WINSTOM-SALEM, NC ( Ivanhoe Newswire) -- One in 10 adults suffers from some type of depression. Medications and psychotherapy are common treatments, but for many, they just don't work. Now, a treatment considered barbaric decades ago is making a big comeback.
The past six years have been anything but easy for Jim and Amy Adkins. Jim suffers from severe depression that started when his dad committed suicide.
"I basically would get up and sit on the couch and stare at the wall," Jim Adkins, told Ivanhoe.
It got so bad this father of three nearly followed in his dad's footsteps.
"I attempted suicide twice. I was just at the end of my rope," Jim said.
Drugs and therapy didn't work, so Jim's doctor told him about shock therapy, now known as ECT.
"I was a little reluctant, skeptical, and scared," Jim said.
Duke psychiatrist Richard Weiner says ECT has been used since the 1930s, but Hollywood gave it a bad rap.
"For a lot of the public, what they know about ECT is what they saw on one flew over the cuckoo's nest. The treatments don't look anything like they used to look," Richard Weiner, M.D., PhD, a professor of psychiatry at Duke University School of Medicine, explained.
Jim's on his thirteenth treatment. Doctors first give him general anesthesia and a muscle relaxer. Once Jim's asleep, doctors deliver a quick electrical current that causes a seizure in the brain. The seizure produces chemical changes in the brain that reduce the depressive symptoms.
"The same kind of neurotransmitter changes that occur with antidepressants also occur with ETC," Dr. Weiner said. "It's just that ECT does it more powerfully."
There's no pain, and studies show for those who are good candidates, ECT works between 80 and 90 percent of the time. There are risks including headache, muscle pain, nausea and temporary memory problems, still, Jim's happy he gave it a try. Since starting ECT, he hasn't had any thoughts of suicide.
"Now, there's hope," Jim said. "I see a future."
The number of patients using ECT has tripled since the 1980s. Most patients will need follow-up treatments or other drug therapies after ECT. The shock therapy is mainly used for patients with severe, debilitating depression. MORE

We had so much fun with the Cross Clash in Vegas, that we thought we'd go big and bring it to everyone! Let's face it, there's nothing that feels better in 'cross than crushing your friends. We've teamed up with crossresults.com to make crushing your friends even more rewarding than it already is, by entering whomever wins the season-long head-to-head matchup between you and your "friend" in a raffle for some great prizes from the Rapha Cyclocross Collection.
There will be monthly drawings for:
At the end of the season, someone gets a grand prize of:
Winners are drawn from the list of people who are currently leading a #CXCLASH. If you're participating in 3 clashes and winning 2 of them, for example, your name would be entered twice.
Here's how it works:
- Log into crossresults.com (you may need to create an account if you don't already have one).
- Go to your friend's profile.
- Click the "challenge this rider" button and put in your friend's email.
- Your friend will get an email allowing him/her to accept your challenge. If they do, it's ON! Beat them more than they beat you between now and Dec 15th and you're in the raffle.
- Repeat this with up to three friends. If you change your mind, or your friend is a deadbeat who doesn't want to play, you can always retract your challenge and issue it to someone else.
- Talk even more trash than you already do. If you're on twitter, use #CXCLASH!

Statements that the United States is giving up control of the internet has created confusion and even panic.
The United States announced that it is giving up its role as the guardian of ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). Currently ICANN assigns domain names and internet addresses as an independent non-profit organization on behalf of the United States Department of Commerce.
No need for panic
The transition of the management of internet names and numbers from a government agency to a private agency has been an evolution over three decades.
Before ICANN was created the United States government controlled the domain name system that organizes the internet.
In the 1990s as the internet was transitioning from government control to commercialization ICANN was created to take over the tasks of managing internet names and numbers used in managing internet traffic.
The Pew Research Center reported on Thursday that people from all over the world will gather in Singapore this weekend to discuss the future of ICANN.
The contract between the Department of Commerce and ICANN doesn't expire until September 2015. There is a lot than can happen in the year ahead to shape the future of ICANN.
As far as the United States giving up control, ICANN already is an international organization. The Pew Research Center states in their article that most of the current ICANN board members are not American, and the CEO is Egyptian.
An analogy to understand what ICANN does
ICANN controls the internet in the same sense that the Department of Motor Vehicles controls the highways.
ICANN regulates domain names and internet addressing. The Department of Motor Vehicles issues the drivers licenses and vehicle registrations.
If you did not have a drivers license, and owned a motor vehicle, you could still possibly drive on a public highway. It would be risky, but it would be possible. You could own a vehicle that you only used on private property.
The technology that drives the internet exists independently of ICANN or any government agency.
In the same sense that the DMV does not design automobiles, or oversee the innovations of transportation, ICANN has little to do with the actual technology used on the internet.
The technology that drives the internet is very complex, and owned by many large publicly owned companies, not government agencies.
How do you regulate chaos?
The concept on which the internet was conceived was to create a network where no single entity had complete control over it. It was designed to survive the next world war. In a world of chaos, if no one is in charge, the system, in this case the internet, is unaffected.
People comment they want the internet to be open and free, but when they hear that the United States is giving up control of an internet governing agency, they complain. Does that make sense?
Welcome to the world of internet regulation.

At 34, Brazilian journalist/critic Thiago Stivaletti, covering Cannes for the sixth time to date, will also be serving this year as a jury member for the France 4 Visionary Award as part of the 52nd International Critics' Week. He talked to Relaxnews about his experience midway through this year's festival.
Relaxnews: What's your take on the competition midway through the festival now?Thiago Stivaletti: The first part was very meager and I think the whole press agrees a little with that. We were expecting more competitors. Of the films I've seen, the one that succeeded in surprising me was Jia Zhangke's "A Touch of Sin." It's quite a powerful film compared to the director's usual register. This is the first time he's used so much violence in his work. And he does it in a very original way.... Besides Jia Zhangke, the other film that hit me is the Sorrentino ["The Great Beauty"]. It's a good film, pretty daring in its propositions..., but it's somehow a bit unfinished, incomplete. It's a good candidate. I wouldn't be surprised if it won a major award like the Prix du Jury or even the Palme d'Or.
R: And as for the ones to come?TS: I have high expectations for Kechiche's film because I think he's a filmmaker at the peak of his art. He's come with a long movie again this time, almost three hours. I think he might be a strong contender. I admit I'm not expecting much of Polanski and Jarmusch, who aren't on form lately.... But the biggest surprise will come from Spielberg and the jury, whose decisions are always difficult to grasp.
R: Tell us about your experience on the Visionary Award jury.TS: I'm very happy to be on it with three colleagues from France, China and Turkey. We have good discussions. It's the first time I've specifically taken part in the International Critics' Week. We critics generally focus on the [main] Competition [for the Palme d'Or]. I'm amazed at the quality of the films presented. Some very, very good first films. Filmmakers who I hope will go on to do more. Sometimes you've got to wonder why certain films aren't in the Official Selection. But it's a good thing the parallel sections show high-caliber films. Some remarkable films, every one of which is original, with distinctive aspects tied into its country of origin.
R: How do you account for the dearth of Brazilian films at Cannes?TS: I think there are two sides to this. There are failings on the part of the festival and on the part of Brazil. Brazil is still a little lacking in creative capital, in people really training for cinema, especially in the field of screenwriting. We have a shortage of good screenwriters. And good stories. There's still a tradition over there of the auteur who does everything, completes and shows his film, without calling in people who might help improve aspects of the screenplay.
Also, I think Brazilian directors and producers have a hard time looking at themselves in the mirror. I've talked about it with Brazilian colleagues and this is something profoundly Brazilian in fact. The Brazilian people have always had a hard time looking at their faults, their problems. We really have a tendency to show only our good sides. So there are both writing and training issues as well as a more philosophical issue, as I'd put it, which concerns Brazil as a country a little too eager to give a good impression.
R: And how is the festival at fault?TS: I don't think there's any bad faith involved. But sometimes you've got to dig a little deeper. I know that there are two or three films a year in Brazil that deserve to be at Cannes. These are films with original voices, but it's always funny for us Brazilians, who naturally see our own films in a different light. Some films that we don't find all that good have been selected for Cannes. I think Cannes and other festivals need to make a little more effort to find other films, in some cases films that are very small but worthwhile and deserve to be shown.
R: What was your finest memory of the Cannes Film Festival? TS: As a kid who loved cinema, it was very moving for me to get a chance to interview Jodie Foster. She was one of my muses, along with Michelle Pfeiffer, for her role in "The Accused" (1988). Another funny thing that made me very famous in Brazil, at least among my colleagues [smiles]: I asked Woody Allen a question at a press conference about "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger" (2010). I remember I was extremely nervous about asking that question. And in the end it was included in the film "Woody Allen: A Documentary" that came out last year. All my friends called me, saying "What in the world are you doing in the Woody Allen documentary?" [laughs].

Turkey's R&D investments– good, but not good enough
Investment in research and development (R&D) showed a slight increase last year compared to 2011's figure, though Turkey is still very far from realizing its ambitious 2023 targets in this field.
The share of funds drawn from Turkey's gross domestic product (GDP) for R&D investment climbed to 0.92 percent in 2012, with a 0.06 percent increase compared to the previous year, which stood at 0.86 percent.
This remains well below the level of 3 percent which Ankara expects to reach by 2023.
According to a Turkish Statistics Institute (TurkStat) study released on Wednesday, based on data provided by public institutions, commercial enterprises and public and private universities, TL 13.06 billion was spent on R&D in 2012, an increase of 17.1 percent from 2011.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced on Wednesday that Turkey aims to increase the share of its GDP allocated to R&D projects to 3 percent. Speaking at an industrial meeting held in Ankara, Erdoğan said the main priority of the Turkish industrial sector should be R&D, especially in design and innovation.
Last year, in an exclusive interview with Today's Zaman, Science, Industry and Technology Minister Nihat Ergün said the share of Turkey's GDP invested in R&D climbed from 0.5 percent in 2002 to 1 percent in 2011, adding that the government is planning to reach 3 percent by 2023, the centenary of the establishment of the Turkish Republic. He estimates that 3 percent of GDP will amount to $60 billion in 2023.
Regarding the distribution of R&D expenditure, commercial enterprises have the largest share with 45.5 percent. While universities accounted for 43.9 percent of spending on R&D, the share from public institutions was 11.3 percent.
In terms of financial contributions to R&D projects, commercial enterprises also have the largest share with 46.8 percent, followed by public institutions with 28.2 percent. Universities financed 21.1 percent of R&D projects. Foreign sources financed 0.6 percent of R&D in Turkey. In terms of full-time employment, 105,122 people worked in the R&D sector in 2012, an increase of 13.3 percent compared with the previous year. According to the study, 49.7 percent of R&D personnel were employed by commercial enterprises, while 38.8 percent worked at universities. Public institutions employed 11.5 percent of R&D personnel in Turkey.
Regarding the regional distribution of R&D spending in Turkey, the largest share of R&D spending was in the Western Anatolia region with 28.5 percent, according to the study, followed by İstanbul with 15.4 percent.

Westmont Track and Field History
Westmont Men's and Women's Track and Field History
Since the early 1960's, the Westmont track and field program has built a reputation for quality. Coach Jim Klein guided the Warriors from 1960-77 and established an impressive tradition of excellence. Klein coached numerous All-Americans, several national champions and two Olympians. Paul Herman set a school record in the decathlon and went on to place fourth in the 1964 Olympics. Jean-Louis Ravelomanantsoa won three NAIA national titles and competed for his native country of Madagascar in the 1968 and 1972 Olympic Games.
After two years under the direction of former national champion pole vaulter Steve Hughes, the coaching duties were turned over to Russell Smelley in 1979. Smelley helped build a women's program to match the success of the men.
In Coach Smelley's 36-year tenure, the Warriors have produced eight track & field national champions. Through 2015 student-athletes have claimed All-American honors in 106 individual events (33 men's and 73 women's) and 22 relays (10 men's and 12 women's) under Smelley's tutelage. In addition, Westmont has claimed GSAC championships in 125 events since the conference began in 1986.

Active Standard: C1193 - 16
Developed by Subcommittee: C24.10 | Committee C24 | Contact Staff Manager
1. Rationale
At the Executive Committee meeting on January 8, 2012, Steve Duren of The Adhesive and Sealant Council, Inc. (ASC) spoke regarding sustainability relative to sealants and adhesives. ASC would like to harmonize sustainability terms relative to sealant with ASTM C24. ASC provided a list of sealant terms that they would like ASTM C24 to consider; however C24 does not include terms in C717 unless the terms are used in a standard or standards. It was suggested by the Executive committee that sustainability of sealants be addressed in C1193. A new task group is therefore needed to address C1193 relative to including a section or sections relative to sustainability of sealants.

As always, Vincent Longo has yet again blown me away. It is by far one of my favorite brands and I am always very happy with the products and how thing make me feel. My most recent experiences with the brand has included the Crème Gel Liner and also the Starlette Gel Eye Stain. The Crème Gel Liner effortlessly applies to the eyelid and it is very easy to create your perfect line. Thick, thin, long, curved, or whatever your preference is, anything and everything is achievable with this product. It comes in two shades - Golden Orbit and Flamenco. Golden Orbit is a yellow gold while Orbit is a purplish gray. Both are great choices for summer trends. The Starlette Gel Eye is a liquid eye shadow that you can layer onto your lid to build the perfect color. It is water resistant and is it sheer. It comes in several colors so you can layer the same color to make a deeper hue or layer several colors to have a playful and dynamic look. The is no way to go wrong, and you can always (easily) wipe away the makeup. I have been using them for weeks and find that the color is vibrant, it doesn't wash away when I sweat, and it hasn't made me breakout.
The Starlette Gel Crème Eye Stain costs $24 each while the Crème Gel Liner costs $25. All products can be purchased online at www.vincentlongo.com or in Nordstrom stores. The Vincent Longo makeup line includes eye, lips, face, cheeks and even gluten free makeup. The website typically has a promotion, so if you see something that you like then get it while you can!

- //Appendix Out
Very few bands can compare to the likes of Belle and Sebastian. The group has achieved a level of notoriety for its devotion to mid-tempo '60s Brit folk pop that has rarely been duplicated. But as the band has grown, a few others have started to make small steps into its popularity. One of these groups has to be Appendix Out. The group, led by Glasgow native Alasdair Roberts, has over the course of its three albums evolved adorably. And now, with this latest EP covering some classic soul and folk songs, the luster on the group's shine should only blind more and more followers.
Recorded in Chicago while the band was the opening act for Edith Frost, A Warm and Yeasty Corner is a lovely piece of work. Although offering just five songs to keep the listener's attention, the songs here were chosen quite well. The opening track is the Vashti Bunyan song "Window Over the Bay", a track that is equal parts traditional Celtic and modern pop. With a supporting cast featuring members of Bosco & Jorge as well as L'Altra, Roberts nails this folk song with all the sincerity of so many performers before him. The Scottish lilt is just audible enough during the bridge to let Lindsay Anderson's piano flow effortlessly. The fragile tone in his voice is also another highlight.
The second track is another traditional Celtic folk song, "Sally Free and Easy". The Cyril Tawney track again features Roberts' vocals, but also briefly showcases grand harmonies with Bill Lowman. Featuring a charengo, the song strongly resembles a Chieftains b-side. The likes of Anne Briggs, Paddy Tunney and Shirley Collins can also be heard as strong influences. The tune is also not far from an early acoustic Pink Floyd attempt, such as those led by Roger Waters or even keyboardist Richard Wright.
Appendix Out
A Warm and Yeasty Corne
US: Available as import
UK: 6 May 2002
By far, though, the best track has to be the cover of Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". To be less than stellar, the track would have to be absolutely butchered, but Roberts almost surpasses Flack's soulful and tender version. There are moments near its conclusion that could reduce a hopeless romantic to tears. The slight audible warble in the line "The first time ever I lay with you / I felt your heart so close to mine" is almost blissful. It's also the first and only track where Roberts tends to take control, particularly from the second verse on.
If anything works against A Warm and Yeasty Corner, it's that something so good should be so short in duration. Like so many singles released by Belle and Sebastian, the effort is gorgeous but far too brief. The disc's only low point may be "Josephine", which sounds almost too contemporary given the other songs. The song, which uses Napoleon and Josephine as its characters, has Roberts giving another solid performance, but the arrangement seems a bit stifled. The dirge-like harmony vocal also works against the song. On the whole, though, it's a passable track.
The last song is a very cellular song. Well actually, the title is "A Very Cellular Song (Coda)" and feels like it was recorded in a castle kitchen somewhere in the Hebrides. With a simple and repetitive lyric throughout the four-minute song, it's easy to see why so many nearby decided to add harmony vocals and handclaps. Starting off with just Roberts and Lindsay Anderson's flute, the track becomes somewhat of a marching tune with the addition of drums. It also sounds midway through that Roberts tires slightly of the verse, but the added vocals push and urge him to continue. It's an almost perfect conclusion to a brilliant effort. Even if Roberts didn't write any of the lyrics, listening to these covers would lead you to believe they were his words and not just his angelic voice.

A Man Without a Country
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
moreA Man Without a Country is Kurt Vonnegut's hilariously funny and razor-sharp look at life ("If I die—God forbid—I would like to go to heaven to ask somebody in charge up there, 'Hey, what was the good news and what was the bad news?"), art ("To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it."), politics ("I asked former Yankees pitcher Jim Bouton what he thought of our great victory over Iraq and he said, 'Mohammed Ali versus Mr. Rogers.'"), and the condition of the soul of America today ("What has happened to us?").
Based on short essays and speeches composed over the last five years and plentifully illustrated with artwork by the author throughout, A Man Without a Country gives us Vonnegut both speaking out with indignation and writing tenderly to his fellow Americans, sometimes joking, at other times hopeless, always searching. less

Everything here is pretty much in my Autumn Beauty Staples post I done HERE with a few things added in.
First the Kate Moss Lipstick in 004 which is a vampire purple colour that I wore a lot towards the end of the year for a more dramatic and edgy look. My favourite thing here would probably be the Sleek contorting kit, it makes such a difference to your makeup, mines in medium and it blends in so nicely!
I've been using the Sleek eye shadow ultra matts palette most this year because it has a good mix of colours. I love the browns for a more natural look and then it has the dark greens and purples to change your look up a bit.
I love reading other peoples favourites so if you have done this post please link it below! :)

One big spoiler is that there will not be an episodes on February 20. On this day, the Olympics will need the entire day and so you don't get a new one so don't think that your DVR accidentally skipped recording it for you.

Abigail does tell Sami that she shares a secret with EJ, but of course she won't tell her what it is that she is talking about between them. Abigail will even tell EJ she isn't giving him up and this is starting to look a little fatal attraction.
Theresa will insist that Daniel sleep with her. Nicole will also move so that she can make sure her future with Eric is what she wants and they are close to each other. It is going to be a wild week.
"Days of Our Lives" airs every weekday on NBC. Don't miss new episodes next week.

Hockey To Hold Maroon & White Game For A Cause
Oct. 1, 2012
AMHERST, Mass. - In preparation for the upcoming 2012-13 season, which will begin at home against Connecticut on Oct. 12, the UMass hockey team will hold its Maroon & White game this Saturday, Oct. 6, at 4 p.m. in the Mullins Center Practice Rink. Admission is free to all with monetary donations accepted to benefit the Massachusetts Soldiers Legacy Fund, founded by former Minuteman Peter Trovato '05.
"Our team is proud to provide any assistance we can to the Massachusetts Soldiers Legacy Fund," said UMass head coach John Micheletto. "Peter Trovato founded this organization during his days as a student at UMass and it provides much needed educational resources to children right here in Massachusetts of fallen Servicemen and Women."
Trovato founded the Massachusetts Soldiers Legacy Fund (MSLF), a non-profit organization that offers educational assistance grants to the children of fallen soldiers from Massachusetts, in 2004 as an undergraduate. Since the fund's inception, it has garnered the support of hundreds of individual donors and numerous corporations. With its current resources, the MSLF guarantees a minimum of $40,000 in educational funding to each child of a fallen Servicemember whose "home of record" at the Department of Defense was Massachusetts.

More sad news on top of Bonnie Franklin's death last week. God be with Valerie Harper.
TV icon Valerie Harper, best known for her role as Rhoda on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," has revealed she has terminal brain cancer.
The 73-year-old actress, who battled lung cancer in 2009, opened up about her diagnosis to People magazine.
She said she found out about her illness on Jan. 15, 2012. Doctors say the beloved actress has about three months left to live.
We spoke to her on Jan. 9, just a week before her terrible diagnosis, and she was cheerful and upbeat when talking about her book, "I, Rhoda."
In the memoir, the New Jersey native writes candidly about her beginnings as a chorus girl on Broadway, eventually landing in Hollywood and the role that changed her life – Rhoda Morgenstern.
And even with her latest diagnosis, it seems Harper is maintaining her positive outlook on life.
"I don't think of dying," she told People. "I think of being here now."

Relentless touring and electric performances have developed a strong following for alt-rock duo Twenty One Pilots. They pulled into the Majestic Theater in Madison, Wis., on April 16 for a midweek love-fest with 600 of their biggest fans.
[Peruse a complete live concert gallery of many artists at Concert Capture. Please subscribe for future content.]
The masked pairing of vocalist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun erupted into "Guns for Hands" amid strobes for the shrieking capacity crowd. Joseph raced back and forth across the stage, taking on his characteristic frenetic persona, sometimes slowing it down as he got behind the keyboard.
Twenty One Pilots are presently touring on "Vessel," which recently spiked to the top of the Alternative chart on iTunes following their well-received performance of "Car Radio" at the MTV Movie Awards earlier this month. Though they're just beginning to break out on alternative radio with hits "Holding Onto You" and "House of Gold," most in attendance were deeply in tune with everything they performed.
Joseph's ability to seamlessly break from clean vocals to laser-sharp rap was accentuated by Dun's percussion. Whether he was in position behind his kit, tapping away on an electronic pad or perched upon another drum platform that was held aloft by the crowd, Dun drove the rhythm to perfection.
The majority of their set consisted of music from "Vessel," though they did reach back to their debut for "Isle of Flightless Birds." They also broke out a stunning, though abbreviated, take on Tears for Fears' "Mad World" at mid-set. Twenty One Pilots are going places, catch them on this club tour before the rest of the planet catches on.

I am lacking the skill of visualizing the problem, picture here, to decide the right intervals. The way I do it currently is to try things but the technique fails with anything more complicated to 2D. So how do you know which angle correspond to which angle range?
Let's break this into parts. Suppose there are two nodes, one $N$ in the north pole and one $S$ in the south pole. The distance $N-S$ is $\pi$. The distance $N-N$ is either $0$ or $2\pi$. Now, please, break this problem with nodes and graph-theoretically. See the paths are clearly different, the ending points vary: one is even and one is odd (trivially even if $N-N=0$ length accepted).

Prenatal Care
Timely Prenatal Care. Prenatal care — especially care beginning in the first trimester — improves pregnancy outcomes by identifying and managing chronic and pregnancy-related conditions and providing expectant parents with relevant health care advice. The rate of first trimester prenatal care utilization has been increasing fairly steadily since the early 1990s, and in 2005, 83.9 percent of women in 37 States, Washington DC, and New York City received prenatal care during the first trimester of pregnancy.
The increase in prenatal care utilization over the past 15 years has been especially remarkable among racial and ethnic groups with historically low rates of prenatal care. The proportion of non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and American Indian/Alaska Native women receiving early prenatal care increased by 20 percent or more since 1990; however, disparities still exist. In 2005, non-Hispanic White women had the highest rates of early prenatal care utilization (88.7 percent), followed by Asian/Pacific Islander women (85.3 percent), Hispanic women (77.6 percent), and non-Hispanic Black women (76.5 percent); American Indian/Alaska Native women had the lowest rate (69.6 percent).
Late or No Prenatal Care. The percentage of women beginning prenatal care in the third trimester or going without prenatal care remained steady in 2005 at 3.5 percent. American Indian/Alaska Natives, Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black women were more than twice as likely as non-Hispanic White women to receive late or no prenatal care. Risk factors for late or no prenatal care include being younger than 20 years old, being unmarried, and having low educational attainment.

Looking for a great Black Friday phone deal? If so, you may want to check out the Motorola ZN5 because T-Mobile will be dropping the price down to free. The good news here is that you can still take care of all your Black Friday shopping and not worry about missing out because T-Mobile has turned this into a Black Friday weekend and this offer is valid from November 28 through November 30.
The one catch, which may be a deal breaker for some is that you still have to pay $99 at the time of purchase because the free comes in the form of a mail-in-rebate. Also, as you would expect, you will also be required the accept the standard two-year agreement.
Just as a refresher, the ZN5 features a nice 5-megapixel Kodak camera with auto-focus and a Xenon flash, a 2.4-inch 240 x 320 display, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 350MB of internal memory, a memory card slot with support for up 4GB, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a built-in FM radio.

Email address lists: buy or leave alone?
Many people are intrigued by the idea of obtaining a ready-made list of email addresses they can send promotional emails to. Why wait months to slowly build up your own list of email addresses when you can piggy-back (for a price) on someone else's efforts?
While the idea seems attractive, there are many problems waiting for anyone pursuing this course of action.
The important issue is how you come to obtain that bulk list of email addresses. And here we distinguish between renting a list (list rental) and buying a list.
List rental
List rental is a recognized and broadly accepted practice in email marketing. Owners of address lists will send an email to their list on your behalf. And they charge you a fee for this service. The key point is that you never get to see the email addresses on that list. The list owner does the sending, not you.
Now there are lots of ins and outs to list rental, but for now you just need to understand that -- unlike with direct mail -- the actual address list never falls into your hands. So you pay a rental fee every time you want to send an email to the list.
Buying a list
The alternative is to buy a physical copy of a list of email addresses. After you pay the purchase price, there are no rental fees to pay. You can send your promotional message as often as you like to the list.
Sounds promising, right?
With very, very few exceptions, purchasing a bulk list like this is a shortcut to email marketing hell.
Let's look at the potential problems, including list fatigue, list quality, permission issues, legal/ISP issues, and their consequences...
1. List fatigue
Someone who has collected a list of email addresses for their own use has a valuable resource. That's why email marketing works so well: you have a list of people you can dip into regularly to boost sales, build relationships, drive downloads, whatever.
But the value of that list is only preserved if you don't abuse it. Send too much commercial email and people soon stop responding. In fact, "sending too many emails" is a top reason for consumers to unsubscribe from a list or report the sender as a spammer.
People are careful with what happens to their list. If they do choose to let other people use it, then they'll want to tightly control this use. And they'll only allow this if the recipients on their list have given permission (when they signed up) to receive such commercial messages from third parties.
Nobody wants to kill the goose that lays the golden egg.
So what happens to that list if the owner does sell copies to anyone willing to pay the right price? Nobody is controlling how many emails or even what type of emails people send the list. The addresses get bombarded with messages and response falls.
Clearly, no self-respecting list owner is ever going to sell copies of their valuable address list. Not if they want to preserve its value.
So what does that tell you about the likely value of a list that is up for sale?
2. List quality
Building your own list of people who have asked to get your emails takes patience. It doesn't happen overnight. Although the effort is worth it, many niche list owners will need months and years to build a list of relevant email addresses with more than a few thousand names on it.
And yet there are niche email lists for sale that promise hundreds of thousands or millions of "quality" addresses. No list of that size is likely to be as targeted as the owner claims.
Such a big list is normally only possible by cobbling together addresses from old lists or pulling them off public sources (like websites) with no guarantee that the address is relevant to the name or purpose it's being sold under.
Size matters for those selling: the more addresses you have, the more you can charge. So they're not fussy about quality, nor are they concerned with the legitimacy of the addresses on their lists.
So such lists will commonly have a number of dead, abandoned or non-existent addresses on them. What happens when a big chunk of your emails goes to such addresses? The receiving systems - ISPs, webmail operators etc. - mark you as a "dirty sender", which leads to such joys as blacklisting, compromising your ability to get any emails delivered in the future.
3. Permission
Successful email marketing is closely associated with the idea of permission. People respond well to emails they asked for. If they didn't ask for them, they might still respond. Or they might not. Or they might report you as spam, which has numerous practical consequences -- all of them bad -- for your brand, bottom line and ability to do business over the Internet.
The less expected or wanted your email, the more likely you are to get labelled a spammer. So how expected will the emails be that you send to your newly acquired list?
We already know from the above that the addresses are not likely to be as targeted as you hope. So your email is probably going to be irrelevant. And irrelevancy is another reason recipients give for reporting a sender as a spammer.
[Don't fall into the trap of thinking your emails are relevant, they're not.]
And how many of those addresses gave explicit permission for their details to be sold and resold again and again to anyone with a bit of spare cash? You wouldn't give that permission, so why would anyone else?
As mentioned above, a lot of lists are put together by scraping sites where email addresses are displayed publicly. Obviously there's no permission involved there.
Chances are the addresses on that list did not expect to find themselves in your hands. There is no permission.
In rare cases, at least some address owners signed up to the original list, knowing their email address would be passed on to third parties. No relief there, unfortunately. Even if they did, they're still not actually expecting email from you. There is still no explicit permission.
And if they did allow the passing on of their address, there's a strong chance they submitted a throwaway email address or a fake one. After all, how many people really give away their prime email address, knowing it could end up anywhere as a result?
"Opt-in" lists for sale usually aren't truly opt-in. Any opt-in claimed by the original list owner is likely a lie or an irrelevancy, perhaps with the "permission to sell my address" buried in terms and conditions that nobody read when they submitted their email address.
4. Legal and ISP issues
US spam legislation allows you to send email without first gaining the address owner's permission, provided you satisfy certain requirements concerning what you put in your emails.
That seems to suggest permission isn't so important after all. Wrong.
First, not everybody lives in the US. Anti-spam legislation in just about every other country in the world does require an opt-in before you can send that email. Do you know which country those email addresses you bought come from?
Second, only the courts care about the legal definition of what is and isn't spam. Those managing email (like ISPs) and those receiving it (address owners) have their own set of criteria. If they think you're spamming them, then they can and will block and blacklist you, a privelege that is actually enshrined within the same US anti-spam law that allows you to send those unfortunate emails in the first place.
And there's more...
Even with all the arguments outlined above, there are still many who want to believe the list buying dream. This section is for them:
1. Check out the average prices for renting opt-in email lists. It's $100-300 per thousand addresses. That's for a one-off send to addresses you never get hold of yourself.
So explain how anyone can sell a list of any kind of quality for, say, $300 per million addresses? You can't, you wouldn't. Logical conclusion: those incredibly cheap lists are incredibly cheap for a reason.
2. Here's what experienced, professional email marketing consultants say:
John Caldwell of Red Pill Email:
"You can't buy or sell someone else's permission. Buying lists is bad. Don't do it."
Al Iverson of Spam Resource:
"You're talking to me because you have deliverability issues. You have deliverability issues because you're buying email addresses."
Stephanie Miller of Return Path at ClickZ:
"Never buy/borrow a list from any source and add data to your file. Never."
Read Stephanie's article for real-world horror stories about what happens when you disregard this advice. (And here's another one.)
3. If buying lists was OK, email marketing services would have no problem letting you send to that list using their infrastructure.
They do have a problem though.
From the MailChimp terms of use:
"No purchased lists (no matter how expensive)."
From the Campaign Monitor terms of use:
"purchased lists may not be used"
From the AWeber anti-spam policy:
(On the company's "Things you may not do" list) "Use email lists that you purchased, rented, leased, or in any way bought from a third party"
From the StreamSend terms of use:
"You MAY NOT import members from co-registered or purchased sources"
From the ExactTarget anti-spam policy:
"Our clients certify that they will not use rented or purchased lists..."
Just about every professional email marketing service out there has a similar policy.
4. But my friend used a purchased list and it worked for him.Maybe it did. Then he's very lucky. People tending to use lists more than once are those who don't care about issues like branding or the reputation of their email infrastructure. They might push an affiliate promotion to a purchased list, take what they get in responses, burn their bridges and move on to the next list using a new set of sending tools. A kind of nomadic slash and burn marketing. Not what most businesses want to be associated with.
So can you ever buy a list safely?
Yes. Lists can change ownership, such as when the parent website owning that list is bought out by another company. That's a specialist situation though, where the list itself (not a copy) is being sold. The seller retains no copy for himself.
But buying a copy of a list - nope, don't do it.
In summary
If somebody does offer to sell and send you a bulk list of email addresses, 99 times out of 100 you're getting a spam list. That's a list of addresses of people who have not agreed to receive messages like yours, or a list of extremely dubious quality.
At best, your messages to that list just elicit a poor response. At worst, you're labeled a spammer, You can end up on a few nice blacklists.
So when you see offers like 1 million addresses for $100, run as fast as your electronic legs can carry you in the opposite direction.

The concept of automotive sequencing originated from the just-in-time initiatives introduced by the automotive manufacturers and their suppliers in the early 1990's. According to AMR Research, automakers are accelerating the sequence requirements. By 2010, more than 70% of a vehicle's content will be sequenced; it is 40% today. Those companies that cannot respond will likely be removed as preferred suppliers. The Bottom Line is that the suppliers need to increase investments in sequencing, lean, and part traceability to meet pending sequencing requirements .Depending on the manufacturer, the sequencing requirement is referred to by many different names and acronyms, such as ILVS (In-Line Vehicle Sequencing), SPD (Sequenced Parts Delivery) and Just-In-Sequence.
The essence of automotive sequencing is for suppliers to deliver parts to the manufacturers just in time, and also in the proper build sequence, as requested by the customers. Generally, sequencing maximizes manufacturer's floor space, decreases the time a consumer waits for their new vehicle, and reduces the inventory levels being carried by manufacturer and supplier. Sequencing covers a number of components including doors, quarter panels, overhead systems, seats, wheels, glass, bumpers, exhaust systems,axles, and even engines. Sequencing optimizes production efficiency while also reducing waste and parts storage space.

We are basically unconscious beings. On that one premise, alone reams of unsurpassed power in absolute knowing are elicited. When the unconscious speaks, (still small voice) it rattles the foundation. I think you would agree, too little of hearing what the unconscious has to say takes place on a daily basis. Bottom line: the more we don't have a clue, the more definitely we know what to do. But, in order to hear the still small voice of the unconscious, we must cease talking so wide and so loose.
Writing is a much more verifiable way to still the waters in our overly anxious talkative nature. When we write, (just like what I'm doing this very minute), we solicit from the unconscious significant guidance. That is IF we suspend judgment and interpretation. Sigmund Freud had a little to say about this in the primary process of psycho-analytic probing exploration. Writing frees the mind and ruthless soul to express its contents. Jumbled and unclear as the words may be at first, in time and with much concentrated, dedicated, controlled disciplined practice, the need to talk so much becomes less expedient.

TC TO ERNEST JONES ; 20 October 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18591020-TC-EJO-01; CL 35: 234-235
5. Cheyne Row, Chelsea 20 Octr 1859—
I am heartily sorry to hear of the misfortunes that have fallen upon you:1 misfortunes some of them which provoke one's indignation; others of them to be received with silent sorrow, and acquiescence in the inevitable:—in all, surely, a heavy lot for a man! Nor in regard to your most irritating and probably bitterest griefs, is there much consolation for me in considering from what source they mostly sprang. I must not hide from you my own private opinion, fixed enough this long while, and growing yearly more so, that of all the Causes to which an Englishman of real faculty in these years could devote himself, the Cause of "Chartism" is the least likely to prove beneficial, however honestly gone into.2
I have seen little of your Poetry or other Writings, being indeed much out of the way of all such things, in late years: but I have gathered the belief that you are a loyal-hearted, valiant man, placed in circumstances too perverse for you hitherto; that you have experienced villainy from the villainous; and that you deserve the sympathy of honest neighbours. Fain wd I augur for you, too, a field more worthy of your faculties in the coming years. But this must be as it can.
From a small fund at my disposal, I inclose for you the Bank-Cheque whh is here;3—much wishing it might help to lighten your distresses, and clear away some incumbrances from the path of a suffering meritorious man. To me you owe no thanks for it; only, please, return the inclosed Cover, as a sign that it has come to hand.
With sincere good wishes, in which you might believe if these availed anything,
I remain / Yours very truly / T. Carlyle
Ernest Jones Esq

Balanced Scoring Gives No. 10 UMass Women's Lacrosse 19-6 Win At Iona
March 1, 2014
NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. - Paced by four goals from Sam Rush and three from Erika Eipp, the No. 10 UMass women's lacrosse team defeated Iona 19-6 on Saturday afternoon. A total of 12 different Minutewomen scored in the game as UMass improved to 5-0 on the year.
Rush finished the day with two assists giving her a game-high six points. Her four goals moved her into seventh all-time at UMass with 123 career goals. Eipp added an assist for a four-point game. The three goals on the afternoon give her seven for the week after scoring four in the win over Boston University.
Katie Ferris and Tanner Guarino each had two goals in the game, while Nicole Troost, Courtney McGrath, Katie Ott, Rory Sadoff, Callie Santos, Maddie Ward, Amy Tiernan and Eileen McDonald each tallied a goal.
The tandem of Kelsey McGovern and Hannah Murphy combined to win 13 draw controls (7 for Murphy). UMass won 21-of-27 draws which led to having a majority of possession for the game.
Iona (0-3) was led by a pair of goals from both Casey Palmer and Bernadette Gennaro.
The Minutewomen outshot Iona 39-to-11 for the game and held the Gaels to just 7-of-19 on clearing chances.
Gennaro put Iona on the scoreboard first just 2:29 into the game. UMass scored three straight goals, but Gennaro tallied her second to make it 3-2 with 23:28 to go in the first half.
After UMass scored a pair of goals, Iona netted another to stay within two, 5-3, at the 17:53 mark.
From there, the Minutewomen pulled away with a six goal run over an eight minute span to go up 11-3 with 4:10 before intermission.
After leading 12-4 at halftime, UMass added two more in the first three minutes of the second half to go up 14-4.
Following an Iona goal, UMass potted five consecutive goals as Ward's tally at the 7:20 mark gave the Minutewomen a 19-5 lead.
UMass will have the week off before facing long-time rival New Hampshire next Saturday at McGuirk Stadium. The opening draw is set for 3 PM.

Ammunition cache
Take a barrel of TNT from the Badlands mine. Find the abandoned house in the Badlands where the buffalo graze. Go to the back of the house on the outside. Face the chimney (looking west) and place the TNT barrel on the left side of the chimney. Blow up the TNT barrel to open a hole in the ground with ammunition for all weapons. The ammunition will reappear over time after you leave the area.
Whiskey cache
Go to Dodge City. Go to the lower part of the bridge. Follow the path on the other side to reach a beach cave. Look inside for whiskey which will reappear over time after you leave the area. Note: The cave also contains ammunition and money.
Go to the Indian Hunter's hut, which you can find on your map. Once there, go to the building to the left of the hut, with the stairs going up the side. Go up the first set of stairs, and continue going straight. You should see a spout-type object coming out of the side of the building. Jump onto that spout, and walk toward the wall of the building. If done correctly, you should go through the wall, and into the inside of the house. There is only a small ledge for you to drop onto inside, so move slowly. Once inside, look to your left and you should see three whiskey bottles on the ground. You can pick these up as many times as desired and they will never go away.
For unlimited health, go to Hecht Ranch. Go to the shack next to the windmill. There you will find three whiskey bottles to restore your health.
Defeating Hollister
Sneak up on him and shoot him once. Then, run off and get behind a rock on top of risen ground in the middle of the arena. When he is circling the rock your are behind, you should also circle as well. He will eventually stop and yell at you to come out. He should pace back and forth slowly while you hide behind your rock. When he stops and is not facing you, shoot him in the head. Perform this until the point that he becomes too smart to fall for it again. By then his health should be low enough so that you can run out and keep shooting while strafing. After you have gotten his health down all the way there will be a intermission sequence. Look at your compass at the bottom of the screen. He is the red dot. Find him and he will run at you. Run, but keep firing at him with your pistols and he will blow up.
Use Quickdraw with your Dual Peacemakers and he will explode.
It would help if you have purchased the shotgun speed loader, extra shotgun ammunition capacity, and the extra health slot upgrades. When you start the fight. Hollister knows where you are. Sneak up into the rocks. He will not know where you are until you reveal yourself for the first time. Once you do, he will know where you are for the rest of the fight. Keeping that in mind, sneak up on him without being seen with your shotgun equipped and fully loaded. Once you are behind him, get as close as you can without being seen, as shotguns do the most damage when up close. Then, just fire away with your shotgun as fast as possible. Do not forget to drink your whiskey when your health gets low. Note: This works under the normal and easy difficulty settings with no shotgun upgrades purchased.
Defeating Reed
Never let Reed out of your sight. If he is by himself and you cannot see him, he gains life.
This is very difficult at first. Before you start the mission, go back to Empire City and Dodge City and get as many weapon upgrades as possible. Do about 60 to 70 percent of the side missions beforehand. Use the upgrades for mostly the rifle and bow, and the health upgrade for your horse. Once you bring these stats up, go to the mission and defeat Hollister again. Then, defeat Magruder's riders. Once that is done, open the safe and Reed will show up. You will start behind a rock. Take out the newly acquired rifle obtained from Hollister, get on the horse to the left, and chase after him. Keep shooting him. It will take about three minutes to kill him. Do not lose sight of him, or his health will go up.
New Game +
Complete the game and return to the starting area (Blackfoot Territory). From the LEFT of the HIGHER boulder leading up to a ledge and gap, jump and spur your horse so it lands on top, then onto the ledge. Cross the next two areas. Stand between the only two rocks in the water. Press and hold LB+LT+RB+RT+A for a few seconds until you hear a strange sound. Go to Options (press [Start]),for a new selection - GUN. Choose any Mission or Cutscene. You will retain ALL weapons, items, and skills.

Just pointless :-)) As usual...This is from info file :-- cut -- By default, `tar' uses an archive file name that was compiled whenit was built on the system; usually this name refers to some physicaltape drive on the machine. However, the person who installed `tar' onthe system may not set the default to a meaningful value as far as mostusers are concerned. As a result, you will usually want to tell `tar'where to find (or create) the archive. The `--file=ARCHIVE-NAME' (`-fARCHIVE-NAME') option allows you to either specify or name a file touse as the archive instead of the default archive file location.[skipped] If you use `-' as an ARCHIVE-NAME, `tar' reads the archive fromstandard input (when listing or extracting files), or writes it tostandard output (when creating an archive). If you use `-' as anARCHIVE-NAME when modifying an archive, `tar' reads the originalarchive from its standard input and writes the entire new archive toits standard output.-- cut --and this is from `tar --help` output:-- cut --ARCHIVE may be FILE, HOST:FILE or USER@HOST:FILE; and FILE may be a fileor a device. *This* `tar' defaults to `-f- -b20'.-- cut --Default name for file is compile-time options and most distributions have itset as "-" (standard input/output)...-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to email@example.com read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
