1988 Mazda B-Series Deflectors
Each year, cars are modified slightly or new models are introduced. When there are external alterations to any car, the deflectors used with the previous models may no longer remain suitable for it. However, deflectors for other cars whether or not from the same manufacturer may become more suitable with such model. Because of such problems, car accessories are not manufactured by carmakers. Instead, they are produced and marketed by auto parts manufacturers. 1988 Mazda B-Series deflectors available at CARiD.com include the bug deflectors from automobile parts manufacturers such as WeatherTech and Lund. These also deflect small stones. The sunroof air deflecting parts from EGR are also available for the 1988 Mazda B-Series. Deflectors are in a way protectors, so they are often referred to as shields or protectors. Some of these deflectors are used to specifically deflect any stone pieces that can break the headlamp covers.

1988 Mazda B-Series GTS Side Window Deflectors
Auto parts are certainly beneficial for every vehicle. Each part has a designated purpose according to the auto owner's needs. That is the reason why the auto market has not ceased to create auto parts or accessories and products that are generally essential for every rider.
Like other deflectors, 1988 Mazda B-Series deflectors are made from acrylic sheets. There is other hardware as well for easily fitting these parts on the vehicle. At times 3M adhesive tapes are used for fixing these deflectors. This is a great change from former deflectors, which required drilling holes on the metallic frame of the car. Such deflectors are available in colors that do not look odd because they have to be fixed externally. The contours of these parts are also designed to blend well with the exteriors of different vehicles. Because deflectors are basically plastics, they are not costly. Yet they are easy to maintain and very long lasting parts. Many countries in Europe have mandatory rules regarding light deflection, as bright headlights are often the cause of road accidents in such countries. Therefore, different types of headlight deflectors are available for 1988 Mazda B-Series cars.

Jerome Russell's Punky Hair Color
KarneshaLove This!!This is the best hair color that I have eeeever used. I used flamingo pink in the first pic, and about 4 months later I used Vermillion Red. The color looks great, and it makes your hair sooo shiny.posted Feb 3, 2010Link to this post
HeatherLove Itits amazing lasts forever and smells to die for :DDDD it did turn everything in my bathroom pink along with my tub lol this pic is of my hair after a few washes before it was too dark but it lightend up nicely :] *TIP mix it with conditioner it doesnt take a lot of the hair dye to turn the conditioner pink and that way it comes out cotton candy pink instead of really dark AND it lasts forever you can make the color as light or as dark as you want :]posted Jan 25, 2010Link to this post
BrittersLast The Longest.I have been using other hair dye products and found myself re-dying my hair ever two weeks. I was getting frustrated that nothing was really staying in my hair. Then I when I walked into one of the stores that I shop at often, one of the sales clerks pointed out this brand of hair dye. She told me that her friend uses the same brand and it stays in for several weeks. So I decided to give it a shot. I I bought a bottle and used it. I ended up loving this brand. Yes it does stain everything BUT it is the only hair dye that lasts over a month in my hair. Not only that but it also changes colors with my hair type so I get a variety of colors. I am in love with the turquoise. xD I love this product though and it is always gone at the store I buy it from.posted Nov 26, 2009Link to this post
NoelleSunny, CaliforniaStain Shmainthis is the only product I trust on my clients who want fashion colors, of course it stains everything its a direct dye, they all do. Its basically the concept of food coloring for your hair to stain it a awesome bright color. As a stylist, rule of thumb is if it doesn't stain everything including your hands, its not going to last in your hair, bottom line. Punky color is the only color line that has enough pure pigment to stain and last in bleached hair, thank god for it because it makes me a whole lot of money and my clients really pleased. they don't mind the staining or running of the color, anyone who is a true fashion color user knows the drill and is willing to have a purple tub for a couple days for some sick purple hair.I used it on my whole head every 4 weeks and have gained a whole lot of clients by my own hair as an advertisement. oh yeah and a few squirts of Clorox will take it right off honey in a jiffy. punky rocks don't let anyone tell you otherwise.posted Oct 19, 2009Link to this post
ChelseaA Purple Nightmare!This has to be the worst hair dye I have EVER used. It tinted my bathtub completely ( I knew it would to some extent but this was ridiculous) it stained my hands and fingernails when rinsing it out too. And while washing it out in the shower it stained my body as well. And I went to go straighten my hair when it was dry and when running my hands through my hair it stained them AGAIN. And it got on my straightener too. I had to wash my hair 6 times with shampoo and twice with conditioner to stop it from coming off onto my hands with such great intensity. It STILL lightly is staining my hands and the foam from the shampoo in the shower is still a deep purple. I will NEVVEEERRR use this again. Although after all of that hard work, mess and frustration the color does look nice. But it's definitely NOT worth the trouble you could get the same affect without the mess with Special effects hair dye.posted Oct 10, 2009Link to this post
SuzanPlum Rocks!I've been using the the Punky Colour for 20 years! It is the best! Yes, your shower, pillowcase, etc . get stained, but it washes out! The color in your hair is vivid and long-lasting. There's nothing else on the market like it!posted Sep 24, 2009Link to this post
NadiChicago, IL USAHappy I Found This Again!Way back in high school I used Punky color and LOVED it! Then one day I couldn't find it anywhere (this is before I really discovered internet shopping) so for 4 years I used what ever else I could find including Manic Panic, Special effects, raw, fudge (also a great product but not easy to find), Jazz whatever crappy color in a pink bottle, N'rage (lol) and some other lame brands. None of them were really comparable To Punky Color. When I found it being widely sold again was SIKED! and switched right back to using it. Most recently i used their Plumb color and after a month of no touch ups it still looks hawt!posted Sep 17, 2009Link to this post
StaciaMissoula, Montana USAFlamingo PinkI used Flamingo Pink and it turned out very nicely. At first it was a very dark magenta color. However, when the sun hit it, it was beautiful with various shades of pinkish purple. Now the dye has faded to to very nice, rich hot pink color. I really love it! The dye smells amazing and I only had to use half a jar to do my whole head, when before I had to use an entire bottle of Manic Panic or Color Jamz. I have read lots of reviews on here about people having problems with the color running, staining and rubbing off, but I have had none of those problems. The dye sticks to my bleached hair very nicely. The water in my shower did have a very slight pink tinge of the first two weeks, but that has always happened to me with any dye that I've used, permanent or not. Overall, I am very happy with this product. It lasts a long time, smells great, looks great, isn't messy (for me at least), and the price is very reasonable. I would suggest this dye to anyone who is going for a crazy hair color :)posted Sep 13, 2009Link to this post
RosieNotthingham, UKRubine, Ebony, And Violetoh my goodness. So, I had recently gotten into the hairdying world, which is fabulous, of course, and started out with the ten dollar rubbish they've got at like, tescos, boots, etc. those of course didn't last very long, and the colours were awful. ANYWAY. so, I had punky recommended to me by a mate, and bought rubine red, violet, and ebony which were all fantastic. I first used the rubine and ebony, and let me tell you, the dye wasn't even fully faded when I redyed it three and a half months later. Twas still a very reddish-pink, though the black had faded to green, blue, purple and all matter of colours. Twas rather charming! So yes. Five stars, A****, and Two thumbs up!posted Sep 7, 2009Link to this post
TheaMaryland, USAHairColor Treated HairBrilliant!I must say that this has by far been the best, brightest, and most long-lasting dye that I have ever used. I had originally used it on a bleached-out bottom layer of my hair while the rest of my hair was black, and the bright pink (Flamingo Pink) lasted well over a couple months, even with regular shampooing. I will warn you that if you drop it on -anything- at all, it -will- stain it. So be exceedingly careful and have someone help you if you think you can't get the product on your head without making a mess. If you rinse it out properly and lightly shampoo right after you've processed, you shouldn't end up with any color transfer from your dry hair. But I will say that you will -never- have a color-free shower or bath until it all wears out. I love this product, and will continue using it for certain! <3posted Sep 3, 2009Link to this post

Ortiz aims to capitalize on return to Majors
Going for second 2013 win, Blue Jays' starter will face Rays' Cobb
The last time he pitched, Ramon Ortiz picked up his first victory as a starter in more than six years. Now he has a chance for his second in six days.
Ortiz will take the ball for the Blue Jays on Tuesday night as they play the second of a three-game series against the Rays at Rogers Centre. Alex Cobb will go for Tampa Bay, which dropped Monday's opener but has still won nine of 12.
There have not been too many surprises of the positive variety for the last-place Blue Jays this year, but Ortiz has been one of them. The 39-year-old right-hander, in the big leagues for the first time since 2011, has held the opposition to two runs on 10 hits in 12 innings over two starts after beginning the year at Triple-A Buffalo.
On Wednesday against the Giants, he notched his first win as a starter since April 22, 2007, when he was a member of the Twins. That was also the last year in which he started more than two games at the highest level.
"He probably never envisioned that he was going to be in this situation where he was going to be making starts in the big leagues again," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "Now he's getting it, and he's taking advantage of it."
Ortiz said afterward that he was feeling confident in using all of his pitches in any count. At the same time, he will most likely have to improve his underlying numbers if he is going to continue to succeed. In those two starts, he walked six while striking out two.
Strikeouts were no problem for Cobb on May 10, when he collected 13 against the Padres but gave up three runs in only 4 2/3 innings, tossing 117 pitches. On Thursday, the 25-year-old righty regained his efficiency by using 92 pitches to hold the Red Sox to one run on three hits over 6 1/3 innings, with six strikeouts.
Cobb has produced six quality starts in eight tries and leads the Rays by averaging 6 2/3 innings per outing. He said he was pleased with the adjustments he had made.
"Actually the Red Sox were a little more aggressive than I thought they would be," Cobb said. "So it was kind of an in-game adjustment. I saw that pretty quickly throughout the first couple of innings.
"This is the same type of team. It could be either way. I think that with my walk rates being kind of low, teams are being kind of aggressive on me right now. That's just something I'm going to have to feel out in the first couple of innings and make adjustments as soon as possible."
Rays: Longoria firing on all cylinders
• Third baseman Evan Longoria went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBIs on Monday, extending his career-high hitting streak to 14 games. In 22 games since April 26, he is batting .389 with 11 doubles, a triple, four homers and 18 RBIs.
Combine that with his typically stellar defense, and Longoria has found a new level.
"It's the best baseball I've seen him play day in and day out, offensively and defensively," manager Joe Maddon said. "Everything about his game has been superb, and it's been fun to watch."
• Reliever Josh Lueke took the loss Monday, surrendering three runs on one hit and four walks in two-thirds of an inning. The right-hander had strung together four straight scoreless appearances since his season debut May 10, issuing one free pass in 3 2/3 innings.
Blue Jays: Gose makes season debut
Outfielder Anthony Gose was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday and made it into the game as a defensive replacement for Melky Cabrera in left field, going 0-for-1 at the plate. The speedy 22-year-old hit .223 in 189 plate appearances for Toronto last season and was hitting .227 this season for Buffalo.
Despite a recent slump and the lack of an opportunity for consistent starts, Gose is back in the big leagues. Gibbons plans to take advantage of his strengths.
"He'll help us in different ways," Gibbons said. "He's a defensive specialist. He'll steal you a base, great baserunner. He's been here before, and we like him."
Gose has racked up 233 stolen bases in 551 Minor League games, including 70 at Double-A New Hampshire in 2011. He also stole 15 in 56 big league games last year. This season, he has only five but said that was due more to playing for a potent offense on a good team.
"I was batting two-hole," Gose said. "We've got guys in front of me batting .490, you know .380, .340 behind me, so there was no real dire need to really steal any bases early on in the season."
Worth noting
• Cobb has never pitched at Rogers Centre. He made his only career appearance against the Blue Jays last August, giving up one run over seven innings.
• Cobb owns a 4.74 ERA in three road starts this year, and his career ERA is nearly a run higher away from Tropicana Field.

Should you add Bahamas to your Indie/RTW trip?
[All content and prices updated July 2013]If packaged tourism, surrounded by American hotels and restaurants, has an epicenter, this would be the capital. The more than 700 islands are home to resort, after resort, after resort (and then add another million) for the legions of Americans who come to pretty much be in another version of America - only on an island in the Caribbean. Welcome to the Bahamas!
As indie travelers, it's difficult (but not impossible) to get outside of the resort and cruise scene, as there are only a few hostels or backpacker type places, like the Surfer Haven's Guesthouse. There are ways to head to the Bahamas and have an indie travel experience, but you're going to have to put forth more effort than most other places. If that's not your style, we suggest heading to many of the other islands in the Caribbean that are more geared towards indie travel (like Puerto Rico).

Multistate Outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium Infections Linked to Peanut Butter, 2008–2009
Posted February 19, 2009
Click here to go to the Final Update
This outbreak appears to be over. However, Salmonella is an important cause of human illness in the United States. More information about Salmonella, and steps people can take to reduce their risk of infection, can be found on the CDC Salmonella Web Page.
On this Page
Outbreak Highlights
- Case count is 654 in 44 states with latest confirmed, most recent reported illness beginning on February 3, 2009
- The outbreak is continuing, though the numbers of new cases have declined modestly since December. Many recently ill persons report eating peanut butter and other recalled peanut-containing products.
- FDA and CDC are concerned that illness will continue to occur if people eat recalled peanut-containing products that are still on their shelves at home.
- Consumers should check at home for recalled peanut butter containing products and discard them.
- Major national brands of jarred peanut butter found in grocery stores are NOT on the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) recall list.
- Consumers may use FDA's online database to see if foods are on the recall list. Those without Internet access may call 1-800-CDC-INFO(available 24 hours a day, seven days a week) for product recall information.

CDC is collaborating with public health officials in many states and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate a multistate outbreak of human infections due to Salmonella serotype Typhimurium.
As of 9PM EDT, Wednesday, February 18, 2009, 654 persons infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Typhimurium have been reported from 44 states. The number of ill persons identified in each state is as follows: Alabama (2), Arizona (13), Arkansas (6), California (76), Colorado (16), Connecticut (10), Florida (1), Georgia (6), Hawaii (5), Idaho (16), Illinois (10), Indiana (9), Iowa (3), Kansas (2), Kentucky (3), Maine (5), Maryland (10), Massachusetts (48), Michigan (36), Minnesota (41), Missouri (14), Mississippi (7), Nebraska (1), New Hampshire (13), New Jersey (23), New York (30), Nevada (6), North Carolina (6), North Dakota (17), Ohio (94), Oklahoma (4), Oregon (12), Pennsylvania (19), Rhode Island (5), South Dakota (4), Tennessee (13), Texas (9), Utah (6), Vermont (4), Virginia (21), Washington (19), West Virginia (2), Wisconsin (5), and Wyoming (2). Additionally, one ill person was reported from Canada.
Among the persons with confirmed, reported dates available, illnesses began between September 1, 2008 and February 3, 2009. Patients range in age from < 1 to 98 years. The median age of patients is 16 years which means that half of ill persons are younger than 16 years. 21% are age < 5 years, 17% are > 59 years. 48% of patients are female. Among persons with available information, 23% reported being hospitalized. Infection may have contributed to nine deaths: Idaho (1), Minnesota (3), North Carolina (1), Ohio (2), and Virginia (2).
On November 10, 2008, CDC's PulseNet staff noted a small and highly dispersed multistate cluster of 13 Salmonella Typhimurium isolates with an unusual DNA fingerprint or pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) pattern reported from 12 states. On November 25, CDC's OutbreakNet team, working with state and local partners, began an epidemiologic assessment of that cluster, which had increased to 35 isolates. On December 2, CDC and state and local partners began an assessment of a second cluster of 41 Salmonella Typhimurium isolates. The PFGE patterns of the second cluster were very similar to the patterns in the first cluster and were first noted by PulseNet on November 24, as a cluster of 27 isolates that had subsequently increased to 41 isolates. Neither of these patterns were seen previously in the PulseNet Salmonella Typhimurium database. The clusters also appeared similar epidemiologically, so the two patterns were grouped together as a single outbreak strain, and the investigations were merged.
The outbreak can be visually described with a chart showing the number of persons who became ill each day. This chart is called an epidemic curve or epi curve. The epi curve and information about interpreting it may be found here. It shows that most illnesses began after October 1, 2008. Illnesses that occurred after January 21, 2008 may not yet be reported due to the time it takes between when a person becomes ill and when the illness is reported. This takes an average of 2 to 3 weeks. Please see the Salmonella Outbreak Investigations: Timeline for Reporting Cases for more details.
The numbers of new cases have declined modestly since the peak in December. However, the outbreak is continuing. Many recently ill persons report eating peanut butter and other recalled peanut-containing products.
FDA and CDC are concerned that illness will continue to occur if people eat recalled peanut-containing products that are still on their shelves at home.
Consumers should check at home for recalled peanut butter containing products and discard them.
Outbreak Investigation
The investigation is ongoing, and CDC and state and local public health partners are continuing surveillance to identify new cases or ill persons and to interview ill persons to ask about a range of exposures to peanut butter and other peanut-containing products.
Peanut Butter
Preliminary analysis of the first national case-control study conducted by CDC and public health officials in multiple states on January 3 and 4, 2009, comparing foods eaten by ill and well persons indicates that peanut butter is a likely source of the bacteria causing the infections.
An investigation by the Minnesota Department of Health suggested King Nut brand creamy peanut butter as a likely source of Salmonella infections among many ill persons in Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture Laboratory isolated the outbreak strain of Salmonella Typhimurium from an open 5-pound container of King Nut brand creamy peanut butter. King Nut creamy peanut butter is distributed in many states to establishments such as long-term care facilities, hospitals, schools, universities, restaurants, delis, cafeterias, and bakeries. It is not sold directly to consumers and is not known to be distributed for retail sale in grocery stores.
The Connecticut Department of Public Health Laboratory and the Georgia Department of Agriculture independently isolated Salmonella from unopened 5-pound containers of King Nut brand peanut butter. Officials in Connecticut have identified the Salmonella found in their container as the outbreak strain. Further tests are pending in Georgia to determine if the Salmonella in their container is also the outbreak strain.
The Michigan Department of Community Health isolated Salmonella from an unopened 5-pound container of King Nut brand peanut butter. They have identified the Salmonella found in their container as the outbreak strain. For more information, you may view a table that summarizes the several different strains of Salmonella identified during the outbreak investigation related to peanut butter and peanut containing products.
To date, 17 clusters of infections in five states have been reported in schools and other institutions, such as long-term care facilities and hospitals. King Nut brand peanut butter was present in all facilities.
King Nut is produced by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) in Blakely, Georgia. King Nut peanut butter was not sold directly to consumers but was distributed to institutions, food service providers, food manufacturers and distributors in many states and countries. Peanut butter and peanut paste is commonly used as an ingredient in many products, including cookies, crackers, cereal, candy, ice cream, pet treats, and other foods.
Other Peanut-Containing Products
To clarify whether other peanut-containing foods are associated with the outbreak, CDC along with state partners conducted a second national case-control study. Between January 17 and 19, 2009, telephone interviews were conducted with 95 persons who became ill with the outbreak strain and 405 well persons. Preliminary analysis of data received as of 9PM, Sunday, January 28, reveals an association between illness and consumption of pre-packaged peanut butter crackers, specifically with Austin and Keebler brands.
Austin and Keebler brand peanut butter crackers are produced by the Kellogg Company in North Carolina, using peanut paste from the Peanut Corporation of America. On January 14, 2009, the Kellogg Company put a precautionary hold on these peanut butter crackers, and on January 16 recalled these products. Other peanut containing products produced by a variety of companies may have been made with the ingredients recalled by PCA. CDC and state health departments continue to investigate the association of other brands and foods that contain peanut butter with illness.
Salmonella Typhimurium was isolated in Canada from Austin brand peanut butter crackers purchased in the United States. Officials in Canada have identified the Salmonella found in these peanut butter crackers as the outbreak strain. Salmonella resembling the outbreak strain was isolated by a private laboratory from three intact packages of Austin brand Toasty peanut butter crackers obtained from a patient's home in Oregon. For more information, you may view a table that summarizes the several different strains of Salmonella identified during the outbreak investigation related to peanut butter and peanut containing products.
On February 6, Oregon public health officials confirmed that this Salmonella outbreak can also affect pets. One laboratory-confirmed case of Salmonella in a dog from an Oregon household was reported, and further characterization of this Salmonella isolate is pending. Salmonella resembling the outbreak strain was isolated by a private laboratory from recalled dog biscuits from this dog's household. More information on how this outbreak may affect pets is available to consumers. Information for veterinary professionals is also available.
On January 28, 2009, PCA announced a voluntary recall of all peanuts and peanut products processed in its Blakely, Georgia facility since January 1, 2007. In addition to peanut butter and peanut paste, the expanded recall includes roasted peanuts and other peanut products and was based in part on laboratory testing information from the company. On January 28, 2009, the facility reported that production of all peanut products had stopped. For the latest information on the PCA recall, please visit the FDA website.
More than 2000 peanut-containing products produced by a variety of companies may have been made with the ingredients recalled by PCA. The list of currently recalled products can be found on the FDA website. FDA and the product manufacturers are working to determine the list of affected products, which may be extensive. Many companies have already announced whether their products include ingredients being recalled by Peanut Corporation of America, Georgia, and more companies are expected to make similar announcements. The current list of recall announcements from companies and more information about FDA's investigation can be found at the FDA website.
Based on available information, CDC and FDA recommendations include:
For consumers
- Major national brands of jarred peanut butter found in grocery stores are NOT on the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) recall list.
- Any product that is on the recall list should be disposed of in a safe manner. Any recalled product should be thrown away to prevent Salmonella infections in humans, pets, or other animals. This product should be disposed of in a closed plastic bag and placed in a sealed trash can to prevent people or animals, including wild animals, from eating it.
- Consumers also should avoid eating products made with peanut butter, peanut paste, or other peanut-containing products if they are unsure whether these products have been recalled.
- Consumers with pets should know that some pet foods and pet treats may contain peanut butter, including dog biscuits and bird food. If you have a recalled pet product in your household, do not feed it to your pet or other animals. Consumers also should avoid feeding products made with peanut butter, peanut paste, or other peanut-containing products to their pets if they are unsure whether these products have been recalled. For more information about this outbreak and your pet, you may visit Questions and Answers Related to the Salmonella Typhimurium Outbreak and Pets.
- To determine whether a product has been recalled, consumers can search the list of recalled products at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website or telephone the company that distributed the product at the phone number on the package.
- Consumers without internet access can telephone 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for product recall information from the FDA website and for other information on salmonellosis.
- Persons who think they might have become ill from eating peanut butter or peanut-containing products should consult their health-care providers.
- Infants, elderly persons, and persons with impaired immune systems are more likely than others to develop severe illness.
For retailers
- Stop selling recalled products.
For directors of institutions and food service establishments
- Ensure that they are not serving recalled products.
For manufacturers
- Inform consumers about whether their products could contain peanut butter or other peanut-containing products from Peanut Corporation of America. If a manufacturer knows their products do not contain peanut-containing products from PCA, they should inform consumers of that.
To date, no association has been found with major national brand name jars of peanut butter sold in grocery stores.
For more information
- For the latest information about the epidemiological investigation, go to the CDC Salmonella Typhimurium Outbreak Investigation Update website.
- For the latest information about recalled products, go to FDA Salmonella Typhimurium Outbreak site.
- More general information about Salmonella can be found on the CDC Salmonella website.
Public health officials will advise the public if more products are identified as being associated with the outbreak.
Clinical Features/Signs and Symptoms
Most persons infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12–72 hours after infection. Infection is usually diagnosed by culture of a stool sample. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Although most people recover without treatment, severe infections may occur. Infants, elderly persons, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely than others to develop severe illness. When severe infection occurs, Salmonella may spread from the intestines to the bloodstream and then to other body sites and can cause death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics.

CDC's Role in Food Safety
As an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), CDC leads federal efforts to gather data on foodborne illnesses, investigate foodborne illnesses and outbreaks, and monitor the effectiveness of prevention and control efforts. CDC is not a food safety regulatory agency but works closely with the food safety regulatory agencies, in particular with HHS's U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Food Safety and Inspection Service within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). CDC also plays a key role in building state and local health department epidemiology, laboratory, and environmental health capacity to support foodborne disease surveillance and outbreak response. Notably, CDC data can be used to help document the effectiveness of regulatory interventions.

I do hope she would win Worlds or get a silver medal. Good luck to Akiko and Ashley and Mao! I love the programs of these 3 girls! Super skaters with the total package.
I do hope she would win Worlds or get a silver medal. Good luck to Akiko and Ashley and Mao! I love the programs of these 3 girls! Super skaters with the total package.
Akiko Suzuki is the supreme peacock!
It's exciting to see how a peacock can hold of the swans
But there will be only one swan program at the GPF; unless you're referring to Ashley's "Black Swan" program from last season.
Birds seem to be very popular in skating: Rushing Wings of Dawn, Firebird, Swan Lake, The Swan, Black Swan ...
(Or maybe just swan programs. )
Samantha Cesario i think skates to the black swan
This is what should happen if both skate clean, I'm not too sure it will though. Akiko constantly doesn't get the PCS she deserves, and that just might make the difference. I think Akiko is the better overall skater, and for now her programs are slightly more difficult (3T3T in SP and 2A3T in FS). But for whatever reasons, the jugdes love Ashley more by now (yes I know she earned that through consistency and stuff, but that doesn't change Akiko's case at all).Originally Posted by suzuki27
Assuming everyone in the GPF is clean, I'd think it would be pretty close after the SP. Ashley might even end up with the lowest BV here, Liza and Julia have the hardest jumps, Mao has the spin and step levels, and Kiira and Akiko at least have the 3T+3T (plus Akiko has a 3L). It's going to be interesting for sure.
Anyway, concerning the thread-title: I don't like the way it's written, bcause it makes it sound as if Akiko was rather ugly. Not true at all
Rewatching her FS today, I must really take off my hat to Akiko. What an impressive woman.
It seems the more they push her down, the more she came back with fire and vigour. She had the skate of her life yesterday (The Brit Euroguys correctly calls it) at age 27. If she is to retire tomorrow, she can hold her head up high and said 'I did THAT at NHK' and nobody can take anything away from her. Medals/podium Pppffaaaa... who needs it!!! Skating memorably will outlast any medals that is given out annually, and I will remember this performance Akiko Suzuki.
Regardless how I have felt about her choreography &portion of her performance that didn't go with her chosen subject, she has really sold it well yesterday. By all standards, it was an amazing Akiko performance. Her effort was A++, well done!!
Last edited by os168; 11-25-2012 at 09:31 AM.
I accepted that katelyn Osmond was good enough at Skate Canada to beat Akiko. But NHK was a joke. Akiko was magnificent while Mao was a disaster
Welcome, sk8ingcoach. Thanks for posting.
All I know is, now that we've had the chance to see Akiko's program on TV here in the eastern U.S., that's an awfully impressive second-place performance! She was magnificent, easily the best in the long program.
Some of you are a bit hung up on the importance of 3-3 in the LP. Suzuki already has 7 triples (2 of them lutzes). The only thing a 3-3 would give her is the chance to add a second 2a.
A double axel is worth several points so it still would be worth adding if possible (not just for Suzuki but anyone). I think the judges also give you some extra credit if you are doing a triple-triple, boost your PCS, and in general are more generous in your scores. If you are not one of the judges favorites like Suzuki apparently is it is a wise thing to add one, she defintiely needs something more to break from the pack it seems.

Los Angeles, CA – The world's largest sports and humanitarian event is coming to the world's capital for media and entertainment. The Special Olympics International Board of Directors announced today that Los Angeles, California will be the host site for the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games.
In less than four years, Los Angeles will welcome more than 7000 Special Olympics athletes from 170 nations to compete in 21 Olympic-type sports. The Special Olympics World Summer Games will return to the United States after 16 years, having last been held in the United States in 1999 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The most recent World Summer Games were the 2011 Games that recently concluded in July in Athens, Greece. The 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games are expected to bring more than a half-million people to the greater Los Angeles area and will be held in summer 2015 (specific dates still to be announced).
"On behalf of our entire Special Olympics movement worldwide, I am thrilled to award our 2015 World Games to Los Angeles," said Dr. Timothy P. Shriver, Chairman and CEO of Special Olympics. "Bringing our World Games to a city as powerful and prominent on the world stage as Los Angeles will allow our Special Olympics athletes to showcase their talents and demonstrate to the world the best in sports."
At a press event at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles today a memorandum of agreement was signed by Shriver and Patrick McClenahan, Chairman of the Los Angeles Bid Committee, who now transitions to become the President &CEO of the 2015 Special Olympics World Games Organizing Committee.
"In a city full of movie stars and all-stars, our Special Olympics athletes will be the stars of this show as they demonstrate their skills, courage and joy. Los Angeles will provide the world stage necessary to create the awareness that leads to increased acceptance and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities throughout Southern California, the nation and the world," said McClenahan.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was also in attendance at today's event and said, "We are thrilled and honored to be selected as the international city to host the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games and look forward to showcasing the remarkable skills and inspiring passion of Special Olympics athletes."
Along with Shriver, McClenahan and Villaraigosa, others who gave remarks at today's Special Olympics press conference included: Loretta Claiborne, Special Olympics Athlete Spokesperson and member of Special Olympics International Board of Directors Games Committee; Tim Leiweke, President and CEO of AEG; C.L.Max Nikias, President of the University of Southern California; Don Knabe, Los Angeles County Supervisor; and Rafer Johnson, Los Angeles' own Olympic legend - 1960 Olympic Gold Medalist in the Decathlon - and Founder of Special Olympics Southern California.
The event was co-hosted byDonna DeVarona, Sports Broadcaster and Olympic Swimming Gold Medalist and Co-Chair, Special Olympics International Board of Directors Games Committee and Dustin Plunkett, Special Olympics Southern California athlete, International Global Messenger and member of the Los Angeles 2015 Games Bid Committee.The press event also featured a parade of nearly 20 Olympic legends and 20 Special Olympics athletes.
Every two years, thousands of Special Olympics athletes worldwide come together to showcase their athletic skills and celebrate the spirit of Special Olympics, which celebrates nearly 50,000 events a year. The first Special Olympics World Games took place in 1968 and since then have evolved into a world-class sporting event, attracting a wide range of sponsors, supporters and media. Alternating between Summer Games and Winter Games, Special Olympics World Games bring public attention to the talents and capabilities of people with intellectual disabilities, helping to change attitudes and break down barriers that can exclude them from the mainstream of the community.
Special Olympics World Summer Games Athens 2011 were held in Greece, and the next Special Olympics World Games will be the 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Korea. The Special Olympics World Winter Games PyeongChang 2013 will be held from 26 January to 6 February 2013 in PyeongChang, Korea; more information can be found at www.2013SOPOC.org.

Global corporate partners include: The Coca-Cola Company, The Procter & Gamble Company, Mattel, Inc. and the Mattel Children's Foundation, and Hilton Worldwide. Lions Clubs International is also an official global partner of Special Olympics.

Hey, Event Apps: Why So Serious?
Over the past several years event apps have been soaring in popularity, and it's easy to understand why.
The event details you need are accessible on the go and not reliant on a WiFi connection. Plus, these apps make event organizers' lives easier by making it easy to manage event logistics and monitor and report on actual activity in real time.
They also save time and money by eliminating the need for an expensive box office or point of sale equipment, and they save trees because you don't have to print out so many event packets.
There's a lot to love, but why are event apps so boring? Conferences are usually enjoyable get-togethers (most of the time, anyway), while event apps are often dull and unmemorable collections of bland grids and lists.
So how do you design a meaningful and fun event app that people will remember long after the event is over? The web design agency I work for, Saforian, used DrupalCon Portland, an event we were attending and interested in, as a test bed for developing an event app.
We wanted to understand how people respond to event apps and how to make them better in the future. When we were planning our AtDrupalCon app, we looked at apps for past DrupalCons and other technology conferences and couldn't stop yawning. Our goal was to develop an app with playfulness and great UX that provided real, useful information in a timely fashion. We created an all-in-one immersive app to make it easy for conference goers to see the schedule, find fun things to do in Portland using location-based services, and connect with others via Twitter.
Our app was experimental because it was only used by a small group of people (DrupalCon attendees), in a certain place (Portland), and at a certain time (May 20-24, 2013). Here are some insights we learned along the way.
Standing Out From The Crowd
Event apps naturally have a limited lifespan. So how do you make an app memorable so people are still talking about it after the event is over?
Portland has a vibrant culture built around a renowned culinary scene, hordes of breweries, and oodles of outdoorsy activities. Inspired by the quirky Portland brand (after all, one of their slogans is "keep Portland weird") we created an app that catered to the Portland culture by telling a creative story about a rivalry between a grizzly bear, Remington, and a lumberjack, Clyde. To bring the app's characters to life, we paired vivacious illustrations with an original backstory to give them personality and flair.
By now you may be wondering—why is a lumberjack punching a bear?
With the influx of mobile apps, app markets, and online stores, users are inundated with an ever-growing number of choices, with almost infinite purposes and capabilities. There are hundreds of thousands of apps available, and it can be almost impossible to stand out in the crowd. So how do you distinguish your app? Don't be afraid of coloring outside the lines. For our app, we created a quirky, eye-catching logo of a lumberjack punching a bear.
By now you may be wondering—why is a lumberjack punching a bear? Here's the scoop. Clyde is a socially awkward lumberjack who has been living alone in the Oregon mountains ever since he was abandoned on a school field trip at age 10. His ex BFF Remington, also known as Remy, is a womanizing grizzly bear who loves gourmet cooking. One day, while canoeing down Little Crater Lake they spotted Emma, a beautiful Drupal wiz who invited them to join her at DrupalCon. Now, the fight for Emma is on as Clyde and Remy venture out of the woods for the first time to compete for her affections.
On the app's support site you can make Remy and Clyde fight using keystrokes SDC and KJN.
Creating Great UX For The Target Audience
In the early stages of developing this app, we brainstormed the top reasons why someone at DrupalCon would want to use an app. For example, we determined they would need a schedule of the sessions with room numbers, conference speakers, and the level of difficulty associated with individual courses. They would also want to maximize their time in Portland and find fun things to do without going through the hassle of researching. Finally, they would want an easy way to connect with other attendees, so we incorporated a Twitter feed.
One of the advantages to developing an event app for DrupalCon was that the target audience for the app was Drupal developers who are tech-savvy and likely to report with feedback and bug alerts. We got some great feedback to incorporate for our next Drupalcon app, like providing the ability for users to personalize their schedules, improving accessibility for deaf and blind users, and developing an Android version in addition to an iPhone version.
Pushing The Envelope With UX
We thought that our target audience would appreciate a fun user interface that motivated users to move through the app. Apps that perform poorly or don't offer real value to users won't create any buzz. Our engineers focused on functionality, user input, content, and layout when designing and developing the app to ensure performance reliability. One of our goals was to give users an easy-to-navigate schedule. To simplify the lengthy schedule to conference goers, we color-coded the nine session tracks.
Another concern was users getting stuck on intuitive actions, so we carefully considered touch and native interactions like tapping, sliding, and turning.
Incorporating interactive elements, like gesture controls, is a great way to give liven up an unexciting app. We chose to use a native environment to make this possible instead of doing it as a web app, which would have resulted in a slow and clunky UX.
More than anything, we wanted our app to be memorable. We didn't want to create another boring app listing the DrupalCon schedule. We wanted our app to be interactive and engaging. Gesture-based animations are seeded throughout the AtDrupalCon app, including that fistfight between a man and a grizzly bear, and a spinning session track wheel.
Another concern was ensuring that all of the conference information was up to date so people didn't have to download any annoying updates. We were able to accomplish this by configuring the app to pull data from the DrupalCon Portland site to access conference info like speakers, room numbers, and levels of course difficulty. The app also pulled data from Twitter to give users up-to-the-minute DrupalCon updates.
More than half of a person's mobile phone usage is spent on apps, and organizations are increasingly recognizing the power of event apps to streamline the event experience. According to Omnipress' 2012 Mobile Event App Survey, 80% of organizations plan to provide a mobile event app within the next two years. In addition to making it easier for organizers to manage their events and provide better experiences for attendees, event apps are excellent marketing and social networking tools.
There's no question about it: event apps are here to stay. So why be a bore?

Great article! Just wanted to add a couple of things here. First, is app promotion. What's the point of an app if people don't know about it. Apps need to be promoted prior to and during the event. So, one can use direct marketing tools like mailers and newsletters to inform attendees who have registered for the event about the app, its enhanced networking functionalities and social media integration. In-event promotion through QR codes or a standard set of slides displayed before each session which talk about the app and how, for example, participants can download that particular session through the app are also useful. Second comes measurement. How do you know if you have justified your sponsors' money? Apps need to provide data and analytics regarding how many views a topic got or how many people took notes during a presentation. Such numbers will help event managers calculate the effective ROI and work on areas of improvement.
I love this article! So true - there are so many apps out there (events and otherwise) that are boring! As we also make event apps at my company, one thing I'll share is that at times it's not the app developers, but the clients, who don't always see the value in making things fun / interesting. We do our best to push that way and have definitely had some success, but it sometimes comes down to the client nixing the more creative aspects our developers come up with! For that reason, we're always seeking to work with just the right partners, so our output can be just as fun as our ideas are, and the end product will be memorable, as you say, beyond simply the one-time event!
Good stuff - glad there are other developers out there pushing for fun and creativity in the app space!

After reading this article we, at Attendify, shared our thoughts in our blog post. You can read it here http://attendify.com/blog/how-to-make-your-event-app-come-to-life/#.UinIhhtkMYk If you have any other thoughts, let's discuss it here.
Beth, very nice write up. Gives me a lot to think about, since I'm currently only thinking of non-app Drupal development. The reference to Portland reminded me, from the perspective of my main hobby - mandolin- that the annual convention for 2014 will be in Portland. Then Megan's comment below reminded me of this year's convention in Regina Saskatchewan, Canada, home of the Mounties, where this year's motto is "We always get our Man-dolin."
I really enjoyed reading this article and you make a lot of really great points. I remember my own struggles when I attended a Con in Amsterdam a couple of years ago and how I wish there had been an app available!
Alas, I admit to being disappointed with the fun, narrative element of the app. I get to play as a male lumberjack fighting for the affection of a female dev? Grrreat. Like I don't get to do that enough in my console games. :(
I hope Saforian plans on making more event apps and will include some catered towards females in the future. :)
GREAT article Beth! I work for Omnipress, who conducted the survey you mentioned at the end. It's amazing how Event Apps really have burst onto the scene and already people expect them at conferences. they went from being a luxury to a necessity in no time.

It's become a tradition on every holiday that somewhere in the country a taxpayer supported university professor will come forth to trash one of our American traditions and this holiday season we were treated to a claim that Thanksgiving is really just a celebration of "genocide" created by "Nazis."
A long-time, extreme left-winger named Robert Jensen, a taxpayer supported journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin, felt Thanksgiving eve was the perfect time to unleash his latest anti-American screed on the radical website Alternet. Titled "No Thanks for Thanksgiving," Jensen claimed that this most gentle of holidays is really nothing but a celebration of genocide sponsored by Americans who are little different than Nazis.
To Jensen, Thanksgiving isn't a day to give thanks for what we have, it isn't a spiritual day to reflect on one's good fortune, it is instead a "white-supremacist holiday" that would be better spent in a "day of mourning" for the "genocide" evil whites perpetrated against America's native people.
Leave aside Jensen's racist tendency of assuming every Indian tribe is just like the next — some Indian tribes welcomed and worked with the European "invaders," as Jensen put it — he also illegitimately claims that the U.S. is an "empire." It never has been.
Jensen goes on to denounce the "myth-building" of creating holidays to further our national narrative and laments the entire celebration.
Simply put: Thanksgiving is the day when the dominant white culture (and, sadly, most of the rest of the non-white but non-indigenous population) celebrates the beginning of a genocide that was, in fact, blessed by the men we hold up as our heroic founding fathers.
Jensen goes on to attack our forefathers for having expanded the U.S.A. from sea to shining sea and destroying the Indian's various cultures. It is a shame that our early settlers destroyed all the hospitals, roads, libraries, great works of literature, and science that the native peoples created before white men arrived on America's shores, to be sure. For Jensen, there isn't anything in our founders worth celebrating and wonders aloud how we are even able to "deal with" them.
How does a country deal with the fact that some of its most revered historical figures had certain moral values and political views virtually identical to Nazis?
It is fitting that this hatred for America is featured on Alternet. After all, that website is funded by the leading anti-American in the world, George Soros. The site hosts many of Jensen's past screeds.
Jensen has a long history of hating these United States, its traditions, and ideals. He is also a hater of men, oddly enough. He's one of those male feminists, apparently. Further, he thinks all whites are racist, he stands against capitalism, and is one of those that reads such things into every historical era, every American action.
Good thing he makes his living off a racist, capitalist, woman-hating country, isn't it?

Rivera said linebacker Jon Beason had successful shoulder surgery this month after undergoing knee surgery in the fall. Beason has played in only five games since signing a five-year, $51.5 million contract extension before the 2011 season.
more of a reason to move on from him... he will have a high risk of re-injuring, if he was a WR or a QB it wont be that big of a deal but you need a healthy shoulder to tackle
