Let p0, p1, p2, p3
for constant coefficients A, B, C, D, E, F. If you plot the parametric graph
for some range of input values u, v, the image should be a two-dimensional surface in (x,y,z)-space. It's called a Steiner surface patch, but what does it look like? This web site lists all the different geometric types of Steiner surfaces. Usually, graphing polynomial quotients only gives a patch --- a part of the whole surface. The mathematical setting for describing the entire surface is projective geometry.
The "real projective plane" is the set of lines through the origin in real 3-dimensional space; when each of these lines is represented by one point, the resulting set is, in an abstract way, a smooth, two-dimensional surface. There are many ways to represent this surface as a two-dimensional subset of three dimensional space, and some of these representations were studied by J. Steiner. Here's some background on the geometry of Steiner's images of the real projective plane.
A convenient way to assign coordinates to the real projective plane is to pick a basis of 3-space, and denote by [u0
The starting point for our approach to Steiner surfaces is the Veronese variety, a smooth, 2-dimensional surface, given by embedding the projective plane into projective 5-space by the homogeneous parametric equations
This surface can be projected into 4-space smoothly, but any projection into three dimensional space must have singularities. Such a projection is defined by multiplying the 1 by 6 vector with a 6 by 4 matrix, so composing the Veronese map with the projection matrix gives four linear combinations pi
A natural way to classify Steiner surfaces is to say that two are equivalent if they are related by linear transformations of the domain (the projective plane, [u0
A. Coffman, A. Schwartz, and C. Stanton,
A parametrization of a Steiner surface patch in a 3-dimensional affine neighborhood by quadratic rational functions can be obtained from the quadratic polynomials by "dehomogenizing": using two domain variables u=u1/u0
into the fractions
In fact, this description is just a fancy way to state the original definition of a Steiner surface: the image of three rational functions of two variables, where the numerators are any three quadratic polynomials, and the denominators are equal quadratics. The 24 entries in the projection matrix are exactly the coefficients appearing in the quadratics. The (x,y,z) variables are the usual Cartesian coordinates for three dimensions; this shows how real projective 3-space contains the Cartesian 3-space, as the subset where x0
The following list of Steiner surfaces represents each equivalence class from the classification theorem, and gives several different ways to describe each object. Starting with a quadratic homogeneous parametrization in [u0
Some of the parametric surfaces have self-intersections along line segments, called double lines. When the parameters are eliminated to get the implicit equation, there are some "extra solutions": points which satisfy the implicit equation, but which do not appear as images of the parametric maps. These extra solutions extend the line segments to infinite lines, and appear as "whiskers" sticking out of the surface. (In general, if a line meets a quartic at more than four points, then the line must be contained completely inside the quartic.) In the POV code, some of the whiskers have been clipped off, and some are already invisible because the rays that reflect off the surface miss these lines entirely.
I've posted some code, which at least has worked for me, using a Gateway 2000 E-3100 computer. The Maple code worked with

|Steiner's Cross Cap. (equations from F. Apéry's book) One real double line is visible, but there are also two complex double lines, which would only be visible after a complex coordinate change, resulting in a Type 1 or 2 surface. There are two real pinch points, which curve in different directions (see the patches in the larger picture). It's also known as the Cross-Cap or Crosscap, and the pinch points are also called cross-cap singularities or Whitney singularities.
|Two of the three double lines in the Type 2 surface here coincide, forming a "tacnodal" line, along which two neighborhoods of this noncompact surface appear to be tangent. This line contains one of the two pinch points, and the remaining double line connects the two pinch points.
|Two of the three double lines in Steiner's Roman Surface here coincide, forming a tacnodal line meeting the other double line in a "T" shape, and four singularities at the segment endpoints. It is related to the previous surface by complex but not real transformations.

10.Quadric Cases
|Some quadric varieties can also be parametrized by homogeneous quadratic polynomials. For example, the sphere :
The main theorem in our paper on Steiner surfaces is that the above possibilities are essentially the only ones. A surface parametrized by homogeneous quadratic polynomials is either one of the types 1-9 above (the parametric map is related to one of the above examples by some real projective linear change of coordinates), or it is contained in a
Here's some POV code for making an animation sequence, and the animated

|Several different Steiner surfaces. Unlike the above two, which were different views of the same object, in this animation, the object is deforming from one type of Steiner surface to another. The idea is that Types 1, 2, and 3 are stable under perturbation of the parametric equations, and that the Types 4-10 are unstable intermediate cases. In the following equations, the time-dependent quantities are p=cos(t)/sqrt(3) and q=sin(t), 0<=t<=2Pi. The variety is a sphere when p+q=0 (two solutions for t, so two frames), a Type 5 when p=q or p=0 (four frames), and a Roman or Cross-Cap surface for all other values of t. Note the similarity of the homogeneous parametrization with the previous section's equations for Types 5 and 10.
Here's some Maple code, showing some of the frames in this loop, parametrized by real numbers
|Another deformation of Steiner surfaces. As in the previous animation, the coefficients of the parametric equations depend on another parameter t, 0<=t<=2Pi, and most of the surfaces are either the Type 2, which is not compact in any affine neighborhood, or the Cross Cap, which in this affine neighborhood appears as two components that could be separated by a flat plane. The quantities p=cos(t)/sqrt(3) and q=sin(t) are used again in the following equations. When p=0 (for two frames), the equations define a hyperboloid of two sheets, and when p+q=0 or p-q=0 (for four frames), the surface is a Type 4.

Nap Time: Studies Show Afternoon Naps Help Improve Emotional Health, Memory
Amid a long day at work or school, most of us turn to our afternoon cup(s) of coffee for extra energy. However, closing our eyes for just a few minutes to nap may do much more for our emotional, mental, and physical health. In a Wall Street Journal infographic, entitled "How to Take the Perfect Nap," researcher suggests the most useful nap depends on what the napper needs.
Contrary to popular belief, the perfect nap doesn't need to be long — but it must be consistent, quick, and in the dark. The power nap (10 to 20 minutes) is ideal for a boost in focus and productivity, according to a 2012 study. Researchers found the 10-minute nap produced immediate improvements in sleep latency, sleepiness, fatigue, vigor, and cognitive performance. The 20-minute nap, however, produced improvements 35 minutes after napping, and lasting up to 125 minutes.
Although it may be tempting to stay asleep, a 30-minute nap can lead to sleep inertia, or the feeling of grogginess and disorientation that comes when waking up. A 2015 study found sleeping for up to 30 minutes can reverse the hormonal impact of a poor night's sleep. Researchers claim their study is the first to find napping could be used to restore biomarkers of neuroendocrine and immune health back to what's considered normal.
Getting up to 60 minutes of shut eye can also help us feel refreshed and rejuvenated. This nap is known for improvement in remembering facts, faces, and names. It's also been shown to improve alertness for up to 10 hours. The only downside to this hour-long slumber (because of course) is the increased chance you wake up feeling groggy.
Napping for more than 90 minutes usually goes through ever sleep stage, including REM and deep, slow-wave sleep, which helps to clear the mind, improve memory recall, and restore lost sleep. Interestingly, naps that include a full sleep cycle limit sleep inertia and make it easier for us to wake up.
Sleep has been consolidated into one long period, but the reality is our reaction time, memory, and alertness diminish come three o'clock. This is why some Latin American countries have a Siesta time, known as nap time, held between 1 and 4 p.m.
Remember, napping later in the day can interfere with us falling asleep at night, and disrupt our body clock. So nap responsibly.

how do i help them go through bullying?
how can i help them avoid bulliying?how do i tell them what to do with bullies?
26th August 2014 04:59 AM #2
Dear chloemum,
Thank you for posting this question - what a tough topic for any parent.
I would want to instill in my children what sort of relationships are appropriate and teach them by example acceptable ways to treat, and talk to, other people. I would use reading daily books together as an excellent opportunity to reinforce this positive relationship message.
Are your children at school? It would be useful to know what the school's anti-bullying policy is (which all schools should have) and how they can work with parents.
There are also a number of anti-bullying charities which can provide resources, support and education on bullying for parents and children. These include: BulliesOut and the Bully Zero Australia Foundation.
Here's to a world totally free of bullying!
With warm wishes,

69 Tasting Notes
Steeped this tea has slightly smokey characteristic oolong aroma, very gentle and pleasant. Liquor has a fresh grassy taste which immediately turns into a complex aftertaste, with familiar smokiness from smelling the tea. There is a slight bitterness that stays in the mouth. Cup smells like a very high quality brown sugar or honey based on different infusions. Color of the infusion is a very deep gold, I could get about 6-8 very flavorful infusions (gaiwan) from it with last ones being only grassier and fresher than earlier ones. Flavor stays very strong throughout all infusions. Definitely a tea I'd recommend.
I was pondering for the longest time what this tea steeped smelled like to me and the best I came up with is lemony briar lollipop with a hint of black tea. Regardless of what it truly is it smells amazing, as a morning tea it just hits the spot.
It has very mild bitterness almost zesty. It's a full flavored bold tea, yet not at all over-powering. There are very obvious grapefruit notes in it. Everything about this tea screams citrus to me, yet in a very subtle elegant way. It's not so much of a taste that is citrusy, the tea rather wakes those tastes up in your mouth as you drink it.
Amazing tea, I will definitely check out more Darjeelings thanks to this one.
I would say it's a good breakfast or all-day-round tea, it's not overly complex, very light pleasant taste (I noticed a bit of a hay note to it) while drinking with a bit of astringent aftertaste, slightly bitter. I am not very knowledgeable of orange pekoes, it seems like they are supposed to be clean and easy drinking, I can definitely agree that this tea falls under this description. Not my cup of tea, pardon the pun, it lacks boldness and complexity to me. Verdict – something you'd drink as an all day tea, not to savor.
As much as I love stronger teas this one is a keeper. It's a treat to your senses in all forms – dry, steeped and sipped. Spring is all over this tea – dry it smells like very light honey, steeped you start to distinguish grassiness and fresh spring flowers and on tasting it all of these nuances come together in a delicious beverage. This tea has a fresh aftertaste for a long time making you crave more. You'll be smelling your cup long after you're done drinking it. It really makes me think of sunny flower fields and light summer breeze.
I definitely like black+green tea combinations and this one doesn't disappoint. Very flowery yet strong brew. However, I am more into berries when it comes to flavored tea, so it wasn't anything special for me personally ergo the lower score. Not something I'd stock up on or perhaps even buy again but no negative emotions either. Something like that.
Not a big fan of Earl Grey tea, but I like my berry teas. This tea was truly a revelation for me, amazingly delicious. You can definitely taste strawberries in it. I also love that you can still taste a high quality black tea among the fruitiness. I can steep it till it's pure black and it won't spoil it, just makes it richer and bolder. Highly recommended if you want delicious black tea with some non-intrusive fruitiness.
I can't help but try and defend this tea. It's a very mildly flavored pu-ehr with amazing earthy aroma nothing short of mountain soil. On tasting it you can easily taste the young roots and meadow grass. Resteeps easily for at least 3 times keeping the flavor (getting milder and gaining more of a fresh hay taste). One point I must bring up is the "pu-erh effect", this tea definitely delivers an amazing rush. The best I can describe it is feeling instantly refreshed, clear-minded and gathered. If you need a coffee in the morning to wake up and you are trying to find a tea that will match that I cannot recommend pu-erhs highly enough. No caffeine crash, no jitteriness, no thoughts all over the place – just pure clean energy. In fact try having a 3rd or later steep short time before bed, you just might learn something new about yourself or solve that problem that has been bugging you forever. This is my first pu-erh and I am forever in love with this sort of tea. I would definitely recommend this particular one to anyone who wants to jump into amazing world of Pu-erh.
Thank you, Ryan, I will definitely try that. This note is a little dated, I've had my share of puerhs in a mean time and I'd recommend trying a tuocha puerh if you haven't yet had a chance. If you want to get more into straight Chinese teas try finding a dedicated store around you for that, David's Tea is good for quick purchase but there is better tea out there definitely. If you're in T.O. I could recommend a couple, let me know!
Tea Dynasty – (http://www.tea-dynasty.com/) – Yonge/Bloor
Sanhe Kungfu Tea Shop – Yonge/Erskine
Tao Tea Leaf – (http://www.taotealeaf.com/) – Yonge/Rosedale
All three of them have an extremely knowledgeable people working so it's always a lesson in tea for me any time I come :)
Dry leaves have an overpowering smoky smell, but don't get fooled by it, steeped tea has a very complex and pleasant aroma with distinct black tea notes. This tea might not be something you'd drink every day; it's one of those that you know absolutely positively you want to have. Other reviews of campfire in a cup are spot on, I can only add that a warm night spent outside with a cup of this will de-stress the busiest bee. If you ask me beats the hassle of camping any time. I can't help myself but savor every sip I take, it opens up with new notes each time. Re-steeps well and it doesn't oversteep easily first time, go bold or go home.
It's a very strong and flavorful tea. I like my tea full flavored so usually full recommended steeping time works for me but 6 minutes makes this tea very malty, almost bitter even though I rinse my tea all the time. Not something that necessarily works in the morning taste-wise, but wakes you up just right. Has a very distinct honey aftertaste. 3 steeps is what I get from this tea and second and third steeps are completely different from the first one, very light and delicious tea, almost sweet. As long as you can play with the first steep just to get it right to your taste it's a highly recommended tea.
How much tea do you use per 8oz and how long are your 2nd and 3rd steeps? And how different do they come out?
Just saw your comment so sorry for later response.
I think it's always better to put more tea and steep it shorter time especially if you're interested in different flavors. Assam really seems to have a punch a first time so perhaps keeping it around 2-3 mins with 1.5-2 teaspoons should be sufficient, after you can be less strict, once the initial bitterness is gone I got refined flavors (I'd say around 5mins and 7mins for consequent).
Regardless you will need to adjust it to your tastes, needless to say.
Thank you Daniil for your recommendation and I would like to apologize for not thanking you earlier… I forgot I had asked you this question. :/
Next time I brew this tea I'll try what you suggested. Again, thank you!

OK AMC stoppedtripping and put the last three episodes of TWD up. I started watching this series last month. So my thoughts:
THE MINUTE I SAW NORMAN REEDUS STEP OUT OF THOSE WOODS IN SEASON 1, I THOUGHT I DON'T CARE IF THIS SHOW SUCKS NORMAN REEDUS IS IN THIS SHOW AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS! I have had the hugest crush on him since I first saw him in Boondock Saints. It also helps that his character is soooooo awesome.
The scene with Maggie and Glen how did I know it was gonna be Maggie who was going to snitch. You will let him rape you but mention cutting off Glen's hand nonononono or whatever the governor threatned to do to Glen. If he can take a busted eye and zombie.....ijs
Rick like the new attitude that phone scene was lame though.
Carl, he's such a badazz now. He was annoying me originally too
Lori's gone, moving on.
Andrea it's time for you to die. One minute your waving the women's right flag and then the next minute your jumping on the first availble...you know what
Michonne is pretty cool. I felt so much satisfaction when she stabbed the govenor.
Darryl and Merle...I want to see how this plays out. Will Darryl turn his back on his brother. Or will Merle punk Darryl for joining with Rick and abandon our merry thieves.
WHEN THE HELL ARE THEY GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS EVERYONE IS INFECTED THING?? Don't think that I forgot...
We should nominate for best zombie kills when they get the slicing and the dicing like in Zombieland.

Adrian (Mich.) gender-discrimination case settled
The federal government is forcing Adrian College, a private NCAA Division III school in southeast Michigan, to build and renovate facilities after citing it for 11 violations of gender-equality rules, including not adding female locker rooms when it built a $6.5 million multipurpose stadium.
Sponsored Links
The college, affiliated with the United Methodist Church, agreed to a series of changes, including better pay for coaches of women's sports and more public relations staff time on them. Failure to comply could cost Adrian any federal aid it receives. The agreement with the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights caps a three-year investigation.
The college spent $15 million on its athletics facilities in recent years but neglected to include appropriate facilities for female athletes, according to the federal office.
Such a lengthy list of violations is unusual, said Erin Buzuvis, a law professor at Western New England College who blogs about Title IX, the federal rule that requires gender equality in college athletics.
"When the problems are this widespread, that's an indication (administrators) feel women's athletics is just some sort of add-on … in a gesture to political correctness," she told the Detroit Free Press.
It's unclear how much the remedies might cost. Adrian officials wouldn't return calls, but a spokeswoman said in an e-mail that Adrian is committed to gender equality.
Molly Moore remembers inspecting blueprints several years ago for a $6.5 million multipurpose athletics stadium about to be built on Adrian's campus. She couldn't believe what she saw — multiple men's locker rooms and none for women.
"I said, 'Where are all the women's locker rooms?'" remembered Moore, who was then assistant athletics director and softball coach. She said male administrators told her, "It must be a typo. They are there."
There were no female locker rooms when the stadium opened in 2008. But they'll be added now under the agreement signed with the federal government this month.
The government cited the school for 11 major violations of the federal gender-equity rule and is mandating changes — including the addition of women's locker rooms at the stadium that include wood-grained lockers, a lounge and a flat-screen television.
The U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights said it found women were underrepresented on athletic teams; coaches of women's teams were paid less than counterparts for men's teams; every men's team had superior locker rooms compared to the women; athletic trainers and publicity staff were spending too much time with only men's teams; and some male athletes got benefits that were not offered to female athletes, such as being allowed to live off campus.
Moore, who filed the complaint in 2008 that sparked the investigation, said she was pleased with the results.
"Every step along the way, I gave Adrian College the opportunity to do the right thing. They chose to disregard it."
For example, Moore said she noticed one year that the Porta Potties located at the softball field had been removed. She thought she was going to get rest rooms built at the field. Not so, she was told. A new baseball stadium included new female rest rooms and the players "would have a shorter walk to get there" than to the Porta Potties, Moore remembered she was told.
"I said, 'Isn't that a Title IX violation?' They said, 'Probably.'"
Moore said her complaint wasn't meant to pit male athletes against female athletes.
"I don't begrudge any of the male athletes anything they got," she said. "My concern was the women got even less."
Under terms of the agreement, the OCR will monitor Adrian in meeting the agreement. That means more women's sports, constructing and renovating locker rooms in multiple buildings, more games for women's teams, making major renovations to the softball field and increasing pay for coaches of women's teams.
For example, the female locker room to be built in the stadium has to be completed by the end of the 2012-13 year and must have 34 lockers with a metal wood-grain finish, a television, a stereo area and a small lounge.
The college has to do similar work in other locker rooms across campus, including renovating current women's locker rooms to make them match exactly the men's locker rooms.

underlayment for quickstep laminate flooring
We have chosen quickstep for our laminate flooring, however, unsure which kind of underlayment to use. I do believe we must use a quickstep brand to get the full warranty. We are putting the laminate flooring on concrete floor in south Florida. How's the 2 in 1. Any suggestions?
2 in 1 is exactly what you need.
Seal your slab first and follow up with 2 in 1.
I install lots of flooring in So. FL and sealing the slab is just as important as the vapor barrier. 2 layers of the 2 in 1 is close to some of the higher priced underlays. In FL, seal, seal, seal!
Use The 3n1 Its A Lot Better. Sound Moisture Pad

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Re: Clogged fuel filter?
Alex, I think the 2 micron is definitely too fine. That's probably as fine as or finer than your secondary. I believe I'm using the 30 now. I used a 2 micron for one season because that was all that was on the shelf and I wanted to get it done, but I always wondered if that might have been what pushed my fuel pump over the edge that year.
|Alex W
Re: Clogged fuel filter?
I'd need 2 y valves, one for the fuel return, plus another fuel fill line and vent. I think that is a lot of work for minor gain. I'd probably have to remove the existing tank to make room for a second one, there isn't a good spot available.
Re: Clogged fuel filter?
Alex, can you put in a smaller second tank and a Y valve? Drain and clean the big tank, and leave it, use the smaller second tank as your primary.
|Alex W
Re: Clogged fuel filter?
Thanks Tom, I'll try the finger pump again when I get a chance. I put in a 2 micron filter, but when this (and my backup) fail I'll get the 10. My Yanmar filter had no visible blockage, so I think the Racor is doing all of the work right now.
12 gallons was by memory, 14.5 is even worse from my point of view. 6 gallons would be ideal, but isn't worth doing the work to change to.
Re: Clogged fuel filter?
The label on the fuel tank in my 28-2 says it holds 14.5 gallons. Yours might be different but it's always good to know.
Minnewaska's advice to make sure your Racor filter is a more forgiving 20-30 microns is right on, I think. I believe the "tighter" filter puts more strain on your lift pump too.
The finger pump on the fuel pump works for me, but it takes well over 100 squishes to fill the filter and bleed. And thats after I crank the engine for a few seconds to get things going--holding the kill lever and water intake closed of course. If the finger pump doesn't have a distinctive "squish" feel to it, carefully turn the crank a few degrees and try again. Apparently the cam position matters.

Re: Clogged fuel filter?
Replaced the fuel filters (and did engine and transmission oil changes) yesterday. The primary fuel filter, a Racor 200FG, was pretty dirty. The secondary that is engine mounted was very clean. The engine is running well now. I did not de-screen the fuel pickup, but may do that today.
The engine-mounted hand pump wasn't working that well. Is it common for these to fail? I ended up using the oil change pump to bleed some points on the engine, a practice that I'm used to from owning many diesel cars.
I also practiced docking under sail yesterday, just in case this comes up again.
Re: Clogged fuel filter?
"Polishing" fuel at your level is accomplished by running the engine for an hour or so.
All diesels have either electrical or mechanical low pressure pumps that supply fuel to the high pressure rack.
They all pump more fuel to the rack than is actually used, there is a fuel return coming off the rack and going back to your tank (or the valves that switch for multiple tanks).
The pump on my W30 put out 25 gallons per hour - so essentially I was polishing 24 gallons per hour every hour of run time down to the 2 micron level (primary 20, secondary 12, on engine 2) as well as removing water.
Of course, that's not as good as a real polish, gunk accumulates on the bottom that the pick up tubes never get.
For that you take off the access and stick your hand in there and scrub, if you have a tank access plate. If not you make one

Re: Clogged fuel filter?
I would probably prefer a smaller fuel tank for most of my uses. The 12 gallon tank on my Pearson carries a years worth of fuel for me (unless I do a multi-week cruise in the summer), yet I need to keep it topped off to avoid drawing in water through condensation.
On my Catalina 25 I would swap out to a 3 gallon tank for most seasons, even with multiple sailing trips per week that would last me 2-4 months. Then I'd bring along a second 6 gallon tank when cruising. With an inboard I don't really have that choice unless I want to start ordering custom tanks.

Re: Clogged fuel filter?
On our current boat, I noticed some slightly diminished RPMs, about 100, during the first season. After I pulled the screen from the intake, the engine worked perfectly. When I pulled the filters as part of normal maintenance later in the year, the RACOR was covered in sludge. It's a miracle that any fuel made it to the engine. What happened is that sludge from the tank was sucked to the Raycor and stopped, which is exactly what a filter is for. Since then, the Raycor has been pristine when I change it out.
Let the filters do their job.

Nearly everyone has experienced a power outage at some point in their lives. Such crises are becoming ever more frequent, with the number of storm disasters around the country. When an outage occurs during extremes of temperature, the result can even be a loss of life.
Portable generators can keep a heater unit, lights or refrigerator running until the power comes back on. Consequently, they are a very useful piece of equipment to have as an alternative option.
Whether or not you should buy portable generators for yourself will probably depend on your average living conditions, the amount of money you can spend, and whether you consider them a convenience or a necessity just buy the top ranked.
Advantages Of A Portable Generator
A portable generator can cost between $500 and $2,000. Like any other piece of equipment, you can usually wait for a sale to get a better price. Your generator will standardly be mounted on a wheel base, so it is small enough and mobile enough to store in your shed or garage.
Portable generators are set up similar to a push mower. You gas them up when you need them, and pull a starter cord to operate them. Once they are running, you attach an extension cord from the appliances you want to run. Obviously, the size and number of appliances attached to a portable generator can affect the amount of power you need. You can find them offering between 3 and 10 kilowatts of power. Buy the more expensive unit with a higher power output if you need to attach more appliances.
Like any power mowers, you will need to start your generator once in awhile during the year just to keep it running. Like a power mower, it will require periodic maintenance so that you can store it over the winter months, and it may need occasional repairs.
Overall, portable generators are a very good thing to have around in an emergency. They can keep a minimum of appliances running in your home, so that you can continue to live there comfortably and safely through the outage.

In most cases, the answers to life's more complex questions have really simple answers. In today's selling environment it's often hard to determine who exactly is "the buyer." Your salespeople are given a lot of inputs:
With all of the different voices – "You should do this," "You should say that," "You need to present this way" – echoing in the heads of your salespeople, things can get very confusing.
A Tale Of Two Sales
The thing is – the buying environment for most of us has changed, leaving us with two distinctively different buying patterns:

Why are sales and marketing professionals working harder and longer than ever before? Why are they seemingly in a constant firefighting mode, moving from one fire drill to the next, one meeting to another?
We are in the middle of a major transformation in the B2B sales model. Your company is caught between a rock and a hard place because your investors want to see accelerated growth and improved margins. However, your customers have the same pressures, and all have some form of enterprisewide strategic procurement initiatives underway. Your goal: sell at a higher price. Their goal: buy only what they need at the lowest possible price. Something has to give.
In response to these tectonic forces, we find many companies have a variety of internal projects designed to combat the commoditization trend. Some common efforts include:

Quick GuideEating Disorders: Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating
What is the difference between emotional eating and binge eating?
The primary difference between emotional eating and binge eating involves the amount of food that is consumed. While both may involve a sense of trouble controlling a craving for food, emotional eating may involve consuming from moderate to great amounts of food and may be the only symptom that a person has or be part of an emotional illness like depression, bulimia, or binge eating disorder. Binge eating disorder is a distinctive mental illness that is characterized by recurrent episodes of compulsive overeating, in that affected people uncontrollably eat an amount of food that is significantly larger than that which most people eat in a distinct period of time (for example, over two hours), even when they are not hungry. The person with binge eating disorder may eat each much faster than normal, conceal the amount they eat out of shame, and may feel disgusted by their eating after doing so. In order to qualify for this diagnosis, the binges must occur an average of once per week over three months.
What are causes, triggers, or risk factors for emotional eating?
Like most emotional symptoms, emotional eating is thought to be the result of a number of factors rather than one single cause. Some research is consistent with girls and women being at higher risk for eating disorders, showing they are at higher risk for emotional eating. However, other research indicates that in some populations, men are more likely to eat in response to depression or anger, and women were more likely to eat excessively in response to failing a diet.
It is thought that the increase in the hormone cortisol that is one of the body's responses to stress is similar to the medication prednisone in its effects. Specifically, both tend to trigger the body's stress (fight or flight) response, including increased heart and breathing rate, blood flow to muscles, and visual acuity. Part of the stress response often includes increased appetite to supply the body with the fuel it needs to fight or flee, resulting in cravings for so-called comfort foods. People who have been subjected to chronic rather than momentary stress (like job, school, or family stress, exposure to crime or abuse) are at risk for having chronically high levels of cortisol in their bodies, contributing to developing chronic emotional-eating patterns.
Psychologically, people who tend to connect food with comfort, power, or for any other reasons than providing fuel to their body can be prone to emotional eating. They may eat to fill an emotional void, when physically full, and engage in mindless eating. Some people whose emotions cause them to eat may have been raised to connect food with feelings instead of sustenance, particularly if food was scarce or often used a reward or punishment, or as a substitute for emotional intimacy.

DMX To Miami Judge: "F That!"
DMX was denied bond earlier today in a hearing in a Miami courtroom. Now he must sit in jail for another month.
It didn't help matters that the troubled rapper lashed out at the judge, spewing the F word, according to CBS 4 in Miami.
"Oh that just ingratiated you to me," Judge Lawrence Schwartz said. "I've never heard the F word before so it's okay.
The rapper was arrested in Florida on August 14 on a warrant after failing to appear in a Phoenix courtroom on drug charges. He was taken in to custody and has been jailed since. The rapper has missed several court dates and has been arrested a number of times in the past three months.
In May of this year DMX's troubles began. He was first arrested for speeding in Arizona. Then later, he was picked up on animal cruelty charges. He was then busted in Florida twice, once on driving charges, and a second time for attempting to purchase cocaine from an undercover policeman.—Anthony Thomas

How stupid do you have to be to think making 11-20 million illegal aliens citizens won't cost money. Just look at California, they are going under and so is their standard of living.
Add to that cost of family members that will be sponsored to the US and receive benefits. Then there is the never ending flow of illegal aliens into the country that no one seems too excited about stopping.
The country is broke, where is the money coming from to support these people?
BTW, the CBO is doing a cost study. Besides the costs this bill has too holes in it to pass anywhere. Democrats know this bill won't pass.

Sure it does Senator, it gives or sells our American citizenship to 11 million illegal aliens that broke our Immigration Laws to get here!
It's sad when some politicians and segments of our population want to degrade our American Citizenship to the point where it has no value or meaning.

Lawyer hit with drug charges
July 27, 2013 10:29 AM
UNIONTOWN (AP) — Police have charged a defense attorney with bringing heroin and other drugs to his client — while the client was locked up in Fayette County's booking center.
Police charged Uniontown attorney Brian Salisbury, 34, on Thursday night, after they say a surveillance camera showed him passing the drugs to a client who was in custody on a bench warrant.
Police said the client told them he is an addict and arranged to have Salisbury bring him drugs so he could avoid withdrawal sickness while incarcerated.
Salisbury didn't immediately return a call for comment Friday.
He is free on bond pending a preliminary hearing Tuesday.

Consumer confidence dips in five major cities
Consumer confidence in five major mainland cities fell last month as shoppers became aware of the full impact of the global financial crisis on the economy.
'Nervous' consumers in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Shenyang and Guangzhou are cutting back on their household and entertainment budgets following the Lunar New Year, according to a tracking study released yesterday.
Market research consultancy DDMA found 45 per cent of respondents in the five cities had already cut back on spending, an increase of seven percentage points on a similar study conducted in January.
A further 15 per cent had not reduced their spending but were planning to cut back, bringing the potential proportion of buying-wary consumers to 60 per cent.
DDMA director Sam Mulligan said the data showed mainland consumers were not panicking yet, but the economy was having a strong impact on their spending patterns. 'They are nervous, as opposed to anything else, which is making them cut back on their spending.'
People were beginning to worry about their jobs after hearing about friends who had been laid off.
'They know there is trouble on the way or in progress at this point in time,' Mr Mulligan said. 'It's not just far away, it is nearer to their own lives. It is now more tangible, something they can understand.'
The survey polled 602 middle-level to high-end consumers in the five cities. It was the first monthly tracking study following a benchmark study that spoke to 2,500 consumers in the same cities in January.
One in five respondents said their annual bonus had been cancelled, and 35 per cent said they had spent less over the Lunar New Year than usual due to the economy.
Job security was a key concern, with 26 per cent saying they were worried about being made redundant, up 5 percentage points on January. One in eight had already lost their job, a statistic described as 'astonishing'.
However, consumers were more positive about the longer-term economic situation, with 43 per cent believing things would get better within six months.
Mr Mulligan said people were generally confident that the government was 'going to sort everything out', but they remained cautious until they saw concrete evidence of the economy improving. There was also worry that the stimulus package 'can only manage things inside China'.
'The high-level consumers tend to work in finance or trading or with foreign companies and these are the companies that are under a lot more threat than the Chinese equivalent companies,' he said. 'It doesn't matter what stimulus package you have, it is not going to create demand for those companies.'

There's no doubt that my constantly styled mane is thirsty, and with summer practically at our doorstep (Oh, hello there, summer!) I've been a bit stressed that my hair will get seriously dehydrated. While serums and deep conditioners prove effective during the winter months, in the summer, we need something more to pull off that sleek, sexy, shampoo-commercial look, right?
Thank you, Jose Eber, for launching the Therapy RX Moisture Boosting Tool, the first of its kind. Part-flat iron, part-hydration gadget, this tool is definitely unique — but does it really work?
First off, the "iron" must be plugged in get the infrared technology working, which opens the hair follicles, which is what allows for a leave-in treatment to fully saturate the hair shaft. The weird part? There's no heat — so while it may look like the iron you've used over and over again to flatten curls, it's not. At all.
The team at Jose Eber then suggests applying a leave-in treatment to maximize the moisturizing results before "flat-ironing" one-and-a-half inch sections of your strands. So yeah, after I applied what I'm currently rolling with — L'Oreal Professional's Mythic Oil — I would spend about 20 minutes not-flat-ironing the moisturizer into my strands. And you know what? After just 2 weeks of use (with only two treatments per week) my hair looked Pantene-commercial ready.
But, the true test came when I pawned the tool off onto my BFF who has been highlighting her hair since age 12. (Oops, did I just spill her secret that she's not a natural blonde?) Regardless, it's no secret that her hair had been looking noticeably parched. After just 10 days of use her hair looked brighter, healthier, and undeniably softer — crazy, considering the directions insist it'll take a month to work. Would you put a dent in your pocket for perfect hair? We say yes; this gadget is DEF worth the money — about $200. Go save your strands before summer starts!

Med school returns _1 million donation to coke – nov. 9, 2015
The University of Colorado's medical school is giving back a $1 million donation from Coca-Cola, which was granted to support a group of scientists researching obesity.
The nonprofit group, called the Global Energy Balance Network, came under fire earlier this year when the New York Times reported that Coca-Cola was a financial backer. The report said the group was trying to shift the blame for obesity away from
bad diets, fast food and sugary drinks.
James Hill, a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, is a founder of the organization. He is one of nine researchers from universities across the globe that sit on its executive committee, according to the group's website.
"While the network continues to advocate for good health through a balance of healthy eating habits and exercise, the funding source has distracted attention from its worthwhile goal," the school said in a statement.

At least one of its scientists in the network, Steve Blair of the University of South Carolina, has questioned the role soda and fast food play in weight gain.
"Most of the focus in the popular media and the scientific press is, 'Oh they're eating too much, eating too much, eating too much' blaming fast food, blaming sugary drinks and so on, and there's really virtually no compelling evidence that that, in fact is the cause," he said in a video.
After receiving backlash over the summer, the Global Energy Balance Network took down that video, saying it reflected Blair's personal views rather than the position of the group.
It has said that Coca-Cola ( KO)had no input on how the money was spent and the group was not required to report anything to the company. And it has clarified that it does not believe that physical activity is any more important than diet for reducing the risk of obesity.
"GEBN is not about minimizing diet or even the role of sugar-sweetened beverages in development of obesity," it says on its webiste. Its mission is to find an "evidence-based approach to ending obesity."

The returned $1 million donation will now be given to the Boys and Girls Club of America, Coca-Cola said.
The college's scientists "are making significant contributions to the understanding of, and care for, these health-related issues and the source of funding for the network should not distract from their efforts," it said in a statement.
Coca-Cola also made a $500,000 donation to the University of South Carolina to support the Global Energy Balance Network.
The school said on Tuesday that it won't be returning the money.
"There has been no misuse of funds, all research was conducted ethically and within all applicable guidelines and the gift was not contingent on any specific research outcomes. Therefore, there is no compelling reason to return the funds, nor have we been asked to do so," said Wes Hickman, the university's chief communications officer.

800 University WaySpartanburg, SC 293031-864-503-5000
During the 2006-2007 academic year, the Student Government Association under the leadership of Michael Berry, proposed a grade forgiveness policy. Faculty senate approved a grade forgiveness policy at the March faculty senate meeting. The policy was then modified in order to meet the requirements of the four senior institutions in the USC system and went into effect in the catalog year 2007-2008.
Course Grade Forgiveness
It is the policy of the University of South Carolina that every currently enrolled fully-admitted, degree-seeking undergraduate earning a "D+", "D", "F" or "WF" in a USC course may take up to two (2) undergraduate courses for a second time for the purpose of grade forgiveness. Both the first and second grades shall appear on the USC permanent record, but only the second grade will be used in computing the University of South Carolina cumulative grade point average. An explanatory notice will appear on the record. Once grade forgiveness is applied to a repeated course, the action may not be revoked.
Eligible students wishing to apply the course grade forgiveness policy to a course enrollment may do so at any time during their undergraduate enrollment, but no applications will be honored after the degree is awarded. Grade forgiveness can only be applied once per course for a maximum of two courses (not to exceed 8 credits) on a student's undergraduate academic record, without regard to the number of degrees sought Under the grade forgiveness policy, the forgiven and repeated class must both be taken at the same USC campus. Courses transferred from other institutions are excluded from this policy.
This policy does not preclude students from repeating classes multiple times, in accordance with program requirements, but only the second attempt at the class may forgive the original grade of D+, D, F, or WF.
Only a regular letter grade can replace a forgiven grade. Grades of "W", "I", "S", "U", or "AUDIT" may not replace previous grades. Grades carrying an honor code violation sanction of "X" are not eligible for grade forgiveness.
Established requirements for repeating classes, admission to, or progression in, specific academic programs of the University take precedence over the grade forgiveness policy. Program or progression grade point averages are not affected by this policy. Refer to the catalog guidelines for each program for specific requirements.
Courses intended to be repeated for additional credit, such as research or applied music, are not eligible for grade forgiveness. Semester honors (dean's or president's honor list), academic standing (scholastic deficiency, probation, suspension), or previous grade point totals will not change retroactively as a result of applying this policy.
Students who have been granted Academic Forgiveness to reset the grade point average after readmission are not eligible for course grade forgiveness. Please refer the bulletin entry for Academic Forgiveness for former USC Students with Less Than a 2.00 Cumulative GPA.
Effective date
The policy went into effect beginning in the fall 2007 term. This means that both the first time the course was taken and the second time must be during or after the fall 2007 semester. Courses taken prior to the fall 2007 term cannot be used for grade forgiveness.
Students wishing to apply for grade forgiveness should come to the records office to pick up the required form. Students must exercise judgment in the use of the grade forgiveness policy as in no case are more than two coursesallowed.Once selected the grade forgiveness cannot be revoked or changed to courses taken later in an academic degree.
Specific Academic Programs
The grade forgiveness policy does not supersede an admission or progression policy of a specific academic program or major. Although the GPA is re-calculated for those two courses that are selected, the original grade is still on the record. If a specific policy for a major requires that a student not be allowed to re-enroll in a course after earning less than a C, it is not effected by the grade forgiveness policy.
Grade failure due to violation of honor code
X, a designator of academic dishonesty, will be available to faculty beginning with the fall 2007 semester. The X suffix will be appropriate if the student is found guilty by the honor court and the faculty elects this sanction for the course. It will not be an option on the grade entry system, but will be the result of working in conjunction with the Dean of Student's office. Course grades of F, D, D+, with an X designation are not eligible for grade forgiveness.

I'm not a cop, but shouldn't she have been searched prior to being put into the back seat of a police car? Somebody's have a come to 'Jesus' meeting with a supervisor.
This is a discussion on Police: Woman pulls gun in police car, starts firing within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Police: Woman pulls gun in police car, starts firing | KATU.com - Breaking News, Sports, Traffic and Weather - Portland, Oregon | News GRASS VALLEY, ...
Police: Woman pulls gun in police car, starts firing | KATU.com - Breaking News, Sports, Traffic and Weather - Portland, Oregon | NewsGRASS VALLEY, Ore. - A handcuffed woman in the back of a police car pulled out a .40 caliber handgun and started firing shots Wednesday night, holding police at a distance for more than 4 hours before surrendering.
The standoff closed Highway 97 both north and south in northcentral Oregon.
The incident started just before 8 p.m. Wednesday when a Sherman County, Ore., sheriff's deputy stopped a blue 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier two door sedan for a traffic violation.
The car was being driven by Leonardo Rodriguez, 54, of Yakima, Wash. Candice Sahme, 24, and Nathan Smith, 21, both of Yakima, Wash., were passengers in the car.
During the course of the traffic stop, the deputy became suspicious that Sahme may have been involved in criminal activity. He detained Sahme by placing her in handcuffs while he continued his investigation. The deputy then put Sahme in the rear seat of his Ford Crown Victoria police car and called for assistance.
While the deputy called for backup, police said Sahme produced a .40 cal handgun, which had been hidden on her person, and fired multiple shots from the back seat of the police car.
The deputy, who was not hit by any of the shots, was able to retreat from the immediate area while he awaited assistance. Neither he nor his drug detection canine, which was locked in a dog cage in the rear of the police car, were injured.
Police said Smith exited the Chevrolet Cavalier and unsuccessfully attempted to free Sahme from the back seat of the police car.
A short time later, backup officers arrived on scene to assist. Smith and Rodriguez were both taken into custody, but Sahme remained holed up in the back of the car.
Officers from several law enforcement agencies including the Sherman County Sheriff's Office, Gilliam County Sheriff's Office, the Sherman County District Attorney's Office and the Oregon State Police responded to the scene.
Highway 97 was closed to both northbound and southbound traffic while the scene was secured. The Oregon State Police SWAT team was activated and responded to the scene.
At 2:15 a.m., Sahme surrendered to members of the SWAT team and was taken into custody. Sahme was transported to the jail in The Dalles, Ore., where she was charged with First Degree Criminal Mischief, Unlawful use of a Weapon, Attempted Second Degree Escape, Recklessly Endangering, Menacing with a firearm and Theft first degree.
Smith was also jailed on charges of Felon in Possession of a Weapon and Theft First Degree.
Rodriguez was not charged with a crime and was later released.
I'm not a cop, but shouldn't she have been searched prior to being put into the back seat of a police car? Somebody's have a come to 'Jesus' meeting with a supervisor.

Probably male officers who didn't want to risk sexual accusations by patting her down.
It does seem like the cops were not on the ball though.

- Zen Saying
I walked into a situation at the jail where a guy had gone off and whipped up 3 jailers as he was brought in and 2 police officers. He was my size, which is not big. They had supposedly 'frisked' him before they ever put him in their car and took him to the jail, and again after arriving at the jail. At least that's what they reassured me they had done. It took all 5 of them to shove him into a holding cell and quickly lock the door (right after I walked in).
I was known for de-escalating situations, and violent situations. So, they asked me to talk to this guy. I went into the room and had them lock me in.
After 2 hrs of him threatening to kill me about every 2 minutes, he calmed down and decided to cooperate with the jailers. I told them to open up the door, and as they did.... the guy says ..... "oh , I better give you this first", and reaches into the crotch of his pants and hands me a .357 loaded revolver.
WHAT ? This guy actually had something to back up his threats. I walked over to the 2 officers, pulled them and the Jail 'Supervisor into a private room, tossed the gun onto a desk.... and began explaining to them if they put my life in danger again like that ... exactly what part of their anatomy of theirs I would put that firearm.
Lesson re-learned. Never trust anything if you haven't checked them personally.

One thing that was 'pounded' into my classes heads was to check EVERYBODY..........twice......yourself!
A .357....or a 'cuffed & stuffed' woman with a 'forty'.....is beyond a wake-up call.
Glad both situations ended with none of the GG's getting shot.

I can understand a male officer not strip searching a female suspect but a quick pat down even with the back of his hand is not unreasonable. For everybody safety.
I cant believe that she wasn't shot on the spot.

I'm surprised that no one was killed here. They should have called for a female officer if they didn't want to search her.
Like HK said, a search with the back of the hand is perfectly reasonable and should have been done. I've done it. Not a big deal for something that could save your life.
Not every police dept has female officers on board. Mine doesn't.

I agree with the back of the hand pat down. Not doing so puts lives in danger. How is he supposed to hold this individual, and the other two, while waiting for a female officer to do a pat down?
Lucky no one was killed or injured.

I would like to know if she was handcuffed in the front or back and yes some can slip the cuffs to the front. Not so easy with hinged cuffs with palms facing out though. Appears he was dealing with three suspects by himself. I have no reservations about female patdowns as long as I can articulate the reason for it and officer safety is my main concern when I do it. Not being critical because I wasn't there just wanting to learn.

Bringing your little one along for the ride is better for the both of you.
Have you heard?
Carried babies...

Are Healthier. They gain weight faster, have better motor skills, coordination, increased
muscle tone, and sense of balance. 2, 5, 7

seats only get to see the adult world at knee level.
- Become Independent Faster. Making them confident and less clingy. 3
- Sleep Better. They fall asleep quicker and sleep for longer periods of time. 4
Learn More. Not over stimulated, but calm and alert, observing and taking in the
world around them. 5

but it's also great for you. Read on.
Carrying your baby or toddler…
- Enables better communication between you and your baby- (without your baby having to cry) as you become attuned to your baby's facial expressions and other gestures.
- Creates confident parents — there's no better feeling than when your baby is calm and content because you have met all of his or her needs.
- Is convenient — nothing is more awkward than carrying a heavy plastic car seat with one arm!
- Allows you to safely move about with your baby regardless of terrain — you can stroll down uneven sidewalks, narrow lanes, walk up stairs,or climb mountains.
- Does wonders for your spirit— encourages you to get out and breath in the air and let the sun shine warmly on your face with your little one
- Encourages weight bearing exercise- lactating mothers will lose less bone mass by carrying with them the extra weight of their babes.

First Remote Heart Surgery A Success
A new surgery method could help protect doctors from excess radiation.
Engadget reports that a cardiologist has performed the world's first ever remote heart surgery. Dr. Andre Ng of the Glenfield Hospital in Leicester UK successfully used a Remote Catheter Manipulation System to insert electrodes into a patient's heart. The robotic arm of the system allows doctors to stay away from the radiation of the X-rays used to monitor patients.
A press release explains:
Dr Ng said: "The new Robotic procedure is an important step forward because, while some procedures are straightforward, others can take several hours. Because X-rays are used to allow the doctor to monitor what is going on inside the patient, it means that doctors standing close to the patient wear radiation shields such as lead aprons which are burdensome. Protracted procedures can lead to clinician fatigue and high cumulative radiation exposure.
The benefit of the Robotics system to the patient is that movement of the catheter could be done with great precision. It is anticipated that further developments of the system may allow complex procedures to be made more streamlined.
