TUPELO – The need for medical care has been nearly overwhelming to the organizers of the Tree of Life/Arbol de la Vida Medical Clinic.
The community response to that need has been heart-warming.
"I'm just most appreciative of the way everyone has joined together," said retired Tupelo pediatrician Bill Hilbun, a Tree of Life clinic board member.
Since it opened in January with one monthly clinic, the Tree of Life Clinic, which sees patients without health insurance with no restrictions on residence or income, has recorded 2,000 patient visits and filled 7,500 prescriptions without any paid staff.
The clinic added a second clinic day each month this summer. Now volunteer health care providers see patients on the first Wednesday evening and the third Saturday at the clinic's building at 541 W. Main St.
"We're averaging about 90 on Wednesday and 130 on Saturday," said clinic founder Dr. Joe Bailey. "It would not be possible without the volunteers. It's been a broad effort by the community."
People have sought care from across the region and beyond.
"We've had people come from Olive Branch, Tennessee, Columbus and Alabama," said clinic volunteer Jo Mark of Tupelo.
The clinic's doors are open when times have been toughest for many Northeast Mississippi workers.
"For all the people, especially those who have lost their jobs, it has been one of the best programs," said Elquin Gonzales, a Tree of Life board member.
Mission roots
Tree of Life Clinic has its roots in Mexico and South America. Many of the founding volunteers had participated in mission medical clinics and were inspired to put that model to work for people in Northeast Mississippi without access to medical resources.
Tupelo Pharmacist Bill Austin, a Tree of Life board member, clearly remembers a conversation with Bailey in the Houston airport on their way home from a mission trip in Mexico.
"We go out and do this work in Mexico, but there's a lot of people right in our backyard who need help," Austin said.
The Tree of Life clinic has grown much faster than anticipated in its first year.
"All the tumblers clicked at the right time," Bailey said.
Dr. Mark Shepherd lent his clinic building to give a place to open. Gilmore Memorial Hospital provided seed money for the first supply of medications.
Calvary Baptist Church offered the use of a building for a more permanent home and pays the utilities for the clinic. Volunteers renovated the building. Eldercare Prescriptions continues to provide medications worth $3,000 a month. Area eye doctors are collecting used glasses to give to the clinic's patients. North Mississippi Medical Center Pathology department takes care of lab tests for patients.
There is a group of 24 physicians and nurse practitioners, four pharmacists and more than 300 general volunteers who allow the clinic to operate. It takes about 25 volunteers to work each clinic. There is no paid staff.
Safety net
The Tree of Life clinic is one piece of the safety net community organizations have woven.
"We can't be all things to all people," Bailey said. "We have a good working relationship with the Good Samaritan clinic."
Antone Tannehill Good Samaritan Free Clinic, founded 18 years ago, provides a medical home to working Lee County residents who can't access health insurance. Volunteer health care providers see patients several days a week and can provide medical imaging, referrals to specialists and basic dental care.
The Tree of Life clinic hasn't seen as many children as initially anticipated. Hilbun attributes that to good coverage by Medicaid and CHIPs programs, as well as CATCH Kids, a volunteer medical organization that sees children in schools and weekly community clinics in Chickasaw, Lee and Pontotoc counties.
In the future
Providing basic dental care is at the top of the 2011 wish list for the Tree of Life clinic.
Tupelo Dentist Dr. Mindy Austin is leading the effort to provide some basic dental care through the Tree of Life Clinic, Bailey said. Equipment has been donated and dentists have volunteered their services. Organizers currently are working on a location to offer those services; a $20,000 grant from the Dorothy D. and George H. Ruff Foundation has been earmarked to make dental services a reality.
The clinic will continue to need the support of the Northeast Mississippi community to answer the call for medical care.
"If that spirit continues we'll be great," Hilbun said.

Mamou Police Department reports three narcotic arrests
By: MICHAEL BORDELON
News Editor
The Mamou Police Department's investigations led to the arrest of several individuals on drug charges in the month of February.
February 11
Caleb Roberts, 17, 902 East St., Mamou, was arrested after a search of his residence turned up narcotics.
Detective Caleb Semien said Mamou Police received information from confidential informants regarding suspected narcotics activity at Roberts' residence. Semien added police officers themselves observed some of this activity. A search warrant was secured for the residence, according to Semien, and officers executed the warrant on February 11.
When searching the home, officers located cocaine, marijuana and a firearm. Roberts was booked into the Mamou Jail on charges of possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana and illegal possession of a firearm.
February 23
Dustin Hamous, 24, 1008 Pecan St., Mamou, was charged with possession of methamphetamine and distribution of methamphetamine.
Semien said officers observed Monday night, February 23, what they believed to be sexual activity. However, when officers approached the suspects, they discovered a narcotics transaction was taking place. Hamous was booked into the Mamou Jail.
February 27
Trulie Jagneaux, 19, 1096 Acadian Drive, Ville Platte, was charged with distribution of xanax.
Semien said an undercover operation was conducted in which an undercover narcotics purchase was arranged and completed. Once the transaction concluded, officers arrested Jagneaux.
She was transported to the Evangeline Parish Jail.

Went to the range to road test my new Baby Desert Eagle. After about 25 rounds, the gun failed to fire. Upon inspection, the primer had a very tiny striker dent. I loaded a fresh round and failure to fire again. This time there was no striker dent but part of the metallic primer case was scratched off.

BAY CITY, MI — The Bay City Times pinpointed the most crash-prone intersections within Bay County but what about the other roadways within the area?
If you're curious to see how many crashes occurred at the intersections near your home or on your route to work, we have compiled a searchable database made up of crash numbers from the Michigan State Police.
The data is available for crashes that occurred from Jan. 1 2011 through Sept. 12, 2013.
How to use the database
To view data for a specific intersection, enter the name of the first roadway into the "Primary Road" field, while typing the name of the second roadway into the "Intersecting Road" field. For full information on crashes within 200 feet of a particular intersection, search again, switching the entry in the "Primary Road" field" with the "Secondary Road" field.
To see only crashes that resulted in injuries on a specific roadway, check the "Injury Crashes Only" box. The same goes for fatal crashes.
To search for crashes within a specific year, highlight that year when filling out other search fields. If only a year is selected, every crash that occurred within that year will appear.

LONG HILL — While removing snow from fire hydrants after a snowstorm last week, a fire truck slid on an icy roadway and crashed into a parked car, according to police.
At about 7:20 p.m. last Wednesday, Long Hill Police responded to Lackawanna Boulevard near Summit Avenue for a motor vehicle crash involving a Stirling Fire Department truck, police said.
John Melluso, 54, from the Stirling Fire Department, was driving the truck south on Lackawanna Boulevard when he hit a parked car and caused damage to the left-side mirror, rear wheel, quarter panel and rear bumper of the parked car, police said.
The parked car was owned by Thomas Bailey, of the Gillette section of town, police said.

Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Grove will propose Martin Scoble as the new Chief Executive of his office to the Humber Police and Crime Panel next week.
Martin is currently a Major in the British Army and, if appointed, will replace current Chief Executive Kevin Sharp who retires at the end of March. The Commissioner is required by law to appoint a Chief Executive, who also acts as monitoring officer to support and advise him in developing and delivering his strategic objectives, and complying with his statutory duties and responsibilities, they are also responsible for the management of the Commissioner's office and staff.
Matthew Grove said: "My Chief Executive is a critical player in supporting me in my work and Kevin's retirement presented an opportunity to find someone who will bring new ideas, skills and experience to my team.
Martin clearly demonstrated that in his military career he has developed all the outstanding leadership qualities and experience to fit into the role of Chief Executive, including strategy development, partnership working and scrutiny.
Although he works in a different environment, it was obvious to the appointments panel that his past experience was considerable and his range of skills will transfer across to the Office of PCC to lead and benefit my team. I have also used this opportunity to make further savings in my office by making a 10% reduction in the salary set by the previous Police Authority."

Press Releases
Betsy Smith: The Time for Truth has Arrived
"It's unbelievable really," said Paul Madore, co-chairman of the No Special Rights PAC. "It's not that Maine people are gullible. They are kind-hearted people. Politicians and institutional leaders have failed us on this issue. They won't tell the truth."
Mike Heath, Madore's friend and co-chair of the PAC, agrees, "These people must be stopped. The indoctrination of Maine's children in the public schools to tolerate sexual promiscuity in themselves and others is beyond evil. It is sick and insane."
Betsy Smith and her colleagues are the architects of forced genderless education of Maine youth. They believe that Maine's government should protect adults who force their impressionable son to act the part of a girl and use elementary school bathrooms designed for the opposite gender. Smith used Maine's government to force the Christian families of Orono to accept this a few years ago. It's beyond belief, and nobody is talking about it.
Madore promised to end the silence. Today he issued the first debate challenge of the campaign to Betsy Smith.
Madore said, "They must be forced to explain themselves. We want to do that in a debate. They need to tell the people of Maine why Maine needs to grant the benefits of civil marriage to sodomy based relationships. Sodomy is the opposite of marriage. It destroys marriage. I can't wait to hear the answer."
Let the debate begin.
Dan West signs on as Treasurer
"I'm thrilled Dan is joining the team," said the indefatigable Lewiston native Paul Madore. "Dan is one of our experienced ground troops. He's been out on the streets in the past gathering signatures. More important for this job though is his experience with administration and accounting."
The No Special Rights PAC is raising funds to fight the sodomy lobby's latest effort to promote their death-style in the pine tree state. Mike Heath is co-chair of the PAC.
Heath said he's known Dan for over thirty years. He remembers ministering alongside Dan in an evangelical youth group. Heath founded "Youth Christian Outreach" back when he was 19 years old.
Heath welcomed Dan and his wife to the team.
Dan acknowledged the difficulty of the battle ahead. He and his wife prayed about the opportunity. They both feel strongly that they must step up and accept this responsibility. Dan knows the people of Maine will overwhelmingly reject sodomy based marriage in November.
Heath and Madore Respond to Exclusive Claim to Leadership by Pro Family Groups
article published on a blog called "Catholic Maine" indicates the PAC was announced on April 23, 2012 and formed on April 20th. The article reports that the Protect Marriage Maine PAC will "lead the campaign" against sodomy based "marriage."
"They're a little late," said Paul Madore, co-chair of the No Special Rights PAC. "We got started years ago and haven't heard boo from them."
The executive director of the Christian Civic League of Maine, Carroll Conley, promised to organize a "broad and deep campaign across the state of Maine." Pastor Bob Emrich, the Chairman of the Protect Marriage Maine PAC promised to work with Muslims.
Mike Heath couldn't help but observe the irony in Emrich's promise to organize the "entire community of faith." In 2009 he refused to work with Heath claiming that Heath couldn't be trusted. Heath was then the leader of the Christian Civic League of Maine.
"He'll work with Maine's Muslims but not with us?" said Heath. "While we are eager to work with anyone who will fight sodomy based 'marriage' -- including Muslims -- we wonder why Reverend Emrich willfully excludes us."
Heath and Madore are not surprised by this power grab by the monied interests in the pro family movement. They expected it, and will not allow it to deter them in their effort to win this campaign.

What is the lipemic index?
What are the sudden pains in my shoulders?
Hope this helps.
If you expect Glycemic index I copied/pasted information from
Glycemic index (also glycaemic index, GI) is a ranking system for carbohydrates based on their instantaneous effect on blood glucose levels. It compares carbohydrates gram for gram surrounded by individual foods, providing a numerical, evidence-based index of postprandial (post-meal) glycemia. The concept was invented by Dr. David J. Jenkins and colleagues in 1981 at the University of Toronto.
Carbohydrates that break down hurriedly during digestion have the superlative glycemic indices. Such carbohydrates require less vivacity to be converted into glucose, which results in faster digestion and a quicker increase of blood glucose. Carbohydrates that break down slowly, releasing glucose gradually into the blood stream, hold a low glycemic index. A lower glycemic index suggests slower rates of digestion and absorption of the sugars and starches contained by the foods and may also indicate greater extraction from the liver and periphery of the products of carbohydrate digestion. Additionally, a lower glycemic response equates to a lower insulin demand, better long-term blood glucose control and a decrease in blood lipids.
The glycemic index of a food is defined by the nouns under the 2 hour blood glucose response curve (AUC) following the ingestion of a fixed portion of carbohydrate (usually 50 g). The AUC of the experiment food is divided by the AUC of the standard (either glucose or white bread) and multiplied by 100.
The effect on blood glucose from a high versus low glycemic index carbohydrate.The average GI advantage is calculated from data collected within 10 human subjects. Both the standard and test food must contain an equal amount of available carbohydrate. The result give a relative ranking for each tested food [1].
Glycemic index values for different foods are calculated by comparing measurements of their effect on blood glucose near an equal carbohydrate portion of a reference food. The current validate methods use glucose as the reference food, giving it a glycemic index plus of 100 by definition. This has the advantages surrounded by that it is universal and it results contained by maximum GI values of approximately 100. White bread can also be used as a reference food, giving a different set of GI values (if white bread = 100, after glucose ≈ 140). For people whose staple carbohydrate source is white bread, this have the advantage of conveying directly whether replacement of the dietary staple near a different food would result in faster or slower blood glucose response. The disadvantages next to this system are that the reference food is not well-defined, and the GI enormity is culture dependent.
How long does pain generally last from an acute cervical strain?uuuuuuuuuummmmmm do you aim glycemic index?

The number of cardiac ailments corrected or benefited by these drugs is continually increasing. "—Alberto Zanchetti, MD, professor of medicine, University of Milan, Italy.
"Calcium antagonists offer a whole new approach to therapy of heart disease. They are a quantum jump forward in pharmacology, analogous to the introduction of β-adrenergic blocking agents in the 1960s."— Michael D. Klein, MD, director of cardiology, Boston University School of Medicine.
During the past few years, many US physicians have either heard statements such as these or read more detailed accounts of this new class of drugs, such as the two-part reviews in

Preaching to the choir?
October 31, 2008 at 3:15 pm in News by Marilyn - VN Staff
As I receive and forward links to interesting articles and news bites about both presidential campaigns, it's pretty clear to me that the people on my email list already know who they're going to vote for and that I'm simply preaching to the choir.
With seven weeks until election day, what are you doing — and what will you be doing — to help get your candidate elected?

EdTrayes.com will benefit photojournalism and MJ students.
For roughly an hour each day, light seems to come alive at the bottoms of some of Arizona's slot canyons. Revealed in stunning, yet often subtle colors, are unearthly details of these geographic wonders.
It's a sight most will never experience—one of the reasons Journalism Professor Ed Trayes once climbed deep inside the canyons to capture such moments with his camera.
"The trick was to never get the sky in the photograph, because that would blow everything out," Trayes says, subconsciously giving a lesson as he talks about his work. "What you try to do is capture the light as it squeezes through slits on the canyon's surface and is picked up on the walls."
Photos by Ed Trayes
These images are just a few from an ever growing online collection of more than 11,000 that have come from Trayes' cameras. They are now part of the Ed Trayes Photography Archives, which he has donated to the Temple University School of Media and Communication. A work still in progress, it is expected that eventually 50,000 of Trayes' images dating back to the 1940s will be available for viewing, free educational use and possible purchase at www.edtrayes.com. Proceeds will provide scholarship funds for photojournalism and master of journalism students.
"I'm in my 46th year of teaching at Temple. It's been a privilege to be here," Trayes says. "I want to do something that might benefit future students."
The unveiling of his archives also marks the first time many of his students (past and present) have seen any of their mentor's work. While he ensures his classes are exposed to the work of great photographers, Trayes has kept his pictures out of the mix.
"You can show a lot of things by a lot of people, but the teacher should not show nor present a bias. You want every student to find his or her visual voice," he says.
Photos from the vineyard
The collection includes images from Philadelphia, Jordan, Africa, the Virgin Islands and many places in between. But his favorite place to shoot is around his summer home on Martha's Vineyard.
"It's never the same and you never get tired of it, so you just keep going deeper and deeper. You would think that living in the same place and doing a lot of the same things every summer would be repetitive, but it isn't," he says. "It's always new and it's always different. I think that's part of the challenge; to try to find the things that you haven't shot, to continually try to do better with the ones you have."
Trayes first discovered photography as a 10-year-old newspaper delivery boy in Bangor, Pa. The first of the 100 customers on his route was the owner of a photo studio. "He insisted that I bring the paper to wherever he was and, generally, he was in the darkroom," Trayes recalls. "I learned so much from him."
His passion grew. Trayes shot for newspapers and for military publications during his time serving in the Marines. He started teaching photojournalism courses at Temple in 1967 "and before you knew it, we had a [photojournalism] sequence."
The longtime professor has a camera with him constantly and is always taking photos—which speaks to the depth of his archives.
"It probably means that I don't see as much as other people because for a lot of the time I'm looking at everything through a lens … but I think it's worth it. You become an engaged observer, rather than one who's just walking through."

Alexander Building Construction Co. recently completed a three-story addition to the Buckhorn Office Building for Geisinger Health System in Bloomsburg, which provided an additional 37,025 square feet of administrative office space. Construction began in August of 2011 and was completed in 10 months.
A part of the Butz Family of companies, Alexander worked collaboratively with Geisinger Health System and the architect/engineer, Borton-Lawson, to ensure minimal disruption to business operations that were ongoing in the existing building throughout construction. Coordination and extensive pre-planning was critical on all aspects of the project, according to a news release. Alexander also constructed the original 94,000-square-foot building in 2009 which was designed for this expansion.
"High praise and credit must be given to our project team and to our client and design partners," says Rick Seitz, president of Alexander Building Construction Co. "The project team's commitment to maintaining Geisinger's access to the existing building and a collaborative approach to the project's goals were a crucial component of the successful completion of this project. Our team also led the building information modeling process during design and construction resulting in an as-built model of the building and its materials and equipment that Geisinger can now use to maintain the building and each component's life cycle."
Along with increased office space, the news release said features of this project include:
A three-story atrium connecting the existing building with the addition
An expansive roof skylight allowing significant natural light into the atrium and perimeter offices
Utility upgrades included an underground rainwater collection system to collect and utilize rainwater and also serve as an emergency water supply back-up for the HVAC system/cooling tower
The existing parking lot was expanded and a new parking lot was added to provide additional spaces for the added occupancy of the addition. A walking trail surrounding the entire facility was also added for employee wellness. The project was completed safely without any recordable accidents or injuries.
"As with all of our previous projects, it was a pleasure working with Geisinger Health System on this latest endeavor," says Seitz. "It speaks to the professionalism and expertise of our project team that Geisinger continues to request our construction management services on their new projects."

GMail Nudges AOL Email in US
It is now the third largest Web mail service in the U.S. In July, Gmail nudged past AOL Email with 37 million unique visitors compared to 36.4 million for AOL, according to comScore estimates. That puts Gmail within sight of the No. 2 player, Windows Live Hotmail, which has 47 million unique visitors. After that there is a wide gulf separating Yahoo Mail and its 106 million monthly unique visitors.

text: Anyone still on this thread. Unfortunately I still have the "brain fog" from when I did my final degree exams back in 1975. Have never got to to the cause or cure. Lately I am suspecting that my immune system was damaged by excessive oxytetracyclene (for acne) followed by a viral infection and stress (exams). So I think I have high levels of toxins, as happens with ME/CSF sufferers, and this is the reason for my symtoms. Who knows though .... doctor at the time gave me Librium!!!

Three Keys To Success!
Recently, our team decided to listen to the renowned personal achievement program – Psychology of Achievement – by Brian Tracy.
I was first exposed to this program 20 years ago. It was given to my boss as I moved into my first supervisory role in recruiting. It not only had a profound personal impact on me, but was the catalyst for writing The Recruiter Handbook and creating our Recruiter Academy Certified Recruiter Program.
In one of the modules, Brian provides a wonderfully simple recipe on how to build credibility. In his studies, he has found there are three keys to success with respect to building credibility:
- Likability – If your clients personally like you, it will go a long way towards building credibility. Conversely, if someone doesn't like you, building credibility is pretty tough.
- Trust – being trustworthy is very important. Your clients must trust that you are working in their best interests, and that they can share confidential information and solicit your input without recourse.
- Knowledge – You have to be respected for your knowledge of the department and business line you provide recruitment support for. In all facets of recruiting including sourcing, assessment, and driving an excellent customer experience.
Think about it. If your clients like you, trust you and respect you for your knowledge….you would probably get high marks for credibility.
Credibility as a Recruitment Business Partner = Customer Satisfaction.
If one of your goals is to become a more respected Recruitment Business Partner, I would encourage you to think about your key customers and reflect on how you think they would "rate" you in these three areas:
Likability | Trust | Knowledge
I hope you are having a Perfect Week!

Just to clear up potential confusion: Is HIIT the same as the sprint workouts Mark puts out. Where one sprints for about 50-100m, then rests a minute, repeated about 6-10 times. Those take me about 10 min, and they certainly get the heart rate up, but the rest time seems too long to be considered HIIT. Though quite honestly, I'm not sure I want to do HIIT if it means wanting to puke my guts out everyday. PB sprinting on the other hand is something I could see myself doing everyday. I actually kind of enjoy it.
When I woke up this morning, I tried a HIIT workout off youtube that involved jump squats, jumping jacks, and high knees. It used tabata-style intervals. I wasn't even able to finish the 20 sec of jump squats without stumbling a couple of times. Probably due to my legs in a recovery state from my strength training. Clearly, such motions will be impossible for me to sustain everyday.
I think I'm going to try a full body strength workout twice a week, and sprint on all the other days (except my 24 hr fast day). In the morning, I'll give my self a boost using a mini-HIIT session doing a motion like jumping jacks so as not to aggravate recovering muscles. How does this sound? Or is this still not high intensity enough based on your experience?

Any rearguard action may be critical and is sometimes fraught with danger. Such a concept, however, does not usually apply to what is commonly thought of as the friendly enema, gently cleansing and often soothing. Formerly more highly considered as a valuable therapeutic adjunct than it is today, it has come down through the ages variously designated as clysma, clyster, enema of high or low degree, soapy or sudsless, nutrient or lacking nourishment, and even dignified by such a technically descriptive term as "colonic irrigation."
The lexicographers, going into greater detail, refer to analeptic enemas containing salt to stimulate thirst; blind (or water free) enemas to relieve flatulence; nutrient enemas presenting various bills of fare, such as Dobell's, bearing scraped boiled meat, pancreas emulsion, boiled arrowroot, pepsin and pancreatin; Ewald's, with a content of eggs, wheat flour boiled in a 20 per cent grape sugar solution, and red wine; Leube's,

Standing with Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey and police officials from around the Philadelphia area, Vice President Biden on Tuesday urged passage of President Obama's American Jobs Act.
Addressing about 200 people, mostly students and community activists, at Houston Hall at the University of Pennsylvania, Biden said the jobs bill would help first-responders in cities and towns throughout the country.
"We've introduced $4 billion to put 18,000 officers on the street," Biden said of the act. He said about 7,000 firefighters would be added nationwide.
He said that over the last 18 months, close to 10,000 police officers have been laid off across the United States. Biden said Flint, Mich., had to cut its police force by about 50 percent.

AMD Announces New R9 and R7 Radeon Graphics Cards (Updated)
AMD will be replacing most of the their GPU line-up really soon, so step right this way to find out more about the new AMD Radeon "Hawaii" graphics cards that will be made available next month.
AMD Previews "Hawaii" GPU-based Graphics Card
AMD teased us with a reference unit of the top of the line "Hawaii" GPU based graphics card. So step right in and take a quick look at what you might be purchasing soon.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Showdown - ASUS and MSI
The GeForce GTX 780 is positioned as a more powerful update to the GTX 680, and it offers a value proposition to system builders who aspire to own a GTX Titan. We pit two custom cards from ASUS and MSI; we even assess their performances in a 2-way SLI configuration! So step right in to find out how they fared.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Custom Card Shootout
We weren't too impressed by the reference NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760, but can NVIDIA's add-in partners do any better with their custom cooler models? It's time to find out as we test overclocked versions from ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI and Palit.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 - The Gaming Card for the Masses?
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 card is touted as the card of choice for the mainstream gamers. With its ideal sweet spot price of US$249 and its alleged graphic compute prowess to tackle demanding game titles, we find out if it is truly an ideal choice for the masses.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 Custom Card Shootout
NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 770 reference card impressed us with performance surpassing NVIDIA's previous generation flagship GeForce GTX 680 card. Now it's time to see what NVIDIA's add-in partners can do as we round up cards from ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI and Palit.
Interview with MSI Corporate Executive VP, Mr. Charles Chiang
We managed to speak to Mr. Charles Chiang, who is the corporate executive vice president at MSI, at the end of the MSI press conference at Computex 2013. Find out what he meant when he emphasized on growing the pie through MSI's business collaborations.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 - More than Just a Rebadging Exercise
Hot on the heels of the GeForce GTX 780 is the new GeForce GTX 770. This new card is based on a slightly tweaked version of the GK104 GPU found in the GeForce GTX 680. We take it for a spin to see what's new.
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Windforce 3X OC - Faster, Cooler, More Powerful
Gigabyte's Windforce 3X is the first factory-overclocked GeForce GTX 780 custom card to reach our labs. Overclocked 91MHz on the core to an impressive 954MHz, the Windforce 3X is also armed with a mean-looking triple-fan cooling system. We put it to the test.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 - A Watered-Down Titan?
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 is powered by the same GK110 that drives the GTX Titan. Sporting 2304 CUDA cores, which is about 16 per cent less than Titan's, and 50 per cent more than the GTX 680, the card seems to be a rehashed Titan that is positioned as a more powerful update to the GTX 680. Find out how it actually fares!

Top 5 Bingo Videos
July 19th, 2012 by Jim Griffin
Bingo is one of the most popular games on the planet. There are bingo clubs all over the UK. Some of the top bingo sites payout multiple jackpots per second. It's even played in third world countries for money that amounts to pennies. Despite being so popular, there's a huge shortage of bingo humour. If you spot a funny bingo video, or a joke worth sharing, please contact us so we can share. Having scoured the web, here's our first edition of the top 5 bingo videos:
#5 From Love to Bingo in 837 Images
This is a well-produced video worth sharing, though not exactly for humour. This video does however cover one of bingo's popular stereotypes "it's an old folks game".
#4 Friend's Mom Playing Bingo
An American Mom enjoying her live bingo, whilst a cruel friend of her teenage daughter records it for our viewing pleasure. Better camera, sound quality and a bit shorter this could have been a YouTube classic.
#3 Indian Bingo Caller
Indian Bingo Caller is a video that for sure could have been longer. Still a hilarious 17-second clip from the always funny comedian Omid Djalili:
#2 Family Guy Bingo
Albert Einstein is often quoted as saying the only way to win at roulette is to steal chips off the table when the dealer isn't looking. Not a bad idea for beating bingo either:
#1 Everyone Wants to be an 888 Lady
One of the original commercials for 888Ladies, is still one of the funniest online. Bingo Online has long attempted to break the female bingo biased. Even though bingo is a largely a female market, how silly is it that every operator thinks its players are 8-year old girls that are fans of My Little Pony and Rainbow Brite? Kudos to 888Ladies.com! for poking fun at their own stereotypical bingo site.

www.Spamination.net did a study on who's fundamentally better in Brawl, Mario or Sonic.
Friggin hilarious, check it out.
i always did cheer for mario in the flash videos
the mario that's roomed with mush
my wii is not connected to the internet, so i can't play brawl online for a bit....please do not spam inbox with friend code requests

Thanks for the sweet sig Idjut!!!
MoH:H2 persona: WOAguitar
I tried 2 tournaments with every character as lvl 9 CPU. I gave up (you need at least 1 Human), and I replaced my char with some other char on the 2nd tournament (you can't fit all characters).
Guess what...?
Olimar won
If you want to add me in Brawl, PM me that you're going to (and include your brawl name and friend code). Also, PM me if you delete me, so I can delete your name, too. I need space, ya know.
For anyone who added me in Brawl and deleted me because it still said "Awaiting Registration", please re-add me. It just means we both haven't been online at the same time.
I think we all know that Ligi is a superior sidekick to Tails... still, I'd like to see that fight too.
dumb study, even though it was a 99 stock match, one match enough is not enough to call it quits, if you remember your science classes in middle school and high school, then you would no you did everything at least 3 times to get the most accurate results. Yea this is a little biased as i like sonic more. Obviously nintendo would make mario better, how could they make sega's posterboy better than theirs?

Birds of prey continue to be the targets of systematic criminal persecution, despite having been fully protected for decades.
All birds of prey have been protected since 1954 (except for the sparrowhawk which received protection in 1961). Despite this protection, birds of prey continue to be the target of systematic criminal activity.
Bird of prey persecution includes poisoning, shooting, nest destruction and the illegal use of cage traps and spring traps (eg. pole traps).
Scotland experiences a disproportionate amount of the known illegal bird of prey killing in the UK. Several studies have shown a strong association between the killing of birds of prey and management for game bird shooting, especially in the uplands.
Of the defendants convicted of offences relating to the persecution of birds of prey since 1996, around 75 per cent were linked with game interests. All of these were gamekeepers. We believe that the core of the problem lies with those managers and employers within the shooting industry who are allowing or encouraging gamekeepers to break the law.
In 2000 the government published the UK Raptor Working Group Report which outlined the nature of the problem and gave a series of recommendations. Despite these recommendations, the problem remains serious, particularly on upland estates managed for grouse shooting.
In 2008, we launched a bird of prey campaign to raise the profile of this problem and to encourage the government agencies to take more action.
In February 2009, the UK government launched its top six UK Wildlife Crime Priorities. One of these was bird of prey persecution in relation to the golden eagle, white-tailed eagle, hen harrier, red kite and goshawk. We hope this will encourage more determined enforcement action against those killing these iconic species.
The following three species are particularly targeted and highlight the problem of bird of prey persecution.
The hen harrier, relative to its population, is considered the most persecuted bird of prey in the UK because of its unpopularity on grouse moors. More...
Raptor study group data consistently identify poorer breeding performance by peregrines on managed grouse moor than on other upland land-use areas. More...
As a breeding bird, this species is absent from suitable habitat in several areas where grouse moors are the predominant form of land management. More...
10 September 2007
It would appear that legal protection has failed to safeguard raptors, particularly the hen harrier. This is partly due to the difficulty in detecting incidents and obtaining evidence for prosecutions.
Permitting control of these species to enhance the number of game birds shot, which would be illegal under European law, could open the floodgates for increased persecution and could further jeopardise the status of the species.
The answer to this conflict must lie in a long-term solution to the habitat management problems and not the short term quick fix killing of rare and threatened birds of prey. The RSPB and others with interests in moorland management are working together to find solutions.

If you struggle with the effects of eyelid creasing even after using primers, potions and concealers then this might be your lucky day. I'd come to deal with the fact that no matter if I used cream based or powder eyeshadows, in t-minus two hours I was going to have the tell-tale signs of that product embedded into my eyelids. It wasn't until a month ago that a fab-fab-fabulous new cosmetics range joined the b-glowing family that I realized there was hope.
And that product line my friends is Ellis Faas.
The entire product range is to die for but one of the stand outs for me was their eye shadow products. It must be all in the formulation, in particular Ellis Faas Creamy Eyes. It's has a miracle consistency and transforms from a wet to matte powder upon application. The brush shape and thickness makes it easy to apply and direct exactly where you want it to go. The only other step is blending the color out if you desire for more of a smoky look. Truthfully, I can wear this product for 8 hours and when I get home and look in the mirror it looks exactly like I just put it on! It says put and the results look fresh even through heat, rain and other environmental elements known to be makeup's worst enemy.
One of my personal favorites is the Ellis Faas Creamy Eyes E107 because of it's wearble mushroom/taupe shade which keeps it's cool, wearable factor from summer to winter. This shade was also recently featured in Gwyneth Patlrow's Goop E-newsletter where her makeup artist fell in love with it during a day to evening makeover. Another favorite around the office is Creamy Eyes E104 as we find it the perfect sexy, smoky eye color.

I've been getting some customer service enquiries lately in regards to perfumes that are safe for pregnant women. Although every doctor will tell you differently I've heard that during pregnancy women should shy away from using fragrances that contain chemcials, in particular phthalates. We do carry some more natural based perfumes at b-glowing and thought it would be great to draw attention to some of these because people normally think that natural based scents may not be as nice or last as long. You're wrong.
Zorica of Malibu
Some argue with me, but this fragrance reminds me of the beach. This brand uses organic and natural ingredients in all their bath and body products and are scented with 100% pure essential oils so this is a great option for anybody who also experiences fragrance sensitivity. The Zorica of Malibu Gratitude Perfume Oil smells of grapefruit & vanilla and is a sensual feminine scent. It's also totally chemical and alcohol free so feel free to safely apply anywhere. If you loved 88 Orange then we at the office think this is a nice counterpart.
All products in the Kai range are phthalate, sulfate and paraben free. This particular scent brings with it the aromas and images of a tropical paradise: jasmine, gardenia, lily and tuberose work together to create the essence of Hawaii to your pulsepoints. Choose from Kai's Eau de Parfum or Perfume Oil and say aloha!
Choose from an assortment of perfumes that are made with certified organic and responsible ingredients. The perfumes are completely botanical and containg no harsh preservatives, sulfates or synthetic fragrances. Persephenie's Datura perfume has tender notes of Egyptian jasmine and lily that's cradled in caramel and musk.

All,

I wanted to send out an update on this. I discovered that Feng Office (formerly OpenGoo) has a "community edition":

http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengoo/files/

So far it seems like it is going to do exactly what we need it to do. it has very flexible and extensible reporting capabilities. Perhaps the biggest seller for us so far is the template. This allows you to create an automatic set of common tasks and milestones for new projects.

I have also found that it seems very easy to customize. For example, my manager prefers the term "Initiatives" over "Projects" or "Workspaces". This was very easy to change.

In summary, if you are looking for something aimed at development that includes bug tracking and issue resolution, you should probably look elsewhere, so Redmine. However, if you're not necessarily looking for something that is primarily focused on development, then you should really take a look at Feng.

Hope this helps!

Nick,

I started a thread on this about 2 months ago or so, so I can't want to see what some of the other responses will be. I've had some luck with ProjectPier,( http://www.projectpier.org/) but it doesn't "fit" exactly what we need.

Subject: [Chugalug] Open Source Project Management

Im looking for something to do project management tracking.

Most of the stuff ive found out there is more geared toward software
development (redmine or basecamp for example)

I would like to find something for an IT department, not software development.

Im looking for something that does a timeline, resource management,
time management and some collaboration that doesnt have too steep of a
learning curve so we can get up and running on it quickly.

Something that is opensource, free and runs on linux would be ideal.

Anyone have any suggestions, or have any opinions on stuff they have
used or looked at before and did or did not like for whatever reason?
(dont want to waste my time evaluating something that a bunch of
people tell me to stay away from)

Thanks for any advice.

Julianne Hough Gives Gavin DeGraw a Lap Dance During a DWTS Night Out

Julianne Hough, Derek Hough, Chelsie Hightower and Ricki Lake joined Karina Smirnoff to support her former partner Gavin DeGraw at his concert at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
"At @GavinDeGraw concert with the gang!" Smirnoff Tweeted, along with a photo of the group. "Woo hoo!"
Following the show, the gang made their way to the Living Room Lounge at the W Hollywood for the hotel's popular Sunday Jazz Series, where Kenny G, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Lucy Hale and fellow former DWTS contestant Michael Bolton were all on hand as well.
"Julianne gave Gavin a lap dance," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "It was in front of her brother and their whole DWTS crowd!"

"I'm not fat, and I'm not a size 4," says Lake, 43, who's between a size 6 and 8. "I'm constantly working every day not to beat myself up for it."
Assessing herself, Lake, who returns to daytime on her weekday, nationally syndicated The Ricki Lake Show, set to premiere Sept. 10, says: "I'm definitely not in as good as shape as I was on Dancing with the Stars. Part of me gets mad at myself that I didn't keep it up – but it's impossible. I'm not dancing for seven hours a day anymore. I can't maintain that."
