Below the surface I hide,
From you and your clueless glancing.
I walk away,
To avoid your simpleminded thoughts.
You broke my heart,
And carelessly threw it away.
So why should I constantly be subjected,
To your fake appearances.
Not a man but a fool,
A joker clown in disguise.
I refuse,
To pay any mind to your regrets.
I cried embarassed tears,
You just laughed and sat there.
I say goodbye,
To you because you're dead to me.
Now you're just another scar,
On my back thats broken.
I've stressed and strained,
But now I am just sick and tired.
You ignored,
My attempts and casted me out.
Now I return,
The favor.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's trade deficit (exports-import gap) during the first half of this financial year was recorded at $9.87 billion, which was 14 percent less than $11.476 billion in the same period last year, the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) Friday reported.
Interestingly, during July-December FY13, exports increased by 7.58 percent to $12.05 billion, while imports dropped by 3.33 percent to $21.92 billion. Last year in the same period, exports stood at $11.20 billion and imports at $22.678 billion.
Independent economists believe that decline in imports and a little increase in exports were due to weak rupee, as it makes Pakistani products less costly attracting world economies to import from Pakistan at comparatively low price. However, for Pakistani importers, it becomes difficult to import foreign products as now they are paying more rupees to import these products. During last one year, Pakistani rupee has shed it value sizably against major trading currencies of the world.
Though to some extent the depreciating rupee supports bridging of trade gap, yet at the same time it also mounts pressure on the country's external debt and its servicing (i.e. each dollar debt needs more rupees to retire or service it).
Pakistan's external debt and liabilities at the end of September 2012 stood at an unprecedented $66.24 billion, which is 27.45 percent of country's GDP, which has been estimated at Rs23.65 trillion or at $241.3 billion (at Rs98 a dollar) for FY13. Keeping in view the impact of rupee depreciation on total debt burden in absolute terms, each rupee increase in dollar vale would cost the economy about more than Rs66.24 billion. The government's economic policymakers should think about the negative and positive fallouts of currency depreciation on economy, as there is a trade-off between mounting debt burden and reduced trade deficit as a result of weakening rupee. This calls for coordinated efforts of federal government and the central bank.
According to the annual plan 2012-13, the government has projected an export target of $25.812 billion for FY13. However, in first half it has achieved 46.7 percent of the target. Interestingly, the ministry of commerce had to unveil three-year Strategic Trade Policy Framework 2012-2015 in July 2012 with a resolve to boost exports to $30 billion, but still its has not been announced. The country's first ever three-year STPF 2009-12 has already expired in June 2012.
During December 2012, trade deficit down by 29.25 percent to $1.7 billion against $2.4 billion recorded in December 20011.
During the month under review, economy's products sold abroad rose by 6.2 percent to $1.97 billion, while it pulled in 13.8 percent less products that amounted to $3.67 billion.
These experts believe that the increasing crude oil price in international market could further put burden on country's trade deficit. CNG, which feeds cars and other vehicles and its shortage in domestic market, is also one of the catalysts for high oil demand and this balloons imports bill.
Comparing December 2012's trade activities with the previous month (November), exports were up by 3.85 percent and imports by 1.8 per cent. In November 2012, exports stood at $1.896 billion and imports at $3.607 billion.

|Differential effects of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor on A9 and A10 dopamine neuron survival in vitro.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17583436 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) enhances dopamine (DA) cell survival and fiber outgrowth, and may be beneficial in enhancing cell restorative strategies for Parkinson's disease (PD). However, GDNF may have different roles for transplanted DA cell sub-types. The present in vitro study investigated the effect of GDNF on the survival of rat DA cells displaying a phenotype consistent with either the substantia nigra [A9 cells immunopositive for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and G-protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium channel subunit 2 (GIRK2)] or with the ventral tegmental area [A10 cells immunopositive for TH and calbindin]. It was found that a single exposure of GDNF enhanced the number of DA cells of an A9 phenotype, without affecting DA cells of an A10 phenotype. Conversely, repeated GDNF exposure did not alter the survival of A9 phenotypic cells, but doubled the percentage of A10 cells. It was concluded that GDNF administration may affect dopaminergic cells differently depending on time and degree of GDNF exposure. For cell transplantation in PD, long-term GDNF administration may result in detrimental effects for transplanted A9 TH+ cells as this may introduce competition with A10 TH+ cells for survival and fiber outgrowth into the host striatum. These results may have important implications for clinical neural transplantation in PD.

In its latest attempt at divorcing itself completely from reality, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on June 20 to delay food-safety rules that would require farmers and food companies to be more vigilant about guarding against contamination … by requiring that workers wash their hands. This is not an urban legend.
In its latest attempt at divorcing itself completely from reality, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on June 20 to delay food-safety rules that would require farmers and food companies to be more vigilant about guarding against contamination … by requiring that workers wash their hands. This is not an urban legend.
Bear with me here because this is going to get a bit complicated.
The Food Safety Modernization Act, the most comprehensive reform of food safety laws in more than 70 years, became law in January 2011. Prompted by a rash of salmonella and other food contamination scares and a surge in imported foods over which our regulators have little control, this comprehensive law is designed to ensure the safety of the U.S. food supply by changing the regulatory focus from responding to food scares to preventing them.
It has taken the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) two years to develop implementing regulations. House Republicans, however, objected to the hand-washing rule and succeeded in amending (by voice vote) this year's farm bill to prevent the FDA from moving ahead with the regulation until the agency "studies and reports on its economic impact."
The farm bill was, surprisingly, defeated. Its failure, however, does not mean the green light to food workers to wash their hands. The House will try again very soon and will succeed in passing a revised farm bill that will likely include the hand-washing moratorium.
The original farm legislation was a terrible bill any way you slice it. It was rejected by the full House because Speaker John Boehner could not marshal enough Republican votes from his out-of-control caucus to pass it. Many Democrats also opposed it because it would decimate the already beleaguered food stamp program at a time when millions of desperate Americans thrown into poverty by the Great Recession and tepid recovery would starve without food stamps. As if that were not enough, the House by voice vote adopted an amendment to require drug tests for food stamp recipients. In addition, many House Democrats voted against it because it would have continued to flood the sugar industry and agribusinesses with billions of dollars that they don't need.
The House will try again, and a new farm bill will soon be considered. Hopefully, it will be an improvement over the train wreck that Boehner tried to push through. Regardless of its many other demerits, it is probable that FDA's hand-washing mandate will be delayed again.
Small wonder that recent polls show Congress' approval rating at 10 percent, the lowest approval rating ever for any organization. That includes the Mexican drug cartels, the Klan, A-Rod, used-car salesmen, lawyers, insurance agents, George W. Bush, the Kardashians, Black Mambas and cockroaches.
Next time you feel inclined to wash your hands, stop and ponder for a moment how you might be adversely affecting the national economy. To borrow from the tired canard about teaching: "Those who can, do; those who can't, legislate."

Springfield Councilman Dan Chiles advocates waiting for a traffic study on a tract at U.S. 60-65. / Valerie Mosley / News-Leader
Springfield Parks Director Jodie Adams said accepting land for parks use at U.S. 60-65 will make it available to the public, possibly years before commercial development starts. / Valerie Mosley / News-Leader
If developers of a 500-acre tract at U.S. 60-65 want to give 200 acres along the James River to the parks department, some Springfield City Council members want to know what the catch is.
Instead of rushing to accept the land, wait until a traffic study and other work is done on the project, Councilman Dan Chiles said during an hourlong discussion at Monday night's council meeting.
Chiles said he was concerned that in order to use the land for greenway trails, river access, an archery center and other purposes, the Springfield-Greene County Parks Department would have to build an access road through the proposed commercial and residential development at the north edge of the highway interchange.
That would involve using public funds in a private development, he contended.
"What is the urgency for us to decide this now?" Chiles asked.
Councilman Nick Ibarra had similar concerns about public money benefitting a private development.
Changes in the language for the development plan prompted his concern, Ibarra said.
Changes include donating land along the river to the parks department, and removing specific mention of using Farm Road 170 or any other road as an east-west access.
Some speakers indicated they suspect subterfuge because the parks department has been brought into the matter.
Springfield resident and council candidate Fred Ellison termed the land offer a "clever" attempt to inject public funds into the project.
Ellison said he agreed with a go-slow stance voiced by some council members.
At least one council member said he supports acceptance of free land.
In order to grow, the parks department has to be able to accept valuable land, Councilman Scott Bailes said.
Private development of the land and using land near the river for parks are separate issues, parks director Jodie Adams said.
Accepting the land for parks use will make it available to the public, possibly years before commercial development begins, she said.
Thwarted in an attempt to acquire riverside land at another site, the offer by the developers would make it possible for the parks department to expand its presence on the east side of Springfield.
Currently, the department has 18 acres devoted to parks east of U.S. 65, Adams said.
Springfield architect Geoff Butler said the original plan didn't specifically mention donating land to the parks department, only to an entity that would preserve the land.
Developers began talking to parks staff about six months ago about a donation, he said.
Representatives of Ozark Greenways and the James River Basin Partnership said the land donation would provide park land and access to the James River, as well as water quality benefits.
The council will consider the proposed changes at its next meeting.
Mayor Jim O'Neal said he wants city staff to study previous documents to determine if anything was mentioned about donating land for public use, as well as a provision that the developers are responsible for obtaining funding -- public or private -- for public improvements such as roads.
In other action, council heard an update on the preliminary plat for the Hickory Hills Marketplace development on the site of the old Hickory Hills School.
Although council members learned a nearby property owner has filed a protest petition on the project, representatives of the Springfield school district and High Street Baptist Church said the district and church support the project.

I am in serious need of motivation and/or a plan... my son is not yet sleeping through the night. How did you manage running in the AM and the lack of sleep? I am new to running and haven't fallen into a groove yet I guess.
I work 7:30am to 5pm and don't want to train after work because I'd much rather snuggle with my sweet, lil man and I am about spent by the end of the work day (I work with victims of sexual assault). Before I had my son, I would go to the gym in the morning no problem, but I am soooo tired now. It's so hard to roll out of bed in the morning!
Just trying to figure something out.
how old is your son? truly, you need to start getting sleep back before you worry about going running in the early morning in the dead of winter. none of that is a recipe to keep you motivated!
If you really want to go, give yourself a pass and only go for 20 minutes each time. that way, you can sleep a little later and still feel like you got some exercise in. otherwise, you're just going to burn yourself out.
good luck, and congratulations!
When my son was little little (he's 21 months now) I figured I was going to be tired anyways, I might as well do something that makes me feel good!! I would meet up with another new mom friend and we would try out new classes at the gym or walk, or I would go for a run before my husband had to leave for work (while I was still on maternity leave).
Upcoming races:
Lucky Laces 10K 3/15
Colfax Marathon 5/17
I actually did schedule to do a crossfit class one night a week with a friend of mine. My son is 6mo. He was only waking once a night but for the last three weeks it's been every two hours My husband and I were considering sleep training but they doctor said that sleep regression at 6mo is normal. We are trying to stick it out until his sleep patterns change.
I am concerned about burn out... although, I live in Florida so I don't have to worry much about the weather.
Hi! I popped in to ask a question and figured I'd give some feedback to your question. Excuse typos, I'm typing w one hand .
After each baby my running/workout schedule was wonkie for the first year. Of course it depends on the baby. My first was an awful sleeper, didnt sleep through the night until almost a year..and was special needs (ASD) so my me time was when I could fit it in. i worked then too, but 2nd shift so I went on the TM while he was next to me in a seat/bouncer around noon before work ...sometimes I got in 10 mins, sometime 30..He never sat in the jogging stroller, screamed like awful..so that was not an option.
Baby # 2 was my easy one! He slept throught the night early and I could do morning runs TM or outside if DH was home, and he would play in his crib happily till I was done. DS #1 went off to preschool and i could take DS#2 in the jogger.
My last is almost 6 months and does sleep through the night but gets up as early as 5a and SCREAMS as soon as he wakes. Also he goes to sleep at like 9pm. i suspect that he is going to be fiesty but really i'm just hoping he is not on the spectrum like big brother.
Anyway i would love to run in the am, as thats always been my preferred time. I have been runing on day DH is off, and trying to get 30 minutes in during naps on days DH works, but if I'm going to do mornings i'm going to have to bite the bullet of being tired. something I am not willing to do right now almost every morning, bc getting up at 4 is painful! lol but I can do it 2x week then do runs later in the day other days. I am praying to the baby gods that this little guy sits in the jogging stroller come spring. It'll be a double, for him and my 3 y/o...I'm gonna be screwed if he doesnt bc DHs work schedule is changing so I will not be able to go out and run in the am before he goes to work which is what I did before this baby.
My suggestion is schedule morning runs maybe 2 mornings a week for now, and maybe the after work ones like 2 days. This way you are not gone after work everyday and you are not getting up early (and sleep deprived) everyday. I know its only 4 days, see if you can fit in your last run or two on your days off. I've found unless you are blessed with a perfectly happy calm sleeping baby (my 2nd thank goodness! lol) it is very hard to schedule runs like you did prebaby, BUT this is temporary. In my expirence if you dig your heels in (I WILL run mornings only) and it is just not the best time with your sleep, baby, life whatever then you wil only set yourself up for headache. I'm not saying you are doing this, but maybe it would be helpful to still do one or two days after work. Another great option is the jogging stroller. Go for runs after work with baby if your baby will have it.
This wont last long, and soon you'll be able to get a full night sleep and run in the morning well rested

Just do it and you'll get into a routine of doing it. I have 3 kids who are almost 3, almost 5 and 6.5. Someone still has me waking up almost every night. The more exercise I do the more energy I have. It's easy to say I am too tired, I can't do it. But you'll get past that by not accepting that as an excuse. I ditto running with your baby. My kids love 'running' with me. I even ran with all three of them on a single stroller for an elf fun run before Christmas! We weren't going very fast and occasionally my oldest got off to run a bit.

I'm not sure if you mean it literally that you are up almost every night with your kids, but that's surprising. My 6 year old is autistic and has had multiple sleep disturbances (falling asleep, waking etc) and at this point he is not up nearly every night. I'd say he wakes me maybe 3-4x a month now, and even then, I'm only up for about 10 minutes getting him settled in bed again. My 3 year old is typical and sleeps through the night unless he sick or something. And my just about 6 month old sleeps through the night for the most part, minus some stirring or 4am waking here and there. I know from experience, that's its easy to forget just how exhausting it is to be up with a baby at night, because its not always a quick wake up, and its night after night. And I see your youngest is 3. I do agree (and its been proven through studies) that exercise will increase your energy. But sleep is important for the body as well, and it has also been proven through research than inadequate sleep can lead to a lot of health issues. I think the key for someone still up regularly with a baby is not to stop working out but find a balance that they give their body the sleep it needs and exercise, that's not an excuse. I too, forgot just how hard it is to be up at night with a baby, and would have said something similar..then I was quickly reminded with my new little one. And its like "oh yeah, this really knocks the hell out of you!"...also, I don't know if you worked when the kids were babies, but I did with my first two, but I'm a SAHM with this one and I have noticed it made a HUGE difference with my energy level. Not putting in those 40 hours a week at work (I'm an RN) , made it much much easier to go on less sleep. And its not like I nap, I just found that a little missed sleep now is not as hard as when I was working. Anyway, I just didn't want th OP to think of what she was saying was "an excuse". Getting up at night with babies does take away from sleep. And don't forget, as a first time mom, there is a lot of adjustment, with sleep changes and everything in general. I think that punishing herself by thinking she is making excuses is not the most positive way to find time in her day to run.
6 months and waking up every 2 hours for the past 3 weeks? Yikes! That's awful. It could be a growth spurt for your child but sometimes they get comfortable with eating all day and night. Personally, I let my kids cry it out when they were that age. Granted I had two at at time and just couldn't handle any more lack of sleep. Thankfully they caught on pretty quick that it wasn't going to work with me and 2-3 days later they went back to sleeping. Anyhow, do what you want to help your baby sleep.
These are a few things I do to help me get out of bed when I am really tired, (although if you haven't gotten any sleep for the last 3 weeks then you need to focus on that for the time being) but when your baby starts to sleep again, this is what worked for me. My bedroom faces East and I have a large window in front of my bed so I crack the curtain a couple of inches so when the sun comes up it wakes me up. I drink a large glass of water right before bed being having to pee always gets me up! You may have to work on your timing and consumption, I have a small bladder so if I drink at about 10 pm then by 6 I have to pee. When I go in to use the BR I turn the light on to help me wake up and if possible while I am dressing I listen to my ipod with some pumped up music on it to help me feel wakeful. Or if you can't dress and listen to music then I definitely do it while my watch is locating satellites and I am putting my shoes on. Usually by then I am mostly awake and ready to go.
Hope this helps! The tiredness from non-sleeping kids is no joke. Fear not though, I will take a nap for you!
"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."
Mahatma Gandhi
As I see it, you are probably better off figuring out what sleep schedule you want the baby to be on FIRST, then after you have that figured out, you can organize how to fit in the running. But until you have the sleep thing somewhat consistent, it's tough.
My 2 kids sleep habits were virtually identical. Bedtime was 6 p.m., and both sleept until at least 4:30 or 5:00 a.m. by the time they hit 12 weeks. I moved both out of a bassinet in my room to their own room at 12 weeks. With both, I was able to nurse them when they work up at 4:30 or 5:00, then put them back to sleep until about 7. I usually ran in the evenings (or did when they were that age), so I used the time in the morning to get ready for work and do some house chores, but you could do the early morning run then. Having that early bedtime worked out for evening runs though.
Now that they aren't babies anymore (almost 4 and almost 2), bedtime is 7 p.m., and they wake up around 7 a.m. I do run in the morning about 1/2 the time now, and it's no big deal to get out the door and back by the time they wake up.
I will say that my kids have great sleep habits and they sleep when they are supposed to. However, I am VERY regimented with their schedules, and started when they were itty bitty. They go to bed within 15 minutes of bedtime every single night. They don't sleep in my bed. Ever. Of course, if one wakes up in the night crying, I'll see what's up--nurse if that's the deal, hugs and beat down the monsters if that's the problem--but then it's back to sleep. I'm mean and militant probably, but it keeps me sane, and it's nice to have time in the evening to talk to my hubs without someone saying mommymommymommymommy all the time.

Do you believe in magic? Do you think small can be beautiful? Are you looking for a little film you can make your own, an enchanting, unpretentious blend of music and romance you can watch forever? If you do, "Once" is about to come into your life and make it whole.
The deserving winner of the world cinema dramatic audience award this year at Sundance, this Irish film is low-key in concept — "a simple, classic story of two artists falling in love" says writer-director John Carney — and thoroughly winning in execution. Its tone may be sweet and gentle, but it has the grit to resist going exactly where you'd expect it to. And it's the first film in years to mix music and story in a light-on-its-feet way that calls to mind Richard Lester's much faster-paced Beatles classics.
"Once" not only has a ton of melodic singer-songwriter music from Glen Hansard, lead singer of the Irish group the Frames, and Marketa Irglova, a young Czech musician he's collaborated with, it's also got the bottled in bond naturalness of these two as its stars. Which was not at all the way the film was supposed to go.
Filmmaker Carney, himself a former member of the Frames, first thought of using Hansard only for his songwriting skills but at a certain point realized that the singer, who had a small role in Alan Parker's "The Commitments," would be a better choice than more polished professionals.
Both Hansard and the remarkably poised Irglova, who was only 17 when "Once" was shot, bring an unforced intimacy to the film that is one of its strengths. Seeing their characters interact during the pivotal week they get to know each other is to be in the privileged position of eavesdropping on some of life's smallest but most memorable moments. We invest in these people completely, and they do not let us down.
Having musicians for stars enables Carney to fulfill the ambition he had for "Once," which was to make a kind of covert musical a film that "while not a traditional 'musical' (in the 1940s sense of the term) would still use a number of songs" to tell an involving boy-meets-girl story.
With the able collaboration of cinematographer Tim Fleming, Carney has come up with different visual ways to casually present each song. There are scenes in rehearsal spaces, recording studios, music stores and more.
One of "Once's" best songs, "If You Want Me," is heard as Irglova's character, wearing PJs and bunny slippers, is heading home from a visit to the neighborhood convenience store to get batteries for the portable tape recorder she is listening to.
But that's getting ahead of the story. "Once" opens with Hansard's nameless busker, or street musician, singing his heart out on the streets of Dublin. He is earnest and seemingly completely ordinary, and he spends his days singing other people's songs for spare change. But at night he busts out with the lyrics he wrote himself, and it is then that he attracts the attention of Irglova's equally nameless young woman.
A Czech immigrant who speaks English with an accent, the woman is also a street vendor, selling flowers or newspapers to make ends meet. She is also forthright, occasionally profane, and unblinkingly inquisitive in a way that unnerves the singer. He must have written that particular song for a woman, she insists, "you play this marvelous song to get her back."
The singer in fact has just broken up with his girlfriend, and is back living with his father and helping him repair vacuum cleaners, or Hoovers as they are known in this part of the world. Quite by chance, the woman has a vacuum that needs fixing, and when they take the bus to the repair shop the next day, he gives her his back story as he sings about being "a broken-hearted Hoover fixer sucker guy."
It turns out that the young woman is an accomplished musician herself, a pianist whose only chance to play is lunchtime on demo models at a piano showroom. The singer comes to hear her, and is so impressed that he immediately asks if she wants to collaborate right then and there on one of his tunes. Watching them slowly piece together the achingly beautiful "Falling Slowly" is simply magical.
While all of this may sound forced on paper, it does not play that way on screen for a pair of interlocking reasons. For one thing, "Once's" inevitably romantic plot is modern enough to shrewdly avoid ever playing out the way audiences will anticipate. For another, the music is so rich and completely satisfying and the characters so appealing "Once" makes us believe that this is all happening right in front of our eyes. We fall for each of these young people at the precise moment they are falling for each other, and what could be better than that?
"Once." MPAA rating: R for language. Running time: 1 hour, 28 minutes. Exclusively at Pacific's ArcLight, 6360 W. Sunset Blvd. (at Ivar Avenue), Hollywood, (323) 464-4226.

Apple forcing publishers to allow iTunes subscriptions
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Apple, Corporate News
Before The Daily appeared on the iPad last week, none of the magazines or newspapers could offer subscriptions from their own apps. Apple had a long dispute with publishers that prevented the feature to be added. On the one hand, publishers wanted to keep a direct line between themselves and their customers, to get the full amount from each subscription, and to get user details such as their gender, sex and location in many cases. Apple however wanted in-app subscriptions to go through their systems. Now, it seems Apple has decided that both should be offered. Apps will be able to offer subscriptions, but the publishers will be forced to offer those subscriptions through iTunes as well. Of course, it's likely that most users will go the iTunes route, and that has the publishers complaining. On the good side however, it means iPhone and iPad users will finally be able to get in-app subscriptions to whichever newspaper or magazine they read.
The future of Apple's NFC mobile payment strategy
Posted by Reza Malayeri Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Editorial, Rumors
There is no question that mobile phone payments are very popular, and that many of us can operate our entire financial lives from our mobile phones. Apps from PayPal, and Square can turn our iPhones into portable financial centers, allowing us to exchange money quickly and easily. These new applications are creating opportunities and benefits that will shape the future of mobile payments.
Predictions about the iPhone 5 and the iPad 2 are beginning to heat up, and much of the talk has been about the implementation of NFC (near field communication) technology. What we haven't heard about so far, is anything about native intergration of mobile payment solutions from Apple and Google.

iTunes 10.1.2 drops, adds support for CDMA iPhone

iTunes extends song previews to 90 seconds
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Music
Is 30 seconds enough time to get a feel for a song? If you said no, Apple agrees with you — today the company is rolling out 90-second previews for some songs on iTunes.
Prior to today, song previews were limited to half a minute, and for many songs they still will be. The 90-second previews are limited to songs that are more than 2 minutes and 30 seconds in length. Songs shorter than that retain their 30-second samples.
For example, looking at iTunes' most recent high-profile addition, the Beatles catalog, "Let It Be" (4:03) and "Hey Jude" (7:11) both get the 90-second treatment while "I Want to Hold Your Hand" (2:26) and "Love Me Do" (2:21) give listeners just 30 seconds to decide if they want to make a purchase.
The extension has been expected for over a month. Reports in early November said that Apple had sent a letter to the music labels informing them of the move, and that it was incumbent on them to opt-out if they didn't support the move. A cursory sampling of music from artists on all four of the major labels indicates none opted out.
For now the 90-second previews appear limited to the U.S. iTunes store. In the letter to the labels, Apple said it was believed that longer previews for some songs would lead to more sales, an assertion supported by research from Robert Morris University.

As we mentioned in our Windows Phone 7 review, Microsoft has given Mac users a way to sync their phones and Zune devices with their computers. Windows Phone 7 devices have no Zune client to sync with a Mac, which would have left Mac owners out in the cold. However, Microsoft is releasing the Windows Phone 7 Connector software for Mac, allowing Mac users to sync content from iTunes, iPhoto, and other areas of their Mac, directly to their Windows Phone 7 and Zune handhelds. Hey...it's better than nothing. We give you a look at how it all works in this episode.
Apple TV review (2010): 5 Things We Like
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, HDTV, Home Entertainment, Product Reviews
We know you've been waiting for our Apple TV review, and we've been playing with Apple's second try at a home theater set top box for about ten days now, and figured it was time to report back with our thoughts. The thing is, it really is a lot of the same in terms of usability and interface. There aren't many changes (yet!) to that side of things, despite things being very different under the hood. The new Apple TV is a lot smaller, and runs iOS 4, and is priced at just $99. It's centered around a focus on renting movies and TV shows rather than purchasing them. It's also got Netflix integration and the new AirPlay functionality that allows you to fling video and audio content from your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch right to the Apple TV with ease.
Rather than go into this as a full review, we figured we'd focus instead on five aspects of the new Apple TV that we like, and five things about the Apple TV that we hate. So let's jump into five things we like about the Apple TV:

Reuters: Apple finally readying subscription music service
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Music, Rumors
We've been waiting for Apple to launch some sort of iTunes subscription music service for years now. Seeing other companies like Rhapsody, Napster, and Microsoft's Zune offer it while leaving Apple out has been pretty frustrating. However, today Reuters is reporting (alongside CNET and the New York Post) that Apple is in talks with all the major record execs to pitch a new subscription music service. Basically, for $10-15 per month, you'd get unlimited access to pretty much the entire iTunes music library. It's definitely a move to ward off Spotify, since they are trying hard to get into the US, as well as the impending launch of Windows Phone 7 which will include a hyped up and renewed push of the Zune Pass. We'd love to see this one happen.

Ergonomics, simply put, molds a worker with their working environment. For a company, ergonomics is a cutting-edge, bottom-line oriented business bonus: it reduces injuries and improves employee morale while saving money.
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, workers lost more than 647,000 workdays in 1996 due to work-related musculoskeletal disorders. That cost $15 - $20 billion in workers' compensation costs. Workers' affected by these injuries not only have problems at work, many cannot complete simple household projects.
Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians, also called physiatrists, are trained and experienced in helping prevent and rehabilitate those same workplace injuries that affect a worker's health and a company's bottom-line. Here are some important tips to create a successful and productive ergonomic workplace.
"Develop ergonomic strategies," says Robert Werner, MD, associate professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. "Proper positioning, posture, equipment, and education are key elements to a successful ergonomic program," he adds, "And it isn't necessary to spend a fortune redesigning your office space to provide relief." Introducing ergonomic tools and education in bits and pieces are the best weapons to prevent injury in the workplace. Counseling by a professional skilled in the area of ergonomics is an excellent first step. A fifteen-minute assessment of a worker's environment can potentially save employers and employees time and money in lost productivity, wages, and medical expenses.
What else can an employee or a company do to ensure a successful and productive ergonomic workplace?
"Pace your activity and include short, frequent breaks," says Steve Geiringer, MD, professor of the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. In our deadline-driven world, workers frequently work for longer periods and then take a longer break expecting it will ease the progressive onset of pain. The reality is that once you feel pain, the damage has already been done. "Short, frequent breaks such as standing for about 30 seconds every 20 or 30 minutes provides a necessary break for your muscles," says Dr. Geiringer. These breaks revitalize your muscles with the oxygen necessary to operate efficiently.
A recent study conducted by the University of Michigan tested workstations that moved employees throughout the day from a sitting to a standing position at their computer. Seventy percent of the subjects preferred a work station with a sit/stand option compared to a conventional sitting only workstation. Workers also reported lower levels of back, neck and arm pain with the sit/stand option.
Business is a world where time lost is money lost. "An office that is well-designed from the standpoint of ergonomics should result in fewer repetitive stress injuries (RSIs). It will also result in less time off work for RSIs and neck/back injuries, improved employee satisfaction and therefore heightened productivity, and perhaps even improved employee retention," says Dr. Geiringer.

In DA's website he said he uses @agenda for people that he comes in contact with and writes info on what he plans to talk about. My question is does he keep adding names as he deals with people or are these names a particular group that he deals with on a on-going basis. I am a sales manager and I am looking for a way to keep a log in my palm for each of my sales reps. i.e. - delegation of sales lead or just information talked about. Any suggestions?
No announcement yet.

I'm not in sales, but I would think that if you're thinking about keeping a log of what you discuss with your sales reps, then you might want to just keep that in a list. Each rep could have a page/file to themselves. That will make it easy to find one when you need it, plus you could keep a log of each meeting without going back and forth from an NA list and a log. You could even purge each log of info as necessary.
To keep information for reference about things you have discussed with somebody, it might just suffice to use the notes field in the address book.
To keep track of things I need to follow up on, I create new "to do" entry with the name of the person involved and the subject, and use @WaitingFor or @Agenda as the category depending on the subject. I normally use @Agenda for people who I deal with regularly as well as for those with whom I meet only ocassionally.
I use Agendus instead of the original Palm apps. When listing meetings or "to dos" it includes the name of the contact in a different colour. It is also possible to see all the meetings and "to dos" associated with a contact from the address book. It is useful to have this log for interactions with someone.
I have used at times a nice application called 2Action Meeting. This lets you keep a record of meetings, including those present, notes, topics and "to dos" arising from the meeting. The "to dos" can be linked to the Palm "to do" list. The topics however, cannot be linked to,say, "to do" @Agenda. This is the reason why I now just use Agendus.
What do I do if I want to discuss e-mails, or tasks I allready have in my system with the persons in the @agenda??
Enter a new task, category @Agenda, [name of person] topic. Or duplicate the task and assign it to category @Agenda and enter [name of person]. To discuss an email, I would enter "Email "topic for email, [name of person], category @Agenda.

on thesixtyone,
new artists make music
& listeners decide what's good
[flash is required for playing music]
Goo Goo Dolls is an alternative rock band formed in 1985 in Buffalo, New York by guitarist/vocalist John Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac. They are perhaps most famous for the hit "Iris", featured on the soundtrack to the 1998 film City of Angels. Currently, the band consists of John Rzeznik (guitar, vocals), Robby Takac (vocals, bass) and Mike Malinin (drums).
Early in their career, the Goo Goo Dolls were frequently dismissed by critics as mere imitators of the The Replacements; however, the band refined and mainstreamed their sound enough to become one of the most popular adult alternative rock bands of the latter half of the '90s, selling millions of records to audiences largely unfamiliar with their inspirations. That's no knock on the band, either — their music simply improved in craft and accessibility as the years progressed, and radio happened to be receptive to what a decade earlier would have been considered collegiate power pop. Thus, the band landed two huge hits with the acoustic ballads "Name" and "Iris."
The Goo Goo Dolls were formed in Buffalo, NY, in 1985 by guitarist/vocalist Johnny Rzeznik and bassist Robby Takac, initially under the name the Sex Maggots (the new name was chosen from an ad in True Detective magazine at the behest of a local club owner). Originally a cover band with a taste for power pop and classic rock & roll, the group soon began writing its own songs. Their early sound recalled the The Replacements' origins as a bratty punk band (circa Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash) — melodic, snotty, and a little bit thrashy. That sound was the reason the band attracted the interest of the heavy metal label Metal Blade, which issued their debut album in 1987 (known either as The Goo Goo Dolls or First Release). 1989's Jed continued in a similar vein; the college radio breakthrough came with 1990's Hold Me Up, a Replacements-ish power pop record.
1993's Superstar Car Wash was the Goo Goo Dolls' artistic breakthrough; though it did nothing to quell the Replacements comparisons, it was a finely crafted pop/rock record, and its lead single, "We Are the Normal," was co-written with Replacements leader Paul Westerberg himself. Still, Superstar Car Wash wasn't the commercial force the band hoped it would be, especially in light of the success of similar bands like the Gin Blossoms. That all changed with 1995's A Boy Named Goo, when an L.A. rock station put the acoustic-driven ballad "Name" into heavy rotation. It was eventually released as a single nationwide, and went Top Five late in the year; platinum sales for the album followed close behind. Unfortunately, the original drummer was no longer around to enjoy the band's success; prior to the album's release, he'd been sacked and replaced by drummer Mike Malinin.
Dissatisfied with the royalty rates in their Metal Blade contract, the band waged a legal battle that wound up allowing them to jump to parent company Warner Brothers. Somewhat drained, Rzeznik and the band shook off a case of writer's block to contribute the ballad "Iris" to the soundtrack of the 1998 americanized version of City of Angels (Featuring Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan). Appearing that April, the song was a monster smash, although it was never released as a single (so its official Top Ten pop chart status doesn't convey how popular it was); for a better indicator, "Iris" spent nearly a year on Billboard's airplay charts, including an astonishing 18 weeks at number one, and was nominated for three Grammys. The band's next album, Dizzy Up the Girl, was released in September, during the middle of "Iris"'s marathon airplay run, and sold over three million copies. Its clean, polished sound completed the Goo Goo Dolls' transformation into mainstream pop/rockers who happened to have alternative roots. Further hits from the record followed over the next year, including "Slide," "Dizzy," and the Grammy-nominated "Black Balloon," and the band toured heavily in support. The Goo Goo Dolls revamped their sound for 2001's career retrospective, Ego, Opinion, Art & Commerce. A year later, the trio hit the charts with "Here is Gone" from their seventh studio album, Gutterflower. The CD/DVD combo Live in Buffalo: July 4, 2004 helped fans endure the long wait for the band's next studio album, Let Love In, which didn't appear until 2006. The band toured through the summer of 2007. The band released the first of two greatest hits compilation, entitled Greatest Hits Volume One: The Singles, November 13th 2007.
In February 2008, the band officially headed into studio to work on their new record.

Two men stole a trailer from a U-haul store earlier this month in Central El Paso in a case that is the Crime of the Week.
The theft, which was filmed by store security cameras, occurred at about 9 p.m. Feb. 17 at the U-haul store at 5606 E. Paisano north of Interstate 10, police said.
The store was closed for the day when two men backed up a pickup to a loading area where trailers were stored, police said. The men found a trailer used to tow cars and quickly attached it to their truck before driving away.
The men were in a light-colored Chevrolet or GMC extended cab pickup.
Anyone with information on the theft may anonymously call Crime Stoppers of El Paso at 566-8477 or leave a tip online at crimestoppersofelpaso.org

|Isolation and Biochemical Characterization of Two Novel Metagenome-Derived Esterases.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23117418 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Environmental DNA from soil and water samples was extracted to construct a plasmid library and a fosmid library containing 19,500 and 20,400 clones, respectively. Two esterases (EstP2K and EstF4K) were finally isolated from each library based on activity screening, and both of them were characterized in this study. The esterase EstF4K consists of 396 amino acids with an SMTK motif which belongs to family VIII esterase/lipase. The amino acid sequence of EstF4K showed 83 % identity with that of EstA3, a reported esterase isolated from uncultured organisms of soil. EstP2K is composed of 224 amino acids in size and shows only 37 % identity with a putative lipase of Neisseria elongata subsp. The purified EstF4K was optimally active at pH 8.0 and 50 °C. It was remarkably active and very stable in the presence of 30 % dimethyl sulfoxide. Activity fingerprint of EstF4K displayed a higher level of activity toward short-chain fatty acid p-nitrophenyl (pNP) esters, while EstP2K preferred bias for pNP caprylate ester. The optimum reaction temperature and pH for EstP2K are 45 °C and 7.5, respectively, and the enzyme exhibited strong tolerance in the presence of 30 % methanol. EstF4K and EstP2K showed opposite enantioselectivity for methyl 3-phenylglycidate, a chiral synthon for the synthesis of Taxol® side chain.
