Huge difference in gay men's health care
There is still a huge difference in the quality of the health-care and sexual health services that gay men and lesbian women receive, in comparison to their straight counterparts. Partly this is because of prejudice which still exists in some populations, and also in some areas of the health care profession.
This means that some gay/lesbian/bisexual people still do not feel comfortable in disclosing their sexuality to their doctor, or in fact find it difficult to be honest about issues affecting them, for fear of discrimination. This can cause problems in making a correct diagnosis, and thus affects the quality of their health-care.
A large part of the blame lies at the doctor's doorstep, for not necessarily providing an open and free non-judgemental environment in which patients feel able to discuss these difficult issues. Health-care professionals are also to blame for not asking the right questions and or familiarising with the different issues affecting the gay population
In addition there are fears about disclosing sexuality or having evidence of sexually transmitted infection (STI's), as they feel this might affect their chances of obtaining health or life insurance.
samedaydoctor health-care and sexual health services
At samedaydoctor Canary Wharf, we understand that the lifestyle and risks affecting gay men are different and that this translates into different medical needs. We can address any concerns as varied as:
- general health
- sexual health
- mental health
- sexual risk taking
- recreational drugs
- steroids use and more.
See our current price list.
There are certain health care concerns that are particularly relevant to gay men.
- HIV: We know that HIV is a still a big problem, and that it affects the gay community disproportionally. We also know that despite years of education and prevention strategies, large numbers of gay men are being infected with HIV every year. A survey conducted by the HIV charity THT, found that 1 in 7 gay men in London is HIV positive (Source: Gay Men's Sexual Health Survey 2009). As part of a responsible attitude to sex we promote regular testing for HIV and other STI's. A lot of people fear HIV testing because they understandably fear getting a positive test results and what that means for them. However, HIV is now a treatable condition and most people diagnosed with HIV in this day and age can go on to live normal active and healthy lives. The proviso here is that they are diagnosed early enough for effective treatment to be started and their health to be monitored.
- Hepatitis C. Until a few years ago no one even considered this to be a sexual risk. Now we are seeing many new diagnoses a year of acute Hepatitis C. We now know that Hepatitis C can be sexually transmitted, with the risk being higher in gay men, people co infected with HIV, or in the presence of other STI's such as syphilis and LGV. The main risk factors are traumatic sex, fisting, unprotected anal sex or sex where there is blood exposure, as well as injecting drug use. The sharing of drug equipment such as bullets and straws are also considered a risk factor. The risk for sexual transmission in heterosexual couples is extremely low. I now recommend routine Hepatitis C screening for all my gay/bisexual/msm patients.
- Hepatitis B. The modes of transmission are similar to that of Hepatitis C but it seems to be much easier to pass on sexually. We offer vaccination against Hepatitis B and I would recommend that all our sexually active gay/bisexual/msm patients be routinely vaccinated against this potentially lethal disease. The vaccination consist of three injections over a period of 6 months and should protect you against this potentially life threatening disease
- LGV: Lymphogranuloma venereum is a systemic disease caused by a type of Chlamydia infection. It is mostly seen in gay men who have unprotected anal sex (bareback), multiple sexual partners especially in saunas, sex clubs and fisting without gloves. Symptoms can take from a week to several weeks to appear. The initial symptoms are usually blood or pus coming from the rectum, painful inflammation of the rectum (proctitis), a feeling that you have to go to the toilet (tenesmus), and eventually it can lead to ulceration and or abscesses. It can enter the bloodstream and cause a systemic illness with fever. It is easily treated with a course of antibiotics, especially early on. Left untreated it becomes much more serious and can cause lasting damage to the rectum. It is possible to get LGV in the penis too.
- Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection in the HIV positive community. For most people infection with HPV is a minor irritation leading to genital warts. However for our HIV positive patients due to an impaired immune system, it is much harder to clear the virus. The problem with a persistent HPV infection is that eventually this could lead to anal dysplasia, pre-cancerous changes in the anus. At the moment there are very few NHS clinics that will offer the testing for HPV and even fewer that will do an anal smear to see if there are any pre-cancerous changes. This is unacceptable and we offer both HPV swab testing as well as anal smears with referral for treatment if necessary. We also offer the Gardasil vaccination off licence to patients who feel they might be at risk from picking up HPV.
- Alcohol and drug abuse in the gay community is also often a hidden problem, with very little in the way of support. We can offer a sympathetic ear and referrals to the appropriate gay friendly specialists if required.

Rene Koster, the assistant coach of the national football team, arrived here yesterday after enjoying eight weeks of vacation in the Netherlands even though the arrival of head coach Lodewijk De Kruif is still uncertain.
The high-ups of Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) had briefed the media that both the Dutch coaches would return to Bangladesh in the latter part of May to start work of building up the U-23 team for upcoming Asian Games, but the arrival of De Kruif seems uncertain as the wages for last four months of both coaches has remained unpaid.
"BFF president (Kazi Salahuddin) will talk to De Kruif over phone on Friday and then I can tell you about his return," said BFF general secretary Abu Nayeem Shohag.
Koster informed that he would sit with the BFF president to place their plans and requirements but they might have to think about alternatives if their wages are not cleared.
Both the coaches, who left Bangladesh on April 6, have been idle for the last seven months since the AFC U-19 Qualifiers in October last year.

Billy is a minor character in both Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi and The Grim Tales From Down Below. Despite being a main character in his own show, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, he has only a minor role in the comics. He has only appeared in chapters 1 and 2 of Grim Tales and a cameo in Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi.
[show]Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi
Billy had a few cameo apparences. The first time he was watching the fight along with the class between the Powerpuff Girls, Dexter and the Dread Dragon.
Later he was seen along with Ed collecting cookies and make a huge mountain of it and slide down of it.
The Grim Tales From Down Below
Billy was mentioned a few times during the story of Grim Jr.
He was always very weird, stupid and doing crazy things. Grim didn't know when it was Billy's time since his hourglass was very weird with twists and things like that. When it was Billy's time he was practically sinless because of his stupidity which granted him a place in Heaven, but because of his stupidity he got kicked out of Heaven and was placed in Hell instead, but his stupidity got him kicked out of there as well. Billy found his way home as a wondering spirit and went on a few adventures with Grim since Mandy wasn't Grim's friend anymore. Billy's fate was unknown after that.
Billy has a big pink nose, that he constantly picks, a small red cap, orange-red hair, a white shirt with a blue stripe, blue jeans and a pair of white shoes with a red stripe across them.
Billy is the main protagonist. He is a young happy-go-lucky child with an extremely low IQ of -5. He was outperformed by a shovel on an IQ test. He has an extremely large, pink nose, wears a blue and white striped shirt, and covers his redheaded hair with a red hat. His main affiliations are Grim and Mandy. Mandy is Billy's best friend, though she treats him more like a servant than a friend. It has been hinted several times that Billy may have underlying feelings for Mandy that even he (in his stupidity) may not fully realize. Billy is definitely kinder to Grim than Mandy is, and while he may go against the Reaper's advice and use him as a plaything, he appears to genuinely like him. Of the two children, Billy is the one who most often tells Grim that he's his "best friend".

The time management genre is stuffed to the brim with titles based around cooking and preparing food as quickly as possible. The thing is, cooking in a game isn't that exciting after a while. I love Diner Dash but I've done that to death. It's time for something different. Something a bit darker and more grim. Enter Garage Inc, a title that combines the Mafia with a time management game.
Refreshingly there's a story attached to it. It's not the most original admittedly but it's much more interesting to read than the slightly patronising tone of other titles of this ilk. You play Angelo an Italian immigrant who's trying to make his way running a garage in Chicago during the 1920s. To succeed you have to serve customers as fast and as efficiently as possible. Just like any other time management game then.
The game mechanics are pretty much like all other time management games but it's the way it's presented that makes it feel more compelling. As you progress, there are new staff members to acquire and mini games to complete. The mini games are an excellent touch as they mix up the gameplay perfectly, you're not trapped doing the same thing over and over again. They also implement the touch based controls well without feeling gimmicky. Progression is well timed ensuring that you never feel overpowered but that you never feel like you're fighting against the odds.
Controls are fast and responsive, although the ability to queue up actions would have been welcome. The music fits in well with the 1920s image and the graphics are detailed and attractive. The cartoon nature of the storyboard scenes are particularly charming and make up for the shallow storyline.
The only real limitation behind Garage Inc is that it's a little short. It only takes a few hours to complete. Then again, when the experience is this much fun, it doesn't feel so bad. Garage Inc really shines in a genre severely lacking in innovation.

I have to confess that I don't like plain scrambled eggs. When it comes to eating eggs, Mexican people get creative. No wonder we eat more eggs per capita than anybody else in the world. For breakfast scrambled eggs come with chorizo, beans, nopales, hot dogs, ham, a la mexicana, chicken, on sopes and just about anything you can mix them with. Sunny side up and over easy eggs also come in differnt forms, ahogados, rancheros, fried, etc. Less conventional ways to eat eggs are to boil them just enough to cook them without letting them harden and mix them with salt and lime juice, or add a couple of eggs to a morning milkshake, orange juice or bomba.
Since today is September 15th, the day when Independence celebrations begin, I wanted to start the day with some huevos a la mexicana while listening to some mariachi music to put me in a patriotic mood. I think I have mentioned before how much I love mariachi music. Although mariachi music is only one of many Mexican music genres, it is probably the most representative of Mexican music and folklore. It is not clear when and how this type of music was born, but a Mexican party without mariachi (and tequila, of course) is not a party. I am not going to lecture you about mariachi music (I'll contain myself this time), but if you'd like to know more about it you can visit this site or this one.

Publisher's Note: Today, we continue our weekly Spotlight on Editor Zach Scheidt. In today's article, Zach reveals a patented reverse-mining technology that has cemented a virtual monopoly for one surprising company and how you can bank big gains by getting in before word gets out.
Some say it creates an unfair advantage. I say, who cares? There are BILLIONS of dollars at stake.
I'll let Zach take it from here….
At the crossroads of interstates 70 and 79 lies the town of Washington, Pennsylvania.
At first glance, there isn't much remarkable about this small town, nestled in the rolling hills of western Pennsylvania.
But take a look at the local newspaper's website and you'll see something residents of other small towns don't: an entire page devoted to Marcellus Shale drilling.
You see, Washington sits at the epicenter of the vaunted Marcellus Shale deposit. It's big news there.
But there's one thing everyone is missing about Washington and everywhere else they drill for natural gas:
The biggest winner in the natural gas market is a company that hasn't drilled a single well… and never will.
It's a unique reverse-mining operation that has sealed its virtual monopoly in a larger industry.
I know that's a bold statement. But this company has the PERFECT business model.
When I first uncovered the secret technology this company is using, I was dumbfounded. It's genius.
And people are starting to take notice. Here's what this company's stock has done since November 2012.
Share Price is on the move!
That's right, almost a 38% gain in just nine months!
That's why I'm writing you today… because time is quickly running out before everyone knows about this company.
When the masses do find out, share prices could soar through the roof… and your chance at big gains may be gone forever.
The good news is… for now, this company is STILL severely undervalued. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Because this reverse miner also sends out quarterly dividend checks like clockwork. That's right, you could get paid to sit back and watch as your investment grows!
And it's all thanks to its dominance in…
The Hidden Natural Gas Reserve Market
If you've spent any time online recently, you've no doubt read about America's resurgence in oil and natural gas production. If you had been savvy enough to get in on this rush 10 years ago, you'd probably be sitting on a mountain of cash right now.
But if you didn't… and think you've missed out on getting in on the natural gas revolution… the next few minutes could change your financial future for decades to come. Because…
I've discovered a company that's exploiting a hidden natural gas reserve without the use of conventional drilling or dangerous fracking.
Instead, it uses a special reverse-mining technique I call the Ten Hills Technique.
If you've never heard about the Ten Hills Technique, that's okay. The truth is most people haven't.
Let me bring you up to speed. It all started around 1975 in a small community in California, just down the road from Los Angeles.
It's no secret that California is an early adopter of environmentally friendly activities. And this time the state got it right.
Because this little community was the first in the United States to use the special reverse natural gas mining technique to power its entire town.
And the company I'll reveal to you in just a few minutes has perfected the technique with staggering results.
In fact, it's so good at it that it patented the method… slamming the door on its competitors from being able to use it.
Unlike regular drilling that depends on large natural reserves of gas to make it worthwhile… reverse mining doesn't have that problem.
The sections in red on this map show where reverse mining can be done in the United States.
That's right… it can be done everywhere. And that flexibility opened the doors for the company I've found to do reverse mining all over the country.
The best news is it doesn't even matter if natural gas prices hit historical highs or lows. This company stands to make money either way.
What it's doing is so ingenious and creates such an unfair advantage that it seems criminal.
But I assure you, it's 100% legal.
In fact, some local governments across the country have gone out of their way to eliminate its competition.
Government-Backed Riches
Let's face it, the government wields tremendous power. It can make or break a company with the single stroke of a pen.
And it's no secret that it will do whatever it takes to have things go its way.
The good news is the company I'll reveal to you today is on the receiving end of some of the biggest sweetheart deals in its industry.
Over the years it has managed to grab exclusive contracts for its services through aggressive negotiations. Not just in the United States, but throughout North America.
Some people have gone as far as to accuse the company of bribery.
In Seattle, the city government even changed a piece of municipal code to ensure that there is next to no competition for the company using the Ten Hills Technique.
Was it bribery? Does it have an unfair advantage? Maybe it does, but I say, who cares? There are billions of dollars at stake here. The truth is no matter what, it means that this company is dominant.
And dominance means big profits.
Profits the company is more than happy to pay out as dividends to savvy investors who see the true genius of what it's up to. And now you can be on the list to receive those dividend payouts if you follow my recommendation.
And remember… its share price has started to take off too. So in essence this company could be paying YOU to make money. It's the reason I'm its biggest fan!
Amazingly enough, the service this company provides has nothing to do with the traditional natural gas industry.
Yet it's quietly become a major player in the resource market by using the Ten Hills Technique.
I'll show you how to get all the details in my special investment report "The Ten Hills Technique: Securing Your Retirement Through the Secret Natural Gas Market."
But first let me show you why…
I'm Not Like the Rest
Hi. My name is Zachary Scheidt. I'm the editor of Income & Dividend Report, a world-class financial advisory research service dedicated to showing ordinary readers extraordinary returns.
You may have never heard of me, and that's okay. To be honest, the last thing I'm looking to do is have my face splashed all over TV or the Internet. It's just not my style.
I've always been perfectly happy being the man behind the scenes. Because I learned long ago that it's not how many people know you that matters in investing.
It's how much money you help people make.
That's why, when I took a job 13 years ago as an analyst at a prestigious hedge fund in my hometown of Atlanta, I thought I had found my dream job. And for a while, it seemed as if I had.
I loved it there… I literally ate, slept and breathed investing. And much to the delight of my wealthy clients, I had a knack for making money. So much so that by the time I decided to leave, I was running two separate funds with well over $100 million in assets.
I'm not telling you this to brag. I just want you know that when it comes to helping people achieve wealth, I have experience most editors could only dream about.
But despite my success at the office… and all the accolades I received, I had one big problem with my job.
And that was TIME.
Because you don't have the kind of success I did without putting in the hours… and I mean a lot of them.
Every day, I would get up at 4 a.m. so I could be in the office by 6. And I rarely, if ever, made it home before it was time to put my kids to bed.
I'm a family man above all else, and it was getting harder and harder for me to keep missing milestone events in my kids' lives. Recitals… soccer games… plays.
I was just too busy to make it to most of them.
Then, early one morning, as I huddled in the bathroom to shave, I looked in the mirror and realized I needed a change.
I talked to a friend about looking for a different career. One that didn't require 16-hour worksdays.
He said that, before I left the investing world altogether, I should talk to Sandy Franks at Contrarian Profits, a highly respected financial publishing company located in Baltimore.
A few short hours later, my phone rang, and Sandy was on the other end. During our conversation, she asked me if I'd ever considered running a research advisory service, and I flat out told her no. It was the truth.
In fact, up until that time, I barely knew they existed… so I was a little skeptical.
But after a long talk, there were two things that intrigued me about joining Contrarian Profits.
First, I could make my own hours while still making a good living doing something I loved. That really got my attention. No more missed events. No more seeing the disappointment in my family's eyes as I pushed back a vacation one more time.
I could be a dad again.
And second, instead of helping wealthy people make more money… I had the opportunity to help good folks just like you achieve great wealth.
I couldn't think of a better way to pay forward the good fortune I enjoyed over the years than to show people who truly needed money… how to make more than they ever dreamed of.
Not long after that, I was on a plane to Baltimore to plan my first issue of Income & Dividend Report.
Start Building Your Fortune Today
I'm excited to tell you about the company behind the Ten Hills Technique today because it's one of the best opportunities out there right now.
Let's face it… great fortunes haven't been built by just buying low and selling high though.
The truth is, if you believe that you'd be better served going to the horse track, closing your eyes, picking a horse and hoping you don't get the old hag, you're wrong. It's a gamble. A gamble that benefits only the house.
Instead… some of the greatest investment fortunes, such as those of billionaire investors Warren Buffett and Jeremy Siegel, have been built by buying companies that pay you to own them and whose share prices grow at the same time.
Companies that do both of those things at once are rare… but they're also the foundation of countless fortunes.
Investing in them is like building a pyramid of wealth one share at a time. Except that, in this case, the pyramid never stops growing.
My job at Income & Dividend Report is to find companies that will help my readers multiply their wealth by meeting this two-pronged requirement.
It's the secret to wealth building that 99% of the investment professionals out there will never tell you… because it doesn't make THEM rich.
The truth is… most financial gurus are good at selling you the dream of a comfortable retirement. They'll tell you they know the path to financial security. And they'll promise they can get you there in days. And it all sounds great.
But most of them fall flat when it comes to DELIVERING those dreams.
Because it's impossible to do it in just days or weeks as they promise.
And truthfully, even if you gave them years they couldn't do it. They don't have what it takes to show you true financial security.
But since 2009, I've actually been delivering those dreams to my readers.
Readers of The New Growth Investor who followed my recommendations had the chance to cash in on gains such as 88% on TransDigm Group, 11% on Silver Wheaton and as much as 64% on Gannett Co.
And that's just the gains on the stocks themselves.
It doesn't even factor in the countless number of checks they've received just for owning some of these companies. Checks they could put to use paying bills. Or checks they can use to turbo-charge their accounts by buying more shares.
It's called compounding, and it's one of the secrets to building incredible wealth.
I'll show you how it works, along with everything the Income & Dividend Report has to offer, in just a minute.
But before I do, let me give you the details why the Ten Hills Technique is the perfect way for you to experience the power of the Income & Dividend Report firsthand…
The "Ten Hills" Invisible Wall
Walls serve as protection. Whether it's to keep something or someone in… or out… their purpose doesn't change.
And it doesn't matter if the wall is one you can see or if it's invisible. The purpose is still the same.
The Ten Hills Technique is a wall too. Only, in this instance, it's not a wall you can see.
But there is something very clear about its function. It's meant to keep something out: the competition!
Because what most brokers are missing about this gem is just how unfair an advantage it has over other companies.
In fact, the Ten Hills Technique is just one tool in an arsenal that it has used to secure a place as the largest company in its business sector in North America.
Not only is it incredibly good at its core business, but with the Ten Hills Technique, this company operates with substantially reduced costs in parts of its business.
How can other companies compete with it when it runs some of its operations at such low costs?
Easy… they can't! They're not even playing the same game.
That's why I'm so excited about this opportunity.
This company has perfected the secret to reverse mining and is using it to flat out crush the competition.
Reverse-Mining Riches
Forgive me if I'm a little coy about describing the nuts and bolts of what exactly reverse mining is and how it works. But I'm doing so for three good reasons.
First, in order to protect your chance at seeing maximum gains on this company, the fewer people who know about it, the better. If I'm not careful, this story will show up everywhere, and your chance to get in before the word gets out will be gone forever.
Second, I want only serious, investment-minded folks to get all of the information I've put together on this company.
And third, if I shared all the gritty details with you on how reverse mining for natural gas works, I'd probably bore you to death. But I realize to truly appreciate what this company does, you need a little more detail about its patented technique. So here it goes…
In its simplest form, reverse mining is the process of taking a resource that virtually everyone places zero value on, burying it in a specially designed container and then applying a complex extraction technique to mine the natural gas it produces.
As I said… it's not terribly exciting. But here's something that is… In fact, it's a game changer.
The company recently estimated that the raw material it buries could produce $40 billion in energy.
That's not a typo. $40 BILLION per year in energy.
Remember, this company is not a mining company. It doesn't sell the gas it produces.
So creating $40 billion of energy is like throwing billions of dollars right to the bottom line. Billions of dollars it can use to slam the door even further on the competition.
Just as importantly, billions of dollars they could pay out as dividends.
But unlike drillers that operate under the reality that their supplies will eventually run out… this company's feedstock will never go away.
And the kicker is… it gets PAID nearly $14 billion per year to take the feedstock it uses in its Ten Hills Technique.
I'll tell you everything about this revolutionary process in your free report "The Ten Hills Technique: Securing Your Retirement Through the Secret Natural Gas Market."
You can reserve your copy in just a minute. But first, let me tell you why this situation is so unique from just about anything you've ever seen before.
Anatomy of the Ultimate Resource Monopoly
You and I know that natural gas prices are hovering near 10-year lows.
So why am I so excited about a company that can create a virtually unlimited supply of it?
The simple answer is that this company doesn't sell it. It converts natural gas into electricity.
Right now, the company has 131 sites that can convert the gas to electricity. And that number is planned to grow to 160 projects by the end of this year.
The company creates enough electricity by burning the gas it produces to power more than 1.2 million households. And it plans to up that number to 2 million homes by 2020.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg. This company also uses the reverse-mined gas it produces to power more than 2,000 trucks in its fleet and is in the process of switching over 18,000 more of its vehicles.
The ability to run trucks on natural gas is setting this company apart from all others.
Most of the competition has to pay to fill up its fleet vehicles with diesel fuel. At last check, diesel was as high as $3.92 per gallon in the U.S.
And because the technology is patented, the competition can't use the highly advanced method this company uses.
The ability to power its plants and fleet with virtually free gas is a game changer. Do you see just how unfair this could be to another company trying to compete in its space?
But this company's unfair advantage doesn't end there. You see, state- and local-level governments like nothing more than to pick a single low-cost provider for services they use.
And with this company's ability to price at levels far below the competition, local and state governments will soon be clamoring to take advantage of this company's low prices. The outcome is all but guaranteed.
I realize it goes against capitalism and greatly favors the big dogs. Call it dirty… un-American, even. I call it a government-sponsored monopoly in its simplest form.
But if you're smart enough to be holding shares in this company, you'll call it a moneymaker. And don't forget, this company is a "virtual income machine" for you too… sending quarterly dividend checks that yield 3.4% right now.
That's money you can use to turbo-charge your account by buying more shares… or money you can use to give your wife the vacation of her dreams.
And by using what I refer to as the Ten Hills Technique, the company I'm about to reveal to you has secured enough contracts that it has become the largest company of its kind in the United States.
It's become a virtual monopoly by capitalizing on its resources.
Even in cities where it doesn't win contracts, the winning provider sometimes has to pay this company to take the feedstock.
It easily converts this feedstock into more natural gas to power its own vehicles. And it creates electricity to run its own facilities or to sell back to the grid.
That's right. The competition literally pays it to become more efficient and more competitive.
And remember, local officials literally hand it EXCLUSIVE contracts and PAY it to take their feedstock.
That's hands-down the best business model I've ever seen in my career.
The company has the two essential factors necessary to help you build great wealth.
It's poised for big gains AND it can pay you a strong dividend as it grows.
That's the two-pronged approach to wealth building that all the recommended stocks in my Income & Dividend Report aim to deliver.
And it's why you need to act now.
I'd like to send you the FREE special report "The Ten Hills Technique: Securing Your Retirement Through the Secret Natural Gas Market."
In this report, I'll tell you everything you need to know about this hot opportunity, including the ticker symbol, the buy price and all of the exciting details about how the Ten Hills Technique can help you bank serious gains.
To get instant access to the report, all you have to do is give my research advisory service, the Income & Dividend Report, a risk-free try.
Just for You
There's one thing I'll stake my reputation on… the Income & Dividend Report is unlike anything else you'll find in the financial publishing industry.
As I said before… I don't believe it's possible to build lasting wealth by shooting for the stars. While 1,000% gains look good in print… they're nearly impossible to find.
The truth is they come about once in a lifetime, and that's if you're extremely lucky.
And if you've ever been hooked by someone hawking a service like that, I'm sure you probably found out the hard way that I'm right.
Instead… I recommend a safer, more complete, two-pronged approach.
First… I look for safe, growing companies that are flying under the radar of Wall Street.
I do that for one very important reason. Because companies that are on the verge of breaking out can deliver life-changing gains.
But at the same time, I also look for companies that can pay steady income checks in the form of dividends. Rock-solid, recurring money that you can count on.
You can think of it as getting paid to wait for big gains.
And I promise you, if you decide to follow my research, you'll be impressed with the results I deliver. I wouldn't have it any other way. Because YOUR SUCCESS is the yardstick by which I measure my success.
Delivering Your Financial Dreams
I want you to realize your financial dreams. And in order to do that, you need to take a complete approach to investing.
I'm going to make it easy for you to do.
I promise you will get only the best, easy-to-execute income-building strategies. Strategies that have been proven over time to work.
Strategies like the "Seven Pillars of Dividend Investing". The Seven Pillars are the foundation of a proprietary screening system. I perfected this strategy when I was managing over $100 million in assets, and I still use it every time I recommend a stock.
It's my bible.
I'll show you all Seven Pillars and much more in my free special investment report "Your Guide to the Best Dividend Stocks in the Market."
It's yours absolutely free when you join me today.
But I'm just getting started…
When you join the Income & Dividend Report, you'll also get immediate access to all three of my current portfolios. Each one is a little different, but all the companies are there for the same purpose… to help you achieve financial security.
Imagine not having to live paycheck to paycheck… or not worrying if you were ever going to be able to retire. It's all possible.
And to get you there, the Income & Dividend Report comes with three recommended portfolios… one to suit almost everyone's tolerance for risk.
The Lifetime Income Portfolio… these are your bread-and-butter companies. Companies that are rock solid and consistently pay out dividends.
The Current Income Portfolio… just as simple as the Lifetime Income Portfolio, but it features companies that kick out higher yields. Perfect plays for when you want a serious source of income you can use immediately.
The Speculative Income Portfolio… this portfolio is for opportunities that are simply too good to pass up. If you have a little cowboy in you, you'll love the opportunities I reveal to you here.
Every month, you'll get actionable research that includes why I think an opportunity is the best to help you maximize your investment income.
And along with that opportunity, I'll also send you market analysis that could affect our open positions.
You'll also get updates on every stock in all three recommended portfolios.
I'll even tell you when you can expect the dividend checks.
Everything you'll get from me today, such as the free reports, "The Ten Hills Technique: Securing Your Retirement Through the Secret Natural Gas Market" and "Your Guide to the Best Dividend Stocks in the Market," are the keys to buiding lasting wealth.
When you get your hands on your very first issue of the Income & Dividend Report, you'll be thrilled to see just how powerful research of this caliber can be for achieving your dreams.
Best of all, it's easy to do!
And to be extra sure you understand the power that the Income & Dividend Report can give you, here's how you can…
Exploit Another Virtual Monopoly
Just a few minutes ago, I showed you just how big the opportunity is for the company using the Ten Hills Technique. All thanks to what I call a "government-sponsored monopoly."
Well, believe it or not… it isn't the only company out there with a stranglehold on the competition. Not even close. What if there were a way you could actually make money by having Uncle Sam pay you rent?
Well, I've found it.
A company that owns 82 properties in 31 states, including Washington, D.C.
And its primary tenant? You got it… Uncle Sam.
This company rents out property to 34 U.S. government agencies, along with several state governments… and even the United Nations.
In fact, nearly all of its rental income is paid by Uncle Sam.
And the kicker is… it pays virtually no corporate tax thanks to a law its largest tenant passed.
Cozy or crooked? I say who cares, because right now, its dividend yield is a whopping 6.8%.
This is the best way I've ever found to take back a little of what Uncle Sam takes from you.
All the details you need to know about this opportunity are in my special report "Make the Government Pay You Rent: Collect 6.8% As Uncle Sam's Landlord!"
And when you throw in "The Ten Hills Technique: Securing Your Retirement Through the Secret Natural Gas Market" and "Your Guide to the Best Dividend Stocks in the Market," I don't think you'll find a more complete set of financial tools anywhere.
By now you're probably wondering how much all this costs. Well, that's the best part! Be prepared for one last surprise…
Affordable Wealth
How much would you pay to realize your financial dreams?
$1,000 per year? $1,500?
Just a few short years ago, before I left the hedge fund business, you would have needed $1 million in cash just to get a meeting with me.
But remember… things have changed. I want EVERYONE to be able to benefit from my wealth-building tools.
So I'm not even going to ask you to pay a fraction of what you think you'd have to. Not $1000… not $500… and not even the $129 published price.
Today you can join the Income & Dividend Report for a mere $49 per year. And you can try it out risk-free!
That means for less than 14 cents per day, you'll get the best income and dividend opportunities the market has to offer.
And remember… when you join, you'll immediately get:
Special Investment Report #1: "The Ten Hills Technique: Securing Your Retirement Through the Secret Natural Gas Market"
Special Investment Report #2: "Your Guide to the Best Dividend Stocks in the Market"
Special Investment Report #3: "Make the Government Pay You Rent: Collect 6.8% As Uncle Sam's Landlord!"
All three are absolutely free when you join me today. It's my way of thanking you for becoming a part of the Income & Dividend Report.
But that's not all.
When you join today, I'll also give you…

YREKA, Calif. – Over a million dollars worth of gold from the Siskiyou County Court House is still missing and the sheriff's office has yet to make an arrest. Several months have passed since gold was stolen from a display at the Siskiyou County Courthouse.
The county recently received money from the insurance claim and now the next steps need to be worked out. The Siskiyou County Administrator says the disbursement of the $1,080,000 in insurance money the county received a few weeks ago will appear on the agenda for the first time next week at the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors meeting.
Currently plywood and reward fliers cover the display where the gold once was at the entrance of the Siskiyou County Court House. That reward could soon increase thanks to the reimbursement from the insurance claim. County officials are discussing the possibility of more than tripling the original reward amount of $15,000.
Surveillance video shows two men smashing in the display glass and grabbing some but not all of the gold nuggets early in the morning of February 1st. A Portland appraiser used historical information photographs and small pieces of gold from the crime scene to help determine the value. County Administrator Tom Odom said it's unclear what, if anything, will be decided at next Tuesday's meeting but ideas from board members staff and the public will be considered.

Ok, so after watching a posted video in another thread on Australia and Great Britian and their guns being taken away, I'm pretty bummed about thinking this can happen here.
So for myself, I'm leaving the polits and NRA and all that jazz out of it (atleast in this thread). Cause I'm not so sure that is gonna save us, not sure if anything can eventually BUT . . .
I have a proposal and a challenge . . .
I'm going to make it my goal to take atleast one new person shooting a month. Someone who's not into guns already, someone who without my invatation probably wouldn't have been shooting. I have said it before, I think it'd be hard to find someone who would not have fun going to range and shooting some qaulity firearms in a safe enviroment.
So that is my challenge to all of you, what do ya think? I'm sure we all have a couple of people we could talk into a range trip. I think this could be a really easy and good way to spread the love of firearms. It may not be THE WAY to fix or solve anything but it could be A WAY to help and do something. So what's your opinions? Anybody in?

What Are Evan Rachel Wood & Alexis Bledel Doing In Washington?
Sunday 3:00 PM, 10/04/2011
We spotted actresses Evan Rachel Wood and Alexis Bledel arriving at Washington Dulles Airport on a flight from LAX yesterday. Even though they're around the same age, these girls don't have a whole lot in common. Whilst Evan Rachel dates the likes of Marilyn Manson, Alexis has always maintained a genuine sweet girl image. However they do have one thing connecting them, and that thing is also most likely the reason behind their trip to Washington. They're both staring in the new movie "The Conspirator" together which premieres on April 15th, so it's probably safe to assume that their visit was PR-related!

WARATAHS speedster Harley Puruntatameri's hopes of playing in Saturday's NTFL elimination final remain in limbo after his appeal against a four-match ban for kicking was adjourned.
Puruntatameri failed to appear at the hearing after being called to to the Tiwi Islands late yesterday for personal reasons.
His four-match ban, which effectively ends the clever goalsneak's season if it is upheld, relates to a last quarter incident in last week's Waratahs-Buffalo match when field umpire Roland Ostler reported him for kicking his opponent Imam Mukhlis.
Tribunal chairman Anthony Jarvis decided not to proceed with the matter in order to give Puruntatameri an opportunity for natural justice when presenting evidence in the case.
Tahs president Leigh Jennings, who acted as Puruntatameri's advocate last night, wants to know if he can play in the knockout final against Southern Districts if the case is held over until next week.
"I'd like it to be held next week to tell you the truth, but whether that means Harley can play this week is the problem we've got," he said.
"In saying that, it would be good to get it over this week, possibly on Saturday morning, so we know where we stand.
"Right now we've got to find out where he is, get him back to Darwin and hopefully get him acquitted after we work out with the football operations people when we can hold the case."
Meanwhile, Southern Districts got some positive news when big forward Fred Sleeth's three-match ban for intentionally engaging in rough play was thrown out by the three-person tribunal.
Sleeth was reported by field umpire Jay Gilden for engaging in rough play in circumstances deemed unreasonable when he became involved in a third quarter scuffle with Tiwi Bombers opponent Nick McElwee.
Gilden told the tribunal he saw Sleeth run into a melee involving a number of Districts and Tiwi players and target McElwee by engaging him in a headlock.
"He moved to the side and held McElwee's head under his left arm for nine or 10 seconds,'' Gilden said.
"I thought it was unreasonable and unnecessary in the circumstances and reached for the report book, after which Sleeth released McElwee.''
McElwee and Sleeth both gave evidence through phone links, with McElwee saying the whole incident happened "pretty quickly'' and he was not 100 per cent sure how he was grabbed and who it was.
Sleeth said he was trying to ``deactivate the fight'' because Districts had finals football to play the follow-jling week.
"There was no malice, I wasn't trying to hurt the bloke,'' he said.
"I thought I was on his back, I never squeezed his head, it was more a push and shove because there was no aggression towards me or him.''
Jarvis said his panel was giving Sleeth the benefit of the doubt, but he warned him to stay away from any future melees for his and the club's sake.

The rules are if you fail to attend the tribunal on the scheduled day its an automatic one match suspension. Lets see if the useless AFLNT can abide by their own rules for a change instead of making it up as they go along
Tbone of South darwin Posted at 10:31 AM February 21, 2014
Did Harley retaliate by kicking. Has the Buff player involved been sited earlier in the season for doing a Hoppa. It took 10 weeks for the tribunal to decide there was insufficient evidence. He should have gotten 5 years

A Survey of Mathematics with Applications
Ad--on W--ey | ISBN: 0321759664 | 2012 | 1072 pages | PDF | 46,3 MB
In a Liberal Arts Math course, a common question students ask is, Why do I have to know this? A Survey of Mathematics with Applications continues to be a best-seller because it shows students how we use mathematics in our daily lives and why this is important. The Ninth Edition further emphasizes this with the addition of new ˇ°Why This Is Importantˇ± sections throughout the text. Real-life and up-to-date examples motivate the topics throughout, and a wide range of exercises help students to develop their problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Ask the Devs scrapped, new Q&A coming soon {WoW}
Jun 16th 2011 7:18PM Instead of just crying, let us give forth idea.
Have the questions emailed rather than posted on the forum. The devs/moderators/whomever will sift through the questions, eliminate all questions that are the same and combine ones that are similar. For example, "Will the Priest spell Divine Hymn ever have its power increased to effectively top off players with low health in most situations?" "Will Divine Hymn ever have its cooldown time reduced?" and "Will Divine Hymn ever be reworked to hit more players or the entire raid?" can be reworded to include a basic overhaul.
After they're proofed, make a poll available for the community. This will cut down on the pages of repetative/similar questions. This will (hopefully) alleviate the problem of wanting to only view the first 10 questions and voting using only those choices. Any question that can be answered by browsing the patch notes should not be included in the poll like, "Will there be a second boss added to BH in 4.2?" Questions that just don't belong such as "Which is better, Horde or Alliance?" should not be included in the poll.
Finally, the devs should just out-right answer the selected questions. As someone pointed out, we are not entitled to the inner workings of the devs. On the other hand, if they're going to give us access via questions, they should oblige. If I'm running a business and run a promotion for buy one pizza get a medium pepperoni pizza free, but give my customers the free pizza with only 2 pepperonies, that's bad for business. I technically fulfilled my side of the bargain but I'm giving them a less-than-stellar product. Skirting, for example, the Divine Hymn question above by saying, "We have thought about it and may do something," is giving us a free pizza with 2 pepperonies. If you have a problem with offering the promotion then don't do it. I know I'd rather you offer nothing if you're going to give me a sub-par product in your promo.
Don't play with us Blizz. I give you your money (with which I have no problem doing) so don't play me.

As Dawn said, a lot of top level priests don't use the cookie cutter spec. I think that cookie cutter specs are great for getting a feel of your class, but once you get the ropes and understand how YOU play as a priest, you should analyze your talents. Go beyond those major talents listed above and really consider what talents are going to make you a better healer.

text: Athletes often dismiss the concussion symptoms of a headache or dizziness after a fall or hit to the head. A field evaluation by a Sentara certified athletic trainer on site at some area schools can quickly assess an athlete to determine if a concussion has occurred and begin steps to minimize the impact. Left untreated, serious complications can arise. That's just what happened to Jordon Sink, a football player for Western Branch High School. Knocked Out of the Game by a Concussion During football practice on Thursday September 17th Western Branch High School athlete Jordon Sink suffered two sequential concussions, resulting in a life changing experience. Despite being educated about the signs and symptoms of concussions, Jordon did not notify the high school's Certified Athletic Trainer when he received a relatively hard hit that left him with a mild headache. Jordon says, "I didn't think it was anything serious so I just kept practicing." Within thirty minutes of the first impact, Jordon received a second hard hit which left him scared and extremely disoriented. At that point, the athletic trainer became aware of the situation and performed an assessment. Displaying signs of memory loss, focal impairments, and left leg paresis, an ambulance was called and Jordon was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. Following a CT scan which ruled out a more serious brain injury, Jordon was diagnosed with having suffered two concurrent concussions. Sustaining repeated concussions in a short period of time, even when mild, can have serious and sometimes life threatening repercussions. Such an injury greatly increases risk for long term cognitive impairments, and post-concussive symptoms such as head ache, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, etc. In Jordon's case, his post-concussive symptoms were so severe that he was unable to attend school for nearly a month, did not return to football, and was referred to a concussion specialist. As a means of monitoring his symptoms and progress Jordon's physician had him participate in the ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussive Assessment and Cognitive Testing) program. This computer based program provides healthcare professionals with an objective assessment tool based on reaction times, memory recall, and a self report of 22 symptoms. Jordon notes that "ImPACT is a really cool program. It let my doctor see that I was actually making progress even though it was taking a long time." Using this data, Jordon's physician eventually allowed him to return to school. Reflecting on this experience, Jordon says, "I wish I would have stopped after the first hit because I never would have been in this situation. It's been three months now and I still have problems with head aches and concentrating." When asked what advice he would give to other athletes he said, "Take concussions more seriously. They aren't a joke. Also, learn how to hit properly." Although Jordon wants to return to playing football he knows that he is now more susceptible to sustaining another concussion and he doesn't know if it's really worth going through this again. The previous article was submitted by Katherine L. Sullivan, ATC, certified athletic trainer at Sentara Great Bridge Therapy Clinic and Western Branch High School.

I don't believe in all that astrology mumbo-jumbo.
But maybe that's because I'm a Libra.
Do you recall the symbol for Libra? It's not the bull. Nor that half-human, half-horse thing.
It's the scales. You know, the symbol that conveys the principle of symmetry and balance?
Well, I'm not exactly the poster child for it.
Throughout my career I have repeatedly exhibited a complete and total lack of work-life balance.
Those scales we always see so perfectly balanced?
Those aren't mine. Mine look more like this:
So when I discovered that the exciting opportunity I applied for via a blind ad last January was with a company that guarantees their clients an unfair advantage in the game of life through work-life balance, I could appreciate the irony.
And while I haven't yet achieved mastery in the arena of work-life balance – hey, it's only been 6 weeks! – I'm beginning to see how my prior habits contributed to my lack of job satisfaction in the past.
Here are a few things I shall avoid in the future:
- Building my identity around my job. This habit stinks for two reasons. First, when things are potentially stressful at work, I'd carry it with me everywhere. Friends quickly discovered not to ask how things were going at work, because I would tell them. A prior boss once told me, "You need a thing outside of work. Get a thing or you'll drive yourself crazy." He was right! The second reason? When work suddenly went away, I floundered more than I expected. I was my job. Without it, all I could think was, "Now what?"
- Considering pleasing others to always be more important than pleasing myself. And under this category is my natural aversion to the word "no." Seems that the mere fact that someone has requested that Project XYZ be complete in just 4 days makes me automatically presume that it's possible to complete it in that time frame. At a prior job I often admired my older, wiser teammate who would say, "I don't think we can do that, but let's look at what we can do."
- Creating unreasonable to-do lists. I recall a prior manager of mine looking over my shoulder at my to-do list for the day. "That's for today?!" he exclaimed. "No wonder you're not feeling effective – it would take anyone a week to accomplish that list!" He advised me to shrink my list to no more than 3 major items per day. And I did it. For about a week. Then I went back to my old ways. Because, hey, there was so much to do!
Awareness of these habits is the start of my transformation here at Balanced WorkLife. Don't worry, we'll keep you posted on the next steps.
Meanwhile, do you have any habits that sabotage your work-life balance? Have you overcome any of them?

Cloud Efficiency: Different Paths, Same Destination November 18, 2013 Aggressive use of cloud-computing strategies can significantly improve delivery of applications to end users. Healthcare patient-experience improvement provider Press Ganey and project and portfolio management provider Planview are both exploiting cloud efficiencies and agility. Their paths have been different, but the outcomes speak volumes for how cloud transforms businesses. |
Google Reveals Skyrocketing US Data Requests November 15, 2013 The U.S. government once again heads the list of those requesting data from Google, and lately it's been asking for a lot more. Google's Transparency Report, a twice-a-year reminder of how often governments ask for information, says that the U.S. submitted 10,918 requests for 21,683 user accounts during the first half of 2013. U.S. requests had the highest rate of compliance. |
HealthCare.gov Is Symptomatic of Feds' Ailing IT Procurement System November 06, 2013 The troubled launch of HealthCare.gov has been costly for President Obama and Democratic supporters of the entire Affordable Care Act program, also known as "Obamacare." The difficulties surrounding the launch have spurred broader criticism about the federal government's management of major IT deployments. So far, $118 million has been spent on the website launch itself. |
BiiSafe Buddy Puts Caution on Your Side November 05, 2013 We've looked at personal tracking products before, including stolen-phone locators and a breadcrumb-tracking, mugging-alarm combo for Google's Android mobile operating system. Where some of these kinds of products have disappointed is that they have needed daily user intervention. The personal attack alarm required turning on before entering crime-infested neighborhoods, for example. |
The Unhealthy State of Healthcare.gov October 25, 2013 Finger-pointing has erupted among contractors responsible for the Obama administration's troubled Healthcare.gov website. CGI Federal, the subsidiary of Canadian firm CGI that was the lead contractor for the project, blamed another contractor, as well as the United States federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which it said directed and supervised its work. |
Facebook: Decapitation Vids Are OK if You Oppose Decapitation October 22, 2013 Facebook has reversed a ban that it implemented earlier this year forbidding the posting of graphic and gruesome content such as videos of decapitations and other atrocities. The company apparently made this about-face some time ago, but it only became widely noticed when the BBC reported on it this week after being alerted by a reader over a page with a clip of a masked man killing a woman. |
Demo Fall 2013: Little Slices of Amazing New Technology October 21, 2013 Demo's fall conference took place last week. This show has proven to be both a great and an expensive experience for me every year. Great because the technology shown is often truly amazing; expensive because I almost always end up buying one or two items, and my taste trends toward pricey. This year was no different, and my product of the week is the product I'd most like to personally own. |
Adidas Trots Out Smartwatch for Runners October 17, 2013 Adidas on Wednesday introduced the miCoach Smart Run, its new fitness-based smartwatch for runners, just a day after rival Nike introduced the latest update to its own Nike+ Fuelband SE tracker. Fjord collaborated with Adidas on the design. Paul Gaudio, vice president of Adidas Interactive, demonstrated the new fitness tracker at the GigaOM Mobile 2013 conference in San Francisco. |
Nest Brings Brains and Brawn to Smoke Detection October 09, 2013 The company that brought Apple-style elegance to the lowly home thermostat is attempting to do the same for the common smoke detector. Nest Labs, founded by Apple emigres Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers, on Tuesday announced Nest Protect, a US$129 combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector with more smarts than others in the market. |
Fitbit Uses 'Force' for Flex Follow-Up Device October 03, 2013 Fitbit only just released its first fitness-tracking wristband back in May, but the company is reportedly getting close to rolling out the next generation. Dubbed "Force," this new device will apparently be both smaller and more capable than the current Flex. Among several new features expected in the upcoming device are a built-in altimeter and watch functionality. |
4 Young Innovators Capture Google Science Fair Awards September 25, 2013 Google has announced the winners of its Science Fair, awarding three students for their innovative ideas in public health, alternative energy and app development. The company's third annual competition drew contestants between 13 and 18 years of age from more than 120 countries. Google this summer announced 15 finalists, who presented their final projects to a panel of judges last weekend. |
Google's Next Search: The Fountain of Youth September 19, 2013 Google on Wednesday launched Calico, a company that will focus on health and well-being, with a particular emphasis on aging and associated diseases. At the helm of this new endeavor will sit founding investor Arthur Levinson, chairman and former CEO of Genentech, chairman of Apple, director of Hoffmann-La Roche and now Calico's CEO. |
High-Tech Tools Make Indoor Cycles Brainier and More Fun September 18, 2013 Bicycles have seen much in the way of technological advancement in the past 150 years, and that was widely apparent on the show floor at the annual Interbike trade show in Las Vegas this week. The modern face of cycling was clearly visible in the electric-assist motors that make bicycles an optimal alternative vehicle for commuting, for example, and the space-age carbon fiber frames that aren't limited just to the high end. |
Hot Off the 3D Presses: A New Generation of Fitness Equipment September 17, 2013 Health buffs today have no shortage of apps, gizmos, gadgets and devices promising to help them get and stay in shape. At the same time, new materials are enabling lighter, stronger and more diverse products. The next revolution in fitness, however, could come from a technology that seems to have little to do with athletics but is already being used daily in the development of new products. |
DNA 'Glue' May Someday Repair Damaged Organs September 11, 2013 Researchers at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University have found a way to trigger the self-assembly of tiny water-filled gel-like cubes into larger structures, a discovery that could lead to practical applications in tissue engineering. The scientists developed the self-assembling system by programming DNA to act as a glue that guides the hydrogels into the larger structures. |
Video Game Rejuvenates Brains of Older Adults September 06, 2013 A multitasking 3D video game that helped some older adults show neurological activity similar to much younger adults could shed light on the plasticity of the older brain. A UCSF research team recently tested a 3D-driving game on a group of adults. The game play was designed to elicit a multitasking response, which generates a certain interference in the brain that increases with age. |
If You Like Guitar Hero, You'll Love Working Out? July 30, 2013 The creators of the Guitar Hero video game franchise are looking to put down the plastic guitars and get pumped up instead. Specifically, RedOctane founders Kai and Charles Huang are teaming up with OpenLink founder Coleman Fung to launch Blue Goji, a new interactive fitness company. The company's mission is to transform gameplay into something that can help players get fit. |
VuPack Camera Mount Puts You Back in the Picture July 26, 2013 One of the most fundamental keys to garnering interest in a democratically funded project is to propose something that people are going to seriously want. Wishy-washy concepts won't cut it -- it's got to be seductive. The svelte Pebble smartwatch is a good example of this funding technique, and it raised millions on Kickstarter. The Ouya video game console is another. |
Video Games and Violence, Part 2: Follow the Money July 23, 2013 At the recent Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show, there was a common theme to be observed in the demonstrations held by both Microsoft and Sony of their Xbox One and PlayStation 4 technologies, respectively. Though longtime rivals, the two competitors both relied upon a similar approach in demonstrating the capabilities of their latest wares, in other words. That approach? Action. |
FIDO Makes Working Dogs Better Communicators July 16, 2013 A wearable tech device that could make it easier for dogs to communicate with their handlers is in development at the Georgia Institute of Technology. FIDO, or Facilitating Interactions for Dogs with Occupations, could have far-reaching practical applications. It could improve communications with guide dogs, as well as with search and rescue dogs, and it could give military dogs better capabilities. |
Video Games and Violence, Part 1: Risky Business July 09, 2013 Hollywood may be all about lights, cameras and action, but the current trend in video games seems to be simply action -- followed by even more action. That was one of the biggest takeaways from the recent E3 video game conference in Los Angeles, where Microsoft and Sony went head-to-head with an array of action-packed games that came in stark contrast to previous years' offerings. |
If You Search, Advertise on, Invest in, or Have Kids Who Use Google, You Must See This July 01, 2013 I have a fascination with litigation. One of my early career choices was to become an attorney, and I was actually mentored for a time by a judge. Over the years, I've spent a lot of time engaged in litigation or covering it. I just watched a presentation by the National Association of Attorneys General, and these top law enforcers painted Google as a criminal organization. |
The Road to Health Is Paved With Good Nutrition Apps June 25, 2013 To get rid of the clutter of meal ideas, recipes and grocery lists stuck on his family's refrigerator, Henrik Nielson decided to create an app that could do the job better. Food Planner lets users import recipes from the Web or create them manually, then generates shopping lists and meal plans. The app's goal is to make it easier and more convenient for people to make healthy meals at home. |
Patenting Future Cures - or Not June 14, 2013 The Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously decided that some of Myriad Genetics' patent claims were invalid for claiming products of nature. However, the Court also held that other Myriad patent claims were perfectly valid. In short, Myriad discovered the location and DNA sequence listing for two human genes that pertain to breast and ovarian cancer. |
