Ascorbic acid
Ascorbic acid is an alternative term for Vitamin C. The use of the two terms in the beverage business is determined by the technological use it is put to.
The antioxidative effect of ascorbic acid is utilized to conserve the substances contained in our beverages, for instance to stabilize flavors and thus to maintain the quality of the soft drink. In a case like this the term antioxitative ascorbic acid is used.

Comcast, Time Warner Cable Merger Is a Setback for Apple
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Now that Comcast (CMCSA) is buying Time Warner Cable (TWC), Apple (AAPL) will likely have to go back to the drawing board in negotiating with cable providers for Apple TV content agreements.
A Bloomberg report suggested yesterday that Apple is getting ready to launch a new version of the device, which connects to any HD television set, and was in talks with Time Warner Cable to negotiate video content. If Apple secured the deal, it would be the first such deal with a pay-television provider, Bloomberg says.
Later, The Wall Street Journal said that Apple appears to be scaling back plans for Apple TV. According to the Journal, Apple is looking to launch a "revamped" set top box, but instead of licensing programming for its own Internet-based TV service, Apple would work with cable providers to provide programming and potentially reach a deal with operators to distribute boxes and lease them to customers. The Journal says Apple was in discussions with several distributors.
But the merger will likely throw all that out the window and question future content partnering.
Apple's latest version is reportedly going to have a faster processor and improved interface to make it easier for customers to navigate between TV shows, movies and online content, the Bloomberg article says.Still, "Comcast sets the set-top box bar," UBS analyst Steven Milunovich wrote in a note to clients yesterday following the Bloomberg article. "TWC's involvement with Apple makes sense to us since TWC appears behind in capabilities to develop a cloud-integrated user interface," Milunovich wrote, prior to the merger announcement. "Other press reports indicate that Comcast possibly is supporting Charter Communications' bid for TWC, suggesting a motivation to strike a licensing deal for Comcast's robust X1 interface platform. Recently Comcast noted it has signed an MOU with Cox Communications for a licensing agreement. Should Charter's bid for TWC be successful, Apple may lose out." "Today's X1 features include voice-based navigation and search, personalized recommendations, a collection of customizable widgets, and access to third-party apps such as Facebook, Twitter, and Pandora," he pointed out. "Internally referred to as X2, Comcast is in the midst of migrating its X1 users to a next-gen cloud-based device. This upgrade provides cloud-based DVR, mobile device synchronization, and app airplay capabilities." Apple has been steadily making content deals for Apple TV. In June, it announced partnerships with HBO GO, WatchESPN, Sky News, Crunchyroll and Qello that offers live news, sports and current TV programming, the company said at the time. In November, Apple added more partnerships including ones with Yahoo! (YHOO) and PBS. Apple also offers content from Hulu Plus, Netflix (NFLX), live sports from MLB, NBA and NHL as well as Internet content from Vimeo, YouTube and Flickr, it says.
Earlier this week, Apple launched a channel on Apple TV dedicated solely to The Beatles coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the iconic rock band's first U.S. television appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. For a limited time, users can view the performance in its entirety via Apple TV's channel as well as stream Beatles music. --Written by Laurie Kulikowski in New York. Follow @LKulikowski

PLYMOUTH – The Ancilla College men's basketball team snapped a three game losing streak on Saturday with a 94-84 victory over Indiana University-Kokomo at the LifePlex.
The Chargers (6-3) were led by Alexander Hutson's 21 points and 10 assists, including his buzzer-beating half court shot to close out the first half.
With the victory, Ancilla clinched its first non-conference winning season since 2004.
Four other players reached double figures in scoring, including Ben Gilbert (16), Joby Renbarger (13), Jordan Coe (10), and Jazz Drane (10).
Renbarger also collected 11 rebounds to record the double-double.
"Our unselfishness was the main reason for our offensive success," said Ancilla head coach Greg Neeley. "We shared the ball and made smart decisions."
Ancilla shot nearly 60 percent from the floor, including 6-of-11 from behind the arc. Indiana University-Kokomo was held to just 33 percent in the second half on 15-of-45 shooting.
The Chargers resume play on Wednesday when they travel to Oglesby, IL, to play Illinois Valley Community College. Tipoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. EDT.

Abraham Bennett, minister of United Brethren Church, Westfield; was born in Meade Co. Ky., Nov. 15, 1828; after remaining at home until the age of 18, he started out in life for himself, flat-boating on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers for some five or six years; in the year 1852, he commenced traveling in the ministry of the United Brethren Church, having from his youth been connected with that Church; in the same year, leaving his family in Kentucky, he traveled circuit for some six years in Indiana, when, having returned to Kentucky, was engaged in missionary work through that State for three successive years; having sold his farm, he moved his family to Harrison Co., Ind., in what is widely known as the " Rippidan Valley," and continued traveling circuit up to the fall of 1864, when he moved to Hutton Tp., Coles Co., and settled upon his present farm when it was a dense wood; at first, before the establishment of a circuit in Hutton. Tp., Mr. Bennett engaged in missionary work until it became a circuit, when he filled the position of a local minister, and was greatly instrumental in building the " West Liberty Chapel " of the U. B. Church, and also " Weaver Chapel " on the edge of " Park Prairie." He married Miss Martha Jane Chism (daughter of John Chism, of Meade Co., Ky.), on July -1, 1850; she was born Jan. 5, 1831; they had eight children, four boys, three living – John J., James Hand, David S.; one died-George W.; and four girls, two dying-Laura A. and Martha J., and two died-Mary E. and Purva C.

What about emotional repercussions?
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 01-13-2008 - 2:29pm
I haven't really read many of the threads on this board because they're so long so this topic may have already been discussed in length but...
What about the psychological effects that abortion has on the mother? I've known both rape victims and people who have just terminated their pregnancy for other reasons...and have experienced the deep regret and sorrow that these women experience as a result of abortion. Another eyeopener was reading testimonies of women on an HG (hypermesis: extreme m/s) board who had abortions to relieve their symptoms. Many of these mothers were devestated by the loss of their child. Granted this is a group of women who have wanted pregnancies but in a way this kind of applies to women who terminate wanted pregnancies because of mostly the POSSIBILITY of a birth defect (testing is definitely not a 100% sure thing). I just always find it funny that PLers are often accused of not thinking about the woman...when really I think abortion has the potential to be worse than death for the mother.
|Sun, 01-13-2008 - 2:41pm
We actually have discussed this issue many times.
Yes, some women do experience depression after an abortion. It is considered a form of PTSD. I should also point out that quite a few women experience PPD--post partum depression--which can be just as devastating. I gather the percentages may be quite similar. If one is prone to depression, hormonal imbalances or traumatic events can trigger it. Perhaps better screening is in order to help those women before they experience pregnancy rather than afterwards.

As someone who had an abortion; yes, I feel guilt and regret but I would not seek to prohibit other women from choice. For me, abortion was not worse than death. I think that I do understand the stance of PL's - I don't like the thought of abortion, I think of an unborn child as a life, but I definitely feel the life of the mother trumps that of the unborn. We simply cannot control another woman's body.

I could tell you about the psychological effects of going through an unexpected pregnancy where I was single, the father was an active alcoholic and I had a manager that was trying to fire me.
|Sun, 01-13-2008 - 8:35pm
"I don't like the thought of abortion, I think of an unborn child as a life, but I definitely feel the life of the mother trumps that of the unborn."
I find that a very interesting statement. I don't understand that statement at all because you are accepting that a "fetus" is a person- yet you're saying that one person's life (that of the mother) is more important than another (the baby). Often in the responses I've gotten so far I see statements regarding how it's not fair to force someone to go through with an unwanted pregnancy- that it's their body. Well if the baby is a person then it's no longer the woman's body. He/she is a seperate body and one whose life is not any less precious than that of
|Sun, 01-13-2008 - 8:47pm
Pregnancy is not a fun thing- I'm finding that out first hand as I've had two trips to the ER already for dehydration from m/s. However, most pregnant women did have a choice. The initial choice to have sex- this may come as a surprise but the main purpose of sex as far as biology is concerned is reproduction ;) therefore if you willingly had sex even if you used contraception of some type (abstinence is the only 100% form of contraception that I know of to date...) you still put yourself at risk to become pregnant. Pregnancy does not just "happen" (excluding cases of rape and incest at this time because that's a whole
|Sun, 01-13-2008 - 8:49pm
To me, it is pretty simple:
Neither I, nor the government, have the right to legislate another woman's body. I believe abortion should remain legal, no matter my personal feeling about it.
|Sun, 01-13-2008 - 10:11pm
Are there many woman, despite the rough times and difficulties, regret the choice to birth their now born child, that if they could go back they would terminate them?
Rich or poor, healthy or ill, single or married, I don't think that there would be a situation that would cause me to say, "Hey, if I could go back I'd be better off and happier if I sacrificed my child's life".
|Sun, 01-13-2008 - 10:39pm
"Well if the baby is a person then it's no longer the woman's body."
Except that it depends on her, and only her, for survival. After it is born, it can survive without its mother. But until then it cannot.
The reason why we cannot separate the two in terms of rights is because you must subjugate the mother to the rights of the child if you do. If you decide that the embryo/zygote/fetus has the legal right to life, then it has the right to life no matter what happens to the mother. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MOTHER. So, should women who suffer from ectopic pregnancies be allowed to die because the life inside them is just as important as they are in a legal sense? There are people in this debate who would argue that yes, that is the case.
You see, John Locke's concept of personal, inalienable rights doesn't work here. His assumptions were based on the fact that keeping you alive does not hurt my right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of property (happiness added by Thomas Jefferson). If keeping my fetus inside me is going to kill me, and the fetus has the same legal right to life as I, then how do you decide who gets to die? And why on earth should YOU be allowed to make that decision for me? Don't you think my doctor is more qualified?

>>Rich or poor, healthy or ill, single or married, I don't think that there would be a situation that would cause me to say, "Hey, if I could go back I'd be better off and happier if I sacrificed my child's life". I guess I just don't get it. You mention your 'tough' road - and I'm glad that you don't regret it, but can we say that someone is mentally stable or capable of feeling or emotion if they can honestly birth a child, hold that child, look into that child's eyes and wish they had aborted them?<<
When I was PG with my second DS I had a lot of problems. It was assumed for most of the pregnancy that I was miscarrying. I was offered a D&C to speed along the process. i refused it and ended up delivering at 24 weeks. He survived 71 days and suffered a Grade 4 IVH that destroyed 1/2 his brain. He eventually died of NEC. I have acknowledged it would have been easier for him had I miscarried or had the D&C. not because I don't love him with all my heart but because I do.

If you want something new, you have to stop doing something old. Looking for something modern and creative? Try our new releases!
It's about our problem solving history. Not always glorious, sometimes embarrassing, but we'll keep on trying!
PixFolder now supports directly uploading multiple image files or a PowerPoint file to Windows 8.1 PC or tablet by scanning a QR code shown on Twofoo Search.
When a new software platform is announced and looks interesting, we first carryout test projects for exploring features and shortcomings of the new platform. We, of course, have such projects for Windows 8.1 and one of those projects became quite useful and we realized its true potentials. It's called Twofoo and we decided to continue its development as a standalone product and provide support.
The concept of Twofoo is simple; opening two websites side by side with one search. But it's not just about opening two websites; Twofoo is about getting information from trusted sources with different point of views.
When you do your search in Google, you're seeing the world in Google's point of view. The search results it shows are based on its algorithms and philosophy. It's telling you that the websites on the first page of its search results are "better" than the rest. It's not wrong; it just shows how Google interprets the world.
Aren't you curious how the world would look in others' point of view? Try adding Bing, Yahoo or any one of those "other" search engines next to Google and do your search in Twofoo!
You can in fact pair any two websites and pin it to Start screen in Twofoo. For those special website combos, you can seamlessly access Twofoo directory server within web browsers in Twofoo. We'll be managing Twofoo directory server to include high quality websites worth visiting instead of every websites on the Internet. As Twofoo supports Windows Share charm, you can also easily add your own websites and manage them locally while using other apps such as Internet Explorer.
You can install and use Twofoo for free from Windows Store:
All in all, we are happy to officially announce our new Twofoo and we hope it becomes your favorite app for Windows 8.1.
Thank you.
Best regards,

We offer Token2Shell/SP to customers who want a rock solid terminal emulator with clean and straightforward user interface. In order to maximize its usability and optimize user interface interaction, it needs to go through a customization process. During this process, we listen to the requirements of the customer and make changes to Token2Shell/SP. Once the customization process is completed, we release a tailored version of Token2Shell/SP that is only available to the customer.
However, this customization process takes time and in some cases, our demo version is more than capable of handling the needs of the customers as it is.
Thus we now offer standalone versions of Token2Shell/SP! If you like the standalone version, you can simply purchase it without waiting for any customization. Otherwise, we can make further changes and build a special version of Token2Shell/SP tailored just for your company!
If you wish to test drive the standalone versions, just drop us a line at email@example.com. When contacting us, please tell us the OS version and the model name of your device. So we can provide an appropriate version of Token2Shell/SP for your testing.
This new version fixes the site license detection problem in Token2Shell.SSHpf.
Token2Shell requires an Internet connection to have its license activated. Our method is simple and straightforward, yet good enough to minimize the piracy of our software.
However, we understand that in some situations, our current license activation via the Internet method is unfeasible. In order to support our users in such environment, we now offer a "Site License" option for Token2Shell.
This new "Site License" does not require an Internet connection and allows unlimited number of license activations per site. If you're interested in purchasing a "Site License", please contact email@example.com.
Please drop us a line. We'd love to hear from you!

Broun Offers $108 Million in Spending Cuts to CJS Appropriations Bill
U.S. Representative Paul Broun, M.D. (GA-10) today released the following statement after offering more than $108 million in targeted spending cuts to the fiscal year 2015 Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations bill.
"In our current economic state, we must scrutinize every spending bill that comes to the House floor and look for areas to cut spending and rein in our unsustainable debt," said Congressman Paul Broun. "I am pleased to have received bipartisan support for some of these amendments, and I look forward to continuing to work towards ensuring a sound financial future for our children and grandchildren. With more than $17 trillion in national debt, we simply cannot afford to delay action any longer."
Rep. Broun's amendments included:
· A $5 million cut to end a loan guarantee program authorized under the America COMPETES Act of 2010, which has received continuous funding despite not having funded a single loan, which passed by a voice vote;
· A $596,000 reduction for the Department of Commerce Office of the Inspector General, which failed by a voice vote;
· A $1 million reduction for the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), which failed by a voice vote;
· A reduction of nearly $67 million to an increase provided for the National Science Foundation, which failed by a voice vote;
· A bipartisan amendment co-sponsored by Rep. Broun and led by Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO), which would eliminate a $35 million increase over the amount provided to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) last year, which failed by a 66-339 vote; and
· A bipartisan amendment cosponsored by Rep. Broun and led by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) to promote states' rights by protecting law-abiding medical marijuana patients, which passed by a 219-189 vote.

Osteoarthritis health centre
Injections into the hip joint
This information is for people who have osteoarthritis. It tells you about injections into the hip joint, a treatment used for osteoarthritis. It is based on the best and most up-to-date research.
Do they work?
We don't know. Not much good research has been done on injecting drugs into the hip joint to reduce pain and stiffness. Studies do show injections can help with osteoarthritis of the knee.
What are they?
These treatments involve injecting a drug into your hip joint. Before doing this, your doctor may draw some fluid out of the joint. This is known as aspiration of the joint. Your joints normally have fluid in them to help the bones slide smoothly over each other. If you have osteoarthritis, you may get too much fluid, which can make your joint feel tight and uncomfortable. So, removing some of the fluid may be helpful.
The two most common drugs injected into the joint are:
Corticosteroids (usually referred to as steroids). Examples include
dexamethasoneand triamcinolone. These steroids are similar to chemicals your body makes naturally. They're not the anabolic steroids used by some bodybuilders
Drugs based on
hyaluronic acid, a chemical that occurs naturally within the joint. Brand names for hyaluronic acid include Hyalganand Synvisc.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), the government body that decides which treatments should be available on the NHS, doesn't recommend using hyaluronic acid as a treatment for osteoarthritis. [14]
How can they help?
There's not much research about injecting steroids into the hip joint. But one study shows it may reduce pain by about a half, and the results may last up to three months. [104] Another study found that most people who had a steroid injection had improved pain and movement after one week, and the improvements lasted over eight weeks. [105]
Two small studies suggested hyaluronic acid doesn't work any better than a dummy treatment ( placebo). [105] [106]
How do they work?
Steroids reduce inflammation (redness and swelling) by stopping the body producing certain chemicals. These chemicals are produced in response to the damage that's being done to your joint by osteoarthritis, but they actually make things worse. By putting steroids directly into the joint, it is hoped that the swelling of osteoarthritis will be reduced.
Hyaluronic acid is one of the main ingredients of the fluid found in joints (synovial fluid), and it is thought to help in shock absorption and in lubricating the joint. Hyaluronic acid is found to decrease in older people and in people with osteoarthritis. The aim of this treatment is to replace the missing hyaluronic acid in the synovial fluid.
Can they be harmful?
There's no evidence that these treatments cause any serious harm. There's a risk that injecting into a joint could lead to an infection, but this seems unlikely.

Drug Court Gone Wrong
This past weekend National Public Radio's This American Life ran a disturbing report on a Drug Court in Georgia that seems more akin to Soviet justice than to therapeutic justice. To listen to the report, Very Tough Love, click Here.
The program reports serious and systemic problems with one drug court in Georgia including disproportionate sentences both for defendants who opt to not do drug court and for those who do it and fail. The court seems set up in a way to guarantee that participants will fail. The court reportedly responds to standard (and expected) violations by the participants exclusively with ever increasing periods in custody. The report tells about one drug court participant with no prior criminal record whose initial offense was passing two bad checks for a total of $100. This defendant ended up in drug court for five years during which time she served 14 months in custody and then she served five additional years in custody. As NPR reported, the average drug court program in the USA lasts 15 months, not five years. In addition to the time served there seems to be serious violations of basic rights like denial of access to medical care. Judge Amanda Williams reportedly runs the court with little regard for the rights of those who come to the court. She also reportedly suffers from a complete misunderstanding about the basic goals and approaches of therapeutic justice.
I hope that this report will lead to an investigation of this drug court and action to ensure the rights are protected of those defendants who are currently under its jurisdiction. I also hope that the Georgia Bar acts quickly to open an investigation of Judge Williams for what seem to be serious allegations of judicial misconduct.
Unfortunately, this extreme example of misuse of alternative processes runs contrary to the goals of therapeutic justice and could work to undermine the development of legitimate drug courts. The fear is that these examples will become more common as drug courts themselves become more common and as judges with no training or understanding about therapeutic justice, increasingly preside over these courts.

I agree. I listened to the NPR program. Afterwards, I GOOGLED Amanda Williams. I am perplexed as to how she has not been prosecuted for what are numerous, egrecious violations of the law. What does it take in the state of Georgia for its BAR joined by the authorities to take action against Judge Williams.
The accounts of the teenager who spent more than five years in prison for $100.00 of forged checks caused me to ask if the the story was a place in Georgia or a place in a Third World country.
Good judges, and there are many, have a great moral compass along with respect for the law. Judge Williams has neither.
Therapeutic Jurisprudence is the therothetical basis for drug courts and TJ's founders support them. The Georgia tragedy had to do with one bad judge and the defense counsel not doing their job. Dru courts that follow the Ten Key Components have due process, great results and save lives. I've studied and worked in drug courts over 20 years. See: http://www.allrise.org

Palm Coast to host Christmas tree, electronics recycling
Date: January 2, 2013
by: The Observer Staff
(Click "Like" to become a fan of the Palm Coast Observer.)
For many local residents, the start of the New Year also signals a final holiday tradition: getting rid of the Christmas tree. Recycle your Christmas tree and receive a free three-gallon evergreen tree in exchange at the city of Palm Coast's sixth-annual Christmas Tree Recycling event 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 5, at the Palm Coast Fuel Depot, 22 Utility Drive.
DVD and CD players, computer monitors, keyboards, old wires, Christmas tree lights, Styrofoam and gift wrap will also be accepted for recycling by Girl Scout troops 966, 987 and 1307. No TVs will be accepted.
All trees donated for recycling will be ground and used as mulch to beautify the parks and trails across Palm Coast.
"It helps the environment and saves the city and residents money by us not having to purchase as much mulch for projects," said Palm Coast Urban Forester Carol Bennett. "There are residents who come out year after year for their free tree to plant in their yard."
City staff requests that residents remove all decorations, lights, tinsel and ornaments from trees prior to donation.
For more information, contact Bennett at 986-3722.

Longing for good biking year round? It's here
Specialized equipment takes sport through winter months
Biking in the summer is fun and easy. Fall and spring, sure. But for some people, that's not enough - they want four full seasons.
Paul Makela is one of those people. He works in sales at Wheel & Sprocket's North Shore store, 6940 N. Santa Monica Blvd., so you might expect him to be enthusiastic about riding. But that may be an understatement. For him, it's a lifestyle.
Makela lives in Grafton, and it's a 32-mile roundtrip ride for him to the store in Fox Point.
"I rode in today from Grafton, which I do pretty often, 12 months out of the year," he said. "I'll put in a 100 miles a week during the winter and 200 a week during the summer."
Makela takes the Ozaukee Interurban Trail from Grafton all the way down to Brown Deer Park. "They plow it, so, you know, 80 percent of my ride is plowed, and I don't even have to deal with cars," he said. He has a road bike with enough clearance in the fork for wider, hybrid tires with metal studs, front and back. He wears a hooded top, like a balaclava, that covers his whole head and face, under a regular bike helmet.
Or, he said, "If it's in the 20s or less then I'll use a ski helmet and ski goggles, and it's a lot warmer that way."
He also has winter biking shoes, which might run $200 or more.
"We'll sell a handful of winter shoes per year" at the store, he said, but there are cheaper options, such as booties that resist water that are worn over regular biking shoes.
Heat packs or foot warmers are other options that are sold at most sporting goods stores and even some department stores.
Finally, good wool socks are important, Makela said. Bike stores sell thin wool socks made especially for biking that fit under most shoes.
The biking judge
Chris Foley may be an example. A Circuit Court judge, he lives in Wauwatosa and bikes seven miles to his downtown courtroom.
"I rode every day last year except for about four or five days. I don't have studded tires and all that stuff, so when it snows, if the streets stay snow-covered, I don't ride," he said.
He tries to stay on streets that have bike lanes, and makes short use of sidewalks in tight traffic. Like Makela, he wears a helmet, along with insulated gym pants, and he "layers up" on top, with a windbreaker covering everything.
"I'm much more concerned, not with warmth, I'm more concerned with darkness when I ride in the winter," he said. He uses lights front and back.
He washes off and changes in his chambers, he said, and, since he wears a robe most of the day, he's not required to dress up.
Foley, 59, started biking to work five or six years ago, partly because "I've gotten to an age where my basketball game just isn't there any more," and he wanted another method of exercise.
Environmental concerns also are part of Foley's motivation. It also frees him from the problem of parking a car downtown, and even some traffic problems are erased.
"I literally am gleeful at night when I'm taking off on my bike and I'm riding along and cars are backed up for three blocks at stop signs," he said.
Most of all, though, for him, biking home from work is a cleanser.
"I find it's really a great release for me, I just feel so much better when I ride, and it just gets everything from the day out. … I think that's the primary motivation," he said.
Other options
The latest thing in winter biking are fat-tire bikes, which are like mountain bikes with tires four inches across.
"They kind of float over the snow a little bit better" than bikes with normal tires, said Jesse Kuester, manager of the North Shore Wheel & Sprocket.
The bikes are a little slower than regular bikes, but allow a rider to get out there in conditions that would stop most bikes, including sand, Kuester said.
The bikes are expensive - $1,700 or more, he said - but they are selling to dedicated riders as a second or third bike.
But a fat-tire bike is still riding outside, and outside riding in the winter isn't for everybody.
Getting your fix, indoors
Fortunately there are ways to ride inside.
Crank Daddy's, at 2170 N. Prospect Ave., is one of a number of stores that offer winter training inside. Its Computrainer system uses a video screen showing a route that the rider is traversing that requires full use of gearing - everything about an outside ride but the wind and the weather. Other bike sellers offer similar training programs, either with a video or with a coach, including Wheel & Sprocket stores and Emery's Bicycle & Super Fitness stores, at 9929 W. Lisbon Ave. in Milwaukee and N88 W15306 Main St. in Menomonee Falls.
Emery's offers coached sessions, said Ben Emery, who manages the Menomonee Falls store.

Align Technology Expands Clear Aligner Research Award Program To Include International Funding
SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Align Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:ALGN) today announced that it has expanded its funding of the Clear Aligner Research Award Program to include international research in order to further the development of clear aligners for the treatment of malocclusion, or misalignment of teeth worldwide. Launched initially in 2009 for North America, the Clear Aligner Research Award Program is an annually funded program designed to promote both clinical and scientific research in clear aligner therapy. For 2011, $50,000 is now being made available for scientific research funding to international applicants in addition to $100,000 currently available to North American applicants.
"We are excited to extend the research program in support of greater academic understanding and advancement of clear aligner therapy around the world," said Align's Vice President of Clinical Technology, Eric Kuo, DDS, MS.
International eligibility includes without limitation full-time or part-time international university faculty involved in orthodontic scientific research, as well as non-orthodontic international university faculty whose scientific work may contribute towards the improvement of clear aligner therapy. Up to five grants of $10,000 each will be made available to qualified international orthodontic faculty."Increased international adoption of clear aligner orthodontic treatment has driven interest in improving our understanding of the scientific processes behind the therapy," said Align's Director of Clinical International, Mitra Derakhshan, DDS, MS. "Through this program, further insights into complex treatments, individual tooth movements and outcomes for treatment using clear aligners can be gained. Applications for International funding can be downloaded from www.aligntechinstitute.com/internationalresearch . Completed applications must be e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com by 5PM PST March 1, 2011. All applications will be reviewed by an academic committee and their recommendations will be forwarded to Align Technology. Final selections will be made by Align Technology. All applicants will be notified by April 29, 2011. Incomplete applications will not be considered. For more information on the Clear Aligner Research Award Program and application process for International, please visit www.aligntechinstitute.com/internationalresearch or email firstname.lastname@example.com. For information on the Clear Aligner Research Award Program and application process for North America, please visit www.aligntechinstitute.com/ResearchAwards or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Completed applications for North American funding in 2011 must be e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com by 5PM PST March 1, 2011. About Align Technology, Inc. Align Technology designs, manufactures and markets Invisalign(R), a proprietary method for treating malocclusion, or the misalignment of teeth. Invisalign corrects malocclusion using a series of clear, nearly invisible, removable appliances that gently move teeth to a desired final position. Because it does not rely on the use of metal or ceramic brackets and wires, Invisalign significantly reduces the aesthetic and other limitations associated with braces. Invisalign is appropriate for treating adults and teens. Align Technology was founded in March 1997 and received FDA clearance to market Invisalign in 1998. Today, Invisalign is a globally-recognized brand, with treatment available through specially-trained doctors in more than 50 countries. The Invisalign product family now includes Invisalign Full, Invisalign Teen, Invisalign Assist, Invisalign Lite, Invisalign Express, Invisalign Anterior, and Vivera Retainers.

Acme Packet's Numbers Back Up Rally
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shares of Acme Packet (APKT) rose in brisk after-hours trading on Tuesday after the Bedford, Mass.-based maker of network management products posted a 70% year-over-year revenue jump in its latest quarter.
The company, whose session border controllers sit between Internet protocol networks and manage data flow, topped Wall Street's expectations for its December period on both the top and bottom lines and lifted its fiscal 2011 outlook as well.
The stock was last quoted at $58.49, up 4.6%, on volume of more than 400,000, according to Nasdaq.com. Based on a regular session close at $55.92, the volatile shares have risen more than 400% in the past year, hitting a 52-week high of $62.96 on Jan. 6.
For the three months ended Dec. 31, Acme Packet reported earnings of $14.5 million, or 21 cents a share, up from a year-ago equivalent profit of $9.1 million, or 14 cents a share. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock-based compensation expenses and other one-time items, the company said it earned $17.9 million, or 26 cents a share, for its fiscal fourth quarter, 15% above the average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters for a profit of 23 cents.Revenue came in at $70.2 million for the quarter, representing sequential improvement of 24% and easily beating the analysts' view of $60.9 million. Acme Packet has now beaten Wall Street's profit view in nine straight quarters. The company also said it now sees non-GAAP earnings of $1.05 a share on revenue of roughly $300 million for fiscal 2011. In late October, it was projecting earnings of 99 cents to $1 per share for fiscal 2011 with revenue ranging from $286 million to $287 million. The current Thomson Reuters consensus view is for earnings of $1.04 a share on revenue of $296.3 million for the year ending next December. If Acme Packet is able to deliver on its $300 million outlook for fiscal 2011 it will have more than doubled revenue from 2009's total of $141.5 million. The company was facing a high bar ahead of its report with its trailing price-to-earnings ratio at roughly 97X following the incredible run-up in the past year and its forward PE

Time and Cost Limits on Superfund Removals
RCED-96-195R: Published: Jun 10, 1996. Publicly Released: Jun 26, 1996.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on whether: (1) changes to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act's time and cost limits would ease constraints on non-time-critical removals; and (2) the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) believes that limits on non-time-critical removal actions are necessary or appropriate. GAO noted that: (1) most non-time-critical removals are conducted within 3 years and cost $5 million or less; (2) EPA believes that raising the time and dollar limits on non-time-critical removals would improve the cleanup process by reducing the number of limit waivers needed for non-time-critical removals; (3) EPA headquarters and regional managers do not agree on whether the time limits should be raised to 2 or 3 years and cost limits raised to $4 million or $5 million; and (4) EPA headquarters staff believe that the limits ensure that excessive time and money are not expended on non-time-critical removals, while regional managers believe that the limits are arbitrary or bureaucratic requirements that have little justification.

None the less, the event is set for 4-7 p.m. in the Best Western courtyard at 2920 10th St. in Great Bend, and is expected to draw a lot of interest from job seekers and employers alike, said Delbert Randolph, local workforce service supervisor for KansasWorks.

Bemis' CEO Discusses Q1 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
So as we look forward to the rest of the year, we expect raw material cost increases to subside and level out for a while and we expect customer demand to increase as we move into the second half of 2012.
We have made progress in modifying the price agreements with some customers and we'll continue this initiative as contracts come up for renewal. These changes will shorten the time that takes to adjust selling prices when raw materials cost change, reducing the impact of raw material cost changes on our operating performance and cash flows.
We continued to implement specific pricing actions to address poor profitability on some products and we are willing to walk away from business if necessary. We have made progress with our facility consolidation program and expect to complete the closure of 2 of our North American facilities during the second quarter. Our teams are doing a great job of transferring production to new facilities while keeping an eye on costs.
At the same time, we are expanding our footprint in China to meet the growing demand from that region. This capital investment will be ramping up commercial production during the second half of this year. In Latin America, we are expanding our capabilities in Brazil to deliver our high barrier technology to our Latin American customers. This market continues to be challenged with slowing economic growth and a relatively strong currency. We have a lot of opportunities for expansion in that region of the world and our business teams are focused on leveraging our global scale to create a competitive advantage and drive growth. We have been closely managing cost in our European operations as we continued to experience sluggish unit sales volumes in the face of a weak European economy. We expect this economic environment to continue through the rest of the year.

The Kosher Sutra: Eight Sacred Secrets for Reigniting Desire and Restoring Passion for Life (Hardcover)
Not currently shipping from publisher – Subject to future availability
America has a contradictory relationship with sex. Sex is everywhere—advertisements, the Internet, magazines, and television—yet one third of all marriages in America are utterly sexless. Our over-exposure to sex has diluted the most powerful form of intimacy to such an extent that most couples have forgotten what passion feels like. In The Kosher Sutra, Shmuley Boteach, the New York Times bestselling author, delivers a much-needed guide to reigniting desire in our relationships while at the same time creating renewed energy in every aspect of our lives.
Boteach's Eight Secrets are the key to reawakening our dormant desires and releasing ourselves from the complacency that has taken hold of far too many of us. Honed from decades of counseling experience, the Secrets range from the role of innocence in physical attraction, to why we always want what we can't have, to urging couples to practice reckless abandon in the bedroom. With his trademark frank and conversational style, Boteach offers practical advice as well as sage guidance through stories of real-life struggles and triumphs of couples who he has counseled throughout his career.
Boredom has ruined too many relationships and The Kosher Sutra provides all the tools necessary to restore the fire, power, and energy back into the bedroom and everyday life.
About the Author
Shmuley Boteach is host of the daily national radio program The Rabbi Shmuley Show on Oprah & Friends and Sirius XM Satellite Radio and host of the award-winning national television show Shalom in the Home on TLC. He is also the international bestselling author of twenty books, including the New York Times bestselling Kosher Sex and Ten Conversations You Need to Have with Your Children. In 2007, Boteach was labeled "a cultural phenomenon" and "the most famous rabbi in America" by Newsweek, and was also named one of the ten most influential rabbis in America. He has been profiled in many of the world's leading publications, including Time, Newsweek, the New York Times, London Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and Washington Post. Shmuley and his wife, Debbie, have nine children.
Praise for The Kosher Sutra: Eight Sacred Secrets for Reigniting Desire and Restoring Passion for Life…
"Shmuley's astonishing grasp of the core secrets of female eroticism should be required reading for all men. He gets us better than we get ourselves. It's unnerving. I'm sending this book to everyone I know who deserves profound happiness."
-LISA BLOOM, Host, Lisa Bloom Open Court on truTV, CBS News Legal Analyst
"Rabbi Shmuley penetrates the veil shrouding American sexuality to highlight that eroticism is the thrilling desire to comprehend the mystery of life and attach ourselves to the source of all being."
-Mehmet Oz, M.D., author of YOU: The Owner's Manual
"Rich in insights, The Kosher Sutra is a worthy follow-up to Rabbi Boteach's earlier bestseller."
-Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People
"Boteach delivers a unique take on what a gratifying sex life can do to improve other areas of our lives. ...Boteach divulges each of eight erotically-charged secrets with extreme wit, while introducing real-life couples whom Boteach has successfully counseled..."
-Publishers Weekly
"Boteach manages to make traditional wisdom sound pretty wild...Kosher Sutra will appeal to just about anyone..."
-Library Journal

(Updates share price in fifth paragraph.)
June 1 (Bloomberg) -- Intact Financial Corp., Canada's largest property and casualty insurer, will buy Axa SA's Canadian business for C$2.6 billion ($2.7 billion) to bolster its premiums in the country by almost 50 percent.
The cash purchase will generate an internal rate of return of 20 percent and increase annual operating earnings per share by 15 percent in the "mid-term," Toronto-based Intact said yesterday in a statement.
The takeover, the largest by a Canadian property insurer, will increase Intact's premiums by C$2 billion, to more than C$6.5 billion, and save at least C$100 million a year through cost cuts, according to the statement. The purchase is the first by Intact, the former Canadian insurance unit of ING Groep NV, since its 2006 acquisition of Grey Power Insurance Brokers Inc.
"This is by far the biggest splash they've ever made," said Craig Fehr, an analyst at Edward Jones & Co. in St. Louis. Until yesterday, Intact had "done some small deals" and "tacked things on and built out a little bit," he said.
Intact rose C$4.85, or 9.7 percent, to C$54.62 in 4 p.m. trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the biggest gain since November 2008. Axa climbed 1.5 percent to 15.06 euros.
Intact will finance the purchase with C$500 million of excess capital, issue C$800 million of stock and access C$1.3 billion of credit facilities, the company said. The Canadian unit of Paris-based Axa sells home, auto and business coverage and is the sixth-largest insurer in the country.
The transaction "provides a very strong strategic fit and it's financially compelling," Chief Executive Officer Charles Brindamour said yesterday in a conference call with investors.
CIBC World Markets advised Intact on the sale.
Axa's Plans
Axa, Europe's second-largest insurer, will record an exceptional capital gain of about 900 million euros ($1.3 billion) on the sale, which will be accounted for in net income, the company said in a separate statement.
CEO Henri de Castries, 56, is scheduled to announce development plans today in Paris as investors look to him for signs that he can stem asset-management redemptions and use growth in Asia to counter a slowdown in other markets.
The company has gained 19 percent in 2011 as it won a 17- month battle to win direct control of its operations in Asian countries from India to Indonesia. By year-end, clients may stop withdrawing funds at New York-based asset-management unit AllianceBernstein LP, Axa said May 5. The firm said it had 13 billion euros in withdrawals in the first quarter, mostly at AllianceBernstein.
Axa, along with AMP Ltd., in April completed a A$13.3 billion ($14.2 billion) bid for Melbourne-based Axa Asia Pacific Holdings Ltd. to take control of businesses in a region where wealth is growing at the world's quickest rate.
'Important Deal'
"It's an important deal," said Danny Jacques, a Paris- based analyst at Raymond James who recommends buying the stock. "Axa has got free hands in Asia and, when Japan is excluded, it has doubled the economic weight of its activities in Asia."
Axa also seeks to expand in China. In October, de Castries traveled to Beijing to seal a life-insurance partnership with Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd. ICBC bought a 60 percent stake in Shanghai-based AXA-Minmetals Assurance Co., while the French insurer holds 27.5 percent and China Minmetals Corp. owns 12.5 percent.
Axa's venture with ICBC, to be called ICBC-AXA Life Insurance Co., will distribute products through ICBC's network of more than 16,000 branches nationwide, reaching out to 35 million clients. The deal is pending approval from Chinese regulators.

why have they got the % symbols in the instructions
Different shells have different prompts. It's like the > on windows command line.
Understanding Shell Prompts - O'Reilly Media
@ macshinobi
DMCoy is on the right lines. For a brief explanation and possibly some links:
Shell Programming!
If you want to learn Shell Scripting this is a good place to start:
Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide
I've not read it all (it's rather large) but I would not be surprised if the Tee-Cee and Korn shells are in there somewhere? Different shells have different strengths and are good at achieving certain things depending on what you want. The Bourne Again Shell (bash) which is predominantly used on OSX is a good all rounder but it's not the only shell available. For example keying in "tcsh" (minus quotes) in Terminal will put you in the Tee-Cee Shell. You know when you're in tcsh because the percent sign will follow the username. The bash shell uses the dollar sign. Keying "ksh" presents the dollar sign and nothing else. Keying "bash" gets you back again. To find out more from the command line itself simply launch Terminal and key in:
man bash (for the Bourne Again Shell)
man tcsh (for the Tee-Cee Shell)
man ksh (for the Korn Shell)
No doubt there are plenty of other shells/programming environments (the POSIX World is vast) which may or may not be available in OSX. Half the "fun" is discovering them for yourself. A fairly general rule of thumb is if there is a downloadable binary available you should be able to "make/compile" on OSX. Macports and fink are two examples. This would also be true of Linux. A good resource for UNIX on OSX is here:

Threats to Democracy (385K PDF)
Publisher Council on Foreign Relations Press
Release Date November 2002
Price $15.00 paper
89 pages
Task Force Report No. 42
Democratic governments, international organizations, and nongovernmental organizations have responded poorly and often at cross purposes when democracies are threatened by coups or erosions of the democratic process, concludes an independent Task Force led by two of the worldÆs leading pro-democracy advocates, former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright and former Foreign Minister of Poland Bronislaw Geremek. Yet support for democracy is consistent not only with the ideals of the worldÆs democracies but also with their interests and security. Democratic states are ōless likely to breed terrorists or to be state sponsors of terrorism,ö the report concludes, and more likely to be ōactive participants in the global economy.ö
The report says key international actors are paying more attention to the plight of new democracies but have yet to take necessary steps to turn their good intentions into a viable plan of action that can marshal the resources and political clout of the worldÆs democratic community. Asserting that an individualÆs right to democracy and to participate in the government of his or her own state is a ōfundamental international human right,ö the Task Force offers a series of recommendations for more effective action to deter or respond to unconstitutional interruptions of the democratic process and the erosion of democracy and democratic institutions.
The Task Force called on democratic states to implement a number ofĀ recommendations when there is a threat to the survival of democracy in another country:Ā increasing development assistance to new democracies, especially where there is popular frustration about the lack of economic benefits deriving from the establishment of a democracy; developing ōdemocracy erosionö indicators for international financial and trade institutions to target their assistance and stem the erosion; encouraging new democracies to adopt strong domestic laws guaranteeing free elections, human rights, and the independence of the judiciary and to take other measures to promote civil society; spurring regional organizations to adopt ōdemocracy clausesö that would bar the membership of governments that have come to power through unconstitutional means; and exploring the possibility of making the interruption of democracy a crime under international law.
