As detailed here, Sun Microsystems plans to introduce a new feature in early January to let its UltraSparc T1-based servers run multiple operating systems simultaneously, partly matching abilities of rival machines from IBM and Hewlett-Packard.
The technology, called logical domains, or LDoms, is the latest move in a race to make servers as flexible and efficient as possible through a general technology called virtualization. Customers using the technology will require the 11/06 update to Solaris 10, due in November, and either new hardware due in January or a firmware update to existing Sun Fire T1000 and T2000 servers, said Pradeep Parmar, product manager of business strategy for Sun's server group.
For Sun, the LDom approach adds a third, intermediate option when it comes to sharing multiple tasks on a single machine.

Petfood and supplies retailer PetSmart Inc. announced its board of directors approved an increase in its quarterly dividend by 18 percent from US$0.165 to US$0.195 per share beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The dividend of US$0.195 will be paid on November 15 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 1. This is equivalent to an annual rate of US$0.78 per share.
The board of directors also authorized a new US$535 million share purchase authorization that expires on January 31, 2015. This new share purchase authorization will commence on October 1 and will be in addition to any unused amount remaining under the June 2012 share purchase authorization as of that date.
"We believe the stability and predictability of our cash flow demonstrates the continued strength of our business," said David Lenhardt, CEO, "and today's announcement reaffirms our commitment to returning excess cash to our shareholders through a combination of dividends and share repurchases."

I dropped this undermount sink into a rainforest green marble countertop with a rust vein. I paired it with an antique oil rubbed faucet and a shiny dark brown glass tile backsplash. It looks gorgeous. I am quite happy. Shipping was quick and packaging was good. I'd recommend.
Haven't installed it yet, but it looks beautiful. Looks like I paid more for it.
Lightweight copper sink is gorgeous. Definately a statement piece. Perfect size for a powder room.
After pricing similar sinks at the local retail hardware stores I found this sink on Overstock at a MUCH smaller price and it is perfect. I used it in a dresser which we made into a vanity for out bathroom redo. It is beautiful and people are amazed at the price paid. Thank you Overstock!
I was very pleased with the quality of this sink. It is very pretty and unique. It does have an overflow that does not show on the picture. There is a flexible tube that connects to an overflow hole in the sink and goes to the drain.

Brandon Meriweather Q&A, 11/29
Posted on November 29, 2007
Filed Under Uncategorized
Lots of stuff going on today down here at Gillette Stadium, and we'll transcribe everything we've got as the day goes on. First, for the first time since the death of Sean Taylor, Patriots' rookie — and former University of Miami defensive back — Brandon Meriweather spoke publicly about Taylor and what he meant to his career this morning. Here's a partial transcript of what he said:
On Sean Taylor…
Sean was a good friend of mine. He was the first safety I got to follow … He was one of the great ones to ever come through the U. … He was a good dude. … My condolences go out to his family and everything.
He helped me with everything. He helped me with taking my game [to another level]. He did everything for me. I didn't know the playbook — he was the one who sat me down and helped me learn the playbook.
On the last time he had spoken with him…
Actually, the last time I spoke with him was the game before we played them.
On how he heard the news…
Kareem [Brown] came and told me at, like, 4 o'clock in the morning, that Sean had just passed.
How would you like people to remember him?
As a good dude. Not as a dude who always was into trouble, not as the dude that everybody tried to make him out to be, which he's not. Everybody makes mistakes. I just hope that everybody, at the end of the day, everybody realizes what kind of person he really was.
A lot has been said about the program at Miami in general?
I think it's a good program. Everybody looks at the city and the past and say we're this and that, but at the same time, nobody looks at the good players that came out, like Ed Reed, who hasn't been in any trouble. Bryant McKinnie … Jeremy Shockey – well, I can't say Jeremy Shockey because he's always in the media for something. [smiles and laughs] But guys like Andre Johnson and Reggie Wayne, all the good players that came out. Everybody always speaks about how we're thugs and this and that, but they never say nothing about the good people.
On Ed Reed and what he did for him…
Basically, he just helped me learn how to read different formations and break down game film. He was just the first guy who was behind the scenes on everything.

Peoria Christian School was founded in 1950 with the specific intention to provide an environment where students can grow spiritually and intellectually. At all grade levels, our students are learning how to develop a biblical worldview so they will be prepared to impact their world for Christ. PCS is a college prep school that equips students to enter and engage at the collegiate level in every aspect. Our Christ-centered, rigorous academic program helps build young people into leaders in our churches, community and country. We are excited about what God is doing in our school and we look forward to scheduling a visit and tour for you.
Main Campus 3506 N. California Ave., Peoria, IL 61603 Monroe Campus 3725 N. Monroe Ave., Peoria Heights, IL 61616
The elementary staff considers it a privilege to partner with the Christian home to prepare students to lead Christ-like lives through a biblical approach to education.
Middle School
What a wonderful opportunity we have to minister to the hearts of moldable young ladies and young men. Children enter our doors in fifth grade and four years later, young adults leave.
High School
We are living in a world that is clamoring for each of us to be alike and accept each person's individual preference to be different!

I love this skirt! And I'm crazy about the shoes....this is so cute together! ~Serene

- Amanda said...
Love it! Totally cute, kinda horseback rider-y for some reason, but I'm not sure why I think that :)
I definitely have favorite outfits, usually my Shabbat outfits, that I hold onto and don't wear too often. My top favorite, a wool skirt from Anthropologie with a bird and tree in various textures and patterned fabrics, comes out only for days I'm reading Torah or really need a lift to get me out of bed and into the shul :)
PS: I'm totally confused by your login. How do I log in as my blogger? - August 17, 2012 at 8:00 PM

gorgeous skirt!
and i tried on a hat today, trying to channel my inner nina, but i just wasn't right. too tight. i'm determined to keep trying though.
and i have a couple of dresses that i wear rarely, but they are ultra nice and i spent more than my usual nothing on them so i justify them sitting in my closet as "special". one is knee length silk with huge voluminous sleeves and a graphic black and yellow print. it's just not grocery store, mother of two appropriate. - August 17, 2012 at 8:00 PM

That skirt...oh my goodness, I love it. It's perfect on you and you styled it so beautifully.

That skirt sounds amazing, I'd love to see it! And on Disqus, you can log in as yourself, and include the link to your blog. You must have done it correctly, as your name takes me to your blog. A little different than blogger but I am loving it so far.

Keep trying! I've grown to love hats, even though my choice to wear them isn't really fashion-based. And that dress sounds fab. Can't wait for it to debut on your blog!

- Mrs Marcus said...
I have a few items in my closet that I just can't seem to part with even though I rarely wear them. For me though I think it might have more to do with how much I spent. :(
Love that sweater! What a deal! - August 17, 2012 at 8:00 PM
- Iris said...
I love that outfit, especially the skirt! I have alot of stuff in my closet that I don't wear but, I'm working on it with my challenge :)
- August 17, 2012 at 8:00 PM
Lovely look. This skirt is so intersting. I really like the top of it. Great details!

I looooooove that skirt! I have a really hard time letting go of stuff I love, even if I only wear it once or twice a year. It's a problem.

oh ya! totally hang on... sometimes for a couple yrs and then i realize one of 2 things, i either love it or hate it... i just cleaned out my closet and rediscovered a few things... but i chucked a ton of other things it feels good to do both!
love the look!

Pearson is the world's leading education company, offering collaborative teaching and learning solutions for on-campus, online, and blended learning environments. Our digital repository, EQUELLA, provides one system to house your teaching and learning, research, media and library content.
EQUELLA and Moodle developers have worked closely together to develop the Repository API and plugin for storing and reusing files within a Moodle resource.
Enhanced EQUELLA and Moodle Integration
The collaboration between the EQUELLA and Moodle Development teams has produced an enhanced EQUELLA and Moodle integration that enables learners and instructors within the Moodle community to natively select EQUELLA content and populate it into their course structure.
The EQUELLA team is continuing to work with Martin Dougiamas and his team at Moodle HQ to enhance the integration. To aid in this process, we are strengthening our in-house Moodle capabilities through key appointments, such as the addition of former Moodle PHP & iOS Developer, Dongsheng Cai.
With EQUELLA and Moodle users can benefit from:
• Central storage of content that removes duplicates and assists in version control
• Content that is tagged according to metadata standards for easy search and retrieval
• Permission model that grants and restricts access to users/groups and role of users
• Managing the full lifecycle of the content, which can be archived and re-drafted
• Reports on usage within the system, based on users and content access
EQUELLA introduces advanced integration capabilities with Moodle 2.3. Explore the integration that combines the content stored in EQUELLA with the power of Moodle in this video.
Simon Wilkinson, EQUELLA Director of Product Management, and Martin Dougiamas, Executive Director of Moodle, presented on the new developments to the EQUELLA and Moodle integration at MoodleMoot AU 2012, watch the video here.
Workshop Description
EQUELLA and Moodle Workshop
Institutions of all shapes and sizes are now seeking a solution to manage files with Moodle. EQUELLA and Moodle developers have worked closely together to develop the Repository API and plugin for storing and reusing files within a Moodle resource.
New developments to the EQUELLA and Moodle integration also allow users to drag and drop content directly into EQUELLA via the Moodle course page.
During this workshop, we will explore the new capabilities for the integrated platform.

The Texas State athletic identity elements — or "spirit" marks — are for use by the Texas State's Athletic
Department, university divisions, departments and units, and university-sanctioned sports, spirit and
student organizations. Texas State spirit marks include:
• athletic wordmark
• SuperCat logo
• interlocking letters "TS" with the star graphic
• Bobby Cat
While the Texas State logo is to be used for all university units, events or activities, the SuperCat logo, the Texas State athletic wordmark and the interlocking letters "TS" with the star graphic are the preferred marks for athletics. The athletic logos should never be used in place of the Texas State logo in any academic application. To ensure a strong, consistent and clear message, please follow these guidelines when using the spirit marks:
• All official athletic material of any kind must display the primary or secondary spirit mark.
• All spirit marks must be reproduced from official artwork available from two sources:
- On-campus use: Texas State Associate Athletic Director - External Affairs
- For-profit use: Licensing Coordinator, Collegiate Licensing Company
• The sprit marks must be displayed using the official colors. No other colors may be used.
For more information see the Athletic Department's Licensing and Branding Standards.

PCI Isolated Multi-Interface Serial I/O Adapters
Each port is independently configurable to RS232 when highly reliable standard serial ports are required. Choose the RS-422 mode for long distance device connection sup to 400 ft. where noise immunity and high data integrity are essential. Select RS485 and capture data from multiple peripherals in a RS485 multidrop network. Up to 31 RS485 devices can be connected to each port to automate your data collection. You can mix the ports in any of the interface combinations to provide maximum flexibility to your application. Sealevel even has optional DB9 to terminal block adapters to simplify field wiring and custom pin-out configurations.
In RS485 mode, our onboard auto-enable hardware automatically handles the RS485 driver enable allowing the RS485 ports to be treated as standard serial ports by the operating system. This allows the standard COM: driver to be utilized for RS485 communications.

A bad day even.
40.6 hours, 39,308 hands, $20,691, MT Ratio: 8.61, 2.62PTBB/100 (4.2 equity adjusted).
8.9 hours, 8,130 hands, -$4,340, MT Ratio: 8.5, -2.9PTBB/100.
So I am down $16k in all-in luck this week. That's basically all I have to say about that. I am now including my equity adjusted BB/100 in my daily report card. No, I probably wouldn't have done that if I had been ahead.
Aside from a modest daily result things are going well. I am playing well, not having any physical problems, and people are showing some interest in the project which is all good. So I am now UPGRADING MY GOAL! 50k hands is just a short weeks work, to be a real bad-ass I gotta do 70k. I always thought 10k a day had a nice ring to it, I just didn't quite believe myself capable of that many. The new goal should keep me from growing all fat and happy with myself the next couple of days.
Until tomorrow...

Sharky, I reckon you and I must be about the same vintage. The postion we're in now is luxury compared to some we've been in in the past. Anyone else remember losing twice on consecutive days to Alf Ramsay's team in blue, Boxing Day and 27th December 1961 was it? 3-0 and 4-1 in the old second division if I remember rightly. City right now are punching way, way above their weight, like a welterweight fighting against middles (teams like Fulham) and heavies (Manchester United etc.). Give Hughton some credit, he can only work with what he's got, and his first priority was shoring up the defence. Only one squad in the Prem cost less than ours, which is Reading's. Teams that spent a lot more last summer, including A Villa (over 20,000), Sounthampton (ditto) and QPR (enough said) are still below us. Even Newcastle are, and think how much money they've got.

Closing the book-related tabs
And here we go again…
- I've been reading Jeff's daily reviews of the books in the Penguin Great Ideas series. While I don't think I'm interested in trying to read all sixty of them in sixty days (despite Jeff's examples and the exhortation of the Harvard University Press) I am very impressed with the presentation of the volumes, and have cherry-picked a couple that I want to get around to in the near future. Maybe that'll inspire some posts.
- My long awaited copy of Escape From Hell (here's a review) has arrived. It jumped a few hundred books to end up about 3rd down the to-be-read queue. While I'm waiting Duncan is entertaining me with meditations on whether or not that little Turkish Delight loving traitor deserves to die. As is usual for him, it's lengthy but also well worth the read.
- Given that I've read and enjoyed 4 of the 5 books on this particular best of 2008 list, I probably have a very good motivation to go seek out The Gone-Away World by Nick Harkaway.
- Some recent(ish) favourites at Tor.com: a focus on Clark Ashton Smith, who you will not be surprised to find is my favourite of the old Weird Tales crowd. Nightshade is helping me replace my raggedy paperbacks with nice hardcovers.
- Some recent(ish) favourites at Tor.com: In one entry my interest is substantially raised in both an existing book, and a forthcoming book, and I get a free story in both readable and listenable form. How did I not hear about this book from any other source?
- Some recent(ish) favourites at Tor.com: Bringing some love to Scott Westerfeld's Risen Empire books (a.k.a. Scott's last not-YA books). As much as I enjoy Scott's YA stuff (and I've used the Uglies books to definitively prove to people that YA can do all the things that "adult" science fiction can do) this kind of just makes me wish that there was sense1 in him writing for adults again. YA's gain was a loss to adult SF for sure.
- Hey look, there's a new YA book coming out from Jonathan Stroud. As I quite enjoyed Stoud's previous work, The Bartimaeus Trilogy, which was both well-written and politically and socially subversive (particularly when viewed through the YA lens), I'm looking forward to this one.
- Popping over to comics, I was both happy to finally have finished Urasawa's Monster when the final volume came out last month, and sad that it was over. There's some discussion of the series over at Christopher Butcher's blog–and I should note that I started reading Monster in the first place on Butcher's recommendation, and I've handsold the series to at least ten of my friends since.
- On the mystery front, I've read only 5 of the books on the January Magazine list (with Winslow's book probably being the best of the 5), but their writeups don't motivate me to seek out the ones I haven't read.
- Also from the "how did I not hear about this already file" is the NESFA project to do a six volume Collected Stories of Roger Zelazny. That's pretty much the definition of a must buy, as soon as they're ready to sell. (And I have to find this out from an Australian? Yay for the Internets, I guess.)
- I found Charlie Stross' ruminations on the reasons for genre novel length, and the following comments, a very interesting read. It's even more interesting when paired with Walter Jon Williams' stepping up to point out the elephant in the room. (As an aside, for someone like me who has WJW on his "automatic buy" list, and has had for almost a couple of decades now, reading this bit in the comments was absolutely heart-breaking: "all I know about the sales staff is that they're always rejecting my best ideas. The editor tells me, 'The sales staff will never understand this,' and that's that, another fine novel that will never see the light of day." At least I've got This Is Not A Game to look forward to–Wheeler says in March–and apparently another one after that as well.)
- Back to comics for a second: Fantagraphics is after my wallet this year. A preview of their 2009 releases sees me spending a lot more money on their line than I historically have. A Prince Valiant collection–there's no way my LCS will let me avoid buying that, what with Foster being a local, a swanky Usagi Yojimbo collection, a new collection to follow up on that big Locas collection, a followup to that crazy Fletcher Hanks book, …
- Speaking of being after my wallet, we should mention the king of that, Bill Schafer and his Subterranean Press–definitely the champions of producing things that I am forced to buy. Already this year he's announced new Jack Vance books, a new Blaylock story about Langdon St. Ives, and a print edition of Metatropolis, all of which I've dutifully signed up for. He could well be the ruin of me.
- 2009 will also be bringing me the third Ambergris book. I just got my fancy edition of Shriek last week, too.
- And let's stop for tonight with Jincy Willet bringing us the most challenging madlibs on the Internets.
- To see what this means, go here, and scroll down to the "When are you going to write more adult fiction" question.(back)

The SPEED EuroSeries will be one of the WTCC support races in three events during the 2013 season: at Monza, Slovakia Ring and Salzburgring.
The agreement signed between the promoter companies – Eurosport Events (WTCC) and World Sportscar Organisation (SPEED EuroSeries) – marks the start of a long term relationship with future broadcast opportunities discussed.
An official international series since the start of 2012, the SPEED EuroSeries is based on the FIA's CN sports prototype race formula and benefits from important support from Honda Motor Europe which manufacturers the racing engines.
Jean-Louis Dauger, Eurosport Events Director of Operations: "We are delighted to welcome the SPEED EuroSeries in three WTCC events. It is a professional championship, very well organised and delivering exciting competition on the track. It suits very well our aim to offer motorsport fans a variegated and competitive range of different categories at our race meetings."
Oli McCrudden, SPEED EuroSeries Organiser: "The potential in the CN sports prototype formula is immense; over 400 chassis have been built by manufacturers over the last decade and the quality of the engineering is superb. The chassis are excellent race machines which test drivers and develop talent at limited cost. By racing at the WTCC events in 2013 we are taking SPEED to a higher level and, in establishing the important relationship with a major international motorsport broadcaster such as Eurosport, we are taking another step towards creating an achievable global race formula."
The SPEED EuroSeries will run in a 2-hour race at Monza and in two 90-minute races at both Slovakia Ring and Salzburgring.

District Man Sentenced to 51-Month Prison Term
For Travel With the Intent to Engage in Illicit Sexual Conduct
And Possession of Child Pornography
WASHINGTON - Jeremy Baird, 36, of Washington, D.C., has been sentenced to a prison term of 51 months after earlier pleading guilty to charges of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and possessing child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr., James W. McJunkin, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office, and Cathy L. Lanier, Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).
Baird pled guilty to the charges in June 2011 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. He was sentenced September 23, 2011 by the Honorable John D. Bates. Upon completion of his prison term, Baird will be placed on 10 years of supervised release. His supervision will include numerous limitations and requirements, including registration as a sex offender, and limitations on access to and contact with minors, computers, and the Internet.
According to the Statement of Offense filed with the court by the government, on July 2, 2010, an undercover officer with the FBI's Child Exploitation Task Force entered a social network site and monitored a conversation in which Baird expressed interest in having sexual contact with an under-aged child. In a subsequent conversation, Baird discussed plans for meeting the child. Finally, on July 8, 2010, Baird traveled from Virginia to a pre-arranged meeting place in Washington, D.C. When he arrived at the meeting place, he was arrested.
Following his arrest, members of law enforcement identified more than three images and more than 25 videos of child pornography on a computer that Baird possessed at his residence.
This case was brought as part of the Department of Justice's Project Safe Childhood initiative and investigated by the FBI's Child Exploitation Task Force, which includes members of the FBI's Washington Field Office and MPD.
Project Safe Childhood is a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov
In announcing the sentence, U.S. Attorney Machen, Assistant Director McJunkin and Chief Lanier praised the MPD Detectives and Special Agents of the FBI Child Exploitation Task Force. They also commended Criminal Investigator John Marsh of the U.S. Attorney's Office for his forensic analysis, as well as Assistant U.S. Attorney Karla-Dee Clark, who investigated and prosecuted the case.

Highly unusual, but this female Doe has now been identified as a young male, Eric Segura. Could not find a thread in the Unidentified forum dedicated to this Doe Network case so thought I should start it here.
Doe Network link - http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/85uftx.html
The Doe Network:
Case File 85UFTX
Unidentified White Female
Located on September 19, 1989 in Houston, Texas
Estimated Date of Death: 3 weeks to 3 months prior
Cause of Death: Gunshot wound to the head
Skeletal Remains
Vital Statistics
Estimated age: 12-19 years old
Approximate Height and Weight: 5'2-5'5"; 110-130 lbs.
Distinguishing Characteristics: Light brown hair, 5-7".
Dentals: Available. The victim's teeth revealed no dental work.
Clothing: "Hanes", white pullover T-shirt with Guess Products printed on front, size M; men's red drawstring shorts, with a black and white stripe on the side, brand Priority Male, size 28. No shoes.
DNA: Available in Codis
Case History
The victim was located in a wooded area behind 12200 Fleming in East Houston, Texas on September 19, 1989.
She was shot one time in the top of the head. Six teenage boys taking a shortcut through the field next to the Yorkshire Village Apartments in the 12200 block of Fleming discovered the remains covered with sticks, a rubber mat and a shopping cart.
Article - http://www.khou.com/news/Twin-DNA-he...128225813.html
More at the link aboveHOUSTONFor the last 22 years, Edith Montenegro has been waiting for her son to come home.
In August of 1989, 13-year-old Paul Segura left their southwest Houston apartment to take a Metro bus across town.
"He went to visit my daughters godmother and her son," said Montenegro.
But Paul never made it back, and until last week, she never knew what happened to him.
"Now they tell me they found him and he is gone," Montenegro said, with tears rolling down her face.
She said she always had hope he would return one day.
"Yes I did. I thought he ran away and didnt want to be found or something," Montenegro said.
To begin to tell what happened, we must go back to just a few weeks after Paul disappeared 22 years ago.
Thats when a passerby found badly decomposed remains in a wooded area behind an east Houston neighborhood. The address was 12200 Fleming.
It was determined the deceased was likely a teenager, and that the child had been shot in the back of the head. But because the victim had long hair, and a womans bra was found nearby, investigators always believed they were dealing with a teenage girl.
With all the latest technology, how did they go years without positively confirming gender? Thanks to all the new advances, I believe there is a way to determine gender via DNA. I think this happened with some of the bodies that were found in Stanley Park, where if I can remember correctly, they were able to extract DNA from a tooth.
I think they probably thought they HAD determined gender. It just reminds me that everyone is human and capable of mistakes. Also, that there's no such thing as 'exact science.'
nothing seems black when i see your red shoes
I've just realised I said his name was Eric in the actual post. Not sure why I did that, must have been reading something else and got mixed up. Tried to edit that now but couldn't, but his name was definitely Paul. Sorry about that.

It is uncommon!
- Rebecca, 06 April 2011
Those pictures are amazing. While the subject matter is quite beautiful all on its own some of these really take advantage of good framing.

Amazing photos.

Love macro photography… definitely lets you look at everyday objects in a very different way! (not that coral is necessarily "everyday", but you know… ;))

Clipper Green Tea Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Clipper Green Tea is a category on the Clipper Tea website. The company specializes in various types of tea, but green tea is the biggest category for the dieter who wants to lose weight and increase metabolism. Green tea is clinically proven to boost metabolism even if it is decaffeinated, which makes it probably the most important supplement a dieter can take. While it is hard to consume enough green tea with tea bags to affect weight loss, drinking green tea in addition to taking a fat burner with green tea will increase the amount of green tea in your body and may boost the function of the green tea in your fat burner. Green tea also tastes great and Clipper Green Tea is available in lots of flavors.
List of Ingredients
- Green Teas in multiple flavors and styles.
Product Features
If you're looking for some authentic green tea in a variety of flavors and styles, Clipper Green Tea may be a good choice, but only if you live in England. The Clipper Tea company offers Chai, Aloe Vera, Nettle, Peppermint, Ginseng, Gingko, Echinacea, Manuka Honey, Sencha and Jasmine Green Tea, just to name a few. The prices are extremely affordable and the company offers more than just Clipper Green Tea. You can find cake recipes, chances to win free stuff and tea themed gifts for the tea love in your life.
Clipper Green Tea does not mention weight loss in any of the tea descriptions. There are no clinical studies listed on the Clipper website supporting tea's many health benefits. But, Clipper Tea doesn't have to prove green tea works because the entire world already knows it works.
- Clipper Green Tea is offered in multiple flavors.
- The flavors from Clipper Green Tea are unique.
- The company offers cheaper prices compared to other prominent tea companies.
- Green tea is proven to boost metabolism and increase weight loss with regular use.
- Clipper Green Tea may not be available for shipment to the United States.
- International shipping may be very expensive.
- There is no mention of weight loss or metabolism boost in any of the product descriptions.
Clipper Green Tea is a neat company with a cute website. The company sells lots of green tea flavors that we don't commonly see in the United States like Aloe and Nettle. The green tea sold by Clipper will not likely boost weight loss dramatically, but if the green tea from Clipper, or any other company, is consumed with a healthy diet and exercise program, it could help boost weight loss and energy.

Arkansas Center for Health Disparities (ARCHD)
The overall theme for the Arkansas Center for Health Disparities (ARCHD) is to develop research to improve access to quality prevention and health care programs for racial and ethnic minorities with a goal of reducing health disparities. The Center focuses on chronic disease disparities with an initial emphasis on cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Arkansas consistently ranks among the worst in the nation in health indicators, particularly for CVD and cancer morbidity and mortality. Already large disparities continue to increase. Arkansas has the fastest growing Latino population in the country and the largest Marshallese community outside of the Marshall Islands, in addition to a substantial African-American population. To address health disparities, strong collaborations have been forged among the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Public Health (COPH), the Arkansas Department of Health and Human Services' Division of Health (DOH), and the Arkansas Minority Health Commission; and relationships are developing with the state's historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The Center will provide an infrastructure to strengthen these efforts and to develop and implement research to reduce disparities in the state's minority populations.

I'll never say no to England - Wilshere
Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has vowed to play for England at this summer's European Under-21 Championship, insisting: "I will never say no to my country."Head coach Stuart Pearce defied opposition from Gunners boss Arsene Wenger by selecting Wilshere in his provisional 40-man squad for June's finals in Denmark.Wenger is adamant Wilshere should not play in the tournament having become part of England's senior set-up, amid fears the 19-year-old may suffer burnout after a season which has already seen him play 52 times for club and country.But Wilshere has no intention of asking for a rest, telling this month's 4-4-2 magazine: "This summer, if I'm selected, I'll play for the Under-21s."It's down to Arsene Wenger, Fabio Capello and Stuart Pearce, but I will never say no to my country."

GU's Top 10 Most Anticipated Comic Book Titles of 2013
After hearing our top twenty comic titles of 2012, we wanted to give you all a breather before bringing you Geeks Unleashed's most anticipated comics of 2013. Now that the holiday season is a distant memory Stephen, Jo and Chris sat down at Geeks Unleashed's HQ to discuss and this is our top ten:
10.) Title: Uncanny X-Men
Script: Brian Michael Bendis
Art: Chris Bachalo
Publisher: Marvel
Release Date: February 13, 2013
Writer Brian Michael Bendis (All New X-Men, Daredevil: End of Days) and artist Chris Bachalo (Wolverine and the X-Men, A+X) have teamed together for the Marvel Now! relaunch of Uncanny X-Men. The series resurrects itself after writer Kieron Gillen wrapped up his run on the previous Uncanny series in October of last year. So what can we expect from Bendis and Bachalo for this title? The focus of the book will target Cyclops and his Extinction team of Magneto, Magik, and Emma Frost as they struggle to find their new identities post-Dark Phoenix. Whereas All New X-Men is currently exploring its story with a young Cyclops of the past, Uncanny X-Men will focus on Cyclops of now. All New X-Men has set the stage for what should be a dark new era for Cyclops and his team, with freshly introduced characters and new costume designs. Oh, and it appears Emma is single–maybe I finally have a shot!
9.) Title: Pretty Deadly
Script: Kelly Sue Deconnick
Art: Emma Rios
Publisher: Image Comics
Release Date: To be confirmed
After experiencing a successful year in 2012 with ongoing titles such as Saga, Thief of Thieves and Fatale–to name a few–Image Comics expects to continue their path of creating some of the hottest books in the comic industry. At last summer's Comic-Con International held in San Diego, Image announced its plan to release Pretty Deadly in 2013, written by Kelly Sue Deconnick and drawn by Emma Rios. The Western title will feature a female deadly assassin with a scarred face in competition for a prize of some sort. Doconnick, at the San Diego event, said Pretty Deadly will be about, "the beauty and what we embrace about it, and the destruction […] How pretentious is that?" The cover of the title is intriguing enough, and with Image allowing their creators much needed flexibility, this book has the potential to be a surprise hit.
8.) Title: Jupiter's Legacy
Script: Mark Millar
Art: Frank Quietly
Publisher: Image Comics
Release Date: April 24, 2013
Mark Millar has sparked readers' interest once again with last year's Super Crooks mini-series and the currently running Secret Service mini-series. Hoping to add to his popular titles, Image Comics will be releasing Jupiter's Legacy in April, formally titled Jupiter's Children, with Frank Quietly (Batman and Robin) providing the artwork. Jupiter's Legacy will feature spoiled-brat, slacker-young adults of once-great superheroes trying to make their mark in a world that adores their parents. Their parents discovered their powers on a mysterious island during the 1920s, and have since left their offspring with some big shoes to fill. Set in L.A., these kids make your 25 year-old cousin living in your basement look motivated!
7.) Title: Sex
Script: Joe Casey
Art: Piotr Kowalski
Publisher: Image Comics
Release Date: March 6, 2013
What do you do when you're a retired superhero with nothing to do? Donate your time to the local food shelter? Mentor troubled youth at the YMCA? Drop by the local elementary school to give a motivational speech to 7 year-olds on Career Day? Well, those all sound like good ideas, but for former superhero Simon Cooke, it's time to let loose among a gritty city underworld. Writer Joe Casey and Polish artist Piotr Kowalski team up to bring us Sex, a series about the lonely Cooke who tries to adapt to life in a normal society, post-hero days. Not only does Cooke struggle to integrate in a big city, but his former foes also find themselves lost without the option of tormenting their former caped-hero. Casey promises to deliver a dark and powerful story.
6.) Title: Sandman
Script: Neil Gaiman
Art: JH Williams III
Publisher: Vertigo
Release: Summer 2013
Very little surprises me these days, as life as made me somewhat cynical. However, I was not only flabbergasted by the announcement at SDCC 2012 that Neil Gaiman would return to Sandman, I was excited.
One must change or die, a lesson we all learn, as did Dream in the Sandman, a character driven , horror tinged fantasy epic which aided comics establishment as a 'serious' literary genre. It was one of the few graphic novels to crack the New York Times Best Seller list (along with Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns).
Published under DC's Vertigo imprint, the new Sandman miniseries, which will be drawn by none other than J.H. Williams (see Batwoman for a beautiful example of his work), will apparently focus on and "untold" story, one which has been percolating for years in Gaiman's delightful consciousness which has brought forth wonderful prose over the years including personal favourite Anansi Boys and The Graveyard Book.
Following the successful (cough, cough) revival of Watchmen, Alan Moore's mutterings, J. Michael Straczynski and Brian Azzarello aside, the Sandman tale will mark the series 25th anniversary.
Dare to dream.
5.) Title: The Wake
Script: Scott Snyder
Art: Sean Murphy
Publisher: Vertigo
Release Date: To be confirmed
When this title was announced at last years NYCC I knew I would be buying it. Snyder is one of the best writers working in comic books at the moment and he seems to just get better with every comic he writes. Throw in art by Punk Rock Jesus creator Sean Murphy and it is a sealed deal. The Wake, published by Vertigo, is billed as an underwater sci-fi epic like no other. It focuses on a terrifying discovery at the bottom of the ocean which will reveal a secret mythology.
Snyder has said that it is one of the most ambitious stories he has ever attempted. Given his astonishing ambition of his run on Batman this is an exciting claim. Mixing horror and sci-fi elements together doesn't always work but I'm sure in Snyder's hands it will be a success.
4.) Title: Trillium
Script: Jeff Lemire
Art: Jeff Lemire
Publisher: Vertigo
Release Date: To be confirmed
Sci-fi has been massive in comics in 2012 and it looks set to continue to be a huge element of a lot of titles this year. As well as The Wake, and Jupiter's Legacy, we can also look forward to Jeff Lemire's Trillium. Announced at last years NYCC Trillium is described as the last love story ever told. Written and illustrated by Lemire, this limited series has all the hallmarks of another creative triumph, following titles such as Sweet Tooth, Underwater Welder, and his work on DC's Animal Man.
Taking his fascination with World War I and turn-of-the century exploration and combining this with a sci-fi love story epic, Trillium sounds like it will be one of the most intelligent and thought-provoking comic books on the shelves in 2013. The preview art that Lemire has released so far looks absolutely beautiful and I've no doubt that Trillium will be one of the best-looking comic books on the shelves in 2013 too.
3.) Title: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen – Nemo: Heart of Ice
Script: Alan Moore
Art: Kevin O'Neill
Publisher: Top Shelf and Knockabout
Release Date: February 2013
Come February, a new League of Extraordinary Gentlemen tale will arrive, Nemo: Heart of Ice, a 56 page adventure by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill.
Set in 1925, 15 years since Janni Dakkar first tried to escape the legacy of her dying science-pirate father, only to accept her destiny as the new Nemo, captain of the Nautilus. And following years of plunder and destruction, Janni launches an expedition to eclipse her father: the exploration of Antarctica. However, there are many an investor on her trail in a race to the bottom of the world.
We're promised a heavy mix of Jules Verne meets HP Lovecraft. I can't wait!
Come March, consider braving the elements with the Geeks Unleashed crew at Gosh Comics for a signing with the creators.
2.) Title: Legend of the Shadow Clan
Script: David Wohl and Brad Foxhoven
Art: Cory Smith
Publisher: Aspen Comics
Release Date: February 6, 2013
Aspen Comics is set to kick off their "10 for 10″ initiative this February with the debut issue of Legend of the Shadow Clan. On the surface, the Arashis are a typical middle-class family, but their lineage holds many dark secrets ready to be revealed. Their ancestors were a prominent Japanese ninja clan, but were banished from their home after their employer had been mysteriously murdered. Now many centuries have passed, and the Arashi line of descendants have found their way to modern day America, where burgers and ipads dominate everyday life. Ancient foes have risen from the shadows, searching to destroy all Arashi offspring. As part of Aspen's "10 for 10″ Initiative, they will be releasing a new series for ten consecutive months, with the very nice price of one dollar. Hey, for a buck, I'll forego my daily snackwrap for what has a lot of potential to be a great story.
1.) Title: Lazarus
Script: Greg Rucka
Art: Michael Lark
Publisher: Image Comics
Release Date: Spring 2013
Writer Greg Rucka (Punisher vol.8, Wolverine vol.3) and artist Michael Lark (Daredevil vol.2, Legend of the Hawkman) team up once again after achieving Eisner award-winning success with the 2003 DC Comics' Gotham Central series to bring us Lazarus–a sci-fi story about a genetically-modified woman by the name of Endeavor Carlyle, whose task it is to keep her privileged family safe from the poor folk of a near-future dystopian society. Due to the strain of economic hardships, society has crumbled, resulting in an even greater gap between the haves and the have-nots. Carlyle is the youngest of her family, and as serving as Lazarus, her obligation is to protect her family by acting as chief intelligence and sworn lethal guardian, but there just might be some family secrets that might force her to question their motives. At last summer's San Diego Comic-Con International, Rucka described his story as "The Godfather meets the Children of Men." Lazarus will be released by Image Comics this spring as a new ongoing title.

Threat Ignored
Sometimes being right sucks. The Colorado massacre seems like it could have been prevented if Holmes' mental condition was addressed/considered rather than ignored. You can't just ignore crazy and hope it goes away. The stigma that our culture has re mental health creates a risk for us all.
Mental health screenings should be commonplace and services should be easily accessible as well as affordable, especially for young adults.
I understand that at one time a lot of mental illness was misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and a lot of the institutions were horrors... but who was it, again, that just opened all the doors and allowed the mentally ill to fend for themselves?
This is a perfect reason to have universal health care... so people who need special help and treatment actually are able to receive it.
Earlier last week, the school had searched through the records of this same psychiatrist - she was 'reprimanded' for writing prescriptions for Claritin (when it was still prescription only) for her husband, as well as prescribing some calming medication for some of her staff that had 'fear of flying' and had to take flights. Oh, the horror.
So the school initially puts out a gag order on students and employees, rescinds that when some folks protest about that first amendment thingie, then this
The Colorado massacre seems like it could have been prevented if Holmes' mental condition was addressed/considered rather than ignored.
Nikki Giovanni warned about Cho's behaviour in her class at Virginia Tech. It seems as if universities haven't learned how to deal with this type of situation. Giovanni was first among a number of professors to sound the alarm regarding Cho's behavior. After Cho was removed from [her class], Giovanni's boss, Lucinda Roy, tutored him privately and alerted campus officials of her concerns over and over again. The then-chair even developed a code word to alert her assistant if Cho every threatened her. She never had to use the codeword.
Although we can all agree that the signals were there and something "should " have been done ...what could have been done to prevent this?
Is there a process in the United States for psychiatrists to report worrisome behaviors to the police? If so are the police empowered to do something? If so what is the process? Are judges involved? How long does it take? Do they have the staff to watch everyone that psychiatrist are concerned about?
My only point is that I suspect there is no sound process in place for doctors and police to act in these situations. In hindsight we know he was a serious danger but at the time...not so clear.
I won't rush to judgment on this except to say, in my view, the "system" is not set up to react effectively.
"This is a perfect reason to have universal health care... so people who need special help and treatment actually are able to receive it."
Yes, universal health care can address some of the issue, but what then happens is that those who are mentally ill will be put on meds, feel better and so go off their meds. It becomes extremely difficult to control and takes a long time to reach the proper balance in the meds. What is often needed is partnering meds with counselling and that is the expensive part. People don't want to admit that they are mentally ill because of the stigma attached, and so won't seek help.
My sister is a college professor. Coincidentally she is a neurobiologist and has eight students in her lab. First words out of her mouth re: this incident "they knew, they had to know". She looked up UC's neuro program, the kid had eight students in his lab.
The psychiatrist that was working with him headed the Threat Assessment Task Force at the university.... let me say that again, his doctor, the doctor he was seeing and later sent a package to with notebooks describing the attack headed the threat assessment task force for the university. The system was in place, they dropped the ball because the kid dropped out, he "went away" to become someone else's problem, not theirs.
"A University of Colorado psychiatrist whose clients included the former student accused of the Aurora theater shooting reportedly tried to discuss the man with members of a campus behavioral and security committee about a month before the attack but the group never convened.
KMGH, citing unnamed sources, reported that campus officials did not contact Aurora police before July 20 and that the committee didn't meet to discuss Holmes because he began the process to drop out of the school."
Actually sounds Sanduskyesque. The system was in place. The threat was ignored.
"The system was in place, they dropped the ball because the kid dropped out, he "went away" to become someone else's problem, not theirs. "
Was it? Is it? It's the system outside the university I am talking about. Child molestation is a totally different thing, they system is definitely in place to deal with reports. Is that true of mental illness?
It's the system outside the university I am talking about.
That's the problem, Chase. There's no "there" there.
The only options are that a person with these issues:
1) voluntarily seeks mental health treatment (and yes, all counselors are under ethical orders to report anyone who appears to represent a danger to themself or others), which is exceedingly rare,
2) commits a crime and is caught up in the penal system, and good luck with finding treatment there,*
3) their family commits them to residential mental health care.
I've been in this position, sadly, and turns out to be extremely difficult to commit an adult involuntarily. Mental oddities/acting out/vocal threats/aggressive poetry do not cut it. We tried 3 times and were only successful when we had direct evidence of the family member attempting suicide.
If you don't have insurance and/or can't afford a private health clinic, the conditions at most state-run mental health care institutions are not such that they inspire confidence in loved ones. It's devastating for families, whose connection to the mentally ill person might be on tenuous circumstances as it is. Nobody is harsher than a paranoid schizophrenic who sees threats everywhere. And all too often the person comes from bad family circumstances that only aggravated the illness to begin with.
One issue in the Aurora case is that this was a graduate student, for whom there is vastly less oversight. Unlike undergrads, universities don't feel responsible nor do they patrol in any way graduate students' lives off-campus.
*that said, I was reading an interesting report recently that interviewed folks who said they received much better health care in prison than out of it.
CP, that's what I thought may be the case. Additionally I suspect there are all types of legal restraints on what the psychiatrist can divulge.
It's not much different here. Universal healthcare is not a panacea. The issue is getting help to the mentally ill and/or confining them if they are dangerous. The police have neither the authority, nor the manpower, to deal with the mentally ill, even those that are potentially dangerous.
Much needs to be done in this area...it's damn scary.
Not true. The kid had not finished the paperwork to officially drop out of the school. He was officially a client of the mental health clinic of the University of Colorado not the individual therapist and not in her private practice. The University and actually any mental health professional has a "Duty To Warn" under the law. That means if they believe that the client is a threat to himself or others they are required by law as well as by the APA's ethical code of conduct to inform those they feel are threatened as well as the authorities. It would be difficult to prove they broke the law, though they well may have, but the university will be found negligent, they will be sued and they will settle with the families or go to trial and lose.
In early June, the PhD students at CU medical take a "preliminary exam". If you fail part of one, you're given a choice - continue on for a bit longer and get a masters degree, or drop out. Thats where you the the phrase "he chose to drop out".
This guy failed the oral part of his prelims, and the next day, began to buy the guns.
"This is a perfect reason to have universal health care... so people who need special help and treatment actually are able to receive it."
I don't know about that. If one is mentally ill, are they going to seek help? Do they even know they need it? If they do know they need help, won't they seek it out?
There is plenty of help for chemical dependencies, some of it free, and that problem is still widespread.
While the psychiatrist did notify the police, what could they do? Holmes hadn't done anything. Even if they got an involuntary commitment, he'd be out in 3 days, and probably mad as hell.
Same for the guy in Wisconsin - he was on a couple of watch lists, but until he did something, there's not much that law enforcement can do, except keep watching.
The guy in Maryland who was arrested after threatening his co-workers and having an arsenal in his home - he's been charged with making a threatening phone call, a misdemeanor! His guns are legal and he committed no crime............yet.
No, universal health care is not a panacea... but it greatly reduces the un-affordability aspect, which is where many people here get stuck. Either treatment, medications, or treatment centers are not at all affordable... and the ball gets dropped, altogether.
Technically, there are so many patients with different illnesses that are either never diagnosed, diagnosed but left untreated, or the treatment is known but is not affordable, that all these people walk around suffering or untreated when it shouldn't be this way.
Affordable health care, including mental health, for all citizens would be a damn good place to start.
A seasoned psychiatrist told me that the people who need to see him are at home and the ones seeing him are there because of the ones at home.
And this doesn't point to the failure of the health care system. The failure comes when authorities fail to follow through with information about a person who is a possible risk.
FREE healthcare wouldn't have changed the failure.
I have an acquaintance who clearly has mental health issues, owns several guns, and spends his time discussing far right conspiracy theories and every anti-Obama anti-Liberal thing you've ever heard. He's violent, gets in fist fights, his business failed because nobody wanted to go near him.
I asked a friend who's a psychiatrist if there was anything anybody could do. The law in Colorado is that he has to come in himself for help - unless he gets arrested for something, at which point it can be court-ordered.
I then mentioned the guy to another friend who's a policeman. Who assured me that they were keeping an eye on him.
That doesn't exactly make me feel safe.
Unless you have personally dealt with mental illness, you do not realize how difficult, if not impossible, it is to have a rational discussion with someone about their irrational behavior ... kind of like this forum some days :)
If you wanted every gun buyer to have a psychiatric exam the country would be "up in arms" literally.
Meanwhile, duck and roll.

It comes after a discarded cigarette is believed to be the cause of a fire which destroyed a garden shed and damaged two houses in Birchington last Tuesday.
The incident in Westfield Road was discovered when the resident looked out of her kitchen window at 10.30pm and saw her garden shed was alight.
She realised it was spreading towards her home, dialled 999 and then left the house her three young children.
Two fire engines were sent to the property and crews put out the blaze, which was breaking through into the kitchen.
The fire destroyed the garden shed, melted the guttering on a neighbouring property and caused damage to the roof and garden furniture. A LPG cylinder stored in the shed exploded.
Margate watch manager Craig Newman said: "The fire is thought to have started after the resident had been smoking in her back garden and not stubbed the cigarette out completely before discarding it.
"Smokers need to be aware of the fire risks of smoking, tobacco burns at very high temperatures – it's designed to stay lit. That's why cigarettes can so quickly start a fire. It's vital that when you put it out, you make sure it really is out."
Margate firefighters have been campaigning in the area recently to highlight the dangers of discarded smoking materials.
They joined colleagues from Margate Task Force and the NHS Stop Smoking team at the Margate Gateway to offer free fire safety advice and urge all smokers to think seriously about quitting.

A lot of people -- primarily chief financial officers -- get their feelings hurt during this process. After all, auditors question everything and the folks handling the money can take routine questions the wrong way.
The best way to deal with an auditor is to simply realize the person doing the audit is simply doing a job. It's nothing personal -- they are there to make sure everything is on the up and up. If there's no impropriety in handling the money, there's nothing to be concerned about.

President Barack Obama expressed condolences on Monday over the killing of three Israeli teenagers whose bodies were found in the West Bank on Monday, and urged all parties to refrain from actions that could escalate tensions in the region.
"The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms this senseless act of terror against innocent youth," the president said in a statement, adding he had offered U.S. help to Israel and the Palestinians to find those responsible for the deaths of the three seminary students.
"I also urge all parties to refrain from steps that could further destabilize the situation," he said.
