We woke up to frost again, though it wasn't as cold as yesterday morning.
Thanks to sunshine and southerly winds, we're rebounding nicely! Temps should top out in the 60s with October-like weather for a change after days of temps more like November.
Don't get used to the milder air, though. A strong cold front moves through tonight – accompanied by a narrow stripe of showers.
The rain will likely move into Northwest Indiana around 2am and push through the Indy Metro by 7am. By sunrise, the pavement may be wet, but the rain should be over. Most areas will not see much rain, generally only a few hundredths of an inch.
Behind the front and after the showers, get ready for a colder, blustery Wednesday. Highs may only manage mid 50s with winds gusting 20+ mph.
That's likely to pave the way for another frigid night with lows by Thursday morning dropping into the low 30s. A hard freeze is likely for much of Central Indiana.
The real warmth arrives this weekend…but with a catch. In addition to highs in the 70s, we'll have rain chances. There could be some rain first thing Saturday morning, then a warm and breezy day Saturday. Then late Saturday night into Sunday morning, t-storms are possible – some could be strong or severe, so that bears watching.

1001 Bissonnet
Every day, dozens of yellow American school buses leave the United States on a southward migration to Guatemala, where they are resurrected as the brightly colored camionetas that take Guatemalans to work each day. Since 2006, nearly 1,000 camioneta drivers have been murdered for not paying the extortion money demanded by local gangs. Using an observational approach, the filmmakers of this vivid new documentary chronicle the experiences of those involved with a harrowing situation.
"The film wrings an almost bizarre amount of political, humanistic, and spiritual substance out of this limited frame." —Variety

Development of the R-12 was begun in 1950 under Theme N-2 (long range storable propellant missiles). D D Sevruk at OKB-3 of NII-88 conducted the first design work. His pre-draft project envisioned a missile of the same diameter as the R-5, but with 50% to 100% more range. Mikhail Yangel completed the project. He proposed the use of toxic but storable liquid propellants. His bosses, Mishin and Korolev, vehemently opposed this approach. They believed military rockets would be safer using cryogenic liquid oxygen and kerosene propellants. Nevertheless by 13 February 1953 Yangel had completed the development project plan for the missile, with technology tests being conducted at NII-88. Missile tsar Ustinov supported Yangel's approach, and it seemed the only way for the missile to be developed was to move the responsibility away from Korolev.
On 9 May 1951 a resolution had been issued creating an R-1 production facility at Factory 586 at Dnepropetrovsk in the Ukraine, with Vasiliy Budnik as its Chief Constructor. Ukrainian-born Communist Party leader Leonid Brezhnev was promoting the missile production factory and proposed to give Yangel a new design bureau on its premises. This would further the economic development of Ukraine and encourage the development of missiles using storable propellants. The decision was made to move Yangel and the R-12 there as well. A decree issued on 13 December 1953 ordered Factory 586 at Dnepropetrovsk to complete the R-12 design. On 9 July 1954 Yangel was named head of the facility and specifically assigned by Defence Minister Smirnov to develop storable propellant rockets for the army and navy. Development of the R-12 intermediate range ballistic missile was approved on 13 August 1955. The government resolution assigned the missile the industrial index 8K63 and scheduled trials for April 1957.
The draft project was completed in October 1955. A key issue during design was whether the missile could reach the 2,000 km specified range with the maximum allowable payload mass using the planned RD-211 engines - the thrust was simply too low. Engine designer Glushko had designed the RD-211 with four combustion chamber / nozzle assemblies. Each was double the thrust of the V-2-based RD-100 engine, but all four were fed by common turbopumps. Initial tests of the new-design cylindrical combustion chamber showed good results, and versions of this engine were being simultaneously developed for the R-7 ICBM (the RD-107, using liquid oxygen/kerosene propellants) and the Buran intercontinental cruise missile booster (RD-212, using nitric acid/kersosene).
The RD-212 was underpowered for the Buran application, so the design was abandoned and development undertaken of the RD-213 with 22% more thrust. A similar decision was taken in regard to the RD-211 for the R-12, which resulted in the RD-214. Development of the RD-214 began in 1955, and trials started in 1957. These included experimental tests to thoroughly ring out the motor, including on/off operations, off-stand component tests, and demonstrations of pulsed engine operation. Following this first series, necessary modifications were made, and the second test stand series was completely successful. In March 1957 a complete four-chamber prototype engine was installed in the R-12 'iron bird' at Zagorsk for integrated firings with the missile.
Yangel was also committed to providing the R-12 with the Soviet Union's first autonomous inertial navigation system. Korolev's rockets had all used radio-corrected guidance, which could be jammed in wartime. The inertial navigation system planned for the R-12 was tested on R-5M missiles before the R-12 began its flight tests.
For the R-12 Yangel selected the same simple cylindrical 'pencil' configuration as had been used on the R-5M. Korolev, passionately committed to optimum aerodynamics in rockets, favoured the conical designs and 'sharp point' configurations originated by captured German engineers. He declared 'this pencil will not fly'. In defiance of Korolev, the first R-12 test launch was made from Area 21 at Kaputsin Yar on 22 June 1957. 25 R-12's were launched in three phases of test and trials launches through 27 December 1958. The pad-launched version was accepted for military service on 4 March 1959. Khrushchev visited Yangel's Factory 586 in Dnepropetrovsk in July 1959, handed out awards to OKB-586 collectively, and personal awards to Yangel, L V Smirnov, and B S Rudnik.
Between 1956 and 1959 there was an internal controversy as to whether long-range rocket units should be formed within the Red Army, the Long Range AIr Force, or both. This was finally settled on 17 December 1959, when a new branch of the armed services, the RVSN Strategic Rocket Forces, was formed under Marshal Nedelin. The R-12 was to be the first widely-deployed missile for the new service.
Mass production was undertaken beginning in 1958 at three factories in addition to Factory 586: Factory 172 (PMZ Lenin) in Perm, Factory 47 (PO Strela) in Krasnoyarsk, and Aviation Factory 166 (PO Polyot) in Omsk. Omsk and Krasnoyarsk became subsidiaries of OKB-456 in December 1958 and September 1959, and production was stopped there in the early 1960's. Production finally was completed at Perm in 1967, with 2,300 of the missile being built.
Special launches of modified R-12's were made to test subscale versions of the Raketoplan and BOR series of spaceplanes. From 1967 Perm built several special variants for ABM field exercises and testing of ballistic missile countermeasure systems. These included the 8K63E 'List', 8K63K 'Kaktus', 8K63V 'Verba', and 8K63Kr 'Krot'.
Spetsmash began development of the mobile launch system for the missile in 1953. The R-12's launcher was a modification of that already designed for the R-5M. The concept was that the missiles would be stored in a shelter (the 'technical position'). In the vicinity of the shelter were numerous pre-surveyed concrete hard stands, from any of which the missile could be launched. The missiles had a guaranteed seven-year storage life in unfuelled condition. The response time of the missile (from go order to launch) depended on the 'readiness condition'. There were four of these defined for the R-12:
Compared to earlier missiles the R-12 differed in having the 430 kg inertial guidance system located in the intertank section between the fuel and oxidiser tanks. The oxidiser was AK-27I (27% N2O4 and 73% nitric acid) and the fuel TM-185 kerosene. The TG-02 Samin catalyst for the fuel was a Russian version of the German Tonka-250 formulation (50% Triethylamine / 50% Xylidine). The oxidiser was pressurised by gaseous oxygen, the fuel by air. Following burn-out of the single-stage rocket, explosive bolts separated the warhead and it was ejected pneumatically from the missile. Once launched, the missile had a time of flight of 11.8 minutes. Maximum velocity at burnout was 3530 m/s, and warhead accuracy 6 km in range, 5 km laterally.
In order for the missile to keep stability in transonic and supersonic flight, there were two oxidiser tanks forward. The lower tank was drained first in order to match the shifting centre of pressure as the missile accelerated. This had not been a problem in earlier rockets with liquid oxygen oxidiser, which was 33% less dense. The missile's control system regulated the flow from each tank before and after the missile went through the sound barrier.
Service History
On 15 May 1960 the first R-12 regiments were activated at Slonim, Novogrudok, and Pinsk in Byelorus, Pulnge in Lithuania, Gezgaly in Kazakhstan, and Sovietsk in Kaliningrad. Each regiment consisted of 2 to 3 launch divisions, each division of two batteries with one launcher. Therefore there were 4 to 6 launchers per regiment.
The engines in the first production missiles were found to pulse due to hot catalyst in the turbopumps. The problem was only fixed following a series of controlled tests of the engine and an aggressive quality assurance program for production missiles. The R-12 was first displayed publicly at a Moscow parade in 1961. American intelligence estimated that 2,300 R-12 missiles were built, with peak deployment being 608 silos and missile launchers in 1965. No Russian figures for production or deployment have been declassified.
The R-12 obtained international notoriety during the Cuban missile crisis. Khrushchev and the Soviet leadership decided to deploy three regiments of the 13th Rocket Division with R-12 IRBM's (24 launchers) and two regiments of longer-range R-14's (16 launchers) to the island of Cuba. The missiles would provide a deterrent to US attack on the island. It would also provide the Soviet Union with a missile deterrent force matching the American Thor and Jupiter missiles in Britain, Italy, and Turkey. By the middle of October 1962, 36 R-12's with nuclear warheads were in Cuba. This precipitated the Cuban Missile Crisis, bringing forces of the US and Soviet Union into direct armed confrontation. In the end Khrushchev agreed to withdrawal the missiles from Cuba. In exchange he obtained secret US assurances never to invade Cuba and to withdraw the Thor and Jupiter missiles.
By the mid-1970's a typical R-12 regiment consisted of two fixed base divisions and one mobile division. Each fixed division consisted of 2 batteries, each battery with 2 rockets. A mobile rocket regiment consisted of 5-8 launchers, 11-14 transport vehicles, 6-7 support trucks, and 41-52 fuel transports. During launch operations the control vehicle and the launcher were separated by 175 m.
A missile forces veteran remembers that the R-12 and R-14 were deployed primarily on surface launch pads. While he was in service he visited at least 15 launch sites: Sovietsk, Gvardeisk, and Znamensk in the Kaliningrad enclave; Taurage and Ukmerge in Lituania, Elgava and Dobele in Latvia, and Postavy and Lida in Belorussia. His own regiment in Priekule, Latvia had 6 silo-based R-14's and 3 R-14 on surface pads. Both the R-12 and R-14 used the same SP6 surface launch pad complex.
The R-12 was replaced beginning in 1977 by the SS-20 Pioner solid propellant missile. In 1987 the US and the Soviet Union signed the INF Treaty, eliminating intermediate range nuclear missiles in Europe. Under the treaty 149 remaining R-12 missiles were scrapped. Of these 65 were in military service at the time of the treaty signature and 84 were stored in weapons dumps. The R-12 missiles were withdrawn from service in June 1989 and destroyed in the presence of US inspectors at Lesnaya in Belarus. The final R-12 was destroyed on 23 May 1990. However the R-12 story was not quite over. It was reported in January 1998 that the R-12 design had been sold to Iran and formed the basis of their Shabad 4 IRBM. By 2004 it was said that this had been abandoned, but that R-12 technology had been applied to an improved version of the Shahab 3 IRBM.
R-12 Variants
A train-based R-12 with 'hot reload' capability was designed but never got into development. At the beginning of the 1960's a chemical warhead was developed for the R-12. This used the 'Tuman' cassette-type warhead to disperse the agent over a wide area after re-entry. A silo-based R-12U and a light orbital launch vehicle, the 11K63 Kosmos-2, were developed from the R-12, and are treated in separate entries. The latter used a new second stage to reach orbital velocity.
The R-12 was launched with live nuclear warheads on several occasions. In June 1961, in preparation for the first such test series, an attempt was made to fire an R-12 with a functional nuclear warhead without a fissile core toward the Arctic atomic test ground on Novaya Zemlya from a position east of the city of Vorkut. This launch attempt was aborted when an electrical fault was detected. Rather than risk firing the faulty missile, Yangel and Omsk Factory Head Kolnpayev shipped a new production rocket from Omsk.
The first live warhead tests were on 10/12 or 12/16 September 1961 as part of Operation Roza. Two R-12's propelled thermonuclear warheads with different yields from Vorkut and Salekhard to target areas on Novaya Zemlya. These launches were made by the same batteries that would be deployed to Cuba a year later.
Further end-to-end tests of the R-12 with a live nuclear warhead were made in June-July 1962 as part of Operations K1 and K2. In this case the prime purpose was to evaluate the electromagnetic pulse effect of nuclear explosions in order to design anti-ballistic missile systems, survivable radars, and missile silos. The R-12's were launched toward the prototype ABM site at Sary Shagan.
In October-November 1962 R-12's were used in operations K-3, K-4, and K-5 to explode thermonuclear warheads at altitudes of 300, 150, and 60 km. These high altitude tests were designed to test electromagnetic pulse effects on electronics, especially ABM system radars. They disrupted communications over a wide area for over an hour.
In 1958 the R-12 was selected, together with the R-2 and R-5, as target vehicles for tests of the Dunay-2 ABM system. 11 target flights were undertaken, 3 of them by R-12's. The first R-12 target flight was conducted on 4 March 1961 in a test of the V-1000 ABM missile. After completion of the state trials the Aldan ABM complex was declared operational. The S63U target version of the missile was used again in certification tests in 1976-1977 of the 3(V)350Zh missile.

Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev (L) with Yandex CEO Arkady Volozh at the company's Moscow offices
Leading Russian internet company Yandex has become the latest technology giant to invest in Israel's "Silicon Wadi", purchasing Israeli geolocation startup KitLocate.
KitLocate provides an energy-efficient alternative to other mapping and navigation software by only requesting users' locations when absolutely necessary, as opposed to on a consistent basis, thus saving battery-power.
The deal was reportedly sealed for an undisclosed multi-millon euro fee, and will also see Yandex gain a coveted foot in the door to the "startup nation" by opening an office in Tel Aviv.
KitLocate was founded in 2012, and went on to win the Israel Advanced Technology Industries (IATI) & MasterCard Israel Technology Award that same year.

Psst, peek inside here… When Big Artists Were Little Kids
By Greg Constantine
When More Big Artists were Little Kids is Greg Constantine's attempt to recall his own beginnings as an artist by imagining how famous artists started out.
He remembers filling all his school workbooks with drawings of sports, airplanes, cars and fighting soldiers. This became such a problem that pencils and paper were taken from him in order to focus attention on the necessary academic subjects.
Art not only survived in his life, but prospered in his pursuit to express his vision. Most artists have passed through a measure of this experience, ultimately making them stronger and more determined to follow their obsession.

Cable Internet service is a type of broadband connection that transmits data over a cable television network. Typically faster than DSL and cheaper than fiber-optic, a cable Internet connection offers a great balance of speed and affordability.
Enter your address to start finding cable Internet deals in your area!
How Cable Internet Works
Unlike dial-up and DSL, which transmit data over a phone line, cable Internet service uses the cable TV infrastructure to transmit data. Cable Internet users have a special cable modem, provided by the cable Internet companies themselves, that use a slice of the available bandwidth of the connection to download and upload information. Just like how a DSL connection does not tie up its phone line, a cable Internet connection does not affect the ability to watch TV throughout throughout the house.
Benefits of Cable High-Speed
Speed – Cable connections are incredibly quick, with some cable Internet providers able to deliver download speeds as fast as 100 Mbps
Consistency – While the speed of a DSL connection is based on how close your house is to the phone company, a cable connection will have a consistent speed no matter how far away the cable company is
No Landline Required – A cable connection does not require a phone line, which can help save you money
Price – Cable high-speed service typically delivers the lowest cost per Mbps in a given area
Always On – Unlike a dial-up connection, a cable connection is constantly connected and ready whenever you are

We are across the street from the San Diego Convention Center, overlooking Petco Park and the San Diego Bay. We're also close the San Diego Airport, Horton Plaza, the San Diego Zoo and the City's business district The Gaslamp Quarter Association is here to help!
The Gaslamp Quarter is the historic heart of San Diego, California. It is a 16½ block historical neighborhood in Downtown San Diego and is the center of downtown night life. The Quarter is home to many events and festivals, including Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp, Taste of Gaslamp, ShamROCK, a St. Patrick's Day event, the Gaslamp Auto Showcase and more.
Photo: Nick Biliotti
The area is listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places as Gaslamp Quarter Historic District. Its main period of development began in 1867, when Alonzo Horton bought the land in hopes of creating a new city center closer to the bay, and chose 5th Avenue as its main street. After a period of urban decay, the neighborhood underwent urban renewal in the 1980s and 1990s, and is today an energetic business and entertainment district.
The Gaslamp Quarter extends from Broadway to Harbor Drive, and from 4th to 6th Avenue, covering 16½ blocks. It includes 94 historic buildings, most of which were constructed in the Victorian Era, and are still in use with active tenants including restaurants, shops and nightclubs.
When development of the area began in the 1860s, the area currently known as the Gaslamp Quarter was known as New Town, in contrast to Old Town, which was the original Spanish colonial settlement of San Diego. The name "Gaslamp Quarter" is a reference to the gas lamps that were common in San Diego in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Four new gaslamps have been installed at the intersection of Market Street and 5th Avenue to evoke that time.
1850: William Heath Davis buys 160 acres in what will eventually become the Gaslamp Quarter. Despite heavy investment from Davis, little development happens in this period.
1867: Alonzo Horton arrives in San Diego and purchases 800 acres of land in New Town for $265. Major development begins in the Gaslamp Quarter.
1880s to 1900s: Now known as the Stingaree, the area is home to many saloons, gambling halls, and bordellos. The district was very popular with the locally stationed sailors.
1950s-1970s: The decaying Gaslamp Quarter becomes known as a "Sailor's Entertainment" district. The area was not very popular among the local community.
1970: It was only during this year that the public interest in preserving buildings downtown, especially in Gaslamp Quarter started
1976: The city adopted the Gaslamp Quarter Urban Design and Development Manual, aimed at preserving buildings in the area, and the redevelopment of Gaslamp Quarter as a national historic district.
1982: Gaslamp Quarter became the major focus of the redevelopments in downtown by the city of San Diego. And troughout the years to come the Gaslamp became known as one of the most dinamic and entertaining districts of San Diego.

The Gaslamp Quarter draws a cosmopolitan populace to its streets. While the Quarter is largely devoid of sky scrapers, and instead has high rise buildings, the architecture is sophisticated and reflects a period of Victorian-style development in the city. The name sake of the Quarter, gas lamps line the streets of the Quarter on all blocks of the area. The abundance of dining venues reveals international aspects of the city that provide people with a variety of dining options reflecting global cuisine.
Shopping venues abound in the Quarter. While numerous clothing stores occupy storefront locations in the Quarter, adjacent Horton Plaza is the larger shopping center accommodating numerous stores.

This chili recipe is light and and fast which makes it perfect for a weeknight meal. You can take a little help from the store by using canned organic beans. Be sure to drain and rinse them to get rid of excess salt. Beer adds a wonderful flavor to this chili but you can opt to use a non-alcoholic beer if you prefer. You can top this chili with whatever you have on hand: green onions, sour cream, cheese, tortilla chips and/or cilantro. Cornbread or tortillas served on the side would also be delicious.
1 large white onion, chopped
1 red or green bell pepper, chopped
1 package ground turkey (1 lb)
2 cans organic pinto beans
1 can organic kidney beans
1 can organic black beans
2 small cans of fire roasted tomatoes, chopped
1 bottle of Mexican beer (you can use non-alcoholic if you prefer)
2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp masa (you can find this next to the flour in the baking isle)
2 tbsp fajita seasoning (try to find one with cumin, chili powder and paprika and low sodium)
salt and pepper to taste
In large pot or dutch oven cook the onions and bell pepper until soft and translucent, approx 5 minutes. Next, add the ground turkey and season with salt and pepper. Drain and rinse the beans and add to pot. Add tomatoes and fajita seasoning. Add 3/4 bottle of beer and simmer for 10 minutes. Add chopped cilantro and mix the remaining beer with the masa in a small bowl and add to chili. Simmer another 10-15 min until the chili thickens with the masa. Ladle into bowls and serve with toppings of choice and cornbread or tortillas (opt). Enjoy!

Entering this afternoon's contest with the St. Louis Blues, the Pittsburgh Penguins had an opportunity to clinch a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a victory over St. Louis and if the New Jersey Devils defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs later tonight. Other scenarios were a win over the Blues plus losses by the Detroit Red Wings and the Columbus Blue Jackets. Well, the Blues put a stop to that right away for the time being with a 1-0 triumph over the Penguins in a goaltending duel between Brian Elliott and Marc-Andre Fleury.
The first period had a similar look and feel to it as the opening period between the Penguins and Lightning the afternoon before. The only real contrast between the two was all the power play opportunities the Penguins had against the Blues. Pittsburgh had three chances with the man-advantage with all of them coming after the halfway point of the period. The period came to a close with the score tied at zero, but the Penguins would have a two-man advantage to begin the second period after a hooking penalty on T.J. Oshie and a tripping penalty on Jaden Schwartz. Not only was the score tied, but so was the shots as both teams were gridlocked at ten shots apiece.
The second period saw the intensity pick up a bit between the two sides. Around the thirteen minute mark, Craig Adams laid a hit into Ryan Reeves. Maxim Lapierre took exception to Adams' clean hit and made an attempt to drop the gloves with the Harvard grad. What followed was basically a hugfest, and Lapierre was assessed minors for charging and roughing while Adams only got a lone roughing minor. The Penguins were unable to take advantage of the power play, and the period ended with the score still tied at zero. Unlike the first period, the Penguins led in shots, 13-8.
With Marc-Andre Fleury and Brian Elliott being brick walls in goal, something had to give going into the final period. That moment came about eleven minutes into the frame. Evgeni Malkin took a hi-sticking penalty against David Backes to put the Blues on the power play. The Penguins killed off the penalty, but at that same moment in time, Backes tipped an Alex Steen shot from the slot past Fleury to put St. Louis ahead, 1-0. Pittsburgh would get another power play chance with about five minutes remaining, but no dice. Brian Elliott held the fort the rest of the way, and prevented the Blues from losing three straight games for the first time this season.
The Penguins continue their homestand against Western Conference opponents when the Phoenix Coyotes venture into Pittsburgh on Tuesday night (7:00 pm/et; Root Sports, FS-Arizona).
-Both teams were a combined 0-for-7 on the power play.
-Evgeni Malkin had a game-high seven shots, and probably could've scored on a few of them if Brian Elliott wasn't on top of his game.
-A Stanley Cup Final matchup between the Penguins and Blues would be something to see.
-In tune with the March Madness season, Sidney Crosby chose Michigan St. to win the NCAA Tournament, so there's that.
1. STL G Brian Elliott (33 saves, 1.000 save %)
2. STL C David Backes (1G)
3. PIT G Marc-Andre Fleury (26 saves, .963 save %)

Devon Denman was kidnapped in Missouri, but the story has a happy ending. The missing boy, found in New Mexico, will be reunited with his father after being kidnapped by his mother and the a registered sex-offender. Police discovered the boy after a high-speed chase and a gun-battle with New Mexico police. The boy was recovered, unharmed, but the people accused of taking the boy remain at large. The boy was taken from Lake Ozark, Missouri and was recovered in Gallup, New Mexico, which was over 1000 miles away.
Read more about the recovery of Devon Denman, the missing boy found in New Mexico, and see a video of Devon's grandfather discussing the recovery of Devon Denman.
According to reports Devon was found after police pulled over the vehicle he was in after observing a broken tail-light. The car pulled over, but then drove off and fired shots at police. After a high-speed chase, which at times exceeded 100 mph at times, the suspects ran over stop-strips and then fled on foot after firing more shots at police.
Devon's grandfather, Larry Denman, stated the following:
"I'm on top of the world right now," said Larry Denman. "This is the kind of thing that you see on the news and you hear about it happening to other people and then when it happens to you, you think to youself how do you live like this. What do you do? My greatest fear was that they would basically disappear."
So, Devon Denman, the missing boy found in New Mexico, will be reunited with his father, but his kidnappers, his mother and a registered sex-offender, are still on the run. Hopefully they will be caught soon and brought to justice. The best part of this story is that Devon Denman was recovered unharmed and will be reunited with his father and brother, and will be returned to Missouri. So, what do you think that should happen to these suspects after they are captured? Feel free to share your thoughts below.

Good Purchase

Taste is ok. Not too bad
Into the trash! Airborne brand was much better
Posted by shoppingmama on Feb 15, 2016
The taste was very artificial and I couldn't make myself finish the three tubes pack that I purchased. The unopened 2 tubes turned spoilt before their 2019 expiry date even when the tubes were unopened. I prefer AIRBORNE which tested much better and works wonders in perking me up and helping my immune system. ****** Click on my page link above to read about my favourite iherb purchases for my family. I test a lot of products to know what works best and write each review only after trying! Please click YES if you find my review helpful. Thanks a lot!*****
I'd rate it 0 stars if I could.
Posted by 5137965224977362022 on Nov 19, 2015
I bought this thinking it'd be better than the Airborne fizzes but it wasn't and it end up costing more to boot.
love it!
Posted by 4832693560986133919 on Jun 30, 2015
I've been having it whenever I feel a cold coming and because I dissolve it in warm water it's soothing and makes you feel good that you're being proactive with the vitamins. :)
Posted by 4707110390983848398 on Jan 12, 2015
I have been taking this product for a few years. I swear by it. When I start to feel the slightest bit ill, I take a dose. My husband swears by it too. I also take it when ever I have been in contact with sick people. Wellness Fizz is a miracle, believe it has saved me over and over again from getting sick. I would highly recommend it.

Whether you're pitching yourself to an admissions officer or for a new job, the most important thing is to be able to communicate what is special about you. This is called your value proposition today. If you can't tell it, you can't sell it.
Companies and schools alike are looking for a compelling reason to hire you or take you as a student in their program.
This is sometimes called your elevator speech, two- minute pitch, or even 15-second pitch. When I work with my clients, it is a challenge to help them develop a pitch that shows their uniqueness. Keep it short and simple.
Laura Allen, co-founder of 15SecondPitch.com, a New York-based company that helps individuals and companies develop better sales pitches says," "Remember the Three C's when designing your sales pitch; your pitch should always be: COMPELLING, CREATIVE, AND most importantly CONCISE." She says, "If you don't grab your prospect's attention in the first 15 seconds of any conversation, you've lost the sale for good." It is critical to let people know exactly why your product or service is the best and how they can do business with you. Most people are extremely busy, so spend some time really crafting an excellent sales pitch that you know like the back of your hand. Ms Allen adds, "I tell my clients that it is critical that they memorize their pitch and have it down cold. You never know when you might meet the perfect prospect in an elevator and you'll only have a few seconds of face time, not minutes, to deliver your pitch." She also stresses that follow-up is key. " You might not close the deal in 15 seconds flat, but you can certainly give them enough juicy details so that they'll remember you and take your call when you go to follow up."
Janine A. Schindler, CEG owner of JAS Coaching & Training (www.JasCoaching.com) a New York- based firm with a global client base, has these tips:
1. "Know yourself. Personal branding is not about building a special image for the outside world; it is about understanding what is truly unique about you - your strengths, skills, values and passions - and using that to differentiate yourself and guide your career decisions. What are your brand attributes?
2. Know your competitors. How can you stand out unless you know those among whom you're standing? In other words, who are you really competing against? Your current colleagues? A larger group at your current workplace? Others within your industry? Take another look at your goals, and take a closer look at your competition. If you see yourself making major career changes, your competitors are not likely to be your current colleagues. If you are planning a straight-ahead trajectory to a more senior position, it may be easier to identify the competition and their brand attributes.
3. Know your target. To be successful, it's not enough to have a personal brand. You need to communicate it to the right people. It would exhaust your resources to aim for the world at large. Just like Mattel knows that their target audience is glued to the television on Saturday morning, you too must understand how and where you can reach your audience."
Using social media like LinkedIn are great resources for reaching targets.
How to get in the door
Whether you're pitching yourself to an admissions officer or for a new job, the most important thing is to be able to communicate what is special about you. This is called your value proposition today. If you can't tell it, you can't sell it.

The 21st-ranked Diamond Dogs won for the fourth time in five tries at the league's annual year-end party. MSU is back in the conference championship game for the first time since 2005 with Saturday's 2-1 win over No. 12 Kentucky at Regions Park.
MSU (38-22) will face Vanderbilt (33-25), which rallied for an 8-6 win over Florida Saturday, in Sunday's title matchup. Game time is set for 2:30 p.m. The contest will be televised nationally by ESPN2 and will also be available on-line through ESPN3.com. The radio broadcast can be heard on the MSU Radio Network and online through HailStateTV subscription.
The contest pits two of the hottest teams in the league. MSU has won 15 of its last 20 games against conference opposition, while Vanderbilt has won nine straight and 12 of 13. Earlier this season, the Bulldogs took a weekend series, two games to one.
MSU is 3-1 all-time versus Vanderbilt in the SEC Tournament. The Commodores took a 3-2 win when the teams last met in 2007. This is the first-ever MSU-Vanderbilt matchup in the championship.
The NCAA will announce its regional host sites prior to Sunday's championship game. Whether the Bulldogs are selected to host or not, they should be highly-seeded when the full 64-team regional tournament field is announced at 11 a.m. Monday on ESPNU.
"It is all about determination," MSU head coach John Cohen said. "These kids come to the ballpark every day expecting to win. Yes, we have played five games in five days against some of the best teams in the nation. We have played in the heat of the day, but none of that matters to this bunch.
"The goal is simple - find a way to a win a ballgame."
MSU has now four conference tournament games on five different occasions. The Bulldogs will be back in the title match for the first time since besting Ole Miss 4-1 in the 2005 championship game. MSU will be trying for its seventh conference tournament championship and fourth such title in this venue.
Saturday's victory also allowed MSU to match last season's win total with victory No. 38. The Maroon and White also knocked off the Top-15 Wildcats for a fourth time this season - that is a first in program history.
The semifinal triumph was wrapped in the proper colors the same way as many as those other 38 victories. MSU played the bunting game to perfection and turned two critical sacrifices into run-scoring opportunities in the second and third innings.
From there, a dominant MSU pitching staff brought the contest home. One of the league's best offensive teams was held to 13 total runs in five contests by the Bulldog hurlers.
"With our pitching staff, we know it just takes a couple of good innings," MSU sophomore shortstop Adam Frazier said. "As hitters, we have to make adjustments and find a way to put some balls in play. We did that today."
While the temperature was warm enough to make any Bulldog hot, Frazier has taken warmth to another level. Hitting safely in 50 of MSU's 60 games this season, Frazier has a tournament best 11 hits in 20 at-bats at Hoover.
In the MSU second inning, Demarcus Henderson singled and took second base on a Mitch Slauter sacrifice. Wes Rea followed with an RBI-single.
Kentucky (43-16) answered quickly with the first of J.T. Riddle's three hits being a game-tying solo home run.
Not deterred, small ball pushed the Maroon and White into the lead for good an inning later. Frazier started things with a leadoff single. This time, Brent Brownlee had the sacrifice. Trey Porter followed with a two-out RBI single.
From there, the pitching quarter of Luis Pollorena, Ben Bracewell, Nick Routt and Jonathan Holder sealed the deal.
Routt (3-5) worked 3.1 innings of three-hit shutout relief, in place of Bracewell. Bracewell had followed Pollorena to the hill in the third inning. Jonathan Holder worked around a leadoff error in the ninth inning for his ninth save.
MSU pitching held Kentucky to nine hits, and struck out eight, while walking two.
UK starter Corey Littrell (8-2) worked six innings, allowing six hits and two runs (both earned), with six strikeouts and two walks. Both setbacks for the UK ace have come to the Bulldogs.
Thomas McCarthy and Zac Zellars each had multiple hits for the Wildcats. McCarthy tied a tournament record with three doubles in UK's 5-1 win over MSU earlier in the tournament.
Frazier was the only multiple-hitter for the Bulldogs.

Congrats, you have just described being in office in every country in the world!
The nominees are starting to emerge for the 2014 Presidential Elections now. Not being here long enough to really have any kind of feel for what is going on, I do wonder a few things.
Are any of these nominations actually qualified to be head of a nation?
Is the campaign a routine of smiling, being seen, handing out some food, and making promises you most likely can't keep?
Is being elected just being the winner of a popularity contest?
Once elected, will the new President enter office and be so overwhelmed at being in something over their head that it returns to just status quo?
Some love to milk Apostate.
Congrats, you have just described being in office in every country in the world!
I go vote just to keep the clowns out of the office and don't hope for more than that.

When my little cowgirl turned 5, I went ALL out! She loves horses and anything Cowgirl! With grandparents who own a ranch, it wasn't hard to throw the ultimate cowgirl party!
My inspirating was my friend, Angela, at Oh Sugar Events, she gave me some great ideas and so I ran with them! The decor was shabby chic meets cowgirl; with fabric banners, burlap and mason jar vases.
Food was simple, sack lunches for the kiddos and friend chicken and potato salad for the adults. Desserts were strawberry shortcakes in a jar, decorated cowgirl cookies and s'mores on a stick.
The kids enjoyed sack races, the ring toss and what's a cowgirl party without a little horseback ridin'! Yee-Haw!!

The ski season in Tahoe will close down on April 20th at most Tahoe resorts. There may be a weekend or two after that, but the reality is that it's just about over.
The only resort, as of now, that plans on putting in another week is Squaw Valley. They are projecting an April 27 closing date. There's not much that could change that date. It would take a massive snow laden storm to extend the ski season at Squaw, or anywhere else.
The season in the back country for cross country skiers is already over. There's probably a randonee or Telemark skier or two who will hike up to Elephants Back or Red Lake Peak and give it one more shot. What's likely to put those kinds of plans on hold is the ever present danger of skier caused avalanches in the current snow conditions.
There is still time to carve out some nice turns before the bullwheels quit spinning. The trick is to go early, ski through the early icy snow to better conditions about 2 hours or so later, and then call it a day. Depending on your choice of resorts, this tactic will involve differing start times in the mornings.
Typically at this time of year, especially this year, the warmer temperatures during the day are replaced by freezing temperatures in the high country. That slushy mid-day snow freezes overnight, and the next day the process repeats.
Alpine Meadows is jumping into the end of this season with glee. Their 31st annual Snow Golf Tournament will kick off at 9 a.m. on Saturday, April 12. Strap on your skis and join the fun starting at the Summit.
Alpine Meadows supplies the tennis balls and clubs, score cards and rules, you provide your golfing skills and snow skills, and chase the course down hill, according to Melissa Brouse and Amelia Richmond, the PR team at Alpine and Squaw. It's best if you wear you best and wackiest golf outfit.
Last tee time is 12:30 p.m. and the entire tourney is over by 3:00 p.m. in time for the awards on the Sun Deck. Golfing in the snow is a hoot, and considering the crazy season, a bit of hilarity at the end is good.
For pass holders and anyone with a pass for the day, this event is free. Really, how can you go wrong?

Garden Tour: Middleton Place9 photos
Take a virtual tour of Charleston's Middleton Place, America's oldest landscaped garden.
Camellia Allee
Easy-to-grow camellias love acid, well-drained soil and filtered light. They thrive under live oaks and magnolias, for maximum Southern charm. Middleton horticulturalist Sidney Frazier suggests the 'Alba Plena' and 'Debutante' varieties for compact spaces and 'Pink Perfection' or 'Glenn 40' if you can give them room to roam.

Cocotte Restaurant Review: Occupying a Nob Hill space outfitted by designer Jean-Michel Fabregon that was formerly home to Hyde Street Bistro, earthy-hued and cozy Cocotte has the same owner-chef, Sancerre-born Mikael Audry, as the departed HSB. Audry uses mostly organic ingredients produced in Northern California to create rustic favorites from his homeland: sea bass bouillabaisse, rabbit à la moutarde and mussels marinière spark Gallic memories --- not of Paris, per se, but of lingering village repasts. Slow-cooked coq au vin, golden-crowned goat cheese potato gratin, and sweet dreams banana crème brûlée are signature dishes sure to warm up any foggy night. Sweet and savory weekend brunch options include lobster salad, duck confit omelets, croques monsieur and --- surprise! --- french toast, made with almond milk and fresh berry coulis. Groups of diners are encouraged to share dishes, tapas-style.

|What do you want every kid to know about the Earth?
We can protect our planet by recycling.
|I think kids should know that the Earth changes constantly. It's a very complex system, just like your own body. All of its parts are interacting all the time, and the system works amazingly well.
Unfortunately, sometimes people change the environment on the Earth in ways that could potentially hurt the system, and us, greatly. So we have to take care of the place where we live. For example, we can conserve the Earth's natural resources by recycling newspapers and not wasting water.
The Earth is the only planet we have. We have to protect it.

Money-saving tips for the wealthy
By Dani
M. Arthur Bankrate.com
Everyone loves a deal, especially the rich.
Why pay full-price for a weekend jaunt to the Caribbean
or be subject to retail pricing on a case of exquisite French Bordeaux?
Surely, you can do better.
We've gathered some frugal-living-for-the-upper-crust
tips from travel agents, wine sommeliers and other experts around
the country to guide the bargain-hunters with a little extra in
their wallets.
And don't worry. Even if your annual income is equal
to the yearly "mad money" budget of a CEO, you can travel
or dine in style if you're willing to be flexible and plan ahead.
Don't mark your calendar, just
The more flexible your window of travel -- when your trip starts
and how long it lasts -- the more options there are for savings.
Supply and demand affect travel costs, says Fred Snow, a travel
associate with TravelWizard.com. For instance, if you want to take a cruise
and insist on traveling in June, you'll pay more. Cruises that cater
to families will be more expensive in June when school breaks for
the summer. But if you can go in May instead, it's less expensive
and the weather is the same. The same principle follows
the winter and spring breaks.
Let the professionals be your
Take advantage of services offered by travel agencies. Their contacts
and professional knowledge allow them to custom-build your itinerary
and set a smooth course.
But don't assume that an agent's services are free.
Traditionally, travel agencies made their money through suppliers,
not from consumers, but that is changing. Airlines have cut travel
agent fees, so an increasing number have responded by charging fees
directly to travelers.
Plus, travel agencies that belong to a travel consortium
have increased buying power and can offer complimentary tours, room
upgrades and extra amenities at no additional cost. Remember, if
you plan on your own, you're on your own if glitches take place
or you have questions.
Time is of the essence
Every region has a peak season and a shoulder season. For the best
deal, travel off-season. Typically, the peak season for Europe and
the Mediterranean is summer. Winter and summer are peak for the
Caribbean. Expect prices to be inflated as much as 30 percent to
60 percent in peak seasons, says Shel Horowitz, owner of FrugalFun.com and author of The Penny-Pinching Hedonist: How to Live Like Royalty with
a Peasant's Pocketbook.
Likewise, it's cheaper to travel midweek than over
the weekend.
Early bird gets the deals
Cruise lines offer many early-booking specials, and you'll save
more on air fare if you book early to get to the port city. While
you may be able to net a low-priced, last-minute cruise deal, the
last-minute air fare is more expensive, Snow says.
Stay, eat, play -- for one price
Check out an all-inclusive resort for savings. One price includes
your accommodations, meals, snacks and entertainment. This is a
great family deal, especially if complimentary lessons and kid's
activities are part of the package deal.
Cash in on credit card air miles
Use your credit card to make monthly purchases and pay that balance
off every month. The benefit: You'll accrue air miles faster. Cash
them in for ticket upgrades and free travel.
Try the art of negotiation
Travel with the principle that it never hurts to ask for a little
more. You can always ask for upgrades, whether it's a hotel or transportation
costs. Often you'll actually pay less for the upgrade than you would
had you bought first class originally, according to Horowitz. Save
your negotiating for those in management; you'll be more successful.
Rental cars for less
Shop early over the Internet. You can book a rental car in the low
season for less, even if you'll be using it in the peak season,
Horowitz says.
Calling home
Avoid using your hotel long-distance service, as up to $3 to $4
can be tacked on to each call.
Avoid tourist traps
Research places of interest to visit before your trip, or visit
the local visitors' center. By traveling off the beaten track, you'll
avoid the money-consuming tourist traps. Plus, you're often treated
to a more interesting vacation, highlighted with personal glimpses
of the local culture.
Online travel agency cautions
Many online travel agencies offer great last-minute deals for cruises
and other vacation packages. Before you purchase a package deal,
shop and compare.
Verify the information by speaking directly to a representative
at the travel agency to confirm all the details. If you're unable
to get someone on the phone, forget it. The potential for frustration
is not worth the potential savings.
Other online travel agency tips include -- watch for
restrictions in the fine print and budget for hidden expenses, such
as taxes, surcharges, valet service and gratuity not included in
the package price. Finally, make sure the online agency is licensed
to operate in its state and belongs to a travel association.
Dining deals on the town
Enjoy fine cuisine without forking over your bank account. Peruse
the food sections of the local newspaper to find weekly restaurant
promotions and specials. Take advantage of two-for-one dining deals
and coupons. Check out new restaurants. Often, the new eatery will
offer special pricing during its first few days of business.
When you're traveling or even in your own town, take
advantage of the visitors center. You'll find great restaurant discount
Enjoy Florida's state bird --
the early bird special!
While the "early bird special" is predominantly a Floridian
special, it's starting to migrate to other U.S. cities. Restaurants
encourage patrons to eat dinner before the evening rush by offering
a special, although more limited, menu for a cheaper price. Generally,
the special pricing includes an entire meal from salad to dessert.
Time to eat
Do lunch. Go to the lovely French bistro or seafood cafe you've
been longing to check out. Lunch menus usually offer the same entrees
as dinner, just smaller portions and a smaller check.
Another cost-cutting palate pleaser: Dine out during
the week, rather than the weekends. Often, the menu prices climb
over the weekend.
Share an appetizer
Normally it's too much food for one individual to enjoy both an
appetizer and an entree, so share the appetizer. A good rule of
thumb is to buy one fewer appetizers than dinners, or to buy a combination
appetizer for the table.
A frequent diner?
Join a diner's club, and save on more than meals. The International
Diners Club lets you accumulate points for airline, hotel, car
rental, merchandise, retail and restaurant expenses. And redeem
these points for the same expenses, plus U.S. savings bonds or charitable
Picnic on local fare
"One of my most memorable meals was when traveling to Mexico,"
says Horowitz. "My wife and I purchased freshly made tortillas
still warm from a local vendor, bought perfectly ripened avocados
from the market, and had a picnic. The total cost was about $1.50
per meal. Not to mention the relaxing, fresh atmosphere is free."
Prix-fixe when abroad
Make lunch your big meal of the day with the prix-fixe --
a fixed-price menu. This meal includes up to four courses for one
price, lower than meals on the regular menu. When traveling abroad,
this is a great deal. In America, it tends to be higher priced.
And, for the wine connoisseur
Shop regularly with a retailer that you like and trust. Retailers
will give long-term customers good deals on great wines. Plus you'll
develop a "taste rapport" with the retailer, says master
sommelier Evan Goldstein of Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines in
Napa, Calif. The retailer will carry wines that satisfy your tastes.
Guard your liquid investment
Proper storage of fine wines is a must. Goldstein recommends placing
your wines in a cool, dark place where the air temperature is between
55 to 60 degrees. Wine thrives best in an area with little vibration,
balanced humidity and consistent temperatures. If you enjoy collecting
or buying cases, you may want to consider a wine storage appliance
unit such as those from Subzero and Viking to preserve your investment.
Buy what you like, like what
you buy
Experiment with red and white wines of different varieties from
different regions to discover the types of wines you like. Buy to
your taste, Goldstein encourages. Don't stock your wine cellar with
wines just because they're reputed to be collector bottles.

Fabian Nicieza, former writer of "Robin" and current writer of "Azrael", will be taking over writing chores from Chris Yost on "Red Robin". DC made the announcement via their Source Blog this morning.
Fabian Nicieza is no stranger to the character of Tim Drake. He finished off the "Robin" series and many fans were surprised to learn he wouldn't be continuing Tim's adventures with "Red Robin".
"I was reading Chris Yost's first year on the series with jealous admiration in that he was doing a great job, getting to work with an excellent young artist in Marcus To and getting to move Tim through the darkness into a better place as a way of natural story evolution", Nicieza told the Source blog.
"I don't know why they didn't just do this from the beginning. Fabian's portrayal of Tim Drake was well received! Yost just used non-linear storytelling and flashbacks. The series will be much better now", expressed a fan who wishes to remain anonymous.
No word yet on what this means for the future of the "Azrael" title.
Nicieza will pick up the series with issue 13, which is due out in June. The cover is posted at the top of the article.

BMA supporters pack the Council Chambers
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Supports of the BMA and West TSA Access packed the Council Chambers last night and then some to show support of a modest request of 4 miles of new trail.
From the Daily Camera
The Boulder Mountainbike Alliance countered the staff's draft plan with its own "modest proposal" for bike access, which would include a north-south connector from Skunk Creek to Eldorado Springs.
"I do hear what everyone here is saying about user conflict," Botsy Phillips, a BMA member, told the Board of Trustees. "The reality is we're talking about such a small portion of trail that it's something that must be considered."

Germanys decision to halt its use of nuclear power within a decade is all in the context of the Japanese nuclear accident that occurred in March 2011. While Merkel is insisting that renewable energy can make up for nuclear powers current composition, others are expressing fears that coal-fired electricity will fill much of the void.
The current passion to go nuke-free may ultimately subside. Consider that in March 2011, Germany received 25 percent of its electricity from 17 nuclear reactors. Following the Fukushima accident, the country shut down 8 of those plants.
Coal now supplies 41 percent of Germanys electric generation, says the World Coal Association. The country has consumed about 5 percent more coal since the Japanese nuclear crisis.

Walk Two Moons
by Sharon Creech
Walk Two Moons Chapter 35 Summary
The Plan
- Gram, Gramps, and Sal drive through the windy, steep Rocky Mountains. Sal is terrified that they are going to crash, so it comes as a relief, and no great surprise, when Gram asks Sal to keep the story coming.
- At school, everyone is still really upset that Mr. Birkway read their journals aloud. They all are eager to know who wrote about the murderer. Mr. Birkway apologizes to his students for reading their journals.
- At the library that day, Ben tries to kiss Sal several times, but she keeps skittering away. Near-miss kisses abound! Geez, kissing is tricky.
- After school, Sal and Phoebe bolt home and look up all of the Bickles in the phone book. They call each of the numbers they can find under that name. At first, it doesn't look like their plan to find Sergeant Bickle's number will work. But then, at the very last minute, they get through to Sergeant Bickle's house. The person on the other line tells them that Sergeant Bickle is at work, so they decide to call later on when he is home.
- That night, Sal calls Sergeant Bickle's number. She is very nervous but totally determined. She pretends to be a friend of Sergeant Bickle's son (the lunatic) and asks for his address, explaining that she needs to return a book to him.
- Sergeant Bickle gives her his son's address, not suspecting a thing.
- After this, Sal feels like pretty much the coolest person ever. Because she totally is.

New iPad Air 2 production of components increase as suppliers confirm the likelihood of an iPad launch in a few weeks, according to a Sep. 2 report in DigiTimes. The iPad Air 2 is expected to be thinner and lighter with a faster A8 processor, higher-end camera, Touch ID and possibly more RAM.
Besides iPad Air suppliers who provide full-lamination units, iPhone 6 display suppliers also are ramping up production as Apple prepares for the iPhone 6 to hit the market probably a week after the iPhone 6 unveils. Apple officially announced that the company will reveal the iPhone 6 on Sep. 9 at the Flint Center, near Apple's headquarters.
China Mobile is already taking pre-orders for the iPhone 6 and is not waiting for Apple's official presentation of the company's new flagship mobile device. China Mobile is the biggest carrier in the world by subscriber numbers (800 million).
China Mobile is not releasing photos of the new iPhone 6. However, China Mobile is revealing the iPhone 6 comes in a 4.7-inch size and a 5.5-inch size, confirming earlier leaks. The iPhone 5s has a 4-inch display. Both iPhone 6 models come in in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB storage sizes.
So far, after less than one day, there are 33,000 iPhone 6 pre-orders in Bejing along, according to China Daily. iPhone 6 pre-orders are limited to the city of Bejing only. Last year, China Mobile offered the same advanced pre-order option with iPhone 5s.
The iPhone 6 includes a faster A8 processor, the successor to the current motion coprocessor chip, iOS 8, upgraded Touch ID (a feature the iPad Air 2 should also be getting this fall), a better camera and more. Moreover, there are rumors that the larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 will also come in a 128GB model.

Some things to watch for as Twitter grows and expands and becomes even more popular among people on the planet:
Twitter eyes acquisitions, sees making money in 2010 A Reuters article: Co-Founder Biz Stone says Twitter will "start making money" in 2010 as it unveils a plan early next year on how it will produce revenue through advertising. He declined to give details but said advertising will be "non-traditional. And, even though there is plenty of money in the bank, Stone says he may go to the stock market for additional funding. Something to watch on both sides - ad revenues and possible Initial Public Offering opportunity.
Will Twitter Transform Homeless Services in 2010? A blog post predicting that Twitter has the power to change the way homeless services operate. Farfetched? You decide.
More attacks expected on Facebook, Twitter in 2010 from "McAfee 2010 Predictions" referenced in article: "Malware authors love following the social networking buzz and hot spots of activity; that will continue in 2010. As Google and other providers crack down on search engine poisoning, we expect that Twitter and similar services will increase in appeal for such purposes. Along with Twitter's success we have seen widespread adaptation of abbreviated URL services, such as bit.ly and tinyurl.com. These services now appear in all sorts of communications—making it easier than ever to mask the URLs that users are asked to click. This trick will play a more predominant role in 2010; it's the perfect avenue to direct users to websites that they would normally be wary about visiting."
Twitter App Numbers Growing Strong Going Into 2010 a sign that the development of apps is truly a big deal is that there will be a Twitter developer conference in 2010 called Chirp in San Francisco next year.

In brief | Big Island & State, 07-27-14
Genevieve continues to lose strength
Tropical depression Genevieve continued to weaken Saturday and was expect to become a remnant low pressure system by Sunday.
The system, located about 1,200 miles east-south of Hilo, was moving west at 8 miles per hour with maximum sustained winds of 35 miles per hour on Saturday evening. National Weather Service forecasters gave a small chance of the low regenerating in a few days as it encounters more favorable upper-level conditions in the Central Pacific.
Another weak low pressure area within an elongated surface trough was about 600 miles south of South Point.
Only a few, isolated and disorganized thunderstorms remained near this low, according to the NWS. Environmental conditions also appear to be becoming less conducive for development of this system as it continues to move westward at about 10 miles per hour this weekend.
DHS floats new Medicaid program
The Department of Human Services Med-QUEST Division is launching a more patient-centric Medicaid program to better serve clients. QUEST Integration effectively combines and replaces the QUEST and QUEST Expanded Access programs.
"The benefits of QUEST Integration include more health plan choices for aged, blind or disabled individuals, and a greater ability for a beneficiary to remain with the same health plan upon turning 65 or developing a disability," said Kenny Fink, MQD Administrator. "Additionally, eligible beneficiaries will gain expanded access to home and community based services to prevent decline to institutional level of care."
QUEST Integration also reduces administrative burden by creating a single managed care program, according to a press release from DHS.
The health plans participating in QUEST Integration are AlohaCare, Hawaii Medical Service Association (HMSA), Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (Oahu &Maui only), Ohana Health Plan and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan.
Transmission line upgrades on Highway 190 finished
The transmission line upgrades along Highway 190 from the Waikoloa Junction to Puuanahulu are completed, according to the Hawaii Electric Light Co.
The project involved upgrading transmission lines and equipment to improve system reliability. It was "completed ahead of schedule," HELCO stated.
For more information, call 969-6666.
