Outreach and engagement
As the public outreach arm of the UNC-Chapel Hill Center for Environmental Health and Susceptibility, the Community Outreach and Engagement Core (COEC) translates Center research into knowledge that can be used to improve public health across North Carolina and the United States. The COEC also actively strives to build its capacity to educate the community about how individual and group susceptibilities interact with environmental factors to cause disease.
More than 1 million North Carolina adult and youth residents have been diagnosed with asthma. It is the most common chronic disease among children and a primary reason for school absences.
Through collaboration with members of the CEHS Pulmonary Disease research group and the Stakeholder Advisory Board, the COEC provides the following tools to inform public health professionals and the public about air pollution and health:
- A 1- to 2-hour interactive workshop for community audiences that explores the connection between asthma, allergies and air quality.
- A 3-hour train-the-trainer session for public health professionals, which provides activities and materials that can be used with patients addressing asthma.
- An asthma awareness public service announcement (PSA) produced by the CEHS Community Outreach and Engagement Core (COEC) and the UNC School of Journalism.

Breast cancer
More than 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the United States. As the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women, this disease takes 40,000 lives annually.
In collaboration with members of the CEHS Environmental Cancer research group and the Stakeholder Advisory Board, the COEC has developed the following tools to inform women about breast cancer risk and ways to reduce risk:
- A 1- to 2-hour interactive workshop that provides hands-on activities and educational materials about genetic and environmental influences on breast cancer.
- A web site that highlights African American women's breast cancer risk by leading women through a series of questions about breast cancer risk and suggesting preventive measures. It also includes videos of younger African American women discussing breast cancer and is a joint effort with the UNC Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program (BCERP).

Healthy Homes
Approximately two-thirds of U.S. families live in a home with at least one health hazard. This problem is compounded with most small children spending 70% of their day inside their homes.
The COEC works with the CEHS Pulmonary Disease and Metals-Induced research groups, as well as national and state health and housing agencies, to develop and provide the following trainings that inform professionals and the public about hazards that exist in homes:
- A 2-hour interactive workshop for community audiences that gives an overview of hazards in homes that affect human health.
- A 3-hour train-the-trainer session for health and housing professionals that prepares them to conduct outreach with community audiences about common health hazards that exist in homes.
- A 7-hour training, certified by the National Center for Healthy Housing, which informs community health workers who make home visits and provide advice to residents about hazards that exist in their homes.
In addition, the COEC partnered with Morehead Planetarium and Science Center to develop the curriculum for "Our Air, Our Water, Our Homes," for the 2013 SciVentures summer camp. Participants in this week-long summer camp learned about the spread of contaminants in communities and homes and ways to prevent them through hands-on activities and experiences.
Additional resources
The rate of obesity in the U.S. has tripled in the past 30 years, and there are more than 300,000 obesity-related deaths each year.
The COEC collaborates with investigators in the CEHS Obesity research group and our community partners to develop and provide the following trainings about genetic and environmental influences upon obesity and steps they can take to prevent it:
- A 1- to 2-hour interactive workshop for community audiences, which includes hands-on activities and educational materials that explain obesity risk and suggest preventive measures.
- A 3-hour train-the-trainer session that provides presentation slides, lessons for hands-on activities, and educational materials for public health professionals and informal educators who work with youth and/or adult community audiences.

Shale gas
High-volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing (HVHF, often referred to as "hydrofracking" or "fracking") is a drilling technology in which water mixed with sand and chemicals is injected into drilled wells to enhance the extraction of natural gas from deep shale formations. This technique has vastly increased the potential for domestic natural gas production, and has been promoted as a way to decrease dependence on foreign energy sources, replace dirtier energy sources like coal, and generate new jobs and economic development. However, the rapid expansion of shale gas extraction has resulted in documented impacts on human health and raised concerns about long-term, cumulative, and intergenerational impacts on individuals and communities. Research is ongoing to determine how human health, particularly that of vulnerable populations such as children and low-income rural populations, might be negatively impacted.
The UNC-CH COEC staff has partnered with colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania, University of Cincinnati and University of Rochester to assess community information needs and understand the factors that affect the public's perception of risk related to shale gas extraction. The following projects have been funded through supplemental grants by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS):
- 2012: "Health and Hydrofracking: Comparative Assessment of Community Information Needs"
- 2013: "Risk Perception about Hydraulic Fracturing in Eastern States"
The UNC COEC collaborated with colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania to develop the following resources for NIEHS:
- Podcast: A Second Look at the Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing
- Factsheet: Hydraulic Fracturing and Health
Several Centers funded by the NIEHS to work on projects related to shale gas extraction formed a working group to review the literature on the potential public health impacts of HVHF and to make recommendations for needed research. These recommendations can be found in "Environmental Health Research Recommendations from the Inter-Environmental Health Sciences Core Center Working Group on Unconventional Natural Gas Drilling Operations," published in Environmental Health Perspectives in July 2014.
In addition, the UNC COEC collaborated with University of Cincinnati to conduct a community information needs assessment in order to integrate community leaders' knowledge, perceptions, and concerns into the research agenda prior to initiation of local unconventional natural gas development. A summary of the assessment and its implications can be found in "Unconventional natural gas development and public health: toward a community-informed research agenda," published in Reviews in Environmental Health in April 2015.
Skin cancer
Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States, with more than two million people diagnosed each year.
With supplemental funding from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to support the project titled ""Oncogenic BRAF Puts Developing Nevi at Risk," the COEC staff works with investigators in the CEHS Environmental Cancer research group and community partners to develop educational materials and conduct the following resources, aimed at informing the public about risk factors for skin cancer and steps for reducing risk:
- A 1- to 2-hour train-the-trainer session, conducted by CEHS researchers and COEC staff, which builds the capacity of public health professionals, school nurses and childcare providers to educate community audiences about skin cancer risk and sun safety techniques.
- A public service announcement (PSA) that highlights steps people of all backgrounds should take to reduce exposure to UV radiation and their risk for skin cancer.
- A one-hour webinar titled "Childhood Sun Damage and Melanoma Risk: Understanding the Environmental Health Research and Clinical Application" in which a cancer researcher and a pediatric dermatologist discuss the latest research on childhood sun damage, melanoma risk, and how this research can be applied in clinical and educational settings to protect children and youth from this disease into their adulthood. The recorded webinar is now available for viewing.

Re: ipad mini screen not working?? in response to miloamy
Holding the top and home buttons together is called resetting. Since that didn't work, the next step would be to try a restore. You do that by plugging it in to iTunes, but you already said you don't get a visual response doing that either.
So I recommend trying recovery which is described here:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
You may have to try recovery mode a few times before it finally works.

Re: ipad mini screen not working?? in response to sberman
Hi, thanks for replying sberman,
I tried connecting to itunes and restoring. Itunes said it restored it but I still have a blank screen. I'm having trouble trying the recovery mode because my screen is blank. I cant tell if my device is off or on - nothing appears on my screen. So when following the steps to "slide to power off" or look for the "connect to itunes" prompt etc. my screen is just blank so I dont even know how to go about putting it into recovery mode I'm so frustrated this ipad is brand new! Im thinking that the screen must be faulty or something because I can still talk to siri and when I hook it up to itunes I can still transfer stuff onto it and it seems to be functioning that way. I think the "brain" of the ipad is working just not the screen. I think I may just have to take it back to Best Buy and see if they can do anything for me So disappointed in you Apple! This is the first time I have ever had a problem with one of their products.
sberman Apr 30, 2013 6:49 PM
Re: ipad mini screen not working?? in response to miloamy
Are you near an Apple Retail Store? I suggest trying that, and setting up a Genius Bar appointement instead of going to Best Buy. Your iPad is still under warranty. Here's how to find a store:
Click the "make a reservation" link at the top right, then choose "Genius Bar". You might take your sales receipt with you if you have it, though it shouldn't really matter because the iPad Mini has not been out for a year yet.

Why Use Natural Forms of Salicylic Acid for Acne Prone Skin?
Salicylic acid has been one of the most popular over-the-counter acne treatments in use today. It boasts many medicinal and cosmetic applications, one of which is for the treatment of blemishes and acne prone skin. Salicylic acid is usually prescribed for mild to moderate acne and can be quite damaging to skin in all honesty. I don't recommend using it if you're into curing your acne holistically, but don't fret, there are a few effective and 100% natural alternatives that come from your kitchen fruit bowl.
How Does Salicylic Acid Work?
Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid with mildly exfoliating properties. When you use anything that contains it topically, fruit included, it gently thins out the dermal layer by increasing cell turnover. Salicylic acid also dissolves blackheads, which makes it pretty handy to use if you're suffering from comedonal acne; non-inflamed acne that is mostly caused by skin care products.
You've Got Fruit on Your Face
All right, so we're going for a double whammy on acne today! Actually, I'll be sharing part 2 in my next post, so here's part one to get you started.
Why Use Fruit Instead of Conventional Salicylic Acid?
Most conventional salicylic acid treatments available over the counter contain 2% (sometimes more) of salicylic acid, plus several other ingredients that I would rather not put on my skin. The strength of these crèmes and gels loosen keratin quite a bit more harshly than natural alternatives, causing excessive skin peeling, mild to moderate burning, and reddening of the skin. This can actually cause more acne, the exact opposite of what we're trying to accomplish.
Using fruit instead will gently exfoliate the skin. Aside from the more acidic nature of green apple and tomato, the fruit I mention below will soften, nourish, decrease inflammation and redness, and exfoliate the skin. They are packed full of nutrients like vitamins A, C, and B, phenols, and flavonoids. Try finding those in an over the counter salicylic acid gel… not gonna happen!
After trying these natural remedies, your blemishes should be gone or at least greatly diminished after 2-3 days.
Part One- Replacing Conventional Salicylic Acid with Natural Awesome-osity!
Choosing fruit with high salicylic acid content can be a bit tricky. One would think that citrus fruits like lemon or lime might have the highest amounts of salicylic acid when they really have almost the least amount. So I've compiled a simple list of fruits that have the most bang.
Now on to the fruit!
Raspberries– Mash em' up and slather them on.
Granny Smith Apples– Rub a slice all over your face, mash it up, or juice it and apply.
Cucumber– Juice or mash it up and apply generously. This works well for redness too!
Cantaloupe– Works best juiced or blended. Apply a nice layer to thirsty blemished skin.
Strawberries– Take a bite from a strawberry and rub the remaining strawberry piece all over problem areas. You can also smash it up, apply it, and use its seedy juice to exfoliate. Leave the juice on to reap the clarifying benefits.
Tomatoes– Rub a slice of tomato on blemishes to dissolve blackheads.
Red Grapes– Bite one in half and apply it to affected areas.
How long do you Keep the Fruit Juice on?
I like to keep it on for at least 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly, however, for the green apple treatment, I will only leave it on for about 5 minutes due to its acidity. Acidity= not so comfortable for sensitive skin. However, green apple is one of the most effective salicylic acid fruit remedies I've used, so more often than not, I apply the juice with a q-tip to problem areas only. You can actually do this with any of the fruits I've mentioned above if you don't want to wear them as a full fruit mask.
I hope you have fun trying out a few natural salicylic acid replacements that are actually effective AND good for your skin.
Oh! And here's part 2 =)

Prior to joining sp3 Diamond Technologies, he was president and CEO of QuickSilver Technology, Inc. as well as C SPEED Corporation. During a 16-year tenure with Mitsubishi Electronics America, Aidala held several executive management positions, including vice president of marketing for the electronics device group, and vice president and general manager for the North American multimedia business center. He has also held several key executive management positions at NEC Electronics and began his career at Arthur D. Little. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and an MBA from Northeastern University.
Van Dorsten will fulfill Herlinger's responsibility as Chairman of the Board for sp3 Inc. He has been a board member of sp3 Inc. since the company was founded, and serves on the compensation and audit committees. Currently, he is president and CEO of van Dorsten and Co., a consulting firm focused on providing strategy and financial consulting services to small technology companies. Prior to that, van Dorsten spent a number of years in the financial services industry in equity research. His most recent position was director of research for Wells Fargo Securities. He has written on a wide range of technology companies for several firms, including Hambrecht & Quist, Lehman Brothers and Thomas Weisel Partners (where he was a founding partner in research). Before his tenure in the securities industry, van Dorsten worked at Booz, Allen and Hamilton in the technology consulting practice, focusing primarily on strategy and M&A assignments. His professional career started at Texas Instruments, where he was a microprocessor design engineer. Van Dorsten holds a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from State University of New York at Buffalo and an MBA from Houston Baptist University. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst.

So, George Takei called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas a "clown in blackface" for writing the following passage in his dissent on last week's historic gay marriage ruling: Human dignity has long been understood in this country to be innate. When the Framers proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence that "all men are created equal" and "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights," they referred to a vision of mankind in which all humans are created in the image of God and therefore of inherent worth. That vision is the foundation upon which this Nation was built. The corollary of that principle is that human dignity cannot be taken away by the government. Slaves did not lose their dignity (any more than they lost their humanity) because the government allowed them to be enslaved. Those held in internment camps did not lose their dignity because the government confined them. »

"Star Trek" actor George Takei doesn't believe Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas deserves his seat on the bench. "He is a clown in blackface sitting on the Supreme Court," Takei said in an interview with Fox 10 in Phoenix. "I mean, this man does not belong in the Supreme Court. He is an embarrassment. He is a disgrace to America." Takei's comments are in response to Thomas' dissent in Friday's Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage.

The documentary, called "For the Love of Spock," has a Kickstarter page with a goal of $600,000. So far, 6,830 backers have pledged just under $490,000. The project will only be funded, it states, if $600K is pledged by Wednesday, July 1. That's less than a week away, so time is running out. Part of the deadline is due to the goal that both Adam and his father had of releasing the doc in time for the 50th anniversary of the original "Star Trek" series in 2016.
Here's Adam's description of how the campaign started:
Last year, just before Thanksgiving, I approached my dad, Leonard Nimoy, about the possibility of working together on a film about Mr. Spock. I had skimmed through some of the books »

The Supreme Court of the United States ruled on Friday that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right for every American, regardless of what state they live in, and people have taken to social media to share in the love. "Oh Happy Day!" former "Star Trek" star George Takei, a well-known Lgbt activist, wrote on Facebook. "The Supreme Court has ruled 5-4 that marriage equality is the law of the United States. Yes, All of these United States. I have waited decades for this day, and my heart is full of joy and my eyes wet with tears. Let the celebrations. »

George Takei has been a leading advocate for Lgbt rights since he announced to the world he was a gay man in 2005. Best known for his role playing Starship Enterprise helmsman Hikaru Sulu in the beloved "Star Trek" TV series and through six films, Takei reports he's more in demand than ever after kicking open the closet door.
Variety spoke with the actor in the weeks leading up to the Supreme Court's landmark ruling on Friday that legalizes gay marriage nationwide. At the time, Takei, who is married to Brad Altman, said he was "optimistic" the court would endorse same-sex couples' right to wed. He also talked about his years in the closet and the reaction "Star Trek" fans had to the news he was a gay man.

On Monday, legendary film composer James Horner died in a plane crash near Santa Barbara in which he was apparently piloting. Horner, who composed classic films such as Aliens, Avatar, Apollo 13 and Titanic touched millions of people around the world with his unforgettable scores.
Céline Dion, who sang "My Heart Will Go On" co-written by Horner for the movie Titanic, said:
"Rene and I are deeply saddened by the tragic death of James Horner. He will always remain a great composer in our hearts. James played an important part in my career. We will miss him. We offer his family and friends our deepest sympathy."
Fellow composer Alexandre Desplat (The Grand Budapest Hotel) had this to say about Horner:

Adam Nimoy has been chatting about a new documentary, that'll pay tribute to his father, and to the character of Mr Spock.
Before his death back in February, the wonderful Leonard Nimoy had been working with his son, Adam, on a documentary by the name of For The Love Of Spock. The film is charting the story of the character across nearly five decades, and what made him so special, and as Adam Nimoy has said, "the inspiration was the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series, which is coming up next year. I had read a number of books on the making of Star Trek and just felt that there was a lot that was missing about the creation and evolution of Spock that we should re-tell in film form". His father agreeed.

In June 1990, many Trekkies considered the crew of the Enterprise-d pretenders to the throne. Star Trek: The Next Generation was closing out its third season, and it was still struggling to step out of the shadow of Kirk's (William Shatner) Enterprise. That was about to change thanks to a daring cliffhanger pulled off in an era of television in which shocking deaths and major plot twists weren't par for the course. When "Best of Both Worlds: Part I" aired 25 years ago this week, it was truly jarring to fans. The season three finale saw the return of The

Brandi Glanville sat down with William Shatner for the latest episode of Brown Bag Wine Tasting—and in true Glanville fashion, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star didn't hold back. "I just broke up with my boyfriend on the way here, via text," the 42-year-old reality star begins the conversation. "Why did you break up?" Shatner asks to which Glanville replies, "He was annoying me." From there, the conversation only got more entertaining as the 84-year-old Star Trek star and the Bravo beauty chatted about wine, breakups, sex and of course, reality television.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville told William Shatner that she went through a grieving phase after her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian cheated on her with multiple women, including, most infamously, LeAnn Rimes. The reality star, 42, appeared on Ora TV's Brown Bag Wine Tasting with the Star Trek actor, where she was asked some rather intimate questions about her former marriage. "He had extra girlfriends, I guess you can say," she said of Cibrian's affairs. "He had some ladies on the side." Aside from Rimes, Cibrian [...] »

William Shatner is set to boldly go riding across the country in a way he has never boldly gone riding before. And you may get to watch his trek on TV. The 84-year-old actor, best known for playing Captain James T. Kirk in the original Star Trek series and movies, will ride a custom-made, 3-wheeled Rivet motorcycle, or "trike," from Chicago to Los Angeles. He will take the vehicle, which he helped design, on the famed Route 66 highway for most of the 8-day, 2,400-mile journey. His trek is aimed at promoting the new vehicle, which looks completely insane—like something Batman would ride, and raising awareness for American Legion, the United States' biggest veterans organization.

Actress Nichelle Nichols, known to legions of fans as the original Lt. Uhura from the "Star Trek" series, suffered a mild stroke at her Los Angeles home on Wednesday night, but appears to be doing well after a series of tests at a local hospital.
A rep for Nichols, Zach McGinnis, announced the news on Nichols's Facebook page early Thursday, writing that the actress "is currently undergoing testing to determine how severe the stroke was. Please keep her in your thoughts." Despite that scare, those tests appear to have gone well, and McGinnis updated Nichols's Facebook page later in the day. He wrote:
Nichelle Nichols has had both a Cat scan and an Mri today. The Cat scan came back negative and we are awaiting the results from the Mri. Currently she is awake, eating, in good spirits and able to have full conversations. Her right side has shown minor »

Wow. This is a most excellent, and well thought out, designed and developed theme. I've been using another theme but it is not nearly as easy to use as Impero. Your documentation is so clear, and all the elements work as they should. From Reno, Nevada..I say..THANK YOU !!!
I have just purchased for this new beauty theme you have designed for us. I honestly believe you are an amazing designer and I LOVE your sense of style. Looking forward to using your new gift and hoping if I encounter anything I need help with that will go a bit more smoothly. Thanks for the all the customizable options with this one!

Food Film Festival
13 Mar 12
After an encouraging first edition in 2011, the Food Film Festival is back this year from March 16-18 at Studio/K in Amsterdam thanks to the efforts of the Slow Food Youth Food Movement Netherlands.
Festival events include screenings of food-related films, cooking classes, concerts, a farmers' market and an art and design program. This year's theme, in perfect harmony with October's Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre, is Food for Change, in the belief that an informed and positive approach to food is the first step towards more sustainable production. In particular, there will be a focus on the attempt to build closer relationships between city and countryside, something which is essential to our future and the need for local and seasonal consumption to become widespread.
At the Studio/K restaurant, young chefs will be preparing sustainable and seasonal dishes, using local ingredients and putting theory into practice.
The program includes over 20 films, 12 seminars and 7 special events.

And that's one reason why they're winning most of the time.
Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk, combined to score on the New Orleans Saints with a new kind of draw play.
On first and goal at the New Orleans six-yard line, quarterback Warner, football in hand, raised his arm high to throw a slant pass, seemingly, then pulled it down and slipped the ball to running back Faulk, who slithered easily into the end zone.
It was perhaps the most complete draw-play fake ever made.
And at the time, the Rams needed it, or seemed to, after a 15-12 first half.
But as they won for the ninth time in 11 starts, the rest was a rout in a game that ended 43-12.
The Case for Misdirection
During the mid-century years when former Ram coach Clark Shaughnessy invented the modern T formation, his running game was based on two-back deception.
On most plays, by design, Shaughnessy's quarterback faked a handoff to the fullback before handing off to a halfback.
Or he handed off first and then faked.
By contrast in recent years, most NFL coaches have focused increasingly on one featured running back, usually an I-formation tailback running with Spartan simplicitly behind a blocking fullback.
This year the Rams have brought back Shaughnessy's two-back artistry, and that's another explanation for their success.
On offense, they keep attacking aggressively with misdirection plays involving Faulk and underrated fullback Robert Holcombe.
For instance, as the Saints chased Faulk after fake handoffs or pitches Sunday, Holcombe ran for several first downs and a touchdown, proving again that deception in football can be more powerful than a power play.
They're Aiming at the Rams
Surprising the league, the 1999 Rams have started so fast, and have generally scored so handily, that every opponent has been studying them in detail and devising new ways to slow them down with new kinds of blitzes and other defensive schemes.

Disco Ball Wallpaper HD Live, inspired by new LG G3 smoke background with floating particles. A disco ball also known as a mirror ball or glitter ball is a roughly spherical object that reflects light directed at it in many directions, producing a complex display. Its surface consists of hundreds or thousands of facets, nearly all of approximately the same shape and size, and each having a mirrored surface. Usually it is mounted well above the heads of the people present, suspended from a device that causes it to rotate steadily on a vertical axis, and illuminated by spotlights, so that stationary viewers experience beams of light flashing over them, and see myriad spots of light spinning around the walls of the room. A mirrored ball can be seen above the bandstand in this 1919 photo of the Louisiana Five jazz band. What are now sometimes called disco balls were first widely used in nightclubs in the 1920s.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Zenith Technologies, LLC (www.mysoniclean.com) today announces its founder Mark Bosses will appear live on multichannel electronic retailer ShopNBC February 15, throughout all of Presidents Day weekend, to demonstrate Soniclean -- an innovative vacuum cleaner that utilizes sonic technology. Bosses developed the new vacuum to make it easier to loosen and remove microscopic particles embedded in rugs and carpets.
"My appearance on the national television network ShopNBC is in line with my goal to educate America that there is a revolutionary new way to vacuum, thanks to sonic technology which provides unparalleled cleaning effectiveness," said Bosses.
With more than 30 years of experience in the vacuum cleaning industry, Bosses has invented what many consider as one of the most powerful and effective vacuums available in the market today. Backed by numerous patents, the Soniclean Vacuum can lift particles from rugs and carpets that are as large as 100 microns in size – which are difficult to remove with traditional vacuum cleaners.
Soniclean, which premieres on ShopNBC Friday, February 15, will feature Bosses demonstrating to viewers how Soniclean's light-weight, low-profile vacuum cleans under beds and couches, while bringing a whole new dimension to the term 'deep clean' as it pulsates at approximately 12,000 vibrations per minute, loosening embedded dirt as never before. Bosses also will explain how Soniclean pulsates at such a high frequency; it dislodges not only embedded dirt, but also helps brings microscopic particles to the surface. The highlight of the presentation will be a jaw-dropping demonstration of the vacuum's suction, in that it's powerful enough for the vacuum to stick on walls or lift 150 lbs. or almost 15 times its own weight.

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

After serving their country, the least veterans deserve is a place to live and help transitioning back to civilian life. Yet 1 in 4 homeless people in this country are veterans. Imagine an alternative, a place where at least 400 homeless veterans can get education, training, and a shelter focused on meeting their needs. Knoxville, Iowa could make that a reality with the creation of National Veterans Recovery Center.
The proposed location is a former veterans' hospital that boasts 163 acres and 39 buildings, plenty of space for on-site training and treatment, and possibly enough space to offer more beds after the center establishes itself. Each veteran would be able to stay for up to two years. Unfortunately, the veterans' organization isn't the only group with an eye on leasing the property. An investor group and a college are also interested in securing the government's long-term lease. Let's make sure the National Veterans Recovery Center finds a home and that homeless veterans get the center they deserve.
Please assist Bob Krause as he spearheads this project. Accept the veterans group's bid on the property. And tell the nation that in Knoxville, Iowa, the well-being of veterans matters.

'Fast & Furious 8' Will Be Set in New York City, Says Vin Diesel
Vin Diesel, he of the bulging biceps, shiny scalp and low vocal register, has been making the press rounds for Furious 7 over the past few weeks. Considering just how crazy his new movie is, he sure has a lot to talk about. But even the unlimited number of potential conversation topics to mined from the insanity of the seventh film in the Fast and Furious saga couldn't stop him from teasing the eighth film in the franchise, which may be set in New York City.
Weekend Box Office Report: The Box Office Goes 'Home'
In one of the strongest box office weekends of 2015 so far, both Home and Get Hard opened strong while Insurgent and Cinderella continued to perform well. This was the rare weekend that literally offered something for everyone, with R-rated comedies and animated family fare exceeding expectations.
Steven Spielberg Set to Direct 'Ready Player One'
Well, this was unexpected. After a few years of development, Warner Bros. is officially moving forward with a big screen adaptation of Ernest Cline's Ready Player One and they're doing so with the director most likely to break the brains of the novel's biggest fans: Steven Spielberg. Yes, Spielberg is going to direct a science fiction story powered by raw '80s nostalgia for the same studio where he produced Gremlins and The Goonies.
How 'Furious 7' Created a Digital Paul Walker For His Unfinished Scenes
When Paul Walker tragically passed away midway through the production of Furious 7, Universal and director James Wan faced a difficult task. Do they scuttle the film or charge ahead, using rewrites and body doubles to finish Walker's performance? They ultimately went with the latter option but refused to go into any details. Now, a new report confirms that a digitally recreated Walker appears in the film and that he was brought to life by the same company that made Gollum in The Lord of the Rings and Caesar in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Insurgent' Can't Beat 'Divergent' Opening
What does a movie studio want out of its sequels? Is a sequel a failure if it simply matches its predecessor or does it need to make more money?

So is Insurgent a success or a disappointment?
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Cinderella' Reigns Supreme as Liam Neeson Turns Into a Pumpkin

Yes, it even took down that might spring movie season titan Liam Neeson.
Liam Neeson Says He's Ready to Quit Action Movies
With Taken, Liam Neeson became an unlikely action star, with his quiet, solemn masculinity lending gravitas to even the silliest dialogue and story beats. But rather than use the success of that instantly meme-able film as an excuse to pursue more period dramas and British weepies, Neeson embraced his newfound action hero identity. Now, after seven years of snapping necks and gunning people down across several continents, it looks like he's ready to retire from the action hero game for good.

So, in honor of the man's 75th birthday, let's all take a moment to enjoy a video supercut of Norris kicking people and things.
SNL Gathers the Four Hemsworth Brothers Together to Answer Some Questions
Whenever SNL breaks out the "guest host answers audience questions" template for the opening monologue, it feels like a sign that the writers waited until the last possible moment to write this bit and couldn't come up with anything better. And yet, when they use this formula for Chris Hemsworth, it works for one reason and one reason alone: their guest host has a couple of famous (and not-so-famous) brothers who can join him on stage.

Each of the 25 recordings employs a radio show format, possibly because these were all radio recordings originally.

The BLM is required to address impacts to wildlands and wildlife habitat on our public lands from major transmission development. The agency can do so by selecting routes that avoid sensitive areas or offsetting unavoidable impacts by protecting nearby lands.
