The Perry campaign has put an old ad on the air to introduce the Texas governor to South Carolina voters.
The ad, which the Perry campaign posted to their YouTube page Friday morning, is almost identical to an ad used to help introduce Perry to Iowa voters a couple of months ago.
Perry placed a disappointing fifth in the Iowa caucuses, which led him to announce that he was reassessing the viability of his presidential bid. That next morning, Perry took to Twitter to announce that he would campaign in South Carolina after all.
Reports suggest that Perry has between $3-5 million left in the bank to finance his campaign.

I have two bets for tonight, which become available after early market moves. I will go against the public here, but there are good reasons to trust my total expectations. Good luck with your selections.
Lokomotiv – Barcelona. Game 5 Preview
The series returns to Krasnodar for a decisive Game 5 with a spot at the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Final Four at stake. What will prevail ambitions or class & experience?
Barcelona – Lokomotiv
Lokomotiv is 3-2 against the spread in matches versus Barcelona, but to move series to Krasnodar, they need to make a miracle and steal a win in Palau Blaugrana. Is that possible?
Euroleague playoffs. April 19 games preview
I see only one bet for tonight games and it was already send to paid subscribers. Left games are very interesting, but it's hard to find good value bets there. But I will share my thoughts about them.
Laboral – Panathinaikos
This is the only game, where bookies did adjustments in favor of hosts.
CSKA – Crvena Zvezda
CSKA can't cover the spread in last 5 home games. Market overestimate them by an average of 4 points and today they will meet Crvena Zvezda, which is 8-3 against the spread in last 11 away games in Euroleague? What side to choose tonight?
CSKA – Crvena Zvezda
CSKA is still without J.Freeland and V.Khriapa, while Crvena Zvezda has recovered L.Mitrovic in their last game vs. Cedevita. However, M.Guduric stayed in Belgrade due the virus infection.

Women's Health
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
In this article
Treatment for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Most worsening pelvic organ prolapses can only be fully corrected with surgery. However, the type of treatment that is appropriate to treat prolapse depends on factors such as the cause and severity of the prolapse, whether the woman is sexually active, and the woman's treatment preference.
- Nonsurgical options may be most appropriate for women who are not sexually active, cannot undergo surgery because of medical reasons, or experience few or no symptoms associated with the condition.
- Surgery is the treatment option that most sexually active women who develop prolapse choose, because the procedure is usually effective and allows sexual activity.
Home Care for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Home treatments for vaginal prolapse include one or a combination of the following:
- Activity modification: For a prolapse that causes minor or no symptoms, the doctor may recommend activity modification such as avoiding heavy lifting or straining.
- Pessary: A pessary is a small device, usually made of silicone, that is placed within the vagina for support. Pessaries come in several sizes and shapes. This nonsurgical treatment option may be the most appropriate for women who are not sexually active, cannot have surgery, or plan to have surgery but need a temporary nonsurgical option until surgery can be performed (such as women who are pregnant or in poor health). Pessaries must be removed and cleaned at regular intervals to prevent infection. Some pessaries are designed to allow the woman to do this herself. A doctor must remove and clean other types. Estrogen cream is commonly used along with a pessary to help prevent infection and vaginal wall erosion. Some women find that pessaries are uncomfortable or that they easily fall out.
- Kegel exercises: These are exercises used to tighten the muscles of the pelvic floor. Kegel exercises might be used to treat mild-to-moderate cases of prolapse or to supplement other treatments for prolapses that are more serious.
Medications for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Estrogen replacement therapy may be used to help the body strengthen the muscles in and around the vagina. The therapy may not be an option for some women (such as in those with certain types of cancer). Women's bodies stop creating estrogen naturally after menopause, and the muscles of the vagina may weaken as a result. In mild cases of prolapse, estrogen may be prescribed in an attempt to reverse prolapse symptoms, such as vaginal weakening and incontinence. For more severe prolapses, estrogen replacement therapy may be used along with other types of treatment.

What I learned from The Sims: lessons from the virtual world
"A symbol always transcends the one who makes use of it and makes him say in reality more than he
is aware of expressing."
–Albert Camus
"Evil, in this system of ethics, is that which tears apart, shuts out the other person, raises
barriers, sets people against each other."
–Rollo May
When I was young I played a lot of video games. I was good at them, and I ended up learning more about computers from 15 years of playing games than I did in four years at college and 3 years of graduate study. Certainly Nintendo and the old Sierra games for PC like "King's Quest" offer different lessons than courses in Artificial Intelligence, but if a young gamer pays attention to what he is doing, there's a lot to be learned from games. I quit playing video games when I went off to university at age 18 — as much as I liked them, it seemed like I should probably spend more time in the real world, studying, playing football, and hanging out with real people doing real things rather than crushing people in Madden football or achieving global domination in Sid Meier's Civilization. 16 years later, with the exception of a few Wii games and a bit of online poker, I haven't really felt the impulse to come out of video game retirement.

Learning to extend metaphor: taking the red pill
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
In a recent post, I wrote about how attempting to write changes the way you view works of art. As I continue toiling away, creating artificial worlds in which my characters come to life and try to deal with the situations in which I place them, I find myself thinking more and more about the choices that writers make in the creation of their own artificial worlds.
The Poker Wisdom of Omar and The Wire
"Recall how often in human history the saint and the rebel have been the same person."
–Rollo May
It's been 5 years since I wrote anything about poker, so I thought it was time to get back to the roots of this blog and extract some poker wisdom from the greatest character in the greatest show of all time. That's right, it's time for some quotes from Omar Little, the Robin Hood of the Baltimore streets, the noble stick-up kid and champion of "the road less traveled." For me, The Wire transcends television… the show is so good that it goes far beyond the topics it addresses and offers up eternal truths that give us insight into how we should live our lives. Much like Hamlet is about much more than a Prince's struggle to avenge his Father's murder, the Wire is about much more than the problems of an American city.
Thoughts on Expertise (part 1): Beating Mike Tyson
I'm not really sure why, but I've always been fascinated with the idea of "expertise". What does it mean to be an expert in something? Should I strive to become an expert in something? Do "experts" tap into some kind of wisdom that non-experts never experience? Am I an expert in anything? How do you become "master of your domain"?
Finding your voice – art vs. craft
"If there is a magic in story writing, and I am convinced there is, no one has ever been able to reduce it to a recipe that can be passed from one person to another. The formula seems to lie solely in the aching urge of the writer to convey something he feels important to the reader."
–John Steinbeck
A good friend sent me a mail:
"I'd like to see you write about how writing effects how you read, or watch movies, even listen to music. I find creating music effects how I do those things."
Ask and ye shall receive! Sometimes.
As I find myself trying to learn how to write, the most interesting concept is the notion of "voice" and "style". I've often wondered how I'm perceived in the eyes of other people I care about… do they see me completely differently than I see myself? Similarly, I wonder what I would think of my own writing were I to stumble upon it, knowing nothing about the author. Who do I sound like? Are my characters believable? Does my story feel "true"?

CHICAGO, Ill. - Veteran consultants Dick Outcalt and Pat Johnson from The Retail Owners Institute will present premiium retail financial workshops as part of the DX National Retail Conference presented by Dealernews at Dealer Expo 2014, this Dec. 4-7 in Chicago.
Franchised dealers, independent retailers and service/performance shops attending Dealer Expo 2014 also will receive one-year unlimited Member Access Privileges for the Institute's online resources, calculators and additional tools, a $360 annual value, courtesy of Dealernews and Dealer Expo.
"To succeed in tomorrow's economy, dealers will need to understand the new financial models of retailing and learn the new ideas independent retailers are implementing in other markets. Outcalt and Johnson's participation at Dealer Expo 2014 will show dealers, independent retailers, service shops and allied businesses how to efficiently run the numbers, challenge their assumptions and succeed," said Mary Slepicka, content director for Dealernews.
The ROI warns that the relentless effect of "Retail Darwinism" – the survival of only the fittest and the most adaptable – continues to drive independent retailers out of business. They fail, despite having appealing stores, merchandise, employees and customers, because, sadly, they run out of cash.
"These dealers are plenty smart. They often lack basic financial comprehension. And that's not tough to learn," according to co-founders Pat Johnson and Dick Outcalt.
"Few independent retailers know how to change those outcomes", Outcalt explains. "Fewer still realize they can affect their own financial future in fun ways. We motivate them so they can.""
The Retail Owners Institute is a self-help and self-serve resource used each month by 20,000 retailers in a number of markets. The ROI helps independent retailers direct their financial future, unleashing a new "Retail Populism" that empowers these retailers with financial knowledge and prowess, and the ability to not only survive, but thrive.
At the Dealer Expo workshops, Outcalt and Johnson will show attendees how to project pre-tax profits, gross margins, inventory turns, and debt-to-worth ratios, among other factors.
Pat Johnson and Dick Outcalt, co-founders of The ROI, are recognized experts and consultants in strategic retailing. Outcalt and Johnson focus on independent retail, working with thousands of owners, general managers and other executives in a variety of markets, including automotive, motorcycle and marine. Their how-to articles on retail management have been published across 40 retail sectors, and they have been quoted in BusinessWeek, Time Magazine, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal and leading trade and regional media.
Johnson, a former bank officer, is a Certified Management Consultant, the highest accreditation in management consulting, and is a member of the Institute of Management Consultants and the National Retail Federation. Outcalt, who has an MBA in retailing from the University of Pittsburgh, was an executive for a national department store organization and an owner/operator of three independent specialty stores. He was a board member of the Institute of Management Consultants. Outcalt also is a member of the National Retail Federation. Outcalt and Johnson are based in Seattle, Wash.
Dealer Expo will be held Friday through Sunday, Dec. 5, 6, 7, 2014, at McCormick Place West in downtown Chicago, IL. It will be preceded by a one-day DX National Retail Conference on Thursday, Dec. 4, hosted and organized by Dealernews. All registered retail attendees are invited to the DX National Retail Conference educational sessions.
More than 2,000 franchised dealers and nonfranchised retailers and shops have already registered for the December event.
Retailers interested in registering to attend should call 800.556.3369 or visit www.dealerexpo.com.

Vt. judge rules stun-gun lawsuit can proceed
Woman files suit against police, calling their actions malicious
A judge has ruled that a lawsuit filed by the partner of a Vermont man who died in a stun-gun confrontation with police may proceed.
Theresa Davidonis filed the suit against Trooper David Shaffer and the Vermont State Police in July. It says Shaffer was "malicious, wanton, willful and outrageous" when he fired his Taser at Macadam Mason's chest outside their Thetford home on June 20.
Vermont Attorney General's Office, which represents Shaffer and state police in the case, had asked Judge Timothy Tomasi in January to dismiss the claims saying they failed to allege Shaffer acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The office asked that the trooper be granted immunity, but Tomasi disagreed in his ruling last week.

View the original review at: http://www.countryweekly.com/reviews/50-greatest-hits
The three-CD 50 Greatest Hits comes only three years after Reba's career was anthologized on the double-disc Reba #1's. While it may be a bit—OK, a lot—too early to ask fans to shell out for many of the same songs yet again, the differing approaches of the two sets point up the weakness of the increasingly popular "No. 1s" format for greatest-hits collections: Reba must-haves like "Fancy" (which reached only No. 8) "Why Haven't I Heard From You" (No. 5) and "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" (No. 12) didn't qualify for #1's. The three-CD format allows the inclusion of those and many more, and unexpectedly lends 50 Greatest Hits a much more compelling perspective than its predecessor. That's because there are really three Rebas here: the traditionalist of the first disc, the crossover adventurer of the second and the confident veteran of the third. The three of them add up to a one-of-a-kind talent to which 50 Greatest Hits is a worthy testament.

Abilene Police Department urges safe back to school driving
ABILENE, Texas - Thousands of youngsters are heading back to school Monday morning.
All Abilene and Wylie School Districts will open up bright and early for the new school year. With more cars on the road Monday morning and possibly more traffic jams in school zones, Abilene police have tips for parents and guardians during the morning and afternoon rush.
"Drive safe. Don't drive distracted," Abilene Police Department Public Information Officer George Spindler said.
That's the number one point the APD wants to drive home as families get ready to go back to school. APD also urge people to be aware of the school zones.
"We want guardians and parents to talk to their children about using those crosswalks," Officer Spindler said. "They are there for a reason and people need to start paying attention again."
Texas law indicates that driving in a school zone while talking on a cell phone is not allowed.
"On top of that I want to remind teenagers driving to school," Officer Spindler said. "State law still prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from utilizing a wireless device while driving. That includes handheld and hands-free."
If a driver is caught, the mistake can result in major fines.
The early morning drive comes with bright, blinding elements that could impair drivers.
"We need to be mindful that that sun could play a negative role while we're driving and the glare could cause some problems so let's make sure that those sunglasses are clean and readily available in our care and ready to go Monday," Officer Spindler said.
To prevent accidents police suggest to plan and prepare so that drivers don't have to rush and speed.
Here are the morning start times for Abilene and Wylie School Districts:
AISD: Elementary - 8:00 a.m.
AISD: Middle - 8:25 a.m.
AISD: High School - 8:35 a.m.
WISD: Pre-K, Kindergarten, Elementary - 8:00 a.m.
WISD: Intermediate, Middle, High School - 8:15 a.m.
WISD: Junior High - 8:20 a.m.

To Helen
by Edgar Allan Poe
Stanza 2 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Line 6
On desperate seas long wont to roam,
- The speaker begins the second stanza by talking about somebody who was "long want to roam" on "desperate seas."
- "Wont" is not to be confused with "won't," as in "I won't do it anymore." It is actually an old word that means "accustomed to" or "used to."
- And "Desperate" here means something like "hopeless." The seas were unforgiving and dangerous, and thus offered no hope to the wanderer.
- We know that the speaker has just been talking about either Catullus or Odysseus, so here he might still be talking about them.
- He could also be talking about himself (remember, he has already compared himself to those two guys in the first stanza). If that's the case, then he implies that he was lost before he met Helen, roaming on the "desperate seas" (or hopelessness) of life.
Lines 7-10
Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face,
Thy Naiad airs have brought me home
To the glory that was Greece,
And the grandeur that was Rome.
- The speaker now addresses Helen (Jane Stanard) again.
- Her "hyacinth hair," "classic face," and "Naiad airs" are just like those "barks" of line 2 (we'll explain all these strange words in just a moment). You know, the ones that have brought him back "home" to the "glory that was Greece" and the "grandeur that was Rome"? Right, those barks.
- Okay. So, we have Greece and Rome, but where, exactly, is the speaker's "native shore" (5)? Hmmm.
- Helen's beauty reminds the speaker of the glory of ancient Greece (the place and time where Helen supposedly lived). She also reminds him of the "grandeur" (the greatness) of ancient Rome.
- Why Greece and Rome? Why not ancient Persia? Why not Boston, Massachusetts?
- Good question, us! You see, way back when, in the nineteenth century, many people felt that ancient Greece and Rome were pretty much the most awesome places ever. The opinion was they had the best literature, the best ideas, the best architecture, the best… you get the idea. And this Helen reminds the speaker of the best that ever was (Greece and Rome). In other words, she's a total "classic," kind of like a '67 Ford Mustang or something.
- Not only that, she sort of takes him back in time, in a weird kind of way. She makes him feel at home again, but she also makes him feel as though he has gone back to an earlier time in history (when everything was supposedly better).
- Okay, we know you've been dying for an explanation of all those funky words. So here we go:
- A hyacinth is a type of flower that grows in bunches from a single stalk (they come in a variety of colors, including lavender and reddish-orange).
- It is possible that Poe is suggesting that Helen's hair somehow resembles the bunchy shape of the hyacinth. Or, he could also be implying that her hair is the same color as some hyacinths (probably the reddish-orange one, we're guessing).
- We should also point out that the hyacinth is also an important flower in Greek and Roman mythology:
- Apollo (the Greek god of music, poetry, and the sun) was in love with a young boy named Hyacinth. (Note: Apollo the Greek god is not to be confused with Apolo Ono, the speed skater dude from Dancing with the Stars and the Olympics.)
- Sadly, Hyacinth met an unfortunate end. He and Apollo were playing with a discus (kind of like a stone Frisbee), and he accidentally got hit in the head with it and died. Apollo was so upset that he took Hyacinth's blood and made a flower.
- Aw. Wasn't that sweet of him?
- The Greeks thought they could make out the ancient Greek words "ai ai" (alas!) on the flower's petals. In fact, you can see just exactly what the Greeks saw right here. This dude has written the letters next to it!
- Poe's use of the word "hyacinth" in a poem with tons of references to mythology makes us think of death, sadness, and blood.
- Oh, and before we forget, that repetition of the "h" in hyacinth hair is, once again, alliteration.
- Now for those Naiads:
- In Greek mythology, they were nymphs (female nature deities, but not gods) associated with fresh bodies of water (streams, brooks, fountains, wells, springs, that sort of thing). Naiads were usually beautiful, very closely connected to particular spots, and even sometimes very dangerous.
- In other vocabulary info, "airs" most likely means "attitude" or "expression." "Naiad airs," then, means that Helen resembles a divine, beautiful, and potentially dangerous creature. Awesome!
- Hey, really quick, did you notice that this stanza rhymes a little bit differently than the first stanza? Yes ma'am it does. The scheme here is: ABABA (although lines 2 and 4 are more of a slant rhyme than a perfect match).

Each stop will be accompanied by food, entertainment, and giveaways, so you won't want to miss out!
On the way to SEMA, the Car Guy Nation Scion FR-S will also be checking in with Matt Farah of Attack of the Show on G4TV. Matt and the Car Guy Nation crew will be taking the car back to the track for a few runs, as well as some skid pad testing for an upcoming episode of the show.
Finally, upon reaching the end of the Scion Road to SEMA in Las Vegas, the FR-S will be cleaned off and loaded onto the Las Vegas Convention Center floor, where more than 100,000 people will get a chance to see the car after its proven itself on roads all across the country.

I don't always sneak treats into the movies. Most of the time I am a complete cheapskate when it comes to movie food product purchases, but last week my family and I spent our hard-earned money on a variety of overpriced items while visiting a nice theater in Lakeland.
The day started out in a roller rink. I know. Why in the world would I, an RN, risk my life and limb for a couple mediocre hours attempting to enjoy something that involves disco lights and potential bodily harm? The short answer is this: my husband, Chris, bought our daughter a pair of roller skates.
Chris can skate. He can do practically anything, which is one reason I love him so much. The rest of us were more or less floundering around the rink hoping for the best. For a while, I didn't fall. I kept thinking to myself, "You have to work tomorrow. Don't become a patient."
Everything was wonderful until "Roll-On the Barbarian" crashed into me. He was probably in his 30s and it was an accident. Still, he was going well above an advisable speed limit for the edges of the rink where young children and scared moms were creeping along. I fell onto my hip which would have surely broken if I were 30 years older, but I'm 40 and "thick around the edges" so I bounced.
Chris was beyond upset. As much as I wanted to see him squash the guy's head into a pickle jar, I figured forgiveness was the best option. Soon after that, we packed up our stuff and set off to see the new "Planet of the Apes" movie.
Lakeland has one of those theaters where every seat is great. They recline a bit and are set up stadium style. Once we had our swag and settled in our lush chairs, I figured everything was going to fall into place. I was mistaken.
The first annoyance was my own spawn. She picked cotton candy and bottled water at the concession stand. It seemed harmless at first, but once the theater became quiet, the error of my judgment was blaringly obvious.
For some reason, she was unable to allow gravity the opportunity to assist her hydration needs while using a bottle. Instead, she made loud crunching sounds with the bottle as she squeezed it tight to ensure the water flowed out a fast rate. Me saying "STOP IT!" in a loud whisper was not exactly silent either.
Then, her cotton candy was packaged in a foil bag. What was I thinking? She felt the need to roll it up and unroll it each time she took a bite; crinkle, crinkle. "Mommy, do you want some?" She asked so innocently.
"I want you to stop crinkling that bag!" The apes were quieter than her.
Next, the baby started acting up. Who brings a baby to a loud ape movie? I couldn't believe it. That is why they have babysitters. You know how many new movies my husband and I saw the first two years after our son was born? Zero. It's called sacrifice.
Finally, the last distraction was the smokers. They got up twice and came back reeking of cigarettes. I know people who smoke and quitting isn't easy, but it was like they bathed in a smoke shower.
Besides all that, the film was okay, just a bit long. It will be a while before we go to another movie and I'll be smuggling snacks next time: marshmallows in cloth sacks with drinks in army canteens.

Maui goes to Baguio.
This is the Baguio Midland Courier article which comes out on this Sunday's issue. For background info on Maui, please click here, and for photos of her Baguio trip, please go here.
Baguio people show ailing girl what kindness is about
Human beings have always had it in them to extend a hand to someone in need, even if it's someone they barely know.
This was proven once again by a number of this city's residents when they helped grant the wish of a six-year-old ailing girl from a hard-up family in Pateros to see Baguio City.
A University of the Philippines Baguio alumnus' fund-raising drive to send Chrislyne Maui Dollaigue to Baguio City produced about P18,000, a sizeable part of which was contributed by a Baguio resident.
Last Aug. 9 to 11, the fund drive culminated in Maui's consequent trip to Baguio City. Her parents Chito and Evelyn and younger sister Abel came with her. Fundraiser Jose Orlando "Tiki" Garcia accompanied them.
The cash is apart from the various forms of kindness and kinship extended by some Baguio residents who have read about Maui and her wish to see the city.
The 'Bring Maui to Baguio City' project
Hello everyone! I am Kat of http://tissuepaperworld.pansitan.net
I am posting here to solicit help for my friend Tiki's personal mission.
Tiki and I went to college in the University of the Philippines, Baguio campus. (Tiki graduated in 2001, I graduated the following year)
We are both from Metro Manila and in the course of our college lives, we have developed a deep affinity for Baguio City. This city has become a very special place for both of us. In fact, I have relocated here (my second attempt, the first one was in 2005) and Tiki regularly visits the city whenever time permits (at times even if it does not).
Anyway. Tiki met six-year-old Maui in the UP-Philippine General Hospital last month. Maui has been a regular patient at the hospital since she was born. In one of their talks, Maui mentioned to Tiki her fervent wish to be able to go to Baguio when her treatment is through. For the complete story on Maui's condition and Tiki's special project, please click here.
For an article on Maui published in Baguio City's leading community newspaper, please click here. In that article you will also find Tiki's (real name: Jose Orlando Garcia) contact details.
Any kind of help will be highly appreciated. Prayers for Maui, most especially, are needed. She was rushed to the emergency room last July 24 and as of now Tiki and her family want Maui to satisfactorily recover before her Baguio trip pushes through.
Thank you all for your time.

Better Weekends
I love hosting parties, most specially parties with my closest girl friends. The get-togethers I have with them that last the whole weekends are the best. The fun, the people, getting together, it always gives me a warm feeling even while I put things away the morning after.
Altho I enjoy cooking and setting all the food, I have to admit that it's really very tiring. There were times that the guests would be arriving and I wouldn't be done cooking yet, not to mention not showering yet. There were some partie, too, that my husband and I had to wake up so early in the morning just to get a headstart with the cooking and the preparation. When you get to be that tired, you don't get to savor these memorable moments with your friends to the fullest.

The 3GB Community
There's a social networking site out there called the 3GB Community (http://www.3gb.biz). It's a community website aimed for the members to meet new friends, search and reconnect with old friends they have not corresponded or connected with for awhile now. Members can also upload their photos, join smaller communit groups, blog and chat with other members. There's also a page where you can listen to MP3s.
The site is basically functions just like other networking communities but the one thing that is good about this site is that it's new and you can be one of the pioneers before they become huge. To date they have 645 members and 36 groups . It's really new but with the links and features, there's a potential for 3gb to be at par with the other social networking communities out there.
The developers of 3gb guarantee privacy of your personal information and would not share it with any third party.
The community also lets you create your own blog. You can also share your blog with the community and you can view the blog entries of the other members. Right now, there are about 52 blogs that you can read and enjoy.
You can also search for other members using their advanced search engine. You can search by state, by country, yahoo messenger or facebook id.

There IS Help
According to Wikipedia, "Addiction was a term used to describe a devotion, attachment, dedication, inclination, etc. Nowadays, however, the term addiction is used to describe a recurring compulsion by an individual to engage in some specific activity, despite harmful consequences to the individual's health, mental state or social life. The term is often reserved for drug addictions but it is sometimes applied to other compulsions, such as problem gambling, and compulsive overeating. Factors that have been suggested as causes of addiction include genetic, biological / pharmacological and social factors."
Previously, addiction only pertained to the "drugs" kind. But now, addiction doesn't just mean substance abuse. It also could be an addiction to gambling, alcohol, sex or the internet.
It isn't easy dealing with an addiction – for the person and for his/her family. A lot of families or relationships break down because of one person's addiction. A lot of time, professional help is really needed. There's a lot of help centers out there but if you live in Florida or choose to be in Florida, you could look up C.A.R.E. Florida (http://www.careflorida.com).
C.A.R.E. Florida is a very good provider for holistic drug rehab and addiction treatment. They have a unique outlook on curing addictions and preventing relapses so that the patients can avoid going back to their old habits. They successfully use yoga exercises, therapeutic massages, other forms of exercises and group therapies as part of their program to get people well.
Drug Rehab is still hard work, and CARE lets their patients know that they will be working hard since their interdisciplinary treatment program includes really good individual therapy, psychiatric evaluation and treatment, a structured living environment and the alternative holistic treatments. Their patients will be involved with a lot of activities – physical, mental and spiritual.
The C.A.R.E. Florida website introduces to the visitors to their very competent staff from their executive director, Mitchell E. Wallick, to their nurses and therapists and counsellors and their methods of treatments for different kinds of addictions and eating disorders. The website also gives the patients instructions during their admissions to the center as well as show visitors the available ammenities at the center. A good bonus in the website is the explanation/definition of a lot of common terms related to addiction and it's treatment. This is a big help to the people who want to learn more about their problems. Also, it features videos of rehabilitations.
So if you or a loved one is having a problem with addiction or some eating disorder, a visit to http://www.careflorida.com might be the answer to a lot of your questions.

Let's Talk Stats
Top Ten Pansitan.Net Subdomains
Pansitan.net enjoys very good web stats. Above, you can see the top ten most visited subdomains in the community. I guess, one of the reasons we get a lot of visitors is because of the variety of entries we offer our readers. The above statistics are ranked based on number of visitors. (Based on January 2008 webalizer)
If you maintain a website, and have a site counter tool installed on your site, you probably enjoy looking at your numbers growing month by month (depending if you diligently refresh your contents to entice your guests to come back). But what do those measures really mean? Here's a bit of explanation for each of them:
Hits -A hit counts each file on a page. Look at a page on your site. Including the html file your visitor is looking at, a hit also counts if you have images, sound files, or whatever else you have on that page that's being called. So if you have 2 images, 1 mp3 file streaming, 1 video file; a javascript exec, then a visit to this page would give you a total of 6. If you really think about it, a hit doesn't really mean anything if you want to know how much traffic you get on your site.
Requests – Also called a "page request" or "page" , a request is basically the same as a hit.
Visitor – A visitor is one IP (internet protocol, each computer that connects to the internet has its own IP) that goes to your site in a 30-min period. So if this same visitor comes back to your site after 30 minutes, she would be counted as a different visitor.
Unique Visitor – Much like a visitor, but with a unique visitor, your visitor's IP is just counted once.
Page View – Page views show you a count of the number of pages looked at, not counting the graphic or whatever else file you have on your page.
There's a lot of things you can learn from your statistics. Altho they may not be taken as the "end all and be all" since there might be some other factors involved like page caching and visitors who go thru a router to go to the internet but there still are some useful information that can teach you how to improve your site's popularity and "reader-reach". Also together with your stats, you might also want to know how your visitors found your site and which pages they go to and which they don't look at.
Basically, when you study your website stats, consider your number of visitors, the pages they frequent, what link/site referred them to your site, and what are the normal keywords they used that landed them to your site. Site referrers could be your ad campaigns, or if you own a blog, a reciprocal link or search engine referral. Keywords are a very invaluable source of information for you. Your website counter will actually tell you which keywords you used you scored high on. Using these keywords you could try to optimize on those words a lot.
Another thing that you'd also like to look at is your daily visits per day. For Pansitan.net, the days with the highest visits among the members happen every Mondays and Wednesdays, with Tuesdays and Thursdays close seconds. The least day we get visitors is on Sunday (2 out of 25 websites). Knowing the day of the week your visitors come more often, would at least give you an insight on when you should normally update your site. If they come most often on a Tuesday, have your entry up and running by Monday night. This would at least give you a chance to set your visitors' visiting habits to your site.
So how do you increase web traffic to your site? That's something we'll be talking about next time… For now, do visit our sites in the community and be entertained no end with what we offer you 🙂
Stumble Upon "StumbleUpon"
There's a cool web-surfing tool I'm addicted to right now – StumbleUpon. It's an engine that shows you websites recommended by other surfers with the same interests as you do. It uses ratings to form opinions on the quality of a website. So you get to view websites that other surfers rated as high-quality.
I actually like it because I get to find websites that I wouldn't know with an ordinary search engine. Altho, I will still be an avid Google'r, but StumbleUpon is a fun way to while away the time on the 'net.
StumbleUpon is also a cool way to add more visitors to your site. If your visitors tag your sites as a favorite, it gets added to the roster of stumbled sites and there's a better chance that other surfers will "stumble upon" your pages. But this doesn't happen without some social networking. If you want to get stumbled, you should also stumble some pages. Tit for tat, as they say.
But even just for surfing StumbleUpon really is cool. If not for them, I wouldn't have discovered these pages (may they be awesome, hilarious, weird, whatever…):

Improving UX/UI in advertising has been a challenge for many folks for a long time, and I wanted to see if anyone could provide good resources on the subject. In addition, I'd love to hear what people think about this topic.
Here are a couple articles I found interesting thus far:
Most of the sites I've have worked on in the last several years have generated the bulk of their revenue through subscriptions or product sales. My current project is to design a mobile website for a news/magazine organization that generates a lot of their revenue through ad sales. In particular, they are looking at having a single advertiser "sponsor" their mobile website for an entire month.
Hello all,
We are looking to revamp our website and make it more structured and informative, yet visually appealing to our guests. One suggestion that came up was the use of 'rotating banner' on our home page with some key information and links to our internal web pages.
We thus wanted to get an idea from the design community whether rotating banners are still in trend to use on the homepae of a website, as they were riding high couple of years back.
And, do they still have the same appeal to and draw from viewers?
I would like to engage the UX designer community in a discussion about the different roles and skills necessary in today's User Experience design field. We have allowed many people in years past to define, or try to define what a UX designer is. From developers, who may see us as simple-minded individuals who don't understand basic UI design principles, to the business executives, who may see what we do as the final frosting decoration on the cake.
Hi All,
We often end up in a debate with our clients who are desperate for
earning some extra revenue by adding new advertising spots on the
How much ever we hate it, we end up trying to create a balance. It is
often the only source of revenue for many content based sites.
I am currently doing a research on how to deal with advertising with
minimum compromise on user experience.
Do we have any research / guidelines / best practices supporting the
same? How can we explain them the user experience point of view.
Ankit Shekhawat
For a product we are redesigning, we are beginning to add advertising
to our desktop software. This will come in the form of contextually
relevant ads because of something the user searched for and they will
also be delivered on the homepage of our application. The ads on the
homepage will not necessarily be spam. They will be things that have
the potential to be relevant to our users, but in no way help users
reach their goals of why they are using this application.
My question is, you can have a page like Amazon.com.
I'd love to hear people's thoughts, especially from the fishies among
us about this deal.
I was speaking w/ a microsofty today about this and he is convinced
this is the new beginning of advertising. My take on it was more
personal. Razorfish has been a major organ (can't quite say it is the
heart) of the NYC/Silicon Alley UX scene for close to 10 years if not
10 years. It is hard to imagine that this organization is falling under
the umbrella of Microsoft. Will it still maintain it's brand? And
worse, will it still keep its NYC edge and connections?
Hello all
I am looking for Interesting, fun, rich, interactive (anything really)
examples of good online advertising. I am designing a site that
requires featured space (ads to inspirational content) in order to break the
user's normal purchasing habits (in an attempt to increase average order
Any examples of good online advertising?
(No static banners ads please)
Many thanks
Does anyone know which organization is behind this conference? Any idea on
the format, speakers etc?

Archetype: Medusa - The Personification of Anger and Revanchist Retribution
"Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured." ~Mark Twain
Medusa, along with her sisters, Euryale and Stheno were daughters of the Titans of the Sea, Porcys and Ceto. The Medusa (Algol) was the younger, the most beautiful and also the only one among the three gorgons that was a mortal.
It is said that they were very wise and they served as priestesses to Athena, the virgin goddess of wisdom. But Poseidon, the sea god, forced himself on Medusa inside of Athena's temple. Medusa tried to plea her innocence in the face of the actions of the forceful god, but Athena did not accept her pleas. Recognizing herself pregnant, she became vindictive and spiteful about men. Her deep sadness and grief transformed her into something she did not recognize, and she lost forever her privileges as a high priestess of a Virgin Goddess.
Athena turned Medusa and her sisters in horrific beasts with scaly skin, wings and hair made up of coiled snakes. Medusa was the only mortal. All those who were caught looking at her, or looking into her eyes, became petrified. Her bitterness and resentment induced Medusa to live in an isolated cave where she was later beheaded by Perseus.
Two distinct beings came into existence from this creature: Chrysaor and Pegasus; Medusa's children were born at the moment when Medusa was beheaded. Chrysaor has this name because he was born with a golden sword. He was also the father of Echidna, the terrible monster that was half woman, half snake. Pegasus was a winged horse that Bellerophon accompanied on his adventures.

CFO Moves: McKesson, Symantec, Ally Financial
McKesson, a health-care-services company based in San Francisco, named James Beer as its new chief financial officer, replacing Jeff Campbell, who left the company in June to take the CFO post at American Express Mr. Beer, who joins the company Oct. 9, has been the CFO of Symantec, of Mountain View, Calif.-based information security firm, since February 2006. Symantec separately named Andrew Del Matto, chief accounting officer, as acting CFO while the company conducts an internal and external search for Mr. Beer's permanent replacement. Mr. Beer will receive a base salary of $800,000, a bonus of $446,000 if he stays with the company through March and a signing bonus of more than $1.1 million, part of which he'll have to repay if his contract is terminated under certain circumstances within the first two years. The company is also recommending its board approve longer term cash and equity awards valued at nearly $3.2 million, plus shorter term equity awards with a combined value of $6.5 million, according to a regulatory filing.
Ally Financial Inc., an auto lender and bank holding company based in Detroit, said Christopher Halmy has been promoted to CFO from treasurer. Bradley Brown, currently its structured-funding executive, will take over the treasurer role. Mr. Halmy replaces James Mackey, who is leaving the company in November to go to Freddie Mac, the government-controlled home-loan financier. Compensation information for Mr. Halmy wasn't immediately disclosed. Before joining Ally in 2009 as the structured-finance executive, Mr. Halmy served in a number of treasury roles at several major banks and a Big Four auditor. Freddie Mac will pay Mr. Mackey a base salary of $500,000, an opportunity for up to $2.5 million more in deferred salary payments based on company performance and a signing bonus of $960,000 to offset forfeited compensation from Ally and new commuting expenses during the first months of his employment, subject to certain claw-back provisions, according to a Freddie Mac filing.

Excellent performance in yield and fiber quality starts with selecting superior germplasm. Our breeding program utilizes both conventional and molecular breeding methods to develop cottons with disease and nematode resistance. In addition, our breeders have started a minimal moisture research project that is unique to our cotton breeding program. In order to develop broadly adapted varieties, we currently manage breeding nurseries in Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas. The integration of the NexGen and Syngenta germplasm has provided a broad genetic base of cottonseed lines. This germplasm depth allows us to build upon the resources we already have at Americot. We will continue to develop a broad germplasm base so that we will have performance enhanced germplasm for new technological traits.
Growers know seed quality is all about production and processing. We are committed to giving attention to details – this includes maintaining high standards in our field production and how our seed is processed.
Quality cottonseed alone is not enough to meet the needs of our customers – we know each field has different needs and growers need answers to help them make the best production decisions. We strive to have exceptional people with sound field experience and integrity to serve our growers.
Sometimes, environmental conditions can be hard on area crops and replants are common due to hail and other adverse weather. We believe in our varieties and are willing to stand behind them. We have demonstrated this commitment by implementing a replant program that provides free replacement seed to farmers who need to replant behind a failed or lost stand of Americot® and NexGen® cottonseed. A drought relief program is also in effect for fields that fail to yield 150 pounds of lint per land acre.
At Americot, our priorities are simple: excellent performance, quality products, and exceptional people to serve our growers. Our advantage is that our sole focus is on cottonseed, and we strive to provide quality cottonseed in varieties with high yield potential and excellent fiber properties with the most current technologies. Please continue browsing through the site and contact us with questions or suggestions for improvement. We want the opportunity to earn your business!

Hartford -- Three years after its tourism budget was reduced to $1, Connecticut is back with a two-year, $27 million marketing campaign to promote tourism and brand the state as "still revolutionary."
The state spent $500,000 on its new logo and other creative materials, with most of the remainder of the two-year budget going to the placement of ads on television, radio, billboards and social media. It also created a new website, ctvisit.com.
The campaign is geared to growing the state's $11.5 billion annual tourism business, but it also is meant to assist in economic development, branding the state as cutting edge from Eli Whitney to Igor Sikorsky to bioscience.
"It's not just about tourism. It's not just about hospitality. It's about getting our step back in Connecticut," Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Monday at a press conference at the Old State House. "That's why I believe it is the right story to tell."
The initial ads feature Connecticut's coast, hills and tourism spots, including the Mystic Aquarium, Essex Steam Train, Goodspeed Opera House, Gillette Castle, Connecticut Science Center and the state's two tribal casinos.
Woven throughout the campaign is Connecticut's place in history, beginning with Whitney's revolutionary interchangeable parts in manufacturing and continuing to Samuel Colt's famed single-action revolvers and Sikorsky's helicopters.
Malloy made clear during the 2010 campaign for governor that he saw the state's elimination of tourism marketing as shortsighted, and he repeatedly complained that Connecticut undersold its place in history.
On Monday, the governor even mentioned a piece of history unlikely to find its way into a marketing campaign: its role in the 1960s sexual revolution.
He referred to Griswold v. Connecticut, a 1965 case in which the U.S. Supreme Court struck down legal prohibitions on the use of contraception. It is considered a precursor to Roe v. Wade, which asserted a right to privacy, effectively legalizing abortion.
The campaign launched today was the result of work announced in January by the state Department of Economic and Community Development, which hired Chowder Inc., a creative agency specializing in "destination marketing and advertising."
Also working on the camapign are: Fleishman-Hillard, a global marketing firm based in St. Louis; Media Storm of Norwalk; and The Harrison Group, a research and marketing company based in Waterbury. Harrison's specialities include travel research.
