At the Alzheimer's Association Michigan Great Lakes Chapter, all of our activities and sponsored events are made possible by the assistance of volunteers. Available volunteer opportunities in each of our four office regions are listed below.
The first step is to download the Volunteer Application and Release Form, complete it, and return it to Melissa Goodson to brainstorm about which volunteer opportunity best matches your time and talents.Dementia Care Support Group Facilitators
The Alzheimer's Association is looking for confident, self motivated individuals to facilitate our Dementia Caregiver Support Groups. These groups are designed to provide emotional, educational, and social support for caregivers through regularly scheduled meetings each month. We are looking to expand our facilitator base to add additional groups throughout our area.
The Alzheimer's Association is looking for people who want to make a difference. The Association hosts local Walk to End Alzheimer's throughout the nation. We need volunteers of all ages with a variety of skills and a passion for the cause! There is a role for everyone, from recruiting and motivating teams, to soliciting sponsors, to marketing and outreach opportunities, to mission integration, and finally planning the day of event logistics. If you have a specific talent, want to learn new skills or just want to help end this devastating disease, please contact our walk team at email@example.com . To learn more about specific Walk volunteer opportunities, view our Walk Committee Positions at a Glance.
Are you a good public speaker? Are you comfortable talking to a group? If so, the Alzheimer's Association is looking for you. Our Volunteer Program Presenters run scheduled community education meetings on different aspects of the disease to increase dementia awareness and knowledge in our local communities. Upon completion of your training, you will be able to effectively use that knowledge and educate your community about Alzheimer's disease.
The Alzheimer's Association's 24/7 Helpline is a free telephone service that offers emotional support to callers and provides information about Alzheimer's, care giving concerns, chapter services, and referrals to community services. As a trained Volunteer Helpline Follow-up Call Specialist, you will be able to use your learned knowledge and experience to provide support and reassurance to those who are impacted by Alzheimer's. *Training, supervision, and in-services provided by the chapter.
The Alzheimer's Association is looking for confident, self motivated people to work in our offices. This volunteer opportunity would include answering multi-line phones, running copies, putting together packets, assisting with mailings, organizing projects, and doing data entry. If you need a more flexible schedule, consider becoming a project based office volunteer - to be on call for projects requiring additional assistance.
Are you looking for a volunteer opportunity that gets you into the world of Public Policy? Alzheimer's public policy advocates receive monthly emails about happenings in congress with links to send an email to your congressman. This is an easy and effective way to remind our legislators about this disease. Those looking to dive deeper into Public Policy can become Alzheimer's Ambassadors, attending meetings with congressional staff, writing letters to the editor of your local newspaper or your local congressman, making phone calls to urge support, and elevating Alzheimer's awareness with our public policy makers.
The Alzheimer's Association is looking for self-motivated individuals with good writing skills who are familiar with social media, specifically Twitter. You will be tweeting at members of congress to create awareness around Alzheimer's. General information about Alzheimer's will be provided, along with sample tweets. This opportunity is one that can be done outside the office. You will be Tweeting 3-4 times a week (approximately 2 hours per week), from your twitter profile and then reporting those tweets sent into our reporting software. Training will be provided by the Association.
1-2 volunteers needed per region
Volunteer will post upcoming chapter events to community calendars in their area. Job can be done remotely or in the office. All materials will be provided by the chapter. Some Google research may be necessary. Ideal candidate will possess good writing skills, as well as basic computer & internet skills. Position will require approximately 2-4 hours a month.
10+ volunteers needed per region
We need volunteers who are willing to be interviewed by the news media on a number of topics and experiences, including, but not limited to, living with Alzheimer's or other dementias, caring for someone with Alzheimer's or other dementias, past experiences and involvement with the Alzheimer's Association as a volunteer or event participant and more. We are looking for anyone who is comfortable speaking on these topics, whether you are currently living with the disease, are currently caring for someone living with the disease, or have cared for someone living with the disease in the past. Candidates will receive training and talking points, and the Chapter Communications Director will act as the liaison between the spokesperson and the interviewer, obtaining permission and providing information about any interview opportunities prior to being contacted by the media. Public speaking or previous interview experience is not necessary, but is a plus.
1-2 volunteers needed, can be any region
Volunteer will work closely with the Chapter Communications Director to create content for Social Media channels, including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google Plus. Volunteer will receive training and social media policies to review, and will have the ability to add content to a queue which will be overseen and moderated by chapter staff. Ideal candidate will possess excellent writing skills, will be comfortable using computers and social media channels mentioned above, and will be self-motivated and comfortable working independently from home. Position will require approximately 1-2 hours per week, which can be completed anytime. All candidates must submit a resume and writing sample, and will undergo an interview process.
Our chapter is excited to host regional Volunteer Recognition Events each April to honor the amazing contribution of all of our dedicated volunteers.

CLAP FOR HIM: Drake New Album 'VIEWS' Set To Move 800,000 Copies In Its First Week
Drake released his latest album VIEWS last Friday April 29th and social media went wild. The album recieved mixed reviews from many, and I was one of them. First listen, I said ummmm we waited this long for regular Drake? However I will say the project is very very good. It diverse and he always does what he is known for, rapping and singing. I am now totally hooked.
With being said I can respect and agree with his projected salls.
Drake's new Views album is set for a spectacular debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Industry forecasters suggest the hip-hop star's latest effort could sell more than 800,000 copies in the U.S. in the week ending May 5. The set was released exclusively for sale through the iTunes Store and to stream via Apple Music on April 29 by Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records.
Further, the album's overall equivalent album unit sum for the week could surpass 900,000. Sources at Republic Records say that Views earned over 630,000 equivalent units in its first day at Apple Music and iTunes combined. via

Edward McGregor
Thanks, Melanie. Welcome to the Sigma Designs conference call to discuss financial results for our fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. I am Ed McGregor, Sigma's Manager of Investor Relations, and with me today are Thinh Tran, our Chairman and CEO; Tom Gay, our CFO; and Ken Lowe, our Vice President of Strategic Marketing.
The press release containing the quarter results including selected income statement and balance sheet information was released after the market closed today. If you did not receive the results, the release is available in the Investors section of our website. Today's agenda will begin with my brief introduction, a review of selected financials by Tom, an executive overview by Thinh, a market update by Ken and comments on guidance by Thinh. We'll then open the call to questions from analysts and institutional investors, and we expect to conclude the call within one hour.
Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that today's call contains forward-looking information, including guidance we provide about our future revenue, gross margin and other financial measures and anticipated trends on our target markets. We caution you that the forward-looking information that we present today is based on our current beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of today's date and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations.
Other risk factors that may affect our business and future results are detailed from time to time in Sigma's SEC reports, including Sigma's quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC on December 7, 2010. A partial list of these important risk factors are set forth at the today's earnings press release. Sigma undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement except as required by law.
In addition, during today's call, we will be reporting certain financial information on a non-GAAP basis such as non-GAAP net income, which excludes certain costs and expenses. These excluded items are described in more detail in today's earnings press release, along with a detailed reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP results.
Before I hand the call over to Tom, who will review our financial results, I would like to let everyone know that Sigma Designs will be holding an Investor Day in New York City on Tuesday, March 15. Investors, analysts and members of the media are welcome to join us that day and meet our management team, experience live product demonstrations and learn more about industry trends and new projects that are underway. A press release providing further details of this event will be forthcoming.
And now we'll hear from Tom.
Thomas Gay
Thank you, Ed. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, revenue was $70.6 million, a decrease of $7.2 million or 9% compared to $77.8 million in the previous quarter. Compared with the year-ago quarter, our revenue increased $2.5 million or 4% from $68.1 million.
Net revenue for fiscal 2011 was $286.9 million, an increase of $80.8 million or 39% from $206.1 million reported for the previous year. Our revenue breakouts for the quarter are as follows: By business segment and percentage of total revenues for the quarter, IPTV media processors came in at $31.3 million or 44% of the total; Connected Home Technologies $24.1 million or 34%; Connected Media Players, $10.6 million or 15% of the total; and Prosumer, $4.5 million or 6%.
By shipped to region, Asia represented $64.7 million or 92% of the total. Europe, $2.1 million or 3%; and North America, $3.3 million or 5%. The high concentration in Asia is caused by the fact that the largest contract manufacturers in the world are located in that region. The end products are distributed worldwide.
During the fourth quarter, we had two customers that each exceeded 10% of our net revenue. Motorola came in at $16 million or 23% of the total, and Gemtek at $15.2 million or 21%. We would like to note that our largest customers are purchasing multiple products and represent a supply chain to more than 10 service providers each.
GAAP gross margins were 49.4% for the fourth quarter, compared to 49.6% in the preceding quarter and 41.1% in the same period last year. Non-GAAP gross margins were 53.3% for the fourth quarter compared to 53.2 in the preceding quarter and 51.7% in the same period last year.
GAAP gross margins were 49.0% for fiscal 2011 compared to 44.5% for the previous year. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $2.5 million or $0.08 per diluted share. This compares to GAAP net income of $5.1 million or $0.16 per share in the previous quarter, and GAAP net loss of $2.8 million or $0.09 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter.

High bp with first pregnancy... Chances it will happen again?
summer(25)+dh(30) married for 5 wonderfull years
mommy to zaid 7/20/2008
I have high bp not being pregnant so I take med for it. I was just going to say I have read that lots of women have high bp and gestational diabetes first pregnancy and dont with the others. My friend had it with her first and not with her second so it is possible that you wont. I would just monitor it and make sure you catch it before it gets out of control if it does go up. Good luck!

My SIL had high bp/pre-eclampsia with her first. With her second her pregnancy her bp was high, but wasn't as high as the first time and she didn't have as much water weight gain, but they still induced her at 38 weeks. From what I understand they were worried her bp would end up spiking at the end of the pregnancy so they induced to be safe.

OP I'm in the same boat as you. I really want to experience spontaneous labor. My OB said that there is an 85% chance that I won't get pre-e this time. My BP is very good when not pregnant.

I am currently pregnant with my third and have had high blood pressure with the first two. Doctor and I both predict it will happen again. I am 25 weeks and often start to show signs of high bp around 27 weeks. My high bp had never turned into pre-e which I am thankful for. With my first the high bp hit around 26 weeks. I did 8 weeks of bedrest and was induced at 36 weeks. The second time around, I used high bp meds starting at 27 weeks and made it a week longer--induced at 37 weeks. My goal for this pregnancy is 37 weeks and I would love to make it a little longer before high bp begins, but I feel like I am already having some swelling, which for me is a huge sign of things to come. I wish you the best of luck and I hope it was a one time thing for you. Just to note, when I am not pregnant I have no issues with high blood pressure.
I'm in the same boat. This is my second pregancy.. with my last, my blood pressure was just fine until I went in for my OB appt. at 36.5 weeks. It was quite high, so they ran labs, and I was ordered directly to the hospital for an emergency induction (pre-e/HELLP syndrome). My dr. said there is about a 20ish% chance of a reoccurance, and I desperately hope to avoid it, but I now own a home monitor and am going to be obsessively taking my blood pressure, I'm sure. I plan on this being my last baby and I would so love to see how labor goes down naturally, without the worried chaos and Pitocin and magnesium sulfate, etc.

Mailport: January 2012
More on the Mackinac
In response to the December 2011 editorial: Chuck Hawley has been a good friend of mine for many years, and nowhere will you find a man with greater integrity. To even suggest that he would whitewash a U.S. Sailing report on the safety of tethers and harnesses sold by West Marine is preposterous. It would be very difficult to find someone more knowledgeable about marine safety and more giving of his knowledge than Chuck. I am also fortunate to count among my friends Randy Repass and Geoff Eisenberg, founder and CEO of West Marine, respectively. Their commitment to safety at sea is equally strong. The last thing they would do if they found a flaw in one of their products is sweep it under the rug and endanger the lives of mariners. Bad things sometimes happen on the water, no matter how good the equipment is. There is always room for improvement in the design of safety equipment, and West Marine has been a leader in that effort for many years.

I'm not sure how I'd never heard of the Anthony and Eddie Edwards, a.k.a. The Edwards Twins--maybe it's because i don't watch the Today Show (and do click that link)--but holy shit are they amazing! They're Bette Midler, Elton John, Billy Joel, Sonny and Cher, Kermit the Frog, and many others. In fact, 150 in total. And they're identical twins, middle-aged ones. It seems there's no impression this Massachusetts-based duo can't do. They could probably show up at my apartment tomorrow morning and do duel impressions of me so well that I would think I was having a nightmare I couldn't wake up from and end up swallowing my tongue like Miggs in Silence of the Lambs.
But that'd be okay, because like a woman who once got on Letterman's Stupid Human Tricks for the same, I can actually swallow my tongue and not choke on it. Which is not much of a talent, but which would allow me to stick around and watch them do their show, impressions of people who actually are talented. Sadly, I haven't seen them at Julia's on Broadway yet. But they'll be doing a regular run, and it certainly looks like it's worth checking out, as the show appears to be, in a word, awesome.In some ways, it sounds like a novelty act--like, "Okay, okay, you do impressions of famous people. We get it." But this is some serious artistry. It's a great cover band's mastery of the music combined with a top-notch impressionist's voice and mannerism mimicry combined with an animated version of Madame Toussad's wax museum. The outfits are to a T. The twins even wear false teeth. I haven't seen an entire show, but it seems like the kind of thing that would build steam as it goes. As in, "They can't possibly do another celebrity well." And then they do it.
The Edwards Twins, Sundays through Wednesdays until September 27 (dinner 6:30, show 8:30), Julia's on Broadway, 300 Broadway E., 860-1818, $20.00 Brown Paper Tickets or at the door.

I need advice on how to go about a problem I have with sorting a DataView in C#.
I need to add a sort property to my DataView because I later need it when I call a Find on the DataView (which needs to have a sort property specified in order to work). I need the Find in order to properly map a DataRow to a DataGridViewRow. I currently just use the row index to map to the DataGridViewRow, but this won't work in all cases if the user physically moves rows, or changes the sort order in the DataGridView (UI) because then the ids no longer match-up/map.
When I create the DataView, I load in a DataTable to pass in for creation. This DataTable can be of any form, I do not know what the DataTable contains for columns and rows. Therefore, I cannot create a sort if I don't know any column names to sort by.
I was thinking of just taking the first column name (column[0]) - no matter what it is and using that to sort. But this seems kinda sketchy, no?
My question is, is there a better way to determine what to sort my DataView by when column names are unknown?

Update on CholponIt was decided to name the shop, in which Cholpon sells, "Milan" - in honor of her youngest daughter. Currently, Cholpon has increased the range of goods and clientele, the store is popular as it is located on the central road of the Belovodskoye village. In order to raise holiday sales in the New Year's Eve, Cholpon has applied to "Bai Tushum and Partners" company for a loan in the amount of 80.000 KGS for reconstruction the store showcase, opening of new showcase of confectionery and replenishment of inventory. Cholpon plans to invest the profits from this loan to the reconstruction of the shop and partial renovation of her house.
Previous Loan DetailsCholpon is an attentive mother of tightly knit family. She has three children, two sons, Daniar and Damir, and the youngest, her most loving daughter, Milana, aged five. Her husband works at the sugar plant but his wage is too low to cover their family's expenses. To find an additional means of... More from Cholpon's previous loan »
Additional Information
About Bai Tushum Bank CJSCBai Tushum Bank CJSC is a microfinance bank in Kyrgyzstan offering clients a range of products including loans for business development, trade, production, leasing, mortgage, consumption and more. Its portfolio is mostly comprised of group loans that cater to the broadest population of clients. Kiva lenders' funds help the bank expand its services in remote areas to impact even more vulnerable communities in Kyrgyzstan.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Pelosi: Obamacare 'a liberation'
**Written by Doug Powers
During the "contradict the title of our show" segment this morning on CNN's Reliable Sources, Nancy Pelosi touted the liberating benefits of Obamacare:
But overwhelmingly for the American people, this [Obamacare] is a liberation . This is life, healthy life, liberty, the freedom to pursue your happiness which could be follow your passion for good rather than follow your policy and be constrained by your policy. It's about wellness. It's about prevention, it's about a healthier America.
A "liberation," not unlike the liberation in 1944 that was marked by Douglas MacArthur returning to the Philippines to… mandate that the Filipinos buy stuff they didn't want.
Video via Eliana Johnson at NRO:
A liberation… from your current health plan.
A liberation from working over 30 hours per week at the same job.
A liberation from your money.
A liberation from timely appointments.
A liberation from the doctor you'd been seeing.
A liberation from your medical privacy.
A liberation from your financial privacy.
What a twisted definition of "liberating." But, that's Nancy Pelosi.
Commence "liberation":

Landscape Futures: Instruments, Devices and Architectural Inventions
Actar, 2013
Paperback, 232 pages, $29.95
This book features the full array of images from the Museum of the City project by CCA Architecture faculty member David Gissen as well as an interview with Gissen and a chapter from his forthcoming book Manhattan Atmospheres.
Landscape Futures is edited by Geoff Manaugh and based on the 2011 exhibition of the same name at the Nevada Museum of Art. It explores the future of landscape studies by way of the technical intermediaries -- the instruments, devices, and architectural inventions -- through which humans have come to understand the built and natural environments.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Next Generation (1994) is an American comedy horror movie who had two previous titles. It was initially released as The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1994) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4 (1994). The movie is loosely a remake of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) but does not excel as the original. Director Kim Henkel (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994), Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013)) failed horribly at making this movie. The movie contains sexual content, brief nudity, bad language, violence, plot holes and little suspense. The film revolves around a group of teenagers who ends up in an accident in the middle of nowhere on their prom night. They encounter a murderous family with the villain we are used to seeing.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Next Generation begins at a prom where we see Heather (Lisa Marie Newmyer - Sin City (2005), A Scanner Darkly (2006), Crosswalk (1999)) looking for her boyfriend Barry (Tyler Cone - A Troll's Bridge (2002), The War at Home (1996), The Pitch (2012)) who is in the dark with another female. Heather storms off into Barry's car with her friends Jenny (Renée Zellweger - Cinderella Man (2005), Chicago (2002), Jerry Maguire (1996)) and Sean (John Harrison - The Substitute Wife (1994), Just Sue Me (2000), Art Machine (2012)) in the backseat. Barry ran after her and eventually gained access to the vehicle only to get into an accident minutes later because of their argument. After a few events, the tow truck driver Vilmer (Matthew McConaughey - Dallas Buyers Club (2013), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), Interstellar (2014), Magic Mike (2012)) arrives and at the accident site drives over Sean after some more events. Heather and Barry discover the Sawyer clan's Farmhouse and not knowing who they are; Barry asked to use their bathroom and was allowed to. Heather waits patiently for Barry on the porch of the house until she is running for her life from Leatherface (Robert Jacks - Scary Movie (1991), Slacker (1991), The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Documentary (1996)). Leatherface finally captures Heather and ultimately stuffs her in the meat locker. As for Barry, he was hit over the head with a sledgehammer by Leatherface and died so he did not get to tell anyone about the human remains he discover in the bathroom.
Get the movie and watch it if you like but you are surely in for an enormous disappointment if you do because it does not live up to the standards of all the other chainsaw movies. The movie should be shredded and taken out from the franchise. This was a total waste of money, time and energy. I have no clue what the director/writer was thinking when they approached this movie, perhaps she was not thinking. The actors did a poor acting job in this film and it may be because of the poor screenplay - the actors overall are fantastic in every other movie.

A deep fat fryer is an appliance that is used for deep frying food. More commonly known as simply a deep fryer, this appliance is used to quickly cook food by immersing them in boiling hot oil. This appliance consists of a well that holds the cooking oil and a basket that is used to lower and raise the food. A standard commercial deep fat fryer also has timers with an alarm, a ventilation system to catch all the odors formed, and oil filters to extend the life of the oil.
Modern Innovations in Deep Fat Fryers
The development of technology has improved deep fat fryers in terms of energy efficiency and temperature control. Modern deep fat fryers incorporate new heat transfer systems to increase their energy efficiency. Some of the high end models even make use of infrared heating or convection heating. These new models also make use of electronic temperature controls. These controls help in minimizing energy usage by constantly adjusting the temperature of the oil to the desired temperature. These controls also help prevent fires by shutting down the heating system once the oil reaches very high temperatures.
Electric Fryers vs. Gas Fryers
A outdoor catering bbq equipment can be powered by electricity or gas. Electric fryers are more popular because of their mobility as well as their characteristic of losing less heat in between frying cycles. On the other hand, gas fryers offer a faster cooking time since they are able to heat the oil at a quicker rate. Gas fryers are also a lot cheaper since gas tanks are generally less expensive than electricity.

Ops open a minor, partner doubles - what is it?

(1m) X - what does this double show?

Posted 2012-February-12, 16:07
1) takeout double
2) too strong to overcall a suit
3) too strong to overcall 1NT
The minimum in each case depends on agreement and style.
Posted 2012-February-12, 17:31
4) Equal Level Conversion (ELC), showing both majors, usually ♥ longer or stronger (or both) than ♠, intending to bid 1 or 2♥ over a simple bid in the other minor from you. With the type 2) double nigel mentions, if ♥ is the suit he'd have to jump in ♥.
Beginners will sometimes double with a balanced minimum opener with length in opener's suit because, well, they have an opening hand. Then when you bid their short suit, they rebid 1NT, forgetting that this shows 19-21 or so.

Posted 2012-February-12, 17:43
This certain threshold depends on the vulnerability. For the following, I will assume our 1NT overcall shows 15-18 HCP and that we don't play ELC in this situation. At w/r, if I had to aim for full disclosure, I would try something like the following:
(a) 8+ HCP, a void in their suit, at least 4 cards in all the other suits
(b) 9+ HCP, singleton in their suit, 4 in each of the others
© 10+ HCP, at least 4 cards in each major, at least 3 in the other minor
(d) 12+ HCP, at least 4-3 in majors, at least 4 in the other minor
(e) 14+ HCP, at least 3 cards in each of the unbid suits, not suitable for 1NT overcall
(f) Any major single-suiter worth the equivalent of 17.5+ HCP
(g) Any hand worth the equivalent of 19+ HCP, except those for which we have another bid (e.g. two-suiter) available
Texture is also an issue so if my HCP are in their suit I'm less likely to double than if my HCP are in the other suits, etc.
-- Bertrand Russell

I've been doubling on 44xx with very minimum values and it's not something I discuss with partners. Obviously I should.

44xx, I think should be fine. With a 5 card major and a 4 card major and some extra tolerance for the minor (unless they are significantly differing in texture, as in 85432, AKQJ, HHx, x) I'd just bid the 5 card major.

BunnyGo, on 2012-February-13, 05:30, said:
Let's not confuse the issue here. My interpretation of jilly's post above is that she has been in the habit of doubling with garbage hands that have 44 majors. (If that's not the case, then ignore what follows.) It's easy to understand the motivation; finding a fit is important in a competitive auction. But it's also wrong. Jilly's example hand (ATxxx QTxx xx xx) may or may not rise to the level of a 1S overcall for your partnership; it's close enough that I would expect reasonable people to be on both sides of the argument. But it in no way resembles a double. If you have discussed with your partner the possibility of doubling with this hand (or with a 44xx equivalent), you may be in violation of the ACBL's prohibition on systemic psyches; if a psyche is a "gross misstatement of a player's honor strength or distribution", then I think this fits the bill. But even if you don't run afoul of "the Man" you face the erosion of partnership trust. How is partner supposed to make intelligent decisions after a double like this? If she holds moderate values, she may jump to an unplayable level. Or she may double the opponents in a partscore hand expecting you to have some defensive strength. Even if she is an understanding sort and doesn't get upset, she is almost certain to start making allowances for the possibility of subminimum doubles, and you are again on shaky legal ground. Minimum doubles by an unpassed hand, even at favorable, should be something like ATxx KJxx QTxx x in my view; obviously where you draw the line is a matter of partnership discussion. But the further you get away from "ideal" shape, the more honor strength you should have; and a hand like ATxx QTxx xxxx x isn't even close despite perfect shape.

If I have 5-4 majors, I tend to bid 2m Michael cue bid.

15+ (maybe a good 14) balanced or semi balanced. More seriously it's takeout, but I wouldn't be optimistic that partner has 4 cards in both majors. I'd expect a pickup partner to be light opening strength ish atleast, and with my regular partners we'll make a takeout bid with an 8 count.

No, nothing as light as this. It will be very difficult for your partner to field such a wide range if the opponents compete. For example, (1♦)-X-(3♦). What should partner do with a 12-count and a 4-card major? Or worse, a 12-count and a nice 5-card club suit?

Small School District Leverages Online Learning To Build A Wealth Of Individualized Education Opportunities For K-12 Students In Oregon
HERNDON, Va., March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For one school district in Oregon, online learning is quickly becoming an essential way to provide more of its students with greater flexibility and options for achieving their academic goals. This past fall, Lebanon Community Schools launched the Oregon iSchool, a full-time online school for K-12 students. In addition, the district implemented online learning in its local schools for enrichment, special education, alternative education, and advanced studies. In the six months since launch, more than 450 students have enrolled in online courses. Located in rural East Linn County, the district has recently faced high unemployment, homelessness, and other related issues that can make going to school a challenge for many students. To help provide their students as many educational options as possible, administrators at Lebanon Community Schools decided to implement an online learning program that would allow for scheduling and pacing flexibility."We want to meet all of our students' needs, whether they are preparing for college or a career, and help them go further than they ever thought possible," said Rob Hess, Superintendent of Lebanon Community Schools. "With online learning, our district can enable students to become 21 st century learners by providing them the rigorous curriculum, tools, and support they need to succeed." Lebanon Community Schools partners with K12 Inc., the nation's leading provider of technology-powered individualized education solutions for students in pre-kindergarten through high school. For its full-time online program, Oregon iSchool uses the K 12® curriculum for students in grades K-5, and Aventa Learning ® by K 12 for students in grades 6-12. The district also uses the Aventa curriculum in its local schools for enrichment. For example, middle school students receive additional math preparation and are able to take advanced courses, such as algebra and language arts. The district also uses the A+nyWhere Learning System ® (A+LS) by K 12 to customize courses. For a special education class at a local middle school, Lebanon teachers use A+LS to develop targeted lessons designed to address individual skill or learning gaps. The programs use K 12 teachers who are certified in Oregon and are experienced in delivering online instruction. In addition, district teachers provide in-person support for students and their families. Kim Fandino, Online Program Coordinator for Lebanon Community Schools, says, "We know well that when it comes to students, one size does not fit all. With online learning, we have all of the resources we need to help each student progress in his or her own way." For one family, Oregon iSchool has been an excellent solution for its three children in grades 7 and 8. The mother says, "Using the online school has been a tremendous blessing to our family. We have been homeschooling for a number of years, but we were looking for a rigorous curriculum and, at the same time, we wanted to give our children the opportunity to interact with other students and teachers. We are able to be involved on a daily basis and check in with the kids to see how they are doing. The teachers and mentors provide great support to the students and parents. The students can work at their own pace. They can work ahead, or they can have extra time if a particular lesson is challenging. Once we learned how to navigate the system and the technology of the courses, we hit the ground running. Our children have been learning a tremendous amount this year and have been getting great grades doing it." Students participating in the online programs can also take advantage of other flexible academic and extracurricular options. They may take courses taught in local schools in the traditional classroom setting, for subjects such as culinary, vocational, or fine arts. They may also participate in local school athletics. In addition, students may participate in an extended 5-year high school program to simultaneously receive a diploma and an associate degree upon completion.

The Hollars Movie
Jackson, MS
Once again, Jackson, MS has been chosen as another set location for an upcoming film. Jackson native Tate Taylor, director of the film "The Help" and latest "Get On Up," truely sees stardom in his hometown city. Actor and director of "The Hollars" film, John Krasinski, must share a similar vision in the city of Jacksons' screen potential.
"The Hollars" producer Tom Rice described the comedic film as," blending the emotion of Steel Magnolia's with the youth-oriented relevance of Garden State." John Krasinski will star as the main character, a New York artist who has to return home when his mother requires brain surgery. Pitch Perfect actresss, Anna Kendrick, will play Krasinski's girlfriend as he reconnects with old and quirky family and friends. "This is one of the best scripts I've read, period," Krasinski says in a statement reported by Screen International. "James has written one of the most tough-minded, sweet, funny and accurate stories about family I've seen. I am lucky to have a script like this to direct… and to have this cast is simply surreal."
The film is set to begin shooting very soon. "The Hollars" can join the list of set located Jackson, MS movies such as: "O, Brother Where Art Thou, My Dog Skip, A Time to Kill, The Help, and Get on Up." The Belhaven district and city of Fondren are thrilled that their small town is to represent another upcoming film. Jacksonian's are looking forward to "The Hollars" debut.

"Sharjah: A Hop, Skip and a Drive Away from Dubai" Sharjah by rachelleiris
Sharjah Travel Guide: 192 reviews and 707 photos
Only a hop, skip and a drive away from Dubai (okay okay, 30 minutes by car or bus and $1.75 away, to be exact)… Sharjah makes a perfect weekend get-away.
Before you know it, you're up in the air for a slow, vertigo-inducing but marvelous Eye of the Emirates ride in Qanat Al Qasba for only $7..
Or at the clean man-made canal -- enjoying a nice romantic boat ride...
Or at a resto set against the wonderfully-lit canal -- enjoying an al fresco dinner (only if it's not the summer season!)
Or at the Central Souk -- shopping and haggling till you drop! It is in this Central Souk where you can find authentic Persian carpets, colorful Moroccan lamps, authentic or maybe sometimes fake jewels and traditional costumes from all over the land, and some antique finds from Iran, China, Turkey, India and Pakistan.
(Note: The key here is to play-hard-to-get to the point of walking away slowly from the shop…. And wait… wait for a couple of seconds… until the salesperson comes practically running behind you to ask how much you want to buy this item or that. And of course, with just a bit of acting… you win! You get the item that you like so much at the lowest "bestest" price ever!)
Anyway, going back… (Bargain shopping always makes me digress!) Aside from restaurant, mall, souk and museum-hopping, there's really not much to see in Sharjah. Or maybe we haven't really explored it just yet. But just the same, we had a helluva grand time in this Emirate which is probably ten times quieter and cleaner than Dubai! We shall definitely come back to Sharjah for more! =)
- Pros:quiet, clean and laid-back
- Cons:stricter policies and possible dangers at some dimly-lit areas

Hello -- I'm a newbie to the forum, though I've enjoyed browsing through all the posts. My question is that I found, in the garbage of a neighbor, an old bike. (I asked and she let make me take it -- no dumpster diving here). The frame is labeled Univega Maxima Sport, chromoly, and made in Taiwan. It's red. The bike has wheels with semi-knobbly tires that looked about 35 mm wide, maybe 40 mm, that were totally flat. It's got a high handlebar and looks like it was a hybrid bike. The front derailleur and the back gears look through they are rusted. The brakes look shot.
I was thinking this could be a good project bike. I already have a hybrid that I use for fun riding and occasional commuting. I was toying with making it a fixie or singlespeed (I have no experience with those at all, but it seems like they could be fun), just fixing it up with new components, or maybe even making it into an Xtracycle. I've also been trying to get my wife into cycling, so making it as comfortable as possible for a non-cyclist is also an option. Finally, I could also just try to sell it.
I just thought I would throw this out to the crowd -- any suggestions as to what I should do? Many thanks in advance.

Has anyone used a Green Light Trigger (http://www.greenlightstuff.com/trigger.html)? Last year I found my aluminum-frame bike didn't trigger traffic detector loops as reliably as my old steel frame, and I am wondering if that device would help, of if there are other tricks to use.
Let me add that the "prime spot" on loop detectors is marked by three orange dots here, so its not a question of position.

What turns you off about the idea? The baby actually putting its mouth on your breast?
Nipple shields are usually for people who have trouble nursing - small or inverted nipples, babies with high palettes, etc. It is actually easier for the baby to suck straight from your own nipple if neither of you have any anatomical issues that would prevent a good latch.
Me + DH (Apr '00) = DD (Feb '07) & DD (Jan. '12)
~Jeni (28), DH (28), DD - Madelyn (3), DSs Braden & Dalton
IVF#1 - 2/08 - BFN. IVF#2 - 6/08 - DD born 2/24/09.
IVF#3 - Twin DSs born 12/30/11.
Not sure I'm following your logic. You just don't want the baby touching your skin?
The nipple shields are used for as short a period of time as possible to overcome issues like pp have described. I had to use one for cracked nipples. It is harder for the baby to latch, so they don't get as much milk. Much better to not have the barrier between you and baby unless absolutely needed for medical reasons.
Our beloved Annie arrived in our lives 3/2010
Our darling Luke joined us on 12/2011
Julie + DH + Kiddos = My dream come true!
I believe they are made specifically for latching problems.
Does you hospital offer a breastfeeding class? Or is there a lactaion consultant at the hospital you can schedule an appointment with? I think that it would be very easy for you to overcome your breastfeeding issues if you talked with a professional about it. If you are worried that you'll be sexually stimulated by the baby breastfeeding, I can honestly say I've never heard of that happening to any mom. GL!
I used one with my DD and it made a huge difference for us (we were having latching issues). I have purchased one to use with this LO too. ;0)

The Puritans had it right. When some scandalous young lassie shacked up with a man out of wedlock, they slapped a scarlet letter on her chest, so everyone could point, snicker, and otherwise feel better about themselves. State Rep. Norma Smith wants to recreate that festive atmosphere of shame by giving people convicted of DUI their very own license plates.
Smith tells KING 5 News:
"It provides a tool for law enforcement . . . just to be aware that the car is registered to someone with a DUI conviction and to provide a little extra scrutiny."
That's strictly a tool for law enforcement, mind you--because the normal methods of seeing if people break the law while driving and giving roadside sobriety tests (policing) somehow aren't tools enough.
Smith skirts around the public-shaming issue by saying of the plates that "There is no special coloring, there is nothing to draw attention to it." But Washingtonians are quite literate, if you haven't heard, and the ability to notice license plates festooned with the extra Z would be a simple task that at the very least would turn into several fun new games to play on long road trips.
Not to say that public shaming isn't a powerful social tool--it is. Let's just call a spade a spade, Ms. Smith.
In fact, why stop at license plates?
Why not bring back the dunce cap--or better yet, the pillory box--and get right down to business?
Ye Olde Drunk Driver.

Immune Pharmaceuticals established a broad collaboration with the Weizmann Institute of Science's technology transfer company Yeda, focused on developing antibody therapeutics targeting Her3, an epidermal growth factor family target that is overexpressed in some patients with gastric, head and neck, ovarian, and breast cancer. Through the new collaboration Immune will develop and evaluate a number of anti-Her3 antibody formats including humanized monoclonal antibodies, dual epitope-targeting bispecific antibodies, and antibody nanoparticle conjugates (Nanomabs).
Israel-based Immune Pharmaceuticals is developing monoclonal antibodies against inflammatory diseases and cancer. The firm's lead anti-inflammatory candidate, bertilimumab, is a fully human monoclonal antibody that neutralizes human eotaxin-1, a chemokine that attracts inflammatory cells, eosinophils, and regulates inflammation. Immune Pharmaceuticals is planning to start a Phase II clinical trial in patients with moderate to severely active ulcerative colitis in 2012. Bertilimumab was originally developed by CAT (now part of AstraZeneca's MedImmune), and licensed to iCo Therapeutics. Immune exercised its option to develop bertilimumab for non-ophthalmic indications in June 2011.
Immune's in-house discovery platform is designed to improve the efficacy of monoclonal antibodies. The firm's Nanomab technology is a next-generation antibody-drug conjugation platform that links monoclonal antibodies with drug-loaded nanoparticles. The technology was licensed from Yissum, the technology transfer arm of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
In January Immune received two grants from the Israeli Office of the Chief Scientist. $605,000 was awarded to support development of the Nanomab platform, and another $395,000 to support Phase II clinical development of bertilimumab.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

Input sought on recreation master planPublished 10:34pm Saturday, August 17, 2013
Want a say in the future of Washington's parks and recreation programs?
If so, plan on attending public meetings concerning development of the city's comprehensive parks and recreation master plan. The first meeting runs from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Grace Martin Harwell Senior Center (nest to the Civic Center). A second meeting runs the same day and same location from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
During the meetings, topics for discussion include project overview, goals and objectives, recreational needs and concerns and identifying potential recreational programs and facilities. Attendees will be asked to fill out survey questionnaires.
Earlier this year, the City Council authorized the Parks and Recreation Department to apply for a $50,000 grant, which would be used to update the city's recreation master plan.
The funding would come from the Community Transformation Grant Project.
The recreation master plan was adopted in 2008. A memorandum from Kristi H. Roberson, the city's parks and recreation manager, to the council and mayor notes that such plans should be updated every four to five years. Roberson has said the updated master plan is needed because of increasing demands on city parks and recreational facilities. Earlier this year, the council learned that participation in sports such as baseball, softball, basketball and soccer is increasing at such a pace that more and more demands are being placed on the city's sports venues.
In January, the council made it clear it will address some concerns about recreational facilities with a three-pronged approach — immediate, short-term and long term.
That approach is being taken to address an expected increase in demands on those facilities by increased participation and hosting more tournaments. City officials expect the use of baseball/softball fields, soccer fields and basketball courts to increase in the next 12 months to the point where the facilities and city staff are taxed when it comes to meeting that demand.

Apocalypse Tourism
It's 2012, and Belize is trying to lure visitors to the Mayan end of the world.
We're all familiar with various brands of shoes and shampoo. But what about the brands of sovereign states? In the fierce competition for tourist dollars, nations are brand names, too. They have public images that change over time and can be shaped by marketing. They can turn suddenly trendy, or hopelessly uncool, in the minds of travelers daydreaming about future vacation spots.
A little while back, I accepted an invitation from the Belize Tourism Board to take an all-expenses-paid tour of that country. This is what we in the media term "a junket." The BTB hoped that by bringing me down there, and showing me a decent time, they could nudge me into writing a travel story for American readers—a story reporting that Belize is a gorgeous, climatically temperate place populated by friendly, law-abiding people.
I'm not going to write that story. (Even though I loved the country. The fact is, you'd be rightly skeptical of any positive assessment given that I accepted free airfare and accommodation from the Belizean government.) More interesting to me—and the reason, in addition to wanting a cheap escape from New York's winter weather, that I agreed to go on the junket—was the business story lurking beneath the travel story. I wondered how, other than by brainwashing foreign writers, Belize goes about marketing itself to potential visitors as a better choice than, say, Mexico, or Peru, or Namibia.
At a dinner on Ambergris Caye—full of Belizean dignitaries, travel industry types, and a team from an American advertising agency that was hoping to win the BTB account—I met Yanick Dalhouse, the Belize Tourism Board's director of marketing. She explained that the initial challenge for Belize is simply awareness. "In surveys, people are hazy," she says. "They only vaguely know where we are. If they're familiar with us, it's as a scuba diver's haven."
Awareness levels ticked up in January when the reality series The Bachelor used Belize as a setting. Dalhouse says Web visits to the BTB's online portal doubled the night that episode aired. But it's an ongoing struggle to put the country on travelers' radars. In large part, this is a consequence of the BTB's limited budget: It spent just $6 million on marketing last year—even though tourism, at 28 percent of GDP, is a crucial segment of the Belizean economy. (When I spoke with a marketing expert who is familiar with various tourism board campaigns, he told me that the Dominican Republic, by comparison, spends about $70 million annually.)
Since Belize can't afford to saturate the market with its message, it has instead tried to attract particular types of tourist. According to Dalhouse, the key target for Belize is 35- to 64-year-old travelers who have previously visited Mexico or the Caribbean and are "ready for something more adventurous than an all-inclusive resort. People who want a more emotional and authentic experience, without throngs of other tourists."
Who's the competition? Costa Rica is the big dog when it comes to Central American leisure travel. Like Belize, it has spectacular outdoor attractions, great weather, and ocean coastline (in its case, both Pacific and Caribbean coastline). Costa Rica has long owned the "green," eco-friendly niche among yuppie American travelers. But the BTB hopes that when these folks get bored of one spot, and look around for novel ports of call, they'll notice Belize's unspoiled forests, rivers, and beaches.
