When a dog confidently walks into the clinic with a sleek, shiny haircoat, rippling with every movement, we can't help but think that his owner is taking great care of him, from nutrition, to grooming, to flea and tick control.
Supple Healthy Skin:
Healthy skin provides a barrier against harmful microorganisms like bacteria and yeast. Once the skin is inflamed or broken, it can be much easier for these organisms to multiply and cause infection. Fatty acids produced by oil glands in the skin form a protective barrier and help reduce the amount of moisture that is lost from the skin. The skin has many other functions as well, including immune regulation, the storage of electrolytes and fats, and the production of Vitamin D. Healthy skin is essential to a healthy animal, and in our experience, few things can make a dog feel more miserable than itchy, inflamed, and/or infected skin.
Did you know... a glossy haircoat reflects more sunlight and is a better insulator?
Keeping Skin and Coat Healthy:
Since hair is primarily protein, healthy skin and coat begin with proper nutrition. Also important are regular bathing and grooming with shampoos made especially for pets, such as our Premier System products or our other veterinary formulated shampoos. Healthy skin is parasite free. We recommend the use of flea and tick prevention products such as K9 Advantix® or Advantage® to keep it that way. Omega-3 fatty acids help support the normal immune function of the skin year-round, including the pollen season. We think our Premium Plus Omega-3 Series with two easy-to-use forms: gel caps or soft chews, is a perfect addition to a healthy skin regimen.

I've got a single folder within the list of All Folders that I can't change any user permissions on.
I'm logged in as an admin and when I view security for the folder it says I have full rights to the folder yet i can't change anything on it or it's sub folders even though it clearly shows me as having rights to "Modify the rights users have to objects".
As a test I added a new sub-folder called Test which created ok but I'm not able to then delete the sub folder or change it's permissions either.
Interestingly we changed permissions on one sub-folder last week without issue but when I check that folder today I now can't update it.
Any ideas anyone?

Video: "Eagle Cam Chicks Get Bands"
VDGIF video captures month-old bald eagle chicks being removed from their 80-foot-high perch and lowered to the ground, where biologists from the Center for Conservation Biology attached bands to their legs, and assessed their overall health before returning them safely to the nest. Read more... This video was shot just 5 days before the eaglets' mother was struck and killed by an airplane at the Norfolk International Airport, which is adjacent to the Gardens and the nest site. The adult male eagle of the nest—seen in this video in the skies above the nest—continued to feed the chicks, but biologists say he would be unable to provide enough food for all three as they continue to grow. After considering all options, wildlife experts made the decision to remove the eaglets from the nest and place them at the Wildlife Center of Virginia, where they will be cared for until they are old enough to be released into the wild later this summer.
Eaglets Moved to Wildlife Center of Virginia (WCV)
WCV to Raise Eaglets to be Released Back into the Wild
Posted April 27, 2011
The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) has confirmed that the female of the eagle pair nesting at Norfolk Botanical Garden was killed by an airplane strike on the morning of April 26, 2011. VDGIF wildlife biologists, acting on concerns that the adult male will not be able to provide sufficient food for the three five-week-old eaglets, determined that the birds should be removed from the nest. While the male may be able to meet the needs of the chicks in the near term, the amount of food they will require as they grow will increase exponentially, likely exceeding the hunting capacity of even the most capable provider.
A number of options were considered as the VDGIF assessed the situation, including no intervention, providing supplemental food for the chicks, or separating them for placement in the nests of other eagles. Ultimately, the biologists and agency eagle expert determined that the most appropriate response would be to remove the eaglets and transport them to The Wildlife Center of Virginia (WCV). There the birds can be reared in specialized facilities and cared for by trained, permitted eagle rehabilitators until they are old enough to be released back into the wild.
According to VDGIF Biologist Stephen Living, "The agency recognizes that there is a very high degree of public investment in these birds. Thousands of people worldwide have watched these eagles over the years and followed their progress."
Living continued, "Without intervention, it is all but certain that one or more of these eaglets would not survive the next three months. Pulling the birds and sending them to the Wildlife Center gives them their best chance. The birds are already old enough to know that they are eagles and to recognize their siblings. Maintaining them as a family unit and releasing them together when they are ready to go will certainly improve their survival potential."
Nuckols Tree Care Service is assisting with the removal of the eaglets from the nest. They had participated in the banding of the eaglets that took place on April 21 and have been long-time supporters of the Eagle Cam project at the Norfolk Botanical Garden.
At WCV the eaglets' health will be evaluated and monitored closely throughout their treatment. They will be placed in an artificial nest that has been constructed in the Center's 200-foot eagle flight cage. Other adult Bald Eagle patients may also be in this enclosure. While the chicks will be separated by a physical barrier from direct contact with other eagles, the eaglets will be able to see other eagles flying and feeding. As they begin to fledge, the barrier will be removed and the young eagles will have full access to the long enclosure, to build their wing strength and to learn to fly. The goal would be to get the young eagles ready for release back into the wild this summer.
In 2008, an eaglet was removed from NBG because it had a growth on its beak caused by avian pox. That bird - known as Buddy - is not able to be released back into the wild and still resides at the Wildlife Center and serves as an education bird.
According to Don Buma, Executive Director of Norfolk Botanical Garden, "The eagles have put Norfolk Botanical Garden on the map. They have increased awareness and developed an appreciation of nature for millions of school children and Eagle Cam viewers from around the world."
Many people followed the progress of the Norfolk Botanical Garden eagles through the Eagle Cam hosted by WVEC TV 13 in Norfolk.

Food Habits
Fathead minnows are opportunistic omnivores that can be characterized as benthic filter feeders, sifting through mud and silt in order to find food. Freshwater sediments often contain a large abundance of algae and protozoans, which represent a significant proportion of the fathead minnow diet. Secondary prey items include diatoms, filamentous algae, small crustaceans, and insect larvae. In addition, brook sticklebacks represent one of few species also common within the Prairie Pothole Region that also prey heavily on zooplankton, placing a high probability of interspecific competition between brook sticklebacks and fathead minnows. Differences in size-selection and feeding strategies, however, allow fathead minnows to consume a broader variety of zooplankton prey. Flexibility in feeding may explain why greater densities of fathead minnows exist in this region as compared to brook sticklebacks.
Animal Foods: insects; aquatic crustaceans; other marine invertebrates; zooplankton
Plant Foods: algae; phytoplankton
Other Foods: detritus
Foraging Behavior: filter-feeding
Primary Diet: carnivore (Eats non-insect arthropods); herbivore (Algivore); omnivore

Harmony, Hops and HopeK2's Ophelia Young reports, firstname.lastname@example.com:
The American Cancer Society teamed up with local breweries, local bands, and 307 Magazine for their first annual beer fest: Harmony, Hops and Hope.
Those who were there attended agreed there is no better way than harmony and hops to raise money for hope. For a 25 dollar entry fee, one was able to sample as much beer as they desired.
There were in all 8 Wyoming breweries and 3 bands. They rocked Yellowstone Garage in Casper Saturday evening; those who attended forgot they were having fun for a good cause.
Among some of the jolliest who were there--cancer survivors. They were glad Casper was able to have a blast while contributing to a cure for a cancer.
Over 500 people attended--many look forward to this event next year.

What Questions Should Have This Tag?:
Questions include:
- Questions about the character sets in Ubuntu, using them, installing them, etc.
Basic Definitions:
Character Encoding - In computing, a character encoding is used to represent a repertoire of characters by some kind of an encoding system.
Brief Introduction To The Subject:
In computer science, the terms "character encoding", "character map", "character set" and "code page" were historically synonymous, as the same standard would specify a repertoire of characters and how they were to be encoded into a stream of code units – usually with a single character per code unit. The terms now have related but distinct meanings, reflecting the efforts of standards bodies to use precise terminology when writing about and unifying many different encoding systems. Regardless, the terms are still used interchangeably, with character set being nearly ubiquitous.

Oracle Warehouse Builder Release 11g is now available
By antonio romero on Aug 12, 2007
Oracle Warehouse Builder Release 11g for Linux is now available for download.
You can get it one of two ways:
- Download Oracle Database Release 11g, which incorporates the core OWB Release 11g product when installed;
- Oracle Database 10gR2 users can download Oracle Warehouse Builder Release 11g standalone, for use with Oracle Database 10g Release 2. You do not have to immediately upgrade to Oracle Database 11g to use OWB 11g.
Apart from the new features in the Warehouse Builder 11g release, the major change is the inclusion of Warehouse Builder in the default 11g database installation. Every Oracle Database customer will get Oracle's market-leading ETL capabilities right out of the box, with no extra effort.
The major new features for this release are:
- Availability of Siebel Connector, 11g Gateway support, and 11g Database support
- Simplified installation (incorporating installation of Oracle Workflow) and repository/workspace management
- Improved performance tuning (explain plan support, statistics gathering and SQL tuning advisor)
- Enhanced SQL Generation (advanced aggregation support, DML error logging in mappings)
- Better dimensional support (hierarchy versioning, more advanced binding options)
- Better support for federation (graphical creation of views including materialized views, full impact analysis and lineage, read/write support for more sources through new gateways)
Further, customers who take up Warehouse Builder 11g now will be well-positioned to take advantage of features in future releases, including:
- Integrated Sunopsis/ODI functionality
- Change data capture (CDC)
- Real-time data integration
- Web Services support
- Orphan management in dimensional modeling and ETL
- Better integration with Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition features
These were detailed in the Warehouse Builder roadmap laid out by OWB lead product manager Jean-Pierre Dijcks back in June, and demonstrated in a July webcast for the Oracle BIWA SIG.
We've been excited by the enthusiasm we've seen among customers and partners for OWB 10.2. As OWB Release 11g gets into more hands and its advantages become apparent, we expect that trend to continue.
Future blog posts will look in more detail at how the new release builds upon the already-leading features of deliver value to customers. But early adopters can jump in now-- download Oracle Warehouse Builder Release 11g standalone,or the full Oracle Database Release 11g,and see the improvements first-hand.

A New Berlin physician has been convicted by a federal jury on 16 counts of dispensing powerful painkillers without a legitimate medical purpose in violation of federal law.
Roger A. Pellmann, 55, who owns the Center for Medical Imaging and Vein and Laser Skin Care Clinics in Germantown, faces up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine when he is sentenced Sept. 17 by Chief U.S. District Judge Charles Clevert. The verdict was announced late Friday.
Pellmann gave large levels of painkilling narcotics to a nurse who worked for his clinics, according to court documents, illegally dispensing fentanyl and morphine between July and November of last year, according to court records.
Pellmann remains free prior to sentencing.

The pilot of an aircraft who lost his life along with three others in Nashville is praised for managing to avoid further deaths.
06:58, UK, Tuesday 04 February 2014
Four people have been killed as a light aircraft crashed in Tennessee, narrowly missing a suburban YMCA building.
Authorities say the pilot of the Gulfstream 690C aircraft saved many lives by managing to avoid the YMCA when the plane came down.
Several cars close to the building were damaged in the crash, but nobody on the ground was hurt, according to Nashville fire department spokeswoman Kim Lawson.
Local reports said the four people killed in the crash were all members of the same family.
The aircraft took off from Great Bend Municipal Airport Kansas, and crashed 10 miles south of John C Tune Airport in Nashville.
The cause of the crash is not yet known.

Investing in women-owned small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is one of the best ways to simultaneously achieve economic, financial, and social impact. Launched at the Summit of the Americas in April 2012, the Women's Entrepreneurship in the Americas (WEAmericas) initiative leverages public-private partnerships to increase women's economic participation and address three barriers women confront in starting and growing SMEs: access to training and networks, access to markets, and access to finance. Through these collaborations, the United States and its partners have made a number of key advances.
In addition to the U.S. government, WEAmericas founding partners included the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women, ExxonMobil Foundation, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women, Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Kauffman FastTrac, Thunderbird School of Global Management, Vital Voices, Walmart Foundation, and WEConnect International. Since the launch of WEAmericas, additional organizations have made contributions to the development and support of regional women-owned SMEs.
WEAmericas Progress
1. Access to Training and Networks
Walmart Foundation and the U.S. Department of State partnered to provide training to women entrepreneurs at the SME level throughout the region. In May 2012, a cohort of women entrepreneurs participated in an International Visitors' Leadership Program, during which they had the opportunity to attend an intensive business skills workshop by Kauffman FastTrac. In September 2012, the cohort of women, as well as women entrepreneurs from related U.S. Department of State women's networks, participated in a follow-on capacity building program carried out by Vital Voices, with a special emphasis on export and sourcing as strategies for enterprise growth. The cohort of women, now called the "WEAmericas Network," elected its first nine-member board and country representatives for each of the 20 countries represented within the network.
Through Secretary Clinton's International Fund for Women and Girls, the Walmart Foundation provided $1.5 million for the WEAmericas Small Grants Initiative to support broader economic empowerment and development for women-owned businesses in the region, particularly for indigenous and rural women. More than 100 applications were received for small grants ranging from $20,000 to $60,000; grant recipients will be notified in fall 2012.
As part of their 10,000 Women Entrepreneurship Partnership, in June 2012, Goldman Sachs and the U.S. Department of State brought a cohort of 25 women from the region to the United States for intensive business and management training at the Thunderbird School of Global Management. In October 2012, an additional cohort of 27 women from Haiti will participate.
The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women matched approximately 20 women from the WEAmericas Network with businesswomen and men across the world for a unique mentoring program through its Mentoring Women in Business initiative.
From August through October 2012, Google in Colombia worked with the U.S. Department of State to implement a series of workshops for approximately 200 women entrepreneurs on overcoming barriers to entry to technology, e-marketing, and website development.
In October 2012, the Secretary launched the FINPYME Mujer Empresaria Trust Fund at the Inter-American Investment Corporation, a member of the IDB Group. With an initial contribution of $900,000 from the U.S. Department of State, this Trust Fund will provide an easy way for government and private sector donors to support training for women entrepreneurs throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. When possible, the training will be provided at local small business development centers so women entrepreneurs can access these important resources right in their local communities. The pilot countries are El Salvador and Peru. This builds on successful efforts under another Summit-launched initiative, the Small Business Network of the Americas.
2. Access to Finance
The IDB's Structured and Corporate Finance Department (SCF) and Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF) partnered to launch women entrepreneurshipBanking (weB), an initiative to help financial institutions deploy innovative lending models that support growth in women's small and medium-sized businesses. The MIF is providing up to $5 million in technical assistance grants to transfer knowledge of effective lending models for women-owned SMEs and to train loan officers and credit managers in these products and services. SCF, through its financial markets strategy's beyondBanking program, is offering up to $50 million in loans, risk-sharing facilities, and partial credit guarantees. By doing so, SCF will share some of the risk of testing these models and generate opportunities for more inclusive finance with these institutions.
Since the launch at the Summit of the Americas, SCF has disbursed $5.1 million of a $12.8 million loan to Banco Pichincha in Ecuador—the first transaction under the weB initiative, while the MIF is currently analyzing the needs of Banco Pichincha for technical assistance funding to expand its women-owned SME portfolio. Through the MIF, $550,000 in technical assistance have been approved for Scotiabank Jamaica to further expand its SME loan portfolio with specific emphasis on women-owned SMEs. The MIF is also currently analyzing a possible facility with Itaú Unibanco, Brazil. One of the project objectives will be to connect 1,500 women-led SMEs, including graduates of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women program, with access to finance.
3. Access to Markets
The ExxonMobil Foundation and the U.S. Department of Sta
te have provided grants to WEConnect International to support their work registering and certifying women-owned businesses in Mexico. Through its work with the Subcommittee on Access to Markets on the Secretary's International Council of Women Business Leaders, WEConnect has also worked to provide women-owned businesses in Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Peru with market-access knowledge, resources, and opportunities. During these events, participating women will meet buyers and senior executives of large corporations and promote their brands to a network of international businesses.

Van Houtryve Wins at POYi, with Help from Crowd Funding
Tomas van Houtryve, whose "Behind the Curtains" photo essay has won this year's World Understanding Award at POYi, completed the eight-year project with the help of money he raised through the crowd-funding site Emphas.is. We don't know if this is the first crowd-funded project to win a major award, but we're pretty sure it won't be the last, given the scarcity of support for documentary photography at magazines, and the growing popularity of crowd-funding to underwrite long-term photography projects.
Van Houtryve is currently using Emphas.is again in hopes of raising enough money to turn his recent work on North Korea into a book and exhibition.
When we asked him why he turned to crowd-funding for "Behind the Curtains," he explained that he began "Behind the Curtains" in 2004, covering Nepal's Maoist revolution. "It was certainly a challenge to keep the project going at full force when the 2008 U.S. economic crisis hit, followed by the global media and advertising crisis in the following years," he says. In 2010, he won POYi Photographer of the Year – Freelance award. Still, he says, "I had to keep looking for new revenue streams, switching from mainly magazines to grants and eventually to crowd-funding.
"It started to feel pretty acrobatic to have to constantly think about shifting and reinventing business models while keeping my focus on the project."
In March 2011, he began looking for funding on his own site and on Emphas.is. "My proposal was to finish my 21st century communism project by taking a final trip to Laos.

How do I turn off the 'Default Document' feature in IIS so that it won't start when the computer is started?
I want to use XAMPP for local testing, but I can't start Apache until I stop the Default Document, because it is using port 80.
Before I can start Apache, I need to open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager from Control Panel > Administrative Tools. In the manager, I right click on Default Document and select Stop. This frees up port 80.
There was an option to disable the feature, but I tried it and the Default Document feature still started the next time I booted.
What can I do to disable it?
I am using Windows 7 Professional SP1 and IIS 7.5.7600.16385.

Juice Gone Wild!
Nutrition Action Healthletter Unpacks Confusion in Aisle 10
February 1, 2012
Minute Maid Help Nourish Your Brain 100% Fruit Juice Blend fairly typifies the new-fangled products in the juice aisle. Its mostly apple and grape juicetwo of the cheapest, least nutritious juicesthough its label uses big print to highlight smaller amounts of pomegranate and blueberry juice. Its labels also bear highly misleading non-sequiturs related to brain health, including Vitamin C is highly concentrated in brain nerve endings. But according to a review of juices in the current issue of Nutrition Action Healthletter, people worried about memory or brain development neednt waste their money on this Coca-Cola product.
Nutritionists agree that juice is better than soda. But juice is not good for the waistline, according to Nutrition Action. In 2006, an expert panel comprised of leading scientists recommended limiting daily juice intake to no more than eight ounces per day. Liquid calories arent as filling as solid foods, one of several reasons why its better to eat fruit than to drink juice. Plus, drinking juice may raise the risk of diabetes.
Juice makers, including Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, realize that consumers are concerned about losing weight and reducing their risk of diet-related diseases, said Nutrition Action senior nutritionist Jayne Hurley, co-author of the review. But no juice is going to perform miracles for eyes, skin, hearts, colons, or any other part of the body. That goes for just plain juice, and it certainly goes for a juice dressed up with some combination of water, artificial sweeteners, food dyes, or fake fibers.
Some orange juice labels, like those of Tropicanas Healthy Heart with Omega-3, imply heart health. But that juice has only 50 milligrams of EPA plus DHA from fish oil, a tiny fraction of what one would get from a serving of heart-healthy salmon. Minute Maid Heart Wise orange juice, on the other hand, contains a hefty one gram of beneficial plant sterols. Two grams of plant sterols per day can lower LDL, or bad cholesterol by roughly ten percent over a period of 8 weeks. Minute Maid wins, says Nutrition Action.
If youre watching your waistline, a different Tropicana product, Trop50 Orange has 50 percent less sugar and calories than regular orange juice. Of course, its 60 percent added water and only 40 percent juice and is sweetened with the safe high-potency plant-based sweetener Reb A (Pure Via). Trop50 is a smart choice if you like the sweeter taste, says Nutrition Action. (Some Trop50 products play the usual tricks, though. Its Pomegranate Blueberry variety has more apple juice than pomegranate juice and more grape juice than blueberry juice.)
Other examples of juice aisle trickery exposed in Nutrition Action include:
- Ocean Spray Cran-Energy Raspberry. To its credit, it only has 35 calories per serving. Its energy presumably comes from its green tea extracts 55 milligrams of caffeine and not added B vitamins. Otherwise, the drink is basically water, juice (again, more cheap grape than the touted, but more expensive, cranberry or raspberry), added vitamins, safe artificial sweeteners, and, to its discredit, Red 40 dye.
- IZZE. Most carbonated juice drinks like IZZE have no fewer calories than ordinary juice or cola, according to Nutrition Action. Once more, apple and white grape juice are the primary juices, even in IZZEs more exotic flavors, such as Sparkling Blackberry, Blueberry, Clementine, Grapefruit, Lime, Peach, and Pomegranate. The IZZE Esque line has 50 calories per 12 ounce bottle because its 25 percent juice. Nutrition Action suggests adding seltzer to nutrient-rich orange juice to make a lower-calorie sparkling juice.
- Vita Coco Coconut Water has more than 15 times the electrolytes found in sports drinks, according to the company, which goes on to advise that Life is hectic enough, and you should be hydrated when you do it. Any beverage hydrates you, according to Nutrition Action. And the only time one would need electrolytes in a drink is after hours of vigorous exercise. That said, coconut water has roughly just 40 fat-free calories per cup and is a decent source of beneficial potassium
- Welchs 100% Grape Juice with Fiber gives the impression that its fiber might come from the whole Concord grapeskins and seeds included. Rather, the fiber comes from the additive maltodextrin, a starch-like carbohydrate that resists digestion. Nutrition Action says theres no good evidence that maltodextrin, or the dextrin added to V8 High Fiber or Sunsweet PlumSmart and Prune Juice Light, confers the kind of benefits as the fiber found in naturally in foods.
Nutrition Action also calculated scores for various juices based on the levels of 12 vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids, plus fiber. Carrot juice led the pack thanks to its high vitamin A and potassium content. Orange juice ranked second, followed by tomato juice (low sodium variety), grapefruit, prune, pineapple, unsweetened cranberry, coconut water, and perhaps surprisingly, considering all the hype generated by POM, pomegranate. Apple and grape juice came in last.
Nutrition Action is published 10 times a year by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest, the nonprofit watchdog group that advocates for improved nutrition, food labeling, and food safety policies. Introductory subscriptions are $10. Nutrition Action is advertising-free and, like CSPI, accepts no corporate donations or government grants.

Texas Pushes Past Tech in Austin
Haley Schneider scored six points and five rebounds Wednesday.
Feb. 5, 2014
AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas Tech junior guard Amber Battle scored 16 points and freshman Diamond Lockhart added 12 but Texas used a big first-half run to push past the Lady Raiders, 88-51 on Wednesday at the Frank Erwin Center.
Battle scored in double digits for the 20th time this season and had 15 points or more for the 17th time as she eclipsed 400 points on the year.
Tech (6-16, 0-11 Big 12) found itself with a 6-5 early lead in the first half with Battle and Lockhart leading the way and senior Shauntal Nobles grabbing three of her game high 12 rebounds.
But Texas (15-7, 6-4) turned things around quickly the rest of the half and hit 15 of its next 17 shots (88.2 percent) during a 30-3 run that would put the Longhorns out front for good.
"I think you've got to give them a lot of credit," Tech head coach Candi Whitaker said. "They were making a lot of shots from the perimeter. They've got some great players and some big-time size inside. We wanted to try to protect the best we could from inside out and they were scoring inside, outside, really everywhere."
The Longhorns would keep the same pace throughout the rest of the game and had as much as a 37-point lead while outscoring Tech 48-4 in the paint and hitting 7 of 15 from outside the arc.
Lockhart came off the bench and scored 10 of her 12 points in the first half for her highest career total in Big 12 Conference play. It was the third time in four games that Tech had two players finish with 10 points or more.
"I was really proud to see Diamond not afraid to go make a play," Whitaker said. "All of her shots were very in rhythm and had good tempo to them. She didn't rush them. I thought she did a good job of reading the defense and I'm really proud of her performance."
Tech now turns its attention to a weekend trip to Fort Worth to take on TCU (13-9, 4-6) at 12 p.m. Saturday at Daniel Meyer Coliseum. The game will be broadcast nationally on FOX Sports Net.

Princeton University economists Alan B. Krueger, Judd Cramer, and David Cho released a study last week comparing the short and long-term unemployed in the labor market post the Great Recession of 2008.
Using the Phillips and Beveridge Curves to analyze U.S. unemployment data from 2008-2012, the economists conclude that the long-term unemployed were increasingly marginalized from the labor market, less likely to apply for a job or get hired. As a result, the long-term unemployed skew the overall unemployment rate of 6.7 percent, while the short term unemployment rates are at similar levels to the last recovery.
Among workers who had been long-term unemployed (without a job for 27 weeks or more), 64 percent were still unemployed 15 months later. Of the 36 percent who were reemployed, only 11 percent had been working full-time for at least 4 months.
Comparing the short and long-term unemployed, the authors find similar educational backgrounds across industries and occupations in both rural and urban areas, with a larger proportion of the long-term unemployed older (over age 50) and more likely to be single. For the year 2012, the long-term unemployed were 55 percent male and 45 percent female, with 51 percent Caucasian, 22 percent African American, and 19 percent Hispanic.
This study proves that the longer workers are unemployed, the less they are tied to the labor market from both a supply and demand side. They search less intensively for a job and as a result apply to fewer jobs. Congruently, employers are less likely to hire the long-term unemployed, thinking they will be less productive in the workplace.
This study suggests that individuals who are long-term unemployed grow discouraged the longer they are without work. Their continuing unemployment becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy – the longer they don't have a job, the less vigorously they search, and the less likely they are to obtain a job in the future.
In order to lower our employment rate and fully bounce back as an economy, we have to address the long-term unemployed and reintegrate them back into the labor market. The authors offer little by way of concrete monetary or fiscal policies to ameliorate this problem, simply suggesting, "The most important policy challenges involve designing effective interventions to prevent the long-term unemployed from receding into the margins of the labor market or withdrawing from the labor force altogether, and supporting those who have left the labor force to engage in productive activities."
From the supply side, if workers do find themselves unemployed, this study suggests the importance of becoming employed quickly after losing a job. If workers do find themselves long-term unemployed, they should try to remain productive during their unemployment, actively searching for positions, going on informational interviews, pursuing an internship or volunteering, or embarking on another personal enrichment activities.
When applying for jobs, the candidate should address sizable gaps in their work experience. Maybe the job seeker took off work for perfectly understandable reasons, such as raising children, taking additional courses, receiving a training certification, or pursuing freelance work. Perhaps they traveled extensively, went on a wilderness excursion, or suffered a loss or illness, all which could prove adaptability, strength, and resilience. If you are a worker that has been unemployed long-term, think of how you have improved in the time since your job. Whatever the reason for your unemployment, proving you have grown and are ready to reenter the labor market is important for successful rehiring.
From the demand side, if you are a business or employer, do not unfairly reject candidates due to resume gaps. Address their respite during the interview, focusing not on why they weren't able to find a job but how they grew or learned during their time off work.
Additionally, the government must make addressing the long-term unemployed a priority for the economy. A July 2013 paper by Gregory Acs of the Urban Institute offers solutions to the long-term unemployed. Acs writes that workforce development programs are the most direct way to address the long-term unemployed. These programs train the workers in skills that are directly transferable to the job market in the workers' location.
Secondly, Acs writes that public works programs, such as post-Great Depression schemes like the Works Projects Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps, create jobs for the unemployed. While there are potential downsides to this option, such as taking jobs from the private sector, these programs create jobs in industries where there are gaps in the private sector market. Finally, policymakers could make incentives for businesses to hire the long-term unemployed, such as a payroll tax credit, or offer reemployment bonuses to job seekers who find a job quickly.
As Krueger, Cramer, Cho, and Acs write, one approach or policy implementation will not re-employ the long-term unemployed. Instead, the problem will require coordinated action between employers, job seekers, policymakers, and communities to ensure that the long-term unemployed once again become productive, active members of the labor market.

The major news of the second part of the Bill O'Reilly and President Barack Obama Super Bowl interview that aired on Monday evening, Feb. 3, 2014 during the regularly scheduled The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News, came from their conversation on the XL Keystone Pipeline. The State Department released the Environmental Impact Statement, a report on Friday, Jan. 31 an "11-volume environmental impact study" on the Pipeline. During the interview with O'Reilly was the first time the President addressed the report's findings. After a three-month review Secretary of State John Kerry will make his final recommendation to President Obama.
The report determined that other current methods of transporting the crude oil from Alberta Canada to Texas, was more detrimental than the pipeline itself. The report also concluded constructing the pipeline would create 42,100 direct and indirect jobs and only 50 jobs once the project is completed. Mostly importantly the report stated; "Approval or denial of any one crude oil transport project, including the proposed Project, is unlikely to significantly impact the rate of extraction in the oil sands or the continued demand for heavy crude oil at refineries in the United States based on expected oil prices, oil-sands supply costs, transport costs, and supply-demand scenarios." Kerry has a three-month "review process" in which with the other relative agencies will submit their opinions, before he makes a final recommendation to President Obama.
O'Reilly asked the President if he intends give a go to the project; "Keystone Pipeline, a new study comes in, environmental impact negligible, 42, 000 jobs. You're going to OK it, I assume." Obama has repeatedly said that that the environmental issue relating to the pipeline has been his major concern, stating previously he would approve the project in his June 2013 speech on climate change "only if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution."
The Republican Congress, including Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-OH thinks President Obama is "out of excuses." Boehner also stated; "Middle-class families and small businesses continue to struggle in this economy, and the president's refusal to back this job-creating project is hurting our economy." Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky pressured Obama; "So, Mr. President, no more stalling - no more excuses. Please pick up that pen you've been talking so much about and make this happen."
While the Senate chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works committee Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-CA still vehemently opposes the pipeline; "I will not be satisfied with any analysis that does not accurately document what is really happening on the ground when it comes to the extraction, transport, refining and waste disposal of dirty, filthy tar sands oil. My biggest concerns continue to be the serious health impacts on communities, and the dangerous carbon pollution that comes from tar sands oil."
The President objected to the number of jobs the pipeline would create; "Well, first of all, it's not 42,000. That's not correct. It's a couple of thousand to build the pipeline." Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has insisted that the pipeline would create jobs, so does Republicans in Congress, but still President Obama seems to disagree stating in July 2013 that it was "a blip relative to the need."
The State Department has taken most of the responsibility towards for approving the pipeline which will cost $5.4 billion, The White House has said President Obama's decision will rely heavily on Secretary of State John Kerry final recommendation, which was what Obama said in the Fox News interview; "Well, that, bottom line is… the process now goes agencies comment on what the State Department did, public's allowed to comment, Kerry's gonna… give me a recommendation."
There is a concern that because Secretary of State John Kerry has been a supporter of environmental issues and climate change through his political career, and his decision might be biased. However, the State Department promises he will make an objective decision; "Obviously, the Secretary has a long record on environmental issues.... But he's going to make this decision based on a range of factors. There's a legal process that's underway, and he will follow that legal process."
The President wants to remain away from the center conflict and blame on the highly contentious issue. The "1,179-mile pipeline" would carry oil from Alberta's oilsands through to Texas Gulf Coast refineries. Harper indicated that 830,000 barrels of oil would pass through the pipeline each day, creating thousands of jobs and a definite boon for the economies on both sides of the border, with the U.S. economy to benefit by $3.4 billion. Republicans in the US Congress' both houses; House of Representatives and Senate support building the pipeline. However the pipeline faces fierce opposition from environmentalists and Democrats; members of Obama's own party are opposed to its construction.
After the network turned towards the Super Bowl on Feb. 2 the cameras kept recording President Obama and O'Reilly for a second half of the interview. A little less combative, but still deeply ideologically divided the two argued over the XL Keystone Pipeline State Department report published on Friday, Jan. 31, the persistent poverty problem in America, and Fox News fairness to the President, and the liberal and conservative divide over "big government" versus "self-reliance." The less sensational interview no longer had to stand out and compete with the Super Bowl, so it became a little more civilized, with less talking over each year and the two even agreed three times, a monumental break through.
The first part of the interview aired on Sunday, Feb. 2 before the Super Bowl. The conservative Fox News' live interview taped at the White House focused on issues most Americans and news media have long forgotten, but remain much alive on the Fox News network, including the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya and the IRS scandal that as the President pointed have been the basis of numerous Congressional hearings with no wrong doing found. Never mind the disastrous rollout of the health care law and in general the Affordable Care Act, which perennially remains opposed by Republicans.

I have slight problems understanding a thing about algebraic closures of fields. It seems to me that any algebraic closure $C$ of a field $K$ is a Galois extension, but I read that this is not true. Following are the definitions I use:
An extension $F/K$ is Galois if the fixed field of $Aut_K F$ is $K$.
Note that this definition is equivalent to the definition of F being simultaneously normal and separable over K but I want to use this one as it is this one that I have problems with.
Following is a theorem from my book:
Let $\sigma : K \rightarrow L$ be an isomorphism of fields. If $S$ is a set of polynomials in $K[x]$, $F$ a splitting field of $S$, and $S'$ a set of corresponding polynomials in $L[x]$, $P$ a splitting field of $S'$ then $\sigma$ extends to $F \cong P$.
All right. So my argument is as follows. Take any $u \in C \setminus K$. Then $u$ is algebraic with a nontrivial minimal polynomial, and at least another root $v \in C$. It is elementary knowledge that $K(u) \cong K(v)$. C is an algebraic closure, and therefore splitting field of all irreducible polynomials over $K(u)$ and $K(v)$. Then by the theorem, I should be able to extend the isomorphism to a K-automorphism of $C$ that switches $u,v$. These were chosen arbitrarily in $C$, hence there is a $K$-monomorphism affecting nontrivially every element of $C \setminus K$, hence by the definition, extension is Galois.
Where does this reasoning fail?

Griffin won a decision over the retiring Tito Ortiz at UFC 148 in July. This will be the fourth time in 2012 that Davis will fight. He dropped a decision to Rashad Evans in January, then his first fight with Prado ended in a no contest in August after an eyepoke stopped the bout.
This fight is another strong addition to the year-end card that is already looking good. UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos will rematch with Cain Velasquez. Tim Boetsch and Chris Weidman will square off, Joe Lauzon will fight Gray Maynard, and Alan Belcher will meet Yushin Okami.
Of course, it's October. There are still six weeks until this fight card happens. With the luck the UFC has had this year, this line-up will not make it to Dec. 29. Every fighter on the card needs to be careful around mirrors, avoid black cats and ladders, throw salt at every opportunity, and just stay healthy.

The Slow Food Revolution
We know that the migration of farmers into urban settlements has been a cause and a consequence of the imposition of an industrial model of agriculture.
This agro-industry model saved us from famine in the dark times after wars. Yet, it has not entirely solved the problems of many peoples. Above all, it has not solved the problem of the the countryside, which continues to be plagued by poverty. Moreover, methods of food production are largely responsible for the unsustainability of human activities. The indiscriminate use of chemicals, increasing CO2 emissions and the loss of biodiversity are just some of the major forms of destruction we are inexorably wreaking on a sick and stressed Earth, all because of food. If urban metabolism is consuming all the natural resources, the countryside must become the bulwark of defense and the prime example of how to apply new, non-invasive technologies and philosophies of sustainable production. The countryside cannot continue to be a place to be plundered, from which people, not without reason, want to flee. Instead, the countryside is going to be in the vanguard, and the new ways of producing and distributing food it defines will invade the towns. A progressive but inevitable re-localization of food systems is part and parcel of this process. Signs of this re-localization are already in evidence. Cognizant of this, young people in the countries of the North are introducing in the process innovative forms of agriculture and commerce. Organic methods are for these new farmers a sine qua non. These new farmers are trying a mix of new technologies and old farmers' practices that is proving far more useful and healthier than the indiscriminate use of invasive, massive monoculture techniques. If on the one hand there is great attention to the ecological side of rural activities; at the same time there is also a trend to get closer to the customer. This breaks the rule of large-scale distribution, which has imposed itself as the sole intermediary between the countryside and the towns, setting up systems and creating habits that have proved unsustainable and causing a total disconnect between the two dimensions. Farmers' markets in the United States and Community Supported Agriculture are just two examples of this new process. The patterns show one of the ways to re-localize agriculture, a phenomenon at least to be hoped for, and ultimately inevitable. This is the future scenario for the countryside: multiple small-scale production communities, integrated into a livable rural context, connected with the rest of the world, able to use local resources while respecting the environment and local cultures. Crucial will be the proximity of growers and customers, who, supporting each other, will be able to make their respective aims converge for a better quality of life. Technology will play an essential role in this sustainable rationalization. As for cultivation, by preserving and improving traditional varieties and species, by protecting the ecosystem and by implementing the potentialities of the 'terroir', renewable energy sources will be exploited, and new services will be offered to farmers so that they will not feel cut off from society. Indeed there will even be 'urban' farmers. Following the example of many towns of the global South, politicians and town planners will have to deal with how to guarantee that their citizens to 'grow the cities': roofs, terraces, green areas, private and school vegetable gardens, public areas all dedicated to the same use. In Havana (Cuba) and Freetown (Sierra Leone) there are already excellent examples of how to 'grow' a city in order to assure a food supply to the population. In St. Petersburg vegetable gardens are used for social programs. In the United States more and more gardens are being converted to food production. In San Salvador, citizens protect the soil from erosion by cultivating the main green areas of the city. Cultivating in the city not only provides the urban population with fresh, cheap seasonal food, it is also a perfect opportunity to earn money in the framework of local community economies. In the suburbs of Hanoi, for example, agriculture still accounts today for more than 50% of the people's income. Re-localizing food production does not mean reverting to obsolete agricultural models, or proposing early 20th century scenarios. Even with its limitations, it is a way to let agriculture become the protagonist again, in harmony with nature, which we will learn to use without destroying it. Sustainably integrated in a network, localized systems will reduce waste and the exploitation of resources, providing us with better food and guaranteeing the deserved dignity of farmers, to whose profession young people will again aspire. In this way, the countryside will become the protagonist again, a livable place of beauty where good quality food is produced for the local community, and where the environment and our planet are protected--chosen places for reclaiming a substantial portion of the urban environment. The countryside is not only the wave of the future, it is the future of our cities as well.
In the early 1980s Petrini laid the foundations for Arcigola, an association which eventually developed into the Slow Food movement in 1989. Among his many achievements is the creation of the University of Gastronomic Sciences. His latest work entitled Buono, pulito e giusto. Principi di nuova gastronomia (Good, Clean and Fair: Principles of a New Gastronomy) was published in Italy by Einaudi in 2005 and translated into many languages. In 2008 he was the only Italian to appear in the list of '50 People Who Could Save the World' drawn up by the prestigious British newspaper The Guardian.

ACT (Activated Clotting Time): a test to measure how long it takes for blood to form a clot.
Antibiotic: a medication given to treat bacterial infections.
Arterial Cannula: a large tube the surgeon placed into a blood vessel in the neck or chest.
^Return to Top^
Blood Gas: is a sample of blood taken from an artery or vein that tells how well your child is receiving oxygen. The sample is taken from an artery (ABG), from a vein (VBG), or from a capillary (CBG).
Bridge to Transplant: when ECMO is used to help pump the patient's blood to vital organs until a suitable heart transplant can be obtained.
CAT Scan (CT): a diagnostic test using x-rays to make a three dimensional image of the inside of the body such as organs. This test is performed to give the doctors more detail to provide better medical information.
Cannulas: tubes placed into blood vessels in the neck or chest by a surgeon that provide flow for the ECMO circuit.
Chest Tube: a tube that is placed in a space next to the lungs to help drain air or fluid.
Chest X-ray: a diagnostic test using x-rays to give the doctors a radiographic picture of the patient's lungs, heart, and other chest structures. These are performed daily in ECMO to assess cannula placement, chest tube placement, and lung condition.
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH): a life threatening medical condition that is present at birth characterized by a hole in the diaphragm or tissue that separates the lungs from the abdominal organs. The hole allows for abdominal organs to occupy the space that the lungs would normally grow in. Therefore, the lung(s) never develop to their normal size and do not function normally at birth.
Congenital Heart Defect (CHD): a medical condition, possibly life-threatening, which is present at birth and is characterized by an abnormal heart and/or heart vessels. The condition usually upsets the normal flow of blood in or out of the heart. These changes can cause the heart to work hard and less efficiently.
Decannulate: to remove the tubes from the blood vessels. This is performed by the surgeon when a patient is taken off ECMO. However, this can occur as an emergent complication while on ECMO during transport, a procedure, or anything requiring the movement of the patient while on ECMO. Accidental decannulation is an extremely rare occurrence at ACH as our patient transports both mobile and within the hospital for tests and procedures is exceptional.
a medical imaging tool using ultrasound to assess the function of the heart.
is a technique of providing both heart and lung support outside the body with a heart/lung bypass machine. It provides oxygen to patients whose heart and lungs are so severely diseased that they can no longer serve their function.
ECMO Flow: The amount of blood flowing through the ECMO circuit per minute.
ECMO Pump: The machine that controls how much support the patient's heart/lungs is receiving. It can act as an artificial heart for the patient and pumps the blood through the oxygenator membrane back to the patient.
ECMO Team: the team that is composed of specially-trained Physicians, Registered Nurses, and Registered Respiratory Therapists.
Electroencephalogram (EEG): a diagnostic test given to record brain activity using small electrode placed on the patient's scalp. This test provides information on the brain activity normal or abnormal and can provide information concerning seizure activity.
Edema: is the swelling that can occur in any tissue or organ due to the excessive buildup or increase in fluid.
Head Ultrasound: is a medical imaging tool using ultrasound to assess the head for bleeding and edema.
Heat Exchanger: a device used to warm the blood in the ECMO circuit before it returns to the patient.
is where blood is passed through a set of tubing (a filtration circuit) via the ECMO circuit to a membrane (the
filter) where waste products and water are removed.
Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH):
is bleeding in the brain common in infants, especially premature infants or those of very low birth weight, thought to result from changes in circulation to structures that are present in the growing brain. The lack of blood flow causes the death of brain cells and the breakdown of the blood vessels of those cells which leads to bleeding. This bleeding is itself a marker for injury that has already occurred however continuous bleeding can result in further injury to the brain. ECMO can increase the risks for bleeding because the patient receives Heparin an anti-clotting medication and an IVH maybe a reason for discontinuing ECMO support.
Life Threatening Asthma:
is a disease of the lungs in which the airway sometimes constricts, becomes inflamed, and may have large amounts of fluid or mucus, often in as a result to one or more triggers. In life threatening asthma traditional means of treatment may not successfully manage the illness and ECMO can assist to "rest" the lungs.
Meconium Aspiration (MAS): occurs when infants take meconium or stool into their lungs during or before delivery. This stool is sterile or germ-free but can cause serious problems for a newborn's lungs. ECMO can be utilized to "rest" the lungs until they regain their ability to provide oxygen to the infant.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):
a diagnostic tool used to see the inside structures of the body. This type of imaging is usually completed after a patient has been on ECMO as a follow-up procedure.
Membrane or Oxygenator:
an artificial lung that adds oxygen to the patient's blood on ECMO and removes carbon dioxide.
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN): a disease process in newborns where the blood pressure in the newborns lungs remains high and does not permit the regular flow of blood into the lungs to be oxygenated but rather mixes with blood flow to the body. The mixing occurs in the heart and/or through a blood vessel that should have closed shortly after birth called the ductus. The blood then supplied to the body is lacking oxygen.
is a disease of the lungs in which the small air-filled sacs of the lung responsible for taking up oxygen are irritated and flooded with edema.
are some of the basic mechanisms in the blood used for the formation of clots. Platelets are regularly monitored and replace in ECMO as the circuit consumes some of them from the circulating blood.
Respiratory Distress/Failure: is a medical term for the inability of the lungs to exchange oxygen and/or carbon dioxide. Respiratory failure can be shown by observing a drop in oxygen in the blood (hypoxia) and/or a rise in carbon dioxide (hypercapnia). The patient's physician can observe these things from a blood gas level.
Septic Shock:
is a life threatening medical condition caused by infection and sepsis (overwhelming bloodstream infection). Children are among the common victims as their immune systems cannot cope with the infection. The results of sepsis can be failure of the primary organs to work such as heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and even death.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest:
is the rapid stop of normal blood flow due to failure of the heart to beat well. Sudden arrest prevents delivery of oxygen to the whole body. Brain injury will probably occur if the sudden cardiac arrest is untreated for more than five minutes.
a machine that is attached to a tube in the patient's mouth or nose that delivers oxygen and removes carbon dioxide for patients who cannot breathe on their own.
Venous-arterial (VA) ECMO:
is a type of ECMO that provides support for the heart and lungs. One cannula is placed in a large vein and one cannula is placed in a large artery.
Veno-venous (VV) ECMO:
is a type of ECMO that provides support for the lungs only. One cannula is placed in a large vein.
Weaning: is a process of slowly getting the child off ECMO, off a ventilator, or off medications as the patient's condition improves.

Don't miss out - Sign Up TODAY!
Looney Labs offers a subscription service for retailers to automatically receive launch kits for each new Looney Labs release. Make sure you never miss out on our marketing kits again! This subscription service is available from your distributor (ACD, Alliance, Lion Rampant, Esdevium) or direct from Looney Labs!
Stores who are signed up for a marketing subscription will be marked as a Looney Labs Superstore and get a daisy next to their store listing on our online store locator.
Our launch kits always contain a demo copy of the game, at least one poster, a sell sheet. Occassionally they offer a demo copy of a re-release or another game and they almost always include a bundle of promos for the new release. For most Fluxx releases, we include a turn coin. Here is the turn coin for Cthulhu Fluxx:
This coin comes with your launch kit! Keep the coin for yourself, or give it to your best demo person. The person who receives the coin is officially a member of the Launch Team for that game. The coins are only available in launch kits, and only one kit is available per store through your distributors, so if there is more than one person in your store who simply MUST have one of these coins, they can join our Demo Team and purchase a kit for themselves while supplies last.
NOTE: With the launch of the Subscription Service, we stopped producing the X-displays (the full six game display with free demo copy that used to be available on launch). Retailers can now get demo copies through distributors or from Looney Labs in two different ways:
- Purchase a launch kit: you can sign up for the subscription service or order individually with each new product launch (available while supplies last if you're not a subscriber)
- Buy demo copies of any of our games at 70% off MSRP either through your distributor or direct from Looney Labs.
Thanks for promoting our games!
|What Retailers say About Our Marketing
"These kits are incredible. The opportunity to obtain quality promotional material in advance of release helps us implement professional marketing campaigns in store and effectively generate interest and sales around the release of each product. I wish every publisher had a program like this to allow us to best feature new and upcoming titles." - Dan Yarrington, Myriad Games
"Our customers really enjoy getting the promo cards as a preview and as a "look what I got!!!" It also helps sales and makes customers happy." - Sherri McGuire, Boardwalk Greenville
"The kits represent good value for money and certainly encourage more sales. The convenience of being able to get a demo copy of the game (which we would usually do in any case) plus promotional material in one pack makes sense." - Darrell Ottery, Eclectic Games
"Ever since we started getting the Looney Labs demo kits, we've seen a substantial increase in our sales of Fluxx and the newer Looney Labs releases. Many of our customers will play the games while waiting in the store for friends to show or tournaments to start, and then buy a copy to take home and play later. These kits have been more successful for us that we had thought." - Joe Becker, The Gamers Den
"Any store that carries Looney Labs products would be "LOONEY" for not getting the Demo Kits. They help sell product......period! Great Job in your marketing research. It makes carrying your product in our store a pleasure. And even more of a pleasure when we re-order over and over again." - Patty Pettit, Game Depot
"Those posters are awesome, Man. We put 'em in the windows and that really sparks interest. Also, we have an open copy of the game out, which we show to people who then put in an order. We also love playing the games with people, 'cause that makes them wanna buy 'em more." - Shana Hack, Moon Rabbit Toys
"I use the marketing materials in the Looney Labs Demo Kits to draw attention to the games. Once they are noticed, the games tend to sell themselves. The promotional cards are a nice incentive and build a great repeat customer base." - Charles Brubaker, That Game Place
"We run a family game night every week. Demo copies of games are an excellent tool for customers to try out a game before they buy it. Many times a customer will end up buying a great game that they never would have bought simply because we had an open demo copy out on display." - Nick May, Uncle's Games
"As much as we all feel everyone should know Fluxx, there are some that may have been living in a cave. The Monty Python demo-deck allowed us to not only showcase the fun-play that this set introduced to the Fluxx fans, it allowed Python fans to see just how awesome a Python game could be. 4 full displays sold of Monte Python Fluxx; and more of Zombie Fluxx - all due to having a demo copy to showcase the game(s)!" - Robert J. Guadagno, New Moon Comics
