I have been trying to make flowers for Mother's Day corsages, but had not thought about how I was going to put them together. I guess I thought I'd figure that out when I got that far. Now I don't have to worry! It's all right here! Thanks so much.
TOO CUTE!!! added these darling flowers to each sq. in the "toddler quilts" that I made for my grand daughters. Too Cute !
I absolutely vote for this one! Just beautiful, and easy, too! And so versatile as well. You can be really creative with this, and use different colors (tho' I love these colors), and you could even mix these crocheted roses with some ribbon roses--the sky's the limit! Thank ya'll for all of your good patterns and accurate directions--I come to your website whenever I need more crochet inspiration!
Very pretty. Can be used in so many ways - as a hair ornament or pinned on a purse or tote, on a sweater, on a dress...or even to top a birthday present instead of a bow. I could picture a vase full of these in my craft room.

First of all I would like to ask that you do not up or down vote this post for a singular idea, just the overall idea. If you think any of these specifics are worth mentioning please make a voicing your agreement or disagreement with what I think. Also please remember, these changes are for balance so that people can actually take the mode more seriously. So let me start by saying that I think a lot of dominions balance issues can be fixed by balancing items. However it is a delicate balance and should be done with care. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First item I would like to bring up is Lord Van Damm's Pillager. Please do not bring this item over, I know a lot of people talk about it being brought over and I understand why, I love that item but I honestly feel AD bruisers/casters are already the most important and prominent class in dominion. Yes I well balanced team can beat a team full of them, but they are the leading force in almost every game of dominion I play when they are there. Next I would like to say that overlord's bloodmail is perfect and should be brought over. However I believe if it is frozen mallet should be removed, it again is an item I love but I feel it is far to powerful an item, and the only item I hear getting consistantly bashed for being too strong. Before I didn't want it to be removed dispite having entropy because it was one of the few good health items left. However with the introduction of a bloodmail alternative I think that it would be a mistake not to make these changes. Next I will mention Wooglet's Witch Cap and simply say this would be great for dominion. Next I'll mention blackfire torch, again please do not add. I feel this item is a great bonus for many tanks, but I feel if we give them many more items that they will become the new AD bruiser/casters of dominion, only more frustrating because they will be even harder to kill. And as a general idea I think a new inexpensive item or two for mages would be good (Still keeping Wooglet's Witch Cap in mind). I also feel like AD carries are still important but not as quite as optimal as they could be. I feel like like bringing back Stark's Fervor (or something closer to it's power level and with similar attributes) instead of Zeke's Herald would be a healthy step for dominion, and one or two other things and I would be satisfied that those roles were a little more secure.

FMS Best of Show
SKYERA Selected by FLASH MEMORY SUMMIT 2012 as A BEST OF SHOW Award Winner
Recognized for Most Innovative Flash Memory Enterprise Business Application
Flash Memory Summit 2012, Santa Clara, Calif. – August 23, 2012 – Skyera announced that its skyHawk enterprise solid-state storage system has been chosen by the Flash Memory Summit as a Best of Show award winner for 2012 in the category of Most Innovative Flash Memory Enterprise Business Application. The annual Best of Show Awards is the premier opportunity for industry recognition of innovative products and solutions, and how they are being used in the marketplace.
Skyera's enterprise solid-state storage system is based entirely on 19/20 nanometer consumer Multi Level Cell (MLC) NAND Flash at a system price of less than $3 per gigabyte before compression and deduplication. The compact half-depth 1u form factor sports a staggering 44 terabytes of high performance, low latency native capacity for the most demanding Big Data, analytics and virtualization applications. It was designed from the ground up to incorporate the most innovative technology available to yield the 100 times life amplification required to achieve enterprise reliability and endurance requirements.
"Our participation at Flash Memory Summit has been quite the coming-out party for our skyHawk enterprise solid-state storage system and to have it named as the Most Innovative Flash Memory Enterprise Business Application at the Best of Show Awards is certainly the icing on the cake," said Radoslav Danilak, Skyera CEO. "We have worked hard preparing skyHawk to revolutionize the mainstream enterprise solid-state storage market and this award further validates our efforts in delivering next-generation performance and density at a price point equivalent to spinning disk."
Winning products were judged by a panel of industry experts who evaluated each nomination according to the following criteria:
- Distinctiveness of the application, technology, or product
- Central use of flash memory as a solution or innovation
- Technical and business significance to the general marketplace
"Enterprise flash memory technology is constantly seeking to break new ground of innovation in order to deliver lower levels of latency, higher levels of scalability and increased overall endurance which translates into next generation solid state storage solutions that achieve accelerated adoption in the marketplace," said Jay Kramer, Chairman of the Awards Program and President of Network Storage Advisors Inc. "We are proud to select Skyera skyHawk for the Best of Show Award as it brings to the marketplace a new level of innovation and price/performance for flash memory technology that has the capability of making flash memory mainstream for general purpose storage solutions."
About Skyera
Skyera Inc. is an emerging provider of enterprise solid-state storage systems designed to enable a large class of applications with extraordinarily high performance, exceptionally lower power consumption at the lowest cost relative to existing enterprise storage systems. Founded by the executives who previously developed the world's most-advanced flash memory controller, Skyera is backed by key technology and financial partnerships designed to position it at the forefront of the hyper growth in the solid state storage sector. The company was featured in the Gartner report "Cool Vendors in Storage Technologies, 2012."

The Chevrolet Bison (and similar GMC General) were heavy-duty Class 8 trucks made by General Motors between 1977 and 1988. The Bison & General were both conventional rigs. Diesel engine choices included Caterpillar, Cummins and Detroit Diesel powerplants. Available transmissions were Allison Transmission, spicer and eaton transmissions
The Chevrolet Bison was introduced in 1976, eventually replacing the heavy duty Series 70, 80, and 90 trucks. The GMC General was released simultaneously and eventually replaced the GMC HM-Series and JH-Series heavy-duty trucks. The Bison was available from 1977-1980.[1] Chevrolet exited the Heavy Duty Class 8 Truck Market in 1980. GMC continued to build the General until 1988.

The love and companionship of a pet is incomparable, as anyone who has ever had pets surely knows. A pet can ease the loneliness of seniors who live at home or in assisted living; as a result, many senior living communities have integrated pet therapy programs, have amended their policies to allow residents to have pets (within certain limitations), or have adopted a "community" pet (dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, birds) whose company the staff, residents and visitors can enjoy.
Sadly, dementia or other age-related limitations (diminished sight/failing vision, mobility challenges, forgetfulness) may steal the joy of having a pet. This article from Agingcare.com speaks to the question: What Happens When Elders Can No Longer Care for Their Pets? Several options and recommendations are presented, including adopting the animal out to a friend or talking to the vet about assistance.
It's extremely difficult to separate a pet and his owner, but if your senior relative is forgetting to provide fresh water and food each day, leaving the door ajar, or falling behind on other things that could affect the animal's well-being, you may need to step in and suggest a plan B.
Whatever you decide, be sensitive to the difficulty of such a decision and proposed separation, particularly when the pet has been part of your loved one's life for years.

Her Packing List is the premier site for female packing and travel gear advice. Targeted to low-key female travelers, we help you pack what you need and leave what you don't.
Her Packing List was founded in late 2010 by Brooke Schoenman (of Brooke vs. the World) after positive feedback to the stories and advice provided in her monthly Female Travel Underground newsletter. At that point she knew there needed to be a resource targeted solely to female travel gear and minimalist packing advice.
Since then, Her Packing List has produced over 100 packing lists (for various countries and activities around the world), along with numerous backpack reviews, gear reviews, and posts containing solid female travel advice. With the help of her main team writer, Caroline Eubanks (of Caroline in the City), they plan to continue the growth of the site in 2014 with the addition of HPL products.
To get a better idea of what we're about, read The Female Travel Manifesto.
::: What People Are Saying :::
Just wanted to stop by and say how wonderfully resourceful I found Her Packing List!! My husband and I spent the holiday in Australia and New Zealand and found the recommendations accurate, and we were prepared for the variety of weather. We had the most spectacular holiday and loved we had room in our suitcases for more souvenirs since we did not over pack. I will be using you for our future adventures!! Thank you HPL!!
–Jayme Rosales-Speck
I'm in the process of planning a move to Europe and your site has been immensely helpful! You are awesome!
–Adventurous Andrea
I've completely changed my approach to packing when I travel because of your AWESOME site.
–Tatiana Warkentin
Your website has provided me with some very useful tips and a lot of food for thought. Thank you for helping me to make my trip the best it can be.
–Sherri Lee O'Brien
I just want you to know that my best friend and I are planning a cross-country road trip from Oregon to New York and back. We're going in two years, and I just wanted to say that this is the most useful website I've seen so far in regards to planning our trip and all the things we're going to need. I had never even heard of travel underwear until I clicked a link to this website on Pinterest! So I just wanted to say thank you, and we're probably going to be using a lot of your useful tips in planning our trip!
::: Her Packing List Team :::
Founder / Editor // Brooke Schoenman has an extensive backpacking knowledge, most of that as a solo female traveler. She spends most of her days dreaming about travel in the Former Soviet Union, and has actually lived in Kyrgyzstan, crossed Russia by train and taught English in Ukraine.

Brooke is joined by Caroline Eubanks and Katy McCourt-Basham to bring you even more great content!
Team Writer // Caroline Eubanks is a native of Atlanta, Georgia, but has also called Charleston, South Carolina and Sydney, Australia home. After college graduation and a series of useless part-time jobs, she went to Australia for a working holiday. In that time, she worked as a bartender, bungee jumped, scuba dived, pet kangaroos, held koalas and drank hundreds of cups of tea.
In addition to Her Packing List, you can find Caroline at Caroline in the City, follow her on Twitter and connect with her on Facebook.
Contributor // Katy McCourt-Basham hails from Seattle, Washington, and is a travel addict constantly seeking her next destination. Fresh off a two-month summer trip to Iceland and The Faroe Islands, she is now embarking on a year-long working holiday in Australia. Katy's future dream destinations include Southeast Asia, India, Scandinavia, and Antarctica.
When she isn't writing about plus-size travel and gear for Her Packing List, you can find Katy blogging about her travels at Six Bones and hanging on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.

Re: 2014 Street Glide in Charcoal Pearl
Well......the Indian went for a walk and hasn't been seen since.................do you get winters in the high 70 degrees in deepest Scotland...you know with all that global warming.....its just that the bike wont arrive till mid december.....suppose I could wear red leathers and a white beard while running it in.
Any way it has given me time to dig a deeper hole in my savings.
Bike will arrive with the old style Tour Pak (for respraying later), windsplitter screen, LED passing lamps, Kuryakin highway pegs, colour matched fairing lowers, mid frame air deflectors, rear saddlebag guards, rear speakers, reduced reach touring seat, passenger footboards and whatever upgrade there is so the intercom works.............oh ......and a chrome snowplough front end

Re: 2014 Street Glide in Charcoal Pearl
So................I have the bike at last and put 300 miles on it..............makes for interesting viewing ....as I use a piece of string to pull up the side stand every time... ...........cos if the wind is blowing it takes about 5 goes to loop the string over the end of the stand.....and thats with a 7'' lift in my boots !!!!..lol!!
Learned one thing.....do not try to manouvre a bike this big over gravel........ever heard of 'golfer's elbow'..well neither had I..............
Verdict very comfortable.............no head buffeting, very quiet....can rider with my visor up mostly.......brake pedal at a strange angle..............thought it was me until I read some posts on a US forum.....also even with thick soled boots I cannot flat foot this bike.(have reduced reach seat)....so plenty of parctice in a car park.....finding the clutch friction point and so on......brakes a bit ..grabby at first......easing now....clutch fierce compared too my Street Bob....better get one of those mountaineering thingies for left hand strengthening....feels it top heavy when 2 up.
Anyway its 'in' for some additions.....yes you guessed it.....a jiffy stand extension, .......Truck Lite LED Headlamp (with Frenched Ring - sounds a bit pornographic that), Zumo 660 GPS, CB Radio, Tank Console altered with Ultra bits so the 7 pin din is neat, Passenger Rider Intercom - debate about whether they can get the latter to work............cos they say it really needs a 2014 tour Pak with new speaker enclosures.....in total with the lights, luggage rack and seat rest that would be like £3500.............just to get the Intercom......get real).............I say just get the new switching an harnesses.....chop out the old speaker switches and fit the new............anyway we'll see soon enough

Dave on film: Family reunions, big and small
Reviews of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and "Moon"
Dave TaylorWe¹re into the summer doldrums, the heat of July -- and the promise of more heat and late afternoon thunderstorms -- for at least the next few weeks before we move into the respite of autumn. It¹s a great time to go to a nice air-conditioned theater: The studios know this, which is why there are a lot of good films coming out right now.
This week I¹m talking about two movies, one of which will doubtless be a top-10 grosser for 2009, and one that¹s a splendid little indie sci-fi film that makes up in thought-provoking storyline what it lacks in big-budget explosions and special effects.
"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"
Six films into the Harry Potter series, it seems like Harry (played by Daniel Radcliffe) and his two pals Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) are old friends. Turning the books into films has been a tricky task, however, and each film has had its own distinctive personality, with a number of different directors involved, from Chris Columbus (HP1 and HP2) to Alfonso Cuarón (HP3), Mike Newell (HP4) and David Yates (HP5 and HP6).
The overall story has flowed beautifully from discovery to recognition of danger to the desire - and growing ability - to fight the growing darkness in author J.K. Rowling's fictional world. The ultimate struggle is about good versus evil, good as embodied in Harry, Hermione and Ron. Evil is personified by the undead dark wizard Voldemort and his followers, known collectively as the Death Eaters.
In "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," Harry finds himself in the potions class of Professor Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent) at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and auspiciously finding an old potions textbook with extensive corrections and additional scribbled notes that help him become a star pupil. The book is inscribed "Property of the Half-Blood Prince" and the question the film explores is the identity of this prince.
I really enjoyed The Half-Blood Prince and found that its look and style was lush, complex, at times astonishing and overall a world that had as much fun and whimsy as terrifying dark magic. While there's lots of magic, most of the story focuses on the magic of the adolescent heart, however, and much of what unfolds seems to be about boy longs for girl, girl likes other boy, boy doesn't notice girl, etc., etc. You know, adolescence.
In fact, one of the challenges with "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is that perhaps too much of its 153-minute running time is taken up with adolescent love and romance, to the point where sometimes it seems like the dramatic events are almost incidental to, say, Lavender Brown (played entertainingly by Jessie Cave) getting all lovey-dovey over Ron.
Right from the get-go, Yates gives us a sense of the roller-coaster of this film, with a remarkable opening sequence of the Death Eaters wreaking havoc in contemporary "muggle" London. The scene when we're flying at very high speed down the streets of London are terrific and almost gave me a sense of vertigo. It's very powerful. Then that cuts to Harry having a cup of tea at a very non-magical café in an underground train station and being picked up by a lovely girl who works there.
I also want to mention two particularly good performances: Helena Bonham Carter is already an accomplished actor, but she outdoes herself as the unhinged, dangerous, death eater Bellatrix Lestrange. She's wacked and every time she shows up, you know that trouble's not far behind. I've also been a long-time fan of Evanna Lynch's portrayal of the weird and spacey Luna Lovegood, who proves time and again to be a faithful friend to Harry, even if everyone else in the film thinks she's odd and makes fun of her.
Is it appropriate for children under 10? Most of it is, but there are definitely a few scenes of great drama, frightening imagery and loud sound effects that might well overwhelm a younger child. Definitely less so once it's on DVD, of course, but I suggest that unless your younger children are battle-hardened that this one might be a pass for them, however disappointed they may be.
Imagine you've screwed up your life enough that you need to make a dramatic, huge change. For Sam Bell (played brilliantly by Sam Rockwell), that break involves being shipped to the far side of the moon by Lunar Industries, Inc. to work solo on a Helium-3 (HE3) mining facility.
"Moon" starts out with Sam only having two weeks left on Mining Base Sarang before his three-year contract is up. Keeping Sam company is the GURTY 3000 computer system (voiced by Kevin Spacey), one of many homages to the brilliant "2001: A Space Odyssey." Unlike the abstract red eye of the HAL 9000, however, GURTY is a big ugly box with a small video screen that displays bright yellow smiley faces and has a "kick me" post-it stuck to its back.
Two weeks? How hard can it be to stick it out and survive his last two weeks of lunar work before he is shipped back to his beautiful wife Tess (Dominique McElligott) and young daughter Eve (Kaya Scodelario)? And yet, strange things keep happening and soon Sam's seeing himself when he looks elsewhere in the claustrophobically small station, then he has an accident while in a rover out servicing a Harvester and wakes up in the infirmary. But who brought him back?
There's so much about this film that I really liked, I'm not sure where to start. The space station is believably grungy without being the flying disaster of, say, Nostromo in "Alien," and there are many subtle elements of foreshadowing that are brilliant.
In many ways, "Moon" is a one-man show, a film that could almost be a stage play, as so much of it happens within the confines of Mining Base Sarang. That isn't to say that the exterior scenes aren't critical to the storyline, they are, and they look crisp and stark as we've learned to expect from the lunar surface.
Running just a bit more than 90 minutes, the film also unfolds slowly and with at least a few of what Hitchcock loved to call MacGuffin's, things that exist in the movie purely to deceive us into thinking we understand what's happening and why. I can't say more without spoiling the film, but you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it.
And, finally, that's my recommendation for this: Just go see it.

Bica do Sapato, Lisbon
Posted on: October 25, 2009 at 8:14PM
I was told to expect an expensive, mega-fashionable dockside establishment and for sure, this is the kind of place that end up in Wallpaper. You wont read three lines before the adjective über-trendy pops up. Well, I dont know about that. To me it feels more than just a little outdated, (a few Mihes van der Rohe chairs and Saarinen tables wont do) and worn out in the wrong sense of the word. On the good side: Its certainly not a stuffy place. Youre being taken care of by staff member who are almost cheerful. The kitchen kicks off with scallops. Not bad at all. But the rest of the meal is not exactly up to par. Then my dinner companion had white fish and mussels and got food poisoned. Thats the little golden stars getting ripped out of my book faster than you could say Malkovich.

USDA-backed biofuels plant in Soperton, Georgia has lost taxpayers nearly $60 millionWorse than Madoff? USDA biofuels investment goes bustBy Institute for Energy Research Friday, January 6, 2012WASHINGTON D.C.—UponreportsTuesday that a USDA-backed biofuels plant in Soperton, Georgia has lost taxpayers nearly $60 million,IER President Tom Pyleissued the following statement: "Apparently U.S. taxpayers have yet to discover life after Solyndra. Today's announcement that a USDA-backed biofuels plant has been sold for pennies on the dollar—at a loss of nearly $60 million to U.S. taxpayers—further underscores the point that the federal government should not be in the venture capital business. The Bush administration secured the Range Fuels loan, and the Obama administration doubled down on the bad investment. At this rate, Uncle Sam may be outpacing Bernie Madoff when it comes to fraudulent investment schemes and zeroed-out portfolios.The Department of Agriculture, like the Department of Energy, should be held accountable for this abusive waste of taxpayer money."

I promised I wouldn't comment on the Jackson trial because I'm sick of hearing about it. But now that the jury is on parade, I'm struck by the comments of the jury foreman, Ray Hultman:
Jurors may have acquitted Jackson of all charges of molesting a 13-year-old cancer survivor, but not all of them were convinced the King of Pop had never molested a child.
… Prosecutors presented testimony about Jackson's allegedly improper relationships with several boys in the early 1990s, including the son of a maid who testified that Jackson molested him during tickling session between 1987 and 1990. Another, Brett Barnes, took the stand to deny that he was molested during sleepovers at Neverland.
But Hultman said he believed it was likely that both boys had been molested. He said he voted to acquit Jackson in the current case because he had doubts about his current accuser's credibility.
"That's not to say he's an innocent man," Hultman, 62, said of Jackson.
Did Tom Sneddon just try the wrong case, or was the jury just starstruck?

Although the molecular basis of Huntington's Disease (HD) is not fully understood it has been postulated that inhibition of caspase-6 activity may prove to be neuroprotective in HD. Crystal structures of the enzyme in its active conformation would be a huge advantage for the design of caspase-6-specific inhibitors. This application note from TTP Labtech describes the use of the mosquito® Crystal to screen for and optimize crystallization conditions to obtain the structure of caspase-6 in its active state and a caspase-6 inhibitor complex, consisting of caspase-6 and the non-specific and irreversible caspase inhibitor, Z-VAD-FMK. The reproducibility and accuracy of mosquito Crystal during primary screen set-up and optimization studies were crucial to obtaining well-diffracting crystals from a limited amount of sample in a time-efficient way.

The people of Myanmar should learn from the political unrest in Thailand that conflict can be resolved through negotiation, National League for Democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi said on December 9.
"We want the best for our country and choose the peaceful way through all-inclusive negotiations," Daw Aung San SuuKyi said at Yangon International Airport before leaving for Qatar.
Her comment was echoed by political analyst U Kyaw Lin Oo who said Myanmar could learn from the situation in Thailand that confrontation can be averted by negotiation and compromise.
"Pre-emptive action, such as cooperation among ourselves to find a political solution, will ensure we do not encounter a similar situation in Myanmar," U Kyaw Lin Oo said.
Referring to the differing opinions among political groups in Myanmar over the issue of amending the constitution, he said all stakeholders should negotiate and be prepared to compromise to reach an acceptable solution "before tensions rise".
Following weeks of anti-government protests in Bangkok, Prime Minister YingluckShinawatra announced on December 9 that she was dissolving parliament ahead of a general election on February 2.
Another political analyst, Dr Yan Myo Thein, said praised the Thai premier's decision to call for fresh elections despite the governing Pheu Thai Party having a clear majority in parliament.
"This is an exemplary decision and Myanmar should learn from it," Dr Yan Myo Thein said.

Used New Investor Funds to Pay Off Earlier Investors, Committing Wire Fraud and Money Laundering
JOSEPH C. LAVIN, 42, of Woodinville, Washington, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Seattle to 54 months in prison, 3 years of supervised release, and $11.6 million in restitution for Wire Fraud and Money Laundering in connection with an investment fraud scheme. LAVIN operated a series of investment funds known as the Global Asset Management Short Term Fund, Medium Fund, and Long Term Fund. The funds were offered to high wealth investors by a company LAVIN established in 2001, Global Asset Partners, LLC. LAVIN claimed investments in the funds were backed by assets such as foreign currency, bonds or liens, and were making consistent, high rates of return. In fact, investors' money was used for LAVIN's personal expenses, to pay off earlier investors or to invest in business ventures that had not been approved by investors. The amount of fraud is estimated at $13,000,000. At sentencing Chief U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik noted, "it was not just money that was lost, but people's hopes, people's dreams, people's lives."
LAVIN pleaded guilty on November 2, 2007. He admitted that over the course of the fraud he made numerous fraudulent representations. LAVIN claimed the funds would make between 1.5 and
2.5 percent each month, and he claimed in written materials that he would only be compensated if the fund exceeded these targeted returns. LAVIN represented to investors that he was an accomplished financial executive who was responsible for having consistently earned for many years returns in excess of 2% per month in the Funds. In fact, LAVIN was not a successful financial executive and entrepreneur. In 1998, he had filed for personal bankruptcy. LAVIN also never made the promised targeted returns. LAVIN obtained $13 million from 176 investors. Prosecutors dubbed LAVIN's fraud "a garden-variety ponzi scheme" that payed off early investors with money from later investors.
The victims who spoke at sentencing talked about losing their life's savings to LAVIN. In one case $1.9 million, money the couple had planned to use for an early retirement. "You took advantage of honest, trusting people," Joanne Lake told LAVIN. "You lived your high life at other people's expense."
Victim Robert Garneau told the court how LAVIN had taken 30 years of his savings. "My years of hard work have been erased and my dreams have been shattered," Mr. Garneau said. "The emotional hell will linger making me unable to trust any financial planner."
Some of LAVIN's supporters asked Chief Judge Lasnik to forego a prison sentence. Judge Lasnik rejected that option saying the victims "were not sophisticated investors who lost money they could not afford to lose. Some lost their health, some lost their trust in other people.... They thought Joe Lavin was a good Christian man." Judge Lasnik noted that LAVIN's fraud had damaged relationships between parents and children, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters. "This is real damage to real lives," Judge Lasnik said.
The case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) and the FBI. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Katheryn Kim Frierson and Carl Blackstone.

Minor Irrigation Minister T. G. Venkatesh has expressed himself against any proposal by the Congress high command to carve out a "Rayala-Telangana" State.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, he, however, hastened to say that he would not fight with the high command if Rayala-Telangana State was formed but would make efforts to convince the leadership on its negative impact.
A known integrationist and leader of Rayalaseema Aikya Vedika, the Minister termed "unjust and unfair," any proposal to divide Andhra Pradesh.
If the State continued as it was now, all regions would benefit equally in all respects.
Rayalaseema was the most backward region in the State, he said, referring to the Sri Krishna Committee report.

Home Birth vs. Hospital Birth: YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT, PEOPLE
Posted by Cristen Pascucci on Feb 17, 2014 in Articles | 67 commentsLately, with the publication of data on almost 17,000 planned American home births, the "home birth debate" has been reignited, sparking all kinds of conversation – some polarizing, some rational, and everything in the middle. A glaring oversight I see in this conversation, though, is that, while statistics are helpful, what's most important to families making decisions about where to give birth is what is safest for each woman and her baby, in their unique circumstances.
The variability in options and quality of care across the country is stunning. In Southern California, a low-risk woman might have access to several high-quality hospitals, a lovely birth center, and a dozen respected midwives who enjoy good relationships with the local medical community. This woman has the luxury of considering what large data sets may say about the optimal location for her birth.
But this is not reality for too many American women. For them, options may look more like this:
These are the hard choices real women are faced with. We hear from them at ImprovingBirth.org every day. They are not making purely statistical calculations among sterilized ideals of birth locations. They are making difficult, individual analyses among limited options – and among providers who practice very differently.
Recently, someone asked why a woman might choose to give birth outside of a hospital, and I replied, "Because I am less afraid of my body than I am of non-evidence-based hospital protocols."
I truly don't know if I would choose a home birth, but I do know that the hospital across the street from me has a 40% C-section rate and will call CPS if I decline a routine, non-evidence-based newborn procedure on my baby. I know, from speaking to other mothers, that I "must" give birth by 41 weeks, and if I decline an epidural or medications to speed up labor, I could face ridicule from my caregivers or even a punitive episiotomy if I get unlucky with who is on call.
Knowledge like that complicates these decisions immensely. The question for me isn't so much, "Is home birth safe?" but, "Is home birth less dangerous than hospital birth?"
The truth is that there's no such thing as "safe" or risk-free birth in any setting. For each of us, "safety" and "risk" are complicated calculations made within limitations of our individual circumstances and the options at hand. For mothers and families making these important decisions, statistics are helpful, but statistics only illuminate the corners of our own unique sets of certainties and uncertainties.
Polarizing arguments and digging in our heels about these issues don't make birth safer. Insisting that one location is always safe and one location is never is ridiculous. Pretending that all women are making decisions based on a full set of good options or the same set of health circumstances is unrealistic. Making judgments about someone else's personal circumstances is nonsensical. We can never know all of the factors that go into those complicated decisions.
Home birth has been around since humans have been, and it doesn't look like it's going anywhere.
Hospital birth is where 99% of American birth takes place, and I doubt it's going anywhere, either.
For real people making real choices, let's open up the discussion with compassion instead of trying to choke it to death. Transparency and collaboration can make birth safer in all of these settings, but it can't happen in a hostile environment. If we can let go of our own biases of where women "should" give birth, maybe we can start making birth safer in all of those locations.
* Louisiana is the only state that requires some individual women to seek permission from a state agency (the State Board of Medical Examiners) to hire a midwife for home birth.

The Voice Battle Rounds Part 4 Scorecard
How did the singers stack up during Part 4 of the battles?
The Voice Battle Rounds concluded for the week Monday night as the coaches continued cutting their teams in half. It was a fast and easy night of battles that was over before I knew it. In the end, I think most of the decisions were the right ones.
The Voice Battle Rounds Scorecard
Liz Davis vs. Nicole Johnson singing Miranda Lambert's "Baggage Claim."
- Winner: Liz
- Should've won: Liz
- The Steal: Not Used. I wish the steal had been used on Nicole. Liz was almost a little too confident for my taste. There was a sweet vulnerability to Nicole.
Alessandra Guercio vs. Kayla Nevarez with Katy Perry's "Wide Awake."
- Winner: Kayla
- Should've Won: Alessandra
- The Steal: Christina sneaks in the steal at the end and snatches Alessandra up for her team.
Emily Earle vs. Mackenzie Bourg singing Owl City's "Good Time."
- Winner: Mackenzie
- Should've Won: Mackenzie
- The Steal: Not Used. I thought Blake should've used the steal on Emily. She's right up his alley.
The following Battles were featured in a sped-up montage. So there wasn't enough screen time to make my own call on who should've won.
Mycle Wastman vs. Ben Taub singing "Too Close"
- Winner: Mycle
Michelle Brooks-Thompson vs. Adanna Duru with Beyonce's "Crazy in Love"
- Winner: Michelle
Laura Vivas vs. Beat Frequency singing Lady Gaga's "Poker Face"
- Winner: Laura
Best Battle of the Night
I liked the energy that Emily and Mackenzie had with Owl City's "Good Time." There weren't any incredible vocals tonight, so I think this would be my favorite battle of the night. And how cute was Mackenzie in his little Amish chic attire? Adorable.
What was yours?

PHILADELPHIA -- Adam Larsson watched Game 1 from the press box, dressed sharply in a suit and tie. From the rafters, he sat helpless as he watched his New Jersey Devils lose a tough road opener in this Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Flyers in overtime.
In Game 2, though, he received his chance to shed the suit, and don a uniform.
More from ESPN.com
The Devils have stayed under the radar during these playoffs. That should change after they beat the Flyers in Game 2, writes Scott Burnside. Story
• Cross Checks: Henrique relieved
And the 19-year-old rookie took full advantage.
Larsson scored the first postseason goal of his career off a wristshot in the third, igniting a four-goal explosion in the period, as the Devils rallied to a 4-1 win over Philadelphia on Tuesday night. The best of seven series is now tied at 1-1.
"I know how the playoffs (are)," Larsson said. "I watched all the games from the stands. I know that everybody steps up a little bit. I knew in my mind, if wanted to stay in the lineup, I had to step it up."
Larsson and Clarkson scored consecutive goals in the third period to rally the Devils past the Flyers and make up for the absence of Ilya Kovalchuk. The Devils played without their regular-season leading scorer because of a lower body injury.
Travis Zajac added a late goal to make it 3-1, and Bryce Salvador scored a late empty-netter for the Devils.

Game 3 is Thursday in Newark, N.J.
Matt Read scored 2:53 into the game to give the Flyers hope they could jump to a commanding series lead. Instead, the offense went into a funk and goalie Ilya Bryzgalov couldn't protect the advantage.
Even without Kovalchuk, the Devils did what they wanted against Bryzgalov, taking close shots and dominating the play in the Flyers' zone.
They just couldn't score -- until the third.
Bryzgalov, who signed a $51 million, nine-year deal last summer, was especially stout in the second when he bailed out the Flyers' offense with a 12-save period. The Flyers went more than 18 minutes in the period before taking a shot on Martin Brodeur.
"I didn't sense frustration. We were comfortable with how we played the first two periods," Devils coach Peter DeBoer said. "And it was just a matter of keeping it going in the third. And the goals came."
Bryzgalov had a brutal first five games of the postseason and allowed 20 goals against Pittsburgh. But he shut down the Penguins in the Game 6 clincher -- a 5-1 win -- and allowed three goals in the Game 1 victory against the Devils.
He appeared to have turned the corner.
Then came the final period.
Kovalchuk's injury opened a roster spot for Larsson, a rookie defenseman, to be activated. Larsson was a first-round pick last year, and is just 19 years old. He had two goals and 18 points in his first NHL season, but had not played a playoff game yet. Larsson's shot from the circle beat Bryzgalov on his glove side early in the third for the tying goal.
"Down a goal, third period, and it was huge," DeBoer said of the rookie's goal. "I feel great for Larsson. He's been out a few games, and he responded."
Clarkson made it 2-1 minutes later when he scored off a rebound. The Devils won the faceoff and Zach Parise was stuffed with a pad save. Clarkson then crashed the net to knock in the puck and fly gut-first into the crossbar. He lay on top of the net briefly as his teammates mobbed him.
Bryzgalov slammed his stick in frustration after the goal.
Zajac's fifth goal of the postseason on a backhander made it 3-1 and gave the Devils the insurance goal they needed.
"I really felt we'd respond like this," DeBoer said. "I knew we'd be better than Game 1. Knew we'd bounce back. We've dealt with adversity and injuries all year. It's nothing new."
Bryzgalov shook his head and remained motionless on his knees for at least a minute after Zajac's goal. He was still down on one knee for the faceoff before he finally stood up and got his head back into the game.
He clearly wasn't happy about the goals. And he was probably angry with Philadelphia's offensive ineptness, as well.
At the end of the game, Claude Giroux stopped Bryzgalov for a brief chat before he was greeted by the rest of the team. Giroux has emerged as the leader of the team and whatever he was telling the goalie, Bryzgalov seemed to agree with, mostly nodding his head.
"Bryz was phenomenal tonight, but we have to do a better job in front of him," coach Peter Laviolette said. "We were not skating the way we needed to be, but I don't think it was because of the fact that we were relying on him to win a game for us."
The Flyers entered with an NHL postseason-high 34 goals, but failed to generate much offense after a move-the-puck first 10 minutes.
Read scored from a tough angle outside the circle to beat Brodeur for the fast 1-0 lead. But it didn't hold up.
Not even Giroux and Danny Briere could spark the Flyers. Each tick of the clock in the second period was like watching a no-hitter to see if the Flyers would finally put the puck on Brodeur. With 1:27 left in the period, the Flyers broke through for a shot and they only took one more.
Brodeur, who had 19 saves, joked he needed an "old man's chair" to sit and rest.
"I got lonely a little bit," he said.
The Devils outshot them 12-2 in the second, in fact. And to make matters worse, the Flyers opened and closed the period on the power play.
"That's the answer, they were just quicker on the loose pucks," Flyers forward Jaromir Jagr said. "Not only on the power play, but 5 on 5. They looked fresher. Everybody knows we didn't play very well. We need to play a lot better next game to have a shot."
The road win was New Jersey's third of the postseason.
"We knew, if we lost tonight, it wasn't going to look good for us," DeBoer said. "I'm not surprised to see us play the way we did."
Though clearly they missed Kovalchuk for long stretches. In his third season with the Devils, Kovalchuk has three goals in eight playoff games and remains day to day. He walked with a pad on his back after Sunday's 4-3 overtime, Game 1 loss, and walked around the locker room Monday at practice in Newark quite gingerly.
Kovalchuk, a former Atlanta Thrasher who had 37 goals and 83 points this season, won his first playoff series ever in New Jersey's Round 1 triumph over Florida. The Devils say Kovalchuk was injured in that first-round series.
Defenseman Peter Harrold, who had three points and five shots on goal in the postseason prior to Game 2, was moved up to a forward position to replace Kovalchuk's spot in Game 2, allowing Larsson to play defense. Harrold had four shots on 12 shifts up front.
"I couldn't get any better (of a) start," Larsson said, "with the goal and everything."
Game notes
The Flyers were 0-for-5 on the power play, and are now 1-for-11 on the series. New Jersey had the league's top penalty-killing unit in the regular season. ... New Jersey has now won three of the last four games. ... Clarkson had 30 goals and 46 points in the regular season. ... Brayden Schenn had his fifth assist on Read's goal.

Steel factor (SF) is a growth and survival factor for hematopoietic cells. The receptor for SF, c-Kit, contains intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity, and binding of SF induces rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular proteins, including c-Kit itself. Activation of c-Kit is shown here to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of CRKL, and CRKL coprecipitated with c-Kit through an interaction that required the CRKL SH3 domains and not the SH2 domain. CRKL associated with c-Kit indirectly as part of a larger complex of proteins. Two proteins in this complex were identified as the p85 regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (p85(PI3K)) and the proto-oncoprotein p120(CBL). Because p85(PI3K) is known to bind to the activated c-Kit receptor, the possibility that CRKL interacted with c-Kit indirectly through p85(PI3K) was investigated. Far Western blotting with a CRKL-SH3 glutathione S-transferase fusion protein showed that CRKL binds directly to p85(PI3K )in vitro. However, although a small amount of CRKL was preassociated with p85(PI3K), the interaction was increased after SF stimulation, suggesting that the interactions of these three proteins are complex. We conclude that SF induces the formation of a signaling complex potentially containing CRKL and p120(CBL), both of which bind to c-Kit through p85(PI3K). These data suggest that one function of CRKL in normal cells might be to recruit signaling molecules such as CBL into a complex with PI3K. Such complexes could be important in propagating signals involving PI3K such as gene expression and adhesion.

For ten days I'm writing about what it really takes to be Highly Creative and whether greater opportunities make for greater Creativity. Yesterday I wrote Thinking Complex Thoughts–but, Showing No Great Acts, as Children.
Highly Creative people intuitively know life. Often, this knowledge comes with deep loss, either real or symbolic.
In Greek Mythology, the white-winged horse–Pegasus, symbolizes dimensions of divine creativity unperceived by mortals.
In her bestselling Harry Potter series, writer J.K Rowling introduces another mythical creature, the Thestral. Thestrals are also winged horses, but unlike Pegasus, they are spooky and disturbing to spot. Their leathery, bat-like wings seem more pre-historic than heavenly and the penetrating stares of their full-white eyes, bother. The flock of Thestrals at Harry Potter's school is used mainly to pull the carriages transporting students. Only certain people can actually see Thestrals at work. Most students think the carriages run on their own power and don't question how they actually work.
When Harry Potter first sees the Thestrals, he asks a fellow student, Luna,
What are they?
Luna says,
They're called Thestrals. They're quite gentle, really… But people avoid them because they're a bit…
Harry says,
Different. But why can't the others see them?
Luna explains,
They can only be seen by people who've seen death.
Rowling's Thestrals incorporate the ancient idea that a knowledge of good (life) and evil (death) facilitates perception of full truth. Rowling herself, had just begun writing the first Harry Potter book, when her mother died. In an interview, she said,
I know I was writing Harry Potter at the moment my mother died.
I had never told her about [him].
Barely a day goes by when I do not think of her. There would be so much to tell her, impossibly much.
Rowling said the death left her "a wreck", and was the inspiration for Harry's orphan status. Rowling's experience with loss is not unique among the Highly Creative throughout history. Benjamin Franklin tells of his loss in his Autobiography. He said,
In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the smallpox taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation.
In 1851, Charles Darwin's ten year-old daughter Anne died, leaving Darwin crippled with guilt and devastated to the point of near insanity. Eight years later, he published his theory of Natural Selection. His book, The Origin of Species, incorporated death– for the first time in the history of Western civilization, as a natural part of the life cycle–rather than a result of Sin. American writer Mark Twain, also watched a loved one die–his wife. In his Autobiography, Twain wrote,
In all my (nearly) seventy-four years I have seen only one person whom I would marry, & I have lost her.
Journalist Tim Adams writes of Twain's further losses. He says,
This sense of loneliness was compounded by the fact that Twain had by then also buried two of his four children – a good deal of his reminiscence [for his autobiography] comes in response to moving little scraps of notes that his daughter Susy had prepared for a book about him, before she died; another daughter, Jean, would predecease him in the course of his narration.
Twain saw life differently forever after. He wrote,
Since those days, I have pitied doctors from my heart. What does the lovely flush in a beauty's cheek mean to a doctor but a "break" that ripples above some deadly disease? Are not all her visible charms sown thick with what are to him the signs and symbols of hidden decay? Does he ever see her beauty at all, or does n't he simply view her professionally, and comment upon her unwholesome condition all to himself? And does n't he sometimes wonder whether he has gained most or lost most by learning his trade?
A very short list of other Highly Creative people who experienced deep loss before Creating follows:
- German chemist August Kekulé lost his wife a few years before he published his famous theories on the structure of benzene in 1865.
- Writer J.M. Barrie's older brother died at age 13. His parents never got over their loss. Barrie used this confusion he carried from childhood to create Peter Pan, the boy who never grows up.
- Nobel laureate Marie Curie lost her husband, Pierre, before her major discoveries.
- Thomas Jefferson became an orphan at age 13.
- Novelist Charlotte Bronte first lost her mother and then her five siblings, at regular intervals, throughout her short life .
- Coco Chanel's mother died when she was 13. Her father then left his six children to fend for themselves.
- The mother of modern Management, Lillian Moller-Gilbreth lost a six-year old child to tuberculosis.
Not all loss is ushered by a physical death. Some loss is more symbolic. For example, architect Frank Lloyd Wright's parents divorced when he was 14 years old. His father sued his mother for lack of physical attention and left the young Wright as the sole financial provider to his mother and sisters. Contemporary writer Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, also experienced deep loss through divorce, her own.
Deep loss opens the eyes and mind to dimensions of life unperceived by those who have not yet tasted life– in full. Highly Creative people intuitively know life because they have seen death, either real or symbolic, and channel this intuition for Creation.

The smartphone has revolutionized the way we think about computers. In fact, we don't think about them at all. We expect the phone in our pocket to do many things, providing us with access to a whole range of tools to improve our lifestyle and our performance at work. We can use it to talk, text, email and browse. To shop, bank, take and share pictures, and play games. And that's where the power of voice is about to change everything.
Speech recognition has been available on mobile phones for a number of years, but deviate from the simple keywords such as "Call Office" and most mobile personal assistants struggle to understand.
NLI picks up the deficit in speech recognition by utilizing powerful linguistic libraries and applying advanced reasoning rules, including context and dialogue history, to add intelligence to a conversation. If applicable, information from back-end or external systems can also be included to provide the most appropriate response.
The result is a free format, natural language conversation where the mobile device is able to understand and carry out the requests of the user.
Smartphones and tablets are fast becoming the main interface to the internet and hence they link to your organization. By embracing the power of mobile computing your customers can engage with you at any time in an automated, but natural, humanlike way.
Our mobile solution applications are provided through our product Teneo Mobile, a platform independent technology designed to enable companies, organizations, manufacturers and developers to create their own virtual assistant as a mobile app, regardless of platform, mobile device and even language. Teneo Mobile provides you with:
The increase in speech-enabled personal assistant solutions for smartphones has radically changed consumer expectations. Artificial Solutions provides a language, device and platform independent alternative that can be quickly tailored and extended, allowing you to leapfrog existing offerings and offer genuine differentiation in the market.
By harnessing the power of speech-enabled Natural Language Interaction (NLI) technology, you can deliver a highly intuitive voice controlled experience to your customers when they interact with your mobile devices. This enhanced level of interactivity will help you improve customer satisfaction with your devices, and develop loyalty and customer lifetime value and give you genuine competitive advantage.
Our Teneo-based mobile virtual assistants understand spoken sentences, regardless of variations such as tone, diction, syntax, idiom and dialect – across multiple languages. Standalone ASR systems do not always recognize every word, but when used in conjunction with our Teneo NLI platform, the accuracy for speech interaction with customers is greatly improved. Of course, it is also possible for your customers to interact with our Teneo Mobile solutions using other forms of input such as text and even gesture control; all are just different forms of input that can be interpreted by our NLI technology.
Our powerful Teneo NLI platform allows us to quickly develop sophisticated natural language solutions whilst our bespoke services are tailored to ensure we meet your specific requirements. So, if you are looking to develop your own unique speech-enabled application, we can provide the technology, training and consultancy to support you in the process. Alternatively, you may be looking for a mobile personal assistant able to speak multiple languages, tailored to your devices and platforms and supported, hosted and managed by Artificial Solutions, we can help.
We even have Indigo – an intelligent, cross platform, personal assistant built using Teneo and available as a managed service by Artificial Solutions. Read More
Teneo gives you the opportunity to add intelligent, speech-enabled interactivity to your mobile devices; fast!
Your customers increasingly demand mobile innovation and brand-consistency across multiple device. Teneo offers an innovative way to reinforce your brand using mobile computing. You can stay in touch with your customers, whenever and wherever is right for them. With Teneo, you can have a speech-enabled, intelligent virtual assistant as your brand ambassador, permanently available on mobile devices.
As more and more customers turn to their smartphones and tablets to search for information, Virtual Assistants that have been optimized for the mobile platform will take hold, providing a competitive differentiator for many organizations.
Your customers will be impressed with the ease in which they can interact with your organization. For example, simply by saying "I want to go to Barcelona next Thursday", a customer could choose their flight, class, even their seat – all from their mobile phone, quickly and simply.
Even if the customer gets distracted by other queries such as legroom or luggage allowance, your virtual assistant, like any good agent, will bring the customer back to the purpose of the conversation incorporating any additional information into the result and asking other questions if required.
Whether you take your current web based virtual assistant online or create new ones for specific campaigns or areas of the business, it's important for it to be available for all your customers regardless of which mobile platform or handset they use.
Our unique technology and the platform independence of Teneo Mobile allows you to quickly implement your own mobile virtual assistant to take advantage of the mobile computing revolution, without the worry of who will win the battle of the mobile platform.
A dedicated mobile Virtual Assistant will enable you to deliver a better user experience than just running a Virtual Assistant in a mobile web browser. This is because embedded apps can be integrated more deeply into smartphone and tablet features, allowing you to link to virtually any app from within your Virtual Assistant.
Native App Connectivity enables your customers to access functionalities such as calling telephone numbers or locate an office on Google maps all from within your app. But with our NLI technology your customers will be able to do even more.
For example, our mobile virtual assistants can understand idiomatic instructions like "next Wednesday" and book a meeting in the calendar without you needing to specify the actual date.

Electronics Recycling
Baltimore County asks residents with unwanted household electronics to first contact electronics manufacturers or retailers to inquire about an electronics take-back or recycling program. Some electronics manufacturers and retailers may have convenient programs for recycling electronics that are free or low-cost.
Another option for residents is to donate unwanted electronics to a charity or reuse organization. Residents are urged to contact the charity/organization first to ensure that the material they plan to donate will be accepted. For contact information regarding charities and reuse organizations that accept electronics and other items, residents may consult the Baltimore County Reuse Directory (PDF).
Baltimore County residents may also drop off the following household electronics for recycling at all three County drop-off facilities:
- CPUs, keyboards, printers, laptops, scanners, cables, and cords
- VCRs and DVD players
- Telephones (including cell phones and answering machines)
- Stereos
- Fax machines
- Video display devices
Recycling TVs and monitors has become increasingly difficult. These items will now be accepted at County drop-off facilities for disposal rather than recycling.
These drop-off facilities are for household electronics only. No business or institutional materials will be accepted.

If a script is for iptables or cryptoloop (os specific things) it would have to be seperated and sourced from another file, so it can be easily removed or replaced, like a module sorta. These two things wouldn't be too difficult to do right now and wouldn't have any real negitive affect.

Dedicated to Our Families & Communities
Ann comes from a six generation Oregon family. Her dad helped run the family construction business and her mom worked as a teacher and a school principal. Life wasn't always easy; the family business struggled during the recession of the 1980's. Understanding the challenges and stress that families can go through is why Ann has worked so hard to make life better for families and build a stronger future for our community.
Ann has used her skills as a public interest attorney and active volunteer to develop affordable housing, strengthen our public schools and help victims of domestic violence. As a local business leader, she has worked to strengthen our local manu- facturing economy. And as a Clackamas County Commissioner, she reached across partisan divisions and brought people together to make a real difference.
Now, as our State Representative, Ann Lininger is putting her experience & values into action:
Strengthening Schools & Opportunity
- Making K-12 funding a top priority while supporting sensible tax reforms and opposing inappropriate tax giveaways.
- Supporting technical education programs that provide training for good jobs and helping students access community college courses.
- Keeping the cost of college within reach by supporting financial aid for students and keeping tuition affordable.
Protecting Our Environment
- Preserving Oregon's forests and farmland by limiting development to appropriate locations.
- Encouraging cleaner energy and the jobs that come with it by supporting Oregon's clean fuels program and advocating for renewable energy projects.
- Making sure Oregon does its part to address climate change by supporting energy efficiency improvements and examining incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Helping Families & Seniors
- Helping low-income seniors stay in their homes by improving Oregon's property tax deferral program.
- Helping families prevent or overcome homelessness and get on their feet by supporting investment
- in Oregon's Emergency Housing Account and State Homeless Assistance Program.
- Expanding mental health and addiction recovery services by supporting creation of local clinics and improved coordination among caregivers.
- As a member of the Oregon Retirement Savings Task force, developing a plan for Oregonians to have a more secure retirement when they don't have an employer based program.
And Ann's private sector experience in financial analysis and watching the bottom line will make sure we get the most out of every tax dollar.

Current Time
From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
Despite a late start in tourism, Puglia has jumped ahead of other regions in Italy with its abundance of stylish hotels, yet even in this high-design market, Borgo Egnazia stands out. Unlike many of its masserie (traditional Puglian farmhouses) counterparts, the hotel is newly built in the traditional style, a large compound surrounded by stone-walled fields of ancient olive trees. An enclosed courtyard leads into a lofty, domed hallway filled with hanging lanterns, while fireplaces set into the white stone flicker throughout the public spaces. The 63 comfortable guest rooms have white stone walls and canopy beds, and each comes with a terrace looking onto the sea, the hills, or two huge pools flanked by double-size daybeds. The spa has a heated indoor pool, and the 18-hole golf course next door, the San Domenico, is one of the area's main attractions (this, combined with a terrific children's club, is a welcome combination for families). 2011 Hot ListView the entire Hot List of the travel world's most noteworthy debuts in 2011 ›
