I cannot count how many times I have seen this movie. I watched it last night again and got a whole new meaning.
I interpret it to be symbolic with the life of Jesus. John Coffy who is a simple, good person, is tragically accused of wrongdoing and has healing powers, reflecting Jesus. The men on the Green Mile, become his handful of believers, the diciples. Billy who betrayed John by not disclosing his crime, causing great suffering to John, equals Judas, and Percy, who taunts all, uses has worldly power influence to have his way, a cruel person and evil man, ends up in the mental institution, like Satan ending up in the abyss in Revelations before he is completely destroyed. I also find it interesting that the writer chose the name John for Coffy as John was inspired through Jehovah God to write the book of Revelations in the Bible!

|Drug Name:
|Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide
|Genpharm L.P.
|Other Info:
|GENPHARM INC.Etobicoke, ON, CanadaM8Z 2S6012-668-01July 2007
|Clinical Trials:
Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension.These fixed dose combinations are not indicated for initial therapy.
(See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.)In using Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide, consideration should be given to the fact that another angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, has caused agranulocytosis, particularly in patients with renal impairment or collagen-vascular disease.Available data are insufficient to show that fosinopril does not have a similar risk (see WARNINGS: Neutropenia/ Agranulocytosis).ACE inhibitors (for which adequate data are available) cause a higher rate of angioedema in black than in non-black patients (see WARNINGS: Head and Neck Angioedema and Intestinal Angioedema).
Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide tablets are contraindicated in patients who are anuric.
Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide is also contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to fosinopril, to any other ACE inhibitor, to hydrochlorothiazide, or other sulfonamide-derived drugs, or any other ingredient or component in the formulation.Hypersensitivity reactions are more likely to occur in patients with a history of allergy or bronchial asthma.
Anaphylactoid and Possibly Related ReactionsPresumably because angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors affect the metabolism of eicosanoids and polypeptides, including endogenous bradykinin, patients receiving ACE inhibitors (including Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide) may be subject to a variety of adverse reactions, some of them serious.Head and Neck Angioedema: Angioedema of the face, extremities, lips, tongue, glottis and larynx has been reported in patients treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
Angioedema associated with laryngeal edema can be fatal.
If laryngeal stridor or angioedema of the face, tongue, or glottis occurs, treatment with Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted immediately.
When involvement of the tongue, glottis, or larynx appears likely to cause airway obstruction, appropriate therapy, e.g., subcutaneous epinephrine injection 1:1000 (0.3-0.5 mL) should be promptly administered (see PRECAUTIONS and ADVERSE REACTIONS).Intestinal Angioedema: Intestinal angioedema has been reported in patients treated with ACE inhibitors.
These patients presented with abdominal pain (with or without nausea or vomiting); in some cases there was no prior history of facial angioedema and C-1 esterase levels were normal.
The angioedema was diagnosed by procedures including abdominal CT scan or ultrasound, or at surgery, and symptoms resolved after stopping the ACE inhibitor.
Intestinal angioedema should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients on ACE inhibitors presenting with abdominal pain.
Anaphylactoid Reactions During Desensitization: Two patients undergoing desensitizing treatment with hymenoptera venom while receiving ACE inhibitors sustained lifethreatening anaphylactoid reactions.
In the same patients, these reactions were avoided when ACE inhibitors were temporarily withheld, but they reappeared upon inadvertent rechallenge.Anaphylactoid Reactions During Membrane Exposure:Anaphylactoid reactions have been reported in patients dialyzed with high-flux membranes and treated concomitantly with an ACE inhibitor.
Anaphylactoid reactions have also been reported in patients undergoing low-density lipoprotein apheresis with dextran sulfate absorption.HypotensionFosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide can cause symptomatic hypotension.
Like other ACE inhibitors, fosinopril has been only rarely associated with hypotension in uncomplicated hypertensive patients.
Symptomatic hypotension is most likely to occur in patients who have been volume- and/or salt-depleted as a result of prolonged diuretic therapy, dietary salt restriction, dialysis, diarrhea, or vomiting.
Volume and/or salt depletion should be corrected before initiating therapy with Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide.Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide tablets should be used cautiously in patients receiving concomitant therapy with other antihypertensives.
The thiazide component of Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide may potentiate the action of other antihypertensive drugs, especially ganglionic or peripheral adrenergic-blocking drugs.
The antihypertensive effects of the thiazide component may also be enhanced in the postsympathectomy patient.
In patients with congestive heart failure, with or without associated renal insufficiency, ACE inhibitor therapy may cause excessive hypotension, which may be associated with oliguria, azotemia, and (rarely) with acute renal failure and death.
In such patients, Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide therapy should be started under close medical supervision; they should be followed closely for the first 2 weeks of treatment and whenever the dose of fosinopril or diuretic is increased.If hypotension occurs, the patient should be placed in a supine position, and, if necessary, treated with intravenous infusion of physiological saline.
Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide treatment usually can be continued following restoration of blood pressure and volume.Impaired Renal FunctionFosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide should be used with caution in patients with severe renal disease.
Thiazides may precipitate azotemia in such patients, and the effects of repeated dosing may be cumulative.When the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is inhibited by ACE inhibitors, changes in renal function may be anticipated in susceptible individuals.
In patients with severe congestive heart failure, whose renal function may depend on the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (including fosinopril) may be associated with oliguria and/or progressive azotemia and (rarely) with acute renal failure and/or death.In some studies of hypertensive patients with unilateral or bilateral renal artery stenosis, treatment with ACE inhibitors has been associated with increases in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine; these increases were reversible upon discontinuation of ACE inhibitor therapy, concomitant diuretic therapy, or both.
When such patients are treated with Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide, renal function should be monitored during the first few weeks of therapy.
Some ACE-inhibitor-treated hypertensive patients with no apparent preexisting renal vascular disease have developed increases in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine, usually minor and transient, especially when the ACE inhibitor has been given concomitantly with a diuretic.
Dosage reduction of Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide may be required.
Evaluation of the hypertensive patient should always include assessment of renal function (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).Neutropenia/AgranulocytosisAnother angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, has been shown to cause agranulocytosis and bone marrow depression, rarely in uncomplicated patients (incidence probably less than once per 10,000 exposures), but more frequently (incidence possibly as great as once per 1,000 exposures) in patients with renal impairment, especially those who also have a collagen-vascular disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus or scleroderma.
Available data from clinical trials of fosinopril are insufficient to show that fosinopril does not cause agranulocytosis at similar rates.
Monitoring of white blood cell counts should be considered in patients with collagen-vascular disease, especially it the disease is associated with impaired renal function.Neutropenia/agranulocytosis has also been associated with thiazide diuretics.Fetal/Neonatal Morbidity and MortalityACE inhibitors can cause fetal and neonatal morbidity and death when administered to pregnant women.
Several dozen cases have been reported in the world literature.
When pregnancy is detected, Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide should be discontinued as soon as possible.The use of ACE inhibitors during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy has been associated with fetal and neonatal injury, including hypotension, neonatal skull hypoplasia, anuria, reversible or irreversible renal failure, and death.
Oligohydramnios has also been reported, presumably resulting from decreased fetal renal function; oligohydramnios in this setting has been associated with fetal limb contractures, craniofacial deformation, and hypoplastic lung development.
Prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation, and patent ductus arteriosus have also been reported, although it is not clear whether these occurrences were due to the ACE-inhibitor exposure.These adverse effects do not appear to have resulted from intrauterine ACE-inhibitor exposure that has been limited to the first trimester.
Mothers whose embryos and fetuses are exposed to ACE inhibitors only during the first trimester should be so informed.
Nonetheless, when patients become pregnant, physicians should make every effort to discontinue the use of fosinopril as soon as possible.Rarely (probably less often than once in every thousand pregnancies), no alternative to ACE inhibitors will be found.
In these rare cases, the mothers should be apprised of the potential hazards to their fetuses, and serial ultrasound examinations should be performed to assess the intraamniotic environment.If oligohydramnios is observed, fosinopril should be discontinued unless it is considered life-saving for the mother.
Contraction stress testing (CST), a non-stress test (NST), or biophysical profiling (BPP) may be appropriate, depending upon the week of pregnancy.
Patients and physicians should be aware, however, that oligohydramnios may not appear until after the fetus has sustained irreversible injury.
Infants with histories of in utero exposure to ACE inhibitors should be closely observed for hypotension, oliguria, and hyperkalemia.
If oliguria occurs, attention should be directed toward support of blood pressure and renal perfusion.Exchange transfusion or peritoneal dialysis may be required as a means of reversing hypotension and/or substituting for disordered renal function.
Fosinopril is poorly dialyzed from the circulation of adults, and indeed there is no experience with any procedure for removing fosinopril from the neonatal circulation, but limited experience with other ACE inhibitors has not shown that such removal is central to the treatment of these infants.
When fosinopril is given to pregnant rats at doses about 80 to 250 times (on a mg/kg basis) the maximum recommended human dose, three similar orofacial malformations and one fetus with situs inversus were observed among the offspring.
In pregnant rabbits, no teratogenic effects of fosinopril were seen in studies at doses up to 25 times (on a mg/kg basis) the maximum recommended human dose.Impaired Hepatic FunctionRarely, ACE inhibitors have been associated with a syndrome that begins with cholestatic jaundice and progresses to fulminant hepatic necrosis and (sometimes) death.
The mechanism of this syndrome is not understood.
A patient receiving Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide who develops jaundice or marked elevation of hepatic enzymes should discontinue Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide tablets and receive appropriate medical follow-up.
Fosinopril Sodium and Hydrochlorothiazide should be used with caution in patients with impaired hepatic function or progressive liver disease, since minor alterations of fluid and electrolyte balance may precipitate hepatic coma.
Also, since the metabolism of fosinopril to fosinoprilat is normally dependent upon hepatic esterases, patients with impaired liver function could develop elevated plasma levels of fosinopril.
In a study of patients with alcoholic or biliary cirrhosis the rate (but not the extent) of hydrolysis to fosinoprilat was reduced.In these patients the clearance of fosinoprilat was reduced, and the area under the fosinoprilat-time curve was approximately doubled.Systemic Lupus ErythematosusThiazide diuretics have been reported to cause exacerbation or activation of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Justin reveals how he keeps the romance alive in his relationship with Selena — he's so sweet!
Justin Bieber really might be the best boyfriend in the world! From cozy movie dates to exotic Hawaiian vacations, the 18-year-old pop star opens up in the new issue of Seventeen about how he thinks women should really be treated.
"I think it's important to make all women feel like they're princesses because every girl is a princess," Justin revealed. "I'm just trying to make her happy, that's all."
And Justin has spared no expense in making sure that his girlfriend, Selena Gomez, 19, knows that's true! Earlier this week, Justin and Selena were spotted catching American Reunion, grabbing a low-key lunch, and even hanging out together in the recording studio.
The "Boyfriend" singer has come along way from his days of performing of YouTube and hopes his music reflects that maturity.
"A lot of times, when artists grow older, they lose their younger fans because they're just trying to get older fans," he explained. "But if you try to make good music, then you'll just appease everybody. I just want to make music that's good for everybody."
Do YOU think Justin treats Selena like a princess, HollywoodLifers?

text: 4 The camera that reaches parts that other cams cannot reach.Fwibble | 12/10/2009 | See all Fwibble's reviews (3)I finally give in to temptation and made this purchase. The average retail for this camera is £50. - £55.The camera is surprisingly good quality for the money and the magnification is very impressive but the rest of the package suffers a little.The camera is a 640 x 480 1.3Gb Cmos chip. I have managed to take some great pictures with this camera at high resolutions so don't be put off by this because 640 x 480 is standard for a web camera. The frame rate is not adjustable manually but claims to go to a maximum of 30fps. Its highest resolution is 2560 X 1920. It needs a little time to read light values sometimes when you switch resolution but that is typical of the technology and not a problem. The focal wheel is a bit stiff at high magnification so you need a very good support for the camera. You cannot take this camera apart to maintain it because it is sealed which is a definite minus for any product. The Microscope is very good for inspecting materials for flaws etc but the cable is very short and it looks like an extension USB cable is badly needed, my next purchase.Overall the Camera has many uses and is great value for your money. It is just a question of it's life span before it fails (as with all electronics) and only time can reveal this. If it is as good as other cameras I have it will last for many years.The stand suffers from being too light so that will be getting filled with something heavier to make it sturdy. Only do this once the warranty has run out just in case you have to return it.The built in LED illumination is good for some jobs but you can make better light sources that will not reflect the LED lamps back into the lens from shiny surfaces with little or no cost.The software is poor so you need to persevere with it a little and it is not Microsoft tested software.Software is available on the Internet where you can take multiple images from your camera and your computer overlays them by stacking them over each other to get better quality pictures but Veho failed to implement this in their software package. This would eliminate grain problems in the pictures in poor light or high resolution that is interpolated to 2Gb from the 1.3Gb Cmos chip. The delete option is annoying and it is safer to do this from the folder where it stores the pictures rather than from the software interface. Most of the camera options in the menu for camera effects are locked if you are running a higher resolution than 640 x 480. The software is ok for capturing images that you can then open in other art software programs you may have.The plastic packaging tube is poor and I was amazed I got it in one piece though the post.The Manual is very poor (but humorous) and appears to be a direct translation from Korean to English. The book is just stuffed into the packaging without care and therefore badly creased. It has very little information and you have to work out how to operate the camera yourself. For example ~ I discovered that it has 2 focal points that give very different magnifications depending which way you turn the focus wheel and how far you turn it. Position 1 focal range is when the lens is set far back inside the camera and position 2 focal range is when the lens is very close to the subject you are studying. This is not mentioned in the manual anywhere yet it makes a huge difference in magnification of the subject.Manual = bin.You will not be disappointed with the camera as it is as good as any other product on the current market in this price range. It is the camera you are paying for so I'm not disappointed because of the lower quality standard of the packaged extras it comes with. But image-stacking software will be very useful.

Review: 'Columnist' on Broadway is engaging but never goes beyond what's fit to print

Monday 02 December 2013
Coaches from Borussia Moenchengladbach and Anderlecht have revealed a great air of excitement at their teams taking part in the Premier League Christmas Truce Tournament in Ypres on December 7-8 as the eight clubs who will participate were revealed.
"As well as the competition on the pitch our young players gain a lot of precious experience by meeting players of their age from different countries"
Lars Tiefenhoff
Arsenal and Manchester City will represent England having emerged as the top two in the National finals this month at St George's Park. Borussia, the defending champions, will be joined by Schalke from Germany, while Paris Saint-German and Valenciennes will be there for France, and Club Brugge will join fellow Belgians Anderlecht.
Since 2011 the Premier League has celebrated the unique piece of football history of the Christmas Truce, when soldiers in combat on the Western Front in Belgium laid down their arms on Christmas Day and ventured into no-man's land to sing carols, exchange gifts and play football. Every December it runs the Christmas Truce Tournament in the small town of Ypres, in Belgium, where much of the fighting took place in the Great War.
It has become a successful platform for the entwined educational and football development of the best young players in the Premier League, Ligue 1, Pro League and Bundesliga, as two teams from professional clubs in each country come together to honour their forefathers.
"We're very glad to be invited again," Lars Tiefenhoff, the Borussia head youth coach, said. "It was a great experience for our players to win the tournament last year. It's always something special and a big challenge to compete with teams from other European countries.
"The Christmas Truce Tournament is a high-level competition and the organisation is absolutely perfect, so we're looking forward to participate again. As well as the competition on the pitch our young players gain a lot of precious experience by meeting players of their age from different countries. That helps to develop them not only as players, but as individuals as well."
Gert Desot, the coach of Anderlecht Under-12s is looking forward to the experience, having been there last year.
"Our boys are can't wait to play teams from different countries because it is always a great experience"
Grant Desot
"Our boys are can't wait to play teams from different countries because it is always a great experience," said Desot, whose side contains players who played against Arsenal and Manchester City earlier this year at a Premier League tournament at St George's Park.
Desot also emphasised the importance of the experience his boys received off the pitch with various ceremonies commemorating those who fell in First World War and a visit to a local museum helping to educate the participating players.
The players also enjoy the benefit of mixing with their counterparts from other countries. On the Saturday evening between the two days of matches, all the under-12 players are seated at tables with members of teams from each of the other three nations to encourage the cultural exchange as well as an exchange of gifts.
The youngsters will also witness for the first time a performance that will bring to life the experiences of the soldiers who took part in the Christmas Truce.
"Last year, at first our boys were a bit nervous sitting next to others from different countries but by the end they were really happy, chatting freely and promising to stay in touch, exchanging contact details," Desot said. "This year, with all four countries having qualified for next year's World Cup finals, they will have something in common to talk about."
For the players from the English teams, they will have the chance to tour the sites of the war, visit the war graves and the museum before the Ode to Remembrance is read at the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate. Members of each team lay a wreath at the memorial, whose large Hall of Memory contains names on stone panels of 54,896 British and Commonwealth soldiers who died in the Salient but whose bodies have never been identified or found.
"By making them read out the poems, lay down the wreaths, read out the names of those who died, you're making these young players think"
Martyn Heather
As well as the football and the cultural elements for the players, a demonstration of the educational emphasis of the Premier League's Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP), of which the event is a key part, for the first time all the Heads of Welfare from the 20 Premier League clubs will travel to Ypres to see the impact that the tournament has in terms of bringing history to life and making it relevant to young people.
"By making them read out the poems, lay down the wreaths, read out the names of those who died, you're making these young players think about what they're doing," Martyn Heather, head of education at the Premier League, says. "It's important. It does go solemn but that's the reason why this tournament keeps on growing, because of the amazing response of the clubs and the players. The more we do it, the more we see the positive effects. It's surpassed our expectations."
The tournament
Group A Anderlecht, Arsenal, Borussia Moenchengladbach, Valenciennes
Group B Club Brugge, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Schalke 04
Teams will play each other once in the group stage in 9 v 9 matches. The team finishing in first place in each group will progress to the final, while the rest of the teams will play off against the team finishing in the same position in the other group to determine their overall tournament placing.
All matches will take place at Crack Stadion in Ypres with access free to the public and the Barclays Premier League Trophy will also be on display for visitors to view.

Northern Illinois University athletic officials have reported a $253,780 profit from the Jan. 1 Orange Bowl in Florida. The MAC conference distributed $1.3 million. Expenses for NIU totaled around $1 million.
Donna Turner, NIU Associate Athletic Director for Communications, says there was a net gain due to the agreements made with the Mid-American Conference and the effective management of expenses.
Northern Illinois University's football team came up short last night in their first appearance in one of the nation's top bowl games. The Huskies lost to the Florida State Seminoles 31 to 10 in the Orange Bowl.
It was a disappointing end to an incredible season for Northern Illinois University's football team. The Florida State Seminoles bottled up the Huskies offense to win the Discover Orange Bowl, 31 to 10.
The NIU Huskies play tonight in the Orange Bowl. Those who have followed the team through the years have a lot to be excited about.
26 busloads of NIU students left Sunday from DeKalb for the Orange Bowl. 1,300 students and more than 50 trip advisers were bound for Miami. The game is Tuesday night at 7:30.
More photos (courtesy of NIU)
Tomorrow's the big day for NIU football fans.
The NIU football team heads for Miami today. The Huskies, who are ranked 15th in the nation, are preparing to play Florida State in the Orange Bowl New Year's Day. It's the first time a team from the Mid-American Conference will appear in a BCS game.
NIU may be an easy target to illustrate some frustration with the way the Bowl Championship Series are decided. Larger schools with winning records which have played bigger teams were left out. NIU plays in the Mid-American Conference, and a MAC team has never made it into a BCS bowl. But a lot of things had to go right for the Huskies to get the nod--and they did.
The NIU Convocation Center played host Wednesday night to a pep rally for members of the Huskies football team. Players took the floor during half-time of the NIU Men's Basketball game.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. The Basics Of PPC Advertising
PPC advertising is the most revolutionary, targeted and powerful advertising medium in existence. By definition, your ads display only to people who have already expressed interest in your products or services. You only pay once they click on your ad and are delivered to your website. It is a completely fluid marketplace and with Wpromote's expertise and technology, we are able to "turn on a dime", optimizing your campaign in real-time. Simply put, PPC advertising is enormously powerful and extremely profitable when executed with precision and efficiency.
First, you select a list of keywords that will be triggered by users searching in search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. For those keywords, we write an ad to market your products or services. Users will see this ad when they search for relevant terms. You will pay each time a user clicks on the ad and is delivered to your website. The amount that you'll pay is dependent on a preset "maximum bid" based on what you are willing to spend. If you take this concept, apply it to thousands of keywords, hundreds of ads, and make changes based on a variety of data factors, you have yourself a PPC campaign. It's very easy to do, but very difficult to do well.
Ads – otherwise known as sponsored links – will show up on the search results pages of basically every major search engine, including Google, Yahoo, Bing, AOL, Ask and many others. On the search results pages in all of these search engines, there are two sets of links. The sponsored links appear on the top and along the right hand side of the page and the organic links are listed on the main body of the page along the left. Organic links are chosen and ordered by the search engines' complex algorithms. Improving results in the organic links is known as Search Engine Optimization and managing sponsored link campaigns is known as PPC Management. Wpromote, a full-service, integrated search firm, excels in both of these areas.
Quickly! After returning our Service Activation Proposal, we will schedule a kick-off phone call with your account management team within one business day. Generally, within a week after the call, your account will be built, reviewed and launched!
With PPC advertising, you get to pick the maximum amount you are willing to pay each time somebody clicks on your ad. This maximum "bid", combined with a myriad of other factors – including the relevance of your ad copy, the structure of your campaign and the historical performance of that keyword – determine exactly what you end up paying and in what position your ad will appear. The more you are able to pay, the higher you will show up in the search results and the more clicks you will receive. Depending on the competition for a given keyword, each click can range from $.05 to $20 or more, with an industry average of about $1.40 per click.
PPC campaigns can be as expensive as you plan them to be. You set your budget and Wpromote spends that budget as efficiently as possible with the goal of maximizing your results. The more you spend, the more traffic you can get and the higher your results can be in the search engines. It is important to note, though, that spending more doesn't always mean a higher return on your investment. Most successful campaigns begin with a budget that is comfortable but not too risky. Your budget should expand if the results achieved are positive enough to justify greater investment.
2. General Questions
Wpromote manages PPC campaigns in Google AdWords and Microsoft AdCenter which cover over 99% of the search traffic in the US. These search engines power the PPC advertising in Google, Yahoo, Bing, AOL, Ask and many others. Wpromote also manages ads in non-search based PPC platforms such as Facebook and others on a case-by-case basis.
Wpromote's PPC management fees are based on your monthly spend, with prices beginning at $1,000 per month. For larger clients, we are able to structure custom pricing models, including fee caps and performance-based models. Please call 866.977.6668 for more details.
PPC campaign optimization refers to the process of making incremental changes to a campaign in order to create a higher average return for every dollar spent. Included under the umbrella of optimization is keyword development, ad copy testing, bid management, data analysis and more. The end goal is to identify and expand upon the components of a campaign that provide the best return on investment and cut out the components of a campaign that are providing the least return on investment. A simple example of campaign optimization would be identifying the keywords with the lowest cost per conversion and raising their bids and, conversely, lowering the bids on the keywords with the highest cost per conversion. Optimization is an ongoing process as new tools and products are made available and the marketplace changes with time and new advertisers.
Absolutely! Your budget is entirely fluid and can be adjusted by your account executive with a simple email. If you work with a catalog of products or services, we will want to build a PPC campaign that parallels this catalog and is constantly updated to reflect changes in pricing, features or inventory. Wpromote is happy to work out individual arrangements with its clients to ensure that product and service listings are kept up to date.
Wpromote provides reporting on a monthly level, however, we are generally happy to make exceptions and provide reporting on a basis that works best for you. Our reports are meant to summarize campaign activity as well as detail exactly how your budget was spent across the keywords in your campaign. This includes impressions, clicks, cost per click, conversions, cost per conversion, ROI, revenue generated and more (all if applicable).
3. Existing Campaign Questions
It is very easy to open self-service accounts with Google AdWords and Microsoft adCenter and run campaigns yourself or in-house. Many campaigns, however, require extensive, ongoing analysis and the expertise of understanding the nuances of the various interfaces and the marketplaces. Wpromote's EssentialPPC platform is constantly evolving to remain at the forefront of PPC technology and is only available to Wpromote clients. Our PPC Management services can pay for themselves many times over in increased efficiency and by freeing you up to do what you do best: run your business.
Years ago, it was a snap to run PPC campaigns because the marketplace was so new that even inefficient campaigns could still generate exceptional returns. Nowadays, it can be very difficult, requiring a thorough understanding of the complexities of the PPC marketplace. Since the inception of PPC, Wpromote has developed the tools, gained the experience and built the technology necessary to run massive and highly efficient search campaigns. In such a competitive environment, Wpromote leverages these assets to give you a competitive advantage.
There are numerous ways that Wpromote can make existing campaigns run better, such as expanding keyword lists and match type variations, experimenting with ad copy, improving account structure, testing landing pages, bidding more effectively, engaging negative keywords and more. Wpromote is also privy to Beta features in AdWords and adCenter that aren't yet available to the general public! We approach every campaign with a broad range of tools at our disposal, identify the areas with the highest degree of need and begin our search for greater ROI.
4. PPC Myths Debunked
This is one of the most common PPC misconceptions. If the question is, "How do I simply drive the greatest volume of clicks?" then, yes, the answer is to be #1. Achieving this placement is not magic; it is a question of cost. The more you bid, the higher you rank and the more clicks you will inevitably receive. However, being #1 in most markets costs an exceptional amount and this cost should be justified by the return being generated from the traffic. This can be daunting, especially if the marketplace is very competitive. If you have a set budget, you may find that bidding enough to rank #1 uses up that budget too quickly and that a lower bid — and lower rank on the search results page — will allow you to receive more traffic for the same dollar value.
As much as we would like to, due to the myriad factors out of our control – the convertibility of the website, the competition in the market space, the time required to gain statistically significant data, the whims of Google's policy team – it would be irresponsible for us to make any guarantees regarding any campaign metric. That said, we work tirelessly to run successful campaigns for our clients, employing the most innovative software analysis available and will aim for any goals set by you.
While it is easy to identify a handful of the most obvious keywords related to your products or services, they compose just a fraction of the total keywords that will drive high quality traffic to your website. Wpromote can identify the hundreds or even thousands of variations of your primary keywords, which can, in turn, send extremely valuable, high converting traffic to your site. Some data suggests that as many as 25% of searches each month have never been searched for before!
There is no guarantee that the same tagline that has worked in your direct mail or billboard campaign will translate into the best PPC ad copy. We only have 95 characters of text to pitch to a potential customer viewing a search results page. We make no assumptions that "Fast Shipping" is better than "Huge Selection" or that a "Free Quote" is better than a "Fast Quote." Thus, we approach each campaign with a breadth of experience and best practices of what has worked elsewhere, and then we test, test, and test again to figure out which combination of factors results in the highest performing ad. Ad copy optimization boils down to "test, compare, and repeat."
PPC advertising gives you the ultimate flexibility of spending exactly what you want on your advertising each day, or each month. There are really two ways to approach the budget issue. The first, you establish a set budget, and our goal is to maximize results given your budget constraint. The second, you set a maximum ideal cost per conversion, and maximize your conversions (i.e. spend as much money as you are able to) given the constraint of an upper-bounded cost per conversion. Which direction you should go will be dependent on how fluid your budget is, and how rigid – if at all – your conversion cost constraint is. With these variables in mind, you set your budget, and we manage your campaign to maximize your results, regardless.
To maximize your results, your campaign needs to be constantly watched, tested and improved. Further, your keyword bids require adjustment in order to adapt to changes in the marketplace, seasonal shifts and many other factors. Furthermore, Google and Microsoft are constantly releasing new Beta tools and products in AdWords and adCenter to improve the user experience. Expert ongoing optimization is the only way to maintain the highest possible return on your advertising dollar.

10 Best 3D Blu-Ray Movies to Watch at Home
Less-than-optimum projection setups and sometimes questionable movie quality are making the future of seeing 3D movies in the theater an uncertain one (though we're admittedly excited to see Titanic 3D, which hits theaters today). But with 3D home theaters, you can control the experience by buying the right equipment. That just leaves the question of what to watch. Although the choices for the stereoscopic enthusiasts seem frustratingly limited for the moment, these 10 films could make the solid beginnings of a 3D Blu-ray library.
By Glenn Kenny
Hugo's world is 1930s Paris, as conjured by Martin Scorsese. The cinephile director is a big fan of 1950s-style 3D, which was often heavy on poke-you-in-the-eye stuff, but also produced gems such as Hitchcock's rich use of the format in Dial M for Murder (which deserves its own 3D Blu-ray). The 3D in Hugo enhances Scorsese's trademark tracking shots, and some of the more unexpected effectssuch as the way a gleam of sunlight illuminates a floating dust mote in the frameare startling.

Distance Learning
As with many school districts, the Mobile County Public School System (MCPSS) in Alabama had challenges delivering consistent education to many and varied schools across a large area. Mobile is one of the largest in the country, however, with more than 100 schools across 1,644 square miles, which made it difficult to find an efficient solution.
In 2004, Governor Bob Riley initiated a program called Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators and Students Statewide (ACCESS). ACCESS is a distance learning program designed to address those challenges and provide equal opportunities to all students to receive advanced courses whether they live in rural or urban areas.
To accommodate ACCESS, MCPSS incorporated Tandberg video communication systems for distance learning. Alma Bryant High School, a rural high school in Irvington, AL, was selected as one of the pilot sites.
"As teachers stepped forward to accept the challenge of teaching via distance, they became models for interactive video delivery of curriculum." said Michele D. White, interim technology coordinator for MCPSS. "This was transformational for the school."
ACCESS allows students to receive instruction that they otherwise would not have the opportunity to get, such as honors courses and, in some cases, even required courses for advanced diplomas. A student may need AP Calculus to graduate, for example, but the course schedule may conflict with other required courses. With ACCESS, the student can fit it into the schedule and obtain the desired advanced diploma.
One of the goals of the governor's initiative was to have one distance learning lab in every high school in the state by 2010. "All high schools are now full ACCESS sites," said White, "one year ahead of schedule."
White said that, in addition to providing distance learning opportunities to high school students, MCPSS set a priority to provide the same opportunities within the district to middle schools. E-rate and local district matching funds were used to purchase eligible middle schools a distance learning lab. The other middle schools received portable distance learning labs through grants made available via the federal Enhancing Education through Technology (EETT) program. The elementary schools also have five portable units available for check-out as requested.
All schools--elementary, middle, and high schools--use the video equipment for virtual field trips and connecting classes within the district. The middle schools use distance learning to assist with teacher vacancies and to facilitate the gifted program at remote sites. For gifted students in rural areas, distance learning is particularly valuable, since it opens up opportunities not previously available. With geographical barriers removed, gifted education teachers can now serve those underserved schools. Also, with the short supply of gifted education teachers, distance learning maximizes use of each of those teachers. Distance education also results in cost savings by eliminating the need to hire gifted education teachers for each school in need.
For more general purpose use, the videoconferencing technology helps students who may miss class or need additional assistance. MCPSS can record classes and put them online for students to review, so if a student is absent or didn't fully understand the lesson, the student can go back and review it. Meanwhile, the teacher can continue on without taking extra time away from the rest of the class to bring that student up to speed.
White said a current priority of the division of information technology is promoting 21st century technology tools for the classroom. The grants written by the department have funded staff development and equipment for teachers who commit to these projects.
"Projects called SmartMath and TEACH21 have been implemented to provide Smart Boards, laptops, document cameras, wireless slates, and response systems to the classes and tremendous staff development to teachers who participate and commit to transforming their way of delivering the curriculum," she said. The staff development program is so successful, she said, that even teachers who obtained equipment from other sources continue to sign up for the professional development portion of the projects.
Teachers who attend professional development can do so via videoconferencing, which saves travel time. They can travel five minutes to a conferencing site (rather than having the teachers from all 103 sites travel 30 to 40 miles to one designated location). Videoconferencing also helps with logistics, since no one location need worry about parking availability, meeting room seating, or equipment. These sessions are also recorded so they can be accessed later on the Web.
As for the students, White said technology first and foremost helps engage the students. "Students today 'disconnect' when they walk into their classrooms," she said. "We are trying to assist schools with reconnecting the students through great delivery of the curriculum in a way that students feel involved and engaged in their learning."
The department also said that exposing students to these technologies now helps them understand what they are and how they are used. That gives them a head start when they again encounter these technologies in college or out in the work world.
For now, the department is working with all the schools to integrate those 21st century tools to all children in all classrooms. "The division of information technology saw an opportunity to provide some excitement and energy to the classroom," said White. "Attendance, participation, and test scores will improve with student engagement in this interactive delivery of the curriculum. Technology is changing how the curriculum is being delivered, not the curriculum itself."

OPENING: The Mastersons
Catch the making of their new ablum, Good Luck Charm, here. Good Luck Charm was released July 4, 2014. Stream it on Spotify here.
A Note from Justin:
Due to unforeseen immigration/visa issues entirely beyond the control of everyone involved I am sadly forced to re-schedule my entire US tour. The dates are now being re-booked for September '14.
I have never cancelled a single show before so I am extremely disappointed and embarrassed that my hand has been forced here and I humbly apologise to everyone who has bought tickets, made travel plans or booked a day off work.
I was looking forward to these gigs immensely and had been working, if not hard, then reasonably diligently to put a great little show together for y'all. But I shall be with you eventually in the fall so all is not lost. I am told that tickets will be vaild for any rescheduled dates or you can contact your venue for a refund. By that time I might even have practiced those songs folk are constantly requesting that I claim not to remember. See you later in the year. Thank you for your patience and happy Easter.
About Justin Currie
As singer and main songwriter in Del Amitri, formed in Glasgow in 1983, Justin Currie wrote many of their biggest hits including 'Roll To Me', 'Always The Last To Know', and 'Nothing Ever Happens'. During their long and distinguished career Del Amitri released four Top 10 albums, including Waking Hours (1989), which sold over a million copies in the UK alone.
In 2013 Currie released his critically acclaimed fourth solo album Lower Reaches, which was recorded in Austin, Texas, with producer Mike McCarthy (Craig Finn (The Hold Steady), Spoon, Patty Griffin, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead). The album is the first release on Currie's own label Endless Shipwreck, through Ignition Records.
Currie will re-unite with Del Amitri for their first tour in over a decade in January 2014.
What Other People Have Been Saying...
"Lower Reaches reminds us that whether the idiom is Badfinger-esque powerpop (I Hate Myself For Loving You), or spry Dillard & Clark-like country (On My Conscience), Currie's graceful melodies and info-laden beauty and/or bile-buoyed couplets are up to the job" **** Mojo
"A rich atmosphere of Americana…..dallying on the outskirts of John Grant pop grandeur" - Uncut
"Currie is so in tune with his muse that he… gives a masterclass in songwriting that is all his own work." - The Independent

Military Nursing Questions Answered - page 5
Hello. I have seen many questions posted about the recruiting, the military, and future military experiences, I wanted to start a Q & A forum where you can ask questions related to the military from someone who is in the... Read More
- 0Feb 23, '12 by navyman7UtaMaverick: It's been a while since I had to do any of this but I will do my best. First of all you will negotiate your orders before you graduate. Actually you should be doing this soon, within the next month or so. After graduation you will need to take and pass the nclex. You don't want to be that nurse at officer development school (ODS) that didn't pass the first time. You should have your orders to RI before you take your nclex, but this may vary. Sometime after the nclex you fly to RI for 5 weeks of "officer training" or ODS. If you're married then your spouse will be negotiating the move to your duty station while you are at ODS. (some of this may vary depending on how soon you go to RI after the nclex.)
It seems to me that this is still confusing; I will explain what we did in hope of clarifying things a little.
I negotiated orders in feb or march. I graduated in may, passed in june. ODS in mid july. My wife and I house hunted before I left to RI in june. While I was in RI, my wife worked with the moving office to get us moved from A to B. After ODS I flew to my new duty station. (I think that the navy will only fly you from ODS to your new duty station, not back to your home of record location) Once I got to my duty station I could have taken some leave or immediately get to work/orientation. Let me know if you have more questions or need further clarification.
- 0Feb 24, '12 by GuelnRnHello navyman,
thanks for all of the detailed responses. I had a question with your reply to utamaverick. Earlier on this thread you told me you didn't do NCP and were under direct accession when you came into the Navy. How is it then that you were negotiating orders before graduating with your BSN. Aside from the NCP, is there another way to apply to the the Nurse Corps. while still in school?
- 0Feb 24, '12 by navyman7guelrn: in regards to your ncp/da question. I applied to the Navy while still in school via the direct accession program. Since they turned down me for NCP I reapplied via the DA route while still in school. I know it has gotten harder for people to get into the Navy now, so they may not do this anymore. But when I joined I was able to negotiate coming into the Navy straight from school. I also had experience as a rn before I came into the Navy, about a year in a non military hospital so maybe that's why I was able to pursue that route.
- 0Feb 24, '12 by harrelj1Hey navyman,
First, thanks for all the help. It can be hard to trust what you're getting from a recruiter. I've been to talk to one and it all seems fantastic. My only concern is that he told me that after I graduate nursing school I'm guaranteed to be stationed in one of three places as a new naval nurse: San Diego, Bethesda, or Norfolk. This seems a little to good to be true. He also told me that I wouldn't be deployed in my first round of service. I have no problem with deployment but I have a wife trying to coordinate some of her post graduate plans and to be honest I want to know if my recruiter is being honest. Any help would be great. Thanks.
- 0Feb 24, '12 by RN_survivorhi navyman7,
im an RN (BSN), with 7 yrs experience in Med-Surg/Tele, and i interested in joining the Navy as a Reserve. i have a few questions before i swim right in to this big ocean!
1. do i still need to take the ASVAB?
2. do i need to go to bootcamp?
3. will i choose the hospital where i am gonna work at? or do they choose it for me? ; i work in Med-Surg, do u think they'll consider my options if i wanna try and work in the ER? do they provide training?
4. will i get to deployed out of state / out of the country even if im only a Reserve?
5. will i be excused from my civilian job just in case i get deployed?
6. do they give u a sign-on bonus as a Reserve? if yes, is it lump sum?
7. whats the minimum yrs of service for a Reserve?
8. i live in LA, do they send me to san diego to work?
9. will u be an officer right away if you're an RN or has finished the BSN?
10. will i get a Navy Uniform even if you're a Reserve?
sorry too many questions haha! but thanks for your time, though! i wanna know more info before i meet up with a Recruiter. they said that they would talk all good about the Navy to sell it, but wont tell you the not-so-good-ones haha! thanks!
- 0Feb 27, '12 by navyman7harrelji1: Those 3 hospitals are where they try there hardest to send all the newly commissioned nurses so that part is true. As with all of my posts, there are exceptions to the rule especially in the military. As for the no deployment, I heard that lie too. I deployed after 1 1/2 years into my contract. Deployments depend on many factors like; where you work, where you work, where you work. Typical deployment heirarchy goes something like this: ICU, ED, CCU/other critical care areas, med/surg nursing. You're recruiter may be telling the truth, he also may be leaving some crucial things out or he doesn't know. I have seen both instances. Good luck.
- 0Feb 27, '12 by navyman7RNSurvivor: no asvab, that's for the enlisted only. No bootcamp, medical/nurse corps goes to 5 weeks of ODS. YOu may request where you want to go, but the needs of the navy always come first, typically its: bethesda/portsmouth/sandiego. yes you can work other areas but if they hire you as a medsurg nurse then that's where you will most likely work. there are more reservists deploying than active duty. as for the excuse, yes thay have to excuse you if you get deployed. I have no idea about the bonus' or time commitments for the reserves. As for san diego, most likely. They want to save money too, but again nothing is for sure. To be a navy nurse you have to have you're BSN they won't commission you without it. All officers AD & reserve get uniforms. You will have to pay for them though. The basics will cost you around 2k, Sorry but there spendy. Good luck, and make sure you talk to a nurse corp recruiter.
- 0Feb 28, '12 by RobinFlynnWhat all paperwork do you do after you are in and switch from enlistee to officer. Do you have to reapply for your security clearance? redo that whole 10 page application?

Case Study: Military Camera System Case
The Challenge
A specialist on active duty for the National Guard Security Force Platoon, wanted to custom build a "Combat Crewman Camera System" for mounting on armored military tactical vehicles and use in various missions and training procedures. He came to us with a napkin sketch and a fixed budget.
The Response
We chose the watertight, crushproof and dustproof Pelican 1490 for its durable construction and locking latches that would ensure a tight closure during transit and not disturb the top-mounted cameras. We also designed a custom foam interior shaped to secure the many components of the client's creative AV system.
The Solution
The project was a collaborative effort: We engineered the custom foam interior to meet the client's specifications for the delicate audio and visual components. He did the rest: He mounted multiple XLR connectors on the case and added handles for immobilization during transit and to allow him to open the case without disturbing the camera positions. He also installed several camera pedestal mounts on the case for maximum visibility at a wide range of angles and added other modifications to protect the case from moisture.
To complete the system, the client purchased an Otter Waterproof Case (OC-1000) and converted it into an SD card holder. He also customized a Pelican 1400 (PC-1400) for use as a support case. It stores the rest of the camera system parts, including the mounting brackets, the Otter case with the SD cards, and the camera pedestal extension mounts.
Case Study: Medical Device Instrument Case
The Challenge
A California-based spinal company relied on flimsy corrugated packaging and commercially-produced dunnage to protect their anatomically-driven instrumentation. They came to Cases By Source to explore more effective alternatives and, in the course of sending their equipment for measurement, experienced first-hand proof of their need for cases: The tools were damaged in transit.
The Response
To protect the client's sensitive equipment, we suggested a durable but portable case that would guarantee protection and still offer the aesthetics of a sales demo kit. The Pelican 1510 Carry-On Case pairs durable, lightweight construction with a travel-friendly design that meets FAA carry-on size regulations—a perfect solution for this client's needs.
The Solution
Using our sophisticated structural design tools, we measured each piece of equipment in order to determine the most sensible layout for the custom interior. We then created 3D computer models of the instruments and proposed interior to provide the customer with a quick snapshot of the case before production commenced. For this client, we fabricated a closed-cell cross-linked, routed-foam custom insert to secure the items and display them in an efficient order inside the watertight, crushproof and dustproof case. This foam is available in a variety of densities with rich color saturations. For brand recognition and informational purposes, we added a scratchproof, personalized label to the exterior and a literature pouch was secured in the lid.

Sea-Tac control tower silent for 25 minutes
SEATAC, Wash. – For 25 minutes in the wee hours of April 11, the control tower at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport did not respond to airplane traffic.
"There were two planes affected — one trying to take off and one trying to come in," airport spokesman Bob Parker said Monday.
The unexplained silence, which started about 3 a.m. that day, ended when a Port of Seattle staff member drove to the guard shack at the base of the control tower.
"They went over to the guard shack at the tower and he (the guard) was able to raise someone," Parker said.
The matter is being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration, which oversees air traffic control, KING-TV reported. Associated Press calls to the agency's local office after business hours Monday were not immediately returned.
Airport officials and the FAA told KING earlier Monday that a Boeing 747-400 flown by Taiwanese carrier EVA was on its final approach to Sea-Tac at around 3:15 a.m. when it radioed the control tower for permission to land.
There was no response. Eventually, the airliner reached a dispatcher at the airport's departure control facility, who is not in the control tower, and made a plan to remain airborne until a controller could be reached.
Meanwhile, a Delta Airlines jet attempting to back away from the airport's south satellite got no response when it sought clearance to leave.
The airfield — the runways and taxiways — was cleared of maintenance workers until the tower resumed communications, Parker said. "They followed procedure and left the immediate area," he said.
At the time, only one controller was required to be in the glassed-in part of the tower, KING reported.
Historically, one controller has been sufficient because activity is so low at that time of day, Mike Ehl, airport operations director, told KING.
"We think this is indeed an aberration that is still under investigation," Ehl said.
