Markets Hub: Emmitt Smith Talks Super Bowl…Ads
Ford Motor has embarked on a big turnaround effort for its luxury Lincoln brand. As part of the marketing push, it's buying the first Super Bowl ad for the brand, and has brought former Dallas Cowboy and three-time Super Bowl champion Emmitt Smith on as a "brand ambassador."
Smith, who also happens to be the NFL's all-time leading rusher, stopped by the Markets Hub this morning to talk about the ad and his part in it.
It's an interesting gambit. The Lincoln brand, once upon a time an iconic Detroit nameplate (remember the classic Continentals from the '60s, with the suicide doors?), long ago lost that romance.
In the attempt to recapture that magic, and lure in younger buyers, Lincoln is not only buying air time during the Super Bowl, but it reached out into the Twitterati to almost literally write the ad.
Lincoln started a Twitter campaign, asking people for their most memorable road trip stories. They then selected five – actually, they had Jimmy Fallon select them – and they used those to "write" the ad's storyline.
So the ad runs next Sunday, but whether Lincoln can tap into these two crowds, the Twitterati and football fans, and revive the brand will be a storyline that plays out for some time.

This article discusses how on-line high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) can measure product purity in the column eluent stream in near–real time. These data can then enable the automation and control of a purification column operation, thus reducing product variability, shortening process cycle time, and increasing yield. An example application demonstrates how on-line HPLC is used as a process analytical technology to ensure the process can accommodate variability in the separation while ensuring the product meets its critical quality attributes.
Pharmaceutical products, particularly those derived from biotechnology based processes, frequently use process chromatography in downstream operations to isolate and purify the product of interest. The high selectivity provided by chromatography is especially important when dealing with the complex streams encountered in biotech processes in which the product of interest often is a minor process component at the initiation of downstream isolation and purification operations. Knowing when the product of interest at the targeted purity elutes from a process-scale purification column can be difficult to determine because these separations rarely provide baseline separation of the product of interest from other components in the process stream.
Fractionating the column eluent has several disadvantages, including:
Because of the many negative issues associated with column fractionation, companies strive to eliminate this operation. Options to eliminate fractionation include collecting product based on column eluent volume; collecting product based on column eluent volume and optical density; and measuring product purity by on-line HPLC.
Collecting product based on column eluent volume.
In this approach, the eluent volume where the product of sufficient purity is expected to elute is determined from historical data; the start-collection and stop-collection setpoints are set based on these empirical data. An in-line flow meter measures the eluent volume to control the collection of the product of interest as it elutes from the process chromatography column.
The difficulty with this approach is that it is totally dependent on the reproducibility of the column elution profile which is affected by many variables. These variables include column loading, the purity of the starting material, the affinity of various components in the process stream for the stationary phase, and the column's operating parameters such as the generation of the gradient used to elute the column. Because of variability in these inputs, it can be challenging to maintain reproducible purity levels of the recovered product when using this approach, even with feedback control of the column's critical operating parameters (including gradient generation). This variability generally leads to conservative collection setpoints that reduce product yield.
Collecting product based on column eluent volume and optical density.
In this approach, an in-line ultraviolet (UV) sensor set to monitor absorbance at 280 nm measures the amount of product present in the eluent stream by relating the absorbance at 280 nm (A280) to product concentration. Because this measurement is not product-specific (i.e., any peptide in the stream will generate an A280 absorbance signal) the output of the optical density (OD) sensor output is examined in combination with the in-line flow meter to improve resolution. That is, the product is only collected when the OD at 280 nm exceeds the OD setpoint and falls within the eluent volume setpoint window.

Steven Tyler has proposed a bill in the Hawaiian legislature to limit the actions of paparazzi.
If I didn't know better, I'd say Steven Tyler is saying he wants less attention.
The Aerosmith singer and former judge on "American Idol" has proposed Hawaii Senate Bill 465 — now dubbed the Steven Tyler Act — which would provide a legal remedy for celebrities photographed while engaged in "personal or familial activity" and have a reasonable expectation of privacy, according to People.com
"The paradise of Hawaii is a magnet for celebrities who just want a peaceful vacation," says Tyler. "As a person in the public eye, I know the paparazzi are there and we have to accept that. But when they intrude into our private space, disregard our safety and the safety of others, that crosses a serious line that shouldn't be ignored."
And if anyone knows about crossing lines, it's Steven Tyler.
The bill will be presented in a Senate hearing in Honolulu. It is currently being endorsed by two-thirds of the Senate.

A Brief Word About Choosing a Casket
First things first - you are under no obligation to purchase a casket from a funeral home. And why would you want to, when there are lower-cost, better value options available? Express Casket has helped thousands of people say goodbye to their loved ones respectfully, in style, and for a price that makes sense.
Choosing a casket for a loved one is a very personal decision. When deciding, keep the following in mind:
Think about your loved one and the family & friends left behind and you will be able to find the perfect casket to honor them... that is the only consideration that really matters.
Learning More About Funeral Homes
The funeral home industry is extremely large and very profitable. There are over 20,000 funeral homes in the United States and collectively the industry generates over $25 billion in annual revenue. Fees for services are extravagant and markups on products are substantial. So just how do funeral homes continue to charge high costs without delivering equivalent value?
Three corporations dominate the funeral home industry: SCI, Stewart, and Loewen Group, which together account for about 15% of the funeral business in the United States. Your compassionate neighborhood funeral home could owned by one of these corporate giants - they typically buy small funeral homes and operate them under the previous name, to retain the appearance of a small, family-owned business. This allows the funeral homes to set prices as they see fit, without fear of effective competition.
The federal government has stepped in to regulate the industry and some states and local jurisdictions provide additional guidelines to help alleviate the worst abuses, but consumers remain at a disadvantage when planning a funeral due to the unique emotional nature of the process. Funeral homes are notorious for using scare tactics, and we have compiled several of the most common ways that they prey upon the fragile emotions of consumers:
"Don't you want your mother looking her best when she sees your Dad in Heaven?" - Do not be pressured into spending lavishly on burial clothing - dress your loved one as you see fit, and however makes you most happy.
"Of course you want a sealed casket... don't you?" - All caskets for sale are designed to be sealed, do not be scared into purchasing a casket with expensive features you don't need.
"You don't need a casket list... let me show you our floor selection." - Funeral homes rarely put cheap caskets on their showroom floor. Insist on receiving a complete list of all their offerings before viewing models.
"This list is just a guideline - let's talk about our funeral packages." - Packages often contain a laundry of services & products that you either do not need or could purchase much cheaper elsewhere, including the casket. Having a General Price List allows you to track charges for each item and remove those you do not want.
These are just a few of the most common tactics. Be wary, use common sense, and know that your rights as a consumer are protected by law - you are in charge of the funeral, not the funeral home!
A Guide to Discount Caskets
A casket is a major purchase - the average cost is in the neighborhood of $2000, and some extravagant models top $10,000. Accordingly, you should approach purchasing a casket as you would any other expensive item: do some research, shop around, compare prices, and buy from the vendor that gives you the best price & value.
But there are several unique barriers that prevent most people from getting the deal they deserve on a casket purchase. Grief is one of many powerful emotions that buyers must cope with. Spending a lot of money may be used as a measure of love for the departed. There can also be pressure to act quickly. All of these, and more factors, combine to make it easy to overspend on a casket.
So how can you avoid overpaying for a casket? A casket wholesaler or discounter is your best chance at paying a fair price. Some important considerations every consumer should know about purchasing cheap caskets from a discounter:
Funeral Planning Checklist
Planning a funeral is a difficult and emotional task, and the burden of arranging details while coping with grief can be exhausting. We cannot relieve the emotional stress you must be feeling, but we can help you keep track of the many details that could otherwise prove overwhelming.
Here is a thorough checklist of tasks and things to remember when you are planning a funeral:
Some additional important considerations:
Pre-planning - If the death was anticipated, many or all of these details may have been pre-arranged. A sudden or unexpected death typically requires more planning.
Accommodating guests - Out-of-towners will appreciate recommendations for places to stay, particularly locations that are close to the service and reception. If you have time for additional planning and you anticipate a large number of visiting guests, you may want to contact a hotel regarding a discounted group rate.
Delegating planning - The details involved in planning a funeral can be overwhelming for just one person. If possible, delegate parts of the planning to a trusted friend or family member, particularly those details that are time or labor-intensive.
The most important thing is to stay composed and remember that planning a funeral should be invested with the same care and diligence that you would in any other circumstance that requires communication, organization, and attention to detail.

Feeling Good About Optimism at ASCO
Feeling Good About Optimism at ASCO
06.02.13 | By
Each year, optimism is the default mood at the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting. And not without good reason: each year, new data is presented that changes the way oncology is practiced, in small ways and in big ways.
But in a blog post this weekend, Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, the deputy chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, cautioned fellow attendees at the meeting not to get too excited, citing decades of optimism that never quite panned out. Sitting in a lecture about immunotherapy – perhaps the most promising area of research right now – Lichtenfeld worried that the excitement he was hearing was premature: "The speaker last night went on to extol the promise of immunotherapy. What he did not dwell on was the fact that the same promises were made 40 years ago. Along the way, the failures have been legendary."
Ensuring that hope doesn't outstrip reality is a noble goal, and Lichtenfeld should be applauded for reminding us that research is never "easy or convenient." But there are countless reasons to think that oncology will move more quickly and more dramatically than it did in the 1970s. Perhaps the most compelling reason is that biopharmaceutical companies, doctors, academia and federal research institutions have much more to work with than ever before.
At one end of the funnel, the amount of information about cancer in the scientific record is growing rapidly. In 2002, about 10,000 PubMed citations a year mentioned "oncology." Last year it had more than doubled, to 23,000. That's more than twice as many papers, twice as many new data points, twice as much new information about how to deal with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
And this explosion of research is showing up in the clinic. Last year, PhRMA counted 981 cancer therapies under development in the U.S. The list stretches well over 100 pages. And at the smaller end of the funnel, more and more of these treatments are making their way to market. Eleven new molecules that target cancer were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2012.
And that's just new molecules. One of the emerging themes of this year's ASCO is the importance, now and in the future, of combination therapy. Existing drugs will be used together in novel ways to stymie cancer, and much work will go into finding the exact groups that will bring the most value to the patient.
There's less and less reason to believe that the optimism permeating the ASCO meeting is misplaced. That doesn't mean that every new treatment will live up to its promise; indeed, much of the research here each year is dedicated to explaining how good ideas failed to deliver hoped-for benefits. But with five dozen new oncology papers published, on average, each and every day, there will be more and more opportunities to score victories against cancer.

The Elizabeth bag was the winner of the 'Best Changing Bag' in the Junior Design Awards 2011, and is still number 1 for Baby Changing Bags on Mumsnet, recognising excellence in design, style and quality.
The Elizabeth Tan received the following review from John Lewis online:
5 / 5
Stylish, high quality and practical
07 November 2012
Location: Cambridge
I have always loved handbags, and this is the perfect baby bag for me. As previous reviewers have said, it is a beautiful style, and not obviously a baby bag. I have had it for 10 months using it daily, and it has aged really well. The leather gets better with age! It is a good size, with lots of room for all the baby essentials.
The only drawback is that it is heavy when filled to the brim - not a problem if hanging off the buggy, but very tiring to carry when I've been using a sling. However this would be the same for all bags this style, so is not really a criticism. I've loved this bag and think it's worth every penny.
- Made from beautiful, lake washed pebble leather with a hard wearing finish
- Finished with brushed antique brass hardware
- Two external magnetic pockets and nine internal compartments including a large zipped pocket for valuables
- Insulated bottle holder
- Additional adjustable shoulder strap
- Vanity case
- Luxury padded changing mat
- Signature Storksak wipe clean lining throughout
As leather is a natural product colour may vary slightly Compatible with Storksak Stroller Clips (sold separately)
The Elizabeth was introduced in SS07 as our first leather bag, and sold incredibly well from the get-go. We worked with our tannery to develop a sleek, strong leather which would wear beautifully over time. The result was the tumbled, durable grain of leather which helped to make this bag so popular.
I think what makes it so special is that it epitomises the changing bag/handbag ethos of Storksak. Its design has never changed - it just seems to fit the bill for many mothers. When it won the Junior Design Award for "Best Changing Bag" in 2011, we couldn't have been more thrilled!

We are all guilty of procrastinating at some point or another in our lives regardless of how difficult the task at hand is. While it may seem like more fun to go to the beach or hang out with friends and work on that paper later, the short term relief of escaping the stress of a project backfires when you have to stay up to the wee hours of the morning to finish whatever assignment you put off in the first place. And as a college student I understand that there's always some sort of project or paper due in the immediate future on top of studying for midterms and finals. But don't worry there is hope of breaking the cycle!
After reading an article by CNN called "How to Stop Procrastinating Today!" by Amy Spencer I found three of the recommended tips they suggested the most realistic and helpful for the everyday assignments. The best three pieces of advice they gave was:
- Do the worst thing first
- Make the Job Smaller
- Don't Interrupt Yourself
If you can manage to do even one of these three things then you are already better off then when you started because the key to stopping procrastination is balance. If you can balance fun time and responsibilities then chances are you will be less stressed and a more productive person overall.

If you did, I am sure that you must have had great feelings every time the band played in parades or whatever it may have been.
Because of Mr. McGinnis's more than 50 years as a teacher of music at Biggs High School, Biggs Elementary and Richvale Elementary, these schools were recognized all over the county as superior band schools, winning so many awards and recognition.
It all came down to Royne McGinnis and his desire to have the best, and he expected his students to feel his desire.
Now, because of his total effort Royne McGinnis is going to be recognized by the Biggs Lions Club in a Roast on Saturday, March 2 in the Community Center (Veterans Hall). We are hoping that the community will turn out for this dinner and honor a man who gave so much to the school and the community.
There are two reasons to have this effort: Give Royne the honor he deserves for all the things he has done for Biggs, and to raise funds for Lions Club scholarships for graduating seniors at the end of this school year. Mark March 2 on your calendar and plan on attending the Royne McGinnis Roast. The time will be 6 p.m., and you can come at 5:30 to check all of the raffle prizes that will be available. Please plan on attending to honor Royne McGinnis.

10 Best Big Dog Breeds For FamiliesDanielle Sullivan
Deciding to bring a dog into your home is one decision that should not be taken lightly and never is it truer than when you have kids.
Bringing a pet into your life will require dedication and training for both you and your children. While some dogs are better suited for life with families, all dogs need to be trained and given limits, plus a whole lot of love. Any dog can become aggressive, big or small, so it is vital that young children are never left alone with them even for a second. It is also important that children are taught how to treat their pets.
One of the first things people should consider when looking for a pet pooch is if they want a big or a small pup. Large dogs are not for everyone. They naturally require more exercise on the whole, not to mention ample space and food. But rest assured because many of these gentle giants make fabulous additions to family life.
If you are fond of big dogs and are looking to bring into your family, check out these 10 large dog breeds that make great pets for families:
Bernese Mountain Dog 1 of 10Bernese Mountain Dog are good natured, self-assured, placid towards strangers, and docile. They can do very well in homes but require a large outdoor space since they are outdoor dogs at heart. For such a large size dog, they are very fast. They are affectionate, loyal, faithful, stable, intelligent, and sometimes shy. The majority of Bernese are friendly to people, and other dogs. Eager to please, they also get along well with other household pets.

Collie 2 of 10Who wouldn't want a Lassie look-a-like in their family? Collies are highly trainable, gentle, intelligent, and well suited as pets. In fact, their tenderness and loyalty also make them highly compatible with children. While not huge dogs, they are usually between 60-75 pounds and require a daily walk and moderate exercise.

Mastiff 3 of 10There are many types of mastiffs: American, English, Alpine, Cane Corso, and many others. Mastiffs in general, tend to be calm and quiet dogs and are wonderful with children. Loyal and loving, they are not typically aggressive unless they are protecting their families.

German Shepherd 4 of 10German Shepherds are very active dogs, excellent guard dogs and also suitable for search missions. Shepherds have a very loyal nature and bond well with people they know, particularly the head of the household, and tend to become very protective of their human family. Highly intelligent and obedient, with adequate training, they make amazing family pets.

Newfoundland 5 of 10The Newfoundland dog is known its calm nature and strength. Incredibly loyal, they are also known as "the gentle giant" and have a sweet temper. Although exceptionally good with children, small children might get accidentally leaned on and knocked down simply due to their size. They also need a very large amount of space and a committed grooming regimen.

Golden Retriever 6 of 10Golden Retrievers are kind friendly and confident. They make wonderful family pets and get along great with children. Unlike German Shepherds who don't like strangers and safeguard their families, Golden Retrievers like everyone. This makes them not very good guard dogs but they are intelligent, learn tricks easily and are very social, loving creatures. For these reasons, they are especially good for families with very young children.
Image: WikiCommons
Australian Shepherd 7 of 10Australian Shepherds aren't the biggest dogs averaging about 50-65 pounds but if you're seeking a largish dog that is not extremely big, they might be a wise choice. Calm and easy going, they are kind, loving, and devoted to those they know. They are very loyal to their owners. Protective of their property, they are inclined to bark at unfamiliar noises outside their homes.
Image: WikiCommons
Great Dane 8 of 10The term 'gentle giant' was quite possibly created specifically for Great Danes. They are not only friendly to other dogs, but also cats and other pets as well as people. Their good-natured disposition might seem polar opposite to their looming size, but Great Danes are immensely loving animals wither proper training.

Labrador Retriever 9 of 10Labs are easy going, lovable dogs with high intelligence and a keen sense of smell. They are high energy and require a lot of exercise but adapt to family life the best because they usually want nothing more than just to be part of the family's daily activities, except maybe food!

Rottweiler 10 of 10Used in police work and as guard dogs, Rottweilers are very devoted, obedient, and eager to work. They have an inherent desire to protect home and family. While the thought of a Rottweiler as a family might alarm some people, these dogs are a product of their environment (just as every dog is), and aggressive dogs are typically the result of poor training and socialization, and sadly, abuse. I grew up with a Rottweiler/Doberman mix that we got when I was just 8. Schatzie was the most gentle and loyal pet, and a large part of my fond childhood memories.

Joining the Conversation Part II: A Roundup of Reader Comments
@WSJSTARTUP: In a recent discussion on The Accelerators blog, the startup mentors discussed what they believe will be the dominant startup trends of 2013. Here's another sampling of what readers had to say:
"You made an interesting point in highlighting the difference between crowd-funding of projects, and crowd-investing in companies. I wonder how far we could take these ideas? I wonder if we could separate innovation from operations: Crowd-funded innovation, carried out by independent, distributed teams of freelancers, leaving the resulting intellectual property in the public domain; Operations and manufacturing carried out by small, hyper-competitive, cost-minimizing enterprises, in the Adam Smith tradition. Wouldn't it be cool if this was the way the economy was headed?" William Payne on David Tisch's post, The Internet Will be 'Fun Again'
"David, I disagree with you. Equity-based crowdfunding will allow entrepreneurs easier access to capital. It will allow people that aren't millionaires to do something smart with their money besides playing the lottery or speculating the stock market. Yes, it would be helpful to have investors that understand the industry that you're in, and can open doors for you. But they will only do that for a select few people. Crowdfunding implements democracy in a system that resembles an oligarchy at best. I would rather answer to the common people than try to make the rich richer." Nolan Clemmons on David Tisch's post, The Internet Will be 'Fun Again'
"The author sounds very in tune with the ideas and trends in Silicon Valley. Now, whether these will hold for the world outside of SV, only time will tell. I believe they will, although it might take a little longer than predicted. Nathan Alden, Sr…do you think the technology that so many ppl have embraced over the past decade will simply disappear? The answer is no. Your sentiments about the re-emergence of 'real social' might have a grain of truth to it, but it will just re-emerge alongside technology, and the two will be more seamlessly integrated. This is not meant to offend, but your ideas (and suffix;-) make you sound old. While we should honor our elders, we should not let them make decisions for the rest of us about technology." D. Dazzle on James Beshara's post, Top 5 Tech Startup Trends of 2013
"I disagree with nearly this entire article. My prediction for 2013 and beyond is that people will re-discover real life (the REAL social) and begin trimming useless and unnecessary stuff from their lives. We are all having to work harder for the same or less money; no one has time to fumble with countless apps on their smart phones to accomplish simple tasks. Why do I need to find my smart phone, unlock it, navigate to an app, open the app, then fiddle with controls for adjusting my in-home thermostat? No, I will walk over to the thermostat and adjust it in a fraction of the time.
I wonder if the author of this article knows that Cherry just shut down it's car wash service. Guess what, folks: very few of these ideas have legitimate, profitable business models behind them. They are driven by investment capital being thrown around like candy by firms that don't have anywhere else to put that capital. This gravy train will come to an end sooner than many think." Nathan Alden, Sr. on James Beshara's post, Top 5 Tech Startup Trends of 2013
"Fascinating discussion. I believe another trend will be a clearer delineation of two groups of tech consumers – passive and active. The passive consumer loves "new" and will be in line for the new hardware, grab the update online the moment it's available, and be on elf the first to be on a new social platform, looking around, wondering where everyone else is. Tech drives life. The active consumer will apply technology in an attempt to better life. Apps are solutions and evaluated as such. Social does not migrate to the digital world, but is assisted by it when that assistance is needed. And the active consumer will perhaps be leading the conversation about where technology becomes intrusive. Example: When traveling, I turn the heat down. The Nest thermostat allows me to turn it back up when I land and arrive home to a warm house. That's a solution that tech makes available to me, one that addresses my world. Interesting to see how some marketing language is abandoning the active consumer and focusing entirely on the passive. That typically is the soil in which viral success is grown." T Gordon on James Beshara's post, Top 5 Tech Startup Trends of 2013
"Tablets have many virtues, primarily portability. But a tiny tablet screen in no way replaces a desktop machine with a 24″ flat-screen. There's a reason large flat screens are extremely popular (as are large scree TVs). And if you are doing serious work, a small screen tends to hem you in whereas a large screen opens you up. There IS a huge difference. And I won't even get into what it would be like trying to use a tiny tablet to program an application – say for tablets. Tablets are great devices, but they also have serious limitations." Pedro on Rurik Bradbury's post, Tablets Will Dominate Enterprise IT

Ash, Texas rally to stun No. 15 Oregon State
Published: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 10:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 10:49 p.m.
SAN ANTONIO — David Ash threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes, the last a 36-yard strike to Marquise Goodwin with 2:24 left, to give Texas a 31-27 comeback victory over No. 15 Oregon State in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday night.
The Longhorns (9-4) never led before Goodwin scored his second touchdown on a deep post pattern, just a play after Texas converted a fourth-and-1 play to keep its chances alive.
Storm Woods ran for 118 yards and scored two touchdowns for Oregon State (9-4). The Beavers left stunned after looking as though they would wrap up their first 10-win season since 2006.
The victory was a dose of much-needed good news for Texas after coming into the game under a cloud of questions following the suspensions of two players on Friday. Backup quarterback Chase McCoy and injured linebacker Jordan Hicks weren't on the sideline, a day after Texas sent home the two players for violating team rules.

Men strike a pose in yoga classes just for them
They were there, bravely and voluntarily, to spend two hours doing yoga.
Never mind that the ancient Indian practice linking breath, body, and spirit was developed and taught by men. In America, yoga is a woman's domain.
A 2012 study by the Yoga Journal found that 82 percent of yoga practitioners were women.
Walk into most classes and if any men can be found, they are in the back corners, where they can fumble through poses without attracting much notice.
Anatomically, women are no better equipped than men to do yoga, said Larry H. Chou, a physiatrist at Premier Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine in Havertown, Pa.
"The resistance has been psychosocial. There was this perception that yoga was less manly," said Chou, who has consulted with professional sports teams and was a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania's Sports Medicine Center.
Furthermore, because men in America tend not to stretch as much as women do, they are not as flexible, Chou said. "People like to do what they are good at," he said. "And they're not so fond of doing what they're not good at."
Though the gender imbalance in yoga classes has social advantages for some men after class, many find it demoralizing to be surrounded by women who, in general, can twist themselves into poses with much greater ease.
"It's a challenge," said Alain Benitez, who recalls his first yoga class as a humbling experience. "Out of a group of 30 or 40, I was the only man, except for the teacher's boyfriend. I learned a lot about how much ego we carry. It was kind of humbling."
In the five years since, Benitez has devoted himself to the practice. After studying with several teachers, Benitez began leading his own classes. Last year, he joined the small but growing number of yoga teachers offering classes geared exclusively to men.
"We have specific limitations," said Benitez, 32, whose day job is conducting allergy research at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "Our broader shoulders do not help with balance. Our minds race a little bit faster. We have a hard time getting into a meditative state."
In the safety of a yogic fraternity, Benitez said, his students feel more relaxed.
He helps them get there by speaking their language. When they lie prone for cobra pose, he tells them, "if anything needs adjusting, now is the time. We don't want pinching." And he notes there is something reassuring when more than half the men in the room cannot reach past their knees, let alone palm the ground.
"I see a lot of broken-down men, who are shrugged over and have no balance," said Robert Sidoti, 42, cofounder of Broga on Martha's Vineyard. Sidoti, an omni-athlete and former actor, started his male brand of yoga there with a friend in 2009.
The plan seems to be working. Broga now has licensed teachers across the country, with two dozen more in the works.
The classes, he said, are minimalist: "Let's just focus on the breath and postures and get you through them in a healthy, safe way." Besides the basic poses, Sidoti said, he throws in some power moves. "Men can relate to a push-up, so for the guy who wants to get a little bit of a workout, we get the heart rate up."
For this, he said, Broga has been criticized by purists. "But the way yoga has been presented on the surface didn't speak to the buddies I was hanging out with," he said. The soft images on yoga websites, the lotus flowers and new-agey wording, put them off. "I wanted to repackage yoga," Sidoti said.
Jake Panasevich, who started teaching Yoga for Dudes in August at Maha Yoga Studio in Philadelphia, has developed enough of a following that he plans a recurring series of workshops.
Panasevich, 28, a former college wrestler, was 5-foot-11 and weighed 225 pounds at his beefiest. "I was like a giant ball of muscle," he said.
A year after Panasevich graduated from the University of Pittsburgh and moved to Philadelphia, his girlfriend dragged him to a power yoga class.
Sweating profusely and struggling to get into the poses, he said, he was shocked by the intensity of the workout. "I tried to muscle my way through it. I couldn't touch my knees."
Five years later, he said, he is getting into poses his teachers told him he would probably never achieve.
"Oddly enough, I find yoga a lot like wrestling," he said. "If your mind is not in it, you're going to get hurt or lose. . There is something sweet about being focused in that way. It's very meditative and challenging," he said. "And it's not always bliss."
For muscular men trying yoga for the first time, patience is especially important, said Christopher C. Dodson, an orthopaedic surgeon at Rothman Institute and Thomas Jefferson University.
"Large muscle mass is great for many things, like moving couches and playing football. But with those larger muscles, you do lose flexibility," he said. "The way to prevent injury is to gradually build up. It's similar to if you've never run before, don't try to do a marathon."
Before starting his recent Saturday workshop at Anjali Power Yoga in Westmont, Benitez tried to put his students at ease. Built like a ballet dancer, his speech faintly spiced with a Cuban accent, he told them that when he started yoga, he was hopelessly inept.
"There is a difference between setting intentions versus expectations," he said. "If you set an intention to get into a pose, I want you to get there, but if you don't, so what?"
At the back of the room, David Share, 56, a nephrologist from Burlington County, hung on every word. Long and narrow with a slight stoop to his shoulders, Share had never taken a yoga class before. He had come, he said, at the urging of his wife, a "yoga addict" who had convinced him it would be good for him.
The more experienced Brad Oister, a 36-year-old flight attendant for American Airlines, had braved the front row. Wearing black Nike spandex shorts and a muscle T-shirt that exposed the bold black graphic tattoos sweeping across his formidable biceps, he settled on his mat with self-assurance.
"The hardest thing is to stop looking around at what everyone else is doing," Oister said earlier. In coed yoga classes, he found that his competitive instinct kicked in. "There's a tendency to push yourself in a bad way."
Other students included a hip, 23-year-old beer brewer, bearded and mustached, his head in a purple bandanna, and a snowy-headed 61-year-old commercial real estate broker.
"Do you think warriors go to war without weapons?" Benitez asked, picking up a strap and a yoga block. "These are your weapons."
He warned about the risk of muscling through, saying, "if you can't breathe, you've gone too far."
And finally, he said, listen to your body. If at any time you feel pain, "Drop the ego and step back," he said. "Trust me."

National Dementia Strategies
Launch of the Action Plan for Dementia
In 2010, the four-year Action Plan for Dementia was launched and EUR 4 million was allocated to implement the plan. This figure is significantly lower than the amounts allocated for other disease action plans in Denmark. According to the Danish Alzheimer Society, the plan will not be sufficient to meet the challenge of a growing number of people with dementia in the next 10-30 years.
Anne Arndal, Chairperson of the Danish Alzheimer Association, comments on the Danish National Dementia Plan
The Danish National plan for dementia is now a reality. Representatives from the ministries involved and the regional and local authorities have, after consultation with various interested parties, developed a national dementia plan. It is mostly a recapitulation of what has been achieved in the dementia field over the last 10 years, in the medical field as well as in psycho-social care.
The plan "National Handlingsplan for demensindsatsen" makes 14 recommendations, the first three of which are centred around the question of timely diagnosis of dementia in all parts of the country as well as the quality of the diagnosis. The Danish Alzheimer Association has been pointing to problems securing the right diagnosis for some time.
There are recommendations for all the regions in Denmark (responsible for the hospital sector) to follow guidelines (to be made by the Danish Health Board) for a cross-sectional diagnostic procedure. Measures to improve communication between hospital, general practice and local authorities are also recommended. The aim is to avoid a loss of important information when a person with dementia moves from care in one sector to another. However, neither the regions nor the local authorities have been allocated more money to fund this. It has to be taken from the day to day budget.
On the other hand, we are pleased that a new (although temporary) allowance of DKK 8.8 mil lion (around EUR 1.2 million) has been secured to fund the National Centre for Knowledge on Dementia over the next three years. The centre plays an important role in the implementation of good quality diagnosis and of care, as well as being a driving force in research and education.
Eight recommendations focus on the care for people with dementia and their informal caregivers. Much of the new knowledge on how to implement activities to make everyday life better for people with dementia is obtained through temporary projects paid for by the government. This is problematic as the activity is started with "project" money and it can only continue on a permanent basis if the local authorities have money to continue the activity. Therefore, these activities will often have to stop with the result that what was learned from them is lost.
The National plan recommends establishing a way of sharing experience of "good practice in dementia care", which we naturally welcome. However, how this is to be implemented is not quite clear. We also welcome the focus on new assistive technology in the coming years.
It is suggested that work should be done to inform people with dementia that they can carry out advanced care planning, providing guidelines for future caregivers. This is not very often done in Denmark at the moment.
Ongoing endeavours to minimise the use of restraint in the care of people with dementia should continue. The Danish Alzheimer Association had for some time been discussing the question of restraint in connection with treatment of a medical or surgical illness. Adhering to the present very strict rules can lead to situations of neglect. We are thus very happy that the group behind the report recommends looking into the possibility to create more "workable" rules.
Only one of the fourteen recommendations addresses the education of nurses, and of staff in general involved in caring for people with dementia. It is suggested to intensify in-service training for qualified staff. This is a responsibility for regional and local authorities. But, again, no extra money is coming forth from the government, as far as we can see.
The report does not address the problem of a growing number of people with dementia and a falling number of younger people to look after them. However, it does suggest to make better and a more systematic use of patient organisations and volunteers to create better daycare and relief facilities for people with dementia and there carers.
The last recommendation is to conduct a countrywide awareness campaign, as was last held in 2007 and 2008.
In conclusion, the National plan focuses more or less on the same problems as in other European Dementia plans: timely diagnosis, self-determination for the person with dementia, unbroken "care chain", better possibilities for the relief of informal carers, balanced view on assistive technology, destigmatisation.
The plan is, unfortunately, not very well funded. About EUR 750,000 is allocated to be used each year over the next four years. This is on top of the money for the National Centre for Knowledge on Dementia.

STOCKTON - A robber shot a 56-year-old in his knee during a gold chain theft Saturday in south Stockton. The Stockton Police Department said the victim sustained a nonlife-threatening wound in the attack that took place about 1:30 p.m. near Baja Court and Granada Street.
The victim was washing a dog kennel in his driveway. Police say the suspect is a 5-foot 8-inch tall Latino with a thin build. He possibly fled in a gray Acura TL made in the late 1990s or early 2000s, police said.
A man who lives across the street from the victim said the attack symbolizes how dangerous the city has gotten.
"Something needs to be done," Al Rash said. "I feel like I need to have a weapon on me whenever I leave the house. I'm looking at getting a permit to carry a concealed weapon."
Rash said the victim has been his neighbor for roughly three years.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, April 26, 2012
RICHMOND COUNTY, Ga. -- A middle school student ended up in the emergency room after two students attacked her on school property earlier this month.
Linda Brown says her daughter started intentionally missing her school bus to avoid school bullies last month.
"I took her to school and said, 'You tell the principal that some girls want to jump you,'" she said.
Ottavia Brown is a seventh grader at Morgan Road Middle School. She says a group of girls began picking on her last year. Her mother told her to talk to the principal about her concern on April 10. The teen says the principal did not have time to talk to her and referred her to a coach. She says the coach told her she could not fight or she would be suspended. Three days after she went to the principal, she was attacked.
On April 13, Ottavia says she was walking home when some girls began following her. Cellphone video shows them coming up behind her and hitting her. Two middle school girls throw punches, push her to the ground, drag her by her hair and kick her in her head.
The teen ended up in the emergency room with a concussion.
"It's just a hurting feeling to see two children beating on her like she is some kind of dog or something," said Linda Brown after watching the video.
Brown spends everyday at dialysis clinics, but she still tries to protect her daughter. She relies on school officials to do the same when Ottavia is at school.
"She failed to protect my child," Brown said.
Mrs. Brown is furious, not just at the bullies attacking her daughter, but also with the school principal.
"I feel she failed to protect my child. My child went and told her. A teacher took her to her and she didn't have time for her and brushed her off," she said.
School officials say the middle school principal did follow protocol by sending Ottavia to a coach who is trained as an intervention specialist. School officials say she went to principal about concerns with other girls -- not the ones in the video.
Ottavia says the girls she tried to talk to the principal about are friends with the ones that attacked her.
"As a parent and as a law enforcement officer, it's something we don't want to see and that's why we dealt with it quickly and appropriately," said Chief Pay Clayton with Richmond County Schools Public Safety.
He says the two teens in the video are now charged with assault and face ten days suspension.
Ottavia still worries but not just about herself.
"I'm not the only one they pick on," she said.
12 On Your Side tried for two days to contact Richmond County school board members to find out how they are handling this situation.
Barbara Pulliam who represents the Morgan Road Middle School district told us she did not have time to talk about the incident because she was planning a fish fry. She did not return our calls the following day.
We also spoke with board member Venus Cain who was contacted by Ottavia's mom last week and represents the at-large district.
She told News 12 she didn't have all the facts to comment about the attack.

Man gets life sentence in death of ex-NFL player
ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) — An eastern Missouri man was sentenced to life in prison for the fatal shooting of a man who was on the St. Louis Rams offseason roster.
Twenty-two-year-old Jevone L. Little of St. John was sentenced Monday for second-degree murder in the Christmas Eve 2010 death of 26-year-old Brandon Joyce in St. Charles.
Little was one of four men charged in the case. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/XNECyJ ) prosecutors say Little shot Joyce.
A man who drove the getaway car, 23-year-old Deveon Cartez Shockley of St. Louis, was sentenced Monday to 20 years in prison. The two other defendants were already sentenced.
Joyce, of St. Charles, and was the son of former St. Louis Cardinals punter Terry Joyce. He was on the Rams offseason roster in 2010.

Dressing in layers, protecting your hands and feet, and paying attention to the forecast can help you stay safe and warm while exercising outdoors in cold weather.
Cold weather can discourage even the most motivated exercisers. And if you're not as motivated, it's all too easy to pack away your workout gear along with your warm-weather clothing. But you don't have to let cold weather spell the end of your exercise. With these tips for exercising during cold weather, you can stay fit, motivated and warm when the weather turns chilly.
Almost everyone can exercise safely during cold weather. But if you have certain conditions, such as asthma, heart problems or Raynaud's disease, check with your doctor before you work out in cold weather. Your doctor can review any special precautions you need based on your condition or medications you might take.
The following tips can help you stay safe — and warm — while exercising in the cold.
Before heading out, check the forecast for the time you'll be outside. Temperature, wind and moisture, along with the length of time that you'll be outside, are key considerations in planning a safe cold-weather workout.
The combination of wind and cold make up the wind chill index, which is commonly included in winter weather forecasts. Wind chill extremes can make exercising outdoors unsafe even if you dress warmly. The wind can penetrate your clothes and remove the insulating layer of warm air that surrounds your body, and any exposed skin is vulnerable to frostbite.
Although the risk of frostbite is less than 5 percent when the air temperature is above 5 F (minus 15 C), the risk increases as the wind chill falls. At wind chill levels below minus 18 F (minus 27 C), frostbite can occur on exposed skin in 30 minutes or less.
If the temperature dips below 0 F (minus 17.8 C) or the wind chill is extreme, consider taking a break or choosing an indoor exercise instead. Similarly, consider putting off your workout if it's raining or snowing unless you have waterproof gear. Getting wet makes you more vulnerable to the cold. And if you get soaked, you may not be able to keep your core body temperature high enough.
Frostbite is an injury to the body that is caused by freezing. Frostbite is most common on exposed skin, such as your cheeks, nose and ears, but it can also occur on hands and feet. Early warning signs include numbness, loss of feeling or a stinging sensation.
If you suspect frostbite, get out of the cold immediately and slowly warm the affected area — but don't rub it since that can damage your skin. If numbness continues, seek emergency care.
Hypothermia is abnormally low body temperature. When exposed to cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced. Exercising in cold, rainy weather increases the risk of hypothermia, as does being an older adult.
Hypothermia signs and symptoms include intense shivering, slurred speech, loss of coordination and fatigue. Seek emergency help right away for possible hypothermia.
One of the biggest mistakes you can make when exercising in cold weather is to dress too warmly. Exercise generates a considerable amount of heat — enough to make you feel like it's much warmer than it really is. The evaporation of sweat, however, can make you lose heat from your body and feel chilled. The solution?
Dress in layers that you can remove as soon as you start to sweat and then put back on as needed. First, put on a thin layer of synthetic material, such as polypropylene, which draws sweat away from your body. Avoid cotton, which stays wet next to your skin.
Next, add a layer of fleece or wool for insulation. Top this with a waterproof, breathable outer layer.
You may need to experiment before you find a combination of clothing that works well for you based on your exercise intensity. If you're lean, you may need more insulation than someone who is heavier.
Keep in mind, too, that stop-and-go activities, such as mixing walking with running, can make you more vulnerable to the cold if you repeatedly work up a sweat and then get chilly.
When it's cold, blood flow is concentrated on your body's core, leaving your head, hands and feet vulnerable to frostbite. Try wearing a thin pair of glove liners made of a wicking material (like polypropylene) under a pair of heavier gloves or mittens lined with wool or fleece. Put on the mittens or gloves before your hands become cold and then remove the outer pair if your hands begin to sweat.
Considering buying exercise shoes a half-size or one size larger than usual to allow for thick thermal socks or an extra pair of regular socks. And don't forget a hat to protect your head or headband to protect your ears. If it's very cold, consider wearing a scarf or ski mask to cover your face.
If it's dark when you exercise outside, wear reflective clothing. To stay steady on your feet, choose footwear with enough traction to prevent falls, especially if it's icy or snowy. Wear a helmet while skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling. Consider using chemical heat packs to warm up your hands or feet, especially if you have a tendency to have cold fingers and toes or if you have a condition such as Raynaud's disease.
It's as easy to get sunburned in winter as in summer — even more so if you're exercising in the snow or at high altitudes. Wear a sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays and a lip balm that contains sunscreen as well. And protect your eyes from snow and ice glare with dark glasses or goggles.
You need to stay well hydrated when exercising in cold weather just as you do when exercising in warm weather. Drink water or sports drinks before, during and after your workout, even if you're not really thirsty. You can become just as dehydrated in the cold as in the heat from sweating, breathing, the drying power of the winter wind, and increased urine production, but it may be harder to notice during cold weather.
These tips can help you safely — and enjoyably — exercise when the weather turns chilly. But as you exercise during cold weather, continually monitor how your body feels to help prevent cold-weather injuries, such as frostbite. Consider shortening your outdoor workout or skipping it altogether during weather extremes, and know when to head home and warm up. Also, be sure to let someone know your exercise route and your expected return time, in case something does go wrong.

AT&T to New York and San Francisco: We're Working on It
The head of AT&T's wireless unit said Wednesday that the carrier is working to improve its network for iPhone and other smart-phone subscribers in New York and San Francisco.
Manhattan and San Francisco, particularly the city's financial district, "are performing at levels below our standards," Ralph de la Vega, chief executive of AT&T Mobility, said at an investors conference.
Those two cities see especially high smart-phone penetration, which has put pressure on AT&T's data network. The company expects to see gradual improvements in New York and plans to replace some microcells in San Francisco, he said.
"This is going to get fixed," Mr. de la Vega said. "In both of those markets, I am very confident that you're going to see significant progress."
With about 3% of smart-phone customers driving 40% of data traffic, AT&T is considering incentives to keep those subscribers from hampering the experience for everyone else, he said. "You can rest assured that we're very sure we can address it in a way that's consistent with net-neutrality and FCC regulations."
Many customers don't know how much bandwidth they're consuming, Mr. de la Vega added. When AT&T conducted a broadband test, customers often reduced their data use. Longer-term, he said, a pricing scheme based on usage is likely, though it will be determined by industry competition and regulatory guidelines.
Mr. de la Vega made several company announcements, including a network upgrade in three cities and that AT&T expects to sign its two millionth U-verse subscriber today. He also said AT&T will provide connectivity for the Interead Cooler, an e-reader that will compete with Amazon's Kindle and Sony's Reader.
UPDATE: An AT&T spokesman added: "Ralph de la Vega made significant news today in saying that, based on independent drive testing, we have 98.68 percent nationwide voice retainability, which means that the difference between AT&T and the industry leader is less than 2/10 of a percentage point on this important metric. That translates to a difference of less than 2 calls out of a thousand."

Jock Safari Lodge General Manager
Every year I sponsor a few competitions amongst the Rangers at Jock. The big one is who can find the wild dog den site?
The Jock wild dogs use the granite rocky outcrops on the concession to den for three months every year. Three months after being conceived the alpha female (and sometimes a second female) lie down in the den and give birth to up to 16 pups.
The puppies begin to be weaned at 2 weeks and after 10 weeks are completely independent of their mothers milk. The puppies are left in the den where they are watched by fellow wild dogs that act as pup minders, whilst the rest of the pack goes hunting. The other dogs will return to the den and regurgitate food from their kill for the pups and the minders. After three months the pups are strong enough to leave the den and join the pack in their nomadic lifestyle.
It is very exciting to have wild dogs and their new pups on the concession as they are an endangered species. Its a tough life for the wild dog: their pups fall prey to other predators; the wild dogs family structure is vulnerable to deadly diseases such as rabies; their habitat is being diminished and they were long thought to be cruel hunters and pests and were actively hunted, all of which adds to the low species numbers.
This year our Master Tracker Ranger Patrick Sithole found the site again. Well done to Patrick for finding them after days of tracking!
The guides are pleased to report successful daily sightings of the wild dogs and with a bit of luck they will show the pups to us in a few weeks time. Hopefully this is the start to a new enlarged wild dog pack that will roam in and around the Jock concession.

Please check the status of this specification in Launchpad before editing it. If it is Approved, contact the Assignee or another knowledgeable person before making changes.
Launchpad entry: https://launchpad.net/products/upstart/+spec/jobs-as-states
Jobs must currently define either a binary to execute or a shell script to run. This specification proposes removing that restriction so that jobs may be used to indicate states in the system.
There are many cases where being able to define complex states to be re-used by other jobs is useful, by far the most elegant method of doing this is to use the existing job syntax. This not only lets us use a process-less job as a state, but even allows us to define script to be run when entering and leaving that state.
Use cases
- The multi-user state can be defined as a job, started and stopped by a complex series of events. Other jobs can use the multi-user job events.
This specification is largely informational, and limited to adding the concept of a state to the existing concepts of task and service.
A job without either an exec or script stanza will be considered to define a state. It will remain in the running state until it's stopped, and will otherwise behave exactly like a job.
Semantically we will use the goal of the job to define whether the state is true or not. This allows for other jobs to use syntax such as:
start on started networking stop on stopped networking
The primary change is to init/cfgfile.c, removing the restriction that exec or script must be specified for a job.
The assertion that this is true must be removed from job_change_state in init/job.c, no other modification is required as this will leave the job in the JOB_RUNNING state if neither is specified.
Data preservation and migration
These changes are backwards compatible with the previous behaviour.

Trace Adkins fought a Trace Adkins impersonator.
We'll leave it to the amateur psychologists out there to figure out this one.
The country singer Trace Adkins tangled with a guy who was impersonating him on a cruise ship. The altercation occurred reportedly after Adkins fell off the wagon after a dozen years of sobriety.
According to TMZ, Adkins was headlining a country cruise headed to Jamaica. He was in the bar when something happened between him and the impersonator, who was doing Karaoke. The pair ended up getting into a brawl.
The website said once the boat docked in Jamaica, Adkins headed off to rehab.
Adkins and the unnamed tribute singer met once before in 2007 and didn't beat the stuffing out of each other then.
The singer's rep told E! News that Adkins "has entered a treatment facility after a setback in his battle with alcoholism." The statement added, "As he faces these issues head-on, we ask that his family's privacy will be respected."
Right. Note to self: No camping in Trace Adkins front yard.
The former "Celebrity Apprentice" has reportedly dealt with alcohol issues for more than two decades and sought inpatient treatment in December 2001.
Country Cruising was a seven-day trip scheduled to make stops in Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Cozumel, Mexico; and Grand Cayman. Adkins joined a star-studded roster that was supposed to perform in the ship's main theater throughout the journey.
He told the Hollywood Reporter in 2011 his manager saved his life. "If you've ever been through one of those things, it's the most humiliating experience you'll ever have," he said. "To hear people you respect and love sit there and tell you the kind of pain you've been causing them ... and yeah, I'm an alcoholic."

Our support towards poverty analysis in Namibia
The Economic Policy and Poverty Unit of UNDP Namibia in partnership with the Stellenbosch University's research on Social Policy Centre and the Southern Africa Social Policy Insight all based in South Africa through South-South Cooperation successfully empowered 14 Development Advisors from National Planning Commission and Data Analyst from Namibia Statistics Agencies on how to undertake studies on constructing and analysing poverty mapping and deprivation indexes using STATA Software. Despite the classification of Namibia as an upper Middle Income Country, there is still wide level of inequality in the country.
Poverty incidence varies greatly between the regions and between rural and urban areas of Namibia. Although no analyses has been undertaken to ascertain within regional differences, it was plausible to assume that there existed wide variations in the incidence poverty within the regions. Thus, the main objective of the support was to empower the development planners and data analyst to be able to undertake studies aimed at estimating poverty levels within regions, specifically at constituency levels using the 2011 Census data and the 2009/10 Namibia Households Income and Expenditure Data (NHIES). The studies further explored at developing trend analysis by using the 2001 Census and the 2003/04 NHIES data.
The officials now have skills on how to present the data analysed on maps using StatPlanet, and also be able to investigate aspects of non-money metric poverty as a prelude to the money-metric work that lies ahead in the country. The officials now posses capacities to advise policy makers both at national and regional government level on how to institutionalise resources allocation been informed by baseline tools on poverty within different areas. This support is in line with existing 2014-2018 United Nation Partnership Agreement between United Nation the Government of Republic of Namibia through the reduction of human poverty pillar.
Our Publications
Datazone level Namibian Index of Multiple Deprivation
In November 2009, the Khomas Regional Council requested UNDP to assist in designing an objective criterion or set of criteria, devoid of political and other considerations, which the Council could use in allocating development resources. Subsequent discussions led to an agreement that other stakeholders, especially the Central Bureau of Statistics needed to be involved and that the criterion or set of criteria needed to go beyond income poverty considerations. It was also agreed that rather than focus on Khomas region alone, the criterion or set of criteria needed to be applicable to, or cover the entire country.

I would totally tattoo his name on me
Don't worry Robin. I'll make your office much less shabby.
(pictures of the mirror up in a bit..just need to clean it off, link to other mirrors here: http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=943866 http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=892098)
That is awesome.
Me:Chet:Me:My last name is Bruhl, I'm German vv
Update! I finished cleaning it off and got a good picture of it.
Don't you think that will make their office much less shabby?
Looks awesome, you should consider selling them.
I have considered it...I've actually been offered money..I need to get my own sandblaster first though..a bit low on money..
Who cares about replies from Valve? We got a reply from the guys at Artery Studios (Guys that made Secret of the Magic Crystals):
I never get replies from Valve. I even asked why Gabe is so awesome, but still nothing.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo (KKCO) We've been getting calls and e-mails for several weeks now asking when the California franchise will open in Grand Junction. The franchise owners tell us there was an issue with the gas station next door over a shared access easement. We're told the issue has been resolved. The owners say they expect to get their building permit in the next few weeks. We've also learned they plan on adding a kid's playground. The new opening date is December.
"Once we get open, come and try it out; we are going to be open 24 hours, both inside and drive-through; that way college kids who like to be out late; they can have a place to come eat some tacos," says HB Mason, franchise owner.
The restaurant will be located on U.S. Highway 6&50, between Chik-Fil-A and Carville's Auto Mart, just west of the Rimrock shopping center. The franchise plans to bring up to 70 jobs to the Western Slope. The owners plan to open a second location in Grand Junction, as well as locations in Rifle, Montrose, Delta, and possibly Gunnison.

Criminal Jury
"Serious physical
injury" is something more serious than mere physical injury, which is
defined as "impairment of physical condition or pain." It is more than
a minor or superficial injury. It is defined by statute as "physical
injury which creates a substantial risk of death, or which causes
serious disfigurement, serious impairment of health or serious loss or
impairment of the function of any bodily organ."
General Statutes § 53a-3 (4) (applies to Penal Code).
The forms of "serious physical injury" are not distinct, alternative
methods of committing a crime. The jurors need only determine
unanimously whether the victim suffered a serious physical injury; they
do not have to agree on which type of injury. State v. Wynter,
19 Conn. App. 654, 666, cert. denied, 213 Conn. 802 (1989).
Serious physical
injury does not need to be permanent. State v. Denson, 67 Conn.
App. 803, 811, cert. denied, 260 Conn. 915 (2002); see also State v.
Aponte, 50 Conn. App. 114, 121 (1998), rev'd in part on other
grounds, 249 Conn. 735 (1999) (medical testimony that injuries put
victim at risk of death at the time and temporarily impaired her
vision); State v. Rumore, 28 Conn. App. 402, 415, cert. denied,
224 Conn. 906 (1992) (unconciousness was a serious impairment); see also
State v. Rossier, 175 Conn. 204 (1978) (evidence of emotional
trauma precipitated by incident was insufficient to support conclusion
that serious physical injury had been inflicted).
