Currently has 71% on RT. I'm rarely hearing bad things about it since it has been released on Wednesday overseas in UK. I have good feelings about this film.

Ah, what better way to celebrate the 8th anniversary of 9/11 than by releasing a movie about young, half naked women being murdered for our amusement? Also, I love it whenever MWG says a movie is doing well on RT, because every time he does, the movie drops into the 30s or 20s on the day of its release.

Well, sure enough, the movie's RT rating is well into the 30s, and the movie opened in 6th place. That means movie goers either don't care for a horror movie with an all girl cast, or they saw it for what it was: a "I Know What You Did Last Summer" knockoff. A new Worst Ensemble Cast award, anyone?

The consulting division of British-based car maker Lotus Group International will build at an expected automobile testing center in Northampton County. Governor Easley says Lotus Engineering Incorporated will create a research and development center with 108 jobs paying salaries of about $48,000. Easley's office says that's nearly double the rural northeast county's average of $24,128. The company's planned $1.5 million investment could be nearly fully offset by state incentives. Lotus Engineering could land up to nearly that much in tax breaks through a state Job Development Incentive Grant over nine years if it creates the predicted number of jobs. The facility will be built at the Advanced Vehicle Research Center in Garysburg, which is expected to be open later this year.

Improving Glycemic Control in Older Adults Using a Videophone Motivational Diabetes Self-Management Intervention
Hawkins, Shelley Y., Research and Theory for Nursing Practice
Older adults experience the greatest burden of diabetes. Resources must be available and accessible to empower older adults to perform diabetes self-care. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a videophone motivational interviewing (MI) diabetes self-management education (DSME) intervention to improve glycemic control of rural older adults. Sixty-six participants (mean age = 64.9 years, range 60-81) with uncontrolled diabetes were enrolled in a 6-month videophone intervention. Experimental group participants (n = 34) received weekly, then monthly, videophone MI DSME calls, whereas control participants (n = 32) received monthly videophone healthy-lifestyle education calls. Although both groups experienced a decreased HbA1c, there was a statistically significant difference in experimental group mean values (p = .015), but not the control group (p = .086). The experimental group demonstrated statistically significant increases in diabetes knowledge (p = .023) and diabetes self-efficacy (p = .002). Experimental group participants with high self-efficacy in contrast to low self-efficacy had a statistically significant decrease in HbA1c (p = .043).
Keywords: diabetes self-management ; telehomecare ; motivational intervention ; videophone
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is emerging as a public health epidemic of the 21st century, with approximately 17 million persons affected in the United States ( American Diabetes Association [ADA], 2010 ). Older Americans experience the greatest burden of diabetes. Currently, 12.2 million or 23.1% of adults aged 60 and older are living with the disease (ADA, 2010). Diabetes self-management education (DSME) is a critical part of diabetes care and must be ongoing to facilitate the knowledge, skill, and ability necessary for diabetes self-care ( Funnell et al., 2008 ). However, the majority of DSME programs are delivered in an episodic way with limited follow-up resulting in short-term diabetes-related health improvements ( Osborn & Fisher, 2008 ). Like all patients, older adults need participatory patientcentered interventions that provide ongoing diabetes self-management support (DSMS) to facilitate long-term management ( Funnell et al., 2008 ). Furthermore, DSME resources must be readily available and accessible for older adults. This requires health care providers to explore acceptable alternative delivery systems that empower older adults to perform diabetes self-care ( Bowles & Horowitz, 2008 ; Wakefield et al., 2008 ).
Evidence exists that glycemic control can significantly delay the development of and/or reduce the risk of long-term complications associated with T2DM ( Holman, Paul, Bethel, Matthews, & Neil, 2008 ; Skyler et al., 2009 ). DSME is foundational for achieving glycemic control and preventing or delaying the onset of complications by improving patient self-care behaviors ( Stettler et al., 2006 ; UKPDS, 1998 ). However, health-related improvements from DSME programs do not persist over the long term without ongoing follow-up interventions ( Heisler & Resnicow, 2008 ). Initial improvements in metabolic and behavioral outcomes diminish approximately after 6 months from lack of self-management (ADA, 2010). At intervals longer than 12 months, there have been reports of decline of more than 50% of knowledge learned ( Grover, Kozik, & Fogelfeld, 2007 ; Tang et al., 2005 ).
DSME programs have traditionally approached diabetes as a physical illness rather than biopsychosocial, whereby education is initially delivered following diagnosis and episodically following a health crisis precipitated by poor glycemic control (Anderson & Funnell, 2008). The health care provider is the problem solver and identifies the patient's learning needs, while the patient remains passive and powerless. Standardized brochures, videotapes, and other educational resources are used with all patients regardless of age, gender, culture, or functional abilities ( Leeman, Skelly, Burns, Carlson, & Soward, 2008 ). …

Midwestern farmers still drying out their formerly flooded farmland are likely to get hit with another punch – steep increases in crop insurance premiums. The reason: much of the damage from last summer's epic flooding still has not been repaired.
The Missouri River rose to its highest levels in recorded history this past year, following the release of massive amounts of water from upstream dams and reservoirs in Montana, Nebraska and the Dakotas.
Weakened levees were overtaken, flooding thousands of acres, ruining fields, homes and infrastructure.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency said this week $114 million in claims have been paid so far for flooding damage on 436,000 acres downstream from the Gavins Point dam on the Nebraska/South Dakota border.
The Mississippi River was not immune to the devastation. On the Birds Point levee south of St. Louis, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers blew a hole in a levee, attempting to save the tiny town of Cairo, Illinois. Thousands of acres were flooded as a result of the Corps' decision. One Missouri producer, watched helplessly as 8,000 acres of his farm succumbed to floodwaters. He received $1.5 million in federally-subsidized crop insurance benefits. But, his premium increased five-fold on a recently planted wheat crop because, USDA now considers his land to be high-risk.
Officials with the USDA's Risk Management Agency began warning farmers of potential rate increases over the summer because they didn't want them to be shocked when the 2012 rates were announced.
It can be two to three times more expensive to insure farmland behind damaged levees than those where repairs have been made.
The corps estimates it will cost more than $2 billion to repair damage this year's flooding inflicted on levees, dams and riverbanks. With a funding bill stalled in Congress, the corps has been focusing its limited resources on fixing vital levees protecting communities and facilities such as water treatment plants.
Farmers also must restore their soil to pre-flood conditions to get their insurance rates back down. Flooding often cuts massive ruts in the land, washes away top soil and inundates fields with sand.
The levee at Birds Point was 62.5 feet high before the explosion. Generally levees must be restored to their pre-flooding condition, but in the case of Birds Point, farmers won't face big premium increases if the corps gets it back up to 55 feet before spring planting.

Oklahoma football: Sooners talk Mack Brown
As a college football historian, I'm going to miss Mack Brown. More notably, I'm going to miss the Bob Stoops/Mack Brown rivalry.
I've written about it many times. Stoops vs. Mack was one of the best coaching duels in college football history. Now it's over, at 15 straight years.
I was hoping Stoops and Mack could last another five years and set the record. Darrell Royal and Frank Broyles went at each other 19 straight, Royal at Texas, Broyles at Arkansas, 1958-76.
But it's not to be. Mack resigned Saturday night and will take a 6-9 record against Stoops with him. Mack arrived at Texas a year before Stoops came to OU, so Mack's record against the Sooners is 7-9.
Stoops was not overly sentimental Monday when asked about Brown. He also wasn't dismissive.
"They'll be someone else there that you've got to compete against," Stoops said. But "you've got to credit Mack for the consistent success for such along time. I've got great respect for the way he's run his program. Always a first-class program."
Stoops said he didn't know how to characterize their relationship. "Mack and I have always had a very mutual, respectful relationship," Stoops said. "You appreciate and respect it, because you know the challenges of it. Always felt that way about Mack. We don't have occasion to get together much. We've always been very cordial, friendly, because we do respect what each of us have to do."
Of course, Stoops hastened Mack's departure with four blowout victories over the years: 63-14 in 2000, 65-13 in 2003, 55-17 in 2011 and 63-21 in 2012. Mack stemmed the idea of his ouster with a 36-20 victory this October, but in the end, the Longhorns' slip into mediocrity was too mighty.
"Certain days you get hot, you play well," Stoops said, offering no other explanation for OU's domination.
Sooners Gabe Ikard and Aaron Colvin were complimentary of Mack.
"I have a lot of respect for Mack Brown," said Colvin, a senior cornerback. "I had a chance to exchange some words at halftime and after the game. Always seemed like a positive guy. He took a lot of criticism. But his team always had found ways to win. They beat us this year. I have a lot of respect for that guy. The respect he's given me. He told me a lot of positive things he's expecting from me. I really respect that."
Said Ikard, "Great coach. Put one of the premier programs together."
Ikard said he shared an elevator with Brown last week in New York, during the various awards functions. "He was very complimentary, very classy to me. Always a guy, isn't scared to tell you how he feels. Tell you you're a good player.
"It's a shame he's gotta end his career like that, but I thought his statement about returning, getting Texas back to the premier program, that was some powerful and honest stuff. Takes a lot of integrity and courage to be able to say something like that. What he's done for that program can't be overstated. Interested to see who they hire. But Mack Brown's a classy dude. Wish him the best."
So here is the list of the 10 longest-running annual coaching rivalries:
19 years: Darrell Royal, Texas, vs. Frank Broyles, Arkansas, 1958-76. Royal led 15-4.
18: Bear Bryant, Alabama, vs. Shug Jordan, Auburn, 1958-75. Bryant led 13-5.
16: Rip Engle, Penn State, vs. Ben Schwartzwalder, Syracuse. Schwartzwalder led 9-7.
16: Barry Switzer, Oklahoma, vs. Tom Osborne, Nebraska, 1973-88. Switzer led 12-5.
16: Bear Bryant, Alabama, vs. Charley McClendon, LSU, 1964-79. Bryant led 14-2.
16: Wally Butts, Georgia, vs. Bobby Dodd, Georgia Tech, 1945-60. Dodd led 9-7.
16: Don James, Washington, vs. Rich Brooks, Oregon, 1977-92. James led 13-3.
15: Fisher DeBerry, Air Force, vs. Lavell Edwards, Brigham Young, 1984-2000. Edwards led 12-3.
15: Bob Stoops, Oklahoma, vs. Mack Brown, Texas, 1999-2013. Stoops led 9-6.

Legacy guard Kailey Edwards is Ms. Colorado Basketball
|Colorado's Ms. Basketball, Kailey Edwards of Legacy, a 5-9 senior, at the Pepsi Center on Friday.
(Joe Amon, The Denver Post)
It required enormous commitment, acceptance in whatever role was asked, four years and 107 games, but Kailey Edwards is appreciative of all she has experienced. And going out in a manner she always wanted, as a winner.
The Legacy High senior was on the court for nearly every meaningful minute of every game the past four seasons, a four-year starter who will next play for the University of Denver. She led her team to the Class 5A title this spring and now can claim Ms. Colorado honors by The Denver Post as the state's outstanding female basketball player.
"Ending it the way I did it was everything I wanted," said Edwards, a 5-foot-9 guard who took her place in state annals as a money player. "But I'm also counting down the days."
Edwards' senior season capped a career in which she evolved from a steady role player to a star with the ability to make clutch plays almost on demand. That ability to be at her best when it mattered most separated her from other top contenders for player-of-the-year honors.
Early in the season, she helped fuel a rout of defending state champion Highlands Ranch. Despite losing twice during the regular season to Monarch, Edwards helped Legacy get revenge against their Front Range League rival in the state championship game, 58-51. She scored a game-high 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
In a semifinal victory over Highlands Ranch, she was held to nine points, but in a Great 8 victory over Doherty, her drive to the basket and layup in the final seconds was the difference in a 64-62 victory. In the Sweet 16, she had 17 points and six rebounds as Legacy escaped East 74-70 in overtime.
The Lightning had victories over four straight league champs en route to the title.
"I didn't even realize that until after we had won," Edwards said.
Coach Craig Van Patten did and said Edwards was a big reason why.
"A coach's dream," Van Patten said. "She could average 25 points if she wanted to. She involved her teammates, did whatever we needed."
Edwards averaged 18.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.6 steals to help give the school its first state championship other than softball.
Generally regarded as more savvy than athletic, Edwards relied on her experience and top-notch fundamentals.
"A great kid," said Pueblo South coach Shannan Lane, who oversaw Edwards in The Show all-star game last weekend. "I liked what Kailey said (at game's end). 'Hey, we had fun and that's all that matters.' "
Van Patten insists his star's ability to come through in the clutch was all part of how she carried herself, saying: "I'm very proud of the person Kailey has become on and off the court. She did more for her team than anybody else."

This no holds barred fight to the finish comes about after Treena tires of Morgan's taunts about her loss to Allison. And what a fight it is, as there is plenty of rough-housing, slapping, yanking, and straining - enough to satisy the most diehard catfight fans.
The New York street-tough Morgan, at 5' 7", 125 lbs., and the California beauty, Treena at 5' 8 1/2", 136 lbs., are intense beyond belief as they are really intent on gaining the upper hand and meting out punishment.

I'm 6 weeks 6 days today and yesterday I started spotting and cramping. Today it got worse and the blood turned from brown to red. When I got to the doctors the ultrasound picked up a heartbeat and showed that I had a small pool of blood in my utereus caused by my over exercising with weights and with my husband (know what I mean).

Aspiring models lined up Saturday in Rocky Mount for their shot at stardom and a chance to be on the CW's networks prime time program.
There was a casting call for America's Next Top model over at the Golden East Crossing mall in Rocky Mount.
The event was co-sponsored by the Rocky Mount Telegram.
Model hopefuls came from as far as Virgina to get their chance at stardom.
The casting call took place from 1 to 5 pm Saturday afternoon and whoever gets chosen will have a chance at the final casting call in Los Angeles.
Many said this was a chance they could not pass up. One even saying she would leave school. Erika Simmons a student at ECU says, "I'm a junior so it would be difficult for me to leave ECU but if i had a chance to be on the show it would be the chance of a lifetime and I would leave ECU for this."
This is the second year in a row this model search has come to our area.
The Rocky Mount Telegram will post the top ten finalist from our area on their website on Sunday.
A spokesperson for the paper says people can log on to their website and cast their vote on who they think should go to the final casting call in Los Angeles.
If you would like to vote on who you think should go then log on to http://www.rockymounttelegram.com/ and cast your vote.

Not sure about the progesterone, but the clothes thing is probably due to bloating. Many women bloat a LOT in the beginning. And I had spotting weeks 5-6 if it makes you feel any better :) Just keep an eye out for bright red blood, that is when you should start calling your OB. Brown or pink blood is usually ok.posted 02/28/2013 by Czerenity
As long as your doctor says your size is fine, then you have nothing to worry about. I had the opposite problem, Everyone tells me i look tiny & never believe it when i tell them im 36 weeks.

Water's Edge is a photographic exploration of bodies of water and their borders. The photographs were made on different continents over more than 20 years. The result is a portfolio of images intended to connect to our emotions, to elicit a sense of wonder.
Each image is meant to stir the memory as much as the imagination. The vast, breathtaking horizons that bodies of water can produce and the intimate activities that take place along the edges of those bodies, both evoke simple pleasures and serious reflection. I have been drawn to the edge of the water to find solace, a renewal of energy and a reminder that we are connected to the infinite.

Laura Stoecker is a staff photographer covering Kane and McHenry counties. She has been in the field since 1994. She attended Columbia College Chicago where she earned a bachelor's degree in photography with a concentration in photojournalism.
During college, she freelanced for weekly suburban newspapers, an online prep sports magazine and other businesses. She had several internships including the Chicago Mayor's Office of Special Events and the United Way, before joining the Daily Herald in 1998.
Laura has received several awards from the National Press Photographers Association and the Illinois Press Photographers Association for her work over the years. The one she is most proud of is a 2005 Peter Lisagor Award for her four-part feature story on Luke and Zach Branson of North Aurora, twins with spastic cerebral palsy. Laura worked on the series for three years covering their daily lives with their family, as well as hyperbaric oxygen treatments in Florida, medical treatments, surgeries to help them walk, their road to recovery and seeing them walk with the aid of braces and a walker. She both wrote and photographed the story.
Nine months after Hurricane Katrina hit, Laura traveled with a reporter to Mississippi to cover restoration efforts of a church youth group on their spring break. Images from that project are still among the favorites in her portfolio today.
Beyond her work for the Daily Herald, Laura tries to make a difference in the communities she covers. She volunteers her time to many organizations in the Tri-Cities area, including Field of Dreams Horse Rescue and Adoption in St. Charles, the Autism Society of Illinois and Water Street Studios in Batavia.

The 6-2, 210-pound Francois is a four-star player according to Rivals.com and is rated as the eighth-best safety in America. "It hit me as soon as the game was over," Francois said.

Greater chance of getting pregnant after Tubal ligation with Newborn?
So I just had my 4th baby by c-section 9 weeks ago. While they were in there they cut and burned my tubes. I have yet to have a period and do not breast feed. I am feeling nauseous, tired and my chest is really sore. Do you think I could be pregnant even though my surgery is still so new?!

Group Deals - a Groupon clone for Drupal
I've created a new Drupal distribution called Group Deals that gives you a Groupon website out of the box.
Based on Drupal 7 and Drupal Commerce, and originally written by the developers of Open Deals.
I'm very happy that the Open Deals developers open sourced their product. However, there were a few issues that prompted me to create this distro:
a) the creators of Open Deals want to use Open Deals as a platform to promote their Drupal services by adding default content that promotes their professional services, as well as on the D.org project page
- this is actually a great way to promote ones services, but I don't believe it's appropriate for any software hosted on Drupal.org
b) the creators of Open Deals haven't responded to questions and patches in the issue queue for about 4 months
c) the creators of Open Deals haven't updated the modules for about 4 months
Again, I'm really happy that they want to open source their platform. Kudos to them!
How will Group Deals be different than Open Deals?
I've gone through the issue queue and found a lot of useful suggestions for making Open Deals much better, so my first priority is to implement those patches and new features. All the new features will be listed on the project page.
The goal for version 1 is to make Group Deals a very powerful and immediately useful Groupon clone.
Version 2 will aim to surpass version 1's features and push the boundaries of group deal websites by adding innovative new features, reworking the layout and design, improving the workflow wherever possible, integrating with other Drupal modules, etc.
Group Deals will be THE Groupon clone everyone must have :)
Tue, 2012-06-19 04:10
merging the distro in existing site.
I have a existing Website and want to merge group deal distro with my website, kindly help me to merge the same or kindly guide me how to do that.
Why are you "forking" the Open Deals distribution and not joining forces with the original creators? And please let me disagree with what you say above:
a) There is nothing wrong with that. Actually i think its good to know that if you need professional support you can have it.
b) You can respond to issue queues as a normal drupal . org member
c) You can provide patches and updates as a normal drupal . org member
It seems like you are a nice guy with fresh ideas.
It is better to join the "Open Deals" project than forking a new one.
Think about it.
And what will happen if they release a next version or update with some very cool features. Are you going to "copy" that manually and apply it to your distrib?
Unite dont Devide!
ok cool...
About Forking: I think there are two main reasons do fork a project. 1) If your ideas and goals differ from the original creator and you cannot collaborate together. 2) If the original creator dropped the project and no longer develop it. But i don't think that's the case here. Have you tired to get into that project?
Because as long as that one development house gets all the promotion, other developers - including me - will not feel motivated to contribute to the project. Why should they get all the financial benefit when other developers are potentially contributing tons of work?
There are many Drupal modules and project that are made by companies that promote their services. For example behind the "Drupal Core" project is the "Acquia" company. Where all the major "Drupal core" players work (Dries, Webchick etc..) . They are making big money from Drupal (Pro Support, Site Development, Drupal Gardens Hosting, Seminars, etc...) And this is fine! We all benefit. Money motivate people to improve they product and services. Companies improve open source projects. Here is a quick example of Drupal vs Wordpress. Almost all of the Drupal themes are free where most of the Wordpress are Commercial themes made by companies or theme clubs who charge money. What is the result you ask? ... Well Drupal is "ugly", while WordPress has the most and the pretties themes of all CMSes.
I can dig deeper and show you that open source is a great business model for many companies if you want...
In the mean time i wish you luck with your fork (or collaboration with the creators of the original open deals dristribution) !
Much respect,
Even if we disagree on some things
- ANDiTKO
Group Deals - 2.0
I would like to change the business model of this type of site. I would like to propose that it becomes a coupon site, in that buyers get coupons from merchants and redeem them at the merchants store. The merchant would pay a fee to have their coupon on the site. The merchant could upload their artwork, set the discount and the length of time the promotion is good for, then they pay $x and then they can check out with cc. Would need to create profile for the merchants to complete and update. Now to add some cool features like smartphone check-in (foursquare) and then the buyers could accumulate points for referrals and purchases. Then create Analytics that the Merchant could see how many people downloaded coupon/redeem coupon etc.
Could the developer set a price and maybe we could do contribution to develop this version.
If you research Groupon their business model makes money for Groupon but not necessarily the merchants. I think this version is better for the merchant, doesn't require sales force to sell ads and it would be self service for the merchants.

2012 Chrysler 300 Luxury Series: A New Flagship Sets Sail
At this stage, the folks at Cadillac and Lincoln—and perhaps Audi and BMW, too—had better start taking the Chrysler Group's full-size flagship more seriously. With an all-new, seriously upscale interior, the range-topping 2012 Chrysler 300 Luxury Series doesn't just push the envelope for premium American sedans, it knocks it down and stomps on it. That's not just hyperbole, either. This latest addition to the Chrysler 300 lineup offers a surprising number of exclusive and best-in-class benefits, wrapped in a clean, sophisticated design that achieves best-in-class fuel efficiency.
The 2012 Chrysler 300 Luxury Series is scheduled to go on sale beginning in the first quarter of 2012, with MSRPs that range from $40,145 for the 300 Luxury Series to $42,895 for the 300C Luxury Series; tack on an extra $2,350 for AWD models.
2012 Chrysler 300 Luxury Series: A New Flagship Sets Sail
The Most Luxurious Chrysler 300 Ever
The 300 Luxury Series offers the full gamut of expected premium content, but what really sets it apart from the competition is a cabin that's thoroughly adorned in soft leather surfaces. This includes the same kind of high-grade Italian "Frau Foligno" leather found in exotic supercars and is used to wrap the instrument panel, cluster brow, center console side panels and upper front and rear door panels in the 300 Luxury Series. Then, super-supple Nappa leather covers the door armrests, bolsters and center console armrest as well as the front and rear seats. Providing an ideal accent to that rich use of leather, a hand-sanded, natural-pore Mocha wood trim adds an elegant matte finish.
Other noteworthy interior content includes:
• Two-mode ventilation and two-mode heating for front and rear seats
• Driver and front-passenger 12-way power-adjustable seats with four-way power lumbar support
• Die-cast paddle shifters
• Dual heated/cooled cup holders
• The segment's only steering wheel that is heated throughout its entire rim.
• A cutting-edge infotainment/connectivity/nav system with the largest touchscreen in the segment—at 8.4 inches, it's even larger than the screen in the new Cadillac CUE system
• An LED-illuminated instrument cluster and ambient lighting
• Power-adjustable pedals with memory
• Thick, 18-ounce Berber floor mats
• A power backlight shade
• Satin-chrome door sills
• An auto-dimming/auto-tilting driver's-side mirror
Exterior upgrades on the 300 Luxury Series are more subtle, and highlighted by two different wheel designs. Rear-wheel-drive models get 20-inch wheels with polished faces, while all-wheel-drive cars are outfitted with 19-inch aluminum wheels with painted pockets. For an added touch of distinction, platinum-chrome accents can be found on the car's fascias, exterior mirror caps, door handles and grille surround, while the grille itself is platinum-chrome mesh.
2012 Chrysler 300 Luxury Series: A New Flagship Sets Sail
The Most Fuel-Efficient 300 Ever
Another example of how Chrysler has moved into the vanguard of the full-size sedan segment is the 300's eight-speed automatic transmission—a class-exclusive. Those extra cogs, combined with the Chrysler Group's award-winning Pentastar V-6 engine, deliver very impressive EPA ratings. The automaker breaks the numbers out as follows:
• Best-in-class highway fuel economy (31 highway mpg)
• Best-in-class V-6 AWD fuel economy (18 city and 27 highway mpg)
• Best-in-class combined fuel economy (23 with RWD, 21 with AWD)
• Unsurpassed city fuel economy (19 city mpg RWD, 18 mpg AWD)
• Overall unsurpassed fuel economy in its class (19 city and 31 highway mpg with RWD)
A particular factor driving that AWD fuel-economy performance—and another Chrysler-only advantage—is the automaker's unique all-wheel-drive setup. It's the only system from a major automaker that combines both an active transfer case and technology that automatically disconnects the front axle from the driveline when AWD functionality isn't needed, helping to maximize fuel efficiency.
The Luxury Series—with both rear- and all-wheel-drive—also is available with the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 with Chrysler's Fuel Saver Technology cylinder-deactivation system and dual variable valve timing. It's not quite as thrifty as the Pentastar but makes up for that by packing some 363 hp and 394 lb.-ft. of torque.
(Note: Technically, the "300 Luxury Series" refers to V6-powered cars, while those with HEMI engines are part of the "300C Luxury Series.")
2012 Chrysler 300 Luxury Series: A New Flagship Sets Sail
The Best-Sounding 300 Ever
Okay, that's a claim that Chrysler doesn't make, but it's certainly feasible for 300 Luxury Series models equipped with the available "Beats by Dr. Dre" sound system. This is the first automotive application of Dre's proprietary, audiophile-grade audio technologies and was custom-tuned by the good doctor and legendary music producer Jimmy Iovine specifically for the Chrysler 300's cabin. In the mix here are a 522-watt, 12-channel amplifier and 10 speakers, including three 3.5-inch speakers mounted in the instrument panel, two 3.5-inch speakers located in the rear doors, two 6 x 9-inch front-door woofers, and two 6 x 9-inch speakers and a center-mounted 8-inch speaker located in the rear-shelf area. And there's plenty of funk in the trunk, courtesy of an 8-inch Beats Audio trunk-mounted dual-voice coil subwoofer with a sealed enclosure.

As the WSJ has reported over the last few months, European banks, who have traditionally been big lenders to corporates in Asia, have steadily scaled back their lending as they retrench to their home markets and recapitalize their balance sheets.
So it's worth highlighting that three Asian banks made it into the syndicate of six who are in talks to lend $3 billion to Alibaba to buy back its stake in Yahoo Inc. They are Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd., Singapore's DBS Bank Ltd. and Mizuho Financial Group.
Japanese banks are a natural fit as they've already been aggressively lending and buying assets globally given their cash-heavy balance sheets, while growth is almost non-existent at home.
But there's also room for new players, says Barclays Capital banking analyst Tom Quarmby, who see's ANZ and DBS as best placed of anyone to gain from the European retrenchment in the syndicated lending space. Both have already flagged intentions of becoming big regional players in Asia.
ANZ is in a very comfortable funding position, allowing it to embark on an "aggressive expansion in Asia," says BarCap. While the funding positions of Australian and Singaporean banks are likely to improve further as investors like U.S. money market funds pull money from euro zone banks to what they perceive to be safer destinations.
But these banks didn't get where they are from being reckless.
"Australian banks are among the healthiest in the world, in part because of its historically hawkish regulators. I don't see these same regulators now allowing them to do what they like [in terms of lending]. They will still need to justify the rationale behind it," said Peter Elleman, head of Asia-Pacific loan market origination at Royal Bank of Scotland PLC.

The two cars, driven by Johnny Herbert, Fabrizio de Simone, Andrea Bertolini and Mika Salo, qualified eighth and 12th for their first race, a three-hour 500km endurance event, which takes place tomorrow (Sunday).
Fabrizio Gollin and Luca Cappellari will start the race from pole position in their Ferrari 550 Maranello having set a time just eight hundredths of a second faster than the two Konrad Motorsport Saleen S7Rs of Walter Lechner Junior and Uwe Alzen. Gollin and Cappellari lead the championship by 13.5 points with just three races to go having won three times. Ferrari lie first, second and third in the constructors table with their teams BMS Scuderia Italia, GPC GIesse Squadra Corse and JMB Racing and its drivers fill the first nine positions in the drivers' table after a dominant performance so far this year.
Just over one tenth of a second separated the top three cars in qualifying at Imola, setting up a fantastic race, the eighth round of the championship. The two Maseratis are running with restrictions placed on them by the FIA, including 60kg ballast carried by every new car to the championship, and extra weight for Salo, who finished second at the Spa 24-hours last month while driving for the GPC team.

Meet Our Admissions Team
Andrianna Gulotta
Admissions Counselor
Recruiting Territory: Lower Mid-Hudson & CT
What is one of your favorite things about SUNY Cobleskill?
My favorite thing about Cobleskill is the close knit community feel of the college. We are a smaller college with 2,600 students. I attended Cobleskill and got my Associates here and it felt like a second home to me because of how small the campus is and how friendly everyone was!
What advice would you give a prospective student about choosing a college?
The number one thing I advise prospective students to do when choosing a college is to visit the college when all the students and faculty are back on campus, and example is attending an open house. When you visit during an open house you can really sense the atmosphere of the campus. You will know if it is the right fit for you!
What is an interesting hobby or special talent you have?
I love baking, especially apple pies. My pie usually consists of 3-5 pounds of apples with lots of flavor. I make the dough from scratch and make cute designs on my pies. Fall is one of my favorite seasons because of the many orchards around Cobleskill to go apple picking and make numerous delicious pies!
A new hobby of mine is collecting wine corks. I started this a few months ago. Once I get enough I would like to make different items with them such as trivets, coasters, platters, and hopefully one day have a wine cork table top!
What program did you study at SUNY Cobleskill?
My major at SUNY Cobleskill was Liberal Arts and Science: Social Science with a concentration in Physical Education. After graduating from SUNY Cobleskill I continued on to receive my Bachelor of Science: Sport Management Degree.
What did you like best about your college experience?
My best experience about college was all of the sports, clubs and recreational activities you could get involved with. At Cobleskill one of my best and most rewarding experiences was being able to get involved with the American Red Cross and with Jeff Foote, the Director of the Student Life Office. I was an active recruiter on campus and helped on the day of the blood drives trying to get people to donate and help with registration. At the end of the year SUNY Cobleskill was recognized as the top school in blood donations out of all of the SUNY Schools for the first time. Cobleskill now has been recognized as the top school for blood donations by SUNY for the sixth straight year! Go Cobleskill!

January 7, 2011
Jim Comparoni
After a whirlwind December, the recruitment of Desimon Green has taken on a refreshingly old-fashioned feel. Meanwhile, the hustle of Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio has given the Spartans a mini leg up, heading into his three January official visits.What is old fashioned about Green's recruitment? The fact that he is down to three favorites - Michigan State, Texas Tech and Illinois - and he has never set foot on campus at any of those schools, not for a game, not for a summer camp. When he takes official visits to those schools - beginning with his trip to MSU on Jan. 14, followed by Illinois on Jan. 21 and Texas Tech on Jan. 28 - he will be taking his first long look at each school, with an open mind. That's the way recruiting used to work for out-of-state recruits, back in the old days.As for Dantonio, he may have taken an early lead over his head coaching counter parts from Illinois and Texas Tech by being the lone head coach of the three to pay a visit to Green's high school in mid-December."He likes all three of those coaches," Nola said of Dantonio, Texas Tech's Tommy Tuberville and Illinois' Ron Zook. "The head coach of Michigan State, Dantonio, he came down to see Des, and Des liked that when the head coach came down. The assistants from Illinois and Texas Tech came here and he had nice talks with them and he liked them too."Green, a 6-foot-5, 230-pound defensive end prospect, ranked the No. 32 player in Pennsylvania by Rivals.com, ended up in this late-breaking, fact-gathering situation due to the firing of former Pittsburgh head coach Dave Wannstedt. Green committed to Pitt last summer, before the camp season, and never had reason to visit other campuses. That all changed when Wannstedt was fired in early December. "He is sort of glad that things didn't work out at Pitt because now he gets to re-look," said Tom Nola, head coach at Clairton (Pa.) High School, where Green helped his team win the Class A state championship. Texas Tech, Illinois and Michigan State had Green high on their wish lists last spring and summer, prior to Green's commitment to Pitt."He liked those three schools from the beginning," Nola said. "He just committed to Pitt because it was here, in his hometown. A couple of his friends were on that Pitt team already, so he committed to them."Wannstedt's firing stunned Green. But Nola says Green has bounced back positively."He likes getting the attention again," Nola said. "He was getting it for a while, before he committed to Pitt. He had 'em all in here, after him. And he liked that. Now he is back in it, and he is sort of that kind of person, he likes the attention."He certainly soaked it up as a two-way star for Clairton's championship team. He had 12 sacks as a stand-up defensive end this year in Clairton's 3-4 scheme. Nola has clocked Green at 4.7 in the 40-yard dash, which is good horsepower for a 6-foot-5 guy with moves and strength. Green could probably play tight end at a high D-1 level with no problem. But there is more demand for the rare commodities he possesses as a prospect on the defensive edge."Teams want him as that outside person, in a 3-4 as either the outside linebacker or a 4-3 as a defensive end," Nola said.MSU, Illinois and Texas Tech are base 4-3 teams. But MSU's system is open to standing a defensive end up in some situations, if the players has the necessary talents. Rutgers tried to get Green to schedule a late visit. But Green's dance card was already filled with visits on the last three weekends of January to his three favorites."He just has those three," Nola said. "He liked all three of those coaches."MSU will bat first. Green used a Spartan logo as his Facebook profile photo earlier this week, prompting friends to ask if that's where he will sign. No answer from Green, as he is still getting to know his three finalists.MSU tight ends and tackles coach, Mark Staten, has served as the Spartans' primary area recruiter for Green."He is the one that made the original contact," Nola said of Staten.When asked if he believes any of the three schools may have an edge over the others, Nola said: "I don't want to speak for him but he really liked Michigan State because Coach Dantonio was the only head coach to come down and personally talk to him."The talks will increase in urgency and importance as Green gets ready for his first official visit, midway through the month of January. ...More...

Advanced Micro Devices' Quarterly Earnings Analysis: By the Numbers
AMD just reported its preliminary results for the last quarter. CapitalCube provides us with its unique analysis of the chipmaker's performance.
AMD just reported its preliminary results for the last quarter. CapitalCube provides us with its unique analysis of the chipmaker's performance.
Just a day after the market had its best day of 2014, it had its worst. The Dow plunged 334 points as fear about the global economy sent investors fleeing.
The market rallied early thanks to a better-than-expected jobs report, but the gains quickly faded over the situation in Ukraine. The major indexes ended Friday mixed.
Just in case you missed Tuesday session, you got to re-live it Wednesday, with the Dow Jones industrial average edging lower but the Nasdaq posting solid gains.
Signs that lawmakers in Washington were moving closer to reaching an agreement over the debt ceiling helped push stocks higher Monday.
Among the items that will help shape the week that lies ahead on Wall Street, Microsoft and eBay will both step up to the earnings soapbox.
PC chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Thursday it will cut its work force of nearly 12,000 by 15 percent, its second round of layoffs in less than a year as it struggles with a weak global economy and a consumer shift toward tablets.
The chip maker that was a thorn in Intel's side during the PC glory years announced preliminary quarterly results after Thursday's market close, and it wasn't pretty.
Zynga's stock has shed more than two thirds of its value since the company went public at $10 just nine months ago, but now the online gamemaker is in the news for something that may actually be good.
Buyouts, bum guidance, and a broadening decline for a one-time tech titan top the week in review. Go inside the stories that prompted this week's big buys and sells in the nexus between Wall Street and Silicon Valley.
After a wild third quarter, the market seems to have stabilized a bit this week, in spite of a late Friday drop. With little macro-data news, investors turned their focus to Europe's debt crisis and third-quarter earnings season. Company-specific news drove stocks; here's a closer look at some of the S&P 500's most notable movers.
Intel Halts Chipset Shipment Over Design Flaws, Revises Outlook
Stocks closed mixed Friday as better-than-expected earnings from General Electric helped the Dow and S&P 500 snap two-day losing streaks, but the Nasdaq closed lower after disappointing results from Advanced Micro Devices.
AMD announced the resignation of CEO Dirk Meyer Monday, sending stock down over 4% in after-hours trading.
Advanced Micro Devices has lowered its third-quarter sales forecast, citing weaker-than-expected demand for laptops in North America and Europe.
PC orders are "falling off a cliff," according to a J.P.Morgan analyst who downgraded his revenue estimates for Intel on Tuesday. Another analyst offered a similarly glum assessment.
After years of battle, the Federal Trade Commission plans to report details of an antitrust settlement with Intel on Wednesday.
SEC and Michael Dell Reach Settlement In Accounting and Intel Chip Case
Intel (INTC) reportedly has reached a preliminary settlement with the Federal Trade Commission over allegations involving its sales and marketing practices
Advanced Micro Devices released Q4 earnings numbers Thursday of $1.18 billion, or $1.52 per share, topping expectations. But with much of the gains coming from a $1.25 billion settlement with Intel, and with AMD offering negative guidance for Q1 2010, stock prices dipped in after-market trading.
Advanced Micro Devices posted its first quarterly profit in three years. But the world's No. 2 maker of microprocessors said it would have lost money were it not for the payment it received from Intel to squash a long-running antitrust battle.
On Thursday, chip-maker Advanced Micro Devices will step into the earnings spotlight. Analysts' expectations call for a loss of 15 cents per share, compared a loss of 69 cents per share a year ago. But even if AMD beats expectations, a sell-off may be in the cards.
Intel (INTC), the famous chip maker whose major competitors include Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Qualcomm (QCOM) and Texas Instruments (TXN),...

Blood Pressure Monitoring, Ambulatory
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring: Technology with a Purpose - Editorials
Automated Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring: Clinical Utility in the Family Practice Setting - Article
ABSTRACT: Although the percentage of patients who are treated for hypertension has increased, the percentage of those who demonstrate control of blood pressure has declined. As a result of this trend, clinicians may increasingly rely on ambulatory blood pressure monitoring to improve the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension. Studies confirm that ambulatory blood pressure monitoring devices more accurately reflect a patient's blood pressure and correlate more closely with end-organ complications than blood pressure levels measured in the physician's office. Discriminate use of this technology in specific clinical circumstances assists in identifying patients at risk for hypertension and may result in improved outcomes in this subset of patients. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring may be particularly helpful in clinical situations such as borderline hypertension, white-coat hypertension, apparent drug resistance, hypotensive symptoms from medications or autonomic dysfunction, episodic hypertension, and evaluation of antihypertensive efficacy.
Home Monitoring of Glucose and Blood Pressure - Article
ABSTRACT: Home monitoring of blood glucose and blood pressure levels can provide patients and physicians with valuable information in the management of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Home monitoring allows patients to play an active role in their care and may improve treatment adherence and clinical outcomes. Glucose meters currently on the market produce results within 15 percent of serum blood glucose readings and offer a variety of features. Although the data are somewhat conflicting, home glucose monitoring has been associated with improved glycemic control and reduced long-term complications from diabetes. These effects are more pronounced in patients who take insulin. Home blood pressure values predict target organ damage and cardiovascular outcomes better than values obtained in the office. Home blood pressure measurements are also effective at detecting borderline hypertension and monitoring the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs. Validated arm cuffs are the preferred blood pressure devices for home use. Information from home monitoring should always be used in conjunction with that from regular office visits and other data to make appropriate therapeutic decisions.

Villin custom touring | Raleigh XXIX | Medici Pro Pista | 1978 Schwinn Stingray
some fella rode a highwheeler across america over 100 years ago as a publicity stunt, east coast to san francisco i believe, somewhat endorsed by by colonel Pope's bicycle company. his journal was recently put into print, i found it at the public library.
he didn't accept any money for the ride, so methinks the fella exhibited a classic, early, case of bicyclists 'wanderwheel. one of the early, early mountain bikers
"Evidence, anecdote and methodology all support planning for roadway bike traffic."
Crazy looking bikes. They get to look down on everyone, including cars.
I don't get their charity though. Is it themselves! Why do people list things like this as charity. Sounds like begging for $$ so they can play. Sorry one of my pet peeves. I hate to see kids at the corner begging for money so they can go play in a basketball tournament.
Don't worry, they're not begging! If you check out the "manifesto" link on their web page you'll see where the cash is going to. They're all worthy causes, and all bicycle related. So you can happily donate some money and know that not only are you doing a good deed, but that you are directly facilitating someone else's enjoyment of the humble bicycle. And hey, perhaps your cash will even get someone on a bike who wouldn't have had the resources to buy one themself...Originally Posted by balto charlie
Oh, and while we're on the subject, I would like to bring your attention to yet another cycle related project:
Bicycling Empowerment Network Namibia is a not-for-profit organisation which aims to empower people through the use and sale of recycled bikes...which are shipped from Re-Cycle in England.
Sorry to deviate from the main point of this thread, but I just wanted to point out to those of you with spare coins in your pocket that there are many many worthy causes. Donate to them all!
And oh, I nearly forgot...well done tall bike guys. Keep pedalling!

Demand feeding or every two hours?
At my son's two week ped. appt. the doctor said he was using me since he wanted to eat sometimes every 30-60 mins. and that I should only feed him every two hours and use a pacifier if I need to in between then. I've been doing that for a week now the only problem is he still only eats 10-15 mins on one side (never can get him to eat on both sides) like he was when I was feeding him whenever he showed cues. I thought he would eat longer since Im waiting every two hours. Plus he seems to be more fussy this week, should I go back to feeding on demand? And any suggestions on how to get him to eat on both sides I'm tired of being lopsided and one boob hurting for two hours.

I have fed both of my kids on demand. Yes, at times I felt like all I was doing was feeding, feeding, feeding. At one point I was pumping all I had, breastfeeding, then giving the bottle, then breast feeding again. This reinforced breastfeeding, but gave her a good amount of breast milk from the bottle too. She took a long nap after that too. Now I exclusively breast feed with no bottle or pumping. She is now 6 months. The 1st few months are difficult and tiring but definitely get easier. I was able to keep a good milk supply by feeding on demand. Even if they are using you as a pacifier, to me it just shows that she has comfort in breastfeeding, which is a good thing especially when they are sick.posted 05/13/2010 by AngieP13
Babies at this age need to be fed on demand. Their tummies are quite small so they can only eat so much. Plus, BF is hard work so some children will not "finish" their meal and will be hungry sooner than others. If your LO shows signs of hunger, then why not feed him? After all, don't you eat when you're hungry? I would also get a new ped. Some of them are so clueless. Like the one I saw today for an illness for my DD. He told me straight out that vaccines do not have any side effects!! What?!? Did you ever read the vaccine insert or go to the manufacturers websites, or even the CDC? I will never see him again. Just think of all the parents who's child has a vaccine reaction and he just tells them that it's nothing to worry about and not vaccine related. Dumb doctors!posted 04/15/2010 by larissakissa
At 2 wks I would not be watching the clock. That could sabatoge your supply. For the first 4-6 wks do not watch the clock and just nurse whenever you think he needs to or asks to. That way your baby will tell your breasts how much milk to make. I also just used one breast per feeding, it was easier. But every 2 hrs means that a breast only gets used every 4 hours and that is a surefire way to decrease your supply! Throw out the paci and disregard your dr and nurse him! (unfortuately most drs are not very educated about breastfeeding) You cannot overfeed a baby at the breast, so don't worry about that. My first nursed every 45 mins to an hr for the first 5 months! Nights included! Constant nursing is completely normal for a newborn, it will pass, hang in there! The first month or so can be a bit rough, but usually once you get past that it is smooth sailing! Just let him nurse when he wants to and soon he and your breasts will be in sync! Congrats on your precious baby!posted 04/15/2010 by momsangel03
And absolutely do not pump regulalry that early, you will end up with oversupply. You might also want to visit this board: http://community.babycenter.com/groups/a25215/breastfeeding_support_and_helpposted 04/14/2010 by Girl in the Swing
Get a new pedriatrician, the one you have is clueless about breastfeeding. Newborns need to be fed on demand. At this age 2 hours is the maximum spacing between feeding, not the minimum.posted 04/14/2010 by Girl in the Swing
You can keep doing what you are and pump the second breast, that's why my friend's doc told her to do (while we were visiting her in the hosp w/ her newborn last week). That way you don't hurt, and you aren't a slave to breast feeding every hour or so, that is way too often to be feeding, even a newborn, a lot go even 3 hours without feeding, maybe you can try that too, extend time between and he might eat from both, or do 6-10 min on each breast so he equals them out, but you should be pumping if you are hurting between feedings or right after feedings. It can come in handy when you go out of town or run out of breast milk, or when you wean your baby from the breast. A lot of women feed breast milk from a bottle in public to avoid a hassle of BF'ing for one feeding too. You can leave it on the counter for about 5 hours, in the fridge for 5 days, and deep freeze it in a separate freezer for up to 5 months, and in your regular kitchen freezer for about 3 months. Good luck!posted 04/14/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

Alters a table definition by: adding a column or table constraint; dropping a table constraint or a column; changing the data-type or the default value for a column.
Adding a Column
When a column is added, the existing table is extended with the addition of a new column, which is placed at the end of the table definition.
For each existing row in the table, the column will be assigned the default value (which will be the column default value if one is defined, the domain default if the column belongs to a domain or otherwise the NULL value).
Note: If the column-definition of the column being added includes the NOT NULL column constraint, then the column must either have a non-NULL default value defined or belong to a domain with a non-NULL default value. Otherwise an attempt would be made to insert the NULL value into a column which cannot accept it.
For information on column-definition, please see CREATE TABLE.
Altering a Column
When a column is altered, it is possible to change the data type of the data in it and to set or drop the column default value.
If a new data type is set for the column, it must be assignment-compatible with the values that already exist in the column.
If a column default value is set for the column, it must be assignment-compatible with the values that already exist in the column.
When the column default value is dropped, the column takes its default value from the domain to which the column belongs (if it uses a domain), otherwise the column default becomes the NULL value.
Dropping a Column
When a column is dropped, it is removed from the table. The keywords CASCADE and RESTRICT specify the action to be taken if other objects (such as views, table constraints, indexes, routines and triggers) exist which reference the column being dropped.
If CASCADE is specified, referencing objects will be dropped as well.
If RESTRICT is specified, an error will be raised if referencing objects exist and neither the column nor the referencing objects will be dropped. If neither keyword is specified, RESTRICT behavior is the default.
Adding a Table Constraint
It is possible to add a new table constraint to the table, which is specified in the same way it would be when a new table is created. If the table constraint is explicitly named, it cannot have the same name as a constraint that already exists on the table, see CREATE TABLE for more details.
If the existing data in a table violates the table constraint being added, the ALTER TABLE statement will fail and the new constraint will not be added to the table.
Dropping Table Constraints
It is also possible to drop an existing table constraint in order to remove the constraint from the table. The keywords CASCADE and RESTRICT specify the action to be taken in the case of a referential constraint being dropped.
If CASCADE is specified when a referential constraint is dropped, any other referential constraints which are referencing the unique key being dropped will also be dropped.
If RESTRICT is specified an error will be raised, and nothing will be dropped, if there are other referential constraints referencing the one to be dropped. If neither keyword is specified, RESTRICT behavior is the default.
Language Elements
column-definition, see CREATE TABLE.
table-constraint-definition, see CREATE TABLE.
default-value, see Default Values.
A table can only be altered by the creator of the schema to which the table belongs.
You must have exclusive access to a table to alter it.
A column cannot be dropped if it is the only column in a table (i.e. a drop column operation may not result in a table with no columns).
The ident performing an ALTER TABLE operation must have USAGE privilege on any domain or sequence involved, EXECUTE privilege on any function involved and REFERENCES privilege on all columns specified in references of a referential constraint.
Change of data type for a column is not allowed if the column participates in any type of table constraint (PRIMARY KEY, UNIQUE, REFERENTIAL) or index (INDEX, UNIQUE INDEX).
Change of data type for a column is not allowed if the column is used by a view, procedure, function or trigger.

The Chelonian Science Foundation is devoted to in-situ conservation, restoration and ecological management of the western pond turtle (Emys or Actinemys marmorata) and the habitat in which it lives. We strive to develop collaborative relationships with habitat restoration and watershed management organizations, government and academic agencies, and private land owners working to protect the environment in which all species coexist.
Our goal is maintain and rebuild self-sustaining populations of western pond turtles in their native habitat. We do this by reintroducing rehabilitated western pond turtles back to their native watersheds, on private and preserve lands that are protected from intense urbanization, sever habitat fragmentation, and major human impact.
To ensure the long-term survival of the western pond turtle in its natural habitat and protect the biological diversity of this species. We look to the community for support and contributions to protect the Western Pond Turtle and California's ecosystem.
To successfully stabilize and protect our native turtles we must build collaborative partnerships, educate our community, and accumulate scientific data to support conservation programs.
