The industry's first comprehensive high-availability solution for protecting data in the cloud, ProtectV enables you to unify encryption and control across virtualized and cloud environments, improving your business agility and lowering your costs by securely migrating even your most private, highly regulated data to the cloud.
Organizations can be safe in the knowledge that they retain access to and control of encryption keys at all times. In addition, ProtectV enables organizations to address the specific security and compliance requirements in cloud environments.
Security of sensitive and regulated data has been a barrier to further virtualization of the data center. This reduces the cost savings enterprises can achieve by further virtualizing their data centers and limits their business agility including the ability to leverage the cloud in the future.
Security of sensitive data is the number one barrier to cloud migration. Without the ability to maintain security and compliance in an environment they don't control, enterprises can't leverage the dramatically lower costs made possible by moving workloads to the cloud.
Whether using Amazon Web Services EC2 for easy-to-scale capacity or taking advantage of Amazon VPC to run AWS resources in a virtual network, or VMware EC2 in your virtual data center, ProtectV ensures cloud-ready security.
ProtectV encrypts entire virtual machine instances and attached storage volumes. Moreover, no virtual machine instance can be launched without proper authorization from ProtectV StartGuard pre-boot authentication.

Bulls Look for Enbridge to Bounce
By David Russell, reporter at OptionMonster
NEW YORK -- Pipeline company Enbridge Energy (EEP) is drawing bullish option activity.
OptionMonster's tracking programs Friday showed the purchase of about 2,800 December 27.50 calls, most of which priced for 85 cents. Volume was more than 50 times open interest at the strike, indicating that new positions were initiated.
Those calls lock in $27.50 as the purchase price on EEP shares in the next five weeks, no matter how high the stock goes. That will provide significant leverage in the event of a rally, but the contracts will lose all their value from even a modest decline.Enbridge's stock rose 2.36% to $28.25 on Friday and is trying to build support around the same $27.50 area where it bounced in June. The stock had peaked above $30 earlier this month. Total option volume in the name was five times greater than average in the session, with calls outnumbering puts by a bullish 32 to 1. Russell has no positions in EEP.

A Great Paragraph
Wednesday, October 14, 2009
From the inimitable Joe Posnanski:
Babe Ruth on steroids (and with a better workout plan) might have hit 100 home runs in a season. And Josh Gibson, with no color barrier, might have hit 120. And Walter Johnson with a split-fingered fastball might have struck out 400 in a season. And Zack Greinke, transported to 1968 Detroit, might have had 30 wins and a 1.33 ERA. And Duane Kuiper, in Coors Field, might have hit .300. It's a great game, this baseball. So many possibilities.

Okay, here's the thing. All this time we've always fed them the blue block (Cobalt, Iodine, NaCl), simply because that's pretty much the only block that we've known to use, really.
But now we're starting to think about changing that, like using a different block with more minerals, things like that.
Yesterday, went to town to get some blocks, and decided to try those red blocks-the Iodized salt block with Calcium Iodate, Ferric Oxide, salt, and active Iodine (I think that's what it is, on the label it's "Act. Iodine (1) 150mg/Kg")
But, I got some labels from some other blocks to do a little research:
-Selenium Gold 120-20 kg forified trac mineralized salt with selenium for beef cattle, with: salt, zinc, manganese, copper, iron, selenium, iodine and cobalt; and
-Medi-Bloc -trace mineralized stock salt, with: salt, zinc, iron, manganese, copper, iodine and cobalt.
I looked at the website of the company who makes these (Sifto Canada), and they don't really have much, just ingredients, a short little blurb of what it's essential for, and feeding directions. ( http://www.siftocanada.com/products/feedsalts.html )
I know that the selenium trace mineral block is best for us since we're in a selenium defficient area, but the Medi-bloc doesn't have the selenium, but it does have the rest of the minerals that a trace mineral block has, and using my introductory An Sc nutrition "knowledge", that both these two blocks are maybe the best...maybe one more than the other...
I know I got a little long-winded here (kinda thinking out loud, y'know), but I was wondering what any of you think would be best for beef steers up here, especially between the three/four blocks I mentioned?
Actually the red colored blocks, dont have enough minerals in them to meet some animals needs. Thus, they will usually spend time at a block untill they feel satisfied. I was feeding corn meal only, with access to one of the salt block/mineral blocks (red colored) blocks. The Nutritionist that came to take some forage samples said that those blocks have trace minerals in them. The way to meet their needs is through grain. But thats her, and there isn't a way for me to confirm this.
A selenium block and those red blocks (morton is what we used, my mother buys redman blocks now, mortons lasted a lot longer. But the redmans I guess are natural), is what I have used.
But as far as a block goes, and the majority of people use the red morton blocks here, never seen the purple blocks, some also use the green selenium blocks, along side the red morton blocks.
"Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death" Patrick Henry, March 23rd, 1775
Ideally a block would be tailed to meet your soil conditions. However, they can vary widely within even one county. I'd recommend you take your soil sample analysis to your County Ag Agent and ask for their recommendation. I know the local one now says to make a yellow salt block available also as the soils are starting to become sulfur deficient from the result of cleaning up smoke stack emmisions.
Tip: The blocks last a lot longer if you don't take off the plastic.
Why not put out several different types and see what the animal prefers???
Most animals will gravitate to what they are lacking and you can probably pick up on that by which block disappears the quickest...
If your presence can't add value to my life your absence will make no difference...
(名)三位一體; 三個一組; 三人一組
Another idea is a lick. They have selenium, and all the minerals in there they need. One problem with a lick is the fact it is molasses, and they might over eat it. But if you control them, allow them in to lick for an hour a day, you might see better results over the blocks. But it is more expensive than the blocks, but if you regulate it, it can cost the same.
I am not a fan of blocks at all.
I would suggest you go to your local feed store (not a big box type, but a real feed store) and ask what mixes of loose mineral they have.
I used to use blocks in the past. After I changed, mineral intake went way up. The biggest difference that I see is in calving ease. They come out bigger and healthier.
Your mileage may vary.
Salt blocks are too limiting due to the difficulty associated with the consumption. I feed only loose mineralized salt iin order to permit the cattle to consume enough to meet their needs. Mineral salt in the loose form is available to my animals 24/7. My cattle consume approximately 30 lbs per animal per year.
If they can do it,
you know you can!
The red blocks are TRACE minerals only. These are minerals that are only needed in minescule quantitys. Use them along with loose mineral without salt.
Redmond Minerals mined in Utah bulk bagged or compressed block. Kelp. Desert Dyna-min www.agri-dynamics.com. Fertrell minerals..Just somemore ideas. Happy New years to Ya's...
Remember when speaking to someone you may be speaking to the very person you think you are.
Well, the loose mineral might be a better choice, it's just the matter of getting the proper loose-mineral-salt holder (which shouldn't be a problem).
We've NEVER went to those box stores like Walmart (never have, never will), the only places we get our stock salt are the feed stores Peavey Mart and UFA (United Farmers of Alberta) (both are Canadian). The red block that we have out now is the Iodized block with just Iodine and salt: no trace minerals, like your's tinkal. The trace-mineral stock salt that's available thru Peavey and the UFA is a grey block (Medi-bloc), and they also sell the Medi-Boot loose mineral trace-mineral salt bags. They also got the cobalt loose mineral, but we've been feeding that (in block form) for a loooong while.
Peavey's stock salt: http://126.96.36.199/MorePromo/Ag/HtoS/salt.html
Now, another question: is the loose mineral more expensive than the blocks?
The price of blocks and loose, with both having the same ingredients, are the same. The consumption will be greater with the loose. That should be acceptable as that is the reason you are making it available, for the benefits. I make my feeders. A 24.5 inch large truck tire and a US 55 Gallon plastic drum are a slip fit. I use a circular saw to cut a hole in the side of the drum. 3 each pieces of 3 inch length of 3 x 3 x 1/4 inch angle iron are drilled with a 3/8 inch hole in each side. The 3 pieces of angle are place 120 degrees apart and a stainless bolt in inserted in the barrel and the sides walls of the tire. Mount the angle to the tires after establishing the bolt location and then insert the drum into the tire. Use the remaining holes in the angle iron as a guide and drill through into the barrel. Insert the bolts and secure the nuts through the access hole of the barrel. You now have a better feeder than you can buy and the cattle cannot turn it over. I sometimes install an eyebolt through the tread part of the tire so that I can pull the feeder with my 4 wheeler to my paddocks or to a different area when the pasture starts getting worn.
agmantoo, please post a pic.

"No great thing is created suddenly." ~Epictitus
Rose, I do not have a pic at this time. If it doesn't rain I will get one however. I am also working on an improved version of the device. During winter, cattle lice become more prevelent and I am working to make a device to dribble permethrin based insecticide on the cattles shoulders when the cattle use the mineral feeder.
Yes PLEEAAAZZE post a pic!! You got me lost there after a couple sentences!
And thanks for the price differentiation.
Circumstances vary so much over the country that it is hard to say just what is needed, so you probably SHOULD consult some local authority.
Here is my observation from N. Texas and SE Oklahoma. Cattle will use more plain white salt than mineralized salt when given salt blocks. Same with loose salt and mineral salt equivalent to the blocks.
However; one of the big suppliers (cannot think of the name right now) makes a salt/mineral mix that is varied for the season. One for lush spring pastures with magnesium; another for ordinary summer grass pasture and a third for cattle on hay and winter pasture.
When I went to that mix (pricey, about $l5 per bag) my cows acted like gluttons for a couple of days; now I see them at it regularly but not much more than when on white salt. The manufacturer says that they will taper off.
I buy the stuff despite the price because the cattle seem to thrive on it AND because it is pelleted and coated with a water block. It can be left out in the rain without damage. I feed it in a hanging barrel that turns into the wind, but water still finds its way inside the barrel. With the pelleted salt mix it does not matter.

My Values
I believe that life experiences are meant to be shared, if humanity is to grow.
I believe that the best games to be created have yet to be crafted.
I believe that to have a future rich in experiences I can enjoy, I need to share the lessons that have gotten me this far.
I believe that you are a person of patience, insight and reflection who can grow faster if you reflect on my mistakes.
By openly accepting my mistakes and by expressing my feelings - be them proud, humble or erratic, I will become better at sharing who I am with the many people who've intersected with my life.
By breaking down and reflecting upon past lessons, I will more thoroughly understand what I've actually done.
By praising the others who've taught me lessons, I will remember how vital the little guiding nudges of a good working environment can transform a life.
By discussing the stories that helped me become who I am, I will help shatter the myth that good game design is a product of magic, not hard work and forgiven mistakes.
I happen to be writing blog posts and making video games. Care to check them out?

HOPKINS COUNTY, Ky. (4/28/14) — The City of Madisonville, in partnership with Baptist Health and the Hopkins County Tourist and Convention Commission, announces that the 14th anniversary of the free concert series, Friday Night Live, kicks off Friday, June 13 in downtown Madisonville with a new earlier start time of 5 p.m. and more vendor spaces available.
This year the Friday Night Live events take place June 13, July 11, and August 8 with activities from 5 - 10 p.m., each evening.
Daron Jordan, Community Development Director for the City of Madisonville, stated "We are pleased to continue the partnership with Baptist Health and the Hopkins County Tourist and Convention Commission to present the 2014 edition of Friday Night Live. With these partnerships, we can continue to promote the downtown area as a place of community gathering and to grow this annual event. The popularity of Friday Night Live continues to grow due in no small part through these community collaborations that help underwrite the annual costs associated with hosting Friday Night Live and allowing it to remain a no charge event." Jordan also stated, "Media and community partnership play a very important role in the success of the event and allow us to promote Friday Night Live throughout the region. The media and community partners that have signed on for the 2014 FNL series include; the Messenger, ESPN Radio 1310 AM, 106.9 FM WTTL, Howdy 97.7, Power Rock 93.9 WKTG, WFMW 730 AM, SurfKY Newsgroup, Hampton Inn & Suites, Madisonville Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce, Glema Mahr Center for the Arts."
The 2014 edition of Friday Night Live will include a 5 p.m. start time (1 hour earlier than previous years) in order to allow more local acts to perform. Jordan noted that "the area is rich in musical talent and the ability to showcase more of this local talent, plus community requests to extend the length of the FNL events, led to providing the extra hour of entertainment." In response to requests for more vendor space availability Jordan confirmed that the location for vendors moves from Court Street to East Center Street.
This summer many of the events that have been popular in previous years return to coincide with Friday Night Live.
The events include the Hopkins County UK Alumni 5K road race and 1 ½ mile fun-walk in June, the Motorcycle Cruise - in/Show in July and the Classic Car Show organized by the Show - N - Go Car Club in August. Like previous summers the Crime Stoppers will again have their annual campaign kickoff at the June 2 Page event and the United Way will host their annual campaign kickoff at the August event. All three Friday Night Live events will again feature the Fire Department's Kids Obstacle Course and a "Beer Garden" sponsored by the Madisonville Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce. This year's entertainment will have some familiar groups return as "Barry Potter and the Hoscats," "Ray Ligon," and "The Pat Ballard Band," will all perform in June. In addition, Hopkins County native "Boscoe" France, the 2012 Guitar Center Battle of the Blues national contest winner, will headline in July.
Wrapping up the summer will be a commemoration to the 50th anniversary of the "Beatles U.S. Invasion" as the "Sweat Beats" (a Beatles tribute band) close out the summer series. The remaining musical acts will be announced at a later date.
Friday Night Live also helps local non-profits, schools, and church groups raise funds by allowing them to set up booths during the event. Jordan noted, "The event has gained great popularity with local non-profits and we generally sell out of vendor space for the whole summer by the middle of May. This year we have added additional vendor space to accommodate the increase in requests. Potential vendors need to remember that vendor food sales are restricted to only local non-profit organizations. However, we do allow other entities to sale non-food related items as long as they have a City of Madisonville business license."
All vendor spaces are reserved on a first come, first reserved space and do not have access to power or water hookups. Fees for vendor spaces vary depending on vendor status as a non-profit or not. Potential vendors are encouraged to not delay in getting their vendor application submitted in order to secure their spot.Information about the upcoming Friday Night Live series, and more information about renting vendor space, can be found by visiting the City of Madisonville's Facebook page or website and checking out the Friday Night Live link that is found under the Community Development tab.

Pedal powered wheelchair doesn't make sense
While I'm sure there are a few wheelchair bound people who still have full use of their legs, it seems logical to conclude that most people who need the use of a wheelchair will also have a tough time pedaling. The Pedalofit from England's Speedy Bikes lets you take a regular non-powered wheelchair, and attach a third front wheel with a seven speed pedal assembly along with handlebars and hand brakes
Speedy also makes a range of both hand and motor driven wheelchair add-ons, most of which make far more sense than the Pedalofit. Speedy is a British company, and it's not clear whether their products are available outside the UK.

Ashes 2013: England batsman Kevin Pietersen in his own words
What adjective would you use to describe England batsman Kevin Pietersen?
Brash? Arrogant? Ostentatious, perhaps? Hold on a minute, did someone say introverted?
"I've got this reputation of being confident, yet I go and do all these psychology tests and I'm an introvert," Pietersen tells his former team-mate Andrew Flintoff in an interview to be aired on BBC Radio 5 live on Tuesday at 20:30 BST.
Pietersen factfile
- Born: 27 June 1980 in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa
- England debut: After qualifying to play for England through the Kolpak rule, scored an unbeaten 27 when making his bow in the one-day international win against Zimbabwe on 28 November 2004
- Test record: Scored 7,499 runs in 94 matches, at an average of 49.01
- One-day internationals record: Scored 4,369 runs in 132 matches, at an average of 41.60
- Twenty20 record: Scored 1,176 in 37 matches, at an average of 37.93
- Ashes record: Scored 1,476 runs in 17 Tests against Australia
"I'm very much an introverted person. I like my own company, my own family. I don't really go out much.
"I think the confidence has grown from what I've achieved on the cricket field but I'm not as confident as anybody thinks."
The disarming revelation is one of many in Pietersen's fascinating chat with Flintoff, a player with whom he occasionally clashed during the years they shared an England dressing room.
In it, Pietersen talks about growing up in South Africa unaware of what the Ashes were, his see-saw relationship with Shane Warne, his ill-fated spell as captain and his regret over the silly shots that have left him looking "a complete mug" at times.
He opens up about England captains past and present, relives the anguish of injuries and loss of form and reaffirms his ambition to clock up 10,000 Test runs.
Like many top sportsmen, Pietersen is public property, someone we think we know much better than we actually do.
This interview goes behind the bling and the bravado to reveal an insecurity over his image, a recognition of his faults, a light-heartedness - he calls Flintoff "chubby" at one point - and perhaps less surprisingly, an absolute obsession with his performance on the field of play.
After leaving South Africa in protest against the racial quota system - which insisted on a certain number of non-white players in every team - and qualifying to play for England through the Kolpak rule, Pietersen announced himself with three one-day centuries against the country of his birth in early 2005.
He went on to play a decisive role in England's historic Ashes victory over Australia later that year, making back-to-back fifties on his Test debut at Lord's and sealing the series with a breathtaking 158 at The Oval.
The sheer audacity with which Pietersen took on the team that had dominated the game for more than a decade was jaw-dropping, but as he reveals to Flintoff, his close relationship with Australian talisman Warne - they were team-mates at Hampshire - was one of the major reasons why he settled so quickly into Ashes cricket.
"Having the great Shane Warne as my mate, walking onto the field and not having him hammer me from first slip, but just laugh and have a joke helped a lot," says Pietersen.
"I think I could have been fearful playing Australia but because this huge figure was a mate of mine, it calmed things down."
There was nothing calm about the celebrations that followed England's Ashes win as the players famously partied the night away before arriving at a Downing Street reception the next morning somewhat the worse for wear.
One photograph shows a sozzled-looking Flintoff and Pietersen arm in arm outside Number 10, the former with eyelids sagging over reddened pupils and the latter looking bedraggled with a loose tie, sunglasses and a haircut which he jokingly refers to as "the skunk".
As they reminisce over the mayhem, Pietersen is less certain than Flintoff that he would do the same again.
"The reason I don't enjoy [looking back] is that I can't remember it," he says.
"We probably deserved it because we had just beaten Australia and I think winning series like that need to be enjoyed but I also remember beating Australia in Australia and winning the World Twenty20 in the Caribbean and thinking 'do you know what, just enjoy it, just walk around and take it in'.

"I will never forget Barbados, and I will never forget Sydney. In 2005 the emotions took over and we ended up all over the place that evening, but I haven't done it that way since."
After the boozing came the backlash, and the painful memory for both players of the 5-0 whitewash by Australia in the return Ashes series down under. With Warne now very much foe not friend, and Flintoff struggling with the demands of captaincy, England were blown away.
"When Australia were looking at what had gone wrong in 2005 one of the things they put it down to was Warne's relationship with me and they said that had to change," says Pietersen, 33.
"He threw the ball twice at me in Brisbane and our discussions got really, really personal in the middle. Off the field he called me Kevin, not KP or PK. It had totally changed."
Despite the provocation from Warne, Pietersen enjoyed a prolific series with the bat, averaging more than 54. His reaction to the defeat, however, hinted at the friction with his team-mates that flared up so spectacularly last year.
"I was extremely disappointed - I didn't deal with it the right way," he admits.
"I don't think I related to it in Australia - because I got 500 runs and I was thinking 'why did we get smashed?' I don't think that went down well with some people."
In one of the most introspective sections of the interview, Pietersen explains that he learnt to deal with the failings of his team-mates when he was going through a bad patch of his own in 2010.
"Until you go through the depths of despair as a sportsman you don't understand the good stuff or the bad stuff," he says.
"The hardest time was on a Bangladesh tour in 2010. I didn't know which end of the bat to hold. I just couldn't hit the ball and I ended up sitting on a bus and thinking 'where is my career going to go?'"
Pietersen timeline
- November 2004: Makes England one-day international debut against Zimbabwe.
- August 2008: Replaces Michael Vaughan as Test captain and Paul Collingwood as one-day skipper.
- January 2009: Resigns as England captain following reports of a rift with coach Peter Moores.
- May 2012: Retires from one-day and Twenty20 internationals - a decision he later makes a U-turn on.
- August 2012: Apologises after admitting sending "provocative" text messages to members of the South Africa team. Pietersen does not play another international match for England until November.
- March 2013: Ruled out of the final Test in New Zealand because of a knee injury, which keeps him out of the Champions Trophy.
Fortunately for England, a spell in South Africa with his mentor Graham Ford soon put things right and set Pietersen up for one of the most prolific periods of his career.
There was a double-hundred in Adelaide in England's 3-1 Ashes triumph in 2010-11, another at Lord's in the 4-0 whitewash of India in 2011, and four more hundreds before a knee injury sidelined him in March.
They included the defiant 149 against South Africa at Headingley last year, before the discovery of his "provocative" text messages to the opposition dressing room saw him dropped for the final Test at Lord's, and the brilliant 186 against India in Mumbai that confirmed his "reintegration" into the England side.
That century was Pietersen's 22nd in Tests, briefly taking him alongside Wally Hammond, Colin Cowdrey, Geoffrey Boycott and current captain Alastair Cook at the top of England's all-time list.
Pietersen describes the less extravagant but more consistent Cook - who has since taken his own tally of tons to 25 - as "such a nice guy" who will go down as "one of the greatest cricketers in terms of statistics to have ever played the game".
As for his own legacy, in a closing passage to the interview tinged with regret, he concedes that his tendency towards showmanship may leave him short of his ultimate ambitions.
"I've always said I just want to get the best out of my talent and when I've finished my career I just want to say I've done the best that I possibly could," he explains.
"But I know that because of the way I play I'm not going to have done the best I could because I get myself out for 20, 40, 60 or 70 all the time. That will be the man on the shoulder that says I think you've done OK, but…"
KP, in his own words. Introverted? No chance. Interesting? Certainly.

@112.beardsmoreforengland, from my perspective, I wouldnt have batted an Eyelid, mainly because I'd never heard of him before 2005, so he would have just been another Saffa.
The fact remains though he nailed his colours to the post when he first put on the three lions from that moment he was an english batsman.

it becomes a rant when you repeatedly drone on about the same subject on multiple different articles dozens of times. I doubt the england selectors post here, nor any politicians that may be able to influence changes to the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act.

Pietermaritzburg is affectionately known to those who live there as the last outpost of the British Empire. I used to live there and even my Afrikaans relations only spoke English. Maritzburg College is typical of English public schools & KP's formative years would have been very English based. It's just not cricket to continue going on about where he was born.

114 - "rant"? I don't think you know the meaning of the word. My post was a sensible, moderately expressed question. If you think that's a rant then you're a sensitive flower and a half.

Stosur's run ends as Italian surprisesPUBLISHED: 07 Jun 2010 00:07:00 | UPDATED: 10 Jun 2010 06:37:17PUBLISHED: 07 Jun 2010 PRINT EDITION: 07 Jun 2010
Samantha Stosur's quest to end Australia's drought at the French Open came to a sticky end at the hands of an inspired Francesca Schiavone.
The theatrical Italian produced the performance of her life on the weekend to upset Stosur 6-4 7-6 (7-2) in the Roland Garros final.
No Australian has claimed a French Open singles title in 37 years and it is still three decades since the nation produced a women's grand slam singles champion.
Considering Stosur's brilliant form in Paris and that she had cleaned up Schiavone in straight sets in their previous four matches, the result in the one hour and 38 minute contest was a major boilover.
The Italian set up the win with a well-executed plan, beginning with her serve being surprisingly more effective than Stosur's. She scampered down shots from the Queenslander that looked like winners off the racquet, aggressively put pressure on Stosur's backhand and was excellent at the net, winning 14 points from 15 trips.
Stosur was far from disgraced but she failed to grab some of the key moments in front of a crowd of nearly 15,000 at Court Philippe Chatrier.
She graciously said Schiavone had been the better player and that she was proud of her efforts in defeating big guns Justine Henin, Serena Williams and Jelena Jankovic .
"I can only look at it as a great two weeks," Stosur said.
"To make my first final was fantastic, and to beat the players that I did to get to that point and everything, it's missing that one thing and that's winning at the end."
The 29-year-old Schiavone got down and dirty after the final point, collapsing on her back before rolling over to kiss the clay for the third straight match on centre court.
Schiavone's win made her the first Italian woman to claim a grand slam singles title and the oldest female first-timer at Roland Garros.
Normally players need to be chaperoned up to their press conferences but a delighted Schiavone was happy to make the trip unassisted with the Suzanne Lenglen Cup in her possession.
Stosur's serve looked unplayable early but the Italian chipped away before making a telling break in the ninth game and wrapping up the first set in 40 minutes.
Stosur bounced back to seize a 4-1 lead before Schiavone clawed back and forced the set into a tiebreak.
Sensing the finishing line, Schiavone saved some of her best tennis for the final stages, seizing an early mini-break off the back of a deft drop shot from Stosur's first serve.
"I was feeling much more energy and more and more and more," Schiavone said.
"I couldn't stop it. I felt it was my moment. I took it."

Lombardi Clinics
Blood and Bone Marrow Transplantation
The bone marrow transplantation program at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center is committed to both clinical and laboratory research.
The clinical realm involves allogeneic transplantation using matched related donors, unrelated donors and cord blood transplantations. One particularly active area of research is in high-risk breast cancer patients. We have been evaluating the use of immune therapy following high dose chemotherapy and stem cell infusions since 1994.
In the laboratory, the researchers and physicians are evaluating ways to stimulate a patient's immune system after transplantation using the patient's own cells. This type of therapy has extended to treatment of breast cancer and hematologic malignancies, including the lymphomas. We are also working in collaboration with other institutions evaluating new therapies for multiple myeloma.

Taser XREP delivers wireless shocks from 100 feet away
This Taser XREP can deliver a wireless electric shock from over 100 feet away, and from the looks of it, you don't want to be on its receiving end. Its Neuro-Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) is the same disabling effect delivered by wired Taser weapons. Loaded into an ordinary 12-gauge shotgun, it's designed into a 14-gram package small enough to fit into a gun barrel, yet it can travel at 300 feet per second.
As the self-contained XREP wireless Taser round exits the shotgun barrel, three fins pop out to stabilize it as it flies through the air. Its four electrodes on the front each have a barb that can penetrate clothing and embed itself into the body of its victim. It will continue shocking its victim for 20 seconds, giving the officers enough time to apprehend the suspect. Field testing for this scary weapon begins this fall, but it probably won't go into widespread use until a year later. We'll behave ourselves, officer, but please, just point that thing somewhere else.

How I got here AGAIN! - page 2
Well here goes, first time I have done a first step in a long time. As it is 0400 I hope y'all don't mind me using this forum to get some stuff out. I dragged myself into the doors of AA in September of 1987 (ya 23 years... Read More
- 1Dec 20, '10 by AimeepawsRNWow! 12 steps saved my life. Addiction is a disease. Hey Jack, where are you and can you provide that info on addiction and how it is a disease? I am sure there are plenty of anti 12 step blogs out there for the individuals that feel it is a cult. For the individuals that have become sober without the 12 steps and stayed clean, great!!! I believe that everyone has their own way of healing and to call AA groups a "cult" is extremley offensive. Have a wonderful holiday everyone!
- 14Dec 20, '10 by rn/writer Guide"Willpower vs. disease" is a needless distraction that wastes a lot of time and energy on a distinction that accomplishes nothing.
For those uncomfortable with the word "disease," you can substitute the word "condition." Some people are born with the innate tendency to crave alcohol and become dependent on it with little provocation. Others may have begun life with less susceptibility, but choices over time have rendered them unable to easily walk away from a drink or ten.
The vulnerability is a given. Whether it existed genetically from birth or developed gradually is moot. Once it's there, it's there and the person doesn't have a choice about whether or not to feel the pull any more than a block of iron can resist magnetic attraction.
The desire, the craving, the pull--that's the condition (aka disease).
No amount of willpower can enable a person to decide not to have the condition. You don't get to decide you won't have the desire or the craving. You do get to make choices about how you will manage your life with the condition. And even this is incredibly difficult for many.
AA may not be the right solution for everyone, but it has helped so many to get honest and be accountable to others who understand the corroded thinking and mental games that precede the destructive choices. To call it a cult is to impugn an organization that has done an incredible amount of good simply because it doesn't fit everyone.
I see the "condition vs. willpower" debate as about as useful as asking people if they walk with their right foot or their left. You can probably cover some distance using either one exclusively, but you can travel a lot farther if you use both together.
In practical terms, this means that addicts of any kind must come to terms with the fact that they have a compulsion (condition or powerful inclination) to use. And non-addicts need to respect the intensity of that compulsion and not just tell them to "knock it off."
AND addicts have to humble themselves to a future of radical honesty and a lifetime of one small choice after another (willpower) if they want to live. And non-addicts need to understand that absent the support and inspiration and relentless accountability of knowledgeable others, many will not be able to keep their eyes on the prize and will falter.
The compulsion to drink and drug IS a powerful force that goes far beyond choice. But, having identified the compulsion, choices matter greatly. And having a network of people who have already navigated these waters (and know the excuses and the terror) can make the difference between recovering and falling apart.
If AA is not helpful to you, by all means, look for some other method. But please, let's not spend any more time attacking something that is a positive force for change for millions of people.
Time to return to the original topic, supporting a brother in his quest to achieve and maintain sobriety.Last edit by rn/writer on Dec 20, '10
- 3Dec 20, '10 by PhoenixTechThank you RN/writer.
You responded in a very tasteful, factual manner without recriminations of any sort. Simply very well said.
- 5Dec 23, '10 by jackstemQuote from PhoenixTechAgreed! Very well said!Thank you RN/writer.
You responded in a very tasteful, factual manner without recriminations of any sort. Simply very well said.
There will always be those who find anything they don't understand to be some sort of "cult" or dark, evil, "secret group". As they say in AA and NA, "take what works and leave the rest".
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change (other people, places and things);
The courage to change the things I can (ME!)
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Happy Holidays to all!

Joints, Ligaments
Joint & Ligament pain is a condition that can be caused by an injury or an inflammation of joints mostly due to 'wear and tear'. Arthritis is a common degenerative joint ailment associated with swelling and discomfort of the joints that can vary between mild to severe. While in general elderly people are mostly affected by this condition but it can occur at any age. There are mainly two types of arthritis which are 'Osteoarthritis' and 'Rheumatoid Arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a deterioration of the articular cartilage caused by 'wear and tear' and it affects mainly the hands, knees, hips and joints.+ Read more >
Symptoms most typical for this condition include joint pain when in motion, stiffness, deformity and limited range of motion (ROM). Risk factors include a genetic predisposition, unusual physical movements resulting in reformed joint function and injury, deterioration of the articular cartilage and changes in bone and joint biochemistry. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease – the body's immune system wrongly attacks healthy tissue, and frequently affects people between ages 20-40 years. It is believed that genetic factors as well as leaky gut may increase the risk of developing gout. Some of the clinical symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include fatigue, low grade fever, weight loss, morning stiffness, weakness, and deformities, limited movement, swelling of small joints of hands and wrists and pain or tenderness of motion. Gout is another common form of arthritis which affects the joints and tissues of the body. Gout is caused by uric acid deposits in tissues and joints, leading to an inflammatory reaction and repeated attacks of acute arthritis. Acute gout is an aching condition that in general affects one joint. Chronic gout on the other hand consists of repeated attacks of pain and inflammation which may involve more than one joint. The most common symptoms are inflammation of the big toe, aches involving lower extremities and kidney stones. There are a number of factors that may increase someone's risk of developing 'gout'; they include dietary habits – excessive consumption of meat, sardines and alcohol, genetic factors and kidney disease or excessive cell degeneration. Therefore it is important to remove faulty dietary habits and reduce the consumption of animal protein and to avoid all type or alcohol and all substances that are high in purines and encourage uric acid production. Arthritis and Joint Supplements can help to ease the pain that is associated with arthritic conditions. Quercetin may help to reduce uric acid production. Flax seed oil or fish oil omega 3 EFA arthritis and joint supplements can reduce inflammation in the body. Glucosamine Sulfate is a naturally occurring substance found in our body and it is involved in the production of tendons, ligaments and cartilage and it may help to reduce inflammation too. Bromelain and Turmeric contain anti-inflammatory properties. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that can help to support the immune system and has a beneficial effect in reducing inflammation. Arthritis and joint supplements from Body Energy Club can help you to manage and diminish the symptoms that are associated with any form of arthritis. Before starting any new supplements it is important to check with your doctor to make sure they are right for you, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking prescription medications.+ Read less >

Restoring Johnny Carson's Iowa Home
No one will claim the white house at the corner of 13th Street and Davis Avenue in Corning is a mansion.
"It's a pretty dinky little house," said Chris Nelson, owner of the home.
Nelson admits it's been a fixer-upper.
"The foundation was cracked. It was a bad scene," said Nelson.
What happened inside the home in 1925 makes this little Iowa house an entertainment goldmine.
"Well the special thing is Johnny Carson was born here," said Nelson.
Carson was NBC's King of Late Night, being introduced every night with the phrase, "Heeeeere's Johnny!"
While Carson was king, the home at 500 13th Street was just another house.
"Everybody knew this was Johnny Carson's birthplace house, but nobody had done anything about it," said Nelson.
Nelson said he found the plaster hanging down from the walls and the ceiling was bowing down. It's was in bad shape.

I am a motherless mother.
Some days I just crave to hear my mothers voice.
I have just come out of a hideous year. One of the toughest that I have had to endure. One that I missed the presence of my mother so much... More than ever I needed that support that only a mother can give. The rub on the back, the reassurance that everything was going to be OK, the non judgemental friendship and love. My boys needed a Nanna. They desperately needed to be spoilt and have the weight of their world's lifted. They needed some time out from the heavy cloud of stress that loomed for many, many months.
I repeatedly pat myself and my husband on the back for the level of courage and direction we maintained whilst our lives were being torn to shreds. Our children have come out aware that we went through something quite major but they are still carefree and happy. With very little outside support, we managed to pull it off.... just!
As the stress is dissipating, I have even more clarity of the direction I want my book to take and the theme it will take on.
I want to connect with others who have lost their mothers. I want others to read the words that may sound all too familiar but gain hope and strength from those words. Its going to be all about celebration, inspiration and connection.
If you are reading this and you are motherless, I would love to invite you to add some input into my book. You can email me for further information. There is no obligation, it is entirely up to you (xx).
So, with so much exciting planning and writing ahead, I will be taking a step back from this space. As a mum of four and a Nurse, something has to make way for quality writing time and this is it. Thanks so much to you all for your support and lovely words thus far. You can still connect with me via my facebook page, Twitter or Instagram or of course my email.
Much love to you all.

Scripps Stations Win Two Peabody Awards
CINCINNATI, March 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Peabody Awards has recognized two local television stations of The E.W. Scripps Company, KNXV in Phoenix and KMGH in Denver, for strong investigative journalism that led to new public safety efforts.
"The ABC15 Investigators" at KNXV won the industry's highest honor for "Ford Escape: Exposing a Deadly Defect." After an SUV accident claimed the life of an Arizona teenager, KNXV's relentless five-month investigation revealed an acceleration problem that inspired a federal inquiry and the recall of more than 700,000 SUVs by Ford and Mazda.
"We believe our reporting had real impact nationwide and saved lives," said Anita Helt, vice president and general manager of KNXV. "Taking action to make our community safer and better is our station's mission. This investigation is reflective of the kind of journalism we strive for every day."
At KMGH in Denver, the series "Investigating the Fire" revealed widespread problems with the state's emergency system after a controlled burn by Colorado state foresters turned deadly. The station used the Freedom of Information Act to uncover documents, as well as reviewed 911 recordings and recorded dozens of interviews that exposed errors and faulty systems."We served our community well in our coverage of the wildfire, but we didn't stop when the smoke cleared," said Byron Grandy, vice president and general manager of KMGH. "Our news team reviewed countless documents and hours of 911 recordings to piece together failures in a system that our community thought it could trust. We are committed to holding our government agencies accountable for keeping our citizens safe and their homes protected." "This is a huge honor for our journalists in Phoenix and Denver who each day work to close that gap between what citizens and consumers deserve to know and what governments and companies want to hide," said Rich Boehne, Scripps president and CEO. "We are honored that the Peabody committee recognized the grit and courage of our teams at KNXV and KMGH." The University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication announced the 39 recipients of the 72nd Annual Peabody Awards on Wednesday. KNXV and KMGH were two of only four winners selected by the Peabody board as the best in electronic media for 2012. The Peabody Awards, the oldest awards in broadcasting, are considered among the most prestigious and selective prizes in electronic media. The Peabodys recognize excellence and meritorious work by radio and television stations, networks, webcasters, producing organizations and individuals.

Savior, showboat, and spin-master, the Starbucks CEO was recently named the Business Leader of the Year. But he's now pushing the spin too far for the $40 billion company's own good.
At this week's annual meeting of Starbucks shareholders, Chairman and CEO Howard Schultz focused his opening remarks not on beans, baristas or lattes, but instead on "the fracturing of the American dream" and "sending a signal to Washington."
That was no surprise to Starbucks followers, given that the New York Times' Joe Nocera teed up last week the fact that Schultz would be giving a speech articulating the importance of the "larger societal role the company has embraced."
That same basic theme prompted Fortune magazine to pick Schultz as "Business Leader of the Year" for 2011, saying Starbucks boss distinguished himself from the pack of other top-performing CEOs because he now "blends capitalism and activism."
But there's another award, if it existed, that Howard Schultz would have also won: "Business Spinner of the Year." In fact, he's probably earned a lifetime achievement award.
I say that largely as a compliment. Much of the business world runs on self-fulfilling prophecies, and many major businesses owe their existences to tenaciously spinning entrepreneurs who insisted on making the story they were telling come true. Would Apple, for instance, be the most valuable company in the world today without Steve Jobs' notorious Reality Distortion Field?
The same is true for Schultz and Starbucks. In his first tenure as CEO, Schultz turned a tiny company into an international giant by doggedly contending the world was looking for a $4 cup of coffee. That concept may seem obvious now, but it certainly was not when Schultz bought the company in 1988, given that the coffee business in America had been in serious decline for decades.
A highly able executive in virtually every dimension of his business, Schultz also innately understood from the beginning that successfully managing his business depended on successfully managing his story. Long known as an irrepressible salesman, Schultz has always applied that same determination to engaging the news media, learning that his willful, winning personality could overcome many obstacles that would stop others.
But it wasn't until several years after Schultz gave up the role of CEO that his spin skills jumped to a whole new level.
Consider that the current typical sound-bite summary of the Starbucks narrative goes something like this:
Howard Schultz returned to Starbucks in 2008, rescuing the company by ending its over-emphasis on growing rapidly at all costs. By refocusing the company on its original strengths, Starbucks is now producing its best results ever.
Nice and tidy, not to mention completely Schultz-centric.
Now consider the actions that essentially created that narrative.
To "return," Schultz had to first "go away," something most Starbucks observers say he never really did when he gave up the CEO title in 2001, remaining in the headquarters offices as a highly active chairman, not to mention the originator of the company's emphasis on rapid growth.
Schultz then set the context for his return with his famous Valentines Day memo in 2007 to then-CEO Jim Donald. Entitled "The Commoditization of the Starbucks Experience," the memo outlined in crisp, stark terms how the reckless pursuit of growth and profits had caused Starbucks to abandon what had made it successful.
The memo was leaked through Jim Romenesko's Starbucks blog, which triggered widespread media attention. The intentionality of the leak was denied by both Starbucks and by Schultz in his book.
The commoditization memo neatly defined the problems, and when Schultz formally returned as CEO and president in January of 2008, he hit the ground running on Day-1 with an explicit, 5-point "transformation agenda" that just as neatly defined the solutions.
Schultz also did what every savvy CEO does when taking the reigns of a troubled enterprise, resetting the financial baseline from which the company would be evaluated in the future. That required writing off inferior assets, which meant closing nearly 1,000 stores worldwide and reportedly firing tens of thousands of people.
Always good at leveraging symbolic non-events into news, Schultz then famously chose to close Starbucks stores for three hours to "retrain" the baristas. Simple and concrete, the clumsy publicity stunt quickly aged well as a sturdy plot point in the lore of The Return.
And then, after the reset, as the business results began to turn positive, Schultz wasted little time in trying to dictate the narrative by almost literally dictating that narrative in the form of his latest book, Onward.
Some reviewers panned the book as a bromidic self-hagiography. But it effectively crystalized the basic storyline for the Fortune piece, which also dutifully moved that story forward by adding the capitalism/activism chapter.
He rescued the coffee chain. It had record financial results this year. Now the CEO is on a campaign to save the country from its politicians. Here's how he blends capitalism and activism.
The Fortune profile chronicled Schultz's two most recent public campaigns: calling for a temporary boycott of corporate contributions to politicians, and selling plastic bracelets to bankroll small businesses and create jobs.

Cheats, Codes & FAQs
How to get your opponet high percentage.
First of all, you won' t always be able to do this. If you get lucky, you'll get a fan. After you get the fan, (if you get the fan at all) start slapping your opponet. The slapping won't let them get away for a while, which gives you time to give them high percentage. The fan will not kill them, though. But if you get to use the fan long enough, when you'r done with the fan, you might be able to knock your foe out in you'r 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th try.
Easy Kill
Be Donkey Kong. Next, grab you opponent. Then when your opponent is in your arms start to walk off the edge with him. When you are off the edge of the stage (with your opponent still in your arms) quickly throw him down. Then do your recovery attack to get back on the stage. This move is very hard to master, you may need to try several times.
Annoying attack
Be Donkey Kong. Next, keep hitting the ground with his Down+B attack. If you do this for a long time not only will your opponent get alot of damage but also they will get very mad too.
Meteor Smash
Be any character. If you hit your opponent off the stage, while they are trying to get back up jump in the air and hit them down. There are several types of meteor smashes, it depends on which person you are. If you master a meteor smash with one person don't think you are going to master it with another.
Make Wario Ride His Cycle
Press B and Left or Right and Wario will ride his bike.
Easy Win
You need Lucas for this. When your opponent is on an edge, use Lucas' pk freeze on the person on the ledge, then they're dead.
getting smash ball quickly
Be lucas or ness but i would recomend lucas use there pk thunder and direct it to the smash ball keep doing this untill you have the final smash. it may take at least 3 tries
how to unlock all charactors in about a day
Go to special Brawl an put on stamina and flower heads. Be anyone you want and put the cpu on puny level and one stamina you have more than one stamina put the stage selection on random and your ready to unlock everyone in about a day.

I am in search of a nice park for spring mini sessions that I plan to have at the end of the month. I need it to be a nice setting for pictures, but safe for the kids waiting for their turn for pictures. I rode around Mandeville a bit today (actually got lost!) and was in shock by some of the "parks" my GPS took me to. Um, Northlake Nature Center?!?! OMG! I was afraid for my life! I've heard mention of a nice park in Abita Springs and I know there's also the option of the Mandeville Lakefront, but it's really not ideally what I had in mind for the session. If you know of any nice park settings for pictures, please fill me in!
Also, if you will be at the Kids Day Expo at the Castine Center on the 20th, come stop by my booth

Motorcycling gives you a unique sense of freedom that car drivers rarely experience. But those who choose two wheels instead of four are also far more vulnerable, not least due to the carelessness of other road users. The past decade has seen a number of government-led awareness campaigns aimed at making the road a safer place for motorcyclists, and this has led to a gradual reduction of fatalities (including a 10% drop between 2010 and 2011).
Motorcycle injuries on the rise
But sadly, injuries caused by motorcycling accidents have not declined in the same way that fatalities have. According to government statistics for 2011, there were more than 5,000 incidents in which motorcyclists were seriously injured on UK roads, and approximately 20,000 casualties overall – 8% more than the previous year. So while campaigns have led to more awareness amongst road users of the vulnerability of motorcyclists and consequently a decline in the number of deaths, motorbike injuries are still alarmingly common.
A helping hand after your motorcycle accident
Motorbike injuries are by their nature often far more severe than those suffered by car users, and the recovery time can be much longer too. During this time it can seem hard to get on with your life and return to normality, but fortunately help is at hand. If you've suffered injuries from a motorbike accident in which someone else was to blame, you are entitled to make a claim for compensation.
What can you claim for?
Whether your personal injury is temporary or is a lifelong disability, you can get the financial support you need to ease your recovery and improve your quality of life. The exact amount of money you are likely to receive will depend on a variety of factors and your circumstances. However, you can claim not just for the physical injury, but also for the mental trauma caused, any loss of income as a result of being off work, and for medical and rehabilitation costs incurred.
How to make a claim for your personal injury
Sometimes people don't make a claim because they're not sure how to go about it, or because they think that it will cost them money they don't have. Injury Lawyers 4U can put your mind at ease on both counts.
Our teams of professional injury lawyers are experienced in all types of accident claims and can take you through every step of the process, from proving the extent of your injuries and the fault of the other party to establishing the final claim settlement.
Although many claims are brought against another individual whose actions on the road have led to the accident, it is sometimes possible to make a claim in situations where no other road user is to blame. For example, if your accident was a result of a defective road surface or pothole, it may be possible to obtain compensation from the local council responsible, as they have a duty of care to maintain a road in a safe condition for all road users, including motorcyclists. If they have allowed a road to become dangerously potholed then they have failed in that duty of care and could be held accountable.
'No win, no fee'
We work on a 'no win, no fee' basis, so in general, in the event that your claim is unsuccessful, you'll have nothing to pay.
To make a personal injury claim and get your life back on track, contact our expert injury lawyers today. Just fill in the contact form here and we'll give you a call back at your convenience.
