Get Your Files Converted Today!
Expand Your Audience With eBooks
eBooks are becoming a popular method of distributing books to new readers. By mid-2014 half of all books being sold will be eBooks. Bowker has teamed up with Data Conversion Laboratory to help you navigate through the process of creating a professional quality eBooks that can be read by all devices.
What you get
When you use the Bowker conversion services, you receive files formatted in either MOBI, EPUB or both. MOBI files are formatted to be used on Kindle eReaders. EPUB files are formatted to be used on Apple iBooks, BN Nook, and is being promoted by the publishing industry to be the standard format for eBooks. To maximize both your savings and your market reach, we recommend selecting both MOBI and EPUB.
Your MOBI and EPUB files will go through a variety of quality checks to insure the results match your expectations in formatting and quality. This insures customer satisfaction from you, to your customers.
The cost of producing an eBook is based upon the complexity and size of the project. Keep in mind that we do not simply run a script to convert your files. We put your PDF through multiple phases to insure that the files you receive have gone through rigorous quality assurance testing.
As you see below, each format is significantly less expensive when you purchase two formats. If you are thinking that you want your book on the Kindle as well as the Nook and iPad, then you will need both formats. Purchasing both eBook formats upfront will save you money.
Frequently Asked QuestionsI have my converted files, now how do I start selling them?
Bowker has joined forces with Vook to provide distribution for your eBooks.
We distribute your ebooks on your behalf, help you manage your titles in each storefront you choose to distribute to. Vook handles the royalty collection, accounting, sales tracking and payment. Vook can publish your ebook through our account with you or your company listed as the seller-of-record, or we can list Vook as the seller-of-record.

I have purchased a conversion on MyIdentifiers in the past, where can I find it?
Bowker will save your converted files for as long as you have an active MyIdentifiers.com account, in the event that you lose them (for example in the case of a crashed hard drive). To find them, follow these steps:
- Log into MyIdentifiers.com
- Mouseover My Account and select Manage Subscriptions
- Click the "eBook Conversion" link.
At this point, you will be able to download any of your converted files.
What is MOBI?
Short for Mobipocket e-book format, and is used on the Amazon Kindle device.
What is EPUB?
The EPUB is a popular vendor-independent XML-based e-book format. EPUBs can be read at least by primary eReaders, such as: Kobo eReader, Apple's iBooks, Barnes and Noble Nook, and the Sony Reader.
What format do I need my document to be in?
In order to have your file converted, you need to provide your file in a readable PDF, MS Word, InDesign, or HTML document. The text must be readable, and searched as text, and not an image.
The file needs to have all protections removed, otherwise we will not be able to open the file and work with it.
If you have a Word Document, contact us at email@example.com and someone will be happy to convert it to a PDF for you, so that you may then upload it into the process.
Are there limitations to what you will convert at your listed prices?
At the listed prices, we are only providing you these services for projects that are of Low or Medium Complexity. At the price provided, we cannot offer this to heavy formatting, lists, tables, question/answers, math, block quotes, boxed text, and sidebars. For more details, see the descriptions to the right.
If you believe you have a complex project, contact us at: firstname.lastname@example.com. Explain which formats (EPUB, MOBI) you are looking for, a PDF of your manuscript, and we will be happy to provide you with a quote.
Can I get the discounted price if I purchase both formats separately?
Sorry, we can only offer this price upfront, as much of the savings is related to not needing to repeat work. Because we can create certain efficiencies in this process, we can do two formats of the same book at a discount. However, we cannot offer the difference at a later date.
What is an eISBN? Do I need one for my eBook?
There is no such thing as an eISBN. ISBNs are the same type of number, whether your book is a printed or an eBook.
Your eBooks may require ISBNs. The industry standard is that if your book differs enough to change the end user's experience, the ISBNs in the supply chain need to be unique. For example, you would need an ISBN for an EPUB, and a different ISBN for a MOBI, and a different ISBN for a softback book, and a different ISBN for a hardback book.
If you have a new edition, then you would need ISBNs for those as well.
Why can't I just use free EPUB conversion software to convert my files?
You can — but we have found that when authors try to use one of the free EPUB conversion software packages available on the internet, and submit them, they almost always fail the retailers' EPUB quality control tests. It often ends up costing more time and money than you expect.
Will my eBook look exactly like the book I upload?
For the maximum extensibility and compatibility of an ebook it needs to use re-flowable text and that there is no set "page." Users of an eReader can customize their reading experience by changing fonts, font size, margins, and justification based on their reading preferences and on the screen size of the device. Because of this, we want to convert your eBook so that it looks good on all devices, and in color vs. black/white.
Different readers support different formatting, so your book will look different on the different reader devices, and even when using two different reading applications on the same device.
How can I make changes to my eBook?
You can make unlimited changes prior to the conversion. You can edit anything contained in the book as long as it is documented clearly on what changes you are requesting for the eBook.
After conversion, you can still make changes but you may incur change fees.
Can Bowker convert books in non-English languages?
Yes. Some languages like Spanish and French do not incur additional charges, but other languages like Chinese do.
Please note: We do not translate any of your text for you. If you'd like to distribute an eBook in two or more languages you will have to send them separately as two separate conversions.
Where Do I Start?
Click Here to get your books converted to EPUB, MOBI or both, in order to start selling your books via Kindle, Nook, iBooks and more!

If years of lazy hazy crazy days of summer have left their marks on your gorgeous face in the form of sun damage, then Winter is the time to erase years from your face with brightening treatments to repair and rejuvenate sun damaged skin.
IPL, or intense pulsed light therapy, is one of the more effective ways to remove dark spots and hyper pigmented lesions. A laser technician zaps the dark spots which become red and the eventually darken before they flake off and disappear. The downtime can be usually one week of special care taken, but the results of a brighter, more even complexion are worth it.
MURAD's new Rapid age spot and pigment lightening serum is a great way to get results at home. Applied nightly, results are visible within a week or so.
Hyper pigmentation, often caused by sun damaged and hormonal shifts, can wreak havoc on the most beautiful skin. Regular care and prevention, including the skin care staple of sunscreen, even in winter, can help keep complexions even and skin bright.

The MBA's Duncan says the passage of time adds another
risk factor. People are most likely to default on their mortgages
three to five years after getting the loan. It's now about three-and-a-half
years after the beginning of the refi boom, and Duncan expects delinquencies
and foreclosures to rise modestly over the next few years.
Appreciation holds problems
at bay
Why only a modest rise? Because in many parts of the country, home
prices have risen dramatically. In the last five years, average
home values have more than doubled in six states, according to the
Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, and the national
average shows a 57 percent gain over that time. Price appreciation
gives strapped homeowners the financial room to fix up their homes,
sell them, retire their mortgages, pay real estate commissions and
On the other hand, when house prices are static,
some people can't afford to sell their homes, because the proceeds
from the sale aren't enough to pay off the mortgage and cover commissions
and moving expenses. The states with the most homes in foreclosure
are cursed with slow price appreciation, as well as the loss of
higher-paying manufacturing jobs. That list includes Michigan, Ohio
and Indiana, the three states with the slowest price appreciation
(under 4.25 percent) in the last year, according to the OFHEO.
Finally, any report about mortgage delinquencies
and foreclosures has to take Hurricane Katrina into account. Picture
again that town with 10,000 houses -- that microcosm of the whole country. Nine or 10 of the homeowners are behind on
their payments because of Katrina. Some await insurance settlements;
some are jobless. By Duncan's reckoning, those people would be current
on their mortgages now if Katrina hadn't hit, and the national delinquency
rate would have been 4.31 percent in the first quarter of this year
-- exactly the same rate as the first quarter of 2005.
And if Katrina hadn't happened, the foreclosure rate
would be higher -- 0.99 percent instead of 0.98 percent -- because
forbearance programs protect homeowners who were hammered by the
hurricane. Eventually, some of those people will lose what's left
of their homes to foreclosure.
The hurricane's effect on homeowners can be seen
when you compare
delinquency rates in Louisiana and Mississippi with their northern
neighbors. In the first quarter of 2006, the delinquency rate in
Louisiana was 13.73 percent, and in Arkansas it was 4.37 percent.
In Mississippi, the delinquency rate was 12.86 percent, compared
to 5.67 percent in Tennessee.

mortgage delinquencies."

Baby, it's cold outside. Well, at least for a few weeks a year when Hotlanta turns into Hothlanta, aka a frozen tundra. Exposure to the elements is much higher when you're riding public transportation with walking outdoors and waiting on trains and buses. As any seasoned rider will tell you, dressing for the elements is key, but there are some other hacks that can help heat you up while on the go.
See these five tips to stay warm to keep your commute smart and not full of shivers.
Bundle Up
To start with the most obvious, don't be shy with hats, gloves, scarves and layers. As much as no one wants or expects train or bus delays, they do happen, and you don't want to be waiting outside for long without enough winter-weather gear. If you need some supplies, there is a CVS above the Five Points and Peachtree Center stations. And Lenox Mall is just across the street from the Lenox MARTA station.
Check schedules
Now is the time to check bus and train schedules online or even better, use the MARTA on the Go app to get real-time arrivals to know what time MARTA will arrive so you can wait indoors as long as possible (or plan your drive to a MARTA station accordingly). See MARTA Trip Planning Options for additional help.
Warm up with a hot drink
Drinking hot tea, coffee or hot chocolate can help stave off the cold-weather chill. There are a few restaurants and coffee shops near MARTA, including Sip, which can't get much closer to the Lindbergh Center MARTA station. Other picks are Starbucks (Peachtree Center), Waffle House (Georgia State and Brookhaven) and Java Monkey (Decatur).
Hang out in heated places
If you have extra time on your hands, head to a heated public space to stay warm. The CNN building has a large food court next to the Dome Station (pictured here). Directly connected to the Peachtree Center and North Avenue stations you'll also find malls. And if Snow Jam or Snow Apocalypse happens again and you get stuck on the road, find a hotel near MARTA.
Rethink your commute when the weather turns cold
If possible, try to change your commute to reduce your time outdoors. Can you ask a friend or family member for a ride for part of your trip? Use ZipCar or Uber? Hold off errands that require a longer commute? If waiting for transit is a necessity, be sure to look for sheltered areas to stay out of the wind.

DoCoMo's NEC MEDIAS N-04C with Android seems to be the thinnest smartphone ever
Since Apple launched the iPhone 4 in June last year as the world's thinnest smartphone, we've seen two other smartphones which stole that title: the LG Optimus Black (9.2 mm), and the Samsung Galaxy S II (8.5 mm).
Now NEC is getting ready to launch an even thinner handset: the MEDIAS N-04C, made for NTT DoCoMo, Japan's largest mobile carrier.
The N-04C is only 7.7 mm thick, and I doubt we'll see a smartphone thinner than that in the near future.
Running Android 2.2 Froyo, the new NEC MEDIAS N-04C features a 4 inch WVGA touchscreen display, NFC, and 1Seg TV tuner. It should be released in Japan later this week, for an unknown price. Unfortunately, NEC probably has no plans to launch the handset outside its home country.

Does Depression Kill Your Heart?
by Dr. Nithin Jayan on May 27, 2011 at 1:55 PM Health In Focus - G J E 4
Whether depression is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease is a million dollar question that has remained unanswered.
There is enough evidence to associate depression and heart disease however it is still not been given the weightage it deserves to be called a risk factor. Despite the strong evidence the field is still being actively explored.
AdvertisementMental disorders and coronary heart disease are significant public health issues that add up to the global disease burden. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study estimates the premature mortality and disability of all major diseases and injuries. A GBD study undertaken in 2001 showed that the psychiatric condition called unipolar depressive disorders as the third leading cause of disease burden. Ischemic heart disease Coronary heart disease (CHD) or coronary artery disease is a narrowing of the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. CHD is also, a condition where the blood supply of the heart muscles get compromised, ranked fourth globally and second in high and middle-income countries in terms of global disease burden.
The links between mental disorders and cardiovascular disease have been investigated for many decades. Depression has various direct and indirect biological effects which may explain its link with cardiovascular disease. A number of behavioral pathways have also been identified in the link between mental disorders and cardiovascular disease.
The following are some of the factors that support the behavioral pathways:
Patients who suffer from a mental disorder are less likely to adopt a healthy lifestyle or to reduce cardiovascular risk factors.
Physical activity and diet control are less frequently undertaken and smoking and alcohol consumption rates are often higher.
Obesity has been strongly associated with both cardiovascular disease and mental disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder and panic disorder.
Adherence to treatment is often less in depressed patients compared to non-depressed patients.
Depressed patients are known to access social services less frequently and insufficient social support has been strongly linked to the development of cardiovascular disease.
CHD is a broadly defined term. It is known that the association is stronger with MI, i.e. Myocardial Infarction (heart attack). The latest article published in Biomed Central, an authentic publisher of open access journals, explores deeper into the associations.
Authors claim that, 'there is sufficient evidence to recommend that Burden of Disease estimates should include MDD as a risk factor for CHD, and this evidence is strongest for CHD resulting in MI'.
Further research is called upon to clarify the nature of this relationship. It is vital however that further awareness is raised about major depression as a risk factor for CHD. The authors appeal for the inclusion of major depression as a risk factor for CHD in the 2010 GBD study.

Introducing The Sedge Island Melonseed Skiff
Sedge Island Skiffs is a boat building and boat repair company serving in Central and Southern New Jersey, fully insured and registered with the United States Coast Guard. New Jersey has a rich maritime history,and Sedge Island Skiffs honors this by focusing on building indigenous New Jersey small craft. Currently I am building my version of The Melonseed Skiff. A small 1880's duck hunting boat designed for the open waters of New Jersey's bays.
In recent years The Melonseed Skiff has become the favorite of many small boat sailors across the USA. The lines of this boat are absolutely beautiful and distinctive. What sets the Sedge Island Melonseed Skiff apart is that she is built using modern techniques and materials and has a high level of finish. I also exclusively use local Jersey White Cedar for the hull. A wood prized among boat builders for its light weight, strength and resistance to rot. I have made some common sense refinements to the original design that simply are not available on other versions of this boat. These careful refinements were made to enhance the design while retaining the original beauty and character of the original Which makes her much more enjoyable to sail.
In addition to building boats Sedge Island Skiffs also does repairs on wood or fiberglass boats, from covering boards and teak decks to interior remodeling and custom woodworking. Sedge Island Skiffs has over 21 years of experience in the professional boat building industry.

Hernandez getting right down to work
CORAL GABLES – Hurricanes acting athletic director Tony Hernandez, who was named to his new position Thursday, said he has spoken to his former AD Kirby Hocutt and expects him to stay a couple of more weeks.
"Kirby's got a couple of assignments he's still working on that I'm well aware of," Hernandez said. "Him and I are meeting next week to start going through that process. Kirby and I have a great working relationship, so I'm assuming we'll work hand-in-hand. Once he departs for Lubbock [TX.], then I'll take over in a more official capacity."
Hernandez said his first real task as acting AD will be the ACC athletic directors' meetings next week. He's already working, though.
Hernandez said he received an email from Yankees officials Thursday morning and is picking up Hocutt's effort to secure a UM football game there in 2013. He added he should know more next week.
As for the future of men's basketball coach Frank Haith, Hernandez reiterated Hocutt's stance that Haith will definitely be back next season.
"We have complete faith in Frank," Hernandez said. "I can tell you with all certainty Frank Haith will be our coach next year."
Hernandez said he hasn't yet decided whether he will make himself a candidate for the permanent AD position.
"Is it something I'm interested in? Yes. Have I applied for it or put my name out there? Not yet," he said.
UM said Thursday it expects to make a full-time hire by fall. It is just now starting to assemble a list of possible candidates.
"I'm honored that [UM] president [Donna] Shalala gave me the opportunity to lead the department through the transition over the next few months," said Hernandez, who now oversees about 150 staff members, about three times as many as deputy AD, the position he had previously held since August.
Hernandez began working at UM 13 years ago as a graduate assistant while he was in law school. He currently teaches an undergraduate sports law class. Hernandez moved from Pasadena, Calif., to South Florida in 1983 when he was 8 years old. A lifelong 'Canes fan, he received his undergraduate degree from UM, as did his wife, Melissa.

With two-time All American defenseman Brodie Merrill leading the way, learn about proper slide techniques and tips from one of the game's most heralded defenders. Merrill walks through each scenario with you before putting on the pads and simulating the defensive techniques at full speed on the lacrosse field.
Sliding Overview
Although often overlooked, defensive slides are absolutely critical to a team's overall success. Slides are all about communication, being on the same page as your teammates, being up-field from your opponent, having your head on a swivel, and having your stick and body in the right positions. Let's run through a typical slide scenario.
If the ball is behind the goal with an attackman and you are guarding a man in the crease, you are the first slide. Therefore, you need to make sure your head is on a swivel and that you have your stick on your opponent lightly to get a feel of where they are.
If the defender has been beat, you need to slide and take a good angle, get your stick up-field from your man, break down, and get nice and low. At this point, you have two options. First, you could tell your fellow defender to stay and double the ball. The second option is to say, "Find One." That defender will then retreat to the crease and bump that second slide back to his man, and you are all even again.
Check out some examples below of proper slides in action.
Sliding Adjacent
An adjacent slide usually occurs when there is no one in the crease. In this scenario, the nearest man must slide to the attacker that beats our defender.
In the video example below, Merrill is the "HOT" man. First, it's key to be above GLE. Also, your fellow defender wants to be taking away the top side and force the offensive player inside.
Why inside? Well, if the player gets beats by the attackman, he will ONLY get beat into the help. Therefore with the adjacent slide, you will have to slide cross-crease while your fellow midfielder is sliding down to help on the backside. Remember to lead with the stick and follow with the body. Get as low as you can and power through.
Take a look at a few examples in the video clip below.
The previous clips can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "Brodie Merrill's 'Defensive Player of the Year' Skills and Drills." To check out more videos focusing on defense, click here.
Add these effective shooting drills to your practice plan this season and watch your offense really take flight. Franklin & Marshall head women's lacrosse coach Mike Faith breaks down each drill for you on a whiteboard before having his squad go through them at full speed out on the practice field.
Spider Shooting Drill
Coach Faith's squad spends up to 20 minutes per day working on shooting alone. This particular drill is always at the top of the list. With no goalie in net, the focus here is squarely on shooters working on mechanics and getting in a ton of reps. The more reps you can get, the better. Eventually, we'll get into drills that help with accuracy, but the key now is to focus on shooting form and getting his hips, shoulders, and legs into every shot.
How it works: Two players will go at the same time. One coach will be feeding a player for a right-handed shot while another coach will be feeding a second player for a left-handed shot.
Each coach will toss a ball out. Players will catch it, step, and shoot. In the video, notice the position of the cones. These cones will help you stay even with the goal. Also, while the players are shooting, remind them to keep that front shoulder pointing in towards the goal. This helps keep them in line with the net and leads to higher accuracy.
Shooting Shuttle
Once again, the focus here is on how the players turns their hips, shoulders, and get their legs into each shot. Although a different drill, we're using the same concepts as the Spider Drill. Now, essentially, the players will be doing it on a line.
How it works: Players will split up into two different lines facing one another. Two players will go at a time. The drill begins as one player will pass across to the other. While on the run, that player will catch the pass, come across the designated line, and shoot on the move. The action goes back and forth between left and right-handed shots.
The drill really helps keep the shoulders locked. You always get the feel of the legs getting into each shot and not just using the arms.
Goal Line Extended Drill
This final drill is helpful towards learning how to shoot around a defender. You can really get creative with your stickwork and shooting as well.
First, you must learn how to shoot on the GLE and shoot accurately on an empty net. This is a chance to get a feel of where the ball should be in the stick. Also, try to really work on extending your stick and imagine shooting around a defender.
How it works: Players go one at a time and start just behind the GLE. Each player will extend their stick out towards the field and shoot on cage from there. Be sure to get a lot of reps and try to snap the wrist on each release.
Tip: Coaches should look to place their stick out so that shooters don't release with a side arm motion. They will be forced to adapt and shoot under your stick.
Finally, place a coach or manager at a designated spot on the field and have the players sprint out and around them before shooting on net. By shooting around a defender, this replicates game situations and gets players shooting differently each time.

Looking to be a difference-maker at the face-off X this season? Follow along with Syracuse assistant men's lacrosse coach Kevin Donahue as he breaks down proper hand and foot placement when it comes to face-offs. These must-have tips and techniques will go a long way towards improving your fundamentals as you look to make strides in your face-off play.
Hand Placement
First, your top hand should be as high as the rules allow you to get. The further up you can get, the better (and obviously playing within the rules of the game). This is where the force is going to come from. If you are down lower, you will lose a lot of leverage.
Eventually you have to make a decision about which grip to use. Do you go with a regular grip or a reverse/motorcycle grip? Well, both have advantages. For instance, the reverse grip can be quite effective, but it limits what other moves you can use. Meanwhile, the regular grip allows you to have more counters and helps disguise what you are doing a little more.
All the while, your left hand is really important and don't use it effectively enough. Where you place your left hand depends on which move you are going to do.
*Now follow closely as Coach Donahue provides some examples of proper hand placement during face-offs.
Tip #1 — If your hand is close to your other hand, with a very short movement, your handle can go a long way. While it can be quick, the problem with this is that with your hands that close, you lose power. If the opponent is using a power move on you, you won't have any strength.
Tip #2 — If you bring your hand all the way down to the end of the stick, your hand has to move farther and it's much slower. But you have power.
Foot Placement
When it comes to your feet, they MUST be able to support what you are doing with your hands. For example, most kids in lacrosse camps have their feet back too far on face-offs. In this position, they simply won't be able to move their hands very well.
Therefore, keep the right foot close to the hands. This will allow a player to get his weight off of his hands, also allowing the athlete to get their right shoulder over the ball, which is where you want to be anyway.
Meanwhile, the placement of the left leg is a bit trickier. It can actually take a while for a player to figure out where he wants it and what works best. Many times it often depends on the size of the player. For instance, taller guys may have to stick their leg out a little because otherwise it's just not comfortable any other way.
Also, try turning in a little bit, especially if clamping. This will really help you get to where you want to go.

This month's lacrosse drill was submitted by Chaun Klemetsrud from Champlin Park High School in Minnesota.
Sesame Street Drill
Get three lines behind the net, about 10 yards apart from each other. Name the lines A, B, and C, or any team letters.
Get two lines just above the box line. Name the lines 1 & 2, or any team numbers.
1) The coach throws a ball to any of the three lines behind the net, while releasing the first player in the two lines up top. This is a 3 v 2 attacking from X in favor of ABC.
2) After it's played out to a shot, save, or clear, release the next two players from the lines up top. Now it's a 4 v 3 situation in favor of Team #'s.
3) Players that were on offense now must play defense and vice versa. Halfway through the drill, have the players behind the net switch spots with those up top so they can both get looks.

In the latest edition of All Access, we head south to sunny Florida for a practice session with Montverde Academy head coach Kevin Boyle. Follow along as the former Naismith National Coach of the Year leads his squad through a variety of breakdown drills focused on man-to-man defense.
Zigzags & Catch up
Last month, we watched UConn women's head coach Geno Auriemma take his team through a similar zigzag drill. This time, Coach Boyle puts a little wrinkle on the drill as players go with no basketball.
In this example, players must work on getting their head on the ball so they can turn the ball handler. It's imperative that defenders get in front of the offensive player. It's really the key to slowing down a team's fast break.
So why no ball? Well, according to Coach Boyle, you find out that at this level, most players don't handle the ball well enough yet to make this drill valuable for the defense.
Next, with "Catch Up", the drill plays out similar to before, except this time defenders must run to a spot about three feet ahead and then beat the offensive guy to that spot.
Getting Under or Over the Screen
Next, get two players on each side of the full court to act as screeners. Defenders must be away of the screen coming their way and get either under or over it. Be sure to make this game speed. Don't just go through the motions. As for the offensive player, really try to run the defender into the screen. This is good practice for realistic situations in games.
Tracing a Dead Ball
Finally, get two lines set up. Players will go 1-on-1. The offensive player will dribble and then get stuck somewhere on the court. The defender must play up their face and tough defense. The offensive player works on being strong with the ball.
Next, make the drill 2-on-2 and have the new defender deny a second offensive player. The dribbler will run into trouble on the fast break while his teammate works to get open. The deny defender will do everything he can to prevent the pass from happening. Offensive players should look to go backdoor in these situations.

College Hockey:Wisconsin Tops Lake Superior
Controversy Helps Badgers
MADISON, Wis. — Although it will go down in the books as a tie, it was obvious from the violent arguing coming from the Lake Superior State bench that the Lakers had a lot of emotion invested in winning the 20th Badger Hockey Showdown.
They same can't be said for the WCHA replay officials.
With the game deadlocked at one after overtime and the two teams needing a shootout to determine the tournament champion, Wisconsin senior Tom Gorowsky officially scored the shootout's only goal, helping the Badgers win their 10th Showdown championship Sunday night in Madison.
"We are definitely excited," said freshman center Derek Stepan about the Badgers winning their own tournament for the first time since 2005. "We wanted to make sure coming off break that we played hard both games. It was definitely the goal from the start to get the championship win and we did what we needed to do."
After Gorowsky scored on the first attempt in the shootout, the next four shooters drew blanks, bringing up Lake Superior State's Troy Schwab, the Lakers' leading scorer, needing a goal to force sudden death.
Using a little stutter step, Schwab fired a shot on UW goalie Shane Connelly's left side. Originally stopping the puck's momentum with his glove, the puck fell out of Connelly's glove onto the goal line as he landed on the ground and appeared to be dangerously close to crossing over the line.
Head referee and WCHA official Brad Shepherd, standing mere feet from the play, waved off the goal immediately, sending the Badgers into a celebratory frenzy as the team created a dog pile on top of Connelly.
To make doubly sure it was a goal, Shepherd went to check the video replay, only to find out that the replay officials had turned off the system after the overtime period, thinking the game had concluded.
The shootout was nothing new to Lake Superior State (5-8-7), as the CCHA has adopted the shootout for the first time this season. On the other hand, the WCHA sticks with a tie after a deadlocked first overtime period, making a shootout a foreign post-game activity.
As it turns out, ignorance was bliss for Wisconsin.
"They couldn't review it because they turned (the replay) off after the five minutes of overtime," LSSU head coach Jim Roque said. "They never left it on for the shootout. That just tells you how it's going for us this season."
Connelly was named the tournament's most valuable player after he stopped 35 shots on the weekend (25 on Sunday night) and all three attempts in the shootout, but it was his final stop that drew most of the inquiries.
"There was part of the puck that definitely went across the line but the rule states that the puck has to be entirely over the goal line," Connelly said confidently. "I was looking at it and the ref was right there and I know for a fact that it did not go it. There was no white between the puck and the goal line."
If either team was unhappy with the result, they only have themselves to blame for not executing on their chances in regulation.
For Wisconsin (10-7-3), Stepan hit two posts, Michael Davies hit one crossbar, Andy Bohmbach was denied twice from point-blank range and Jordy Murray couldn't corral the puck with a wide-open net in front of him. Not only could UW not convert, they were sloppy, as the Badgers didn't play with the same intensity that led them to a dominating victory in the semifinals.
"It was very frustrating," said UW coach Mike Eaves, who cringed frequently during a sloppy third period. "We were not very aware of what we were trying to do and they were winning puck battles. It was in part to what they were doing, but we didn't react very well and we didn't execute the battle plan. We were not as sharp as we were last night."
The Lakers, meanwhile, hit three posts of their own, as Pat Aubry nailed the post with four minutes, 20 seconds left in regulation while Steven Kaunisto and Rick Schofield both beat Connelly and nailed the left post during the shootout, setting the stage for the controversy.
"We played great, we had a chance to win the game but that's our team right there; we get chances and can't score," Roque said. "Our goalies make great saves but let (expletive) goals in. We leave them no room for error and that's how it's been. I thought we deserved better."
With time winding down in the third period, however, it looked as if Lake Superior State was finally going to break through in the Showcase after two past second place finishes. After Zac MacVoy scored his eighth goal of the season with 16:24 on the clock, the Badgers, having shown no strong signs as of yet, finally made their move.
Looking to pass the puck back to one of his linemates, John Mitchell's pass hit Schwab's skate, sending the puck right back onto his stick. Taking advantage of the lucky bounce, Mitchell fired a shot that ricocheted off the inside of goalie Pat Inglis' pad and into the back of the net to tie the score with less than two minutes left in the game.
"That's one of the silver linings of tonight," Eaves said. "As much as we struggled and didn't do things to a high degree, the type of the goal that John scored was the type of goal that fit the game for us, a grinding goal. Later on in the year, there are going to be other times this year when something like this will happen and we can draw from this experience.
"It's not in the 'L' column, which is important for us. We can be proud that we had a chance to put in there."

So what the heck do you do on a cold winter day in Pa and you have Cabin Fever? Well you can always Google the term. Thank goodness I found something !!! So it was watching the movie Cabin Fever or going to Crystal Cabin Fever in Lakeville Pa. I decided to go later in the day. I expected to see fewer people and was hoping to find some cool ice sculptures.
After going to Blue Mountain a few weekends ago, I wanted to challenge myself taking images of ice. It's not the easiest assignment. Ice has a high reflectivity so I brought along my two remote flashes with a blue gel and trek pod. I wish I had my other stuff… Anyway I was able to get some great images.
A little about this gem. These guys are really creative an put an enormous about of time into their passion. Free hot chocolate.. art… ice slides..friendly people and chainsaws !!!! A true combination for a great afternoon. Admission is $10.00

When are newspaper people going to stop whining?
Look, I could be perceived as one of the "victims" of the forces that are upending the long and successful run of newspapers. I'm one of the journalists who lost his job in the past few months.
But the idea that newspapers need special treatment or support from the government appals me. If strong local news organizations are really so important to our society, we'll figure out a way to make them successful. We've seen many examples of successful innovation in the past three decades, from CNN and NPR to Bloomberg and USA Today. We'll find a way to make local news organizations successful, too. It's just going to be rough getting there, and there could be a lot of wreckage along the way.
But the idea of freezing things the way they are by having the government protect existing franchises or their descendants is a fool's errand. I've lived under two JOAs and know that government involvement is no panacea.
Instead, let's look to experimentation, recognizing that much of what news organizations try won't work.
But before we ride the high horse of how important newspapers are or have been, let's remember how much of what they do and did really wasn't essential or watchdog journalism. They were part of their community conversation. They still can be. But they're going to have to look different. My belief is that they're going to have to become part of a network, something like a 21st century AP. The local office will be more like an AP bureau, although much bigger. They'll produce local products (print and web and mobile) as well as contribute to a national network. That's got to be the most efficient and least expensive way to enable most news organizations to focus on what can give them a competitive advantage: their knowledge of the local territory and their identity as watchdogs. But if they're going to do that, they're going to have to give up some things they think essential today.
Maybe that's going to require different owners and even different journalists. But if independent reporting is so important to our society, people will find a way to produce it.

Well put. The other false promise is that becoming a non-profit will solve all. I advise a non-profit college newspaper, and I can tell you that non-profit does not mean non-revenue. The same issues and challenges facing the industry face us as well.ReplyDelete

Crackly Banana Bread
The crackle comes from uncooked millet, a seed that can be cooked like a grain in pilafs, but here is left crunchy. It's sold in health food, speciality stores and many larger ones (found mine at Whole Foods). If you don't have t and don't want to seek it out, however, the recipe absolutely works without it and makes a delightful, wholesome spin on banana bread with no less deliciousness than the original.
I suspect a gluten-free flour mix would work well here, but didn't test it out in my kitchen. If you'd like to play around a mix of whole-grain flours would make a lovely partial swap too (perhaps some rye, buckwheat or barley flours).
Miss the bourbon and butter? You might like my Jacked-Up Banana Bread too!
3 large ripe-to-over-ripe bananas
1 large egg
1/3 cup (80 ml) virgin coconut oil, warmed until it liquefies, or olive oil
1/3 cup (65 grams) light brown sugar
1/4 to 1/3 cup (60 to 80 ml) maple syrup (less for less sweetness, of course)
1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1 1/2 cups (180 grams) white whole-wheat flour (or flour mixture of your choice, see Note up top)
1/4 cup (50 grams) uncooked millet
Preheat your oven to 350°F and butter a 9×5-inch loaf pan. In the bottom of a large bowl, mash bananas with a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon until virtually smooth but a few tiny lumps remain. Whisk in egg, then oil, brown sugar, syrup and vanilla extract. Sprinkle baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves over mixture and stir until combined. Stir in flour until just combined, then millet.
Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 40 to 50 minutes. Cool loaf in pan on rack.
Do ahead: Loaves keep well in the freezer, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, for a month or more. Ours kept at room temperature for a record week, becoming more moist each day.

Josh Asper and Shawn Contos are joining the Terrapin wrestling coaching staff, the University of Maryland announced Wednesday.
Asper will be the Terps' volunteer assistant coach, while Contos joins the Maryland staff as strength coach. They will be joining long-time head coach Kerry McCoy, along with Rob Eiter, former University of Pennsylvania coach who came on board as an assistant coach earlier this summer.
A familiar face to Maryland mat fans, Asper wrestled for the Terps from 2008-13, and served as an administrative assistant to the wrestling staff last season. Asper was a two-time ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) champ in 2011 (at 165 pounds) and 2013 (at 174), earning ACC Wrestler of the Year honors in 2011. The Parkton, Md. native was twice an NCAA All-American (2011, 2012). Asper completed his collegiate mat career with a 152-24 record, making him the second winningest wrestler in program history.
In addition, Asper has received a number of special honors as a wrestler, including the Maryland Watch Award as Best Male Athlete of the Year from Maryland in 2012, then was honored with the Silvester Watch Award in 2013 for the student-athlete who demonstrates courageousness in the face of adversity.
Contos comes to College Park, having served as strength coach at Penn State since 2008. During his tenure, the Nittany Lions to four straight NCAA team titles under head coach Cael Sanderson. Contos also served under Sanderson as strength coach at Iowa State for one season. Prior to being on staff for the Cyclones, Contos was an assistant wrestling coach at Eastwood High School in Ohio the previous five seasons, according to the "Toledo Blade."
"I am very excited to have these guys join our staff," said McCoy. "Their skills and experience will be great assets to our team and they will have an immediate impact on our program."

Hydrological modelling depends highly on the accuracy and uncertainty of model input parameters such as soil properties. Since most of these data are field surveyed, geostatistical techniques such as kriging, classification and regression trees or more sophisticated soil-landscape models need to be applied to interpolate point information to the area. Most of the existing interpolation techniques require a random or regular distribution of points within the study area but are not adequate to satisfactorily interpolate soil catena or transect data. The soil landscape model presented in this study is predicting soil information from transect or catena point data using a statistical mean (arithmetic, geometric and harmonic mean) to calculate the soil information based on class means of merged spatial explanatory variables. A data set of 226 soil depth measurements covering a range of 0-6·5 m was used to test the model. The point data were sampled along four transects in the Stubbetorp catchment, SE-Sweden. We overlaid a geomorphology map (8 classes) with digital elevation model-derived topographic index maps (2-9 classes) to estimate the range of error the model produces with changing sample size and input maps. The accuracy of the soil depth predictions was estimated with the root mean square error (RMSE) based on a testing and training data set. RMSE ranged generally between 0·73 and 0·83 m ± 0·013 m depending on the amount of classes the merged layers had, but were smallest for a map combination with a low number of classes predicted with the harmonic mean (RMSE = 0·46 m). The results show that the prediction accuracy of this method depends on the number of point values in the sample, the value range of the measured attribute and the initial correlations between point values and explanatory variables, but suggests that the model approach is in general scale invariant.

The new admin branch is awesome! However while nothing broke from the previous branch it highlighted a problem with the breadcrumb links. So far I have seen two issues - there may be more:
- If you change the name of your project to something other than admin - in your urls.py file - then at least the change password/logout links will fail. There are probably others.
- The default link (in base.html) won't take you to the home admin page. I don't think this is intended as most screens will actually take you to the admin home location, but in some cases it will take you to the server root location. An example is the "confirm delete" page, where the link will be "http://localhost:8000/" using the development server (this may not be a problem in other environments depending on how the web server segments django).
Anyway, throughout template code the href links look quite "fragile" - relative links so they assume certain locations, etc. I wonder if there is a solution (using, say, template tags) that will offer the project name, app name, module and/or action to help direct. I guess this still assumes certain locations but might be a little less likely to fail under some modifications.

Beef and pork should be cooked within three to four days, poultry, ground meat, and ground poultry within one to two days, and fish within 24 to 36 hours. That doesnt give dangerous (or spoilage) bugs time to multiply. back

Is it possible to score an interaction between protein and ligand given by other software (e. g., a MacroModel optimised structure) using the Glide scoring function?
Yes, it is possible to obtain protein-ligand interactions using the Glide scoring function on an already optimized structure. For this, you would have to select the 'Score in place (do not dock)' option in the Settings tab of the Ligand Docking panel of Glide.
This option uses the input coordinates to position the ligand for scoring. Therefore, it requires accurate initial placement of the ligand with respect to the receptor.
Also we advise you to not to use Glide XP with this option since a full XP sampling is normally needed to avoid strong XP penalties for ligands that should be able to dock correctly.

SO Pleased!
by User215282 on
I needed someone to come soon to clean our rental property so our new renters could move in. Tim made time in his schedule the day I called him. He cleaned the carpets and power washed the garage, and did a great job on both-for an AMAZING price! The carpets are BEAUTIFUL and so clean! Tim is personable and great to work with. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this service to anyone!
Awesome Clean
by User25804 on
I had Tim come and clean my rental house carpets. The carpets are old and worn out, by the time he was done, they were clean and looked great. spots were gone that had been there for over 10 years. He also cleaned a white area rug that sparkled clean! I had him clean the tile in the main entry and the grout lines turned from brown to white. I loved how he used little water and the carpets were ready for me to walk on with little to no drying time. While he was there I had him clean my Bamboo Hardwood flooring. The floor shined! Thank you Green Frog Cleaning for being Green Eco Friendly and also getting my carpets and house clean and ready for my new tenants. I'm very happy and would recommend this company.

Remarkably clean, hence the reason I am remarking about it. I would not recommend anyone to eat off of their carpet but if you do, I'd make sure they've been cleaned by Green Frog. This wasn't a normal steam or hot water clean up. This was something else, and the results were amazing!

Music festivals are always great. There's not much better than getting together with a whole bunch of like-minded people to have a blast over a few days to enjoy some epic live music.
A lot of music festivals are becoming very similar in a lot of ways. If you're in for a complete different and new experience, then Secret Solstice Festival is where you need to be this summer. Party for 72 hours in a place where the sun never sets, with the possibility of a volcano going off in the background. Sounds amazing? I thought so...
Examiner.com is proud to be the main USA online publication to cover this first-time event, which is probably about as unique as things go when it comes to music festivals, for more than a few reasons. Of course, there are some huge headliners like Massive Attack and Woodkid for music cred, though that's where the similarities to a normal festival end.
To start with, the event's name comes from the unique summer solstice period in June, during the longest days of the year. For most of the world this just means more sunlight in a day, though Iceland's far-north location means the sun literally won't set at all, with 24 hours of daylight in a day.
Talk about a unique place to party for a weekend, right?
But that's not where it ends. Iceland is also the country where more than half the population believes in elves (seriously), there's a smartphone app to show you how closely related you are to someone so you don't hook up with your cousin, where almost all the electricity comes from a volcano, as well as being the nation that eats some of the strangest stuff on the planet like puffin, rotten shark, whale and seal.
If you've been hearing a lot about Iceland lately, there's probably a good reason for that. Blockbuster Hollywood movies like Batman Begins, Prometheus, James Bond, Tomb Raider, Oblivion and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty have been shot there, along with TV shows like Game Of Thrones. Combine that with the country being home to Björk and Eyjafjallajökull (otherwise known as the unpronounceable volcano that shut down half the world in 2010), the tiny North Atlantic nation has been in our faces more recently than ever before.
The setting will be Iceland's capital of Reykjavik, the most northern capital city on the planet. Like most modern festivals there are camping grounds, hostels, hotels and resorts nearby for you to rest your head in between partying, though with the added benefit of a warm geothermal pool in the grounds as well. Probably the perfect way to relax and get rid of a hangover over the weekend.
The amazing people from Secret Solstice will bring me to the festival to have all exclusive access and content for you to enjoy in case you can't make it, but before all that, we will have exclusive interviews and news on the festival that you will only find here!
The festival will feature more than one hundred international acts in June. The first list of performers has been announced, however stay tuned for a lot more to be announced.
Secret Solstice Line-Up (more to be announced):

Production on the eighth series of the hit comedy will finally begin this week after negotiations led to a delay on set.
11:08, UK, Tuesday 05 August 2014
The three main stars of the hit television show The Big Bang Theory have reportedly reached a new deal on their pay, ending a delay to the start of production on its eighth season.
Jim Parsons and co-stars Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco are thought to have tripled their salaries and will now earn around $1m (£590,000) an episode, according to the Hollywood Reporter and Variety.
The trio have signed three-year deals, meaning they will stay with the comedy until the end of its 10th season.
The stars' salaries now match those given to the co-stars of Friends, starring Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox, who negotiated their deal as a group.
Production on the 24-episode season eight of Big Bang is likely to resume on Wednesday after a one-week delay over the salary dispute, the two Hollywood news outlets said.
The other two stars of the CBS show, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar, are still in negotiations, but are expected to reach deals this week with production company Warner Bros, the reports said.
The show focuses on the lives of a group of scientists and their wannabe actress friend Penny (Cuoco).
Big Bang averaged about 20 million viewers an episode last season, making it the most-watched comedy in America.
The show has been nominated for the best comedy series Emmy, and Parsons - a three-time Emmy winner in the role of Sheldon - is nominated again this year.
The Emmys will be handed out on August 25.

TUCSON, Ariz.- University of Arizona head women's basketball coach Joan Bonvicini today announced the hiring of Toriano Towns as the new assistant coach for the program.
"I am extremely excited to join the Wildcat family," Towns said. "Tucson is a mecca for great college basketball and Coach Bonvicini is a living legend in our sport. I am honored to have the opportunity to work with an exceptional staff and some of the most talented athletes in the country."
Towns comes to the UA from Gonzaga, where he has served as an assistant for the past three seasons. He will work with the Wildcat post players, and will also be heavily involved in recruiting and scouting.
"We're very excited to have Tori join our staff," Bonvicini said. "He has excellent experience and he's an outstanding recruiter. He was instrumental in helping Gonzaga become one of the top teams in the West Coast Conference."
At Gonzaga, Towns was responsible for post player development as well as scouting and game preparation. He also served as the co-recruiting coordinator. While there, he helped orchestrate the second-best turnaround in West Coast Conference history as the team went from eighth to second place in just one year.
Last season, Gonzaga posted an 18-12 record and finished in second place in the WCC. The team advanced to its second-ever Women's National Invitational Tournament (WNIT), where it lost to Oregon State in the first round.
The Bulldogs set numerous school records during Towns' tenure, including best home record (25-4 over the last two seasons), most blocked shots in a season and attendance. Towns also coached five All-WCC performers.
Last season, Gonzaga led the WCC in field goal percentage, free throw percentage, rebounding margin and home attendance. In 2002-03, the Bulldogs led the league in scoring defense, field goal percentage defense and three-point field goal percentage defense.
A Brooklyn, N.Y. native, Towns earned his bachelor's degree in communications from Saint Mary's College in 1998. A four-year starter and three-time team captain as a defensive back for the Gaels' football team, Towns appears in the SMC record book for tackles, deflections and games started. The 1996-97 squad was one of the top five teams in SMC history and was ranked No. 14 by Sports Illustrated.
Towns' ties to basketball coaching began during his senior year at Saint Mary's when he broke his arm and was unable to compete in football. He began working with then-head coach Kelly Graves and the women's basketball team. Graves was hired at Gonzaga in 2000 and later invited Towns to join his staff.
While at Gonzaga, Towns was pursuing a master's degree in organizational leadership. He has an eight-year-old daughter, Arianna.

The Super Bowl is about a week away and everyone is planning their parties and getting their lists ready for the big day.
I want you to add one more item to your list to go along with the chips, dips, and beer.
It's the Tuc-Away Table and it is a space saving end table that fits into any space you have available.
Space can be limited during when guests arrive for your Super Bowl, Final Four, or even this summer, a World Cup party you may be hosting.
The Tuc-Away is a foldable end table that fixes or attaches to just about any piece of furniture, but it serves a great purpose.
Retailing for $69.95, the Tuc-Away Table offers a modern look and a ton of convenience. Think sofas, chairs, beds, and even your trusty recliner.
We all know there is limited space in a dorm room or apartment, so the Tuc-Away will pair with any unique piece of furniture a college student may have sitting in his or her abode.
One world that comes to mind when I think of the Tuc-Away would be "handy."
It comes in black or brown, and you might be impressed to learn it is scratch and water resistant. It also easily folds down and blends right into your room allowing you to store and hide it when it isn't in use. It sets up and is put away quickly with no effort.
I'm on board with the Tuc-Away Table as the big game sports spectating season approaches. It's a no brainer addition to your living, dining, or even bedroom.
It's currently being sold on Brookstone's online website. Also, you can see an instructional video and more information at http://www.tucawaytables.com.

So, he would say: "This is a proof from the Book", or "This is a correct proof, but not from the Book". In fact, a book called "Proofs from the Book" was written by M. Aigner and G. Ziegler, and this is one of the most popular mathematical books ever. In this talk, I shall present some proofs of great theorems from this book, and some other ones that, in my opinion, belong there.

We're using amazon EC2 and we want to keep track of instaces. Is the Amazon EC2 instance-id unique forever? i.e. If a VM has an instance id of i-12345678 is there a guarantee that when that instance terminates, that instance id won't ever be used again?
I asked Amazon, and this was their answer:
"Instance ids are unique. You'll never receive a duplicate id. However, the current format of the instance id is an implementation detail that is subject to change. If you use the instance id as a string, you should be fine."
It's important to note that you will never receive the same ID twice. However, since you can't connect to other people's instances, this will probably be sufficient.
I think @jedberg's answer is the right one. However, I would also point you to this article: http://www.jackofallclouds.com/2009/09/anatomy-of-an-amazon-ec2-resource-id/
which has a very in-depth analysis (albeit with some guesswork) of how Amazon ID's are constructed. The guy who wrote it doesn't work for Amazon, but you can tell he did his homework :-). IMO it's worth the read just for informational purposes.
I couldn't find anything online, but I wouldn't count on guaranteed uniqueness, even if the current format would accommodate >4 billion IDs.

After a Windows update, my brother's Gateway computer loads to the "Step 3 of 3: 0%" and reboots.
Safe Mode does not work.
I placed a Vista DVD in the drive, and re-booted. (Note, this is my Vista DVD, not the Recovery/System disc that would come with a computer. Gateway does not give you CD's anymore. I believe they store recovery on a partition, but that partition has been wiped out).
I chose "Repair Your Computer"
I get a dialog box, but no operating system is listed. I'm then prompted to "Load Drivers". What drivers am I supposed to be loading here and where from?
I placed a CD in the drive to "load drivers" but I don't see my DVD drive listed. All I saw where X:/Sources along with several Removable Media slots that were empty.
On another screen I tried Startup Repair, which didn't do anything.
I attempted to use System Restore - but it doesn't detect the hard drive.
I'm guessing that I'm missing some sort of SATA driver and that is why the hard disk is not being found.
Any ideas on this?

Do you know the number of email accounts in existence globally? Depending on who you ask the number could be 2.4 billion accounts or even 3.2 billion. The number is an impressive metric, so creating or even growing your email list of contacts it is an achievable feat. In a blog post published Friday by GetResponse highlights some of the fundamental strategies marketers need to play close attention when using this communication channel and how to successfully formulate this email it.
Regardless of the exponential usage of social media networking or social media marketing, email is still the backbone for most organizations. For example, there are three times more email users than Facebook and Twitter users put together. Quite an amazing statistic and a high level of dependency for this affordable tool.
So why is email still the go to and the preferred communication medium? The blog lists the following reasons: it is more personal, it is more serious, more attention grabbing, more targeted and the cheapest. The affordable nature of email cannot be handled with disdain rather consider it one of the profitable pillars for basically any business.
According to this infographic email ad revenue managed to reach $156 million in 2012. Building a list or a "killer" list per say is more about staying organized and communicating in a professional manner with quality content to those clients who care, and want to stay up-to-date with the company.
Things to do when collecting or compiling an email list includes doing some housekeeping chores. First of all, do not buy email lists since it can have your company permanently listed as a spammer. Second, use your business email management service to look up the contact directory (current clients, business partners and followers) in order to migrate them to the email marketing list.
Likewise, leverage the membership lists as many chambers of commerce and professional organizations do. By the same token embed a sign-up form on your company's website, social media profiles, blog and any other online space.
For offline activities bring sign-in sheets for company shows or events while preserving company etiquette when asking for this sensitive information. Finally, nothing beats giving away free stuff or providing certain free incentives to check out the company's business dealings. All of this allows you gradually cultivate your email list and try to achieve business goals.
The infographic outlines all of the steps and you can visualize the process through these nifty chronological illustrations on their blog. To keep a long term relationship going with your contact list consider a few takeaways: provide great content, clean your list, keep the list private and make opting out simple.

Funding for police, fire, and emergency medical technicians (EMT) needs will be shortchanged by about $ 100 billion through 2008, according to a report from a nonprofit group.
The First Response Coalition—which has 40,000 police, fire, EMT, and other supporters nationwide—released "America's First Responders and the Federal Budget: A Study of Rhetoric Versus Reality." The report concludes that first responders will be underfunded by $100.2 billion by 2008. The estimate is based on budget figures for the Department of Homeland Security and does not take into account any cuts to first-responder funds that reside in other federal departments.
A number of first responders directly commented on the situation in the report. Gene Stilp, president, Dauphin-Middle Paxton Fire Company #1, Dauphin, Pa., said, "In the less than four years that have passed since Sept. 11, the federal budgets for first-responder grant programs have been reduced. These results do not match the urgency contained in many of the continued public remarks on the topic."

"…for the raindrop, joy is entering the river…" ~ Mirza Ghalib, Urdu poet
Attune your inner ear to deep listening.
Now, more than ever, you need to be skilled at accessing the truth within. You will go into your own heart and find your own inner knowing. The world is full of conflicting information and ideas. With the simple tools I teach, you will gain discernment to know what is true for you.
At first, this information may arise as spoken words. As you practice, it will become "worldless intelligence". What is wordless intelligence?
Knowing what to do and when to do it.
Knowing from your knowing, not from an externalized voice or from a channeling that comes from someone else.
This skill is very practical for:
- Helping you pay attention to what really matters for your life path.
- Enabling you to work with nature, rather than against it.
- Receiving practical, direct guidance that is life changing and path accelerating.
- Trusting yourself.
- Raising your vibrational frequency to attract the best outcome.
- Greatly and rapidly boosting creativity.
- Erasing and re-writing limiting core beliefs by using Flower Essence Therapy.
The truth really is within you. Learn practical, inspiring tools to access it.

Genetic Alliance UK in Wales:
Education: Living with a Genetic Condition in Wales - GCSE & A Level Workshops (pilot project)
In 2006, Genetic Alliance UK in Wales worked on a small-scale educational project for Key Stage 4 and A Level students in the Cardiff area with colleagues from the Medical Genetics Service for Wales, Techniquest science centre and the Wales Gene Park.
This pilot project facilitated a discussion between students and a person affected by a genetic condition; a genetic counsellor also participated in the discussion. The aim of the workshops were to enable students to learn more about the impact of living with a genetic condition and its implications for individuals and families. Conditions included were Cystic Fibrosis, Haemophilia and Huntington's Disease.
The reaction and content of the discussion demonstrated how powerful it was for students to hear about a person?s own life experiences with a particular condition. Feedback from teachers and students high-lighted the value of the workshops and detailed the effect the workshop had on their own understanding and challenging their own opinions and perceptions.
This project has very close association with Genetic Alliance UK's other initiatives such as the publications "Living with a Genetic Condition" and "DNA 50" as well as the video clips on the website. Teachers expressed a clear need and appreciation for this initiative to complement their classroom teaching. Genetic Alliance UK is now keen to continue this area of work.
If you would like to find out more information about this project, please contact Buddug Williams.

Health Tip: Taking the Kids for a Shopping Cart Ride
First, they must be buckled in
Topics: Kids: Misc Parenting Safety & Public Health: Misc
(HealthDay News) -- More than 20,000 children are hurt each year in incidents stemming from shopping carts, the American Academy of Pediatrics says.
The academy offers these suggestions for parents before the ride begins:
- Children should always be securely buckled into the cart.
- Children should remain seated while in the cart.
- Children should never ride outside of the cart.
- Children should always keep their feet and hands inside the cart.
- Children shouldn't ride in a cart unless a responsible adult is pushing it.

Seems like it's been dead around here lately.... maybe I can get someone's attention. I have the mag and the drawing, and from what I can tell the timing becomes fixed, that tells me the layout of the bolt circles becomes critical... the layout seems to based on the gen screw holes so... does a set of dowel pins with centers machined in sound like the right approach to get everything squared away? Does anyone have any experience with these mags, good or bad?
Thanks, Brad

Polldaddy.com eh, sounds gayer than two guys doin' the nasty.
This list is skewed and biased. Tony McDaniel has no business even being on it, and I suspect was only put there to keep everyone from voting for Chris Williams, who in reality would be the obvious choice among players who SHOULD be on the list.
McDaniel does not belong on this list.
what they said!
McDaniel indeed has no business being on this list. The guy looked stout against the run last Monday and will likely be an integral part of our defense this year.
I want to see more out of Chris Williams before we anoint him the next Devin Hester.
If Chris Williams continues to do what he did against the Jaguars (minus the catch on the 5), he is the obvious choice on this poll. My biggest fear is releasing him and seeing him on a division rival two times a year.
not even worth voting since Anthony Armstrong isn't on the list.
Tony McDaniel DOES NOT belong on the list. Brandon London and Chris Williams both bring different needs to the Dolphins Special Teams. Speial Teams has to open the holes for Chris Williams' returns. Brandon London is the power buster. Keep them both and DUMP Jason Allen.
of the people on the list mcdaniels is the easy choice, but is he anywhere near the bubble? if they are even considering cutting him that' would be crazy!! he may be a starter, if not he'll be very high in the rotation. i would think armstrong, allen or bryan would be on this list instead. why not put pennington on here? or pat white?
but if what is above is the actual list the there are some stupid fans!! mcdaniels should be getting at least 50%. sorry but as much as i liked what williams did in ONE preseason game. he'll only be on the field for 9 plays at most. not to mention that we already have guys who can do punt and kick offs. ginn, bess, and cobbs. having 4 solid defensive ends is a must every game. merling langston, starks and who would be the 4th if you cut mdaniels?? plus mcdaniels can be moved inside in some of our more exotic blitz packages. williams had the bad one on the 5 yard line, but he also bobbled a couple as well. not to mention he was pretty much invisible as a WR.
so when you look at the poll provided and 37% of the fans think williams is more valuable than mcdaniels after one preseason game in his rookie season?? those 37% are off the planet of reality!!
It says who would they REGRET cutting the most, not who's the best player. While I think McDaniel is the best player on the list, I'd be a lot more worried about punting to Williams than running against McDaniel. Tony's a solid backup; Williams may become a dazzling return man.
