Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us, as we review Weight Watchers International's performance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010.
After a very difficult first quarter, our second quarter business results improved significantly as we began to see strengthening in our NACO meetings business and robust growth in our WeightWatchers.com business. While we're not yet seeing consistent growth across all of our markets, the trends we're now seeing are far superior to those of Q1 and which we're experiencing the combined impact of the economy, weather, and less than effective marketing.
The NACO and WeightWatchers.com businesses both responded very well to the newly launched marketing campaign with an almost instantaneous uplift on enrollment trends beginning on April 1st. On a constant currency basis, Q2 revenues were a modest 1.8%, with meeting fees effectively flat, in-meeting product sales down 1%, Internet revenues growing over 20%, and other revenues declining 7%. This overall increase in revenue compares favorably to the 4.5% revenue decline we experienced in Q1.
From a volume perspective, combined global online and meetings paid weeks grew by about 8% in the second quarter versus the prior year. Global paid weeks in our meetings were up about 1% versus the prior year quarter while paid weeks for Weight Watchers online were up a robust 22%. Again, this was a substantial improvement versus the paid week's trend we saw in Q1 in both the meetings and WeightWatchers.com business.
Q2 2010 EPS was $0.73 compared to $0.76 for the same period in 2009.
I will now briefly review our results in our major geographies and business units. First, our North American meetings business. Total NACO revenues were a $196 million in Q2, effectively flat versus the same period in 2009. This compares favorably to the 8% declined we experienced in Q1. NACO meeting fees declined by 1% versus prior, while in-meeting product sales grew by 5%.
NACO Q2 2010 paid weeks were down 2% versus the prior year period as compared to the negative 8% trends in Q1. Q2 attendances were down 5%, which was a market improvement from the minus 16% trend we observed in Q1.
As noted on the previous earnings call, Q1 enrollments were extremely soft due to a combination of factors, including the lack of program news, the sale marketing campaign, and unprecedented weather conditions. The January through March period is traditionally the largest enrollment period of the year for our business.
Meaning, that our week enrollments in Q1 resulted in very weak attendances in paid weeks levels as we ended Q1. This effectively put us in the hole that was difficult to climb out of this, we moved through our seasonally lighter and normal periods like in the year.
On April 1st, our North America team launched new marketing campaigns that starts to tap into the voice of our members in a new and compelling way. In the case of the NACO meetings business, this campaign heavily featured our new spokesperson Jennifer Hudson in a fully integrated PR and advertising campaign. We saw a median improvement in the enrollment activities of our business, which were sustained through the second quarter. Perhaps most importantly, NACO saw a significant improvement in its never-member (ph) enrollment trends, the first of weakness for us in recent years.

I originally built my website in Moonfruit, which is flash based and therefore far from ideal, but I know NOTHING about code and it seemed like the option to go for, as it's really easy - you just move things about on the editing screen and upload graphics and pictures until it looks how you want it to.
Now, I'd like to start over, and WordPress has lots of lovely things written about it.
BUT, I really don't understand how themes work. To what extent are they customisable? I need an ecommerce theme (doesn't have to be free) that I can customise to build a website that looks exactly the same as my existing one (www.laurengrace.co.uk - but it only works on a pc - not mobile or tablet) but I can't seem to find a theme that looks the same. If I picked a frame such as one of these: http://splashingpixels.com/ could I change all the page layouts to make it look like my existing site for example?
Sorry for the long post, I'm just really struggling with how WordPress works.
Any book recommendations that would help me understand also greatly appreciated.

At the end of CD Projekt Red's teaser trailer for Cybrepunk 2077 there was a very curious message displayed in one of the last frames. "See what else CD Projekt Red is up to More info on the 5th of Feb."
But what esle have they been up. Logic would suggesst that they are talking about their other project currently in devlopment that their blog refers to as "RPG in a dark fantasy World."
Now its safe to say that The Witcher series certainly fits this bill but what gives more credibility to thoughts that this reveal is going to be for a third entry in the series is a job advertised on the site for a writer for their RPG in a dark fantasy World. One of the requirements for the posiion is " Knowledge of Andrzej Sapkowski's novels and fantasy genre." Andrzej Sapkowski is the writer of the original series of short stories that the Witcher series is adapted from.
Third and finally come comments from one of the Team at CD Projekt speaking on reddit just after the trailers relase stating; "We are about the reveal our other project which is much closer to being completed and yes, it will also be a fully open-world game with an intense story. You can probably guess the game we're talking about :-) On the 5th of February it will all be clear."
Yes we do know what you're talking about. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink and i for one can't blummin wait.

A few basic troubleshooting steps can help you test your Internet connection.
- Filed Under
Question: I think my Internet connection is down, but I'm not sure. How can I tell that it's not just me?
Answer: I suspect a great many Time Warner Cable subscribers were asking variations of this question when the No. 2 cable-Internet service in the U.S. suffered a massive outage across the country caused by a configuration mistake.
My first move when I think my own connection has dropped is to swear at the computer, then furiously click the "reload" button in my browser, then maybe shake my fist at the screen in futility. That rarely works for me, and I don't suggest you try it either. ...

Can U.S. schools adopt education practices of top-performing nations?
Nick Geranios, Associated Press
Beverly Hills, California is famous for many things, not the least of which is its public schools. The Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) is one of the top performing districts in California, and the country. In recent state and national reading and math assessments, the district's students scored in the 80th percentile.
BHUSD students' performance on international assessments is less than impressive. Its students rank in the 53 percentile in mathematics and reading when compared to countries such as Finland, China, Korea and Canada. Poor performance on international exams isn't just a problem in Beverly Hills. Although Americans spend 50 percent more on education than other industrialized nations, they score 23rd in science, 17th in reading and 31st in mathematics of a total of 34 nations, according to data collected by Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a Paris-based group that conducts international education comparisons.
American students' lackluster performance on international exams raises concern among economists and policymakers who argue that the U.S. needs to raise its grades or risk economic stagnation. "It is an undeniable fact that countries who out-educate us today are going to out-compete us tomorrow," said President Obama at a White House event last September. Obama's statement is based on the idea that "a greater amount of of educational attainment indicates more skilled and more productive workers, who in turn increase the economy's output of goods and services," said Robert Barro, professor of economics at Harvard University.
In the last ten years, attempts to improve American education have focused on teacher accountability through the high stakes testing mandated by No Child Left Behind (NCLB). This strategy appears to have had little impact on student performance, however. Since NCLB was implemented in 2002, American performance has actually decreased. American students ranked 18th in mathematics in 2000 but fell to 31st place in 2009, according to OECD data.
Increasingly there is a push to ditch high stakes testing in favor of the educational strategies used by top performing countries. "To the extent that the U.S. can copy or adapt, and beg, borrow and steal successful practice from other nations, we should do so," said Secretary of education Arne Duncan at an event sponsored by the National Center on Education and Economy in Washington in 2011.
While different countries have different approaches to and attitudes about education, there are things that all high performing countries do. Two of these are paying teachers well and keeping students in school longer.
Some object to these proposals on the basis of cost: adding more school days and paying teachers more will cost states money they don't have. Other objections to the idea of borrowing the practices of other countries are more philosophical. Americans have different cultural values from many top performing countries which may limit the transferability of their techniques, according to James Stigler, professor of psychology at UCLA.
Teach like a champion
Top performing countries share particular attitudes and characteristics, according to U.N. education analyst Edward Fiske. First among these is a national commitment to education, said Fiske. National commitment to education manifests in the way nations recruit and pay teachers, UCLA's Stigler says.
Unlike American teachers who come from the bottom 30 percent of their university classes, in Finland admission to education programs is competitive. Successful completion of a teacher training course is no guarantee of a job, however. There is under a 10 percent acceptance rate into the profession. The situation is similar in Korea. Elementary education majors are recruited from the top 5 percent of their high school classes, according to the Center for International Benchmarking in Education. Moreover, only 30 percent of secondary school teaching candidates in Korea are able to find jobs.

New Efficiency Record For Photovoltaic Cells – Thanks To Heterojunction
Using amorphous and monocristalline silicon together, EPFL team achieved an astounding 22.4 percent efficiency
In the medium term, an investment of only $2500 in photovoltaic cells would suffice to provide more than enough electricity for the consumption of a four people household. This promising scenario has been made possible by the innovations accomplished by EPFL's Institute of Microengineering in Neuchatel. The team of prof. Christophe Ballif, director of the Photovoltaics Laboratory (PVlab), presented their work at the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition that just took place in Frankfurt.
For this assembly to be efficient, the interface between the two types of silicon requires to be optimized. Antoine Descoeudres managed to achieve this feat together with Stephaan DeWolf and their colleagues. They chose the commonest — and therefore cheapest — crystalline cell (called "p-doped silicon"), took care of its preparation and improved the process of application of amorphous silicon. They obtained a 21.4% conversion efficiency, which had never been achieved before with such type of substrates: nowadays, the best quality monocrystalline cells only attain an energy conversion efficiency of 18-19% at best. In addition, the measured open-circuit voltage was 726 mV, which constitutes a first-time accomplishment as well. Last but not least, they broke the 22% efficiency barrier on a less common substrate.
These results, validated by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) in Germany, will soon be published by the IEEE Journal of photovoltaics.
To bring these innovations to a stage of industrialization may only take a few years. This research was partly financed as a commission for Roth & Rau Switzerland, whose parent company, Meyer Burger, has already started the commercialization of machines built for assembling this type of heterojunction sensors. "Within three to five years, we expect to reach a production cost of $100 per square meter of sensors, estimates Stefaan DeWolf. In Switzerland, with the conversion efficiency achieved, such a surface will be able to produce between 200 and 300 kWh of electricity per year."

Socioeconomic variables are associated with mortality and morbidity in a variety of diseases at both the individual and neighborhood level. Investigating whether low socioeconomic status populations are exposed to higher air pollution has been an important objective for the scientific community during the last decade. The goal of this study was to analyze the associations between outdoor nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations in an area of Asturias (Spain) and two socioeconomic indexes—one based on occupation and the other on educational level—at the census-tract level.
A map of NO2 concentration was obtained from a land-use regression model. To obtain a census-tract average value, NO2 was estimated at the centroids of all 50 × 50 m grids within a census tract. Standard socioeconomic variables were used from the Census of Population and Housing 2001. We analyzed the association between NO2 concentration and socioeconomic indicators for the entire area and stratified for more urban and more rural areas.
A positive linear relationship was found between the levels of education and NO2 exposure in the urban area and the overall study area, but no association was found in the rural area. A positive association between socioeconomic index based upon occupation and NO2 concentration was found in urban areas; however, this association was reversed in the rural and overall study areas.
The strength and direction of the association between socioeconomic status and NO2 concentration depended on the socioeconomic indicator used and the characteristics of the study area (urban, rural). More research is needed with different scenarios to clarify the uncertain relationship among socioeconomic indexes, particularly in non-urban areas, where little has been documented on this topic.

The Hebrides are a group of Scottish islands extending in an arc off the Atlantic (west) coast of Scotland. They are subdivided into two groups-the Inner Hebrides to the east and the Outer Hebrides to the west-which are separated from each other by the channels called the Minch and Little Minch. The Outer Hebrides are administered as the Western Isles council area. The northern Inner Hebrides lie within the Highland council area, and the southern Inner Hebrides are part of Argyll and Bute council area.

how people from different countries cope with stress or depression due to overwork?
I want to know how people from different countries cope with stress or depression due to overwork? Most Russian as European works 40 hours per week (8 hours a day). I work 10-11 hours a day. Sometimes I work up to 16 hours a day. I know that Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese overwork too. I am interested, is there the set of norms, behaviors, beliefs, and customs in your culture which helps you to cope with stress/depression due to overwork?
I used to work 15+ hours (two jobs actually, 8+ hours plus 7+ hours) a day. It was crazy, so crazy that I felt like dying every single day (no kidding).
Try to find time to take a nap as much as you can, even though the permission you've got is for 10 minutes only.
Yes, it's pretty common in East Asian. Also, I heard of a funny saying, that is, when you are an employee you work 8 hours a day and when you are a boss you work 16 hours a day--who is more miserable, it's up to you, haha
I think that if you find psychological comfort in your work, you will not be interested in stress , in other word psychological comfort is main factor to be happy
LAst week, Monday to Friday I was sooo busy with my work that I only sleep 2 hours per day after a busy weekdays I slept for 22 hours. I slept Saturday 10 am and I woke up Sunday 8 am. It was really good. I tried to sleep for 24 hours but we had a visitors and they were noisy :( ... Mostly people here cope up with their stress by eating, shopping, hanging out with friends, sleeping and going to beach.
I used to work 7 days a week ,8 hours a day. It was so crazy, wasn't it? (5 days for the full time job and 2 days for the part time job) I got stess from less sleep and not enjoy with my colleauges. What I did was to talk to my close friend for releasing my stress(complain what happened during the day) and I stoped working whenever I feel " I can't make it any more" by taking my day off. I try not to push myself to the deeper of stress because it could make me be crazy and I would have to see a psychologist.
Thank you for your answers!
mishaspEaking, sometimes I nap during lunch :)
M.A.L.I.K, yes! I am happy. It is a very interesting job. I get good experience. But it is a very responsible job so sometimes I get stress.
Doris Day Δωρίς, Russian and Philippines people are very similar in the fight with stresses.
Nutjaya Aramkul, it is a interesting thought. If my energy runs out, then I will leave the job.
If I have to work over time as usual , I would resign to find another proper job . I do not want to live for workc. That is not the destination I struggle for . If other options available , I would rather enjoy my life more instead of consuming all of my time in work . I consider over work or underemployment is wortheless . I would like to evaluate why I have to overwork all the time or if this job can bring prmosing vision for my prospective career .That really matters if I am going to overwork all the while . Back to the core of your question , I would try to find my fun in my work to persuade myself to overwork happier . At all events , it is suffering hard to take it for a long time .
I used to work 9 hours per day and i had to cope with too much stress and responsabilities. Finally, a new job was the solution, because the health is always the priority.
Meantime, i would suggest you to try a suitable time to practice some sports. Physical exercise helps you to uses up excess adrenaline. Choose your favourite sport so you will also enjoy the excercise.
allen, it is a good proposal to find my fun in my work.
Adri, thanks for your answer. It is a good proposal too :)
Vladimir, I agree with you on the Chinese, Korean, Japanese work ethics and work culture. To answer your question, I would say it is a matter of how you think (your attitude).
I don't work hard. I work smart. I absolutely hate it when someone praises me for being a hardworker. Some of my ex bosses used to say that. ~!@#$%^&*()_
I am paid overtime, and I had worked 16 hours straight a few days. I had worked 15, 14, 13, ... hours straight as well. I am also on standby mode 24/7, so I may get work emails close to midnight which I am expected to respond to right away.
It is hard to predict what life will throw at us. But when life throws lemons at me, I try to make lemonade out of them. So one way I cope with it is that I am confident that I can handle whatever comes my way.
Another thing about attitude is that, you should not let work bother you outside of work. At work, I want to do well, partly because I have a career reputation to protect. Outside of work, I have a "don't know, don't care" attitude, unless someone at work contacts me, then I try to finish it off swiftly.
I really interest with this topic. :)
When I really have a stressful day, I used to use a religiou cpong style. I took sereval minutes to take a break from all my works and then I pray. It somehow helps me to relax and feel calm. The feeling that I've got after doing this is unexplainable but morely I feel that I'm not alone having this stressful day. That thoughts make me realize and help me cope with my stressful day.
Another things; I like to write and do blogging. Writing some poetry or article helps me explore my feeling and somehow when I post it (my poem or writing) it reduces my stress rate.

Brook Airs French Costume for 10 Performances Only
Editorial Staff • West End • 23 Jan 2001
Le Costume tells the story of a bizarre ménage à trois – a husband, his wife and a suit. When the man catches his wife in the act, her lover flees but leaves behind his suit. In order to remind his wife forever of her infidelity, the husband keeps the suit, treating it as an honoured guest to the extent of feeding it and even taking it for walks.
The play is performed in French, with English surtitles, by a cast which includes Tania Moodie, Sotigui Kouyate, Herbert Kounde and Cyril Guei. Le Costume is adapted by Barney Simon and Mothobi Mutloatse, with costumes by Chloe Obolensky and lighting by Philippe Vialatte.
Peter Brook, now in his 70s, is one of Britain's most revered theatre directors, renowned for his experimental re-workings of classic texts such as Shakespeare. In the 1960s, he enjoyed a long association with the RSC, but by the early 1970s, Brook had moved towards an unconventional style which was often considered out of place at subsidised British theatres and in the West End. In 1971, he established the International Centre of Theatre Research (CIRT) in Paris, where he continues to work.
Brook's many notable successes include celebrated productions of King Lear, Marat/Sade, Midsummer Night's Dream, The Cherry Orchard and Carmen. On screen, he is best known for directing the 1963 film adaptation of William Golding's Lord of the Flies.
Le Costume precedes another expected London run for Brook's latest Shakespeare re-working. He has cut more than a third from the text of Hamlet and reduced the cast to eight. The company is led by Briton Adrian Lester in the title role. The acclaimed young black actor's stage credits include Six Degrees of Separation and Company while, on film, he has appeared in Primary Colours, Love's Labour's Lost and Maybe Baby.

Summer Melt Season Approaching
Monday, June 23, 2014 - 12:40
What's going on with the Western Hudson Bay polar bears? Biologist Alysa McCall catches us up in her latest blog post, Why Do Polar Bears Do What They Do?
For polar bears, the seal pupping season in the spring is a time of plenty—the time of year when fat, naïve baby seals make easy prey. The calorie-rich bounty is especially important to polar bears that live in seasonal ice areas like Hudson Bay.
After the feasting season is over, the summer ice melt is the next big event on the polar bear calendar. Satellite images show that the ice break-up has started on Hudson Bay, but when it will reach the stage that the polar bears are forced ashore is still unknown.
"We hope the ice stays into July," McCall says, "because if it breaks up a week or two earlier than normal, hunting time is reduced and so is bear body fat."
Read Alysa's latest blog post, and other dispatches from the field, in our Scientists and Explorers Blog. Also make plans to join us this year for Arctic Sea Ice Day, July 12, as we call attention to the longer ice-free periods for this population.

Congress Refuses to #FreeTHOMAS (updated)May 17, 2012 - by David Moore
Update, May 30th, 2012, 5pm ET: Ohh hell no. They're blocking you, you reading this now, from accessing #opendata about bills in Congress.
This afternoon, Daniel Schuman & Eric Mill with our partners Sunlight Foundation posted this seriously unfortunate, significantly discouraging, sadly expected update: "Appropriators May Undercut Legislative Transparency". Read their whole rundown of the state of play, but in short: bullshit paranoid excuses, no accountability, no serious response to the considered testimony from the #opengov & public-interest communities on behalf of #opengovdata – and just to let us know they're serious about not treating this seriously, another hyper-bullshit task force with no deadlines. Clearly, they're indefinitely delaying public bulk access. A crystal-clear affront to the #opengov community and OpenCongress users.
Primary point of contact here should be office of Rep. Ander Crenshaw [R, FL-04] – 202-225-2501 - on behalf of the intentionally, insistently closed-off Legislative Branch Subcommittee of House Cmte. on Appropriations. Give them a ring and let them know that even if you're not a constituent, you demand bulk access to public legislative information – literally the data that shapes the laws of the land & our shared, lived public policies – and that they're unforgivably standing in the way of progress on basic government transparency. If anyone from Rep. Crenshaw's staff or office is reading this, give me a ping on Skype at davidmooreppf to chat voice or video chat, and I'll politely reiterate the extensive testimony submitted by OC & GovTrack & Sunlight & others on behalf of the millions of people who want access to public data in real-time. Rep. Crenshaw profile on OC; office phone: 202-225-2501.
Follow me on the micropublishing service for more legitimately angry responses to this affront & to see informed, expert commentary from allies like Josh Tauberer, Waldo Jacquith, Eric Mill, Derek Willis & others – maybe consider subscribing to my #opengov list. Unbelievable. There is no legitimate excuse for THOMAS & the Library of Congress – and now House Approps. – to be dragging its heels on #opengovdata. (That means you too, CRS & GPO & LIMS & LIS et al. But especially you, THOMAS.) So brazenly, unaccountably retrograde. To participants of the Legislative Data & Transparency Conference this past Feb., to technologists with the LoC & LLoC – come on, step up and level some pointed criticism at the subcommittee members who deserve it. Public data should be open to the public in full, full stop.
We tried playing the inside game, carrots-and-sticks with the lengthy (and impotent) bulk data task force process, and bureaucratic foot-dragging has now been compounded by institutional refusal to open up the workings of Congress to the public online. Get radical, the process is clearly broken: liberate open-gov-data now. Let's see if the #opengov movement has any edge or ooomph in responding to this fundamental failure of #opengov transparency – input welcome, email me: david at opencongress.org.
(By the way, this marks the first time I've sworn in print on OC or on my @ppolitics account, viz. "bullshit", which this is. The polite term is cohort replacment - if this generation of lawmakers & their staffs in our systemically corrupt U.S. Congress doesn't understand the open Web & open data, assuredly subsequent ones will. But we can do better now, today, and there are no excuses left.)
Quick call-to-action – today, Friday May 18th at 9:30 am 11am ET (changed, per Daniel Schuman's photo – ed.), the Legislative Branch Subcommittee is holding a markup of a major appropriations bill. This is a crucial window of opportunity to compel the out-of-touch gatekeeepers at the Library of Congress and the members of Congress who oversee them to make public data open to the public in full. Background on OC Blog: our campaign is to #FreeTHOMAS now.
Click here to email your senators and representative in favor of open government data today. We've seeded the Message Builder with some suggested talking points; feel free to add your personal testimony about why you think our nation's massively important legislative data ought to be, you know, open to the public it affects (and which paid for it).
In coalition with our #opengov allies at the Sunlight Foundation, GovTrack and others, we'll keep pushing on a number of fronts to liberate public data:
- Everyone reading this – please write your members of Congress above to raise the issue of legislative transparency. Spread the word w/ our #FreeTHOMAS hashtag.
- If your rep. is on the Legislative Approps. Subcommittee, please visit our whip count page and record that you have contacted them. The 8 reps. on the subcommittee are: Rep. Sanford Bishop [D, GA-2], Rep. Ken Calvert [R, CA-44], Rep. Ander Crenshaw [R, FL-4], Rep. Jo Ann Emerson [R, MO-8], Rep. Michael Honda [D, CA-15], Rep. Steven LaTourette [R, OH-14], Rep. David Price [D, NC-4], and Rep. Dennis Rehberg [R, MT-0]. Contacting these members is particularly important, but, again, this is a national issue so we're asking everyone to contact their senators and rep. about this.
- Employees & directors at the Library of Congress – there has been pitifully little progress or communication since our good-faith meeting this past February in the Capitol. We demand access to public legislative data in timely, machine-readable formats – and most of all, in bulk. It's preposterously past-time. We need it for OpenCongress; the entire #opengov, #opendata ecosystem needs it; media & journalists & bloggers could use it; it's a sound fundamental principle of accountability & access to information.
There are zero compelling arguments against OpenGovData for THOMAS. It's technically straightforward (and as you know, you have our help & collaboration). The only thing blocking it, as far as what the LoC can control, is institutional inertia & bureacratic foot-dragging. Totally weird & preposterous that the LoC is so intransigent on this common-sense #opengov #opendata issue (with virtually no arguments against it other than organizational unresponsiveness & lack of will). Conference attendees, we call you to pressure the LoC to start moving in this direction: bulk access first, legislative XML second, open API third, libre data by default fourth (or first).
Hundreds of thousands of OC visitors want real-time bill & vote & issue data every month, as do our 300,000 MyOC registered users (who could use it for deeper research & social sharing), and the millions more people searching for basic information about Congress around the open Web. We've provided more than enough compelling testimony, academic research, and peer-reviewed evidence of public demand & use case propositions & value generated (incl. economic benefits), and over three months later, you've refused to take action. See, for example, testimony from GovTrack (GovTrack users want better transparency from Congress, we co-sign Josh's points) and Daniel Schuman, Sunlight Policy Counsel. This lack of access & lack of momentum towards access is unacceptable to the OC community. It's mid-2012, we still don't have #opengovdata, so we don't have #opengov in America.
Questions, feedback? Email me: david at opencongress, or davidmooreppf on AIM or Skype, and see our #FreeTHOMAS community wiki whip count page for more background.

November 30, 2015
SALTILLO, Miss. (AP) - A friend of a Mississippi man whose home was searched as part of an investigation of poisoned letters sent to the president and others says the man is trying to escape the media spotlight.
Kirk Kitchens says he and Everett Dutschke stayed at a home for a while Wednesday before slipping out through the woods to rendezvous with someone who drove Dutschke elsewhere.
Dutschke's attorney says he's cooperating with investigators and the FBI knows how to get in touch with him. He has not been charged.
Dutschke had his home and former business searched earlier this week in connection with the letters, which allegedly contained ricin. They were sent last week to President Barack Obama, Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi and earlier to a Mississippi judge named Sadie Holland.

I love pattycakes! I went there over spring break last year! In st. louis there are some too, SweetArt is all vegetarian but offers tons of delicious vegan and some GF cupcakes, brownies, cookies, pies, cinnamon rolls, even pizza and sandwiches and soups! Also, VegaDeli is all vegan and they always have some delicious baked goodies that are healthier than SweetArts (In my opinion) We also have Foundation Grounds, not vegetarian but they offer tons of vegan baked goods- cupcakes, cheesecakes, cookies, brownies, tarts, muffins, etc. We also have a cupcake cart that will sometimes make vegan cupcakes, and the list goes on and on!!!

Field of Work: Disseminating evidence and evaluation approaches for improving physician practice systems.
Problem Synopsis: A 2001 report from the Institute of Medicine documented the need for reliable measures of medical systems that affect the quality of health care, to guide efforts to improve quality and ensure accountability. However, efforts by insurers and large employers to measure the quality of care—often by surveying patients and measuring outcomes—have been plagued with problems, according to staff at the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), including the unreliability of information and the cost of collecting it.
Synopsis of the Work: From 2001 to 2007, staff and consultants at NCQA created, tested and disseminated tools to measure "practice systems": formal processes and information systems used to ensure high-quality care and prevention of chronic illness. NCQA also investigated links between the use of practice systems and clinical quality measures, patient experiences of care and resource use/cost in physician practices.

The following titles have been added to the Library shelves:
1. Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy by Eric Metaxas

3. Fields of the Fatherless by C. Thomas Davis

4. The Hole in our Holiness by Kevin De Young
The hole in our holiness is that we don't seem to care much about holiness. Or, at the very least, we don't understand it. This is a book about God's power to help us grow in personal holiness and to enjoy the process of transformation.
5. The Kingdom Focused Church by Gene Mims
This book will give you everything you need to achieve your church's full potential - and relief from the smorgasbord approach that does more harm than good by distracting you from the unique focus, nature, and mission of the church God has saved for you alone.
6. Multiply by Francis Chan
Multiply will equip you to carry out Jesus' ministry and is designed to do what Jesus did: make discpiles who make disciples who make disciples ... until the world knows the truth of Jesus Christ, Each of the 24 sessions in this book corresponds with an online video at www.multiplymovement.com.

Justin Timberlake is a man of his word!
On Saturday, the 30-year-old singer-actor attended the Marine Corps Ball with Corporal Kelsey De Santis in Richmond, VA.
In July, Timberlake's Friends with Benefits costar Mila Kunis was invited to the Nov. 18 Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, NC by Sergeant Scott Moore. The marine made a YouTube video asking Kunis, 28, to be his date to the fete.
PHOTOS: Justin and more southern superstars
After Timberlake encouraged Kunis to accept Moore's invitation, De Santis invited the In Time star to a Marine Corps ball via YouTube. "If you can't go," De Santis said in the clip. "All I have to say is cry me a river! Hit me up."
When asked at a Cancun press conference this summer whether he intended to attend the ball, Timberlake said yes. "But not because she shouted out one of my songs, which I do love," he said. "And not because she had all those beefcake military guys behind her to try to intimidate me -- although that probably would have worked by itself. I don't get asked out ever! So I was very flattered by that."
PHOTOS: All the ladies JT's romanced!
An attendee at Saturday's Marine Corps ball told local station WTVR that Timberlake "posed for pictures and seemed like a normal guy."

Camp Lejeunes ghosts
The marine training facility of Camp Lejeune is one of the most famous and important military installations in the world. Located on more that 150 thousand acres in Onslow County Camp Lejeune trains some of the best soldiers on the planet. Though it seems that sometimes The Marines can't prepare them for everything...
On a November night in 1977 a group of soldiers were involved in maneuvers at a place called campsite 12. a recon team was sent out to scout ahead. They had gone about half a mile when they spotted what they thought were troops in the dark. taking positions in the woods they waited to ambush the opposing troops.
Not long after they her movement again and this time heard voices. Radioing back to camp the team was instructed to gather as much evidence as possible and report back. The men got as close as they dare to the noise when the saw something that stopped them cold.
They did see troops in the dark, but not those of that age. They were looking right at Union soldiers building a Civil War campsite. The smoke from the food could be smelled and a few times, the Union soldiers came within inches of the stunned marines.
After about an hour, the ghosts packed up camp and disappeared into the night. The marines radioed back that all was clear and were soon joined by the rest of their men. Of course, none of the men who saw that night ever told their fellow troops. After all, who would believe them.
As it turns out, they may have seen the ghosts of events 115 years in the past. in 1862 over 200 Union soldiers camped in and around the Onslow county area near the farm of Thomas Gillott.
I've deleted all comments to this story as none of them referred to the story itself but rather the difference between 'soldiers' and "M"arines. If comments are to continue on this story, please keep them on topic.
Actually one or several of the Marines involved in this did talk to someone. I was stationed at Lejeune during this time frame (1975 - 1979) wit AT ToW Co, 2nd Tank Bn.
There were "rumors" of this event that nobody could put their finger on, as to what unit this was and where the event occurred. But it was known pretty much all over the base.
I lived out by New River Air Base in Jacksonville. My house backed up to woods, and sometimes, when a good storm was coming in, I could see what looked like men running from tree to tree. If you looked too hard they would be gone, but I know I saw them out there on more then one occasion. They never bothered us, I think they where just like a video recorder that would play over and over again.
I am currently a Marine at Lejeune, and have spent the majority of my career on this base. Out of 18 years, 12 of them have been here. I am an infantryman and have spent time in almost every training area and range on this base. I have to say I have seen strange things, but nothing I would relate to hauntings or spirits. Please understand that I do believe in the paranormal, but I want to be as open minded as possible when dealing with anything classified as being paranormal. Basically, the only thing I have ever encountered in the TA's are wild animals, mainly small game or snakes. I have had two occasions where is was a small black bear. Occasionally you'll see strange lights, but you have to take into account that the population of Marines training on the base is fairly extensive at any given time. I have heard stories of haunted places on CLNC mainside. I would recommend anyone interested look into some of the more historic buildings on the base. The old Naval Hospital is the first that pops into mind, located at hospital point. Also heard stories of some of the older squad bay style buildings being haunted. If anyone is really interested I would ask about stories Marines have brought back from Iraq and Afgahnistan. There is also at least one story of a haunted barracks aboard the base. Unrelated, there is a classic ghost story from Parris Island that almost every Marine that has served on the island knows, about a drill instructor that marched his Marines into the inlet behind the rifle range.
I worked on both Lejeune and New River for four years as a civilian. After the numerous experiences I had WITH other Marines and civilians, I can assure you that the area is haunted. I have encountered ghosts or spirits at the Officers Club (aptly nicknamed Papi-he likes to hang out in the bar), the armories (the woods by a few of the armories-whatever is there is pretty evil, and seems to like to stay close to the barracks), the Golf Course area (guess what was found there? Yes, graves.). New River and Camp Johnson have some pretty scary ghosts or spirits. An old man that hangs out by Alligator Bridge that is very resentful-go out there late at night, and you'll hear a wierd bird screaming. Then, wait. Many, many dead Marines that gather in the woods where Camp Devil Dog is. And, something very old, very sinister (and possibly demonic) that hangs out in the MOUT at Camp Devil Dog with a young boy. There are a group of ghosts or spirits in TT 2, and they hang out in the woods by the rec area near the water. They're there, they exist.

Ball State head coach Pete Lembo talks with the team after an April 5 practice.
- Filed Under
The Ball State football coaching staff isn't one to look ahead.
This means when they're asked about the specter of a season schedule, they'll tell you all focus it on the FCS opener. In spring practice, players compete to get better every day, because the conclusion of their position battles is a long way off.
But amid all the focus on the here and now, there comes a window, albeit a small one, where players and staff can look far ahead. ...

That they are... some people work hard to do this kind of stuff at the risk to themselves (I refer to the whole geohot saga) for very, very in little return... mods/admins should ban these ungrateful users (ip) from sites such as these as they bring nothing but negativity.
And?? Since when Rebug does?
If you knew anything about anything you'd know that every piece of the puzzle helped. Your whining is useless and helps nobody. Put up or shutup.
You can downgrade to lower Firmware but you need to do this from Recovery Mode not XMB.
Cheers, i got error 8002F271
And unable to boot ps3... ohh my days, have to use JIG...
I saw that there is another .pkg available for QA Flag that is called qa_flag_extra.pkg. You can download this from here: http://7track.org/~glevand/public/qa_flag_extra.pkg
Maybe this one can work for you. I haven't tried downgrade with QA Flag now
ok successfully downgraded via recovery menu! can we create 2.76 CFW with MFW ??
I want to stay on 2.76 i love it.
Last edited by TUHTA; 06-27-2011 at 12:41 PM Reason: Automerged Doublepost
I have also downgraded successfully from 3.55 to 2.50.
I also ask myself the same question as TUHTA (in my case for the fw 2.50)
hi! can we, after QA flag, install the leaked 3.55 debug on ps3 QA flagged retail? have we benefits? ^_^
