Encyclopedia Britannica halts print publication after 244 yearsBy the Branta Webcrawler • Mar 13th, 2012 • Category: Brave New World, Editor's Picks, Essays, From the Interweb, eBook Shelf

The paper edition of the encyclopedia ends its centuries-long run, but is it a victim or beneficiary of the digital age?

Its legacy winds back through centuries and across continents, past the birth of America to the waning days of the Enlightenment. It is a record of humanity's achievements in war and peace, art and science, exploration and discovery. It has been taken to represent the sum of all human knowledge.
And now it's going out of print.
The Encyclopedia Britannica has announced that after 244 years, dozens of editions and more than 7m sets sold, no new editions will be put to paper. The 32 volumes of the 2010 installment, it turns out, were the last. Future editions will live exclusively online.
For some readers the news will provoke malaise at the wayward course of this misguided age. Others will wonder, in the era of Wikipedia, what took the dinosaur so long to die. Neither view quite captures the company or the crossroads.
Jorge Cauz, president of Encyclopedia Britannica, Inc, suggested that the encyclopedia was already something of a relic within the company itself, which has long since moved its main business away from its trademark publication and into online educational tools.
"The company has changed from a reference provider to an instructional solutions provider," Cauz said. He projects that only 15% of the company's revenue this year will come from its namesake publication, mostly through subscriptions and app purchases. "The vast majority" of the remaining 85% of revenue is expected to come from educational products and services, said Cauz, who declined to provide dollar amounts but said the company was profitable.
Encyclopedia Britannica, Inc, is owned by the Swiss banking magnate Jacqui Safra. The company's websites, which include Merriam-Webster dictionaries, attracted more than 450 million users over the course of 2011, according to internal numbers.
If the company's move over the last decade into the education market is an impressive example of corporate versatility, the competitive difficulties the encyclopedia faces are easy to grasp.
Wikipedia English has 3.9m articles. The comprehensive Britannica has about 120,000. Wikipedia is free. The DVD Britannica, which includes two dictionaries and a thesaurus, costs $30 on Amazon. Individuals will also be able to sign up for an annual $70 subscription (universities will be charged about $1 per student).
Cauz said the product is worth the price.
"We may not be as big as Wikipedia. but we have a scholarly voice, an editorial process, and fact-based, well-written articles," Cauz said. "All of these things we believe are very, very important, and provide an alternative that we want to offer to as many people as possible. We believe that there are 1.2 to 1.5bn inquiries for which we have the best answer."
Asked whether the decision to end the publication's monumental run had not caused a backlash inside the company, Cauz said the opposite was true.
"The transition has not been that difficult," he said. "Everyone understands we needed to change. As opposed to newspapers, we felt the impact of digital many years ago – we had a lot of time for reflection. Everyone is very invigorated.
"We are the only company that I know of, so far, that made the transition from traditional media to the digital sphere, and managed to be profitable and to grow."
But what of the kids who will no longer grow up in the beneficent shadow of the physical volumes, or be guided in their learning by happy chance, as when they go looking for "kookaburra" and accidentally encounter "komodo dragon" on an adjacent page?
"I understand that for some the end of the Britannica print set may be perceived as an unwelcome goodbye to a dear, reliable and trustworthy friend that brought them the joy of discovery in the quest for knowledge," Cauz wrote in a company announcement. The product will improve, however, when it finally leaves the space constraints and black-and-white finality of print behind, he said.
"Today our digital database is much larger than what we can fit in the print set. And it is up to date because we can revise it within minutes anytime we need to, and we do it many times each day."

Hitler Here is a well researched and lyrically written biographical novel offering first-person stories by the Fuehrer and a variety of other characters. This intimate approach invites the reader to peer into Hitler's mind, talk to Eva Braun, joust with Goering, Goebbels, and Himmler, debate with the generals, fight on land and at sea and in the air, and huddle in the death camps as, everywhere, civilization is consumed.
Ebooks available at
Paperbacks wherever Books are sold
In this collection of thirty-eight chiseled short stories, George Thomas Clark introduces readers to actors, alcoholics, addicts, writers famous and unknown, a general, a lovelorn farmer, a family besieged by cancer, extraterrestrials threatening the world, a couple time traveling back to a critical battle, a deranged husband chasing his wife, and many more memorable people and events.
Let's invite many of the greatest boxers, and their contemporaries, to tell their own stories, some true, others tales based on history. Peter Jackson barges into John L. Sullivan's hotel room to demand a fight. Jim Jeffries regales listeners about his barroom confrontation with Jack Johnson. A bar owner discusses the violent alcoholism of Battling Siki. Jack Dempsey and his detractors hold forth. Sonny Liston stars in three stories. Nelson Mandela boxes Barack Obama. The top 13 heavyweights are identified. Muhammad Ali, Jerry Quarry, Emanuel Steward, Alexis Arguello, Lennox Lewis, and Archie Moore and others also share experiences. They're frank about their serious business. They know there can always be Death in the Ring.

Since I've not blogged before and am still ignorant of etiquette and protocols in this environment, this first one may be excessive, clumsy, goofy...and then again, we shall see. Hummm, I believe I will start with some family history (yawn) and then move agonizingly forward through time or perhaps not.
First, I believe I will introduce my wife and I to this blog, I suppose this could this come under the "About us- Who we are" title on the previous page but I will invoke the "1st time blogger clause" and stumble forward. This introduction may require a little clarification before proceeding ( oh no, an intro to the intro). Not long after my wife and I were married I started something, you see, the Lord has blessed me with a wife of noble character and so for every month that has 31 days I give her a note and a small gift. I have called this P31 day, for Proverbs 31, the verses about a wife of noble character. Anyway, the introduction I provide is in the form of a P31 note to my wife from not so long ago:
Happy P31 Day Andrea Marie!
Proverbs 31, I never weary of reading.
Andrea, I am extremely grateful to the Lord for creating the woman that you are. An awesome woman who loves the Lord, who is thankful for her family and husband and has a deep love for them, for him. A woman who is a "Wife Of Noble Character" a woman who understands the brevity of time given us and of those things which are eternal and those not. A woman worth far more than rubies, a woman who keeps no record of wrongs, a woman who is patient, kind, always hopeful and full of love. A woman, who when buffeted, will, like a cup filled to the brim, spill out that which she is comprised...the love of Christ. And in our Lord's gracious tender mercy, He has appointed a time such as this, that He might pour out His blessings on a man who has no right for such a gift.
I love you Andrea Marie my "Wife Of Noble Character"
You are a blessing from God, and I will honor that blessing till my last breath.
Proverbs 31, these words I never weary of, but rather imbibe them, an intoxicating elixir granted me each day...I love you Andrea,
Your Lewie
Guess I can conclude the introduction and proceed. Oh, before I go too far backward I believe I will share an excerpt from my personal notes. In truth, my absence from home "this trip" has prompted this foray into webdom. Not knowing what else to say I guess I'll just proceed with the excerpt:

Law school plans to expand diversityFebruary 06,2014Law school plans

SOUTH ROYALTON Vermont Law School has entered into partnerships with several historically black colleges and universities to expand racial and ethnic diversity in the legal profession.
The law school has partnered with Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio, and Morehouse College and Spelman College in Atlanta.
Each partnership is tailored to the interests of the college or university. The agreement with Central State University, for example, is designed to attract prospective students to the J.D./Master of Environmental Law and Policy and the J.D./Master of Energy Regulation and Law programs at Vermont Law.

Nothing makes me feel more feminine than cooking.
Which is a problem since I don't really know how to cook.
My mission for the Fall is to learn, though. I'm planning to take a class or two in the next few weeks.
I spent my Sunday making one of the few dishes I know how, my world-famous vegetarian chili. I, of course, took pictures of the whole thing.
And it was good:
So here's where the title of this post comes into play: I'm soliciting easy recipes. I recognize that there's a whole world wide web out there where I can seek these out but I trust that my commenters can do better than anything I'll find.Posted by Karol at September 30, 2007 07:10 PM | TrackBack

Funny...cooking makes me feel manly...
Try this easy meal:
Black bean and Artichoke Burritos
1 15 ounce can black beans, drained, rinsed
1 tablespoon veg oil
1 10 ounce can artichoke hearts,drained, sliced
1 med yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
8 whole-wheat (flour) tortillas
2 cups shredded sharp (or seriously sharp) cheddar cheese
1 large red tomato, diced
I can yellow corn, or frozen corn
3 chicken breasts
Refried beans as a side dish
Pour beans into a large skillet and bring to a boil. Cook at a hard simmer until they become pasty.
Heat oil in a separate skillet over med heat. Stir in chicken first. After chicken has browned then add artichoke hearts, onion , corn and garlic. Cook until the artichokes are golden brown. Do not over cook.
Open Refried beans and place in pan. Heat slowly. Add salsa for a kick!
Heat tortillas in microwave or skillet (preferred).
Spoon beans and artichoke mixture onto each tortilla, top with cheese and tomato.

Well, you already know how to cut, and you know that cooked ingredients come AFTER raw ones - in the cooked dishes. That's good.
Start with salads. You don't have to cook it, you can change one ingredient and the taste will change, you can experiment with dressings (self-made, of course).
A very, very basic one:
3 ripe beef tomatoes, 2 baby Mozzarella, 1 yellow pepper, 1 green. 3 cloves of garlic, 3-4 stems of regular parsley (or 5-6 of curly Italian parsley), salt, freshly milled black pepper, light olive oil, juice from 1/2 lemon.
Cut tomatoes in half, then slice. Slice baby Mozzarella, with a sharp knife (warmed under hot water and wiped). Cut peppers in half length-wise, clean out of guts, slice perpendicular pieces.
In a wide-mouth cap, whisk olive oil, lemon juice until emulsified. Add chopped parsley, crushed and chopped garlic, salt and pepper.
Place on a dinner plate, in layers, tomatoes, Mozzarella and peppers. Sprinkle each intermediate layer with dressing. End with some saved chopped parsley.
You can vary your dressing - add a bit of russian mustard and brown sugar, for ex, or a bit of finely sliced jalopeno and honey, etc. Or play with ingredients (remove peppers, add boiled egg. Or grilled eggplant).
Serve with fresh Italian or French bagette.
very simple.

The quickest, easiest recipe I know is mexican cheese sandwiches (quesadillas).
1 Heat a large frying pan (cast iron or weighty teflon-coate) to medium high heat. Add a little oil and spread it with a spatula.
2. Put a large torilla in the pan. Flip the tortilla over a few times to heat both sides, then sprinkle a handful of grated cheese (monterey jack, cheddar or mexican cheese mix work best). You can also add other stuff like green onions, sliced mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, chopped spinach or cooked chicken.
3. When the cheese starts to melt, fold the tortilla over, trying to avoid getting the filling on the pan. Turn the heat to low, flip the folded tortilla over and cook till both sides are lightly browned.
To make a quick salsa, chop up 1 green onion, 1 jalepeno, then add a chopped tomato. Use a big cutting board so you can chop them all together into small enough pieces without stuff falling off. Then add salt and the juice of 1 lime or (bottled lime juice) to taste.
Serve with guacamole (peel then mash an avacado with a fork, mixed with a little roasted garlic powder and lime juice), sour cream, refried beans and some chopped lettuce.
If that's too much mexican food, here's a recipe I found for greek chicken and potatoes that's sort of like my greek chicken recipe, with less preparation time:
3 1/4 - 3 3/4 pound chicken, cut into quarters
3 1/2 pounds of potatoes
juice from 2-3 medium lemons
2 teaspoons of salt
1 heaping tablespoon of oregano
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
8 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup of olive oil
1 1/2 cups of water
Preheat oven to 355F (180C).
Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Peel the potatoes and cut into quarters, lengthwise. Salt and pepper the chicken and potatoes. Transfer chicken to a roasting pan, and add potatoes, on and around the chicken.
Add oregano, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice, distributing evenly across the pan. Add water and bake at 355F (180C) for a total of 1 hour and 40 minutes. Half way through (50 minutes), turn the chicken.
Note: Toward the end of cooking, check to make sure there is still a little water in the pan. If needed, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup
For 4 people.
Basic rule of cooking - most meats and veggies taste better fried in olive oil (or butter) garlic and spices. Most mistakes can be covered up with a gravy and a nice wine.

For the best tomato sauce you need:
1 or 2 cloves garlic
1 small dried chilli
teaspoon oregano
4 x 400g tins of peeled plum tomatoes
extra virgin olive oil
1 table spoon red wine vinegar
handfull of fresh basil
chop up the garlic and chili and fry in 1 tablespoon of olive oil with 1 teaspoon of oregano for about 5 min. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the tomatoes and simmer for 1 hour. Be careful you don't break up the tomatoes or the sauce will become bitter. If this does happen add a bit of sugar.
After 1 hour roughly mash up the tomatoes.
Add a tablespoon of red wine vinigar and a large glug of olive oil.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Roughly chop the basil and add just before serving.
Add sauce to your favorite pasta or any thing else you want.
This makes heaps of sauce so just keep the rest in the fridge for up to a week (maybe 2).

What's the point of vegetarian chili?Posted by: FunkyPundit at October 1, 2007 01:30 PM
World-famous? Vegetarian Chili? Surely, you jest. I think we all know who's got the world-famous chili around these parts. (But yall ain't gettin my recipe)
You running a hippie commune here, Karol. I don't see meat in a single frickin recipe listed here.
Here's what you do. Get a steak. About an inch thick. Rub it down with some salt and pepper. Stick it in the frickin broiler at about three minutes on each side. Take it out and apply a pat of butter to each side and let sit for a minute. Eat. (Also, chucking it in a bag for ten minutes with equal part Worchestershire and soy sauce works, too.)
Here's a great dip. One block of Velvetta. One and a half cans of Rotel diced tomatoes and chilis. Chuck in a bowl. Chuck that bowl in the microwave and heat until melted. Eat with tortilla chips. MMMMM-mmm. White trash heaven.
I also have the best recipe ever for pirogies (which I don't know how to spell)... I'll have to dig that one up for ya.
An piece of meat an INCH thick, huh?
Karol, I need to get you to visit, for a quick cooking lesson: Meat and How Not Ruin It.Posted by: Tatyana at October 1, 2007 03:08 PM
roast chicken is the simplest thing to make and you will have leftovers for the entire week.
buy some chicken. wash it throw it in a roasting pan with potatoes, carrots, onions, chopped garlic, and any other veggies you like (root veggies work best). pour some olive oil and blend with your hands. season with salt, pepper and rosemary. set oven to 350 for about an hour. a waft of rosemary will permeate your apartment. the neighbors will come a-knockin'.Posted by: pn at October 1, 2007 03:59 PM
My go to dish, in that it is quick and easy, is Shepherd's pie. It's the same as cottage pie, except one has minced lamb in and the other minced beef. Are you a vegetarian Karol? The Quorn version is usually awful. You must've had this dish when you were in the UK, big bowl, cooked meat, seasoning and veg covered in loads of mashed potato browned in the oven. As bad as british cooking is, the best thing they do is bowl-based sharing food.Posted by: bryan at October 1, 2007 08:12 PM
Speaking of whitetrash heaven, (or kid heaven, which is the same thing minus the beer), here's a crowd-pleasing dessert -
Buy a package of Duncan Hines devils food cake - bake in a one-layer pan following the directions
let the cake cool, then (in a mixer) whip up a frosting using 1 can of homestyle vanilla frosting mixed with most of a 7 1/2oz jar of Marshmallow Fluff. Add more Fluff for extra fluffiness.
Decorate with jimmies or M&M's, drizzle with gel frosting or nestle's quik (strawberry or chocolate) or sprinkle with reeses pieces. Or throw it all on. The objective is to have more frosting and stuff than cake.
Posted by: mary at October 1, 2007 09:11 PM
The simplest cooking is, as PN suggests, in the oven. It's almost criminally easy and good.
Other favorite simple recipes involve whole fish or pork, and I don't know if you can fillet, keep kosher, or what.Posted by: someone at October 2, 2007 12:04 AM
If you add bisto instant onion gravy to the Quorn mince it makes it really good. just add about 3 teaspoons near the end before you season it. I use this all the time in cottage pies and chilli. It makes pretty good Bobotti, kind of a South African cottage pie. Real Eat veggie mince is much better though but still add the gravy.Posted by: Graeme at October 2, 2007 02:44 AM
Made this yesterday: Taco soup
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
1 can tomato sauce
2 cans kidney beans (have substituted other beans)
1 pound ground beef (have subsituted other meats
and even veggie crumbles)
3 cups water
1 packet taco seasoning.
1 medium onion chopped
In a medium sized pot:
Brown the meat, drain and return to pot.
Add onion and cook for 5 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients, stir well and simmer
for 10-15 minutes.
Graeme, that worked fine. My usual trick when eating quorn is to add Oxo cubes, which rather defeats the point...Posted by: bryan at October 2, 2007 07:58 PM

Vacuum processing is an essential element of diverse chemical, metallurgical and electronics-related procedures including vacuum furnacing, chemical vapour deposition, surface etching and evaporative coating, with process pressures ranging from ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) through to millitorr.
The Hiden HMT residual gas analyzer (RGA) is conceived to offer a single partial pressure gauge to operate through the full vacuum spectrum from high vacuum to millitorr to provide process gas trend analysis, vacuum background diagnostics and leak detection.
The integral dual-detector enables monitoring at high pressure by Faraday detector and at lower pressures to UHV by electron multiplier detector, giving full conventional RGA specification with partial pressure detection down to 2x10E-13 torr and a total dynamic range in excess of 10 decades.
Selection of the Process Mode sets the analyzer parameters for process operation, with system sensitivity automatically optimized for the specific process pressure.
Selection of the RGA Mode automatically resets the system for optimum UHV sensitivity and activates electron multiplier operation and overpressure protection.
The system is under full PC command with template-driven quick start operation.
Multiple units are operable over internet link, with automatic stop/start process control configurable via the integral TTL lines.

Arizona needs a status quo state budget for next fiscal year, state Senate President Steve Pierce says.
Pierce, R-Prescott, said in an interview for Arizona Week that while the state is bringing in more revenue, it won't change the amount of money the Legislature will allow to be spent in the next fiscal year.
"I would suspect most of the budget's going to be pretty much like it was last year," Pierce said. "I don't look at any great cuts. I don't look at anything drastic. I think we made cuts last year that were good cuts."
Democratic Rep. Matt Heinz, D-Tucson, said he hopes that the Legislature can find a way to restore some of the cuts for indigent health care and, perhaps, education.
In response to Pierce's comment that there will be no change in the budget, Heinz said: "If that means not allowing any of the $400 million plus surplus that we now expect to be diverted to help bolster some of the programs that were cut so severely during the last several budget cycles, I would have to disagree."
Republican Gov. Jan Brewer has said she wants to see some of the surplus go toward more tourism promotion for the state.
Pierce is less than two months into the job of Senate president, having been the Republican caucus selection to succeed Russell Pearce after voters in his district replaced him in a special recall election last month. Republican Jerry Lewis won the election and has joined the GOP caucus.
Pierce said he expects to move business along quickly in the legislative session that s scheduled to open Jan. 9 in Phoenix. He said the Legislature's only required work is the state budget.
He said, though, that it likely will look at reform of the Child Protective Services agency and further incentives to encourage business and job growth in the state.
Immigration also is likely to come up again as a legislative issue, but Pierce said he doesn't think more work is needed, besides keeping the border secure.
"We have done a lot with immigration, illegal immigration," Pierce said. "Even last session, there were about 12 bills that touched on it. And, I think we've done what we need to do right now."
Pierce, in fact, was one Republican senator who said no to several bills moving through the Senate in the last session, earning the rebuke of his predecessor, Russell Pearce, who had been a champion of such legislation.
Reporters Michael Chihak and Andrea Kelly dig further into the state legislative agenda for 2012 on Arizona Week. Watch it here:

Yes, I get that.....but, Bo WOULD be in the middle....his conflicting love for Hope as she possibly gets closer to another man.....and his feelings resurfacing for Carly who he remembers as a dear love to him.....but may be a totally different person now. It becomes more than a triangle. It's Bo and Hope....and Hope turning to someone who saved her daughter's life ( so she thinks) and Bo ( who would obviously still love Hope) turning to a woman he remembers meaning a great deal to him....someone he loved.....but is she still the same person? It's multilayered. And Corday can get away with saying that because he is spilling it out one-sided. Bo WOULD be in the middle if Hope had tried to move on. He would have to find a way to fight his urges to move on as well....or to fight to save what he has with Hope. So, ultimately, it would be a Bo centered story. What does he choose to do....what will Hope allow....when would the truth come out about Dean....and what's up with Carly? That could be interesting. And the only way, I think, they could do an interesting Bope/Carly story.

I wanted the whole truth about Nicole's lies to come out. I wanted the switch sl OVER entirely. Damn.
Now I am wondering If Ej sends Nicole and baby away or just Nicole...Or Does Mia get Sydney? Ugh!
Rafe is missing...Well good bye.
Lucas in rehab could be a good sl for the actor if they would give it some meat. I do not trust this show to do something like that though.
|Aug 19 2009, 04:31 PM Post #45
I agree with this too! If they are going to pair Hope with someone else, I'd want it to be Justin. I like him, and he has great chemistry with Hope. Not to mention, he didn't kidnap her daughter. I'm not sure where this is going......it could go several different ways. Maybe we could be in for a Hope/Dean/Justin triangle.....but after so many years of marriage, surely, Hope isn't doing triangles. But, who knows? This IS Days. lol But, I agree.....I could root for Justin and Hope....IF it was over for Bope.

If he sends the baby away, he's an even bigger douche than I already believe him to be.

Streetcorner Philosopher
So EJ/Nicole- I half pay attention.
Stefano knows what Nicole did though, yeah? So wouldn't he clue EJ in if EJ gets all up in the pants about Nicole's lie, thinking it's Mia's baby? I mean, how much longer can you conceivably drag it out once he gets that info? Or is EJ keeping his suspicions secret? I wish they'd end it all in one fell swoop. One awesome event.
The rest- meh. Waiting to hear more about Carly and Vivian. If they're the lure, why aren't they in this preview? Is there a "Save Days" coming?
|Aug 19 2009, 04:52 PM Post #48
Will it EVER be over for BOPE? Pretty unlikely. I could see Justin popping in and out of Salem and hopefullly with Adrienne.
So, I take it that Justin isn't going to have to defend Daniel either since Chloe gets him off the hook?
|Aug 19 2009, 05:00 PM Post #49
woo hoo these sound awsome. :cheer: ej cuts emotional ties with with nicole? that shouldnt be to hard since he didnt seem like he made too many. im glad just the same though!! so philip and nathan are after melanie. its about time they realized who the shit is in this town and it sure aint my shit dont stink boreing ol' goodytwo shoes stephanie! all in all the fall sounds alot better than the summer!! oh yeah and im liking that lucas is drinking again. not that i think he should be wasting any emotion on the, how did victor put it ... oh yeah the town whore but to me he is soo entertaining as a drunk i enjoy when he falls of the wagon.
|Aug 19 2009, 05:02 PM Post #50
Given that Justin has never tried a criminal case, that's probably a good thing for Daniel.

I wonder if Shelley Hennig is the next to be written off..
Becasue when she finds out and dumps Philip again theres basically no other good s/l for her..
Maybe she will join her parents and brother in that foreign country...
Shuks :wink:
Im also glad that Philip will fight for Melanie..
Off topic i think they are making Phillip/Melanie, days of our lives own Chuck/Blair from Gossip Girl.
Dena thinks they are destined to be together...

|I am just shaking my head "Sami wants Rafe back" after reading that I can honestly say "God help Days" if they are going to go with this Sami loves Rafe crap then Days is making a big mistake. I know some viewers like Safe, heck some may think Safe is the best romance that Days has going. I just beg to differ I find them FF worthy. The rest of the stuff looks ok - but just "ok". Nothing earth shattering that makes me want to rush to view Days.

seriously. i think i can really get behind this just because ej is going to feel like a complete idiot when he (yet again) insults/dismisses another of his biological children because of his current love interest's lies. even if sydney were mia's, ej has bonded with her. if he is able to jut get rid of her along with nicole, then i concede that he's despicable.
|Aug 20 2009, 08:59 AM Post #58
Given what's happening on screen right now, and the Ciara story fallout that's spoilered, I could see that scenario playing out. I think it would always be a triangle of sorts, though, because Bo would be torn between his current/damaged love for Hope and his remembered/betrayed love for Carly.
I would definitely welcome a re-visit of Bo & Carly, as long as Carly wasn't written as some sort of desperate, manipulative home-wrecker.
OTOH, whatever they do with her story, I'm just glad Carly is coming back!

Sounds like Ejole will still be married. I wanted the entire truth out now we'll probably have to wait until ARi returns or maybe the truth entire truth will be out by NOvember!
I wonder where Rafe is. Will Sami rescue him? LMFAO.
|Aug 20 2009, 10:48 AM Post #60
|I think that EJ and Nicole stay together which is why the spoiler says EJ cuts "emotional" ties to Nicole. I figure it's either to make sure that they retain custody of Sydney or something similar. Then the final piece of the babyswitch will be revealed probably in November sweeps, just in time for Ari's maternity leave.

HomeMetal Sun Moon Wall Decor in Brown Finish with Modern Design Brand Woodland
This wall decor epitomizes the contrasting versions of nature depicted by the sun and the moon. The decor symbolizes that both the phenomena are dependent on each other for existence and the absence of one will damage the existence of the other. The co dependency is portrayed in a brass metallic exterior. The intricacies of the design are supported by the subtlety of the tone. The monotonous shade is extenuated by lightening and darkening it in certain areas to balance the textures. The rays of the sun is beautifully illustrated in the decor. It sports a design that can be placed in any setting without having to worry about overlapping shades. It comes with a dimension of 20" Depth.

- Abstract
- We demonstrate in this paper that the velocity widths of the neutral gas in damped Lyα (DLA) systems are inconsistent with these systems originating in gas disks of galaxies, similar to those seen in the local universe. We examine the gas kinematics of local galaxies using the high-quality H I 21 cm data from the H I Nearby Galaxies Survey and make a comparison with the velocity profiles measured in the low-ionization metal lines observed in DLAs at high redshifts. The median velocity width of z = 0 H I gas above the DLA column density limit of N H I = 2 × 1020 cm–2 is approximately 30 km s–1, whereas the typical value in DLAs is a factor of 2 higher. We argue that the gas kinematics at higher redshifts are increasingly influenced by gas that is not participating in ordered rotation in cold disks, but is more likely associated with tidal gas related to galaxy interactions or processes such as superwinds and outflows. An analysis of the H I in the local interacting starburst galaxy M 82 shows that the velocity widths in this galaxy are indeed similar to what is seen in DLAs.

On Pearl Harbor Day, Stutzman Honors Men and Women in Uniform
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman issued the following statement in observance of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
"On December 7, 1941, America's greatest generation was tested and, on December 8, they answered the call. From the beaches of Europe to the jungles of the Pacific, Americans shed their blood to safeguard our way of life and to liberate others from oppression.
"As we recall the heroism of previous generations, we ought to remember that, although the threats to our Republic have evolved, our shared convictions are timeless. At Gettysburg, Pearl Harbor, and the skies above Shanksville, Americans gave their last full measure for the cause of freedom. Today, around the world, young Americans stand at the ready.
"We owe an endless debt of gratitude to our country's veterans. Our thoughts and prayers are with those currently in uniform. May God continue to bless our nation."

Sterile Water For Injection - Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Manufacturing Process, Machinery, Raw Materials, Feasibility Study, Investment Opportunities, Cost And Revenue
|Sterile products are dosage forms of therapeutic agents that are free of viable microorganisms. Principally these include parenterals, ophthalmic and irrigating preparations. Of these, parenteral preparations are unique among dosage forms because they are injected through skin or mucous membranes into internal body compartments. The parenteral range of drug administration is important in treating medical emergencies in which a subject is comatose or cannot swallow and in providing various types of maintenance therapy for hospitalized patients. The most frequently used vehicle for sterile products is water since it is the vehicle for all body products. Most of the demand is fulfilled by own production. There is good scope for the new entrepreneurs in this field with production of saline injection and dextrose injection.

|Download : Audio Video : Multimedia : Clear levels by killing bugs
A puzzle game where you create a sequence to destroy all insects in each level - Windows Shareware $5.95. Exterminator is a game of strategic planning and logic. Each level has a number of spiders, beetles, ants and more. The levels boards are laid out with 'arrow blocks'. These blocks are all part of a sequence that can destroy each insect within the level, providing they are launched in the correct order.
Exterminator 1.0 22-Mar-03 English 579 KB
At the beginning of each level you choose one single block to launch first. That block releases its arrow. As the arrow moves along the board, it destroys everything it touches. When blocks are destroyed by the arrow, the arrow turns in the direction that the block was aiming to. If the arrow leaves the screen the game is over. Each level is complete when all insects have been destroyed.

The Clovis American offense woke up in the third inning and started a 17-run tear that lasted into the fifth inning to beat Roosevelt County in the second round of the 13- and 14-year-old juniors tournament 17-7 Saturday night at Ram Field.
"We've been working on hitting a lot and we've got some big sluggers on the team," American head coach Albert Marez said, "They stepped up when they needed to tonight."
"We were just really rusty," Roosevelt County head coach Ricky Lovato said. "We haven't had much time to practice."
American's frenzy began in the third inning as Boone Wheeler connected to deep centerfield for a two-run triple, followed by Wheeler scoring on a passed ball to grab a quick 3-0 lead. Conner Doolittle gave American a 4-0 lead with an RBI single through the infield.
The visitors added nine runs in their half of the fourth inning, capped by a two-run scoring shot to deep centerfield to extend the American lead to 13-0.
Roosevelt County scored its first run in the bottom of the fourth on a balk.
Tre Orozco and Trent Barclay both brought in runs in the fifth inning to give American a 17-1 lead.
Roosevelt County rallied in the bottom of the fifth for six runs on two balks and four wild pitches, but it wasn't enough to escape the 10-run rule.
American advances to the championship game, awaiting the winner of Monday night's game between Roosevelt County and Quay County.
"I think by Monday we'll have better feedback from our kids playing ball, and I think we'll do well against Tucumcari," Lovato said.

WAR, W.Va. –Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin today joined Jake Steinfeld, Chairman of the National Foundation for Governors' Fitness Councils, state and local leaders, parents, along with students, faculty and staff from Southside K-8 to cut the ribbon on the school's brand new state-of-the-art Live Positively™ Fitness Center. Southside K-8 is one of three West Virginia schools celebrating new fitness centers this week. The fitness centers were awarded by the National Foundation for Governors' Fitness Councils to schools that demonstrated innovative ways in promoting physical activity and wellness to their students.
"This is a great day for West Virginia and students throughout the state," said Governor Tomblin. "I am thrilled to team up with Jake Steinfeld to promote the National Champion schools program to West Virginia and have three schools throughout the state each win a Live Positively™ Fitness Center. Southside K-8 made a commitment to fitness and a healthy lifestyle and is being rewarded for their efforts. It is my hope that every child in West Virginia will be inspired by the students at these three winning schools and will pledge to make fitness part of their daily lives."
"I'm fired up to be at Southside K-8 today to cut the ribbon on their brand new Live Positively™ Fitness Center. Governor Tomblin immediately jumped on board and embraced our vision of building a nation with the fittest kids in the world - one school at a time. He recognizes how important healthy kids are to the future of this great state!" said Steinfeld. "The leaders of this school understand the value of bringing innovative fitness ideas to their students and it's paid off. This new fitness center will provide generations of students with the necessary tools to make physical fitness activities part their daily routine."
"This is going to be phenomenal for our area. My students will benefit physically, emotionally, mentally and socially from this center," said Karen Johnston, physical education teacher. "My students are already excited and asking how many days they get to use it."
The National Foundation for Governors' Fitness Councils goal is to build a nation of the fittest, healthiest kids in the world. Physical activity and exercise are shown to help prevent and treat more than 40 chronic diseases, enhance individual health and quality of life and reduce health care costs. In schools, studies show that physical activity improves academic achievement, increases confidence and self-esteem, reduces discipline problems, cuts absenteeism and fosters better interpersonal relationships.
The National Foundation for Governors' Fitness Councils program plans to bring its challenge to all 50 states in the coming years. An attractive and unique feature of this campaign is that the Live Positively Fitness Centers are fully funded through public/private partnerships. Live Positively™ is part of Coca-Cola's commitment to bring people together to make a positive difference, which includes supporting physical activity programs. Other companies such as Wheels Up, Anthem Blue Cross, ROLL Global LLC, New Balance, General Mills, and TuffStuff Fitness Equipment are also committed to being part of a long-term solution to helping fight the obesity epidemic.

As we all know, a baby changes everything.
Those changes are wonderful (you have a new little person to love) and terrifying (you have a new little person to care for 24/7). Sometimes, in the excitement of the moment, women and their partners lose sight of how a baby can redefine a woman's priorities, relationships and sense of self. The transitions that come with motherhood involve going from no children to having a child (or multiple children), and they typically require that a woman either balance work and family or switch gears from pursuing a career to staying home full-time with kids. Each scenario is a major life change that can be both energizing and overwhelming.
The First-Time Mom
While you're thrilled to have a baby of your own, you'll be shocked by how this tiny being will consume every moment of your life. The realization will make you kick yourself for never having fully appreciated the freedom you once had. Other changes: Your childless friends won't understand why you don't return their calls and emails. Your home will become less tidy. You'll neglect the beloved pet you once doted upon. You'll continue to wear maternity clothes for a while -- since your real clothes don't fit and, besides, you're getting spit-up on so often.
Some advice: Try, as best you can, to live in and enjoy the moment. Your first child's first year is a fascinating journey. Take pictures on his or her monthly birthdays and you'll be awed by the changes occurring so quickly before your eyes. Try not to agonize too much about your career, your body, your social life, your "To Do List." At least once in a while, nap when the baby naps, and enjoy cuddling your sleeping son or daughter in your quiet home.
Becoming a Mom, Again
When your kid count increases, you'll likely look back on your days as a mother of one and wonder, "What was I complaining about? Why couldn't I get anything done? One was so easy." The challenge of having more than one child is that there's still only one you. Two or more kids are a job unto themselves.
Some advice: Do your best to not disappear beneath the demands made by your growing family. As a mother of three, including twins, I often feel that all I do is respond to the needs of my offspring and attempt to contain the chaos left in their wake. The Three Kids vs. One Mom dynamic is often very tough. When possible, I try to disappear (into my home office or by leaving the house alone or with my husband). I also try to spend one-on-one time with each child. That way we can be together without me shouting things like, "Hold on," "Just wait," "I'm one person, you guys are three.")
Surviving Stay-at-Home Motherhood
When two incomes aren't absolutely essential to a family's economic well-being, having a mother leave the workforce to care for kids is often looked at as the solution to all work-family problems. But for a woman who had a career and active life before becoming an at-home parent, the transition to stay-at-home motherhood can be filled with a host of mixed emotions.
Some advice: I believe that a key to "surviving" —- and enjoying -- stay-at-home motherhood is to look at stay-at-home motherhood as a job. Not everyone loves his or her job every minute of the day. So when you have rotten days during which you want nothing more than to get away from your kids, that's okay. It doesn't mean you're a bad mom. It doesn't mean you regret your decision to be at home. It means you're having a really bad day at work and you need a break.
Because stay-at-home motherhood is a job, it's not fair for a man to come home from his job and put his feet up while his wife's workday goes on and on. After all, no one in the paid workforce is expected to work around the clock. As I've said to my husband and other men: "Imagine if you lived and worked in your office. Imagine if you were on active duty for an 18-hour-plus shift every day and then you were on-call. Image if anytime you left the office your boss, colleagues and direct reports came with you!" Enough said.
Juggling Work and Family
One of the biggest parenthood challenges is finding quality child care so a parent (or two) can continue to earn an income. Each option -- hiring a nanny or au pair, using a day care center or provider, rearranging a work schedule -- has its pros and cons. Even families with the most perfect child care arrangements can be plagued with dread that someday, something will go wrong.
Some advice: If you or your partner can work a flexible, family-friendly schedule, go for it. When looking for hired child care help focus as best you can on the here and now. For instance, if you've found a child care provider you think will be great for your baby or toddler, don't agonize that she might not be as super with school-age kids. While planning ahead is important, even the best laid plans go awry. Live in the present. You can't control the future.
So whatever your motherhood scenario, remember that you are more than a mother, and that you're the only person who can take care of -- and best advocate for -- you.

One of the great things about the iPhone is that users can find thousands of applications for it and a large percentage of them are free.
There are some apps out there, however, that are so good that they are more than worth the low asking price for them.
Besides, there are certain strings attached with "free" apps that are annoying. Some of them flash ads at the user while a good number of games berate the iPhone owner into buying upgrades to progress faster. That's just life with free apps, but …

Quantum dots have a small, countable number of electrons confined in a small space. Their electrons are confined by having a tiny bit of conducting material surrounded on all sides by an insulating material. If the insulator is strong enough, and the conducting volume is small enough, then the confinement will force the electrons to have discrete (quantized) energy levels. These energy levels can influence the device behavior at a macroscopic scale, showing up, for example, as peaks in the conductance. Because of the quantized energy levels, quantum dots have been called "artificial atoms." Neighboring, weakly-coupled quantum dots have been called "artificial molecules."

Finding the Money to Build and Maintain Alabamas Roadscomment (0)
June 26, 2014
By Jim Williams
Few governmental responsibilities affect people more directly than providing the roadways on which we travel. Alabama has 3.8 million licensed drivers. We drive on more than 100,000 miles of streets and highways, which carried about 64 billion miles of travel in 2010.
Operating this network requires a substantial public investment. Alabama's state and local governments spent about $2.2 billion, or $460 per capita, on building and maintaining roads in 2011, about 7 percent below the national average.
Today serious funding issues threaten the capacity to sustain Alabama's road network. They stem from lack of growth in gas-tax revenues, increases in construction costs and budget maneuvers.
Highway money comes mainly from federal, state and local taxes on motor fuels. On a purchase of gasoline in Alabama, these taxes total about 39 cents per gallon.
The state's 18-cent tax rate was set in 1992. Since then, travel mileage on the roads has increased, but automobiles are becoming much more fuel-efficient. As a result, the number of gallons sold in Alabama, and therefore gas-tax revenues, are not growing.
Meanwhile the buying power of each tax dollar has been eroded by substantial increases in construction costs over time.
In recent years, the Legislature has diverted up to $60 million annually from revenues that normally go toward highways to cover funding shortfalls in the state's general fund.
At the federal level, an 18.4-cent gasoline tax has been in place since 1993. Congress has been authorizing more highway spending than these taxes produce, depleting the account and endangering future grants to the states. The answer thus far has been to move money from other sources into the highway account, but federal budget problems make this a short-term solution. Recent estimates are that the highway trust fund will run out of money in August.
One way to improve the balance between highway revenues and construction-related spending requirements is to create a sales tax for gasoline. For example, Georgia's state gas tax rate is 7.5 cents per gallon plus 4 percent of the sales price.
Borrowing is another way to bolster highway revenues. Alabama is in the midst of borrowing up to $1 billion in anticipation of future federal highway grant money. Of course, these bonds will have to be repaid. The state has not yet finished paying for similar bonds authorized in 2000.

Oil Slick Reaches the Web
With the ominous Gulf Coast oil spill steadily creeping toward Freemason Island, BP has attempted to cap the leak with a giant steel and concrete containment unit. However, that didn't go according to plan as the container quickly became filled with ice-like hydrate crystals and had to be temporarily removed. As they prepare to implement their next solution, I'm curious if the 24-hour new coverage has the attention of the

EGERSZEGI Krystina (1974) Hungary / Swimming
This Hungarian was the best woman backstroke swimmer of the nineties. Already a gold medallist in Seoul in the 200 m backstroke, she carried out a grand slam in Barcelona, winning the 100 m, 200 m and 400 m medley.Again present in Atlanta in 96, she won a new gold medal for the 200 m backstroke before winning the bronze in the 400 m medley. To this day, she is the female swimmer who has won the most gold medals; five in total, of which three were won at consecutive games in the 200 m backstroke. Her pure and fluid style impressed the Olympic spectators just as much as her slim figure, so different from her East German rivals, who often weighed almost 15 kilos more than her. The woman nicknamed "the mouse" amassed one of the greatest collections of prizes in the swimming world purely through hard work. As a child, the young Krystina would get up as early as 5am to reconcile her studies with her sport.

Agencies and programs tasked to reduce and eliminate disparity need the best available methods to assess the success of their efforts. When monitoring disparity it is vital to be aware of how absolute and relative measures of disparity, and when changes are measured, can lead to different conclusions regarding progress. Absolute and relative disparities for homicide rates between Hispanics and non-Hispanic Whites were calculated on an annual basis for 1989 through 2003. A joinpoint regression of rates was used to identify where significant changes occurred over the 15-year period. Absolute and relative changes in disparity were measured for each interval identified. The annualized percent changes in homicide rates for each interval were used to evaluate how relative rates of change in homicide affect disparity. Three distinct change points were found for homicide rates and changes in disparity between Hispanics and non-Hispanic Whites for the period 1989–2003. Intervals 2 (1991–1994) and 3 (1994–1999) had declines in both absolute and relative disparity. Only interval 3 had disparity reductions sufficient, if they had continued, to suggest any elimination of disparity within the next 5 years. Reduction in the relative difference between groups is the best evidence of progress toward eliminating disparity. The relative rate of improvement for the group with less favorable rate must be greater than that of the group with the more favorable rate.
