Pacific Wings to stop flying in state
HONOLULU - Pacific Wings, an airline serving five Hawaii destinations with a Cessna 208, is ceasing operations.
Hawaii News Now reported Monday that Pacific Wings will be shutting down its Hawaii operation in mid-June.
Pacific Wings has been in operation since the 1970s and serves mainly smaller markets like Molokai, Kalaupapa, Lanai, Hana and Waimea-Kamuela.
Medicaid Quest sign-up postponed
HONOLULU - Hawaii is postponing open enrollment for roughly 250,000 members of the state's Medicaid health insurance program, Quest, amid a contract dispute between a health center and the Hawaii Medical Service Association.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Monday that Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center is disputing a new payment contract for giving services to about 7,500 Quest members who have insurance from the Hawaii Medical Service Association.
Human Services spokeswoman Kayla Rosenfeld said the open enrollment period has been changed to June 17-28.

For a temporary decoration on the face of a sixth-round, second-year offensive lineman, Jason Kelce's Beard is doing well for itself. Not as well as Kelce, who started every game as a rookie and advanced to rank among the elite centers in the NFL, but better than, say, Michael Vick's goatee or Chase Utley's soul patch.
For instance, Jason Kelce's Beard — grown from a tight GQ scruff to a fluffy, brownish-red biker/Santa flourish over the past year — has more than 1,000 Twitter followers (@JkelceBeard). While that is 12,500 fewer than Kelce, even Kelce acknowledged that the Beard might be a wittier tweeter.

Ardmore businessman and conservative activist Bob Guzzardi, a self-described "nuisance" to the Republican Party, can challenge Gov. Corbett in next month's primary election, a judge ruled Tuesday.
After Guzzardi gathered more than 3,000 signatures to get on the ballot, members of the state Republican Party took him to court, arguing that some signatures were invalid, that he misstated his occupation, and that he did not file a statement of financial information on time.
Commonwealth Court Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt found there was not enough evidence to knock Guzzardi off the May 20 ballot.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Pittsburgh Penguins traded forward James Neal to the Nashville Predators in exchange for forwards Patric Hornqvist and Nick Spaling.
Both teams announced the trade Friday night before the NHL draft. The Penguins had the 22nd pick in the draft where they took Kasperi Kapanen, a 6-foot-1, 181-pound forward who played for Kalpa in the Finish Elite League.
The addition of Neal signals the Predators' emphasis on boosting their offense under new coach Peter Laviolette as they attempt to return to the playoffs after a two-year absence. The Predators have had a reputation as a defense-oriented team for virtually the franchise's entire history.
The 26-year-old Neal had 27 goals and 34 assists in 59 games for the Penguins this season, which marked the sixth straight year he scored at least 20 goals.
Neal scored 40 goals in 2011-12 and had 21 goals in only 40 games during the 2012-13 season. He has 161 career goals and 154 assists in 413 career regular-season games, and has been a force on power plays.
Neal had been with the Penguins since 2010 after beginning his career with the Dallas Stars.
Hornqvist, 27, had 22 goals and 31 assists in 76 games this season, which marked the fourth time in his career he reached the 20-goal mark. He has 106 goals and 110 assists in 363 career regular-season games, all with Nashville.
Spaling, 25, had 13 goals and 19 assists in 71 games for Nashville this past season.

Five Relievers to Ignore
First off, while fans often want a big splash at the deadline, the Tigers don't appear primed to make one, especially now that Joaquin Benoit has tightly grabbed onto the closer's job. With that plus high trade demands, here are five names you likely don't need to pay much attention to:
RHP Tim Lincecum
A couple of weeks ago, discussion picked up out of nowhere that teams were looking at Lincecum as a possible bullpen solution, while he continued to struggle in the Giants rotation. It's an interesting concept, with the only challenge being that the Giants aren't clearly selling, despite being in last place in the NL West. In addition, if they were, they'd still be looking for a return package closer to what a frontline starter would fetch, and not the package you'd expect for a late inning reliever.
RHP Joe Nathan (Rangers)
Word is just leaking out of Texas that the Rangers would consider moving Nathan, one of the top closers in the game, for the right package. Only problem is, the Rangers would only be pulling the trigger on a deal to boost their offense. Any move to bolster the bullpen for the Tigers won't come at the expense of the everyday lineup, and a player like Matt Tuiasosopo isn't nearly enough to make a deal.
RHP Jonathon Papelbon (Phillies)
Papelbon has been on the market for weeks now, but the Phillies have a high asking price for him, as the assumed top closer option on the market. In addition, Papelbon is still owed more than $30 million over the next 2.5 seasons, with a vesting option for 2016. If the Tigers were desperate for a closer, they may have made a run at Papelbon, but it's safe to say with Benoit settled, they'll be looking elsewhere.
RHP Bobby Parnell (Mets)
Sometimes a player appear to be a perfect fit, and it would seem that the Mets and Tigers would have had a perfect opportunity to consummate a deal for Parnell – at 28, he's just approaching his prime, but is still two years away from free agency, while the Mets are likely still a couple of years away from contending. Only problem is, the Mets don't have any interest in moving Parnell.
LHP Glen Perkins (Twins)
Like Parnell, Perkins would be the ideal fit of a strong closer entering his best years, and while a common refrain would be that the Twins and Tigers wouldn't do an intra-division deal, the teams were able to agree on a package for Delmon Young two years ago, and a decade ago, the Tigers shipped closer Todd Jones to the Twins for their playoff push. But, also like Parnell, Perkins isn't being made available at the deadline, and it's unlikely the Tigers will reach a level of desperation that would force them to make an offer the Twins couldn't refuse.
Five Relievers to Watch
With those names out of the way, the Tigers are still in need of bullpen help, and while the pickings are somewhat slim, there are names floating out there, and the current going rate based on what Matt Thornton and Francisco Rodriguez went for, appears that the right setup man could be had for a reasonable offer. So here are five guys the Tigers will have their eye on over as a potential solution to their bullpen depth woes:
1. RHP Luke Gregerson (Padres)
The San Diego setup man has supposedly been in the Tigers' sights before, when he was rumored to be a part of an off-season deal in exchange for Rick Porcello. Gregorson has been very good again this year, with an ERA under three and a K:BB ratio over four. Affordable ($3.2 million salary for 2013), in his prime (age 29), and not a free agent until after 2014, Gregorson would be the perfect fit for the Tigers need of a setup man.
2. RHP Steve Cishek (Marlins)
Like Parnell and Perkins, the Marlins claim that Cishek isn't on the market, but unlike those two, there's little reason to believe that's actually the case as the Marlins are more likely bluffing in hopes of driving up the asking price. Cishek has been a very good closer for the Marlins, and could be a very good setup man for a number of teams that are looking for relief help. Like other candidates, he has good numbers (sub-three ERA, high strikeouts, low walks). He's also arbitration eligible after this year, meaning the Marlins would have to pay up for the 27-year old. Given that the two teams have made deals in the past, this will again be a guy to watch.
3. RHP Jesse Crain (White Sox)
Currently he's on the disabled list, and after suffering a slight setback, doesn't appear that he'll be ready to come off before Wednesday's deadline, meaning either a team would have to trade for him sight unseen (highly unlikely), or wait for him to hit the waiver wire in August. Should that materialize, he's a natural fit for the Tigers – he's been an outstanding middle reliever, could fill a similar role for the club, and would likely come cheaper as he's a free agent at the end of the year.
4. RHP Jose Veras (Astros)
The Astros closer has been very good this season, and at age 32, doesn't figure to be a part of Houston's long-term plan as they rebuild. He's striking out more than a batter per inning, has a sub-3 ERA, and has experience both closing and working as a setup man. The organization is split on him however, and the fact that no team has been willing to hang onto him for more than a year since the Yankees traded him in 2009 serves as a red flag. But, the Astros should move him, and he could be had for the right price.
5. LHP Oliver Perez (Mariners)
There's been little discussion of Perez so far on the trade market, but his 12+ K/9 rate means he has to be under consideration, given the Mariners aren't going anywhere this season, even if their recent winning streak has caused them to pause on dealing. His wildness remains a concern as he's still walking four batters per nine innings, but the fastball/slider combo could make him an ideal complement in the back end of the bullpen with Smyly's four-pitch repertoire and Bruce Rondon's 100+ MPH fastball.
Five Prospects That Could Be Dealt
The challenge remains in Detroit, what would the Tigers be willing to part with? They have consistently rebuked attempts to pry either Nick Castellanos or Avisail Garcia away, and the flame-throwing Rondon won't go anywhere unless it's in exchange for a long-term solution at closer.
The Tigers though are short on mid-level prospects, making any potential trade a tough equation – would the Tigers be willing to trade from a position of strength and overpay by giving up a talented young outfielder like Steven Moya or Danry Vasquez? They certainly don't want to, but might not have another choice.
If a deal goes down, here are the names most likely to be on the move:
OF Steven Moya
Certain organizations love Moya's power potential (much like the Tigers), and while he's raw and still years away from contributing at the big league level, he has the sort of upside that would entice a team to make him the centerpiece of a deal for a reliever.
A year ago, the Tigers were willing to part with Rob Brantly because they had McCann coming up behind him, and with Alex Avila's continued struggles this season, it's hard to envision the Tigers wanting to move someone like McCann. But, he's a close-to-big-league-ready position player at a premium position, and his name isn't Nick or Avisail, and quite simply, you can't make every prospect untouchable.
RHP Drew VerHagen
VerHagen has made quick work of the minors since being drafted last summer, and is the sort of lower-ceiling, high-floor player that might motivate a team to make a deal, as VerHagen could be ready to compete for a job in the big leagues in 2014, similar to another guy named Drew that was an experienced college pitcher and did well in his first full season. Someone like the Marlins or Astros in particular would seemingly be a good fit.
LHP Casey Crosby If a smaller deal comes to fruition, it's a good bet that Crosby will be involved in it. A power left-hander, Crosby still hasn't quite been able to master his mechanics and delivery, which has bred inconsistency in his performance. Nonetheless, he's still only 24-years old and a left-hander that can hit the upper 90's.
Again an option for a smaller deal, Collins will be squeezed sooner or later, as he's sandwiched between guys like Moya and Vasquez below him, and Garcia and Castellanos above him on the organizational ladder. The left-handed hitting outfielder has pop in his bat and patience at the plate, an appealing combination especially for teams that believe he'll be able to adjust to advanced pitching to put up a respectable batting average.
What It All Means
The market is quite light right now, with multiple pitchers that the Tigers would love to make a run at being made unavailable, at least for the moment. To top it off, the Tigers have no interest in parting with Castellanos or Garcia (their two best trade chips), but are light on alternatives needed to fetch a top-line setup man.
It all comes together to most likely mean the Tigers won't be making a blockbuster deal, but are still likely to swing a trade for a solid middle reliever that can give the team another reliable arm, and won't break the bank on the farm. And knowing Dombrowski, there always remains the outside chance of a blockbuster deal outside of the relief market, that would fetch a premium player and a reliever would just end up a part of that package.

Album Review
Van Morrison
probably chose to give a pair of skiffle concerts in November, 1998 not because he was nostalgic, but because he has genuine love for this music. At least, that's the impression
The Skiffle Sessions
gives. It's a cheerfully old-fashioned yet curiously fresh album. By skipping "Rock Island Line," the style's best-known tune, and emphasizing the music's foundation in American folk, blues, and jazz, they wind up revitalizing skiffle while paying homage to it. Yes, this may be corny at times, yet it's a clever, diverse record. They delve into blues, letting Barber have a Dixieland trombone solo on "Frankie and Johnny," invite
Dr. John
to play some New Orleans on "Goin' Home" and "Good Morning Blues," haul out
Jimmie Rodgers
' "Muleskinner Blues" and
's "Goodnight Irene," paying tribute to both country and folk. Only "Don't You Rock Me Daddio" fits the clichés of skiffle, and here it's only one side of a rich, generous collection of roots music. Some might say that this multifaceted approach to skiffle is revisionism, but it isn't; skiffle itself was a hybrid, drawing from all sorts of American roots music but given an endearing twist by idealist British musicians, who loved the American myth as much as the music.
The Skiffle Sessions
captures this love of myth and music, while being a hell of a good listen.
's career has been idiosyncratic and unpredictable, but nothing has been quite as surprising as this. Really, there's no reason why a skiffle album released in 2000 should be as irresistible as this, but
, Donegan, and Barber bring such heart and love to this music that it's hard not to be charmed.

Cuba Plans $100 Million Fund to Aid Worker-Run Businesses
Cuba's communist government will set aside $100 million to help establish private cooperatives as President Raul Castro takes further steps to boost economic growth on the island.
Cooperatives with as many as five employees will be allowed to manage their own operations by the end of the year, a policy meant to loosen restrictions on basic services and increase productivity, Castro told the National Assembly yesterday. Agricultural cooperatives account for about half the 200 businesses selected, Marino Murillo, deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers, said.
"We selected a group of business organizations to run an experiment with sufficient autonomy and power," Castro, 81, said, according to a transcript of the speech posted on the government website Cuba Debate. "This experience will lift the brake that exists on the development of productive forces."
Since his 85-year-old brother Fidel started handing over power in 2006, Raul Castro has initiated measures to open the Caribbean island's economy, including loosening of property laws and controls prohibiting private enterprise such as taxi and mobile phone companies.
More than 390,000 Cubans were self-employed at the end of June, up from almost 233,000 in 2010, when the government vowed to "redesign" the country's economy and cut 500,000 state workers. Transportation and food services are the largest source of private employment, Murillo told lawmakers.
Abandoned Exploration
The latest moves may help soften the blow from Repsol SA's decision earlier this year to abandon oil exploration off the island's northern coast after a test well came up dry. Falling prices for nickel, Cuba's biggest export, have also undermined growth.
Not all of Castro's measures have aided entrepreneurs. Earlier this month, the government announced they would impose new taxes on imported goods in September, adding to the costs for businesses that rely on materials from abroad.
Cuba's economy expanded 2.1 percent in the first half of the year, up from 1.9 percent in the same period of 2011, Castro said yesterday.

Southeast Campus is closed immediately for the remainder of the day. Police will remain on site to ensure safe and orderly flow of traffic.
— Tarrant Co. College (@TCCollege) April 16, 2013
At approximately 10:15 a.m. this morning a resident (witness) that lives in the area of the 6000 block of Waterford, saw a subject getting out of a vehicle near one of his neighbor's home. The unidentified subject then walked towards the residence, through a back gate. The witness immediately called 911.
We responded within a couple minutes and set up a perimeter around the house in an attempt to locate the subject seen walking into the back yard.
After checking the exterior and interior of the house, we confirmed that a burglary did happen. The home owner was contacted and did an inventory of his property. He discovered that one of the items missing (stolen) was a small caliber type handgun.
NOTE: Being that the burglary was in the same general area as the Tarrant County Community College, the above information was relayed to them. It is our understanding the college made the decision to put the campus in "lock down."
During our investigation we were able to locate the -- now unoccupied -- vehicle that the subject was seen getting out of. It has since been towed (collected as evidence), and will be towed to The GPPD to be examined as any piece of evidence would be. We also have several other pieces of evidence that will help us investigate this offense.
Update at 1:10 p.m.: Tarrant County College just tweeted what you see above: The lockdown's over, but the campus is closed "immediately."
Update at 1 p.m.: Several media outlets, including WFAA, says the lockdown has been lifted. But there has been no official word from school or police officials. Other sources, including KXAS-Channel 5, are saying police have suspended the search, but that the suspect remains at large. TCC's coordinator of public information services, Rita L.B. Parson, says she is "about to send a statement."
Update at 12:50 p.m.: Tarrant County College just dispatched the following media advisory:
Tarrant County College Southeast Campus is currently on lockdown because an armed suspect was seen in the wooded area south of the campus.
The suspect apparently was being chased by the Arlington Police Department in an incident unrelated to TCC.
Lockdown status restricts access to and from the building. Occupants are asked to remain in secured areas until notified by TCC police that is safe to depart.
Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
Original item posted at 12:19 p.m.: Minutes ago Tarrant County College tweeted that its Southeast Campus, located at 2100 Southeast Parkway in Arlington near Joe Pool Lake, is on lockdown. Arlington police say it's related to a suspect wanted out of Grand Prairie.
An armed suspect wanted in connection with a residential burglary is believed to be in the wooded area behind the campus. According to DFW Scanner, a Department of Public Safety helicopter was involved in the search, and Grand Prairie police continue to scour the grounds using the K9 unit.
The Star-Telegram is reporting that students have been told via text to "get out if you can or stay in your room, turn out lights, close blinds, lock the door and hide."
The TCC website now directs users to this emergency notification site, which is posting updates as they come in. TCC's coordinator of public information services, Rita L.B. Parson, says a statement will be sent to media shortly.
This is the same campus where Grand Prairie police shot and killed a shoplifting suspect in January.

BALTIMORE - Shackleford was sweating profusely, bucking and kicking until six crewmen finally shoved him into the No. 5 gate at Pimlico Race Course.
One ton of horseflesh all but screamed, "Get me out of here."
Less than two minutes after the gate sprang open, the nervous colt was a cool, classic winner of the Preakness Stakes.
Shackleford held off a late charge by the 2-1 favorite, Animal Kingdom, spoiling yet another Triple Crown try and beating the Kentucky Derby winner by a half-length Saturday.
The chestnut colt, who led into the stretch in the Derby two weeks ago, finished the job at 12-1 odds, covering the 13/16 miles in 1 minute, 56.47 seconds.

There are news reports all over the Internet about this, including links to the actual documents for those inclined.
Deadline.com summarized the latest in the chain of events.
Part of their report says:
Warner Brothers' long legal battle with the heirs of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel moved closer to a final resolution this week. On Wednesday US District Judge Otis Wright III issued an order granting the studio and its subsidiary DC Comics a partial summary judgment in cases brought by Laura Siegel Larson and the estate of Joanne Siegel. The order confirms WB and DC's long contention that a 2001 agreement with the heirs granted them the rights to the Man from Krypton. In a sense, it is a bit anti-climactic. A January ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a 2008 ruling that the Siegel heirs still controlled the lucrative rights to Superman and his younger self Superboy because a binding agreement was never reached by the parties in 2001 as WB and DC claim. The studio has been incrementally fighting that ruling over the last four years and getting some real traction in the last several months. In a February filing for summary judgment, WB and DC asked the judge to reconfirm the earlier ruling of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that basically gave them full rights to the superhero character and the freedom to move forward with its Superman big screen reboot "Man of Steel" and other related properties without the threat of any more legal action by the creators' heirs and estates. "DC brings the issue back before the Court on remand by way of its February 7, 2013 Motion for Summary Judgment. DC contends quite simply that the 'Ninth Circuit's binding ruling compels judgment in DC's favor on its Fourth Counterclaim in both Siegel cases; renders DC's remaining counterclaims in the cases moot . . . While DC perhaps overstates the simplicity of the matter, it is nevertheless correct that the Ninth Circuit's ruling obliges the Court to grant its fourth counterclaim," wrote Judge Wright on March 20.

RANGOON — Burma President Thein Sein has ordered a new commission and the country's highest court to draft a proposed so-called "protection of race and religion" law, which could include a controversial measure to restrict interfaith marriage, according to lawmakers.
A petition signed by about 1.3 million people has called for the president to pass into law a version of a bill drafted by lawyers on behalf of leading monks in the nationalist 969 movement.
If enacted without amendment, the bill—which is thought to be targeted at Muslims in Burma—would require Buddhist women to get permission from their parents and local government officials before marrying a man from another faith. It also includes restrictions on converting to another religion, a limit to the number of children people can have, and measures to stop polygamy—which is already strictly illegal in Burma.
Late last month Thein Sein, without formally expressing support for the bill, forwarded it to Parliament for discussion, but Speaker Shwe Mann immediately sent it back, insisting that it was the executive branch's responsibility to draft laws, then pass them to Parliament to debate.
On Friday, Shwe Mann announced in Parliament that he had received a new letter regarding the bill, according to Pe Than, a lawmaker from the Rakhine Nationalities Development Party.
"He [Thein Sein] informed Parliament that his government will form a commission to draft a [protection of race and religion] law," he said.
However, in a move that baffled lawmakers, Thein Sein has reported decided that sections of the law covering certain issues would be drafted by the Union Supreme Court.
"His commission will take two issues: that one man is only able to have one wife and converting to another religion. The other two issues— interfaith marriage and restricting population—he will let the Union [Supreme] Court draft," Pe Than said.
He said the move to have a branch of the judiciary draft a law was unprecedented, and that he did not understand why the president has chosen to do so.
Pe Than said that the law would address the fear among many Burmese Buddhists that the country's dominant religion is under threat from Muslims. Tension between Buddhists and Muslims has run high since inter-communal violence broke out in Rakhine State in mid-2012, and later spread around the country.
"For me, I will not block this law as we all need to protect our race," he said. "But one thing about protection of race is that while we need to protect our fence, we should not disturb other people's fence."
Mi Myint Than, lawmaker from the Mon Regional Democracy Party, confirmed the president's decision.
"Usually, most draft laws come from the government administration. But on this issue, the president just sent it to the Parliament [originally]," she said, adding that it was more appropriate for a government ministry to draft the law.
"It's a little strange. I can't understand why," she added.
Presidential spokesman Ye Htut last week commented on the earlier forwarding of the proposal to Parliament. On the sidelines of a meeting in Naypyidaw on March 1, Ye Htut told The Irrawaddy that the president's wish in doing so was for Parliament to consider the issue, since so many people had expressed support for it, and not to make any political gain.
"According to our Constitution, no one from any political party can take political advantage from a religious issue," he said.
Thein Sein is going for the title Defender of the Faith like Henry VIII. The man is more populist than ASSK, a master of gesture politics. Than Shwe picked well.
Since when do Burmese women need permission from their parents, in contrast to their blessing, even in customary law? They have always married freely and eloped for love.
Extreme nationalism has a twin brother and he is called fascism.
There are many ethnics who belong to other religions. If this is becoming a law, there will be a huge problem between Buddhists and non-Buddhists among us. If its is okay to the Buddhists, who care? Let their daughters and sons to choose. Discrimination must not be tolerated and another big issue will come up among us..
Why are they(USDP) seriously talk about race & religion now?
How about what was happened in last 25 years under their control?
-What's happening in Mandalay before 1988 & now ?How did those Chinese become Myanmar citizen ?
-What's happening in Rakhine state before 1988 & now ? How did those Bengali become Myanmar citizen?
just face reality , We all know who is culprit , very obvious but they should realize ,this is very dangerous& serious politic game.
Echoes of Hilter………..a very dark day for Burma.
fox than shwe wants to kill many birds with one stone. One bird is Buddhist monks to cover his 2007 the cruel incidence of mass killing Buddhist monks, one is to downgrade DASSK's fair opinions on religious issue, one is to discriminate Christian Kachin, Karen and Chin, one is to please local naive Burmese upon their jealousy to business successful local Muslim and one is to warn local Chinese ethnics to keep quiet in all activity particularly in Businesses. Finally, how to win the vote in USDP upon DASSK to make their bama military power indefinitely with the Buddhist mania U nu's political strategy.
Finally, all ethnics will demand separation from union of Burma to adhere to giant rich China with the same incidence of current Ukraine clash. Let see who will win the game with the help of Bama naive, low-born, uneducated Buddhist monks, led by psy wirathu. Fox than shwe learned from Sri Lanka how to kill all ethnics as well when Sri Lanka's government easily and casually killed all Tamil rebels after cheating paper tiger UN.
He/She who ignores history will be condemned into the rubbish pit.

UNFCCC Secretariat Releases Report of Ireland's GHG Inventories
24 November 2009: The UNFCCC Secretariat has released the report of the individual review of the greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories of Ireland submitted in 2009 (FCCC/ARR/2009/IRL).The report indicates that Ireland's inventory continues to be prepared and reported generally in line with the Revised 1996 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines, the IPCC good practice guidance and the IPCC good practice guidance for land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF). Amongst other findings, the expert review team (ERT) found that Ireland could improve the transparency of its inventory submission by providing improved documentation of uncertainty analysis, especially for LULUCF, and improved documentation of its quality assurance/quality control. The ERT also found that the party had used data obtained from the EU emissions trading scheme (EU ETS) to estimate emissions from the energy and industrial processes sectors and provided only limited information in the national inventory report (NIR). Ireland's inventory continues to be generally of a high quality and covers all sectors and most categories. However, the ERT found that completeness could be improved with regard to reporting of a number of non-LULUCF categories, especially those categories for which methods to estimate emissions are available in either the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines or the IPCC good practice guidance.[The Report]

Businesses seek secure file sharing solutions to reap the benefits of greater collaboration without sacrificing security. With the advent of mobility in the enterprise, this need becomes both more pressing and more complicated. Employees want to be able to access company information and complete business activities on their mobile devices. Not only does this make it more difficult for IT teams to oversee security and manage the flow of corporate information, it also increases the likelihood that workers will resort to shortcuts, such as emailing themselves documents or using consumer-grade file storage solutions, to give themselves access to documents remotely.
Secure solutions for all devices
To get the best of both worlds - mobility and security - corporations need technological resources that make collaboration easy and intuitive across platforms while maintaining top-notch security. According to CIO Insights, these demands are driving a call for better mobile applications that are designed with enterprise requirements and workflows in mind. Although iOS and Android are emerging as enterprise favorites for mobile device operating systems, companies need solutions that can adapt to diverse operating systems, screen sizes and versions. Flexibility, scalability, agility and full functionality are all key.
In terms of functionality, the source emphasized that mobile resources need to facilitate full workloads, rather than giving employees convenient ways to do part of a task and then requiring them to finish the process on a PC. Additionally, mobile activities should be fully integrated with the rest of the system, whether that includes managed file transfer solutions or in-house software. In other words, true enterprise mobility requires a comprehensive system that gives employees consistent options regardless of the device they choose.
Mobility, collaboration and results
With the right tools in place, businesses have a lot to gain from flexible remote working options and collaborative processes. The Guardian described how small businesses have turned to mobile technology to cut operating costs without sacrificing efficiency. They benefit from instant communication, broader access to information and the option to have employees work from home or join a meeting without generating travel expenses.
"One of the biggest considerations when it comes to 'smarter working' is the perceived difficulty in getting people to work collaboratively and efficiently as a team when they are in separate buildings, surrounded by different environments," Paul Clark, managing director of Plantronics UK and Ireland, told The Guardian. "With the advent of new connected mobile technologies, such as wireless headsets and smartphones, and intelligent office communications software that keep workers connected to their colleagues, even when they are away from their desks, these are challenges that can be overcome."
Larger enterprises are incorporating mobile technology for many of the same benefits, including worker happiness. The Guardian reported that some businesses observed a 61-85 percent boost in job satisfaction when they implemented remote working options. Greater collaborative tools can also spur creativity and improve productivity, ultimately driving better business outcomes. These benefits all depend on well-designed systems, however, and IT teams often lack the expertise and manpower to create and manage everything in-house. For that reason, CIO Insights suggested, companies are turning to managed services to protect their data and coordinate their mobile resources.

Homeland Security Funding the Latest GOP Bargaining Chip in Immigration Debate
In November, President Obama issued an executive action that would protect nearly five million undocumented immigrants in the United States. Yet, since Congress returned in January, many questions linger regarding the implementation of executive action and the status of comprehensive immigration reform.
Last week, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs hosted a hearing regarding "Deferred Action on Immigration: Implications and Unanswered Questions." The purpose of the hearing according to Chairman Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) was to "obtain a more complete understanding of the logistical, financial, and national security implications of these [executive action] policies." Yet, many questions still remain.
Among other things, Obama's November action expanded the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and provided legal reprieve to the undocumented parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have resided in the country for at least five years. It protects a small number of the 11 million aspiring Americans who are living and working in the United States without documentation. At it is root, Obama's executive action considers the people, not the politics that create division.
The GOP majority in Congress is attempting to oppose executive action by threatening to defund the Department of Homeland Security.

The Bainbridge Crew is committed to excellence
It's not enough to just belong to local and national trade and business associations such as NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry), and NAHB (National Association of Home Builders). We believe as industry leaders we are responsible for shaping the image of the remodeling industry and projecting an image of professionalism and business acumen.
The Bainbridge Crew has been consistently recognized as a local, regional, and national leader in the remodeling industry by these organizations and others. Key staff members have selflessly given time and talents to help staff and events, as well as served in key leadership positions within some of these organizations.
Rick Bainbridge has served on the Board of Directors for NARI and has served on the Board of Advisors for the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce. He has been awarded the Squires Award from the Charlotte NARI chapter for recruiting new members to bolster NARI's ranks. Jill Bainbridge, Rick's daughter, acts as Director of Operations for the company. She is a very active member of the Junior League and has served on the East Chapter Board of Directors for the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce.
Ben McCollum, currently Sales and Marketing Manager for the company, has served as the Chairman for Charlotte's Remodelers Council and served on Home Builder Association of Charlotte's Board of Directors for two years. In both roles he raised awareness of the growing importance of the remodeling industry, as it had yet to become a billion dollar a year industry; today it comprises tens of billions of dollars of the US annual gross domestic product. He was instrumental in making the Remodelers Council annual Excellence in Remodeling Contest a continued and well publicized success, as well as launching the local NARI Contractor of the Year Awards to create yet another venue for professional remodelers to show off their awards-worthy projects.
In addition, our team of remodeling consultants, CAD designers, and planning coordinators all pursue continuing education opportunities through industry seminars. New information is incorporated into our current systems to reinforce positive processes and replace outdated processes. Because of continuing education, we are able to stay ahead and provide our clients with the latest trends and processes within the home improvement industry.
The Bainbridge Crew has supported many local not-for-profit organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, the American Cancer Society, and The Symphony Guild of Charlotte. We take pride in giving back to the community and providing an extra set of hands. Whether it be for volunteer work, in-kind donations of labor and materials, or event sponsorships, the Bainbridge Crew has and will continue to answer the call to lend assistance to our less fortunate neighbors.
Partnering with The Symphony Guild and the ASID Designer House has been our most vaunted and publicly recognized effort in regards to working with non-profit organizations. We have paired with the Guild and the ASID Designer House numerous times over the last twelve years, reaching the level of House Title Sponsor in 1998, 1999, and 2005. The 2005 ASID Designer House, located at 911 Ardsley Road, in the heart of Myers Park, was completely renovated by The Bainbridge Crew. The renovation included the addition of a master suite, family room, sunroom, kitchen remodel, and remodel of all five bathrooms. This project alone won us multiple awards both locally and nationally.

Branding is as important for law firms (small firms and solo attorneys included) as it is for any other business. When it's a hot summer day, and you're thirsty, and you walk into a 7-Eleven (http://www.7-eleven.com/), with that prominent 7 intersecting Eleven logo (http://www.funenergyfoods.com/assets/images/7-11_Logo.jpg) on the sign, and you're checking out the cooler, which soda are you most likely to buy? Chances are you're reaching for the Coca-Cola (http://www.coca-cola.com/index.jsp) before you grasp after the Royal Crown Cola (http://www.rccolainternational.com/), or any of these (http://www.campussqueeze.com/post/Top-10-Worst-Sodas-Made-By-American-Companies.aspx). I know I am. There is nothing quite like a Coke. I still get excited when I am in the Midwest, and can find Coke in bottles (http://www.popandroll.com/coke-art/Coca-Cola-Art_Coke_Bottle4.jpg). I am guaranteed to overpay for them.
And the reason I buy a Coke is not that Coke necessarily tastes better than other soda; and neither is it because I necessarily prefer Coke to any other soda. No. It's because Coke has become synonymous with soda, globally. In fact, in some parts of the South, the term "Coke" is used for soda, such that you could order a 7Up (http://www.7up.com/) Coke, if you wanted a 7Up (http://www.7up.com/). Sounds crazy, I know; but, it's true.
And, although Coke has a checkered past (cocaine being prominently featured in the original recipe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola#Use_of_stimulants_in_formula); helping to make sulry, ol' misanthropic Ty Cobb rich (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ty_Cobb#Post_professional_career); New Coke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Coke), the soft drink equivalent of the Edsel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edsel)), Coca-Cola has done a lot of things right, not the least of which is that bringing to our minds of the image of a bottle of Coca-Cola whenever we hear the word "soda".
This is not all about Coke, I promise you; but, the example of Coca-Cola is instructive for attorneys: being the most recognizable brand in a field (in the world), is some kind of aspirational goal; and, through the strength of the example, it is an application that people can easily grasp and understand. If you practice family law, with a concentration in divorce, be the Coca-Cola of divorce attorneys, as crass as it sounds. You want to make as certain as possible that attorneys referring cases and clients thinking of divorce find their immediate way to a picture of you appearing in their minds. Although there is no substitute for a global enterprise, and for the truckloads of cash that come with it, that the Coca-Cola company has access to, you can still map the Coke pattern for success, while remembering that even Coca-Cola had to start somewhere. So, brand yourself the way Coke does: define your service; define the client perception of your service; produce a consistent message; use constant reinforcement to, um, reinforce, your message.
Now, a brand does not pop out of thin air. Neither the familiar Coke logo, with script letters and streaking flourish (http://belleviewbulldogs.com/dotnetnuke/Portals/0/lg_new_coke_logo.jpg), nor the Nike swish (http://ester.drole.googlepages.com/NIKE_logo2.jpg/NIKE_logo2-large.jpg), was dropped from the heavens, like manna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manna). And, furthermore, the gaining of the additional heft those brands have taken on within the public imagination meant additional, and hard, work. So, there are some preliminaries here, even before you start marketing your brand. Before you create a brand, you have to know what you have/what you do/what you offer. You can't intelligibly relay your services in a meaningful way to your potential clients, and the public at large, and referring attorneys, if you don't yourself know what your services are. (Incidentally, this is one of the reasons why it is so important to create a thoughtful business-teamed-with-marketing-plan, and to craft and perfect a winning elevator speech (http://masslomap.blogspot.com/2009/05/love-in-elevator-convey-your-zeal.html). The exercise and application of these tools will create much of the background that you will require for determining your brand.) Figure out what it is that you are known for: What is the matter of your renown? Determine your services, determine how you will uniquely offer your services and determine to whom you will offer your services/who has interest in your services. The word "determination" is used intentionally, with a couple senses of its meaning intact: you must determine how your business will proceed, and you must be determined in applying your business decisions. Many attorneys starting out solo or starting out small may feel overwhelmed and under-qualified; but these attorneys must, at all costs, and nonetheless, avoid the appearance of a lack of confidence as this will permeate everything that they do, and will be apparent to observers, like clients, potential clients and referring attorneys. After about the first year of law school, you know the law, and you know how to write and talk like a lawyer. Don't let your self-perceived lack of experience drag you down. You will grow in competency; your confidence should always be with you. And, part of that confident manner must attach to the selling of specific and unique services, if you have your own firm.
Once you have established your niche, and have become aware of the unique services that you provide, the next step is to create your brand, which will be, in essence, the public perception of what you do/what your firm is, as those considerations may meld, and become synonymous, over time. Branding is all about perception. So, to begin the process of creating your brand, you must determine what the public perception of your services is. Once you determine what the existing perception is, consider whether it is in line with what you think your services mean. If your perception of what your business is and the public's perception of what your business is are out of wack, you have some work to do. If you are starting out, you are in a position to create a perception to relay to the public. This is a unique opportunity. It is much easier to spend the time and energy creating a brand before your client load becomes heavy enough that marketing and brand creation may appear as uniquely disquieting 800 pound gorillas sitting in your office chairs, necessary for your firm's growth, yet near impossible for the finding of the appropriate amount of time for devotion.
Whichever scenario you find yourself presently attached to, your marketing efforts must be grounded in planning. Your brand creation, as part of your marketing plan, as part of your business plan, should be an intentional, logical strategy. Your brand creation process should begin, and should be grounded in, market research. Create some branding options (descriptions, logos, elevator speeches) and query friends, colleagues, more senior attorneys, current clients, potential clients. Survey your support system and your market (your market includes current clients (some of your best referrers), potential clients and colleagues (who will refer cases to you)) in order to determine which brand options create client perceptions that match what your own perceptions of your business are, or what your own perceptions are of what your business should be, and should offer. (For free and easy online survey creation and results aggregation, check Survey Monkey (http://www.surveymonkey.com/).) Once you have collected your survey results, use those, as well as a dose of your good common sense, to select the brand components that fit you best, and that will be your best relay for your public perception.
Once you've settled upon a brand, the fun part becomes the dropping of that brand upon the wider world. This is what you have been waiting for. By now, you'll have your firm name, logo, tagline and marketing statements, including your elevator speech, in place. (If you are to art what Billy Carter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Beer) was to first brothers, you may want to stick to home brewing, and farm out your logo design. A great place to get a good logo on the cheap is through CrowdSpring.com (http://www.crowdspring.com/).) But, since you've done all this hard work, there's no sense in wasting it, by misusing it; and, the trick to implementing and developing a successful brand is maintaining your consistent use of that brand teamed with repetition of your brand components. In the small words, you brand should be the same and your brand should be here, there and everywhere (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Any9IZqrog). So, place consistent and repetitive brand markings on your website, stationery, business cards, email signatures, voicemail recordings, etc. If your research was dead-on, your potential clients' and referral sources' perception of your services should be the same as your own. You've eliminated confusion, and replaced it with precision.
Having a brand is nice, and displaying that brand for the world to see is nice, too. But, you must not forget that the development of that brand is the integral part of gathering success. You must work to promote your brand, and put the time and effort necessary into the development and use of a continuing pitch. But, be patient, if your efforts do not pay off immediately. This is a growth business. Let your brand breathe, let it grow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0wt4G1U0H4). Whenever and wherever you are marketing yourself, carry your brand with you. Wear it on your chest as a sheriff (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10qLYy6hiFQ)'s badge (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LluN8OTHLH4), as it can serve much the same function: people will understand that you mean business, that this is what you do, that this is how you do it and that you do it well. There should be the same immediacy and recognition emanating from both presentation scenarios. When you walk into a room, your potential clients and potential referral sources must know that the sheriff is near (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_RKPGS2vwM). And, on that score, of doing it well: your brand can only really be as successful as the service you provide behind it, the service with which you back it up. You must build your clients' confidence in your service, such that your brand becomes synonymous with that confidence. It is essential, then, that you don't overpromise, and that you follow through on what it is that you do promise. You must make your brand a true service mark, if you wish it to carry real meaning.
When you begin to consider the making of your, or your firm, brand, you need not reinvent the wheel, entirely; perhaps you'll only need to place a new, shiny hubcap. To that end, there are a number of good examples of firms that have created successful brands, and that you may view as templates for creating your own brand. Some exemplars are as follows: Lubin & Meyer, P.C. (http://www.lubinandmeyer.com/), for medical malpractice; Joel H. Schwartz, P.C. (http://www.joelhschwartz.com/), for personal injury; Lando & Anastasi, LLP (http://www.ll-a.com/), for patent/intellectual property; Breakstone, White & Gluck, P.C. (http://www.bwglaw.com/), for personal injury/medical malpractice; and, Kelsey & Trask, P.C. (http://www.kelseytrask.com/), for family law/bankruptcy.
In addition to the sampling of sites above, there are also a number of general online resources available covering the topic of law firm branding. A Google search (http://www.google.com/search?q=law+firm+branding&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a) will likely reveal more than you can handle. And, if you don't want to trouble yourself, check the following resources: this 2003 article (http://www.abanet.org/lpm/lpt/articles/mtk12031.html)from Dennis Kennedy (http://www.abanet.org/lpm/lpt/articles/mtk12031.html#author) contains a number of valuable links, many of which are still active, over five years later; Terry Isner (http://www.abanet.org/lpm/lpt/articles/mtk12034.html#author) provides a thoughtful take on brand creation (http://www.abanet.org/lpm/lpt/articles/mtk12034.html); Bob Weiss (http://www.abanet.org/lpm/lpt/articles/mmb04081.shtml#bio) covers the importance of the firm logo in a recent article (http://www.abanet.org/lpm/lpt/articles/mmb04081.shtml); this decade-old review of the effectiveness of law firm branding (http://www.altmanweil.com/dir_docs/resource/b55a03e9-08da-4018-8a00-33318727191a_document.pdf), from Altman Weil, Inc. (http://www.altmanweil.com/), is nonetheless still relevant; this article (http://www.interactmarketing.us/interact/freedata/brandingthelawfirm.pdf) presents a take on law firm branding from a marketing professional; here's a modern take on law firm branding (http://www.ipfrontline.com/depts/article.asp?id=18353&deptid=4), including a bit on the intersection of law firm branding and the elevator speech; this transcript of a roundtable (http://www.llrx.com/extras/ir35.htm) on law firm branding is great, and includes a bunch of excellent web resources; the ABA (http://www.abanet.org/) 's tome on "How to Build a Law Firm Brand" (http://www.abanet.org/abastore/index.cfm?section=main&fm=Product.AddToCart&pid=5150404PDF) is available as a PDF for a reasonable outlay at the ABA's webstore; and, the Brand Channel (http://www.brandchannel.com/start.asp?fa_id=479) is a great, general resource, for lawyers, and everybody else, too.
Review of these resources has been instructive for me, as well, and the ideas expressed therein have contributed to the drafting of this article. Great thanks also goes to Massachusetts LOMAP (http://www.masslomap.org/) 's summer intern, Michael Pirrello, who compiled research for just about every section of this article.

World of Warcraft – DirectX 11
http://www.vlatkahorvat.com/?do-we-need-homework-in-school Do We Need Homework In School World of Warcraft was tested at 1920×1080 and 5760×1080 with all settings at their maximum and DirectX 11 enabled where possible.
One point of note for the WoW tests is that currently resolutions such as 5760×1080 are not fully working in DX11 mode so we have tested 1920×1080 with that enabled and 5760×1080 with DX9 mode.
WOW returns us to a set of 1920×1080 results which see the reference GTX 680 performing above the stock 7970. Palit expand this lead and also manage to exceed the performance of the overclocked 7970. At 5760×1080 the Palit GTX 680 is performing well above the similarly priced reference 7970.
Here are examples of how the game looks at our tested settings.

The rest-frame ultraviolet spectrum of intermediate-age stellar populations (1 to few Gyr) is dominated by the UV flux of F-type stars at the main sequence turn-off. We have obtained high-resolution spectra of four well-studied F stars with STIS aboard HST to calibrate ultraviolet spectral features in terms of age and metallicity. The UV spectrum is mostly degenerate in terms of effective temperature and metallicity, but we found that two spectral indices, [2850/2770] and [2310/3040], allow a discrimination between these two parameters. The first index measures mainly the strength of Mg I 2852, while the second index is the mid-UV color. We find that the Mg I index is sensitive to the effective temperature, but insensitive to metallicity; the UV color is sensitive to both metallicity and T\rm eff. We discuss the importance of departures from LTE and chromospheric activity on these two spectral indices. We apply our results to estimate the time since the last major star formation episode in the early-type galaxy LBDS 53W091 at redshift z=1.55.

Fiji has post offices scattered throughout the country, with Nadi and Suva being the main hubs. Delivery is usually reliable, although service can be painfully slow. Surface mail tends to be the cheapest, but its arrival is prolonged and unpredictable. Airmail to New Zealand or Australia usually takes about three days, and to Europe or America it's about a week. It's possible to receive mail in all major post offices, and mail can be held for two months without charge. It's also possible to send and receive faxes at major post offices. Often, top-scale resorts and hotels offer postal services, so check with the front desk to see if they can help you.
Shipping Packages
Shipping packages and purchases to and from Fiji can be an adventure. FedEx operates in Fiji and is usually the safest bet. Some stores will offer to ship purchases home for you, but use your judgment: if the process seems smooth, chances are the store does this often. If forms can't be found, or there seems to be complications or questions, best to deal with the post office, FedEx, or even your accommodation host.

There's plenty of blame to go around for the New England Patriots losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday.
The most obvious group to put on the stand is the defense, but quarterback Tom Brady says that anyone pointing a finger should also cast on in the offense's direction.
While the defense may have failed to get off the field most of the afternoon, the offense did little to stay on it.
"The defense is busting their butt to get them off the field," Brady said. "Like I said, we've got to compliment them as well. So if they got on a long drive, we can't go in there and go three and out like we did. We've got to do a better job with that."
Brady didn't have much of an opportunity to do much early in the game. After the Steelers scored on their opening drive, Brady and the offense were forced to punt after three downs and didn't get the ball back until 14:57 of the second quarter.
In all, New England had the ball 20:38 and gained just 213 yards, with Brady being limited to 198 yards.
It was a far cry from his recent success against the Steelers, a team Brady has historically dominated against. He averaged 337 yards over his five previous meetings with Pittsburgh.
The difference on Sunday, he said, was that Pittsburgh played more man coverage than he's used to seeing and was somewhat unprepared for the look.
"Yeah, I think they played more man than what they've shown all year," Brady said. "The way you beat man is you make plays against it and you get them out of it, and we didn't do enough of that."
So no excuses, the Patriots didn't play well enough on either side of the ball.
"It's just a poor level of execution, all around," Brady said. "Individually, we'll have to look in the mirror and figure out what we need to do better."

Sept. 18, 2006 | Everyone who works on systems biology seems to have his or her own definition. Here is a good basic definition from Wikipedia: "Systems biology is an academic field that seeks to integrate different levels of information to understand how biological systems function. By studying the relationships and interactions between various parts of a biological system...it is hoped that eventually an understandable model of the whole system can be developed."
Systems biology is fueled by large-scale, global data sets such as those from arrays. The traditional methods of molecular biology gag on these large data sets because the field's culture demands that every study tell a neat, mechanistic story.
A typical array experiment reveals five to 10,000 active genes. With traditional methods, these are filtered down to a list of a thousand or so genes whose expression changes (although no one ever explains why the only interesting genes are the ones that change; as any fan of Sherlock Holmes knows, the dog that doesn't bark is sometimes the important clue!). The list is further pruned to a small number of known genes from known pathways. Inevitably, most of these pathways have been previously implicated — this gives the work its credibility — but one or two have not, which confers novelty and sizzle. The thousands of genes that don't fit the story are simply ignored.
Systems biology tries to use more of the data by thinking globally and moving beyond the known pathways. This requires sophisticated mathematical and computational methods for analyzing the data to find interesting patterns that are not closely linked to known biology. There's a tendency to focus on the math and computer aspects, since this is the new stuff, and to conclude that systems biology is focused on theory. This is a wrong conclusion.
Systems biology is squarely an experimental field that eats, drinks, and breathes data. To do systems biology, you need an experimental system that is amenable to large-scale experimentation. Ideally, you want to perturb your system in numerous ways (e.g., treat your system with several drugs at different dosages) and generate data using multiple complementary methods, for example, expression arrays to measure gene expression, ChIP-chip to get data on transcription factor binding, mass-spec proteomics to assess protein abundance, and single-cell microscopy to track protein localization. Time course data is especially valuable, as this lets you watch the system as it responds to each perturbation. You end up with large amounts of diverse data that grow further as you add data from external public or proprietary databases.
This is not for the data-phobic or those trying to get by on an R01 budget.
Challenges and ChangesSome of the computational challenges are obvious. You need good laboratory informatics to manage the experimental procedures and collect the data. For familiar data types, such as arrays, you need the usual software tools to analyze those data types individually. But you may also face new data types, such as protein-protein interaction data, which is widely used in systems biology.
The major new challenges arise from the need to integrate so much large-scale data. Typical large-scale data sets suffer from high error rates. You should not accept any single data point at face value. To draw valid inferences from such data, you have to jointly analyze many data points from different sources. Combining data in this way is a central theme of systems biology.
In a series of online articles at www.PharmaDD.com, I will review products, both commercial and academic, that play a role in systems biology and the other key fields supporting translational medicine. The first review, accompanying the Web version of this column, describes the software used at my home institution, the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB). This includes academic packages such as Cytoscape, Gaggle, SBEAMS, and GDxBase, and commercial software from Ingenuity. Do send along, for our consideration, the names of products you'd like us to review.
Systems biology is the next stop on biology's long postgenomic journey. It remains to be seen whether it'll be a good place to hang for a while or just a rest stop on the side of the highway. Either way, there's lots to see and do. So join me online!

Occasionally... as in very occasionally. They're just tasty.
The peanuts, just sort of happen. "Oh look... trail mix" sort of situations. I just don't bother picking the peanuts out- lol.
Peanut butter... I buy it sometimes. I go for the organic, and it's dirt cheap. I generally don't buy nut butter of any kind at all now, since I can't seem to control myself around it. I think I bought a jar last month, enjoyed it for 2 days, and was fine with it. Probably won't eat it again for another 3-4 months.

CoolSculpting® is the coolest, most innovative, non-surgical way to lose those annoying bumps and bulges of stubborn fat. This revolutionary technology targets and cools unwanted fat cells in the selected area to induce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges.
Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery, or downtime. Patients often spend procedure time reading, working on their laptops, or simply relaxing.
It's safe, FDA-cleared and effective. Results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months.
