Publicly traded companies are reminded of the approaching deadline for compliance with certain of the SEC-approved final amendments of the NYSE and Nasdaq stock exchange listing rules governing compensation committee independence: By July 1, 2013, compensation committees must have the authority to retain and pay outside consultants, legal counsel and other advisers and the responsibility to consider certain independence factors before selecting such advisers.
NYSE companies will be required to include these authorities and responsibilities in their compensation committee charter by the July 1 deadline; however, Nasdaq companies may grant this authority by charter, resolution or other board action (subject to state corporate law) until the earlier of their first annual meeting after January 15, 2014 and October 31, 2014, when a formal compensation committee charter setting forth such authorities and responsibilities will first be required.
For a summary of and guidance on the Final Listed Company Rules as approved by the SEC, please refer to our Special Report, SEC Approves NYSE and NASDAQ Revised Listing Rules Regarding the Independence of Compensation Committees and Their Advisers dated March 2013 (http://www.proskauer.com/en-US/publications/newsletters/special-report-sec-approves-nyse-and-nasdaq-revised-listing-rules/).
Under the amended stock exchange listing rules, a compensation committee may retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, outside legal counsel or other adviser; is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser retained by the compensation committee; and must be provided appropriate funding, as determined by the compensation committee, for payment of reasonable compensation to such advisers. However, before a listed company's compensation committee may retain such advisers or obtain their advice, it must consider the following six independence factors:
Nasdaq's final rules require compensation committees to consider only these six factors prior to selecting advisers. By contrast, NYSE's rules require that compensation committees take into consideration these six factors as well as "all factors relevant to that person's independence from management."
In any case, compensation consultants, outside legal counsel and other advisers are not required to satisfy the "independence" criteria; the adviser independence rules only require that the compensation committee consider independence of their advisers before retaining or receiving advice from them.
Notably, the Compensation committee adviser independence assessment does not have to be conducted with respect to:
SEC staffers have indicated that with respect to the determination of what it means to "provide advice" to the compensation committee, a facts and circumstances test applies. Nevertheless, particularly because of the potential broad scope of what "providing advice" means, at the outset of retaining and seeking advice from outside counsel, consultants and other advisers whose advice might be provided directly to, or otherwise influence the advice given to, the compensation committee, we recommend that in-house legal counsel solicit the requisite information necessary to enable the compensation committee to assess the independence of any outside counsel or other advisers before any such advice is provided to the compensation committee.

Information is the lifeblood of businesses today. As the volume of data continues to grow exponentially, intelligent governance of information is essential for enterprises to survive and thrive. Data security concerns, privacy, compliance requirements and the costs of ediscovery all militate toward implementation of policies and procedures to effectively and efficiently manage information. In addition, the ability to utilize analytics and mine valuable information from large data sets has transformed data into an essential business intelligence resource. Amazon, for example, is well known for its success in using its own data to target advertising to customers based on their past purchases and purchases of similar customers, and to improve customer service operations.
But what is Information Governance? Information Governance establishes a consistent and logical framework for employees to handle data. It should create a high-level policy focused on enterprise-wide strategic and business goals. The process of developing an Information Governance policy should include all relevant stakeholders and take into account the enterprise's organization and culture, legal/regulatory concerns, business operations, and technology. The policy must address the enterprise's particular data challenges, such as retention of personal health information or managing streaming data from social media.
While recognizing the inherent value in some of the information being created and collected, an Information Governance policy must recognize that most data likely has no business value. Development and implementation of a solid defensible deletion plan therefore is a crucial component of Information Governance. Keeping everything simply doesn't make sense, but deletion must be guided by legal considerations, such as the effect of legal holds, regulatory and compliance requirements and business concerns. In light of these high-stake considerations, the cost of keeping too or deleting too much information cannot be ignored.
The Information Governance policy also must address how retained information is managed. Redundancies should be eliminated as much as possible, and classification and organizational systems should be devised so that information can be easily and quickly retrieved.
It is essential for modern enterprises to get their data house in order to reduce costs and liabilities while also exploiting the benefits information now offers. Implementation of a solid Information Governance plan should be a high priority for all enterprises looking to thrive and succeed in today's big data environment.

The goal of this approach is to watch the leukemia closely to see if it progresses or starts to cause any symptoms. If it does not, it may be better to wait to begin any type of treatment, particularly those that cause severe side effects. Research has proved that watchful waiting doesn't cause harm, compared with immediate treatment for early stage CLL.
Your doctor may recommend watchful waiting in the following situations:
You have stage 0 CLL.
You have stage I CLL with few or no symptoms.
You have stage II CLL with few or no symptoms.
Your doctor will monitor your disease to see if it gets worse or if you begin to develop symptoms that require treatment. Your doctor will watch for recurring infections and rapid swelling in certain organs, such as your lymph nodes, liver, or spleen. These changes may mean that the disease is getting worse or progressing. You will need to have your blood drawn on a regular basis to check your blood cell counts. Your doctor may do this every few weeks to every few months.
CLL usually progresses much more slowly than acute types of leukemia, so you can potentially live with the disease for quite a while without any problems. Watch for these symptoms:
Night sweats
Unexplained weight loss
Increased fatigue
Enlarged lymph nodes
If you start having symptoms or if your doctor sees signs that the disease is progressing, you will undergo a treatment or series of treatments. The type of treatment you have depends on the stage of your CLL.

The KK is the original new-kid-on-the-block which kicked the expensive MikroKopter off the anthill and set the standard for a people's-copter. The KK muliticopter 5.5 board/CPU is now a well advanced product for Remote Control RC Hovering, Acro, home movie making and FPV flying in Australia. now Shipping worldwide. This is our RC PILOT'S board - and does not require any soldering - so It's perfect for a first-time-multiCopter experience without first getting a Degree in microchip programming or soldering!
The KK 5.5 blackboard can be used to fly these multiCopters
•KK PowerTower/Osprey (2 rotors) as per Avatar Gunship
•KK TriCopters (3 rotors) - cheaper to build - less motors and ESCs - uses one servo
•KK QuadroCopters (4 rotors) either Quad+ or QuadX - The most popular - no servos
•KK SexyCopters (6 rotors) also known as a HEX - more grunt to lift a payload - expensive with 6 engines and 6 ESC's. Multi engine Redundant - one engine failure does not effect control.
•KK Y6 (with 6 rotors) also known as a Y6 (3xpairs of counter rotating prop sets.) Can shoot photos without the props in the shot. Multi engine Redundant - one engine failure does not effect control.
The board takes a pilot commands from the Rx , sends all that PPM RC stuff to the Atmega168 microchip, it reads the MURATA gyro info, then controls/commands the brushless motors (Via the M1 to M6 pins on the board) to speed up or slow down ( backwards, forwards, left, right, yaw). It almost hovers itself - OK you have to do something... Then on the command from the RC Pilot does what you say. No servos - no gears - OK well In the case of a Tricopter, one of the pin connectors (M4) will control a servo to achieve yaw authority.
Why KK?
•Stable hovering - much easier than an RC Hellcopter - only requires a basic transmitter on aeroplane mode
•Twice the flying time of any RC electric helicopter if configured correctly. Less friction. See the photos on this site home Pg for a guide to accepted rotor spacing and light-weight construction. Smaller LiPos with higher C rating give longer flights - Heavy LiPo's exceed disc loading and the props will struggle. Larger props with a low pitch value move more-air slowly - high pitch props are less efficient because they generate unwanted annular ring vortexes.
•Multicopters are very hardy and crash worthy especially for Noobs - unlike a RC Helicopter only the prop on the impact side is effected - no gears are used. It's recommend to learn to fly a simulator in Heli mode to become orientated to reverse and side-on orientation.
•The KK board is an excellent ARF board with over a 1000 sold world wide and a huge support community at the Official KK site and on the forum at RCG.
•The KK 5.5 control board is Targeted at RC enthusiasts who don't want to solder anything.
Why choose US? We can Preloaded the XX software.
amazing but true - we can preload the XX flight software for you and actually test run your board! So if If your not into chip level AVR programming and fuse settings - no worries - it's done. all you will have to do is make your frame and FOAM TAPE mount the 5.5 board in the correct orientation - arrow facing the front - then 1) Setup your Tx NORM/REV 2) Calibrate your gyros so they are multi-engine synchronised (the KK board has a procedure for this) 3) check the gyro orientation and change it if necessary - ie Any down-going engine should increase RPM. 4)Learn to Arm it or disarm it - The Tx stick is moved to THRO off and full right rudder to arm etc.. 5) Then install the Props (balance them on a magnetic balancer first) and Fly
The v.5.5 has the Atmega168 AU20 chip on board and an ISP header to load the software with a USB->ISP 6 pin
•Now with the new Murata® Gyrostar™ Gyros x 3
•Now with smaller caps - All caps, except C5 C6, C7 and C8 are now ceramic 0.1 uF
•Slot mounted Yaw gyro - stronger than side mount - (recommended you add thin cyno for extra protection)
•Atmega168-AU20 - More memory so you can use a USB->ISP 6pin board to change your chip software to the XXcontroller soft by to KK or Mike Barton, XX Minsoo and others. If you want to.
•Cool BLACK soldermask to match your black car :).
•Small - only 50mm square - easy to mount - Face the Arrow forwards - Use double sided adhesive FOAM tape to mount the board - Gyros are delcate sensors and even though the Murata piezo gyros are resistant to vibration - you will get a much better more craft with FOAM tape to isolate the gyros from airframe vibs.
•Keep more than 30m from persons,choose an empty sports field for your first flights
•Do not fly near pets, houses or cars
•Never fly within 3nm of an airfield or above 400ft;
•Never install your props until after the Multicopter is fully tested and 100% correct without props. Engines can start suddenly and without warning IF YOU FAIL to understand how they work or skip any steps.
•Always keep your Copter in line of sight - FPV is only legal in AU with a buddy on a buddybox - See CASA Part 101 Regs
•RC Flying is a privilege - please enjoy it. Don't show off and don't get over confident

The perfect soil is important for successful growing
I have never liked the word "dirt." Gardeners know that "dirt" is soil out of place. Dirt is bad; soil is good. Without soil and its good buddies water and air we would not be here, and this is the best time of year to play in the soil.
Spring is great with the promise of new growth and blossoms, but fall is the time here in our beautiful South to prepare our yards. I am as Goldilocks: The weather can't be too hot, too cold or too wet for me to work in the yard. It must be just right. Consequently, my poor garden has been neglected during hot, dry summer. But no more.
Now is the time to start, and the starting place is the soil. There are two things, texture and fertility, you have to consider and provide to be successful in your growing.
There are four textures for soil. The first is sand, which has the largest particles It feels gritty and the particles create spaces where air and water can move. It also drains the most rapidly.
The second is silt. Silt particles are so soft they feel like cornstarch. It slows the water's movement.
After that, the smallest of all is clay (as in our rich Piedmont clay) and the minute particles stick together. That soil feels sticky when you hold it, and the particles are so small it retains water, meaning poor drainage and air circulation. Clay soil should not be dug either wet or too dry. Use a spading fork, not a shovel.
The fourth texture is peat, bog or muck, a project from wet and decaying roots. This is a highly acid material.
The desirable texture, and the one you must usually work to create, is loam. It is a combination of sand, silt and clay mixed with organic materials that provide bacteria or organisms or microorganisms to create a loose, crumbly or friable soil. It is easy to dig. Black or brown soil is usually rich in organic material.
Then there is the fertility concern, determined by the pH scale. This scale was developed in 1909 by a Danish chemist, Soren Peter Lauritz, who gave us the term "pH" with the "p" for pantez, meaning "power" in Danish, and the "h" for hydrogen. The scale is from one to 14. In the middle is seven, which is the same as pure water. Soil registering below seven indicates acid soil, and soil registering above seven indicates alkaline soil. The many not make a difference to you, but it makes a lot of difference to certain plants.
Soil needs nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, and less amounts of calcium, magnesium, sulfur, etc. You can't determine a soil's pH by tasting, feeling or smelling. You need a soil sample to be tested for you, courtesy of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Extension Service office in your county. Call them, and a very pleasant person will tell you what to do.
Your garden soil, whether for flowers, shrubs, herbs or vegetable, needs to be tilled regularly. Get your soil in good condition this fall, then you can enjoy planting the beautiful bulbs, perennials and shrubs in your garden.
Now is the time!

Hi guys, I've been at target now since October and I feel like my mind is yet to catch up with my body. I do see the difference but I only really go 'wow' when I see photos of myself. Still though, I get so worried I will put the weight back on and still find it hard to let go. I'm at target but I'm still not happy with my body, I see my friends who weigh more than me but I still think they look slimmer than I do. How long will it take for me to finally be happy with my body?! Can some target members please give me some advice. Also, do you still stick to plan, and how often do you go over syns?

The case against a man accused of breaking into a home, beating two people, and killing one of them during a burglary went back in front of a judge Wednesday.
Police say Gary Stone broke into a home at the Fair Trial Farm on the Fayette-Bourbon County line, earlier this year and assaulted Bartner Mastin and his sister-in-law, Pauline Mastin. Pauline Mastin died.
Stone appeared before a Bourbon County Judge Wednesday morning as police detectives testified about what they found at the crime scene.
Gary Stone is charged with Pauline Mastin's murder last January.
Stone is currently being held in the Jessamine County Detention Center on gun charges.

Hi everybody, thanks for still being interested in this mod.
To be honest: this Mod was finished in Spring 2007, but since we "borrowed" some models from DoD:Source, we decided not to publish this mod, until we replaced those models with free ones.
But as life went on, we somehow didnt have enough time to do so. So, if I EVER will have enough time to replace those models, I will try to do this.
If YOU are a decent modeller, do not hesitate to contact me and get you own hands on this mod.
The Adventure-Engine works quite well and is really a nice Gaming-Experience, so lets hope, we can finish this one sometime.

Vladimir Gilyarovsky's classic portrait of the Russian capital is one of Russians' most beloved books. Yet it has never before been translated into English. Until now!
"Gilyarovsky's self-described 'chronicle' is a spectacular verbal pastiche: conversation, from gutter gibberish to the drawing room; oratory, from illiterates to aristocrats; prose, from boilerplate to Tolstoy; poetry, from earthy humor to Pushkin." – From the Translator's Introduction
First published in 1926, this work has been translated into English for the first time and it positively teems with rich descriptions and vivid anecdotes:
from the depths of Moscow's sewers
to the murky back rooms of its gambling dens...
from the steam-filled halls of banyas
to the dining rooms of posh restaurants and taverns...
from the lives of students and waiters
to the struggles of market traders and heroic firemen...
Gilyarovsky documents pre-Soviet life in the Russian capital like no work before or since, and this first-ever English translation includes 88 historical images, locator maps, an index, nearly 300 useful footnotes, and a Russian language appendix of all poems and songs translated in the book.
Buy as an ebook direct from us
or via Amazon:
"Gilyarovsky burst in like a whirlwind in and told me had made your acquaintance. He praised you no end. I have known him for almost 20 years; we started our careers together in Moscow and I have had plenty of opportunities to see him in action. There is something of the Nozdrev character in him – unsettled and boisterous, yet this is an unaffected man with a pure heart, completely lacking in the sort of deceit so common in members of the press. He is constantly telling funny stories, carries a watch with an indecent picture on the face and, when he is at his best, does card tricks."
– Anton Chekhov, to Maxim Gorky
"Vladimir Alexeyevich was a newspaper reporter, just a reporter! But it is difficult to find words to express how high he held the banner of literature in such a modest role. When I remember how conscientious he was, flying off in the middle of the night to the printers in order to correct a tiny mistake in a ten-line piece, how inventive he was in order to get at the truth, how he disguised himself as a trader or a swindler, how he made the rounds of the villages and taverns… when I remember his ever cheerful, warm tone, his complete attention to all things that ennobled the newspaper… when I recall his stocky, healthy figure at all those meetings, exuding honesty, courage and selflessness… then I feel there will never again be such an example of a reporter…"
– Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko
"Dear Uncle Gilya, my literary and gymnastically godfather, I could sooner imagine Moscow without Ivan's Bell Tower or the Tsar's Cannon than without you. You are the hub of Moscow."
– Your unruly son, Alexander Kuprin
"Combining a Dickensian eye with the racy style of a tabloid journalist, plus a dash of Zola-esque naturalism, Gilyarovsky offered in Moscow and Muscovites an entertaining, if exhausting, panorama of our city at the turn of the century."
– Anya von Bremzen, Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking
"...this amazing and overlooked book is an important addition to any bookshelf... Here, in vivid architectural and cultural detail, is a loving, yet honest depiction of pre-revolutionary Moscow... Gilyarovsky is great because he gets into the down and dirty – slums, decadent nightclubs and banquets – without judging; actually, he's there having a good time... the prose is fine enough that I devoured this like candy. Thanks much to the translator for this selfless labor."
– Jacob Dreyer (on Amazon)

Story and Photography By Steve Cox
We've just confirmed from a source close to the team that Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Blake Baggett has broken his foot during pre-season Supercross practice and testing. At this time, it's too early to tell if he'll be on the line come round one of the 250cc Eastern Regional SX Championship in Dallas (Arlington) on February 15.
This injury comes just as Baggett was getting back up to speed after taking some time off to heal further from the wrist injury he raced with throughout 2013.

French rider Sebastien Tortelli, fresh off his victory in the 250cc class at the Motocross des Nations, won the Fastcross International, held in Italy yesterday.
Tortelli led home fellow Honda riders Mike LaRocco and Ryan Hughes. Jeremy McGrath, meanwhile, made his return to racing after a four-month layoff and finished fourth, just ahead of New Zealand's Josh Coppins.
While Tortelli was in awesome form it was also the results of World 125cc Motocross Champion Grant Langston that caught the attention of the 30,000 crowd.
Langston led home McGrath in the semi-final, then backed that up by beating the Supercross legend again in a Dash for Cash race. Langston eventually crashed out of the Final after holding a mid-field position.
For Tortelli it was a great win in very humid conditions.
"It's great to win here," Tortelli said. "This place is very important in European motocross history. Many good riders have won here; I'm very happy with this result."
As for McGrath, he wasn't too worried about missing out on the podium.
"I knew coming in that I would be off the pace,"McGrath said. "It doesn't matter; I'll be ready in a few weeks, when the World Supercross Championships begin. I know none of these guy can race with me when I'm fit."

Star Tell Me Pastor
My wife says I am too small for her
Dear Pastor,
My wife and I have been separated from each other for two years. And the reason for that is that she kept telling me that my private part is too small for her. And, pastor, I love her so much. I am wondering if there is any way I can fix my problem to suit her. If there is, I will do so gracefully.
Dear Separated,
You did not give the size of your penis, but I am sure you are really worried because your wife has left you and the reason for her doing so. Too bad she didn't work with you and try to help you. You are not to be blamed for having a small penis.
Many men have done surgery to increase the size. I know that such surgery is very expensive, but it has been done. Some have used sexual gadgets to increase the size during sexual intercourse.
I suggest, therefore, that you go and see a medical doctor for advice and that you also make an appointment to see a family counsellor. If your wife loves you as much as you love her, she would not object to accompany you to see a medical doctor and a family counsellor.
Brother, I wish you well.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Lynx Real-Time Systems, Inc., announced the donation
of Lynx Messenger for BlueCat Linux, its high-performance messaging technology,
to the Linux open-source community to establish a new standard for advanced
CompactPCI inter-board messaging in distributed and high availability
(HA) systems.
Lynx messaging technology supports multiple operating systems and protocols,
thereby allowing for greater flexibility in installation and configuration.
Through the release of Lynx's Messenger Technology code to the 'Open-Source'
community they hope to gain a strong foothold in Linux messaging as the
operating system gains in popularity.
Lynx may not realize any immediate benefit from releasing code to the
open-source community, future positive repercussions may prove extremely
fruitful. Sendmail, Inc. is another messaging company who makes full use
of the open-source community and has realized tremendous growth and success
as a direct result. The open-source community allows a company to not
only 'beta-test' and QA (Quality Assure) its software more rapidly, but
also allows for additional improvements and features to be added to the
The release bodes well with Linux open source developers who generally
take kindly to companies who make their software code available for re-tooling,
testing, and engineering, and often implementation and use. This news
release really only appeals to Linux messaging developers and companies
positioned on the Linux fence.

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Lemon Scented Sticky Bat Perfume Oil Review
I love smelling like a sticky bat!
Maddy is Neil Gaiman's 16 (nearly 17) year old daughter. A few years ago he reposted a journal entry on his blog about her waking him one morning to tell him a bat was at the kitchen window. The endearing story goes on to say that Neil promptly turned around and went back to sleep but proceeded to wake up to discover that indeed a bat had gotten stuck on some gluey clear plastic paper which was kept on the ground floor windows of his home to trap flies (they'd peel them off and chuck them after the paper had enough flies on it ew!).
The little bat was stuck on the plastic facing into the room and was assumed dead by Neil's assistant but what was quickly realized he was not as he hissed!
This adventure led to how they would get the dear bat off the paper without hurting him. Some citrus solvent works it's way into the solution and was quickly dripped onto the bat as they edged him off the sticky paper. The Happily Ever After of the story is that a lemon-scented sticky bat crawled away unharmed into a woodpile in the yard and hopefully survived his interesting, "sticky" experience.
When I first read the entry it made me smile. Maddy supposedly drew a photo of the bat which Neil had hopes of finding and posting but it never came to be, I think I'd have loved to see that childish sketch drawn by a than five year old Maddy.
This story was the inspiration behind the new Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Lemon Scented Sticky Bat Perfume Oil.
The oil is $26 for 5 ML, not cheap by any means but all for a non profit venture as proceeds of every single bottle goes to one of my favorite charities, The CBLDF (Comic Book Legal Defense Fund).
The joy of the bottle of oil is not only that the profits are going to charity but the craftsmanship that actually went into the making of the oil. It's probably one of my favorite BPAL oils of all time at the moment. They really nailed it.
If you loved Bath and Body Works Hello Sugar! this is exactly that scent but in a more potent blend. Sweet, custardy lemon comes through here. It smells like a lemon pie of some sort. Tart, very sweet, and a bit foody. BPAL oils are notorious for morphing once they hit your skin but this smells as good in the bottle as it does on your skin during its final dry down. The notes comes through crisp and clear and the lemon stays fresh but also pastry or cake-y like so you aren't left with a bad dish detergent lemon smell but more of a true tart lemon with touches of custard and cake.
Although I don't personally know Maddy I think I'll smile every time I wear this scent and think of her drawing that sticky little bat that was glued to the window.
The scent somehow captures the tale completely and brings a wide smile to my mouth.
Perhaps I'm too much of a fan girl.
Loves it!
Very Muse Approved for purchase!
You can smell like a Lemon Scented Sticky Bat too by visiting www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com and indulging in a bottle or two (two is more like it, completely an addicting smell).
You NEED this!

Lol, the first line of your post made me laugh! So cute. The fragrance sounds intriguing (love lemon, love pastry, it's all good) and I actually think bats are really, really cute. I've never heard of BPAL before – I will have to check 'em out.
3/10/11 13:45 Susan:
The name and label are not appealing but the story is the cutest! Love it!
3/10/11 13:56 Susan:
Ill give the bat this, its not the ugliest bat Ive ever seen 😉
3/10/11 14:10 Susan:
Whew, this is great! I didnt want him to send his friends after me, LOL.
3/10/11 14:14 Gina (prim and polished):
Sold!!!! I have been dying to try BPal but I am overwhelmed by the scent menu! This sounds perfect to me, I love Hello Sugar! Those lemon pastry scents are my favorite. I now know where to start
3/10/11 14:24 Gina (prim and polished):
I am excited to try!!!! So happy you reviewed!
3/10/11 14:31 Gina (prim and polished):
Good to know! I will absolutely let you know how it goes!!
3/10/11 16:10 Ana:
Is there much pastry scent? Or is it predominately lemony-custard?
3/10/11 17:59 Tracy:
I'd ordered some scent samples from BPAL after reading a previous post you did about this brand! I just love their whole concept, from product names to packaging to product descriptions. I'm not a citrus gal, but I actually love the little bat on the label & the concept behind the fragrance. For some reason I imagine this smelling like Lemonhead candies, which I'm sure isn't what you meant, lol..
3/10/11 19:08 DaenaCat:
I'm really tempted by this one — being that I love lemons, bats and Neil. But I have such bad luck with BPAL — most of their scents that I've tried turn horrid on me — think bug spray or rancid baby powder. And their citrus scents disappear within minutes on me literally. Sad. (That said, their "Wrath" scent is my signature fragrance.)
Still, it's for a good cause, so maybe I should just try it anyway.
3/12/11 5:18 DaenaCat:
Well, you've convinced me! (Not that it was TOO hard to do, ha!) Hopefully it'll smell lovely on me — I love citrus scents in the spring/summer. 😀
3/10/11 22:24 Quinctia:
I very briefly debated ordering this when it launched, but I need more BPAL like I need another hole in the head. Given what I hauled between Halloween and Yule, it's more true than ever.
3/11/11 13:31 GIn:
I got 3 little lemon sticky bats today, and I *love* them. Best lemon ever!

For the East Coweta, Newnan and Northgate softball teams, the real quest begins in earnest this afternoon when they host GHSA State Tournament first-round series starting with doubleheaders today.
The state-ranked Lady Indians and Lady Vikings lineups look for a return trip to Columbus, while the Lady Cougars are hoping to get back to the Elite 8 after being knocked out of last year's second round following a trip in 2010.
A third and deciding game is set for Thursday, if needed in all best-of-three first-round series.
Northgate, which is trying to win a second straight state title, this time in Class AAAAA, will begin its quest today with a 4:30 p.m., doubleheader against Harris County (19-10), the No. 3 seed from Region 1-AAAAA.
A year ago, the Lady Vikings defeated Whitewater to win the Class AAAA crown, the program's second in school history and the first since 2007.
The Lady Vikings (25-7) finished second in last week's Region 4-AAAAA tournament. It may not matter much, however.
Last year's Northgate team ended a tough Region 3-AAAA tournament as the No. 4 seed. All four of its state qualifiers teams were the last standing at the GHSA Elite Eight tournament in Columbus. For the second straight year, the Lady Vikings were joined by Union Grove, Ola and Whitewater among qualifiers in their region.
Northgate comes into the postseason ranked No. 2 in the gasports.com Class AAAAA poll.
The Lady Vikings defeated Starr's Mill, Whitewater and Ola in last week's region tournament before falling to 3-2 to Union Grove in the finals of the double-elimination event on a walk-off single. Northgate played three games on the final day of the tournament, coming a run from winning the region out of the loser's bracket.
Harris County dropped its last two games of the 1-AAAAA tournament, including a 5-3 decision to runner-up Lee County (18-13) in eight innings.
In Class AAAAAA, East Coweta (27-3-1) comes into the postseason ranked fourth after going undefeated as last week's host in the Region 3-AAAAA Tournament, capped off with back-to-back wins over rival Newnan.
The Lady Indians held off the Lady Cougars (17-13) for a 5-4 victory in the championship.
For East Coweta head coach Franklin Deloach, winning the region title just the first step in what he hopes is a successful posteason.
"Winning the region title is big," he said. "I am proud of all the girls and the coaching staff. We really persevered. It was just a dogfight (against Newnan)."
Having reeled off 21 wins in their last 22 games, the Lady Indans host Region 2-AAAAAA's No. 4 seed, Newton, in a 4 p.m. doubleheader that will be an uphill climb at best for the Lady Rams (2-14).
Deloach set a milestone during the region tournament with his 300th career victory, but one thing hasn't changed for the veteran coach, he doesn't care who he plays to open the playoffs.
"I am superstitious when it comes to that," he said. "I really don't look or care who we play. We just have to keep perserving."
Newnan, meanwhile, opens the playoffs at home against Luella (14-11-1), the No. 3 seed from 2-AAAAAA. Play begins with a 5 p.m. doubleheader at Newnan. The Lady Cougars won seven of their last eight regular season games heading into the region tournament.
Both Newton and Luella were former region rivals of both Coweta teams the past two years in the former 2-AAAAA alignment.
"We are starting to play well at the right time." Newnan coach Carrie Gilmore said after the region tournament. "We are glad to be in the state tournament. We just want to keep it going."

Magic Kitchen (Chinese: 魔幻厨房; Cantonese Yale: Moh waan chue fong) is a 2004 Hong Kong film, directed by Lee Chi-Ngai.
Yau became the proprietor and head chef of a successful restaurant/cafe since her mother died six months ago. Yau cooks according to the large collection of recipes her mother, who had tremendous talent as a culinary artist but never found success in the restaurant scene due to sexism, created over the years, but has no confidence in herself as a chef. When she visits Japan with her assistant Ho at the invitation of an Iron Chef style cooking show, she has a chance run-in with an old boyfriend, Chuen. Over the next weeks back in HongKong, Yau struggles with resurgent feelings for Chuen even as she discovers that one of her best friends has started seeing him. In the mean time, her steadfast supporter and assistant for the last three years, Ho, pushes her to be more bold in her art and experiment. Love and food intersects with surprising twists as she finally decides to leave the past behind and compete in the cooking challenge. In the end, love is the secret ingredient.

DEADMAN CREEK (Callahan County). Deadman Creek rises about four miles northwest of Clyde in northwestern Callahan County (at 32°24' N, 99°33' W) and runs for a total of thirty miles, first northwest into Jones County, then north to parallel the Jones-Shackelford county line before reaching its mouth on the Clear Fork of the Brazos River, two miles south of U.S. Highway 180 (at 32°44' N, 99°38' W). The stream, previously known as Willow Creek, was renamed after an unidentified man was found dead at one of its crossings. Deadman Creek, which is dammed in Jones County to form a reservoir for municipal supply, traverses flat terrain with local shallow depressions, surfaced by clay and sandy loam soils that support water-tolerant hardwoods, conifers, and grasses.

iOS developer Aaron Steed would like to entice people who like board games (such as chess and roguelikes) to download his Ending puzzler for iOS platforms.
Available as a free download from the iTunes App Store's Games section, Ending is a single-player, turn-based puzzler "about movement and death," according to its creator.
Best played on iPhone 4 or newer, Ending recently got a new update which allows gamers to save data moved to documents, ends crashes on iPhone 5, highlights the mute button better, and addresses "a severe gameplay bug with generators."
Also worth noting, version 0.2.4 changes some levels and includes several UI bugs.
Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation), and iPad, Ending requires only iOS 4.3. The game is Universal, meaning it displays natively on all platforms.

We have over 12,000 students, from over 100 countries, within one of the safest campuses in the UK
97% of Lancaster students go into work or further study within six months of graduating
Press clipping: Research
Postgraduates in the department hosted 'Histfest' on 10-11 May. A celebrated tradition at Lancaster, beginning in 1996, Histfest was developed as a history conference organised by postgraduates for postgraduates. Funded this year by the Royal Historical Society, the event attracted twenty-three speakers from thirteen institutions, including Oxford, King's College London, Manchester, St Andrews, Queen's University Belfast, and Glasgow, as well as several papers from Lancaster postgraduates. Papers covered topics as diverse as the Muslims of Sicily during the Norman period to perceptions of poverty and the 'underclass' in Thatcher's Britain.

Being a Nintendo / GameStop exclusive apparently hasn't prevented the highly-regarded Xenoblade Chronicles from popping up on GameFly.
If you can get through the game's copious amount of content in a month (the hundred-hour barrier can be easily broken in Chronicles) and don't mind renting instead of buying, you could conceivably experience all the game has to offer for the low, low price of $5.95.

POTSDAM - Clarkson University professor Ruth Baltus will be honored by AAUW-St. Lawrence County as their 2013 Agent of Change at a reception at Potsdams First Crush 4 p.m, Monday.
Branch members, students, colleagues, friends and the public are invited to an AAUW Happy Hour to enjoy complimentary hors doeuvres and a cash bar for the awards ceremony and a social networking event. Please RSVP to AAUW membership VP JoAnn Rogers at firstname.lastname@example.com by Friday.
Since 1987, AAUW-St. Lawrence County Branch has biennially honored a St. Lawrence County woman whose work as employer, employee or volunteer is noteworthy in one or all of these three areas: her work has advanced the cause of womens rights; her work exemplifies the importance of equity for women; her work has brought about significant change in the community.
Dr. Baltus joins a distinguished roster of former awardees for her work as a mentor, a teacher, a researcher and a leader at Clarkson University. She is one of only seven women in the entire university to hold the rank of full professor. From 2006-12, she was the Department Chair of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. During much of that time, she was the only female department chair at the university.
Dr. Baltus has worked to advance womens standing and opportunities at the university. She served on the Gender Issues Committee since its founding in 2004. She was faculty advisor for the Clarkson University student section of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) from 1991-2001, and for three of those years, the section was honored as the best student section in its 26 school region (Region F).
Past recipients of the AAUW Agent of Change have been Georgia Coopersmith (1987) as Director of the Gibson Art Gallery at SUNY Potsdam and for reaching out to make the visual arts accessible to a wider public; Sister Kathryn Healey (1989) for her work in starting Hospice in St. Lawrence County; and the late Betty Bradley (1991) for her pioneering work as first woman to be elected to the county legislature.
Also honored have been Carol Grzywinski (1993) for her work in establishing the Learning Assistance at SUNY Canton for re-entry and non-traditional students; Lois McAllester (1995) for her work as dietician and administrator with the Office for the Aging in establishing a network of nutrition sites throughout the county; and the late Stacy Hammill (1997) for her work as a citizen activist in the areas of voter participation and protecting the environment.
More recent Agents of Change have been Eva Turknett-Ramsay (1999) for her work as Director of CAVA to serve victims of domestic violence and sexual assault; Karen Butler Easter (2001) for her work with Reachout, a 24-hour crisis intervention, information and referral service for St. Lawrence County; and Hilary Oak in 2003 for her work for the Arts in the county.
In 2005, AAUW honored the late Bea Woodward for her work with several local volunteer organizations; Allison Koch in 2007, for opening the doors for women in health care by being the first midwife to start a holistic, female-centered, OB/GYN practice in St. Lawrence County.; and Pat Musante, the Director of the Potsdam Public Library, in 2009 for her work to expand library services in the area.
The most recent honoree was Cantons Margaret Kent Bass, a powerful advocate and visible leader in equity and education, a trail blazer for womens rights, an advocate for racial justice, and a modern day Sojourner Truth for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) rights.

Since January, The Library of Virginia has offered the Virginia Family Literacy Calendar at DayByDayVA.org where State Librarian Sandra Treadway explains that "you and your child can embark on an adventure together through books and reading and the many fun-filled activities that spring from them." The project is supported in part by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services and, according to Treadway, is designed to "help you identify events and activities that support early learning and ensure that your child is ready for school and ready to read independently. The goal is to help provide parents with the tools that make spending time with their children easy and fun, while also helping young ones learn new things about our state and our world."
The calendar allows you to navigate backward and forward through the 365 days of the year. There are links to "Arts & Crafts", "Be Healthy", "Places in VA", and "Read With Me". The "Read With Me" site provides an additional link, beyond Shenandoah County Library System's Online Resources page, to the wonderful collection of TumbleBooksTM, a library of electronic talking picture books with music, sound, and narration suited for elementary school children.
Treadway explains that DayByDayVA is where "you find ideas for stimulating your child's mind and imagination using materials found in your home, as well as lists of books, music, and other educational resources that you can obtain through your local public library. The Library of Virginia works closely with Virginia's public libraries and other state and federal partners to assist and support you as your family navigates through the early learning years. The hope is that the calendar will serve as a springboard to provide you and the youngest members of your family with a love of learning that will last throughout their lives."
Try it out! It's a lot of interactive family fun!

Boston cardinal reflects on defeat of assisted-suicide initiative
Catholic World News - November 13, 2012
Emphasizing that "physician assisted suicide presents a moral and ethical threat to society, the medical profession, the disabilities community and the common good," Cardinal Sean O'Malley of Boston reflected on the narrow defeat of a ballot initiative that would have legalized the practice in Massachusetts.
"Just as in our struggle against abortion, it is not enough simply to condemn abortion, but we need to help to take care of the women whose lives are in turmoil because of a pregnancy," he said at the fall meeting of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. "In the same way, we need to reach out to those facing difficulties at the end of life."
"Proponents of physician assisted suicide want us to believe that this is a compassionate response to the plight of people who have a terminal illness," he added. "It is not. We are called to comfort the sick, not to help them take their own lives."

Akon: "All Rick Ross Has To Do Is Keep Focusing On Music."
Hip-hop crooner Akon has some experience dealing with TheSmokingGun.com. The singer was busted by the site when they revealed 'Kon's car theft past wasn't as vast as he led many to believe. Still, Akon has thrived and is in the midst of working with Michael Jackson.
So who better to offer Rick Ross advice?
'Kon told MTV News that Ross–who was busted after he repeatedly denied his past as a correctional officer–should just focus on the music. And that this moment will soon pass.
"It'll only affect Ross if Ross allows it to affect him," Akon explained. "Had I gone out and entertained the article [on me], it would have blew the article out of proportion. Wherever they got their facts or information from, let that be what it is. YOu got your story out, thank you very much. I bow to it and keep it moving. Now, if you wanna entertain it, then you're gonna open up more worms you probably don't want opened up. So all Ross has to do it focus on his music."
When pictures surfaced online citing Ross as a correctional officer in Miami, he vehemently denied the allegation. TheSmokingGun.com, however, revealed Ross' records with Miami's Department of Corrections. Since the story, Ross has maintained his stance that his street cred is in tact; he hasn't addressed his time as a law enforcer.—Nino "Dubs" DeLuca.

Alicia: My Story
Bantam Books, 1988 - 356 Seiten
Her name is Alicia. She was thirteen when she began saving the lives of people she did not know--while fleeing the Nazis through war-ravaged Poland. Her family cruelly wrenched from her. Alicia rescued other Jews from the Gestapo, led them to safe hideouts, and lent them her courage and hope. Even the sight of her mother's brutal murder could not quash this remarkable child's faith in human goodness--or her determination to prevail against overwhelming odds.
