After three months of persistent boycotts, Mozambique's largest opposition party Renamo returned to dialogue with the government on 27 January.
For the first since October, Renamo sent a delegation led by senior parliamentary deputy Saimone Macuiana to a meeting with the government at Maputo's Joaquim Chissano Conference Centre.
It was Renamo, back in April 2013, which requested the dialogue, but in October broke off the talks threatening that it would not return until the government accepted the presence at the table of national and international mediators and observers.
The head of the government delegation, Transport Minister Gabriel Muthisse, told reporters that the spirit of both sides was "positive", and they had reached an understanding on "essential questions" concerning the participation of "third parties" in the dialogue.
Muthisse said he had the impression that Renamo had rejoined the dialogue in a positive spirit. "In the coming sessions we shall try to consolidate this spirit", he added, "so that it has a positive impact on the life of our people".
"The most important thing is the participation of third parties, of observers", Muthisse stressed. "The two parties will sit down to define the criteria for the participation of these third parties. I think that our perspective, and I believe also that of Renamo, is not to see who has won and who has lost. Our expectation is that all Mozambicans will gain from this debate. Our focus is that Mozambicans should win so that they can produce and live in a climate of peace".
Observers agreed
At a meeting on 1 February the government and Renamo held a further meeting and agreed on the names of five Mozambicans who will act as observers during the dialogue.
The names of the observers were not revealed. However, two of the names are already known - they are Anglican bishop Dinis Sengulane and the Vice-Chancellor of the Polytechnic University, Lourenco do Rosario, who have already been carrying messages between President Armando Guebuza and Renamo leader Afonso Dhlakama.
Saimone Macuiana told reporters, "during the talks the two sides decided that space is open for Mozambican citizens and institutions who want to contribute to the success of the negotiations between Renamo and the Government".
Voter registration delayed
Following the resumption of talks, the government postponed this year's voter registration by a fortnight, in order to facilitate participation by Renamo.
Registration was to have begun on 30 January, lasting 75 days. But at an extraordinary session on 29 January the Council of Ministers (Cabinet) decreed a delay with registration now running from 15 February until 29 April.
The Council of Ministers stated the delay was at the express request of Renamo "in the context of the dialogue under way between the government and Renamo so that this party may better prepare itself to participate in the 2014 presidential, parliamentary and provincial elections".
The government "in the framework of promoting the spirit of peace, reconciliation, national unity and multi-party democracy agreed with the Renamo request".

The X Factor
Eliminated X Factor Finalist David Correy: 5 Things You Need to Know
Is it just us, or does everything seem right with the world now that David Correy and his jaunty fedora are in our lives? If you've come to love this dazzling singer/songwriter as much as we do, you're probably itching to know every single detail about his life. Which brings us to this roundup! Check out five things you need to know about David.
1. He's Adopted — But Guys? He Found His Birth Mom!
Remember when David first emerged from X Factor's nurturing bosom and announced that he was an orphan trying to find his mom through music? This tattooed prodigy was given up by his birth mother during his infancy, but fear not y'alls — they were recently reunited through the power of the interwebs. David's mom, Luciene, reached out to him with the help of Brazilian newspapers, which brings us to (drum roll, please)....
2. He's From Brazil
Ever wonder how David got his swarthy good looks and love for fedoras? He hails from the gorgeous paradise known as Brazil — specifically the city of Recife. Davey came to the USofA after his mom gave him up (she was just 14 at the time), and his adoptive parental units raised him in Maryland.
3. He Went to the Acclaimed Berklee College of Music
David was lucky enough to be recognized for his talent at a young age. In fact, he was so skilled that he received a four year scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston (side note: must eat cream pie). Sadly, David came down with an illness in Bean Town, which resulted in him losing his voice and moving home during his sophomore year. Awww, buddy! L.A.'s shoulder is there for you to lean on.
4. He Founded His Own Record Label
David is almost as passionate about his musical career as he is about his body tattoos (read: super passionate). Before oozing his talents all over X Factor, Davey had already founded his very own label, Urban Rock Records. David says the label is about "Getting a group of people in a room, who wouldn't happen to cross paths but by chance with the power of my multicultural fusion, color becomes abstract & music becomes whole." Sounds fab!
5. He Was in High School Musical(s)
Guys, we have a feeling that David is a major Gleek. This superstar-in-the-making has sung his way through many a high school musical, but theater nerding just wasn't enough to quell his thirst for SONG. Yep, David would sneak off to the boy's room to sing in private, which basically makes him The Fonz. "I was the king of taking bathroom breaks," he says. Good to know.

Audit Report 4-16: Audit of SBA's Administration of the Procurement Activities of Asset Sale Due Diligence Contracts and Task Orders
On March 17, 2004, the OIG issued Audit Report 4-16, Audit of SBA's Administration of the Procurement Activities of Asset Sale Due Diligence Contracts and Task Orders. The objectives of the audit were to determine if (1) the SBA followed proper pre-award procurement methods, (2) the SBA awarded contracts and task orders in accordance with policies and procedures, (3) the SBA performed post award duties in accordance with policies and procedures, (4) the SBA responded to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests in accordance with policies and procedures, (5) the SBA's use of the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) was in the SBA's best interest, and (6) an allegation presented in a complaint was supported. This audit was limited to a review of SBA's asset sale due diligence contracts and task orders awarded from FY 1999 through FY 2002.
The OIG issued 10 findings and made 30 recommendations as a result of this audit. The findings included: (1) The SBA did not follow proper procurement practices which resulted in asset sale due diligence contracts and task orders that did not benefit small businesses; (2) Contractors did not receive impartial, fair, and equitable treatment; (3) Discussions were not held for due diligence contracts and task orders; (4) SBA's acquisition planning and monitoring requires improvement; (5) the Office of Procurement and Grants Management did not always comply with procurement policies and procedures; (6) Due diligence contracts and task orders were not properly reported to the Federal Procurement Data System; (7) The SBA did not follow proper procedures for FOIA requests; (8) An effective SOP is outdated (OPGM has been using a draft SOP as standard procedures for over five years because the effective SOP is outdated, and "draft SOP 00 11 2 was issued for clearance in August 1998, however, it never completed the clearance process"); (9) Use of the Federal Supply Schedule to procure due diligence services was not in the SBA's best interest (e.g., the SBA "was overcharged between $1,690,838 and $4,577,261"); and (10) a complaint about the SBA was unsupported.
The OIG made 30 recommendations, the most significant of which related to Finding 1, and proper procurement practices. For example, some of the recommendations that the OIG provided to the Associate Deputy Administrator for Management and Administration included: (1a) Revise current procedures to require offerors for 8(a) and small business set-aside contracts, and offerors for task orders to small business set-aside FSS contracts, to provide information in their proposals to clearly support the amount of personnel costs to be subcontracted; (1B) Ensure that the amount of subcontracting is reviewed and documented in the contract file for awards of 8(a) and small business set-aside contracts and task orders to small business set-aside FSS contracts; (1G) Require FSS contractors classified as small businesses to certify their size for FSS task orders exceeding $500,000 to ensure the contractors fit within applicable size standards; (1I) Ensure all sole source requirements of the FAR are complied with when only one contractor is solicited; and (IK) Revise SBA guidelines to clarify what type of labor should be considered in determining compliance with the 50 percent rule and how interpretations of the 50 percent rule requirements should be requested.
Additional recommendations were made regarding acquisition and planning, to include (4A) Develop and implement planning procedures in accordance with FAR Part 7, and issue a procedural notice to ensure SBA program officials are aware of procurement planning requirements.
Likewise, further recommendations relating to Finding 6 included (6A) that the SBA determine the proper nature of funds in all future SBA asset sale contracts and task orders before issuing a solicitation for contracts and task orders; (6B) the SBA ensure that appropriate SBA officials are aware that the proceeds from SBA's asset sales are appropriated funds and should be treated in accordance with rules and regulations applicable to appropriated funds; and (6D) that the Associate Deputy Administrator for Government Contracting and Business Development notify the Office of Federal Procurement Policy of the deficiency discussed above and recommend that periodic quality assurance reviews be conducted by GSA to ensure the accuracy and reliability of FPDS data.
With regard to Finding 8, An Effective SOP is outdated, the OIG made the following recommendation: (8A) that the Associate Deputy Administrator for Management and Administration issue draft SOP 0011 2 as soon as possible, incorporate policies to address the outstanding items described above within six months of the issuance of this report, and ensure future directives are cleared and issued within a reasonable timeframe.

Reformers versus Traditionalists?
8:16 AM, Nov 11, 2008 • By STEPHEN F. HAYES
A characteristically thoughtful and provocative column by David Brooks today, this one the coming "fight over the future of conservatism." There are two camps, Brooks argues, the Reformers and the Traditionalists.
Traditionalists are
This strikes me as too simplistic. I suspect most conservatives do not readily fit into one of these two categories. Like me, for example.
I do think conservatives have lost, in no small measure, because they've strayed from conservative creed. And I think it's indisputable that George W. Bush was a big-government Republican who, in many respects, betrayed conservatism. Further, I believe conservatives should return to their core ideas and near the top of the list of such core ideas should be cutting government and cutting taxes. But I don't think restricting immigration is one of those principles and I know many so-called traditionalists who don't necessarily want to rally behind Sarah Palin, but nevertheless defended her from the hysterical media criticism of her views, her family and her candidacy. So I'm half traditionalist, I suppose.
But, I think I'm half reformer, too. I'm skeptical of modernizing priorities (though I'd be more skeptical about modernizing principles) and I like tax cuts as a way to address middle-class economic anxieties. I take global warming seriously, but I'm turned off by a lot of the alarmist rhetoric used by global warming theorists and I worry that the "solutions" they propose restrict market activity in harmful and unnecessary ways. I'm definitely intrigued by the way David Cameron has modernized the British Conservative Party. I certainly believe that conservatives should pay attention to the ways the country has changed and I've argued repeatedly that we have to appeal to Hispanics and younger voters. Finally, I have very mixed views about insulting the sensitivities of the educated class and "the entire East and West coasts." (Wait, there are no traditionalists on the East and West coasts? Hmmm.) The elites on the East and West coasts have been mocking those of us from "flyover country" for decades and many of those in the so-called "the educated class" -- Noam Chomsky, Edward Said, Lee Bollinger, Juan Cole, Ward Churchill, Frank Rich -- have earned their insults.
So am I a reforming traditionalist? A traditional reformer? A tradiformer? A reformitionalist? All of the above? None of the above?
I'm pretty much just a small government conservative. I think there are still a lot of us out here.

I don't know if it will fit inside a full body case.. It would be trial and error for a full body case, but if you use a side/back covered case it should be ok.. If your at an apple store they will allow you to try the different cases on your phone before you leave the store..

EU revisits Intel probe
- Related Stories
EU probes Intel-friendly procurement rulesApril 21, 2004
Supreme Court to hear Intel-AMD document caseNovember 10, 2003
The Commission recently issued 64 letters of inquiry regarding Intel to computer makers and retailers in the region, after it received information from Intel rival Advanced Micro Devices.
"We received a (new) complaint from AMD and are conducting a fact-finding mission by sending letters to key players in the industry," said Amelia Torres, a spokeswoman for the Commission, which is the executive arm of the European Union.
Any resolution remains far in the future, she said. "We are a long way from coming to a preliminary conclusion on Intel."
The Commission's investigation, which essentially focuses on whether Intel has used its dominant position to influence the market for PC processors, was opened in 2001. The investigation had been quiet lately, but was never concluded. During this time, AMD has kept in touch with the Commission and has continued to pass along information.
European regulators are also investigating the procurement processes of government agencies in several countries, which specify that only Intel-based computers may be purchased. In addition, Intel is under investigation by regulators in Japan.
The new probe is being handled by the same European Commission team that investigated Microsoft. That effort led to a decision against the software maker that included a record fine of more than $600 million and an order for the company to change its practices.
As part of the original complaint against Intel, the Commission looked into allegations that the company abused its position in the market for Windows-capable microprocessors by engaging in abusive marketing practices. At that time, it also sent information requests to computer makers and retailers.
Specifically, regulators are examining whether Intel used its dominant position in the chip marketplace to issue allegedly unfair royalty rebates and exclusive purchase agreements, said Frank Fine, an antitrust attorney with law firm DLA in Brussels.
Torres declined to comment on the substance of the allegations in the Intel case or on whether others have stepped forward with complaints regarding the chipmaker. One source familiar with the issue was unaware of any other companies lodging similar complaints against Intel.
Intel said that it has not received any new queries from the Commission but that, as a rule, it cooperates with any investigation.
"Our position remains the same as it's been for more than three years," company spokesman Chuck Mulloy said. "We have said all along that our business practices are both fair and lawful around the world."
AMD has been battling with Intel to gain a bigger share of the PC processor market for years.
"Our position is that the investigation never really stopped," said spokesman Michael Simonoff. "We think there's something to it, and it's really in the interest of a level playing field. We just want to be able to compete fairly."
AMD has also attempted to provide the Commission with legal documents from the dispute between Intel and Intergraph over patents. That attempt has been held up in U.S. courts--most recently in the Supreme Court, which heard oral augments in the case in April but has not yet issued a decision.
Reuters contributed to this report.

I think when it comes on the heels of a grueling, KOTN performance. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hunt gotten at least a 30 days suspension which would still limit his training time on the short end of things.

YOU wouldn't want to be nearby when a spinning black hole lets rip. It now seems they can store and unleash the energy of billions of supernovae, with potentially devastating consequences for their host galaxies.
Many of the supermassive black holes that lurk at the centre of galaxies fire out powerful plasma jets that extend for millions of light years. Though the details of how these jets are produced remain murky, there seems to be only two plausible power sources: one is matter falling onto the black hole, which can't explain all the cases. The other source is the black hole's stored rotational energy. Calculations suggest it should be possible for jets to siphon off energy at the expense of the black hole's rotation as long as magnetic fields are present to connect the black hole to any matter nearby. Persuasive evidence for this has been lacking.

Four Glee Guys Make Glamour's List of the Sexiest Celebrities — But Who's Ranked the Highest?
Is it any surprise that Glee has a drool-worthy cast? Of course not! (They're sexy and we know it.) Still, it's nice that Glamour has made it official.
The magazine has released its list of the 100 sexiest male celebrities, with Robert Pattinson taking the top spot. And to our delight, four of the guys on the list are from Glee! Apparently, we're not the only ones who look forward to a good shower scene on Glee.
So which Glee stud was the highest ranked on the list? That would be — drumroll, please! — Cory Monteith (Finn), who comes in at number 11. Way to go, Cory — and we're sure that your girlfriend Lea Michele (Rachel) would approve! We haven't seen much of Finn yet this season, but based on that quick shot of Finn at Rachel's doorway last week, Cory appears to be in better shape than ever.
Coming in at number 25 is Darren Criss (Blaine), who is a little too low on the list for our taste, but we'll try to let it go. Still, we're excited that he made the top 25! There are so many reasons why he deserves it: His powerful voice, killer dance moves, and that hair. Heck, he would deserve a spot on this list just based on how he looked in those Robin-esque tights in last week's episode.
Congrats also go out to Chris Colfer (Kurt) at number 80 and Mark Salling (Puck) at 94. Interesting that Chris beat Mark, right?
So we're thrilled for the four dudes who made the list, but we're still wondering about a few glaring omissions. Like, where the heck is Chord Overstreet (Sam)? (Has Glamour not seen him shirtless enough times?) Or Grant Gustin (Sebastian)? The list goes on and on...
And we can only assume that Dean Geyer (Brody) and Jacob Artist (Jake) weren't quite famous enough to make the list this year. But they had better be on there next year, or else there will be trouble!

Jay Belloli, the longtime gallery director at Pasadena's Armory for the Arts — two decades there, and before that, at Baxter Art Gallery at Caltech — was feted by a crowd of some 800 people Saturday night at the Armory as he steps down from his post. Surrounded by art — much of it postcard art, sent in by artists in his honor. And by friends — he is truly beloved by the Southern California community of artists and collectors. What a testament to that the size of the crowd was. Much fun was had.
Monthly Archives: June 2010
So I'm eating my strip-mall Korean restaurant sushi lunch today, alone, finally catching up on the New York Times Book Review's annual Summer Reading issue from early June, when a relative's name catches my eye.
Amarillo rancher Bill O'Brien is a first cousin, once removed — my Panhandle-native mother's first cousin — and both a famous cattleman, like his family namesake, my great-grandfather Will O'Brien, and famously outspoken. He was a leader in the effort to get nuclear bomb maker (now dismantler) Pantex out of the Panhandle, and has long been in arguments with food writers who say that it's not healthy to eat corn-fed beef.
But Bill, on his LIT and other ranches, practices a combo, as I understand it — his cattle are grass-fed and free-range roamers at first, and then are corn-fed in feed lots.
But here's the quote, in a review by James Oliver Cury of "Steak: One Man's Search for the World's Tastiest Piece of Beef" by Mark Schatsker: "After Schatzker meets Bill O'Brien, who keeps 50,000 cows in Texas and champions the use of corn-based feed, he spends the rest of 'Steak' railing against such a diet."
Well, with a caveat, apparently: "Bad grass," Schatzker writes, "equals bad steaks."
I've dropped a note to Bill, who, if he has an iPhone on horseback while he's gettin' the dogies along, will give his side …
Caught and not released
Saturday through Monday was my annual three-day trout fest, fly fishing with brothers Pete and Mike Moffat, formerly of Altadena, in the waters surrounding Mammoth Lakes.
When we are out with our guide Harry Blackburn, the best in the Eastern Sierra, it's all catch and release. And when you're with Harry, it's a lot of catch — the guy is known as the fish whisperer. He also, famously among the other guides in the Sierra, can see trout where no one else can — and proves it by telling you right where to toss your fly, producing a hot strike. We fished with Harry on Sunday on the East Walker near Bridgeport, and slayed 'em — and put 'em back.
But Saturday we kept some browns caught in our secret spot, and brought them back to the condo with us, and ate them. This was before that and after Mike had finished cleaning them in the sink.
Century plant at dusk
Solar-powered street people
I was walking down Bancroft Avenue, at Telegraph, across the street from the UC Berkeley campus the other morning when I saw this solar-powered grocery cart apparently owned by one of the city's many homeless people. Astounded at the ingenuity, I stopped to take a shot, when the owner, sporting this Golden Bears sweatshirt, came out of the corner eatery and demanded a dollar from me for the right to take the picture. I had to laugh.
Actually, I've become more of a soft touch for panhandlers in my old age. As a student there, I certainly couldn't afford to give the Telegraph moochers a dime. But now when beggars are polite, I give. Not to this joker, though. Demanding doesn't work. I continued down the block, and he yelled after me: "You … you … honky!" As both of us were white, an African-American woman buying flowers two doors down got a good laugh out of it. I told her why he was yelling and she said, "Oh, that's the guy with the solar-powered cart." So I guess he's famous in B-town.
Cinema 21 in San Francisco
Berkeley painter and architect Keith Wilson and I were moving so quickly through the San Francisco Fine Arts Fair 10 days ago, hungry to get to our Greens restaurant reservation, that I just snapped this in passing and forgot to note the gallery — but it's a Sally Storch , right?
It certainly is the Cinema 21 on Washington just west of Lake.

In short, I have a drop down list in Excel, with 3 options: Red, White, Mixed. However I need to run a macro, on a button push that will check that 3 drop downs all contain either red, white, mixed... or blank.
So far I've managed:
If Not (Range("C17").Value) = "Red" Or "White" Or "Mixed" Then MsgBox "Incorrect wine choice" & vbCrLf & _ "Please re-enter the colour of wine" Exit Sub End If
This is how I would have thought it would work but.. apparently not. Running it with just "= "Red"" is fine however.
Much appreciated if someone could give us a hand,

yeast transportation
i want to send yeast strain to my friend living abroad, what is the best way to send yeast strain so that they also dont loss their viability.
i hope you will guide me soon.
best regards
aftab ahmad
Re: yeast transportation
Hi there Aftab,
I would recommend making a stab. To to this:
1. Make a small 10-20mL stock of sterile YPD agar (or similar).
2. Transfer the agar into a 30-50mL sterile tube (e.g. a Falcon tube)
3. Keep the tube at a 45 degree angle until the agar sets
4. Take some of the culture onto an innoculation loop and stab it deep into the center of the agar.
The culture should be fine in there for several weeks at room temperature. When your friend get the culture he/she should stab an innoculation loop into the agar and use it to break up the agar, then streak onto fresh plates.
Re: yeast transportation
Hi Dear
Thanks for your guidence
this is not only my problem and we should discuss this topic in detail so i would like that other members should also contribute and also give some other way for bacterial and yeast transportation.

Two men from Perth, Western Australia have been sentenced to life in jail on Friday with a 21-year minimum for the fatal bashing of a gay man in a public toilet in a nature reserve in November 2013.

They beat to death man they caught having sex in park toilet with metal pole
Two men were found guilty of murder Friday (27 March) in what prosecutors described as a 'vigilante attack' to rid a park in Perth of gay men.

Both men denied the charges but a jury found them guilty after five hours of deliberation.
The man who was in the cubicle with the victim testified that the pair burst in and punched, kicked and beat Batchelor with a meat pole.

Here is the full list of places that we have been recently.
So many places, so little time. We love to travel and we love to write about travel – sharing our experiences and stories, hopefully inspiring our readers to travel more and also share their travel stories with us.
Gay Star Travel embraces the capital of Western Australia with its bronzed bodies, nature attractions and local culinary delights
Perth, the capital and largest city of West Australia state, is one of the most isolated cities in the world.
Located on the southwest tip of Australia and framed by the Indian Ocean, Perth's temperate climate makes visiting local scenic caves, rivers and beaches a daily way of life.
The relaxed pace of life is felt through the shopping and eating hot-spots, where the region's warm weather helps produce some of the best wine, coffee and food in the world.
Perth is definitely worth the journey. Here's eight reasons why.
A boyfriend known as Volleyball and a rabbit named Oreo added to the festive cheer of a family holiday on Margaret River and the beaches of Perth
It was the weekend before Christmas and I was watching a television in Heathrow airport's Terminal 4, just near my departure gate.
The weather forecast looked bleak - so far it had been a fairly mild December in the UK, but it seemed things were set to deteriorate with high winds, heavy rain, and stormy skies predicted.
It was with some relief I boarded my flight. I was heading to Australia for a family Christmas.
Anglican Archbishop of Perth Roger Herft has blocked a motion saying gay civil unions can co-exist with heterosexual marriages despite two thirds of the state's Anglican Synod voting in favor of doing so
The head of the Anglican Church in the state of Western Australia has again vetoed a motion in support of the civil legal recognition of same-sex relationships alongside heterosexual marriage.
The motion was passed by more than two thirds of the attendees of the church's synod in Perth at the beginning of the month but the Anglican Archbishop of Western Australia Roger Herft had 30 days in which he could decide to assent or dissent to the motion.
On Monday Herft announced his dissent on the motion, saying, 'the church cannot formally accept certain behaviors.'
A heterosexual Australian father of two has written about how he now has greater empathy for gay people after he was the subject of a homophobic prank by an airline employee
A heterosexual father of two has blogged about his experience having the words 'I am gay' plastered on his luggage after boarding a Jetstar flight at Perth airport - an incident which the airline is now investigating.
'Aaron,' wrote that the experience had given him a greater appreciation of what gay people go through every day.
'My suitcase was the first bag on the carousel,' Aaron wrote on his One Sleepy Dad blog.
A Nigerian pastor who claims gay marriage will lead to the end of the human race is touring the Pacific region next month, visiting Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji and the Solomon Islands

Adeboye's Let the Wind Blow tour will take him to Canberra, Melbourne, Auckland, Suva, Port Moresby, Perth, Sydney and the Solomon Islands capital Honiara.
Adeboye made headlines in Nigeria earlier this year when he claimed same-sex marriages would lead to the end of the human race.
A majority of the Synod of the Anglican Church of Western Australia has voted in support of a motion saying that legally recognized same-sex unions can coexist with heterosexual marriage
The Synod of the Anglican Church of Western Australia has passed a motion saying that gay civil unions can co-exist with heterosexual marriages – backing same-sex couples having their relationships legally recognized.
Rector of Darlington-Bellevue Anglican parish, the Reverend Chris Bedding told ABC News he had not been confident that his motion would pass but it was backed by more than the two-thirds majority needed for it to pass.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has signed "Keep Calm" posters backing allowing same-sex couples to wed at an official campaign launch for a Labor candidate in another sign it is an issue that the Labor Party wants to use to differentiate itself during this year's election
The man campaigning to be a three time Australian prime minister has signed posters backing marriage equality at an election campaign event – showing that the ruling Labor Party wants to use the issue to differentiate itself from Opposition leader Tony Abbott's Liberal/National Coalition of parties.

GSN recalls the ghosts of Christmas past
For me Christmas always feels like an intrinsically Northern European tradition - the stories of St Nicholas and Good King Wenceslas seem more relevant when the nights are dark and the snow is actually deep and crisp and even. Christmas markets where you huddle around drinking glühwein and hot chocolate seem a lot more fun when you're rugged up in hats and scarves, watching your friends skate madly around the temporary rink that has taken over the town square.
Australia's Prime Minister has had to use a back entrance to avoid protesters in favor of marriage equality, while all federal Australian politicians have been sent a video dispelling myths around the issue
The Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard has had to use a back entrance to avoid facing protesters in favor of same-sex marriage at Perth, Western Australia's Curtin University.

Jacobs said, as reported by Perth Now:
An anti-gay marriage rally in Perth is set to be gate-crashed by LGBT rights campaigners tonight
An anti-gay marriage rally planned by the Australia Family Association in Perth tonight is set to be challenged by up to 100 students standing up for gay rights.
The organiser of the counter-rally Sam Cavallaro told The West Australian:
Just how essential is a personal trainer for the modern gay fitness fanatic facing austerity measures?
With the global economic remaining relatively uncertain, I've been reviewing my outgoings to see where I might be able to make some savings.
My twice-weekly workout with my personal trainer is one of those items of expenditure that, on the face of it, would be one of the first things to go if times got hard. The thought terrifies me.
If you've never had a personal trainer, then it's difficult to understand the deep bond and dependency that quickly forms.
She's concerned by 'amount of hatred' directed at her due to anti-gay views
Margaret Court vowed she wouldn't stay away.
The 11-time Australian Open singles champion arrived in Melbourne Monday (23 January) night despite backlash against her over her outspoken comments against gay marriage.

by Shelby - age 12
Everytime, when a new book by one of my favorite authors, I make sure I'm the first on the hold list. Then I get the book from our awesome library (seriously, seen a lot, this one's the best so far), and read it from the time I check it out to about two in the mosring. I'm not a super fast reader, but I'm very persistant. I read the book as fast as I can (one or two days), then reread it. I love that our library gets ahold of new releases quickly, so I don't have to buy books (I'd be broke).

Airport project creates demand for parking, adds 1,600 new spaces | News
A parking expansion construction project at the Dane County Regional Airport is creating high demand for parking, and officials are recommending travelers plan extra time to park.
The ramp and adjoining surface lot closest to the terminal may reach full capacity during the construction, according to a release from the Dane County Regional Airport.
Officials are urging travelers to arrive at least two hours before a flight?s departure time to allow extra time for parking and security screening.
Signage near the airport will provide up-to-date parking availability, and live updates will be posted on the airport?s Twitter account, according to the release. A free shuttle will operate between the economy lot and the terminal building from 4 a.m. until the last flight arrives each day.
?DCRA is a key contributor to our local economy, and when our airport expands you know great things are happening in our region,? Dane County Executive Joe Parisi said. ?The growth of local high-tech companies, combined with the Dane County Regional Airport?s growing list of 12 direct flights to locations across the country, has helped ridership and demands for parking.?
The first phase of the project will add three floors to the airport?s existing covered parking ramp, which will add 1,600 new spaces, according to the release. The extra spaces will be available for use by the end of the year, and already existing spots in the covered ramp will remain available throughout construction.

Following last week's earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Eberhard J. Wirfs, chairman of the Lions Club International Foundation, e-mailed this statement to club members:
"Lions, we respond immediately, alongside our fellow Lions of Japan. Within hours of the disaster, Lions Clubs International Foundation committed over $1.25 million [or ¥101.07 million] … for immediate relief for Japan. This includes a major catastrophe grant, six emergency grants and designated donations from Lions worldwide. We also established a designated fund for Lions to directly support this disaster."
Donations can be made to the Lions Relief fund at http://www.lcif.org/donate.
Other service clubs are reaching out to Japan, too.
Rotarians are being encouraged to contribute funds to the Rotary Foundation Rotary Japan and Pacific islands 2011 Disaster Recovery Fund, according to Roger McGonegal, past district 5320 governor and Newport Beach resident. Rotarians in affected areas will identify and determine how best to help these communities recover after initial disaster relief efforts are completed.
The contributed funds will not be used for immediate disaster relief but for recovery efforts. Contributions to the fund will be made available to clubs and districts in the affected areas for participation in Rotary Foundation Matching Grants and Global Grants. As with all matching grants and global grant projects, Rotary Japan and Pacific Islands 2011 Disaster Recovery Fund grants will require Rotary clubs or districts in at least two countries (a partner outside of the project country and a partner within the project country) to work together to plan, implement, and complete the project. The projects must involve active personal Rotarian participation. To make a donation to the Rotary Relief efforts, visit http://www.rotary.org.
Soroptimist International, which expressed its heartfelt concern for those affected by the disaster that struck Japan, has set up the "Japan Disaster Relief" Fund. Contributions earmarked "Japan Disaster Relief" may be sent to Soroptimist International of the Americas, 1709 Spruce St., Philadelphia, P.A. 19103.
Arbor Day activities
On Saturday, at least 30 members of Rotary Clubs of Newport-Balboa and Costa Mesa titivated (spruced up) more than 2,300 eleocarpus decipiens, more commonly called Japanese blueberry, seedlings in preparation for presenting them to all the public and private schools in Newport-Mesa at a small ceremony this week.
The Arbor Day activity was started in 1969 by the late Gen. Thomas F. Riley, Newport-Balboa's past president and chairman of the Board of Supervisors, and his good friend Cecil Schira, then president of Hines Nursery. For the past 43 years, Rotarians have given more than 98,500 trees to third-grade classes in public and private schools in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach.
As they visit third-grade classes, Rotarians point out that trees provide beauty and shade, help fight effects of pollution, provide oxygen and combat the effects of global warming, according to Peter Smith, Arbor Day chairman for the Rotary Club of Newport-Balboa. A big tree in a 15 gallon pot will be planted on Tuesday at 1 p.m. at Whittier Elementary School, 1800 N. Whittier, Costa Mesa, in a Arbor Day ceremony attended by school officials and Rotarians, according to Smith.
Orange County then and now
Author Chris Epting will discuss his latest book, "Orange County Then and Now," and talk about some offbeat county history at the March 20 meeting of the Costa Mesa Historical Society.
Epting is the author of 18 books, including "James Dean Died Here," "Roadside Baseball," "Led Zeppelin Crashed Here" and "Vanishing Orange County." He also writes for a variety of outlets, including the Los Angeles Times, AOL News and Orange Coast Magazine. He is the host of "Forgotten Orange County," the TV series on PBS SoCal, and lives in Huntington Beach with his wife and two children.
Doors open at 2 p.m., and the program will follow at 2:30 p.m. with free admission and refreshments for all. The Historical Society is at 1870 Anaheim Ave. next to Lions Park in Costa Mesa. For further information, call (949) 631-5918, or visit http://www.costamesahistory.org.
Thought for the day
"Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest."

International Federation of Journalists Sends Letter of Support to NWU, UAW Local 1981
Submitted by News_post on August 3, 2014 - 9:45pm
NWU/UAW Local 1981
256 W. 38th St. Suite 703 New York, NY 10018
3 August 2014
Dear Larry,
I write on behalf of the
International Federation of Journalists
to thank you and your union for standing up with the global community of journalists in solidarity with our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. This morning, I have just been notified by our Palestinian union, the PJS, of the latest grim toll of journalists killed yesterday which now brings the total of journalists killed in the last three weeks to 12 and over 35 injured. As you know, the IFJ deals almost on a daily basis with cases of journalists attacked all over the world just for doing their job. The tragedy of Gazan journalists is that they are not just caught in crossfire or indiscriminate shelling but they are also wilfully targeted.
According to the PJS, media offices have been regularly targeted by the Israeli army, in particular Al Aqsa TV and radio whose studios have been repeatedly hit. Also hit were Al Jawharah Tower which houses several media, the offices of Media 1 TV, and even Al Jazeera office in Al Shorooq Tower was shot at, hours after Israel's foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman called for the broadcaster to be banned from Israel.
The IFJ has no doubt that, according to the Geneva Convention's Article 79 Protocol Additional I, any targeting of journalist is a serious breach of international humanitarian law and Article 85 of the convention considers this to be a war crime. Materials and facilities used by journalists are civilian objects according to Article 52 and, consequently, the bombing of a TV or radio station, even if it is partly used for propaganda, is not reconcilable with international humanitarian law.
We take these breaches of international conventions very seriously and, whenever they happen, we make representations to the Israeli authorities reminding them of their responsibility under international laws. At a time when every attempt at a ceasefire has floundered, we are extremely concerned that the security situation of journalists in Gaza will worsen without a concerted and unified voice to denounce the violations of journalists' rights in Gaza and mobilise world opinion for change on the ground.
We will therefore continue to call on all our affiliates worldwide, including the National Writers' Union in the US, to provide humanitarian support to their Palestinian colleagues and, most importantly, solidarity from journalist to journalist.
I can assure you that journalists from all the over the world will continue to stand up with our colleagues and help them in their greatest hour of need.
Yours in solidarity,
Jim Boumelha IFJ President

In 2005 a global movement was launched for a campaign of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel. Since then, events with Israeli speakers, Israeli universities, stores that carry Israeli products, and Israeli companies have been boycotted with the goal of delegitimizing Israel. The goal of BUY ISRAEL WEEK is to combat the efforts of the BDS protestors through our purchasing power. Every purchase can help make a difference. We know that a real boycott of Israeli companies would have disastrous consequences. Many Israeli institutions are responsible for scientific research to cure disease; Israeli companies develop technology that we use in our cell phones and computers, and new energy technologies are used in other countries. Whether switching your brand of coffee or purchasing a gift, you can actively make the decision to buy Israel.
BUY ISRAEL WEEK is organized by jdeal.com, The Jewish Week Media Group of NY, Washington Jewish Week, Florida Jewish Journal, Tribe Media Corporation, the Jewish Standard of New Jersey, the Chicago Jewish News, Texas Jewish Post, J. the Jewish News Weekly of Northern California and Jewish News of Greater Phoenix, Philadelphia Exponent, Baltimore Jewish Times.– representing the largest Jewish markets in the United States, as well as Israel-America Chamber of Commerce, Manufacturers' Association of Israel, Israel Export and Cooperation Institute, Conference of Presidents, United with Israel and Stand With Us.

Left and right massage therapy practices are setting up shop in the Metro. Perhaps increasingly more people are getting into the healthful living trend that's taken over Hollywood.
A lot more than just being pain reliever and a tension, massage therapy has a lot more advantages to offer that actually promote a healthy lifestyle. Though not known to many, massage therapy eases quicker recovery from injury and healing, fortifies the immune system, lowers blood pressure and also improves carriage. Not only that, additionally, it improves attentiveness and flexibility in somebody. This really is maybe why massage therapy as a business has become so big now.
Through continuous use massage therapy decreases systolic and diastolic blood pressure and relaxes blood vessels, decreases the degree of strain or cortisol hormones and prevents depression and anxiety. These create body and a clear head making the person more dynamic and energetic and reduce the danger. Massage also helps relax the muscles itself, enabling individuals to become more energized. This is the reason why folks are so much into massage therapy. It rejuvenates the body from all the anxiety that we run into everyday.
Since one's anxiety levels decrease, it also lessens the chance of a person's exposure to pathogens by increasing the body's cytotoxic capacity. When the amount of active natural killer cells increases, the line of defense of our body becomes stronger and much more stable and becomes successful in protecting us from sicknesses.
Quicker recovery from injury is just another good thing about massage therapy because it enhances circulation of body fluids that are important making it easier for the body to deliver nutrients to vital organs as well as other areas of the body and loosens the muscles.
Besides these good effects, massage therapy can correct bad position which causes pressure and pain in muscles that can lead to the breakdown of the body. It relieves the tension in soothes pressure points, worn out muscles by stimulating the generation of body fluids and lubricants, and increases the flexibility, in order to enable the entire body to position itself in a painless way. Thus, the individual execute daily jobs without hassle and can proceed freely.
As demonstrated in electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns, regular massage can also enhance an individual's mathematical skill due to increased attentiveness due to the removal of stress. Less pressure is imposed by the absence of anxiety on an individual resulting to a targeted and focused mind, free of worries and distracting thoughts.
Massage therapy might be considered as a simple recreational action it does more than simply restoring the vitality of one because it lessens or even gets rid of the dangers inflicted on an individual's health. It also helps an individual loosen up because it leaves the person who has a renewed outlook and releases energy that is unwanted and refreshed perceptions.
Study even demonstrates that HIV patients who have frequent massage therapy sessions detect an improvement within their state. This demonstrates that massage therapy isn't a waste of time rather it's a person's key to getting a sensible head and body.

America's Next Top Model
Ann Sounds Off About Her Controversial Waistline on ANTM
Ann Ward recently denied speculations of her having an eating disorder, and just chalked her rail-thin body up to a genetically high metabolism. The 6'2 ANTM contestant is rumored to weigh under 100 lbs, and stirred up a lot of controversy in the first episode when Miss Jay successfully enclosed her entire waist in his hands. Tyra immediately spoke out saying Ann wasn't picked for the show to promote an unhealthy body image, but rather to diversify the definition of beauty, and bring something new to the fashion world. Insert Tyra's love-your-body spiel here. Ann says of the controversy, "It doesn't really bother me. I know that people will know what I'm about and understand me once the show airs, and they have a chance to learn about me." Admittedly, she does seem too awkward to try very hard at looking model-gorgeous.
Considering her social awkwardness, she brushes off the anorexia claims rather gracefully saying, "I can only say that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. There are many people in this world who have unique features or body types, and it doesn't mean one thing or another automatically. Just get to know a bit about a person before you make conclusions." Sounds like this model is already preaching the good word of Miss Tyra. She claims that her entire family is just as tall as she and that all of them are able to eat whatever they want without gaining any weight. Something tells us, though, that we won't see any clips of Ann scarfing down a cheeseburger after a long day.
Ann does admit, however, "Seeing people talk about me and stuff has been really hard. It hurts." Apparently, being a model isn't as glam as it's cracked up to be.

Sounds like john Smith could be another ungracious aussie!! They played great cricket...how can anyone say its the only thing they will win? I think thet will retain the ashes,anyone who has to rely on Shane Watson to bowl!!!!.....The South Africans and Indians looked very poor,as did the Kiwis and the windies....so on what do you base this judgement Mr Smith (cant you print your proper name!) I think in all forms of cricket we are making good progress,whereas other teams are going backwards!!

Did anyone actually watch this tournament? England from the Super 8 stage onwards hammered everyone they played. How? Because of their bowling. 5 English bowlers (born in England) + one over from Luke Wright (also born in England). The batters could have been from anywhere; England, South Africa, Bangladesh, Dundee... it wouldn't have mattered, anyone could have chased down the puny targets the oppostions were setting or set a defendable target for the bowlers. England smashed the tournament because their homegrown bowling attack skittled every native batting line up they faced. So there!

I'm staggered at all the misery-guts comments here. I'm half English and half Italian and my dual nationality is hardly of my choosing. Does that mean I can't play sport internationally? The last Englishman to win the world cup was Simone Perrotta - he was born in Ashton-under-Lyne. Does that make him English or Italian? Italians were harldy nit-picking when the trophy came back to Italy. England won, and that's that. Do all county players come from the county they represent? No. That's the way it is in International sport now. There are plenty of 'mongerls' such as myself out there who have a choice who they want to represent; why give someone a hard time if they choose England, then go on to help us win a world championshp? England won fair and square. We should be enjoying that, not turning it into a BNP platform for right-wing opinion.

The only people that aren't complaining are the Englist. What does it say about the development program in English cricket when half the team come from somewhere else. They could almost make 2 teams with all the foreign players they've used over the last 10 years. A truly English team (players born in England only) will get pumped in internation cricket. English cricket should be embarressed!

David Bain says...
I dont think the issue here is the South Africans playing for England, the issue is how many. In the case of Strauss, and in the past Hussein, they were kids when they came over, so they have been brought up in the English system, and look like and play like Englishmen, so can be regarded as English. In the case of Pietersen, Trott and Kieswetter, they were all adults when they came over, and play,act, and look like South Africans. why does Kieswetter want to play for England, when Bouchers days are numbered, and dont let Pietersen fool you about changing allegiances because of the colour system, that is just his arrogance in believing he was better than anyone else, which he wasnt at the time. Basically you dont mind one maybe 2 overseas players playing, but the amount coming through now is ridiculous. In the case of keepers, what about good english talent like Stephen Davies, or Phil Mustard .

It was sad to see such a lousy reception for the world champions . It would have been better if Australia had won, atleast people there appreciate it more .. Shame on you England. I think soccer fever will bring an end to cricket and rugby in the future.And the bad news is you guys aren't that good at it as compared to the other two sports.

Why so much noise about England winning 20/20 World Cup?after all 100 years back England was ruling 2/3rds of the world.So you will find players from 100 countries.Do not be surprised if England wins the World Cup in South Africa!

I'm a big fan of International Cricket, and I was delighted that England finally won a hard earned trophy that involved other cricketing nations as well. To me, the Ashes series against Australia wasn't a real competition, because it only involved two jingoistic teams; (I'll admit, I'm probably the only person with this particular viewpoint) however, the lively Twenty20 format has proved that England can work hard and win a competition that involves other countries as well ... WELL DONE ENGLAND!!!

anyone who really understands cricket would know one of the main reasons England beat Aus is because they took a hammering from pakistan in the the semis albiet Pakistan lost but that was only down to the last 2 overs of the game the rest of the game pakistan ran them ragged so basically Pakistan made it easy for England i also beleive if Pakistan would have made the Final they would have given England are far tougher game PS i say ENGLAND really we should call them SOUTHAFLAND because theyre not really english are they

Nigel Barriball says...
Lets not tarnish a superb tournament played by England. So a few players wanted to play for England, instead of SA or Ireland. Why not vent your narrow minded views at the County Academies who are obviously not producing enough quality young cricketers even after all the money currently being pumped into the game. Both my boys play county standard cricket, but cricket is not on their school curriculum at their state school - you have to attend a private school to get that. We will have more chance of having an 'English' team if the sport was available to the masses at a younger age.

i wish people would stop complaining about the whole "South African England Players" thing. Kevin Pietersen does have an english parent as far as i'm aware and left South Africa because he was a victim of the positive discrimination in South Africa. As for the likes of Trott and Kiesweter, they have learnt their trade in England therefore they would feel more English than South African.

Waselighted for the England team on winning the T20. They have played excellent cricket throughout the tournament & are thoroughly deserved winners. To pick up on the 2 debating issues - I'm not convinced Ireland would've chased down that total on that wicket, having failed so dismally against the Windies in their other match, so to say otherwise is pure speculation as it is about the England v WI match. Also nationaility - all the 'so called' South Africans, and I include Strauss & Prior in this as they are often bracketed accordingly, in the England set up have 1 English parent. It only becomes an issue with me when players represent 2 countries eg Kepler Wessels, Henry Paul & Riki Flutey(Rugby Union) etc. And none of the English lads have done that. Exception is Eoin Morgan but he has no opportunity to play Test Cricket for Ireland (as an associate nation) and is therefore allowed to play for 2 countries. So once again, well done England - keep up the good work.

Roshan Goonesekera says...
well done england england has at last won a world tournament in cricket. but with 1st a non english coach - the country that gave us cricket has not got a good enough coach. an academy started and brought up by an australian rod marsh. ashes in 2005 won with the help of an aussie bowling coach and a zimbagwen coach , then comes a west indian bowling coach. without the 2 south africans and the irishmen what did the players who learned the game in england do. why is everybody so excited about this win when it was england who started twenty20 and play it most they should have been winning it every year. even the country that gave us football has to have a italian coach. maybe they should get some non english to get your tennis back in to order.
Posted 11:16 18th May 2010
Andy Daley says...
I think the confusion arises here with the nationality problem. People dont understand it. If either one of your parents is of a particular nation you automatically become a citizen by descent not birthright. Therefore Pietersen and co are SA by birthright and British by descent. Hence dual nationality. Ask yourself this if these players didnt have English parents/connections would they now be living in UK?? Most probably not. There descent is the whole reason they migrated to the UK in the first place. What next Strauss(test team) left SA as a toddler and played all his cricket in England. Are we going to ask for his SA nursery reports??? As for the cricket itself, England cruised home, never seen them play so well. I think this is the turning point. The Aussies know it too.

Bobby Rea says...
Yea fair play to England glad to see another team beat Australia and bring them down a peg. But without two south African born players and the Irish lad Morgan they would have been without their best three batters. Is this really the way England want to get to the top?

haha i love reading people's bitterness on here it makes me laugh, next thing you will hear is something stupid like ryan sidebottom's great great great great great great grandad went on holiday to S Africa for a week back 1705 and that makes him not available to play for England...come on get a grip yes the batters get a mention for knocking of the runs but its the bowlers who won us alot of the games in restricting great teams like sri lanka and the aussies to below par scores for the batter to knock off, let me list them broady, sidebottom, big Tim B, swan, yardy and even wright thats a quality English bowling attack, we got robbed against west indies we were lucky against Ireland yes but then look at the results beat former wold champs pakistan beat S Africa beat new zealand and then sri lanka in the semi's then the best team in the world australia that speaks for its self, its a team of 11 ...3 S african born players 1 irishman and the 7 English players people seem to be forgetting about hummmm that makes well over half of the team English does it not??? if we did go out in the group stages no one would have said anything ......thats sour grapes i think people get over it.....were England its not gonna happen every tournament now is it , well done boys!

Time: 8:15 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Presenter: Ennio Cipani, Ph.D.
Click Here to view the scheduled events!
This three-hour workshop will cover a function-based diagnostic system for operant problem behaviors. A numerical four category diagnostic system for classifying problem behaviors (direct access; DA 1.0, direct escape; DE 3.0, socially mediated access; SMA 2.0, socially mediated escape; SME 4.0), as well as sub-categories delineating specific reinforcers under each category (e.g., SMA 2.2, peer attention) will be presented. Additionally a three category diagnostic system will be advanced for classifying replacement behaviors. The remainder of the workshop will cover how to diagnose the current strength and breadth of the replacement behavior in the repertoire of the client/child.
This three hour workshop will cover functional assessment methods that involve a manipulation of variables to demonstrate function of behavior. These methods include FAB or analogue assessment tests, trigger analysis with behavioral description (non-experimental) and in-situ hypothesis tests. The author's function-based, diagnostic classification system for target problem behaviors (Cipani & Schock, 2011) provides the framework for setting up experimental test conditions for these various methods.

Khloe Kardashian beats up Chelsea Handler on 'After Lately'Add to Favorites | After Lately
On Monday's (April 15) "After Lately," Heather McDonald takes Chelsea Handler out to dinner with ... the Kardashians. Handler is none too pleased.
"That is an Armenian ambush ... this is you setting me up with the four people I make fun of most in the world!" says Handler.
What ensues is pretty hilarious, with Kourtney Kardashian asking Chelsea, "How's the cocaine in Hollywood these days?"
And when asked by Handler how her black lover is, Khloe Kardashian answers, "Phenomenal. ... How is it being utterly alone?"
Then later, Khloe follows Chelsea into the bathroom, calls her a bully and then proceeds to beat her up and steal her dress in the bathroom stall.
Kardashian revenge?

Leland Mitchell was one of the best players ever to step onto the basketball court for the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
Even though Mitchell was performing his skill for the Bulldogs from 1961-63 and slightly before my time, all a person has to do is look through the record book to realize the impact he made at MSU.
Mitchell, 72, passed away on Saturday and his funeral will be held today at the Welch Funeral

Originally written on The Penalty Flag | Last updated 12/22/12
Adversity can be defined in many capacities. It is one of the most telling signs of a person's character and can be an indicator of who you want in your corner throughout life. Who responds to adversity the best? Vince Lombardi once said: "The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. That's the essence of it." Thomas Davis, the weak side linebacker for the Carolina Panthers, could be the poster boy for the word, "adversity." He's been knocked down to his knees and in his case, he practically lost a knee. This is a man who has had three torn ACL injuries in the past three years and is now back playing some of the best football he has ever played in his career.… Read more

Increased Online Visibility By 42% In 3 Months
Freshpet's microsites quickly began to gain traction in search results, and within a few months they were ranking on the first page of Google SERPs in all of the client's target cities.
–Sean Feiring, Project Manager
Freshpet is a national pet food company whose top priority is to create natural, healthy and fresh food for dogs and cats. Crafting recipes specifically designed for pets is their passion—and they wanted to share it with the world. To do this, Freshpet needed to increase their online presence in ten major cities in the US. They enlisted PCG Digital Marketing to help them dominate Google search results.
Before Freshpet came to PCG, they only had one website (www.freshpet.com) appearing on page one of search results. PCG's strategy included building highly targeted microsites that would appear on page one of search results for Freshpet's desired keywords. These websites included:
- Freshpet.net: humanizes the brand by showcasing the Freshpet team
- Freshpet.org: highlights Freshpet's involvement with different charities
- Freshpetfoodstores.com: helps customers locate Freshpet stores and products around the country
In just three months, Freshpet's online visibility increased nearly 50% for their top ten targeted cities. Before teaming up with PCG, Freshpet owned an average of 14% of Google page one search results for their desired cities using the keyword phrase "Freshpet in [city]." Only three months later, they dominated an average of 56% of organic listings for the same keyword phrases.

6. Do Some Math
Using a scale of one to 10, with one being the equivalent of a minor hassle and 10 being a true catastrophe, assign a number to whatever it is that's making you feel anxious. "You'll find that most problems we encounter rate somewhere in the two to five range—in other words, they're really not such a big deal," says Dr. Elkin.
7. Stop Gritting Your Teeth
Stress tends to settle in certain parts of our bodies, the jaw being one of them. When things get hectic, try this tip from Dr. Cooper: Place your index fingertips on your jaw joints, just in front of your ears; clench your teeth and inhale deeply. Hold the breath for a moment, and as you exhale say, "Ah-h-h-h," then unclench your teeth. Repeat a few times.
8. Compose a Mantra
Devise an affirmation — a short, clear, positive statement that focuses on your coping abilities. "Affirmations are a good way to silence the self-critical voice we all carry with us that only adds to our stress," Dr. Elkin says. The next time you feel as if your life is one disaster after another, repeat 10 times, "I feel calm. I can handle this."
9. Check Your Chi
Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is a 5,000-year-old Chinese practice designed to promote the flow of chi, the vital life force that flows throughout the body, regulating its functions. Qigong master Ching-Tse Lee, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at Brooklyn College in New York, recommends this calming exercise: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and parallel. Bend your knees to a quarter-squat position (about 45 degrees) while keeping your upper body straight. Observe your breathing for a couple of breaths. Inhale and bring your arms slowly up in front of you to shoulder height with your elbows slightly bent. Exhale, stretching your arms straight out. Inhale again, bend your elbows slightly and drop your arms down slowly until your thumbs touch the sides of your legs. Exhale one more time, then stand up straight.
10. Be a Fighter
"At the first sign of stress, you often hear people complain, 'What did I do to deserve this?'" says Dr. Cooper. The trouble is, feeling like a victim only increases feelings of stress and helplessness. Instead, focus on being proactive. If your flight gets canceled, don't wallow in self-pity. Find another one. If your office is too hot or too cold, don't suffer in silence. Call the building manager and ask what can be done to make things more comfortable.
