Give Coca-Cola points for architectural originality. It has built what looks like a series of red and white plastic blocks that have just been hit with buckshot and are exploding into shards. What is this thing? It is the Coca-Cola Beat Box, a "building that you can play," as the company's many young docents will exuberantly explain.

 David Segal took readers on a tour of the corporate sponsorship pavilions at London's Olympic Park. Mr. Segal found corporate self-promotion run amok. Along with a range of architectural follies.

But what most attracted me was the architectural landscape of South Moravia — its surprising profusion of castles and chateaus, built between the 12th and the 19th centuries, many of them designated by Unesco as sites of cultural significance.

 Evan Rail visits the region of Moravia the lesser known cousin of Bohemia, in the Czech Republic. Along the way he encounters the 19th century architectural follies of the Liechtenstein family, discovers Moravia's Baroque castles and manages to reference the philosopher Gaston Bachelard.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn (WVLT) -- Most people know Gordon Bruner as a big businessman.
But that's changing for the better.
He says, "I got on the scale at 290 pounds and I thought whoa, this is crazy."
That was months ago. Gordon is now 45 pounds lighter and active.
The 52 year old trains up to three hours a day to walk the Nashville Music City Marathon on April 30th.
He's part of the (Knoxville) American Cancer Society's team.
Gordon says, "It's kind of a catalyst as a personal goal to try and lose weight. I had gotten big and unhealthy to lose weight it seemed like a good challenge to do something for someone else other than just myself."
Marathon team leader, Michael Holtz says Gordon's commitment benefits the ACS and others around him.
"He's the leader of his company and he is making healthy choices to exercise eat better. His employees see that. He is changing the shape of his company literally," according to Holtz.
He has fruits and other nutritious foods replacing junk around the office.
And his business "Papaw Toms" Foods now offer "all natural" products.
As he reaches for motivation from self help books to stay on track, Gordon reminds us,
"If you tell yourself you can do it, you want to do it, you can do it if you put your mind to it. And that all starts with wanting to do it."

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Curt firstname.lastname@example.com It comes along every 10 years and tries to reach everyone living in the United States. It asks people to fill out the forms that wil alllow them to be counted, and return the documents to the federal government. It influences how many representatives each state will get in the U.S. House of Representatives, based on where people live. It is the federal government's census, and the time to conduct a new one will arrive next year. "The main reason to do it is to distribute political power, with the political power being seats in the Congress," said Clayton State University Assistant Professor of Political Science Sean Mattie. Mattie led a group discussion on the census, hosted by Clayton State's American Democracy Project chapter, in the university's School of Business building on Tuesday. Fifteen students and university employees participated in the discussion. The U.S. Constitution mandates that seats in the U.S. House of Representatives shall be apportioned based on a count of all people living in the country that shall be taken every 10 years, according to the U. S. Census Bureau's web site. "The purpose of this discussion was to talk about why it is important to participate in the census, as well as some of the controversies surrounding it, said Joseph Corrado, Clayton State's American Democracy Project coordinator, and an assistant professor of political science at the school. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that there were 281,424,602 people living in the United States as of April 1, 2000, when the 2000 census forms were due back to the agency, according to the bureau's web site. The web site also shows that the bureau estimates that the population grew by 8 percent between the day the 2000 census forms were due back, and July 1, 2008. Mattie said the 2010 census form will only contain 10 questions, which is down significantly from the 35 questions included on the form used in 2000. "It will be a much shorter, and condensed questionnaire than we saw in 2000," he said. The questions on the 2010 form will be basic questions, asking for the names and ages of each person who lives in a household, and how long they have lived there, as well as inquiries about ethnicity, and household income, according to the bureau's web site. The web site says census forms will be distributed to households throughout February and March of 2010, with the forms due back by April 1, 2010. During the discussion at Clayton State, Mattie told participants they must answer every question on the form, if they decide to fill it out at all, and send it back to the census bureau. "If it's not completely filled out, they will flag it, and then, the enumerators come out to your house and make you fill out the rest of the form," Mattie said. When the topic turned to the more detailed questions included on past census forms, the students -- for the most part -- expressed no problems with being asked in-depth questions for statistical purposes. Mattie said that, over the years, federal agencies have asked the U.S. Census Bureau to include questions, such as whether a person is on Medicaid, or Medicare, for the statistical records of the agencies. "It's also kind of a vast database that scholars and demographers can use as a treasure trove of information," he said. Some students said they believed the demographic information was necessary for providing services, such as education, to the people who need them. But, not everyone was in support of in-depth questioning on the census form. "Can't people have a little privacy?" asked Donnarie Evers, a student. While the students discussed the privacy issue, Corrado pointed out that the information gained from the census is used to create a broad image of where the country is on several levels. "When they ask how much money Bob makes, they're asking everyone that question so they can say, 'This many people are at this income level, and this many people are at the next income level,'" Corrado said. "It's not saying, 'Bob is a poor son of a gun.' " As the 2010 census approaches, it will get some regular television exposure to help promote it. The U.S. Census Bureau recently announced that it is also working with the Spanish-language television network, Telemundo, to include a census storyline in the network's telenovela, "Más Sabe El Diablo." - On the Net: U.S. Census Bureau: www.census.gov

Montreal Cycle ChicA new photo blog in Montreal.
By Gabby Korcheva
On June 2, 2011, a new website, montrealcyclechic.com, was released as part of an initiative by Vélo Québec.
As part of a larger international Cycle Chic™ movement, this new blog was unveiled during the Montreal Bike Festival and will now be joining the ranks of about forty other cities that have their own Cycle Chic™ blog.
Creator Mikael Colville-Andersen first started this initiative in 2007 with the Copenhagen Cycle Chic and Copenhagenize blogs. Since then, he has led the way to the creation of the numerous offshoots, finally with the Montreal Cycle Chic blog.
Colville-Andersen, with a group of Montreal photobloggers that will be contributing to the new blog, attended the unveiling of the website at the Montreal Bike Fest this past May-June.
With a particular focus on bicycle fashion, the Montréal blog is all about the interplay between the beautiful old-age streets of the city and the modern and hipster trends that work so well with the bike culture.
Going through these photos, one definitely gets a feel of not only how easy it is to fit a bicycle to one's lifestyle, but also how bike-friendly Montréal really is: a vast amount of the pictures feature the BIXI bikes – rentals from the city-wide bike share program.

Creation Science Videos
By Dr. Kent E. Hovind — What difference does it make whether you believe in creation or evolution? Did the theory of evolution play any part in starting World Wars I & II? How does it relate to Communism, Socialism, Naziism, abortion, liberalism, and the New Age movement? How and why did the theory of evolution become popular so quickly in the 1800s? Did Darwin really start this crazy theory that controls our schools today? How is Satan using the philosophy of evolution to bring in his New World Order? In this series of videos, Dr. Hovind answers all those questions and many more.
A former high school science teacher, Dr. Hovind has a wonderful rapport with his audience. His humorous, fact-filled seminars are exciting and easy to understand for all ages. — Available on either video cassette or DVD — please specify which
DVD-51 THE AGE OF THE EARTH (Part 1. Two hours) $18.00
The Bible teaches that God created the universe in six literal days about 6000 years ago. Can this be true? Can it be scientifically proven that the earth is not billions of years old?

DVD-52 THE GARDEN OF EDEN (Part 2. One hour) $18.00
The Bible teaches that people before the Flood lived over 900 years. How is this possible? What was the Garden of Eden like? Were there ever cave men? Why do we find fossils that are huge compared to plants and animals today? Did dinosaurs live with Adam and Eve?
DVD-53 DINOSAURS AND THE BIBLE (Part 3. Two hours) $18.00
Discover when dinosaurs lived, how Noah fit dinosaurs in the Ark, and how they died. See where dinosaurs are reported in the Bible, in history, and even learn about the few that are alive today.
Watch this tape and see eyewitness interviews with people who claim they have seen them.
DVD-54 EVOLUTION: LIES IN THE TEXTBOOKS (Part 4. Two and a half hours) $18.00
See how evolutionists have permeated public school textbooks with false and fraudulent information simply to promote their religious worldview. Learn what you can do to stop this mass indoctrination.
Every public school student, teacher, and school board member needs to watch this tape.
DVD-55 EVOLUTION — THE FOUNDATION FOR COMMUNISM, SOCIALISM, NAZIISM, AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER (Part 5. Two one-hour sessions) $18.00
Dictators throughout history have used the evolution philosophy to rationalize their brutal actions. See how revolutionary propaganda is being used today to prepare people for the "New World Order."
DVD-56 THE HOVIND THEORY (Part 6. Two hours) $18.00
Throughout the earth, geologists and paleontologists find physical anomalies that they cannot explain with evolutionary theory. The Hovind Theory is a fascinating explanation of the Ice Age, as well as the formation of the Grand Canyon, coal and mountain ranges.
DVD-57 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Part 7. Two hours) $18.00
How does carbon dating work? Are there contradictions in the Bible? Where did the races come from? What about starlight? Learn the answers to these and many other questions not covered in any of the other Seminar tapes.

This six part (approx 30 min. each on 2 DVDs) series shows how the Bible speaks clearly to the power of the free market, dangers of inflation, and positive potential for impacting others with money. It explains the difficult subjects in easy-to-understand language while answering practical questions like: Is God a capitalist or socialist? What is deficit spending? What is "sound" money? Is there such a thing as "obscene" profits. Godonomics offers God's perspective for the economic decisions of an individual, a family, or even a nation.

Iraq faces terror of another kind
The fact that political blocs resort to violence in the country to settle scores is intolerable
- Image Credit: AP
- Iraq's Vice-President Tarek Al Hashemi. The Sunni vice-president, wanted for allegedly running a hit squad in Iraq, accuses Shiite Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki of waging a campaign against Sunnis.
Tend to your personal matters, maid dismissed due to the drawdown" read a big sign in one of Iraq's US camps a few weeks ago when the US forces withdrawal was at its height.
With the last of the US boots moving out of the country after eight years, few felt relieved, as everyone knew that Iraq's fragile stability and safety would be handed a blow.
However, very few people in Iraq today can blame Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki for his audacious moves against two of Iraq's senior politicians, Vice-President Tarek Al Hashemi and Deputy Prime Minister Saleh Al Mutlaq as both men are a reminder of the pre-2003 era, when Iraq was under the tyranny of the Baathist regime.
Al Hashemi, who is a member of the Al Iraqiya bloc, is accused of backing terrorism, and the Supreme Judicial Council in Baghdad issued an arrest warrant after a number of his bodyguards confessed to carrying out terrorist acts.
The Al Iraqiya bloc headed by Dr Ayad Allawi mishandled the problem by boycotting the parliament, which may easily lead to additional deterioration in stability and security.
Soon after the US drawdown was complete, a number of coordinated terrorist attacks in Baghdad took place leaving more than 70 dead and hundreds injured.
An extremist group, which is part of the Islamic State of Iraq, which includes Al Qaida, claimed responsibility for what they called the "Thursday raid".
Iraqi politicians need a better understanding of democracy.
The US brought democracy to Iraq, but they either did not give Iraqi politicians the manual, or Iraqis failed to listen. Hence Iraqi politicians understood US democracy in their own way.
Sadly, Iraqi politicians got it all wrong, as democracy does not mean that everyone rules. Democracy entails a joint structure in ruling, but that does not mean that everyone gets to be president.
Constructive criticism
Democracy means that there are those who rule and those who judge and offer constructive criticism, in other words, an administration and an opposition who work together as two sides of one equation for the good and prosperity of the country.
There is no such thing as a coordinated democracy, as this only exists in the minds of some politicians and political blocs in Iraq.
If such a democracy exists, why conduct elections in the first place? It would have been cheaper — as the last 2010 elections cost the Iraq an arm and a leg — and safer to meet up and choose representatives from all sects and ethnic groups in the country according to their percentage in the population.
During the past eight years, the government was only concerned with security and stability issues. All through that time, it was not judged for its performance in the development, economic, or any other sector, but rather for its ability to maintain security against the phantom of Iraq's opera.
Pending laws
The ghost looming over Iraq is called "Al Qaida" and in reality it is a cocktail of different forces —Baathists, small time highway robbers, money launderers, Iraqi militias affiliated to different political blocs, neighbouring countries with special agendas — you name them, they are there.
The danger of Al Qaida alone is tolerable, but the fact that political blocs resort to terrorism in the country to settle political scores is intolerable.
Al Qaida Inc. was successful in transforming all issues to the security folder; and frankly, who can blame the average Iraqi for judging the government through its security successes or failures, for without security, nothing works and life comes to a standstill. As a result of the competition and clashes between Iraqi politicians for ultimate power, the Iraqi Parliament has been marginalised. No laws have been passed and nothing serious takes place in the House.
After eight and a half years, the most important law for Iraq's livelihood — Iraq's oil and gas law — is still pending and may never see the light of day.
The saddest thing is that no one takes the Iraqi parliament seriously. When key officials are held accountable for their deeds in Parliament and are questioned, no serious measure is taken against them by any authority, which leaves Iraqis wondering why the questioning was conducted in the first place.
As former US General David Petraeus told me in an interview back in 2007, when Iraq was just settling down after two years of a civil war of blood, sweat and tears, "Democracy is to shout and not shoot".
Iraqi leaders have not sat seriously together to try to reach a solution regarding a country which can easily fall apart. When and if they do, the light at the end of Iraq's tunnel will become a blazing sun of hope. But until that happens, Iraq will remain a battle zone.

Jeremiah Thompson / Village of Lansing
Updated: April 24, 2014 10:08AM
The father of a 2-year-old Lansing girl has been charged with the toddler's murder, authorities said Saturday.
Jeremiah Thompson, 21, has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Jahariah Patterson, according to a Lansing news release.
About 2 p.m. Wednesday, paramedics responding to a medical emergency in the 17900 block of Wildwood Avenue found Patterson unresponsive, the statement said.
She was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:31 p.m, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
An autopsy found she died of multiple blunt force injuries from child abuse and her death was ruled a homicide, the medical examiner's office said.
Thompson was arrested after the Lansing Police Department and the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force conducted a joint investigation. A village spokeswoman confirmed Thompson is the baby's father.
The state Department of Children and Family Services was investigating the baby's father after the death, DCFS spokeswoman Karen Hawkins said Friday. He did not have legal custody of her at the time of her death, Hawkins said.
DCFS also investigated him twice before in May 2013 and July 2013, Hawkins said. Allegations in May were "unfounded," but the July investigation indicated abuse, Hawkins said.

It's a big wine. I know lots of people would suggest multi-hour decant
(like 4-8), but I'd rather err on side of caution. .Do I remember
you're taking to a restaurant? Personally, if it were me, I'd
probably decant 2-3 hours before dinner. If it seems open, gently
complete the double decant (back to bottle). If not, let it sit till
ready to leave. But that's seat of pants guessing.

The Best of New York Toy Fair 2009
The annual Toy Fair opened up at the Javits Center in New York City this weekend. Ignoring the predictable remote-control helicopters, planes, robot animals and lame board games, we still found 10 worthy gems hidden among the miles of plush toy dross. You can see our favorites in the gallery below. Here's what you're looking at:
• It's a tri-scooter. Pumgo ($300) — short for "pump and go" — is an aluminum-alloy scooter with three wheels and two pedals that you "pedal" up and down rather than around. Great for the legs.
• No more squinting into a microscope: The 3MP HiRo Cam by Premier ($190) replaces the eyepiece of any DIN-compatible microscope and lets you view your slide subject on a PC via a USB connection. There are also 1.3MP ($150) and 0.3 MP ($50) versions.
• Buy a Hot Rods-like model car ($16-$20) from 10Vox Entertainment. Enter the included code at Tracksters.com. Find an online 3D version of said car. Pimp your car. Race car against time, against your PC, against up to seven of your friends on a dozen or so tracks. For free. Zoom zoom.
• Instead of environmentally incorrect batteries, Hybrid2 and Owi vehicles use solar-power to roll or whirl or twirl or motor. They're endlessly entertainment as long as they don't encounter shade or clouds.
• If you don't consider batteries ecologically sinful, two button cells run the fourth Hex Bug Micro Robotic Creature, an ant ($10) that skitters ickly at roach-like speeds, 10 times faster than previously Hex Bugs, even if you don't turn on the lights.
• Coming this summer from Erector are five rolling and dancing robots ($20-$200) that each answer to different command sources, including your voice or your cellphone. A Skypee with a built-in webcam can be controlled and accessed via the Internet from any PC anywhere via Wi-Fi. Assembly required (hence the name of the company).
• Live In Concert isn't a promotion, it's a boombox from the subtle-named Awesome Toys that displays four holographic girls who dance to whatever music you jack into it, including karaoke. Coming with Live ($130) in the fall are cartridges featuring holograms of well-known acts in concert.
• This fall, TechnoSource will update Rubik's Cube with touch sensitivity so you can slide colors instead of turning sides, an accelerometer and internal memory to save your incomplete attempts.
• Updating the Etch-a-Sketch for the digital age is BluePixo (April, $60-$70), which has a 3.2-inch touchscreen that you can draw and paint on with the included stylus.
• And when you're done playing, curl up with Gentle Giraffe ($24-$26), the latest Cloud-b sleep-assisting plush toy. Like the company's Sleep Sheep and Dozy Dolphin, the Giraffe emits four different soothing sounds to help put you — or, better yet, your child — to sleep.

i have an intense love for duct tape. its a bit scary at times. but i was bored, had some old shoes that were falling apart. i decided to fix them with duct tape and ended up covering the entire shoe. so i now have amazing "new" shoes of epic proportions!
find some nasty old shoes, duct tape, and a sharp object. i used some tiny scissors.
take the shoelaces out. then cover the tongue in duct tape.
cover the rest of the shoe. i covered the toe then the rim of the shoe. then the rest. if your shoe has laces, cover the holes so there isn't any of the shoe showing, only duct tape.
take your sharp object and poke through the tape where the holes for the laces are.
i didn't like the white laces i had so i found some epic ones. so put the laces in and go frolic in your spiffy new duct taped shoes of amazingness

Have $1.25 million? Buy a functional flying car from the 1950s
Just because Doc Brown's future has no roads doesn't mean the dream of a flying car is dead. With flying cars like the Terrafugia, the idea still lives. But, if you absolutely must have yourself a flying car, you can buy this vintage one from the 1950s for over a million bucks.
Why is aircraft collector Greg Herrick giving up his 1954 Taylor Aerocar N-101D flying car? Speaking with the Smithsonian, Herrick says his collecting interests have changed and that he's more interested in "the golden age of aviation between the wars — in particular the aircraft that were almost lost to history."
Simply put: his collection of over 40 aircraft is starting to get too big and the Aerocar just doesn't fit in.
Designed by Moulton Taylor in 1949, the Smithsonian says that only five Aerocars were ever produced. And if you watch the video below from 1951, you'll hear it marketed as a 60 mile per hour buggy that could be changed from car to plane in minutes. "No more trouble than changing a tire and a lot more fun!"
Still sold on a flying car? Get that checkbook out and write Herrick the $1.25 million check he's asking for. Yeah, it's no Jetson flying car, but this is classic 1950 stuff!

Whether you're new to recovery, or rebounding from relapse our transitional services provide personalized one-to-one support care that help promote successful and long lasting recovery.
Acute medical treatment is the beginning process to help an individual solve their drug and alcohol problems. However, the after-care and continuation plan is equally as important. Most people are far more afraid of returning home from rehab than they are about going into treatment. Successful recovery depends upon creating a solid plan of support and recovery to recreate a healthy, passionate, joyful, spiritual and purposeful life.
Since 2006 Recovery Fusion has been the premier recovery transitional after treatment support service located in Santa Barbara, CA. We have been helping individuals strategically ease back into their fragile recovery lives with a successful daily living plan that includes crucial extended care services.
Recovery Fusion offers the best option for closing the distance from treatment to life.
Recovery Fusion offers recovery guides and addiction navigation services on set, on tour, and for corporate business clients. Many of our professional clients have high-profile careers in business and the performing arts. Recognizing the need for privacy to help fulfill pre-existing commitments, RF has developed a working solution for this familiar problem. Life and work does not stop when a person with a high-demanding career needs care. If a performer or business executive is in need of support and must fulfill contractual obligations we have developed a solution to balance both objectives. Recovery Fusion can help the client transition the process so the recoveree is able to continue or return to their work confident about their immediate responsibilities.
Our staff is both experienced and knowledgeable in the drug and alcohol recovery field. By having RF at your side in the early stages or after relapse the client is able to achieve a higher success rate of reaching long-lasting recovery. RF encourages clients to engage fully with any and all sources to find their best possible avenue to create and sustain recovery. We provide essential areas for recovery, including sobriety management, goal setting, coaching and recovery companionship. It is our responsibility to monitor, identify, motivate, encourage, support, organize, transport and most of all... advocate for your success.

Everyone knows how to drive a Warthog. Or do they? Yes, propelling the jittery jeep forward and backwards is one thing, but getting the best out of it? Well, you need to ease off on the analogue sticks, and use the Left trigger as a handbrake. If you have a gunner, making large circles with quick handbrake turns is the way to go, and it helps to slow down slightly if they have a target in sight.
Don't forget that there's a horn on the right trigger, too, if you want to attract your team-mates. The warthog can be a deadly part of a Halo team's arsenal in the right hands. Be evasive, never stay still for too long and if you're in trouble – bail!

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Nexxus Frizz Defy Leave-In Treatment with Moroccan Argan Oil
Product Review
About GHRI RatingsX
Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Nexxus Frizz Defy Leave-In Treatment with Moroccan Argan Oil received excellent scores from our consumer testers for its ability to tame frizz, but it fell short in our lab test. Not only did hair get frizzier, but we also found that it expanded over time. Still, consumer testers raved about the cream's texture and how easy it was to apply, saying that they would be happy to keep using it after our test was over.

Wikia Search Approaching Launch
Wikia Search, a search engine with free algorithms was one of last year's most eagerly awaited projects. The wait is due to end January 7.
The search engine will go online at this date, says Jimmy Wales, the initiator of Wikia Search and the founder of Wikipedia.
In contrast to known search engines, who invest considerable funds in server farms and indexing, Wales is banking on the community. He hopes that users will install a small tool on their computers to provide resources for searching the Web and returning results to a central Wikia server. Thanks to this technology, Wales hopes that it will soon be possible to achieve as many search results as Google, Yahoo, or MSN. WikiaSearch is also looking to give users the ability to filter and rate search results.
The project takes data protection very seriously: it will not interfere with the user's privacy as data that could identify search machine users cannot be stored or transfered.
One of the biggest problems is the relatively small data basis the new search machine will originally have when the project is launched. But like the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, this is sure to skyrocket the more active users the system attracts, thus helping to establish the Wikia project.

You get to work with great people and the culture is great! A lot of parties, drinking, games and fun!
It's a great resume booster, learns the ins and outs of inside sales, learn how to be bad ass on the phone!
Very stressful environment! The turnover is really high and the pay sucks! The managers put so much stress on their team that it takes away the fun from the position. You're always worried if you're going to get canned.

I worked at Yelp full-time (less than an year)Pros
There was free food and it was somewhat healthy, there is also beer for happy hour at the end of the day which is an incentive- for an immature employee distracted by bright, shiny things dangled in front of themCons
Awful pay, spread the sales team too thin by over-hiring, too much like a call center- going about it all wrong. First you start off in a group of up to 35 people and smaller groups are created. You train as one large group by watching presentations, then when you get on the phones it is strictly volume, not quality. This is where they go about it all wrong, they should focus on developing business and building client relationships to be taken more seriously.Advice to ManagementAdvice
This is where they need the most improvement. It is too easy to become a manager, it is based on numbers, not ability to manage. Account execs, and all sales teams should have territories for a long time to develop relationships and be respected as experts on Yelp Advertising. Yelp over-hires and underpays. If Yelp gave out numerous territories to each employee, and for a couple years, the businesses would not be bothered by different people calling them each month, which looks quite unprofessional. You also have to make 80 calls a day which you can fake and get around. This leads to caring more about metrics and less about numbers. SALES should be the most important, not if you aren't 100% focused and hit your metrics. Yelp has got it all wrong!Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEO

College of Human Ecology
Division of Nutritional Sciences
Kimberly O'Brien received her B.S. in Biology from the University of New Hampshire and her PhD in Nutrition from the University of Connecticut, Storrs. Her professional training included fellowships with the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Laboratory of Theoretical and Physical Biology/Section for Metabolic Analysis and Mass Spectrometry and the Children's Nutrition Research Center, Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine. Professor O'Brien joined the faculty in the Division of Nutritional Sciences after wroking for 10 years as a faculty member in the Center of Human Nutrition at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Professor O'Brien's research has centered on studies designed to better understand mineral metabolism and bone health in infants, children, and pregnant and lactating women in both developed and developing countries. To address issues of calcium metabolism, she has undertaken metabolic studies in groups including children from osteoporotic families, pregnant and lactating adolescents, and children with chronic diseases such as cystic fibrosis and HIV infection. Her current research focuses on the impact of adolescent pregnancy, particularly among minority populations, on maternal and fetal bone health, risk of anemia, vitamin D insufficiency and risk of infections, birth outcomes and nutritional status in women carrying multiples. Partitioning of nutrients between the mother and fetus is addressed at the cellular level by assessing placental mineral transporters in relation to maternal and neonatal status.
To allow for kinetic studies of human mineral metabolism, a mass spectrometry laboratory has been added to the existing resources in the Human Metabolic Research Unit. This laboratory includes instrumentation for high-sensitivity mineral stable isotope analysis using a Triton TI magnetic sector thermal ionization mass spectrometer. This laboratory also provides analytical services through collaboration with other academic institutions in the country.
I teach an undergraduate Human Anatomy and Physiology course and co-teach a graduate course on micronutrient metabolism. I am committed to promoting hands-on, investigative, opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students interested in clinical research. Our laboratory group also typically includes 15-20 undergraduates; many of whom are co-authors on the research generated. Scientific writing is emphasized and facilitated with weekly undergraduate and graduate writing groups and with weekly meetings for all on-site and off-site study personnel. Graduate and post-doctoral students gain mentoring experience by providing guidance in methods development and data analysis to undergraduate laboratory students.

Asahi Kasei reports fall in profits
7:35 AM MST | February 5, 2013 | Deepti Ramesh
Asahi Kasei reported a 25.9% fall in net profits for the fiscal first 9 months, ended 31 December 2012, compared with the year-ago period, to ¥35.6 billion ($386 million). Sales increased 2.8%, to ¥1.2 trillion. The global economic situation remained challenging during April–December 2012, with the continuing effects of the European sovereign debt crisis and the slowing growth in China and other emerging economies, Asahi says. Although reconstruction demand following the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March 2011 was a positive factor, the...

"Loved how my announcement turned out. The paper quality of the cards and envelopes were excellent. The long shape of the card, I feel, made it unique."
"This is the first time we had ever ordered anything like this online and it was so easy! The cards came earlier than expected, which was a nice surprise. The quality of the envelopes was perfect, and we went with the basic option. My only negative comment is that the photo looked darker when it was finally printed than it did on the computer, but that was probably an oversight on our part."
"...that I didn't buy more! These cards surpassed my expectations! I had previously ordered birth announcements from another company and had to return them because they were hideous. After I got my money back I bought these. I wish I had ordered these first, it would have saved me a lot of time. I liked how simple the design was; once I put my information in it really looked like the card was designed just for him! I ordered two separate prints, one in English and one in Spanish, both look wonderful. The thick cardstock looks professional so I recommend using a high quality picture to match. Oh, and save yourself time and money by ordering more than what you think you'll need. Once I saw the cards I wanted to show off my baby by giving one to EVERYONE!"
"We love this sweet card for our son's announcement. We used a picture we took and then had the free design help/review and truly, it's just adorable. Our friends and family love it! Looks very professional and more expensive."
"This birth announcement turned out great! The paper quality was better than I expected. The photo print quality was nice. The colors (blue and green) on the card were very vivid and nice. I am extremely pleased with them!"

America's Best Bites Films at Miami's Favorite Restaurants (Photos)
|Richard Hales
|Sakaya Kitchen's Bulgogi Burger gets ready for a close-up.
The crew has been around town filming at Michael's Genuine Food and Drink, The Rolling Stove food truck, La Camaronera, Buena Vista Bistro, and Fratelli Milano this past week.
Yesterday, the crew caught up with Sakaya Kitchen's Richard Hales to feature his bulgogi burger as part of their search for America's best burger.
Natalie Forte, one of the show's hosts, was on hand to enjoy Richard Hale's meaty creation, interview restaurant guests and pretty much gush over Hales's food. The crew filmed from about 4 to 9 p.m., with Forte even drawing hearts with Sakaya's spicy mayonnaise.
America's Best Bites will premiere sometime in September and can be seen locally on WSFL Channel 39. We'll keep you posted on when you can see our favorite local chefs on the small screen. For now, take a look at some behind-the-scenes photos of the shoots.

Health Tip: Set Swimming Safety Rules
(HealthDay News) -- Establishing strict rules about use of the swimming pool can help protect your loved ones and prevent drowning.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Protection offers these swimming safety guidelines:
Ensure that everyone around the water knows how to swim.
Equip swimmers with life jackets, if needed.
Stay close and pay constant attention to swimmers.
If you're supervising swimmers, know how to perform CPR.
Make sure there's a fence or barrier that keeps people away from the pool when it's not in use.

Each and every day, I'll be combing over box scores and scouring local beat writers' reports to make sure you have all the information you need in order to make the right decisions for your fantasy baseball lineup. Make sure you check back at this very spot for Hot/Cold Streaks, Injury News, Closer Updates, Daily Stats, and more so that you can stay one step ahead of the rest of your league.
As always, make sure you're getting your daily fantasy sports fix by playing the FP911Challenge! Don't know how to play? Dan Stack's got you covered with a quick tutorial and some tips for Week 9.
Looking Back
Before we get to today's games, let's take a spin through last night's box scores to identify the Studs and Duds from Thursday, May 31st.
5 Good Nights
- Carlos Gonzalez:Â 3-4, 3 R, HR, 3 RBI, 1 steal
- Quintin Berry:Â 3-5, 2 R, RBI, 2 steals
- Delmon Young:Â 3-5, R, Â HR, 2 RBI
- Michael Cuddyer:Â 3-4, 2 R, 3 RBI
- Zack Greinke: 6.0 IP, 9 H, 1 ER, 7 K's, W
Honorable Mention: Aramis Ramirez, Marco Scutaro, Jordan Pacheco, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Jed Lowrie, Jose Altuve, Miguel Cabrera
5 Bad Nights
- Bud Norris:Â 1.2 IP, 7 H, 9 ER, 3 BB's, 2 K's
- Jeremy Guthrie:Â 7.0 IP, 12 H, 5 ER, 1 K, W
- Anthony Bass: 6.0 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 2 BB's, 8 K's
- Andre Ethier: 0-5
- Norichika Aoki:Â 0-5

Daily Grab Bag
Check back here for daily updates on injuries, closer battles, player news, and anything else that might affect your fantasy baseball team.
- Troy Tulowitzki (groin) was placed on the 15-day disabled list yesterday after leaving Wednesday night's game.
- Yoenis Cespedes (hand) is expected to be activated for tonight's game against Kansas City.
- Dustin Pedroia (thumb) has yet to placed on the disabled list, but the rumors swirling around Boston indicate that the Red Sox will do so if his condition doesn't improve within the next day or two.
- Huston Street (lat) is due to begin a rehab assignment and could return to the Padres within the next two weeks. It might be smart to check your waivers to see if any owners in your league got impatient with the Padres' closer.
- Trout/Harper Watch: With two of baseball's best prospects being called-up recently, I'm going to dedicate this space to keeping tabs on the youngsters for the near future. Here's to hoping that you were able to grab one (or both)!
Bryce Harper: The Nationals did not play yesterday. (.274, 21 R, 4 HR, 11 RBI, 2 steals on the season).
Mike Trout: The Angels did not play yesterday (.303, 21 Runs, 5 HR, 16 RBI, 8 steals on the season).

July 14 (Bloomberg) -- Gold futures rose to a record for the second straight day on speculation that debt woes in the U.S. and Europe will escalate, boosting the appeal of the precious metal as a haven. Silver climbed to a nine-week high.
Moody's Investors Service said the U.S. may lose the Aaa credit rating held since 1917. Fitch Ratings said that a default in Greece is a "real possibility." The dollar headed for the third consecutive drop against a basket of currencies.
"Gold is going higher on a witch's brew of debt crisis, further stimulus, a weaker dollar and a loss of confidence in paper currencies and government," Matthew Zeman, a strategist at Kingsview Financial in Chicago, said in a telephone interview.
On the Comex in New York, gold futures for August delivery rose $3.80, or 0.2 percent, to settle at $1,589.30 an ounce at 1:43 p.m. Earlier, the price reached a record $1,594.90.
The metal pared gains after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke told Congress today that the central bank is not prepared "at this point" to offer more stimulus to the economy.
The Fed is prepared to take additional action if the economy appears to be in danger of stalling, Bernanke said yesterday. He said a failure by Congress to raise the nation's $14.3 trillion debt limit would lead to a "major crisis" and throw "shock waves" through the financial system.
"Gold took a bit of a slide on Bernanke's attempt to clarify his statements" on a third round of so-called quantitative easing, Zeman said. "It's not an option that's by any means off the table. If we don't see improvement in the economy by the third quarter, then we're still going to see QE3."
The U.S. was put on a credit-rating review for the first time since 1996 on concern that the debt threshold will not be raised in time to prevent a missed payment of interest or principal, Moody's said.
President Barack Obama and congressional leaders have failed to reach a compromise on reducing deficits and raising the debt ceiling. The government will exceed its borrowing authority on Aug. 2, the Treasury Department has said.
"If you don't have a miraculous solution to all the world's problems out there, then gold has to go higher," Frank McGhee, the head dealer at Integrated Brokerage Services in Chicago, said in a telephone interview. "There's massive safe- haven buying into gold."
$2,000 Forecast
The metal may surge to $2,000 if the Fed starts a third round of U.S. debt purchases, Michael Pento, a senior economist at Euro Pacific Capital Inc., said yesterday in a telephone interview. "People will be forced into buying gold."
Silver futures for September delivery rose 54.3 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $38.694 an ounce. Earlier, the most-active contract reached $39.395, the highest since May 11. On April 25, the metal surged to $49.845, a 31-year peak.
This year, the price will climb to $62, topping the record $50.35, McGhee of Integrated Brokerage said. "Silver is still cheap compared with gold," he said.
Palladium futures for September delivery fell 65 cents to $783.35 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Platinum futures for October delivery rose $7.30, or 0.4 percent, to $1,774.30 an ounce.
