A new study presented this week at an American Heart Association conference in New Orleans linked consumption of sugary drinks to about 180,000 deaths around the world, including 25,000 deaths in the U.S., in 2010.
The research, led by Gitanjali M. Singh, Ph.D., a postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, found that sugar-sweetened beverages increase the risk of developing diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and some cancers.
Using data collected as part of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010, the researchers tied intake of soft drinks and other sugary beverages to 133,000 diabetes deaths, 44,000 deaths from cardiovascular diseases and 6,000 cancer deaths.
Singh told HealthDay that their findings point to a need for policies that curb people's sugary drink intake. But banning the sale of large sodas like the proposed measure in New York is not the only solution to the problem. She said other effective strategies may include taxing sugar-added drinks or limiting advertising of the beverages to children.
"Because we were focused on deaths due to chronic diseases, our study focused on adults," Singh said in a news release. "Future research should assess the amount of sugary beverage consumption in children across the world and how this affects their current and future health."
In response to the study, the American Beverage Association (ABA) issued a statement on Tuesday, saying the study "is more about sensationalism than science."
"In no way does it show that consuming sugar-sweetened beverages causes chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease or cancer — the real causes of death among the studied subjects," the ABA added. "The researchers make a huge leap when they illogically and wrongly take beverage intake calculations from around the globe and allege that those beverages are the cause of deaths which the authors themselves acknowledge are due to chronic disease."
But while Singh agrees that there are several factors that could increase people's risk of developing heart disease, cancer or other chronic conditions, it is still possible to estimate the number of deaths attributable to consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, particularly in large amount.

Making Hannity Mad
We got Hannity's "Cheap Shot of the Day"! From his show last night:HANNITY: Finally tonight, if you were stuck, stranded on a desert island, would you want to be anywhere near a Democrat?
Well, the rhetoric from the left continues to get worse and worse, and when that happens, well, that's their example of the "Cheap Shot of the Day."
And we talk about liberals. Never one to miss an opportunity to bash Republicans, Democrats have now resorted to mocking conservatives with a knockoff of the popular television series "Survivor."
Take a look at this web video.
And the Democrats behind that amateur hour of video are the folks over at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and they're the people who try to get Democrats elected to Congress. And they're led by California Congressman Robert Matsui.
I think we're gonna have to cede the honor to these guys, but speaking of cheap shots:

Academic Session 24: OU 2012
38th Annual AAH Conference & Bookfair
The Open University, Milton Keynes
29 - 31 March 2012
'Tattoo Art History'
Session Convenors:
Matt Lodder, University of Reading firstname.lastname@example.com
Gemma Angel, University College, London email@example.com
Tattooing and other practices understood as 'body arts' (including but not limited to branding, scarification, piercing and even body painting and cosmetic surgery) have long been a source of popular and academic fascination, most usually discussed in anthropological, criminological, psychological or sociological contexts. Yet though the common phrase 'body art' used to describe tattooing and its coincident technologies is familiar and comprehensible, scholarly work which deals with the vernacular body arts using methodologies which are explicitly art- historical and art-theoretical has been all too infrequent. Papers in this session apply the critical approaches of art history and material culture studies to the body as an art object beyond a delineated artistic context, in reference to specific case studies and in the context of broader theoretical concerns. Speakers will address tattooing and other body arts and bodily practices, their practitioners, their practices and their products, and will consider, for example, questions of aesthetics, authorship, ownership, value and the status of the body as an artistic object; the applicability of artistic methodologies to the lived body; tattooing in performance art; and tattooing and other body-art imagery in historical contexts.

Friendly family run B&B with a dancing dog if your request to see it. Clean, homely and comfortable.
As a family of four with 2 teenage children, I was a little nervous we'd be a little cramped in a family room in a b&b, but I needn't have worried. The room was lovely and spacious. The beds were very comfy, and the kids took advantage of the free wi-fi. There were plenty of sockets for the various electronic devices with specific USB charging points too. A really friendly family run b&b, with great service and attention to detail. Lovely breakfast choices with a very tasty full English. Plenty to do and see in Devon with the kids particularly enjoying trips to Exeter and Plymouth to combine sightseeing and shopping. Glorious sunshine too, which made walking in Dartmoor and along the coastal paths pretty spectacular, as well as the more obvious beach days in Torquay, Brixham and Paignton (the latter of which I could take or leave - a bit like Blackpool but with nicer weather!!). Overall, a fabulous holiday in a b&b we'd all be happy to recommend.
Welcoming & friendly, good food very clean the room was excellent.
We enjoyed everything. We really come back in summer time again.
We were a party of five staying for three nights and everything was absolutely perfect at this hotel. I will certainly be booking again next time I'm down Torquay. Breakfast was delicious and the rooms were beautiful. Many thanks

1. Its not to create a new design/concept. Main goal is to enhance&refine our current 4-squre concept web logo (file logo_web.jpg attached) with a fresher & edgier look in the space of 607x81pixcels
2. New web logo must blend in with our current web design well. our website: http://www.ador.com.au/
3. To replace the flower on logo_web.jpg with some new ideas. seeking ideas to improve the shape/colour/lime colour lumination of 4-squres to achieve a sharp and shining feel.
4. To refine our current logo squares to have more shiny/3-d square buttny feel. ie Scribe's winning design of "DriveInSpeakers"
5. To focus on "Review" with abstract shapes, NOT to be associated with "Dining" so ideas of fork, cutleries, plates etc should not be included in the design.
6. In attached "shining_square.psd" file, like the colour gradience and its sharp & shining feel, except the button's rounded corners (squares preferred in straight right angle, not rounded corners)

UPDATE: Autopsy Results of Infant Found Dead in Roseville Park Released
The initial autopsy on the body of a newborn baby found dead in Saugstad Park in Roseville Monday is now complete.
The infant was a girl. The cause of death of the child has not been established.
The body did not show any traumatic injury, said Darin DeFreece, a detective with the Roseville Police Department.
The child still had the umbilical cord and placenta attached. The body of the child was hidden away just off a bicycle path in the park which follows the rambling Dry Creek. The baby was wrapped in plastic bags and placed in a box.
Roseville Police say the investigation will continue and say anybody with any clues or who may know the mother are asked to contact them.

TBR is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and we have been rescuing Boxers for nearly 30 years. We started out on a small scale rescuing dogs in the Tulsa area. Over the years, TBR has become a statewide organization, rescuing nearly 400 Boxers a year from all over the State of Oklahoma. Many of our dogs available for adoption and our foster homes are located in Oklahoma City, as well as Tulsa.
We are funded solely by private donations, adoption fees, and fundraising events. It is a constant struggle to raise the funds needed, but it is a labor of love. Our dedicated and committed volunteers and their passion for Boxers are what makes this organization work. We could not operate without those who donate their time, money or both.
Foster Homes Needed
Adopting a boxer through TBR can take a few days or weeks, depending on the restrictions needed in your home and matching those with the perfect boxer for your family as well as availability in our volunteer's schedules and travel time required.
Tulsa Boxer Rescue does not have a place of business, most of our dogs are in foster homes located in Tulsa or Oklahoma City. In order to meet a dog, you must first make application and get pre-approved. To start the process....here's all you do:
Apply to adopt a specific dog(s) or no one in particular. Your application will be reviewed by an Adoption Coordinator. It can take up to one week for an Adoption Coordinator to respond to you. Please be patient, we are all volunteers, who have full-time jobs and family responsiblities. The response will be via email or phone, so please check your email regularly including your junk mail box.
The Adoption Coordinator will discuss your application and may seek clarification to your responses. We will determine which type of boxer best fits your home, taking into consideration your home environment. Do you have dogs? cats? children? height of fence? etc. A home visit is also required to meet with you and make sure it is a safe environment for our boxer.
Once you have been pre-approved, then the foster home family will receive your application for their review, because nobody knows that boxer like the foster parent. If the foster parent determines your home environment is a good match for their dog, and vice versa, they will facilitate a meet and greet.
Once a boxer chooses your home to be his/her forever home, we will enter into an adoption agreement with you.
You must sign two legal and binding contracts; one for you and one for us. Along with the boxer, you will get your contract, a baggie of food the dog is accustomed to, any medications the dog may be taking, and one month supply of HW preventative. We will accept the adoption fee, at this time, in the form of cash, check or money-order. Should you wish to pay by credit card, you may do so via our website.
At this time your boxer will be marked as *adoption pending* on the website in the list of the "Available Dogs", and your last name will be given to the dog. Expect a phone call within the first few days and a follow-up home visit if needed. Following confirmation that all is stabilizing and as contracted, you will receive by mail the medical history and documents for your new fur-kid, but not before two weeks after adoption. You will need to wait to take your dog to your vet until you receive the medical paperwork from us.
Please send photos and updates over the months/years. We love hearing from these fur-kids. In addition, we'd like to welcome you to the TBR Family. We hope you are satisifed with your newest addition and the service provided by Tulsa Boxer Rescue. If you are, we ask that you spread the word about "rescue", we love referrals! Also, please watch our website for notices about Fundraising Events and other social events that you are encouraged to attend. Of course, last but not least, if you decide that your newest boxer needs a playmate, we'd be more than happy to place another boxer into your forever home!

President of the State Reflects on Child Rights during CRC Panel Discussion
Skopje, 16 November 2009: During a panel discussion celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the President Gjorgi Ivanov, emphasized the responsibility of the State to provide basic services for all children and highlighted the role of the family in providing a protective environment.
The panel discussion was hosted by the EU Special Representative and Head of Delegation, Erwan Fouéré. Also participating were UNICEF Representative Sheldon Yett, and Slovenian Ambassador and Chair of the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers, Alain Brian Bergant.
According to President Ivanov, child rights violations are more evident in economically deprived areas in the country, where the systems for health protection, social welfare and education are less developed. "As the President of all citizens I believe that an important challenge for all of us is to ensure adequate living conditions and equal education opportunities for all children and families," continued President Ivanov.
Ratified through succession immediately after the country declared independence in 1991, the Convention has provided a vision for advancing child rights in the country. Under-five mortality has been cut in half from 33 per 1000 live births in 1990, to 15 per 1000 live births in 2007. Although some children are missing out, national primary school attendance rates have been maintained at over 90%.
Furthermore, numerous laws have been amended based on the Convention's provisions. Reflecting on the challenges ahead, UNICEF Representative, Mr Sheldon Yett said, "the recent global economic downturn exposes many to increased poverty, and this country has not been immune to the affects of the crisis. Public budgets may need to be reallocated, but it is essential to maintain current investments in preventive health care, basic education and social services. Future gains from these investments in human capital are likely to be much larger than the financial savings that would be realised by making cuts now."
As a European Union candidate country, the EU integration process provides additional grounds for further building on the progress achieved for children. Highlighting the numerous EU policy instruments, Ambassador Fouéré emphasised the centrality of the promotion and protection of children's rights in the EU agenda.
"Through the accession process, the Commission is both promoting child protection reform and is also monitoring the progress on children's rights in all acceding and candidate countries," continued Ambassador Fouéré.
The panel discussion concluded with the panel members signing of the Council of Europe on-line petition for banning corporal punishment of children.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the first legally binding and the most widely ratified international convention to affirm human rights for all children. With its fifty four articles, the Convention spells out the basic human rights that children everywhere have: to survival; to develop to the fullest; to protection from harmful influences, abuse and exploitation; and to participate fully in family, cultural and social life.
To mark the 20th anniversary of the CRC, the country offices of the European Union Mission, UNICEF and the Council of Europe, have planned a week of activities to celebrate the tremendous progress achieved in child rights in the past two decades, as well as confront the continuing challenges. A children's documentary film festival and photo exhibition illustrating the articles of the CRC will be organised at the EU InfoCentre, between 16 and 20 November.
During the week, local and international films will be screened covering issues that remain challenges to the realization of child rights in the country. OneMinutesJr videos made by children in Skopje on violence in schools and documentaries on Roma girls education will be screened. As will films from Israel on inter-ethnic cohesion, the United States and Kenya on justice for children, and Japan on inclusive education. All screenings are free and will be followed by an expert led discussion where children will share their views on the different issues.

All over the country, Chainsaw Barbies are being searched out and snapped up as part of our Barbie treasure hunt. St Ives, Hexham, Dundee, Malvern, Scarborough, Newtown, Loughborough – they've all been invaded by malevolent mannequins who, not content with savaging Indonesia's rainforests, have gone awol across the UK.
Nearly 140 Chainsaw Barbies have been captured already but that means there are still several hundred out there waiting to be found. Check the Barbie Hunt map to search for ones nearby, go looking and once you've found one, follow the instructions on her tags to join our crack Barbie Investigation Bureau. Sadly, from reports I've received, it sounds like some have wandered, never to be seen again, but keep looking. Or you can make a Chainsaw Barbie of your very own.
Some of the Barbies which have already been found are popping up on Facebook, gathering around the bureau page. And the comments I've received from the people who found them are well worth reading, if only to see what amazing people Greenpeace supporters are:
"The Barbie I found in Malvern was broken apart, hair was scorched, and scattered around the library garden's shrubbery, but I found all the pieces apart from one leg!"
"I CANT BELIEVE I JUST FOUND RATTY BARBIE! Had to scurry round the pub garden in my checky pyjamas in the rain hahahhaha :)"
"She was very naughty when we captured her and tried to saw down a few trees on the way home. But we restrained her and she won't be causing anymore trouble now."
"When we found her, she was trying to fix her chain saw which had stopped working as it got so wet in the rain. She is now safely in custody in our cat's basket, we have drained the fuel out of her chainsaw so that she can't cut her way out! Would you like a photo of her in her holding cell?"
"This is awesome and a very important cause, but my Barbie is nekked!"
"Found Barbie with a big white and gold dress. My brother wants to know where 'Killer Ken' is, so he can join in the hut too?!!?"
"Found dismembered under the tree (we only found one leg, the head and the clothes). Fortunately the tags were left too."
"This was fun! I went round Edinburgh on my bike looking for Barbies in four different locations before I found one!"

UK Magazine Calls Beyonce a Wh@re for Her Grammy Performance
Beyonce's performance at the Grammys was certainly an attention-grabber. She was scantily clad, moving seductively and digging deep in the playbook of erotic moves. The performance was more than most expected, and left some parents concerned that the show wasn't quite family-friendly.
The reactions varied across the web, with some people being highly critical of the wife and mother getting on stage and showing her "goods" to the world. But some people felt that it was par for the course, and not nearly as disturbing as the performance by Miley Cyrus at the MTV Video Music Awards a few months ago.
One magazine, the UK Metro, took things a bit too far by referring to Beyonce as a Wh@re in their title, which goes over the line of decency in entertainment criticism. The magazine may have been seeking to get attention and sell papers, but it might have also succeeded in making itself look very bad.
The appearance by Beyonce was due to a performance of the song "Drunk in love," performed with her husband, Jay-Z. The song has been criticized as promoting domestic violence, with one lyric saying, "Eat the cake Anna Mae," referring to the infamous scene in the film, "What's Love got to Do with it?" starring Ike and Tina Turner. The film is known for being a wakeup call to the terrorism that some women experience at the hands of men.
Beyonce has referred to herself as a feminist, but as scholar and writer Crystal Hayes says, Beyonce may need to learn that feminism is more than a label and actually requires a commitment to specific principles. What are your thoughts? Should Beyonce be criticized for the performance, or was it fine? Beyonce is accustomed to pushing envelopes, so she is probably prepared to deal with the controversy. But this may set the bar so high that each year, one performer is going to have to outdo the last one.
President Obama once referred to Beyonce as a role model for Sasha and Malia, his daughters. Would this be the same as a white president saying that Madonna is a role model for his girls? Would it be better to choose a role model who doesn't have to take her clothes off and turn men on to make money? Please tell us if we're over the top here, we'd love to know what you think.

Matthew McConaughey, who has recently returned to the SoCal area after falling off the map for a few weeks, was spotted this week enjoying some alone time on a beach in Malibu, CA. Well, he wasn't actually all alone … he had a new friend with him:
No word on the pooch's name but I suspect that the little guy was picked up so that Levi Alves can grow up with a family pet of his own. You may recall that this little dog was out with Matthew when he was photographed skateboarding last week … honestly, I thought the dog was just there and didn't actually belong to Matthew. You know, I kinda like the idea of Matthew with a cute little dog like this … it looks like he is really becoming an honest to goodness family man now.

"People are dying ok? Let's be real about this! People are dying and regardless if they're there by their fault or not, they're dying."
While prices continue to soar in the Vancouver housing market, many on the downtown east side say that has a direct link with more Vancouverites dying.
Today 28 different community groups will join in a city-wide housing march across the downtown east side.
All in hopes of voicing, what organizers call, a much needed cry for help in the Vancouver housing crisis.
And adding, regardless of whose fault, people are dying on the streets and something needs to be done.
"Who is going to take responsibility for housing? That is part of the government's responsibility to help and insure the health and welfare of its citizens."
Hugh Lampkin, on the board of the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users says there are more people homeless on the streets than ever before.
The March begins at 1 pm at 138 Hastings and will finish at city hall.

HYDE PARK, Sunday —Before I left New York City on Friday, I had an opportunity in the morning to go into the gallery of the Associated American Artists, at 711 Fifth Avenue. Two charming little sculptured horses met my gaze as I stepped out of the elevator, reminiscent of some horses carved in pine wood which had been given to me—and I found they were done by the same young artist from St. Louis, Mo. Then the collection of prints and lithographs which are being sold for $5 each attracted my attention, and I found myself moving very slowly through these attractive rooms until I finally reached Raphael Soyer's exhibition. His paintings are most attractive, but as he was born in Russia I think his art shows the Russian influence. These paintings leave me with a sense of repression.
I was shown the room where shortly there is to be an exhibition of WPA children's art and then I had a great thrill.
There is soon to be opened an exhibition of paintings by Thomas Hart Benton. He happened to be there, so I had the great pleasure of meeting him and seeing two or three of his paintings. One head of an old Negro is very beautiful and there is a painting, which is quite delightful, of a little Negro boy sitting with his lessons and looking at the teacher across a table. Mr. Benton said he had to hold the little boy with one hand while he painted with the other and that is probably why the child looks so natural and alive. I can just imagine him slipping through Mr. Benton's fingers, to go fishing in the brook.
I found in my apartment in New York City a gift—a little collection of poems by living English poets. None of the poems is signed. They were chosen because of their contemporary interest and touch with today. One short poem will strike a familiar note with most of us. It is called:
Cool-eyed, confident, lean,
The person I should wish to be,
And never yet have been:
His lips are full of projects done—
Mine only of their name—
How can I be that winning one,
This second that I am?
Whether you are man or woman, young or old, this person you wish to be is always ahead of you.

|We just purchased a front loading machine, our first one. The transmission on our top loader quit after six years. I'm reading that we should use HE soap, but not sure why. This is not noted in the manual. My questions are:
- Is there a formulation difference between HE and regular soap
- I only saw HE Tide, but no other brands
- We have always used half the amount of soap recommended and our clothes have come out fine, will this same approach work with the front loader.

Will an allergic reaction cause a cat to stop eating?
My 18 month old cat has a severe blisters inside his ears. We took him for shots, and the vet said he had a buildup of was in his left ear. He recommended some OTC ear wash to help dry up the wax. Three weeks later, he has huge red bumps/blisters on the insides of BOTH ears. He's losing lots of hair above his eyes and has two bald spots behind his ears from scratching. He's also not eating and lost weight - but drinking fine. The vet seemed to think it was an allergic reaction to the ear wash and his perscription was 3 mg of kid's liquid benaryl 3x /day. Plus he gave us some special food a/d (science-diet?) that the cat should eat right up. He's totally uninterested in it - but will munch on a few treats. The benadryl doesn't seem to be helping - and it doesn't help that the cat foams at the mouth trying to spit it up. We're going back on Saturday but not sure what to think. Bloodwork came back fine. Could it be mange? Or mites? What affects the appetite?

Because we don't know your cat and couldn't diagnose or suggest treatment over a computer anyway, it's almost impossible to guess what could be going on with him. It sounds like allergies, but he's certainly had a severe reaction if it is. I know my animals would never eat that /d prescription food, whatever the reason it was prescribed. It smells like no substance known to mankind. ;-) It's a good thing you are taking him back to his doctor. You need answers and your kitty needs relief.

There's a little something extra inside this bottle of Stillman Brown Petite Sirah. Here's a hint: We have no idea what it is.
Is there anything sexier than a man drinking a dark, smokey wine with a firm tannin structure while operating an oscillating tool? The answer to that is … yes. There are definitely sexier things than that.
But still. Look at him standing over there, manly, callused hand wrapped around that delicate glass of ripe blackberry, blueberry and vanilla flavors, while the other hand hacks through that delicious ribeye with a semicircle saw blade.
I don't know about you, but the mere sight of it sends shivers down my spine, and also a little vomit up my esophagus and into my mouth. It's a complicated emotion.
What's not complicated, however, is your decision to buy this delightful Petite Sirah. If a little mystery helps spark your intrigue, Stillman added a secret ingredient to it. Could be some exotic fruit. Could be the sweat of this man. Either way, you can't lose.

text: INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar will rejoin the faculty of the University of Indianapolis in January and help UIndy launch a high-level Washington, D.C., internship and study program for students from Indiana and across the nation. Lugar joined UIndy President Robert Manuel today in announcing the formation of the Richard G. Lugar Academy, a sweeping expansion of the university's existing Lugar Center for Tomorrow's Leaders. The university will add a branch office and a full-time staff position in Washington to support its new internship program as well as conferences, symposia, policy studies and other activities of the academy. At UIndy's main campus in Indianapolis, the nonpartisan Lugar Academy will continue to organize the annual Lugar Symposium for Tomorrow's Leaders, a daylong program created in 1977 for Indiana high school juniors to explore national and international issues. The Indianapolis office also will host events featuring prominent speakers and develop an institute to prepare first-time elected officials for public office, drawing on the resources of UIndy's Institute for Civic Leadership & Mayoral Archives. Lugar, as a Distinguished Professor in UIndy's Department of History & Political Science, will continue as keynote speaker for his annual symposium and also will deliver three lectures each year for UIndy students, with additional lectures in the nation's capital. He will be instrumental in designing the D.C. internship program, which will focus on key national and global issues, with courses developed by UIndy faculty. Students in the semester-long program will spend two days a week in classes and seminars and three days in highly selective government-related internships. "We couldn't be more pleased that Senator Lugar has selected UIndy as a home for his important post-Senate work," Manuel said. "It's difficult to imagine another individual with such a wealth of experience and such a willingness to share it with young people. With his help, we can provide an unparalleled opportunity for students pursuing careers in public service."

Giveaway (US/Int): Get the "Will's World" scoop on Penton vampire leader Aidan
Please help me welcome Will & Aidan from Susannah Sandlin's Redemption!
Interview with a Vampire: Will's World
Will Ludlam here. I'm a lieutenant in the vampire scathe that's taken over the small town of Penton, Alabama. There are about seventy-five of us who moved here to the middle of nowhere with our bonded human familiars (no coercion, I promise). Anybody will tell you I'm the best-looking guy in town, so if you're a woman in search of a vampire to love, I'm your guy.
But I digress.
See, this vaccine was created to fight a human pandemic virus and it turned the blood of vaccinated humans poisonous to us. Poisonous as in, will kill us faster than a speeding wooden bullet or a nap in the sunlight. Humans don't even know we exist, and they're in danger of wiping us out anyway by starving us. I'm thinking we never gave them enough credit.
Vampires everywhere are freaking out, let me tell you. There are crazy, starving fanged people wandering all over the place (one of whom is probably my evil powermonger of a father), so we wanted to get away from the city. Believe me, Penton's about as "away from the city" as it gets.
But I'm bored, so I decided to start a Penton newsletter. Will's World—catchy, eh? Today, I'm interviewing our scathe leader Aidan Murphy. He's the guy in charge. The big guy. The head—
Aidan: Will, shut up. If we're gonna do this, ask your questions. I have work to do that doesn't involve listening to you chatter.
Will: Yeah, yeah, fine. Okay. Tell us about yourself.
Aidan: (silence)
Will: Gonna play it like that, are you? Well, I'll tell them that you were a farmer in Ireland back in the olden days—like four-hundred year olden days—but have been in the American Southeast for almost two centuries. Chicks love that brogue you can roll out, by the way. Think you can teach me to do that?
Aidan: William….
Will: Okay, whatever. You are too serious and stubborn for your own good, which drives your lieutenants crazy, by the way. Did you realize your own human familiar, Melissa, calls that expression you have on your face right now your "Irish pig farmer" stare? You grow flipping FLOWERS, which isn't a very manly vampire thing to do, if I say so myself. And you have women throwing themselves at you because they like that whole broody, tortured thing you have going on, but you think women are too much trouble. Which is good for me because I like some variety in my—
Aidan: *Rolls his eyes.* Will, shut up and ask a real question.
Will: Grump. Who do you think you are, Mirren Kincaid? (Mirren's our security chief and he is one big—really big—brute with an attitude problem.) Okay, what gave you the idea of creating this big scathe and buying a ghost town in rural Alabama to repopulate?
Aidan: It was getting too dangerous out there for our unvaccinated human familiars. So many humans got the pandemic vaccine that it's hard for vampires to find people to feed from. I didn't want our fams kidnapped for the black market that's springing up for unvaccinated humans, or for the vampires who follow me to be murdered in order to steal their human familiars. Penton, Alabama, seemed like the perfect solution. It's isolated. It was virtually a ghost town, so I was able to buy up all the property. Everyone I allow to move here just wants to be left alone to live in peace.
Will: Well, except the peace thing isn't working too well right now. Mark—your business manager and husband of your familiar Melissa—was attacked…
Aidan: *Glares at Will* This is off the record—I don't want to see anything about the attack in the newsletter, got me? It's hard enough keeping people calm.
(*Will nods, but has fingers crossed behind his back.*)
Aidan: My psychopath of a brother, Owen, attacked Mark and killed our former doctor. I don't have proof, but I know damn well Owen's not acting alone. Some of those self-righteous peacocks on the Vampire Tribunal—like your father—are probably behind it. We're going to have to fight them or be destroyed.
Will: Since we're talking *coughs* off the record, what about this doctor you kidnapped—er, I mean—have visiting us in the locked rooms under the clinic? Tell us about Krystal Harris.
Aidan: You're the one who found us an unvaccinated doctor. She'll be perfect, you said. She'll want to live here, you said. Well, guess what? The woman can't be enthralled worth a damn. She's stubborn. And she does NOT want to live here. She stabbed me with a freaking fork!
Will: Aw….you like her.
Aidan: *Narrows eyes* Interview's over, and it's your turn for patrol duty. Get to it.
Will: Methinks he doth protest too much….Okay, okay. I'm outta here.

This deluxe assortment of knives serves as a full array for the promising new kitchen connoisseur.
The Wüsthof Classic 3.5" Paring knife is an ideal choice for mincing shallots, onions and herbs. This versatile little blade excels at cutting and cleaning vegetables as well.
The flexible blade of the Wüsthof Classic 5" Boning knife tapers from the spine for strength and durability. Designed to excel with nearly any meat, including chicken, lamb, ham and beef, it offers an inward curve for separating meat from bone, and a sharp tip for trimming fat and sinew, in addition to cutting tendons.
A necessity for any kitchen, the Wüsthof Classic 8" Cook's Knife ranks among the most popular of sizes & styles of knife. This indispensable kitchen companion can be utilized for tasks both small and large, effortlessly slicing, dicing, mincing, and chopping meats, vegetables, fruit, and herbs.
The Wüsthof Classic 8" Bread knife has serrated edges to best slice through thick crusts and rinds, and is also suitable for cakes, fruits, and fried food, and features a triangular tip to adapt for various tasks.
The Wüsthof Classic 8" Carving knife has a blade that's perfectly sized and shaped for larger birds, roasts, barbecued beef and ham whether served either hot or cold. A must-have for any holiday dinner or large family meal.
The Kitchen Shears are ideal to cut fins or flowers, release foods from twine and packaging, and snip fresh herbs. The shears can even lend a hand with stubborn jar lids with the bone crusher built into the handle. The come-apart design makes for easy cleaning.
To keep these fine blades at their sharpest, the Wüsthof Classic 8 Piece Deluxe Block Set also includes a 9" Sharpening Steel, long enough to sharpen blades up to 9" in length.
Finally, a handsome 15-slot hard wood block holds and protects these fine instruments, and leaves 8 slots open to accommodate an expanding collection.
Wüsthof starts with a single blank of high-carbon stainless steel to forge each blade in the Classic series, using their patented Precision Edge Technology (PEtec). The hand-honed edges are laser-tested to safeguard Wüsthof's renowned quality, culminating in sharper blades that offer remarkably longer edge retention than most other knives. Aesthetically pleasing in appearance, these knives provide the ultimate in balance and a safe, controlled handling experience. Wüsthof Classic series knives feature a full bolster for optimal protection during use.
Each specialized knife is finished with a contoured handle that offers a full tang and triple-riveting for comfort and permanently secure construction. Each durable, synthetic polymer handle proudly displays the distinguished Wüsthof trident logo.
The pieces of the Wüsthof Classic 8 Piece Deluxe Block Set are each made in Solingen, Germany and carry a lifetime guarantee.

Nets' DeShawn Stevenson has an ATM in his kitchen
Money affords athletes and entertainers the opportunity to do things that regular folks can only dream about. And in the case of Brooklyn Nets guard DeShawn Stevenson, the millions he has made in his NBA career apparently are readily accessible via the ATM that he has in his kitchen.
Check out the photo that Stevenson posted on Instagram. It certainly looks like a money machine to his right, doesn't it? But as Dan Wolken of The Daily tweets:

The standard of care for cancer patients at the UW Carbone Cancer Center (UWCCC) optimally involves a multidisciplinary team approach. The translation of laboratory discovery to clinical application is facilitated by multidisciplinary Disease Oriented Teams (DOTs). DOTs are embedded in specific UWCCC Scientific Programs and provide a multidisciplinary translational infrastructure which fosters inter- and intra-programmatic interactions that address programmatic goals and also disease specific interests. Each DOT has a designated leader and participants include UWCCC Scientific Program members, research staff and other UW faculty.
DOTs meet regularly and interested laboratory research faculty are encouraged to actively participate. In this manner, the multidisciplinary patient care activities and their associated clinical trials research are integrated into the Scientific Programs in several meaningful and functional ways through UWCCC faculty participation and UWCCC administrative support.
DOTs review and prioritize their respective clinical research activity and provide ongoing planning for new investigator-initiated studies. Proposed studies must have the support of the DOT prior to submission to the Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee (PRMC).
Contact the DOT leader or program manager for more information.

Satellite image from GEOS from about 1PM CST. Snowcover is somewhat masked by increasing clouds near the Iowa border from Fairmont to Caledonia. The visible images have much better resolution than years ago. You can clearly see the Minnesota River.
When I would give tours to school childern I would animate the images to highlight how the clouds move, but the snowcover doesn't. That is, unless temperatures are well above thawing and the snow is melting rapidly.
With regard to snowfall measurements and how they are officially tallied: Here is the directive from the National Weathe Service:
Measure and record the greatest amount of snowfall that has accumulated on your snowboard (wooden deck or ground if board is not available) since the previous snowfall observation. This measurement should be taken minimally once-a-day but can be taken up to four times a day, (every 6 hours) and should reflect the greatest accumulation of new snow observed (in inches and tenths, for example, 3.9 inches) since the last snowfall observation.
Snowfall amounts can be measured hourly or at any interval as long as the snow measurement board is NOT cleared more frequently than once every 6 hours.
In short, snowfall and snow depth needs to be measured once a day at 6AM. Observations taken at 6 hour intervals are most representative of actual snowfall.

But the decrease in power with the increase in sample size from 610 to 613 reminds of an alternative guess: have you considered that the other packages might be using a different exact confidence interval to invert, such as the Blyth-Still-Cassela (StatXact) or the Blaker (S-Plus)? I implemented the latter in a do-file for a one-off use last year. If I can get time to dig through my CD-R/W collection and find it to polish it into an ado-file, I'll try to post it. The Blaker confidence interval begs the question of sidedness.

But prior to "Gucci Gucci," Kreayshawn the pop star was Natassia the filmmaker and video editor, having built up an impressive CV of music video work. "Music has always been there, underneath everything I do," she explained to me last week. "But what I really wanna do is work on different projects, and not necessarily music-associated. I'm the editor, director — plus I'm my own boss." Lyrics from "Gucci Gucci" aren't the words of someone who intends to let the public determine her life's path. Which is a good thing, since she might otherwise be dismayed by the critical drubbing of her September major-label debut, the pretty-bonkers Somethin' 'Bout Kreay (Columbia). "I didn't make this album for, like, critics, or to try to impress people," Kreayshawn says. "It's for my fans, and for the people who already like me, because those are the people who put me in my position today."
Kreayshawn is a prime example of the type of supernova pop-star cycle that we can expect in the Internet era; not only because of her meteoric rise and almost-as-powerful backlash, but in the way that fame gives her fans and detractors alike such personal access. "I'm actually on my Twitter talking to people and stuff all the time, and one minute it'll be all 'Oh, Kreayshawn, I love you!' and the next thing will be some guy saying 'I'm gonna rip your face off and feed it to my dog, bitch.' You've gotta have thick skin because that shit is real!"
Real as a heart attack, not only because people are mean when cloaked in anonymity, but because Internet success only leaves you more open to criticism that doesn't see the big picture. "If one person says 'Oh, she ain't got no talent,' someone's gonna read it and believe it. It's tough for me — I went to film school and did all this stuff and do music and do this and that, and after that to get that I'm not 'talented,' it kind of hurts my feelings. I know in my heart that it's not true, but still."

How to Properly Document Your Projects
Accurate recordkeeping is essential to be successful in any business enterprise, but for fire systems contractors it could be a matter of life or death. Brush up on the requirements and catch up on new additions to NFPA 72's Documentation specifications.
By Shane Clary · April 30, 2013
4 Rules to Complete Completion
The requirements for Completion Documentation are found in Section 7.5. There are four basic requirements for every system:
(1) An owner's manual and manufacturer's published instructions covering all system equipment
(2) Record (as-built) drawings
(3) A completed record of completion form
(4) For software-based systems, record copy of the site-specific software
The record set, or as-built drawings, are very important as they would depict the system as it was installed. In most cases, the way a system is installed is not the exact way the original design and shop drawings indicated. It is vital for any system, no matter the size, for an accurate set of shop drawings to be produced and a copy left onsite.
The requirement for the site-specific software has caused some confusion in the past. This is not the source code for the system, nor is it the programming software. It is the data file that can be used with the proper programming software to recover the system program if the need arises.
The record of completion is to be finalized by the installing contractor and provided to both the owner and the AHJ. Within this document the installer states the system has been installed as designed and that it has been tested prior to calling for the acceptance test. This form has been completely revised for the 2013 edition of 72. The revision allows the installer to use only the sections needed for a particular installation.
I would like to state as well that a standard Record of Completion form is not required to be used. As long as the required information applicable for the installation is provided, an alternative document may be used. NFPA 72 now permits an electronic version of the Record of Completion to be filed, where approved by the authority having jurisdiction.
Chapter 7 also contains the requirements for the documentation of inspections and testing. Please note that Chapter 14, which details to requirements for inspection, testing and maintenance, now requires a test plan to be written. As with the Record of Completion, only the sections required need to be included. In addition, the exact form that is found within 72 is not required to be used.
Section 7.7 details the requirements for document retention. For all new systems, a documentation cabinet shall be installed. All paper documents associated with the system shall be installed within.
I have only covered a portion of the requirements found within the new chapter. Prior to the state of jurisdiction adopting the 2013 edition, you should become familiar with the requirements and provisions that are contained within.

Ripoff Report
Nate Kennedy Real Estate Money Matrix9815J Sam Furr Rd, Ste 263 Huntersville, North Carolina USA
Nate Kennedy Real Estate Money Matrix / Nathan Taylor- info@autopilotfunnels This guy is the Real Deal RipOff Artist and does not care what he has to do to get it done. He has no morals or values he just wants to get your MONEY or CREDIT CARD #'s Huntersville North Carolina
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I started dealing with this Nate Kennedy on or about October 7, 2011. I was one of his first 200 Beta Testers or Suckers would be a better term. The service and support was not there from the start and just got progressively worse, finally got so fed up with calling and no response that I sent a letter with a delivery conformation and still no response. I tried to get a refund many times during his 30 day policy with no response.
I never have dealt with anybody like him he has no agenda but to get your MONEY and he has so much bullcrap that does not work and he will not give any refunds.
Stay as far away from any of his programs or systems as you can and do not give him your MONEY because he has no intention of refunding and does not care what the situation is or who gets hurt by what he does.
He is a definite RIP-OFF just like the Snake Oil Salesmen in the Old West, Just uses technology to sucker you in and then upsell the HELL out of you. More Money More Money all the time.
At least all he got from me was about $800- 1000 dollars, I hate to think how many people this Scum Bag has ripped off.

Anyone have interest in letting me convert their themes they have on here into Joomla templates so they are made available to the community as well?
Not sure how it could work biz wise but we would need to work out something with the payments.
There are a lot of great themes on here that the Joomla community would dig if they were J! ready.
