I bought the 4 for $4 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks today and used 2 .50/2 coupons from a recent paper and it took off 3 .50/1 and 2 .40/1 e-coupons that I had loaded onto my card….so my total for 4 boxes was 70 CENTS!!! thank you, thank you, thank you, Kerri, for making it so I can shop at Vons now instead of icky WinCo!! I will be forever grateful! :)
♥ Cheri
Can I use an ecoupon, a store coupon and a man. coupon on one item?
Vons has a similar deal w/ juice last week and was a hassel! buy 4 get 4$ off. So 1.50 for each I believe. I wanted to buy 6 items but of diffrient brands, I checked with someone on the sales floor to make sure I could buy more than 4 he said yes. No where did it state a limit. When I got to the register some items didn't ring up at sale price, then it charged me reg on my 2 "extra" items. So I told checker I would buy 2 more to even things out. Then it wouldn't give me the "sale" on my 2nd set of 4 w/ my vons card, So moral of my story is watch very carefully at checkout, the computers don't seem to be on the same "page" as the staff on the sale. Good luck!
Just stumbled upon this site after doing a google search for Vons deals. IT'S AWESOME! Thanks for all your hard work putting these deals together. Kind of reminds me of the "old days" when Vons doubled….
There is a new coupon book out that I found today at my Safeway. It is called Make It Tonight they are all Safeway (Randalls, VONS ect) coupons, I found mine on an end cap.

But they have a few great coupons.$.75/1 Progresso soup – with cuopons out there you can get two for free, $3/10 Rice Roni, $0.55/1 Hambuger Helpers, $1.00/2 Ragu.

Samsung Galaxy owners, may it be a Samsung Galaxy S3, Note 2 or any other latest Galaxy smartphone, would have noticed face-tags on their Android smartphones particularly in Gallery app. If these face-tags annoy you, then here is a way to disable face-tags on various Galaxy devices. If you're not yet pretty sure about what I'm talking about then let me point them out through images (present at the end of the article). These are the squared boxes with a yellow outline which on the tap allows you to add a tag. The feature looks cool and pleasant till the time it doesn't blocks the images or particular portion of the image. So, here is how to disable face-tags on galaxy devices.
Disable Face-tags on various Samsung Galaxy Devices
- Launch Gallery app from programs menu

text: I had a wii till Sep 2008. I sold it because I wasnt interested in any of the games that were out or coming out. I used to play the hell out of wii sports though and was the Tennis champion at work and in my friend's circle. Last week, at our annual office party, boss got out his wii and it was a tennis tournament and this time I got knocked out in the second game I played. I felt miserable. Now I am almost considering getting another wii just to improve my wii sports skills. I also tried out the wii fit thing and it felt great. Just for those 2 should I spend another 400 bucks?

It's not easy to name a company or product. I should know. We do it all the time at Ideasicle. To start with, there are so many kinds of names, from the meaningless (e.g. Verizon) to the whimsical (e.g. Apple) to the descriptive (e.g., G. I. Joe With Kung-Fu Grip) to everything in-between. Naming is a delicate exercise in balancing truth, strategy, creativity and, hopefully, relevance to those one is trying to allure.
Not to mention the issues of trademarking and "urling" the name, both tough hoops to clear these days.
But recently a name came through all that rigor and process that left me scratching my head. A name that on the surface seems pretty forward thinking, cool, and maybe even fresh. But at a deeper level says to me: "Move along. Nothing to see here."
That name is "Pepsi Next."
I mean, I see why Pepsi named it "Next." It passes the obvious strategic filter of positioning this "between-calorie" soda as the next best thing. But I believe, in so doing, it also positions the soda as barely here.
When something is "next," according to the dictionary, it is: "Occurring directly in time after the present or most recent one, without anything of the same kind intervening." So, given that definition, Pepsi Next might happen sometime in the future while you're busy drinking a Coke, the real thing.
Because when it's next, it's never, ever, ever here. By definition.
Now, I wouldn't bring this up if it were a first-time thing. But the fact is, Pepsi has a history of staking claims on the untenable future in their communications. And, in these attempts to instantly leapfrog Coke with claims of shine and promise, they risk leapfrogging relevance in the process.
Like "Generation Next." There's that word again, but remember that one?
Or "The taste that's generations ahead." Great for my kids' kids' kids, I guess.
Or even "The choice of a new generation." Successful campaign, I'll grant them that (but mostly because of the Pepsi Challenge that preceded it, in my opinion). But for fun, pretend it's 1984 again, and imagine the logic of "The choice of a new generation" as dramatized by the following inner monologue of a 22 year old:
"Okay, Pepsi is saying they're the choice of a new generation.
Cool, I guess, but I am alive right now in a current generation.
Therefore, Pepsi must not be for me."
Now, I tend to over think things. That's my job. Most people aren't going to literally have that inner monologue, or be quite as aware of the multiple meanings of things. But when your goal is to appeal to the middle of the bell curve with a ubiquitous product like soda, a product whose taste profile is virtually identical across competitors, these finer, unintended meanings in a name or tag line risk precious points of share in the marketplace.
The alternative? Well, to be relevant today requires committing to a brand idea today. It requires being something versus simply claiming something.
Which begs the question. Who are you, Pepsi? As in, right now. Not next week or generations from now. What is your brand about today?
The answer to that question, ironically, might just make Pepsi the next best thing.

WVU Completes Day One at NCAA Regionals
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia senior Chelsea Carrier-Eades advanced to the finals of the long jump, closing out day one of the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field East Regional, Thursday.
Carrier-Eades finished the preliminary round in 13th place with a jump of 6.15 meters to advance to the finals, in which only the top 16 advance with the chance at three more attempts. Carrier reached 5.89 meters on her fourth attempt, 6.09 on her second and 5.98 on her final attempt, which maintained her 13th place finish, falling one place shy of advancing to the NCAA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa.
"The long jump was a bittersweet event for us," coach Sean Cleary said. "While all three jumpers placed much higher than they came in ranked, we did believe that all three had a shot to move on to the finals in Iowa."
Fellow classmate Meghan Mock finished 23rd in the preliminaries with a jump of 5.97 meters, while sophomore Stormy Nesbit reached 5.78 meters for 35th place in the initial round.
"Stormy has another shot in the triple jump, but for Meg this was the end of a wonderful career with numerous top-three BIG EAST finishes and two trips to the NCAA Championships. We are all so proud of this young woman's career and the memories she leaves behind," Cleary said. "Chels will be back in the hurdles tomorrow. There is no doubt that she will be back ready to go."
Senior Stephanie Caruso finished 41st in the 10,000-meter run with a time of 37:37.23.
Day two of the NCAA Regional, held at the University of North Florida, begins Friday, May 25, with field events. Katlyn Shelar will open the day for WVU at 11 a.m. with the pole vault and Sydney Cummings will compete in the high jump at 5 p.m. Carrier-Eades and Chene Townsend will take on the first round of the 100-meter hurdles at 5:30 p.m., while Jordan Hamric will close out the day with the 3,000-steeplechase at 9:30 p.m.

MCSO arrest exposes false mediation, child supervision service
The arrest of a Valley couple by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office points to a potentially serious problem within Arizona's family court system.
"There appears to be very little checks and balances with anyone who wants to be certified as a court-appointed provider of these types of services, whether it's psychiatric care for children, or managing visitation rights, and so and so forth," said Sgt. Brandon Jones with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
Today, armed with a search warrant, deputies moved in on a residence and business,Legacy Family and Children's Services, owned and operated by Ciara and Michael Coultrap of Mesa. It's alleged that that the couple "defrauded the Maricopa County court system, as well as dozens of families, by improperly providing child custody mediation services for which they are not professionally qualified."
"It's scary. I don't know what type of things these people have put the children through. It's just sad to use children for personal gain," said Jones.
According to MCSO, Ciara Coultrap pretended to be a professional therapist with a doctoral degree. She and her husband have been providing mediation and supervised visitation services to the courts and county families since 2009.
It's too early in the investigation to determine just how many families have been impacted by the alleged fraudulent services of the pair and MCSO is urging anyone who may have used the couple's services to call them immediately.

A or O, but not B
The crossword puzzle clue today is "A or O, but not B". To solve this puzzle clue, we look for the similarity crossword puzzle definitions for our clue. Below are the possibilities crossword solution and answer for "A or O, but not B".
A or O, but not B :
The Oakland Athletics (usually "the A's") baseball franchise was founded back in 1901 as the Philadelphia Athletics. The team became the Kansas City Athletics in 1955 and moved to Oakland in 1968.
The Baltimore Orioles (sometimes "the O's") were one of the eight charter teams of MLB's American League, so the franchise dates back to 1901. Prior to 1901, the team has roots in the Minor League Milwaukee Brewers, and indeed entered the American League as the Brewers. In 1902 the Brewers moved to St. Louis and became the Browns. The team didn't fare well in St. Louis, so when it finally relocated to Baltimore in the early fifties the team changed its name completely, to the Baltimore Orioles. The owners so badly wanted a fresh start that they traded 17 old Browns players with the New York Yankees. The trade didn't help the team's performance on the field in those early days, but it did help distance the new team from its past.
If there is another crossword solution for A or O, but not B , feel free to leave a comment below and we will rate as the right answer for this crossword puzzle clue.

WHITEPAPER: How Women Are Shaping The Internet07/13/2011 | Krista Peck 2
Being a woman is obviously different in many ways from being a man. So, what does it mean to be a woman on the Internet today? Well, comScore asked that precise question, and answered it with a beautiful resource: Women on the Web: How Women are Shaping The Internet.
The name alone is empowering, as it indicates that women are not passive participants, but rather active players helping to forge the present and future of the World Wide Web.
comScore, a global leader in measuring the digital world and the preferred source of digital marketing intelligence, created this free 30+ page whitepaper to provide valuable insight into the world of women on the Web.
From advertisers to publishers and from content producers to agencies, nearly everyone can benefit from understanding Web usage patterns through a gender-specific lens. This global report provides an in-depth analysis of the female Internet user, highlighting key trends by Internet activity, worldwide region and digital channel.
The downloadable Women on the Web: How Women are Shaping The Internet presentation is organized well, neatly divided into the following categories:
- The Gender Divide
- Women and the Social Web
- Women and Retail
- Content for Women
- Search Activity
- Entertaining Women
- Mobile Women
The resource became available on June 30, 2010, but holds relevant information for women, brands or anyone else interested in learning how women are participating in and contributing to the internet community.
In addition to great visuals, you will find interesting key points like:
- Social networking is central to women's Internet experience.
- A growing proportion of older women are engaging in social activities on the Web.
- Photo-sharing sites are most popular among younger women, but women of all ages have embraced it as a key component of the social networking experience.
- Women drive a disproportionate amount of online spending. In the U.S. market, women make up just under half of the Internet population but generate 58 percent of e-commerce dollars.
- Women online in Asia outnumber women in North America by more than two to one.
- In regards to flash sale sites, as with group-buying sites, more than two-thirds of visitors are women.

And, you have to love when you can find a wealth of information for free.
EDITD Measures Social ROI for Fashion Brands07/06/2011 | Krista Peck
If you're looking to take the guesswork out of fashion and put the social science and stats behind your business, then metrics tools are a must-have. As fashion gets more digitally savvy, we're seeing a trend in social fashion trend monitoring.
Watch out WGSN, there's a new trend monitoring startup in town, and it's called EDITD. Signature 9 calls this London based startup the next big thing. TechCrunch tells us that the tool helps us "use technology to spot fashion trends ahead of time to enable fashion brands and retailers to be more efficient. This all sounds interesting and valuable, right?

Instagram Metrics: Check Your Photo Popularity With Statigram06/19/2011 | Macala Wright 1
Yes, we love Instagram and it's our top pick for photo sharing until we get our hands on Facebook's new mobile sharing app. Even if Facebook, Path and With give it a run for its money, we still believe that Instagram is here to stay (cool photo app integrations like the 100 Cameras in 1 app via Instrgram's API make this a reality). So of course, it wasn't going to be long before some system of photo sharing analytics hit. Given it's popularity, Instragram just got the metrics first.

A new report says the Canadian commercial real estate industry is playing catch-up with respect to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues when compared to international peers. The Canadian Commercial Real Estate Sustainability Intelligence Report, released by research firm Jantzi-Sustainalytics in association with the Real Property Association of Canada (REALpac), evaluates the ESG performance of 18 of Canada's largest commercial real estate companies and compares them to some of their international counterparts.
"REALpac is pleased with the efforts of those Canadian real estate companies cited in the report as being strong ESG performers. We believe this study helps to inform Canadian commercial real estate organizations of the areas in which they can improve," says Michael Brooks, REALpac CEO.
The report found that although Canadian companies showed relatively high performance in the areas of business ethics, labour practices and health and safety, they lag behind on environmental and disclosure issues. The authors recommend that the real estate sector as a whole incorporate information gathering from stakeholders and best practices, an integrated corporate responsibility and sustainability policy, implementation of sustainability strategies and tactics, and communications planning to keep stakeholders informed about initiatives and achievements.
"Stakeholders, including governments, tenants and investors, are putting increasing pressure on companies to adopt green initiatives. This is about more than just the bottom line. This is a movement toward corporate responsibility and sustainability having a concrete impact on the real estate industry," says Simon MacMahon, director of sustainability services at Jantzi-Sustainalytics and author of the report.

Discover the Benefits of Integrating Massage With Your Chiropractic Care
Whether your body has endured an increase of physical activity over the summer, you're in the midst of back-to-school stress, or life is busy as usual, you can probably use a massage. Therapeutic massages are a great way to let go of stress and tension, increase circulation and vitality, and prevent a number of discomforts and ailments. Lots of people are already aware that massages feel good, and through the power of chiropractic, more are learning just how they can be good for you.
When performed by a skilled professional therapist, massage can be used to target individual muscle groups, tendons, joints and other soft tissues for a focused treatment of tension, inflammation, spasm and internal scarring. As the area is stimulated through gentle, manual motion, circulation is prompted and blockages are released. That's part of what makes a massage feel great all over. Even those areas of the body that always feel tense can finally be allowed to relax and renew. A therapeutic massage is like allowing the body to take a full, deep breath.
Provided therapeutic massages are utilized on a regular basis, particularly after vigorous physical activity, they can be a great aid in retaining and increasing flexibility, regaining range of motion after an injury, and preventing future strain and soreness that affects overworked muscles. The soft tissue stimulation and circulation prompted by therapeutic massage allows cells to regenerate and torn muscle fibers to repair. Athletes, active workers and virtually anyone who puts extra physical demand on their body should rely on massage to counter the strain they experience as part of their daily routine. Otherwise, torn tissue can fail to repair and regenerate before it's subjected to even more strain and eventually amount to considerable pain, stiffness and inflexibility.
Even if you're dealing with a health issue that's not immediately rooted in your muscle tissue, a massage can be a highly beneficial supplementary treatment for manageability and pain relief. If your pain is due to a spinal or posture issue, a herniated disc, arthritis, fibromyalgia, reoccurring headaches and migraines, or other chronic condition, massage can release the tension that frequently concentrates in the muscles as a result of these conditions and alleviate specific symptoms. Massage can even help to:
- Strengthen the immune system
- Contribute to easier respiration in the face of asthma, allergies and bronchitis
- Support better cardiovascular health through tension and blood pressure reduction
- Minimize the physical effects of anxiety and depression, including constricted breathing and overall aches and pains
- Promote an overall sense of wellbeing that connects you to your body and allows it to function better
One of the best features of integrating massage with your chiropractic care is that it's totally catered to your needs and comforts. If you've never had one before or it's been a while since your last therapeutic massage, there's always a good reason to go ahead and treat yourself to this gentle and effective wellness treatment.

Chiropractic care and massage therapy are an effective combination approach to healthcare. This whole body approach to wellness is an important alternative treatment method, and Dr. Goldman's article describes its benefits thoroughly.

Miami Law's Robert Traurig-Greenberg Traurig LL.M. in Real Property Development Distance Learning Program is reaching students across the globe. The program, which began in 2009 with an initial enrollment of just 4 students, has now grown to a current enrollment of 26.
"Our distance learning program provides a high quality educational experience to students across the world whose circumstances do not allow them to move to Miami for nine months to attend our full-time program," says Douglas Bischoff, Director of the Graduate Program in Real Property Development.
Carman Feng started the program this past September. Feng lives in Hong Kong and the online program allowed him to start working towards his LL.M. right away. "I thought the on-line course might not be as good as traditional delivery. It turned out that in some ways, it is better since it allowed me to rewind or pause as required," says Feng.
The Distance Learning Program is designed to be completed in 2-3 years and students are allowed up to 5 years to complete the program. Students are able to view each course within 24 hours of the live presentation and while most of the classes are offered online, several classes are offered on campus only. Students are also required to be on campus, in Miami, for approximately two weeks each semester.
For attorney John Labar LL.M. '13, distance learning was his only option in furthering his education. As a named partner in a law firm located in Tullahoma, Tennessee, Labar knew it wasn't feasible to give up his practice he had worked for over a decade to build. The online courses allowed him to work around his schedule. "I would normally come home and while eating dinner start watching a class from beginning to end. While sitting there watching the class, it felt like I was part of the class as most professors took the time to use the microphones and stay in camera range."
And by being required to come to campus, students like Labar are able to meet their fellow classmates and professors and still build relationships in person. But distance learning is not for everyone. An element is the need for self-discipline, says Labar. "Keeping up with the assignments, projects, readings, and watching the classes takes quite a bit of discipline and hard work. The program, while highly rewarding, is not easy."
Both Labar and Feng, however, highly recommend the LL.M. program to other attorneys who want to fine tune their skills in the areas of real property and development and to new graduates who want immediate experience in these areas.

Movie brings out rare emotion
I rarely cry.
Growing up on a farm with two brothers that's just something we didn't do. When one of us would scrape an elbow or knee, instead of shedding tears, we would proudly show off the wound with words like, "I bet my scar is going to be bigger than yours."
And I have plenty of scars to brag about. Aside from the ones left from surgeries, which by rule did not count when we had our comparison contests, I still have too many to count. I received these scars in a variety of ways.
They ranged from falling off a horse, to flipping over my adaptive tricycle, and all points in between. You may consider these incidents to be commonplace childhood injuries.
I bet I'm the only one who ever has skinned an elbow after falling out of a wagon pulled by a runaway goat who was chasing a Ritz Cracker tied to a stick.
During all those events and many others, that were much more traumatic later in life, I never cried.
That's why I was caught off guard two weeks ago when tears started flowing in the most unlikely of places, Retro Cinema Four in Forest City.
I had gone with a friend to the opening of the new Star Trek movie. For the first 90 minutes, the flick followed a familiar plotline. After all, there was nothing new about Captain Kirk and his crew saving the universe. It happened every week on TV and exactly 11 times before on the big screen.
This time it was different. I hate to reveal any spoilers, but Kirk dies at the hands of his arch nemesis, Khan. Kirk's death scene was very emotional and it hit me hard. Not because an iconic fictional character sacrificed himself for his friends, but I have seen too much death recently.
My good friend Jimmy Melton passed away in late April after riding with me to Myrtle Beach on the handcycle trip.
I have had a hard time trying to process what happened and have dealt with the pain by keeping it bottled up. But seeing Kirk die brought that pain and other emotions to the surface in a flood of tears. Death, all be it fictional, was right there. I couldn't run from it anymore.
I'm glad the theatre was dark.
My tears turned to anger moments later, however, as Kirk was brought back to life using Khan's genetically engineered blood. Real life and Hollywood are galaxies apart. No amount of science can bring Jimmy back. Then I realized that was OK. Jimmy did receive life giving blood and it didn't come from a power mad dictator named Khan in the 23rd century. It comes from a Jewish carpenter named Jesus. That's something far greater than science fiction.
That thought has been a great comfort to me over the past few days as the wound of Jimmy's passing slowly becomes another scar.
Just as I can now look back on the scars of my youth and remember them with fondness, I can look back on the good times I had with Jimmy and the friendship we shared. Death cannot take that away. Or as Captain Kirk and Spock would say, "I have been and always shall be your friend."

Jews Nervous Over Arab Films; Bham Heads To AIPAC; Gene Screen Stats
"Two film companies -- one Egyptian, the other Qatari -- are producing a pair of controversial productions that focus on Jewish communities that once lived in the Arab world," the Jerusalem Post reported this week.
The saga of Jews in Arab lands is a difficult one and one worth learning more about. This topic resonates with us at The Birmingham Jewish Federation, in particular because funds we raised decades ago helped these Jews build new lives in Israel.
This subject also is another reminder that in addition to the much-publicized plight of Arab refugees who fled after Israel's rebirth as a modern nation in 1948, an almost equal number of Jews fled the Arab states at approximately the same time. The reason that the Jewish emigration story is not as widely known is that the state of Israel, with help from The BJF and Jewish communities worldwide, absorbed these newcomers and created opportunities for them to succeed in their new homeland.
Here's an excerpt from the Jerusalem Post story:
Amir Ramses, an Egyptian filmmaker, has directed a documentary titled "Jews of Egypt," which is scheduled for release in cinemas in Cairo early next month. Meanwhile, a firm in Qatar will start filming a multimillion dollar TV series next month commemorating the slaughter of the Jews in Arabia in the 7th century.
The website of the Egyptian company states that the documentary will show how Jews in Egypt lived in the first half of the 20th century, and will examine how "the Jews of Egypt turn in the eyes of Egyptians from partners in the same country to enemies."

It's hard to believe it's already been a year. It doesn't seem that long ago that I joined thousands to hear both President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speak at the 2012 American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Policy Conference in Washington, DC.
Now, a year later, the start of the pro-Israel group's 2013 annual conference themed "Shaping Tomorrow Together," is just days away. A lot has changed, but a lot has stayed exactly the same.
In June of last year, Egypt elected Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi as its first new president in decades, but the country remains in economic turmoil, and its future is anything but certain. While Syrian president Bashar al-Assad has been greatly weakened since the last policy conference, violence in Israel's northern neighbor continues, and there appears to be no end in sight.
Since last March, President Obama was re-elected, and barring any major surprises, Prime Minister Netanyahu will lead the next Israeli government as well. But in the meantime, Israel has had to fight off an escalation in rocket attacks from terrorists in Gaza. And, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas again turned his back on the peace process, by seeking and securing status as a non-member state at the UN in violation of numerous international agreements. All the while, Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, has continued to move toward developing a nuclear weapon.
Neither President Obama nor Prime Minister Netanyahu will attend this year's conference (Vice President Biden will represent the administration, and Netanyahu will deliver an address to the conference via satellite), but the agenda remains pretty much the same.
BJF Staff Associate Samantha Dubrinsky and I, along with others from our city and state, will attend the conference March 3-5. On its final day, we, along with others, will meet with Alabama's congressional leaders, and our discussions will surround many familiar issues. Last year's congressional meetings focused primarily on maintaining foreign aid to Israel and stopping Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
According to a Times of Israel piece previewing the conference, these issues remain AIPAC's top priorities. The article says AIPAC delegates will ask congressional leaders to support legislation to put increased pressure on Iran, and to maintain foreign aid to Israel in light of increased security challenges.
As I prepare to head to DC, I am struck by the fact that despite the changes that have taken place in the last year, Israel, and in turn the American pro-Israel community, face many of the same challenges. This reminds us that the difficulties and dilemmas Israel faces are complex, unavoidable and are not to be taken lightly. It also speaks to the value of the educational work done by AIPAC and the pro-Israel community as a whole, both of which remain well-organized and committed to supporting an American-Israel relationship that is beneficial to both countries.
We at The BJF work with AIPAC's Southeast office in Atlanta year round as it provides us with resources and guidance in continuing to educate and mobilize our community. And, I am particularly proud to be associated with AIPAC at this time of year.
Pictured at last year's AIPAC conference are, from left, Jewish community volunteer leaders Lisa and Alan Engel and The BJF's Daniel Odrezin.
On January 13th, The Birmingham Jewish Federation, The Birmingham Jewish Foundation, and other very generous donors brought a Jewish Genetic Disease screening to Birmingham to help make people of child bearing age aware of what is in their genes.
There are 19 known Jewish genetic diseases that are more prevalent among Ashkenazi Jews whose ancestors are from Central and Eastern Europe. The national Victor Center for the Prevention of Jewish Genetic Diseases, which helped conduct the screening, has followed up with The BJF and given us the statistics from the screening. (The Victor Center keeps the names confidential.)
Although we don't wish for anyone to be a carrier of a disease, the reality is that on average 1 in 4 Jews is a carrier of at least one of the known Jewish genetic diseases. Of the 107 people screened in Birmingham, 29 were carriers, some of whom were carriers for more than one disease. The frequency, out of those who were tested in Birmingham, is 1 in 3.69, slightly higher than the typical ratio. Staff from the Victor Center provided each of them with initial counseling and options.
Our Birmingham screening project provided huge amounts of knowledge to many people who may not have otherwise pursued finding out what was in their genes. It also was the beginning of an ongoing process to create awareness and educate people in the field of Jewish genetics.
This project is one more reflection of The Birmingham Jewish Federation's dedication to the future of our community and commitment to provide important programs that engage young adults in the work of The BJF.
Jews are taught the following: "You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it." The BJF has started the work, and it will continue to be our focus to make sure we provide valuable information on these and other subjects to members of our community.

Did British Golfer Ian Poulter Just Send the Most Tone-Deaf Tweet of All Time?

Twitter has become the go-to shouting ground to complain about treatment at the hands of airlines.
If your flight gets canceled, or delayed, or its customer service is rude, you're almost certainly headed to Twitter to tweet out a complaint and gain a sympathetic ear.
Some tweets earn the outright indignation of the entire Twittersphere, banding us all together against the faceless corporate menace that is the airline industry, inspiring us to tweet profanity-laced tirades at the airline's Twitter handle on behalf of the offended party.
Other tweets, like this one from professional golfer Ian Poulter, meanwhile …
I'll let the @replies to the tweet do the talking:
In a series of follow-up tweets, Poulter — whose profile picture is his sports car collection — defended himself from criticism.

Bodies and Souls
Sister Manette working at the health clinic in Jonestown, Mississippi, Bodies and Souls, 2005.
Bodies and Souls illuminates the quiet efforts of Sister Manette Durand, a white Catholic nun running the only health clinic in rural Jonestown, Mississippi. The residents of Jonestown, a largely African American town in the heart of the Delta, share a condition faced by low income, rural Americans struggling to obtain basic medical care. Nearly every family in this town is touched by diabetes and heart disease. Yet many lack the resources to visit a doctor more than once or twice in their entire lives. The video follows Sister Manette through her daily challenge of providing the only health care services this community has seen in the last fifteen years. Despite very limited resources, she keeps a refreshingly practical approach to faith, race, and poverty. Through intimate observational scenes of her with her patients, Bodies and Souls profiles Sister Manette's labors "to help save bodies, so that the souls can come alive."
Bodies and Souls: Film and Essay
|Bodies and Souls. A short film by Christie Herring, 2005.
When the body is falling apart, it's hard to pay attention to what your soul is telling you.
—Sister Manette Durand
Sister Manette with a patient, Bodies and Souls, 2005.
I grew up in Canton, Mississippi—a few hours drive from Jonestown. My first film, Waking in Mississippi (made with Andre Robinson) explored race relations in my hometown. The film delved into the election of the first black mayor in 1994 and the filming of A Time to Kill one year later. The mayoral race ended in threats of a riot. One year later, a race riot was the climactic scene in A Time to Kill, which was filmed entirely on-location in Canton. It wasn't until Bodies and Souls that I returned to Mississippi with a camera.
After making Waking in Mississippi, I moved to Boston where I spent four years working in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard School of Public Health. One of our primary foci at the time was racial and gender disparities in healthcare. I learned about common barriers to receiving healthcare and the importance of intervention when looking at large-scale results. While my approach to social justice had once been ideological, now it had a practical foundation. And when I returned to filmmaking, it was with an appreciation for the intersection of policy and social change. For my thesis film in graduate school, I decided to return home to Mississippi and approach the topic of rural healthcare.
Jonestown residents and patients of the clinic, Bodies and Souls, 2005.
I knew that I wanted to make a film about rural healthcare, largely explored through observational footage in a clinic, to shed light on the real and daily challenges of keeping the doors open. My initial vision was to follow a clinic providing specialty care to clearly illustrate opportunities for immediate transformation. I thought an AIDS clinic would give me an opportunity to explore issues around race, religion, and sexuality. But as I visited clinic after clinic, I saw that the most prevalent and overwhelming healthcare challenge in the Delta was for primary care. Every clinic I visited was helmed by a Catholic nun or a recent immigrant. These were not places to go to make money. Simply keeping the doors open presented enormous challenges. However, these clinics serve a critical need. Treating the most common chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and severe arthritis—small rural clinics affected everyday lives.
|A patient has her blood pressure taken at the clinic in Jonestown, Bodies and Souls, 2005.
Although this film is not strictly observational, the work of Fred Wiseman was a prominent guidepost throughout the process, as it is in much of my work. I studied his films Hospital, Welfare, and Public Housing, each of which consists entirely of observational footage without narration or interviews. While certainly not unmediated, I was drawn to this immersive style for Bodies and Souls. My goal was to allow the viewer an opportunity to feel part of Jonestown, to feel immersed in the fabric of the community, to feel the challenges of life and complexity of relationships in their own way.
In 2006, Mississippi had one of the lowest number of physicians per capita in the nation (177 per 100,000 versus the national average of 267 per 100,000). Mississippi has the highest national level of obesity (32.5%), a condition linked to diabetes, heart disease, and countless other ailments. The Mississippi Delta is at the epicenter of these trends, and Jonestown is located in the heart of the Delta. Between the Yazoo and Mississippi Rivers, this town of 1,600 people, 96% of whom are African American, is a half hour from Clarksdale, a town of twenty thousand. Jonestown has one elementary school and sends its older students to schools in Clarksdale. Of local residents, 50% of adults have not graduated from high school and over 30% do not have access to a car, despite a complete lack of public transportation. Before Sister Manette took on the clinic, there had been no healthcare available in Jonestown for 15 years.
There is no denying the correlation between poverty, and poor health outcomes. The crisis and need in rural areas for intervention is obvious. What are our values as a society if we allow so many people to fall through the cracks? Bodies and Souls follows the work of one woman who has dedicated her life to imparting lasting change on a community, one patient at a time.

Knockback is the measure of how far an attack sends its target. For most attacks, knockback increases as damage on a character increases. An example of an attack with high knockback is Bowser's forward smash; it launches opponents very far, so far that at high damages it's more powerful than a Home-Run Bat's smash attack. Pikachu's neutral attack, on the other hand, has very low knockback - it hardly sends opponents anywhere, even at ludicrous damages. Some attacks with relatively low knockback are good for combos.
Basic physics[edit]
The knockback of almost every attack works in tandem with the target's damage - it increases as the target's damage gets higher. It is also affected by the target's weight, gravity, and a few other conditions (such as type effectiveness). The damage dealt by an attack is a significant factor in how much knockback it deals, but it is not the primary factor - this is the reason stale moves have less knockback than fresh ones, and why many chargable special moves deal less knockback when fully charged (the knockback values of the fully-charged move are altered to compensate for the higher damage, whereas the same is often not true when not fully charged).
Each hitbox of a move has two knockback values: a base knockback and a knockback scaling (also known as knockback growth). Base knockback is the minimum amount of knockback the attack can deliver (in normal circumstances), and knockback scaling is a factor that controls how much the knockback increases as damage increases. Moves with high base knockback deal high knockback under any circumstances, such as the swing of a Home-Run Bat. They additionally tend to be more effective at KOing when less knockback is needed to KO (such as against lighter characters, when near the edge of the stage, or when an opponent is handicapped to sustain more knockback). On the other hand, moves with high knockback scaling take less damage to reach KO potential, such as Luigi's forward smash. They additionally tend to be more effective at KOing when the opponent requires more knockback to be KO'd (such as against heavier characters, when far away from a stage's blast line, or when an opponent is handicapped to sustain less knockback). Advanced techniques to extend survival such as DI and momentum cancelling are also less effective the stronger a move's knockback scaling is.
In Melee, the highest knockback delivered and received by each character is given in match results, though the number lacks meaning. In Brawl, the velocity applied (in units per 1000 frames) is provided instead of the knockback value (though it's simply knockback divided by 0.03). The unit is given as "mph"; while this would presumably mean "miles per hour", this is obviously not the case, as a 1,000 mph hit barely sends characters anywhere. The following table gives an idea of various knockback strengths:
Angle indicator[edit]
Visual effects known as angle indicators appear in Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. 4 when a hitbox collides with an opponent. As its name suggests, the angle indicator shows the angle of hitboxes. In Brawl, angle indicators show different colors depending on who or what they hit. With player one, the angle indicator is red. The second player's angle indicator is blue, with the third and fourth players' angle indicators yellow and green, respectively. Computer-controlled opponents and objects like Sandbag have white angle indicators. Angle indicators appear in Super Smash Bros. as small "bubbles" appearing in the direction of the angle. In Smash 4, angle indicators appear as colorful, stylized "debris" flying off of an impact. Smoke trails (appearing in all four games to date) also indicate the angle at which a character is knocked away, but only appear when a character has taken a lot of damage, and are thus much less useful.
Smash 64[edit]
Brawl uses a second formula to alter knockback based on the target's gravity:
The result of this formula is added to the vertical component of the knockback. As a result, characters with higher gravity take more knockback than those with lower gravity, depending on how vertical the angle is.
If the move has a weight-based knockback value set (so the move deals set knockback), then d is set to that value, and p is always 10.
Other physics of knockback[edit]
Set knockback[edit]
Set knockback, also referred to as fixed knockback, is a property of some attacks where the knockback dealt by the attack does not depend on the opponent's percentage or how much damage the attack does. This results in it dealing the same amount of knockback regardless of stale-move negation. Usually, set knockback is used for the first hits of a natural combo or multi-hit move, while the last hit deals normal knockback (sometimes called "scaling knockback" to contrast), to make it easier for the entire attack to hit regardless of the opponent's damage. While damage is not a factor for set knockback, the character's weight still is, so the term weight-dependent set knockback is sometimes used.
List of set knockback moves[edit]
Super Smash Bros.[edit]
Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
No knockback[edit]
In Melee onward, there are attacks that deal zero knockback. These attacks normally deal damage to the foe but do not cause flinching, meaning that the character being hit can still perform any actions while they are being attacked. Some of these attacks can be used for racking up damage quickly, as they can hit foes repeatedly without causing flinching or sending them away. These moves can also be used to "steal" KOs from opponents in free for all battles, as while they do not cause knockback, they will take ownership of the KO on an already fatally struck opponent. Fox's Blaster is an infamous example of an attack with no knockback. Due to the fact that it does not deal knockback, it will not interrupt an opponent's moves or force them out of a punishable state such as being asleep or being stuck in the ending lag of a missed Rest. Fox's Blaster in Brawl can also turn idle foes around if they are shot repeatedly.
In Melee, phantom hits damage foes, but without any knockback. It is possible for any character to receive no knockback from attacks by certain factors, such as by being giant and metal simultaneously on a low damage ratio battle, or during the actions of certain attacks in Brawl, such as Charizard during the first frames of Fly. This is known as launch resistance. Additionally, if Master Hand or Crazy Hand is used on a battle by glitches or hacks in Melee, when he grabs a foe and then crushes it, other foes near him will still take damage, but with no knockback.
List of moves with no knockback[edit]
Knockback stacking[edit]
Knockback stacking is the means by which the game applies knockback to a character who has already been sent flying. The new knockback will sometimes replace the old knockback entirely, sometimes have no effect at all, and sometimes a merge will be performed between the two velocities. This has a large effect on combos, as the character being comboed will often have already been struck when another hit lands.
In Melee[edit]
In Melee, the method of knockback stacking used varies based on how many frames separate the first and second hit in addition to the relative angle between the two knockback directions. When the two hits are separated by fewer than 10 frames, the second hit's knockback always replaces the first's. This prevents attacks that hit repeatedly from accelerating the character that they hit with each strike, which would be the case were they added. This can also lead to some interesting scenarios that allow strong hits to be canceled into weaker ones, although this is mostly prevalent in team battles and with certain items. If the two hits are separated by 10 or more frames, the knockback is either set to the stronger value or the two are merged. The relative angle between the two hits' launch angles comes into play here: if the angle is large enough (meaning the hits are in opposite directions), then the two hits are merged via vector addition. However, if the relative angle is small (meaning the hits are in the same direction) the stronger hit is used and entirely replaces the weaker one. Since merging occurs when the hits are in opposite directions, merged knockbacks will often be in a direction completely unrelated to either of the previous two. For example, if a character is struck up and right by a strong hit and then up and left by an equally strong hit more than ten frames later, the character will be sent straight up (as the horizontal values cancel out and the vertical ones stack). This often leads to there being residual knockback from a previous hit in a combo which must be taken into account when trying to follow up.
In addition, hitstun duration is always refreshed by the second hit regardless of the time and angle between them, and the amount of hitstun applied is the amount that would be applied if the opponent had not already been hit. (I.e., the additional knockback put on the opponent from any merging does not factor in to the equation used to calculate the amount of hitstun that should be put on the opponent.)
In Brawl[edit]
In Brawl, the second hit always completely replaces the first hit's direction unless the first hit was much stronger, in which case the direction does not change. No merging is ever performed.
Knockback chart[edit]
The following is a chart demonstrating how much knockback each character sustains in Brawl. While weight is the primary attribute for determining how much knockback a character sustains, there are other attributes that factor in, such as a character's gravity. This results in some characters sustaining more knockback than lighter characters.
The knockback value shown is how much knockback a character sustains when hit with Marth's Critical Hit at 0%, arranged from least knockback sustained to most knockback sustained.

Family Practice: Girl Scout promiseWritten by Shannon Szyperski | | firstname.lastname@example.com
On my honor, I will try
My sister, Michelle, and I spent many years as Girl Scouts with our mom as our Girl Scout leader.
We had meetings at our house, learned about our personal and civic duties and went on many an interesting outing together. Girl Scouts was an important part of my elementary school years and I look forward to going through it again with my daughters.
Having a daughter older than mine, my sister has already had the pleasure of re-experiencing the camping and the cookie sales, the ceremonies and the patch-covered sashes, the mix of progress and tradition. She has taken on her own Girl Scout troop with the same creativity, enthusiasm and integrity that my mom did, showing her scouts that there is much to see, do and be in this wonderful world of ours. She encouraged them to be honorable, dedicated members of something decent, even promising her third grade Brownie troop that if any of them were to remain a Girl Scout through high school, she would take them to Disney World.
Such a commitment is a tall order for a generation used to being rewarded for the smallest of tasks.
To serve God and my country
Girl Scouts are more than just cookies and camping. In fact, my mom isn't much of a camper, so my troop's involvement in the camping portion of the Girl Scout experience came in only at the bare minimum requirement.
Our overnight excursions were more likely to include a decent hotel with an indoor pool and breakfast available the next morning.
To this day, I will always take a Holiday Inn over a tent in a field.
Not all Girl Scouts are big campers, but all Girl Scouts should be big givers.
Although there is some looking within yourself, Girl Scouting has much to do with looking outside of yourself and being of service to others.
My oldest daughter is quickly approaching her first Daisy Girl Scout year and I am anxiously anticipating her formal introduction to being of service to her community.
To help people at all times
I recently read a news story about a man who helped to fend off a woman's attacker in New York City yet was left to die on the street after the attacker then attacked him. Twenty-five people passed him by as he lay on the ground for hours. Even the woman he saved ran away without so much as a call for help.
I can't imagine failing my humanity in such a way. It is odd to think that helping another human being in obvious distress is something that needs to be taught; it seems instinctual.
Yet, perhaps it is only the repeated uttering by our parents and our preachers and our teachers and organizations like the Girl Scouts telling us that helping is our obligation that keeps the majority of us civilized from generation to generation.
And to live by Girl Scout law
Although a love for camping escaped me, I have retained and continue to utilize many of the Girl Scout values.
The Girl Scout Law is one to live by. It encourages honesty, fairness, courage, strength, responsibility and respect.
These are words that many of us like to spout off here and there, but do we really carry their meanings with us, even when no one else is watching?
Girls Scouts and other similar youth organizations are a practice ground for our children to learn how to live their lives in a decent and meaningful way.
As much as we would like to believe that such a life is intuitive, in reality it takes guidance and hard work.
Our children are filled with the potential for an honorable, decent life of service and commitment.
The Girl Scout promise
My sister recently returned from taking her three remaining Girl Scouts, now in their senior year of high school and weeks away from graduation, to Disney World.
In a world of instant gratification and empty promises, it is nice to know that there are still instances of longstanding commitments fulfilled and promises kept.
That's what Girl Scouts do.
Shannon and her husband Michael are raising three children in Sylvania. E-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

FLAG POND — A Flag Pond man will be charged with manufacturing marijuana after officials discovered more than three dozen marijuana plants of various sizes growing on his property near the North Carolina border, according to Unicoi County Sheriff Mike Hensley.
Luther Crumb, 4966 Flag Pond Road, will be charged, Hensley said. The sheriff said the Unicoi County Sheriff's Department intends to present Crumb's case to a county grand jury to seek an indictment on the manufacture of marijuana charge. The grand next meets July 13.
Hensley said marijuana plants were spotted Friday from a Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter that the sheriff's department was utilizing to conduct flyover operations. Hensley said the helicopter, which is routinely used locally as part of the Governor's Task Force on Marijuana, had the day off from flyover operations, so the sheriff's department requested its use.
"We were able to get the helicopter because this is its off day with the task force, and we utilized them to fly in Unicoi County," Hensley said.
After officers spotted marijuana plants in the Mill Creek area of the county, the helicopter was flown further south, where the plants on Crumb's property were spotted, Hensley said. Because officials spotted marijuana plants, they were able to enter the property and Crumb gave them consent to search, Hensley said.
In all, sheriff's department officials located 44 plants on Crumb's property, ranging in size from several inches to several feet tall and growing in pots and plots located throughout the property, including on the back porch of Crumb's residence, Hensley said. Ten firearms were also seized from Crumb's residence, Hensley said.
Hensley also said there was evidence of marijuana use based on the paraphernalia found, including a cigarette pack containing marijuana cigarettes. Hensley said Crumb confessed that the marijuana plants belong to him.
Hensley said Unicoi County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Frank Rogers has been in contact with Assistant District Attorney General Fred Lance regarding the charges against Crumb.

Champagne on ice after student bash
Posted: March 07, 2013|
TORBAY'S 5-1 victory over University A in Plymouth, coupled with Okehampton being held to a draw by Chard, means that Torbay can clinch the Southern Two title at home this weekend.
A four point gap has opened up and, with only two games to go, the champagne is on ice!
The students had by far the better of the first half, yet Torbay turned round 3-0 to the good!
The back three of Eddie Brown, John Veale and Simon Jones had to be on their mettle, especially in the first twenty minutes.
Chris Linton saved well from a short corner and Brown cleared an effort off the line.
Matt Clark converted a short corner on 25 minutes which appeared to deflate the Plymouth side.
Matt Dixey exchanged passes with Jamie Walsh and Ben Collins before rounding the keeper to score.
Torbay were awarded a short corner as the half time whistle blew. All ten outfield players moved up to the circle, as soon as the ball cleared the 25 yard line it would signify half time.
Clark engineered an opening for Jon Veale. His shot flew like a tracer bullet into the bottom corner of the goal.
Torbay were able to call on the experience of former captain Ian Murphy in the second half, his first appearance after a year in Australia.
An attacking midfield of Clark, Murphy and Jamie Walsh was a formidable sight at Premier Two level, so was always going to prove effective here. Only wayward finishing and brave goalkeeping kept the score down.
Murphy notched the fourth from open play, before the students pulled one back. Dixey scored the fifth with a sublime flick over the onrushing keeper to conclude the scoring.
Torbay host Truro B at 2.15 on Saturday. If the opportunity to clinch the title on home turf wasn't incentive enough, Truro have been the only side to beat Torbay this season, winning 3-1 in Cornwall before Christmas.
A MID-MORNING start did not agree with the 2nd XI who lost 3-0 at Isca C.
The game was played on the water-based pitch at Exeter University to add to Isca's 'home advantage'.
Isca led 1-0 at the break, with Torbay battling hard but being restricted to half chances.
Two goals midway through the half killed off the game. Torbay's best effort was from a Kai Horsburgh short corner which hit the outside of the post. The 2nd XI are at home to Bridgwater A at 3.45 on Saturday.
