Steelers' Hampton might play against Patriots
Veteran nose tackle Casey Hampton could return Sunday after missing the previous three games with a shoulder injury.
Hampton is scheduled to practice Wednesday, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said today at his weekly news conference.
The Steelers host the New England Patriots on Sunday for a 4:15 p.m. game, and they are slowly getting healthier on defense.
Nose tackle Chris Hoke (neck), outside linebackers Jason Worilds (quad) and James Harrison and guard Doug Legursky (toe) are "status quo," Tomlin said as far as their injuries. That means Hoke and Worilds have a chance to play against the Patriots, while Harrison will miss his fourth consecutive game, and Legursky will be out for a second straight week.
Veteran wide receiver Hines Ward is questionable for Sunday after spraining his ankle in the Steelers' 32-20 win at Arizona. Tomlin sounded cautiously optimistic that Ward will be able to suit up against the Patriots.
Tomlin said Ward's "participation" this week in practice will dictate whether the 14th-year veteran plays against New England.

Two and a Half Men
CBS shuffles Monday night comedy schedule
Rules stars David Spade, Oliver Hudson (Dawson's Creek) and Patrick Warburton ("Puddy" from Seinfeld). It's about two couples and a single guy who "navigate the jungles of dating, engagement and marriage." Moving it into the 9:30 pm slot during sweeps is a vote of confidence on CBS' part.
The move displaces The New Adventures of Old Christine, which be on a brief hiatus in February (they're pulling it for sweeps!). Old Christine will slide into the 8:30 pm slot after March 5th, when The Class finale airs. And it looks like the series finale of King of Queens will air May 21- but that's not definite.
Two and a Half Men vs. American Family Association
On the December 11th episode of Two and a Half Men, Charlie Sheen sang a "vulgar adaptation" of "Joy to the World." The American Family Association is demanding an apology for these altered lyrics:
Charlie Sheen is about to be the highest paid sitcom star
CBS knows what it has on its hands; that's why it chipped in to make show star Charlie Sheen the highest paid sitcom actor currently on the air. The Hollywood Reporter writes that Sheen is ready to sign a contract that will pay him between $350,000 - $400,000 per episode, which is twice what he was making before. A network contribution, according to the article, has become common in such high-profile negotiations. No word, though, on if the other one and a half men on the show -- Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones -- got raises, too. I definitely think Jones should get a big raise; he may just be telling fart jokes, but he's doing it with conviction.

How to write for television: a tutorial
Armchair Executive: Would you renew Two and a Half Men?
It's probably a forgone conclusion that the executives at CBS will renew Two and a Half Men. The comedy, which stars Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones, is consistently in the Nielsen ratings' top 20 and is about to reach the magical syndication mark. In addition, it is one of the more popular comedies (How I Met Your Mother being the other) on the drama-heavy network.
And yet, there may be some apprehension amongst the CBS suits about renewal because of the recent antics of star Sheen. First the actor divorced his on-again off-again wife Denise Richards, then Richards obtained a restraining order against Sheen due to, among other things, alleged verbal and physical abuse, excessive gambling, and his frequent visits to child porn sites (maybe he needs to be a guest-star on Law & Order: SVU). To top it all off, he was sued by a woman who claimed that the character he portrays on his sitcom was based on her.
Warner Bros. to let local stations stream Two and a Half Men reruns
[Thanks for the tip, Todd!]
Charlie Sheen sued
First he's going through the divorce nastiness with wife Denise Richards, and now a woman is suing him, claiming that the character Sheen plays on Two and a Half Men is based on her.
Not really sure how you sue an actor for a character created by someone else, but whatever.

The Five: Hottest female TV personalities over 60
For this list, I decided to consider all women over 60, not just the ones that were between 60 and 69. The reason for that was simple: can you think of any woman on the air that's over 70 or 80? I can only think of two over-70 women, both of whom are on the Honorable Mentions list. And the one over-80 woman I can think of is Betty White, whom I've never really considered to be all that sexy (covers head waiting for the tomatoes to fly in). Oh, and for those who say "Diane Keaton": I love her and think she's extremely sexy, but I still primarily think of her as a film actress, even though she's been doing a lot of TV movies lately.
So, after the jump, my list of women who would make for a hot date and get a discount at the movies at the same time. Who could beat that?

Two And A Half Men only sitcom to grow
That's right, the CBS Monday night sitcom is the only comedy to actually increase viewers this season. Everything else, from Will and Grace to The Simpsons to Everybody Loves Raymond is showing a slide. Hey, I actually like Two and a Half Men. I think it's a pretty funny show (more so than, say, Yes Dear or Joey or heaven help us, Listen Up), but I find it incredibly depressing that an article about the state of TV comedy doesn't even mention Arrested Development.

Effective Oct. 14, 2012, Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield is implementing the clarified ancillary claims filing rules released by the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association for the following ancillary services:
The Claims Filing provider guide has also been updated with the new ancillary claims guidelines.
Defining what Plan is local
For ancillary services that occur on or after Oct. 14, 2012, Wellmark will use the following criteria when processing ancillary services claims.
Please note that these guidelines do not apply to claims submitted for Federal Employee Program (FEP) members. Please continue to follow FEP claims filing guidelines for ancillary services.
Examples of how claims will be processed
Independent Clinical Lab
Your lab processes a specimen that was drawn in Wisconsin for a patient who has Wellmark coverage. Submit the claim to the Wisconsin Plan. If you have an Agreement with the Wisconsin Plan, then the claim will process as a participating provider claim; if not, the claim will process as a non-participating provider claim.
DME Supplier
You ship DME supplies to a patient's home address in Texas and the patient has Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan coverage. Submit the claim to the Texas Plan. If you have an Agreement with the Texas Plan, then it will process as a participating provider claim; if not, it will process as a non-participating provider claim.
Ancillary providers contracting options
With this change, ancillary providers must submit claims where the service was provided. That Blue Plan may offer you the option of contracting or the claim will be processed as an out-of-network claim.
For example, a member goes to a doctor in Iowa who contracts with Wellmark. The doctor draws a blood sample and sends it to a lab in Missouri. The lab must submit the claim to Wellmark. Unless that lab in Missouri has a contract with Wellmark, the claim will process out-of-network even though the lab may have a contract with the Missouri Blue Plan.
If you are an ancillary provider who currently does business with providers from states other than Iowa or South Dakota, you are encouraged to contact the Blue Plans in those states to discuss contracting/enrollment options.
Wellmark strongly encourages out-of-state independent clinical laboratories and durable medical equipment suppliers to sign both Iowa and South Dakota provider agreements. Out-of-state providers who sign with Wellmark will be added to the Wellmark provider directories as in-network for both Iowa and South Dakota members. If you are an out-of-state ancillary provider who provides care for Wellmark members who live in Iowa or South Dakota, you will need to contract with Wellmark so that claims process as in-network. Credentialing and enrollment forms are available online.
Use contracted ancillary providers
Contracting Wellmark providers are required to use ancillary providers who also contract with Wellmark so that patients receive the highest level of benefits available.
Please check the provider directory to ensure the laboratories, durable medical equipment suppliers, and orthotic and prosthetic suppliers you are using are in Wellmark's networks.
Please include the following data elements on your claims. If this information is not provided on the claim, it may result in claim denials or processing delays.
Independent clinical laboratory
Please complete:
Referring provider
If you bill under a supervising physician, please provide the lab the NPI of the supervising physician who is referring the patient, not the NPI of the attending provider seeing the patient.
Durable medical equipment supplier/orthotic & prosthetic supplier
Please complete:
Patient's address
Referring provider
If you bill under a supervising physician, please provide the lab the NPI of the supervising physician who is referring the patient, not the NPI of the attending provider seeing the patient.
Place of service
Service facility location information
Hy-Vee Pharmacy Solutions and CVS/Caremark are the two specialty pharmacies contracted to provide specialty pharmacy services to Wellmark members. Their billing practices are unaffected by the ancillary claims filing guidelines.
If you are currently contracted with Wellmark as a Home Infusion Therapy (HIT) provider, you should be aware of some recent changes to credentialing criteria. If you meet the new credentialing requirements for HIT, your billing practices should be unaffected by the ancillary claims filing guidelines.

Four-year-old Issac Garcia of Borger won Silver in Fighting and the Bronze in Forms in his division.
 Master MarkAnthony Baca of American Karate Studios, was pleased with his student's performance, saying, "Their was some really tough competition. Issac was almost not allowed to compete because he was too young. He was the only child four years old at competition and he competed with children about to turn six years old and did very good."
Isaac's older brother Alex did not come home with a medal. However, Baca was pleased with his performance, saying, " Alex had some stiff competition but walked away with experience and had tons of fun in the big city. No doubt both brothers did awesome."

Crust is a bit runny and hard to work with, but with patience I was able to form it in the tart pan, and the end result was delicious. I served with a dollop of whipped cream but ideal would be a sprig of lavender.flag if inappropriate
Made this with a little extra flour instead of the almonds to rave reviews. Easy, delicious, and quick. Will definitely make again!!flag if inappropriate
I made this exactly as written except I used Meyer Lemon infused olive oil.. Delicious and rave reviews. The shell is fantastic and very easy to pat into the tart pan with finger tips.flag if inappropriate
has anyone tried a gluten free version? i was thinking of using a gf graham crust. any thoughts?flag if inappropriate
Made this recipe a couple of times, and turned out great. Put more lemon in the curd, I like it very tart. It has become one of my go to desserts, when I can plan ahead.flag if inappropriate
Thanks for all the tips on handling the crust. It came out great the first time, but the second time I tried it substituting my Meyer Lemon infused olive oil (http://www.santafeoliveoil.com) and it was even better!flag if inappropriate
I was beyond excited to try this dish, only to find out that it is neither complex nor a repeat recipe. Crust was easy to make, just really thin and I did have to weigh it down as others stated. Lemon filling was ok but that too was thin, I guess after reading all the rave reviews I set myself up to think this was going to be the greatest tart ever.... it wasn't. Its not bad, but it failed to make that "wow" statement for me. Search continues....flag if inappropriate
This crust is definitely difficult and tempermental. I followed the advice of others in handling it. I poured it into a chilled shell, and set it in the freezer for 5 minutes before attempting to spread it up onto the sides, but it was still quite fluid. I found it easier to get a smooth bottom and get more of the dough up onto the sides of the shell with an offset spatula than my fingers. Even still, the crust was quite thick on the bottom and thin on the sides. I pricked the crust after chilling, and blind baked it with parchment and pie weights for the first 10 minutes. I would suggest greasing the parchment as the dough stuck to it when I tried to remove it, I ended up with a hole in the crust. Even still, the crust still puffed up when I returned it to the oven without the weights. It required an extra 2 minutes to fully cook. I did lower the oven temp very slightly to 420 as my oven runs hot, and I didn't have a problem with over-browning on the edges. I haven't tasted the baked crust yet but the dough and the filling were absolutely delicious. I will probably add some sliced almonds to the top and a dusting of powdered sugar.flag if inappropriate
Delightful! Had to double the recipe to fill a 9-inch spring form pan. Ended up with a thicker crust than expected but the flavour was terrific. A light shortbread with a tart lemon curd. I added raspberries and some mint to finish. Rave reviews from all who tasted itflag if inappropriate
I don't have a food processor so I bought almond flour and made a paleo crust out of that, olive oil, and an egg. Baked it blind and forgot to prick it so it puffed up. I haven't eaten the pie yet and wouldn't review it as a pie anyway. But I was pleased to have too much filling for my crust. THE FILLING IS SO DELICIOUS!!!flag if inappropriate

Nothing gets me down more than to see a new blog and blogger come out of the gate all excited and posting great stuff; and than see them fade into the sunset. I know those that do just that, start out with the best of intentions. And there is the other ones. The ones who started a new blog because someone told them it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
The simple fact these bloggers fail to follow through with their best intentions is due to several factors. Those being usually lack of time, a self-imposed problem at best. Lack of commitment, usually cause by not being completely sold on the concept of marketing their business or professional service firm with a blog. And a good strategy to keep the process going. These blogs fail and end up appearing as abandoned on the Web. Remember, what you put on the Web last forever. And an abandoned blog can leave a bad taste in a prospects mouth and set a negative impression of the company too.
Lets not let this happen to you. A new blog and your best intentions are something we should strive to not let go by the way side. You need to have a plan in place to make sure your new blog does not get stale. And a plan to help kick your stale blog in the butt.
Here are four (4) things you must do right now to make sure this does not happen to you.
Write at least 3 Post a Week.
I tell all the people I talk to about blogging they should write a minimum of 3 blog post a week when they first start their blog. Not 1, not 2, but 3. Why, because one of the huge benefits of blogging is the fact you are (or should be) putting up new relevant content. Google likes new relevant content and so do your readers.
Blog post don't need to be written as if you are writing a college paper. They don't have to be long. In fact, they can be varying in length and styles. Numbered lists are good. How-to and even reviews make great blog post.
And don't overlook the importance of making sure your post titles have relevant keywords in them. And put some of those same relevant keywords in the body of the post.
Don't expect your post to be perfect right off the start. And getting those right keywords takes some practice and research. Do you own searching with Google to see what the keywords are for your particular niche or target market.
Leave comments on other blogs.
Another element of blogging is the conversations you will be implementing with your blog post. But, don't stop there. While you are looking for your readers to comment on your blog as part of your desire to keep the conversation going. You should be commenting on other blogs in your niche or target market.
You should be reading other blogs in your niche and you should leave a minimum of 3 comments a week on other blogs. I try to leave 3 comments a day. Why, communicating with other bloggers in your niche will get you noticed. And getting noticed is a key to having a successful blog. And getting noticed will help keep you motivated so you don't have that stale blog that dies on the vine.
And all those comments you are leaving will also include a link back to your own blog. Most if not all blogs include a place to put your own domain when you leave a comment. Don't overlook this great benefit of commenting. I get traffic daily from comments I leave on other blogs. Other commenters will click on that link to see what my site looks like. Why do I know this? Because I do the same thing when I comment on other blogs. I want to know what my fellow commenters' blogs look like. I just might want to add them to my RSS reader.
Oh, and don't forget to send an email to those who comment on your blog thanking them for commenting and for reading your blog. That just might keep them coming back.
Blog popular search terms and keywords.
You can find these popular search terms and keywords by visiting a blog search engine like Technorati. If you try to work a popular topic into a blog post, you just might get your blog noticed. However, if there is one warning I can make here it is to make sure your blog post is relevant to your target and/or niche. Don't put up a post just to get that popular search term in the post in hopes of getting noticed. You will get noticed, but it won't be the kind of notice you were hoping for. Your target audience just may see through your thin attempt at getting noticed, and see it as baiting them for traffic.
So don't trade a quick fix for a long term relationship with your readers.
Don't hide the opportunity for your readers to subscribe to your blog.
If II have to hunt for a way to subscribe to a blog, I usually quit reading the blog. Keep in mind that most browsers now have a RSS button in the address bar of the browser. But not everyone uses RSS to subscribe to blogs. Some use email. Give your readers the option of which they want to use and put the darn thing at the top or as close to the top as you can. And give them multiple places to find your subscription options.
I put it in every post, at the top of my blog and at the bottom of every post's permalink. Don't overlook the importance of giving your readers an easy to find option to subscribe. Subscribers become regular readers. Regular readers become either clients/customers or get you that click through income you are looking for.
Having a stale blog can have a negative impact on your business. A 3 time a week updated, focused blog with relevant content is a great way to get search engines, prospective clients and even reporters to notice you.
If you will take these four methods and kick your blog in the butt, you will see the return on your investment increase over time. And, you will see your business grow.
Drop me an EMAIL if you would like to discuss this further. Or, leave a comment with your questions and I will give you an answer in my comeback comment.

Right now, Springer Carrier typically is the largest manufacturer of air-con in Brazil, truly the only company that offers anything from window-type equipment to be able to the central air conditioning big capability capable of air conditioning conditions like buying malls, hotels plus hospitals, besides being popular in industrial processes.
Living inside California, the summers will receive very hot and also unbearable. With temperature varying inside the middle 90s and also plenty, it really is virtually impossible in order to survive with out air-con! טכנאי מיזוג בחיפה Lets face it, a lot of the time, we all are all busy driving from you area to another. So, it really is very important in order to currently have air-con inside our automobiles that function correctly. If youve ever had your individual air-con program damaged, you recognize exactly how uncomfortable it really is in order to drive with out it incredibly for the duration of the summer. For this particular purpose, it really is important for us in order to usually be sure our air-con is actually working correctly, by getting check ups and also handling any kind of repairs need in order to be done.
These air conditioning units perfect energy savers. As well as on these times when a great deal of persons do everything they could to enhance the particular actual the environmental condition, ordering an energy effective house appliance is actually how to go. These folks use up less electric power or perhaps energy considering when you change them on they begin slowly as well as change the particular compressors settings based found on the desired temperature.
Actually, operating a cursory inspection of the particular entire air conditioner can easily assist eliminate several difficulties prior to they aggravate. While it is complicated for somebody who can be definitely not versed in air conditioner repair to execute a complete inspection, there are a variety of simple compounds to read. Such a great inspection consists of overlooking the particular Freon degrees, gauging degrees of engine oil, and checking out the situation of filter and condensers. If some of these evident difficulties appear, it is important to take the particular methods to correct the particular problem. Should you don't understand just how to correct the issues, don't despair. Quality maintenance Maintenance providers can easily aid in getting the particular air conditioner back perfect shape.
Customer Service. In terms of customer care, Daikin is more effective than Fujitsu. They handle your own inquiries and concerns just as they will. For Fujitsu, you've to wait several weeks prior to they will fix your own air conditioners problem.
טכנאי מיזוג בחיפהA final way for Whitewater air conditioner can be packed air conditioner device. Generally, if you wish so you can cool over two rooms in your home this could be a wise decision. You design for this lessons so you can have one device that homes the environment compressor and evaporator. The cooled air will then be taken from the ducts in your own HVAC program throughout my house. As opposed to using ducts, the particular compressed gas passes through individual models located in individual rooms within the house can be an additional plan.Can we imagine certainly not having a great air conditioner in your house or perhaps office? Many persons cannot realize the key benefits of having a handheld air conditioning program in destination. Many of us can not imagine being forced to work or perhaps live in an atmosphere completely at the actual mercy of the actual weather conditions out of doors.תיקון מזגנים בחיפהThey in addition never create too a great deal noise whenever they are really operating, that makes them perfect for bed room make use of. We are deprived of to be concerned regarding waking somebody up whenever we begin the actual device.By using Whitewater air conditioner, a central air condition experience an additional option. Opposite of the actual windowpane unit, many of these happen to be sophisticated systems capable to be able to cool a much larger location. For homes, hotels malls, gyms along with other kinds of buildings many of these central air models happen to be for much larger places. A great amazing amount of cool air is produce due to be able to the actual large compressor inside the actual central air conditioner models.In a number of cases, proper surgery of the environment condition can be critical. Far too often, folks usually start their air conditioners with no double checking whether the particular outside of the particular device can be covered up. If it is actually then a cover need to be removed before to utilize. This really is considering when we turn the environment conditioner you when the particular covering remains, it will become impossible for the environment conditioner to be able to extract air from outside to create it inside. Additionally, this might influence a strain on the system that will lead to extra difficulties.Repairing your automobile is obviously a hassle, thus there are moreover a some techniques you really need to fully understand regarding that can help you earn certain the AC works effectively. Consistently ensure that the car is neat and dust free, particularly near the cabin. All of this can lead to mold and in addition spores, that may spoil the particular AC program. When you take the car for a automobile clean, you can open the particular hood and in addition spray drinking water found on the AC condenser, that will assist spread out the particular dust and in addition dirt. When parking the car, ensure you park in a shaded region thus the car is certainly not at a particular extremely very high temperature when you return. This is moreover important certainly not to put the particular AC level on maximum when driving fast, given that you'll not merely waste energy, and currently have a bad product. Lastly, you really need to do system maintenance a few instances a yr to change a bit of of the car components that are no longer working properly. All of this may be a small costly, nevertheless think of the larger picture! This might expense method much more to be able to fix a completely damaged part, then to be able to check up the car each year.

Office of University Communications & MarketingDr. Peter M. GigliottiExecutive director Old Main 302(717) email@example.com
Shippensburg University students are waiting for the results of a mathematics
competition to determine who is the best college coach in various sports. The
results will be announced in late April.
was represented by two teams of three students each during the recent Consortium
for Mathematics and its Applications' (COMAP) International Mathematical
Contest in Modeling. One team
included Jacob Evjene, Jennifer Flinchbaugh and Allen Koederitz and the other team
included Grant Innerst, Mary Long and Lindsey Schadler. Dr. Ben Galluzzo,
assistant professor of mathematics, was adviser to both teams.
contest, which last year attracted more than 5,600 teams worldwide, challenged
undergraduate students to clarify, analyze and propose solutions to one of two
open-ended problems over the 96-hour contest.
Each of the
SU teams chose a problem that asked them to create a mathematical ranking
scheme to identify the best college coaches (past or present) from among either
male or female coaches in such sports as college hockey, field hockey,
football, baseball, softball, basketball, or soccer. Students were then asked
to present their model's top five coaches in each of three different sports as
well as prepare a one- to two-page article for Sports Illustrated to provide a non-technical explanation of the
mathematical model.
"We are proud to have students that are
willing to challenge themselves," said Galluzzo.

Re: Actually, it's irrelevant for 90% of recorded music
The best setup I ever heard was an ambisonic array, 8 Kef 107 head units arranged in pairs; front, back, up and down and one very large sub woofer. The recordings were made on a Soundfield microphone in B format on 4 track reel to reel without any post processing. Ambisonics recreates sound pressures measured by a four capsule microphone time aligned to a single point to produce X, Y and Z direction and pressure W. Sadly not a very commercial proposition.

GAME REVIEW: 'Tropical Freeze' shows Donkey Kong is still game
For the last three decades, one of the video game world's greatest antiheroes has been a barrel-throwing ape. He's arrogant, ornery and not nearly as dexterous as he thinks he is. A kidnapper whose jungles were construction sites, he'd steal your girlfriend and trap her atop a skeletal steel structure.
But as males-behaving-badly became a pop-culture norm — and an unfortunate requirement of most video games — Donkey Kong softened up. The once attention-desperate gorilla shed his hostage-taking ways and settled into a more healthful lifestyle with the launch of "Donkey Kong Country" in 1994.
Now five iterations of the game later, he's morphed into a rather lovable grump who just wants to enjoy a slice of cake with a frosted banana on top in peace.
"Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze," released for Nintendo's home console the Wii U, finds the king of the jungle continuing the makeover from villain to reluctant hero. Arctic creatures are invading the lush isles he calls home, and Kong wants the polar beasts off his lawn.
Whereas Donkey Kong once tossed barrels at a portly, blue-collar adventurer — a character who would eventually become known as Mario and would help lead Nintendo into decades of video-game brand dominance — today he faces off against musically-inclined owls, penguins who are experts in archery (they shoot fish, not arrows) and Viking walruses (walrus Vikings?). He may make a mess of things along the way, but it's up to him to preserve paradise.
While Donkey Kong is jostled out of a vacation-like existence in "Tropical Freeze," the action-adventure he embarks upon is one readily recognizable to Nintendo fans and players, who guide the ape left-to-right and up-and-down through jungle-inspired mazes, where a barrel roll and a stomp take care of most adversaries.
It's worlds away from the cartoonish urban setting of the original "Donkey Kong," which was released in 1981 and predated the Nintendo Entertainment System. It catapulted games into the mainstream cultural conversation, creating a brave new world.
At the start of "Tropical Freeze," in contrast, a relaxed Donkey Kong is surrounded by pals and enjoying the island life. His birthday is interrupted by a chilly breeze and a snowflake, and a peek out the window reveals that a pack of cold-loving critters, the Snowmads, are threatening to make like Disney's Queen Elsa and give Kong's home an icy remodeling.
Whether Donkey Kong actually wants to prevent a cold front from encapsulating his kingdom or is just annoyed that his birthday was interrupted isn't always clear. After all, the Snowmads largely seem like they're having a good time and tiny, slow-moving penguins are no match for an angry ape (plus, they're far cuter than those mutant, bouncing mushrooms of the "Super Mario" series).
It's easy to be impressed by Kong's kingdom. Giant glowing mushrooms recall "Alice in Wonderland" and gorilla transportation includes mine cars, log flumes and a rhinoceros. Levels go underwater, careen into caverns and transform as the player moves through them, sometimes being shaped by a giant and deadly sphere of Gouda cheese. Casual gamers will likely kill hours trying to pass even some of the game's early challenges, but the tone is never less than sprightly, thanks in part to David Wise's jazzily upbeat and lightly Caribbean score.
Following relatively closely on the heels of the Wii U's "Super Mario 3D World," "Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze" is once again an example of Nintendo's prowess in the run, jump and smash genre of gaming. This isn't the re-imagining of the former, which saw Mario and Co. gaining the ability to essentially transform into cats and more freely roam the game world. Instead it's more a refinement of a style, requiring near-precise player reflexes to glide on vines, hop around fragile leafs and ride a mine cart on the wings of crashed safari jets.
Donkey Kong isn't always the most cooperative of video game characters. Set the controller down for a minute and Donkey Kong will start playing a hand-held video game system. His ultimate goal is relaxation, and the player is pushing and prodding him along like an overbearing personal trainer.
While Donkey Kong can climb up vines and powerfully roll through walls, he's still a gorilla and isn't exactly the most sure-footed of characters. Donkey Kong needs a second to slow down, a moment to catch his balance and friends to reach greater heights. This means he will die often.
Compared with the can-do Mario, there's always the sense that Donkey Kong may just nap if it weren't for the player. Donkey Kong's pals liven things up. There's an elder ape (Cranky Kong) who hops on a cane, and two younger boy/girl tag-alongs, Diddy and Dixie, who use a baseball cap (him) and a lock of blond hair (her) to propel Donkey Kong up into the jungles.
For those who want to get deep into Donkey Kong lore, Cranky Kong is said to be the aging version of the kidnapping ape seen in the original game.
Yet it's the spunky Dixie, whose hair whips around like helicopter blades as she balances on a spinning Donkey Kong, who delivers the energy and attitude. Maybe that's because her ponytail and pink beret give her some of the game's most exaggerated features, or maybe that's because female characters are still such a rarity that playing one can turn a familiar genre, even a well-made one, into a whole new game.

Visiting professor offers insight into contemporary Japanese architecture
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Architecture can encourage people to look forward and back, and several contemporary Japanese architects combine the best of the two approaches. A visiting professor who writes about the art and the craft of Japanese architecture will give two free public lectures from her vantage point this spring at the University of Louisville.
Dana Buntrock, associate professor of architecture at University of California-Berkeley, will spend the semester as the Frederic Lindley Morgan visiting professor of architectural design in UofL's fine arts department. She will teach "Contemporary Architecture in Japan and the United States."
Her free, public talks will begin at 6 p.m. in Speed Art Museum, 2035 S. Third St., next to UofL's Belknap Campus. UofL's fine arts department sponsors the Frederic Lindley Morgan architectural history lectures, named for the late Louisville building designer.
Buntrock's talks will be:
Jan. 28 — "Tradition and Today: Materials and Meaning in Contemporary Japanese Architecture." She is expected to talk about stories from her book of that title and show several modern architects' works that are little known in the West. She will discuss how some Japanese structures are modern and spare metal and glass buildings, while others reflect age and religious roots.
April 15 — "Four Small Structures Bursting With Big Ideas: SUMIKA." In this talk Buntrock will discuss an architectural exhibition involving four architects building four structures together in 2007 in Utsunomiya north of Tokyo. She will talk about the architecture as well as the nature of Japan's generations and their differing approaches to construction.
Buntrock's books include "Tradition and Today: Materials and Meaning in Contemporary Japanese Architecture" and "Japanese Architecture as a Collaborative Process: Opportunities in a Flexible Construction Culture." Buntrock has taught in Japan and Australia as well as the United States. A registered architect in Alaska, she has worked professionally in U.S. and Japanese offices.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Doses of a neurotransmitter might offer a way to boost the effectiveness of anticancer drugs and radiation therapy, according to a new study led by researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute.
Using animal models of human breast and prostate cancers, the researchers found that injections of the neurotransmitter dopamine can improve blood flow to tumors and improve delivery of an anticancer drug, doubling the drug's concentration in tumors and increasing its effectiveness. The increased blood flow also raised tumor oxygen levels, a condition that typically improves the effectiveness of both chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
The study also found that dopamine plays an important role in maintaining the structure of normal blood vessels, and that it does this by working through the D2 dopamine receptor, which is present in normal blood-vessel cells called endothelial cells and pericytes. Dopamine was absent in tumor blood-vessel cells.
The findings are published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"Our study indicates a use for dopamine in the treatment of cancer and perhaps other disorders in which normalizing abnormal and dysfunctional blood vessels might improve therapeutic responses," says Dr. Sujit Basu, associate professor of pathology and a researcher in the OSUCCC James Experimental Therapeutics Program.
"Since dopamine and related agents are already used in the clinic for other disorders, these comparatively inexpensive drugs might be applied to the treatment of cancer to increase the therapeutic responses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy," he says.
The blood vessels that develop inside tumors are structurally abnormal, chaotic and leaky and do a poor job of supplying blood to the tumor, Basu notes. This hinders the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents, a

Hi-tech manufacturers 'could hire umbrella contractors'
A hi-tech manufacturing boom could create additional demand for PAYE umbrella company contractors in 2011, it has been suggested.
According to research conducted by General Electric, 71 per cent of such companies are confident their performance will improve over the next 12 months, reports the Independent.
This is despite a quarter of those interviewed having already posted double-digit growth in 2010 – meaning some firms could be set for a bumper year.
The study revealed that 48 per cent of hi-tech respondents are planning on increasing their headcounts over the next 12 months.
According to General Electric, the average firm will increase staff numbers by 5.7 per cent, meaning new freelancer roles could potentially be created.
Mark Elborne, chief executive of GE in the UK, said hi-tech manufacturers were "much more confident" than many other businesses.
He told the news provider: "[Our research] shows a vibrant and positive sector that can help revitalise the UK economy over the next few years."
The latest Report on Jobs, from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation, pointed to an increase in temporary job appointments during December 2010.

The 6000, 6300, 8000 & 8400 Groundsmajor Rollermowers easily connect to the tractors three point linkage and roll over the ground following the earth's contours independently of the tractor. The blade system is enclosed within an aerofoil chamber and cut material is recycled and distributed evenly in the wake of the machine. The finish is a professional stripe which is favoured by grounds maintenance keepers. A simple spanner adjustment sets and locks the cutting height of the machine by raising or lowering the rollers. The cutting range available is from 12mm to 150mm.

Test Report
To prove that Major 8400GR-T Roller Mower gives the same high-quality cut regardless of machine width, it also lent us an 8ft version.
The 8400GR-T is a trailed unit similar to the 4200 but with four rotors instead of two and fitted with a wheel kit on the back to raise the machine for transport.
In the working position, the wheels are raised to leave the mower running on the rollers and cutting in the same way and to the same high standard as the smaller 4200.
Again, it is happy at around 6mph, but the extra width of cut makes the job quicker. This one, and its big brothers at 12ft and 18ft, should be at home cutting larger areas for a living. Try it on sports pitches, golf courses, racecourses and even airports.
Being gear-driven, and with all the gearboxes in a straight line, the effective cutting width of the 8400GR-T is at maximum. There is no staggering of the rotors. And, being only as wide and as deep as the diameter of its rotors, the mower follows contours well. A wide-angled PTO shaft is supplied as standard for tight turning.
"I am really surprised how tight it will turn," says Gardner. "And like before, it is handy being able to cut in reverse. Quality of cut is very good."
A fixed, rigid blade is available for close cutting of level surfaces such as cricket outfields. Major's machinery is supported by a full parts back-up service across the UK by overnight delivery for orders placed by 3pm.

Need to cut grass fast? You could opt for a ride-on mower and, if the area to be cut is large, go for a batwing. You will be spending £20k, £30k, perhaps more.
What if you have a tractor? There are so many mowers for use on the back, front and middle of a tractor that it is hard to know where to start. Perhaps you want the quality cut of a cylinder mower. Gangs "zinging" up and down sports fields were once the norm. Now, with purse-holders looking at every penny, you are just as likely to see a low-maintenance rotary or even flail collector doing the job.
In this review, we look at three rotary mowers - each reputedly leaving a high-quality finish. We also inspect a flail collector to see whether it is worthwhile removing the clippings. In this instance, the flail mower offers more than just grass cutting.
The test took place at the Cannington Land-based Studies Centre of Bridgwater College in Somerset. Conditions on the day were dry and sunny but the grass had been left to grow prior to the test. Long and dense, the grass was also lush when the mowers arrived.

LG has just launched the smallest Qi wireless charging adapter in the world, called WCP-300. It is smaller than even a tea cup.
It works with the company's own Optimus G Pro, Vu II and LTE II smartphones, but will serve well any other gadgets that can wirelessly recharge, like the Google Nexus 4.
Sales, in South Korea at least, will begin this week for 65,000 won (roughly $60 / 46 Euro).
Other countries will receive it over time, but no clear roadmap has been revealed as of yet.

Not in Ohio.This thread seems to have (appropriately) been split up. But I'd like to know just how many states allow spirits to be sold in stores such as Wal-Mart, drug stores, etc. I've spent some time in places with "state stores," but mostly in states with what I consider the "normal" arrangement; private liquor stores as the only place to get spirits, with beer and wine available in grocery and convenience stores.
Just how many places (in the US) can Wal-Mart sell its house brand?

Rob Samouce: Associations can now collect rent from tenant when owner is delinquent in assessments
The Legislature passed a large bill this year affecting community associations that became effective July 1, 2010.
Chapter 2010-174, also referred to as Senate Bill Nos. 1196 and 1222, is the first big piece of legislation pertaining to laws concerning condominiums, cooperatives and homeowners associations (all being: community associations) that has passed the legislature and has not been vetoed by the governor in quite a few years.
One of best provisions in the new legislation should be very helpful to associations while there are still so many foreclosures and owners not paying their association assessments. When one or more owners fail to pay their assessments, all the other owners suffer as they have to cover the amounts not paid by the deadbeat owners.
The new provisions allow the associations to collect the rent from units whose owners have not paid their assessments. Lots of owners, who get upside down in their mortgage, will quit paying their mortgage, quit paying their association assessments, and put renters in their units in default and collect the rent free and clear of their other obligations.
Many banks are slow to standing still in completing their foreclosures as they do not want to have to own the units until they can find buyers as they will have to pay insurance and association assessments until a buyer is found.
Every month goes by with the owners collecting more rent and the associations receive less and less assessments because of the deadbeat owners. The association's bills do not likewise get less and less so this puts a hardship on the association to cover the bills resulting in higher assessments for the paying owners.
What the new laws says is that community associations can now follow a procedure to collect the rent. It provides that:
"If the unit is occupied by a tenant and the unit owner is delinquent in paying any monetary obligation due to the association, the association may make a written demand that the tenant pays the future monetary obligations related to the condominium unit to the association, and the tenant must make such payment. The demand is continuing in nature and, upon demand, the tenant must pay the monetary obligations to the association until the association releases the tenant or the tenant discontinues tenancy in the unit. The association must mail written notice to the unit owner of the association's demand that the tenant make payments to the association. The association shall, upon request, provide the tenant with written receipts for payments made. A tenant, who acts in good faith in response to a written demand from an association, is immune from any claim from the unit owner.
(a) If the tenant prepaid rent to the unit owner before receiving the demand from the association and provides written evidence of paying the rent to the association within 14 days after receiving the demand, the tenant shall receive credit for the prepaid rent for the applicable period and must make any subsequent rental payments to the association to be credited against the monetary obligations of the unit owner to the association.
(b) The tenant is not liable for increases in the amount of the monetary obligations due unless the tenant was notified in writing of the increase at least 10 days before the date the rent is due. The liability of the tenant may not exceed the amount due from the tenant to the tenant's landlord. The tenant's landlord shall provide the tenant a credit against rents due to the unit owner in the amount of monies paid to the association under this section.
(c) The association may issue notices under s. 83.56 and may sue for eviction under ss. 83.59-83.625 as if the association were a landlord under part II of chapter 83 if the tenant fails to pay a required payment to the association. However, the association is not otherwise considered a landlord under Chapter 83 and specifically has no duties under s. 83.51.
(d) The tenant does not, by virtue of payment of monetary obligations to the association, have any of the rights of a unit owner to vote in any election or to examine the books and records of the association.
(e) A court may supersede the effect of this subsection by appointing a receiver."
So, if your association has renters in units or homes with assessment deadbeat owners, get the proper notice out to the tenant and owner as soon as possible and start collecting the rent to help cover the assessment shortfall. We will look at some of the other new provisions in Chapter 2010-174 in next month's article.

Latin Beat: Brazilian Cosmetics Exports on Top
By: Cristina Kroll
Posted: November 14, 2008, from the November 2008 issue of GCI Magazine.
Beiersdorf Argentina's "Nivea Music Truck" event was designed to boost brand recognition by teenagers in Buenos Aires.
page 3 of 3
Hypermarcas, one of the largest Brazilian consumer goods companies, announced the acquisition of Niasi, a traditional Brazilian cosmetics manufacturer and marketer that holds a leading position in the hair care, nail polish and perfume sectors. Hypermarcas will pay more than $188 million to purchase Niasi. With this move, Hypermarcas enters the hair coloring and nail polish market and strengthens its cosmetics line.
Hypermarcas is currently active in hygiene and cleaning, beauty and personal care, food, and OTC products. Niasi has been one of the largest cosmetics corporations in Brazil, manufacturing and commercializing approximately 150 million units across 70 items—including the brands Risqué (nail care) and Biocolor, a hair coloring product. In 2007, Niasi reported more than $112 million in net revenues.
Natura Promotes Art and the Environment
Brazilian direct seller Natura organized an art exhibition featuring designs made of recyclable waste on September 11 in Argentina's Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires (MALBA). Architecture and design students created masks, ornaments, tables and other objects, under the direction of artists Alejandro Sarmiento and Luján Cambariere. Titled "The Celebration," the event marked the third consecutive year that Natura has invited the community to experiment and reflect on environmental care. In this way, the company helps promote its environmental initiatives. The 2007 theme, which centered around toys created from refuse, have now reached The Museum of Modern Art in New York and museums in Tokyo.

Alfred Morris' famous old car won't be looking old for much longer. The 1991 Mazda 626 the Redskins' Pro Bowl running back drove last season as a rookie is scheduled for a makeover.
Apparently grateful to Morris for all the attention he brought to the car maker by driving the silver hooptie throughout his breakout 1,613-yard season, Mazda will restore his car to factory condition, Morris told CBSSports.com from the Redskins' training camp in Richmond, Va.
Mazda reached out to his people, Morris said, and offered to work the car up inside and out and under the hood, including fine-tuning the engine and transmission. The whole job would take six to eight weeks, he was told.
"It's not 'Pimp My Ride' or anything," Morris told CBSSports.com. "No big rims or fish tanks in the back." However, he might get a handful of updates for the 22-year-old car he nicknamed "Bentley." "Like a navigation system or something maybe," he said.
Morris and Mazda have gotten a lot of mileage out of "Bentley," literally and figuratively. He had bought it from his pastor while at Florida Atlantic University, drove it to the D.C. area after the Redskins signed him last April. His allegiance to the car has earned attention—and ride-alongs by local and national TV reporters—ever since. As of midseason last year, the odometer read 124,000, according to the Washington Post.
However, Bentley appeared to be on its last legs (wheels?) late last season. Morris told the Post it would not start when he returned from the Thanksgiving Day win in Dallas, and once it was jump-started, he decided to rest it over the winter and promised to drive it again when the weather warmed up.
"Loyalty is rare nowadays, so it's something I take pride in," Morris told the Post.

Navigable Waters Definition Murky After New Decisions
Revised guidance documents and decisions last week by the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have added more fuel to a long-standing debate among regulators, advocacy groups and builders and developers over Clean Water Act jurisdiction.
On Dec. 1, denying a petition to review a Clean Water Act case in United States v. McWane, the nations highest court sent a strong signal that it wants to leave jurisdictional questions to the regulators.
Responding to the Supreme Courts 2006 Rapanos ruling that left unanswered the question of what constitutes a traditional navigable water, on Dec. 2 the EPA and the Corps repeated an earlier declaration that they generally will not assert Clean Water Act jurisdiction over upland roadside drainage ditches or certain desert washes with infrequent water flow.
But on the following day, Dec. 3, the EPA declared that certain reaches of the Santa Cruz River in Tucson, Ariz. are traditional navigable waters even though historical records indicate that the river has never been used for boating or shipping.
As a result, the Obama Administration will have to decide how to implement the newly expanded and still inconclusive guidance document and what to do about the agencies broader definitions of jurisdiction. Until then, jurisdictional decisions are likely to remain in turmoil.
What we have said all along holds true, said NAHB Chairman Sandy Dunn. There is a world of difference between regulating the Mississippi River and claiming jurisdiction over what amounts to a drainage ditch or irrigation pond. The first makes sense. The latter is overreaching something that Congress never intended when it passed the Clean Water Act in 1972.
However, the decision in Arizona indicates that the agencies appear to adhere to a much broader definition of waters that should be considered navigable in the traditional sense, said NAHB Staff Vice President for Litigation Duane Desiderio.
This confusion means that we can expect to see more litigation in the federal courts, he added. "We all agree that the Clean Water Act covers more than just traditional navigable waters. But there's a major problem when the federal agencies consider isolated ponds, or creeks that are wet only from storms, as water bodies that have been subject to traditional federal control for hundreds of years."
The guidance is important to the home building industry because it shapes how builders and developers determine whether they must obtain permits to start construction projects in protected areas.
If a piece of property near a river or wetland is declared jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act, it is subject to a long, confusing and often arbitrary ordeal of paperwork and inspections before construction can begin; sometimes this process has little correlation to the environmental value of the resources that are intended to be protected.
The more you can give definition to the term navigable, the more people can understand what it means, said Susan Asmus, NAHB staff vice president for regulatory affairs. But when the new guidance defines navigable as susceptible to navigation or adjacent as reasonably close proximity, it doesnt quite get us there.
Rather than issuing confusing guidance which only leads to confusion over what is jurisdictional, resulting in lawsuits from the regulated community or from conservation groups, EPA should promulgate a ruling that makes it clear to all parties, she said.
The challenge with the Clean Water Act is that it has never been implemented in the way it was designed to be implemented. Instead, its been directed by lawsuits, and that is not the way the best laws are implemented, Asmus said.
The Supreme Court makes a ruling, the agencies interpret it and then everyone disagrees, and youre off on a bad foot and its really hard to back up and start over, she said. NAHB believes that the EPA and the Corps should do a rulemaking. Its a better way to make lasting policy.

Happy New Year? LME Warehouse Challenges Continue
Unfortunately, from the perspectives of supply chain security and anomalous market premiums, 2013 has begun even less favorably than last year. London Metal Exchange (LME) stocks are now at the highest level in history whilst Regional Market Premiums are too. The LME announced some adjustments to its warehouse minimum load out rates late last year but steered clear of aluminum. The consumer segment of the industry had hoped for a change in approach from the LME following its takeover by the Hong Kong Exchange (HKE) but I'm doubtful that anything will change. If you are new to this controversial matter, Jack Farchy from Financial Times helped explain the aluminum warehouse issue in 2011.
I picked up the news items below recently. The first relates to Bob Kickham of Luvata who is the first person/company that I have seen publicly protesting the situation since we started speaking out in 2011. It is coincidental that on the same day, I also picked up an article (below) by the insightful Andrea Hotter saying "put up or shut up." One thing that I am sure will not happen this year is that consumers will "shut up!"
An excerpt from the Metal Bulletin article featuring Luvata, "LME warehouse system still broken- Luvata's Kickham":
The London Metal Exchange's warehousing system is still broken, despite efforts to fix delays in accessing metal, Bob Kickham, Luvata's senior vice president of procurement, told Metal Bulletin in an interview. Luvata has tried to get metal out of LME-approved warehouses in Johor, but was told that it had to wait three months as a result of the queues.
"We can't be in a position where we seek to get materials out of warehouses and three months later we might get it," Bob Kickham said. Luvata was forced to use an alternative route to get metal – buying it in the market. Kickham stated that the company has made its views on warehousing known at meetings of the LME copper committee, on which it is represented. "We are big supporters of the LME in general and have a good relationship with them; that's why we feel confident in making this statement," He also stated, "We can't have queues like they are at the moment – we want to be able to get material out of the warehouses in a practical time frame. We want a warehouse system that works, and at the moment it doesn't."
And from Andrea Hotter's Metal Bulletin article, "Warehouse Wars: Put up or shut up":
It is the best possible time for those who feel they have a gripe, against anything whatsoever related to the LME, to take action – the new exchange owner, Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing (HKEx), is listening. HKEx ceo Charles Li says he will take a bazooka to the problem if he has proof that warehouse queues are being deliberately created. He also says that despite the industry's negative focus on warehousing, nobody has yet articulated a problem that suggests the system is broken.
My personal challenge to the industry is to stop whining and do something about it. Man up, in other words. If you are so sure that warehouse firms are breaking LME rules, then . . . prove it. Otherwise change the record, let the warehouse firms to do what they do, and get on with your daily business.

This is from the site's source code:
"Surface is the first commercially available surface computer from Microsoft Corp. It turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant, interactive surface. The product provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. In essence, it's a surface that comes to life for exploring, learning, sharing, creating, buying and much more. Soon to be available in restaurants, hotels, retail and public entertainment venues, this experience will transform the way people shop, dine, entertain and live."
And yeah, I know there'll be some critque out there...seeing as Surface is only coming out in the winter of 2007 and won't be (initially) available to the public...but still - it's a cool idea.
