Diplomatic and investment partners discuss HIV and AIDS policies for the workplace
Maputo, May 2009 – Development partners, representatives of the diplomatic corps and of the private sector attended a business leaders breakfast on May 15th in Maputo, to discuss social responsibility initiatives in the sector of health, education and child protection. The main theme of the session was the role of the private sector in the response to HIV and AIDS.
UNICEF, UNAIDS, EcoSIDA and CNCS co-hosted the event – which dealt with strategic options available to implement HIV and AIDS prevention and treatment policies in the workplace, benefitting both workers, their families and the local community.
"Working alone and in isolation, none of us has the capacity to fight this disease which is devastating the country. But together we have the possibility of halting its spread and reversing the destruction which is happening in the labour sector, among friends and relatives and, also the national economy", said Leila Pakkala, UNICEF Representative in Mozambique.
The devastating impact of AIDS is affecting an increasing number of adults and children in the country, which demands a joint response involving all stakeholders. The latest data indicate on HIV prevalence of 16 per cent among people aged between 15 and 49. It is estimated that 1.6 million people are living with the disease in Mozambique.
However the impact of HIV and AIDS is still more devastating among women and children. About 420,000 children in Mozambique have lost their father, mother or both due to AIDS, and this number is expected to reach 500,000 by 2010. An increasing proportion of child deaths results from diseases associated with HIV. In 2008, over 22,000 children under the age of 15 died as a result of the disease.
UNICEF and its partners recognise the positive influence that business has in the development of the country and in the response to the pandemic. An increasing number of companies are implementing policies in response to HIV and AIDS at their workplaces.
At this event several specialists showed how HIV and AIDS programmes in the workplace – at low cost and high impact – can make a great difference in productivity and in the life of the workers, their families and their communities. It was also shown how companies can avoid the negative impact lost productivity, and benefit from savings resulting from reduced health care costs and reduced losses of experienced staff.
These meetings, which began last year in Maputo, Beira and Nampula, provide an opportunity for an exchange of experience between partners, and have led to the establishment of new and innovative partnerships for social responsibility programmes that benefit communities, particularly women and children.
During the meeting, the participants also had the opportunity to watch and take part in an interactive theatre performance by the Theatre of the Oppressed Group (GTO). The Group showed how theatre can be used as a powerful instrument to spread important messages such as health, education and protection of children and child rights.
The Partnership Menu developed by UNICEF, and made available to the participants, provides concrete suggestions of how the private sector can support initiatives in the community as part of social responsibility programmes.

Bill Clinton was jogging around the Mall in D.C. one day when he came upon a 10 year old boy with a box full of 3 week old puppies.
"Democratic Puppies! Democratic Puppies for sale!" The boy yelled at the top of lungs.
Clinton stopped his entourage and kneeled down in front of the boy.
"How cute little boy. Those democratic puppies are adorable. You keep up the good work."
...4 weeks and 8 Monica blow jobs later, Clinton is running the same path. He sees the same boy with the same puppies, now older, in the same spot as 4 weeks ago.
"Republican puppies!! Republican puppies for sale!" The boy yelled.
Confused, Clinton stopped again in front of the boy. Instead of kneeling down, he stood there with his hands on his hips and a dissapointed look across his face.
"Wait a minute little boy, I thought these were Democratic puppies. Why are they Republican now?"
..."Well, Mr. President, because now their eyes are open."

Users from Canada, UK, or Ireland, you can log into your existing NFL game pass account and you will be able to get around the blackout by using UnoDNS.
The best way to watch NFL live games is through the official NFL program called Game Pass. NFL Game Pass allows you to stream all NFL games Live on your computer, ipad, and Android devices.
If NFL game pass is so good, where is the catch? Firstly, NFL Game Pass is NOT available in United States so if you are in the states, you are SOL. US users have something called NFL rewind which lets you to watch archived NFL games but nothing Live. What's fun of that? I will show you shortly how you can get around the block and still subscribe to Gamepass.
If you are in Canada, UK, or Ireland, Gamepass is available to you but severely crippled. You lose out all playoff games, Superbowl, and Sunday Night football while paying the same price. However, by following the instruction below, you will be able to get all those blocked games and get around the blackout
Here is a quick comparison chart of Game Pass between countries:
Step 1
a. So how do you get NFL game pass if you are in USA, Canada, UK, or Ireland? First, you need to setup a UnoDNS account and run the setup. If you haven't done so, you can grab a free one for 8 days here:http://www.unotelly.com/unodns
b. Go to https://quickstart3.unotelly.com/dynamo and set Dynamo for NFL Gamepass to "ON"
Step 2
Go to http://gamepass.nfl.com ,you will notice that the currency changes in dollar instead of Euro or pound. Choose the package you want to purchase. Personally, I bought Season Plus because it includes everything like Playoff streaming live and Superbowl streaming live. If the price is too steep, you can choose the 4 installment payments. If you do the math, the monthly cost is actually not that bad because the pass lasts until July 31, 2015. The cost per month works out to be $16.50.
Once you are at the order page, you can fill out the relevant information including your real billing address.
Step 3
Once you got your confirmation, you are ready to roll! Here is the logon screen:
Here is the game schedule where you can choose which game to watch Live:
Here is the actual game:
There you go. Happy NFLing . If you have any questions leave us a comment. We'll see you guys in Superbowl!
p.s. Users from Canada, UK, or Ireland, you can log into your existing NFL game pass account and you will be able to get around the blackout by using UnoDNS.

Video:How to Test for Phosphates in Freshwater Aquariumswith Dan Thornton
Phosphate levels in your aquarium should be tested regularly for proper water chemistry. Watch this how-to video from About.com to learn how to test for phosphates in a freshwater aquarium.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Test for Phosphates in Freshwater Aquariums
Hi, I am Dan Thornton, owner of Reef Encounters in Erie, Colorado and I am here today for About.com to talk about how to test for phosphates in fresh water aquariums.
Many Aquariums Contains Phosphates
Most, if not all aquariums have phosphates in them. It comes from tap water a lot of times, and there are just chemical processes that happen in the tank that will cause phosphates. The flake food that you put in can raise phosphates. The main thing you get from having high phosphates is algae growth.
Test Kits for Phosphates
There are several different type of test kits. There are some that you use just a dip stick that you dip in some of the aquarium water, there are some that you use a test tube with a dip stick, some that you use a test tube with drops.
For most home aquariums, that is about as technical as they get. You have to read the instructions, each test kit is a little bit different. In this one you add the first bottle and then you shake it, and then you add the second bottle. Then you wait the specified amount of time. Looks like phosphates are at about .25 parts per million. So pretty low, certainly nothing to worry about. Even in a clean tank like that, you are going to have some phosphates.
Phosphate Testing Frequency for Aquariums
I wouldn't put phosphates on my every weekly water testing list, but it never hurts to over test, you are not going to cause any problems. In general, if you have a lot of algae, or you are worried that you are putting phosphates in the aquarium from tap water, you don't need to regularly test for phosphates.
Thanks so much for watching, for more information on fish, please visit us at About.com.

SUMMERVILLE - Last year, Sierra Truesdale was killed by a stray bullet outside a St. George nightclub on her 23rd birthday. Saturday morning, her mother, Tamika Myers, joined other Lowcountry residents affected by violence to call for a "culture change" at a Unity in the Community rally in Summerville.
"(Sierra) went back in to get her friend and her shoes, and she was caught in the crossfire," Myers, of Goose Creek, said. "But this is not just for my daughter. This is for the kids in Myrtle Beach, for everyone affected by violence."
The rally was part of a larger effort to reduce violence and increase cooperation with and trust of the police, said Janie Colleton, a Summerville resident who organized Saturday's event. Colleton's brother was shot eight times and killed at a James Island nightclub in the 1980s.
The rally was spurred by the recent deaths of multiple young people from the Lowcountry, including three shot in Myrtle Beach over Memorial Day weekend and a 19-year-old shot and killed at a block party in Moncks Corner in early June.
"The savageness of it all has struck a chord in the community," said Louis Smith, executive director of the Community Resource Center in Summerville. "We want to honor them by showing we stand with them and we want to start a culture change."
The message from Smith, Colleton and other rally participants was clear: If you see something, say something.
A culture of "no snitching" emboldens violent criminals in Lowcountry communities, according to Smith.
"Crooks - terrorists, if you will - have used that to their advantage," Smith said. "Let's get these terrorists off our streets. If you see something going on that's illegal, just call the police."
Many of those in attendance Saturday had a family member who had been killed as a result of gun violence. Rev. Gail Rollerson's brother was "gunned down" in 1985, and his killer has never been found. Outreach through area churches will be crucial in reducing violent crime in the Lowcountry, she said.
Colleton plans on partnering with the Community Resource Center, Trident Technical College and other local organizations to bring opportunities and activities to kids and young adults in the area. She plans to work with football and basketball programs and make resume workshops available.
Many at the rally, including Myers, said they plan to continue working with the movement.
"It doesn't end with today's rally," Myers said. "My daughter started her story, and I'm here to finish it."

Each year Polka introduces 100,000 children and their families to the magic of theatre. It is a place where the whole family comes together in a fantastic child-friendly environment – watching plays in the theatre, reading in the book corner, playing in the playground, enjoying the café, and now - meeting teddy bears from the Teddy Bear Museum, including Paddington, Sooty, Fozzie, Pudsey and Winnie the Pooh.
You are welcome to come and visit the Teddy Bear Collection at any time when Polka is open. Please check with the Box Office as to availability - as sometimes access to the collection is limited due to other events.

Solar Impulse's Sun-powered prototype is unlikely to take part in any flying displays before the end of the week, unless the weather takes a dramatic turn for the better.
The Solar Impulse team had been hoping to fly the HB-SIA prototype each morning during the show, but a rainy start to the week has put a dampener on those plans.
Solar Impulse co-founder Bertrand Piccard said "we will have to see in the next few days" whether a flight is possible, adding that it is unlikely to happen on Tuesday or Wednesday.
The round-the-world balloonist described piloting the aircraft as being "like flying a balloon, where you are pushed by the wind and have to fly with nature, not against it".

BEAUMONT – Head coach Jim Gilligan will begin yet another fall at the helm of the Lamar baseball program on Sunday as the 37th-year skipper will hold its first scrimmage on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Vincent-Beck Stadium.
The Cards return 21 players from a team that posted 39 wins in the spring, the most for a Cardinal team since 2004. Among the returners are All-Southland shortstop Sam Bumpers and Jude Vidrine, who finished the second in the league in runs scored with 53. Bumpers was a .339 hitter and ended the season second in the SLC with 115 total bases.
David Carver and Collin Chapman will look to lead the returners on the mound. Chapman posted a perfect 3-0 record over 27 innings of work last season before going down with a season-ending injury, and Carver filled in, posting a 5-3 mark over 18 appearances and 12 starts. Jayson McKinley and Lance Warren are the top returners when it comes to ERA, allowing 2.39 and 2.76, respectively.
LU will also hold scrimmages on Monday and Tuesday, both at 2 p.m., as the team prepares for a pair of fall games. The Cards are set to trek to Austin on Sept. 28 for a game at Texas before heading over to Rice on Oct. 19. First pitch for both games is set for 1 p.m.

Inman ConnectTech 2010 – San FranciscoApril 12, 2010
I'm happy to again be moderating the ConnectTech Workshop at Inman Connect in San Francisco July 13-15 this year. We've got the agenda pretty much finalized and I want to reach out to the real estate tech community to find people working on related projects who would like to present.
We're currently looking for insight from companies implementing projects in the following areas:
- HTML5 Development
- iPad Development
- Android Mobile Development
- Geolocation
- Authentication using FriendConnect, Twitter OAuth, or Facebook Connect
The format is typically 45 minutes with three speakers presenting on their project: goal, strategy, what worked, what didn't, what you'd do different next time. That's followed by questions from me and the audience.
If you have something to contribute, let me know either in the comments or by e-mailing me directly. Tell me which topic you're currently working on and tell me something about the project, then I'll let the right people at Inman know you are interested.
You can see more about the Inman Connect Conference at http://www.realestateconnect.com. This is always a great conference and the workshops are always enlightening. Plan to join me July 13 from 8:30am to 12:30pm!

This is a division of application Ser. No. 416,666, filed Sept. 10, 1982 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,663,297.
This invention is related to the art of kinetic spectroscopy wherein gases either desorbed from or resulting from a catalytic reaction on a substrate surface are detected as a function of the temperature of the surface, generally referred to as temperature programmed desorption spectroscopy.
The art of thermal desorption spectroscopy is primarily directed to the study of substrate surfaces by analyzing the characteristics of desorption of controlled gaseous molecules from the surface. When a solid surface is exposed to gaseous molecular species, the species often form an adsorbed layer on the solid surface. The molecules adhere to the surface by either chemical or physical bonds. The high area substrate material is often in the form of small particles which are held in a bed of particles. The temperature of this bed is gradually increased in a vacuum or carrier gas environment. Gases desorbed from the surface area of these particles are analyzed by instruments such as a gas chromatograph or a mass spectrometer. The desired information output is the change in partial pressure in the desorbed gas as a function of the temperature of the bed of substrate particles. Peaks in differential partial pressure occur at different bed temperatures, providing information on the characteristics, including composition, of the substrate particle surface as it interacts with the adsorbed species under investigation.
There are certain recognized limitations of this technique. One such limitation is that diffusion through the bed of particles may interfere with measurements of desorption rates. That is, gas molecules desorbed from one particle may be adsorbed by another and then again desorbed before escaping the bed of particles and reaching the gas analyzer. Another difficulty is maintaining the temperature of all particles in the bed at the same temperature as the temperature is programmed upwards. The undesired result of these two factors is that the output data is blurred; that is, the desired sharp peaks of differential partial pressure do not appear but rather are blurred together.
The approach taken by existing technology is to extract the desired peak information from the blurred output data. This involves complicated computer implemented processing of that data. It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a technique for measuring the desired desorption peaks in a simpler and more accurate way.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a system and general technique for all types of temperature programmed spectroscopy, including, in addition, the investigation of catalytic reaction chemistry, pore diffusion in porous substrate materials, and catalyst preparation using hydrogen or other gaseous reducing agents.
These and additional objects are accomplished by the various aspects of the present invention wherein, briefly, the substrate particles are spread out and held in a substantially non-overlapping manner over a surface whose temperature is raised in a controlled manner. A preferred surface is that of an electrically heated filament whose surface is inert. The temperature of all of the substrate particles supported by the filament is easily maintained uniform as the filament temperature is raised as a function of time. Diffusion of gases between particles is minimized and substantially eliminated by spreading the particles out, away from each other.
When using this arrangement for thermal desorption spectroscopic studies of the substrate particle surfaces, molecules of a gas of interest, previously adsorbed onto the surface of the substrate particles, are desorbed from those surfaces as the temperature of the electrical filament is raised by controllably increasing the electrical current through the filament. The desorption peaks as directly measured are sharp and no complicated processing of the measured data is necessary to extract the desired information from these peaks. The desorption measurement process is accomplished at a very low pressure within an appropriate chamber and the preferred gas detector is a very sensitive quadrupole mass spectrometer.
Other studies can also be accomplished by using the arrangement of substrate particles spread out over a controllably heated surface, according to another aspect of the invention. For example, catalytic reactions of gases with the substrate surfaces may be studied by introducing, into a chamber containing the substrate particles, reactant gases at around atmospheric pressure. Gaseous products of the reaction are removed from the chamber by a very small orifice and analyzed as a function of the filament temperature.
The applicants herein have published many details of their invention in an article appearing in the October, 1981 issue of Journal of Catalysis, Volume 71, pages 278-287. That paper is expressly incorporated herein by reference.
Additional objects, advantages and features of the various aspects of the present invention are included in the following description of their preferred embodiments, which description should be taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is an enlarged view of a plurality of substrate particles attached to a heated surface;
FIG. 2 is a schematic curve illustrating typical results desired from a temperature programmed spectrometer;
FIG. 3 shows a sub-assembly of such a spectrometer which utilizes the substrate particle holding technique according to FIG. 1; and
FIG. 4 shows in schematic form the essential elements of a complete spectrometer system which includes the sub-assembly of FIG. 3.
Referring to FIG. 1, an electrical filament of circular cross-section is shown many times enlarged. A thermocouple 15 is welded to one point along the length of the filament 11, and carries information as to the temperature of that point over wires 17 and 19. Attached to the filament's surface near the thermocouple 15 are a large number of small particles 13 of a desired substrate material or materials to be investigated. A small tube 21 is positioned so that a tiny orifice 23 at its end is very close to the surface of the filament 11. Its purpose is to sample gases from a region adjacent to filament 11 for introduction to the mass spectrometer analyzer, as better shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when catalytic reactions of the substrate are being studied in a gas phase environment. The sampling tube 21 can be of the form of a fine capillary tube or a small orifice of small enough size to sample gas at a rate appropriate for the mass spectrometer and the turbopump.
Referring to FIG. 2, a curve 25 is given for purposes of explanation to show two sharp peaks which gives information as to the nature and composition of the substrate particles 13. The curve 25 shows the differential partial pressure of gas being desorbed from the surfaces of the particles 13 in a vacuum as a function of the temperature of those particles. The temperature of the particles is gradually raised by increasing the electrical current through the filament 11 in a programmed manner. The two peaks of the curve 25 reveal that there are two different bonding modes for the adsorbed species on the substrate particles' 13 surface. The temperature at which the peaks occur are characteristic of these surface bonding modes. The area of the curve at a peak is proportional to the number of sites of that particular substrate material that hold a molecule of the gas that is analyzed. The gases that are desorbed by this gradual heating of the substrate particles 13 have previously been adsorbed by exposing the particles to the gas.
A blurred peak 27 is shown in dotted outline in FIG. 2 as illustrative of the type of information that is obtained according to present techniques of thermal desorption spectroscopy wherein the particles are held together in a bed or group. As described above, such a distribution of the particles may lead to intergranular diffusion of desorbed gas molecules and an uneven temperature of the substrate particles. This blurring of the data output is corrected, according to the present invention, by correcting the conditions that cause the blurring, rather than attempting to compensate for it by processing the blurred data 27 in order to identify the peaks 25, as is done by others using existing techniques.
The particles 13 can conveniently be attached to the surface of the filament 11 by depositing on a section of the filament a slurry mixture of the particles 13 in a solvent, followed by evaporation of the solvent. Once the filament 11 dries, the particles remain adhered to it. The surface of the filament 11 should be inert; that is, it should not itself give off gas molecules to any substantial degree which would interfere with detecting the gas molecules of particular interest. It has been found that a tungsten filament with its outer surface being lightly oxidized is satisfactory. If there is any substantial amount of undesired gas molecules emitted from the filament, a control filament without substrate particles attached to it can be included as part of any spectrometer in order to determine the component of the output readings due to the filament itself, which components can then be subtracted from the measurements made on the sample filament.
Referring to FIG. 3, a sub-assembly of a temperature programmed spectrometer is illustrated which uses the system of FIG. 1. A container 29 of a cooling liquid 31 serves to support at its bottom the filament 11 in a loop. The temperature of the cooling liquid serves to define the lower limit of adsorption temperature for the sample. Wires 33 and 35 are connected to opposite ends of the filament 11. As is shown in FIG. 4, the filament energizing conductors 33 and 35 and the thermocouple conductors 17 and 19 are connected to a programmable power supply 37, which may be adjusted to program the filament temperature at various desired rates.
The sub-assembly of FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. 4, is contained within a vacuum chamber 39. The filament sub-assembly may be conveniently removed by opening the support flange assembly 36. The temperature of the filament 11 is raised in a predetermined manner by a programmed electrical current increase through the filament.
The apparatus of FIG. 4 is capable of being used to study either the desorption of gases from the particles or the catalytic reaction of the particle surfaces with the gases, as discussed previously. In either case, a gas inlet tube 41 is provided into the enclosed chamber 39. Gases are admitted into the chamber through the tube 41. When the system of FIG. 4 is being used for desorption spectroscopy, the single gas of interest is first introduced into the chamber so that the particles previously attached to the filament can adsorb the gas on its surfaces. The chamber 39 is then evacuated by the use of a turbopump 43 through a gate valve 45 which is held open during this process. Once the chamber 39 is evacuated, the filament 11 is gradually increased in temperature and gases desorbed from the substrate surfaces are measured by a quadrupole mass spectrometer 47 through the gate valve 45 which is held open. This provides the information previously discussed with respect to FIG. 2 concerning the substrate surface characteristics. Since typical base pressures prior to desorption are very low (less than 1×10-8 torr), the sensitivity of the mass spectrometer detector is enhanced, permitting very small substrate samples to be employed. The low base pressure is achieved by using materials of construction in the apparatus which have low outgassing rates. The high mass spectrometer sensitivity gives large output signals with a small amount of gas present, and the high vacuum condition of the instrument of FIG. 4 results in an extremely low undesired background signal.
Certain other measuring instruments are connected with the chamber 39. A capacitance manometer 49 is connected to the chamber 39 through an appropriate port. Similarly, a Bayard Alpert gauge 51 is connected through another port to the chamber 39. Also, for many applications, it is desirable to have a transparent window portion in a wall of the chamber 39 so that the geometrical conditions within the chamber can be observed from the outside.
The capillary needle 21 is not utilized when the system of FIG. 4 is used for desorption spectroscopy but when the system is used for high pressure catalytic reaction chemistry with the surfaces of particles attached to the filament 11, gases drawn through the small tube 21 become the source for the mass spectrometer 47 and are applied thereto through a wide bore tabulation 53. A copper focusing insert is provided in the passage 53 on the same axis as mass spectrometer 47 in order to better focus the available gases into the mass spectrometer 47. This increases the efficiency and sensitivity of the instrument. A capillary 21 is opened and closed by a valve formed of an O-ring seal 55 at the end of a linear translation element 57. The element 57 is moved back and forth by a micrometer control assembly 59 of a conventional design. When the linear translation element 57 is pulled away from the small tube 21, its capillary opening then communicates with the mass spectrometer 47 through the passage 53. This passage is closed off by moving the element 57 so that the seal 55 presses tightly against the surface surrounding the small tube 21. By valving the capillary opening through the tube 21 at this position, there is a very small dead-space volume within that tube and within the O-ring seal that retains gases after it is closed off. A small dead-space volume is desired in order to provide a fast response to the detection of different gases from the reactor chamber 39 at subsequent times. The volume can be reduced even further by a single ball-like resilient element in the center of the end of the longitudinal translator element 57 to replace the O-ring 55 and close off the inner end of the tube 21 directly.
When operating the system of FIG. 4 in its second mode to study the catalytic reaction of gases with substrate particles, the chamber 39 is first evacuated by the turbopump 43 with the gate valve 45 opened. The valve 45 is then closed. Desired gases are introduced into the chamber 39 through the inlet 41 until the desired composition and pressure within the chamber 39 is reached. The filament 11 is then increased in temperature in a programmed manner and the mass spectrometer 47 receives gases through the small tube 21 for analysis without significantly reducing the pressure in the chamber 39. In addition, the system may be operated as a static catalytic reactor by maintaining the filament at a constant temperature sufficient to produce a measurable rate for the catalytic reaction.
It will be recognized that the system of FIG. 4 and the techniques described above can be used in a wide range of chemical processes at the surface of high specific area solids. Among them is the study of adsorption/desorption processes, the investigation of catalytic reaction chemistry, the investigation of pore diffusion in zeolites and other porous materials, and the investigation of catalyst preparation using hydrogen or other gaseous reducing agents.
Although the various aspects of the present invention have been described with respect to its preferred embodiments, it will be understood that the invention is entitled to protection within the full scope of the appended claims.

Street harassment: It's a violation, not a compliment
By age 12, nearly 1 in 4 girls experience unwanted sexual comments, leers, touches, and stalking in public places by strangers. Nearly 90 percent of women have that experience by age 19. Street harassment teaches girls that public places are male territory and they are prey to male predators of all ages. The harassment restricts their access to public places and impedes gender equality. [Read More]

DROID RAZR in white comes tomorrow – can you guess why?
Though it may seem like an exercise in foolish re-reporting to speak on this white version of the DROID RAZR again when we announced it earlier this month, it's availability for tomorrow (the 15th of December) should strike you hard enough to bring about a bit more buzz than this device otherwise would. Since the DROID RAZR was released in its original black/gray form last month (our full review able to be found here), another color for the casing of this device is essentially just a paint job on the same cool sharpness: but besides the OTHER device you're more than likely aware is almost certainly coming to Verizon tomorrow, recognize this: the DROID XYBOARDs are being cross-promoted with this handset as a "one-two punch of media mastery and multitasking might."

Unbeaten Chapel Hill girls win Carolina in the Pines tournament
Tournament MVP Jamella Smith and freshman forward Autumn West keyed Chapel Hill's 54-49 win over Cornelius Hough (7-2) Saturday night as the Tigers (9-0) won the Carolina in the Pines holiday invitational basketball tournament at Pinecrest High School.
"We had a 10-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, but they cut it to five and we had to hit our free throws to win it at the end," Chapel Hill coach Sherry Norris said.
The Tigers played the two-day event without its fourth leading scorer and top rebounder, junior center Catherine Romaine (8.9 points per game, 6.6 rebounds per game), who was attending to family holiday obligations.
Smith, who had 19 points and nine rebounds in Friday night's 68-15 whitewash of Richmond County in the tournament opener, joined with West, a promising rookie, to pick up the slack.
West, who had suffered a knee injury in the team's final game before the tournament, never missed a beat. She had seven points, 10 rebounds and seven steals in Friday's win and had a similar line — 13 points, five rebounds, six steals and two assists — on Saturday.
Laura Musalem, who tied West for the rebound lead Friday with 10, didn't score Saturday but did pick off six boards. Tamia Eatmon also had a well-rounded stat line — nine points, five rebounds, three assists, three steals.
Championship Game
Chapel Hill 54, Hough 49
CHAPEL HILL —Tamia Eatmon 9, Arianne Jacobs 1, Katie Guthmiller 2, Jessica Wall 6, Mariah Jacobs 2, Raziyah Farrington 8, Jamella Smith 9, Jasmine Suitt 4, Autumn West 13.
Hough 13 8 12 16—49
Chapel Hill 10 17 17 10—54
Rebounds—CH 38 (Smith 8, Laura Musalem 6, West 5, Eatmon 5). Assists—CH 13 (Eatmon 3, Wall 2, West 2, Suitt 2). Steals—CH 19 (West 6, Smith 4, Eatmon 3, Farrington 3.

The US credit reporting system can be confusing at times: there are multiple credit bureaus, a variety of credit scores, and a bunch of rules and regulations regarding the permitted use of this information.
It can sometimes drive a person crazy trying to figure it all out!
Questions I am frequently asked are: why are there three credit bureaus and three FICO® Scores? Do I need to stay on top of just one or all three? Does my lender pull all three or just one? Which one?
In the U.S. there are three national credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) that collect, update, store and sell our credit histories. The credit bureaus compete against each other to have the most robust, current and accurate credit information on the US population, with the hope that lenders will purchase credit reports from their agency when evaluating request for credit.
Much of the information housed on consumers across the three credit bureaus is similar in order to simplify the consistency of data being reported. However, there are oftentimes differences in terms of what information is being captured and how each of the credit bureaus store, merge and display the data. For example, bureau "A" may have more recent credit inquires on your credit report compared with the other two if the lenders you do business with tend to pull reports from that particular bureau.
The result is that your credit profile can look different across the three credit bureaus and those differences in data can drive differences in your credit scores across the three bureaus as well. That's because the FICO Score for each bureau is based solely on the information contained at that bureau.
Each lender decides on which credit bureau they will access when evaluating a request for credit. Their preference is based on a variety of factors that can include perception on the quality of the credit bureau's data, attention to customer service, costs, operational stability, etc. The lender may pull all three credit reports and FICO Scores for larger credit requests (such as a mortgage loan) while only accessing one of the three for a smaller extension of credit decisioning such as for a credit card application. The challenge: the consumer rarely knows ahead of time which credit bureau(s) the lender will access.
That's why many industry experts recommend consumers periodically access all three credit reports and FICO Scores to ensure information is being reported accurately. Experts also recommend to engage in the dispute resolution process if data errors are discovered, and to be as prepared as possible before seeking new credit.
FICO's new offering, FICO® Score 3-Report View, allows you to see your three FICO scores and the underlying Equifax, Experian and TransUnion credit reports on which they were generated in a side-by-side and easy to understand format. With this solution, you can quickly identify how the data is similar (or different) across the three credit bureaus, what factors are most significantly impacting your FICO Scores, and if any information is inaccurate and needs investigated.
Armed with this information, you gain valuable insight into where you stand and can be better prepared when applying for new credit in the near future regardless of which credit bureau and FICO Score the lender is accessing to help them in their credit evaluation.
Tom Quinn is the Vice President of Business Development for myFICO® , and has over 20 years of experience working with consumers, regulators and lenders and regarding credit related questions and initiatives.

This program purchases electrical power for our business from a wind farm. Currently the maximum amount a business can dedicate to renewable sources is 20%. We have advised Origin that as new renewable energy programs become available, we will take that option immediately.
We also participate in a carbon offset program with Origin Energy for our natural gas usage. We have arranged for a 100% carbon offset of our carbon footprint from gas consumption, by supporting tree planting to capture CO2, and also by supporting technology to trap methane gas from escaping from waste land fill sites. Nothing is cleaner than natural gas!
In practicing yoga you have made a commitment to yourself to take care of that beautiful body that carries your soul through this life. By being GREEN we can all help to take care of GAIA, this beautiful earth, which carries ALL of us through our lives.
For Our Students:
We believe that it is important to not only consider what you do with your body (your Bikram yoga practice), and what you put in your mind (thoughts, goals, etc.), but ALSO what you put on your body (soaps etc.)
At the sides of the yoga room we have installed two screen doors which allows us to cross- ventilate the studio between classes to help freshen and dry out the room and carpet to prevent accumulation of moisture that may allow bacterial growth. We also use a Fresh Air Sponge in the return air which gathers microbial bacteria into a gelatinous bucket. The air you breathe is clean and fresh, probably much cleaner than the environment.
To further sanitize the studio environment, we use a proffessional carpet cleaner who uses steam and a product called Green Balance. This product is safe and effective and helps the carpet to resist soiling. It contains no carcinogens and is non toxic.
We have two humidifiers in our room:
Ionmax Ion60 Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier and Ioniser
The benefits of optimal humidity
Allergens, dust particles and bacteria die up to 20 times faster in air with a relative humidity of 45 to 55%, and the body's immune system functions better in air with a relative humidity of 45 to 65%. Proper air humidification can help avoid respiratory infections, nose bleeds, dry skin, muscle pain, sinus and nasal pain and sore eyes.
Negative ions
A high concentration of electrically charged negative ions in the air contributes to a general feeling of well-being. In enclosed spaces the number of ions in the air can become depleted. The Ion60's built-in ioniser generates vitalising negative ions to create a better environment for your home or office, and promote better breathing health.
The ionised mist the Ion60 creates will maintain an optimal comfortable living and working environment and fill it with vital negative ions.
Mat Cleaning
Our mats are cleaned daily with Eucalyptus which is Eucalyptus oil is antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, antiviral, the antiseptic and deodorant nature of eucalyptus oil makes it a perfect room freshener for hospitals and sickbed atmosphere. It also kills bacteria and germs in the air and hence keeps the room environment clean.

Video:How to Do a Chin-Length Bobwith Jennifer Webb
Want to learn how to do a chin-length bob that will look sleek and smooth? Here, see step-by-step instructions.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Do a Chin-Length BobHi I'm Jennifer Webb for Prima Salon Portland, Oregon for About.com and I'm going to show you how to style a chin length bob.
Instructions for Doing a Chin-Length BobSection the hair over the ear pulling the front section forward and the back section back. And smooth against the neck. Start with the back graduating and stacking the layers. Figure out how stacked they would like their hair to be and how high they would want it in the back to start the graduation. It usually looks best to have 1 inch of graduation graduated from the back of the head down to the chin. Start cutting the hair start at the nape and take off the desired length giving it a graduated look in the back. Then slide the comb and slice sections at a 90 degree angle to stack the layers.
Finishing the Chin-Length Bob CutWhen you're done with the back blend the sides up with the back section and trim. Measuring up the length to the trim make sure that the graduation is at least one inch. This is how you achieve a chin length bob.

Salesforce.com's Salesforce.com's found its new CFO to replace retiring executive Graham Smith, and the CRM giant's sticking to the cloud. Autodesk Autodesk CFO Mark Hawkins Hawkins will now run the books for CEO Marc Benioff, taking over as chief financial officer on August 1. What Smith and Hawkins both have in common: neither says unevenness in the public markets for cloud stocks will be changing Salesforce's investor strategy anytime soon.
Graham says Salesforce hasn't "spent too much time worrying" about sector stock prices. "When I meet with investors, they spend their time worrying about it, but we don't," the retiring CFO says. "We've been very clear about our strategy to prioritize growth and operating margins over time. With Mark [Hawkins] you'll expect to see continuity on that."
The move comes at a time when the market has dinged back the stock prices and values of public enterprise companies down from some of their 2013 heights. Salesforce currently at about $58, above where it was last year but still down a bit from a late February high of over $66 a share. In March and April, enterprise companies began a drop that led some companies to do a double-take about going public. Zendesk and MobileIron have both since gone public, calming some short-term concerns, but other cloud executives like Workday CEO Aneel Bhusri have warned that enterprise stocks could still be inflated or over-hyped.
Analysts like Jeff Houston at Barrington Research and Michael Huang and Michael Turrin at Needham have recently written that they believe Salesforce still deserves a premium in its valuation over what other cloud companies currently get. But Salesforce has also caused some seeds of anxiety as a company that's never prioritized profitability and pays employees heavily with its own stock.
Instead, Salesforce has prioritized revenue growth, making a major $2.5 billion acquisition of ExactTarget last year as the backbone of a new Salesforce Marketing Cloud. ExactTarget CEO Scott Dorsey suddenly stepped down in late May, raising questions of whether ExactTarget's integration into the Salesforce business has gone as smoothly or as quickly as hoped, though Houston at Barrington writes that the value of that deal is still "under-appreciated" by investors.
After chatting with Smith and Hawkins, it seems unlikely that Salesforce will change the way it reports its financials or to go on the defensive against those concerns. Hawkins' focus as Salesforce CFO will be to continue the company's march toward a $10 billion year in revenue, a goal Benioff has repeatedly discussed publicly as a key milestone for Salesforce's growth. The company boasted its first billion-dollar quarter late last year.
"It's an absolutely outstanding opportunity and I feel incredibly fortunate," Hawkins tells Forbes. "When you think about Salesforce.com, anybody would say it's the gold standard for the cloud. And the opportunity is enormous in front of us."
By tapping Hawkins, Salesforce is sticking to a cloud insider. Hawkins was CFO at Autodesk for the past 4 years, where he says he helped guide the company from the recession of 2008 into a cloud- and subscription-first identity. That fits well with Salesforce, which famously has a "no-software" motto. Benioff was also impressed by Hawkins' track record scaling at two well-established tech giants, HP and Dell. The incoming CFO was a vice president of finance at Dell for 6 years and spent almost two decades helping build out HP from a $3 billion market cap to the $45 billion or so it stood at when he left, not long before the company acquired Compaq in 2001.
Hawkins says that he's not going to worry about any investor headwinds before he's even started, but that he expects to continue a transparent relationship with analysts as Smith has done before.
That means Hawkins claims Salesforce isn't going to suddenly start unduly worrying about its stock under his watch. "Things get choppy at times, but we've seen this before."

The American Music Awards are to the Grammy Awards what the Golden Globes are to the Oscars — they're slightly looser, filled with more frivolity and slightly less consequential in the grand scheme of things. However, when it comes to generating viral moments, score one for the producers of the AMAs.
Tonight's show opened with Nicki Minaj performing her a medley of her song with David Guetta, "Turn Me On," and her 2011 Song Of The Summer contender, "Super Bass." While she was performing, someone in the truck noticed that Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez were rapping along to the song in the crowd and wisely cut to that shot, which we have for you above courtesy of @mattchew03.
Of course, this isn't the first time that T-Swizzle has publicly professed her love for the Queen of the Barbies. Back in February, she rapped a few bars of "Super Bass" during a trip to a Los Angeles area radio station, and Nicki returned the favor by duetting with Taylor at a concert over the summer.

Lead Free Lunch Box
With two kids who are gluten free, I am always packing lunches and
meals to go. I FINALLY ordered this bento box style lunch container
from reusablebags.com which tests 100% lead-free by the manufacturer. I will post pictures of lunches and meals when it arrives. I have a friend who uses the tupperware version of this product, but this seems to be a little greener and made with safer plastic.

BRIDGEPORT -- A woman was treated for an asthma attack and electricity was cut to a downtown building after it filled with smoke on a frigid Wednesday morning.
The smoke was reported at 8:10 a.m. in the Barnum House, a multi-story, mixed-use building at 140 Fairfield Avenue. The eight-story brick building is on the side of the Fairfield County Courthouse, and near the Holiday Inn.
Miss Thelma's Restaurant is on the first floor. Firefighters reportedly vented smoke from the top floors of the building but did not find a working fire.
Police shut off Fairfield Avenue between Main and Broad streets for about 30 minutes while firefighters were on the scene.

Was Romney's Song Playing Sunday? Check 'I Want You To Want Me'
By Mark Memmott
Sometimes you just walk into a metaphor.
What classic rock title could better describe what a politician's really saying to voters than Cheap Trick's I Want You To Want Me?
And what tune was guitarist G.E. Smith ripping through Sunday afternoon during a sound check inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum? That very one.
We grabbed a little video of G.E.'s solo.

Steripen Rocks!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Makes purifying water that much easier. Lightweight, can double as an emergency backup light (total last minute option), and has not let me down yet, and I've used it in many different places. Only reason I'm giving it four stars is because you have to hold it submerged and stir, and if it barely comes out of the water, you gotta restart. Depending on what the water is in might make it difficult. This was taken in GSMNP:

|calling this route thin hands is debatable. i never placed anything smaller than a #2. gear: 2-3 #2 camalots, #3 camalot, few runners. route is maybe 45 feet long. long webbing for belay/top rope anchor helps. belay at ledge takes small cams and/or nuts. i used a orange tcu, yellow tcu, and a medium/large nut.

FA Peter Scott circa 1988
Not Chris Holbeck (He's a friend of mine and can confirm this) he was the belayer on the FA
Originally there was a loose block at the beginning of the crack (see photo) that I later trundled and then reclimbed the route. This made the initial crack longer.
I love the belay ledge on this route! The position is incredible .
Glad to see people climbing this route.

So classic. Every year I worked for the Voyageur Outward Bound in Ely we'd make a pilgrimage to climb at Palisade and specifically to climb Urge to Mate. This route is awesome: hands at the bottom and steep cruxy face moves at the top. It's a must climb for the area! Love it!
Find the top by looking for the small "Headstonish" looking rock facing away from the lake.

People that cannot wait for their new parts should probably buy a 7970.
For me, there's nothing my 580s or 590 won't run fine, so I can wait a bit to see what the better part is.
The main problem here is that you're still assuming they'll start with the high end part first, when it's becoming more aparent that it'll be the midrange version being released...The replacement for the GTX560 being the first of the "Kepler" series in this case.
The dual GPU GK110 cards and highest end GK 112 single GPU being Q4 2012 or even early 2013, and if true Nvidia just handed the high end GPU market to ATI on a silver platter, and no matter how you cut it, slice it or dice it, that's not a short time period at all...
