When Kevin Mandia, a retired military cybercrime investigator, decided to expose China as a primary threat to U.S. computer networks, he didn't have to consult with American diplomats in Beijing or declassify tactics to safely reveal government secrets.
He pulled together a 76-page report based on seven years of his company's work and produced the most detailed public account yet of how, he says, the Chinese government has been rummaging through the networks of major U.S. companies.

Papp Joins Women's Basketball Staff
July 31, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer head womens basketball coach Jill Thomas announces Christian Papp will join the Falcons staff as assistant coach this season. Papp most recently comes from Lincoln Memorial where he primarily concentrated on developing post players. At Pfeiffer, Papps will focus on post play, film breakdown, strength training and recruiting.
I am very pleased to have Christian as a part of our program, said Coach Thomas. He brings a wealth of experience and excitement. I believe we have found a truly good fit for the Pfeiffer program and I look forward to getting to work with him. Christian does a wonderful job with recruiting quality student athletes with good character. I feel fortunate to have found someone with the experience and work ethic that Christian has.
From 2004 to 2006 Papp gained operations experience at Valparaiso University. He then gained further coaching experience at Indiana University South Bend from 2006 to 2008. While at IUSB, Papp developed the Titan defense and coached 1st team All-Conference and Honorable Mention All-American post players. He also served as Recruiting Coordinator for the Titans.
Papp earned a Bachelor of Arts in History with a minor in Secondary Education from Valparaiso University in 2001. He will complete a Master of Science degree in Sports Administration from Valpo in August. Papp is also certified by the American Council on Exercise as a personal trainer.

Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune will be on a roll in 2013.
Parts of the hospital's nearly $130 million construction project will start to come to fruition in the coming year, Capt. David Lane, commanding officer of the hospital, told The Daily News in a recent interview.
"It's an exciting year for the hospital," Lane said, adding that the opening of the hospital's grand quarter deck in August was only the beginning.
Lane, who inherited the massive renovation project from his predecessor, Capt. Daniel Zinder, said that in 2013, the hospital will open multiple new wings and facilities, including an ambulatory care wing, emergency department, urgent care center, family medicine wing with orthopedics, physical therapy and occupational therapy; National Intrepid Center of Excellence satellite center; concussion clinic; neonatal intensive care unit; mental health wing; and updated pharmacy and laboratory system.
The new ambulatory care wing — which is expected to be completed in April — will "more than double the capacity that we have for primary care, urgent care and emergent care," Lane said.
The wing will have more exam rooms than the old wing and will double the amount of space the hospital staff will have to work, which means hospital patients can expect to be treated faster and in a more comfortable area.
"We're going to be a lot more efficient when we get over there," Lane said. "Right now we have a lot of inefficiencies because we have a staff that's crammed into spaces that are too small for them. This will allow us to spread the staff out and give them the amount of space that their profession deserves."
Later in the summer, around July, the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE) Camp Lejeune satellite center is scheduled to open just down the road from the naval hospital, near the Wounded Warrior Complex.
The $11 million satellite extension is being built with donated funds from the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund and when completed, will have taken only a year to finish.
The satellite center will give the Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune concussion clinic, which Lane said currently runs the busiest concussion clinic in Navy medicine, a modern facility to treat traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress.
"(We already have) a multidisciplinary holistic approach to patients with traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder," Lane said. "So what (the new center) is going to do is give the staff a state-of-the-art facility for practice, and it's ideally situated because it's midway between us and the Wounded Warrior Battalion barracks."
A few months after the NICoE center opens, the hospital is expecting to move its pharmacy and laboratory into a newly renovated area, complete with robotics that will help make the staff's jobs easier.
"It's a tremendous renovation for our pharmacy that's going to greatly increase our throughput there," Lane said.
The nursery is also undergoing a monumental renovation, with the hospital hoping to step up its abilities to care for sick babies when the new nursery is complete.
Currently, any babies born with serious illnesses at Camp Lejeune have to be sent to New Hanover Medical Center in Wilmington or Vidant Medical Center in Greenville for treatment, but Lane said the completion of the new Level 2B neonatal intensive care unit will change that.
"We're moving up the ladder in terms of the complexities of the babies that we can care for, and that's a tremendous service to our patients," Lane said. "So instead of having to send our sick babies to New Hanover or
Lane also mentioned a new neonatal specialist and OBGYN being added to the hospital staff, meaning the hospital will be able to "care for more moms on the pregnancy side and for sicker babies on the newborn side."
The hospital's 12-bed mental health ward will also start renovation next month and will have to be shut down for construction. But the hospital will still be able to treat and care for patients, with help from a local hospital.
Lane said Brynn Marr Hospital is setting aside a wing of its facility for the Naval Hospital's mental health patients. Naval Hospital doctors will be working at Brynn Marr to be close to their patients, and the Marines and sailors in the mental health ward will be allowed visits from their command at any time — not just during normal visiting hours.
"They've just been great partners," Lane said. "It's just a great opportunity for the community to come together once again and support each other."
Lane said the mental health ward renovation project will take approximately nine months; and although he said he expects some hiccups in the beginning, he's confident it will be a "very successful transition with Brynn Marr."
This time next year, Lane said the hospital will start renovating all their operating rooms in one of the final pushes of the renovation project.
The entire Naval Hospital construction project is expected to be finished in mid- to late-2014.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Bob Casey, Chairman of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), released the following statement after presiding over a hearing entitled "Fiscal Cliff: How to Protect the Middle Class, Sustain Long-Term Economic Growth, and Reduce the Federal Deficit:"
"I was encouraged that we had an open discussion about the path forward for our economy and, in particular, ensuring that we create jobs and protect middle income families while we responsibly deal with the deficit and debt. It is clear that we need an approach to the fiscal cliff that is balanced, bipartisan and includes measures that help businesses create jobs."
This week the JEC released a report on the payroll tax cut's positive impact on the economy in 2012, finding that it increased consumer spending, supported job growth, and bolstered the Social Security Trust Fund by increasing the number of employed Americans paying in to the system.
Chairman Casey's opening remarks are available here.

STUDENTS from around the globe are making Ambleside their home after enrolling on the University of Cumbria's first ever international course.
Outdoor enthusiasts from countries including China, Australia and Germany are among the 17 students spending the Autumn term in the Lake District as part of their masters in Transcultural European Outdoor Studies.
The qualification is the first of its kind and is being run by the university, Germany's University of Marburg and Norway's School of Sport Sciences.
Course leader Dr. Christopher Loynes said: "Within this time frame, our ambition is to make the course a coveted choice for people interested in pursuing a career in the outdoor field. We also aim to develop tight links with non-European universities and make the course truly global. Eventually, we plan to make the course financially self-sustaining through the charging of student fees."
The course will be funded by the European Commission for the next five years and once students have left Ambleside in the New Year they will spend their next two terms at the other institutions.
While some of the students area already experienced in outdoor studies, for many this is a new area of knowledge and expertise.
Katerina Pata from Greece, who previously studied to be a pre-school teacher, said:"I couldn't find a relevant masters course in Greece and applied for courses elsewhere in Europe. I liked this course because I get a chance to go to three different countries and learn various approaches to the subject. My goal is to make the concept of outdoor learning more prominent in my country and create my own outdoor kindergarten."
However, others come to the course with a lot of experience like Wilson Wai Yin Cheung who is a former president of the mountaineering association of Hong Kong.
The students, who come from 15 countries, will be living in university accommodation in Ambleside and learning the theoretical knowledge and practical qualifications necessary to be successful outdoor industry professionals.
During their first semester they will undertake two week-long hiking expeditions, one in the Scottish Highlands and one in the Lake District and a week-long canoeing trip.

'VERY knowledgable' staff at a popular Kendal attraction are celebrating after securing a top accreditation.
Kendal Museum has been accredited as a Quality Assured Visitor Attraction - an assessment run by Visit England and recognises customer service and visitor experience at attractions across the country.
A Visit England assessor praised the strong collections, recognising the effort that has gone into creating a well-balanced wildlife gallery and the considerable effort that has been put into modernising the Wainwright Gallery.
In a report, the assessor said of the museum: "The Wildlife Gallery succeeds in presenting specimens from five continents in an imaginative and lively fashion that can be readily grasped by children".
Learning facilities for children were also praised along with 'excellent' reading books being available.
The Wainwright Gallery was also commended for its cabinets and the assessor said that the staff 'engaged well and were very knowledgeable'.
The assessor summed up his judgement and reported: "There is a wealth of excellent material in the museum – with the Wildlife Gallery and the Wainwright exhibits showing what can be achieved. The possibilities for mutually beneficial exchanges of skills with college courses and museum qualifications seem exciting. There is huge potential scope for the Museum."

LGBT Study Abroad
Studying abroad is no longer just an added bonus or an optional part of an undergraduate education. More and more, today's college students are expected to travel abroad in order to make them competitive for graduate schools and potential employers. Further, studying abroad enriches student's understanding of the global community and gives them a broader perspective on how they fit into it. President Ramsey made it one of his 2020 goals to increase the number of study abroad opportunities for U of L students, and we are committed to helping students study abroad as part of a world-class education.
The University of Louisville's LGBT Center is the first in the region to offer LGBT-themed study abroad experiences for students who want to learn about life in other countries. Whether it's the history of homosexuality or a close-up examination of the current political and societal realities of being LGBT in other countries, the Center's trips include both academic and cultural experiences that bring LGBT experiences to life. And they provide students with the opportunity to learn more about the history and culture of a community that is often missing from other programs.
"We sometimes forget that the LGBT community has its own rich history and a story that crosses international lines. The chance to study their own history and culture helps LGBT students see their place in the world and claim a deeper sense of pride in themselves," said LGBT Center Program Coordinator AJ Jones.
2014 Study Abroad Opportunity: Queer Politics in Greece
The 2014 study abroad experience, called Queer Politics in Greece, examines the way different political systems impact LGBT people and how activists in Greece are working to secure basic rights for LGBT people.
Taught by faculty lead Dr. Anne Caldwell, the experience will draw both on academic research and first-hand experiential learning. The Greek political system differs significantly from the United States. Greece has a parliamentary system (people vote for parties, not individuals and the president is chosen by Parliament) and a multiparty system. Additionally, as an EU member Greece must follow the rulings of the EU Human Rights Court. Students will learn how these different systems impact LGBT access to the political system, ways of organizing, and the protection of LGBT rights, including marriage. All academic learning will be complemented by hands-on experience.
The first half of the trip will focus on the community in Athens, where students will get personal experience by visiting a number of local LGBT organizations including Colour Youth, Athens Pride, and Rainbow Families. Students will also visit ancient sites and museums to see homosexuality as it was understood throughout the centuries. Next, students will travel to a Greek island to see a different side of LGBT life, and will meet activists and others who are working in other parts of the country to make positive changes.
"Studying the LGBT community in Greece changed my life," said Connor Kelty, who traveled to Greece in 2013 as part of the inaugural trip. "I loved meeting all the activists who are working on the front line there. It was amazing to learn of another country's position on the LGBT movement."
Fellow traveler Chris Shiner agrees. "It helped me grow as an activist, and inspired me to do more here at home."

Cuba City Hollywood is my new signature fragrance. I found it to be surprisingly light and sophisticated. It works well in the summer but the heat causes it to evaporate quicker so I take the bottle with me in my purse to reapply as needed. I will defenitely buy this again.

As enduro racing gains momentum in North America, a landslide of products catering to the "new" breed of renaissance rider has hit the market. Helmets are no exception, and just as the racing format's proliferation has been a catalyst of the pursuit of the elusive combination of strength and lightweight when it comes to all-mountain bikes and components, expanding coverage and protection without sacrificing weight and breathability has become the mantra of enduro domes, expanding the selection of true mountain-bike helmets. Lucky then for the majority of riders, the format closely resembles what most mortals actually do on a mountain bike. So whether you're looking to run goggles with your half-lid for the next stop of the World Series, or you're just a weekend warrior looking for something better than a road helmet with a visor, here are eight enduro lids to keep you cool and covered.
Bell Super
Even though it is the heaviest in the group at 390 grams, the Bell Super comes packed with enough features and a dialed fit to make the weight an afterthought. It provides some of the deepest rear coverage available in a half lid, but despite covering so much cranial real estate, features enough vents—25, to be exact—to keep you cool. Somewhat unique to the Super are the four brow vents just under the visor, designed to pull air in and through the internal channeling built into the EPS. The visor also offers 30-degrees of adjustability, which is not only nice when it comes to keeping a clear field of view, but actually allows room for goggles to rest off your face and under the visor. This, along with the integrated goggle guides, make the Super the most goggle-friendly of the bunch—and also leaves no doubt as to its intended demographic. Another standout feature of the Super is the integrated—yet removable—GoPro mount. Bell's Speed Dial fit system does a fine job of keeping things secure and comfy.
Uvex XP CC
Although not the newest in the bunch, the made-in-Germany Uvex XP CC remains a solid performer in the all-mountain category. Formerly the XP 100, it gets a new name and colors for 2014. Despite full coverage and innovative who-woulda-thunk-it features like bug netting in the front vents and a Monomatic strap system allows you to micro-adjust strap tension on the fly, the XP CC is by far the lightest in the bunch at 260 grams. Thanks to something Uvex calls the IAS 3D+ system, one size fits all. While we were admittedly skeptical of a "one size fits all" claim on something as personal as a helmet, the fit system does its job well. Fore-aft length can be adjusted as can width, but the clincher here is the crown-height adjustment, which above all, seems to really allow you to find the just-right Goldilocks setting. Sixteen large vents help keep things cool and removable, washable, anti-microbial padding makes it easy to keep it clean.
Mavic Notch
The French wheelmaker launched a line of technical apparel earlier this year aimed at the enduro trend that happened to include a new helmet very well suited to the discipline. Enter, the Mavic Notch. One of the lighter options in the group at 320 grams, the Notch is a ground-up trail helmet offering more coverage than Mavic's cross-country offerings along with a unique rugged style. Fit is dialed in courtesy of the Ergo Hold SL retention system, borrowed from the company's road helmets to achieve maximum comfort and minimum weight. The anti-microbial liner fights funk and features a design that is continuos around the front brow with recessed channels for the straps for a seamless fit. A dozen forward-facing vents are coupled with large exhaust vents in the back for ventilation. The visor is fixed, which is fine as it doesn't seem to obstruct field of vision, but riders looking for more room to run goggles may want to look elsewhere, although the visor is removable if doing so is more your style.
Giro Feature
The Giro Feature has remained largely unchanged since its inception two years ago, but still finds a spot on this list for a reason—it is one of the lightest, offers some of the deepest coverage and is the most affordable. The In-Form fit system is among the more basic in the group, but does what's mean to do and feels just fine. The Feature has 12 vents and internal channeling, but riders concerned with hot weather and longer rides may want to look at better ventilated options. But what the Feature lacks in ventilation, it makes with some of the most comprehensive coverage in the group and a round profile closer to a skate-style bucket than a spandex spear tip. The Feature also…um, features an adjustable visor. It all tips the scales at only 285 grams. Touché.
Urge Endur-O-Matic
Even if you couldn't see a single logo from afar, there'd be no mistaking an Urge helmet for anything else on the market—the Endur-O-Matic is no exception. The closest to being a full-on gravity lid sans chinbar in the group, the Endur-O-Matic offers the most coverage by far. There are only eight vents that give one the sudden "urge" to go bowling, but they are said to be positioned to create a Venturi Effect (air is accelerated as it moves through smaller spaces) along with the inner channels. The Gangsta Pad anti-sweat system mimics a bandana over your brow to keep the drips away, and along with the rear padding, does a fine job of wicking moisture for what looks to be such a sealed dome.
Troy Lee Designs A1
Well known for its full-face offerings, Troy Lee Designs made a splash earlier this year when it returned to the half-lid game with the wildly styled and wildly popular A1. While the custom moto-inspired graphics and anodized hardware certainly make an impression, function leads form—as evidenced by three years of development and several scrapped prototypes. The goggle-friendly visor has 50 millimeters of adjustability, and a one-piece liner is as plush as we've ever seen in a bicycle helmet. Although Troy Lee Designs says more colors will be released throughout the year—we already saw a matte version of the Black Cyclops color at Sea Otter—the existing designs seem to be a love it or leave it affair for most riders. Regardless of how you feel about the graphics, once on, all else is forgotten. The A1 just feels right. The deep-fitting shell seems to cradle your skull just right. The retention dial will probably work for most melons, but there are also three height positions resulting in 20 millimeters of crown-height customization. The A1 weighs in at 340 grams without the visor, which, while not wispy, is quickly forgotten on long rides due to both the fit and cooling of the intake and exhaust vents and internal channeling.
Fox Head Flux
One of the most popular helmets in the all-mountain/enduro category, the Fox Head Flux offers deep coverage with an aggressive look. It's 352 grams is well ventilated thanks to 20 openings. In contrast to most "dial" fit retention systems, Fox Head's Detox fit system utilizes a ratcheting strap in the rear. Style and comfort lead the way as reasons this helmet continues to be a best seller.
SixSixOne Recon
The SixSixOne Recon is a great option for more comprehensive protection in a sleek, lightweight package ready for all-day romps. The Recon weighs in at a tidy 300 grams and features matte graphics that stand out without being obnoxiously loud—a feat more difficult than it sounds. The straps anchor at the edge of the helmet, so they don't rub your face or tussle with the liner over which one gets to hug your head. Eighteen vents and internal channeling provide "active" ventilation. The Recon shares the Detox ratcheting fit system with the Flux.

The Mansion House
The Mansion House
Take a stroll through history
The Mansion House sits high on a hill in Hagerstown's City Park. John Heyser built this Georgian-style mansion in 1846 using native limestone and bricks made of mud from the lake that the house overlooks.
This massive house has a large wrap-around porch and now serves as the headquarters for the Valley Art Association. Visitors to the Mansion House can view and purchase the works of over twenty local artists. The old Mansion House creates a beautiful setting for the art that is displayed.

Welcome from the Chief Justice of Bermuda, the Hon. Ian R.C. Kawaley
Welcome to the Portal pages of the Bermuda Judiciary.
The Judicial Oath requires all judicial officers to "do right to all manner of people after the laws and usages of Bermuda without fear or favour, affection or ill will." The primary function of the courts is shaped and informed by this fundamental judicial commitment.
All court users are entitled to expect and to enjoy the same fair hearing rights, in conformity with this fundamental principle of equality before the law.
The courts of Bermuda are committed to dealing with all cases quickly and fairly. Waiting times are short. On the criminal side Supreme Court trials can expect to be tried within three months of arraignment. On the civil side, the courts always have time to take urgent matters immediately, and to set longer matters down at a time convenient to the parties.
Although much of our law and practice derives from England, Bermuda has, throughout its history, crafted models derived from England & Wales and other common law jurisdictions to fit its special circumstances. In particular our approach to civil procedure reflects the realities of a small jurisdiction, giving judicial officers the case management tools they need without blindly adopting procedures more suited to a larger jurisdiction.
On the portal pages of the Bermuda Judiciary you will find a general Introduction to our Court System, as well as more detailed information for members of the public and lawyers alike.

Research Summary
Research in this laboratory is focused on several aspects related to hematopoiesis, a fundamental and complex cell differentiation process that generates many different cell types including all blood cells. With the exception of T-lymphocytes, all other hematopoietic cells are predominantly generated in the bone marrow of adult mammals. Central to this process are the bone marrow niches where immune cells develop. These are sites where hematopoietic precursors travel to meet with specialized bone marrow stromal cells that provide lineage-specific signals necessary for their development and differentiation. Our laboratory is specifically interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate hematopoietic cell development, positioning and migration within bone marrow niches, and export into the periphery under normal homeostatic conditions. Our long-term goals are to understand at the molecular level how these mechanisms are regulated during changes in the environment such as inflammation, hormone imbalance, hypoxia, etc.

J Boats
The J/Boats company had humble beginnings but over the past 40 years, they have built winning designs which are raced by movers and shakers in the marine industry and beyond. Rod Johnstone built the first J/24 in his garage in 1975 and by 1977, he and his brother Bob were in business building sleek boats that developed a reputation for being crazy-fast. Today, the Rhode Island company builds boats from 22 to 65 feet for day sailing, cruising and mostly one-design racing. Any serious racer will know J/Boats and many will have owned one at some point. J/Boats are precision machines that command a premium price and will range from $10,000 to $2,000,000, and have sprouted a performance sailing school called J World with five bases around the country.

Amber Strehle / www.tresbirdsphotography.com
Choose from more than 1,000 vintage, new and handcrafted items or take them all.
Amber Strehle / www.tresbirdsphotography.com
Pay $10 at the door and find a world of decorating inspiration inside, from place settings for a feast to old bird cages.
At this event, shoppers can buy furniture, decor and a five-bedroom house.
At Inspiration House, everything is for sale, even the 2013 Ford Explorer in the driveway.
The five-day spree, April 17 to 21, is a partnership between Ruffles & Rust and Mietzner Home Builders.
It works like this: Shoppers pay $10 admission at the door of the new Snohomish home that's furnished to the hilt.
Inside the staged home are more than 1,000 vintage, new and handcrafted items.
Buyers can score the rolling pin on the kitchen counter or the pillow off the bed. Or they can skip the small stuff and just buy the 2,840 square-foot, 2 1/2 bath house listed for $489,990.
"We're going to maximize every inch of that house," said Timi Weathers of Ruffles & Rust.
Items include $5 scented soaps and a $2,500 custom sofa.
"There will be a price point for everybody," Weathers said.
Most prices are fixed. "If someone came in and bought everything it would be totally negotiable," she said.
It's OK to look and not buy. The event is a showcase for people to get inspiration (hence the name) for "infusing" vintage finds with everyday modern life, she said.
"It's how we incorporate the new with the old. The reality is that's how we all live. We all get stuff passed down from our grandmothers and aunts, and we don't know what to do with it.
"So why not incorporate the items given to you? Don't save them. Use them."
The house is at 619 Emory Drive in a new plat of nine homes behind Snohomish High School. No need to buy tickets to ballgames. It's possible to watch the action on the high school football field while soaking in the upstairs bathtub.
Other features of the Craftsman-style home include carriage-style garage doors, a covered front porch with a picket railing and dormer windows.
Small items can be taken the day of purchase. Large furniture items, such as bed frames, can be picked up on Sunday afternoon after the event.
Merchants will set up shop in the garage with additional "cash and carry" merchandise.
Vendors include Seaworthy Home, Cateye Girls, Shabby Shack Boutique, Circle Creek Home, Julie & JanMarie from Cranberry Cottage, Vintage Coupe and Cottage Whites.

The Glorious Ones
The Glorious Ones (Paperback)
The Glorious Ones travel the length and breadth of seventeenth-century Italy, playing commedia dell'arte in the streets and palaces with equal vigor. Founded by the ingenious madman Flamino Scala, the small company of players endures kidnappings and passionate affairs, cabals, riots, disgrace—all manner of triumph and hardship. Pantalone the miser, sunny Armanda the dwarf, gossip-loving Columbina, and evil-minded Brighella view their myriad shared adventures through markedly different eyes. Yet not one of them is prepared for the strange twisting of the road brought about by the mysterious arrival of Isabella Andreini, who has come to direct their wayward troupe.

Definitive Design Trends For Commercial Spaces
Commercial spaces are often excluded from the list of popular design trends because they are supposed to appeal to a smaller audience. However, it is to be noted that the most innovative interior design Ottawa trends are noted first in the commercial spaces only. These places are far better when it comes to including pure, functional and even aesthetically superior designs in their construction. Do you also wish to know about the most definitive trends that will be seen in the newly built commercial spaces? Take a look.
- Deeper tones- the deeper tones are making a comeback this season and if you are fond of calmer notes in colours that are cool and have a subtler appeal, this trend if for you. Taupe, stone, ivory, charcoal and different greens and greys are making headlines this season. These colors are not just deep but look spectacularly striking as well. Plus, they are not overly exciting or interfering which makes it a perfect choice for the commercial spaces of any mood or style. If you find them too dull for use, try to include some shades of white and paprika to warm up the spaces. View our commercial design portfolio below.
- Super scaled designed with geometric patterns- we have seen smaller scaled designs in the past but they all have become outdated by now. Instead of using these designs for detailing, they are now being used more for creating a statement and is becoming very popular in hotels. Bolder designs with no regards to small scale are being loved at all commercial spaces. If you find many hotels and retail spaces opting for huge geometric designs in interesting concepts, then you can bet that they are inspired by this commercial interior design Ottawa trend.
- Changes in furniture- the furniture is becoming more about form as well as function. If there is something that is functional, it has to look essentially beautiful as well. Standing height desks, chairs with armrests and headrests etc. are becoming quite popular these days. Tempered glass, rustic wood and durable metal furniture has become the keyword for furniture in the industry. As a result of the changes in the interior design Ottawa, the furniture is also changing to accommodate these changes. Make sure that you are using furniture that comes with warmer colors and use minimalistic interior design concepts as well. This shall help you in making sure that you are getting better interior designs for your commercial spaces and also making them look more modern and sophisticated as well.

Information For:
Portia Yee
How do you strike a balance between class work, studying, and social activities? Any suggestions for prospective students on building/maintaining a balance?
Time management is one of the keys to success. It is important to take the time needed to study, but it is just as important to enjoy your hobbies. I know every person is different—some people are "night owls" and some are "morning" people. In undergrad, I could get by with barely studying and cramming the night before an exam. Here, I would say that I have to keep up with the material on a daily basis. I normally go to the gym or exercise after class to unwind and recharge. I also cannot stress how important it is to get enough sleep and occasionally eat Mexican food. I would suggest finding your own rhythm or pattern, and if it works, stick with it (that way you can avoid getting burned out and cramming the night before an exam).
What advice do you have for anyone considering podiatry school?
If you are considering applying to podiatry school, I would definitely spend some time shadowing or observing a podiatrist (or several podiatrists). With podiatry, you can specialize in so many different avenues—diabetic foot care, general foot care, gait analysis, rear- or forefoot surgery, sports medicine, reconstruction, etc. I would also add that any exposure to a cadaver lab and/or a medical terminology course would be beneficial.

Accessing Private Variables
Closures and functions can't remember any information defined within themselves between invocations. If we want a closure to remember a variable between invocations, one only it has access to, we can nest the definitions inside a block:
We can have more than one closure accessing this private variable:
We can also put all closures accessing common private variables in a map to show they're related:
We can access private variables with an Expando instead. An expando allows us to assign closures to Expando names:
An expando can also be used when common private variables aren't used:
Like individual closures, closures in expandos see all external variables all the way to the outermost block. This is not always helpful for large programs as it can limit our choice of names:
For single-argument closures, both standalone and within expandos, we can use the implicit parameter as a map for all variables to ensure they're all valid, though the syntax is not very elegant:
There is a better way to ensure a chosen variable name will not "shadow" another from the same scope.
Static Classes
Just as we can use functions instead of closures to hide names from the surrounding context, so also we can use static classes instead of expandos to hide such external names. We use the static keyword to qualify the individual definitions in a class definition:
Methods act quite similar to standalone functions. They can take parameters:
We can have more than one method of the same name if they each have different numbers of parameters.
Methods are also similar to other aspects of functions:
We can assign each method of a static class to a variable and access it directly similar to how we can with functions:
When there's no accessibility keyword like 'public' or 'private' in front of a field within a static class, it becomes a property, meaning two extra methods are created:
When we access the property value using normal syntax, the 'getter' or 'setter' is also called:
To run some code, called a static initializer, the first time the static class is accessed. We can have more than one static initializer in a class.
Instantiable Classes
We can write instantiable classes, templates from which we can construct many instances, called objects or class instances. We don't use the static keyword before the definitions within the class:
We can run some code the first time each object instance is constructed. First, the instance initializer/s are run. Next run is the constructor with the same number of arguments as in the calling code.
If we don't define any constructors, we can pass values directly to fields within a class by adding them to the constructor call:
Methods, properties, and fields on instantiable classes act similarly to those on static classes:
A class can have both static and instantiable parts by using the static keyword on the definitions that are static and not using it on those that are instantiable:
A class can have more than one constructor:
When a class has a category method, that is, a static method where the first parameter acts like an instance of the class, we can use an alternative 'category' syntax to call that method:
We can also use category syntax when the category method/s are in a different class:
Many supplied library classes in Groovy have category methods that can be called using category syntax. (However, most category methods on Numbers, Characters, and Booleans do not work with category syntax in Groovy-1.0)
Far more common are supplied library classes having category methods in another utility class, eg, List having utilities in Collections:
We can call category methods inside other category methods:
But we can't call category methods inside another category method from the same class:
A lot of entities in Groovy are classes, not just the explicit ones we've just learnt about. Numbers, lists, sets, maps, strings, patterns, scripts, closures, functions, and expandos are all implemented under the hood as classes. Classes are the building block of Groovy.

Marysville girl, family learn to live with diabetes
Photos by Annie Mulligan / For The Herald
Ten-year-old Mary Key enters information into her insulin pump in the kitchen of her Marysville home before lunch on Jan. 21. Mary was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes a year ago.

Mary is shown here with her brother, Thomas,14, and her twin, Esther.
A small pink device tethered to her waist does what her pancreas quit doing: It makes insulin.
"It's my magic juice," said the 10-year-old Marysville girl.
On her wrist, a pink silicone bracelet with a metal emblem functions as a medical alert ID.
Mary has Type 1 diabetes.
The pager-shaped insulin pump is by her side even more than her fraternal twin sister, Esther, who doesn't have the disease.
Mary and the pump have a symbiotic relationship. She inputs meal data, and it measures and dispenses insulin.
The $7,000 machine is an alternative to multiple daily shots. Mary sizes up the cost this way: "I wear a used car on my waist."
Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disorder, is also known as juvenile diabetes because the onset is typically in childhood. Unlike Type 2 diabetes, it is not linked to obesity. There is no cure for the disease, and in Mary's case, as with many, there is no family history.
Mary, who is home-schooled with her siblings, does finger pokes before meals to get accurate glucose readings.
Diabetes care is 24/7. At night, while Mary sleeps, a machine monitors her levels and alarms her parents of dangerously lows or highs.
"She can go from sleep to coma," said her mom, Janette.
"I don't let it hold me back," Mary said.
Janette Key is trying to connect with other Snohomish County families with Type 1 diabetes for informal meet-ups at places like the YMCA, where she's a Zumba instructor.
The disease is a family effort that also involves Mary's dad, Chad, a Virginia Mason systems administrator, her sister Eleanor, 12, and brother Thomas, 14.
It all started on a family trip to Disneyland in November 2011.
Mary felt sluggish, not fired up by the wonder of it all. She guzzled water. She had to get out of line every 5 to 10 minutes to run to the bathroom.
Her parents chalked it up to the decadence of an L.A. vacation.
"You're eating ice cream for breakfast," Mary explained. "There's all this smog."
Her condition was manageable, so rather than seek medical care there they decided to brave the plane ride home. The last leg of the journey was the worst.
"Even when she walked a foot she'd get tired," Esther said. "It kind of looked like she was 90."
"My arms felt like sausages," Mary said.
They rushed from the Seattle airport to the Everett emergency room.
"A lady with a clipboard said, 'It looks like your daughter has Type 1 diabetes and will be insulin-dependent the rest of her life,'" Janette Key said.
Mary spent five days in Seattle Children's Hospital, where she and family members were trained about every aspect of diabetes.
"It gets easier as you go along," Mary said. "There's some learning curves, but that doesn't make it impossible. It can get frustrating. I get these days where it's, 'Why did it happen to me? Why did I get this?'"
It has its perks.
"When I'm low I get candy, and I don't have to share," Mary said. "I am happy and yet I'm not happy."
One time, a low level got her out of chores. "It happened while I was cleaning, so I got a break."
It hasn't cramped her style much. Mary takes off the pump when she swims and dances with it during her mom's Zumba classes. The worry factor limits sleep-overs with friends, but sharing a bedroom with a twin makes every night a slumber party anyway.
The home-school curriculum devised by the parents requires the children to write a book by the time they are 15.
Mary's already started writing hers about diabetes. "It's my story of how we got it," she said.
"We all got it," her dad agreed. "Absolutely. It changes every aspect of what we do. Simple things like going to dinner as a family, now we have to have nutritional information."
But, said her mom: "It doesn't define who she is. She isn't 'a diabetic.' She isn't 'a girl with diabetes.' She is Mary, a girl who has to deal with it."
Mary's twin also deals with it.
"I wish there was some way I could make a magical headband and put it on her and she wouldn't have diabetes anymore," Esther said.

In 1823, Clement Moore wrote " 'Twas The Night Before Christmas."
In 2013, this happened:
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Many creatures were stirring, most of them soused.
The stockings had runs but nobody cared
In hopes that those gams soon would be bare.
The burglars were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of larcenies danced in their heads.
For goods they won't purchase, a display case they'll tap
Or sneak through a dog door, and place in a sack.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I stopped eating butter, and got no more fatter
My robe it fell down, an unintended flash
My neighbors did see me, and brought up their hash.
The moon on the hood of my rusty old Pinto
Gave the luster of Maalox to objects below.
When then to my bloodshot pink eyes appeared
Eight miniature poodles dressed as reindeer.
With yelps that were healthy, so lively and loud
They galloped and gasped like asthmatic bloodhounds.
As rapid as snails, with slick oily manes
They dug through my trash for old candy canes!
"Now Otis! Now, Earl! Now, LeRoy and Matt!
Get out of my yard, or I'll load up the gat!"
And then, while tinkling, I heard on the roof
The scatter and clawing of each little foot.
As I scratched my old head, and was turning around
Down the chimney those dogs came with a bound.
They were covered all in fur, from their head to their tail
And their breath, I must say, was a qualified fail.
A can of Vienna's that sat on my table
Flew down their gullets, along with a sable.
Their stomachs did rumble, all full and severe
They ate all my food, and grandma's Pabst beer!
Their slim little mouths dripped candy and meat
And several air biscuits escaped from their seats.
The only thing wrong with this Christmas Eve
Was that Animal Control had taken two days of leave.
With a house full of dogs, and cupboards all bare
I'd have to think fast, I'd have to take care!
They were chubby and plump, jolly and drunk
I guffawed when I saw them wear my wife's pumps.
With the wink of an eye and the tilt of a head
A new doggie drag routine — what more can be said!
Slowly but surely, they took to their slumber
And snored like carpenter's hammering lumber.
When Santa arrived, with toys on his back
The dogs they did wake, expecting a snack.
They rose to their feet and brandished their teeth
To show they meant business, they chewed up a wreath.
They rushed the old man, who let out a groan
But subdued them all with trusty Milk-Bones.
With toys all laid out and the dogs fast asleep
The jolly fat dude up the chimney did creep.
But I heard him exclaim, as he flew out of sight
"I must switch to boxers, these draws are too tight!"

Many offenders who are released after serving the sentence for their crimes may no longer feel welcome in the community or even their own home.
Some offenders continue to pay for the crimes they committed, even after their sentences are complete due to a loss in family relationships, unattainable employment and a lack of trust from community members.
With the help of New Bern native, William "Billy" Moore, men released from prison in the New Bern community and surrounding areas may have a different experience.
"Family support provides a safety net for offenders," Moore said. "When that's not in place or the family is not willing to give them a chance, they generally have to find support outside of the family."
That's where Moore comes in.
He started a ministry, Houses of Healing, Inc., one year ago with a vision to serve offenders after they are released from prison. The goal: increase their chances of success and decrease the chances of recidivism.
Moore is no stranger to the criminal justice system, possibly a benefit to the people he serves through his ministry.
Despite the odds against him as a child, Moore received a basketball scholarship to Fayetteville State University and graduated with a bachelor's degree. He then played for a year on the Atlanta Braves minor league baseball team. This is where his life took a turn.
"I got introduced to the night club scene and was hanging out with famous athletes. That's when I was introduced to crack cocaine," Moore said.
What was once a promising future in sports became the start of addiction, crime and prison sentences.
"Through my prison experiences I was sort of rescued and was able to, for the first time, develop a love and relationship with Jesus Christ and I've continued to trust God as my strength," Moore said.
One way Moore helps is with The Potter's House, a transitional house located on Spencer Avenue for newly released offenders, began after the development of Healing Houses, Inc.
Moore opened the Potter's House in order to provide a Christ centered safe, stable and structured environment for ex-offenders.
During their stay at the house, ex-offenders are considered residents and are guided through the process of reintegration into the community.
Moore's ministry has received support from Celebrate Recovery through Temple Baptist Church, Port Human Services, Wellness City of New Bern and Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities (TASC).
"I love what William is doing. I think it's a really good thing for the community," said Kathy Reinhardt, ministry leader for Celebrate Recovery. "I wish he had a bigger house. I'd send more people there."
Through these resources and others, residents are able to develop skillsets that help them obtain jobs; receive assistance with substance abuse rehabilitation, and spiritual guidance during the nine month program at the Potter's House.
"Many of these guys know one way of life, the broken way of life so he (William) says 'this is how you did it before. Now let's try it a different way this time,'" said Reinhardt.
Most offenders need help finding suitable housing, transportation and financial stability upon their release, Moore said.
"The Potter's House provides all the needs for the residents once they begin the program for at least the first few months. Once the resident gets a job they are expected to pay tuition to maintain their room and board," Moore said. "The job is motivator for them to work towards bettering themselves in other areas of their lives."
One of The Potter's House residents, Chuck Vaughn, became addicted to cocaine after he began suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder following his time in the military, he said.
"I wasn't getting any help from the VA so I started self-medicating," Vaughn said.
Now, after experiencing life in prison, Vaughn is participating in the program offered by Moore and Houses of Healing, Inc.
"Mr. William is an awesome mentor," said Vaughn.
The men at The Potter's House are expected to rise at 6 a.m. each morning. To follow is a Bible devotional, chores, work and some social time together.
"I'm getting' it right this time," Vaughn said. "They don't give up on you here."

Surprise Final Four leaves you wondering
So you're all for tournaments deciding who's the best team for a given season? And you really think some, or all, of this year's Final Four deserves to be No. 1 in men's college basketball for 2010-11? Editor Don Whitten takes a look at the surprising Final Four and makes a case that next Monday's winner would more accurately be called the tournament champion rather than the No. 1 team for the season. (March 30, 2011, Page 4)

With five of the eight teams .500 or better heading into this year's Touchstone Energy Baseball Classic, it would seem fair to say the three-day tournament at Richlands High School looks to be wide open and ultra competitive.
"It's up for grabs," Swansboro coach Rusty Ross said, adding "anybody" could win it.
Jacksonville coach David Fleischer, whose team is the defending champion, agreed.
"Anything can happen," he said. "Really, it comes down to pitching. I think it's wide open. I don't think there's a favorite."
Not so, at least in Dixon assistant coach Nick Raynor's estimation.
"Jacksonville is the favorite," said Raynor, speaking for coach Jack Brown, who declined to comment. "They won it last year."
To which Fleischer offered this:
"I guess we are the defending champions. But it all depends on your draw and who's healthy and who has momentum. I think it was (L.A. Dodger announce) Vin Scully who said momentum is tomorrow's starting pitcher.
"I think there are a lot of teams right now that would claim that they have some pretty good momentum. We found out a couple years ago when we had our breakout year even above talent sometimes momentum can carry you."
Momentum took a hit for at least two teams coming in the tournament.
Richlands (8-2-1) lost 9-0 at Croatan (4-4) on Thursday night, committing 9 errors and managing just 2 hits while seeing its seven-game winning streak snapped. And Jacksonville (7-3-1) was no-hit by Coastal 3-A Conference foe D.H. Conley the same night.
Dixon (7-3), which had won three straight tournaments before the Cardinals' snapped that streak last year, is coming off a 10-0 win at Pamlico.
And Swansboro (7-2) also is playing well coming into the tournament.
"I think we can play with all those guys," Ross said. "We're playing pretty good. I don't think we've had a game in awhile that we've had everything together, the pitching, fielding, hitting. We've had a little something that's carried us every night.
"So I think if we could get clicking on all cylinders, we'd be a team that could contend."
The same could be said for the Bulldogs, who are still maturing as a team, Raynor said.
"We've still got some growing to do," he said. "But we all think we're in a good position right now."
And while everyone is out to win the tournament, an argument could be made that no one wants to do so more than Richlands first-year coach Jeff Sprenger given the Wildcats have never taken home the championship.
"This is our best chance I think we've had in a long time," he said. "We've hosted it since 1998, and we have never won it. We've been in the championship game a couple times, but we've never come through and won one."
Last year the Wildcats lost to Jacksonville 15-4 in the final, and in 2009 Richlands fell to Dixon 15-11 in the title game.
This time around Richlands opens the tournament against Dixon, which on paper stacks up as the toughest first-round game.
"I think we've got a good chance. If we get past Dixon, then we've got the winner of Swansboro-White Oak. It's going to be a tough road, but I like our chances if we can pitch the ball and hit like I know we can," Sprenger said.
The tournament begins at 10 a.m. with Southwest (1-6) battling Croatan. After the Cardinals face Northside (1-9) at 1 p.m., Swansboro faces White Oak (2-10) at 4 p.m. before the final game of the night between Dixon and Richlands at 7 p.m.
To a man, every coach likes playing in the tournament over spring break.
"Absolutely," Raynor said. "No work, no school, just baseball. It's good. All the coaches will tell you it's good to have your kids over spring break having some work. Coach Brown always says most of the teams that have make a deep run in the playoffs, every one of them played over Easter break. If you take that week off, usually you're going to falter when you come back."
Sprenger agreed.
"It's the best time of year for me," he said. "The weather's turning good. You get to be at the ballpark for me 12 hours a day. It doesn't get any better than that."
Well, actually it could. The Wildcats could win it, which Sprenger said was one of the team's goals going into the season.
"We're going to try the best we can to win it, but it's not win at all cost. We do know that conference is more important than the tournament in the long run," Sprenger said. "But it's a good morale booster if you can come through and win three games in three days when you're playing good ball against good competition."
Touchstone Energy Baseball Classic at Richlands
Game 1: Southwest (1-6) vs. Croatan (4-4),
Game 2: Northside (1-9) vs.
Game 3: Swansboro (7-2) vs. White Oak (2-10),
Game 4:
Game 5: Game 1 loser vs. Game 2 loser,
Game 6: Game 3 loser vs. Game 4 loser,
Game 7: Game 1 winner vs. Game 2 winner,
Game 8: Game 3 winner vs. Game 4 winner,
Seventh place game,
Fifth place game,
Third place game,

I tried looking around for your q but it looks like it's found on a tearpad in gas stations (a CVS addict can feel free to correct me).
Here is a link to info on the q: http://forums.slickdea
Here is what is mentioned in the Wiki about the Java Monster q in the thread linked above:
"Save $1 off 2 any variety Java Monster (12-31-08) - gas station"
THANK YOU AND please help!Hi,
You rock! I am a rookie CVSer, just went out of the country for a couple of months and forgot how to get the 3 off 15, 4 off 20coupons, could you please help?
Thanks a million! because of you and the other slick dealers, I was able to take a bunch of CVS stuff to my mother in China! She was very happy!

The other way is to get them via CRT (i.e. $5/$30) if you are lucky.
Also, the other way is to see if the pharmacist at your local CVS have any $3/15 off while you are shopping. Sadly, many CVS stores hide these (especially in So Cal) as they don't want you having these coupons at all.
However, asking for them and providing your E-mail address is likely to only get you spam from lots of advertisers and is not allowed here.

After seeing this - I wish I was there. Rare that the local mall gets an actual celebrity to show up as part of a "flash mob".
I'm new to this forum, and I tried couponing many years ago because my mother was heavy into it. But the last few years I've been doing a combination of scratch cooking, with lots of generic purchases to stay in budget. But Hubby isn't a generics kind of guy, even though most of the time he wouldn't know it if he didn't see the package (not all the time though, I'm not nearly that good LOL).
I recently read a blog post about CVS'ing, and didn't even know a thing about it. I avoided drugstores because their prices were so much higher -- I had no idea this was going on 8^)
I started an account with my locals: CVS and Walgreens, and installed the coupon printer. I got my CVS card, but the site won't accept my number. I emailed them earlier, but I doubt I'll hear from them until the weekend is over.
I had plans of trying Walgreens after studying a few threads here, but I was a bit on the sick side until earlier today, so I decided to try tomorrow after ordering my Angel food. But many of the deals are expired now. I'll have to study my timing I suppose. But I'll check again tomorrow in case they have new specials up.
Thanks for the encouragement and lessons 8^)
If you scroll down to the bottom of the DS forum page there will be a blue bar. On the left, that blue bar says filter by category. If you pick CVS, it will pull up the all the CVS threads. (You can do the same for Walgreens aka WAGs too.) This helps because you will be able to see threads for tomorrow's deals, next week's deals and probably even the week after that. Most of the really good SD'ers plan their deals in advance so they can match up the coupons with the sales.

All gave some. Some gave all. RIP SFC Earl Fillmore KIA 10.3.1993, SPC Anthony Cardinal KIA 12.25.2005 & SFC Lonnie Parson KIA 9.2.2005.
I am with you. I am a newbie to the couponing too. This is absolutely fascinating stuff. The stuff people are able to do is amazing. Hopefully we will become more comfortable and be able to figure it out as well. I started couponing just recently.. in the past weeks..and now I can't believe I paid full price for so long.
My major issue now is how in the world I am going to organize all these coupons.. And it does take forever to read threads and study up on all the different stores. It was exciting in the beginning but I am already worn out over it.
Good luck!
Beauty is in the eye of the makeup brush holder..
Oh Holly. There are whole threads here devoted to organizing them. Here is my fave way....And Hidn gets credit for showing me this....
The music makes me giggle too.
Thank you!Thank you for this thread! I just joined recently . . . SD is my favorite site by far when it comes to couponing. I'm sure I've only scratched the surface in what's available. The information is so extensive . .. I love it! I am surprised at how much time and effort goes into this . . . looking for the right deals, preparing for them and then executing them!
I actually don't have time to do the other stuff I like to do . . . surveys and sweeps! I haven't done any sweeps for about 2 months now!! Please tell me I'll get the hang of it and my time can be divied up in the future. I just can't help trying to stockpile and lower my budget every month!! Also, there seems to be more at stake with this for me . .. worry, always thinking about deals, should I just stop? Does this do this to you too? Or do I just need to find another way to de-stress? Hmmmm. . . .
I'm happy to be here, thanks!!
