Launched in the summer of 2007, Vava by Joy Han is a sister brand to Voom, Joy Hans first collection. Starting at the very young age of seven, Joy began to sew doll sized replicas of the couture bridal dresses in her mothers salon. Seeing the talent in her daughter at such a young age, Joys mother sent her to study fashion design abroad. With a full scholarship to the American Intercontinental University, Joy received her bachelors degree in fashion design in 1998. Beginning her first line in 2002, Joy Han created Voom and with it the new style genre Twisted Vintage, a retro inspiration to modern sportswear. This new style was all about creating fashionable pieces that transcend both seasons and trends, allowing women to wear these pieces over and over and save themselves a little bit of money in the process. After finding success in her first brand, Joy Han created Vava, her second (but not last) brand. Featured in numerous publications including Elle Italia, Lucky, Glamour, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, and InStyle and seen on celebrities like Jessica Simpson, Eva Longoria, Miley Cyrus, and Selena Gomez, Vava by Joy Han is always on trend. And found in over 600 boutiques across the globe, make sure to keep your eye out for a Vava sale today!
Focusing on a more price conservative collection than her previous brand, Vava features feminine and sexy pieces with the same unique twisted vintage inspiration of Voom. Featuring bright colors and prints in all designs, funky details, and unique silhouettes with cutouts and off the shoulder necklines, this collection will make any woman feel young and hip. Easily transitioning from day to night, Vava dresses are a must have for any fashion-savvy woman.

Comments about Metolius Torque Nut Tool:
Got a stuck nut? This is the best tool! When I'm faced with some serious exposure, and all i have is a stopper, you better believe that guy is going to be sunk. This nut tool works super well for popping that bad boy right out of there. It has a nice rounded feel with a flat end so hitting the nut with a little force to pop it out doesn't kill your palm. Also it is very light for its length. So reaching back into a crack with it to snag the cam lobes isn't so bad either. The really cool thing is that when you come to a bolt somewhere in your mixed climb and that thing is spinning like a 90's break-dancer you can use your tool to tighten it back down!
Overall, it's money well spent!

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The Governor and his Commissioner of Education released their controversial plan to give schools across the state a grade, the same way students are graded.
Of the state's 422 elementary schools 81-percent received a C or better. Only 69-percent of the state's High Schools got those grades.
The Governor's Commissioner of education says parents hear all kinds of information about test scores being thrown around and schools given titles, but no one knows what it all means. He says simplifying it into grades of A, B, C, D or F is something everyone can understand.
Groups representing teachers, administrators and school boards say the grades given to elementary and high schools show a a major flaw. The schools that fail are generally in the state's poorest communities, where extra resources for education are scarce.
While the governor says failing grades will motivate teachers, students and their parents to help improve the school's grades, others say it will do just the opposite.
"When you tell these children now their schools, which are the centers of their universe, are now graded and receiving F's I think its really demoralizing for students", said Connie Brown of the Maine School Management Association.
The Governor says his only motivation here is to improve Maine's schools. He says this is data relying heavily on Math and Reading, the two subjects he feels are most important to students. That data is put together to come up with grades for schools just like students are graded.
"I want the good schools to be rewarded and those that aren't doing as well we want to be able to help them", said Governor LePage.
The state was given an overall grade of C. The grades will be updated each year. The next grades for high schools will be released in the fall. The elementary school grades will come out next spring.

Am always in search of love and respect...which i received from animals (pets) and thus here is my love n respect for them..!
Anything and everything
I'm Kassandra. Animal rights are my biggest passion and I was lucky enough to help expand and express that through the 2012-2013 peta2 Youth Advisory Board.
I was born and raised in Canada, music is my life, I enjoy yoga, photography and just being around others. Peace, Spiritual enlightenment, and freedom are my core in life. looking for a friend, or just some one to talk to, I'm here for you. :)
I really hope that I don't sound shallow or egocentric in the things I say here, but I just like to be as truthful and open as possible with people, even if I don't know them...
Over the past few years I have battled ADHD, major depression, self-harm, and a borderline eating disorder. I have discovered a lot about me and have been forced to face the insults and discrimination that have come along with living as me.
I guess my life has been tough compared to most people's my age, but I try (and mostly succeed, thankfully) to keep a positive outlook and help as many people, animals, and organizations as I can. I know what its like to be in a bad place in your life, and I want to make sure that I help as many beings as possible know that they aren't alone in it, and help them out of it if possible.

School Programs
To help fulfill its educational mission, the Arnold Arboretum offers nature programs with a focus on plant science to elementary and preschool children and their teachers. It also conducts an annual horticultural practicum for students from Norfolk County Agricultural High School.
School Programs began at the Arboretum in 1984 in response to a request to local museums from Boston Public Schools for help with science instruction. This need continues today, illustrated by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino's "Step-Up" program, which challenged Boston's largest institutions of higher learning to assist troubled schools.
Through its unique relationship with the City of Boston, the Arboretum has been increasingly committed to improving local science education. The programs emphasize depth over breadth, and consequently field study programs are offered to approximately 2,000 students annually. In a small group setting that emphasizes inquiry and hands-on learning, students receive increased attention with a well-trained volunteer as their guide through the landscape.
For more information, call 617.384.5239 or send a query by email.
Elementary School Programming:
Field Study Experiences
Each fall and spring, upper elementary school classes visit the Arboretum to learn about seasonal phenomena related to woody plants. We offer three programs: Plants in Autumn (seed dispersal), Flowers Change (the story of reproduction in flowering plants), and Native Trees/Native Peoples (a comparison of evergreen and deciduous trees used by Native Americans to meet basic survival needs).
Hemlock Hill: A Changing Community
Created to address fifth grade science standards in the Boston Public Schools, this field study offers students an opportunity to explore a hemlock ecosystem, classify the organisms they encounter, and determine how each organism gets the energy it needs to survive.
Head Start Initiative
Training, programs, and bus transportation have been provided to nearby Boston Head Start centers to introduce the Arboretum as a local resource for learning about the natural world for children from low-income families, their parents, and their teachers.
School Partnerships
In cooperation with Harvard University, the Arnold Arboretum has focused resources on improving science education at neighboring Boston Teachers Union School.
High School Horticultural Practicum:
Norfolk County Agricultural High School Practicum
In 2008, the Arnold Arboretum and the Norfolk County Agricultural High School (NCAHS) initiated a partnership to offer students a practicum in the care of plant collections and public garden landscapes. Initially a two week experience, the program has expanded to include four weeks on the grounds of the Arboretum with an interim week of biotechnology studies at Massachusetts Bay Community College.

NEWPORT CITY – On any given day, the sound of soothing music comes from the speakers of a nearby MP3 player and the low hum of a potter's wheel fills the air. It's just a typical day for Diana Poulin of Muddy Water's Pottery on Elm Street.
Prior to opening her Elm Street workshop and retail shop six months ago, Poulin rented space from Doug Hamblett off East Main Street.
"I decided that I really loved it. It was time to build my own studio, so here I am," said Poulin.
Prior to working with Hamblett, Poulin took classes at numerous pottery studios in the Waterbury-Stowe area. Poulin eventually started her own classes in Newport City. "It turned out really nicely for everybody."
Poulin got her first taste of pottery in college, but got busy and didn't really get to it until years later. At first, she thought pottery would be a hobby, but it has turned into a full-time job.
Poulin teaches beginner and intermediate classes, but doesn't consider herself an expert.
"I learn right along with my students," she said. "Fortunately, I've been able to stay ahead of them."
The hardest and most frustrating thing about pottery is getting beyond the first five classes, Poulin said. It is also not necessary to have an artistic ability and people should not be scared of it.
Poulin said there is something about playing with clay. "I think it's just really fun," said Poulin.
It takes different times to make different products. For example, making a cup is more difficult than making a bowl.
Poulin makes products for Jed's Maple Products. She currently has products at Long Meadow Farms Quilts on the Causeway in Newport City and the Memphremagog Arts Collaborative on Main Street. Poulin would like to build a clientele and encourages people to contact her. She has 80 new pieces about every six weeks.

Police raid fortified indoor pot grow
EUGENE, Ore. - Police raided indoor marijuana growing operations at two homes on Thursday morning, including one in a fortified home across the street from a school.
Two men were taken into custody after an interagency narcotics team searched a 24th Avenue home across the street from the Arts & Technology Academy at Jefferson, a K-8 school.
Michael Peter Cain, 34, and Michael Munter, 27, face charges of manufacturing, distributing and possessing a controlled substance.
A third man was arrested at a Dove Lane home in the Bethel neighborhood. Joshua Springer, 28, faces the same charges.
Both homes had fortified doors, dogs and other fortifications. A pig roamed the yard outside the Dove Lane home.
The search is ongoing, and the scale of the grow operation is not yet fully known, according to Melinda McLaughlin with the Eugene Police Department.
"This is very close to a school, across the street from a school," she said. "It's very concerning, neighbors have been complaining for a significant time. The investigation has been ongoing for about a year. It's a very large grow with fortifications, firearms and dogs for security, makes it a risky operation for the neighorhood. It becomes a possibility as a target for home invasions also if somebody were to try and rip off the place. There could be exchanges of gun fire. There's a lot of concerns that go into that type of thing."

Tickets to Finland through airberlin will take you to a preserved land bordering Sweden and Russia, with a coastline on the Baltic Sea. This Scandinavian country has more trees than citizens, expansive forests replete with crystal clear streams and rivers. Finland is home to over 188,000 lakes and more islands than any other nation, making rural retreats from urban environments a convenient and tempting prospect.
Top Finland Attractions
- Glide along cross-country trails that bisect the countryside and soar down the steep routes found throughout Finland on skis or a snowboard
- Take a trip to the 18th-century maritime fortress of Suomenlinna, a 105-cannon stronghold spanning eight separate islands and connected to Helsinki
- Gaze upon the Northern Lights, swirls of dancing ethereal ribbons in the sky that can be seen up to 200 days per year in Finland's more northern locations
Hidden Gems in Finland
With your flight deals to Finland you can explore the Arctic Circle and the Finnish part of Lapland. A team of huskies will take your sled towards untouched lands that would be otherwise inaccessible. Be inspired like so many Finnish artists when your flights to Finland whisk you away to the rolling forested hills of Koli National Park, site of magnificent landscapes and the remnants of an ancient people.
Finland's Pleasures
Have a bowl of creamy 'lohikeitto', a dill-garnished salmon, potato, and leek soup that is sure to warm you up on the chilliest of days. Top off any meal with a smooth 'vispipuuro' (whipped porridge) or a slice of 'mustikkapiirakka' (blueberry pie).
Plan Your Finland Holiday
The busiest times to travel to Finland are December and July when local festivities are in full swing. Several music festivals are held during the summer, and the midnight sun is a popular attraction for tourists. Cheap hotels in Finland are most commonly found during the less crowded months of September and October. airberlin's convenient Check-In Services will save you time on your next Finland trip.

Comments about Galaxy Audio AS-1100 UHF Wireless Personal Monitor:
Not happy..I play bass in an 8 piece band..bass, guitar, piano, drums, trumpet, bone, sax and female vocalist. I prefer the entire mix in my ultimate ears personal monitors. Terrible buzzing sound with every note I play on the bass. Happens with guitar too. Everything else is crystal clear. I called Galaxy and was told that they were aware that it was happening and that it was an EQ problem with the system. He suggested that I roll off some of the bottom end on the EQ mix going to the monitors from our mixing board. I suggested that I purchase the Shure PSM200, or the Sennheiser EW 300 IEM G3....You get what you pay for....On my way to Guitar Center as soon as I finish typing....

Comments about Galaxy Audio AS-1100 UHF Wireless Personal Monitor:
This unit had a horrible static or fuzz sound every time a note is hit to a point that makes it unusable. Moved it around to see if it was due to interference which didn't make a difference, plugged into the headphone out and did not hear the static so it must have been the receiver. Emailed Galaxy Audio tech support a week prior to writing this review and still have not received a response. I returned it to Musician's friend and they took it back with no problem. Ended up biting the bullet and spending a couple of hundred more on the Shure PSM 200 and WOW! What a difference.

Sound quality is fantastic... everything mixed through the ear monitors comes through very clearly. No interference or cut out. It just works!
Comments about Galaxy Audio AS-1100 UHF Wireless Personal Monitor:
Great system. Loss of a half a star for looks and for having to use the power button to turn it on every time. (If the box loses power (eg when you turn you system off), it won't turn itself back on when you power your system back up. You have to press the power button to turn it on again. Not a huge problem, just an extra button to remember to hit each week.)
The ear buds that it comes with have good response to the sounds you send them and the system will transmit in stereo or mono depending on which you want to use. It also comes with a detachable antenna so you can mount your antenna elsewhere if you so desire.The recievers look cheap but don't let that fool you. I made it all the way back to the nursury at our church and still got good signal strength. Most of our wireless handhelds only make it half that far. The sound was also perfectly clear in the sanctuary. If you made it far enough away from the transmitter to lose signal (which is a long way), you got some drop out, but since it uses a pilot signal you never got any static in your ear it would just drop to silence and the light would turn off to let you know it lost signal.We considered a few other systems before purchasing this one, but they were all either too expensive or had bad sound quality.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

There were big scissors. There was a large ribbon. And when the ceremonial cuts were finally made, the USO fulfilled one of the most ambitious goals in its 72-year history.
The USO held the grand opening for its first Warrior and Family Center on Feb. 5. The 20,000-plus-square-foot building on Fort Belvoir, Va., is the largest USO center ever built and also the first of its kind: a place designed for wounded, ill and injured troops, their family members and caregivers. Inside the center, troops recovering from war wounds and injuries have access to state-of-the-art spaces to relax, have fun and learn away from the hospital.
"We told [the architects] that we wanted this building to be designed to the 'audible gasp standard' because that's the reaction that we wanted to elicit from troops and families the first time they set foot inside this center," USO President Sloan Gibson said. "I hope as you have the opportunity to tour the center today, you agree that we have met that standard."
Like all USO services, the building wouldn't have been possible without significant donations. Nearly 250,000 Americans have given to Operation Enduring Care, the USO's campaign to raise funds for two Warrior and Family Centers – including one that will be built at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. – and USO Warrior and Family Care programs that help troops heal and advance their career goals.
When troops are missing home the most, that's when they need us the most.
And that's why the USO once again brought a touch of home to deployed troops with the Chairman's Holiday Tour. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, embarked in mid-December on a seven-day, four-country USO tour designed to deliver a much-needed break to those deployed or stationed overseas. He brought with him USO tour veteran and country music star Kellie Pickler and comedian Iliza Schlesinger, as well as Washington Nationals pitchers Ross Detweiler and Craig Stammen and Washington Capitals forward Matt Hendricks. The tour blended performances with hospital visits and meet-and-greets, bringing smiles at each stop.
"All of the stars with me ... have been nothing short of delightful," Dempsey said. "It is clear they genuinely care and support our nation's troops, and that our men and women in uniform are grateful for their visit."
Before coming to the USO, Tomoko McManus lent her skills to some of Japan's largest, most influential companies, including Nissan, Sony and Fukuda Denshi.
She called on her English language profi ciency as she worked with engineers to translate technical documents and manuals. In 2009, McManus learned about the USO during an area orientation at Yokosuka Naval Base. She also learned that USO Japan was looking for an administrative assistant.
At home, she told her husband, a retired U.S. serviceman, about the vacancy.
"He told me that the USO is a great organization," she said. "It made me think this is an organization I could be a part of."
Since then McManus, a native of Tateyama in Chiba prefecture, has been an invaluable member of the USO Japan staff. On a daily basis, she fields emails and phone calls and works on reports. She manages the area director's schedule, arranging travel and meetings.
And she's still putting her dual language skills to use. She serves as translator when the area director meets with host-nation companies, Japanese government officials or members of the Japan Self-Defense Forces.
During bazaars, McManus is a liaison to international vendors. And she is intimately involved in planning and executing the annual Service Salute.
"Working with the USO as a volunteer or a sta member is a lot of work but it truly is rewarding," she said. "When you get a thank you and a smile from a service member that has been deployed or away from home, it makes all of the hard work worth it.
Jeep, through its Operation SAFE Return, has committed $1.3 million in cash and vehicle donations to the USO's Operation Enduring Care campaign.
Along with the donation, Jeep and the USO packed the new Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir for a day of service Feb. 6, punctuated by a dinner prepared by celebrity chef John Besh.
From now through May 27, Jeep will donate $1 to the USO for every tweet featuring the #joinOSR hashtag.
The inherent risk faced by America's troops means their families are no strangers to tragedy. And just as the USO is there during the good times, the organization also makes sure it's there when families lose a loved one.
The USO partners with TAPS – the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors – to host Survivor Seminars and Good Grief Camps that help military family members cope with a death and the overwhelming emotions that come with it.
USO Fort Hood and TAPS hosted nearly 500 attendees and volunteers at the USO/TAPS Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp last year at the Spirit of Fort Hood Warrior and Family Chapel Campus.
"It's just about being a very good listener and being able to give a hug to people when they need it," USO Fort Hood Director Robin Crouse said.
The Survivor Seminars provide an opportunity for spouses and parents to fi nd positive ways to deal with their grief. Children participate in Good Grief Camps at the same locations.
"[These camps are] one of the most meaningful things I've done at my career at the USO," she said.
People know about the USO's free snacks. They know about the free Internet and comfy chairs during layovers, too. And at this point, they may have heard about our programs. But they probably don't know we get calls like this: Get ready – the escaped hostages are on their way.
USO Europe rose to the occasion in the early hours of Jan. 19, when eight evacuees who'd survived the gas plant hostage situation in Amenas, Algeria, touched down in a C-17 Globemaster III at Ramstein Air Base, Germany.
Four USO staffers met the evacuees – only two of which were American – and passed out everything from drinks and snacks to toiletries and clothing. USO Europe also provided free Internet and phone connectivity – thanks to generous donations from TKS – and international phone cards the evacuees could use from their hotel rooms.
"It was the USO at its best – quiet excellence, unselfish service to others, a helping hand and a welcoming voice," Army Gen. Carter Ham, commander of U.S. Africa Command, wrote in a letter to USO President Sloan Gibson.

A day when Hell was frozen
One reservation I had regarding the discussion is being cut off when I get into the science and the details. I had the feeling of taking part in a football match where the referee and all the spectators were blind and then tried to convince them that I scored a goal. The problem is that people without scientific training often find it hard to judge who's right and who's wrong. It seems that communication skills are more important for convincing the general public that scientific skills. Scientists are usually not renowned for their ability to explain complicated and technical matters, but rather tend to shy off.
I'd suggest that journalists should try to attend the annual conferences such as the European (EMS) and American (AMS) meteorological societies. For learning what's happening within the research, mingling with scientists/meteorologists, and because these conferences have lot to offer media (e.g. media sessions). Just as journalists go to the Olympics, would it not be natural for journalists to attend these conferences? – but I missed the opportunity to make this suggestion.
Hell seems to be fairly dead on a Sunday afternoon. I almost caught a cold from the freezing wait for the train – although the temperature was barely -3C. This January ranked as the third warmest in Oslo, and I have started to acclimatise myself to all these mild winters (the mountain regions, however, have received an unusually large amount of snow). Our minister of finance was due to attend the meeting to talk about getting grief, but she didn't make it to Hell due to a snow storm and chaos at the air port (heavy amount of wet snow due to mild winter conditions).

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
After a three hour trip to Delta, the Dinos came out to play a little travel weary on the Lady Rabbits home court.
Then after a slow start, they warmed up to beat their hosts in three straight. That puts the Carbon team with a 2-0 record in Region 8 play.
In the match they outscored Delta 25-23, 25-18, and 25-16.
Coach Bean was a bit nervous as his girls had trouble getting anything going in the first game of the match.
But after falling behind, the squad began to get it together and came back to win the first game by a close score.
That defeat took the wind out of the Lady Rabbits and Carbon just got stronger and stronger as the match progressed. The next two games were not the battle the first one was and Carbon went on to a three game sweep.
"The team was not as sharp as I'd like them to be," Bean noted. However he was pleased with the way they battled back and found their momentum. He also felt like it was a good solid team effort.
"Nobody stood out with any flashy play," was his assessment of the effort.
The squad's passing was not as sharp as it had been in the previous game, but the team got the job done.
During the match setter Julia Potts went down with an ankle sprain and her ability to play on Tuesday is in doubt. The team will know more on Monday about her condition. A key player on the team, a lasting injury to Potts could have a telling effect on the squad.
The Lady Dinos have two home meets scheduled this week.
Today (Tuesday) they take on North Sanpete. Since it is also homecoming week, the team will take on Emery on their home floor as well. That game was scheduled to be played in Emery, but was changed.
Game time for the varsity match-ups starts at 6:30 in the Carbon High gym.

NYIT and its College of Osteopathic Medicine have initiated a collaborative research program, Advanced Research Core (ARC), to provide laboratory positions for exceptional NYIT undergraduate students. Through ARC, NYIT undergraduate students will join an on-going research project under the mentorship of a College of Osteopathic Medicine faculty member and will contribute to the college's research community.
Students will be expected to demonstrate a high level of commitment and dedication to the research projects through both technical and intellectual input. It is anticipated that many of these research projects will lead to publications in peer-reviewed research journals and presentations at SOURCE and national conferences. Students will take required safety and training courses, depending on laboratory projects assigned.
To participate in this program, students must meet defined academic requirements.
Students must demonstrate commitment to a research project, including setting defined amounts of hours/week (at least 8 hours/week) that will be devoted to the research project. Students should meet the standards set by both the program as well as their College of Osteopathic Medicine faculty mentor. Quarterly Reports must be submitted to the faculty member and Program Directors.
As a research institute, we aim to provide research opportunities to our students. While the faculty serves as the backbone of our university, our students bring enthusiasm and novel perspective to our programs. Through ARC, students and faculty can work together to further advance recognition of NYIT within the biomedical research community.
Each semester, ARC will invite a distinguished speaker to NYIT to present to a campus-wide audience. Faculty and students will together recruit speakers, organize the event, and participate in an exclusive meeting with the speaker for a small-group discussion.

Surfers warm to Firefox
Microsoft's dominant Internet Explorer is gradually losing ground to open-source newcomer Firefox.
Usage (percent)Browser| Dec. 3|Jan. 14|Feb. 18
Firefox_| 4.1____5.0_____5.7
* Excluding Firefox
** Including Safari (boosted figure for January after security update) and Opera
Source: WebSideStory
__________________________________________________ _____________
Microsoft and Mozilla were not immediately available for comment.
WebSideStory, based in San Diego, said that while Firefox continues to penetrate the market at a rapid clip, its growth rate has slowed in recent weeks.
Firefox has seen its U.S. growth rate for actual usage fall by nearly half since its debut, according to the measurement firm.
The browser's market share, which has increased rapidly overall, has begun to grow at a slower pace in the past month. During the five-week period leading up to Feb. 18, Firefox had a 15 percent growth rate, compared with a 34 percent increase within the same time frame after its debut, according to the study.
"This is probably to be expected as we move beyond the early-adopter segment," Jeff Lunsford, WebSideStory's chief executive, said in a statement.
The statistics are based on the number of users who have not only downloaded the browser but who have installed it and are using it to view the Web sites that WebSideStory tracks.
WebSideStory released its data for the United States only. But the company also tracks browser activity in nations around the world, where the market share battle varies significantly.
In China, for example, Firefox accounts for about 1.1 percent of active use, compared with 98.5 percent for IE. Mozilla's share in Japan and South Korea isn't much better.
But in Germany, Firefox ferried 18.8 percent of traffic to Web sites, compared with 73 percent for IE. WebSideStory's numbers indicate that the open-source browser does better, on the whole, in Europe than it does in the United States or Asia.
"It really varies widely from country to country," said Geoff Johnston, an analyst with WebSideStory. "Asia has always loved Microsoft's products, while some European countries have been just the opposite, and the U.S. has always has been kind of in the middle. It has something to do with cultural preferences."
Since its debut, Firefox has grabbed nearly 5.7 percent of the U.S. market share for browsers. Microsoft's IE, meanwhile, has seen its market share fall three percentage points in that time.
"In December, it seemed Firefox was a lock to reach 10 percent (market share) by mid-2005, ahead of the reported year-end goal of the Mozilla Foundation," Lunsford said. "Given the latest growth rates, the year-end target still appears attainable, but a midyear achievement is unlikely."
WebSideStory said Firefox's slower growth was par for the course.
"Firefox had a huge spike and now the pace has tapered off, but that isn't shocking to anyone," said WebSideStory's Johnston. "Whenever a product is released you're going to see that kind of spike. If you're them, you're really thrilled that the growth is still double-digit."
WebSideStory said its findings, over time, were revealing a significant pattern of movement toward Firefox.
"The news in June was that Microsoft had never moved backwards and now it had," Johnston said. "In September, the news was that the pace of attrition was not slowing, which was shocking. It wasn't a blip. That three-to-four month trend has extended to eight and 10 months. So now we have a full-fledged phenomenon and people are taking Firefox seriously."
The interest in Firefox has been substantial. The Mozilla Foundation, for example, raised more than $250,000 in the first 10 days of a fund-raising campaign, which it used to place full-page ads in The New York Times to herald the debut of Firefox 1.0.
OneStat.com said that since November, IE's worldwide usage has fallen 1.62 percentage points to 87.3 percent market share. Firefox, meanwhile, increased by one percentage point to an 8.5 percent global market share.
"It seems that global usage share of Mozilla's Firefox is still increasing and the total global usage share of Microsoft's Internet Explorer is still decreasing," Niels Brinkman, OneStat co-founder, said in a statement.

The goal of city officials tonight is to vote on a contract with the Thousand Islands Privateers to move the team to the Watertown Municipal Arena at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds next season.
Officials worked all week last week on the final details of the franchise agreement with the Federal Hockey League team to prepare for a vote during tonights City Council meeting, which will start at 6:30.
I expect it to be and hope it will, Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham said.
The city attorneys office still had to review the document. Team owner Nicole E. Kirnans attorney reviewed the draft agreement and wanted some language changed, the mayor said.
On Thursday, Ms. Kirnan met with the councils remaining holdouts, Councilman Joseph M. Butler Jr. and Councilwoman Teresa R. Macaluso, to answer some unresolved questions.
It went pretty well, Mr. Butler said. He said that he remained undecided and planned to do more research over the weekend.
The contract will take four votes to pass.
Ms. Kirnan could not be reached for comment Friday.
Council members had discussed the tentative agreement last Monday night:
n The team would have use of a locker room, although the players would have to remove their equipment after each game to let high school teams use those facilities. Locker rooms were a sticking point in the talks. Additional locker rooms would be provided to opposing teams and officials.
n The team would pay $70 per hour for practices and $100 per hour for games. The Privateers would play 26 to 30 home games, seven to nine of them on Friday or Saturday nights. The season would run from mid-October to March. The team also would pay $1,475 for the season for office space at the fairgrounds.
n The team would receive all beer concessions, but a licensed caterer must obtain an alcohol license from the state Liquor Authority.
n The city would receive all food concessions, which could generate about $4 per person, Ms. Kirnan said. The team hopes to attract 1,000 fans per game.
n The Privateers would be able to sell advertising on temporary signs around the arena.
For the past two seasons, the Privateers played their home games at Bonnie Castle Recreation Center in Alexandria.
In other business, council members plan to tour City Center Plaza, off Arsenal Street near Interstate 81.
Owner Patrick M. Donegan hopes to persuade the city to build a road through nearby Stateway Plaza to let him lure a national retailer to construct a big-box store at his development.

This is is my twist on traditional Mexican Wedding Cookies. Instead of using pecans, I use hazelnuts from the Piedmont region of Italy, where my family is from. These nuts are smaller and have a more intense, robust flavor than those grown in Turkey or Oregon. These delicate little cookies are easy to make and can be baked up to 5 days in advance.
Bake the Cookies
Preheat the oven to 325F. Line the bottoms of two 12-by-18 inch sheet pans parchment paper.
Put the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Beat in the egg yolk and salt.
Switch the mixer to low speed and add the flour 1/4 cup at a time, pulsing the mixer to incorporate each addition before adding the next one. The dough will look dry.
Stir in the hazelnuts just until incorporated.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough into walnut-sized balls and place on the prepared pans.
Bake on the middle shelf of the oven, rotating the pans 180 degrees halfway through the baking time, until the tops are golden brown, about 15-17 minutes.
Let cool completely on the pans in wire racks.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Just before serving, sift a dusting of powdered sugar on the tops of the cookies. Transfer to a serving plate or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup granulated cane sugar
1 extra-large egg yolk, room temperature
Pinch kosher salt
2/3 cup hazelnuts, toasted and finely chopped, preferably Piedmont
1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup powdered cane sugar

Post as much as you can on the booting process and exactly what you are trying to do. The more info the better
Hey folks, its me again. I have a more complicated problem then usual this time. Im trying to write a script for Caldera OpenUnix 8.0 that runs once, reboots the system, and calls another script that runs before the system reaches the user login stage. I was able to do this in linux by editing my /etc/rc5.d directory and putting a symbolic link to a script that i put in /etc/init.d (or was it the other way around?... you know what i mean). When the system rebooted it ran the script and then rebooted again. I need to do the same thing for unix... but i cant figure out how. There is no /etc/fstab and the /etc/init.d does not look similar to linux at all. Anyone have any suggestions? If you need more information just tell me what you need to know and ill gladly post it. Thanks for any help you can provide!!
--Morphman, constantly baffled newbie scripter
Post as much as you can on the booting process and exactly what you are trying to do. The more info the better
Well, i want to run a script that will reboot the system when it is finished and after the system reboots (but before login) i want to run another script. I want both scripts to be ran only once though. So i think ill have the first script automagically copy the 2nd script into the /etc/init.d directory and make a symbolic link to it in the /etc/rc2.d directory and ill make it like "S94script2" or something like that. Does that sound like it would work and if not... why not? Im going to try it in just *a couple minutes.
PS: Oh! Another question--how do i output text to the teminal before login? Ive tried echoing text and ive tried redirecting it to standard error output but neither of those seem to reach the terminal prior to login in the boot sequence. I know that my scripts are getting run because if i do a "read blank" command the curser does stop and wait for the user to hit enter before proceeding any further in the boot process. Any ideas? Thanks!
If it is a sSysV relase type boot it sounds like it would work. You could just as easily create /etc/rcscript that has 0 if it needs to run the 1st script and 2 if it needs to run the 2nd script (and the scripts modify the file after they run to set it to what it needs to be).
IE: BOOT->First Script->sets rcscript to 1->REBOOT->2nd Script->sets rcscript to 0->Text->Login Prompt
The scripts can be in sysv style and check the file to see if they run.
/etc/issue and /etc/issue.net (for net login) are usually good places if your Unix flavor has it. It outputs info before login.
Im not sure i follow you on that one... Create an /etc/rcscript? Will that get ran on startup if i use the same naming convention as the other rcx.d directories? Im sorry, im still a newbie here *??? *Thanks for any additional help you can provide!!
PS: i only knew about that rc.d stuff because of a LOT of trial and error and experimenting... i dont really know how it works all too well. Ive never had a teacher or a class on unix/linux or anything and im trying to learn it as fast as i can so i can make these scripts for the team. *

Those of you who know me know I live on the West Coast which means for me game 5 starts at 9:00 AM on a Sunday morning. I have had such a bad feeling about this game that I have decided that I am going DVR it and sleep through the game.
I am so frustrated by this team because no matter how hard you want to root for them then kick you in the shins when they give you efforts like they did on Friday evening. Nobody wants to see the Rangers advance more than I do as I consider it a requirement for my birthday to know that the Rangers will be playing beyond May 1st.
But I just can't trust this team as they will show you all the signs of being a solid team who can play and win against any team in the NHL. Then in the next game they will play like they were "the gang that couldn't shoot straight".
Do I really need to tell you guys what the Rangers need to do in order to defeat the Flyers? I am quite sure you know it but man I wonder at times if the Rangers do. So rather than lose sleep over the Rangers I will set my trusty DVR to record the game (and add 3 hours just in case of overtime) then when I wake up I will ignore all my toys until I watch the game so nobody ruins it for.
All I ask of the Rangers is to allow me to wake up with a happy dream and not a horrible nightmare.

Charlie's Angels
Action/Adventure, Comedy
They're beautiful, they're brilliant, and they work for Charlie. In a smart, sexy update of the 70's TV show, "Charlie's Angels" revolves around three female detectives - Natalie the bookworm, Dylan the tough girl, and Alex the class act - as intelligent and multi-talented as they are ravishingly gorgeous and utterly disarming. What can be done when Eric Knox, a soon-to-be billionaire, is kidnapped from his own office at Knox Technologies, and the company is in jeopardy of losing a million dollars? Under the sure hand of their suave playboy boss, notorious for his clever ways of avoiding face-to-face meetings with his employees, the Angels use their feminine charm, high-tech gadgets and hand-to-hand combat to save themselves, Charlie, and thousands of innocent people.

Buffalo, NY -- Here is an update on how the summer has been with rainfall and temperatures now that August is almost over.
I used raw temperature and rain data for the meteorological summer months of June, July, and August in Buffalo to calculate some stats.
I found about 48% of the days this summer so far have been below average with temperatures. Also 48% of the days have had rain.
When you break down the months, July was the warmest and August is still the coolest (so far). June was the wettest.
63% of the days in August so far have had temperatures below average. 29% of the days have had rain.
32% of the days in July had temperatures below average. 55% of the days have had rain.
53% of the days in June had temperatures below average. 57% of the days have had rain.
So overall just less than half the summer we have had below average temperatures and rainy days.

The desire of intellectuals for some grand theory that will explain complex patterns with some solitary and simple factor has produced many ideas that do not stand up under scrutiny, but which have nevertheless had widespread acceptance — and sometimes catastrophic consequences — in countries around the world.
The theory of genetic determinism which dominated the early 20th century led to many harmful consequences, ranging from racial segregation and discrimination up to and including the Holocaust. The currently prevailing theory is that malice of one sort or another explains group differences in outcomes. Whether the lethal results of this theory would add up to as many murders as in the Holocaust is a question whose answer would require a detailed study of the history of lethal outbursts against groups hated for their success.
These would include murderous mob violence against the Jews in Europe, the Chinese in Southeast Asia, the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, and the Ibos in Nigeria, among others. Class-based mass slaughters of the successful would range from Stalin's extermination of the kulaks in the Soviet Union to Pol Pot's wiping out of at least a quarter of the population of Cambodia for the crime of being educated middle class people, as evidenced by even such tenuous signs as wearing glasses.
Minorities who have been more successful than the general population have been the least likely to have gotten ahead by discriminating against politically dominant majorities. Yet it is precisely such minorities who have attracted the most mass violence over the centuries and in countries around the world.
All the blacks lynched in the entire history of the United States would not add up to as many murders as those committed in one year by mobs against the Jews in Europe, the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire or the Chinese in Southeast Asia.

The rise and fall of the labradoodle
June 22, 2015
How a trademark would have made all the difference
Leyendecker & Lemire speaks to trademark issues often – with clients and within this column. In the world of intellectual property, this might seem strange. After all, patents are usually the ones in the spotlight, soaking up all of the adoration and discussion in intellectual circles. Even some intellectual property attorneys will give short shrift to trademarks and almost treat them as an afterthought – an add-on to the patent, if you will.
However, there's good reason we spend so much time talking about trademarks: They are universal. Most businesses have them, and oftentimes they account for the vast majority of business value represented by a company's intangible assets. Trademarks are eternal, whereas patents and copyrights have a fixed term that will eventually expire. At the end of the day, once your technology is not necessarily the newest thing, your trademark is what will differentiate your company. Additionally, trademarks can be used to great effect and commercial gain in situations where other forms of intellectual property are not available.
I recently came across an article in Psychology Today that shows not only the power of branding, but also the risks that are associated with not adequately protecting and policing your mark. The seemingly unlikely focus of this analysis is, well, a dog; specifically, a pseudo-breed that everyone knows – the labradoodle. The focus of the article is actually on the regret of Wally Conron, the creator of the labradoodle, in introducing these dogs to the world.
Labradoodles, despite what a lot of people think, are not actually a breed of dog. They are a crossbreed, or what is more commonly referred to as a mutt. So if the labradoodle is really just a mutt, then how has it earned such high stature in society, where people are willing to shell out thousands of dollars for one? One word: branding.

Footnote (Hearat Shulayim)
Eliezer, is a stubborn purist who fears the establishment and has never been recognized for his work. Meanwhile his son, Uriel, is an up-and-coming star in the field, who appears to feed on accolades, endlessly seeking recognition. Then one day, the tables turn. When Eliezer learns that he is to be awarded the Israel Prize, the most valuable honor for scholarship in the country, his vanity and desperate need for validation are exposed. His son, Uriel, is thrilled to see his father's achievements finally recognized but, in a darkly funny twist, is forced to choose between the advancement of his own career and his father's. Will he sabotage his father's glory?

Reporter: Craig Smith
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Before voters approved medical marijuana, law enforcement warned medical marijuana sites would attract crime.
Now it may be the motive in a home invasion Sunday night.
Under state law having and growing marijuana is legal for certain patients and caregivers. But it's a valuable commodity in the illegal world.
Now critics of medical marijuana see an incident Sunday night as example of legal marijuana pulling people in contact with the illegal world of dangerous criminals.
Before Arizona voters approved medical marijuana, law enforcement warned medical marijuana facilities would attract crime. Pima County Attorney Barbara LaWall was one of them.
"It was a big concern and clearly it was a valid one."
It's not 100 percent clear if the bandits who invaded the house knew medical marijuana was grown there with a valid license from the state health department.
But when they busted into the home in a quiet Tanque Verde neighborhood, they came away with marijuana, cash and a cell phone that deputies traced to find two of the three suspects.
Barbara LaWall says, "This has happened throughout the country wherever marijuana has become medicalized there have been all kinds of thefts, robberies, strong arm robberies, armed robberies, home invasions, etc."
Kimberly Haslett of the Southwest Arizona Patient Alliance does not see a criminal trend here: "We have 1300 caregivers in the state right now and this is the first reported home invasion so I don't think they are a magnet for crime."
Haslett questions whether the home invaders knew they were busting into a house where marijuana was grown under license.
She says caregivers licensed to grow usually keep a low profile and don't advertise what they have.
KGUN9 reporter Craig Smith asked her: "What I'm wondering is if there's something about how the caregivers become known that would allow someone seeking marijuana for illegal purposes to find them?"
Haslett: I don't see a correlation in that at all because the only people that know who the caregiver is should be the patient and the Arizona Department of Health Services."
The state health department does publish figures showing how many caregivers are licensed to grow medical marijuana. The latest figures show 72 for Pima County and the highest concentration--12---is in the Tanque Verde area where the home invasion happened.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stock-market futures moved sharply higher Wednesday, as the first trading day of the year kicked off with welcome news of Washington lawmakers' last-minute move to avert the fiscal cliff.
"We are happy to be halfway home to fixing the fiscal cliff; we figured out the revenue side and delayed the spending side," said Art Hogan, managing director, head of product strategy at Lazard Capital Markets.
Data on tap for Wednesday include a nationwide survey of manufacturers and the latest figures on construction spending.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average US:DJH3 jumped 215 points, or 1.6%, to 13,241. Those for the Standard & Poor's 500 index US:SPH3 rose 26.70, or 1.9%, to 1,446.80.
Futures for the Nasdaq-100 index US:NDH3 rose 59 points, or 2.2%, to 2,714.25.
Wall Street was expected to rally on the heels of similar activity overseas, with Europe and Asia stocks sharply higher after the House of Representatives voted late Tuesday to pass a bipartisan deal that averts the fiscal cliff of austerity measures. President Barack Obama says he'll sign the bill into law. Read: Fiscal-cliff deal passes Congress
The market reaction is expected to be upbeat, at least initially. "At the start of trading we'll see a positive reaction…but as we progress toward the latter parts of the week, the excitement will evaporate, because the buildup doesn't include raising the debt ceiling or longer-term budget cuts," said Fawad Razaqzada, technical strategist at GFT Markets. The Tell: Strategists expect Wall Street to rally after budget deal, but say it won't last
Markets welcome fiscal-cliff deal
The Senate and the House of Representatives both approve a bipartisan deal to block most impending tax increases and postpone spending cuts. What the deal means for the U.S. deficit.
"The focus will quickly shift toward the end of February when the U.S. is expected to hit its debt ceiling," said Razaqzada, noting that for the short term, the closely watched U.S. nonfarm-payrolls report for December looms large on Friday.
"It's difficult to be sure of the market's reaction because a lot of traders are away at the moment and volumes are light, so any moves are likely to be exaggerated slightly," he said. Mark Hulbert: How special is January?
'A few days of gains'
Atif Latif, director of trading, equities and derivatives at Guardian Stockbrokers, said he expects an "aggressive move up" for stocks. That will be driven by a combination of fresh money being invested and a trigger of stops on positions that took a bearish view into the holiday trade, he said.
"We are anticipating a few days of gains until the euphoria settles down and would at the latter part of the week as an opportune time to look to start moving to defensive positions into a correction before the next phase up," he said in emailed comments.
At 10 a.m. Eastern, the Institute for Supply Management survey will be released. The index is forecast to rise to 50.3% from 49.5% in November, according to economists surveyed by MarketWatch. Read more in Economic Preview

OGDENSBURG The cleanup of a former manufactured gas plant site on a three-quarter-acre property owned by National Grid at 10 King St. will be finished in October.
National Grid in May began a voluntary cleanup supervised by the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
Our project manager out of the Albany office says that the contaminated soil removal is more than 75 percent complete and the contractor says they are on target to be completed by Sept. 30, said Stephen W. Litwhiler, DEC Region 6 citizen participation specialist.
Mr. Litwhiler said Thursday that 12,015 tons of soil and 335,000 gallons of treated water have been removed from the site.
National Grid spokeswoman Virginia J. Limmiatis said Thursday the cleanup is running ahead of schedule.
Weve made tremendous progress at the site, she said.
But there is more work to do after Sept. 30.
Once this digging out of the contaminated soil is complete, the next phase is what we call site management, Mr. Litwhiler said Thursday. A site management plan will be developed by National Grid. That addresses any remaining contamination and ensures that monitoring the effectiveness of the cleanup continues. National Grid also will be required to submit a final engineering report which will document all the remedial activities at the site. Both the site management plan and the final engineering report will have to be reviewed and approved by the DEC.
National Grid is the site owner and, according to Mr. Litwhiler, the site management plan will require the utility to provide annual certification to DEC that the site cleanup remains effective.
According to DEC, under Ogdensburg Gas Co. from 1855 until 1923, St. Lawrence County Utilities Inc. until 1937 and Central New York Power Corp. until the 1940s, the plant heated coal and produced a manufactured gas used for lighting, heating and cooking by Ogdensburg homes and businesses. Propane gas was stored in above-ground tanks on the current site of St. Lawrence Gas Co. property from 1945 until 1997. The site was transferred to Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. in 1950 as part of its incorporation from smaller companies, including the Central New York Power Corp.
In 2002, Niagara Mohawk agreed to a voluntary cleanup plan with DEC. National Grid acquired Niagara Mohawk in 2002 and assumed responsibility for the investigation.
Miss Limmiatis said the property will be landscaped when the work is done.

Kemilau Sulawesi Exhibition VIII 2013
Kemilau Sulawesi Exhibition VIII 2013
25 Jul 2013 - 28 Jul 2013
From 25th to 28th July 2013, the sparkling beauty of Sulawesi - one of the 5 main islands of Indonesia, will be revealed in the capital of North Sulawesi, Manado, at the Kemilau Sulawesi Exhibition VIII. Kemilau itself literally means "Sparks"; a perfect word to express the enchanting beauty that lies within all the provinces of Sulawesi.
Fully supported by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, the event will feature various tourism products including natural destinations, cultural attractions, historical sites, culinary delights, and many more. All 6 provinces on Sulawesi , namely North Sulawesi, Gorontalo, Central Sulawesi, South East Sulawesi, West Sulawesi, and South Sulawesi will definitely take part to exhibit their finest tourism features.
There will also be a traditional songs competition, Little Miss Pageant, traditional cuisines cooking competition, and many other stimulating programs.
Formerly known as Celebes, Sulawesi with its bizarre shape of four spindly arms spinning outward is easily recognizable. But bizarre is beautiful and in its contortions are its character, with an incredible diversity of people, cultures and landscapes spread across its length and breadth.
From the mystical culture of Tana Toraja and the seafaring prowess of Makassar in the south, to the underwater paradise of Wakatobi in the south east, the natural beauty of Lore Lindu National Park and Togean Island in Central Sulawesi, Manado, Gorontalo, Bunaken, and all the splendors of Northern Sulawesi, Sulawesi is truly an island filled with amazing pristine wonders.
