HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Carson City Girl Scouts raising funds for new playground equipment
CARSON CITY — Some local Girl Scouts are working to give their younger counterparts an even better childhood than they had.
The members of Troop 825 have been working diligently to raise funds for some new playground equipment at Carson City-Crystal Upper Elementary School.
According to troop leader Michelle Fitzpatrick, the estimated cost to purchase a swingset with four seats and an overhead glider is $5,500, not including the cost of installation.
"This is something they started last year and this is something they really believe in," said Fitzpatrick of the project. "The girls are taking their cookie money and they're giving back to their school. These girls have always thought about others, but this is really going the next step."
CC-C Upper Elementary School Principal Charles "Chuck" Larkins said he's always been impressed with how community members support each other as a tight-knit group.
"These girls exemplify that," Larkins said. "They thought about their school and the future. You can't beat that when it comes to commitment. They're really a great group of girls and what a worthy project. It's not just a school playground, it's a community playground."
The girls of Troop 825 recall their days on the CC-C playground as fun, but limited, due to the lack of enough playground equipment to cater for all the students.
They are happy to explain why they chose this project. Here they are in their own words:
• Sixth-grader Cece Havens, age 11: "All you could do was stand and talk to your friends and you weren't really getting any exercise so it's basically just sitting and then at recess you just stood. When we get this new playground equipment kids will be able to exercise more."
• Sixth-grader Alyssa Gillson, age 11: It's important because we didn't have much to do. We'd just sit around and we were bored. I want the fourth- and fifth-graders to have fun and get better than we did."
• Sixth-grader Kali Hollinshead, age 12: "We sat around and tried to think of things to do. We want more people to play."
• Sixth-grader Annie Fitzpatrick, age 12: "The community has been giving lots of donations because they know it's going to a good cause."
• Sixth-grader Sarah McCrackin, age 12: "It really helps to have other people look out for you and give you things that you probably won't get. We probably won't use that playground but other kids will in the future."
• Seventh-grader Cera Vargas, age 12: "I think this is important because giving back to the community is really good and helpful and will let other kids know that it is good to help."
• Sixth-grader Christina Schafer, age 12: "We think it's important that everyone experiences some fun after their studies. It's been a fun experience for everyone and we've learned how to take leadership in a good manner."
• Sixth-grader Aiylah Carter, age 11: "Recess is supposed to be fun!"
An upcoming Easter-related event is scheduled with the goal of raising more funds for the playground equipment. Breakfast with the Easter bunny will be from 8 to 11 a.m. April 19 at the Carson City American Legion.
All-you-can-eat breakfast includes pancakes, scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage gravy and biscuits, sausage links, bacon, muffins and drinks. Children can have their photograph taken with the Easter bunny. Cost is $8 for adults, $5 for children 10 and younger.
For more information about the ongoing fundraiser, call Michelle Fitzpatrick at (989) 763-8696 or (989) 584-3158.

For the foreseeable future, the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, and West Africa will be three of the hottest offshore markets. As activity ramps up, the industry is meeting a higher demand for hi-spec ultra-deepwater (UDW) drillships. With one of the youngest fleets on the market, Ensco Plc. is poised to work steadily in all three of these markets.
According to John Knowlton, senior vice president, technical, Ensco, "Historically, drillships aren't as well suited to harsh environments as semisubmersibles." Most drillships are better suited for mild environments that feature extreme water depths in remote areas.
"That is what the three most active areas -- Gulf of Mexico, West Africa, and Brazil -- have in common," he added.
Driven by an ongoing trend of successful offshore discoveries, Ensco is answering the demand. It announced on April 5, 2012, the order of a new advanced-capability, UDW drillship to be built at the Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. Shipyard in Geoje, South Korea.
ENSCO DS-8 will be the sixth Samsung DP3 drillship in the company's young fleet. Part of the company's strategy is achieved through the standardization of equipment. "We have developed a synergy of consistency by designing our fleet with the same components," Knowlton said at an analysts briefing held in Corpus Christi, TX. "By designing these vessels for interchangeability of crews, supplies, and spare parts, maintenance is much easier."
The ship is scheduled for delivery in the third quarter 2014.
The contract includes options for two additional drillships of the same design, and the fleet expansion will extend the company's advantage of operating the newest ultra-deepwater fleet among global drilling contractors.
The construction cost is expected to be approximately $645 million. The company has ordered five previous Samsung UDW drillships ordered since 2007. Each is capable of drilling in water depths of up to 12,000 ft with a true vertical depth of 40,000 ft.
|The ENSCO DS-8 is rated for 12,000 ft of water and 40,000 ft true vertical depth. (Illustration courtesy of Ensco)
The ENSCO DS-8 will feature retractable thrusters, enhanced safety and environmental features, improved dynamic-positioning capabilities and advanced drilling and completion functionality, including below-main-deck riser storage, triple-fluid systems, offline conditioning capability and enhanced and third-party facilities.
"Everything is huge," Knowlton said referring to the mere scale of the latest acquisition. "These are truly remarkable machines."
The company's latest addition to its DS Series is based on Samsung's GF12000 hull design, which measures 755 by 125 ft. The vessel offers a payload of 22,000 metric tons and features a 1,250-ton hoisting system. The rig's design includes a number of advanced capabilities including redundant, offline, tubular-stand building. The 165-ton active heave-compensating, construction crane will allow deployment of subsea production equipment without interfering with ongoing drilling operations.
The rig -- initially outfitted for drilling in 10,000 ft of water -- will be equipped with dynamic positioning in compliance with DPS-3 certification; six 5.5-megawatt thrusters for enhanced station-keeping; expanded drilling fluids capacity; a 15,000-psi subsea well control system with six rams, upgradable to seven rams, and a second BOP stack; burner boom for well testing; and living quarters for up to 200 personnel.
The company's three active DP3 drillships are contracted into 2016 in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, and West Africa. ENSCO DS-6 is undergoing pre-commissioning modifications in preparation for its first well assignment under a five-year contract with BP. The company's ENSCO DS-7 is scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2013.
With the delivery of the DS-8, Ensco's ultra-deepwater fleet will have an average age of two years.

Juli 2004
BeschreibungOf the many dramatic episodes of the American Revolution, perhaps none is more steeped in legend than the Valley Forge winter. To this day schoolchildren are taught that Valley Forge was the "turning point of the Revolution"--the event that transformed a ragged group of soldiers into a fighting army. But was Valley Forge really the "crucible of victory" it has come to represent in American history? In The Valley Forge Winter, Wayne Bodle offers the first comprehensive history of the winter encampment of 1777-78. The freshness of Bodle's approach is that he offers a complete picture of events both inside and outside the camp boundaries. We see what happens when two armies descend on a diverse and divided community. Anything but stoically passive, the Continentals were effective agents on their own behalf and were actively engaged with their civilian hosts and British foes. The Valley Forge Winter is an example of the "new military history" at its best--a history that puts war back into its social context.
PortraitWayne Bodle is Assistant Professor of History at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. His articles have appeared in numerous journals, including Pennsylvania History, The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, and The William and Mary Quarterly.

Routt County is considering an alternate site for a new water treatment facility in Phippsburg.
The county has discussed a site owned by Union Pacific Railroad with the railroad, but the county is concerned a deal cannot be completed in time to break ground on the new plant this year.
Today, Routt County commissioners will discuss buying an alternate piece of land from the Iacovetto family. The 0.2-acre parcel would come in part from land subdivided from Ray and Louise Iacovetto's land and in part from land owned by Elvis Iacovetto.
Recommendations for a permit for the alternate location is scheduled to come before the Routt County Board of Planning Commissioners on Thursday. The county already has a permit for expanding facilities at the Union Pacific location.
Routt County has received a grant of $300,000 and loan of $131,000 from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs for the project, which is designed to bring the water facility up to state standards.
Phippsburg's current facility can disinfect water and control corrosion, but under the Colorado Safe Drinking Water Regulations, the water also should be filtrated. The treatment plant was built in 1980 and does not have enough space for filtration equipment, so a new building is necessary.
Michael Zopf, director of Routt County Environmental Health, said that the new site has several advantages over the original site.
First, there is better access to the land now owned by the Iacovettos. The land is on Colorado Highway 131 and Wilson Street, and a driveway of only about 50 feet would be necessary, Zopf said. That means less plowing and road maintenance.
The site owned by the railroad would require a half-mile drive along the railroad right of way east of the tracks as well as two railroad crossings, which could result in more costs, Zopf said.
The railroad site also could require an annual easement payment for the access, a payment the county would not have to make with the Iacovetto property.
"We're just keeping our options open and not only looking at the site we're trying to get from the railroad," Zopf said.
Another benefit of the Iacovetto property is that the Iacovettos are close to negotiating a deal with the county, whereas negotiations with the railroad already have gone on for 18 months without a deal.
"It's such a small matter for the railroad and such a large bureaucracy. We're dealing with multiple people at multiple locations," Zopf said.
The Iacovettos have been "longstanding supporters" of the Phippsburg Water and Sanitation District and are willing to work on a deal that benefits both parties, Zopf said.
A meeting with the Iacovettos could take place next week to start negotiating a price for the land.

Our Work
Oxfam Canada works with people to secure their basic human rights, combining support to long-term development and humanitarian responses with research, advocacy and campaigning against the root causes of poverty and injustice. The majority of the 1.2 billion people living in extreme poverty are women and girls. Systematic gender discrimination is a major cause of poverty. Oxfam Canada believes that ending global poverty begins with women's rights.
The Way We Work
Where We Work
Oxfam Canada supports long-term development, advocacy and emergency programs in many countries around the world. Our core programs are located in the Americas, the Horn of Africa, Southern Africa and South Asia.
When people are blocked from opportunity, they often need to change laws, customs, and policies. Without these changes, real progress against poverty cannot be achieved. Oxfam's economic and political analysis helps us change the minds of powerful decision makers.
While Oxfam specializes in helping communities realize individualized solutions to their problems, our work takes on universal themes. From community to community and region to region, we see people facing like challenges—and pursuing like solutions to their needs.

Tort Law Paralegal
Role of Tort Paralegal
Erin Brokovich introduced the passion of a tort paralegal to the big screen. Most tort paralegals will not be featured in a film; however, their contribution to each case is just as noteworthy. Just what does a tort paralegal do? Before we address that, let's take a brief look at Tort Law.
Tort Law
Tort Law addresses the rights, obligations, and remedies that are applied by courts in civil proceedings to provide relief for persons who have suffered harm from the wrongful acts of others. A tort suit is initiated by the victim and not by the state. The person who was injured or who suffered is called the plaintiff. The person who caused the injury or suffering, and is liable for the injury, is called the defendant.
In order for the tort suit to be prosecutable, the plaintiff must establish three elements:
- That the defendant was under a legal duty to act in a particular fashion
- That the defendant breached this duty by failing to conform his or her behavior accordingly
- That the plaintiff suffered injury or loss as a direct result of the defendant's breach
To learn more about Tort Law, view the following video on Tort Law Basics, produced by AIPS instructor, Susan Bechard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh7dtMctVvo
What does a Tort Paralegal Do?
It's important to mention that specific tasks will vary from law firm to law firm; however, there are general tasks we can outline. A tort paralegal may perform the following duties:
- Assist in trial preparation, including:
- Scheduling of discovery and depositions
- Preparation of trial notebooks
- Preparation of demonstrative evidence
- Coordination of schedules with lay and expert witnesses
- Preparation and serving of subpoenas
- Assisting in jury selection
- Draft pleadings, discovery documents, motions, deposition summaries, abstracts, correspondence and legal memorandums under the supervision of an attorney
- Initiate and conduct investigation and discovery under limited supervision
- Maintain and manage confidential file materials, including:
- Reviewing all documents containing scheduled dates and updates calendars
- Using case management system to create and maintain electronic files
- Perform legal research using all available resources to identify the most current and applicable law
- Organize and present legal research in memorandum form
- Assist in writing legal briefs

Motormount lift cons
Aside from adjusting the fan shroud what are the cons to doing a motormount lift? Oil pump sump have a harder time getting oil at steep angles? Does it mess with the operation of the computer in any way? I couldn't find shit on the subject. Does the tranny and t-case get less fluid in them because of the angle? Really fawk up the t-case linkage or bind the tranny shifting? Anybody got anything for me on the matter?
98 Tj, 4.0, ax-15, super duper 231, 44rear, sye, 6" lift, no bodylift, belly-up skid, hp30 in the front so that angle is fine.
The debate is whether to spend the money on the motormount lift or do the new JB super duper short shaft and spend more money on the 231. I genuinely don't have the money for the Atlas but do have the money for the shorter shaft conversion. The pinion is way up there giving me little fluid in the diff and giving me hell with the gayass TJ bracketry. I tried to lose a little angle and the cv starts hitting itself
My crappy build

You already have a six inch lift... You really wanna raise your CG more?
W/ the CV, your rear diff yoke has got to be pointing 1-2 deg below your TC output yoke... You can't mess w/ that relationship... As you found out, you can't just drop the pinion angle a bit w/o changing the position of the TC output yoke..
I think you'll get a lot more benefit in terms of being able to lower your pinion angle from the short shaft kit, than raising the MMs. An inch up on the MMs is probably only going to drop your TC rear output by no more than half an inch. It will affect your front drive line angles more than the rear. (If the front's ok now, you might not want to mess with it.)
You think you'll be keepin' the 231? If so, put the short shaft in it. If you think you might swap out for an Atlas some time in the future, start saving your pennies, and jack the rear up to fill the rear diff. That'll let you get it up to the normal fill level. If that's still not enough to keep the pinion front bearing lubed, you can overfill it some. Toss in about 4oz ATF w/ the overfill, to help keep it from foaming.

Weiner Admits He Sent Twitter Photos
Rep. Anthony Weiner confessed Monday that he was the one responsible for sending a lewd photo of himself to a college student on Twitter but stopped short of resigning from his post a week after first drawing fire for the image.
The website BigGovernment.com posted several pictures that appear to be New York Congressman Anthony Weiner getting intimate and topless on a webcam, and Radar.com has published a series of "sext" messages they claim were sent from Weiner to a woman they identify as "middle-aged and from Nevada."
On Monday Anthony Weiner admitted that he has had "inappropriate online conversations" with about six women over the past three years - including while being married to senior Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
The pictures and messages were posted by controversial conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who said the photos were provided by the anonymous woman and that she would be stepping forward to identify herself shortly. The New York Times reports that Breitbart said of the woman "You're going to know who this person is by tomorrow. She is going to come out of her anonymity in a very short time. She will be coming forward to communicate the means by which she received these photos. I think it will be clear that she is telling the truth."

Saul Gootnick: 'You Have to Do Baby Steps'
In Principal's Office, a regular feature of SchoolBook, a city school principal is interviewed for insights into school management and the life of a school leader. What do you think makes a good principal? Join the conversation below.
Saul Gootnick runs Forest Hills High School, one of New York City's largest and most successful high schools. At a time when small schools are in vogue and big schools are a dying breed, Forest Hills has more than 3,800 students learning on shifts, yet has earned an A on its progress report three years in a row and has an 87 percent graduation rate.
As he leads the sprawling school with its 12 assistant principals and 195 teachers, Mr. Gootnick said he tries to follow the motto, "It all begins and ends in the classroom.'' This interview was edited and condensed.
Large high schools have gotten a bum rap in New York City under Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. Do you feel like big schools are under attack?
We're a large neighborhood high school that's really succeeding. When I first took over, most people in the community didn't want to send their children here. Now everybody in the borough wants to send their children here. We're the only large high school in Queens that's gotten an A three years in a row.
What changed?
I think they realize that at our school, the focus is on education. But it's not what I did, it's what we did. It wasn't me. It's what everybody in this building did -- it's my cabinet, it's my teachers, it's secretaries, it's my paras, it's my aides. Ultimately, though, everyone has to be on the same page, because if you're not on the same page, there's going to be some problems.
What are some of the initiatives you launched after you became principal?
Compared to schools in our neighborhood, our attendance wasn't as good as it should have been. Also, not enough of our students were taking the Regents exams. They were taking the classes, but not the exams.
What did you do about attendance?
We made it a priority. We created an attendance coordinator position. We used to take attendance during periods 2 and 10 -- we have 12 periods -- but we realized that lot of students were not showing up for first period. So now, beginning in December, we take attendance in Period One class and if a kid isn't here, we make a phone call home. The result has been, Period One attendance has increased by 30 percent.
Attendance is fundamental to everything. If a child is not in school, he can't pass his classes.
What changes did you make with the Regents exams?
Every kid has to take the Regents now if they take advanced placement classes. And we said, if you don't take the Regents, you can't be on a team or go to the prom.
What are some of the advantages for students to attend a school this size?
We don't just have art classes, we have cartooning classes and other art classes.
We run the gamut. We offer foreign language classes in French, Italian, Hebrew, Spanish and Chinese. We added Chinese this year. We're hoping to add Russian because we have a large Russian population, but we haven't been able to find a Russian teacher. If you know anybody who can teach Russian ...
We're always challenging ourselves. We have small learning communities. We have the Academy of Public Service. We have an Economic Academy. We have a robotics team. We have a chorus academy.
As a large high school, if a kid has some conflict with a teacher, we have the ability to make a change. There's not just one teacher teaching math, there's not just one teacher teaching English.
What percentage of your students are from the neighborhood?
About 40 percent.
You have some programs that are a big draw for students outside of your neighborhood. What are some of those?
We have the Law and Humanities Institute. It's the seventh most popular program in New York City. We have really taken this program and created an environment that children want to come to. We also have the Carl Sagen Science and Math Honors Academy.
Your building is over capacity. How do you make that work for students and teachers?
We have staggered entry times for most of the day up to 11:15. There are three major ones. Our seniors and juniors come in at 7:20 a.m. and go to 1:48 p.m. Students in specialized programs and other programs come in at 8:30 to about 3:27. The freshmen and sophomores come in at 10:35 and leave at 5:06.
I don't want to give you the impression that we're proud of the overcrowding. We're not. No one wants students to be in school til 5 in the afternoon, but it's our success. Students want to come here.
You started your career in education as a teacher, didn't you?
I was a social studies teacher at Francis Lewis High School for 13 years. Then in 1997 I came to this school as the social studies assistant principal. I truly am the old fashioned model of what a principal was. I worked my way through the ranks.
The one thing I miss most as a principal is that I'm not in the classroom. It would give me so much pride when I would go to a store, for example, and I'd run into someone and they'd say: 'Mr. Gootnick, you were my teacher. You were really good!' I understand what it's like to be a teacher. I understand the pressure that teachers are under.
How do you change the culture and climate of a school this large?
A big school is like a cruise ship. How do you get it to go in a different direction? Remember the movie "What About Bob?" with Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfus? They talked about baby steps.
You have to do baby steps. People don't want to hear that something that they've been doing forever is wrong.
You have to have a plan and you have to make people believe in what you think. The one thing I've learned when I was as principal is that I never ask any teacher to do anything I wouldn't do myself.
Schools and teachers are under a lot of pressure with all the test data and evaluations. Are these tools helping you as a principal?
Everybody gets nervous about the data. When we get test data at midyear, we might have to make some adjustments. I'm a sports fan so I'll give you a sports analogy. A good coach doesn't yell and scream at his players at half time. The good coaches are the ones that make the right adjustments at half time. He says, this is what we've done up to this point. This is what we're going to do after this point to win the game.
Before I started teaching I was a buyer in men's outerwear for Macy's. I had a boss who always said to me, 'Don't look at the things we're doing well, but at things we're not doing well.' There's no need to spend a lot of time thinking of all the things you're doing right. He used to say, 'If you pat yourself on the back enough, you'll get a stiff neck.'
How has Mayor Bloomberg changed things?
Bloomberg is asking us to change things. Bloomberg is asking us to look at things in different ways. And that's a good thing. Questioning yourself is a positive thing.
Running a school of this size sounds really complicated. Why did you want to take on this challenge?
My feeling is, whatever job you do, every 10 years you should do something different. You get stagnant. Every day here is a challenge. Some days it's good challenges, some days it's bad challenges. But ultimately why do we all go into education? Didn't we go into education to help children? To help children, to solve problems. To look at ideas in different ways.
In a building this size, the key is to challenge yourself. See what you want to do and to always challenge yourself.

TNGA Reps. M. Hill-Micah Van Huss Anti-UN Whine Bill: HB0589
The documented back story of how Tea Party political payback over an anti-United Nations bill in the Tennessee House of Representatives earlier this year (2013) killed the popular Tennessee "Wine in Grocery Stores" bill that was widely expected to be enacted into law:
Tennessee General Assembly (TNGA) House Rep. Micah Van Huss (R, Jonesborough) on March 7, 2013 presenting his HB0589 legislation seeking to somehow prevent United Nations observers from monitoring Tennessee elections before the TNGA House Calendar and Rules Committee chaired by Rep. Bill Dunn (R, Knoxville).
Rep. Matthew Hill (R- Jonesborough; chairman of the full TNGA House Local Government Committee) voted yes for HB0610 (a TNGA bill popularly referred to as the Tennessee "Wine in Grocery Stores" Bill) on March 6, 2013 --- just one day before Rep. Jon Lundberg (R, Bristol) would be successful in routing HB0589 by Rep. Micah Van Huss back into Rep. Lundberg's own Civil Justice Subcommittee where Van Huss' anti-United Nations bill would later fail on constitutional grounds on March 26, 2013.
Chairman Matthew Hill killed the HB0610 on March 12, 2013 with his own vote after Lundberg's Tennessee Wine in Grocery Stores bill was presented as the last item of the agenda before Rep. Hill's Local Government Committee. HB0610 failed with a widely unexpected 7-8 vote.
Rep. Lundberg was denied the "common courtesy" and long-standing Tennessee General Assembly practice of rolling HB0610 forward on Chairman Matthew Hill's committee calendar for one week.
The Van Huss HB0589 anti-United Nations legislation as imagined by both Reps. Micah Van Huss and Matthew Hill somehow prohibit representatives of the United Nations from monitoring Tennessee elections.
Freshman legislator Rep. Van Huss is a long-time friend and legislative ward of Rep. Matthew Hill and they both represent Washington County within the Tennessee House of Representatives.

Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence
Vitamin D and Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis is an immune-mediated disease. It is likely that vitamins and minerals can have a positive effect on the immune system and its function. There are two nutrients that stand out as having a positive effect: Vitamin D and Calcium. People with MS are advised to take Vitamin D supplements and to have their blood Vitamin D levels checked at regular intervals. Vitamin D has important effects on the function of the immune system. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked with an increased risk of developing MS. This was initially shown in a study performed in a cohort of nurses in which it was found that an increased intake of vitamin D, either in the diet or in the form of supplements, was associated with a lower risk of MS. Another study of blood serum samples from military personnel showed that individuals who had the highest levels of vitamin D had the lowest risk of developing the disease, and individuals with lower levels of Vitamin D had higher risks of developing MS.
It is currently recommended that the average person take up to 2,000 international units (IU) of Vitamin D in combination with 1,000-1,200 milligrams (mg) of calcium. Research studies indicate that these two nutrients work together and are best absorbed in the system when taken with food. However, common recommended doses of vitamin D in people with MS are between 1,000-4,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day. Before taking any Vitamin and mineral supplement you should check with your health care provider on the proper dose because some people might develop complications related to supplement toxicity. It is possible to check blood levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D and to use the result as a guide for how much vitamin D should be taken. A normal range for 25-hydroxy vitamin D level in blood is 30.0 to 74.0 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Levels between 20-30 ng/ml are referred to as insufficient, and vitamin D deficiency is defined as levels less than 20 ng/ml.
A large number of studies have provided further information regarding the effects of vitamin D in MS. These include evidence that higher vitamin D levels are associated with lower numbers of new lesions as well as less brain atrophy on MRI. Higher vitamin D levels were not clearly associated with a lower chance of relapses, but people with MS were found to be less likely to develop worse symptoms. Such information suggests that taking vitamin D can have some beneficial effects. Unfortunately, as of this date, clinical trials testing Vitamin D supplements on a person's course of MS do not demonstrate any beneficial effect. It has been found, however, that taking specific vitamin and mineral supplements can have a positive effect on people's immune system.
People with MS should discuss all of their over-the-counter and prescription vitamin and mineral supplements with their health care provider . Additional information related to vitamin D and MS can be found on the website of the National MS Society at http://www.nationalmssociety.org and National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements at http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/list-all/VitaminD/

Knebworth 1986: Fan Feature By Rob Fletcher
Knebworth 1986. My Memories of the Day.
By Rob Fletcher
I had seen Queen in 1978 at Bingley Hall Stafford and was desperate to see them again so like thousands of fans, I had applied for tickets to the shows at Wembley Stadium. This was before the days of the internet when you logged onto a site and tried to buy tickets. I did not even have a cheque book back then so had to get a mate to write a cheque and post it off. The envelope came through the post and I opened it in anticipation. Sadly it only contained my mate's cheque. It looked like my chance had gone.
A couple of months later I heard about a final show on the tour to be played at Knebworth House. I don't know where I came across this news. It could have been Teletext or something. Life was so much simpler then. A local travel firm was selling coach and ticket packages. I spent a fair bit of time phoning my girlfriend of the time to see if she wanted to come along. She got back to me to say yes so on the Saturday morning I went into the coach firm's office and came out with a pair of tickets. I was going to see the greatest band in the world again.
We were due to set off at 07.00 on Saturday 9th August. On the Friday before, I must have called and left messages for my girlfriend to get in touch as I had not heard from her and did not know what time she was coming through to Hull. Thankfully I finally got in touch at half past eleven at night. She was in Hull and would meet me in the morning at the pick up point.
The next morning I woke to see it was a sunny morning. Bleary eyed I set about making some sandwiches and stuff to get us through the day. I also put in a couple of bottles of fizzy drinks, more of that later.
We left Hull in high spirits at seven o clock on the journey south and arrived at Knebworth about five hours later. Armed with my carrier back of supplies, we got off the coach and headed to the concert site.
We were met by a phalanx of security guards, one of whom insisted he search my bag. He spied the fizzy pop and told me I could not take it in. At this point I noticed bins full of 2 litre bottles of every fizzy drink you could think of. With an air of resignation, I took my bottles out of the bag and decided to have a drink before dumping them. That was a mistake as they had fizzed up on the ooach. As I opened the bottle, it literally exploded and lemonade went everywhere, including all over the security guard. He was not impressed and for a second, I thought I was going to be refused admission. Fortunately his mate saw the funny side of things and defused the situation.
In we went into the site about the first thing I saw was stalls selling bottles of pop at exorbant prices. Being a Northerner, I was not impressed. However we needed something to drink as it was scorching hot so i parted with a few pounds grudgingly.
We found a spot inside the venue and sat down. I then decided I wanted a t shirt. Off I went and of course my girlfriend did not like the one I bought. I still have the same problem when buying clothes today with my wife.
So there we are waiting for the concert to start watching videos on the screen above the stage lapping up the sunshine. Then she dropped a bombshell, she had left her inhaler on the coach and suggested that I went back to the coach to get it. As if that was ever going to happen. My advice was to not have an asthma attack. I was a heartless sod back then too.
Suddenly people started pointing at the sky. A helicopter flew overhead painted with the A Kind Of Magic design from the album. A huge cheer went out and people waved madly. The band had arrived.
There were still several hours to go before Queen were due on but the atmosphere was something else. There were people as far as the eye could see and I've got four of them. You could feel the atmosphere and almost taste the anticipation of the masses waiting for their heroes. The audience is reckoned to be 120,000 or so. That is still the biggest single crowd I have ever been in. It was certainly an experience.
At last the concert got under way. Some singer called Beloius Some came on stage. He had just had a hit with a song called Imagination which had rather a racy video. One rumour doing the rounds was that he was Freddie's current love interest so had got the gig on the back of that. Even Freddie had better taste than that. He went down like a lead balloon and got the first hail of bottles. Probably why they wouldn't let us bring ours in. Maybe they thought the ones on sale in the site wouldn't fly as far. Thankfully he was only on for a short while.
Then came the Quo, Status Quo for those of a more tender age. They had split a couple of years previously but had got back together and had a hit with In The Army Now. One story suggests that John Deacon had heard the song, or was it Roger, and told them they had to release it. They did so and it got quite high in the charts.
Quo rocked as only Quo can. Their music is pretty basic and not to everyone's taste but they do get a crowd going. Hits like Caroline, Whatever You Want and Rocking All Over The World had people up and bouncing around. Famously one of their roadies got onto the Starvision screen with a huge inflatable guitar. That went down badly with the Quo though and apparently he was sacked.
Next up was Big Country. I thought they were brilliant that day but I was in a minority. Hundreds and hundreds of bottles flew through the air as Queen fans, waiting for their heroes, showed their displeasure. One guy standing near me was hit and blood poured from a cut on his head. My girlfriend suggested I deal with it as I was a nurse. Like I had a first aid kit on me. I must have left it on the coach with her inhaler. Pity I didn't leave her on the coach, life would have been more tranquil. Maybe if they had been on before Quo, they might have gone down better. But by the time they hit the stage, everyone was getting impatient for Queen. They were still good though.
By now anticipation was at fever point. People had found their spot from which to watch Queen. No one was going to move an inch even for a pee. Not that I needed one, I wasn't going to spend any more of my cash on over inflated lemonade let alone beer. And I had heard whispers that the toilets were rather basic.
Eventually as twilight started to approach, the intro for One Vision blasted from the stage. I have never heard a roar so loud. Queen burst onto stage and Freddie belted out the opening lines of the song. It was party time. Within minutes he was controlling the audience like the master he was. We sang, we danced, and we did whatever he asked us to do.
Hit followed hit. We sang along, we danced and we clapped and cheered every single song. One highlight as always was Love of my Life. Freddie handed part of the song to the audience as was his custom. I was at one of the very first gigs when Freddie did this at Bingley Hall way back in 1978. My girlfriend clutched my hand as we sang along. As the applause rang out at the end of the song, I swear she had tears in her eyes. She said something about how that song would always be our special song. We split up a few months later though.
To be honest, after all the waiting, the Queen set flew by. The hand clapping on Radio Ga Ga was amazing with 120,000 pairs of hands all clapping in unison. It sounded like a repeated thunderclap. All too soon, Freddie sang the last lines of We Are The Champions and then stood there in that famous pose as God Save The Queen brought the show to an end. Little did we know that would be the very last time Freddie would stand in front of a Queen audience.
Then as we all trooped out, some clown turned off all the lights and we were plunged into the kind of darkness one associates with the middle of nowhere. You could hardly see the person in front of you and he/she was literally right in front of you. It took an age to get to the coach and then we were held for hours whilst the police searched for information regarding the tragedy of a fan being stabbed.
It must have been close to 3am when we finally set off home. I remember stopping at a service station on the A1 and getting a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea. You would not believe a sandwich from a service station could taste so good.
We finally got back to Hull at 8.30 on the Sunday morning, over 24 hours after we had set off. By then the buzz had subsided and I needed to sleep. Trouble was I was still high, not through anything illegal of course. After an hour or so I gave up, got out of bed and hit the pub.
If I had got tickets for Wembley, I doubt I would have got to Knebworth so in a way that was a blessing in disguise. I am glad to be able to say I was part of that last crowd to see Queen as the original line up. It was an amazing day. People might claim that the band were not on top form. Trust me, being part of that audience it really didn't matter. I can look back with pride and say, I was there.
Knebworth was a real highlight of my time as a Queen fan. To be part of what we now know was the last gig they played together is something no one can take away from me. I know of other fans from Queenonline who were there. If only we had the internet back then, to be a part of a historic gig with people from this site would have just about been the icing on the cake.
There were other Queen related gigs. Bingley Hall, the Tribute gig, Brian May in Nottingham and Queen plus Paul Rodgers in 2005 and 2008. Nothing comes close to the magnificence of Knebworth though. Nothing ever will.

Knebworth 1986: Fan Feature By Rob Fletcher
Steve clarke
Hi Rob,I was also at knebworth that amazing day ,we arrived just as Status Quo were coming off stage ,nobody checked us for tickets they just opened the wide gates so people just streamed in.We managed to find a space close to the mixing desk great view while ducking bottles of pee.When the concert finished we went back to our car about 23.30 pm we sate in the car until about 3am without moving ,we were lucky to be next to a camper van who supplied us with tea.At about 2.30 am I walked down to were the police were shepherding the cars out and I said how much longer until we get out and he said I won't be long now,I asked him is it always like this and he said its is normally quiet bad but we estimated that 200 thousand people had got it in so that's why it's taking so long.
Julian Bentley
What a delight to read about your day at Knebworth 1986. I can confess I had tears in my eyes reading your piece. I was there also, me and 4 of my mates all 16 and fresh faced! It was as you say an outstanding day and it simply confirmed to me, at that young age, that Queen are indeed the best band that has ever been and I would challenge anybody to contest that. Freddie was one of the most talented individuals that ever walked the earth. He was a master at his art and nobody could argue against that. When I listen to Queen albums, especially the early to mid life stuff ,they make me cry, sing my heart out, laugh, just about evokes every emotion !! Such a shame for some people they only realised how good Queen were, are, until they stole the show at Live Aid!!
Thanks again. I'll never forget that day.
RIP Freddie. We miss you X

The national one-day title had only been in Auckland's hands a few minutes when captain Gareth Hopkins was thinking ahead to next summer.
The three-wicket win over Canterbury was Auckland's fourth limited-overs title in the last five seasons, a mix of two T20 HRV Cup crowns (2010-11, 2011-12) and two Ford Trophies (2010-11 and this season).
Their prowess at the shorter forms isn't in doubt, but when it comes to first-class cricket it has been a different story.
Auckland won the Plunket Shield in the 2008-09 season, but since then it has been a lean period, and does raise the issue of whether it is possible, given a restriction of 14 contracted players per major association, for one team to win all three titles, which require a range of different skills.
"I know a few of the guys are pretty desperate. We've been disappointing in that (competition) for a number of years. That's the big one for us," Hopkins said.
Not to take away from the shorter forms in which this season Auckland were demonstrably the best side, the only one to win five games in the truncated eight-round format.
Their batting has been outstanding, highlighted by scoring eight of the 20 centuries in the competition.
Yesterday, their bowlers stood tall, trimming Canterbury to 139 in just 34.5 overs. The seamers did their job impressively, Canterbury were guilty of some poor shot selection, and the Auckland fielding was top drawer.
Both Colin Munro and Colin de Grandhomme took dazzling catches, while Anaru Kitchen's running out of tailender Matt Henry provided a snappy finishing touch.
Auckland's penchant for fast scoring stayed with them to the end of the competition and the job was done in 25.1 overs, with Hopkins on 34, hitting the winning runs.
"It's nice to do it in a final, but that's my job, to be there at the end. The boys won it in the field, and with the ball. I thought 139 was never in doubt," he said.
Canterbury were disappointed not to have turned in a strong display on the big stage, but scrapped to the end, left armer Ryan McCone and captain Andrew Ellis keeping the flame burning with a succession of wickets, as Auckland lost their way briefly late on.
"When there were 10 to get (and six wickets down) I thought we had a sniff, but they were a tad too close," Ellis said.
"We definitely feel deflated. Hindsight is a great thing, but what would have happened if we had another 40."
Seven of the 10 top runmakers in the competition came from the finalists; six of the 10 leading wicket takers are from the same teams.
They were worthy finalists. One team played particularly well, the other were left to rue a lost opportunity.

AUSTIN, Texas — Got meat? Got cheese? Maudie's does, in spades.
The small chain of Tex-Mex restaurants, with five locations in Austin, serves up far too many delicious dishes to try during a weeklong festival. But the words "chili con queso" and "covered with our delicious chile con carne sauce" play prominently on the Maudie's menu, so that's what we tried.
The Maggie's Plate ($7.25), a cheese enchilada covered with that chile con carne sauce and served with a crispy taco and chips slathered with chili con queso, was indeed delicious, as advertised. Heart-warming and satisfying, in fact, delivering that belly-pleasing dose of happy that you can only get from a combo of tasty mellow spices and melted cheese.
It's not all about the meat, though: The Vegetarian Fajitas ($7 for one) come with gilled tomatoes, onions and yellow and green peppers, with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese on the side.
Wash it all down with some iced tea or beer, and you're in for a treat.
At Maudie's Too, located at 1212 S. Lamar Blvd., the pleasant front patio and relaxed dining room make for quite a kicked-back experience. The restaurant, which proclaims you're about to enter "Tex-Mex Heaven" on its outside wall, is just around the corner from South by Southwest Film fest venue the
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, making it a perfect place to stop for a pre-screening meal.
With solid food and friendly service, it's pretty close to heaven indeed.

Record $1.5 Billion Weekly Inflow Into Loan Funds – BofA
It was another record week for bank loan fund inflows, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, which counts a $1.5 billion weekly inflow into loan funds. BofA notes that the asset class keeps breaking its own recently set records:
Interestingly, the top 11 weekly inflows (in dollar terms) into US loan funds historically have each come over the past 11 weeks. US loan fund assets under management have grown by +23.5% (+$18bn) year-to-date, greater than the cumulative inflow into loan funds during all of 2012 (+$11.5bn; +21.7%).
BofA points out that U.S. junk-bond funds remain out of investor favor, with an inflow of just $62 million this week while non-U.S. high-yield funds reported their second outflow of the year at -$212 million.
Daniel Gamba, who heads the iShares institutional ETF business at BlackRock, was just on CNBC talking about the popularity of floating-rate funds such as the iShares Floating Rate Note ETF (FLOT), which he says has quadrupled in size (my colleague Brendan Conway wrote recently that floating rate ETFs ballooned in size by 83% in the first quarter of this year). Gamba also points out that while investors may be rotating within income markets into loans from bonds, they're not rotating out of bonds and into stocks, but instead money has been coming "off the sideline" (likely cash and money-market funds) to move into equities.

Date of Stay: November, 2011
We only stayed 1 night, but the staff was extremely friendly. The sites were very easy to get in and out, with out unhooking. All of the facilities seemed clean. The only down fall: anyplace off the roadways, was covered with thistles. Tough on a dog.
Date of Stay: November, 2011
This park was beautiful with nice big sites. Loved watching the deer come in every night. The pools looked incredible but are not heated, so the water was to cold to get in. The bathroom has been newly renovated but needed to be cleaned a little more often. We enjoyed our stay and would love to go again.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
What an extremely clean park: the bathrooms shine. The staff was great. They lead me to my site and helped me with a leak at my water heater: no charge. He spent over an hour working on it with me; also gave me parts out of his own supplies. The streets seemed narrow, do to a lot of trees. But there was plenty of room to get in with my 40 foot rig. I would love an opportunity to return to this park when the season is going.

GFK Mystery Shopping Refuses to pay for completed shops New York New York
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I have been a mystery shopping for 13 years. In all that time, I have never found a company as frustrating as GFK.
I completed five shops for them successfully. I was attach receipts for each one. I have never been able to attach a receipt, using either my home or work computer, and either Internet Explorer or Google Chrome; therefore, the problem cannot be on my end. I do not have trouble attaching receipts to other similar websites.
I completed a shop on 7/20. I could not attach the receipts. I emailed the scheduler, twice. No response either time. Three days later, the shop was cancelled.
I emailed the company, asking for help. Three days later, someone finally opened my email and wanted to know what program I was using. Silly question. . .since I emailed GFK, I'm guessing I'm using GFK's program.
This person pretended to help and reposted the shop so I could submit. Same thing. I was unable to attach the receipts. I emailed with no response, and three days later the shop was cancelled.
This is a joke, and I should feel lucky that I am only out $20. Do not shop for them. If you have technical difficulties, they will not respond.

Since June 12, the world's attention has turned to Brazil. As a fledgling market increasingly hoping to compete with elite cities in fashion and style, Nike took the opportunity to launch the expansive country's first ever pop-up shop: Nike 1994. Located in São Paulo's bustling Vila Madalena neighborhood, Nike 1994 occupies a spot amongst a vibrant crowd of bar-goers and football fans alike within the area. Within its small courtyard and doors, Nike 1994 represents a beautifully constructed space providing a great opportunity to showcase many of Nike's lifestyle football endeavors to visitors and locals alike. The latter have become increasingly thirsty for knowledge and education within the lifestyle and sneaker worlds.
Taking center stage is the newly launched Nike F.C. concept which aims to bring a premium off-field accompaniment to Nike's performance arsenal. Elsewhere around the store — which on this evening served as the official Brazilian release of the "Gold Hypervenom" Pack — this season's releases and regional exclusives from Nike Energy and Nike Sportswear are available alongside two of the American brand's future football icons, the Magista and the Flyknit Mercurial Superfly IV. Not to be outdone, the top floor includes its own section dedicated to Nike and SOPHNET.'s collaborative F.C.R.B. range. In a final captivating piece within the space, a series of overhead aerial photographs representing football among the favelas and cityscapes of Brazil comes courtesy of DOC Galeria, who've captured the intense relationship shared between Brazilians and the game they've become synonymous with.
Nike 1994 will remain open from now until August.

According to the report the men identified as "Abolfazl Faraei" (28), "Reza Roshanfekr" (27) and "Seyed Rokneddin Karimi" (28) were convicted of killing security officers two years ago. They were also convicted of kidnapping and armed robbery said the report.
The charges have not been confirmed by independent sources.
Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, the spokesperson of IHR, condemned today's hangings and said: "Public hanging is a barbaric act that should not be tolerated by the world community in 2011". He added: "Public hanging is also an offence against the society and is solely meant to spread fear in the society".

Three were executed in the city of Shiraz for armed robbery, kidnapping and murdering two security personnel, the report said.
A fourth man was hanged in Takhteh Kenar for murdering eight people, it added.
The latest hangings bring to 97 the number of executions so far this year in Iran, according to an AFP count based on media reports. [According to sources contacted by this blog, at least 92 executions were carried out in Iran in January 2011 alone.]

In 2009, 388 people were executed, according to international human rights groups, making Iran second only to China in the number of people it put to death.
The Islamic republic says the death penalty is essential to maintain law and order and is applied only after exhaustive judicial proceedings.

June's surprisingly weak retail sales increase came as surging gasoline prices and mortgage rates weighed on already-tepid wage growth.
Sales rose 0.4% from May, the Commerce Department said Monday, but that was just half the gain analysts were expecting. The prior month's increase of 0.5% also was revised down from an initial reading of 0.6%.
Spending at restaurants and bars fell 1.2%, double May's 0.6% drop and the worst monthly retreat since early 2008. Building material stores' sales sank 2.2%, the most in more than a year, after two months of solid growth.
U.S. stock indexes edged up, helped by Citigroup's (C) quarterly earnings, strong New York factory activity, and Chinese GDP data that weren't as bad as feared. The retail sales data also may give the Federal Reserve a reason to delay tapering its bond buying. The 10-year Treasury yield fell.
Auto sales rose 1.8%, in line with earlier unit-sales reports. Gas stations rang up 0.7% more, picking up from May's 0.4% increase, as prices rebounded from an earlier slide. Gas prices are rising further this month as crude prices soar.
Excluding autos, gas and building materials, June sales edged up 0.1%, the weakest since payroll tax hikes took effect in January.
It's difficult to directly attribute less consumption to higher gas prices, though they do have an effect, especially on lower-income workers, said Jack Kleinhenz, chief economist at the National Retail Federation.
The spike in mortgage rates is also drying up demand for refinancing, which was allowing homeowners to cut monthly payments and free up more money to spend elsewhere, he noted.
Wage growth has been low too, and higher payroll taxes plus federal budget cuts continue to hold back spending. Economists have been slashing forecasts for Q2 gross domestic product, and the latest retail sales figures could make even those estimates tough to meet.
"It's part and parcel with the way the economy is going, which is slow growth," Kleinhenz said.
The reversal in building material sales may have been due to a warm spring pulling demand forward, he added. A rush to refurbish homes before the spring selling season, which started with a burst of new inventory, also might have slowed June home improvement.
Furniture sales climbed 2.4%, suggesting there wasn't a sudden downturn in housing, said Andrew Grantham, an economist at CIBC World Markets.
Higher gas prices may not have had that much of an impact, he said, noting that spending at restaurants can be choppy and that gas sales didn't rise as much as he expected last month.
But consumers might be trying to save money again after spending through much of the early part of the payroll tax increase.
"It's possible households are having to come around finally to higher tax rates and lower real income," Grantham said.
