- Filed Under
The stage is set. After West Branch and West Liberty swept opponents Thursday, the two ranked Cedar Valley Conference leaders will meet Monday in the Bears' gym to decide the league championship. Just like they did a year ago.
The Class 3A No. 5-ranked Comets did their part by sweeping Mid-Prairie, 25-16, 25-4, 25-7, while the Bears defeated Durant.
"We've been scouting them for several weeks," West Liberty coach Melissa Brockway said. "We've been talking about them in practice for several weeks now. I think that we have a decent game plan to go against them. I think it's going to be an ...

The Gettysburg Area School District's board of directors plan to vote at their next meeting on a resolution stating the district will not ask for a tax-hike exception for the 2013-14 school year.
The board held a work session after Monday night's regularly scheduled meeting to discuss the possibility of seeking a tax hike exception, an idea most board members opposed, board president Todd Orner said.
"The prevailing opinion amongst the board members was that we should not go for any exception and that we should stay within the 1.7 percent index," Orner said.
The board intends to vote on the matter Dec. 17. Every school district in the state is assigned an index that represents the amount that taxes can be raised for the next school year, unless an exception is granted. The Gettysburg Area School District's index is 1.7 percent, meaning if the board does not ask for an exception, the district can raise taxes up to 1.7 percent.
The majority of the money the district would receive from a tax increase would go toward the Public School Employees Retirement System (PSERS). At least $312,000 is budgeted to go toward retirement and increasing payroll and benefits for the 2013-14 school year, Orner said.
"The retirement system basically needs more money," he said. "They're doing it by increasing the rates to public school districts. It's all on the local taxpayers' shoulders. The state is doing little to nothing to alleviate the issue.
The Gettysburg Area School District has been putting money aside for PSERS since the 2003-04 school year by budgeting more for the retirement system than was required by law, according to Brad Hunt, the district's business manager.
The board started a fund to level out the financial effects of the PSERS increases. At the beginning of this fiscal year, the fund's balance was $3,753,180, Hunt said.
This will be the first year that the fund will be used toward PSERS.

On The Internet, Everyone Knows You're Not A Dog
Using Facebook is a social skill—and one that it's increasingly important for colleges to teach, says educator Ed Cabellon. "The term 'digital native' is a misnomer," he tells us.
Ed Cabellon is the Director of the Campus Center at Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts, and an expert on the intersection of higher education and social media. As clueless freshmen settle into their first-semester schedules everywhere, we catch up with Ed Cabellon to discuss all the mistakes they're probably making on Facebook.
FAST COMPANY: You're an advocate for teaching about "digital identity."
ED CABELLON: I think it's important for universities and colleges to develop a series of programs that raise awareness of what it means to be living your life online. As someone who's worked in higher education for 15, 16 years, I've seen the evolution of technology, and how it's helped and hindered students.
What are some examples?
There was a situation with a student who had applied for a job. They thought their Facebook posts were private, but in fact all their posts were live, and that apparently had not gotten them interviewed for a position. But on the flip side of that coin, my editor-in-chief of the campus center blog I found through Twitter. She was bitching and complaining about the university on Twitter, and I replied to her—this was back in '09. She went on to be my first blogger and then editor-in-chief, and she's lined up a lot of interviews for jobs in communications and PR all because of that experience.
What are the main lessons students need to learn in developing a digital identity?
The first thing is that Facebook is no longer a reflection of your personal life; it's a reflection of your entire life. I think people need to make a mental shift. Second, if you're going to use Facebook, make sure you know the privacy settings very well. Third, if you're going to use Twitter or another microblogging service, I recommend to use it in a professional manner, not a personal manner. Twitter for me is not a social network; it's an informational network that can be social.
I'm terrible at this stuff. Sometimes I post something to Facebook just imagining my friends, and then someone I barely know "likes" it.
Most people don't create lists, they don't tweak privacy settings. They don't want to look under the hood. They just want the car to work. To me, just taking an hour to sort your friends, unfriend people you don't give a crap about, and if a coworker did friend you, put that person in the coworkers list—so your online relationship reflects your real-life relationship—is a good use of time.
You think our online relationships should mirror our offline relationships. But there's a challenge online—social networks stand to gain financially when we overshare.
We need our awareness raised about what Facebook really is, and it's really a marketing tool. It's a ginormous, huge data mining and marketing operation. And we're freely giving this information out—it's not like our arms are twisted, or that there's a gun to our head. We're all addicted to it. As Facebook has changed, it's become harder to figure that privacy stuff on Facebook out. They don't want you to figure it out, and that's why it's such an important requirement for colleges to take stock and teach students about it. If it weren't for working in higher education, I probably would not be on Facebook. Knowing what I know about how they use data, I would not be on Facebook. But for my students, it's the primary mode of communication.
I came of age with the Internet, and am old enough to remember dial-up modems and the "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog" New Yorker comic. So while I had to slowly learn the importance of being truthful on the Internet, maybe it comes naturally to this generation?
There's been studies on Internet anonymity, who you are online: Are you yourself? Are you a pseudonymous version of yourself? Are you a dog?—that whole concept. What I've seen with students is that most of them are using their real name. But I don't think the next generation is more savvy because there's no formal education on it. The class of 2016 was born in '92 or '93, they've grown up with as much access to online tools as anybody, and they're as clueless as any class that's ever come in. The term "digital native" is a misnomer. "Digital native" is an easy way to capture the idea that these students grew up with not having a landline, with being able to watch TV on demand, with not using the encyclopedia. But in terms of using Facebook and living their social life online, they're not native to that. That's human communication, human behavior. If they're awkward in person, they're probably gonna be awkward online, too.

You know what the best privacy setting for social media is? Don't use social media. I'm 19 and I don't really use anything beyond e-mail, and even then it's only seldom that I bother to check. I'm something of a homebody who doesn't get out much and doesn't care to either; people my age all seem to be doing the stupidest things humanly possible (per the famed quote from Einstein), and putting up pictures all over the damn internet of themselves acting like damn fools. I'm not social-savvy online or off; I'm more of a bookworm who does my work and goes home. Twenty years from now, these kids are going to be blackballed from burger joints for being such idiots in high school and college. Meanwhile, for my lack of Internet sociability, EVERYONE in my graduating class will know that I'm top dog.
Screw Gangnam and Bieber and all the pointless babble, the "friends & trends" of the twit era. My privacy settings range from Howard Hughes to "get off my lawn."
I wonder if a better by-line or more accurate one would have been, "Using social media requires social skills." In either case, Ed is much more than someone pointing out awareness of Facebook privacy settings. Read more about him here: www.edcabellon.com and follow him on Twitter @EdCabellon.
And yet I thought using social media was a compensatory activity for LACK of real-world social skills. Does anyone else see the irony in that Facebook was invented by an obnoxious computer nerd who could never have any real-life friends, so he made up a new definition of the word to exclude real, human intimacy?
So much for Pacino's admonishment of keeping one's friends close and enemies closer. Now there's no such distinction thanks to Zuckyballs the autistic fuck.
Mr. Cabellon is on the right track regarding his concerns over the naivete of the worlds youth when it comes to understanding the ramifications of social networking. The better answer however is to teach students, and the public in general, how to be informed Internet participants, not just good little facebook users.
In the real world we keep all our personal information at home unless it is stored with a trusted confidant like the doctor or a bank. In the real world we wouldn't pass our information through an intermediary we don't trust. I don't know anybody remotely knowledgeable in this area that even remotely trusts facebook. It's widely known facebook treats all of their end users information as their own product. So why is there such emphasis on using facebook at all? Privacy setting and friends list organization skills won't protect the end user from facebook itself, or it's customers actually paying for the service, no matter how constrained they are.
What we need to be teaching in our schools is how to effectively use the Internet as a communication medium outside of the centralized social repositories and maintain control of our precious personal information. This is not just possible, but actually in common practice.
It's time our leaders and teachers alike take the importance securing our communications as seriously as our predecessors did when they secured our mail system and again later our telephone system.
The facebook paradigm of centralizing the processing of our communications through an unregulated and unprotected central authority has been a great functional prototype to demonstrate to the technologically unaware what can be achieved. Now it's time for those who should know better to start moving themselves and the rest of our society towards the more realistic and highly plausible alternatives for long term adoption and recognize this facebook phenomenon short-term experiment escapee from the lab that it is.

The Guidelines for Participation in the ADA's Seal of Acceptance Program are provided for informational purposes only and may be modified at any time. These Guidelines provide a general overview of the ADA Seal of Acceptance Program; they do not govern a company's rights to use the ADA Seal. The ADA Seal of Acceptance is a registered certification mark of the American Dental Association. All rights to use the ADA Seal are governed solely by a separate license agreement between the ADA and the manufacturer or distributor of an Accepted product. The ADA Seal of Acceptance may not be used on or in connection with a product until after it has been granted the Seal of Acceptance by the Council on Scientific Affairs and only after a license agreement has been signed. Upon termination or expiration of the ADA license agreement, regardless of cause, all rights of a company to use the ADA Seal immediately cease.
Products eligible to apply for the ADA Seal are those that have been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for market directly to consumers, regardless of whether the company elects to market the products over-the-counter or exclusively through oral health care professionals. The Council on Scientific Affairs evaluates consumer dental products such as therapeutic agents, drugs, chemicals, materials, instruments, and equipment that are employed in the treatment or prevention of dental disease. In addition, cosmetic agents may also be eligible for the Seal. When evaluating these products the Council utilizes published technical standards, including official ADA guidelines, as well as ANSI/ADA and ISO specifications. Products for which ADA Guidelines or technical standards do not exist may also be evaluated if sufficient acceptable data demonstrating safety and efficacy are submitted. ADA Guidelines and technical standards may be modified at any time. ADA will notify companies of any changes applicable to their products.
Commercial products are evaluated upon the request of a distributor or manufacturer, or upon the initiative of the Council. Any company may submit appropriate products to the Council for consideration for Acceptance. Products which meet the ADA Seal Program's Acceptance general criteria with respect to safety, efficacy, composition, labeling, package inserts, advertising and other promotional material will be granted the ADA Seal of Acceptance. Notification of a product's Acceptance into the ADA's Seal Program will be made in writing by the Council. A company may not begin use of the ADA Seal of Acceptance unless and until it has executed the ADA's standard ADA Seal license agreement and complied with the ADA's advertising requirements. The Council may require a company to use an authorized statement in conjunction with its use of the ADA Seal. Acceptance is renewable and may be reconsidered at any time. If there is a change in the manufacturer or distributor of a product, the Seal of Acceptance is withdrawn automatically and the license agreement expires simultaneously.
Products that are obsolete, substantially inferior, ineffective or dangerous to the health of the user will be declared unaccepted. When it is in the best interest of the public or the profession, the Council may submit reports on unaccepted products to the Editor for publication in The Journal of the American Dental Association or in another Association medium.
Notwithstanding any other provision of these Guidelines, the ADA stopped accepting professional products for evaluation and inclusion in the Acceptance Program on December 31, 2004 and focus instead on a product evaluation newsletter for ADA member dentists covering an entire category of professional products in one article. We launched the newsletter—the Professional Product Review —in July 2006. Phase-out of the Seal on professional products was completed on December 31, 2007.

|Trends in perinatal transmission of HIV/AIDS in the United States.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10450714 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|CONTEXT: Since 1994, the US Public Health Service (PHS) has recommended routine, voluntary prenatal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing and zidovudine therapy to reduce perinatal HIV transmission.
OBJECTIVE: To describe trends in incidence of perinatal AIDS and factors contributing to these trends, particularly the effect of PHS perinatal HIV recommendations.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Analysis of nationwide AIDS surveillance data and data from HIV-reporting states through June 1998.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Trends in AIDS by year of diagnosis, incidence rates of AIDS and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) among infants younger than 1 year from US natality data for birth cohorts 1988 to 1996; expected number of infants with AIDS from national serosurvey data; and zidovudine use data from selected HIV-reporting states.
RESULTS: Perinatal AIDS cases peaked in 1992 and then declined 67% from 1992 through 1997, including an 80% decline in infants and a 66% decline in children aged 1 to 5 years. Rates of AIDS among infants (per 100000 births) declined 69%, from 8.9 in 1992 to 2.8 in 1996 compared with a 17% decline in births to HIV-infected women from 1992 (n = 6990) to 1995 (n = 5797). Among infants, PCP rates per 100000 declined 67% (from 4.5 in 1992 to 1.5 in 1996), similar to the decline in other AIDS conditions. The percentage of perinatally exposed children born from 1993 through 1997 whose mothers were tested for HIV before giving birth increased from 70% to 94%; the percentage who received zidovudine increased from 7% to 91%.
CONCLUSIONS: According to these data, substantial declines in AIDS incidence were temporally associated with an increase in zidovudine use to reduce perinatal HIV transmission, demonstrating substantial success in implementing PHS guidelines. Reductions in the numbers of births and effects of therapy in delaying AIDS do not explain the decline.

The Edinburgh Festival 2012's Funniest Comics Share Their New Jokes!
The sheer utter amazingness of the Edinburgh Festival – which started last week – doesn't take a lot of explaining.
Basically, it's the country's finest comedians performing in a series of random locations across a city where you can drink 24 hours a day. For one whole month.
With that in mind, we thought we would celebrate this mammoth event by getting seven of our favourite stand-up comedians – all of whom are doing brand new shows in the Scottish capital this month – together in a pub for a few beers.
Needless to say, when they started telling us what it is that makes the Festival so great/bizarre/exhausting, there was a fair bit of laughter…
The Edinburgh Festival's Funniest Comics!
The Edinburgh Festival is held between 2-27 August 2012. For more info, head over to edfringe.com

Smash-and-grab hits Ohio Apple Store; new Detroit site soon?
updated 11:55 am EDT, Mon May 9, 2011
Glass facades proving inherent vulnerability
Apple's Crocker Park retail store in Westlake, Ohio was hit by a smash-and-grab robbery on Friday morning, reports say. Surveillance video obtained by police shows three people smashing the front doors at about 4:30AM, which set off an alarm. The suspects were already gone in a minute however, having managed to take 24 notebooks and a lone iPod.
Smash-and-grabs have become a growing problem at Apple Stores. The worst incident was one in Chula Vista, California in early April, which erupted in a firefight leading to the death of one of the suspects. The standardized layout of Apple Stores is thought to be partly to blame; glass facades make it easier to break in, and once inside expensive goods are conveniently laid out on tables.
In Detroit, meanwhile, WXYZ TV says that Quicken Loans owner Dan Gilbert has been talking with Apple's retail team about the prospect of a downtown location. The shop would be based in the ground level of Chase Tower, a 14-story building formerly home to banking offices. Talks are said to be related to efforts to revitalize Detroit's core by moving suburban workers into the area. For Apple the site might have two advantages: it would be the company's first downtown site, and Chase Tower's retail space already employs the glass facades Apple prefers.

April 25, 2011, 8:00 PDT -- SEBASTOPOL -- APMEX, the American Precious Metals Exchange, has initiated reverse inquiries to all of its precious metal buyers offering to buy back silver and gold at above spot price. This means one of two things. Either APMEX is desperate to cover short positions or to conceal the fact that it has no physical metal to deliver.
This is a big market move and a signal that APMEX and many others see Fukushima's impact on the global economy, our civilization, and the Old Paradigm. Put another way, they see pm's going absurdly hot very shortly which is exactly what I have written about consistently for over a decade. This fits with my analysis predicting immediate (there is no better term) apocalyptic events. Having left a record of maybe three million words I have never used that word before.
What I have said consistently in many university lectures in seven countries over nine years is that we will certainly see $2,000, $5,000 and maybe even $10,000 gold. And in the same breath I usually shuddered and said, "But when that happens we will not recognize the world we live in anymore."
A great many people have criticized the fact that I had predicted $2,000 gold by the end of last year. (Ted Williams only had to bat .400 to be the best in baseball. Did major league pitchers stop fearing him when he struck out?) Well, if we see $2,000 gold in May then I missed it by five months... I also missed the 2008 crash by about a year and a half. The film "Collapse" by Chris Smith was a success because of the fact that I so accurately predicted the events... not because I missed that date. The most important thing I got absolutely right was that $2,000 gold was actually coming. That was and remains the essential point here. Few believed me when I first said that gold might break $500 in 2001... My guess is that silver may well blast through $100.
This is assuredly connected to China's official announcement that it intends to sell $2 Trillion of USD holdings [see the April 24th story below]. And why might China be deciding to dump now?... A caveman could see that -- come July -- the markets are toast, nobody will be able to afford oil, the derivatives will implode, more than a billion people will not have enough money to eat and -- as I said in "Collapse" -- "Everything will just shut down".
And then everything will blow up.
That is the world I described in "Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American empire at the End of the Age of Oil" in 2004. That is the world we are living in today. The book is in the Harvard Business School library.
As I said in my last video alert, it should all happen by July. The emerging stories about corporate production and earnings are really frightening and they are emerging globally at an accelerating pace, from Europe, to South Africa, to China and here in the U.S. We bring them to you every day on the World News Desk.

Carl Bidleman made his first attempt at buying insurance under the new health-care law at midnight Tuesday, the moment the marketplaces opened, but couldn't get the website to load. He called a customer service center, where a representative suggested trying again in the morning.
So he did, at 8 a.m., after walking his dog and brewing a cup of coffee. And again that afternoon. And that evening.
Twenty-one attempts and 36 hours later, Bidleman managed to buy a health insurance policy.
"I went out right after and got some beer at the store before going back to work," said Bidleman, a 63-year-old video editor from San Francisco. "I had to take a moment and celebrate finally getting this done."
Since the health insurance marketplaces launched Oct. 1, long waits and frozen computer screens have plagued shoppers trying to get a first glimpse of the new options. The Department of Health and Human Services says the websites are overloaded and that it has scrambled to increase capacity by adding servers and assigning additional engineers to the project.
Many shoppers have thrown in the towel -- at least for the foreseeable future.
But then there are the marathon shoppers, who have made more than a dozen attempts to buy coverage and have no intention of stopping until they succeed.
"Morning, afternoon, evening," said Brian Morgan, a 31-year-old IT manager from outside St. Louis, of the times he has tried the marketplace. "I've tried a few times and gotten to different stages. I'll probably try to keep doing it once a day."
"I usually try and log on before bed and it will say the site is overloaded, but it will save your place in line," said Shara Connors, a 44-year-old Pennsylvania woman who estimates that she has made 25 attempts to sign up. "So I leave my computer on overnight, get up at 6 a.m. and see if I've gotten any further.
"I'm nothing," Connors said, "if not persistent."
The dogged efforts to sign up quickly are unnecessary: Any coverage purchased on the marketplace will not take effect until Jan. 1. Practically speaking, there's no difference between buying a health plan on Oct. 1 or Dec. 1.
But as with the launch of any new gadget or movie, there is always a small crowd that sees value in being first.
"If you're first in line, you're trying a product where the value isn't totally clear," said Jonah Berger, a marketing professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and author of "Contagious: Why Things Catch On." "At the same time, you seem cool to have access to something no one else has. It's just like when a new restaurant opens. There's a social cache to be someone who navigated the exchanges."
Some, like Bidleman, consider themselves strong supporters of the health-care law. They see an early purchase as partially ideological, a way to show the world that people want to enroll in the hotly disputed Affordable Care Act programs.
Your guide to the
Affordable Care Act.
"We were involved in the Kerry campaign," Bidleman said of himself and his wife, to describe his politics. "I've been waiting for this, and once I sign up, the numbers will start to add up. People will start seeing there's a demand for this."
Bidleman completed the process Wednesday afternoon. He bought a health plan that he estimates is about $700 cheaper than the product he bought on the individual market.
"You see this again and again, and you're sort of like Pavlov's dog, expecting the same thing to happen," he said. "Then the page loads and you can celebrate, you actually bought this."
Others, like Jon Tucci, wanted to get the shopping squared away as soon as possible.
"I'm an advance guy," said the 60-year-old West Virginia resident who logged onto healthcare.gov at midnight Tuesday. "I like to get things done early.
Tucci spent about an hour trying to enroll but couldn't get past a log-in screen, and gave up around 1 a.m. He was back at it at 6 a.m. to try and sign up before work. After a 45-minute call to the customer service center got disconnected, he gave up and headed to work.
On Wednesday, Tucci was back at it. "I tried yesterday about 10 a.m. and then I tried about 2 p.m. and then about 8 p.m.," he said. "I get the message that everybody else gets: Please be patient."
Opponents of the health law also found themselves playing the waiting game, including Anthony Wilson, a self-described conservative who says there isn't much that government can do better than private industry.
Still, he figured that "the government doesn't undo much once they jump into something. We have to live with it and make the best of it, what we can."
So early Tuesday, the 55-year-old engineer from Indiana logged on to healthcare.gov in hopes of finding out what he might have to pay next year under the law. No luck. He tried again every few hours Tuesday, and again Wednesday morning after checking his email, and again later when he had a break in the work day.
Each time, he got hung up when the system said to hold tight and keep the page open, lest he lose his place in line. He kept the page open for more than two hours before getting an error message indicating that the attempt had failed.
Wilson estimated that he tried getting on about 20 times since Tuesday morning, including at least twice Wednesday. He isn't frustrated -- yet. "It's kind of comical at this point. I just try it and laugh and go on."

Not the best, but not the worst I've ever tried. Didn't seem to do much for my hair, so I returned it. There are many other products that work so much better for my hair.
You gotta believe these reviews!! This line is simply amazing. I cant believe there is actually a product that will condition without dumping waxes and heaviness on my doo. My hair is 3 a-b fine texture, and this is simply awesome. Hair is soft, managable, bouncy, moisturized and shiny! I blow out my hair more in winter months, and this is great for straight as well as curly. My curls look so amazing and alive. Not sticky but bouncy and healthy! LOVE THIS STUFF!!
At first I thought this was a gimmick but it does work. Usually when I wake up my hair is frizzy and standing on ends but not with this. I use it with the magnetic styling gel. It pulls some of the curl out, which I like, and really moistuizes well. I like it because I can get it locally. It is also great for using as a wash; it has a small lather to it.
Flippin amazing!!!!!!! This has been my daily conditioner for over 6 months now and it has yet to fail me. It creates such soft and manageable results out of my unruly, dense 3c hair. My comb just glides right through my hair when this is in my hair. It doesn't contain a heavy amount of protein nor is it very oily, so when I need a product like that I use Miss Jessie's Rapid Recovery (never more than once a week though). Fantastic results every time. I definitely recommend trying this product, but buy it and other Giovanni prods at vitacost.com for 1/2 the price.

Plantservative WSr ( Honeysuckle )
Plantservative is fully active liquid preservative isolated from herb, namely Lonicera japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle) and is suitable for the antimicrobial protection of cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.
The following advantages of Plantservative are emphasized:
* Broad spectrum antimicrobial activities - Plantservative exhibits rapid, microbicidal activity against Gram -negative bacteria, as well as Gram Positive bacteria, yeasts, and molds.
Suitable concentrations (>2.5%) show rapid, bactericidal activity, even against such species as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is resistant to many synthetic preservatives and is a frequent contamination of preparations in the tropical and semi- tropical countries.
* Easy incorporation-being a liquid, miscible with many organic solvents, surfactants and emulsifiers. Plantservative is easily incorporated into the materials to be preserved.
* Good compatibility- Plantservative is chemically inert and therefore compatible with the majority or types of chemical compounds. At the correct concentrations, it maintains strong, extensive efficiency in the presence of such materials as proteins, gums, anionic and maintains its antimicrobial activities in acidic, neutral, and mildly alkaline pH conditions.
Plantservative does not cause any changes in color or odor to the final products, and this is very particularly important in cosmetic preparations.
Non- volatile-Plantservative is non- volatile and there should be no loss of preservative activities from the product, even after prolonged exposure to air or in storage.
High Stability-Plantservative remains fully stable over a wide permittance range of pH and temperature range. There is no significant degradation of Plantservative when strongly heated in the pH range 3-8. Aqueous solution of Plantservative will without detriment to the preservation activities.
* Low toxicity-a comprehensive toxicological data on plantservative has been shown to be that this plant extract with preservative activities has low toxicity, (oral LD50 for rats is 1.55ml/kg of body weight) being totally non-irritant to skin, eye, and mucous membranes at suggested concentrations. Plantservative has been shown to be devoid of skin sensitizing effects.
* Fully biodegradable at the extremely dilute conditions as found in the effluents, Plantservative is biodegradable and thus presents no pollution hazard.
* Other advantages-Plantservatives has perfume fixative properties and thus increases the "increase in the retention time of volatile perfumes in end products". This natural preservative does not contain formaldehyde and is not a formaldehyde-donor.

Camp Aldersgate's Hat Day fundraiser | Events
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) – Through the efforts and enthusiasm of one, dedicated youth volunteer the City of Bryant, AR will hold a "Hat Day" fundraiser on Friday, December 7th for Camp Aldersgate. Participants will pay one dollar for the privilege to wear a hat to work or school. Proceeds from this event will be given to Camp Aldersgate.
Riley Hall, age 18, is a senior at Bryant High School. Due to a health issue, he has had to give up sports activities. He began to look for ways to fill the void that was left. His mother suggested he should volunteer at Camp Aldersgate and he quickly became involved. Riley volunteered at Camp Aldersgate for the first time this past summer. Riley volunteered for 4 weeks of summer camp totaling 508 hours since June 2012. Riley was then hired on as a counselor for his 5th week of summer camp, and has already worked several weekend Respite camps this Fall. Riley says, "I found out there's life after sports. These children [at Camp Aldersgate] are in wheel chairs; they are dealing with cancer, and suffering from mental disabilities. Camp [Aldersgate] helped make these children feel special and helped them to do simple daily activities I took for granted. Sports isn't everything anymore!" Read more about Riley's story here: http://www.wyzant.com/scholarships/v3/essay62793-Bryant-AR.aspx
Riley's heartfelt and inspiring story led City of Bryant Mayor Jill Dabbs to encourage all city employees to also participate in the "Hat Day" fundraiser. The following departments have committed to participating; Fire, Police, Public Works, Code Enforcement, Water Department, Animal Control and City Hall. Bryant Mayor Jill Dabbs, "When leaders, young or old like Riley Hall take off with a vision to improve the quality of life for others we should rally around them with a spirit of unity to insure great success." The 8 participating schools are as follows: Bryant High School, Bryant Middle School, Bethel Middle School, Bryant Elementary, Collegeville Elementary, Salem Elementary, Springhill Elementary and Hurricane Creek Elementary.
Located on 120 acres in west Little Rock, Camp Aldersgate, is a non-profit organization that creates life-changing experiences for individuals with special needs, enabling them to expand their world and express their unique voice. It is the only camp of its kind in Arkansas designed for children with disabilities and accredited by the American Camp Association. Camp Aldersgate provides a camping environment that encourages normalcy, socialization, and inclusiveness to persons with diverse abilities and needs. By offering accessible facilities and programs that are both exciting and rewarding, Camp Aldersgate strives to help every camper, young and old, have the most positive experience they can.

The Hungarian Grand Prix is just around the corner, with teams and drivers eager to go into the summer break with a strong result.
Following a dramatic qualifying session on Saturday, which saw Lewis Hamilton make a fiery exit from Q1, could today's main event throw up a few shocks and surprises? We certainly hope so.
The Brit will be starting from the pit lane after chassis, gearbox and engine changes, with his team-mate lining up at the very front of the field for the sixth time in 2014. Sebastian Vettel will start in second place, with Valtteri Bottas lining up in third.
Daniel Ricciardo was fourth fastest in qualifying, with Fernando Alonso sixth and Jenson Button seventh for Ferrari and McLaren respectively. Jean-Eric Vergne, Nico Hulkenberg and Daniil Kvyat will complete the top 10 on the grid.
Kevin Magnussen was 10th in qualifying but chassis and gearbox changes following his heavy Q3 crash at turn one means he will also start from the pit lane and ahead of Hamilton.
Pirelli is expecting low tyre degradation on both the medium and soft compounds, with a three-stop race being the fastest way to go if it takes place in dry conditions However, a short but sharp rain shower arrived just under an hour before the start, so we could well see our first wet race of the season.
It should hopefully be an action-packed and exciting race at the Hungaroring, with several drivers starting out of position and the wet weather.
Throughout the race, Richland F1 will be providing live commentary via its Twitter account. You can follow @RichlandF1 here.
In the UK, the race will be live on Sky Sports F1. The German Grand Prix itself gets underway at 13:00 BST, with highlights being shown on BBC One at 17:10pm today.
In the United States you can watch the race live on CNBC, with coverage starting at 7:30am ET ahead of the race start at 8:00. It will also be streamed online here.

Electronic Arts
EA Games slapped on the wrist over no-refunds policy4:20AM | Tuesday, 28 April
The world's third largest developer of video games has been slapped on the wrist by the Australian competition watchdog for potentially misleading customers about their right to a refund. Electronic Arts, which runs the Origin video game distribution platform, has acknowledged its representations to consumers about refunds may have breached Australian consumer law. From January 2012, EA said in its terms and conditions and through customer support representatives that Australians were not entitled to any refunds for digitally downloaded video games purchased through Origin. As a result of action from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, EA has agreed to amend its terms and conditions and will implement a compliance program with risk assessment measures put in place along with staff training. In addition, the company has provided a court enforceable undertaking to the competition watchdog promising not to tell customers it has a 'no refunds' policy. ACCC chairman Rod Sims said in a statement businesses selling downloadable goods should not avoid their legal responsibilities. "It is a breach of the Australian Consumer Law for businesses to state that customers are not entitled to refunds under any circumstances," he said. "Where a product has a major failure, consumers can insist on a refund or replacement at their choice. Representations that this right has or can be excluded, restricted or modified are false or misleading." Last financial year Electronic Arts earned more than $US3.5 billion in net revenue, up 27% from the previous corresponding period. A spokesperson for EA Games Australia says the company is pleased to have worked cooperatively with the ACCC to resovle its concerns and ensure its players in Australia "have the best possible experience when purchasing and playing EA games". "In addition to rights available to our players under the Australian Consumer Law, we are also proud to offer our global, industry-leading Great Game Guarantee for digital returns within certain timeframes if anyone is not satisfied with a digitally-downloaded game from EA," the spokesperson says.

THE NEWS WRAP: Developers say new Gmail app will expand upon regular email capabilities10:30PM | Wednesday, 22 October
The new Gmail app, Inbox, is not just an email app, according to its developers. Inbox is being released as an invite-only system that works on the Chrome browser, Android phones, and iPhones. It's still a Gmail app, but instead of giving its users the traditional lists of emails, it tries to intelligently give you more information so you don't even have to open them. Google Now-style information cards appear in line with the message list and include things like flight times, package tracking and photos. It also tries to bundle emails into groups that you can quickly dismiss. Former EA CEO takes over at Unity Unity founder and chief executive officer David Helgason is stepping aside to let former Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello take over the job, VentureBeat reports. Unity is a company that makes game-creation tools for developers. Helgason says not much will change at Unity and he believes Riccitiello is the right person for the job. "I will be heavily involved in the company's direction," Helgason says. "(Riccitiello) is the right person to help guide the company to the mission that we set ourselves over a decade ago: democratize game development. "John completely agrees with our vision and our strategy. If anything it means that we'll be more focused than ever about making sure everyone has access to the best technology and services." Twitter releases new developer toolkit Twitter has unveiled Fabric, a new developer toolkit with software products to help build better third-party apps. Fabric was showcased by Twitter executives in San Francisco at the social media giant's first mobile developers conference, Flight.

Melbourne game developer's nine years of hard work about to pay dividends7:49AM | Thursday, 24 July
Nine years of hard work will soon pay off for a Melbourne-based entrepreneur who is on track to launch a racing simulator in early 2015. KartSim is an online kart racing game for PC, Xbox and PlayStation 4. Founder Zach Griffin told StartupSmart he has always had an interest in racing games, but is more interested in the development side rather than playing them. "I was always a fan of Formula One growing up," he says. "In 2004 I started racing karts at a professional level at the same time as commencing a degree on game development. One of the projects was to create your own game. It merged the two interests I had and KartSim came out of it." However, the journey hasn't been an easy one. Griffin says go-karts are far more difficult to simulate than race cars, which is why there aren't many go-kart games. "The physics around them is immensely difficult," he says. "If you look at any other racing game out there like Gran Turismo or Forza, their core value proposition is to allow a player to drive a car they wouldn't necessarily experience in real life. However, the actual racing experience is quite bland. You have a corner perhaps every ten seconds, where in KartSim it is a lot more intense – you are flying through a corner every 2-3 seconds and driving at speeds of up to 150 kilometres an hour just 18 millimetres off the ground." In a show of extreme patience and dedication, it has taken Griffin two years to get the physics behind KartSim just right. In that time he had to read countless academic white papers on the physics of tyres and engines and apply those equations in a real-time gaming environment. "Resilience and persistence pays off," he says. "I think really it's about learning how to work with yourself and it's incredibly import that whenever you have a small victory you celebrate and psych yourself up for the next bit." Griffin founded his own game development company, Black Delta, in 2012. He says the startup ecosystem in Melbourne – particular for the gaming sector – is growing. "Melbourne has always been a hub for the development of racing games," he says. "The studio environment in Melbourne is beginning to grow again after it took a hit from the GFC." In 2011 Melbourne-based independent gaming company Firemonkeys Studios was bought by Electronic Arts for an undisclosed amount. Since then it has gone on to develop successful racing games such as Real Racing 3. "It is a tight knit group and people are very supportive," says Griffin. "It's good to see that startup mentality and spirit that America has always had moving towards Melbourne." Last month Griffin's business won the people's choice award at an event called The Big Pitch in Melbourne, beating 250 other applicants. "It was great to connect with other people and entrepreneurs that were there," he says. Griffin is the sole founder and points out that in his experience, it is critical entrepreneurs who are going it alone speak to other people who are going through the same thing. "Go reach out," he says. "Entrepreneurship is by its nature reasonably isolating. It's not a path where everyone else around you understands why you are doing it." Griffin is currently in discussions with potential investors and says he expects the game to be released in March next year.

Over priced but worth it on a rare occasion, food is always delicious and the desserts are top notch
Loved it
Great food. Very generous portions. Just remember to save room for pie. It definitely lives up to its reputation.
Good value. Great service. Excellent food.
Gray Brothers is the place to go for colossal comfort food in the Indianapolis area, from mountainous mac & cheese to mouth-watering meat loaf and delicious pies. As seen on Man v Food.
get the fried chicken!
Strawberry pies! The best around!!!!
If you like eating at the nursing home, you'll love it here!!
Best fried chicken in Indiana and chocolate pie to die for
Black people sit in the back, damn this place is white.
Grays is one of my top 10 places to eat of all time. It is simply the best
The delicious hysteria of having to choose among so much good-looking food is a state of mind known to cognoscenti as cafeteria anxiety.
Best fried chicken in the world!
The chocolate pie is one of the best things in earth.

It's tough for a documentary to make its case when it's part of the problem it criticizes.
Like Morgan Spurlock's other films, including "Super Size Me," "The Greatest Movie Ever Sold" makes him the face of a first-person investigation. Here, he's looking at the extent to which we are marketed to during every moment we're awake. The joke that blunts the impact of the movie is that Spurlock's film is jam-packed with product placement and endorsements (its full title is "Pom Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold"). In fact, most of the movie shows Spurlock hustling for sponsors and advertisers while sharing pomegranate juice with such pundits as Ralph Nader and Noam Chomsky.
Here's my beef with Spurlock: I think he's an engaging performer, and I could see him as host of a talk show or a program like his late, lamented TV project, "30 Days." But I don't think he's especially gifted as a filmmaker. Aside from the fact that the nonstop ads in "Sold" add to our visual clutter, I also don't think they're especially well done, nor is Spurlock's argument trenchant. At one point, he marvels, "It's pretty amazing to see behind the curtain, as we have in this film." But we haven't. Nothing in "Sold" will be new to anyone who has any interest in marketing or who has ever spent a minute on a busy street (i.e., anyone who will go to this film).
I'm exaggerating a bit.
Directed by: Morgan Spurlock
Rated: PG-13, for language
Should you go? You'll be diverted, but don't expect to be blown away. **1/2

Ben Rhydding is a Wharfedale village in the City of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. It is part of the Ilkley urban area and civil parish.
It is situated on a north-facing valley beneath the Cow and Calf rocks and above and to the south of the River Wharfe, and falls within the historic West Riding of Yorkshire.
The former name for the village area was Wheatley. In the 19th century it was noted for a popular and thoroughly equipped hydropathic establishment, opened in about 1844[1][2] at a cost of £30,000.[3] It was the third major hydropathic establishment in England, "perhaps the most deeply respected and certainly the longest-lived".[4] Ben Rhydding, the name given to the establishment was also given to the railway station built to serve it and by which the village subsequently became known, is allegedly the ancient name of the uplands above Wheatley. In a 1900 history of Upper Wharfedale, a footnote describes the circumstances, citing Collyer's History of Ilkley:
Dr. Collyer writes that when Ben Rhydding was building, and the founders were casting about for a name, the matter came up in the "pint-pot parliament", which had sat at the Wheat Sheaf in Ilkley time out of mind. Mr. Hamer Stansfeld (the founder) wanted "a good an ancient name", and was particularly wishful to know what the upland was called in the old times on which Ben Rhydding is built. Nancy Wharton, our hostess, said she knew, and gave us the name Ben (not Bean) Rydding. It had passed out the common memory, but had survived by some good hap in Nancy's mind, and it was from this little seed the name sprang again which has become famous.[5]
Ben Rhydding is nowadays a predominantly residential area of Ilkley, served by a railway station, pub, two petrol stations, two churches and a few basic shops but relying in the main on the town for shopping and civic facilities. A picturesque nine hole golf course remains as a legacy of the hydropathic hotel. The village is well within the travel to work area of Bradford and Leeds.

This is her second bike. It's a 16". When she stops she can reach the ground with her tiptoes. I can adjust the seat down a hair but not much. She was much too big for her toddler bike so I had to jump up to the 16" even though she maybe wasn't just ready for it. She is about to turn 6. My 4 year old son is as tall as her though... but don't get me wrong. My daughter is average height. My son is just VERY tall for his age.
The training wheels that came on the bike factory bent over time as I had them raised up to let her teeter. This turned out very badly because they bent so much that she would just ride around leaning to one side all the time instead of learning to keep the bike upright. When she would turn quickly, it would fall to the other side (very dangerous as sometimes this would cause a crash). For sake of safety I took them completely off. We tried to teach her to ride by spending about 2 hours with her at the school behind our house on flat pavement but to no avail. She refused to get back on her bike for about a month.
Two days ago we all went out riding and was trying to get her to ride again. She tried for about 45 minutes and just gave up. She seems to be balancing the bike okay (although she doesn't know it) until she realizes daddy isn't holding the bike anymore. She won't pedal either. This caused a lot of emotional anguish on her I'm sure as she was crying saying "I don't want a bike anymore. I hate it". Being the softy dad I am I went and bought new training wheels that were stronger than the stock ones. I installed them and we went riding for about an hour yesterday. She didn't want to stop!
I know some will say I did wrong by going backwards and putting training wheels on her bike again but the old ones were worse because they were bent so badly. I want to get her happy about riding again and try again. How long should I wait before I try again? Any suggestions on me getting her to understand that when you stop pedaling you'll eventually stop and fall over?
She bailed quite a few times and let the bike crash down. I told her that was good but that she didn't have to bail everytime as she could save some of them by just putting her feet down.

Igor Sijsling vs Marcel Granollers Pick and Prediction – 2015 ATP Zagreb
55th ranked Spaniard Marcel Granollers will play 100th ranked Dutchman Igor Sijsling...
St Louis Rams rookie Tavon Austin was one of the most electrifying players in college football in his time with Geno Smith and the West Virginia Mountaineers. He was one the toughest receivers to cover for any defense. He was also a very dangerous return specialists who was a threat on any punt or kick return. He also helped the West Virginia offense become of the most explosive and dangerous offenses in college football. He was arguably the fastest player in college football who also had the ability to evade defenders and gain yardage after contact. He finished his career with the Mountaineers catching 288 passes for 4, 568 yards and 49 touchdowns. He also ran the ball for 110 for 1033 yards and six touchdowns averaging 9.4 yards a carry. Furthermore, he was a First-team All- American and the Big East Specials Teams Player of the Year in 2011 and 2012.
Unfortunately for Tavon Austin, he has struggled in his first season with the St. Louis Rams and has yet to live up to the hype surrounding him. He has only caught 31 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns on eight games played this season. He also ran for only 10 yards on four attempts averaging only 2.5 yards per carry. The 8th overall pick is off to a surprisingly slow start for a Rams offense that desperately needs his contributions. The Rams have a weak offense which is ranked 20th in the league in passing and 24th in rushing yards per game. The rookie has a lot of potential and has the talent to take the league by storm. His is way too talented to not make in impact offensively for the Rams. As the weeks progress, he is getting less opportunities on the field and spends much more time on the sidelines. Tavon Austin has to step up for the Rams and realize his potential.
