The Back To School Barometer
Back-to-school spending is an important gauge of pending holiday sales for retailers.
(NBC News) Retailers are keeping a watchful eye on your back to school shopping.
It's not only how much consumers are spending, but how they are spending it that's important.
Experts say it's an early barometer for how the holiday season may go as well.
"This really sets the tone for the year, I think, for the shopper," says Joe Welter, a retail analyst for Deloitte consulting.
They recently surveyed consumer to find out about shopping habits.
It turns out online shopping and traditional shopping are blurring together as stores respond to consumer demands.
"People have actually expressed a preference for stores with flexibility with shopping on line, picking up at the store, shopping at that store or having it sent to them at home," Welter says.
Store branding is also extending to social media and website experiences.
"Their web site has got to look great," Welter explains. "It's got to be extremely functional, easy to navigate. It has to be consistent with their store. It all has to bring together the same sort of brand, the same sort of image."
It's all to make sure you are shopping where your friends are, buying what they like, and returning to your favorite places.

- New expansion: more dead content. Massive flow of players from Outland to Northrend, and Outland will become dead as dead is the "old" end game content.
- Levelling faster maybe is a good idea: now its a pain to level, if you dont have friend is hard to find people to do things and instances in Azeroth at least on low population realms.

>> that's my song.
>> this is another one of hoda's songs. we're back with more of "today" on this fun day monday. it's time for today's buzz where we get the buzz out of hollywood.
>> justin bieber's scandalous party pics to bethenny frankel 's divorce. the always naughty but nice huffington post columnist rob has all the gossip.
>> hello to you, darling.
>> we open the papers today, and we saw some pictures of dina lohan , lindsay's mom from a long time ago.
>> there's a big scandalous interview that she did today. a big tell-all. she actually claims the reason lindsey is messed up, the reason lindsey is the way she is because she witnessed a lot of abuse, a lot of domestic abuse when she was young. we've reached out to michael lohan to get his side of the story. he hasn't responded, but he did tell "the daily news" that this isn't the way that he sees what happened in the past.
>> there are photos of her with some black eyes .
>> she's the one alleging that -- first of all, if you are being repeatedly abused, get out and spare your children the sight of that. there are places can you go. the other thing is no matter what happened between them as a couple, she at some point -- they're all -- everybody's family eventually has to take responsibility for their own actions.
>> correct.
>> current actions. don't go club about your kids until 4:00 in the morning.
>> which she has been doing over the holidays. today lindsay is in court here in new york about the assault charge allegation that happened here. some people are wondering bets b what's going to happen.
>> justin bieber, this was kind of a surprising picture. there's a photo that tmz had. if you look closely it looks like he is smoking something.
>> tmz claims he is smoking marijuana in this picture.
>> he is holding something.
>> he is holding something in his hand. there's no way you can actually tell what's going on here. however, what's nice news is that a couple of days ago justin did a concert in utah, and before the concert he went to a hospital to see a young fan of his that has been battling leukemia for three years and -- he does not do this because of these pictures. he has been doing this for a long time. he doesn't tell the press about it. the only reason we know is that they took a picture in her hospital room. she put it on facebook.
>> his mom, patty is a dear, dear faithful lady who has raised him under really extraordinary circumstances.
>> absolutely.
>> he knows what's right and wrong, and he said that --
>> he tweeted.
>> yeah.
>> he is on the right path. we have nothing to worry about there.
>> bethenny frankel where sfloosh bethenny has filed for divorce just before the holidays.
>> i didn't see that coming, did you? you're friends with her.
>> you know, i didn't, but i think you don't ever really know what goes on behind someone else 's walls. you don't know.
>> several of her friends say she's doing great. she's filed for divorce. she's working on her new show, and hopefully everything will turn out. her show will be in new york, so at least now her ex jason will get to see the baby because she's not moving to l.a.
>> no one seems to know -- why? there usually is a reason for two people to break up a marriage.
>> surprisingly, bethenny has been very silent about this. this is somebody that is really welcomed people into her life in the past. she did a show --
>> her talk show is going to be all about her being transparent with people.
>> she will find the moment to tell this story, i guarantee you, and it might be on her show.
>> wish everybody the best, but it's very sad.
>> certainly do.
>> hate it when families break up.
>> honey boo boo . she has some bank.
>> her mom is trying to do the right thing.
>> i love this story. she might actually be the smartest lady on reality tv . the mother knows this is not going to last forever. there you go. so the money that they get --
>> and may not survive it.
>> from tlc, which is rumored to be $15,000 an episode, that money is going straight into a trust for the daughter.
>> the baby bottle .
>> yeah. basically she said she doesn't want to be like those -- she wants to be smarter than all those other reality moms.
>> it's going to be a trust. they can't touch it until they're 21.
>> unless they need it for medical reasons.
>> the movie this weekend "the texas chainsaw massacre " was seriously number one?
>> seriously number one.
>> does that upset anybody else as much as me?
>> i can't believe it's beating everything out there.
>> i saw " hyde park on the hudson where the king of england comes to visit america. it is fantastic. fantastic.

30 March 2013
At daybreak on the first day of the week
the women who had come from Galilee with Jesus
took the spices they had prepared
and went to the tomb.
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb;
but when they entered,
they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
While they were puzzling over this, behold,
two men in dazzling garments appeared to them.
They were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground.
They said to them,
"Why do you seek the living one among the dead?
He is not here, but he has been raised.
Remember what he said to you while he was still in Galilee,
that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners
and be crucified, and rise on the third day."
And they remembered his words. (Luke 24: 1-8)
In the spirit of Holy Thursday, let us remember His example captured in the Ubi Caritas and truly honor His Resurrection today.
- Where charity and love are, God is there.
- Christ's love has gathered us into one.
- Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him.
- Let us fear, and let us love the living God.
- And may we love each other with a sincere heart.
- Where charity and love are, God is there.
- As we are gathered into one body,
- Beware, lest we be divided in mind.
- Let evil impulses stop, let controversy cease,
- And may Christ our God be in our midst.
- Where charity and love are, God is there.
- And may we with the saints also,
- See Thy face in glory, O Christ our God:
- The joy that is immense and good,
- Unto the ages through infinite ages. Amen.

Is FDG-PET A Better Imaging Option For Diabetic Osteomyelitis?
De Winter and colleagues performed a prospective study using FDG-PET scans on 60 patients suspected of having chronic infections involving the axial and appendicular skeleton.8 Two experienced, unbiased radiologists read the scans independently. The final diagnosis was based on histology and bacterial cultures in 18 patients and clinical findings with a minimum follow-up of six months in 42 patients.
The researchers determined that 25 patients were infected with osteomyelitis being identified correctly by both radiologists.8 There were four false positives. The sensitivity for the group with appendicular skeletal infections was 100 percent and the specificity was 86 percent. These authors determined that the PET scan is highly accurate at diagnosing chronic osteomyelitis and could become the standard imaging technique for this condition.
Basu and co-workers conducted a prospective clinical trial comparing the use of PET scan to MRI in diabetic feet complicated by acute Charcot neuroarthropathy.9 The authors wanted to discover if PET could distinguish between Charcot osteoarthropathy and osteomyelitis. The patients were divided into four groups: 17 patients with Charcot neuroarthropathy, 21 patients with uncomplicated diabetic feet, 20 non-diabetic patients with normal lower extremities and five patients with osteomyelitis secondary to complicated diabetic feet.
Even in the presence of Charcot and coexisting foot ulcers, the PET scan accurately ruled out osteomyelitis.9 Charcot joints had small amounts of diffuse uptake of FDG. The PET had 100 percent sensitivity and 93.8 percent accuracy in the diagnosis of Charcot foot in this study. In contrast, MRI was 76.9 percent sensitive and 75 percent accurate.
In their meta-analysis comparing different imaging modalities for the diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis, Termaat and colleagues concluded that FDG-PET had the highest accuracy in confirming or excluding the diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis with a pooled sensitivity of 96 percent and a pooled specificity of 91 percent.5 However, they noted that due to the limited availability of PET, one can use combined bone and leukocyte scintigraphy with satisfactory accuracy to diagnose chronic osteomyelitis in the appendicular skeleton.
Exploring The Specific Advantages Of FDG-PET
In comparison to other nuclear imaging modalities, FDG-PET has the advantage of being able to provide results within two hours.10 Bone scans stay positive for a long time after a fracture but the uptake of FDG usually normalizes after two to three months following a fracture, making it useful in evaluating chronic osteomyelitis with previous trauma.2,11,12
In comparison to imaging modalities such as CT, MRI and ultrasound, FDG-PET is advantageous because it offers full body coverage, high sensitivity, an absence of artifacts from metallic hardware and a lack of reactions to pharmaceuticals.2 Unlike WBC scans, FTG-PET is highly sensitive for osteomyelitis in patients who have taken antibiotics before imaging.13
While it is well documented that hyperglycemia can adversely affect FTG-PET scan results when physicians use them to detect neoplasms, Zhuang and co-workers concluded that mild to moderate hyperglycemia (14
The disadvantages of FDG-PET include its limited availability and high cost.5 Additionally, 18F-FDG has a half-life that is not very long (110 minutes) so one must schedule patients very strategically throughout the day.15
How Combining FDG-PET With CT Scans Can Provide Enhanced Results
Another issue with FDG-PET is the fact that it has a comparably low spatial resolution when one measures this against other techniques such as CT. Fortunately, physicians can overcome this with the combined modality FDG-PET/CT.16

But ask Johnston what he finds most inspirational and he'll go right back to the very beginning.
That's when, five years ago, philanthropist Betty Irene Moore came to donate $100 million to UC Davis, moving the School of Nursing from dream to reality.
Thanks to Moore's contribution, Johnston and 24 other nurses are part of a small elite cadre of nurses graduating Thursday with UC Davis' first masters of science in nursing education and health care leadership. Recruited for their talent and fully funded by scholarships, the graduates personify the first wave of the hopes and beliefs of Moore and UC Davis leaders that a new breed of well-educated nurse will transform the health care system.

This review is from 5x8 Binder Pockets 75307:
I was very happy to find these sturdy mini-binder pockets. The only thing I would change is to make them a little bit wider, so they can actually hold an 8.5"x5.5" piece of paper.
This review is from Binder Pockets 75254:
I have been using binder pockets for years. I use binders a lot & the pockets are so easy to use & much easier to use than sheet protectors for certain paperwork. I have to change the information sheets periodically & it's very easy to remove the old sheets & replace them with new.
They are also very helpful when I need to hold smaller pieces of paper because the pockets are deeper. Sometimes I have smaller pieces of paper with notes & the binder pockets are a great way of keeping them all together.
I like the variety of colors as well. It makes it easy to color code information.

The Albright - Herndon Family Home PageUpdated September 5, 2000 |
I would like to get any information I can about the Herndon family of Georgia. Wiley Herndon was born in 1866 in Jonesboro GA. He married Parmelia Gabriella Carolina Coates in 1893. I would also like to get any information available for Lillian Verity, She died in Bay City Michigan in 1898. I am just getting started on the ancestral search and I have some information from my mother's side for a DAR application. I am trying to find more substantiating information on the family, the lineage is apparently through John Hicks of Boston. I would appreciate any help that anyone can give me. I am willing to share anything that I have, with no guarantees as to the accuracy of the information yet. I currently have two birthdays for one ancestor, George Hicks, and I have not had any luck yet getting that straightened out Thank you. |

(KETK) - Tyler Tx — Next time you are at a doughnut shop you might be sinking your teeth into something new, an advertisement.
A small doughnut shop off of 69 in Jacksonville is filled with good smells, pictures of loyal customers and advertisements on some of their doughnut boxes.
Jacksonville Donut Shoppe is one of many independent shops displaying ads on their doughnut boxes.
Owner Richard Toch says Dawn Food Products distributed the boxes to them about a year ago.
Toch hopes disturbing these walking advertisements will bring more customers into his place.
"I feel great. I am so happy they came to help me out and help my business grow," said Toch.
Companies like Dish Network and Pizza Hut and other big name corporations have their names splattered across these boxes.
But, Toch's customers have the option to have a box filled with advertisements or a plain one.
This isn't a new strategy, though.
Exclusively Yours Advertising makes their own doughnut boxes as their form of advertising.
Vice President DeAnn Wells says this is an effective strategy for many businesses.
"When you go into a break room somewhere, and you see ten different doughnut boxes, the one that has an actual company name on it instead of a doughnut shop name is definitely going to stand out.," said Wells.
Toch and his wife hope this new addition will help give them a little exposure.
"I cross my fingers. My loyal customers keep coming in everyday and tell me not to quit. They tell me I can make it. That is why I keep going," said Toch.

HAMMOND, LA — An employee of a college prep program in Tangipahoa Parish has been arrested for engaging in sexual activities with one of the students in the program. He has been charged with prohibited sexual conduct between educator and student.
The sheriff's office says they began investigating on April 2, 2012 and discovered that James Loyd, 41, of Livingston was having sexual relations with a 17 year old student of Upward Bound.
Upward Bound is a federally funded educational opportunity offered to high school students and is geared toward enhancing the skills needed to prepare them for college
According to authorities, the relationship between Loyd and one of the students is believed to have begun back in December. Officials believe Loyd initiated the relationship and actively pursued the teen.
Loyd is employed at Upward Bound as a supplemental instructor. He is also employed as a laboratory coordinator with the Chemistry and Physics Department at Southeaster Louisiana University since 2007.
Loyd was arrested and taken into custody in Livingston.
Officials say the investigation is ongoing and additional charges are possible.

There is a chance that people might assume that all those who are productive will be efficient as well. But the fact is productivity and efficiency are 2 different concepts. We all know that productivity is about quantity of things produced in a certain amount of time. But efficiency is the ability to produce utilizing the minimum resources possible. It could be time, energy, raw materials or any such inputs that might require for production.
While we strive to produce great things we often ignore the amount of consumption which goes into production. Maybe sometimes if we measure intake our net outcome might be having a negative impact to overall system. In short, if we are serious about a positive impact to the system while focusing on productivity we should have an eye on the efficiency side by focusing on how much resources we consume. This could be by thinking about various aspects like reducing resources, reusing them, recycling them and by other many preventive actions to avoid wastage.
For a Muslim, this is a command from his Lord as well,
"Do not be extravagant, for Allah does not love the wasteful" [6:141, 7:31]
I have been traveling to many Muslim majority countries and one thing that really touched me was the amount of waste our community is producing. This is something that needs to be fixed before we can talk about efficiency. This photo was taken after a small team lunch session at our customers place. Amount of food, tissues, bottles, disposables that were wasted shows that we are least bothered about such warnings. Even during Hajj you can see huge quantities of waste outside many tents and food (often offered free) scattered all over the streets which will make us think that the majority among us didn't get the real spirit and soul of the rituals and religion.
Following are some initial thoughts that might help each of us to realize how easy it is to improve efficiency.

Court rejects health care law challenge
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – A federal appeals court has ruled against the Mennonite owners of a central Pennsylvania furniture manufacturing company who claimed new health insurance requirements that they pay for employees' contraceptive services violate their free speech and religion rights.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling issued Friday upholds a lower court decision that the owners of Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. do not qualify for an exception as a religious employer, since it is a for-profit company making a secular product.
Conestoga's health plan had excluded coverage for contraceptives and drugs used to abort a pregnancy, citing Mennonite Church teaching that terminating a fertilized embryo is "a sin against God."
The Pennsylvania case is one of more than 60 nationwide addressing the rule mandating contraception coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

Ballet Leotards – A Wonderful Piece of Dancewear
The ballet leotard is a truly wonderful piece of dancewear. Its snug formfitting qualities make it completely flexible and ever-adaptable. It elegantly shows off the curves of the dancer's body, is breathable and provides the foundation for a fantastic dance costume.
Another wonderful aspect of the ballet leotard is that it has a fascinating history. It was developed by revolutionary French acrobatic performer Jules Léotard who developed the art of trapeze. After studying for the legal profession, Léotard began to experiment with trapeze ropes, bars and rings suspended over a swimming pool. Soon afterwards, he joined the Cirque Napoleon and went on to become the first ever performer a complete a full mid-air somersault. Several years after his death, the skin-tight garment which he used to wear to perform in became known as the leotard.
Since then, the leotard has taken many different forms. During the 1920s and 1930s, it had a significant influence over the design of bathing costumes worn by hundreds of visitors to seaside resorts. By the 1950s, dance leotards were being worn by professional dancers on Broadway as well as other stage performers. This trend continued for many years and in the late 1970s the disco craze saw the leotard become a very colourful fashion garment. This was emphasized by an increase in the popularity of aerobics which aided the ever-increasing popularity of the leotard. Through the 1980s the leotard continued to be worn for exercise wear, and through the 1990s it became popular to wear the leotard as tops with jeans.
Today, the ballet leotard may not be a fashion accessory but it's still one of the most important pieces of dancewear for the dancer. The dancer is spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a new leotard. Many dancewear companies such as Bloch, Capezio and Roch Valley manufacture cheap ballet leotards to a very high quality. These companies have many years experience in producing very high quality dancewear for dancers of all abilities.
Over the years, the ballet leotard has developed into many different forms with countless colours, styles and cuts. The most basic is the tank leotard which has thick shoulder straps, is sleeveless and is close-fitting to the torso. This style is mainly used for dance classes or rehearsals and is one of the most popular leotard designs. Similarly, camisole and cap sleeve leotards are often used for rehearsals whereas long sleeved leotards are often considered to be more suitable for performances. Other leotards often used for performances are frilled and skirted. The frill or skirt is usually attached near the waist of the leotard. However, sometimes the skirt can originate from higher up the leotard such as on the Lyrical Dress whether the skirt originates from just under the bustline to create a light and airy feel to the garment.

Every home is enriched with sunlight and is well ventilated with breath taking interiors. Scenic views and affinity to nature also have an important standing in the construction.

The 6 Best Supplements for Fibromyalgia

How to Treat 4 Symptoms of Fibromyalgia
If you're looking for natural ways to fight the aches, stiffness and inflammation of fibromyalgia, supplements can be a powerful weapon against symptoms. From vitamin D to brown seaweed extract, an arsenal of tools can help reduce pain. Here, experts reveal what works and why...
If you're not including fibromyalgia-fighting supplements as part of your
pain-management regimen
, you could be missing out.
"The right supplements can help muscles relax, which leads to pain reduction, or even prevent pain altogether," says fibromyalgia expert Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D., director of the Fatigue & Fibromyalgia Practitioners Network and author
The Fatigue and Fibromyalgia Solution
But when you're standing in the supplement aisle, it's hard to figure out which live up to their hype.
Read on for expert advice on the top 6 supplements for relieving fibro pain and other symptoms.
1. Vitamin D
The "sunshine vitamin" isn't only good for building bones.
It can help fight fibro pain and fatigue, too, according to a 2014 study published in the journal
For the study, 30 women with fibromyalgia – who were also deficient in vitamin D – were divided into two groups. The treatment group received oral vitamin D supplements for 20 weeks. The control group received a placebo.
Starting after just one week, the treatment group showed improved physical functioning, had less morning fatigue than the placebo group and reported a marked reduction in pain.
The body produces vitamin D when skin is directly exposed to the sun – our best source. But some people don't produce enough of the nutrient, according to the National Institutes of Health. These include women who are older, dark-skinned or obese.
People with certain disorders, including celiac or Crohn's disease – as well as those who aren't exposed to ample sunlight (or who wear sunscreen) – are also likely to be deficient. (Read about
11 natural remedies for Crohn's management.
Because few foods contain vitamin D, swallowing supplements is the easiest way to ensure you get enough.
The government's daily recommendation of vitamin D is 600 international units (IU) for anyone 1 to 70 years old, and 800 IU for people 71 and up – to a maximum of 4,000 IU per day, according to the National Institutes of Health.
But ask your doctor how much you should take to combat your fibro symptoms.
2. Fish Oil
Thanks to its omega-3 fatty acids, fish oil has terrific anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce fibro pain.
It reduces the body's production of inflammatory hormones (prostaglandins), says Nehad Soloman, M.D., a board-certified rheumatologist for Valley Arthritis Care in Arizona. And that may mean less stiffness or fewer tender joints.
Dr. Soloman suggests choosing a mercury-free brand (check the label), although fish oil supplements are considered safe.
Take 1 or 2 capsules (or 1 or 2 tablespoons) daily to reduce inflammation and boost your immunity, recommends the University of Maryland Medical Center. But check with your doctor first – especially if you take blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or warfarin (Coumadin).
3. SAMe
S-Adenosyl methionine, more commonly known as SAMe, is a synthetic form of a compound the body naturally produces.
We need it for proper immune function, and it plays a role in forming cartilage and our DNA, Dr. Soloman says.
As we age, our bodies produce less of it, which may explain the increased aches after your 40th birthday. Taking a SAMe supplement not only lessens chronic pain, it also can boost your spirits. These
5 other natural mood-lifters help too
"SAMe assists in the production and breakdown of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine – brain hormones that influence and regulate moods," Dr. Soloman says.
In fibro studies, the recommended dosing is 400 mg twice a day for six weeks, starting with a lower dose (about 200 mg daily) and increasing gradually to avoid stomach upset, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. But dosing varies by patient, so ask your doctor.
4. Ribose
Tight muscles are a common cause of fibro pain. To relax and release, muscles need energy, Dr. Teitelbaum says. And that's where ribose supplements come in.
Ribose, a simple sugar, can increase energy by an average of 61% – and cut the pain experienced by fibromyalgia sufferers by an average of 15.6%, according to a 2012 study Dr. Teitelbaum led, published in
The Open Pain Journal
"The energy-building benefit of ribose directly improved the debilitating symptoms of this condition," Dr. Teitelbaum says.
Dr. Teitelbaum recommends a 5 g dose three times a day.
5. Magnesium
This mineral is a major player in every body part.
Not only is it credited with keeping the heart, kidneys and bones strong, it also helps us avoid muscle spasms, weakness and back pain, Dr. Teitelbaum says.
Women with fibromyalgia may be deficient in magnesium, studies suggest. And magnesium may help
relieve fibro pain
and other symptoms.
For example, researchers from Ajou University School of Medicine in Korea analyzed hair samples from 166 women – including 44 with fibromyalgia. The hair from the fibromyalgia group contained significantly lower amounts of magnesium than that of the healthy women, according to the 2011 study.
Researchers at Acıbadem University Medical School in Istanbul, Turkey, also found that women diagnosed with fibromyalgia were likely to have "significantly lower" magnesium levels than women who didn't have the disorder. But those who then took 300 mg/day of magnesium citrate for 8 weeks reported a reduction of "tender points" and other fibromyalgia symptoms, according to their 2013 study.
Magnesium is found in green leafy vegetables, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, 100% wheat bran cereal and raw spinach.
But these foods are a good source only if you eat them raw. Half of the minerals' benefits are lost when cooked.
Normal daily recommended dosage for adult women is 280 to 300 mg per day, taken with meals, says the Mayo Clinic.
But if you have kidney disease or are taking medication, talk to your doctor before taking magnesium. Magnesium can interact with certain medications, including high blood pressure medicines and antibiotics, the University of Maryland Medical Center says.
6. Brown Seaweed Extract
You may not be familiar with these capsules, but this supplement is one to look for.
"It's showing great promise in the fight against chronic pain," Dr. Soloman says.
In fact, taking 1,000 mg of brown seaweed extract daily can
reduce joint pain and stiffness
by 52%, according to a 2011 study from Australia's Centre of Health and Wellbeing, published in the journal
Even better: These benefits kicked in after just one week, so you don't have to wait long to find out if it's working for you.
Supplement Smarts
Check with your doctor before taking these or other supplements.
"Like prescription drugs, it's possible to take too much. And many supplements have side effects," says David Pisetsky M.D., Ph.D., a professor of immunology at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C.
Questions to ask your doctor include:
1. What's the right dosage for me?
2. Should I take it with food?
3. What time of day should I take it?
4. Will this supplement interact badly with my prescriptions?
5. Does it have side effects that might mimic or aggravate my fibro symptoms (such as depression or sleep difficulties)?

Current goal: To continue to find ways to cut costs and improve operations as the interiors division continues to go through a restructuring period.
James Kamsickas grew up in Saginaw, received a bachelor's degree in production and operations management from Michigan State University in 1989, and joined Southfield-based Lear Corp. shortly after.
"I had a dream of being a plant manager one day, and it evolved into this," Kamsickas said.
Kamsickas, who has been a vice president since he was 32, describes Lear as a corporate culture where young, hard-working executives willing to "move faster than the average bear" are given a chance to prove themselves.
Kamsickas currently oversees eight senior managers and 27 plant managers in Lear's North American interior systems division.
Kamsickas was given that responsibility in 2004 and has managed, for the most part, to hold his management team together during a period of extreme uncertainty.
Automotive interior suppliers are under siege from rising raw-material prices and declining customer volumes.
Lear's interior division is not profitable and, for about a year, Lear has been exploring the possibility of combining its interiors division in a joint venture with New York City financier Wilbur Ross.
Despite those challenges, Lear President and COO Douglas DelGrosso credits Kamsickas with motivating Lear's leadership team to stick together during the difficult times.
Kamsickas has also overseen the closure of three plants as well as $90 million in cost cuts last year and is on track to cut an additional $100 million in costs this year.
Globally, Lear's interior division accounted for about $3.1 billion of Lear's $17.1 billion in 2005 revenue.

Fear The "E-Hookah"

Posted to: Health
Joe Camel lives on in rainbow-colored, fruit-flavored "e-hookahs" designed to lure kids into unhealthy habits, a U.S. senator warned in a visit to town.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal invoked Joe, the '90s-era cartoon mascot of Camel cigarettes, during a Monday morning press conference at Career high school on Legion Avenue. Blumenthal joined U.S. Rep. Rosa Delauro and other officials to sound the alarm about the dangers of e-hookahs, also known as "vape pipes" or "hookah pens."
Like Joe Camel, who eventually got run out of the marketing business by regulators and public-health experts, candy-flavored e-hookahs are an attempt to push nicotine products on kids, Blumenthal warned. He said he is experiencing "déjà vu."
E-hookahs are identical in function to e-cigarettes, devices which deliver vaporized nicotine to users—like cigarettes without the smoke. Despite the similarities, e-hookahs are often marketed differently, not as cigarette substitutes but simply as flavorful novelties. E-hookah marketing also often involves bright colors and flavors like "mango peach paradise" and "vanilla cupcake."
Children and teenagers tend to view e-hookahs as something different from e-cigarettes—and safer, if not harmless.
You can buy e-hookahs at any age; you don't have to be 18.
Blumenthal and others argued Monday that e-hookahs are aimed at children, and can hook kids on nicotine. On their own, the devices are bad for kids' health, and then can also lead to dangerous tobacco products, Blumenthal said.
He and others called upon President Barack Obama to have the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) implement regulations that would prevent the sale and marketing of e-hookahs to minors.
Staff at Fantasia, a California supplier of e-hookahs, declined to comment. Other e-hookah companies couldn't be reached for comment.
Many children and teenagers said they consider e-hookahs different from e-cigarettes, Blumenthal said. "They are pitched to kids, luring them into lifetimes of addiction and disease."
The devices are a "gateway" to tobacco products, Blumenthal said.
Some people advocate e-cigarettes as a way for smokers to wean themselves off of cigarettes, a good alternative because they don't have the smoke and tar of cigarettes.
Whether e-cigarettes help people stop smoking is debatable, Blumenthal said. "But marketing to kids helps them start."
Children who use e-cigarettes are six times more likely to go on to cigarettes, Blumenthal said.
Blumenthal called on the president to issue regulations written by the FDA: "All he has to do is pull the trigger." He said that the regulations' delay is due to "industry resistance."
"It's called 'regulatory capture,'" he said. "Big tobacco is capturing Washington D.C."
"We need to have a new education process," said DeLauro (pictured). Children aren't aware of the dangers of e-hookah, partly because of the marketing, she said.
"The packaging is just brilliant," she said. "It really is very slick."
Benjamin Toll (pictured), head of smoking cessation at Smilow Cancer Hospital, said he advises adults trying to quit smoking to try nicotine patches before using e-cigarettes. But people under 18 should not be touching e-cigarettes, he said. Although they have fewer toxins than cigarettes, any toxins are bad for children.
Will Clark, the Board of Ed's chief of operations, said e-cigarettes are banned in all New Haven public schools.
"There's no question that kids are less available to learn when they are not healthy," he said.
The school board is already working to address health problems like obesity among students, Clark said. "This is just another assault on that population."

Hmmm, no flowers from DeLauro's office ??
For $7500 you would think that would cover every press conference she attends and more.

Applying cigarette rules and bans to vaporizers is a solution searching for a problem. E-cigarettes are a billion times healthier than regular cigarettes, and real cigarettes are a lot more enjoyable. I can't imagine anyone deliberately picking up vaping; there is no head rush, you don't feel it, and it's an expensive habit that doesn't give you much of anything. Let's get smoking down to something you rarely see and then worry about vaping.

Day three of my experiment is already here. So far, it has been fairly easy to not spend any money. However, I have had to make a few changes in my daily routines. Here is what has been different so far:
Going Out On Tuesdays
I normally go out on Tuesdays for some wings and beer and a local bar. However, I passed it up last night for the experiment. What I realized is that I didn't even miss it that much and saved like 25 dollars. That's 100 dollars a month in savings by not going out one day a week.
Instead, I ate dinner at home and made a good ol' Sailor Jerry and coke. I had just as much fun sitting at home than I would of at the bar.
Renting Movies From Blockbuster
Another thing I tend to do is rent movies from Blockbuster. For some reason I have been on a renting movie kick the last few weeks and it is expensive. A new release is like 5 dollars and 3 a week is another 120 dollars a month. A big waste of money if you ask me.
Instead, I have started to watch some of my own movies that I forgot about. I normally work on my computer while I am watching them so it really doesn't matter which one I am watching. If I want to watch a new release, I watch it from a different "source."
Wanting To Spend
Now that I have stopped spending, I have been having more urges to go out and buy something. For example, I looked in the fridge and realized we only have one soda left. The next thing I know, I just want to rollerblade to the gas station and buy some.
Hopefully the urges stay small like this otherwise it will be a lot harder to tolerate them. I just keep reminding myself it's only 7 days. It's not like I am giving up food for 7 days or something crazy like that.
Other Than That
The week has been the same as usual. The weekend is getting closer and closer which is my main concern. My monthly spending on entertainment is normally spent between Friday and Sunday. That will be the real test but it needs to be done if I want to make it til Monday when the experiment ends.
Wish me luck!

I am a bit bothered IF I SHOULD IMPose on the students that they should stand up and formally say GOODBYE TEACHER...SEE YOU NEXT TIME...
IS this really important? Thai teachers are very strict on this - should I be also?
For me it is ok that they just sit and say their goodbyes in whatever form they want. This is one way for them to feel casual about me and my class.
Any comments?
SHOULD I IMPOSE OR just let them be?
i've told my older kids not to bother. it's unnatural and uncomfortable to me and they're nigh on adults so it's silly for them.
the younger ones, yeah, i go through the routine with them. it's dumb but i think routines are very important with younger/troublesome/bigger classes.
well if the school insists you do it, then do it. if they don't then it's up to you...SHOULD I IMPOSE OR just let them be?
"...ever wonder why they kill the weak ones, baby?"
I agree with Unwell. M5 onwards, just fucking say something pleasant, using your own brain and feelings.
M3 down, I own you...
I'm everywhere you've never been and better than I've ever been
Yeah, I only get that feeling with my M4 students. With my M1 and M2 - I always ask them to stand.
May be a mistake but I'm not into to the "class, please stand up, good morning teacher" routine. Or the class please stand up, etc...see you next time...
and that goes for M1-M6
It's pointless, mindless and just re-inforces some sort of military discipline that the Thais will eventually realize is an impediment to independant thought. It's mindless activity. It's mindless, serves no purpose other than to re-inforce the idea that they are part of some larger unit.
As soon as they stand up I just tell them to sit down and say "good morning everyone" The last thing I want to really hear from every single indivual's lips is "I am fine, and you?"
May be the thai way, but I ain't Thai. :smile:
I haven's been challenged on this and think it unlikely that I will be.
When being run out of town, get in front of the crowd and make it appear like a parade.
In you experience, how many Thais ever actually reach this realisation?It's pointless, mindless and just re-inforces some sort of military discipline that the Thais will eventually realize is an impediment to independant thought.
Excuse me for not taking this seriously .....

I'm an optimist by nature.
I agree with russellsimpson. I don't care at the P6 level. I'm American and we don't do that kind of thing in America, so I am not comfortable with it. I have no problem if the students want to do it (some do), and I am not being critical of Thai practices; being an American I give them some exposure to American practices, which is not a bad thing (despite what some might think) .
...i don't go in for that bullshit...but i do expect them to be in their seats and ready when i come in...

x5 every day . It gets old, sure, but I fine it's a good way to establish some level of attention. However, at my school routine and military style discipline are big (the school is connected to the Thai Navy) so I wouldn't think to try an change the tradition. The Thai teachers would really balk.Matthew: Listen to your leader, please!
Leader: Please stand up!
Students: Good morning/afternoon teacher!!!!!
M: Good morning/afternoon, class. How are you today?
Ss: I'm fine, thank you. And you????
M: I'm fine, thank you. Sit down, please.
Ss: Thank you, teacher!

Both my govt. schools had 75 years or more of tradition, and for English classes, that intro was so standard, it was mandatory.
And youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?
The finale, however, turned out to be less mandatory. Usually I just pointed to the class leader and said "Okay, we're finished now." Today, I might say, "Set lao." Besides, the finale is shorter.
Civilians in Thailand are far more militaristic sometimes, than the United States Air Force was in the 1960's.
If I ask my kids how they're doing and they say fine, I pull out my whiteboard marker and mark their hand. I make sure they know plenty of other expressions of how they're feeling, and the memorized "fine" just irks me. I also don't go in for the monotone greetings and goodbyes, I think it just reinforces the tuning out and tuning off that seems so inherent in kids, well, anyone, but I'm here to teach these ones, so I care about them being mindless drones or being thinking beings.
Last year I dropped the greeting and goodbye routine and the discipline went out of the window. They took longer to settle into the class and left ina rabble . I agree with matthew, it gets their attention and they settle down alot faster without having to raise my voice. I will not do the same thing this year.
I suppose it depends at which level you're teaching. Enjoy, I am presuming you are teaching at a pre-Matayon level.
It sould never really be about control. In my mind that's for the military. I don't care if the students fuck around in the class before the lesson starts, so what. It's their time, as long as their behaviour is reasonable, no problem.
When the lesson ends they can parachute out the window if they feel so inclined.
I have met teachers who insist that students line up before leaving class.
Naw, it's about respect, not control. If the students respect you you will never need to employ rigid disciplinary measure. If you do, you'll never really know how they feel about you. Let's make the classroom a natural environment, not some pre-military training encounter.
It just ain't about a battle for "control". :smile:

When choosing a Cloud computing option, it's important you understand that there are a few different types of clouds you can choose from. Understanding their capabilities is important to finding the right cloud service for your needs. In this blog post, we'll discuss the differences between the three different cloud computing options: public, private, and hybrid.
Public Clouds
For a public cloud, the service and infrastructure of the cloud is hosted off-site over the Internet. A public cloud is great for collaborating online with multiple peers. However, many IT professionals are concerned over the security of these clouds as the service is hosted off-site (giving them less control), and cloud security breaches are becoming more and more common.
Private Clouds
With a private cloud, the services and infrastructure are maintained on a (usually on-site) private network. A private cloud is more expensive than a public cloud. However, it gives your IT department much more control over who accesses the cloud and how. A private cloud is perfect for larger companies that must adhere to strict security and data privacy regulations.
Hybrid Clouds
A hybrid cloud allows you to choose which aspects of the cloud are public and which are private by picking and choosing services from different providers. This is a good option for companies who are interested in using the cloud with clients, as it allows you to make some data public to those clients, while keeping the rest of the data you have in the cloud private.
No matter which cloud you choose, make sure that you are consistently monitoring the security of your data and accessing that data with secure tools and apps. To learn more about accessing data from whichever cloud you saved it in, check out our 30 day free trial of TappIn Pro.

Reviews for Kielbasa Chili
Sort By :
"It was easy and delicious. I had all the ingredients in my pantry except the olives. I don't think leaving them out affected the taste that much. I will definitely make it again."
"I am always looking for a new kielbasa recipe so I was pleased to find this one. I took the suggestion of one of the writers and sauteed the sausage with onions and garlic. instead of the two cans of tomatoes I also used one can of Rotel. I simmered on low for a couple of hours. I added the corn and olives after simmering. I also added about a teaspoon of corn starch to slightly thicken the sauce. I let it set in the fridge overnight to enhance the flavors. The next day it was delicious. I look forward to finding more new interesting recipes."
"Quick, easy and a husband pleaser! Just added onion, garlic and subbed the Rotel for one can tomatoes. YUM!"
"Made this for dinner tonight with turkey polish kielbasa and added the spices that one reviewer suggested. Delish for a weeknight meal!!"
"This actually was really good, just spiced it up,
Added, chili powder, garlic salt, minced onions...an cumin, let it simmer for an hour!!Everyone loved it"

A BlackBerry Playbook TV spot recently aired in North America and the 30-second spot showed off some of the features differentiating the Playbook from other tablets. The ad places a big emphasis multitasking, desktop-like browsing and portability.
The browsing experience seems to always be the star of the show, probably because Flash is the most obvious missing feature from the iPad. They've been showcasing Vimeo to show that the browser is capable of running Flash video just like a desktop browser. Also, it's not just Flash, but Flash 10.2 which supports Stage Video.

ABC's Tom Johnson from New York:
Are there times in life when you're excused from normal traffic rules? Is it ever OK to speed? To run a red light?
In Dallas, NFL player Ryan Moats, a Texans running back, may have found himself in one of those situations. Only a Dallas police officer didn't see it that way.
Moats was racing his wife to a hospital in Plano, Texas, after receiving a call from doctors saying that her mother was dying. The hospital said there was little time to spare.
In the early morning hours, Moats reportedly was speeding, came up to a red light and drove through it. A Dallas police officer spotted the violation and pulled him over in the hospital parking lot. The heated exchange that ensued was caught on the officer's dashboard camera. Our Dallas affiliate WFAA obtained the footage.
Moats' wife got out the car and began to head into the hospital.
"Get in there," the officer yelled to Tanisha Moats, directing her back to the car. "Let me see your hands."
"Excuse me, my mom is dying," she said, "do you understand?"
The officer asked Ryan Moats for insurance, which Moats couldn't produce.
"Listen, if I can't verify you have insurance…" the officer began. "My mother-in-law is dying," Moats exclaimed.
The officer: "Shut your mouth." "You can either settle down and cooperate or I can just take you to jail for running a red light."
Moats' wife made it in time to see her mother just before she passed away. Moats and his wife's father did not.
Their interaction with the officer cost them 20 minutes. 20 critical minutes. The officer has been placed on desk duty and Dallas police have apologized to the family.

El Cigala, Flamenco Legend in the Making, Plays the Gusman Center Tonight
Categories: Concert Preview
A few of the old guard still perform, like Paco de Lucia, and other, younger artists are forming a new generation of flamenco greats.
Case in point: Diego El Cigala, who's probably best known for his work with one of Cuba's living legends, 85-year-old pianist Bebo Valdes. The two released Lagrimas Negras together in 2003, a brilliant fusion of flamenco's fiery vocal style with the tropical sway of Cuba's piano. The collaboration won them a Grammy, three Premios de la Música, an Ondas Award, and five Amigo Awards, not to mention three platinum albums in Spain and one each in Argentina, Mexico, and Venezuela.
El Cigala arrives in Miami tonight to play the Gusman Center, and to do what he does best -- take that traditional flamenco vibe, and respectfully rework it. This time he's giving tango the business. At least that's the word about his upcoming new album, from which this performance should feature some material. Tickets go for $30 to $70.

They work collaboratively to set the direction for a school community committed to and focused on learning.
