Another Dine With A Doc scheduled for April 5
LAWRENCEVILLE - Dr. Larry Lilly, author of "Outrageious Forgiveness in 30 Days," will be the guest speaker of this month's Lawrence County Dine With A Doc program.
Dine With A Doc is set for 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. April 5 at the Lawrence County Senior Citizens Center located at 1705 12th Street in Lawrenceville.
Dine With A Doc is a free program that welcomes the local senior public to getting to hear an educational topic while enjoying a complimentary lunch.
This program is a community effort of a doctor, a lunch sponsor, the senior citizens, local churches and area businesses coming together for the good of all to serve the senior citizens.
Larry Lilly was born in Havre de Grace, Md. Sept. 13, 1941. He is the fifth of nine children. He was educated in the Cecil County school system to the consternation of many teachers. Additional studies at Maryland Bible Institute, Doctor of Divinity Faith Seminary (Honorary).
Lilly is in his 47th year of marriage to the former Joyce Gore, they have four children, Jeanne (Frank) Jennifer, Dawn, and Dr. Jonathan Lilly (Stephanie). He has pastored churches for 49 years, served in Kiwanis clubs, President of Premier Toastmasters, and is a Paul Harris Fellow of Rotary International. He currently publishes a daily Internet letter; the monthly printed Larry Lilly's Journal featuring help for prisoners and also conducts extensive correspondence with prisoners on Death Row. The prison ministry is an offshoot of his own experience in Federal Prison.
In 2011 his book "Outrageous Forgiveness In 30 Days" was published by West Bow Press.
"Outrageous Forgiveness in 30 Days" will encourage releasing the burden of bitterness against those who sin against you. When Christians start forgiving others as Jesus taught, the world will be the beneficiary of the greatest revival in history.
Lilly has been the pastor of Berean Baptist Church in Terre Haute, Ind., since June of 1990.
The complementary meal is provided by ARCH Active Recovery Center of Olney.
Seniors are asked to call 943-2177 to make a reservation to the program.

Welcome to part two of the 2009 NFL Running Back Battles To Watch. Yesterday we looked at a bunch of great backs including – but not limited to – the Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts and the Carolina Panthers.
Today we'll be looking at some more interesting backfield situations and seeing what they might mean for their respective teams.
We'll start off with a team that has a clear-cut number one back but also some questions as to what to do if he cannot carry the full load over the course of the 2009 season.
We all think Maurice Jones-Drew aka 'The Human Bowling Ball' aka 'The Bad Little Man' will be the bell cow here and get most if not all the work. The man can do it all and despite his size, usually stays healthy. With no Fred Taylor, he should get every carry Freddy used to get, right?
Well, yes and no. While MJD is a stud and the offensive line is much healthier and better than 2008's version, the Jaguars will by no means risk burning out Jones-Drew before the playoffs. I expect one of the backs behind him to get a fair share of carries as well.
Note that I am not saying they will cut significantly into his totes – but that it will factor in and probably in a good way.
Former USC tailback Chauncey Washington patiently waited for his shot, but now has to hold off former Liberty stud Rashad Jennings a guy who improbably fell to the Jags in the seventh round – something I still can't figure out.
Both players have the ability to fill in for MJD but despite being a USC Homer, I like Jennings better. He can catch, he can slide into holes but he has decent size. Matt Waldman of the Rookie Scouting Portfolio and footballguys.com said it best; 'what you should know about Jennings is that he's a bigger back with finesse'.
That size combined with the skills Waldman alludes to make him a very attractive compliment to Jones-Drew and a guy to watch for long term on his own as well.
Jennings has some issues finishing a run and will need to improve that if he wants to catch Washington.
And lest we forget, Greg Jones has been occasionally stud-like when he has had a shot in the past and is a great 3rd down back. Jones has never quite been the same since a knee injury and is often hurt.
Who ends up spelling MJD could have some real value for fantasy owners and Jags fans. It should be a horse race between these three.
New Orleans
Will Reggie Bush stay healthy? Will Pierre Thomas? Who gets the ball on third downs and at the goal line?
Big questions for an offense which needs to improve it's run game to take some pressure off the pass game. It looks like Thomas has the between-the-tackles work locked down while Bush will continue to play scat-back.
But both have some injury questions (Bush his legs and Thomas' wrist) so the Saints have journeyman Mike Bell, second year player Lynell Hamilton, and undrafted free agents P.J. Hill and Herb Donaldson.
Mike Bell has played well in camp so far but don't discount the rookies. The Saints went hard into the street free agent market post-draft so they clearly have some concerns with the tailback position.
Bell has played well before and then faltered. Hill has some serious character concerns but seems to realize he screwed up and is motivated to prove he has the ability and maturity to make an impact. All three are big backs, something the Saints lost when they let Deuce McAllister go.
It will be interesting to see if any can make ground on Thomas and given the injury issues (for both Thomas and Bush) and Thomas' size, one of these guys could see action this season.
With Brian Westbrook banged up again (What? Stop lying Garda! NEVER!) every Eagles fan – and many, MANY fantasy football owners – want to know who to grab for this year's version of Westbrook Insurance.
Aside: Should Westbrook and/or the Iggles talk to Geico about a sponsorship? I mean, in these troubled economic times, shouldn't a club be looking for cash wherever they can?
I'm not saying, but I am just saying is all.
But all shenanigans aside who backs Westy up resonates hard an long amongst the NFL community of fans and it goes beyond fantasy football folks. As much as I like the receivers and the passing offense this year, they need the run game hitting on all cylinders.
With the very real possibility that the last two years of 15 games might have been an illusion in terms Westy's health the Eagles need to know they can throw another guy in there and crank out the yards effectively.
Which leaves you with this question: LeSean McCoy or Lorenzo Booker?
Booker was a guy who I had high hopes for coming to Philadelphia last season after being virtually ignored by Miami previously. With his ability to catch the ball and his general shifty running style, I thought Lo-Book was going to get some traction finally but sadly that didn't happen.
Booker barely saw the field and then the team went and drafted LeSean 'Shady' McCoy who is plays very similarly to Westbrook's game. And while a tad undersized, McCoy plays tough and isn't afraid of contact.
It will be a battle in the most literal sense and no other fracas may impact the whole offense of a team like this one. If they cannot move the ball on the ground – and lack a player at the RB spot who can catch the ball as effectively as Westy – defenses could key heavily on the pass game.
San Francisco
I spent a lot of time the past few months looking oer the 49ers and there are a ton of questions surrounding this run game and what it could be.
New offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye keeps saying this will not be a run heavy playbook, but if you look at his resume, he's definitely developed some very strong rushing attacks. So does that mean Raye is tossing some disinformation out there?
Maybe not.
The 49ers often run a game where a strong rushing attack sets up a vertical passing attack. It hasn't worked well for many reasons – not the least of which is the lack of a permanent solution at quarterback.
So it isn't far fetched that Raye is being truthful – a rarity in today's NFL it seems. With the weapons at both running back and wide receiver, the Niners are set up to have an effective attack from either direction.
We know Frank Gore is the stud-bell cow-big dawg-whatever you call it in the backfield. But he cannot do it alone as we saw when he wore down last season.
So who is the backup who could share in his carries? A great question as the backs behind him all have questions.
Michael Robinson has functioned more as a fullback and special-teamer and while Thomas Clayton tends to shine in preseason games, he hasn't played worth a tinker's damn during the season. Neither of them have quite been able to give the team a consistent and safe backup to Gore in the past few years.
Two rookies – third round pick Glenn Coffee and street free agent Kory Sheets – have a shot at spelling Gore. Coffee is a solid one cut runner with great vision, who can aggressively attack the hole. He's a powerful runner who could help the short yardage game, something that occasionally struggled in 2008.
Sheets has great acceleration and burst and is a very good receiver out of the backfield. He can be very elusive and shows patience behind the line with good vision and instincts. I think he could emerge as a nice compliment to Gore in the vein of a Leon Washington or Reggie Bush.
Adding Sheets as an extra weapon is nice, but ultimately the 49ers need to get someone to consistently and reliably spell Gore to save him for a potential run at a playoff spot this year.
Somehow the Seahawks ended the draft without a replacement for the long departed Shaun Alexander, instead relying on Julius Jones and TJ Duckett for a solution at the running back position.
I can't say I am enthusiastic about that, however I am cautiously optimistic.
With a healthy pass game – which they lacked from the get-go last season – the Hawks could find themselves in possession of a consistent though not spectacular rushing attack.
Julius Jones has shown some skills in the past and will probably make a good two-down runner for the team, getting a lift from a new zone-blocking scheme which he fits into well. However, even though he was the top running back for Seattle last season, he was pretty inconsistent and has to correct that if the team is to depend upon him.
People keep talking each season about how this is TJ Duckett's time to shine, but I haven't heard a lot of that yet this off-season. Maybe that bodes well for the former Falcon/Redskin/Lion. He has always possessed a nose for the end zone and he'll get most of the redzone/end zone looks in my opinion – at least when the team isn't throwing the ball to Houshmandzadeh or second year tight end John Carlson.
The question – aside from will Edgerrin James or Duece McAllister sign prior to the season – I am asking is where do guys like Justin Forsett end up? If Duckett is more suited to the short yardage/goal line role, will Forsett a second year man out of California, end up as Jones' backup? Or will he be relegated to special teams?
I want to watch this battle closely as teams all know the Seahawks are gearing up to throw the ball a lot. So who ends up running the ball is of paramount importance. If they cannot move the ball on the ground, the wide receivers may find it very tough to get room to work in the secondary.
That's it for now – if you don't hear from me in a few days, have someone send a cop to check on me. I might be buried under an avalanche of moving boxes.

As the cold months of a Vermont winter approach, pet owners must be aware of the changes in their fuzzy friends habits. Outdoor cats tend to want to be indoors more of the time. If you have several, like myself, you notice that food supplies dwindle a lot faster as they try to beef up (no pun intended) to stay warm. The feline community toilet (litter box) has to be scooped more often. You will find your cat sleeping in strange places in weird positions for very extended periods of time. Some cats like the sink, others prefer large house plants. Now is your chance to get soft belly rubs without getting your hands scarred for weeks.
It is a nice time of year for bonding for sure, but the winter brings new dangers to look out for as well. Always make sure your kitties (and other pet pals) have a warm place to take haven on really cold nights. If you don't have a way to get them inside already, try establishing a routine with bells and treats. Cats respond well to daily food rituals. If they hear a bell chiming and make the association with snacks or dinner (which they will over repeated tries), they'll learn to come running. Otherwise, a stubborn cat may try to tough out a freezing night outside before getting his nightly freedom revoked.
If you know your cat likes to hang around cars, be sure to check around for them before warming the engine. Watch out for antifreeze as well; cats, dogs and maybe free roaming pet hamsters might try to lick up the sweet tasting poison. Rock salt, chemical ice melts, and leaking oil can also be dangerous encounters. Be careful plowing your driveway too; cats and other small animals have been known to burrow in snow piles to stay out of the cold wind.
Inside your home, you should be aware of open flames and hot surfaces from your fireplace, space heaters, and other heating devices. I have a cat who burned some hair off of her belly because she stood over a burning candle; you never know what to expect.
Make sure to give them lots of love and play time as well; our pets get cabin fever too when the snow keeps them snuggled up in bed. Just like any season, getting to know your pet's habits will help you to take better care of them and be a better friend.

WASHINGTON For years, President Bush and his advisers expressed frustration that the White House received little credit for the nation's strong economic performance because of public discontent over the Iraq war. Today, the president is getting little credit for improved security in Iraq, as the public increasingly focuses on a struggling U.S. economy.
That is the dilemma Bush faces as he prepares to deliver his seventh and final State of the Union address tonight. For the first time in four years, the president will come before Congress able to report some progress in tamping down violence in Iraq. Yet the public appears to have moved on from the war and possibly from Bush himself.
The economy has supplanted Iraq as the top public concern, and with voters shifting their focus toward the presidential primaries, Bush faces a steep challenge in persuading Americans to heed his words on the war, economic policy or any other issue, according to administration officials, lawmakers and outside observers.
"Very large segments of the American people have written him off already and have moved on to the next chapter," said Jeremy Rosner, a onetime Clinton White House aide and Democratic pollster. Even some of the Republican presidential candidates appear eager to distance themselves from the president.
White House officials and their allies argue that the turmoil in the nation's housing and financial markets provides Bush a new opportunity to lead, especially given his newfound alliance on an economic stimulus plan with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who will be sitting behind the president in the House chamber tonight.
"I do think people will pay attention," said Ken Duberstein, who served as White House chief of staff in the final year of President Reagan's two terms. "They are looking for leadership and they are looking for Washington to do something."

As all of you must be aware, the World Lacrosse Championships will be held in Denver (USA) from the 10th to the 19th of July 2014, and the French lacrosse national team will take part in this international tournament. No less than 23 players will therefore travel to Colorado this upcoming summer with only one goal in mind, to proudly represent their country. But in order to achieve such a thing, they must first find a way to make it to the Land of the Free!
In our country, lacrosse is a brand new sport, the French lacrosse governing body is only an association, and not a federation. Under French law, a sport is required to have a certain number of players in order to be granted the legal status of federation. And this is an issue of concern because only federations are eligible for governmental subsidies. As a matter of fact, players have to finance their trip to Denver on their own, and even if they are more than willing to do so, it turns out to be rather costly. Indeed, each French national player has to pay an approximate sum of 3000€ ($4,138) which can be broken down as follows:
- 1000€ ($1,379) for a roundtrip plane ticket
- 1500€ ($2,068) for tournament fees (lodging, food and inscription fees)
- 500€ ($690) for the equipment
But when there is a will, there is a way! In fact, there are 4 ways for you to support the French national team and help its players to get to Denver.
1) You can either donate money to our crowd funding page on GoFundMe.com (you will get a free, France lacrosse polo if you donate at least 50€/$69).
2) But you can also buy a Grow the Game t-shirt! All proceeds greater than $15 per tee will be donated directly to the International team of your choice, but you seriously should think about choosing France!
3) Feeling like you need a new pair of shirts ? A polo, a t shirt or even maybe a pinnie ? By purchasing any of those, you will help in raising funds!
4) But I saved the best for last: our Ride the Coq shorts! In French, coq means rooster, and the latter is none other than the French national emblem.
Thank you for your time, and for your generosity!

Charges filed in deadly Lenexa shooting
LENEXA, Kan. - A Lenexa man has been charged in last week's deadly Lenexa shooting.
Police arrested 27-year-old Alex Brune late Wednesday night on two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the death of 78-year-old Clifford E. Preston and his 47-year-old step-son Brian Stewart Baskind. (EDITOR'S NOTE: There have been two spellings listed of Brian's last name. Baskind is what is listed on the incident report from the Lenexa Police.)
Brune faces two charges of first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated robbery and one count of aggravated burglary.
The shooting happened near 84th and Hallet Street the evening of July 9. Another man was wounded and called the police shortly after 10 p.m. Police found him outside the home where Preston and Stewart were found dead. He was transported to an area hospital in serious condition.
It was not clear if the person wounded was Brune.
Police records show it took officers four minutes to find the wounded man. He told officers whoever shot him was still inside the house.
Here is the dispatch audio:
Brune faced a judge for the first time on Thursday afternoon via a video link. His torso was wrapped in bandages. Family members of Preston and Baskind were also in the courtroom. Outside, one of them said both men "didn't deserve what they got."
Brune is currently being held on a $2 million bond.
These are the first two homicides of the year in Lenexa. In the last nine years, the city has had only nine homicides.

Leading evangelical Christian theologian, commentator talks about future of ministry, society
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
Leading conservative Christian theologian, educator and minister Albert Mohler Jr. says he first considered a career in law and politics. "I wanted to go where the ideas were most interesting and (where) I thought the opportunity to shape culture and lives was most direct," he said.
But growing up in a home where the local Southern Baptist church in Lakeland and later Pompano Beach, Fla., was the central focus in life, Mohler realized his most exhilarating ideas were rooted in his faith. He also experienced what he called a life-changing recognition of the "short-term impact of politics and the long-term impact of the gospel."
"I was at my church so much and enjoyed it so much that I imagined doing what the pastor did, and it struck me, 'This must be what a call to the ministry looks like.' I talked to all the people who would know and they said, 'Yes, that's exactly it,' " he recalled.
More than 30 years after that decision, Mohler has maintained his passion for interesting ideas, a keen interest in politics and a sense of mission about taking on contemporary culture from a conservative Christian worldview. In addition to his duties as president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Mohler produces a daily podcast on current news and events, writes regular commentary posted on a personal blog, and fits in interviews with leading thinkers for his periodic "Thinking in Public" podcast. He also tweets several times a day to his nearly 70,000 Twitter followers.
"I don't sleep a whole lot," he said in an interview Tuesday at the end of a two-day visit to Utah, where he met with leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and spoke at Brigham Young University. Described in the popular press as an articulate voice and intellectual leader of evangelical Christianity, Mohler spends about one-third of the year traveling to speak and lecture. "Another strategic time for me to work is on airplanes," he said, explaining how he gets it all done.
At the end of a day of meetings with LDS Church leaders — and before spending an evening with young evangelical church planters in Salt Lake City — Mohler shared his views on the next generation of evangelicals and the challenges an increasingly secular society poses for religion in America.
In your speech at Brigham Young University, you talked about a "breakdown in the immune system of human society." Elaborate on that analogy and what is causing the breakdown.
What I mean to depict is an individual has an immune system that's necessary to fend off things of which we are not even aware. Illness is a breach of that immunity system. We have rather intentionally lowered the resistance level in our society to some very dangerous developments, and we find ourselves in a situation of enormous and fairly radical moral change.
What's at stake are the most basic institutions of human life and basic moral instincts and intuitions that make social life possible and lead to human happiness and human flourishing. I want to affirm that marriage and the family were given by God to human beings as two of his greatest gifts. Anything that weakens or redefines or subverts those gifts will lead to profound human unhappiness.
What do you see as posing the biggest threat to marriage: divorce of heterosexual couples or same-sex marriage?
I don't think I can answer the question in those terms. I will say this: Divorce has done far more damage to human lives than same-sex marriage has. ... Same-sex marriage is different in that divorce, if society decided to address it, can at least be remedied not by changing the institution (of marriage) but by returning to it — by returning to the notion of enduring monogamy as the expectation and the enduring nature of the marriage covenant. Same-sex marriage changes that because it actually redefines what the institution is.

Written by Markus Robinson, Edited by Nicole I. Ashland
Markus Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rated R for language including sexual references, and for teen drug and alcohol use
There's not much more praise I can heap on a movie everyone and their mother has already touted as this year's Academy Award winner for Best Picture, so I'll keep my review relatively short…. I mean, for a film that was nearly 3 hours.
Described on IMDb as "The life of a young man, Mason, from age 5 to age 18", the plot is simple beyond belief. But when writer/director Richard Linklater uses the same actors throughout, actually filming the main character (played by Ellar Coltrane) and his supporting cast (most notably: Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke and Linklaters own daughter, Lorelei) at specific ages during an actual 12 year span to tell this story, his concept begins to distinguish itself from the pack. That said, great premises and concepts are a dime a dozen. Every year there are oodles of films, all with infinite potential and only after you've paid your $11, do you realize that the only thing "Beasts of the Southern Wild" had going for it was its premise. So, going into this screening, with the amount of critical praise "Boyhood" had been receiving, I was hoping beyond hope that it was more steak than sizzle…In short: It was.
Profoundly touching, insightful and genuine ("genuine" being the key word) "Boyhood" addresses the mountain of issues which afflict adolescent males, without (for the most part) seeming forced or contrived. In fact, I think people will be stunned at how uncontrived and unsaturated with explosive watershed moments (usually built into a film with the sole purpose of manufacturing pathos) this film has. And it's those genuine moments and small touches of reality throughout, which allow it to connect with audiences despite the lack of cancer revelations or sudden deaths.
It's not really a surprise Linklater would come out with a movie like this, since the structure of "Boyhood" is wildly similar to that of the "Before Sunrise" series, only condensed into one film and chronicling male adolescence. With smile inducing song selections, hair styles and obviously the inevitable aging of the actors, to show the passage of time, there are really no words to describe the technical brilliance of this film. "Boyhood" is not just an example of Linklater resting on his fantastic premise. He also displays why he's such an acclaimed filmmaker, as he puts on a masterclass in camera technique, sequence and shot selection.
Final Thought/One Month Later: When I first saw this a month ago, I fell in love with it as a near flawless film. Now, that I write my review, and more importantly have allowed this cinematic experience to marinate, I can see that the even though Linklater has made a film which is technically innovative, with an initial two hours of emotional perfection, the flaws within the final 30 minutes of "Boyhood" are there and should be noted. The final act does display a bit too much of Linklater's hippy sensibility, as Mason (now 18) spends nearly every second of the final 30-40 minutes (the movie is 2 hours and 45 minutes) engaged in long and distracting diatribes, pontificating on the meaning of life. Those who disagree with my lack of enjoyment with this final stage might claim that this section of the film was not a misstep, but in fact a logical progression since the latter teenage years are usually when young men begin to seek answers for life's unknowable questions. That said, I don't believe that I am nitpicking when I say that while it may be realistic, Linklater's final act made for a repetitive and whiny finale to my viewing experience. On the other hand (and this may sound like an odd thing to say) in the case of "Boyhood", the ending may not even matter, since by that point a majority of audiences would have built such a fiercely emotional connection to these wildly relatable characters, that any ending could have been tacked on and "Boyhood" would've still been worth the price of admission.

Could we use mongoloid with reference to Down's syndrome in informal English?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
No, don't use use mongoloid to refer to Down's syndrome in any form of English, it's offensive.
The Downs Syndrome Association advise the media of What To Say / Not Say, including:
Down's Syndrome Scotland recently issued a statement, this is much more relevant to informal English, and I'll quote it in full:
Read more about disablist language from Richard Herring.
Wiktionary refers to such usage as dated or offensive:
I would say no, don't use the term, in informal English or elsewhere, for such reference.
In what context are you referring to someone with Down syndrome? When referring to a person you use the pronouns him/her, he/she, they, etc. When you are referring to the fact that the person has Down syndrome you would say "Tom has Down syndrome" or "Tom has Trisomy 21".
Calling someone or referring to them as a mongoloid is dated and offensive (similar to calling an African American person a negro.)
The following cases would make it sensible to use that term that way:
If any of the above are true, it would make perfect sense to use that word in that sense. In the case of writing fictional character's speech, take care that people don't confuse their speech with yours.
If you break down the word "Mongoliod", it is "Mongol"-which refers the main ethnic group in Mongolia (By the way I am a Mongol myself) and second part "-oid" which means resembling. So the actual word becomes "resembling a Mongol person". And if you refer this word to people with down syndrome, that is politically, racially, and physically very offensive to Mongolians.
I don't believe it should be used in reference to someone with Down's Syndrome. I know it was accepted at one time, but language changes. Devo used as the theme of a song, but I believe they were trying to say that words are just words and people should not put so much emotion into them. In the song, the person has a job and a family and sees the world through clearer eyes than the rest of us. The song had more clout using that word, but in ordinary social situations it a place where you should not verbally go.

Hazard Management
The Area being Modelled is :-
A Database for Hazard Management
The Requirements have been defined by Jim Schnedar.
Subject: Data Model Design
Question: Barry, We have several investigation mediums that produce recommendations.
We have a hazard report, inspection, or accident report.
Note that Barry has called these Events in the Data Model.
Any of these work products (that is Events)may generate one or more recommendations.
The following rules apply:
1. For the most part the recommendations are similar across the work products (fifteen fields in common),
but there are some minor differences.
For example, an accident report, a finding event is recorded as to the reason for the recommendation.
2. A recommendation may be due to an identified hazard (gravel on a sidewalk) or deficiency (exit sign not posted).
3. A hazard garners a risk assignment (probability/severity/quantified result) and interim control measures
(single free-form field) whereas a deficiency does not have either.
4. Recommendations from the originating report must be "preserved".
That is, after completion of the work product, then the recommendations are worked.
When worked, there is a status (open/awaiting closure/closed),
resolution path (re-design, safety device, warning, device, procedure changes, etc.), progress monitor
(how far along are you on fixing the issue), and record of closure approval.
5. An accident report has a special QC that occurs.
Therefore, the original accident report recommendations are "preserved",
they are QC'd and may change, in which the nature of the result (no change, changed, admin change, deleted),
reason for change, and person responsible for approving change. Our team has spent many hours flopping back and forth across designs.
Do we:
1. Have a recommendation supertype table with subtypes for accident report,
hazard report, inspection, accident report QC, and In Work recommendations?
2. Have one common recommendation table with map tables from each work product
to the common recommendation table? Do the map tables contain unique work product
data (i.e. accident report QC unique data items)?
3. Have one common recommendation table with all attributes for all work products?
If so, map tables or individual foreign keys from common recommendation to each work product.
4. Have a recommendation table for each work product?
I would be happy to send any more information or proposed ER Diagrams.
Any input you have is greatly appreciated.
Jim Schnedar
Barry has defined the 'Things of Interest' as follows :-
A.1 Hazards
A.2 Recommendations
A.3 Reports
A.4 Others To Be Determined

Tournament bracket
LOS ANGELES -- Stanford women's soccer season ended in the third round of the NCAA tournament, with a 2-0 loss to UCLA on Sunday at Drake Stadium.
UCLA (20-1-2), the Pac-12 champion and No. 2-ranked team, got goals from Kodi Lavrusky in the 13th minute and Taylor Smith in the 85th to eliminate the Cardinal. This was their fourth NCAA meeting in five years, but it was the Bruins' first tournament victory in the series.
The result ended Stanford's hope of a sixth consecutive appearance in the College Cup, soccer's equivalent of the Final Four. However, Stanford did advance to the third round for the eighth consecutive season.
No. 17-ranked Stanford (15-6-1) forced three saves from UCLA goalkeeper Katelyn Rowland, but was outshot, 8-3. UCLA advances to a quarterfinal match at defending champion North Carolina.
It was the UCLA's second victory of the season over Stanford, following a 2-1 overtime triumph on Oct. 10 at Stanford's Laird Q. Cagan Stadium.
The loss also ended the collegiate careers of fifth-year seniors Courtney Verloo and Aly Gleason. During their five seasons, Stanford combined for a 109-10-6 record and fielded lineups with 12 All-Americans.
Stanford's senior class of Natalie Griffen, Taylor McCann, Emily Oliver, Shelby Payne, and Sydney Payne finished with a four-year record of 84-9-5, making its career winning percentage of .883 the highest in the country among all senior classes, according to research by CollegeSoccer360.com.

Former player Haythem Abid, who played at UCLA from 2006-10, won five straight matches in the singles draw to take home the title, downing Ernesto Escobedo, 6-1, 4-6, 7-5 in Sunday's final. Abid, from Tunisia, was unseeded in the 32-player draw. He is currently ranked No. 748 in the ATP World Tour rankings.
In the men's doubles draw, Bruin junior Marcos Giron teamed with incoming freshman Mackenzie McDonald to win the championship, beating the South African duo of Keith-Patrick Crowley and Matt Fawcett, 6-3, 6-2. Giron and McDonald upset top-seeded Carsten Ball and Daniel Garza in the quarterfinals, 7-5, 3-6, (12-10).
A total of seven former or current UCLA players competed in Costa Mesa last week, as Abid, Giron and McDonald were joined in the draws by Nick Meister, Clay Thompson, Dennis Mkrtchian and Dennis Novikov.

In many traditional societies, learning about your ancestry was a huge part of becoming an adult, of figuring out how you fit into your culture and the grand scheme. Today, many kids don't even have close relationships with their parents, let along grandparents or ancestors. In the absence of strong communities and rituals to help kids mature, how will adolescents find their place? In this video, Malidoma Some and Waylon discuss how boys can become gentlemen (for more on becoming a woman—which doesn't seem to be Waylon or Malidoma's area of expertise—see Dr. Judith Simmer-Brown's interview on the Feminine Principle). Also discussed: how racial tension can actually be helpful, and whether there's a place for age-old spiritual wisdom in the modern world.

BACKGROUND: Little is known about time trends, predictors, and consequences of changes made to antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens early after patients initially start treatment. METHODS: We compared the incidence of, reasons for, and predictors of treatment change within 1 year after starting combination ART (cART), as well as virological and immunological outcomes at 1 year, among 1866 patients from the Swiss HIV Cohort Study who initiated cART during 2000--2001, 2002--2003, or 2004--2005. RESULTS: The durability of initial regimens did not improve over time (P = .15): 48.8% of 625 patients during 2000--2001, 43.8% of 607 during 2002--2003, and 44.3% of 634 during 2004--2005 changed cART within 1 year; reasons for change included intolerance (51.1% of all patients), patient wish (15.4%), physician decision (14.8%), and virological failure (7.1%). An increased probability of treatment change was associated with larger CD4+ cell counts, larger human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA loads, and receipt of regimens that contained stavudine or indinavir/ritonavir, but a decreased probability was associated with receipt of regimens that contained tenofovir. Treatment discontinuation was associated with larger CD4+ cell counts, current use of injection drugs, and receipt of regimens that contained nevirapine. One-year outcomes improved between 2000--2001 and 2004--2005: 84.5% and 92.7% of patients, respectively, reached HIV-1 RNA loads of <50 copies/mL and achieved median increases in CD4+ cell counts of 157.5 and 197.5 cells/microL, respectively (P < .001 for all comparisons). CONCLUSIONS: Virological and immunological outcomes of initial treatments improved between 2000--2001 and 2004--2005, irrespective of uniformly high rates of early changes in treatment across the 3 study intervals.

Star Wars turns 35 this May, and obvs we're already planning our viewing parties. If you want to get nitpicky, ice cubes made with this Han Solo in Carbonite Silicone Ice Tray ($10) are more appropriate for our Empire Strikes Back party in three years, but it's definitely the coolest of Kotobukiya's Star Wars ice cube trays. Now excuse us, we have to spend the next four months coming up with clever themed cocktails to put these suckers in.

I'm going to be buying a 9mm; I plan on shooting several guns before I purchase one to find which one feels right. With that being said, I would love some suggestions and here is my situation:
I have small hands so I'm thinking compact or sub compact
My budget is $500 to $600.
Accuracy, easy operation, and less recoil are VERY important.
Obviously dependability is important.
This gun will be used mostly for range and home defense......today the Supreme Court dropped the ban on CC in IL with some hurdles yet to be jumped over....so conceal carry may be in the picture in 2013 so please consider that in your suggestions.
Thank you in advance for your opinions.

Reviewed by Barbara
Release Format: eBook
Publisher: Self Published
Genre: Historical Romance
Single Title/Series: Single Title
Two men.Cover Thoughts: In truth, I'm not a fan of the cover.
Two murderers.
Two demands for the promised payment of marriage.
Murder, deceit, and fraud pull Lady Arin Keith between these men.
Which one will bed her, claim her...own her?
Origin: Reviewed for Lovin' Me Some Romance. I received a digital copy of this tale from the author in exchange for a honest review.
My Review:
After the tragic death of her sister, Lady Airin's only wish is to see the killer brought to justice. Although she was told the death was a suicide, Airin feels in her heart there is no way her sister would have killed herself. She also knows that the marriage between her sister and brother in-law wasn't going well, either, once her sister found out that she was unable to give him a child.
Airin is convinced that her brother in-law had something to do with the death, but in order to somehow prove his guilt she is going to need time. Her father wishes for her to marry, and in an effort to postpone marriage, Airin concocts what she believes will be a difficult task and it is this: The only man that Airin will marry is the one who finds her grandmother's long lost brooch.
To Airin's surprise, not one, but two men quickly claim that they are the locators of the brooch. This leaves the heroine in a bit of a bind, because not only was she unable to prove her brother in-laws involvement in her sister's death, but her brother in-law happens to be one of the men claiming to have found the brooch!
That's not all, the other man who claims to have found the brooch is known to most as The Scarlet Knight. But to Airin, he is someone else entirely. He is Deryll, the man she fell in love with many years ago. Long before he left for battle and earned his fearsome name.
Her body and heart still yearn for the man she once loved, yet, time has passed, many things have changed and Airin is unsure if he is even the same man she had once loved.
Airin finds herself in a desperate situation. She desires Deryll, but knows if she marries him she may never discover the truth about her sister's death. If she marries her brother in-law, she may very well learn what happened, but she could also end up the next victim.
Final Thoughts:
Murder, mystery and romance intertwine to create "The Pendulum".
The entirety of this tale, although not in the first person, is strictly focused from the heroine's POV. This didn't particularly sit well with me because I found that although I somewhat knew what Airin thought and felt throughout the course of the story, I had no clue what anyone else was truly thinking. Their actions didn't portray their emotions loudly enough for me.
I'll admit, I'm a "what is going on in the hero's mind?" whore. I need to know what he's thinking, what he's feeling, how badly and desperately he needs the heroine. A tale can be written in the first person and still manage to let the reader know what the hero feels--even if only by his actions. However, in this tale, I had absolutely no clue how Deryll truly felt.
The characters, in my opinion, didn't have enough depth to their personalities, either. To the author's credit, you can definitely see that she did try to get Airin's emotions across to the reader, but the attempts lacked the energy and emotion I desperately crave when reading a historical romance.
The only character I felt myself softening too was, ironically, Airin's "evil" brother in-law. There is one scene in the garden when he is talking to Airin about his dead wife, and in that short scene the author managed to portray more emotion than in the entirety of the book.
The plot held promise, but I think due to the lack of emotional connection I felt with the characters the story fell flat.
In closing I would like to say, I'm no editor. I don't get paid to sit here and read stories. I read romance simply because I absolutely love the ride. The up and downs of the emotional roller coaster the characters bring you on can be a powerful thing. Although this story didn't have the intensity of emotion that I desire when reading, there is still something to be said about it.
Three days ago, these characters didn't exist to me. Three days ago, there was no cherished celtic brooch or Scarlet Knight. All of these elements were conjured up simply from the author's mind and I find that fascinating and remarkable. Simply by reading that particular scene in the garden, I know that author has the ability to deliver the sort of emotionally driven romance I like. This particular story wasn't for me, but with each tale penned an author can only get better.
My Rating: 2.5 Stars

Fusing Copper with Hearts

1 Question
As the cost of silver continues to be high and more and more of us are discovering the beauty and versatility of copper, fusing will prove to be an invaluable technique to learn for a variety of applications with copper.
This tutorial is more about "fusing" copper than about making hearts. However, I recommend that you use this heart form to learn the three ways to solderlessly fuse copper that I present in this tutorial. Once you understand the basics, your imagination will lead you to new ways to use fused copper.
Although this tutorial uses a heart to learn these techniques, I hope you will see the possibilities beyond hearts. Fusing opens a whole new world of artistic direction. I've been having a lot of fun trying new things. I wanted to share this, not only to release a tutorial, but to see what great ideas others come up with. I want everyone who is interested in fusing copper and who understands its potential to be successful learning it. This is not like fusing silver.
I will be demonstrating the three hearts in the first picture. Other pictures are a few examples of what can be done with fusing.
This tutorial assumes some experience with a torch and with finishing metal. However, a person who is comfortable and careful with fire can follow along. There are many good resources online to study before you begin using this tutorial. You should learn how to light your torch, adjust the gas and turn off the torch before you begin this. I judge this to be for the intermediate, well rounded jewelry artist.
This pdf is well photographed with over 70 clear, bright photos and video snapshots, 56 steps and 25 pages. The instruction is concise and thorough with do and don'ts; tips and suggestions. I think you will be very happy with your purchase and your new skill.
This tutorial makes hearts approximately 2"/5.1cm in height.
Please make sure to follow all safety instructions that come with your torch.

Australian rapper Iggy Azalea has already taken the music world by storm. Now the "Fancy" rapper will show off her acting skills. According to CBS News on Thursday, Azalea has been cast in "Fast & Furious 7". Vin Diesel broke the news in an interview with SkyrockFM.
Azalea's name came up while the 47-year-old actor was promoting his latest film "Guardians of the Galaxy". He said:
Iggy Azalea and I just worked together two weeks ago. I guess you're the first person to know this. We cast her in 'Fast & Furious 7'. She had a cameo in it."
Not only did Vin Diesel spoil the news, another star of the movie also confirmed working with Azalea on set. "Fast & Furious 7" co-star Michelle Rodriguez tweeted out a picture of the two from the set, tweeting:
Azalea nice workin with you, love to see you in concert. Respect yesterday's set was so hot in the desert, You Rock."
It appears to be just a cameo role, but fans of the Australian sensation and the action movie franchise will have to wait to see how big a role Azalea plays in the sequel when it hits theaters April 3, 2015. In the meantime, Azalea is celebrating a big year. Not only does she continue to top the Billboard charts with "Fancy", she has seven VMA nominations and a hosting gig for MTV's "House of Style".
Although her rapid success has sparked a feud with hip-hop queen Nicki Minaj, Azalea remains focused on doing her thing, especially in the field of rap. She has two collaborations that are making some noise. The new single "Black Widow", a track she is featured on with Rita Ora, is rising on the rap charts with 59,000 digital downloads, as her collaboration with T.I. continues to rise as well. "No Mediocre" has moved from spots 12 to 8 on the charts and has become T.I.'s 23rd top 10 on the Rap Airplay chart. Azalea is everywhere, and it seems to be just be the beginning of her stardom.


text: Ok, so... I am looking for a few guns to suggest to my wife for her to look at and decide. We are going to a gun show in a few weeks for her to get her hands on a bunch of guns and see what she really likes and I would like to get some ideas on what to look at. I am looking for a full size 9mm handgun. Something that is a tad bit thinner than a Glock because she has smaller hands. Max price is about $500. Any ideas?

Recently I have been leveling up a new character – a night elf druid. The other day, as I dealt with the Defias Brotherhood in Westfall collecting red bandanas, one of the Defias dropped some Darnassian Bleu.
Now, while Darnassian Bleu doesn't have much in the way of benefits for a druid, as a Tauren Chef it made me think. Hmmm, wouldn't it be great to know how to make your own cheese? Especially in the event of a life-as-we-know-it-is-ending apocalypse (such as the destruction of the Sunwell) that sort of knowledge would be nice to have.
During my research at the grocery store and on the internet I came across a site that gives easy to understand instructions for how to make your own cheese at home.
The recipes were written by David B. Fankhauser, Ph.D. who is Professor of Biology and Chemistry at the University of Cincinnati Clermont College in Batavia, Ohio. He also has a very informative site on homemade cheese (and so much more) titled Fankhauser's Cheese Page.
He has cheese recipes, cheese videos, recipes for home made root beer, ginger ale, limoncello (an Italian aperitif liqueur,) and other items of interest too numerous to list. And yes, he does have a recipe for Blue cheese, though I don't believe it is Darnassian Bleu.
His cheese recipes use rennet tablets from the Junket Company, which sounds like a good idea. They are very inexpensive and apparently quite reliable. I bought some today, but I haven't tried them out in any recipes yet.
Of course, if you are a purist, you can always do it the old-fashioned way and use a small piece of salted and dried abomasum. (According to Dr. Fankhauser, an abomasum is the last of the four chambers of the stomach of a ruminant animal. The abomasum from a suckling kid or calf was apparently very good for making cheese.)
Or, you can always buy cheese at the store . . .

Quarterback Kory Faulkner
Aug 17, 2013
CARBONDALE, Ill. - The offense rebounded for a much stronger performance in the Saluki football team's second preseason scrimmage of the season Saturday morning at Saluki Stadium. After the defense dominated the first scrimmage, Coach Dale Lennon was encouraged by what he saw offensively in the second scrimmage.
"Today was a big step forward," Lennon said. "We had some success during the course of the week, and with offense it's always a process. It's not an overnight thing that you can just put in place. The progression is there, we just need another week to get better."
With cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid 60s mimicking midseason weather, the team mimicked real game scenarios. During the course of the scrimmage, the offense worked on its two-minute drill and red zone attack and even produced a pair of 99-yard touchdown drives.
After a slow start, the offense got rolling. Junior running back Tay Willis started the game with the first-team offense and broke through for the first score of the game when he caught a 55-yard screen pass from Kory Faulkner and broke away down the right sideline.
"Tay Willis has that big play potential so it was nice seeing him make a big play for us," SIU Coach Dale Lennon said. "We just need to find ways to get him the ball in open space and let him be a big part of our offense."
The defense made some big plays early before the offense settled in. Jordan Poole and Cory Lee each recorded a sack early, and Luke Thuston picked off Kory Faulkner after Faulkner bootlegged right on a play action pass.
Twice the ball was spotted at the one-yard line to begin a drive, and both times the offense drove the length of the field for a score. Faulkner led the first such drive, which ended with Mika'il McCall's 10-yard touchdown run. Following a strong showing in this past week's practice, Faulkner completed over 70 percent of his passes Saturday.
Ryan West then immediately quarterbacked the second-team offense down the field on a 99-yard drive that was highlighted by two completions of over 25 yards. Willis punctuated the drive when he carried the ball on the final two plays for a five-yard run up the gut followed by a one-yard plunge into the end zone.
Lennon credited a more consistent running attack with wearing down the defense.
"You have to be patient with (the running game)," Lennon said. "There are times when it might be a little frustrating for a while, but I think we have the ability to wear down a defense throughout the course of a game, and I think we saw a little bit of that today. Once we had success running the ball, everything else kind of came together for us offensively."
Lennon said he plans to have the team go live in practice a couple more times in the coming week before following it up with a less extensive closed scrimmage next Saturday. Also, this Thursday, Aug. 22, all fans are invited to walk on the field and interact with the players at the third annual Saluki Football FanFest, which begins at 6:30 p.m. at Saluki Stadium.

STANFORD, Calif. – Maddie Bauer became the first Stanford freshman in four years to be named to the All-Pacific Region first team for women's soccer.
Bauer, a central defender, was among three Stanford players named to the first team, joining fifth-year senior forward Courtney Verloo and junior midfielder Lo'eau LaBonta. This is the third all-region selection for Verloo and the first for LaBonta. No other Cardinal were named to the three NSCAA/Continental Tire All-Pacific Region teams.
Bauer moved into the spot occupied for four years by All-America Alina Garciamendez, who set a school record with 102 career starts. Bauer, from Newport Beach, Calif., immediately stepped into the lineup and started all but one match, which she missed because of injury. Besides her considerable skills, Bauer played with calm demeanor, and became one of the teams' strongest leaders as the season evolved.
LaBonta, of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., provided fire and spark and a willingness to battle for goals.Though she stands at 5-foot-2, LaBonta also was among the team's best in the air. She scored four goals, including an equalizer in the 89th minute against UCLA in an eventual 2-1 double-overtime loss. Also, her first-time shot in the 44th minute beat Washington, 1-0.
Verloo, of Tualatin, Ore., tied Taylor Uhl for the team lead in points, with 24. Verloo's nine goals and six assists gave her 23 goals and 25 assists (71 points) for her career. Verloo had five game-winning goals, including during a 3-2 overtime victory at Santa Clara when she earned Stanford's first hat trick in three years, all on dead-ball kicks. Verloo, who scored on a 90th minute penalty to tie the match and a 108th minute free kick to win it, was selected as the NSCAA national player of the week.
Fourteen different Stanford players have now totaled 24 first-team all-region selections over the past six seasons. In all, 29 Stanford players have combined for 50 first-team honors.

The Thunder have two games left to get one win and put a wrap on the No. 2 seed. Might as well go ahead and get that tonight against the Pelicans.
The Thunder can lock up the West's No. 2 seed with a win today, but they'll have to do it by going through an Eastern contender.
The Thunder look to trim their second seed magic number to one against the down and out Pelicans, who will be missing their best player, again.

My dear wife and I were chatting the other evening while on the way out to dinner. The topic dealt with how guys and girls differ in their understanding of relationships and how a thoughtless fellow just being a pal can be oblivious to the expectations he might be inadvertently creating in a young lady.
She asked, "Are guys really such Neanderthals?"
Since her real question was "Viewed using female rules and standards, are guys really such Neanderthals?", I responded, "Yes, they are - live with it."
Almost immediately she replied, "Actually, I do."
So I hit her with my club.
No, not really... in fact I would have held up an Olympic scorecard with the "10" on it if I had one - ya gotta recognize excellence wherever you see it. Sigh...

Sun (as in solar) Modular Data Center
By pmonday on Mar 13, 2008
I mentioned briefly that the SunMD unit at CeBIT was hooked up to solar-power. Ingo Frobenius, the Sun Engineer involved in the effort, provided me with more details about the solar installation.
The solar array was about 65 square meters providing 10kW of power. The normal generator used with the SunMD truck was replaced with a transformer and the unit was also attached to the power grid for when the solar panels were not producing power (which happened during the first day of snow .
Its true that 10kW is not going to power a complete SunMD unit. The average rack has a 12.5kW power supply (though if you fill the rack with 4 Sun Blade 6000s, you will need 25kW power supplies with your rack). But keep in mind, many of our warehouses have far more than 65 square meters of space to put solar panels. Next time you are flying over a warehouse region of a city, just look at all of the rooftops that face up towards the sky, there is more than enough space to power a few fully-equipped SunMDs. In fact, some customers estimated the roof-space of their warehouses at about 1000 square meters (enough power for the SunMD and the chiller).
In Germany (home of CeBIT), solar energy is sponsored by the government in many regions, helping make solar energy a reasonable proposition for powering SunMD.
I have to give a "shout out" to all of the companies that participated in the demonstration (in addition to us, Sun Microsystems, with the SunMD):
- Ersol - produced the solar cells
- GES - takes the solar cells and builds the solar panels
- ALTEC - producing aluminum frames for mounting solar panels
- Intel - Rockin' Processors in Sun Servers
Go Green!
Ingo, thanks for all of the details!

I was so very lucky to be able to go and visit our friends at Go West T-shirt Company out in Colorado this week. These guys are the screen printing gurus who make all our super-cool Dogfish T-shirts. Although I had been before, I seemed to have forgotten the madness that is Go West: their print shop is the craziest place I've ever seen: 3,000 strings of Christmas lights going every which way, a puzzle depicting Burt Reynolds naked bum, life-size cut-outs of Sarah Palin, Larry Bird, and Randy Travis (in shockingly tight leather pants); Star Wars collector plates, and a bike that runs by lawnmower motor are just a few of the items to be seen/experienced. Regardless of their taste in decorating, these guys totally rock. Can't beat the service, the creativity, the quality, and their general sense of helpfulness. Oh yeah, and they are wind-powered, and do all kinds of neat-o-keen environmentally friendly things like soy-based inks, tons of organic cotton, and they don't use toilet paper. Ok, I made that last one up. All that, and they enclose free candy when they send the shirts, and let's be honest, thats really the most important thing.
ahh, the dogfish section of the screen library.
i hope they keep a fire extinguisher handy.
sarah watches over things like a hawk.
squeal shirts about to print!

One of the most interesting facts that get along with being a digital marketer specialising in some particular niche is the ability to understand that specific niche from various angles. If you would have interacted with different music companies, you would know and realise what actually works and what doesn't and even where and how they feel, their industry seems to be going. We believe that there are a few considerations that must get along with the digital marketing industry and that too in the music industry for the year 2014.
Let's discuss what we feel, is going to matter the most here in this context.
Improved adoption of mobile experience
More than 20% of the visits on the websites come from mobile users and the proportion is only increasing with time. In less than one year, this number may go up to some 30-35%. Moreover, the time to come would also show up a clever boost in the mobile commerce conversion rates since more and more people are getting used to making purchases online.
What follows? As a result, these combining factors are going to persuade the music companies to ensure that they take their mobile strategy more seriously henceforth.
Google expected to get a stronger grip on music
Plenty of music related searches are made on or via Google on a monthly basis and the music listeners are regular on this search engine that was once known for any kind of search but music. Google is expected to offer access to more and more streaming platforms in future.
What follows? As a result, few changes have been made to the music term or related search results. These efforts are going to have impact on artists, labels and the streaming platforms.
More tools and improved results
There have been many tech start-ups offering assistance to the labels and the artists so that they can get a clearer understanding of the data and can save time by also targeting on an increase of their fan base size. This has also created both need and awareness for new tools.
What follows? As a result, it's the industry that is getting smarter in differentiating the valuable tools and the shiny toys that are of no use. Tools that are aimed to offer genuine and much valuable services to the artists should only be taken into account and this is something that the users well understand. The ones that can't stand out simply phase out! SoundCloud is one such website that almost all music artists want to make it big. But garnering positive reviews on SoundCloud is not that easy. Sometimes, people just have to buy SoundCloud Play Reviews to get the ball rolling. Once they get some followers and views, their popularity start skyrocketing.
Content marketing: It's all about relations and here less is more
There shouldn't be raised eyebrows anymore when we say that the year 2014 is going to be the year of an industry called content marketing. Few interesting repercussions must result from this development. Deluge of the content is going to raise the expectation bars for successful content. Hence all the music companies shall be vying to do more with all the less they have.
What follows? As a result, they may also be involved with various small creative campaigns. When content becomes more effective, even the budgets are going to improve with the companies now choosing to allocate their budgets closely and wisely.
Visual media expected to gain more importance
As we know that infographics are increasingly being shared as valuable forms of content in the music industry we would still say that the idea is to make 'quick content' which also includes vine videos, tweets, etc.
What follows? As a result, the focus on the visual media is expected to increase with more and more adoption of Vine and Instagram in order to encourage sharing the updates from the different bands. Image based social posts shall also boost in terms of importance.
Given the fact that music is largely going to impact consumer behaviour, we shall naturally see more brands strengthening their presence by using associations to develop their brands in the year 2014. For now, we can only add – let us wait and watch!

The Super Bowl isn't the only thing that is making a star studded appearance this weekend. The award winning, best selling movie and soundtrack "Frozen" has a whole new experience which will warm the hearts of many a family.
Does your child walk around singing the songs from "Frozen?" Did you have to "hush" them during the movie? Not anymore! "Frozen" is now available in a sing along song edition, opening in select theaters across the country this weekend. Fans are invited to get in on the act with the all new sing along version of the movie.
The film's soundtrack was No. 1 in the Billboard top 200 for two straight weeks. So it's no surprise that YouTube videos are popping up featuring fans of all ages and melting hearts around the world as they sing the songs favored by "Frozen" fans.
"'Frozen' fans have embraced the film's original songs and its soundtrack with such passion—there are countless YouTube videos from people singing songs like 'Let It Go'—we decided to create a version that would celebrate that enthusiasm," said Dave Hollis, executive vice president, theatrical distribution, The Walt Disney Studios. "It's a great opportunity for families to get together and have some fun with these songs."
To make it even more fun look for on-screen lyrics and a magical bouncing snowflake will accompany select showings. Find out if it is playing at a cinema near you.

KA: It depended on life. We were a big stable of reporters—it's a big national newsroom running several radio and television channels, and in the end, I suppose particularly in the '80s and the early '90s, I ended up going to a lot of conflict because there was an awful lot to cover: the end of the Berlin Wall, various revolutions, then the start of the first Gulf War and then the war in the Balkans. There was just a lot of conflict which we were covering.
More: Was there ever a time when you thought, you know, "I really don't want to go to another war zone?"
KA: I would have never gone on reporting if I had thought that. By that time, in 1990, I was chief news correspondent with a very large number of journalists under me and I would never have refused to go to a place if there was a more junior journalist going. You lead from the front, and that's part of the responsibility of the job, it occurred to me.
More: Have you had moments in your career where you were just like, "Oh my God, what am I doing here?"
KA: Well, time and again. I mean, war is absolutely horrifically dangerous. War is about killing. And it's immensely, immensely violent. And, therefore, if you know that in advance, you try and assess the risk and you try and take precautions. But you can never, ever factor in all the unexpected and the times when the completely unknown comes out of the blue. And so, you can find yourself in difficult situations.
I used to say to other journalists and younger journalists, the point is no one should ever go off to a war without reading about it. The First World War is probably the single subject about which the most has been written in English, and, therefore, [reading about it,] you can learn about what man does to man. And so you do that before you ever go.
More: As a woman, did you face unique challenges in war zones?
KA: If you face a bunch of people at a political summit, there are hardly any women there. I mean, the physical arguments are all about lavatories. End of story. …I went in, in the first Gulf War, and there were 43,000 British men and me. And it boils down to, in the end: the main physical problem is keeping clean and going to lavatories. There aren't any portable lavatories in the desert. So, you've got practical things.
When it comes to the actual environment, other than that, I have to say, if you ever report sport or you report a great deal of politics or terrorism, you are, on the whole, still working in a male environment.
More: You've suffered a serious share of war wounds—which are you most proud of?
KA: I'm not proud of them. It means that you've gotten in the way of something. Journalists do not go to get injured. You go to get the story and bring it back and any injuries are a mere problem. There are times when hot metal flies around a lot or various other things can happen to you, and you just have to try to avoid it. I mean, I've still got shrapnel in one foot, and I've been very, very lucky, where bullets have been concerned. I've been grazed four times and that's near enough.
More: How do you, personally, process the atrocities you've witnessed in the field?
KA: I think that if you go off to conflict you have to read about some of the grimmer aspects of history and discover what people can do when they're desperate or filled with rage or hatred. You've got to be able to have an idea in your mind of what you might see. And so, I feel that although you may be shocked by what you see, you should never be particularly surprised by it. There is quite a difference between those two approaches. And you're still shocked—everyone should be shocked by the awful things.

When children grow up feeling unloved and neglected, they are more likely to have difficulties becoming productive members of society. While celebrating Valentines Day and expressing love towards children today, remember how important it is to show your children this same affection every single day with these seven easy tips:
- Ask them about their day and listen. Take the time to learn about the ups and downs of their everyday. Not only will your child beam from this simple yet constructive attention, but you will have a better understanding of your child, and the daily challenges they face.
- Support them by taking an interest in what they care about. The newest preteen vampire book or Halo video game may not be your ideal Saturday afternoon but you might find yourself having conversations with your kids you never thought possible when you begin sharing these experiences with them.
- Instill self love in your children by caring about yourself. Teach them not to be destructive by not being destructive to yourself. This can be difficult, as humans all make mistakes from time to time and are often our own worst enemy. Remember that children imitate everything-- if they see you constantly putting others first without any regard to your own well being, they are sure to grow up as martyrs too.
- Laugh with them everyday. Simple, but more effective than almost anything. Laughter teaches people to let go of their fears and to enjoy new experiences with grace and dignity. Laughter is an especially useful tool to ease tension and will remind children that they are loved even in the most heated moments.
- Teach them to set high standards for themselves by expecting more than what is necessary. So often, kids will say things like " it was extra credit. I didn't have to do it" but parents need to teach kids to push themselves and strive for more each time. Children want to please their parents so if it is important to you, it will be important to them.
- Believe in them. By showing them you believe in them, they will believe in themselves. Do not expect them to just know-- tell them often and be specific about their qualities.
- Be honest-- about everything. From where babies come from to the Tooth Fairy to Santa Claus, parents have been sharing these fairytales forever. One of the most important jobs of a parent is to prepare the child for the future and the real world but how can a parent successfully do this without honesty? Why would you begin this incredibly important lifelong relationship with lies, no matter how insignificant it may be? By being honest always, you are not only setting a good example for your kids, you are creating an environment of trust and mutual respect.
Want to learn more ways to connect with your children and become a better parent? Though there are many places in the tristate that offer parenting classes, Beech Acres has a wonderful variety of resources for parents. In addition to providing educational and mediation services to families, Beech Acres also has ongoing For the Love of Kids parenting workshops.

Recalling memories of love with you
Such simple innocence of love we knew
We held each other crying tears of happiness
And then the winds of change began to blow
The voice of destiny said I must go
My tears could fill an ocean trying to forget
My love could move a mountain ever since we met
You'll never know how much I have loved you so
You'll never know just how much it took to go
But soon you won't be crying tears of loneliness
You'll never know how much I have loved you so
You'll never know just how much it took to go

One of the best beauty secrets we have discovered as of late is Rene Furterer's Naturia Dry Shampoo ($24). Our thick locks tend to dry out when washed more than thrice weekly so the longer we can postpone the damage, the better. We sprayed the dry shampoo into our greasy tresses - not grossly greasy but in need of a wash, we're not cavemen - and after a few brushes through we were shocked by how effective the spray-able powder was at soaking up the oils in our scalp and bringin' back the volume. It may be the lazy way out but we are saving water aren't we? Silver lining girls, silver lining.

After an in-depth look at the eight UN Millennium Development Goals, one key target is noticeably absent: Violence Against Women. The Millennium Development Goals fail to address violence against women as a target, even where discussion about this issue would be most salient (Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women, Improve Maternal Health, and Combat HIV/AIDS).
MADRE, along with a multitude of other women's groups, have criticized the MDGs and the United Nations for neglecting this extremely critical issue (for MADRE's critique of the MDGs, click here.) As many as three-quarters of women and girls around the world experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. This in turn affects their ability to contribute fully to the improvement of their own lives, the lives of those around them, and the communities in which they live. Without acknowledging the "missing target" of Violence Against Women, the UN's chance of accomplishing the eight MDGs is severely diminished.
UNIFEM released a video about this "missing target" and the recent increase in gender-based violence in Haiti following the January 12th earthquake. MADRE has been working extensively with our sister organization in Haiti, KOFAVIV, to address the epidemic of violence against women since the earthquake. Watch UNIFEM's video below:

Did the Maya really predict that the world would end in December of 2012? If not, how and why has 2012 millenarianism gained such popular appeal? In this deeply knowledgeable book, two leading historians of the Maya answer these questions in a succinct, readable, and accessible style. Matthew Restall and Amara Solari introduce, explain, and ultimately demystify the 2012 phenomenon. They begin by briefly examining the evidence for the prediction of the world's end in ancient Maya texts and images, analyzing precisely what Maya priests did and did not prophesize. The authors then convincingly show how 2012 millenarianism has roots far in time and place from Maya cultural traditions, but in those of medieval and Early Modern Western Europe. Revelatory any myth-busting, while remaining firmly grounded in historical fact, this fascinating book will be essential reading as the countdown to December 21, 2012, begins.

The Snickers bar, made by Mars, is one of the more quintessential candy bars found here in the US. It was created back in 1930, when many of our well known candy bars were born, and named after the family race horse. Snickers is a classic candy bar in that sense, it's really survived over the years. No, correction, it has thrived since it's creation and is one of the most popular candy bars sold today.
It wasn't until I was contacted by Mars to see if I'd like some free samples that I realized that I never have done a traditional Snickers bar review. I guess I've overlooked it while chasing after all the limited editions that are being released.
Aside from the candy itself, I have to say that Snickers is also pretty keen on having some of the funniest commercials as of late. Who could say no to the likes of Mr. T? Or King Henry the VII? Take a gander if you haven't seen these gems:
So for those of you who may not know what exactly a Snickers bar is, here's a breakdown of the construction: it starts with a layer of peanut nougat at the bottom, then a stripe of caramel studded with fresh peanuts, then all is enrobed with milk chocolate. Simple, elegant, and very yummy.
Once the bar is unwrapped, you get the aroma which smells sweet and very peanutty. The texture has a nice chew to it, but it's not too much as it's soft and giving, so it doesn't tire your jaw out like taffy would. The caramel is soft and not too dense.
The flavor is awesome; it's a great mix of salty and sweet. You get the sweetness from the chocolate which has nice milky notes to it, then the caramel with the nice nutty/salty hit from the peanuts. Snickers is a masterpiece of contrast, and it's a candy bar that satisfies.
From now until March 31, 2010 Snickers is holding a large contest called "SNACKONOMICS" which. You collect letters to spell out a specific word on the website (kinda like McDonald's Monopoly) to win prizes. Now, normally I sniff at most contests, because really, what do I need with a new car when already have a nice one of my own? The prizes here are much more alluring to me, and they mainly consist of heft chunk of money that go toward things like your housing mortgage, car payments, and a yearly salary. Pretty nice rewards for eating a candy bar!
So many of my friends and family are people who go crazy for Snickers bars. They would all easily claim, hands down, that Snickers is their favorite candy bar of them all. It's a great candy bar, as it has wonderful flavor and a great combination of ingredients. What keeps me from wanting to hoard them is the fact they suffer from my pet peeve: they have nuts in them. I still enjoy them though, because a great candy bar is a great candy bar. If you haven't had a Snickers, you're missing out.
