I love the DAKINE Grom Pack. Took it on my recent trip to Aruba and carried it to the beach daily. It was also really helpful on the plane because I didn't need to carry a purse or other carry-on. It served multiple purposes. I use it as a carry-all to work sometimes as well. Looks good, too. Great price for a very useful pack.

With just a couple more days left for the Delhi University Students' Union polls, canvassing by various students' organisations is gathering momentum.
Most students' organisations have divided themselves into groups of four to cover as many colleges as possible. While some parties organised street plays to create awareness about students' issues, others roamed the campus, shouting names of their candidates and handing out pamphlets.
While such campaigning has caused some excitement among sections of the student community, most students did not seem too pleased.
Third-year students at Ramjas College felt that elections were a farce. Dhruv Munjan, who is pursuing BCom (H) from the college, said: "The candidates do not have a clear agenda, but they are backed by powerful lobbies. We found the elections amusing in the first year, but soon realised it was a farce."
Voicing similar sentiments, Aayush Taiyal, another student of Ramjas, said: "There is so much wasteful expenditure during elections with the printing of cards, pamphlets and posters."
Shivali Verma, a first-year student of English (H) at Hansraj College, said: "The DUSU candidates came to our classes just once or twice and some have not even bothered to state what they would be working for."
Meanwhile, All India Students' Association released their manifesto on Tuesday, asking students to "vote for a radical change".
Condemning the "money-muscle-caste based politics" of other parties, AISA's presidential candidate Nikita Sinha said: "Our aim is that the DUSU elections should be fought on students' issues. Most parties make several promises before the elections, but, once they come to power, these are rarely fulfilled."
One of the demands of AISA , which was also featured on the ABVP manifesto, was that there should be a presidential debate. This demand was echoed by students too. "There is a lot of difference in the manner in which elections are conducted in DU and JNU. Having a presidential debate in DU like the one in JNU will help students become informed voters," Dhruv said.

I don't think you know the meaning of "invalid" if you think throwing out two starw men without actually framing any kind of rebuttal invalidates anything.
Sorry, what the hell are you talking about? Last I checked we live in a world where Counter-Strike GO, Planetside 2, Team Fortress 2, Arma II/DayZ, and a ton of other 100% multiplayer shooters exist.
Also, I'm pretty sure the little 4-6 hour campaigns they throw into BF and CoD aren't exactly taking away from their multiplayer design in any meaningful way.
Titanfall is by a new studio with some guys who had success with one particular IP. They're now trying a game format that has never worked very well before. I'm skeptical on them getting it right first time out of the gate and I have a feeling it's going to be more like Starhawk/Warhawk were on PS3 last generation with a small dedicated group of fans but unable to reach the mainstream consumer's consciousness.
Destiny is a much more likely bet to join CoD and BF as a new major online shooter.
Straw man? Go to your local gamestop and tell me how many used PC(or mac!) games they have for sale please. DRM Sony games are loaded with ads in the store, too. Last I checked the One isn't out, how do you know exactly everything about it? Or are you just going doomsday scenario on everything you can pull out of your ass.
I get it, you guys are up in arms that you've had devastatingly ****ty exclusives for the better part of a decade, and are excited that you have a pseudo-legitimate "haha see we told you they suck!" excuse now.
And on your point of "joining CoD/BF as major online shooters," Justin Beiber is popular as well...

Reliv International Reports Fourth-Quarter And Full-Year Financial Results For 2012
"Reliv Europe has recorded 13 straight quarters of year-over-year growth and continues to show strong momentum," he added. "When compared to the previous year, the number of distributors in Europe increased 79.7 percent in 2012 after climbing 77.4 percent in 2011. We expect to officially open in France in the spring of 2013, our 16 th country of operation. We expect France to provide continued opportunities, momentum and improved economies of scale."
"In the United States, Reliv expanded its exclusive LunaRich product line with the January 2013 introduction of LunaRich X™ (concentrated lunasin in capsule form). We also launched a new points-based LunaRich wellness system, which is an easy-to-understand way for our distributors to share LunaRich products and for customers to design their own LunaRich regimen. We believe this system, the first of its kind at Reliv, will help make the leading-edge science of lunasin easier to understand and make our LunaRich products easier to use," Montgomery said.
"In coordination with our public relations agency, we developed an aggressive campaign to build awareness of lunasin and LunaRich," he added. "LunaRich products have appeared on local TV and in newspapers across the country, and we now are targeting national mainstream media. We believe such exposure will lead to increased demand for our products."
"On March 1, 2013, we implemented a new pricing structure. As the result of higher commodity and ingredient costs, we increased prices — our first in more than four years — however, we also increased servings per unit and cut shipping fees. The resulting price per serving is only pennies higher for most products, and we believe the reduced shipping will help eliminate a common point-of-sale objection," Montgomery said."Our strategic objective to simplify our business and increase efficiency continues to produce results," he added. Reliv reported a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses of $175,000 for the fourth quarter of 2012 and $1.93 million for all of 2012 compared with the prior-year periods. Reliv had cash and cash equivalents of $5.80 million as of December 31, 2012, a decrease of $1.37 million from the balance as of December 31, 2011. Net cash generated from operating activities decreased to $2.47 million in 2012 from $2.79 million in 2011.

Milli's costume is powered with simple flower petal patterns made from felt.
Every day on Nick Jr.
Start by making the mask. Print and cut out the Milli Costume Templates. Please note the head portion of the mask template should be enlarged by 20 percent. Trace the mask shape onto the cardboard and cut it out.
Trace the mask template onto the dark-pink felt. Trace the templates onto the different colored felt pieces. Trace 30 mask petals onto pale-pink felt; mask toppers onto yellow felt, and the oval shape for the inner part of the mask onto yellow felt.
Glue the yellow mask toppers to the cardboard piece. Staple one grosgrain ribbon to the underside of each topper for Milli's ponytails.
Attach the elastic string on either side of the mask opening, adjusting its length to fit your child's head.
Glue the dark-pink mask piece, yellow oval, and petals (arranged in flower shapes) to the front of the cardboard mask. Set aside.
For the dress, trace the dress template onto the dark-pink felt. Glue at the shoulder seams and side seams. Turn it over and cut a long slit down the back. Attach 2 of the velcro closures to close the dress after it's placed over your child's head. Glue on the petals in flower shapes. Set aside.
Now, for the boots! These are covers that slip over your child's actual shoes and you can adjust their length as needed. Trace the templates for the boot pieces onto the pale-pink, dark-pink and yellow felt pieces.
Glue the boot pieces together along the curved edge of the front only, starting at the front base of the toe and stopping at the top. Apply the sole, strap, and button pieces. For the back closure, apply 2 Velcro closures. Slip over your child's shoes, then do up the closure in the back. The bottom of the soles remain open, and your child is actually walking on her own shoe's soles.

chronic obstructive lung disease, shortness of breath

Just kidding. We have a list of approved abbreviations for orders, but we also have abbreviations that we use for report and such.
Others we use include:
STD--spot the dot (our falls risk program--look for the yellow dot on the chart and door and look for the yellow falls risk wrist bands)
SOB--short of breath
ACHS--before meals and at hour of sleep
DWT--daily weight
SCDs--sequential teds
CA--cancer (half our unit is oncology, we get a lot of cancer patients)
NHP--nursing home placement
WA--while awake
Cxr--chest x-ray
Bcx--blood culture
I usually write things out on the boards, "nothing by mouth," "up with assistance", and "falls risk" (could you imagine family reaction to STD on someone's board?)
- 0Jan 11, '13 by jpowell6024Get the app "mini nurse lite". When reading charts, I have that pulled up. It has a section that you can type in the letters and it will tell you what they mean. VERY helpful!

1 Million Investors Lose It All: Spain
"The client trusts the brand, but the employee even more," Romero said. "But when you touch their money, people change radically. We've seen death threats, insults, people who come in with shotguns."
Romero heads a Bancaja union and he has seen an increase in the number of complaints from employees who feel they can't go out on the street because they are scared.
Spain's Confederation of Savings Banks declined to comment on gun incidents at bank branches and said all investors in the bank stock had to authorize purchases by signing contracts containing "brief and non-technical language" about the risks they were agreeing to take on. The confederation added in a statement that investments in "preferred stock" were sound when introduced but their value was hurt by market conditions and Spain's deteriorating economy.
Preferred stock entitles the holder to a fixed-rate dividend, paid before any payouts are distributed to holders of ordinary shares- common stock. Holders of such preferred stock also rank higher than ordinary shareholders in receiving proceeds from the liquidation of assets if a company goes into court protection.Romero, like most of his colleagues, sold preferred stock in his bank and believed at the time that he was promoting a good product. They were first offered at the end of the 1990s at a time of economic boom and many people benefited from the returns. The problems started when people started signing up between 2007 and 2009, just as the bubble was bursting. "There was a market that worked at the time and had good returns," he said. "But the crisis came suddenly and it all collapsed." The country's financial crisis has already yielded many dark milestones, including 25 percent unemployment and home foreclosures on an unprecedented scale. Add to that the scandal of up to 1 million Spaniards whose money is frozen or have been lost after banks allegedly mis-sold them complicated financial products.

State to pay $8M to 6 siblings who apparently suffered abuse
Six King County siblings who say they suffered 2½ years of physical abuse and neglect while living with a family friend will get a combined $8 million from Washington state as part of a legal settlement.
Seattle Times Olympia bureau
OLYMPIA — Six siblings who said they suffered 2½ years of physical abuse and neglect while living with a family friend will get a combined $8 million from Washington state as part of a legal settlement reached this week.
The King County children, who are now between 9 and 21 years old, said in a 2012 lawsuit that they were repeatedly beaten and tortured between 2008 and 2011 and that the state allowed the abuse to continue by failing to properly investigate 17 separate tips to the Child Protective Services (CPS) division of the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS).
The family friend, with whom the children were living because they would otherwise have been homeless, denied the children food and access to showers and forced them to attack each other, according to the lawsuit.
On several occasions, the suit said, the children showed up at day care with bruises on their faces.
"Countless concerned citizens — day-care workers, school counselors, even a hair-salon worker — picked up the phone and reported the concerns they had," said attorney Julie Kays, who represented the children along with co-worker Lincoln Beauregard. "Time and again CPS failed to act on these concerns and failed to protect the children."
The family friend, Maria Gonzales Esquivel, who lived near Federal Way, is in jail awaiting trial on multiple assault charges involving one of the children and the child's father. She has pleaded not guilty, and a trial is scheduled for June.
Mindy Chambers, a spokeswoman for DSHS, said that "any abuse of a child is a tragedy. We are glad that the individual accused of this horrible crime is in jail and will be tried before a court."
The settlement was reached Tuesday, one day after the department agreed to pay $3 million to settle another case in which a woman claimed officials allowed sexual abuse to continue by not adequately investigating when she gave birth at age 12 after receiving essentially no prenatal care.
The timing of the settlements appeared coincidental.
Chambers said CPS received more than 41,500 reports of abuse in 2013 alone and works hard to respond but inevitably makes mistakes.
"Any time our practice is not perfect, we have to make a good-faith effort to settle," she said. " We hope the settlement money will be used for the benefit of these children — for education, for treatment, for what they need as they move into and through adulthood."
Kays said the lawsuit was never about the money but holding the state accountable.
"This settlement is never going to erase the memories of what happened," she said. "Nothing can. This lawsuit is important because, hopefully, it will bring about a greater awareness that CPS needs to change the way it conducts child-abuse investigations."

Thompson Creek Metals,
Kevin Loughrey,
Mount Milligan,
Suzy Waite
NEW YORK Domestic molybdenum markets could experience a slight improvement this year, although the environment remains extremely difficult for the moment, Thompson Creek Metals Co. Inc. chairman and chief executive officer Kevin Loughrey told AMM.
Weak molybdenum demand and low prices coupled with a write-down associated with issues at the Denver-based companys Endako molybdenum mine in British Columbia contributed to a 2012 net loss of $546.3 million (amm.com, Feb. 25).
"Its tough now. When the (molybdenum) price drops from $35 per pound to $11.50, that really takes a bite out of us," Loughrey said.
"My only solace is, having been in this business for a long time, when things are looking really, really good you think they will be good forever. Unfortunately, theyre not. And when things are really, really bad you think they will be bad forever. Fortunately, theyre not," he said. "Weve dealt with low prices before, and we can do so again."
While Asian markets are growing slowly and Western Europe remains "terrible," North American markets are "okay but not great," Loughrey said. "Theres a lot of uncertainty and therefore caution in buying patterns (in the U.S.)."
Still, there are indications that the United States is in the early stages of a recovery, with residential construction showing signs of life as well as decent demand from auto manufacturers, he said.
"We are seeing a bit of a turnaround (in the U.S.). It just depends on where the market heads. Does the financing world open up and (start lending) to new projects? Does steel recover? Do oil and gas pick up? All those things impact moly," Loughrey said. "When the steel market improves and you see steel production increase, you will see moly improve."
Challenging molybdenum markets are "a good reason to move into copper and gold," he said, referring to Thompson Creeks Mount Milligan copper-gold project in British Columbia.
The $1.5-billion project is on schedule to begin production in the third quarter and commercial production of copper and gold in the fourth quarter, he said. "Were well advanced on construction."
The company is forecasting annual production of 89 million pounds of copper and 262,000 ounces of gold for the first six years of operation (amm.com, Nov. 9).

Check our Facebook Page for times and special events.
About Our Rescue Group:Welcome to the Lodge:
Cat Nap Lodge is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit cat rescue located in Richland, MI.
We are not a shelter, we are a home. The cats and kittens in our care are treated and cared for as members of our family, until they have a family of their own.
Our goal is not How many can we care for, but How well can we care for them
Our number one priority is to provide our cats and kittens with quality and consistent medical care, nutrition and social enrichment within a loving home.
Because we focus on the quality of our care, we limit the number of cats and kittens that we take in to those who need us the most. These include the dumpster babies, the found in a cardboard box babies, the orphaned and alone babies, and many other sad stories too numerous to count.
We surround all of our cats and kittens with love, just as we would our own children. And then, when the right family comes along who will care for them and love them just as we have, we tearfully say goodbye. Our one consolation is that every time we adopt out a baby, we are able to take in another one who needs us.
When you adopt a cat from Cat Nap Lodge you are saving two lives. The cat you are taking home and the one we take in after.
We cordially invite you into our home to visit and play with our many feline family members. However, remember this is our home. So please call ahead to make an appointment.

Like any good food obsessive, I frequently zone out in front of Food Network. In one episode of the cooking show Chopped, a cocky, attractive young chef announced to the camera: "I always tell my kids, 'Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't do something.' I tell them, '"Can't" is an action and it isn't real.'" I laughed so hard I nearly fell off my throne of Dashed Dreams.
Oh, really, bro? "Can't" isn't real? The Phys Ed Rope Climb and my noodly arms beg to differ. Would you like me to steer a sailboat? Or explain how wifi works? Shyeah, thought not. Stick to cooking and leave "can't" to the pros. Drop the mic. Caven out.
In my experience, redefining your abilities thanks to a chronic illness is one of the hardest things to handle. Most of us start out with this chef's self-assuredness: "can't" is an action and it isn't real! Lifetimes of plucky American can-do determination make us believe that our ill health is something to work extra hard to overcome. Pain is weakness leaving the body! Blast "Eye of the Tiger"! Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and for the love of all that is holy, stop puking!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

also, Jones appears to be the antithesis of G-Funk:
Jones did himself no favors by telling the Post that he sometimes biked
home to McLean, Va., for lunch, and thought aides who worked late into the
night were not being efficient.
On Oct 7, 2009, at 12:03 PM, Rami Naser wrote:
Dear all,
I saw this news article at Politico discussing the NSC and General
Jones' role as NSA. Best, Rami
President Obama's new defense shield: Jim Jones
If National Security Adviser James L. Jones*s status within President
Barack Obama*s White House inner circle once seemed uncertain, it
doesn*t seem that way anymore.
The recent tension between Obama and his top on-the-ground commander in
Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, has made Jones, the only former
general on Obama*s national security team, a crucial player in asserting
Obama's authority over the military and in giving the president
breathing room as he considers the force increase McChrystal has
publicly advocated.
By his own admission, Jones was dismayed in his first months in the
National Security Council job by the blurred lines of authority in the
Obama White House. But he has emerged as one of Obama*s most effective
defenders against a primal fear of Democratic presidents for more than
40 years * being branded as weak on national security issues.
I.M. Destler, co-author of a book on the NSC, said he was skeptical
Jones was a good fit for the job in a free-wheeling White House like
Obama*s. But now he sees Jones as *helping enlarge the president*s
space* to make his own policy.
*Jones is playing something of a role he should be playing. If the
problem is the president*s relations with the military,* Destler
continued, then the fact that Jones is a retired four-star general
*obviously is useful. One has to believe that occurred to Obama when he
appointed Jones.*
The gentle but obvious scolding Jones administered to McChrystal on a
talk show Sunday *"Ideally, it's best for military advice to come up
through the chain of command," he said * was a clear signal that the
White House was not going to tolerate an independent campaign by
McChrystal * and that Jones was the best person to convey that message.
In a speech to a military audience the next day, Defense Secretary
Robert Gates underscored the point that advisers should give their
counsel to the president *candidly and privately.*
David Rothkopf, a former Clinton administration official who has also
studied the NSC, said the recent McChrystal episode demonstrates *where
Jones adds value.*
*In saying, *Look, I know the way this works,* he used very loaded
military language, which is that he [McChrystal] is down in the chain of
command,* he said. *Jones played it exactly right [and] tried to bring
it all under control in a dignified way.*
Other observers say Jones has adapted to Obama*s preferences for a more
wide open process.
*He keeps the door open and that is the role of national security
adviser and what Condi Rice didn*t do,* said Simon Serfaty, of the
Center for Strategic and International Studies who is an old friend of
Jones. *He keeps the president exposed to all options, and that is what
this president wants.*
*In this case,* as well, Serfaty adds, *the general may give the
president an alibi to what he wants to do, which is split the
difference.* That would mean an increase of 12,000-15,000 U.S. combat
troops, according to Serfaty.
For Serfaty and other supporters, this is what they imagined when the
former Marine Corps commandant was Obama*s surprise choice for national
security adviser, but it was not a role Jones seemed to easily embrace
in the opening months of the administration.
Instead, Jones seemed to vanish into the bureaucracy, traveling widely
and focusing on broad strategic concepts while his low-profile deputy,
Tom Donilon, ran the interagency apparatus day-to-day and Obama himself
was the sole face of American power. Appearing somewhat aloof in
meetings, Jones did little to mask his unhappiness that deputies two
rungs lower than him were often accompanying the president they had
grown close to during the campaign to meetings. He was blunt about his
discomfort, telling the Washington Post in May: "I'm a former general. *
I'm used to staffs, and I'm used to a certain order. *.When I first went
into the Oval Office, I didn't expect six other people from the NSC to
go with me.*
*There were multiple centers of power from the beginning,* in the Obama
White House, one Democratic transition official said. *There would be
meetings when Obama would have Donilon, [deputy national security
adviser Denis] McDonough and Lippert all sitting there having completely
different views, and Jones was not used to this. He was used to more
normal military chain of command.*
Jones did himself no favors by telling the Post that he sometimes biked
home to McLean, Va., for lunch, and thought aides who worked late into
the night were not being efficient.
But early chatter about whether Jones would last waned over the summer
as Jones seemed to carve out a role for himself as a principal among
principals, rather than a staffer helping deliver the president options
synthesized in the interagency process.
He showed his media savvy when he allowed Bob Woodward, The Post*s
veteran White House chronicler, to accompany him on a trip to
Afghanistan and write about it. In a more recent interview with
Woodward, shortly after Woodward had revealed McChrystal*s classified
assessment justifying the request for 40,000 more US troops to be
deployed to Afghanistan, he said the White House would conduct a
strategy review before answering McChrystal*s request.
A recent New York Times article revealed that Jones was, along with Vice
President Joe Biden, among the Afghan surge skeptics in Obama*s national
security cabinet.
*He is much more assertive than early on,* said one Democratic foreign
policy expert who did not want to be named. *That is partly the result
of knowing that they can*t afford for him to leave.*
In his relations with the military * as in his attempts to alter the
health care system * Obama has tried to avoid the problems that
undermined President Bill Clinton. The former Arkansas governor, who,
like Obama, never served in the military, began his administration with
an unexpected fight with the Pentagon over overturning the ban on open
gays and lesbians in the armed services. The relationship never really
Jones, with his reserved John Wayne style and Midwestern accent and the
credential of having informally advised both Obama and Sen. John McCain,
came recommended by outsiders such as former Sen. Chuck Hagel, the
Nebraska Republican, as well as by Obama*s longtime foreign policy
adviser, Mark Lippert, who is leaving the NSC to resume service in the
*From a political perspective, I think having a widely respected retired
Marine four-star general in your administration makes things a lot
easier to disagree with the uniformed services than it would if
[Obama*s] national security adviser were a Washington lawyer,* said
Andrew Exum, a fellow at the Center for a New American Security, and a
veteran of the war in Afghanistan who served as an adviser to
McChrystal*s initial assessment team.
While acknowledging that Jones is not from the same
counterinsurgency-oriented, "all star" officers personified by
McChrystal and his boss, Gen. David Petraeus, Exum said it would be a
mistake to underestimate the respect a retired four-star such as Jones
"There may be disagreements within the current uniformed military and
with Gen. Jones, but those are strategic disagreements," Exum said.
But while Jones* public profile and private clout both appear ascendant,
some Democrats say it was his job to anticipate and head off the public
divisions that now seem to have overtaken the Obama administration*s
Afghan policy.
*He should have been flagging this stuff,* said the Democratic foreign
policy expert. *And he should have been helping them with how to deal
with the military if they rethink the policy and set it up [so the
military] will not go bonkers. And if anybody knows it, if should be
George Friedman wrote:
Biden is a seriously player in foreign policy in the administration.
He is used for these missions and it is being recognized that he says
the things that the administration is thinking but doesn*t want to say
without deniabiility. He is actually being used as the head of the
NSC usually is*as the man who knows what the president really thinks.
SecStates are frequently marginalized, selected for political
reasons. Head of NSC is always a player. Biden is a super-NSC head.
Interesting in its way, but ultimately just a bureaucratic oddity.

before the end of the month to put forth alternatives to
the anti-missile shield defense system project that was
cancelled last month.
Biden, who will visit the three countries between the
20-24 October, will present an offer to Warsaw and Prague,
according to a Gazeta Wyborcza source in the White House,
to host a logistics base and operational headquarters for
the SM-3 missiles which are replacing the George W.
Bush-era Ground Based Interceptors.
Polish Foreign Ministry spokesperson Piotr Paszkowski
confirmed that the US has offered Poland a written
proposal to take part in the new anti-missile defense
system. The White House confirmed that Vice President Joe
Biden will meet with the Prime Ministers and Presidents of
Poland, the Czech Republic and Romania.
John Glenn, a senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund of
the United States, claims that the choice of Vice
President to carry out the visit is essential to keep
healthy relations with the three countries that did not
receive the news the anti-missile defense project
cancellation very positively. Current US President Barack
Obama announced on 17 September, the date of the 70th
anniversary of the Soviet Union invasion of Poland in
1939, that the previous anti-missile shield agreement
would be cancelled.
*It is a smart move by Obama * to send a very high-ranking
representative after a period of concern in Warsaw and
Prague after the decision to change the concept of
anti-missile defense on 17 September. Biden is a good
choice, he is comfortable for Central Europe as concerns
Russia,* claims Glenn.

Tyco International Management Discusses Q3 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
I would like to remind you that during the course of today's call, we will be providing certain forward-looking information. We ask that you look at today's press release and read through the forward-looking cautionary informational statements that we've included there. In addition, we will use certain non-GAAP measures in our discussions, and we ask that you read through the sections of our press release that address the use of these items.
The press release issued this morning and all related tables, as well as the conference call slides, can be found on the Investor Relations portion of our website at tyco.com. Please also note that we'll be filing our quarterly SEC Form 10-Q later today.
Certain items to be discussed during today's call, including those related to the company's proposed separation, are addressed in a proxy statement which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Before making any voting decision, investors are urged to read the proxy statement regarding the proposed separation and other -- any other relevant documents carefully in their entirety because they contain important information about the proposed separation. Free copies of the proxy statement and other documents filed with the SEC by Tyco can be obtained through the SEC's website, as well as through Tyco's website.
I would also like to remind you that we are in a registration period due to the various filings related to the proposed separation and the announced merger of our Flow Control business with Pentair. As a result, we will not be able to answer questions related to those items and ask that you keep this in mind during the Q&A session.In discussing our segment operations, when we refer to changes in average revenue per user, backlog and order activity, these figures exclude the impact of foreign currency. Additionally, references to our operating margins during the call exclude special items, and these metrics are non-GAAP measures. Again, these non-GAAP measures are reconciled in the schedules attached to our press release.

Exercise Tips for Families: Physical Activity for Busy Lifestyles
As Americans, we spend a lot of money and time on getting our children into elite sports teams, creating new hiking trails, and building expensive recreational centers at schools. So if we have the access to exercise, why are we facing an obesity crisis? The answer is simple: Our lives are so busy that we don't have time to work exercise into our daily routines.
Let's take a look at a typical American family:
Justin is a nine-year-old boy with a BMI over the 95th percentile. Everyday after school he goes to an after-school day care where he plays indoors with other kids until his mother picks him and his brother up, after stopping at the daycare his sister attends. When they arrive home, his mother prepares dinner while Justin and his brother do their homework. He has no friends around the neighborhood, since most of the kids are younger than he is. His parents don't feel comfortable allowing him to play outside by himself because of safety concerns. After dinner he plays video games and watches TV before going to bed. He must get to bed early, since he has to get up early enough for parents to take his sister to day care before school starts. On Saturdays they usually visit grandparents outside of town and go shopping or run errands around town. By Sunday, the parents are tired and spend the day doing laundry, resting, and getting ready for the week.
What's Missing?
There is one thing missing in this scenario: exercise. However, adding exercise into the routine doesn't have to be complicated. Even though this family has been doing everything right as far as eating habits are concerned, they need to make time to exercise in order to keep the family healthy. If this family started preparing meals on Sunday, they could cut down on meal preparation. Then, Justin's mother could take the kids to the park around 5:30 p.m. and let them play outside for an hour. Then they could go home, leaving the car at the park and walk back after dinner. This exercise routine takes less than two hours and fits easily into their busy schedule.

It is funny how businesses approach marketing in the digital age. Particularly smaller brick and mortar businesses often are lost or ignore the digital. Particular problems arise when they fall into one of 3 categories:
1. An I don't need that attitude – maybe they don't but if the competition has a good plan its probably going to take its toll
2. A build it and they will come mentality – Regardless of what they are doing, there has to be an effort towards a goal, just slapping up a website or a Facebook page just isn't going to do it.
3. A hands off approach, similar to number two. You need a strategy and it may or may not include the digital world (it probably should) but it takes ongoing work, building relationships with customers, responding to feedback, etc. It's not just putting an advertisement in the local paper anymore.
Sounds like KYDEX is on the mark.

On average, among the 2,020 adults over 18 who were polled for the American Psychological Association, people reported their stress levels as 4.9 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 meaning just about no stress and 10 meaning tons. For Millennials, though, it was higher: their average self-reported stress level was 5.4.
The top source of stress for these young people was work (or maybe, considering that as many as 13% of Millennials are still unemployed, the lack of it). The top choice for dealing with stress was music (listening to it, probably streaming via something like Pandora or Spotify).

Need help? Advice?
10-6 EST, m-f
Even when we're all grown up, being rocked feels nice, whether we're lounging on a pool float or swinging lazily in a hammock. So the idea of a velvety robotic chair that gently swings us up and down and side to side, and plays nature sounds? That sounds like some serious space-age relaxation!
Unfortunately, only babies get to enjoy the 4Moms mamaRoo Plush chair – but what a chair it is! This fantastic seat for babies does what neither a bouncer nor a swing can do: it uses robotic technology to imitate the precise motions that parents use to soothe babies, and rock and bounce them to sleep. Since many babies won't calm down or doze off without motion, the mamaRoo Plush infant seat can save you many hours of rocking, or driving the car around the block. There are five mamaRoo motions:
Car Ride
Tree Swing
Ocean Wave
You can adjust the speed of each motion to suit your baby's tastes: this model offers higher speeds than past models, to soothe crying and colicky babies. Slower settings are also provided, to gently rock your child to sleep. Either way, an easy button-operated recline lets you adjust the angle so baby can play or nap, and a 3-point harness keeps her safely locked in place. The velvety-soft mamaRoo Plush seat fabric can be unzipped and removed for machine washing, too.
The 4Moms mamaRoo Plush infant seat also has two toy options to keep babies entertained: an overhead mobile with three removable balls (black and white on one side, for younger babies, and colorful on the other), and a new locking toy bar, which pivots out of the way for easy seat access.
The LCD interface for the mamaRoo Plush baby seat has been updated for, as well: a sleek display lets you select the motion and speed, as well as five optional nature sounds. You can plug in your iPod or other mp3 player to put on your own tunes, as well. The soft whoo-whoo sound of the mamaRoo seat's motor is soothing on its own, as well, but if you don't like it, it's easy enough to use the music or nature sounds to cover it up. Don't worry about batteries: the mamaRoo Plush baby seat gets its power from a wall outlet.
Finally, the 2012 mamaRoo Plush infant from 4Moms now has a 1-year warranty – we want both you and the baby to be satisfied! Although we know you'll only really be happy if you can sit in one too.

Prior to filing a patent application at the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO"), an applicant seeking patent protection for an invention should consider conducting a prior art search. Also known as a patentability search, a prior art search involves discovering and examining art, such as issued patents, published patent applications, and other published documents, that can affect the potential to obtain a patent on the invention. More exhaustive prior art searches may also include discovering and examining any prior uses or prior sales of technology related to the invention.

Thanks to Tibor Jager for the review comments. Ryan is right. The current low-level API is designed for developers who understand the difference between PKCS #1 v1.5 and RSA OAEP, and the problems with encryption without message authentication code. It'd be a good idea to add a short paragraph to the Security Considerations section about such issues (I seem to recall such a paragraph already exists -- perhaps it just needs to be edited), but the API specification needs to be mainly about specifying the API.

I come from a family of cooks. Every year, I look forward to the taste of my aunt's cornbread dressing and my mom's sweet potato casserole at Thanksgiving dinner. I like to take on the desserts -- cakes, trifles and pies for about 50 people. On many occasions, I have hosted and organized the event, too.
When there's this much oven time, counter space and refrigerator room involved, I resort to list making. Below is a list of holiday tasks. Use it to develop your own timeline for this year's Thanksgiving feast. May it be one of your easiest and most delicious ones ever!
• I always make my sweet potato and vegetable casseroles about this far in advance. They store well in the freezer. Just make sure to wrap them up well.
• Make a grocery list.
• Purchase all your nonperishable staples. Last-minute groceries should include only foods that spoil quickly.
• Decide on your guest list. Now's even a good time to make your seating arrangements.
• Sort through your serving dishes. Label the dishes, matching recipe to platter.
• Bar cookies freeze well. Make them in advance and store them in the freezer. Same for layer cakes. Don't assemble the cake until you are ready to defrost and serve it, though.
• This week at the grocery, pick up all those extra canned or bottled drinks for your company.
• Buy holiday-themed paper plates and napkins. I like to use them for dessert. Not only are the paper plates festive, but no one has to wash those dainty, china, dessert dishes.
• Check the linen closet to make sure your tablecloth is clean and ready to use. Do you have enough napkins for all your guests?
• This is when we order the turkey in my family.
• If your local bakery or fancy food store makes a holiday specialty you like, order it this week. In some cases, they'll need even more notice.
• Buy fresh cranberries. In fact, buy extra now, while they are available. You can store them in your freezer for up to one year.
• Pick up any pre-ordered items.
• Buy your perishables.
• Start cooking.
• Clean the house.
• Start setting the table. • If you work during the day, remember to prep your ingredients ahead of time and store them in plastic sandwich bags or bowls. That way they'll be ready when you really start cooking.
• The day before Thanksgiving, I run to my local florist just before they close. That way, I am able to purchase flowers for the table at a discount.

Folly Beach is a barrier island, just six miles long and the closest beach to historical Charleston, South Carolina. Known to locals as 'the Edge of America', Folly Beach is a calm, relaxed and eclectic beach community with surf shops, restaurants, gift shops, offices, and bars along Center Street; the main road and gateway to the community.
Folly Beach is a great place to play in the waves, collect seashells, and walk to the lighthouse. A fishing pier and beautiful views make Folly Beach one of the last old-timey beaches in the area. Folly Beach is also home to historical and cultural sites; a maritime forest; Morris Island Lighthouse; gourmet food, endangered species of birds; and southern hospitality.
Folly Beach is also one of the best surfing destinations on the East Coast. There are numerous surf spots, the most popular being the Washout, 10th Street and the Folly Beach Pier.
Charleston is a major tourist destination due to its prominent art, music, food and fashion scenes, and since its establishment over 300 years ago, the historic areas of the city remain intact and as beautiful and picturesque as ever, leaving visitors with an old world feel. Stroll down cobblestone streets past magnificent churches, grand mansions and beautiful gardens, all meticulously maintained. History buffs will relish the old plantations and numerous historical museums dedicated to the Civil War and the Old South.
Steeped in tradition, Charleston still manages a modern flare. Fine restaurants featuring gourmet Southern cuisine and fashionable boutiques line the streets of downtown. Famous golf courses, top-rated tennis courts, pristine beaches, monumental battleships and beautifully preserved architecture barely scratches the surface of attractions in Charleston. You can be as adventurous or as tame as you like. Best of all, the mild climate means you can enjoy most of the sights year-round.
