Moonrise Kingdom is the new movie directed by Wes Anderson. Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two 12-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore - and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in every which way.

Differences in ovarian aging patterns between races are associated with ovarian genotypes and sub-genotypes of the FMR1 gene

Ovarian aging patterns differ between races, and appear to affect fertility treatment outcomes. What causes these differences is, however, unknown. Variations in ovarian aging patterns have recently been associated with specific ovarian genotypes and sub-genotypes of the FMR1 gene. We, therefore, attempted to determine differences in how functional ovarian reserve (FOR) changes with advancing age between races, and whether changes are associated with differences in distribution of ovarian genotypes and sub-genotypes of the FMR1 gene.
We determined in association with in vitro fertilization (IVF) FOR in 62 young Caucasian, African and Asian oocyte donors and 536 older infertility patients of all three races, based on follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and oocyte yields, and investigated whether differences between races are associated with differences in distribution of FMR1 genotypes and sub-genotypes.
Changes in distribution of mean FSH, AMH and oocyte yields between young donors and older infertility patients were significant (all P < 0.001). Donors did not demonstrate significant differences between races in AMH and FSH but demonstrated significant differences in oocyte yields [F(2,59) = 4.22, P = 0.019]: Specifically, African donors demonstrated larger oocyte yields than Caucasians (P = 0.008) and Asians (P = 0.022). In patients, AMH levels differed significantly between races [F (2,533) = 4.25, P = 0.015]. Holm-Sidak post-hoc comparisons demonstrated that Caucasians demonstrated lower AMH in comparison to Asians (P = 0.007). Percentages of FMR1 genotypes and sub-genotypes in patients varied significantly between races, with Asians demonstrating fewer het-norm/low sub-genotypes than Caucasians and Africans (P = 0.012).
FOR changes in different races at different rates, and appears to parallel ovarian FMR1 genotypes and sub-genotype distributions. Differences in ovarian aging between races may, therefore, be FMR1-associated.

There was a Cabin Fever 2?
EIBaz13 I thought the same thing.
I keep seeing Michael Eklund pop up playing villian after villian. First on Arrow then on Almost Human and now Bates Motel. He's on quite the run. Interesting bit about Nicola Peltz leaving for Transformers 4, her storyline did feel a tad rushed.
Get a hair cut ya commie...
Ya her wide eyes remind me of Dren from Splice heh.
Xeno nailed it, in one foul swoop Marlan Wayans tainted this entire list heh.
I get not wanting another sequel but saying it's disrespectful to Ramis' memory is a bit of a stretch.

This application is a continuation of and claims the priority benefit of commonly-assigned, co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/761,313 entitled �HIGH VOLTAGE AND HIGH POWER BOOST CONVETER WITH CO-PACKAGED SCHOTTKY DIODE� to Allen Chang and Wai-Keung Peter Cheng, filed Jun. 11, 2007, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
This application is related to co-pending application Ser. No. 11/761,301, to Allen Chang and Wai-Keung Peter Cheng, entitled �BOOST CONVERTER WITH INTEGRATED HIGH POWER DISCRETE FET AND LOW VOLTAGE CONTROLLER�, (Attorney Docket ANO-003/US) filed Jun. 11, 2007, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
This invention generally relates to boost converters and more particularly to high voltage and high power Boost converters having a co-packaged Schottky diode.
Boost converter circuit is used to boost an input voltage to a higher output voltage. A boost ratio of ten or more is possible, e.g., in portable display applications. A boost converter may be used, e.g., to power a string of white LED diode for LCD backlight. In such situations boost converter may be used to convert a five volt input to an output voltage of up to 50V. A boost converter generally includes five basic components, namely a power semiconductor switch, a diode, an inductor, a capacitor and a modulation controller, such as a pulse width modulation (PWM) controller. There are many different kinds of control systems, pulse width modulation (PWM) is only one of them.
High Voltage and High Power Step-Up, or Boost, Converter are used in many applications such as LCD panel power supplies or LED backlight drivers. A small form factor for the total solution is needed as PCB space is always limited. Reduced PCB area also serves to reduce the manufacturing cost.
Boost converters of the type shown in
Co-Packaging of a Schottky diode and an IC has appeared in commercial boost converters intended for LCD backlight. An example of a serial LED driver with a current-regulated, step-up DC/DC converter is a FAN5606, made by Fairchild Semiconductor. This device has a built-in Schottky diode and does not require an external Schottky diode. However, although the Schottky diode may be co-packaged with the IC, such a boost converter requires two die pads, one for the IC and one for the diode, which limits the active area of the components that can be included in a given package. This dictates a larger package form factor. In addition, production costs for such devices tend to be high due to the assembly complexity and the cost of the lead frame for the two die pads.
It is within this context that embodiments of the present invention arise.
Objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Although the following detailed description contains many specific details for the purposes of illustration, anyone of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that many variations and alterations to the following details are within the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the exemplary embodiments of the invention described below are set forth without any loss of generality to, and without imposing limitations upon, the claimed invention.
The anode 208 of the discrete Schottky diode 203 may be bonded directly to the drain D of the NFET 205 on the IC, or to the common package pin at junction J. The bottom cathode 210 may be directly coupled to the output voltage VOUT. The source S of the discrete NFET 205 may be directly coupled to ground. An external inductor L may be directly coupled between the input voltage VIN and drain D of the discrete NFET 205. A capacitor C may be coupled between the bottom cathode 210 of the vertical discrete Schottky diode 203 and ground. An output voltage VOUT may be obtained at a point between the cathode 210 of the Schottky diode 203 and the capacitor C. The boost converter IC 207 and the discrete Schottky diode 203 may be co-packaged on a common die pad 202, such as a standard single die pad lead frame, which may be electrically connected to the bottom cathode 210 of the discrete Schottky diode 203. The die pad 202 can be held at the output voltage VOUT as a result of the bonding. Since the output voltage VOUT is free of any large signal switching waveforms, the noise injected into the Boost IC substrate of the die pad 202 will be minimal
The co-packaged configuration of the boost converter IC 207 and the discrete Schottky diode 203 on a common die pad 202 as shown in
While the above is a complete description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to use various alternatives, modifications and equivalents. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be determined not with reference to the above description but should, instead, be determined with reference to the appended claims, along with their full scope of equivalents. Any feature, whether preferred or not, may be combined with any other feature, whether preferred or not. In the claims that follow, the indefinite article �A�, or �An� refers to a quantity of one or more of the item following the article, except where expressly stated otherwise. The appended claims are not to be interpreted as including means-plus-function limitations, unless such a limitation is explicitly recited in a given claim using the phrase �means for.�

Not sure this movie has been the topic of in-depth discussion, but I thought it would be interesting to see which scene(s) stick out as your favorite, or most memorable. I'm sure we all have many favorite scenes, so post as many as you'd like.
Feel free to discuss. Nothing is off topic as long as we maintain focus on The Godfather,..perhaps the quintessential cosa nostra movie of all time.
My favorite scene takes place outside the Hospital's entrance, while the recovering Don has been relocated to another room by Michael. We all know the scene.
It involves Michael and the baker's son, Enzo, standing guard outside. After the hitmen [Sollozzo's men] drive off Enzo needs a cigarette but couldn't light up because his hand was trembling too much out of fear. Michael takes the lighter and lights Enzo's cigarette easily,... and notices His hand is rock steady. Very definitive moment for Michael.

Thank you for making this product. I have long curly fine hair. For many years I would wash my hair and watch clumps of it slide down the drain. After buying this product I noticed a difference immediately . The amount of hair that falls out is minimal and my hair looks full and has a bounce to it. I also noticed after using Garnier conditioner my curls are similar to when I was a young girl. Thick and healthy looking. I am a big fan. Thank you.

Growing up my hair was always straight, long, voluminous, and full of life. As I got older (21-25) it didn't change much although I colored it two to three times per year and got highlights in the summer. Last summer I made the horrible mistake of letting my hairdresser try out the "ombre" look. It was amazing at first but after a few washes, it was dry, dull, and damaged beyond belief. I guess bleaching and stripping your hair of its color and natural oils will do that. Within less than 2 months I colored my hair dark brown and started to work on getting it healthy again. I tried many different leave in treatments, homeopathic remedies, and supplements. I spent roughly $1,200 but nothing helped and my hair started to fall out in huge clumps. I spent lots of money on Extra Strength Drano because the bathtub drain kept getting clogged due to my falling locks. I was ready to give up so I went to a well known salon in NYC on Fifth Avenue and told my stylish to cut it all off. I knew that I was going to be losing roughly 6 inches of hair but I didn't know how else to resolve the problem. She didn't want to cut all of my hair off so instead we spoke about the issue I was experiencing. She could have recommended an expensive salon treatment and I would have pain ANYTHING to save my hair but instead she told me about trying the Garnier Fructis Fall Fight 3 Step System which included a shampoo, conditioner, and leave in anti breakage spray. I was desperate to fix my hair and retain some of pride as the thinning spots in my head prevented me from putting my hair into a ponytail. As soon as I walked out of the salon with my new do, I jumped on my cell phone and ordered the products from Amazon. They arrived within two days. They looked like the same shampoo and conditioner I had been using for years but little did I know, there was a miracle hiding inside those bottles just waiting to come out. I immediately jumped into the shower and got some of the shampoo into my hair. It was fruity, rich, silky, and best of all didn't feel heavy whatsoever. I massaged the shampoo into my scalp for two to three minutes before washing it out completely. Next up was the conditioner and I followed the same method that I used with the shampoo. When my shower was over I was more excited about the smell and texture of my hair rather than the results because secretly deep down inside I was sure it wouldn't make a difference. I towel dried my hair very well and applied the leave in anti-breakage spray. I ran the comb through my hair over and over from root to tip dreading the amount of hair I would have to remove from the comb when I was done. I stood in front of the mirror and slowly removed the comb from my hair. To my surprise, there wasn't a SINGLE strand of my hair on the comb. I was in complete disbelief so I looked in the bathtub to find my damaged locks but there wasn't a single hair in the drain. I started to jump and shout with excitement as I pulled at the hair on my head. Nothing fell out during my shower, while I was combing my hair, or even while I was pulling on it. Thank you Garnier Fructis for creating a product that works the FIRST time you use it. I'm 28 years old and don't have an issue whatsoever with sharing my wonderful story with the world. I use the Garnier Fructis Fall Fight 3 Step System twice a week and even blow dry my hair immediately after. I haven't used my flat iron in weeks nor do I think I ever will again. I love the smell, texture, and amazing VOLUME I am experiencing. My boyfriend loves how full my hair is and the fact that he does NOT have to clean my hair out of the drains, off of the floor, or even from his comb. This truly is a miracle you've created and I hope others have a chance to just try it out. I love my hair now more than ever and I am prepared to take better care of it using the Garnier Fructis Fall Fight 3 Step System. Thank you for giving me less of an issue to stress over and more time to enjoy my youth and of course my HAIR!!!

My hair used to fall out so much. I tried everything. Then I met a friend and her hair was so long and beautiful. She recommended Fall fight shampoo, conditioning and spray. I immediately bought it and begin seeing results. After a couple of months, my hair is down my back. There is no breakage--absolutely none. This product is the best kept secret. It is absolutely amazing. I love it. I highly recommend this product to everyone. My hair is soft, shiny and long. I am extremely impressed. My prayers have been answered and I thank God for sending me to this product.

Homeschool 4-H
Unit studies that combine curriculum and socialization
Homeschool 4-H groups are popping up all over the place. Why? 4-H and homeschool are a great match.
When I tell other home educators about 4H I often hear, "I thought that was for farmers." Not so.
This youth organization is a perfect supplement to curriculum and can even be similar to a homeschool unit study group
within the 4-H organization. Not to mention it is a great answer to homeschool socialization questions.
Many families with right brain learners enjoy unit studies. 4-H is another framework for creating unit studies on a larger scale than just your immediate family. This allows you to draw on the knowledge of other parents as well as do activities that are hard to do alone if you only have a few children or an only child.
Before we started homeschooling, I knew nothing about 4-H, even though my grandfather was an extension agent, my grandmother led a club, my mom was a member, and in college I worked for IFAS (the branch of the University of Florida that oversees this program.)
I saw a post on our local homeschool group's e-mail chain about a crochet class offered at the county extension office, so signed my girls up. While they were learning how to make a granny square, I was learning about all the other opportunities available through 4-H.
The more I learned, I realized this program wasn't all about farming and animals (although those are still well represented in the program overall.) There were homeschool 4-H clubs in our county that focused on everything from poultry, to shooting sports, to electricity. Basically unit studies within a framework of a group.
There are many opportunities for kids 9 and older to compete with projects they complete. (Some counties allow children younger than 9 to participate without competing.) It is a big motivator for my kids to know someone besides family will be seeing and evaluating their work. Sometimes having mom and dad always being the judge gets tough and finding non-family members to evaluate work and give a different perspective is hard for many homeschool families.
I have been so pleased with the opportunities we have been given in 4-H AND
combined with our homeschool. It is worth checking with your County Extension Office to
see if a program exists in your area. If none of the current clubs fit your needs, don't be
afraid to start your own homeschool 4-H group!
The 4-H pledge:
I pledge my HEAD to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty,
My HANDS to larger service,
and my health to better living
for my club, my community, my country and my world.
4-H has planned curriculum unit books for purchase at a reasonable price. Check with your local County Extension Agent for information.
What's YOUR 4-H story?
Have a great story about your homeschool 4-H club? What was your favorite 4-H event? Did you have a great 4-H leader? How has 4-H added to your homeschool experience? Share it here! Club leaders are always looking for new ideas to spark enthusiasm and learning.

If you find T Magazine's Model-Morphosis as utterly transfixing as I do, then prepare to be stunned: photographer Leland Bobbé's incredible new portraits will blow your mind. The ongoing series depicts men who masquerade as women as one dichotomous (and, it must be said, beautiful) persona — half masculine, half feminine, neither male nor female. Says the artist, "My intention is to capture both the male and the alter-ego female side of these subjects in one image … These are composed in camera and are not two separate images joined together." The result is a powerful and welcome addition to the conversation of gender and a segue into Nietzche's overman, "the man that goes beyond, who is beyond." I'll drink to that!

Hands-on with Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery, Episode 2: Field Trip, the brilliantly written puzzle adventure sequel
We were fortunate enough to grab an early code for this new episode in the Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery series, and we definitely wanted to bring you a first look video before the game's release. The sparkling writing is delightful and hilarious in equal measure, the voice acting is excellent, the puzzles challenging, and the visuals gorgeous, and frankly I can't wait to play a bit more. Oh I guess the video below does contain extremely minor spoilers.…
Hands-on with Puzzix, the blissful shape matching game
Puzzix tasks you with matching corresponding shapes with one another, picking from a conveyor belt of candidates, and matching enough of them to remove them from play. It's a rather zen experience: the gradually shifting colour scheme, the slow fall of the puzzle pieces, and the tranquil music all combine to create a game that's very, very chill. I went hands-on with Puzzix, here's how I got on with it.…
Threes! Review
When we first fired up Threes!, we admit that we weren't quite prepared for the charm offensive we were about to receive. A quick tutorial shows you the basics. To play, you must swipe a group of tiles up, down, left, or right across a 4x4 grid. Pushing a 1 tile against a 2 tile creates a 3 tile. But from there tiles only combine with tiles bearing a matching number - 3 tiles combine with other 3 tiles into 6 tiles, 6s into 12s, and so on. The aim of the game is to combine…Watch The Video Review
Monkey Mofo delivers some puzzle-based simian madness to your touchscreen
Invoking classic games and themes is a great way to grab gamers' attention. And, whne we first saw it, Monkey Mofo's apparent blending of ChuChu Rocket! and Q-bert certainly caught our eye. Requiring you to guide hapless fruit-collecting monkeys around an isometric island, Monkey Mofo has you laying down arrows in your simians' paths to push them in the right direction. Once the fruit is collected, all that is left is to guide them to the exit to complete the stage. To make things trickier, there are an assortment of enemies to mess with your monkeys. Plus, as the game progresses, the mazes become increasingly difficult to navigate. Sprinkle on other hazards and power-ups, and…
Floaty platform-puzzler Rocket Robo just gently propelled its way on to the App Store
A small robot has just nudged its way on to the UK and US App Store. The little guy (whose name is Robo) is the star of the charming new 2.5D puzzle-game Rocket Robo, from developer Aaron McElligot. All the stars have disappeared from the sky, and your little robot is on a mission to recover them. The celestial baubles are scattered across Rocket Robo's 3 worlds and 57 levels. To get them, you'll have to guide the little robot through a variety of traps and puzzles. Touching the screen activates the mechanical man's tiny rocket boots, making it possible for him to fight his way skywards. Deactivate your boost for a second, however, and gravity quickly takes over. Tilting your iPad or iP…

During your first few minutes with Magnetized, you could be forgiven for thinking that it is going to be a basic puzzler with a single mechanic. Instead, the developer Rocky Hong slowly introduces three different spins on the maze-navigating formula which layer to produce something both addictive and dynamic. As with all time-gobbling puzzlers, the core of Magnetized is simple. You must guide a small block through a colourful maze, ideally picking up three collectibles en route. The…Watch The Video Review

Sooner or later, we are going to have to abandon the idea that wooden toys will be viewed by modern kids as pieces of art. While the sight of our once-beloved spinning top may still tug some sentimental heartstrings, the reality is that - these days at least - plastic and pixels are what kids want. Perhaps this is what Barking Mice Studio's new puzzle game Lost Toys is commenting upon.

Posts tagged: Butte-Silver Bow County Sheriff's Office
BUTTE (AP) — The FBI is investigating whether a Montana bank robbery is related to at least 18 bank robberies in Washington and Oregon attributed to "the Bad Hair Bandit."
A woman wearing a short, dark-haired wig robbed the Bank of Butte Thursday, getting away with an undisclosed amount of cash. The robber implied she had a gun.
Butte-Silver Bow County Sheriff John Walsh tells The Montana Standard the FBI is looking into whether the bad hair bandit is involved. An FBI spokeswoman wouldn't comment.
The FBI's website says the Bad Hair Bandit robs banks by passing a note to the teller and claiming that she has a gun. She wears a variety of unattractive wigs during the robberies.
The FBI believes the same woman may have also robbed two Banner Bank locations in Spokane last summer.
A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the bandit's conviction.

Bal Thackeray's critical condition notwithstanding, the Shiv Sena continued to be upbeat on Friday, with senior party leaders speaking of "a definite improvement" in the health of the 86-year old leader.
Speaking to reporters outside the Thackeray residence, 'Matoshree,' in suburban Bandra, MP Sanjay Raut said: "Balasaheb's heartbeat, pulse rate and blood pressure are veering towards normalcy…it is an astounding recovery."
"The prayers of the Sainiks are his [Balasaheb's] tonic and the Shiv Sena is his bulwark of strength," he said.
Senior Sena leader and former Lok Sabha Speaker Manohar Joshi said Mr. Thackeray's health had shown "a perceptible improvement."
"He is said to be responding to treatment and his condition is better than what it was on Wednesday night" said Republican Party of India (A) president Ramdas Athawale, urging people to desist from rumour-mongering.
While hordes of dedicated party workers and supporters continued to chant slogans and stand vigil outside 'Matoshree,' several Muslim clerics offered prayers for the Sena chief's speedy recovery in the evening.
A doctor attending on him said on condition of anonymity that "while Mr. Thackeray was stable, the situation remained largely unchanged."
"His condition is being constantly monitored," said the doctor, quashing rumours of the Sena chief being shifted to Lilavati Hospital.
Medical sources are silent on the question of Mr. Thackeray's vital parameters.
According to reports, the Sena patriarch was taken off life support systems on Thursday after he showed some signs of improvement.
Between Thursday night and Friday morning, Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray addressed Sena followers without elaborating on the party chief's health.
Mr. Thackeray had said: "Balasaheb's condition is stable. I had said yesterday and I will say again today, I have not given up hope. You too must not give up hope because we all are fighting soldiers of a fighting leader."
The deluge of celebrities, politicians and godmen continued at "Matoshree" with Baba Ramdev, actor Hema Malini, actor-director Rakesh Roshan and actor Jeetendra among the visitors.
Wishing the Sena leader speedy recovery, senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Venkaiah Naidu said Mr. Thackeray was the Mahayuti [political alliance of the Shiv Sena-BJP-RPI (A)] alliance's guiding light and described him as a "fighter."
Public transport, which had dramatically slowed down since Thursday morning, resumed with taxis and autorickshaws ferrying passengers. Shops in the Sena strongholds of Dadar and Bandra too reopened following news of improvement in Mr. Thackeray's health.

The Man (12A)
Time Out says
Tue Sep 6 2005It should have been a match made in odd-couple heaven: Samuel L Jackson's cocky, smooth-swearing hard-ass (undercover federal agent Derrick Vann) figuratively cuffed to Eugene Levy's cringe-makingly awkward but well-intentioned nebbish (Andy Fidler, inadvertently embroiled in Vann's sting operation against a slick arms dealer played by Luke Goss). And things start promisingly enough with an opening scene of note-perfect pastiche, its every element skewering the myriad laughable clichés of godawful renegade cop flicks ('I'm not finished with you,' Vann's captain snaps. 'Well, I'm finished with you,' he growls back before storming out). Then you realise it's not pastiche.Unusually lazy even for a buddy comedy cop thriller, 'The Man's' off-the-peg script offers only one, maybe two scenes that successfully mine the potential of its stars' clashing personae: seeing Jackson obliged to identify himself as Levy's bitch is pretty funny, but otherwise he's on autopilot – all narrowed eyes and raised voice (and looking a bit ropey to boot). And, despite his gawkiness, Andy is too self-assured to allow Levy to display much range. There's a clumsily off-kilter feel to the action – scenes seem truncated, gags are left hanging – and the direction is banal when it isn't slapdash. Offering a running tonal tussle between sadism and sentimentality – an odd couple with as little appeal as its central characters – this can only count as a waste of everyone's time and money. At least they saved on the effort.

By IH 28/03 Updated: 30/03 08:52
GAMESTATION, the video games retailer which had two stores in Rugby's Clock Towers, has gone into administration.
Trading under the names of Game and Gamestation, the group has stores in the UK and Ireland, Spain, Portugal, France, Czech Republic and Australia. The Gamestation store remains open, but the Game store closed on Tuesday (March 27).
In total 277 of the company's 609 stores throughout the UK and Ireland closed this week. Administrators announced 2,089 staff would be made redundant this week.
There were 609 stores throughout the UK and Ireland employing 5,136 staff. There were also 385 employees based at the group's head office in Basingstoke.
Mike Jervis, joint administrator and partner at PwC, said: "The group has faced serious cashflow and profit issues over the recent past. It also has suffered from high fixed costs, an ambitious international roll-out and fluctuating working capital requirements.
"Our priority is to continue trading the business as normal while we continue to pursue a sale. The recent job losses are regrettable but will place the company in a stronger position while we explore opportunities to conclude a sale. My team and I will be doing all we can to help the affected employees at this difficult time."
"Despite these challenges, we believe that there is room for a specialist game retailer in the territories in which it operates, including its biggest one, the UK. As a result we are hopeful that a going concern sale of the business is achievable."
The remaining 333 stores employing 2,829 people will stay open as normal while administrators continue efforts to find a purchaser for the business.

Tempur-Pedic Announces Pricing Of $375 Million Senior Notes Offering And Entering Into New $1.77 Billion Credit Facilities
LEXINGTON, Ky., Dec. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tempur-Pedic International Inc. (NYSE: TPX), a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of premium mattresses and pillows worldwide, today announced that it upsized and priced its offering of $375 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes due 2020 (the "Notes") in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes will be issued at 100% of face value and will mature on December 15, 2020. The offering of the Notes has been upsized from $350 million to $375 million. The Notes will be general unsecured senior obligations of Tempur-Pedic and will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of Tempur-Pedic's subsidiaries. The offering is expected to close on December 19, 2012, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Tempur-Pedic also announced today that it entered into new senior secured credit facilities on December 12, 2012 with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Barclays Bank PLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Fifth Third Bank, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunning managers. The senior secured credit facilities are comprised of (i) a revolving credit facility of $350.0 million, (ii) a term A facility of $550.0 million and (iii) a term B facility of $870.0 million. The revolving credit facility will include a sublimit for letters of credit and swingline loans, subject to certain conditions and limits. The revolving credit facility and the term A facility will mature on the fifth anniversary of the closing, and the term B facility will mature on the seventh anniversary of the closing. The credit facilities are expected to close and fund in connection with the acquisition of Sealy Corporation (the "Sealy Acquisition"). The obligations of the lenders to make the initial loans at closing, and the loans subsequent to closing, are subject to certain customary closing conditions. Tempur-Pedic's existing credit facilities will remain in place until the closing of the Sealy Acquisition.
Tempur-Pedic expects to use the net proceeds of the Notes offering, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the new senior secured credit facilities, to finance the Sealy Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. Tempur-Pedic expects that proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be placed in escrow pending release upon receipt of regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other conditions to the completion of the Sealy Acquisition.

"We selected Sealed Squares for our invites. And, because we are having several events to celebrate our marriage, I was looking for different reception cards to go with our invite design. This card works perfect with the Sealed Squares. Love the entire package together - easy to design & the invites look amazing!!! Great quality!!! People are so surprised I did this by myself - online . . . . for a great price."
"I absolutely loved this enclosure card to go along with my invites. I had the green/blue cards and invites and I changed the font from brown to green and it made the card really stand out! Love them!"
"I loved the whole falling petal series from invitations, menus card, reception etc. It was exactly what I was looking for. The service they gave me was outstanding, email reminder, phone calls etc. My invites were extra long and my menu was a 5 course and they adjusted the layout for me. I want to order it all over again!!!! Thank you for making my wedding stationary look so pretty!!"
"The card was beautiful! Great design! UNBELIEVABLY fast delivery!!! Would use Wedding Paper Divas one hundred times over!!!"
"I used this card for guest's room accommodations details. This card was a great addition to the wedding invite and I was impressed with the proofer recommendations to add Accommodations to the top corner as a header in a larger print and cursive writing similar to my and the groom's name on the invites"

Porteous, Julie and Sebastia, Laura and Hoffmann, Jorg (2001) On the extraction, ordering, and usage of landmarks in planning. In: 6th European Conference on Planning, 2001-09-19, Toledo.

Many known planning tasks have inherent constraints concerning the best order in which to achieve the goals. A number of research efforts have been made to detect such constraints and use them for guiding search, in the hope to speed up the planning process. We go beyond the previous approaches by dening ordering constraints not only over the (top level) goals, but also over the sub-goals that will arise during planning. Landmarks are facts that must be true at some point in every valid solution plan. We show how such landmarks can be found, how their inherent ordering constraints can be approximated, and how this information can be used to decompose a given planning task into severa smaller sub-tasks. Our methodology is completely domain- and planner-independent. The implementation demonstrates that the approach can yield significant performance improvements in both heuristic forward search and GRAPHPLAN-style planning.

Get access to a FREE week of school lunch menus
Orange you glad that this is the perfect dessert for kids (and you)?
Okay, so I know you spend tons of time fretting over healthy lunches and dinners and breakfasts for your kids, and of course you do an excellent job, but it is ok to treat yourself and your kids to a little something sweet every once in a while! Here at MOMables we are all about having fun with healthy and delicious foods, gotta keep it entertaining right?
Why should the terms "treat" or "dessert" only apply to sugar-filled stuff? I love turning something healthy into a treat instead! Subscribe to the MOMables e-newsletter to have healthy ideas like these delivered right to your inbox!
These chocolate-covered orange segments are the perfect treat – yummy and EASY!
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips or chunks (or 3-4 oz chocolate bar, broken into rough chunks)
- 3 mandarin or satsuma oranges, peeled and separated
- 1-2 teaspoons shortening or coconut oil (optional)
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- Melt your chocolate. You can use a double boiler, a fondue pot, or microwave. To microwave, heat in a small microwave-safe dish for 1 minute, then in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. If chocolate seems too thick, add 1 teaspoon shortening or coconut oil. Add more if necessary.
- Dip each orange segment into chocolate, rolling to coat both sides if your chocolate is too shallow. Coat one-half to three-fourths of the way up each slice. Let some excess chocolate drip off then place on prepared baking sheet, separating them at least 1-inch apart so that their chocolate puddles won't touch.
- If chocolate cools before you're finished, you can re-melt it as above.
- Place tray in refrigerator for at least 20-minutes, then serve or store refrigerated in an airtight container.
- They will start to dry out, but can last a few days in the fridge and still be tasty!
For some other healthy foods-turned-to-treats, check out these MOMables recipes:

Opexa Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:OPXA)
A biopharmaceutical company developing autologous cellular therapies to treat several major illnesses, including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
I was actually thinking about green thumbing Opexa yesterday after I noticed they had fallen through the lower end of my value range, but I decided to revise the range downward instead. What I saw in the latest PR was a complete lack of resources and commitment to the phase III trial of Tovaxin in multiple sclerosis. The company made a lot of vague, boilerplate references regarding preparations for the trial, but provided no timeline for study initiation. Here's the critical sentence:
"Moving forward, we expect to maintain our focus on implementing operational steps in anticipation of continuing the clinical study of Tovaxin and working to secure the necessary resources to support such a study."
In other words, they don't have the resources to go ahead with the study. Meanwhile, they'll collect their salaries, benefits, and options until those resources somehow materialize or the remaining cash is gone. This is the exact same position they were in a year and a half ago, except there are more shares now due to dilution. I expect that pathway of dilution to continue, as the word "partnership" does not appear in the PR. The concept of a partner for Tovaxin was popular in 2010 but lately it doesn't seem likely that one will materialize.
By deferring on the green thumb, I missed an opportunity to gain 40 points when the stock gapped up on announcement of FDA Fast Track designation for Tovaxin. Whoop dee doo. The concept of Fast Track designation adding value to a stock has been thoroughly debunked. Several analyses have shown it does not affect the likelihood of approval and only slightly affects the timeline of commercialization. But that doesn't seem to be stopping the Opexics from buying. Of course, this is the same stock that gapped up six months ago because the Red Cross agreed to supply them with blood.
Soon investors will realize that Fast Track designation will not attract a partner nor will it accelerate the initiation of a phase III trial, and then the share price will be headed back towards 1.
I see that I parrotted much of your thoughts before I read them!! I was trying to catch up pitches from memory. Nice leading upthumb and leading downthumb pitches!
+1 on this one since you said what I said even better! ;)
Ho ho. Learn something every day. I see my rationale was torched, but I thank you for it. If Fast Track status doesn't help a stock's chances of making money, then I was mistaken to use that in my rationale.

Why just play when you can learn too?!
Our earliest ancestors understood painting, drawing, storytelling, games, puzzles, memory games, repetition and playing in general were all vital to the growth, development and happiness of children. Little has changed as modern teaching methods use similar activities. The only difference is that now, we have a greater understanding of why these continue to be central to children's development and how best to deliver them.
What has changed is the yast range array of new tools and realia that parents and educators now have at their disposal, from fabric-friendly washable paints to the latest wi-fi connected tablets. We are also far more aware that no two children are the same, and that students all have different learning styles. Some think nothing of sitting reading a book from cover to cover, while others want their experience with sound and motion. Combining the traditional with the modern delivers astonishing results for kids, parents and teachers.
Apps for parents
Apps for teachers
Apps can add to day-to-day teaching and give children the chance to use all their senses and abilities to better understand a topic and to engage with it in ways not previously possible. Being able to create lessons that embrace varied learning styles, can only mean a much richer and enjoyable learning environment for everyone. Our experience in delivering interactive aids for educators of children from 3 to 18, always tells us that you should never expect a child to think how like an adult. They are far more questioning and creative, and great apps will help them develop these skills and build their understanding of the world around them.
