To make ordering the new MSU Denver logos easy and to assure that the parameters for logo use are followed, Marketing and Communications has set up an online logo request form on Brand Central.
This way, we can help clients get the quality they need in their printed pieces and on other products such as clothing and pens, says Ruth MGonigle, brand manager.
After a logo request is submitted, you will be contacted by MGonigle if there are any questions about usage, size limitations or issues about clarity or visibility.
Then, for quality assurance, faculty and staff are asked to send their printer and vendor proofs to MGonigle for approval before going forward.
Clients have had a little bit of trouble with the Roadrunner symbol, she says, because its tricky to reproduce correctly on dark backgrounds and when its engraved. By having us review your proofs, we can make certain that youre getting a quality product that meets our brand standards.
All print and digital materials with the old college wordmark or M-Bird logos need to be updated with new logos by June 30, 2013. MGonigle says its important that departments begin that work now so there is ample time for completion before the deadline.
Contact MGonigle at email@example.com or 303-556-5127 if you have questions.

Timeshare Resales
Timeshare resales are the best choice for vacationers. Not only do you get everything a timeshare resort has to offer with typical timeshare sales, you also get a great deal. The cost between a timeshare developer and resale can be drastically different. If you've ever heard a timeshare sales presentation and wanted to buy but couldn't due to the high price tag, then a timeshare resale is the thing for you. More and more buyers are seeing the value difference between timeshare sales and timeshare resales.
Timeshare Resales: Your Home Away from Home
Timeshares offer so much more then a typical hotel and the difference in space is incomparable. A hotel is just a room with a bed or two and small common area, whereas timeshares are like a home. They have private bedrooms, large common areas, a kitchen, and usually a balcony that allows you to enjoy scenic views. Timeshares also offer many amenities such as swimming pools, private beach access, health clubs, tennis courts, racquetball courts, picnic grilling areas, golf courses, kids activities, and much more. Even better, timeshare resales give you all the luxury and comfort you desire when vacationing, but for the same or less cost than hotel stays!
Best of all, timeshares are located in the most popular vacation destinations in the world. Timeshares give you the option of where you want to vacation. Staying in the same resort can be appealing to some people because you can make it your home away from home. You can explore new places year after year and revisit your favorites time and time again. Your family will have the opportunity to become very familiar with the resort area and build memories that will last a lifetime.
However, if you like to explore new adventures every year you have many options available. Most resorts are affiliated with an exchange company such as RCI or II, which allow you to trade your week for a week at another resort for a nominal fee.
Timeshare Resales vs. Timeshare Sales: Affordability
If you're considering buying a timeshare, don't get pressured into it with a fancy timeshare sales presentation. Be smart: buy a timeshare on the resale market. Not only will you save thousands of dollars, you'll receive all the benefits included in vacation ownership. Timeshare resales are what makes a dream vacation truly affordable, giving you what you want at the price you can afford.
We invite you to browse through our extensive collection of timeshare resales. We are confident you will find the right resort at the right price for you and your family.

• Sunscreens block the absorption of the sunlight spectrum responsible for the cutaneous synthesis of vitamin D (ultraviolet B). The present study was prompted by our observation of suppression of cutaneous vitamin D formation by a single application of sunscreening agents. We measured the index of vitamin D body store, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) level, in 20 long-term users of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and in 20 controls matched by age and exposure to sunlight. Serum 25-OH-D levels were significantly lower among long-term PABA users than among normal controls: 40.2 ± 3.2 vs 91.3 ± 6.2 nmol/L. Furthermore, vitamin D deficiency, ie, 25-OH-D levels below 20.0 nmol/L, was seen in two PABA users and in none of the controls. This preliminary study suggests that long-term use of PABA may be associated with low body stores of vitamin D in some persons.

Verlander Back Tracks On $200-Million Comment
Last week Justin Verlander made some headlines by saying he wanted to become baseball?s first $200 million pitcher and despite the comment coming within the context of a perfectly reasonable quote he apparently got some flak for it.
And so yesterday Verlander clarified things to Jason Beck of MLB.com:
Wouldn?t you like to be the first $200 million writer? When people ask me questions, you guys you know me, I?m honest and I talk about things. The question was posed to me: ?Do you want to be the first $200 million pitcher?? Well, yeah. What kind of question is that? Of course I do. ? I don?t want to be seen as the greedy guy that wants to get paid the best because, whatever. But, like I said, if the question?s posed to me, I?m honest.

Bacterial illnesses spike in Erie County
Several potentially serious stomach illnesses have made appearances in Erie County this summer.
Cases of the bacterial illnesses salmonellosis and campylobacteriosis spiked in June and July, according to Erie County Department of Health statistics. The county also reported its first 2013 case of listeriosis in July.
All three illnesses are caused by consuming food contaminated with bacteria, said Howard Nadworny, M.D., Saint Vincent Hospital's chief of infectious diseases. Treatment usually involves antibiotics.
"For most people, these illnesses cause diarrhea," Nadworny said. "But they can develop into a serious bloodstream infection, especially if the patient has a compromised immune system."
Nine cases of salmonellosis were reported in Erie County in June and July, compared to five cases during the first five months of the year. Five cases of campylobacteriosis were reported in June and July, boosting the 2013 total to 13.

Yes, take your meds if you need them. I take Claritin, Singulair and Sudafed on a daily basis and get weekly allergy shots as well.
So far, I've been primal for almost an year! I thought that my allergies were a LOT better because during the spring time I had little to no allergies. However ... my allergies are acting up again, especially when I go exercise. It's actually unbearable on some really sunny days. My question is, should I go back to taking Zyrtec when I need it or should I try some other things before I have to take meds?
Yes, take your meds if you need them. I take Claritin, Singulair and Sudafed on a daily basis and get weekly allergy shots as well.
how long have you been primal?
I still get seasonal allergies. I take an Allegra when i need it.
I'm a paleo foodie, come check out my recipes: http://strangekitty.ca/
I keep up with flonase, alavert and take quercetin w/vitamin c.
Well there goes my suggestion. I was going to say quercetin. It does wonders for me. I take 500mg in the morning. Occasionally I'll take another one in the evening if I'm getting snuffly. I often wake up with sniffles and they dry up shortly after taking the quercetin.
i searched up quercetin ... instead of buying pills, is simply drinking tea enough? (i saw that it's a good source of quercetin ...)
i know it's an old wives tale but a daily tbs of local honey works for me. That plus no grains = zero allergy problems this spring.
My allergies are better since going primal, but not all better either. I had to return to taking my daily corticosteroid inhaler (Flovent) for my asthma because as much as I wanted to be off it, I finally had to admit that I was having too much trouble with breathing, especially on days with high pollen counts or poor air quality, and it was affecting my ability to be active. I figure if I have to take the medication to be able to lead an active primal lifestyle, then I'd rather do that than struggle without and end up living a more restricted, sedentary life. If you need the meds to enjoy exercise and going outdoors, then I say take them--it's worth the trade.
If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive. --Audre Lorde

My Bromeliad Bloom Turned Brown. What Should I Do?
Author: Melanie Dearringer19 Comments
Blooming, Frequently Asked Questions
My Bromeliad Bloom Looks Like It's Dying So your bromeliad bloom turned brown? Well, it might sound harsh, but once your bromeliad bloom has begun to die, you can cut it off! Bromeliads are known for their exotic, long-lasting flowers. These tropical plants can bloom for months, in fact. However, once a bromeliad's flower begins to die, it is signaling the next cycle in its life. This next cycle is producing pups. Pups are new bromeliad plants, which will be the future generation of your bromeliad garden. By cutting off the bromeliad's dying flower, you can help the plant refocus its […]

The aim of the conference is to review the current state of research in the history of moviegoing and film exhibition and distribution. We seek to bring together scholars dealing with these subjects from all over the globe. The growing number of case studies in local film history increases the need for comparative studies of cities, regions, and nations, while the relationship between micro and macro history(ies) is becoming a major issue for the field. The analysis of patterns and networks in film culture also calls for special attention to methodology. The conference aims to bring European perspectives on cinemagoing and film exhibition into dialogue with British, American and Australian research, and with research elsewhere in the world, in Africa, South America and Asia.
The conference aims to explore and map several crucial tensions arising from the issues of exhibition and cinemagoing, including:
Please submit abstracts (500 words) with short bio to Gert Willems (firstname.lastname@example.com)and Liesbeth Vandevijver (firstname.lastname@example.com) by 6 July 2007. Speakers will be notified of acceptance by 31 July 2007

Live a day @ Bank Audi – August 28.
More than 70 kids had the chance to experience a working day at Bank Audi. Maxime met them and answered their questions.
Kids were very excited and followed him to the office to find out his workplace atmosphere.
ExWeb interview with Max Chaya, �Crossing mile-wide open leads with thin ice was a terrifying experience�
01:54 pm CDT Jul 16, 2009
Part of PolarExplorers Peary-Henson Centennial 2009 Expedition, in an interview with ExWeb's Correne Coetzer, Max talked about the differences between his two polar expeditions.
Explorersweb: You have a weight problem, loosing too much. How did you control you weight loss on the North Pole ski and how much did you loose?
Max: My weight problem is not only �loosing too much� during an expedition but also, not being able to stock enough before!
To counter that problem, I devised an elaborate plan for stocking good fat reserves prior to the expedition, and decided to increase my daily calorie intake during the expedition.
We therefore carried and ate considerable quantities throughout the trip, hence the decision to have resupplies.
Explorersweb: What was your worst experience?
Max: Crossing mile-wide open leads with thin ice was a terrifying experience, especially that I knew that I was the heaviest member, carrying an equally heavy sled. I thank God that none have us went through the ice.
Explorersweb: And your best experience (except for 90�)?
Max: The whole expedition was very tough indeed, especially in the early stages when temperatures were constantly off the charts.
There were good moments though; and the fact that I was able to eat plenty was a blessing.
Best of all is the feeling you get after achieving the objective in the set time frame.
Explorersweb: How did your South Pole and North Pole experiences compare? Physically and mentally?
Max: Oddly enough, my South Pole experience was more difficult, both physically, and mentally than the much harder, and much more dangerous North Pole.
This is due to the fact that I was on a much larger calorie deficit in Antarctica, and I consequently lost a great deal of weight and power towards the end.
It should be noted here that my SP was unassisted and unsupported, where as my NP was only unsupported, and so we were resupplied twice. This meant more calories ingested every day, and no excessive weight loss or power shortage.
Explorersweb: Any advice you can give to potential skiers, NP or SP?
Max: Don�t ever think of attempting the NP before its southern counterpart. And for those attempting an �all the way�, especially if unsupported and unassisted, train well in advance, and don�t set off before you�re your body fat is above 22%. Anything less, and you�ll soon feel like a car with an empty fuel tank.
Explorersweb: What were the main differences in gear for the South Pole vs. North Pole?
Max: Regarding garments, I wore a Gore Tex Pro outer shell in Antarctica, while I had a much more breathable Supplex outer in the Arctic.
Also, some of my garments were down in Antarctica, while we used synthetic (Primloft) materials in the Arctic.
As for gear, I only had half skins on my skis down South, and full skins (even on the tips) up North.
Explorersweb: Future plans?
Max: I am currently proofreading a book that I have been writing for the past couple of years. �STEEP DREAMS: My Journey to the Top of the World� will be out on the shelves by October, and is turning out to be a fabulous coffee-table book.
As for my future adventure plans, although I have a couple of new ideas in mind, I haven�t yet had time to seriously think about them. Besides, I am still recovering from my NP ordeal!
Explorersweb: Anything you want to add?
Max: A word of thanks to all those who cheered and supported me on this long, arduous journey, and that includes you Correne, and the rest of the ExWeb team!
Lonnie Dupre (guide, USA), Stuart Smith (USA) and Max Chaya (Lebanon) arrived at the North Pole on 25 April 2009 after skiing 53 days from Cape Discovery, Canada. The expedition received resupplies and was organised by PolarExplorers.
Maxime Chaya was born in 1961 and lives in Lebanon. He became the first Lebanese who has skied to the Poles and have climbed the Seven Summits. His South Pole expedition was unassisted, unsupported.
Max is married with 2 kids, Edgard and Kelly. He works for Bank Audi Corporate Ambassador. His favourite book is his own book "STEEP DREAMS: My Journey to the Top of the World�� and his favourite movie is �Jungle Book�. Max likes to eat anything if he is hungry, and "not even my favourite pasta dish if I�m is not!�
Maxime hard at work…
Unipoles with Maxime's new slogan have sprung around the country to complement a TV ad in the making.
It's not easy to translate the new slogan, but it reads something like:
If it's the summit you're aiming for, the rest is mere details

Bryant redshirted last year and will be a 5th year senior at Troy. He finished his Trojan career with 32 tackles and an interception.
Bryant, from Lincoln High School in Tallahassee, Fla. was a 4-Star cornerback prospect by Scout.com.
"I love those Troy coaches," Bryant said. "They believe in me and I believe in them. They put cornerbacks in the league and that's ultimately where I want to go. It's just a great opportunity for me to excel and get great coaching. Hopefully I can fulfill my dreams and play in the NFL after Troy."
Bryant, 6-foot-1 and 190-pounds, will be a 5th year senior. He has already graduated with a communications degree from USC before being officially released on June 18th. He will be in a Master's program at Troy.
"I have so many good memories of my time at Southern Cal," Bryant said. "In the end things just didn't work out. I wish the entire USC program nothing but success in the future and the best of luck. I just had a really good time out there."
Bryant was also considering transferring to North Carolina, Tennessee, Rutgers, Temple and Missouri before selecting Troy.

NEW YORK — CBS did the math.
And when it was done calculating, it decided to move "2 Broke Girls," the season's No. 1 new show among the 18- to 49-year-olds advertisers target, into the 9 p.m. slot long held by the network's longest-running sitcom, "Two and a Half Men."
The still successful "Men" — and shouldn't we be acknowledging there are three of them by now? -- will move to 8:30 p.m. Thursdays, after "The Big Bang Theory," to create a stronger lead-in for "Person of Interest" (and most likely a nightmare for ABC, which will be trying to launch its new Shawn Ryan drama "Last Resort" in what was already a tough slot).

Police probe shooting, stabbing in DanbyJune 17,2013By Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer
Vermont State Police responded Sunday night to a reported shooting and stabbing in Danby.
The incident was first reported around 7:30 p.m. on John Corey Road. According to scanner reports, a man had been shot in the leg and a woman had been stabbed.
Police at the scene declined to comment on the incident, but a police report released early this morning said that a man found at the scene was suffering from "gunshot wounds" and a woman was suffering from "stabbing wounds". Both of them were transported to Rutland Regional Medical Center for treatment.
Scanner reports indicated that police tried to get a medical helicopter to fly to the scene from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H., or Albany (N.Y.) Medical Center. However, due to weather conditions a helicopter could not fly to the scene.
At least one person injured was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center by ambulance with a police escort.
John Corey Road is about one mile from Danby Four Corners. Police had yellow crime scene tape across a driveway leading up to the home.
The home is set back about 100 yards from the road.
Officers could be seen investigating and snapping photographs as the sun set.
A constable from Pawlet also responded to the scene as well as firefighting personnel from Danby and emergency responders from Wallingford and Manchester.

< Lawmakers get some love from the Guv | Main | Heavy metal kegs and omnibus education floor-a-palooza >
Veto smackdown and a floor-a-palooza liveblog today
Posted at 11:06 AM on April 28, 2008 by Michael Marchio (2 Comments)
Gov. Pawlenty vetoed three bills over the weekend. HF3220/SF2929, the bill that would allow political subdivisions to make nonprofit grants. The governor includes a veto letter sent to leadership in the chambers that explains why he vetoed the bill. In this one, he said that "Instead of granting local elected officials the power to make charitable contributions and grants to nonprofits using taxpayer money, political subdivisions should be focusing on ways to lower property taxes."
He also vetoed, no surprise here, HF1351, the transportation policy bill. This one was vetoed, as he had warned, because it included provisions explicitly banning REAL ID compliance unless the Feds hand over the money to pay for the "security improvements to IDs. T-Paw wrote that if our licenses are not in compliance with REAL ID requirements after Dec. 31, 2009, Minnesotans won't be able to use their license as ID for domestic flights. Seventeen other states have voted to explicitly ban the changes for REAL ID. Here's how a report from KARE put it.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has been quoted recently as saying lack of a REAL ID state driver's license won't keep anyone from flying. It will, however, add extra hassle to getting through airport security.
Travelers without REAL ID driver's licenses should expect to provide other forms of ID such as passports, or go through a second, more rigorous layer of scrutiny by TSA officers. That could include the pat-down and more baggage checks.
HF828/SF599 the Cuba trade resolution, was the last bill he vetoed. In it, he states that "The Cuban government is totalitarian. Most of Cuba's economy is state-owned, private property rights are essentially disregarded, and Cuba's human rights record is poor[...]Providing more economic opportunity for Cuba through trade will enable and empower the current regime."
It is interesting that the opposite argument is usually made about how free markets will affect China. The letter also goes into some wonky stuff about the Organization of American States you can check out here if you wish. Is the governor dropping knowledge to burnish his VP credentials? Number 45, anyone? Check out Bob Collins over at NewsCut on the possibility of Pawlenty as the veep.
The House should be taking up the omnibus education policy bill this afternoon, and we're going to have a floor-a-palooza I will be liveblogging. If you're wondering why the House is subject to more floor-a-paloozas than the Senate, it's because Senators are cleaning up in the point totals, with only two Reps in our top ten. Also, the House Republican caucus is more feisty than the Senate one, and the Commish likes to see lawmakers with 'tude.
Watch the session here.

I think the proferred reason for the veto of the Cuba resolution is silly. It is a resolution that _asks the US congress_ to take action on Cuban trade. So why is it interfering the process of foreign policy, reserved to the federal government?

re: airplane travel
December 2005 - I had plane tickets to LA from Detroit. I got there and was confronted by the fact that Northwest website has(had?) two different places to register your name. My e-tickets had been issued under one name, but my (newly married) ID has my new name, as did the other part of the website. I hadn't checked the name - why would I when the website had the right name.
Back at the airport, I was totally freaking out with an 18 month old baby and no "valid" id. TSA eventually let me on the plane. On the way back from LA, no one even looked. There's always a way to jimmy the system - you just gotta look creatively.
-- I just finished posting something to Bob Collins' blog (as Elizabeth T.) about ID & voting & how simple it would be to double dip doing it. I actually don't have any serious objection to the Voter ID inherently. Like any other nationwide "brilliant" idea the gov't has, it would depend on the actual details they come up with.

Mindanao Economy Expanded by 6.0
Percent in 2004
The economy of Mindanao expanded by 6.0 percent in 2004, up from a 4.3 percent growth it registered in 2003. The total output of production of all economic activities in the island was estimated at P205.560 Billion from P193.848 Billion in 2003, valued at constant 1985 prices. In real terms, the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) output of Mindanao was valued at P822.127 Billion in 2004.
The island's economy is primarily driven by the Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry (AFF) sector which accounted for 37.5 percent of the total GDP. The industry posted P77.028 Billion in 2004, 6.1 percent higher than the P72.589 Billion listed in 2003. It also surpassed the 3.9 percent growth it posted in 2002-2003. The output was mainly derived from agricultural and fishing activities which accounted for 98.7 percent of the industry's output. With logging banned in many areas of the island, the forestry sector still managed to chip in 1.3 percent contribution. Logging operations in the area were mostly concentrated in the Caraga Region which accounted for 75.7 percent of Mindanao's forestry production.
The service sector, accounting for 35.7 percent of the 2004 GDP, grew by 6.3 percent in 2004. The growth was fueled by the sustained growth in trade, TCS (Transportation, Communication and Storage), ODRE (Ownership of Dwellings and Real Estate) and private services. Government services decelerated from 3.5 percent in 2003 50 1.3 percent in 2004 due to streamlining and austerity measures implemented by the government.
Mindanao's industry sector grew by 5.6
percent in 2004, almost double than the 2.9 percent performance it
listed in 2003. The sector contributed P55.086 Billion in 2004
accounting for 26.8 percent of the GDP. In 2003, its total production
stood at P52.173 Billion. The manufacturing sector, cornering two-thirds
of the industry's output, expanded further by 5.9 percent in 2004 from
4.7 percent in 2003. Manufacturing industries are mostly situated in
Regions 10, 11 and 12 which accounted for about 82.9 percent of the
sector's output.
Among the six regions comprising the Mindanao Island Group, Davao Region posted the highest growth of 6.9 percent up from the 4.7 percent performance it registered in 2003. It also accounted for about 25.6 percent of the total output of Mindanao. SOCCSKSARGEN Region came in second with a 6.3 percent growth followed by Northern Mindanao (6.0%), Caraga (5.5%) and ARMM (5.3%). Zamboanga Peninsula was the slowest with economic improvements paced only at 4.7 percent.
Caraga outperformed the other regions in the AFF industry and posted an 8.6 percent growth further improving the 5.6 percent growth it listed in 2003. Davao Region placed second with 7.4 percent followed by SOCCSKSARGEN Region with 6.8 percent. SOCCSKSARGEN Region cornered about 23.4 percent of Mindanao's AFF outputs, up from 23.2 percent last year, further boosting its claim of being the food basket of Mindanao.
SOCCSKSARGEN Region, on the other hand, led other Mindanao regions in the industry sector with a 6.7 percent performance. Zamboanga Peninsula followed closely with a 6.6 percent growth and far third was Northern Mindanao with 5.6 percent performance. Northern Mindanao, however, contributed about 31.6 percent to the total industry output of Mindanao.
Davao Region led the regions in the
service sector outputs and registered 7.6 percent growth contributing
about 29.7 percent to the service sector output of Mindanao. Davao
Region hosts a number of hospitals equipped with modern apparatus,
schools and big shopping malls which draw patrons from neighboring
regions. Far second was Zamboanga Peninsula with 6.8 percent followed by
Northern Mindanao with 6.2 percent growth.
People in Northern Mindanao posted the highest per capita contribution to GDP compared to constituents of other Mindanao regions. Per capita GDP in the region in 2004 was posted at P14,735 up from the P14,149 per capita output in 2003. Folks in Davao Region were second and each contributed P13,226 to their regional economy. However, residents of Davao Region were more economically productive in 2004 as they registered a 4.9 percent increase in per capita GDP contribution as compared to Northern Mindanao's 4.1 percent.
Far third were the folks in SOCCSKSARGEN Region with a 2004 per capita GDP of P11,439, an increase of 3.6 percent from P11,039 in 2003. ARMM Region continued to lag behind and posted a per capita GDP of P3,343, the least nationwide in 2004. It improved, however, by 2.8 percent over the 2003 per capita contribution of P3,253. The average national per capita GDP in 2004 was P13,720, 3.9 percent up from P13,208 in 2003.

As I said before in my previous MM post, I have 6 slots to fill with the "other guys." I'll break down what this force needs, what I have chosen to splash, and why.
The Current Situation
My list aside from the 6 empties is as follows:
2 x Spitter
2 x Elite Spitter
2 x Cthulabite
1 x Grinder Tank
1 x Oppressor (Glass)
1 x Ral Kurrilik
And that's it. Let's look at what we have here. A common strike team for me would be Elite Spitter, Spitter and Grinder Tank, getting 3*4 with marker. I feel like that's only worth hitting low def buildings or monsters with defense 5, probably who are near a Cthulabite, but even if not, or if they have 6 defense and are near a Cthulabite, that is a 66% chance to hit, not good, but Marker makes that significantly better. I'm actually VERY poor at maths and the knowledge of maths, so I'm not going to actually attempt to give you guys an OVERALL percentage of hitting with Marker; I'd risk being wrong and sounding like a fool; let's just say, it's a LOT more likely to hit than not. I'm feeling something like 75%. That's a number I'm ok with, but this strike team is not at all ideal.
The problem with Cthul units outside of having towers is how unlikely they are to really DO anything aside from Multishot units. Maybe I'm just not as experienced with them as I am with Invaders, who really never have trouble hitting the opponent's monster, or maybe I have my strike team wrong, I don't know. Maybe I should clarify: by "strike team" I mean the most basic and commonly used combo of dudes to blast with. Even though they have the best generic debuff, weaken, they are missing the most important and arguably most ridiculous debuff, Armor Piercing. This is new to me; as I said, I've played primarily Invaders for a long time now.
Another thing missing from this list is threat range. These units have AWFUL threat range in comparison to many other agendas. I will need to splash something to get at monsters and units deep within my opponent's side of the board.
I for one am a fan of Amplify. A big fan. Amplify can be a total game-changer, and so can a unit with Hazardous. Both of these needs are met by the same unit, and I generally splash it in every single force. It's not necesary in all forces, but it makes its home here for a few reasons. Actually, two of them. Yeah, I like it that much with this monster. I'll talk about that in a second.
The last thing this list needs is some utility and monster support. Morphers are fragile, Lo-Tron more so because he is a Pentamorph. As fragile as he seems though, he has one thing awesome going for him: he is mechanical, which means he can repair via a repair vehicle or a UCI MRV. I will indeed splash both of those, in order to stave off as much damage as I possibly can.
The Splashes
Nautilus Blaster
No doubt there are a number of options for making my strike team more efficient, but none impress me as much as Nautilus Blaster. This unit is possibly the best 1 cost grunt unit in the game, now that Fire Kami and Robo Brontox got the nerf bat. I see it splashed even more than Tornadus, the Interceptor C-type combo and all the Explosion and Tow units combined. Seriously. It is just in EVERY force that wants to blast at all. And the reason is because it doesn't have to lead, offers a boost and long range, can move through water (although slowly), and, when leading, nets an extra power die. With Cthulabite, it is sickening. Getting it close enough to do some heavy damage can be tricky, but on maps with teleporters or zip-zones (whatever they are called), it's relatively easy. This guy is in for good.
With the reach issue, I feel like there is only a couple of good answers. I have room for either, but not both, unless I cut my favorite unit in the game (not nautilus blaster, he's just the best, not my favorite!). Tornadus is the between it and Interceptor // Elite C-Type in my opinion. For the same cost, I get more versatility: 2 boost on both blast and brawl, extensive reach, flight, and even hoist. Since I'll be securing at least one Posh Apartment and a Newspaper Office, it might even cost my force LESS to use than EC in the early turns. These are the turns where abilities like this are extremely effective at totally taking control of tempo. Mid game strikes to the middle or a hiding monster are easier with her, even at full cost. Late game, getting to a turtler should be easier anyway, what with the swarm of units this agenda generates, that throwing a Tornadus in to fight from the spawn point can really push that last fling damage. Combined with my monster's Weapon Master blasts and Juggernaut, the end game should come to a quick halt. This unit does everything I want it to. In the past I have been against splashing it, but I feel like in a force with a morpher monster, it is totally worth it.
Tanker Truck
I feel like if there ever was a unit I could call absolutely necessary in almost every force, it would be this guy. And it happens to be my favorite unit. The reason I like it is maybe not as clear as you would think. Yes, Amplify is nice on a 1 cost unit, it has 5 speed and so goes farther than all other in-faction 1-cost units, and has Hazardous. Hazardous is particularly good for a Toss monster. I've been using it rather effectively both offensively and defensively with Quantum Deimos-9 for a few months now, and one thing has become clear to me: the opponent has to play around this unit more than they do similar ones, that is, utility or disruption units that are often auto-includes, (ie anything with Tow, Explosion, Amplify etc…).
Here's a comparison to those units. Firstly, anyone who has played with or against Protectors knows how much Earth Avatars do for that force. They have to be dealt with. If left unchecked, they will win the game be pushing their user into such a state of efficiency it's ridiculous. And they are hard to deal with, because they are in the backfield and have 4-5 defense vs blasts most of the time.This unit is most comparable, in my opinion, because it always comes out to play, whereas the commonly splashed ones simply sit there and intimidate the opponent. Another similar unit would be Robo Brontox because it comes out and has to be out for it's abilities to work, but getting rid of it doesn't mean as much as getting rid of the Earth Avatar. Similar, but not as much.
Spadefin Skimmer, Pteradactix, Marauder, Tornadus, Glass Robo Squix, Glass Oppressor, Airborne Ape, etc… This category of unit CAN come out before it needs to, but generally, just sitting there in your reserves is enough to make your opponent play differently than they otherwise would. I don't like this idea, but it is necessary. The Tanker Truck can sometimes do this, say, if your opponent is thinking of coming to your side.
What I find happens though, is that I just use this unit for amplify and it only costs 2 to spawn and move with most monsters. With Lo-Tron, it generally costs 1-0 to spawn and 1-0 to move. This can mean a perfectly free Amplify or Hazardous unit playing offense and defense. Both abilities support my monster, and the cost of removing the unit is so much greater than that of using it; I just don't see why most people don't include it. I have gotten down to the nitty-gritty, spawned this and moved it, and the opponent has a choice: stay around me and lose the game, stay around me and kill the unit, potentially still losing the game because of loss of tempo, or run away. I don't really care which they choose, they were forced to choose to do one of these things for such a small price. Not to mention, spontaneous power-ups can get fierce late in the game.
Anyway, my favorite unit in the game, hands down. It gives monsters like Krakenoctus and Quantum Cthugrosh some game, and buffs monsters with Toss like Quantum Deimos or Lo-Tron so much, I cannot ignore it, nor will I, ever. That being said, I would never run it in Collaborators or Protectors, because they have better options overall for that type of thing. Though, for Hazardous alone it could be worth it… I hope I've changed some of your minds, or at least have gotten you to think a little deeper about this unit that maybe you had previously. It's almost worth an entire post… Nah, I'll leave that up to Jeff.
I include 2 in this force. I may reduce it to 1 if I feel they aren't doing what I want them to, but for now, they are.
The last thing I need in this force is Repair. I decided to splash both the Repair Vehicle and UCI MRV. Jeff talked about this decision in a comment he posted in a previous MM day. To quote:
I'm always torn between RV vs MRV with Lo-tron. Spending 4-5A instead of 3-4A grants HOVER and significantly better defense… and 4-5A is still ahead in terms of resources to heal vs resources spent by the opponent to deal damage. I like the less costly RV as "back-up" to discourage your opponent from tow'ing your MRV more than I like a second MRV. It feels like the best REPAIR-unit configuration, what you are using.
This is exactly why I am running these units. They act as appropriate back-up for each other. I said in my response, something along the lines of "I usually spawn the MRV and have full range of repair, unless I am right next to my spawn zones, where I will usually spawn the Repair Vehicle and Repair for 3 a-dice or less (Discount and Intel). When that fails, is is Tow/Halted, I have a more mobile backup or vice-versa. I really think this is key for this monster to be effective… 2 Repair Vehicles alone don't do it, 2 MRV's could, but I want a cheaper option when I need it.
I'm really excited to start playing with my new unit list! I think I'll start with the Email tournament, but I'm not sure yet. If anyone is looking to get a game in, I generally get online at 11-12 PM EST and stay on for a while. I post on TC that I'm on Vassal, and get on Vassal, waiting. If I don't respond immediately, please be patient. I check the window quite often.
One thing I think I'll do it make room for less Hazards and more Spire. Those hazard tiles bite back a bit more than I thought they would, and Spire still offers all the glory of a big Toss, but with less repercussion. Perhaps EPP too; I've always been a big fan of that building, but it is dangerous being a morpher and lurking around it. Also, I need more Music Production as it is my only way of forward spawning and is so easy to knock down! My new building list:
4 x Music Producer
2 x Posh Apartments
2 x Newspaper Office
1 x Radio Telescope
1 x Statue of Liberty
1 x Tokyo Triumph
1 x Insurance Company HQ
Well, that's for today. Please let me know what you think. I need to get some more games in. PM if interested.

Fixed PriceBudget: $320
Start DateJune 5, 2013
There are four parts to this project as summarized below:
This is a chemical engineering application with built in modeling developed in Visual Foxpro 9.0 environment. See www.chemplan.biz for a description of the software. The application has been developed during a 25 years period starting with dBase 3 going through stages of Clipper and various Foxpro versions. It works in Windows XP (32 and 64), 2007, 2008, Server 2003 and Server 2008 environments. The output files are compatible with old versions of Acrobat Reader with Distiller 5.0, and Excel 2003/2007. With new versions of Acrobat and Excel 2010/2013, the data is exported but not properly displayed. Also certain errors occur, if ignored the data are exported. The code is together and compiles fine, and it is loaded to our FTP.
The scope of the project defined as:
1) The VFP 9.0 must be modified to show PDF files and Excel charts properly, clearly and proportionately (height, width, zoom, legends, …). Once again, the environments are various versions of Windows XP, 2007, 2008, Server 2003/2008. The output files are Excel 2010/2013 and Acrobat 11.0.02/10.1.4/9.5. After modification of code, programs must be compiled and downloaded to our FTP. If I can not compile the programs at my end, you should be able to access my computer (s) and compile it.
2) We would like to ship the customer's customized database and full software from our FTP and provide them a code by email to download their software and database. At this time we ship the product in CD ROM which are automatically filled with a software and the clients automatically download from CD Roms to their computer with very little knowledge of other softwares. The software is the same for all clients but data are customized for each one. You will modify the existing shipment software to allow shipment through FTP. New simple ideas are welcome.
3) Fix www.chemplan.biz, so once again we can sell our services through internet. The program is all together and needs work on DBF->SQL and WIN-to-DBF connections. As a result, the reports do not work. You must work with our present provider that supports MSSQL and VFP to make it work and teach them to support it.
4) Convert the VFP code to SQL or MYSQL as efficiently as possible for both on-line and desktop versions.
I am requesting your fixed fee bid for items 1 and 2 above. After you become familiar with the system, we will discuss items 3 and 4. We also will entertain the idea of you supporting the on-line and desktop versions. Be very careful in making proposal. Please do not waste your and my time.
Requirements, expertise in:
1. all aspects of Visual Foxpro 9.0, specially in export to all versions of PDF and MS office in Windows desktop and server environments. YOU MUST BE EXPERT in VFP 9.0. YOU MUST ALSO KNOW HOW TO USE DEBUG TO TRAP THE BUGS AND FIX THE CODE;
2. PDF and MS Office applications;
3. *.NET, AJAX, MSSQL and MYSQL;
4. accessing my computer without getting my IP address.
5. reading our software documentation and following instructions.
See the attachment for more details.

Developers have submitted plans to the city of Charleston for a 170-room, nine-story hotel on a vacant lot at the foot of the Ravenel Bridge.
Under review
City officials plan to review hotel restrictions next week to ensure the peninsula doesn't become oversaturated with new lodgings. The Planning Commission will take up the issue June 19.
The chairman of the area's main tourism agency called the surging hotel activity a positive move, given the city's rising prominence as a destination for visitors.
"I think it's good as long as it remains balanced with retail and residential," said Frank Fredericks, chairman of the Charleston Area Convention & Visitors Bureau's board and managing director of Wild Dunes Resort on the Isle of Palms. "We need hotels to accommodate visitors with the way the city's popularity is."
As for any new restrictions placed on hotel growth, he said, "I'd rather see them put a cap on the total number of hotel rooms rather than limit the number of rooms in one section of the city. The smaller hotels cannot offer all the services of a larger hotel."
The unbranded lodging at the juncture of Meeting and Huger streets is the project of Charleston-based Jupiter Holdings LLC and includes a 240-space parking deck.
The 100-foot-tall hotel also will include 30,000 square feet of office space and a 10,000-square-foot rooftop restaurant above parking in the U-shaped building with a central courtyard, according to plans presented to the city.
"We believe this is going to be a great shot in the arm to that area of town," Fred Whittle of Jupiter Holdings said. "The momentum is picking up."
The project could take 18 months to build, and Whittle hopes to open the hotel in the spring of 2015. Construction could start this fall after the project goes through the city approval process.
It would be the first new hotel to venture that far north on the peninsula. The high-traffic site is a part of the city that's suddenly attracting new investment, including the nearby East Central Lofts apartment building on Huger Street.
The plans go before the city's Board of Zoning Appeals on Tuesday.
Whittle wasn't ready to announce the hotel brand because final papers haven't been signed, but he said it's a national company with one flag for two different types of hotel projects.
It will operate as a separate arm of Jupiter Holdings under Meeting & Huger Place LLC.
Jupiter Holdings also owns the 100-room Comfort Suites hotel on Savannah Highway at Interstate 526 in West Ashley. It operates under Hospitality LLC. Whittle's business partner Eddie Buck is the registered agent.
The proposed peninsula hotel is among at least a dozen new lodging projects slated to add more than 1,500 rooms for the bustling downtown Charleston market, a 44 percent increase in room volume if all are built.
In 2012, the peninsula averaged 3,370 rooms with a nearly 80 percent occupancy rate, up 2.8 percent over 2011.
Tourism officials and hoteliers alike say the rush to be in downtown Charleston is fueled by high hotel demand and the city's growing reputation as a visitor destination. Last year, readers of Conde Nast Traveler selected Charleston as the best tourist destination in the world.

In "Law, Pragmatism, and Democracy" (Harvard University Press, 2004), Richard Posner champions the work of the Austrian economist, Joseph Schumpeter, who distilled the democratic process down to the election of political officials from among a group of competing elites by the general population. He links this "pragmatic" account of democracy to a broader program of pragmatic adjudication and liberalism. This review critically assesses the empirical and normative grounds of Posner's argument, and accuses him of neglecting the pivotal role of politics, in both his democratic theory and his understanding of pragmatism.

Cross High Class of 1962 enjoys gathering
The quarterly gathering of Cross High Schools Class of 1962 continued on July 14 at St. James Place in Goose Creek.
Attendees included David and Faye (Harkins) Brownlee, John and Linda (Singletary) Harkins, Doyle and Brenda Campbell, Warren and Judy (Cross) Lambert, Lynn Garner DeHay, Jeanette Mills Dantzler, Carl (Butch) and Karen Mills, Herman and Peggy (Garner) Hill, Bobbie (Mills) Dixon, Annie Lee Singletary(mother of Linda Harkins), Mervelle Williams, and Dale and Debbie Christensen (guest of Doyle).
Members of adjoining classes are always welcomed to join the group. Call one of those who attended for information.
The July Newsletter of WLA Cross Chapter recounts the groups many activities.
If you have noticed the WLAs large building at 1212 Ranger Drive you may have wondered what goes on there. Heres a little insight into the many worthwhile activities that this group sponsors.
During May the Wildlife Festival/Earth Day Celebration was successful with many volunteers. The archery range, pellet gun range, aquatic animal dipping, kayaking, casting, and animal displays kept folks of all ages busy.
The Santee Cooper, John Ham Memorial Catfish Tournament for two days in June was another grand event.
First place went to Ed Bowie and Tony Bonner . The Walmart Gift Certificate raffle was won by J. Nelson with a ticket purchased from Charles Whitten. Many thanks to Floyd Higgins who has joined the WLA for 10 years of faithful service!
Several items were raffled off including the bicycle donated back by Floyd Higgins. T-shirts commemorating the event are still available for $10 each, or two for $18.
WLA thanks Santee Cooper and BEC for their sponsorship.
Now WLA is proudly sponsoring four young people to attend the National WLA Summer Camp. This is quite a worthy accomplishment for the Cross Chapter.
The Cross Chapter also recently hosted BSA Troop 469 at the WLA Center on Ranger Drive. The Scouts camped, paddled the Lake Moultrie Pond Trail, and also picked up over 100 pounds of trash along the way.
WLA monthly meetings will continue to be held monthly on the second Wednesday unless otherwise announced. These covered dish suppers and board meetings are at 6 p.m., and everyone is invited to join the fellowship and planning for the falls program.
Make plans now to join Lebanon United Methodist Church for Homecoming on Sept.30. Anyone who may have pictures or information about former pastors, dinners, or activities at the Lebanon Church should call Nita and Duffy Stone.
Eating Healthy
The Browns and Thackers may still have fruits and veggies fresh at their farm/garden in Eadytown and also under a tent on the right side of Hwy. 6 when driving into Moncks Corner.
Also, Tuesday and Saturday morning from 8:30 until 11 a.m., gardeners and farmers are selling their produce at the Cross Community Center.
Reminder to all parents and youth: Vacation Bible School at Galilee is still in session for the remainder of this week, July 24 thru 27, nightly at 6 p.m. Featuring the theme of "Praising Puppets for Jesus," there will also be food, crafts, and fun for all. On Friday special activities will include a jump castle and other fun.
Lunch Bunch
The Community Lunch Bunch met at Friendship United Methodist Church on the third Wednesday of July for fellowship, a devotion, and a delicious meal with a variety of dishes.
Plan to join the group at 11 a.m. on a third Wednesday soon!

The phenomenon of growing veggies in your own yard just gets bigger. Last year Canadian seed rack sales grew by more than 35% and this year is looking like a repeat performance. My late father used to say that a seed packet and patch of soil was always your best bet for return on investment. How true.
While many readers will have planted tomatoes and peppers, it should be noted that it is not too late to get out there and plant and sow your heart out. Where transplants are concerned you can still purchase them at garden retailers and plant them with reasonable expectations that they will produce a crop this season. It is not too late for tomatoes, peppers or spring onions.
It is also possible to sow some plants from seed and expect a crop. Zucchini, other summer squash and winter squash will mature just fine if you seed them now. Also sweet corn (if you have the space), peas, beans, carrots, lettuce (leaf, head and bib) and beets will mature nicely, if a bit later than the earlier seeded crops in your garden.
There is plenty of time to put in 2 or 3 successive sowings of radish and leaf lettuce.
The key to growing great vegetables is two fold: lots of sun and proper soil preparation. All veggies favour a loose, organic rich soil. Dig compost at least 30 cm or 12 inches deep into your existing soil. If you are planting carrots or other root crops the key is to open the soil up with generous quantities of sharp sand – 'builder sand' in the hardware trade. But NOT beach sand, which is too fine for the job. My carrot soil is at least 30% sand by volume and I dig it down about 50 cm deep (18 inches).
For the veggies that you have already planted in the ground or in containers, some important tips to keep in mind if you wish your dreams of garden fresh produce to be realized this summer:
Keep in mind that all veggies need to get dry about 4 or 5 cm below the surface of the soil between watering once they are established. Overwatering is a bigger problem for most gardeners than underwatering. That said, it is important to water generously when the need arises. Tomatoes are especially thirsty as they grow: mulch them with 30 cm of fresh, clean straw or 5 cm of finely ground up cedar or bark mulch. This insulating layer will reduce watering by up to 70%.
Tomatoes top the list as hungry plants. To fertilize them this time of year I add an inch of finished compost around the roots of each plant before I add the straw mulch. You may choose to apply an organic or synthetic fertilizer specifically formulated for use on tomatoes.
Support tomatoes with a stake now, before they start to crawl over the ground. I use the spiral stakes that eliminate the need to tie the plants up for support. They also last forever: you can leave this investment in future tomato crops in your will. (Fathers' Day gift idea!!)
Prune out the suckers that appear between the main limbs of the tomato plant. Look for a young green shoot that squeezes its' way between a lateral stem and the main stem of the plant and just rub it out with your thumb.
Interesting thing about killing weeds in mid June is this: all you have to do is move a fledgling weed seedling to kill it. Allow the plant to put down roots and you suddenly have an enormous job on your hands attempting to remove it. More than that, an established weed will compete with your desirable veggie plant, robbing it of valuable sunlight, water and soil born nutrients.
If you are interested in trying something different in your veggie garden this year pick up one of the new 'grape' tomatoes. They really are sweet and a lot of fun to grow.

Ok, thanks to your hint, I solved the problem!
Indeed, it was a firewall, that made the disturbance. But it turned out that
it was not the fault of my local firewall in my network over here, but the
firewall of a remote network...
For anybody who is interested:
I have two Endian Firewalls, which are functioning as gateways/firewalls in
two geographically separated networks. Each of the networks has it's own
DHCP. Last week I had permanently linked the two networks via VPN.
Unfortunately I had forgotten to activate the DHCP-filter on one of the two
Endian Firewalls, resulting in the unwanted situation, of having two
DHCP-servers in one network, each of them claiming of being the
authoritative one (=the primary). The result was, that the DHCP queries of
my network over here (the one with the DNS having all that FORMERRs), where
answered by the DHCP server of the remote network, which has quite different
DNS/gateway settings than the one over here. Further all the traffic from
here was sent over to the other gateway so that it left towards the internet
from there, instead to leave directly from over here.
As soon as I activated the DHCP-filter between both VPN-linked networks, the
clients over here use the local DHCP-server, which has the correct
DNS/gateway settings. Since then I have no more FORMERR anymore...

I understood. I deactivated the "forwarders:...." section in my named.conf.
Thank you for this advice!
Best regards and thank you very much!

Her shocking elimination had American Idol watchers buzzing last week, but this week it's Pia Toscano's relationship with Dancing with the Stars pro Mark Ballas that has everyone talking.
"Mark is a really sweet guy," Toscano, who went on a date with Ballas in Los Angeles on Friday, told PEOPLE Monday in New York. "We went out with a group of friends. He's just a really good friend, I guess."
Toscano, who was a frontrunner on Idol before her surprising departure, said Ballas can relate to her whirlwind experience on Fox's hit talent competition.
"Me and Mark vibe well together because he knows what I'm going through," she said. "He gets judged every week and he's kind of on a similar show, only I'm singing and he's dancing, so he's a really nice person to have support from.
Ballas, a two-time Dancing champ who also knows what it's like to go home early in the competition, was able to put things in perspective for Toscano.
"He's just really sweet and extremely supportive and he just said, 'You know, better things are to come.' It's nice to have him in my corner," she said.
Since finding fame on Idol, Toscano is still getting used to having people talk about her relationships and asking about her love life.
"I really asked myself before I auditioned, 'Am I going to be able to handle everyone talking about my personal life?' And I am and that comes with the territory of this whole business," she said. "I guess if you're being talked about it's a flattering thing. It's a good thing that people want to know more about you so I'm okay with it."

A unique twist of fate
Kindergarten was gliding along smoothly for Ivan Weich until he was hit in the head by a rubber kickball at recess.
Thats when he found out he wasnt normal like the other kids.
He was blind.
Weichs parents knew he was born with the eye disease ocular albinism, but they didnt tell him. They wanted him to lead a normal life like anyone else. Going to school and hanging out with the other kids were all part of the plan.
Problem was, Weich could make out shapes and movement in the world around him, but he couldnt see anything clearly including the chalkboard at the front of the class, or even his face in the mirror.
At school his teacher moved the boys desk near the front of the classroom, but Weich found it embarrassing.
Now, at 37, Weich still tweaks his life to fit his poor vision, but he doesnt consider himself disabled, and he never asks people to feel sorry for him.
He was just promoted to Claims Representative at the Social Security Administration on Wheaton Way, the agency he has worked at for 12 years.
Weich taps the keys in a cubicle like all the other workers in the office, but he uses a special computer program called Magic that magnifies the words on the screen.
Its one of many tools Weich has used to live a normal life.
In grade school he followed along in class by reading a notebook-sized copy of the days chalkboard lesson that his teachers made just for him each day.
Then he started using a monocular lens, which allowed him to move his desk back with all the other students, and still see what was going on.
A doctor drilled a hole in Weichs glasses and glued a telescope-style lens over the hole.
Weich couldnt drive a car with the device because it limited his peripheral vision, but he could watch television or follow baseball games from the stands.
In college he had classmates take notes for him while he listened along.
During that time, Weich saw a flier for the National Federation of the Blind in a hallway at school, and he later joined.
The federation helps change what it means to be blind, Weich said.
I learned that it is respectable to be blind and it can be overcome. Blindness is not a tragedy at all.
Now Weich holds the position of Local Chapter President and President of Blind Public employees.
Although organizations like the National Federation of the Blind advocate for the blind in the workplace, Weich said blind people are still regularly discriminated against.
Seventy percent of the blind are still unemployed or unemployed, he said.
Weich got into his job working for the government because it had two elements he loved.
I was always fascinated with the field of medicine and the field of law and of course, at the Social Security administration I use both, he said.
He talks to clients about their physical ailments to diagnose their disability claim.
Then, when he makes a decision to accept or deny their claim, he has to notate the laws that correspond.
Weich doesnt know if he would have his vision improved if he were given a single wish.
If I really look around today, theres a lot of things I am glad I dont see, and theres some things I would like to see. I certainly wouldnt want to go through another 9-11.
He also wouldnt want to experience tragedies like his father dying, which happened three years ago.
In 1999, Weich was working for Social Security in San Diego but transferred to Seattle so he could help care for his dad, who was battling cancer.
He switched on and off with his brother at his fathers bedside for six months until his father died.
Heres a man I grew to love and respect and we had to see him sitting and dying and we couldnt do anything for him.
A little while later, his girlfriend died in a car accident.
Weich credits his strength during those years on his friends around him and his desire to keep busy.
Today he is a Boy Scout leader and Merit Badge Counselor, and he has training as an Emergency Medical Technician.
And even though he has to use his hand to guide his comb along the part in his hair because it is too hard to see his reflection in the mirror, smiles frequently bubble on Ivan Weichs lips.

A Danish court convicted four men of planning a terror attack at a Danish newspaper's office for publishing cartoons of the prophet Muhammed.
Danish authorities arrested the four men in December 2010, hours before the attack was to take place in Copenhagen.
The court sentenced the four co-conspirators to 12 years in prison.
Surveillance recordings played during the trial revealed the men talking about martyrdom. Police also found two automatic weapons, 122 rounds of ammunition, and more than $20,000 in cash in their possession.
Denmark has been subject to threats by Islamic terror groups since the cartoons were published, which sparked riots and angry demonstrations in many Muslim countries.

After consulting with a few plastic surgeon's they concur I need to have a 360 degree circumfrontial body lift along with a breast lift (no implants needed).. I have extra skin on my inner thigh's but not so much on the outer thigh's. Will the body lift include the removal of skin on the inner thigh's? Are their different type's of thigh lifts?
Will a 360 Degree Circumfrontial Body Lift Address the Extra Skin on my Inner Thighs?
Doctor Answers 12
A 360 degree body lift will not address excess skin on inner thighs
Kind regards,
Dr. H
Web reference: http://www.horndeski.com
Body Lift
In a nut shell, a lower body lift will only lift the outer thigh and does not provide much improvement of the inner thigh.
In terms of choices, these are the available thigh lift procedures in our practice.
1) Vertical thighplasty with simultaneous liposuction. This procedure will remove the excess inner thigh skin through an incision that goes from the pubic area to the inner knee. This will result in reduction of your though horizontally. This is not a lift.
2) Spiral thigh lift- This procedure is a modified inner thigh lift. The incision is placed under the buttock crease and then runs through the groin crease. Through this one spiral incision, the back of the thigh, the inner thigh, and the thigh front are lifted. This procedure is a more comprehensive lift than the inner thigh lift only.
3) Outer thigh lift. This lifts the outer aspect of the thigh. It can be done as an extension of the Spiral thigh lift or with a lower body lift. Combined with the Spiral thigh lift, it will give you a circumferential thigh lift correction.
From your description, it sounds as if you will benefit from a Spiral thigh lift. To learn more, please visit my thigh lift pages and look at our gallery.
Web reference: http://www.plasticsurgerybodycontouring.com/body-procedures-newport-beach/thigh-lift/
Body Lift Will Have Minimal Effect On The Inner Thighs
A circumferential body lift will provide some minor improvement in loose inner thigh skin but usually not enough to be completely satisfied. This will require a secondary inner thigh lift, whose need and type should be determined after the body lift procedure is done.
Web reference: http://www.eppleyplasticsurgery.com/bariatric.html

Will a Body Lift Address My Inner Thighs?
The type of of body lift you described will not address the laxity of your inner thighs. The body lift will address the loose, extra abdominal tissues with the tummy tuck part of the procedure. The lateral thigh will be addressed with the lateral thigh lift. The sagging of the buttocks will be addressed with a the buttock lift. The inner thighs are not lifted because the groin blocks the lifting forces from getting to the inside part of the thigh.
To correct the inner thighs, an incision needs to be made either on the inside of the thigh at the junction of the inner thigh and the groin or it may be made along the inside of the thigh running from the groin down to the knee. Exactly which form of thigh lift you need requires a consultation with a plastic surgeon familiar with management of these issues. Best of luck.
Inner thigh lift question
There are different types of inner thigh lifts and the choice of surgical technique would be dependent on a physical assessment. A circumferential body lift will not correct the excess and sagging skin of the inner thighs.
Circumferential Body Lift
Most plastic surgeons refer to a body lift as a circumferential body lift = belt lipectomy. This procedure is essentially 3 procedures in one: extended tummy tuck + waist/lateral thigh lift + buttock lift (with the option of buttock augmentation). So a body lift will not treat the upper medial thighs or inner thighs. Please visit with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to learn more about your options.
Cicumferential lower body lift
Circumferential lower body lift does not include the inner thighs.
However the inner thigh lift can be done at the same time.
There are different methode of inner thigh lift. One puts the scar in the groin area and meets with the circumferential lift. The other is longitudinal scar from groin to knee on the inner aspect of the thigh.
Be well and good luck!

Will a 360 Degree Circumferential Body Lift Address the Extra Skin on my Inner Thighs?
For more information, please go to my website at:
Inner thighs benefit more from thigh lifts than the 360 Body Lift...
Dear Journey to Health:
The 360 body lift will eliminate excess skin and fat of the pubic region, abdomen, lateral hips, lateral legs, and buttocks. It does not significantly lift or remove excess skin on the inner thighs.
The body lift is designed to address the outer or lateral thighs and does a significant amount of lifting and reduction in that area. There may be a subtle or very minor amount of lifting on the inner thighs from the body lift as it approaches the groin but not significantly.
There are several different types of thigh lifts. There is a crescent thigh lift where an incision is made on the inner portion of the leg and follows the underwear line on the inner portion of the leg. This goes from the front of the leg and extends back onto the buttocks. A crescent area of skin is removed from the upper inner thigh and is good for mild defects.
For more significant and more common medial thigh defects after weight loss, an incision typically is made from the groin down the inner leg. If the deformity is mild, an incision is made halfway down the thigh. If the deformity is more severe and there is excess skin and fat around the knee, the incision is carried down to the knee. If the excess skin and fat is more severe, the incision is carried down to the ankle.
Thank you,
J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FACS

WAILUKU - A sixth suspect indicted in a police undercover investigation into the illegal sale of prescription pills and other drugs at Kalama Park appeared in court Thursday, a day after she was arrested in Kihei.
Shayne Kennedy, 41, pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree methamphetamine trafficking and promoting a controlled substance in a park. A Sept. 24 trial is set for her in 2nd Circuit Court.
Kennedy is alleged to have sold methamphetamine to an undercover police officer at the Kihei park during Operation Kill Pill, run by the police Crime Reduction Unit from last September to November, said Deputy Prosecutor Tracy Jones. She said Kennedy is on probation after being sentenced last year on six counts each of third-degree promotion of a dangerous drug and possessing drug paraphernalia.
Article Photos
Jones asked that Kennedy be required to stay away from any public park, community center or school in Maui County.
"The state's concerned that she's going to change locations," Jones said. "This was dealing in a park."
Deputy Public Defender Jim Rouse objected to the request.
Second Circuit Judge Richard Bissen ordered that Kennedy not be at Kalama Park or its surrounding area but said the request that she stay away from all parks, schools and community centers was "a bit broad." He said he understood the state's concern and would consider a motion to add the conditions sought.
Kennedy also was ordered not to consume alcohol or illegal drugs and to report for random testing if she posts bail. She was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail at the Maui Community Correctional Center.
Another defendant, Lance Wainwright, 49, of Makawao also was being jailed in lieu of $50,000 bail after being arraigned earlier this month.
A story on Page A3 on Thursday incorrectly described his status.
The other defendants indicted and awaiting trial are brothers Frank Stone, 83, and Clarence Stone, 77, of Kihei, who were described as the main targets of the investigation. Police said the two men were known to sell different types of prescription pills at the park daily, with a confidential informant reporting they received $2,000 to $3,000 a day from their illegal activities.
Kihei residents Neilsa Rivera, 36, and Justin Ohler, 20, also were arrested in the investigation.

Trial set in Erie County Prison overdose case
A Washington man accused of causing the drug overdose death of an Erie County Prison inmate will stand trial in November.
Nathan Howard, 48, was formally arraigned Tuesday in Erie County Court on one felony charge of drug delivery resulting in death and four felony counts of contraband, which charge him with possessing the drugs in prison and furnishing them to three other inmates.
Howard, a public speaker who also goes by the name "Natural Tahuti," remains in jail on $500,000 bond.
At the brief hearing, Judge Shad Connelly said the trial would begin Nov. 10.
District Attorney Jack Daneri is prosecuting the case. Howard is represented by Erie lawyer Gene Placidi.
The case stems from a series of drug overdoses that took place in the prison in May.
Inmate Steven J. Burkhart, 35, overdosed the afternoon of May 2 and died at UPMC Hamot on May 5 of the combined effects of heroin and fentanyl, a powerful narcotic painkiller.
Two other inmates, Michael Dominick and Jonathan Amon, suffered separate nonlethal overdoses on April 28 and May 2, respectively.
According to court records, Howard had been placed in the Erie County Prison on April 27 after his arrest by Millcreek Township police on charges that he possessed with intent to deliver about 10 grams of suspected heroin and several other counts, including possession of drugs and possession of a prohibited firearm.
The prosecution claims Howard smuggled the drugs into the prison inside his body and then traded the drugs for prison commissary items.
According to prior testimony, Howard gave the drug to Dominick and Burkhart and Burkhart in turn gave a portion to Amon.
Erie County Detective Anthony Bozich has testified that the prison pod and its cells were searched after the overdoses, but no drugs were found. He said a candy wrapper was found in Burkhart's cell, and testing found it to contain fentanyl.

- Directed by Michael Ritchie
===Story=== For some reason, James Woods seldom does straight comedies, but this 1992 film comes close. Playing Gabriel Caine, a con man fresh out of jail, Woods teams up with aging prizefighter "Honey" Roy Palmer (Louis Gossett Jr.) to run a scam on the boss of Diggstown, John Gillon (Bruce Dern). The bet: that "Honey" Roy can defeat any 10 boxers that Gillon throws at him in 24 hours. A combination of scams and double-crosses ensues, in which Woods, at his motor-mouth best, spars wonderfully (verbally, of course) with both Dern and Gossett. Working with director Michael Ritchie, who thrives in a milieu that involves competition, Woods has fun in an underrated comedy-thriller. It's more ''The Sting'' than ''Raging Bull'', and thankfully so. ''--Marshall Fine'' ===DVD Features=== *Color *Widescreen

It's been almost a year since I worked on the PR team for the Harley-Davidson Museum launch. As I enjoy the start of summer, I can't help but think back to the interaction I had with my team, the client and the client's customers around the world.
Having the opportunity to get face-to-face with Harley-Davidson enthusiasts was a memorable experience I'm not likely to forget anytime soon. Everyone always had a story to share and an affinity for the brand that is unlike anything else I've seen. I'm a pretty passionate person and have my specific likes, but I can't say I've gone so far as to tattoo a brand name or image to my body. These people are hardcore!
Passion can go a long way in marketing. I love that here at L/C, I'm surrounded by people who bring that passion to work, helping to make our clients stand out amongst the media clutter out there and really make an impact on consumers.
This week, we launched an ad campaign that highlights our accomplishment in garnering more than 279 million impressions for the Museum's opening. This is definitely something I'm proud of; but to me, working with the Harley-Davidson Museum was more than a number, it was an adventure. From working on a satellite media tour at 3 a.m. to months of building relationships with travel writers across the country to late night team meetings, it may have been a long journey, but it was quite the ride.

Bose Bluetooth Headset unboxing & hands-on
When we first spotted the Bose Bluetooth Headset last month, we said it would have to do a lot in order to live up to both the $150 price tag and the PR hyperbole. It seems Bose took that as a challenge, since as of today the headset is fresh to the SlashGear test bench. Check out our first-impressions after the cut.
