RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazil´s top biomedical research and development center announced plans on Monday to produce a combined measles and rubella vaccine for developing countries, mainly in Africa. The first Brazilian vaccine developed specifically for export will be made by Bio-Manguinhos, a unit of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Brazilian health minister Alexandre Padilha announced the vaccine plan at a medical science conference that the Gates Foundation organized in Rio de Janeiro. ...

Tuscan Style Steamed Clams
Todays recipe comes from Chef Jack Amon of the Marx Bros. Café in Anchorage Alaska, who has this to say:
This is a dish I serve frequently as an appetizer. The onion and carrot add a nice touch of color and the red chili gives it some zip. While designed as a first course, one could serve it over spaghetti and make a nice entrée.

Services Displace Factories in Driving U.S. Expansion: Economy
Service producers are taking over from manufacturing as the driver of the almost three-year-old U.S. expansion.
The end of the recession in June 2009 triggered the biggest surge in production in a decade, propelled by rising demand from overseas and the need to replenish inventories and upgrade equipment. That is now giving way to increasing sales at places like restaurants, transportation companies and temporary-help agencies, leading to gains in employment that have bolstered the world's largest economy.
"The pickup in services provides a broader base for the economic expansion and actually is a source of more sustainable growth," said Richard DeKaser, deputy chief economist at Parthenon Group LLC in Boston and the third-best forecaster of gross domestic product in the two years to February, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News. "We're going to continue to see job gains close to the magnitude we've seen in recent months, with services likely contributing a large share."
The economy has created more than 200,000 jobs in each of the past three months, and the increase in payrolls since September has been the biggest since 2006, according to figures from the Labor Department. The Institute for Supply Management's services index, which includes mining and construction companies and tracks about 88 percent of the economy, has exceeded its factory gauge in seven of the last eight months, opening the biggest advantage in three years in February.
Bernanke on Jobs
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said today that while he's encouraged by progress in the labor market, "continued accommodative policies" are necessary to sustain demand that will further boost job growth.
"A wide range of indicators suggests that the job market has been improving, which is a welcome development indeed," Bernanke said to the National Association for Business Economics. "Still, conditions remain far from normal, as shown, for example, by the high level of long-term unemployment and the fact that jobs and hours worked remain well below pre-crisis peaks, even without adjusting for growth in the labor force."
A report from the National Association of Realtors today showed the number of Americans signing contracts to buy previously owned homes held in February near an almost two-year high, a sign that the real estate market may be stabilizing.
The index of pending home purchases fell 0.5 percent to 96.5 after a 2 percent increase the prior month. January's reading of 97 was the highest since April 2010. The median forecast of 41 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News called for a 1 percent rise.
German Business Confidence
In Germany today, a gauge of business confidence unexpectedly rose to an eight-month high in March, suggesting Europe's largest economy will return to growth even as the sovereign-debt crisis curbs euro-area demand for its exports.
U.S. stocks rose after Bernanke's comments and as investors speculated the European Union will increase the size of its bailout fund. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index climbed 1 percent to 1,411.20 at 10:28 a.m. in New York.
Manufacturing in the U.S. "is doing yeoman's work in keeping things growing moderately," said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors Inc. in Holland, Pennsylvania. "But by itself, it cannot shift the economy into high gear. What we are starting to see, and what we absolutely need to see, is the spending on services side that can drive the economy forward to some pretty solid growth."
Retail Sales
Retail sales climbed 10.3 percent in February from the same month in 2011 before adjusting for seasonal variations, second to the 10.6 percent gain in March 2010 as the biggest in a decade, data from the Commerce Department showed March 13. Auto dealers, furniture stores, home and garden centers, and restaurants were among merchants seeing a pickup in demand in excess of 10 percent over the past year.
By contrast, factory production was up 5.1 percent last month from a year earlier, cooling from a decade high 8.1 percent gain in the year ended June 2010, according to figures from the Fed. Reports from regional Fed banks in New York and Philadelphia showed gains in orders slowed in March.
Staples Inc., the Framingham, Massachusetts-based office-supply chain, is among service providers seeing a pickup.
"Things are starting to feel a little better, especially in North America," Ronald L. Sargent, Staples' chief executive officer, said in a Feb. 29 conference call. "The economy is slowly starting to turn," he said, "and small business seems to be leading the way."
Small Business
Confidence among small businesses rose in February to the highest level in a year as profits improved, a survey by the National Association of Independent Business showed March 13. The group's earnings gauge climbed to the highest level since before the recession began, and more owners said they are boosting wages to attract workers as sales increase.
Spending on "the little luxuries of life," like dining out, "is really good because it shows growing confidence," said Naroff. "That's what we need to see within the economy for it to pick up steam."
New cars are on Americans' shopping lists, indicating that auto production will be one area of manufacturing that will hold up. Cars last month sold at the fastest pace in four years, led by Chrysler Group LLC and a surprise gain from General Motors Co.
Growing car purchases can also prove to be a boom to service industries. Jacksonville, Florida-based CSX Corp., the biggest railroad in the eastern U.S., said March 15 that its auto volume has advanced about 20 percent this year through March 9.
Auto Production
Auto production "is critical not just for our automotive business, but also for our steel business, our chemical business and our intermodal business," Fredrik Eliasson, CSX's chief financial officer, said at a JPMorgan Chase & Co. conference in New York.
The pickup in services brightens the outlook for hiring because those industries rely more on workers than machines to satisfy demand, said Parthenon Group's DeKaser.
"In services you don't have the kind of large productivity gains that we enjoy in manufacturing," he said. "Manufacturing output can more readily be met through productivity gains, whereas the services sector requires more workers."
As the rebound in manufacturing gave the economy time to heal, a more stable construction industry may now be giving factories a lift. Excluding the period in mid-2010 when housing got a boost from the Obama administration's first-time buyer tax credit, output of building materials over the past three months has climbed by the most since 1994, the Fed's industrial production report showed last week.
"The service sector is snapping back" said Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. in New York. The economic expansion "is broadening out, which tells me the gains are more likely to be sustained than if they were led by just one area of the economy."

Just bought this pair of shorts for gym use. Works great for running and training with the built in compression layer. The shorter length works great too in the gym environment. Would gladly buy more if they bring in a few more colors but can't complain. ... read more
The waistband on this skirt is the most comfortable, soft, forgiving way to top a skirt. Also the inner shorts are so incredibly stretchy that the entire thing seems to fit like a lightweight second skin. I don't have to pull at it and adjust it. It works well in sweaty situations. It washes well. I love it. ... read more
I didn't like these shorts. I read that they run small. I usually wear M, but got S and they were still rather baggy looking. I got them because I liked the cut out detail, but if you have ever burned the edge of a ribbon to keep it from fraying and then noticed the the edge was kind of hard and scratchy, you'll know how the cut outs in these shorts feel. I put them on and while walking next door, I started to feel uncomfortable scratching in my inner thighs from the cutouts. I don't recommend these shorts ... read more
I have a pair of last year's model in these shorts, and they're great. They're a tad short and tight so I figured I'd go a size up. That was way too loose through the thighs, they fit disproportionately more baggy. Also, I expected them to have the red elastic band on the back, they do not. Sending them back. Otherwise, good quality shorts. ... read more
The color and fit of these shorts is great! I usually don't like workout shorts because they bunch at the back and don't conform to my body. These fall really well and just look great. They could be an inch shorter to show off the legs more, but all in all I think they're REALLY comfortable and work well at keeping me cool during my workout. And the color is really cool. I would definitely buy again! ... read more
First off THIS SHIRT IS NOT WHITE. It is off white, eggshell, ecru or something like that. Would be five star except online picture make it look white. Otherwise great shirt nice fit comfortable and keep you cool. More fitted than loose so keep that in mind. ... read more
light, airy and keeps you cool! the length is short so it may be very cropped on tall women. I am 5'4" and it hits me just above my hips. has a slight dolman sleeve style, but not as baggy/eggagersted as the other stella jackets seem to have. ... read more
I'm not the skinny model type and do not like shirts that are too fitted in the body. These polos are just right, having room for a "normal" sized person. The sleeves are short enough for the shirt to retain a clean and neat look. The Climacool fabric is light and comfortable also. I highly recommend these polos for people that like to dress casually, but nicer than a t-shirt. ... read more
They're great looking shorts but for a sport like tennis where you're running in every direction the laser cut fabric is very uncomfortable on your inner thighs. I have next to no fat there and have never had chafing. It's a design issue with the shorts. Get the skirt instead. ... read more

Banks Brush Off Moody's Downgrade
By Brett Philbin and Patrick McGee
Among the myriad "headwinds" facing the banks has been the specter of downgrades from Moody's. Well, you can check that one off the list after yesterday, and maybe investors weren't so worried about it after all.
Most financial stocks moved higher and bonds rallied, and while investors are certainly relieved that the four-month overhang is over, investors had plenty of time to prepare themselves — Moody's first announced the review in February, after all.
"This has been telegraphed — it's the financial market's worst-kept secret," Ed Marrinan, strategist at RBS Securities, said. "The market has had literally months to plan different scenarios."
Financials are the S&P 500′s best-performing sector, rising 0.9%, while the KBW Bank Index, a collection of large capitalization financial stocks, is up 1%.
Morgan Stanley is leading the pack, up 2%. Moody's cut the firm's long-term debt rating by two notches to Baa1 from A2, in a move that will likely raise its funding costs and could mean a collateral call of roughly $6.7 billion. But Moody's spared the firm from a three-level downgrade, allowing it avoid a worst-case scenario.
Other banks trading higher Friday include Bank of America, J.P. Morgan, UBS, and Credit Suisse.
The Moody's review, "coupled with the European financial crisis, has been the primary reason for the underperformance of the universal banks," Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analyst David Konrad wrote, adding that "although a downgrade is not a positive, we are encouraged that the downgrades were in line or better than expectations and it appears that a headwind has been removed."
For months, investors have fretted about the affect ratings downgrades would have on major banks that are in the midst of coping with Europe's debt woes and a slowing U.S. economy. The downgrades could force those firms to put up billions of dollars in additional collateral to back their trading activities.
Bank bonds are also rallying in early trading, led by Morgan Stanley. The risk premium, or spread, on the firm's 5.75% coupon, 10-year bonds has improved 0.33 percentage points to 4.03%, extending the month-to-date improvement to 0.96 points, according to MarketAxess.
"Everyone thought they would be downgraded three notches," said Dan Hannis, who runs corporate bond trading at William Blair & Co. He characterized the positive moves as a "relief rally," adding that Morgan Stanley bonds could improve another 0.50 percentage points.
The 5.75% coupon, 10-year bond from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS), which also got hit with a two-notch downgrade, improved 0.10 percentage points in early trading to a spread of 3.31 over Treasurys.
Citigroup's 10-year bonds improved 0.11 points after being slashed two notches, while Bank of America, which suffered a one-notch hit, is seeing its 10-year bond spread strengthen by 0.17 percentage points.
The bank bond rally has led the entire corporate bond market higher. According to Markit's CDX North America Investment Grade Index, the market strengthened 1.4% in early trading.

Location: Mycotoxin Prevention and Applied Microbiology
Project Number: 5010-22410-016-00
Start Date: Apr 24, 2013
End Date: Apr 23, 2018
More than 95,000 accessions of microbial genetic resources, including food-borne pathogenic bacteria, actinobacteria, yeasts, plant pathogenic fungi, grain storage molds, and other microbes of biomedical and biotechnological importance and associated information will be maintained in a secure centralized limited-access facility. Strain records including inventory data will be updated and maintained in an updated and improved Culture Collection Database System that also manages strain requests received from the collection website, facilitates, permanently storing the details of germplasm distributions. Germplasm held only as frozen preparations under liquid nitrogen vapor phase will be shipped to National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation (NCGRP), for backup storage as a safeguard against catastrophic loss and the backup collection of lyophilized preparations currently stored at another remote ARS facility will be consolidated there during this project cycle. Strains resulting from ARS research efforts or required to fulfill current or planned research will be acquired from collaborators or other collections after consultation with team members, collaborators, the Office of National Programs and the U.S. Culture Collection Network. The genomics of actinobacterial germplasm within the collection (specifically in the genus Streptomyces) will be evaluated through determination and evaluation of gene content in draft genome sequences of strains of significance to agriculture or biotechnology. Gene sequence data already accumulated for fungal strains within the ARS Culture Collection through associated research efforts under ARS NP108 (Food Safety, Animal and Plant Products) will be organized and made accessible in a web-based sequence database to be interconnected with the Culture Collection Strain Database System and novel species discovered in the course of this process will be fully characterized.

Women in Animation Workshop
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
July 24, 2006
Ladies, want to polish your animation voice-over skills? Well, don't wait a minute longer. Read this post!
Here's a fantastic opportunity for you:
Susan Berkley (GreatVoice.com) is hosting a Women in Animation event at Edge Studios in NYC on July 29-30. Taught by Pat Fraley and Hillary Huber, the event also features an afternoon in the booth with Leslie Zaslower, the casting director for Nickelodeon!
This will be an exclusive, necessarily expensive, boutique style event for only 12 women. As of this morning there is only 1 space left. This is a fantastic opportunity for female voice talent (serious beginner through pro) to develop their own stable of highly marketable character voices.
You'll start working remotely with Pat before the workshop even begins and walk away with all your studio trax on CD.
The first 5 spaces were snapped up by women who had attended the last Women in Animation event in NY (including Susan). They couldn't wait to come back for more!
Truth be known, Susan has never considered herself to be a cartoon-y person. She made her career doing the "straight stuff"-- but now Susan Berkley is ready to come out of the box, expand her range and creativity for commercials, audio publishing, video games and the like.
This is your opportunity to hone your skills, too.
This event is well worth it for anyone who cares about getting the very best coaching for their career. Pat Fraley has done over 4,000 cartoons. He is also Nancy Cartwright's coach (the voice of Bart Simpson). In fact, some big name Hollywood Actors are studying with Pat and Hillary so they can book those lucrative animation gigs.
For further information on this workshop, visit Susan Berkley's website or call her office at 201-541-8595 during east coast business hours.
As I mentioned above, Susan told me that there is only 1 seat left and the event is this weekend.
If you go, have a great time!

I had the privilege of attending the NYC Women in Animation workshop in May and wish that I could be there this weekend. You can read full details about it and see pictures on my blog at www.KarenBlogs.com. It was an AMAZING class! The 12 women who are take advantage of this opportunity to learn from the masters will forever benefit from their decision. I want a full report when the class is over! :)Posted by:

Every time I have sex with my SO I fantasize about someone else. And it's always a random guy I don't even know but is really sexy. I have a very sluty imagination
I've watched more porn during this pregnancy than I have in my entire life
I suspect my SO of cheating on me, but I have no proof
I start a new job on Tuesday, they don't know I'm pregnant
The only reason I plan on breast feeding is because I want to lose the weight , the benefits to the baby is just a bonus
I still have breast milk from my first pregnancy, I haven't breast fed since she was 6 months old, she's 2 1/2 now. I have enough milk to feed an entire village for a month, so I guess I can save my 50 cents a day.
Last night when I got out of the shower I went to grab my bra out of the drawer and it fell on the floor and when I bent all the way over my SO was sitting behind me and started dying laughing. When I asked what was so funny he said at that angle when I bent over it looked like I was shitting out a titty... Any other time I would have laughed hysterically but all I could do was cry lol.
My toddler likes to throw temper tantrums in public but I don't want to spank her in front of people because I'm sure they'll judge me, as if they aren't already
I still have rough sex
I drink soda all the time
I'm terrified my LO will look or act like my SO
I plan on doing anything possible to induce myself around 37 weeks.. Maybe sooner
I've had a few times during this pregnancy when I thought to myself "I should have just givin him head"
Don't judge me

The Show With No Name was the first to bring you the sad news today. Yes, I'm sorry to say Don Cornelius is dead. But that's not it. Well it is but it ain't. Dorial Green-Beckham, the No. 1 overall rated recruit in the country according to Rivals, has committed to Missouri, announcing the news on National Signing Day 2012. Green-Beckham, who played for Hillcrest High School in Springfield, Missouri, chose the Tigers over Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama. Razorback fans across the state are finding it hard to breath while their crying. In all fairness that is tough though. If I knew as much about football as most I may be upset too. Lets face it. The kid wanted to stay home. How else could you explain turning down schools like Alabama. OK don't get your under garments twisted in a knot. Then you really would have trouble breathing. But, Arkansas is no Alabama. That's all I'm saying as I bleed my Razorback blood. We had the DGB feed on the show. I've said it before and I'll say it again. How about we set up microphones when some of our youth make the decision to attend the military out of high school? I love football like the next Hog but, a kid that decides to join the United States Armed Forces should be given more cheers and gratitude by us all than one that is playing sports. Really? Yea I said it. I know I will be criticized and talked down to for my statement but on this one I will take all you got. Say it with me........GOOOOOOOOOO AMERICA!!!
'Wild Man' Steve Wilson and James Manatt were all about the upcoming Crownanza. No, that's a real thing. Did ya know that over cooked Crow taste like burnt popcorn? I like burnt popcorn so what does that say about me.
Matt Couch brought his sense of humor and respectability (hahahahahahahahahahahah) to the show this morning. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I think there will be a press conference announcing Matt Couch as the new Director of Promotions later this month. It will not be carried on ESPNU, ESPN, ESPN2, The Ocho or any TV station. As a matter of fact, if the Buzz does carry the announcement it will be between 3 and 3:01 am. I'm just not sure what day. A game of Match Game was played too. All winners all the time on The Buzz!
We did get KATV anchorreporterlady, Beth Hunt on the phone. She did confirm she will be joining The Buzz Friday morning for The Make-A-Wish fundraiser.
Oh I almost forgot. Thank you Krazy Mike. MMMMMMMMMMM!
Back in the studio for a Thursday. I believe Mexico Chiquito! again I say......MMMMMMMMMM!
Remember you don't have to buy a new car to be treated like you did. Fletcher Dodge has a wide selection of cars to fit every budget. Just for stopping by and talking with the Fletcher guys you get dinner for two at Benihana Japanese Steakhouse.
Check out THIS WEEKS deals. 2009 Toyota Carolla Sport, 34 mpg, 45k miles, only $14888.
Or this 2011 Kia Forte 2 door Coupe, brilliant red, great gas mileage, just $16997
Check everywhere you want but, check with Fletcher Dodge Chrysler Jeep in Sherwood before you make your final decision. You will be glad you did.
Thanks for listening and making The Buzz 103.7 your #1 station. Join The Show With No Name from 6am-10am Mon-Fri with Tommy Smith, David Bazzel, RJ Hawk, and myself.

text: One of the two quests the Qaliathari diplomacy trainer offers leads to a quest called "What is truly being worshipped?" that appears to be bugged for some. The quest requires you to speak to three of the priests in the Temple of Sea and Sand in Khal and convince them to stop taking bribes. After accepting the quest I try to speak to them but the only option available is civic diplomacy. I've spoken to two people and one of them cleared it fine and the other was having the same problem as me. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found some way past it?

A First: World Bank Ends Debarment Early, Citing Good Compliance
The World Bank's anti-fraud unit has removed German engineering firm Lahmeyer International GmbH from its blacklist two years early, citing improvements in the company's compliance.
The move marked the first time the World Bank cut short a suspension since overhauling its sanctions program in 2010 to include rewards for companies that move quickly to fortify their compliance systems after being debarred for fraud or corruption.
"With this decision Lahmeyer International is fully eligible to be awarded bank-financed contracts," the company said in a statement.
In 2006, the World Bank suspended Lahmeyer from bidding on bank contracts for a period of seven years, after investigators found the company paid bribes to an official at the Lesotho Highlands Development Authority, a multi-billion-dollar water transfer and hydropower project by the governments of Lesotho and South Africa. Portions of the project were bank-financed.
A Lesotho court convicted Masupha Sole, the authority's chief executive, of bribery in 2002. Lahmeyer was convicted of bribery the following year. After an appeals court upheld the convictions in 2003 and 2004, the World Bank's integrity unit began its sanctions proceedings.
The World Bank opted to reinstate Lahmeyer early because it "satisfactorily adopted and implemented to date its compliance management system," the bank said in a statement.
"Going forward the establishment — or improvement — and implementation of an integrity compliance program satisfactory to the Bank Group will be a principal condition to ending a conditional debarment," said Leonard McCarthy, the vice president of the bank's anti-fraud unit, in a statement.

We sat down at WOBI's midtown offices for an interview with Dan Leidl co– author of team turnarounds. Dan is a Co-founder and partner of Meno Consulting with Co-author Joe Frontiera. Both hold Ph.D.'s in Sports Psychology. Meno's mission is driven by four beliefs; leaders grow by expanding awareness, a team's development is driven by its leader, everyone wants to achieve and sports can teach us profound lessons.
What led you to write a book on turnarounds?
This book is advanced from my partner'swriting partner Joe Frontiera's dissertation. He did his doctoral work on turnarounds and he had interviewed a number of GM's and owners of professional sports franchises. We expanded it beyond sports and really worked to make it more universal.
What was the most surprising thing you found in researching and writing the book?
I think the most surprising thing for me was the reality that there is a level of universality in this. Based on Joe's dissertation and his previous research we were aware that there was a universal developmental process to how organizations shift and the natural ebb and flow of success and struggle. It was somewhat shocking how consistent these narratives were.
What are the six steps necessary to create a turnaround?
The first one is leading through losing and that's about taking a step back and recognizing that you are not where you want to be.
The second one is planning for where you really want to go - establishing your vision and identifying goals.
The third one is when you're turning the organization around you really have to impact the individuals involved in the team and focus on behavior change.
Fourth, you really have to be comfortable with struggle. That was important enough to make explicit.
Fifth I think there's a lot to be said about embracing success and defining success because that's something that's fleeting.
Then it's finally maintaining the culture of excellence. This is hard and is something that has to be woven into the fabric of the group regardless of who the players are.
How do you know if a team is not functioning to capacity? If you're a sports team it's obvious, but what about companies?
One of the reasons that I gravitate towards the sports metaphors is because it's black and white. They won so they're doing something right, but underlining and scratching away the surface, I know teams that have won national championships and the minute the whistle blows someone is yelling at someone else. If you get to the point where you ask yourself is this working … it's probably not.
When you see that happening, do you need to exorcise it?
I think you need to take steps to improve the situation. You need to address it. It has to be made explicit and efforts have to be made to understand it and deal with it. You have to bring people in and ask them where they stand on issues, where they feel excited. You have to exorcise it, but it's how you exorcise it that offers options.
How do you improve morale when teams are losing?
The first step is to remind them that they are better than what they're doing. That's a gutsy play. In doing that you're telling them that they're not operating well enough, but that's also an inspiring play. You need someone to step in there and say hey for as much as you stunk, you have it in you to be great. And, if you don't want to be great that's fine, we'll get you set up with another organization, or move you on but we need people who believe they can be winners.
Is there a standard amount of time necessary to turn an organization around?
I don't think there is standard amount of time. I have a developmental background so this is something that I'm interested in. When you look at guidelines for development you find that there are windows of development but the time is not critical. One child might be talking at two whereas another child could be talking at three, the one who starts talking at three may go on to be a great orator. A lot of these turnarounds started to kick in early, and then they have to reevaluate their goals and keep pushing.
How can you nurture and maintain a culture of success?
That's the million dollar question. We have to constantly be reminded of why we're there, what we accomplished in the past and what we want to accomplish moving forward. One of the takeaways from Howard Schultz's book Onward is how pervasive his efforts were. That's how you maintain a good culture – you're constantly thinking what can we do in our daily efforts to tie into the larger cause.
Do leaders have to be at the top to initiate change?
No, not at all, but it helps. Bill Poll was with the Indianapolis Colts when he said every member of our team is critical. They get it and understand that this leadership question includes the guy who is scrubbing the locker room. You need him. A lot of people will look at the position and say that it's not important. That's a big mistake.
How can you use challenges to empower a team?
It might make sense that you need a challenge to empower the team. In terms of turnarounds versus crisis – it's a critical chapter in the book. Patrick Doyle, the CEO of Dominos and his leadership team talk explicitly about how they created a dynamic around when they decided to come up with a new pizza. They made it very public and that was very calculated. Their belief was that if we make this public we burn a bridge and there's no going back.
How do you keep a team together when it's failing?
First of all you have to make sure you have the right parts and that's critical. You ask people and they'll tell you flat out, I'm not on board. I don't want to work the extra hours a day and they'll often just write their own ticket out. They'll be frank when asked the right questions. Keeping the team together is about having the right team.

By Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
SYDNEY, Australia (CNS) – World Youth Day officially kicked off July 15 with an opening Mass celebrated by Sydney Cardinal George Pell before an estimated 140,000 people.
Before the Mass, as the pilgrims gathered on the old docklands at Barangaroo, they heard testimonies of faith experiences at previous World Youth Days, watched dancing by a variety of Aboriginal Australian and South Pacific islander groups and cheered a procession of 160 national flags.
While the official welcoming dances were taking place onstage, a group of six young men from Papua New Guinea offered their own choreographed blessing to the four directions of the compass from the place they found to stand in front of the estimated 4,000 concelebrating priests.
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd welcomed the pilgrims in a dozen languages, ending by saying that he would speak in Australian, "Gday and have a great time Down Under."
The Mass combined ancient chants, standard hymns, native singing and the anthem written specifically for World Youth Day, "Receive the Power." Women from Australias Tiwi Islands sang as the Book of the Gospels was presented.
In his homily, Cardinal Pell encouraged the young people to use the July 15-20 celebration as a time not simply to celebrate their faith with peers from around the world, but to strengthen their commitment to Christ and to open further their hearts and minds to Gods will for their lives.
He also spoke to those who may not be practicing Catholics or have any connection to any religion: "Christ is calling you home to love, healing and community."
"Secular wisdom claims that leopards do not change their spots, but we Christians believe in the power of the spirit to convert and change persons away from evil to good, from fear and uncertainty to faith and hope," he said.
Even those who believe and who practice their faith need to do more, Cardinal Pell said.
"Our task is to be open to the power of the spirit, to allow the God of surprises to act through us," he said.
Too many times, Christians profess and practice their faith, but they try to do it very comfortably and without taking risks, he said.
"Following Christ is not cost-free, not always easy, because it requires struggling against what St. Paul calls 'the flesh,' our fat relentless egos, old-fashioned selfishness. It is always a battle, even for old people like me," the 67-year-old cardinal said.
"Dont spend your life sitting on the fence," Cardinal Pell told them, "because only commitments bring fulfillment."
The cardinal also prayed that everyone who had come to Australia for World Youth Day would be blessed and glad they came "despite the cost, hassles and distances traveled."

Breast Cancer Health Center
Longer HRT Use May Raise Breast Cancer Risk
Aug. 10, 2010 -- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and breast cancer risk have been long studied, and now a new analysis finds higher risks for normal-weight women and those on combination estrogen/progestin therapy.
While many studies have looked at the link, the new research sheds some new light on the topic, says researcher Tanmai Saxena, an MD/PHD student at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine in Los Angeles.
"The study further develops which women are at particular risk with HRT," he tells WebMD. Among his findings: "There is a risk associated with long-term HRT, both estrogen and combination [therapy]. As it turns out, the women who are thinner at menopause when they go on HRT have a higher risk of breast cancer."
The new analysis included 2,857 women participants in the California Teachers Study, all diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and followed on average for about 10 years.
The study is published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
HRT and Breast Cancer Risk: Study Details
Saxena and his colleagues looked at the type of hormone therapy used -- estrogen alone or combined with progestin -- and for how long; the researchers took into account the women's body mass index (BMI) and other factors.
When the researchers compared women who had never used hormone therapy to those who reported 15 or more years of estrogen therapy, the estrogen users had a 19% greater breast cancer risk.
Those who used combination therapy for 15 or more years fared worse, with an 83% increased breast cancer risk.
Why so high for the combination therapy? Progestin signals breast tissue to divide, Saxena says, and rapid cell replication boosts the risk of getting cancer.
Body mass index played in to the degree of risk, Saxena found. Women with a BMI of 30 or above, considered obese, did not have an elevated breast cancer risk with increased duration of hormone use, but those with BMI below 29.9 did. However, Saxena points out, obesity alone is a risk factor for breast cancer.
The increased risks found with hormone therapy were confined to specific types of breast cancer tumors -- those positive for both estrogen and progesterone and HER2-positive.

Paul Sinha
Paul Sinha is a qualified GP and international stand up comic of many years standing, having performed in all major comedy clubs in the UK, as well as China, Auckland, Singapore, the Middle East, South Africa, Netherlands and Germany.
Paul's second full length solo show 'Saint or Sinha' received widespread critical acclaim at the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and was nominated for the if.comedy award (formerly the Perrier).
Since then Paul has been in great demand, whether on TV shows such as Edinburgh and Beyond, World Stands up, Comedy Shuffle and Comedy Cuts, on Radio 4's Loose Ends and the Now Show, or his numerous contributions to Radio 5 Live and Talksport, as well as having recorded for Shane Warne's Ashes podcasts.
'Wonderfully inventive and intelligent' (Evening Standard)
'One-liners are delivered with the crisp clarity of cut glass. Highly original' (Metro)
'Universal anecdotes as warmly delivered as you would find anywhere... it's a
pleasure listening to him... Opinionated, witty and smart – Sinha is the certainly one of the comics Fringe goers should be flocking to' (Chortle)
'His confidence on stage was excellent and his talent for adlibbing and summoning gags off the cuff were very funny' (BBC Online).
Paul Sinha tour dates
Alistair Barrie
Much in demand as an act, Alistair Barrie has forged a reputation for himself as one of the top comperes to emerge in recent years. His deceptively friendly and engaging stage presence masks a sharp, dry wit which can be turned to subjects as diverse as suicide bombers in the Middle East to the perils of flying EasyJet.
Despite a fondness for topical material, any performance is likely to be peppered with some inspired silliness and a little audience-related improvisation.
'Eloquent, slick and dynamic' (http://www.Chortle.co.uk)
'One of the circuit's classiest stand ups' (London is Funny)
'Smart, slick and truly funny. Don't take my word for it, check him out yourself' (Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke)
'Barrie has a casually sardonic sense of humour and is sharp as a guillotine blade. Woe betide the bloody fool who tries to heckle him' (Cape Town Argus).
Alistair Barrie tour dates
Mark Dolan
The presenter of Channel 4's 'Balls Of Steel' also performs as a witty stand-up and compere.
'Consistently funny' (Independent)
'Excellent material' (Three Weeks)
'So funny - Dolan is a master of improvisation and audience interaction - definitely not one to miss' (Festmag)
'The audience are left gasping for breath, such is the laughter in the room' (Sunday Express)
'Fantastic' (Metro)
'Awesome!' (Broadway Baby).
Mark Dolan tour dates
Nat Luurtsema
'Nat Luurtsema is definitely an original thinker. Her inventive, witty routines demonstrate a wonderfully warped logic, taken to the limits of imagination' - Chortle.
Nat Luurtsema tour dates
Darren Walsh
Combining sound effects, one-liners and silly drawings, Darren Walsh's silly happy-go-lucky style has been compared to Harry Hill, with an act that combines surreal nonsense and snippets of daft songs.
Dave's Joke of the Fringe winner 2015
'The most pun you can have with your clothes on' (The Daily Mirror)
'One to watch' (Time Out)
'Multi Joke Of The Fringe award winner: A real crowd pleaser' (Chortle)
'He is a genial presence, not manic like Tim Vine, not wonderfully nerdy like Gary
Delaney and not deadpan like Jimmy Carr, but very much his own mirthmaker' (The Scotsman)

Yes, Cable Companies Suck, But Don't Pull a Gun on Their Employees
It's no secret that dealing with cable companies is only slightly less miserable than dragging yourself naked through the fires of Mordor. But there are ways of handling the irritating things big corporations do to you. Pulling a gun on a cable worker is not one of those ways.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
by Dr. Seuss
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Illustrations
How It All Goes Down
Real Talk: did you realize that in these illustrations, the Grinch is NOT green?
The dude is green. He's always been green, hasn't he?
It turns out, that's not so. In fact, it wasn't until the 1966 cartoon that the Grinch became green, and after that, the color just kind of stuck (source).
The illustrations in How the Grinch Stole Christmas! are simple black and white drawings with a hint of red here and there—just enough to bring out some of the props and decorations, and remind us that were dealing with a book in which Christmas is front and center.
And that's it. No green, no purple, no tinsley silver.
Color Me Colorless
In How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, Seuss really pares down his use of color and uses just one to support the story of the Grinch—the color red.
We know. We expected to see a green Grinch too!
But the use of red helps to bring a pop to certain details in the story, such as the Grinch's Santy Claus suit (see the "Symbols" section for more on this particular piece of clothing) and the great big red bag filled with all the things he stole.
It's also worth noting that the color red coincides with all the things that the Grinch thinks make up Christmas—the Santa suit, the gifts, the decorations on the tree. Because red is associated with the holiday, the Grinch sees it in a shallow, materialistic way and mistakes those things and colors as Christmas itself.
Plus, not to point out the obvious or anything, but red = anger. And guess who's angry in this story? That's right, in the beginning, when he's wreaking havoc on the Whos, the Grinch's eyes are always tinged with red. Creepy, right?
However, when it becomes clear that the holiday is more than the superficial objects or color red, his eyes stick shut and his expression grows compassionate. In other words, he no longer looks like this guy.
The Grinch's Grin (And Other Expressions)
Oh that nasty, wasty Grinch. He's always stirring up trouble with that sly, up to no good grin on his face, isn't he?
One of the joys of flipping through the pages of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is in taking note of how much time Seuss spent working on the Grinch's many facial expressions. From the creepy villain grin (which he's perfected), to an affronted frown, the Grinch is certainly one to wear his shriveled up heart on his sleeve.
Seuss often plays with the expressions on his characters' faces, but in the case of the Grinch, he really goes above and beyond, showing us every frown line, furrowed brow, every tuft of hair out of place.
Why all the effort? Well, the entire story revolves around the Grinch and his inner state, so it makes sense that Seuss would focus on the Grinch's outward displays of emotion when sketching the character.
As the Grinch broods, plots, pouts and schemes, we see each frown and smirk that betrays what he is feeling inside. At the beginning, he's all frowns as he leans against a rock, sneering down at Who-ville. However, once he starts sneaking into the Whos' homes, his expression remains one of mean satisfaction. He's smiling, but it's not a nice smile at all. He departs from this for just a second when Cindy-Lou Who catches him in her house; suddenly, the Grinch is all fluttery eyelashes and a sweet smile. But right afterwards, he is back to that devious, Grinchy grin.
It is only when we get to the end—where he reaches his Christmas epiphany and changes his mind about the holidays—that that grin doesn't look so creepy anymore.

Google has just updated their terms of service allowing them to use your Google profile information in their ads. Which is worrying, because who really reads terms and conditions?
The scheme is called "Shared Endorsements" and Google describes it as follows:
To ensure that your recommendations reach the people you care about, Google sometimes displays your reviews, recommendations and other relevant activity throughout its products and services. This sometimes includes shopping contexts, like the Google Play music store, and ads. Your profile name and photo may appear with the recommendation.
For example, if you search for "Italian restaurants", you might see an ad for a nearby restaurant along with your friend's favorable review. Or, in Google Play, you might see that another friend has +1'd a new song or album.
But what Google fails to realise is that perhaps you don't want your "friends" to know that you have +1'd a new song or album. They are going to use your information and your opinions without your permission – unless you opt out.
Yes, that's right. There is a way to opt out of "Shared Endorsements". Simply go to this link and scroll down to the bottom of the page. Then uncheck this box and click "Save". Then you're out.
And in future, maybe all of us need to consider the possibility of actually reading terms and conditions.
Google thinks my photo will help sell product? How stupid can they get? http://t.co/EdFDdZFx4u

Lawyers' Quest: Find 12 Jurors For Madoff Trial
By Christopher M. Matthews
Picking a jury for the criminal trial of five former employees of Bernard L. Madoff was never expected to be easy.
The stunning tale of how the secretive broker swindled investors and evaded regulators for decades is now common knowledge.
Indeed, more than 100 of the prospective jurors said they believed anyone who worked with Mr. Madoff must be guilty, according to the defense lawyers for the five former employees who face criminal charges for allegedly helping him carry out the Ponzi scheme.
All five have pleaded not guilty and say like everyone else, they were duped by the now-convicted felon serving a 150-year prison term. The defendants plan to argue they were ignorant of Mr. Madoff's scheme and were fooled by the power of his personality, as much as his investors were.

Not for warm weather climates.
By Secure Man
from Dayton, NV
About Me Professional
We purchased this rope to secure tents/awnings. It might work well in cooler weather, but in temperatures around 80-100 degrees it continues to stretch. I am always needing to retighten it. I use hitches instead of knots to secure the ends. Sisal or hemp rope is much better in the heat.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

glows in the dark, with uv led...
By terran
from san antonio, tx
Best Uses
Picked up 2 of these, neither one glows noticeably in the dark for more than 15 minutes. If you add a uv led aimed along it, it would probably make a decent tent or stake line. That being said, it also frays a little quicker than the regular 1/4" poly rope, I suspect it doesn't contain any uv inhibitors. Not the best, not the worst, but be forewarned, if you expect this thing to glow noticeably for 5 hours, you may not get your money's worth.I have some UV leds, so I expect it to work fine for camping and other odd jobs that require a high visibility rope. I don't expect it to last more than a couple of months, and I would not recommend it as anything other than a uv reactive marker line.

|Mild myopia do not wear glasses?
Many parents believe that children had mild myopia can not be better not to wear glasses for fear that the cycle can not afford to wear a prison. In fact, after suffering from myopia to wear glasses, in addition to the correction of refractive clear depending on the material, another important function, that is causing the eye to prevent the collection of functional regulation and loss of balance. Thus, after suffering from myopia, even if you are slightly below the 300 degrees of myopia, as long as the eye has affected the balance of regulation and collection, in particular, that there is a latent squint condition, must wear glasses to avoid regulation and collection of further lose balance, the healthy development of the eye over time have a negative impact.
There are many parents that wearing glasses is easy to enhance the degree of myopia, it is better without glasses. This is actually a misunderstanding. If the pseudo-myopia, but also through the eyes of the regulator to relax, to return to normal. The true myopia, correction of the current best and safest way is to wear the right glasses, so as not to have yet to develop a good eye to bring adverse effects.

Molecular investigation of a gene encoding solvent-tolerant alkaline protease from pseudomonas aeruginosa K.
Raja Abdul Rahman , Raja Noor Zaliha and Lee, Poh Geok and Chee, Fah Wong and Basri, Mahiran (2010) Molecular investigation of a gene encoding solvent-tolerant alkaline protease from pseudomonas aeruginosa K. Journal of Basic Microbiology, 50 . pp. 143-149. ISSN 0233-111X
A gene encoding an organic solvent-stable protease was amplified from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain K by polymerase chain reaction using consensus primers based on multiple sequence alignment of alkaline and metalloprotease genes from Pseudomonas species. The gene, which consisted of 1440 bp nucleotides and deduced 479 amino acid residues, was successfully expressed in pGEX-4T-1 expression system in the presence of 1.0 mM IPTG, after an incubation of 6 h at 37 degrees C. Under these conditions, the recombinant strain K protease was, subsequently, released into the periplasm of E. coli BL21 (DE3) with an optimum proteolytic activity detected at 1.0112 U/ml. To date, this is the first reported expression of alkaline protease (aprA) with such remarkable property in Escherichia coli.

I have been using BENT software for about five years now and have been
extremely happy with the performance and reliability of the software. This
is why when IDR came out I thought I'd give it a try.
I have come to the conclusion that IDR is a waste of time. After a week of
testing I finally was able to restore my server(in a test environment). I'm
not confident that this process will work when a real disaster strikes. I
have found the best way to restore after a disaster is to Ghost the Machine.
When a disaster strikes restore the ghost image and restore data form full
backup. I can have a server back up in less than an hour(depending on the
amount of data). There are some maintenance tasks required such as
re-ghosting when major software and/or OS changes occur. But overall this
process I feel works the best.

Passenger Service Bots
I wasn't quite sure how to go about designing the robots roaming around the spaceport. Eventually I figured that since the planet is being abandoned by all non-natives and the flights off P57-Exodus are getting less frequent, the crew in the terminal would have to be down to the bare minimum to keep the venture financially sustainable. After all, InterStarline being a private company, its executives wouldn't lose a night's sleep over shutting down activity here if money wasn't to be made anymore. The technical crew remains sentient, no matter what the circumstances. Poorly programmed robots have already displayed their aptitude for disaster earlier in this story (see Confrontation). In the world of Captain Wayne, robots are not designed to replace sentient beings of any race. They are purely designed to assist and carry out simple task or be consulted for information.
A few doodles later and I opted for the simplest of shapes for the bot we met in last Thursday's comic. The final design has many hidden meanings but I will let your own imagination loose on this one. Let's just say that its appearance reflects its personality. It's sole purpose is to roam around the building and provide passengers with information relative to their trip. Their role is limited, which is why, in the heyday of Exopolis, the spaceport relied on a security crew for handling any "out of hand" situation. Nowadays, the spaceport relies on the Captains to deal with any sizeable trouble.
We'll hopefully see more robots in this adventure, I can't seem to get tired of drawing them. A little bit like spaceships, and flying cars and all that kind of stuff! I can guarantee you that we will be seeing lots of those too, sooner that later! But first, at little bit of quiet before the storm!
Thank you for tuning in and I'd really appreciate it if you'd share my comic and blog with anyone you know who might be interested! See you in a few days, as we find out what "the couple" is up to!

Fight Cancer by Watching Basketball
College of the Ozarks Bobcat men and women will be racking up the points January 29 on their home scoreboard while collecting money in the stands. The teams are joining Skaggs Foundation to raise money and awareness for the fight against cancer. Annually, this program raises more than $1,000.
"The money raised at the basketball games benefits patients at CoxHealth Cancer Center in Branson," explains Rodney Arnold, Skaggs Foundation President. "Many times patients need assistance paying for their cancer treatment because they either don't have insurance or are under-insured. Fundraisers such as this provide scholarship money to help pay for that life-saving treatment."
As part of the campaign, the College of the Ozarks Bobcat women will wear pink shirts and the men coaches are leaving the dress shoes at home and will sport tennis shoes at the game.
During half-time of each game, any donation of at least $30 will receive a free cancer awareness shirt. Be sure to wear pink! Free admission will be given to fans wearing pink and to cancer survivors who identify themselves at the front entrance. After the girls game, breast cancer survivors in the audience will be invited to center court and presented pink shirts.
Game times
College of the Ozarks Bobcat Women vs. Oklahoma Wesleyan University Eagles at 5:30 p.m.

Can Japanese Companies Survive?
Faced with a shrinking population and low growth prospects at home, many Japanese companies are talking about turning themselves into "global companies."
But the ones already operating worldwide, especially Japan's flagship auto and electronics makers, are locked in a fierce battle with powerful Asian rivals, particularly from South Korea. The yen's strength is surely making things even tougher.
There's a lot of anxiety about the future. And you can see it more clearly in a recent survey of business professionals in Japan, in which 44% of the respondents doubted Japanese companies will be able to survive the global competition. This included 10% who simply think Japanese companies won't have a chance, and 34% who are "concerned" that Japanese companies won't survive. And another 29% said they aren't sure and can't decide. Only 26% were optimistic about Japan's future.
BizReach Inc., operator of a job placement Web site for business people with annual incomes of at least 7.5 million yen, conducted the survey last month among registered site members, and 1,588 of them responded.
But there are, of course, all kinds of Japanese companies. So which ones are the most likely to rise above overseas rivals and thrive in the global market?
The top 10 Japanese companies with the best prospects for prevailing in the future competition, according to the survey, are, from the top, Toyota Motor Corp., Sony Corp, Fast Retailing Co., Softbank Corp., Panasonic Corp., Rakuten Inc., Honda Motor Co., Nidec Corp., Nissan Motor Co. and Nintendo Co.
The names on the top 10 list include long-established auto and electronics players as well as more up-and-coming companies with global ambitions, namely Fast Retailing, which operates Uniqlo clothing stores, mobile and Internet service firm Softbank – home of the iPhone in Japan — and electronic commerce firm Rakuten, which are all led by chief executives who are among Japan's most internationally-minded business leaders. Those three firms are also known for using more English in their internal communication, with Rakuten even going as far as to declare English its future official language.
"Personally, I think it would be more exciting to work for those up-and-coming ones," rather than the big auto and technology giants whose battles are aimed partly at holding onto what they already have, said BizReach Chief Executive Soichiro Minami.
In any case, one thing is clear, says Mr. Minami. Whether they like it or not, Japanese companies no longer have the option of being domestically-minded. "It's obvious that major growth opportunities are all overseas."
