The Dramatic Rise of PLAs
and Mobile Shopping
The 2014 Google Shopping Benchmark Report
Get The White Paper
2013 marked the first full year of Google's "pay-to-play" model built on Product Listing Ads (PLAs). Expanding PLAs to smartphones, increasing the number of ad units delivered, and adding new consumer features allowed Google to bolster a growing revenue opportunity commanding nearly one fourth of retail paid search budgets during the 2013 holiday season.
This 9 page research brief examines the performance of Google Shopping ads in 2013—including a focus on the holiday season—analyzing year-over-year trends across ad formats and comparing key performance indicators by device type. Based on observed performance, seasonality trends, and forecast models, this brief will also provide direction on future PLA performance.
Readers will gain insight into the current state of Google Shopping ads including:

Buy the stencils on Etsy.
Step 1: Materials
- Laser cutter: you could make one for $50, but I had one available.
- Image processing and plotting software: I used Adobe products and AutoCad, but there are certainly other options.
- Face mask for respiratory protection
- Tape: masking tape or painter's tape. The wider the better.
- Stencil material: I used chipboard; transparencies should work as well.
- Spraypaint: I used Krylon indoor/outdoor gloss spraypaint, about $3-4 per can at Walmart (I used Black, Raspberry, Global Blue, and Bright Idea).
Step 2: Choose and Separate an Image
Resize your image:
- Open the image in Photoshop.
- Image > Image Size
- I set "document size" to 800% width/height, at 300 ppi, giving me about 7x9 inches
- Image > Mode > CMYK
- If it asks about Flattening, click "Flatten"
- Normalize using Image > Adjustments > Auto Level, or do it by hand (recommended)
- Open Image > Adjustments > Levels and in the minimum output level box enter 128 (this will, effectively, make the image brighter)
- Select the "Channels" window (next to "Layers", or select from the "Window" toolbar)
- Make only the "Cyan" channel visible
- Select all
- On the "Layers" window, create a new Layer and paste the channel
- You should now see just the Cyan channel in black and white, save this as a jpg
- Do likewise with the three other channels (Magenta, Yellow, and Black)
There is probably a faster way to do the separation, or to do it in Illustrator directly. If you know, share the technique in the comments!
Also, Krylon is terrible spray, it drips like hell. Go for Montana (either spanish or german, they're both good and cheap).


text: TALLAHASSEE (by Rick Flagg and Alan McBride/FLA. NEWS NETWORK) -- TaxWatch, business groups and the Florida League of Cities are teaming up to try to change the municipal pension system and undo a sweetheart deal that began 15 years ago. When he ran for governor in 1998, Jeb Bush cut a deal with the police union to get their endorsement. The next year he signed a new law boosting pensions for cops and firefighters. Now, Robert Weissert with Florida TaxWatch says that deal is breaking the bank. "We cannot fund these promises in the future," he said. "These are not sustainable promises without reducing services that people depend on at their local level, or without raising taxes." There are almost 500 municipal pension plans in the state and TaxWatch says they're $10 billion in debt because retirement benefits are too high. TaxWatch is teaming up with the League of Cities, Americans for Prosperity and several business groups to lobby the legislature for pension reform. They want to reduce some of the benefits paid to police and firefighters.

This week's edition of "So You Want to Read YA?" comes to us from author Malinda Lo.
Malinda Lo is the author of several young adult novels including most recently the sci-fi thriller Adaptation; the sequel, Inheritance, will be published Sept. 18, 2013. Her first novel, Ash, a retelling of Cinderella with a lesbian twist, was a finalist for the William C. Morris YA Debut Award, the Andre Norton Award, and the Lambda Literary Award. She lives in Northern California with her partner and their dog. She can be found online at Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and her website, www.malindalo.com.
As an author of young adult novels with many adult friends who don't read YA, I often find myself explaining to them what YA is and what it isn't. "No, it's not all about vampires!" "Yes, it can be complex!"
It can be a little trying. However, because they're my friends, sometimes they will read my novels even though they think (erroneously) the books aren't for them — which is both gratifying and utterly horrifying because they're my friends, and what if they hate my books?! But luckily, since they're my friends, they don't tell me if they hate them. Sometimes they even tell me they were surprised that my books weren't dumbed down (yes, this has happened) and ask if there's other YA I can recommend.
I think the best route to successful book recommending is first figuring out what the reader in question has liked in the past. So, when someone who's new to YA wants to read YA, I want to figure out what sort of adult books they enjoy, since YA obviously is a broad category that encompasses many genres.
Here are my recommendations for a few different types of readers:
Here are my recommendations for a few different types of readers:
For this reader, I'd recommend Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma. This novel, which is about a girl who nearly drowns in a lake and then is haunted by that experience, is the kind of novel you want to read slowly so that you can savor each sentence. Also, though the main character is a teen, the other characters are a bit older, and none of them exhibit any stereotypical 90210-like teen characteristics. They are complex, a little cruel, and utterly fascinating.
"I love mysteries! Police procedurals especially."
While there aren't a lot of detective novels in YA because teenagers usually aren't able to have that kind of job, I'd recommend I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga. This is about Jasper Dent, the teenage son of a convicted serial killer who realizes that a series of murders in his town eerily resemble those that his father committed years ago…but his father is in prison. Who's doing the killing? And can Jasper avoid becoming his father? A totally engrossing page-turner of a mystery.
Yes. These people should read City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, which is a deliciously fun urban fantasy about a girl who learns that there's a secret world of angels and demons intertwined with ordinary New York City. You name it, City of Bones and its many sequels have it: kick-ass girls, sexy bad boys, bisexual half-Asian warlocks (yes!), love triangles with a twist (and what a twist), and awesome action scenes. I honestly don't know how the movie will do it!
YA is chock full of romance, especially romance of the first love kind. For this reader, I'd suggest Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler, the story of one girl's mission to lose her virginity during a summer at the beach. It's touching and true and also a lot of fun, which romance should be.
"I love epic fantasy!"
For fantasy readers, I always recommend the books of Kristin Cashore. Her first novel, Graceling, is a kick-ass adventure about a killer lady, and it's perfect for readers who want action and adventure. Her second novel, Fire, is a nuanced exploration of beauty and monstrousness, set in a wonderfully progressive imagined world, and is perfect for those who want a thought-provoking read.
"I'm lesbian/bisexual/queer and I've already read your books. What gay YA should I read next?"
This is probably the question I get the most from readers, which is why I maintain a list of recommended reads featuring lesbian/bisexual/queer female leads on my website. But that list includes both YA and adult. For those who want a YA book, I suggest Emily M. Danforth's The Miseducation of Cameron Post. This book might have special meaning for adults because it's set in 1990 and is about coming of age as a lesbian in that specific time period. It's also multilayered and it brilliantly evokes the experience of living in Montana. And it makes you think: This is YA? Wow, YA.
"I don't know what I want but I want to read some YA. Surprise me."

Barrington boy Louis Skupien, 10, aims to match tennis hero Novak Djokovic
Posted: February 05, 2013|
A tennis prodigy from Barrington is hoping to follow in the footsteps of his hero Novak Djokovic after winning the 10 and under Winter National Tennis Championships in Cambridge.
Louis Skupien beat the competition's number one seed in the semi-final and the number two seed in the final.
Then he watched his favourite player defeat Andy Murray in the Australian Open.
Louis is now training for an international tennis career. He trains full time at Exeter University Tennis Centre and is coached by his dad, Peter, and Dominic Stones.
He started playing tennis at the age of four, playing with his dad and joining a weekly group at Taunton Tennis Centre. He quickly progressed and could serve and rally effortlessly by the age of five.
Louis said: "I love tennis, especially the hard training as it makes me a better player, and then I get to test it in tournaments with hopefully great results.
"I really love my physical sessions with my trainer Alan Pope, his nickname is Beef. Beef says "pain is weakness leaving the body".
"We work hard but it is really good fun, it helps me in my tennis. I have always been competitive.
"I don't mind losing to a better player as long as I give 100 per cent but winning is a lot more fun. To win the Nationals was awesome."
Louis had a successful year in 2012 winning the Bristol Open, the Millfield Compete Open twice, The Winchester Babolat Open, Cardiff Open, Devon Open at Ivybridge, and the Winter Regional Tours at Taunton and Exeter.
He has just been awarded a sponsorship contract from Prince Tennis as well equipment from Booost Oxygen. He is also part of the Aegon sponsored Future Stars programme and regularly attends the National Camps.
Dad Peter said: "Louis has always been extremely competitive and displays a tremendous determination to succeed. He loves tennis and plays with a smile on his face. He practices very hard five days a week. His ambition is to become a top professional tennis player and the family is fully supportive of his efforts."

The Dutchman had gone 10 matches without scoring before slamming home a penalty mid-way through the second half for his 20th goal of the campaign, to add to midfielder Michael Carrick's fourth minute opener.
United now need only seven more points from their remaining six matches to clinch their 20th championship, and require second-place City to win all seven of their remaining matches to stand any chance.
"You go through spells when you don't score where you never think you're ever going to get a goal, and then when you are scoring you think you're never going to miss," Ferguson told Sky Sports.
"Today was an important goal.
"He did really good work from Wayne's pass to get brought down for the penalty.
"The ball moved off the spot two or three times, the composure to settle himself down and the penalty kick was a perfect penalty. Low hard, straight into the corner, great penalty."
And after Van Persie jumped on his manager during the celebrations, he added: "He nearly killed me. He forgets I'm 71.
"But that was a great celebration because it brought the emotions of the fans and the players together, everybody could celebrate that."

Story and Photos by: SSG Steve Tressler
DJIBOUTI – Being born in Fleming County, Ky., the covered bridge capital of the Commonwealth, isn't a natural hub for those wanting to speak a foreign language. So how is it that Fleming County native Sgt. Bobby King speaks fluent Japanese?
After all, the Asian population is less than one-half of one percent, county-wide in Fleming. King, the father to 5 children, and a self-described 'wildman' in his youth, was born and raised in Fleming County, and says he learned the language out of utter boredom while stationed in Okinawa as a US Marine in the 1980's.
Listen by clicking here: Holiday Greetings from Sgt. King
King started his military career in 1981 with the US Army. After three years of reserve service he decided he wanted to be on active duty, but the Army said they didn't have a spot for him. The Marine Corps however, was happy to oblige and, gave him a spot on active duty, with one catch…….it would be in Japan.
It's served him well ever since.
Because it was that time in the Marine Corps from 1984-1992 that his utter boredom set in and his love of his new surroundings captured his imagination. So much so, that he learned to speak the language of the natives. After serving honorably in the Marine Corps for eight years he decided to leave active duty, but not Japan, where he stayed on as an English teacher until from 1992-1998. "Sadly there's a lot of Japanese kids that speak English like hillbilly's all over Japan right now,"(As a result of his own accent) King said with a laugh.
After his six years of teaching English he decided to head back home to the bluegrass state where he took a job in Flemingsburg with Toyo Seat, a Japanese company, and a tier 3 supplier to Toyota. That job lasted several years and he eventually reached a point where he was ready to be his own boss, which is why he makes his living as a personal trainer today.
The most fun he's had knowing the language is when he's in the company of those who speak Japanese and they assume he does not. It's then that he'll speak up and look at their astonished faces with a little inside chuckle to himself. King had just finished several days here in Djibouti teaching Japanese Soldiers about IED's, in their native tongue.
Needless to say, it was the Soldiers of the Kentucky National Guard that got to chuckle to themselves when we looked around at our active duty counterparts in all the other branches, who were looking on in astonishment as one of these good 'ol Kentucky Guardsmen starting teaching a class on IED's, in Japanese.
These Soldiers aren't your typical Guard Soldiers.

Whistleblowers Testify on High Risk of Retaliation They Face for Going to Congress
United States government whistleblowers, who have gone to Congress in the past, have had a hugely positive impact. However, often government employees, who blow the whistle on fraud, waste, abuse and other examples of wrongdoing to members of Congress, face great risk to their livelihoods.
The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs held a hearing where whistleblowers testified about retaliation they have experienced.
An Army special forces officer, Jason Amerine, testified, "After I made protected disclosures to Congress, the Army suspended my [security] clearance, removed me from my job, launched a criminal investigation and deleted my retirement orders with a view to court martial me after I exercised that Constitutional right."
In 2013, Amerine worked in an office tasked with freeing Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who has being held hostage by the Taliban. His office saw the dysfunction in the process of trying to rescue hostages and pursued an option that would have involved swapping a warlord and ally of President Hamid Karzai, Haji Bashir Noorzai, for seven American hostages, including Bergdahl.
According to Amerine, when the Taliban was at the table negotiating, the State Department said it would have to go with a swap between Bergdahl and the five Taliban.
Amerine claims that there was also "a great deal of evidence" that the Defense Department and FBI were implicated in an "illegal or questionable ransom" for Bergdahl. When he turned to Representative Duncan Hunter's office, who is on the House Armed Services Committee, he eventually was put under criminal investigation.
Hunter setup a meeting between his office and the FBI. During the meeting, the FBI "formally complained to the Army that information" Amerine was "sharing with Rep. Hunter was classified. It was not." Hunter was also told that the FBI had respect for Amerine's work but they had to put him in his place.
Senior Special Agent Taylor Johnson of the Homeland Security Department's Office of Investigations testified about blowing the whistle on corruption surrounding an EB-5 project. (EB-5 is a program that allows foreign nationals to obtain green cards if they make investments of money in the US.)
Johnson said she uncovered evidence of major fraud, money laundering, bank and wire fraud, as well as "ties to organized crime and high ranking officials and politicians, who received large campaign contributions that appeared" to have helped facilitate the EB-5 project.
She reported what she was uncovering through proper channels. Outside agencies and high-ranking officials complained, and the investigation was shut down after a "congressional complaint" was received.
Soon after, Johnson recalled, "I was escorted by three supervisors from my desk and out of my permanent duty station. I was not permitted to access my case file or personal items. I was alienated from my friends and colleagues, who were told by management to steer clear of me since I was facing criminal charges. I was removed from my permanent duty station and initially assigned to an office over 50 miles from my home and family," a US code violation.
"I almost lost my youngest child, when an adoption social worker tried to verify employment and was told I had been terminated by the agency for a criminal offense," Johnson further testified.
Jose Rafael Ducos, a Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) chief officer, testified about being retaliated against for reporting overtime pay abuses and formally challenging his immediate supervisors' conduct. He claimed he was discriminated against because he is Hispanic.
For the past three years, he described workplace harassment and intimidation by individuals in CBP. He involved Sen. Ron Johnson, who sent a letter to Homeland Security Director Jeh Johnson on March 17, 2015, but he continues to be isolated and no longer is assigned to any permanent office.
"In my experience, congressional disclosures spark the ugliest retaliation," Tom Devine, the legal director of the Government Accountability Project (GAP) testified.
Devine suggested this is because Congress can be a "magnet for public attention" that "can act both to change the balance of resources and the rules of the game." A "direct linear relationship" exists between "the threat posed by a whistleblower and the severity of retaliation." In fact, FBI whistleblower Coleen Rowley once suggested that the FBI "viewed Congress with as much and sometimes more hostility" than "enemy nations."
Devine warned the committee that agencies are now relying on "creative harassment tactics" since the passage of the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act in 2012.
"Instead of just firing someone," agencies put whistleblowers "under criminal investigation but give them the choice of either resigning or facing a prosecutive referral," Devine explained. It is "very attractive" and "much easier" for them than litigation. They do not have to "prepare formal charges." All an agency needs is a "good investigative lawyer." The worst that can happen is the agency has to close a case. But the next month the agency can open another case against that whistleblower under a "new pretext."
Most alarming is the "sensitive jobs loophole" President Barack Obama's administration is creating. Devine argued the government is on the "verge of replacing the rule of law with a national security spoils system." (more…)

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio — The Gallia Academy golf team is headed to its fifth straight district tournament after finishing second overall Tuesday afternoon at the Division II sectional golf tournament held at the Shawnee State Golf Course in Scioto County.
The Blue Devils — who entered sectionals as defending champions — posted a team score of 332, which tied Chesapeake for the best four-man tally of the day. The Panthers, however, won the sectional title based on the tiebreaking fifth score from each squad.
Joining both the Blue Devils and Chesapeake (332) next Wednesday at the D-2 District Championships at Pickaway Country Club were Portsmouth (354), Hillsboro (363) and Jackson (366). River Valley just missed the cut by placing sixth in the 16-team field with a score of 380.
Rob Canady led Gallia Academy through 18 holes with a 3-over par round of 75, followed by Dares Hamid and Brady Curry with respective efforts of 81 and 82. Bruce Moreaux completed the team score with a 94, while Sean Saltzgaber supplied a tiebreaker score of 96.
GAHS recorded five birdies on the day, three of which were fired by Canady. Hamid and Curry also had a birdie each in advancing to districts.
Nick Duffield led CHS with a 78, followed by Shane Stevens and Eric Sias with respective rounds of 83 and 84. Seth Waggoner completed the team tally with an 87, while Drew Oxley ultimately provided the winning tiebreaker score of 88.
Austin Bagshaw of Hillsboro earned sectional medalist honors with an even par round of 72. The five individual qualifiers for districts were Todd Galloway (85) of Portsmouth West, Lane Bunnell (86) and Hunter Riepenhoff (90) of Wellston, Cameron Pope (87) of Northwest, and Logan Sheets of River Valley.
Sheets led the Raiders with a 92, followed by Jordan Howell and Dan Goodrich with respective rounds of 93 and 96. Jacob Gilmore completed the RVHS team total with a 99, while Zach Morris added a 119 for the Silver and Black.
Team finishes in seven through 16 order were: Northwest (385), Piketon (395), Ironton (400), Fairland (403), Portsmouth West (412), Wellston (423), Eastern Brown (426), Minford (435), South Point (453) and Rock Hill (554).

Hulk and Brooke Hogan's appearance on China, IL on Adult Swim will take place during the series' second season premiere on Sunday. Spinoff Online recently spoke with the producer of the show, Daniel Weidenfeld, about the Hogans' involvement.
"[Hulk] is excited about Brooke (Hogan)'s involvement, as well. He loves it. It's really great that we have Brooke, and that she's so talented. That gives him an additional investment," said Weidenfeld. "[Producer] Brad [Neely] had to go to Tampa to record him once, but for the most part, he does all of his recordings in Tampa remotely. He came here [Los Angeles] once, and I've never seen anything like it."

Junior Tom Ohlman will look to add his fourth top-10 finish of the season this weekend in Louisville.
Oct. 11, 2012
CINCINNATI- The Musketeer men's and women's cross country teams look to continue their strong seasons as they are set to compete at the NCAA Pre-Nationals Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky. Both teams are coming off a bye week after the women placed first and the men placed ninth at the All-Ohio Championship in Cedarville, Ohio. This race at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park in Louisville will be the fifth race of the season for the Musketeers.
The men's side is coming off their 4th straight top-10 finish of the season after their performance at the All-Ohio Championship two weeks ago. Junior Tom Ohlman has been the Musketeer's first overall finisher in each of the four races this season, all of which have placed him in the top-10 overall. Ohlman has also put himself into the Xavier record books with both of his 8K times this season, most notably his 24:39.5 that places him second fastest time in the 8k at the National Catholic Championship, a second and a half behind Tommy Kauffmann's fastest 8k time of 24:38. Senior captain Hank Geer has also been a strong finisher for the Musketeers so far this season, as he has been the second Musketeer in all of the races he has participated in. Geer has been very impressive coming off of an injury that kept him out of all of last year's races as he has finished 6th overall in multiple races this season. Redshirt senior Ben Foley has also been very strong for the Musketeers this season, finishing third for the Musketeers in each of the races he has ran. Foley has two top-30 finishes this season, including an 11th overall at the Queen City Invitational.
The men look to continue their top-10 overall team performances this weekend as they face the most diverse field of the season as teams from all over the country will be in Louisville on Saturday. The runners participating for the men this weekend in addition to Ohlman, Geer, and Foley will be: juniors Chris Hanson, Nick Kobunski, Spencer Liechty, and Keith Schenkel, sophomores Connor Buchholz, Aaron Moore, Matt Orlando, and Corey Zielinski, and freshman Austin Winter.
The women's cross country team has been very consistent so far in the 2012 season, including three first overall team finishes in the four events they have participate in this season. The Musketeers have been led by a strong start from junior Clare Fischer, who has finished first for the Musketeers in each of the three races she has run. Fischer has improved her time in every race so far this season, going from a finishing time of 18:47.81(2nd place overall) at the Queen City Invitational to 18:00.6 (15th overall) at the National Catholic Championship to 17:53.84 (3rd overall) at the All-Ohio Championship. Fischer has single-handedly rearranged the top-10 of the fastest women's 5k times with her performances this season and is the first woman to break into the Xavier top-5 since 2005. Her finishing time of 17:53.84 makes her the second fastest in Xavier history. Junior Jessica Albers has also been strong for the women's side this year with multiple top-30 finishes so far this season, including 5th overall at the Queen City Invitational. The women's side has seen a fair amount of contribution from the underclassmen: sophomore Audrey Ramos with three top-50 finishes, including a 7th overall finish at the Queen City Invitational, freshman Sarah Mazzei, who finished 11th overall in her first collegiate race at the Queen City Invitational, and freshman Victoria Ciotti, who has two top-25 finishes so far this season, including a 2nd overall finish in her first collegiate race at the Mount St. Joseph Invitational.
The women are of the seeded race on Saturday, which puts them among 8 of the top-25 teams in the country. The field includes national powers Florida State University, the University of Oregon, Georgetown University, and the University of Michigan as well as two other A-10 schools in Butler and Duquesne. Running for the women this weekend in Louisville, including Fischer, Albers, Ramos, Mazzei, and Ciotti will be: seniors Calesse Cardosi and Kaitlin Price, juniors Anna Ahlrichs and Abby Fischer, and sophomore Chelsea Hoffmaster.

Typically with jute rugs, the colors are muted, but with Green World Rugs, we are certain you will love the vibrant colors in each and every rug!
Care of your rug: Vacuum using the hard surface attachment. Spills should be cleaned as soon as possible. Spot cleaning with a non-bleach detergent is fine. For deep cleaning, we recommend seeking a professional dry cleaner. Contents: 99% Jute, 1% Polyester.
To protect your investment, use a rug pad. A rug pad provides traction between the rug and floor to prevent slipping. It adds padding and keeps the rug smooth and flat. Extending the life of the rug, a pad protects the backing and prevents any possible color transfer.

Since we've been discussing this spot in the thread about the Mini's leave-behind kit below, I thought it deserved a post of its own.
From Butler, Shine & Stern, and shot by red-hot Happy, it's a great product demo that continues the Mini tradition of standing out from other car commercials. That is, it looks nothing like other car commercials. (In a good way.)
I've seen this one on the air and even though a Mini is not in my immediate future, I was immediately struck by the underlying tonality of the spot: there's a real sense of fun and joie de vivre here that's (a) very much in the Mini's heritage and (b) often absent or forced in so many other car spots.

AMERICA'S GREAT OUTDOORS: Salazar, Bloomberg to Announce Major Partnership to Enhance Jamaica Bay as a Great Urban Park
Contact: Adam Fetcher (DOI), 202-208-6416
Julia Wood (Mayor's Press Office), 212-788-2958
NEW YORK CITY – On Tuesday, July 17, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will announce an innovative new partnership between the National Park Service and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation to cooperatively manage the City's and the National Park Service's urban parks in and around Jamaica Bay and connect urban communities to the natural beauty and history of the region. Today's announcement builds on a commitment made between the Mayor and the Secretary in October 2011 to work together to establish the Jamaica Bay area as a great urban park.
Earlier in the day, Secretary Salazar will deliver remarks as part of Greater & Greener: Re-Imagining Parks for 21st Century Cities – an international urban parks conference. He will discuss the Obama administration's bold vision to build and expand America's great urban parks so that they remain healthy, connected, and accessible to every American. More information is available here.
In cities and metropolitan areas across the country, the Department of the Interior is working with communities to connect people – especially young people – to green spaces, waterways, recreation opportunities and cultural landmarks. As part of President Obama's America's Great Outdoors initiative, Interior is expanding outdoor recreation opportunities, restoring urban natural resources, strengthening outreach programs for school children, improving connections among existing parks, and restoring public access to natural, cultural, and historic resources.
The Obama administration's America's Great Outdoors initiative supports locally-driven projects and strengthen economies by creating greater access to open spaces and outdoor recreation. These efforts are a direct result of the 51 listening sessions the Department of the Interior held with citizens across the U.S. who identified ways to strengthen their local economies and called for more access to green spaces, parks, and rivers where they live.

Passing GREEN Act, Green Education Provisions will Create Jobs and Boost Sustainability
The recommendations that Vice President Biden's Middle Class Task Force presented today to promote retrofits of homes and buildings is a valuable first step towards creating green communities and a green economy. They validate what the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and others have long been saying: that the opportunity to reap significant energy savings from buildings is there but is often held back by legal barriers," said AIA Executive Vice President, Christine McEntee.
In light of the downturn in the housing market and overall economy, homeowners are still adding energy-efficient options and low maintenance produces, while showing a lessened interest in special features such as home theaters, guest wings and three-car garages. Business conditions at residential architecture firms are stabilizing with the entry-level housing market showing a movement towards recovery. These findings are from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Home Design Trends Survey for the second quarter of 2009 that focused on emerging home features: systems, technologies and function rooms in the home. "There has been a decrease in popularity for certain energy-efficient products or systems, but overall they continue to be in demand from homeowners," said AIA Chief Economist, Kermit Baker, PhD, Hon. AIA. "And reflecting the current economic conditions, we have also seen a significant drop in the investment in theaters, guest or kid wings, mud rooms and other specialty features."
All regions and sectors suffer due to ongoing credit market issues for construction projects.
Another stall in the recovery for the construction industry as the Architecture Billings Index (ABI) dropped to its lowest level since June. As a leading economic indicator of construction activity, the ABI reflects the approximate nine to twelve month lag time between architecture billings and construction spending. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) reported the August ABI rating was 41.7, down slightly from 43.1 in July. This score indicates a decline in demand for design services (any score above 50 indicates an increase in billings). The new projects inquiry score was 55.2.

A great resource from Shearman & Sterling, in their note marking the end of the briefing war in the Argentine vs holdouts pari passu saga.
It's a schematic of the arguments which the Second Circuit will likely consider when deciding appeals against an order for Argentina to pay holdouts alongside restructured bondholders. Some of the arguments are key. Some are not so key. Read more

I am a big proponent of homebirth, it just isn't for me and my family, just a personal preference. I have had 2 hospital births. The first was not what I wanted, so I made the decision that the second one would be, and it was. I was allowed to drink water freely in labor, had no interventions at all, pushed on my hands and knees, the cord had stopped pulsing before it was cut, my midwife and 1 nurse were the only attendants (other than dh and SIL), the baby was put immediately on my chest to nurse, and left there for nearly 2 hours before he was weighed, measured, etc. They did take him to the nursery, but waited until I was to the point that I could take him there myself, so we were not separated at all. He was never out of arm's reach during our whole stay, which was only 24 hrs. Nobody balked at that, either. I see very, very little anywhere about positive hospital birthing, and just wanted to share my experience!

Q:Is there a shampoo that has a similar earthy smell?Asked on 9/19/2013 by Teresa from Ontario
2 answers
A:We don't carry a shampoo with the same lovely scent as Grass, but you can certainly use this shower gel (and almost any of our other shower gels!) as a shampoo. If you're looking for a dedicated shampoo with a nice earthy scent, Washday Greens or Reincarnate would be your best bets!Answered on 9/20/2013 by Brandy from LUSH
A:Not that I know of, but I use this as shampoo.

FASTORQ Rings in the New Year with Acquisition of ZipNut Technology, LLC
(Houston) A long-standing and prosperous business relationship moved to the next level on January 1 when FASTORQ, a pioneer of the hydraulic tool industry, purchased ZipNut Technology, LLC.
Prior to the sale, the Houston-based FASTORQ incorporated and patented ZipNut Technology into many of its tools and was the exclusive manufacturer of ZipNut Technology for the energy industry.
"We are all excited to have the opportunity to continue to spread the word about ZipNut," states Bill Washington, FASTORQ Director of Business Development. "We think it is fantastic technology. Some of the best applications for ZipNut are yet to come."…
Torque vs. Tension: Is There a Clear Winner?!
From the July 2013 Wind Systems Magazine
Analyzing the individual applicational needs of critical bolted joints is key when choosing bolting techniques and equipment.
The debate rages on about whether torque or tension is the best method to preload a fastener, and it is nearly as controversial as the age-old question of which came first… the chicken or the egg?
Each side argues that their method is the best. However, the real question, and true heart of the matter, is whether torque or tension is the best method for each job's specific bolting application…

Obamacare fallout
September 23, 2013 - Harry Eagar
Remember those predictions that Obamacare would result in lost jobs; or reduction of full-time jobs to part-time; or to ditching company medical plans?
Not at the nation's biggest retailer. Bloomberg News sez:
"Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is moving 35,000 part-time workers to full-time status and is elevating another 35,000 to part-time from temporary after struggling to keep shelves stocked with too few employees in the past year."
Reading further, it seems the geniuses in Bentonville (who don't even trust their managers to turn on the lights) cut payrolls by 10% while adding 500 stores. But it turns out workers are valuable to businesses after all.
Article Comments(2)

Company did not want to pay benefits but workers would strike, so they agreed by members vote. Not all voted in favor. Since this happened many full timers lost their jobs.
Sep-24-13 8:47 PM
Part-time was 20 hours a week. Union reps and owners got together and said that a part-timer can work 40 hours but without full time benefits. Many wanted the hours and did not care about the Health Benefits. Many had parents to take care of that.
Now they have families and still part-time without the Health Insurance. Now they cannot because they are not full time workers. Many worked part-time because they had other jobs. Aloha Airlines gave free flying benefits and many wanted that benefit. 20 hours a week was fine for flying free. Many lost their jobs outside and working part-time did not cut it. Unions and company said to give part-timers who now worked 40 hours benefits. Company did not.
Part-timers were used to save overtime and many worked middle shifts and nights. Using Aloha Airlines is just an example. Part-time should only be 20 hours a week, mainly done by student s of age to work.

Square Enix apologizes for Deus Ex jailbreak restriction, promises fix
Square Enix has apologized for preventing its recently-released action role playing game Deus Ex: The Fall from working on jailbroken iOS devices and promises an update, according to Eurogamer.
Deus Ex: The Fall is the first game for mobile based on the popular cyberpunk action RPG series, most recently seen in 2011's Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Within hours of the game's release on Wednesday, a Reddit user discovered that he couldn't fire guns in the game on his jailbroken iOS device - an error message popped up informing him of the limitation.
No mention of this is made in the game's release notes posted to the App Store, and Square Enix has, to date, not offered an explanation for why this restriction exists. But it's safe to presume that it was a hamhanded attempt at piracy control, since pirates routinely jailbreak their iOS device to install pirated software.
Not all users who jailbreak their iOS devices are pirates, however - some simply want to install software that doesn't pass muster with Apple's App Store review team, like customization software that makes user experience changes forbidden by Apple's licenses.
Within a day or so, players had already found a workaround for the limitation, which defeats the apparent point of the restriction. So Square Enix is backing off and will remove it in a forthcoming update.
In a statement, the company said that it had "not been clear" in communicating the restriction, so "the right thing to do" is to switch off this restriction in an update - a rather convoluted way of admitting fault.
Is Square Enix capitulating to pirates, or were they in the wrong to begin with? Are you more likely to buy Deus Ex now that this restriction has been lifted? Were you affected by it? Let me know in the comments!

Square Enix apologizes for Deus Ex jailbreak restriction, promises fix
I suspect they didn't mention it ahead of time because it's a dog whistle for would-be pirates, h4xx0rz and script kiddies. "Oh, won't work on a jailbroken phone, eh? We'll see about that!"
And sure enough, it was defeated within a few hours of the initial Reddit post. So it was all for naught. It was a bad idea that was poorly executed.
Things like this always hurt the legitimate buyers. The pirates will always find a way around limitations like this. Kind of a catch 22 for developers though. You have to make it hard enough that most people can't pirate your software but do it in a way that legitimate buyers aren't hampered to much.
I was going to buy this, then read about the restriction in an AppStore review (luckily before buying it, would have tried to get a refund otherwise). I have a jailbroken device and don't pirate apps. I'm not buying this game and the update won't change that - f*** SquareEnix, thank you very much.

The best way that I've ever tested the straightness of sticks
I accidentally discovered that the die-cast hoop on my snare is a great way to test the straightness of my sticks! I have my snare at home with me and I'm using the sticks that I practice with on my practice pad. Well, for some reason, when I was done playing with my snare 2 nights ago I decided to put these sticks on just the hoop (completely off the head), but I didn't angle them quite right the first time in order to prevent them from rolling off. So the sticks began rolling very slowly and I noticed that the rolling motion was uneven and so I quickly grabbed one and let the other continue. Immediately, I slowed it down some more then it rocked back and forth several times and came to a rest. The other stick did the same thing, but it wasn't as bad. Surprised, I took a careful look at them lengthwise and sure enough, they're both slightly warped. After that, I kept repeating the same thing over and over in utter amazement at how great of a test my die-cast hoop is for testing the straightness of sticks! lol Who knew?
So, I bought some new sticks today using the exact same method at the store to test the straightness of the sticks that I wanted to buy. I had some picked out after testing them for weight (I like the heaviest 5A's that I can find from Vic Firth). Then, I went and found a nice snare with a die-cast hoop and started rolling my sticks on the hoop! lol I probably could've just used any flanged hoop, but I wanted to be sure. Fortunately, the sticks I selected turned out to be perfectly straight, with an perfectly even rolling motion - like a good ball bearing! :)
So, I'll never again buy sticks without rolling them on a good hoop first.
Note: the sticks should be rolled very slowly. That way, you can also see if they rock back and forth in addition to seeing if the rolling motion is even. Of course, the snare should be mostly level.
Re: The best way that I've ever tested the straightness of sticks
I just roll them on a table...
That way the whole stick will be in contact with a straight surface and be more telling if there is any warping.

Re: The best way that I've ever tested the straightness of sticks
Was taught to do it as a kid and have rolled sticks ever since. I do it on the counter or floor of the store before I pay for the things. In fact, don't think I've ever bought a pair of sticks that I haven't rolled. Even when I was getting sticks made for me and bought them in bulk, I rolled them before putting them in a stick bag.

Re: The best way that I've ever tested the straightness of sticks
Oh. I've never felt comfortable trusting the flatness of counter tops or a table. When I'm rolling them on my hoop, I'm noticing very subtle differences in the way that they roll. I had taken some time just now to more closely inspect the 3 pairs that I bought, and it turns out that only 1 pair seems absolutely perfect. One of the other two has a very slight warp that's only possible to detect with slower rolling, and the other pair of these two others has a slightly more obvious warp, but they're still much better than the pair I was using before. I doubt that the slight warping I discovered in these 'other' 2 pairs is going to affect my playing. lol
What I'm liking about rolling them on a hoop is if they're rolled very slowly and if they're warped, then they will rock back and forth and come to a rest due to the taper toward the tip. I am also able to hear the warp easier because the head amplifies the sound. So the way I'm doing it so far is, if the snare is tilted slightly toward me (and it needs to be a slight tilt - too much and the stick slides off), then I roll the stick across from left to right or right to left. That way it can also roll back and forth due to gravity so I don't have to keep pushing it thereby allowing me to just observe.
Although, the snare I rolled my sticks on in the store was on display and tilted too far forward. So, I had to roll the stick toward me and try to control its speed without stopping its rolling motion. There weren't any snares on the drum kits that had die-cast hoops, but maybe I'll try them next time since I would be able to adjust the tilt of the snare. That way, I'll be able to do it properly, like I can do here at home.
So, I guess Vic Firth's sticks aren't always perfectly straight.
I realize though that maybe I'll find for myself that rolling them on a table or the glass counter top at the store is a better idea (although, a flat piece of glass is not perfectly flat). The problem with that though is there isn't always enough room. If there is, then it could be right at the register and then I'd be in the way. Rolling them on the floor isn't an option where I shop either because there's carpet. Of the places where there is hard floor, it's not a good place to go rolling sticks. So, I'll see how this goes - but it will be several months or even a year or more before I need more sticks.

Hayden Shapes 5'8 Hypto Krypto Future Flex Epoxy Surfboard
The Hypto Krypto is the most versatile shape in the Haydenshapes range, enabling it to be ridden in waves from 1ft to 8ft. It paddles like a dream due to the volume and flatter rocker. You ride the Hypto Krypto on the open face, drawing fast, flowing lines with all the speed it provides.
The outline resembles an old school twin fin in the nose, yet pulls into a rounded pin tail which will give you plenty of hold in the bigger stuff, and provide a lot of curve around the back foot. You can use the wider, straighter outline forward on the board to give you speed down the line and the rounded pintail to draw tighter arcs in the pocket.
Although the rocker of the Hypto Krypto is flat, Hayden has snuck in a little extra lift in the entry to add some curve up front; this helps taking off late, or turning in the steeper sections of the wave. The design of the rocker has been focused around speed, and more speed! The Hypto has never been shaped as a quad because it is too fast already, you'll find yourself making sections down the line that you would never expect to make.
The foil has plenty of volume around the chest and center area of the board, yet it refines out to a thinner, more pinched rail to keep the board connected to the wave. The concave runs from a rolled vee in the entry, to a slight single transitioning into a vee double out the tail, which gives the board great speed and control from rail to rail.
Overall the Hypto Krypto is the one stop board that you can travel all around the world having fun in average conditions, as well as taking to the barrel and open face when the swell pumps!

Boy's Strength Fights Rare Disease
Early this year, a rare disease began to attack Christopher Armstrong's lungs. It's the sort of thing the 8-year-old Cedar Hill boy has learned to live with, since being diagnosed five years ago with the condition that first affected his eyes and moved on to compromise his nervous system and muscles.
"It's called Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy," says Christy Lucas, spitting out a mouthful of words that shouldn't come easy to someone who studied accounting rather than medicine. Still, the mother of two says she has had to learn many new things over the course of Christopher's illness. "I never thought I would know as much as I do about medicine and hospitals, but Christopher's CIDP has been a real educational adventure for all of us."
Lucas says her son is one of only nine children in the country who have CIDP, a condition that is considered rare even in the relatively more common cases involving young adults. She keeps a list of all the other affected children, and keeps in touch with their families to monitor how the other children are doing.
CIDP affects the myelin sheath that covers the nerve, and results in slowing and abnormal conduction of impulses that affect movement, power and sensation in the limbs. In children it tends to produce a slowly progressive course and is always months to years in duration with some (but limited) responsiveness to steroids or immune modulating treatments.
"Christopher is a young man who faces many challenges," says Dr. Thomas Geller, a neurologist who heads Christopher's treatment team at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center. "In spite of his condition, Christopher shows that he has true grit. He keeps a very positive mental attitude and a realistic perspective on what he can accomplish each day.
Christopher was born six weeks early, but he was otherwise perfectly healthy and normal. At age three and a half, however, his pupils became unequally dilated, with one pupil a tiny dot and the other wide open. Soon, Christopher lost depth perception and began losing the ability to focus in one eye. Lucas says she feared her young son was slowly losing his sight.
"He's been through spinal taps and muscle biopsies, but the thing he hates worst of all is having his eyes dilated (for a medical examination). My father says that's because he knows what it's like to start going blind, so the dilation scares him," Lucas says.
Christopher's eye trouble ended as suddenly as it began, and his sight returned to perfect 20/20 vision. At age 4, the disease began to attack the young boy's nervous system, requiring his family to help with simple tasks like dressing, going to the bathroom and getting into bed. He also has experienced weakness in the muscles of his arms and legs, requiring that he spend much of his time in a wheelchair.
"CIDP is like that; it changes its mind on where it wants to attack the body next," Lucas explains. "It comes and goes; I'd say we've had about four and a half months of remission in the last five years."
Most of the time, Lucas says, her son's nerve condition is painful and radiates throughout his body.
During those times of remission, when everything with Christopher seems fine, Lucas says the family tries to maximize the time until the symptoms flare up again.
"We try to make sure that he gets to do everything a boy could want to do during those times. For instance, riding a bicycle is a great accomplishment for him," she says. "We try to cram in lots of activities when he's feeling well, so he'll have the fun memories to carry him through the hard times."
In the last several months, she says, CIDP has weakened the muscles around Christopher's lungs, affecting his ability to take in a full breath. The progression of his illness has also affected the family financially, with insurance covering progressively less of the costs for medications and equipment Christopher needs.
The family's congregation, Cedar Hill Lutheran Church, is holding a benefit this Saturday, April 28, from 6-11 p.m., at the High Ridge Elks Lodge. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for teens and $5 for children 12 years and younger. Proceeds will help the family with the overwhelming expense of Christopher's illness. For more information, call the church at (636) 274-4802.
"One of the things that people always say about Christopher is that he seems so happy, and he really is," Lucas says. "He's young, but he's been raised in the church and has always believed that God has a purpose for this. The thing he talks about more than anything is that he'd like to be a missionary. I'd love to see that dream come true for him, to see him share his story with other people."

Imagine a galaxy torn by war. Two armies locked in combat that could end life as we know it. Earth has fallen to a race of terrible machines known as the Coross Legions, led by their cruel sentient masters, the Overlords. However, Humanity is not without is allies, as the Galactic Alliance strives to defeat the Legion and return the Humans back to their home. The Endless War rages on, and the victor is not yet clear. But while the two forces struggle, the dark secrets of the Galaxy begin to unravel, and a dark evil rises from its forgotten tomb.
-Name Changed to Dominion: Final Conflict
-Website has been redone to better represent the game, as the old set up was confusing and hard to follow. Every thing has been organized much better.
-Galactic Dominion has been changed to the Galactic Alliance (Dominion sounded too much like a dictatorship, which is exactly the opposite for what they stand for).
-Coross Horde has been changed to the Coross Legions to better describe their militaristic nature (the Horde sounded too much like a nation of savages).
-Classes have been created to a better description of personal preference, enough to release some info about them: Soldier, Mercenary, Scholar, and Guardian.
-Story has been edited, and is now a better representation of the final product. It has been adapted to allow for the creation of Storm Enclave, Shattered

Nokia 3110c Applications Problem

I've received a lot of comments from friends that the Nokia 3110c is not a very good phone when it comes to applications. Come to think of it, that's strange. I did try downloading the Oxford mobile dictionary to the 3110c but all it did was display an unknown application that I can't open.
Even the Nokia service hub in SM City Mandurriao is of no use. They can't even give me a straight answer why Nokia 3110c applications aren't downloading properly. And aren't these guys supposed to have an idea why this is happening? They're paid to have answers for customers like me who have problems with their phones. Really!
Personally, I'm a happy user of Nokia. My first phone was a Nokia 3315 and until it's final beep last August, it still kept my family in touch with each other. So was the Nokia 3220, with it's cute disco lights that sure made parties at night cool. And they're all quite reliable, too. So I wonder, is something wrong with my phone? Anyway, what can you expect from a $90 phone that is merely designed for essential (re: bare-bone basic) uses.
The answer came from a pretty good techie I found at the mall's basement. The reason why my phone doesn't seem to do well with applications is because of its generation. Older generations of multimedia phones like the 6600 and 5300 are capable of downloading more types of applications since Nokia enabled them. The newer types, especially the 3110c, are not totally capable of using some programs. Why? Because Nokia has restricted their phones' software to accept only compatible ones (re: made by Nokia). Still, you can find good Nokia 3110c applications from third-party software makers by downloading them from the web - with one catch.
Great! I guess Nokia 3110c applications are a bit of a nuisance for phone owners since, according to my new friend, you'll have to find independent third-party application dealers on your own, since Nokia won't advertise them. The reason? Competition. You can't believe how much Nokia fears third-party application makers since these can get a pretty good slice off the company's after-sales profits. You can see from the proliferation of games, apps, and music offered and downloaded by billions, I repeat, billions of users around the world, and you can get a fairly good picture of what I'm saying. I mean, if Nokia can control even just one area of those needs, then they can manipulate it into a profitable revenue stream. Big bucks, anyone?
Anyway, Nokia restricting their phones isn't really a big deal. With the mobile world affected by wave after wave of mobile viruses, trojans, and worms, you'd better go for the original thing. I'd do that, too. If that's the only way to make sure my phone is safe (and avoid those costly trips back to your friendly phone repairman to clean up your infected phones), I'm willing to shell-out a few bucks. Also saves me the hassle of finding the right programs and apps for my 3110c.
Except that Nokia doesn't have a dictionary software for my phone. Aahhrgh!
I'm still looking for the compatible app for my phone. If worse comes to worst, I'll have to reformat the 3110c's software, have my techie friend tweak it a bit to accept some programs (voids any warranty for your phone, but if you're really that desperate, go ahead).
If you guys are also looking for one, good luck. Who knows what surprises lay ahead in the search for The One. Life's always been a box of Nerds. The sour ones come in all shapes and sizes.
Happy hunting!

Next month you turn six.I am writing this little note for you to read, when you are old enough to understand what I have written..may be its in a years time maybe ten..the time really doesn't matter...
I want you to understand and hopefully remember, the lovely relationship we had for these past 6 years. Isn't it ironic that we humans can remember very little of the first few years of our life when we our most loved and cherished!!!!
We will never be as close to each other as we have been these last six years...we've had a lot of lovely moments together. Now as you enter a new phase of life I can see your baby features melt into some thing more mature..but every bit as adorable. You are growing into a sensitive and loving person and for that I''m thankful to god....for there is only so much a mother can do; the rest of it she just has to keep her fingers crossed!!!
Your occasional temper tantrums still continue to worry me ...well I guess we'll have to just work harder on that one.
I know we may opt for different paths in our journey together, but I promise to let you choose your own path.(though I will be following at a safe distance..I'm still your mother!!!!) I also know that having to let go of your hand from my safe clasp, will be more difficult for me than for you..but I promise to try my best, for your sake.
What are my dreams for you? My dream is that you be able to
" think deeply, speak gently
love much, laugh often

In a nested case-comparison study, Black et al. (2004a) conducted face-to-face interviews with 602 veterans in 1999-2002. They used the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID) with a random group of veterans drawn from strata of the PRIME-MD-interviewed group who reported one or more of the following symptom-based conditions during their previous interview: depression (major or minor depression), widespread chronic pain (established criteria for generalized, severe, and chronic pain), and cognitive dysfunction (amnesia or cognitive impairment of a moderate and prolonged intensity). Veterans were stratified by each symptom combination (one, two, or all) and by deployed or non-deployed status. Controls did not have any of those conditions and might have been deployed or not deployed. The veterans were selected randomly for interview from each stratum to optimize the match between cases and controls; interviewers were trained in the use of the diagnostic instruments.
Personality disorders were assessed with the SNAP (Schedule for Nonadaptive and Adaptive Personality). Level of functioning was assessed using the SF-36 (36-Item Short-Form Health Survey). The Whiteley Index was used to determine hypochondriasis. The study found a 32% rate of lifetime depression diagnosis (all types) and that was the same in deployed and nondeployed veterans. There were few diagnostic differences between the depressed deployed and the depressed nondeployed veterans, except for PTSD (27.3% in deployed, 5.0% in non-deployed), anxiety disorders (51.5% deployed and 25.0% non-deployed) and any disorder (68.2% deployed and 51.7% non-deployed). The deployed depressed veterans were more likely to have a diagnosis of any substance-use disorder (69.7% in deployed vs 51.7% in non-deployed). What was most surprising about the direct interview analysis was that there was so little difference between the deployed and the nondeployed veterans in aspects of depression (36.6% vs 30.3%). Most differences were found in anxiety disorder (51.5% vs 25.0%) as noted above.
Kang et al. (2003) conducted a population-based stratified random sample of 15,000 US Gulf War troops compared to a similar sample of troops deployed elsewhere. Phase 1 was a mail survey and phase 2 was a telephone-based survey of PTSD symptoms and chronic fatigue (CFS) symptoms. In the interview cohort, 12.1% of Gulf War veterans and 4.3% of other veterans had symptoms of PTSD, with an adjusted OR of 3.1 (95% CI 2.7-3.4) for PTSD in the Gulf War group; and 6% of the Gulf War veterans and 1.2% of the other veterans (OR 4.8) had CFS symptoms. It was interesting to note that PTSD symptoms showed a monotonic relationship to intensity of war stress, whereas the CFS symptoms did not show any relationship to war stress. The rates of PTSD tracked rates of stressors closely. Deployment, but not war stress, was associated with CFS symptoms.
Wolfe et al. (1999a; 1999b), and Proctor et al. (1998) examined cohorts of veterans randomly sampled and stratified from the Fort Devens and New Orleans-deployed Gulf War veterans, as well as a cohort deployed to Germany (a noncombat area). The Gulf War-deployed veterans from Fort Devens were followed longitudinally from the day of their arrival home from the gulf (time 1) to about 2 years later (time 2) with a 78% participation rate. The Fort Devens cohort was mainly male, Caucasian, and National Guard; rates of PTSD measured at time 1 were 3%. From those cohorts, stratified random samples were selected for closer study with direct interview (220 of the Fort Devens cohort, 73 of the New Orleans cohort, and 48 of the Germany-deployed). The researchers used questionnaires (the 52-item expanded Health Symptoms Checklist [HSC] and the Expanded Combat Exposure Scale), a neuropsychologic test battery, an environmental interview, and psychiatric diagnostic instruments (the Clinician-Administered

where to go for the most romantic dinner
Cost is really not an issue .......within reason
re: Spiritchaser
The food is good at each, but I personally find Picholine a bit too stiff, with too many wait persons assigned to watch your table hawkishly, to be romantic by my standards. (I haven't been to Daniel since its renovation at the end of last year.)
I don't like to criticize other people's suggestions without also offering one up myself for criticism. I'm having a hard time thinking of one, though, since so many of the smaller, cozier places I like closed down!
Here's my best thought for now :The Modern Dining Room is wonderful for food and service (not hovery, but always present if you need anything). The booths are great for dates; some allow you to sit side by side, if you prefer that seating arrangement. However, according to a recent review by Miss Needle, if you're seated against the wall dividing it from the Modern Bar Room, the noise level can be higher than ideal for a romantic dinner. If you go, ask for one of the tables by the window.
