The next time you think you have the best web interface that will educate and inspire your users know this: they probably don't care.
It's crazy to think that "less than 8% of people interviewed" in the video below knew what a Browser was. If that's the case globally, then we as developers, designers, and web entrepreneurs share a common bond:
Job security. We haz it.
Generally, people want to perform a specific task when they go to a website, whether it be online shopping, checking sports scores, or browsing news feeds. The rest of their experience, clicking an "IE" icon, toolbars and settings, are just details. That's why the internet will need us to continue to make rich and engaging user experiences for the great amount of the population that doesn't care about the technological details that we've dedicated our careers to. It can be discouraging to see the percentages of average users that don't understand something about the internet that we all know well and use often, but, I can say the reason that keeps me motivated to design for the web is its constantly rewarding to discover and remedy problems with user experience.

One of the more popular holiday traditions is baking Christmas cookies. But for most of us, time is in short demand during the holiday rush, and this family tradition can sometimes turn into a major chore.
Here are lunch menus for Brunswick County's nine Senior Nutrition Sites for next week.
Monday, Dec. 13
Beef tips/gravy/noodles, okra/tomatoes, pears, whole-wheat bread/margarine, beverage.
Tuesday, Dec. 14
Sloppy Joe/bun, corn, turnip greens, applesauce, beverage.
Wednesday, Dec. 15
Pork roast/gravy, sweet potatoes, blacked-eyed peas, pineapple tidbits, dinner roll/margarine, beverage.
Thursday, Dec. 16
When the temperature dips into the 30s and 40s this time of year, it's time to start thinking about making some good, slow-simmered stew on the stove.
Using a combination of small cuts of meat (beef, pork, veal or lamb) along with various vegetables of your liking, and then placing them in a large covered pot and simmering them in a seasoned liquid for a long period of time would probably constitute being called a stew.
The only true balsamic vinegars in the world are from Modena and Reggio, Italy. The tradition started there and is still "artisan-made" today. These vinegars from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy are truly the finest you can buy.
Monday, Nov. 29
Roast beef au jus, brown rice, carrots, fruit cocktail, dinner roll/margarine, beverage.
Tuesday, Nov. 30
Chicken/dumplings, pickled beets, peaches, biscuit/margarine, beverage.
Wednesday, Dec. 1
Barbecue pork, baked beans, coleslaw, apple cobbler, dinner roll/margarine, beverage.
Thursday, Dec. 2
Chopped steak/gravy, rice, okra/tomatoes, pears, whole-wheat bread/margarine, beverage.
Whether you call them appetizers, hors d'oeuvres, canapés or whatever, they are the scrumptious little morsels served before the start of a full-course meal.
Appetizers can also function as the main course for a meal. Many times my wife and I have gone out to restaurants and just ordered three or four hors d'oeuvres instead of the usual entrée. This can also work at any of your cocktail or holiday parties.
Monday, Nov. 22
Tuesday, Nov. 23
Wednesday, Nov. 24
Macaroni and cheese, ham, vegetable blend, pears, dinner roll/margarine, beverage.
Thursday, Nov. 25
Thanksgiving Day.
Friday, Nov. 26
Have you ever wondered how our Thanksgiving celebration became a major national holiday?
Most people credit the pilgrims with the beginning of Thanksgiving, although it's not really known for sure. Around 1621, they experienced a bountiful harvest following an extremely rough winter a year earlier. They celebrated the occasion with a three-day feast, inviting local natives to share their bounty, as they ate wild game and cooked the many foods they gathered, including pumpkin, corn and berries.
Monday, Nov. 15
Chicken parmesan/marinara sauce, Italian green beans, pineapple tidbits, Italian bread/margarine, beverage.
Tuesday, Nov. 16
Roast turkey/gravy, stuffing, peas/carrots, fresh fruit-orange, biscuits/margarine, beverage.
Wednesday, Nov. 17
Baked ziti, vegetable blend, sugar cookies, apple juice, Italian bread/margarine, beverage.
Thursday, Nov. 18
Preparing a family-pleasing meal doesn't have to take a great deal of time and energy. Slow cookers are convenient for making dinners for one, two or more people. Use them for creating appetizers, all-in-one-meals, soups, side dishes and even cobblers and pudding.
Many of your favorite recipes can be successfully adapted to a slow cooker or crockpot if you follow a few simple rules. Try not to lift the lid of the slow cooker while cooking. Peeking will only increase the cooking time by 20-30 minutes!

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) Surgery
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) for Treating Uterine Fibroids
Uterine Artery Embolization
Advantages of UFE
Disadvantages of UFE
Risks of UFE
History of UFE
Note: Uterine Artery Embolization and Uterine Fibroid Embolization are different names for the same procedure.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), also called Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE), is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat uterine fibroids. This surgery uses a technique called embolization which blocks the flow of blood through the vessels around the fibroids depriving them of the oxygen they need to grow. The oxygen deprivation results in the fibroids shrinking. Although a relatively new treatment for fibroids, UFE has been used for years to control heavy bleeding after childbirth. Fibroid embolization is performed by an interventional radiologist who works in consultation with your gynecologist. The procedure takes about an hour. UFE surgery is not recommended for women who are planning future pregnancies, because its effects on fertility are not conclusively known.
UFE surgery involves making a small incision and guiding a catheter through the femoral artery in the groin to one of the uterine arteries and injecting tiny plastic spheres, about the size of sand grains. Using a moving X-ray (fluoroscopy), the physician guides the catheter through the artery to the uterus. An arteriogram (a series of images taken while radiographic dye is injected) is done to provide a map of the blood supply to the uterus and fibroids during the procedure. Tiny particles of tris-acryl gelatin or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) are injected through the catheter and lodge in the smaller arteries that branch out to the fibroids and choke off the blood supply. They remain permanently in the uterine arteries. With their blood supply cut off, the fibroids begin to shrink. Doctors repeat the process on the opposite uterine artery to treat all of the fibroids in the uterus.
Patients are conscious but sedated for the procedure. Local anesthesia is used at the site of the incision to block pain. An overnight stay in the hospital is generally required but UFE can be done as an outpatient procedure. Patients are given pain and anti-inflammatory medications for discomfort and cramping following the procedure.
Post Fibroid Embolization
Some patients may experience "post-embolization syndrome" which is described as having flu-like symptoms, such as a low grade fever, malaise, and mild nausea. Post-embolization syndrome can occur within a few hours or up to a few days post fibroid embolization. Side effects usually subside in a few days. Women resume light activities a few days after Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) and generally resume normal activity a week to ten days after the treatment.
Patients return for follow-up visits as scheduled by their physician. It usually takes two to three months for the fibroids to shrink enough so that symptoms such as pain and pressure improve. It is common for heavy bleeding to improve during the first menstrual cycle after UFE. A pelvic ultrasound or MRI is usually taken three to six months post fibroid embolization to confirm that the fibroids have shrunk.
The advantages of Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) are:
- Minimally invasive procedure
- No need for general anesthesia
- Treats all fibroids simultaneously
- Short recovery period (1-2 weeks)
- No abdominal scars
- Minimal blood loss
- Complications infrequent
- Uterus preserved, normal menstrual cycles usually resume after the procedure
The benefits of Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) are:
- 85% of women who have uterine fibroid embolization experience either significant reduction or complete resolution of their fibroid-related symptoms
- Fibroids often shrink to half their original size 6 months after UFE
- It is rare for fibroids to regrow or for new fibroids to develop after UFE
The disadvantages of Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) are:
- Moderate to severe pain and cramping in the first several hours or days following the procedure
- Bruising around the incision site
- Post-embolization syndrome, causing nausea and fever
- Up to 2% of procedures are technically unsuccessful
- 10-15% of procedures do not respond despite technical success
- No tissue is obtained for pathologic diagnosis
The risks of Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) are:
- A 1% chance of injury to the uterus, potentially leading to hysterectomy
- Damage to blood vessels
- Infection
- Entering early-onset menopause (This happens to 1-5% of women. It appears to occur more commonly in women who are over 45 when they have the procedure.)
- Allergy to x-ray contrast material (iodine)
- Passage of fibroid tissue (2-3% of women may pass small pieces of fibroid tissue after uterine fibroid embolization.)
- Fertility: The question of whether uterine fibroid embolization reduces fertility has not yet been conclusively answered
Uterine Fibroid Embolization is not recommended for women with:
- Asymptomatic fibroids
- Suspicion of cancer
- Renal insufficiency (kidney disease)
- Infection or pelvic inflammatory disease
- Pregnant women
- Women who wish to have more children
History of Uterine Fibroid Embolization
Since the 1970's, embolization has been used to treat people with bleeding from ulcers, tumors, and trauma. It has also been used to stop the bleeding that can sometimes occur after childbirth. Uterine Fibroid Embolization was first used as a technique to limit blood loss during surgical removal of fibroids, and performed well before the surgery. However, it was found that after embolization and while awaiting surgery, many patients no longer had symptoms, and frequently the operation itself proved not to be necessary. UFE was introduced as a treatment for fibroids in 1992 in Paris by Dr. Jacques-Henri Ravina, a gynecologist. The treatment was first performed in the U.S. at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). There are now many such centers around the world performing UFE to treat uterine fibroids

Estimated Tax Refund Amount 2013
An estimated refund is just that, an estimate. You can use a free tax calculator to get your own estimate of either what you can expect for a refund in 2013 or find out the approximate amount that you might owe. This isn't an exact amount and I wouldn't go spending this money before you actually file your return and receive your refund.
You will be prompted to enter some information regarding your filing status, dependent information, and income information in order to estimate your refund. An estimate can come in handy to find out if you are having the correct amount withheld from your paycheck each week. If you receive an estimate of an extremely large refund than you may want to increase your exemptions and if you find out that you will owe a large amount then you will want to decrease your exemptions. This can help you plan better for the end of the year so there aren't any suprises.
Figuring out your estimated tax amount can be a huge part of your financial plan for the upcoming year. The estimated amount should be pretty close to what your refund or amount due is as long as you entered the most accurate information you had when you used the calculator.

New improved Modric offer
"Chelsea would pay Tottenham £25m up front, with another £2m if they win the Premier League and Champions League" The Sun.
I know its paper talk, but win the P.L & C.L! Are they having a laugh? Their ageing squad will be lucky to get 2nd this time around, and Barca already have their name etched into the C.L cup.

"In terms of Chelsea being a bigger club, that is very debateable."
you are a prize muppet..... here are the facts:
prem titles: chelsea 3 spuds 0
total first division titles: chelsea 4 yids 2
1st division runners up: 4 each
fa cups: chelsea 6 spuds 8
fa runners up: us 4 you 1

we have more cups than you both at home and in europe..... and we have been in ascendancy this millenium unlike you..... you are a feeder club selling your best players to united - carrick, berbatoss - while players prefer to come to us over united - robben, mikkel, ballack..... and now your best player wants to play for us..... face it, that's because he is in the know - we are a BIGGER club than you...... come on chelsea!!! come on chelsea!!!!!

OK, 3 premier league titles, well done there. Remove the FA cup runners up, you get nothing for second.
There is not much in it. Moving away from the history, Spurs are on the way up, Chelsea have an ageing backbone that is on the way down. Hence, you are trying to replace Lampard etc.
I know you are in the C.L this season which is an incentive. However, surely Modric can see that Chelsea are'nt currently good enough to win any competition bar the League & FA cups.
Conclusion: Modric is a greedy git that just wants more money. He is not chasing success, as if this was the case, he would go to United over Chelsea.

Imagine you're a stranger in a distant land. You get off the plane, alone, and as you make your way through the unfamiliar city streets you get the distinct feeling that you're being watched. But then, you are. We all are, by security cameras set up for our protection. But what happens when whoever's watching all those cameras doesn't have our best interests at heart. What happens… when they want to kill us?
Urban Wolf, a new web series on Crackle.com premiering May 13th takes that premise and quite literally runs with it throughout the streets of Paris in a series combining elements of silent comedies, paranoid conspiracy thrillers and even a little 1984 just to keep you on your toes. It's an engaging little adventure that critics are already saying "may become the first successful international web thriller series," a weird statement clarified and re-clarified to the point of meaninglessness. "International," "web," "thriller" and "series?" The only word you should be focusing on is "successful," because despite a few hiccups Urban Wolf is an exciting little bit of filmmaking.
Vincent Sze stars as "Justin Case," who may sound like he's about to go explore the mysterious underground lair of the Lava Men with Jonny Quest and Ben Ten but is, in fact, a normal guy visiting Paris to meet… someone. (Plot point!) But in the first episode of Urban Wolf, poor Justin catches a security camera watching him a little too closely. Getting paranoid, he covers the camera and darts away, but this is modern Paris, and cameras are everywhere. Soon, the city behaves strangely around him. Lights stay red, TVs in storefront windows show footage of his own manic reactions and finally, Paris itself starts trying to kill him in various, often creative ways.
If Urban Wolf is to be faulted then all fingers point to pacing issues, which perhaps are a problem intrinsic to the series. It takes writer/director Laurent Touil-Tartour more time to establish his concept than a web series could provide in a single episode, getting Urban Wolf off to an enigmatic but slow start. There are also occasional breaks in the action, which follow Justin Case as he tries – and fails – to make some sense of his situation, which get us into his head a bit but don't really go anywhere. Also, once the plot kicks in and Justin tries to actually defend himself, the filmmaker's dedication to largely dialogue-less storytelling makes a crucial series of events difficult to explain adequately, although we do at least get the gist of it. These aren't the worst trials and tribulations a web series could weather, but it's important not to let the praise being heaped on Urban Wolf go completely unchallenged.
That said, all is forgiven in an emotionally satisfying and memorable conclusion that helps elevate Urban Wolf above its various flaws, and until then audiences will have a distinctive and often very fun series of Hitchcockian set pieces to plow through week after week. (If you can get through a few dry patches, at least.) Urban Wolf deserves its notoriety and may in fact lead this new pack of exciting web series. Strongly recommended.

Venture Capital and Cleantech: The Wrong Model for Clean Energy Innovation
Venture capital (VC) firms spent over $25 billion funding clean energy technology (cleantech) start-ups from 2006 to 2011 and lost over half their money; as a result, funding has dried up in the cleantech sector. In this report, we present the most comprehensive account to date of the cleantech VC boom and bust, aggregating hundreds of investments to calculate the risk/return profile of cleantech, compared with those of medical and software technology investments. The results are stark—cleantech offered VCs a dismal risk/return profile, dragged down by companies developing new materials, chemistries, or processes that never achieved manufacturing scale. We conclude that the VC model is broken for the cleantech sector, which suffers especially from a dearth of large corporations willing to invest in innovation. Fortunately, new public and private capital may be on the way after announcements made at the 2015 Paris Climate Change Summit. If a new and more diverse set of actors avoids the mistakes of the cleantech VC boom and bust, then they may be able to support a new generation of cleantech companies."

It's a rare thing these days, in the age of the internet and all, when you can honestly say an amateur skater paid his dues to earn what he's got, but for Nick Garcia, there's nothing truer than that. Skating his ass off, and getting noticed the old fashioned way… "The harder you work the luckier you get" and with that said, we are proud to introduce Element's newest pro, Nick Garcia.
Here's a look back at Nick's skating through the years, including video highlights, articles exposure, magazine covers, and his most recent footage and first pro ad… Congratulations Nick, you deserve it.
The Nick Garcia collection consists of the Welcome and Blue Collar boards, a cruiser shaped by Nick, and limited edition shirt. Everything is available in the Element store and at your local shop, so stock up now.
"Second Nature" A Documentary Film About Janne Saario
Second Nature is a 18-minute documentary on Element team rider and budding landscape architect, Janne Saario of Finland.
The short film allows a glimpse of Saario's thoughts and dreams, which float between design, art and skateboarding. Though it also reveals the important concurrence of post-industrial areas, sustainable concepts and natural environments, and unfolds the demanding obligation, towards today's generation and those to come, to create positive and inspiring, local communities.
Over the past two years, filmer Yves Marchon's keen eye reels in the various aspects and angles of Janne's life and creates the perfect portrayal of what Element is most proud of and strives to constantly stand for through their products, artists and team riders: to bring progress to skateboarding in the most honest and ethical way.
The film was premiered in Janne's home town of Helsinki, Finland which was named 'World Design Capital 2012′. The film has received great feedback so far so check out the film and let us know what you think!
This years "MAKE IT COUNT" contest series has been incredible, so I was really looking forward to seeing what the Europeans had in store. While our main focus was the Europe Make It Count finals, we couldn't just sit there and allow our down time in Berlin to slip away. We were out for a good time, and having a solid crew is essential. In this case, nobody missed a beat; everyone was down to skate, lurk the streets at night or make up ridiculous songs on the guitar and sing them at the tops of our lungs. Don't get me wrong, I love me some good 'ol America, but I miss Berlin already. Here are some Prints and Polaroids from our adventures in Berlin:

Boo, Nick, Evan and Todd at the Berlin Wall

I am planning on buying a mountain bike soon. Budget will be between $500 and $700 for the bike. Any recommendations what to look out for? And what about 26 versus 29? Can anyone recommend the Marin Bolinas Ridge 29er Hardtail? It is the only one I have looked at so far, but haven't test driven it yet.
Thanks for any advice/recommendation!

Not sure if you've come across an answer yet -- my advice for new mountain bikers is to find something cheap and beat it up on the tralis for a few months before you invest in something more expensive. As I'm sure you realize by now, bikes can get expensive...fast. Good luck on your search -- you'll love the sport of mountain biking, so it's so addicting!

|My Special Sponsors:
| - Bill and Denice Osborne, in memory of Harlette The Cat, Honary Golden Retriever and feline foster.
- Kathleen Starry
|Gender: Male Age: 8 years old
Cody's a relinquishment; his owners are divorcing and neither kept this super sweet Golden! It's their loss, because this guy is happy and charming to boot! His fur appears as if he's had a battle with fleas, and he may have hearing loss in one ear. He's enjoys his outings with our volunteer walkers; he's very interested in dogs and people, too. This tall Golden will be good company! If you cannot adopt him, consider sponsoring him.
Foster Update: 10/30/12
Cody has had his stitches removed, his incision looks good and all restrictions have been lifted. Yay! Cody had a kidney removed due to cancer and the vet was pleased with the biopsy results, feeling Cody got the best report he could under the circumstances. Cody has thyroid issues and this is being treated as well. This is one sweetheart of a Golden and just needs a furever home where he will have lots of love and TLC!
Foster Update: 11/21/12
Cody has come a long way since intake and is healing nicely post surgery. Nothing that he has been through these past couple of months has dampened his happy go lucky spirit and his ability to make me laugh. He is very inquisitive and smart; knowing his cuess, but could use further reinforcement and consistency which I have been working on whenever possible.
He does pull very hard on his leash when seeing other people, dogs or just starting out on his walks, but settles in at a good pace after a few minutes. Everyone, two or four legged, is his friend and he can't wait to greet them. If near enough, he will also greet parked vehicles thinking that he's going for a ride. A gentle leader for walks would probably be a wise investment for this big boy. Seeing him on his walks is a thing of beauty; he prances with that long stride of his and it is a joy to watch.
Cody plays very well on his own, either with his toys or with me, but I have to keep a toy handy for trade because he does mouth hands when he wants me to play. He's learning that my hand is not his chew toy, so for this reason children in the household would need to be older. My grandchildren (13, 10 & 8 years old) love Cody and had fun "racing" with him when we had a decent day outside to play. He was very good with them and didn't try to jump up when he got excited, however, getting him to drop his ball for them to throw needs some work. When he gets tired of playing he will roll over and let you rub his belly for as long as you will!
I have crated him twice, when I first brought him home and right after surgery, but he has been very reluctant to go in since. Good thing he is fully housetrained and has never had an accident in the house. Cody doesn't go to the back door or tell me when he needs to go, but paces and waits for me to ask if he needs to go outside, then he gets all excited and heads to the door. He doesn't linger much when outside either; getting his business done and races back in.
He can climb stairs easily, but doesn't jump very well when he wants to get on the bed. I've had to turn over my laundry basket to make a step up for him because I didn't want to pick him up around the middle after his surgery. He doesn't have any problems getting into the van or on the couch, which is lower and he can just step up.
Cody has never bothered or attempted to chew any of my belongings such as slippers, clothing, plants, etc. He does show great interest when I'm in the kitchen preparing food, but will go lay down when told. He's learning to take treats gently.
We haven't had any thunderstorms since I've had him, however, he did well during all the rain that Hurricane Sandy subjected us to. The high winds didn't seem to bother him overly much, but he didn't appreciate the fireworks that my town had over the week-end.
Cody would like a forever home that would continue to teach him, cherish him and laugh at his funny ways. Are you his?
Foster Update: 1/25/13
Cody has passed his four month post-op ultrasound, radiographs and blood work with flying colors and the surgeon is very pleased with how much better Cody looks and acts. The technicians couldn't believe he was the same dog that they had in their care just a short while ago and were thrilled that he is doing so well.
For being in his middle years, Cody still has puppy-like qualities that are very endearing. He is playful, gets excited for his daily walks and his playtime with me to help burn off his energy. Afterward he is content and will lie down to snooze, get a belly rub, or to chew on a toy or his bones. He recently learned how to roll the treat ball around the house and he doesn't stop until the last treat has fallen out. It didn't take him long to pick up the concept of what it was about.
He is exploring more in the backyard and has shown signs of having a prey drive by chasing the squirrels as they run on top of the fence. Thankfully for them, they are faster, but not by much. He loved the snow we had earlier in the month, but didn't make as many doggy angels as I thought he might. He had more fun sticking his nose into the snow trying to sniff out whatever took his fancy or chasing down and eating the snowballs I made and threw for him.
Cody will bark if he hears a car door slamming near the house or if someone knocks on the door, however it's really hard to look ferocious when barking with a chew toy in his mouth. He makes me laugh when he does this because he looks so eager for someone to play for him it matters not if it's a friend or foe. He's definitely more an alert dog than a guard dog which fits the personality of most goldens. Guard dogs they are not.
Overall Cody has been a joy to foster. He has a huge personality and the will to learn and experience new things, but loves routine as well. This sweet boy should be adopted soon, so submit your application soon if you haven't done so already.

SIKESTON -- The Sikeston Department of Public Safety arrested a man Sunday after he defrauded a local church.
The man went to a local church and asked for help buying baby formula for his sick child. On his request, the church purchased six cans for him, but the man was able to get a hold of the receipt and returned the cans to the store to get the money back.
The name of the man has not been released pending the filing of formal charges by the Scott County prosecutor. Sikeston DPS is warning area churches and businesses to be aware of this type of fraudulent activity.

Yuan Pact to Benefit Bank of China (Hong Kong)
Bank of China (Hong Kong) stands to benefit long-term from a pact between China and Hong Kong to expand the scope of yuan-based business in the city, Market Talk says. According to a person familiar with the situation, China and Hong Kong plan to sign the agreement next week.
The People's Bank of China and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority will sign the pact in Hong Kong on Monday, the person added.
HKMA Chief Executive Norman Chan said June 18 that the plan will allow banks in the city to introduce yuan-denominated insurance, securities and fund products locally amid rising demand for yuan business. Yuan settlements in Hong Kong have increased in recent months after authorities allowed non-mainland Chinese banks and companies to issue yuan-denominated bonds in Hong Kong in February.
BOC Hong Kong shares were flat Tuesday at 17.78 Hong Kong dollars (US$2.29) each.

McKenna to vote for privatized liquor
Saying he's basing his decision in part on the fact that state government needs more money, Attorney General Rob McKenna says he'll vote for a measure that would privatize liquor sales in Washington.
The Republican candidate for governor revealed his position on Initiative 1183 to KCTS host Enrique Cerna in an interview to air Friday evening. Rep. Jay Inslee, McKenna's Democratic opponent, said last month he'll vote against I-1183 because he worries about the potential public safety impact.
McKenna told KCTS that he had studied the issue and concluded that other states that privatized liquor sales had not seen increased problems.

Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool side made the trip over to Wales to take on his former side Swansea City in the early kick-off on Sunday. Liverpool created the better chances in a match that will not linger long in the memory of those who watched it, but failed to beat Gerhard Tremmel in the Swansea goal, who had a good game. Luis Suarez had his usual energetic display registering a number of powerful shots on target, but none of them were of the nature that you would expect to beat a Premier League level goalkeeper. Liverpool did have a golden period towards the end of the first half where Raheem Sterling hit the woodwork before Jose Enrique had a goal rightly disallowed for offside. Swansea did not create enough clear cut chances of their own, and were probably happy to walk away with a clean sheet and the point which came with it.
There were a couple of changes to both sides for this game with Chico returning at center-back in place of Gary Monk for Swansea, while the rotation of wingers continued at the Liberty Stadium with Wayne Routledge getting a game ahead of Nathan Dyer. Liverpool also made two edits to the side which beat Wigan 3-0 last weekend with Glen Johnson moving across to right back due to the injury to Andre Wisdom, with Stewart Downing returning to the starting eleven. Jordan Henderson also got a game at the expense of Suso. Brendan Rodgers himself got a mixed reception at his former club.
Swansea made a bright start to the game with Pablo Hernandez in particular looking especially lively in the first half hour. Hernandez was terrorizing the Liverpool defence, getting a couple of sighters at goal, while also attempting to create some opportunities for his teammates.
Swansea though failed to make the most of their start and Liverpool got stronger as the half wore on. Their best chances in the half came within moments of each other with young Raheem Sterling leading a Liverpool attack where he attempted to set-up Luis Suarez for the opener. Suarez was denied, but the ball made its way back to the young Englishman, whose half-volley get the better of Tremmel, but was kept out by the width of the crossbar.
Moments later Jose Enrique in his new avtaar rampaging down the Liverpool left had the ball in the back of the net from Luis Suarez's cross, only for the goal to be ruled out by the referee's assistant who noticed that the Spaniard has sneaked ahead of play.
Swansea made a change at half-time, bringing on Sung-Yong Ki for Etey Shechter so that Michu could play in a more advanced role as the focal point of the Swans attack. That helped Swansea get a stronger foothold at the start of the second half after having gone into the break getting a bit over-run. Swansea though had a disappointing second half by their standards, failing to create anything concrete despite their players getting into some good positions and also earning some free-kicks around the box.
Liverpool on the other hand wasted a glorious 2-v-1 opportunity when Suarez and Sterling raced clear of the Swansea defence, but the youngster's pass to release Suarez took the Uruguayan striker wide, and by the time Suarez got the ball in a shooting position, there wasn't a lot left to aim at.
Liverpool continued to be the side looking for likely to score with substitute Jonjo Shelvey the latest to warm Tremmel's hands with a powerful drive from distance, but the Swansea second choice keeper showed that he was up to the challenge as the home side hung on clinch a crucial point.
Both teams will be in action again on Wednesday night with Liverpool on the road once again, visiting Tottenham in what could be a crucial game for the European hopes of both sides. Swansea meanwhile will host high-flying West Bromwich Albion and will look to put a dent in Steve Clarke's European aspirations.
Swansea: Tremmel, Chico, Williams, Rangel, Davies, Britton, Michu, Pablo, Routledge (Dyer 67'), De Guzman (Agustien 85'), Shechter (Ki Sung-Yeung 46')
Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Jose Enrique, Agger, Skrtel, Gerrard, Henderson (Shelvey 77'), Downing (Cole 77'), Allen, Sterling, Suarez

2 high school students killed in vehicle collision
MOUNT HOLLY - Two North Carolina high school students died in a fiery crash and a third was pulled to safety by bystanders minutes after they drove away from their school.
State Highway Patrol troopers said the pickup truck carrying three 16-year-old boys collided with another vehicle around 8 a.m. near East Gaston High School.
A trooper said the truck's driver lost control in a curve two blocks from the Mount Holly school, and slid on wet pavement into an oncoming Dodge Durango.
The cab and the bed of the pickup truck separated in the violent crash and the cab caught fire.
A bystander pulled the driver, Daniel Rowland, out from behind the wheel. Passengers Travis Mintz and Nicholas White were pronounced dead at the scene.

Smash! A finger slammed in the door. Pop! A cheek splashed by hot cooking oil. Crack! A leg snapped in a ski slope tumble. All painful experiences, yes, but just how painful depends on whom you ask.
Women report more intense pain than men with the same medical conditions, according to a new Stanford study published online Monday in The Journal of Pain.
Physician Atul Butte and his colleagues highlighted the gender gap in one of the most comprehensive surveys to date -- combing electronic medical records of more than 11,000 adult patients at Stanford hospitals and clinics.
"Right now there are no sex-specific protocols for pain management," said Butte, but "men and women do report these pain scores differently."
He said the new findings emphasize that health care workers should take a patient's sex into account when deciding whom to give pain medications to, how much to give, and when.
Many smaller studies have examined the issue -- some claiming women are more sensitive to pain and others refuting that argument. "What this paper does above and beyond what came before is a matter of sheer size," said Jeffrey Mogil, a pain expert at McGill University in Montreal, who was not involved in the study. "In my mind, it puts the story to bed forever."
Patients in the new study reported their discomfort during medical exams, rating their experiences from zero ("no pain") to 10 ("worst pain imaginable"). Researchers identified 14 maladies -- including back problems, sinus pain and arthritis -- for which women and men described different levels of pain. In all cases, women expressed greater suffering.
Most of the differences were small, which may be why less expansive studies had failed to consistently find them, said University of Florida pain researcher Roger Fillingim. But for some conditions, such as hernia and high blood pressure, women reported average increases of about one pain-scale point over men suffering the same ailment.
"That's a big deal," Butte said. "That's when we say a medication might be working, when it can drop a pain score by a point."
Does this mean that men can handle pain better than women? Not necessarily, said Butte. He noted that their methods do not address possible differences in pain tolerance, which is hotly debated among scientists and nonscientists alike.
"All we can say is that women report more intense pain," said Stanford postdoctoral researcher David Ruau, a lead author of the study. And, he said, it's hard to tell whether men and women actually feel pain differently, or whether they merely rate their experiences differently.
For example, women -- specifically those who have endured childbirth -- may place their "worst pain imaginable" rating at a higher mark than men. And men playing "macho" might downplay their pain severity to others, especially to female nurses.
For many couples, the findings will reawaken an old debate -- one the researchers themselves leave open -- of not who feels more pain, but rather, which sex bears it better.
Andy Perrucci, 52, of Los Gatos, concedes that his wife, Julie, also 52 and an architect, is by far the tougher one. "She's got a high pain tolerance," said the aerospace engineer, pointing out that Julie Perrucci dealt with chronic pain for years while putting off knee replacement surgery.
While couples like the Perruccis defy gender stereotypes, some patients may actually buy into traditional gender roles and experience pain differently as a result.
Fillingim, who was not associated with the study, said societal influences could change not only willingness to report pain but the amount of pain experienced.
Leslie Barrow, 45, of Santa Cruz, believes in the power of attitude to affect how strongly people feel pain. "I think it's more a matter of personality than gender," said Barrow, who works in human resources for a school district. She said both she and her husband, Brett, 44, are "pretty tough. Neither of us are complainers."
Brett Barrow has gone to his job as a contractor, then driven himself, sweating, to the hospital late at night to treat his kidney stones. He recalls the ordeal with an uncanny nonchalance. So, did he actually feel less pain than a woman might have?
Researchers say that directly measuring men's and women's pain experiences -- instead of relying on self-reports -- is tough.
"That's almost like asking is the color red that I look at the same as the color red you're looking at," Butte said.
For the researchers, Butte said an important next step will be to find out whether men and women respond to pain medications differently. The answer could be a big step forward for sex-specific, personalized medicine.
For the rest of us, Butte expects the new findings will stir up "a lot of discussions and fights at night at home between husbands and wives."
Put simply, Butte said, "It's a battle of the sexes."

Bluegrass group The Grascals give over a sizable chunk of their third album to covers of classic country and bluegrass songs, including selections that are inspired (George Jones' "Choices"), obvious (the standard "Rollin' in My Sweet Baby's Arms") or even both (Waylon Jennings' "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line"). The group's own solid-enough songs don't quite stack up against such hallowed company, but the consistently high level of virtuosity and energy on display—these guys have twice been named the International Bluegrass Music Association's Entertainer of the Year, after all—make Keep On Walkin' a lively and listenable affair.

By Ms. Marie Berberea (TRADOC)May 3, 2011
Almost 40 years after starting his career at Fort Sill, Okla., as a mail clerk, Bernard Valdez, the Mission Installation Contracting Command-Fort Sill director, said his farewell to friends and colleagues and joined the ranks of the recently retired.
Members of the Mission Installation Contracting Command-Fort Sill didn't think there was cause for celebration. His employees had a different plan and sent him off in proper fashion at his favorite spot on post-the Fort Sill Golf Course.
With roots at Fort Sill, Valdez said his career took a turn when an office romance and ensuing marriage resulted in a vacant job position. At that time, it was against regulations for married couples to work together so one of the individuals was moved to another office and another position creating an opportunity for Valdez.
"I walked into the contracting office and a lady named Phyllis Ladyman hired me. I don't think I was even her third choice, but she hired me," Valdez said.
Raised in nearby Lawton, Valdez also met his wife, the former Barbara Fisher, there.
Working in contracting has a very rewarding experience for Valdez and he was able to give people in the community jobs that needed them while making sure Soldiers and their families were taken care of.
An avid golfer, Valdez plans to spend more time perfecting his game.
"Anybody that has a hole dedicated to him is probably on the golf course more than he should be," joked Col. Raymond Lacey, Fort Sill garrison commander. Lacey said as a director, Valdez was gracious enough to share his wisdom in contracting with him as he's done with so many commanders before.
During his career, Valdez was instrumental in implementing the government credit card program here and also helped with contracts on Fort Chaffee, Ark., in 1975 when Vietnamese refugees were being processed there and again in the 1980s when Cuban refugees came through.
When asked why he decided to retire, in jest he said he knew when he realized some of the ties he owned were older than the people that work for him.
"Paisley is not coming back," he said.
All kidding aside, Valdez said he felt it was time to retire and looks forward to the new beginnings. Valdez said he was especially grateful for the time he spent as director, a position he's held since 1996 after then Col. Jim Russell selected him for the position.
"Colonel Russell selected me to be the guy. One decision of probably thousands he made, but it's actually been a gift that he gave to me, a gift that I've enjoyed tremendously. Thank you. Thank you to my coworkers, my fellow directors, people that have retired before me. Thank you Fort Sill."
His mother worked for Post Laundry on Fort Sill and his father helped construct in the 1930s the very building in which he's spent so many years working.
"I guess that's why I stayed so long. This is home, and I didn't really want to move anywhere else," Valdez said. "I was fortunate that my supervisors liked what I was doing and mentored me and prepared me to advance to the next career level."

Moon's Son Heads North, Expects to Meet Kim Jong Eun
The link between the Unification Church and North Korea, which seemed broken after news the North wouldn't send a delegation to the funeral of Rev. Moon Sun-myung, turned interesting again.
The church announced Friday that Mr. Moon's successor, his youngest son Moon Hyung-jin, went to the North early in the morning with the head of the church's Pyeonghwa Motors, which builds cars in the North.
"The purpose of the visit is related to the expression of condolences by Rev. Moon's relatives and leaders in the North," the church statement said.
Since Mr. Moon's death on Monday, there has been speculation about whether North Korea would send an official delegation to the South at some point during the week-long wake.
But on Thursday, Park Sang-kwon, the chief executive of the church-owned car manufacturer, arrived in the South from North Korea and said he'd been told the North's government wouldn't send an official delegation.
Mr. Moon was born in a village north of Pyongyang in 1920 and lived there for most of his life until the Korean War. He was jailed for his religious activities before the start of the war and was freed by South Korean and U.S. troops.
In 1991, he visited the North's founder and long-time leader Kim Il Sung. When Mr. Kim died, Mr. Moon sent a funeral delegation to Pyongyang. He did so again after the death of Kim Jong Il last year.
In its statement Friday, the church said that a memorial site for Mr. Moon had been set up in Pyongyang and that it expected some of his relatives and leaders of North Korea to visit it.
The church statememt said "it is assumed" North Korea's current dictator, Kim Jong Eun, grandson of Kim Il Sung and son of Kim Jong Il, will be among the mourners at the site in Pyongyang.

By Marny MalinMarch 27, 2009
FORT BELVOIR, (Virginia) --Fresh from the farm she called home in Marion, S.C., 1st Sgt. Cynthia Moody joined the Army with a friend in 1987. She said she recognized the opportuniA,AA,Aties it afforded her. She also joined with the hope of beA,AA,Acoming a member of the Golden Knights, the Army's elite parachute performA,AA,Aance team.
The recruiter told her, alA,AA,Athough she might not be able to be a Knight, she could still be Airborne. After basic training, she was asA,AA,Asigned to the 82nd Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg, N. C. as a personnel specialist.
From there, she followed through on a series of goals she set for herself: becomA,AA,Aing a drill sergeant, earning three degrees and becoming a member of the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club.
After deploying to Iraq with the 4th Aviation Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, Moody began to contemplate what other opA,AA,Ations were available to her. At an NCO professional development session, a disA,AA,Acussion arose regarding first sergeant positions. When an opening in the Army Entertainment Detachment was menA,AA,Ationed, it was music to her ears. The Airborne sergeant was looking for a change.
She applied for the posiA,AA,Ation and got it. Since then, her feet have been planted firmly on the stage and unA,AA,Ader the spotlights. She is the second woman to lead the detachment as a first sergeant.
Because she and her sibA,AA,Alings were always busy with the chores around the farm, neither she nor other memA,AA,Abers of her family ever had time to be musically inclined. But, growing up, she exA,AA,Aperienced Christian and Gospel music and the songs of the South, which gave her an ear for and an apA,AA,Apreciation of music.
She also has a very hardA,AA,Aworking, can- do attitude. So the long days and nights and the physical nature of s e t t i ng up shows came easy.
So did the skills of hanA,AA,Adling her cast and crew. She is always present on the set or behind the scenes, making sure everyA,AA,Athing runs smoothly.
' During the initial deA,AA,Avelopment of the Soldier Show, it is imperative that you communicate with them. The days are long and the nights are short, support is the key to runA,AA,Aning a show successfully,' Moody said.
At a recent practice, she watched intently, then made specific sugA,AA,Agestions to the performers afA,AA,Ater the perA,AA,Aformance.
'Sometimes the Soldiers slip, fall, miss a line - all of those little mistakes that only we know about. The performance continues and, afterward, we all share a good laugh,' she said.
The support from the auA,AA,Adience, she said, is what lifts them when they need the energy to set up the next show. ' The best aspect of my job is to see the faces filled with excitement after the show ... then hearing the compliments and the g r a t i t u d e from Soldiers, families, friends and civilA,AA,Aians after each performA,AA,Aance ... that is rewarding,' Moody said.
Her own 11 siblings, mother and father someA,AA,Atimes watch the shows at Fort McPherson, Ga., and Fort Jackson, S. C. Her 16A,Ayear- old daughter, Raven, accompanies her to the Maryland, Virginia and New York performances.
Moody said she encourages her Soldiers to use the strategy that has worked for her: develop a plan of action, set achievable goals, conA,AA,As t a n t ly review the plan, stay focused on the future and never give up.
'I constantly counsel Soldiers. I focus on their well- being. I focus on the toA,AA,Atal Soldier and let them know I am there for them,' Moody said.
'The Army has enhanced my character, qualities, abilA,AA,Aities and inner strength. With each measure of sucA,AA,Acess, I feel my confidence grow and my knowledge inA,AA,Acrease. I mentor Soldiers keeping what I have learned in mind, and measuring my responses,' she said.
Moody has seen several Soldiers continue on in the entertainment field, joining the Army Band or Army Chorus.
Although the Soldier that makes it to national fame has yet to land, Moody continues on pursuA,AA,Aing rewarding and chalA,AA,Alenging personal goals and enabling Soldiers to attain theirs.

How To Install and Configure the Tenda W311U Wireless Adapter on Mac OS X
Before getting started, please be aware that this software installation requires a restart of your computer. Be sure to save any and all open documents and files before proceeding.
- To begin, open your web browser of choice (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, etc) and navigate to the Tenda web site at http://www.tenda.cn .
- Click the "Downloads" link, and type "W311U" into the search bar. Click "search".
- Click the download button for the W311U(MAC) listing and, if prompted, choose a download location.
- Double-click the "W311U_Mac_driver.zip" file, when downloaded.
- Double-click the "W311U_Mac_driver.dmg" file that was extracted from the zip.
- Open a new Finder window.
- Navigate to the "RTUSB_RalinkWithAPI_Installer" disk, as shown.
- Double-click on the folder that matches your version of Mac OS X. Note: 10.3 is OS X Panther, 10.4 is OS X Tiger, 10.5 is OS X Leopard, and 10.6 is OS X Snow Leopard.
- Double click on the .pkg installer file inside that folder. The correct ones are circled in the following screenshot.
Note: From this point of the tutorial forward, the screenshots will be specifically for Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the installation and use process is nearly identical on all versions of Mac OS X.
- Click "Continue".
- Click "Install".
- If prompted, enter your OS X account username and password and click "OK".
- Click "Continue Installation".
- The installer will now continue on its own, and may take several minutes to complete.
- When the installation is finished, click "Restart" to complete the installation.
- Once the computer is restarted, go to your Applications folder, and open the "Ralink Wireless Utility" folder.
- Double-click on the "WirelessUtility" application.
- You will see the following screen. At this point, plug in your Tenda W311U Wireless USB adapter.
- Once the adapter is plugged in, the software will automatically scan, and will select an open network for you if one is available. To change networks or connect to a secured network, click its name in the "SSID" column, and click the Connect button.
- If the network is secured, the software will prompt you to input the required password information. Select your security type and input your access key here, then click "OK".
Note: Once you are connected, you can minimize or hide the program, but do not close it. If you do, you will lose wireless connectivity, and will need to restart the Ralink Wireless Utility. You can tell the software is running because the Ralink utility will be located in your program dock, as shown.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and set up your Tenda W311U on your Mac OS X system! To uninstall, simply run the appropriate uninstaller file, as seen in the screenshot for part 10 of this tutorial.

The polyp guillotine is designed to replace the wire snare in the removal of polypi from the rectum and rectosigmoid region. The disadvantages of the wire snare may be thus enumerated:
It is an instrument difficult to keep in order.
A polyp with a tough connective tissue stem will require a considerable degree of traction, and the mucosa is often lacerated to quite a degree.
The guillotine is so constructed that it passes easily through a five-eighths inch caliber tube without obstructing the view. It is 12 inches in length, the fenestra measuring 1 by 1 cm. The knife is serrated and fits closely in the groove. After the polyp is engaged, pressure with the thumb crushes the pedicle; a second thrust cuts through entirely, and the polyp will usually be found adhering to the instrument. What little bleeding results is readily controlled by direct pressure with a cotton applicator

Dozens of postal workers protest proposed changes
Workers want to keep Saturday delivery
Winter weather didn't stop postal workers from protesting a plan to cut a day of deliveries.
About 50 U.S. postal workers gathered in front of the main post office on Dalton Street in Cincinnati Sunday.
The workers are upset about the proposed plan to cut Saturday mail delivery.
The Postmaster General said eliminating a day of mail delivery would save $2 billion a year.
The protesters want to change laws that the post office does not have to pre-fund retirements.
"It's ridiculous. No business in the world could operate under such a heavy mandate and we're not allowed to adjust postage rates to cover the mandate, which is unrealistic under any standards. We're trying to get them to change that," postal worker Michael Funk said.
The workers asked others to write letters to their representatives encouraging them to lift the restrictions.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned on Sunday his country would "implement steps" if the violence in Syria was not ended.
"We will patiently follow the process until April 10", Erdogan was quoted as saying by daily Hurriyet on Sunday.But "we will implement steps" if violence does not stop after that, he added.
The Turkish premier did not specify what measures his government would take. However, Turkish press reported that several scenarios are being discussed, including the setting up of a buffer zone along the border with Syria.Erdogan also said the number of refugees was increasing.
"The numbers are continuously increasing. We are taking measures, we have no thought of closing our doors," said Erdogan urging the United Nations particularly Annan to take a "stronger stance".

Open-faced Omelet in Crust
Serves 4
30 minutes or fewer
I came up with this recipe one evening when all that was in the house was some stale bread, a few eggs, an onion and some cheese. It is easy and surprisingly good. To make fresh whole grain breadcrumbs, tear up slices of stale bread, and grind them in a food processor or blender.
- 2 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 cup minced onion
- 2 cups fresh whole grain breadcrumbs
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded Fontina cheese
