Poetics of Riverdale
When we think of great New York poets — Frank O'Hara and Allen Ginsberg, Anne Waldman and Laurie Anderson, among others — what they've immortalized and exalted have been the streets and energies of Manhattan or, on rare and less transcendent occasions, Brooklyn. The Bronx, when it did appear, has always been something of the old country — where immigrant parents and grandparents lived, a remote, provincial satellite. And certainly Riverdale, Bronx's sleepy neighborhood with a large Jewish population, would appear to have nothing to offer to poetic imagination. Judith Baumel, featured on The Arty Semite last year, seem to have been the only exception.
And yet, Sarah Stern's recent collection of poems, "Another Word for Love," is profoundly grounded in Riverdale — in its subway stations and parks, buildings and streets. The first of the two poems featured today, "Morning Prayer," takes place on the streets of the neighborhood, and features a curious juxtaposition of spiritual experiences, genders and visions. The second piece, "Reentry," is an homage to exceptional character, evoked so vividly that he practically walks (or rather, waddles) off the lines of the poem.

text: Game of Thrones: A guide to where we are as season 4 begins As the fantastically complex fantasy drama returns, even the most avid fans could use a reminder of exactly who's doing what and where... Comments Written By Stephen Kelly 5:43 PM, 07 April 2014 Fantasy drama Game of Thrones is notorious as one of the most densely populated and politically complex shows on TV. Even the most dedicated fan could be forgiven for losing track of the precise movements and motivations of some of its characters. So as season four begins, here's a reminder of where we find each of those key players with an eye on the future of the coveted Iron Throne of Westeros… King's Landing Power is ever shifting in the political snake-pit that is King's Landing. Ever since being stripped of his role as Hand of the King in favour of his father Tywin, it's safe to say that Peter Dinklage's disfigured Tyrion Lannister is not having the greatest of times; tormented by his father, and forced to marry Sansa Stark just before his family slaughtered most of hers. Awkward. Can it possibly get worse than that for Tyrion in season four? This is Game of Thrones. Of course it can. Meanwhile, there's a new House in town: the Tyrells. Having come to the aid of King's Landing during the Battle of Blackwater, this mysterious family have been rewarded with the honour of joining their house to the Lannisters with the prospective season four marriage of King Joffrey – still a psychopath – to the brazenly ambitious Margaery Tyrell. The Tyrells have changed the dynamic of King's Landing. Now there's another family just as adept at scheming as the Lannisters – especially Margaery's cunning grandmother Lady Olenna, The Queen Of Thorns. Towards the end of season three, this rivalry is epitomized in a scene in which a threatened Cersei Lannister tells Margaery, "if you ever call me sister again I'll have you strangled in your sleep." Dragonstone Ever since losing the Battle of Blackwater, Stannis Baratheon is a broken man; spending most of season three stewing away in his castle, concocting strange schemes with sorceress Melisandre to kill the son of a king in order to awaken some stone dragons. See, this is what happens when you live in a land without television. This son of a king comes in the form of Gendry: the bastard child of Stannis' brother, Robert. Interestingly, Gendry doesn't end up in Dragonstone in the books, so perhaps is written in to give Davos – now Stannis' hand of the king – something to do. Namely, to free Gendry and give his king a letter from the Wall pleading for help – reminding him that if he wants to be the king of Westeros, then he needs to start acting like it. The Starks You might still be trying to repress it so here's a reminder: Robb and Catelyn Stark are dead. Betrayed and slaughtered by the Freys at what is now known as the Red Wedding, they are survived only by Robb's younger siblings Sansa, Bran and Arya and his bastard brother Jon Snow. Arya is traveling with the Hound, who plans to return her to the Starks for a price. At the end of season three, however, they arrived too late, with Arya witnessing Frey soldiers parading the decapitated corpse of her brother around the keep with the head of Robb's wolf sewn on to it. Later on, she kills a Frey solider. It won't be her last. As for Bran, he's still on a quest to find the three-eyed raven in the north and explore his strange power to warg into the minds of beasts and – as he does to Hordor at the end of season three – people. While on his travels, he encounters Jon Snow's friend Sam, who tells him of a passage to get beyond the wall. Beyond the Wall Speaking of Jon Snow, he has been discovered as a spy while undercover as a wildling after refusing to kill an innocent man. Leaving behind wildling lover Ygritte we last see him riding back to the Night's Watch with three arrows sticking out of him (love tokens from Ygritte) to inform them that King Beyond The Wall Mance Rayder has amassed an army far greater than any of them imagined. Across the narrow sea The dragons have grown strong, and so have their mother. In her mission to end slavery across the narrow sea Daenerys Targaryen has used her army of Unsullied warriors to take the major slaver city of Yunkai. Having freed its people, she is then hailed as their "mhysa", meaning "mother." Season three ends with her being held up in a sea of people like some sort of god – which, let's face it, she basically is.

Junior guard Geno Thorpe (Pittsburgh) led all Bulls with 16 points. Junior center Ruben Guerrero (Spain) and sophomore forward Luis Santos (Bronx, N.Y.) registered 12 points each. The Green Wave took the early advantage with an 11-2 run to begin the contest. The Bulls then responded by going on an 18-8 surge to take their first lead, 20-19. Freshman guard Michael Bibby (Phoenix) hit a pair of treys to fuel the USF rally. After the lead see-sawed a few times, Tulane entered the break with a narrow 40-38 edge. The Bulls would trail until sophomore guard Troy Holston (Queens, N.Y.) made a driving layup, pushing USF in front 45-44 at the 15:24 mark of the second half. Shortly thereafter, Tulane would rattle off 10 consecutive points and never relinquish the lead again in the road victory. Quotable Interim head coach Murry Bartow on the play of Guerrero and Santos: "If you look at Luis and Ruben combined, they had 24 points and nine rebounds from the (center) position. We can't ask for any more than that. That's phenomenal production from that position." Key Stat Sophomore guard Kain Harris contributed a game-high 27 points for Tulane. Notables: The Bulls shot 52.2 percent in the first half. Thorpe notched his 11th double figure point game this year. His three steals tied a career-best. Guerrero's 12 points were one shy of matching his season-high (FAMU, 11/11). The 12 point outing by Santos was only his fourth double digit output and just two away from tying his career-best (Troy, 12/1). Up Next: The Bulls will be on the road for the next two games, at Memphis on Saturday at 6 p.m. ET and at UCF on Jan. 17 at 7 p.m. USF returns home to host Tulsa on Jan. 21 at 1 p.m. Reserve your seats at USFBullsTix.com.

Printed text is crisp and clean, with little sign of splatter or poorly formed characters in its 600dpi output. Colour print is also clean, but there's a slight fuzziness with black text on coloured backgrounds. This is a little surprising, as the printer uses HP's much heralded ColorSphere toner, which should offer 'better flow onto the page'. Colour rendition is fair, though colours still looked too intense in our photo test piece and there was loss of detail in darker areas.
HP claims the printer is particularly quiet and we wouldn't argue with this, measuring it at a peak of 58dBA and an average below 55dBA. It makes few of the clunks and thumps which many entry-level laser printers, including earlier HP models, produce.
So, to the all important running costs. The Color LaserJet 1600 takes four drum/toner cartridges and HP considers the transfer belt a lifetime component. The cartridges are rated at 2,500 pages for black and 2,000 pages each for cyan, magenta and yellow and cost around £50 each, depending on source. Amazon was the cheapest source we could find.
This gives print costs of 2.49p for a black page and 10.60p for colour. Comparing that with other colour lasers in the same price range, the Color LaserJet comes out higher than either the Canon LaserShot LBP5200 or the Samsung CLP510. In the case of the Samsung, it costs nearly 3p more per colour page. This puts it near the top of the cost bracket for sub-£250 colour lasers. You might expect consumables to drop in price as a printer moves further into its sales life (this is the first UK review of the Color LaserJet 1600), but this printer uses the same consumables as the Color LaserJet 2600, which has already been around for a while.
This is an inexpensive colour laser printer to buy and is easy to maintain and use. It prints quietly and with a minimum of fuss, but colour output is not as natural as with some others and you may need to tweak the software to get the tints you want. It's also quite costly to run, with page costs at the upper end of the bracket for this class of colour printer.

Treasuries Climb after Record Auction
It was a banner day for Treasuries Wednesday (more like a flag, actually), with rumors filling the data and events void and a brisk two-year note auction the fulcrum for gains in the latter half of the session.
The "classic" concession building process overnight ahead of the record $27 billion issue was interrupted by "nouveau" demand for the shorter maturities. Rumors of an explosion at the Empire State building in New York City vipered through the market, reminding investors of the pre-weekend terror warnings.
They soon withered on New York police reports that some manhole covers were blown down the street, but not before giving the curve a lift and sowing doubts in equityland after Nokia and JDS Uniphase warnings.
A convexity bid on 10-year notes, solid demand for five-year notes and a very strong 2.69 bid-to-cover on two-year notes kept the front and middle-maturities in the black.
A research desk also was rumored targeting a 6.1% unemployment rate in two week's time. Options were still dominated by roll activity on calls from June 10-year notes to September.
Swap spreads continued to narrow in anticipation of the $6 billion GE Capital deal to price Thursday. The June bond closed up 17/32 at 102-01, and the two-year notes and 30-year bond spread widened three basis points to +245 basis points.

Buffett: Portrait of an Artist
as a Young Man
(August 25, 1999) -- Warren Buffett was eleven years old when he bought his first stock, Cities Service preferred. He picked up 3 shares for himself and 3 for his sister at $38 apiece. The stock immediately dropped to $27. When it recovered to $40, he bailed out, with a $5 profit after commission. Shortly thereafter, Cities Service soared to $200 a share. The young Buffett thus received an early education in the fruits of long-term investing.
This story comes from Roger Lowenstein's Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist (Doubleday, 1996), a splendid biography of the man sometimes called the "Oracle of Omaha" for the way he combines uncanny investment acumen with a heavy dose of casually irreverent folk wisdom, a kind of Will Rogers meets Ben Franklin.
Indeed, Buffett is generally considered the greatest investor of all time because he so skillfully joins a cold analysis of the "numbers" with an old-world emphasis on hard work, honesty, and character. He believes that investing involves entering into a partnership in which managers and owners share a mutual responsibility as well as a mutual interest. As chairman of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) and (NYSE: BRK.B), the publicly traded company that has served as his principal investment vehicle since 1969, he's cultivated precisely such partnerships.
Buffett looks for management that can deliver an attractive return on shareholder equity rather than growth at any cost since the goal is to create shareowner value rather than simply indulge the CEO's ego. But even in his wholly owned businesses, Buffett allows his managers complete autonomy in running the operations, providing general counsel only when they ask for it. He wants results, but he gets them mainly by demanding integrity and accountability. He abandons an investment only when good management still fails to make a business successful. And as in the well-publicized crisis at Salomon Brothers in 1991, Buffett is willing to shoulder the duty of cleaning house when management fails to meet his standards.
As a result of his investment success and of his insight into the financial world, Buffett's annual letters to Berkshire's shareowners have become required reading for many who agree with his roguish sentiments. His iconoclastic positions are legendary. For example, he thinks stock options for top executives are counterproductive since they allow CEOs to claim potentially vast rewards without sharing in capital risks borne by the stockholders. And he's said that capital gains on stocks held for less than a year should be taxed at 100%.
Buffett's unconventional wisdom follows from the way his early childhood experiences found a perfect intellectual embodiment in Ben Graham's method of value investing, first described in Security Analysis, the 1934 classic that Graham wrote with David Dodd. Yet, Buffett's genius follows from his ability to maintain his grounding in Graham while expanding his vision of what makes for a good investment. Over his career, Buffett's method has evolved so that he no longer looks merely for stocks that are inexpensive relative to their assets but for stocks that are reasonably priced relative to their growth prospects. Determining a company's potential for growth involves subjective evaluation of such intangible factors as the value of a consumer brand and the quality of its management, assets that simply didn't figure into Graham's analysis.
In many ways, Buffett's methods are of greater interest than his returns because they are so full of lessons for individual investors. That's because with few exceptions, nearly anyone could have engaged in the investments that Buffett has made. His huge stake in Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), for example, was bought on the open market at a time when most analysts were too timid to say the stock was undervalued. Though he's had increasing access to Wall Street insiders and other powerful, well-connected people, his investments ultimately involve no special tips from either. Instead, he has relied on his own encyclopedic, indeed, legendary knowledge of publicly available annual reports, which he devours like pulp fiction.
Still, the returns justify the method. For its July cover story on Buffett, Business Week calculated that $10,000 invested in Berkshire when Buffett took over the company in 1965 would be worth $51 million now. The same amount invested in the S&P 500 index would be worth just $497,431.
But Buffett's performance was exceptional from the start. Between 1957 and 1966, the partnership Buffett managed delivered a 1,156% return (or 704.2% after deducting Buffett's share of the profits) versus just 122.9% for the Dow, according to Lowenstein. So a partner's theoretical $10,000 investment would have grown to $80,420 in less than a decade.
Operating in what he deemed a highly speculative and thus (for him) difficult investment climate, Buffett followed up that first decade of gains with a 36% return in 1967 and a 59% return in 1968. It was the "Go-Go" era, and the broader market was surging. Still, Buffett was continuing to lap the market's performance.
By May 1969, however, he had had enough. He confessed to his partners, "I am not attuned to this market environment, and I don't want to spoil a decent record by trying to play a game I don't understand just so I can go out a hero." So he announced he was dissolving the partnership, something few successful money managers ever do. Buffett spent the rest of the year liquidating the partnership's holdings. Yet, he still managed a 7% gain in 1969, much better than the 11% loss recorded by the Dow.
Though speculator George Soros, former Fidelity Magellan fund manager Peter Lynch, and British economist John Maynard Keynes are revered for their investing prowess, no investor rivals Buffett for putting together such a consistently outstanding record over so long a period. And Buffett's returns have come without a single down year and without taking excessive risks or employing much leverage. For the most part, his success has simply followed from intelligent, long-term investing in American businesses.
Given Berkshire's current market capitalization of nearly $102 billion, Buffett's 31.5% economic stake is now worth about $32 billion. Due to Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) stunning run, Buffett's personal wealth has now fallen well behind that of his sometimes golfing companion Bill Gates. Still, Buffett is among the world's wealthiest people.
If this litany of numbers seems excessive, it's only appropriate. As Lowenstein makes clear, Buffett himself was obsessed from an early age both with numbers and with making a lot of money. He was continually doing calculations in his head, often to the amazement of the various groups of "apostles" who would gravitate to him as he sat on front porches as a child or in leather chairs as a fraternity brother and simply explained all things financial.

Instant Photos, Lasting Fame
By Mike Brewster
Anyone bedeviled by a small child constantly asking "Why?" will forever be put to shame by Edwin Land, best known as the inventor of instant photography and founder of Polaroid Corp. On a sunny winter day in Santa Fe, N.M., in 1943, Land's three-year-old daughter Jennifer asked why she couldn't see the picture Land had just taken of her, right then and there. According to a speech Land gave many years later, "Stimulated by the dangerously invigorating plateau air, I thought, 'Why not, why not design a picture that can be developed right away?'"
While it took his daughter's prompting for Land to create the instant camera and change the picture-taking habits of millions of people around the world, he was already a giant among scientists by the late-1930s for his groundbreaking work on light polarization. In fact, Land, whose 533 patents stands second only to Thomas Edison, occupies a singular niche at the nexus of science, art, and commerce: a master inventor, a genius with color and photography, and a businessman who created the model for the modern, research-based tech company. Not bad for a two-time Harvard dropout.
Land was born on May 7, 1909, in Norwich, Conn. His father, Harry Land, ran a scrap-metal and salvage business. Land was an excellent student at Norwich Academy, where, through his readings on science and technology, he first became intrigued by the idea of light polarization. While light rays are normally made of waves that vibrate in various directions, polarized light is confined in one direction. Scientists knew that concentrated light would be helpful for numerous commercial uses, but to that point no one had unlocked the secret of harnessing polarized light.
Land had entered Harvard in the fall of 1927, but left after one year to focus on his light polarization research. He moved to Manhattan and in 1929 devised an apparatus for polarizing light -- what he called the sheet polarizer -- which consisted largely of tiny iodide-quinine crystals. He applied for the patent for his sheet polarizer just days before his 20th birthday.
Land returned to Harvard and so impressed the chairman of the physics department with his polarization research that he was given his own laboratory to work in, unheard of for an undergraduate. But Land dropped out again in 1932 to set up Land-Wheelwright Laboratories in Boston with a former Harvard faculty member, George Wheelwright III. The word polaroid was coined for Land's improved plastic light-polarizing material that Land-Wheelwright now manufactured for use in sunglasses and car headlights and windshields, among other things. The name Polaroid was soon adopted for the company itself.
In 1936, still years away from his instant-camera research, Land was honored by the National Manufacturers Assn. as one of the 25 most significant people of the previous 25 years, sharing the award with the likes of Henry Ford and radio pioneer Edwin Armstrong. "People were tumbling over themselves to honor Land, even then," says Victor McElheny, who worked as a consultant in the early 1970s at Polaroid and later wrote the Land biography, Insisting on the Impossible. "Here he is being honored with industrialists like Henry Ford, and he's sitting in the center of the first row, honored as the inventor of the sheet polarizer. The respect for him as a scientific mind was just unbelievable."
As for the development of the instant camera, it took five years from that fateful day in New Mexico for Polaroid's Land Camera to hit the market in 1948. Then, in 1959, Land announced that an instant color-picture system had been invented, and by 1963 those cameras were on the market as well.
Land's reputation in scientific circles led him to his chairmanship of a secret intelligence panel for President Dwight D. Eisenhower that advised the President on the U-2 spy plane, development of military surveillance satellites, and a future space program. Land even wrote the original memo about what NASA's mission should be.
Like many visionaries, however, Land didn't always see eye-to-eye with those focused on the here and now. In 1977, Polaroid suffered a huge debacle with its Polavision instant movie system, which flopped commercially. Land was heavily criticized by shareholders and the board of directors for not concentrating more on the bottom line and was asked to leave the company. Years later, in a Playboy interview, Apple (AAPL ) co-founder Steve Jobs would say the decision was one of the dumbest things he had ever heard of in the history of American business.
After being forced out, Land spent his time doing research on the nature of color at his Charles Institute in Cambridge, Mass. Land died on Mar 1, 1991 in Cambridge at the age of 81. As former colleagues planned his memorial service, one of them said, according to McElheny, "You know, he never had a typical reaction to anything."

Valedictory Speakers
DiMaio, Jeremy
President Wright, members of the Board of Trustees, distinguished faculty, honored guests, staff, fellow graduates, family and friends. It is a tremendous honor for me to speak on behalf of the graduate class this evening.
There is a great Buddhist saying that goes "All that we are is the result of what we have experienced." Fortunately for us, as graduates, we have enjoyed one of the most unique living-learning experiences available in higher education. Most of us came to Hawaii from somewhere else, not simply challenged by HPU's rigorous academic curriculum, but also by vast cultural differences, significant language barriers, and momentous financial challenges -- all while creating a new life an ocean away from our friends and our families. Despite these obstacles, we are here tonight, together as one, in celebration, because we have achieved our goal of graduation and have successfully scaled what once seemed liked an insurmountable mountain.
Success, as you know, is not a solitary journey. It is, therefore, an incredible challenge to thank and recognize all of the extraordinary people in our lives that have made this experience possible…. If you are here tonight, in body or in spirit, in support of a graduate, this night is as much about you, as it is about us.
I once read that educators transform mirrors into windows for their students; our professors at HPU have demonstrated that self-reflection, through learning, frequently leads to clarity of thought. Graduates, tonight is the first night we peer clearly through that window, and as such, I'd like to thank the faculty of Hawaii Pacific University for not only providing us a continually challenging educational process, but also for encouraging us to continually challenge the educational process.
That being said, I'd like to personally acknowledge Dr. Cheryl Crozier-Garcia for leading me to my window. It is through you that I discovered that learning is not only the transferring of knowledge from teacher to student; it is also the sharing of knowledge from student-to-student, and often even from student-to-teacher. Thank you for teaching that fundamental lesson.
Well, congratulations Class of 2006, your presence here this evening demonstrates that you have indeed earned your place in the history of Hawaii Pacific University. You have proven that you are determined, ambitious, intellectually curious and actively seek to challenge your own conventions.
In closing, I'd like to share one final thought as we move on, move forward, and welcome the great adventure ahead…a thought that seems particularly relevant as we gather in the shadow of Diamond Head this evening.
Nobody trips over mountains. Rather, it is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find that you have crossed the mountain.
Graduates, tonight I wish to welcome you to the other side of the mountain. Thank you.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Canada Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau agreed Friday that the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade pact will bring benefits to the region.
In their telephone talks, Abe and Trudeau also agreed to reject any attempt to change the status quo by force — an apparent reference to China's maritime assertiveness in the East and South China seas.
While congratulating Trudeau on his Liberal Party's election win, Abe said that he hopes the new leader will make use of his youth to exercise strong leadership.

Coach Samuel P. Bair, a native of Pittsburgh, is entering his third year of coaching for the Panthers. In his first season at Pitt, Coach Bair helped lead the men's cross country team to a seventh-place finish in the Big East Championships and a ninth place-finish at the NCAA Regional Championships. He also helped coach the women's cross country team to a seventh-place finish at the Big East Championships and an eighth-place finish at the NCAA Regional Championships. Coach Bair was integral in coaching the men's track and field team to a second-place finish in the 1,500 meters in both Indoor and Outdoor Big East Championships. Additionally in the 1,500 meters Coach Bair assisted the team in a second-place finish in the IC4A Outdoor Championships, two NCAA regional qualifiers and a sixth-place finish at the regional championships. Coach Bair's son Sam, also placed fourth in the Outdoor Big East Championships in the 1,500 meters.
Coach Bair was previously the track and field and cross country head coach at the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC), where he was named National Junior College Cross Country Coach of the year for five consecutive years. He produced three NJCAA Championship teams in 1973, 1976 and 1977, including five top runners who qualified for All-America honors. His teams have set more than two dozen national records, some of which still stand today. Coach Bair is also the former head coach of the Allegheny-Nike Running Club Bair has accomplished much as a track athlete, as well.
Representing Kent State University, Coach Bair was a seven-time NCAA All-American, and indoor and outdoor champion in the mile. In 1968 he was a cross country All-American. That same year, Bair placed 7th at the U.S. Olympic Trials, however his qualification for the team was hampered after being placed in the hospital for several days before the final trials with an intestinal infection. In 1971 Bair earned a spot on the number one ranked U.S. cross country team, the Florida Track Club, consisting of 1972 Olympic champion marathoner Frank Shorter, Olympic team marathoner Jack Bachelor, and Olympic team 10,000-meter runner, Jeff Galloway.
Continuing his incredible success as a runner, Coach Bair signed a professional contract with the International Track Association in 1973. Bair was inducted into the Westmorland Sports Hall of Fame in 1976 and Kent State University Sports Hall of Fame the following year. In 1977 he was initiated into the Pittsburgh Dapper Dan Hall of Fame (his plaque hangs in the Mellon Arena], and in 1995 he became a member of the Western Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame.
Coach Bair graduated in 1969 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Physical Education from Kent State University. For over 30 years he has been a professor of Health and Physical Education at CCAC. Coach Bair is married to wife, Arlene, and they have a daughter, Alyson, and a son, Sam, who is a distance runner for the Panthers.

Lately I've been using Joico intense hydrator as my conditioner and Since my hair likes it I think it's because of the protein. My hair also is reacting well to SM soufflé, but only when I wash with the Joico. So, my question is does anyone know if the SM curl and shine conditioner has a lot of protein like Joico does? Also, does anyone think that using Joico intense hydrator as my daily conditioner will have adverse effects? I do clarify once a week as well. Here are the Joico ingredients:
Water (Aqua) ((aqua)), Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Glycerin, Cetyl Esters, Lanolin, Hydrolyzed Human Hair Keratin, Hydrolyzed Keratin PG Propyl Methylsilanediol, Thioctic (Alpha Lipoic) Acid, Psidium Guajava (Guava) Fruit Extract, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Aleurites Moluccana (Kukui Nut) Oil, Glycolipids, Allantoin (Comfrey Root), Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Leaf Juice, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Benzophenone 4, Amodimethicone, Ceteareth 20, Cetrimonium Chloride, Trideceth 12, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Methylparaben, DMDM Hydantoin, Tetrasodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Fragrance ((parfum))
No, it doesn't have nearly as much protein. It only has Silk Amino Acids in it.
Darn.... Ok, thanks

Reality Mom: When Not Writing is a Good Thing
I recently had dinner with three of my writer friends. We all advised one another on how to write and market our next book, but none of us were following our own advice. "It's the second book curse," I thought when I left the restaurant. "We're screwed," quickly followed.
A day or so later I shifted my perspective. Yes, none of us are as far along as we'd like (or thought we'd be, or our agent thought we'd be) on our second book, but that doesn't mean we aren't still working. One of the friends is struggling with her memoir, but just published a collection of "sensual fantasy stories." I completed a draft of my second memoir, but deemed it horrible nine months later and started over from scratch. The new version is painful to write, therefore very slow going. But in the meanwhile, I wrote a divorce guidebook and have a complete novel out for submission. The other friend has been asked to speak about her first book at conferences across the nation, has several essays completed, but has not started her second book. I questioned our various excuses, but later, reassured myself that everyone was still working and writing, we just weren't writing the book everyone thought we should be working on.
And this is the beauty and the curse of writing. It has rhythms that we can't control. When I learn to get out of the way, is when I realize I'm in flow again. Hence the memoir that is painful to write versus the divorce guidebook which flowed effortlessly and easily. I didn't set out to write a divorce guidebook, in fact I have adamantly stated that I will never write an advice column nor an advice book. Now I do both. And I enjoy writing both, which is the goal right? Does it matter what I write? For me, the answer is no. As long as I'm writing, I am happy and fulfilled. When my books feel too tedious or onerous, I write an essay and submit it to a publication. I can write an essay in a day and gain a sense of completion that is rare when writing books (and being a mother). Submitting them gives me the high of anticipation for a few days, which feeds my inner excitement/anticipation junkie.
In my ten years of writing, I have only recently learned to accept and even appreciate the days that I don't write. I used to dread these days and rolled my eyes at anyone who made excuses about why they weren't writing. I caught myself starting to do so at the restaurant the other night when my writer friend said she was taking the summer off to be a mom, find her family a house to buy, and in general stabilize her life. Mid-eyeroll, I stopped and instead thought, that's really wise of her. She has a nursing baby and preschooler. Her first book won a major literary award. She has accomplished plenty in the last couple of years and deserves a break.
Many times our writing does need us to take a break. Not only can our health be negatively affected if we are too driven, but so can our writing. In fiction, the characters need to separate themselves from us, their creator, and become themselves with their own agenda. When this happens, I know I am on a good roll. When I'm scripting them and controlling them too much, the writing is stilted and awkward.
With memoir, I call it the "and then" conundrum. When my writing reads like a story by a third grader, full of plot, no reflection, it's time to take a break. The opposite also occurs, the journal conundrum, where you guessed it, it reads like my journal. I never reread my journals because they are even too boring and navel gazing for me. I would never want to subject the public to this torture. Therefore, I must take a break and wait until I have something relevant to say.
The key is to know when I'm procrastinating and when I'm letting my work percolate and germinate. When I'm obsessively checking my email or choosing to do laundry over writing, I know I'm procrastinating. Then it's time to follow the basic rule of writing: apply butt to chair and write. And usually, once I do so, I'm glad I did and find the words flow out of me once again. If I don't, and it's too painful to write or what I'm writing is dreadful, I take a break and go for a walk. Walking and thinking about my writing is not procrastinating, it's organizing and planning. Walking and stopping to talk to everyone I see and then finding myself at Scoops eating ice cream is procrastinating.
If I'm going to procrastinate, that's all right, but I admit that's what I'm doing and set a time limit. Today was the first warm day we've had in far too long, causing me to be very distracted and unmotivated. I just spent two hours sitting outside rather than on the computer. For the first hour, I felt guilty about my client's work I wasn't editing, the column I wasn't writing, and the talk I wasn't prepared to give on Thursday at the Ballard library. Eventually those thoughts turned away from guilt and towards planning, organizing and constructing all of this work in my head. I told myself I could have two hours outside and then I'd get back to work. Taking the break not only refreshed me, it reminded me to be grateful that I could do so. As a self-employed writer, I don't have a steady pay check, paid medical benefits or a matching 401K, but I can sit in the sun when I want. It doesn't necessarily pay the mortgage, but it is a benefit and I appreciate it. Lucky (or unlucky) for me, sunny days are a rarity around here so aren't really a threat to my productivity.
Getting to know your writing rhythms will help you utilize your productive times to write and accept your musing time. It will also keep your breaks as breaks, and not let them turn into the dreaded writer's block. And being honest with yourself will allow you to enjoy that catnap in the sun or cupcake and chat at Cupcake Royale rather than feeling guilty about the time you wasted. Even Stephen King takes breaks at times (not to mention, had a nasty drug addiction, so really we need to stop using him as a benchmark). Enjoy your walk and cupcake (but please, keep your addiction to sugar) and when you return from them, apply your butt to the chair and write.

College of Nursing Faculty Member and Postdoctoral Fellow Receive SHRF Postdoctoral Fellowship Award
September 17, 2013
The Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program advances the research career of an award holder and enhances the research productivity of a supervising university faculty member from Saskatchewan. It provides financial support to high-quality candidates for a period of postdoctoral research in a health-related field under the supervision of an experienced and active researcher. Congratulations to College of Nursing Faculty member Dr. Louise Racine and Postdoctoral fellow Dr. Yixi Lu, the recent recipients of this award for their project titled Between Chinese Traditional Medicine and Western Medicine: A Negotiated Medical Decision Making Process among Mainland Chinese Immigrants in Saskatchewan.
The Chinese have become the largest foreign-born visible minority in Canada and in Saskatchewan, the arrival of Chinese people from mainland China has increased significantly. In order to provide culturally competent care to Chinese immigrants, Saskatchewan healthcare providers must understand their unique healthcare experiences and practices, in particular the widespread use of Chinese traditional medicine and the social and cultural barriers which affect communication with nurses, physicians and other health care professionals. Although these issues have been researched previously, the choice of treatment (traditional vs. biomedical) and the interaction with their illness management and communication with healthcare providers has not been explored. This project aims to explain the decision making processes that mainland Chinese immigrants use when selecting traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine for therapy selection and illness management.
Dr. Yixi Lu is honoured to have received this award. "It is with great pleasure and excitement that I receive the SHRF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. It provides me the opportunity to embark on the first major project of my career as a researcher and also allows me to carry out research on a topic which interests me greatly. My special interest in Chinese immigrants' health and healthcare issues was inspired through working with Dr. Louise Racine. I've really appreciated working with her for all these years and I believe her expertise in health and healthcare issues concerning non-Western immigrants will continue to be of benefit to me in conducting this SHRF Postdoctoral research project. I would like to extend my appreciation to the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation for their funding and support for my project. I believe that being an SHRF Post-doctoral Research Fellowship holder will bring wonderful and precious experiences to the journey of my academic and professional development."
When the study is complete, the results will help define the professional boundaries between western and Chinese traditional medicine. The results will also further inform Western health providers about traditional Chinese medicine and related alternative healing practices. As well, the findings will impact the management of chronic diseases and cancer among a minority cultural group and help health professionals design relevant health promotion programs and offer culturally responsive care.
"Dr. Lu`s project addresses an important gap in knowledge associated with new immigration," said Dr. Louise Racine, the supervising Faculty member for this study. "The migration of Chinese immigrants from mainland China may indicate different health care needs than those expressed by Chinese immigrants from previous waves of immigration. Results are likely to inform the delivery of culturally competent health services to Chinese immigrants in Saskatchewan and beyond. In addition, findings will contribute to the well-being of Chinese immigrants and will inform nurses and health care professionals about the specific health needs of this population."
From the College of Nursing, congratulations once again Dr. Racine and Dr. Lu on this great research project!

In other words I can wiggle the extractor rod slightly forward before I push it back to extract my spent shells. Is this normal? If not, what's the fix? Thanks much to anyone who can answer this for me.

History, as presented on TV, usually isn't.
Since you are knowledgeable on the subject of guns, you caught a series of incorrect statements and knew them to be untrue.
Now think about all of the programs you've watched that told you about stuff you didn't already know something about. Those programs were also filled with errors, but you couldn't catch them.
The only way to really learn something is to read, or listen to, or watch, at least two competing authorities, and then to compare and contrast the things they wrote or said, looking for inconsistencies.
When you have settled the inconsistencies to your own satisfaction, then you really have learned something.

Championship: Lee Clark does not expect to bolster Birmingham in January
Birmingham manager Lee Clark does not expect to be able to bolster his squad during the January transfer window.
Last Updated: 13/12/13 5:58pm
Clark has been forced to operate on the tightest of budgets since taking over in the summer of 2012 due to the Championship club's ongoing financial struggles.
Prized assets such as Jack Butland, Curtis Davies and Nathan Redmond have all been offloaded to raise much-needed funds, while the vast majority of incomings have been free transfers or loan additions.
And the only way Clark anticipates any new faces arriving at St Andrew's in January is if he can first free up funds within his squad by the way of departures.
"There'll be nothing happening," Clark said. "It'll be very similar to last January in terms of people having to be moved out before any players are brought in. That's the situation now.
"It doesn't matter if it changes because of injuries of suspensions because that's the position we're in financially. I fully understand it, I'm fully aware of it.
"So unless players can be moved on to bring other players in, we'll have to stick with what we've got."
Asked if the same applies to potential loan deals, Clark replied: "The remit whether they come in on loan, permanently or on short-term contracts is that players have to go out before any of those scenarios happen."
Birmingham are currently without a host of players due to injury heading into the hectic festive period, including Mitch Hancox, Lee Novak, David Murphy, Matt Green, Neal Eardley, Jonathan Spector and Akwasi Asante.
City lie 19th in the Championship ahead of Saturday's trip to Bournemouth.

Released about 18 months ago, Exchange Online provides a natural transition for large companies that already use on-premises Exchange, because many of the admin screens look exactly the same.
For Pitney Bowes Inc., a Stamford, Conn.-based company that makes postal scales and related equipment, the move to an e-mail server in the cloud was a leap of faith, especially since it was using a competing product in-house.
"We asked the question: Can we live with very critical business data living in the cloud?" says Donna L. Dietz, vice president of technology planning at Pitney Bowes. She declined to name the product the company had been using before its move to Exchange Online.
"We went through a thorough process, even involving Legal," she says. At the end of that process, she explains, the company figured that "Microsoft is 10 times our size" and can manage e-mail more effectively than Pitney Bowes could in-house. The goal, she explains, was to no longer have to deal with constant patches and other maintenance headaches, leaving those issues to the product's creator instead.
Dietz went on to explain that the e-mail server is now housed in a Microsoft data center that is approved by the U.S. Department of Defense and meets service level agreements for e-mail.
Pitney Bowes had a few minor challenges in moving to a cloud-based e-mail service. One had to do with device support and Microsoft's ability to support different types of smartphones, for instance.
This story, "Pitney Bowes' journey to Exchange Online" was originally published by Computerworld.

A Scientific Basis For Evaluating Variable Crosswinds
The remaining task is to calculate the drift for the Wind Late scenario. From the previous discussion, we know that drift from the first wind segment is zero because the wind velocity is zero for the first 500 yards of flight. The drift from 500-1000 yards, and therefore the total drift, can be calculated by:
Now that our calculations are complete, what conclusions can be drawn? First, as it relates to drift experienced at the target, its apparent that bullets are much more sensitive to wind near the muzzle than they are to the same wind near the target. Actually, for this particular set of circumstances, the early wind caused approximately twice the drift of an equivalent late wind. Second, when the drift seen in the Wind Early scenario is added to that observed in the Wind Late scenario, the result (68.73 inches) corresponds exactly to the independent calculation we performed for a constant 10-mph crosswind acting over the entire 1,000-yard range. Since the net effect of combining the Wind Early and Wind Late cases results in a constant 10-mph crosswind across the full 1,000-yard range, logic dictates that total bullet drift be the same also.
The key finding is that approximately two-thirds (45.85/68.73) of the total drift seen at 1,000 yards for a constant 10-mph crosswind is attributable to the first 500 yards of bullet flight, while only about one-third is caused by the second half of flight. This has practical implications for the long-range shooter. Most of us carry a data card or some other means of referencing important ballistic data, so we can make corrections for range, shooting angle and wind. Usually, drift data for a constant 10-mph crosswind is referenced. When faced with a variable wind the aforementioned information can help us make the proper adjustment.
As an example, consider the following hypothetical situation: While hunting mule deer you glass a nice buck, which you subsequently range at 800 yards. For a shot of this length in the presence of a constant 10-mph crosswind, your data card predicts 41 inches of drift. As you evaluate the wind, however, youre confident youre dealing with a 10-mph crosswind at your shooting position but youre just as sure theres little wind near the target. If you feel the wind is steady until about halfway to the buck (400 yards), then you can be comfortable correcting for two-thirds of the drift listed on the data card, which amounts to 27 inches (41 x ⅔ = 27.33). If you determine that the wind is a factor for only the first 300 yards, using 50% of the listed drift (20.5 inches) would be a good approximation; if you feel the wind maintains its gusto to the 500-yard mark, then correcting for 75% of the 800-yard drift (31 inches) might be appropriate.
This presentation provides a true scientific rationale for correcting for bullet drift in variable crosswinds. Ive demonstrated the relevant mathematical formulas and calculations as a means of proving the validity of my statements. However, an appreciation of the practical effects of wind on a bullet is much more important than being able to manipulate formulas. Towards that end, the only thing that needs to be remembered is the ⅔-⅓ rule. That is: in the presence of a constant crosswind, approximately two-thirds of the drift seen at the target is caused during the first half of bullet flight, while the remaining one-third of the total drift results from the second half of the bullets journey.
Armed with this information, the long-range practitioner can make more accurate corrections in shooting situations where variable crosswinds are present. Version 6 of the Sierra Infinity ballistic software has the ability to calculate total bullet drift for scenarios consisting of a maximum of five separate wind segments. This capability can be used to sharpen ones wind-compensation skills. Hypothetical wind problems, featuring wind segments of varying lengths, wind speeds and directions, can be evaluated using ones data card, common sense and the information discussed here. Once a prediction of total bullet drift at the target has been estimated, it can be compared to the precise formulation produced by the software program. Over time, these exercises will pay dividends when a shot really counts.

Liked the demo but…

Thanks for the quick replies guys
Alrik, I thought that DKS has been around for well over 6 months now? Normally "new" PC games sell for about £25 (thats what I paid for Witcher 2 on day 1) then in about 3/4 months time, prices drops to about £10 - £15 range here in UK. That's what I meant "expensive for an old game".
Dhruin, yes Steam is selling it for £20 and that's with 33% discount, so I doubt if they will reduce it even further. I am going to wait for couple of days to see if they drop the price or someone here know where I can get it for cheaper and they will buy it.
Gorath, I don't mind paying £20 for good game but I have spent lot of money on games recently so trying to save a bit
I got the demo last week from the developer website. It even has button for the expansion but when you click on it you see an ad for it. So you reckon even this demo is outdated?

- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
- 8 garlic cloves, halved
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 stalks of fresh lemongrass, lower third only, chopped
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Twelve 6-ounce boneless pork chops
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 stalks of fresh lemongrass, lower third only, minced
- One 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup Asian fish sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 12 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup roasted unsalted peanuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped chives
- 1/2 cup finely shredded beef jerky (1 ounce)
In a mini food processor, combine the cilantro, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, lemongrass, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the oil and process to a paste. Put the pork chops in a large, shallow dish and coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring to a simmer over moderate heat to dissolve the sugar. Simmer, without stirring, until an amber caramel forms, about 8 minutes. Add the lemongrass and ginger and slowly pour in the vinegar and fish sauce, stirring, until the sauce is clear. Add the pepper and remove from the heat.
Heat the 1/4 cup of oil in a small skillet. Add the garlic and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 4 minutes. Transfer the garlic and oil to a small bowl.
Preheat the oven to 400°. In each of 2 large skillets, heat 2 tablespoons of oil until shimmering. Scrape some of the marinade off the pork chops. Add 6 chops to each skillet and cook over high heat until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake the chops for 10 minutes, or until barely pink in the center. Transfer the chops to a large platter and spoon the caramel sauce on top. Drain the fried garlic and scatter it over the chops, along with the peanuts and chives. Garnish with the jerky and serve at once.

Internal Affairs Cop Involved In Violent Motorcyclist Ride Identified
(Ben Yakas) An NYPD officer who works in the Internal Affairs Bureau has now come forward and admitted he was riding with the mob of illegal motorcyclists that chased and beat a terrified SUV driver last month. According to DNAInfo, 28-year-old Matthew Rodriguez is a five-year veteran assigned to the IAB's command center; he didn't admit to being part of the ride until a few days ago.
It's unclear how involved he was in the violence against SUV driver Alexian Lien on September 29th, but Rodriguez has been removed from the IAB division pending the investigation. Even if he wasn't as involved in the beating as Detective Wojciech Braszczok allegedly was, he could still face disciplinary charges for failing to come forward sooner, or potentially a criminal charge for failing to intervene in the attack.
DNAInfo adds that on his Twitter feed, Rodriguez wrote about "his love of the NYPD and his alcohol with a background image of a man and woman copulating on the back of a motorcycle under the headline 'No Free Rides! Gas or A--!'"

Lucas: Blue-White Is Back
Friday night's Late Night with Roy Williams festivities will include dancing. There will be funny skits--some, filmed this week, even took certain members of the basketball staff by surprise.
But for the first time in what seems like a generation, there will also be something else: the return of the Blue-White scrimmage, a legitimate chance to see the 2013-14 Tar Heels in a game situation.
The Blue-White game is a Carolina basketball relic, one that's been absent from the UNC schedule for most of the Roy Williams era. The game was held in his first season back in Chapel Hill, but subsequently disappeared for a variety of scheduling reasons; being allowed two exhibition games made it fairly inconsequential.
That means it's been nearly ten years since Tar Heel fans have had the privilege of drawing irrational, season-long conclusions based on one intrasquad scrimmage. Trust me: it's glorious.
One of the best days of the year in Chapel Hill used to be the fall Saturday when the Blue-White game would be stacked on top of a home football game. You'd go watch the Tar Heels at Kenan Stadium (this was before every game started at 12:30), and then you'd walk up the hill--in those days, we had to walk uphill both ways--to the Smith Center for the Blue-White hoops game.
There was a full band. The cheerleaders were there. The team ran out of the tunnel and you quickly tried to assess whether the Blue or White squad was stronger, and you were almost always wrong. Sure, it was nothing but a scrimmage, but we didn't care, because it was all the Carolina basketball we had, and it had been seven months since the last time we had seen a Tar Heel game. It didn't matter that we were in a world with only one ESPN network, no email and no cell phones. We had the Blue-White game.
Here's what was crazy: when you settled into your Smith Center seat, you had very little idea about the team preparing to take the floor. The usher handed you a roster, and you actually examined it closely, because you hadn't followed the players on Twitter all summer, you hadn't seen them at the Pro-Am, and you hadn't seen any preseason practice videos.
This is going to sound like it's singing the virtues of AM radio, but it's actually true: on most occasions, the Blue-White game was the first time you had ever seen the Carolina basketball freshmen play. Wait until Bill Guthridge starts working with this guy Zwikker. Rasheed is bigger than I expected. Is this Fox kid from the Bahamas or Canada or what?
Most of us knew who Vince Carter was prior to the 1995-96 season. But it was at the Blue-White game where it started to look like his freshman teammate, this kid from Charlotte who spelled his name funny--Antawn or Antwan or something like that--might have a little bit of talent.
And then there were the unforgettable moments like the 1998-99 Blue-White game, when reserve guard Terrence Newby dropped 30 points. You have to understand that this was coming off a heartbreaking 1998 loss to Utah (must be said while shaking fist and shouting at heavens) in the Final Four, plus the loss of Shammond Williams, Vince Carter and Ademola Okulaja from that '98 team.
In other words, Tar Heel fans needed a little good news. And here was Newby, a junior, scoring 30 and earning a permanent place on the all-Blue-White team (co-captain: Orlando Melendez).
You might remember walking out of the Smith Center that day feeling certain that Carolina had found some unexpected firepower. You might also remember that Newby scored a grand total of 33 points during the entire 1998-99 season.
So don't be overly quick to draw any conclusions from Friday night's action. But this year's Tar Heels are excited about the opportunity to break out of the practice routine and have an extended scrimmage in front of a Late Night audience.
"It's going to be more fun to play in front of a crowd," says J.P. Tokoto. "It will give the freshman an idea of what it's going to be like with people in the stands. Late Night was helpful to me last year, because the first game wasn't as much of a surprise."
Doors open at 4 p.m. for Late Night. The volleyball game against Maryland begins at 5 p.m., with Late Night scheduled for 7 p.m.
Adam Lucas is a GoHeels columnist and the editor of CAROLINA.

In accordance with the Rules and Procedures of the 2005–2010 Council of Experts, the Monograph Development—Psychiatrics and Psychoactives Expert Committee has approved the Levetiracetam Monograph to move from a Pending Standard to official USP–NF status because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the monograph sponsor's Abbreviated New Drug application. Based on the comments received the Monograph Development—Psychiatrics and Psychoactives Expert Committee (MDPP) has revised the Levetiracetam monograph in order to reflect approved manufacturers as follows:
- Identification Test B: Changed from retention time agreement using the Assay solutions to using the Limit of Levetiracetam R-Enantiomer test
- Limit of D-levetiracetam: This test is renamed as the Limit of Levetiracetam R-Enantiomer and the limit is increased from 0.5% to 0.8% .
- Limit of Levetiracetam Related compound B: A note is added to reflect this is an optional test. An error in the formula has been corrected.
- Related compounds: The table is revised to include pyrdin-2-ol, which is a process impurity in some of the approved products. Appropriate footnotes have been added to the impurities table.
The Levetiracetam Revision Bulletin supersedes the Authorized Pending Monograph that was published on the USP Pending Monographs web page. The Revision Bulletin text will be incorporated into the First Supplement to the USP 33–NF 28 Reissue.

An Interview with Christine Taupiac, Executive MBA 2005/2006
Reims Management School Alumni
"The international aspect in Reims, is a key point"
After 15 years of experience, mainly in marketing functions, I wanted to advance in my professional career and be involved in strategic decisions.
I thus decided to join the EMBA program in Reims to update and enlarge my knowledge. The EMBA was an opportunity for me to think about my professional future in the 15 years to come, whether to create my own business, look for a new job.
As for the content of the course, which is very rich, one must emphasize that the international dimension of the Reims EMBA program is a key point: professors come from various countries, courses are in English, and the 3 study tours to Madrid, New-York and Beijing with local teachers and interviewers give us a real international view.
Thus, during my EMBA, I joined a large English company, that offered me the opportunity to develop one of their branches on the international market as Marketing Manager. So, I am now an active part of an exciting development project.
An interview with Youssef HASSOUN, International MBA 2005/2006

Arsenal recorded their second 3-3 away draw in the league in a row on Sunday after squandering a two-goal first-half lead.
Winger Rachel Yankey gave the visitors the lead after 12 minutes at Marine's Rossett Park ground in front of 1,500 spectators. England star Kelly Smith made it 2-0 shortly before the break.
But Everton started the second period superbly and restored parity within four minutes. Toffees defender Rachel Unitt halved the deficit before midfielder Fara Williams got the second.
Arsenal regained the lead after 58 minutes when Smith - who notched a hat-trick for England in midweek - got her second of the game and her 10th in five league games.
But Everton refused to lie down and nine minutes from time the hosts rescued a point through striker Jody Handley.

- Click on over to my blog sometime if you read in a reader... I have a new design.
- The new cat food gives Tucker gas. The other day he was in my lap, and all of a sudden there was a really awful smell. I am hoping that maybe once he's adjusted to the new food that will no longer happen.
- I so slept in today.. and this is something I did a lot of over the break, but this morning I was still curled up in bed listening to the rain outside and I thought,"Well, the only good thing about not running right now is that I didn't have to drag myself out of bed at 7 to go run in this cold, wet mess." There's always a bright side, right?
- Instead, I'm going to keep plugging away at the scrapbook. I"m going to try to take some pictures of what I've done soon and share.

We're BDA – Bill Dunbar and Associates, LLC. Since 1988 we have helped healthcare providers to improve their clinical documentation and compliance capabilities.
Our focus emphasizes medical documentation, coding, and reimbursement. We're proud of our track record of success in improving the overall reimbursement process for our clients, who see an average increase in net revenue per patient visit of between 12 and 20 percent.
Enhanced documentation, coding, and billing processes, in turn, can result in improved compliance. We work closely with clients to eliminate the exposures and errors that can harm their practices.
Our vision is based upon becoming the most trusted company in our field. With every project and engagement we pledge to consistently:
- We customize. Our tools and solutions are tailored to your needs, based on what you tell us. We understand that you want to leverage your existing resources. We work with you to optimize what already works and improve upon what doesn't.
- We simplify. Your world is complex enough already. We help you break down this complexity so you and your staff can adopt successful, consistent, and compliant processes and practices that assures accurate risk acuity is captured for all patients.
- We stay current. We have helped thousands of professionals to thrive in fast-changing healthcare business environments. Whether you're upgrading to ICD-10 coding or switching to an entirely new business model, we've got the resources to support you. As we move to value based reimbursement, the BDA model is designed to navigate you through the gap between fee-for-service reimbursement and risk-based reimbursement.
- We educate. We simultaneously train at every level of your organization, using a vertical model that reduces communication breakdowns among departments. And we don't just stand in the front of the room with a cookie-cutter presentation. We listen and we explain until you and your staff are comfortable in your understanding.
- We streamline processes by introducing best practices that will improve your documentation to support risk acuity and grow compliance.
Ultimately, our success will be defined by the satisfied clients who use us year after year.
