A Brief History of Christmas Cards
Did you send out Christmas cards this year? If so, you're certainly not alone (and if not… hey, it's a busy season, we get it). According to the Greeting Card Association (and who should know better?) there are around 1.6 billion Christmas cards sold every year. That far outpaces Valentine's Day with only 145 million cards sold. The first official post office in America was created in 1792, and as any schoolkid will tell you, original founding father Benjamin Franklin was our first official Postmaster General. Even though they were sending letters just after the Revolutionary War, it would take close to another hundred years before Christmas Cards were being made and sent in America. Here's how it all unfolded:
Gaming Hacks Every Gamer Should Be Gaming With
According to the Entertainment Software Rating Board, the average gamer spends around 8 hours a week playing video games. That sounds a lot like a full workday. Of course, most gamers don't go for eight hours straight. Still, that is a lot of time devoted to all that hand-eye coordination and sitting around. To make the most of those hours, there are some gaming hacks you should be embracing.
Mobile Army Monday: Share Your Opinion and Earn Easy Cash
If there is one thing we can all agree on, it's that we all have a lot of opinions and, therefore, tend to disagree. Try counting up all the times you shared an opinion during the course of any given day. Such opinions can address everything from The Walking Dead season finale (amazing!) to mushrooms on your pizza (not a chance!). Some of us are more vocal about sharing those opinions. Thanks to the wonderful wide world of the Internet, we can now share every opinion about local restaurants, the latest comic book movie adaptation, or even which flavor potato chip is your favorite (crab seasoning!). Even more exciting, there is one amazing website that offers cash in exchange for your opinions: iPoll. You might not even have thought about some of these topics, but once iPoll poses the question, you can't keep your opinion to yourself. Why should you? You can earn easy cash with every share!
Heartbleed Bug: We've Got Your Back
If you follow internet trending (as you should) then two things might have caught your attention this week. First, it was Tax Day for America. Blah! Second, something called the Heartbleed Bug was making the rounds across cyberspace. In the flurry of news headlines about Heartbleed, one was obviously missing:
"iPoll Surveys Are Safe For Users"
That was certainly welcomed relief and it makes sense that it wouldn't be the top of the new reports because it is essentially good news. You can't lead with that. Instead, we were blasted with these kind of ominous reports:
"Heartbleed Is About To Get Worse, And It Will Slow The Internet To A Crawl" – Washington Post
"Attackers Could Use Heartbleed Chaos To Steal Enterprise Data" – Remondmag
"Heartbleed: 95% Of Detection Tools 'Flawed', Claim Researchers" – The Guardian
"Heartbleed Bug Sends Bandwidth Costs Skyrocketing" – Wired
My first reaction upon reading those headlines was to unplug everything and head to my Y2K bunker. Luckily, I still have a few cases of 1999 vintage Spam down there. Then I read the poster hanging in my bunker: "Keep Calm and Carry On Web Surfing." So, I plugged back in and rebooted and that's when I found that iPoll was safe. I could skip over all those other vulnerable sites, but I can't miss out of my daily dose of iPoll. Upon hearing that news, we had a big "Whew" moment here at command central.
Everyday Survival 101: Important Skills To Learn
The question of "What would you take to a deserted island?" is fun to muse over. One of the items I always list is a book called, "How To Survive On A Deserted Island." Although it technically might not be an actual resource, it would help to have some basic survivor skills. I'm constantly amazed at the contestants who show up on the reality show Survivor without a clue of the basics, like how the make a fire. There are some contestants who show up wearing dresses and high heels. You'd think they'd never watched the show before. Here's a tip: if you are picked for Survivor and the show sends you a ticket to a remote island, chances are the game is on and you should dress appropriately. As for those of us who will never make it to a deserted island, there are still some everyday survival skills we should learn. How many of these skills are you proficient with?
• Change A Tire
Full disclosure: I have AAA. I wouldn't leave home without it, and yes, I probably would call them in the event that I find myself with a flat tire. However, I'd feel really guilty when I do. At the very least, one should know where their spare is located, how to get the flat removed, and the spare put on. By the way, it's also helpful to know how to jumpstart your car or anyone else's car. At the very least, know where your jumper cables are.
Best Resolutions You Can Make for 2014
If you're a gym owner, then your happiest time of year is January. That's because millions of folks sign up for gym memberships they have no intention of using. Strike that. They do have the "intention," they just end up not going after a few weeks. Such is the cycle of New Year's resolutions. With the dropping of the crystal ball in Times Square, we all have the opportunity to look back and look forward. The looking back part consists of examining the areas in our lives that can use improvements. The looking forward part is those resolutions to do better. Here are some of the best resolutions we can make for 2014.
iPoll Round Up: The Hits and Misses of 2013 TV
As part of iPoll's end of the year round up, we obviously need to look back at the hits and misses from the wide world of television. Technically, the networks run a season from September to May. Nowadays, the Nielsen ratings folks include what they call Live-plus-7. This takes into account the fact that most of us watch our favorite TV shows within a week of their original airdate. Personally, I love to binge watch me some Downton Abbey. Let's get the top 10 of the 2012-2013 season out of the way:
1. NCIS 21.6 million
2. SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL 21.0 million
3. THE BIG BANG THEORY 19.0 million
4. NCIS: LOS ANGELES 17.5 million
5. PERSON OF INTEREST 16.2 million
6. AMERICAN IDOL (Wednesday) 15.1 million
7. DANCING WITH THE STARS 15.0 million
8. AMERICAN IDOL (Thursday) 14.8 million
9. THE VOICE 14.4 million
10. THE WALKING DEAD 14.3 million
To sum up; we like to watch people solve crimes, play football, sing, dance, geek out and kill zombies. As for the new fall season, here are hits and misses:
Fun Facts About It's A Wonderful Life
Have you seen It's A Wonderful Life yet this year? For many folks, Christmas just isn't Christmas without an annual viewing. Whether you have it playing in the background of your Christmas party or snuggle up with a loved one for a focused viewing, it remains a holiday classic. It also consistently ranks as one of the best films ever made. Not bad for a movie based on a greeting card. Yes, writer Philip Van Doren Stern sent out the short story The Greatest Gift as a Christmas card to his friends. One of those lucky recipients was director Frank Capra who said, "This is the story I've been looking for all my life." Filming got underway in 1946 for a 1947 release. However, there is a lot more to the story. Herewith, are the fun facts about It's A Wonderful Life that you can impress your friends with at the next viewing!
iPoll Offers Black Friday Shopping Tips
As any junior accountant will tell you, to be "in the black" is to be profitable. Thus, "Black Friday" is the day when retail stores begin to make some serious bank. Despite the Christmas lights going up at Costco in August, the day after Thanksgiving is the official start of the Christmas shopping season. As it turns out, it has always been this way. The term "Black Friday" was coined by the taxi and bus drivers in Philly as far back as 1961. Back then, those cabbies and drivers were freaking out because of all the added traffic. It really didn't have anything to do with camping outside a store. Believe it or not, those stores had regular hours. This spending the night on the sidewalk only started within the last several years with the introduction of "door buster" deals to entice shoppers. They really do bring out the best in humanity, don't they? (snark intended). If you want to get the most out of your Black Friday shopping pay heed to these insightful tips from iPoll:

The Elements of Style

No current Talk conversations about this book.
A must read and handy volume to keep close by for writers.
A must read and handy volume to keep close by for writers.
A unique book worth memorizing
A fairly boring read - the book is just a long list of grammar and style suggestions - but a decent reference to check every now and then. That said, if you already know what to look for, a google search is likely more effective. Therefore, a quick read through of this sort of book may be useful to know what questions to ask.
I'm one of those English majors who threw around "Strunk and White" knowingly, but had never read the book. So I decided to remedy that just a few years after graduation. As an English major, I think most of the knowledge in this book is things we learned in class, and therefore seems common sense to us. There is some interesting advice, but the rules I was the most unclear about were actually the ones that didn't have detailed explanations accompanying them, so that turned me off.
The Elements of Style does not deserve the enormous esteem in which it is held by American college graduates. Its advice ranges from limp platitudes to inconsistent nonsense. Its enormous influence has not improved American students' grasp of English grammar; it has significantly degraded it.

I have a file with around 100k lists and have a another file with again a list of around an average of 50.
I want to compare 2nd item of list in second file with the 2nd element of 1st file and repeat this for each of the 50 lists in 2nd file and get the result of all the matching element.
I have written the code for all this,but this is taking a lot of time as it need to check the whole the 100k list some 50 times. I want to improve the speed.
I cant not post my code as it is part of big code and will be difficult to infer anything from that.

Delay in cancer diagnosis
"Professionally handled. Thank you."
BL Claims Solicitors clinical negligence solicitors have had exceptional success in winning large compensation settlements for a delay in diagnosis of a wide variety of cancers that include melanoma/skin cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, bowel cancer, testicular cancer, ovarian cancer as well as many others.
We make compensation claims for a delay in cancer diagnosis when:
- GPs fail to make a referral to an appropriate consultant
- Hospital doctors and hospital bodies misinterpret test results
- GPs, hospital doctors or hospital bodies fail to follow up suspicious symptoms.
So, if there has been any sort of unacceptable delay between when you first complained of symptoms and when your cancer was diagnosed, our Clinical Negligence specialists will move quickly to ensure your compensation claim goes through as quickly as possible.
Our compensation claim for a delay in diagnosis is based on reports from our network of independent experts. BL Claims Solicitors make your claim based on what difference the delay in your cancer diagnosis has, and will, made to your short-term recovery and long-term prospects.
A delay in cancer diagnosis can also affect the type of treatment you need. For example, radiotherapy may be avoidable if your cancer is diagnosed at an early stage. Similarly, an early diagnosis of cancer may avoid painful courses of chemotherapy. Late cancer diagnosis can also lead to surgical procedures that may not have been necessary of your cancer had been diagnosed earlier. In such cases we will claim additional damages for your physical suffering as well as any associated financial losses.
We will also make additional claims if a delay in cancer diagnosis has decreased your chance of survival from over 50% to less than 50%.
Our highly-rated Clinical Negligence team can often continue a claim on behalf of the estate or family of a deceased person who was a victim of a delay in diagnosis of their cancer.
Our compensation claim lawyers are acutely aware of the implications of a delay, from the physical and psychological harm a delay in cancer diagnosis can cause to the potential for loss of life.
Our clients choose BL Claims Solicitors to handle their delay in cancer diagnosis compensation claims because:
- We are acknowledged leaders in the field
- We talk to our clients in jargon-free language
- We act quickly so clients and their families receive the financial and physical support they need as fast as possible
- We are members of industry bodies and panels related to clinical negligence, which means that BL Claims Solicitors is recognised as being in the premier league of the legal industry
- You will discuss your case with a highly qualified lawyer right from the outset

Hi, I'm Joe M6JNJ - QTH New Eltham, South East London - JO01AK 51.4399 0.0766 as you can see not far from the Greenwich Meridian, which is about 4 miles away.
I am a member of Cray Valley Radio Society and Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society. My shack is in the spare bedroom and I'm currently running the following:
Yaesu FT736R - for satellite and digi mode work. A Kenwood TS430S for HF - I also have a couple of mobiles - Yaesu FT817 for mobile work, Yaesu FT7900 for FM work. Handhelds a Baofeng UV5R, WouxunKG699E 4m and an AlincoDJ-v17 2m. I've also acquired the new KG-UV950P Wouxun quadband, which I'm not sure what I'm going to do with that right now!
I've had my foundation license for 2 years now, and I'm in no hurry to get to intermediate, as this is a retirement project and I want to experience all aspects of the hobby.
I've experienced some satellite work via SO50 and ISS, and now looking to do some radio astronomy in the form of Meteor scatter on 2m.
I've just built a 2m and 70cm LFA's, and they are going up on the roof on a rotator in the near future. I also have a half size G5RV down the garden, and a Diamond X50 2m/70cm colinear on the roof.
My objectives for 2015 are
1) to release and track a helium balloon with a small 70cm transmitter, and also
2) to make contact with IR0ISS, the International Space Station.

Many Utahns don't know the state has a healthy population of wild turkeys.
Among those who do know about the population, Thanksgiving isn't the only reason they'll be thinking about turkeys later this month. One of the best times of the year to see turkeys is almost here. And so is a chance to apply for a turkey hunting permit for spring 2014.
Jason Robinson, upland game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, said more than 20,000 turkeys live in the state.
"It's tough to get a solid estimate," Robinson said, "but based on the number of male turkeys hunters took this past spring, we estimate the state's population at more than 20,000 birds."

Cajun Dwarf Crayfish
Our two species of dwarf crayfish are appropriately named for their size. Both are reddish brown to gray, with a paired series of dark, wavy stripes or dashed lines along the dorsal surface. The tail fan usually has a dark central blotch. The pincers are narrow and long. The Cajun dwarf crayfish is distinguished from the similar-looking Shufeldt's dwarf crayfish by examining the male reproductive structures, which are curved in the Cajun, and straight in Shufeldt's. The two are rarely found in the same body of water.
Our two dwarf crayfish can be distinguished from the young of other lowland crayfish by the conspicuous dark pigment in the tail fan, and the lengthwise dark stripes or lines on the carapace. Also, the rostrum is flat, without a central troughlike depression.

001. I meant to do this sooner, but well it took a little time. So, thanks for the memories, Lost. It's definitely been a pleasure AND a pain. It's taken me a while to sort through my feelings on the epic finale of Lost, because the spectacular journey that I took was so very different from the one that most of you all experienced. You guys got six wonderful years of heartaches, headaches, massive confusion (see: brain in a blender), and some very amazing characters and ships to come out of it. For me, this was a show that I did not expect to love as much as I did which came as quite a surprise to me.
In fact, I all but did EVERYTHING in my power to NOT like it and as you can see - it STILL DIDN'T work out that way. I just - I mean, how do you explain not being sure whether you'd care for a particular character much less like them in any possible capacity and in the end come to love them so fiercely?! Yes, I'm looking in Sawyer's direction mostly, because he just wowed me. And Jack, my brilliant and amazingly handsome Jack, who won my heart from the very beginning ended up showing me exactly why I was ALWAYS Team!Jack from the very beginning and why I believed in him so very much. His story mattered.
And you know something, it was pretty damn fantastic.
I wanted to tell my story of why I came to love this show as much as I did in pictures, but I've grown seriously lazy as of late and it would probably end up coming across as very bias as in it would mostly center around Jack Shephard, Kate Austen, Jack and Kate, Sawyer, Juliet, and Sawyer and Juliet with a side helping of my beloved Benry (for which there will be a HUGELY shaped Benry hole in my heart forever and ever - I'll always have you Ben) along with Sayid whom I mostly loved just because. So, instead I think I'll just hit on the highlights of the finale as best I can and just leave it at that for a little while, until I can process further.
I got everything out of this show that I really wanted, which was pretty much Locke being right all along and Jack finally acknowledging it and realizing that he needed all of them as much as they needed him, Jack and Kate (re: Kate actually being not only very likeable for the most part, but finally making a choice and sticking with it), Sawyer and Juliet, Jack and Sawyer parting on good terms on the island and then meeting up on good terms again in the afterlife they'd created for themselves, and Sayid realizing that he can be a good man and being somehow redeemed in his love for Shannon. Oh, and pretty much EVERYTHING about Charlie and Claire and baby
I've been struggling with what my favorite scene was to come out of this grand epic finale, because there were so many good scenes and I'm pretty sure that most anyone who knows me probably thinks that it was shipper related but this time it really wasn't. As much as I absolutely LOVED the Jack/Kate scene on the island and the Sawyer/Juliet afterlife re-union, the scene that really stuck with me was Jack telling Smokey that he disrespects Locke's memory by wearing his face and that he wished he was there so he could tell him to his face that he was right along.
See, his story did matter.
Man, was Jack a believer this season and it was so beautiful to see. His story really came full circle. Plus, we get that scene where the camara pans down to where the light of the island is and we're looking right up at Jack and Smokey and it reminded me so much of the end of S1 when Jack and Locke found the hatch. I wrestle with this scene and the scene of Jack going back down to re-cork the island - more specifically the shot of him lying in the water, bathed in the light giggling. It was just so very beautifully shot.
Ships are nice to have and you're happy when whomever you like gets their moment, but in the end it was the characters - all of them - both together collectively and individually that really made me love this show. It was the stories that each of them had to tell, how they interacted with one another, the friendship and bonds that they created, and the way they fought, loved, died, and gave their lives to survive and live on to tell their stories or the way they chose to use being stranded on the island as a means of re-creating themselves and becoming a wholely other person than who they were before good or bad, it was their choice. That's what stays with me mostly, I think.
I don't want to gloat about which ship was or wasn't acknowledged, I just want to accept this series finale for what it was, and just be happy with that. We might not have gotten all of the answers that we wanted to get out of it, but in the end I think we did get what we needed the most which was the fact that the story had been about the character's, their relationships, and the journey that each of them took together with each other or alone individually. It might not have been the best series finale ever and have had its flaws, but it was done so beautifully that I can overlook that part because it touched me in a way that no series finale since Buffy the Vampire Slayer and E.R. has touched me and that's pretty much saying - A LOT.
So, thank you Lost for giving me two years and two and a half weeks of heartaches, jears, a broken brain, and a show that I was so determined NOT TO LOVE. It was one hell of a journey.
p.s. If, god forbid, I ever find myself stranded on some crazy ass island without so much as a damn clue on how to get off of it, I want a Hurley of my own to take care of me.
As I said before, my journey was a little more off the beaten path than yours, but somehow at the end of it all - I still feel sort of like my own brand of Lostie and I think I can totally be okay with that.
002. Ugh! Some of the people I work with are driving me bloody well insane. I cannot stand pettyness, ie. people talking about you amongst each other and you know they're doing doing it within earshot and it's like come on are we in fucking grade school or something?! Never mind the fact, that one of my actual co-worker's decided to take his bad day out on me Monday. I have enough to deal with, I do not want this bullshit. Stupid co-workers, stupid attitudes. Grow the frak up, please. Done now.
003. On Sunday morning around 9 o'clock in the morning I got a rather nice phone call from one of my aunt's informing me that another one of my aunt's had another heart attack (this would make the second one that she's had within a year) and it was apparently so bad that they had to care flight her to the nearest hospital, at that point she hadn't been seen by a doctor or anything but my aunt said that she'd probably have to have surgery. She did and they ended up putting five stints in her heart and we didn't find out about this until Monday, which was on my mind all day long even when the stupid co-worker was taking his stupid attitude out on me. (Did I mention that I sometimes, on rare occassion when it warrants it, don't really like people?!) Anyway, they took her off the ventilator that day and she was breathing on her own and doing pretty good, but my aunt said that she was still going to have to stay in the hospital for a few more days and of course she's going to be on more medication to monitor her heart. Crap, when it really hits - it just frakking hits at once.
004. Saw Sex and the City: The Movie 2 last Saturday and totally enjoyed the downtime to myself and the laughs. It wasn't as good as the first one, but it was still quite fantastic. I'll admit that I was a little bit worried when I saw he who shall not be named (even though I always liked him) in the trailers for the film, but I was completely IN LOVE with the way the movie ended. For me, it was pretty Big (you see what I did there? *g*) and quite perfect. I always knew that Samantha's sexual prowess would get her into trouble one day, here's what...it did. LOLZ.
Oh, and my favorite outfit that Carrie wore in the film just happened to be SJP's favorite outfit that she wore too. lolz. I kinda love it...a lot. ;)
005. OMG. I can't believe that the season finale for Glee is next week, I'm kinda REALLY EXCITED for it but I'm also kinda sad...do not want a summer hiatus. Oh, but my little shipper heart is just beating ninety to nothin'. ♥
006. I rented Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland and I am gloriously in love with it. The costumes, the rich color vibrancy, the pretty and talented actors, and the set designs were just gorgeous. Oh yes, must search for icons tomorrow at some point.
007. I miss you guys, a lot. What's up in your world?! Tell me, I wanna know what I've been missing.
008. I've been re-watching a lot of old!school E.R. and I really miss Dr. Greene now more than I ever did when it was in actual syndication, I think. But, I love how Carter got to set the tone after his death, that show was so epic in so many different ways. It pretty much set the tone for all medical drama's that followed. I love that Susan came back, but it was sad that it was right around the time that Mark was dying and my little shipper heart was crushed when Abby and Luca didn't work out so much.
I never really shipped Carter/Abby back in the day, but re-watching the series as a whole I can definitely understand why so many others shipped them. In fact, I might even be a little bit guilty of doing that myself these days just a little. Of course, I always HATED the shipper name that came attached to them, Carby. God, that sucked out loud. lolz.
009. I am so tired, but I uploaded some new icons so you should check them out.

This is Day 17 of Live a Healthier Life in 21 Days Challenge.
Flossing is one of those things that you don't miss if you have never done it and don't have the habit of doing it, but you don't want to miss it once you have established the habit of doing it.
I started flossing a few years ago after listening to my dentist telling me again and again at every teeth cleaning visit that I should floss and after hearing a coworker telling me that he couldn't stand not flossing every night.
Now I floss every night after brushing. It has really helped improve the health of my teeth.
I used to have really bad gum disease. Growing up in China I never visited a dentist, at least I don't remember I ever did. In China we only went to the hospital when we had a health problem. There was no preventive care. Gum disease was not considered a big problem. I remember whenever I brushed my teeth, my gum always bleed.
I had my first teeth cleaning in Germany when I was a student there in my early twenties. My gum disease was so bad, the dentist had to do deep cleaning for my teeth in several separate sessions. From then on, my gum disease was gradually cured.
After coming to the United States, I have been keeping up with the regular preventive and maintenance care of my teeth. I have my teeth cleaned twice a year as my insurance permits. Now my teeth are healthy, without gum disease and any cavities.
My dentist once made the comment: "I wish everyone has such nice teeth as you have."
Keeping my teeth healthy is not only good for my overall health, it also saves money.
Today I took my daughter to the dentist to have one filling done. Just one filling cost me $144 out of my pocket. That's after the insurance copay (60% coverage) and with $50 deductible. It was quite a surprise. The price was over $40 more than I expected because it had just been changed after January 1, 2011. I wish my salary would increase that fast.
So I advise everyone to take good care of your teeth by brushing and flossing every day for better health and saving money.
The following is from the 21DHL Forum.
Day 17 – Floss Your Teeth
Do any of you floss your teeth? I do – but I didn't used to do this in the past. According to a 2008 survey, only 49% of Americans floss daily, and 10% never floss.That's unfortunate because flossing is even more important than brushing in preventing gum disease and tooth loss. When I was younger I thought flossing is an unnecessary step in dental care. It was when I got braces (when I was in my early 20s) that I was more conscious about dental hygiene – and I realized that flossing is a very important step in properly cleaning your teeth.
Quote:"There is no instant gratification with flossing — that's the problem," says Alla Wheeler, RDH, MPA, associate professor of the Dental Hygiene Program at the New York University School of Dentistry. "Patients don't think it does anything."
But flossing does about 40% of the work required to remove sticky bacteria, or plaque, from your teeth. Plaque generates acid, which can cause cavities, irritate the gums, and lead to gum disease. "Each tooth has five surfaces. If you don't floss, you are leaving at least two of the surfaces unclean,"Wheeler explains. "Floss is the only thing that can really get into that space between the teeth and remove bacteria."
If you experience bleeding during flossing, that's an even clearer sign that you need to floss. The bleeding occurs because plaque has already built up in the area and would have continued to corrode your gums if you didn't floss right there and then!
Today, let's practice our best dental hygiene. Brush your teeth before you sleep/after you wake up. Rinse your mouth/brush your teeth in between your meals. For those of you who already floss, continue doing so! For those of you who don't floss your teeth normally, let's try flossing today!
Here's a short 1:54 minute Youtube video on how to floss your teeth properly.

Israel's Justice Minister Tzipi Livni received a mixed reception at the opening night of J Street'Äôs fourth annual conference in Washington D.C., as she told the nearly 3,000 delegates, including 900 students, that in their quest for peace they must not abandon Israel'Äôs security needs.
Livni's address—which in content broke no new ground—was greeted with standing ovations at its opening and closing. She was applauded warmly when she expressed her belief that the only way to maintain Israel as a Jewish and democratic state is to adopt the idea of two states for two peoples. "Israel and peace are contradictory ideas. They must live together," she said. "Do not let anybody convince you otherwise."
Yet the reaction was far more tepid when Livni asked delegates to put aside the division and disagreements between Israelis and the Diaspora in order to unite behind the IDF. "There is a process of delegitimization against Israel which focuses on our soldiers," Livni warned. "You should not accept the comparison between a terrorist who murders children in a school and the IDF."
Nonetheless, the fact that Livni was there last night is noteworthy in itself. Four years ago, when she was leader of the opposition and head of the largest faction in the Knesset, Livni rejected an opportunity to speak at the lobbying group's first annual conference. This year she joins Shelly Yachimovich of Labor and representatives from the Likud, Shas, Yesh Atid, Hatnua, and Meretz parties in attending.
In addition to speeches from The Gatekeepers director Dror Moreh and Rep. John Lewis, a Democrat from Georgia's fifth congressional district, opening night featured J Street president Jeremy Ben-Ami's announcement of the launch of the 2 Campaign, a $1 million initiative to mobilize support for the role of the United States in the process to reach a two-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians.
"For too long, support for two states in Jewish organizational politics has been hamstrung by excuses. We so often hear people say, 'I'm for a two-state solution, but the Palestinians aren't partners, but the 67-lines aren't defensible, but there's no way to resolves the issue of Jerusalem," Ben-Ami said.
Problematic for J Street, however, is that their position on what a two-state solution should look like doesn't exactly mesh with that of the current Israeli government. The 2 Campaign, for example, supports the establishment of two capitals in Jerusalem, including "Palestinian neighborhoods as the capital of the future state of Palestine." This is notably not the position of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said Jerusalem must remain "the united capital of Israel" in his Bar-Ilan address, or Yair Lapid, Israel's Minister of Finance, who remarked that Jerusalem as a place and as an idea cannot be divided. It is not even, publicly at least, the position of Israel's chief negotiator with the Palestinians: Tzipi Livni.

Benton Graphics, a doctor blade manufacturer based in Trenton, NJ, USA, has announced that it has completely recovered from the fire caused by a lightning strike in June of 2012 that shut the company down for over half a year.
"It was a long, difficult road getting up and running again with many setbacks. Though faced with adversity, we were able to improve our processing and get a little 'greener' by eliminating acetone completely from our operation," says Michael A. Valachovic, Benton's CEO.
The most harmful chemical Benton now uses in the production of its doctor blades is common table salt.
"We owe so many of our distributors and suppliers a debt of gratitude as they helped us source blades for our customers and tried to keep everyone informed on our progress while we were rebuilding," Valachovic says, thanking, in particular, All Printing Resources, Anderson & Vreeland, CT Graphics Arts, Delorey Solutions, DICAR Incorporated, Harris and Bruno, Printco Industries, Earnest Green and Son Canada, Prime Axes in Japan, ES Print in Moscow Russia and Oryong Korea LTD, and its main steel supplier Bohler Uddeholm. "We thank you all for everything you did to help us get back up and running. We'd also like to thank so many of our direct end users for sticking with us and coming back as soon as we reopened. Benton thanks all of you so much."

Article Summary
Spain's ULMA Agrícola consortium and Tecnalia research center have developed a new type of photovoltaic solar panel for greenhouses that can generate electricity without an adverse effect on the crops grown within, while additionally providing cooling in summer. The system is designed to exploit the annual oscillation - the variation in the height of the sun's path across the sky over the course of the year. In theory, no solar radiation is compromised over winter, but surplus radiation can be diverted to electricity-generation during summer.
Read the full article: Solar panels keep greenhouses cooler in summer, let the sun through in winter

Compulsion is as essential to government as water is to snow. Most of what governments do requires forcing people to do things they might choose not to -- pay taxes, stop at red lights, respect the property of others, avoid creating public nuisances, and so on. But the measure of a free society is its willingness to use compulsion only when it is indispensable. And by that measure, the state of Texas is falling short.
Recently, Gov. Rick Perry issued an executive order that surprised both friends and foes -- stipulating that before being admitted to sixth grade, every girl must be vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted disease that causes genital warts and cervical cancer. In a reversal of their usual view of the conservative Republican Perry, Planned Parenthood of North Texas applauds the measure, while Concerned Women for America opposes it.
Mandatory immunization, far from being a new development, goes back to the 19th century. But these days, it's generally imposed on schoolchildren only for serious illnesses that can spread easily by casual interaction, such as measles, whooping cough, diphtheria and polio. HPV is not one of those.
There are sound reasons to immunize pre-adolescents. One is that it makes sense to confer protection well before potential victims become sexually active -- by which time it may be too late. In a startling revelation, the Food and Drug Administration reports that "at least 50 percent of people who have had sex will have HPV at some time in their lives." Even someone who is a virgin upon marrying and monogamous afterward can be unwittingly exposed to it by a spouse.
Nor is immunization useful only for girls who will choose to have sex -- since they may be molested by someone carrying the virus. And a clinical study that led to FDA approval found the vaccine is nearly foolproof in preventing two types of HPV that account for 70 percent of all cervical cancers, which kill nearly 4,000 American women each year.
But the inoculation (which has not yet been approved for boys) is new, and it addresses a disease that most people know nothing about. A mandate would force on people something that most of them, in time, probably can be persuaded to accept voluntarily. The first need is public education, in the form of a comprehensive effort to inform Americans and their doctors of the dangers of HPV and the efficacy of immunization.
Even medical experts are wary of forcing it on the unwilling. The Texas Medical Association, which says many of its members are already administering the vaccine, does not favor requiring it. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which recommends the vaccine, has also declined to endorse the mandate.

Delay in bar licensing decision
Zoie O'Brien, Reporter, covering Walthamstow, Leyton and Leytonstone. Call me on 07768 507 739 / / News
A meeting which will decide whether or not to give a licence to the new owners of a troubled bar has been postponed.
Waltham Forest Council's Licensing Sub-Committee was due to meet tomorrow to decide whether or not to hand a licence to sell alcohol to new bar Dolce Vita, in Lea Bridge Road.
The bar is on the site of former Albanian business 'Dajti' which had its licence revoked six weeks ago.
In a six month period, officers visited neighbours of the bar in Lea Bridge Road, Leyton, on 24 occasions – more than half of the visits were after 11pm.
Officers reported being able to hear music from inside homes with windows and doors closed, and issued warnings to the owner.
It is not clear when the meeting will be held.

Our little persistent troll, Laughingboy seems to have gotten zapped. All of his rantings have disappeared from my board.Good riddance but he was somewhat entertaining.
no, he just doesn't have anything to say when the stock is gaining ground. He's like a verman. Only comes out when shorts are profitable. People like him are the reason why some stocks are having problems getting back to normal.
I don't think he trades at all. Did a search and he has been doing this on different boards for quite some time and has had his posts cleaned off for abuse just like here.I considered he may be a paid pumper but his positions indicate he knows very little about this company. Just skims the headlines and starts typing nonsense. Never once mentioned the bank.Just a lonely little troll trying to get some attention.

Yanks' shoddy infield play gives Jays elusive victory
|New York Yankees second baseman Brian Roberts cannot catch a RBI-single in the infield by Toronto Blue Jays' Dan Johnson as Yankees pitcher Matt Thornton, left, looks on during the seventh inning of a baseball game Saturday, July 26, 2014, at Yankee Stadium in New York. (AP Photo/Bill Kostroun)
Associated Press
NEW YORK — The shortest of hits cost the New York Yankees big.
Brian McCann failed to get any outs on Dioner Navarro's routine grounder to first with two men on.
Second baseman Brian Roberts couldn't come up with Dan Johnson's 70-foot bloop that landed on the infield grass and drove in the go-ahead run.
Johnson added a three-run homer in the ninth, and the Toronto Blue Jays ended their 17-game losing streak at Yankee Stadium with a 6-4 victory over New York on Saturday.
"Bounces don't always go your way," Roberts said.
McCann's two-run homer off Drew Hutchison (7-9) put the Yankees ahead in the fourth. Chris Capuano, making his Yankees debut, allowed the Blue Jays to tie the score in the fifth on Melky Cabrera's RBI double and Steve Tolleson's sacrifice fly.
Toronto went ahead in the seventh after Shawn Kelley (1-3) walked Cabrera leading off, and Jose Bautista doubled him to third.
Navarro, who had three hits, followed with a grounder to McCann, an All-Star catcher playing first base this week because of Mark Teixeira's strained back.
McCann, whose 12 major league appearances at first have all been this season, took a step in, checked the runners, but allowed Navarro to get by him and reach on a fielder's choice that loaded the bases.
"Instead of touching the bag and then making the play, I kind of just started charging," McCann said. "First time I've seen it from that angle. I wish I could slowed the game down a little bit, but the game sped up on me."
Kelley struck out Tolleson, and Johnson was jammed by lefty Matt Thornton as the ball blooped to the right side.
Roberts reacted slowly, and the ball landed on the grass in front of him, with McCann and Thornton not far away. All runners were safe, and Toronto led 3-2.
"Maybe it's a play I'm supposed to make, but it didn't happen," Roberts said. "One guy does everything right and one guy does everything kind of wrong, and the result goes in favor of the one that does everything wrong."
At first, Johnson thought the ball might be caught or even called an infield fly.
"When you lose 17 in a row, you deserve something like that," Toronto manager John Gibbons said.
Being a left-hander, Thornton fell off to the third-base side of the mound.
"If I would have broke immediately, I probably would have been right in the mix of it, too," he said. "And who knows? I might have run into Brian or Brian, and we would have all been laying in there and three runs scored."
Johnson's ninth-inning drive off Jeff Francis, which extended the lead to 6-2, was his first homer since hitting three for the Chicago White Sox at Cleveland on Oct. 3, 2012.
Aaron Loup walked a pair of batters with two outs in the eighth before throwing a called third strike past Brett Gardner on a 3-2 pitch. Casey Janssen allowed Carlos Beltran's two-run homer in the ninth.
Toronto, which had not won at Yankee Stadium since Aug. 29, 2012, sent New York to just its second loss in eight games since the All-Star break.
"You don't expect to beat a team that many times, but they got the best of us today," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
Acquired from Colorado on Thursday, Capuano became the Yankees' 11th starting pitcher and 47th player this season, nine short of the team record set last year. There still was no nameplate above his locker Saturday morning, but one was in place by the end of the game.
A reliever with Boston earlier this season, he allowed two runs, five hits and four walks in six innings. He stranded the bases loaded in 25-pitch first when he retired Johnson on an inning-ending flyout.
"I had a little nerves going in the beginning. Certainly wasn't happy with the four walks but, you know, made some good pitches today when I had to," Capuano said. "Was just thrilled to be out there."
NOTES: Capuano became the first player to appear for the Yankees and the Red Sox in the same season since Darnell McDonald and Justin Thomas in 2012, according to STATS. ... Girardi said Teixeira, out since last weekend, may hit off a tee or soft toss Sunday. ... Both teams were warned in the first inning by plate umpire Alan Porter after Capuano hit Bautista in the ribs and Hutchison hit Beltran above the elbow. ... Yankees CF Jacoby Ellsbury saved a run in the fourth when with a man on he sprinted to the gap in left-center, extended his glove and caught Colby Rasmus' drive while falling. ... The Yankees have started a rookie pitcher a 47 times this season. Entering Saturday, no other team had more than 30.

Clearwater police are looking for a man who stalked a 6-year-old girl at the Macy's inside Countryside Mall Friday night.
Detectives say the man followed her into a bathroom stall and tried to hold her down.
"He barges into the stall where she's at, puts his hand over her mouth, pushes her to the floor and it was her screams which led him to stop whatever it was he was about to do," said Rob Shaw with the Clearwater Police Department.
The girl was physically unharmed, but investigators say the attacker ran and got away.
They hope someone will recognize him for the surveillance photos taken inside the mall.
"Our hope is that someone sees that picture and recognizes hey that's my neighbor, that's the guy that lives down the street, I see that guy at the convenience store once in a while," said Shaw. "The image is pretty clear so that if you know that individual by looking at that photo you would recognize him."
Police are also hoping to find two women who they think were with the attacker right before he assaulted the child.
The girl made it out to her father safely.
"I don't believe she was physically hurt but emotionally traumatized I'm sure she was quite devastated and quite shaken up by it," said Shaw. "I'm sure the father as well was quite shaken up by it. That's one of the reasons were appealing to the public to help find thus individual because we have no idea what his motives were."
Anyone with information on the suspect or the women he was spotted with is asked to call Clearwater police.

Thursday evening, celebrity couples, including our own Steve Asplund and his wife, Ann, hit the stage at the Forest Roberts Theatre at NMU for the first ever Dancing with the Stars Marquette County Style.
Out of eight couples, Jeremy Hansen and Alicia Frechette took home the mirrored ball trophy. However, every couple had a room full of support Thursday evening.
"Well, I have two really good friends in this, Sandy Kivela and Elizabeth Peterson. So I don't want to say who I'm voting for because I don't want either one of them to get mad at me," said Rene Allyn, spectator.
Dancing with the Stars Marquette County Style is the first fundraiser of its kind to happen locally, raising money for U.P. Hospice, and members of the community think it's great.
"I think it's awesome that something like this could be done for our community, and it's great to see such a great turnout," said Sherry Larson, spectator.
The community rallied together to support this cause and to see all of the couples do something they have never done before, taking on dance styles from the Cha Cha to Swing.
"Community members are really putting themselves out there to help the cause, to be there to support them and encourage them. It's just, it's really a great idea and great night," said Scot Fure, spectator.
Guests enjoyed live performances from several local talents.
The event raised at least $35,000 and there are plans for next year.

How many staff members do you need to maximize productivity and quality while containing costs?
The bible of practice staffing ratios, Rightsizing: Appropriate Staffing for Your Medical Practice, by Deborah L. Walker and David Gans, notes that understaffing can negatively impact employee recruiting and retention, disrupt physician productivity, hinder patient service, and place patients and business operations at risk.
On the flip side, Walker and Gans note that overstaffing can lead to poor staff interactions with physicians, a decrease in productivity, and a decrease in the bottom line.
Adequate staffing is one of the more complicated and important issues in healthcare. It's a nettlesome problem that every practice manager will face at one or more points in his or her career.
The issue gets cloudier when you factor in the dearth of qualified clinicians in most areas of the nation and try to determine the impact of the sweeping healthcare reforms and the adaptation of meaningful use for EMRs in your physician practice.
Fortunately, the answer to the question of what determines adequate staffing is simple: It depends.
Cross-training maximizes efficiency
"It is a balancing act. The more physicians you have, the more patients you see, the more staff you should anticipate to take care of them," says Christopher Clarke, practice administrator at South Coast Orthopaedic Associates, an eight-physician practice in Coos Bay, OR. "But you can't get to a level where it's just going to be breaking even. You have enough staff to take care of everybody, but you aren't making money. That is where you have to push the efficiencies."
Clarke says South Coast Orthopaedic stresses cross-training with its five mid-level providers, four physician assistants, and 15 other staff members.
"We do a lot of cross-training—and not just within departments. Each billing staff [member] can do every job in billing," he says. "We also cross-train our medical assistants to work at the front desk; the chart room people too. Anyone can answer the phone. We try to make sure that everybody is cross-trained to the best level possible. That really helps with our efficiencies."
Generally accepted staffing ratios can vary greatly depending on the subspecialty. Clarke says the Medical Group Management Association best practices recommend 7.7 full-time employees (FTE) for each full-time physician at his orthopedic group. "We are at five FTEs, and a lot of it is the efficiency of our staff," Clarke says. "You have to make sure you have the right people in the right jobs being as efficient as possible, and you have to evaluate that and watch your staff."
Staff size by formula
Barbara Daiker, executive director of NorthwestEye, which serves the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, says the 21-physician group uses a formula to determine staff size. "But it's not by doctor. We do it by encounters. We look at how many encounters a doctor has, and we try to staff accordingly," Daiker says.
NorthwestEye, which has 150 employees serving eight clinics and one surgery center, has developed specific encounter ratios for clinical and front desk staff. "We also use a different kind of number for our business office, based on revenues, FTEs per revenue, so they're handling dollars as well," Daiker says. With its encounters, NorthwestEye also takes into account the number of tests ordered. For example, the patient visit itself is a single encounter, but some patients may have two or three tests during their visit, and those may have to be included.
Even using the ratio can be a bit of a challenge as the physician group encounters ebbs and flows of patients in the annual business cycle.
"It's a bit of a floating number," Daiker says, noting that NorthwestEye is currently in its seasonal lull. "We can't change our FTEs per se, based on the lull. We have to ask, 'What do we think will happen over the next six to nine months?' and see if we can flex the hours a little bit now based on where we think we are going to be once we hit our busy time. We don't want to do any kinds of layoffs or staffing up until we can be sure where we are."
Unexpected stability
The recession and overall economic malaise that have gripped the nation for more than two years have had at least one unexpected upside for office administrators: Staff is staying put. "We have had no resignations for four or five months at this point, which is a long time for us. It's not like we are a place where people bail from, but people get relocated or they have babies or whatever, so it is kind of unusual to go that long," Daiker says.
When a job opening is posted, NorthwestEye gets flooded with applicants who aren't necessarily qualified. "That makes it hard because you have to sort through a lot of stuff to find qualified applicants," says Daiker. "It used to be recruitment was expensive when the labor market was tight. Now, it doesn't cost much to recruit, but it is the training, the orientation, that takes a lot. Even if they come from another eye group, they don't necessarily know how to do it our way."
Although cutting back hours to maintain adequate staffing is preferable to layoffs, it can still get tricky. "We try to solicit reduced hours from employees, but you can only do that so much before people get skittish," Daiker says. "We try to be fair. It's easier for everyone to lose an hour than it is for one person to lose eight hours. Also, because we are in Minnesota, when the weather gets nicer, people are a little more open to cutting back some hours and heading outside."
Clarke agrees it's best to avoid layoffs when possible. He cites the recent and abrupt departure of a particularly high-volume orthopedic surgeon at South Coast, which left the physician group with a temporary excess of employees who'd been brought in to handle the anticipated new business. Although there were some employee cutbacks, Clarke says South Coast tried to keep as many employees as it could because it anticipated hiring more physicians in the coming months. It is easier to keep those employees on board doing other things, and it is a great time to cross-train them, he says, adding that when the new doctor comes on board, you can stick those employees in the job they were hired for and they can hit the ground running.
