Q&A: Philip Galanes' 'Social Q's' in the age of digitalism
Once a week Philip Galanes answers questions about how to act and react in a polite society - a different path from his livelihood as an entertainment lawyer. And his job as an interior design consultant for private clients. And another job as a novelist, first with "Father's Day" in 2004 and then with "Emma's Table" in 2008.
But the questions are perfect for his Social Q's column, which runs each Sunday in The New York Times. Galanes gathered several of his most popular and most peculiar questions in a book called "Social Q's: How to Survive the Quirks, Quandaries, and Quagmires of Today" (Simon & Schuster). »Read Full Article

Quasimondo's 'Robot Cabaret' still needs some debugging
Imagine a future in which robots rule, having reduced humans to second-class citizens with whom they rarely interact. Or, if you'd like, think about how fully our own lives are now enmeshed in technology - often reducing us to machine-obsessed zombies.
That world is in full bloom in "Robot Cabaret," which the Quasimondo Milwaukee Physical Theatre opened - wryly enough - on Valentine's Day. »Read Full Article

One prospective bone marrow donor had second thoughts and backed out of a potential life-saving transplant appointment at the 11th hour, failing to make his scheduled flight from Germany.
Heartbroken with the deflating news, 1997 Clearview Regional High School graduate Ryan Petters, diagnosed with leukemia on July, 2011, lay in his Charleston, S.C. hospital room, as the arduous donor search resumed.
And on April 7, 2012, just when it seemed little else could go wrong for Ryan, it did.
Ryan's wife, Eileen, was killed that morning in a head-on automobile accident on a country road about a mile from their Anderson, S.C. home — and four hours from Charleston — that miraculously spared the lives of their two children, neither of whom was injured.
Ryan, just five weeks from his rescheduled transplant, was told the horrific news in his hospital room.
Nine months later — on 12-12-12 — after a second bone marrow donor from Germany came through but a series of rejections marred the recovery process, Ryan, just 34, died in the Charleston hospital.
Numbed by the chain of events, long-time Mullica Hill residents Roy and Enid Petters, Ryan's parents, attempt to get on with their live."By the grace of God, we're doing fine," says Roy.
"But we have our moments," says Enid.
Roy works as a sales representative, Enid as a school nurse.
The couple had three sons: Ryan, Wade and Daniel. Ryan, a better than average student, was a two-sport varsity letterman (football and basketball) at Clearview.
Ryan took college courses in Connecticut and South Carolina and launched a career in the food industry, managing chain restaurants and meeting Eileen when both worked at a Texas Roadhouse.
Married seven years, the couple had two children, Autumn and Marley, both of whom now reside in Omaha, Neb., with their uncle Wade and aunt Kim and older cousins Dominic and Kelsey. Ryan's brother and his wife have custody of Ryan's children.
Things went well after Ryan was diagnosed. His first chemotherapy regimen was successful and Ryan was in remission by Thanksgiving 2011. But the cancer resurfaced two months later and Ryan faced a second battery of chemo while the search was on for a bone marrow donor.
Disheartened by the news that the first declared donor had backed out, Ryan was re-energized when the transplant team found another German donor who produced.
Ryan finally had his transplant, but not without problems.
"The transplant went well initially but there was an issue of rejection," Enid says. "It seemed like there always was something else, including a switch of medications."
But after he was weaned off steroids last year, Ryan was discharged from the hospital and seemed on his way to recovery. He was discharged in August and was in and out of the hospital three more times until returning, for the last time, in November.
"He was quite the trouper," his mom says. "He had a lot of fatigue and his immune system was compromised, but he fought hard."
The last time Ryan saw his children was last September.
Says Enid, "He wanted to be with them."
Ryan was cremated and a memorial service was held for him here. His dad hopes to comply with his son's wish to scatter his ashes in the ocean.
"He loved people, loved sports and had a lot of friends," says Enid. "He was a very outgoing guy."
A golf benefit, organized by family friend Mike DiCiccio, will be held June 8 at Centerton to boost a trust fund designed to help educate Ryan's children.

VIENNA, 23 August 2011 – UNIDO welcomed a renewed financial and programmatic commitment from Mexico about UNIDO's work that will further enhance the already substantial cooperation in priority areas and will facilitate a closer partnership in developing joint activities at the country level as well as at the regional State level.
This renewed financial commitment was the focus of a recent meeting between the Undersecretary for Administrative Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Julio Camarena Villaseñor, the Permanent Representative of Mexico to UNIDO in Vienna, Ambassador Alejandro Díaz y Pérez Duarte, and the Director-General of UNIDO, Kandeh K. Yumkella.
Calling the partnership "a sign of Mexico's renewed confidence in the mandate and work of the Organization", Yumkella added: "The ongoing efforts of UNIDO's Programme for Change and Organizational Renewal have already resulted in identifiable efficiency gains, greater transparency and more reliance on decentralized programme management. This will serve as a basis for delivering tangible results, also in our cooperation with Mexico."
For Mexico, UNIDO's drive to continuously improve its services is of utmost importance, as it allows the Organization to better prepare for the future. The Director-General also emphasized that UNIDO and its partners have developed a range of technical cooperation initiatives with Mexico in the field of environment, renewable energy and green industry, and will continue to do so.
UNIDO activities in the country are covered by its regional office in Mexico D.F.

Your own personalized stock watchlist!

As a country, China has never been big on coffee drinking... that is, until Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX ) settled there. Starbucks stock has climbed more than 13% year to date, helped by expansion in emerging markets such as China and India. With about 18,000 stores worldwide, it's hard to believe that Starbucks is capable of more retail growth . However, thanks to Starbucks' rapid international expansion, chiefly in China, Starbucks stock should continue to reward investors for years to come.
Global opportunities abound
Starbucks opened its first store in China in 1998, after securing a licensing deal with Mei Da Coffee company. Today, the coffee giant operates nearly 18,000 retail stores in 60 countries. Nevertheless, Starbucks plans to have 1,500 locations in China by 2015, and 4,000 stores in the broader China and Asia-Pacific region by the end of 2013. At this rate, Starbucks' international business is on track to outpace that of Starbucks' U.S. division by 2022.
Aside from the obvious scale advantages this creates, Starbucks stock should also benefit from the ongoing success of the company's loyalty program in China. In fact, it has already sold more than 2 million My Starbucks Reward cards in China -- representing the highest member average per store across Starbucks' global retail network.
Moreover, Starbucks opened 516 new stores in China last year, which helped boost net revenues by 22% for the company's China and Asia-Pacific segment during its second quarter. Not to mention, Starbucks' same-store sales in the Asian region jumped 8% for the period. This bodes well for Starbucks' future in China and the greater Asia-Pacific region going forward.
Bottom line
We're still in the early stages of Starbucks' international growth story. Opportunities in the Asia-Pacific segment should play out well for Starbucks stock in the years to come, as the company is set to add as many as 4,000 stores in that market alone. While China is certainly not the whole story for Starbucks, winning over the Chinese market is critical to the stock's future success.
However, investors don't have to go to China to profit from our increasingly global economy. In fact, Starbucks isn't the only American stock that's aggressively pushing into new markets overseas.
The Motley Fool's free report "3 American Companies Set to Dominate the World" shows you how to capitalize on three other stocks that are making big moves abroad. Click here to get your free copy before it's gone.
Editor's note: A previous version of this article misstated the number of total Starbucks locations and the number of locations planned in China. The Fool regrets the error.

by Michael Hickins
Michael Missing, the violent, lout-fetishist con-man antihero of these 11 linked stories may be the nastiest fictional figure this side of Bret Easton Ellis. He hates his mom, lusts after his sister and thinks nothing of crushing a stranger's skull with a baseball bat. If books were rated, this one would get an X for language alone.
But to lump these stories with other nihilistic young authors' fiction is to do a disservice to Hickins, who has more than shock value in mind. Beneath the violence are wise—and wryly funny—tales of survival. "In my sleep," Hick-ins writes, "my dreams were still a kid's. Awake, it was a question of control, hiding what I felt, and never feeling afraid. Anybody can be an adult."
For all his conning and grifting, Missing knows a few things about life: "I had...Tranquila's necklace as a reminder of that scarce emotion, sentiment" and about himself: "At least now I won't have to tell her the truth about my job. And that I have never sung with the boys. And that I have never held a friend to comfort his grief. And that I have never overheard someone say, 'Michael is a real good guy.' "
For some readers, the beauty of such images as "I wanted to stifle my old girlfriend to death with the thick yarn of my voice," will not mitigate lurid rapes and murders. But they may, at least, provoke interest in this first-time New York City—born author's next move. (Knopf, $18)

The tragic Newtown, Connecticut massacre where a heavily armed man walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School and within a couple minutes, killed 26 people – 20 of them children, is seemingly having a lasting effect on the consciousness of caring Americans.
Following legendary college coach Jim Boeheim's third-ranked Syracuse Orange's 72-68 victory over Detroit in the Gotham Classic, thus becoming only the third Division I men's coach to win 900.
Boeheim, 68 and in his 37th year at his alma mater, is 900-304 and joined an elite fraternity. Mike Krzyzewski (936) and Bob Knight (902) are the only other men's Division I coaches to win that many games.
It was a sobering end to what was a memorable evening for Syracuse basketball. Boeheim quickly put his landmark achievement behind him as his thoughts in the postgame press conference moved to the re-occurening mass shootings that are engulfing America,
"To me, it's just a number," said Boeheim, whose first victory was against Harvard in 1976. "If I get 900, have I got to get more? That's why maybe it's just not that important to me because to me it's just a number, and the only number that matters is how this team does.
With his wife, Juli, looking on at the postgame press conference and his young children close by, Syracuse coach Boeheim's final remarks were not about his milestone 900th career victory.
Instead, he was thinking about the Newtown victims.
"If we cannot get the people who represent us to do something about firearms, we are a sad, sad society," Boeheim said. "If one person in this world, the NRA president, anybody, can tell me why we need assault weapons with 30 shots — this is our fault if we don't go out there and do something about this. If we can't get this thing done, I don't know what kind of country we have."
Boeheim was not along, following first-year Winthrop basketball coach Pat Kelsey Eagles' 65-55 loss to No. 7 Ohio State he spoke about last week's school shootings in Newtown, Conn.
Using his postgame press conference following the his team's loss to Ohio State, Kelsey during the press conference, spoke passionately about the need for people to "stand up" and keep the United States the "Greatest Country. Ever." He challenged national leaders to bring about changes necessary to prevent future tragedies.
Kelsey told reporters: "When I walked into the press conference, I had never been in a chair with a microphone in front of me with that many cameras. Something came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or what, but it struck me that I had a platform that very few people in the world have."
He expressed thanks for having the ability to go home and kiss his daughters, ages 4 and 5, who are barely younger than the youngest Newtown victims.
"Parents, teachers, rabbis, priests, coaches, everybody needs to step up," Kelsey said. "This has to be a time for change.. And I know this microphone's powerful right now, because we're playing the fourth-best team in the country."
Such a strong statement from the first-year coach of a mid-major university took some people by surprise, but longtime Elder coach Joe Schoenfeld said that type of talk is part of what makes Kelsey a respected coach and humanitarian.
"He's a servant-leader. He's not afraid to lead, but he's leading to try and help other people," Schoenfeld said. "He does a lot of nice things for people, often behind the scenes, and this time just happened to be in front of the camera."

U2 wraps 2011 tour in Pittsburgh
October 12, 2010 - Andy Gray
Live Nation announced this morning that the final date on U2's 2011 stadium tour will be at Pittsburgh's Heinz Field on July 26.
U2 had to scrap part of its 2010 tour due to a back injury suffered by lead singer Bono. In addition to playing those rescheduled dates, U2 has added a few additional shows, including the one in Pittsburgh.
The band will use the same set design it used last year. Here's how it's described in the press release: "With a cylindrical video system of interlocking LED panels, and a steel structure rising 150 feet from the floor over a massive stage with rotating bridges, the band has truly created an intimate 360º experience for concert goers. Long-time U2 Show Director Willie Williams has worked again with architect Mark Fisher (ZooTV, PopMart, Elevation and Vertigo), to create an innovative 360 design, which affords an unobstructed view for the audience.
Tickets are $250, $95, $55 and $30 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday (Oct. 18) at www.livenation.com, all Ticketmaster outlets and by calling 800-745-3000.

The book consists of a series of 13 short essays based largely on the authors' personal experiences and beliefs. The essays are easy to read. The writing is better than in the majority of medical books I have read. The most useful chapter is Dr. Pumpian-Mindlin's discussion of interviewing technique, and the most interesting, Franz Alexander's presentation of the history of psychosomatic medicine.
The main trouble with the book is that there is almost nothing new in it. It could easily have been written 15 or 20 years ago. The basic theme of the book—that psychological processes influence health and require treatment—is not new nor are any of the specific proposals to implement the thesis. Indeed, as the reviewer, I would not bear down on the lack of newness had not the word "new" appeared in the title.
This book conveys far less useful information than such recent volumes as

Kearns deserves praise for stance against Silver
In high school, we all read in "To Kill A Mockingbird" that "The one thing that does not abide by a majority rule is a person's conscience." While it is a book about prejudice and discrimination, it is also a book about courage in many forms. It is hoped by many teachers that its principles and virtues would be lived in the future by their students, and for at least one student they can be proud.
In a day and age when the duty to show political courage is more honored in the breach than the observance by so many elected officials, it is refreshing to hear that a man's word to not vote for Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was upheld, along with his loyalty to a friend. I am of course talking about Assemblyman Michael P. Kearns' courage to stand by principle, conscience and a campaign promise, rather than go along with the political leadership that has done nothing for upstate New York.

Veteran Anquan Boldin was the top target for quarterback Joe Flacco the last three seasons. But now Boldin is gone after getting dealt to San Francisco, leaving the Ravens with a big hole at wide receiver. So who's going to replace him? One option is to put tight end Dennis Pitta in the slot, using him in a role similar to what Boldin has played the last couple seasons.
Who Will Replace Anquan Boldin?

A 20-year-old student who wounded at least 14 people in a slashing spree at a college in Texas told police that he had dreamt of stabbing people to death for years.
Dylan Quick was charged with three counts of aggravated assault after yesterday's rampage, which left blood splattered around a number of buildings at the Lone Star College System's campus in Cypress.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office said in a statement that Mr Quick had been planning the attack for some time and had admitted having fantasies about killing people since he was at elementary school.

It all started out so innocently; just a boy and his mum shooting the breeze.
"Wanna hear something cool?" said he.
"Always," I responded candidly.
"Next Friday I'm going to be getting my high school schedule," he grinned.
High school schedule the phrase vibrated violently back and forth from one side of my brain to the other like the main chime on Big Ben just after the last strike at midnight.
Suddenly, I heard Perry Como's voice crooning sweetly in my mind, "Is this the little boy at play when did he grow to be so tall? Wasn't it yesterday that [they were] small?"
And as I choked on the "Sunrise, Sunset" lyrics slowly revolving around and around on the nostalgic turntable in my noggin, Kyle was fast-forwarding with an output of about a thousand thoughts per second.
"It's gonna be so cool I tested into advance math and English and history I wonder who'll be in my classes It will be awesome I hope I make swim team practices will be intense and homework will be mammoth I'm so nervous but like, in a good way Mom, are you listening to me? Mom, Mom, MOM!"
"Yes, yes, high school, some of the best times of all!" I said, trying to sound encouraging and enthusiastic and excited and all those other positive "e" words.
And, as he bebopped around on a rush of approaching maturity and beaming pride and eager anticipation, I smiled. The widest, broadest, fakest, most insincere smile in the history of smile-dom.
"Whatsa matter, Ma? You OK?" he asked.
Sure, yes, naturally, of course, super fine - why do you ask?
Just because my baby is soon going to be leaving for school before sunrise, brushing shoulders with 18-year-olds, meeting with guidance counselors to plan - yikes - college tracks and you know, talking to girls.
What happened next was inevitable.
"And just think, in about a year, I'll be studying for my driver's exam "
What? I'm sorry, what was I saying before I breathed just a little too deeply into that paper bag? Oh, ugh, driver's license speak. That was it. I went into full tailspin mode. I was careening out of control, skidding on an icy patch of panic. Funny, I never knew you could have nausea, chills, a migraine, heart palpitations and cold sweats simultaneously upon the utterance of two little words.
My oldest, dearest friend from childhood (we've literally been friends for 40-and-a-half years), Michelle, shares my despair. Currently, she is planning her son's (my godson, BTW) graduation party. In between crying spells, she keeps sending me pictures of our children as toddlers. We look at them and weep profoundly together.
Yes, Michelle and I are going down a lot faster than the Titanic these days. Our mothers' hearts all at once proud and splintering into four billion tiny pieces.
Quadruple sniff.
On almost the same dark day of Kyle's high school schedule proclamation, two of my work pals signed up their children for kindergarten. Against my better judgment, I looked at them and said simply, "Don't blink or it'll be high school."
If they had an "unfriend" button for real life, I think they'd have both deleted me right then and there.
Oh well, I guess it's really a good thing - my boy is growing up and thriving and flourishing and learning and excelling.
But, just for Mommy, couldn't he have the decency to do it over the course of about the next 20 years or so? I mean, it was just last week that I left him at preschool for the first time, after all.

Football Contest
Cougar volleyball team competes at Showcase Tourney
By Craig Moorhead
Thursday, September 27, 2012 4:54 AM
Winning is nice, but sometimes a losing effort can do more to help a team mature and grow towards their full potential. The Mabel-Canton volleyball team defeated two SEC rivals last week, and then took on some of the best the state had to offer in the Class A Showcase Tournament at Burnsville.
Mabel-Canton (W) versus Lanesboro 25-16, 25-10, 25-14
On Sept. 18, "Lanesboro was very scrappy and was playing extremely hard on defense," Cougar coach Lonnie Morken noted. "The first set (in particular) was extremely tight until the midway point... Fortunately for us, we were able to stick with it and finish off the set. Sets two and three we were able to establish a lead early on and play a variety of players, which is always nice to do."
The Cougars saw a solid performance from setter Carly McCabe, which allowed Christy Welscher, Belle Sand and Kristina Mengis to post some very efficient numbers at the net.
With 29 set assists and three kills of her own, McCabe ran an offense that totaled 43 kills on 84 attempts. Christy Welscher scored 11 kills, while Belle Sand put away 10. Lydia Geving and Kristina Mengis had 6 kills each. Welscher served 3 aces, while Geving, Danielle Paul and Christine Lee notched 2 apiece.
For the Burros, Madison Ming scored 2 kills and 1 ace serve. Regan Howerton had 2 kills as did Olivia Haug. Linnea Thiss contributed 4 set assists and 3 aces.
Mabel-Canton (W) at Hope Lutheran 25-12, 25-11, 25-13
Hitting the road two days later, M-C defeated Hope Lutheran. In the first two sets, the Cougars took control with early leads due to some sizable point runs, Morken said, adding that Lee went 22/23 serving in only two sets (including 4 aces). "We were able to stay fairly focused all night," he noted.
"It's always a treat to go to Hope Lutheran," Morken said. "We play on the Saint Mary's campus and usually get to watch a little of the SMU volleyball team's practice."
Sand led with 11 kills, followed by Welscher with 6. Lind and Mengis had 5 each. Geving had 11 points with 4 aces and 4 kills. All 15 Cougars on the roster saw at least one set of action.
Class A Showcase Tourney: Pool play
Mabel-Canton (W) vs. MACCRAY 25-18, 25-15
Mabel-Canton (W) vs. Parkers Prairie 25-10, 25-15
Mabel-Canton (L) vs. SW Christian 7-25, 23-25
Gold Quarterfinals
Mabel-Canton (W) vs. Win-E-Mac 26-24, 25-19
Gold Semifinals
Mabel-Canton (L) vs. Henning 25-21, 16-25, 13-15
Third Place Match
Mabel-Canton (L) vs. SW Christian 20-25, 23-25
Taking place on Sept. 21 and 22, "The tournament was a lot of fun for our kids to play in," Morken said. "We knew going in there would be no bad teams."
"We really wanted to finish in the top two in our Friday night pool so we would be able to advance to the gold tournament, which we did... Our match with Win-E-Mac (#7 in state Class A) is probably the best we've played all year."
Morken reported that the Cougars played well in three out of four sets in the two losses to SW Christian, the No. 5 team in class A. Henning, he said, was a surprise. The Hornets upset Nevis to win their pool. "They were a tall, veteran team that did a lot of unorthodox things to keep us off balance. We were right where we wanted to be at the end of the third set. We got a great swing on match point, but unfortunately it went wide and we lost."
The effort wasn't disappointing but the loss was, he added. By playing against the best, the Cougars are hoping to take their game to the next level.
"We really wanted to win and advance to the finals to play W-K!" Morken said. "Overall, our blocking improved a great deal, and we started playing quicker on offense and defense. We got exactly out of the tournament what we were hoping for."
The Falcons of Wabasha-Kellogg remained undefeated in the tournament, defeating Nevis, Southwest Christian and Henning in the Gold round. They are ranked No. 1 in the state in Class 1A.
Cumulative stats for the two-day event show the Cougars hitting at 27 percent efficiency, with 169 kills on 425 attempts and 56 errors. Sand led with 62 kills, followed by Geving (40), McCabe (20), Mengis (19), and Welscher (18). Geving earned 33 points (including a team-high 13 aces), while Paul had 31. Sand recorded 66 digs. Lee dug out 58, Geving 43, and McCabe 36. Welscher and Lind each had 6 ace blocks.
Up next:
The Cougars were to play at Spring Grove on Sept. 25. Two days later, they will travel to Houston. On Saturday, Sept. 29, M-C will play at the Pierz Tournament.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
EKR Therapeutics reports that it has raised $145 million. The company completed the private placement of $50 million of Series D equity and secured $95 million in senior debt.
The equity funding round was led by new investors MPM Capital and LLR Partners. Also participating were prior backers Quaker BioVentures and the Garden State Life Sciences Venture Fund as well as original institutional investors NewSpring Capital and ESP Equity Partners.
GE Healthcare Financial Services provided the senior secured credit facility. The $95 million total cash flow facility involved a $15 million revolver and $80 million Term Loan A financing.
EKR will use the debt financing to complete the $85 million purchase of PDL BioPharma's cardiovascular assets. The remaining financing will be used for working capital and to pursue additional compound acquisitions.
The transaction with PDL has already broadened EKR's portfolio. The firm gained the Cardene® franchise of antihypertensive therapy and Retavase® a drug for the management of acute myocardial infarction. Other product offerings from EKR include an injectable morphine acquired in August 2007 and an oral mucositis treatment acquired in June 2006.
"Through the application of our acquisition strategy, we have greatly enriched our product mix in the past few months and correspondingly our 2008 revenue base has been expanded by a factor of about 10," points out Howard Weisman, chairman and CEO. "Moreover, even if we exclude the potential for other product acquisitions in 2008, we foresee significant opportunities for organic growth off this larger base. To this end, we plan to build upon and leverage the strengths of our field force to drive overall sales and maximize the synergies expected for our enlarged product portfolio."

Frisco morning roundup for Aug. 13, 2013
Frisco scored big Monday with votes approving a master development agreement with companies affiliated with the Dallas Cowboys. The project would not affect city property tax rates.

As if his career isn't already hot enough, New Orleans actor Anthony Mackie ("The Hurt Locker," "Night Catches Us") finds himself front-and-center this month on the gatefold cover of Vanity Fair's 2011 "Hollywood issue."
And he's in some pretty good company, too.
"For our 17th annual Hollywood Issue cover, Vanity Fair went back to the basics -- no teenagers, no penguins, no (full-on) nudity, just the most exciting actors and actresses of the moment," Vanity Fair editors wrote in a "cover preview" at the magazine's website.
On the cover, a tuxedoed Mackie -- looking as dashing as ever -- is sandwiched between 2011 Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence ("Winter's Bone") and Olivia Wilde ("TRON: Legacy").
Rounding out the group are Jesse Eisenberg, Mila Kunis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Andrew Garfield, Rashida Jones, Garrett Hedlund and Noomi Rapace -- as well cover stars Anne Hathaway, James Franco, Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal.
The cover was shot over the course of two days in New York City, and as their still photographers snapped away, Vanity Fair also caught it all on video. Check it out in the video embedded below.
The Vanity Fair "Hollywood issue" -- its March issue -- is on newsstands now.

We are pleased to announce that the 2nd International Balkan Conference (IBAC) organized by Istanbul University collaboration of University of Tirana and Epoka University, will be held in October 11-14 2012, in Tirana, Albania. The conference's goals are to gather the scholars who study various aspects of Balkans, broaden cooperation and interaction among them, and establish a room to discuss the region from different perspectives.

Prof.Dr. Ahmet Yeţil (Program Chair)
IBAC 2012, Organizing Committee
Istanbul University
Theme of the Conference
The theme of the first Conference which was held last year in Macedonia was "co-existence of cultures in Balkans", focusing on the joint history and culture of Balkan people, and aiming at creating awareness for strong historical background. This year, it is aimed to broaden the angle to encompass a larger and deeper outlook at the region. The Balkans seems to be a region at a crossroads with chances and risks it has been facing during the last 20 years. One of the ways to imagine and construct the future of the region could be evaluating the experiences of the past and reading the present. Therefore, a chronological and interdisciplinary approach from history to politics, foreign policy, literature, art etc, is preferred, as it is seen on the list of areas of the conference.
Following are among areas of the conference:
History of the Balkans:
- Pre-Islamic Period
- Ottoman Period
- Nation Building Period
Geography of the Balkans:
- Physical Geography
- Human and Economic Geography
- Mining and Energy
Politics in a Comparative Perspective:
- Process of Democratization
- Ethnicity and Diversity
- Nationalism
- Migration
- Gender Issues and Politics
- Globalization and Politics
- Development of Civil Society
- Mass-Media
International Relations:
- The Balkans in the World Order
- Balkan Countries in the Process of EU Enlargement
- Regional Cooperation
- Conflict Resolution and Peace-Building
- Balkans and Euro-Atlantic Cooperation
- Security and Defense Systems
- US and the Balkans
Public Administration:
- Central and Local Governments
- Public Services
- Public Finance
Economic Development and Economic Policies:
- Integration of the Balkans to the Global Economic System
- Economic Development in the Balkans
- Economic Policies in Balkan Countries in a Comparative Perspective
- New Developments and Perspectives in Energy Policies
- International Investments in the Balkans
- Money and Banking
- Agriculture and Forestry
- Transportation and Communication

Judicial and Legal Politics:
- Comparative Judicial Systems in the Balkans
- Comparative Legal Systems in the Balkans
Health Policy:
- Health Policies in the Balkan Countries
- Health Services in the Balkan Countries
Art and Literature:

- Balkan Music
- Architectural Structures
- Diversity and Co-existence of Different Cultures
Deadline of abstracts submission: May 30, 2012
Abstracts and papers should be sent via IBAC Web Site: http://ibacconference.com/

A fundraising drive to get new wheels for an independent-minded Tweedmouth woman with mobility issues is gathering apace.
Around £3,000 is needed to kit out 28-year-old Gemma Law, who suffers from cerebral palsey, with a motorised scooter to replace her limiting wheelchair.
"An electric scooter would make a massive difference to my life," Gemma said. "When I've wanted to go to town my mum has pushed me in the wheel chair, but she's got MD now and can't do it anymore, and my dad's getting older.
"An electric scooter would mean I could do things on my own."
Keen to help Gemma gain her independence, family friend and Brown Bear landlady Susan Wakenshaw launched the fundraising bid to buy Gemma's new wheels.
"It was Susan's idea to start fundraising for it," Gemma explained. "We started talking about it last year but didn't really do anything about it, then about a month ago she said 'right, we're going to go for it'."
"Sometimes the only way you can get things is to go out and make it happen," Susan said. "I just wanted to help out, and give Gemma a bit more independence.
"We've been fundraising for about a month now and we're getting there. We got off to a fantastic start because someone donated £1000 anonymously, which was brilliant.
"Everybody in Berwick has been amazing with raffle prizes and things too, they've been tremendous. I think it's because Gemma does a lot in the town, everyone knows her and she supports a lot of the things that go on, which I think is why people want to support her."
There will be a quiz night and a karaoke competition at The Brown Bear next week in aid of the fund, and Gemma and her family are also doing their bit.
"I thought I would help the cause so I am doing a sponsored swim of the distance from my house in Tweedmouth to the Brown Bear," Gemma said.
The distance, 1.1 miles, equates to 71 lengths of the local pool. "I've been twice and have done 46 lengths already, so I've got just 24 to go, and my brother and his friend, who both work at Jus Rol, are going to die their hair, either bright green or bright pink.
"They're waiting until after the bank holiday though because my brother's got a Christening to go to and didn't think he'd fit in very well with luminous hair!"

Wooler's newest parish councillor was decided in last Thursday's by-election.
Michael Aitchison, the Conservative candidate, defeated Labour's Joyce Guthrie by around two votes to one.
The turnout was just under 35 per cent.
In his pre-election material, Mr Aitchison campaigned on three central issues - ensuring the protection of subsidised bus services, encouraging the development of affordable homes to rent in areas of the town where people want to live and improving road and pavement maintenance.
He also highlighted the need for more facilities for younger people in the village as well as for the former Ferguson's Yard to be redeveloped.
Mr Aitchison's election to the council takes its membership back up to the full complement of 10 councillors.

I fin it funny how their review states how the angry birds game is not even nearly worth it for the price, which goes against what they are trying to get at on the coupon for it lol! I would buy it for no more than $10. They should have just made it an arcade game :P
I'm not gonna try and justify the $40 price tag, but it is nice being able to enjoy the games as a family on the big screen. We have enjoyed the purchase at $40 but I am a CAG so I will be adjusting the price when I get the coupon.

Tips:The metal tube in the center of this Clearomizer leads from the mouthpiece to the battery end. Avoid getting liquid in this tube when filling the Clearomizer. When unfastening the base (atomizer head) to refill the Clearomizer, the seals are temporarily broken and liquid will leak from the mouthpiece or escape into the center tube. Always wrap a cloth or piece of tissue around the mouthpiece when unfastening the base of the Clearomizer.Gurgling noise or leaks: This is a sign that liquid has found its way into the metal tube in the center of the Clearomizer (and usually occurs after a refill). Ridding the center tube of liquid will resolve the issue. To do so without emptying the tank, remove the Clearomizer from the battery, wrap a cloth or tissue around the battery end of the Clearomizer and blow through the mouthpiece. The atomizer head of the Protank can unfasten when unscrewing the tube or base. Always secure the atomizer head before reinstalling the base of the Protank.It is normal to find a small amount of liquid in the battery contact area when removing the Clearomizer or any atomizer. We recommend cleaning the battery before charging it.
When possible, keep the tank full and never below 1/3 full of eLiquid ("topped off"). This helps maintain the "vacuum" in the tank and prevent leaks.When the atomizer head wears down, it may begin to leak. Replace the atomizer head with a new one if available.
FOR BEST RESULTS: * Do not use with liquids that have a high VG ratio as this will result in poor wicking and ultimately will damage the coils. - **Also remember that this being a dual coil unit may require a higher voltage output from your device to get the same performance level that you may have received from your Protank 1/2. This device has a max voltage input of 6V. ***Users with input devices of 3.7v and below would be better suited with the Kanger Protank 2 (single coil) setup.

Overall, I was very satisfied with Edgar Snyder & Associates because everything worked out so well. For me, it was a complete overall satisfaction. I was surprised and happy with my settlement amount. It was more than I expected. Injured construction worker
Greene County, PA
If you were injured on the job, you may have heard of something called a "Lump Sum Settlement" – also known as a "Compromise and Release."
Note: Please know that when you sign to accept a lump sum settlement, this is a one-time payment. If you accept a lump sum, you can't go back for more money. Your employer's insurance company doesn't owe you another cent. What's more, the insurance company will almost always offer much less than you deserve.
That's why it's important to consult with an attorney before you agree to a lump sum settlement. Our legal consultations are free and there's no obligation to use our services. Call us at 1-866-943-3427 or fill out a simple online legal consultation.
If the company doctor releases you to return to work, but your personal doctor disagrees, you can refuse to go back to work.
If you do not return to work, your employer will probably file a "Petition to Terminate, Modify, or Suspend Benefits." In this case, under workers' compensation laws in Pennsylvania, you will continue to receive your workers' compensation payments until a hearing is scheduled for a judge to review your case.
If you get one of these letters, and don't already have a lawyer, you should get help from one of our experienced workers' compensation attorneys.
Under Pennsylvania worker's compensation, if you have been off work for more than 4 months due to a work-related injury – and you're currently receiving workers' compensation – you may be able to settle with the insurance company for a lump sum.
A lump sum settlement is a one-time payment that can replace your weekly workers' compensation checks, your medical bills, or both. You can accept a lump sum settlement for both your lost wages and medical expenses. However, a lump sum settlement amount cannot be more than your weekly workers' compensation benefits mutiplied by 500 weeks.
Accepting a lump sum settlement for your medical expenses can be tricky. If you accept a lump sum payment for your future medical care, you will not receive any more money for your medical treatment after these funds are spent.
Remember: If you agree to a lump sum settlement, you won't receive another penny from Pennsylvania workers' compensation. Before agreeing to a lump sum settlement, it's important to make sure that the offer is fair and that it's a good idea for you. You should hire an experienced attorney to help negotiate with the insurance company, because the insurance company will nearly always offer much less than you should receive.
You may want to settle for a lump sum of money if:
If you're thinking about a lump sum settlement, you should take a good look at your medical costs and what they may be in the future.
Be sure to think about these questions, and consult an attorney to see if a lump sum settlement is in your best interest. An experienced attorney can best calculate possible medical expenses you may encounter down the road.

A Lincolnville man accused of shooting into a Ladson Road nightclub remains in jail after a Wednesday bond hearing.
Magistrate Judge Linda Lombard set bail for Keith Alextruss Williams, 22, of East Railroad Avenue at $550,000.
Williams said little during the hearing conducted by video at the Cannon Detention Center. When asked if he has a job or goes to school, he said he does side work like lawn work and stuff like that.
Williams was arrested Tuesday at his house and charged with attempted murder, possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime and an outstanding magistrates bench warrant for driving without a license, according to Charleston County sheriffs Maj. Jim Brady.
Williams is one of several men accused of shooting into The Game Room nightclub at 3792 Ladson Road shortly after 3 a.m. Dec. 20.
An affidavit revealed Williams fired about 14 times and was identified as opening the front door to the establishment and firing wildly into the crowd of patrons, the document stated.
Gerren Nelson, 24, of West Carolina Street, Lincolnville, was wounded by gunfire and several others said they were assaulted. Police still are looking for two other men who fired shots, including the man believed to have shot Nelson, Brady said.
A surveillance video shows Williams with a gun standing in the doorway firing inside. Anybody with information is asked to call the Sheriffs Office at 202-1700 or leave an anonymous tip at Crime Stoppers at 554-1111.

Congratulations on getting to the half way mark! You're doing awesomely well
Week 11 Report.
Over the half way mark
I am stunned at how the weight keeps just falling off with no real effort on my part - I've really got into the routine now and my DH is loving the meals so he's happy. To make it easy I've got a 2 week rotation of evening meals which are tasty and easy to cook.
Week 1
Wed - Boiled Ham with Roast Veg
Thurs - Meatloaf with Broccoli and Cauliflower
Fri - Chicken and Mushroom Green Thai Curry with Cauliflower Rice
Sat - Liver Kidney and Bacon with Roast Veg
Sun - Roast Pork Shoulder with Broccoli and Cauliflower
Mon - Tomato and Mince Casserole
Tues - Tomato and Mince Casserole
…................................................. ............................
Week 2
Wed - Roast Beef with Roast Veg
Thurs - Roast Lamb with Broccoli and Cauliflower
Fri - Chicken and Mushroom Korma with Cauliflower Rice
Sat - Sausage and Onions with Roast Veg
Sun - Roast Pork Shoulder with Broccoli and Cauliflower
Mon - Chicken and Tomato Casserole
Tues - Chicken and Tomato Casserole
Added to that I roast a couple of chickens and leave them in the fridge so I can just have cold leftovers or eggs, tinned salmon or corned beef whenever I'm hungry throughout the day. I also have strawberries and frozen berries whenever I fancy anything sweet and tomatoes and salad veg if I fancy them.
Exercise wise I walk the dogs for 30 mins in the morning and swim for 30 mins in the evening but I haven't done any of the other exercise yet - and after reading Marks blog about extra muscle not burning loads of fat I'm probably not going to start doing much weights or sprints wise until I'm at my goal weight or I hit a plateau.
Anyone thinking of giving this a go please try it - if it can work for me (a woman who's had weight issues from childhood and who had a total hysterectomy last year due to illness) it can work for anyone.
Till next week ....

Very short as this entry is very late - despite fish and chips, an English Breakfast with a Latte and a tub of Rachaels Greek Coconut yoghurt which is my new treat I still managed to lose 2lb this week. I'm sticking to walking the dogs and swimming every day so this week has gone great diet and exercise wise.
Unfortunately Week 13 has completely gone to the dogs - but more about that on Wednesday

Congrats on all the weight loss! And especially when it's coming off without feeling like it's too much of an effort.
Looking at your evening meal rotation...are you an IFer?
I'm retraining and strengthening my taste buds, one primal meal at a time.
Nope I'm not a fan of deliberately IFing - at least not while I've still got quite a lot of weight to lose (that may change when I get to within 5lb of goal but I doubt it)
I'm up at 6am every day and generally have "breakfast" about 10 am when I get to work but I will snack on something out of fridge before that (generally hard boiled eggs or berries) if I'm peckish. I then eat again about 2ish and again snack about 5ish on berries before swimming at 5.30ish.
I eat around 6.30pm and don't generally have anything after about 7.30pm but all times are ish as I don't schedule as such - I just eat when I'm hungry.
The first couple of weeks I ate more - and was eating protein and veg most of the day - but at that stage I was more worried about keeping eating the right things than losing the weight as I wanted to get past the sugar cravings as my number one priority. As it turned out I still lost weight but I'd forget about IFing as it will just make you hungry and want to eat non primal stuff - just concentrate on eating the right stuff for a couple of weeks - then tweak to lose weight when your body is over the carb shock.I roast a couple of chickens and leave them in the fridge so I can just have cold leftovers or eggs, tinned salmon or corned beef whenever I'm hungry throughout the day. I also have strawberries and frozen berries whenever I fancy anything sweet and tomatoes and salad veg if I fancy them.
Right stuff for weight loss - unprocessed meat, fish, eggs, low starch vegetables and berries.
Wrong stuff for weight loss - processed foods, refined sugar, grains, legumes, nuts, high starch/carb veg and fruit, and cheese,
Limited stuff for weight loss - dairy (I'd avoid for first few weeks to break the habit then have a treat occasionally)
Odd advice that people on forums give that I personally don't think is the best idea at the start (but may work later or if you have really tried everything else for a few weeks) -
IFing - covered that above but it's designed for when you are within sight of target as a tweak not as an initial strategy.
Consuming lots of fat for the sake of it - personally I get enough fat from the non visable versions ie shoulder of pork, salmon etc so I'd advise not to avoid it, but having a fry up every morning or drinking tablespoons of the stuff just seems excessive to me, even though as you can see from my journal we are very partial to a full English breakfast at least once a week.
Strange eating times, patterns or stress over weighing everything or macros - this WOE is supposed to be easy and fun - having to weigh everything goes directly against this idea for me so I think its better to keep a journal with what types of foods you're eating then tweak after the first 2 weeks when you see the results.
Hope this helps

Week 13
Wow its amazing how fast the time has gone and its crazy the huge improvements I've made in my life over the last 13 weeks
I started this on the 1st June 2011 as things had got so bad that I had reached rock bottom health and depression wise and I'd finally decided that I had to get a grip and get started living the life I wanted rather than settling for making no effort and feeling sorry for myself. Ironically a mmo finally gave me the push when I found that my so called escape from reality was now causing me stress and tears.
I've gone from someone that was so far in a rut that I was literally eating chocolate uncontrollably to the tune of 6 - 15 bars a day. I could not do two laps of the dog walking circuit I do without feeling like I needed a lie down. The house was a mess as more than 10 minutes of housework at a time either started up my acid reflux to epic proportions and/or caused my back to start twinging which would last for the rest of the day.
Mood wise I had no energy or enthusiasm for anything and my mood swings were getting out of hand with me frequently bursting into tears over small trivial things. Acid reflux and sciatica was keeping me awake at night and an mmo had become my reason for getting out of bed in the morning which is obviously not the way ahead as I'm self employed and my income reflects my efforts.
So I arranged to take a few days off and put myself first - my husband bless him who was worried about me agreed to give the diet a go as well and in those few days I started eating primally, started exercising and started getting the house decluttered. I also started deciding what I actually wanted in life and making steps to achieve it.
Fast forward 13 weeks - I'm 36lb lighter and am back weight wise to where I'm comfortable rather than refusing to go out as I felt so bad about being bigger and had nothing to wear. I do 20 laps of the dog walking circuit every morning without actually noticing as I'm concentrating on my audio tapes and the dogs (this is on my land so its safe to tune out). I feel strong and in control of my destiny and have concrete plans on how to achieve it. The house is actually tidy again all the time now so we can invite people over and be sociable again (when it was a mess I refused to allow anyone in the house to actually see it that way). We have also finally made the decision to let go of the past and move forward - which has meant that we've sold a property that had a lot of negative emotions tied to it - yes we let it go cheap but it means we can be debt free and just look forward now.
In many ways this is thanks to going Primal, as success with this has given me the confidence in myself to start sorting the other areas of my life that needed attention.
In the next 13 weeks I want to lose at least another 14lb preferably more but I must admit is has been harder this last couple of weeks - I love the primal diet and will happily continue with that for life but the cheats have been increasing - the funny thing is that I haven't found anything apart from fish and chips cheat wise that's totally nonprimal that I have actually enjoyed. The Turkish Delights, Daim Bars, Frys Bars, Starbars, Cadburys Chocolate bars, Pizza, Biscuit Deserts, Chocolate Fudge Cake, Cheesecake, Ben and Jerrys, Chinese Takeaways, Eccles cakes, Vienese Whirls all of which I used to love and that I've managed to eat (mostly over the last 2 weeks) have left me feeling lousy or sick so I'm in no rush to repeat.
Cafe Lattes, English Breakfast with no Toast or Beans and Greek Coconut Yoghurt ie my favorite diet cheats are all semi-primal. I did try eating the 85% chocolate again as I would have added it to the list but unfortunately it definitely doesn't like me as it brought the acid straight back.
It does seem strange though how your own perceptions and other peoples can make a big difference to your dieting efforts - I think most of my problems in the last 10 days have stemmed from the fact that I'm now back to "comfortabe" for me. I'm still 29lb above where I want to be and my ideal is not a strict target as I'm aiming for under 10st weight wise so I'm certainly not twig like at 169lb on a 5'6" medium frame - . Despite this in the last 24 hours 2 friends have commented separately that I shouldn't lose any more weight, and how I'm where I should be now without any prompting or encouragement from me. I think part of it is that last time I lost a lot of weight and weighed below this it was because I had cancer and everyone associates me being thin with being ill but I am going to keep going as I really want to treat myself to my new wardrobe of of clothes in the January sales once I reach my target weight.
Weight loss for the week: 1lb which is incredible considering the junk I've eaten
Aim to be back to losing 2lb for next week
Till next week ....

Week 14
Late post as I went completely off the wagon this week as we decided to have a junk week and eat as many takeaways and as much junk as we fancied. No real excuse even though it was crazy here as we could have kept primal through it, but I think I needed the break to just reaffirm why I'm actually doing this.
Anyway I put on 2lb this week but I think it was water weight as I'm already back to where I was at the week 13 weigh in.
The interesting think is that I'm really pleased to be back to Primal even though I did get the mini carb flu with headache for the first 2 days, our entire get up and go seemed to disappear when we went back to eating junk and a lot of our old bad habits started to creep back in. Both of us started to suffer from really bad acid as well, which has gone again now we are back to eating Primally. Also the hunger came back and I seemed to be consistently feeding my face to a ridiculous degree which had nothing to do with how full my stomach was as I'd feel bloated but still want to keep eating. This constant need to eat was my main motivation for going Primal as its just weird to know your eating is that out of control that you will eat a large evening meal and still have half a dozen chocolate bars immediately after and still feel like you need to eat something.
Anyway till next week.

TV Ratings: 'Undercover Boss' drives CBS on Friday as 'Happy Endings' drops ABC
'Shark Tank' is Friday's top show with young viewers
Fast National ratings for Friday, April 26, 2013.
While "Shark Tank" was Friday's top show among young viewers, "Undercover Boss" and "Blue Bloods" both took their hours and helped CBS win the night in the key demo and dominate overall.
After last week's preemption-filled Friday, many shows came back weak, including "Grimm," "Touch," "Happy Endings" and "Nikita," which was one of the few shows to aired as planned amidst the Boston coverage on the 19th.
While fans probably shouldn't invest too heavily, CBS' "Vegas" was one of the few shows with episode-to-episode growth, thanks at least in part to a bump for "Undercover Boss."
For the night, CBS averaged a 1.3 rating among adults 18-49, edging out the 1.2 rating for ABC in the key demographic. NBC averaged a 1.0 key demo rating, beating FOX's 0.8 rating and the 0.3 rating for The CW.
Overall, CBS averaged an estimated 8.82 million viewers and a 5.7 rating/10 share for Friday night, routing the 4.32 million viewers and 2.9/5 for ABC. NBC was third with 3.86 million and a 2.5/4, ahead of FOX's 1.7/3 and 2.635 million viewers. The CW averaged a 0.6/1 and 986,000 viewers on Friday.
8 p.m. - "Undercover Boss" rose to 8.74 million viewers and a 1.6 rating among adults 18-49 to win the 8 p.m. hour for CBS. A new "Kitchen Nightmares" finished a distant second with 2.96 million viewers and a 1.0 key demo rating, just in front of the 2.92 million viewers and 0.7 key demo rating for NBC's "Fashion Star." Blame non-responsive DVRs or whatever you want, but "Happy Endings" averaged a dismal 2.01 million viewers and a 0.6 key demo rating across two episodes. On The CW, "Nikita" did 1.18 million viewers and a 0.3 key demo rating.
9 p.m. - "Vegas" won the 9 p.m. hour overall for CBS with 7.36 million viewers and finished third with a 1.0 rating among adults 18-49. "Shark Tank" was a strong second with 6.4 million viewers and won the hour with a 1.9 key demo rating. NBC's "Grimm" was third with 4.86 million viewers and second with a 1.3 key demo rating. FOX's "Touch" averaged 2.315 million viewers and a 0.6 key demo rating. The CW's repeat averaged 796,000 viewers and a 0.3 key demo rating.
10 p.m. - "Blue Bloods" completed CBS' overall sweep with 10.36 million viewers and won the 10 p.m. hour with a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49. ABC's "20/20" was second with 4.56 million viewers and a 1.2 key demo rating, beating the 3.82 million viewers and 0.9 key demo rating for NBC's "Rock Center."
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.
