Damas, Dramas, and Ana Ruiz by Belinda Acosta
Belinda Acosta has written a novel that can be used to give a thorough and thoughtful explanation to the question that is asked of Latinas time and again, "What is a quinceañera?" The answer is a simple one or so it may seem…, that of a girl's celebration of her 15th birthday in the Hispanic culture. A party likened to the coming of age tradition, a Sweet Sixteen, celebrated by many of the US Anglo culture. Yet Belinda has created a deeper appreciation as to what a coming of age Latino celebration truly is, and then some. Simply put, Belinda !se aventó! She has gone all out in giving an emotional, spiritual, and feminine Latina perspective of how it is and what it is to grow up in the US Hispanic culture.
A middle-aged, young Latina, educated, professional, confident woman, Ana Ruiz, fights to preserve her family, her career, her identidad. Every woman's story, right? Sure, although it has not been written, read, or experienced through a Latino lens, bi-culturally and bilingually. Ana Ruiz and her story may not be different but yet, it is. This is a story that will entertain and enlightened those that live a Latino experience as well as those curious about it.
Well written, effortlessly utilizing two languages, giving the unaware English reader a lesson in the Spanish language and Hispanic culture, Damas, Dramas, and Ana Ruiz will prove to be "the first prick into the cloth to embroider something big and complicated" in a series of Quinceañera Club Novels. Big, yes! Complicated, only in the sense that cultures are intricate as humans are wondrous beings, as well as curious. This late summer light read will not only settle the curiosity question of what a quinceañera is but also instigate a deeper understanding for your Latina neighbor.

Norwegian PM Has Eye On Aussie Gas
Considering the vast geographical distance separating both countries, Australia and Norway have more in common than you may think.
Both countries have relatively small populations and both are weathering the current global financial storm better than their peers mostly due to their respective wealth in resources. But unlike Norway, which has amassed one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds from its energy exports, Australia has so far avoided establishing a fund to capture the revenues from selling vast quantities of minerals and gas.
Deal Journal Australia caught up with Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg during his recent visit Down Under when he sketched out ideas of how mutual interest in energy and resources can provide a reason for both countries to work closer together in the future.
"One of the areas where there is great potential for developing further the cooperation between Australia and Norway is energy," Mr. Stoltenberg said in an interview. "Natural gas is one obvious area." He wants to foster closer ties for Norwegian companies with their Australian counterparts.
Other than meeting Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Mr. Stoltenberg took time during his visit to meet Peter Coleman, Chief Executive of Woodside Petroleum, Australia's second-largest oil and gas company after BHP.
"Even if Norway is a small country, we are big in energy," Mr. Stoltenberg said. "We have seen an enormous increase in energy demand, especially in Asia, and I believe that demand will continue while."
According to Mr. Stoltenberg Norway's involvement in Aussie energy projects could include exploration and development of offshore gas fields; production and transportation of liquefied natural gas, construction of platforms, subsea specialism, engineering services, rigs and other areas.
Given the growing international interest in investing in Aussie energy projects, could Norway be the latest country to join in the bonanza?

dont get me wrong. i love the woman. but get to my view point on this...
we live with his mother while we are trying to find a bigger home since we have the baby coming. i found one, perfect size & price & its in the same neighborhood as my grandparents & most of my dad's side of the family. kenny's mother, aunt & gma all live within 10 minutes also.

I work 40+ hours a week, she sits at home watching tv then complains when someone wont fix her plate for her. she is not old, she is not disabled or in any way uncapable of working. she's just lazy, one of those people that always have somethign wrong with them as to why they havent done anything all day.
i sent her a pic of the u/s wednesday AS SOON as we left the dr.
she deleted it. asked me on my way out the door yesterday a.m. to send it again. while im at work she has the nerve to text me "WHY HAVENT YOU SENT ME THE PICTURE!!!!!!"
um, im sorry i have a job and dont get to twiddle my thumbs and play on my phone all day.
& honestly, sending her a picture that i have ALREADY sent her once, was the farthest thing from my mind.

Read an Excerpt
On the morning of the day he disappeared, David Elliot awoke, as he did every weekday, at precisely 5:45 A.M.
Dave slid his legs out from beneath Pratesi sheets. He glanced neutrally at where his wife, Helen, lay curled into a small, tight ball, on the right-hand side of the bed. The Panasonic clock radio on her nightstand was set for 8:20. By the time she awoke to her more cultured business day, he'd be in his midtown office, hard at work.
He stepped into the closet and swept his Nikes, sweatsuit, socks, and headband off a shelf. Then, padding over to the long, low, far-too-modern bureauthe most recent fruit of Helen's obsessive redecoratinghe fumbled a fanny pack out of a drawer, dropping a rolled-up change of underwear and his wallet, keys, and gold Rolex President watch into it.
After visiting the guest bathroom to relieve himself and brush his teeth, he went to the kitchen. The Toshiba coffee maker's brew light glowed green. The timer's digital display read 5:48. He decanted the pot into a large enameled mug decorated with a picture of the 47 Ronin, the souvenir of a visit to the Sengakuji Temple during a business trip to Tokyo. He emptied the grounds from the brewer basket, filled the machine's reservoir, and reset the timer for 8:15. Helen needed her morning coffee just as much as he did. Or maybe more soHelen was far from sociable upon rising, and it was not until she opened the doors of her Lexington Avenue gallery that she put on her best behavior.
Warm, thick coffee slid down Dave's throat. He shivered with pleasure.
Something soft brushed his pajama leg. Dave reached down to tickle the cat's chin. "Bon matin, ma belle," he said, knowing that all cats speak French of preference. The cat, who was named Apache, arched her neck, stretched, and purred.
Helen loathed Apache's name. She had insisted more than once that Dave change it. Second marriages produce more compromises than first marriages. Dave knew that, and knew that he should accede to his wife's request. But a cat's name is a cat's name; it has nothing to do with its owner's wishes. And so after five years of marriage Dave still called the animal "Apache," while Helen (who, being blonde, was used to having her way) icily referred to it as "that cat."
On Saturdays and Sundays, Dave ran west, jogging across Fifty-seventh Street to Fifth Avenue, then north to Central Park. On those days, the running was purest pleasure. There were fewer menacing crazies on the streetor so it seemedand the runner could concentrate on running.
Less so the weekdays. No matter how you ran, no matter where you ran, watchfulness was called for. Certain blocks were to be avoided; alleys were a risk; none but the reckless jogged beneath bridges and overpasses; nor did the prudent begin their runs before dawn. On a morning run even a man like David Elliot, a man who did not have an enemy in the world, sometimes glanced warily over his shoulder.
His workday route took him east on Fifty-seventh to Sutton Place, then north on York Avenue until he reached a pedestrian bridge across FDR Drive. He ran up the path by the East River until he reached the high Nineties. Once there, he turned south again, retracing his steps. After crossing the bridge a second time, he jogged west to Park Avenue, and then south to the corner of Fiftieth and Park.
It usually was just after 7:00 A.M. when he entered his office.
As an executive vice president of his company, David Elliot was entitled to, and enjoyed, the perquisites of rank. His forty-fifth floor suite consisted of eight hundred square feet of expensively understated space, a walk-in closet, a discreet wet bar, and a full bathroom with tub and shower.
Dave liked his water hot. Steam filled the bathroom as he lathered himself from top to bottom twice over. Still in the shower, he took a Gillette safety razor and a can of shaving cream from the shelf above the spigots. He never used a mirror when shaving, and hadn't for so long he couldn't remember. It was another habit he had picked up in a war unwillingly remembered.
David Elliot, with a towel around his waist, stepped out of the bathroom and into his office. On the mahogany credenza behind his matching mahogany desk, a Toshiba brewer, the twin of the model at home, beeped three times, signaling that his coffee was ready. Dave filled a chocolate-brown mug with it. The cup was decorated with a raised, angular, silver-enameled design: the Senterex corporate logo.
Dave took a sip and sighed. Life without coffee is too awful to contemplate.
He noticed, damnit, that the watercolor over his credenza was askew. Every week or two, some dust-rag-wielding vandal from the nightly cleaning crew knocked the thing sideways. It was a minor irritation, but one that was growing in its power to annoy.
Almost invariably Dave was the first person in the officeor at least the first in the executive suite. Bernie Levy, master of the corporate ship, didn't show up until 8:00 or so, his limousine leaving Short Hills, New Jersey, at 6:50 sharp. The rest of the executive cadre drifted in between 8:15 and 8:45, depending on what train they caught from Greenwich, Scarsdale, or Darien, and always much conditional upon that train running on time. The first of the secretaries arrived at 8:30 punctually.
For this reason, Dave knew he could, as was his unvarying morning habit, lounge buck naked (but for a towel) at his desk, savoring the day's second cup of coffee, and studying the pages of The Wall Street Journal.
Several peaceful minutes later, with a third cup of coffee in his hand, he ambled into his walk-in closet to select his suit for the day.
Today he chose a lightweight tan, almost khaki, number. Although the brutal humidity of the past summer had broken, the late September weather was still warm. Dave's wool suits would remain on their hangers for a few weeks longer.
With suit pants donned and belted, and feet comfortably placed in soft, glove leather Bally loafers, Dave unwrapped a fresh, starched white shirt. He put it on, and after some consideration selected from his tie rack a pale yellow tie with a blue motif. A full-length mirror backed Dave's closet door. He pulled the door three-quarters closed so that he could study himself.
Never learned how to knot a tie without a mirror, did you? his guardian angel asked.
He looked himself over carefully. Not bad. Not bad at all. His waistline hadn't changed since college. Forty-seven years old, but looking younger than that. Oh, you handsome dog, you're going to live forever. Dave nodded as if in agreement. The daily jogging, the two nights a week workout with weights, no smoking but for an occasional and much prized cigar, a diet about which even Helen couldn't complain, alcohol comsumption that was modest by any...
The questioning voice came from the office behind himBernie Levy's voice, its gruff Brooklyn accent unmistakable. Dave glanced at his Rolex. 7:43. Traffic must have been light this morning. Senterex's chairman and CEO was in the office well ahead of schedule.
Dave shrugged on his jacket, nudged his tie knot imperceptibly to the left, and gripping his coffee cup, pushed open the closet door.
"Yes, Bernie. What's up?"
Bernie was facing away from the closet. Dave didn't see his gun until he turned around.

I started this book and couldn't put it down. I couldn't guess the ending, and I usually can. I want to read MORE about Dave!!!
I first read this book back in 1999. It blew me away! I tore through it within 3 days. The action and suspense make it so hard to put down. This novel had kind of a Die Hard meets Rambo feel to it, and I love the main character's sense of humor. This thing needs to hit the big screen, and soon!
This is one of the finest thrillers I've read. I read three to five books per week and needed a new author. I'd passed over Vertical Run when it first came out, but I loved it when I finally read it. The Viet Nam flashbacks are key to the character of the protagonist, providing insight into his current MO. He read beyond the obvious to achieve a successful result. Had the Viet Nam backstory not been broken up, it would have been too long. Like the movie True Lies, this book excellently mixes action and humor, instead of action and sex. My hat is off to Mr. Garber. Efficient, well-phrased prose. I'm looking for more. Somebody light a fire under this guy.
This is one of the best entertaining books on the market. Hope this author writes more and soon. Rates right up there with John Grishom's first book. Be sure to read Vertical Run, but if you are travelling take two books because you will finish this one quickly. Won't be able to put it down.
When I bought the book I was traveling and wanted something to read while in my room. Vertical Run kept me up all night burning from page to page. I finally finished it the next day and was not disappointed. I have read the book at least 5 times and still enjoy the thrill of the run. It was well written and kept you turning page after page to see what was going to happen next. I think the ending in the book leaves the reader the hope that there will be another sequel. Which has never happened. I have listened to the audio cassette book Vertical Run at least six (6) times and I enjoy it every time. I finally came on line to try and find a CD of the audio book since I don't have a cassette player in my truck. I read the one review where the writer really bashed the the story. He would probably be happier reading the adventures of Donald Duck. This has to be one of the best thrillers I have read. Clive Cussler, Lee Child, Tom Clancy, W.E.B. Griffin are some of my favorite authors and I have been waiting for Garber to write a sequel or for a movie to come out. This is a must read book to hang on to.
Action, action , and more action. Some of it stetches the limits of believability, but there's so much punch that it doesn't really matter. There are plenty of twists -- a couple of them are a bit too convenient, but one is a terrifically unexpected doozy. Even with its shortcomings, I have to admit that I really enjoyed reading this book.
This is well written and has a great plot. This one has got to have a sequal. And I'm waiting for the movie.
Left you with many unanswered questions. A bruce willis movie ions. A
Action packed! Great explanations that didn't slow down the story. If you like thrillers that keep you guessing, and yes, take some poetic license but who cares! This is your book. I can see this on the big screen, it's perfect for a movie!
One of the few books that were hard to put down until it was finished. Loved it!!!
What a book! Why is this not a movie? I was so caught up in this book I neglected everything else! I definitely want to read more about Dave Elliot and hope the author writes a sequel
I had read this book when it first came out. Stayed up all night to finish it and was sorry when I did finish it, but it left me exhausted. What an energy rush of a story. Then bought the audio book for a road trip with my son. Some people get distracted by audio books when driving, they keep me alert. This one will want you to keepdriving until its done.
Excellent story, fast-paced plot. Dont know why this hasnt been made into a movie yet!!!!!!!!
I remember reading this book years ago, and looked for it a while back, but couldn't find it anywhere. I hope that the movie is as good as the book. It made my day to find it here.
I read this years ago and it felt like I was in a high action movie. I have been waiting for the e-book version so I could have it in my "keeper" library collection.
What a terrific 'sleeper' of a book; where has this author been? I am craving more of this author's work, but he isn't a very prolific writer. Ingenious, clever character development: the author allows us first person knowledge of the character's thought life. Don't miss this thriller - thoroughly satisfying and excitingly suspensful to the last page. What happened to the movie?
Time out! Call in sick to work, farm out the kids, turn off the phones- 'cos you won't want to do anything else while reading Vertical Run. I read Garber's latest, Whilrwind, first but actually preferred Vertical Run for its non stop action. The protagonist is think on your feet clever as he must stay alive and figure out why everyone he knows-and some he doesn't- wants to kill him. A thriller in the true sense of the word. Read it!
I've read a number of suspense-thrillers and this is by far the BEST page turner yet. Alot of books come close but Garber grabs you from the first few pages. You will read it front to back immediately. No 2hrs here, 2 hours there. I wish there were more titles by this author.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. I would give it about 3 1/2 stars for some of the action. However, there were parts when I thought I would cash it in and actually make it the first book in my life that I didn't finish. Too many flashbacks to Vietnam. Go back once to give the reader a foundation but that's all. You would get to a part that puts you on the edge of your seat and then...all of a sudden...YES...YES...without warning...the suspense is gone with another section on Mamba Jack. Borrow it from a library or a friend, but don't buy it.

Cyrano de Bergerac
by Edmond Rostand
Cyrano de Bergerac Lies and Deceit Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Line)
Quote #7
But Cyrano? What will you do to him?
Order him into danger? He loves that!
I know what I should do.
Leave him here
With his Cadets, while all the regiment
Goes on to glory! That would torture him—
To sit all through the war with folded arms—
I know his nature. If you hate that man,
Strike at his self-esteem.
Oh woman—woman!
Who but a woman would have thought of this?
He'll eat his heart out, while his Gascon friends
Bite their nails all day long in Paris here.
And you will be avenged! (III.99-110)
Love and deception are inseparable in Cyrano de Bergerac.
Quote #8
You love me then,
A little?...
(She smiles.)
Making my enemies your own,
Hating them—I should like to see in that
A sign of love, Roxane.
Perhaps it is one…(III.110-113)
Roxane's conversation with de Guiche is much like the "I love someone" conversation she had with Cyrano in Quote #5.
Quote #9
—Oh, but to-night, now, I dare say these things—
I… to you… and you hear them!... It is too much!
In my most sweet unreasonable dreams,
I have not hoped for this! Now let me die,
Having lived. It is my voice, mine, my own,
That makes you tremble there in the green gloom
Above me (III.328-334)
Here we see that Cyrano takes pride in winning Roxane over—even though he can't have her himself. His line "It is my voice, mine, my own / that makes you tremble" suggests that this knowledge is enough for him.

Atmel Corporation has announced it is cutting 11% of its North American workforce. And that includes cuts in Colorado Springs.
Atmel officials says this equals 275 jobs - 249 of those job cuts would occur at Atmel's factory in Colorado Springs.
Atmel says the cuts will cost $4 million in severance expenses, but will save the company $18 million a year moving forward.
In a written release, Atmel cited global economic weakness and a rapid slowdown in the demand across the semiconductor industry as the main reasons for the cutbacks.
Atmel is estimating some big drops in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2008. They expect a 12 to 18 percent decline from the third quarter.
"Atmel, like many companies in our industry, is seeing the effects of the broader economic decline, particularly in our memory and automotive product lines," said Steven Laub, Atmel's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"We believe the actions we are taking to reduce costs and manufacturing capacity, together with our previously announced transformation plan, will mitigate these market challenges and support Atmel's continued product leadership and market share gains."
Other money-saving steps include a 10-day shutdown for non-manufacturing employees, a hiring freeze for non-critical positions, and strict controls on discretionary spending.
These moves are in addition to an 11-day shutdown of the manufacturing facilities in Colorado Springs, which had already been announced.
Atmel describes itself as "a worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of microcontrollers, advanced logic, mixed-signal, non-volatile memory and radio frequency (RF) components."

Details released in Alaska serial killer's suicide
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Alaska State Troopers say a man who killed himself after confessing to multiple murders across the country died in his Anchorage jail cell after cutting a wrist and using bedding material to strangle himself.
Troopers say the state medical examiner hasn't determined what injury was the primary cause of Israel Keyes' death.
Keyes was found dead in his cell Sunday morning. Blood-soaked papers that appeared to have writing on them also were found, and have been turned over to the FBI.
Keyes was awaiting a March trial in the death of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig. Authorities say he abducted Koenig in February from the Anchorage coffee stand where she worked.
Investigators say Keyes sexually assaulted Koenig and strangled her, then left her body in a shed while he went on a cruise. They say he dismembered the body when he returned two weeks later.MORE IN This Just InSARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.

Chaim Noy's new book, Thank You for Dying for Our Country: Commemorative Texts and Performances in Jerusalem, was recently released by Oxford University Press. In the book, Chaim examines a commemorative visitor book that is located in a national military site in Jerusalem, Israel. The book combines ethnographic approaches to language and to writing (and reading), with a semiotic analysis of the museum in which the visitor book is located, and a discursive-textual analysis of visitors' texts. The book depicts how identity and commemoration are actually being performed.
Rachel Dubrofsky's co-edited collection with Shoshana Magnet, Feminist Surveillance Studies, will be released by Duke at the end of May. The introductory sections are now available online and can be accessed by clicking here.The collection contends that questions of gender, race, class, and sexuality have been left largely unexamined in surveillance studies. Contributors provide new directions for analyzing surveillance, using feminist theory to expose the ways in which surveillance practices and technologies are tied to systemic forms of discrimination that serve to normalize whiteness, able-bodiedness, capitalism, and heterosexuality.

AQUAMANIA is a PADI Scuba Dive Centre based in the Vaal Triangle, South Africa providing training, gear sales, servicing and a very active social diving group. Conrad Lamont, the founder of AQUAMANIA, qualified as a PADI Open Water Diver in January 1996. After 12 years and many underwater adventures he met his lovely wife Fiona on a Basslake dive and together they decided to start a social scuba diving club. The rest as they say is history.
AQUAMANIA is a family orientated dive school that prides itself on quality rather than quantity. We prefer to keep our classes small and place our passion for the sport into our training. Our aim is to produce good, safe and responsible divers. Our team members are calm, caring and knowledgeable and strive to train, assist and prepare divers to the best of their abilities.
With our passion for diving we also run a very active social club, with both divers and non- divers alike joining us for various activities and adventures. We host two major charity events annually, namely the Dive- A- Thon and the Ice Breaker, details of which can be found at www.dive4c.co.za.
We are committed to providing a professional service, to teach according to the International PADI standards and to promote safe and fun scuba diving. We look forward to welcoming into our scuba diving world.
Here are some reasons to dive with Enriched Air Nitrox
1. Longer Bottom Times: Recreational nitrox (21 - 40% oxygen) contains a lower percentage of nitrogen than air. The reduced percentage of nitrogen in recreational nitrox allows divers to extend their no-decompression limits (or dive time) by reducing nitrogen absorption – the less nitrogen there is in a diver's breathing gas, the slower his nitrogen absorption will be at a given depth.

Mayhem # 1400605
About MeI'm confident and easy-going. It's very natural to me to be in front of a camera. I'm punctual, professional, and I take direction well. I'm open-minded and love hearing new ideas and making statements with photos. I take what I do very seriously and I always do my best to give the photographer my all. I have a few scars on my arms, and they're a serious insecurity of mine. But if you're okay with the scars, so am I.
As far as compensation goes, my rates are as follows:
$50/hr for standard shoots (i.e. clothed)
$80/hr for bikini/swimwear
$100/hr for lingerie & implied nudity
Anything more than lingerie/implied will need to be discussed and considered on a case-by-case basis.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anything. I'm an open book. Thank you for taking the time to look at my page, and I look forward to working with you!
I just now re-activated my ModelMayhem page. It's been about 8 months or so since I've used it. I've decided to slowly get back into modeling, and I'd love the opportunity to do some shoots to update my book and get some inspiration. Thank you!

Dr. Peter Hammond has written a challenging new book entitled, Character Assassins: Dealing With Ecclesiastical Tyrants and Terrorists. Those who have experienced such character assassinations will be greatly helped by this book and the many anecdotal stories that it relates.

STOCKTON - A fight in the parking lot of the Holiday Cinema in the 6200 block of West lane late Sunday led to gunshots being fired but no one was injured, police reported.
Officers were called to the movie theater on the report of a large fight where gunshots were heard. They reported that theater security observed a fight between two juveniles in the parking lot at 11:37 p.m., with a large crowd standing around watching.
One person, reportedly a male juvenile, left the crowd and got into a white four-door sedan and, as he drove onto West Lane, an occupant in his car started shooting into the crowd.
Police did not report how many people were in the crowd of onlookers.
STOCKTON - Police Officer Dana Mosher is now Sgt. Dana Mosher, promoted Monday during a ceremony presided over by Chief Eric Jones.
Mosher started his career with the Stockton Police Department as a trainee in January 2003 and by August that year started in patrol. He has also worked as a field training officer and with the Mobile Field Force.
In 2009, Mosher earned the Department Recognition Award for his actions during an active shooting incident that led to two victims surviving.
According to a department statement, he proved over the years to be a "proactive, highly motivated" officer who often demonstrated leadership skills on his shift.
He has earned his intermediate and advanced certificates from the Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training.

After FDA approval for its flagship product Qsymia (phentermine and topiramate ER), we saw very strange market activity in shares of Vivus Pharmaceuticals (VVUS), which was the first company to step foot into the coveted prescription obesity drug market in many years. Since the FDA decision on July 17, VVUS managed to drop almost 32% in value.
About half of the drop can be attributed to the ~12% move downwards on September 21 (plus subsequent declines), reacting to Vivus' press release stating that the European Medicines Agency was probably going to reject Qsymia for approval in the European Union.
VVUS declined until it hit its new price floor of $18/share, then stayed quiet in anticipation of Qsymia sales data. Today (October 8th) the stock opened marginally higher, until we saw another press release which brought a huge wave of buyers.
The largest domestic pharmacy benefit manager, Express Scripts, has joined VVUS in its mail-only delivery network for Qsymia. While we aren't expecting sales figures that could immediately justify the ~$2 billion valuation of Vivus as a company, this is a somewhat bullish hint for the prescription obesity drug market as a whole. VVUS is moving up especially fast today, because its shareholders also want to see signs of Qsymia getting a head start on the upcoming competition from Arena Pharmaceutical's (ARNA) Belviq (lorcaserin).
Looking back, note that we actually saw the FDA approval for Arena's Belviq come first (it was announced on June 27th). Sadly, Belviq can't be put into the market until it is cleared by the DEA. This means that Qsymia's progress in the unexplored world of prescription obesity drugs will naturally have direct influence on shares of VVUS, and mixed effect on Arena's stock.
Qsymia's implied success would demonstrate that the obesity drug market is indeed full of sales revenue that is waiting to be made. On the other, there's an idea that these drugs will compete viciously for the new territory too.
Although there's no question that the two drugs will compete as they mature, I see any positive developments in VVUS as beneficial for ARNA for the time being. This brand-new drug market is so far from being saturated that competition can be called a non-factor. The takeaway? Here's your excuse to buy ARNA if you've been waiting - it's only up about 1.5%. The rally in VVUS, which is approaching 9.3% as I type this, is a bit daunting.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

GRANITEVILLE, S.C. (WRDW) -- Investigators are looking for the suspect in a shooting that happened in Graniteville on Monday.
The victim says he met the suspect on Facebook and they agreed to meet so the victim could sell his PlayStation 3.
According to the incident report, the victim got in the car to negotiate with the suspect in the parking lot of the New Hope apartments.
That's when the victim says the suspect pulled out a black handgun. A struggle ensued, and the gun went off, hitting the victim in the hand.
The victim got out of the car and ran away as the suspect drove off.
The suspect is described as a black male in his early 20s. He was driving a 90s model Honda Civic sedan.

The word Acapulco evokes thousands of years of history. Mexico's most famous beach, known as "the Pearl of the Pacific" has the best of everything, and is the setting for stories that have been written and some that are yet to be written, with you as the main character.
Most of the written history available begins after the conquest, when Hernan Cortez overthrew the Mexica Empire in 1521 and turned his attention to the region and its beautiful bay. Acapulco's climate, its beaches and mountain ranges have overwhelmed everybody who has visited the site, from famous pirates such as Sir Francis Drake to kings like Edward VII of England, who visited Acapulco during a fishing trip. Singers and actors, politicians, writers and other famous personalities, as well as more modest individuals, have also distinguished Acapulco with their presence. This touristy destination is a unique dream-like place that no one should miss.
Bloody battles were fought here to win its coasts and all of them were witnessed over the years by the fort of San Diego and its rich history.
The name Acapulco comes from the Nahuatl language and it is made up of the words acatl reededs were cleared. Although Acapulco has had other names, its indigenous name has remained.
Acapulco's beaches provide a variety of entertainment options that make a tourist's stay extremely pleasant. Most of the beachfront establishments include restaurants, transport, and hire of beach chairs, parasols, lifeguards, life vests, visors, and surfboards, in addition to rowing boats, sailing boats or motorboats. All beaches have showers, changing rooms, restrooms and security personnel. So, why not visit the so-called American Riviera?

Sadly version .6 is broken - only one widget is created. This used to work in earlier versions.
Unfortunately, I cannot help. This note is only to reinforce that others are experiencing the same problem.
Love the plug-in, just needs a tweak to respond to the WP 2.8 upgrade.
As always, the WP community has bailed me out. I found a great little fix authored by JConroy. Neatly provides an easy to use work around. Proper credit can be found at his firm's site: http://findingsimple.com
The fix can be downloaded from here: http://findingsimple.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=1
Thank you so much.
I downloaded the php file - but where might I put it? Which folder should it go in to?
It goes into the plugin folder.
Thanks all & findingsimple.com. I wondered why it wasn't working right. Now it is good :-)
downloaded the plugin fix and uploaded in the php file in to plugins/ad-minister
Is there any thing else that needs to be done, still not seeing the other ad spaces appear within the widgets page...
Use the Add New option in Widgets in your WP Admin window. The download you have is a regular plugin (don't FTP it to the plugins folder). Once installed you will see the widget.
Thanks to the folks at http://findingsimple.com for sharing.
JBirkes, you're a god, much thanks!
Thanks for the praise guys - glad to be of help!
I found a fix. I hope it will help you solve the problem.

Hello! I've trawled the last 20 or so pages on this forum and didn't find a thread like this already open, but please let me know if there is!
Since the initial installation about 7 months ago my site (www.inkyfingers.net) has been slow, excruciatingly slow: Close to 20 seconds to load front and back ends.
I've tried deactivating all plugins and reactivating one by one, but nothing seems to make any difference. Actually, I installed WP Total Cache and that actually made things even slower!
I hope someone can help me out... Any info you need I'll supply to the best of my ability, but I am not a WP whizz!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
