Snap Fitness's around-the-clock gyms enable members to work on their physical well-being with a cornucopia of fitness equipment. With 24-hour access, members don't have to let The Man tell them when to help themselves to Snap's strength and cardio equipment, which features built-in TVs and other media diversions. For those who exercise during conventional hours, Snap's friendly, unintimidating atmosphere welcomes patrons of all ability levels, unlike schoolyard dodge-ball squads. Members also enjoy nationwide access to all Snap Fitness locations, ideal for working out while traveling. For a dose of custom advice, patrons can seek out a personal-training session with a certified coach, who helps them assess and address their fitness goals. Clients reap the benefit of individual attention as a personal trainer helps them tackle weight loss, prepare for an arm-wrestling competition, or unveil the mysteries of arcane cable-weight machines.
Sun Tan City's trained tanning consultants help clients get bronzed via UV-free tanning booths and ergonomic tanning beds. Guests can schedule a single visit to touch up an existing tan, purchase a multivisit package to get a discounted rate, or become a member to take advantage of the salon's 100% guarantee.
Through detailed consultations, the seasoned staff at Townsquare Hair Associates adapts its aesthetic approach to suit each client's complexion, hair type, or nails. Stylists trim and dye new 'dos, and technicians primp hands and feet with mani-pedis. Meanwhile, custom facial treatments—from microdermabrasion sessions to peels—reveal newly radiant features, aided by products from Clinical Care Skin Solutions.
Zen Massage's team of licensed estheticians customize facials to clients' needs, administering add-ons that target eyes, lips, and hands. LED light therapy is also available. Additionally, certified massage therapists take kinks and knots to task with a wide range of massage modalities designed to address all manner of physical and emotional distress. They offer Swedish, sports, and deep-tissue massages, to name a few.
A team of specialty licensed educators lead the Crave Beauty Academy, where students master cutting-edge techniques for caring for hair, skin, and nails. Haircuts, coloring, and highlight treatments can be augmented with skincare services such as facial peels and epidermabrasion, which works to make skin look younger. And they address full bodies with soothing body wraps and back facials.
The technicians at Bronze Candy Spray Tans have mastered the art of evenly airbrushing their clients to create a deep, streak-free tan. Their full-body tans are UV free, meaning there's no risk of skin damage. Airbrush tans can also help hide imperfections, such as blemishes, cellulite, and birthmarks shaped like curse words.

Iranian Public Relations, Biased Media and Study On PR From 5WPR CEO
- Interestingly, I received an invitation recently to a major Public Relations conference in Iran.: : The: "Islamic Public Relations" conference is being held on: December 8-9, 2012 in Tehran, Iran." While the conference aim is "establishing relationship between Muslim PR practitioners with the aim of increasing convergence and synergizing capabilities," one wonders of the "Public relations leaders, managers and experts in Islamic countries" what happens if the liberal powers that be of the PR industry would indeed show up.: : : What happens if a Jew, or gay or some other minority attends the conference?
o: : : Of course, the media wouldn't think to ask details, as they would any other religious movements professional conference which would purport to effectively ban anyone not of that religion. More details on the conference available at:: http://www.irancpr.ir/en:
- As Cliff Kincaid, the Director of the AIM Center for Investigative Journalism recently wrote, the liberal media is more powerful than ever before. And its absolutely so true — who knows how many swing votes they affected.: : I think the more painful and true reality is that liberal media bias is the new reality — with the exception of Fox News of course.: : Liberal media simply determines the path of the nation — I'd venture 85 percent of political reporters nationally probably voted Obama. Its indeed very scary news.
- On an unrelated note, the: largest study ever: on the Public Relations industry revealed some interesting facts on PR:
o: : : Its believed that 70 percent of the industry is female
o: : : The average age of PR professionals is decreasing
o: : : The younger members surveyed are critical of the older PR professionals and determined to change the image of the PR industry to the public
o: : : Measurement remains a major concern for the industry
More and more conservatives, brands and others who want to be heard will use PR and self-created content to get their news out in an unfiltered-manner.

24/7 Customer Support
For Whirlpool Surface Ignitor (Part Number: AP2928398)
Shirley for Model Number KGCS100S0B0 (serial number X82498201)
Answer Shirley, You would want to check your spark ignition switches 4168745 to make sure that they are good. To do this you would have the power removed and the gas turned off. Access the switches and check them for continuity on each lead while in the off position. If there is continuity then the switch is bad and needs to be replaced.

Eminent scholar Olivier Clément died
17. January 2009 - 9:58Olivier Clément, who has died aged 87, was a French-born Russian Orthodox theologian whose stature was recognised not only by members of other Churches but also by Jews and Muslims. Offering personal proof that it was possible to become Orthodox without going East, he foresaw a Christian future which did not require the Western Church to become Eastern, or vice versa. He worked tirelessly for a mutual respect, which would make possible a recovery of the fullness of truth which would make the Churches one.

ENOSBURGH While Vermont Gas Systems plan to expand south through Addison County has been getting lots of attention, it more quietly has been expanding to the east.
Last week, South Burlington-based Vermont Gas announced that it has added 14 miles of gas distribution pipeline that will enable it to bring natural gas to the village of Enosburg Falls and a major local manufacturer.
The big customer is Franklin Foods, which employs more than 100 workers at an Enosburg Falls plant that is the third-largest producer of cream cheese in the United States.
Both Vermont Gas Systems and officials with Franklin Foods are talking up the lower cost and smaller carbon footprint of natural gas compared with other energy sources.MORE IN Vermont NewsThe sugar tax is back.

Aviel YB et al. – Sleep disturbance and fatigue are prevalent among children with different rheumatic diseases. Sleep disturbance and fatigue are strongly associated with increased pain and decreased quality of life. Strategies aimed at improving sleep and reducing fatigue should be studied as possible ways of improving quality of life for children with rheumatic illness.
Methods- 155 patients (115 JIA, 40 JDM) randomly sampled and mailed questionnaires
- Sleep disturbance assessed by sleep self–report (SSR) and children's sleep habits questionnaire (CSHQ)
- Fatigue, pain and function assessed by the paediatric quality of life inventory (PedsQL) and disease activity by visual analogue scales (VASs)
- Joint counts self–reported
- 81% responded
- 44% reported disturbed sleep (CSHQ>41)
- No differences between disease groups
- Poor reported sleep (SSR) highly correlated with PedsQL fatigue (r=0.56, P<0.0001)
- Fatigue was highly negatively correlated with quality of life (r=–0.77, P<0.0001)
- Worst pain intensity in last week correlated to sleep disturbance (r=0.32, P=0.0005)
- Fatigue was associated with prednisone and DMARD use

Skullcandy S2SYDA-008 Merge Earbud Headphones - Black/Chrome
" Upon initial listening with these buds, I was rather unimpressed as I heard the rather familiar bloated mid-bass, sharp highs, and lack of mids that SKDY's old line carried. Then I realized that I still had my source EQ'd to Vocal Booster. Changed over to R&B and wow, night and day difference. The Merge are greatly influenced by an EQ, with the R&B setting completely bring the..." --KodaO

CDC Home > HIV/AIDS > Topics > Funding > Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) PS10-10138: Expanded Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Testing for Disproportionately Affected Populations > Frequently Asked Questions
This FOA represents an expansion of the initial 3-year Expanded HIV Testing Initiative, which was funded under PS 07-768 and primarily targeted African Americans. The target population in the new program has been broadened and now includes (1) African American and Hispanic men and women, and (2) men who have sex with men (MSM) and injection drug users (IDUs), regardless of race or ethnicity. The number of health department jurisdictions eligible for funding under the new program has also been expanded – from 25 to 30. The additional five jurisdictions eligible include Alabama, Arizona, Illinois, Puerto Rico, and San Francisco. The jurisdictions that are eligible for this program accounted for the following percentages of AIDS diagnoses among these populations in the United States in 2007: Blacks/African Americans – 94%, Hispanics/Latinos – 91%, MSM – 86%, IDUs – 93%, and MSM/IDUs – 85%.
The purpose of this program is to increase HIV testing opportunities for populations disproportionately affected by HIV – primarily (1) African American and Hispanic men and women, and (2) MSM and IDUs, regardless of race or ethnicity – and increase the proportion of HIV-infected persons in these populations who are aware of their infection and are linked to appropriate services.
This FOA includes two components:
Part A – HIV Screening and HIV Counseling, Testing, and Referral. Part A has two categories of program services:
Applicants may apply for funding under Category 1 or both Categories 1 and 2, but not Category 2 alone. Service integration is an optional activity under Part A.
Part B – Enhanced Linkage to Medical Care and Partner Services. Applicants must apply for Part A. Applying for Part B is optional.
Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with one or more of the following performance goal(s) for CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP):
This announcement only supports non-research activities, as defined by CDC. If research is proposed, the application will not be reviewed.
Link to CDC's definition of research.
Visit Grants.gov to learn more about and view the FOA, as well as its associated attachments and appendices. Click on Find Grant Opportunities, then click on Search andenter the words "HIV Prevention" in the Keyword Search field.
CDC has established a website to help applicants better understand the goals and objectives of the FOA. The website contains a copy of the FOA in its entirety, as well as links to the Grants.gov website and additional updates and information.
The FOA website will be regularly updated with the latest information about the FOA and all related technical assistance (TA) activities. Visit the FOA website.
Technical assistance (TA) resources are identified on the FOA website.
In addition to the website, the following technical assistance (TA) activities will help applicants complete the application process:
Information and schedule for the Webcast Conference Call is available on the FOA website:
Part A – HIV Screening and HIV Counseling, Testing, and Referral
Approximate Current Fiscal Year Funding: $47,500,000.
Approximate Total Project Period Funding: $142,500,000 over the full three years of the program. (This amount is an estimate, and is subject to availability of funds. This amount includes direct and indirect costs.)
Approximate Number of Awards: 30
Approximate Average Award: $1,580,000. The average awards will be proportionately based on estimated combined 2007 Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino AIDS diagnoses for eligible jurisdictions. (These amounts are for the first 12-month budget period, and include both direct and indirect costs.)
Part B – Enhanced Linkage to Medical Care and Partner Services
Approximate Current Fiscal Year Funding: $1,000,000.
Approximate Total Project Period Funding: $3,000,000 over the full three years of the program. (This amount is an estimate, and is subject to availability of funds. This amount includes direct and indirect costs.)
Approximate Number of Awards: 5
Organizations that are selected for awards under this FOA will receive funding by September 30, 2010.
The project length is three years. Throughout the project period, CDC's commitment to continuation of awards will be conditioned on the availability of funds, evidence of satisfactory progress by the recipient (as documented in required reports), and the determination that continued funding is in the best interest of the federal government.
To be granted a continuation award, you must have:
Matching funds are not required for this program.
State and local governments or their Bona Fide Agents may apply for funding under this FOA.
A Bona Fide Agent is an agency or organization identified by the state as eligible to submit an application under the state eligibility in lieu of a state application. If applying as a Bona Fide Agent of an eligible state or local government, a Memorandum of Agreement with the eligible state or local government as documentation of the status is required and must be submitted with the application. At a minimum, the Memorandum of Agreement must include the following:
Attach the Memorandum of Agreement with "Other Attachment Forms" when submitting via Grants.gov
Eligibility for this Funding Opportunity Announcement is limited to health department jurisdictions with at least 175 estimated combined AIDS diagnoses among Blacks/African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos in 2007. Eligible jurisdictions, based on this criterion, are listed below:
New Jersey
New York State
New York City
District of Columbia
North Carolina
Puerto Rico
Los Angeles
San Francisco
South Carolina
This includes five new jurisdictions that were not included in the initial program under PS 07-768: Alabama, Arizona, Illinois, Puerto Rico, and San Francisco.
Applications may be submitted by health departments of states and cities (or their bona fide agents) that currently receive CDC HIV prevention funds under Program Announcement PS10-1001: HIV Prevention Projects for Health Departments. This FOA is limited to jurisdictions with at least 175 estimated combined AIDS diagnoses among Blacks/African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos in 2007, because this will allow it to reach those areas with the greatest need for HIV testing services among populations that are disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic (that is, Blacks/African Americans; Hispanics/Latinos; and MSM and IDUs, regardless of race or ethnicity). The jurisdictions that meet this criterion accounted for the following percentages of AIDS diagnoses among these populations in the United States in 2007: Blacks/African Americans – 94%, Hispanics/Latinos – 91%, MSM – 86%, IDUs – 93%, and MSM/IDUs – 85%.

August 6, 2014
Net income totaled $11.4 million, or 41 cents per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $31.1 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, for the Florida-based operation.
Revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $255.6 million. Excluding fuel surcharges, revenue for the quarter increased $11.1 million, or 5.3%, compared to the prior-year period. This revenue improvement was primarily due to strong growth in chemical logistics, which was driven by increased volumes and positive contribution from new terminals established during the first and second quarters of 2014, according to the company.
"We are pleased with our second quarter performance as we delivered strong top line growth, advanced our balance sheet improvement strategy and met the high end of our earnings expectation range," stated Gary Enzor, chairman and CEO. "Our chemical and intermodal segments posted very solid results and all three of our operating segments generated increases in driver counts. On a company-wide basis, our driver count has risen 6% since the end of last year."
For the third quarter of 2014, Quality expects adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of 19 cents to 23 cents. For the full year 2014, it expects adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of 72 cents to 78 cents.
Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, Quality operates the chemical bulk logistics network Quality Carriers and is a provider of intermodal tank container and depot services through Boasso America Corporation.

Los Angeles, 1958. Killings, beatings, bribes, shakedowns--it's standard procedure for Lieutenant Dave Klein, LAPD. He's a slumlord, a bagman, an enforcer--a power in his own small corner of hell. Then the Feds announce a full-out investigation into local police corruption, and everything goes haywire.
Klein's been hung out as bait, "a bad cop to draw the heat," and the heat's coming from all sides: from local politicians, from LAPD brass, from racketeers and drug… (more)

Title: "Digging Up Divine Waters: The Hypostyle Fountain Excavations at Labraunda."
You may not have heard of Labraunda, but you probably know the name of its most famous patron, Mausolus, whose tomb – the Mausoleum – was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. During the 4th century BCE, Mausolus and his family transformed Labraunda from a rustic shrine in the mountains of western Anatolia (modern Turkey) into an elaborate sanctuary, where pilgrims feasted, athletes competed in games, and priests made sacrifices to Zeus of the Double-Axe, a local version of the Anatolian storm god. New excavations of a monumental fountain at the sanctuary are revealing details about the peculiar vernacular architecture of the site and the experience of worshipping at this unique place in antiquity. This talk presents the preliminary results of these excavations and explores how water nurtured the sanctuary's growth into a major focus of regional religious activity and political power. Prof. Commito (Ph.D., University of Michigan) is the Assistant Director of Brown University's Labraunda Project.

In January, the Bulgarian Court overturned a decision by the Bulgarian Minister of the Environment to revoke permission for a wind energy project threatening a high nature value area as well as the globally endangered bird species inhabiting it.
On Friday 8 February, after months of discussions and a final 24 hour sprint session during the EU Summit, the 27 EU Heads of State, finally agreed on the EU budget for the period 2014-2020. The result is a blow to the environment. Not only is it a historically small budget, 908 billion euro compared to 970 billion euro for the current period (2007 – 2013), but it also entails an extermination of all expectations for greening.
Drop everything for a moment today, and remind yourself of the vital role wetland play in supporting life. For today is World Wetlands Day!
Over the past ten years the population of Little Owl in Switzerland has increased after a sharp decline. The Hoopoe more than doubled and the Corncrake came back at the level of breeding species after almost reaching the level of extinction in the 1990's. These are some of the results of the Swiss Species Recovery Program for Birds.
Priolo remains one of Europe's most threatened species and its precarious future still hangs in the balance. More work is needed to ensure population gains can be maintained and that the species' long-term future can be secured.
BirdLife South Africa and BirdLife International are very concerned that the proposed development of a wind farm at Letseng in Lesotho could have severe impacts on the already declining populations of Cape Vultures and Lammergeiers.

09/30/2014Filtering Samples to On-Line Process Analyzers
Increasingly precise process control strategies, often linked to computer control, have accelerated the use of sophisticated on-line chemical composition analyzers in plant applications. Instruments such as gas and liquid chromatographs, ion chromatographs, laser optic instruments, atomic absorption instruments and specific ion analyzers, which were rarities in laboratories ten years ago, are now found routinely in plant settings.
While continuing miniaturization and "rugged-ization" of the electronics are making the instrumentation circuitry more tolerant of the plant environment, the level of contamination in plant samples compared to laboratory samples continues to plague the process. This white paper reviews the factors in plant operation that may affect the deliverability of acceptable samples and provides guidelines for addressing these factors.11/04/2014Avoid Instrument Failure: Ensure Proper Filtration and Delivery of Samples to On Line Process Analyzers

Neque enim ita mihi mea placent, ut no perpendam, quid alii de illis iudicaturi sint. Et quamuis sciam, hominis philosophi cogitationes esse remotas a iudicio uulgi, propterea quod illius studium sit veritatem omnibus in rebus, quatenus id a Deo rationi humane permissum est, inquirere, tamen alienas prorsus a rectitudine opiniones fugiendas censeo. Itaque cumecum ipse cogitatem, quam absurdum existimaturi essent illi, qui multorum seculorum iudiciis hanc opinione confirmatam norut, quod terra immobilis in medio coeli, tan quam centrum illius posita sit, si ego contra assererem terram moueri, diu mecum haesi, an meos comentrios in eius motus demonstrationem conscriptos in lucem darem…
For I am not so enamored of my own opinions that I disregard what others may think of them. I am aware that a philosopher's ideas are not subject to the judgment of ordinary persons, because it is his endeavor to seek the truth in all things, to the extent permitted to human reason by God. Yet I hold that completely erroneous views should be shunned. Those who know that the consensus of many centuries has sanctioned the conception that the earth remains at rest in the middle of the heaven as its center would, I reflected, regard it as an insane pronouncement if I made the opposite assertion that the earth moves.

With feathers and sequins and (simulated) fruit, a tribute to Carmen Miranda wound up the season for Lincoln Center Out of Doors. On Wednesday night at Damrosch Park, Brazilian musicians revived the Miranda repertory, updating the music but holding on to the high spirits.
In the 1930's and 40's, Miranda was an icon for whom exotic meant erotic. On Broadway and in the movies, she personified a south-of-the-border allure that was culturally and geographically vague; sometimes she sang in Spanish, sometimes in her native Portuguese, sometimes in English. (She was born in Portugal and grew up in Brazil.) But with flirtation and spunk, she also brought the samba to an international audience, and in some of the songs chosen for Wednesday's program, she burnished the image of Baianas, the women of Bahia who maintain Afro-Brazilian traditional culture.
Six Brazilian singers, and the saxophonist Ze Luis, performed Miranda's songs with obvious affection, while a small band led by Steve Sandberg alluded to various regional styles. Mr. Luis, playing soprano saxophone, turned his selections into undistinguished pop-jazz, but the singers were uniformly delightful.
The deep-voiced Maria Alcina opened the show wearing a silver-lame dress trimmed in pink feathers, topped by a golden headdress of plastic fruit; a glittering chorus line joined her for a carnival medley. Both Bebel Gilberto and Denise Dummont made their way through the quick patter and arpeggiated melodies of Miranda's novelty sambas, ''Tic Tac Do Meu Coracao'' and ''Tico-Tico No Fuba.'' Emilio Santiago revealed a baritone that was rich and relaxed in a ballad, ''Ay Yoyo,'' but agile enough for sambas. And the concert's reigning star, Elba Ramalho, could make her voice a clear peal or a rocker's growl; she had the crowd singing along on her hit, ''Balance.''
Juliana Aquino, who has worked as a backup singer, revealed a suave, sensual alto voice that brought out the teasing mock-naivete of ''I Like You Very Much.'' She also strengthened the Bahian connection of ''O Que a Baiana Tem,'' as additional drummers joined her to play Afro-Brazilian rhythms. Dancing on stage, Ms. Aquino offered her own variation on Miranda's symbolism of fecundity. Her bare midriff revealed her pregnancy, and a bunch of bananas was painted on her belly.
