"Lori's" son is 31 years old. He is back living with "Lori" and her husband after being in his own apartment for about nine months.
He's back this time, against her better judgment, after losing another job. Her son, her middle child, has almost always had difficulties, from learning problems in school starting in middle school to personality and behavior issues in his later teens. He started drinking heavily in high school, got into drugs, including heroin, and has a lengthy track record with the legal system.
Lori and her husband have struggled with him, with his siblings and, lately, with each other. They have spent thousands of dollars on treatment centers and therapy and will tell you they would spend their last dime if they thought it would help. They have read books, called experts, called the cops, practiced tough love (sometimes), let him back in, kicked him out, forgiven him, yelled at him. They're exhausted.
"Lori" has felt very alone. She hasn't been able to talk much to her family because they don't understand her back-and-forth attitude toward him. She's been angry and kicked him out then let him back in so many times that nobody wants to hear it anymore. Her husband only seems to get mad about their son. He rants and raves and then lets him off the hook or refuses to talk to him, basically solving nothing. The truth is, he misses his boy and what he could have been. The sadness is overwhelming for him.
"Lori" and her husband are far from alone. Their son has a mental illness for which he is supposed to take medication but only occasionally does, and an addiction to opiates and other drugs that steers him to criminal behavior. He isn't a violent guy and never intends to hurt anyone, but he is handicapped in a way that is hard to see and harder to understand and treat. To treat him, his parents have to have treatment, too.
"Lori" finally stumbled across a group of parents with similar issues; adult kids with mental health or substance abuse problems still living in and out of their parents' houses, draining their resources and making a mockery of what "Lori" and her husband thought would be a normal family life.
To "Lori's" surprise, some of these parents seemed to have found some answers, and she also found a place where she could say all the things that she couldn't say elsewhere. In addition, some parents were in recovery from their own addiction problems, attending Al Anon and doing other things to help themselves.
These parents all deeply loved their kids but allowed themselves to feel all the other painful things that go with mental health and addictive disease.
"Lori" began to learn how to stay out of the drama, respond rather than react, lovingly allow life to run its course for her son, and slowly come to accept his illness and her disappointment and sadness.
For information about resources for parents, contact me through our website at northwestcommunitycounseling.com.

MouCo Cheese slowly ferments growth
- published_in
- Mercury 100
MouCo's sales nearly doubled in 2011 to $486,000 after co-owners Robert Poland and Birgit Halbreiter ramped up distribution nationwide. That was good enough to put MouCo in the top spot on this year's Mercury 100 among companies with revenues of $1.39 million or less.
MouCo specializes in soft, ripened cheeses, including brie, camembert and trufello, a camembert with black and white truffles in it.
The couple started the company in 1999, after Poland and Halbreiter left New Belgium Brewing Co. in Fort Collins, makers of Fat Tire and other beers, and moved into producing cheese, a realm where they felt there was more potential for a startup.
Reflecting the realities of a smaller business, Poland credits the company's sales growth over the past year in part to the fact that their youngest child started school. That gave Halbreiter more time to devote to marketing. The couple also hired another employee to help with sales.
"We're doing more product demos, especially with breweries, and one of our distributors picked up the Whole Foods business in the Rocky Mountain region," he said.
Poland and Halbreiter met in 1992 at a conference on beer brewing while Halbreiter was working for Molson Breweries in Canada. Poland, a Boulder native, was working at New Belgium at the time.
Brewing and cheese-making are apparently similar, in the sense that both are produced through fermentation.
"What we do is completely biological in nature, using cultures and organisms to create aroma, texture and flavor," Poland said. "Malt sugar is fermented into beer and into cheese by the same process.
"It's an art form that's been passed down from generation to generation."
The generational angle played a part in the company's founding. Halbreiter's father was an artisan cheese maker in Germany and came to Fort Collins to advise the couple as the business evolved.
"Over the years, he would come out to help for a few months at a time." Poland said. "Over that time my German and cheese-making got better."
The milk used to produce its cheese comes from a single dairy eight miles from the MouCo plant.
"We primarily use just one dairy for consistency," Poland said. "The milk is good and they treat the animals nice."
The couple bought their own refrigerated milk truck – they call it "Chuck the Truck" – and haul the milk from the dairy to the plant themselves.
Even more challenging than making the cheese was setting up a distribution network.
The couple discovered they sold a lot more cheese through small gourmet shops than they did through larger grocery stores. The shops were better able to explain the advantages, such as taste and freshness, of their more-expensive product.
MouCo's cheese is wrapped in a special paper made in France that allows air to come in contact with the cheese, softening it gradually as it sits in the refrigerator.
MouCo sells about 70 percent of its cheese to restaurants and resorts.
"A lot of the soft cheeses have been styled to get a lot of shelf life. The (big) producers vacuum-pack them and they lose some of the subtle complexity," Poland said. "Restaurants and resorts want the exclusive products that we produce."
Packaging, of course, also helps set apart their product.
"You can see our packages from across the room because of the kind of foil we use," Poland said. "It's a 'wow product,' something that people can fall in love with."
MouCo apparently has distinguished itself in one other way.
The company uses special reusable containers to ship its cheese via FedEx that customers then ship back to MouCo.
The environmentally friendly containers caught the attention of Rachel Cohn, of Tomales Bay Foods of Petaluma, Calif., which distributes MouCo cheese in the Northern California market.
"Shipping boxes and shipping materials are really expensive," she said. "Unless a box has seen a lot of damage, these boxes have much more life in them and Robert has been an innovator in developing and promoting their reuse."
Cohn said most of the MouCo cheese she sells goes to restaurants, a growth business in the wine-growing areas of Napa and Sonoma counties.
"His cheeses are small with a lot of rind which are really perfect for cheese plates," she said. "We don't get that much cheese from Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region, so it's lovely to have something from there."

Victorian Lace Inn, a colonial revival Cape May Bed and Breakfast Inn, is recognized as being one of the premier Cape May New Jersey lodging properties.
Built in 1869, the award-winning Victorian Lace Inn Bed and Breakfast of Cape May, NJ welcomes visitors (of all ages) year-round. The Victorian Lace Inn is a wonderful choice for guests looking for a weekend getaway or a week-long retreat at a Cape May B&B.
The Inn, located just one short block from the beach, is a perfect home base for discovering all of the charms of Cape May New Jersey. The Inn has been a tradition for so many family vacations, romantic and girlfriends getaways. Our accommodations are also very popular for honeymoons!
In the morning, enjoy a full breakfast in the dining room in the cooler months, and on the wrap-around porches when it's warm. Beautiful ocean views from this verandah make it a perfect spot to relax and forget what it was like to be stressed!
The style of our inn is casual, and so is the atmosphere. We provide many amenities to make your stay worry-free and your experience of Cape May memorable.
Picturesque and peaceful, Cape May is known for many things...it's "The Resort for All Seasons," and one of few places in the country where the entire city has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. Just recently, Forbes Traveler named Cape May as one of the "20 Prettiest Towns in America." That our beaches have also been named in a number of "Top 10" lists is not surprising either!
Cape May has much to offer, so there are lots of options to complete the experience. In addition to the beautiful Victorian homes and expansive beaches, Cape May has restaurants of all types. It's no wonder we are known as "The Restaurant Capitol of New Jersey."
Cape May events like the Cape May Music Festival, Cape May Jazz Festival, and year-round theater with Cape May Stage and the East Lynne Theater Company make this a vibrant place to visit year-round.
Victorian Lace Inn offers fishing excursions and boating, whale-watching, parasailing, golf and tennis and we're happy to make these arrangements for you. And if you're looking for tours, museums, events and activities, the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts offers endless activities for enjoying Cape May. A carriage ride throughout the Cape May historic district is also a wonderful way to enjoy the sites and learn a little history!
One of the interesting facts that visitors may not know about Victorian Cape May, is that unlike beach towns to our north, Cape May was once part of the mainland before the canal was dug in 1942. That means our island is primarily soil. You can walk off the Cape May beaches right into town and enjoy the lush gardens and walk in the shade of 300 year-old sycamores tree-lined streets.
Cape May, New Jersey is also the premier birding destination in New Jersey and North America...a rest stop for hundreds of species of migratory birds. Because Cape May is at the confluence of the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, the birds find protected wetlands and shelter, food and water.
You will find so much to do in Cape May, whether just strolling our hamlet, riding bikes around the island, kayaking in the back bays, or heading off-island to explore places like the (fabulous) Cape May County Zoo, Historic Cold Spring Village, local wineries, or take the Cape May-Lewes Ferry across the bay to shop at the tax-free outlets in Delaware.
Whatever your plans, whatever you're seeking, it's probably right here in Cape May. We invite you to visit our extraordinary island and stay at the Victorian Lace Inn in one of our comfortable suites or cozy cottage. Please take a moment to view our accommodations and visit our photo gallery to see the many unique architectural features of our Cape May Bed and Breakfast inn and property!
There is always something afoot at the Victorian Lace Inn...
Family Reunions
and celebrations of every kind, plus workshops and retreats, tours and tastings.

"Intelligent decisions are made after evaluating the facts," he said. "Emergencies create an emotional environment that thwarts clear and decisive action."
Finally, he also recommends not limiting your comparisons to the phone or the Internet. Torbjornsen said you should be sure to visit a shop in person before making your final choice.
This will allow you to not only size up the people you will be trusting your car to, but also to look at the certifications they have hanging on the wall, talk to current customers and see what the shop itself looks like.

Orlando D. Montán is Director of Business Development for ARAMARK Education, a position he has held since March, 2010. In this role, Orlando will work closely with regional executive leaders and directors in creating and implementing the sales processes, and aligning with regional operational goals to forge and lead relationships that will drive and deliver successful sales results while creating solutions for our clients. In 2012, with the help of the support and operations teams, Orlando lead the sales process in helping the ARAMARK Education Organization add seven (7) new accounts to our existing portfolio in Texas. This accounted for an additional $4M worth of revenue.
Mr. Montán was previously a Program Director with New America Alliance (NAA). The NAA connects and engages with thought leaders and influencers in Corporate America, Government, Academia, and Philanthropy. The NAA's goal is to build long-term relationships and leverage partnerships to benefit American Latinos. As the voice of U.S. Latino business leadership, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy the NAA uses their influence to advocate for their initiatives. They initiate dialogue, raise awareness and generate solutions to issues their membership is uniquely positioned to address.
The former Director of Verizon's Multilingual, Verizon Plus and Channel Back office Operations Center (CBOC) Staff Support Organization, he was well known for exercising two of his strongest skills: building organizations and developing talent.
Orlando balanced responsibilities for Sales, Marketing, Systems, Methods and Procedures Support to drive increased sales and improved end-to-end process improvements within the Multilingual Call Centers and the Verizon Plus Retail Stores. Previously, Orlando directed the Fiber Solution Center in California which provided support services to customers who subscribed to Verizon's fiber optic service as well as provided technical assistance to technicians who installed and maintained the fiber network. Earlier in his career, Orlando directed the Customer Relations Organization which was responsible for investigating and resolving all customer complaints. In this highly visible post, he developed the processes, standards, and measurements to ensure that complaints were properly evaluated, resolved and met compliance with all legal and regulatory standards.
Mr. Montán joined NYNEX in 1996 as a sourcing process leader in the Corporate Sourcing group. He later served as Senior Specialist in Network Services and as an Area Operations Manager in Wholesale Markets. Then he went on to serve as Director for the Regional CLEC Coordination Center.
With Dominican heritage, Orlando is a firm believer in giving back to his community. He is a prominent figure within the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) where he is an active mentor. Notably, he began his career in SHPE at SUNY Stony Brook where he was founder of the school's chapter. He later became President of the New York City Professional Chapter. He then became the Co-Chair of the SHPE Eastern Technical & Career Conference. He has also played an instrumental role in organizing and managing the partnership that Verizon has with SHPE. Orlando also worked closely with the Hispanic Support Organization at Verizon.
Orlando is a past recipient of the President's Club, Leaders in Excellence Award for Community Service; SHPE Pioneer Award and Lifetime Achievement Award; a Hispanic Corporate Achiever and received the Dominico American Society Business Award for his Corporate commitment and dedication. In addition, he was selected as the 2003 Career FOCUS Eagle Award winner. The Eagle Award salutes executives who exemplify and practice principled leadership in both their corporate and community involvements. Most recently, Mr. Montán received SHPE's highest recognition – The Jaime Oaxaca Award.
Orlando was awarded a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from the State University of New York, Stony Brook. He resides in Flower Mound, Texas with his wife and two daughters.
I am excited to be part of the HSF family, this is a great opportunity to give back and to ensure that all Hispanic students can pursue a college degree. I strive to live by this statement, "To Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Expected".

Police say the accident happened around 12:30 a.m. Monday at the intersection of State Highway 72 West and FM 1145, just outside the Kenedy city limits.
An 18-wheeler was turning onto FM 1145 from State Highway 72 West and a motorcyclist was following the 18-wheeler. The motorcycle went down on its side, according to information from police.
A Honda Accord with four men inside, which was traveling behind the motorcycle, collided with the back end of the 18-wheeler. Three of the men died on impact and the fourth died at the scene while in the ambulance.
Police say the four men who died in the crash were not local residents.
The truck driver and motorcyclist were not seriously injured as a result of the crash.
The DPS trooper who investigated told a reporter with a San Antonio TV station that the car and motorcycle were traveling together and had allegedly just left a bar. He said that alcohol might have played a part in the accident.
More information on this story will be posted as it becomes available.

A 58-year-old Puna woman remains in custody after Big Island police discovered more than a pound of black tar heroin in her Orchidlands home last week on Thursday.
Cathrine R. Kessaris was charged Friday with promoting a dangerous drug, drug paraphernalia and owning prohibited weapons. Her bail was set at $1 million, which means she's unlikely to be released as investigators continue to build their case.
Lt. Burt Shimabukuro of the Hawaii County Police Department's Vice Section said there was enough evidence recovered from Kessaris' home at 16-314 Melekule Street to charge her with intent to distribute.
"We recovered a scale, packaging materials and two firearms, along with some cash," said Shimabukuro.
According to court records, Kessaris has two prior felony convictions for drug trafficking in Honolulu in 1989. A spokesman for the Honolulu prosecuting attorney could not say what type of drugs were found in Kessaris' possession, since the records are more than two decades old.
Kessaris' 79-year-old mother, Patsy Knapp, spoke to KITV4 by phone from her home in Temecula, California. She said her daughter was currently taking methadone, a common treatment for people addicted to heroin.
"I'm really kind of shaken up about it," Knapp said of her daughter's arrest.
According to Heather Lusk, the director of a statewide needle exchange program called the CHOW Project, it appears heroin use in Hawaii is on the rise.
In 2010, the Community Health Outreach Work to Prevent HIV/AIDS program, collected and distributed 560,000 syringes. In 2011, the number of syringes rose to 601,000, a 7.3 percent increase from the year before.
"So we're seeing more people come to us and more needles getting exchanged through our services," said Lusk.
The CHOW Project also helps connect heroin addicts with drug treatment programs. Lusk said the number of people seeking such services has also gone up.
"We get them in the next day into methadone treatment, and those numbers or requests have increased dramatically," she said.
Lusk said some heroin users can lead seemingly normal lives while never being detected by colleagues, neighbors or friends.
"People would be very surprised at what we call our functional users," said Lusk. "For example, we have a police officer, a lawyer or different folks that use, but are able to kind of manage their day-to-day responsibilities and go to work."
Kessaris' next scheduled court hearing is May 29 before Judge Glenn Hara of the Third Circuit Court. Arrest records show Kessaris is unemployed.

Hello! My baby is 13 months old and we are now only nursing in the evening/night/morning. My milk supply has adjusted to this and all was going well, except two days ago it was painful during nursing and I found 2 milk blisters. I can't recall every having problems on this breast before. Yesterday I sterilized a needle and cleared out one of the blisters. I was able to hand express the clogged ducts, which brought a lot of relief to the breast. I also did a dream feed to help empty the breast, but nursing has still been painful the last 4 feeds. I don't feel any significant lumps in my breast, it's just that my nipple is sore. It doesn't help that I've been trying to pick at it to re-open the milk blisters and I'm probably not hand-expressing correctly, so my breast doesn't feel that good, especially hanging out inside my bra (which I need to wear at work).
Is there anything I should be doing differently? It's been awhile since I've had a milk blister and I don't recall it still being painful after I was able to unclog it.

Company Official: 150 Civilian Jobs Leaving Fort Drum
A military contractor will be losing 150 jobs based at Fort Drum because of "reduced need," according to a company official.
The DynCorp International official, Ashley Burke, said in an email to 7 News "the reduced need from our customer unfortunately impacts approximately 150 personnel..."
Burke's comments appeared to be the definitive answer that the cuts are certain.
Earlier, a local DynCorp official suggested the cuts were likely, but not a sure thing, and were tied to the process of budget 'sequestration' playing out now in Washington.
Budget sequestration is the cutting of hundreds of billions of dollars from the Department of Defense budget that is due to take place starting March 1.
Burke's comments are in agreement with comments from a union oifficial - and with emails received by 7 News - who said the company had presented the layoffs Friday as definitely occuring.
Affected would be people who work on what's called the RESET program. That's where Blackhawk helicopters coming back from overseas get taken apart, fixed up and put back together.
Brian Gagnon is president of the Local Lodge 2920 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
He said employees of DynCorp International were informed by company officials Friday that the cuts would start in April.
The loss will be gradual, but the workforce is expected to drop from 220 to 70 people by mid-summer.
Gagnon said the work is moving to Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Campbell in Kentucky.
Gagnon said the loss of jobs is important, but no one seems to be doing anything about it.
"Right now all I hear talk about is immigration. And this is so real of people losing so many jobs, I mean this is country-wide. This isn't just Fort Drum."
"I really don't know much about politics," he said, "but I will say that there are real people and real lives and a lot of things at stake."
He described the jobs as "good paying." He said the workers are highly skilled, but those skills are specialized, and the workers may find it difficult to find comparable jobs locally.
In the email, Burke notes "We look forward to continuing to provide other support activities at Fort Drum, including the maintenance and modification of aircraft."

The renowned research excellence of Einstein's faculty can sometimes extend to the undergraduate students who participate in the College of Medicine's Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP), as David Gaita recently learned. Mr. Gaita was among the 50 college students who took part in SURP this past summer.
Working in the laboratory of Dr. Linda Jelicks, Mr. Gaita had the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research using resources in Einstein's MicroPET Core Facility. His studies resulted in an award-winning image at the 2012 World Molecular Imaging Conference, held in Dublin, Ireland.
Along with his mentors, Dr. Jelicks and Wade Koba, Mr. Gaita won the "Novel Application Image of the Year category of the Siemens Preclinical Image of the Year contest. The competition recognizes and showcases images acquired as part of cutting-edge preclinical research using Siemens imaging systems.
For his summer research project, Mr. Gaita tested the feasibility of utilizing a widely used medical radioisotope, Technetium-99m (Tc-99m-MAA), to image the live goldfish brain. The experiment was conducted using a novel device that immobilizes aquatic animals in their natural environment. The device was specially designed and constructed by Mr. Koba, who is operations manager of the MicroPET facility, along with faculty member Dr. Eugene Fine. (Einstein has filed a patent application related to this research, which is available for licensing.) Results from the experiment demonstrated the ability to obtain repeated imaging without harm to the fish.
The award-winning image showed that, following injection into the tail vein, Tc-99m-MAA readily localizes to the gills, brain, and an air-breathing cavity called the suprabranchial chamber of the goldfish.
"This research has laid the groundwork for the possibility of live-imaging of conscious zebra fish, a very important biomedical research animal model used in such diverse fields as genetics, developmental biology, cancer, and immunology, noted Dr. Jelicks, who is associate professor of physiology and biophysics.
SURP is offered each summer to undergraduates with a strong background and interest in science an opportunity to conduct research in one of Einstein's many outstanding laboratories.

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Dan Petry had been a member of the Detroit Tigers rotation since 1979, but the club would ship him to the California Angels for outfielder Gary Pettis before the 1988 season, the year of this Topps card. Petry would struggle to a 3-9 mark with a 4.33 ERA in 22 starts with the Angels. He had the final shutout of his career, coming June 10 against Kansas City.

MARTINSBURG – The Eastern Panhandle will have no shortage of choices when it comes to the 2nd Congressional District seat currently occupied by Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., who announced in November that she will run for U.S. Senate.
Matt Dunn, a graduate of Jefferson High School and Shepherd University, is a newcomer to running for office, but no stranger to Capitol Hill. The Jefferson County resident has announced he will seek the Democratic bid in 2014.
An attorney at Patton Boggs, a Congressional advocacy lawfirm in Washington, Dunn, 31, has worked in D.C. for the past five years. From working on financial services and regulations, to serving as legislative counsel for the U.S. Senate agricultural committee, Dunn said he has seen firsthand the issues the nation's lawmakers have created.
"The system's (broken)," Dunn said. "Congress has literally put our nation at risk and hurt our own country, because it can't get together and come to a consensus."
A proponent of campaign finance reform and reinstating a state's ability to impose term limits, Dunn said those are key legislative reforms that will allow the country to make progress.
"We can't even get true campaign finance reform on the floor for debate, because the Supreme Court has ruled that most of the items that Congress has come up with are unconstitutional," Dunn said." The states also used to be able to impose term limits on their elected officials who represent in Senate or Congress. I'm not saying that's the right answer, but (it) at least needs to be on the table again."
Veterans issues hit close to home for Dunn, whose older brother served in Afghanistan and two close friends served in Iraq. Dunn said veteran suicide rates should be discussed more, as well as solution to help those returning from combat cope with reentry into civilian life.
Assisting veterans in finding jobs upon their return, as well as making it easier to transfer service training to certification, plays an integral role in that, Dunn said.
"You are a medic in the Army," Dunn said. "You can treat a high-caliber bullet chest wound to your comrade in the field, but you can't come home and then be a school nurse, because you haven't gone through all of the certification loops that you need to when you get back stateside."
"They've already served our country. We should make it as easy as possible for them to integrate back into society," Dunn said.
Developing a comprehensive energy policy, as well as focusing on facilitating the production and research of energy in West Virginia are also top priorities for Dunn.
"More needs to be done in our state so that fracking is done in a regulated way, but is still allowed to take place," Dunn said. "(More should be done) to bring the facilities and secondary value-added services and industry that comes along with it to insure that we're not just employing people to extract resources."
Quality infrastructure is key in making the state ideal for the energy industry, Dunn said.
"To get those corporations here, more needs to be invested in infrastructure, pipelines, telecommunications … here in West Virginia," Dunn said. "When they're shopping for regions to put their facilities in, … West Virginia (should be) on the top of that list."
A campaign kick-off and meet-and-greet will be held Saturday, April 13, at 6 p.m. at 284 Edgewood School Road, Dunn's Shenandoah Junction home. For more information about the event, email email@example.com.

Active managers face squeeze in pensions review
A government adviser working on a value-for-money review of the UK Local Government Pension Scheme has questioned the value of active fund management – potentially opening the way for a big cut in the £109 billion of funds actively managed.
Consultancy Hymans Robertson was commissioned by the UK government to identify cost savings for the £171 billion of assets in local government pension funds last year. Its proposals will be incorporated in an advisory report, "The Future Structure of the Local Government Pension Scheme", due to be published next month.
Linda Selman, head of LGPS investments at Hymans Robertson, told Financial News that the value of active fund management was questionable. She said: "In aggregate, active managers cannot beat the market because of the additional costs."
Selman conceded that active strategies had a place but should be used selectively because fees and transaction costs are higher and "erode returns to investors".
At present, the LGPS has 75% of its assets, worth £109 billion, under active management, according to Hymans Robertson. The LGPS comprises 89 funds, collectively the biggest pension fund in the UK and fourth largest in the world.
Hymans' website described its submission as an "initial assessment of the options", including the consultancy's research and analysis on dealing with deficits, investment management costs and investment performance.
Responding to the assessment, Paul Sweeting, European head of strategy at JP Morgan Asset Management, said: "Active management can provide superior returns. This is particularly true when correlations between stock returns are low, and in less efficient markets."
Andrew Kirton, head of investment consulting and European investment leader at Mercer, added that if assets on that scale were pooled, switching to passive management would not necessarily deliver significant savings because there is little margin for passive fund fees to be trimmed when assets increase considerably.
However, he said passive managers might offer local authorities special terms.

Frankfort, KY (February 12, 2013) – The echoes of a choir singing "Yes You Can" said it all at a Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) Super Sunday press event today at the Capitol. Super Sunday is an annual student recruitment initiative specifically targeting African-American students and their families. On February 24, KCTCS and each of its 16 colleges will partner with African-American churches in their communities to host information fairs for prospective college students and their families.
"As a former mayor and now as Lt. Governor, I share your desire to promote higher education around the state, more importantly to encourage early planning for college with the involvement of parents and community leaders," said Lt. Gov. Jerry Abramson.
In addition to the Lieutenant Governor, the event was attended by KCTCS President Michael B. McCall, KCTCS Board of Regents Chair P.G. Peeples and representatives from all of the 16 colleges, including outstanding African-American alumni named to the Super Sunday Hall of Fame. Also in attendance were state legislators, community leaders and pastors from several of the participating churches.
"KCTCS has a strong commitment to diversity and ensuring every citizen in this state has the educational opportunities they need to succeed. As a system of open access institutions, it is our responsibility to make everyone aware a college education is within their reach," said Dr. McCall.
On Super Sunday, more than 5,000 prospective college students and their families are expected to attend the statewide college fairs sponsored by KCTCS and its 16 colleges. Many will take place at African-American churches and the church service will be followed by a college fair with college representatives on hand as advocates to assist with admissions and financial aid information.
"Attending college and obtaining a degree put me on the path to success and it can do the same for other minorities," said KCTCS Board of Regents Chair and Hall of Fame Alumnus P.G. Peeples. "Students need on-going information, support and guidance prior to college, as well as each step along their educational journey."
Higher education begins at KCTCS for most Kentuckians, and so it is a vital part of the KCTCS mission to increase the educational opportunities for people of color, including African-Americans and Latinos. Super Sunday is a statewide initiative intended to increase the college-going rate of students of color.
This event is patterned after a highly successful program at California State University, now in its seventh year, that is credited with substantially increasing the college-going rate of African-American students in California.

Have any financial advice for Lenny Dykstra? LOL.
Mick G.
Ft. Wayne, IN
You know Mick, that's a really good question. And to tell you the truth, yeah, I do have some advice for Lenny. But before we get to that, let me point something out. You would have to be crazy to take any kind of financial advice from us so who in their right mind gets it from a guy like Lenny Dykstra? That's like taking diet advice from John Kruk.
But, despite the sad truth in that statement, Lenny thought he heard a voice crying out for advice a couple years ago and answered by launching a magazine. Not just any magazine, either. Seemingly inspired by Ice Cube's 1998 film classic, Dykstra decided to call his rag "The Player's Club," an interesting name for a magazine purporting to dispense financial advice to professional athletes.
So, how did that work out? Let's turn to AdWeek for an initial assessment: "Heading into a recession, with print advertising nearly universally in the toilet, it's an interesting time to start a magazine." Hm, that doesn't sound promising.
But hey, who knows. Maybe it got off to a fast start and then picked up steam. What do you think, Forbes? "By the time the first issue hit clubhouses and locker rooms, Dykstra was already in litigation with Doubledown, suing for breach of contract after the company withheld the second issue for lack of payments." Oh boy. That doesn't sound good.
It's still possible that it got better after a rocky start, right? Take it away, Deadspin: "Dykstra recently used his mother's credit card to charge $23,000 to order to charter a plane ride back to his home in California from Cleveland. She has not been paid back." Ouch, Lenny. Your own mother?
But even this isn't enough for Mr. Dykstra. There's no way that this is his fault. Not the magazine, not his repossessed private jet. And definitely not his default on a 17.4 million dollar loan used to purchase Wayne Gretzky's house.
How about if we let Jon Stewart explain the situation a little further:
|The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
|Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c
|Lenny Dykstra's Financial Career
I think that pretty much sums it up. So, here's my advice to Lenny. Stop. Just stop. And for the love of god, man, pay your freakin' mother back.

Taking financial advice from any player from the 1986 Mets would prove disastrous. The best part of the story is how Lenny continued to get financed for all his business ventures.
The Three Bs
It's a bit messed up when you owe $31 million and you have $50,000 in assets.
John Stewart singing "Meet the Mets" is worth the price of admission. Loved that. Don't know what to say about Lenny except that he's living in another universe.
I wonder if Citi Group, when they decided to buy the naming rights for Citi Field, also decided to take financial advice from ex-Mets "Glory Years" players like Lenny Dykstra. I'm just saying it could explain what happened to Citi Group in 2008.

There are many books and articles available about Montessori Philosophy. NKMA has a parent library that you are welcome to utilize to better acquaint yourself. Some of the most outstanding features of the philosophy are:
Respect for the child – This includes listening to the child, respecting his/her right to make choices and respecting each child's developmental level and ability.
Freedom within limits – This includes freedom of movement with purpose, free access to activities, freedom to be creative, freedom to work as long as desired and as interest permits, freedom to work with or without others and free use of the teacher as an aid to learning. Consistent reinforcement of basic ground rules of behavior also frees the child from testing social limits.
Respect for others – This includes respecting the teachers, the rights of others, the work of others and the care and respect of the environment and materials, which are shared equally by everyone in the classroom.
Beauty – A child has an innate appreciation for beauty and nature. The classroom epitomizes beauty and appeals to the child's interest with beautiful objects and learning materials.
The child is a spiritual embryo – This is not a religious aspect of Montessori Philosophy, but recognition of the essential nature of the human being. Children deserve to have their innocence guarded and appreciated. When the nature of the child is protected and guided, healthy, well-adjusted adults are the natural result.
Order – The order of a Montessori classroom is most obvious at the visual level. All one has to do is look around the room to see the notable level of order of every material on every shelf. Additionally, consistency is another level of order that is greatly appreciated by the young child. This is why most Montessori schools only permit 5-day-a-week attendance. Two or three day attendance does not appeal to the child of this age. Knowing each weekday is a school day, frees the child from the upset of an inconsistent routine.
Sensitive Periods – This is a term that Maria Montessori used to describe a time during which a child, from age birth to six, experiences a "special sensibility" for learning or acquiring knowledge. When a child is not given the opportunity to act upon these natural directives, the opportunity for that heightened learning is lost. The freedom of a Montessori classroom gives children the opportunity they need to capitalize on their sensitive periods. If a child has a strong interest in Language Arts for example, they are permitted to work in this area. If they are highly interested in Math, this is allowed. A child's age does not determine the work they do, as is the case in most preschool settings.
Movement – Children learn by moving, touching, feeling and utilizing all the senses within their power to use. A Montessori classroom is prepared in such a way to allow for freedom of movement. Activities are designed to aid in mastery of movement.
Multi-culturalism and peace – Children are the leaders of tomorrow. Crucial to their education is the understanding of other cultures. Through knowledge, fear and misunderstanding is eradicated, allowing for the peaceful coexistence of many cultures throughout the world. Our goal is to educate your child to be a respected and respectful citizen of the global community.

Warrington Wizards will face Huddersfield Underbank Rangers in The Co-operative Rugby League Conference National Grand Final at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on Sunday, kick off 12.30pm. The game is part of the Co-operative Finals Day triple header and will be followed by Oldham v York City Knights and then Featherstone Rovers v Halifax RLFC. Tickets for the game are available from the RFL at www.rugbyleaguetickets.co.uk or you can pay on the day although this is not advised as demand is likely to be high.
The Wizards reached their first Grand Final with an excellent win at Bramley and Huddersfield repeated that feat at the weekend by winning 24-12 at the home of the current champions to reach the final for the second successive year having lost to the Buffaloes last season.
Wizards Assistant Coach Mike Grady is looking forward to the game. He said, �It�s a fantastic achievement to reach the final in what has been the most competitive league to date. We are going to enjoy the day and make the most of being in the final. It is going to be a great occasion and I want the players to go out and express themselves in the same way that they have done all season. The game is going to be very close between two teams who have finished the season in great form; you don�t get to Grand Finals if you are a poor side and both of the teams have thoroughly deserved to get there having both won away at Bramley. If we stick to what we do best then I am confident that we will be lifting the trophy at the end of the game.�
Grady, appointed at the beginning of the season to work alongside Head Player/Coach Chris Campbell added, �From a personal point of view I have really enjoyed this season, Chris and myself have worked really well together. I have had a lot of responsibility especially on matchday�s with Chris still being on the pitch and I have loved every minute of it. I just want to put on record my thanks to the Wizards committee Warren, Nikki and Dave Whalley and Andrew Beevers for giving me and Chris the opportunity and supporting us this year and also to the players who have responded so well to us. Now we have to complete the job and get the game won.�

hello all,
my ds who is just over 16 months seems to be attached to the "girls" lately. i am not planning to end my breastfeeding quite yet but he just does not want me out of his sights lately. he bites me when he gets upset that he can't have milk right away and will refuse to eat anything i give him. he will also pull my shirt down whenever he feels like it or if i am carrying him he will reach his hands down my shirt and start pulling at my breast. i want to gradually cut maybe one feeding out in a day but i feel like it is not possible i also do nurse him to sleep as he sleeps in the same bed as my husband and i and it is the only way he will fall asleep . it's just getting a little out of hand with the biting...he's bit me a few times really good within the past couple days. i know he is teething too and he does find the breast comforting but i seem to be spending a lot of time at the couch or sitting with him just so he can suckle at it even if there is no milk. maybe its just me, i feel like i am getting frustrated some days. any advice would be greatly appreciated! thank you.

Christian Craig (59) and Cole Seely (43) lead the Pro class through turn one. Justin Jones (42), Preston Tilford (7), Robert Lind (869), Travis Freistat (534) and Fredrik Noren (11) are in hot pursuit.
With the AMA Nationals just around the corner, the lucky happenstance of REM Motocross' 15th Anniversary at Glen Helen and the fact that Troy Lee races at REM Glen Helen every weekend, the stars aligned to hold a big down home motocross race that would do three things:
(1) It would allow Troy Lee to get his race team of Cole Seely, Christian Craig and Jessy Nelson a true-to-life warm-up race (with 35 minute long motos) against some tough competition on a big, long and rough track.
(2) With a Pro purse, barbecue and Moto Brew sponsorship, it was a way for Troy to hang out with the people he races with every week, bring out his complete team (plus semi truck and mechanics) and give his local racer friends something back. Plus, with it being the 15th Anniversary of Frank and Myra Thomason coming from Carlsbad Raceway to Glen Helen?it was a nice present.
(3) With the World Two-Stroke Championship being held on the USGP track the next day, it shoehorned two special races together at Glen Helen.
This is how close Christian Craig and Cole Seely were all day long.
Troy brought 250 riders Cole Seely and Jessy Nelson along with 450 rider Christian Craig to race. He wanted to give his team a stress test and with the agreement of the 250 riders in the field it was decided to combine both classes into one big Pro free-for-all. That way Troy could see his 250 riders work harder against the 450s?and work they did.
In the end Christian Craig took the overall victory with a 1-1 on his CRF450 National bike, but he didn't get the victory without a major fight from the local Pros and his teammates. With issues on the first lap of moto one, Craig had to work his way up to catch Cole Seely, who was leading on a 250. Once Craig got to Seely and made the pass, Cole latched himself to Christian's rear fender and wouldn't let go. At the end of moto one, Christian Craig held on to win, but if had been a 30 minute plus three lap moto, the outcome might have been different.
Swedish National Champion Fredrick Noren has decided to forego the GP series to seek his fame and fortune in the AMA Nationals in 2013. Mark Chilson
The first Pro moto ended with a trio of white-clad Troy Lee riders on the podium, with Christian Craig first, Cole Seely Second and Jessy Nelson third. Swedish Champion Fredrik Noren was fourth, Brandon Brady fifth, Justin Jones sixth, Kyle Wolack seventh, Preston Tilford eighth, Jake Baumert ninth and Colton Aeck (on a YZ250 two-stroke) tenth.
Looking like a palette of warm tones, Justin Jones wheelies his way to seventh in the 450 Pro class.
In moto two, it was the Craig and Seely show all over again The two Troy Lee riders ran nose-to-tail for the first half of the moto before Christian Craig found some extra energy and opened up a safe gap. At day's end, it was Craig, Seely and Jessy Nelson going 1-1, 2-2 and 3-3. Noren kept the duplicate number string alive with a 4-4, while Brandon Brady went 5-5. Back in the field were two more Swedes, with Marcus Ovegaard (15-15) and Robert Lind (14-7) not making the top ten.
Former top ten AMA 125 National rider Gary Bowman took the Over-50 Expert victory, but it wasn't a sure thing.
No one really understands the fascination that the Over-50 Experts produce at REM, but it is a big class and since it is filled with former Pro riders from the 1980s?it gets people to line the fences when the old dudes are on the track.
Andy Jefferson gets underneath 6D's Bob Weber. Jefferson would finish third and Weber seventh in the Over-50 Expert class.
Gary Bowman, a former 125 National rider who finished 9th overall in the 1984 AMA 125 National Championships (including a podium at the 1984 Saddleback 125 National), got the victory this weekend?but Gary didn't win any motos. His 3-2 got the overall because of crashes by Willy Simons (1-8) and Kevin Foley (8-1). Going into the final few laps of the Over-50 Expert race, Bowman, Ed Foedish and Andy Jefferson were all vying for the win. One pass, one way of the other would have shaken up the podium places. In the end Bowman's 3-2 beat out Foedish's 2-4 and Jefferson's 5-3.
Chuck Sun (21), Jon Ortner (10) and Troy Lee (25) battle in the Over-50 Expert class.
Foley was fourth, Jon Ortner (another unlucky crasher) fifth and Willy Simons sixth. 6D helmet design Bob Weber ran at the front in both motos, but has been spending too much time in the office and not enough at the track as he faded back to a 6-6 day for seventh overall. Former AMA National Champion and MXDN winner Chuck Sun raced a Husqvarna CR125 two-stroke, in preparation for Sunday's Two-Stroke World Championship race, to an amazing 7-7 day against a field of big bikes. Another notable in the Over-50 Expert race was Troy Lee. The man who sponsored the race wanted to win it, but crashes and a stall stopped his run at the front in both motos. Gary Jones, a four-time AMA National Champion (1971-1974), thought he had the energy to race both the Over-60 Experts and the Over-50 Experts. He didn't.
You know you've made it when your local track reserves a special parking spot for you.
Four-time 250 National Champion Gary Jones is still racing 42 years after his first big Championship. To match that feat, Ryan Dungey would have to line up on the starting line in 2052.
Last week Gary Jones tried to win the Over-60 Expert class on a 1974 Yamaha YZ250. His bike was 39 years old, but he managed to get a second overall on it. This week he showed up with a 2006 Yamaha YZ250 two-stroke and easily won both motos. Lyle Sweeter went 2-2 for second, with Hollywood stuntman Mic Rodgers' 3-3 giving him third. Behind the front three was a battle between AMA Hall of Famer Lars Larsson, MXA's Jody Weisel and Ray Pisarski. Whatever move Jody made on Lars he was subject to the same move from behind by Pisarski. In the end, the three crossed the finish line in both motos with Larsson 4-4, Weisel 5-5 and Pisarski 6-6.
Chris Alamangos, meet Adam Waheed.
Muscle and bone, meet the ground.
Believe it or not, both riders claimed the other guy was at fault. You get to be the judge. Crash sequence by Mark Chilson
Over-50 Novice Mitch Evans (4) leads Chuck Freeman (55) and David Spencer (751) through a series of drop-offs. Evans would finish 12th, Spencer 16th and Freeman 18th.
This week the most riders in any single class were the Over-50 Novices. It was so big that a couple riders had to start behind the full gate. Bill Reimer's 1-1 was untouchable as Roy Krull went 3-2 and Ty Larson 4-3. John Estes looked like a potential winner, but backed up his first moto second with a second moto fifth. Some of the moto scores in this class were off the chart. For example Tim Rohan made the top ten overall with a 13-8, while Mitch Evan's 7-21 relegated him to 12th. Greg Robertson scored a 2-10 day for 14th, while Chuck Freeman went 10-22 for 18th.
You don't see two Italian-made TMs at the front of many American races, but Todd Huegel (163) on a 450MX and Ernie Becker (37) on a 144MX two-stroke lead the TM charge in the Vet Novice class. Mark Chilson
Ryan Surratt, son of Wild Willy Surratt, has been tearing up the Intermediate class as of late.
Another big class was the 250 Novice class that was highlighted by an all-out war between Trevor Stewart and Willy Simons Jr. In the end, Stewart's 2-1 took the win over Simon's 1-2. Jake Martineau was third with a 4-3 in front of Ryusei Otsuka's 3-4. Johnny Dezendorf came from Durango, Colorado, for the two-stroke race, but raced to a 5-6 day at REM for fifth.
It isn't always helpful when your friends cheer you on, especially if they block your path to the next turn.
Andy Jefferson is an iconic figure in American motocross. He was the first black motocrosser to ever make a Supercross main event. Today, he works at Husqvarna, but at REM he was wearing his old Zip-Ty Yamaha jersey, which he covered up with duct tape and then wrote "KTM" on it. Meanwhile, he had a Husky in his truck, but raced MXA's KTM 350SXF. Times are a little confusing at Husqvarna right now.
Person of interest: Security cameras in the pits at Glen Helen snapped this photo of a man believed to have stolen the "Motocross Action Parking" sign after the race was over. The L.A. City Council will paid a $1,000,000 reward for information about this man's whereabouts…or maybe they won't.
REM races again next weekend. For more info go to www.remsatmx.com

Inspired by aviation and automotive themes, Kisai Blade features a custom made turbine-style lens beneath which digital tube LEDs rotate like a propellor to display the time in an easy to read way.
Available in a range of colors and with a choice of stainless steel or leather strap, Kisai Blade has two time modes, date mode, alarm, light-up animation and is USB rechargeable.
With blue, green or red LEDs, Kisai Blade is framed by an industrial-looking sandblasted stainless steel case with brushed detail.
Choose from black, silver or gold. There is also a black leather strap option.
There are two time displays programmed into Kisai Blade. Press the upper button to display the time.
Turning Mode
In turning mode, the LED blades spin around the face highlighting three blades in turn which indicate the hour and minutes. It's super easy to follow if you imagine the blades as numbers on a clock.
Flashing Mode
In flashing mode, the LED blades show hours and minutes at a glance. The lit blade indicates the hour, the flashing blade indicates 5 minute groups and four dots indicate exact minutes 1-4.
You can choose your preferred display mode in the settings. View the video demo and Flash manual below to see how easy it is to read the time.
What really brings this watch design to life is its character enhancing animation. When turned on, the vivid LED blades rotate rapidly like a jet engine once every 15 minutes between 6pm and midnight.
The date can be viewed in the same way as the time by pressing the upper button twice. You can choose whether the date is show as DD:MM or MM:DD. The watch also has an alarm mode.
Kisai Blade is USB rechargeable. To recharge, connect to your computer with the USB cable provided. One full charge will take 3.5 hours and each charge should last 1 month.
Kisai Blade has an adjustable strap making it suitable for small and large wrists.
Press the buttons on the interactive Flash manual below to see how Kisai Blade lights up and shows the time:
Kisai Blade is a limited edition design meaning that it is guaranteed to be an original watch that not many other people own.
In February 2010, Tokyoflash Japan opened its Design Studio Blog to showcase concept designs and request ideas for new watch designs from fans. The idea for Kisai Blade was submitted by Peter Fletcher from the UK.
Find out more about the original concept on the Tokyoflash Design Studio Blog.
Blog reader & watch designer Peter Fletcher says:
I have been a fan of design and watches from a very early age, so you can imagine how excited I was when I first stumbled across the blog when looking at Tokyoflash's magical wares on the website.
I had heart palpitations at the very thought of possibly having one of my own designs made, so I started submitting in earnest.
It's fair to say that some of my early designs were a little too conceptual and it took me a while to get a feel for what is actually possible. I have been lucky to have had a few designs considered for development but until this point nothing had gone the distance.
When "Blade" (originally know as "P-Zero") was picked to be developed further I couldn't believe my dream was finally coming true. The concept was developed and elements of another of my designs "Turbine" (a personal favourite of mine) were incorporated, which have taken my original concept to new levels.
I am so pleased with the outcome and want to thank the whole Tokyoflash team for doing such a splendid job! I would also like to thank the fans and the other blog submitters for giving it and me great support.

Francis MacManus Short Story Monday 15 July 2013
Dubliner Chris Connolly has been announced as the first place winner of the 2016 Francis MacManus Short Story Competition. The 33 year old impressed the judges with his submission, The Speed of Light and How It Cannot Help Us. The story explores the complicated nature of unconditional love, in particular the love of a mother for her son, and how far that love can be stretched before it finally reaches breaking point.
Chris Connolly says: "I'm delighted to have won the competition. The Francis MacManus award has been top of my list for some time now, and having been shortlisted twice before it's an amazing feeling to finally win it. I know from previous years how consistently high the standard of the shortlist is, and for my story to be judged as anywhere near the best is a huge validation, and extremely encouraging."
In second place is Lisa Frank's An Spidéal Road, a story that sees a man tormented by a recent breakup travel the vast, narrow roads of Connemara to take back what's his.
In third place, Chalk and Cheese by Mark Evans sees an elderly man wallow in his own company, happy to exist on a diet of Inspector Morse and cheap cheese. But when the supermarket runs out of his favourite food, a good deed from an unexpected source triggers a chain of events.
The Sleeping Giant by Catherine Donnelly was placed fourth and received a special commendation.
The Francis MacManus Competition for original short stories for radio was established in 1986 in memory of the RTÉ Radio broadcaster and novelist Francis MacManus (1909-1965). Since then, it has been a source of encouragement and support for new and emerging writers. Previous winners include Claire Keegan, Ciarán Folan, Ivy Bannister, Nuala Ní Chonchúir and Martin Malone.
The judges for this year's competition were Evelyn Conlon, Mary Morrissy and Declan Meade.
There were over 800 entries for the 2016 competition and from these 24 stories were shortlisted.
All 24 shortlisted stories will be broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1, beginning with Chris Connolly's winning story. The Francis MacManus Short Story Competition broadcasts begin on Monday 3rd October at 11.20pm (in the Book on One slot) and will continue for five weeks.
The full shortlist can be seen on the Francis MacManus website: http://www.rte.ie/radio1/francis-macmanus-short-story/
The author of the overall winning story receives €3,000. Prizes of €2,000 (2nd prize) and €1,000 (3rd prize) are awarded to the authors of the second and third winning stories.
The competition was founded in memory of Francis Mac Manus, the Kilkenny born novelist, biographer and former Head of Talks and Features at Radio Éireann. Since its establishment in 1986, the competition has been a launching pad for several new and emerging writers who have subsequently received national and international acclaim. They include Molly McCloskey, Anthony Glavin, Claire Keegan and Nuala Ní Chonchúir.
The winner of the overall prize will receive €3,000 and prizes of €2,000 and €1,000 will be awarded to the second and third prize winners.
Each of the 25 short-listed stories is recorded being read by a professional reader. The judges listen to these recordings and read the stories to consider their broadcasting and short story qualities before they select the winning entries. The entire shortlist is broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 following the announcement of the competition winners.
The judges for this year are Evelyn Conlon, Declan Meade and Mary Morrissey.

- Abstract
- We present the K-band local luminosity function derived from a sample of 1056 bright (K < 15) K-selected galaxies from the Hawaii+Anglo-Australian Observatory (AAO) K-band redshift survey. The Hawaii+ AAO K-band redshift survey covers four equatorial fields with a total area of 8.22 deg2. We derive both the nonparametric and Schechter luminosity function from our data and determine M*(K) = -23.70 ± 0.08 + 5log10(A), α = -1.37 ± 0.10, and φ* = 0.013 ± 0.003 h 3 Mpc-3 for a universe with Ωm = 0.3 and ΩΛ = 0.7. We also measure the K-band luminosity function for the early- and later type galaxies from our morphologically classified subsample. It appears that later type galaxies have a fainter M* and a steep slope, while early-type galaxies have a much brighter M* and a quite flat slope in their K-band luminosity functions. This is consistent with what has been found in optical-type dependent luminosity function. The K-band luminosity density derived using our luminosity function is now measured at a similar redshift depth to optical luminosity densities in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey redshift survey. It is 2 times higher than the previous measurement from the shallower 2MASS sample and resolves the previously reported discrepancies between optical and near-infrared luminosity densities.

Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I'd figured I'd ask.
Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa?
My site goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours
and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you are interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you!

The Benefits of Online Social Communities over Other Forms of Social Networks
If I asked whether your business was active on social media, you'd probably answer quite quickly with a "yes!" If I asked whether you were seeing the results expected from your investment, I am not too convinced you'd confidently answer another "yes." For many brands, their social media efforts are not providing the results in which they were hoping and many are realising that social...

This is perfect it gets the job done. Im worried about the Bucks guards, i expect them to have a big game tonight.
I actually lost to the Bucks on 2k13. Im still a little salty after my loss, i had a 14 game winning streak. And the way i lost too...128 to 116.
It was like an all star game where Mike O Antoni picked all the players
I almost always hold my opponents under 100 while playing on all star. Ellis and Jennings torched and scorched me
Hopefully we can beat the Bucks up at SF, PF, and C.
Don't worry, Bucks stopped Mavs 13 game winning streak in January 2011, and next Mavs were champions.
w Shump not 100 and Felton not being able to keep his man out of the lane they got the advantage in the backcourt but I like our front court much more
pulling for Indy and Chi tonight
If we can wake up tomorrow morning 3 up on Nets and .5 back of Mia I will be very happy!
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Kologero just posted on another site that he heard a Suns analyst suggest that they trade Telfair and Jared Dudley for Shumpert
Knicks by 8-12 ..Melo scores 30+
Good to see Kidd back in the uniform...
Don't mind this start too much, bit slow offensively but generally we doing alright on the defensive end, which is important.
Iman is afraid to take it to the basket.
Shumpert plays like rookie in offense.
Chandler has to make some blocks, not only stay in defense.

In recent years, after the recession hit advocates say those unemployed on the mainland heard Hawaii's job market was better, moved here, but couldn't make it.
And they say, smaller, cheaper hotels, hostels have all but evaporated -- subtracting an option for temporary housing.
"I think there's a sense of urgency, because the visibility has really increased," said Connie Mitchell, executive director of the Institute of Human Services.
According to the Department of Human Services, there are a total of 4,556 homeless people on Oahu streets.
3091 were sheltered in homeless emergency or transitional shelters and 1,465 were unsheltered -- with beds still available for about a third of that.
"I was a dealer, constantly doing it ice and it's not a good sight on this island," said Tracy Correia, who said she has been clean and sober for several years now.
She says drug addiction is a common reason for rejecting shelters, but said it was a blessing in her journey toward recovery.
Mitchell said their focus is shifting.
"We don't want to make more shelters. We want to get them into permanent homes," she said.
In May, Mayor Kirk Caldwell revealed the city's Homeless Plan.
It weighs heavily on a grant-funded program called Housing First -- which first finds people a place to stay, then offers them services to, hopefully, put them on a better track.
The state just launched a new program called the Homeless Assistance Work Group, to try and break down the problem in each community and create work groups to try to get to know the homeless people in their area.
"With every zip code there will be a known on a registry," said Mitchell.
A state registry is also in the works, to be shared with multiple departments and agencies, for the sake of building consistent data on Hawaii's homeless population.
"We're really focused on employment now," Mitchell said, as she showed KITV reporter Lara Yamada IHS' roof-top work-training garden, that the agency will debut in two weeks.
She said job training is another top priority.
"It is frustrating, but you got to keep going that's the way I look at it," said Correia.
It's a motto for her life and for the entire state, as an unavoidable problem goes under the microscope.
"It can't get worse. We can't let it get worse," said Mitchell.
Another idea: City Council member Ron Menor is proposing a website soliciting specific needs for homeless people in each community.
There's also the idea of a Mental Health Services Action plan to go along with the city's Housing First program.
And, the University of Hawaii architecture students are designing affordable units out of shipping containers.
The state said that project is progressing, but they haven't figured out yet where they might put the units.

Day of Prayer
THERE IS an adage that we have heard many times – "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of."
Across our nation Thursday, The National Day of Prayer Observance takes place, and people of many faiths, colors and ethnic backgrounds will gather in churches, parks, on street corners and on courthouse steps to pray for our nation, its leaders, the media, military, businesses, schools, churches and families. Local celebrations are scheduled throughout Eastern Ohio.
Many times in history, our national leaders have called the people to prayer. We witnessed that when our nation was attacked by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001, and again just a few weeks past at the Boston Marathon.
We need to pray and ask God to help us in our difficulties. We need Him to provide wisdom to those who lead us – to give courage to our armed forces and to those who protect us at home and abroad. We ask Him to give to them strength and hope and inspire us to be a nation at prayer. It is our belief that a nation at prayer will be a nation at peace.
It is also important for us to remember that we must pray every day and not just when we want or need something. When we do pray and get what we ask for, we then tell God "you can go and hide and when we need you again, we will let you know."
We must make God a welcome guest in our homes and in our hearts and everywhere in our beloved America. We must make our family lives strong and the abuse and neglect of our children and the elderly must cease. We must make our homes sanctuaries of love and peace and a place where our children will feel safe and secure. And mom and dad, teach your children to pray and show them by example.
We must never become discouraged when things are going bad because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering, and yes, during times of national strife. We have to take time, get on our knees and ask Him for help.
Remember, no matter how eloquent or simple our words may be, God will hear us. No matter what the season, no matter how many problems and concerns we have, let us be at peace and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations. Let us be grateful for every day of our lives and for our many blessings.
There is still hope for America and the world because there are more people who pray than who do not. There are more good people than bad ones.
We urge everyone to offer your prayers for our country, for peace in our world and for a vibrant and strong economy. And pray not only Thursday, but everyday.
Abraham Lincoln once said, "If we do right, God will be on our side, and if God is with us, we cannot fail."
