Companies like Wal-Mart, grocery stores, and other large retailers are a threat to some of the smaller toiletry businesses. They buy large amounts of product for a minimal price – and usually poor quality – and then sell it at for a very inexpensive price.
Teenagers have become a new target for color cosmetic companies and products are being launched specifically for preteens. People are also interested in products that have natural ingredients in them. The push for products that are not tested on animals is also on many consumer's minds.
The cost to effectively market multifunctional products employing new ingredients combined with the need to generate a greater return on investment has led personal hygiene companies to consolidate their range of brands – eliminating smaller or slow-selling lines – and focusing on their biggest names. This migration has prompted manufacturers not normally involved in these product categories to develop brand extensions into the area. This "mega brand" strategy depends on conveying a similar image to existing products under the same brand name. Customer loyalty to products is diminishing, however, and the company providing a product must be equally worried about the quality they are offering to the public. (Koser, 2001).
It is difficult to believe that cosmetics will fail to thrive, in Asia or anywhere else. Three years ago, Asia Info Services published a report noting that even Chinese herbal medicine cosmetics were gaining market share, however small at that point, because of their all-natural character, which appeals to buyers globally (Green cosmetics, 2001).
Two years ago, China displayed a booming cosmetics market, as evidenced by visitors to Cosmoprof Asia, a trade show held at the Hong Kong Convention Center in November, 2002. A report in a trade journal – Soap, Perfumery & Cosmetics Asia – noted that cosmetics "clearly act as an effective tool for creating business ties between Asia and the rest of the world (2003)," thereby making an investment in a Body Shop or similar company a perfect one for the coming decade.
Manufacturers would arguably not have been interested in exhibiting if they had been unsure that the market for cosmetics in Asia will expand in the coming years. The Cosmoprof show hosted a total…[continue]

I was recently working on an article for a major publication, and during the middle of my research, I was told that I wouldn't be getting any interviews with those involved with the film. Expecting my editor to trash the proposed story, I figured that my research was done for naught. But the editor got back to me, saying essentially, "Let's not let the studio dictate what we can and cannot do." It was a refreshing response, reminding me of what journalism is all about, and how often "entertainment journalism" falls woefully short.
Then I was faced with the daunting task of tracking down Hollywood insiders without the aid of handlers and reps to lead the way. Surprisingly, after some quick internet research, I got the phone number of a major director from the 1970s American New Wave (think "Bonnie & Clyde"). Thinking it was an office, I called, but got the living legend on the phone, who ended up talking with me candidly for about five minutes. I found the film's screenwriters the same way, emailed them, and was conducting an interview in a matter of hours.
I write this down here for two reasons: 1.) I think it's interesting how accessible some people in the industry can be and 2.) I'm teaching a course at New York University called "Film and Media Journalism." The class is under-enrolled at the moment, so if you're interested, please check it out to hear more stories from the front.

Hamilton, ON - Urban beach closures due to coliform outbreaks have become disturbing signs of summer, yet water-testing technology has never been fast enough to keep up with changing conditions, nor accessible enough to check all waters.
Sentinel Bioactive Paper Network funded researchers at McMaster University have developed a rapid testing method using a simple paper strip that can detect E coli in recreational water within minutes. The new tool can close the gap between outbreak and detection, improving public safety globally.
The scientists have created and validated the viability of the test strip, which can detect potentially harmful concentrations of E coli in water quickly and simply, with much greater accuracy than existing portable technology.
The work is described in a paper published online in the journal Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry.
"Coliforms are always a big problem," says the paper's lead author John Brennan, a McMaster chemistry professor who holds the Canada Research Chair in Bioanalytical Chemistry. "The methods used to detect outbreaks are slow, and tend not to be portable, as they often need a lab-based amplification step prior to testing, causing a time lag between an outbreak and a beach closure."
The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) funds Sentinel Bioactive Paper, a strategic research network that spans Canada and is based at McMaster University. Several dozen researchers are involved in its initiatives to detect, repel and deactivate air, water, or food-borne pathogens to improve human health and safety.
"This is one of Sentinel's most promising technology platforms and I anticipate significant field studies in the next year," said Dr Robert Pelton, Sentinel's Scientific director and director of McMaster University Centre for Pulp and Paper Research.
Bioactive paper is both old and new, Dr Brennan explains. Since the late 1950s, physicians have been using bioactive paper to test for glucose in urine In the last several years, the area has expanded quickly and research has become very competitive as scientists work on new applications.
"It's always a race," he says.
The new strips are coated with chemicals that react to the bacteria, and are printed using inkjet technology similar to that found in standard desktop printers. Within 30 minutes of sampling, the paper changes colour to indicate the presence of E coli, with colours coded to represent different forms and concentrations of the bacteria.
In the future, the test should make it possible for consumers to check their water affordably and easily, without additional equipment, scientific knowledge or long waits.
"One of the problems right now is that there is no simple, fast and cheap way to test recreational water, and certainly nothing out there in the realm of rapid tests for drinking water," says Dr Brennan.
Field testing of the prototype strips is planned or under way in Canada and across the globe, in regions where untreated water poses particular health hazards. The results of these studies will help to refine the test strips and may lead to strips that are sensitive enough to tell whether water is safe enough to drink, says Dr Brennan.
The next stage of pre-commercial development of the test strips is already funded by NSERC through a Phase I Idea to Innovation grant. Commercialization of a final product could take as little as two to three years.
This is great news - hope to see it on the consumer market soon. A convenient & wanted product for lakeside residents.

Regional Briefs 9/28/2013
Airport receives $575,000 grant
PITTSTON TWP. - The Federal Aviation Administration on Friday awarded the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport a $575,000 grant meant to expand the airport's service and lower costs.
The additional funds could help attract flights to and from Florida, Pittsburgh or Washington, D.C., according to a news release from Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Casey's office.
Shotguns stolen in Pike County
PORTER TWP. - State police are investigating after a Saylorsburg man reported three shotguns stolen from his cabin.
Kenneth Sandt, 52, said a Remington 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun, a Remington 16-gauge semi-automatic sportsman shotgun, and a New Haven 20-gauge pump shotgun were removed from his cabin.
State police ask anyone with information to call them at their Blooming Grove station at 570-226-5718.
Repairs to levee slated for weekend
WILKES-BARRE - One of the final repairs to the flood-damaged Wyoming Valley levee is happening this weekend, as contractors will test-install a removable wall to fill the gap in the levee at the Market Street and North Street bridges.
Chris Belleman, the new executive director of the county's flood protection authority, said the Army Corps of Engineers-designed system is a series of posts and panels designed to hold back floodwaters over and next to the bridge. Contractors are checking the water-tight seal on the removable walls and will be finished Sunday. In a flood situation, the walls would barricade the bridges, but traffic will remain open this weekend.
The remaining fixes to the levee system, damaged by the massive swelling of the Susquehanna River in 2011, include the replacement of two sluice gates in South Wilkes-Barre and the refurbishing of pumps in two creek stations.
The levee system should be completely repaired by the end of the year, Mr. Belleman said.

A small fraction of my reads are very short as shown on the attached figure. I'm assuming that this will have some negative impact on variant calling. I've removed reads that are too short after adaptor clipping, and thought this would be enough. However, there are clearly some that have slipped through.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this. I either have to add another read filtering step, or just leave it as it is in the knowledge that there aren't actually that many very short reads.
PS Note added in proof. From adding tags, I've just noticed that there's a read length filter tool - I guess I should use this.

Off-Campus Dining:
There's nothing special or interesting but it gets the job done.
Health & Safety:
Security takes their job seriously.
Health & Safety:
I feel very safe on campus. I have never felt at risk or in danger. My health is not in question and ORU looks out for their students fantastically.
Campus Housing:
Campus life is great and students make the atmosphere lively. The cost is a bit much, but students still pay it, so clearly it is not a big issue. Students love living on campus.
ORU's athletic teams are not incredible by any means, but all teams are solid programs and represent the university greatly. Students love the athletes and school spirit is strong.
Overall Experience:
I love my school and would not change any of my past decisions concerning schooling. I would choose my school again, because I appreciate the mixture of Christianity and academics found in my classes. It is the greatest blessing.
Off-Campus Housing:
There are plenty of apartments in the surrounding area and houses that students can easily rent. I live at home, so I cannot speak to the cost, but Tulsa is low-cost living so I imagine it is not too bad.
The strictness stems from the Honor Code signed by all students at the beginning of the year. It is strongly advised to live a respectful, Christian life. Because of this, rules are enforced strongly.
ORU is a charismatic university, so most are Christians. It stands to reason that the majority are conservative, Republican Christians. Also, I would guess almost all students are straight concerning sexual orientation. There are hundreds of international students as ORU is a very global university. It is a very diverse student body.
I am a theology major and I consider it a great honor. My professors have a deep knowledge of the Bible and a personal relationship with God. They care deeply for both the academic and spiritual aspects of a students' life. The classes offered and workload assigned create a great environment.
The professors are all extremely committed to the well being of the students and their curriculums line up great with what they are teaching. The workload is for the most part fair and adequate as it pertains to each major. Resources are plentiful for studying. The academics are a strong suit of ORU.
ORU offers a very diverse amount of majors. All are solid programs. I have had an internship with a church and it lines up with my major perfectly.
With the exception of two seasons, the weather presents no conflicts. The major problem areas are the winter and spring. Winter brings sometimes severe ice and snow storms, which Tulsa does not do the best job of handling. This affects driving and other everyday activities. Tornado season arrives in the spring and Tulsa is right in the middle of Tornado alley. These can be very dangerous and precaution is vital. It is only for a period of about a month and a half, but students must be constantly aware of the weather patterns.
Parking spots do fill up very quickly, so one has to get there fairly early if a good parking spot is desired. The distance from classes is not unreasonable compared to other colleges.
Overall Experience:
I love the school, everyone is welcoming and ambitious. The teaching is thorough and interesting. I love going here.
Everyone was very helpful, and the scholarships I did receive were pretty fair, but tuition is rather high and I come from a low-income family, so I am taking on all of my debt myself.
We do quite well. Our team spirit is really great though.
Health & Safety:
Generally, I feel very safe on campus, I am comfortable walking alone and don't feel that I have much to fear.
Well, considering it's a Christian college, and smack-bang in the middle of the bible belt, it's pretty darn strict and conservative. But through all of that, it is loving and accepting. The faculty strives for your success. If strict is what you're looking for, this is a good place to get it.
Everything is pretty average. Long distance transportation could use some work.
You don't really need a car, it's a small town. Look into a bike.
I am a Studio Arts major. My life is pleasantly busy and filled with creative new tasks. The workload is not over-filled with busy-work, but applicable towards my major. The curriculum is interesting and engaging. The faculties are well-stocked.
It's humid (which I like) and nippy around winter. But the snow is nice.
I haven't had an internship yet, but the opportunities have come up. I had a few qualms, but nothing other students didn't calm for me.
It's a good solid major. Well-rounded and vigorous. Just the right amount of thorough hard work and creative care. I plan on working with graphic novels later and everyone has be so encouraging about it. I am a little worried, but I stand firm in the belief that my University's name with get me into the field I desire.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Nearly everyone at ORU said that if they had to make their college decision all over again, they would still choose this university. Students give high marks to the strong Christian community here, and say that the professors and students are approachable, kind, and helpful. Another positive is the size of the school—it's easy enough to get personal attention from the teachers, but the school is still large enough that you'll regularly be able to meet lots of new, unique people.
Overall, Oral Roberts University is a great place for anyone who has a strong desire to become spiritually awake, intellectually alert, physically disciplined, professionally competent, and socially adept!

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Workers are still attempting to plug a natural gas leak in Orange County that reportedly resulted from a drilling operation at an oil well on Gulf Road near FM 408 in the Orangefield area of Orange County on Wednesday, June 25.
The Texas Education Agency has set the date and time for the Beaumont ISD record review, according to DeEtta Culbertson of the TEA Division of Communications.
In Plato's Laws, the philosopher surmises, "There is no harm in repeating a good thing." But clearly, that does not apply to criminal activity, a bad thing for both society and the lawbreakers themselves who, by law, face stricter penalties with every recurring infraction. Yet some Orange residents can't seem to stop repeating their mistakes in spite of those potentially heightened consequences.
The Beaumont City Council held a public hearing and approved a resolution meant to benefit the Beaumont Municipal Transit (BMT) System at its meeting Tuesday, June 24. In addition, they heard residents speak out about poor street conditions throughout the city, a concern Mayor Becky Ames was quick to address.
As the issue of how to respond to a recent "surge" of undocumented immigrant children from Mexico and Central America continues to be an issue of hot debate between Congress and White House officials, thousands of immigrants continue to arrive in Texas from Mexico and Central America, in particular the countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, fleeing violence and chasing amnesty.
While the Beaumont Independent School District is culling its teaching force to solve the school district's budget woes, the legal fees budget shows no sign of diminishing.
Orange County residents displaced due to a natural gas leak at a well site at the end of Gulf Road off FM 408 in the Orangefield area are still waiting to get back into their homes while crews work to make the area safe for their return.
June 26 was the third and final day of the Special Education hearing concerning compensation for the alleged abuse and mistreatment of 6-year-old Pietzsch-MacArthur Elementary special needs student Triniti Thibodeaux.
The Press Club of Southeast Texas presented the 2013 Excellence in Media Awards and announced the Newsmaker of the Year at its 23rd annual banquet Friday, June 6, at the MCM Eleganté Hotel in Beaumont.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

S&P Downgrades Italy From BBB+ From BBB; Full "Puffery" Statement
Just more meangingless drivel form a clueless, paid for rating agency (which recently disclosed it would plead "puffery" in its defense against the US lawsuit) now that the ECB is intent on actually lowering the EURUSD, because unlike last year, there is no (immediate) fear of redenomination risk as a result of a sliding EURUSD. Thank you Japanese carry trade.
As a reminder, "S&P said in its request to dismiss the case that the government can't base its fraud claims on S&P's assertions that its ratings were independent, objective and free of conflicts of interest because U.S. courts have found that such vague and generalized statements are the kind of "puffery" that a reasonable investor wouldn't rely on."
So, if anyone cares what today's puffery is all about, here is the full statement.

Because of the decline of Bunga Bunga parties we see a disappointing decline in activity to repay debt. These parties accounted for nearly 30% of the country's GDP.
It's puffery because the country stil carries an investment grade rating.
You mean S&P is still in business?
Moody's downgraded Hong Kong the day after it allowed Snowden to leave. Moody's downgraded Russia's 3 top lenders yesterday. The rating agencies are instruments of US foreign policy. What did Italy do to displease its masters?
Moody's cut by a notch the ratings of Russia's state lending giants – Sberbank and VTB – with Russian Agricultural Bank seeing a two notch downgrade. The agency said the Russian government was less prepared to back the lenders than it was in 2007 - 08.
Moody's rating service downgraded the long-term senior debt and deposit ratings of Russia's key state lender Sberbank (to Baa1 from A3), Bank VTB and VTB24 (to Baa2 from Baa1) and Russian Agricultural Bank (to Baa3 from Baa1). The outlook for these ratings is stable.
Yes because we all believe and follow a ratings firm on Wall Streets take that rated MBS toxic crap as AAA......you should post Egan-Jones ratings side by side Tyler, which I am actually curious to know what it currently is for Italy.
Didn´t Egan Jones get prohibited from issuing any for like 18months after they had the audacity to downgrade the US?
It is refreshing to see that the SEC has taken a much needed break from its daily escapades into midgetporn.xxx and is focusing on what is truly important, such as barring outspoken rating agency Egan-Jones from rating the US and other governments.
I guess this means that the European periphery debt and indexes are set to rally tomorrow. Why not.... it's not like economic fundementals matter anymore.
BBB for 'buy buy buy'?
your honor, clearly we have very little credibility, and, frankly, anyone who would listen to us is an idiot.
They could have said that we are lying, thieving bastards who are always up for sale to the highest bidder but they are allergic to the truth.
OT but enlightening from former FEDHEAD
"The word 'money' is never said in our office [and] probably not by the staff at the Fed," he added. "Money doesn't appear in any modern macro model. We have got to get over that, OK? We're beyond that now."
"real growth averaging minus 0.04%."
That looks puffery at its best, whatever that means
What difference does it make ?
Lower Euro benefits Germany, Merkel takes credit for increased GDP. Bernanke prints to keep S+P rising... where is the problem. This is great policy by the desperate Keynesians.
Bernanke is a genius.... it is us peons that just don't get it.
So front run the ECB and buy Italian bonds...got it.
Seems you have a direct line to frankfurtsupermario...NSA'd by angela .....
Why don't they downgrade the USSA? Oh wait ... they are on Washington's payroll.
The last time S&P downgraded USA, its CEO, Deven Sharma, was quickly fired. That lesson has not been lost on other CEOs. The USA will not be downgraded again. Welcome to the land of the free, home of the brave.
Standard & Poor's said its president is stepping down, capping two weeks of controversy following the rating agency's downgrade of U.S. government debt on Aug. 5 that sparked a row with the Treasury.
S&P's parent McGraw-Hill Companies Inc, said on Tuesday Deven Sharma, who has served as S&P president since 2007, will be succeeded on Sept. 12 by Citibank Chief Operating Officer Douglas Peterson.
Just downgrade to junk already!
downgrade the world, the global economy is fucking shit.
yet, looking at the ponzi scheme u.s market, u would think this is a golden age.
The only rating that matters is the rating (+/-) you put on your own investment strategies. The other stuff is data of some sort, usually late to an alert investor.
same as schettino... the titanic is sinking, slowly but surely
Puffery is everywhere, even in the courts.
Solo BBB???
"a decade of real growth averaging minus 0.404%
How can they refer to that as "growth"?
"a decade of real growth averaging minus 0.404%
I love it that they're using three decimal places! At ten years out!!
Thems must be some damn smart boys!
Negative growth. Kind of like a flaccid hard-on.
my first wife was BBB+.
When a government seizes all the means of production, we call it Socialism. But when a government seeks to seize all the means of communication, including the press, acceptable religious worship, financial news, and rating agencies, we don't have a proper term for it.
On the bright side Latvia was upgraded from BBB to BBB+ by Fitch for... oh... joining the euro.
It's like jumping from a life-raft back onto the titanic.
My advice for Latvians, all 2 million of them... don't through those Lats away just yet.
latvians are not fools , they change their paper at www.tavex.lv

Elastizell Corporation of America
Elastizell Corporation of America
7900 Second St.
Dexter, MI 48130
Business Overview
Elastizell Corporation of America specializes in the testing, manufacture and distribution of materials and equipment for cellular concrete applications.
Sustainable Business Practices
Elastizell Corporation of America researches and develops products for use in the manufacture of cellular Elastizell concrete. They minimize their products environmental impact by recycling the rinse water after each day of manufacturing and excess research concrete mixes are cast into usable blocks, rather than being thrown away. For these and other reasons, Elastizell insulating concrete is recognized as a "Green building material and has been used in several LEED certified projects.
Elastizell continues to investigate and approve use of waste materials such as fly ashes removed from coal burning power plants and Cement Kiln Dust collected from cement plant smoke stacks. A newer implemented project is the possible reuse of recycled glass powders in cellular concrete applications. These waste materials are used in large scale projects all over the country, thus reducing the amount of these materials that would otherwise be placed in landfills.
In addition to these activities, Elastizell Corporation of America also reuses and recycles many items from their office area including office furniture, paper, cardboard, packing material, plastic, glass, scrap metal, computers, batteries, fluorescent lights, ink jet cartridges, and motor oil. After using paper on both sides, it is shredded and used for packing material. Elastizell has gutted an old house on their property and recycled everything possible. In addition, they recycle old chest freezers as concrete specimen curing tanks. Recently they resized theirsample box shipping containers to make them more easily reusable by their applicators. As a result, their applicators will be returning test samples in these recycled cardboard boxes. They have made a major effort in developing methods of carbon sequestration and are attempting to reduce greenhouse gasses by creating ways of entraining carbon dioxide, flue gasses and other carbon sources in cellular concrete.
In past years they have participated in DTE's Energy Efficiency Program for Business and replaced several old furnaces with a new High Efficiency furnaces. In 2013, they completely changed all shop lighting over to a new high efficiency lighting system, which includes sensors and timers on outdoor lighting. Through all upgrades they continue turning off all electronic items and lights that are not needed at the moment. Elastizell continues to promote and practice the three R's (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) and even take items that are not picked up by local curbside service over to Recycle Ann Arbor's Drop-Off Station and pays the required fees. They pride themselves on waste reduction practices and are always on the lookout for new innovative practices to adopt.

As a native person and an artist, Arthur Vickers said in court that the tradition of his people allows him to reclaim a painting if the cheque bounces.
But B.C. Supreme Court Justice David Masuhara said that tradition doesn't count when the buyer is someone like disgraced and bankrupt former Victoria financial counsellor Ian Thow.
In that case, Canadian legal tradition says the paintings belong to Thow and an artist is just one more creditor looking for his money. He must wait his turn.
In a decision released yesterday, Vickers, brother of renowned Roy Henry Vickers, was ordered to return three paintings, titled Orca, Cattail and Grace to the bankruptcy trustee for Thow.
According to the judgment, Vickers sold the paintings to Thow on March 4, 2005. Thow gave Vickers four cheques for $59,850 post-dated March 5, April 5, May 5 and June 5, 2005 and took the paintings the same day.
The last cheque bounced, so Vickers went to Thow's residence on June 16, 2005, and told him unless he made good on the payment Thow would be in breach of trust according to First Nations tradition. Also, Vickers told Thow he did not truly own the paintings unless he paid for them, and their friendship depended on payment.
The following day, Vickers came back and took the paintings.
Trustees for the bankruptcy objected, saying the paintings were Thow's. Therefore, Vickers could not place himself ahead of other creditors in the bankruptcy and help himself to an asset before everyone else. The judge agreed.
"A presumption arises that Mr. Thow transferred or charged his property [the paintings] to a creditor, Mr. Vickers, with a view to giving a preference to Mr. Vickers," wrote Masuhara.
Vickers said from his Duncan home yesterday that he doesn't really want to think or comment about the experience with Thow or the court. It interferes with his artistic impulses.
The once high-flying Thow, a former vice-president of Berkshire Investment Group, fled to Seattle in September 2005 after filing for bankruptcy, leaving 73 clients and creditors claiming he owed them more than $32 million.
A hearing by the B.C. Securities Commission has been scheduled for next summer to see if any action should be taken against Thow, and the RCMP is investigating to determine if any crimes were committed.
An arrest warrant under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Act has been filed for Thow in Canada.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

New Years Honours: Met Police Commissioner knighted
09:36 29 December 2012
Met Police Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe has been knighted and police officers who have helped protect the Royal Family have been recognised in the New Years Honours.
The Commissioner was recognised for his work to bringing new energy and action on gangs, guns and knife crime in the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) and his focus on sustaining front line visibility, as well as for overseeing policing during the Diamond Jubilee, the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
He said: "I am very proud and thrilled at this recognition of the hard work of colleagues in the Metropolitan Police, South Yorkshire, Merseyside and Her Majesty's Inspectorate.
"I couldn't have achieved this without the love and support of my wife Marion, and my mum, who hasn't seen the day."
Five other Met Police members and one retired officer were also named in the New Years Honours for their outstanding contribution to policing.
Ch Insp Vincent Hoar, who has 31 years service, has been appointed a member of the Royal Victorian Order (MVO).
He has been recognised for his contribution to policing and his work as head of the Special Escort Group, who provides escorts for senior members of the Royal Family and visiting Heads of State.
Recent major events for the team included the wedding of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee
Ch Insp Hoar said: "It has been a great privilege to lead the Special Escort Group and this appointment pays tribute to the team's professionalism. I am deeply honoured."
Now retired Insp Richard Lett has appointed a Member of the Royal Victorian Order (MVO). He joined Royalty Protection in January 1999, as a Personal Protection Officer to Princes William and Harry and later to Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
He undertook a highly significant role co-ordinating protection at Westminster Abbey for the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and also acted as Protection Coordinator for many events at Buckingham Palace during the recent London Olympic Games.
Insp Lett retired from the Metropolitan Police in November 2012, after completing 30 years of outstanding service, in particular with the Royalty Protection Department.
He said: "I am immensely proud of all my service with the Metropolitan Police. The opportunity to contribute to so many major events, the protection of the Royal Family and the diversity of the capital city has made policing in London a wonderful experience."
PC James Engelbach receives the Queen's Policing Medal for Distinguished Service.
The 58-year-old has been in the police for 39 years. He spent the first two and a half years of his career in Norfolk before joining the Met. PC Engelbach, who works on a response team in Ealing, has spent the majority of his career working a 24-hour shift and dealing with the emergency calls from the public at the very front line of policing.
During his career he has policed the Silver, Golden and Diamond Jubilees.
His most memorable moment was when he rescued a man from a burning building in the early 1990s. He attended the scene after receiving reports of a building ablaze in Paddington. The occupier had returned from a night out, started cooking some food and fell asleep, resulting in the food catching fire and the building going up in flames. PC Engelbach crawled into the burning building and dragged the man out, ultimately saving his life.
He said: "I'm stunned to be awarded this great honour. I've have experienced a lot in the job and had plenty of fun on the way, and I'm not quite finished yet."
Robert Crawley, known as Bob, is head of health and wellbeing and has been made an OBE for his development and advancement of occupational health services available to MPS officers and staff.
The 58-year-old has worked in the MPS for over 40 years and in the Occupational Health Unit for more than 12 years.
In that time his team has developed a variety of initiatives and won a number of awards for helping individuals identify and manage stress. He has also been active in improving attendance management in the MPS reducing absence levels by 30 percent and encouraging healthier lifestyles through health promotion initiatives covering fitness regimes. He has also been instrumental in providing advice and guidance on specific issues such as gender specific cancers.
He said said: "I am very pleased to have the work and contribution of the Occupational Health Unit recognised outside of the Met."
Det Ch Supt James Busby has been awarded the Queen's Policing Medal for Distinguished Service for services to Counter Terrorism Policing, including the planning for the 2012 Olympic Games.
He was the lead counter terrorist planner for the Olympic Games and was Chief of Staff to the Assistant Commissioner Specialist Operations during The Games themselves.
Det Ch Supt Busby said: "I am really proud of our very small team who, behind the scenes, did so much for so long to make the Games safe. This is a tribute to their dedication to duty and professionalism."
Det Supt Pamela Mace, who has worked for the MPS for 30 years and is currently based in the Counter Terrorism Command, is awarded the Queen's Policing Medal for Distinguished Service.
She said: "I am extremely honoured to be awarded a QPM. Awards like this are never achieved alone and I must thank my family and colleagues who have supported me over the past 30 years in the Met Police."

Anne Patton Schubert, Taylorsville, has been elected as a delegate to the 127th Annual American Angus Association® Convention of Delegates, November 15 in Louisville, reports Bryce Schumann, CEO of the American Angus Association.
Schubert is one of 354 Angus breeders who have been elected by fellow members in their state to serve as a representative at the annual meeting.
Representing 43 states and Canada, the delegates will participate in the business meeting and elect new officers and five directors.
Brenda Hagan found her recipe for green tomato bread in the fall issue of the magazine Acres USA: A Voice for Eco-Agriculture. Her husband subscribes to the magazine. She wanted something different to bring to the September meeting of the Bluegrass Basket Guild in Taylorsville, and thought green tomato bread fit the bill.
"It's unusual, different and fairly easy to make," said Hagan, who lives in Bloomfield.
Taylorsville Lake annual
clean sweep
As the summer season draws to a close, it is time to clean up the leftovers of a long party. The Taylorsville Lake Conservation Committee is sponsoring the event to be held Saturday, Sept. 25, beginning at 8 a.m.
This year is a dual effort in that as groups tidy up the lake area, other groups are invited to participate in a riverbank walk, cleaning the bank of Salt River from the Claude Owens canoe ramp downstream to Simpson Creek.
Craft Day at the Taylorsville Farmers Market was started in 2009 with the idea, according to Farmers Market Chair Sandi Deutsch, of "bringing more interest and variety into the farmers market."
The market has grown since it began, but Deutsch is looking for ways to bring more people downtown for the market.
Donna Bulf has been making her yellow squash casserole for about six years. She does not remember where she got it.
"It's good and easy to make. It's good if you have a potluck to go to," said Bulf. She doubles the recipe when she is taking it to a potluck, like the Waterford Homemakers annual picnic where she took the squash casserole in June.
She also makes squash casserole at home a lot. She will sometimes make an extra pan of it to send next door to her grandkids, who request that she make it, especially in the summer.

Earnings worries dent global stocks
filed in Market News on Jan.14, 2014
Underscoring concerns, JPMorgan Chase reported lower-than-expected earnings per share on Tuesday, sending its shares slightly lower in pre-market trade. Almost 10 of every 11 earnings pre-announcements for the current earnings season from companies in the U.S. S&P 500 index have cut estimates, Thomson Reuters data showed. The FTSEurofirst 300 of pan-European shares was down 0.4 percent at 1158 GMT, with the broader MSCI World index , which tracks shares in 45 countries, also down 0.4 percent at 402.52 points. U.S. stock index futures pointed to a flat-to-higher start for the cash market after the worst one-day fall since November for the U.S. S&P 500 index.

1990–1999: Early Activities
Development of the SEARCH program began in the mid-1990s, as a number of scientists became concerned about the magnitude of the changes they were observing in arctic ocean and atmospheric conditions. Led by James Morison at the University of Washington's Polar Science Center, the group circulated an open letter to the scientific community proposing a program to track and understand major changes in the arctic environment.
By April 1997, 40 scientists from 25 institutions had signed the letter, which called for an international effort, initially called the "Study of Arctic Change," to investigate those changes through measurement, data analysis, and modeling. The letter was endorsed by the NSF Arctic System Science (ARCSS) Ocean–Atmosphere–Ice Interactions Science Steering Committee.
With support from the ARCSS Program, the University of Washington hosted an open workshop in November 1997 on the Study of Arctic Change. More than 70 scientists reported on recent ocean and atmospheric changes in the Arctic, corroborating earlier observations of change and suggesting a suite of changes that were arctic-wide. As the effort developed, its name changed to the Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH), and SEARCH advanced beyond sponsorship by the ARCSS Program to a broader initiative involving several federal agencies.
1999–2001: SEARCH Science Plan
At a 1999 workshop, 39 researchers began to draft the first SEARCH Science Plan. Published in 2001, the Science Plan summarizes observed changes; presents original SEARCH hypotheses, objectives, and strategies; and recommends a broad multidisciplinary program aimed at understanding the interrelated arctic changes and their implications.
As the science plan developed, SEARCH gained increasing recognition. In 1999, the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) included SEARCH as "ready for immediate attention" in the U.S. Arctic Research Plan, and a SEARCH Interagency Working Group (IWG) (now the Interagency Program Management Committee, IPMC) chaired by NOAA was established and tasked. The IPMC consists of the eight federal agencies responsible for scientific research in the Arctic that have agreed to work together on SEARCH.
In addition, collaborative arrangements were initiated with international research programs such as the Arctic Climate System Study (ACSYS), the Climate and Cryosphere Project (CLiC), and the Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) program. The international aspects of SEARCH continue to develop.
2002–2007: SEARCH Implementation
The SEARCH Implementation Strategy, outlining science questions, program organization, and implementation activities and priorities, was published by the SEARCH SSC and IPMC (then IWG) in October 2003 and widely circulated at the first SEARCH Open Science Meeting, which provided an international forum for presentation and discussion of research that addresses the basic premise of SEARCH — that there exists a complex of interrelated pan-Arctic changes occurring across terrestrial, oceanic, atmospheric and human systems.
In May 2005, a SEARCH Implementation Workshop was held to establish priorities and next steps for implementation, particularly during the International Polar Year and beyond. Workshop participants identified several science questions building on the hypotheses presented in the 2001 SEARCH Science Plan. These questions were then organized into Observing, Understanding, and Responding activities, and corresponding panels were established to guide the science in each of these realms.
At the 2006 SEARCH SSC Meeting, further planning and implementation was discussed in the the context of the upcoming International Polar Year (IPY) and recent report from the Polar Research Board: Toward an Integrated Arctic Observing Network.
In January 2006, the National Science Foundation (NSF) released an IPY announcement of opportunity for the creation of an Arctic Observing Network (AON) to enable SEARCH by measuring the full range of continuing changes now underway. AON is a system of atmospheric, land- and ocean-based environmental monitoring capabilities—from ocean buoys to satellites—that will significantly advance observations of arctic environmental conditions. In 2007, a SEARCH SSC Meeting focused on assessing implementation of observing activities, remaining gaps, and increasing coordination with agencies and international arctic efforts.
2008: Recent Activities
In March 2008, the Arctic Observation Integration Workshops were held to advance the planning and implementation of an integrated Arctic Observation System. The workshop series, sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), included three interrelated meetings: 1) an AON investigator meeting, 2) a workshop on optimizing deployment of platforms for observations of the ocean-ice-atmosphere system, and 3) a workshop to improve understanding of recent arctic sea ice change and its impacts throughout the arctic system.
Nearly 70 projects, inventoried in the SEARCH Project Catalog, are funded as SEARCH activities by U.S. agencies. Many more SEARCH-related projects are supported through other national and international programs. Recent SEARCH planning efforts are focused on full implementation of observing, understanding, and responding activities through multi-agency efforts and collaborations with interntional programs.

Norman, OK
Following Friday night's finale of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, Starz will roll out an early look at the first episode of Camelot, the cable channel's fantastic-looking retelling of the King Arthur story.
Even if you're not a fan of quasi-medieval fantasy or costumed drama in general, you have to admit the film-quality cast and production values are pretty appealing. The 10-episode series stars Joseph Fiennes (FlashForward, Shakespeare in Love) as Merlin, Jamie Campbell Bower (Sweeney Todd, New Moon) as a young and reckless Arthur, Eva Green (The Golden Compass, Casino Royale) as Morgan and Tamsin Egerton (The Mists of Avalon, St. Trinian's) as Guinevere. Here's the official synopsis:
In the wake of King Uther's sudden death, chaos threatens to engulf Britain. When the sorcerer Merlin has visions of a dark future, he installs the young and impetuous Arthur, Uther's unknown son and heir, who has been raised from birth as a commoner. But Arthur's cold and ambitious half sister Morgan will fight him to the bitter end, summoning unnatural forces to claim the crown in this epic battle for control. These are dark times indeed for the new King, with Guinevere being the only shining light in Arthur's harsh world. Faced with profound moral decisions, and the challenge of uniting a kingdom broken by war and steeped in deception, Arthur will be tested beyond imagination. Forget everything you think you know — this is the story of Camelot that has never been told before.
The sneak preview airs at 11:05 p.m. ET/PT Friday and again at the same time on Sunday. The series officially premieres on April 1.

this is why my god is Zues. or Zeus. i forget the spelling but the point is. PHUCK YOU ALL MTFers all IMHO only as my GOD has LIGHTENING BOLTS to shove up your lame ahoes. all IMHO only of course and i mean no harm.
Drop dead.
"If I thought I had the power to do something I would be fighting Bush right now."
Collectively we have the power. The power does not come alive until enough people wake up from their slumber.
Do you come in contact with many people? Family/loved ones? Over the last five years or so have you made a dedicated effort to get them to wake up to just the monetary scam which helps get one in on the ground floor understanding the why behind so many wars and suffering? Have you offered them books/info from websites in a sincere desire to get them to perhaps see for themselves be examining the abundant evidence which puts one on the road to truth? If you have, then you are doing something. One person at a time my sound simplistic, but that is what it comes down to. Currently there is a collective consciousness of apathy which leads to ignorance and gullibility. When enough people wake up from their slumber, things will change.
We have rapidly digressed to the point where even if enough people wake up, it will still be a monumental battle. The cabal has come too far since 63 to give up anything without trying to cripple constitutional resistance.
Do you understand the reality of zionism and men like John Hagee, Pat Robertson, and so many other wolves in sheep clothing? Are we already under the Noahide Laws? What are they?
Good and evil? What is the origin of good and evil?
The satanic cabal is arrogantly awaiting to launch into the next phase. Would you accept and serve an anti-Christ figure in order to "survive" and avoid imprisonment or death?
I've never obeyed anybody my entire life. I've always been the "master" of my destiny and the "master" at work. I've always been fair and just in my dealings with people.
As far as the system goes, it is too late to do anything. If you knew any history you would realize it was just the rich colonials trying to get richer..that's all. They didn't want to pay England her fair share of taxes. And by the way, England spent a lot of money bailing out america in the French and Indian War but then again you know nothing about truth and reality.
Why werent you in Washington protesting against what Bush did to this country? You and the youth are the wussies. If I thought I had the power to do something I would be fighting Bush right now. But I don't believe I can do anything. BUT YOU DO. SO WHY ARENT YOU FIGHTING BUSH?
No, you are waiting for the day when the mob takes over.
You are the wuss.
"The system is the system and there aint much we can do about it. "
You sound like a big wus burmudy. You would have been a supporter of King George back in the colonial days for sure. Yep, can't fight the King. Might as well do what he says. The King says bow and turn in your long rifles. We better obey or we will be in big trouble. Wussies don't like to read my posts, so I'm glad you don't. Is the truth and reality too much for you to handle?
Guess what. There is nowhere you can go to run and hide from what your masters have in store for you.
I'll have to try those authors.
I actually liked Borgnine. He was a funny actor. I watched Mchales Navy as a kid.
Don't watch any TV any more. It's all crap accept for the learning channels. Can't even find a good modern writer. I got so bored I even wrote a novel to amuse myslef "no wife no kids no plan" but it didn't sell too many copies. The truth never does.
The problem with these "artists" is that they sell out after they have made it. The only musicians I like are the ones that died young.
I just hate when famous people refuse to give their autographs, not that I would ask. I detest celebrities.

All About Webcasts
What is a Webcast?
The word Webcast is derived from "Web" and "broadcast." Its use has varied since the early to mid- 1990s, as the nature of the medium came into public use. Online conferences or Web seminars (also known as Webcasts) use the Internet to broadcast a live or delayed audio and/or video transmission to a targeted group of users who log in for the event… Continue reading

British Debts versus
American Markets
WHEN AT THE age of twenty-seven, Washington, home from the wars and just married, settled down at Mount Vernon, he possessed almost no actual experience as a Tidewater planter. Far from interfering with the profitable Custis operations, he switched his own business in England from the factors he had found for himself * to the Custis factor, Robert Cary & Co.
To Cary, Washington wrote that he intended to use on his own plantations the Custis seeds and methods. 1 However, he regarded this as only as a temporary expedient.
He ordered agricultural books from England, including "a small piece in octavo called A System of Agriculture or a Speedy Way to Get Rich." From the more technical of the manuals he copied out with his pen, probably to engrave the contents on his memory, long extracts. But he also engaged in personal experimentation, for he realized that "what is good and profitable husbandry in one country may not be so in another."____________________

They make doing Kegal's way more fun!
The vibrating feels wonderful!!
These are a fun way to make doing housework a little more endurable. Turn up the vibrations and enjoy
For the price it's so much fun ;)
Product DescriptionSlick, supple and subtly weighted weighted, the fantastic Vibrating Ben-Wa balls are a great take on this type of classic pleasure/kegel tool. Effectively, virtually effortlessly building up the pelvic floor muscles during use, the sensation of the Balls inside the vagina (or anal canal, if you like) is unparalleled and very pleasurable.
Made from a firm, precise plastic material, the double strand of perfectly spherical beads need to be held in place, causing the wearer to squeeze and flex the pelvic floor muscles, hence, the workout. If you practice kegel exercises, they're are perfect for helping you isolate the muscles to work out, and as mentioned, the feeling of the balls gently jiggling and vibrating with movement is unique and thrilling.Taking the pleasurable aspect of Ben-Wa ball use even further, this set features 4 modes of incredible vibration that causes the beads to pulsate and throb in time with an impressively powerful motor. The vibration is controlled with a simple handheld remote, which requires 2 AA batteries (sold separately). Always use a good water or silicone based lube if needed with the Balls.
- Length - 5 1/4"
- Girth - 4 1/4" around at largest

There are any number of forums this question could be asked in, but since both my wife and I are in our mid-50s, and there is much common sense and wisdom in this group, here goes.
We live in a hilly area with gravel and paved roads. My wife likes to walk and cross country ski for exercise. I really think she's like cycling if she had the right bike. Like the huge majority of bike owners around here, she has a mountain bike. She bought this on her own from a reputable bike shop a few years ago, and it is a pretty decent bike - a Gary Fischer, aluminum frame with front suspension. I think the seat is OK because it is a woman's seat and the LBS went through options with her.
She's never liked riding this bike. It is a fairly aggressive MTB - low handlebars, particularly. I would like some advice or words of wisdom on what to do to get her at least comfortable on a bike. Her use is very typical for a hybrid or even a comfort bike: rolling hills and flats, pavement and gravel, with the occasional non-technical, smooth trail. She is OK fitness-wise, but not strong, so she (we) will be planning rides for moderate hills and avoiding the tough stuff. I am considering two options:
Option 1: modify this MTB. I already have a long adjustable stem off another bike I have in the garage that I can swap for the low (threadless) stem now on the bike. This stem will easily get the handlebars even or a couple inches above the seat. My second step would be to replace the knobby MTB tires with a slick/road type tire. Beleve me, she will never be riding this bike on a trail that requires serious tire tread. Other than the tires, the only other change I might consider is some more "curved" handle bars to replace the flat bars now on the bike. I don't know if that change would help, except psychologically I think she thinks those flat bars are uncomfortable and too "racy". I don't know, what do you think.
The other option is to buy a new hybrid type bike. What I'm talking about here is a non-suspension bike with 700 wheels, but nice fat, mildly treaded tires. As far as I can tell, the gearing is similar to MTB. I am not thinking of spending a lot of money for the bike, on the magnitude of $300-$500.
So, does anyone have experience "converting" a MTB for more "hybrid" type use by changing the stem and tires? Obviously, the cost of this would be less, just the cost of the tires pretty much. On the other hand, I really have no problem with spending $500 if it would get her rolling. Is there any reason to think either frame is inherently more comfortable... Assuming I can make the necessary adjustments in the stem, bars and seat of the MTB?
Would a cheap(ish) (read kind of heavy) 700 wheel'd hybrid serve any real advantage to a MTB frame with suitable tires? The MTB will have a suspension, but won't be a huge amount heavier since it is a pretty decent, light frame to begin with.
Thanks for any advice and insight you can give.

People with strong addictions, behavioral problems or other mental disabilities, may be denied proper care due to budget cuts.
On Tuesday a house appropriation subcommittee for Human and Health services proposed to cut half of it's 4 billion dollar budget for various health services.
Sean Kenny is the Director at Eastern Carolina Case Management in Winterville. It's a company that helps people with mental disabilities, behavioral issues, and drug addiction. He says the budget cuts could eliminate hundreds of jobs in the east and thousands of jobs across the state and have a larger impact on people who need community support services.
Kenny says the fate of these programs will take place on Thursday when the house committee is scheduled to make a final vote on the proposed budget cuts

Belkin Modular plugs
This review is from: BELKIN R6G099-LB-100 CAT6 RJ45 Modular Plugs
Pros: Can't think of any I had high hopes because they were belkin but these are nearly impossible to feed the wires into , I am not sure why anyone would want these with the load bars I wish I had paid closer attention before ordering them
Cons: The load bars are horrible I used 6 of them and all six the little wedge that was supposed to crimp onto the wire popped out. not what I expected from belkin I would not recommend these plugs to anyone, I think the load bars actually make it harder to build cables.

Load bars :(
This review is from: BELKIN R6G099-LB-100 CAT6 RJ45 Modular Plugs
Pros: they work
Cons: load bars are for beginners. I did not realize that the LB stood for Load Bar as the description newegg gives doesnt specific this (at the time of my purchase)
Other Thoughts: We will use these for emergencies but load bars slows down the process if you know what your doing. They are PERFECT for people who are starting out and need to get the rhyme down
