Where Are You Coming From Today?
Follow us on:
Disclaimer: The information in this document is written in response to an announcement by the government of Argentina about a permanent change in the time zone and daylight saving time for the province of San Luis San Luis starting in 2009.
The steps provided in this bulletin were created to mitigate the impacts that the daylight saving time changes will cause for customers in San Luis, Argentina. These are the impacts primarily anticipated at the time this document was written, and the effects that customers may face are not restricted to them.
The suggested actions on this document might receive additional testing. The information described in this document may change without notice.
In addition, customers should be aware that further guidance will be provided at any time by Microsoft.
Special notes: The official decree changing the time zone and DST dates in San Luis was published by the government on the following site: http://www.diputados.sanluis.gov.ar/diputadosasp/paginas/verNorma.asp?NormaID=276
The information on this bulletin is based on this document. Additional information is also available on: http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/SL/VerBoletin.asp?BoletinID=273
Argentina's San Luis province will officially observe a new time zone to adequate the time zone of the province with their geographic location. The new time zone information is the following:
Since the new time zone published by the government is different from any time zone defined in the previous years, Windows-based computers will not correctly interpret the time that is related to the transition to or from daylight saving time.
In addition to Microsoft products, other software, OS releases and hardware (phones, routers, switches and managed devices) may require updates and/or changes.
At this moment Microsoft is studying the feasibility of a hotfix to update the Windows Operating Systems with a new time zone definition for San Luis. Before release a hotfix Microsoft needs to follow test procedures to minimize the possibility of any adverse effect. We cannot guarantee that a hotfix will be released.
This document describes the supported workaround that needs to be followed prior to the change on Sunday April 11th. Customers that follow this guide will need to change back to the proper time zone before the next DST period starts.
Before the next DST period starts we will publish advice and recommendations on the LATAM Team Blog at http://blogs.technet.com/latam.
There is a difference between the DST Dates and time zone established in previous years and the new definition adopted the San Luis government. We are going to call this difference "Delta Period".
Depend of the time zone that the machine was configured to we can have a delta period at the end of the DST as follows:
The inconvenience experienced by Outlook client users happens for all appointments during the delta period that were created before the administrators update the DST dates on the operating system.
Those appointments will be off 1 hour. This may happen for both recurring and single-instance appointments.
The appointments created after the DST dates have been updated on the operating system will have the correct time.
To answer this question, we need to understand how Outlook schedule meetings and appointments:
Three factors affect the scheduling of a meeting and appointment in Outlook:
Outlook time stamps the message request with the Greenwich Mean Time for the meeting. Outlook calculates Greenwich Mean Time by using the computer's clock time, plus or minus the local time zone adjustment, minus (depending upon the time of year) the daylight-saving time adjustment.
As soon as Outlook receives the meeting request it will calculate the meeting time for the recipient and schedule it on the calendar. If any of the three factors listed earlier are incorrect at that time, the meeting time will be incorrect. You cannot correct the time after the fact by correcting the factor in error; you must open the meeting request and manually correct the scheduled time.
Customer needs to follow the steps bellow to update the Operating Systems and Outlook calendar.
This section describes the anticipated impacts of the changes. We recommend customers to evaluate steps before apply on their environment.
Recently Paraguay changed their DST period to end on the Second Saturday of April at 23:59:59. Microsoft released a Time Zone cumulative update on March of 2010 that includes the new definition for GMT-04:00 Asuncion. The new date matches the date adopted by San Luis.
However, the start of the DST period for GMT-04:00 Asuncion is not the same as the date selected by San Luis. User and administrators will be required to take further actions before the next DST period starts in October of 2010. A fallback procedure will be published later on http://blogs.technet.com/latam.
Applies to:
The following graph shows a summary of tasks associated with this change:
Below is a brief description of these activities:
As fast as possible, Before April 11th 2010
Install KB 981128 AND change machine time zone to '(GMT -4:00) Asuncion' in Windows. This section is detailed in the "Changing Windows OS time zone to '(GMT -4:00) Asuncion'"
As soon as operating system is updated
Adjust Outlook calendar appointments. This section is explained in 'Adjusting Outlook calendars for users in San Luis who moved to '(GMT -04:00) Asuncion''
Before October 2010.
Period that users will have to install the next hotfix with a cumulative update for time zones and change the computer time zone to a new time zone and readjust Outlook calendar appointments to the new time zone definition.
If apply the KB981128 or KB914387 is a not possible user will have to wait until the DST fallback on April 11th of 2010 and change the machines to a time zone with a definition of GMT-04:00 like GMT-04 Asuncion or GMT-04:00 Georgetown.
However, the start of the DST period for GMT-04:00 Asuncion is not the same as the date selected by San Luis. Users and administrators will be required to take further actions before the next DST period starts in October of 2010. A fallback procedure will be published later on http://blogs.technet.com/latam.
The following graph shows a summary of tasks associated with this change:
Wait until April 11th 2010
Change machine time zone to '(GMT -4:00) Asuncion' in Windows. This section is detailed in the "Changing Windows OS time zone to '(GMT -4:00) Asuncion'"
Attention: To change the computer to GMT-04:00 Asuncion before April 11, 2010 is necessary to apply the KB981128 (KB914387 for Windows 2000 users). This KB updated the definition of the GMT-04:00 Asuncion. The new definition has the same DST end date as the one adopted by San Luis. Failure to do so will cause the machine to change time before the correct date.
In order to change the computer time zone to '(GMT -4:00) Asuncion', please follow the steps below:
For Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 machines:
Click 'Change time zone…' button:
For Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 machines:
Warning: If your domain have multiples site in different countries make sure that you only deploy this solution to machines that are located in San Luis. We recommend customers to evaluate the alternative and test before apply on their production environment.
Note: this procedure is only supported in Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 Operating Systems. Users running Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 will have to use the procedures specified in 'Changing Windows OS time zone to '(GMT -04:00) Asuncion'' section.
On Active Directory environments, administrators may want to automate the change of time zones to '(GMT-04:00) Asuncion'. This section explains how to deploy this time zone change via startup script. These procedures need to be executed in a Domain Controller or another machine with Admin Tools installed.
After performing all the steps below, all machines need to be restarted to automatically change the computer time zone. To avoid restarting a specific machine, please execute the procedures 'Changing Windows PC Operating Systems time zone' above to move this machine to '(GMT -04:00) Asuncion' time zone.
The script below can be used to change the current time zone to '(GMT -04:00) Asuncion' of the client computer. Then, the script writes an event to the Application log of the client computer where the script was run.

3 M&A Targets for Yahoo!
The problems with Zynga (ZYNGA) have long been known, but the company is starting to turn the ship around.
The San Francisco-based social gaming company recently turned a profit, earning 1 cent a share on $311.1 million in revenue. Daily active users (DAUs) climbed 12% year-over-year, and Zynga is still fairly cheap, when you strip out the $1.65 billion in cash and the huge San Francisco headquarters, which it owns. Having been to San Francisco a number of times over the past year, that real estate is not cheap, and it's in a prime location, 650 Townsend Street.At a market cap of $2.77 billion, despite the recent run up in anticipation of online gambling, perhaps it could make sense for Mayer and her team to think about adding this "dog" to its portfolio. Shares of Zynga have jumped 50.2% year-to-date.

Plug your Mac mini into your car
Will it turn that Datsun into KITT? I'll leave that up to you... But Carnetix has a great way to cram that Mac mini into your dashboard and fuel it's power needs at the same time. The CNX-P1900 is a power regulator for your car that's fully compatible with the mini. Not only does it provide a clean power supply to the machine, but it supports sleep mode! Carnetix also has a Y-cable for the power button on the mini, so you can have a dashboard power button, yet still easily remove your CPU if necessary. You'll have enough power to run not just the mini, but one of those teensy little screens too. Perhaps with a little bit of effort your car could drive you to work, right? The regulator itself is a reasonable $99.95, which is probably a drop in the bucket to Knight Industries.

Since 2005, UNESCO's Youth Development and Violence Prevention Programme has aimed to reduce the risk of social exclusion and youth gang involvement in Central America.
In 2005, several Member States in Central America requested technical assistance from UNESCO to address the magnitude of the phenomenon of youth violence.
In response, the Youth Development and Violence Prevention Programme developed projects in various Central American countries. Each project runs over a period of 12 to 15 months. The goal is to establish a strategy for youth violence prevention in the region, and to encourage the governments of the participating UNESCO Member States to incorporate this strategy into their national policies.
UNESCO has supported four projects in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. A fifth project is expected to be implemented in the second semester of 2009 in the Dominican Republic.
Projects are implemented within the framework of the UNESCO strategy for the sub-region. They include integrated activities with and for youth at risk, and address causes of violence in schools, communities and families.
Projects include 5 main strategic priorities:
- Education: promotion of activities in schools and creation of training courses for teachers involved with youths at risk;
- Culture: development of identity benchmarks for the prevention of violence through cultural activities and best practices;
- Communication: promotion of a more just perception of youths through "Youth for Youth" communication campaigns and the support of local radio and television stations and websites;
- Social Sciences: promotion and dissemination of knowledge and advocacy as well as strengthening of linkages with policy-makers;
- Entrepreneurship: capacity-building for youths at risk in micro-enterprise management.
UNESCO is also working to implement an Observatory in the region, in close collaboration with its Management of Social Transformations (MOST) Programme. The Observatory, which is planned to be established in Guatemala, will provide tools for researchers, NGOs and civil society. Its main objective will be to help decision-makers frame relevant prevention policies to fight youth-related violence. The overall objective is to establish a culture of prevention in the region, and to eventually use these policies to help other regions of the world stem youth violence.
Taking into account the transnational nature of the phenomenon of youth violence, UNESCO is working to build a cooperation network between the affected Central American countries. Therefore, a High Level Forum of Ministers and policy-makers in charge of youth issues was created in order to promote an open dialogue and the sharing of knowledge, best practices and concerns regarding violence prevention and youth development policies, between the Central American countries. The Forum also strives to strengthen the links between public policy and academic research on the issue, in order to create more effective interventions based on serious studies.Back to top

Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense In America Holding "Stroller Jams" Across The Country
INDIANAPOLIS, April 11, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As the Senate nears a vote on legislation that would strengthen the nation's gun laws, members of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America are holding "Stroller Jams" across the country at their Senators' in-district offices and asking them to vote "yes" for new and stronger gun laws.
Beginning today, moms bring their children to "Stroller Jams" at the in-district offices of their senators, demanding action on new and stronger gun laws, including expanded background checks, strong anti-trafficking and straw purchasing measures, and the Assault Weapons Ban amendment. Indiana, Arizona, Oklahoma, Virginia, Maine and North Carolina are among the states planning "Stroller Jams."
"Our elected officials need to understand how important new and stronger gun laws are to the safety of our children and families before they vote; eight American children are shot and killed every day in this country," said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. "We want our Senators to know we expect them to vote in our children's best interests, not for special interests."
On Thursday, April 11, Moms Demand Action is asking moms unable to attend a "Stroller Jam" in-person to show their support by participating in a virtual "Stroller Jam." From 1 to 3 p.m. EDT, Moms are asked to go to http://momsdemandaction.org/twitter/ to Fast Tweet their Senators a customized "Stroller Jam" message. For a list of "Stroller Jam" events across the country, go to: http://momsdemandaction.org/stroller-jam/.About Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in AmericaMuch like Mothers Against Drunk Driving was created to change laws regarding drunk driving, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America ( www.momsdemandaction.org) was created to build support for common-sense gun legislation. The nonpartisan grassroots movement of American mothers is demanding new and stronger solutions to lax gun laws and loopholes that jeopardize the safety of our children and families. In just four months, the organization has tens of thousands of members with more than 90 chapters across the United States. SOURCE Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America

NEW ORLEANS Some WWE superstars got their hands dirty on the Westbank Friday, helping build a playground at Woodland West Elementary.
The group teamed up with Kaboom to give students a new opportunity to learn outside the classroom.
The group came to lend a helping hand and said it is all about giving back to the community.
Among the dozens of volunteers were WWE superstars, like R Truth and Xavier Woods. The group came to get their hands dirty and show the students what star power looks like outside the ring.
'This is very much needed,' said R. Truth. 'It is all about giving back. I believe how you get ahead is by giving back.'
The school only had a field with virtually no playground for the kids.
The stars jumped to action and after warming up the crowd, with many volunteers from the metro area pitching in.
Amy Hoyle, the school principal, was at times emotional and is grateful for the help.
'This is going to be life-changing for students because they are here every day and for years we have had nothing but an open field,' Hoyle said. 'Now they will have a play ground out here, a classroom, and a garden to learn from.'
The crew will have the playground complete by Friday afternoon and ready for students.

hurricane1División en sílabas: hur·ri·cane
- In fact, tropical storms or hurricanes have ended many droughts in Texas, and other parts of the world.
- Severe tropical cyclones correspond to the hurricanes or typhoons of other parts of the world.
- First, wind and water erode it, especially during tropical storms and hurricanes.
mid 16th century: from Spanish huracán, probably from Taino hurakán 'god of the storm'.
When Christopher Columbus arrived in the Caribbean in 1492 he encountered the Arawak. These peaceful people did not long survive the coming of the Spanish, and are thought to have died out as a result of the diseases carried by the Europeans and attacks by their aggressive neighbours, the Carib. One part of their culture lives on in the term hurricane for a violent storm, specifically a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean. The word came into English via Spanish huracán from the name of the Arawak god of the storm, Hurakan. See also typhoon, tornado

Firework restrictions throughout Utah
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Stubbornly hot and dry conditions have persisted throughout Utah and are expected to continue through the Fourth of July holiday prompting many cities and towns to tighten firework restrictions, and at least four to cancel their firework displays.
Earlier this week Gov. Gary Herbert said that the state has already done all that it can do to ban fires and fireworks and called on the cities and towns of Utah to restrict fireworks as they see fit.
"Fireworks are banned throughout the state today. As of June 23, that ban has been in place for every place except for the incorporated areas of our state. So the cities and local government officials have the ability to regulate that," Herbert said last week.
The towns of Coalville, Henefer, Hurricane and Marysvale have cancelled their annual holiday firework displays because of the extreme conditions.
The Utah state fire marshal has asked that cities submit their restrictions to them. Here is a list of cities that have established firework restrictions.
Beaver County
Any aerial fireworks that shoot greater than 10 feet in height are banned within Milford city limits. Fireworks that don't rise fewer than 10 feet in the air are permitted on private property that has at least 10 feet of clearance. For more information go to http://www.milfordut.com/
Box Elder County
Brigham City
Visit Brigham City's web site to see the updated firework restrictions map. Fireworks are restricted along the east bench (foothills) in the urban wild land interface from 1500 North to the south Brigham City boundary, east of residential property on Highland Blvd, 675 North, Aspen Drive, Carolyn Place, Orchard Place, Oak Place, Bott Avenue, Sycamore Circle, Sheri Circle, 1300 East, Bywater Way, and Kaylynne Circle; east of a line running due south from Highland Boulevard to Hwy 89/91; east of Hwy 89/91 from the mouth of the canyon to Michelle Drive; east of residential property on Michelle Drive; Brigham City Airport and surrounding areas inside of the city limits; the annexed areas of the Bear River Bird Refuge (west of I-15 running along the city limit boundaries and in the unincorporated areas surrounding Brigham City.
Cache County
Hyde Park
All areas east of 400 East from South border to North of the city are restricted.
All areas east of 1300 East are restricted.
All areas west of 2400 West and east of 800 East are restricted.
All areas north of 400 North and east of 1700 East, south of 400 North and east of 1400 East are restricted.

- You may have seen Aimee Addison recently in Penthouse and I was lucky enough to snag this stunning blonde long legged beauty for her very first hardcore scene right here on Amateur Allure. Aimee is 5 ft 8, has large 34C tits and a very small waist. She is truly a dream and she can really work a cock too. She takes my cock into her gorgeous wet mouth, and then I fucked her amazing tight pussy. I shoot a thick river of cum into her mouth and watch is slide right down her throat. Awesome!

Does Acupuncture Work?
Submitted by DeepDiveAdmin on Aug 12, 2008
Do you suffer from chronic pain? Maybe acupuncture is just what the doctor ordered. Millions of people say that acupuncture has alleviated their suffering and boosted their bodies, but others insist that it's more rooted in belief than scientific fact. Is acupuncture really the cure for what ails you, or does it only turn you into a human pincushion?

There are a lot of little things you have to be aware of to prevent crashes with the client, that list up front is a good start to things that really should be fixed. I don't know that I can agree with redoing the client, as that can entail recoding a VERY large chunk of the game, and taking it back to beta. It really depends on how everything is used and interacts as to what the solutions are.

Mara Ad-Venture Fund
There is a shortage of early-stage capital flowing to African entrepreneurs. This lack of capital constricts the emergence of new businesses and has a detrimental effect on national economies in Africa. Although most entrepreneurs have a strong desire to "bootstrap their start-ups", many do not have "pioneer capital" or support services they need to start and grow viable enterprises.
The Mara Ad-Venture Fund will offer early-stage startup and growth capital to high potential African entrepreneurs. The funding will be complemented by a suite of optional support services. The Mara Ad-Venture Fund will serve up to 1,000 entrepreneurs in five countries within five years and seek to prove a new model of early stage business support.
The Mara Ad-Venture Fund is looking to invest in businesses that have strong entrepreneurial management and the potential to grow quickly to a significant size, yielding a significant return on the investment in the medium term. Mara Ad-Venture Fund will invest in projects that:
- are commercially viable
- have Identifiable market
- have strong management
- have sustainable competitive advantage
Once we invest in a business, we work together with management to design a strategy, capital structure and equity incentives that will enable the achievement of mutually agreed performance objectives.
Mara Ad-Venture Fund is currently planning a roll-out in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook to be up to date with our activities!

Book News: Kim Jong Un Reportedly Gave 'Mein Kampf' As Gifts
By editor
Originally published on Wed June 19, 2013 9:52 am
The daily lowdown on books, publishing, and the occasional author behaving badly.
- Kim Jong Un gave top officials in North Korea copies of Adolf Hitler's autobiography, Mein Kampf, as gifts on his birthday last January, according to a report in New Focus International, a newspaper written largely by North Korean defectors. It seems the book was intended to promote a study of Hitler's economic reforms, and was not necessarily meant as an endorsement of Nazism. New Focus International, which was founded by a former North Korean poet laureate, cites "a DPRK official in China," who told the paper that Kim admired the way Hitler reformed Germany's economy and military after the ravages of the first World War. If the reports are true, North Korea isn't the only place Mein Kampf has found an unlikely readership — Businessweek said last year that the book had become a bestseller in India.
- VICE has apologized for its "Last Words" fashion spread depicting the suicides of female authors such as Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolf. The magazine removed the post from its website (the photo shoot is still in the print version), and issued a statement from the editors: "The fashion spreads in VICE magazine are always unconventional and approached with an art editorial point-of-view rather than a typical fashion photo-editorial one. Our main goal is to create artful images, with the fashion message following, rather than leading. 'Last Words' was created in this tradition and focused on the demise of a set of writers whose lives we very much wish weren't cut tragically short, especially at their own hands. We will no longer display 'Last Words' on our website and apologize to anyone who was hurt or offended." NPR's Linda Holmes has an excellent take on the whole thing over at the Monkey See blog.
- For The New Yorker, Thomas Beller imagines which historical writers would have been good on Twitter: "Gertrude Stein, with her gnomish, arty, aphoristic tendencies, would seem to be ideal. 'There is no there there' may be one of the great proto-tweets."
- Author, "New Journalism" icon and wearer of white suits Tom Wolfe is said to be working on a book called The Kingdom of Speech. According to Publisher's Marketplace, the book is "a nonfiction account of scholarship proposing that humans are divided from animals by their power of speech." Wolfe has hinted at the idea before, notably in a 2006 lecture called "The Human Beast." He said, "Speech gave the beast its first ability to ask questions, and undoubtedly one of the first expressed his sudden but insatiable anxiety as to how he got here and what this agonizing struggle called life is all about. To this day, the beast needs, can't live without, some explanation as the basis of whatever status he may think he possesses. For that reason, extraordinary individuals have been able to change history with their words alone, without the assistance of followers, money, or politicians."
- For The New Republic, Molly Fischer considers the folly of marathon reading: "Especially at 3:50 a.m., a marathon reading can look a lot like a pious exercise [in] high-culture martyrdom — behold, Great Books instead of text messages! But ... the spirit of the marathon reading is more elusive."

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners

"Sounds like Jimenez wants to be an assignment editor," quips Sharon Rosenhause, managing editor of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "It strikes me as extremely bad public policy. If an official at any governmental level has a problem with coverage, there's an appropriate way to deal with it, and this doesn't seem like the appropriate way. You don't keep people from exercising their First Amendment rights." Had Jimenez attempted to bar a Sun-Sentinel reporter, Rosenhause assures that the paper's editors would send that reporter "and probably our lawyer as well."
Miami Herald managing editor Judy Miller echoes Rosenhause's comments. "I can tell you that the Herald does not allow story subjects to reporter-shop," she says. "If a reporter has written a tough story and all they did was write a story the subject is unhappy with, then it's not fair play for that reporter to be denied access to press conferences. If we think a reporter can't be fair, we will deal with that. But we deal with it."
The U.S. Attorney is sure to have a fight on his hands if he persists in trying to bar Ike Seamans from reporting on his office. Seamans says he was "stung" by the charges he is unfair and dishonest. "Two times in my 37-year career, government officials have successfully barred me from covering news events because they were unhappy with one of my stories. That happened in Cuba and the Soviet Union," he writes via e-mail from Israel. "It's certainly unusual that a high-ranking U.S. Justice Department official would attempt to do the same."
For her part, Yvette Miley, WTVJ's news director, looks forward to having an "open discussion" with Jimenez about the Seamans flap in order to, among other things, give him a chance to deliver the blackball threat to her face. "I'd like to hear him say it so I can be clear and direct in my response," she says.
No matter what Jimenez has to say, one thing is not negotiable. "Obviously the suggestion that we can't send a reporter to cover a story is one that we will certainly not follow under any circumstance," Miley vows.
Below is the script of the May 13 news segment that prompted U.S. Attorney Marcos Jimenez to blackball NBC-6 reporter Ike Seamans. It begins with a Jimenez sound bite.
Jimenez: We´ve heard some noise recently about our office statistics.
Seamans: Last week U.S. Attorney Marcos Jimenez confused reporters expecting news of a drug bust. He began by defending his office´s caseload.
Unidentified female reporter: You lost me. What cases are you talking about?
Jimenez: Oh, it was an inside joke.
Seamans: Maybe not so funny. Critics charge his office has gone downhill since he took over. In court, federal Judge Michael Moore accused Jimenez of being ¨weak-kneed¨ and lacking ¨prosecutorial zeal,¨ resulting in a sharp decline in criminal prosecutions.
(To Jimenez): Are you saying he´s wrong?
Jimenez: A hundred percent wrong.
Seamans: Jimenez gave me a laundry list of his successes.
Jimenez: Our office is outstanding. It is one of the most productive offices, if not the most productive office in the nation.
Seamans: However, Justice Department figures show nearly a 50 percent decrease in suspects charged under antiterrorist laws and a 61 percent drop in public-corruption prosecutions, unlike other districts.
Jimenez: They haven´t dropped. That´s again false.
Seamans:: But then he said --
Jimenez: You can´t look at those drops in those areas. What really counts is quality, not quantity. What really counts is success, your conviction rate.
Seamans (to Jimenez): So there could be a drop, but the quality is better?
Jimenez: The quality is better.
Carlos Alvarez: I just found him to be very reticent to follow through on cases.
Seamans: Former Miami-Dade Police Director Carlos Alvarez, who had a nasty and public split with Jimenez last fall, says previous U.S. Attorneys were better.
Alvarez: He´s not in the same ballpark. There´s a huge difference in regards to how proactive and aggressive he pursues cases.
Jimenez: He [Alvarez] did a reprehensible thing. He pulled detectives off an important public-corruption case and he was running for mayor at the same time. I don´t think you should rely on people running for public office.
Alvarez: It was either his way or the highway, and it doesn´t work like that. You need the cooperation of everybody.
Seamans: Jimenez also angered some federal agencies, warning he might not prosecute cases if they arranged photo opportunities even though it´s been done for years.
Jimenez: I don´t care what other U.S. Attorneys have done. If they didn´t follow Department of Justice policy, it´s irrelevant to me.
Seamans (to Jimenez): You say your critics are totally wrong?
Jimenez: Correct.
Seamans: Totally wrong?
Jimenez: Totally. Some people like to focus on negativity and things that are not true.

Clients stepping into Urban Yoga Spa— with its rows of candle votives and futuristic white decor—may feel as if they've entered a meditation chamber in the twenty-third century. Designed by award-winning architects, the minimalist decor aims for a specific effect; the intentional absence of color evokes the look of a blank canvas or Ted Turner's worst nightmare, helping clients to clear their minds during intense yoga sessions led by skilled instructors. Hot Hatha and power Vinyasa classes held seven days a week help inspire practitioners to find the serenity in a challenging series of poses. Meanwhile, the spa's aestheticians pamper newly toned bodies with massages, nail treatments, acupuncture, and waxings.
Courtney and Corey Nappa complement each other's skill sets well. Courtney has a wealth of business experience and a passion for beauty, and Corey has years under his belt as a personal trainer and fitness-center manager. They realized that they could combine their skills into an ideal health-club experience, and Ten X Club was born.
On the fitness end of the business, instructors hold group Pilates, yoga, and spin classes. Cardio and weight-lifting rooms feature equipment from manufacturers such as Nautilus and Precor. A kids' playroom keeps tykes entertained while parents shed sweat. On the other end of the spectrum, the sleekly appointed salon features hair services, mani-pedis, and spray-tanning services in a quiet environment, the air perfumed with the scent of hair products. Here, too, members can send their kids to the playroom while they enjoy grownup relaxation time with beautifying services, adult conversation, and the freedom to eat animal crackers any way they choose.
It's been more than three decades since Dr. Steven E. Ross walked out of Boston University Medical School with an M.D. and a noble mission: to keep Sharon's residents healthy and happy. Since then, his resolve has only grown, as well as widened to accommodate new advancements in medical technology. He's also won numerous accolades for his efforts along the way, including the title of Fellow of the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery.
Dr. Ross remains onsite and administers many of the center's services, from Botox to laser hair removal to laser skin-tightening treatments. To help clients select from the many available options, Dr. Ross and his team offer complimentary skin analyses and walk clients through the treatments step by step, rather than just emailing them the relevant Wikipedia link.
The licensed aestheticians at Alluna Skin Care customize revitalizing facial and body treatments to the needs of each client, tackling blemishes, fine lines, and stress with quality products from brands such as Pevonia and Jane Iredale. The team personalizes services such as the Signature Facial, microdermabrasions, and enzyme peels to rejuvenate appearances and leave skin as smooth and irresistible as a laminated ice-cream cone. Professional makeup applications and waxing gussy up bodies before special occasions or nights on the town, and therapeutic massages cultivate relaxed musculature under freshly refurbished skin.
The massage therapists at Artful Healing Massage & Spa take their clients' comfort seriously?especially their clients' emotional comfort. For the therapists, communication and conversation are key, and each session starts with an informal chat to determine the ideal treatment and draping?or the level of undress folks are o.k. with. From there, therapists work from a pallet of treatments, including Swedish, deep-tissue, Thai, foot, and hot-stone massages. Steam and shower services help soothe sore muscles all while easing joint pain and helping to purge toxins. Whatever the service, guests can expect to walk out with a gorgeous glow.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Joseph Russo completed a plastic surgery residency at Harvard Medical School. So, when he personally selects nurses and aestheticians for his team at Dream Spa Medical, each staff member must meet his expert standards to perform advanced cosmetic treatments ranging from injections to surgery to noninvasive vein removal. With SkinCeuticals and Image products, aestheticians revitalize clients' skin during facials, peels, microdermabrasions, and other services. Laser hair treatments rid clients' bodies of unwanted fuzz, and tattoo removal helps keep the grocery lists on their arms up to date.

Why "FourSquare Day" Succeeds in Portsmouth
New England athletes know today as Marathon Monday – history buffs call it Patriots' Day. And tech watchers know April 16th as Foursquare Day, named after the social media app.
On Foursquare Day, businesses and communities offer special discounts and free stuff to users who drop by and "check in" to Foursquare using their smartphones.
The place to be in New Hampshire for FourSquare Day is Portsmouth – in 2010 it was ranked the top Foursquare Day location in the world.
Brian DeKoning is director of social strategy for Raka Creative and a co-organizer of Portsmouth FourSquare Day. He explains to All Things Considered host Brady Carlson why the event seems to do unusually well for a city of Portsmouth's size.
