On Monday, June 15 you can unite with funeral directors from every town in America to make a difference in Washington, D.C. ... and the best part is you don't have to leave your office. The NFDA Advocacy Department's Cyber Monday "virtual" event is a great opportunity for anyone who attended the Advocacy Summit to follow up on their visits with members of Congress. If you weren't able to attend the Summit, you will be able to make your voice heard on four key issues that impact the families you serve. Click here to learn how easy it is for you to make a difference on Monday, June 15.
FTC Consumer Complaint Scam is Back
Posted: May 20, 2015
Last week, the FTC alerted businesses that an old scam is back. A number of businesses throughout the country have received an email notifying them that a consumer has filed a complaint with the FTC; the emails look official and contain the FTC seal and links and email addresses that appear to be legitimate. Do not click on any of the links in these emails; clicking on a link in these email could do serious damage to your computer or allow scammers access to your systems. Visit the FTC website to learn what you should do if you receive one of these emails.
2016 Advocacy Summit Dates Announced
Posted: May 20, 2015
When our members talk, we listen! Snowstorms during the last three Advocacy Summits have resulted in Congressional offices closing and travel difficulties for members. While we can't change the weather, we can change the date of the Summit in an effort to avoid pesky March storms. The 2016 Advocacy Summit will be held April 6-8, 2016. It will feature opportunities for you to meet with elected officials from your state, fascinating guest speakers, a reception on Capitol Hill and much more. The 2016 schedule will be different from previous years, so be sure to keep an eye out for more updates.

According to a well-known gauge of the U.S. housing market, home prices have been on an upswing. The latest S&P/Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index, which was released in May, posted its biggest gain in seven years. This improvement has spurred renewed optimism about housing's role in the country's economic recovery.
What does the latest S&P/Case-Shiller home price index reveal about home prices?
The 20-city index–one of several S&P/Case-Shiller housing indices–showed a 10.9% gain between March 2012 and March 2013, the highest increase since 2006. In addition, all 20 cities tracked by the index had gains for three straight months.While the numbers certainly give homeowners and real estate investors cause to be optimistic, it's important to note that not all cities saw the same price increases. Both San Francisco and Phoenix saw large price jumps of more than 20%. However, New York and Boston had smaller gains of 2.6% and 6.7%, respectively. What factors are driving the recovery, and what do rising home prices mean for the economy as a whole?A variety of factors are driving home prices up, such as low housing inventory, low mortgage rates, and a decline in foreclosures/short sales.As for the economy as a whole, rising home prices often serve as an indicator that the economy is performing better since it generally demonstrates increased consumer confidence. And while this latest report is good news for homeowners looking to sell, it also provides welcome news to underwater homeowners who may now see an increase in their home equity.
It is important to note, however, that other economic data–such as the large number of institutional investors buying properties to rent–suggests that there is still a ways to go in terms of a full-fledged housing recovery.
Could this all lead to another housing bubble?Today's economic environment is different than the one that led to the housing bubble burst in 2006. Those differences include a tighter mortgage lending environment and houses that are still undervalued at prices that are significantly lower than they were at their 2006 peak.

From Barnes & NobleThe Barnes & Noble Review
Using classical references and up-to-the-minute cultural asides, British historian and wine writer Stuart Walton presents an engaging history of humankind under alcoholic influence. Whatever one's attitude toward inebriation -- lifetime teetotaler, moderate Merlot sipper, or recovering addict -- this book makes it clear that humanity has had a very hard time resisting the lure of the mind-altering experience, whether be it with ancient Greek wheat fungus, hearty medieval mead, pharmaceutical opiates, or postindustrial household solvents.
Like the cool professor who mixes his hard data with everyday anecdotes, Walton is easy to warm to. He's done his homework "in the stacks," and, as he indicates, in pubs, raves, and Amsterdam coffeehouses. And he makes some persuasive points, especially his contention that even the most rarified of oenophilic palettes first acquire a taste for wine because of its feel-good effects. His view on interdiction is more revolutionary; laws restricting substances have little to do with the costs of use or addiction, he says. Rather, governments control mind-altering matter because they make us giddy, sluggish, hepped up, or questioning -- in short, less eager to punch our timecards. There are a few sour notes to Walton's brew, however. Its allusions be unfamiliar to the American reader (when was the last time you passed an addict on the street who was soused on hard cider?), and it's easy to imagine young experimenters skimming these pages for justifications to toke. But for those who savor reading about drinks in addition to sipping them, this compendium contains some heady stuff. Katherine Hottinger

A couple of problems you may run into with using an outboard, even a long-shaft version on an outboard bracket, is that most boats will have a problem with keeping the prop of an outboard, mounted at the stern in the water. You might be better off using an outboard well, a bit further forward. Not only would this prevent having the 100 lbs of outboard hanging off the very stern of the boat, but it would probably allow it to grip the water much more efficiently. A marine surveyor or architect can give you a better idea of how well the boat would work with a stern-mounted outboard. The stern would probably also need some structural reinforcement to handle the weight and power of the outboard.
I would strongly recommend that you go for a four-stroke design, as they are quieter, cleaner, and more fuel-efficient than the two-stroker varieties.
You don't mention the length, displacement or size of the vessel in question, or how large the Yanmar diesel that you are looking to replace was. The horsepower to boat size ratio of diesel engines to gasoline engines isn't quite a linear one, as the diesel engines generally have a lower rpm and higher torque curve than the gasoline engines.
Most outboards have a very limited selection of props they can be used with, and finding one that has the appropriate pitch and power rating for your boat may be an issue.

response and lower Th-2 response. A third possibility would be to delete a nonessential antigen from BCG in order to use that antigen, or its absence, as a diagnostic marker; this would be valuable in future trials of protective efficacy for any TB vaccine.
In response to questions from the audience, Dr. Hoft added the following points:
Efficacy studies show that BCG is more effective in infants than in adults, but this is partly because its easier to detect clinical effects in infants, who have a higher incidence of progressing to disseminated disease. Efficacy is harder to detect in vaccinated adults, who may take 10 or 20 years to progress to disseminated disease.
Rising rates of TB in adult populations, especially in tropical developing countries, do not point to a major failure in terms of BCG vaccination of adults. At the same time, they point to the need to do better. What is needed is a strategy that concentrates on preventing the spread of infection by detecting and treating asymptomatic as well as symptomatic cases.
Evidence suggests that Th-2 responses predominate in antibody production, while Th-1 responses induce Ig subsets. The two don't necessarily conflict in the development of protective immunity, but it may be important to learn how to use different schedules of vaccination to induce the two responses in different sites.
As long as overall rates of infection remain low, the United States will probably not use BCG except for people who are at very high risk for infection with multiple-drug resistant TB.
There is data on crossreactive immune responses to other mycobacterial species such as M. vaccae. This may have a role as a potential adjuvant in immunotherapy. Further study is needed.
There are as yet no data on the use of BCG as a carrier for other antigens, but it promises to be a very useful vector. The technique has worked in animals, and MedImmune is currently conducting tests in humans.
There have at present been no controlled trials of intranasal or oral vaccination with BCG in humans.
Pathobiology. Histoplasma capsulatum and Coccidioides immitis are soil-based dimorphic fungi. In the soil they exist as molds, but they can cause serious disease when inhaled by animals or humans.

Cuban spy unrepentant, but hopes for better ties
He said he hoped his release would give hope to the other four agents and their families.
Of his four co-defendants, 49-year-old Fernando Gonzalez, also known as Ruben Campa, is scheduled for release from an Arizona prison Feb. 27, according to the federal Bureau of Prisons. Antonio Guerrero, 54, is set to walk out of a north Florida prison Sept. 18, 2017. The other two are serving much longer sentences.
Gonzalez flew to Florida in 1990 on a crop duster that he had supposedly hijacked in order to defect. In reality, he was a Cuban agent from the start.
Finally reunited permanently with his wife and two daughters, Gonzalez insisted on Monday that he had never second-guessed his actions.
"Nobody made me do it. They told me the risks, and I said `Yes,'" he said. "I did it as a Cuban patriot and I don't have any regrets ... I've never doubted myself for a second."
Gonzalez insists his activities never aimed to harm the United States or its people, but only to protect Cuba from a wave of bombings perpetrated by militant exile groups that aimed to sabotage the island's tourism industry. An Italian man was killed.
He said he took no pleasure in renouncing his citizenship, though he has always felt more Cuban than American.
"I have family in the United States and I left many friends there," he said. "It is a country with a history that is admirable ... One realizes that there is more that we have in common than what separates us."

Re: Saturday Service Plays
Dave Malinsky comp 4* play (Dave is 9-1 last 10)
GAME: Wright State @ Valparaiso Mar 1, 2008 12:00PM
PICK: Wright State
Offered at: 5
REASON FOR PICK: 4* WRIGHT STATE over VALPARAISO
We don't have to wait for the Horizon League tournament to get underway in a few days – it starts right here. Wright State is just a win away from clinching second place in the conference and a first round bye, and a savvy team behind an outstanding coach can be counted on to play under control in this one. That means the usual outstanding defense (allowing 57.9 points per game in conference play at 39.6 percent shooting), and valuing the basketball (only 12.5 turnovers per game in league action). And when you do that, is it any wonder that Brad Brownell is 11-2 ATS as a Horizon underdog the past two seasons? Now a team that has only lost one conference game by more than five points all season is being offered that in the marketplace against a fading opponent, and we will take full advantage.
Valparaiso entering the Horizon was a bigger step up that the marketplace has appreciated, and it has taken a toll. After a good early start the Crusaders are under .500 in conference play, and instead of being a confident unit down the stretch Homer Drew is doing some awkward juggling. There have been four different starting lineups over the last seven games as he tries to stem the physical and mental fatigue that has set in, and they nearly hit rock bottom on Thursday, when out-manned Detroit (leading scorer Jon Goode absent) had them down double figures on this court in the second half. They rallied to gut that one out, but it was another ATS failure as conference home chalk, where they are 1-5 for the season, including three outright losses.
The one advantage Valparaiso did have was getting to play a couple of league games in early December, and the Crusaders were in the right place at the right time to upset what was then a young Wright State team on the road. That still carries a full weighting in most of the data bases, which is why this line is as high as it is. But these teams have gone in opposite directions since then, with Brownell bringing the Raiders along to the point where they could stand toe-to-toe with Butler on the road Thursday, despite the fact that the Bulldogs were the ones playing with a revenge motive, and we expect the outright win here, with the points being offered a major bargain.
Re: Saturday Service Plays
Scott Spreitzer's CBB Conf Slam Dunk Game of the Year! -- Saturday
I'm laying the points with Arkansas on Saturday. Vandy caught Tennessee at the perfect time with the Vols hard-fought win over Memphis and a first-ever #1 ranking. This time, it's the Commodores who're in "letdown" mode following their emotional win over the Vols. I'd side with the Hogs whether Vandy was in "letdown" mode or not, though. The Razorbacks are too athletic for Vandy and also own the big frontline to give the 'Dores fits inside, especially on the defenisve end. Arkansas' Steven Hill, Darian Townes, and Michael Washington go 7'0, 6'10, and 6'10, respectively. Making Arkansas and even tougher draw is guard Patrick Beverly, who not only makes a team concentrate their defense on the perimeter, but also cleans the glass for almost seven boards per game. He's off a poor outing and I look for a serious bounce-back from him. This team is incredibly athletic, but is also "long" which makes them ultra-tough on their home floor. The Hogs are also in need of an important win. Following their February 9 win over Ole Miss, Arkansas stood tall with a 17-5 SU record. But they've played four of their last five games away from home, and dropped all four road tilts. That's been the story for this team this season. They're 13-1 at home, winning by over 16 points per game. They're a disappointing 3-6 SU on the road. The Razorbacks are an almost perfect 9-1 as a home fave with an average final score of 77-to-63! Meanwhile, Vandy has already dropped four conference roadies this season, and they're just 2-4 SU/ATS as a road dog, overall, allowing 74 PPG! The Commodores are also a bankroll-busting, 4-9 ATS when playing with three or more days between games. Finally, Arkansas' athleticism allows them to take teams off the dribble. Vandy doesn't have the type of athletes to deny this fact on the defensive end. That means they'll likely be forced to play more zone than normal. That's bad news when facing Beverly, Sonny Weems, and Stefan Welsh, who combine for more than a dozen three-point attempts per contest. Arkansas has been, and will be a bad matchup for Vandy's style. In fact, the Hogs are the only team to beat Vandy each of the last two seasons in Nashville. Now, with the 'Dores off the emotionally high win over Tennessee, Vandy will be in an even tougher spot than normal. I'm laying the points with Arkansas on Saturday. Thanks! GL! Scott.
Scott Spreitzer's CBB Heavy Hitter! (Only one in 2008!)
I'm laying the points with Indiana State on Saturday evening. Coach Kevin McKenna has led his Sycamores to major improvements in his first season at the helm. Now, they have a chance to wrap-up the regular season with a winning situation against an incredibly poor road squad. Missouri State is a horrible 0-8 on the conference road this season and just 1-11 in 12 road games, overall. The Bears are a bankroll busting 0-11 ATS on the road this season. They're averaging just 62 PPG outside of Springfield on 41-percent shooting, compared to over 72 PPG and 47-percent by the opposition. The Sycamores are 7-1 in home conference games with the seven wins coming by almost 12 points per game. McKenna has had great success as a division-II coach at Nebraska-Omaha, and as an assistant in two stints under Dana Altman at Creighton. He's turning the program in Terre Haute around rather quickly, and I expect nothing short of a 10 point win on Saturday. I'm laying the points with Indiana State. Thanks! GL! Scott.
Re: Saturday Service Plays
2-Unit Play. Take #716 Connecticut (-4.5) over West Virginia
West Virginia is just 1-5 SU against the RPI Top 50 and are coming off a dominating win on the road at DePaul. They've only played four road games in the last six weeks and they lost to the only decent clubs they played. That includes losses at Louisiville and Pitt, two teams with tough perimeter defense and a strong big man on the interior. That's how UConn is built as well. UConn is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and is 4-1-1 AT in their last six home games. Connecticut has been playing down to its competition but they get amped up for quality opponents. They have already had some success in Hartford this year and I think they will shoot down WVU on this "neutral" court.

Gator's NBA/CBB 70% Report
Saturday: Play On CBB road teams where the line is +3 to -3 off a road win against a conference rival against opponent off an embarrassing road loss scoring less than 60 points 39-10 ATS the last 5 seasons (79.6%) PLAY: Seton Hall +1.5
Re: Saturday Service Plays
3-Unit Play. #771 Take Old Dominion -1 over UNC Wilmington (4 pm)
Six straight wins for the Monarchs, and they are certainly peaking at the right time with the CAA tourney next weekend. They'll keep things going in the right direction here, having won eight of the last nine meetings vs. the Seahawks and also going 6-2-1 ATS in those games. Guard play will be the difference, and ODU will score the victory behind Brandon Johnson and Gerald Lee.
2-Unit Play. #755 Take USC +1.5 over Arizona State (6 pm)
The Trojans are stepping up and making sure they secure a bid for the Big Dance. Three straight wins in conference play, sweeping through the two Oregon schools as well as taking care of Arizona in Tuscon on Thursday. Now they get fellow Grand Canyon state program Arizona State, and this one will go to Southern Cal just the same. O.J. Mayo is playing his best basketball of the season, and he is getting help from fellow freshman Devon Jefferson and Taj Gibson. And with Daniel Hackett now back, we'll see an even stronger team in March. The underdog has gone 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings, and USC takes this one outright as the small dog.
2-Unit Teaser Play. #788 Take Indiana State -3.5 (+.5) over Missouri State (7 pm)
#825 Take St. Mary's +6.5 (+10.5) over Gonzaga (8 pm)
Senior night for the Sycamores, and they'll continue the road woes of Missouri State. Indiana State is 12-1 at home this season, while the Bears are 1-11 on the road. The Sycamores have also covered seven of their last eight in their home gym, and we'll see them score the win here in their final home game of the season.
The Gaels have been strong all year, with only bad setbacks early in the season at Southern Illinois and to Texas. I expect a very good game in Spokane and for this one to be decided by just a couple of baskets either way. With Patrick Mills and Diamon Simpson, St. Mary's has the playmakers to give the Bulldogs issues on the defensive side of things. This number will be good here.
3-Unit Play. #813 Take Dayton +1.5 over Fordham (7 pm)
The Flyers need to cook up a little momentum heading into the A-10 tourney, and with freshman Chris Wright possibly back I think they get a nice road win over a bad Rams team. Fordham is just 11-14 this season and only 4-12 ATS in its last 16 home games. Dayton can still get to 20 wins this season, and this one will help them in that chase for an NCAA birth.
2-Unit Play. #901 Take Tennessee Martin +6 over Murray State (8:30 pm)
The Skyhawks have been a big moneymaker this season with their 17-8-1 ATS mark. They are on a roll in their latest current push, winning six straight and eight of their last ten, including five straight covers. Conversely, Murray State is just 3-5 in its last eight games and are just 2-7 ATS in its last nine lined games. The high scoring Skyhawks will again cash and come through, thanks to another strong effort from big time scorer Lester Hudson.
3-Unit Play. #877 Take Pacific -2.5 over Cal Poly SLO (10:30 pm)
The Tigers owe Cal Poly some revenge after losing their first meeting at Pacific earlier this year. They fell as double digit favorites in one of their worst games of the year, so I expect a much more inspired effort to get their 20th victory of the year. Pacific is the better team here, and they'll show it here with a strong road win.

Alana's had great food! Portions were big. It is not a place to have a quick dinner. We had 3 courses and it took about 2.5 hours. Appetizers were great. Desserts could have been better!

I'm friends with someone who worked at this restaurant, and the "chef" sneaks bacon fat into the vegan risotto because she dislikes vegans. Ridiculous. Also, that could make people horribly ill. It's irresponsible and severely…

The Vanguard Alta Pro 264AT 4-Section Aluminum Tripod features a Multi-Angle Central Column (MACC) system that enables the center column to swivel 180° from a straight-up orientation all the way to an upside-down orientation – with the ability to set the column at any angle along the way, including a 90° lateral position.
The lightweight aluminum tripod reaches a maximum height of 61" and supports loads up to 11 lb when tilted or 15.4 lb when straight. It folds down to a compact 21.1" for easy transport or storage. A bubble level on the chassis helps you ensure that the head attachment is flush with the horizon.
The 264AT's aluminum alloy legs can be set independently at three different angles – 25, 50, and 80° – to accommodate both low-angle shooting and shooting from uneven terrain. Non-slip rubber feet hide retractable spikes, which makes the tripod suitable for various types of terrain.
A carry bag is also included with the 264AT tripod.
- Instant Swivel Stop-n-Lock (ISSL) system allows you to securely reposition the central column in one simple movement while maintaining the tripod's stability
- Removable hook at bottom of center column for adding a counterweight in windy conditions or for situations with unbalanced loads
- Non-rotating hexagonal center column provides extra stability
- Magnesium die-cast chassis and center post collar
- Quick-flip leg locks

PwC has conducted a European study analysing trends in working capital management and its link with profitability. It shows how companies can benefit from better working capital management in terms of access to liquidity and cash as well as profitability.
This analysis is based on publicly available financial statements of more than 950 quoted companies. It covers the main countries and industries of Europe.
The first section shows the evolution of working capital levels throughout the 2004-2008 period. It provides benchmarking data across the sectors and countries in scope.
The key findings are:
The second section analyses the impact an improvement in working capital could make on the performance of a company.
It shows that improving the working capital ratio from the median to the upper quartile of an industry could on average generate a 6.5% improvement in RONA. And, in some industries, this could be as much as a 15.6% improvement.
Similarly, improving the cash conversion cycle by only five days is equivalent on average to more than a 2% improvement in net operating profit after tax (NOPAT).
These scenarios clearly support the idea that improved working capital is one of the key levers to increasing bottom-line performance.
We hope this study will help CEOs and CFOs understand the urgent need for focus on working capital now, in these particularly difficult economic times.
If you are interested in a hard copy version of the full study, please fill in the form below.

Ready for a little spring eye candy? I almost fell out of my chair when I came across this absolutely adorable 'recycled chic' backyard party. I'm loving the idea of a *sweet* celebration for the coming months!
A vintage candy & cakes theme would work just as well for a shower, a wedding or even Easter.
Style Me Pretty shares this lovely photoshoot, complete with colorful poms, a delicious dessert table (make that the most adorable bookshelf you've ever seen!) and vintage place settings. I'm head-over-heels in love with every detail.
I can't decide which perfect little piece of this party I like best. Is it the mis-matched paper prints (on the signs, as drawer liners, the background for the cake table, as place mats…) or the amazing floral designs (did you see that tablescape up top??) or the mouth-watering desserts!
More delicious photos – including the invitations, adorable handmade pillows and petite cakes – after the jump!…

I was in the mood for some Chinese and saw that this place had good reviews. Erroneous on all accounts. Ordered house special lo mein and for my friend orange chicken. Food was bland and didn't taste fresh. I mean it was day old fried rice! Never order from here again.

Not good. I ordered the General Tso's Chicken. It was almost sweet and sour chicken, but even then, it didn't taste right at all. I also ordered the lo mein. That was actually very tasty. However, the food quality isn't great at all. I had to throw most of the food away.

Good standard Chinese. Time it takes to arrive varies, though, from super fast to way too long. The spare ribs are among the best in the city.

KOH 2015 Research Grants
During its 14 year history, KOH has awarded over $2.6 million for ovarian cancer research. The Morristown-based organization continues its commitment to seeking better treatment options, early detection, and ultimately a cure for this disease by seeking out proposals from world class scientists exploring cutting edge therapies. Ovarian cancer remains the most deadly of all gynecological cancers, and most cases are diagnosed in late stage disease when treatment is far more difficult, and mortality rates are highest. This year's finalists have been drawn from institutions across the United States
Award decisions will be announced in the next few months by the KOH Scientific Advisory Committee, which is comprised of distinguished scientists in the ovarian cancer research community.

New Genetic link to lethal ovarian cancer has potentially been identified
Aggressive Ovarian Cancer May Be Caused by a Single Gene MutationBy Jim Stallard, MA, Writer/Editor | Tuesday, April 1, 2014
Memorial Sloan Kettering researchers have identified a genetic mutation that appears to cause a rare but very aggressive type of ovarian cancer in young women. The discovery could be an important step toward developing the first effective treatments for the disease, called small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT). Funded initially by a charitable organization, the research is also an example of the powerful effect philanthropy can have on rare diseases.
"There are many examples of women in their late teens or early 20s dying quickly from this disease," says gynecologic oncologist Douglas Levine, who led the research. "The median age at diagnosis is 23, and they usually die within two years — it's devastating. Finding the cause and a possible target could be a major advance because current therapies have very little effect."
....Using human cancer cells, Dr. Levine and colleagues then demonstrated that SMARCA4 plays a functional role in promoting or blocking cancer growth. Inactivating SMARCA4 increased cancer growth, while boosting its expression slowed it down. This buttresses the theory that the SMARCA4 mutation is key to the rare disease.
"I don't know of many cancers where there's one gene that is universally mutated and seems to be driving the disease," Dr. Levine says. "One of our next steps will be to investigate whether this one mutation is actually sufficient to transform any type of ovarian cell into a cancer cell, or whether other factors are involved."

Dogs help sniff out ovarian cancer in Pennsylvannia Study
Nov 18, 2013 KOH visited Penn Vet Working Dog facility. They watched as three dogs were being trained to pick out the ovarian cancer tissue sample.
KOH provided a grant to help fund this research.
In this Thursday, Aug. 1, 2013 photo, Jonathan Ball practices with Tsunami in the first round of training for a study that will eventually involve detecting cancerous tissue at Penn Vet Working Dog Center in Philadelphia.
Researchers trying to develop a diagnostic tool for ovarian cancer are hoping dogs' keen sense of smell will lead them down the right path.
An early detection device that combines old-fashioned olfactory skills, chemical analysis and modern technology could lead to better survival rates for the disease, which is particularly deadly because it's often not caught until an advanced stage.
The ovarian cancer detection study is being funded by an $80,000 grant from the Madison, N.J.-based Kaleidoscope of Hope Foundation

Fifteen Years of Passionate Activism!
The Kaleidoscope of Hope Foundation (KOH) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that raises funds and acts as the primary advocate for ovarian cancer activism in the New Jersey area. KOH was founded in 2000 by three ovarian cancer survivors who turned their experiences with ovarian cancer into passionate activism.
The hope in Kaleidoscope of Hope represents the difference that early diagnostic tests or disease-specific therapy can make in the lives of women and their families.
Since 2000, the Kaleidoscope of Hope Foundation has raised and awarded over $2.7 million to help fund research for early detection and new treatment options.
With a little bit of hope and your help, we can boost the survival rates of women affected by ovarian cancer and change lives. Learn more about KOH.
KOH is looking for men and women volunteers to help in the following areas:
- Identify and write grants
- Computer, social networking skills
- Event Planning
- Fundraising activities

TheImagine Neo-Paris, 2084. Personal memories are now digitised, bought, sold and traded like commodities. The last vestiges of privacy and intimacy have been extinguished in what feels like a logical progression of the explosive growth of social networks at the start of the 21st century. The citizens themselves have given in to this surveillance society in exchange for the comfort only smart technology can provide. This memory economy transfers immense power over society to just a small group of people. Remember Me is a third-person action adventure in which players assume the role of Nilin, a former elite memory hunter with the ability to penetrate people's minds and steal or even alter their memories. The authorities, fearful of her knowledge and skills arrested Nilin and wiped away her memory. After her escape from prison, Nilin embarks on a mission to recover her identity, helped by her last and only friend. This search for her past leads to her being hunted by the very people that created this surveillance society.… Expand

Jun 5, 2013It's one of the games that got me excited because its story is intertwined with the gameplay and with a philosophical view on our reality. Highly suggested for people that enjoy stories in any form. [June 2013]
Jun 6, 2013You get a fascinating vision of the future, in which you have to fill a few gaps yourself, if you don´t want to fall into its holes. But at the core it is a very solid story, entertaining, with a few fresh ideas – something that can't be said about every work in this genre – and would not have been misplaced in one of the books by Gibson/Sterling. As it is, I experienced Remember Me first as this story and only second as a game of decent climbing-passages and solid brawling, which I enjoyed more as a nice form of diversion.
Jun 3, 2013In general terms, Remember Me works, but it's extremely easy and the new ideas and mechanics don't offer a remarkable addition. We would love to have a sequel in which all these issues are polished and fixed because the universe Dontnod has created is full of possibilities.
Jun 13, 2013Overall, Remember Me is just another graduate of Luc Besson's Style Over Substance Academy. It looks amazing and manages to be convincing in minor cutscenes, but the issues it raises are handled superficially and every problem is ultimately solved through violence.
Jun 14, 2013A society with lost privacy is doomed. Unfortunately, this poetic message is not enough to make an entertaining game. Remember Me needs one more instalment to enhance its gameplay.
Jul 9, 2013A game with great potential, great setting and great music. However, it's knocked down by its incomplete implementation of the original ideas and its frustrating battle system. [Issue#231]

Jun 7, 2013*UPDATE!
Four days ago I eagerly awaited the release game, and now that it is over I can say without any reserve that this is a game you DO*UPDATE!
Four days ago I eagerly awaited the release game, and now that it is over I can say without any reserve that this is a game you DO NOT WANT TO MISS. I'll put the ending first for those who don't want to read my entire discourse. I rate "Remember me" as an 8/10, however I've decided to keep my official score as a 10 to help tip the scales. The simple fact is that as valuable as metacritic is, these scores can be the life or death of a game. The same way they can destroy or make a movie, or actor on stage. How many people will skip this game, simply because its not an 8 or higher? "Remember Me" is well crafted, it deserves to be played. DONTNOD Entertainment deserves whatever profits they can get, hopefully enough to encourage more games if not a sequel, which I personally would like to see.
So what games can I compare to "Remember me" to? In my opinion it plays like an assassin's creed warped in a deus ex with a twist (Memories rather than augmentations) The story? Fantastic! Not as good as AC2, or bioshock 1, but better than the ends of either Farcry 3, or deus ex. The combat system was one of genius; and quite frankly something I've been waiting a long time to see. It does have its downfalls eg. the boss battles are repetitive, but unlike AC once I learned this combat system there was never a moment where I had to get my bearings, where combat was too fast, or I was too surrounded. When you add that I was able to, with some restrictions, mold the combos it really puts the player in the action. I stopped worrying about which button at which time and simply enjoyed the game.
Graphics in "Remember me" are a delight to behold. When my computer reported that the game was running in 32bit, and directX 9 I didn't want to believe it. Of course thats the beauty of the unreal engine, from the moment I saw they used it I knew I'd like the game. I do wish they'd used directX 11, I do understand why they didn't but 11 has been out for a while now, and with top end graphic cards now costing half a grand for a single unit.
About the linear qualities of the game. I really do feel this was ultimately the downfall of "Remember Me", and it is why I rate it at 8/10. Below I did list some bugs I experienced, but these were all a minor inconvenience, and could be either limited to my computer or fixed with a patch. Many of the story elements of this game depended on it being linear, I understand that and enjoyed the story. However I believe that there was a lot of wasted potential, especially with the memory remixes in which I wish there was more of. Again I look forward to a sequel.
Errors in "remember me" include: 1) a few subtitle errors, 2) what appear to be some graphical glitches, like a bird stuck in place, and falling through the floor twice. One level appeared all red till I reloaded. 3) The camera is not completely free, it does fight you quite a bit in certain areas.
END OF UPDATE (Original post below)
I would like to start by stating that I am not an avid video game reviewer, and in fact this is the first I've posting on this website. However, I do like many users look at metacritic scores to "tip the scales" when it comes to buy and judging games. I like many that have already posted, am trying to stop this game from dying before/at release, due to negative/low score. I have only just started this game, and will edit both my score and review later.
To start: The game runs smooth and so far flawless on my system with AMD FX6150, and ATI 6950HD. The music and sounds along with the animation in the menu immediately draw you in. It is clear in just starting it up, like hitman: absolution main menu, that some love went into crafting this game. Options for graphical changes were limited, but in no way hindered either my system, or (from what I can tell) the game in running smoothly.
Upon starting the intro the game loaded extremely fast especially for an HDD, the beginning immediately drew me into the story, my favorite part, and I once again I note care in the games design by a immersive sounds, lighting, sound effects, and small added details to the character's & NPCs clothing, and level design.
This is about as far as I can go so far, but If you read this, I urge you not to go by the current score. I will update this post as I continue to play the game. I am giving it a 10 atm to help balance until I can determine a fair score.… Expand

Most critic reviews have complained about the game being 'linear' and having a 'constricted; level design; both, while true, are in no way a deciding factor in whether a game is good or not; heck Bioshock Infinite was linear and yet is probably one of the best games of this decade.
Remember me has a memorable setting and lead; an excellent soundtrack, an intuitive combat system and most importantly is not another 'me too' FPS/TPS with guns and bulky dudes. It also is NOT an easy game, we seem to get more and more of those these days as all games try to tend to a larger audience.
The visuals in particular are breathtaking, particularly on the PC with Supersampling ON.

I generally play multiplayer games i.e. Battlefield 3, but we all know that those types of games are made mainly for the multiplayer, leaving the campaign pretty poor. Remember Me went for an all-out campaign game and it shows. This is a very detailed game and the team that put this together did an astonishing job. The music, sound effects, the neo look are all great, but the story in this game is outstanding. The story behind Nilin will suck you in and you will look forward to when you can continue the journey in getting your memory back each time you have to quit the game.
As others have said you set up your combo moves which at first your hands will hurt just getting the combos pulled off. Once you get used to it it will be a little more fluid as the game notifies you when you have to hit either "Y" or "X" depending on whether your set up is for damage, self-healing, or cool down. Some enemies are tougher than others and at the end of Episode 2 I actually had to change the difficulty to the lowest setting to defeat the boss. That's another plus, being able to change the difficulty in order to prevent you from getting frustrated. Again, the story is so good that you will want to beat the heck out of foes in order to find out what's next.
If you are looking for a multiplayer game then pass on this one. If you are looking for a very solid campaign game that just sucks you in then do yourself a favor and pick this game up. Although, this game may be overlooked as I would have missed it if it wasn't for a recommendation from Amazon. I'm really glad this game found me and I think you will too.… Expand

On the other side it could benefit from the better fighting with more strategic ideas in it not just a hysteric left-right mouse buttons pressing added by the space bar and WASD keys... You know, to have a feeling you were smart at the end of the fighting scene, not just that you have quick fingers. After 11 hours of play still do not understand combos what to use and how.

New Zealand Post Group has recorded a loss for the year ended 30 June 2011 due to a number of adverse impacts over the past 12 months.
New Zealand Post's mail deliveries are back to normal today, after widespread disruptions earlier this week caused by heavy snowfall across much of the country.
Postal services are returning to normal in most parts of the country today, after two days of reduced services during the current "50 year" snow storms.
Snow and ice have disrupted mail deliveries for a second day running across significant parts of the country.
Heavy snow during the past 24 hours has forced delays in mail deliveries across a broad swathe of the country, New Zealand Post spokesman Michael Tull confirmed this morning.
New Zealand Post is pleased to be supporting a programme which will see thousands of free books delivered to a wide array of communities across the country – in aid of promoting literacy.
It's been an unofficial Kiwi anthem for 44 years – but only now has it received official recognition as a true Kiwi icon.
New Zealand Post is working closely with police as they investigate an apparent arson attack on a street receiver (a mailbox where the public posts letters) outside the Invercargill North PostShop.

As Shakespeare would say, "Sharper than a serpent's tooth, a thankless child."
Fifteen-year-old rap wunderkind Astro survived Thursday's edition of The X Factor, but not without a dollop of controversy — which you can see in the video on RadarOnline.com.
Winding up in the bottom two against Stacy Francis, Astro was irked, telling the crowd, "I really don't wanna perform. I feel like it's unnecessary," before turning to his mentor, L.A. Reid, asking him, "Do you think I should perform?" which Reid politely encouraged.

Simon Cowell, understandably, wasn't so gracious.
"I don't like your attitude right now," he told the teen. "Look at me, and think about your mum watching the show. Because you are showing disrespect to your mom. You are showing disrespect to the audience at home, and I don't like people with this attitude."
Astro said in response, "No disrespect to you or this show, but I just feel like if you're going to put me in the bottom two, I don't want to perform for people who don't want me here, you know what I'm saying? That's it."
The audience then turned on the young lyricist, booing him, as tears streamed down his face; still he survived the week's cut, as soulful songstress Stacy Francis was sent home instead.
Rihanna was a special guest on the show and performed her new single We Found Love.
Do you think Astro's attitude will send him packing next week, or that his talent will push him through? Leave your comments below…

Five SEO tactics that have a chance of getting through the various legal and regulatory reviews in the pharmaceutical space.
In a previous column, I wrote about how pharmaceutical companies are behind the curve with their SEO efforts. And while I certainly don't want this column to focus too heavily on one industry, I did want to wrap up the discussion by describing some SEO tactics that actually have a chance of getting through the various legal and regulatory reviews that are typical of the pharmaceutical space.
Content Expansion
Admittedly, most product teams turn this one down such that the acceptance rate is about 10 percent. Still, that's actually pretty good given just how many recommendations will typically be rejected. When my clients have accepted the idea of expanding content on the site to target additional relevant keywords, they have required two things:
Content Authoring and Distribution
Not one pharmaceutical company to which I've proposed the idea of content authoring and distribution has accepted the idea. I've had some agree to the concept, but they rejected the effort that would be needed to get such content written, reviewed, and approved.
Where I have had some success is with having someone else, with pharmaceutical experience, write the content. The biggest stumbling block then was the need to keep branded display ads from appearing beside any of these unbranded articles. Quite doable, but your best bet is to get this sort of effort going when there aren't any active display campaigns.
Keyword-Rich Internal Links
Internal links are underused in this space. Most of the time designers and the product folks rely on the main navigation to provide the necessary linking. And when the pages are short, the navigation is probably as good as you're going to get. If you're working with longer pages that include keywords of interest, there's an SEO benefit from turning these keywords into links to other pages on the site. As a concept, I get near 100 percent approval of this tactic, but of course some of the actual link suggestions are rejected.
Links From Other Owned Sites
Limited Outreach
Relevant, high-quality links are hard to come by, but they're also worth the effort. I've found that the traditional outreach approach requires a few more constraints on the pharmaceutical side to pass the approval phase. The end result of all of the constraints is that the only valid targets to reach out to are resource lists - pages listing a bunch of sites each with a title and short description, all of which are usually categorized. The resource list must also not imply too much. For example, if the section on the page is labeled with the word "Cure" but the product doesn't actually cure, then it won't get a go-ahead.
SEO for pharmaceutical sites can be frustrating. Whereas our fellow SEOs in other industries are working diligently to come up with creative ideas to push the organic search performance of the sites they work on, pharmaceutical SEOs need to focus more on taking traditional tactics and coming up with creative ways to tweak them to make them compliant. It's not an easy job, but someone's got to do it!

Construction of port suspended for a day as a mark of respect to the fisherman killed in police firing
Villagers allege that they were not consulted on the decision to hold the grama sabhaFishermen do not allow officials to conduct a fresh survey on villagers affected by the portTop district officials visit Gangavaram
VISAKHAPATNAM: The district administration's attempts to hold a gram sabha at Gangavaram near here failed on Thursday with the fisher folk boycotting it even as the construction work of the Gangavaram port was suspended for the day as a mark of respect to Ch. Nookaraju, the fisherman killed in police firing on March 27.
Decision unchanged
Though the officials announced on Wednesday to hold a grama sabha and resurvey of people affected by the private port project in their village, the Gangavaram Matsyakarula Aikya Vedika (GMAV) stuck to its decision of not attending it.
The fishermen did not allow the officials to conduct a fresh survey on villagers affected by the port being set up by Gangavaram Ports Limited (GPL) - at a cost of Rs. 2,000 crores.
Minister for Commercial Taxes Konathala Ramakrishna, after visiting Gangavaram on Wednesday told the villagers that the Government had asked the port management to suspend construction work for a day as a mark of respect to Nookaraju.
The GPL is a company set up by D.V.S. Raju and Consortium and Dubai Port International. Five berths are scheduled to be commissioned by December 2007, as part of the first phase.

The VPLP architects, together with Lagoon and the world renown Nauta Yachts design office succeeded beautifully however with the development of the new Lagoon 450.
Of course, the irreplaceable qualities of the Lagoon 440 have been retained as a starting point: a steering station on the fly bridge accessible from both sides of the cockpit, a forward cockpit, performance under sail…and an incomparable comfort in the saloon and the cabins.
Larger and with a bigger sail area, the Lagoon 450 also benefits from important improvements.
In terms of safety, performance and cruising comfort: the aft transoms are better protected for easy boarding from a tender, the cockpit is larger and the access to the steering station has also been made easier... and the sunbathing area on the fly bridge is something unseen on a catamaran this size yet.
Inside the boat, the Nauta Yachts design team has brilliantly associated a perfect use of space with an outstanding elegance throughout, with an optional choice of a blond teak finish now available.
