The Supreme Antioxidant
Antioxidant protection of the whole coffee fruit
Less caffeine than a cup of tea
Rich in Polyphenols and Essential Sugars
CoffeeBerry is abundant in polyphenols that:
Help preserve natural antioxidants in the body
Protect cell membranes and human plasma against damaging oxidation
Neutralize toxic free radicals
Help maintain healthy blood glucose levels already in normal range
CoffeeBerry contains five of eight rare and essential sugars called monosaccharides. Research indicates these glyconutrients are essential for the various complex biological systems to interact and function properly to prevent free-radical damage and to initiate cellular repair.
Polysaccharides' such as mannans and arabinogalactans' make up almost half the dry weight of CoffeeBerry. Conventional roasting destroys these nutrients' so they're not found in traditional brewed coffee.
Thanks to the patent-pending technology exclusively licensed to New Chapter by VDF FutureCeuticals' the extraordinary health benefits of fresh' ripe coffee fruit are available for the first time.
And for those of you who don't like the jolt of coffee' the great news is that New Chapter's CoffeeBerry Whole Coffee Fruit Concentrate contains less than 1% caffeine' which means that a daily serving contains no more caffeine than one-tenth of a cup of tea.
Beyond the Bean: The Whole Coffee Fruit
Like many fruits' the coffee fruit is designed to nourish and protect its seed. The coffee bean is not the whole coffee fruit' no more than a peach pit is the peach. People who live in the coffee-growing regions of the tropics know this' and have traditionally benefited from the powerful antioxidants in the whole coffee fruit. The rest of us' until now' have had to make do with just drinking the roasted coffee seeds. It's time to experience the complete antioxidant richness of this miraculous fruit! To appreciate the unique antioxidant power of CoffeeBerry Whole Fruit Concentrate' with an ORAC value of 2500' we've compared it to other respected antioxidant fruits:
ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. Free radicals of oxygen can damage our cells and disrupt normal DNA activity. Foods with high ORAC values can absorb and neutralize those damaging free radicals and thus provide critical protection against that damage.

High antioxidant value
I cant really tell any difference in my body or mind while taking this. I have finished the bottle and just hope it is helping my body get back on track. I have a lot of inflammation in my body (from years of self abuse smoking alcohol sugar) and I know antioxidants help. I also took a couple of capsules apart and dissolved them in a bit of water and then put it into my face/body cream. It made a beautiful color and now I have an expensive lotion that wasnt expensive. It did help with hyperpigmentation spots it made the dark spots lighter but it hasnt helped my melasma any! I will repurchase this and hope it is resolving the issues of my body being back on track. This is high on the scale of ORAC value so you only need one supplement and I use this one.
Good quality product no fillers which is important to me. High in ORAC value.
Expensive for a 30 day supply.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Saturday, December 3, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
LEESBURG, Ga. — Hundreds of people lined up in front of the Lee County Governmental Center and crowded both sides of Starksville Avenue as Lee County's 23rd Annual Spirit of Christmas Parade began Saturday.
More than 100 participants and 20 floats participated in the parade, which lasted nearly an hour and a half.
Many in the crowd were there to see rising country star and parade grand marshal Luke Bryan.
Lee County Chamber of Commerce President Winston Oxford was delighted with the way the morning went.
"The day far, far exceeded my expectations," Oxford said. "This is my eighth Christmas parade here and today blew all of the others off of the charts. The crowd started building at around 8:30 this morning as we were lining up the floats.
"It was an exciting morning and we couldn't be more pleased."
The morning, to borrow a cliché, was a classic "Chamber Day" with children making up a large part of the crowd.
Jeff Toole and his wife, Debbie, and boys Graham, 6, and Henry, 4, waited patiently for the parade to begin.
"Basically we came out to do something together as a family activity," Jeff Toole said. "We wanted to get here a little early so the kids could be close to the parade and help us get into the holiday spirit. We wanted to set the mood for the holidays."
Bryan's mother, Leclair, was accompanied by a phalanx of relatives and eagerly awaited her son, who was riding at the end of the parade, just before Santa.
"He's busting wide open and is excited as he can be to be in Leesburg," Leclair Bryan said of Luke. "It's amazing that so many people are here for the parade and to see him."
Other parade watchers had different reasons for attending.
"My daughter is in the Lee County band color guard," Catherine Ponson of Leesburg said. "We been putting up Christmas decorations, and we set up or tree last night, so this helps with the spirit."
Ponson's daughter, Elizabeth, a student at Lee County High, had been at the site since 6:30 Saturday morning helping with preparations.
"Having Luke Bryan as grand marshal is a big deal. We had Buster Posey last year," Elizabeth said. "I always have a good time here. I like watching the little kids chase each other around for the candy."
Sisters Ti and Arlie Potts, also students at Lee County, came for different reasons.
"I came for the candy," Arlie said. Then Ti quickly countered, "don't believe her, she's really here to see Luke Bryan."
Lindsey Littleton, who was with the sisters, laughed and said, "This is fun, plus I didn't have anything better to do."
At the end of the parade awards were handed out to best floats.
In the commercial division, Lee County Medical arts was the winner; Mack Odom Asphalt was second and Pressley Electric Services was third.
In the non-commercial division, Lee County High School FAA was the winner; Lee County PreK was second and the Lee County Sheriff's Office float was third.

Two new calendars AND 15% off in the PGEW General Store!Pin It
Hey, everyone! Before I continue with new recipes and the whopping 2011 recap post this week, I just wanted to let you know of a couple cool things going on in the PGEW General Store.
First of all, there are two brand new 2012 calendars so now you can choose from three fantastic options. In addition to a general calendar of PGEW favorites, there is now a "Sweet Treats" calendar, which showcases some of the most popular PGEW desserts. There's also the "I Heart the Farmer's Market" edition, with bright, eye-catching photos of some of my favorite farmer's market scenes. I know there are just five days left in 2011 but calendars are always needed, so if you still haven't gotten one for the new year, now's your chance.
And because it's the day after Christmas (a.k.a. the other biggest shopping day of the year), I thought I'd pass on some savings myself. From now until December 31st, all clothing and tote bags are 15% off the regular price! If Santa got you some Christmas money and you're not quite sure how to spend it, picking up one of these cute little shirts or conversation-starter Tip Totes would be a great way to do so.
Need help finding the store? Simply click on the "Shop" tab in the top menu bar, or just follow this link.
Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas, and thanks in advance for checking out the PGEW General Store. Happy Shopping! :)

Dr. Jeffery A. Prosser's Ratings
Dr. Prosser is an amazing doctor. He takes the time out to actually get to know you and your medical conditions. The staff is very professional and helpful. Anytime I've ever had any questions or concerns, they've been right there every step of the way to help me through it. I'm very thankful to have found such a wonderful office.

office is dirty (carpeting is stained), dingy lighting. staff seems to be at odds with each other. dr.'s wife appears to run the office and is very inefficient. also, one office worker (the dr.'s daughter?) is very short with patients and seems very uncaring about the patient. I picked this dr. because the office is in tarpon, and chose as my P.C.P.. however, have changed to another doctor who actually cares. very disappointed in my whole experience with this office and could not, I hate to say this, recommend this office to anyone.

This is the most unprofessional medical office I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with! Everyone including the doctor and his rude wife who claims to also be a doctor, are the most unhelpful, inconsiderate group of health care so called professionals. My parents are both high needs, ill elderly people and they never did a thing to make their situation or live easier. Don not use them!

She abruptly cut me off saying they are TOO BUSY TO DEAL WITH THIS. I called back again, spoke to Prosser, assuming he'd want to know his staff are rude and discriminatory toward the handicapped. But he agreed that YES we ARE A VERY BUSY OFFICE, WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR..." BLAH, blah Offices should only ask 2 questions. Your name and when u can come in. When you get there, THEN they give you papers to fill out with all that info, NOT by phone, especially if they are 'TOO BUSY TO BOTHER WITH ALL THAT'.

I was kept waiting hours on end. Dr. Prosser refused to order medications with refills. His office refused to call in refills over the phone. I had to go in to his office to pick up new prescriptions, and often had to see him, and pay an office visit, just to get a refill for my diabetes medication or high blood pressure medication. I take 15 pills daily, so I had to see him sometimes twice a week to get prescriptions. I have no insurance so I had to pay out of pocket over and over for the many visits. When I started seeing another Doctor as my Primary, and just remained with Dr. Prosser for pain management, to "punish" me for taking away hundreds of dollars of business, he made me wait until 2pm to see him, and I had a 10am appointment. His nurse told me he said to make me wait til the end of the day, but she felt badly for me so she wouldn't make me wait any longer. I also had a fungus on my skin, and he incorrectly diagnosed it as vitiligo.

Outside the Office
I eat out for lunch with my coworkers nearly everyday. I see this courtyard everyday as we exit for lunch. Today, I saw a really beautiful sight with the white blossoms on the trees set against the overcast sky. I used my iPhone 5 to take this picture, since I haven't been carrying around my Fujifilm X-Pro1 with me for several months (it's just too much effort to carry around for an hour lunch).
I'm surprised with how well suited the iPhone 5 is as a portable camera. It's relatively fast and takes high quality photos.
Above, you can see the Instagram version of the photo. Below, the original taken on the iPhone 5 (resized to fit).
Some photographers will hate on Instagram and those that use it because of the filters and the hipster thing, but it's all in good fun. What's so bad about that?Read More »

i am practising close up and macro, i just cant get the 'tack sharpness' in an image. As a begginner i have limited equipment so im using a canon 1000dslr, 18-55mm lens with close up filters.i would love to purchase a macro lens but not until i master the technique and save up. i use the live view and connect camera to my laptop for even better viewing, what am i doing wrong? criticism welcome, be gentle though.thank you.

I'm afraid you will be limited with what you can take with a kit lens. The macro lens enables you to get in much closer. When I take macro's I use the view finder and a1 focus setting and spot metering. Also zoom in close will help and using narrow apertue for shallow depth of field. There's no exif data so I couldn't see you settings. If you follow the above and crop the shot you should get some good close ups. Getting the lighting right will also add detail.
Hope this is of help.
Nominating Constructive Critique
As Simon has said, it's always going to be difficult with a kit lens to get decent macro shots. If you can tether the camera then it's much easier to get the depth of field right by playing around with the aperture as you go. If not, maybe a series at varying apertures would let you get it exactly how you want it. I'm not a fan of live view with DOF preview personally, as it's only ever an indication. It's not until you get the pic up on a proper display that you can get right into the details to see how you're doing.
In the example above amending the depth of field so that the central yellow part of the flower (sorry - don't know what it's called!) is in focus, while retaining the out of focus foreground and background, might be quite effective perhaps? Also, it's quite a tight crop. Is there any mileage in coming back slightly to include all of the petals as well? It might isolate the flower quite well.
All that said, it's a lot better than most of the macro stuff I've tried!
Nominating Constructive Critique
This is certainly a pretty shot, with a very fair level of detail, though not, as you say, pin sharp. I have used close up filters with a Canon 18-55 and have got some good results though it was a bit hit and miss and on a different body (in fact, an older one). We just used a reasonably small aperture and autofocus with the focus point over a high contrast edge - we didn't use the strongest magnification in the kit as focusing was tough with this, but with your rig it would be easier, I think. I have also tried them out on my Nikon at home, and, although the results aren't as good as with a dedicated macro lens, the good shots are pretty good. I think issues may arise from the fact that our close up filters don't have any fancy anti reflective coating - I suspect this reduces sharpness due to light bouncing around a bit. Using them indoors and away from direct light sources could be helpful, perhaps. Anyhow, I think the answer is shoot loads and keep the best! By the way, was this raw? If so, did you sharpen it?
Nominating Constructive Critique
Hi Jade, lets first discuss how to take a macro shot, and go from there.
1. Set you camera on Manual focus.
2. Use a tripod.
3. Manually focus on the area you want sharp.
4. Set the camera to APERTURE PRIORITY, not Shutter priority
5. Using the link I will add below, select an aperture. In macro photography, quite small apertures are normally used, however, this is when using a lens designed for macro photography. You should not use lower that f/11.
6. Set the camera to ISO 100
7. Use the self timer, and press the shutter. The exposure time will likely be long, depending on the light. Try to use good bright window light, NOT with Sun streaming in. You do not want Sun.
What is a macro lens?
This is a specially designed lens that allows you to place the lens close to the subject, and be able to focus on the subject. It will get physically MUCH closer than your existing lens. It will have the ability to use very sall apertures, smaller than yours. And the image will be a full sized image, in other words a 1:1 ratio. The Canon 100mm macro is a full macro, while the 60mm lens is a half macro, meaning a real macro lens, but priduces an image with the subject half the size of the 100mm. Other names make good macros, Tamron 90mm and Sigma 105 mm being very good.
What is a close-up attachment?
Its a piece of magnifying glass that is placed in front of the lens. Any additional elements placed in front of the lens degrade quality, and since the kit lens is just acceptable, you are lowering the optical performance of a system thats already borderline.
So you have to get the technique right first. This technique is the same whether you use the kit lens alone, with the close -up, or using a macro lens.
You settings do not show the exif used, but do sow you used Shutter Priority, which you now know is incorrect.
The absolute limit for sharpness is the optical systems ability to resolve fine detail. This means the lens, and if you ever wonder why one lens can cost 3 times a much as a simialr focal length model, its usually because of it ability to deliver very high resolution.
Finally, when you re size your image for uploading to the web, and save the re sized image, open it again before you upload, cnad check it for sharpness. Most images need some additional sharpening after being re sized, as file compression will soften the image.
Ive uploaded a mod, with a little sharpening applied, colour balance corrected, flower centre shadow brightened. Looks like the light in this was not great, - you need to ensure the focal point of your shot has decent light, - and this should be the centre of the flower in this image.
Get practicing this technique,

I didn't notice the shutter priority - Willie's right about that, and the rest! We used autofocus because it was very fiddly getting the focus right with manual focus. With the setup we were using, the zone of focusing, at about f11 which we were using, was very shallow and hard to find and I was working it with youngish kids and we were trying to work to a time limit. That said, autofocus can give you a starting point, then you can switch to manual and refine it - this saves a long hunt!

Restaurant review: Rye rocks in space next to Urban Lounge
A lot of people who visit Salt Lake City for the first time don't know where to get drinks and dinner. Some don't even know if you can drink in Utah's capital city.
So let's give props to the owners of Rye for clearing up the confusion, at least for musicians who visit Salt Lake to play at Urban Lounge.
The owners of Rye Chris Wright, Lance Saunders and Will Sartain also own the adjacent Urban Lounge and thought a diner was a natural extension, not only for their musical acts but for those of us who live in this long-misunderstood city. The trio seized a long-sought opportunity to open an eatery next to Urban when Al Forno, the previous occupant of the space, closed its doors.
Rye doesn't have a large menu, but it's open early for breakfast and lunch (no booze until 11:30 a.m., per state law), then closes for several hours until the dinner hour and remains open until midnight on weekdays and 2 a.m. on weekends.
On show nights at Urban Lounge, the music is piped into Rye, where diners can watch the performance on a suspended TV screen. If the band isn't your cup of rye, that could be a problem, I suppose. But it's helpful if you're trying to time your arrival at Urban for the headliner because you know when the warmup act is done.
On the night Australian singer/songwriter Courtney Barnett played Urban, she and her bandmates were spotted dining at Rye. During the show, Barnett pronounced the mushroom and toast ($7), a concoction of creamy fontina and duxelles, "f-ing awesome." The synergy seems to be working.
Rye's menu consists mostly of small plates and a couple of entrée-size dishes. But under the experienced hand of chef Tommy Nguyen, formerly of Takashi, the food is high-quality and interesting, and not your typical diner fare.
Exhibit A is pork belly lettuce wraps ($11), a small plate of moist, fatty meat encased in butter lettuce, complemented by the contrasting crunch of daikon, carrots and zingy chile pickles. I could truthfully apply Courtney Barnett's phrase to this lovely dish.
Another winner is shoyu fried chicken, subtly flavored with togorashi, a Japanese blend of seven spices, helpfully offered in a half ($15) or quarter bird ($10) and served with a generous side of slightly sweet cabbage slaw. The togorashi lends a smoky flavor and color to the crunchy coating, a delicious counterpart to the tender, juicy meat. A generous side of that cabbage slaw is the perfect platemate.
The same spice is used to flavor one version of the thin, crisp house french fries ($5), which also come plain or flavored with truffle oil. The latter was my favorite, dipped in a robust garlic aioli.
Truffled macaroni and cheese ($8), a luxurious blend of pasta and Gruyère cheese garnished with fried sage leaves that's so rich it's easily shared, is diner food all right, but done for foodies. The flavor combination of the herb and truffle is superb.
It's not the only item that vegetarians will appreciate. There's an excellent kale salad ($8), a good-sized portion of different varieties of kale, perfectly roasted golden beets and marcona almonds dressed in a lively citrus vinaigrette.
A black bean burger ($10) comes with mushrooms, pickled onion and romesco sauce, which is also served with the shishito peppers ($7), one of a couple of dishes that missed the mark.
While the sauce was excellent, the peppers were unevenly roasted, leaving some of them uncomfortably spicy. The other dish that was lacking was street dumplings, filled with shrimp and pork, seasoned with garlic chives and served with a soy vinaigrette. Compared with the flavorful dishes we'd already tried, they came off as ordinary and bland.
Meat lovers should sample the burger ($13), which came cooked to order slightly pink and topped with nicely caramelized onions, roasted jalapeños, Swiss cheese and avocado sauce. It was a flavor mind meld, and possible to eat by hand if cut in half. Your choice of fries is included.
The teres major steak ($15) is a shoulder cut, but tender enough if it's cooked with care, which it is at Rye. Its main selling point is flavor, which didn't disappoint. Again, fries are part of the package.
The breakfast/brunch menu features a variety of "soft egg scrambles," with a variety of fillings. The bacon, spinach and Gruyère ($9) version was appropriately rich; the spinach, tomato and feta ($9) scramble was lighter, with that unmistakable goat cheese tang. All the plates come with rather mediocre diced house potatoes that didn't deserve as much space as they got on the plate.
Don't miss the waffle if you like whiskey-infused syrup ($8). It was flavorful without being overpowering. You can add pork belly for $4, a choice I would highly recommend. Or try the pork belly in the breakfast bowl ($11), a bed of white rice topped with an egg, flanked by a dollop of tart, house-made kimchi and several slices of that melting meat. I imagine that would go a long way toward curing a hangover.
Something you should know about refills of the tasty Charming Beard coffee, however: They aren't free.
Rye has full bar service and offers a selection of specialty cocktails, including a negroni ($9) and the amusingly titled "death in the afternoon," a concoction of absinthe and sparkling wine with a lemon twist. Oddly, the restaurant had run out of vermouth on one visit; on another, bar service was incredibly slow at dinner. I hope such kinks have worked themselves out by now.
Rye is a small place, with a seating capacity of about 50, but it doesn't feel particularly cozy due to the minimalist décor. The lines are hard and clean; one wall is stark white and blank, save for a series of small lights that punctuate it at about eye level. It has an abundance of natural light, thanks to the windows that front 500 East, and skylights. Most of the seating is at wooden tables with comfortable upholstered chairs, but a counter at the back allows diners to watch the kitchen in action.
Servers are casual and friendly and sport a multitude of tattoos. The whole vibe is young and hip, reinforced by playlists that can include the Shins, Arcade Fire and Radiohead.
Rye feels fresh, a place where kids and grownups can meet and mingle, whether they want to enjoy breakfast or dinner, or a nosh after rocking a club show. Who knows? You could be dining with a future superstar.

Rye is a new venture by the owners of next-door music venue/bar Urban Lounge, which is why it's open until 2 a.m. on weekends. The menu is heavy on comfort food, but is more ambitious than a typical diner, and includes a standout pork belly lettuce wrap and truffle-infused macaroni and cheese. Unlike many Utah diners, it has a full-service liquor license.

However, the Demons chose to let their play on the field do the talking with a 55-14 win over Southern in their home opener Sept. 7.
In front of a crowd of 14,873---the sixth highest to see a game at Turpin Stadium---NSU (2-0) had its highest point total against a Division I opponent since scoring a school-record 87 points against Southeastern Louisiana in 2003.
"I'm really proud of our guys with the way we handled the whole week," NSU head coach Jay Thomas said. "Our motto this week was 'Win the Week' and we did just that. Our guys came out on fire and played really well in all phases."
Junior quarterback Zach Adkins sparked the Demons as he turned in another strong performance. The Riverside, Calif. native threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns on 22-for-34 passing. His three first-half touchdowns helped the Demons build an insurmountable 31-7 halftime lead.
"I just have to credit my offensive line and my receivers," Adkins said. "They were making great plays for me all game and making it easy."
Southern (0-2) had a hard time trying to put pressure Adkins and Thomas expounded on his quarterback's poise.
"That's his thing, the California swag," Thomas said. "He's got that role about him, I like that about him. He can make and extend plays for us and that's critical. Some guys don't know when they need to do that, but he does have the clock in his head."
Sophomore wide receiver Ed Eagan was one of Adkins' favorite targets during the game, catching six passes for 98 yards and a touchdown. The New Orleans native also showed off his kick return skills with a 61-yard return to set up a Robert Walker two-yard score to make the game 45-14 midway through the third quarter.
"Ed is a phenomenal athlete," Thomas said. "It was a good move moving him from defense to offense and it's allowed us to put another guy over there that is a weapon. The guy makes unbelievable plays and does a great job in the return game."
Defensively, NSU held the Jaguars to 248 total yards and sacked Dray Joseph five times, as the 'Purple Swarm' defense lived up to its name.
"That's what we hang our hat on, swarming to the football," Thomas said. "These guys played with a lot of pride. They've been practicing with a chip on their shoulder the entire year. Coach [Chris] Boone did a nice job in keeping us in basic coverages. We didn't want to hurt ourselves or shoot our toes off. The guys did a great job tackling in the open field. We got pressure on the quarterback when we needed to."
The Jaguars lone bright spot was Willie Quinn and his two touchdowns to prevent Southern from being shut out.
Quinn's second touchdown came by way of a 98-yard kickoff return---the longest such return against NSU in its 105-year history.
With the victory, NSU starts a season off 2-0 for the first time since 2007 and Thomas stated it was an overall effort.
"It's great, but the thing is that it's not about one coach or one player. It's about all of us." Thomas said. "That's what we are here to do."
The Demons will now face two Football Bowl Subdivision schools, starting with a trip to Cincinnati Saturday at 6 p.m.

Three people, including a three-year-old boy, were injured when a 30-kilogram bomb hidden in a motorcycle went off in front of Mayor Hospital in the southern border province of Pattani on Sunday morning, police said.
Pol Col Kong-ath Suwankham, the Mayor district police chief, said a hospital employee phoned the police after he saw a suspicious man parking a motorbike with a side car outside the hospital. The man, who wore a helmet and a black shirt, then rushed to another motorbike and fled.
According to the witness, he heard a loud explosion just under 10 minutes after he made the phone call.
The blast wounded a 25-year-old woman and her son. The two were on a motorbike passing through the area. A hospital staff member, aged 29, was also injured in the attack. The three were now safe.
A bomb disposal team found a damaged motorbike and pieces of a gas tank scattered around the area.
Pol Col Kong-ath said police were able to identify at least five suspects involved in the motorcycle bombing. So far, four of them had been arrested and taken to a military regiment for further questioning.

City's chess players still hopeful for Batang Pinoy-A A +A
Monday, January 13, 2014
DAVAO City chess players are still hoping to make it to the 2013 Batang Pinoy National Championships slated January 28 to February 1 in Bacolod City despite the decision of the city to back out.
Ella Grace Moulic of Holy Cross of Davao College (HCDC), who championed in last year's Batang Pinoy Mindanao Qualifying Leg chess competition, will be joined by co-Holy Crossian Tahseen Saludsong together with Gimony siblings, Bhing Joel and Joerlz of Jose Maria College (JMC) to compete in the 15-under category.
In an online interview with Sun.Star Davao, Coach Alfred Moulic, father of Ella Grace, said they were really disappointed when they found out that the city will no longer send a delegation to Batang Pinoy National Championships.
Moulic said they were disappointed because it was declared that only gold medalists will be sent for Batang Pinoy, in which their silver and bronze medalists could not join.
"This will be the last time for most of our players to participate because they will turn 15 above this year. We are not certain if there will be a tougher chess team which will represent the city for the next Batang Pinoy Mindanao Qualifying Leg," Moulic said.
He said they are still waiting for Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte's response in their request for financial assistance.
"We submitted a solicitation letter to the mayor and we hope that it will be approved," he said.
He said that despite this circumstance, they remain grateful to HCDC and JMC for being supportive in the players' dream to participate in BP and make Davao City proud.
In preparing for the competition, Moulic said they do regular problem solving and puzzle activities to boost the players' mental alertness.

Cambridge teacher gives away 26 personal training sessions to raise money for the Youth Sport Trust
Posted: March 26, 2014|
Personal training sessions were up for grabs last weekend from a PE teacher in Cambridge.
Ben Elston, a PE and games teacher at The Perse Prep School, gave away 26 personal training sessions at Chesterton Sports Centre on Saturday and Sunday as part of his preparation for the London Marathon.
While there was no set cost for the sessions, donations were welcomed from the 26 participants to raise as much money as possible for his chosen charity.
Ben said: "The day went really well. I trained 26 people in 21 sessions over the weekend.
"I had a variety of people come along, male and female and of different age ranges.
"Doing so many sessions back to back was tough and quite tiring.
"It's harder to not know what your client wants from the session.
"I helped one lady who plans to run the London Marathon next year so I could pass on my training that I have been doing this year.
"There was a good atmosphere at the centre and I had a lot of people there cheering me on."
The personal training sessions have so far raised an extra £250 to Ben's total, but he hopes this will grow further to £300 or £400.
The teacher is set to run the marathon next month to raise money for The Youth Sport Trust, a charity devoted to changing young people's lives through sport by providing opportunities and support for children across the UK.
He said: "I did some volunteer work for the Youth Sport Trust while I was at university.
"I think they're just a great organisation that provides opportunities for young children in sport and opportunities for gifted and talented young atheletes to achieve their potential.
"Being a PE teacher I believe that sport is very important for young people growing up.
"If children enjoy it when they're young, they're more likely to continue to do it through life."
Ben is now in his final week of training for the marathon and is planning a final run of the full 26 miles on Sunday.
He added: "I think at the moment I'm just excited for it.I am looking forward to training being over and getting the last week done before the big day.
"I have heard there is a great atmosphere on the day so I'm really looking forward to experiencing that."
Ben hopes to raise £2,000 for the charity and is coming very close to reaching his target.

Using elephant bullets to kill small ants
Few months ago we started two very similar projects in my daylight job. Both projects were WebStart applications based on simple business rules with a lot data validation and a fancy GUI requirement - almost all Swing components were used to produce the visual aspect our client had requested. Those projects shared the same life-cycle, under the same management model but with different teams. A project was carried out by a junior team while the other was formed by experienced programmers. Few weeks after the beggining, we noticed a critical difference between the projects: its sizes - both projects had a very similar number of code lines but the former was much heavier than the latter. The junior team produced their system based on third party libraries, while the experienced programmers provided a lightweight solution. Evaluating all the development process we observed a very common scene in the software industry: velocity versus reasoning. While the experienced programmers designed the software based on their solid background about the Java API, the newbies relied on Google to ask how to do their duties. Many tasks were solved through a download of a third party library. JDom, Log4J and many other JARs were dropped in the lib folder without much care concerning the impact in the project size. The tasks were quickly developed and any new issue was fixed through a new Google search. Other interesting aspect is that those libraries had also their third party dependencies, i.e., a chain reaction. You may conclude the problem was in the junior team, the people was unskilled for the project. But ask yourself how many libraries you adopted in your last project and also if all those libraries were really necessary. Few years ago people produced bank applications with less than 1Mb of memory (do you remember ambar screens?). Nowadays, any computer without 1Gb RAM seems useless for the developers. Part of this complexity comes from the user demand - friendly GUIs, robust systems to inapt users and the sophisticated technology and tools. Other aspect is about the interoperability among systems that pushes the simplicity away (SOA? EJB?). It is a natural motion in the software industry and people are not concerned about that - but there is the developers side. If one starts a simple project without thinking about its size, a system could depends on 10 Mb or more just to read mails and save files, and that's seems to be a next quality concern. When you think about software quality, do you include the size of the project in your evaluation? And what about dependencies? Ok, I'm not suggesting you to make all the hard working from the raw concepts and using only the Java API - but I feel sometimes we are loosing the sense of equilibrium in that question. My suggestion: to adopt good libraries just after comparing their features with the JRE API and also after a brief evaluation about their benefits in the project life-cycle, including the future perspectives of both projects - your project and the exogenous libraries. Let's think about that ....

Dom Turner
The Backsliders
Backsliders - are leaders and virtual pioneers in their own genre - 'delta-blues wall of sound'. As a three piece, they can lift the roof off any venue – moving from straight ahead, in your face, 'amped up' original blues - 'Blues 'not 'Roots' that is – to 'all-acoustic' unplugged 'way down south' delta blues. Multi-media celebrity, Doug Mulray describes them as 'the best acoustic blues band in the country'.
Guitarist/ vocalist, founding member and key songwriter for the band, Dom Turner specialises in "bottle-neck" slide guitar using resonator, as well as 6 & 12 string guitars. Dom's influences are many and varied – a blend of delta blues, piedmont blues, rock, dub and sounds of Asia. He is a highly regarded speaker on blues and roots music and has guested on ABC (Australian Broadcasting Commission) radio programs and presented music workshops at festivals and in universities (both nationally and internationally). As well as playing in the Backsliders, Dom has toured as a solo artist in the USA, playing Augusta Blues week in West Virginia in 1996 and 1998, and in early 2006, he toured Mexico with US blues greats, Del Ray and Steve James. In 2004 Dom was voted Songwriter of the Year' at the Australian Blues Awards in Goulburn, NSW and has a sculpture in recognition of this honour at the Goulburn Visitors Centre.

Whistleblower's concerns over ambulance service plans to staff emergency vehicles with care assistants
Posted: March 02, 2014|
THEY can't give so much as a Paracetamol or a dose of Calpol, but they could be the first on the scene of a life and death situation.
That's the fear of one concerned paramedic, who fears new rules allowing emergency care assistants to drive rapid response vehicles could cost lives.
As a result of the merger of Gloucestershire's ambulance service, Great Western, in to the South West Ambulance Service Trust, changes are being made which concern some on the frontline.
One paramedic fears that non-clinical emergency care assistants could be stranded on their own in a life-threatening situation.
Related content
"We have been told there is back-up on the phone from clinical staff but I have tried that line and sometimes it doesn't get picked up for quite some time," said the Gloucestershire paramedic, who did not wish to be named.
"And likewise they say a paramedic or ambulance technician will be dispatched at the same time. In busy periods, I can't see how that will happen.
"I am not doing ECAs down - they do a good job - but they are not clinically trained and this could put them and patients in a very difficult position.
"They can't help with drugs - not even a Paracetamol, Calpol or a nebuliser."
He accepts it's not new for ECAs to staff double-crew ambulances but they have not staffed rapid response vehicles before.
The trust said the change is being made so ECAs can help young children more quickly - clinical advice will always be at hand by phone and clinical staff will be sent at the same time.
"Staff are currently extremely concerned by a policy which has just been introduced to help to sort the current response failings and qualified staff shortfalls," said the paramedic.
"The service is, where necessary, going to staff emergency frontline ambulances with non-clinical emergency care assistant staff. This is not a new concept but historically these ambulances would be sent to pre-triaged, very low risk calls.
"The new policy states 'they will be sent to all categories of emergencies'.
"These staff are non clinical, have no accountability, and are unable to administer any drugs.
"The policy also states that on occasion they will be placed on rapid response vehicles as a first response.
"Rapid response vehicles are the primary response to life-threatening emergencies, at times needing rapid clinical intervention. This we believe is utterly inappropriate and in short, a disgrace."
Crews are supposed to respond to the most serious calls within eight minutes in least 75 per cent of cases but that target is only being met in Gloucester and Cheltenham - not in the county's rural areas.
A South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) spokesman said responding to medical emergencies is often time critical and it will always dispatch the nearest available resource.
"Emergency care assistants are trained in life saving skills and will be deployed to respond to a 999 call if they are the nearest resource," he said.
"Back-up will always be deployed immediately to support the ECAs where they are likely to be first on scene. Clinical advice is always available to all staff, including ECAs, from the control room and from SWASFT's senior clinical team on the radio. This support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"This policy is not new but has been revised to enable ECAs to respond to emergencies involving children under eight-years-old, at which point simultaneous back-up from the next nearest available paramedic will also be deployed. This will help to ensure that poorly children receive the fastest response."
He said ECA 'overwhelmingly supported the proposal'.
"ECAs across the trust are very supportive of the changes," he said.
"Many staff told us that they welcomed this addition to the policy - 'It would be terrible to know that we were closest to a poorly child but unable to respond'.
"It is a shame that this one individual does not support the move. SWASFT is very willing to discuss their concerns with them directly."

University of Virginia School of
Curriculum Committee
Pediatric Conference Room, 4:00 p.m.
Present (underlined) were: Reid Adams, Gretchen Arnold, Eve Bargmann, Dan Becker, Robert Bloodgood, Thomas Gampper, Wendy Golden, Donald Innes (Chair), Howard Kutchai, Marcus Martin, Mohan Nadkarni, Chris Peterson, Jerry Short, Bill Wilson, Brad Bradenham, Emily Clarke, Sixtine Valdelievre, Debra Reed (secretary)
- Announcements.
a) Two news articles from Dartmouth Medical School:
Dartmouth Medical School Begins Bi-coastal Teaching Partnership With San Francisco's California Pacific Medical Center
Fixing Health Care: More Doctors Are Not the Solution
b) News article from the AAMC
Changes Possible for Medical Licensing Exam
c) Anatomy Curriculum Group - Members of the Study Group (Kristy Davis, Spencer Gay, Don Innes, Melanie McCollum and Brad Bradenham) met on 1/24/08.
The group has begun to tackle formalin vapor issues, cadaver selection and preparation, need for down draft tables. They will begin discussion of deeper curriculum issues after immediate issues have been resolved. It was noted that USMLE Step 1 Anatomy scores for UVA, while rising are not rising as fast as the national average. The group will seek to determine if our teaching methods can be improved and made more clinically relevant. Cases being developed by Spencer Gay to correspond to individual gross disections is thought to be a step toward this goal.
d) Notes from recent Dean's Town Meeting (01.10.08) Please see attachment.
PoM-2 Requests Guidance.
Brian Wispelwey requested that the Curriculum Committee review the POM2 exam policy.
POM II has four examinations, each of which stands alone with regard to the subject matter that is covered and must therefore be mastered. In the Brave New World of Pass /Fail a cumulative passing grade for this course does not imply mastery of each individual data set. We had proposed that a passing grade of at least 70 on each exam would be required to pass the course and this has created a stir. I still believe this is important and Darci and I favor making those who do not attain this score repeat the exam until they do. We need the curriculum committees approval or alternative suggestions.
After intense discussion, including proposals for a cummulative final examination, a minimum score on all exams, and a minimum score for the final grade, the Committee agreed that exams should not be considered optional.
The Curriculum Committee unanimously approved a motion that all formal course examinations are required activities. Failure to take seriously the understanding and mastery of a body of knowledge necessary for patient care should be recorded in the student's file as a breach of professionalism.
Clinical Skills Educator Program.
The Committee discussed the curriculum for the Clinical Skills Educator Program. While the program pilot in Internal Medicine is very well received by the students, there is some concern that the experience may not be equivocal for all students participating. Cases vary week to week and preceptor to preceptor. Whether a standard set of cases should be established or even could be established was discussed. The Committee decided to recommend that the Program Director(s) meet regularly with the instructors in the program to outline expectations and course requirements.
War Games.
The Curriculum Committee agreed that the "War Games" outlined by Jeff Young at a previous meeting could be an asset to the curriculum. Possible insertion points include during a proposed selective anesthesiology experience or elsewhere in the Surgery Clerkship. The Committee would like to see the experience spread over all of the surgery subspecialties so that no one subspecialty is burdened by the "War Games" experience. Addition of "War Games" scenarios to the Clinical Connection sessions (Reid Adams, Director) also seems appropriate. These suggestions will be communicated to Jeff Young.
Curriculum Committee Agenda: Elective time in the fourth year will be discussed at a future meeting. Members were asked to suggest future agenda topics to Don Innes by e-mail. [Success in residency placement; Course reviews (Neuroscience; Anatomy; PoM-1), course director description, year-one comprehensive exam]

Continental Divide
The "Continental Divide," is a geological demarcation line that splits Northern Wisconsin. North of "The Divide," rivers flow to Lake Superior. These waterways are full of rapids and waterfalls, making river travel impossible. To the south, navigable rivers run south to the Mississippi River. Travelers on the Flambeau Trail had to cross the rugged landscape until the "Divide," where they could paddle the navigable river ways to Lac du Flambeau.
Between Mercer and Hurley.

routers are good, you will need a netweork card in your pc.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good DSL modem? I just signed up with SBC/Yahoo and they plan on sending me some sort of Windoze modem. I'm looking for an eternal for RH 7.3 & 8.0. Any suggestions are appreciated.
routers are good, you will need a netweork card in your pc.
Are saying to plug the DSL line directly into a router, such as a Linksys Cable/DSL router? Then, connect my boxes with patch cables?
What kind of modem are they sending you? make/model?
Jim H
I have no idea. The DSL carpet got yanked from under my feet. Ameritech's database was screwed up. So, that told all of the DSL providers that DSL could be installed. But...... actually not. Bummer. So, back to dial up!
awww :'( :'( :'(
That sucks. :'(

i know alastair feels for you there ;D 8)

G1NH BSc Mathematics with Finance (3 yrs)
Mathematicians are in great demand throughout business, but particularly in the financial sector as a whole. You can look forward to a career in areas such as international banking, accountancy, the stock market, financial consultancy, government and the civil service. In recent years mathematicians have developed sophisticated techniques which help to forecast some of the fluctuations which take place in world stock and commodity markets and underpin many financial products such as stock options and futures.

Obestrim Review
"Just one pill a day and you're appetite is switched off up to12 hours," promises the official Obestrim website. Grammar errors aside, I was intrigued by this statement. It holds an appealing promise any dieter would love to see realized. But can Obestrim really switch off your appetite?
Obestrim Customer Reviews
Obestrim.com has several success stories from "real people" with "real results." There are before and after pictures and detailed testimonials. However, these reviews are on the official website, so I question how unbiased and authentic they are. I know for sure Susan A.'s "after" photo on the home page is a stock image because I've seen it on other sites.
Obestrim has more than 46,200 "Likes" on Facebook. "Likes" aren't reviews, but they do show how popular Obestrim is. You can actually find several comments and mini reviews from Obestrim users on Facebook.
Company Reputation
The official website says Obestrim is made by Obesity Research Division. But it shows a picture of the PE Labs Nutraceutical Research Division. I'm not sure if these are the same company, but it appears they are. The website refers to them interchangeably.
I found several complaints about PE Labs online. RipoffReport.com has 64 posts and ComplaintsBoard.com has 11. Not all were about Obestrim, but they involved PE Lab products.
People complained about being overbilled and deceived. They also had trouble getting refunds. A few people said they were charged, but never received their orders.
The Ingredients
Obestrim's active ingredients are combined in a proprietary blend. The first ingredient listed is Arexis Garcinia Rx. It's also a proprietary blend, but no ingredients are listed. I'm not sure if Arexis Garcinia Rx is a smaller blend within the main blend. Or it could be the name for Obestrim's main proprietary blend.
Green Tea Extract – contains caffeine. It increases energy, boosts metabolism, and eliminates toxins from the body.[1]
1,3 Dimethylamylamine – boosts energy and stimulates fat burn.
Garcinia Cambogia – promotes fat loss and weight loss by preventing sugar absorption.[2]
L-Carnitine – increases fat metabolism in rats.[3]
Semnostachya Menglaensis – believed to suppress appetite and increase metabolism. I couldn't find any studies proving its effectiveness.
Lotus Leaf – contains beneficial antioxidants, but does not contribute to weight loss.
Konjac Root Fiber – lessens hunger and prolongs feelings of fullness. Study participants lost 5.5 pounds in 8 weeks by supplementing only with konjac.[4]
Caralluma Fimbriata – inhibits fat production and suppresses cravings.[5]
The Problem with Proprietary Blends
Most supplement companies use proprietary blends. The advantage is blends hide the formula from companies who might copy it. The disadvantage is blends hide dosages from prospective buyers who need to know what they're paying for.
Obestrim's proven ingredients must be used in proven amounts or they won't be effective. Since dosages are hidden, I don't know if Obestrim has proven amounts or not. This makes me uneasy.
Consumers are just expected to buy Obestrim and trust the company to include safe, effective dosages. Based on all the complaints PE Labs has received, I'm skeptical of how reliable this company is.
Does Obestrim Have Safe Ingredients?
Obestrim has two ingredients which may not be safe.
Garcinia cambogia contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA). Research hasn't proven HCA is unsafe, but many people believe it causes serious liver problems. Several well-known diet pill companies have stopped using it.
In 2012, the FDA ruled 1,3 Dimethylamylamine (DMAA) is not naturally derived. It's a synthetic stimulant, which is linked to causing serious side effects and even death. DMAA seems more likely to cause side effects when users take too much. Since Obestrim dosages are hidden, I don't know how much DMAA it has.
Do You Really Only Take 1 Pill?
You only need 1 capsule a day, the company says, but you can take two. Just don't take more than two in a 24-hour period. Will 1-2 capsules really be effective?
These are the proven daily dosages Obestrim needs to provide:
• Green Tea Extract: 300 mg
• Garcinia Cambogia: 900 mg
• Konjac Root Fiber: 3,000 mg
• Caralluma Fimbriata: 1,000 mg
• Total: 5,200 mg
The other ingredients don't have proven dosages because they weren't tested in human trials.
The largest sized capsule is slightly more than an inch long and holds about 1,370 mg.[6] If Obestrim is going to provide proven dosages for 4 ingredients, it needs a capsule 4x larger than the largest size available. Or users need to take 4 capsules a day instead of 1.
Note: I don't recommend taking 4 capsules because I don't know if the included dosages are safe.
Buying Obestrim
Obestrim.com is the only reputable site that sells Obestrim. Thirty capsules costs $49.95. Sixty capsules costs $79.95. Ninety capsules costs $109.95. Shipping on all orders is $4.95.
Money Back Guarantee
You have 60 days after purchasing Obestrim to return it. Follow these steps to get your full refund:
1. Login to your account on www.obestrim.com/myaccount or call customer service (855-343-6802)
2. Obtain a Return Merchandize Authorization number
3. Return all opened and unopened products
The opened bottle must be half or more full. If you return less than half, the 60 day money back guarantee is void in the company's eyes.
Although the company says you only need 1 capsule to lose weight, I doubt this amount is effective. Obestrim cannot possibly contain the required proven dosages in 1-3 capsules. Four Obestrim capsules contain a large-enough total dosage. But I don't know if this total dosage includes the correct individual dosages.
Obestrim uses two potentially unsafe ingredients and it may or may not have safe dosages.
I don't recommend buying Obestrim. Top-rated diet pills contain safer, more effective formulas which actually deliver the promised results.

Metabolic Maintenance, DIM Complex, Diindolylmethane with CoFactors, 60 Capsules
By Metabolic Maintenance11 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Jun 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.59 lbs (0.27 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This is great, I will definitely repurchase. It has really helped with my hot flashes, I get no hot flashes now, after using it for about a month. I still get hot, when it's really hot outside, or when I eat the wrong foods, but no hot flashes. I am suppose to take two, because I am overweight, but realized, since this has extra vitamins in it, that I can't take two, so I am going to have to find a DIM supplement without the extra vitamins, but I will continue to take this brand as well. It has really helped to balance out my hormones, and get the excess estrogen out of my body, I am no longer irritabile, thanks to this and Holy Basil. I also, sleep much better.
This would have to be the best form of DIM that i have come across to date. The co-factors in this formula are a great combo for making sure that your hormone are converting on the healthy pathway. It has helped many of my clients with breast tenderness and any lumps and bumps in the wrong places - fibroids, cysts, as well as helping guys with hormonal acne. Simply a great product.

It turns out there is one very special place in this world where all good jeans go after they get kicked out from people's closets for one reason or another: Iris Industries headquarters.
This company is in the business of putting jeans that would otherwise end up in landfills to better use. Not to beat about the bush, they collect them and use them to make a tough and durable plastic that they proudly call Denimite.
Check out the video below to see exactly how the denim is processed and turned into plastic.
From where I stand, their eco-friendly plastic looks pretty cool, and I have to admit that I would not hesitate to buy one or two things made from this material. Especially if it really is as durable as its makers say it is.
According to Clean Technica, the folks at Iris Industries have thus far managed to make only a few and fairly small items using this material. However, they wish to go large-scale, and for this, they need our help.
They have started a Kickstarter campaign, and now hope to raise the funds that they need to upgrade their business.
"Funding through this campaign will allow us to construct a new custom press and purchase the necessary equipment to move this to a larger scale, as well as build molds for our smaller items."
"Our goal is to produce sustainable composites, and Denimite is the first of a new line of materials," the website for their campaign reads.
You can also check out Iris Industries' official website if you want to learn more about this initiative.

PIERRE, S.D. – (DRG News) Governor Dennis Daugaard will take part in the upcoming summer meeting for the National Governor's Association. Governors from across the country will gather in Milwaukee, Wisconsin August 1-4 for the annual conference. Daugaard missed last year's meeting due to the impending birth of his first grandchild. Daugaard leads the group's Natural Resources Committee and he says a subcommittee meeting on natural resources and energy related topics will be on the agenda, along with other subjects.
Daugaard also says one of the sessions that is scheduled during the meeting will focus on Criminal Justice Reform.
South Dakota lawmakers passed a bill that reforms the state's criminal justice system during this year's legislative session. It allows states' attorneys and judges more discretion in using alternate punishments for nonviolent offenders-making the offenders accountable through means other than prison terms.
Daugaard says he and the First Lady will go to the conference a few days early to spend time with Wisconsin's Governor and First Lady.
The summer meeting business sessions begin August 2 with a news conference where the weekend's events and governors' collective priorities will be discussed. Also during the NGA meeting, the state leaders will attend "governors-only" sessions, which allows them to discuss issues states are facing. The meeting will wrap up with a welcome to incoming NGA Chair-Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin and the incoming Vice Chair-who will be announced at the meeting.

Microsoft's next generation unified communications solution has reached an important milestone, namely the end of the development process. And with Microsoft Lync now released to manufacturing, the focus shifts away from the engineering efforts and onto bringing the offering to customers worldwide.
The Redmond company reveals that it is right on track to bringing Microsoft Lync to market by the end of the year.
In fact, even before Lync hit RTM, the software giant had already announced the launch deadline. Release is set for November 17th, 2010 at an event in New York.
Unfortunately, I'll not be able to attend the launch, but I cover the release nonetheless, so make sure to keep your eyes on Softpedia.
Customers already leveraging unified communications solutions from Microsoft are undoubtedly familiar with the Office Communications Server and Communicator. Well, Microsoft Lync 2010 is the successor of Office Communications Server and Communicator 2007.
And just like its predecessor, Lync enables customers to take advantage of enterprise grade instant messaging, presence, video and voice capabilities, streamlining communications.
Kirk Gregersen, Sr. Director for Lync promised that "the Lync 2010 release takes collaboration and productivity to the next level by:
•Providing a single platform that integrates the various modes of communication necessary for people and businesses to be productive. It does this for the end user via a single client experience, and on the back-end with a unified infrastructure and management experience.
•Enabling an extensible and open platform that invites corporate and professional developers around the world to help us provide customers with greater flexibility.
•Rounding out enterprise voice capabilities so that Lync can help the broadest set of customers reduce legacy infrastructure costs and enhance that infrastructure with an incredibly rich set of softphone capabilities.
•Supporting our partner community by enabling them to provide an optimized experience with Lync. This is exemplified by the enormous range of devices available from partners around the world."
The November 17th, 2010 general availability deadline is the next milestone for Lync. The UC solution will be launched to customers worldwide, Gregersen explains, noting that the event will be keynoted by Chris Capossela, senior vice president of the Microsoft Office Division.
"If you caught our Office 365 disclosure last week, you saw that the next version of cloud productivity from Microsoft will also deliver the 2010 suite of products, including Office, Sharepoint, Exchange and Lync, to customers of all sizes," he added.

I've been trying to find out how I can further customize the login screen on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Is this something that can be done in terms of moving the actual window for the username and password more upwards and to the left? If I can resize it and also change the color and transparency to it or is this something I can only accomplish by downloading the source code and finding a way within there?
