Billy Bernacchia's team wins the CSP Brasil
Any trip that starts with a first class upgrade on a ten-hour flight to Brasil is certainly a good start. I knew it was going to be a great trip, but then again when isn't going to South America a good time… My team started off well by winning three of our four preliminary matches (4-0) and tied the other (2-2). This put us tied for first with Mercenarios and allowed us to move on to the next round of the tournament.
We drew the Jungle Boyz in the semifinals, who were playing at a high level during the prelims. My team ended up beating them by a single point in an extremely tough match! From there we moved on to the finals in a matchup against the home team Mercenarios. They had my good friend Ryan Greenspan guesting with them and I knew it was going to be a great game. It turned out to be an epic battle that we barely won in overtime. This gave us the well-deserved win and the first place hardware.
South American teams have been steadily improving and stepping up there game, which made this win very difficult. I just want to give a shout out to Dye for my wonderfully reliable NT that shot amazing all event! Also I would like to compliment the Jungle Boyz who gave us such strong competition and then of course the Mercenarios!
Hope to see you all in Chile!!!

ZIMBABWE'S only representative in the CAF Champions League, Dynamos, was by last night struggling to finalise the squad for this year's edition of the tournament.
The deadline for CAF registration was 12 mid-night, but the team was still to finalise their final squad by 8 o'clock. The team's secretary general Raymond Kazembe said they were still negotiating with the bulk of the players and their respective clubs.
"That is what we are currently in the middle of negotiating with other clubs. I think we will have finished by 9 o'clock," he said.
However, a source close to the negotiations revealed that the club was having problems with other clubs over their players.
Most Dynamos players such as Soccer star of the Year Denver Mukamba and Devon Chafa have their contracts expiring on December 31 and had to negotiate for new contracts.
Their handler Gibson Mahachi allayed fears that the duo might not sign."Dynamos will certainly retain Chafa and Mukamba and there will be no problem even if they register them but we are just negotiating for new contracts," he said.
According to sources, Dynamos have included on their list FC Platinum striker Donald Ngoma
They were however, believed to have sealed the deals of goalkeeper Artwell Mukandi and Steven Alimenda, Chicken Inn's Sydney Linyama and Francisco Zikumbawere of Hwange.
Meanwhile, Dynamos chairman Keni Mubaiwa was on Friday night turned away from the Soccer Star of the Year awards night after turning up for the banquet casually dressed.
Mubaiwa was among several people who were barred from attending the "strictly formal" awards held at a Harare hotel.
The Dynamos boss arrived when guests were already seated in the auditorium but was blocked at the entrance where he spent about 30 minutes trying to negotiate his way in.
Clad in a blue coat, pair of jean trousers, a blue shirt, a boston hat and farmer shoes, Mubaiwa claimed he had not read the instruction on the invitation card stating formal wear.
"I did not notice that formal wear is required here. I was coming from out of town and passed by my office where I just picked my invite and rushed here," Mubaiwa explained to the ushers and security manning the entrance.
Even the intervention of some Premier Soccer League officials and event organisers could not help.

An initiative of the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius and the Observer Research Foundation
The Asian Forum on Global Governance is an annual workshop jointly organized by the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius, and the Observer Research Foundation.
This year's Asian Forum is scheduled to take place from October 25 - November 3, 2015 in New Delhi, India. The nomination and application process commences from March 15 and the last date for submission of applications is June 1, 2015.
The Asian Forum on Global Governance will take a close look at the Asian region and at the challenges facing the global community. The primary objective of this forum is to provide an instructional and networking platform for young professional leaders to discuss, debate and challenge conventional interpretations of the existing complex realities confronting communities and leaders. The program provides a unique opportunity for them to confer with high-ranking figures from the political, business and academic communities from around the globe, and especially from Asia.
Though the emphasis is on Asia, there will be a fair mix of young leaders from Europe, Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia. The participants will be drawn from diverse sectors and streams of study. Each of these participants will, at the outset, be nominated by senior figures – Heads of Governments, Ministries and Government Departments, the CEO's of major National and Multinational Companies, Heads of Universities and of Non-Profit Organizations – and thereafter carefully selected by an eminent jury of experts.
The participants will be between 28 and 35 years of age. They would have acquired significant professional experience and would already exhibit promise at work.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By JANE BAINBRIDGE, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Thursday, 27 March 1997 12:00AM
Britvic is starting its next wave of marketing, relaunching and
expanding Still Tango and taking Orange Tango back on to television for
the first time since 1995.
The company, which has doubled its ad spend to pounds 9m this year, will
spend pounds 3m on a TV campaign created by HHCL & Partners.
The new campaign will take advantage of the election and urge people to
vote for Orange Tango.
The brand will feature in the first commercial break on Channel 5 on
March 30. The campaign adopts Tango's typical tongue-in-cheek approach,
claiming Orange is the original and best and it is unhappy with the
flavours which it considers to be new pretenders to the throne.
David Atter, marketing manager for Tango, said the strategy will ensure
that, outside the cola market, Tango is the first choice of
It has concentrated advertising on the other flavours over the past year
and now wants to focus on Orange. He said the company has adopted an
18-month cycle with the flavours, in terms of TV advertising. In May,
Tango plans to relaunch its 'Still' variety and expand from just Orange
to include the Lemon, Blackcurrant and Apple flavours.
The product has been reformulated to include more fruit juice and the
bottles have been redesigned by Wickens Tutt Southgate. It will be
advertised on TV later in the year.
Atter said Tango is looking to add a mass-scale brand to the somewhat
niche 'natural drink' category. This sector is considered to offer
excellent growth opportunities, especially beyond the original carton
To build multi-pack sales, Tango will put one million 'Jammy Cash Cards'
in the packs, giving customers a chance to win money from a pounds
100,000 prize fund.
The cards contain a number for the 'Tango Bank' and callers get three
chances to guess the PIN and draw up to pounds 250 a day from the Tango
Britvic announced last year it was planning to invest pounds 124m in the
brand to enable it to take Tango to the size of Pepsi by 2001.

Bob Duggan frequently refers to "our national disease-care system" when he talks about his new book, employing a term he has used across his 40-plus years as a healing-arts clinician and educator.
As co-founder and former president of Tai Sophia Institute, a North Laurel graduate school of complementary medicine, wellness-based education and research, he believes that labeling our current system "health care" is a gigantic misnomer — and a point of national disgrace.
In "Breaking the Iron Triangle: Reducing Health-Care Costs in Corporate America," Duggan offers a vision of a sustainable, wellness-based future in which corporations and entrepreneurs are able to slash rising health-care costs by investing in programs that focus on wellness instead of disease.
"We are spending fortunes and still not giving quality health care, and 40 million people have no access [to care] at all," he said. "There would be no 'fiscal cliff' if unnecessary health-care expenses were eliminated."
To bolster that argument, he quotes estimates that $1.2 trillion of the country's annual health-care expenditures could be avoided if individuals made common-sense lifestyle changes.
The Owen Brown resident retired from Tai Sophia two years ago in part, he said, because he had turned 70, and "new blood is a good thing."
Now 73, he works as a consultant at Wisdom Well, an acupuncture and wellness clinic in Columbia founded by his daughter, Jade Connelly-Duggan.
But his other priority in switching professional gears was gaining more time to write on a topic he's been confronting and contemplating for so long.
Imagine a health-care triangle with the values of cost, access and quality assigned to its three corners. What makes dealing with the triangle a conundrum is three-fold: Cutting costs means rationing access or reducing quality; increasing access to the uninsured means increasing costs or reducing quality; and increasing quality means adding costs or rationing access, he writes.
On the opening page of the 222-page hardcover edition published in July by Wisdom Well Press, Duggan brands all these scenarios "impossible."
"What is possible for us as a nation?" he asks, offering up observations in his book, which focuses on how the United States can avoid financial bankruptcy from uncontrolled medical expenditures.
"Life expectancy in the United States is ranked 50th in the world, below most developed nations and some developing nations," he said, attributing his statement to data published on the CIA World Factbook website.
Yet in 2009, U.S. federal, state and local governments, corporations and individuals together spent $2.5 trillion, or $8,047 per person, on health care, he writes, quoting National Health Expenditures 2009 Highlights.
"We must turn the medical conversation away from a war on disease and fear of our bodies, and expand our focus on learning and understanding ways of living well," he writes.
Duggan has his share of followers in Howard County, among them Peter Beilenson, who stepped down in October after nearly six years as the county's health officer.
Beilenson calls Duggan "a visionary fellow who is often ahead of his time."
"Bob has been talking to me about integrative medicine since I was a young health officer," said Beilenson, who helped create Healthy Howard, a program that helps county residents gain access to affordable, quality health care.
He resigned his county post to become CEO of Evergreen Health Cooperative, a fledgling nonprofit health insurance provider that will be offered statewide in October.
"Integrative medicine is still a little bit 'out there,' but not like it was 15 or 20 years ago," Beilenson said. "Clearly, [an emphasis on wellness] is the way health care is going, and that's long overdue."
Duggan said the concept of wellness coaches, which is part of the Healthy Howard plan, can keep people from the using the hospital inappropriately.

THE Zimbabwe School Examinations Council has withheld some results for 2012 Ordinary and Advanced Level examinations for several schools amid suspicion that candidates cheated, especially during practicals.
For A Level, the examination body raised queries on Chemistry results for several schools.
The practicals, which are Paper 2 and 3, are done at the schools and it is suspected teachers could have assisted pupils.
The move has dealt hundreds of students who intended to apply for the March intake at various universities a blow.
This comes as several other examination centres have not received results in one or two subjects in the Ordinary Level results released this week.
Sources said the results were withheld for alleged malpractice.
A-Level Chemistry candidates who sat for the examination at centres like Kriste Mambo in Rusape and Zimuto High School in Masvingo are yet to get their results, two weeks after their release. Examiners are called at various examination centres to assess the practicals candidates would have done before they submit the marks to Zimsec.
Zimsec director Mr Esau Nhandara yesterday confirmed that results for some schools had been withheld.
He cited cases of Kriste Mambo and Zimuto, although sources within the examinations body said several schools had been affected.
"It is true that Zimsec withheld results for Kriste Mambo and Zimuto High Schools," he said.
"The technicality is premised on the practical component of the paper."
He said Zimsec was investigating the cases. "If Zimsec is investigating cases on examinations, revealing the progress to the public of who is involved may compromise the whole process," Mr Nhandara said.
"Individual centres are aware of our position, hence the candidates should ask their respective centre heads and not the media.
"All we are doing is trying to protect the integrity of the certificate. Regrettably in the process, some candidates are inconvenienced."
Mr Nhandara confirmed that some schools had failed to get results in one or two subjects.
"The same reason applied to Ordinary Level centres that have not received results in some subjects and candidates are therefore assured that their results will be released as soon as we are done with the above stated issue," he said. Sources said results withheld for O-Level were mainly for science-related subjects.
Parents whose children failed to collect the result said they were being inconvenienced without a satisfactory explanation from school authorities.
"Some local universities are at the moment accepting applications for the March intake and how are our children going to proceed without the results," said Mr Roy Runesu.

Okaloosa County has resolved 19 of the 25 findings contained in the state's 2013 audit of county oversight of the Tourist Development Council and its use of bed tax money.
The remaining seven findings – which fall into the areas of risk assessment, credit cards for fuel and appropriate use of bed tax funds – are being fixed on an ongoing basis pending litigation as well as rewrites of county policies.
That information was shared with county commissioners Tuesday by Sam Scallan, the Clerk of Court's new internal auditor.
"The changes made have improved internal controls in all areas of the county," Scallan said. "And I think that's an important point."
Scallan recently completed an internal audit of the county's and the Clerk of Court's response to the state audit. The state audit followed the county's May 2012 discovery of an extensive fraud scheme put in place by former tourism head Mark Bellinger.
Commissioner Nathan Boyles praised Scallan and Clerk of Court Don Howard for the work they've done and said righting the mistakes of the past must be a collaborative effort.
"This has been a long road, but we continue to make good progress," he said.
The improvements the county has made to its financial controls include:
- A policy that requires two people to complete a wire transfer;
- Closer scrutiny of the budget process;
- A whistleblower policy;
- A fraud response plan;
- Cementing the TDC's role as solely advisory and
- Better awareness for potential conflicts of interest.

Kenya Defence Forces troops have began pulling out of Kismayu and are moving towards the North of the Port city to remove al Shabaab militants occupying some areas.
Soldiers from Djibouti and Sierra Leone will now provide security at Kismayu with Nigerian Police unit providing policing services. The move comes after the African Union Mission in Somalia carved out Kismayu into Amisom's sector 5, to be under the command of Sierra Leone and Djibouti army.
KDF will now solely operate in Sector 2 where it is expected to engage the remnants of the al Shabaab militia in Southern Somalia, which are yet to be liberated from the al Qaeda-linked terrorists group.
"KDF will, however, keep one company in Kismayu," a senior KDF source said yesterday. In an AMISOM meeting with troop contributing countries held last week, it was resolved that Kenya moves further upward to weed out the insurgents.
United Nations Security Council recently resolved to increase the number of troops in Somalia by more than 4,000 from the Ethiopian Defence Forces to take over another sector.

Is open source getting to Microsoft?

Is Microsoft playing well with others?April 7, 2006
Microsoft learns to live with open sourceJuly 11, 2005
(continued from previous page)
The current Open Specification Promise does not specifically cover CardSpace, formerly called InfoCard. But the promise not to assert patents could be extended from current Web services standards, said Michael Jones, Microsoft's director of distributed systems customer strategy and evangelism.
"Licensing additional specifications under these same terms should be much easier to do at this point, but I obviously can't make public commitments yet beyond those we already have buy-off on," Jones said on a discussion group at OSIS, the open-source identity selector project.
Old concerns
Web services standards are authored by several vendors, often including Microsoft and IBM, and are built into products from many vendors.
IBM lauded the move in a statement on Wednesday. "We've provided open-source friendly licenses for Web services specifications and have made non-assert commitments for a broad set of open-source projects including Linux," said Karla Norsworthy, vice president for software standards at IBM.
Web services specifications are standardized in the World Wide Web Consortium and in the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards. Both bodies allow people to license standards either royalty-free or on so-called RAND terms (reasonable and non-discriminatory terms).
But Microsoft's Open Specification Promise goes a bit further. It means that developers at Apache projects, for example, no longer have to worry about Microsoft asserting Web services patents down the road, said Apache's Schmidt.
Similarly, Rosen said that the "OSP is compatible with free and open-source licenses."
That clarity is a far cry from the early days of Web services, which took shape around 2000, when Microsoft and IBM teamed with others to improve system interoperability using XML-based protocols.
Lingering concerns remained among outside developers and were points of dispute in some Web services standardization efforts.
In 2000, Anne Thomas Manes was the chief technology officer of a Web services start-up called Systinet. The venture capitalist backers of the company were nervous that implementing these newly published specifications, created by other companies, could lead to lawsuits down the road, she said.
Until now, there was still a "niggling concern" that Microsoft would sue people. Back in 2000, Systinet decided to accept the risk of creating software based on specifications created by others, even though they did not have a license, she said.
"We went ahead and did it anyway despite the risk, because we were of the impression that Microsoft and IBM really wanted people to implement it," she said.

I've ported a lot of Unix code to Windows in my day. In most cases, it was just a matter of recompiling the Unix code in Windows with minimal adjustments. In fact I had more work to do when porting Unix code from one vendor (Solaris) to another (HP-UX) then to Windows.

- doubt it
- Microsoft has no interest in joining the "community." If IBM agreed not to sue over use of its web service specifications, then its implementation will be more widespread than Microsoft's. If current and future MS technology is based on the MS specification, then they need to increase usage and compete against IBM. the goal, obviously.. which will be missed by nearly every pro-oss person out here, is to further their implementation of web services.

- MS being generous?
- Well, given the fact that 100% of all software patents are bogus, maybe MS is tired of being on the wrong end of patent litigation and are realizing that every single item in their patent portfolio is uneforceable.
Perhaps not.
Just do not think that MS is starting to be more friendly towards open source. MS has never been friendly to direct competitors. They have spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to stop open source through misinformation campaigns and funding other companies through unfounded lawsuits.
The only way MS will start playing fair is when incompetants like Gates and Balmer leave and people with a clue take over.
Perhaps Balmer and co are realizing how inconsequential Microsoft has become, and are trying to join the 21st century. I would not bet on that though.

- OpenSourceSoftware and FreeWare are like Dr Who's "Tardis". It's much bigger once you're inside. In fact, the more I look around this OSS world the bigger and bigger it gets. I think Microsoft knows it too. Luckily for them (for the moment) most consumers don't understand OSS, so misstrust it. I don't need to explain how OSS is as good, if not better than most retail software, and once enough people realise that and become comfortable with it people will feel foolish about having payed for it for so long.
In the future we won't be paying for software because there will be 1,000's more people writing it for free, for the same reasons they do it now, and the Internet has been the Catalyst in bringing it to your desktop - no marketing costs, no supply chains. Enjoy.
I've been saying to people lately ... "The big software companies are the only ones more amazed than me that you still pay for software".
One thing you have to say about MicroSoft is they make good decisions. They built their monopoly on them and rightly screwed us for every spare software cent we had. The monopoly is crumbling and I beleive they will market themselves more and more on how they are the good guys and how they are joining the OSS revolution ... the one they couldn't crush.
Least we forget.

Linux needs to match this atelast to have a chance competing.

- Disingenuous Thugs: Their IP is Unassertable!
- The reason MS is allegedly making nice is because they know their alleged IP is completely unassertable. Not only are their patents and claims largely spurious, they know that the moment they sued anyone, they'd be torn to shreds by hundreds of suits against them all a firestorm of assaults against their alleged IP. MS has been losing IP suits in the past couple of years, you might notice.
Ballmer might as tell the EU that he won't sue the union for using the metric system. "You know, you people, MS has had the metric system included in Excel for close to a decade WITHOUT ONCE ASKING FOR ROYALTIES," he would say before being laughed out of the room.
CNET really needs to look coldly at the claims of this vendor. Follow-up story idea: call 30 intellectual property attorneys and ask them, hey, professor what *would* happen if MS actually tried to assert the IP it claims it is giving away to the world.
Once you have the answer to that - and I think anyone with a heartbeat would know - you can move onto murkier questions, like what are these grinning hyenas up to with this tactic.

"If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." A famous quote used by Isaac Newton to explain how his knowledge and discoveries was built on prvevious works.
I believe nearly all work done in the software field is just incremental steps on top of work done before. It has more to do with a natural selection of ideas or code that work better or fills a niche, than it does with real intellegence, and I'm not saying programmers are dumb, it's just the way programming is. That's why the open source environment is so conducive to creating great software. It allows all these ideas (program code) to fly around multiply, mutate, fail, improve, until you have the best result at any given time. The scale of the opensource community means the above procces is running at a very healthy pace. It's why Firefox leaped ahead of IE in usability seemingly out of nowhere and is gaining popularity even though it needs to be downloaded and installed on Windows where'as IE is bundled with Windows and can't be uninstalled.
The article states:-
"To be sure, Microsoft, which spends more than $6 billion a year on research and development, remains committed to generating proprietary intellectual property."
That's a hell of a lot of "alleged" IP! I wish they would use some of it in their software. :-)
May I suggest Microsofts' IP standards are something like this:-
CompanyX comes up with the idea that 1+1+2=4. Microsoft comes up with the idea that 2+2=4. Then claim it as IP and probably buy out CompanyX anyway because they found a solution to 4 before they did.
I'll leave you with another quote:-
"It all make perfect sense, expressed in dollars and pence"

In addition to all of the things we love about New England, our fair corner of the country features some wonderful local skin care lines. So many, in fact, that we will feature them in two parts. Below, lets partake in all that local purveyors have to offer.
I asked each company where they're based, their signature product and/or their best seller, and what makes them so special!
Soy of Life is based in Plymouth, MA. Sherry and Rich Kelly created their skin care line due to Sherry's allergic reactions. They began selling their products at the Cohasset Farmers Market in 2006 and soon their products were sold in boutiques and in Whole Foods. Rich discusses their signature product. "I would say the Eye Promise! All-in-one Perfecting Crème is probably the signature product; it is our top selling facial product anyway. It is highly effective in fading dark circles, puffiness, lines and wrinkles and customers love it! It is followed in popularity by the Soy Young! Under Eye Therapy and then both of the face crèmes."
What makes them special? "We are the epitome of a "Mom & Pop" small family business. Sherry's burning passion to make a skincare line featuring soy grew out of her allergic reaction that is mentioned in her story on our website. Also, the reason we got into our first Whole Foods Market location was the fact that we are a local company and they liked Sherry's story of how she created it."
suki, based in Northampton, MA, is known for having celebrity fans such as Eva Longoria, Katherine Heigl, Ron Howard, Alicia Silverstone and Hayden Panettiere. suki started her company in her kitchen in 2002 and her products are sold in Whole Foods and spas all over the country and around the world. The best selling product was actually the first: suki®'s award-winning, fan favorite, Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser. It's the most popular because of the amazing results pretty much everyone - all skin types - sees immediately: smooth, dewy skin, fine lines appearance seriously relieved, blemishes reduced. This exfoliate leaves a clean, non-oily super-purified feeling without stripping or leaving skin irritated. The aroma is a huge benefit also and people always talk about it. suki wanted to create an uplifting citrus scent that wasn't too light or perfumey with some grounding elements.
They are very proud of the ideology behind suki: suki® clinically-proven natural solutions skincare is the first and only clinically-proven, 100% pure cosmeceutical line of skincare that truly blends science and nature. Each custom formula is 100% natural (no petrochemicals, synthetics, cruelty or comedogens) and blends in high-performance actives working in tandem with your body's own biological process to target skin issues, delivering up to 84% younger looking, healthier, more radiant and a clearer, more balanced complexion. suki® advocates the importance of the philosophy "know your beauty®," to define beauty on your own terms, make informed choices when it comes to your health and well-being. All formulas are made up of a blend of high-performance, clinically proven actives with 100% natural ingredients in synthetic-free bases. The cutting-edge extraction techniques enable the products to be formulated with ingredients in their most potent form and in the highest percentages possible, targeting specific skin issues at a faster, safer rate and producing immediate, visible results. The secret behind suki® is the rose (used in 99% of the brand's 100% natural & 100% synthetic-free clinically-proven products) – nature's most hydrating, healing plant. suki® meticulously infuses and triple filters fresh wild harvested rosa centifolia into a highly concentrated solution. In fact, suki® is one of the ONLY companies that doesn't simply use a water base that makes up approximately 70% of its content. suki® exercises eco-friendly practices not only throughout its formulations, but also down to the packaging, using recycled materials, renewable energy, glass bottles, post-use recyclables and vegetable inks.
Burlington, Vermont's Seventh Generation is well known for its home care products and is now branching out into personal care.
Brandi Thomas from Seventh Generation Public Relations says, "Our dish liquid continues to be a best seller. For many people, it's the gateway into green cleaning. It works fabulously and is scented with 100% botanical extracts and essential oils." She explains what makes the company special. "Seventh Generation is the nation's leading brand of household and personal care products that help protect human health and the environment. Established in 1988, our Burlington, Vermont-based company remains an independent, privately-held business distributing products to natural food stores, supermarkets, mass merchants and online retailers across the United States and Canada. We believe our products are healthy solutions for the air, surfaces, fabrics, pets and people within the home - and for the community and environment outside of it. As a pioneer in corporate responsibility, we want our products to make a difference - from their development through to their production, purchase, use and disposal. We are always evaluating how to reduce their environmental impact, increase performance and safety, and create a more sustainable supply chain.
"We believe our products set a course for a mindful way of doing business, where companies act as partners with other stakeholders to create a brighter future for the whole planet. We are committed to running a responsible business because we believe in a sustainable future. We are transparent about our successes and challenges so that others may learn from our mistakes and be inspired by our triumphs. To those who value a demonstration of the business case for sustainability, we note that we have made sustainability the foundation of our business and we are a thriving and growing business. Our deep commitment to sustainability over the years has benefitted our business by enhancing our brand reputation and, often, our bottom line."
Seventh Generation recently launched an authentically natural line of personal care products derived from plant-based formulas. The pure, plant-based formulas return skin to its most natural state by providing simply what your skin needs, and no harsh chemicals or faux benefits. The line includes facial wipes, bar soap, lotion, body wash and hand wash. The scents are derived from essential oils vs. synthetic fragrances - lavender, mandarin, chamomile and peppermint.
Susan Davis is the founder of SUZ Bath and Body. Her company is based in Boxford, MA.
Her signature product? "My signature product," says Davis, "is my handmade soap. I make lots of soap and a large variety. My soaps are known for their emollient qualities, but also for the way they look. I've been known to stretch the boundary of soap making by adding pureed pumpkin, zucchini or applesauce, and have made soaps that look like decorated cakes and cupcakes. This season's customer favorite is cranberry orange, a large bar loaded with sweet orange essential oil and with a dollop of orange and multicolored grated soaps inside and on top, finished with a sprinkling of cosmetic glitter fairy dust. I love scents and carry a wide variety of essential and phthalate-free fragrance oils and design custom scents for my soaps. Most of my soaps are fragrance oil free and scented solely with essential oils."
Her passion for the environment is what makes her company special. "I have made a personal choice to make my soaps without palm oil, due to the dwindling habitat of orangutans and the environmental and social issues from over-forestation for the cultivation of palm trees. I use olive, coconut, shea and cocoa butters, and a touch of castor oil for bubbles. I love what I do, and feel like I make a difference in people's lives by adding a bit of skin-loving soapy sudsy goodness with a visual artsy twist to their daily ritual of bathing."

Great Marsh Artisan Skincare hails from Ipswich, MA. New England native Amanda Donovan first began making her own skincare products as a teenager.
She talks about their signature products. "Our signature products are our Lavender Honey Hard Lotion and our Rosehip Hydrating Serum. The hard lotion is made with just four ingredients, and is safe for use on children and babies. It's effective for alleviating itching, dryness, and cracked winter skin and is also super soothing for skin irritation like eczema, psoriasis or skin cracked from over-work. It's not at all greasy, and in a container that makes it really convenient for traveling. Most of my regular customers tell me that they keep one stashed in every bag, room and car so they are never stuck without it. The Rosehip Hydrating Serum is a facial serum that I developed for skin like mine - a little sun damaged, a little uneven, starting to get some fine lines and pretty dry and sensitive in winter. It absorbs instantly and smells fantastic. I get frantic emails on this product when people run out, and have some loyal customers all over the country who tell me that they won't use anything else! My husband even uses it under his shaving cream."
Attention to detail is what makes Great Marsh special. "I'm a little obsessive about the quality of my ingredients. It's very important to me that the ingredients that I use have been really minimally processed and minimally handled. I source things as close to their source as possible, and I'm always looking to improve that. Because we are so small and make everything by hand, it allows me to make small batches of things, and when they are sold out I can invent something new, so our product line will always be evolving. We are truly a family-run business, with my kids helping to pack boxes, my husband running the business side, and our family and friends testing products for us. It's a lot of work, but incredibly rewarding!"

Glenn Maxwell produced yet another blistering knock of 43-ball 95 before Lakshmipathy Balaji returned with a four-wicket haul as Kings XI Punjab notched up a crushing 72-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their third IPL 7 match. (Full Coverage: IPL 7)
After scoring 95 and 89 in his last two innings, Maxwell once again produced a devastating knock, which was studded with nine sixes and five fours as Punjab posted an imposing 193 for six in their stipulated 20 overs. (FULL SCORECARD)
George Bailey's men then came up with a clinical bowling display to dismiss Hyderabad for 121 with four balls to spare at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium as Punjab registered their third straight win in IPL 7.
Maxwell, who was dropped by David Warner off Karn Sharma in the 10th over before Darren Sammy had him caught on a no-ball in the 15th over, shared a partnership of 68 runs off 27 balls with David Miller for the third wicket. He also added 35 runs with Cheteshwar Pujara and 25 runs with skipper Bailey. (Photos: Another Maxwell show)
Seam bowler Lakshmipathy Balaji returned with incredible figures of 4-0-13-4, while Mitchell Johnson (2 for 26) and Akshar Patel (2/20) snapped two wickets each. Sandeep Sharma (1/26) and Rishi Dhawan (1/23) took one each for Punjab.
Chasing 194 to win, Hyderabad found the going tough as they were reduced to 33 for three in 4.5 overs. While Mitchell Johnson struck the first blow dismissing skipper Shikhar Dhawan (1) in his second ball, it was Balaji's twin strike in his opening over which derailed their runchase.
Balaji first knocked off Aaron Finch's (19) stumps with an angled delivery, while two balls later, a back of a length delivery sent David Warner (8) back to the hut with Maxwell taking the catch at point.
Newman Y Venugopal Rao (11) tried his bit and scored a couple of boundaries off Dhawan's first over but he was sent back to the pavilion by Sandeep after the power-play overs.
Lokesh Rahul and Irfan Pathan tried to build a stand but spinner Akshar dislodged the latter's bails as Hyderabad slipped further to 74 for five in 10.2 overs.
Sammy blasted 15 off 11 balls before becoming the third victim of Balaji, while Rahul's 27-run innings was cut short by Patel in the 15th over. Rest of the batsmen also fell cheaply in their pursuit for quick runs.
Earlier put into bat, Virender Sehwag (30) and Cheteshwar Pujara (35) gave Punjab a good start, amassing their best opening partnership of 51 runs off 40 balls.
Sehwag blasted three sixes and two fours in his 22-ball 30 before holing out to Sammy at long on.
Pujara too departed in the 11th over when his attempt to clear the midwicket boundary ended with a good catch by Y Venugopal Rao. The Saurashtra batsman scored 35 off 32 balls with the help of six …continued »

Rafina: Mozambique
My name is Rafina. I am 24 years old and live in Balama District, Cabo Delgado Province, Mozambique. I first became sick in 2000 with chronic diarrhea. In 2008, I developed a terrible cough and was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. I took medicine for six months, but the cough would not stop. I was five months pregnant at the time, and during a routine prenatal care visit, I was tested and diagnosed with HIV.
For the remainder of my pregnancy, I took medicines to prevent transmission of HIV to my unborn children. I gave birth to twin girls and was given medicines to give to my children and additional medication for myself. I was not told that I should return when the medicine was finished.
Three months passed, and I became very sick again. I was coughing blood, and I thought I would die. I went back to the health center where I received medication for TB, and my children were tested for HIV. A month following our visit I received the results of the children's HIV tests: one of the twins was negative and the other was positive.
Today my HIV-positive daughter and I take our medicine together every day to be healthy. She likes to play and is growing normally, like her HIV-negative sister. To help support my daughters, I work as a counselor at the Balama Health Center, where I counsel other women and families. I encourage them to get tested and to adhere to treatment if they are diagnosed with HIV.
I have a dream that my HIV-positive daughter will continue to grow, become a doctor, and one day have her own children who are born free of HIV.
I would like to thank the people who have helped me manage my illness, especially the nurses and doctors at the Balama Health Center who have accompanied me every step of the way in treatment. I also want to thank the staff of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation for providing the financial and technical support to the Balama Health Center and helping to improve prevention programs and health care services provided at the hospital.

Display Drivers
Radeon 3D Performance: Gallium3D vs. Classic Mesa
Gallium3D, the graphics driver architecture started by Tungsten Graphics to overhaul the hardware driver support in Mesa, has been around for a few years but it is finally getting close to appearing on more desktop systems. Now that the Nouveau DRM code is in the mainline Linux kernel and its main 3D driver is Gallium3D-based, we will hopefully be seeing that adopted by more distributions soon -- it's already being flipped on with Fedora 13. On the ATI side the "r300g" Gallium3D driver that provides Gallium3D support for the R300-R500 (up through the Radeon X1000 series) is also being battered into surprisingly good shape. To see where the Radeon Gallium3D support is at for these older ATI graphics cards we have run a set of tests comparing the OpenGL performance under the latest Mesa 7.9-devel code with the Gallium3D driver to running the classic Mesa DRI driver.

ATI Radeon KMS vs. UMS With Ubuntu 10.04
Earlier this week we published comparative benchmarks of Mandriva, PCLinuxOS, Ubuntu, and openSUSE. In the discussion that followed, a number of people requested a set of tests that compare the performance of the ATI Radeon Linux graphics driver stack with kernel mode-setting (KMS) vs. user-space mode-setting (UMS), so today we have such results to deliver.

Benchmarks Of Nouveau's Gallium3D Driver
As we shared a few days ago, Fedora 13 will provide OpenGL acceleration support for NVIDIA graphics cards via the Nouveau driver when installing the Mesa DRI experimental drivers package. There is finally 3D acceleration for NVIDIA graphics cards using an open-source driver on Linux without having to depend upon NVIDIA's official binary driver. What makes this open-source 3D support for NVIDIA GPUs even more interesting is that it is atop the Gallium3D driver architecture rather than classic Mesa. With that said, we are providing early benchmarks of the Nouveau Gallium3D driver in Fedora 13 with two GeForce graphics cards as we compare the performance to NVIDIA's official Linux driver.

Open-Source ATI R600/700 Mesa 3D Performance
As we alluded to last week, we have been in the process of benchmarking many Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 series graphics cards using the open-source ATI Linux graphics stack with the Mesa R600/700 DRI driver. We have now carried out our first batch of R600/700 3D tests using this constantly evolving open-source driver to provide OpenGL acceleration and here are the results.

Using NVIDIA's VDPAU On Mobile Platforms
We know that NVIDIA's Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix (VDPAU) works very well for exposing PureVideo capabilities on Linux. We have benchmarked VDPAU and found it to perform very well in that under Linux it's possible to play HD videos with a $20 CPU and $30 GPU thanks to this video acceleration method. VDPAU is the best video acceleration / decoding API on Linux and is widely adopted by various multimedia applications, which is all in contrast to AMD's XvBA and their troubled implementation. But how does VDPAU work on mobile devices? With the ASUS Eee PC 1201N that is built on NVIDIA's ION platform we ran a new set of VDPAU video playback tests.

ATI Linux 2009 Year In Review
Compared to past years when recapping the AMD/ATI Linux advancements over the past calendar year, 2009 was not quite as exciting, which can be viewed as both good and bad for their Catalyst Linux driver. There were many advancements this year on AMD's open-source side, but in 2009 there wasn't as many milestones for their Catalyst driver like in the past with the introduction of CrossFire, OverDrive, same-day Linux support, the AMD Catalyst Control Center, and other new features. Here is our 2009 year in review look at AMD's advancements to their proprietary Catalyst Linux driver along with our annual benchmarks.

VIA's Linux TODO List... Maybe Look Forward To 2011?
Nearly two years ago at the Linux Foundation Summit in Austin was VIA's most recent announcement about becoming serious with open-source support. This was not VIA's first time they claimed to back an open-source strategy, which led a number of open-source developers to immediately call VIA's open-source strategy a bluff. To date this still is mostly a bluff, but they have produced some fluff. In 2010 it looks like this will still be the case, but VIA hopes to produce some code by the second half of 2010. This code, however, will likely not appear in most Linux distributions until 2011.

NVIDIA Linux 2009 Year In Review
Another annual tradition of ours besides running a Linux Graphics Survey is to provide a "year in review" analysis of the ATI and NVIDIA Linux drivers with their respective graphics driver releases from the past year in terms of both feature improvements and how their quantitative performance has changed. We have been doing these annual ATI and NVIDIA yearly reviews going back to 2005, but now it's time to share our thoughts and numbers for 2009. We are beginning with our NVIDIA Linux 2009 Year In Review.

NVIDIA Anti-Aliasing, Linux & Lenvik
Recently via email we were asked to run a comparison of the different anti-aliasing and image rendering options between the ATI/AMD and NVIDIA Linux drivers and hardware. Well, we have now run a few quantitative and qualitative tests at different anti-aliasing levels under Linux. For those that want to run the tests themselves with their own drivers and hardware, we also have provided instructions on how you can easily do so using the Phoronix Test Suite 2.4 "Lenvik" development build -- it is irresistibly easy.

Real Housewives of Miami
Real Housewives of Miami Recap: Season 3, Episode 9 — Marysol Attacks Lea!
The drama between Marysol Patton and Lea Black reaches its peak on this week's Real Housewives of Miami Season 3, Episode 9. It's time for the recap, so hook up your IV, jump out of a cake, and don't forget to practice your kegels.
Every Day Is Sex Day
The episode begins with Lisa dropping by Joanna and Romain's place for sushi. Both Romain and Lisa are shocked that Joanna has made a sex calendar for the couple, which features sex listed on every day of the week. Romain isn't having it, although he is interested in seeing blow jobs on there. C'mon, Romain — Joanna's gotta get hers!
Joanna asks Lisa to be her bridesmaid, which is very sweet, although Adriana De Moura might not be pleased. Lisa than asks about Joanna's "vagina muscles," followed by Lisa shockingly hopping on top of Joanna, with Romain watching. After that little romp, Joanna and Lisa decide that Romain has issues, which Romain calls "insulting." We're with you on that, Romain.
Alexia is celebrating her birthday, and Marysol comes over to wish her a happy one. After Marysol teaches an anti-wrinkle lesson by lying on her back on the silver sofa (uh, okay), they are shocked to read Adriana's wedding evite, with the requirement of having to change clothes. Marysol calls it "torture," which sounds about right.
Then again, speaking of torture, that IV vitamin treatment that Adriana and her friends undergo doesn't look too different from something that might have been used to get the truth out of someone in Zero Dark Thirty.
Who Sent What?
Lea has a happy surprise for Lisa: A light blue Birkin bag, which causes Lisa to say, "Holy f**k!" Well said. Then again, Lisa's husband Lenny is the one who paid for it, so he could be in for a surprise. Lea is in a giving mood, as she then meets with Alexia but oddly uses Alexia's birthday as chance to flog her own line of beauty products. (Translation: No Birkin bag for Alexia.) But there's nothing wrong with killing two birds, right?
Things get tense when Alexia says Marysol told her that Lea hasn't reached out to Elsa. At that, Lea pulls up a text that she sent to Marysol about Elsa, and she also claims to have sent flowers and cards. However, Alexia doesn't know whom to believe. Damn you, Hallmark, for making life so difficult sometimes.
Romain and Joanna meet the sex therapist again, and Romain realizes he lacked a mother figure growing up, so he expects Joanna to be overly feminine. Sounds like we're making progress! Speaking of the men, Adriana takes Frederic to get a little Botox. The results make Adriana smile — and we're sure Frederic would smile, too, if he could move his face.
But the craziest drama happens at Alexia's birthday bash — and no, we're not just talking about the strippers in the giant cakes. After Lisa informs Adriana that she's going to be Joanna's bridesmaid — aren't Adriana and Joanna supposed to have patched things up? — Marysol tells Adriana that Lea just now sent flowers to Elsa. As you may have guessed, Marysol wants answers.
Lea Bails — Twice
Marysol approaches Lea, who explains that she didn't realize how long Elsa had been in the hospital for, and that she had no idea Elsa had actually had a stroke. Marysol claims that Lea did know, and that it was "s**tty" of her to not send flowers sooner, which makes Lea a "terrible person." Double ouch. And so Lea leaves the party. Wait — Lea didn't want to stick around to get lectured? Weird.
Soon thereafter, Lisa finds Lea by the elevator, and Lea is in tears and worried that Elsa is being told lies about her. Marysol somehow tracks them down (is she the T1000?) and says that Lea didn't send Elsa get-well cards, even though Lea claims she did. Marysol then criticizes Jason for laughing, and so Lea and Jason decide it's time to say good night. Again.
But the drama isn't over yet, as Marysol tells Lisa that the fight between her and Lea is none of Lisa's business and that it goes back to before Lisa knew them. Marysol leaves amidst harsh words, and then Ana Quincoces picks up the baton and says Lisa is on "Hooked on Phonics." Well, if you ask us, this is as simple as ABC: These ladies do not like each other.
Our Final Impressions
Overall, this episode makes up for last week's lighthearted but boring one. But we're not sure who to side with. Did Lea really send those cards, as she claims? Because it seems like her story changed — first, she says she had already sent flowers and cards, and then she says she just sent cards. Hm. Regardless, we're not sure what Marysol was trying to accomplish by bashing Lea in public like this and questioning her bond with Elsa.
On the bright side, Romain and Joanna seem to be making real progress — and hopefully, Adriana and Joanna just might be, too. Indeed, it's great that Romain is willing to open up about his childhood in order to move forward with his relationship. However, all this drama has made us hungry. Did anyone save us a slice of cake that those strippers were in?

The Smells of New England
- Login to add to Favorites
- 14 Comments
You've probably heard that a week or so ago, one of the big news items coming from New York was that city officials have solved the several-year mystery of why at certain times the scent of maple syrup was wafting downtown. What I don't know is whether they thought it smelled like the fake stuff or like the real New England maple, which to me is one of the sweetest, most marvelous scents I know.
At first some people were alarmed. Buildings were evacuated and inspectors marched in, looking, I presume, for a bearded, flannel-clad Vermonter hiding out in some attic nook with his syrup evaporator and a cord of wood, just boiling away. But last week, New York mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that the smell had apparently emanated from a New Jersey factory that was using roasted fenugreek seeds in making an array of fragrances-and that from time to time things would continue to get a bit maply in the Big Apple, but no worries.
All of which got me thinking about the smells of New England I carry with me and what would happen if New Yorkers could get a whiff now and then of those. Because if maple syrup gets them in a tizzy, how about if they woke up to any of these New England scents, which we own as much as we own the mountains and rivers and forests?
Paper mills. More and more the northern New England paper mills have closed or have drastically changed their processing as the major paper companies have taken their work overseas. But the distinctive cabbage odor that came from those great smokestacks and carried on the wind for miles was once the singular smell of those company towns. Residents always said it was "the smell of money." They were right. Most of their jobs have gone, and with them much of that peculiar, precious smell.
County-fair fried dough. Stroll the dirt paths between the stalls of the great New England county fairs and breath deep-once you've embraced fried dough, it stays with you forever.
Freshly split maple trees. Late spring is when many of us have our winter wood delivered, whether we split it ourselves or it arrives already split. The most welcome smell for me is when my axe bites into a chunk of maple. The forest seems to explode all around me.
Italian sausages on Yawkey Way. There are stages to enjoying a Red Sox game. First, of course, is getting a ticket. But once that's in hand, thousands of fans mill about in the blocks surrounding Fenway Park, all sharing in that excitement of a summer night, a game ahead. And it all begins with an Italian sausage smothered in peppers and onions. If you've been there, done that, you know that deep, earthy smell.
Low tide on the Maine coast. The mud flats are rippled; you smell the seaweed, the clams, the mud, the water. Seagulls provide the music.
Bait barrels on a lobstering wharf. The smell a lobster craves, and will go through the gates of hell for — or at least the opening of a lobster trap — to satisfy a primordial hunger. Head Down East, hang out on a wharf where lobster boats are at anchor, and soak it in.

First Greg Jennings, now Jordy Nelson. The Green Bay Packers are without their top two receivers after Nelson was declared inactive for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He injured his hamstring during practice Wednesday. Randall Cobb, who followed his first 100-yard receiving game with a pair of touchdown catches last weekend, starts in his place. Jennings, who will have surgery Tuesday to repair the torn abdominal muscle that has sidelined him, is inactive for a fourth straight game. The Packers are also without Charles Woodson, who broke his collarbone last weekend against St. Louis; fullback John Kuhn; cornerback Sam Shields; and linebacker Nick Perry. Maurice Jones-Drew will miss the game for the Jaguars with a foot injury. Jacksonville's other inactives are cornerback Derek Cox; running back Montell Owens; defensive back Dwight Lowery; wide receiver Laurent Robinson; and defensive tackles D'Anthony Smith and Jeris Pendleton. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/p...

Just knowing that I am old now and it is going to keep getting worse is making me question this whole life thing. If this is all there is, then perhaps "going away" is the answer. I have so many surgeries ahead and rehab, I just don't think I am strong enough for it. I hope I break out of this soon.
It's hard for me to relate to your situation, since I've never been "extremely" ill. I can only wonder at the thoughts that go through peoples minds, when they have to endure multitude illnesses. I sometimes think about what Phoenix goes through as well.

Tiles Falling At UNM's Pit
University of New Mexico is putting up banners inside The Pit. But they are being installed to show more than support for the Lobo basketball team. Officials say the banners were designed to protect fans from falling tiles.
In the two years since the basketball arena's $60 million renovation was completed, more than two dozen tiles in The Pit's indoor and outdoor stone facades have fallen off.
University Architect Robert Doran says they banners will add safety, along with a touch of cherry and silver in support of the Lobo basketball team.

With this map, cyl 1 MAP read about 20hPa lower than cylinder 2 at idle, but they're matched with the stock map - not sure if this would mean anything.
I used in IR thermometer and the front cylinder header is about 20degrees warmer than the rear but they're pretty close with either map.
I then re-loaded the stock map and the sputtering in the left exhaust pipe returned.
I noticed in TuneECU that my voltage drops from about 13.1V to 12.5 when the fans come on. I saw it dip as low as 11.8 at one point. As the bike runs the O2 voltage would typically be in the .75-.8V range for both cyl but would drop to virtually 0 occasionally. I was looking to see if it correlated with the voltage drop when the fans came on but couldn't really tell if it happens around the same time or not.
Next up will be to try big-t's suggestion of squeezing vacuum lines... not sure if I'll be able to access them with the airbox on or not but we'll see - definitely a good idea.
In the meantime - anyone have any ideas as to why the injector pulse would still be longer with the akrapovic no-O2 map loaded? I guess this could suggest some leak in the vacuum hoses huh?
Do you think my voltage drop when the fans come on is abnormal (ie - do I need a new battery?)
I don't think they will feel the same.
How old is that battery... it looked fishy in your screen shot...

Finance Minister Mohammad Safadi. (The Daily Star)
BEIRUT: Finance Minister Mohammad Safadi asked General Security Saturday to open an investigation into the arrest of a man whom they lured into a center owned by the minister in a bid to apprehend him, requesting his immediate release.
"We ask the head of General Security and concerned parties to launch an investigation into this incident and punish those responsible for it," Safadi was quoted by his press office as saying.
According to a statement released by the office, Shadi Mawlawi was lured Saturday to the Center for Social Services owned by Safadi in Nour Square in Tripoli, north Lebanon, by security agents on the pretext that he would be granted health care.
Minutes after Mawlawi's arrival, security forces stormed the center and arrested him. Several employees and customers at the center were shocked and became distraught.
"Safadi considers the security agencies to be above such means and is asking for [Mawlawi's] immediate release," the statement said.
The statement also described the incident as a violation of laws and norms that could tarnish the image of General Security personnel.
Meanwhile, several people in Tripoli held a sit-in in Abdel-Hamid Karami Square and blocked the highway nearby in protest at Mawlawi's arrest.
The protesters held signs demanding his release and warning that they were willing to take further escalatory steps.
