Every year around 1,500 Britons return to the UK with malaria. It is a disease caused by the plasmodium parasite. The parasite is carried by the female anopheles mosquito which may pass the parasite on to you when you are bitten. Once the parasite has been injected into your bloodstream, it starts move towards your liver, invading your red blood cells on its way. The parasite then causes them to burst and infect your system, causing a very high fever and in some cases death.
There are four different types of the malaria parasite that can affect humans, with the most common one, plasmodium falciparum, being the most dangerous. The other three, plasmodium ovale, plasmodium malariae and plasmodium vivax are much less severe, but can still cause a reasonable amount of discomfort.
Malaria symptoms in the beginning are very similar to that of flu, which means that many people sometimes aren't aware at first that they have it. Although there is a cure for malaria, preventing it can help prevent significant discomfort and in extreme cases death.

Travellers' diarrhoea is very common, affecting roughly 20 to 30% of people travelling abroad, and tends to affect people mostly during the first two weeks of their stay in a new country. Its effects aren't long-term and most people recover without treatment after three to five days. However it can cause you to become dehydrated and lose valuable minerals and salts, also known as electrolytes.
Diarrhoea is a higher risk in some part of the world than others, and mostly depends on how high sanitary and other hygiene standards are. It may also just be a case that your system isn't used to the new bacteria in the environment, especially if you live in a colder country than the one you are visiting.
The most common cause of travellers' diarrhoea is largely as a result of bacteria, which is the easiest to treat, with significantly less cases resulting from viruses and parasites. There is no vaccine for this condition, but making sure you drink clean water and eat only foods that have been hygienically handled can significantly reduce your chances of getting diarrhoea.

Jet lag is an extremely common consequence of travelling through time zones to reach a new location. It can affect anyone, even seasoned travellers, if they travel through two or more time zones. This condition is only temporary but it can be a particular inconvenience because it disrupts the beginning of a holiday. The most common and well-known symptom is finding it difficult to either fall asleep or stay awake, depending on the time of day in your destination.
It is possible to alleviate the symptoms of jet lag by taking a melatonin-based treatment. Melatonin is a natural hormone which helps to prepare your body for sleep. Taking such a treatment can help your body to adjust to the new time zone and the new sleeping patterns it requires.
You can find out more about jet lag and available treatments.
Travel sickness, otherwise known as motion sickness, is possibly the most common condition associated with travel, and it can affect people of all ages. It is most frequently caused by travel by car, plane, boat or train and occurs because your brain becomes confused by the conflicting messages coming from your eye and the inner ear. The messages conflict because one message tells the brain that you are stationary while the other tells it that you are in motion. The brain thinks that this is hallucinatory due to the ingestion of poison, so it triggers a response of nausea in an attempt to remove the imagined toxin.
There are a number of treatments available that can be taken to prevent the common symptoms of travel sickness - nausea, headaches and vomiting, for example - from occurring. These medications include Avomine, Kwells and Scopoderm patches. These medications are administered in different ways and can be taken in different durations to prevent travel sickness.
You can find out more about travel sickness and the treatments available to prevent it.
Altitude sickness is a serious condition that can occur in people who have ascended to new altitudes without taking the time to acclimatise properly to the new altitude. It happens as a result of the "thinner air" that is found at higher altitudes. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, nausea and tiredness. It is an extremely serious condition and proper acclimatisation must be carried out by those ascending to new altitudes in order to prevent it. High altitude is usually determined to be any height from 1,500m above sea level.
It is important to note that there is no alternative to the appropriate acclimatisation methods that can be taken to prevent this condition. Anyone who is planning to undertake an activity that involves climbing to new altitudes must ensure they are fully aware of the risks and are prepared if altitude sickness does occur. Treatments like Diamox can be taken to help prevent altitude sickness alongside proper acclimatisation.
You can find out more about altitude sickness.

Post-operative analgesia is a major challenge for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients undergoing long fusions for deformity. There is a constant tension between providing adequate analgesia that allows for early mobilization and causing side effects related to the analgesic. Recently, continuous epidural analgesia (CEA) has been developed as an alternative to patient controlled IV-analgesia (PCA) in order to minimize the systemic effects of narcotics. Dr. Klatt and his colleagues in Utah performed a non-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness and side-effect profile of three post-operative analgesia regimens for patients undergoing long posterior fusion surgery for AIS: PCA, single CEA (i.e. one epidural catheter placed in the center of the construct), and double CEA (i.e. two epidural catheters evenly spaced over the construct). They found that the double CEA patients had significantly lower pain scores (i.e. mean of 3.6 vs. 4.2 for PCA and 4.1 for single CEA). There were no major side effects or complications attributed to the analgesia regimens (i.e. infection, respiratory depression), and the single CEA group had the lowest rate of complications, though there were no significant differences in complication rates across the groups. Pruritis, nausea, and constipation were the most common side effects. There were no differences in time to ambulation or length of stay.
The authors should be commended for performing a high quality, level 1 RCT studying an important clinical question. Based on their results, they changed their practice such that double CEA is now the standard post-operative analgesia regimen at their institution. In order to determine if this regimen should be widely adopted, further data about possible complications and costs are necessary. While the authors powered their study to detect a 0.5 point difference in pain scores, the study is underpowered to detect and compare rare complications. If a rare but serious complication (i.e. epidural infection, respiratory failure) occurs at a rate of 1%, thousands of patients would likely be required to compare complication rates among the groups. Thus, the current study does not provide much data about the safety of these regimens. Additionally, the benefit of double CEA vs. PCA was quite modest (i.e. less than 1 point on a 10 point pain scale), and it is unclear if such a benefit justifies the increased cost that likely accompanies this technique. Continuous epidural analgesia seems to hold promise as a safe, effective post-operative pain regimen in AIS, and this study provides good data demonstrating that it might offer a modest benefit vs. PCA. Hopefully large studies in the future will better determine its safety profile and cost-effectiveness.
Please read Dr. Klatt's article on this topic in the September 1 issue. Will this study push you towards using CEA? Let us know by leaving a comment on The Spine Blog.Adam Pearson, MD, MS

Mobile Payments Transaction Platform
VimpelCom is the second largest mobile operator in Russia with over 64 million subscribers and 40% market share. VimpelCom's license covers a territory with a population of about 340 million people. VimpelCom wanted the flexibility to rapidly launch, deploy and charge for new services in a very highly competitive market. To meet customer demand and create competitive differentiation, VimpelCom needed to perform a global upgrade to its existing payment system, but in a manner that would allow them to cost effectively manage their subscriber growth. To master these needs VimpelCom chose Kabira Technologies. Kabira Technologies deployed the Kabira transaction platform for mobile payments; VimpelCom was able to significantly reduce its "Zero balance" period while also offering multiple new payments and card types.

About Ukeee_X : I'm Emma and stuff.
I have very particular views on a few matters, yet open minded on the whole.
I'm not great at biographies, but I can say I've been to Download for three years on the trot, and I plan on going to Vietnam soon.
I'm also part of a subculture that's recently hit the limelight by a terribly written book that was based off of a Twilight fan fiction. It isn't an accurate portrayal of this lifestyle either.
Yes my photo was taken in the bath. Don't ask why. It's an inside joke between friends, and I ended up liking this one.
Always up for an interesting chat. :)

Wexler Breaks His Leash On Palin

Within hours of the announcement by Republican presidential candidate John McCain that he had chosen Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate, the Internet was ablaze with reports that Palin was a supporter of Patrick Buchanan. The arsonists were a left-wing blogger and an attack-dog Democratic politician.
The blogger in question is Christopher Hayes, an editor at the far left Nation magazine; the politician is Florida congressman Robert Wexler, a self-described "fire-breathing liberal." Both men are ardent supporters of Barack Obama. Hayes has been described by The Weekly Standard's John McCormack as "an adoring fan of Rev. Jeremiah Wright"; Wexler had been named "Most Valuable Congressman" by Hayes's magazine.
According to McCormack, when Rev. Wright, the pastor who officiated at Barack and Michelle Obama's wedding, baptized their children, and served as the family's spiritual adviser for two decades, spoke at the National Press Club in April in an attempt to diffuse the then-raging controversy over his anti-U.S., anti-Israel sermons (the ones Obama claimed to somehow have missed), only two reporters openly applauded Wright's speech – Nadia Charters of Al-Arabiya TV and the aforementioned Christopher Hayes.
So it smacked of selective indignation and a colossal double standard when Hayes tried to tie Palin to Buchanan via a nine-year-old Associated Press story – without even bothering to mention that as soon as she'd read that article in her local paper, Palin dashed off a letter to the editor to correct any misperceptions the story may have fostered about her relationship with Buchanan.
Wexler, a loud and vitriolic partisan even by Washington's low standards (a page on his website invites citizens to support his call for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney), immediately went into attack mode, releasing the following statement:
John McCain's decision to select a vice presidential running mate that endorsed Pat Buchanan for president in 2000 is a direct affront to all Jewish Americans. Pat Buchanan is a Nazi sympathizer with a uniquely atrocious record on Israel, even going as far as to denounce bringing former Nazi soldiers to justice and praising Adolf Hitler for his "great courage." At a time when standing up for Israel's right to self-defense has never been more critical, John McCain has failed his first test of leadership and judgment by selecting a running mate who has aligned herself with a leading anti-Israel voice in American politics. It is frightening that John McCain would select someone one heartbeat away from the presidency who supported a man who embodies vitriolic anti-Israel sentiments.
Where to begin with such a vile brew of misstatement and innuendo? First, a few words in semi-defense of Pat Buchanan. While the Monitor has not hesitated to flay Buchanan over the years for a long parade of offensive statements, nothing that Buchanan has said or written would indicate his support or endorsement of Nazi Germany or its exterminationist policies.
(As for the Hitler quote, Wexler wrenched it out of its far less sinister context: Buchanan wrote, in a 1977 column discussing a new biography of Hitler, that while "Hitler was indeed racist and anti-Semitic to the core, a man who without compunction could commit murder and genocide, he was also an individual of great courage….")
All that being said, Buchanan is hardly deserving of our sympathy, even in the face of Wexler's over the top tantrum. Palin, though, definitely is. Even if it were true that Palin supported Buchanan's presidential bids in 1996 and 2000 — and all the evidence available at this point points to the contrary – it would still be downright ugly if not slanderous to claim that by doing so she had "aligned herself with a leading anti-Israel voice in American politics."
Large numbers of Americans voted for Buchanan the three times he ran for president (he was a candidate in 1992 as well), and the vast majority of them had no inkling they were somehow aligning themselves with "a leading anti-Israel voice." Foreign policy played a relatively small role in the presidential campaigns of the post-cold war nineties, and Buchanan, like just about every other White House aspirant in those years, focused mostly on economic issues.
But Wexler knows all that, just as he knows how ludicrous it is to try to pin Buchanan's views on Palin. As Wexler complained last February in a Jerusalem Post op-ed article, "It is unfair to attribute Pastor Wright's views to Barack Obama."Jason Maoz

Principal Chief George Tiger: NMAI's Meet Native America Series
In the interview series Meet Native America, the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian invites tribal leaders, cultural figures, and other interesting and accomplished Native individuals to introduce themselves and say a little about their lives and work. Together, their responses illustrate the diversity of the indigenous communities of the Western Hemisphere, as well as their shared concerns, and offer insights beyond what's in the news to the ideas and experiences of Native peoples today.
Please introduce yourself with your name and title.
George Tiger, Principal Chief of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
Can you give us your Native name, its English translation and/or nickname?
Mekko (pronounced mee-koe), which means chief, king, or leader.
Where is your nation located?
Okmulgee, Oklahoma, is the capital and headquarters.
Where are the Muscogee (Creek) people originally from?
Alabama and Georgia.
What responsibilities do you have as Principal Chief?
Basically the same duties as the President of the United States.
How did your life experience prepare you to lead your tribe?
When you know people (in my case, my family) who have been part of tribal government, that naturally gives you an idea or an interest. I've been around the Muscogee (Creek) Nation since 1975, that's more than 39 years, as an employee, elected official, Speaker of the House, and now Chief. As well as observing government, I have also had a lot of guidance—from my father, Chief Cox, Chief Fife, and Chief Beaver. I felt like this was something I wanted to attempt to do and was blessed enough to be elected.
Who inspired you as a mentor?
One would be my father, who was a resolution writer for the National Council in the mid 1950s to the early '60s. Also my grandfather, Chief Motey Tiger (who served from 1907 to 1917), was an inspiration.
Are you a descendant of a historical leader? If so, who?
In addition to my grandfather, there is my cousin, Chief Roley Camard. They both served as Principal Chiefs for the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
What is a significant point in history from your tribe that you would like to share?
A significant point in Muscogee Nation history that deeply affected our culture was the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This act, enforced by President Andrew Jackson, forcefully removed the "Five Civilized Tribes" from the southeastern United States.
For the Muscogee people, this meant leaving our ancestral homelands in Georgia and Alabama, relocating in Indian Territory, which is now present-day Oklahoma. Our ancestors endured the decade-long forced removal through all seasons of winter weather and summer heat with a significant loss of life along the Trail of Tears. To this day our oral histories and tribal songs continue to recount the harsh weather and loss of life at the hands of the U.S. Government. We remain proud today, and our culture endures as Muscogee people.

Parental Alienation and the Fight for Children's Hearts and Minds
Parental alienation involves one parent spoiling the relationship between a child and the other parent in the absence of actual abuse or neglect. In both my personal and professional lives, I have seen many parents actively turn their children against the other parent in an effort to "keep them (the child) close," and to undermine their child's loving bond with the other parent. Although research has demonstrated that parental alienation has very negative effects on children (e.g., depression, substance abuse and conduct disorders), few researchers have examined empirically how exactly parents engage in this alienation behavior.1
The majority of research on this topic has surveyed young adults (e.g., children) who report having been alienated from one parent by another. Alienating strategies include bad-mouthing or denigrating the other parent in front of the child (or within earshot),2,3 limiting the child's contact with the other parent,4 trying to erase the other parent from the child's mind (e.g., withholding pictures of the child with the other parent),2 creating and perpetuating a belief the other parent is dangerous (when there is no evidence of actual danger),2 forcing the child to reject the other parent, and making the child feel guilty if he or she talks about enjoying time with the other parent.2 The impact of these behaviors on children is devastating, but it also often has the opposite intended effect; parents who denigrate the other parent are actually less close with their children than those who do not.3


text: Blog driphter.com has new images of the unreleased BlackBerry Bold 9780 equipped with 3G bands 1, 2, 5, and 6. The bands operate on the 800 MHz, 850 MHz, 1900 MHz, and 2100 MHz spectrums and are what the folks over at AT&T use on their network. Previously, the device had only been seen with bands 1, 4 and 8, indicating that the device was potentially headed to T-Mobile USA. In light of this new discovery it looks like versions of the 9780 could hit T-Mobile, AT&T, Bell Mobility, Telus, and Rogers if RIM so chooses. Anyone out there prefer this more familiar form factor to that of the new Torch 9800?

The derivation of weights from preference statements is subject to difficulties, some of which are due to the unreliability of the judgement of the decision maker. To overcome this Jaynes' principle of maximum entropy has been invoked and may be applied either to weights or to the linear weighted scores of the candidates in a selection problem. When candidates are relatively few the two strategies give different styles of interaction. These are discussed and illustrated by application to a problem of personnel selection.

Ze-gen, Inc. Hosts Ribbon Cutting at Demonstration Facility in New Bedford
Ze-gen, Inc. Hosts Ribbon Cutting at Demonstration Facility in New Bedford
Facility will pilot company's innovative waste gasification and renewable energy generation technology
Boston, MA – July 24 , 2007 – Ze-gen, Inc., a clean energy company providing advanced gasification technology to convert waste streams into synthetic natural gas and low emissions electrical energy, hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony yesterday to mark the opening of its newly constructed demonstration facility in New Bedford, MA. The facility is located at New Bedford Waste Services, LLC (NBWS) at 1245 Shawmut Avenue in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
"New Bedford is thrilled to welcome the Ze-gen facility to our community. The company strives to not only provide an environmentally preferable alternative to landfilling but also provides the City of New Bedford with job creation and opportunities for economic growth," said Mayor Scott Lang of New Bedford. "We look forward to working with Ze-gen in the coming months as the facility's technology and operations are tested, and down the road as they develop into a full-scale, full capacity facility."
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) awarded Ze-gen with operational permits at the end of 2006, which allow the demonstration plant to operate for 12 months. This limited-time operation will allow Ze-gen to collect all the data on the system and the resulting synthetic gas needed to design a full-scale facility, which the company would like to locate in New Bedford.
"Ze-gen's gasification process is an important experiment in using an innovative technology and different feedstocks to generate clean energy," said David Cash, Assistant Secretary for Policy, Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. "We are eager to see the results of the test operations."
"We are very excited to be launching our demonstration facility today in New Bedford," said Bill Davis, President and CEO of Ze-gen. "This is the first step in testing the mechanics of our operation and will allow us to perfect our technology and position us for the launch of a full-scale facility. We're encouraged to have such enthusiastic support from the City of New Bedford, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and other state entities, and we are thankful for everyone's efforts in realizing this project."
NBWS's facility has been site assigned by the City of New Bedford and permitted by DEP to handle, process and transfer up to 1,500 tons per day of C&D material, municipal solid waste (MSW) and scrap tires.
About Ze-gen, Inc.
Ze-gen was founded in mid-2004 to develop and deploy advanced gasification technology which converts municipal waste streams into energy and other beneficial products such as synthetic natural gas with virtually zero emissions. In addition to the environmental problems associated with conventional means of waste disposal, there is considerable energy content in ordinary waste streams such as construction and demolition debris and municipal solid waste. Industry data suggests that in the United States alone, over 50,000 megawatts of latent energy potential in waste streams which are routinely landfilled. Ze-gen is poised to be the market leader in the environmentally friendly re-purposing of these waste streams into renewable energy.

Nu'uuli Wildcats down Faga'itua Vikings in Softball League
The Nu'uuli Voc-Tech Wildcats have finally made a mark in the win column, as they were able to down the Faga'itua Vikings, 17-16, in the American Samoa High School Athletic Association Girls Softball League action this past Thursday. They came into the game, the only two teams without any wins and at the bottom of the pack.
With only one week left in the regular season, neither team wanted to go into this last week of the regular season without any wins. The Wildcats had a chance to win their first game this past Wednesday when they played the Fa'asao Marist Cougars in a makeup game, but were denied the win, defeated by a score of 24-2.
In the highly anticipated game on Thursday between the Tafuna Warriors and the Leone Lions, who are currently the top two teams since the beginning of the season. The Lions took the lead at the start the game, but the high powered team of the Warriors did not stay down for long as they came back and overtook the Lions, never looking back as they cruised to an easy victory, 16-6.
This was the second loss for the Lions this season and both were at the hands of the Warriors. The only loss the Warriors had was against the Cougars.
With the playoffs set for September 29, the #1 seeded team will be playing the #4 seeded team and the #2 seeded team will be playing #3.
The Lions are seeded at #2 at this time with the Cougars at #3. The Lions have 2 games left to play before the playoffs, with their next game being against the Samoana Sharks and their last one against the Cougars. If they can pull off both of these wins, they will stay at the #2 seeded spot and will most likely play the Cougars who will probably go into the playoffs still seeded at #3, with the Sharks at #4.
But you still cannot count out the Wildcats who are still in play for the playoffs, with an easier remaining schedule left in the regular season than the Sharks.
The Warriors have two games left in the regular season and they are against the Wildcats and Vikings and by the way the Warriors have been playing, they will go into the playoffs seeded #1, with the rest of the teams battling for the remaining seeds.
In today's match ups, the Cougars will face the Vikings at 8am. Immediately following that game, the Sharks will face the Lions. All games are played at the Tony Solaita Baseball Field.
Here are the latest standings:
Tafuna Warriors 7 1
Leone Lions 6 2
Fa'asao Cougars 5 2
Samoana Sharks 2 4
Nu'uuli Wildcats 1 6
Faga'itua Vikings 0 6

Gretchen Rossi Responds To Brandi Glanville Calling Out The RHOC Ladies!
The Real Housewives of Orange County stars all seemed to have a moment on the reunion and was called out from Brandi Glanville about fake crying! Brandi tweeted that there was so much fake crying going on at the OC reunion part 2 and both Tamra and Alexis responded. Alexis explained that she had real tears and didn't understand why she let Gretchen get to her and Tamra told us that we all know who she is talking about insinuating that it was Gretchen.
Gretchen has finally responded herself and wrote, "not sure who you were referring too but my tears were not fake, I was beyond hurt by the woman were saying."
Brandi has yet to respond to any of the ladies basically ignoring any of their responses. Do you think Brandi was calling out all the ladies or just Gretchen? Thoughts on Gretchen's response?

Comments (27)
Gretchen was hysterical. She is so botoxed up she cannot cry. Fake Fake Fake. And by the way I believe she planned that engagement so she could get her own wedding spin off show. No one wants to see Wretch and Slimey get married. Gretchen is only on this show to sell her cake makeup. Ive never seen any of it in any department stores. Is it only sold online? Anyway after have been engaged three times and married once you should go to the justice of the peace and have a civil ceremony and get it over with. It beats having to return all the gifts when slade moves on to the next housewife.
Go away Gretchen. You're becoming a pain.
Pain is putting it lightly… Gosh, Gretchen is exhausting to watch! Her fake crying makes her look more pathetic.
After wiping away pounds of makeup and still managing to look same, but not
ONE tear, yes Retch, I think Brandi was speaking about you.
The dogs and a few coyote's were howling, WTF…………but NO tears.
Okay, last year Slade wanted to propose to Gretchen. She blatantly said NO, I don't want to marry you until your DEBT is gone. Is that love? HELL NO!! Now, Slade shapes up his act, "as much as Slade can." He gets a job on a radio station, and now he's bringing in some $$$$. Why not propose to him? He's got some money now. She's a greedy cow. She deserves everything a narcissistic person should get, and that's 100% alone time forever, since they love themselves more than anyone else! PS. Slade no longer has that job to date, lol. I wonder how much she still wants to marry him.
Actually, I'm glad Brandi brought that up, because we were all saying the same thing from home. On a 72 inch screen HDTV you can see a bead of sweat form, yet not one tear from Gretchen when she "cried," however Alexis had real tears, they were seen. Bahahahaha!!!!!!!! Get her Brandi!
oh, and Tamra's tears were also real. Sorry.
What tears is this pathological liar talking about…. my kids are better fake cryers than that.
OH please. Gretchin has the dry-est tears around! Watch…she'll eventually pop up to explain that she has 'tear-rad-oh-theraphy' and CAN'T shed water! haha!
lmao oh Gretchen. We could all see you had 0 tears despite trying your hardest. Next time bring a bit of onion and wipe your hand over eyes to make yourself more believable.
Alexis Tears : 100% Real
Tamra Tears: 100% Real…but it looks almost as if she had to think of something worse than her depression to make them come on. I know what's worse than that?…lol but I felt she was upset, but just not enough to really cry cry. I hope you get what I mean.
Gretchen Tears: 100% Fake Funny part is that if I were fake crying I would do it like only ONCE!! Lol. She was doing it more than anyone for a longer period of time which made it even more so painfully noticeable.
All JMO of my observation.
Agreed! She was ridiculous! There were no tears or anything running from her nose = FAKE! I absolutely believe Brandi was referring to Wretchen!
Hi Lawd,
Gretchen was probably still mad that the girls were calling her out for her alleged "indescriptions" that she couldn't muster up the water works, imo.
Why can't Brandi mind her business? She was so quick to cry foul on Nene speaking about her, saying "she should get to know her first", and here she is constantly running her mouth about the other ladies.
I don't think Gretchen could cry with the botox, her forehead is fabulous by the way. I think Brandi should focus on not being a drunken mess in public. Her calling out the OC didnt sway me to forget. Love em all tho. Except Heather.
As a viewer Brandi has the right to an opinion, just like the one you have of her. With that said, should we say that you should mind your own business and that you are running your mouth about her? And your comparison is not valid as getting to know someone is a lot different than noticing something that was pretty apparent.
Wretched did not have any tears, which quite frankly was frustrating and made her seem that much more of a manipulator and a liar. They should award her a Razzie for that bad acting. All Brandi was doing was stating the obvious and what the majority of viewers have stated as well, don't believe me look at any recap or comments about that episode.
Did she learn to speak from Danielle Staub? The plural of woman is WOMEN!
LOL! This woman needs to go back to school! It's referring to, NOT referring too!
She writes like an illiterate high school drop-out. I think she's the one that brought her college diploma for tonite's show and tell.
Hmm, didnt see any tears from gretchen. Dont wanna bash her but i'm sure it hurts that everyone has an opinion about you and your fiance. But the way gretchen and slade have gone around things I just honestly don't blame the other women. Slade couldve been the bigger person and kept his mouth shut about the other women but has not and I think what hes said about Tam and vickis looks have crossed the line. He even has talked about alexis and gave an interview about their relationship with her..i mean do you still have your balls? I'm a woman and I don't even act like hom
IMO I don't think he ever had balls. Remeber him fron Season 1 the way he struted his shit around the OC he was a famewhore from wayyyyyyy back.
Jen I caught a few episodes with him & Jo and I hate the way he broke up with her on TV! And then brings another whore to the season finale party. I mean what kind of person is slade? Hes an asshat
I couldn't stand the way he treated her. He treated her like he owned her and she was his personal whore and servant. I think this guy has serious women issues.
Her tears weren't fake???? Umm I didn't see ANY tears!!!!! Just alot of "sing songy" voice going on!
Big Head is beyond ridiculous!
Did she just finish reading Brandi's tweet..sound out the words and say it slowly..example
commiment – is actually pronounced compliment
Big Head waiting 7 days to pronounce your feelings is beyond ridiculous.
Really hope RHOC is cancelled due to all actor's are beyond stupid.
The way you used the word actors should not include an apostrophe.

HSNi Net More Than Doubles in Q3
November 6, 2013,
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.-Effective controls on expenses enabled HSNi to post a 137.8 percent gain in second-quarter net income, to $42.1 million.
Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses were down 4.2 percent in dollars and 191 basis points as a percentage of sales, to 27.2 percent. In addition, interest expense fell 56.9 percent in the quarter, which ended on Sept. 30.
Net sales edged up 2.6 percent to $789.9 million. HSNi's Cornerstone segment reported an 8 percent gain in sales, to $260.3 million, largely from sales growth from its home brands and from a 10 percent increase in digital sales. The HSN segment's sales were up 0.2 percent, with growth seen in home design and household products, and a favorable mix shift to categories with historically lower return rates.
Citing HSNi's "powerful and diverse portfolio of brands and products," Mindy Grossman, the company's CEO, said the third quarter brought "record customer levels and HSNi, an increase in digital penetration of 230 basis points--including strong growth in mobile, which now represents 12 percent of our business--and adjusted EPS (earnings per share) growth of 19 percent."

Once on the plus side in Potbelly ( PBPB ) I shot for the prior low of the day and was hit at $25.82. I then placed a trailing stop to catch it if she fell away. Stop hit and out for profitable trade.
Las Vegas Sands ( LVS ) as the chart says was a trade that I should have just taken what the machine was giving me. I left money on the table first pull. The second trade was not well thought out, and more of a BAD impulse open. Trying to impiously time the slot machine NEVER works. Everyday is a new lesson. The goal is not to repeat them.
Nice to see how stops work. LVS now at $68.75. Should have reversed the trade, but its all hindsight.
I did place a short trade on Aruba Networks Inc ( ARUN )at $19.02 and covered for a tiny profit at $18.98 as the market started to turn up.
Closed the platform with a very tiny profit.
I just have to remember what the poor guy laying the first very tiny brick in the Great Wall thought. 10,000,000 very tiny bricks will make a big wall someday.

CNJ staff photo: Sharna Johnson Marisol Azdar and her daughter greet her son, 7-year-old Felipe Azdar after his first day of school at La Casita Elementary. Azdar said Felipe was excited to go back to school Thursday morning.
Sharna Johnson
Hectic and fabulous are just some of the words used by school personnel to describe the first day.
Thursday, thousands of Clovis students returned to local schools, beginning the 2010-2011 school year.
La Casita Elementary Secretary Josie Mercado said the school has seen an increase in new and transfer students this year at the dual-language school.
Construction projects that required the office be moved to the back side of the building added to a high activity level at the school Thursday, she said.
"It was hectic. We were real busy," she said.
"I don't know about tomorrow," Mercado said with a laugh, explaining registration for kindergarten continues into next week.
Mychelle Simms, secondary principal at Clovis Christian School, said schedule changes went over well with students and staff and the day was "fabulous."
"We're up in enrollment and our kids came ready to learn again," she said. "It really was smooth and we felt like the kids were well taken care of. They knew where they needed to go (and) all the teachers were very well prepared."
Simms said this year secondary students are doing four-day block scheduling with a full day of chapel and Bible studies on Fridays.
The day also meant the end of lazy summer days.
"He jumped out of bed, but tomorrow might be a different story," Teresa Chavez said of her first-grader, Mateo.
Chavez said she remembers seeing in her son some of the same excitement she had when she was a child, such as being excited to see friends and wear new clothes to school.
"It was kind of crazy cause I had to get them up and get ready for work," mom Merisol Azdar said.
Azdar said her son Felipe was "ready and anxious to come back to school."
And next week will bring another adjustment, she said, when her daughter begins kindergarten.
Felipe said his day was good and he enjoyed seeing his friends, but the best part of the day was going outside for recess.

Now suppose that letter 9 was not typed before lunch. It may already be waiting on top of the pile when the secretary returns from lunch, or it may be added at any time during the afternoon. Apart from letter 9, there can again be any subset of letters 1 to 7 remaining to by typed. If there are k such letters, then letter 9 can be inserted at any of k+1 points (before all of them, after all of them, or at any intermediate point). The total number of orders is thus .

Select Comfort Explodes with 35 Percent Profit Gain in First Quarter
Posted on April 19, 2012 by
MINNEAPOLIS-Select Comfort rode the wave of strong sales increases to post an impressive 35 percent increase in net income in its first quarter, to $22.4 million.
Net sales for the mattress manufacturer/retailer jumped 36 percent to $262.4 million in the quarter, which ended on March 31. This included a pickup of 34 percent in same-store sales--a new record, according to Shelly Ibach, chief operating officer. "We continue to invest in broadening awareness for the differentiated Sleep Number brand and leveraging our position as a national retailer with exclusive, company-controlled distribution," said Ibach, who is slated to succeed the retiring Bill McLaughlin as president and CEO on June 1.
While selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses jumped 28 percent in dollars in the quarter, they shed 275 basis points as a percentage of sales to finish at 46.9 percent. Gross margin lost 120 basis points to 62.6 percent.
In a conference call to financial analysts yesterday, Ibach cited increasing store productivity and same-store sales as "an important part of our new strategy." She also said Select Comfort will offer the Sleep Number Silver Edition bed for a limited during the second quarter to commemorate the company's 25th anniversary in business. Select Comfort's long-term goal is $1.5 billion in annual sales by 2015, she said.

'Chicago," opening in movie theaters this month, received eight
Golden Globe nominations this week, beating out all other films this
year, which include critically acclaimed titles such as "Gangs of New
York" and "Adaptation." It falls into a recent string of musical-based
movies achieving popular and critical success, beginning with "Romeo and
Juliet" (1996), then "Dancer in the Dark" (2000), and finally "Moulin
Rouge" (2001). It seems that the musical is now reestablished as a viable
genre—popular enough to stand out in a blockbuster-filled holiday
"I would say that it's an evolution," corrects Stuart Fischoff,
Ph.D., a media expert and professor of psychology at California State
University. "They have taken a musical from Broadway, mixed it in a
beaker with all the current techniques of motion pictures that Hollywood
has to offer, and put it together in this new format."
Unlike its stylistic predecessors, "Chicago's" adoption
of modern filmmaking techniques gives it a chance of surviving the
movie-saturated Christmas season. Previous movies, such as "A Chorus
Line" (1985), failed to break out of the classic musical style—and
subsequently flopped at the box office.
"Young people can identify with ["Chicago"] because of its
edginess, and older people who love the musical can find a new
incarnation of it," says Fischoff. "You have a meeting of generations on
this very beloved genre."
"Chicago" will be released in most theaters on December 27. The
Broadway musical that inspired the movie is currently running at the
Shubert Theater in New York City.

Police have identified the Boston Marathon Bomber suspects as 19-year-old Dzokar Tsarnaezv and 26 year old Tamerlan Tsarnaezv of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Authorities say both men are brothers of Chechen origin who moved to the United States roughly 10 years ago.
According to Boston Officials, the two men planted two bombs that killed three and injured 176.
Tamerlan Tsarnaezv was killed late Thursday in a shootout with police in the town of Watertown, Massachusetts.
NBC is reporting Boston and its surburbs, universities and transit system were on total lockdown Friday as police hunt for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Meanwhile, two unidentified people were taken into custody at the Cambridge, Mass., home where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his older brother Tamerlan grew up, but they were not being described as additional suspects.

The duck decoy with the tramp stamp cracked me up!
I have a chinese neighbour who got this tattoo. She said she was tired of Western kids with (mis-drawn) Chinese ideogramme tattoos telling her "this means bravery" when what it says is "dog", because the artist has no grasp of Chinese writing.
So… does she tell them what their tattoos really say?
: ) Good escape, little Birdie!
Duck Commander he ain't.
No, she's an adult and she says the local Chinese schoolkids take care of it for her, particularly in arguments. "Oh yeah? Well that tattoo on your neck says "short", not "brave" or whatever.
Our daughter-in-law had a temporary tattoo placed on the small of her back for a party. Before they left she showed it to my husband, who is Chinese, and me. I don't remember what is said but when my husband saw it he said, "Nice, but it is upside down".
