Vicks VapoRub
Vicks VapoRub ointment is a mentholated topical cream manufactured by Vicks. VapoRub is indicated for use on the chest and throat for cough suppression due to the common cold or on muscles and joints for minor aches and pains. Users of VapoRub often apply it immediately prior to sleep. VapoRub is currently manufactured and packaged in India and Mexico. In the German speaking area (the exception of Switzerland) it is sold under the name Vicks VapoRub.[1]
Safe use of VapoRub[edit]
Since the VapoRub ointment is an oil-based medication, it should not be used under or inside the nose or inside the mouth, and it should not be swallowed. Any oil-based product can get into the lungs if used improperly.[2]
In pre-clinical animal studies, the application of Vicks VapoRub directly on the trachea of ferrets caused an increase in mucus production compared to a water-based lubricant.[3] However, since the authors used a water-based and not oil-based compound as a control, it is not possible to ascertain which component of Vicks VapoRub caused the increased mucus production. Because Vicks VapoRub was also directly applied to the ferret trachea, it is also difficult to extrapolate the results from this study to comment on possible irritation arising from the safe use of Vicks VapoRub in humans.
Lunsford Richardson developed the formula in 1894[4] when he created a salve for his children, after traveling to France.
A Penn State study showed Vicks VapoRub to be effective for helping cough and congestion, and helping children and even adults sleep.[5] Vicks VapoRub is an effective cough medicine for guinea pigs.[6] Vicks VapoRub has been used as an effective onychomycosis (nail's fungal infection) treatment.[7]

Steven Spielberg Had Megan Fox Fired from Transformers, Says Michael Bay
Originally posted 06/20/2011 06:40PM
In the run-up to shooting Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Megan Fox told a British magazine that director Michael Bay "wants to be like Hitler on his sets" and that he's "a nightmare to work for."
A few months later, she got her walking papers. But it wasn't Bay who made the call, the director says.
"She was in a different world, on her BlackBerry. You gotta stay focused," Bay tells the July issue of GQ, on newsstands Tuesday. "And you know, the Hitler thing. Steven said, 'Fire her right now.' "
Corey Feldman: A Goonies Sequel Is Possible

It's been 25 years since Mikey, Mouth and the rest of The Goonies gang went on the ultimate onscreen treasure hunt, but the adventure may continue – in the form of a sequel.
Corey Feldman, who starred in the 1985 Warner Bros. box-office hit as Mouth, says that the original cast and crew, including executive producer and story writer Steven Spielberg, want to reunite on the big screen for part two.
"We [would] all like to see it happen," Feldman, 39, told the Hollywood Reporter, also admitting there are "stumbling blocks … no matter how much love there is."
Daniel Craig Aims to Take on Tintin

He may routinely save the world as James Bond, but Daniel Craig is stepping into his bad-guy uniform, to play the evil seaman Red Rackham in the upcoming Steven Spielberg screen adaptation of The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn.
The movie – in which Craig's Defiance costar Jamie Bell (best known as Billy Elliot in the 2000 film of the same name) plays the fearless young reporter Tintin – is already in production, in 3-D, say reports.
Due for release in 2011, this Tintin is expected to be the first in a screen trilogy. Lord of the Rings Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson is set to direct the sequel.

Mary J. Blige, Melissa Etheridge Help Fight Prop 8
Originally posted 10/23/2008 10:00AM
While uncharacteristically mum about its choice for president, Hollywood's been highly vocal about another political issue – giving a loud "No" to Proposition 8.
And if those sentiments weren't clear enough, the concert by Melissa Etheridge and Mary J. Blige Tuesday night to fight Prop 8 raised $3.9 million.
The $1,000-a-head event was intended to help close the gap between the No on Prop 8 supporters, who have raised about $25 million, and the Yes on Prop 8 boosters, who have $27 million in their coffers, reports Variety.
Steven Spielberg Donates $100,000 to Support Gay Marriage
Originally posted 09/23/2008 01:15PM
Steven Spielberg is the latest high-profile donor giving money to fight California's Proposition 8, the ballot initiative that would ban gay marriage in the state.
The director and his wife, Kate Capshaw, donated $100,000 to the No-on-8 campaign, the couple announced Tuesday.
"By writing discrimination into our state constitution, Proposition 8 seeks to eliminate the right of each and every citizen in our state to marry regardless of sexual orientation. Such discrimination has NO place in California's constitution, or any other," the couple said in a statement.
Brad Pitt gave the same amount last week to Californians Against Eliminating Basic Rights. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sen. Barack Obama are also on record against Proposition 8.
Since gay marriage became legal in California in May, many couples have already wed, including high profile stars like Ellen DeGeneres and Star Trek's George Takei.

Steven Spielberg's Stand Draws Fire in China
Originally posted 02/20/2008 09:50AM
Steven Spielberg's decision to withdraw from his position as an artistic director for this summer's Beijing Olympics over the country's policies in Darfur is drawing fire from China's state-controlled media and its public, reports the Associated Press.
While the Chinese government has not officially criticized the filmmaker, a front-page editorial Wednesday in the overseas edition of the People's Daily, the Communist Party's newspaper, says: "A certain Western director was very naive and made an unreasonable move toward the issue of the Beijing Olympics. This is perhaps because of his unique Hollywood characteristics."
Equally damning, China Youth Daily also editorialized: "This renowned film director is famous for his science fiction. But now it seems he lives in a world of science fiction and he can't distinguish a dream from reality."
There has not been a comment from Spielberg, 61, on these latest developments.
The Darfur conflict between rebels and militias backed by government forces has already claimed more than 200,000 people. China's influence is believed to extend to Sudanese leaders.

Steven Spielberg to be Honored at Golden Globes – Next Year

Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg will have to wait till January 2009 to pick up his latest honor.
Spielberg, 61, was set to receive the Cecil B. DeMille award at the Golden Globe Awards Jan. 13, but in the wake of the ceremony's cancellation due to the Writers Guild of America strike, the Hollywood Foreign Press decided Tuesday that it would present the trophy to Spielberg at next year's event rather than during the abbreviated press conference NBC will broadcast on Sunday, Variety reports.
Spielberg already has 11 Golden Globe nominations and two awards – for directing Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List.

Suspected Drunk Driver Arrested in Kettering, Patrols Saturate Miami Valley
CENTERVILLE -- Frickers, like many restaurants and bars Friday night, is packed for the Super Bowl.
And while there's good times and celebrations during the game, police say they were out in force to make sure no one drives impaired.
Kettering Police Department is one of 20 law enforcement agencies in the area that had extra patrols on the roads during and after the game, because some drinkers think they can get behind the wheel and safely make it home.
"A strong portion of those people believe that they are OK to drive, they don't believe they are intoxicated," says Kettering Police Lt. William Karolyi. "I don't know if they think their body can overcome the effects of alcohol and they think they can go out and drive normally but studies prove that people may think that, but in essence the alcohol does impair them and it does make them make poor decisions and that, unfortunately, leads to some of the accidents we have."
"We want everyone to have a good time tonight, but we don't want anyone to leave here and get into any sort of accident. So we want people to be responsible with their drinking and with our serving," said Bryan Cunningham, who managers Fricker's.
He says they take their liquor license seriously; they have to.
"We take their training seriously. Just because for legal reasons not just for the safety of our customers, but to protect our business," said Cunningham.
It's that attitude that helps police out a lot. Kettering Police Lt. William Karolyi is one of two officers working overtime this Super Bowl Sunday looking for impaired drivers.
"Our goal would be going all night without making the OVI arrest," Karolyi said.
But shortly after 9 p.m., police had their first suspected OVI. A driver told police he had just left a Super Bowl party and drank three to four beers. But what is more alarming: police say he is taking a prescription for OxyContin. It is something police are seeing a lot of lately.
"It may be only an .06 due to alcohol but that narcotic they're putting into their system, the combination of them could lead to the impairment," explained Lt. Karolyi.
The man failed the field sobriety test, then refused to take the blood alcohol level test, which got him a trip to jail. And just by refusing, the state suspends his license for a year -- guilty or not. Police say the extra patrols help prevent tragedies they so often see linked with alcohol.
"It goes much further than that person being selfish and getting behind the wheel. I mean it affects family, friends, it's very long lasting," Lt. Karolyi said.
The Montgomery County OVI Task Force is made up of about 20 agencies throughout the Miami Valley. The overtime for the extra patrols was paid for by a federal grant.

About En Agape Christian Fellowship
Pastor Harold Dewberry was invited by the elders of the King of Glory Lutheran Church to take the oversight of the church as Pastor and establish a foundation for his worldwide ministry, known as Dewberry Ministries International. In May 1980 he became a Pastor and with only a handful of members the church grew quickly.
In 1982, in agreement with the Lutheran Synod, the church transferred ownership and was legally registered as En Agape Christian Fellowship. Dewberry Ministries International and the church joined together to form a unique ministry which offered ministry training, counseling, social and emotional support groups, and live-in healing homes. A phenomenal number of students representing fifteen nations passed through the training school from 1982 through 2005 during the time when the healing homes were active.
The church was also located on A
En Agape Christian Fellowship is now located in Rancho Cucamonga and has faithful members who love and support each other through everything. Pastor Harold is the Senior Pastor and by his side is his wife Pastor Eleanora Dewberry, who sings on the worship team, founded the monthly women's meeting, and also ministers to the youth on Sunday. If both of them go on an international trip their son Pastor Anthony Dewberry leads services at church.
We encourage anyone interested to please join us on a Sunday to enjoy worship, fellowship, and an anointed word from Pastor Harold Dewberry and be Blessed!

Staff Recruitment – Beyond the Resume
What we really want is someone who can get to know kids by name within the first hour, and will actually participate 100 percent with the campers' activities. For a camp counselor's job, you should be able to come up with six to ten factors like that to describe the outcomes you need — things like planning activities, supporting their peers in stressful times, and helping kids learn self discipline. When you know what you're looking for, it's easier to guide the discussion of the candidate's past experiences to see if they are or aren't compatible with what a successful candidate would look like.
In using Adler's POWER Hiring techniques, I had to look hard at my own shortcomings. Every January I'd require candidates to fill out a four-page application with lots of long essay questions.
I'd do interviews at colleges, but be afraid to offer contracts until I'd interviewed everybody, for fear of missing an even better candidate.
By the time I'd made my choices, the best ones had often accepted other jobs. By June I was out of options and would frantically call all the returning staff and ask them to make recommendations. And miraculously I'd barely find the staff I needed by the day camp started.
I'd long ago learned that most of our new campers came from referrals by satisfied parents. It turns out the same thing works with employees.
We just moved the calendar back and started asking our counselors for referrals months earlier. It's much more effective to recruit a dozen staff from one university than one each from 12 colleges. Your best staff knows who they want to work with.
I learned to ask board members, parents, and even the members of my church for their suggestions, and actively recruited their top recommendations. And by using a rating system based on the job performance factors, I became confident in hiring a capable candidate as soon as I found them.
But I was still losing good candidates to other camps because my application form was so long that those applying by the Internet would opt for camps with a less onerous process. It turns out we could scale the application back to a single page. (The "long form" that our HR department requires could wait until we'd offered them the job.)
Although a standard interview is an hour long, most people will eliminate some candidates they don't like in the first minute or two. You overcome that by committee, giving the candidates you've chosen for interviews at least 30 minutes before you let yourself eliminate them.
By focusing on learning about each candidate through their accomplishments, you keep your unsupported preferences in check. You'll discover counselors that you would have passed over previously that have the character and experiences that predict their success.
The most exciting result is that Adler has found the performance-based interview techniques are just as effective on the phone as they are in person. It seems that what benefit there is from "interpreting body language" is normally negated by inappropriate first impressions of other candidates. What a relief in this age in our increasing dependence on the Internet.
Finally, some of you may be asking, "What if a candidate doesn't have any experiences that they can talk about?" I can assure you that the best candidates have accomplishments that prove they can do the job. Without them, why would you hire them? Gut feeling?

Water vapor fireplace boasts amazing fake flames and smoke
Most gas fireplaces can't exactly trick you into thinking that you into thinking that you've got a roaring real wood fire, but going by the video, it looks like this very cool model using water vapor and LEDs does an amazingly convincing job.
The Zen Fireplace from GlammFire doesn't generate any smoke or heat, so you won't get busted if you want a little ambiance and your town has banned real fireplaces to preserve air quality. Okay, so you don't get the cozy warmth of an actual fireplace, but I guess you could just crank up the heat.

Very large private room. Big bed. Hotel was a little noisy though. Stone staircase echoed throughout the building

I can not recommend this place enough. Staff was friendly and VERY helpful (especially Ann). They go above and beyond what is expected, for example, I arrived on my birthday and they went and bought me a cake and threw me a birthday party! It was an awesome experience and a very nice welcome to Vietnam! I will be a return customer! -Geoff

Police: man strangled girlfriend, refused to let her, kids, leave
Credit: (Photo Courtesy of Utica Police Department)
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - Utica Police have charged a man after they say he tried to strangle his girlfriend, then prevent her and her children from leaving the scene. According to authorities, the woman was sleeping in the early morning hours of Wednesday when her boyfriend, Alonzo Thomas, 33, of Utica began yelling at her, grabbing her by the throat and started to strangle her. She told police that she was able to break free but that Thomas continued to follow her and punched her in the head. Police say she attempted to flee the home with her six year old and seven year old children but that Thomas blocked the door. Eventually able to flee, she then called police. During the incident, police said Thomas is alleged to have taken the woman's cell phone and broke it. Thomas has been charged with criminal obstruction of breathing, criminal mischief, endangering the welfare of a child and harassment.

Sprint hierarchy could be established this week as the United States and Jamaica hold their trials for the athletics World Championships scheduled for Moscow August 10-18.
Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin spearhead the US challenge to six-time Olympic gold medallist and double world record-holder Usain Bolt and his fellow Jamaican speedsters, including reigning 100m world champion Yohan Blake.
Walter Dix, second to Blake in the 100m and to Bolt in the 200m at the 2011 worlds in Daegu, South Korea, is also in the mix at the US championships that start on Thursday at Drake University, longtime home of the Drake Relays athletics meeting.
The men's 100m finals will be held on the same day – Friday – at both the US and Jamaican trials, which run Thursday through Sunday in Kingston.
The Jamaican meeting has been clouded by a potential doping scandal surrounding two-time Olympic gold medallist and current 200m world champion Veronica Campbell-Brown, who has accepted a provisional suspension while her case is being investigated.
Blake, who receives a 100m wild-card into the worlds offered to reigning champions by the IAAF, on Tueday withdrew from the trials, his manager citing coach Glen Mills's concern over his fitness due to a right thigh injury.
Bolt, disqualified from the 100m at Daegu because of a false start, must earn his World Championships berth in that event.
"I'll go to the trials to try to win, but it's all about the qualification," Bolt said after setting a meet record of 19.79 in winning the 200m at Oslo on Friday.
The victory came after a rare 100m defeat by Gatlin in Rome on June 6, although Bolt was unconcerned after the loss.
"It's all about the World Championships," he said. "I've got two months to get it right.
"You learn more from losing. You can't win every race in your career, I've learned that ... I'm not worried."
The 31-year-old Gatlin, for his part, was aware that he may have merely wakened a slumbering giant.
Bolt saves his best for the biggest stages and comes back strong from defeat. Last year Blake beat him in the 100m and 200m at the Jamaican Olympic trials, but couldn't repeat the feat at the London Games.
"I just want to be able to give him some competition when he's at top form," Gatlin said. "He's a legend and I want to go out and just fight for the end. Much respect."
Gay and Gatlin – who has served a drugs ban since winning Olympic 100m gold in 2004 – come into the pivotal trials week with the fastest 100m times in the world this year, Gay with a 9.86sec posted at Kingston on May 4 and Gatlin with a 9.91 delivered in Beijing on May 21.
Gay also boasts a wind-aided 19.79sec 200m this season, and after years of injuries is healthy and eyeing a multiple medal challenge in Moscow.
Gay won 100m, 200m and 4x100m gold at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, but a hamstring injury derailed his 2008 Olympic campaign and 2011 hip surgery to resolve several chronic problems saw him sidelined for almost a year.
To preserve his fitness, the 30-year-old veteran has run fewer races in 2013 and expected to arrive in Des Moines at full strength for the demanding challenge of the US trials, where the top three finishers in each event can book World Championship team places.
"I feel like it's going to be one of Tyson Gay's best years," former Olympian Ato Boldon, now a television commentator, said this month.

Martin Short makes them laugh
To Martin Short, comedy is more of an art than a science. But comedy's proper execution sometime carries with it all the rigors of scientific enterprise, at least for the performer engaged in the pratfall. To do comedy well, you have to have a natural talent and ability," says the Canadian-born Short, 58, in a recent interview. "But the execution has to be precise, which means it probably has elements of both art and science." Short will test his thesis for Milwaukee fans when he brings his act to the Pabst Theater. Unlike other comedy acts, however, Short will be sharing the stage with a band, the stand-up portion comprising just part of the evening. "It's like a party with Marty," Short says. "I sing, I dance, I do characters. I'll probably bring three guys up on stage. . .

Writing in the Washington Post, Allan Sloan singles out Social Security personal accounts as a policy "turkey." Both reasons Sloan gives, however, turn out to be wrong. It's a shame, since Sloan is a bright guy and his main point—that government's role is to provide a basic income to keep people out of poverty in retirement, not to run an investment or wealth building program—is a legitimate one. But if you present evidence to support your argument, there's an obligation to make sure you get your facts right, and he doesn't.
Sloan's argument is based on market risk: in short, he says, due to several large market declines in recent years, had we passed Social Security personal accounts as proposed by President Bush in 2005, many retirees today would be hurting. Sloan cites two reasons. First, he argues that falling stock prices would have hit their accounts at just the wrong time. Second and less obviously, he suggests that individuals retiring today would need to annuitize their accounts—that is, convert their lump sums into a monthly lifetime income—at a time when interest rates are very low. Low interest rates translate into a small annuity payment.
Both points make sense, until you actually start picking at the details of the Social Security reform plan Sloan is criticizing. The reason I raise this objection isn't because I believe anyone will try to pass President Bush's reform plan anytime soon—I'm on record saying a different tack is preferable—but because criticisms like Sloan's portray the designers of Bush's plan (among whom I played a very minor role) as not very competent. That would be unfair.
Regarding Sloan's first charge, back in 2008 I wrote a paper for AEI that expressly examined the market risk issue, prompted by President Obama's question, "Imagine if you had some of your Social Security money in the stock market right now. How would you be feeling about the prospects for your retirement?" The answer from my paper was:
…despite the recent market downturn, individuals investing four percentage points of the 12.4 percent payroll tax in a personal account holding a "life-cycle" portfolio and retiring today would have increased their total Social Security benefits by more than 15 percent. Moreover, a simulation of ninety-five cohorts of individuals retiring from 1915 through 2008 found that all of them would have increased their total Social Security benefits by holding personal accounts.
The reasons for this are twofold: first, individuals would be invested over a long period including both bull and bear markets, so the end result is what matters; and second, under Bush's plan, individuals nearing retirement would automatically have their accounts shifted from stocks to bonds. So while account holders would have lost money during recent market downturns, near retirees would have been largely protected from these losses.
Sloan's second point is subtler, but it's also one I addressed explicitly in my 2008 AEI paper. Sloan is right that low interest rates at the time you retire would mean a smaller annuity payment from your personal account. But it is possible to completely and costlessly protect account holders against this risk. The reason is that individuals who choose to hold an account receive a reduced traditional benefit, and this reduction is based upon the annuitized value of the individual's account contributions. In other words, account holders retiring at a time of low interest rates would receive a smaller benefit reduction than those who retired when interest rates were high. Therefore, account holders could be perfectly hedged against interest rate risk at the time of retirement.
I like Sloan and on policy I agree with him more than I disagree. But when you're going out on a limb by singling out a given policy as a "turkey," you really need to check on the evidence that's backing your claim. In this case, it's pretty shaky.

1.What inspired your passion for music and who has been there supporting you from the beginning?
I come from a big, supportive family. Music became like my family when I went away to college. Between classes, club meetings, and basketball practices I wrote songs to keep my balance. The lyrics and notes became like relatives to me. Just like my family, music reassured me that it's OK and absolutely necessary to be authentic – that my perspective and voice have value.
2. How do you feel about people downloading music rather then buying physical copies?
If every fan downloaded my music rather than buying physical CDs, I would save on manufacturing costs. I would also lose precious moments after gigs, getting to know fans while signing the CDs they purchase, hearing stories about the first time they heard one of my songs, etc. This kind of instant bonding goes a long way; it's like imprinting, that genius thing birds do with their hatchlings. Google it. It's fascinating. Imprinting.
3.How do you feel about the music industry today?
The internet continues to outsmart the industry. It creates Pop stars without warning. From where I sit, the music industry is the Wild Wild West. People seem to have a genuine interest in discovering artists overlooked by traditional media outlets, and they share the artists' work fervently. This excites me as I am sort of a music industry novice and an independent artist at that. Music is fun again. I love the resurgence of the dance ethos.
4.Where do you see yourself five years from now?
I see myself as a household name – Coke, Streisand, Google, Malachi.
5. Do you think singer/songwriters are the best interpreters of their own work or do you believe some cover versions can be better than the original?
I anticipate that most artists cover songs because they appreciate the music. It holds some weight in their mind and heart. I sing covers often. This is a tradition strongly upheld in Jazz. I come from a Jazz background where playing covers is more about the reinterpretation of songs than their improvement. How can one improve "Misty" or "Lush Life"? What's the value in that?
6.Who have you always dreamt of working with and why? How would you go about accomplishing this?
Barbra Streisand tops my list. She represents what I want for myself and for every person who listens to my music – self actualization. Sometimes, I imagine that she is in the audience watching me perform. Imagining that she's there helps me step up my game by reminding me to listen, to direct myself, and to eliminate thoughts of boundaries. How do I go about working with her? Maybe I'll bump into her at a Recording Academy function, politely thank her for her work, and if I have something of value to offer, I'll bring it up. If that doesn't work, I'll write a letter to Oprah. She knows everyone.
7.As you are starting out your career in the music industry what steps do you plan on taking to reach your goal?
I keep my ears, mind, and heart open. That's the first order of business. After that, collaborating with the right creative partners, aligning my music with organizations of scale that are dedicated to addressing the human condition, and delivering on a sustainable economic model will serve me well.
8.Have you found that as you are starting out your career in the music industry there are aspects that have taken you completely by surprise. If so, what are they?
I love the unexpected opportunities. Someone just thinks of me or something I've done, then they ask me to perform for them or join their cause. That's a blessing. I often find that it means my music resonated with them and they want to replicate the experience for someone else.
9. What is the greatest thing about working in the music industry? And what would you change if you had the opportunity?
The music industry is fast-paced and always changing. It's the ideal work environment for me. I often wish that I had more time for my family.
10.If you could have asked anyone for advice when you were starting out. Who would you have liked to ask? What would you have liked to ask? What would be your answer now?
Then, I would have loved to ask Bjork to introduce me to her stylist. Now, I want Michelle Obama to introduce me to her physical trainer. Have you seen her arms? A-MA-ZIN-G!
11.From your experience in the entertainment industry what advice could you offer people looking to get where you are today?
Know God. Some people say Creative Intelligence, Providence, etc. Whatever name you use for your higher power, know it and call on it often. It will direct your creative energy.
Carve your own path with your destination clearly in mind. Know your strengths. Travel with people who are smarter than you in your areas of greatest opportunity. Join forces with folks who will have your back. Know that where I am is just a point on my unique path. I am on my own journey to a different destination. Be confident in your unique path.
Explore your varied interests. If you go are intrigued by the lights at a concert, find the light technician and ask them a couple questions. People love to talk about their work, especially the people who the spotlight overlooks. You may learn something that will change the trajectory of your life.
Find a way for your art to serve a greater good.
Be kind to people. Be kind to people. Be kind to people….Did I say, 'be kind to people'?
12. What courses/classes would you recommend someone take if they want to be a professional in the music industry?
Education is key. Take lots of courses in communications, business management and strategy. You need to go outside and play in the dirt too. Scrape your knees up a bit. Hard knocks that come from experience will toughen you for your journey.
13.How many years were you fighting to get to where you are today and what was that time in your life like?
Before answering this question, I thought alot about some of my contemporaries who have been in the music industry for twenty years or so. I started singing in 2005 as a junior in college. At that time, I was just a student exploring a newfound interest in making music to go with the lyrics and poetry in my journal.
14.From your experience so far, what have you found to be most challenging? And how are you dealing with it?
Being away from my family has been the greatest challenge. I spend most of my time working. I am learning to balance home life with the pace of the industry. This lesson is difficult, but I am learning.
15.Share with us your proudest moment in your career so far?
My dad called me on the day I received the GRAMMY nomination. He said, "I'm proud of you…but you know what else I'm going to say." I said, "Yep…'Carolyn, you're only as good as your last accomplishment.'" Knowing that my family believes in me and expects me to continue my pursuit of excellence encourages me. Fruitful belonging, knowledge of self and personal accountability give me a charge.

RELEASED: Sept. 12, 2008
EAU CLAIRE — University of Wisconsin system students, faculty and staff are being offered a special discount for a performance by Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester at the Overture Center for the Arts in Madison. The performance will begin at 8 p.m. Oct. 3.
The UW-Madison German department is encouraging faculty and students of the German language and culture throughout the UW System to take advantage of the offer.
Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester are popular in Europe and have enjoyed great success on both U.S. coasts at large venues. The group captures the cosmopolitan feel of German cabaret in the 1920s and 1930s with precision, urgency and irony. Raabe, a baritone with an impressive vocal range, sparkles with a slick and witty delivery, and his 12-piece ensemble provides just the right backdrop.
"In the grand style of performers from Germany's Weimar Republic, Max Raabe and his Palast Ochestra like to party like it's 1929," wrote the New York Times.
Tickets range from $25 to $49. UW students, faculty and staff will receive $10 off all seating areas. Tickets are available at the Overture Center ticket office, by phone (608-258-4141) or online.

TS Aleph Implementation Group Meeting
August 9, 2007
Aleph upgrade (status, issues)
- Rich reported on some problems encountered after upgrade to Aleph Version 18. These problems have been reported to FCLA and they are being worked on.
- Users have not been able to use the FCLA website, http://www.fcla.edu using Aleph username and password. Users can use their NOTIS username/password combination if they have them.
- Miscellaneous problems to see how Z39.50 server is communicating with bibliographic management programs such as Endnote or RefWorks.
Rich is the FCLA liaison for Circulation.
Jason is the liaison for Acquisitions.
Betsy is the liaison for Cataloging.
Concluding the Aleph problems topic, Rich noted that everyone who is not able to perform a task in Aleph should try to capture error messages they get. This helps a lot when reporting problems. And yes, give examples of cases when one gets no error messages at all.
Endeca progress
Rich reported to the group the latest development in Endeca.
- Endeca is scheduled to go live August 20th but it may happen earlier.
- Patron empowerment ability is working in testing that Matthew is doing; however, more testing is needed to assure 100% confidence.
- Endeca is intended to be our primary OPAC but Aleph OPAC will still be used for searching. Both Endeca and Aleph OPAC will be active and there will be links in both catalogs linking these catalogs to each other.
- Based on FCLA news, updates to Endeca are now occurring twice a week. It is the final goal to have these updates occurring nightly. Aleph OPAC is the only place right now to check the latest records added in the catalog, including new records and new copies.
- Problem: there are about 500 links in the catalog that need to be changed when switching from Aleph OPAC to Endeca. Rich has created a PURL, a Persistent Uniform Resource Locator, for the catalog. It is easier to make changes in PURL than it is to change them individually. This PURL, http://purl.fcla.edu/uf/lib/catalog currently points to Aleph OPAC, but it will point to Endeca after the switch.
- Michele will check with LeiLani to find out if it's OK to use PURL.
- It is not clear how the Browser function in the Cataloging module will work in Endeca.
- Endeca has the capability to keep title changes together. Naomi added that this is a great feature in Endeca because it is important to have serials that have gone through title changes display in a group.
- Endeca problems lists have been created and problems are being reported using RT, a trouble ticket system. Rich can add more UF users to the Endeca list and everyone can report problems there. In order to keep LeiLani's group in the loop, when sending e-mails to the RT, include Leilani as the secondary on the primary recipient (not on the cc). Rich, LeiLani, Matthew, and Jason are the Endeca coordinators.
- Public Services would like to start teaching Endeca starting in fall.
LTQF – DLU01 (update re. CAGER discussions)
Naomi reported that FCLA wants to include PALMM and DigiTool. First load of records into DLU01 is already done. More needs to be done, though, to see how the PALMM collection will fit into the catalog. When everything is done, there will be two clients for technical side of the catalog - PALMM and OPAC and only one for the public OPAC.
Authorities (indexing, decisions)
Priscilla reported that the Technical Services Planning Committee (TSPC) of the State University Libraries (SUL) assigned the task of headings indexing review in v.18, both in the authorities and bibliographic libraries, to the SUL Authorities Subcommittee. We were provided spreadsheets containing the indexes in use in 15.5 and proposed indexes for v.18. This helped the SUL to come to a consensus on what the indexing should be in v.18. We're looking at not having as many headings indexes so that indexing is faster than it is now in Aleph.
Indexing review for the authorities libraries is complete. We're currently working on the bib indexes. This work needs to be in place before the first library's bibs are reindexed. FCLA is working on allowing us to do some searching in DEV18 to test the proposed indexing.
Jan reminded the group of the one-day Celebration of our 100th year as a Federal Depository Library that will be held on August 17th, in Room 1A of Smathers Library. She gave a brief summary of the activities that will take place. A full agenda was e-mailed to all library staff on June 29th.
Recorder: Raimonda Margjoni
The next TS Aleph Implementation Group meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 13, 10:00-11:30am, Library East Conference Room.

Florida Med. Ass'n v. Dep't of Health, Education & Welfare, Case No. 3:78-cv-178-J-34MCR, 2011 BL 248497 (M.D. Fla. Sept. 26, 2011) In 2007, Jennifer Alley, the owner of Real Time Medical Data, L.L.C. (RTMD), sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to compel HHS to disclose Medicare claims data which included identifying information about individual providers. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama ordered HHS to disclose the claims data but the Eleventh Circuit reversed, based on an injunction issued in 1979 that permanently enjoined HHS from disclosing annual Medicare reimbursement amounts in any manner that would permit the individual idenfitication of Medicare providers. In 2010, Dow Jones & Company, Inc., which was also seeking access to claims data, entered into a settlement agreement with HHS in which HHS agreed to provide Dow Jones with limited access to claims data. In 2011, Dow Jones filed a motion to reopen Florida Med. Ass'n v. Dep't of Health, Education & Welfare, 479 F. Supp. 1291 (M.D. Fla. 1979), and a motion to intervene in that case in order to vacate the injunction. Dow Jones also sought to file cross-claims and counter claims against HHS. Also in 2011, Alley and RTMD filed a motion to intervene in the 1979 case in order to vacate the Injunction. Alley and RTMD also sought to file cross-claims and counter claims against HHS. The court granted Dow Jones's motion to reopen the 1979 case and granted the motions to intervene made by Dow Jones, Alley, and RTMD. The court denied the cross-claims and counter-claims made by Dow Jones, Alley, and RTMD after holding that the only appropriate procedural vehicle for seeking vacatur of the Injunction was a motion for relief from a final judgment.

My Article
Vision of my life is, I want to be a "change Maker" for my community. In my community, I want to see every one has equal rights to live and enjoy the freedom. I want to see every one has own space to share, to choose, and to decide for their lives. I want to change the customs, and all those rituals that undermine women's and girls rights. My struggle want to change all those cultural practices are create inequality and discrimination among women and men and whole society. Such as: unequal resources and unequal power distribution. I want change the thinking among my communities that honor is not to kill women or men, but honor is to save the humanity and create peace.
When I was child I was living in village many times in a year; and, I felt like I'm going to play in wonderland. My all friends were very much loving and caring to me. We were playing and chat all day long and never get tired. It was so much fun. Then, my parents moved to city because in village there was not school girls high school. My parents want me to get more education. I lost my friends. All my girls friends were smart and intelligent. However, their parents can not afford their education or move to other cities. It was not easy for poor people to continue children education within limited resources. So, many of my girls friends could not get chance to continue education. One of very best friend Rehana she got married when she was 16 years old. Now she has 6 children, and her health is always not good. She is getting old before her age. I have many examples like Rehana. Many girls get marry in their innocent age. They do not see their childhood age. They can not refuse against parents will. I want to change my community's culture girls early marriages, so many girls like my best friend Rehanna should not suffer health problems in so early age and could not enjoy their childhood. I want to demand girls' full security. Because, if some parents to take courage to send girls to school there is no security on the road
I want be voice of my girls my community. Because, I am from them and I have experiences all structural discrimination social and gender inequality. I want be strong voice for all women, girls. I want to establish a women and girls empowerment platform of action, where we all can raise voice for girls' education, health, and equal rights and equal distribution of resources. Today, through World Plus I want make commitment and dedicate my time, energy and my voice for all girls. So, they won't get through like Rehana, and for all women so they won't kill like my friends mother under the name of honor. I want to announce that I am establishing the Platform of Women Empowerment (WE). I want support from all of you to support my voice, support of struggle. So, no body take courage to kill women under the name of honor, and save girls before they our customs and culture destroy them.
I want to change the thinking of those parents who think that girls don't have right to get education; they think girls have not freedom to choose the life, they can not be part of family decision. I want to aware my community that every one has right to live with full of freedom. I want to see all mothers educated who can understand the problems of their daughters either they repeat what they suffer in their own life
Excellent! I love your vision
Excellent! I love your vision as stated. The society must learn and understand that girls are GIRLS and not BRIDES! Been waiting for someone to tackle this issue of girl bride since and I'm glad you showed up! Why should anyone deny girls their right to a youthful life by making them brides, risking their lives and putting on them adult responsiblities? Please echo it on the rooftops, girls are GIRLS and not BRIDES!!!
All the best in the selection process marvi!
your voice is so strong! may it be heard....
Dear Marvi Maznani,
You clear and impassioned writing really pulled at my heartstrings! I can feel your passion, desire and dedication to improve the lives of girls and women. I also applaud you for taking the initiative to establish the Platform of Women Empowerment.

I am so glad you have found World Pulse and hope it will be a springboard for you in achieving your dreams. All luck to you!

WASHINGTON, April 17, 2013 — A former U.S. Army lieutenant was attending a post-race party on the third floor of a building close to the finish line of Boston Marathon at the time of the explosions. In an exclusive conversation with the Washington Times Communities, Bruce Mendelsohn said that "the concussion blast blew me off my chair," and the smoke from the explosion "smelled like gun powder or cordite".
"I'm not a forensics guy" says Mendelsohn, who stated that he separated from the military in 1993 after serving in Germany and along South Korea's DMZ. However, he says that the white smoke he saw and odors smelled following the explosion in Boston were identical to that from gunpowder or cordite "that we used all the time on the range."
"The blast was near LensCrafters" says Mendelsohn, who was attending a post-race party next door at Marlo Communication/Marketing, 667 Boylston Street, where tattered "Marlo" banners where still hanging off the building after the explosion.
Cordite is a low explosive in use since the 19th century. "Thankfully the windows were open" says Mendelsohn, explaining that if the third floor windows had been closed that the glass would have likely turned into shrapnel.
Mendelsohn, who is originally from the Washington D.C. area and is now the Director of Communications and Outreach at M.I.T.'s Gordon Engineering Leadership Program, was a spectator at the race, where his younger brother had finished the marathon in under three hours.
Mendelsohn says he had earlier seen "lots of security on the V.I.P. side," but not on the spectator side.
SEE RELATED: Which terrorists were behind the Boston Marathon bombings?
NBC News is reporting that the University of Mobile's Cross Country Coach Ali Stevenson saw "law enforcement spotters on the roofs" at the start of the race, bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines, and that "they kept making announcements to the participants do not worry, it's just a training exercise."
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis said "a large number of officers were patrolling the area near the finish line, and explosives teams patrolled it twice."
News breaking from the blast site is that authorities have recovered the lid of the pressure cooker that held one of the bombs. Speculation is that one of the bombs, filled with nails, ball bearings, and metal pieces was left along the curb where spectators stood.
In other news which may or may not be related to the Boston explosions, an envelope addressed to Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss) seems to contain the substance ricin, an extremely potent poison.
"Preliminary tests indicate the substance found was ricin," said the police statement, which was released late Tuesday night. "The material is being forwarded to an accredited laboratory for further analysis."

"Pleasantly Entertaining"
Absolutely, It was a fun read with an interesting Hero and Heroine.
I don't want to give anything away but it has to do with the inspector and his reasoning for getting so called justice on this family.
You will fall in love with Ian. He as autism and he continues to fight it for the women he loves is just beautiful.
"De'nesha Diamond knows how to right a good book"
I don't know, there where so many. But what I can say is that Lucifer and LaShelle are some boss divas.
Lashelle, she had the best lines of the book.
Bow Down Bi**h
Can't wait for King Divas. Love every minute of this book. Well worth the credit.
"The Young/Female Sherlock Holmes and Watson"
I would listen to Curties & Conspriaces a million times. This book has everything action suspense, humor. It's the perfect read.
Moria Quirk knows how to bring every character to life. Each person has there own personallity and voice and she bring s it accross to the reader.
The book made me laugh a lot. Gail Carriger has a brilliant sense of humor.
"Save the best for last?"
I don't know, I have not read the print edition.
I loved the way Rachel 's friends always rally around her. They love her and they are really family even though they are different species.
I have and they are all good. Marguerite Gavin knows how to perform and bring a book to life.
Rachel and the Mystics
I don't know if this is Rachel and Kim Harrison's last book, but if it is it ended with a bang. I hope it is not the last of Rachel, Jenks, Trent and Ivy. They have been a part of my life for so long. I'm not sure what it will be like without them.
"Too Much"
At least one redeeming character. Every last one of them was a hot mess.com including Karmisha, though she tired to be better.
Oh I don't know, the rape scenes, bad rap lyrics or a man sleeping with so many women unprotected and not catching HIV which I think would be more realistic.
Not one.
I didn't even finsh this book because it was such a hard listen. The narrators voice is fine, but the story itself was just too miserable. Karmisha showed the most promise and I just wanted her to find a way out of harlem. And the idea that a child can inherit the devil qualities of his father without living in that enviorment is extremly questionable. In all I really hated this book.
"Guilty Pleasure"
Yes, it was like a really good African American version of Dallas.
Uncle Sug, a lot of gangsta there.
The Mom, she seems like a lot of funny after a few cocktails.
"Katiness Everdeen Rocks!!!"
I have read a lot of audiobooks and Catching Fire ranks in the top 10.
I think divergent comes close, but catching fire is better written.
No I have not listened to her other preformances
Catching Fire made me laugh, cry and everything in between.
Katiness is a very complicated person, but she lives in a complicated time. Which makes she the perfect symbol of rebillion. Catching Fire is her growth book and your feelings for her grow as well. In The Hunger games she was a child, in Catching Fire she is a force to reckon with and you can understand President Snow's fear of her and the change she symbolizes.
"Bad Girl Turned Good."
Rosalyn Landor has a way of make an men of the historical period as either arrogant or a dandy. It's really a great gift.
No sometimes I had to step away in the beginning becasue it was slow. By the 2nd half of the book it picks up nicely.
"This Family is About there Business!!!!"
10 out of 10, one of the best,
I have listened to other books from the narrator's, but this one was the best they really did there thing in this book.
Momma Knows Best, Becasue the Mom was all over this book and she wasn't backing down from anybody. Not even LC.
Carl Weber, I love this family and I can't wait for the next book. Thank you for helping get through work with your amazing books.
"I don't know whether to be happy or mad?"
Yes, overall it was a good story and will narrorated
Murderville is better, but this is okay.
Carter, Mecca, and Zyir killing Matee
Miamor, it was really nice to hear her back story.
Like my title says I don't know whether to be happy about the Cartel 3 or mad at the ending of the Cartel 2 . I feel like the story ended specifically so we can spend our money on the Cartel 3 to see how it really ends. While a smart move on the authors part, I still feel lied too.
"Over Narrated and Over Neccessary"
The narration was horrible, which is odd since I usually like Patricia R Floyd. Her male voices are horrible and she made Nick sound overbearing and stiff.
I would have cast Shari Peele. She did Love in Play and that was great.
It's like Zuri Day used these big extra words that I just thought was not needed to make a point or describe a scene. And Patricia Floyd made all the characters except Nan and Joy, come off conceited like Angelica.

The Valerians are a humanoid species who sell weapons and substances used to make weapons to the Cardassian Union.
During the Occupation of Bajor, the Valerians would supply the occupying forces on Bajor with weapons grade dolamide. Before arriving there, they would visit Fahleena III, Mariah IV and would have the dolamide purified at Ultima Thule.
In 2369, a Valerian ship docked at Deep Space 9. Kira Nerys wanted to turn them away, as she believed they were still carrying weapons for the Cardassians, although Benjamin Sisko told her she needed proof. After she was affected by the Saltah'na energy spheres, Kira attempted to board the Valerian ship. (DS9 episode: "Dramatis Personae")
In 2376, Morn regaled a Valerian and two Rigelians in Quark's with stories of his travels. (DS9 novel: Cathedral)

The Congressional Super Committee tasked with finding $1.5 trillion dollars worth of deficit reduction is racing against the clock. The committee has a deadline of November 23rd before automatic cuts are triggered. Our local Congressional Representative, Tom McClintock says and he believes the Super Committee is the wrong way to run government.
"The problem with the Super Committee is that it short circuits the constitutional separation of the two houses that is absolutely necessary for good decision making and worse, it sidelines 523 elected representatives of the American people while 12 hand picked representatives of the leadership meet behind closed doors. They make a deal and put it in the laps of the congress for a take it or leave it vote that can't be amended."
There is some speculation the Super Committee could pass a resolution that would move the November 23rd deadline back a few weeks indicating that they are not close to compromise on budget cuts

One Year Later: Consumers Not Benefitting from Durbin Price Control Regulation
At the first anniversary of the implementation of the Durbin amendment, an Electronic Payments Coalition study shows that the law's new interchange structure has not saved consumers any money, while retailers have pocketed an additional $8 billion.
EPC, which is made up of credit unions and community and regional banks, created a website – wheresmydebitdiscount.com – which highlights the study. EPC found that consumer prices have increased 1.5% since Durbin was implemented beginning on Oct. 1, 2011.
"In 2010, Congress handed retailers a gift with the Durbin amendment, a new regulation that put government price controls on debit interchange fees – what retailers pay to accept debit cards at the register," EPC's story says. "During testimony, retailers promised they would pass savings along in the form of lower prices to their customers."
To collect the data for the field research, EPC made 36 shopping trips at 18 stores nationwide. A consistent list of products was purchased during two separate shopping trips at each store and compared: one in the final week of September 2011 before implementation of the Durbin amendment and one in the final week of September 2012, one year after the implementation of the Durbin amendment. The research shows that 67% of the retailers visited across the country either raised prices or kept them the same.
After implementation, shoppers paid on average:
These higher prices for consumers come as retailers save billions and debit card issuers are forced to make up for lost revenue. Consumers are paying more for traditional banking products and services and not even getting any reduction at the register to help ease the pain.
EPC is hoping that card issuers such as credit unions will help spread the story and explain how the Durbin amendment has hurt consumers.
And just recently, BankRate.com published its annual Checking Survey which found that the costs of checking have risen dramatically, with some bank fees rising 25 percent or more. The survey finds that the rise in fees is, in part, a result of recent regulations limiting overdraft fees and capping the cost of debit card interchange fees.
MCUL & Affiliates CEO David Adams said the survey results were not a surprise.
"This survey proves what we we've said all along – that retailers would not pass along any interchange savings to their customers. Retailers are enjoying an $8 billion gift, complements of the Durbin amendment. We urge Congress to go back and reconsider this ill-conceived law."
Smaller card issuers, including all but four of the country's credit unions, are exempt from Durbin, but they have seen a decline in interchange income since the law was implemented. A study by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found smaller community banks and credit unions have seen interchange revenue decreases of 5% in the first three months following interchange fee cap implementation.
