At Wal-Mart, they have been packing up the war room and standing down their elite troops.
For many years, the world's largest retailer had been the bête noire of the liberal left, attacked for exploiting its workers, ruining its suppliers, destroying communities, harming the planet. Documentary-makers lined up to produce attack films such as Wal-Mart – The High Cost of Low Prices and Store Wars. Unions and other activists teamed up to launch online campaigns such as WakeUpWalMart and Wal-Mart Watch, aimed at highlighting the company's ills.
And yet now, without anyone really have realised, the steam has gone out of the movement. Wal-Mart is talking to its critics, rather than attacking them, and it has taken healthcare issues and environmental initiatives more seriously. The jury is still out on whether these moves are enough to mollify critics, but moves they undoubtedly are.
As shareholders and thousands of employees gather in Arkansas for the company's annual meeting today, executives are planning for just as much celebrity razzamatazz as usual, and slightly less of the external controversy.
Fewer Americans might now sign up to the notion that Wal-Mart is evil; a handful might even sign up to a notion that Wal-Mart could be part of the solution to many of the problems facing the US and the planet.
And so it is that Wal-Mart has been able to wind down the expensive counter-revolutionary war it was forced to launch in 2005, when the firestorm of criticism was at its worst. The war room, with its dozens of extra public relations staff drafted in from the PR agency Edelman, is no more. Also disbanded is Working Families for Wal-Mart, the lobby group it set up to argue that the benefits of the company's "everyday low prices" trumped the means by which it got those prices so low.
It is no coincidence that with the winding-down of the war comes an improvement in financial performance. Wal-Mart shares hit a four-year record yesterday. Same-store sales figures showing growth of 3.9 per cent in May – well over twice what Wall Street had been predicting – show that American families are trading down to discounters such as Wal-Mart, and that Wal-Mart itself has finally got its act together after years when it made a confused lunge for more upmarket business.
Joseph Beaulieu, retail analyst at Morningstar, said that the horrendous publicity never actually hurt Wal-Mart sales directly, but that it did contribute to a poor performance that has only been reversed in the past year. "The battles were certainly a distraction, taking management's attention away from operational issues. For a couple of years, Lee Scott, chief executive, seemed to have been more like a PR guy for the company, fronting his own publicity campaign."
Sam Walton, the late founder, whose ghost hangs over Wal-Mart still, was a stickler for low prices, driving costs out of the business and squeezing the pips of suppliers. In the environmental movement, Mr Scott has found an opportunity to drive out more costs and win plaudits from the green movement. The company has been economising on fuel, converting its haulage fleet and saving electricity in stores and warehouses, and winning green plaudits in the process. It has also found a profitable business opportunity from bringing low-energy light bulbs and other green products to the American masses.
In healthcare, too, it has made changes. There have been some improvements to its employee healthcare plans, and the company has joined a coalition of businesses lobbying for the federal government to introduce universal healthcare. Unveiling the initiative,the Better Health CareTogether coalition, Mr Scott was making common cause with unions such as the Service Employees International Union, which funds Wal-Mart Watch, and Mr Scott has met regularly to flesh out healthcare policy with Andrew Stern, the SEIU's combative president.
Meanwhile, Wal-Mart has dramatically expanded its own pharmacy business and started filling prescriptions for common drugs for as little as $4, in what it has spun as its contribution to making healthcare affordable for the millions without any or adequate insurance – and, it says, for its employees.
"Wal-Mart has done a great job with its public relations – it has spent a lot of money on it – but the perception is very different from the reality," warned Meghan Scott, deputy campaign director at WakeUpWalMart. "It says it has made vast improvements to its healthcare plan, but it still fails to cover almost half its employees. It says it is winning plaudits for environmentalism, but its own sustainability report shows its carbon footprint has gone up in every region of the world. I know from speaking to people in the trenches that Wal-Mart's employees are not feeling any more valued now than they did three years ago."
David Nassar, executive director of Wal-Mart Watch, also said there was much pressure still to be applied, but that its criticisms will necessarily become more nuanced. "Today we use methods that, while every bit as intense, are different from those we used in 2005," he said. "When this organisation was started it was necessary and critical to raise the profile of the campaign in order to get Wal-Mart's attention. Today, as a result of all the critics who have worked on this campaign, there is already more awareness among consumers and communities about Wal-Mart's business and labour practices. That makes it harder for them to get away with all the things they do wrong and forces them to change."
Wal-Mart said it has made genuine improvements to employee benefits, with cheaper health insurance and shorter times before newly hired staff qualify. It has also stepped up charitable work to help communities.
Mr Beaulieu said Wal-Mart's actions had been a mixture of successful public relations and genuine movement.
"The current management team has been very conciliatory in talking to its critics and has been much more savvy about how they talk about the diversity of their staff and the benefits they provide," he said. "I do think they have bought into a lot of the green initiatives, such as reducing energy use and stepping up recycling efforts. Even their push into organics, although it never took off, I think they were genuinely serious about it."
With healthcare moving up the political agenda ahead of the presidential election, and Wal-Mart at least offering to be part of the brainstorming of a solution – which is bound to have to include big employers as well as the medical industry, insurers and the government – the company might just be at the start of a step change in its reputation. In the meanwhile, the cash-strapped, debt-burdened American consumer is just grateful for those low prices.
Wal-Mart slips on Costa Rica banana skin
Asda, owned by Wal-Mart, pulled out of an important meeting about labour rights in Costa Rica's banana industry last week, soon after launching a renewed price war on bananas in the UK.
It is understood that the diktat for Asda not to attend came from Wal-Mart, but UK rival Tesco attended the meeting. The NGO Ban-ana Link organised the event, which was also attended by the GMB union, banana suppliers and Costa Rican industry representatives.
The revelation raises questions about Wal-Mart's commitment to international labour standards – an issue that will be raised, although not in relation to Costa Rica, at its annual shareholders' event today. The timing of Wal-Mart's decision not to attend the meeting is also unfortunate for Asda because on 21 May it cut the price of a kilo of bananas from 77p to 72p, which was matched by rivals Tesco and Morr-ison. Sainsbury's, which sells only Fairtrade bananas, also followed with a 5p price cut.
Banana Link co-ordinator Alistair Smith said he found out that no one was attending from Wal-Mart or Asda just three days before the meeting took place on 28 May. He said he was disappointed by the decision but reserved his most critical comments for Wal-Mart's strategy towards workers in the banana industry. He said: "There is a split between the ethical standards people, who want to see a deal on ethical standards, and the commercial people who just want to drive down price to an unsustainably low level for everyone, particularly the plantation and pack house workers."
An Asda spokeswoman said: "While we had planned to attend the meeting in Costa Rica, we had to cancel when we realised we did not have the right senior managers due to attend."

Lisa's kids' hermit crabs had an exciting adventure last week when her daughters and the neighbor kid decided to play with them like dolls. These spoiled crabs got to enjoy a day in the lap of luxury! Or maybe they just put up with it. One or the other.
Don't sleep in the beds, you'll get crabs! (Sorry, I had to.)
What hermit crab doesn't love riding around in a convertible and letting the wind blow through its hair?
After a long drive on a hot day, hermit crabs enjoy a nice dip in the pool.
I say it's time to dump the terrarium and move these crabs into the dollhouse full time!

Ask the devil why Heath Ledger is still alive.
The Devil laughs. After he has finished playing on his Game Gear, he turns his attention to you.
"This isn't actually Heath Ledger, this is Brian, one of my slaves. He likes taking the form of various Hollywood stars. This is in really bad taste though."
Whilst you are confused by the devil lecturing you on bad taste (given it's so hot, why is he wearing leather?) You realise that you'd really rather not be here.

Don't confuse this with the flour or corn tortillas you use to make wraps. A Spanish tortilla is a potato-and-egg omelet found on numerous menus throughout Spain. Traditionally these are cooked in heaps of olive oil. Our version uses less oil, so it's lower in calories, and if you use precooked diced potatoes, it's faster too.

Serves 6
Prep Time 40 min
Total Time 40 min.
Step 1
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes, thyme and paprika and cook for 2 minutes more.
Step 2
Lightly whisk eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Gently stir the potato mixture into the eggs along with cheese, spinach, salt and pepper until combined. Wipe the pan clean; add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and heat over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, cover and cook until the edges are set and the bottom is browned, 4 to 5 minutes (it will still be moist in the center).
Step 3
To flip the tortilla, run a spatula gently around the edges to loosen them. Invert a large plate over the pan and turn out the tortilla onto it. Slide the tortilla back into the pan and continue cooking until completely set in the middle, 3 to 6 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

Ti Kuan Yin is the most famous of all organic oolong tea. This Fair Trade Certified organic Chinese tea is grown in China's Jiangxi Province. The balled emerald green to dark green organic loose leaf tea leaves yield a pale golden, smooth-bodied infusion with a complex aroma having accents of sweet flowers, rich greens and forest floor. The taste of the liquor is deeply vegetal with slight floral qualities. The characteristic "oolong glow" is nicely prominent. As with our other Chinese oolongs, our Ti Kuan Yin may be infused multiple times, with each infusion revealing a new nuance of this tea's complex flavor.
Please note: we recently increased the quantity of tea in our Ti Kuan Yin packages. Don't worry, we kept the price per serving the same and only increased the amount of tea in the bag.
Ingredients: organic Chinese oolong tea
Serving Size: one level teaspoon per 8 oz cup of water
Aubrey Says: Be sure to steep this tea more than once - one infusion will only scratch the surface.
Jeremy Says: A tea to be contemplated - very complex!
Posted by Samuel Godsey on 2nd Feb 2017
Wonderful! A very beautiful tea! Grateful for the opportunity to sip this at such an awesome price!!!
Posted by Mike on 18th Jan 2017
This is a very special tea. It makes a very flavourful brew from just a small quantity of tea. The aroma and taste are heavenly. I always derive a very pleasant feeling of well-being from oolong, and this one produces that result in abundance. It's the combination of the beauty of the leaves, the colour of the tea, the aroma, and the taste.
Happily, you can make infusion after infusion from these leaves and the result will continue to be pleasing. Thank you for offering this tea.

This was my first Oolong and I absolutely loved every cup of it!!!
Posted by McKinley L. on 4th Jan 2017
This is a really interesting change of pace from what I normally drink (rich Chinese and Japanese greens, and more roasted oolong). It's very smooth and floral, with very little richness and almost not roasted or woody qualities. It's probably a tad too floral for my tastes, in fact, but that doesn't detract from its quality. Solid stuff if you're not a fan of roasted, grassy, or buttery teas, or if you usually drink teas blended with flower petals or floral fragrances.
Posted by Jay on 15th Dec 2016
This tea reminds me a great deal of Japanese oolong--not roasty-toasty, but more delicate and floral. Definitely floral--not quite jasmine, but maybe gardenia. Also definitely on the "green side" of the oolong spectrum, I think. Very good!
Posted by Eric on 15th Oct 2016
I tend to be critical of Tie Guan Yin because the quality can vary quite drastically.
This is the highest quality organic oolong I have found. There are some very expensive non-organic Tie Guan Yin that have a slightly more robust flavor, but this is the perfect balance of price and quality.
I couldn't recommend this tea enough!
Posted by Dave W. on 23rd Aug 2015
The aroma of the moist, steamy leaves inside the teapot have the characteristic floral qualities of a Ti Kuan Yin. As for the liquor, rather than being bold like some Ti Kuan Yins that I've had, this one's flavor is quite delicate. The mild aftertaste is similar to the sweet taste that lingers on the tongue after eating an artichoke. Longer steeping times will bring forth a moderate astringency that actually compliments the tea's sweetness quite well.

I bought a 4oz of this tea at the start of Jan 2015. Its not early March, and I am almost done this tea. I had mixed impressions about this tea at first, but now got use to the best way to brew it, at least for myself.
This tea is a mild one. I may come across as a little plain, without much flavour. One can boost the taste by steeping it longer. Don`t bother with the gaiwan: I use one 0.5 to 1 tablespoon per cup (mug). Use 80-85C water. Good for 2-3 steeps. A nice subtle taste of tieguanyin will come out.
After you`re done, take a look at the leaves. They`re broken at the edges, some edges with red tinge. Visible bruise marks that hints at the tea`s processing. This tea ain`t fake. Seems like the flavour is real, though mild, and the taste comes from some degree of honest processing.
Worth a try.

I'm transitioning from coffee (one cup per day) to tea. I ordered a few sampler sets from Arbor Teas including an oolong sampler. There are two, of the four, that have captured my interest, This tea is one of them. The brewed tea is very light in color which was my first surprise, The second, and biggest surprise, was the floral fragrance, first, as I brought the cup to my mouth and then, the first sip confirmed the floral flavor! I have always thought that the people who attributed these kinds of descriptions to coffees, teas, and wines (fruity, floral, rock candy, mixed berries, etc) were prone to suggestion. In the case of this tea I can now join the club of people who can describe a specific quality, in this case "floral." I wonder what happens next?!
Posted by Unknown on 28th Jan 2014
This is by far my favorite tea so far. I love the unobtrusive floral flavor. It is easy to handle and you get a complex and refreshing taste. I had a great experience with steeping times around 2mins.

Back in 2003, my family traveled to China's Jiangxi Province for the joy of adopting our daughter. Every where we ate I ordered Hot Tea with my dinner. It was the best Hot Tea that I have ever had. Matter of fact, it was the first time I had ever had Oolong tea. I went to a tea house and had our interpreter ask for the tea leave that we have been having for dinner. She stated that it was Ti Kuan Yin and it is from Jiangxi Province. I bought 3 lb and you can imagine that it lasted a long time. I have not been able to find this tea since we have been back to the States until now. It has a light green color and a lighter taste then darker Oolong. I am so glad to have finally find this tea again without having to travel again.
Posted by Lauren on 7th Apr 2013
This reminds me of a green tea, and has a bit too much of a vegetal taste for my liking. Not a bad tea, but not anything special.
Posted by Unknown on 27th Jan 2013
very nice earthy tea - suggest adding a bit more than the suggested amount though
Posted by Alexandra on 11th Sep 2012
I spent the summer of 2011 living in China and developed an appreciation for Chinese teas. Ti Kuan Yin is like nothing I'd ever had before, and after I finished my stash that I brought back from China, I needed to find another source.
I'm pretty sure that this tea is better than the leaves I brought back, and I love that they're organic. You can actually drink the first brew instead of having to discard it because of the pesticides. Love this stuff!
Posted by Joseph Paulson on 17th Jul 2012
The dry leaf is surprisingly light green for an Oolong. Some leaves are tightly rolled, some less so. I worried this tea might be under-oxidised. But all my fears went out the kitchen window once I poured hot water into the teapot. It brews a vibrant green color, serene to behold. With a clean, refreshing aroma. It's well rounded in the mouth. A very smooth tea with a bright finish. An enjoyable example of what one would expect from a quality Ti Kuan Yin. The fact that it is organic, and fair trade to boot, only make it more enjoyable.
Posted by Lukasz M. on 7th Mar 2012
After going through a bulk size of the Makaibari Estate oolong tea, I wanted to treat myself and buy the bulk size of the more expensive Ti Kuan Yin. Much to my surprise, the higher price did not equate to a better tea. In fact, I was very disappointed in this tea. I have finally finished up my bulk size container of it and I'm glad to be moving on to another tea. With respect to aroma, this oolong has a strange shellac, shoe-polish scent prior to steeping. It comes off unnatural in my opinion. Luckily, the strange aroma does not carry over to the flavor. Instead, the flavor is very dull, stale, and cardboard like. Since I always do multiple infusions of tea, I often found myself overcompensating for the lack of flavor by adding 2-3 times the amount of tea I would normally add. I can't say much else about it. It's just boring and a disappointment. I would not recommend it.
Posted by Anne on 3rd Oct 2011
The description is very fitting, floral yet forest floor is what this tastes like. Very complex and soothing, it tastes like it has the power to heal. It's not vegetal like greens nor is it bitter. The first infusion seems to be the best, but all are delicious.
We at Arbor Teas firmly believe that tea should be brewed to suit your personal taste. With that being said, here are some recommendations to get you started, but please remember you can make adjustments based on your own personal taste.
There are three main considerations when brewing tea: quantity of tea, water temperature and steeping time.
Quantity of tea: one level teaspoon per 8 oz cup of water
Water temperature: use water that has been heated until the first bubbles begin to rise from the bottom of the pot (195° F)
Steeping time: 4-7 minutes
Tip #1: Use fresh water whenever possible - water that has been sitting in your kettle overnight may impart a flat or stale taste to your tea. Be careful not to boil your water for too long. Over boiled water can sometimes impart an unwanted taste.
Tip #2: Keep in mind that brewing your tea for too long can extract undesirable bitterness from the leaves, so steeping time matters! For a stronger brew, don't steep longer, just use more tea.

There are five significant components found in all tea from the plant camellia sinensis: essential oils, which are the source of tea's delicious flavor and aroma; polyphenols, which are antioxidants that provide the tea's brisk flavor and many of its health benefits; phytonutrients, which are small amounts of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids including L-theanine (a very rare molecule that has been found in only three sources including camellia sinensis!) ; enzymes; and methylxanthines, which are a family of alkaloids that include caffeine. Each of these components work differently in the human body and a full description is best left to a medical journal. However, recent research exploring the potential health attributes of tea is leading many scientists to agree that tea, may contribute positively to a healthy lifestyle.

According to legend, the name Ti Kuan Yin came from a Qing Dynasty Emperor who became very ill, and no remedy could cure him. One day an advisor to the court (from Fujian) shared some of his homegrown oolong tea with the Emperor, who was miraculously cured. Upon his recovery, the Emperor named this tea "Ti Kuan Yin," which translates to "Iron Goddess Of Mercy". The Emperor declared that the tightly rolled and well-baked tea leaves resembled iron and had the healing powers of the Buddhist Goddess Of Mercy (Kuan Yin).
In China, tea is often brewed using the meditative Gong Fu method. This very formal, ritualized approach to tea preparation dates back to the Ming dynasty (1368-1644 AD). The term "Gong Fu" refers to skill gained through practice - expertise derived not from learning but experience. While the term "Gong Fu" could signify the serious practice of any art form, such as the martial art of related name (Kung Fu), Gong Fu Cha refers to the elaborate preparation of tea using miniature Yixing pots and cups. Yixing teaware is named for the purple clay it is made from, which hails from Yixing in China's Jiangsu province. Everything in Gong Fu service is small and delicate, placing emphasis on the elegance of the tea. Oolongs are the preferred tea in the Gong Fu ritual; they are steeped multiple times to highlight the evolution of taste as the leaves unfurl.

A company director was being questioned by police last night in connection with the murder of a suspected intruder who was stabbed to death at his home in Stockport.
Vincent Cooke, 39, a logistics expert, was alone on Saturday evening when two men broke into the large detached house in the affluent suburb of Bramhall and threatened him. Police said his wife Karen and 12-year-old son returned home during the altercation but managed to escape unharmed.
A man in his 30s suffering from serious knife injuries was discovered and treated by paramedics but died. A second man fled the scene in a white Citroen van. A 33-year-old man was later arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary and police recovered a van.
Chief Superintendent Tim Forber of Greater Manchester Police said officers had been called following reports of a break-in at around 7.50pm on Midland Road. He said: "Clearly this is a serious incident in which a man has lost his life and at this time we believe the dead man was one of two men who were attempting to carry out a burglary at the house. We will use all the resources available to us to establish the full facts of what has happened."
Last night the Cooke family home was cordoned off as forensic officers investigated the scene. A gold Maserati sports car and a silver luxury Range Rover, both with personalised number plates, were parked outside the property.
Mr Cooke has held a series of positions as a transport manager and company director over the past decade.
Residents living close by said they were stunned by the incident. Dennis Fortune, 33, a father of three, said: "It's terrible. I would defend my home. I've got kids to look after, but I would defend my home all day long. The man must be going through hell."
Floral tributes to the dead man – referred to as "Ray" and "Raymondo" – were left by his family members outside the house. One read: "Love you son. Going to miss you more than anything." One theory is that thieves may have been targeting the family's luxury vehicles and entered the premises in search of keys.

HIV: The Silent Epidemic in the South
The American South holds 37 percent of the U.S. population, but over half of all new HIV diagnoses occur there.
Under the multiple layers of history and statistics, it's a topic that has remained largely hidden in the South. A new documentary called "deepsouth" refocuses the discourse by shedding light on the people living in the most quiet corners of the region.
Lisa Biagiotti, who is the director of the film, spent almost 3 years, and traveled 13,000 miles, to collect over 400 interviews. She captures a unique interplay between various local and regional efforts, and capacity development in a system with broken social infrastructure.
The problem, as she sees and portrays it in her film, goes much deeper than HIV/AIDS.
"HIV was my GPS to the most fragile parts of our country," she says.
Hard-hit not only by poverty, but lack of education and access to health care, the film shows a culture that is dominated by secrecy and discrimination against HIV-positive individuals.
The narrative of this epidemic remains stifled within a highly rural and protracted geography, yet the reality of this epidemic has, and will continue to have, far-reaching consequences.
What makes Lisa Biagiotti's "deepsouth" a film of particular relevance is that it bridges the personal and the political—it goes beyond HIV/AIDS as a health problem and as a statistic to look at the underlying social circumstances, which explain and account for the perseverance of this disease in the South. Biagiotti joins The Takeaway to discuss her film and why the South has the most HIV/AIDS cases in the United States.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
i have an 8mth old son, i did not put a father's name on birth certificate, could i and how put someone's name on birth certificate who is not the biological father? the only piece of paper that says the biological father is the biological father is paternity test results because i filed for child support. if i could put someone on the birth certificate as the father, does that change my child support at all?
This response is for discussion purposes only. No attorney-client relationship is being created. If you need legal advice, you should consult an attorney in your jurisdiction.
It's unclear why you would want to put someone on a birth certificate if they are not the biological father. if you're in a situation where someone has expressed an interest in adopting, for example, that would make more sense. According to this clip from the PA website, it appears only the paternal could be "edited" into the certificate:
"How to Add the Father's Name to a Birth Record for a Child Born to an Unmarried Woman
As a result of Act 1997-58 that became effective January 1, 1998, a father cannot be listed on the birth record of a child born to an unmarried woman unless an Acknowledgment of Paternity has been filed with the Department of Public Welfare or there has been a court determination of paternity. If the parents wish to file an Acknowledgment of Paternity to list the father, it will be necessary to contact the Department of Public Welfare, Bureau of Child Support Enforcement at 800-932-0211, for forms and instructions. If both parents are unable to file an Acknowledgment of Paternity to list the father, a certified court order bearing the raised seal of the court and signature of the judge that establishes paternity, i.e. a Waiver of Trial, Support Order, or Custody Order should be obtained through their local Domestic Relations office."
Here is the link to the Pennsylvania department of health if you need more information. I'm sure they would answer your questions as well:

I have a 'Windows authentication' scan error; and this server is not in my domain.
After creating the appropriate local windows account, when I hit the 'Test' button SW gives me this error, [Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. #8007000E]
Is it some kind of database error? Or have I missed something here?

What system is throwing this error? Without knowing that...
Check the target system and the local system to see if your storage is full.
Maybe you should run a disk cleanup.
Apr 1, 2009 at 5:03 UTC
I checked three systems,
The target (the one which gives authentication error), the server where the SW is installed and the local system from where I am accessing SW. I have sufficient disk space in all.
PS: Most of the google results on the error shows an SQL DTS issue...

USD/CHF: Ichimoku analysis (Nov. 29)
Daily. This week there was a bearish development on the USD/CHF chart. The pair couldn't overcome resistance of one of the weakest Indicator lines – Tenkan-sen. It also pointed to the bulls' weakness. Almost during the whole week the pair was trading at the support provided by Kijun line in the 0.9070 area. But Kijun-sen isn't able yet to keep the market from decline to the negative territory. The fix below this line, as well as under the Senkou Span A, may provoke a new wave of selling. However, non-standard intersection of the Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B and the Golden Cross could slow down the rapid depreciation. In addition, note that the bears still can't break support at 0.9030.
Chart. Daily USD/CHF
H4. At the beginning of the week the pair has once again stumbled upon the Cloud top resistance at 0.9125. Here the bulls' road was blocked by horizontal Kijun-sen. Rapid selloff from here made USD fall below the Ichimoku Cloud. Negative sentiment is confirmed by the Dead Cross (C). The Cloud also became bearish. In the near future the bears may break support at 0.9030 and continue the downtrend.

Enoch Smith Jr. was one of the best defensive tackle prospects in the 2014 recruiting class, and ultimately chose Michigan State that cycle. The Mount Carmel High (Chicago, IL) standout would be close to home and play for a power program. But ultimately, things did not work out, so he announced his decision to transfer from MSU at the end of August.
Now, Smith is looking for another home. He will be part of someone's 2017 class, and have two years of eligibility remaining.
Two schools have extended offers to date. Kentucky and Syracuse. The Orange offered on Friday and have been in contact for some time. Syracuse was involved with Smith's recruitment out of high school, but that was a previous staff. This time around, Smith says he is "very interested" in the Orange.
"They're interested in me (too)," Smith said. "(It's a) great and historic place. A place where I can make an immediate impact. (It's) a great coaching staff that has a history of dominance."
Smith says his primary contact has been defensive line coach Vinson Reynolds. Reynolds has pitched what Syracuse has to offered both athletically and academically as well as what the coaching staff can do for Smith as a player, student and man.
"He's a very confident guy," Smith said. "He knows what he wants and he goes and gets it. He speaks highly of faith, and I'm a faith based person. So that caught my attention."
While Smith has not set up a visit to Syracuse yet, he says he is working on scheduling one with the coaching staff. He also plans on visiting Kentucky. Any other trips would depend on other offers that come in. Currently, there is no timetable for his decision.
Syracuse has connection to Smith's former high school. Mount Carmel produced one of the best players in Syracuse history in Donovan McNabb. Now SU is hoping to snag another one of their big time talents.

Five ways to naturally control Type 2 diabetes, found in studies
Please SHARE with friends and include eMaxHealth in Google Alerts for tomorrow's great stories.
Patients with Type 2 diabetes can control their blood sugar levels and mitigate damage to the blood vessels and major organs naturally. It's important to take medications prescribed by your physician, but without lifestyle changes, patients with diabetes suffer from decreased quality of life as a result of the physical and financial toll of diabetes.
Engage in short periods of exercise
In December 2011 researchers published findings that Type 2 diabetes can be controlled by exercising for short periods of time. The trick is you might have to exercise a little bit harder, but that's still good news. It means you don't have to hit the gym. Just get up and move, take a brisk walk, march in place or go for a short jog. Even a quick session of vigorous swimming or walking in the pool can help people with diabetes control their hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) levels, lose weight and preserve healthy blood vessels.
The findings, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, show high intensity, short workouts are a valuable addition that can help patients naturally control Type 2 diabetes.
The study authors wrote, "Given that the majority of individuals with and without type 2 diabetes do not accumulate sufficient exercise to achieve health benefits, and the most common cited barrier to regular exercise is a lack of time, our results suggest that low-volume high-intensity training may be a viable, time-efficient strategy to improve health in patients with type 2 diabetes." The finding is particularly important for individuals newly diagnosed with the disease. Speak with your doctor for clearance before engaging in any exercise program.
Consume anti-inflammatory foods
Focus on anti-inflammatory foods. In other words, foods with a low-glycemic index (GI). When carbohydrates break down into sugar they raise glucose levels that in turn releases inflammatory molecules. The result is damage to all organs of the body and the blood vessels that, over time, adds up to poor overall health, especially for people with diabetes.
Two recent studies found Type 2 diabetes patients can easily incorporate lower GI foods into the diet for better control.
Ohio State University researchers published findings in January, 2012 that focusing on foods with low glycemic index improved blood glucose control for diabetic patients studied.
Naturally controlling Type 2 diabetes means eliminating white potatoes, white rice and pastas and white bread. Instead, eat more whole grains, legumes, fruits and nonstarchy vegetables.
Type 2 diabetic foods that are low-glycemic index and can be easily incorporated in the diet include pumpernickel bread, lentils, kidney beans and barley.
Eat a handful of nuts every day
There is evidence that eating a handful of nuts each day can help control and prevent complications of Type 2 diabetes. A study published in the journal "Diabetes Care", June, 2011, found replacing carbohydrates with a handful of unsalted, raw or roasted nuts daily helped diabetics lower their HbA1C levels – a blood test that shows diabetes control - by two-thirds.
If you're HbA1C level is above 7.0 you're at risk for diabetic retinopathy, kidney failure, peripheral neuropathy and a variety of other complications. Your doctor might recommend that keeping it below 6.0 is best.

Try Cinnamon
One study suggested supplements could help control Type 2 diabetes naturally from the insulin stimulating effect of cinnamon.

Intoxicated on the bathroom floor,
the cellar door hanging off hinges, and you don't care because you can breathe.
born into the city of squalor,
you keep looking for justification
for the seething hatred inside your heart, for the one who
bore you
the one who pushed you out
(who has continued to fucking – push – you -
and the one who bled for you.
Good and drunk and
floating on some pill you don't know the name of,
staring at the underneath of the toilet, that contains the contents of last night's nothing,
and the nothing the night before that.
Vodka kisses and whiskey hugs,
'darling, you're my little perfect girl'
'darling, you're my little perfect fuck up'
'darling you fuck up'
'you fucked me up'
You fucked her up but inside your laughing,
your favorite part is when she makes it home and sobs into your chest
and confesses that she loves you, really
you just ruined her.
because you can just sit and laugh and agree
you fucked her up like you fucked yourself,
and you wished he'd never fucked her,
because you'd still be stardust suspended in animation
You'd be floating on something that isn't pills
and weed
and booze so strong it makes you retch before it reaches your stomach.
Slender fingers clutching clunky bottles
spending another night inside the practice house
pretending to be something you're not, pretending to be
functional and human and something
than the fuck up you know you really are –
the one who hurt her so.
The phone is ringing,
or was ringing,
you don't know anymore and
your breath hitches when you hear -
'darling, you fucked me up'
and the pen was blue,
the pen you drew the word on your arm,
the 5 letter word which wasn't enough -
was never enough but it was all you had.
the words in your mouth refused to let you breathe,
you hate this city,
but you'll probably die here.

Nicolay Nicolaysen
|Nicolay Nicolaysen
Nicolay Nicolaysen
|January 14, 1817
|January 22, 1911(aged 94)
Nicolay Nicolaysen (January 14, 1817 - January 22, 1911) was a Norwegian archaeologist and Norway's first state employed antiquarian.[1] He is arguably best known for his excavations of the ship burial at Gokstad in 1880.
Nicolay Nicolaysen was a founding member of the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments, of which he was president from 1851 to 1899. He also took active part in the restoration of the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim and of the Hall of Haakon IV (Håkonshallen) in Bergen. He was active in the founding the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design (Nasjonalmuseet for kunst, arkitektur og design) and was a proponent of the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry.[2]
In 1852, Nicolaysen led the first investigations at the Borre mound cemetery in Horten, Vestfold. The excavations uncovered an extensive selection of craft work of a stylistic form which has subsequently become known as the Borre style. Many of the artefacts recovered during these excavations are presently on display at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo.
Nicolaysen also carried out excavations of Munkeliv Abbey located at Nordnes in Bergen in 1857 and 1860. Here, well-crafted structural fragments were recovered. These can be found on display in the Museum of Cultural History (Kulturhistorisk Museum), part of Bergen Museum, and include a marble head of Øystein Magnusson. The first excavations of the Kaupang area were undertaken in 1867. Nicolaysen mapped one of the mound cemeteries around the former town, and he excavated 79 burial mounds. He did not, however, investigate the urban settlement associated with the cemeteries. Later excavations indicate that Kaupang was one of the first urban settlements of some significance in Norway.
Nicolay Nicolaysen is perhaps most famous for excavating the Gokstad ship burial at Gokstad farm in Sandar, Sandefjord, Vestfold in 1880. Currently the ship, together with a burial chamber, two small boats and two tent boards from the burial chamber are displayed in the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo.

Editors of the state-controlled Chinese newspaper Southern Weekend have demanded an end to advanced censorship of the publication by Communist Party officials.
The newspaper, which launched a rare strike over censorship this week, met with local propaganda officials today to try to resolve the dispute that has grown into a political challenge for China's new leadership.
The row has triggered protests and endorsements for the newspaper's cause from well-known Chinese celebrities, prompting unprecedented public calls for the Communist Party to loosen its tight grip on the media.
The protests by press freedom activists were sparked by a confrontation between Southern Weekend journalists and a provincial propaganda official accused of replacing a New Year's editorial calling for political reform and a strong constitution with a vapid tribute to the ruling Communist Party.
At the meeting yesterday, the editors demanded an end to advance censorship of the newspaper. The Communist Party would be permitted to provide guidance, but could not interfere with content until after publication, they said.
Academics have signed open letters calling for the official, Tuo Zhen, to resign, and protesters continued their demonstration outside the newspaper's office in support of the editorial staff yesterday.
Drawing attention to the issue, the Chinese actress Yao Chen quoted the late dissident Russian writer and Nobel Prize winner Alexander Solzhenitsyn to her millions of followers on China's version of Twitter, Sina Weibo: "One word of truth shall outweigh the whole world".
The protests have also seen government supporters take to the streets, accusing the striking media workers of treachery, urging people to toe the party line and blaming "the meddling of hostile external forces" for interfering in China's domestic media.
The Global Times, which is an offshoot of party mouthpiece the People's Daily, put the blame on overseas dissidents, including the blind lawyer and civil rights activist Chen Guangcheng who fled house arrest last year. "Their campaign … targets China's entire media system," the newspaper said.Reuse content

SUBMITTED: Monday, January 11, 2010POSTED: Monday, January 11, 2010
My arrival at ITS was rough; I had traveled a long way. The original facility I was interested in did not have a closet, but a rack on the wall. The manager was courteous and caring enough to direct me to another ITS facility that had actual closets. I have lived here for 10 months. The bulk of the people who live here are long term residents, not transients. The manager, maintenance supervisor and security person have all been very helpful. No, it doesn't have the most beautiful carpet, but they shampooed mine at my request. I turned the mattress and sprayed it with a Febreze product that deodorizes and disinfects. The mattress side I use was cleaner than the other side, actually, it had never been turned, so the side I use is brand new. I added a mattress cover and a foam pad to soften the bed.
I also added my own personal bedding; sheets, pillows, comforter, lamps, throw pillows, etc. I placed small persian carpets strategically around plus art on the walls, artifacts, plants, small pieces of my own furniture, etc. I scrubbed the kitchen floor with brillo and it sparkles. I added my own shower curtain and rings and bathroom rug, plus artifacts. I put a lovely wall clock up in the kitchen and covered the ugly table with beautiful custom table coverings. I also got rid of the chairs and supplied my own. The loveseat I have is very nice, was brand new. I have never had a minute's trouble with management. I stay here because I do not want the hassle of a lease, or a mailbox full of bills for utilities, land-line, cable and internet. Whenever something has been broken, they fix it. I do not use their maid services. After they watched me for a month and saw my character and that I paid promptly and fixed up the room, they allowed me to forego maid service. I bought a vacuum also.
Yes, the walls are thin. However, the property is not filthy; it is cleaned and power washed regularly. The manager is responsible and extremely courteous. I thin ITS is better for a single person who needs a long term studio apartment than for transients. Many of the people who have complained about ITS have to realize that transients are the ones who cause the issues in most cases. They are noisy, destructive, and do not care about the studio. The staff does look with suspicion initailly but once you have been here long enough for them to size you up, they are great. The studio apartment is between 550-660 square feet and well laid out. It's what you make of it......and better for long term so that you can fix it up.

Ashurst has hired Nabarro real estate litigation head Iain Travers in a move to bulk up its property disputes offering, which was hit by the departure of practice head Michael Madden last year.
Travers is set to join Ashurst on 1 November as head of real estate litigation with a mandate to assess and grow the firm's capability in the area.
Travers has advised a number of Nabarro's established real estate clients, including British Land, but is not expected to transfer many of the firm's property relationships with him.
He commented: "There will be some work I will take with me, but that's not the primary aim of the move."
Ashurst disputes head Simon Bromwich said in a statement: "Dispute resolution and real estate are core focuses for the firm and Iain's appointment is a further important step in developing our real estate sector practice. It is also consistent with our target of growing our dispute resolution capability. Iain is a highly respected lawyer who will bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the group."
Ashurst's real estate practice was hit by several departures in 2011, with real estate litigation chief Madden joining US firm Winston & Strawn's City base amid a string of non-contentious property partner exits (13 October 2011). This week Madden was appointed head of Winston's London office (19 September 2012).

Changing minds ... again
I could feel the awkwardness of the guy next to me. Aidan, his name was. He was not sure how to talk to me, so I soon put him at ease, gently altering his thoughts. It was becoming easier all the time. I could almost feel what he was thinking.
Some of it was sort of ... embarassing. Private. I've never really wanted to read minds - it is far too personal.
My face started to get hot. I felt it grow darker and knew that sooner or later questions would be asked.
Seeking a way out of this situation, I started to listen to conversations around me.
"My brother is a vampire," I heard.
Now this could be interesting ...

25 percent less exhibitors: Cebit struggles with worldwide economic situation
The economic situation is tense: Companies announce low figures for the financial quarters and the Deutsche Messe AG expects that 25 percent less exhibitors will be on site at the Cebit.
Even the biggest ICT trade fair, the Cebit, has to suffer from the international economic crisis. For 2009 all in all 25 percent less exhibitors and five percent less visitors are expected by the Deutsche Messe AG.
Many companies announced in advance that they won't be on the Cebit this year. The most famous of them is probably AMD. But there are some more cuts: Less Esport, fewer babes and less case modding.
According to the press release the hosts hope that the Cebit 2009 "is sending a signal to buck the international crisis mentality". Nevertheless some big companies like Toshiba, Samsung and the already mentioned AMD won't be among the 4,300 exhibitors.
PC Games Hardware will of course be on the site in Hannover and provide firsthand information from the Cebit 2009.

Obamacare 'Deadline' Just Hours Away
The Obamacare deadline to get signed up is coming up at midnight. And even though the individual mandate has already been pushed back for those that had trouble signing up online, you are seeing a huge push to get people enrolled.
In fact, you might have seen workshops like the one that Houston Congressman Gene Green was helping out with, trying to get people enrolled in Obamacare before the midnight deadline.
"It's going to be great if I have some other insurance besides the Harris County Hospital District because with that you have to wait months and months to get special care," Bruce Brown told our television partner, Local 2
Green said that over 250 thousand of his constituents are uninsured, which is one of the highest rates across the country.
"The whole point of the Affordable Care Act is so people don't have to make the emergency room their doctor," Green said. "They need to have a place where they can go when they're feeling sick, before they get sicker."
Health care reform analyst Mark Hatcher says low enrollment numbers in Texas is exactly why you're seeing this big drive.
"They're just shy of 300,000 people of the six million that are uninsured in Texas," Hatcher said. "They are far below what they expected to have by now."
And Hatcher says the deadline extension that was just announced may not be the only one you see.
"Don't be surprised if it gets pushed back again," Hatcher explained. "We are in an election year."
The Houston Department of Health and Human Services will extend hours today to get more people signed up.

Chelsea are due to fly to Israel for a UEFA Cup game against Hapoel next Wednesday, and so far the club is adamant that the match will go ahead.
The players intend to hold a meeting to discuss the situation after Saturday's Premiership match against Leicester at Stamford Bridge but Ranieri said: "Whatever UEFA decides, we agree."
Meanwhile, following yesterday's cancellation of the Australian rugby league tour of Britain because of security fears by the players, Australian Rugby Union chief executive John O'Neill met International Board delegates in Dublin and said today: "There is no compelling reason why our tour should be called off as well."
But the ARU has already decided to appoint appoint a "world-credentialled" security officer who will oversee arrangements if their trip to Europe goes ahead.
Australian swimmers competing in next month's World Cup and US Championships in New York have been asked to sign disclaimers preventing Australian Swimming Inc. from being sued if they are injured or killed in a terrorist attack.
There are also doubts about England's proposed cricket tour to India next month. Officials will discuss the situation at next week's full meeting of the International Cricket Council in Kuala Lumpur, which will be attended by the chief executives of all the Test-playing nations.

Report: City 2-3 Derby County
Mark Perrow reports from Ashton Gate
City exchanged blows with a Sky Bet Championship heavyweight only for a familiar scourge to land the knockout punch on a topsy-turvy night at Ashton Gate.
Tom Ince scored a hat-trick at the iPro Stadium at City's expense back in December, and the ever-dangerous winger was at it again with a typically composed finish to decide a game that swung back and forth all night.
A subdued opening gave way to a gripping exchange before half-time, as Johnny Russell headed the visitors in front from point-blank range before goals from Jonathan Kodjia and Bobby Reid threw Ashton Gate into a frenzy and left Derby County stunned.
To their credit the Rams responded with their best spell of the game immediately after the interval, scoring two quick-fire goals of their own courtesy of Craig Bryson and Ince, the match-winner despite the best efforts of a spirited City side.
Lee Johnson made one change to his side following the 1-1 draw at Brentford on Saturday – the same alteration he was forced to make in the first half at Griffin Park.
Scott Golbourne was fit enough for a place in the squad, but Reid took his place in the starting line-up after the defender hobbled off in West London three days ago, with Joe Bryan again reverting to left-back.
An even contest contained a smattering of good football and a shortage of chances in the opening exchanges.
Derby had the best of them after 14 minutes through Ince, who forced a first meaningful save from Richard O'Donnell with a rasping 25-yard drive that the keeper improvised smartly to keep at bay.
At the other end City tried to get Lee Tomlin more involved, but the visitors were alive to the threat of Jonathan Kodjia's pace and the Frenchman was struggling to push them back and create the space from which Tomlin thrives.
A brief flurry of excitement in the Derby box saw Bryan's delivery from the left seized upon by Kodjia, who stood the ball up to the far post with a cross just too far beyond the run of Luke Freeman.
Kodjia's influence was growing and the Rams were just beginning to look unsettled by the time they took the lead on 37 minutes with a goal that completely changed the face of the game.
When Jacob Butterfield's initial corner was not fully cleared, defender Jason Shackell stayed forward and provided an inch-perfect cross from which
could hardly miss.
It was a setback that sparked City into life. Almost immediately after the restart Reid smartly found
running at the last defender, shifting the ball on to his left foot and beating Scott Carson with a powerful shot towards the near post that the former England keeper will still have been unhappy to see evade his grasp.
Ashton Gate was alive and kicking again after a subdued start. Derby skipper Richard Keogh saw his clearance loop goalwards off team-mate Marcus Olsson and drop on to the top of the crossbar, but there was greater concern lying in wait for the promotion hopefuls before the break.
seized upon a loose header from ex-City man Keogh, the South Stand demanded a shot and the youngster obliged, rifling a low drive that again beat Carson down by his near post but far more emphatically.
Derby were shell-shocked. Perhaps the interval came at a good time for them, allowing them to regain some composure after an unlikely first-half collapse, and they began the second period firmly on the front foot.
Russell ran into the box and waited for the run of top scorer Chris Martin on his outside, who was convinced his shot got a touch from the diving O'Donnell on its way past the post.
It was a warning City did not heed, as a slick visiting team suddenly found their form. Ince's cross was met by the surging
, whose typical burst from midfield was rewarded with a neat first-time finish from ten yards.
did the damage himself, latching on to a cute pass around the corner from Martin before beating O'Donnell by calmly slotting the ball inside the far post.
Suddenly you could see why the Rams had scored nine goals in their last three matches – all victories – as they kept their three-goal-a-game average rumbling along in BS3.
It was City's turn to be pinned back against the ropes, as Shackell headed against the bar, but they came out fighting. Marlon Pack slid the ball down the side of the Derby back four for Kodjia, who charged towards goal but sent his shot into the side-netting when Carson looked more susceptible at his far post.
Johnson made a double change after 72 minutes in a bid to apply late pressure, introducing Scott Wagstaff and Peter Odemwingie for Freeman and Reid, but City would struggle to wrestle back the momentum that swung the game so dramatically in their favour at the tail end of the first half, and Derby survived a late rally to chalk up a fourth straight win.

text: MOSCOW, Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AAR confirms that it has reached agreement with BP to restore the normal functioning of the Board of Directors of TNK-BP Limited. The parties agreed to amend certain provisions of the Articles of Association of TNK-BP Limited. The agreed amendments will allow the current TNK-BP Board of Directors, which still lacks a third independent director, to make decisions on matters requiring simple majority approval, as well as unanimous reserved matters. Following such amendments, the Board will become fully functional and able to consider all matters within its remit. AAR CEO Stan Polovets said: "This agreement will enable the parties to better focus on preparing their respective transactions with Rosneft, while having a fully-functioning Board of Directors will ensure effective corporate governance and business continuity in TNK-BP during this transition period."

Andy Murray progressed to the semi-finals of the Marseilles Open with a hard-fought victory over Nicolas Mahut yesterday.
Murray, the world No 11, defeated his French opponent 7-5, 7-6 in just under an hour and a quarter.
The British No 1 awaits the winner of the all-French clash between Gilles Simon and No 8 seed Paul-Henri Mathieu.
Both Murray and Muhat exhibited a strong serve, with Murray serving 14 aces, four more than the 26-year-old Frenchman.
The match went with serve in the first set, Mahut serving to stay in the game at 5-4, and again at 6-5, when the Scot broke to win the set 7-5.
Murray then held serve to win the first game of the second set before Mahut did the same to level. Mahut pushed his opponent to deuce in the third game, but Murray held on, and the match continued in the same manner with the pair trading quickfire games.
The 21-year-old Murray won the ninth game to love, and Mahut found himself serving to stay in the match.
Murray moved to 40-15 to claim two match points, but the home favourite reeled off three points for game point before the Briton hauled him back to deuce. However, Mahut went back ahead and levelled the game at 5-5.
Murray held serve to go 6-5 up. A close-fought 12th game saw Mahut squander one chance to level, but he held his nerve to make it 6-6 and force a tie-break.
The Angers-born player won the first two points before Murray hit back for 4-2. Mahut levelled at 4-4 with his 10th ace of the game, but Murray won the next two points to move to match point at 6-4. He then clinched the match on his own serve to move into the last four.
Croatia's Mario Ancic is also through to the semi-finals after defeating Sweden's Robin Soederling 6-3, 6-7, 6-2.
The former world No 1 Monica Seles yesterday officially retired from professional tennis, having not played competitively since 2003. Seles, 34, won 53 singles and six doubles tournaments, earning nine Grand Slam singles titles along the way. In 1990, at the age of 16 she became the youngest winner of the French Open. She first became world No 1 in March 1991, a rank she would hold for a total of 178 weeks.
Seles was stabbed in the back by a spectator during a match in Hamburg in April 1993. She was not able to play again for more than two years. When she did return, she completed a comeback win at the Canadian Open, then reached the US Open final the following month. She then won her ninth Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in January 1996.
"Tennis has been and will always be a huge part of my life," Seles said. "I have for some time considered a return to professional play, but I have now decided not to pursue that."
