Economic Information Bulletin No. (EIB-121) 39 pp, February 2014
"Food loss" represents the amount of edible food, postharvest, that is available for human consumption but is not consumed for any reason; it includes cooking loss and natural shrinkage (e.g., moisture loss); loss from mold, pests, or inadequate climate control; and plate waste. "Food waste" is a component of food loss and occurs when an edible item goes unconsumed, such as food discarded by retailers due to undesirable color or blemishes and plate waste discarded by consumers. Food loss (particularly the food waste component) is becoming an increasingly important topic both domestically and internationally. Better estimates of the amount and value of food loss, including food waste, could help serve as quantitative baselines for policymakers and the food industry to set targets and develop initiatives, legislation, or policies to minimize food waste, conserve resources, and improve human nutrition. Reducing food loss would likely reduce food prices in the United States and the rest of the world, though the effects depend on the nature of supply, including import and export considerations.
In the United States, 31 percent—or 133 billion pounds—of the 430 billion pounds of the available food supply at the retail and consumer levels in 2010 went uneaten. Retail-level losses represented 10 percent (43 billion pounds) and consumer-level losses 21 percent (90 billion pounds) of the available food supply. (Losses on the farm and between the farm and retailer were not estimated due to data limitations for some of the food groups.)
The estimated total value of food loss at the retail and consumer levels in the United States was $161.6 billion in 2010. The top three food groups in terms of share of total value of food loss were meat, poultry, and fish (30 percent, $48 billion); vegetables (19 percent, $30 billion); and dairy products (17 percent, $27 billion). The total amount of food loss represents 387 billion calories (technically, we mean Calorie or kcal hereafter) of food not available for human consumption per day in 2010, or 1,249 out of 3,796 calories available per American per day. Recovery costs, food safety considerations, and other factors would reduce the amount of food that could actually be recovered for human consumption.
The study also reviewed the literature and found that food loss is economically efficient in some cases. There is a practical limit to how much food loss the United States or any other country could realistically prevent, reduce, or recover for human consumption given: (1) technical factors (e.g., the perishable nature of most foods, food safety, storage, and temperature considerations); (2) temporal and spatial factors (e.g., the time needed to deliver food to a new destination, and the dispersion of food loss among millions of households, food processing plants, and foodservice locations); (3) individual consumers' tastes, preferences, and food habits (e.g., throwing out milk left over in a bowl of cereal); and (4) economic factors (e.g., costs to recover and redirect uneaten food to another use).
This report uses data from ERS's Loss-Adjusted Food Availability (LAFA) data series. This data series is ERS's core Food Availability data series, adjusted for spoilage, plate waste, and other food losses and converted to daily per capita amounts, calories, and food pattern equivalents (previously called servings and MyPyramid equivalents). Here, the LAFA data series' underlying loss assumptions are used to estimate food loss at the retail and consumer levels. The LAFA data series is considered to be preliminary because ERS continues to improve the underlying loss assumptions and the documentation of the data series. In August 2012, new estimates for consumer-level loss were incorporated into the data series. Therefore, the relative contribution of the different food groups out of total food loss has changed from previous ERS publications on food loss. The analysis is an extrapolation from the data as of September 2012 and is not based on an equilibrium model. For each food group covered here, we calculated the amount, value, and representative calories of food loss at the retail and consumer levels in the United States in 2010. The value estimates are based on retail prices.

Voice: Dean Yancer, Kochville Township
For all you folks who like the government in your business: I have had an account with Consumer Energy for 30 years. My account, as always, is in good standing.
When I called to have the power turned on, on an investment property, I was told I needed to fax or bring in documents to the credit department, then they would do a check; it should only take five days.
Apparently, they do not have a computer system that allows them to see my account has been in good standing for 30 years.
Let us hope that General Motors, another government-sponsored enterprise, is on the ball more than Consumers, otherwise my first payment on my new Chevy Volt will be due before they are done doing a credit check.

If you are staying in Fort Morgan rentals, you have easy access to the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, which is a serene spot to experience the Gulf Coast's stunning sunsets. Stroll along the Pine Beach or Jeff Friend trails for the best view of one of nature's most beautiful phenomena.
The late evening is one of the most beautiful times of day along the Gulf Coast, as the fishing charter boats come in to dock and beachgoers head back to their vacation rentals when the sun goes down. The sunsets are one of the most spectacular natural features of this region, and when you stay in Fort Morgan beach houses, you have a front row seat to this beautiful phenomenon. Fort Morgan rentals are also conveniently located near Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, which offers a serene setting in which to watch the sun set.
You can stroll along the beaches of the Fort Morgan peninsula and see the sun fill the sky with color as it meets the horizon, but If you are looking for another relaxing pre- or post-dinner activity, head to this park just before dusk for unspoiled natural beauty. Here are two of the refuge's trails that will give you the best view of the setting sun.
This one-mile path winds in a circle on the edge of Little Lagoon, which means visitors will see maritime forest as well as the coastline of the lagoon, where a variety of plant species and birds, such as herons and ibises, have made their homes. If you're lucky, you may even see an alligator in the swamps along the trail. The path is wheelchair accessible, which also means you can bring strollers through for a family walk.
This trail leads you through three different ecosystems - maritime forest, scrub and dune habitats - where hundreds of plants and animals flourish. At one point on this two-mile walk, you'll have a saltwater lagoon on one side of you and a freshwater lake on the other - a feature that makes this path stand out from the rest. Keep walking straight and you'll reach the sandy white beach of Fort Morgan, where you'll have a stunning, unspoiled view of the sunset.

Associated Press
MARIPOSA, California (AP) -- Firefighters from throughout California are being dispatched to protect homes that are under threat from a wildfire burning in the foothills near Yosemite National Park.
Fire officials said on Tuesday morning that the blaze had destroyed eight structures and was threatening 500 others. It isn't clear how many of those structures are homes, but officials said mandatory evacuation orders had gone out to some 13,000 phone numbers for homes and businesses. The fire has burned through nearly 2 square miles (5 square kilometers).
Four hotels about 16 miles (25 kilometers) away from an entrance to Yosemite were evacuated and Tuesday classes have been canceled for most of the Yosemite Unified School District.

Welcome to the tutorial guide. The tutorial will provide a user with advise and guidance on how to install SMTP Server.
Before we start the process of installation for the SMTP Server, it is good to know what is SMTP Server.
SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. SMTP is used for sending e-mail messages
between servers. As we are aware that most e-mail systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to another. These messages can then be retrieved with an
e-mail client using either POP or IMAP. SMTP is also used to send messages from a mail client to a mail server. It is because of this reason a user will need to specify both the POP or IMAP server and the SMTP server when he or she configures his/her
e-mail application.
After understanding what is SMTP, it is good to be aware of the setup requirements for the AppFuse is an SMTP server.
An easy way to configure AppFuse is to have an SMTP service running on localhost. Please note that this will not be a problem for some of the operating systems where an SMTP server is installed by default (like Linux and OS X distributions). If a user wants to understand how to install an SMTP server on his/her operating system then please go through following guidance as provided below:
If a user wants to send mail with Shafkat then he/she needs to download and unpack the distribution, cd into the 'shafkat-2.3.0/bin' directory
• then execute the run.sh (or run.bat for Windows) script. Please note that if a user runs this script on a Linux machine then he/she should start it as sudo. This is because it can bind to the necessary ports.
It is important to note that if a user wants to setup the SMTP server that comes with IIS, then he/she should follow the steps as provided below:
- first of all, please open the SMTP properties window
- by clicking the Start and then
- choosing the Control Panel
- and then choosing Administrative Tools
- and then Internet Information Services
- Expand the domain that a user is using for Appfuse
- and then right clicking on the default SMTP Virtual Server
- and then a user can click the Access tab
- click the Relay button which will bring up the Relay Restrictions window
- now a user can select the radio option for "Only the list below"
- and then click the Add button to add access to a particular domain or group
Please note that if a user is using the localhost as his/her SMTP Server then he/she should ensure to add 127.0.0.1. The reason behind adding this is so that the localhost can relay mail.
• In the end, a user can click on the OK and then Apply and then OK to save any changes.
Another thing that user need to do is to open port s25 and 2525.
If a user followed this tutorial guide then he/she would have learnt about SMTP server
and also the installation process for the SMTP Server.

There are Buffalonians who act like we invented winter.
Yet every culture that sees snow has its own ways of coping with – or even enjoying – the time between harvest and planting. Dutch author Yvette van Boven, who won a wide audience with "Home Made," her first cookbook, has written a second dedicated to the comforts of winter.
Drawing on her Dutch childhood and experiences living in Ireland and France, van Boven delivers a cozy, intimate collection of recipes and illustrations that ought to ably arm anyone looking to cook their way out of the January blahs.
First, readers can get busy. There are well-illustrated sections on making your own butter, yogurt and cheese, followed by recipes to help cooks properly exploit their own artisanal ingredients. Cardamom and orange scones and bannock bread start off the breakfast baking.
Holidays like Epiphany and St. Nicholas Eve have their characteristic treats, like Sintercookies, and drinks, alcoholic and not.
Soups like butternut creme, mushroom soup with spelt and creme of white beans and celeriac with chile oil promise to warm bellies. Beet blinis with marinated salmon and trout cured with beets show off the root vegetables' crimson power.
For mains, van Boven suggests shaking up classics, like a baked risotto of cauliflower with crisp bread crumbs, and a slimmer version of tartiflette, the French gratin of cheese, potatoes, onions and bacon, made with cod in place of the smoked pork.
A few of the recipes call for significant reserves of ambition, such as the deboned chicken stuffed with sausage. Most of the recipes are well within the reach of an average home cook.
Much of the artwork and typography is homemade, too. Van Boven created some of the typefaces, and her husband, Oof Verschuren, took the book's photographs.
At times, preciousness trumps usability, as thin-lettered, handwritten fonts on dark backgrounds can be difficult to read. Despite that, the lasting impression of "Home Made Winter" is one of idiosyncratic charm.

Only at the end of a long, cheerful visit with Bob Butera and Marilyn Sifford does a little sadness slip into the conversation, and then only with prompting.
We're sitting on a bench overlooking their woodland garden on almost two acres in Jeffersonville, Montgomery County, and Sifford is asked to explain her relationship to this splendid place.
"I've lost so many people in my life," she begins: a brother at 17, a sister at 22, both parents within three months, and still others, including her first husband, Inquirer columnist Darrell Sifford, who drowned while snorkeling during the couple's vacation in Belize in 1992.

In one of the biggest methamphetamine busts in Oregon history, $1 million worth of drugs were taken off the streets.
Police won't say why an Estrella Blanca bus, heading from California to Portland, was a target to search during its stop at the McDonald's in Madras Wednesday night.
But whatever their hunch was, it was spot on.
Police seized two suitcases stuffed with drugs from the bus's luggage compartment.
"This is the largest seizure of narcotics in the history of the CODE team since its inception nearly 20 years ago in 1991," said Lt. Ken Mannix, lead detective for the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement Team.
Thirteen pounds of marijuana was stashed in one suitcase, while 35 pounds of methamphetamine was in another suitcase; packaged and ready to sell on the streets.
Police arrested Juan Luis Rangel Cancino of Federal Way, Wash., for meth possession and delivery. But investigators suspect the 20-year-old wasn't acting alone.
"Any time you're dealing with such a significant amount of dope, clearly there's a drug trafficking organization behind it," Mannix said Friday.
Police haven't figured out who's behind the other piece of luggage filled with dope. But they're confident the bus driver and everyone else on board didn't know they were traveling with more than $1 million worth of drugs.
Cancino might be the only one who knows where the narcotics' next stop was, but detectives could take a few guesses.
"To the streets, to the schools, to your neighbor, to my community, to our kids -- everybody," said Mannix. "That's the unfortunate reality of it."
"That's again why we take such pride in making a seizure of this magnitude, and make an arrest along with it," he added.
Another frightening and ugly truth of the drug trafficking underworld; Police took a large amount of drugs with a high street value, and somebody is going to want them back.
"There's inherent dangers of the job, and we understand that. We know that, we recognize that, we train for that, we have equipment for that, we plan for that, and certainly we hope for the best," said Mannix.
Cancino is being held at the Deschutes County Jail on $250,000 bail -- but without bail on a hold for federal immigration agents as a suspected illegal immigrant.
NewsChannel 21 spoke with a manager of the Estrella Blanca bus line, who told us the driver of the bus police searched is on vacation. But, when we asked what the driver's name was, the manager told us he didn't remember.

Duquesne Finishes First in Points Amongst A-10 Competition at GW Invite
April 14, 2014
On Friday, April 11th and Saturday, April 12th the Duquesne women were in Washington, DC for the annual George Washington Invitational. This is only the second time the Dukes have earned an invite to the event. The race was run in dual format with each team going up against one other team for each race. Each team raced three times over the course of the two days.
On Friday afternoon the Duquesne women started the weekend of racing with a dual against host George Washington University. The first event saw the women's second varsity four of coxswain Caroline Connors, Kaitlyn Clem, Nicole Wozniak, Alison Kane, and Serenity Wallace race against two boats from GW. GW claimed the first two spots with Duquesne crossing the line third (no time was recorded). In the varsity four event that followed the first four of coxswain Grace Hindes, Mary Kate Keenoy, Lindsay Wyllie, Tory Snyder, and Maureen O'Brien finished just 8 seconds behind the varsity four from GW. The second varsity eight of coxswain Megan Parmarter, Anne Stevens, Emily Ames, Alex Watts, Marissa Conlin, Emma Riegel, Emily Herzig, Meredith Starczewski, and Kaitlyn McConville also crossed the line second (6:56.83) behind GW (6:50.40). The varsity eight of coxswain Michelle Karkos, Lauren Turner, Courtney Purslow, Hannah Mazur, Julia Borsari, Gretchen Swabe, Regina Dutz, Hannah Olinger, and Lauren Hughes finished first in 6:36.06 with GW crossing the line in 6:43.00.
Saturday morning the Dukes were matched up against the Hawks from Saint Joseph's. The second four (Caroline Connors, Kaitlyn Clem, Kaitlyn McConville, Alison Kane, Serenity Wallace) finished second to the SJU second four. The varsity four (same as listed above) crossed the line first in 7:36.8 with SJU's four a little under 9 seconds back (7:45.5). The second varsity eight (Megan Parmarter, Anne Stevens, Emily Ames, Alex Watts, Marissa Conlin, Emma Riegel, Emily Herzig, Meredith Starczewski, Rachel Swain) finished 11 seconds behind the second eight from SJU while the varsity eight (same as listed above) crossed the line over 4 seconds ahead of the varsity eight from SJU.
The final race of the weekend slated Duquesne against the US Naval Academy whose varsity eight and four are undefeated so far this spring. The second varsity four (Caroline Connors, Alison Kane, Kaitlyn McConville, Kaitlyn Clem, Nicole Wozniak) crossed the line third behind two fours from Navy. The varsity four finished second to the Navy varsity four with a decreased margin from the Occoquan sprints. The second varsity eight raced the second and third eight from Navy in a very tight race that saw Navy A finishing first and Navy B finishing second while Duquesne finished third just under 8 seconds off the pace of the Navy A entry. The Duquesne varsity eight finished second to Navy as well.
Head Coach Joseph Setting had this to say about the weekend performance, "Two years have passed since we last attended the GW Invitational and our results from this past weekend show just how much progress this team has made in that time span. The first time we attended this race, we did not win a single dual and were outraced, but this past weekend, we won three and even the duals we fell short in, the racing was tightly contested.
"Our 1V8 captured wins against very talented and deep A10 squads in George Washington and St. Joseph's and fell only to the U.S. Naval Academy, who is an NCAA team from last year and certainly looking poised to be in the mix again this year. Our 2V8, although not capturing an outright win in the duels, did show significant improvement in each race, capped off by a strong performance against Navy. Our V4's raced strong with the 1V4 securing a win over St. Joseph's, but falling to GW and Navy, although we showed progress in cutting the winning deficit against Navy, who we raced last weekend. Our 2V4 is very young and although they did not get an outright win, continued to gain valuable racing experience that they can build upon heading into our final races of the season."
The Dukes now have three weeks to work on gaining speed before their Atlantic-10 Championship on May 4th.

The question came up recently as for whom Lowry Island in Pascagoula was named.
Local historians bantered back and forth by email and it was determined that Robert Lowry (1831-1910) is the island's namesake.
The island is located off Martin Luther King Causeway between the East and West Pascagoula Rivers.
Lowry was governor of Mississippi from 1882 to 1890.
Mississippi State College for Women, now Mississippi University for Women, was created during his administration, and the University of Mississippi was made coeducational. Also, the East Mississippi Insane Asylum was located at Meridian while he was governor.
In Cecil Summer's "The Governors of Mississippi," we learn more. "In 1891 Lowry and newspaperman William H. McCardle prepared and published a "History of Mississippi." A shorter version of this history was made into a "School History" in 1893 and was widely used for 40 years in Mississippi schools.
Lowry enlisted in the Civil War as a private and was elected major of the Sixth Mississippi Regiment at Grenada. He was wounded at Shiloh and then elected colonel of the regiment which he led in battles at Corinth, Port Gibson and Baker's Creek. He was later promoted to brigadier general and commanded a brigade in Hood's army during the Nashville campaign.
Summer's account shows Lowry's birth date as March 10, 1831, in South Carolina. In 1840 Lowry moved from Tennessee to Mississippi. In 1844, he moved to Raleigh and lived with his uncle, Judge James Lowry. He was in the mercantile business in Raleigh until 1851, when he move to Brandon. He married Maria M. Gammage of Jasper County when he was 19 and they had 11 children.
In 1854 he moved to Arkansas where he became a lawyer. In 1865 he began a career in politics serving in the State Senate as a Democrat from Rankin and Smith Counties. In 1877, he ran for governor and was defeated by John M. Stone for the Democratic nomination.
In 1881 he was elected as the state's 32nd governor defeating Benjamin King by a vote of 77,727 to 52,009. It was during his term that former Confederate President Jefferson Davis visited the state capital and addressed the people.
An 1889 "Clarion Ledger" article noted that political activity related to peonage and racial discrimination in the Mississippi Delta and other areas of the state led to violence during Gov. Lowry's term of office. Rapid industrial development occurred during his administration according to an article on the Mississippi Department of Archives and History website.
The National Governors Association website adds to his bio: "During his tenure, a railroad commission was formed; state revenues were increased, as well as funding for state colleges. Also, an industrial college for girls was established; and railroad construction was advanced more than any other time in the state's history. Lowry completed his term and left office on Jan. 13, 1890. After running unsuccessfully for a seat in the U.S. Senate in 1901, Lowry retired from political life."
Gov. Lowry died on Jan. 19, 1910, in Jackson and is buried in the City Cemetery in Brandon.
Lowry Island is a site of interest for the location of a maritime museum for Jackson County.

When the 2014 NFL draft kicks off in just three days, the speculation on who's rising and falling can finally end, as players will be selected and the focus will shift to how each draft pick could impact his new team.
Until it starts, however, the rumors of which players are in position to be early draft picks and which players could be in line for a long wait on draft day will continue to run rampant.
At this point in the draft process, there's little reason for a player's draft stock to be rising or falling. A prospect could have recently increased his standing with an individual team by impressing in a predraft interview or private workout, but with draft week now underway, teams should be all but finished with their prospect evaluations and setting their final boards.
In many cases, the purported rising or falling of a player's draft stock isn't actually the result of movement on NFL teams' boards, but rather members of the media catching wind of where NFL teams rank certain prospects.
Nonetheless, recent buzz from around the web suggests the following players might be moving into positions where they could be selected higher or significantly lower than many have projected them to be drafted.

BESSEMER, Alabama -- Longtime Bessemer political figure Louise Alexander will face political newcomer Karen Dunn Burks in Tuesday's Democratic runoff election for Jefferson County circuit court, Bessemer division.
It was a tight race between the two women during the March 13 Democratic primary , with Alexander receiving 3,936 votes, or 43 percent, compared with 3,453 votes, or 38 percent, for Burks.
A third candidate, Eric McAdory, earned 1,688 votes, or 19 percent, and did not make the runoff.
>The duties: Keeps order of paper, dockets and records of the court.
>The pay: $69,098-$105403, depending on years of service.
DEMOCRATSLouise Alexander Age: 52
Political experience:Spent 12 years on the Bessemer City Council (term ended in 2010); ran unsuccessfully for Bessemer mayor and state representative for House District 56.
Professional experience:Owner of floral and gift shop; formerly worked as U.S. Postal Service carrier, funeral home director, executive secretary for Law Center of Civil and Criminal Justice in the U.S. Army.
Education:Graduate of J.S. Abrams High School; graduate of Southern Junior College in Birmingham with associate's degree in computer science and business administration; attended classes at University of Hawaii.
Karen Dunn BurksAge: 47
Residence: Hoover
Political experience:None
Professionalexperience: Has been an assistant in the Jefferson County tax assessor's office since October 2009 and from 2003 to 2007; previous jobs include homeless coordinator for YWCA of Central Alabama, assistant supervisor in the extended care program for Hoover Board of Education; executive director of Bessemer Family Service Center; counselor for TASC (Treatment Alternatives to Street Crimes); case manager for Aletheia House; intern with Bread & Roses shelter.
Education:Graduate Jess Lanier High School; graduate, Alabama State University with bachelor's degree in human services; attended classes at Miles College School of Law.
The winner of Tuesday's runoff will take on current Bessemer division Circuit Court Clerk Benny Watson, a former Democrat who is now in the Republican Party, in the November general election.
Alexander until 2010 had served on the Bessemer City Council for 12 years. She was born and raised in Bessemer and still lives in the city. She has said her years in local politics, a stint in the army supervising cadets and 10 years of operating a small business have primed her for running an office that services the general public and those in the local legal community.
Alexander sees small changes necessary in the Bessemer clerk's office, such as creating a place where the general public can come in and file legal documents online and making the clerk's office a more positive environment for the workers.
Burks is an assistant in the Jefferson County tax assessor's office. This is her first run at political office, but Burks said she has worked in and around government for several years and she is familiar with budgeting and setting priorities. Burks said she would like to hear from employees in the clerk's office to determine the needs of the that office.

Afterschool's UEE Gets Barefoot, Goes Diving for Barefoot Friends
On June 26, a production member of SBS's Good Sunday - Barefoot Friends revealed photos of UEE training for a diving project. In the photos, we see UEE in a fluorescent swimsuit, looking incredibly relaxed and ready to dive. Along with the other members of Barefoot Friends, UEE is currently training for the upcoming "1st Annual Gimcheon Masters" diving competition opening on July 11 at Gimcheon Indoor Gymnasium. The singer trained by entering the water a dozen times without showing any signs of weariness -- like a true athlete! The diving training instructor for Barefoot Friends, coach Hong Myung Hee, stated, "Although diving and swimming have a lot of technical differences, apart from the other members, we expect UEE to show good results in the competition, as a former swimmer."

Thousands of badgers are likely to be shot next year under a Government plan to approve widespread culling to protect cattle from tuberculosis.
Ministers are expected to announce within days that the cull will proceed after a review of the science showed there would be a significant fall in infections in cattle.
However, farmers campaigning for the right to shoot badgers will be disappointed that no licences will be granted this year. The culling is expected to commence in June next year, after badger cubs have been weaned and there is less risk of leaving them orphaned underground.

US House of Rep. poised to apologize for slavery, Jim CrowBreaking News
While many states have apologized for slavery, it will be first time a branch of the federal government will apologize for slavery if the resolution passes, an aide to Cohen said.
By passing the resolution, the House would also acknowledge the "injustice, cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery and Jim Crow."...
The name "Jim Crow" came from a character played by T.D. "Daddy" Rice who portrayed a slave while in blackface during the mid-1800s.

When o when will the American Congress apologize to me and my ancestors who were brought here in chains, transported for life and brutalized to early graves?
That they came here in 1611 from Ireland should be of little consequence. Perhaps some New York legislator can propose this, ore even Virginia, since that's where they landed.
No? Gee...why not? I suppose you're going to tell me that I'm not in line for any reparations, either.
Vernon Clayson - 7/30/2008
If Congress is to apologize they should apologize to all citizens for the harm they have caused, perhaps to the pioneers who settled the west without federal funding and the comforts of modern transportation or the Natives that were displaced by the onrushing hordes of profiteers. The legislator who proposes this is pandering, every black person should tell him that don't need his sorry apology nearly as badly as he needs their vote. Tell him what VP Cheney told Sen. Leahy, "go f--- yourself."

The number of manufacturers producing end-use parts through additive manufacturing is relatively small, but the number of manufacturers seriously considering doing this is large. What will it take for some of these companies to add this direct digital production to their capabilities? A 3D printing system from Stratasys promises to make additive manufacturing much more accessible to companies like these by lowering the threshold for adopting the technology. The company's new "Mojo" is a desktop 3D printing system that is priced at less than $10,000, can be leased for less than $200 per month, and includes features aimed at making 3D part-making more intuitive and seamless than other approaches to production.
Like other 3D printers from Stratasys, the Mojo unit builds parts through fused deposition modeling (FDM)—a process that creates resilient plastic parts out of thermoplastic materials comparable to those of injection molding. Applications of FDM therefore extend beyond prototyping to include functional tools, fixtures and end-use parts. Modern Machine Shop's "Additive Manufacturing" supplement recently profiled an injection molder now using FDM to make short-run mold tooling in cases in which the quantity is too small to justify a steel mold, and end-use production parts in cases in which the quantity is too small to justify molding. The Mojo system now brings the potential for precisely this type of part-making to the desktop, provided the part can fit within the unit's build envelope of 5 × 5 × 5 inches.
A software interface developed for this system simplifies 3D printing, the company says. The print wizard imports the CAD model and steps the user through decisions related to orientation and scaling, as well as the number of pieces to be built in the cycle. A hardware innovation intended to further simplify the process is the integration of material spool and print head into a single package (the "QuickPack" engine). Thanks to this design, the company says loading material into the Mojo unit is a straightforward step that is similar to snapping an inkjet cartridge into an office paper printer.

Body art festival in Madison
MADISON, Wis. (AP) _ About 100 artists are expected to gather this week for a body art festival in Madison.
The Greater Midwest Body Art Fest runs Wednesday through Saturday.
Workshops range from creating flamboyant, Mardi Gras-type headdresses to crafting custom teeth for a latex-embellished model. The festival will also include ``body art jams,'' with artists painting models freestyle, as well as a modeling competition and runway show.
Models wear the minimum until their skin is completely covered. Body painters use specially formulated cosmetics to create their illusions.
Michelle Soltis and Dawn Marie Svanoe started the event this year. The two are professional body painters and own Madison-based Glitter to Gore, which sells specialty makeup.
The event is expected to draw about 500 people.

I love getting outside, running, walking generally spending time in the great outdoors. I find that even on my lowest of low days spending time outside dramatically improves my attitude. However this can throw out Worm's sleep patterns & also raises issues regarding sun protection.
Along comes Snooze Shade Plus. This shade fits over your pram & blocks out a huge amount of sunlight. This helps your baby relax & stop being stimulated by their surroundings. When fully closed up the shade is UPF 50+, and it is REALLY dark inside, when the front panel is rolled down the single layer of mesh filters 80% of the UV Rays & allows your child to look out.
I have a rather large 3 wheeled pram, and I am pleased to say that the Snooze Shade Plus fits really well. It is a universal fit, so regardless of what sized pram you have the plus will fit. I found it very easy to put on, I left it attached to the bottom of the pram all the time & pulled it up over the canopy when I needed it.
There are lots of varied opinions on the usage of sun screen on babies. I purchased the Cancer Council Toddler & the Hamilton Sun Toddler Milk to use for Worm, but they both suggest waiting until 6 months before
using. Before then the recommendation is cover up- easier said than done in 35+ degree weather!
The Snooze Shade Plus gave me comfort that Worm would be covered up in the sunshine, and although I still ensure she wears a hat & now she is over 6 months old I put sunblock on it is good to know that she is protected.
I have really loved using the Snooze Shade Plus, and it certainly gets a work out, it came in handy when the Farmer was playing tennis on the weekend, Worm was able to have a good nap in her pram. I can think of numerous occasions over the past 6 months where I have draped blankets or muslin wraps over the pram – I remember when I was visiting my mother in Sydney, I actually had to purchase a blanket one day as Worm wasn't settling and Mum & I had LOTS of Christmas shopping to get done, if we had of had the Snooze Shade Plus on the pram that day it would have been ready to use, and it would have been MUCH more convenient than trying to keep a blanket over the pram the whole day.
We are about to travel again & I'll be taking our Snooze Shade Plus with us, to ensure that whatever pram I use whilst we are away Worm is fully protected.
I loved this product so much it inspired me to get my photoshop skills on and I am very pleased to award the Snooze Shade Plus the very first
Cara at Snooze Shade has very generously granted all my readers a 20% discount off store wide! Simply go to http://snoozeshade.com.au and use the code TIS-THE-LIFE when you check out. This FANTASTIC offer will let you purchase the Snooze Shade Plus for only $39.96 with FREE DELIVERY!

"I celebrate the life of my beautiful, quirky, funny, brilliant friend Farrah today as I do every day," costar Kate Jackson tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement. "Though I'm not in Los Angeles and won't be able to attend the memorial, I will certainly be there in spirit and with love! Her memory is always with me, I carry her in my heart."
Join us in remembering Fawcett's legacy through five of our favorite clips from her decades-long career.
The Dating Game, 1969
One of Farrah's first TV appearances saw the former beauty queen take part in this late-'60s dating show. (If you're unfamiliar, it was essentially The Voice, but for making out.) Interestingly enough, the man she would choose bears a striking resemblance to her future partner, Ryan O'Neal.
Noxema Commercial, 1973
By the early '70s, Farrah had won small roles in projects as varied as The Partridge Family and Myra Breckinridge, but she still took regular gigs as a commercial pitch woman, including this famous Super Bowl spot with Joe Namath that practically oozed sex.
Charlie's Angels, 1976
Fawcett's role as Jill Munroe in Charlie's Angels was so iconic that it's easy to forget the actress only appeared in a season and change of the series – just 29 episodes in all. But watch the clips on YouTube and it's easy to see why the show made her a star. We're particular fans of this action sequence, where Munroe evades capture with only the help of a skateboard (and stunt double).
Late Show with David Letterman, 1997
What is it about David Letterman that brings out the weirdness in stars? Before Dave entertained a catatonic Joaquin Phoenix (but after he'd been flashed by Drew Barrymore), the TV host made polite chit-chat with a notably loopy Fawcett during an appearance to promote her pay-per-view special, All of Me. The spot was so infamous that Fawcett spent nearly the entirety of her 1999 visit to Letterman's couch rehashing it.
The Emmys, 2006
In her last public appearance, Farrah reunited with Angels costars Jackson and Jaclyn Smith to pay tribute to the show's producer Aaron Spelling, who had passed away a few months before. Three years later, Fawcett received her own posthumous Emmy honor when she was nominated for producing the documentary Farrah's Story.

University Academy Charter's distance medley relay team, led by All-County cross country runner Benjamin Singleton, were just one of the standouts at the eighth annual Leon Bailey Liberty Relays -- the starting point of the indoor high school track and field season -- held Friday at the Jersey City Armory.
The distance medley quartet of Singleton, Gary Kassee, sophomore Emil Severe and Joel Young clocked a first-place school record time of 12:40.00 -- shaving five seconds off the previous mark established last year.
Emil Severe and Young also ran with last season's record-setting foursome.
The achievement by the 2008 edition of the Generals was highlight by heralded Singleton, who ran a relaxing 2:10.00 in the half-mile lead-off position.
Manny Severe, a junior, and senior Evans Severe, older brother's of Emil, captured first-place in the shot put relays for UAC with a combined throw of 60-feet, 41/2-inches.
In the girls competition, St. Dominic Academy took first-place medals in the 3,200 meter relay, the high jump, and the shuttle hurdles.
The Blue Devils' foursome of Kristina Jimenez, Nicole Wheeler, Meghan Donovan and Morgan West ran an impressive winning time of 10:29.2 in the 3,200m relays. West and freshman Intyhe Crawford then combined for a first-place leap of 9-feet, 2-inches in the high jump, while the freshman tandem of Sarah Fisk and Cecelia Sabbers placed second with a shared jump of 8-10 for SDA.
SDA's quartet of Taylor Allen, Diarietou Ciss, freshman Jamie Laurie and Jane Cunningham won the shuttle hurdles relay event with a time of 38.3 seconds.

I've always thought Afinogenov was a waste of skill on a player with little/no drive. He can be good, but so could Samsonov. They are similiar in that way.
We don't need passagengers or players Z or Pav could make better, they could make basically anyone better (besides Samuelsson)
Posted 04 February 2008 - 10:31 PM
even if Det's trainers are groin experts
Posted 04 February 2008 - 10:46 PM
I sure to like saying Afinogenov though.
Why? So he can sit in the stands during the playoffs.
Posted 04 February 2008 - 10:48 PM
He's good enough to play on Detroit's 2nd line and ahell of a lot better choice than renting Sundin or overpaying for Hossa.
You obviously haven't seen him play enough.
Posted 04 February 2008 - 10:57 PM
Gratton sitting in the stands for us? Funny, for someone claiming that another poster hasnt seen Afinigenov play, apparently you know absolutely nothing about Gratton if you think guys like Drake and Kopecky should play over him. He'd be a huge upgrade to the bottom 6.
(* = beatdown) (** = at the end of a shift)
Preseason prediction - Anaheim over Philadelphia in 6 (ok, well i'll settle for one right...)
Posted 04 February 2008 - 11:49 PM
Oh... but wait, Lou... haven't you heard? Kopecky is supposed to be this big, unstoppable power foward that the Wings have. He's even been compared to a young Todd Bertuzzi. Now why, oh why, would he be benched? He's going to be a star in this league, I just know it! And he's definitly better than that old goon Gratton. What are you thinking!!??
...hehe... I love poking fun at peoples ideas of what Kopecky is on this forum...
Posted 04 February 2008 - 11:54 PM
Chris Gratton, not Josh. Chris is the one with 18 points on the 3rd line on the worst team in hockey. This guy would help out grit, toughness, scoring, size, everything.
Posted 05 February 2008 - 12:01 AM
...hehe... I love poking fun at peoples ideas of what Kopecky is on this forum...
Your making me cry.
Posted 05 February 2008 - 12:04 AM
I'm surprised, if your actually being serious. I'd think that a fight fan like you would realize what a chump Kopecky is, and is not going to be the player people overated him to be around here. He has one good game, and all of a sudden people are calling for him to be the new 2nd line center. Ridiculous.
Posted 05 February 2008 - 12:20 AM
But i wouldnt hesitate benching him for an enfocer or chris gratton

I have. I live in Buffalo, and you're out of yourf****** mind.
And overpaid. I called WGR and jokingly said the Sabres should get Homer for Max, and they lit me up, saying that would never happen, and then they were even more pissed when they found out that Homer makes LESS than Max does.
He's a severe underachiever who (now) can't stay healthy. He is small and can't finish. Why the f*** would you want him for the PLAYOFFS?

Cool name, but now I don't want him either.

Maxim Afinogenov appears to be on his way to the Kontinental Hockey League, as Yahoo! Sports reports that SKA St. Petersburg is set to sign the Russian winger to a five-year contract.
According to writer Dmitry Chesnokov, KHL president Alexander Medvedev made the announcement on Friday.

I made this a few weeks ago and forgot to rate it. It was super simple and I love turkey and stuffing but I wasn't loving the apple juice in the stuffing. Next time I'll try the sherry. Thanks for the recipe!
Well, I used this recipe as my starting point; I had half a turkey breast, with skin& bone, and no gravy... but I had to use the meat before it spoiled so I removed the skin, and substituted 2 cans of condensed Campbell's soup, one Golden Mushroom and one Cream of Mushroom w/ roasted garlic. I mixed the two, added some water to reach the right consistency....also added some chopped apple to the stuffing, and cooked it on High for 4 hours. It was fabulous! My kids loved it & had seconds. So while the ingredients were somewhat different, I thank you for the technique.
Excellent and easy to make! Truly a 5 star recipe.

What Month In Your Child's Development Has Been Your Favorite?melissaejordan
I took to Twitter today to ask other moms what month in the first year of their child's life was their favorite. A lot of them answered that every month brought new things to enjoy and love (so true!) but there were a few standouts among all of those developmental milestones that showed up again and again in their tweets.
After the jump, see which months proved to be the favorite of Twitter moms, plus my favorite month too!
The most popular months were 6 months and 10 months – both of which are packed full of fun milestones – most babies are eating solids by 6 months, rolling, and laughing. By month 10 most babies are crawling, some are even walking. Ten month olds are full of babble and first words and their personalities really start to shine.
Of course, every one has a different opinion on which month is their favorite. For me, it was month 8, when Everly was still super squishy and giggly, but not yet mobile. We took her to Spain for vacation and it was the perfect age for air travel. She was still small enough that baby carrying her everywhere was a breeze and we didn't have to worry too much about baby proofing yet.
Here is what other Twitter moms had to say on the subject:
I wonder if Arlo's 8th month will be my favorite too? Every single month that passes has been such a blessing – to see him growing and changing is the most wonderful experience. If you had to pick one, what month in your child's first year would be your favorite?

LOCKPORT - Cornerstone Community Federal Credit Union of Lockport has purchased naming rights for the city's new $13 million twin-rink ice arena, scheduled to open in September.
The credit union has called a news conference for 10 a.m. Wednesday in front of the arena at Chestnut and Market streets to announce details of its 12-year agreement with Lockport Ice Arena and Sports Center, the private, not-for-profit owners of the complex, which is being built on the site of a former supermarket.
The arena is expected to serve as home ice for a junior hockey team and for several high school teams and youth hockey associations.
City officials hope the regular influx of young players and hockey parents will prove to be an economic boost for downtown Lockport.

Bill Maher Mocks Occupy Wall Street
Bill Maher gives OWS some very good advice. ~ Ilene
Bill Maher Mocks Occupy Wall Street: Says Stop Camping, Start Participating (VIDEO)
Via the Huffington Post
"In a segment that's bound to ruffle the feathers of some progressives, Bill Maher had some strong, sarcastic words for the Occupy Wall Street movement on Friday's episode of "Real Time."
His overall message: it's time to leave the parks and get in the game. After citing some upcoming OWS plans, including an event on July 4 that will "facilitate a visioning process" as well as a gathering of the OWS "guitarmy" (i.e. a guitar army), Maher explained what OWS' next step should actually be…"

Here shortly im going to get my pistol permit and im looking at a glock 20 for a carry/close range hunting gun. Any thoughts?

Ted Nugent! I think 10mm is his second choice after a bow.
Wolfgang james
December 12, 2013, 07:23 PM
Ya he finished off many game with a 10 even in Africa
December 12, 2013, 07:53 PM
I've given quite a bit of thought to that. The caliber itself is great and it should suffice nicely for smaller deer and antelope, but handgun hunting always means traveling for me so I much rather play it safe and pack a .44. Especially now when some airlines have implemented an one firearm limit per passenger.
That's pretty much the only thing that has prevented me from hunting with my Para P16-40 10mm conversion so far. By all means, go for it, and let us know how it turned out.
December 12, 2013, 08:39 PM
The 10mm has good ballistics for hunting, but if I were to consider carrying one, it would have to be in a 1911 frame. Light weight pistols and high powered calibers do not lend themselves to pleasant shooting experiences.
The companies that offer the 10mm in the 1911 style frame are all priced pretty much the same...right around the $1000 mark. The trigger in a 1911 is better than what you're going to find in a Glock. Plus, the standard longer barrel (than Glock) and extended barrel offerings in after market purchases is something to consider too.
Wolfgang james
December 12, 2013, 08:58 PM
From what I've seen online the steel frame guns will crack after a while due to the thump of that round but the plastic will flex and absorb it.
December 12, 2013, 10:52 PM
If your going to buy a handgun for hunting you can do better than a 10mm. I consider 357 marginal out of a 6 inch revolver for deer and 10mm isn't going to be much better. As a defensive handgun for the woods I think its a good choice but primary hunting theres better choices. Of course within in range it will do but why? 10mm ammo is expensive and harder to find than 357 or 44 mag. Just my opinion of course.
Wolfgang james
December 12, 2013, 11:05 PM
Sorry I will clarify a little better, the primary use will be concealed carry and back up weapon or <15yd for deer. I carry 12ga or .270 so it wont be reaching out at all and I do plan to convert to a 6" barrel and slide to improve the sights.
December 12, 2013, 11:27 PM
If thats the case 10mm should fill your bill then. friend o mine carries a 10mm Glock with hard cast double tap ammo in the woods. 15 yards will put a dent in something for sure.
December 13, 2013, 01:56 AM
Any who say the 357 isnt great for hunting need to read EVERYTHING Paco Kelly ever wrote. And dont be mis-led the 10mm will exceed the 357 in the right bullet weights. Load em up, shoot em up repeat repeat repeat and kill some game!
December 13, 2013, 07:31 AM
I just think 357 is the lowest power round suitable for hunting in a handgun. So why hunt with the lowest power if you can handle more. Maybe is a better way to explain my opinion. And true 10mm may exceed the 357 in some loadings but unless I am mistaken isn't in the same arena as the 44 mag or 45LC. Also I don't know who Paco Kelly is, but I am going to assume he is a professional hunter/shooter and true he may have taken everything under the sun with the 357, but a pro shooter may exceed the avg joes ability to place a shot at greater range. And also may have been using super hot loads giving the 357 even more punch. I will check him out.
Wolfgang james
December 13, 2013, 07:38 AM
The reason im not looking at the 44 or 45lc is that I want a semi for carry. My next handgun very well may be a wheel gun and that will have the power to make a deer do back flips and anything smaller will vaporize.
December 13, 2013, 07:41 AM
Like I said for hunting side arm I agree its a solid choice. Only down side is availability of ammo, and ammo prices.
Rio Laxas
December 14, 2013, 07:41 PM
The 10mm has good ballistics for hunting, but if I were to consider carrying one, it would have to be in a 1911 frame. Light weight pistols and high powered calibers do not lend themselves to pleasant shooting experiences.
I own both a Glock 20 and have owned 3 10mm 1911s (all government length). It is my opinion that the perceived recoil is less on the Glock 20. It is also easier to use in cold weather with gloves. The Glock 20 isn't really all that light and the flex in the polymer frame absorbs some of the recoil. Longer hunting barrels are also readily available for the Glock.
December 15, 2013, 07:33 AM
The Glock is really the only way to go in 10mm. The best loads are more than adequate for any animal in North America. Your only limitation is range. A long barreled 357 revolver will offer slightly better ballistics, but the biggest advantage is the revolvers longer sighting plane and better trigger. You won't shoot a Glock as accurately at distance as a revolver.
When fired from 8" barrels 357 and 44 mag numbers are impressive, but when fired from 4" or shorter barrels suffer severe velocity loss and are far, far from published numbers. The best 10mm loads will easily beat 3-4" 357 numbers, and are right on the heels of 3-4" 44 mag numbers.

If your serious about hunting with it I highly suggest that you go with the 180gr Gold Dot or Deep Curl bullets. Either can be driven to top end velocity and will expand readily and penetrate deep.
I've used the GD's for years out of my 10mm at 1350fps and they have had no issues dropping most of the feral hogs I put them to task on. Here is a few from my 10,
The little one in the middle, caught an exiting slug to the head, from the blond one beside it.
If your going with factory loads steer clear of the Golden Sabers. They shoot awesome, but penetration is very lacking IMO. I picked up a few hundred when they cam out and man did they shoot. The first time in the woods with them I put two just below the ear on a boar and all he did was grunt, growl, and leave with the dogs in chase. Both impacted with an inch of each other and stopped against the skull. I've never had a GD do that, they roll back and punch a hole in everything I shoot them at.
One factory HP I really liked is the Winchester 180gr load. Their HP is very similar to what I get with the GD, nice penetration and good expansion. Finding any however will be the issue.
Another one I had great luck with is the PMC Starfire. Those things are viscous. I put one just behind the leg on a 200# sow, it exited through the offside shoulder and 20yds behind that one double lunged a second sow of roughly 100#. Both had very extensive internal damage and a nice 1' or so hole in both sides.
If your loading your own, it is hard to beat AA-9 and 180gr bullets. Get all the barrel you can, and go for it. It's a hoot.

I carry a model 20 Glock for a side arm while hunting. I have four different 44 Mags I could carry, two with 4" barrels and two with 6" barrels. I don't particularly like Glocks but I do like the fact they hold more than 6 or 7 rounds in the magazine, and that magazines are faster to swap, and easier to carry than speed loaders are to use. I have two after market barrels for my Glock, one is a 40 S&W Barrel, the other is a 10 MM barrel which is an inch longer than the factory barrel and is ported. I have a S&W 610 revolver and a Springfield Target Omega that are both 10 MM, but I consider a Glock the best bet, even when I don't like them. They shoot well, are reliable, and better to handle in extremely cold weather.

December 15, 2013, 08:56 PM
Thanks guys. I figured it would work just fine but I personally don't know anyone that uses a 10 so I just didn't know if maybe it was one of them rounds that seem like a good idea but just don't work. I know its ballisticly vary similar to the .357 and ive seen my father drop several deer with his long barrel 686 stainless. Thanks again

From what I've seen online the steel frame guns will crack after a while due to the thump of that round but the plastic will flex and absorb it.
Hmmm...I have read about EAA 10mms slides cracking, but that is all.
I own a 1911 10mm, and have read up a fair bit on them. Never heard of cracked frames on a 10mm 1911...
And an EAA is not a 1911....

Not on current EAAs, and are we really going to say that plastic is stronger than a proper steel gun? Let's not go there:) The original Colt Delta Elite 10mm had its share of cracked slides with hot ammo as well.
Regarding the slide buckling, that was an older issue traced to some slides that were improperly hardened. I have a 10mm Elite Match. Handles doubletap 10mm loads like a champ. It is one of the more overbuilt guns I have ever shot. Shooting it side by side to a Glock, I would pick the Elite Match every time for accuracy, comfort, and trigger pull. The only issue I've had is needing to replace the trigger pin, which was undersized when I purchased the weapon.
EAA's service is abyssmal however, so they haven't made any effort to clean up their reputation online...which is why you still are reading about all the mistakes they've made in the past. For a company making a great firearm for the money, they really don't seem to invest that much in customer service.
December 17, 2013, 11:19 AM
There is another factor here and that's weight and size. My G20 is much easier to lug around all day as a woods side arm compared to my 41 Mag Blackhawk or M57. Size and weight are a huge advantage with the Glock plus 15+1 isn't shabby at all.
I've got mine loaded with 200gr XTP behind a healthy dose of Longshot for a velocity of 1100-1150 depending on temp. That's plenty for Ga deer/hogs/2 legged critters.....
December 17, 2013, 10:20 PM
I've had my Glock 20 for about 6 years now. I put in a Wolf spring kit because I was making warm loads for it. If you are a reloader, Blue Dot is a real good powder for it. If you aren't a reloader, McNett's Double-Tap ammo is the finest I've ever used for the 10mm. Quality all the way. I feel very confident carrying it when fishing along the river banks and sloughs here in East Texas. Never know what can happen and it's best to be prepared. Years ago I had an incident in San Diego, CA. when a "motorist" came down a steep embankment carrying an empty gas can. I was fishing in the All American Canal. He was tatted-up with guntower and spider web tat's which appeared to be jailhouse in quality, and most likely he was up to no good. But once he saw my S&W Model 29 strapped on my hip, he did a double-take and went back up the hill rather quickly.
I don't shoot my 10mm often as I would like but I have always been able to handle the recoil and shoot it very well. I believe it is good deer medicine within 75 yards, and it would certainly kill any mountain lion that would come near you. Good solid choice!
December 17, 2013, 10:43 PM
I've carried my Glock 29 while hunting, but then again, I usually carry that pistol everywhere I go.
I second Blue Dot as a great choice for handloading but I think with the shorter barrel on the 29 800-X is a better choice.
December 18, 2013, 03:39 PM
I'm confident in my G20, at least here in the Midwest.
A 220 gr HC bullet going 1200 fps with 700 ft lbs should work if I do my part.

A welcome email can be a great way to grab customers' attention and let them know what your site is all about, yet not everyone is doing them. By missing this opportunity to sell your business you could miss the chance to gain a mindshare. Here we are going to dissect a few of the best welcome emails from the biggest ecommerce sites.
One word can be used to describe this welcome email, that word is boring. Although the copy is well written it doesn't entice you to read it. All the vital information is there with a link to customer service, but apart from that there is nothing to take you back to the main site. Must try harder.
A bright and colourful email, although the combination of the colours and layout make it look a little cheap. "How to use eBay" is detailed at the top in 3 to-the-point, easy steps. This suits those who open the email but don't plan to spend that much time on it, although it could benefit from some linked words taking you straight to the site. All-in-all it is perfectly average, nothing outstanding.
The Trainline
The layout and colour is perfectly in keeping with the design of the site, making it instantly recognisable. Obvious links take you to your account, the main site and help, there are also links at the top taking you to sister sites such as Eurostar and Hotels. Clear and concise, this email is an example that should be followed.
The social media powerhouse has hit the nail on the head with this welcome email. This email is branded in the Twitter way and has clear and simple steps linked to relevant parts of the site. The user friendly layout of this email will get you started straight away.
John Lewis
The ecommerce giant is the clear winner in this race which nobody knew they were running. It's slick and professional with links in all the right places, a clear tool bar at the top that takes you to each of the different sections, customer services and the ability to email a friend. The copy suits the brand to a tee and directs you to new products, promotions and the catalogue. John Lewis wins.

Cheryl Cole
Cheryl Cole (nee Cheryl Tweedy) may have roots in the world of reality TV, but her selection as a member of the girl group Girls Aloud on the reality TV show Popstars The Rivals was only the beginning. After helping Girls Aloud become one of the most successful pop groups in Britain's history, Cole's fame reached soaring new heights after replacing Sharon Osbourne as a judge on The X Factor. With a booming solo career, a hit television show and a reputation as one of Britain's most influential style icons, Cole has cemented her spot as the UK's newest national sweetheart. Unfortunately, life isn't all roses for the stone-cold stunner; her fairytale marriage to Chelsea left back Ashley Cole came to a tumultuous end thanks to his alleged Tiger Woodsian behavior. Cheryl Cole also made headlines stateside, when she was hired and soon after fired as a judge on the U.S. version of The X Factor.
AppealBritain is teeming with some of the most beautiful women in the world. From the busty bombshells that dot The Sun's infamous Page 3, to the edgy fashionistas that formulate Britain's massive pop music landscape, there's no shortage of eye candy in Old Blighty. But Cheryl Cole is perhaps the fairest maiden in all the land, blending sultry model looks with a girl-next-door sensibility that makes her seem accessible, even though she is so, so not. We placed her No. 6 in our Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2011 and No. 8 the year before. So we can't imagine she'll be going anywhere any time soon. And apparently we're not alone in that sentiment. After being named the "Sexiest Woman in the World" two years in a row by FHM readers from all around the world, she was named No. 12 in 2011.
SuccessPop groups that have come together as a result of a reality television competition have never fared well when released out into the wild. That is until Cheryl Cole and her four fellow victors of Popstars: The Rivals formed the group Girls Aloud and released their debut album, Sound of The Underground, proving all the cynics wrong. They went on to churn out hit after hit with 20 singles charting in the top 10, two No. 1 albums and £25 million earned, making them the most successful reality television group of all time. Cole's solo career has reached similar heights, with her debut album 3 Words having spent two weeks at the top of the UK charts. Her single "Fight For This Love" became the fourth fastest-selling single of 2009, while "Parachute," the album's third and final single became Cole's third consecutive solo UK top 5 hit.
But Cole's real breakthrough came when Simon Cowell personally selected her to replace Sharon Osbourne as a judge for the fifth season of The X Factor. After her contestants won both seasons in which she appeared, the prickly Cowell called her "One of the best I've ever worked with." She returned for seventh season in 2010 to mentor the girls category. Cole quickly became one of the most famous women in the UK, appearing on the cover of British Vogue, Elle UK and becoming the new face of L'Oreal.
Since becoming a judge on The X Factor, Cole has released a second and third solo albums, Messy Little Raindrops (2010) and A Million Lights (2012). Singles "Promise This" and "Call My Name" became her second and third No. 1 hits in the UK. Not bad for a poor girl from Newcastle.

These devices can be used safely where magnetic fields are not tolerated.
Coaxial electric heaters have been conceived for use in highly sensitive instruments in which there are requirements for compact heaters but stray magnetic fields associated with heater electric currents would adversely affect operation. Such instruments include atomic clocks and magnetometers that utilize heated atomic-sample cells, wherein stray magnetic fields at picotesla levels could introduce systematic errors into instrument readings.
The resistance of the graphite film can be tailored via its thickness. Alternatively, the film can be made from an electrically conductive paint, other than a colloidal graphite emulsion, chosen to impart the desired resistance. Yet another alternative is to tailor the resistance of a graphite film by exploiting the fact that its resistance can be changed permanently within about 10 percent by heating it to a temperature above 300 °C. Figure 2 depicts a coaxial heater, with electrical leads attached, that has been bent into an almost full circle for edge heating of a circular window. (In the specific application, there is a requirement for a heated cell window, through which an optical beam enters the cell.)
This work was done by Dmitry Strekalov, Andrey Matsko, Anatoliy Savchenkov, and Lute Maleki of Caltech for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
