Barry Diller-backed Aereo won another round in court today in its battle with broadcasters. Bloomberg
The UpTake: Aereo, the upstart TV streaming service, plans to expand but faces more legal battles with the networks after winning a round in federal appeals court today.
A federal appeals court is sticking by its decision that online TV streaming service Aereo can keep operating, setting up, well, more legal fights as the Barry Diller-backed startup continues its expansion into new cities.
The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York refused today to rehear the case against Aereo from broadcasters who have sued Aereo, claiming the company violates copyright by snagging broadcast signals and streaming them over the Internet. A three-judge panel of the court had previously ruled in favor of the upstart company based in New York and broadcasters had asked for a hearing before the full court of appeals.
But today's action isn't the end of legal wrangling. CBS has vowed to fight Aereo in every city where it expands.
"This decision comes as no surprise and all industry lawsuits against Aereo and similar services that steal our content are going forward as planned," a CBS spokesman told Bloomberg.
And a Fox spokesman told Bloomberg his company would be reviewing its options, including taking the case against Aereo to the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, Aereo has big expansion plans. The company is already operating in New York, Boston and Atlanta, and has announced it plans on launching in Chicago in September, an Aereo spokeswoman said in an email. "We are pleased by the further ruling in favor of Aereo," said Virginia Lam.

Riley Old Home Society
Greenfield is the birthplace and boyhood home of the famed "Hoosier Poet," James Whitcomb Riley. Before his death in 1916, Riley wrote over 1000 poems during his extraordinary literary career, including "Little Orphant Annie" and "When the Frost is on the Pumpkin."
The Riley Home, where James Whitcomb spent his boyhood years, was built in 1850 by his father, Reuben, and is located at 250 West Main Street. The City of Greenfield purchased this home in 1936 and the Riley Old Home Society was established.
Today, The Riley Home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is open to visitors (April - November).

Play it Again, Man
Feb 19, 2013 -- 10:38am
The above is the headline from Tony Kornheiser's column in the Washington Post, November 27, 1993. This was his lead:
By all means you want to see this again. Oh, sure, absolutely. You want to see Maryland play Georgetown next year. You surely don't want to wait another 13 years for this. Thirteen years between games. What was that, bar-mitzvah scheduling?
Typical Tony when he was still carrying a typewriter (and for that matter, a comb). After what he and an announced crowd of 13,761 had seen the day before at the Capital Centre, you would have been crazy to think that nearly 20 years would pass without a scheduled rematch between the two local college basketball powers. Well, think crazy because two decades later we're still waiting for it to happen.
Yes, they've met in the NCAA tournament and a holliday tournament, but only because of the way they were bracketed. The 13-year gap that Tony talked about in the column was the time between their previous meeting that also was not a scheduled event. It was a meeting in the NCAA tournament in 1980. The fact of the matter is, it's been nearly 20 freakin years since the game every local college basketball fan has wished for, was scheduled.
Money was a big factor behind the Thanksgiving weekend meeting in 1993. Russ Potts, who had made his living setting up big events, was behind it. A decade earlier, he made one of the biggest regular season college basketball games happen when he set up a matchup of the game's two premier big men - Georgetown's Patrick Ewing versus Virginia's Ralph Sampson. Everybody stopped what they were doing for the Saturday-night extravaganza. Off the success of that, Potts was able to convince the usually unconvine-able John Thompson to schedule Maryland. It seemed like a relatively safe play for Thompson. Maryland was still reviving itself from probation, while Georgetown was an annual NCAA tournament participant with a steady stream of big men coming to the hilltop. Dikembe Mutumbo and Alonzo Mourning were both in the NBA, but Thompson still had future NBA'ers Othella Harrington and Don Reid in uniform, which helped give the Hoyas a number 15 preseason ranking. All Maryland had was an obscure freshman in the middle - the aptly named Joe Smith. None of that mattered to Maryland coach Gary Williams, who was happy to get the chance to play the top dog in town.
The game was played on Georgetown's home court, which they shared with the Bullets, Caps and everything else that was scheduled around the games. However, ticket sales were evenly split between Maryland and Georgetown. Those two points would become a source of contention for years to come. More on that coming up. The fact that the game wasn't a complete sellout was blamed on the ticket price, $25 dollars, pretty steep for those days.
With 12 and a half minutes left in the game, Maryland trailed by 14. But the scrappy Terps fought back with Smith holding his coming out party. Harrington and Reid had no answer for him. In the final seconds, Maryland actually led by three, only to see Georgetown tie it at the buzzer. But in a shocker, Maryland won it overtime on a shot by freshman Duane Simkins at the buzzer, 84-83. Williams, still in his 40's nearly jumped over the scorer's table.
Smith finished the game with 26 points and nine rebounds, kicking off a two-year career that would make him the number one pick of the NBA draft in 1995. Said a stunned Thompson, "he was probably a little bit better than I had anticipated." Thompson also made it clear that he had no intention of committing to a rematch.
As the years rolled by, both teams had their share of success. Allen Iverson arrived a year later and spent two thrilling years at Georgetown, before becomming Thompson's first player to leave early. A year after Smith, Iverson was the number one pick of the NBA draft. Maryland went to back-to-back Final Fours and won the national championship in 2002.
Thompson left Georgetown in the middle of the 1998-99 season, but still exercised considerable influence over the program when he was succeeded by his longtime assistant Craig Esherick and later his son, John Thompson III. Williams stayed through the end of the 2010-11 season, winning more games than any coach in Maryland history.
Through it all, each dug in his heels on resisting a rematch. Williams maintained that since the 1993 game was played on Georgetown's home court, the Hoyas would have to agree to a rematch in College Park. Thompson said since the ticket sales were split for the '93 game, there was no obligation to play at Maryland.
Well, now that the two legendary coaches have moved from the bench to the broadcast booth, there could be some signs of hope for a rematch. In a podcast interview with ESPN's Andy Katz on Monday, both JT III and Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said they were open to playing at some point. Thompson said he and Turgeon were friends and mentioned that his brother Ronnie had coached with Turgeon at Oregon. Turgeon says he's interested, but neither coach believed it would happen anytime soon.
As my partner Steve Czaban likes to say, you have to get the Coke machine rocking before you push it over. And now may be the best time to get it rocking. Maryland has likely played it's last home game against top rival Duke with a move to the Big 10 coming the season after next. With Syracuse headed for the ACC, their last conference game against Georgetown is this weekend.
Rival games for the two powers are going away. The distance between the schools is not. Each team may now need each other more than ever. The legendy coaches have left. Tony doesn't even write anymore. Times have changed, but the hunger for a meeting hasn't. So, twenty years after Tony wrote, "Play it again, man," let's do it. Play it!

#Travel Tag Roundup 5/29: Green Turkey
#Travel Tags is a new series on Travel Freak in which we delve into all the posts on Instagram and Twitter marked with the #travel tag and republish our favorite photos and links for your viewing/reading pleasure.
Location: Ephesus, Turkey
Instagram User: tareksemaan
via @earthXplorer - New York doesn't have many pops of nature other than the obvious ones, which makes grey days like today even more drab. Instead of looking out my window, I'll be looking at these photographs of the shockingly green landscape of Hapao Village in the Philippines.
via @GotSaga - I've recently fallen off my strict summer diet in a big way – you can blame Memorial Day and all the requisite hot dogs. Long story short, I've become positively ravenous for Thai food, and this roundup of the top five foodie experiences in Bangkok isn't doing anything to quell my hunger.
via @ryanthomaswoods - To my credit, I haven't strayed so far away from my regimen to take a shameful pass through a drive thru – but the beginning of this video of Ryan exploring London reminded me just how amazing European McDonald's "restaurants" are. Maybe I need a Big Mac…
via @JATabner - I'm not much of a shopper when I'm traveling, mostly because I am usually poor and would rather spend my pocket change on alcohol than pants with weird foreign sizing. Looking into the fashion scene in Antwerp, however, I could see myself leaving the Flemish city with a few bags of unnecessary items.
via @TravelCulture - Apparently, it's the small things that makes Munich worth a visit. Good to know.

THE Jubilee line is the youngest and smartest of all London Underground lines, but it is mouldier than the much older Central and Bakerloo lines.
Daniel Henk, now at the University of Bath, UK, and colleagues collected fungal cells lurking on the platforms at 12 stations across the three lines. They then compared these levels with those in a London hospital and in one of the city's parks.
People travelling on the Jubilee line – which opened in 1979 and was extended in 1999 – breathe in fractionally more fungal cells than those on the Central line, which opened in 1900. In both cases, it was just over 1 fungal cell per minute. This is twice as much as you would get in the park and, reassuringly, four times as much as in the hospital. On the Bakerloo line, which opened in 1906, people take in 0.75 cells a minute.
Strangely, the Jubilee line had the fewest Penicillium cells from which penicillin is produced – though it is one of the most common fungal species in the outside air.
The difference is likely to be down to temperature, humidity and how the stations are connected to the outside (Fungal Ecology, doi.org/m66).

Dr Jon Heron (course organiser), Prof Kate Tilling, Dr. Laura Howe, Dr. Corrie Macdonald-Wallis, Dr. Daphne-Zacharenia Kounali, Dr. Andrew Simpkin.
Two days
17-18 March 2015
This course provides an introduction to methods for analysing longitudinal/repeated continuous data, with a focus on methods for analysing individual trajectories over time. Multilevel modelling and structural equation modelling (SEM) approaches will be described and compared. Throughout the course there will be an emphasis on what kinds of research question different types of method can be used to explore and on the interpretation of results.
The course is intended for researchers who are, or will be, involved in analysing longitudinal data. Participants should be familiar with the algebra of standard regression models for continuous outcomes (to beyond the standard of the short course " Introduction to Linear and Logistic Regression Models", or to the level implied by module 3 of the Centre for Multilevel Modelling's online multilevel modelling course, which can be found at www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/learning/course.html). Participants should be familiar with the use of Stata. No prior knowledge of other packages such as MLwiN or Mplus will be assumed, although Mplus will be used.
The course will comprise a total of twelve hours teaching, including introductory talks, lectures and practical sessions using the Stata software package and the Mplus software package. Approximately 50% of the course will be practical work.
We also recommend that participants refresh their knowledge of single-level models for continuous responses in advance of the workshop by reading the 'concepts' parts of Module 3 of the Centre for Multilevel Modelling's online multilevel modelling course (www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/learning/course.html). In particular, participants should ensure they are familiar with algebraic regression equations, and partitioning of variation (e.g. ANOVA).
Please note: This course is concerned with analysis of repeated measures. If you wish to learn about rates or survival analysis, please see the short course Rates and Survival Analysis. The course is also not about time-series models.
For further information: please contact email@example.com.

Stann called him out. Leben answered. The fight was on.
In the first round of the co-main event, Brian "All American" Stann impressed audiences with a startling knockout victory over the durable Chris Leben.
Putting on the performance of his career, Stann crushed Leben with a hard right hand that dropped him three minutes into the fight. Leben recovered temporarily, only to be dropped again with another assault of punches and a knee, which forced referee Josh Rosenthal to halt the bout at 3:37 of Round One.
"I asked for Chris Leben because he is the toughest guy on the UFC roster," the former Marine captain said, after dedicating his victory to one of his soldiers who died recently while serving in Afghanistan.
"That could have happened to either one of us, but luckily it was my night," Stann said of the knockout victory.
With this win, Stann improves his overall record to 10-3 and UFC record to 4-2.
Undefeated at middleweight, it will be fun to see who Joe Silva matches him up with next. Beating Leben is not an easy thing to do, and knocking him out is something only Anderson Silva has done. Leben was running on a lot of momentum after a great year in 2010, which saw him obtain three victories.
With Stann now in the mix and Greg Jackson and company helping him along the way, we could see him facing the top contenders in the division. A match with teammate Nate Marquardt is probably out of the question, but matches with Alan Belcher or Demian Maia could produce interesting results and set him up for a title run.
As for Leben, his dreams as a title contender are lost once again, and he must deal with his upcoming court date for a DUI charge from last year. A rematch with Yoshihiro Akiyama may be the best option for him at this point.

Vera and Alaska
My hubby and I are getting burnt out on names and right now we don't agree on anything. The only name I am loving right now is Vera (I love that it means faith) and the only one he is loving is Alaska (too weird for me!!!)
Can you suggest some names we might both like based on these??? I just wish my hubby would like Vera too and stop suggesting these wild names! lolHappily married and have just found out we are expecting our first bundle of joy October 2014!!!

Vera and Alaska are really different in style, so what name you chose now would influence your future children a lot. If you have an Alaska, then I think you are more or less obliged to pick other unusual names, and certainly say goodbye to more classic and old-fashioned names like Vera.
Maybe your husband would like Vera with the nicnkame Veruchka, Veruska, or Verusha? Valeska is another one that feels like a smash of both names. There's also Verity, Verona, Veronica, Valentina, Francesca, Annouska, Vasca, even though the meaning changes.
I think Vera Alaska would be a good compromise.Arabella, Thibault, Sophia, Alfred, Eleanor, Rémi, Charlotte, Achille, Olivia, Clement, Elizabeth, Frederick, Maud, Benedict, Adèle.

Update Feb. 5, 2013: APP has announced a 'Forest Conservation Policy' aimed at ending its involvement in deforestation.
Tell us where you've seen these products:
APP's destructive ways are driving critically endangered animals like the Sumatran tiger and orangutan into extinction, impacting indigenous communities and driving climate change
Indonesia is the world's third largest climate polluter due to rapid destruction of its carbon-rich rainforests and peatlands. One of the leading drivers of this break-neck deforestation is the expansion of pulpwood plantations into natural forests. Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) is Indonesia's biggest paper company, and its most notorious forest destroyer.As rainforests are cleared, drained and burned to make way for pulpwood plantations, endangered wildlife like the Sumatran tiger are pushed towards extinction. There are only 400 Sumatran tigers left, yet APP continues to eat into their last forest habitat.As APP expands its pulpwood plantations into rainforests, it also seeks to expand its sales of disposable paper products around the world. In the U.S., APP markets tissue under the guise of a subsidiary, Oasis Brands which sells the "Paseo" and "Livi" brands. For the last two years, Paseo was the fastest growing toilet paper brand in the U.S. To fuel this growth, APP is covering up its role in rainforest destruction and making deceptive claims of environmental sustainability.

Sea Scallops from Billy's Seafood
The wife and I host my mother's birthday dinner every year in the middle of January. We order seafood from Billy's Seafood near Gulf Shores Al. I made appetizers of the scallops with bacon wrapped shrimp as on entree. The scallops were gone by the time I finished cooking the shrimp. I think the birthday girl consumed most of them. Here's the receipe-
1 # sea scallops, cut in half
enough olive oil to saute
chopped green onions
clove of minced garlic
saute onions,garlic, and parsley for about 5 minutes on 600 F oven
add scallops and lightly brown on both sides
add to the pan: 1/2 cup chicken broth
splash of dry vermouth
splash of sweeth vermout
red pepper flakes
lemon juice
cook uncovered until liquids reduce down to pourable sauce
place scallops on serving dish and pour over sauce
I served this with toasted bagget slices with garlic and butter
(didn't get any of this either)

Prospective candidates interested in running in one of the races on the Oktibbeha County ballot can pick up or fill out the necessary qualifying documents at the Circuit Clerk's Office at the Courthouse Annex, which is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday.
The primary election is scheduled for Aug. 2, while the general election is Nov. 8.
Though new district lines for county district offices will also be drawn this year, the process will likely not be complete by the March 1 qualifying deadline, said Circuit Clerk Angie McGinnis on Tuesday.
After consulting the Attorney General's Office on Tuesday, McGinnis said candidates for county supervisor, Justice Court judge or constable may qualify under the current district lines.
Once the new districts are complete and approved by the necessary federal agencies, any candidate who finds himself or herself in a different district than the one in which he or she originally qualified will automatically see his or her candidacy shifted into the new district, McGinnis learned from the Attorney General's Office.
"The qualifying paperwork would be changed administratively to reflect a district changes," McGinnis said.
All candidates for state or county office must:
• Be a registered voter in the state and the district, county or county district of the office for which they are running.
• Never have been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment (unless having received a full pardon).
• Never have been convicted of a felony in a federal court or a felony in the court of another state as outlined in Section 44 of the Mississippi Constitution.
Countywide or county district office candidates seeking political party nomination must file a statement of intent and pay either a $10 or $15 fee (according to office) to the appropriate party executive committee via the Circuit Clerk's Office.
Countywide candidates running as independents must submit petitions containing signatures of 50 registered voters to the Circuit Clerk's Office.
Candidates for state district or statewide offices must qualify with the appropriate state political party office in Jackson or, if an independent candidate, with the Secretary of State's Office in Jackson.
In addition to the Circuit Clerk's Office, copies of the various statements of intent for all candidates and petition forms for independent candidates may also be downloaded from the Secretary of State's Office website at http://www.sos.ms.gov [2] by clicking under the link marked "Elections."
For additional information, contact the Circuit Clerk's Office at 323-1356 during regular business hours or visit the Secretary of State's Office website.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
> With FF he is returned to the *top* of the first page.
> With IE he is returned to the *current* item of
> interest.
Hmm... I don't know if mine does this right now, but let me suggest a
different usage mode that may make thing much faster. I know you
said that opening the link in a new tab isn't any better, but I wonder
When I'm sorting through a long list of items that I may be interested in.
I scroll down the list, and every time I see an item I'm interested in,
I right-click on it and select "open in tab". When I get to the bottom of
the page I click on the "next page" link, and then go to looking through
the tabs I have selected from this page (closing each with ctrl/cmd/alt-W
when finished) and while I'm sorting through these items, the next page
of the list loads. To make this really effective, I uncheck "Select
new tabs when opening from link" in the preferences, and then I don't
actually have to deal with the new tabs until I'm done with the list.
I find this usage mode means that I spend a lot less time looking at the
little spinning icon while a page loads. (Broadband often just moves
the bottleneck out a few hops, as far as I can tell.)
I know this doesn't really answer your question, but IMHO, tabbed browsing
is reason enough to switch away from IE to Netscape/Mozilla/FireFox/Safari.
On those rare occasions when I have to use IE, I really miss it.

Triple Complex HaliTonic™
HaliTonic bad breath remedies and medicine for halitosis. Natural bad breath treatment.
Use the Triple Complex HaliTonic to:
- Cleanse toxins and bacteria from the mouth and digestive tract
- Treat the underlying causes of halitosis and bad breath
- Improve bad breath and unpleasant tastes in the mouth
- Assist with the treatment of gum disease (not a substitute for dental care)
- Improve all putrefactive conditions in the body - e.g. halitosis, gassy bowels, foul smelling stools and mucous infections
What causes halitosis or bad breath?
While bad breath or halitosis may sometimes be caused by poor oral hygiene, there may also be other underlying causes which contribute to bad breath and are often difficult to treat, despite all efforts to follow a healthy mouth and teeth cleaning routine.
This can cause great distress and even result in problems with relationships and difficulties in the workplace.
There are a number of causes of bad breath, including:
- Poor oral hygiene
- Gum disease (e.g. gum boils, abscesses, spongy gums, gingivitis)
- Multiplication of odor-causing bacteria in the mouth and digestive tract
- Candidiasis
- Chronic sinus infection
- Certain medications (especially those that cause dry mouth as a side effect)
- Smoking
- Some foods can cause bad breath (garlic, onions, anchovies, high protein diet)
- Poor digestion and sluggish liver
- Constipation
How do I know if I have bad breath?
Sometimes bad breath is noticed by an unpleasant or bitter taste in your mouth.
You can also check the smell of your saliva by licking the skin on your inner wrist and then smelling it. If it has an offensive odor, then the chances are that your breath is not as sweet as you would like it to be!
However, it is also possible to suffer from bad breath without being aware of it. If you notice that people tend to step away from you when you speak, turn their heads or cover their mouths, then bad breath may be a problem.
The best way to find out is to ask someone who you can trust to tell you the truth.
What is HaliTonic?
HaliTonic is not just another product to freshen breath!
It is a unique combination of biochemic tissue salts and selected medicinal herbs which are effective in cleansing the system of all bacterial or putrefactive conditions.
HaliTonic acts as a system cleanser and detoxifier and promotes healthy liver functioning. Regular use of HaliTonic can help to prevent bad breath by treating the underlying causes. It will also assist with other body odor problems such as foul smelling feet, stools, gassy bowels, underarm odor, etc.
Use HaliTonic along with a regular oral hygiene program and say goodbye to bad breath permanently!
What are the ingredients of HaliTonic?
Native Remedies HaliTonic Contains:
Kalium Phosphate (Kali. Phos.): 6C is a biochemic tissue salt which is a constituent of all fluids in the body. Kali. Phos. has an antiseptic action and helps to reduce or stop decay of body tissue. It is well known as a cleanser of any putrefactive conditions such as halitosis (bad breath), foul smelling flatulence and stools. This is also an excellent nerve tonic and natural tranquilizer.
Silicon Dioxide (Silica): 6C is also known as the 'homeopathic surgeon' due to its unique ability to cleanse the cells of toxins and rid the body of bad odors. Silica is naturally occurring in the body, especially in hair, nails, skin, nerve sheaths and all mucous membranes, including the mouth and digestive tract. This biochemic tissue salt is also frequently prescribed for gum disease (including gum boils and mouth abscess), mouth ulcers and chronic mucous infections (e.g. sinus infections). Silica acts as a natural cleanser and purifier and will also eliminate all foreign matter in the body. For this reason Silica should not be used by people with any type of prosthesis, breast implants, pace makers, metal plates, pins or artificial tubes in the body.
Foeniculum vulgare (Sweet Fennel): has been used for many centuries as a diuretic, anti-spasmodic and calmative herb. It contains an aniseed-flavored essential oil containing mostly anethole, as well as fenchone; both of which are thought to account for its anti-spasmodic and diuretic properties. Fennel is an excellent digestive tonic, which also helps to relieve gas. Fennel seeds have been long used as an aid to sweeten the breath.
Carduus marianus (Milk Thistle): is regarded as one of the most important herbal liver tonics and restoratives. It helps to restore healthy liver functioning, bile production and digestion, thereby acting as an eliminator of toxins in the body and the digestive tract. Medical use of Milk Thistle may be traced back more than 2000 years. Milk Thistle has been subject to many clinical trials which clearly demonstrate its effectiveness.
Lactose: HaliTonic is presented in small lactose tablets. The amount of lactose used is very small and is generally well tolerated even by people who are lactose intolerant.
(HaliTonic contains no gluten, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives).
How has HaliTonic Helped Others?
"I am so grateful to you that I decided to write to you with a testimonial for Halitonic which has been the best thing that has happened to me! I had a problem with bad breath for so many years and spent a fortune on things like mouth washes and other junk that was all supposed to work. I was hardly ever without a mint in my mouth. Without Halitonic I'm sure that this would have continued forever as believe me, I have tried everything! In less than a week I noticed that the unpleasant taste in my mouth was going and even my mother said that my breath was much better. I cant believe that my problem has been solved after all this expense and time and simply cannot thank you enough!" - Cecilia
"I can recommend Halitonic to anyone who has suffered from halitosis. This product has really worked for me." - Denzil J .
"Not only has your remedy cleared my bad breath, but also my smelly feet and other unmentionables. Some people may think it is funny, but it was not funny for me and caused me to have no friends and to stay far away from people. It didn't matter how much I kept myself clean - nothing helped and who wants to be near a person who smells? Thank you for helping me and recommending this product" - H. M.
How do I use HaliTonic?
Dosage: Slowly dissolve 2 tablets under your tongue in a clean mouth 2 - 4 times daily.
Note: HaliTonic tablets are safe for all ages and during breastfeeding; however safety during pregnancy has not yet been established.
What else can help?
- Brush your teeth after every meal and before you go to bed.
- Don't smoke!
- Gargle with a peppermint and fennel-flavored mouth wash.
- Chewing raw celery sticks helps to freshen breath.
- Make sure that your toothbrush is kept clean and sterilized.
- Dry mouth is a frequent cause of bad breath. Make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
- Do not go on starvation diets. Regular chewing and swallowing helps with saliva production and can help to prevent dry mouth.
- Use Detox Drops to cleanse your system.
- Clearing underlying and chronic sinus infections can help to prevent bad breath.
How long does one bottle last?
Depending on frequency of use, one bottle of HaliTonic lasts for approximately a month.
A 90-120 day supply of 3 bottles is offered at a discount (see the 'Buy 2 Get 1 FREE' special below).
How long before I see results?
With regular use of HaliTonic, improvement should be noted within 3 - 5 weeks - although some people respond sooner.
HaliTonic is manufactured according to the highest pharmaceutical standards. Native Remedies selects individual ingredients that are well-researched, natural, safe and effective.
HaliTonic is backed by our one year money-back guarantee so you can experience relief risk-free.

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins Speaks Out Following Shooting, Points Finger at Southern Poverty Law Center for Labeling FRC a "Hate Group"
In his first television interview since Wednesday's shooting, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins spoke out on America Live. The suspected gunman, 28-year-old Floyd Corkins, entered FRC headquarters and reportedly said, "I don't like your politics" before shooting Leo Johnson, a security guard. Despite his injuries, the guard wrestled Corkins to the ground, preventing further injuries.
Perkins stressed that Johnson is not an armed security guard, saying, "It truly was a heroic effort as we know now that the intentions of this man were clearly evil and to do massive damage here at FRC."
While Perkins acknowledged the Corkins is clearly to blame for yesterday's violence, he believes that organizations such as Southern Poverty Law Center, who labeled the FRC as a "hate group" for their defense of traditional Christian values, provided him with the license to carry out such an attack. "I think it's time for people to realize what the Southern Poverty Law Center is doing with their reckless labeling of organizations that they disagree with."
He believes that such labels provide an opportunity and incentive "for people who are not right, that are imbalanced like Corkins, who comes in and literally had the intent of killing people here yesterday." Perkins continued, "I am not saying that the Southern Poverty Law Center is responsible for the shooting. Mr. Corkins is responsible for the shooting. They are responsible for creating an environment that led to yesterday's shooting."
Perkins also revealed that the FRC was repeatedly referred to as a "hate group" in recent coverage of Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy's comments about gay marriage, as the restaurant chain donated to the FRC a few years ago. Based on the evidence, it appears as though this played into Corkins' alleged attack, as he was reportedly carrying 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches along with 50 rounds of ammunition in his backpack at the time of the shooting.

Pakistan has remained a generous host to millions of Afghan refugees for three long decades despite the impact this has had on the nation and its people. It remains the largest refugee hosting country in the world.
Though millions of Afghans still need continued international protection in many countries, the last decade has also seen some 5.7 million Afghans returning home constituting the largest voluntary repatriation anywhere in the world. As such, a quarter of Afghanistan's population today constitute of refugee returnees who choose to return home in the hope of restarting their lives.
UNHCR has agreed with Afghanistan and its two neighbors—Pakistan and Iran—on a new strategy that will be presented at an international conference scheduled in Switzerland in early May this year. This gathering will seek support for programmes inside Afghanistan that will increase the sustainability of returns and create conditions that will attract more repatriation. It also seeks the commitment of the international community to support countries that host Afghan refugees.
[DC]: Which refugee or IDP situation strikes you as the most devastating?
[IR]: Any form of forced displacement has a negative and devastating impact on human lives. Individuals who suffer the most from the consequences of such events are often women and children. Having worked for UNHCR in different operations in Africa, Asia, and the Balkans, I can say that helping people to rebuild their lives from scratch after going through the trauma of displacement is an extremely challenging task.
The Afghan situation is one of the most complex and protracted refugee situations that the world has been dealing with for the last three decades. We are still struggling to find durable solutions for many Afghans who continue to live as refugees. Assisting those who have returned home to reintegrate successfully continues to be a challenge. Afghanistan itself and the neighboring countries that host Afghans need continued international support to make a long lasting solution possible.
[DC]: What are conditions like on the ground?
[IR]: Conditions remain difficult for refugees as well as for returnees who have returned home. Afghanistan is gradually trying to come out of many years of conflict and devastation. The country still has to deal with many complex issues related to nation building. These include, reconciliation, development, governance, security, refugee returns, and ongoing internal displacement. While some 5.7 million have returned to Afghanistan since 2002, there are also around half a million internally displaced Afghans fleeing ongoing conflict and insecurity in parts of Afghanistan.
In Pakistan and Iran conditions are also becoming tougher because of economic and security challenges. The impact of hosting refugees for over three decades has taken its toll on the host communities. Therefore communities that have hosted refugees in these countries also need continued support and solidarity to share their burden.
[DC]: What is UNHCR doing to improve these conditions?
[IR]: UNHCR works closely with governments, civil society, and partners to help manage the refugee population in Pakistan and Iran and has also endeavored to support the reintegration of returning Afghans into the social fabric of Afghanistan. We continue to assist Afghans who want to return home under our voluntary repatriation programme—in safety and dignity—which means helping them with a transport grant and a moderate amount to cover their initial return expenses. We have also built 200,000 shelters for the most vulnerable returnee Afghans—who would not have been able to do it themselves. UNHCR is also working on host community support programs in Pakistan.
UNHCR has engaged the international community to ensure continued support for Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran while seeking solutions and better protection for the remaining refugee population. Recently we have developed a multi-year Solutions Strategy for Afghan refugees together with the governments of Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, which sets out a road map for the next few years. This strategy will be presented for endorsement to key stakeholders and the international community in early May in Switzerland. It is our collective hope that we will continue to have the engagement, support, and solidarity of the international community to address the plight of Afghan refugees.
[DC]: What constraints is UNHCR facing on the ground?
[IR]: Our constraints are as complex as many other issues that Afghanistan faces today. We have to remember that the country has been through three decades of war and devastation. Nation building is not a process that fits neatly into time frames; it takes time and investment in institutions and human capital. It takes political will and commitment. UNHCR has to deal with shrinking humanitarian space in Afghanistan and a deep sense of asylum fatigue in the host countries. To give an example: though the voluntary repatriation to Afghanistan has decreased in the past three years, in 2011 the Afghan repatriation program was still the largest worldwide with some 70,000 returns. At the same time we saw the highest number of civilian casualties in Afghanistan and internal displacement. Afghans also constituted the largest number of asylum seekers globally reaching as far as Australia. This underscores the complexity of the situation.
In the current security context with limited humanitarian space and access, repatriation and reintegration activities are becoming increasingly challenging in many parts of Afghanistan. UNHCR, very recently, lost three staff members in Kandahar. So against all these challenges we intend to remain engaged in Afghanistan to help people. At the end of the day our focus is the people.
[DC]: What is the role of Goodwill Ambassadors? How are they helping achieve the mission of UNHCR?
[IR]: With the right profile, visibility, status, and influence, Goodwill Ambassadors are powerful advocates for the refugee cause. They can play a significant role on behalf of refugees as they draw attention to refugee related issues, help amplify media coverage, and reach audiences otherwise not easily accessible to UNHCR. They can also contribute to the branding of the Organization, help to raise its profile and mobilize people to care and give to UNHCR.
[DC]: How important is donor support to this operation?
[IR]: UNHCR is an organization that relies entirely on funding from governments and the general public. Donor support is the backbone of UNHCR operations. It is also of paramount importance that the international community appreciates and supports countries that host millions of refugees. Most refugees are hosted by the developing world that share the burden and contribute to the well being of millions of refugees.
[DC]: What can the average person do to support UNHCR's work?
[IR]: It is important that people understand who is a refugee and what compelling circumstances lead to someone becoming a refugee. These are people like you and I and the reason they had to leave their home was to save their lives. At one stage in their life refugees are confronted with this dilemma of either staying back and risk everything they have or seek protection somewhere else. UNHCR welcomes and seeks public support for its initiative at all times.
The public can donate to UNHCR's project that directly assists refugees here.
They can also learn more about refugees by going to the UNHCR dedicated YouTube channel or take part in our Facebook app that allows the public to take a stand for refugees.

UBS, the largest Swiss bank, is likely to cut 10,000 of its 63,500 staff in the coming years as the Switzerland bank plans to shrink its investment bank and move parts of its fixed income-trading business into a non-core unit.
The announcement of job cuts is likely to coincide with the unveiling of UBS third-quarter report on October 30. If reports are to be believed then, UBS job cuts will be one of the largest layoffs by a bank since the financial crisis.
Sergio Ermotti, the new chief executive of UBS AG, plans to restructure UBS investment banking due to increasing pressure from Swiss regulators on bank to boost capital and shrink their trading and investment-banking operations.
According to the analysts, the shakeup in investment banking might see Carsten Kengeter, the co-Chief Executive Officer of UBS Investment Bank, with reduced role, while his co-head Andrea Orcel getting more responsibilities.
UBS board is expected to meet in New York on Wednesday to mull restructuring of its investment banking unit and also consider jobs cuts due to the fixed-income operations, reports Bloomberg.
The new job cuts are expected to be the addition to the ongoing programme of layoffs announced last year. UBS last year vowed to cut 3,500 jobs to save £1.5 billion.
The UBS job cuts throw light on the changing regulatory and market environment, which is forcing financial companies globally to retrench to reduce expenses.
UBS' largest Swiss rival, Credit Suisse Group AG, is also overhauling the bank to increase its cost-cutting efforts by 1 billion Swiss francs to save 4 billion francs of by 2015.

Music Video: Spectacular lo-fi music video from Seattle girl band Chastity Belt
Have all the high-budget music videos you want, I'll argue to the grave that the lo-fi ones are always better. This one is a prime example of perfect song-to-video ratio, with the incredible Chastity Belt wailing out a terrific track companied by a video that totally represents what they're about. Of course it may be something to do with the band having a helping hand in the making-of, but if that's the case then even better! Bands and directors should work together in perfect harmony, that's where the real corkers come from. I love the bit where they're all kind of floating in the night sky, it reminds me of that much-loved E-17 video. I thoroughly advise you to stop what you're doing and go and buy the new Chastity Belt record while you still can.

NimbleBit is set to come out with a follow-up to its popular aviation-themed business simulation game, Pocket Planes. But instead of planes, trains are the stars of this upcoming game, which, of course, is called Pocket Trains. And ahead of the new game's imminent launch, NimbleBit has released a new teaser trailer for Pocket Trains.
Take a look:
If you can't see the video embedded above, please click here.
If the overenthusiastic voice you hear in the teaser sounds familiar, that's because the teaser's audio is taken from none other than the viral "Excited Train Guy" video. Shown below, the original video features an unabashed railfan gushing over a couple of vintage train cars in North Creek, New York.
If you can't see the video embedded above, please click here.
Now, if you're at least half as excited about playing with pixelated locomotives as Excited Train Guy is about seeing two train cars moving back and forth along a track, then make sure to watch out for Pocket Trains.
According to Touch Arcade, Pocket Trains has already been submitted by NimbleBit to undergo Apple's approval process. So, it should be arriving in the App Store pretty soon.
In the meantime, you can continue playing Pocket Planes, which was hailed by us here on AppAdvice as our Game of the Week following its release in June last year.
