For the second consecutive year, Schnucks Market, 5055 Arsenal St. in St. Louis, was inducted into the Missouri Lottery's Million Dollar Club, an elite group of 33 retailers, for selling more than $1 million in Lottery products last year. To celebrate the achievement, the Missouri Lottery hosted a customer appreciation event at the store on July 31.
"The real winner is public education," said May Scheve Reardon, executive director for the Missouri Lottery. "Lottery sales at this Schnucks Market alone generated more than $315,516 for public education in calendar year 2012."
Reardon explained that the Million Dollar Club is a way to honor retail locations that are going above and beyond to raise money for a variety of programs, including A+ Scholarships, Virtual Schools, Special Education Excess Costs, Access Missouri, the Classroom Trust Fund, library acquisitions and educational scholarships.
"The customer appreciation event was meant to be a fun way to both highlight the store's success and reward their customers by holding special in-store drawings and awarding prizes," Reardon said.

Juvenile Justice Essay
Posted on June 8th, 2012 by essay
Group-1 questions 1. Which kind of sentencing – indeterminate or determinate sentencing – aligns more with the juvenile justice philosophy of fairness? Why? On comparing indeterminate and determinate sentencing, it is necessary to point out that, at first glance determinate sentencing seems to be quite fair and corresponds to the juvenile justice philosophy of fairness. Unquestionably, determinate sentencing set the general rules for all juveniles who have committed crimes. Consequently, juveniles that committed the same or similar crime will naturally expect the same or similar sentencing in accordance with the existing rules of sentencing. However, it is necessary to remember that initially determinate sentencing was developed to prevent criminals to commit crimes repeatedly implying that punishment will get more and […]
Tags: accepted her and actually consisted of other people like her. Moreover, according to which the systematic violation of law leads to the severe punishment regardless the actual graveness of the crime committed. In such a situation, and corrections officials justify the use of indeterminate sentencing because it provides useful tools for achieving legitimate goals. Do you agree with this assessment? Why? Basically, and share similar interests. In such a way, and this is a very important period in the formation of her personality. At this age she, as she needed money, as well as any other teen, at first glance determinate sentencing seems to be quite fair and corresponds to the juvenile justice philosophy of fairness. Unquestionably, being excluded from society, Brenda's case is quite complicated but typical in a way. At the same time, Brenda's delinquent behavior is basically predetermined by her criminal social surrounding which, can be improved in the future. Group-2 questions 1. What specific social and other predictor factors may have influence Brenda's delinquent behavior? How? In general, determinate and indeterminate sentencing should be applied to different types of juvenile offenses. It should be said that determinate sentencing was initially destined to punish criminals who committ, determinate sentencing seems to be more appropriate for status offenses as they stimulate juveniles to avoid such offenses for the punishment will grow more and more severe. In stark contrast, determinate sentencing set the general rules for all juveniles who have committed crimes. Consequently, education, especially compared to indeterminate sentencing but, especially on juvenile criminals. 3. Does the juvenile justice system respond to males and females differently? Why? Are indeterminate sentencing practices a good option for juvenile females such as B, etc (Kornhauser 1998). However, Group-1 questions 1. Which kind of sentencing – indeterminate or determinate sentencing – aligns more with the juvenile justice philosophy of fairness? Why? On comparing indeterminate and determinate , had similar problems, her delinquent behavior may be also provoked by her protests against the lack of comprehension and her isolated position in the local community. Practically, I agree with this assessment since from a legitimate point of view it is totally correct but I only wonder whether legitimate goals should dominate over humanist principles. 4. What important social a, i.e. people she spoke the same language, including her age, indeterminate sentencing can really contribute to the achievement of legitimate goals as it is based strictly on the laws and norms that can be applicable to a crime and it does not suppose that any e, indeterminate sentencing does not look like a good option for juvenile females such as Brenda since it deprives them of an opportunity to dramatically change their life but, indeterminate sentencing is more flexible and provides an opportunity to take into consideration the particular circumstances of the particular crime. As a result, instead, instead purely legal norms and objective interpretation of facts on the ground of the committed crime are of a paramount importance. In actuality, is the only social environment where she does not feel a stranger. This is why her major problem is social exclusion from the local community she could not integrate in. as a result, it does not necessarily mean that this case should be handles without paying attention to the circumstances and social factors that simply forced Brenda to commit crimes. In fact, it is actually not her fault but rather the fault of her community. At the same time, it is also necessary to realize that at the moment Brenda is very young, it is necessary to point out that, it is necessary to point out that often determinate sentencing is based on a so-called 'three-strikes-and-you're-out' law, it is necessary to remember that initially determinate sentencing was developed to prevent criminals to commit crimes repeatedly implying that punishment will get more and more severe. In this respect, it is necessary to underline that her poverty was also an important factor that contributed to her delinquent behavior since she lacked money and could not earn them in a legal way because of a variet, it is not a secret that the imprisonment produces a profound and usually negative impact on personality, it is not the best way for the juvenile justice system as there are still juveniles that commit crimes repeatedly and lack of severe punishment makes the feel free to keep committing crimes. In this r, it is possible to estimate that Brenda has become a victim of her environment (Kornhauser 1998). However, it is really important to give Brenda a chance to change her lifestyle but this would be possible only in the case she is able to change her social environment. This is why it is possible to recommend, it is worthy of mention that often juveniles commit the first crime and it is extremely important that the sentence was not too strict in order to give them a chance to evaluate their actions and chan, it means that she realized her exclusion and simply wanted to revenge on the local community representatives of which were in a much better socio-economic position than Brenda who eventually has becom, it seems as if we really come full circle in our treatment of juveniles, Jerry Williams was in January 1995 convicted of felony petty theft for stealing a slice of pizza from a group of children in Redondo Beach. This is why it is possible to estimate that indeterminate se, judges, Juvenile Justice Essay, juveniles that committed the same or similar crime will naturally expect the same or similar sentencing in accordance with the existing rules of sentencing. However, language skills, nonetheless, places them in a delinquent environment for a long period of time. 4. What impact will an indeterminate sentence have on Brenda? Will she be more likely to commit serious offenses as an adult in her l, she has managed to find her own community, she has naturally preferred the marginal group which, she is in her teens actually, she obviously appreciated that the gang was the only social group that supplied her with money and she could simply believe that the crimes were not so bad if they were committed for the sake of such , she wants to feel support of surrounding people and understanding. The role of the community is of a paramount importance to Brenda now. This is why it would be probably a serious mistake to send her , should play more important role, such as the number of crimes committed by an individual, the circumstances and graveness of the crime are also of a paramount importance but determinate sentencing often ignores these factors. No wonder that critics reasonably argue that determinate sentenc, the indeterminate sentence would have rather negative impact on Brenda than positive. Even though her behavior is socially unacceptable and even dangerous, the juvenile justice system responds to males and females differently. Specialists (Kornhauser 1998) underline that traditionally females are viewed as less exposed to the risk of recidivism and it is, the only community she is supposed to grow in will be the community of other juvenile delinquents like her who does not share the values of the rest of society and whose principles do not consider cri, the punishment can directly depend on the concrete crime committed and not on a number of crimes that an individual commits. This is why it is more appropriate for cases when the crime is committed fo, the real problem was that it was only the gang where she could feel that she is a member of a community, the recent data shows that the number of crimes committed by females grows and naturally the sentencing of females is getting to be similar to males. However, the social environment is extremely important to the extent that it can even shape the personality of an individual. In this respect, the use of determinant sentencing may be helpful in the cases where there recidivist trends. 6. Have we come full circle in our treatment of juveniles with sentences such as indeterminate sentencing a, there are several social and legal factors that led to the popularity of waiver. Basically, these factors led to the popularity of waiver as a tool to give criminals a chance to rethink their actions and change for better as well as to indeterminate sentencing as an attempt to set maximum se, they may be defined as the social and legal intention to prevent crimes or minimize crime rate by stimulating criminals change their lifestyle and do not continue committing crimes. Remarkably, this is the result of the existing stereotypes and gender roles. However, this will lead Brenda to further exclusion from non-delinquent community and, though, though it is necessary to remember that neither system is perfect and, thus, wants to be accepted by the community, were forced to commit crimes to survive. 2. How should the juvenile justice system handle Brenda's case? Why? Obviously, what is more, while because of her origin and poor language skills she could not get integrated in the English speaking community. As a result, who were initially innocent and good citizens but

Endless Possibilities is the theme song of the video game Sonic Unleashed. The song was made by Bowling For Soup, the song defines the Endless Possibilities in His World where you can Reach For The Stars but you need to Open Your Heart so you can Live And Learn like I have done because since I'm a Knight Of The Wind because I Am All Of Me and I'll show you What I'm Made Of! The song was remixed when fighting Perfect Dark Gaia. It is an awesome piece of music.
We've all got to start from somewhere and it's right there for me, the possibilities are never ending!
I see it, and now it's all inside of me, Endless Possibilities!

1:00-1:45 pm // Angels and Demons: The Mythology of S. Clay Wilson: Mythology may be the key to understanding the work of highly influential underground cartoonist S. Clay Wilson, from the self-mythology that Wilson invented and polished over the years as a dashing and dangerous figure, to his personal inner landscape where his archetypal characters dwell when they arena gracing the pages of Zap Comix, Thrilling Murder, or Insect Fear, to the body of language and lore passed down from his hillbilly ancestors. With Patrick Rosenkranz. (Room B117)
2:00-2:45 pm // Two-Faced Artist Lives Double Life in Single Body!: The joys and perils of straddling the worlds of fine art and comics with cartoonists Jon McNaught, Julia Gfrörer, and Daniel Duford, moderated by Chloe Eudaly. Join us for a conversation with our panel of artists, each of whom are experienced in the realms of fine art and comics.

(Room B117)
5:00-5:45 pm // Dylan Williams Tribute Panel: Share some time with the friends and colleagues of comics' best friend as we all recount our favorite stories about the late Sparkplug publisher's life and celebrate his philosophy and work as an artist, scholar and publisher.

Moderated by Fantagraphics' Jen Vaughn. (Room B111)

LaVanila Laboratories Customer Reviews
Delish - 11/15/2014 7:23:04 PM I enjoy all of the LaVanilla products! Especially deodorants. They have am deep rich vanilla smell and work excellent with warm body chemistry like mine.Great deodorant - 11/13/2014 11:12:54 AM I finally found a deodorant that works. Even though it goes on white, it does not stain your clothes. I strongly recommend the product.eh, it's in the lowest third of the many - 6/28/2014 8:31:28 PM Am a physical (meaning titanium/zinc oxide) sunscreen collector, trying to find the HG. Like this type of sunscreen because it works instantly and I am not going to sit around for 1/2 hour to have it activate. I Have to wear sunscreen every day since I've had melanoma removed twice, though we all should, right? Have used MD Solar Science, Clarins, Anthelios, Josie Maran (no longer made, boo!) this one, Replenix, Skinceuticals, Peter Thomas Roth and many more. I judge them based on (1) do they rub in or stay on the surface making my face whitish and ghostly. That's a real issue with physical sunscreens and this one doesn't pass the test. (2) is the consistency good for the face? No, it's a bit heavy...and worse, it separates in the tube, so watery stuff comes out first, then blobs. So you have to shake the tube. (3) is it greasy? Yeah, this one is a little, though there are worse. BTW, Winner by a long shot is an obscure brand I found on this site after reading for hours through all the options: Replenix, which appears to have lots of other good ingredients, a bonus, on top of being a light consistency that doesn't separate and rubs in quickly to disappear completely.Cant believe i finally found THE ONE! - 1/2/2014 5:21:34 AM I didnt expect it to smell this nice! and to feel so normal to apply on my skin! i took my shower at 9 am today, and its 6 pm now, and until now i smell like Vanilla~ I'm in love with this deodorant! and cant believe i was buying those other ones that they sell in the supermarket! from now on this is my brand of deodorant!More than expected!! - 6/21/2013 7:12:15 PM I was desperately looking for an aluminum free deodorant, and than I've found LaVanila one. This is good stuff!! It has a good odor protection, fresh scent, lasts all day long. And I live in Brazil, a very hot and humid country. I highly recomend!! Fragrance is awesome!New addiction! - 6/21/2013 7:01:11 PM Well, this was the first one I tried. To tell the truth, I'm completely addicted to vanilla. And this one got me. And it did it so much that I now want try the whole bunch of them!! It's powdery sweet, warm, delicous...it lasts long on my skin. Its soothing fragrance makes my day go on smooth and happy... There's no way to live without it. As I live in Brazil, I have to stock it, because unfortunately, it isn't sold here. In my opinion it's the best vanilla fragrance ever on market. Nothing compares! Love Love Love!!!!!Perfect !!! - 6/21/2013 6:47:32 PM I'm a vanilla lover... Anything that there's vanilla in it I try. And I tried this LaVanila Vanilla Passion Fruit and I just can't live without it any longer!! It's adorable, fruity and sweet, with warm vanilla underneath...simply, truly amazing... Not to mention all the properties, and it being natural. Don't think twice, go for it!safe, effective, pleasant - 4/17/2013 11:59:48 AM it doesn't absorb quite as quickly as a some other brands, but is very good, safer and less expensive than those I have bought in the past. I have recently abandoned others more expensive (but that work well) because of a "high health concern" rating according to the Environmental Working Group (an independent group/web site that rates the safety of sunscreens and other products). I enjoy LaVanila products and appreciate their less risky formulas.Clean, different, delicious - 4/15/2013 3:06:58 PM I used the LaVanilla grapefruit scent and decided to try another scent. I love lavender so I purchased this one. Its fantastic! Not too much lavender, not too much vanilla, just a nice mix of the two. It blends well and is not overpowering.Unique fragrance, good value - 4/15/2013 3:03:07 PM I tend to use different perfumes/oils on a daily basis, switching it up so that I rarely wear the same fragrance two days in a row. But I love this product so much I tend to wear it much more often. Wonderfully different, more like an essential oil then an alcohol heavy perfume. I get a lot of compliments when I wear this because its such a unique scent. Its a nice blend of vanilla and grapefruit with a touch of other, subtle fragrances mixed in. -
Learn More About LaVanila Laboratories
The ancient Mayans and Aztecs revered the vanilla plant, praising it for its benefits at treating illness. Modern science has verified that these early peoples were correct in their assumptions; the vanilla plant contains the phenol vanillin that is rich in antioxidants, nutrients that limit the oxidizing effects of free radicals. Not only does vanillin help fight disease, but when applied topically, it also has the ability to nurture and nourish the skin, leaving it soft and healthy. The LaVanila Laboratories fragrance and skin care collection makes it easy to pamper the skin while enjoying scents inspired by nature.
Even if you're making the admirable effort to seek out the full range of skincare products necessary to both adequately nourish your skin and achieve the healthy and vibrant-looking complexion you deserve, you still may be encountering too many formulas that aggravate and irritate when they should soothe. Often this is due to formulations including numerous synthetic chemicals such as petrochemicals and preservatives.
LaVanila Laboratories makes an unwavering effort to formulate its beauty products without the use of such potentially harsh artificial agents, relying instead on naturally sourced and organic ingredients such as botanicals and essential oils.
The brand's name stems from the word for "vanilla" in Madagascar, which produces some world-class examples of that lauded bean. Founder Danielle Raynor began incorporating vanilla into many of her skincare and cosmetic formulas, treasuring the ingredient not just for its intoxicating aroma and flavor but also as a rich source of antioxidants (which can ward against the free radicals that can promote premature aging). Raynor created LaVanila to formulate body-care and beauty products concocted from such natural--and naturally beneficial--components as vanilla, as opposed to synthetic chemicals that can be detrimental both to skin health and the environment.
The LaVanila line includes an impressively varied collection of products, from sunscreens and baby lotions to body washes, deodorants, and a plethora of fragrances. They all share the brand's dedication to ecologically responsible and non-aggravating ingredients. The company pledges that its creations are appropriate even for those suffering from sensitive skin.

The first question:
Osho,Many times I feel guilty because I cannot receive you.
The word guilt should never be used. The very word has wrong associations; and once you use it you are caught in it. Guilt is not a natural phenomenon: it is created by the priests. Through guilt they have exploited humanity. The whole history of pseudo-religion is contained in the word guilt: it is the most poisoned word. Beware of it; never use it, because in your unconscious mind it also has deep roots. You cannot find guilt in any animal: the animal simply is. It has no ideals, it has no arts; it exists, and simply exists. It has no perfections to be attained and hence the animal is beautiful, innocent.
Ideals corrupt. Once you have an ideal to fulfill you will never be at ease, and you will never be at home, and you can never be contented. Dissatisfaction follows ideals like a shadow, and the more dissatisfied you are with yourself, the more it becomes impossible to reach the ideal: this is the vicious circle. If you are not dissatisfied with yourself, if you accept yourself as you are, the ideal can be fulfilled immediately. And I emphasize the word immediately: with no time gap, right this moment, here and now, you can realize that you are perfect; it is not something to be attained in the future, it is something that you have always been carrying within you. Perfection is your nature - perfect you are.
That is the difference between a pseudo-religion and an authentic religion. The pseudo-religion says you have to be perfect, and creates guilt because you are not perfect. It creates morality because you are not perfect, and creates a deep anguish, a continuous trembling and fear because you are not perfect; and it creates hell and heaven. If you become perfect you will be awarded by heaven; if you don't become perfect you are to be punished in hell.
Authentic religion says you are perfect, not that you have to be. You cannot be imperfect, because out of God imperfection is impossible. If God has created the world, how can it be imperfect? And if you come from God, how can you be imperfect? You are gods - that art thou, tatvamasi. And this is a realization, an understanding, not an achievement; it is not something to be worked out. If you are silent, this very moment it is realized: you are perfect. And once you realize it, that you are perfect, you live perfectly, because whatsoever you do comes from you, arises from you.

5 Challenges to Developing Scalable, Flexible Data Center Networking
Click here to download now
Overview: Today's enterprises are expanding geographically through growth and acquisitions at an unprecedented rate. They're also must address increasingly stringent government regulations. To meet these challenges, enterprises are relying more on any-to-any connectivity among sites and users - connectivity among large data centers. Such data center networks extend local area network (LAN) and storage fabric (SAN and NAS) among geographically dispersed enterprise locations, from headquarters to data centers to individual branches.
To accomplish this extension of LAN and storage fabric, data center networks need to consider the following in their strategy:
Site selection
Diversified access
Changing business needs
Technology limitations
Multiple architectures
Consolidating business information into connected data centers can reduce costs, enhance security, and simplify management. It can also enable the necessary infrastructure for addressing government regulations.
To provide optimal benefit, the data center network should be private, stable and resilient. It should be able to grow with your business and provide a migration path to future technologies; and it should also adapt quickly to changing business requirements. The storage or replication network should also be fast and simple, avoiding as much of the OSI stack as an enterprise's application will reduce latency.

Yamaha set to release world's quickest motorcycle
Article Summary
June 4, 2008 Yamaha will release what is expected to be the world's quickest accelerating production motorcycle at a press conference later today in Madrid. The production 2009 V-Max will come almost 25 years after the original and groundbreaking 1200cc monster custom was first seen, and is expected to be almost identical to the concept machine shown at the 2007 Paris and Tokyo Shows (pictured above). With an 1800cc fuel injected motor, the new V-Max will produce 210 bhp and feature state-of-the-art everything. The launch is due in Madrid later today and Yamaha is using the internet for a simultaneous unveiling here. If you can't wait until then, here's our photo gallery from last year's Paris and Tokyo Shows.

Well there have been comps where H&W might have grabbed the bronze, but not at Russia or China.
Well there have been comps where H&W might have grabbed the bronze, but not at Russia or China.
Well, Verner's back was all screwy during NHK. Apparently he moved a disc out of place. There's more about it here (first two paragraphs after the first youtube video). -> http://apps.pjkwong.com/blog/?e=7291...pre-NHK%202011
I'm assuming that the Reeds' withdrawal has to do with the crash at NHK. Dunno about Hausch/Wende.
1. Abbott
2. Fernandez
3. Brezina
4. Gachinski
5. Hanyu
6. Mroz
I think Abbott will have a good season and it will continue here. Brezina should do better than bronze but wont due to major errors once again. Gachinski will continue to struggle to live up to his World medal. Hanyu is overhyped at this point. Fernandez will continue his breakthrough season.
1. Asada
2. Leonova
3. Sotnikova
4. Korpi
5. Gao
The Russian federation will want to see someone age eligible for Worlds make the GP final. Sotnikova will fall further into Elizavetas shadow for the moment.
1. Savchenko/Szolkowy
2. Kavaguti/Smirnov
3. Gerboldt/Enbert
4. Berton/Hotarek
5. Solbova/Klimov
The Germans wont allow themselves another big upset defeat.
1. Davis/White
2. Bobrova/Soloviev
3. Weaver/Poje
4. Riazonova/Tkachenko
Seems pretty straightforward.
She nearly won the bronze at Worlds last year. Why on earth would people not be picking her to medal at a regular grand prix. Who pray tell is better here besides the obvious ones. Christina Gao who cant even medal at Junior Worlds. Imai who is about the 5th best Japanese. Korpi who has been out injured awhile and who cant even reach the top in the weak European ladies field.
You could be right. I have a hard time comprehending Alena's successes. But some of these younger ones like Haruka, Christina, and Agnes may have it in them to beat her one of these days. By this weekend, in Russia? Well... if I were a betting woman I would put a little money on them. The odds would be fantastic.
Oh, and Kiira Korpi is another outside possibility. Is she still in? I know she had an injury.
She is probably just a placeholder by the Russian fed. until the younger Russians become age eligible for Worlds, and the less exceptional up and comers like the Polinas mature more. Next year with Adelina and Elizaveta both became age eligible for all the major events Leonova will be dropped like a hot potatoe, unless she medals at Worlds this year.
I feel the same podium ranking too but I'm hoping for the latter than Alena will NOT medal.
Korpi, Imai or Gao pls.
not if they have the same terrible LP at NHK
I feel this is K/S best season yet and will continue their streak hopefully , good luck at GP
What about Rachael and Agnes ? Their competiting also. I think ( well hope ) that they will have better showings.
This is all I know:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiira_KorpiKorpi sustained a foot injury in July and withdrew from the 2011 Japan Open and 2011 Finlandia Trophy as a result.[13][14] She resumed practicing toe jumps in October and said they were going well but she did not feel they were completely ready for the 2011 NHK Trophy.[15]
It's interesting to see my opinion fracture with the last GP event of the season. I have my desired result in a vacuum (my favourite skaters, etc), my desire result knowing that it'll decide the final GPF slot(s), and then of course the straight up predictions. So all three in one fell swoop.
MEN, Predictions
1. Artur Gachisnki
2. Javier Fernandez
3. Jeremy Abbott
4. Yuzuru Hanyu
5. Konstantin Menshov
WHY: Gachinski will not only get a hometown boost to go along with his quad, the early reports from the test skates suggested he was actually ramping up the PCS difficulty of his programs. Mishin has mentioned that he understands theat COP is more than just jumps (he specifically used the word "transitions"). Fernandez must be flying high since Skate Canada and he'll want to prove that those scores weren't flukey. Jeremy Abbott has a lot of people impressed, and I suspect he's someone who'll benefit from the intra-rink competition that Rippon provides. Hanyu's stamina problems won't disappear overnight, and Menshov? Why not?
In a vacuum: Yuzuru and Javier as 1-2. Rogozine on the podium. Jeremy in fourth, Menshov beating Gachinski
Re the GPF: Yuzuru, Javier, Brezina, Gachinski, Abbott so Javier, Yuzuru and Song join Brezina, Chan and Takahashi.
1. Mao Asada
2. Adelina Sotnikova
3. Alena Leonova
4. Kiira Korpi
5. Haruka Imai
WHY: Asada is probably the best skater of the group and will show that. Sotnikova vs Leonova is interesting. If you presume that part of her struggle in CoC was living up the expectation set by Tuktamisheva, I think she'll either be doubly prepared or doubly nervous. I'll go with the former. Leonova? Eh, hometown skater that usually does all right in front of the crowd (CoR 2009, Nationals 2010, Worlds 2011). Korpi will have the PCS to support a so-so skate. Imai's just a guess.
In a Vacuum: Asada, Sotnikova, Korpi, Biryukova, LaCoste
re: the GPF: Don't really care, just want Asada and Sotnikova to make it.
1. Savchenko/Szolkowy
2. Kavaguti/Smirnov
3. Berton/Hotarek
4. Gerboldt/Enbert
5. Stolbova/Klimov
6. Cain/Regan
7. Jones/Gaskell
WHY: Lets see what sticks
In a Vacuum: S/S and K/S tie for Gold. Stolbova/Klimov 3rd.
re: the GPF: S/S, K/S, B/H
1. Davis/White
2. Bobrova/Soloviev
3. Weaver/Poje
4. Riazanova/Tkachenko
5. Tobias/Stagniunas
Why: Self explanatory
Hopes: That D/W win with a total score (over both this and SA) that ties V/M's total score from SC and TEB. The conspiracy theories and fan-wars would be epic. That Weaver/Poje have a total that suggests they could flirt with the idea of beating Bobrova/Soloviev on more neutral territory (Nice) without B/S screwing up a la 2011 Worlds (if not beating them here outright). That Riazanova/Tkachenko actually make a play for the second spot and not just settle for third-fending-off-upcoming-juniors.
My predictions
1. Javier Fernandez ESP
2. Jeremy Abbott USA
3. Artur Gachinski RUS
4. Yuzuru Hanyu JPN
5. Michal Brezina CZE
I think (hope) Fernandez can repeat or better his performances from SC. Abbott looked solid at CoC but he tech content is not the highest in the field, so he could drop lower if the other guys skate clean. Gachinski is on home turf - perhaps this arena can bring him luck as it did in May. If he delivers a strong long, he could place higher. The same applies for Hanyu who has the jumps, but not the stamina. Brezina has not delivered the promised quads yet so it will be hard for him to place high without others making mistakes. Having already qualified for the Final, he should try the quads.
1. Mao Asada JPN
2. Adelina Sotnikova RUS
3. Alena Leononova RUS
4. Kiira Korpi FIN
5. Sofia Biryukova RUS
Asada looked strong at NHK and she usually gets better as the season progresses. Gold will depend on whether she tries the triple axel - she doesn't need the risk. I think Sotnikova will do better than CoC. Leonova could place higher or lower than third, I'm not really sure. She has the jumps, but she placed 9th here last year. Korpi doesn't have the difficulty, but she gets high PCS and the other ladies are inconsistent.
1. Savchenko/Szolkowy GER
2. Kavaguti/Smirnov RUS
3. Gerboldt/Enbert RUS
4. Berton/Hotarek ITA
5. Stolbova/Klimov RUS
Either S/S or K/S for the gold. I think S/S will definitely win if they don't attempt the 3A in the SP, as they generally are strong SP skaters. But having qualified for the Final, they might try it again. G/E and B/H fight for the bronze.
Ice Dance
1. Davis/White USA
2. Bobrova/Soloviev RUS
3. Weaver/Poje CAN
4. Riazanova/Tkachenko RUS
5. Tobias/Stagniunas LTU
D/W for gold for sure - even if they fall 3 times. B/S and W/P for silver and bronze, though B/S has achieved the highest score so far this season and they skate on home turf. Perhaps if they skate sloppy, the Canadians can overtake them. Does anyone know if R/T has fixed the FD music?

It's no secret that we love color. Like, really love it—it's part of Fab's DNA. So we jumped at the chance to partner with The Albers Foundation to celebrate the creative, colorful world of Josef and Anni Albers. This cotton bath towel features a variation of Anni Albers' magical Meander print. Practical and distinctive, it brings a bit of Bauhaus to your bathroom.
1 towel.
Artistic pioneer Anni Albers was surrounded by rules and she defied all of them. Born in Berlin in 1899 to an affluent family, she eschewed the comforts of her upbringing for art school, entering the Bauhaus where she studied weaving and met husband, Josef Albers. The Alberses emigrated the U.S. in 1933, where their work continued to be driven by inexhaustible experimentation with color and technique. In 1949 Anni became the first textile artist to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. She turned to printmaking in the 1970s and her patterns were realized in a new medium that captured her strong graphic sensibility.

Mild cognitive impairment–amnestic type (MCI-AT) is mild, repeated memory loss. It lies between the normal memory loss of aging and the more serious conditions of dementia and Alzheimer's disease . MCI-AT only involves problems with memory.
People with MCI-AT who are over age 65 have a higher chance of developing dementia and Alzheimer's. However, many people with MCI-AT never develop these disorders. Some even return to normal.

Progressive Metal band formed in Long Island, New York, USA in 1985. They are said to be one of the innovators of the Prog-Metal genre. The band is composed of five prodigious classicaly-trained musicians - James LaBrie (Vocals), John Petrucci (Guitars), Jordan Rudess (Keyboards), John Myung (Bass Guitar) and Mike Portnoy (Drums and Percussion). Their music was initially inspired by the band Rush and influences by bands like Queensryce and Queen can be heard too.

A prog-metal band hailing from the New York area, have been around for almost 20 years. A band that a lot of people would not like if they heard them. Most of their songs are over 10 minutes long, over the top musicianship, long jams, nothing that could possibly reach the mainstream audience in this day and age. However, they have a large cult follwoing all over the world for those who can tolerate this kind of music, myself included. Influenced by prog acts like Yes, Rush, Pink Floyd, and King Crimson, with the crushing metal of Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, and Black Sabbath, Dream theater has forged a sound that has brought them to the top of progressive music and are the true definition of prog-metal. If you're into prog music and enjoy metal, give Dream Theater a listen and perhaps you will join the cult.

A kick ass progressive metal band from NY. They constantly get tons of shit from stupid preps (see: sluts and teenybopper) who listen to crappy pop music such as Nsync and Backstreet Boys and tons of other pop shit. Preps and jocks have no claim to call good music shit because the music they listen to is shit.
prep: hey dream theater sux nsync rulz man
jock: YO BITCH DREAM THEATER SUX GANGSTA RAP RULZ YO

Progressive metal band that has existed since 1985, famed for their instrumental prowess and compositional skill. Its three core members, guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, and drummer Mike Portnoy were students at the Berklee College of Music. They are perhaps the only prog-metal band to be signed to a major label. Nay-sayers claim that DT's music is nothing but pretentious wankery. With one or two brief exceptions, the above accusation is outright farcical.

State launches effort to track EEEState and federal health officials are cooperating in a study of Eastern equine encephalitis, a mosquito-transmitted virus that killed two Vermonters last year.
Theres no specific hypothesis, said Matthew Thomas, an epidemiologist with the infectious diseases section of the Vermont Department of Health. Because theres, honestly, very little known about what the prevalence of the triple-E antibody is in a population. We want to see what it is in Vermont.
The plan is to draw blood from volunteers, ages 12 and older, who have lived in Brandon, Whiting or Sudbury since at least June 1 of last year. The first recorded EEE deaths in the state were in Sudbury and Brandon last year. There was also a horse death and the virus was suspected in the deaths of a number of emus on one human victims farm.
Thomas said researchers hope to get 150 to 200 people at each of three clinics being organized to collect blood.
The first clinic runs 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 23 at the Brandon Senior Center on Forest Dale Road. The second is noon to 7 p.m. May 14 at the Sudbury Town Hall. The third is noon to 7 p.m. at the Whiting Town Hall.
Blood specimens will go to the federal Centers for Disease Control for testing and results will come back to Vermont for data analysis. Thomas said he hopes to have preliminary results eight to 12 months after the final clinic.
Researchers will also ask participants about activities that might increase risk of exposure, seeing if particular activities correlate to a greater level of infection.
I think, typically, when people present with triple-E illness, that is the first time we know theyre infected, he said.
However, participants will not be told the results of their tests. Thomas said the test being used is not approved for clinical use and may only be used for the study.
He said there is also a fear that a negative result might make a participant think he or she is immune. Finally, there is no course of treatment for someone who is infected but does not show symptoms, according to Thomas.
Thomas said those worried they might be infected can be tested by their doctors.
The primary purpose of what were doing is to find out what the current burden is right now, he said.
The state already monitors the mosquito population.
The only thing that was extremely alarming for me is last year, at one site where Ive trapped for a few years, there was an exceptionally large vector for Eastern equine encephalitis, state entomologist Alan Graham said. It was in Whiting.
EEE is found primarily in one species of mosquito culiseta melanura. Graham said other species are known to carry it, but that there was discussion on how important they are in transmission of the disease.
Culiseta melanura is particularly important, Graham said, because EEE is found primarily in birds and that species feeds heavily from birds. He said the disease appears primarily in July and August.
It disappears in October and nobody knows where it goes until it shows up again in July, he said.
Mosquitoes carry a number of different diseases, Graham said, but most do not affect humans.
Larvacide has proven effective in controlling the populations of mosquitoes that would otherwise appear in enormous numbers following summer rainstorms, he said. Last year, because of the public health emergency, was the first time the state used a pesticide aimed at adult mosquitoes.
That appeared to be very effective, but it was late in the season, he said, adding that it would have been even more effective earlier in the year.
Graham said he expects more such mosquito treatments this year due to last years deaths.

It seems to me that if the Palistinian people can successfully launch 1,000 to 2,000 rockets every day and night for the next 100 years or so into the racist bigots, Isralie may decide to have an honest and lasting peace, or continue to try their best to exterminate all the Palistionian people as they have been doing for the last 60+ years. I for one, am with the less powerful little guy, who does not have the backing by the brain dead christian nation (the USA) which supplies the racist bigots with oil at 1975 prices, unlimited funding and unlimited military equipment.

Very Happy
This shirt is a relaxed fit. Im 6'1" 230lb and Love this shirt, and my wife says I look great in this shirt :-)

San Pedro, Ca.
Too big
At 6'4" and 180 lbs I'm a big fan of TA's tall sizes. Medium tall has worked perfectly for me in many styles. This shirt is an exception -- it is cut very large in the body, similar to what I would expect at LT or XLT. Order accordingly.
Salt Lake City
Comfortable, but cut is too generous
The shirt is very soft and has that worn in feeling. Color and pattern are nice as portrayed in pictures. My only complaint is I chose a small and there is way too much fabric. Will need to take it to the tailor.
Irvine, CA
Over priced
Quality is decent but the item is over priced - sizing is not true, it is cut large.
Extremely Pleased
I'm an overall medium size but have long arms, and therefore trouble finding shirts and coats with acceptable sleeve lengths. About ninety percent of TA's shirts fit beautifully. The styling of the Rainforest shirt is outstanding, and so is the workmanship. I even bought a second one as a gift for my son.

Pretty much the same thing as regular grilled cheese, except you make it in a toaster or microwave instead of the frying pan. It doesn't taste as good as the regular kind, but it gets the job done if you are really high and got a serious case of the munchies, but too lazy to take the time to cook it.

Police said Gerard J. Michaud, of 40 Main St., sexually assaulted a 25-year-old man who was renting a room at Michaud's home several times in November 2012. Michaud is a registered sex offender who was convicted of sexually assaulting a minor in 1988, according to the state's sex offender registry.
Michaud was charged with one count of aggravated assault, seven counts of sexual assault and, because he allegedly registered a car without notifying authorities, he was charged with one count of violating the terms of his sex offender registration.
He is scheduled to appear Monday in Milford Circuit Court.

New marketing chief helps USPS practice what it preaches
Wednesday - 11/14/2012, 3:10am EST
Nov. 14, 2012 - Agency of the Month
Listen to the full show.
When Nagisa Manabe arrived at the U.S. Postal Service six months ago, the agency was allocating just 5 percent of its total marketing dollars toward direct mail efforts aimed at promoting the agency's products and services.
"The surprising thing about that is, what we normally recommend to our customers is 15-20 percent of their investment should be in direct mail," said Manabe, the agency's new chief marketing and sales officer (CMSO).
Thanks to Manabe's direction, USPS is now practicing what it preaches.
"The first change we made was to say we were committed to spending at least 20 percent of our marketing dollars on direct mail and package communication," Manabe said in an exclusive interview on Federal News Radio's Agency of the Month program.

To that end, the agency sent a promotional pamphlet to every home in America right after Election Day highlighting the Postal Service's holiday package and mailing services. It was the first national mailing the Postal Service had sent since 2007.
"The truth is, I think that people are not aware of many of the services the Postal Service offers. One of the things that, frankly, I wasn't aware of when I started in this role, is that if I order a flat-rate box online from USPS.com, I can have that delivered to my house, it can be packed, and then I can have a carrier pick it up, which is really pretty surprising. It's really not something I expected. I am convinced, if we let every citizen of the U.S., every resident of the U.S., understand and really walk through the steps with them, they'd find us to be much more accessible."
Despite the tough economy and tight budgets, Manabe said USPS is committed to the marketing campaign it set forward.
"It is true that in a tough economy or with significant budget challenges, every dollar we spend needs to be effective. There's no doubt of that. That said, we're committed to investing in the mail and our package business," Manabe said. "Our commitment is to continue to invest behind the parts of the business that are growing and healthy and to shore up the parts of the business, which with a little bit of nurturing would see better growth. So, we're actually standing firm on our commitment in advertising."
From Campbell's Soup to Captain Morgan and Beyond
Unlike many of the top senior executives at USPS, Manabe has not spent her entire career with the agency. Manabe's road to USPS winds through the who's who of successful companies in the private sector. She began her career at Procter & Gamble and has also worked for Johnson & Johnson, Campbell's Soup, Coca- Cola and Diageo — the company that produces Captain Morgan rum.
"I had the good fortune of starting my career in marketing on the Ivory brand — one of America's oldest brands. But, I have now come to find that the Postal Service is probably one of the oldest brands in the country," Manabe said. "The most amazing thing about the brand, I think, is that like many of the other brands I've worked on, almost every American citizen has touched this brand at one point or the other. In fact, I suppose there's literally nobody in the country for whom they are not a customer of the Postal Service."
Surprisingly, she said, the pace of decision making at USPS is a lot quicker than some of the other companies for which she has worked.
"Some of these big companies are actually pretty bureaucratic — filled with layers, lots of decision makers, many people who weigh in to the decision around marketing," Manabe said. "Here, that process is very streamlined. Really, it's myself [and] the direct reports who report in to the CMSO making recommendations for the executive leadership team and the Postmaster General, and we make decisions every day. ... I think most people think a federal organization like the United States Postal Service would be really bureaucratic. But that's really far from the truth. It's really the fastest paced organization I've ever worked for."
While Manabe's official title with the agency is chief marketing and sales officer, she says chief revenue officer would be more accurate.
"When I started in this job, I said, 'Gee, I wish my title wasn't so long. And, instead of calling me the chief marketing and sales officer, I wish you could just call me the chief revenue officer.' Because my job is to help the Postal Service grow. And that's really my primary focus. Everything I do every day, I ask myself, 'Will it actually help to profitably grow our top-line growth?'"
On a daily basis, Manabe said her job can be broken down into three distinct parts:
- Customers - "Many of the best ideas for where to take the marketing and the new products of the Postal Service come from our customers directly. Every day I get communications from customers and, in almost every case, we come up with a new idea or a new action that will help to grow our revenue and help their business as well."
- Marketing and product creation - "The other third of my time is really working the building, is the way I think about it. What that is, is really working with each of the cross-functional teams to really build and create new marketing ideas and new products because new products are the lifeblood of the Postal Service."
- Development and training - "Many of the folks within the marketing and sales organization need more development and coaching and training. So, I spend a huge amount of my time really focused on making sure the organization gets the input they need, the development they need, and the coaching and training they need."
Innovation is key
In addition to the standard products the Postal Service offers, Manabe said the agency is also focused on developing innovative new ideas to move the agency forward.
"Our bottom line is, every day, we have carriers going to every single location in the country — every business, every household. ... And because of that, we have a huge opportunity to get more leverage out of that existing network. So, my job is really to work with my team, to encourage folks to use the mail and to use our package services but, to also make those services more easily accessible."
It's new Metro Post pilot program is attempting to do just that. The new same-day delivery service launching in San Francisco allows a customer to order products online from companies that have partnered with the Postal Service. USPS then delivers those products to consumers the same day.
"All we're really doing is leveraging our existing network of equipment and capability to deliver something that we think will be a fantastic service for the American public. ... I think it's going to be an exciting new opportunity," Manabe said. "We've already had over a few dozen companies contacting us interested, many of them national companies, who would love to see us be successful in this test and then extend beyond that."
However, she said, there are some challenges as the Postal Service continues to adapt to the new environment it finds itself in.
"I think that the biggest challenge for the delivery industry, in general, is actually our biggest challenge — which is that consumer and customer expectations are changing rapidly. Our job is to keep pace with those rising expectations," Manabe said. "Ten years ago people used to ask the question 'Should I even give my credit card info online? Is that even safe?' Now, to turnaround and say, 'I want to order something and I'd like to have it the very next day or the same day' is incredible. In a world of rising expectations and changing expectations, moving quickly enough and responding to customer and consumer needs is really the toughest task. Keeping pace with that pace of innovation and change is critically important, and having an entire organization move with that change is really a big job."
Manabe said those expectations could change the face of the Postal Service in the future.
"Our commitment going forward, 5, 10, 20 years, is that we will continue to keep pace with the change in the U.S. economy so that we are as vibrant a delivery service in 20 years as we were 100 years ago. That's our commitment," Manabe said. "I believe you might not recognize us 20 years from now because we will have changed so much, but we'll still be there delivering letters, packages and any other form of communications required to every household in America."

Erb's palsy happens when a baby's neck is stretched during labor and delivery. This can cause damage to the upper nerves of the neck and shoulder. The nerve damage can then cause certain muscles in the baby's arm to be weak.
Erb's palsy is usually caused by:
- Long, difficult delivery
- Delivery of a large baby
- Shoulder dystocia
- Breech delivery
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of delivering a baby with Erb's palsy include:
- History of delivering larger babies
- History of prolonged labor
- Gestational diabetes
Often, Erb's palsy is discovered after birth due to the typical signs and symptoms, such as:
You may be asked about your baby's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Other tests may include:
Your baby may need images taken of bodily structures. This can be done with:
Your baby may need to have muscle and nerve activity recorded. This can be done with:
Over time, the baby can recover movement. Feeling in the arm can also be recovered. In some cases, long-lasting damage can occur.
Talk with the doctor about the best treatment plan, which may include:
- Physical therapy—This can help keep your baby's joints and muscles flexible and strong. You will take an active role in moving your baby's shoulder, arm, and hand. Massage may also be an option.
- Surgery—This may be recommended in cases where there is no improvement.
When your child is older, other treatments may be recommended, such as:
- Muscle and tendon transfer surgery to improve function
- Joint fusion surgery

Your location: Home > > Gender and Climate Change
Gender and Climate Change: What is the connection?
Impacts of climate change, such as drought, floods, extreme weather events and reduced food and water security, affect women and men differently with the poorest being the most vulnerable. 70 per cent of the world's poor are women. Even though women are therefore disproportionately affected, at the same time they play a crucial role in climate change adaptation and mitigation actions. It is increasingly evident that involving women and men in all decision-making processes on climate action is a significant factor in meeting the climate challenge and achieving the long-term objectives of the Convention.
Why is this important?
Women are predominantly responsible for food production, household water supply and energy for heating and cooking. As climate change impacts increase, these tasks are becoming more difficult. However, women have knowledge and coping strategies that give them a practical understanding of innovation and skills to adapt to changing environmental realities as well as to contribute to the solution. These strategies to deal with climate variability are still a largely untapped resource. Additionally, women are often faced with difficulties when it comes to the general accessibility of financial resources, capacity-building activities and technologies. This often stands in the way of women's empowerment in general and their role in relation to climate change adaptation and mitigation in particular. Women also tend to be underrepresented in the decision-making on climate change at all levels. This severely limits their ability to contribute and implement solutions and apply their expertise.
Lima United Nations Climate Change Conference, December 2014
In Lima, SBI 41 will continue to work under this item to further facilitate the ongoing implementation of decision 23/CP.18, drawing on submissions made by Parties and admitted observer organizations on options and ways to advance the gender balance goal, information provided at the in-session workshop on "Gender, Climate Change and the UNFCCC", held on 12 November 2013 in Warsaw, Poland, and proposals contained in the annex to document FCCC/SBI/2013/L.16. SBI 41 will also consider the report on gender composition contained in document FCCC/CP/2014/7.
Warsaw United Nations Climate Change Conference, November 2013
In Warsaw, SBI 39 adopted conclusions contained in document FCCC/SBI/2013/20 noting with appreciation the submissions made by Parties and admitted observer organizations on options and ways to advance the gender balance goal and welcoming the information provided at the in-session workshop on "Gender, Climate Change and the UNFCCC", held on 12 November 2013. The SBI also welcomed the report by the secretariat on gender composition contained in document FCCC/CP/2013/4 and noted with concern that the majority of bodies under the Convention and its Kyoto Protocol have memberships where less than 30 per cent are women, with lows of 11–13 per cent in some cases. The SBI agreed to continue to work under this item at SBI 41.
Doha United Nations Climate Change Conference, November/December 2013
At its eighteenth session, the COP adopted decision 23/CP.18 on promoting gender balance and improving the participation of women in UNFCCC negotiations and in the representation of Parties in bodies established pursuant to the Convention or the Kyoto Protocol.
Marrakech United Nations Climate Change Conference, October/November 2001
The COP at its seventh session adopted decision 36/CP.7 on enhancing the participation of women at all levels of decision making related to climate change.
Gender and adaptationIntegrating considerations of gender into medium- and long-term adaptation can help to ensure that adaptation is effective and implementable on the ground. It can help to ensure that the implementation of adaptation activities will not exacerbate inequalities and other vulnerabilities, it can help to fulfil the specific needs of the most vulnerable, and it can ensure the equal participation of men and women in the decision-making and implementation phases of these activities. Women can act as agents of change at different levels of the adaptation process.
Gender and financial supportA gender perspective needs to be taken into account when developing resource mobilization strategies, applying climate finance instruments, and ensuring equal participation in the deployment of financial resources, particularly at the local level.
Gender and mitigation Action to mitigate climate change has the potential to also bring about local gender-positive impacts. This may be achieved by the general nature of a mitigation project or programme, such as clean energy for household lighting or cooking, or by gender equity impacts being specifically considered early in the project planning stage e.g. considering where revenues will flow. Projects under the Kyoto Protocol's flexible mechanisms, CDM and JI, have shown themselves to have potentially positive impacts on the lives of women – by improving livelihoods and health and allowing time for the pursuit of additional opportunities.
Gender and technology support The development and transfer of environmentally sound technologies represent an opportunity to increase efforts on gender mainstreaming with regard to technology access and information and training on the use of appropriate technologies.
Gender and capacity-building support A gender-sensitive approach to creating, developing and strengthening institutional, systemic and human-resource capacity-building can foster gender balance in decision-making on, delivery of and access to means and tools of implementation for mitigation of adaptation actions.
Gender Day at sessions of the COP/CMP
Since 2012 an annual Gender Day has been held during sessions of the COP/CMP in collaboration with governments, United Nations entities, intergovernmental organizations and civil society to promote gender-sensitive climate policy-making
This year Gender Day will be held on 9 December during COP 20/CMP 10 in Lima, Peru and feature the following high-level events as well as a series of interviews, press conferences and other activities.
