The Veterinary Medicines Directorate is encouraging vets to complete a questionnaire on prescribing under the cascade.
The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) is encouraging vets to complete a questionnaire on prescribing under the cascade.
The online survey aims to find out vets' general knowledge of the cascade, as well as finding out more about general prescribing practices.
According to the VMD, the European Commission is considering amending legal provisions relating to the cascade as part of its review of the Veterinary Medicinal Products (VMP) directive, which provides the basis for the UK controls on veterinary medicines set out nationally in the Veterinary Medicines Regulations.
Once the directorate has more information about how the cascade is used on a daily basis by vets, it says it will be "better placed" to represent the UK's interests and hopefully influence the commission's review.
The questionnaire can be found on the VMD's website.
It should, says the directorate, take 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
Partially completed surveys can be saved and completed at a later date and all responses will be on an anonymous basis. The questionnaire will be available until July 12.
Contact Lea Reynolds at email@example.com or telephone 01932 338321 for more information on the survey. More information is available here about the VMP directive.

DISCLAIMER: All the characters contained within belongs to JKR. I am making no profit from this
Like all good tales, our story had the most unlikely of beginnings. We find ourselves in a library,
two people are sitting at a table, though it is difficult to see them due to the amount of books that
surround them. These are people who are engrossed in their studies. Apart from the rustle of
books as pages are turned and the scratch of quills, all is quiet. It is inevitable, then, that the
peace should be disrupted. In this case, by a resounding crash and the outburst of giggling.
Startled and disorientated, Harry Potter jumped at the sudden noise in the library. Looking up, he noted the torchlight flickering in the corners, indicating it was later then he thought and Dennis Creevey on the floor. Obviously the creator of the crash, Dennis Creevey, blushing, picked himself up off the floor to more giggling from the group of girls at a table nearer the door.
Exchanging an irritated look with his study companion, Harry attempted to return his attention to the text in front of him. Halfway down the page, he had the sensation of being watched. An upward glance was rewarded by another outburst of giggling. Stretching the kinks from his back, he began gathering up the books in front of him.
At Hermione's concerned look he explained, "My brain feels fried and I'm not going to be able to concentrate anyway, with them over there analysing and giggling over my every move."
To demonstrate his point, he stretched again, causing more nudging, whispering and giggling.
"Ok, Just let me finish this paragraph and we can walk up together."
While Hermione finished up, a slight smile touched his lips as he pondered the fact that here he was, in the library on a Saturday night doing ' a little light reading'. This last thought caused a snort to involuntarily escape him as he surveyed the multitude of heavy tomes in front of him. On top of the regular classes he had chosen for his N.E.W.T.S, it had been decided that he should take some advanced study in preparation for his confrontation with Voldemort, including extra D.A.D.A. classes with Professor Lupin.
He had also continued the D.A. and felt extremely grateful to Professor's McGonagall and Dumbledore for organising a time turner. Otherwise, it simply wouldn't have been possible for him to have fulfilled his schedule. If, at times, he felt extremely drained as though he was living two weeks for every one that passed, well, that was something he could live with, especially if it meant he was well prepared. The sense of alienation from his classmates, especially when it came to the things they found important, was something he found a little harder to bear.
" Well that's that finished. Help me re-shelve these and we'll be able to leave sooner."
"Good thinking there. I knew there was a reason you were the brain of our group."
Once the books were re-shelved, they walked in silence to the Gryffindor common room which
was a hive of activity and pranks. Ron and Lavender were snuggled together on a chair
attempting a simultaneous tonsillectomy.
Exasperated Hermione exclaimed " Really Ron, couldn't you find a better time and place to do that?" as she attempted to restore order before stomping up to the girl's dorm.
Once Lavender and Ron had managed to say goodnight amid more kissing and "I love you's", Ron asked, " What exactly is her problem? It's not like we were the only couple here."
"Well, you are a prefect, Ron and Hermione has a lot on her plate. She'd probably appreciate some help in keeping discipline! Then again, sometimes, single people don't appreciate having the whole " happy couple" thing shoved into our faces."
"All Hermione thinks about are books and the N.E.W.T.S!"
"It doesn't mean that she wouldn't like someone to appreciate her for whom she is rather then as someone they can use as a study guide!"
This statement was greeted by stunned silence as Ron struggled to make a response. Just as Harry was about to say goodnight, Ron invited Harry to play a game of chess. As they made their opening moves, Ron, apparently still having no response to Harry's comment, changed the topic to Quidditch and Gryffindor's chances against Ravenclaw. Eventually, the talk changed as these things do, " I heard that cute sixth year Hufflepuff Emma something or other has a crush on you"
A light blush graced Harry's cheeks at this.
"Do you ever think of doing anything about your fans? I know things didn't work out between you and Cho but..."
"I don't know, it's just all the girls seem really silly and always giggling. I just can't talk to them."
"There are more things to do then talk, you know?"
" I know but it's not just that. I've taken on a lot of work and I'm not sure I have time for another person in my life. How many times have you broken up with Lavender over Quidditch practice? I don't need that kind of hassle right now. If I did go out with someone, then I'd need them to appreciate the pressure I'm under and to realise that everything can't revolve around them. I'd like to be able to talk things through with them too. I guess I want a lot!"
"Are you sure that you and Hermione shouldn't be together?" Asked Ron with a glint in his eyes.
"I care about Hermione but I don't see her that way."
That apparently ended the conversation as no more was said, until Ron called Checkmate. Harry decided that this was a good time to call it a night.
While preparing for, and getting into bed, Harry replayed the conversation with Ron over in his head. While it would be nice to have someone special in his life, it simply wouldn't be fair to them. He didn't have time in his life for someone else and then, there was the fact that he didn't fancy painting a bullseye on another person for both the press and Voldemort to attack. Listening to some of his mates, relationships seemed like more hassle then they were worth, at least, relationships with your peers. On this thought, Harry began to doze off.
Several hours later, Harry Potter was embroiled in a nightmare familiar to him. Sirius Back, his
godfather, was about to fall through the veil. Taking control of his dream, he managed to distract
Bellatrix into flinging the curse at him. Abruptly, the dream changed and he had the sensation of
hands and, he surmised, though he had no experience, lips, exploring his body. A trail of kisses
was laid along his stomach towards his..... When the mysterious person raised their head to smile
mischievously. With a gasp, he awoke aroused and his heart racing. Grabbing his glasses, he
staggered towards the bathroom, in spite of the late hour, his mind was awhirl with questions
and confused thoughts. Stumbling back to bed, sleep proved elusive as more and more thoughts
intruded. The next thing he knew Ron was shaking him. Ignoring him, he burrowed deeper under
the blankets, muttering that it was a Sunday, he could have a lie in if he wanted and five more
minutes please.
"Harry, mate, you've already missed breakfast. Surely you don't want to miss lunch as well."
Abruptly, Harry leapt from the bed. Throwing his clothes on, he made to leave the dorm.
"I'd have a look in the mirror first!" Ron said with a laugh.
Grumbling, Harry made his way to the bathroom where, on reflection, he had to concede that Ron had a point and it might be better if he went for a shower first.

Vancouver Sun - Canadian researchers using high-tech imaging in efforts to validate chronic pain
Canadian researchers are trying to stamp out once and for all the skepticism faced by many who suffer severe, persistent pain. The revolution in research Canadians are helping to lead is aimed at showing just how real pain is.
Canadian researchers are trying to stamp out once and for all the skepticism faced by many who suffer severe, persistent pain. The revolution in research Canadians are helping to lead is aimed at showing just how real pain is.
Researchers are using high-tech imaging to show the human brain in the act of processing pain. They're discovering how unrelenting, day-in and day-out pain can change the brain's anatomy (pain shrinks the brain in some areas) and how those abnormal changes can be reversed with successful treatment. They're discovering just how often poorly treated pain after surgery morphs into chronic pain that can last for years.
In Quebec, 3,500 patients are being followed in what is believed to be the largest registry of chronic-pain patients in the world — a massive undertaking that could unlock answers to one of the most universal of all human experiences, including what factors predispose us to chronic pain, and what perpetuates it. The goal across this research spectrum is to reduce suffering and banish the idea that pain that doesn't respond to treatment — or that seems wholly out of sync with any physical finding — isn't genuine.
"There is a huge social change that is happening," says Dr. Fernando Cervero, director of the Alan Edwards Centre for Research on Pain at McGill University, one of the world's leading pain research centres. "We are in a way leading, but also society is leading it. People are saying, 'Why do we have to live with pain?'"
"You can take a picture of somebody's spine and it looks absolutely normal and perfect, and yet they have horrible pain. So where is the pain?" asks renowned pain researcher Dr. Ronald Melzack, professor emeritus of psychology at McGill University. "That's the pain we need to start concentrating on."
Pain, he says, used to get three pages in the medical textbooks. Pain was a sensation, he says, "it didn't mean suffering." Nearly 40 years ago, Melzack helped put a language to pain with the McGill Pain Questionnaire, a tool now used the world over to assess pain. It consists of 78 pain descriptors - words such as pounding, drilling, quivering, stabbing, shooting, exhausting, sickening, suffocating - to try to describe suffering. Each is rated on a five-point scale - the higher the pain score, the greater the pain.
But it was his "gate control" theory of pain that revolutionized pain science. In 1965, Melzack and his colleague, MIT neuroscientist Patrick Wall, published a theory that challenged the idea that there was a one-way, skin-to-brain "pain pathway."

The Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG "Edition 1" will have its world debut on March 5 at the Geneva Motor Show. It has a sales release date of April 8 and it will be launched to the market in Germany this June. It is truly a standout when it comes to its technical performance as well as its looks. Like the CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake, the fully appointed "Edition 1" model variant comes with an impressive series of details for its exterior and interior.
The motorsport link is emphasized on the A 45 AMG "Edition 1". The exterior paint finish in cirrus white matches up to the AMG sports stripes in matt graphite grey on the bonnet, roof and sides.
Meanwhile, there are red highlights on the radiator grille, exterior mirrors and rear aerofoil. These bright points are played up further when combined with the red painted brake callipers and the AMG multispoke light-alloy wheels painted in matt black with special AMG hub caps in central-locking look.
Meanwhile, the 8 x 19 light-alloy wheels are covered with 235/35 R 19 tires. The "Edition 1" gets the AMG Night package and the Aerodynamics package feature as standard, offering the ideal finishing touch to its motorsport-inspired theme. The interior of the A 45 AMG "Edition 1" is dominated by black and red. The AMG Performance seats use ARTICO man-made leather/DINAMICA microfiber with red contrasting stitching.
In addition, ARTICO man-made leather is used for the top section of the dashboard while the AMG Performance steering wheel uses nappa leather/DINAMICA microfibre. The other aesthetic enhancements include the E-SELECT lever with embossed AMG emblem and the "Edition 1" badge on the AMG DRIVE UNIT.
The website that's dedicated to the A 45 AMG shows the unit in interactive mode. Those who visit the social wall on the site will get to see comments, films and pictures from fans of the AMG Twitter and Facebook pages. These come together with an option for users to write their sentiments too.

GW Program Seeks to Increase Exposure of Women to the Field of Mathematics
WASHINGTON - The George Washington University has selected 16 outstanding undergraduate women mathematics majors from across the United States to participate in a unique five-week immersion program. The university's 14th annual Summer Program for Women in Mathematics (SPWM) provides broad exposure to mathematical culture, tools necessary for success, applications of mathematics in business and industry, and career opportunities. This program is funded by the National Security Agency.
From June 28 - Aug. 2, 2008, students will take graduate-level math courses led by professional women mathematicians. They will have the opportunity to hear from leaders in the fields on a variety of mathematical topics as well as mathematical history, ethics, and philosophy. The students also will take part in weekly field trips to see women mathematicians at work in the District region.
"Washington, D.C., is an ideal location for the Summer Program for Women in Mathematics," said Murli Gupta, director of the program and GW professor of mathematics. "There is a thriving community of pure and applied mathematicians working at federal agencies and laboratories, major universities, and in high-tech industry. The summer program helps students develop the self-confidence to engage in independent work and the necessary communication skills to engage in the kind of collaboration efforts that produce much of today's new research."
This year's students represent the following undergraduate institutions: Belmont University, Chapman University, College of the Holy Cross, Colorado College, James Madison University, Lawrence University, Lewis & Clark College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Rowan University, University of California - Santa Barbara, University of Chicago, University of Hawaii, University of North Carolina, University of Rochester, and University of Wisconsin. Each year, program participants are chosen through a competitive selection process based on college transcripts, personal statements, and letters of recommendation. Candidates must be women undergraduates who have completed their junior year and are considering graduate study in mathematics. Located four blocks from the White House, The George Washington University was created by an Act of Congress in 1821. Today, GW is the largest institution of higher education in the nation's capital. The university offers comprehensive programs of undergraduate and graduate liberal arts study as well as degree programs in medicine, law, engineering, education, business, and international affairs. Each year, GW enrolls a diverse population of undergraduate, graduate, and professional students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and more than 120 countries.
For more information on GW's Summer Program for Women in Mathematics, visit www.gwu.edu/~spwm. For more news about GW visit the GW News Center at www.gwnewscenter.org.

Please note: email messages are not secure. Please refrain from entering personal, confidential information in the message, such as your social security or account numbers. Thank you.
Safeguarding your personal information when interacting with us via the Internet is extremely important. Merrimack 24 Online Banking has been designed with that in mind. Merrimack County Savings Bank will continue to enhance and maintain prudent security standards and procedures to protect against unauthorized online access or use of your nonpublic personal information and records, applying the same high standards in caring for your personal information as we do for transactions you conduct with us in person. The following information details the types and methods of security controls we use to ensure your online transactions remain safe. We also provide other information that you can use to help secure your data.
The Merrimack urges customers to be vigilant and proactive in securing their electronic information. An informative brochure and companion video concerning best practices are now available for business customers. We encourage everyone to view them.
We also recommend OnGuardOnline.gov, the federal government's website to help you be safe, secure and responsible online. The Federal Trade Commission manages OnGuardOnline.gov, in partnership with the federal agencies. The Merrimack encourages you to browse OnGuardOnline.gov for useful tips on how to avoid scams, secure your personal computer and protect your kids online.
Additionally, we have made available five educational videos on phishing, identity theft, internet fraud, social media and portable devices. Be sure to check them out to learn all you can about online security.
The Merrimack uses several layers of technology to ensure the confidentiality of your transactions across the Internet. Security begins with your browser. SSL protocol (Secure Sockets Layer) is used to provide privacy for the data flowing between the browser and the bank server. SSL is an open protocol for securing data communication across computer networks, and it provides a secure channel for data transmission through its encryption capabilities. It allows for the transfer of digitally signed certificates for authentication procedures, and provides message integrity, ensuring that the data can't be altered en route.
When a customer account is created, the bank assigns a password, which is sent to the customer along with an account verification letter. In addition to password protection, the bank also provides server authentication using the latest in public key encryption. Public/private key pairs are used specifically for authentication. The public key can be distributed, using a certificate that verifies the identity of the owner. The private key is kept secret. A message encrypted with a public key can only be read after decryption with the private key.
To start a transaction, the customer uses his or her browser to send a secure message via SSL to the bank. The bank responds by sending a certificate, which contains the bank's public key. The browser authenticates the certificate, and then generates a session key that is used to encrypt data traveling between the customer's browser and the bank server.
The session key is encrypted using the bank's public key, and sent back to the bank. The bank decrypts this message using its private key, and then uses the session key for the remainder of the communication.
By exchanging messages using the public/private key pair, the customer can be assured they are actually communicating with the bank, and not a third party trying to intercept the transaction. When a session is encrypted, a padlock icon appears in either the right or left lower corner of the browser's screen, the specific location may vary by browser. For example, on Internet Explorer, the icon will appear on the right, whereas on Netscape, the icon will appear on the left. A second test to ensure the session is encrypted is to place your cursor over the padlock icon, at which time an "SSL Secured (128 bit)" label will appear. If the padlock icon is not visible, or the "SSL Secured (128 bit)" label does not appear, encryption is not in use and the current session is not secure.
Merrimack County Savings Bank works diligently to ensure that your transactions and personal data are protected against any type of intruder attack. All customer data is stored behind protective Firewalls and Routers that constantly monitor inbound traffic to your accounts. Unwanted or suspicious traffic is immediately denied based on all known intruder patterns or attempts. The Firewalls and Routers are audited on a periodic basis by a third party security company to ensure that they are functioning properly and are indeed protecting your accounts.
Strict internal procedures are in place within the bank, controlling every aspect of bank administration from training employees to confirming customer transactions to preventing service interruptions. Employee access to your information is restricted to those who have a business reason to know such information. New advances in security technology are happening daily, and we are constantly evaluating the security architecture to ensure that it provides the highest level of privacy and safety for bank customers.
Customers have their own set of responsibilities in providing security for their Internet bank account. Passwords must be kept secret. Users should make sure that no one is physically watching as passwords are entered. It is important to remember to exit the browser when leaving the computer.
If the PC is left unattended with the browser running and a valid user name and password cached, anyone can gain access to the account. Users should also take precautions to keep computers clean and free from viruses and spyware that could be used to capture password keystrokes.
When browsing our website, personal information, such as your e-mail address, is not collected. Some areas of our website require information, such as your e-mail address or your account number, to enable you to perform certain tasks (e.g., to review your accounts or correspond with us). In these cases, we collect the information necessary to interact with you.
If you visit us on the Internet, we may place a "cookie" on your browser that records the number of visits made to our various Web pages; however, personal information is not collected. If you use our Merrimack 24 Online Banking or Bill Pay programs, you may receive additional cookies that contain your unique identifier, allowing you to view and manage your accounts. These cookies may be linked to personally identifiable information.
Messages sent using the secure forms within our website are secure. Look for the icon of a padlock to verify a form's security. We preserve the content of your e-mail, your e-mail address and our response, so that we can more efficiently respond to any follow-up questions from you. We also retain this information to meet legal and regulatory requirements.
Regular Internet E-mail is Not Secure. Please do not send confidential information such as social security or account numbers to us via regular e-mail. In instances where e-mail addresses are provided, they are provided for information inquiries of a non-sensitive and non-confidential nature. Since an Internet e-mail response back to you would not be secure, we will not include confidential information in an unsecured e-mail response.
"Phishing" refers to activities of cyber-criminals who create an imitation of an existing legitimate web page and trick people into providing sensitive personal information. We will never send an e-mail that provides a link to the Merrimack 24 Online Banking logon screen. The recommended best practice is to access the logon screen from the link on our website homepage at www.mcsbnh.com or to go directly to the logon screen by keying in its address (URL): https://www.mcsbnhonline.com/onlineserv/HB/Signon.cgi
In the worst case of phishing, you could find yourself a victim of identity theft. With the sensitive information obtained from a successful phishing scam, these thieves can take out loans or obtain credit cards and even driver's licenses in your name. They can do damage to your financial history and personal reputation that can take years to unravel. But if you understand how phishing works and how to protect yourself, you can help stop this crime.
In a typical case of phishing, you'll receive an e-mail that appears to come from a reputable company that you recognize and do business with, such as your financial institution. In some cases, the e-mail may appear to come from a government agency, including one of the federal financial institution regulatory agencies.
The e-mail will probably warn you of a serious problem that requires your immediate attention. It may use phrases, such as "Immediate attention required," or "Please contact us immediately about your account." The e-mail will then encourage you to click on a button to go to the institution's Web site. In a phishing scam, you could be redirected to a phony Web site that may look exactly like the real thing. Sometimes, in fact, it may be the company's actual Web site. In those cases, a pop-up window will quickly appear for the purpose of harvesting your financial information. In either case, you may be asked to update your account information or to provide information for verification purposes: your Social Security number, your account number, your password, or the information you use to verify your identity when speaking to a real financial institution, such as your mother's maiden name or your place of birth.
If you provide the requested information, you may find yourself the victim of identity theft.
Contact your financial institution immediately and alert it to the situation. Report all suspicious contacts to the Federal Trade Commission through the Internet at www.consumer.gov/idtheft, or by calling 1-877-IDTHEFT. If you have disclosed sensitive information in a phishing attack, you should also contact one of the three major credit bureaus and discuss whether you need to place a fraud alert on your file, which will help prevent thieves from opening a new account in your name. Here is the contact information for each bureau's fraud division:
P.O. Box 740250
Atlanta, GA 30374
P.O. Box 1017
Allen, TX 75013

A class action lawsuit is a particular kind of litigation, used when a large number of people have the same problem with a company's product or activities. Many companies have had class action lawsuits filed against them, including Apple Computer, Farmers Insurance, Burger King, LP Siding, Microsoft, and Coppertone. Class action lawsuits are also filed against companies for product defects that could potentially hurt anyone buying their products. Asbestos and tobacco class action claims are examples, as are the drug class action cases against the manufacturers of Accutane, Celebrex, Ephedra, Vioxx, and Paxil. Class action attorneys can discuss the pros and cons of a class action lawsuit with you if you think one may be appropriate. Class action lawyers are usually paid on contingency, which means they receive a percentage of the money paid if you win the lawsuit.

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer and why do you write?
As I get my narrator to say in my very first book, The Herring Seller's Apprentice, I have always been a writer. I can't really remember a time when that wasn't what I wanted to do, though it then took me a few decades to actually produce a publishable full length novel. What keeps me writing is people saying that they enjoy reading the books. If they ever stopped doing that, then I'd find something sensible to do with my time.
What kind of relationship do you have with your protagonists?
Ethelred and John Grey couldn't be any different could they?!! Ethelred is a rather conservative, pessimistic, middle aged, mid-list author. He wishes it was 1957. John Grey is young and idealistic. He's happy with modernity, though modernity to him is of course 1657. I think it's difficult to write any character, or any main character, who isn't, deep down, a little bit like you; otherwise, how can you understand what they do? But you draw on different aspects of your own personality for each one. Personally, I'd be quite happy living in 1957 or 1657.
How would you describe yourself in one sentence?
The sort of person that it takes at least two sentences to describe.
How long did it take you to write A Masterpiece of Corruption and did you find it different from writing your first historical novel A Cruel Necessity?
About a year. Books always seem to take about a year. The first book in a historical series tends to be fairly research-incentive. You're constantly having to check whether petticoat breeches were in fashion in the 1650s or what people ate for breakfast or indeed whether they ate breakfast at all. And you want to show people you've done your research – you make sure you describe petticoat breeches in detail. You never stop researching of course, but later you feel you have to put less of it in the actual book. You and the reader now know stuff like that.
If you could send one person to a remote desert Island with no internet access, mobile phones or email who would it be and why?
Me. I might get some work done.
What do you wish you'd known when you started writing?
I wish I'd understood that you need to keep in mind both the plot of the book you're writing and the story arc of the series. It's all too easy to create problems for yourself two or three books down the line. Of course I had no idea that the first book would develop into a series so, even if I'd understood all that, I wouldn't necessarily have done anything different.
If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
P G Woodhouse. How to make your prose sound effortless, even when it clearly isn't!
What was one of the most surprising things you learned in writing A Masterpiece of Corruption?
Until I started to read up on it, I'd been unaware that there was a theory that Cromwell had been murdered. A Masterpiece of Corruption centres around the attempt to foil just such a plot. Obviously, it's not much of a spoiler if I admit that Cromwell dies eventually, because a quick look at Wikipedia will confirm that he is dead and has been for quite a while. But was it malaria, as was announced at the time, or something more sinister?
How different is your approach to writing the Herring series and the historical fiction series?
With any historical series, you are working to some extent with actual historical events. So key points in the plot are already mapped out for you. I suppose therefore that I have a better idea of the outline of the book when I start. The Ethelred and Elsie books could go pretty much anywhere they want. I also don't have Elsie's sarcastic commentary on events with the John Grey series, though Aminta (John's sidekick) is beginning to develop her own line in helpful criticism of John's methods.
Which fictional character would you most like to meet in real life?
Philip Marlowe.
What makes you keep picking up and reading books?
Because there are so many great books being written. We're living through something of a Golden Age.
How has being a published author changed your life?
You no longer get that sense of dread on Sunday afternoon that it is Monday tomorrow.
If you could quote a line or paragraph from your work what would it be and why?
It is early on Tuesday and I am not yet dead (Masterpiece of Corruption)
Friday night in the Tyler home, you get to invite three people to dinner, past or present. Who would they be and why?
Samuel Pepys, Aphra Behn, Lady Castlemaine. They'd have all the seventeenth century gossip …

A hell of a compelling show
This article is from 2010.
Whether you believe The Sandman exists or not – and having him call my name through the medium of a lady plucked 'randomly' from the crowd hasn't made me sleep especially easy these last few nights – the Aberdeenshire boys still put on a hell of a compelling show. While naturally witty, their comedy takes a distant second place to the illusions and those are first class.

|1,500 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Rent the entire cottage for the price of a single room.
Refurbished and recently remodeled 1869 Cottage in the heart of Valle Crucis, NC.
Four bedrooms, two baths, kitchen with new appliances, sleeps 6. Towels and linens included. Pet Friendly.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We need to know how many bedrooms you need. In order to keep the rates low for couples, the published rates are for the cottage with the master bedroom only - each additional bedroom is $10 per night.
We are long time residents of the North Carolina High Country who enjoy all the area has to offer.
JD purchased this cottage in 2009
We lovingly restored and remodeled this 1869 cottage in historic Valle Crucis, NC as a vacation rental. We hope you love it as much as we do and come for a visit.
This historic cottage is in the heart of Valle Crucis has everything you need for a peaceful vacation in the mountains.
The house was great. It accommodated our group very comfortably. We were also able to accommodate family in the area. The owner was very helpful and personable. In fact, based on JD's suggestion we were able to make a "rain plan" for an event we were hosting that weekend. Our alternate location was perfect.
Broadstone Cottage was the perfect size for our family weekend getaway. It is very nicely restored and clean. The location was convenient with spectacular views. It was a pleasure to be met by JD at check in.
Our stay at Broadstone Cottage was delightful. We gathered as a family to celebrate a birthday. There were 6 adults and 1 infant. We were very comfortable. I was impressed with the decor of the cottage and could tell there was love in every detail. Although there was no tv, we were able to use tablets and phones to stream because of wifi. But actually, no tv provided us with a chance to disconnect and focus of conversation and fellowship.We were actually met on property by the owner. I hope to be able to return next year. The area is very peaceful. The views are spectacular in that we were there during the fall leaves changing colors.Accessibilty to Boone, Blowing Rock, and surrounding areas was convenient. Booking and payment were easy. Thanks, JD and Melissa!
We had a wonderful stay at Broadstone Cottage with the family. We were totally unplugged. Played cards, enjoyed all the area had to offer. The cabin was just the right size and met all our needs. Clean, comfortable and in a great location. Walking distance to the Mast General Store & the community park on the Watauga River. Thanks, JD!!
We love visiting Valle Crucis and this was our first time staying in the Broadstone Cottage. Owners JD and Melissa have done a nice job restoring it . The cottage was built originally in 1869 , so we were thrilled to see that they had installed AC units. Most homes in the mountains do not have air conditioning because of the cool nights. Location of the cottage was perfect for us , we could walk to the Masr General Store. Behind the Store is a beautiful park where you can have a nice picnc,, barbecue,, take a walk, do some fishing or go Tubing.
Short drive to Boone, where they have plenty of shopping and restaurants. Grandfather Mountain Winery is also a short drive away. You can sit down by the water and have a glass of wine. Take time to relax and enjoy, this is truly the best area in the NC Mountains.
Thank You , JD and Melissa for the opportunity to stay in your cottage and enjoy the High Country.
We found our stay in the Broadstone cottage to be quiet, enjoyable, and convenient to all the Boone area has to offer. The property was cozy, well-maintained, and very nicely furnished...and the valley surroundings were a dose of High-Country perfection. The owner, JD, was a pleasure and a good example of the nice folks you meet in the area. We hope to come back again.
Perfect spot for a mountain getaway.

Weather News
Wet and windy conditions continue in VICJames Casey, Friday June 14, 2013 - 13:38 EST
Parts of Victoria have copped the heaviest rain in over 40 years and gale force winds, with more wild weather on the way.
Eastern parts of Victoria have felt the brunt of a complex low pressure system and trough, causing the wet and windy conditions.
West and South Gippsland have had the heaviest falls in the 24 hours to 9am Friday. Balook picked up 190mm, the heaviest in at least 14 years. Mt Baw Baw saw 145mm, the heaviest since February 2005.
While the Melbourne area received less rain, the airport picked up 20mm, bringing their monthly total to 123mm. This is now their wettest June in at least 42 years.
Gale force winds have been pounding coastal and alpine areas with Mt Hotham recording 96km/h and Mt Buller 89km/h this morning.
For the rest of Friday, the heavy rain and strong winds will continue as the complex low sits off the state's east coast. The Gippsland region will be subject to the strongest winds and heaviest falls, with showers also affecting central parts of the state.
A Severe Weather Warning for damaging winds and heavy rain was issued this morning for eastern parts of the state. There were also numerous flood warnings and watches current for central and eastern Victoria.
Looking further ahead, wind and rain will gradually ease over the weekend as the low moves away from the state. However, the system will continue to generate strong winds and heavy falls along the east coast into next week.

Scaraoke & Biblical Self-Defense
I am afraid that liberal Christians may be relying too much on biblical understanding and not enough on their own biblical reading.
Further, when we rely only on a certain handful of "go-to" scriptures (Micah 6:8, anybody) as opposed to committing ourselves to know the bible more wholly, we are robbing ourselves of a full understanding of our scriptures.
It would be like listening to our favorite songs without the music, or the beat, or the lead-singer who had the emotion and intention behind her!
Though it would make my mother proud, I am almost afraid to ask.
Have you read the Bible lately?
I'm afraid to ask because of the connotation that is more than likely attached to any conversation you might have ever had with somebody who asked you a similar question.
When I was feeling anxious as a college freshman, when I was battling addictive "medicine" in the valleys of a confusing time, and when I was worried about the health of my wife and soon-to-be daughter, I have had people ask me some near-rendition of "So, have you read your Bible lately?"
The literal suggestion in those instances is that there is wisdom in the scriptures that can be quite applicable to someone who is feeling alone and abandoned, powerless and stuck, or fearful and ill-prepared. However, the implication is that the answer is simple and already known by the one asking the question.
I think this is a fair generalization: fundamentalists use their bible.
They might not know the, but they certainly use the bible.
Fundamentalists use the bible to oppress those who doubt or struggle, enact their political agendas, and keep women, minorities, GBLTQ folk, and many more "in their places." So, what do you use the Bible for?
I feel comfortable with an understanding of a God of justice and mercy but I have not always been as willing to struggle with the scriptures that don't readily lend themselves to that portrayal of God. I haven't always been as willing to read texts less accessible to me such as Hosea, Deuteronomy, and That Book Which Shalt Not Be Named By Progressives (Leviticus).
So instead, I have relied on biblical understanding – theologians, preachers, strangers, agnostics, fellow pew-sitters, priests, and rabbis – to guide me through my faith. However, relying on other people's understandings robs me of the opportunity to become fully invested. It leaves me vulnerable.
It allows me to be a Christian with all my head, but not with all my heart.
Further, minimizing the Hebrew Bible minimizes the very God that Jesus understood (as illustrated in this wonderful article by Pete Enns). To minimize the Hebrew Bible is to miss out on the love of God's people and God's pain over human suffering as expressed in Hosea. To minimize the Hebrew Bible is to fail to acknowledge the hunger for God and the quest for righteousness of the Deuteronomists.
Perhaps the Bible doesn't specifically say much of everything.
Perhaps what makes the Bible more complete is the diversity that it represents. Sort of like humanity, isn't it?
If you, like me, are tired of a narrow understanding of the Bible, what are you willing to do about it?
Let us not grow weary of the fight to struggle with our text, claim our text, and use our text in the struggle to prove that our God's justice and mercy go together like ramma lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong.

Soon after his debut Drake began feuding with various APW wrestlers. In 2000, Drake and Donovan Morgan began the training of The Great Khali. Khali lived with Drake in a small apartment in Hayward, until Khali left for Japan and eventually the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
After a falling out with APW, Drake jumped ship to Pro Wrestling Iron, started by Morgan and Mike Modest. Drake became an assistant trainer, and would train PWI's students when not in Japan. In 2001 he helped further the training of Tough Enough winner John Morrison, who went on to become the ECW Champion.
Drake's first tour of Japan came in 2001. Drake tag teamed with Scorpio and Bison Smith, and faced such opponents as Jun Akiyama, Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi, and Yoshihiro Takayama.
Drake wrestled his last match for WWE on March 27, 2003 in San Jose. He faced Sean O'Haire on SmackDown. Drake was upset with O'Haire after dropping him on his head twice during the match. Drake felt that the companies in the United States were about hiring wrestlers with great looks but lacking talent. Drake did not work for WWE any further.
Pro Wrestling Iron, held its first show on May 31, 2002 in Ukiah, California.[1] PWI negotiated a talent swap agreement with Noah that saw Japanese wrestlers such as Mitsuharu Misawa, Naoya Ogawa, and Takao Omori appear on PWI shows. Drake teamed up with Bison Smith to face Danny Dominion and Ace Steel. Drake and Bison scored a victory, with the match lasting for 50 minutes.
Current Independent & Other Work[edit]
In 2003 Drake moved to Phoenix, Arizona, and began wrestling for Impact Zone Wrestling.[1] Drake wrestles for IZW and AZWO in Arizona from time to time, but has yet to make a full comeback. Drake was the main event in 2006 when he faced TNA Impact star Relic at Wild West Championship Wrestling's inaugural show. The show was held at a boxing sport arena in Phoenix, Arizona. In October 2007 Drake starred in the reality show Casting Call, filming for Big Sky Motion Pictures[1] in New Orleans. The show was set to air in conjunction with writer/director Mars Callahan's movie, Spring Break '83. Drake joined the CWFA in 2010 and is the current World Champion. Drake won the championship in September 2013, beating The Hawaiian Lion, Graves, and Alexander Hammerstone in a fatal 4 way match.

European shares gain but euro flat as fears for Greece and Spain continue
EUROPEAN shares rose on Thursday, bolstered by relatively robust earnings reports despite economic weakness, while the euro was flat as uncertainty over how the eurozone will handle crises in Spain and Greece dragged on.
The FTSE Eurofirst index of top European shares was up 0.7pc at lunchtime, helped by a smaller than expected fall in profits at oil major Royal Dutch Shell and a broker upgrade of Asia-exposed luxury goods giant Richemont.
Although many companies have posted weak third-quarter results over the last month as firms grapple with the faltering global economy, many of the results have not been as bad as some had expected.
World stocks - which have dropped over 3pc since a rally driven by global central bank stimulus plans ended in mid-September - recovered from earlier falls in Asian trading to stand up 0.1pc at 329.4 points.
U.S. stock futures were also up 0.1pc, suggesting a cautious opening on Wall Street, which resumed trading on Wednesday following its first weather-related two-day closure since the late 19th century.
Data from China showing its economy is finally regaining traction and manufacturing growth in Indonesia, India and Taiwan also helped to support investors' sentiment.
But it was contrasted by weak Swedish data as factory activity fell at its fastest rate in over 3 years, and by numbers showing a worse-than-expected deterioration in Britain's manufacturing sector.
"Divergence between the more positive growth signs coming from Asia and the negative news from Europe continues to grow,"
FX strategists at Morgan Stanley said note. "The economic news from Europe remains negative and is likely to continue to weigh on the euro in the near term."
Euro zone finance ministers held a teleconference on Wednesday without any breakthrough on helping Greece, which served notice that it will overshoot its deficit and debt targets again next year because of a deeper-than-forecast recession.
Eurogroup chairman Jean-Claude Juncker said he expected finance ministers to agree a deal on Nov. 12 provided Athens had completed a list of prior actions.
The lack of firm progress, and with no sign that Spain is about to ask for euro zone help, kept the euro pinned in its recent $1.28-$1.32 range, flat at $1.2956.
European government bond markets were also steady with benchmark German Bund futures barely changed at 141.57.
The dollar strengthened gaining 0.4 percent against the yen to 80.04, approaching a four-month high of 80.38 hit last week. The China-sensitive Australian dollar steadied around $1.0366.
Many major currencies have been kept in tight ranges by the uncertainty over Greece and Spain, the tight race for the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 6 and the potential for the United States to run over a debt "cliff" early next year.

Iceland Keeps Getting Voted The World's Most Peaceful Place
The 2016 Global Peace Index report named Iceland the most peaceful place on Earth, a ranking it has earned for six years straight. According to the GPI, factors that correspond with a peaceful country include low levels of corruption, well functioning government, sound business environment, free flow of information, equitable distribution of resources, good relations with neighbors, high levels of human capital, and acceptance of the rights of others. A total of 23 factors determine the order that the 163 countries are ranked on safety. A country is given a score of 1-5 based, where 1 is a perfect score. Iceland earned a near-perfect score of 1.192, with Denmark in second place at 1.246, and Austria in third at 1.278. According to the report, Syria is considered the most dangerous place on Earth, scoring 3.806. The US earned a score of 2.154, which placed it at 103 on the list. We've collected some awesome videos on this topic. Watch them now to learn more.


text: URMC / Encyclopedia / Content Afferent Loop Syndrome What is afferent loop syndrome? Afferent loop syndrome is a complication of several different types of stomach surgery. If you have had or are going to have a procedure called gastrojejunostomy, you should know that afferent loop syndrome can occur after the surgery. Gastrojejunostomy is also also known as Billroth II gastrectomy procedure,. During a Biliroth II type of operation, your surgeon will remove or bypass the lower part of your stomach and attach the remaining part of your stomach to a loop of intestine downstream. The area where your stomach and intestine attach is called the anastomosis. The intestine downstream from the anastomosis is called the efferent limb. What causes afferent loop syndrome? After surgery, your bile and pancreatic digestive juices enter the afferent loop. All these juices flow downstream and need to pass through the anastomosis and enter your digestive system. Afferent loop syndrome occurs when something traps the flow of these juices up to and past the anastomosis. Following are common causes of afferent loop syndrome: An improperly made anastomosis Twisting or kinking of the afferent loop Trapping of the afferent loop secondary to scar tissue in an area near the surgery Scarring from ulceration at the site where the afferent loop joins the stomach Cancer that recurs and blocks the afferent loop What are the symptoms of afferent loop syndrome? Symptoms will start to appear when the secretions from your pancreas and bile fill the afferent loop and are unable to pass through the anastomosis. The secretions build up in the afferent limb. This causes pressure, especially after a meal. Afferent loop syndrome can occur anywhere from days to years after surgery. Afferent loop syndrome that occurs soon after surgery—within the first few weeks—is called acute afferent loop syndrome. This usually means the afferent loop is completely obstructed. Afferent loop syndrome that occurs weeks, or even years, after surgery is called chronic afferent loop syndrome. This usually means there is a partial obstruction. The most common symptoms are: Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right side of your abdomen Nausea and fullness, especially after eating Sudden and severe vomiting of bilious fluid. This occurs when the obstruction of the distended afferent loop is relieved and the afferent loop decompresses its content into the stomach. This relieves the abdominal pain How is afferent loop syndrome diagnosed? Your health care provider may suspect afferent loop syndrome if you have symptoms any time after gastrojejunostomy surgery. Although blood tests and basic X-rays can help with the diagnosis, the best test is a CT scan. This will show the fluid-filled, swollen afferent loop. Another test you may get is an upper GI endoscopy. This will show obstruction of the afferent limb. How is afferent loop syndrome treated? Treatment is almost always surgery. In acute afferent loop syndrome, emergency surgery may be necessary to prevent rupture of the loop. The type of surgery will depend on what's causing the actual obstruction. In some cases, the anastomosis may need to be taken apart and redone. If the afferent loop has become scarred and narrowed, it may need to be removed. When should I call my health care provider? To better understand the complications of gastrectomy surgery, ask your doctor to explain all the risks and benefits of the surgery before your procedure. After surgery, carefully follow your medical team's instructions. And always call your doctor right away if you have any symptoms that could indicate afferent loop syndrome. Key points Afferent loop syndrome is a complication of several different types of stomach surgery. Afferent loop syndrome occurs when something traps the flow of your digestive juices up to and past the anastomosis. Symptoms will start to appear when the secretions from the pancreas and bile fill the afferent loop and are unable to pass through the anastomosis causing pressure.

Call your health care provider right away if you have any symptoms that could indicate afferent loop syndrome. Next steps Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your health care provider: Before your visit, write down questions you want answered. Bring someone with you to help you ask questions and remember what your provider tells you. At the visit, write down the names of new medicines, treatments, or tests, and any new instructions your provider gives you. If you have a follow-up appointment, write down the date, time, and purpose for that visit. Know how you can contact your provider if you have questions.

It's that darned SP2 firewall. As a test, open up TCP port 135 (aka Remote Administration) to allow Spiceworks to talk to WMI. You should be able to scan that machine.
If you are running active directory across your organization, you can set up a GPO to open the port across all machines to ensure connectivity.

To the Editor:
I read with great interest the case report of Grembiale et al
(May 2001).1 I have some questions to the authors about
the clinical course of this patient. Although the patient received a
diagnosis of bronchial asthma, I haven't seen any ratio of
FEV1 to FVC that is important for obstruction
criteria of the airways. Moreover, if a patient has a multinodular
goiter, inspiratory flow limitation must also be taken account. I
haven't seen any mention of it in the article. Do the authors suggest
that there is no upper-airway obstruction in this patient? The authors
also claimed that neither parasites nor other causes of systemic
eosinophilic diseases were found. What were they… ie,
vasculitis or others?
Although the patient has a diagnosis of asthma, I couldn't understand
why treatment with corticosteroids was discontinued instead of
increasing the dosage. The benefits of corticosteroid drugs in the
treatment of asthma have been documented previously. Knowing that the
mortality of asthma is usually due to undertreatment with
corticosteroids, osteoporosis or lack of response to treatment should
not be a reason for discontinuing treatment with corticosteroids in
this patient.
There are > 6 weeks from the onset of the symptoms after initial
treatment with methimazole. Is it correct to use the phrase,"
methimazole-induced asthma"? What were the exclusion criteria of
drug-induced eosinophilic lung disease?
Does the increasing eosinophil count in serum and sputum cause asthma,
as the authors mentioned? If it is true, why was it resistant to
corticosteroid treatment?
We are pleased to answer the questions about our report (May
2001)1 asked by Dr. Polatli, who allows us to give
additional information about this case of methimazole-induced asthma.
The presence of an obstructive ventilatory defect was undoubtable, as
shown by the typical aspect of the flow-volume curve, characterized by
a progressive reduction of forced expiratory flows: FVC, 56%
predicted; FEV1, 48% predicted;
FEV1/FVC ratio, 71%; mean expiratory flow (MEF)
at 75% of FVC, 42% predicted; MEF at 50% of FVC, 14% predicted; and
MEF at 25% of FVC, 10% predicted. The diagnosis of asthma was
also confirmed by the prompt reversibility of airway obstruction
obtained after the inhalation of a short-actingβ
2-adrenoceptor agonist (30% increase in
FEV1). Since inspiratory flows were normal, it
could be argued that the multinodular goiter did not produce any
laryngeal or tracheal compression. Furthermore, classical, perinuclear,
and atypical antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies were not detectable,
thus probably ruling out the presence of a vasculitis.
Increased eosinophil levels, in both blood and bronchial submucosa, are
often associated with atopic as well as nonatopic asthma.2–
Indeed, the eosinophil represents one of the main cellular targets for
the antiasthma action of corticosteroids, which effectively inhibit
eosinophil mediator release and reduce, rather than completely
suppressing, the increase in circulating eosinophil
number.3 Consistently with these widely known effects, the
blood eosinophil count decreased under systemic corticosteroid
treatment in our patient (from 27.7 to 17%), who, therefore, was not
resistant to corticosteroids, though no clinically significant benefit
was detected. For this reason, methylprednisolone was stopped whereas
inhaled steroid therapy was, of course, continued. However, we think
that the main goal of a physician should be to find the causal factor
of a pathologic event, thus trying whenever possible to eliminate it,
rather than simply increasing the dosage of powerful drugs such as
Finally, the apparently quite long period (approximately 7 weeks)
elapsed from the beginning of methimazole administration to the onset
of asthma exacerbation might have been due to underestimation of asthma
symptoms, which could also have been partially masked by corticosteroid
treatment. Anyway, some time is needed for eosinophil-induced tissue
damage to reach the threshold of clinical significance. Hoping to have
provided satisfactory answers to Dr. Polatli's remarks, we look
forward to welcoming further questions and comments about this
interesting case of methimazole-induced asthma.

Even cards from 10+ years for certain players in PSA 6 or 7 are fairly affordable as well.
I PC Willie Mays and you can pick up some nice 60's PSA 7s for anywhere from $100 to $250 depending on the year. The same goes for Hank Aarons cards as well. You can also choose cards that have multiple Hall of Famers on them like the 60's league leader cards in high grade that have great combos like Mays and Aaron, Clemente, etc. If you have set goals it will be fun if you pick up at least a new card every month. I find if I do not pick up at least that one then I lose focus and start buying modern wax or single card autos on ebay that do not fit my PC.
The Red Sox have some really good players and HoFers and you can easily afford some of those cards in high grade from the 70's 80's and 90's. As long as you keep it fun and don't stray too far off task your collection will form right before your eyes in a few years. Good luck!
Thanks for the thought out reply.
I hear what you are saying about the later year cards, probably makes sense. However, I want to try to stick to the most iconic cards of these players. I'll have to move down the quality scale to start but then I'll look for incremental gains when possible. I may even have to rethink that altogether, we'll see.
Take the 1954 Hank Aaron. I can probably grab a PSA 3 for $400-500. When I get a little extra cash I can try and turn that into a 4 which are generally $600-700. Obviously this will be much more difficult and expensive for a 1952 Mantle and some of the others... Which I may never get. Should be fun to try though!
Your Red Sox point is spot on. I'm pretty excited to go after Boggs, Rice, Dewey, Pudge, etc. Will be nice to get 8s or even 9s right off the bat for some of these cards.
Now I just need to find some time away from work and my small children to put a list together.

Today Adobe introduced upgrades to Adobe Marketing Cloud that span all six of its products. A central theme is unifying not only customer data but also creative assets, marketing work flows, and Adobe products themselves.
After absorbing and building out the various products the company has acquired over the years, Adobe is now beginning to remove the barriers between the products themselves and between the data and/or assets within each.
To support this vision, Adobe has created a few "core services" that span the different products within Adobe Marketing Cloud, which are:
- Media Optimizer
- Adobe Social
- Experience Manager
- Adobe Target
- Adobe Campaign
- Adobe Analytics
One Customer Across Channels
Master Marketing Profile provides a single view of customers and prospects across marketing channels, thanks to integration between Adobe Target and Adobe Analytics.
Marketers can use this profile data to create audience segments and then deliver ads or marketing across media types and devices, including social networks and app content.
These profiles can be updated in real time with behavioral data from within other products in the Marketing Cloud and/or third-party applications for CRM and ERP or the like, as well as from transactional and payment platforms.
With Master Marketing Profiles, "Messaging can be more intelligent," says Ray Pun, senior product marketing manager for mobile solutions for Adobe. For example, instead of sending multiple duplicate messages to the same consumer on different devices, a marketer can address complementary ads via the different channels.
Integrated Web and Mobile Marketing
A new release of Adobe Experience Manager lets marketers launch both Web and mobile sites at the same time. Interactive elements, including video, can now be created and delivered across devices via Experience Manager, while templates can reduce project time by as much as 50 percent, Adobe says.
Assets Available Everywhere
Another element in the unification push is Shared Assets, letting companies sync, store, search, and share digital assets from a central repository for use across Adobe Marketing Cloud products. With Shared Assets, companies that have centralized control of brand assets can save time by finding assets more quickly and also benefit from better standardization of assets across channels, Adobe says.
"Today, it's very fragmented. Agencies and brands all have stuff in silos," Pun says. "We believe, for many CMOs, this is how they want their brand and message to be communicated."
Technology Previews
Adobe also previewed Marketing Mix Planning technology that will let Adobe Marketing Cloud users plan, optimize, and execute both digital and traditional-media campaigns, including TV, print, and events. The product will use descriptive and predictive analytics to unify cross-media planning and execution, as well as attribution and analytics.
Experience and PhoneGap Unite
Another preview of technology that Adobe says should be available this summer is an integration of Adobe Experience Manager with PhoneGap Enterprise that will let marketers have more creative control over mobile apps. They'll be able to easily swap out assets and content within mobile apps using a drag-and-drop interface.
"Historically, developers have built apps, and marketers didn't have a lot of control," says Pun. "Now, as a marketer, you can change the home-screen creative, for example, instead of picking up the phone and calling the developer."
Supporting iBeacon and New Customers
Adobe announced support for Apple's iBeacon technology within Adobe Mobile Services 2.0. This lets marketers in real time analyze a user's location near an iBeacon, including dwell time, whether the person is entering or exiting the proximity, and how he's moving around the beacon. The brand can then deliver push messages and promotions, as well as to tie these interactions into all other app engagement data in Adobe Analytics.
Although iBeacons are far from ubiquitous, Pun says, "Marketers need to measure and understand the ROI of this innovation."
Finally, Adobe says that Deloitte Digital, Epsilon, and Wunderman are integrating Adobe Marketing Cloud into their own marketing platforms.
