USAID to Invest US $50 Million over a Five-Year Period to Improve Access and Availability to Family Planning
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., June 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has announced that Family Health International (FHI) -- a global public health and development organization -- will lead a major family planning research project known as PROGRESS (Program Research for Strengthening Services).
The project will generate knowledge and awareness about family planning programs that can be adopted by health systems in developing countries. This initiative will focus on identifying the need for new or improved family planning methods for individuals and communities, providing increased access to contraceptive services, and strengthening the capabilities of health researchers -- and those in a position to apply new knowledge -- in developing countries. The goal is to improve the quality of reproductive health services by ensuring that programs around the world draw on the best available scientific evidence.
As the largest ever generation of young people enters their reproductive years, PROGRESS will play an important role in helping them reach their goals by making contraceptive methods more accessible and available. Some 150 million couples in the developing world say they would prefer to plan their births but are not currently using family planning. Ultimately, the aim of the project is to apply research to ensure longer, healthier lives for some of the world's poorest women and children.
USAID has pledged up to US $50 million to this project, to be allocated over a five-year period. To ensure that research addresses the issues that are most important to the people who need these services, FHI will collaborate with researchers, program managers, and policymakers in governmental and non-governmental agencies in a number of countries.

"Really good starter recipe. I have to add lots of hotness to mine. But this is the general list of ingredients, you just have to adjust the heat to your own tastes! YUMMY!"
"Super easy and super tasty. Much easier and quicker than boiling. Especially if you don't want to make a big batch all at once."
"Really good. Very pickle-y. Maybe might try adding more spices next time to give it a different twist."
"These were so easy!!! And the variations are endless. I used spicy breakfast sausage and shredded cheese. Next time will definitely add much more cheese and probably onions! Thanks for sharing!"
"DH and I really liked this! The crescent roll dough adds a slight sweetness, which is YUMMY! My variations: used precooked spicy sausage patties, added onions."
"This dish is very easy to prepare. Maybe a little bland. Next time I will try to figure out some more spices to add. Definitely a keeper though."

We live in an amazing time. Instant worldwide communication, libraries of books stored in tiny gadgets, shopping without leaving the house - even science fiction writers of the past didn't dream up many of these developments. And we're not done yet by a long shot.
The next-generation gadgets will take the space-age gadgets we've developed and refine them. In many cases, I think we'll be surprised where the items we have today will end up.
In fact, here are seven "out there" technologies that take tech to the next level. You aren't able to buy them right this second, but they're coming soon and I'm sure you'll want them when they arrive.
So, without further ado, let's get to the tech.

"Beautiful design, front and back. Elegant. We upgraded to pearly finish and like it very much. My fiancé liked them because they were not too feminine. Delivered very quickly. Very pleased overall."
"I was so pleased with how this card turned out. My fiance and I opted to remove the monogram at the top and added our website below the reception script. The design team did every request we asked for and with quick turn-around time. The final product came in and looked fabulous. I would highly recommend the pearl shimmer paper which makes the gold and the lacing really *pop* As a side note, we ordered the gold metallic envelopes which are beautiful but other customers should know you will have to get specific inks to write on the envelope such as opaque ink or acrylic ink (if not using a calligrapher)."
"Ordered these invitations for our wedding in June and am so pleased with the result. They are absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to share them with our friends and family. Great customer service and super quick delivery."
"My invitations are gorgeous and they came in before my expected delivery date! I would definitely recommend Weddimg Paper Divas!"
"This was a beautiful invitation. However, if we could redo ours, we would have used a much brighter picture with the sun shining through as in the example."

Smart Design Dragon iPod Dock has Tentacles
It seems that just about every day, another company jumps into the fray with another iPod dock, so it's good to see one that stands out a little bit.
Smart Design's Dragon I iPod dock has a unique style that certainly isn't shy. For starters, the sound system has a bold red and black gloss color scheme perfectly suited to the U2 special edition iPod (but should look good with any black iPod.) Then it's got some crazy "tentacles" which each have a 5-watt speaker at the end of a flexible rod. The design also features a cozy little drawer to store the systems' compact remote control.
While the Dragon I looks best with an appropriately styled iPod, you can also dock pretty much any MP3 player with a mini stereo connector. It should be available in Europe sometime in April, and willcost

A lot has changed since Cheryl Mellenthin graduated with a bachelor's degree in nursing in 1979.
University of Wisconsin Oshkosh alumni Russ and Jean Hutchison feel passionately about giving a future student the same kind of opportunity they had in attending UW Oshkosh.
For five University of Wisconsin Oshkosh journalism students, it was about telling a story. For their sources, the stories were real-life experiences in war zones.
The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is undergoing an era of collaboration that, simply put, turns waste—true waste, like food scraps, lawn clippings and even cow manure—into energy and learning.

Jane Boucher helps you find success—and enjoy working for it—in the workplace.
Lots of us have been there. Stuck in a job that gets us down. You know the feeling. You dread Mondays. You watch the clock, praying for the workday to be over. This can be a recipe for misery. On average, Americans spend 80 percent of their waking hours at work. That's way too much time to be unhappy. Every job has its challenges. Everyone has bad days at work. But if you find yourself screaming, "I hate this job!" once too often, it's time to change your life a little—or a lot.
Do It Today
I used to be a high school counselor. I loved talking to at-risk kids. But you wouldn't believe the mounds of paperwork thrown at me. For every student, there were multiple evaluation forms.
I'd push the forms to the side of my desk for a few days, a few weeks. By the end of my first month on the job, I was so swamped with paperwork I hardly had any time to talk to the kids.
I stayed late one night to do my evaluations, now a towering stack of papers.
Lord, I shouldn't have let things get to this point. Please show me how to get through it. Feeling revived, I picked up the first form. Page by page I worked through the stack. There was no other way.
Solution? I set a regular time to get the work I liked the least done first. Then I could maximize my time with the kids.
We've all got a lot coming at us—e-mail, voice mail, customer complaints, presentations. If you let the negative aspects of your job build up, at some point they'll become your entire job. Tackle the nasty stuff first so you can focus on the part of your job you enjoy.
They're Called Coworkers for a Reason
Do you realize most of us spend more time with our coworkers than with our family and friends? When relationships with coworkers are troubled, your life will be too. Like a marriage or a friendship, work relationships require effort, thoughtfulness, respect and clear communication.
Download a Free eBook filled with stories that show you how to transform life's challenges into opportunities!
My friend Lynn did her job well and didn't understand why people snubbed her. No one ever asked her to lunch. Conversations were strictly business. One day Lynn overheard two coworkers talking about her. They called her a know-it-all.
My advice: Talk to those coworkers. Don't confront them; talk to them. Ask, "What can I do to help us work together more effectively?" Using the word "I" let them know she wasn't finding fault but was willing to work on their relationship.
She found out that the tension stemmed from her tone of voice and body language. Lynn had a habit of crossing her arms, which coworkers interpreted as standoffish. Her voice took an authoritative tone in conversations, even if it was because Lynn was just making sure that she was understood. Lynn tried to modify her behavior. Her coworkers were impressed that she opened the lines of communication. The effort alone did a lot to smooth over hard feelings.
We All Have One
A boss, that is. And there are all types, believe me. Bonnie, a hospital head nurse, put in long hours. But her boss, the chief of staff, didn't appreciate her dedication. "He constantly berates me about problems that are out of my control," she said. "The harder I work, the more he yells."
I told Bonnie what my father always told me about difficult people: Kill 'em with kindness. Go to her boss and ask, "Is there anything I can do to help you?" The first time Bonnie tried that, her boss snorted, "What? You don't have enough to do?" Bonnie asked again the next day and the day after that. Her boss gave her flippant responses. But on the fourth try—quite possibly out of exhaustion—he gave Bonnie a real answer. Bonnie followed through with the request, and her boss couldn't help but be grateful.
"The whole time I was praying for my boss," Bonnie said. "Every night I'd ask the Lord to give him peace of mind. I guess I got some peace too!"
The key was that Bonnie always stayed in control of her emotions. By being sympathetic to her boss's problems, Bonnie got him to drop his defenses and see her true intent—to build a better relationship. Within a year he recommended Bonnie for a promotion. And she's still praying for him.

There was a robbery at the Ladbrokes betting shop in Newland Street, Witham, yesterday.
A man entered the betting shop at about 3.50pm and handed a note over to the cashier demanding money.
No money was handed over and the man left empty handed. He is thought to have made off in the direction of Lockram Lane.
He is described as wearing a black tracksuit with a hooded top and dark woolly hat. He had a goatee beard and was about 5ft 8ins tall and slim.
A search of the area was conducted, including the use of the helicopter, but as yet no one has been arrested.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Braintree CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Ukraine Is "Pressing" Obama For $3 Billion In Financial Aid
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 13:27It would appear Gazprom has once again come knocking for payment - or else. As Bloomberg reports, Ukraine is pressing the Obama administration to provide political support, as much as $3b in financial aid and "non-lethal weapons," with the goal of some progress by the end of February, Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko says. Of course, given Europe's agreement to further sanction Russia (asEU agrees more "punitive" steps are now possible) President Obama will be happy to lend Ukraine more American taxpayer money (despite the market's perception that Ukraine's default probability is over 80% - six year highs).

Weekly Treasury Issuance Concludes With Weaker 7 Year Auction
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 13:19After the delayed 5 Year auction took place 90 minutes ago, and priced strongly well through the When Issued, it was the turn of the last for this week auction of $29 billion in 7 Year paper, which just concluded and, somewhat surprisingly, was the worst of all auctions this week: not only did it tail modestly, pricing at 1.59%, a 0.4 bps tail wider than the 1.586% WI, but the Bid To Cover also was just modestly anove last month's 2.388, at 2.499, below the TTM average of 2.56. To be sure, a key factor for this superficial weakness was that the high yield of 1.59% was the lowest since May of 2013, as a result all those who have booked major profits in last month's auction pricing at 2.13 likely had far less of an incentive to get involved here.

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 12:19Earlier, we laid out a very reasonable explanation by none other than Europe's largest insurer AXA why the ECB's QE will fail. The ECB did not like ththis, so it decided to reply. This is how the ECB just "crushed" AXA's logic.
And scene.

5 Year Auction Yield Tumbles To Lowest Since May 2013
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 11:43As we previously noted, yesterday's 2 Year auction was an absolute blockbuster and accurately guessed the general direction of the bond market following yesterday's FOMC announcement. Moments ago, the US Treasury sold $35 billion in 5 Year paper, the first of two Note auctions, with the 7 Year due at 1pm today, and like yesterday it too was a very strong auction, with the High Yield tumbling from 1.739% last month, when most were assuming a rate hike is imminent to just 1.288%, stopping through the 1.295% When Issued, and suggesting that the relentless collateral shortage of the past 2 years simply refuses to go away. This was also the lowest closing yield of a 5 Year auction since May 2013.

Marissa Mayer's (Value) Added: Yahoo Is Now Worth A Negative $1 Billion
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 11:18Yahoo! shares are down meaningfully during the last two trading days due to the decline in BABA shares, even though Yahoo! announced this week the best-case scenario for its shareholders in the form of a tax-free spin-off of its entire equity position in BABA (see our note here). The trading has created an unusual dislocation, in our opinion. Assuming 1) that the BABA stake trades at a 10% discount to BABA as a SpinCo (and, therefore, is worth $33/YHOO share at current BABA levels), and 2) that its 35% equity stake in Yahoo! Japan is valued using a 44% discount to the current market value (i.e., a 38% tax rate plus a 10% liquidity value), then the core Yahoo! business is currently valued at nearly a negative enterprise value of $1bn.

AXA Investment Managaer Explains Why The ECB's QE Has Already Failed Using "Widget Makers"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 10:54"People say, 'Sell government bonds and lend money to widget manufacturers.' It doesn't really work like that." Hayes says, adding that "Low yields don't necessarily mean more lending to the real economy; time and confidence are key elements and last 6 years have shown QE can't control those." In short: it hasn't even started and QE is already a complete failure. Good job central-planners.

It Will Now Cost You 0.5% To Save Money In Denmark: Danish Central Bank Cuts Rates For Third Time In Two Weeks
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 10:13When the Danish Central Bank cut rates precisely a week ago, going from NIRP to NIRPer, and pushing the deposit rate from -0.2% to -0.35%, the sense of desperation was already in the air: after all this was already the second rate cut by the Denmark's monetary authority in one week, all in the hope of preserving the peg to the DEK to the EUR. That sense of desperation just hit a fever pitch moments ago, when the Dutch central bank just went NIRPest, and cut rates across the board yet again, and made it even more costly to save money in the north European country, where the Deposit rate has just been cut from -0.35% to -0.5%!

Pending Home Sales See 2nd Biggest MoM Plunge Since May 2010
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 10:10The 3.7% plunge MoM in December's pending home sales is the 2nd largest since May 2010, drastically missing expectations of a 0.5% rise in sales (buoyed by exuberance from homebuilders). All regions saw weakness but the Northeast was worst with a 7.5% MoM plunge (so weather will be blamed we are sure - though it appears analysts never thought of that). Inventories fell for the first time in 16 months but NAR's chief economist proclaims it is time for "current homeowners to realize their equity gains and trade-up." Yep - more leverage...

Putin's Unexpected Victory: Europe Furious That Greece Is Now A Russian Sanctions Veto
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 09:57Two days ago, Zero Hedge first, and shortly thereafter everyone else, pointed out something stunning: the biggest surprise to emerge so far out of the new anti-Troika/austerity Greek government was not so much its intention to proceed with the first test of "Odious Debt" - this was largely known in advance - but its dramatic pivot away from Germany and Europe, and toward Russia: The most important message that Tsipras is sending to Europe is that (after meeting the Russian ambassador first upon his election) Greece is now effectively a veto power when it comes to future Russian sanctions!

Plenty to Come was a wonderful debut novel by Lara Valentine. The heroine, Cassie, is a very likeable character who's trying to make a new start in the small town of Plenty, Florida with her best friend, Jillian. Not long after moving to Plenty, Cassie meets brothers Zach and Chase Harper, who like to share their women - just as many men in Plenty seem to. I loved the tension between Cassie and the Harper brothers as they all got to know one another. Chase and Zach are attentive to Cassie's needs and are very protective of her when they learn about the horrors she left behind in Chicago. The relationship that develops between Cassie and the Harper brothers is sweet and the sex is smoking hot. I also loved the contracting characteristics between Zach and Chase - one is more laid back and gentle, and the other is more dominant and rough in bed. This book has a lot of emotion packed into it, held my attention the whole way through, and sets the stage perfectly for a sequel with the best friend, Jillian, and the pair of brothers who begin a relationship with her towards the end. If you like a good ménage romance novel, you don't want to miss this one!

My review from Goodreads:
This was an okay story that had the potential to be a good story. It started off promising and I enjoyed reading the description of the town and of the main characters in this story.
Cassie was a "tiny thing with long hair and elfin features. Slim, but she still managed to have curves. "
"While Chase radiated playfulness and charm, Zach radiated authority and power. Chase would probably charm the panties off women, and Zach would simply hold out his hand and calmly ask for them."
The cover of this book doesn't look like these characters at all though. Just saying…
Cassie has some bad stuff happen to her in her hometown of Chicago so she and her best friend Jillian make a fresh start and move site unseen to Plenty Florida to become teachers. A quaint town with very friendly people so different from Chicago's hustle and bustle. Little did they know that Plenty, FL is a small town that is very accepting of polyamory. Charlie at the pizza place gave a good explanation of what this means when Cassie and Jillian stop by for a bite to eat their first week in town.
"It's not polygamy. It's polyamory or m¿nageamous. And the men don't take multiple wives. Only the women take multiple husbands. It started back a couple of hundred years ago. Florida was a dangerous, untamed place and it was to a woman's advantage to have more than one husband to take care of her and the children. If something happened to one husband, well, she had a spare. Not to mention, unsettled territory like this didn't have that many women to begin with, so men began sharing a wife. The tradition lives on in Plenty. Of course, not everyone has a plural marriage. Some have a regular monogamous marriage. But folks here are open-minded about things and people. We like it that way," Charlie said. "We want people to live life on their own terms. The only thing different about a m¿nage marriage is the love. There is more of it."
Interesting explanation and a good segue way into this series. A whole town that is open, inviting and accepting of different kinds of relationships. Not just Wow! But Holy Cow Wow! What I found incredible was how easily Cassie and Jillian accepted this revelation with hardly any questions. I can understand them accepting alternate relationships since Jillian's brother Mark is married to a great guy Travis but polyamory is all new to them. So where were the questions and the hesitating that would follow this kind of surprise…I think more time should have been spent exploring this.
Hardly any time passes and Cassie, Zach and Chase are dating. This moves to fast for me. Zach is described as dominate but I didn't really see or feel any D/s dynamics between him and Cassie…A little 'slap and tickle' but nothing that I would term Dominate/submissive. The sex between them is nice but not as many scenes as I would have like were described for a story this long.
The middle of the story passes pretty quickly though not always smoothly. Lot's of details on what I think will be a second book staring Jillian and possibly a third book with Becca. Both characters sound interesting. The end where the bad guy comes into play just went to fast, not much suspense. Overall not a bad book, it just needs more work to make it a good book.

COLUMBIA -- When Steve Spurrier is asked about South Carolina's offense these days, he begins, quite naturally, by praising Marcus Lattimore and Alshon Jeffery.
But there's another name he's quick to add: Stephen Garcia.
Step back and let that sink in. Not even a half-breath after a couple of All-SEC shoo-ins, Spurrier is willing to include a player he was incredibly critical of in the springtime.
Spurrier has insisted he wasn't too hard on Garcia then. Now, it's difficult to question the man's methods after watching Garcia's leap forward this fall as a redshirt junior.
Sure, a lot of things have played into it (Lattimore and Jeffery, notably), but it's obvious Garcia has grown into his skin quite nicely.
Garcia has completed 175 of his 257 passes for 2,419 yards with 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
All that adds up in the very complicated passing efficiency formula to make Garcia the No. 9 quarterback in the country.
Consider the players ahead of Garcia on the list. It's a who's-who of postseason award contenders and first-round picks, between Boise State's Kellen Moore, TCU's Andy Dalton and Stanford's Andrew Luck.
SEC representatives Cam Newton (Auburn), Ryan Mallett (Arkansas) and Greg McElroy (Alabama) are also just ahead of Garcia.
It's good company.
"He's gotten better," USC receivers coach Steve Spurrier Jr. said. "My dad's on everybody. I can't remember a quarterback he didn't get on. But, you know, he's gotten better."
All this, of course, isn't taking into consideration Garcia's road to get to this point.
The only reason to bring up Garcia's run-ins with police, as a first- and second-year player, is to illustrate how far this Garcia is removed from that one.
"From freshman year, he's matured so much," said senior captain Pat DiMarco, a fellow Floridian who is one of Garcia's best friends on the team. "It's incredible just how much better of a human being he is and how much more grown-up he's been."
There's still a line in the sand that Spurrier establishes about positivity toward and about Garcia.
Asked two very specific questions about the quarterback at his Tuesday news conference, Spurrier briefly -- very briefly -- mentioned Garcia. And then launched into minutes-long diatribes about something altogether unrelated.
The first question was about Garcia's decision-making.
"Yeah, he's played much more consistently this year," Spurrier said. "He needs to play these two weeks (against Clemson and Auburn) very well."
Then came a lengthy, unprompted breakdown of the fact that, sometimes, teams (such as Troy) don't play well for whatever reasons.
The second was about Garcia and cold weather.
Spurrier spent a half- second saying he thinks it's coincidental that Garcia hasn't played well in cold-weather games.
Then came a lengthy discussion, specifically, about the Arkansas game.
Additionally, Spurrier has relegated Garcia to only a couple of midweek media sessions. Regularly, interview requests (including one this Wednesday) are denied.
Further, Spurrier has even kept quarterbacks coach G.A. Mangus muzzled most of the fall, as well.
Spurrier would rather those gentlemen play and coach than chat. Given the results, can you blame him?
Would you rather hear Garcia (or Spurrier or Mangus) talk about Garcia's play? Or watch him play well?
"He's much more composed," DiMarco said. "He understands the offense, probably the best of anyone on the field. Compared to last year, it's a whole different level."
Two singled-out plays illustrate how far he's come. They're what Spurrier and the Gamecocks call "scramble plays" -- ad-lib moments that had previously resulted in mild success for the offense, at best, and turnovers at worst.
In the past, Garcia, in all likelihood, would have taken off and run for 2 or 3 yards. Or maybe he would've been sacked.
But once against Vanderbilt, and twice against Florida, Garcia continued to survey the field, extending the play for as long as possible. That's what Spurrier talked about last season and this spring.
Against Vanderbilt, the scramble right turned into a 72-yard, game-sealing touchdown pass to Alshon Jeffery.
The play, a third-down conversion pass, was a bit subtler against the Gators. Garcia again rolled right and found D.L. Moore for a 19-yard gain that set up a score to start the second half and put South Carolina ahead by two touchdowns.
Two plays -- and two huge statements for Garcia's progress.
"He's the kind of guy you definitely want to have when the game's close," sophomore center T.J. Johnson said. "He wants the ball. He wants to step up and take charge. He's doing it, more and more."

everything was almost 100%.
HOWEVER, there were two controls to the T.V.
no instructions on how to use them.

A Very Pleased Guest
January 06, 2015
I recently spent the holidays with my family of 7 in New Orleans and stayed at the Candlewood Suites. They made our 2 room accommodation very convenient. We had everything we needed including a grocery store right within reach. The hotel provided all the necessary amenities including laundry facility, board games and entertainment for the children. I was very pleased with the cleanliness and convenience of the well stocked rooms. The beds were comfy, the towels were plush and we enjoyed having a kitchenette on the nights we wanted a home cooked meal. This will be where I stay every time I travel with my family.
Room and Bed and staff
January 06, 2015
Spacious room. Furnished very nicely. Relaxing, comfortable bed. Air condition unit very quite. Work well. Bathroom nice spacious. Well kept, clean. Plenty of hot water. Very friendly staff. Nights we came in very late, someone was always there to let us in immediately. Felt safe.
Great value, great room

The price of the room could not be beat! The room was perfect for us. Extremely comfortable beds. Hotel located in a well lit suburban area. Can safely walk to grocery store two doors down the road. We had a small problem the first night, but the staff took care of it well above and beyond my expectations.

The Geometric Porn app by artist Luciano Foglia uses basic shapes to illustrate images suggestive of copulating sexual organs. Considered too explicit for the app store, the short clip is oddly seductive and creatively playful.
Geometry continually inspires modern creations, from polygonal art to bizarre and intricate architectural designs. It's about time that it peaked the interests of someone willing to play around with geometry's potential for a mature audience. Luciano Foglia's geometric erotica makes the case against those who argue that math isn't sexy.
Funny, titillating and seductively simple, Luciano Foglia takes the minimalist concept of art and design to a new level with this app that sadly will not make its way to the iTunes store; however, with Draw Something being the latest app craze, perhaps would-be doodlers can grab some inspiration from this geometric piece.

This board sounds super sick, but i was wondering if its more directed for rails or if i can hit big bangers with it too.since it has reverse camber and will be first rockered board
Wooden Robots
No it is built for all types of freestyle, rail, jumps, boxes anything you can thing of you can do on this deck. The reverse camber is a continuous rocker, this will give you a predictible flex every time. You will need a few runs to get used to the board and the way it rides, but after a couple runs you will be stoked.

Revenue commissioner Myron Frans on business services tax
By Tom Nehil | 01/30/13
At the center of Gov. Mark Dayton's proposed expansion of the sales tax in Minnesota is a tax on business to business services, like legal and accounting services. Businesses are concerned that this tax will put them at a competitive disadvantage with businesses in other states. In a hearing Tuesday, Rep. Jennifer Loon, R-Eden Prairie, pointedly asked the commissioner, "What states put a tax on business to business services?" Frans' answer is complicated — 47 states have such taxes, but the actual services taxed vary by state.

Mesa officials are poised to make changes to a map enlarging the noise range for Falcon Field Airport - an action that has raised a furor among residents.
The much-debated subject of changing the noise contour map and a related public airport disclosure map, which informs new homebuyers of the airport's nearby presence, is really not a debate at all, according to city officials. They say it's a Federal Aviation Administration guideline the city must follow.
Corrine Nystrom, the airport's director, recently told the City Council and mayor at a meeting the footprint change was part of the larger master plan created for the airport to prepare it for growth in the future. Nystrom informed city officials that a larger noise footprint was necessary given the airport's growth.
A recent report to the city identified 84 businesses at the airport employing more than 1,200 workers. About 900 aircraft are currently based there, and in less than 20 years, that number is expected to grow to 1,500.
Nystrom said both the map and master plan would be presented to the FAA for approval.
"The FAA says, 'We either agree or disagree with your Falcon Field forecast,'" she said of the master plan, which highlights economic growth, as well as airport development projects. "At airport master plans across the United States, you want to have consistency - a level playing field."
Residents have mounted protest over all of the changes at the airport, recently submitting a 30-page petition to the city highlighting concerns, including the safety of flight operations and noise from aircraft.
Mesa Mayor Scott Smith, who formed a committee made up of community and business leaders to bridge a widening fissure between the airport and its neighbors, recently began taking into consideration recommendations for the airport made by the ad hoc committee.
The neighborhood group that submitted the petition, Keep Falcon Field Safe Committee, said of particular issue was a recommendation to change the public airport disclosure map, which is based on the enlarged noise contour map. They were concerned that the recommendation would give a flight training school based at the airport a license to fly farther over the surrounding neighborhood.
CAE/Sabena Flight Training Center at the airport - the world's largest flight school for foreign pilots - has been at the center of residents' safety and noise complaints since it moved to the site in 2008.
Nystrom said the noise contour map was directly related to the airport updating its public disclosure map, as well as an effort to stay within FAA guidelines.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said airport operators across the country develop noise contour maps using federal guidance.
"We recommend that airports update their noise maps every three to five years," Gregor said, adding that it was not a requirement. "The city is initiating changes to comply with FAA guidance."
Gregor said the FAA has ultimate authority in signing off on any changes.
Nystrom told city officials the noise contour map would be reviewed by the FAA in the coming months, and once approved the updated airport disclosure map would be filed with the Arizona Department of Real Estate.

Comments about Tour Master Quest Pants:
I got these pants yesterday and so far so good. They keep you warm when going down the highway but don't make you sweat when your just riding around town or stopped to refuel you and your bike. I got one size bigger to fit over my jeans and they fit great. Very comfortable,great fit,good protection in knees,hip padding and great price!!! I couldn't ask for anything more!!!!
No complaints
By BADJAG
from Bombay, India
I normally wear a size 34, so size L (34-36) would normally have been fine. However, I ordered one size up, probably to be safe, and partly due to my experience with Fieldsheer jackets (yes, I know this is an entirely different brand).I don't regret it though, because while size L would have been snug, size XL is great for me in terms of comfort. It's a wee bit loose, but that can be easily fixed with a belt, and is not annoying even without a belt. The position of the knee armour can be adjusted, so there are absolutely no problems with this size. The advantage of being a little loose is that taking a leak on the side of the road (one of the pleasures of being a man ;) is a hassle-free procedure.The pants feel comfortable enough that I forget I'm wearing them after a while on the bike. Protection against the elements seems good too, though I haven't yet been in any extreme conditions (hot, cold, or rainy) yet. I have no doubts this will stand up to the challenge though.The only minor complaint I have is that the pockets seem too shallow. All in all though, a decent buy.
good value
By speed3
from Pennsylvania
I live in Pennsylvania and wanted a warm, comfortable but reasonably priced pant for the winter. So far, this pant has been great. They run a little big...I am a 34 waist but the large was too big. Medium fits great but is a bit short in length. Overall, can't beat the price.
NOT Waterproof
By stromtrooper
from Undisclosed
I got these pants because they seemed like a bargain. When I got them I found:-Waist was waay to big. A belt is hard to use because there are only 4 loops and the belt falls off when not in use.-Pants were too short, exposing the backs of my calves when seated, even with normal boots. (I am a 33x32 and got the 34)-Thigh armor binds when seated.-First ride in the rain and I have a wet crotch. Nice.In summary, if you are short, fat, stand alot when you ride and live in the desert, these pants are for you. If not, there are better choices out there.

Frat boys and wannabe casual families?reaching out to those in its target base quite well, in my opinion
.......... I made a giant topic talking down at all 3 main consoles' menus because of how unhelpful any of them were.
.......... the huge topic that wouldn't post because these damn computers are so goddamn stupid.
.......... for the 360, I hated how wannabe casual they try to be. You can't casual a 360. You can only casual the Band/Hero games... and those are found on all the systems.
I like the RPGs and a few FPSes here and there on the 360, I just wish they'd honestly stop trying to be "lol~! Family fun!"...
goddamn wannabe avatars...... they're cute, but not fun-inducing like they're trying to advertise to be.

Buoyant RCB to meet rising Sun Risers
Sun Risers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bangalore 8PM
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad
The erstwhile Deccan Chargers bowed out of IPL 5 as party poopers, derailing the campaigns of Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers Bangalore on their way out. Their replacements the Sun Risers Hyderabad began IPL 6 with a victory in a similar mould.
A bowling effort built around Dale Steyn's tight initial burst and the pressure built in the anticipation of his second spell helped the team defend a small total in their opening game of the 2013 season against Pune Warriors India.
Alongside Steyn, Sun Risers also had encouraging performances from Ishant Sharma and Aashish Reddy to go with Amit Mishra's able legspin in their win against Pune. It helped that a power packed Pune line up was stymied by Uthappa and Pandey's sluggishness at the top. There will be no such respite from RCB with Chris Gayle and Tillakaratne Dilshan at the top. The latter especially will want to replicate his recent international success in the IPL after a terrible first game against Mumbai.
Virat Kohli will want to make amends for his own set up dismissal. Mayank Agarwal and Karun Nair too will get more chances. Daniel Christian provided crucial support to Chris Gayle with the bat but conceded too many runs while bowling and might lose his spot to fellow Aussie all-rounder Moises Henriques.
Henriques will be a like for like replacement for Christian in the bowling attack which largely redeemed itself. Unadkat was disciplined and finished with a wonderful penultimate over. Vinay Kumar made for early erratic bowling with a last over that did the job.
Sun Risers too had a batting line up that underperformed against Pune but will be more confident after looking at their bowling unit's prowess. If the track hints at help for the slower bowlers then RCB could go in for Daniel Vettori to replace Christian. In the case of a track like the one seen in Hyderabad's game against Pune, Murali Kartik could make way for another Indian seamer, probably RP Singh or Zaheer if he's fit for the game.
RCB's record at the stadium has not been impressive but this is a new Hyderabad they face on Sunday. They will be ready to write a new chapter.

'I would like to black those days out — does that tell you how bad they were?" says Carl Schanstra, owner of a small Illinois parts-assembly firm. During the recession, his sales dropped by around 50 percent, and Schanstra was forced to take a calculated risk: He downsized considerably, reworked his business strategy, and invested his life savings to tide the manufacturing company through the hard times.
"We laid off 20 people in one day," Schanstra tells National Review Online. "That day sucked. We got rid of some of the high-level management that was not functioning correctly, as well as our low-level people. We cut and cut and cut. And as the owner of the company, I went without a paycheck for over three months, several times throughout that period. You get to compound on that company's traumatic experiences, and then add that you don't have any personal income as well."
But the company now faces a new problem because of the Obama health law. Automation Systems Inc. has expanded to include 37 employees today, and Schanstra says he wants to hire more — maybe as many as 200 or 300 in the next 10 to 15 years. But once the business crosses the 50-employee threshold, it will have to pay $40,000 in penalties, plus $2,000 for each additional employee. That's because of the so-called employer mandate, a fee imposed on businesses that get too big without providing health care the federal government deems acceptable.
"The government has made it clear with the health-care law that the incentive is to have companies under 25 people, where we can get tax breaks," Schanstra says. "The mid-range companies with the labor of 25 to 60 people — those companies are going to be impacted by this dramatically."
Between 2007 and 2010, the U.S. lost 27,409 manufacturing firms, according to data from the Census Bureau, most of the losses presumably occurring during the recession. At its low point in June 2009, American manufacturing production was down about 21 percent from what it had been in December 2007. The manufacturing sector became a symbol for everything that had gone wrong: Why can't the U.S. make things like it used to? Is the U.S. losing its global edge? Factory jobs were America's hottest export, as the story went, and furrowed faces personified the trend.
President Obama took up the cause, setting a goal to double U.S. exports by 2015 and to create a million new American manufacturing jobs in the process. Early in the stimulus, politicians on the left pushed for federal aid and Buy America clauses. Most neglected to mention, of course, the regulatory burden and union wrangling that have made these companies less competitive than their global counterparts.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Did you know that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime according to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and breast cancer is second only to lung cancer in cancer deaths among women in the U.S.?
And guys aren't off the hook either. This year, nearly 2,000 men will also be diagnosed, according to Pink Jams.
That sucks more than dead puppies and being married to Kris Humphries.
While wearing pink has always a sign of showing support for women with breast cancer, sipping pink is, too. Let's raise a glass as well as awareness for early detection and education programs for breast cancer.
Vinoteca has a special rose flight ($13) featuring three "pink" wines: Anne amie "Midnight Saignee" Pinot Noir; Le Chaz, a Grenache Cinsault blend from Languedoc; Domaine de la Courtade "L'Alycastre" from Côtes de Provence.
Never underestimate a Cosmopolitan done well, and The Hamilton uses Tito's Vodka, fresh lime juice, triple sec, a lime twist, cranberry coulis, in a martini glass served up.
Protein Bar's The Red Line smoothie is a creamy pink with vanilla protein, milk, fresh strawberries, banana and only a modest 264 calories.
We love drinking our salads, and the Oasis at Art and Soul (pictured) has huge chunks of watermelon, Vida Mescal, a whole lime, simple syrup, and fresh mint.
Food, Wine & Co. makes a spicy and fun G6 ($10) with Tanqueray Rangpur, muddled cinnamon, mint, pink grapefruit juice and a splash of soda. Garnished with a lime wheel.
Bar Pilar has a seasonal Gin & Tonic ($10) with housemade rhubarb!
Johnny's Half Shell's Climate Change ($5) is simple yet very tasty with fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice, vodka and a splash of cranberry juice. Garnished with a thin slice of grapefruit.
The Fairmont Hotel is getting all decked out with pink flowers, a pink-lit courtyard garden and pink-clad staff serving–how'd you guess? Pink cocktails like the Pink Berry Mojito with rum, simple syrup, muddled, fresh raspberries, limes and courtyard mint. ($12)
Sandia has an equally fresh, fruity margarita ($9) with tequila, citrus and fresh watermelon on the rocks.
Oyamel has the rosy Ambrosia with Siembra Azul Blanco, Aperol, lemon, grapes, basil and "Pink" champagne ice.
Central's Blueberry Smash ($12) goes from blue to pink with fresh, muddled blueberries, blueberry vodka, lemon juice, and a lightly sparkling wine. It's full of cancer-fighting antioxidants, really.
The Park Hyatt Washington serves a Pamela's Punch that blushes with Prairie Vodka, Chambord, St. Germain, pomegranate and pineapple juices and ginger beer.

Many celebrities have unlikely hobbies, like our beloved Johnny, who collects a lot of Barbies.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star has a collection of limited edition BARBIES – yes, you read that right.
He has also got dolls based on Beyoncé and Destiny's Child, the High School Musical cast and even a Lindsay Lohan figure with an ankle tag.
The actor also likes playing with the dolls, previously admitting: "I've played with a lot of Barbies and Kens for my kids. It's actually one of the things I'm good at."
May 17 jeniffer says:
queee lindooooo es jugar con los hijos!!!:D JOHNNY DEPP UN GRAN PADREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
May 17 isis says:
That's a really nice collection Johnny. My sister also collects Barbies and has done so for years. They are very beautiful dolls. A worthwhile hobby.
May 18 caroline says:
something seems fotoshopped, like his face on the bod, but nevermind. i have some hobbies myself and i just got more sympathy for our hero Johnny depp do what you love nomather what
May 20 Marisa says:
Only a man who knows how to appreciate the beauty of women could collect BARBIES. I hope, however, some women can appreciate the heart.
May 21 Vicki says:
Somehow it just doesn't fit with his photo of a cigar-like cigarette between his lips in the picture at the top of the page.
But I have Asthma and I'm a Paramedic, two reasons that come together in a galvanizing way when forming my opinions of cigarette and/or cigar smoke.If he knew that the left lung provides a direct pathway into the right side of the heart through the pulmonary vein, I wonder what he'd think of smoking then, but I won't harp on it.
My main point is that the two images – Johnny w/ Barbies & Johnny w/ a cigarette – don't mix well.
That's all I'm saying. -

Robin Parrish is the author of four published novels to date with more on the horizon. His latest, Offworld, is a riveting science fiction thriller. You can read my review here. Recently Robin was kind enough to answer a few of my questions about his work.
Your books read almost like movies, with a lot of action and little filler. Do you envision your stories cinematically when you write them?
Definitely. I'm very visual, and heavily influenced by TV and film, so thinking of stories as if they're unfolding on a screen is something that comes very naturally to me. There are times when I've even attempted to insert filmmaking techniques into my prose.
(Small spoiler alert.) There's a scene in Offworld where one character smashes a big rock that has significant emotional meaning to that character, and I saw it in my head like a moment where the scene slows down to slow motion, with the bits and pieces of the broken rock sort of hanging in mid-air. And I described it that way in the text, suggesting that this was how the character was seeing it, as an accentuation of the emotions he was feeling in that moment.
Your books are classified as Christian Fiction and have a distinctly sci-fi/fantasy feel to them. Science Fiction in the Christian market is somewhat rare, are you deliberately trying to write in this niche? In other words, are you a writer of Christian Science Fiction or a Christian writer of Science Fiction ?
I'm just a storyteller. I write the stories that God sees fit to send my way, whatever they may be. My worldview as a Christian will always inform my writing -- you won't find any glorification of evil, or any sex or foul language in anything I write -- but I don't shoehorn in a heavy-handed message or agenda just to suit a particular demographic. You will find lots of themes revolving around redemption, sacrifice, and other eternal values.
As far as the exact genre I write... I'm considered a "suspense/thriller" writer, but my stories are always mashups of lots of different genres. The Dominion Trilogy was predominantly a fantasy, while Offworld is written in the language of serious science fiction. I like lots of different genres, so don't be surprised if I jump around from one to another a lot. But you'll always find lots of epic, fast-paced, exciting, suspenseful thrills in everything I do.
The best way I can think of to describe my books is to say that I write stories about ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances.
Do you hate labels?
As anyone who follows my Twitter feed knows... There are days... :)
Often books change drastically in the writing, did any of your books start out as something completely different?
No, my original outlines are always how the stories unfold in the end, but the details and characters grow and adapt and change in the process. On the other hand, I've got ideas that go back to my formative years, so if any of those ever end up getting used, I'm sure they'll appear in drastically different forms than how I first envisioned them. So I guess we'll see, on that one.
About your latest book, Offworld, where did you get the idea for the story and will you be writing more books in that subtly futuristic vein?
The idea was just a flash of inspiration, as it often is. My brain kind of exists in its own little world, and always seems to be looking for ideas by seeing everyday scenarios and twisting them into something unusual. I don't really remember where I was or what I was doing when this one came to me, but I remember distinctly having the visual of a spaceship that's been away from Earth for a while that comes home, pops open the cockpit, and steps out onto terra firma to find that the entire population of the planet has vanished into thin air. Which naturally led to questions of how this could have happened. The story was built organically from that starting point.
I don't have any other story ideas at the moment that are "subtly futuristic," but I do have other science fiction ideas. Nothing I'll be doing right away, though. The artist in me desperately wants to avoid being pigeonholed, so I'll be going from genre to genre for a while.
There is an actual Ares spacecraft under development at NASA though it's configuration is different than the one in the novel. Is the spacecraft in the book based on an actual design?
No. I'm really glad you asked about this, because I knew someone out there would realize the names were the same! My Ares actually pre-dates NASA's by several years. It wasn't until I was waaaaay into the process of creating the story and the world and the characters that NASA announced its own Ares rocket. NASA's Ares is the booster rocket that will launch its crew to Mars. Mine is the actual vessel they ride in for the entire journey. I decided to keep mine, even though it didn't resemble the real one, because I got there on my own and I liked it better.
How much time did you spend researching for Offworld before you started writing?
Months, off and on. I always research any real-world locations I use, and this one has tons of them. Geography, roads, buildings, all of that stuff has to be accurate. I also did tons of research on Mars, lots of different futurists' ideas on what human exploration of Mars will be like, and the culture of NASA. I wanted to be especially sure that my characters came across as realistic astronauts.
I saw one reviewer that argued that these characters don't always behave with the proper decorum for NASA astronauts, but don't forget that they're facing an impossible, end-of-the-world scenario that carries with it the intense psychological trauma of isolation -- a desperate kind of isolation like none of us will ever know.
Can you talk about anything you have coming up on the horizon?
My next novel is called Nightmare, and it deals with an aspect of the supernatural that no Christian novel has ever approached. It may be the most suspenseful and intense thing I've ever written, and it's going to be a really wild ride. Definitely going to raise some eyebrows, methinks.
Got some nonfiction ideas in the can that are being shopped around as we speak, and I'm also working on a young adult fantasy series that I'm crazy excited about. Still in the very early stages of development. We'll be shopping it around to publishers soon. Probably shouldn't say anything more about it until we get the thing sold, but if it happens... man oh man, is it going to be cool.
What authors inspired you most?
Peretti and Dekker, of course. James Byron Huggins. Tolkien and Lewis. Michael Crichton. JK Rowling is a storytelling genius, and I wish I had a tenth of her talent. Don't excommunicate me for this one, but I love Dan Brown's writing style. He's brilliant at making everything -- even the most mundane things -- boil over with nail-biting tension. I don't agree with his worldview or beliefs, but his writing technique is a superb study in suspense.
Outside of publishing, I have a lot of influences in television and film. I love Joss Whedon, JJ Abrams, Ronald Moore, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse (the masterminds behind Lost), J. Michael Straczynski, and plenty of others. I love the films of M. Night Shyamalan, Alex Proyas, Christopher Nolan, Peter Jackson, Spielberg, the Bourne movies, tons of others. I still have a soft spot for the first Matrix movie.
What science fiction authors inspired you most?
Michael Crichton, again. Timothy Zahn. Mary Shelley. Neil Gaiman.
What authors are you currently reading?
I'm spending too much time writing these days to have much time for reading.
Any advice for aspiring authors?
Don't keep tweaking your masterpiece forever -- take a leap of faith and send it off to some publishers, already. If you don't take the initiative to get them published, nobody's going to come beating down your door to make it happen. No one will ever care more about your stories than you do!

Gossip Guy
Hosting is hungry work — just ask Ed Westwick (at right). Insider caught up with the "Gossip Girl" star and face of K-Swiss' "Classic Remastered" ad campaign at the after-party celebrating the shoe launch at New York's Bloomingdale's. Apologizing in between hors d'oeuvres — "I haven't had a chance to eat today," he said — Westwick told Insider that K-Swiss had values he admired. "They know who they are," he said, adding that he would love to do another installment of the black-and-white campaign he shot last fall. But on to more important things: Is there a place for K-Swiss in the wardrobe of Chuck Bass, his ultra-dandified "Gossip Girl" alter ego? "Absolutely," he said, without hesitating. "I see him wearing them on the basketball court." Nearby, DJ Josh Madden (who also runs DCMA Collective with his brothers Joel and Benji of Good Charlotte) gave Insider some advice for keeping a party moving. "If you want to be a good DJ, all you have to do is worry about making the ladies dance," he said. Also feeling the beat was David Nichols, EVP of K-Swiss, who hinted that news would be forthcoming about the new California Youth action-sports label, which is a major facet of the Westlake, Calif.-based company's turnaround plan.
