NEW YORK — The economy will gradually pick up steam throughout 2008, and — despite a very slow start — might not slip into a recession, the National Retail Federation predicted at a press conference here last week. "Interest-rate cuts and an economic stimulus package from the federal government could help things in the second half," said Rosalind Wells, chief economist for NRF, speaking at a press conference at the association's Big Show here last week. Later in the week, the NRF board of ...

Friday, August 15, 2008(AP) -- South Carolina starting quarterback Tommy Beecher knows he's got some work to do.
The Gamecocks No. 1 quarterback showed that Wednesday night with a ragged scrimmage performance. Beecher went just 15 of 30 for 123 yards and one touchdown pass. However, he was continually pressured and held onto the ball too long for coach Steve Spurrier's tastes.
Beecher acknowledged the problems and vowed to be ready for South Carolina's opener Aug. 28 against North Carolina State at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia.
Spurrier says mistakes were expected and he planned to have Beecher coached up in time for the season.

I had a miscariage last nov. and i was at 6 weeks instead of 8. So i went in for my ultrasound on monday, and i am only at 6 weeks 1 day . so if you go by my LMP I am a week off. is that normal?
the timing of it all
Comments (4)
That can be very normal. Women typically ovulate 14 days after starting their period but it is possible to ovulate at any time of the month, really. So it is ok to be off by a week.
Are you measuring a week behind or ahead? Either is ok.
thanks for the information. i am just driving myself crazy. i took a pregnancy test last night to see if i was still pregnant. I go back for another ultrasound next wed. so i have a while to wait and see if the baby grew or not.
I just wanted to add this......
All computer and u/s machine programs are programed to use a 28 day cycle with O on CD14...so if that is not you.....then you will be off by whatever difference in your cycl is.....
Additionally you have a 4 day range of O.....so if you O later in your cycle that month than normal you will be off.
Plus implantatin can happen late too, throwing you off even more.....if you add all this up it can be up to a week to 10 days.
I was temping so I know my O date. And I can figure out my implantation date based on when I got my first + hpt.......
I have a 29 day cycle and I O'ed on CD15. instead of implanting at 7-10 dpo I did not implant until 11dpo.....so it threw my "size" of the baby off by about 3 days.
When I had an u/s last week at 7w3d doc said, everthing looks good but based on LMP you are measuring 3 days behind......I said nope, right on schedule...and told him the above and he said.....well...looks like you have this covered....lol
GL to you!!!!!!! Remember this is not an exact science (imagine the population if it was!!!!!)
Thank you for all of that information. it helps ease my mind a bit.

Candy Box (Browser)
missing cover art
Critic Score
100 point score based on reviews from various critics.
User Score
5 point score based on user ratings.
DescriptionCandy Box is a game of slow progression and discovery. At first the player is confronted with a number counter that keeps going up by one each second indicating how many candies they possess. The player can either eat all the candies they possess or throw them on the ground in sets of ten. If the player possesses enough candy, a candy merchant appears looking to sell the player lollipops and other items for candies. After purchasing the first item from the merchant, the player now has an inventory screen and also now gets to go on quests.
The quests are selected from a drop down menu. The goal of the game is to get through all the quests. In quests, the players avatar continually moves forward automatically fighting any enemies they come across. Besides earning the player candy, quests usually contain an item for the player to get. These items typically either help the player on future quests or open up more options for the player to explore.
Eventually players will be able to buy scrolls and also create potions by using a cauldron amongst doing other activities when they are discovered.

Matt Conner is the Chief
of Visitor Services for Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Matt's journey
into a natural resources field began when he discovered an old dusty long bow
one spring as the family prepared for a garage sale. Matt spent countless
hours shooting arrows at targets, stumps, and anything in range as he patrolled
the forests and ponds near his boyhood home in rural Illinois. His
passion for archery grew as he discovered bow hunting and a family friend took
him hunting for the first time when he was 12 years old. Matt's time
spent in the outdoors bow hunting fostered interests in birds, wildlife, and
forest ecology. After completing his B.S. and M.S. of Forestry at
Southern Illinois University, he worked in various national parks and national
wildlife refuges with duties ranging from being a costumed chuck wagon cook in
Montana to leading hikes in the swamps of White River National Wildlife Refuge
in Arkansas. Matt feels that his past experience of working at four
national parks and 4 national wildlife refuges helped prepare him for the
challenges of working at Kenai NWR.

The OpenCV (Open-Source Computer Vision) Library is, as many of you likely already know, a key enabler for the practical deployment of computer vision technology, the fundamental mission of the Embedded Vision Alliance. The Alliance website contains a rich collection of OpenCV downloads, documentation, tutorial videos and other resources, as does (of course) the OpenCV Foundation's own website.
February 19, 2015
The Embedded Vision Alliance is performing research to better understand what types of technologies are needed by product developers who are incorporating computer vision in new systems and applications. To help guide suppliers in creating the technologies that will be most useful to you, please take a few minutes to fill out this brief survey. As a token of our appreciation, upon completing this survey you will be entered into a drawing to win one of the following three prizes:

Vision processing is, as any number of Embedded Vision Alliance-championed articles and videos already attest, a key aspect of robust automation systems (where it's often referred to as "machine vision").
February 9, 2015
Those of you who've already read the Alliance-authored article "Vision in Wearable Devices: Enhanced and Expanded Application and Function Choices" (and if you haven't yet, why not?) may now be looking for additional information that'll enable you to bring the ideas stimulated by your research to fruition.

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) has issued a call for participation in a Pill Image Recognition (PIR) Request for Information (RFI). Unidentified and misidentified prescription pills present challenges for individuals and professionals. Unidentified pills can be found by family members, health professionals, educators, and law enforcement. The nine out of 10 US citizens over age 65 who take more than one prescription pill can be prone to misidentifying those pills.

If you've spent any notable amount of time on the Alliance website perusing its content, you've undoubtedly come across the keyword "OpenVX". This API, developed by the Khronos Group (which also develops the well known OpenGL, OpenCL and other API specifications), a standard for cross platform acceleration of computer vision applications. OpenVX enables power efficient vision processing with a focus on mobile and embedded systems.

The Embedded Vision Alliance, in partnership with Apress Media LLC, is pleased to provide you with a free electronic copy of the newly published book "Computer Vision Metrics," by Scott Krig, and published on the Alliance website. The Alliance will be periodically publishing new book chapters in both HTML and PDF formats, whose links you'll find here.
June 4, 2014
To date, the Embedded Vision Alliance sponsored and otherwise participated in plenty of "physical" events, such as last week's Embedded Vision Summit. It's also been involved in multiple webinars and other online events. But on the latter front, it hasn't yet tackled a Google+ Hangout...until later this month, that is.
May 23, 2014
The Embedded Vision Summit West is less than a week away, on May 29 (at the Santa Clara California Convention Center) to be exact, and attendee registrations are really starting to pour in. As I've mentioned before, last year's event sold out, so to avoid being one of those turned away, I'd encourage you to get your own registration in right away.

How does Nerve Root work?Nerve root might act as a drying agent to help shrink blood vessels.
Are there safety concerns?Nerve root is POSSIBLY UNSAFE for most people when taken by mouth. It can cause hallucinations, giddiness, restlessness, headache, skin irritation, and other side effects.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: It is POSSIBLY UNSAFE to take nerve root if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Don't use it.

WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University football team (1-7, 0-2 Patriot League) scored early, but could not keep pace with the Colgate Raiders (3-5, 2-0) in its 34-14 loss on Saturday afternoon at Multi-Sport Field.
Sophomore quarterback Kyle Nolan (Branford, Conn./Choate Rosemary Hall) completed 23-of-46 passes for 256 yards with one touchdown pass and a rushing touchdown in his second start of the season. Senior wide receiver Zack Wilke (Boca Raton, Fla./St. Andrew's) led the Hoyas with eight catches for 117 yards, including a 55 yard touchdown reception on the Hoyas first offensive possession.
Junior linebacker Patrick Boyle (Wheaton, Ill./Benet Academy) had a career-high 15 tackles, while senior safety Stephen Atwater (Duluth, Ga./Peachtree Ridge) had 10 tackles and an interception for the Hoyas.
Colgate wasted little time getting on the scoreboard, as Demetrius Russell capped an eight-play opening drive with a one-yard touchdown plunge. The missed extra point put the Raiders in front, 6-0 with 11:12 remaining in the first quarter.
Georgetown responded on the ensuing drive. A penalty put the Hoyas in a third down and 13 situation, but Nolan found Wilke over the middle for a 55 yard touchdown pass, GU's longest offensive play of the season. Matt MacZura's extra-point gave GU a 7-6 lead with 9:11 remaining in the first quarter. But the Hoyas would not reach the end zone again until the third quarter.
Colgate regained the lead on the following drive, as a four-yard touchdown pass from Gavin McCarney to C.J. Stempeck gave the Raiders a 13-7 lead with 6:20 left in the first quarter. A Georgetown fumble deep in Colgate territory set up the Raiders next drive, as McCarney rushed in from the 12-yard line to complete an 11 play drive to take a 20-7 lead early in the second quarter. The Raiders scored once more before the end of the half, as McCarney completed a five-yard pass to John Maddaluna to take a 27-7 lead going into the locker rooms.
Colgate missed a short field goal and Chad Coleman recovered a fumbled punt at the Colgate 46 yard line early in the third quarter, but GU was unable to take advantage until Atwater's interception inside Colgate territory.
Nolan followed with a 24-yard completion to Jake DeCicco. He then rushed down to the six-yard line to set up his own touchdown run, bringing the score to 27-14 with 2:29 left in the third quarter.
Colgate would seal the game early in the fourth quarter, as McCarney capped a nine-play drive with a four-yard touchdown pass to Maddaluna to take a 34-14 lead, the eventual final score.
Georgetown remains home at Multi-Sport Field on Saturday, November 2 when they host Lafayette College on Senior Day. The 1:05 p.m. kick-off will be the final home game of the 2013 season for Georgetown.

New Commenting System for My Blog - Easier Now
Go ahead and try it anyone who had trouble before. Through the years several people have complained that they have difficulty commenting on my blog and finally when one of my blog friends, Peggy Hardaway from Buttoni's Low-Carb Recipes Blog could no longer easily comment, I decided to contact the clever guy, Bruce, at Google and he suggested I use Disqus.

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have added the Mercer Bears to their 2016 football schedule, Tech athletic director Mike Bobinski announced today.
Georgia Tech will host Mercer at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta on Sept. 3, 2016. The game will be the season-opener for both schools.
"We are pleased to add Mercer to our 2016 football schedule," Bobinski said. "This is part of an ongoing effort to support and accentuate college football in the state of Georgia. Our yearly contest with Georgia and the addition of Georgia Southern and Mercer helps us meet that objective."
Georgia Tech played their first ever college football game against Mercer way back in 1892. The Bears won that contest 12-6, but then fell to the Yellow Jackets in the next 11 meetings.
"We are excited to play a great institution like Georgia Tech," said Mercer Director of Athletics Jim Cole. "The Yellow Jackets have a rich history of excellence in academics and athletics and we are thrilled to renew a football tradition that dates back over 100 years."
Mercer, which is rebooting their football program this season after a 72-year hiatus, will be a member of the Southern Conference in the FCS. The Bears open the season against Reinhardt on Saturday, Aug. 31.
Update (8/13/13)
Per a copy of the contract, Georgia Tech will pay Mercer a $300,000 guarantee for the game.
Mercer also has to certify in writing prior to Aug. 1, 2015 that they will average 90% of the permissible number of grant-in-aid per year over a rolling two-year period, to satisfy the provisions of NCAA Bylaw 184.108.40.206.1.
We're the Ramblin' 'reck
from Georgia Tech
and we're gonna play Mercer
'til we find someone worser
Mercer!!?? Oh mercy. Obviously a $$$ game for Mercer's upstart program. Need to think about playing in city rival GA State from Sunbelt Conf. That would make more sense. They are in Div I now
Go ahead and schedule Olgethorpe! One question, WHY???????????????
2016 is the 100 year anniversary of the thriller between Georgia Tech and Cumberland. Shouldn't they give Cumberland a chance to avenge that 222-0 squeaker?
And before you point out that Cumberland doesn't have a football program, keep in mind that they didn't really have one in 1916 either.
Right on, Bill! Right now Cumberland and Alabama have something in common – namely that Georgia Tech won't play either of them! Ga Tech cancelled games with Bama this year and in 2014. Cumberland approached Tech about a 10/7/16 game and TECH WANTS NO PART OF CUMBERLAND. Reportedly Cumberland offered to throw in a baseball game to let Tech baseball a rematch of the spring 1916 game that saw them lose to, eh, some team wearing Cumberland uniforms by a 22-0 score.
And yes, Cumberland is playing football now and should be NCAA Division II by 2016, so throw out the "won't play NAIA teams" excuse. Mottos being thrown around up here are "Atlanta – home of two great chickens – Chick-Fil-A and Ga. Tech Football," and "Hear my bark, feel my bite, Ramblin' Wreck is now in sight."
Will Georgia Southern count as an FCS opponent next season as if so they will be playing 2 D1AA teams again. Hope the AD realizes you can only count one FCS win towards a bowl game so the 2nd one is a waste of a game much less a ripoff to the season ticket holders.
Kevin, The Sun Belt is FBS in name only. From a SOS standpoint, Georgia Tech would get a tougher game from a FCS team.
Brad, Southern has lost in the FCS semifinals the last 3 or 4 years… so really only 2 or 3 FCS programs are better than Southern.
I've heard that GT is in discussion to play St. Olaf's in 2018 and Bemidji St. in 2019. Let's see if those contracts get signed. The ACC is such a farce when it comes to football. Is Clemson playing Wofford or the Citadel this year? I can't wait for the playoffs in the next few years and the first team that goes 12-0 and doesn't make them because their non-conference sched was abysmal. It is the only way these schools will change. Maybe it would be best for college football if the five BCS conferences form their own division and then only schedule within their own division.
Show me a team that doesn't schedule FCS teams on the regular. I dare you.
@josh…Notre Dame
@ Josh USC and UCLA
Penn St., buddy.
Hawaii, buddy.
Penn State played Coastal Carolina in 2008; Eastern Illinois in 2009; Youngstown in 2010; Indiana State in 2011.
and Hawaii played Weber in 2008, Central Arkansas in 2009Charles Southern in 2010 and Lamar in 2012; and they play Northern Iowa next year.
Oops I mean
Penn State played Coastal Carolina in 2008; Eastern Illinois in 2009; Youngstown in 2010; Indiana State in 2011.
and Hawaii played Weber in 2008, Central Arkansas in 2009Charles Southern in 2010 and Lamar in 2012; and they play Northern Iowa next year; Buddy
I was referring to this year only for Penn St. and Hawaii. However, looking at future schedules, Penn St. plays no FCS schools and Hawaii has only Northern Iowa on their's for the future. Far less than what the ACC has.
For you being a smart @$$ about Clemson football, they have CMU scheduled but canceled when the ACC went to 9 games to reserve UGA. Then they went back to 8 so they had to schedule someone (SCST). And you wanna talk about strength of of schedule? A top 5 Georgia team and maybe a top 5 but defiantly Top 10 South Carolina team on the road. Before you talk, you you're facts before you sound ignorant.
I wish that they would schedule Coastal Carolina! I understand that there is a mounting tide of interest in that game.
Only mounting Tide in college football right now is based out of Tuscaloosa. Roll Tide Roll.
Before everyone blindly accuses a team they know nothing about for scheduling a soft team,
GT in 2015:
at Notre Dame
GT in 2016:
at Georgia
GT in 2017:
at Ole Miss
GT in 2018:
Ole Miss
at Georgia
The Alabama series is pending.
Quite a bit of SEC in there. Weird.
Harrison, Kennesaw Mountain and a few other area High Schools have opening! Come on Teach give them a shot
Kevin, I noticed on Georgia Tech's future schedules page you have the Mercer game date as TBA, but in the article it says Sept 3, 2016.
Mercer going 10 and 2 in their first season (NCAA, Division 1 record for first year program) who
had over 90% freshman, will be a senior talented team in 2016. Georgia Tech, do not take them lightly.
Duke took Mercer lightly….
FYI: Mercer was the very first football team Tech ever played, way way back in 1890-something. This has historic context and value beyond "instate cupcake." Just sayin'.

Their advertising is that at $7.95 they are the lowest traffic school in Florida. My total cost $37.95. I doubt very much that at $37.95 they are the lowest price. Even charged $9.75 to email the certificate. One should always be suspicious of a business that represents one price but you end up paying a price almost 5 times higher. Try another school. Also, I never did get the certificate in the mail? Its also costing me $23.00 for another issue that is directly related to their service.

James Osborne
Year: 2012
Affiliations: Near Eastern Studies
Project Description
James Osborne comes to Hopkins after serving as the 2011–12 Postdoctoral Scholar for the Institute of European and Mediterranean Archeology (IEMA) at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He received his PhD in 2011 from the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization at Harvard, focusing on the archaeology of the Levant, with a thesis on Spatial Analysis and Political Authority in the Iron Age Kingdom of Patina, Turkey, which was awarded with distinction. He already has one book in press with Wiley-Blackwell—Territoriality in Archeology (Archeological Papers of the American Anthropological Association)—and another edited work under contract with SUNY Press: Approaching Monumentality in the Archeological Record. These join eight articles either published or in preparation. In addition, there is a collection of essays stemming from his thesis that examine the Iron Age culture of the Syro-Hittites of the eastern Mediterranean. It is currently being considered for publication by Cambridge University Press. One of the dominant themes of the book is the diasporic origins of the Iron Age political system of the ancient Near East, a system in which competing ethnicities and cultural identities, he demonstrates, never lie far below the surface of the city-states' self-portrayal as politically homogeneous.
A basic component of all his work is his insistence that ancient polities, unlike the idealized nation-state of today, did not necessarily use land and territory as a means to and justification for the exercise of power. Thus, in exploring the Syro-Hittite kingdoms at the dawn of the Iron Age (ca. 1200 BCE), he shows that diaspora was not only an important component of the rise of the state at this time but both an unavoidable and, indeed, defining one. These ancient city-states emerged as amalgams of different cultural groups. In the Levant after 1200 BCE, peoples as diverse as the Luwians from Anatolia, Aramaeans from inland Syria, and Philistines and other Sea Peoples from the Aegean congregated there, adjoining the neighboring kingdoms of Israel and Judea in this city-state system. Inscriptions from the period, no matter what the language, tend to present the travails of migration as a crucial element in the ideological narratives of political legitimacy, a prime example of which is the Exodus story of Israelites in the Hebrew Bible, whose decades of wandering in the desert preceded their re-territorialization in the Holy Land. At stake in these studies is the question of the role ethnic identity played in the creation of political institutions and the formation of "landscapes of power" during this formative era of western civilization.
While at Hopkins, Osborne will continue to investigate the contradiction presented by ancient polities as politically coherent entities characterized by mixed diasporic origins, now specifically through an examination of material culture. Although archeologists tend to rely on material artifacts in their study of ancient cultures, they rarely have done so in order to excavate the diasporic character of the populations they study. Osborne will use material culture as a means to inquire whether the mixing of diasporic communities created a unified material culture that was a hybridization of all peoples, or whether one culture's assemblage of objects became the dominant material expression of that society. To find answers to these questions, he will explore the materials used by the various peoples settled in the Syro-Hittite world, including their pottery, sculpted works of art, jewelry, textiles, and buildings, all of which, he believes, constitute silent objects that nevertheless speak volumes about the cultural identity of their users.
His focus on the study of diaspora through materiality remains an underutilized approach in the examination of diasporic cultures and, from that perspective, his work has the potential to contribute to many disciplines in the humanities dedicated to an investigation of diasporic phenomena. The questions that he will ask of his material relate to issues of cultural identity and diaspora across a wide range of areas and peoples: How does a diasporic community's relationship with the physical world around them change when they finally achieve some degree of political stability? How do these communities change when they come into contact with each other? How do rulers and subjects negotiate their relationship if and when the former is using diasporic narratives to legitimize their subjugation of the latter? In that sense, his work promises to add a new perspective to the program on concepts of diaspora by elucidating the centrality and value of studying diaspora through the lens of materiality.

Ness yawl sailor wins Classic Boat Person of the Year Award
by Nancy Knudsen on 16 Apr 2013
Giacomo De Stefano - has won Classic Boat 'Person of the Year' Award. .. .
In February we wrote of an inspirational sailor who sailed a wooden 5.6m Ness Yawl from Istanbul to London, overcoming a multitude of privations. (See http://www.sail-world.com/index_d.cfm?nid=106490!Sail-World_story). Now that sailor, Giacomo de Stefano, has won 'Person of the Year' in the Classic Boat Awards, and honoured in the awards ceremony this week. Here, we reproduce his acceptance speech, read by his friend Alireza Iravani, which explains, in part, why this sailor deserved his award:
Ladies and Gentlemen,
For me, it is a very emotional moment to receive this prestigious award, and I am so sorry not to be there with you tonight.
First of all I would like to thank the air, the water, animals and all the people who helped me to complete this project successfully. A special thank goes also to The Classic Boat staff, Dan Houston, Steffan Meyric Hughes, Adrian Morgan, and all others.
It's hard to believe that a mountain boy like me which for years, used to dream of beautiful wooden boats published in The Classic Boat, to be voted as the person of the year by the addicted readers of that sort of Classic Wooden Boat Addicts' 'Porn Magazine'!
And a particular thanks goes to Mr Iain Oughtred who designed the Ness Yawl. Malgrè moi she was able to reach safe and sound to Istanbul.
I am water, we all are at least 70% water. That includes the alcohol rate which, I guess, will be higher later on tonight!
My trip was a great chance to learn how beautiful is to sail, row and live peacefully in harmony with the nature and human beings. No tricky engine, no electric stuff, no nonsense.
This voyage was more than having fun on a beautiful boat. It was living with less. And with less, I learned, we can do more.
Please, just consider one moment about what can be done for this 'miracle' called Planet Earth, with boats, possibly, clean boats.
After the conclusion of the Man on the River project we have learned that more than 50 families established their own activity, working with nature, not against it, along the Riverbanks of Europe. For me and for all my team this is a great achievement.
So, thanks again to everybody. I would be happy to meet you, have a chat, or just row or sail. Just call me.
I'll be sailing or working on the water somewhere.
Be water my friends. And please drink whatever you like tonight.
Giacomo De Stefano

The talk is part of the Science Café program sponsored by the Center for Science, Ethics and Public Policy (SEPP) at the University of Delaware.
Wunsch served as president of the Association of American State Geologists (AASG), which represents the state geologists of all 50 states and Puerto Rico. The AASG has been around about 105 years, and is one of the oldest scientific associations in the U.S.
State geologists are some of the oldest established state government positions in their states, with many first appointed in the early 19th century to look for resources and mineral wealth, which drove the economies of the day.
Many state surveys predate the formation of the more well-known U.S. Geological Survey (established in 1872), and many prominent programs USGS programs were instigated or conducted in cooperation with the state geologists. One example is the national topographic mapping program, which got its start from a meeting of a few state geologists with President Teddy Roosevelt.
The Science Café events allow students, faculty and community members to discuss various scientific issu

"Last year Nokia NOK -0.97% parted ways with its luxury handset division, Vertu, selling it to a private equity firm. Now it is Vertu's turn to part ways with Nokia.
"Vertu decided to build a phone running Google Inc. GOOG -0.22%'s Android operating system, citing Google's superior mobile ecosystem as one of the main reasons. The newly launched Vertu TI, as the new handset is called, is most likely the most expensive Android device on the market, with the most affordable Vertu TI version retailing for around $10,000.
"...Android was preferred to Windows Phone, saying it offers a richer mobile ecosystem and greater options for customization."

I have been cooking professionally for over 30 years now and I am still discovering new and wonderful things about food! I think that I probably have a lighter touch in my cooking now, less anxious to impress I suppose and more trusting in my approach. Cooking is now more in my fingertips and less in my head.
I recommend that you come and have lunch, and do a cooking class with me, it is a fun and very tasty way to spend half a day!
The Sacred Chef is dedicated to making food a magical experience. He would like to reinstate the cook as alchemist/artist within our pantheon of gods (he never watches Masterchef and despairs of cooking competitions as anathema to what cooking is really about – sharing of course!). He would love to help reduce humanity's addiction to processed and fast foods; share new and recently rediscovered nutritional information – which can reinvigorate our health. Go boldly forth, where no one has gone before ………..(you get the idea Mr Spock)
The Sacred Chef invokes the age old tradition of the kitchen being at the centre of all things – and a place where healing can happen. This website offers recipes, reviews and articles, which may offer approaches for better health, longevity, love and libido.
In addition to all the hot air I cook some yummy food and am all about making occasions very special. Food is about sharing and celebrating having a body, which can swoon to the sensual experience of taste and fulfillment. Bon appetit.

An Experts' Group of Four Proposes Formation of Government Commission for the Khudoni HPP Project
The group, comprised of Levan Kalandadze, Irakli Lekvinadze, Levan Alapishvili and Giorgi Abashishvili came forward with a proposal to the PM regarding a special work group on Khudoni HPP issues to be formed. This was stated in a letter addressed to the PM. The individual statements from the experts are as follows:
Irakli Lekvinadze, expert in economic matters: "We're frequently criticized for only counting the numbers and never looking past them. Which we of course do, we count the numbers we may receive as a benefit, as we count certain losses which may follow the project initiation. However, if we look at the issue from a more global standpoint, the Khudoni topic is critical and problems in this project will absolutely cause similar problems in any small, large or medium-level projects which will originate in Georgia and be initiated from the investor's or government's side. And so it's essential to create a government commission which will coordinate efforts on this highly significant project."
Levan Kalandadze, Georgian Infrastructural Projects Initiative: "Improving Georgia's investing environment is the primary challenge of our society and government. We consider that professional discussions and activity coordination on one of the most important projects as of today, the Khudoni HPP, should be conducted in an investor council format. And hence we consider forming a government commission, which will include a group for communing with the investor, population and interested public, as the most effective instrument in this regard."
Giorgi Abashishvili, Doctor of Business Administration: "Following the matters of increasing production, decreasing unemployment and improving the quality of living, it's topical to achieve energetic sustainability once import will decrease and be replaced by a growth in export, possible by rationally utilizing local energy resources. In the end, the attractiveness of Georgia's economic and business environment, democratic leadership and regulations are entirely defined by energy development. The Khudoni HPP project is pivotal in this regard, and this is exactly why we urge the government, the Premier Minister, to form a special government commission which will discuss every issue pertaining to this project."
Levan Alapishvili, leader of the "Future Initiatives" centre: "the Khudoni HPP is the government's first challenge not only in terms of investing, finances and economics, but also in terms of the rule of law, of equality in light of the law, and ensuring of human rights. Which is why the format we're proposing will bear much importance in effectively resolving technical hurdles regarding the Khudoni project."

There was a noticeable number of empty seats in humid, humbling Salvador for a quite astonishing afternoon that saw the Netherlands shred Spain with several rounds of grapeshot. It was a pity because those who managed to wash up at the 55,000-capacity Arena Fonte Nova witnessed moments of real heritage - memories that could perhaps be recalled as poignant hours, days, weeks and years from now.
Who knows what the future will bring for two nations defined by their sporting riches with the round ball - in football, soothsayers tend to be ill-advised - but these were some seismic happenings on day two of Brazil's World Cup finals. At least it felt that way.
Robin van Persie scored the type of goal that will be recalled in World Cup folklore, but the match will be remembered as much as a night when a side of true greats were humbled, and humiliated. Perhaps like never before. This was not a defeat, more a disemboweling. It was the evening an ensemble cast from Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City died with their boots on.
Not only did Louis van Gaal's Dutch lot recover from trailing 1-0 to complete a 5-1 mauling, but they may well have brought a sparkling six-year period of Spanish domination at tournament football to an end. This will leave mental scars. It must.
Starting at 2008 in the European Championship under the late Luis Aragones, Vicente del Bosque's side have been all-conquering in clasping the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012 trophies to add to their trinkets garnered in Austria-Switzerland, but their prospects of a fourth straight title look bleak after suffering what amounted to GBH by a country who tried to kick them off the park in losing the final of this tournament four years ago.
All those goings on seemed a long time ago with Andres Iniesta cutting a different, less sprightly figure from the bloke who sunk the only goal back in extra-time in South Africa. With both teams in changed strips, these were changed days. If this was about revenge, it could not have been executed with any more cunning. The murder was carried out while the defenceless victim watched.
No defending world champions have suffered such a heavy defeat in the history of World Cups.
It was not only the loss that was worrying, but the nature of the discarding that was most disconcerting for Spain in trying to move forward from a night that left this onlooker dazed.
Goodness knows how so many wonderful Spanish players over so many years must feel in South America.
There is more than a whiff of France at the 2002 finals about all of this. Back then the French came in as defending world and European champions, but went down 1-0 to Senegal in their opening match. They drew 0-0 with Uruguay second time out, but were clipped 2-0 by Denmark to depart in the group stage.
With Arjen Robben clubbing home two glorious goals on 53 and 80 minutes, and RvP proving himself to be a VIP with a couple on 44 and 72 minutes, the Dutch could easily have departed with a heftier win. 7-1 or 8-1 would not have flattered the Netherlands.
They were helped by opponents who looked like they had lead in their boots. Central defenders Gerard Pique and Sergio Ramos gave off the impression that they had just met in the changing room prior to the match with Robben and Van Persie leading them a merry dance as two rampaging Dutch forwards proved too much.
The other Netherlands goal should not have counted as Van Persie clearly fouled a toiling Iker Casillas in the air before Stefan de Vrij bundled his side's third goal on 64 minutes. Spain could hardly pinpoint that concession as the moment they unfastened.
Casillas presented Van Persie with his second when he failed to control a loose ball. He could be dropped in the next Group B match against Chile on Wednesday, but so could a few others.
And yet Spain had led. Diego Costa earned Spain the penalty when he was felled by De Vrij before Xabi Alonso slotted on 27 minutes.
Costa should have been red carded when he headbutted Bruno Martins Indi, but the Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli missed it. No surprise there the way this World Cup has been unfolding.
Dutch goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen saved a certain second goal from David Silva, before Van Persie scored with what could be best described as the thinking man's finish.
With Daley Blind coming up with the type of delivery over the top of the Spanish defence that seemed so high it could have attracted snow in steamy Salvadorn, Van Persie threw himself at the ball from just inside the Spanish area to send a quite glorious looping header over the grounded Casillas.
Many forwards would have taken a touch to try to finish, but not Van Persie.
Not only was it a goal of extreme quality, perhaps the most memorable from a Dutch forward since Dennis Bergkamp's goal for the ages against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup quarter-finals, it also changed the destination of the match.
#NED 5-1 #ESP Incredible scenes as the world champions just can't cope with BatVan and Robben. pic.twitter.com/fJSBS9tmRP
— Eurosport.com EN (@EurosportCom_EN) June 13, 2014
The rain was falling mostly on Spain as the much-maligned substitute Fernando Torres missed an open goal late on, but Spain were already treading water with Casillas making one notable stop from a thunderous Robben volley as the men in the white shirts continued to toil badly in marking space.
The Dutch meet Australia looking to make sure of a spot in the last 16. Manchester United supporters must like what they are getting from their new coach in Van Gaal. Especially in sensing his obvious rapport with Van Persie.
It is not yet all over for Spain, who are now fourth favourites at 12-1 behind Brazil, Argentina and Germany if you fancy a slice of the action, but they need to compose themselves quickly to make sense of what just went on.
Nights like these do not come along too often.

Justin Bieber's Home Skate Ramp Features Miley Cyrus' Face [PHOTO]
And yet another way that Miley Cyrus' tongue has been immortalized.
And yet another way that Miley Cyrus' tongue has been immortalized.
Oh, look! It's Miley Cyrus taking off her clothes for attention!
Although, to her credit, this time it's for a somewhat noble cause.
Miley Cyrus looks like she is growing out her pixie cut. The singer fashioned her locks into a chic, very Parisian, jaw-length bob with baby bangs a few inches above her eyebrows.
Is Miley Cyrus running out of ideas? The 'Wrecking Ball' singer recorded a video for Love magazine and, well, she got pretty graphic ... not that that's new. But this time, there was a twist.
You know how Miley Cyrus' pot-smoking, twerking, faux edginess seems, well, faux? According to one rapper, that's because it is. Tinie Tempah claims that Cyrus' new image is all fake -- and that she's doing it all 100 percent right.
A special surprise 21st birthday gift from her father is making Miley Cyrus into a motorcycle mama! But lest you think Billy Ray Cyrus has no regard at all for his celebrity daughter's safety, this particular motorcycle has three wheels.
Miley Cyrus and a crying cat avatar performed her powerhouse hit 'Wrecking Ball' at the 2013 American Music Awards. Hey, at least she left the life-sized bears, foam fingers and compulsion to twerk at home!
It was a trippy performance (Nov. 24), and it came the day after Miss Miley's 21st birthday.
The 2013 American Music Awards were rife with amazing performances from Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, One Direction, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Pitbull featuring Kesha and more. And you can catch them all here!
Poor Miley Cyrus! The 'Bangerz' singer had a huge scare yesterday (Nov. 22) when her home was burglarized. What happened?
Ariana Grande is sick of everyone hating on her pals Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, and she is not too shy to say so.
Miley Cyrus talks so much about "not giving a f---" that it's blatantly obvious she gives many f---s. But she may want to start, because Dutch officials are looking into her thirsty blunt-smoking publicity stunt from the 2013 MTV EMAs.
The world is getting its first peek at Miley Cyrus' upcoming Bangerz tour -- and it looks exactly like you think it would!

Hong Kong Film Festival Opens
Stars from around Asia hit the red carpet on Sunday night for the opening of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, which kicked off with the latest big-screen adaptation of kung fu master Ip Man.

Anthony Wong, who plays Ip Man in the newest version, led the cast on stage at Sunday's premiere, proclaiming to an enthusiastic audience, "This is the real Ip Man." The film takes place in Hong Kong in the 1950s, when Ip Man arrived from China and began teaching his wing chun form of kung fu to eager students. Director Herman Yau's vivid look at bygone era takes a nostalgic look at Hong Kong through the eyes of the working classes as they struggled for better lives.
Also Sunday night, stars joined Michelle Yeoh for a private party to help celebrate the career of the Malaysian actress. On Monday night, Ms. Yeoh will be honored with the Excellence in Asian Cinema Award at a ceremony for the Asian Film Awards.
"I am very pleased to have the chance to see so many film professionals and old friends," Ms. Yeoh said. "I believe that, together, our vivacity and creativity will further raise the international profile of Asian cinema."
Ms. Yeoh's career stretches from Hong Kong to Hollywood and covers three decades. She has starred in such films as the Academy Award-winning "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "Tai Chi Master" with Jet Li, the James Bond movie "Tomorrow Never Dies," and "The Lady," in which she played Burmese democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Stars helping Ms. Yeoh celebrate on Sunday night included Japanese actress Makiko Watanabe, Philippine actor Eddie Garcia, Hong Kong actor Kam Kwok-leung, "Lost in Thailand" director-actor Xu Zheng and Korean actress Cho Min-soo.

What is it? Information Technology Portfolio Management (IT PfM) is an effort to optimize DOD investments in information technology. By examining the entire enterprise and identifying similar IT assets the Army can provide maximum effectiveness to warfighters for the least possible cost, at a level of associated risk that is acceptable to the Nation. IT PfM is based on an iterative process of data collection, analyses, selection, and controls/feedback very similar to the process used by Wall Street to manage financial portfolios.
What has the Army done? The Army has implemented the Army Portfolio Management Solution (APMS) to facilitate collection and analysis of information necessary to prioritize the thousands of IT investments within its portfolio. IT investments are grouped according to the mission capabilities they support: Warfighter, Business and Enterprise Information Environment Mission Areas, each of which is led by a three- or four-star level general officer or senior executive.
IT Portfolio Management is closely aligned with enterprise architectures, which have been developed within the Business Mission Area. In the Warfighter and the Enterprise Information Environment Mission Areas, analyses have begun in select, high value areas such as Tactical Knowledge Management and Collaboration. Since the program's beginning in July 2005, the Army's capabilities-based IT PfM processes have helped to eliminate a large number of redundant systems. Evidence tells us we have much more to gain through our PfM efforts.
The Army's 17 Domains have developed Domain Transformation Plans consistent with Army's Enterprise PfM processes. The Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Army will endorse those Plans and the authority of Domain and Mission Area Leads to execute effective Portfolio Management, including system termination after appropriate review. Progress against these Plans is being measured at bi-annual Portfolio Reviews conducted by the Army's Portfolio Review Committee, as established by 5 January 2006 AKM Guidance Memorandum – Capabilities-Based Information Technology Portfolio Governance Implementing Guidance. Metrics associated with these Plans will feed the Army's Strategic Management System to ensure focus on and alignment to the Army's Mission and Overarching Interrelated Objectives.
What efforts does the Army plan to continue in the future? The Army's current focus is on selecting the areas with greatest possible impact to the warfighter, greatest potential savings from elimination of duplicative and redundant systems, and executing the intensive analysis required to optimize those areas.
Additionally, the Army is working with the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the other Services to institutionalize the IT PfM process, while simultaneously making it more effective and efficient by leveraging and integrating IT PfM with existing Defense processes. The Army IT PfM process is evolving from emphasis on individual systems to overall mission capability. As with any evolution, the maturity and completeness of IT PfM practices within the Army will develop over time. Transformation is a continuous process. The Domain Transformation Plans provide an initial baseline of the Army's IT Portfolio Management process; any future updates or modifications to of these Plans will be approved by the respective Mission Area Leaders.
Why is this important to the Army? Operating within the economic constraints defined by our National resources, the Army must adapt to overcome future threats and develop ways to win "the long war" against a continuously changing set of threats. This means the Army must be more agile, more flexible, and more cost-effective than it has ever been. However, warfighters cannot be any more agile or cost-effective than the infrastructure used to man, equip and train them. Therefore, Army Transformation requires an IT infrastructure which is more agile, flexible, and cost-effective, and therein lies the value of IT Portfolio Management. IT PfM is critical because it provides the mechanism by which the Army will achieve the agile, rapidly adaptable, and cost-effective IT infrastructure that is imperative to support our Soldiers.

Federal officials have a plan for managing water in the Middle Rio Grande Valley.
The Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released the details of this year's operating plan during a meeting Wednesday in Albuquerque.
The plan calls for keeping the Rio Grande from drying in stretches at least through June 15. There are also plans to release pulses of water from reservoirs upstream to help the endangered silvery minnow during spawning season.
Officials acknowledge water supplies are limited again this year thanks to below average snowpack in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico.
The latest forecast from the Natural Resources Conservation Service shows spring and summer stream flows in New Mexico will be less than half of average and in some cases less than 25 percent of average.
