Reusing comes most easily to those from the Depression era. Baby boomers are buyers. "Advertising has trained us to believe new is better," Watkins adds.
Mark Caserta, a former lobbyist for the New York League of Conservation Voters, can recall his grandmother saying of many items, "Can't we save and reuse it?" and his mother replying, "Why do that when you could just throw it out?"
Now Caserta is co-owner, with his wife, of the Brooklyn store 3r Living, which carries products aimed at reducing waste, reusing unwanted or discarded materials, and recycling. Yet, it's the recycling aspect of the business that gets people's attention most. "When people come to our store, almost universally they call it the recycling store," Caserta says.
Why reuse
Waste prevention, also known as source reduction,
is a convincing reason to use and reuse products.
"Preventing waste saves natural resources
and the energy consumed to make new products.
It also reduces greenhouse gases associated
with manufacturing and waste disposal, and
it saves disposal costs," reminds Roxanne
Smith, a press officer for the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency.
Lynda Grose, an adjunct professor of sustainable fashion design at the California College of the Arts and a consultant on sustainable design issues for Gap and other companies, puts it like this: "There's no such thing as disposable. Everything goes somewhere." Not to mention, there are environmental stresses with each stage of the product life cycle, from pre-manufacturing and manufacturing to packaging and transport, she adds.
Between 2 percent and 5 percent of the waste stream is potentially reusable, according to the EPA. While reuse can mean keeping something with the same owner -- for its original or a new use -- it can also mean redistributing materials to those who would find a use for them.
Any form of reuse can mean saving money. Mihelcic has observed that people get excited about extra money in their pockets when politicians talk about tax breaks, yet don't tend to see reuse as a way of putting money in their pockets. "Reusing actually saves you more than a tax break," he points out.
In more than 6,000 communities nationwide, there's
an added economic motivation to reuse: The
less you throw away, the less you pay for
waste removal. In these "pay-as-you-throw"
towns and cities, residents pay for waste
removal based on how much waste they produce.
Here's a closer look at the four major reuse practices:
Reuse it -- for its original purpose or a
new purpose.
Many everyday items, such as bags and containers, can be used more than once, the EPA reminds.

Hillsborough support group thanks Everton for matchday tribute
Everton stage emotional Hillsborough tribute
Liverpool's Premier League neighbours Everton honoured the Hillsborough victims before they took on Newcastle at Goodison Park tonight.
Two mascots, one wearing a Liverpool kit and one an Everton kit, lead out the teams and both wore the number 96 on the back of their shirts.
The ball boys and girls also had 96 on their backs and there was a video tribute on the giant screens.
This was followed by a minutes silence and the names and faces of the victims were shown on the big screen just before kick-off.

Former policeman calls for fresh Hillsborough inquest
A policeman who was on duty during the Hillsborough disaster has spoken of his shock at discovering his account of what happened had been tampered with.
Former PC Martin McCloughlin has called for a fresh inquest after finding out a section of his statement which criticised the South Yorkshire Police operation had been removed.
Aspinall 'heartened' by May's Hillsborough prosecution comments
Hillsborough Families Support Group chairwoman Margaret Aspinall said she was "heartened" by Home Secretary Theresa May's comments that anyone who was found to have broken the law in the wake of the 1989 tragedy should be prosecuted.
She added:
Home Secretary backs Hillsborough prosecutions
Home Secretary Theresa May said it was "absolutely clear" that anyone who broke the law in the wake of the Hillsborough tragedy should be prosecuted.
Mrs May added that she was still digesting the "deeply shocking and disturbing report" that showed 164 statements were "significantly amended" about the leadership of the police, to push blame for the disaster onto the fans.
Home Office officials have been asked to ensure the "necessary resource, support, advice and co-operation" are in place "to facilitate any and all investigations into individual and systemic issues", Mrs May added.
Hillsborough mum to petition for new inquest for her son
Anne Williams has told Daybreak that she that she is confident that the verdict into her son's death will be overturned when she submits a new memorial to the Attorney General today.
HFSG to follow up with civil proceedings, where appropriate
The Hillsborough Families Support Group said they are now looking at three particular avenues to follow up.
They include urging the attorney general to apply for new inquests, demanding full and immediate investigations into criminal prosecutions and final, where appropriate, and applying for civil proceedings to be reopened.
In a statement, the families strongly condemned the comments made this week by Sir Norman Bettison and described the "monumental" scale of the wrongdoing and cover up that will leave an "indelible stain on the reputations of those authorities in whom the public implicitly placed thier trust."
Inquest verdicts 'need to be' overturned
Trevor Hicks, president of the Hillsborough Families Support Group, and Margaret Aspinall gave a statement to the media in which they expressed their desire for the inquest verdicts to be overturned and new ones to be held in Liverpool.
A statement on behalf of the HFSG, said: "The findings of the Hillsborough Independent Panel have finally vindicated the families in their 23-year struggle to establish the truth.
"However, after truth must come justice. We have spoken today to our lawyers and taken initial advice.
"As the families have always believed and insisted, it was the actions and inaction of those in authority that caused the deaths at Hillsborough n April 15, 1989.
"The fans did not contribute to the tragedy. Any blame previously laid at their door has been shown to be part of a despicable conspiracy by those in authority to tarnish the reputations of the dead, the survivors of the disaster and the people of Liverpool.
"This conspiracy has been revealed for what it is; a bid to avoid accountability.
"Those responsible can avoid accountability no longer."
Hillsborough families to seek new inquests
The president of the Hillsborough Families Support Group Trevor Hicks has said that the families of the victims will be seeking new inquests and will seek criminal charges over the police cover-up.
Hillsborough activist hopes that the state can put things right
The president of the Hillsborough Families Support Group has said that he hopes that the state can put things right with regard to the results of the Hillsborough report.
Trevor Hicks said he backed the idea of having an oversight panel to help coordinate the search for justice.

Michael Phelps Fails To Medal In First Race At London Olympics
He only needs three medals to become the athlete with the most Olympic Medals, after the 400 Individual Medley he still needs three medals. American teammate Ryan Lochte wins the first gold for the United States and Phelps fails to medal in the event. Lochte showed the world why he may be the best swimmer at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

SCR: Does that apply to open wheelers in general, or just to yourcircumstances?
NEWMAN: More to the USAC style racing and racing different racetracks all over. I mean you can race open wheel cars at the same trackevery week. If you want to become the Kokomo (Indiana) track champion,that's great. But you're not as versatile as if you're USAC champion.
SCR: You hear drivers in this sport telling about how they wontheir first-ever go-kart race and telling of their early success. Howlong did it take you to get that first win?
NEWMAN: I don't remember. I know I won races before I was sixyears old. But I can't remember (the first one). That was over 20 yearsago.
SCR: You hear a lot about how this is a family sport, and you seedrivers with a background like yours or Kevin Harvick's or Jeff Gordon'sand their families really did nurture them for a career in racing; hasthat helped you in this sport?
NEWMAN: As far as family involvement?
SCR: Yes.
NEWMAN: Oh, without a doubt. If my parents hadn't started meracing quarter midgets at a young age, I think that eventually I mayhave ended up doing this, but not in this way or with this amount offocus.
SCR: You alluded to this earlier, but your seeming levelheadedness is a function of that environment, I would guess.
NEWMAN: Yeah, that, and the same thing I said before: You're aproduct of your environment, whether it's at home, at the race track, orin a meeting with your team. If they'll stay level headed, then you'llstay level headed, or you're more apt to. That goes a long way when itcomes to being beneficial to a team.
SCR: This is probably a question you've answered a thousandtimes. But you had a lot of success in Midgets and Sprints while incollege, so just how tough was it to juggle college life and asuccessful racing career? That had to be pretty stressful.
NEWMAN: It was like working two jobs at one time. It wasextremely difficult, but I knew it was something I could accomplish. Ittook me a little longer and a little more effort than I thought it wasgoing to take. But nonetheless I was still able to accomplish that.
SCR: Given your success in racing, in hindsight, a lot of peopleprobably would ask why you even went to college?
NEWMAN: Ahhh, because you never know. You could be riding abicycle and have a bug hit you in the eye and never get to drive againthe way you always drove. You've got to have something to fall back on.On top of all that, it never hurts to be educated.
SCR: Does your engineering degree and background give you anadvantage over other drivers, given what this sport has become and howtechnical and advanced it's become over the last decade?
NEWMAN: I would like to say so, yeah. I know there are a lot ofsmart people out there. But I know that having an engineering degreethat I can say that I'm one of them.
SCR: You mentioned NASCAR's embarrassing moments and the problemsof the last few races. Looking at the situation with cautions and theconfusion they've caused, there seems to be a simple solution--justrevert back to the last completed lap. Yes or no?
NEWMAN: That's the way we all grew up racing. But that's not theway they've always done it. We have the technology to separate where allthe cars are when the yellow flag comes out. It took the IRL a fewmonths after Helio Castroneves won the 500 to figure out who exactly wonthe 500, even though he had already won it. So we're not the only oneshaving that problem. But there's definitely a lot of different ways ofdoing things than the way it's been done in the past.
SCR: Field fillers, for lack of a better term, what is youropinion of drivers in the back who are barely competitive but who makeraces because of the rules?
NEWMAN: I don't think there is such a thing as a field filler. Ithink people come to compete. When they are in the form or position tocompete, they will. If not, they'll play their best hand and fold ifthey have to. The bottom line is that no matter what series you're inthere's always some form of what they call field fillers. But they'recompetitors in the same right, and they come for a specific reason.Whether it's to win or to compete, they're there for the competition.That doesn't make them a field filler.

- Registered Nurses
- Nurses specializing in Home Infusion (or IV Therapy)
- Wound and Ostomy Care Specialists
- Dietitians

- Physical Therapists

In addition, we offer the services of medical social workers who provide patients and family members with support, counseling and the coordination of financial and community resources
spiritual care
Our Spiritual Care program provides chaplains who visit patients in their homes. These chaplains help patients work through spiritual and religious issues as they move from one level in the recovery process to the next. They help patients accept, reconcile and grieve diminished health, activity and independence when appropriate.
We are licensed and regulated by the State of South Carolina's Department of Health and Environmental Control and by the federal Medicare program. In addition, we are accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
Our services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurers. Patients will not be denied services based on their ability to pay. We serve patients in Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg, and Pickens counties.
Recognizing the importance of treating the whole patient, St. Francis HomeCare integrates spirituality into patient care in this unique program. The whole person is treated: body, mind, and spirit.
Our interest in caring for the sick in their homes is deep rooted. Our sponsoring Sisters of Bon Secours served as the first organized home health organization in 1824 – caring for the sick in their homes. From this legacy and the organization that brought the first Parish Nurse Program to the state of South Carolina, St. Francis HomeCare now brings the first Spiritual Care program to home health patients in the Upstate.
With a grant from The Duke Endowment, within our Home Health Services, our Spiritual Care program has professional chaplains who offer spiritual care to all home health patients who are in need, as well as their family members and caregivers. They have specialized education and training to mobilize spiritual resources so these patients can cope more effectively with their illness or disease. With sincerity and confidentiality, the chaplain provides supportive spiritual care through empathetic listening and counseling, demonstrating an understanding of persons in distress.
Because we realize that many people ask their pastors for information and assistance during times of illness, we continually provide educational programs and materials to church leaders and organizations throughout the Upstate. If you are interested in having someone from St. Francis HomeCare come and talk to your group, please call 864-233-5300.
A physician referral is required to access Home Health Services. If you feel you or a loved one is in need of these services, please let your physician know.

5 Stars For SureAbsolutely Love this brand of flat irons. This is my second croc, classic was amazing. First one to ever completely straighten my hair and make it shiny, soft and straight without being limp. My hair still looks great even when it rains and I have extremely frizzy hair naturally !!! Bought this premium one bcz I travel for a living and it has it's own build in voltage converter. It is also amazing. Very little damage which is inevitable when you use straighteners overseas on diff voltage. It works perfectly and I'm very picky. 5 stars...for sure

I've owned 3 straightners before this and they would work good for the first six months then they just don't straighten or they dodo but my hair wont stay straighten. I used this and it would normally take me about 20 -30 min and this only took me five min! I love it! My hair iis super curly and very wavy, and this is by far the best straightner I've ever had!

The HTC Holiday is expected to come to America for AT&T and their brand new 4G network and the FCC has somewhat confirmed that. We have an HTC device with the frequencies AT&T uses for its 4G network and a sizable device. We'd say the Holiday fits that profile well with its 4.5 inch display. For specs, there's a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8 megapixel camera with HD video recording, a front-facing camera and more. We're expecting it to be here in time for the holidays.

Blueberries are a versatile fruit! Full of vitamin C and other nutrients, we often use them in muffins or the always-popular pie.
Many years ago, I heard about a recipe for "Blueberry Buckle". Fascinated by the name, I tried to locate a recipe, but I wasn't able to find it. Quite a long period of time passed before I was finally able to find this recipe, which turned out to be a coffeecake!
In my research on this interesting recipe, I found out that some recipes get their titles due to the era in which they were created. For instance, when we hear about "cobblers", this is supposedly an old-fashioned word coined years ago that is used to explain a fruit dessert that's "cobbled up" or prepared on short notice. We also hear about puddings referred to as "fools" or "flummeries". All of these names tend to come from British or English backgrounds. Since our forefathers were from England, this may well explain why cobblers, pies and other fruit desserts have long been part of American cuisine.
I now have the recipe for "Blueberry Buckle"! This is really a coffeecake that has a crumb mixture over it. This is a good recipe to have for when you want a small dessert for a small group. This makes a 9-inch pan, which is about 8 servings. If you're fortunate enough to have fresh blueberries growing in your area, you'll have a good reason for making this treat!
To begin with, you make the crumb mixture from sugar, flour, cinnamon and soft butter. This gets mixed and set aside while you prepare the cake portion. The cake itself is made much like a regular cake batter, in which you cream shortening, sugar, and an egg. The dry ingredients are combined and added alternately with milk. Finally, the blueberries are stirred in. This is turned into your pan, followed by the crumb topping, and baked. When it comes from the oven, it's great served warm for a breakfast bread or a snack with coffee, tea, or juice.
A while back, I did an article on another blueberry recipe, "Blueberry-Lemon Bread", which is a cake-like bread with a lemon glaze over it. This article also gives hints on preparing fresh blueberries for freezing. If you missed the recipe, here's the link to it:
Though the name's rather interesting, if you're a blueberry fan, you're sure to enjoy this coffeecake!
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Cream together the shortening, sugar and egg. Combine the dry ingredients and add alternately with the milk. Fold in the blueberries. Turn into a greased 9-inch square pan and sprinkle the following Crumb Mix over it:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
Combine these ingredients until crumbly and sprinkle over the cake. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until it tests done in the middle. Cool on a wire rack and serve warm. Yield: 8 servings.

For simplicity, let $G_n=GL(n,\mathbb{R})$, $N_n$ be the upper trianguler unipotent subgroup, $P_{n-i}$ be the standard parabolic subgroup associated to partition $n=(n-i,i)$, and finally let $K=O(n)$ be the maximal compact subgroup.
Consider the left coset space $N_n\backslash G_n$ with a right invariant Haar measure, denoted as $dg$ on it. Decompose $N_n\backslash G_n=N_n\backslash P_{n-1} \bullet P_{n-1}\backslash G_n$, correspondingly there is a decomposition of $dg$ in terms of right Haar measures $dp$ on $ N_n\backslash P_{n-1}$ and $dh$ on $P_{n-1}\backslash G_n$, if we write $g=ph$ with $p\in P_{n-1}$ and $h\in P_{n-1}\backslash G_n$
$$\int_{N_n\backslash G_n}f(g)dg=\int_{P_{n-1}\backslash G_n}\int_{N_n\backslash P_{n-1}}f(ph)|det p|^{-1}dpdh$$
The first question I have is that why do we have the factor $|det p|^{-1}$ on the right side? Don't we just have a formula like $$\int_{N_n\backslash G_n}f(g)dg=\int_{P_{n-1}\backslash G_n}\int_{N_n\backslash P_{n-1}}f(ph)dpdh \ \ \ \ ?$$
And what's the formular if we use decomposition $G_n=P_{n-1}K$?

The truth is, you never know when you might need the finest, most gentle cleansing and caring for your body and face, especially after traveling. You can get irritations from unfamiliar water, sun exposure, bug bites, hotel laundry detergents, strange flora and other causes. Recently, I was overseas at what must be the dirtiest hotel on the planet! You know you are, filth trap! Anyway, I got a rash that itches me so much, I've been scratching my legs until they run with blood and I can't stop. Dr.'s antibiotics and topical ointments have been taken. Eww!
Well, I still have to wash, I'm still going to (attempt to) shave and I clearly needed relief. My face was dehydrated, too. Sebamed to the rescue! I was happy to be hosted to experience it. This is a scientifically formulated line from Germany.
Cleansing Shower Oil has a "nutty" scent from the rich real avocado oil in the formula. It's not greasy, but creamy. It won't strip the natural oils from you skin.
Perhaps you're the minimalist type, you like to keep your personal care routine -- I won't call it "beauty" for you -- super simple. Liquid Face & Body Wash works for your whole self, without being too rich for oilier skins.
Their Cleansing Bar doesn't go against your 3-1-1 carry-on travel bag, and adds vitamins, lecithin and amino acids for extra-healthy skin.
Their Moisturizing Body Lotion -- like all of their products -- is formulated to have a pH level of 5.5. This is the pH of healthy skin, but most body products don't have it! It also has soothing, hydrating and gentle ingredients.
You'd be surprised how quickly your skin can age from hard traveling! Q10 Cream is a very rich lotion texture. Even if that's heavier than what you normally wear during the day, I have a suggestion for you! Slather it on your face, neck and decollete' right before a shower, let the goodness sink in. Then, makeup won't slide around!

A nice little house in a charming village. A few negative things to mention: Not enough kops and plates for 4 persons, nearly no toilet-paper on arrival and we never suceeded in making the TV work. Since none of us are spanish speaking it would have been nice with some written information in the house.
...but nvertheless: We enjoyed our stay on the wonderful Island, away from the main tourist spots.
Alojamiento 100% recomendable. En muy buenas condiciones, instalaciones inmejorables y una atención excelente por parte del propietario. Relación calidad-precio muy buena. Repetiríamos sin dudar!
Accommodation 100% advisable. Thanks very much to our host for such a wonderful stay. We loved the quality of the rooms and all the spaces in the house. Markt Josef was very kind and warm since our arrival. We really felt confortable and happy with our choice. We definitely recommend your accommodation to others.
Great stay in a very pleasant apartment.
This place is a ripoff please be careful before clinking book on there are massive terrible extra charges and these interhome people are the wrosre people in the entire world fuck them
Nice, little cosy house! The only downside was, that it was hard to find and the second bedroom is separated on the ground floor (description/pictures didn´t match). Also there were a couple of additional costs, that weren`t mentioned in the description. We loved the view and the typical small italian village! The communication with the host was great and he was super helpful.
The apartment 'Palais de Justice' is pretty nice. Although it's not actually in the Palais the Justice as the name suggests, it's next to the actual Palais, in the middle of Vieux Nice. In the same street as the apartment you'll find bars, restaurants and local shops, excellent when you want to enjoy the old town of Nice. Excellent place to get to know the town, minutes walk from the beach, the park and other nice places. The boulangerie is just around the corner and you can smell the fresh baked bread in the morning. The apartment itself is comfortable, we stayed there with 4 persons. The fold-out sleeping couch makes actually a good bed an the bed is the bedroom is good as well. Minor points that are good to know: 5th floor, no elevator and some street noise (which is obvious if you want to stay in an authentic building in the narrow, busy streets of Nice)
Perfect camping, very clean, modern houses! Improvement suggestion is the outdated wifi useage. Helpfull people, clean toilet buildings. Would like to come back when the wifi is multi useable. Good french fries / chips available.
Clean and comfortable. Friendly hostess. Handy for the Circumvesuviana train station for Napoli, Sorrento and Vesuvius sites. Friendly little neighbourhood shop very handy. Our apartment did not have balcony as claimed - others in the complex did. Some noise from neighbouring flat. Very much enjoyed our stay.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

The Gazette
WESTFIELD TWP. — The game pitted two football teams at the bottom of the Suburban League, but there were playoff ramifications on the line.
In the end, Revere dashed the hopes of a postseason berth for Cloverleaf with a hard-fought 21-14 victory.
With only two wins on the season, the Colts (2-7, 0-6) were surprisingly still in the playoff picture and ranked 10th in Division III, Region 8. They needed a win against the Minutemen and against undefeated Highland next week.
Revere (2-7, 1-5) let it be known early it was not going to roll over and play dead. Nick Zimmerman went around the right side on a reverse and scampered 39 yards to the Colts' 25-yard line. Two plays later, quarterback Chase Costanzo found Zimmerman on a 21-yard seam pass with less than 2 minutes elapsed.
"Our kids have worked hard all week, and that was important for us to strike early," Revere coach Mike Murphy said.
Cloverleaf put together a methodical drive. The Colts used some grind-it-out running from Devin Cunningham (85 rushing yards, 23 receiving, TD) and a mix of deceptive pass plays to Austin Smith to keep the Minutemen off-balance.
The 10-play, 60-yard march was highlighted by a Smith 28-yard pass from Garrison Flora on third down. That was followed by a 14-yard pass to Smith (39 rushing yards, 90 receiving, TD) on fourth down, giving the Colts first-and-goal at the 1. Cunningham took the Wildcat snap and leaped over the pile to knot the game.
With 3:04 remaining in the half, Revere took over on its own 27. After gains of 20, 10 and 13 yards, the Minutemen found themselves within striking distance of the end zone. With 1:28 left, Nick Zimmerman (10 carries, 130 yards, 3 TDs) took a jet sweep around the left side for a 20-yard scamper to pay dirt.
"Our challenge was stopping that jet play. I have to give their line credit for blocking well on that play," Smith said. "We made adjustments at halftime that really helped us stop that play for the rest of the game."
Revere came out in the second half and struggled to get going until late in the third quarter, when Zimmerman struck again on a 3-yard touchdown run that was set up by a 34-yard pass from Chase Costanzo (10-for-20 passing, 126 yards) to Zach Lalkowski.
Down two touchdowns, the Colts never gave up. On the second play from scrimmage, Flora hit Smith on a crossing pattern that took him 58 yards to pay dirt.
Flora had all day to pass, as the Colts offensive linemen held strong.
"I have to give so much credit to my offensive line," Smith said. "They created opportunities for me all night. We really played like a family tonight."
The Colts had two shots at tying the game.
A 7-minute, 57-yard drive ended on Revere's 7 with 2:18 left.
The Colts defense held tight on the next series and, following a Revere punt, the offense had 57 yards to score in 1:15. Unfortunately for Cloverleaf, four Flora passes fell to the ground.
"I'm so proud of how hard our kids worked tonight, especially the seniors," Colts coach Bob Lake said. "They've really grown up as men on this field over the years, and this community will never forget them."

For most people, their home is their most valuable asset. For many, their car is next. Home insurance is mandatory if a mortgage is involved, and car insurance is required before a vehicle can be registered. Whether or not to insure is not the issue here. The issue is to find policies giving the best value for money.
Many times, the best insurance comes through an association. This is because a larger number of insured lessens the risk for the insurer. AARP is a huge organization in the United States, and they offer their members excellent deals on insurance – for cars, homes, and medical coverage. AARP stands for the American Association of Retired Persons, but it is not necessary to have worked, or to be retired. All you have to do is hit the half century: if you are 50 or over, you are eligible for membership. Their preferred insurance provider is The Hartford, which offers unusually comprehensive packages for auto and homeowners insurance. Bundling the two is an even better deal as you will get discounts on both rates.
For obvious reasons, insurance companies prefer low-risk customers. The AARP Auto Program includes many incentives to be a safe driver. Perhaps the strongest is the First Accident Forgiveness plan. Under this plan there is no increase in premium associated with an accident so long as no driver on your policy has been involved in an accident or had a major violation during the previous five years. At the same time, safe driving can lead to a zero deductible: your deductible is reduced each year that you maintain a clean driving record, until finally it disappears.
A very appealing feature of the AARP Auto Program is Recover Care which helps pay for many incidental costs that may accrue if you are injured in an accident and unable to drive or do housework. Services such as transportation and shopping are covered as well as cooking and cleaning. Even yard work.
The AARP Homeowners Insurance Program from The Hartford offers the standard coverage with many optional extras. These include the 100% Protection Plan. This means that if your home is insured for its full replacement value and disaster strikes, the policy will pay for rebuilding, even if it costs more than the insured value. (Certain restrictions apply).
Disaster can strike any time in sometimes totally unexpected ways. Wooden homes are always vulnerable to fire, as are rural homes which can be caught in wildfires. Flooding is an increasing danger, (separate coverage is required.)
Tornados, hurricanes and severe storms can inflict serious damage. An explosion caused by a gas leak can level a house in seconds, and cause considerable damage to other houses in the neighbourhood. Because such disasters are still relatively rare, homeowners insurance is quite affordable.
The peace of mind that comes with adequate insurance on home and vehicle is priceless. The Hartford guarantees that once you are a policyholder your coverage will never be cancelled as long as you pay your premiums when due. And their 24/7 claim service helps you get your life back on track fast, should disaster strike.
The Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. (NYSE: HIG) describes itself as a leading provider of insurance and wealth management services for millions of consumers and businesses worldwide.

Scattered showers will return on Monday thanks to Tropical Storm Alberto, which developed off the mid-Atlantic yesterday evening. Tropical season sneaked up on you, didn't it? Clouds will be on the increase later tonight, but the threat of rain will hold off until Monday, particularly in the afternoon.
It appears this low will hug the coast for a few days, so expect intermittent rounds of showers possible through Wednesday. By the end of the week, high pressure returns, and we'll be dry and warm heading into the holiday weekend.
Sunday: Sunny and hot, high 84.
Sunday night: Clear skies early, more clouds overnight, low 51.
Monday: Mostly cloudy, scattered showers, cooler, high 74.
Tuesday: Mostly cloudy, scattered showers, humid, high 72.

College Hockey:Balanced Minnesota enters Frozen Four on heels of perhaps its best game of the season
Sophomore goaltender Adam Wilcox said that last Saturday's 4-0 victory over St. Cloud State was Minnesota's best game of the season.
That's pretty impressive considering that the Gophers racked up 25 wins during the regular season.
2014 Frozen Four
Follow all of USCHO's coverage at Frozen Four Central.
As it's been all season, many different skaters found their way onto the score sheet for Minnesota.
"We're a team; we haven't relied on any one guy," Gophers coach Don Lucia said after the victory against St. Cloud State. "Our top goal scorers are in the teens. We don't have 20-goal guys.
"We're effective how we played this weekend," Lucia added. "Good goaltending. We don't take a lot of penalties to put ourselves in bad situations. And when we get all of our lines contributing like they did this weekend and our defensemen chipping in a few goals, that's when we're at our best."
Minnesota's offense is not only not coming from only one player, it's not coming from only one type of player, either.
In the two games last weekend, Minnesota got a coast-to-coast goal from speedy senior captain Nate Condon; two goals that came from near the blue paint from junior captain Kyle Rau; and two goals from freshman Justin Kloos, to name a few.
Lucia highlighted Condon's weekend, which featured two goals on Saturday and two assists on Sunday, as one of the Gophers' brightest spots.
"I sat down with him earlier in the week and just reemphasized the importance of him playing well for us to have success," Lucia said of Condon. "The way Nate played this weekend elevated our team. His leadership elevated our team. His contributions elevated our team."
Condon is one of only five seniors on Minnesota's roster, and after the well-documented departures in his graduating class from last year's team Lucia said Condon's importance to this year's squad was huge.
"He's been tremendous all year," Lucia said. "For the most part he's had to play with two freshmen and I think he probably wanted to play more center this year, but in typical fashion he sacrificed for our team."
With the early departures of Nick Bjugstad, Nate Schmidt, Erik Haula, Zach Budish and Mark Alt from last year's squad, playing next to freshmen is something that the majority of Minnesota's upperclassmen have been doing all season.
"We knew going in with the departures that we had that we were going to have to bring in a number of [freshmen] and they were going to have to play important roles for us," Lucia said. "We put them in those roles right from the get-go in hopes that it would prepare them for this week, when you get to the end of the year."
Minnesota had six true freshmen and one redshirt freshman dressed last Sunday night; freshman Jake Bischoff was a scratch.
"Most of our young guys come directly out of high school. We don't have a bunch of 20- or 21-year-old freshmen," Lucia said. "Those guys have done a nice job and the older guys have done a nice job of embracing the roles that they have, because some of them come in and play pretty elevated in our lineup."
Kloos' two goals on Sunday were no fluke; he has 15 goals and 15 assists in his first college season. Fellow freshmen Hudson Fasching and Taylor Cammarata are right on his heels with 29 and 25 points, respectively.
"You can ask all seven of us: We are blessed with a group in front of us with upperclassmen that are great leaders," Kloos said after Sunday's game. "Coach already mentioned today how well our captains were able to lead us, and I think that we have been able to feed off of them all year and we are just happy that we have been able to step in and help the team win."
At the beginning of the season, Lucia said that he knew making the NCAA tournament was not a lock because of the team's youth. Heading into the Frozen Four, Minnesota's balanced attack, with goal-scorers spread across its lines and ranging in age from freshman to senior, looks to be its strongest asset.
"They've performed, for the most part, all season long," Lucia said. "[Last] weekend I think they learned the way you have to play."

Good News for Apple? Tablets Fast Gaining on Smartphones
Sterling Wong
A new report finds that tablets are eroding smartphones' share of mobile content usage.
As the smartphone market slows, tablets are becoming an increasingly popular way of consuming mobile data, according to the latest report by mobile advertising network
The company found that tablets accounted for 18% of all mobile traffic on its advertising network, which covers 134 million mobile customers in the US and 206 million worldwide, in 2012, which was a sharp increase from 7% in 2011. Of course, smartphones still represented a dominant 78% of the network's traffic, but the company projects that tablets will make up close to one-third of all traffic by the end of this year.
"Advertisers who increase their mobile investment, but leave tablets out of their strategy, will miss close to one-third of the mobile market," said Jumptap in its report.
Earlier in December, research firm IDC had also increased its forecast for tablet sales in 2013 to 172.4 million units from its previous estimate of 164.9 million units, which would see tablets represent only 10% of all smart device sales this year. Considering Jumptap's 29% projection of tablet traffic, that would seem to indicate that users on larger screens spend more time online compared to their smartphone-using counterparts.
Based on Jumpstart's data,
(NASDAQ:GOOG) and
(NASDAQ:AAPL) continue to be the leading mobile platforms, with
(NASDAQ:BBRY) and others like
(NASDAQ:MSFT) languishing behind.
The growing popularity of tablets is good news for Apple, at least for now. In the smartphone arena, the Cupertino, California-based company has seen Android, which is powered by
(PINK:SSNLF) devices, become the top player.
highlighted that Android's share of the smartphone market was nearly 70% at the end of 2012, compared to 20% for iOS. In 2011, Android's share was 50% to iOS's 20%.
In the tablet market, however, Apple and its iPad remains the top dog by a considerable distance. IDC noted that Apple's global tablet maret share in the fourth quarter of 2012 was a robust 43.6%, even if that was a drop from 51.7% a year ago.
While Samsung has also become the leading challenger to Apple in the tablet market (its share grew to 15.1% in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to 7.9% a year ago), the Korean company has yet to produce a tablet that has captured users' imaginations the way that its Galaxy S smartphones have.
Indeed, Samsung's control of the Android smartphone market share will only grow further in 2013, Jumptap said.
"As Samsung creates more distance between itself and other Android handset brands, it may begin to pose a threat to Google's multi-device model," Matt Duffy, vice president of marketing at Jumptap, said in the report. "Regardless of whether Google puts more muscle behind any other Android handset brand, we believe Samsung will increase its dominance of the Android device market in 2013."
"Advertisers focusing on the Android market should assume that more than 50% of their ads will appear on Samsung smartphones, unless they specifically target other devices," wrote Jumptap.

Mary, like many of our clients when they first begin working with us, was very enthusiastic about a position she applied for with a top magazine publishing company. Mary was frustrated that she had submitted her résumé and had not been able to secure an interview. Mary asked if she should just keep calling until she was granted an interview.
We know from over 25 years of research that would not be a very effective technique. What Mary needs to do is prepare her search campaign and work her plan. Our clients are outshining their competition and landing great jobs even in this tough economy. Those who succeed understand what works and what doesn't and devote their time in methodical pursuit of what research has proven effective!
One fundamental of an effective search campaign is including 200 positions in your target map. When we help clients identify their target or targets, we remind them they are not chasing openings, but including companies that would be appropriate for them. A target is defined by an industry or organization size, a position within that organization, and the geographic area. If any of those elements change, you have another target. You cannot have too many targets, but you must prioritize them. To come up with the 200 positions, you estimate how many positions would be appropriate for you at each company in your target.
Consider Bill, for example. Bill is looking for a position as a Regional Sales Director for commercial furnishings. He has determined there are approximately 50 companies that would each likely have one or two positions that he is well suited for. He now has around 80 positions in his top target. Since we know that in order to land a job in 10 – 12 weeks, you must have 200 positions in your target. Bill needs to add more targets. He decides to expand to two additional regions which will add another 120 positions to Bill's campaign. Bill now has 200 positions in his target map which includes a total of three targets. He can be confident that his next job will be somewhere on this list!
The way to take control of the interview process is to be proactive rather than passive. You must begin to work your target map by scheduling meetings with the head of the department you would like to work for, whether or not they have openings now. You don't care if they have a current opening. Remember, you are not chasing openings. Each meeting is an opportunity to exchange information, learn more about your target, and to expand your network. If you are not yet speaking to 6 – 10 people within your target on an ongoing basis, you have not yet begun an effective search. Job seekers who chase one opening at a time set themselves up for a very difficult rollercoaster ride that is impossible to sustain. Our clients have much smoother sailing as they insulate themselves from the highs and lows and anxiety through keeping constant forward momentum going.
Let's get back to Mary's question. Incidentally, we helped her get that and a number of other interviews, but she had to change her strategy. Mary began to experience success once she recognized the new paradigm of job search is all about DATA:
• Developing the right target(s)
• Acquiring the appropriate number of positions (200) in your target map
• Taking control of the interview process
• Adding value for the organization through consultative interviews
Trust the process. It worked for Mary and thousands of other job seekers over the years and it will work for you, too!

People travel for all sorts of reasons. People volunteer for even more reasons. Chances are that if you've come to this page, you're hoping to do either or both, possibly in copious amounts. You're a recent graduate who isn't ready to be buried in an office just yet. You're at a point in your life when you're seeking out change. You want a better acquaintance with this strange and lovable planet, or you feel like it's time to give something of your own privilege back to the community. No matter what your reasons are, you will never once regret the decision.
See, the thing about making the choice to spend a year traveling around southeast Asia or building houses in New Orleans is that it can so easily go wrong. You've heard the horror stories, of course, and you've probably got more than one person who's eager to tell you all the plentiful reasons why your plan is impractical and will destroy your entire future. You can take comfort in the knowledge that they are quite wrong. This doesn't mean that you should fling yourself out of country on a moment's notice, however. Every such expedition requires detailed planning, solid funds, and extensive research. There are a thousand different programs, and you must somehow sort through them and find the one that is right for you. And that is why you've come here. Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned veteran of the road, there are five things you must always do before you set one foot out that devious front door.
1) State your mission. This is perhaps best accomplished on paper, but if you're a computer or a diagram sort of person, go with your gifts. Cover the basics first. Where am I going? Who am I going with (programs, friends, relatives, pets)? What are the most important things that I want to accomplish there? When am I leaving, when do I need to return? How am I going to get all of this done in time? Spelling out your priorities ahead of time makes it far more likely that you will get what you really want out of your adventure.
2) Make a budget. Write out everything that you will need to pay for with REALISTIC approximate costs (when in doubt, overestimate), and make sure that you have that amount of money. Once you've got a completed estimate, add $2000 as a safety cushion. You will never regret saving too much money.
3) Research till you can't stand it. Then research some more. Find out about safety concerns, visa requirements, deportation laws, weather. In many countries, immunizations will be very important. Learn a bit of the language or culture BEFORE you go, the locals will appreciate it more than you think. If you're going through a program, make liberal use of their resources.
4) Talk to someone who has done your project before. Whether it's volunteer work or a long trip abroad, there's no better source than someone who's been there. Chances are, they would love to spend hours telling you everything you need to know. If you can't find one, go to the most paranoid person you know, and run the idea past them. Once you've addressed all their most irrational fears, you'll find yourself very well prepared.
5) Stick to your guns. There will always be plenty of people telling you that your plan is impractical, or that you're going to miss out on that big career. Those are their dreams. In the end, you are the only one who knows what will make you happy. Dream your own dreams. That career will still be there if you want it later.
Longing to be impractical but haven't found your dream yet? Try out any of these publications:
"Delaying the Real World:A Twentysomething's Guide to Seeking Adventure" by Colleen Kinder
"Alternatives to the Peace Corps: A Guide to Global Volunteer Opportunities" by Paul Backhurst
"The Renaissance Soul: Life Guide for People With Too Many Passions to Pick Just One" by Margaret Lobenstine
Approached in the right way, impracticality can sometimes be the best thing that ever happens to you.

Integrating the capabilities of distributed sensing, computing, and communication, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been transforming the way we interact with the physical and human worlds. While traditional WSNs (e.g., those for smart vineyard) have gone from research to real-world deployments, WSNs continue evolving along multiple dimensions such as content, mobility, space, and architecture. For instance, wireless multimedia sensor networks, mobile wireless sensor networks, wireless underwater sensor networks, wireless underground sensor networks, and wireless sensor-actuator networks are being explored to extend WSNs for supporting rich-media sensing, mobile sensing, underwater/underground sensing, and closed-loop sensing and control. These new WSNs will significantly expand the reach of WSNs and have far-reaching impact on WSN applications. In the meantime, they also introduce great challenges to the theory and practice of wireless sensor networking, together with The 6th China Conference of Wireless Sensor Networks (CWSN2012) sponsored by China Computer Federation, cosponsored by China Computer Federation Technical Committee on Sensor Network, and organized by Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunication. CWSN2012 serves as a forum for sensor network researchers, developers, and users to communicate the productions and experience of sensor network research and applications. Authors of selected English papers in CWSN2012 were invited to submit their extended versions of their papers to this special issue. Also, some research articles were submitted from the manuscript tracking system as regular submissions to this special issue. This special issue aims at providing researchers and practitioners from the academia, industry, and government an opportunity to reflect upon these new developments of WSNs, including their architectures, protocols, novel characteristics, challenges, and real-world deployments. We have accepted a few papers that address the state of the art and the future directions of these research and application areas for wireless sensor networks in this issue.
The paper "Two-layer storage scheme and repair method of failure data in wireless sensor networks" describes a two-layer distributed data storage scheme in wireless sensor networks. The proposed storage scheme and repair method has lower repair communication overhead, which can reduce the repair communication overhead to times and is suitable for resource-constrained distributed wireless sensor networks.
The paper "Target Q-coverage problem with bounded service delay in directional sensor networks" addresses the target Q-coverage (TQC) problem to prolong the network lifetime with bounded service delay constraint in directional sensor networks. A protocol to find a collection of coverage sets that satisfy the coverage quality requirement and the bounded service delay constraint is proposed, and simulation results show that performance of this protocol is close to the upper bound of the optimal solution.
The paper "A virtual-ring-based data storage and retrieval scheme in wireless sensor networks" proposes a virtual-ring-based data storage and retrieval scheme, which is called VRS, to take the frequencies of event and query into consideration for wireless sensor networks. In VRS, the whole sensor network field is divided into some virtual rings. According to the frequencies, one of the virtual rings is selected as the rendezvous ring, which plays the role of a bridge between the information consumers and the information producers.
The paper "Novel side information generation algorithm of multiview distributed video coding for multimedia sensor networks" proposes a multiview distributed video coding algorithm by gaining the intense motion regions of the Wyner-Ziv frame according to the criteria of ROI, and for nonintense motion regions, motion compensation interpolation (MCI) is utilized to generate side information. Finally, side information based on fusion of temporal and spatial side information will be gained.
The paper "A stochastic k-coverage scheduling algorithm in wireless sensor networks" focuses on the K-coverage scheduling problem to guarantee coverage sensing and network connectivity. Deterministic and stochastic sensing models of the sensors were both considered and the authors adapted the results of deterministic sensing model to solve the sensor scheduling problem under the stochastic sensing model. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that this algorithm can reduce the number of active nodes and extend the network lifetime significantly.
The paper "Truthful relay assignment for cooperative communication in wireless networks with selfish source-destination pairs" aims at propose a relay assignment protocol (RA-VCG) for cooperative communication to maximize the total social value while guaranteeing truthfulness in an auction-theoretic sense by charging each pair an extra payment. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of this protocol.
The paper "A camera nodes correlation model based on 3D sensing in wireless multimedia sensor networks" studies the visual information retrieved from adjacent camera nodes that usually exhibits high levels of correlation for wireless multimedia sensor networks. Firstly, a correlation model is proposed by measuring the intersection area of multiple camera nodes' field of views. Then, cluster structures are established to cooperate on image processing and transmission tasks. A set of experiments are performed to show the proposed network topology and image fusion, and transmission scheme released the pressure of camera node greatly and reduced the network energy consumption of communication efficiently.
The paper "An open conformance test system towards the standardization of wireless sensor networks" analyzes IPv6-based WSN protocols and the conformance testing techniques and methods for IPv6-based WSNs. A novel conformance test system for IPv6-based WSNs is designed and implemented, which is open, flexible, full featured, and practical. The related outcomes will promote the standardization and commercialization of WSNs.
The paper "A data gathering in opportunistic wireless sensor networks" studies the challenging problem to effectively collect the sensing data in opportunistic wireless sensor networks, and an efficient data gathering algorithm based on location prediction is proposed for opportunistic wireless sensor networks. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is effective to reduce the message transmissions and improve the data collection coverage rate.
The paper "Optimal convergecast scheduling limits for clustered industrial wireless sensor networks" investigates the performance bounds of the convergecast scheduling. Firstly, by establish the lower bounds on the number of time slots to finish the intracluster and the intercluster convergecast transmissions. Then, the lower bounds on the number of channels based on the lower bounds on the number of timeslots and maximum available channels in a multichannel scenario is established. Lastly, extensive analysis-taking packet retransmissions is carried out to meet the reliability requirement. Experiment results validate the correctness and tightness of theory analysis is this paper.
The paper "MPD-model: a distributed multipreference-driven data fusion model and its application in a WSNs-based healthcare monitoring system" proposes a novel distributed multipreference-driven data fusion model (MPD-Model) for WSNs using distributed multipreference feature-level fusion algorithm, light-weight adaptive feature extraction algorithm, and SVM-based algorithm for health status detection tasks. We implement the proposed methods in a real wearable healthcare monitoring system and validate the proposed methods using real-world data sets with 2046 pulse samples. Experimental results show that the proposed MPD-Model is reasonable and effective.
The paper "Probability model based coverage-enhancing algorithm for WSNs of nodes' adjustable movement pattern" proposed a novel algorithm named as PRMCA (probability model based rotate or move along fixed direction coverage-enhancing algorithm), which determines whether the sensor node rotates or moves along a fixed direction according to the coverage effect. A set of simulation experiments verify the performance of the proposed algorithm.
The paper "Interference-aware fault-tolerant energy spanner in wireless ad hoc networks" addresses the power assignment in wireless ad hoc networks which induced communication graph that meets the following properties: (1) it is an energy-t-spanner which is energy efficient; (2) it is k-fault resistant which can withstand up to node failures; (3) the interference is minimal. Both the theoretic analysis and the simulations in the paper prove that these algorithms can induce a k-fault resistant energy spanner and furthermore the interference is minimized.
The paper "An adaptive opportunistic network coding mechanism in wireless multimedia sensor networks" proposed an adaptive opportunistic network coding mechanism (AONC) to improve video communication performance in wireless multimedia sensor networks. A novel asymmetric coding method to improve data exchange gain is proposed, and opportunistic forwarding strategy based on dynamic priority to achieve much higher is designed. Simulation results demonstrate that AONC can greatly enhance video transmission quality and efficiently utilize bandwidth and energy resources.
The paper "L-shaped-sensor-arrays-based localization and tracking method for 3D maneuvering target" analyzes localization and tracking technology for three-dimensional target in wireless sensor networks. A novel closed-loop system to detect 3D maneuvering targets is designed, which firstly uses L-shaped sensor arrays to sample the signals of maneuvering targets, then 2D ESPRIT algorithm and maximum likelihood algorithm are introduced to achieve the positions of the spatial targets; thirdly, an autoregressive (AR) particle filter (PF) algorithm is realized to predict the locations in next moment; finally, localization process is directed by predicted positions to form a positive feedback closed-loop. Experiment results show that robustness and accuracy of localization and tracking for three-dimensional targets can be enhanced using this system.
The paper "Stair scheduling for data collection in wireless sensor networks" addresses the low-tier stair scheduling method problem for two-tiered sensor networks. The energy and communication reliability models of stair scheduling with respect to the size of clusters and LN parameters are analyzed and used to optimize the tier design of the network. The simulation results show that the performances of stair scheduling are much better than that of random scheduling algorithms.

Where to Stay
Due to scarce land resource and ever-growing population, Hong Kong is one of the most expensive Asian cities in which to rent a hotel room. Both sides of the Victoria Harbourwaterfront are vertical wonderlands of high-end hotels. International and home-grown luxury lodgings vie with one another to deliver impressive views of the city skyline. Look farther towards the end of Metro Lines or into some no-Metro pockets in central Hong Kong Island for cheap and cheerful accommodation.
Booking during Chinese New Year (usually in January or Feburary) and the Chinese National Day Holiday (the first week of October).
Book way ahead to secure a room at hotels in shopping areas like Causeway Bay as they're the top picks for mainland Chinese tourists.
The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong is the world's highest hotel and offers an unparalleled panoramic view over the city and outlying islands.

Before an adoring public can begin to appreciate your axe-wielding wizardry, the signal from your electric guitar will probably need to make its way down some copper cable to get to the Marshall stack. On the way, the tone of the guitar can get flavored, capacitance can cause frequency loss, and if you're really unlucky, the to and fro of nearby taxi conversations can add some unexpected color to a performance. The Light Lead from London's Iconic Sound promises the kind of signal clarity that many players might very well kill for. Claimed to be the world's first optical analog jack-to-jack guitar cable, it's touted to have zero capacitance, zero loading, electrical safety and a virtually infinite lifespan.Read More
Cyclists wanting to notify other road users of stopping or turning intentions can use their arms, but it's not always convenient or safe to do so. Bike-based blinking technology like the Spooklight system is a good way to go, but having to detach and carry your lights between rides to keep them out of the hands of opportunist thieves can be a bit of a pain. A sleeker idea would be to integrate a wirelessly-controlled lighting system into your backpack? That's precisely what SEIL from Myung Su Lee does. Bright directional arrows, stopping signals or custom animated text messages shine through the fabric at the back of the bag at the press of a button on a bar-mounted wireless controller.Read More
Soon, you may be able to correct your cell phone's signal problems by spraying on an antenna. Researchers at the military technology firm Chamtech have developed a special aerosol spray that can essentially add an antenna to whatever it's sprayed on and improve the network coverage in the area. The spray essentially covers a surface with thousands of nanocapacitors. Those nanocapacitors align themselves on the surface, and create a wireless antenna for the devices located in the area. The idea is essentially the nanocapactitors take care of all of the hard work involved in finding a wireless signal, making it easier for your phone or tablet to get connected and stay connected to a network.Read More
It is well-documented that our bodies give off coded chemical signals via sweat, excretions and pheromones that convey messages to other members of our species. Yet the significance of odorless human tears has continued to draw a blank since Charles Darwin first suggested that emotional displays were originally motivated by functional purposes. One hundred and fifty years later, new research from scientists at the Weizmann Institute's Neurobiology Department suggests that in fact, tears may be a chemo-signal, as a chemical in women's tears seems to discourage sexual arousal in men.

Sending and receiving data over a wireless network is generally undertaken via radio waves. But that's not the only method. Using the optical spectrum offers the advantage of better security and blisteringly fast transfer rates to boot. Engineers from Pennsylvania State University have now succeeded in moving data outside the usual line of sight restrictions at speeds of over one gigabit per second, more than double that achieved by Siemens recently.Read More
The Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA) has unveiled the long awaited DisplayPort Version1.2 digital display interface that brings with it a host of enhanced features. Aside from a doubled data rate of 21.6Gbps and bi-directional USB data transfer of an impressive 720Mbps, the upgrade also offers multi – monitor support from a single plug, improved audio synchronization and support for Full HD 3D Stereoscopic displays.Read More

THE opening moments of the match gave little indication of the mauling that was to come, with Bury missing the chance to take the lead in the first five minutes.
Bury's penalty kick hit the upright and was cleared, but they went on to dominate the first 20 minutes, taking advantage of the wind and slope.
Unfortunately, after a promising yet scoreless start, the wheels started to come off a side that was already decimated by injuries, illness and absence.
Littleboro' scored tries in the 25th and 30th minutes by simply moving the ball wide, bypassing Bury's strong pack and targeting their vulnerable three-quarter line to create the overlap.
Both tries were touched down in the right corner, but neither were converted.
Bury then lost their number eight Ben Holland, in the 30th minute before the home side repeated the trick in the closing minute of the half, Littleboro' scoring in the same corner after the same move.
The score was 15-0 at the break, but Bury crumbled in the second half as they played against the conditions.
To make matters worse, an already understrength side was reduced to 14 men and the home side scored almost at will, racking up seven tries – six converted – in the second period.
Bury, who are ninth in North Lancs One, probably need to win at least one of their remaining four fixtures to ensure survival in the league.
They travel to the Lake District on Saturday to play Windermere, kick off 3pm.

What's your take on Supplements (especially Whey protein)?
Tuesday, May 28, 2013
For most part of my life I have been one of those people who believe that all these Supplements, meal replacement powders and even Whey protein are "Artificial" means of weight loss and that they do more harm than good!
Well, I am starting to question that now! And the more I read or talk about it, the more confusing it gets because I keep receiving conflicting views.
So, let me list out the pros and cons I see and it would be great if you could provide your opinion and also share your own experience if you have used any of these food supplements to aid your weight loss efforts -
Pros -
1. Our diet does not provide all the essential nutrients we need to stay healthy.
2. Also unless we are on a 100% organic diet, we really don't know how much benefit (nutrients) are our freshly cooked meals actually providing us.
3. Coming to Whey protein or other protein supplements - Although there are enough protein sources even in a vegetarian diet, I'm not sure that we include enough of them in our daily diet to meet our protein requirement.
4. The supplements provide you the nutrients in a concentrated and "PURE?" form. Meaning that you don't have to eat as much to meet your nutrient requirement and hence save on Calories.
Cons -
1. Its processed. We don't get to see what goes into making them and how healthy they really are.
2. I don't know if its true, but have heard that your body gets kinda addicted to it. So, if you stop using them after taking them for a while then you would put on all the lost weight back and More!!!
3. That they may have harmful effects on the kidney and liver etc etc.
Well, these are just a few... you might have heard of some more! So, what do you think?
Ever used them or learnt some interesting facts? Would you recommend them as part of your daily diet? and if yes, How much and for how long?

I use whey protein and love it. I add whey protein into my green smoothies to help me get my protein in. I'm not a big protein eater so whey protein supplement helps me out.
FYI - I stick with whey protein that doesn't have added sugar (or very little).

I'm not one of those people that takes 30 supplements a day, but I do think that I need a good daily multivitamin and a little extra calcium as insurance. And, on the whey, after tracking nutrition for a long time I've come to realize that I rarely hit even the bottom of my protein requirements. And I feel that it is essential for me to work on building more muscle mass - so, most mornings I have a green smoothie with a full serving of organic whey protein (whey only, no flavoring or sugar) in it.

It just depends on how your body reacts. Mine put on weight with whey powder (organic, sweetened with Stevia, organic coco). Just watch how it effects your body.

I take vitamin/mineral supplements per doctor's orders because, living with my husband's food allergies, it's hard for us to get all the vitamins etc. that we need and the vitamins help bridge that gap. I struggle to get enough protein but I don't supplement my protein; I just try to be careful that every meal/snack has a good source of protein.
I've never thought of them as weight loss aids. Eating protein in any form helps you lose weight because protein makes you feel full and stay full longer, but you get the same benefit from eating chicken or hummus or a handful of nuts as you do whey protein.

You should be able to get all the nutrients you need eating a healthy diet. That said, I think taking supplements can be a way to help meet one's needs. We don't eat perfectly everyday, at least I don't. So for supplements, it depends on what you think you need. I drink a protein shake every day (30 gr protein), but I have a higher protein need as I lift weights. And I mean I lift heavy weights. So I use a protein shake to help boost the protein intake for a smaller amount of calories plus it is easier for me to take along. Stonecot is correct, I could get more protein through dairy and as a natural source would be better, but I'm one of those that can't ingest a lot of dairy. Supplements are not the key to weight loss. Supplements are just what they say they are.....to supplement. They are not meant to be a replacement or the only source of nutrition. Generally, the supplements are not the best source for what nutrients you need, but they can help fill a short gap.

I really do not see why a healthy diet would not contain all the nutrients needed. Mine does, including the protein. I've never seen any scientific evidence that any of them aid weight loss. If people stopped cutting out diary, when they are not lactose intolerant, they would get most of the protein and other nutrients they needed. Scientific research has shown, that the fats contained in full cream milk, prevent the body from absorbing saturated fats, eliminating them from the system. Milk is a more natural product than any supplement.

Going to a GA state park for Christmas family reunion and renting cabins. Been reading thru the laws ( I have a TN permit) on handgunlaw.us.
I think that I'm good except one concern:
"Title 16, Chapter 11, Section 126
(c) This Code section shall not permit, outside of his or her home, motor vehicle, or place of business, the concealed carrying of a pistol, revolver, or concealable firearm by any person unless that person has on his or her person a valid license issued under Code Section 16-11-129 and the pistol, revolver, or firearm may only be carried in a shoulder holster, waist belt holster, any other holster, hipgrip, or any other similar device, in which event the weapon may be concealed by the person's clothing, or a handbag, purse, attache case, briefcase, or other closed container. Carrying on the person in a concealed manner other than as provided in this subsection shall not be permitted and shall be a violation of this Code section."
I'm pretty sure that the "any other holster," will cover my pocket holster.
Any one know different?
This looks like they intend the common sense idea that a gun should be in a holster. And not looking to restrict the kind of holster, but then why mention "shoulder holster, waist belt holster" higrip (what's that?) and not just say a holster that covers the trigger and secures the gun. I'd never make it as a lawyer. And the wording makes me paranoid that there is a "GOT YA" buried in the section.
Also the attention to "concealed" here bothers me; how is Georgia on printing or accidentally revealed?

Jennifer Lopez $20 Million Extortion Lawsuit Against Former Driver Thrown Out
Jennifer Lopez's $20 million extortion lawsuit against a former driver has been dismissed.
A judge has sided with attorneys for Hakob Manoukian, Lopez's onetime chauffeur, who started the legal war by suing the star for wrongful termination and breach of contract, claiming he'd been forced out of the job after Lopez's manager Benny Medina berated him in public and stripped him of certain responsibilities.
Lopez countersued, alleging that Manoukian had demanded she pay him $2.8 million or he'd go public with sensitive private information about the performer.
Manoukian's legal team filed a motion to dimiss Lopez's countersuit, arguing that she was trying to punish him with baseless allegations in response to his employment lawsuit.
A judge has now agreed with the former driver and ruled in his favor.
Manoukian's original lawsuit against Lopez is pending.

Samsung Messager Touch R630 available at U.S. Cellular
Samsung has launched a new QWERTY phone in the US: the Samsung Messager Touch R630, available as of today via U.S. Cellular.
The Messager Touch seems to be a modified Samsung Seek (introduced by Sprint not long ago) and features a 2.6 inch QVGA touchscreen display, TouchWiz UI, Bluetooth, easyedge services, voice recognition, 2MP camera, 100MB of internal memory and MicroSD card slot.
Samsung Messager Touch can be bought from U.S. Cellular for $49.95 on contract. It's available in two colors: all black, and blue on black.
In case you want a new smartphone from U.S. Cellular, and not just a new featurephone (the Messager Touch is one), you should know that the carrier will launch the Samsung Acclaim R880 and the HTC Desire (both running Android 2.1) later this year.
Via Press release
