Diane Lives and Breathes Burlesque2011-12-15
Living with Passion!! This is Diane's motto. Read her amazing testimonial of perseverance and strength...
Dancing is an activity that until recently, I only watched from afar. I have Cystic Fibrosis, which is an inherited, fatal lung disease. When I was born the average life expectancy for someone with CF was four years old and I was diagnosed when I was two. Living with Cystic Fibrosis has always restricted my lung capacity. Eight years ago, I received the gift of a double lung transplant, but it is only in the last few years that I have been healthy enough to try dancing! To find Burlesquercise was a gift in itself, but to have Diana Lefebvre as the woman behind the movement is the reason woman flock to this fun form of exercise, dance and self-discovery. Diana and her instructors, are encouraging, friendly, and make us all feel beautiful both on the inside and outside.
As a complication of my CF, I am also an insulin-dependent Diabetic. Battling these two chronic illnesses has shown me the amazing potential of the human spirit and how important it is to truly appreciate everyone and everything around us. I have always pursued my creative side, but when I was forced to become dependent on an oxygen tank & a feeding tube as my lifelines, I realized I could sit, paint and breathe at the same time! At this point, I was put on the lung transplant list and in 2003 I received a double lung transplant! My journey from deaths' door to a new life, all occurred all in an eight-hour surgery, a three-month hospital stay & an ongoing, arduous recovery process.
Through all of my medical interruptions, I have continued to explore the world of artistic expression through painting. Painting helps me to project the passion I strive for in life, onto a canvas and to always see the joy & opportunities in our world. I am inspired to paint because I believe that life can be viewed with more optimism if you live with passion. Living passionately also translates into being present and aware in our daily thoughts, tasks and interactions with people. This is not a new idea in society, but one must consciously work at it to truly incorporate this simple idea into your life.
Diana Lefebvre embraces this philosophy by reaching out to all kinds of women through her "Burlesquercise" classes. She helps her students engage in physical fitness, while gaining confidence in them-selves by learning to celebrate the natural sexuality in all women. The women, taking these classes, come in all shapes with different backgrounds and life experiences. This has inspired me to paint a Burlesque series called "The woman in me" to try and express the emotions, the sexuality, the colors and of course the Boas onto the canvas! Diana has given me another opportunity by allowing me to have a booth at the Gala to showcase this series. Check it out!
I have so much fun in the classes, that I can't stop smiling. I have worked very hard at getting strong and healthy and now to add a level of confident sexuality on top is the "icing on the cake!" I have been in Burlesque for only a year and this time I have decided to take the last step in the confidence challenge and dance in the Gala! No matter what my feet might do in the routines, MY LUNGS ARE DANCING!
Thank you Diana for this opportunity and for allowing woman to
"Sing and dance like no one is watching!"
Diane Kinahan

News Roundup
David Spero
June 10, 2009
I've been dealing with a bad cold of late, but I'm still keeping an eye on the latest diabetes news. Here are some headlines that have caught my attention recently:
Gingko biloba
Another recent study out of Korea found that gingko biloba reduced neuropathic pain in rats. Dr. Yee Suk Kim of The Catholic University of Seoul, South Korea, exposed rats with neuropathic pain to cold and pressure in their feet. Rats who had been given a gingko extract exhibited less pain response than rats who had been given a placebo (inactive treatment).
And according to the University of Maryland Medical Center's Web site, "Ginkgo has been used in traditional medicine to treat circulatory disorders and enhance memory." There is some scientific support for this use as well, such as a study done last year in China, which showed that ginkgo biloba extract improved coronary blood flow in older adults.
We all know you shouldn't jump at every piece of "scientific" dietary advice that comes along. In this case, however, magnesium is easy to get, often comes along with other healthful minerals and vitamins, and is associated with strong bones. So why not? Dietary sources of magnesium include green, leafy vegetables, meats, starches, grains, nuts, and milk. Previous dietary surveys have shown that a large portion of adults do not meet the Recommended Daily Allowance for magnesium (320 milligrams per day for women age 31 years and older and 420 milligrams per day for men age 31 years and older).
Dietary approach
Drug research
Glucose control debate
But there's a problem with this finding, which I've exposed before. What the studies included in this analysis show is that controlling glucose with various drugs doesn't give any health advantage. They don't say anything about controlling blood glucose with food, exercise, and stress reduction.
Nonetheless, there is a strong element of truth in this report. Focusing on a number such as A1C or weight can distract us from focus on the overall health and the quality of our lives. And that is a mistake. Risking medicine side effects and hypoglycemia may not be worth a 0.5% reduction in A1C. The paper calls for individualizing A1C goals and medicine choices and allowing patients to decide what is right for them. I think we can all agree on that.
Intimacy program meets barriers
You can check out our new sex advice column here. This one focuses on medical treatments of erection problems.
Well, I hope you are all pursuing your "Tastes Good" and "Feels Good" diets. This cold has made it so that I can't taste anything anyway, but I wish you all some pleasurable eating!
Hi, Your link on the 'sex advice column' seems to be broken. I'm a recently diagnosed diabetic but controlling with medicine. I've noticed a drop in energy and enthusiasm levels in my sex life and am hoping to bring things as far back to normal as possible. Thanks

In the wake of Eric Garner's death in police custody, a new Quinnipiac University poll finds that New Yorkers have different views on the New York City Police Department.
According to researchers at the university, they say it's mostly split by race.
They found that 84 percent of black New Yorkers polled thought police officers citywide are tougher on black people, while about 50 percent of whites agreed.
On the topic of police brutality, 56 percent of black respondents say it is a very serious problem in the city, compared to about one-quarter of white respondents who shared the same view.
When it came to overall policing strategy, there seemed to be more agreement. Most said police should issue summonses or make arrests for so-called "quality-of-life" offenses.
Police Commissioner William Bratton released a statement saying he was "gratified" that New Yorkers understood quality of life enforcement. He credits the approach with turning around city crime rates in the '90s.
He said, in part, "The challenge remains to do it in a way that is both lawful and respectful."
He said the NYPD is committed to that challenge.

i want to come up with & draw a design plan for my new apartment. i want it to be simple yet beautiful.
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

i want to come up with & draw a design plan for my new apartment. i want it to be simple yet beautiful.
I want to spend more time playing with Watanuki, even if I'm feeling tired, 'cause I know he feels neglected. :( He's such a lively animal, I feel bad for him staying in his cage for hours and hours while I'm not around. I also want to take him out for walks more often and overall take better care of him.
oddly, I rarely feel happy on my birthday. this year I felt pretty miserable. gonna try to change that in 2009!
I have to get a new one ASAP. Need to stop making excuses for being so damn lazy & go fill out the papers. :/
reading Bernard Werber's "Us, Gods"
I like it so far, though his "The Empire of the Angels" was way better.
I've been waiting for a few months to see this movie!
ah.. I'm a girl. shoes make me happy :)
I think this goal is quite hard to achieve, but I will try to find a job that will be more satisfying than my previous one.
just a bunch of shoes & clothes I never wear + some toys given to charity.
will keep doing it. totally worth it!
sooooo worth it! :)
I'm 22 and about to start my own family. My little sister Nika was born 6 months ago. She lives with my dad and his second wife in another country, and I've only seen her once. She's the cuttest baby ever. I want to make an effort to visit them more often and spend as much time with her as I possibly can.

OTTAWA, Kan. (AP)- Franklin County authorities have identified the man who died in an apparent skydiving accident in eastern Kansas as Brad Griffin, 54 of Wichita.
The sheriff's office says the accident happened Saturday night in a field outside Ottawa, which is located about 60 miles southwest of Kansas City.
Franklin County undersheriff Rick Geist says the man was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim's name hasn't been released.
The Ottawa Herald reports the sheriff's office, firefighters from Lincoln-Ottawa-Harrison Fire Department and representatives from the skydiving company began searching for the skydiver when he didn't land in the designated drop zone. His body was found about one mile from the drop zone.
Geist says the Federal Aviation Administration is expected to join the investigation.

mix it 50/50 with an imperial stout.
I don't care what the heck Lindeman's is defined as, I for one think it tastes great. Now if the bar didn't serve it in a champane flute I would be able to feel good about ordering it. I want to brew a sour or a lambic, can somebody let me know what I need to try before taking that step. I have some pretty good beer stores and a Flying Saucer nearby.
I have no problems kegging or killing the yeast, hell I will have quite awhile to research what to do. I would love to make a clone of the Framboise that Lindeman's makes. I am sure the wife and I would love drinking on that one. What real Lambics should I try to see if I really want to make a lambic style ale?

Darling meets road tax hike rebels - Scotsman.com News
Reports suggest a Labour revolt has been averted by Mr Darling promising to "fix" the issue.
The Treasury insisted he has "not made any concessions or promises to make any in the future" and said there are "no plans whatever" to abandon the changes.
So it will be a full scale retreat then -
Gordon Brown's 10p tax fiasco to cost another £1 billion - Times Online
Gordon Brown is facing a £1 billion annual bill for the 1.1 million people who have yet to be compensated for the 10p tax fiasco.
The scale of liabilities piling up for the Government emerges today with a devastating critique of Mr Brown's personal handling of the issue that has hobbled his Government.
As Chancellor, Mr Brown acted for the "perceived benefit of seeming to pull rabbits from the hat" when he cut 2p off the basic rate of income tax and paid for it by abolishing the 10p rate.
The criticism, from the Labour-dominated Treasury Select Committee,
Darling as the Laurel to Brown's Hardy must mutter "That's another fine mess you've got me into" every time he reads his briefing notes.

The next time you make BBQ pulled pork or chicken, definitely try making your own sauce. It makes such a huge difference from store-bought sauce and is really quite simple to do. Freeze and leftovers to use at a later date. This recipe makes about 7 cups.
2 cups ketchup
2 cups ketchup
2 cups tomato sauce
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 1/4 cups red wine vinegar
1/2 cup unsulphured molasses
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
4 teaspoons hickory flavored liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
In a large saucepan, over medium heat, mix together all the wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken as it simmers and again as it cools. Store in the refrigerator or freeze for later use. Use the sauce in any recipe that calls for barbecue sauce.

The Best Album Art of 2011
10. Exile – 4TRK Mind – SoulSpazm
While Exile's concept LP, 4TRK Mind, wasn't the strongest LP from Below The Heavens / Emanon producer, he definitely delivered one of the best album covers and accompanying viral campaigns for it. This album cover pretty much sums up Exile Manfredi in a nutshell. Soak it in, ladies.
9. Travis Barker – Give The Drummer Some – Interscope – Designed by original Dr. Octagon LP artist Pushead, we get a similar theme here with the rotting skull of one T. Barker, complete with mohawk and drumsticks. While this LP didn't quite deliver like we wanted to, the cover (and guest list) sure made us want to listen.
8. Jedi Mind Tricks – Violence Begets Violence – Enemy Soil – JMT album covers always manage to be eye-catching, this one featuring members of what they refer to in North Korea as the stunted generation (the little duns), suggesting the cycle of violence will repeat as time goes on. Cold, chilling.
7. Yelawolf – Radioactive – Shady/Interscope – Simply dope design here. While it probably would have been more fitting for the kid to have black hair, this album cover is definitely one of the illest.
6. Evidence - Cats & Dogs – Rhymesayers – Ev cheekily takes things a step further with this beating of a dead horse of his Weatherman persona, with a 9-11-esque memorial to all the fallen cats and dogs.
5. Apathy – Honkey Kong – Dirty Version – The sheer audacity of this album cover, depicting Apathy as a massive albino gorilla on a path to destruction, is probably the most accurate metaphor we can think of for the CT rhyme animal. Dope LP to boot.
4. Lloyd Banks – The Cold Corner 2 – We hate to include a mixtape cover on this list, but Banks killed it with this one, capturing the mindstate of New York City and perhaps the rest of the country, just as the Occupy Wall Street movement broke out.
3. The Roots – undun – Island/Def Jam – The Roots went for simplicity with the cover to undun, taking what looks to be vintage photography much like they did with Things Fall Apart. Consider this the ying to TFA's yang.
2. Mobb Deep – Black Cocaine – Infamous Records - Dope.
1. Jay-Z + Kanye West – Watch The Throne – Roc-A-Fella - There probably isn't an album cover that screams "buy me" more than this one. An album that is pretty much summed up as two stylish, rich guys rapping about how stylish and rich they are, packaged in a golden, embossed cross. That shit cray.
The Worst Album Art of 2011
10. Drake – Take Care – YMCMB
You already know we love this LP, so obviously we didn't judge a book by it's cover. But damn, what were you thinking, Drizzy? No seriously, why are you so pensive on the album cover? For a man with lots of gold, he sure does look sad. He also looks like he is holding a Thanksgiving drumstick, from a distance. This cover also prompted the Twitter trending topic #drakecrieswhen.
9. Shunda K – The Most Wanted – Fanatic
Yo, uh, what the fuck is happening here? Oh we get it, she's like Mimic, the X-Men's crappiest villain. Superlame.
8. Ace Hood – Blood, Sweat, & Tears – Def Jam – So you finished P90X, congrats. But rappers, please stop putting your oiled up, bloody chests and nipples on your album cover. Nobody wants to see that shit. Seriously.
7. Pete Rock & Smif-N-Wessun – Monumental – Duck Down – This is one of the best LP's of the year, incidentally. So why did they get the blind sculpting chick from Lionel Richie's "Hello" video to do the cover?
6. A$ap Rocky – Live Love A$ap – Apparently this guy has never heard of Aesop Rock. Or seen the Stankonia LP cover.
5. 2 Chainz – T.R.U. REALigon – Def Jam – Wow, this dude is so in demand that he gets text messages even as he pisses! Chalk that up with a questionable title (what is he advertising True Religion Jeans or something?) and you easily have one of the wackest covers of the year. Fuck off.
4. Roc C – Stoned Genius – Yeah, sometimes we perceive things differently when we are stoned.
3. Curtains – Killer Tape – An artist's depiction of a crime scene, executed poorly.
2. French Montana – Casino Life - Imitating your favorite mob movie for your album cover/video/intro/whatever has been done. What's great (or not) about this one is that they left Sharon Stone in tact.
1. Tyga – Careless World: Rise Of The Last King – YMCMB – This album cover has already been dissed on the internet for being too similar to Watch The Throne, but even worse, Tyga is mirroring himself as The Last King Of Scotland, Idi Amin. Uh, did you see this movie, Tyga? If so, you probably wouldn't want to resemble anything close to him. Not too late to scrap it, buddy.
Worst Album Cover #7 – So why did they get the caption for this album cover from Pitchfork?
ha nice! we weren't the only ones who saw it.
hey, i thought smif n wessun cover was dope
that shunda k cover, ahahahahahaha. holy crap.
After following that link from Rizzo, you guys really dropped the ball on missing that Bilal album, I mean come on man thats just priceless, what was he thinking?
Thanks though Pizzo, although this year wasnt the best these lists are always good for a laugh.
Maybe im giving faaarr tooooo muuuch credit but I thought no.4 on the worst list was ill, I thought it was a play on the movie "Fantastic Planet"

25 Oddest Celebrity Pets
Posted by Mary Reyes on June 20, 2012
David Beckham's Micro Pigs
Apparently, even a tough guy like David Beckham isn't immune to cuteness. The famous soccer player's wife bought him two micro pigs for Christmas in 2009, which they named after family friends David Furnish and Elton John. The micro pigs, which grow to be just 14 inches tall, cost the couple over 1,400 pounds, or about $2,200 US. The stylish swine currently reside on the Beckham's country estate in England.
Tori Spelling's Chicken
On any given day in Los Angeles, one might spot Tori Spelling out and about with her fluffy pet chicken, Coco Chanel. The reality TV star, mother, and author likes to carry Coco around town while she runs errands and even feeds her scones and other human treats.
Mike Tyson's Pigeons
Back in the day, he was a ferocious boxer who bit off someone's ear, but nowadays Mike Tyson has a new hobby – pigeon racing. Tyson began collecting small numbers of pigeons even before his boxing days. His collection grew after he retired from the boxing scene and he now owns thousands of domesticated pigeons. He says he considers his hobby to be therapeutic and even hired a pigeon trainer to help him hone his skills.
Kristen Stewart's Wolf-Dog Hybrids
Bella Swan might be on Team Edward, but is Kristen Stewart secretly on Team Jacob? The Twilight star's mother owns several wolf-dog hybrids. In an interview with David Letterman, she admitted the wolf-dogs look rather intimidating, but assured him that they're actually very sweet. She even brought a picture of herself cuddling with one of the gentle hounds.
Reese Witherspoon's Miniature Donkeys
You can take the girl out of the honky tonk, but you can't take the honky tonk out of the girl. While visiting a friend's farm, Reese Wither spoon fell in love with miniature donkeys. She later bought two of her own and named them Honky and Tonky. They joined Weatherpersons other four-legged family members, which include pigs, goats, and dogs.
Michael Jackson's Chimpanzee
Although the King of Pop was known for monkeying around in the public eye, he brought a whole new meaning to the phrase when he adopted a young chimpanzee. The chimp, named Bubbles, often accompanied him on business trips before the two settled at Neverland Ranch. There, Bubbles reportedly slept in a crib in Jackson's room, used the same toilet, and even ate candy in the Neverland movie theater. He was relocated to an animal sanctuary when he began displaying aggressive tendencies.
Leonardo Dicaprio's Tortoise
Leonardo Dicaprio doesn't mind taking things slow. In 2010, the actor bought a 38-pound Sulcata tortoise at a reptile breeders' conference for $400. Experts say the tortoise can grow to weigh 200 pounds and live for 80 years. That's a long time to think about whether or not the end of Inception was a dream.
Nicole Kidman's Alpacas
What do Nicole Kidman and her alpacas have in common? They're beautiful long eyelashes. Kidman and her husband Keith Urban love raising the llama-like creatures on their farm in Nashville. The actress said she was initially drawn to them because of their beautiful long necks and eyelashes, but she grew to love them more because of their gentle nature.
Steven Tyler's Raccoon
Raccoons have gotten a bad rap, but Steven Tyler knows better than to believe all the hype. The rock legend told David Letterman that he goes fishing with his pet raccoon on his shoulder every day. Contrary to the rabid raccoons that attack people in movies, domesticated raccoons can be bought legally, litter box trained, and are said to be as friendly as dogs.
Hugh Hefner's Zoo
We all know Hugh Hefner keeps bunnies at his mansion, but did you know his abode is also home to a host of other animals? The CFO of Playboy turned part of his estate into an official zoo, complete with peacocks, flamingos, Squirrel Monkeys, Capuchins, Spider Monkeys, and Tamarins.
Nicolas Cage's King Cobras
Nicolas Cage drew inspiration for his character in the movie Ghost rider from an unlikely source – his King Cobra, Sheba. The actor revealed in an interview that his cobra hated him. Every time he came in to feed her, she would turn her back to him and sway from side to side in an attempt to hypnotize him. The markings on a cobra's back resemble an eye, which adds to the eeriness of their mesmerizing defense mechanism. Cage wanted his character in the movie to captivate and terrify the audience at the same time, so he mimicked the actions of his snake during certain scenes.
Charlie Sheen's Chinese Water Dragon
When it comes to pets, Charlie Sheen is "winning." The crazy actor once owned a Chinese water dragon, which he dubbed Hopper Jr. The animal died of neglect, like the several other pets that have died under Sheen's supervision.
Nicolas Cage's Octopus
In addition to his cobras, Nicolas Cage also owned an octopus. He claimed that observing animals that are so different from humans helped him develop his acting skills. Unfortunately, Cage had to give his 8-legged friend away after his elaborate spending led to financial problems.
Tippi Hedren's Lion
During the 1970s, actress and model Tippi Hedren, mother of actress Melanie Griffith, came up with a wild idea. She decided to open a sanctuary for big cats just 30 miles outside of Los Angeles. However, not all of the animals stayed in the sanctuary. Her family brought home a fully-grown lion to keep as a pet. The family's everyday life with the lion, which they named Togar, was captured in a famous 1970s photo shoot.
Mike Tyson's White Tigers
There's a tiger in the bathroom! Mike Tyson's fictional pet tiger became famous in the hit 2009 comedy The Hangover, but few people know Tyson actually owned several white tigers. Unfortunately, he had to give his feline friends away after taking care of them became too expensive.

Oh well drats.
Kept trying all day off and on, and never not once did it go all the way through.
Then I tried again just now, and it's finally all loads up nicely and then says they are all gone.
It's okay though…because I went a bought 3 pomagranates at the store tonight, and they are RIPE!
*Celebrates with a pomagranate over her defeat against the load monsters of doom*

I too was disappointed in my efforts. My store was pretty dead today so I got on about 10 times through out the day and never once got it to load. Then I finally did only to have it say they were out :-(. Oh well, I guess I can't get them all. I will have to take PinkSodaPop's example and buy a few Pomegranates on my way home from work tomorrow.

Our Company was incorporated on September 15, 1991 as a private limited company with the object of designing, developing, installing and maintaining software packages for domestic and international markets. We are registered as 100% Export Oriented Unit (EOU) with Software Technology Parks of India, Department of Electronics, Govt. of India, New Delhi.
We developed and exported software packages from 1993 to 2003 namely "Mimex" for GUI application, LearnX a self learning tool, ELX, Flicker, MathX, EzEc builder, Netcare, E-DOCS, etc. With E-DOCS, we provided powerful, extensible and affordable document management and imaging solution to companies and organizations looking to reduce their dependence on paper distributed information more efficiently and assist collaboration among users. MathX was an interactive mathematical wizard on MS-Windows , NT and 95 for evaluating complete expressions and solving intricate equations. It provided an easy to use interface to combine equations, graphics and text in single/multiple documents. EzEc Builder package was an integrated Electronic Commerce Tool to create and maintain supermarkets on Internet. It provided a Back-Office administration and an extensive set of canned reports. A virtual ERP, with all facets electronics commerce, inventory control, financial accounting and customer management. Our turnover increased from Rs. 4.5 Million to Rs. 78 Million during fiscal year 1993 to 2003. In the domestic market, we also developed Intelligent Data Acquisition System and installed on Konkan Railways in 53 stations from 1997 to 1999.
We started developing Railway Safety systems from 1999 and successfully developed and demonstrated a prototype of ACDs to Konkan Railway Corporation Limited and Members of the Railway Safety Board. In March 2000 we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with KRCL for Technical Collaboration for developing full scale networked Anti-Collision Systems (ACDs). We, jointly with KRCL, took up an intensive analysis of the major accidents that occurred in India , The functional requirements of the clients and operational safety procedures have been fully considered, for designing the logics of Anti-Collision Systems. Based on the concept and domain knowledge provided by Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd, we developed the networked Anti-Collision Devices, using Global Positioning System, Radio Data Communication, Application Logics and Inter facing these with an Auto Breaking System developed by KRCL.
The product has been successfully developed for deployment after initial and extended field trials on the Amritsar-Jalandhar Section of Northern Railway using 125 ACDs of different types during July 2002 to January 2003. The product underwent improvements and series of successful trials over a period of 3 years. Consequent to an agreement in the year 2003 with KRCL, we became the exclusive manufactures and suppliers of these systems to KRCL including installation and maintenance. On January 20, 2004 the Honorable Railway Minister launched the project at Kishangunj, Bihar on the Northeast Frontier Railways. Subsequently we have taken up execution of a project for deployment of ACDs on over 1730 KMs on the same route, which is being completed shortly.
We also developed ADDs for Metro Sky-Bus System during 2003 – 04 under technology partnership with KRCL. We have also been carrying out research and development work on Advanced Railway Signal Systems on cost sharing basis with KRCL.
The company with its proven quality systems was certified as an ISO 9001-2000 in terms of process maturity in Software Life-cycle Management from Lloyd's registrar Quality Assurance in June 2002.
We are at present engaged in manufacture, installation, commission and maintenance of networked Anti-Collision Systems for Konkan Railway Corporation Limited. During the financial year 2003-04 and 2004-05, our entire revenues were generated from the manufacture and supply of Anti-Collision Devices and services viz. Track surveys, installation and maintenance, trading activity through sale of accessories of ACDs. In fiscal 2003-04 the revenues from supply of ACDs were just over 50% of our total revenues. The revenues from sales and services of ACDs have increased from Rs.162.7 Million to Rs. 531.53 Million during 2004-05, which shows the importance of increased use of these safety systems by the Railways.
We being the sole manufacturers and suppliers of the Anti-Collision Systems, our technical facility at the Infocity Layout, Madhapur, Hyderabad has been designated as the "Outsourced Facility" for these systems for Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd. We therefore receive our orders for these systems from Konkan Railways Corporation Ltd. who in turn receive the orders from Indian Railways. We also supply the accessories since these are subjected to pre-supply inspections by us. Development of ACD technology and getting the product manufactured at a single source is advantageous to the user as the ACD system requires continuous R&D, innovation and Quality Certification. We also execute on site projects in various zones where the ACD deployment is required. Thus, we provide to KRCL and also Indian Railways through them, Turnkey solution as a single window.

This is great news for St. Lawrence and indeed for all of the booth. When St. Lawrence is doing well all the Burin Peninsula does well. Now is a good time to build a hwy. from Lords Cove thru the country to Grand Bank to allow shorter travel time for commuters and commerce.This hwy if built will be the catalysis thats required to open up easy access for a freer flow of goods and that means money and money means jobs.

It's a great news story for the area that has been hurting for years. Repayable or non-repayable it will create many jobs which is important for the area. Most will be spent on labour which means it will go to the people and not the company. Thank you Kathy.

Call Deckard: 'bot tricks judge into thinking it's human
The Loebner Prize is awarded to programmers who can create the most lifelike interactive program. This year the money went to Bruce Wilcox for his chatbot "Suzette," which even managed to convince a judge it was human after a 25 minute convesation.
Suzette isn't technically the first program to confuse Loebner judges — in the past, however, conversations only lasted five minutes. Now, judges have 25 consecutive spans of 60 seconds to grill both a human and a program without knowing which is which. When all was said and done, one judge thought Suzette wasn't the chatbot.
For the bulk of the time, judges stick to questions similar to a Turing test, asking about the time, the function of objects (such as a hammer), relationships between objects (which coin is the largest, for instance), and the memory of the participant.
You can actually give an earlier version of Suzette a spin, though we have to say we don't find it to be very convincing at all. Then again, we knew what Suzette was from the get-go.

Enhancing the Surface
Textured Media Adds Special Effects to Walls
By Cassandra Balentine
Part 1 of 2
D�cor and digital print make an excellent match. As consumers and marketers understand the possibilities of custom digital print, the sky is the limit. In addition to decals and wallcoverings, digitally produced interior elements advance to the next level with special effects and textures.
Peter Spotto, director, sales, DreamScape, points out that textured or finished wallcovering media is desirable for several reasons. Graphics printed on textured wallcovering media further the look and feel of an image, add a third dimension to artwork, and help mask imperfections to the surface it covers.
Spotto explains that light textures range from a smooth semi-matte and luster finish to light embossing such as a cobweb pattern or light stipple to deeper or more defined patterns such as beads and canvas, while heavier textures are beneficial in hiding wall imperfections. �The choice of any of these textures is more of a subjective decision from the designer. Whether it is a photographic image, graphic, or pattern, the designer makes choices on how best to enhance the work or complement the d�cor of surrounding spaces.�
Jerry Hill, VP, new market business development, Drytac Corporation, adds that textured media offers excellent abrasion resistance. �Consider hotels for example�the halls and walls are covered in textured wallpaper. Why? Because it helps protect high-traffic areas for luggage marks and other damage,� he explains. �Without it, hotels would have a substantially higher need for painting services every few months, which greatly impacts their maintenance costs.�
Desirable and Necessary
One major appeal of textured media is design potential. With new selections emerging, consumers, designers, and print providers benefit.
Designers are presented with new opportunities not attainable in the past. �The idea that you can have an extensive palette of color, finishes, and textures achieved with films and wall d�cor gives the designer new opportunities for creative applications,� says Kevin Rourke, national specifications manager, Arlon Graphics, LLC.
�Interior designers and customers make use of a texture or finish to accent the design they are creating for the space,� notes, Rudy Herrera, digital wall d�cor business development, graphic solutions business, Hewlett-Packard (HP), adding that the ability to place a design on a wall with a texture or finish can be much more compelling than a flat, non-textured wallcovering or traditional stucco or printed wall.
Shaun Jaycox, product line manager, LexJet Corporation, points out that many walls already have a textured finish, so special media helps create a custom look that preserves the look of the original. �Although there are several finishes out there, there are only a few that print shops tend to pick on a regular basis,� he adds, noting velvet, pebble, canvas, and stucco as popular options.
Walter Gierlach Jr., president, Photo Tex Group, Inc., adds that textured/finished media helps make a wall fit into the d�cor of the room, adding soft style opposed to standout alternatives such as neon signage.
Textured wallcoverings serve a functional purpose beyond design. �Generally speaking, when you move beyond a surface that is more textured than drywall, you will want to use materials designed for textured surfaces,� states Tim Boxeth, business manager, 3M Commercial Graphics.
Marcel Medved, business development manager, Asphalt Art USA, adds that texture also helps prevent glare from lighting.
Jaime Sherman, marketing manager, Ultraflex Systems, Inc., also suggests that textured wallcovering media extend beyond aesthetics into functionality. �A matte finish wallcovering is more likely to be used in a showcase or museum atmosphere where there are spotlights and camera flashes, the matte texture prevents glare. Also, a heavy textured wall media is likely to cover imperfections on a wall/surface better then a thin or light texture,� she notes.
Market Potential
Drytac�s Hill predicts that while the market for digital wallcoverings is just starting to take off, it will really explode in the coming years. �Although wallcoverings have been produced for some time, the industry was slow to accept this media because of historical design control,� he adds.
3M�s Boxeth sees textured wallcoverings growing in conjunction with wall possibility awareness, due in part to high-profile projects. He also credits its growth to continued film technology development and �greener� options that make wall graphics more available, affordable, and attractive.
HP�s Herrera sees steady growth for textured custom wallcoverings. �A major reason for this is that traditional wallcovering manufacturers and their sales representatives have done a good job of conveying to architects, interior designers, and customers the significant value a textured look brings to a room design.�
He notes the downsides of the traditional rotogravure printing process, which enables the production of a large number of textures and finishes via etched cylinders. It requires a high setup cost and long runs to be cost effective. A unique SKU must be created for each design, texture, and finish combination.
�The ability of a digital printer to produce custom wallcoverings on demand opens the door to create an almost infinite number of designs on a variety of wallcovering material of various textures and finishes. This enables the designer and customer to go big, bold, and innovative with wallcoverings in ways never before possible,� adds Herrera.
DreamScape�s Spotto points out that the textured, printable wallcovering market has enjoyed steady growth over the last seven years. �Although the financial crisis of 2007 to 2008 affected many of the traditional users of commercial wallcoverings�hospitality, retail, corporate, food chain, and museums�we�ve seen a strong rebound by these sectors along with additional growth. The use of printable wallcovering media for custom murals, in-store branding, and custom d�cor continues to grow. Also, the demand for eco-friendly wallcovering products is growing steadily as more companies institute sustainable programs for remodeling and new construction for offices and stores,� he concludes.
Enhanced Effects
Wall graphics complement a variety of settings, from homes to restaurants. Whether the designer, marketer, or customer is looking for a subtle or high-impact solution, a range of media options help attain the desired look. With the latest textured and finished media options, the outcome is enhanced.

describes and names organisms, classifies biological diversity
scientific name: Genus (capitalized)+ specific ephithet (lower case), followed by author(s) and year described
e.g., Mus musculus Linnaeus, 1758
Higher levels of classification are not italicized
Author and especially year often not included
Mus musculus
Be careful, because sometimes two different people give same name to different taxa
Principle of priority: earlier name is valid, later one (in this case called a junior homonym) has to be replaced
Echidna Forster 1777 vs. Echidna Cuvier 1797
If species has been transferred to a new genus, authority will be in parentheses
e.g., Portunus pelagicus (Linnaeus, 1758)
original name was Cancer pelagicus Linnaeus, 1758
Multiple names for the same species are known as subjective synonyms
different people describe the same species, giving it different names
note requirement of a third action (i.e., someone deciding these names refer to the same species)
senior synonyms vs. junior synonyms: priority rules here too
Ampelaster carolinianus (Walter) G.L. Nesom 1995
Aster carolinianus Walter 1788
Lasallea caroliniana (Walter) Semple & L. Brouillet 1980
Virgulus carolinianus (Walter) Reveal & Keener 1981
sometimes subgenera and subspecies (or varieties) also included
e.g., Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine: Pinus (Ducampopinus) aristata
e.g., Southeast Asian House Mouse: Mus musculus castaneus
pay attention to these, as sometimes subgenus becomes genus, or subspecies becomes species (and vice versa!)
Botanists do things a little differently
often abbreviate names of frequently used authors, and often use initials of first and even middle names
when a species is moved to a different genus, a plant name will include both the original author in parentheses and the author who moved it to a new genus
Landoltia punctata (G. Mey.) Les & D.J.Crawford was originally named Spirodela punctata by G. Meyer
Fossil taxa normally indicated with a special symbol in front of name, usually a cross
e.g., †Tyrannosaurus rex
CAUTION: people are often inconsistent about labelling fossil taxa
Names of species sometimes change over time as we learn more about them
Geochelone gigantea (Seychelles Giant Tortoise) now Dipsochelys dussumieri
Moving species from one genus to another may change ending of its specific epithet
Lasallea caroliniana to Virgulus carolinianus
Simple typos in either the original list or other resources
Changes or continuing disagreements about higher classification
be prepared to look at more than one reference!
Wikipedia, zipcodezoo, GBIF, Paleontology Database,etc.
Zoology vs. Botany
Botanists sometimes use "Division" instead of "Phylum"
Within each kingdom, each name can only be used to refer to a single taxon, but the same name can be used in different kingdoms!
e.g., do you recognize this Cannabis species?
Cannabis Linneaus, 1753 vs. Cannabis Blyth, 1850

The Way Home - (by moWow)
Last edited by Bleau; 07-30-2014 at 04:42 AM.. Reason: New trailer :)
Been following this game for a while. As a history buff and sci-fi fan, the premise was intriguing. And having played a few levels, I can say the game is pretty fun, but the true draw is the story.
Gameplay wise, it isn't the most complex or challenging title out there. You have icons to switch lanes on the right, and to activate power ups on the left. Your goal is to collect items to make the individuals in each level happy, while avoiding obstacles like walls and unhappy people. So while the gameplay does have a twitch element, it isn't exactly as frustrating or difficult as the other reflex twitchy games on IOS
But what I found to be most intriguing and compelling were the stories and vignettes. Told through cute graphics and short text, you'll follow the Quantum Leap-esque journey of Will as he finds himself thrust into events throughout history, from Tom Stratton and his sound barrier-shattering flight to more current events. The fact that the gameplay is anchored to these narratives provides a fun and entertaining drive to keep playing and see what happens next
As for IAP, you can purchase power ups and second winds, but I've found that both are unnecessary to enjoy the game or complete the levels I've played

Bronxsta. He's never the developer, but he always beats them to creating threads for their own games ). Thank you for creating the thread
We'll continue the discussion from the upcoming thread. Just wondering if it wouldn't be useful to also copy the list of proposed stories here.
Also, since we got approved by Apple on the first try, and it's Christmas... and review are good for time travel, we are giving away a $15 dollar iTunes voucher
We are working on the next update:
- better memory management
- some bugs and small glitches
- hardcore levels
- more polish (you can never have too much polish)
We are planning weekly update submissions, working over the holidays as well.
As always, looking forward to your feedback and impressions.
Those are some very nice things to say about The Way Home. Let me put it this way:
"Dude, are you serious? My wife doesn't say that about the game.... and she's biased" )
Can't wait for us to finish the other stories and send out the update. Curious question. You've said on many occasions that you are a game dev at heart. How would you... "evolve" the simple not so twitchy gameplay? (it wasn't really meant to be that twitchy)
Oh boy! I've been watching this one for a little while, definitely downloading this!
A quick copy from our upcoming thread. Sometime at the end of January we will have published all the existing stories and start on the user recommended/suggested ones. Here's what awesome people (you know who you are) have suggested so far:

Last edited by Bleau; 01-22-2014 at 04:35 AM.. Reason: Added awesome suggestions to the list, what else?
Speed menu on iPhone 4 IOS 7
But to add to the complexity, have the individuals and obstacles move, rather than remain static so while it would still maintain the core gameplay, would inject some split second reaction elements so you'd have to consider where a person or object would be before you reached them. That's all I could think of, speed and moving elements, but the game isn't meant to be twitchy so it's not really a fault. I was just thinking of a way to describe the gameplay
And might be too late, but rather than brick walls, obstacles could be more tied with the story. So take the first story for example. Instead of brick walls in a hangar/base, it could be handcarts and cargo containers.
Regarding the speed setting - http://youtu.be/_O4P2Kce0sE?t=26s :| - That was not supposed to be there. Will go out with the update.
The speed increases with each object you collect. It's similar to space invaders: the more enemies you hit, the faster they start coming towards you.
Your feedback goes in line with what we had in mind. We left the walls alone because art takes a hevty amount of time and it was a necessary compromise.
But, they are not hard to change. Just takes time to draw
Last edited by Bleau; 12-18-2013 at 11:00 AM.. Reason: added some explanations
Awesome that this is finally out! Had a good time beta testing this!
As Bronxsta stated before, the big draw here is the story. Maybe I'm just weird, but the one with the jet pilot got my heart pounding haha.
The gameplay is fast paced, I'd put it on the level more with Don't Shoot Yourself than with Duet or Super Hexagon.
I really enjoy it and it has an awesome story so I recommend you pick it up, it's free after all!
Edit: I literally just posted an AppStore review before posting on this thread and I saw the $15 iTunes voucher, cool!
Also, would a Batman story be possible? Hehe.
Or someone on the Titanic

Last week I had the privilege of participating in a referendum request hearing at the board of elections in Washington, D.C. Our team petitioned to have the people of the District of Columbia vote on the recently passed same-sex marriage law before it goes into effect. We feel very strongly that the people's voice needs to be heard.
As I sat in the chambers, I felt a growing sense of outrage at the audacity of my city's elected officials and the hubris of our appointed civil servants. There seems to be an amazing assault on the basic freedoms of all Americans, regardless of race. Courts and legislators seem compelled to ignore polls and the heartfelt values of the people. Further, in D.C. the board of elections and the city council have ignored the District of Columbia's charter, which should act like the "national constitution," but on city affairs. read more

Pumpkin Bars With Lemon Glaze
1 egg
1 cup sugar
1 cup canola or light vegetable oil
1 1/3 cups pitted dates
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup homemade or canned pumpkin purée
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 Tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10- by 15-inch jelly roll pan.
In a large bowl, beat the egg. Stir in the sugar, oil and dates. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and spices. Add the egg mixture
and pumpkin puree alternately to the flour mixture in thirds, stirring to blend each time. Stir in the optional nuts. Pour the batter into the prepared
pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake until the top is browned, and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
Remove the pan to a rack and let cool about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice to make a glaze. If the glaze seems too thin, add more sugar. Spread the glaze over the baked
surface. Sprinkle with the lemon zest. Let stand 5 minutes, then cut into 3- by 1 1/2-inch bars.
Makes about 30 bars.
These bars can be made with either pumpkin or persimmon puree.

An April 9 blog post by Denver Water was headlined, "It's raining, it's snowing, the drought is still going." The post notes that it would take about 6 feet of new snow over the next couple of weeks in the mountain watersheds Denver relies on to have a normal snowpack - and even if the snowpack were normal, they would still be in drought because of low reservoir levels left over from last year.
So ... what did this past storm bring us? Practically nothing in the Grand Valley. 14.5 inches in Boulder. Over a foot in some mountain locations, but way less than six feet. Statewide, the storm bumped the total snowpack from 69% of the average for this time of year to 71%. So it's safe to say that Denver's drought is still on.
Why do we on the Western Slope care about Denver's water supply situation? We share a reliance on the Colorado River and its tributaries - their water supply situation mirrors our own. Also, the implementation of an agreement over how to share Colorado River water has already affected management of the river.
In March, dismal snowpack data and low reservoir storage levels triggered an agreement between Western Slope interests, Denver Water and Xcel Energy to "relax" the senior water rights call on the river exercised by the Shoshone Power Plant in Glenwood Canyon. This will reduce water demanded by the power plant in order to allow junior rights upstream to fill Denver Water's Dillon and Williams Fork Reservoirs, the Colorado River District's Wolford Mountain Reservoir and the Bureau of Reclamation's Green Mountain Reservoir.
Wolford Mountain Reservoir water is managed to help endangered fish recover efforts in the Colorado River, as well as to serve the needs of human water users on both sides of the Continental Divide. Green Mountain Reservoir was built in the late 1930s and early 1940s to compensate Western Slope water users for diversions to the East Slope through the Colorado-Big Thompson Project. It helps ensure that water will be available to Grand Valley irrigators late in the season, long after the snowpack has melted.
The relaxation period for the Shoshone Call starts March 14 and ends on May 20, in deference to downstream irrigation needs and the beginning of the rafting season.
In response to the poor water supply situation, Denver Water and several other Front Range water providers have limited outdoor watering to two days/ week. In the Grand Valley, water providers are closely monitoring the situation, but have not yet moved from "State I" drought response - voluntary conservation - to "Stage II," which would involve mandatory restrictions and rate hikes.
This could still happen - almost all of Colorado remains squarely within the area where the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center expects drought conditions to either persist or intensify. If you are interested in keeping up to date with drought conditions and response measures across the state, you can check out a new website established by the Colorado Water Conservation Board: www.coh2o.co.
This is part of a series of articles coordinated by the Water Center at Colorado Mesa University in cooperation with the Colorado and Gunnison Basin Roundtables to raise awareness about water needs, uses and policies in our region. To learn more about the basin roundtables and statewide water planning, and to let the roundtables know what you think, go to www.coloradomesa.edu/WaterCenter.

Alabama Auto Dealer Forrest McConnell Takes Office As NADA Vice Chairman For 2013
MCLEAN, Va., Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Forrest McConnell, III, owner of McConnell Honda and Acura in Montgomery, Ala., is the new vice chairman of the National Automobile Dealers Association, a trade group representing nearly 16,000 new-car and -truck dealerships in the U.S.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130214/DC60767)

"I'm honored to lead a group of entrepreneurs that drive the American economy," McConnell said. "It's a privilege to serve the nation's new-car and -truck dealers who are civic leaders and pillars of their communities across the country."David W. Westcott, owner of David Westcott Buick, GMC and Suzuki in Burlington, N.C., took the helm of NADA at its annual convention and expo, along with McConnell as vice chairman. The NADA convention, held in Orlando, Fla., drew more than 21,000 attendees from Feb. 8-11. The NADA Story The NADA story began in 1917 when 30 auto dealers traveled to the nation's capital to convince Congress not to impose a luxury tax on the automobile. They successfully argued that the automobile is a necessity of American life, not a luxury. From that experience was born the National Automobile Dealers Association. Today, NADA represents nearly 16,000 new-car and -truck dealers, with 32,500 franchises, both domestic and international. For more information, visit www.nada.org.

About Us
About the Healdsburg Food PantryThe Healdsburg Food Pantry is a 100% volunteer-based, not-for-profit 501(C)(3) service organization, founded in 1982 and supported by generous donations from our community. The Pantry's mandate is to collect, store, and distribute food to those in need. Anyone who is a resident of Geyserville or Healdsburg, CA is eligible and welcome to receive food. Currently, bags are filled with groceries and given out to over 2,800 predominately working people monthly. The needs have grown by 66% since 2008 due to the downturn in the economy. A visit on any distribution day will find lines of people including individuals, families with children, households of adults, the homeless and low-income Seniors.
Specially prepared Christmas food baskets provide an extra bit of cheer during the holidays. In addition to food distribution from the Pantry location, twice a month 30 grocery bags of food are delivered to the Healdsburg Senior Center. Once a month, a USDA program provides food to be delivered to Fitch Mountain Terraces, a low-income, senior housing project.
Where the food comes from...
We purchase basics from the Redwood Empire Food Bank, while the food industry (notably, Safeway, Starbucks and Big John's), individuals, farmers, and a Gleaning Team from Farm to Pantry donate additional food beyond the basics.
A 100% Volunteer Organization...
It is the large number of volunteers that ultimately enables the Food Pantry to exist. Throughout the week crews gather bread and food, stock shelves, bag produce, distribute food, help maintain the Pantry and even recycle boxes. What do they get out of it? Certainly, knowing they have been, for someone in need, the literal "staff of life"--a tangible, lifeline to the individual and community.

It's amazing how quickly new memes spring up and take on a life of their own.
Mitt the twit at the second debate.
We took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds who could be qualified to become members of our cabinet. I went to a number of women groups and said, "Could you help us find folks?" I brought binders full of women.
Lovely. At the time of this writing (2 AM EST), Facebook's Binder Full of Women already had over 200,000 fans. Thank you, Mitt. And a thank you to Jessica Luther for tweeting the following and Diana McGinness for directing me to it.
Someone PLEASE photoshop the Sistine Chapel ceiling with God giving Adam a binder labeled "WOMEN." #binderfullofwomen
— Jessica Luther (@scATX) October 17, 2012
As for the rest of the debate, Obama won it hands down. He was calm, in control, articulate and called Romney out on his lies at every opportunity. The highlight had to be Obama taking Romney to task for suggesting that the President and the White House had not taken the murder of four Americans at the Libyan embassy seriously enough.
Wow. President Obama just eviscerated Romney. As an alpha male. It's hard to convey genuine offense without seeming aggressive. But Obama made Romney look cheap and political over a tragedy like Benghazi.
Highlight two was Romney claiming that on the day after the Benghazi attack, the president failed to refer to the attack as an "act of terror." As Candy Crowley pointed out, "act of terror" were the exact words Obama used that day. Romney stood there like a hurt monkey trying to fix the damage. Too late. The liar was once again exposed.
Obama clearly prepared for his Libya response. Romney makes a dumb mistake: Obama says he spoke in the Rose Garden after the attack and called it an act of terror. Romney says "no you didn't." Obama says "get the transcript." Crowley says "he did." THE AUDIENCE APPLAUDS CROWLEY LIVE FACT-CHECKING ROMNEY. Like, twice. They applaud twice. Romney stutters through the rest of his response, and it doesn't matter what he says: He just got fucking destroyed. By the audience, basically.
It was a great night.
No one should be surprised that Romney's Women in Binders' claim that he was so concerned about how few women were up for positions in his Massachusetts' cabinet that he asked for a study is another fib.
What actually happened was that in 2002—prior to the election, not even knowing yet whether it would be a Republican or Democratic administration—a bipartisan group of women in Massachusetts formed MassGAP to address the problem of few women in senior leadership positions in state government. There were more than 40 organizations involved with the Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus (also bipartisan) as the lead sponsor.
They did the research and put together the binder full of women qualified for all the different cabinet positions, agency heads, and authorities and commissions. They presented this binder to Governor Romney when he was elected.
I have written about this before, in various contexts; tonight I've checked with several people directly involved in the MassGAP effort who confirm that this history as I've just presented it is correct—and that Romney's claim tonight, that he asked for such a study, is false.
If a position ever opens up for a Liar-in-Chief, Romney's your guy.

5 Tips for Creating Great Multimedia Press Releases
Today we bring you a guest post via Sheldon Levine. Levine is community manager for Marketwired/Sysomos, an innovative social intelligence company offering global news distribution and reporting services as well as state-of-the-art social media monitoring and analytics powered by Sysomos. Marketwired and Cision recently partnered to allow Cision customers to connect with media, influencers and customers through Marketwired's distribution channels.
With thousands of news releases being distributed every day, PR pros are constantly looking for opportunities to reach a broader audience and drive more views. Incorporating multimedia is one of the most effective ways to accomplish this goal — especially when some sources credit multimedia embeds for traffic bumps of up to 77%.
Perhaps we can, armed with this knowledge, officially declare text-only press releases as a thing of the past. We know visual storytelling is a critical pillar in any effective communication strategy. Just look at how brands continue to invest in image-driven social networks like Instagram, Pinterest and Tumblr. At Marketwired, we believe this best practice shouldn't be limited to social media. Creating multimedia –photos, video, audio, or infographics, for starters – is a smart PR tactic. As an added bonus, the fresh content can be shared on blogs or across social channels, thereby spreading a release's main messages even further.
Whether we're considering products, food or information, we consume with our eyes. Multimedia often offers the extra "sizzle" journalists and bloggers are looking for in their content, and in some cases such releases become stories in their own right. Here are five tips to make your multimedia press releases "pop":

EAU CLAIRE — The director of the Center for Service-Learning at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire will be among those honored during Wisconsin's first PK-16 Service Learning Conference, planned for Sept. 18 at UW-Madison.
Donald Mowry will be recognized for his work with a planning group that helped to launch Wisconsin Campus Compact, a statewide association of college presidents and chancellors committed to strengthening citizenship skills and values by promoting community service and service learning.
UW-Eau Claire's Jumpstart Program also will be spotlighted during the conference. Jumpstart pairs federal work-study college students with children in Head Start and other programs serving low-income preschoolers to help improve their early literacy and social skills.
Wisconsin Campus Compact is partnering with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to present the conference, called "The State Superintendent's Conference on Service-Learning and Citizenship." State Superintendent Elizabeth Burmaster will host the conference. Gov. Jim Doyle will deliver the keynote address.
Conference participants will learn from students why service-learning is important in today's schools, network with others who are committed to providing quality service-learning opportunities for students PK-16, gain practical knowledge about service-learning and opportunities to connect with community partners.
For more information, contact Mowry at (715) 836-4649 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

There must be more...why have we not categorized them?
I am a 48 yo, recently divorced female INTP who works in healthcare as a compliance officer. About 20 years ago I embarked on a journey to find out why there wasn't anyone around me like me. After taking a Meyers-Briggs test in college...the light bulb went on. Determining that the world would not adapt to me, I learned an external persona to be able to survive.
I have yet to meet a fellow female INTP in real life and have just met my first INTP male.

Automated Optimization-based Approach for 3D Characterization of Zeolite Porous Networks
We have developed a new computational framework to fully characterize the three-dimensional porous structure of zeolites, microporous aluminosilicate crystals used in catalysis and separations. The four key steps in our approach are illustrated: (1) identify ring-shaped apertures, known as "portals," which control access to the porous network, (2) detect the presence of channels between pairs of portals using non-linear optimization, (3) locate large pockets of void space, known as "cages," and (4) calculate the connectivity between channels and cages to describe the pathways available to a guest molecule.
