Christopher Heine | April 5, 2012 | Comments
How the digital giant's worldwide march affects brands, agencies, and vendors.
Several thousands of miles from Menlo Park, CA, the home of Facebook, marketing staffers for the tech company regularly sit in Ogilvy & Mather's Singapore and Hong Kong offices.
According to Thomas Crampton, Asia Pacific Director for Ogilvy & Mather's Social@Ogilvy division, a desk in each location is tucked into the ad agency, simply marked by a "facebook" logo on the door and a thumbs-up "like" sticker nearby. The platform-in-residence arrangement has been in place for months, he said. It's a microcosm of Facebook's burgeoning impact on the global advertising ecosystem, from agencies to brands to vendors.
"When I say it's a 'Facebook desk,' it's literally a Facebook desk," said Crampton. "It's gotten to the point where it has to be a part of our everyday work. We finally decided, 'Why don't we formalize [the relationship]?' It's about communication. It helps us understand Facebook, and it helps Facebook understand us."
Asia Pacific's 212 million Facebook users drive the partnership, he said. Though that number only represents a sliver of the region's population, suggesting a huge growth potential in terms of eyeballs.
"Advertising on Facebook in Asia is growing and is going to keep growing," Crampton said. "I would argue that Facebook ads are at a bargain price right now. The amount of advertising on Facebook and the cost of advertising on Facebook will only grow in the coming year."
Sales Exec Muscle Leverages User Growth
Facebook, which is expected to IPO next month, obviously has Asia in its sights. CEO Mark Zuckerberg visited Japan and China last week, stating on his trip that Facebook's Japanese users doubled during the last six months. While his firm is the leading social network in India and the Philippines, it trails regional competitor Mixi in Japan and is banned in China. On Tuesday, Facebook added eight Indian languages for mobile. Future user growth in the region will mean ad sales for Zuckerberg and his shareholders. But at the same time, the company's aims appear borderless.
It has 845 million monthly users worldwide, which equated to $3.2 billion in 2011 ad sales. Research firm eMarketer forecasts Facebook ad sales this year will reach $5 billion. The last two years have entailed a rapid climb for the company, expanding internationally while introducing socially minded ad products like Sponsored Stories and news feed distribution for branded promos.
During May 2010, Nike became the first brand to run a global Facebook campaign. Nine months later, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, a former Google exec, poached Carolyn Everson away from Microsoft to run global ad sales. The move pointed to Google-sized monetization goals. At Cannes in June 2011, Everson chatted with ClickZ about how the festival was a place to "get a lot done" because it brimmed with global marketers. During the weeks prior to her visit there, Facebook opened an ad sales office in Brazil.
In the last year, Everson and team members like Sarah Personette, Global Agency Relations lead, have been in pitch mode, consistently referencing the idea of Facebook "underpinning" integrated worldwide campaigns. After one event at JWT's midtown Manhattan headquarters last summer, Everson said, "The real trick is organizing globally but being locally relevant."
Social Sells Pizza in 10 Languages
Domino's Pizza, Levi's, and Starbucks are examples of brands taking Everson's words to heart, launching global Facebook advertising efforts in the last year. Four months ago, a Domino's one-day campaign ran in 19 international markets and the U.S., pitching half-price pizzas in 10 languages.
Dennis Maloney, Domino's VP of digital marketing, told ClickZ that Facebook helped convert 542,000 e-commerce orders during his brand's Dec. 8 event. Dubbed "Global Domino's Day," Maloney said the campaign used 20 country-specific Facebook pages.
"It was the first time we activated a single promotion worldwide," he said. "We actually think it's the first time any [quick-serve restaurant] company has been able to do that, which is really exciting…It got great participation around the world."
While 50 percent of Domino's stores are in the U.S., Maloney said his Facebook campaign saw terrific sales results in Korea, Israel, the U.K., and Canada. The social platform has evolved into a worldwide digital broadcast center for brands, he said.
"Facebook has become a single point and language that translates almost across the entire globe," Maloney said. "That opens up the door to promotions like this."
Peter Kornberg, a VP of digital at Global Advertising Strategies, suggested that Facebook's ascent will only get more brands like Domino's ramping up social media spends. His remarks jibe with ClickZ's recent agency study, which found some social media budgets had doubled in early 2012.
"With the Facebook Timeline launch especially, brand history became so transparent, that it forces advertisers to be more conscious of every effort," Kornberg said. "More money would have to be dedicated to keeping the brand consistent and focused - regardless of whether that comes from the company's media buying budget or somewhere else."
Vendors Globe Trot Toward New Money
In February 2008, Facebook added Spanish and French as the second and third available languages on its platform. Now, Facebook ads are displayed in numerous languages, as the platform gradually builds scale in places like South America, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. It's recently overtaken Google's Orkut as the most popular social site in the digital advertising hotbed of Brazil. Trying to keep pace with where the new money is, North American social marketing vendors like Buddy Media, Syncapse, Offerpop, Wildfire, SocialTwist, Context Optional, Friend2Friend, and Vitrue are thinking more internationally about their businesses.
"It's been a trend that we've seen," said Michael Scissons, CEO of Toronto-based Syncapse. "I've been everywhere from Tokyo to Egypt to Russia in the last year alone, and probably 10 other countries as well."
Wendell Lansford, Offerpop CEO, said companies from around the world are logging onto his self-service social marketing platform, mostly due to Facebook. "Half of our visits are from businesses abroad," he explained. "It's purely organic...We are not paying for those leads."
Friend2Friend says its international Facebook effort for Universal Pictures' "Lorax" in November 2011 was a success, involving Russia, Spain, Brazil, U.K., Germany, Italy and Latin America. Compared to other platforms, Friend2Friend CEO Roger Katz said, the Facebook user experience is universal, enabling cohesive message across cultures. "Facebook users do the same things around the globe," he said. "They are in the same environment, exhibiting the same behaviors."
While Facebook's worldwide growth may currently be a godsend to social marketing vendors, it's also true that they'll likely be tied to the digital giant during the foreseeable future, for better or for worse. Just like Facebook disrupted MySpace, a future competitor could upset Zuckerberg's kingdom.
Rebecca Lieb, digital advertising analyst for Altimeter, recently commented on the plight, stating the "enormous ecosystem of companies in the 'Facebook economy' [like] agencies, technology providers, and API-dependent plays such as Zynga, indicate that more than Facebook is threatened if Facebook were to fail."
Social@Ogilvy Director: Facebook's A Mass Medium
If Facebook fails, it may be the Titanic of dot-com busts from a 15-year era of many sunken ships. Crampton from Social@Ogilvy said more Hong Kong residents use Facebook, per capita, than Americans. Meanwhile, Ogilvy and Facebook huddle about apps, contests, video, etc., brainstorming about how brands can engage with consumers in locales like Hong Kong, Mumbai, and Jakarta.
"For Indonesia, the Internet population is almost perfectly mirrored by the Facebook population," Crampton said. "So if you're in Indonesia and on the Internet, you're on Facebook. It's become in many countries literally a mass medium, and that's something people working in marketing are still coming to terms with."

Parnell ran for re-election in 2014. After first considering a congressional bid, he announced on May 3, 2013 his intention to run for another term as governor.[2][3]
Parnell practice law for 13 years in the private sector prior to running for office. He was first elected to the Alaska House of Representatives in 1992. He served in the body until 1996, when he won election to the Alaska State Senate, serving through 2000.[4] Running for Congress in 2008, Parnell narrowly lost the Republican primary to Don Young by 304 votes.[5]
An analysis of Republican governors by Nate Silver of the New York Times in April 2013 ranked Parnell as the 14th most conservative governor in the country.[6]
Parnell is a native of Hanford, California but his family relocated to Alaska in 1973, when Parnell was 10 years old. His parents decided to move to the state after his father had been stationed at Fort Richardson. His father, Kevin, ran against legendary Alaska politician Don Young as a Democrat in 1980. That same year, Parnell graduated from East Anchorage High School. An attorney by training, he attended Pacific Lutheran University (B.B.A. 1984) and University of Puget Sound School of Law (J.D. 1987). He is admitted to the bar in both Alaska and Washington, D.C.
Parnell spent time working with Conoco Phillips Alaska after leaving the state legislature. In 2005, he moved to lobbying firm Patton Boggs, where he specialized in state and federal regulation of energy industries. At the end of 2006, Parnell took a job with Alaska's Division of Oil and Gas, which he left upon his election as lieutenant governor.
He was acting as an adviser to then-Governor Murkowski on Alaska's North Slope when he entered and won the lieutenant gubernatorial primary in 2006.

Political career
Governor of Alaska (2009-present)
Upon Sarah Palin's resignation from the governorship in 2009, Parnell, as lt. governor, assumed the role of Alaska's chief executive official. He is Alaska's 10th governor and successfully sought election to a full term of office in 2010.[1]
Oil production tax reform
In March 2013, the Finance Committee of the Republican-controlled Alaska State Senate presented an updated version of a bill by Parnell to remove the progressive tax system on oil production for the purpose of increasing stability, encouraging new development and simplifying international trade.[7]. Parnell's original plan called for oil producers to be taxed at a flat base rate of 25 percent. The Finance committee then drafted a version of Senate Bill 21 prescribing a rate of 30 percent, five percent less than an earlier proposal by the Resources Committee, but five percent more than Parnell's intial proposal. The bill would also give a $5 credit for each barrel of oil produced, as well as maintain the 20 percent tax break--current as of March 12, 2013--for new oil development known as a gross revenue exclusion. However, the exclusion would also apply to new oil from already-developed "legacy" fields.[8][9]
Democrats argued that the Parnell plan would not necessarily bring increased production, and that tax breaks should come after new investment. Bill Wielechowski said that the bill represented a "giveaway" to existing producers such as BP, Exxon, and ConocoPhillips. Industry figures had mixed opinions of the first two versions of the bill, praising the flat system, but not a base tax increase and a plan to limit the gross revenue exclusion to new fields. Legislative consultant Janak Meyer said that the Finance version would increase the state's competitiveness.[9] Democratic responses to Parnell's plan, including Senate Bill 50 and House Bill 111 had not received committee hearings one month after introduction.[10]
Lieutenant Governor (2006-2009)
Parnell took office as Lieutenant Governor in 2006 with Governor Sarah Palin.
Alaska State Legislature (1992-2000)
In 1992 Parnell was elected to the Alaska House of Representatives. He served as a member of the House Finance Committee and chaired numerous budget subcommittees. He served in the House for two terms.
Parnell was elected to a seat in the Alaska State Senate in 1996, and served there through 2000. He served on and later co-chaired the Finance Committee as well as being a member of the Energy Council.[11][1]

Recent Edisto Island Reviews
I got that Peaceful, easy feeling...
We wanted to take a few days to getaway and "detox" from our crazy schedule and this charming cottage providied the perfect setting. Edisto Island is a great place to get back to nature and really explore the coastal region. Much of Edisto is virtually unchanged from the time of our early American history, and the simplicity of life on this tranquil island is there for you to experience. Exploring Botany Bay Plantation and the amazing white washed trees and shells on the beach was a great excursion, just make sure you find a restroom before you enter the preserve! The cottage was very clean and orderly and is equipped with most of what you need to have a wonderful getaway. The TV is small and functional but listening to the frogs in the pond at night proved to be more entertaining than the TV. Just take it all in and relax. That's all you'll need to do here!
Great Little Getaway
We had a great time staying here. We had a wonderful time, and you just can't beat it for the price. I cooked breakfast one morning. The cottage had everything I needed. The distance from the beach is far enough to be out of the hassle of the beach, but it is wonderfully secluded. Also, the view of the old churches on the island on the way to the beach is beautiful. We ate at some wonderful restaurants, and enjoyed a few nights playing cards. The bed is cozy and very roomie. Our stay was a little chilly because of the weather, but I look forward to renting here again and having my morning quiet time under the big oak tree sitting at the picnic table. The tiki hut is very nice. Also there is an outside shower. My family really enjoyed this little cottage and we look forward to making a return trip. It really made our trip to Edisto wonderful.

Home care after
breaking a toe includes applying ice, elevating the foot, and rest. Medical
treatment for a broken toe depends on which toe is broken, where in the toe the
break is, and how severe the break is. If you do not
have diabetes or peripheral arterial disease, your injured toe can be
"buddy-taped" to the uninjured toe next to it. Protect the skin by putting some
soft padding, such as felt or foam, between your toes before you tape them
together. Your injured toe may need to be buddy-taped for 2 to 4 weeks to heal.
If your injured toe hurts more after buddy taping it, remove the tape.

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) September 01, 2014
The B-cell non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) treatment market value will experience moderate growth across six major markets (the US, France, Italy, Germany, Spain and the UK), from $4.59 billion in 2013 to $5.41 billion by 2018.
The competitive landscape in the B-cell NHL markets in the US, France, Italy, Germany, Spain and the UK is poised to undergo a dramatic shift during the forecast period. Disease management of the four largest B-cell NHL indications, which includes Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Follicular Lymphoma (FL), Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL), and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), currently revolves around multiple rounds of Rituxan-based chemotherapy. Although patients can achieve durable remissions to induction therapy, those patients who relapse after primary treatment have poor prognosis and high unmet needs. Several promising pipeline agents are set to have a dramatic impact on treatment of these relapsed/refractory patients over the forecast period: Pharmacyclics'/Janssen's Imbruvica, which was approved for relapsed/refractory MCL patients in November 2013, Gilead's Zydelig, which was approved for relapsed/refractory FL patients in July 2014, and Roche's Gazyva, which will launch in 2015.

Olivier Pain - Yamaha Factory Racing
The stage started off really fast and finished that way too, but in between there was a nice section of dunes, a little like Le Touquet, which was really fun to ride. I got a little stuck in the dust early on but made up some time in the sand and as a result moved up a little in the overall rankings. Now Im approaching the top 10 and am well placed on the eve of the first marathon stage.
Frans Verhoeven - Yamaha Netherlands Verhoeven
Mainly fast today with some dunes and a few river beds, quite technical in places. Like Olivier I got a little stuck in other peoples dust but thats part of the race. In the past I might have got overexcited in that kind of situation and tried to overtake in an inappropriate place but now Im older but wiser. My intention here isnt to take chances and put in a good time one day only to lose it the next. This year my strategy is to build my race slowly but surely and see where that leaves me at the final finish.
Michael Metge - Yamaha Factory Racing
It was an OK day until I got into the bivouac and discovered that the officials had given me a 41 minute penalty for supposedly arriving late at the bivouac yesterday evening something I dont understand at all as I came in at the same time as Cyril. Currently the organisers are looking at my GPS to check when I actually arrived and hopefully all that should be cleared up this evening. It kind of took the fun out the day

However, his fuel cap was much more ill at ease: I think among all the thrills and spills it must have been blown off, explains the South African rider. By finishing 43rd on his first Dakar last year, Brett Cummings was aiming for the Top 20 this year. However, withdrawals of sponsors opened another horizon to him, that of the rider without assistance. It's due to economic constraints but it's also a choice that is in keeping with the origins of the Dakar. As for the trials and tribulations that make the lesser and greater legends of the Dakar, between San Luis and San Raphael, Cummings had more than his fair share. He had to ride with just one fuel tank due to the sand that was getting into the other and then use the spectators as an improvised assistance team to obtain the petrol required to finish the last 25 kilometres of the stage. It was tough, because I can only speak English, he explains, alone, under the scorching sun,as is often the fate of the lone biking ranger. I must have lost 30 minutes and I was overtaken by the quads that I had passed. Now I'm trying to find a fuel cap. That's the Dakar: it's an endless struggle.
Dreaming of Dakar
Everyone has a max speed, 90% of that max speed is much safer and easier, and if that 90% speed isn't fast enough at Dakar, you enter the snowball.

NTEU warns against the loss of IRS jobs, revenue
The union that represents IRS workers is ramping up a public campaign in hopes of convincing voters that the loss of 4,000 tax collectors and agents would be bad for government services that they depend on. Congressional appropriators have proposed cutting the division's budget by $450 million-to-$600 million.

NEW DELHI: The Communist Party of India(Marxist) on Tuesday asked the Centre to reject the "artificially inflated" price proposed by Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) for the supply of gas from its Krishna-Godavari basin reserve.
Joining the row over natural gas pricing in the wake of the ongoing tussle between Mukesh Ambani's RIL and Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group's Reliance Natural Resources Ltd. that has moved the Bombay High Court seeking a gas supply agreement, the CPI(M) Polit Bureau has advised the Government to decide on the pricing based on "actual production costs plus reasonable profit."
In a statement, the CPI(M) noted that the prices of natural resources such as gas should not be left to market forces. The Empowered Group of Ministers should intervene as artificially jacked-up prices would affect the viability of power and fertilizer units that plan to switch over to cleaner fuel.
The party said that the RIL's current pricing formulation proposing to sell gas at $4.33 per million metric British thermal unit (mmbtu) was not in keeping with $2.34, the price it quoted in 2004 for gas supply to the public sector power major National Thermal Power Corporation.
"Even if the price quoted in 2004 through competitive bidding is indexed to the present, it can in no way allow an 85 per cent increase as the RIL has done while fixing the price at $ 4.33 mmbtu ," the statement said.
The RIL's gas price formulation is linked to international prices of crude oil and not to the cost of producing gas which is wholly a domestic product. The RIL proposal is designed to "ensure profit for the private contractor for exploiting natural resources of the country."

"From past experiences, I know many potentially at-risk employees will refuse to have a company nurse or skilled medical technician take their blood pressure for fear that the information will be used against them," Wright said. "When all is said and done, it is the employees themselves who must shoulder the first line of responsibility for their health, and anyone with the ability to take their blood pressure and pulse rate can determine their pulse product."
Organizations can implement periodic health awareness campaigns and provide employees with the opportunity to anonymously access blood pressure monitoring machines at work, Wright said. Additionally, another significant finding from incorporating this efficiency-based approach to cardiovascular health is the pronounced negative consequence of smoking, which corporations can address through reduced employee insurance premiums for smoking cessation.

Israeli PM urges 'just' replacement of draft law
No matter how the replacement draft law shapes up, integrating large numbers of strictly religious conscripts will be a major challenge for the military.
Many ultra-Orthodox men would have to be taught basic skills, like rudimentary math, because their school systems barely teach them. Their aversion to direct contact with women could undercut the military's declared commitment to giving female conscripts equal opportunities.
Insubordination in the military could grow if ultra-Orthodox men find themselves forced to choose between religious beliefs and commanders' orders. And the costs will be high: Drafting this community would require special arrangements, ranging from special kitchens conforming with the strictest interpretation of Jewish dietary law to exclusively ultra-Orthodox units.
Perhaps the biggest challenge, however, will be inducting thousands of unwilling men over the objection of rabbis. Rabbis are struggling fiercely to keep their community cloistered, and they see conscription compromising devotion to a holy life.
Today, the military tries to woo ultra-Orthodox conscripts by accommodating their special lifestyle, said Maj. Amir Vaknin, who oversees the military's ultra-Orthodox draft programs. The message to rabbis is that the conscript's way of life won't be threatened, he added.
"We won't change (them), we integrate without changing. We offer a profession, an income, then soldiers return to ultra-Orthodox life," Vaknin said.

Hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 and sodium chloride injection as adjunctive therapy in patients with cerebral hypoperfusion

Both severe stenosis and completed occlusion in internal carotid artery or its distal branches have been considered the main reasons of cerebral hypoperfusion, which contributes to the washout disturbances of embolism in low perfusion territories distal to stenosis. An aggravated hypoperfusion state in certain brain region may induce ischemic stroke and further cognitive decline. However, the effective medication for cerebral hypoperfusion is largely unsettled.
By using computed tomography perfusion (CTP) imaging, the trial will evaluate the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 for patients with extra-/intra-cranial artery stenosis and cerebral hypoperfusion. From 5 neurological inpatient wards, 300 patients will be randomly recruited for administered routine medications plus intravascular volume therapies using the equal volume of HES 130/0.4 or 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Cerebral hypoperfusion state after 7-day intervention is the primary outcome measure. The secondary outcome measures includes, impaired renal function, abnormal heart function, hematological changes, neurological dysfunctions and cerebrovascular events in peri-intervention period and/or 3-month follow-up. The sample size will allow the detection of a two-sided 5% significance level between groups in the endpoint with a power of 80%.
The trial would provide important efficacy and safety data on the intravascular administration of HES 130/0.4 in patients with unilateral cerebral hypoperfusion. The effects on kidney function, heart function, coagulation, neurological function and cerebralvascular events will be assessed.

At about the same time, the INS put an end to one of the few programs that offered some solace to detainees, when Quarantillo abruptly canceled Bible study and English language classes that had been conducted by Jesuit Refugee Services for two and a half years, after objecting to a passage from Matthew being part of the lesson plan. It states: "I was a stranger and you invited me in. . . . I was in prison and you came to visit me." Pastoral visits were also suspended. "The Newark District of the INS has no objection to Matthew 25 or any other Bible passage and does not seek to censor them," said district director Quarantillo in a statement released in late December. "We only request that detention issues should not be included in the lesson plans." Durko explains that JRS volunteers "aren't qualified to talk about detention and therefore are passing misinformation. That builds up hopes and then frustrates people."
Abraham Zuma, for one, places the blame for his frustrations in detention on the sluggish system and harsh conditions, not on the visitors who offered him the sympathy he thought America would extend to any refugee. "They were helping me so much," he says, "just because they feel for the people."
On March 9, a new Bible study course began, offered by several Episcopalian groups, which had to agree not to discuss detention issues. That's not a problem for Reverend Joe Parrish, who runs the program. "We have no reason to discuss detention," he says. "We don't have a clue or inkling of the law or of how the process works."

The report said Jobs installed a secret team on the third floor of Building 2 on Apple's campus to replace Google Maps on the iPhone, Mashable reports.
"At the time of his death, Jobs had come to loathe Google, which he felt was copying features of the iPhone while withholding a key feature of Google Maps that allows smartphones to dictate turn-by-turn directions aloud," the report added.
The report also said that Jobs was so frustrated with Google, a firm he reportedly vowed to wage "thermonuclear war" against, that he even considered nixing Google search from the iPhone.
But, as two former Apple execs told BusinessWeek, he backed away from this idea realizing that customers would "reject the move."

Clinton rules out early end to US nukes in Europe
TALLIN, Estonia U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is ruling out an early removal of the last remaining U.S. nuclear weapons in Europe.
She told a NATO meeting that any reduction in the U.S. force - which is estimated to total about 200 bombs designed for launching from attack jets - should be part of a negotiated deal with the Russians, who have far more so-called tactical nuclear weapons in the region.
No such negotiation is in the offing, and the Russians have expressed little interest in it.
Clinton did not say the U.S. nuclear weapons should never be pulled out of Europe, and she said their future should be decided by NATO as a group - not by the United States alone.
But she said that as long as nuclear weapons exist, NATO will remain a nuclear alliance.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
TALLINN, Estonia (AP) - The civilian leader of the NATO alliance said Thursday that U.S. nuclear weapons based in Europe are essential to NATO's defense strategy, a likely signal of defeat for calls by some Europeans for an early withdrawal of the estimated 200 bombs.
The comments come as the Obama administration is pressing Moscow to negotiate reductions in U.S. and Russian short-range nuclear weapons deployed in Europe.
"I do believe that the presence of the American nuclear weapons in Europe is an essential part of a credible deterrent," NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told a news conference shortly before U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met over dinner with 27 other NATO country representatives to discuss nuclear weapons policy and the future of missile defense.
Fogh Rasmussen also credited President Barack Obama with putting "new wind in the sails" of the disarmament movement by calling for a nuclear-free world last April in Prague.
Clinton was expected to spell out at the dinner the Obama administration's view of how NATO should pursue the nuclear policy debate, which formally begins in this Baltic seaside capital and is due to climax in November when Obama and other NATO government leaders gather in Lisbon, Portugal, to endorse a rewriting of the alliance's basic defense doctrine.
At a news conference with Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet, Clinton said no one should doubt U.S. defense links to its allies.
"Let me be clear," she said. "Our commitment to Estonia and our other allies is a bedrock principle of the United States and we will never waver from it."
Clinton and her aides declined to preview her remarks on nuclear policy, but they pointed to the latest statement of U.S. views on the subject: a Nuclear Posture Review published earlier this month that said nuclear weapons remain a vital part of NATO strategy for deterring attack. That statement also said the presence of U.S. nuclear arms in Europe contributes to alliance cohesion and confidence.
The nuclear element of the U.S. defense commitment to Europe takes several forms: the potential use of U.S.-based long-range nuclear missiles; the capability to quickly move U.S.-based short-range nuclear weapons to Europe in a time of crisis, and the storage of an estimated 200 nuclear bombs, designed to be dropped by short-range attack jets, in five European countries. Some Europeans have called for the forward-based bombs to be removed.

From the Publisher"[A] book of manners for the debauched. Its readers in the late Ming period likely hid it under their bedcovers."—Amy Tan, New York Times Book Review
Praise for Volume 1: "[I]t is time to remind ourselves that The Plum in the Golden Vase is not just about sex, whether the numerous descriptions of sexual acts throughout the novel be viewed as titillating, harshly realistic, or, in Mr. Roy's words, intended 'to express in the most powerful metaphor available to him the author's contempt for the sort of persons who indulge in them.' The novel is a sprawling panorama of life and times in urban China, allegedly set safely in the Sung dynasty, but transparently contemporary to the author's late sixteenth-century world, as scores of internal references demonstrate. The eight hundred or so men, women, and children who appear in the book cover a breath-taking variety of human types, and encompass pretty much every imaginable mood and genre—from sadism to tenderness, from light humor to philosophical musings, from acute social commentary to outrageous satire."—Jonathan Spence, New York Review of Books
Praise for Volume 1: "Racy, colloquial, and robustly scatalogical, [this translation] could only have been done now, when our literary language has finally shed its Victorian values. David Tod Roy enters with zest into the spirit and the letter of the original, quite surpassing . . . earlier versions."—Paul St. John Mackintosh, Literary Review
Praise for Volume 1: "Reading Roy's translation is a remarkable experience."—Robert Chatain, Chicago Tribune Review of Books

LEXINGTON – Anderson County put up a big-league fight, but Paul L. Dunbar had too many weapons. Dunbar pulled away from a 28-28 tie early in the third quarter to post a 70-60 win over Anderson in girls' basketball action on Friday night.
Dunbar star Ebony Rowe, a Middle Tennessee signee, dominated the second half, relentlessly crashing the boards and patrolling the middle of Dunbar's zone press. Rowe finished with 20 points.
"When we tied it, she just put them on her shoulders and carried them," Anderson coach Tony Kays said.
Bearcats 58, Owen County 42
Anderson County went on a 10-0 run late in the first quarter, then followed with a 17-6 uprising in the second on its way to a 58-42 win over regional rival Owen County on Thursday night on Glen Drury Court.
Four of Anderson's five startes marked the scorebook in the early run while the fifth first-teamer, Will Ruggles, added a dazzling assist to Grant Cox.

Margaret Sanger
(b. 1879, Corning, New York; d. 1966, Tucson, Arizona)
Margaret Sanger was an activist who pioneered the fight for American reproductive freedom in the early 20th century.
She was born Margaret Louise Higgins, in Corning, New York, to a large Catholic working-class family. One of eleven children, Sanger was profoundly affected by her mother's death from cervical cancer and tuberculosis in 1899. In addition to eleven live births, Sanger's mother experienced seven additional pregnancies, which Sanger believed were the cause of her mother's ill health.
Prior to her mother's death, Sanger attended nursing school but did not graduate. In 1910, she married architect William Sanger and the two moved to New York City with their children. There they became involved with a circle of New York intellectuals and liberals, including socialist writer, Max Eastman; writer and activist, Upton Sinclair; patron of the arts, Mable Dodge; and feminist, Emma Goldman. During this time she became an activist for women's labor unions, participating in strikes aimed at bettering women's working conditions in factories.
Soon after her separation from William Sanger in 1913, she move to New York City and began working in poverty-stricken neighborhoods, where she learned that the majority of women were not afforded access to education about their reproductive systems. With the help of Emma Goldman, renowned anarchist and activist, Sanger began to see reproductive freedom as a class issue and sought to educate working-class women about these topics.
In 1912, she began writing the column "What Every Girl Should Know" in the New York Call. The government immediately censored the column in 1913 because of an article about syphilis. In 1914, Sanger began publishing her own paper called The Woman Rebel where she first coined the term "birth control." The Woman Rebel was a radical feminist monthly, which encouraged women to think freely and take control of their lives, and advocated birth control and disease prevention. The first issue was censored by the U.S. Postal Service, and Sanger was charged with nine counts of breaking obscenity law. She fled to Europe to escape prosecution, returning to the U.S. in 1915.
Upon her return, Sanger became involved in court battles to challenge New York's Comstock laws, which banned the dissemination of information about contraception to women. She won the right to open the first birth control clinic in Brooklyn in 1916. There, nurses distributed her famous pamphlet "What Every Girl Should Know," which covered such topics as puberty, sexual diseases, and pregnancy, in a variety of languages including Yiddish and Italian.
Later that same year, Sanger founded the American Birth Control League, which eventually evolved into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. She became president of the International Planned Parenthood Federation and held this position until 1959. Sanger remained active in the reproductive rights movement, working on the development of the birth control pill and the legalization of birth control up until her death in 1966.
Margaret Sanger at The Dinner Party
Margaret Sanger's plate at The Dinner Party is painted with bright red glazes that evoke the female reproductive organs and the blood that is involved in the reproductive process, as well as the battle for reproductive freedom. This red hue serves as a reminder of the bloodshed of many women who died during childbirth or as a result of illegal and unsafe abortions. It also signifies the struggle of early reproductive rights activists, who risked arrest and jail time for their participation in the movement.
Chicago purposefully added a sculptural third dimension to plates on the last wing of the table to represent those women who became more active in their struggles to escape the confines of womanhood. The bodily form on Sanger's plate lifts up and reaches around the plate's edges, a symbol of "Sanger's efforts to lift up her sex" (Chicago, The Dinner Party, 93). The delicate sections of the form were made in a series of ceramic casts and connected with slip to the white plate underneath.
The runner for Sanger's place setting was created with pink satin and embroidered with tones of pale pink, reds, and purples to correspond with the intense colors of the plate. The form of the runner was fashioned to suggest a butterfly, a symbol of personal freedom achieved not only by Sanger, but by all women who benefited from her fight for reproductive choice (Chicago, The Dinner Party,142).
Stitched into the runner is imagery from medical drawings of the female reproductive system, which mirror the depth and texture of the plate. The artists used a long-and-short stitch to create the "illusion that the forms swelled and tapered, overlapped, and moved from shadow into light" (Chicago, Embroidering Our Heritage, 246).
On the front of the runner, stitched in silk within the illuminated letter "M," is a fettered mother and baby inspired by a quote from Sanger that reproductive freedom would free women from "motherhood in chains" (Chicago, The Dinner Party, 142).

Sri Lanka on Thursday slammed outgoing UN rights chief Navy Pillay of "personal bias" and for trying to "influence" UNHRC probe into reports of war crimes in the country during the last phase of conflict against the LTTE.
Taking exception to Pillay's recent comments, the External Affairs Ministry said, "the United Nations can conduct an effective investigation into reports of war crimes in Sri Lanka without visiting the country".
Sri Lanka has vowed not to cooperate with the investigation and allow the UN investigators into the country.
"High Commissioner who is scheduled to leave office at the end of this month making public pronouncements to the media on an investigation which has commenced only recently is a clear indication of personal bias. It is evidence of an attempt to influence the investigation process and make it follow a preconceived trajectory," the Ministry said in a statement.
Pillay has also been accused of relying on unverified statistics from the UN sources. "The prejudice and lack of objectivity on issues pertaining to Sri Lanka displayed by High Commissioner Pillay in the past are unfortunate," it said.
Sri Lanka calls the allegations against the government in Pillay's report, a flagrant violation of natural justice, which are drawn from testimonies shrouded in secrecy in view of the twenty-year confidentiality granted to those who had given the testimony, it said.
"The United Nations Human Rights Council should seek to work with Sri Lanka in a cooperative, collaborative, constructive and transparent manner to further strengthen the State's capacity to promote and protect human rights but Pillay, instead, pays scant regard to the ongoing delicate process of reconciliation in Sri Lanka argues," the statement said.
The Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights was empowered by the UNHRC resolution late March to carry out an independent investigation into alleged rights abuses during Sri Lanka's final stages of the war with the LTTE which ended in 2009.
Sri Lanka has dubbed the resolution an intrusive step taken by the rights body and the appointment of the investigating panel as a breach of its sovereignty and refused to cooperate with the investigation.

Airlines insist they'll stick with Boeing Dreamliner after fire
Published on Jul 14, 2013 9:23 PM
LONDON (REUTERS) - Airlines expressed confidence in the safety of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner on Sunday as investigators searched for the cause of a fire on one of the advanced jets and billions were wiped off the company's market value.
British officials said initial checks into what they called a serious incident appeared to rule out any link to the battery-related problems that grounded the Dreamliner fleet for three months earlier this year.
The fire on the Ethiopian Airlines plane at Heathrow Airport in London and a separate technical problem on a second 787 owned by Britain's Thomson Airways on Friday raised new questions about an aircraft seen as crucial to Boeing's future.
The incidents were a setback for a company trying to rebuild confidence in its flagship jet and compete with Airbus in the booming market for more fuel-efficient long-distance planes.

large main or large headsail?
Actually, James, most of the modern fast boats have much larger mainsails than jibs. If you look at boats as diverse as IMS typeform boats, to Open class race boats, to America''s Cup boats, to racing multihulls, to Volvo 60''s, all have large mainsails in proportion to their jibs. Most older rating rule based race boats (CCA & IOR for example), were designed when the rule under penalized headsails and therefore have large jibs as compared to the mainsail strictly as a way of beating the rule. The only modern rule that still under penalizes headsails and so have predominantly small mainsails and large jibs is the MORC rule.
In a general sense, for an equal sail area, a fractionally rigged boat will be easier to handle and will be faster. It is only when you get into unrated area that a Masthead rig shines. If you were designing a rig for speed but independent of rating rules it would probably have a 7/8 fractional rig with minimal overlapping jibs and a sellection of masthead spinnaker and fractionally spinnakers.

Good Spelling Software Should Provide a Massive Library of Words, eReflect Announces
Ultimate Spelling offers its users a comprehensive literacy resource that allows users to practice from an extensive library of words. The eReflect development team stated in their latest announcement that the 2013 release of the software now includes even more useful words with their correct spelling.
New York City, NY (PRWEB) July 25, 2013

The eReflect team noted that this feature is unique to Ultimate Spelling, and is specifically designed so that students are able to master spellings while also gaining knowledge and learn the pronunciation, rhymes, definitions, and usage of each particular word. Such a strategy ensures that the entire learning process is fun and engaging.
eReflect and the team at Ultimate Spelling plan on reviewing the dictionary regularly to make sure that usage examples and definitions are up to date, ensuring that users continue to have an extensive literacy resource for 2014 and beyond to allow them to improve their spelling skills with relative ease.
