LONDON - The outbreak of foot and mouth disease in southern England could effectively be over by the end of the week if no new cases emerge, but farmers must stay vigilant, one of Britain's top microbiologists says.
The highly infectious disease was found in livestock on two farms in Surrey, southern England, but tests on two other properties proved negative.
"If there's nothing more by the end of this coming week I think we can be pretty certain we are in the clear," Hugh Pennington, a bacteriology professor and one of Britain's leading food safety experts, told the BBC.
John Oxford, one of the country's leading virologists, also told the broadcaster the outbreak was in effect "over".
Pennington, however, said it was important not to relax protection and surveillance measures.
As a result of the outbreak, more than 570 animals have been destroyed and the European Union and individual countries have banned British meat and dairy exports.
Farmers say the trade curbs are costing them 1.8 million pounds ($4.9 million) a day.
A severe outbreak of foot and mouth disease in 2001 forced the slaughter of six million animals and inflicted billions of dollars of losses on farmers and the tourism industry, as much of the countryside was closed to visitors.
Inspectors are continuing to trace the potential source of the disease, with a research facility at Pirbright in Surrey that was developing foot and mouth disease seen as the probable source of the outbreak.
The centre is close to the two infected farms.
Chief veterinary officer Debby Reynolds has said all lines of inquiry were being pursued, including the possibility of deliberate contamination.
The Pirbright facility houses a government-run laboratory and a second lab Merial, owned by US firm Merck and French firm Sanofi-Aventis SA.
Results of a number of inquiries into the possible source of the disease, including tests to check whether it leaked through Merial's draining system, are expected in the coming days.
Pennington said there was "no other logical explanation" for the disease escaping other than from Pirbright.

"Many people in the world have a dream of 'getting away from it all' and escaping to their own private island. There is something enchanting about an island and in Scotland there are hundreds for the intrepid traveller to choose from. That said, not all have their own five star hotel with spa and golf course!

We are happy to share with you Ms Burkitt's Editor's pick for Aspire last week;
"Despite the excitement of spotting a kettle of sea eagles during the day, it was in fact the stacked cheese trolley which caused audible squeals when it rolled our way after dinner. Try Prince Charles's favourite Dunsyre Blue, or Loch Arbor if you can bear the smell of kippers.
You may blame this dairy indulgence for any subsequent dreams – but I can assure you the badgers (Bertie and Brock) who drop by the conservatory for bread and milk every night are real".

However the scheme does not stop a simply awarding a plaque but also offers feedback to business about where they could make a difference Scotland of Food & Drink is a website that helps businesses identify other potential producers which may currently be anonymous and unknown. We were delighted to not only be one of the first to be recognised but more imporantly that this recognition aligns so clearly with our principles. Hopefully the scheme will take off and be a great success and that will require the customers to grasp and support it too.

In August we welcomed Alice from Alice & Co to Eriska, traveling with her partner and journalist. She has included the west coast travels and the island life in her fashion blog! We even lent her the resident dogs Blue and Dibley for the shoot.
Alice & Co
With a career in theatre and costume design, Alice created Alice & Co after a trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway! Alice & Co was a made-to-measure clothing business for women that also offered colour and style consultations.
Now Alice & Co is suddenly 21 years old and has grown to include Designer Raincoats, which is devoted to magnificent macs made in bold PVC colours with a rich oriental brocade inside, and Madame Tra La La, which takes vintage clothes and remakes them to fit the modern woman.
Reading Alice's blog certainly gives us a few nifty ideas for travelling in style without too much luggage - in other words perfect for the weekend getaways and short breaks!

"In front is a croquet lawn, where swallows swoop and blackbirds hop, and round the corner a huge ancient oak tree with a swing seat plenty big enough for two".
Last week Eriska was featured in Cosmopolitan Online's 'Weekend - Breaks', by Suzanne King after having spent a few days at Eriska away from the city stress.
Recommended for couples to enjoy a weekend of spa luxury and time together in peace and quiet, dine in our award winning restaurant and enjoy wine's you wouldn't find on the ordinary wine list..
Or, a trip with the girls to come and explore the west coast with an exhilarating boat trip around Loch Linnhe with Coastal Connection (run by two very handsome twin brothers according to Ms King herself), to see dolphins, basking sharks and baby seals. Let's not forget that the spa would also be on the door step offering full day packages, treatment progreammes and other finishing touches, for you to feel transformed and ready for a luxurious meal in our award-winning 3AA Rosette restaurant accompanied with wine's for every taste.
Or, for the perfect 'mother & daughter' excursions. See what Karen Bowerman had to say about her mother & daughter weekend at Eriska.

We hope you've all had a fantastic June! It has been rather wet and windy at Eriska the last few weeks as we have come into July. As some of you may know, our 40th anniversary is this month and I sat reminiscing with my mother about when we first arrived to Eriska. Although me and Chay arrived two days later, my parents very first day on the island was quite a memorable experience looking nothing like the 5 star property it is today:
"1st July 1973... it was a rainy day and the rain seemed to get even heavier as we approached Eriska and more importantly opened a new chapter in our lives. The drive was overgrown and the bushed brushed the sides of the car as we rounded the bend and saw the 'Big house' before us. The lawn was waist high in grass and it looked, and more importantly felt, a very different place from the one we had viewed and visited earlier in the year. It was now in our stewardship to look after Eriska and we were so excited and full of anticipation but most of all dreams, for the challenges lying ahead of us.
Opening the large front door with a massive key, one's dreams were faltering and illusions changed as the house was cold, empty, and unlived but most surprisingly it did not feel unfriendly or scary, just a bit daunting! we set off for a look through all the rooms... the kitchen had not been used for 18 years but a stove had been placed in the morning room, now the dining room with the wallpaper hanging off the walls. Upstairs, only one bathroom was operational with running water - it was time to again reflect on what we had taken on!
We set about getting some furniture carried from Lilac Cottage, where we had been allowed to store it prior to our official arrival, to the main house. A bed, an electric heater and small table were carried to Kerrera on the first floor, then as the sun began to set, Robin took to his bed having arrived with a bad bout of flu and now forced to succumb. During the night, we had to place a bin under the light in the bedroom as the rain began to drip off the light bulb and the house began to feel empty - we realised we were very much alone!
Downstairs the Library, which was the only other room with a chair and the smallest room to try and heat, I pulled back the cardboard covering the fireplace and to my amazement uncovered four logs in the grate. I managed to light them, only for it to last 5 minutes as the wood was so dry, but the lack of smoke at least proved that the chimney was functioning. Thankfully, I then managed to find a store of logs outside in a garage and got a bit more heat from it, and certainly a more welcoming feel to the house, as well as the chance to think about preparing a meal which ironically due to the time and lack of implements turned out to be a picking in the middle of the floor with a hot drink for the patient upstairs.
So ended the first day on Eriska and so began both our new future and new page in the history of this wonderful island, and as if by magic, the next day saw the end of rain as the dawn brought bright sunshine with not a cloud in the sky and with it, the real work could begin."

I've heard that with a TBH I should rarely if ever need to use smoke. This morning I went to look at the swarm that I hived 5 days ago and I'm already beginning to doubt that idea. All I did was spread the bars about 1/4" to see if the combs the bees were building were lining up with the bars. But even with that small of an opening the bees just came boiling out and it was difficult to close the gaps without crushing anyone.
Should I have used a smoker or is this more a matter of bad technique on my part?

Call the Midwife - Season 1 Episodes
Call the Midwife - Season 1
Call the Midwife is based on the best selling memoirs of Jennifer Worth. Set in the 1950s, this six part series is a moving and intimate insight into the colorful world of midwifery and family life in London's East End. We are introduced to the local community through the eyes of young nurse Jenny Lee as she lives and works as a midwife alongside the Nuns of the Order of St. Raymond of Nonnatus.
"Episode 1"
In 1957 newly-qualified but naive midwife Jenny Lee comes to work in London's East end to work with an order of nursing nuns when she had been expecting a hospital as a base. Whilst pleased to have helped no nonsense Sister Evangelina deliver her first baby she is shocked by the poverty of her clients,terming the women 'heroines'. She is especially concerned for Conchita Warren,a Spanish former child bride,who speaks no English and is about to give birth for the twenty-fourth time. When Conchita falls down,inducing early labour, Jenny is thrown in at the deep end to deliver the baby on her own but wins praise from the doctors for her successful work.
"Episode 2"
Gangling,clumsy 'Chummy' Browne comes to the convent to gain experience before leaving for Africa as a missionary and is mistrusted by Sister Evangelina because of her upper class background. Nonetheless,on her first solo job,a difficult breach birth,she proves to be an excellent midwife and wins local respect. Jenny befriends pregnant Irish runaway Mary's whom convent head Sister Julienne places in a Catholic home for unmarried mothers where she has a daughter.Jenny is shocked to learn that Mary was only fifteen and,as a result, the child was given away for adoption without her consent.
"Episode 3"
Given district nursing duties Jenny meets and befriends old soldier Joe Collett,whose ulcerated legs make him a prisoner in his squalid tenement flat. Having allowed homeless old flame Jimmy to sleep in the convent boiler room Jenny gets him to help her take Joe to an army reunion but the flats are shortly demolished as uninhabitable and Joe ends up in an inefficient care home where he dies,leaving Jenny his few belongings. Her colleagues Trixie and Cynthia attend to middle-aged Winnie and Ted,both on their second marriage but,unlike the childless Ted, Winnie,who has three children of her own,is not looking forward to the baby's birth. After delivering the child the nurses see why but Ted is so elated that he is forgiving. Chummy meanwhile goes on a date with local policeman Peter Noakes.
"Episode 4"
Margaret Jones moves into the area with husband David and Cynthia becomes her midwife. Sadly Margaret contracts pre-eclampsia which seals the fate of herself and her child and Cynthia is deeply moved by David's devotion to his wife. Baby Gillian Redmond is snatched from her pram and everybody in the locality sets out to search for her. Ultimately Jenny is instrumental in her retrieval though the encounter with the culprit is painful for her. At least Jenny gets to go dancing with Jimmy and the other nurses including Chummy and her policeman beau.
"Episode 5"
Peggy,the nurses' cleaner,tells them her brother Frank is ill. In fact he is dying of pancreatic cancer but refuses hospital admission as he and his sister were raised in a work-house and he has a fear of all institutions. Visiting their house Jenny is shocked to find that they share a bed but Sister Julienne does not condemn this, recognizing the mutual love and dependency the couple share,even unto death. Chummy,having won over hecklers at her contraceptive demonstration, prepares to meet Peter Noakes' mother but they end up helping handyman Fred deliver his pig's litter.
"Episode 6"
Sister Monica Joan is accused of theft, and Chummy's mother pays her a visit.

Would appreciate referrals for high quality body shop in MD.
I don't know any as I am not local to you.
What kind of work do you need done? I still may be able to help.
Repair of front fender. Live near to DC/NOVA so these also possible.
Can you upload a pic? I can tell you if it's a job that you can either tackle yourself. Or give you a rough estimate of what it's gonna cost you to be repaired.
IAG Performance in Westminster, MD has an awesome body shop. I had my rear end damage (fender bender, wasn't my fault) repaired there and it looks absolutely perfect.
I've seen his car in person since. They truly do, do great work.
Thank you all- I will check out the recommendation.

A total of six Hawke's Bay sites have been given a "very poor" rating by a national report outlining the suitability for swimming in New Zealand waterways.
The report, along with another reviewing river quality conditions, was completed by the Ministry for the Environment this week. The indicator reports were used as an avenue to inform the public on water quality for recreational activities and the health of rivers.
The indicator report provided a summary of monitored swimming sites and reflected a precautionary approach to managing public health risks. Even a very small risk would be flagged through a lower grading.
Hawke's Bay Regional Council said six coastal sites in the region had been flagged as having the best suitability for swimming.
These included Aramoana, Blackhead Beach, Ocean Beach, Porangahau Beach, Pourerere Beach and Westshore Beach.
The indicator flagged six other Hawke's Bay sites as having "very poor" suitability for recreation.
These waterways included Lake Tutira, Clive River, Porangahau Estuary, Puhokio Stream, Waipuka Stream, and Waipatiki Lagoon.
Regional council senior scientist, coastal quality, Anna Madarasz-Smith said the "very poor" sites could be influenced by faecal contamination, which may come from rural or urban run-off, or dense populations of birdlife.
"Lagoons generally have a lower water quality because they are often shallow, with reduced water flow, warmer water and attract birdlife.
"Lake Tutira has had persistent problems this season, most notably algal blooms that were present for much of the summer."
Minister for the Environment Amy Adams said the river condition indicator was based on data collected across more than 300 regional council and NIWA-monitored sites over a 10-year period (2000-2010), out of the tens of thousands of waterways across New Zealand.
The report showed overall concentrations of nutrients and bacteria were either stable or improving at most monitored sites, and water quality was generally improving.
The swimming suitability indicator showed many swimming spots were affected in wet weather as a result of stormwater run-off. At some sites, heavy rain and wind can churn up sediment from the bottom of the waterway, releasing pathogens back into the water. Other common sources of water pollution are urban stormwater systems, livestock, fertilisers and dense populations of wildlife.

Zimbabwe tour could be farce: Flower
Page Tools
Zimbabwe's most capped cricketer has warned Australia to prepare for a "farcical" tour of the African nation next month following the sacking of 12 senior white players over the weekend and threats of further walkouts.
According to Grant Flower, the Zimbabwean Cricket Union's decision to axe the likes of Stuart Carlisle, Craig Wishart and Ray Price, supposedly for not playing in a recent round of domestic matches, has threatened the legitimacy of Australia's tour and Zimbabwe's status as a Test-playing nation.
Cricket Australia officials pledged to monitor Sri Lanka's tour of Zimbabwe this month, but remained committed to Australia's visit provided players' safety was not threatened.
Flower believed the series could inflict irreparable damage on Zimbabwe's already dented reputation as a cricketing force.
"(The ZCU) think that cricket will carry on regardless and they may as well have 11 black players on the field," said Flower, a 67-Test veteran. "I think the Australian tour could prove farcical. There's a very good possibility that we could lose Test and one-day status, but our board thinks otherwise. They think we'll lose these games anyway, regardless of who plays.
"All we know at this stage is that Heath Streak has definitely been fired from the captaincy, but is allowed to keep going as a player. Now we're hearing that some guys who were supposed to play for Mashonaland have been sacked, but haven't been phoned by the board. Under the current conditions, all our guys have had enough."
Streak was sacked from the national captaincy after presenting a list of player demands to ZCU officials.
An undermanned team could be further eroded after Ozias Bvute, the ZCU board member charged with enforcing Zimbabwe's racial quota system, announced the sacking of 12 white players over the weekend, heightening the likelihood of further walkouts.
Meanwhile, Cricket Australia spokesman Peter Young confirmed that the volatile political climate in Zimbabwe would be monitored closely.
"Our position is to complete the tour so long as player safety isn't an issue," he said.
Sri Lanka's tour of Zimbabwe will begin on a contentious note, with the ICC set to release its findings on Muttiah Muralitharan's doosra later today. "If the report finds something, all he has to do is not bowl the doosra," said Sri Lanka coach John Dyson. "I've told him before, I think he bowls it too much."

Electric cars give power back to grid
By Jon Hurdle
NEWARK, Del. (Reuters) - At first glance, the Toyota Scion sitting in the University of Delaware parking lot looks like a normal boxy car.
But a second look shows it lacks a tailpipe, and has an electrical outlet set into the grille below the hood. Inside, the Scion's identity as an electric car is revealed by the lack of a fuel gauge, and by a dashboard display showing that it has used 54.3 kilowatt hours to drive 210 miles.
But this is no ordinary electric car because, in addition to recharging its battery when not being driven, it also gives power back to the grid.
Professor Willett Kempton, who is leading the university's Vehicle to Grid (V2G) program, believes electric car batteries will represent a vast, reliable source of energy for the grid in a future when the national power supply will increasingly rely on renewable but fluctuating sources like sun and wind.
"Because in future, electricity will come more and more from sources that fluctuate, we need some form of storage that can reliably supply the grid, and electric car batteries are the most cost-effective form of that," he said.
One typical electric car can put out more than 10 kilowatts, the average draw of 10 houses, according to university researchers, and the power is readily available, since cars are idle on average for 95 percent of each day.
Since 1997 the V2G program has been promoting the idea that electric or hybrid vehicles, if widely adopted, could give back to the grid during the many hours when they are not being driven. Continued...

Bardelys the Magnificent HTML version
20. The "Bravi" At Blagnac
I was glad to be in the open once more - glad of the movement, as I rode at the
head of my brave company along the bank of the Garonne and in the shade of
the golden, autumn-tinted trees.
I was in a measure angry with myself that I had driven such a bargain with
Roxalanne, in a measure angry with her that she had forced me to it by her
obstinacy. A fine gentleman I, on my soul, to have dubbed Chatellerault a cheat
for having done no worse than I had now brought myself to do! Yet, was it so?
No, I assured myself, it was not. A thousand times no! What I had done I had
done as much to win Roxalanne to me as to win her from her own
unreasonableness. In the days to come she should thank me for my harshness,
for that which now she perhaps accounted my unfairness.
Then, again, would I ask myself, was I very sure of this? And so the two
questions were flung the one against the other; my conscience divided itself into
two parties, and they waged a war that filled me with a depressing uncertainty.
In the end shame was overthrown, and I flung back my head with a snort of
assurance. I was doing no wrong. On the contrary, I was doing right - both by
myself and by Roxalanne. What matter that I was really cheating her? What
matter that I had said I would not leave Lavedan until I had her promise, whilst in
reality I had hurled my threat at Saint-Eustache that I would meet him at
Toulouse, and passed my word to the Vicomtesse that I would succour her
I gave no thought to the hidden threat with which Saint-Eustache had retorted
that from Lavedan to Toulouse was a distance of some twenty leagues. Had he
been a man of sterner purposes I might have been uneasy and on my guard. But
Saint-Eustache pshaw!
It is ill to underestimate an enemy, be he never so contemptible, and for my
disdain of the Chevalier I might have paid dearly had not Fortune - which of late
had been practising singular jests upon me after seemingly abandoning me,
returned to my aid at the last moment.
It was Saint-Eustache's purpose that I should never reach Toulouse alive, for in
all the world I was the one man he feared, the one man who would encompass
his undoing and destruction by a word. And so he had resolved and disposed
that I should be removed, and to accomplish this he had left a line of bravi along
the road I was to pass.

Goldman Sachs' Cohen Sees Value in Record-High Stocks
Value remains in the U.S. stock market even after the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (SPX) surged 25 percent this year to a record, according to Abby Joseph Cohen, a senior investment strategist at Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
Price-earnings ratios are lower now than the last time stocks were near these levels, Cohen said in a Bloomberg Radio interview with Tom Keene today. Janet Yellen is one of the finest policy analysts in the U.S. and deserves to be confirmed as the next chairman of the Federal Reserve, said Cohen. She forecasts the S&P 500 will reach 1,900 by the end of 2014, a 6.6 percent gain from today's close.
"Companies right now are increasingly enthusiastic about the dynamism in the economy," said Cohen. "There's value in the market right now. The U.S. economy will likely grow faster next year."
The S&P 500 today gained 0.8 percent to a record 1,782 in New York, surpassing a previous high set on Oct. 29 and heading for the steepest annual rally in a decade. Cohen's forecast for the gauge to reach 1,900 by the end of 2014 matches the median estimate in a Bloomberg news survey of strategists this month.
Gains in stocks have come as the Fed maintained its unprecedented stimulus. Yellen, nominated to be the next Fed chairman, said today that the economy and labor market are performing "far short of their potential" and must improve before the central bank can begin reducing its $85 billion in monthly asset purchases. The remarks are from testimony prepared for Yellen's nomination hearing tomorrow before the Senate Banking Committee.
The S&P 500 is trading at 16.1 times projected earnings, compared with a five-year average of 14 times, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Of the more than 450 index members that have reported earnings this season, 75 percent have posted profit that exceeded analysts' estimates, while 54 percent beat sales predictions, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

Weekend Staff Picks: Blossoms, Beats & Banjos
Here are some of the events WNYC staff members are checking out this weekend.
ALEC HAMILTON, assistant producer, WNYC News: A long family tradition for Alec involves dressing the youngest girl in a heirloom homemade lace dress, taking a picture and then passing the dress on to the next family member who has a baby girl. Alec will be among the cherry trees at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden on a photo shoot with her nearly one-year-old.
STEPHEN NESSEN, WNYC Reporter: Saturday is national Record Store Day and many independent shops in the NY area will be participating of this national event offering limited editions and re-releases of records, plus food and in store performances. As a record collector Stephen calls it, "an easter egg hunt for adults."
LIZ WEBER, senior manager, on-air and online fundraising: As a student of the banjo, Liz recommends the Brooklyn Folk Festival at The Bell House. Liz says one of the highlights this year is a sing-along salute to singer-songwriter Pete Seeger, who died at age 94 earlier this year.

Hi,My son has a 1990 Acura Vigor and he loves it. He was told that he can only use premium gas in it. With the price of gas now, he can't afford that. Since it's a 1990, does anyone know if it would be alright to use regular gas? He probably won't have the car for more than two years. thanks.
I have a copy of Consumer Guide Auto Series: Used Cars Rating Guide (1994 Edition).Quote from the book: "We averaged 21.5 mpg with manual; premium fuel is needed."You say it is a 1990 Vigor? My book rates 1984-1994 cars and according to the book, the Vigor made its debut in 1992.Your son should think about buying an econobox. They are cheaper to insure and cost little to run.

Remembering Juno: Lomography Remembers Canadians on D-Day2012-06-11 3 Share Tweet
On the eve of the 68th anniversary of the 1944 D-Day landings, Canadians remember those volunteer soldiers who gave their lives on the beaches of Normandy.
68 years ago today, the largest seaborne invasion force in history set out from the English shores towards the picturesque Normandy coast. Over 150,000 troops landed in one day, by air or sea, in the French countryside to begin the pushback against occupying Nazi forces.
These beaches are famous. Countless movies have been made relating the heroism and the horror of storming the beaches in the confusion and pandemonium of June 6 – only one about the Canadians so far. Americans revere Omaha and Utah Beaches, the British venerate Gold and Sword Beaches, and in between them all Canadians quietly honour Juno Beach.
The smallest force sent by the smallest population to the smallest of the beaches made history that cold, wet morning. Approximately 14,000 Canadian volunteers landed in the first waves with 10,000 reserves deployed before day's end. Even though losses of some first wave units reached 50% – the second highest on the beaches – the 3rd Canadian Infantry penetrated farther than any other Allied force.
In the days following D-Day the Allies were faced with even more difficult objectives. The Canadians in particular fought at length against elements of the 21st Panzer Division and the 12th SS Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth) Panzer Division, two of the toughest, most fanatic groups in the German Army.
While the Canadian 9th Brigade pushed to within 5km of the Caen objective, it took until July 5th for the Canadians to successfully take the nearby Carpiquet aerodrome and July 11th for British and Canadian forces to take Caen itself.
Normandy's coastline today is peaceful. Only empty shells of the once formidable Atlantic Wall remain, dotting the shores and beaches for 2,500km. Many have become key features of museums, like the Juno Beach Centre where I worked last summer. Hundreds of thousands of tourists flock to the beaches every year from all corners of the globe.
As the 68th anniversary of D-Day approaches this year I remember the people I met in France, be they tourists or locals, who paid their respects to the fallen Allied and German troops. I especially remember those who work at the beaches, as they prepare to welcome countless thousands of tourists, delegates, and veterans themselves.
It is an ever-smaller number of soldiers who return – today old men, frail from the passing of time but whose eyes betray the vivid memories of storming the beaches as if it were yesterday. For the Juno Beach Centre it is an especially sad year as their founder, Garth S. Webb, a Canadian volunteer who received the Meritorious Service Cross as a Lieutenant with the 14th Field Artillery, passed away last month. Fittingly, Mr. Webb passed away peacefully on May 8, 2012 – Victory in Europe Day. He was 93 years old.
340 Canadian volunteers were killed on Juno Beach, all of whom lay buried in Canadian war cemeteries in France. As the rest of the world remember their heroes, humble Canadians proudly honour the non-drafted, regular, everyman, volunteer soldiers who gave their lives on Juno Beach.

One hundred and two graduating medical students in the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine learned today where they will spend the next three to five years of their lives completing their residency training after receiving their medical degrees in May.
A long-standing tradition at medical schools nationwide, Match Day is a highly anticipated event. It is the day that medical students learn where they are heading as new doctors to receive advanced clinical training in a residency program.
Surrounded by friends and family in the Apollo Room of the Wright State University Student Union, each student anxiously awaited for his or her envelope to be drawn from a hopper by Dean Marjorie Bowman, M.D., M.P.A. The Wright State students were among more than 17,000 graduating medical students who participated in the annual rite of passage known as The Match in ceremonies at medical schools nationwide.
Depending on where they match, students will spend the next three to five years as residents receiving advanced training in a primary care field or one of dozens of medical specialties. Wright State students matched in outstanding programs in Dayton, throughout Ohio, and across the country, including the Cleveland Clinic, University of California at San Francisco, Duke University, the Mayo Clinic, University of Pennsylvania and New York Presbyterian-Columbia.
Almost half (45 percent) of the Wright State graduates will remain in Ohio during residency, and 20.3 percent will remain in the Dayton area. Close to half (48 percent) will enter a primary care field (Family Medicine: 8.8 percent; Internal Medicine: 14.7 percent; Internal Medicine/Pediatrics: 1 percent; Internal Medicine-Psychiatry: 1 percent; Pediatrics: 22.5 percent). The rest matched in 14 other specialties: Anesthesiology: 2.9 percent; Dermatology: 2.9 percent; Emergency Medicine: 6.9 percent; Neurology: 1.9 percent; Obstetrics and Gynecology: 3.9 percent; Ophthalmology: 2.9 percent; Orthopaedic Surgery: 3.9 percent; Otolaryngology: 2.9 percent; Pathology: 2.0 percent; Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation: 4.9 percent; Plastic Surgery: 1.0 percent; Psychiatry: 2.9 percent; Radiology: 3.9 percent; and Surgery: 8.8 percent.

The Council for European Palestinian Relations (CEPR) is a new organisation which has been established to encourage greater European intervention to secure a just and enduring peace settlement to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. As the conflict enters its seventh decade, the need for a more assertive European policy has become abundantly clear after the collapse of the US-brokered 'roadmap to peace.'
The absence of any effective restraint on Israel to meet its obligations under international law means that Israel's violations of Palestinian rights have been permitted to continue with impunity – while its military superiority has been secured. At the same time, the expropriation of more Palestinian land and each new settlement further diminishes the prospect of a two-state solution to the conflict.
The CEPR seeks to achieve a peace based on justice and the restoration of Palestinian rights in accordance with international law and international human rights law. CEPR organises delegations to Palestine so that parliamentarians can witness first-hand the situation confronting the Palestinians.
We facilitate dialogue and understanding between European, Palestinian and Arab parliamentarians and policy-makers in order to pursue policies that will promote peace and put an end to Palestinian suffering. In this spirit, we invite you to exchange with the CEPR in our quest for greater dialogue and understanding.
Dr. Arafat Shoukri
Director, CEPR

Everything was perfect. Except the breakfast at the attached restaurant was fairly expensive and the service was not superbre, but the hotel itself is a true pleasure to stay in.
Clean rooms, close to downtown Oakland, waterfront views. Thin walls and ceiling, could hear everything our upstairs neighbors were saying and doing, including peeing into the toilet! We were placed in a weird room right off the lobby and could hear people arriving and checking in. Was not worth the money we paid.
The room was incredibly dirty and the beds uncomfortable. To be specific there was an unflushed toilet with something not so pleasant upon our arrival into our room. Completely unacceptable. The television did not work either. I will NEVER stay at this hotel again.
The staff did a wonderful job. very friendly Parking and the cost to park no breakfast for guess
There is a shower only, no bath. The wall is thin. The noise were heared from the adjacent rooms or the passage. The room is narrow.
The only thing we liked is its location, right next to Jack London Square. The bathroom is tiny and outdated. no tub for my children. Advertised "city view" was actually view of the back alley/parking lot. $25 valet parking was mandatory, no self parking. not going to recommend or stay there again.
The location in Jack London Square, fairly spacious rooms Unexpected noise of the Amtrack as it passed very close to hotel
The location is nice, good restaurants within walking distance in the area. The staff was pleasant and helpful and the wine & cheese hour was a nice touch. Everything was great with the exception of the thin walls, which unfortunately makes it a deal breaker for me.
Balcony, view, color, staff, proximity to office. told it'd be $20 for valet, but valet told me $25. I was charged $20. train sucked.
It's been years since I've stayed at Jack London Square. It's definitely gone up a step. Waterfront Hotel is an easy access location - both for driving and the train. Great restaurants both right in the Square and a short stroll away. The rooms are clean and comfortable and it was surprisingly quiet even with all the events during our stay. The ONLY drawback was the hallway maze to our room. If we just followed the numbers we eventually got there...but no two paths were the same. Our coffee maker was broken but they delivered hot coffee to us immediately on request. The TV was also out but the cable was replaced while we were out for dinner. Perfect service.
Lovely evening meal at restaurant having a limo called for us when we had asked for a cab!
Atencion excelente. Transporte desde el hotel al aeropuerto de Oakland, así como al embarcadero y metro. No
La situación, el desayuno y el acceso a internet
Tuvimos suerte y en la primera estancia hicieron upgrade al estar full bokked, las habitaciones del embarcadero son estupendas, las suites mejor ahn Queda un poco lejos del bart para desplazarse a San Francisco, pero te acercan en un van los empleados del hotel
convenient location when visiting SFO second visit in two weeks time, this time there was plenty of room at the hotel and the people at the reception could have been friendlier (they were not friendly at all), it did not happen on our previous visit.The room rates where much higher for some unknown reason.
Limpio y cómodo Es demasiado caro para este mercado. Deben de ser de $60 a $75 la noche.
El personal era muy servicial y cortés.
Buena ubicación No hay suficiente ayuda. Demasiado esperando
El gerente de noche que me registró era muy agradable y profesional Los pasillos olían a humedad
Lo limpio y cómodo que era que parecía nuevo Nada
Agua y manzanas en el vestíbulo. Y el servicio de transporte gratuito al aeropuerto, etc. La habitación daba a la calle y había ruido del tráfico.
Nos encantó la paz y la tranquilidad. No tienes que ir lejos para encontrar comida. El personal era amable y acogedor. Las sábanas no estaban totalmente limpias. Tuve que avisar para que las cambiaran.
Espacioso, ubicado a 20 min. de San Fco en ferry el que se encuentra a 300 mts del hotel. Prolijo y bien equipado,
Buen lugar. Está siendo renovado ahora. Llame antes de reservar para ver si están terminadas.
La ubicación era perfecta. A unos pasos del agua, donde se puede coger el ferry a San Francisco. El personal fue simpático y la salida fue fácil, la cama era muy cómoda. La habitación era un poco anticuada, pero aún así era muy limpia y agradable. Gastos de estacionamiento y gastos ocultos
Not safe !!! Had to park down 2 blocks in parking garage !!! No hotel parking like listing said !!! No deals like we were PROMISED FROM KYACK !!! You could tell our ROOM WASNT CLEAN...THERE WERE USED TOWELS EVERYWHERE AND WHEN WE CALLED TO COMPLAIN ALL THEY SAID WAS HUH THATS STRANGE !!!! Lame not worth it if your looking to go to a show and dont want to worry about your stuff...THEN DONT STAY HERE !!!! I work at hotels and this was by far one of our worst experince !!!
I loved the room and the space in the room. When I walked through the hallway it smelled so good....awesome experience!
Staff was great took care of us and where on point which all the little details Needed more shampoo and conditioner!!...fit under my boob
El tamaño de la habitación estaba muy bien, el personal es amable, el parking gratuito, el desayuno continental, muy buena ubicación. Sin duda me alojaría aquí de nuevo. Nuestra puerta de la ducha no cerraba bien, así que salía un poco de agua.
Justo al otro lado de la calle de Jack London Square. Al lado de Everett y Jones, pollo y gofres y media docena de otros restaurantes.
El trato del personal en general fue muy bueno. Las instalaciones no son muy lujosas. Ademas tuve problemas al solicitar ayuda por telefono al hotel. Al pedir un taxi para poder regresar a este no me ayudaron, dejandome solo en una estacion de buses a medianoche, en un pais extranjero. Aun con disculpas esta situacion es inaceptable.
located close to the freeway The staffs lack of customer service.
Nothing terrible
I asked for a non smoking wheel chair accesible room at the first floor, they didn't have it! They gave me a smoking room without facilities for for a handicap person. Neighbors we're loud all night! Bad neighborhood!
Staff was absolutely amazing! Really respectful! And we were situated with our room with no complications. The room was not fully cleaned. The bathroom towels were wet. Trash was not taken out. Before giving someone a room make sure it's fully ready. Other than that we had a wonderful stay and we will return soon.
there was nothing worth liking at this hotel. The check in was dealt with in the most unprofessional manner I've ever seen in any hotel. The uneducated, complaining, screaming check-in staff would have been comedy material if it wasn't for the fact they were responsible for getting me to a good night's sleep. The hotel was very rundown, moldy curtains, loud banging air conditioner, drunk guests on the balcony and walkways at 3am, smelly rooms. Overalll - flat out disaster and not even worth 1 star.
Nothing had bed bugs I didn't like anything. It was awful
The location. The staff was incredible unprofessional and rude and there were bugs in the room and on the towels. Definitely will never stay here again.
Ilove how nice the staff was it was very easy to find it was bye the water I CANT WAIT TO STAY THERE AGAIN WASENT VERY MUCH PARKING GOT BACK KINDA LATE HAD TO PARK ON THE STREET MY CAR GOT SCRACHED
The free parking was a plus. Everything else! The towels in the bathroom were dirty, the tv didn't work, there was hair on the bed, the shower was filthy, everything in the room was breaking, the bathroom didn't lock, the walls were so thin you could hear the people next door talking, the free breakfast was disgusting, and the whole place was right next to the ghetto!!! This is the first time I have decided not to live in a Hilton or Sheraton and I regret it so much. Never coming back here again! I'm embarrassed for booking this place and making my friends stay here!
Poor and not totally safe neighborhood. At the motel many occupants were outside their rooms screaming and drinking alcohol. Room stank with bad smell, Floor needed vacuuming. Bathroom too small. No privacy, can hear next room's tenants speak. Weekend price increased significantly, probably to accommodate prostitution nearby.
the Location to on the bay area was convenient for a business trip
Staff is very nice no coffee at 05.30am
Liked the flat panel TV and King bed Room had an odor
The clean room and the excellent cleaning staff. The bathroom sink kept stopping up.
The staff was almost perfect. The front counter attendant was super friendly, courteous, and quick to check us in. His name was John and definitely was great. The location makes travelling to San Francisco fairly easy by car (25 minutes until downtown). The lake nearby (1-2 blocks) is very nice. The area doesn't feel ghetto, but definitely not super classy. There is graffiti/mural on the building behind the motel and it was so insanely gorgeous (my bathroom window had the perfect view of it). The place looks fairly maintained externally. Some Mexican guests next to us decided to blast some Mariachi/Folk Music at 2:30AM outside their room on an external speaker sitting in front of their room door for who knows what reason and we had to call the front desk and they handled the situation, but then our rude neighbors decided it'd be quieter to bring their speaker inside which made it even worse so after a second call the staff came to the room and told them in person to stop and then it was quiet. Situation was resolved in about 10 minutes in total. The paint is clean and doesn't look old and the outside of the building and parking lot also looked very clean. The staircases need some lights, both the adults (Sister and I) missed the last step coming down and luckily we didn't fall and just tripped. The bedroom we first got had hair on the sheets (I didn't personally see, but my sister had changed the room while I unloaded car and had a smoke). Our new room had used tissues in the drawer of the dresser. We had 2 Towels, 2 Washrags and 2 Hand towels for a 2 Double bed bedroom and it would definitely go a long way to do more washrags at minimum (I don't mind reusing towels, but not washrags and no washrag for face if you decide to shower). The floor had what looks like animal hair. So definitely if I had advice to this place, put out a ton of safety strips on the steps and lighting. Also, either fire your cleaning staff and hire some new ones, or start checking rooms they sign off on because they are not doing their job. Also, I would strongly suggest an enforced quiet time of 11PM weekdays and 12AM weekends and put a 1 warning policy before you kick people out. There are just some really small changes that would go a long long long way in improving the overall value in staying here. I didn't bother with the breakfast they offered (didn't even go in to look), but I heard it was pretty much slim offerings so a small variety increase would go a long way too.
Relatively clean rooms, usual provisions (minus a coffee maker) Phone didn't work so couldn't call to tell them that the WiFi cut out every few seconds--when you're on business and have trouble accessing the internet while away, makes for an aggravating stay; shower didn't drain, so filled up with water; evening check-in staff were courteous but day check-out staff couldn't be bothered; ad said HBO---no HBO; people hanging out outside their rooms at night talking at the top of the lungs--good thing I brought ear plugs; Poor and not totally safe neighborhood---didn't leave room at all after getting back from being out
Cleaned every day. Easy access to downtown. No problems with staff.cheap. It's not super quiet. I hear lots of traffic and loud people cross by the room but it is expected at a motel this cheap. Put the AC on to drown it out.
Nice place. newly remodeled, friendly staff, free parking and WiFI
No frills, but cost was good. I would bring your own towels, like any hotel/motel they are gross. Bathroom was nice and updated, much space to put your stuff out. TV Location Parking Towels Noise Some people/area/location (shady) You had to be buzzed in and the check in pepilepsy were behind bullet proof glass.
For the price it is so good. Maid service is not diarily
The bed was really comfortable and the room clean .Housekeeping was helpful!bathroom was cute Poor facilities such as hairdyer .Microwave . fridge....the location is far from downtown but the transportation is convenient.
Even before I arrived I was impressed...they called me while I was on the road to inquire about my special needs (ground floor room only), and when I got there the staff was friendly and helpful, clearly Asian of some type but speaking excellent English; and then I got to the room. Amazing! It looked like it was 'fresh out of the box', clean and neat and very well appointed...a desk one can work a laptop at, a firm mattress and plenty of soft but sturdy pillows...and don't get me started on the glass-walled shower. I blanched a little at the price tag but I have to say, in the end, it was well worth it. Next time I visit the Emeryville/Oakland area I'll be staying there for sure!
The bed was pretty comfortable. The room looked very new. The smell was very strong -- an odor of the like you get with a new mattress. There should be more ventilation.
Me gustó que está cerca de oracle arena y el sistema Bart. Personal durante el día muy agradable y servicial. Gracias Jordan, John, y José, el conductor, que era genial. No me gustó que no hubiera desayuno continental para nosotros. El restaurante está muy bien, pero es caro. Literalmente no hay tiendas alrededor del hotel. Tienes que tomar el bart para ir a cualquier parte. Bueno para negocios in-and-out pero nada más.

Port of Tauranga is the "port of the future" and "a significant competitive threat" to Auckland's port, Prime Minister John Key said in Tauranga.
Mr Key opened the $30 million wharf extension and commissioned the port's new gantry crane yesterday, and in front of about 200 guests he spoke of the port's significance to New Zealand's economy.
Its expansion would transform Tauranga into a port that could service the world, he said.
The 170m extension and new twin-lift Liebherr crane, as part of the Port of Tauranga's major container terminal facility expansion, had contributed to it being the country's largest port - in total volume, container throughput and land area - and the future hub of New Zealand shipping.
"If you look at the performance of the Port of Tauranga, it is performing very strongly within New Zealand and relative to other ports and that's why it's been building market share," he told the Bay of Plenty Times in an exclusive interview.
"It's been a significant competitive threat to Auckland and that's an example of its success and I think that should be celebrated because for Tauranga this is a part of the world that's growing fast, it needs more businesses to attract even more people and give them more reasons to be able to support their family here and the port is an integral part of that."
Port of Tauranga chief executive Mark Cairns said the wharf extension by Tauranga-based HEB Construction increased the wharf length to 770m and would allow the terminal to handle three large vessels at the same time.
Last year, the terminal handled 850,000 containers (TEUs), which was up 25 per cent on the previous year. Mr Cairns said this was expected to increase again this year, which was why dredging the shipping channel was so important.
The first stage of this project is estimated to cost about $50 million.
After the Port of Tauranga event, Mr Key spoke exclusively to the Bay of Plenty Times about the issues facing the region, such as Psa and Rena.
He acknowledged it had been "a terrible time" for kiwifruit growers and many had suffered financially and emotionally but when asked he was not aware of any new proposals to offer assistance.
Despite this, he said there was hope and the Government's $25 million contribution to developing cultivars had begun to show high levels of resistance against Psa.
When asked if Rena should be left on Astrolabe Reef or be removed, Mr Key said the wreck could be a major tourist attraction as long as the environmental impacts were mitigated and the views of locals were considered when making a decision.
He spoke favourably about the region, and said Tauranga promoted itself well and there were many people who had not experienced the region's "sheer beauty".
"I think it's a really fabulous part of New Zealand ... and it's got all the advantages of a bigger city but with a nice feel to it. It's not the hustle and bustle of Auckland but feels like a go-ahead place."
Mr Key said he enjoyed visiting Tauranga and would like to bring wife Bronagh here on holiday.
And finally, asked whether he was worried about losing his title as the country's sexiest politician to Tauranga National MP Simon Bridges, Mr Key said he would be happy to pass the mantle over.

Reposted for Jazzfan1974
Hello everyone. I'm new to these forums, but I thought I'd register and see what's all here. I am a screen reader user, and also gaining some independent-living skills slowly but surely. I was a JAWS user for several years and love it, but I just found the price tag a bit too high. So I now use both System Access and Non-Visual Desktop Access. As far as my skill level with computers, I'd say I'm pretty independent but there are still things I would very much like to know. This is both for personal and professional reasons. Mods, I hope my reply is okay here; if not feel free to relocate it.

The Peabody Public Library was established in 1901 through the philanthropic contributions of Leigh Smith J. Hunt. He offered to support a public library for the benefit of the people of Whitley County. Known as the People's Free Library of Whitley County, the library opened for business on the second floor of the Raupfer Building located on the corner of West Van Buren and Line Street. During the first year, 29,675 items circulated.
Artist's rendition of building on North Main
Concerned citizens circulated petitions to keep the library open in 1911 when Mr. Hunt could no longer financially support it. The City Council of Columbia City responded by passing an ordinance to make the Library a tax supported institution.
In 1917, Simon J. Peabody donated land and funds to erect a building on North Main Street. He also bequeathed money to the library and the governing board created an endowment which has enabled the library to purchase capitol improvements. In 1970 the library board built a major addition doubling the size of that library. In 1992, the library became a Class I library and expanded its district to include two surrounding townships.
Library viewed from path around wetlands
In 1999, a new 27,500 square foot facility was built on Highway 205. Unfinished areas were used for an expansion in 2010. The 14.25 acres of property also includes a wetland area that may be used for educational purposes. A mulched path around the wetlands is open to the public.
Some previous members of the library board include Rob R. McNagny - local author, Thomas R. Marshall - Governor of Indiana & Vice President of the United States, Andrew A. Adams - Judge & member of the Indiana House of Representatives, James Fleck - Mayor of Columbia City.
This sign recognized that the Peabody Public Library was nominated and won Business of the Month for June 2016 by the Whitley County Chamber of Commerce. Thank you for your support!
The Peabody Public Library was honored to have been selected as the Jewel of the Community at the 2014 Whitley County Chamber of Commerce recognition dinner. We love serving the people in our community, and continue to look for ways to improve the classes and services we offer. Thank you for this special recognition!

My 7 year old is just loving the after school golf clinic with Jon. It's fun, relaxed and great value. ...
Before I sent my son Joey to Jon for studying playing golf from "0" level, I have hesitated lots. Because I knew Joey was not such a boy who could concentrate on a sport, after a bad experience with his cricket sport. The outcome surprised me, Joey loved play golf and he ranked the golf game is the number one favorite sport in his life. Go for Jon, you won't be regret!!!
My 5 year old son Oscar has been having private lessons with Jon for 2 years now and he loves every lesson he has with Jon. They are fun , entertaining and engaging. Over the years Jon has started with the basic simple foundations of golf and applied them in games that are fun and exciting. I have seen over the years my sons eye hand coordination his swing and contact with the ball improve . Jon is a patient, kind and caring teacher who makes golf fun and enjoyable for all his students.
I would like to tell you that Jon makes Mosen, a six year old boy want to play golf! Mosen?s favorite sport is golf and initially when he started lessons with Jon he was shy and not confident. Since Jon has been coaching Mosen he has become more active and his concentration has improved Jon's passion and patience stand out with Mosen indicated by his willingness to play and learn golf. Jon is not only a qualified golf teacher teaching Mosen new golf skills, but also a good friend. Jon knows Mosen strengths and is always encouraging him and correcting him. Thank you so much Jon." B.R. Jenny
My 8 year old daughter enjoys to learn golf with Jon over several months. Now my girl really enjoys to play gold and has a confidence how to swing. I strongly recommend to other parents. Hope your children also enjoy to learn golf with Jon. Great work Jon!!

Rose McGowan almost nude in public at the 1998 MTV Video Music AwardsWednesday, July 30th, 2008
The actress created a stir back then when she appeared dressed in a fishnet outfit that certainly left nothing to the imagination except for her crotch which was covered by a tiny g-string. Her breasts and ass were fully exposed before adoring fans as she walked down the red carpet with then boyfriend Marilyn Manson. She looked so hot that day and she proved that she can look good with whoever she's with, even if it was Marilyn Manson escorting her. Relive the hottest red carpet moment of the nineties with the pictures I included below and just click the thumbs to get the full version. These pics are just a small portion of the collection available to you when you visit www.rosemcgowannude.org.

Sue Devitt has her very own popular beauty line, as well as a deep interest in holistic beauty. Many of her products are made from natural ingredients she's found in various places and finds to be successful for a great beauty regimen. But that's not all Sue advocates for healthy-looking skin. It's also important to keep up a good routine in diet, exercise, and sleep patterns. Check out Sue's recommendations below.
Eating fresh – raw fruits and vegetables – keeps the skin naturally healthy and hydrated and the roughage is excellent for digestion. Many ailments are derived from digestive track issues, liver, and kidney, so proper diet will truly be beneficial, both for the short and long term. Sue also recommends drinking lots of water to cleanse the system and to stay away from coffee, opting for green tea instead.
Adhering to a regular fitness routine is also vitally important in achieving your full beauty potential. For Sue, consistency is key so she practices Pilates twice weekly to strengthen, elongate, and improve posture. Sue also regularly makes time for cardio and Yoga; her favorite discipline being Indian Yoga, Kundalini – a promotion of physical well-being and an expansion of awareness which ultimately transforms one's life into one which is happy, healthy and harmonious. Introducing tranquility and equilibrium into life not only reduces fatigue and stress resulting in frown lines and skin imperfections, but also allows for some needed personal time each day — often overlooked in a busy schedule.
Sue's decision to add skin care ingredients to makeup was a holistic one. Covering the skin with beautifying pigments that will also improve skin's health and quality is something she believes all women deserve and should have access to. Her deep affinity for hydration is evident in her product range. "Our planet is comprised of 70% water, our bodies are 70% water and that is why my 70% Triple Seaweed Gel Foundation is formulated with 70% water. The complementary relationship of keeping ourselves and our skin optimally hydrated balances our beauty equilibrium," remarks Sue Devitt.
Sue Devitt Beauty is a line of exquisite, high performance formulations infused with powerful anti-aging ingredients, soothing marine properties, and hydrating flower derivatives from nature, inspired by exotic destinations. Rich with minerals, vitamins, and nutrients, these products provide glowing beauty and healthy, hydrated radiant skin for women of all ages and ethnicities. Visit suedevittbeauty.com for more info.

At Forrester's recent Marketing Forum in San Francisco, it was my pleasure to introduce Deborah Conrad, Intel VP and CMO, ahead of her keynote. Deborah shared her experiences about transforming the 20-year-old PC-oriented Intel "Inside" brand into the Intel "Every-Ware" brand, which is relevant in a world with a proliferation of devices and consumers of technology.
As I listened to her keynote before joining her back onstage for Q/A, she shared many great examples, stories, and lessons. However, three important insights left a lasting impression in my mind and are relevant for all technology marketers, regardless of company size, technology category, or marketing budget.
1. It's about the experience. Intel realized that it was no longer about what the chip does but about the experience it creates for the user. This is an important lesson for all technology marketers, who, as a collective industry, have historically marketed technology innovation or the latest and greatest features and functions, not the experience generated by the technology or solution. We can borrow a page from our colleagues in B2C marketing — such as BMW marketing "The Ultimate Driving Machine" and the experience associated with it, not marketing horsepower, torque, and braking distances.
Posted by Nate Elliott on April 18, 2011
Brand marketers don't spend much online. It's been a long-time frustration for me, but it's undeniably true: According to our most recent interactive marketing forecast, marketers in brand categories spend less than half as much of their marketing budgets online as marketers in direct response categories. Brand marketers also continue to spend a huge portion of their marketing budgets on TV.
I'll be honest: Five or 10 years ago, this made sense. Although lot of us were shouting from the rooftops back in 2000 about the scale and power of the Internet, the truth is back then its scale and power were relatively limited. The majority of the population still wasn't online, Internet usage averaged only a few hours per week, and the brand stories we could tell online were constrained by both tiny banner ads (anyone remember "half banners"?) and tiny bandwidth (broadband access, and with it online video and other rich creative, was years away from the mainstream).
In that environment, it made sense that TV was by far marketers' most important channel for building brand. After all, it offered brand marketers by far the largest media opportunity (more total users, and way more total hours, than any other media channel) and by far the richest brand impact of any platform. Marketers would have had little choice even if they wanted it: 30-second TV spots were the be-all and end-all of how they explained the meaning of the brands, and all other channels — online, radio, print, outdoor, and everything else — were simply a chance to reinforce the messaging in the TV spots.
But the conditions that made TV the de facto heart of our brand messaging no longer exist. Today, interactive marketing is ready to lead your brand campaigns, for four key reasons:

John Barleycorn HTML version
Chapter 21
But behold! As soon as I went out on the adventure-path I met John Barleycorn again. I
moved through a world of strangers, and the act of drinking together made one
acquainted with men and opened the way to adventures. It might be in a saloon with
jingled townsmen, or with a genial railroad man well lighted up and armed with pocket
flasks, or with a bunch of alki stiffs in a hang-out. Yes; and it might be in a prohibition
state, such as Iowa was in 1894, when I wandered up the main street of Des Moines and
was variously invited by strangers into various blind pigs--I remember drinking in barber-
shops, plumbing establishments, and furniture stores.
Always it was John Barleycorn. Even a tramp, in those halcyon days, could get most
frequently drunk. I remember, inside the prison at Buffalo, how some of us got
magnificently jingled, and how, on the streets of Buffalo after our release, another jingle
was financed with pennies begged on the main-drag.
I had no call for alcohol, but when I was with those who drank, I drank with them. I
insisted on travelling or loafing with the livest, keenest men, and it was just these live,
keen ones that did most of the drinking. They were the more comradely men, the more
venturous, the more individual. Perhaps it was too much temperament that made them
turn from the commonplace and humdrum to find relief in the lying and fantastic sureties
of John Barleycorn. Be that as it may, the men I liked best, desired most to be with, were
invariably to be found in John Barleycorn's company.
In the course of my tramping over the United States I achieved a new concept. As a
tramp, I was behind the scenes of society--aye, and down in the cellar. I could watch the
machinery work. I saw the wheels of the social machine go around, and I learned that the
dignity of manual labour wasn't what I had been told it was by the teachers, preachers,
and politicians. The men without trades were helpless cattle. If one learned a trade, he
was compelled to belong to a union in order to work at his trade. And his union was
compelled to bully and slug the employers' unions in order to hold up wages or hold
down hours. The employers' unions like-wise bullied and slugged. I couldn't see any
dignity at all. And when a workman got old, or had an accident, he was thrown into the
scrap-heap like any worn-out machine. I saw too many of this sort who were making
anything but dignified ends of life.
So my new concept was that manual labour was undignified, and that it didn't pay. No
trade for me, was my decision, and no superintendent's daughters. And no criminality, I
also decided. That would be almost as disastrous as to be a labourer. Brains paid, not
brawn, and I resolved never again to offer my muscles for sale in the brawn market.
Brain, and brain only, would I sell.

The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office recovered a body a short time ago believed to be that of a missing swimmer from yesterday, according to sheriff's office spokesman Kevin Kelshaw.
A positive identification and cause of death will be determined following an autopsy by District Medical Examiner Dr. Terrence Steiner.
The body was located at 11:15 a.m. by a sheriff' office PSA (Public Service Assistant) who was patrolling the beach. The body came ashore near Butler Beach, just south of Mary Street.
The name of the 25-year old victim is still being withheld pending notifying a relative. We will release the name when notification is made.
