Customer relationship management (CRM) is often one of the most unheralded business processes across the buy side, in the sense that it tends not to play a direct role in the money-management process. But in today's industry, where it is important to know your clients well and provide outstanding levels of service, tailored to their specific needs, CRM plays a hugely important role. Norwell, Massachusetts-based Satuit Technologies, founded in 1994 by a number of investment industry veterans, wins this year's best buy-side CRM product category thanks to its SatuitCRM platform, a product designed by asset management professionals for asset management professionals, supporting five primary processes: compliance, sales and marketing, consultant relations, client retention, and client communications.
SatuitCRM is designed to provide the generic functionality offered by all CRM platforms, but with substantial additional functionality focused on buy-side firms' specific needs. It excels in the areas of new business, client on-boarding, client retention, and up-selling, with typical implementations for new users averaging less than 90 days.
The foundation of the Satuit "many-to-many" data model was specifically designed to manage the complex relationships that investment professional address daily. A buy-side firm may manage one or more products for multiple plans at a single client. They often deal with many contacts, some of whom are third-party influencers or service providers to their clients. They have the added challenge of sorting out complicated reporting requirements at both the relationship and individual account level. SatuitCRM handles all these tasks with the minimum of fuss.
From a technical perspective, SatuitCRM is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) product, built on Microsoft's .Net framework. Satuit's most recent upgrade offers users a flexible interface to enter, search, filter and report on data with a few clicks, while maintaining an intuitive user interface. Satuit's application program interface (API) supports integration with back-office portfolio accounting, e-marketing and Telephony Application Program Interface (TAPI) software. Additionally, Satuit provides a number of plug-ins for key industry back office and data vendors.
But perhaps the most telling endorsement of the value Satuit offers through its service and technology is its client-retention rate. It is therefore hardly surprising that Satuit, with over 300 clients and an astonishing client-retention rate of 97 percent, scored so highly in this area. —VBA

Journal Publishes Dr. Koop's Personal Account of the AIDS Controversy
Paper Gives Details of One of the Most Significant Public Health Battles in History
WASHINGTON, March 31, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The nation's war against AIDS began 30 years ago with a report that five gay men in Los Angeles were dying from Pneumocystis Carinii pneumonia, a disease so rare that a handful of cases in a single year is like an epidemic. Now, former Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop — the official who witnessed these early deaths and charted the nation's policies on HIV/AIDS — is making public his personal account of what took place in the early days of AIDS, naming names and providing the behind-the-scenes details of one of the most significant public health battles in the country's history.
Published in the March 31 issue of The Annals of the Forum for Collaborative HIV Research, Dr. Koop's paper — The Early Days of AIDS, As I Remember Them – is based on what the former Surgeon General described as his "last major address" on HIV/AIDS, which was presented in Washington on November 18, 2010, before 350 HIV researchers, health care providers, policymakers and advocates attending the 2010 National Summit on HIV Diagnosis, Prevention and Access to Care. With a foreword from Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Koop's personal account chronicles the very real challenges facing the public health community at the beginning of the AIDS crisis and presents a candid assessment of how a small number of cases mushroomed into the AIDS epidemic of the late 1980s.
The Annals of the Forum for Collaborative HIV Research is a peer-reviewed journal published by the Forum for Collaborative HIV Research that disseminates consensus reports and proceedings, recommendations and opinions addressing current topics in HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care. Dr. Koop's paper is available online at http://hivforumannals.org/index.php/annals/article/view/86/pdf_5
"This is a story that has begged to be told," said Veronica Miller, Ph.D., Director of the Forum for Collaborative HIV Research, which also hosts the biannual HIV summits. "We will only be successful in overcoming today's challenges in fighting HIV/AIDS by heeding Dr. Koop's frank message that we not forget that the epidemic is still here and is growing insidiously."
Providing lessons learned from the past, Dr. Koop's paper chronicles the developments and controversies that marked the early AIDS crisis from 1981 to 1989, which he refers to as two "phases of America and AIDS." Starting with the "the first phase of America and AIDS" — from 1981 until the release of the Surgeon General's Report on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome in October 1986 — Dr. Koop describes a climate "marked by mystery, fear, suspicion, judgment and the unknown" when political leaders attempted to quarantine AIDS patients in San Francisco and New York City and to deny these individuals housing, employment and even access to public schools. "As a result, our first public health priority – that is, to stop further transmission of the AIDS virus – became needlessly mired in the homosexual politics of the early 1980s," Dr. Koop writes.
These same fears, Dr. Koop surmises, played a large role in the "intra-department politics" at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the decision to exclude him from the Reagan Administration's discussions, deliberations and public statements about AIDS for a five-year period (until 1986). As Dr. Koop described his isolation at the time, "I had to be content to learn about AIDS on my own, from the newspapers, internal documents of the Public Health Service, reports from CDC such as Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports, and discussions with colleagues. …I knew we were in big trouble. And there was nothing I could do about it."
In his foreword, Dr. Fauci, who was a young physician at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1981 and became Dr. Koop's personal physician at the time, discusses the stress Dr. Koop was under and the impact on his physical health. "After being nominated by President Regan to be the 13th Surgeon General of the United States, he (Dr. Koop) endured months of controversy and Senate hearings. This resulted in great personal distress: his (Dr. Koop's) blood pressure rose, he could not sleep, he was feeling terrible and could not figure out what was wrong with him. He was the greatest surgeon in the world at the time but this was not a surgical problem."
But even as Dr. Koop endured this long and stressful confirmation process, he realized that no one in public health or medicine had ever seen a syndrome like the AIDS virus before. He recounts: "I realized that if there ever were a disease made for the Surgeon General, it was AIDS."
After being kept on the sidelines for five years, Dr. Koop writes candidly about how he learned in 1985 that he would be asked to write the landmark Surgeon General's Report on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. President Reagan made an unprecedented visit to HHS after his longtime friend Rock Hudson died of the disease and during a speech to the HHS employees, the President announced he would ask the Surgeon General to prepare a special report on AIDS. "That was it," Dr. Koop states. "There was never any formal request from the White House. It's a good thing I was there (at the HHS meeting)…and paying attention!"
Once Dr. Koop was tasked with writing the AIDS report, he confronted another political challenge — the clearance process for reviewing public documents. "I assumed that the report was to be in simple language for the average citizen, that it was to allay the panic that was spreading among people who were in danger of getting AIDS, and to warn those engaged in high risk behavior what the inevitable outcome would be if they encountered the virus of AIDS. But I knew that the government clearance process could ruin any report I would write."
Dr. Koop's strategy was to go to the newly appointed HHS Secretary, Otis Bowen, whom Dr. Koop describes as a "true public servant," and ask for the authority to write the report himself. He says of this encounter: "Otis Bowen gave me the green light I needed. I selected two commissioned officers (in the Public Health Service) to help me. Their names were not revealed then or since."
Now authorized to write the report himself, Dr. Koop recounts how his work "amounted to walking a tightrope" because he felt it necessary to consult with all national groups concerned about AIDS while also distancing himself from these organizations so the report would be viewed as independent and objective. However, Dr. Koop credits the information he received from these meetings as eye opening. One such example he cites was a study commissioned by the National Hemophilia Foundation, which showed that AIDS could not be spread by nonsexual casual contact.
"This – and a number of other studies – meant that AIDS was not transmitted by casual contact. Therefore, most Americans were not at risk if they did not engage in high-risk behavior with sex and/or drugs," explains Dr. Koop. "This also meant that persons with AIDS should not suffer discrimination, that the strident calls to quarantine them or even deny them housing, insurance, employment or public schooling were wrong."
Dr. Koop recounts spending long hours in his house on the NIH campus writing the report at a stand-up desk in the basement. After reworking the document multiple times, Dr. Koop showed the 16th draft to Dr. Fauci, then Director of AIDS Research at NIH, as well as to the wives of several commissioned officers of the Public Health Service. But the real challenge for Dr. Koop was not drafting the report; it was getting final approval for the report from top Administration officials. This entailed presenting the report at two meetings of the President's Cabinet — the first with the Domestic Policy Council and the other involving the entire Cabinet and the President.
Recounting how he navigated these meetings, Dr. Koop writes, "In each meeting, I had to skate fast on thin ice to get by political appointees who placed conservative ideology above saving lives. Knowing the way the Domestic Policy Council worked, I could see them nit picking the report to pieces and soon we'd have a health report written by political advisors, if we ended up with any report at all."
According to Dr. Koop's paper, the Surgeon General recognized what he was up against and decided to take a "psychological gamble." Knowing that members of the Domestic Policy Council "did not like to spend money," he printed 1,000 copies of the report on expensive glossy paper with the Public Health Service seal embossed in shiny silver – even though he really intended to print the report as a brochure on inexpensive stock. "I figured that if the Domestic Policy Council were handed a pamphlet shrieking expensive paper and printing, they might be disinclined to make changes because of the cost of reprinting," he writes.
Dr. Koop then recounts how he handed out numbered copies of the report to the members of the Domestic Policy Council with the proviso that to keep the report from leaking to the press, he intended to collect all copies at the end of the meeting. Describing how this gamble paid off, Dr. Koop writes how he reviewed the report page-by-page, but in a rather superficial manner. "There was little discussion. There was not even a peep about the cost of the brochure! I knew it had not been absorbed in depth by anyone present."
Once the report had been cleared for publication, Dr. Koop's next battle came when he released the AIDS report on October 22, 1986, at a Washington press conference and mentioned the words "sex education." Here, he describes how "the political meddlers in the White House tried to bottle up the report" by suggesting that he "update" the report, which Dr. Koop inferred to mean leaving out the word "condom."
Dr. Koop refused this request but was still surprised by the reaction of political leaders on both sides of the aisle. "Suddenly, I found myself praised by my former liberal adversaries and condemned by my former conservative allies. Everybody, or at least those who didn't know me, said that I had changed," he writes.
But the real problem at the time, reports Dr. Koop, was the lack of support from the White House. As he states with great candor, "At least a dozen times I pled with my critics in the White Hose to set up a meeting between the President and me so he could hear my concerns about America and the AIDS epidemic."
Dr. Koop also speaks with great candor about the attempts by some members of Congress to require mandatory testing for AIDS, which in 1987, threatened the civil rights of those infected with the virus. Amid this controversy, Dr. Koop recounts a Cabinet meeting where the President had to decide between the advice offered by Dr. Koop and other health officials to offer testing on a voluntary and confidential basis or to require mandatory, widespread testing advocated by some members of the White House staff.
"At the Cabinet meeting, I was sitting in the second row, and unobtrusively, I pushed my chair back so I was slightly behind the two people seated on either side of me. That way, no one could see my face except the President," writes Dr. Koop. "Whenever the President had a question that I wanted to answer, or whenever a Cabinet member made a statement I wanted to reinforce or rebut, I raised my right index finger beside my nose and almost imperceptivity nodded toward the President. He acknowledged me on each occasion without anyone knowing I had really asked to speak. …" As described by Dr. Koop, President Reagan asked to hear from Dr. Koop on eight occasions and then agreed that testing would remain voluntary and confidential.
Dr. Koop calls his time in confronting the AIDS epidemic from 1986 to 1989 as the "second phase of America and AIDS," when "Americans sorted through the issues of testing, discrimination and civil rights, and in general, rejected bad laws and approved good ones, assuring people who did not practice high risk behavior that they were protected from the disease, and also, in general protecting the civil rights of those who contracted AIDS."
Now, the former Surgeon General has set his sights on the "third phase of America and AIDS" and a time when a formerly fatal disease has become a chronic condition and people with HIV can live a near normal life span. Despite the tremendous progress over the last 30 years, Dr. Koop states that the dual challenges of stigma and complacency remain significant obstacles to getting more people with HIV tested and linked into care. Accordingly, Dr. Koop is calling on today's public health leaders to be aggressive in confronting these challenges, which he states are as dangerous today as the irrational fear in the first days of the AIDS epidemic.
On a very personal note, however, Dr. Koop also admits wryly that given how much progress has been made in combating HIV/AIDS in this country over the past 30 years, "being burned in effigy doesn't hurt a bit."
About the Forum for Collaborative HIV Research
Now part of the University of California (UC), Berkeley School of Public Health and based in Washington, D.C., the Forum was founded in 1997 as the outgrowth of the Keystone Center's report "The Keystone National Policy Dialogue on Establishment of Studies to Optimize Medical Management of HIV Infection," which called for an ongoing collaboration among stakeholders to address emerging issues in HIV/AIDS and set the research strategy. Representing government, industry, patient advocates, healthcare providers, foundations and academia, the Forum is a public/private partnership that is guided by an Executive Committee that sets the research agenda. The Forum organizes roundtables and issues reports on a range of global HIV/AIDS issues, including treatment-related toxicities, immune-based therapies, health services research, co-infections, prevention, and the transference of research results into care. Forum recommendations have changed the ways that clinical trials are conducted, accelerated the delivery of new classes of drugs, heightened awareness of TB/HIV co-infection, and helped to spur national momentum toward universal testing for HIV. http://www.hivforum.org.

Two people jumped from a window to safety Tuesday morning after their home in East Bloomfield caught fire.
News10NBC is told the two people who lived at the home on Route 444 between Pond and Boughton Roads smelled smoke just before 5 a.m and called 911. We are told the smoke was so intense, they had to use wet towels as masks to breathe. Both residents ended up jumping to safety from a bathroom window. Neither were injured.
A firefighter who responded to the scene slipped and broke his leg. He was taken to F.F. Thompson Hospital for treatment.
Nine fire companies responded to the blaze. Officials tell us they had to bring water to the scene to fight the fire.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

So tired of livin' So tired of givin' Of fighting angels and demons, Of common sense and reasons. Takin' a toll Lost heart and soul. No turnin' back now, To tell the truth, don't know how. Searchin' the dark, For just a spark. One speck of hope, To outwit the hangman's rope. But alas this poor heart keeps beatin' no chance at retreatin' A coward's way out, Suicide leaves little doubt. Can't seem to win either way. Pickled in a jar ready to fillet. On display for all to see, Love, took a part of me. Can't possibly die, Its the Formaldehyde. Keeps it fresh toxic green. Pinned to a sleeve easily seen. Though the body departs, Love preserved in a jar of hearts.

Full tolerance and equality for gays? Not yet
Re: "Sports columnist Benjamin Hochman's defense of gays," Jan. 9 letter to the editor.
Letter-writer Matthew Hayes writes, "I will continue to hold no disrespect for gay people, as does most of society…I would like to go five minutes in 2015 without hearing that someone's homosexuality is reason for me to be in awe."
Most of society? Give me a break! When gay people enjoy universal equal rights in all 50 states – such as legal benefits from marriage, inheritance rights, Social Security death benefits, medical and end-of-life decision-making, workplace protections against being fired for simply being homosexual, same-sex insurance coverage, etc. – then and only then will we truly have a tolerant and respectful society.
Someone's sexuality is no reason to be in awe, but their braveness in coming out and living as an openly gay person in a country still full of bias and anti-gay laws is.

Penstemon pseudospectabilis
Desert Beard Tongue
PENSTEMONThere are some 250 species of penstemon. Most are native to the West, ranging from Canada into Mexico; some grow on the highest mountains, some in the desert, and others in forest glades, in foothills, on plains. A few are widely available, but most are sold only by specialists. Some of the perennials described here have woody-based stems, while others are herbaceous. Most species have narrowish, pointed leaves; those in basal foliage clump are larger, those on flower stems are smaller. Narrowly bell-shaped, lipped flowers (usually 3/4–1 1/2 in. long) are most commonly seen in bright reds and blues, but they also come in shades from soft pink through salmon and peach to deep rose, lilac, dark purple, white, and, rarely, yellow. Blossoms of some species attract hummingbirds.
Need fast drainage. Species in particular benefit from rock garden conditions. Usually short lived (3 or 4 years). Hybrids and selections tend to be easier to grow than wild species alongside regular garden plants; wild kinds may die quickly if given too-rich soil and too much water. In dry years or with restricted water, however, plants of wild species may thrive.
Penstemon pseudospectabilisNative to the mountains of Southern California and Arizona. Shrubby, upright plant grows to 2–4 ft. tall and 2 ft. wide. Large bluish green leaves with bases that clasp the stems. Rosy pink to purple flowers from spring into summer.

FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 2010: Omaha Beach to Saint-Lo, France
Robert J. DeMatio reached the Normandy coast in a Liberty ship built in Savannah, Georgia. My oldest brother, Greg, and I pull up to the Pointe du Hoc visitor center in a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V coupe built in Lansing, Michigan, about 140 miles south of Ogemaw County, where we were all born and raised. Famously, 225 U.S. Army Rangers scaled the imposing cliffs here at Pointe du Hoc, a windswept spit of land dividing Omaha and Utah Beaches, on D-Day. Suffering heavy casualties, they secured one of the first Allied toeholds on the Continent. On this sunny day sixty-six years later, as we stand on a concrete German bunker in the bomb-cratered field and gaze down to the narrow strip of beach below, we can hardly imagine the bravery it took for those Rangers to ascend.
Today, two days before the D-Day anniversary, the former battleground is swarming with activity. Walking toward us with medals blazing is British veteran Eddie Moore, who was in a support regiment for machine guns that landed on Omaha Beach a couple of days after RJD. "A storm kept us away for days," he recalled as several generations of his family proudly stood by. "We sailed up and down the Channel six or seven times."
We pile back into the CTS-V and follow our Vauxhall Insignia wagon support vehicle, driven by London-based photographer Martyn Goddard and the fourth member of our entourage, fellow Michigander Al Johnson, to the village of Vierville-sur-Mer, at Omaha Beach. A gregarious young Frenchman, Vincent Hautin, is stage-directing an Allied-camp reenactment. He's got privates digging foxholes, military-issue tents, and, of course, a small fleet of military vehicles. A former tour guide and now an employee of France's national park service, he rattles off historical data about the Normandy invasion in perfect English. He even knows the exact day in the summer of 1943 when his three-axle, twelve-man Dodge military truck was built at the Mound Road plant in Detroit. "There are still about 20,000 Jeeps in France," he tells us, "about five or six thousand GMCs, and at least that many Dodges."

Frozen Banana Truffles
This Recipe Is:
frozen bananas
1/2 teaspoon
2 teaspoons
alcohol free vanilla
2 tablespoons
4 teaspoons
agave nectar
1/3 cup
cocoa (topping)
1/2 cup
shredded coconut, chopped fine (topping)
1/2 cup
nuts, chopped fine (topping)
- Chop the bananas into chunks. Beat all ingredients (not the toppings) in the mixer until smooth and creamy. Start with 2 teaspoons of agave and add more to taste, it will depend on how ripe your bananas are.
- Separate the banana mixture into three containers and freeze until solid.
- Spread the toppings out on three separate plates. Remove one container of the banana mixture at a time from the freezer, and shape into balls using a melon baller or mini ice cream scoop. Roll around in one of the toppings to coat. Place in mini cups and return to the freezer. Repeat with the other two containers and other two toppings. It is important to work quickly so that the truffles will hold their shape. If they are too soft when you shape them into balls, they will slouch in the freezer.
- Freeze the truffles until they are firm again, and keep frozen until ready to serve.

"Glad I used a recipe this time because its totally worth it! I tasted the sauce before i added the eggs and it was pretty powerful but once you add everything together it tastes perfectly seasoned! I added celery, and celery seed instead of celery salt and it turned out perfect."
"This cake was incredibly moist and delicious. I added a cup or so of grated zucchini and 2tsp of cinnamon.I think since I added more ingredients it took the cake much longer to cook (at least 30 min more). I would make this again and everyone loved it! I didn't have buttermilk so I did the old trick to add 1tsp of lemon juice per cup of milk ..."
"This recipe was delicious and the best part about it, no need to make that annoying pie crust! I made this right before dinner and it was all baked and ready to eat afterwards. Although I must say mine came out more of a cobbler bc the crust stayed more on top but it was still a recipe I wouldn't pass up."
"I would have given this recipe a 5 star for taste and ease but I believe the servings should be listed as 2 instead of 1. Not only is there enough to share but way too many calories for one person."
"very moist and delicious!"

Dems: Romney is easier jobs target than Gingrich
WASHINGTON (AP) — Conventional wisdom, supported by polls, maintains that Mitt Romney would be a tougher opponent than would Newt Gingrich against President Barack Obama.
But one factor keeps Democrats from salivating over Gingrich's rise in the Republican presidential race: Romney may present a fatter target on jobs, the issue expected to dominate the 2012 contest.
Romney says his greatest asset is his understanding of business and job creation. Obama's team has compiled a thick file to rebut that claim, based mainly on Romney's time as head of the private equity firm Bain Capital in the 1980s and 1990s. Bain made hefty profits for Romney and other officials and investors. But hundreds of workers sometimes lost their jobs in the process.
The Obama camp has no comparable jobs "opposition research" on Gingrich.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bonnie!
Facts about Bonnie
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Husky Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Bonnie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This pet is being fostered in Knoxville TN. Our pets are listed in 10 different locations/states. To help us better serve you, please indicate your location in your inquiry.Our orphans are delivered to the northeast every Saturday via USDA certified transport and come fully vetted with health certificates. All adoptions are tax deductible and include transport fees.If you are interested in one of our orphans or learning more about our adoption process, please email us. email@example.com
Meet our beautiful orphan Bonnie, we estimate Bonnie to be 2 years old, she is full of life and very energetic, Bonnie loves her foster siblings. Bonnie needs a huge fenced in yard to run and play. She is very eager to please and catches on quickly to commands. Bonnie came into a local shelter in West TN with fly bitten ears which were bloody and painful. Bonnie is now all healed and ready for her new family. Bonnie is house trained, loves to go for walks, she needs a family that is energetic.
Other Pets at Southern ROOTS Rescue Inc. - NH Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bonnie, a Manchester Labrador Retriever/Husky dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Husky for sale in Manchester, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Husky dog from a breeder in Manchester.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Manchester already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Manchester breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Husky breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Husky rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Manchester paves the way for another one to be saved.

12 What I'm getting at, friends, is that you should simply keep on doing what you've done from the beginning. When I was living among you, you lived in responsive obedience. Now that I'm separated from you, keep it up. Better yet, redouble your efforts. Be energetic in your life of salvation, reverent and sensitive before God. | 12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, |

Virtualizing and Scheduling Optical Network Infrastructure for Emerging IT Services
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Emerging IT services providers which aim at delivering supercomputing power available to the masses over the Internet, rely on high performance IT resources interconnected with ultra-high performance optical networks. To adjust the provisioning of the resources to end-user demand variations, new infrastructure capabilities have to be supported. These capabilities have to take into account the business requirements of telecom networks. This paper proposes a service framework to offer Internet service providers a dynamic access to extensible virtual private execution infrastructures, through on-demand and in-advance bandwidth and resource reservation services. This virtual infrastructure service concept is being studied in the CARRIOCAS project and implemented thanks to the SRV component.

Try coleus to freshen containers and add color to beds
Coleus is an easy to grow shade loving annual which can take some sun, especially in the morning.
It's tough enough to live just about anywhere.
The color palette is wide with solids and lots of interesting variegations.
I use the plant this time of the year to freshen containers which were planted in early spring. Usually they are filled with pansies which have started to fade in the summer heat. I like to use euphorbia 'Diamond Frost' to compliment the coleus.
The plant is also a great one to fill holes inthe garden where nothing is blooming. Coleus planted in three or four drifts of five plants though a bed add instant color.
Flats of annuals start to go on sale this time of the year, it's a great way to try some things which will make you stretch as a gardener. Different color combinations of the coleus and different leaf shapes.
Even though the plant is grown for its foliage, the flowers are pretty too. Many gardeners pinch the flowers out to get the plants to branch. I leave them on, the hummingbirds love them and so do I.
Coleus loves warm weather and needs water to thrive.
If you need some quick color, try coleus, the plants will thrive until frost.

Global warming: Is state doing enough to protect timber from invading beetle?
These bad boys and girls are one-ninth-of-an-inch long. Bullet shaped. Reddish brown. Five points sticking out of each hard wing cover, dubbed "spines."
These are tree-chomping beetles whose name sounds like a really far-out-there punk rock band: California Fivespined Ips.
Their larvae kill clumps of pine trees in California, Oregon and Washington's mountainside forests. And this year, the California Fivespined Ips beetles have gotten worse. Aerial surveys show about 2,800 trees across 650 acres of ponderosa pines killed by the beetles along the Columbia River Gorge, as well as along the eastern slopes of Washington's southern Cascades, according to Todd Murray, Washington State University Extension Service director for Klickitat and Skamania counties. By last year, the beetles had been spotted in small clumps as far north as Goldendale and Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
The problem is that, if unchecked, the California Fivespined Ips and other beetle species have the potential to kill 2.7 million acres — a quarter of Washington's forests — in 15 years, said JT Austin, senior policy advisor on natural resources issues to Gov. Jay Inslee. Other beetle species — such as western pine beetles and red turpentine beetles — have gain footholds in the past. The California Fivespined Ips beetles first showed up in Washington in 2010, bringing with them the potential to make beetle infestations of state's forests much more widespread.
Inslee visited southern Washington on Wednesday to explore the problem. He and Austin linked the beetles' recent surge to Washington's climate warming due to increased carbon pollution, arguing that more money is needed to keep these beetles from ravaging Washington's timberlands in the long run.
Last year, Inslee asked the Legislature to appropriate $20 million for anti-beetle measures, but the tight overall state capital budget ultimately trimmed that to $4 million.
"We're way behind the curve on having the funds to do it. .... The state is going to have to have revenue to support this," Inslee told about 35 Klickitat and Skamania county elected officials, government administrators, tribal leaders and business representatives Wednesday in Bingen, on the Columbia.
For the past two years, Republicans and Democrats have deadlocked in Olympia on whether tax breaks should be closed and taxes should be increased on huge transportation and education obligations that amount to several billion dollars. As a result, other smaller programs — such as fighting beetles — operate with extremely tight appropriations. The federal government recently appropriated $300,000 to Washington to handle outreach programs on the beetle-infestation problem.
Inslee voiced optimism about getting extra money from the Legislature, saying that saving timberlands from beetles has bipartisan support.
As he and Austin explain it, the climate change aspect works like this. Carbon pollution leads to warmer, often drier weather. And, while cold winters kill more beetles, beetles are more likely to survive warmer winters. Meanwhile, the state's droughts and a deluge of timber fires create more stress on trees, weakening them. And warmer weather makes those droughts and fires more likely.
The state has plans in place to thin out densely-packed forested areas to reduce the stress on the remaining trees, and to make it harder for adult beetles and fires to spread. Beetle repellents can also be used more. But the money is not there to implement the plans.
California Fivespined Ips and other beetle species emerge from trees as adults in the spring to seek out nearby weaker trees or fallen branches to colonize. The males bore holes into the bark, and then the trees and males emit scents to attract an average of three females to a borehole, where everyone mates. Then each of the impregnated females digs her own offshoot tunnel to lay eggs. Then larvae hatch out of the eggs to eat the tree's tissue beneath the bark. The larvae mostly attack tissue up to a one inch beneath the bark.

Considering that temperatures in the United States has actually been in a cooling trend for several decades once you adjust for the urban heat island effect, one thing that you can't blame for the beetle infestations is "global warming."
This is an issue of the suppression of logging, and of fire, in the national forests.
Posted Tue, Sep 2, 11:09 a.m.
As usual you are dead wrong. An actual summary of the data shows a distinct warming trend in the northwest. But we expect nothing less from you.
Posted Sun, Aug 31, 5:58 a.m.
Remember, Seattle liberals and greens don't support the tree-cutting industry. After all, they don't live in wood houses.
Posted Tue, Sep 2, 6:26 p.m.
This has little to do with "the tree cutting industry". There are many more uses for forests than timber. Wildlife habitat, carbon dioxide reprocessing, moisture retention and wood products are all economic benefits provided by a healthy forest.
While there are some areas of replanted forest which have not been properly thinned, it doesn't take a PhD in Forestry to realize that these forests existed and prospered for 14,000 years since the end of the ice age without "proper forestry practices". So if trees in uncut forests are dying from infestation by a beetle which in days past was not here, then something exogenous has changed.
The obvious candidate is warmer winters caused by AGW.

Denver Judge Blackburn's decision to declare the Stolen Valor Act of 2005 unconstitutional is a slap in the face to every veteran. The Pueblo County Veterans' Counsel on behalf of all veterans have started a write in campaign demanding that this decision be overturned on appeal. Pueblo is known as the "Home of the Heroes" with four Medal of Honor Recepients so we take this Judge's decision personally. Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. By signing this petition we can let the Judge know the error in his judgement.

But the shape doesn't just entice the eye. It acts as a giant wing that directs air to control body roll. Four aero flaps located on each corner work cohesively with the active suspension to maximize downforce and minimize drag over any road surface at any speed. The Huayra's ECU and ABS controller send data such as speed, yaw rate, steering angle, lateral acceleration, and throttle input to the flaps' unique ECU, which, in turn, changes their angles.
To better understand the complex setup, Pagani gives an example of a Huayra under hard braking: The rear flaps and front suspension rise, negating the weight transfer to the nose and improving the car's balance and brake usage. The whole process is accomplished in milliseconds.
You'll notice no wings on the Huayra. For a cleaner look, designers implemented more active aero flaps at the rear that are also highly effective at controlling wind. In the nose, the twin radiators are angled to aid downforce while feeding gobs of cool air to the intercoolers.
Keeping the Huayra planted also meant tapping Pagani's longtime pals at Pirelli and Oehlins. Pirelli's crew developed a custom P Zero tire capable travelling at speeds of up to 230 mph that can also withstanding lateral forces of more than 1.5 g. Oehlins' highly responsive adjustable push-rod dampers were bolted to forged aluminum control arms to shed further pounds.
Every inlet and outlet on the bodywork cools critical components or relieves air pressure. Side inlets chill brakes and hubs but can also warm them in cold climates. Outlets behind the front wheels extract pocketed air and hunker the car down ever farther. Two negative pressure zones sculpted into the sealed underbody and a diffuser direct air out from the Huayra's backend.
In the middle of all the state-of-the-art aerodynamics sits a carbon-titanium monocoque fit for two passengers. According to Pagani engineers, carbon-titanium is stronger and lighter than traditional carbon fiber. (And it likely costs a lot more dough.) The team then constructed the gull-wing doors to be as stiff as possible. Behind the driver sits a 22.5-gallon fuel tank encapsulated by featherweight reinforced composites and ballistic materials. Every component meets European and American safety regulations and was put through supercar-specific crashes (meaning done at very high speeds), Pagani says.

The Boy With Tape On His Face More Tape
Review by Mika Tsoi
Have you ever wondered what a clown would look like without makeup? Not nightmare fuel, but a boy with tape on his face. Audience participation looked a genuine prospect for everyone in the theatre when the boy went to the back row to pick his first newly enthusiastic participant. Once the music from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly started for duel with staplers to pop the balloon between the other's legs, I was sold. An hour of joy and delight taken to the next level at the finale. Get your ducats and see this show.

Hi, I have laptop with system (199mb), windows, recovery and tools, so the 4 primary are taken.
I created another partition in unallocated space, and it converted the disk and all partitions dynamic. If I image the windows partition with macrium, convert the disk back to basic, and restore the image, will it work 100% as if it was imaged on a basic disk, or does the fact it was imaged on a dynamic partition change anything in the image? Also, can I just move all the folders and files from the system partition to the windows partition, and just run a start-up repair in macrium or paragon, and it will make the windows partition active and bootable? Thanks. |

Ok, I did it, and it seems to be working.
But I have a annoying thing pop up, every time windows is started, 2 desktop.ini windows open up in notepad. I deleted them, can I just copy the original desktop.ini from the image back? Also, it seems every desktop.ini on the windows system has become unhidden, and they show in every folder. How can I change them back to system hidden files all at once??? Thanks! |

Hello nevesswodniw,
You could use step 5 in OPTION ONE of the tutorial below to set hidden files to no longer show. Hidden Files and Folders - Show or Hide |
My System Specs |
10 Feb 2013 | #5 |
Hi Brink,
The problem is they have all become visible, as in, every desktop.ini files' attribute in every folder has changed to visible...so even if show hidden files is unchecked, they still show. Is there a way to get windows to batch fix every one of them back to system hidden attribute, or should I just search for every desktop.ini and delete them, and they will be re-created? Also another problem that has appeared, is under "my computer" there is a drive icon ( with an assigned drive letter) that doesn't really exist. Its not a partition I created, it's not listed in disk management, and if I click it, it doesn't open, just says access denied. Although it is under shares $. How can I delete this from under my computer and as a share? Thanks again. |
My System Specs |
10 Feb 2013 | #6 |
No. You don't want to go and delete them all. It wouldn't solve the issue, and they would just be recreated as needed.
If you have a restore point dated before these issues happened, then you could do a system restore using it to hopefully fix all of this. |
My System Specs |
11 Feb 2013 | #7 |
Unfortunately there is no restore point, it was turned on afterwards.
Isn't that what I want, that is, to recreate them all as needed, with the proper attribute of a system hidden file, so deleting them all would be a good thing wouldn't it? Otherwise, what else can I do? go and change the attributes of each desktop.ini inevery folder, one by one... Also, any ideas on the drive icon? thanks again. |
My System Specs |
11 Feb 2013 | #8 |
They would just be recreated unhidden again.
If you like, you could use the tutorial below to be able to quickly hide these files as you come across from the context menu to make it easier and faster. It doesn't set the "system" attribute (protected OS file) for them, but only the normal "hide" attribute. File and Folder - Add "Hide" and "Unhide" to Context Menu |
My System Specs |
11 Feb 2013 | #9 |
OK, if that's the only way, I guess I'll just have to set them one by one.
But if the default is for windows to create a desktop.ini file with the system attribute, why would it re-create them unhidden? BTW, what would have caused all of them to be set as unhidden in the first place? |

Rider sweeps bi-district series
Lady Raiders whip Plainview 12-2 in Game 2
ABILENE — Rider's performance in Game 2 on Saturday afternoon against Plainview mirrored Ashley Sissel's fourth-inning homer.
The outcomes were a little questionable early, but in the end, there was no doubt after the decisiveness of both.
The Lady Raiders spotted Plainview two first-inning runs, but they settled down and pulled away in the Region I-4A bi-district series for a 12-2 victory.
Sissel's two-run homer in the fourth inning broke the game open, giving Rider (27-5-1) a 5-2 advantage. Initially, she thought her shot to right-center field was an out.
"I thought it was going to be a high pop fly because I saw the girl running and she looked like she could catch it," Sissel said. "I didn't see the ball, and she wasn't running very hard. Whenever it went over, I was like, 'Yes.'"
It was smooth sailing after that for the Lady Raiders, who scored nine runs in the last three innings after totaling five in the series' first 10 innings.
Rider will face either El Paso Andress or El Paso Riverside next weekend in Midland in the area round.
"It just took us a little time to get adjusted to the speed of pitching," Rider coach Alisha Crouch said. "It's a little slower than we're used to seeing, so it took a little adjustment. Once we got around again, the girls got their timing down and were hitting the ball well."
Sissel said she made adjustments after Plainview had four hits off her in the first frame, keeping the ball down. The Lady Bulldogs (19-15) managed three hits the rest of the way as Sissel improved to 12-2.
Abby Donnell led Rider with a 4-for-5 performance that included four runs scored, a double and a triple.
Morgan Beeman went 3-for-3 with a two-run single in the fourth that pushed Rider's lead to 7-2. Sissel and No. 9 hitter Amanda Romero added two hits each as part of a 15-hit attack.
Karly Gibson also delivered a key two-run single in the third inning that gave Rider its first lead.
"It's what we're more capable of doing at the plate," Crouch said. "Everybody hit the ball much better this game."
Note: Denton Ryan, the second-place team from 4-4A, defeated Canyon 5-0 and 6-1 at Midwestern State University.

2011 brought many good things. The new iPhone. "Watch the Throne." The sudden, increased appreciation for Ryan Gosling.
But there was a lot of bad too, especially in the world of fashion, where it suddenly became acceptable to go outside without your pants. To paraphrase Tina Fey's Liz Lemon, what, may we ask, the what?
No Pants
Madonna and Cher started it. Lady Gaga brought it back. Rihanna and Beyonce followed suit. And now, it seems like everyone including misguided Christina Aguilera over here thinks it's OK to eschew pants for tights, pantyhose, or sometimes, nothing at all. On stage, it's all good. When you're buying toothpaste, it's not.
Infants get to swaddle themselves in a single garment. They have limited mobility. We can't confront them with a button fly and expect anything but a blank stare and maybe a little drool. But as adults, we can conquer clothing closures! We don't have to completely disrobe to use the bathroom! So let's exercise our right to wear stuff from the grown up's department, shall we? Mariah Carey, Ryan Gosling, and Justin Bieber, please lead the way.
Harem Pants
There's a reason these things went out with ancient Egypt. Anne Hathaway, you are lovely, but why you would clothe your lower half in flapping sails of polka dots is beyond us.
Shoes That Claim to Tone Your Rear End
At this point, you should know that anything Kim Kardashian endorses ought to be taken with a plate of salt. The jury is still out on whetherSkechers Shape Ups and similar shoes help or hurt your fitness goals, but one thing is certain — the boat-like monstrosities will not give you a behind like Kardashian's, which was bestowed upon her by her genes or the Gods, whichever you'd like to believe.
Dressing Like Your Much Younger DaughterMoms, there's a way to age gracefully that does not involve tapered-leg jeans and big, baggy sweatshirts. That way is not to raid your teenager's wardrobe. Imagine what Lourdes, Madonna's 15-year-old daughter, was saying as they walked through JFK last week. "Geez mom, did you HAVE to throw on that faux furvest/cardigan thing? What, the ski-bum beanie with the pom-poms wasn't enough? Hang on, I'm just gonna … stop, and walk behind you for a while. Yeah, go on. It's cool. Let's keep about 30 feet between us."

More impressive than the picture! SavvyBuyer from Houston, TX– Verified Buyer I purchased this 5 piece dining set and was a little worried about the quality and how it would fit in a smaller place. The set arrived on time but one of the table's parts was damaged. Calling customer service was a very nice, no nonsense experience. The replacement was sent the next day and followed up by a customer service person several times from the sending to the delivery date. I am very happy with this customer service. |
Love it!! beth from Howards Grove, WI– Verified Buyer This is a great piece of furniture, good quality and really beautiful. We've gotten many compliments. We have it in our basement in place of a bar. The little assembly required was easy. The only issue I have is with the delivery service. They didn't come when scheduled a couple of times when we had rearranged our schedule to be home during their inconvenient delivery times. Calling the delivery service was a hassle too. |
Love it! al from san jose, CA– Verified Buyer We love it! EVERYONE asks us where we got it from, as it is not a common piece. We use it in our open kitchensitting area where everyone gathers around it. There were a few snafus at first, but Wayfair worked tirelessly to ensure they got it right! I'm looking at their site now for a formal dining set. |
So many compliments... Jennifer from Houston, TX– Verified Buyer I purchased this set for my breakfast area. It looks so nice coupled with a natural fiber rug and I get a ton of compliments on it. Most people are surprised at the price I paid for it. They think it comes from a traditional furniture store b/c it's so well put together. I would highly recommend! |
Awesome buy Christine from STEVENSVILLE, MI– Verified Buyer It did take two of us to assemble this, but it wasn't difficult...just sometimes hard to reach areas. We absolutely love the set - everyone who comes in compliments it. It is sturdy and beautiful...one of our best purchases this year! |
Stunning Tamara from Syracuse, NY– Verified Buyer This is the best piece of furniture I have ever purchased. It is so functional and stylish. I bought it for my family room and it is perfect. The stools are very comfortable and really help keep your room open. Very clean lines, and I just love it!!! Best purchase EVER!!! |
Sturdy & Functional. Karen from Brighton, MI– Verified Buyer Love this table. It was easy to assemble and looks great in our kitchen. We get lots of compliments on it. One note, that keeps me from giving it 5 stars. There are some strange cuts and holes in the wood from the manufactured weathering process, but we've gotten used to them. |
My family really likes this set! Linda Wendling from Dayton, OH– Verified Buyer First time I ordered furniture from on the internet and was very concerned about how the experience would turn out. I was very, very pleased with the delivery and assembly was fairly easy. While it would have been quicker and easier with 2 people, I was able to do it all myself except for the final step of placing the top on the base -- that is definitely a 2-person job! The set looks great in my kitchen and the family is loving it. An added bonus is that a toddler's booster seat is suprisingly stable on a stool once it is securely fastened. On the down side, the actual delivery was over a week after the estimated delivery window. |
perfect Patricia from Oklahoma City, OK– Verified Buyer This set was exactly what I hoped it would be. It works great for my small space and the height is just right. I put it together myself in about a hour & a half. You could easily fit 6 stools around the table. Very happy with this purchase. |
Very Nice Mia from Glen Mills, PA– Verified Buyer Chairs are nice solid wood. The table has veneer finish on top and it is being very abused by two little ones. The finish is coming off and I am not sure we'll be able to restore it easily because of the veneer. Otherwise, very useful nice looking piece. |

Football: United out of top three in 'rich list' for first time, Bayern take their place
LONDON (AFP) - Manchester United's on-field problems were compounded on Thursday when the faltering English champions dropped out of the top three of the world's top-earning clubs for the first time.
Dramatically knocked out of the League Cup on penalties by Premier League strugglers Sunderland in front of a stunned Old Trafford crowd on Wednesday and 14 points adrift of Premier League leaders Arsenal, United fell to fourth in the latest Deloitte Football Money League behind leaders Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich based on income during the 2012-13 season.
International financial services firm Deloitte have been compiling the table since 1997 and for the first eight years United were the biggest-earning club in the world.
However, they've since been overtaken by Spanish giants Real and Barcelona and now Bayern following the German club's impressive treble-winning season.
