I can recommend using Heidelberg Agency for your stay in Rio de Janeiro. Great location, fast responce.
Lovely apartment, clean and well maintained. Only comment we have is that the bed was a bit on the small side but that did not spoil the fun. Too bad it was just that we had made an appointment check out and that the person did not show up to the office and we had to get someone to the apartment to be sent to still be able to check out so we almost missed our plane would.
Heerlijk appartement, schoon en goed onderhouden. Enige opmerking die wij hebben is dat het bed wat aan de kleine kant was maar dat mocht de pret niet drukken. Jammer was alleen dat we een uit check afspraak hadden gemaakt en dat degene niet kwam opdagen en wij naar het kantoor moesten om iemand naar het apartement te laten sturen om alsnog te kunnen uit checken waardoor we bijna ons vliegtuig zouden missen.
Very nice location, area very well but very noisy as everywhere in Rio. Very bad bedding (change) Too bad the room is on the street. Cleaning is poor.
Très bel emplacement, quartier très bien mais rue très bruyante comme partout à Rio. Très mauvaise literie (à changer) Dommage que la chambre soit côté rue. Nettoyage laisse à désirer.
Very nice apartment, well located, with an amazing balcony facing the beach and the ocean.
The apartment is very well furnished.
As described it is a very small apartment but location and price was great!! If you plan on spending a lot of your days in the apartment then find a bigger one. Wifi and TV were good. Kitchen consists of sink, 2 burners, fridge, table chairs, microwave. I reported that toaster did not work. Small bathroom. Recommended for 2-4 persons. Sleeps 6 but sofa bed was not very comfortable. I would stay there again.
Host heiderberg was a good host very helpful,they helped us with lot of information,but one think apartment is very basic/dirty and that should let the customer know,
We found the location of the apartment very good. However lacked a bit of attention in the question realacionamento. For example, two pillows was missing and we had the answer that would deliver on Saturday morning, but was not delivered nor justified. A lack of attention to the guest in our understanding. In more hospedegem was very good.
Achamos a localização do apartamento muito boa. Contudo faltou um pouco de atenção no quesito realacionamento. Por exemplo, estava faltando dois travesseiros e tivemos a resposta de que entregariam no sábado pela manhã, contudo não foi entregue e nem justificado. Uma falta de atenção com o hóspede no nosso entendimento. No mais a hospedegem foi muito boa.
In July 2012, I have over Heidelberg one of their apartments rented. Well organized, excellent service and ditto apartment. A must for the Rio de Janeiro goer ....
In juli 2012 heb ik via Heidelberg 1 van hun appartementen gehuurd. Prima geregeld, prima service en dito appartement. Een aanrader voor de Rio de Janeiro ganger....
zweckmäßige Wohnung in guter Lage.
+ Lage
+ Aussicht
- generell verwohnte Möbel
- sehr laute, kaum kühlende Klimaanlage (nur in einem Zimmer vorhanden)
- teilweise angeschimmelte Matratzen
- langsame Internetverbindung
- über Agencia Heidelberg gebuchter Rücktransport zum Flughafen ist nicht erschienen (Rückerstattung des Geldes erfolgte erst nach wiederholter Aufforderung!)
El departamento es muy comodo y amplio, ademas de bien ubicado. El unico problema es que cuando lo alquilamos en la descripcion y fotos decia terraza de 100m2 y ahora no se puede acceder. Desde la inmobiliaria nos dijeron que era problema de Windu, pero son ellos los que actualizan la pagina. Deberiamos haber sido notificados y se nos deberian haber dado otras opciones en vez de no hacer nada y excusarse. Mas alla de eso, el departamento bien.
- Quality assured accommodation

It was a packed house at the Museum of Florida History and although many friends and family couldn't get a seat inside, there were plenty of cameras on hand to capture the special graduation.
In a speech to the proud class of graduates, Victoria Zepp, the Life Skills Center Co-founder said, "You fought to get where you are today and you had a lot of support along the way or possible limited support--don't forget that."
For the students of the Life Skills Center Leon County, some earned high school diplomas with more weight to carry than other high school students. "It wasn't easy, you know, day care and finding a way was hard, but you know with my principals and my teachers, they stood behind me--made sure I got to school--and that's what really helps, when you have support like that." said Jessica Harding, a Life Skills Center Graduate.
Each student has a unique trial they overcame and the Life Skills Center says it helps by allowing them to work at their own pace in academics, life preparation, and even work place training. In the end--some find that their experience is almost too hard to describe in words. Many of tonight's WED. 6/3 graduates say the Life Skills Center has prepared them to move on to college.

Here's a question that is asked by a LOT of people new to hypnosis.
As a hypnotist how do you know someone is hypnotized?
It's a good question on several levels.
The preconception some people have about hypnosis is that if hypnotized they will lose complete awareness and hear and remember nothing of the hypnosis session. This is usually a result of watching hypnosis shows on TV.
Many people associate hypnosis with sleep because the hypnotized person usually is unmoving and have their eyes closed so it looks like sleep.
Another reason people think of hypnosis as sleep is because most hypnotists use the word "sleep" as a trigger word to induce hypnosis. So, by default, most observers will simply say the hypnotized person looked asleep.
Some people are so convinced that hypnotized people are "faking it" because they don't understand what's truly taking place during hypnosis.
As a hypnotist there are a lot of ways to tell if someone is in hypnosis. Here is my list that I use to determine who is responding well to my instruction and who is responding REALLY WELL.
- They follow instruction in hypnosis. That is the most overt sign of hypnosis. There is a point just before the hypnosis session begin where our students are are told to say "All you have to do is follow my instructions EXACTLY…." if they follow that instruction, they are in hypnosis. So if you say "Your hand is stuck to the table." they may realize that they could move their hand but don't or decide not to, or they simply can't move it. It doesn't matter if they think they can move their hand, as long as they are following the instruction THEY ARE HYPNOTIZED.
- Economy of Motion. You'll notice that the hypnotized person doesn't move much, in fact they stay almost perfectly still unless asked to move. All their movements are minimal. Even a head nod may seem so faint that it may go unrecognized by someone who is inexperienced. For me that is one of the best and most visible determiners that someone is hypnotized because in order for most people to fake it they have to go into hypnosis. Another example of economy of motion would be when you instruct a hypnotized person to look at their hand. They may not lift or move their hand unlike an un-hypnotized person. They focus will also be completely on the hand, not looking away. The blink rate of the eyes will slow or halt altogether.
- Literal Execution of Instructions. In normal conversation when saying "I don't know your first name." the typical response would be to give them your first name. In hypnosis the the statement is not likely to be interpreted as a request and any response at all is unlikely. Only when the hypnotist says "Tell me your first name" is the answer given. In hypnosis the subject will best respond to instructions that are short, simple and unambiguous.
- The Hypnotic Mask. If you look a persons face who is deeply hypnotized there is almost no tension in the face. The only exception to that is the eyebrow may be scrunched together as if concentrating. Why? Because part of the instructions given is to "concentrate ONLY on my voice…" and that demands concentration.
- Overt tests. There are plenty of tests to make sure a person is hypnotized. The overt test are instructions that are used to demonstrate hypnotic phenomena like amnesia and catalepsy, etc.. There are some overt tests of hypnosis that would be VERY hard to fake specifically anesthesia. Immersion of an arm in ice cold water will create intense pain with minimal harm but it could be faked. Immersion of the whole person in the same water would be very difficult to fake because the unconscious response of shivering would begin almost instantly. In fact, this test was used by Derren Brown to help him select the right person to train as a hypnotic assassin.
- Covert tests. These are tests which the the subject doesn't know is taking place. The simplest examples is during the induction when the hypnotist says "From this point on every breath takes you deeper … and the deeper you go the better you feel and the better you feel the deeper you go." When the subject is hypnotized you'll notice that their breathing changes because they are focusing more on it as you mentioned it.
For most new hypnotists learning these signs of hypnosis happen by experience. Both Jeff Stephens and I are working on regular hypnosis trainings where you will learn AND WITNESS these subtle distinctions of hypnosis.

Europe's Morning MoneyBeat: Sense Of Calm Returns at Last
Good Morning Europe
The mainboards are forecast to open modestly higher Wednesday as a sense of calm finally imbues the markets.
U.S. stocks managed to rally on strong economic data in their session, rather than recoiling on concerns that stronger numbers will lead to a reduction in the Federal Reserve's asset buying. Durable goods orders, new-home sales and consumer confidence all impressed. Meanwhile fears of a Chinese credit crunch were soothed at least to some extent by assurances from China's central bank that it would offer funds to banks if they need them.
The economic data slate is thinly covered in Europe, so the final reading of U.S. GDP growth for the first quarter will have the limelight to itself.
Capital Spreads is calling the FTSE 100 and DAX up six points apiece at the open, with the CAC up ten.

text: Both T 160/92 (OJ 1995, 35) and T 428/98 (OJ 2001, 494) concerned information provided by EPO employees by telephone. In T 160/92 the board did not deny that the principle of legitimate expectations should govern all the actions of EPO employees towards parties to the proceedings, including telephone conversations which were not provided for in the Convention and did not, as such, form part of the formal procedure before the EPO. However, since telephone conversations did not form part of the said formal procedure, the board did not consider it necessary to conduct a detailed investigation seeking to clear up what had been said in the relevant telephone conversations, the sequence of procedurally relevant facts having been clearly established in the file. In T 428/98 (OJ 2001, 494) the board held that an appellant might rely on information which the board's registrar could be proved to have provided by telephone concerning the method for calculating a time limit the appellant had to observe before the board if the point of law on which that information was based had at that time not yet been clarified in the case law of the boards of appeal.

Character Role Analysis
Orgon and the King
Just listen to what people say about these guys (in the King's case, we can only really judge him by what we're told).
Yes, but her son [Orgon] is even worse deceived;
His folly must be seen to be believed.
In the late troubles, he played an able part
And served his king with wise and loyal heart,
But he's quite lost his senses since he fell
Beneath Tartuffe's infatuating spell.
The Officer:
We serve a Prince[the King] to whom all sham is hateful,
A Prince who sees into our inmost hearts,
And can't be fooled by any trickster's arts. (5.7.18-19)
When it comes down to it, both Orgon and the King are good, virtuous people; it just seems that Orgon's lie detector is not quite as effective. The King's keen insight highlights just how blind Orgon can be.

Kinda amazing how some people don't have common respect, or common sense. I started the hobby last year...have no one to show me anything about it, or rules etc..but from dig hole number one I knew I should fill the damn thing back in and leave no trace I was ever there...like duhhh. Also if I find a stupid bottle cap or other junk, I still put it in my bag of " finds" for the day, as I might want to go to the same area again, and don't want to find the same " junk" ....I guess common sense isn't so common. But have faith...if a complete newbie like me can figure it out I'm sure these bone heads will too, especially after you mentioned it to them. Happy digging guys.

The Black Heralds
by César Vallejo
The Black Heralds Theme of Dreams, Hopes, and Plans
Ooh—you thought you finally found a positive aspect of "The Black Heralds"? Well, wrong-o! No soup for you! Sorry, folks, all dreams, hopes, and plans are made only to be dashed by that mean old universe. You want some fresh-baked bread? Too bad; it burned on its way out of the oven.
Questions About Dreams, Hopes, and Plans
- How are dreams, hopes, and plans represented in the poem?
- Do you think the speaker has had any dashed dreams or ruined plans? What do you think they were?
- Have you ever had your hopes up only to be let down? Did you feel like the speaker does in the poem?
Chew on This
Try on an opinion or two, start a debate, or play the devil's advocate.
Humanity is at the mercy of chaos, and so all its plans go to waste. (You can quit planning now.)
Like a really bad GPS system, hope misleads people.

Oh, Daenerys. That hair! If you aren't obsessed with the HBO series (and book) Game of Thrones, this is Daenerys, played by the lovely Emilia Clarke. In the medieval-fantasy series Daenerys' platinum blonde locks are often in loose waves with a couple of twists or braids. I cut about three inches off my hair a while back, so I opted for twisting my hair and not braiding it to make up for the missing length. This is a super quick and easy hair tutorial, especially if you have naturally wavy hair that responds well to scrunching. I don't, so I used a triple barrel curling iron to create loose, messy waves. Keep reading for the details.
1. Working in sections from the nape up, use a triple barrel curling iron to create loose beachy waves. If you were blessed with naturally wavy hair, just scrunch your hair and skip to the next step.
2. Once you have curled all of your hair, flip your head over and separate the curls with your fingers. Spray a small amount of a flexible hold hairspray to set the waves.
3. Pull a small section of hair near your hairline, between your temple and ear, twisting (or braiding) the section away from your face.
4. Secure with a bobby pin and repeat on the other side.
5. Pull a small section about the diameter of a quarter from behind one ear and loosely braid it. You can skip the braid if you want, but I thought it would be a fun and unexpected detail.
6. Secure the ends with a small clear elastic band.
Voila! Here are the supplies I used for this hair tutorial.

The medical care facility was just one of today's community projects undertaken by the Okemos students.

Cleverley, who has come under much criticism from United fans this season due to a string of poor performances, looked in fine fettle as he displayed a number of dance moves outside nightclub Sakura at Deansgate Docks in Manchester.
The pair attempted to avoid publicity as they exited through a rear entrance around 3am, but were caught by fellow clubbers dancing and entertaining female company.
Fellow United and England teammate Ashley Young was also in the pair's company, though the former Villa winger made an early exit, leaving in a taxi as Cleverley and Welbeck continued into the night.

Slogan goal to set city apart
Officials: North of Ordinary reflects diversity of Denton
08:43 AM CDT on Sunday, May 7, 2006
By Dawn Cobb / Business Editor
Its all about creating an identity.
Unveiling a new slogan, Denton. North of Ordinary, the Denton Economic Development Partnership Board hopes to set the city apart from its North Texas neighbors to attract the attention of major corporations.
The idea, officials say, is to develop a theme that captures Dentons many facets from its growing and diverse population to its higher education offering to the varied and lively culture within the city. It ties into North Texas with north and ties into the fact that the city of Denton is extraordinary, said Marty Rivers, branch president with First State Bank in Denton, who is currently serving as board chairman of the Denton Chamber of Commerce.
The slogan, complete with new images and icons, will soon be seen on materials sent to major industries considering the North Texas region as well as in marketing materials used for promoting the city.
With its new moniker, the city now joins many communities that have adopted slogans to set themselves apart from the rest. Consider, for instance, the slogan for Las Vegas: What happens here, stays here. Or Austin, The Live Music Capital of the World.
Both slogans have become well known through repetitive marketing on television and in newspaper advertisements as well as by word of mouth.
Many are slogans not as well known across the country but familiar in the state from Lubbocks The Giant Side of Texas, to Abilenes The Friendly Frontier. Even the citys neighbors to the south have their own slogans: Fort Worth: Where the West Begins and Dallas: Live Large. Think Big.
And speaking of Dallas, a recent letter to the editor in the Denton Record-Chronicle stated what some have privately asked: What does Dallas think about Dentons new slogan? Are they offended?
A quick telephone to the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce to ask about Dentons new slogan netted this response: North of ordinary thats funny, thats kind of catchy, said Corey Hill, spokesman for the chamber.
Slogans are about making a statement. The North Dallas Chamber of Commerces slogan is More than business. Its about capturing attention but, more important, you want to capture attention where people know who you are, where you are, Hill said.
The fact that Dallas is south of Denton isnt the issue. Its reasonable for people to stretch the bounds, he said. It captures the attention of the people. Comedy, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
What is a slogan?
Wikipedia.com has a succinct definition for the word slogan: Slogan is a memorable phrase used in a commercial context as a repetitive expression of an idea or purpose.
The word is actually derived from the Scottish Gaelic word for battle cry.
Lou Pelton, a marketing professor from the University of North Texas, says the use of slogans is endemic in society, used in everything from promoting soap to electing a president. Slogans are something that might be viewed as hot buttons to viewers, he said. When Nike says, Just Do It, that tells us to take action.
For instance, slogans became synonymous with elections, especially national elections. One example, still known today, was the I like Ike made popular in the 1952 presidential campaign for Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The slogans of yesteryear no longer apply, he said, because of the generational differences. Both colloquial and nomenclature that goes along with a period of time changes, Pelton said. Terms change over time.
Members of Generation Y, born from 1977 to 1994, are the new emerging group marketers are targeting. Slogans for products and services geared to that generation would have to reflect issues and experiences of that age group.
Cities, however, are competing for a different group from tourism to business. Tourism is an enormous part of the revenue generation of a city or a municipality, Pelton said. They use the same marketing strategy.
Making of a message
Market research by Applied Behavioral Science in 2004 gave Denton a foundation from which to consider what message they should create.
An image survey of interviews with residents in Denton, around the Dallas-Fort Worth region, and into Oklahoma generated information about peoples perceptions of the city of Denton. What he found out was that people who didnt live in Denton typically thought of it as something north of the metroplex, said Linda Ratliff, economic development director for the city of Denton. After he talked to them about Denton and gave them information, their interest was piqued.
He found out that what we needed to do was get the message out of who we are, what we are and where we are to the people in the metroplex and out of the metroplex, she added.
From the survey, officials signed a contract with SullivanPerkins to develop a tagline and logo to set Denton apart from the rest, using the available information from the interviews. After being hired through a combination of city and chamber funds, SullivanPerkins of Dallas began their own research to find a message specifically for Denton. Their goal, according to president Mark Perkins, was to find a message that would gain attention, motivate and ring true.
The message they found was that Denton had extraordinary advantages that separated it from other North Texas communities, and that, therefore, it was a superior choice for business.
After looking at other economic development themes at cities across the nation, the company presented a list of 200, narrowing it down to 75 and then down to five.
Among those five were:
Attuned to business
The crossroads of performance and possibility
People and opportunity in harmony
In tune with big dreams
Perkins said the selected theme, Denton. North of Ordinary, was provocative, competitive, took some risk, but was true. The theme, he said, spoke of the citys geography, but as a metaphor; separated Denton deliberately; and tied the city to higher expectations.
The theme was officially unveiled at the annual Denton Chamber of Commerce banquet on March 30. Reaction from the back of the UNT Gateway Center was positive. Ooh, I like it, was the immediate response from Julie Trevino, a local certified public accountant.
Whats next?
Chamber officials say they plan to meet this month to decide exactly what steps will be taken next to implement the new theme. Discussions will center on how to market the slogan. The slogan will soon appear on a number of brochures, including the Denton Demographic Profile brochure, the 2006 Partners Investment brochure, and the 2006 Employers and Manufacturers Guide cover, among other items.
The budget for the marketing campaign is an estimated $150,000, from which the theme development is the first phase, said Chuck Carpenter, president of the Denton Chamber of Commerce. The first phase, considered the launch, is expected to cost about $37,000. Our intention is building pride, building credibility, he said. We feel like we need to get the homegrown folks checking off on it.

Here are a few slogans adopted by cities in Texas and in other states:

Bridge City: Building Bridges Together

This full-size premium telephoto zoom with Extra Low Dispersion (XLD) element delivers best-in-class resolution, while Tamron's own Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) and Vibration Compensation (VC) make the lens fast, quiet and easy to use.
Designed for digital SLR cameras, it can be used with both full-frame sensor and AF 35mm cameras for a zoom range of 70-300mm. With APS-C sensor cameras the angle of view will change the zoom range to an equivalent of 109-465mm*.
* Tamron's conversion 1.55x.
Aspiring to the most outstanding image resolution in the 70-300mm class, this lens utilises an advanced optical design featuring an LD (Low Dispersion) and an XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) lens element made from specialised materials that prevent chromatic aberration. As a result, it boasts sharper contrast and greater descriptive performance than all others in its class.
It's also the first Tamron lens sporting a USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive), Tamron's very own ultrasonic autofocus drive mechanism. This USD mechanism delivers fast focusing, making it a perfect telephoto zoom choice for photographing sports, racing and other fast-moving subjects.
The lens also boasts Tamron's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilisation to assist in handheld photography, not only at long focal length ranges where blurring is more common, but also under low-lit conditions, dramatically enhancing photographic freedom.
This combination of best-in-class image resolution, Ultrasonic Silent Drive and Vibration Compensation takes Tamron technology to a new level.

Specifications, appearance, functionality, etc may be changed without prior notice.
* Length and weight values given are for Nikon cameras.
** The Sony-mount model is not equipped with the VC image stabilisation mechanism, as anti-shake functionality is included in the body of Sony digital SLR cameras. Consequently, the name of the Sony-mounted lens, SP 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di USD, does not include the VC description.
Specifications, design, product name and standard accessories may differ by country or area. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, these matters are subject to change by the manufacturer without notice or obligation.

Stocks to Watch: MF Global, Johnson Controls and More
By Caitlin Nish and Corrie Driebusch
Stocks to watch this morning include MF Global, Johnson Controls and more.
MF Global Holdings Ltd., in addition to its hiring of Evercore Partners Inc. to advise it on a possible sale of the company, also asked J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. to explore options for MF Global, the New York Post reported Wednesday on its website, citing people familiar with the matter. MF shares rose 16% to $1.98 pre-market. They are down 54% this week as of Wednesday's close.
Johnson Controls Inc.'s fiscal fourth-quarter profit rose 20% as each of its main business segments continued to deliver double-digit sales growth. Shares gained 2.5% to $33.40 pre-market.
McDermott International Inc. projected weak third-quarter results that included an estimated $50 million in losses mostly tied to two projects in its Atlantic segment. Shares plunged 20% to $11.69 pre-market as the company said it could submit claims or change orders tied to the projects.
Citrix Systems Inc.'s third-quarter profit rose 5% as the virtualization and infrastructure software company reported broad revenue growth, especially from product licenses and its online and technical services segments. Shares rose 6% to $68.16 in recent pre-market trading as revenue topped the company's guidance and as the company issued an upbeat forecast for the current quarter.
TriQuint Semiconductor Inc.'s third-quarter earnings plunged 85% as the chip maker reported lower revenue and margins. The chip maker's shares fell 15% to $6.09 pre-market as the company issued a weak fourth-quarter outlook.

Computer peripherals maker Logitech International SA said Thursday its second-quarter net profit fell 58%, beating forecasts. Logitech surged 16% to $10.47 in pre-market trading.
Symantec Corp.'s fiscal second-quarter profit rose 34% as the company's top line continued to benefit from strong sales of its security and backup products.

Asudementio, on 13 November 2012 - 03:23 PM, said:
Positive influence? Maybe I will come off as a fanboy, but the GW2 philosophy which originates from the GW1 one, was this: "you can get the best statted items without too much effort, however if you want the "ubermegaleet" looking sets, then you have to work for it."
So far, GW2 proved to follow this same route: you could get exotic gear in a matter of days from dungeons, crafting or buying from others.
And here we are.. the "positive" influence of the ex-WoW players and the immigrants from other MMOs caused Anet to cater to their "special" needs and implement the possible beginning of a gear threadmill:
Newsflash: lots of people came to GW2 because they are sick of the gear threadmills of the other games. GW1 players came here as well with the same thought since they got used to it already and played the predecessor partially for that. (I personally played it for 6 years and it had no raids or gear threadmill...)
I would understand the gear threadmill-ers to come to GW2 if there would be no game about with that... however there are plenty! Just because it's the "new thing", they shouldn't flock to it and just whine and whine until it's changed to their taste while it was originally made for people who hate the currently existing MMOs on the market...

It's widespread across West Virginia, but the flu is losing steam -- thanks to the freezing cold weather.
"I think at this point if we are not at the peak we are on the down slope," says Dr. Dick Wittberg, executive director of the Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department. "While the cases were increasing, school was mostly closed. I think that will probably have a huge effect on the number of people that end up getting the flu this year."
Multiple school closings mean lots of snow days for Wood County kids.
"The silver lining for that is that there's a lot less of the residents of our area that are getting sick," Wittberg says.
Your child may exhibit a flu-like illness.
"Fever of over 100 degrees and either a cough or sore throat," Wittberg says. "If they have those symptoms, don't send them to school."
Why risk everyone's health.
"They might be able to make it through one day before they have to be home the next day. But by doing that you're making the whole classroom of kids and probably the teacher too come down with the flu eventually," Wittberg says.
The flu virus is not as contagious in an open setting.
"You probably aren't as likely to get it if you go out to the mall and just circulate amongst the people," Wittberg says.
Schools on the other hand...
"Probably one of the prime vehicles for spreading flu around through a community," Wittberg says. "And, you know, it's one of the reasons why if we ever had a really deadly strain of flu that was circulating, one of the things that we would consider doing is shutting down the schools."
With the weather warming up and school back in session, make sure your kids wash their hands often.
The flu hit West Virginia hard.
But all the recent school closings helped slow it down.
Dr. Dick Wittberg from the Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department says typically in a classroom setting you're putting kids next to each other, requiring them to be together for hours at a time.
It's a great way to spread the flu.
But the continued frigid temperatures means we're probably going to see a lower level of flu than in past years.
"I think it's the first flu season that I can remember where at the peak of the flu the schools have been closed for weather reasons," he says. "So the fact that we've had really bad weather and sub-zero weather and a lot of snow... the silver lining for that is that there's a lot less of the residents of our area that are getting sick with the flu."
Wittberg says even though the weather is warming up and school is back in session, if your child shows flu-like symptoms, don't send them to school.
And have them wash their hands and wash them frequently.

The Wildcats fell to Abilene (15-25, 25-19, 16-25) and Southeast of Saline (22-25, 26-28). They then won over Beloit (25-22, 25-14), Concordia (21-25, 25-21, 25-13) and Sacred Heart (25-12, 25-13).
"I think today was a learning opportunity and to finish the way we did took guts," Chisholm said. "We could have folded after a tough morning but our girls finished with three wins and that should elevate our confidence going into next week."

Tedford says he's sticking with slumping QB Riley
Cal coach Jeff Tedford lamented the lack of production in his team's passing game Saturday night but definitively said there will be no quarterback controversy in Berkeley.
"Kevin is our starter," Tedford said.
Kevin Riley completed just 15 of 40 passes for 199 yards during the Bears' 30-3 loss to visiting USC at Memorial Stadium.
Riley's poor performance was part inaccuracy, part dropped passes and part shoddy pass protection.
After ranking sixth in the nation in pass efficiency through the first three games, Riley has completed just 38 percent of his passes during the past two for only 322 yards. He also threw his first interception of the season Saturday night.
"Kevin can play better and we can play better around him," Tedford said.
While Riley's struggles last week at Oregon were almost entirely because of poor pass protection, much of his troubles were self-inflicted against the Trojans. He misfired on throws to several open receivers, and his only interception came on the game's opening drive after leading the offense to the USC 6-yard line.
Riley tried to force a pass into the end zone to wide receiver Marvin Jones, but it was easily picked off by All-American safety Taylor Mays.
"I'm very frustrated," Riley said. "We moved the ball. We have to get it into the end zone. I missed a lot of big opportunities."
A productive passing game is imperative for Cal in order to prevent opponents from keying on stopping star tailback Jahvid Best. USC held Best to just 47 yards on 14 carries.
"I'm fine. I just have to play better," Riley said.
"You can have all the confidence in the world, but you still have to go out and do it."
The Bears had put together a potentially momentum-changing drive, moving the ball from their own 25 to the Trojans' 21. But Cal used its final timeout during the possession, and Tedford wanted to make sure the Bears came away with points. But freshman place-kicker Vince D'Amato was wide left on the try, and Cal went into the locker room trailing 20-0.
"We wanted to put points on the board," Tedford said. "There were 12 seconds left, and I didn't want it to be a situation where somebody caught the ball or we got sacked and we came away without putting points on the board.
"I thought it was a nice drive. We moved the ball down the field nicely. We just missed it."

text: Health Recent Videos Building an international voice for autism A pioneering approach in medical research An unprecedented partnership Health Whether tackling society's most pressing public health crises or working to quicken the pace of research and innovation to find cures for life-altering diseases, a number of philanthropists today are focusing on health-related causes. This may be because, in the words of Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, quoting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., "Of all the injustices in the world, injustice in health is the most inhumane." The philanthropists we interviewed who focus on public health are motivated primarily by a desire to improve health outcomes, typically by working to improve the health of impoverished people. They set ambitious goals—such as reversing the U.S. obesity epidemic by 2015 or eradicating malaria globally—and promote innovative collaborations across the nonprofit, for-profit, and public sectors to achieve such goals. They find that the act of establishing and announcing ambitious goals can play an important role in galvanizing others to action. Most of the philanthropists we interviewed who focus on medical research have either personally or have had a family member afflicted by a disease and are frustrated by the slow pace of traditional approaches to research and drug development. They believe that philanthropy can accelerate research and collaboration by helping to break down the silos that have historically existed among researchers, the private sector, and government. To do so, our interviewees are changing the long-established rules of the game—which traditionally have been driven by government and pharmaceutical companies—by using innovative techniques such as increasing public awareness to prompt government funding for research; investing in "translational" research that bridges basic science (funded by government) and later-stage research (funded by the private sector); and promoting collaboration between researchers and institutions to bring cures to market faster. No matter what health issue our interviewees tackle or where that issue falls in terms of scale or cost, they are convinced that working independently has severe limitations. Their ability to work across sectors and fill essential yet underfunded steps in finding a cure or advancing medical understanding is key to their success. View Nancy Roob and Peter and Carolyn Lynch discuss how they have played a role in scaling successful public health organizations. See Bernie Marcus, Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, and Ray Chambers give examples of how to build awareness for health-related issues. Watch Michael J. Fox and Deborah Brooks, Mike Milken, Henry McCance, and Herb Sandler discuss how they are transforming medical research.

close to the top:

The complaint is valid as the file isn't there, but why is dhcpd looking for
this? I read the man page, and it said '-4' means IPv4 only, which is what
I have. My dhcpd.conf file is pretty vanilla stuff, taken almost verbatim

Presented in connection with the Public Radio Super Regional Meeting
Hosted at the Downtown Development Center with support from WWNO
New Orleans, LA
The first "Public Radio Super-Regional" meeting, which brought together members of all four regional public radio organizations that represent stations' interests to NPR and CPB, was the most important event in the first year of the Futures Forums.
The session audience was, by our standards, large and influential, with more than 200 station general managers/CEOs in attendance. The topic — the pace of change within public media — was selected in partnership with the four public radio regional organizations.*
Interest generated by our presentation was stronger than anything we had experienced: Powerpoint slides from this session were downloaded more than 350 times in the first month after the meeting.
Our research was based on 30 interviews conducted with station executives and supplemented by a survey of another 70 stations. The results confirmed several widely held and strategically important views about the emergence of public radio in the last decade, such as:
Our research found that the cohort of stations known as "system leaders" share the following characteristics:
Stations that exhibited this set of characteristics often entered a virtuous cycle of accelerated financial growth fueled, in part, by expanding major gifts and foundation revenues which were invested in local news and digital service expansion.
*Public Radio's Regional Organizations are: Eastern Regional Public Media (ERPM), Public Radio in Mid-America (PRIMA), Western States Public Radio (WSPR), and California Public Radio
