It's no secret that low-birth-weight babies face significantly greater risks for certain health problems early on, such as respiratory distress or infection. Now, a new study from researchers at the University of Florida and Northwestern University shows that lower weights at birth also have an adverse effect on children's performance in school, which is likely due to the early health struggles small babies often face.
Elder Options will host a public hearing at 3 p.m. Dec. 22 to inform participants of an Older Americans Act service that Elder Options is proposing to provide directly through its Area Plan on Aging Update for 2015 (2013-2015 cycle). The service is the Arthritis Foundation Tai Chi Program (aka Tai Chi for Arthritis). Participants will have the opportunity to make public comments.
Persons with disabilities should contact Elder Options at least 48 hours prior to the meeting in order to request any special assistance.
On Oct. 16, Chiefland High School's Health Academy freshmen and sophomores had the opportunity to visit Santa Fe College (SCF) in Gainesville.
The students were given a guided tour by the college's health program director. Students were able to closely examine many of the Health Science programs offered at SCF. They include: x-ray technician, nuclear medicine technician, cardiovascular technician, and also the nursing, respiratory and dental programs. They learned what the college has to offer along with a variety of things in the medical field.

Christmas program at Lighthouse Word

Until now, the waste has been collected to burn up on re-entry. What's more, like so many other things developed for the space program, the process could well turn up on Earth, said Pratap Pullammanappallil, a University of Florida associate professor of agricultural and biological engineering.
"It could be used on campus or around town, or anywhere, to convert waste into fuel," Pullammanappallil said.
The annual contract for Chiefland Police Chief Robert Douglas, who has been at the helm of the department for 10 years, was unanimously renewed on Monday by the Chiefland City Commission.
The vote was 4-0 for renewal with Commissioner Rollin Hudson absent from the special meeting. Douglas was given a total of 990 points out of a cumulative score of 1300 and a composite score of 3.74 with 5.0 being perfect.
Chiefland Elementary School's top-scoring students on last year's FCATs got their reward on Friday, Dec. 5, when they "pie-ed" Principal Angela Thomas, faculty and staff in front of fellow students in the fourth and fifth grades.
The pies are really whipped cream on paper plates, instead of the usual crust-filling-cream ones students usually consume.
Drummond Community Bank raised $1,001 at the community bake sale Nov. 26 to support Haven Hospice.
Bake goods were provided by community members who donated their sweet creations to the sale.
"It is such a warm feeling to see the baked goods be delivered from warm, smiling, caring hands that are showing up to support such a great cause," bank Vice President Ben Lott said. "You can tell their lives have been touched by the care and compassion of our Haven Hospice."
Ginger Snips and owner Ginger Nutter celebrated their move and expansion of services with a ribbon cutting and grand opening sponsored by the Greater Chiefland Area Chamber of Commerce.
The new salon is next door to the old one at 107 Rodgers Blvd., Chiefland. With the move, Nutter has doubled the size and number of stylist stations. She also has added a nail salon and a massage area.

Local food pantries — and many of our neighbors — need help.
The holiday season is always a busy time for food pantries. The combination of year-end expenses, holiday pressures, the arrival of the heating season, the loss of seasonal jobs and other factors make for peak demand during December and January.
While food pantries anticipate the increased demand, this holiday season brings never-before-seen problems for food shelves.
Cuts to the federal food stamp program took effect Nov. 1. Those cuts to the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, widely known as food stamps, began with the sunset of higher benefits that were part of the 2009 federal stimulus package meant to help Americans through the recession. Those cuts mean more people are relying on local food banks.
"We really noticed a difference when SNAP was cut," Margaret Beuerlein, director if the Ticonderoga Food Pantry, said. "A lot of people depend on food stamps."
Contrary to common belief, many of those relying on food stamps are working people. In fact, nearly 30 percent of the adults receiving SNAP benefits have jobs.
Also, food stamps benefits aren't exactly big money. The average monthly SNAP benefit per person is $133.85, — less than $1.50 per person, per meal.
"People are really struggling to make ends meet," Beuerlein said. "We're seeing more and more people who have jobs, the working poor. The cost of living has gotten greater than many incomes in our area. People can't live on minimum wage."
The Ti Food Pantry has served an average of 100 families a month in 2013, but in October that number jumped to 178. Beuerlein expects it to grow further.
"That's families," she stressed. "That doesn't count the children. I don't know how many actual people are being served at the food pantry. I know it's more than ever before."

Students pick tips on creative writing from Tibetan writers
[Wednesday, August 01, 2012 18:14]
By Phuntsok Yangchen
Bhuchung D Sonam interacting with school students during a workshop on creative writing at the Upper TCV School, Dharamshala on August 1, 2012. (Phayul photo/Phuntsok Yangchen)
DHARAMSHALA, August 1: Some of exile Tibetan community's most celebrated writers today gave a day-long workshop on creative writing in English to the senior students of the Upper Tibetan Children's Village School, Dharamshala.
Noted writer, Bhuchung D Sonam, who recently launched his latest book, "Yak Horns," a collection of essays on contemporary Tibetan arts and social issues, along with writer and poet Tsering Wangmo and activist and poet Tenzin Tsundue shared their experiences with the students.
This was the first time that the School had organised a creative writing workshop.
"We have been thinking of organising such a workshop because of the student's lack of interest in reading and writing in English," said Ngawang Lhamo, Assistant Headmistress. "The workshop has been especially helpful as all the three writers are from TCV and are like role models and inspirations for our students."
Students actively participated in writing poems with Tsundue and interacted with the other writers on a wide range of topics.
Tsering Youdon, a class XI Arts told Phayul that the workshop was "really good" and learning the art of writing poems was "very interesting."
Thupten Dorjee, a Class XI Commerce student was overjoyed after writing a poem with Tsundue.
"All the students wrote a poem with Tsundue la. Normally it is difficult to write a poem but today I have learnt that we can easily write poems once we start writing it," Dorjee said.
Bhuchung later told Phayul that writing and telling stories play an important part in sustaining the exile Tibetan community.
"Writing and telling our story is important. Being Tibetans, we have to tell our stories," Bhuchung said. "This is one way through which we can sustain and promote ourselves as an exile community."
The writer also encouraged organising such workshops in Tibetan and other languages.
Plans of organising similar workshops in other TCV schools are in the pipeline.

I grew up with the Amish as neighbors and have done plenty of business with them in PA. Your comment is grossly ignorant for this simple fact - the Amish simply wish to maintain their lifestyle and community and do not seek active conversion of anyone else outside the community nor do they own generally own businesses which are against the testaments of their religion unlike Mormons.
From my experience in Idaho, Mormons will gladly own casinos or businesses that sell alcohol/tobacco/caffeine just as long as they don't partake themselves. Also rabid about converting both the living and the dead to the Mormon faith which is why I have such mixed feelings the Mormon faith.

Chakras – Your Psychic Energy Centers
Chakras – Your Psychic Energy Centers
Chakras are circles of spinning energy that are located within your body. In the Sanskrit language, chakra means "wheel," and although there are hundreds of chakras within your body, there are eight major ones. (Most psychic development books usually describe seven of them. However, the eighth one that I will discuss is the one that opens up most widely whenever I connect with the celestial realm. I have heard other intuitives speak about this eighth chakra as well.)
As I describe each of the chakras, just imagine the various colored swirling energies inside the corresponding parts of your body, with cone-like energies extending out the front and back of your body in each area. Ideally, all of the chakras should be equal in size, and clear of unwanted negative energy. (When chakras are either too small, too large, or aren't clear, our ability to connect with the celestial realm will be diminished.)

CARMEL, TEXAS. Carmel was on the Medina River near the site of present Losoya in southern Bexar County. It was settled around the time of the Civil War and by the mid-1880s had a church, a school, and a reported population of 100. A post office, named after the church and school, operated from 1887 to 1889. In the 1890s Carmel was supplanted by nearby Losoya and Cassin and after 1900 no longer appeared on maps.

If you're an SEO professional reporting on the number of links earned, this article is dedicated to you. Our industry is infested with executives evaluating our performance on link numbers, but the truth is links don't tell the whole story.
So what do links really tell you? Let's find out…
Why the Obsession With Links?
The obsession with links can be boiled down to basic human nature. Owning a business is risky, making most business leaders risk adverse. In order to affect change, we SEO professionals positioned our work as calculated risk taking, defined as paying near-obsessive attention to metrics and measurement.
However, our insistence on data is the reason we are held accountable to mere links. Links are a way to instantaneously quantify our activity, providing the much needed "proof" that allows decision makers to sleep better.
Unfortunately, proper measurement of link building ROI is a long-term process, but business leaders want results now. As over-eager SEOs desperate to prove our worth, we pull out the data card and voila! – link numbers come to the rescue.
Reporting on number of links doesn't show ROI. It only shows that an SEO is doing something. Answer this: do links = revenue?
Your answer probably looks something like, "Links improve rankings, so yes they are improving revenue!" And you know what, you're right! However, in that statement links aren't leading directly to revenue. Rather rankings (and a whole lot more) are in between.
The point is, links don't show the whole story, and so merely measuring the number of links isn't showing true ROI. It's only telling us if someone is doing something.
What You Should Be Measuring
This article isn't to say you need to stop reporting on the number of links. They do have their purpose: to put our bosses' minds at ease. And that's OK.
What's not OK is only reporting on the number of links. Rather, you need to do two things:
- Stop calling it link building and start thinking bigger picture.
- Report on the full package of metrics, positioned as both short and long-term goals.
The full package of reporting consists of four tiers:
- Conversions
- Traffic
- Rankings
- Consumption
Before you go into a frenzy thinking "where's the links?!", relax, they are in the consumption stage. These levels can be displayed as a pyramid:
You can think of this pyramid funnel as a timeline. The top of the pyramid will address short-term metrics goals and each subsequent stage will deliver more metrics over time.
Let's dive into a more thorough description of each stage. Note, this is in reverse order, starting from the base up. This is to emphasize the importance of conversions. Also, remember to document historical data for each of these metrics before beginning your campaign so you can compare.
Conversions generally refer to revenue, but in the off case you own a business (say a blog) that doesn't work in monetary measures, we'll refer to it as conversions. This is the most important end goal because we are in business. If we aren't looking at the bottom line, we aren't doing our job.
If you remember one thing from this article remember this: everything you do as a marketer should affect your business' revenue. Thus, make sure all campaigns lead to a conversion end goal.
Typically the data for this report can be gathered 3-6 months from the start of a campaign. Note: it's best to consistently measure the changes in conversions from your campaigns so you can see patterns and draw better conclusions.
Tips for tracking:
- Define the conversion (i.e., revenue, lead, sign-up, etc.).
- Set up tracking and goals in Google Analytics.
A lot of times, changes in conversions come from changes in traffic. Unless your campaign included onsite CRO, you typically won't see changes in conversions unless more people are coming to your site.
Traffic can be measured 3-6 months out from the start of your campaign (unless your campaign included a direct-traffic play). Remember to benchmark these new numbers against historical traffic data.
Tips for tracking:
- Determine traffic increase goals: what would define a success?
- Utilize Google Analytics (i.e., Traffic sources >> Search >> Organic for keyword-targeted campaigns).
- Account for seasonality where applicable (you can use Google Trends).
Go back to our original explanation of how links = revenue and you'll probably remember rankings. You should see a pattern here: links affect rankings, rankings affect traffic, and traffic can affect conversions.
Ranking changes typically occur within 3 months. Note, rankings have become more difficult to track with personalization. Thus, be sure to manage your boss' expectations and explain the limitations.
Tips for tracking:
- Determine what keywords you want to target.
- Remember to turn off personalization.
- Utilize rank checker tools to evaluate performance, such as SEOmoz Rank Tracker or Authority Labs (Pro Tip: use more than one tool to present findings).
With a nod to Jay Baer and his four types of metrics worth reporting, consumption essentially shows how many people consumed your content. Users can interact with your campaign in many different ways, such as social sharing and linking.
We can also measure behind-the-scene consumption metrics, such as views. The beauty of consumption metrics are that they are pretty much instantaneous, allowing you to deliver instant results to your boss.
Tips for tracking:
- Determine the goals for the campaign.
- Implement social tracking via Google Analytics, install a plugin, and set up Google Alerts.
- Utilize link tracking tools and basic organization to track links earned.
- Pull a backlink report on the page in question to do a more thorough report after a few months.
Remember, you're only as strong as what you report on. If you can educate your boss and prove that what you do as an SEO is more than just links, you will be able to position yourself as an integral part of your business' marketing department.

Police call 'Ma' on dropped cell phone, ID suspect
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Thanks a lot, Mom.
Police seeking a man accused of breaking into an elementary school say they identified the suspect by calling "Ma" from the contact list of a cell phone he dropped as he fled.
A police report says officers responding to an alarm at an elementary school in Athens in northeast Georgia arrived in time Monday to see a man running through the cafeteria and out the back door.
Police failed to catch the man, but say he dropped his cell phone as he ran.
According to the report, officers picked up the phone, searched the contact list and called a number marked "Ma." They say a woman who answered gave them her son's name.
The suspect wasn't immediately identified.

Re: Fed Cup 2013 (GO TEAM GB!)
Well it's undoubtedly the best draw we could have hoped for. Slovenia have had some withdrawls both Hergoc and Srebotnik are out so the Dutch could potenitally win that group. Anyway if both Hev and Laura are fit and playing half decently we should really be through to the playoffs.
Agree its Team Heather and Laura + support (no disrespect to Anne or Jo). Lets just hope they take care of the singles so we don't have to play any live doubles rubbers and both can be rested as much as possible! If one was to pick up an injury or something we would be in trouble as neither Anne nor Jo are really playing at that high a level atm. Pity Bally is still out, she has an amazing record at fed cup!

It just doesn't make much sense to move up to 147 to fight Senchenko, then move down again to fight Garcia or another decent 140 pounder. As someone else has said, Senchenko's quite a big 147 pounder so I wouldn't have thought he's gonna want to come down to 140.
If Khan intends to stay at 147 after Senchenko and hopes to catch the Garcia rematch at that weight, then it makes sense, but to go up and down again just to fight Senchenko? Where's the benefit in that, if, as Khan keeps saying, the Garcia rematch is the ultimate goal for a few fights down the line?
Its not like he's jumping up a whole old school weight division, its only 7 pounds for God sakes.
When a fighter gets mullered like Khan did against Garcia there will always be a level of rebuilding and this means fighting lesser boxers, every champion who gets beat in that manner does the same. Its not just to put into practice what has been learned in the gym with his new trainer but its more a confidence builder. Senchenko isn't a bad fight in this context, he isn't a bad fight at all. The only disappointment is that if Khan is looking for confidence building and learning fights at this stage he should be in the ring at least every 3 months

Career Information for a Degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics
The field of prosthetics and orthotics involves designing and fitting artificial limbs or braces. It is a component of the health care field, and individuals working as either an orthotist or prosthetist usually must be certified and licensed.
Orthotist or Prosthetist
Career Information
Although related, the work of a prosthetist and orthotist is not the same. A prosthetist designs, creates and fits artificial limbs on patients who are missing a part or all of a limb. An orthotist, on the other hand, fits braces and other devices to enhance the movement and function of a patient's limbs or spine. An orthotist/prosthetist can make and fit both prosthetics and orthotics. The American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists states that, regardless of whether they work only in one area of the field, most practitioners are referred to as 'O&P Practitioners'.
Education Information
To work as an orthotist or prosthetist, an individual must graduate from an accredited O&P program and complete a 1-year residency, after which the individual may sit for the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics & Pedorthics exam. Board certification is available in either or both fields and is required in order to practice as an orthotist or prosthetist.
Orthotist and prosthetist practitioner degree programs are available at the bachelor's and master's degree levels. However, the National Commission on Orthotics and Prosthetic Education has recommended that all degree programs be at the master's degree level by 2012.
Topics covered in a bachelor's degree program include human anatomy and physiology, spinal orthotics, biomechanics and clinical pathophysiology. These programs also usually include clinical rotations and a senior capstone project. Master's degree programs include courses in plastics, materials and processes, gait analysis, anatomy, kinesiology and neuroscience. These programs include lab work, clinical rotations, capstone projects or exams.
Certification or Licensure
Certification is available through the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics & Pedorthics (ABC) via an exam. Currently, 13 states require O&P practitioners to become licensed; requirements and processes for licensure vary between states. A listing of state licensure requirements can be found at the ABC's website (www.abcop.org).
Salary Information
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that, in 2012, there were 7,890 orthotists and prosthetists in the nation, and these professionals earned a mean annual salary of $69,960 in 2012 (www.bls.gov).
Orthotics and Prosthetics Technician
Career Information
An orthotics and prosthetics technician works under the supervision of an O&P practitioner to fabricate and maintain orthotic or prosthetic devices. Technicians are not generally trained in providing direct care to patients.
Education Information
Certificates and associate's degree programs are available for individuals interested in working as an orthotic, prosthetic or orthotic and prosthetic technician. The length of these programs differs depending on the field of study. Courses cover topics like orthotic and prosthetic equipment and human anatomy. Orthotic programs also provide instruction in upper and lower limb, clinical and spinal orthotics. Prosthetic programs provide instruction in transtibial, transhumeral and transfemoral prosthetics.
Salary Information
The BLS places orthotics and prosthetics technicians in the category of 'medical appliance technicians'. In 2012, according to the BLS, there were 12,230 medical appliance technicians in the nation. Figures from the BLS show orthotics and prosthetics technicians earned a mean annual salary of $38,200 in 2012.

[video] Jim Cramer Quick Take: My Thoughts on Twitter and Sirius XM
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- How will stocks fare this year, TheStreet's Jim Cramer was asked via Twitter?
In responde Cramer pointed to his Real Money article predicting equities could return as much as 14% to 16% this year.
That doesn't mean stocks will do that well, he continued. Cramer wasn't surprised by the weakness in the first few trading days of January given that many investors were likely taking profits after the year-end spike in stock prices.
Cramer thinks investors are now waiting for Friday's nonfarm payrolls report for a buying opportunity.
Asked about Twitter (TWTR), Cramer called it a "love stock" and said he cannot come up with a valuation for it. He said he's "proud" of analysts for not making up reasons to buy the stock near these levels because there are none.
Finally, some investors asked how high Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) can trade following the buyout offer from Liberty Media (LMCA).
Cramer said SIRI could take out its 52-week high of $4.18 if the company told LMCA, its majority shareholder, that it will have to "pay up" if it wants the rest the company. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwellCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Courts in California and Washington have decided in favor of swimmers alleging they were sexually abused by their former coaches.
The California Court of Appeal, Sixth Appellate District, has ordered USA Swimming to turn over all sexual abuse and molestation complaints going back the last 20 years.
The ruling is part of an ongoing lawsuit in which plaintiff Jancy Thompson is seeking monetary damages for the alleged sexual abuse and molestation by USA Swimming certified coach Norm Havercroft. That lawsuit, and several similar suits, claim that the abuse could have been prevented by USA Swimming.
In 2010 former coach Andy King was given a 40-year sentence, after being convicted of child sexual abuse for molesting young swimmers. He worked in several locations on the West Coast. This month one of his former swimmers, now 29, won a $1.5 million settlement alleging King abused her while he was the coach of the Aquajets, a team in Oak Harbor, Wash., from 1994 until 1997. She will receive the settlement from the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District to compensate for the abuse, according to reports.

Build a festive Gingerbread House with Crayola® Model Magic®. Everyone can help decorate-without a kitchen!
Gingerbread has been a sweet treat for a long time. During the Middle Ages, ginger was the second-most traded spice between Asia and Europe. Why? It preserves cakes (and tastes good, too). In England, gingerbread was popular to eat at fairs.
Building houses from spiced cakes is a German tradition. Remember the witch's house in Hansel and Gretel? Gingerbread was often gilded (covered in gold). The word came to mean something that was showy and pretty. Ask students if they have ever heard the term used to describe some kinds of houses?
Provide students with recycled magazines and access to the Internet to seek out pictures of gingerbread houses. Students use these images as motivation to create an original gingerbread house project.
Find a recycled box. Make a roof peak by taping two box flaps into a triangle.
Mix and knead different colors of Crayola® Model Magic® to create the colors you want.
Roll modeling material out into sizes that will cover the box sides and roof. Secure pieces on box, one side at a time with Crayola School Glue. Lay flat to air dry before doing another side.
Pinch and glue sides and roof parts together. Air dry.
With more Model Magic, design a textured roof, windows, doors, a chimney, and other decorative elements.
Glue finished house on recycled cardboard. Add a pathway, shrubs, and light if you wish. Air dry before displaying.
If you want a shiny Gingerbread House, mix equal parts of glue and water. Cover the art area with recycled newspaper. Apply the glaze to your house with a paintbrush. Air dry.

Far from damaging the State Department's credibility by disclosing its internal discussions, the leaks demonstrated the consistency of its diplomats' public and private statements. Assange deserved a medal, Rachman suggested, because the diplomatic cables depict American foreign policy as principled, intelligent, and pragmatic. "That was, perhaps, the best-kept secret of all," he wrote.
This and Manning's sexual identity issues, along with WikiLeak's ties to our alphabet spook organizations lead many to believe these were State controlled leaks. Manning becomes the first transgendered hero furthering the LBGT normalization and the State department under Hilliary appears trustworthy. Of course this could just be misinformation.

York City v Wrexham
Top scorer Jason Walker returns for third-placed York City as Blue Square Bet Premier leaders Wrexham visit Bootham Crescent.
Fifteen-goal Walker missed the recent FA Cup defeat against Wrexham because of an ankle injury but is set to be recalled as the hosts revert to their strongest line-up against the North Wales side."He's okay. He trained for the first time yesterday because, even though his ankle's been fine, he's been ill," York manager Gary Mills told The Press."He completed the whole session with us yesterday and looked sharp. It's good to have him back and he should be all right." Mills was expected to rely on the side unbeaten in their previous six league games and therefore Ashley Chambers, Matty Blair and Andre Boucaud should also return in addition to defensive trio Jon Challinor, Jamal Fyfield and Chris Smith."What a game to put last weekend behind us. It's a six-pointer and a big match even in November," added Mills.
"The players are up for it. We have worked hard and they are ready to get a massive three points.
"I'm confident we can beat anybody in this league if we play how we can and I'm sure we will relish tomorrow's match and show what we are about." Wrexham are likely to be without skipper Dean Keates and Jamie Tolley although fellow midfielder Lee Fowler is back in contention after recent knee surgery.

Top Retailers Mobile Performance Missing The Mark For Holiday Shoppers
DETROIT, Dec. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq:CPWR), the technology performance company delivering a new generation of application performance management (APM), today announced the top three mobile performance trends so far this holiday shopping season. This is based on its analysis of the mobile performance of top U.S. retailers between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday 2013. These trends reveal the critical importance of mobile performance during the holiday shopping season and the impact it can have on the business. For more details on this analysis, click here.
According to Adobe, following record online sales results for Thanksgiving and Black Friday, Cyber Monday saw $2.29 billion in online sales, up 16 percent from 2012 and a record 18.3 percent of sales coming from mobile devices, an increase of 80 percent from 2012.
Compuware APM used its Global Monitoring Service to measure top retailers performance between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, revealing the following mobile performance trends:
Trend 1: Surge in Mobile Shopping The massive increase in mobile device traffic to monitored retail sites started on Thanksgiving Day evening and continued throughout Cyber Monday, with volumes 89 percent higher on Black Friday and 87 percent higher on Cyber Monday, compared with days leading up to the online holiday shopping weekend. While some retailers optimized their sites for the growing demand, many were not prepared for the volume of traffic from mobile consumers on smartphones and tablets. Trend 2: Mobile Performance Continues to Lag Behind A consumer survey conducted by Harris Interactive revealed that 37 percent of smartphone and tablet users will go to a competitor if the response time is more than three seconds. Our data found that page load times during the critical Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday shopping period averaged over 10 seconds, and averaged more than 18 seconds to complete a multiple-step transaction that consists of accessing the home page, conducting a search, viewing a product description, adding items to the shopping cart and reviewing the order. When page load times increase, abandonment rates also increased, causing retailers to lose revenue. Trend 3: The More Optimized the Mobile Site is, the Better it Performs Compuware APM analyzed how much content retailers were delivering (number of bytes), the complexity of the page (number of objects) and how many third-parties were contributing to the site (number of hosts). The analysis found that too often critical pages were overloaded, made too many roundtrips to the server backend to complete each page, and relied on too many third-parties, making them very slow on mobile devices. Highly optimized pages win out when it comes to performance every time.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

This year's concept cars are highlighting two key aspects: sleek-looking designs and eco-friendly powertrains.
Korea's largest carmaker is showcasing a concept car with two highlights: a sleek-looking three-door body and range-extending electric powertrain. By combining a 109hp electric motor and 61hp 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, the i-oniq has a total range of 700km; 120km with pure electricity.
This is the concept car that ushered the new design language into Mazda's latest cars including the CX-5 and 6, both of which have yet to go on sale in Thailand. The Shinari is highly likely to please car enthusiasts who simply cherish staring at a good-looking saloon.

23 November 2009
The Birmingham Library, designed by John Madin and opened in 1974, is the largest civic (non-national) library in Europe. Its boldly confident exterior defines an era of Birmingham's recent history, and its careful internal planning makes it a successful example of an integrated modern facility.
Designed by John Madin and completed in 1974
English Heritage believes that the Library is worthy of Grade ll listed protection. Listing identifies whether a building is nationally important and not whether it must be kept. It is not a preservation order, simply a mark of special interest. Listed buildings can still be demolished once the case has been made and all other options have been explored. We have been working with the City Council throughout, and maintain an open dialogue with them.
In offering the Government our expert advice, we examined all aspects of its architectural interest including: whether it fulfilled its brief; whether it was a particularly good example of a public library; how well it survives; how it compares to other listed buildings of a similar type; and how influential the building has been. In our view, these tests were met.
We are naturally disappointed that Culture Secretary Ben Bradshaw came to a different conclusion and we believe many local people will be too.

Loose Woman and Woman Hollering Creek
Loose Woman
Seductive, earthy, and at times confessional, Sandra Cisneros's vibrant collection of poetry celebrates the females aspects of love--from the reflective to the overtly erotic--in a voice recognizable from her powerful works of fiction.
These poems offer narratives as formally elegant as they are emotional and accessible. They are bound together by the voice of one woman, whose language spands cultures and continents. With a multiplicity of moods tumbling through its lines--joyous and introspective, tender and ruthless, self mocking and sincere, often funny and sometimes wild and ruse--Loose Woman offers intoxicating poems of extraordinary insight and vivid imagining. And what makes this particularly special audio is hearing the poems recited in the author's own voice.
Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories
From the author of the widely acclaimed The House on Mango Street comes a story collection whose characters give voice to the vibrant and varied life on both sides of the Mexican border. From a young girl revealing secrets to a witch woman circling above the village on a predawn flight, the women in these stories offer pure discovery. Woman Hollering Creek confirms Sandra Cisneros's stature as a writer of electrifying talent--and hearing the stories in the author's own voice makes this audio even more poignant.

Alshon Jeffrey and Marcus Lattimore give me nightmares, simply amazing players. But there are reasons why Clemson can win: 1. You haven't beaten us back-to-back since Lyndon Johnson was in the whitehouse 2. Y'all have already wrapped up the SEC East, the SEC title game is the big game and the players may overlook Clemson. This happened last year in the reverse scenario when Clemson overlooked South Carolina for the ACC title game. And with the Auburn looming will the Old Ball Coach be willing to give Lattimore many carries? He has had injury trouble this year, want him fresh as possible for Auburn.

TechnoServe Featured in Global Agricultural Productivity Report
October 24, 2013
The Global Harvest Initiative's new report on food security spotlights TechnoServe's work with the poultry industry in Mozambique.
How can the world boost agricultural productivity to meet increasing demand while conserving environmental resources and improving people's lives? This is the subject of Global Harvest Initiative's fourth annual Global Agricultural Productivity Report.
By 2050, agricultural output will have to double to keep pace with population growth, changing diets and increasing demand.
The report, released last week at the World Food Prize Symposium in Des Moines, Iowa, examines the state of global and regional agricultural productivity. It seeks to identify sustainable solutions to improving productivity across agricultural value chains and the key policies necessary to support these measures.
The report cites four case studies, including TechnoServe's work with Mozambique's poultry industry, to illustrate how well-designed value chain programs can sustainably increase productivity. TechnoServe worked with players along the entire poultry value chain — from farmers and associations to companies and government agencies — to help the industry's sales grow from $25 million in 2005 to $160 million in 2009.

Team Preview: UTEP
The Blue Ribbon College Football Yearbook previews the 2006 UTEP Miners, exclusively on Insider.
For all of the newfound success UTEP has experienced the last two seasons under coach Mike Price, with 16 wins and two bowl appearances and two brief trips into the national polls, the Miners know they could and should have been better.
In 2004, Price's first season at UTEP, the Miners jumped out to an 8-2 record and entered both national polls before losing at Tulsa, falling out of the polls and closing the season with a loss to Colorado in the Houston Bowl.
In 2005, UTEP's first season in Conference USA, the Miners were 8-1 and back in The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since 1984 when they took another turn for the worse. Instead of holding on to their lead in the Western Division and hosting the first-ever C-USA championship game, the Miners closed out the regular season with losses to UAB and SMU and a one-sided GMAC Bowl loss to Toledo.
When a team loaded with 19 returning starters, 48 returning letter-winners and 29 seniors gathered together in March for spring practice, the emphasis was obvious.
"I want to get back to basics," Price said at the beginning of spring practice. "That's a little unusual when you have this many seniors. But I didn't like the way we finished [last] season. We need to learn how to finish strong.
"I think there was a little complacency. As hard as you guard against that, it's still something that happens to people."
By the end of a demanding month of spring practice that focused on hitting, toughness, tackling, blocking and plenty of fundamental football, Price was confident his players understood what they needed to do to become champions.
"We're learning how to finish," Price said. "Obviously that's a major concern for our team, our coaches, our entire program -- everybody. The team really bought into that concern and said, 'we didn't finish strong and we have to learn how to finish strong. We have to learn how to finish practices before we learn to finish games.'
"The players really emphasized that in the spring and they were saying, 'we've got to finish, we've got to finish.' They were working on finishing every rep, every drill, every workout, every practice."
