Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese, Vintage, 2010 - Reviewed by Ann Wilson
A coming-of-age story about a young man who grows up in Ethiopia and his unusual family is not a story that would normally capture my attention. The blurb on the back of the book did not inspire me either, but it was a gift from my mother so I opened the front cover and began to read. I was delighted by . . . Complete Book Review
A Companion to Aristotle Edited by Georgios Anagnostopoulos, Blackwell Publishing 2009- Reviewed by Tiberiu Popa
Aristotle's works still command a great deal of attention among a wide readership, which is certainly not confined to historians of philosophy. His writings deserve our reflection not only for their intrinsic worth (we shouldn't forget that he practically invented such fields as biology and logic, in addition to formulating his own theories on almost everything from . . .

Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks, Penguin, 2002 - Reviewed by Anne Wilson
A fictional tale based upon real events of how a woman from a rural village in England might have survived the black plague, Year of Wonders is a tale of human perseverance. This is not a story to read if you have recently had a child, and there are scenes that are very difficult to read. Complete Book Review
The Stonecutter's Aria by Carol Faenzi, Aperto, 2005 - Reviewed by Judi Morrel
Part history, part memoir, part fiction, and infused with local flavor, The Stonecutter's Aria portrays the saga of one Italian-American family, whose descendents settle in Indianapolis in 1924 as part of a flourishing Italian community centered around the Holy Rosary Catholic Church still billing itself today as "the Italian church in Indianapolis" near Fountain Square.

Comparable-store sales growth again slowed at Walgreen Co. as the drug chain turned in a narrow increase in December.
Retail News Breaks Archives
DEERFIELD, Ill. – Comparable-store sales growth again slowed at Walgreen Co. as the drug chain turned in a narrow increase in December.
Walgreens said Thursday same-store sales inched up 0.4% in December, extending a downward monthly growth trend from gains of 1.8% in November, 2.6% in October, 3.1% in September and 5.6% in August.
The company noted that calendar day shifts (one more Saturday and one fewer Wednesday versus a year earlier) negatively impacted comp-store sales in December by 1.1 percentage points.
Front-end same-store sales edged up 0.6% in December. Customer traffic in comparable stores dipped by 0.6 percentage point, while basket size ws up 1.2%.
Meanwhile, comparable pharmacy sales in December were nearly flat, rising just 0.2%. Walgreens said pharmacy same-store results were negatively impacted by calendar day shifts (1.9 percentage points), generic drug introductions in the last 12 months (1.9 percentage points) and a lower incidence of cough, cold and flu (1.8 percentage points).
Prescriptions filled at comparable stores fell by 0.6 percentage point in December, reflecting negative impacts from calendar day shifts (1.9 percentage points) and lower incidence of flu (1.5 percentage points), the retailer reported.
Walgreens also said its contract impasse with Express Scripts Inc. negatively impacted comparable prescriptions filled in December by about 1.5 percentage points, based on prescription transfers and other trend analysis of prescriptions managed by the pharmacy benefit manager.
Total prescriptions filled were flat in December versus a year ago, while flu shots administered at pharmacies and Take Care Clinics season-to-date were 5.3 million versus 6 million last year.
Overall December sales came in at $6.98 billion, up 2.7% from $6.8 billion a year earlier. Revenue rose 1.4% in the front end and 2% in the pharmacy during the month, Walgreens said.
Calendar 2011 sales totaled $73.18 billion, representing a gain of 6.3% from $68.86 billion in 2010.
During December, Walgreens opened nine stores (including one relocation), acquired one store and closed two locations. The chain said that as of Dec. 31, it operated 7,818 drug stores, 163 more than a year ago, including 24 stores acquired over the last 12 months.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 2
Posted By: JoanDate: January-23, 1998 at 17:13:19
In Response To: Dr. D'Adamo's Book ER4YT (Lisa)
Since your original question was what's in the book,Dr. D'A has some advice on how to deal with/avoid flu vaccines dependingon the blood type of the father as well as the mother.He also recommends supplements of iron, calcium and folic acid.Assuming you are under a doctor's care you have also been checked for Rh factor.The best advice is to follow you blood type diet closely.DON'T count on the webpage to give you a full picture.The book fills in a lot about volumes of foods and the 'whys and wherefores'.(This webpage was originally for those who had first read the book and then had questions beyond.)
If you think you need to eat a lot now, consider a 5000 calorie nursing mother's diet :)
With best wishes, and fond memories!Joan

Globalization and inequalities: Complexity and contested modernitiesDate: 28 January 2009 Time: 16.00-18.00 pm
Venue: Marcus Merriman Lecture Theatre In her talk, 'globalization and inequalities: complexity and contested modernities', Sylvia Walby will challenge existing paradigms of globalization, replacing them with new ones that address multiple complex inequalities in addition to class. In order to do this, key aspects of social theory are revised using complexity theory, including the concept of social system. Modernities are diverse and contested, with new varieties of regimes of inequality formed at critical turning points, leading to neoliberalism and social democracy. Sylvia Walby was appointed in 2008 the founding holder of the UNESCO Chair in Gender Research, with responsibilities for the development of gender research and its communication with UN policy bodies. She was awarded an OBE for services to equal opportunities and diversity in the UK in 2008 in recognition of her work with governmental and non-governmental bodies to ensure that gender research impacts on the development of public policy. The Department of Sociology and the Centre for Gender and Womens Studies are pleased to announce a public lecture by Sylvia Walby to mark her recent OBE honours award and UNESCO chair. After the lecture, which will take place in the Marcus Merriman Lecture Theatre from 16:00-18:00, there will be a wine reception from 18:15-19:15 followed by Dinner at Bistro 26 for 20:00 (Menu available to view here).

Plextor M5M 256GB mSATA SSD review -
Product showcase
Product showcase
The following images were taken at high-resolution and then cropped and scaled down. The camera used was a Canon DSLR using 12 MegaPixel photo's.
Right then, above packaging. The latest and greatest comes in a 256 GB package. Performance is listed at 540MB/s read and 430MB/s writes with 70,000 IOPS at 4k random write aligned disk access with our tested 256GB model.
And there it is, this is the mSATA 256 GB version all packaged up in the bundle. You should easily be able to place it somewhere in your mobile device or motherboard with an mSATA port. If not, you can use a converter to SATA3 though.The SSD supports TRIM making sure your SSD will regain it's speed once in idle.
The M5M currently is maximum at 256GB, this is because the that is the maximum volume that you can currently achieve with four NAND packages and 8GB die (4x8x8GB). Perhaps once 16GB per die NAND will get available in higher volumes, we'll see a 512GB version as well.
mSATA is funky, the lenght of the device is roughly 5cm only, that's about two inches. To be precise, the mSATA form factor specifies mSATA 51 x 30 x 0.8mm.

Best Place to Meet Single Men Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach 2006 - The Treasure Trove
For this one, the female staffers of New Times had to choose between journalistic integrity and our own selfish instincts (i.e., letting other women in on our secrets). Lucky for you, we went with integrity and decided to divulge our man-trap. But note that we did not call this category Best Place to Meet Rich Men or Best Place to Meet Commitment-Minded Men. We just said single. Because of its location on Fort Lauderdale Beach, the Treasure Trove is a treasure-trove of lifeguards, boat captains, kiteboarders, and dive masters -- especially on "Taco Tuesday" (two-for-one tacos!). Because they have just come back from sea (even if it was just for two hours), these guys are looking for a little company of the female persuasion. While a dude named Catfish Hunter plays laid-back tunes on guitar, these gentlemen will regale you with stories about going through the locks of the Panama Canal and show you where the Marquesas Islands are by drawing a map on a napkin. They're likely to sport a tan and muscles and, if you're lucky, a Spanish or South African accent. In some cases, they've come straight from work, smelling like diesel fuel mixed with suntan lotion, a potent brew. Because they have to sail to the Bahamas tomorrow, they might not buy you a diamond, but they will certainly get you a Sierra Nevada or three, and a sleepover (on a boat!) isn't out of the question. No, you won't regret it in the morning, for you will have discovered the lair of a fun-loving, adventurous, chivalrous bunch.

When I first signed on as the charcutière at Formaggio Kitchen, I was excited to work with meat. "What does the position entail?" I asked Ihsan, the shop's owner. "You'll be making sausages, curing meat, breaking down whole pigs and rabbits. Stuff like that," he said. "And pâtés. Lots of pâtés." That stopped me in my tracks. Sausages, great. Butchery, no problem. How hard can meat curing be? But pâtés? This was another story.
Pâté was mysterious, classic and tricky-sounding. I accepted the position with a bit of apprehension. Now, entering my third holiday season at the shop, pâtés have become one of the items I particularly look forward to making. And we make a lot of them! (more…)

Jamon at Anada |
Back to the food though, Anada is a tapas bar and so since I was there with a group of friends we decided to get the tasting menu ($55) of nine raciones and tapas. The meal started out really well with some tapas bar classics: folds of salty jamon and thin wedges of Manchego cheese topped with a slither of sweet quince past.
Croquettes |
Fat, deep crumbed croquettes were crisp on the outside and creamy inside flavoured with salt cod and flecks of garlic shoots. The highlight though was a minty, silky smooth glass of gazpacho. So refreshing.
Gazpacho at Anada |
From the raciones menu fat, juicy prawns which had been charcoal grilled to give them a great charred taste and were served on a slick of tomato salmorejo and topped with a piece of crispy pancetta. But from here the tapas menu became more like the sort of dishes you would serve on a cold July day rather than a in a heatwave.
Prawns with pancetta at Anada |
While the pork belly was sweet and juicy with excellent, crisp salty crackling, it wasn't the sort of food any of us felt like eating. Even more difficult to leave aside were the slow roasted beef cheeks which were so tender they fell apart to touch. They were delicious but not what we expected to be served on such a hot night. By this stage of the evening we were sitting on napkins to mop up the sweat on the leather seats and had to ask if we could finish our drinks off outside to try and get some cool air.
Pork belly on eggplant mash at Anada |
I'd love to go back to Anada in winter but it's not a great restaurant for our current hot weather. The fan being broken was just bad luck, but serving a menu which was not seasonal at all was pretty disappointing and is not something that would happen at any self respecting tapas bar in Spain.

A20® aviation headset
- Acclaimed noise reduction, even in loud environments
- Comfortable, stable fit with plenty of ear-room
- Clear audio for reliable communications
- Auxiliary audio input for GPS and other devices; Bluetooth® phone connectivity
- Made in the US, meets or exceeds all TSO requirements
Since Bose introduced active noise reducing headsets to the aviation industry, they've been a favorite among pilots. Our latest iteration, the A20 Aviation Headset, has even more to like.
It features breakthrough innovations to reduce noise and provide comfort—without compromising the clear audio you expect from Bose. It also includes an auxiliary audio input and Bluetooth® phone connectivity.
Bose rated #1 by readers of Professional Pilot magazine, 2011 Headset Preference Survey*
Enjoy a peaceful flight
Proprietary technologies in the A20 Aviation Headset reduce noise across the full spectrum of human hearing, even in loud environments. Advanced electronics use microphones both inside and outside each earcup to sense and reduce ambient sound. Watch video.
Bose® ear cushion technology helps further reduce unwanted noise. Innovative cushion materials block sound before it enters the earcups, providing an even quieter headset experience.
Comfort for the long haul
The A20 Aviation Headset also provides significant comfort and stability. While the overall headset profile is compact, the earcup cavity allows plenty of ear room. The proprietary cushions provide quality acoustic seals, even over eyeglasses, and remain comfortable during long flights. The solid magnesium headband is extremely durable, yet lightweight, and its sheepskin cushion eliminates hot spots. The A20 headset weighs just 12 ounces and exerts minimal clamping force.
AUX IN and Bluetooth® technology convenience
The ergonomic control module includes an auxiliary audio input with Intercom/AUX priority switching. Many pilots will want to use this for dedicated GPS and traffic warning systems. You can set audio priority to mute the AUX input completely when an intercom signal is detected, or to simply lower the AUX volume appropriately.
On select models, Bluetooth® mobile phone connectivity allows you to receive calls wirelessly while wearing the A20 headset. And its enhanced EMI protection helps minimize interference from the mobile phone.

Up Close and Personal with a Female Flame Skimmer
What a beauty.
But not nearly as striking as her male counterpart.
The flame skimmer dragonfly (Libellula saturata) owned a perch on a bamboo stake last Tuesday in residential Davis.
Davis resident Gary Zamzow, a dynamite insect photographer (especially bumble bees), pointed his Pentax camera at the insect, just inches away.
The dragonfly did not move.
"The female flame skimmers are not as intensely orange as the males are and they also have the expansions on the 7th abdominal tergite that you can see in your picture (below)," said senior museum entomologist Steve Heydon of the Bohart Museum of Entomology (http://bohart.ucdavis.edu/), University of California, Davis.
If you like dragonflies, you may want to purchase a dragonfly poster at the museum, located in Room 1124 of the Academic Surge building on Crocker Lane, or online at its gift shop. It features 18 species of dragonfies, ranging from the common whitetail and green darner to the Western river cruiser and the bison snaketail. And, of course the flame skimmer.
Entomology doctoral candidate Fran Keller designed the poster with images provided and donated to the museum by naturalist Greg Kareofelas of Davis.

It's a Bird, It's a Plane...
It's a bird, it's a plane...
It's not Superman. It's a flame skimmer dragonfly (Libellula saturata).
We spotted this dragonfly in our yard recently and crouched down for a low angle, framing it against the sky.
This is one insect that everyone notices and admires.
Except maybe its prey...

From Toe Biters to Flame Skimmers
From toe biters to flame skimmers...
That's what visitors will see on "Aquatic Insect Day" on Sunday, March 24 at the Bohart Museum of Entomology, University of California, Davis.
Toe biters (giant water bugs) and flame skimmers (dragonflies) are just some some of the aquatic insects to be featured at the open house from 1 to 4 p.m. in Room 1124 Academic Surge, Crocker Lane. The event is free and open to the public.
The toe biters belong to the Belostomatidae family of insects in the order Hemiptera. The largest insects in the order, they are found in freshwater streams and ponds throughout much of the world. In some Asian countries, the giant water bugs are considered a delicacy. The Belostomatids are unique in that the female lays her eggs on the back or wings of a male; the male carries the eggs until they hatch.
The flame skimmers belong to the family Libellulidae and are native to western North America. The red flame skimmer (Libellula saturata) is common in California. The immature flame skimmers or nymphs inhabit warm ponds and streams and feed on the larvae of mosquitoes, aquatic flies and mayflies, as well as on freshwater shrimp, small fish, and tadpoles. You'll often see the adults gliding through the air, catching moths, syrphid flies and bees.
Bohart Museum personnel also will pull out the fly-fisher drawers containing caddisflies, mayflies and stoneflies, said Tabatha Yang, Bohart Museum education and outreach coordinator.
The Bohart Museum, directed by Lynn Kimsey, professor of entomology at UC Davis, houses a global collection of nearly eight million insect specimens and is the seventh largest insect collection in North America. Noted entomologist Richard M. Bohart (1913-2007) founded the museum in 1946.
Visitors can hold such live insects as Madagascar hissing cockroaches and walking sticks, and buy gifts at the gift shop, which is filled with t-shirts, jewelry, insect nets, posters and books, including the newly published children's book about the California dogface butterfly, the state insect. The 35-page book, "The Story of the Dogface Butterfly," written by UC Davis doctoral candidate Fran Keller and illustrated (watercolor and ink) by Laine Bauer, a 2012 graduate of UC Davis is geared toward kindergarteners through sixth graders. Naturalist Greg Kareofelas of Davis, a volunteer at the Bohart, provided photos.
Net proceeds from the sale of this book go directly to the education, outreach and research programs of the Bohart Museum. The book also can be ordered online at http://www.bohartmuseum.com/the-story-of-the-dogface-butterfly.html.
Bohart officials schedule weekend open houses throughout the academic year so that families and others who cannot attend on the weekdays can do so on the weekends. The Bohart's regular hours are from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The insect museum is closed to the public on Fridays and on major holidays. Admission is free.
The remainder of the open houses for the academic year:
Saturday, April 20: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Theme: UC Davis Picnic Day
Saturday, May 11, 1 to 4 p.m.
Theme: "Moth-er's Day"
Sunday, June 9, 1 to 4 p.m.
Theme: "How to Find Insects"
For more information, contact Yang at firstname.lastname@example.com or (530) 752-0493.

No Sweat
Gotta love those dragonflies in the family Libellulidae.
The Thunderbirds of the insect world, they perform amazing aerial maneuvers as they skim over water, catching mosquitoes, knats, flies and other undesirables on the wing.
But oh--occasionally they nail a pollinator.
A red flame skimmer (Libellula saturata) skimmed over our fish pond and pool last Saturday and picked on the pollinators. Well, at least one pollinator.
It grabbed a female sweat bee, of the genus Halictus, probably H. tripartitus (as identified by native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis, and Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology and professor of entomology at UC Davis).
Yes, they can even identify a mangled sweat bee in the mouth of a dragonfly.
No sweat.
And no sweat bee.

How to Tame Your Dragonfly
For at least three days, he visited our yard.
He swooped over our fish pond and swimming pool and returned each time to perch on a tomato stake in the vegetable garden.
We nicknamed him "Big Red." Big Red? Actually, a flame skimmer dragonfly (Libellula saturata), native to western North America.
Our presence never bothered him. Our excitement at seeing him never bothered him. My macro lens poked a couple of inches from his face never bothered him.
I captured his image from above (bird's eye view), from the sides (both sides now!) and from beneath (bug's eye view).
No worries.
It was only when I popped a barbell-like ring flash on the 105 macro lens that he stirred. Whoops! That was a bit big. He lazily took off and then returned--with a native bee in his mouth.
One day Big Red sat on his perch for three hours, periodically leaving to snag insects, then methodically returning to eat them.
On the fourth day, he disappeared. We haven't seen him since.
I suspect Big Red proved to be an easy catch for a hungry bluejay.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Turneffe Atoll is a group of small Caribbean islands southeast of Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker, off the coast of Belize in Central America, 20 miles (32 km) from the capital, Belize City. It is approximately 30 miles (48 km) long and 10 miles (16 km) wide, making it the largest coral atoll in Belize and in the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System.[1] The atoll was officially declared a marine reserve on November 22, 2012.[2]
Turneffe is home to many marine species that are threatened and/or commercially important. The land and seascape consists of a network of highly productive flats, creeks, and lagoons dotted by more than 150 mangrove islands and higher cayes with savanna and littoral forest. Large expanses of intact mangrove and seagrass habitat and shallows provide important nursery functionality for a wide array of fish species, crocodiles, lobster, conch and other invertebrates. In addition, at least three known important fish spawning aggregation sites have been identified. [3]

What was your favorite audition from the second night of 'Idol?' Were you surprised by Tristen Langley's backstory? See our top five picks, then drop a comment with yours!
American Idol continued its 13th season Jan. 16, bringing us the second night of auditions from around the country. And while the judges — Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. – remained their typical charming selves, the contestants were full of surprises! Certainly, the biggest surprise of the night was that we are officially on our second generation of American Idols! That's right, the son of a former AI runner-up, Tristen Langley, performed in front of the judges! (We'll give you a hint — his parent was from Kelly Clarkson's season.) See below if he made it to Hollywood and to see our five favorite performances of the night!
'American Idol': Our Top 5 Auditions From Jan. 16
1. Megan Miller, 23, sang Carrie Underwood's "Last Night." Harry told her he was worried about when her voice was going to blow out, but she assured them that she's a "powerhouse." The judges seemed to agree that her voice will be just fine, so they put her through! Good thing she's used to playing "4-5 shows a week," because she'll be pretty busy very soon!
2. "You're a pretty guy," Jennifer told Spencer Lloyd, 19, when he walked onstage. Harry, feeling threatened, joked (?) that he doesn't like being "upstaged!" Spencer sang Colton Dixon's "Never Gone," but the judges were not convinced about the strength of his voice. Harry, especially, was not keen on putting him through. However, his playing, his looks, and his "sweetness" got him to Hollywood. Spencer, we're sure you'll be able to show America that you're in this competition based on your talent, not your looks! (…But also your looks. You are really pretty. Facts are facts.)
3. Tristen Langley, 15, sang Sublime's "Santeria" on guitar and was fantastic! Not only was he a great singer and super charming, but, get this: he's actually the son of American Idol alum Nikki McKibbon! Remember her? She placed third after Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson! As Jennifer put it, we are officially on our second generation of American Idols! Harry was, as expected, utterly unmoved by the backstory. That's definitely Harry's style, but he may have been overcompensating by saying "no" to Tristen. No matter, because Jennifer and Keith were on board! We can't wait to see how this story plays out.
4. We can sense a crowd favorite in Marlon Lindsey, 27, who wowed the judges with his rendition of Bob Dylan's "A Change Is Gonna Come." His backstory, combined with his talent, is what's going to attract America's votes: he said that he has wanted to be on American Idol for 8 years, but that he has spent the last 6 years in the U.S. Armed Forces! We appreciate his dedicated service and are looking forward to listening to what he'll sing next!
5. Harry created a new backstory for beyond-her-years Caitlin Johnson, 15, telling her, "Enough with the practical jokes, American Idol. You're 32 years old, you're from New York City, and your name is Beth Goodwin." Hilarious! We wonder if he's still got Morgan Deplitch's performance on his mind? Anyway, she sang Christina Aguilera's version of Etta James' "Something's Got A Hold On Me." While her vocals were not particularly strong, Keith was the first to put her through, and Jennifer couldn't seem to resist her puppy dog eyes. Harry told her no, and he may be right on this one, but Caitlin was certainly memorable! Even if she doesn't make it as the next American Idol, she has a bright future ahead of her, given some more vocal training.
Honorable non-performance mention: Jennifer's bizarre denim-look crop top. If anybody can pull off a denim-look crop top in 2013, it's Jennifer Lopez (her stomach did look amazing), but it took a while before we were convinced we weren't actually watching American Idol Season One. After all, Nikki McKibbon was in front of an AI judges table!
HollywoodLifers, which of tonight's auditions did you like best? Did you love seeing Nikki again? Should Caitlin have gone through? Drop a comment with your thoughts and top picks below!

After the Heartland Wars divided the nation, the two sides (pro-life and pro-choice) came together to form a resolution. Abortion would be strictly banned, but parents could choose to "unwind" their children once they reached the age of reason, thirteen. Pro-lifers agreed to these measures, since the teens would not really die from the unwinding process. 99.44% of their body parts would be grafted into thousands of other people, and in this way they would continue to live on, only in a divided state.
16-year-old Connor has always been a troublemaker, but he never expected his parents to sign the orders to unwind him. Rather than be sent to a harvest camp and sold for parts, Connor runs away. Soon, fate leads him to meet state ward, Risa, a piano virtuoso who wasn't quite good enough to warrant any more government funds, and 13-year-old Lev, a tithe, who has spent his entire life preparing for the day he might make the ultimate sacrifice to god.
Short chapters, a fast pace and an emotionally-charged theme make this a sure-fire hit for fans of Scott Westerfield's Uglies or Shusterman's Everlost. Though the story focuses on Connor, Risa and Lev, Shusterman includes chapters from a range of viewpoint characters, including a juvey cop, a boy who received part of an unwind's brain and a former admiral who now works to save unwinds. Though the premise is hard to accept on first glance, this story of survival, teen rebellion and (in)humanity hooks readers fast and keeps them turning the pages till the bitter end. Along the way, Shusterman forces readers to consider profound issues such as the definition of life, the connection between our conscience and our body and the dangers of choosing the collective over the individual good.

3 Investment Ideas For The Long Run
Chris Lau, Kapitall: Morgan Stanley chose 20 companies it believed were stocks to hold for the long term. Morgan Stanley looked at the following characteristics to base its selection:
· Competitive advantages
· Business model
· Growth
· Pricing power · Cost efficiency Choosing companies based on fundamental analysis should be sound, but investors should not ignore other metrics that would not show up on fundamental analysis. This includes sentiment and technical patterns of a stock. [More Lists: Bullish Trinity: Stocks with Short Covering, Insider & Hedge Fund Buying] The 20 companies that came up were: Analysis On average, the 20 companies are up 12.7% from their 200 day moving average, and up 4.3% from their 50 day moving average. From a pricing standpoint, the companies do not appear to give value for investors buying at this time. 3 companies that stand out are discussed below. 1. Gilead Sciences Inc. ( GILD): Gilead has a stronghold in treating HIV. In a Phase 2 study for Tenofovir Alafenamide, the company reported improvements in renal and bone safety. In February, Gilead met its goals for a Phase III study for once-daily Sofosbuvir. This drug is used to treat hepatitis C. Regulatory approval is set for Q2.2. Symantec Corporation ( SYMC): Anti-virus maker Symantec continues to stay relevant even though the PC market is declining and the mobile market is growing. Shares are at a 52-week high, closing at $24.55 recently. Symantec hired a new CEO in July 2013. The new leader reduced its product offering and focused on integrated its software solutions.
3. Amazon.com Inc. ( AMZN): Despite trading at lofty P/E levels, Amazon is viewed by the Morgan Stanley as a company to own. Amazon.com shares were defying logic for much of 2013, but have pulled back 8% from a 52-week high. JP Morgan downgraded Amazon, predicting gross profits would drop this year. JP Morgan also reduced its earnings estimates to $2.83 from $3.01 per share. Amazon has the capacity to grow subscribers at a loss. Amazon Prime memberships grew after the firm included a free trial with the Kindle Fire. Morningstar estimates up to 40% of the trials were upgraded to a paid membership.

Poll: Gap narrows between Norton, Buck
Posted By Allison Sherry On May 18, 2010 @ 12:53 pm In Colorado Politics,Uncategorized | 3 Comments
GOP Senate hopeful Jane Norton's lead on her primary opponent Ken Buck has narrowed in the last eight weeks to just a five-point, 31 to 26 lead, a new poll found.
Among people who describe themselves as conservatives, Buck leads Norton 34 to 30 points. Norton's overall advantage comes from moderate voters, according to the survey from Public Policy Polling released today.
The poll found that 32% of primary voters view Buck favorably — an 11-point jump from the 21% who did in March. Norton meanwhile has dropped in this area from 41% to 34%
"Today's poll reflects what Ken has believed throughout this campaign," said Buck spokesman Owen Loftus. "Instead of spending his time in DC, Ken has been busy traveling the state, reaching out and listening to Coloradans. This poll captures his growing momentum and is great news as we head into the State Assembly on Saturday."
Two months ago, the former Lt. Gov. had a comfortable 17-point margin over Buck, the Weld County District Attorney.
Norton's campaign called the poll good news.
"Jane is winning," said Norton spokeswoman Cinamon Watson. "After Ken Buck's shady 527s have spent over $1 million in attack ads, Jane is still winning. We're not taking anything for granted, Jane is campaigning around the state and her message is resonating with voters."
The poll [1]of 448 likely Republican primary voters was conducted from May
14 to May 16 and has a margin of error of 4.6%/

Psychological hazards
Psychological hazards in the workplace as things that cause a worker mental distress or distraction. The following are identified as examples of psychological hazards commonly found in the workplace: Violence, bullying and harassment from co-workers or clients, expected work pace, too much or too little work, individual performance pressure, worker phobias, lack of motivation, lack of leadership and work procedures, fatigue or burnout and shift work. Other hazards are the result of tensions created by mixing genders or races in an industry where no diversity had been the norm.
Workplace Violence
Workplace violence, bullying and harassment are particularly dangerous in a workplace. Occurrences are often the result of personality conflicts between co-workers or between staff and supervisors. The termination or discipline of a worker is an event that often creates resentment in co-workers as well as the person being disciplined. Ordinary daily activities may cause a grudge over a slight, whether real or imagined, and this is made even more problematic when employees are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Personal problems can also result in workplace violence and negative behavior. Relationship problems at home or financial or legal problems can create emotional reactions at work. Personality conflicts, grudges and other personal emotional problems can result in an employee bringing weapons to work, endangering everyone present. The Federal Bureau of Inbvestigation recommends planning procedures to handle workplace violence, conducting regular threat assessments and collaboration with local law enforcement, human resources consultants and mental health workers.
A stressful work environment contributes to mental distress and distraction. Lack of organization, lax procedures, unreasonable work pace requirements and poor leadership all lead to stress for employees. Stress leads to mistakes, and mistakes can result in crisis situations. A department that is always operating in response to one crisis after another is a breeding ground for further mistakes. The solution is to reorganize work pace, procedures and quality control to reduce stress levels. A reduction in the stress level of your department will also improve employee morale and reduce the likelihood of violence, bullying and harassment.

Could tier 3 maybe extend the vision radius? Also, can you use empowered battle roar or empowered bola without breaking ult?
Ok wow. Just wow. For all the non-ult changes, I think they´re marvelous. Especially E being a skillshot I´m extremely happy about. Apon seeing the removal of stealth from the ultimate though, my first reaction was NO WAY. Then thinking about it further, as crazy as it seems, it might actually work. However, the biggest problem I have with taking stealth out of his ult is that it destroys an integral part of Rengar. I originally bought him (my second champion after Chogath) because I loved the stealth part of his ultimate. Even post-nerfs, he has one of-- if not the most-- powerful stealth abilities in game. Taking that away removes so much from a thematic and enjoyment point of view. Sneaking around, escaping through the jungle, and setting up knifecat ambushes is such a characteristic part of Rengar that I´d be really sad to see it go. On the other hand, from all the discussions so far about his actual realistic playstyle, I can see how these changes could help him as a champion. Taking away stealth allows us to amp up his other characteristics, allowing for far more consistant performance in game as an assassin, ganker, split pusher, and post-fight chaser. Removing stealth and instead keeping Rengar as a high-damage Rocket Kitty allows him to still do almost all of these things, except initiate fights by attempting to insta-gib the carry (which was frustrating to both the enemy team and Rengar players as it was almost always a suicidal gamble). I can see this new ult as allowing him to have a lot more usefulness to the team and be more solid as a champion. It´s a tough call though-- these current changes fix a lot of the problems with Rengar and make him potentially better than he was from a game-play and stat perspective. But it´s at the cost of one of his signature moves that (along with bush-jumping) is honestly the most fun part about Rengar. If his ult even retained some form of stealth, it would feel a lot better (maybe a passive 1 sec stealth coming out of bushes as mentioned a few pages back). Rengar without stealth just doesn´t feel like Rengar, even if he plays a lot better because of it. Just my thoughts. Thanks
hmm quite interesting change to ult . but really what concerns me is battle roar changes and triple q changes. the only reason rengar is semi viable now (very high risk /high reward) is his ability to assassinate target if well farmed. without triple q he cant do it no matter what. losing mr/ar on his battle roar means he definetely cant be played like a bruiser either ( he cant do it now) if rengar doesnt have damage nor tankiness then what he really is?
I think removing the stealth is bad because it lose the effect of him been a hunter.One the reasson that Rengar and Kha Zix give the felling that they are hunter and predator is the stealth.I really dont like that.For me make no sense a hunter without a stealth.To support me on this the Predator have a stealth.And i am sure Rengar has so preadator base on he creation,litteray one the skin is based of the predator from the movie.So why remove the stealth?

Forums over; tax goes to vote Tuesday

By RANDY GONZALES
After the last of six public forums finished Thursday night at the American Legion, Ellis County Administrator Greg Sund sounded a familiar refrain.
"I sure wish we would have attracted more people to it," he said of Thursday's intimate gathering of a half-dozen audience members. "We have really tried to put together a quality presentation, give out as much information as we can."
All that's left is to vote in Tuesday's special election, but Sund noted voting already had begun.
"We encourage people to go vote," he said. "I think so far we're close to 500 votes already (in advance voting)."
On the ballot, voters will decide whether to approve a 0.5-percent county sales tax for construction of a new EMS/rural fire building, as well as expansion and renovation to the county jail, Law Enforcement Center and courthouse.
With interest added, the project would cost approximately $14.3 million. The sales tax would sunset after five years, or when the project is paid off, whichever comes sooner.
One member of the audience Thursday said she got the impression the county was giving voters an ultimatum: Vote for the sales tax, or there will have to be an increase in property tax to pay for the project.
"If it came across as an ultimatum, nobody intended that," said Ellis County Attorney Tom Drees. "The reality is just to say this is how we can fund a project at the county level.
"Right now, we have two options: property tax or sales tax. That's how we can fund it. These are projects that need to be done. We studied and looked at it, tried to fix it."
Darrell Schmeidler, Hays, was concerned about government spending.
"It seems like the more we get, the more we spend," Schmeidler said. "Why can't we save some money somewhere?
"As a taxpayer, there comes a point in time where you just can't keep giving and giving. The bucket, it's empty sometimes."
Schmeidler admitted the project is worthwhile.
"Like I said, do we need this? I'm not opposed to it at all," he said. "I'm just saying there comes a point in time where we have to do something about these budgets."
Drees said county commissioners keep the budget as tight as possible; that's why there aren't savings built up for a project such as this one.
"They have not wanted to increase property tax to create a surplus of funding," Drees said. "We've been taxing just what's needed, and not shorting ourselves through the years.
"We're just at a point where we've done everything we can do."
The county keeps, on average, 16 prisoners in other counties' jails each day, due to lack of space in the current 30-bed facility. That cost the county approximately $200,000 last year. Adding to the county jail to make it approximately 75 beds would save the county that money. Sund said the cost of adding new employees to the jail staff still would be less than the current cost of transporting prisoners.
Sund added that with approval of the project, the county would be able to sell three buildings it owns: the EMS building, the rural fire building and the Tholen building, where documents are stored. Additionally, the county no longer would need to pay rent for other buildings used for space needs. That would be a savings of $27,600 per year.
In the end, it's up to the voters, said Ellis County Commission Chairman Dean Haselhorst.
"I personally feel, by talking to all the people I've talked to in the county, there's a lot of very positive support for Tuesday," Haselhorst said. "I really feel Tuesday our sales tax will pass."

Zimbabwe: Mugabe Reiterates Elections to Be Held March Next Year
By Tichaona Sibanda, SW Radio Africa (London)
President Robert Mugabe on Monday insisted elections to choose a new government will be held in March next year, despite fears the country is not yet ready for another poll.
Addressing delegates to the COPAC, second all-stakeholders conference that opened in Harare, Mugabe said a peaceful conference that agrees upon a new constitution will help pave the way for national elections, in March.
He urged participants at the conference to 'shame our detractors who say Zimbabweans cannot solve their problems without violence.'
The previous all-stakeholders conference on constitutional reform was abandoned in 2009 after violent disruptions by ZANU PF militants, led by war vets leader Joseph Chinotimba.
'There will certainly be elections in March next year, hatinyangire vanhu (We will not ambush people). Even when we go for elections our campaigns must be clean,' Mugabe.
Tsvangirai, in his address, said the success of the conference will mean the remaining stages of creating a new constitution will be completed successfully, starting with the debate in Parliament right through to the referendum.
'In all this, I would like Zimbabweans to be tolerant of each other's views and to work towards the good of the nation. We should remember that the important national process of constitution-making is about the future of our country.
'We do not want a repeat of the scenes of the first All Stakeholders Conference. We have certainly matured politically and I hope that this maturity will be exhibited during this conference. It is important to see beyond our differences to build a better Zimbabwe for all,' he said.
But the country's Civil Society Organizations pointed out that Zimbabwe won't be ready for elections until fundamental democratic reforms are implemented.
Macdonald Lewanika, the director for the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition, said reforms should be instituted first for a free and fair election that allows for the peaceful transfer of state power to a democratically elected government.
The last elections held in 2008 were roundly condemned by the international community after violence claimed the lives of over 500 supporters of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's MDC party. Tens of thousands of people were tortured and hundreds of thousands were displaced.

Before 4.0, when a server crashed, or closed the place that held the map in the interface would turn to a huge white text box, and errors would show up, rather you got booted/banned, the DS had a fatel error, or if the server Crashed/closed.
In this case the server crashed, so normally you would get "Connection Failed" (simple enough right), but with 4.0 the screen goes black, fine, I go check the new Message/options box, and that just says "Loading Skin". Let me ask you, what does Loading skin have to do with a crashed server(it sounds like It's a Byond problem, not a server problem)?
I rather like the new remote commands, but I think it would be better to have the messages in the map section of the interface, like they were. Also please fix the messages, I don't know how it displays other messages as, but aparently atleast some of the messages are wrong(it took me like 5 minutes talking to the Admin of the game, to find out it was just a server crash).

It's winter, so springtime allergies are currently being kept at bay, but as anyone with food allergies will tell you, it's not just pollen that is the immunological enemy. Perhaps this fact can best be appreciated by visiting Allergome.org, a self-described "platform for allergen knowledge." The site contains a compilation of allergen molecules, which currently contains just fewer than 3,300! These come from a whopping 1,868 sources such as various plant species and bacteria. If you are looking to keep up on the latest allergen knowledge, this website offers the convenience of being able to selectively view new or modified molecules/sources from the previous week, in addition to simply browsing the entire collection. The website also contains a collection of links to further direct your investigations. There are some aspects of the site, however, that are bare, so it might be just as worthwhile to check for updates to the site itself, in addition to the allergen database.
