A few news reports might have led Foolish investors to scratch their heads with confusion recently. On the one hand, the U.S. trade deficit came in lower than expected in May -- indicating good global growth. On the other, it was reported that the managing director of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, was signaling a cut in the IMF's global growth forecasts. Although, the two events appear contradictory, there is actually an explanation, which sees a positive outcome for companies like United Parcel Service (NYSE:UPS), FedEx (NYSE:FDX), and Boeing (NYSE:BA).
U.S. trade deficit lower
The drop in the U.S. trade deficit to $44.4 billion in May, was somewhat lower than most economists had forecast, and turns out to be a good indication of U.S. growth for three reasons. First, exports grew to a record high -- suggesting that international growth will aid U.S. GDP growth in future quarters, as American companies export more. Second, nonpetroleum imports also hit a new high -- an indication that U.S. domestic demand has picked up. Third, the reason that the deficit fell, partly because net imports of oil fell, this is a good sign because it indicates that the U.S. is moving toward self sufficiency in energy production.
The following chart demonstrates the U.S. trade deficit, and the impact of falling net oil imports:
Moreover, a snap-back in U.S. growth is only to be expected following a weather-affected first quarter in North America. All told, the strength in export demand is a positive sign, and augers well for logistics and shipping companies like UPS and FedEx.
Global growth lower too, what about Boeing, FedEx, and UPS?
With that said, why was Lagarde making negative noises on global growth? In a Bloomberg article, Lagarde said that the "global economy is gathering speed, though the pace may be a bit less than we previously predicted because the growth potential is lower and investment."
This sort of commentary suggests a reduction in the IMF's global growth forecasts, so what does it all mean for Boeing, FedEx, and UPS?
The key point is that global trade is not the same thing as global growth. Although, the two things are usually highly correlated, there has been a decoupling effect in recent years. This can be represented by looking at figures for air passenger and cargo revenue since the recession.
The good news is that cargo revenue -- a proxy for global trade growth -- is forecast to increase in 2014, and UPS and FedEx are seeing it in their earnings, too. For example, FedEx's CFO, Alan Graf, said the following on FedEx conference call recently: "Our global trade growth is improving. It is still below historical norms. We do expect the pace of trade growth improvement to continue throughout calendar year '14 and into calendar year '15."
Similarly, UPS generated 5% revenue growth in its international revenue, with international export volume coming in 7.7% higher in the first quarter. UPS's management also noted that they were "encouraged by the positive business trends we're seeing especially in Europe."
Moreover, if global trade is improving, then demand for airplanes for transportation purposes (cargo and passenger) is also going to increase -- good news for Boeing. Indeed, FedEx recently outlined that it was increasing its capital expenditures to $4.2 billion in its financial year 2015 from $3.5 billion this year, as it plans to support its fleet modernization program.
The bottom line
All told, the evidence is that global trade is picking up, even if global growth forecasts are not. Moreover, the commentary from FedEx and UPS is indicating that demand from Europe is improving, while China is under pressure to increase its domestic demand. The decline in U.S. net oil imports is not bad news for Boeing, on the contrary, it could be indicating that oil prices are headed lower -- good news for air transport. Meanwhile, record U.S. exports and non-petroleum imports imply that cargo transportation is about to improve. All of which, should help logistics companies like FedEx and UPS, while companies exported to trends in transportation, like Boeing, will benefit too.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

Acne is common during pregnancy. In fact, more than one out of every two pregnant women can expect to develop acne. In some cases, the acne may be severe.
The primary cause of acne when you're pregnant is the increased hormone levels in the first trimester. The higher level increases the skin's production of natural oils. It's hard to predict who will develop pregnancy acne. You have a higher risk, though, if you have a history of acne or have acne flares at the start of your menstrual cycle. If you do not develop acne during the first trimester, it's unlikely you'll have breakouts that are out of the ordinary during the second or third trimesters.
Managing acne when you're pregnant can be tricky. That's because many prescription and over-the-counter treatments come with a high risk of birth defects. In general, you should avoid any medication that has even a remote chance of harming your baby.
Here is information about pregnancy acne that can help keep you and your unborn baby safe.
Dealing With Acne During Pregnancy
Pregnancy acne is a natural, cosmetic condition. It usually subsides when hormone levels return to normal. So the safest thing to do is to avoid any prescription acne medications or over-the-counter chemical spot treatments. Instead, you can rely on drug-free home remedies. But before starting any acne treatment when you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor about what's best -- and safest -- for you.
Unsafe Treatments for Pregnancy Acne
Isotretinoin is an oral medication that has revolutionized the way severe acne is treated. However, it's especially dangerous when you are pregnant. That's because the drug can affect a fetus and cause serious birth defects.
Any patient who takes isotretinoin, as well as any doctor who prescribes it, pharmacy that dispenses it, and wholesaler who distributes it, must enroll in a special program that's part of a risk-management program to prevent pregnancy and birth defects.
Because the risks are so high, women of childbearing age who take the drug need to be on two forms of birth control starting at least one month before they begin therapy. They also need to stay on two forms of birth control for at least one month after therapy ends. Also, women must have pregnancy tests before, during, and after treatment.

Objective. To determine whether inflammatory markers prospectively predict depressive symptom severity 12 months later in heart failure (HF) patients. Methods. In 30 HF patients we assessed depressive symptom severity by the Beck depression inventory (BDI) at baseline as well as 12 months later. We measured circulating levels of the soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM)-1, the cytokine interleukin (IL)-6 and the acute phase protein C-reactive protein (CRP) at baseline assessment. Results. sICAM-1 (r=.38, p=.045) but not CRP or IL-6 correlated with BDI scores 12 months later. Hierarchical linear regression analysis revealed that independent of baseline BDI assessment, cardiovascular risk factors, indicators of HF disease severity, and medication intake, sICAM-1 significantly predicted BDI scores 12 months later. sICAM-1 independently explained between 7% (beta=.26, p=.040) and 10% (beta=.35, p=.045) of the total variance in BDI scores 12 months later. Conclusion. The findings from this exploratory analysis suggest that the adhesion molecule sICAM-1 is an independent predictor of depressive symptoms 12 months later in HF patients. Our prospective findings support the suggested role for inflammation in increasing future depressive symptom severity and extend this linkage for the first time to HF.

Toronto, Canada - April 15, 2014 – Today, the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences received confirmation from the National Science Foundation (NSF) of the United States that they will fund the Institute with $690,000 (US). This will be done through a project grant over three fiscal years in order to support US-based scientists to participate in the Institute's programs and activities. This project will be administered by the Director of the Institute, Dr. Walter Craig, and the Deputy Director, Dr. Matheus Grasselli. The award will become effective today, April 15th 2014, and will continue though until March 31st, 2017.
The proposal for funding was submitted to the NSF in May 2013 by the Institute's previous director, Edward Bierstone, to provide support for the numbers of mathematicians who come from institutions in the United States to contribute to work being done at the Fields Institute. The award we received today is a recognition of the importance of the Institute's activities.
As a Canadian Institution with deep international connections to the mathematical community, the Fields Institute believes that this grant represents an acknowledgement of their importance to research being done outside its geographic boarders. Approximately 4000 researchers from around the world participate in Fields Institute programs each year. On average 620 are US-based researchers, about half of whom are offered support by the Institute. Also about one-half of these US-based researchers are junior faculty, postdoctoral researchers or graduate students.
Their time spent at the Institute as participants, speakers in conferences, or in workshops, advanced courses, and other events provides the opportunity for them to work with and learn from some of the top international researchers in their areas of specialization. This NSF grant award provides resources to support some of these US-based researchers for their participation at the Fields Institute. The impact of this funding will be to provide travel and local support for approximately 92 US-based participants per year, for the most part early career mathematicians, including junior faculty, students, and postdoctoral fellows.
When asked how these funds will impact the Institution and its programs, Dr. Craig stated that the funds will enable the Institute to further develop their relationships with their colleagues in the United States. "The contributions of US-based scientists has always been important to the Fields Institute, with the United States having one of the most vibrant national research enterprises in the world. Programs held at the Institute represent a very good deal for the NSF, in getting the most for its researchers out of the programs and scientific activities we hold at the Institute. This award is a recognition of this fact, and solidifies our relationship with the NSF and with our US-based colleagues," he said.
Dr. Grasselli believes that the award can be seen as confirmation of the place that the Institute holds in the esteem of both the NSF and the world.
"Along the IHES outside of Paris, the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach in Germany, and BIRS in Banff Canada, the Fields Institute is only the fourth international institution that has been selected to be directly funded by the NSF," said Dr. Grasselli. "This demonstrates the selectivity that NSF employs when making these decisions. The other institutes are certainly world-class, and I think this is, in part, a recognition of the fact that Fields shares the same caliber of research and discovery that these other organisations do," said Dr. Grasselli.
"The Fields Institute plays an important role in the Canadian mathematical sciences community, showcasing our research on the international playing field, and bringing the world's mathematical scientists to Toronto to work, collaborate, and share their results," said Dr. Craig. "Our partners span the globe and we benefit, both directly and indirectly, from research advances, both theoretical and in the applications of mathematical ideas. In fact the time it takes for a theoretical result to go from the desk of a researcher to applications with an impact on society can be remarkably short, as for example in medical imaging or in algorithms used for internet traffic or for industrial simulations. The Institute is our vehicle for bringing a focal point of the international mathematical research enterprise to Canada."

Game Pages
We have a number of small changes coming to game pages, a few of them are on the admin side, but there's a couple you'll be able to see as well, including a text limit on descriptions and some fixes to the design.
We're also working through a backlog of game submissions that have piled up since early summer, and we hope to get through them all during November, so if you've submitted a game in the last few months and haven't seen it appear on the site, you should be getting an email soon.
Playfire Emails
Those of you who have been submitting a lot of updates to game pages may have noticed we're currently sending out a lot of emails to you. We apologise for the spam, and are looking at a way to inform you of updates without sending one email per upload.
Problems with Friend Finder
Friend finder was kicking up an error for anyone trying to use it to... find friends! It's now working as usual, sorry for the inconvenience, please let us know if you have any further problems.
Game Tracking
Xbox 360 tracking should be working for most users, though we're aware it can take a long time to update. We're working purely on keeping it up and running right now while we continue to work out our new tracking system, which we'll hopefully be able to talk about during November.
Game Collection and Reviews
Originally we wanted to focus on game collection work immediately after game pages, but as we're now coming up to the busy Christmas period, we're going to swap over and focus on getting a review system working first, as it's actually a little less development work and fits in well with games pages as they work currently. We'll then pick up Game collection after that.
Please let us know in the comments if you have any ideas, suggestions, or things you liked / didn't like about the old review system!

So here is the scenario:
My Father-in-law lives in a VERY bad area in Milwaukee. He and his wife are out of town for a few weeks and have in recent years had a string of break-ins at their house prompting them to get a security system. Unknown to me I am a contact for his ADT security system. At 9pm last night I was on my way home from school and received a call from ADT saying there are motion sensors going off within the house. Milwaukee Police do not respond to alarms with any sense of urgency unless they know a burglary is in process. So being near school I am only about 10 minuets away and start heading down there so none of my wife's brothers have to make the 34 minute drive down from where we all live. I roll up on the house and EVERY light in the house is on and there is some dude standing at the end of their driveway looking up and down the street and then walks back up the driveway to the house. My alarm bells start going off like crazy thinking that a burglary is still in process and this guys is the look out. I immediately call 911 and tell them I think a burglary is in process and tell them where. 2 minutes later they come rolling up at which time I get out of my car after circling the block out of sight not to spook anyone that may be in or around the house until the police arrive. Long story short is that the guy was the neighbor who is evidently also on the ADT call list who I have never met and was waiting for his brother who is a LEO that just got off duty to show up and clear the house for him. Police did their routine and cleared the whole house and it must have been a defective motion sensor because nothing was out of the ordinary.
I was armed with my S&W M&P 9C but had no intentions of jumping out of the car and asking the suspicious dude what was going on for fear of things going south if he was involved.
Would anyone have handled this any differently? I think I did the best under the circumstances, I was not going to investigate the situation myself given the odd appearance of the house with every light on and a guys in the driveway.
Keep in mind this neighborhood is so bad I wont even take my family there for Christmas, it is that bad.

Our exclusive look at the group's show takes you backstage for the group, where Quez wears a plush fur-lined jacket while talking about all the high-fashion brands he rocks ("At the SAME DAMN TIME!!"), before Porter take the stage to send their fans into a frenzy with recent hit "Ayy Ladies." (Later, one of those fans hollers at them from the street, asking about an after-party—alas, no such luck.)

"The hand that gives is above the hand that takes."
June 5th, 2007 4:20 am | by Marc Gallagher | Published in Banking, Debt, Economics, Federal Reserve, History, Liberty, Philosophy | 0
Napoleon Bonaparte said the words, "The hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency: their sole object is gain."
He believed that any government that borrows money from private banks, the government no longer controls the country, the private bank owners do.
This is explained, in perhaps too much detail, in this fascinating documentary entitled: "The Money Masters: How International Bankers Gained Control of America." It is pretty long at 90 minutes, but I found it extremely informative and interesting.
As a supporter of Ron Paul, and hearing him speak against the 'fiat' money system America has today instilled in me the desire to learn more about it. This documentary accomplished that, along with some other materials.
This documentary goes way back in history to the earliest money systems with regards to debt and control of the money supply through today.

Newsweek's "Turn of the Page" Means "30″ for Some Staff
The announcement by Newsweek Daily Beast Co. editor-in-chief Tina Brown and CEO Baba Shetty that the venerable weekly news magazine will shutter its dead trees edition is also a pink slip.
As with nearly all corporate news releases, you need to read this one from the bottom to get the news. Here's a key line from the next to last paragraph:
"Regrettably we anticipate staff reductions and the streamlining of our editorial and business operations both here in the U.S. and internationally."
In other words, it's "30″ for some of Newsweek's employees — the code old-school newsies use to indicate the end of a story, or the end of a stint at a publication. NewsBeast evidently hasn't figured out how to go all-digital and maintain the same level of revenue, or the same journalism cost structure.
The full text of the Newsweek announcement follows:
We are announcing this morning an important development at Newsweek and The Daily Beast. Newsweek will transition to an all-digital format in early 2013. As part of this transition, the last print edition in the United States will be our Dec. 31 issue.
Meanwhile, Newsweek will expand its rapidly growing tablet and online presence, as well as its successful global partnerships and events business.
Newsweek Global, as the all-digital publication will be named, will be a single, worldwide edition targeted for a highly mobile, opinion-leading audience who want to learn about world events in a sophisticated context. Newsweek Global will be supported by paid subscription and will be available through e-readers for both tablet and the Web, with select content available on The Daily Beast.
Four years ago we launched The Daily Beast. Two years later, we merged our business with the iconic Newsweek magazine—which The Washington Post Company had sold to Dr. Sidney Harman. Since the merger, both The Daily Beast and Newsweek have continued to post and publish distinctive journalism and have demonstrated explosive online growth in the process. The Daily Beast now attracts more than 15 million unique visitors a month, a 70 percent increase in the past year alone—a healthy portion of this traffic generated each week by Newsweek's strong original journalism.
At the same time, our business has been increasingly affected by the challenging print advertising environment, while Newsweek's online and e-reader content has built a rapidly growing audience through the Apple, Kindle, Zinio and Nook stores as well as on The Daily Beast. Tablet-use has grown rapidly among our readers and with it the opportunity to sustain editorial excellence through swift, easy digital distribution—a superb global platform for our award-winning journalism. By year's end, tablet users in the United States alone are expected to exceed 70 million, up from 13 million just two years ago.
Currently, 39 percent of Americans say they get their news from an online source, according to a Pew Research Center study released last month. In our judgment, we have reached a tipping point at which we can most efficiently and effectively reach our readers in all-digital format. This was not the case just two years ago. It will increasingly be the case in the years ahead.
It is important that we underscore what this digital transition means and, as importantly, what it does not. We are transitioning Newsweek, not saying goodbye to it. We remain committed to Newsweek and to the journalism that it represents. This decision is not about the quality of the brand or the journalism—that is as powerful as ever. It is about the challenging economics of print publishing and distribution.
Newsweek is produced by a gifted and tireless team of professionals who have been offering brilliant work consistently throughout a tough period of ownership transition and media disruption. Regrettably we anticipate staff reductions and the streamlining of our editorial and business operations both here in the U.S. and internationally.
Exiting print is an extremely difficult moment for all of us who love the romance of print and the unique weekly camaraderie of those hectic hours before the close on Friday night. But as we head for the 80th anniversary of Newsweek next year we must sustain the journalism that gives the magazine its purpose—and embrace the all-digital future.
Tina Brown is the editor-in-chief and founder of The Newsweek Daily Beast Company. Baba Shetty is its CEO.

"I believe students that would normally struggle, can excel in their studies with the use of technology."
Scottsville, KY -- The Allen County School District has announced that Jason Bean will serve as the new Director of Technology. Bean replaces Lisa Simmons who retired in June.
"This will be my first leadership role and I'm very excited about it.," Bean said. "I plan to work closely with the administration at each school and the central office to ensure my department is doing its best to provide the students and staff of Allen County the necessary technology tools to be the best they can be."
Bean is a native of Brownsville and a 1995 graduate of Edmonson County High School. In 1997, Bean received an Associates Degree in Computer Applications from the Kentucky Advanced Technology Institute. He earned his Bachelors Degree in Computer Information Technology from Western Kentucky University in 2007. Bean will begin his Masters Degree work later this year at Western Governors University.
Bean started as a computer technician with the Larue County School District in 1997 before moving to the Allen County School District in 2000. He has served as a computer technician and, most recently, as Network Administrator.
After working behind the scenes for the past 12 years, Bean is looking forward to helping the district's students make the most of technology.
"I believe technology can engage students to learn like never before," Bean explained. "I believe students that would normally struggle, can excel in their studies with the use of technology."
Bean began his new position on July 1.

Want to show your support for preemies and have fun expressing your creativity at the same time? Austin's Hand to Hold and Painting With a Twist have organized the perfect opportunity to do both.
Sunday, May 1, 2011, Painting with a Twist hosts their monthly fundraiser, Painting with a Purpose, a fun, creative event in which attendees can flaunt their artistic talents and create a keepsake painting to take home, all while sipping a little wine and raising money for a local charity. This month's event will benefit Hand to Hold, a local non profit that provides resources and support for parents of preemies, babies born with special health care needs, and those who have experienced a loss due to these or other complications.
Learn more about Hand to Hold and how they support parents of preemies.
Painting with a Twist is a local franchise of Corks N Canvas, which was started in 2007 in Mandeville, Louisiana. With its founders formerly working in fundraising, the company and its franchises strive to be an active member of the community and focus on giving back. Once a month, all Corks N Canvas and Painting With a Twist locations host a fundraising event, Painting with a Purpose, in effort to raise money that will stay local in each market.
Registration for the event is $45, with a whopping half of that amount directly benefiting families affected by premature birth, special needs, and loss through Hand to Hold. The fee includes everything needed to paint your own version of the trendy Austin Motel on Congress Avenue. The studio will provide wine openers and cups, but attendees must bring their own wine if they wish to have a drink while painting.
Everyone is welcome, so invite friends and family to join you in an event that's sure to provide a change of pace and benefits a wonderful cause. No painting experience is necessary! For further questions, contact Babs Haller at email@example.com

While our cats and dogs are truly important figures in our families, not everyone is aware how very important pet healthcare and well visits are. Thus the Partners for Healthy Pets has launched a highly motivational print, digital, and Public Service Announcement-driven campaign that will put the importance of preventive pet healthcare and regular veterinary visits on the national stage.
Because they are motivated to advertise this campaign, you will most likely see print ads for the Partners for Healthy Pets displayed in some of our nation' most popular magazines, including:
· Real Simple
· People
· O the Oprah magazine
· Prevention
· Family Fun
· Every Day with Rachael Ray
The websites that will be blasting out the campaign will include:
· PedMD
· SheKnows
In addition to all of that, 15- and 30-second television commercials are running on networks and channels such as:
· FOX Sports
· Comcast
· The Travel Channel
· And the Food Network
The print and digital campaign features a cat and a dog, both wearing a "special care instructions" tag that reads "Feed Daily, Yearly Check-Ups, Love Forever". The advertisements highlight the responsibility that pet owners have to their pets' health and sends this message: "A yearly visit to your family vet is as essential as food and love. Make an appointment for an annual checkup today."
It is of utmost importance to check out these advertisements and not just ignore them. The pet industry has noticed that although many cat and dog owners are buying more 'things' and upgrading the food source and treats for their pets, that they are still failing to provide medical care for these same pets. Regular preventative health care visits can enhance the lives of your pets and possibly even prolong their life so that they are with you longer!
Pet parents play the key role in providing all needs for their beloved cats and dogs. Most veterinary services will work hand-in-hand with you in order to make certain that your cat or dog is medically provided for; perhaps setting up payment plans that are more affordable than a one-time pay situation.
It is truly important to thousands of veterinary professionals that your pets are cared for. Come join the people who have already committed to making a difference in the lives of their pets and the community who serves them.
What more could we want for the felines (and canines) that make our lives more wholesome and worth living for? Let's keep them around a long time by joining the Partners for Healthy Pets.

FIV-positive cats deserve forever homes and Furkids in metro Atlanta is helping make that a reality by waiving all adoption fees for their FIV-positive kitties and offering free medical care for one year. Click here for more information on this special promotion.
FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus - it is a virus that affects a cat's immune system. FIV weakens the immune system making them more vulnerable to other infections. However, FIV-positive cats can live safely with FIV-negative cats.
During this special promotion I will be featuring Furkids' FIV-positive kitties who are available for adoption. Today's featured cat is Mika - a three-year old female domestic short hair kitty. Here is a message that she posted on the Furkids' FIV House Facebook page recently:
Hello, my name is Mika and I am a sweet and loving tabico-colored girl. That means I am calico with tabby markings and I've heard people say that my coat is striking. I was rescued from Animal Control after nursing not only my babies, but another two litters. I was very tired when Furkids saved me as you can imagine. My foster home gave me a place to relax and build my strength back up. Now that all of the babies have gone on to their forever homes, it is my turn. I love people so much and cannot wait until I find my purr-fect match. I will let you know that I am FIV+, but I am healthy and it will not require much extra care. I am a quiet natured girl who won't cause any trouble and would be a wonderful addition to your home. Please apply to adopt me today!

If you want to access Bigdata from multiple JVM's you need to set up a Bigdata server. Use the NanoSparqlServer, and connect to that from your JVM's.

Meatless Mondays Good for Health, Good for Animals, Says Humane Society International
by Kathy Jones on September 14, 2012 at 8:35 PM Diet & Nutrition News - G J E 4
In an attempt to reduce amount of meat consumption, animal advocacy group Human Society International (HSI) has urged people to adopt a "Meatless Monday" campaign that could see people do away with meat consumption for at least one day in a week.
'Meatless Monday' began in the US during World War I and was revived in 2003 with backing from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Advertisement"For a world of reasons, Meatless Mondays makes good sense - good for animals, good for the environment, good for the long-range problems of food security, and good for our health," said HSI Farm Animal Welfare director Chetana Mirle.
Mirle was part of "Hunger for Action" - the second global conference on agriculture, food security and climate change that took place in Vietnam last week and was attended by other influential institutions such as the World Bank, the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization and governments from around the world.
"There should be consideration towards animal welfare issues related to intensive animal agricultural practices in formulating policy solutions to the challenges of agriculture, food security and climate change," said a statement issued by HSI.
The conference adopted as part of its outcomes the promotion of sustainable consumption as a way to reduce waste in the food chain.

Disease Proof
Crash the Ice Cream Truck?
The Diabetes Blog relays one interesting idea to help curb Type-2 diabetes—get those ice cream trucks off the road! Look:
Doris Paul from the Squamish Nation in Vancouver has one answer -- ban the ice cream truck. Her disdain for ice cream trucks has grown as she witnessed the soaring rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes in her nation's people and her own family. Ms. Paul's father was one of the biggest fans of the jingling bells, licking many an ice cream cone on hot summer days. A kid at heart, he generously bought ice cream for neighborhood children. But he died last year from diabetes complications, and Ms. Paul believes he never equated poor nutrition with his health problems. Ms. Paul's sister is also dealing with diabetes.Personally, I think it's a good idea. It might help impress upon kids that a hearty mixture of sugar and dairy is hardly healthy. Dr. Fuhrman is no fan of ice cream either—if you want sweet, try eating some fruit instead. From Eat to Live:
Ms. Paul's initiative to ban ice-cream trucks from three native communities on Vancouver's north shore was backed by the Nation's councillors. A mother of five, she also backed up her activism by eliminating junk food from her own pantry, replacing potato chips, soft drinks and ice cream with fruits and vegetables. Her family suffered for awhile, but now reports feeling healthier. A community garden is in the works.
Regrettably, our human desire for sweets is typically satisfied by the consumption of products containing sugar, such as candy bars and ice cream—not fresh fruit. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration estimates that the typical American now consumes an unbelievable 32 teaspoons of added sugar a day.1 That's right, in one day.1. Kantor, L.S. 1999. A dietary assessment of the U.S. food supply. Nutrition week 29 (3):4-5.
We need to satisfy our sweet tooth with fresh, natural fruits and other plant substances that supply us not just with carbohydrates for energy but also with the full complement of indispensable substances that prevent illness.

Following on its coverage of an expedition to Russia's northern coast that found methane deposits leaking through melting permafrost into the water and atmosphere, The Independent has news that a British expedition to the seas off the coast of Norway has discovered "hundreds of methane plumes". From the article:
The story notes that "It is likely that methane emissions off Svalbard have been continuous for about 15,000 years – since the last ice age." I think it is fascinating that these plumes have only just been discovered. This means the methane budget of the atmosphere is probably still quite poorly understood, even as it is clear new sources of methane are opening due to climate change.

Today's hurdle: Small boobies.
If the girls are not so big and you want to make them look a little more voluminous, go for ruffles and ruching around the bust. The upside? Small boobs can get away with the measly support of teeny bikini tops, so go for it!

2012 Athleta Iron Girl Event Series To Benefit Young Survival Coalition
Charity Raises Awareness About Breast Cancer in Young Women
TAMPA, Fla. (May 16, 2012) — Iron Girl is proud to announce that Young Survival Coalition (YSC) will be the official charity of the 2012 Athleta Iron Girl Event Series. At 14 events nationwide, ranging from run and walk events to duathlons and triathlons, Iron Girl will help to not only raise funds for the organization but also awareness that there are more than 250,000 women living in the U.S. today who were diagnosed with breast cancer before their 41st birthday.
"We are thrilled to support the efforts of the Young Survival Coalition," said Judy Molnar, Vice President of Iron Girl. "We've seen thousands of amazing women participate in our races, many who have battled breast cancer at a young age, and we are excited for the opportunity to make a difference in their lives."
As the official benefiting charity for the 2012 Athleta Iron Girl Event Series, YSC will actively engage with event participants around the country, educating communities that young women can and do get breast cancer. Participants in each of the Athleta Iron Girl events will have the option to raise funds and awareness for YSC through 2012.
Founded in 1998 by three young breast cancer survivors who were determined to make a difference in the lives of young women with breast cancer, YSC has helped thousands feel empowered as they face the disease. While most are aware of the devastating effects of breast cancer in general, many are unfamiliar with the statistics of the cancer in women under the age of 40.
- One in 20 women with breast cancer is under the age of 40 when diagnosed.
- One in eight women diagnosed with breast cancer is younger than 45 at the time of diagnosis.
- Breast cancer accounts for 26 percent of all cancer in women 15 to 39 years of age and 39 percent of all cancer in 35 to 39 year olds.
- Breast cancer in young women is generally more aggressive and has a lower survival rate.
"We are excited to be the official beneficiary of the 2012 Athleta Iron Girl Event Series," said Jennifer Merschdorf, CEO of YSC and breast cancer survivor. "The series shows a commitment to healthy, strong women who empower themselves to achieve their personal best through participation in these events. Working with Iron Girl will allow YSC to continue to generate awareness about the unique issues surrounding breast cancer in young women, while helping to raise important funds to provide resources, support and connections to young women impacted by the disease."
To learn more about the 2012 Athleta Iron Girl Event Series or to register for one of the events, visit www.IronGirl.com. Athletes interested in raising funds for YSC as a part of their race participation may visit www.irongirl.com/give_back. Media-related inquiries should be directed to Jessica Weidensall at email@example.com or Dana Griffin at firstname.lastname@example.com.
About Iron Girl
Launched in 2004 with just two races, the Iron Girl Event Series has grown to include 14 events nationwide, varying in distance from 5K to Half Marathon, duathlon and triathlon. With the mission of empowering women toward a healthy lifestyle, Iron Girl has celebrated finishers ranging in age from five to 89 years old with an average age of 38. Visit www.irongirl.com, a site filled with training tips, guest columnists and nutrition information, and www.irongirlshop.com, an online store that offers products and accessories to match the active lifestyle of women.
About Young Survival Coalition (YSC)
Established in 1998, Young Survival Coalition (YSC) was the first nonprofit organization to focus exclusively on the unique needs of young women affected by breast cancer. Founded by young survivors for young survivors, YSC began as a grassroots organization to advocate on behalf of all young women diagnosed with breast cancer to increase their quality and quantity of life. Based in New York City, with 23 affiliates nationwide, YSC today provides comprehensive resources, support and education to address every phase of a young woman's breast cancer experience. YSC is well known for its four national Tour de Pink rides for breast cancer; regional In Living Pink events; ResourceLink program; as well as educational materials such as its Newly Diagnosed Resource Kit (NDRK); Metastatic Navigator; and its Factor Series on topics such as fertility, genetics and breast reconstruction. It also co-presents the C4YW - Annual Conference for Young Women Affected by Breast Cancer. For more information or to make a donation, please visit: www.youngsurvival.org.

A Florida economic group's new logo has sparked an unintended gender debate among business leaders. Enterprise Florida has unveiled its new logo: the word "FLORIDA" written in green letters, picturing an orange necktie as the letter "I." The tag line reads, "The Perfect Climate For Business." But some female business leaders are calling the logo sexist, since neckties tend to be gender-specific. "It's clearly a strong visual that business and men go together," Susan Stackhouse, CEO of Stellar Partners Inc., told the Tampa Bay Business Journal. Sally Grant, a Sunrise, Fla., business owner, said the agency that works to lure new businesses to Florida might as well tack on "for men" to the new logo's tag line, "The perfect climate for business," the Sun Sentinel reports. — Feminists deem economic group's necktie logo 'sexist' – Washington Times
The group is unbowed:
Enterprise Florida Public Relations Manager Sean Helton disagrees, telling Fox 35 the company has no intentions of changing the logo.
"We feel confident in the brand, as a clear and effective message to both businesses in the state and worldwide, that Florida is a top destination for business," he said.
Which is a nice way of saying, "Suck it bitches, we are not changing anything!" Which is what they should have said in the first place. Idiot Femi-Nazis, I detest them with every fiber of my damned being. 😡

I purchased the handmade dress at a sample sale at Amsterdam's Bloomfeld Bridal : http://www.bloomfeld.nl/en/
The designer is an independent Dutch designer- she doesn't have a label. It is the only one in the world!
It has never been worn- except to try it on.
The dress itself has several layers of tulle with lace details, the bodice is sturdy and really holds every thing in. It is a high quality, beautiful gown. I fell in love with the dress and bought it before we decided on a beach wedding.
If you are interested, make an offer! I am very willing to negotiate.

James Bond's favourite carmaker, Aston Martin, announces a £150m investment as it plans to expand its model range.
13:25, UK, Friday 07 December 2012
Investindustrial has become a major shareholder in Aston Martin after buying a 37.5% stake of the business.
The Italian private equity fund will inject £150m into the luxury carmaker, which is hoping to expand its model range and strengthen the dealership network around the world.
The British company, which is owned by owned by Kuwait's The Investment Dar, said the value of the group was now £780m, compared with £630m prior to the deal.
Aston Martin's chairman David Richards said he was delighted with the investment by Investindustrial, which used to own Italian motorcycle maker Ducati.
"Investindustrial's new investment reflects and sustains the unique position of Aston Martin within the industry," he said.
"With this partnership and the continued commitment of The Investment Dar, we look forward to working with our shareholders as we realise our vision and exciting future plans."
Andrea Bonomi, senior principal at Investindustrial, added: "We are delighted to form part of this iconic global, but quintessentially British brand.
"We are looking forward to working with the management and Investment Dar to achieve a similar transformation and rejuvenation that we achieved with Ducati."
The 99-year-old carmaker - famous for its starring role in James Bond films - said it plans to invest more than half a billion pounds in its new product and technology programme over the next five years.
It added that production will remain at its global headquarters at Gaydon, Warwickshire, which currently employs a workforce of 1600 employees.
The deal comes after weeks of speculation over which investor would buy a chunk of the iconic car company.
Investindustrial beat Indian tractor maker Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M) to invest - despite M&M reportedly offering more than £250m for a stake of up to 50% in the sports car brand.
The maker of the DB9 and Vanquish sportscars has struggled over recent years, as the global economic downturn hits sales.
Last week, Aston Martin said it had sold 2,340 cars in the year to the end of September – down 19% on the year before.

If my camera is shooting in 10.0 or 12.0...what will my megapixels be? I am a beginner and I know I need them to be at least 1600x1200 for my purpose.
1600x1200 requires only 2 megapixels, as @coneslayer mentioned in his comment.
Anything above that in number of megapixels will be enough. Most cameras call that resolution, image size or simply megapixels.
There is also often a quality setting which does not affect the number of megapixels but the image compression. This basically works by removing details from those megapixels to make the image smaller in terms of storage.
If your settings went down to 2 MP, which is what you need then I suggest you use the highest quality setting. If your camera gives you, the choice of 12, 10 or 8 (let's say), then it does not really matter for your purpose.
Remember that once you reduce resolution or quality in-camera, there is no way to get any back. So, unless storage is tight, shoot at the highest resolution and quality and then use software to size the image as needed. All image software can do that and many can do it in batch on export or publication. For example, Google Picasa lets you choose the size at which to send images to Picasaweb.

College Hockey:McFeeters' Offense, Tough Defense Carry Clarkson
Golden Knights Drop Princeton
POTSDAM, N.Y. — Clarkson scored four goals in the first period and never looked back, as the Golden Knights' tough defense allowed one goal in a 6-1 win over Princeton in front of 2,957 fans at Cheel Arena on Saturday afternoon.
Freshman Rob McFeeters capped off a stellar weekend of play, picking up two goals and an assist in the game to bring his weekend point total to five. Marc Garceau, Matt Poapst and Don Smith each had a goal and an assist in the contest.
"We had an outburst in the early going and it took [Princeton] out of the game," said Clarkson coach Mark Morris. "Our guys gained confidence as the game wore on. We expected them to be sharp especially after last night's performance, but the early goals defused their offense."
Clarkson wasted little time in getting on the score sheet, picking up where they left off from the night before. Garceau broke the scoreless tie just 5:06 into the first period, when he recovered a rebound from goaltender Nate Nomeland and shot it high into the net, giving the Golden Knights a 1-0 lead.
A little over a minute later, Tristan Lush got the second goal of the game when he took a rebound off a Chris Bahen shot and put it low on the left side of Nomeland.
The Golden Knights showed little sign of letting up, as the third goal of the period came at the 9:46 mark. McFeeters had taken the original shot, and the puck bounced off of Nomeland and out to Poapst. Poapst took the shot down low in front of the goal and beat Nomeland, making it a 3-0 game.
The fourth goal of the period came with just over a minute left as McFeeters got his first goal of the game. Kevin O'Flaherty passed the puck from behind Nomeland to McFeeters, and McFeeters was able to beat the netminder to put Clarkson ahead 4-0.
Things settled down in the second period as Princeton began to generate some offensive chances while fighting off the Clarkson attack. However, Clarkson scored the lone goal of the period at the 16:03 mark.
Don Smith dropped the puck for Garceau as he skated into the zone. Garceau skated along the left side of the ice and then centered the puck back to Smith, who was able to beat Nomeland before he was able to close the five-hole, making the score 5-0.
In the third period, McFeeters picked up the lone Clarkson goal, as he put the rebound of a Poapst shot past Nomeland to give the Golden Knights a commanding 6-0 lead.
Princeton picked up its only goal of the evening at the 8:42 mark of the third frame. Kirk Lamb had the puck low along the boards and skated toward the net. He took a floating shot that beat goaltender Mike Walsh between the post and his right arm.
Unlike the night before for Clarkson, the game was riddled with penalties, 10 called against the Golden Knights and 11 against the Tigers. Neither team capitalized on the man advantage, as both teams went 0-for-7. Princeton could not capitalize on a 5-on-3 opportunity it had late in the game.
With the lone Princeton goal, the Tigers snapped any chance for Mike Walsh to pick up his second shutout in a row. Going back to the St. Lawrence game on Tuesday, Walsh had played a total of 112 minutes, 12 seconds without allowing a goal. On the night, Walsh turned aside 21 shots, while Nomeland allowed six goals and stopped 25 shots.
Next week, Princeton will host the Central New York combination of Cornell and Colgate, while Clarkson will play host to Capital District foes Union and Rensselaer.

HTC Magic / G2 with 5MP camera and T-Mobile branding approved by FCC
A version of HTC Magic, with T-Mobile's logo on it, has just been approved by the FCC, which probably means T-Mo USA will release the Android smartphone sometime later this year.
Also known as HTC Sapphire, HTC Magic may be introduced by the fourth largest North American carrier under the name of T-Mobile G2 – but this is not yet confirmed.
Well, regardless of how it will be called, it does look better than the G1, doesn't it?
Interestingly, this HTC Magic appears as featuring a 5 Megapixel camera, unlike Vodafone's HTC Magic and the G2 that appeared back in January (they both have 3.2MP cameras).
Now Android fans can only hope that T-Mo USA will announce the Magic / G2 soon.

Ghost Hunters 10th season premiere featured Gettysburg, Pa. locations
By Jeffrey B. Roth
GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Mark Nesbitt, author of the Ghosts of Gettysburg book series, and of other paranormal topics, was the go-to guy when the SyFy network program, Ghost Hunters came to Gettysburg to conduct investigations. The SyFy network paranormal team, Ghost Hunters, spent several days investigating Gettysburg locations – the Jennie Wade House, the Farnsworth House, a portion of the battlefield and the Haunted Orphanage, (Homestead Orphanage), in late last September.
The premiere episode of the 10th season of Ghost Hunters, featured investigations and from all four locations. Dwayne Pope, a tour guide, with Ghostly Images, who worked with the television production team. Ghostly Images, of Gettysburg Ghost Tours, owns both the Jennie Wade and Homestead Orphanage locations.
"They've never been here before," Pope said. "The production crew were there for about a week. Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango were there for two days. They investigated the Cashtown Inn a couple of years ago."
Gettysburg, Pope said, is considered to be one of the most haunted towns in the U.S. About two years ago, Haunted History, a production of the History 2 network, (H2), investigated both locations. That episode aired last season.
Gettysburg paranormal expert and author, Mark Nesbitt, was contacted by Ghost Hunters alerting him that they intended to do investigations in town. Nesbitt met the Ghost Hunter team about 6 years ago in a conference held in Richmond, Va.
"Are there any child spirits remaining in Gettysburg and why?" Nesbitt said, explaining that was the focus they intended for the episode. "I had done an investigation of the Jennie Wade House and Farnsworth House in 1991 with Karyol Kirkpatrick, (psychic who had been on Maury Povich), and DJs Cooke and Crockett for a Halloween Special. Evidence from the Wade House was that there was an 'unfinished mourning' going on, (Kirkpatrick's very first impression). We went through the house and as we were leaving the basement the chain between the visitor's area and the body on the table began to swing when no one was near it. Karyol said, 'Oh, that's Jennie's father.' It suddenly dawned on me that he had been incarcerated when she was killed and indeed could not properly mourn."
The Jennie Wade House, named after the only civilian to die during the Battle of Gettysburg, was named by the Travel Channel as the sixth most haunted house in America and the most haunted building in Gettysburg," Pope said. "The Jennie Wade House has been featured on Ghost Adventures, Ghost Lab, Ghost Finders, Most Haunted Live, Haunted History on the History 2 Network, CBS Radio and a local television station, WPMT Fox 43. Visitors to the Jennie Wade House have experienced items in the home moving inexplicably, noises, footsteps, orbs, voices, the scent of bread baking in the kitchen and full body apparitions. Reports of unexplained activity are shared on a nearly daily basis."
The orphanage was named in an article featured in the USA Today, as one of the top ten creepiest places in the United States to visit, Pope said. The orphanage has also played host to Ghost Adventures, Ghost Lab, Ghost Finders, Haunted History on the History 2 Network, CBS Radio and local television station WPMT Fox 43.
"I investigated the Homestead Orphanage, (Soldiers' National Museum),with a Canadian film crew several years back, before it was 'haunted,'" Nesbitt said. "I read off the names of some of the orphans and got some answers via electronic voice phenomena (EVP). Jason and Steve brought some pretty good evidence to me. The figure they caught on the FLIR camera was impressive. You couldn't see it very well on TV but it seemed to partially float, (no obvious leg movement), at first. They tried to debunk it, (good technique), with a living person and the results were obviously different. The other visual evidence was a shadow that appeared that looked immediately to me like a hoop skirt, (though, once again, I couldn't see it on TV). There were a couple of noises that did sound like voices, (not EVP because they heard them live), and I heard them too. But there were a couple they had recorded, but I heard nothing and so they were left out of the show. All in all I was impressed with most of what they got, the EVP and video more that actual sounds that they heard and recorded because, as you know, on Baltimore Street it can get pretty noisy outside--people going by, trucks, etc."
"Visitors to the orphanage also share their experiences, including but not limited to items moving, noises, voices of children, toys in the cellar being moved around, orbs, foul odors and full body apparitions of children," Pope said. "These unexplained phenomena are also reported on a nearly daily basis."
Last year Nesbitt published Civil War Ghost Trails, (Stackpole Publishers), about all the major battlefields and he's working with Katherine Ramsland, expert on forensics, former consultant on "CSI" and "Bones" doing the second in the series called "Haunted Crime Scenes."
"We started our own 'Second Chance Publications' and are publishing my own stuff," Nesbitt said. "I'm also doing paranormal investigation weekends with the Cashtown Inn and James Gettys Hotel."
In 1866, the National Homestead at Gettysburg, was opened as an orphanage and a home for widows. Located on Baltimore Street, adjacent to Cemetery Hill. It was founded to honor Amos Humiston, a Union sergeant with New York 154th Regiment, known as the "Hardtack" regiment, who was killed on the first day of the battle, July 1, 1863. About a week later, near York and Stratton streets, Humiston's body was discovered. Grasped in his hand was an ambrotype, an early type of photograph, depicting his three children – Frank, 8; Alice, 6; and Freddie, 4.
A Philadelphia physician, Dr. John Francis Bourns, tried to identify Humiston's body. During the Civil War, soldiers were not issued dog tags as they are today. As a result of the publicity, some time in mid-November, Hunston was identified. As a result of the publicity, Bourns was able to raise money to found the orphanage for the children of Union soldiers, killed during the war.
Within 12 years of its opening, the orphanage closed as a result of a scandal involving allegations that the orphanage matron, Rosa Carmichael, allegedly abused children. According to news coverage of the day, Carmichael had created a dungeon in the basement, where she shackled some children. Bourns, who was responsible for founding the orphanage, was also accused of embezzling a large amount of funds from the Homestead, according to historical records.
In connection with the Ghost Hunters investigation, operators of both buildings are offering combination tours. The tours will be available, on Saturdays, beginning January 25 and running through March 1. The price is $13 per person.

Even as the tornado ravaged Mayflower Arkansas on Sunday evening, April 28, the members of the American Taekwondo Association (ATA) began showing why they are often heard saying they are "ATA STRONG!" Less than 12 hours after the tornado struck, the call went out across the "ATA Nation" to gather help for those impacted by the F3 Tornado that destroyed a major section of Mayflower, a town just 20 minutes north of the Little Rock Headquarters of the ATA. The effort to reach out and help others is nothing new to the members of the ATA, an organization that consistently shows the world what it means to be a martial artist today.
Collections are being organized and executed with great speed in schools across the country. Aid efforts are being reported in locations from Seattle Washington to Miami Florida. All of these efforts are being organized by the owners and families of an ATA school with the resulting materials and supplies being targeted for shipment to Arkansas ATA Martial Arts and other schools in the immediate vicinity of the devastation. Collections include monetary donations to the Red Cross, hygiene supplies, clothing, trash bags and even children's toys and items.
American Taekwondo Association schools all over the nation are rallying to help those who have had their lives impacted by the tornado in Mayflower. From individual schools such as Coffrin's ATA Martial Arts in Bloomington Illinois to groups of schools working in cooperation like the Central Indiana ATA Martial Arts Schools, the ATA family is working hard to extend a helping hand. As suddenly as the tornado struck, the members of the ATA are striking back to help rebuild what has been lost. The effort and the widespread nature of the support shows the power and level of caring that helps define the membership of the American Taekwondo Association.

From the beginning of time, men and women have been treated and viewed as vastly different. While there are large numbers of people of both sexes who argue that everyone is already treated equally, these differences are clearly exemplified in the household, job front and particularly, the media. No matter what your view on the ongoing fight for equality amongst the sexes, we can all agree on one thing: objectification of sex still plays a tremendous role in the media.
Commercialization especially, thrives on the portrayal of scantily dressed, young beautiful women, who lend their bodies in order to market a product. This "marketing technique" can be seen at almost any time of the day, ranging from cartoon networks to news stations. Men also deal with their share of pressuring advertisements, such as Axe or "personal enlargement" pills. However, these commercials have one important factor in common with the previous issue; with the end of these painful advertisements, comes the unspoken promise of a socially approved beauty.
Sex of course is not the only degrading use of female models in advertising. If you ever feel like performing an experiment, try sitting at home from noon to four one day during the week, and watch daytime TV. During a commercial break, pay close attention to the advertisements during this period. Due to the numbers of women who work at home with children, and have household responsibilities, there are literally hundreds of commercials on during this time to market cleaning products etc.
This could be considered appropriate due to the previously mentioned household responsibilities, however, in nearly every single one of these commercials, there is some 1950`s looking housewife cleaning the kitchen, children `s room, bathroom etc. Now here we are in 2010, two years after having been closer to electing a female president, then ever before and the bottom line is: we have clearly come a long way past this "good wife, good house keeper" mentality.
Until men stop feeding into this blatant objectification and women stop using their bodies in order to sell and make money, men and women will never be viewed as equal in this world. Men will continue to dominate, and it will prove to continue this current trend of degradation, unequal pay, and general lack of equivalent respect amongst the sexes.
