5 Reasons the Cloud Is Great for SMBs
By Shane Stark
Cloud has become the new buzzword and means different things across the board. So it may be best to start by defining cloud: Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network.
With that in mind, here are five things you should know about cloud computing:
1. Cloud computing allows SMBs to take advantage of economies of scale.
For example, rather than leasing rack space, power and cooling in a data center for DR options, companies can work with a cloud provider to find a solution. Cloud providers help plan and implement a business continuity process that virtualizes the customer's servers and maintains storage for them at a fraction of the cost of traditional data center space. In the past, this type of disaster recovery solution has not been economically feasible for small to medium business, but by using cloud computing they are able to stay competitive with much larger companies.
2. Lower power bills and make an environmental impact.
By virtualizing servers, you reduce the power used, saving money and decreasing your carbon footprint. In 2012, Google reported,"A typical company that migrates to the cloud could save between 67 - 87 percent in energy."
3. Gives the ability to change capital expenditures into operating expenditures.
Today it is possible to change large capital expense items such as phone systems and servers into a manageable monthly cost by using VMs and hosted PBX. Rather than spending $50,000-$90,000 for a new PBX, today it can be hosted in the cloud for a reasonable monthly fee.
4. Access to highly trained IT professionals without the cost of additional employees.
By moving to the cloud, SMBs gain access to highly trained IT staff working for the cloud provider companies as part of their monthly service. In this model the customer can stay focused on what they are good at and their IT staff can stay focused on other initiatives.
5. Increased efficiencies.
Services are rapidly deployed and ready for use in a matter of minutes or hours versus the weeks or months it traditionally takes. In this way IT project results can be delivered faster, cheaper and with more quality.

All voters should know that Gorell cannot be trusted to protect Social Security. Gorell is open to ending guaranteed benefits for our seniors and to privatizing Social Security and gambling our retirements on Wall Street. Gorell recently said that when it comes to Social Security, "they're all on the table," and the same Tea Party billionaires who have spent millions trying to privatize Social Security are now backing his campaign. The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare opposed Jeff Gorell's campaign because he won't stand up for seniors and ensure they receive the benefits they have worked a lifetime to earn.Background »

On the one hand, I like this letter from a hot woman to an entitled ogler. But! I'm a bit over the idea that street harassment only happens to "hot" women or is at all about desire. In my experience, it's got more to do with a kind of problematic male-bonding, and with you having a female body coded as vulnerable (based on your race, age, and appearance) in a space where men feel entitled to be predatory. As you can see from the stories archived on HollabackDC, a website about street harassment, short-shorts rarely play into it.

Dear Runners of Runner's World,
I just wanted to let you know
about a campaign we have started called #Handsoverhearts. The campaign urges runners of this Sunday's London Marathon to cross the finish line with their hands over their hearts in tribute to the tragic events that unfolded in Boston on Monday.
Running is a solitary sport, yet as runners we are greater than the sum of our parts, we are a proud community enabling, motivating and supporting one another to achieve greatness. The tragedy that unfolded at The Boston Marathon reminds us of the importance of our community and the love, compassion and camaraderie of runners across the globe.
This small personal gesture will act as a mark of respect and a demonstration of a running community united in tragedy. Photographers capture every marathon runner's finishing moment and we are asking runners to dedicate that moment of personal achievement to those lives whose lives have been irrevocably changed by events at Boston Marathon.
Please spread the message and follow on twitter #Handsoverhearts
Best Wishes,
Lucy Fraser-Macnamara

This lyric from a popular musical group is the tagline motto of the Schroeder Rotary Drilling and Pump Company. Never has more truth been told than in the simple statement above.
Townships, farms, villages, municipalities and private land owners all depend upon the local ground water tables as a source of drinking water. If you've never been a water well user you may unaware of this. Fact is, many municipalities pump lake or river water combined with well water to central treatment facilities for treatment before being sold for consumption. In rural areas, the most economical source of water for farm and home is still the water well.
If your plans include moving to the country, chances are your source of water will be a water well. The well will likely be the only source of water available. With this in mind you'll be wise to know a full line water well expert. Tom is not only a licensed well driller, he also owns and operates his own drilling rig. Because of this Tom and his crew are not only pump repair experts, they also have hands on experience drilling wells. Actual well drilling experience in the pump repair business is rare. A lot of pump companies advertise well drilling, then hire the cheapest driller they can find. A recognizable lack of pride usually shows up in the finished product of these contractors. In pump repair situations, the lack of drilling knowledge usually means they may not recognize your problem. In many cases a simple well problem can be falsely diagnosed as a pump problem, which leads to unnecessary repairs. Different problems occur on a daily basis and Tom's crews possess the knowledge and the right equipment to recognize your problem and repair it correctly. Don't play the lottery with the Yellow Pages. Give us a call first. Tom has over 35 years drilling and pump experience supported by hours of formal education. These qualities make him your best option listed for all of your water well needs.
Our expertise goes well beyond just showing up and drilling a well. Our crews are experienced and know the local ground water physics and geologic conditions. Tom has a degree in Environmental Technology so he understands the chemical characteristics of water as well. Tom and his crew bring over 50 years of combined experience drilling wells and servicing water systems. Tom is now servicing customers who are several generations removed from his earliest customers. You can count on Tom for your water well needs for years to come.
We also understand that you want to deal with a reputable business in all aspects of your well construction. Our approach to the business of providing you with a safe source of drinking water is to give you the benefit of a truly friendly business experience. We are Missouri Permitted Water Well and Pump Installation contractors. We are covered with Liability, Workman's Compensation, and Unemployment Insurance. We can make a visit to your property and perform a site survey; from this survey, we can estimate closely the costs for your well and water system. We can explain to you your water system options to help us select the most efficient operating water system to meet your needs. We will provide you with a written estimate of services and equipment necessary.
Once the formalities of location and price are worked out it is easy to schedule the work. After the well is completed your water system can be installed. In some cases, your new water supply can be ready to use within a few hours after drilling is completed. Reading this will no doubt bring questions to mind, such as, "How do I get started?" Read our article Steps to Consider for Water Well Drilling for help.
If you have never experienced the well construction process, we can answer any questions you have. Our wish is for you to be present when the work is performed. Your presence will provide you with an inside look of how a water well is properly constructed. We can explain the process as it unfolds creating for you a truly memorable experience. We also carry educational materials that you can read to learn about the process. See our Consumer Information page. We want you to be confident about your choosing us for your well contractor.

Finding out how much your life insurance might cost is an important calculation, because you want to be sure that you have enough coverage to protect your family in the event that something happens to you. You also want to be sure that you have selected a policy from a quality company at a premium that is competitive. There are many factors that go into determining your life insurance premium, and this article will tell you what's behind the mirror in that process. Knowing how premiums are calculated can be extremely helpful in assisting you with the quote process to get your life insurance online.
This is the biggest factor by which the life insurance carrier determines your premium. You might want to ask your agent questions about age nearest and age last. If your birthday is coming up, for example, some carriers will assume that you are that next age up, which could bump your premium. If you're within six months of your most recent birthday, generally you might be able to backdate the policy to "save age". In most situations, you will be responsible for paying back premium for those other months, too, so run a calculation to see if you're within the right range to save age on your policy.
As you might expect, the younger you are, the cheaper your policy is going to be. This is because the insurance carrier uses mortality rates to "guess" the chances that you might die at any particular age (exciting job, right?). The younger you are, the less your risk, and that's why your premiums are cheaper.
You might be surprised by the number of life insurance carriers who have taken a leap forward with regards to how they consider certain health issues. Some carriers are friendlier towards diabetes or family history of cancer, for example. Simply going through a quoting engine will not necessarily connect you with the life insurance company that provides the best value. In some situations, your life insurance risk class can be raised by as much as one or two categories just by choosing the right carrier.
If weight is an issue, you should know that carriers use height and weight tables to initially identify where you might fall. Losing some weight recently, although a great accomplishment, is not likely to convince the carrier that you'll stay that weight or lose even more. In fact, many carriers want to see whether you'll be able to maintain that weight for the long term, so you'll want to be sure that you've kept that same weight for at least one year.
Smoking Status
Checking off the "smoker" box on your life insurance quote is one way to spike the premium you're quoted, but carriers view some other tobacco use a bit differently. For example, if you only enjoy a cigar every so often, you might qualify for a nonsmoker rate through Prudential. Smoking status is a lot like your weight- recent changes are not enough to convince a carrier that you're in it for the long haul. They want to see sustained success. Some carriers want to see that you have been smoke free for at least two years, and others like to think of one year as the marking point. If you're within several months of hitting a major milestone like being smoke free for two years, consider waiting until you pass that milestone to get your life insurance coverage. It could make a big difference on your bottom line premium payment.
Even if you are classified as a smoker, it's still possible to receive life insurance at an affordable and competitive rate- you just need to look around. There are some life insurance carriers who award "fit credits" depending on other aspects of your life, like height and weight. If you can meet excellent status in these areas, you may be able to get the best possible rate class for a smoker. Simply put, doing a little research is going to help you in the process of identifying the right carrier for you.
Let's put it this way: if you enjoy skydiving as a regular hobby, it might be a challenge to ensure you. It's not that life insurance companies bar all activities that might be classified as "high risk"- it depends on the activity. If you love to fly airplanes in your free time or go deep sea diving on a regular basis, however, you could be looking at a costly rate class or an outright denial. As mentioned earlier, this is totally dependent on the carrier and the activity at hand. Your best bet is to work with your life insurance expert to select an appropriate company that is likely to give you the best possible rate class. In the meantime, be safe! We're hoping you never actually need to cash in on your life insurance policy.
Amount of Coverage
Remember that you can also work backwards to arrive at your final premium by thinking about what your desired budget might allow you to purchase each month. Once you see this number, however, conduct an evaluation to help you determine how much this will assist your beneficiaries and make alterations from there. You might be able to save some money if you pay on an annual basis, too. Play around with the numbers to determine that you have selected a policy with the comprehensive coverage you need at a price point you are comfortable with. So many families have been saved financially by the existence of a life insurance policy- make sure that your family is protected with the coverage you need.

Integrated Treatment of OEF/OIF Veterans with PTSD and Substance Use DisordersIn comparison to the general population, U.S. military and Veterans are at an increased risk for developing both substance use disorders (SUD) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Current research has shown that there is a high comorbidity of SUD and PTSD, and although there are a number of treatments for SUD and PTSD independently, there are very few effective methods to simultaneously treat both disorders. Because of this substantial gap in the treatment of both SUDs and PTSD, it has become essential to develop a combined treatment that would address and treat both disorders. Individuals, specifically U.S. military and Veterans, with SUD/PTSD have unique needs that require a specialized treatment approach. This designed approach would employ cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat the SUD, in conjunction with Prolonged Exposure therapy to treat the PTSD. Prolonged Exposure (PE) is an empirically supported and evidence-based treatment that is currently regarded as the "gold standard" psychosocial treatment for PTSD. In combination with CBT, this treatment would address both disorders in hopes of reducing substance use and PTSD symptomatology. Contact: Frank Beylotte 843-792-2522 firstname.lastname@example.com

The Songlines Encounters Festival at King's Place, York Way, London N1
Thursday 4th – Saturday 6th June 2015
The fifth Songlines Encounters Festival features musicians from Portugal, Cyprus, Iran, the UK and Bangladesh. There are some UK premieres, some first time collaborations and lots of supremely inspirational music from artists that have impressed us at Songlines magazine. We will welcome some great female voices – Gisela João from Portugal and Mahsa & Marjan Vahdat from Iran, alongside sublime Scottish fiddling, and brilliant roots music from Bangladesh, both alone and in collaboration with London's own Lokkhi Terra. And for the first time a night of very danceable live Afro-electronica from Afriquoi and the chance for children to discover klezmer and Balkan music with the help of the talented musicians of She'Koyokh. As ever with Songlines Encounters, the idea is to discover something new – and memorable. – Simon Broughton (Songlines Editor-in-Chief)
The Shikor Bangladesh All Stars features seven of the country's best traditional musicians. There's folk singer Baby Akhtar, a specialist in songs from all over the country, spectacular dhol drummer Nazrul Islam and the maestro of Baul music Rob Fakir, who lives near the shrine of the most celebrated (19th C) Baul poet Lalon Fakir. For the first time in the UK, the All Stars will present a vivid sample of the country's vibrant folk heritage.
In the second part, the Shikor Bangladesh All Stars will join London's superb Anglo-Bangladeshi Afrobeat Latin group Lokkhi Terra, with pianist Kishon Khan and vocalists Sohini Alam and Aanon Siddiqua, to bring Songlines Encounters 2015 to a rousing conclusion.

Scorpio Seen Rising as Tanker Rates Gain Most Since '08: Freight
Rising Asian demand for naphtha and a shortage of ships hauling the oil product used in everything from Barbie dolls to car parts will boost freight rates to a four-year high and return Scorpio Tankers (STNG) Inc. to profit.
European ports loaded 1.35 million metric tons in November, the most since January 2010, according to data compiled by Bloomberg from shipbrokers' reports. The tankers will earn $16,250 a day in 2013, 52 percent above prevailing rates this year, the median of four analyst estimates shows. Shares of Scorpio Tankers, which operates 30 vessels, will gain 21 percent in the next 12 months, based on the average of nine predictions.
Rates are surging after owners switched tankers to more profitable crude oil and other so-called dirty cargoes in the past two years. The vessels need to be decontaminated before they can carry refined products again. That diminished a glut of tanker capacity just as imports by Japan, Asia's third-biggest buyer, expanded in the longest streak since 2007.
"Demand is stronger than it has been for years," said Robert Bugbee, the New York-based president of Scorpio Tankers. "We have seen the fundamental trend for tanker rates to Asia shift for the better. The market for naphtha is exceeding our expectations, and so we are much more optimistic."
Biggest Fleet
Shares of Monaco-based Scorpio Tankers gained 34 percent to $6.53 in New York trading this year, compared with a 21 percent slump in the 11-member Russell 2000 Shipping Index. (RGUSPSSH) The stock will reach $7.87 in 12 months, the highest since July 2011, the analyst predictions show. The company will report net income of $5.73 million for next year, against a loss of $23 million in 2012, according to the mean of six estimates. Profit is expected to reach $24.6 million in 2014.
Other owners include Hellerup, Denmark-based Torm A/S (TORM), which operates Europe's biggest fleet. Shares of the company, which deferred debt repayments five times since December, tumbled 47 percent in Copenhagen trading this year. Torm will narrow its net loss to $115 million in 2013 from $297 million for this year, the mean of six estimates showed.
Rates slumped to a record low of $1,516 a day in March as Japan's naphtha stockpiles contracted to the smallest since 1995, government data show. Industrial production plunged after the temblor and tsunami in March 2011 shut nuclear power plants, curbing electricity supply to factories. As manufacturing accelerated, naphtha imports expanded every month since August, the longest streak in five years, according to government data.
Gasoil Shipments
Declining rates spurred owners to switch 44 tankers to fuel oil and other dirty cargoes since the start of 2011, data from London-based E.A. Gibson Shipbrokers Ltd. show. To carry refined products, the ships would first have to clean their tanks and then haul three gasoil cargoes at a discount before they could be chartered for naphtha again, according to ICAP Shipping International Ltd. in London.
The fleet expanded faster than demand for eight consecutive years, according to London-based Clarkson Plc, the world's biggest shipbroker. Owners accelerated orders for new vessels in 2008, when freight rates were three times higher than this year, and capacity grew 25 percent since then. Cargo volumes rose 13 percent over the same period.
Stalling economic growth would curb demand for the plastic consumer goods made with the ethylene derived from naphtha. The oil product is also used to make gasoline. The 17-nation euro area slumped back into a recession last quarter and the International Monetary Fund cut its 2013 global growth forecast twice since July, to 3.6 percent.
Largest Importer
Japan sank into recession in the third quarter, when gross domestic product shrank an annualized 3.5 percent after contracting in the prior three months, the Cabinet Office said yesterday. China, Asia's biggest naphtha buyer, slowed for seven consecutive quarters before this one, and South Korea, the region's second-largest importer, grew 0.1 percent during the three months through September, central bank data show.
Next year's projected tanker rate would still only be about $3,250 more than owners need to break even, according to estimates from RS Platou Markets AS, an Oslo-based investment bank. The five-year average is $18,999 and returns reached $76,228 in August 2008, Clarkson data show.
Rates may keep rising because the pace of new vessels leaving ship yards is slowing. The global fleet of product tankers will expand 1.8 percent in 2013 as trade gains 4.8 percent, Clarkson (CKN) estimates.
Manufacturing Index
The number of vessels hauling naphtha to Asia in October was almost 40 percent higher than in July, according to Poten & Partners Inc., a New York-based shipbroker and consultant. Japan's industrial output gained 1.8 percent in October, the most since December 2011, government data show. China said Dec. 1 its official manufacturing index reached a seven-month high.
Scorpio has been expanding its fleet as naphtha demand strengthened, Bugbee said. That included chartering a ship for six months from January, with options to extend that by another 18 months.
"It's Japan's acceleration in imports that has been the driving force behind the increased cargo demand," said Erik Nikolai Stavseth, an Oslo-based analyst at Arctic Securities ASA whose recommendations on the shares of shipping companies returned 15 percent in the past year. "Product tankers look increasingly attractive."

Benefits Of Using The Threaded Inserts
When Threaded Inserts are used to make inserts in a material, they generally do not require a drilling machine except a few. Some of the benefits of using these inserts for plastic or other inserts are;
* When the specifications and expectations are correctly programmed in them, they promise to make holes of the exact size and dimensions and it is very rare that there might be some deviations.
* They are very easy to use and can be used for all machineries without any exception.
* They reduce drastically the human efforts and do the entire job from start to end, all by themselves.

Government stalls on Pacific flight access for Singapore Airlines
Page Tools
The Federal Government has played down reports it has decided to continue its protection of Qantas's golden Sydney-Los Angeles route, saying a final cabinet decision on whether to grant Singapore Airlines access on the route could still be weeks away.
Despite strong signals the Prime Minister, John Howard, and Federal Transport Minister, John Anderson, may have already been persuaded by Qantas's intense lobbying efforts, a spokeswoman for Mr Howard said "it could be some weeks [before a final decision is made] and cabinet would have to discuss it in the context of aviation globally".
In a sign the issue is already straining relations between Australia and Singapore, the spokeswoman was quick to deny a report Mr Howard had called his Singaporean counterpart, Lee Hsien Loong, on Friday to say Australia had decided not to sign an open-skies agreement with Singapore.
"The Singaporean Government called the Prime Minister on Thursday night to see where we were going with it," she said. She said Mr Howard told Mr Lee that a decision was still possibly weeks away despite cabinet meeting to discuss the issue tomorrow.
It is understood the Singapore Government is perplexed why Australia continues to drag its heels over an open-skies deal, especially as both countries signed a free trade agreement early last year.
Singapore Airlines spokesman Stephen Foreshaw said: "We are disappointed but not surprised by reports of the deferral of the decision to provide more competition on the Australia-USA route. It isn't the first time the decision has been put off."
He cited a recent Econtech report, commissioned by Singapore Air, which found that 48,000 US tourists would visit Australia each year if Singapore Air entered the Australia-US route. The report claimed fares on the route serviced only by Qantas and United were 17 per cent higher - on a per kilometre basis - than fares to London.
In light of warnings by Qantas in the past week that 3000 jobs could be lost if Singapore Air entered the route, Mr Foreshaw said: "This is coming from an organisation which has already been shifting jobs offshore and cutting jobs without any assistance from us."
Qantas's head of government relations, David Hawes, told the Herald that opening up the Sydney-LA route would only be fair if Qantas had the same access into Europe and other markets as Singapore Air.
"People who sit between markets get the opportunity to combine sets of rights negotiated with countries at either end and whizz-bang, later do things that a player at the end of the world like ourselves is not able to do," he said.
Qantas has also started to poke holes in the Econtech report. Qantas, which controls three-quarters of direct flights from Sydney to LA, has argued the route cannot support a "large number of carriers".
"Were this an extremely lucrative and uncompetitive market it would be reasonable to expect that one or other of the US carriers would invest in it," Qantas said. "Perhaps this reflects the fact that many routes are only operable by government-owned or subsidised carriers."

A Briton who allegedly fled New Zealand on a stolen passport while on bail for child sex offences here has been arrested in Thailand, Britain's Child Exploitation and Online Protection (Ceop) agency said.
Roderick William Robinson, 73, was detained in Pattaya on Tuesday, having been on the run for 12 years, a local newspaper reported.
Thai authorities said Robinson's right to stay in that country had been cancelled and he would be deported back to Britain.
The Pattaya paper said Robinson was arrested for child molestation on Valentine's Day in 1998.
He left Britain and was arrested again in Australia, for the alleged assault of a nine-year-old girl in Sydney in 1999, when he was bailed pending court hearings.
He failed to appear to answer the charges in 2001 and fled to New Zealand ,where he was arrested for child sex offences allegedly committed here.
He was granted bail with the requirement he surrender his passport.
But in November 2009 Robinson left New Zealand, using a stolen passport.
He eventually found his way to Thailand where he was arrested on Tuesday.
"This time, the Thai police will ensure that he will not have any chance to run away and he will eventually face trial and hopefully justice," the Pattaya newspaper reported.

Email Community Staff from Steve Carlson, CEO Community Medical Center
Dear Community Team Members,
Firstly, I would like to extend my gratitude to our Community staff, who have been very patient during these joint venture negotiations.
After a year of exploring the very complex issue before the board, the Community Medical Center Board of has voted to partner with with the Billings Clinic and Regional Care Hospital Partners of Brentwood Tennessee.
As a member of a new joint venture wholly owned by the Billings Clinic and Regional Care, Community intends to partner with providers that have the strength and experience needed to assist us in accomplishing our objectives which include:
· Lowering the cost of care to our patients.
· Continuing the development of centers of excellence and fostering the development of specialty services.
· Attracting and retaining a high quality medical staff.
· Increasing service levels in existing programs.
· Positioning Community to offer new models of care.
· Making necessary capital investments in new technology.
· Continuing to improve balance sheet financial strength.
While it was a difficult decision, the board strongly believes that entering into a joint venture with another regional community hospital will provide western Montana with the greatest opportunity to continue the historical mission of Community Medical Center.
Input from our community, medical providers and employees at Community all played a key role in the board's decision. Missoula's commitment to Community, our mission, employees and the patients we serve was recognized as a core strength of our institution.
Ultimately, we believe that partnering with an independent organization preserves for the community the greatest opportunity for choice and health care options in the future. While we make choice for health care in our community a priority, we look forward to continuing the strong collaborative relationships with all local health care providers.
A new joint venture will surely bring about changes and we know our team will have questions. We will do our best to be available to our leaders and staff and navigate our way as we solidify this new relationship.

Flyers shut down Bruins to force Game 7
|05.12.10 at 10:37 pm ET
Summary — The Flyers became only the sixth team in NHL history to come back from a 3-0 series deficit to force a Game 7 as they beat Boston 2-1 at Wachovia Center in Game 6 of their Stanley Cup semifinal series. Michael Leighton got his first career playoff start and made 30 saves as the Bruins could not end their sudden scoring woes. Tuukka Rask was not up to the task to close out the Flyers for the third straight game as he allowed two goals on 27 Philadelphia shots.
The Flyers continued their charge with their sixth consecutive goal in the series as they opened the scoring at 6:58 in the first period. Simon Gagne put the puck on Rask who made the initial save, but Daniel Carcillo crashed the crease and prevented Johnny Boychuk from clearing the rebound. The puck squirted into the slot where Mike Richards was there to clean up the mess and Philadelphia had an early lead once again.
Danny Briere put the Flyers up by two goals at 16:20 in the second period on the power play as the Flyers had a 4-on-3 advantage with Marc Savard, Daniel Paille in the box for the Bruins and Chris Pronger for Philadelphia. Briere crossed through the slot and let a wrist shot off that Rask got a piece of with his chest and arm but still got through to make it 2-0 heading into the third period.
With Rask on the bench in the final two minutes of play the Bruins pressed the 6-on-5 advantage and Milan Lucic banged home a rebound with 1:00 remaining on the clock to make the final minute of play tense but Leighton was able to hold on. The goal snapped 134:12 of scoreless play from the Bruins as they had not scored since the final minute of Game 4 when Mark Recchi forced overtime.
Three Stars
Mike Richards — Scored the opening goal and assisted on the second to pace the Flyers attack.
Michael Leighton — Withstood the Bruins second period pressure and delivered a win to Philadelphia to push the Bruins to a Game 7.
Matt Carle — The oft-overlooked defenseman paired with Chris Pronger had six blocked shots to keep the puck from getting to Leighton's crease. Carle also has a plus-6 rating for the series.
Turning Point — Briere's goal. The Bruins spent most of the second period in the Flyers zone but started taking penalties starting a high-stick by Savard at 15:15 and then a Paille elbow at 15:49. Pronger checked Zdeno Chara at the top of the crease and went for interference and the Flyers wasted no time in the 4-0n-3 as Briere used Rask as a pinball flipper to stop any momentum the Bruins had gained.
Key Play — Leighton made a save on a Mark Stuart shot early in the third period off his shoulder and Miroslav Satan crashed the net but was unable to slam the puck through the crease and a chance for the Bruins to make it a one-goal game was snuffed out. Boston would go on the power play a few minutes later when Matt Carle went for tripping at 5:15 but could muster nothing as the Flyers were aggressive at the point of attack to thwart the chance.

PARIS (AP) -- Olympic runners-up Pang Qing and Tong Jian won the pairs at the Trophee Bompard for the first time on Saturday.
The veteran pair had the best score in the free skate to secure a total of 193.86 points. World bronze medalists Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford of Canada finished second with 190.89.
''I was very excited because we got the gold medal,'' the 34-year-old Tong said. ''This gold is very important for us because it's our final season.''
By finishing second, the Canadians secured their place in the Grand Prix Final, which features the top six skaters in each category.
Americans Caydee Denney and John Coughlin took the bronze medal with 184.01 after overtaking Russians Vera Bazarova and Yuri Larionov, who were third after the short program.
Coughlin was impressed by the boisterous crowd.
''I didn't realize how noisy it would be, it was like a soccer crowd out there,'' he said.
Duhamel hopes to finally win in Paris one day.
''I've got two bronze and two silvers here and I want to win the gold, so hopefully they'll invite us back,'' the Canadian said.
Later, three-time world champion Patrick Chan, defending champion Ashley Wagner and ice dance Olympic champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir were set to defend their overnight leads.

Mommy makeover with breast reduction due to awful asymmetry, bbl,and lipo of arms, flanks,lower back, bra rolls/love handles all in one day. The question is will I be ok???? I know recovery will be hard and I will have a lot of help.i want to get it all out of the way and leave it all behind me. I hear sleeping on ur side raises your TT scar and causes slower healing??? I don't wanna compromise any successful healing. Help
Too Many Procedures in One Day?
Doctor Answers 15
Tummy Tuck and Breast Reduction First then Lipo and Brazilian Buttlift
I will perform about as many surgical procedures at one time as anyone, and I would not perform all of those at once. I would recommend tummy tuck and Breast Reduction First, then Lipo and Brazilian Buttlift.
Depends on the opinion of your surgeon
However, in my opinion, I would not perform all of these procedures in one day.
Web reference: http://www.myplasticsurgeon.ca/
Multiple procedures can be performed
A mommy makeover can be performed safely. Most surgeons will recommend the length of the procedure not to exceed 6 hours. If your surgeon feels that the procedure can be finished in that time frame, than you are OK. Otherwise, I would perform these procedures in 2 separate procedures about 3-6 months apart.
You might also like...
Multiple procedures
There are couple considerations for multiple procedures done at the same time. Obviously, the safety should be our number one concern. With several procedures, the operative time could be very long. As operative time gets longer, complication rate (infection, bleeding) becomes higher. In addition, your recovery will be tougher with so many surgeries all over your body. Some patients may want multiple surgery in one session to avoid multiple recovery. However, it will be best to limit surgery so that the operative time is less than 6-8 hours.
Multiple procedures
I do not like to combine too many procedures at once. It makes your recovery a lot harder and longer. It is better to stage them
Multiple procedures in one day
It's certainly doable but probably with added risks to perform all the above procedures at once. Are you planning to recover at home or stay in hospital after the surgery. I will probably recommend that you stage the procedures in two sessions. This will limit the operating time to 6 hours or less, decrease risks of blood loss, and safely recovering at home instead of hospital.
Best Wishes,
Combination possible, if requirements met
Thank you for your question. As some of the colleagues have stated, it is possible to have combined surgery in safe conditions, but you have to make sure that your doctor knows the threshold of what can and can't be done.
In my case, if the breast reduction is large, I don't combine it with TT, as the risks of bleeding and prolonged surgery are too many risks to add them all up. If it was just a lift or a small reduction, than you can go for it, on a case by case basis (the pre-op consultation is basic, so that you can have a real idea of the estimated surgical time).
Please consult your board certified plastic surgeon before making your final decision. Good luck!
Combining multiple procedures
There are many advantages to combining multiple procedures as you are describing. These include saving money, minimizing your exposures to multiple anesthetics, and decreasing the amount of times you have to take off work to recover. There are potential health risks; however, including increased cardiovascular stress, prolonged exposure to anesthesia, significant swelling and blood pressure changes and increased risks of blood clots. The decision to combine multiple procedures must be made carefully in conjunction with your surgeon. In your case, it will depend on your baseline health, your cardiovascular health, your pain tolerance, the amount of fat to be removed, and the skill of your surgeon and anesthesiologist. The combination of the procedures you listed would be safe for some patients but definitely not for others. I would discuss this with your surgeon further if you are worried. Good luck.
Web reference: http://www.northtexasplasticsurgery.com/news/what-should-my-mommy-makeover-consist-of-2/
Too much surgery?
Long surgeries have more complications. The list of potential complications include infection, delayed healing, bleeding, and even blood clots in your veins that could be fatal. DIscuss how long your proposed surgery will be with your surgeon. Sometimes operative times can be reduced with the aid of multiple plastic surgeons. I try to limit general anesthesia surgery to 4 or at most 5 hours. Usually the breast surgery and tummy tuck can be completed during this time. My advice is to strongly consider two surgeries.
Extensive Body Contouring - One vs Two Stages?
Basically what you are asking is should a tummy tuck, breast reduction, liposuction of multiple body areas and injection of fat into the buttocks be done all in one operation. While that is certainly a tremendous amount of body surgery, there are numerous factors involved that determines the magnitude of any of these proposed procedures. How much liposuction in volume? Is it a full or mini-tummy tuck? What is your general health, age and body weight? All those issues aside, it is better from a safety standpoint to divide this palette of procedures into two stages; buttock augmentation with liposuction followed by the breast reduction and full tummy tuck.

2012 story: Las Cruces man charged with child abuse in April death of boy
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - A Las Cruces man has been arrested and charged with intentional child abuse following an investigation into the April 2012 death of a 21-month-old boy.
Dustin M. Castillo, 27, of 1207 Kansas Ave., has been charged with one first-degree felony count of intentional child abuse resulting in death. He was arrested Thursday afternoon.
Shortly before 8 p.m. on April 20, Las Cruces Police were sent to the 1200 block of Davis Avenue to check out a report of an unresponsive child. Officers found Castillo holding a small child later identified as Mariano Hernandez.
According to police, Castillo told officers that he was home that evening and drove Mariano to a relative's residence when, along the way, the child began choking on a chewable Jolly Rancher candy.
Police said that Hernandez explained to detectives that he patted Mariano's back and tried to dislodge the candy from the boy's mouth, but the boy became unresponsive. Castillo and his relative said they attempted CPR on the young child until officers, firefighters and EMS arrived.
Mariano was transported to a Las Cruces hospital and subsequently to University Medical Center of El Paso, where he died on April 22.
The investigation by Las Cruces Police detectives and medical investigators revealed that Mariano had severe head trauma, including bleeding and swelling of the brain, a fracture to the base of his skull, bruising to the top of his head, a lacerated spleen and other injuries that were not consistent with attempts to resuscitate a child, according to police.
"We had a very thorough and extensive investigation including the Las Cruces police detectives, investigators from the district attorney's office and the office of medical investigators, and that investigation has revealed the injuries to the child were not consistent with resuscitating or reviving a child," Las Cruces Police Department spokesman Dan Trujillo said.
Detectives also determined that Castillo is the only one who had contact with Mariano during the period his injuries were likely inflicted, according to police.
Detectives learned that Castillo and Mariano Hernandez are not related but that Castillo was friends with relatives of the child and had been caring for the young boy and his older sister, age 3, for six to seven months. Detectives discovered that the biological parents of the children had relinquished custody of Mariano and his sister.
ABC-7's New Mexico Mobile Newsroom spoke with Castillo's uncle, Victor Castillo.
"I just feel they're not giving him a chance. He did love those kids dearly and I don't believe that he had anything to do with the death of the little boy," he said.
Victor Castillo said his nephew didn't do anything wrong.
"It's taken a lot of toll on his life also. He's in a state right now, I guess, where he's just hurting. He's been hurting ever since then," Victor Castillo said.
Castillo was booked into the Dona Ana County Detention Center with a cash-only bond set at $250,000.

BCS Selection Show Event Announced for Sunday at Fifth Third Arena
Dec. 3, 2008
CINCINNATI – On Sunday, Dec. 7, Cincinnati Bearcats' fans are invited to Fifth Third Arena for a special Bowl Championship Series (BCS) Selection Show event, the Department of Athletics announced today. The event is open to the public with the doors of Fifth Third opening at 6:30 p.m. The official BSC Selection Show begins at 8 p.m. and will be televised nationally on FOX.
During the broadcast, head coach Brian Kelly and the football team will make a live appearance on the FOX selection special. Also on display will be the four trophies won so far by this year's team:
· The Victory Bell, 45-20 win over Miami (OH)
· The Keg of Nails, 28-20 win over Louisville
· The River City Rivalry Trophy, 28-21 win over Pittsburgh
· The BIG EAST Championship Trophy, 6-1 finish in league play
The Bearcats assured themselves of a slot in a BCS Bowl this past weekend as they clinched their first outright league title since 1964, knocking off Syracuse, 30-10, in front of 34,603 fans at Nippert Stadium Saturday. Cincinnati (10-2, 6-1 BIG EAST) also tied the school record for wins and earned the first back-to-back 10-win season in program history.
UC, ranked No. 13 in the latest Associated Press poll, tied its highest ever ranking in the AP poll, dating back to Nov. 1, 1954. The Bearcats No. 12 standing in the latest USA Today poll tops its best mark of No. 16, achieved a week ago.
The Bearcats close out the regular season on Dec. 6, heading to Hawai'i to take on the Warriors in Aloha Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 11:30 p.m. EST and the game will air on ESPN2.
Fans interested in attending the Bearcats first BCS Bowl game, can purchase $50 bowl ticket credits now by calling the UC Athletics Ticket Office at 1-877-CATS-TIX or by going online at www.CATSTIX.com.

I've always been one of those people who want to share cool stuff I've found, and there's a ton of it that swirls thru my head all the time.
A few years back I thought, there must be a way to build a website so I can share with people stuff that I get excited about.
I ran across the video blog Crash Test Kitchen, and the lightbulb went off in my head. I can do this.
So I put the video camera in my friend Bill's hand, and told him we were going to make a cooking show. We made puttanesca, and it was a blast. GardenFork was born.
GardenFork is this eclectic mix of DIY, Cooking, Gardening, Home Improvement, and whatever cool stuff I think might be fun to share with people.
I got an email recently that sums it up:
"I have never been interested in gardening, cooking, or home repair. But when a friend showed me your show for the first time, I was won over by your humor and trial-and-error way of making a DIY show. Now, I wait excitedly for the next video show or audio podcast. It is the most entertaining thing I watch, either on iTunes, or general television. You present a wealth of knowledge and I love finding out new things I didn't know before."
How cool is that? 'Down to earth' and 'eclectic' sum up most of the iTunes Reviews and emails I get from viewers.
"How did you learn all this stuff, did you take a class?"
I get this question all the time. No, no class; just learned by doing. Making lots of mistakes on the way.
My grandfather was a building superintendent in the South Bronx. My family has always been a DIY family, we never hired someone to fix something, we did it ourselves. It didn't always work perfectly, but we didn't have the money to hire repair people. In grade school my father's job was transferred to Wisconsin, where I learned about hunting, fishing, camping, and tree felling.
My family has a love for home cooked food, both my parents cook, and I started cooking at an early age.
I produce and host GardenFork.TV and GardenFork Radio, and Real World Green.
GardenFork.TV is the original web video show about cooking, DIY, gardening, Home Improvement and other fun stuff. Each week we make a video and post it on our site, our iTunes page, and our YouTube channel.
Gardenfork Radio is a weekly audio podcast available on our site and on iTunes. I started GardenFork Radio to talk about all the neat stuff that doesn't make it into a GardenFork video show.
Real World Green is a web video show about how we as individuals can reduce our impact on the earth in practical, down-to-earth ways. I started Real World Green as an answer to all the touchy-feely green content out there that turns off the average guy who lives in the Midwest. Practical is the key word here, and I think if you don't lecture people, but show them how they can be greener and more than likely save money, they will listen. A viewer sums it up:
"I continually consume information about global warming, greenhouse gases and all the other buzzword-compliant environmental topics but hardly any of them tell me what I can do now – today – to really make a difference without my having to do my own research. Real World Green does that"
I'm all about the learn by doing method of life, I don't know how to do a lot of stuff, but I try anyway. Many times I make a GardenFork video about it while I stumble through something.
During the week I work as a contractor in New York City, and on the weekend, we shoot GardenFork at our little house up in Northwest Connecticut, which I'm renovating on the 10 year plan.
There you go. A brief rundown of what this is all about. Contact me with any questions. email@example.com
Thanks, eric.

Top 20 Conspiracy Theories That Have Already Sprung Up Around President Obama's Birth Certificate
Well, that didn't take long. All of the purported inconsistencies and mysterious anomalies with President Obama's long form birth certificate. And this is only within the first few hours of the document's release. Give the Birthers a few days to come up with some really juicy stuff. Between this and the conspiracy theories about Osama bin Laden's death, they're going to be very busy.
1. The patterned background is too seamless for a document kept in a bound volume.
2. The "Date Accepted" is four days later than "Date of Birth."
3. Smudges in box next to name of attendant.
4. M.D. who signed the document conveniently died eight years ago.
5. Two mysterious Xs above "twin" and "triplet."
6. Unexplained "8991" on document's right side.
7. "41" at to right of document looks suspicious.
8. Birth certificate of someone born at the same hospital a day later has a lower number.
9. There is no official seal.
10. Still says "Certificate of Live Birth."
11. Instead of "African" under father's race, "Colored" or "Negro" would have been used in 1961.
12. The type for "Caucasian" is too perfect, not possible for a typewriter from 1961.
13. No footprint.
14. No birth weight.
15. Signature of mother and attendant are too similar.
16. Under hour of birth, the "M." in "P.M." is a different font.
17. Address for Obama's childhood home is the middle of a highway.
18. Hawaii's Governor until recently claimed there was no birth certificate.
19. Obviously Photoshopped. Layers!
20. We all know his real name is Barry Saetoro and he changed his name to Barack Obama after visiting Pakistan.
All of these theories have been culled from The Smoking Gun's article on the birth certificate and the resulting comments.
- Ariana Grande announced she will return to Manchester to hold a benefit show for the victims of the terror attack at her concert.
- Hillary Clinton slammed Donald Trump in her address to Wellesley College, comparing him to Richard Nixon and mocking his obsession with crowd sizes.
- Republican Greg Gianforte has won a special House election in Montana. He's the one who allegedly body-slammed a reporter.
- Abusers will be able to track their victims thanks to the Trump administration's online database of asylum-seekers, warn immigration activists.

(NEW YORK) — Fiscal cliff fears may lead to a major sell off Friday on Wall Street.
After the Republican revolt in the House on Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner was forced to abandon his plan to avert tax increases for most Americans.
As a result, Asian stock markets were down sharply overnight. European markets were also trading lower on Friday, while U.S. stock futures were in the red ahead of the opening bell.
Many business leaders warn the longer it takes to deal with taxes and spending, the greater the harm will be to the economy.
Coming into Friday's trading session, stocks are higher for the week. The day before, the Dow rose 60 points to 13,312, while the Nasdaq gained six points and the S&P added eight.

Do we have a long list of Norris contenders? Weber! Not sure if he's having a norris like year. Keith seems to be playing the best right now out of all our TOP 7. Is AP in the running this year? I don't think so. Is Doughty in the running this year? Not that it means anything in the long run, but based on my rankings I have Canada ranked only slightly higher than the US, by only the slightest of margins. But that's only because of Crosby Stamkos and Giroux (arguably 3 of the Top 5 players in the league on any given night) That's the difference.

Motorcycle madman Jesse James has unofficially broken the land speed record for a hydrogen-powered vehicle, and he did it in a car that packs modern technology into a vintage racer more than 40 years old.
The guy behind West Coast Choppers blazed across El Mirage Dry Lake Bed at 199.7 mph in a car he claims he spent "a couple million bucks" building. He'd been toying with the idea of an alt-fuel racer, but rather than start from scratch — as BMW did with the slick H2R racer that previously held the record — he modified a '60s-era streamliner to run on gaseous hydrogen.
"I think it's way cooler to take an old hunk of shit that many considered useless and make it haul ass," James told Wired.com. "It has built-in soul and history. Plus, it's recycling."
That hunk of shit is a somewhat historic machine called the Dees Milodon Engineering – Davis B streamliner, and it is no stranger to the salt. The car once hit 237 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats using a Chrysler engine, and James says it set a record for a front-wheel-drive vehicle. It hadn't seen action for awhile, and when James first saw the car it was hanging in a friend's shop.
"I always loved the way it looked," James said. "Kinda like an evil flying saucer."
After getting some design help from renowned land speed racer Mike Cook, the crew at West Coast Choppers lengthened the car 24 inches and brought the frame and suspension up to modern safety specs. James handled all the bodywork himself, then called on engine expert Kurt Urban to help develop the powerplant.
They went a bit nuts, building a 572-cubic-inch twin-turbo Chevrolet engine that produces prodigious power.
"BMW set the record with liquid hydrogen, which is way easier to make a motor run on but it will never be practical for everyday cars," James told us. "The engine produces 780 horsepower and 900 foot-pounds of torque. That's some serious power from the world's most plentiful resource."
A Liberty airshifted 5-speed transmission and a Winters quick-change differential round out the drivetrain. The hydrogen is stored at 5,000 PSI in three tanks built by Quantum Technologies — the same outfit developing the plug-in electric drivetrain for Fisker Automotive.
"It sounds like an iron lung when it's working," James said.
James fired up the engine for the first time at 12:45 a.m. on June 8. He says sounds "like a real race car, just done in a non-ozone-killing way." (Judge for yourself by watching a video posted here.)
By that point, the only thing left to do was suit up, get in and hold on. James made his record-setting run on Tuesday and taped it for his TV show "Jesse James Is A Dead Man." He fell just short of his goal of 200 mph, but it was enough to top the 186.52 mph record BMW held. The speed was confirmed by the Southern California Timing Association, a sanctioning body for land speed racing .
So why did a guy known for building customized motorcycles decide to go alt-fuel racing?
"I'm not so blinded by the things I build that I can't see change is needed," he said. "I'm in love with anything with wheels and a big engine. I hope my son will be able to love the same things. They'll just be running on a different kind of gas."
The episode featuring James' record run will air Aug. 9.
UPDATE, 12:10 p.m. ET June 19: Roy Creel, president of the Southern California Timing Association, sent this note to correct a point in the original post:
The SCTA (Southern Calif. Timing Association) was neither involved in, nor did we confirm Mr Jame's "record." In fact, Mr James did not set any record. What he did accomplish was to exceed an existing record speed previously set by BMW. His private timing event was timed by the same folks that time SCTA events and the course was set up by the same folks who set SCTA courses.
UPDATE, 3:45 p.m. Eastern June 26: Add "LandSpeed" Louise Ann Noeth to the list of people saying James didn't set a record. She's a racer and journalist who's been covering land speed racing for the past decade, and she's beyond peeved by all the attention James is getting. She sent us an email calling him "a liar and a cheat when it comes to claiming a world record." She says his claim "is without merit since the activities were conducted without benefit of any motorsports sanctioning authority."
"Mr. James efforts count for absolutely nothing on the world motorsports stage and amount to little more than a self-promoting 'TV racer' PR stunt since he chose to ignore the sport's sanctioning rules that have applied to all records certified for the past 80 years," she wrote.
We suspect Jesse James doesn't care one way or the other.

Technical Abstract: This study investigated the responses of metabolites and soluble leaf proteins to plant growth in elevated carbon dioxide. Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia ecotype) plants were grown in controlled environment chambers with ambient (35 Pa) and elevated (100 Pa) carbon dioxide, 0.3 mmol m-2 s-1 PPFD and with a 16-h light/8-h dark photoperiod for 2- to 6-weeks. Starch and sucrose were increased by 57% and 30%, respectively, in rosettes of 6-week-old plants grown at elevated compared to ambient carbon dioxide. Biomass accumulation also was greater between 2- and 5-weeks in response to enhanced carbon dioxide, although this difference was not detected after 6-weeks growth. The elevated carbon dioxide treatment delayed flowering, such that flowering was observed for 52% and 100% of 4-week-old elevated and ambient carbon dioxide grown plants, respectively. Nitrate varied with plant age and fertility treatments, although mean nitrate levels were decreased 58% by carbon dioxide enrichment. Chlorophyll, the chlorophyll a/b ratio, carotenoids and total soluble protein levels did not differ between treatments. However, both the large and small subunit proteins of Rubisco were decreased and the overall profile of soluble proteins was altered by growth in elevated carbon dioxide after separation by 2-D gel electrophoresis. In agreement, total Rubisco activity decreased with plant age and also was lower in the elevated compared to the ambient carbon dioxide treatment. The above results demonstrated that N-limited senescence probably did not occur in the carbon dioxide enriched plants. Nevertheless, large alterations in individual proteins were detected between the two carbon dioxide treatments.

The really confusing thing about the Touch Plus, is that although it has the addition of 3G/HSDPA support, it has lost the Wi-Fi functionality that was present in the original Touch. This is something of a disappointment, and I can't understand why HTC would take such a route. I love having Wi-Fi in a smartphone, as it means that as soon as I get home or to the office it connects, and if I want to quickly look something up online I can do it via my phone. This is especially useful at home, where I'm not sitting in front of a computer all day - if I want to check something online, I simply whip my iPhone out of my pocket and check using a fast Wi-Fi broadband connection.
Wi-Fi may be missing but at least Bluetooth is still there, so you'll have no problem using a Bluetooth headset or an in-car hands free kit. You could also use Bluetooth headphones like the Etymotic Research ety8s that I reviewed last August. In fact, investing in a pair of ety8s would be a good idea, since yet again HTC hasn't seen fit to include a 3.5mm headphone jack.
In the box you'll find the Touch Plus, a wired hands free set, a carrying pouch and a mains charger. However, charging this device won't be a problem since the mini-USB connector means that you can charge it from any computer using a simple USB to mini-USB cable. Personally I think that everything should employ a mini-USB connector for charging, meaning that you only ever need one kind of cable or charger for all your devices. Unfortunately there's no bundled micro-SD card, but considering you can pick up a 1GB card for around £5 these days, that's not a major problem.
T-Mobile's Flext tariffs are widely regarded as some of the best available, and it's good to know that if you go for the £30 Flext 30 tariff, which gives you up to £180 of credit each month, you'll get the Touch Plus for free. And for an extra £7.50 you can get unlimited data on top of that, to make use of that fast HSDPA download speed. Being able to pickup the Touch Plus on a reasonable tariff for free makes it a pretty compelling proposition, and should attract a lot of buyers.
Despite being completely underwhelmed by the original Touch, the Touch Plus rights so many of those initial wrongs. The slide out keypad is a great addition, making it easy to bash out text and email messages without the need to resort to the stylus. The addition of 3G/HSDPA support is also a major bonus, and highlights the fact that this should have been there in the first place.
The tweaks that HTC has made to the TouchFLO interface are nice, but not overly important. More useful are features like the shortcut menu when you slide the phone open, which is bound to save users time. Yes, the lack of Wi-Fi is a definite annoyance, but I still feel that this is probably the most universally attractive Windows Mobile device yet to rear its head. It's as much as great looking and easy to use phone as it is a fully featured mobile device, and that has to be a good thing.

Our 4th and 5th grade Cougar Choir and the 5th grade Strings Project will perform on Thursday, December 12th, in the cafeteria at 6:30 p.m. The students will perform holiday music to help us get into the spirit of the season. We hope you can make it out!
Students in grades 3-5 will also get in the holiday spirit when the Hobby Middle School Fine Arts Department performs for them on Wednesday, December18th at 1:00 p.m. in the gym. We love it when the band, orchestra, and choir perform for us. It's so good to see the familiar faces of former Colonies North students. No doubt it will be a great performance that the students will surely enjoy.
Finally, on the last day of school before the break, December 20th, the 5th grade Choir members will be caroling down the halls of the school after the morning announcements spreading holiday cheer!
Happy Holidays, Everyone!
