U.S. Gov Official: Current Generation of Policymakers Lack Understanding of Technology

Rose Gottemoeller said the next generation will change how cyber defense is handled
A U.S. government official said that
cyber defense
has been slow-moving due to the current generation of policymaker's lack of technological understanding.
Rose Gottemoeller, U.S. Acting Undersecretary for Arms Control and International Security, recently visited the Estonian IT College in Tallinn to deliver a speech about
cyber attacks
and defense. In this lecture, she noted that a major issue with current cyber defense is the fact that many policymakers around the world don't fully understand technology used today.
"The truth is there are a lot of senior officials in many countries who barely even know how to use an email," said Gottemoeller. "The change will come with the new generation."
Gottemoeller also mentioned that open-source IT and social networking should be integrated into arms control verification.
"In order to pursue the goal of a world free from nuclear weapons, we are going to have to think bigger and bolder," said Gottemoeller. "New concepts are not invented overnight, and we don't understand the full range of possibilities inherent in the information age, but we would be remiss if we did not start thinking about whether new technologies can augment over half a century of arms control negotiating expertise."
Cyber defense has been placed under the spotlight now more than ever with threats recently directed toward both government and corporate entities. Last year, a string of attacks pinpointed many victims like
, Bank of America, the Department of Justice,
Lockheed Martin
, and many more.
Many U.S. officials have called for more
cyber defense transparency
in the recent past between the government and private sector, where one could help the other and vice versa. For instance, both former
CIA/NSA head Michael Hayden
ex-Marine Corps General James Cartwright
agreed that cyber security threats are overclassified.

Yes You Can!
Make your own
Teacup Pincushion
Although I've been a designer and seamstress for many years, I had never thought of pincushions in any way other than purely practical. I have used them throughout my years of sewing, but they were just always there as part of my sewing room supplies, just like my scissors, iron, and tape measure. Well, I recently discovered some beautiful pincushions and I was so inspired that I decided I'd make some of my own. So, the first thing I saw when I was contemplating my new adventure was a couple of vintage teacups that I had picked up at the local thrift store. And since they had no sentimental attachment for me, I thought I'd try making them into little pincushions with a bit of bling, glitz, and glam. And now I'm hooked!
Who would have thought that a pincushion could be a collector's item or decorative or an item to display in my sewing studio? Well, now I know . . . . . and these pincushions are so much fun to make. Quick and easy, they are perfect for a gift for mom or grandma, or for yourself as a special treat for all that you've accomplished in life. So, if you have a teacup and saucer around your house (probably not Grandma's antique china, though!) – or if you stop by your neighborhood thrift shop or antique shop, pick up two or three sets – let's get started on your very own teacup pincushion!
Basic Supplies
Vintage teacup and saucer
Fabric scraps
Ribbons scraps
Buttons, beads, lace, charms
Tacky Glue or Hot Glue Gun
Needle and Thread
Stick pins and various beads
STEP 1: Gather your supplies
Begin by choosing your fabric, ribbons, and trims. Make sure you have a variety of coordinating notions to choose from. Gather your supplies so you can begin creating your little masterpiece!
STEP 2: Cut out your fabric
Place your teacup upside down on your fabric. Measure out 1 ½" – 2" from the outside edge, using a water soluble fabric / quilt marker. Mark all around the outside edge, to make a circle that is a total of 3" – 4" larger in diameter than your cup.
Cut out your circle of fabric. This will be the main pincushion, and you will want it to be to correct size to fit inside of the teacup.
STEP 3: Stitch the gathering stitches on the circle of fabric
Set your sewing machine for the longest straight stitch possible. On my machine that is a setting of 5.00 on a scale of 0 – 5.00. If you prefer, you can hand gather all around the outside edge of the circle by taking ¼" stitches around the circle, approximately ¼" in from the edge.
Stitch the long running stitch all around the outside edge of the circle of fabric, approximately ¼" in from the edge. For greater strength when closing up the circle for the top of the pincushion, I always run another long straight stitch all around the outside of the circle of fabric, approximately 3/8" in from the edge so that I have two rows of gathering stitches. That way, if one row of stitching breaks, I still have another row of gathering stitches to work with. This really does save time later on!
STEP 4: Gather and stuff the circle of fabric
Now you will want to begin pulling the gathering stitches up on the circle of fabric to make a little "pouch" to put the stuffing into. I begin by gathering it up just enough to hold the stuffing, and then I put as much stuffing into it as I can before I pull the gathering stitches up tight.
Keep putting as much stuffing as you can possibly get into the little "pouch," and then GENTLY pull the gathering threads up as tightly as you can.
Keep stuffing . . . . and stuffing . . . . down into the little empty places around the edges . . . .
Then begin to pull up the gathering threads, and you will still need to stuff even more polyfill into the pincushion top. The more stuffing you can get in, the firmer the pincushion top will be. This will make it prettier, but also easier to use.
When I do my gathering, I usually pull up one side of the gathering stitch so that I have one side gathered. Then I tie the threads on that end to keep it from "un-gathering" when I pull up the other side. Pull it first from one side to the middle, and then the other side. This minimizes the possibility of breaking a thread and having to start all over!
When you have pulled your gathering stitches up as much as possible, tie the thread ends together to hold it in place. Again, be very careful with your threads, so as not to break one of the gathering stitches. Pull it up as tightly as you can, and you should still have an opening of approximately 1" – 2" that you will close up later.
Now you stuff even more polyfill into the pincushion top. Keep stuffing, down into those little corners where the gathers are!
As long as there is room for even one more little "stuff," go ahead and shove it in there!
STEP 5: Closing the stuffing opening
Now you will need to cut a circle that is approximately 2" – 2 ½" around from your fabric. This will be used to cover the opening in the bottom of your pincushion top.
Pin it in place, covering the opening and the gathering stitches, and hand stitch in place using an appliqué stitch. The hand appliqué stitch is taken by coming up with your needle and thread from the bottom, through the piece you are stitching on (in this case the small circle). Then go STRAIGHT down again, over the edge of the circle, into the fabric to which you are attaching the circle. Go under that fabric for approximately ¼" and come up again, catching the edge of the small circle, and go down over the edge of the small circle into the pincushion top. Continue this stitch all around the small circle to enclose the opening in the bottom of the pincushion top.
STEP 6: Gluing the pincushion top into the teacup
For this step, you can either use Tacky Glue or a hot glue gun. With the Tacky Glue you will need to wait a few minutes to continue the project and add embellishments. With a hot glue gun, you will be able to continue right away but two words of caution:
Be VERY careful not to burn yourself!
You will need to place the pincushion top into the teacup, accurately, very quickly as the hot glue dries almost instantaneously. If you have any concerns about getting the top placed exactly where you want it on the first try, you might want to start with Tacky Glue as it allows you to remove and replace the pincushion top if you don't get it right the first time.
Place a line of glue all around the inside of the teacup, approximately ¼" from the top edge. Be sure to use enough glue that the top of the pincushion will attach securely. Carefully place the completed pincushion top into the teacup, adjusting it so that if completely fills the teacup and is centered and even. You might need to "squish" the pincushion top either flatter or puffier, depending on the top of your teacup. Just be sure that it isn't lopsided or lumpy on one side!
STEP 7: Embellishing your pincushion
As soon as the pincushion top is securely attached to the teacup, it is time to begin the fun part of embellishment! It might seem that it would be easier to embellish it before you put it into the teacup, but I discovered that if I tried to put on all the embellishments first, it didn't always line up the way I wanted it to with the edge of the cup. It really isn't too difficult to stitch on a few ribbons, buttons, and beads once it is inserted into the teacup.
Of course, you can embellish your pincushion any way you want, but here are a few ideas to get you started: I took a sheer ribbon and wrapped it around my fingers a few times to make a bow. Then I took three or four stitches right in the middle to hold it, and pulled the loops apart to make kind of a ribbon flower. When I pulled the loops apart, I also twisted them to make it a bit fuller.
Then I took some sage green grosgrain ribbon, about 1" wide, and cut a piece approximately 3" long. Loop both ends forward to meet in the middle, making a point at the folded end. Make two or three of these ribbon "leaves," and press them flat.
Hand stitch the leaves on first, and then stitch on a couple of curled ribbon "tendrils" to hang down from beneath your ribbon flower.
Then stitch the ribbon flower on top of the leaves and curled "tendrils," making sure that the leaves just peek out from the edges of the "petals" of the ribbon flower.
If you want to add a button center on your ribbon flower, snip off the shank on the button and glue it right in the middle of the flower.
Then add any other embellishments that you want! I added a little butterfly button right on one of the leaves.
Then I added three round pink crystal buttons to make some little "buds" by the leaves.
And then I stitched on one wrapped pink bead, just for fun! Glue the teacup pincushion to the saucer, and add a few buttons or small spools of thread . . . . or even a tiny pair of embroidery scissors, all around the base of the teacup.
If you want to make a few pretty stick pins to go with your pincushion, just take some pins that already have a large bead on top. Then use your hot glue gun to add a few more beads either on the top of the bead on the straight pin, or add them underneath the bead that is on the top . . . . . or both! You can also purchase fancy stick pins, but I always like to make my own. They look really pretty stuck into your teacup pincushion!
And there you have your very own teacup pincushion! What a fun gift for Mom or Grandma for Christmas, Mother's Day, or a birthday . . . . . or just a gift to say, "I love you!" Have fun with YOUR very own teacup pincushion. And when you get it finished, please email me a picture of your masterpiece at email@example.com
Hope to hear from you soon! Nina of mamas*little*treasures
Here's my "Ivory and Jade" Teacup Pincushion . . . what fun this one was with all the pearls, rhinestones, and gold accents in this sweet cup and saucer of a floral and paisley print, all in shades of light and dark green with just a touch of gold.

Music @ Mechanics' - A Mid-Winter Concert Series
Mechanics' Institute Library & Chess Room
Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 7:30 PM (PST)
Event Details
This innovative world music/jazz duo features original works performed by two of the most gifted contemporary instrumentalists. Italian guitar master Antonio Calogero, hailed by the Los Angeles Times as an "evocative sound painter" teams up with Grammy Winner Paul McCandless, renowned multi-instrumentalist and composer from the legendary group Oregon and the original Paul Winter Consort. This exceptional duo performs music that embodies the excitement of jazz improvisation, classical lyricism, and the spirit of the Mediterranean and beyond. A perfect way to warm up a Winter night! Don't miss it!
Paul McCandless, a pioneer of modern instrumental music, has brought a soaring lyricism to playing and composing that has been integral to the sound of two seminal world music bands; the original Paul Winter Consort, and the relentlessly innovative quartet, Oregon. A gifted multi-instrumentalist, McCandless specializes in an unusually broad palette of both single and double reed instruments, performing and composing in a style that reflects his grounding in both classical and jazz disciplines. His array of woodwinds includes oboe and English horn, bass clarinet, soprano and sopranino saxophones, penny whistles, various ethnic flutes, and the electronic wind controller. He has also worked as a solo artist, and is credited with more than 150 albums and performances with such musicians as Jaco Pastorius, Carla Bley, Art Lande, Eberhard Weber, as well as with Wynton Marsalis, Pat Metheny, Steve Reich, Al Jarreau, Bela Fleck and Andy Summers.
Italy's Antonio Calogero is a bright light in the new generation of acoustic guitarist/composers. Drawing on folk, jazz, classical and world music influences, his passionate original style combines highly articulate melodies with unique chord changes. Although he composes for both nylon and steel-string guitar, Antonio's rigorous classical guitar training imbues his performances with insight and precision. After performing for 15 years in Europe, he has been winning recognition and praise in the US since 1995 as a solo artist, regularly featured guitarist on the International Guitar Night tours and leader of the Antonio Calogero Ensemble featuring Grammy Nominee Paul McCandless (multi-instrumentalist and composer from the legendary group Oregon), fretless bassist extraordinaire Michael Manring and the eclectic percussionist Brian Rice. Antonio has two solo guitar cds to his credit (Caleidoscopio on DDD records and La Rosa del Deserto on Acoustic Music Records), and his new recording for guitar & ensemble Danza Multietnica, co-produced by Alex de Grassi, was released on Suono Records in June 2009.

Grossman seeks to elevate Mass. vets officeAP , Associated Press
Nov. 11, 2013 5:15 PM ET
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Treasurer and Democratic candidate for governor Steven Grossman says he would push to give full cabinet level status to the state's top veterans official.
Grossman offered the proposal prior to attending a Veterans Day ceremony at the Statehouse.
The agency that serves veterans currently has sub-cabinet level status. Secretary of Veterans' Services Coleman Nee reports to the state secretary of health and human services, who in turn reports to the governor.
Under Grossman's plan, the veterans' secretary would report directly to the governor.
Gov. Deval Patrick was non-committal about granting cabinet-level status to the office, saying results were more important than procedure. He said during the ceremony that Massachusetts leads the nation in providing benefits and services to its veterans.

"Great quality, perfect colors. fast shipping. We used these as labels for the top of a small mason jar for wedding favors. Perfect fit."
"These labels are great to use instead of birthday cards. When our kids go to a party, we place this label on the gift and write in the birthday boy or girls name. The parents appreciate it because they don't have to deal with a card they're only going to throw away. And you will save a ton of money on birthday cards!"
"I purchased these labels for packaging to use for my business. I loved the design so much I have since purchased the rest of the matching items to go along with my stickers. Beautiful work from Petite Alma!!"
"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"
"This was a perfect sticker to attach to card stock to create a label for a Bridal Shower. The top line read, "Life is Sweet". Below it we put in the couple's first names followed by the date of the wedding. Then we punched a hole in the upper right corner and with ribbon attached the label to jars of local honey. It was fitting since we hired a local baker to demonstrate cupcake decoration and served filled and decorated gourmet cupcakes at the Bridal Shower. Working with Tiny Prints was a joy. Our guests raved about the design and use of the label. It could be used for birthday parties, anniversary celebrations and other important events where sweet rule!"

Charming B&B Adjacent to Smoky Mountain NPPosted Aug 4, 2015
Pros: Charm, comfort - like a very nice home. Service - polite, attentive at check-in and -out, dining, and maintaining room. Location
Cons: Nothing. Some might find the standard room small but it was comfortable and nicer than a chain hotel room. Premium rooms are available & much larger.
Location: Great location - quiet, no traffic noise. Very close to art & crafts shops. Not in the mess of Gatlinburg. Great access to national park.
We stayed at Buckhorn for 3 nights in July and used it as a base for exploring and hiking in the park. We were extremely pleased with the Inn. Our room had a great view of the grounds (26 acres) and the mountains in the distance; see photo. The room was beautifully furnished and decorated as was the entire Inn. Guests were served breakfast in a large, comfortable dining room with great views of the outdoors and the breakfast was excellent - good, strong coffee, fresh fruit, choice of entrees ranging from meat and eggs to yogurt with fruit. Service could not have been better. Breakfast was included in room rate but evening meals required a reservation and were an additional, but reasonable charge. Coffee was always available; soft drinks, coffee and treats were available in the afternoon in a common room and wine was served in the early evening. The common rooms were well furnished and comfortable. A nice collection of books and other information on the national park and surrounding attractions were available for guest use.

Awesome place to stay.Posted Jul 25, 2015
Pros: See above comments
Cons: Nothing. It was perfect as is.
Location: Location was perfect snuggled away in the heart of the mountain. It was a little away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Gatlinburg.
What a fabulous stay we had. From the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the exquisite breakfast and dinner to the breathtaking view of the Smokie Mountains, this was wonderful.

Perfect place to refresh your spiritPosted Jun 6, 2015
Pros: Attention to detail. We were treated as family and every person there was authentic and caring.
Cons: Nothing
Location: Arts and crafts, hiking trails, etc.
I booked this B&B as a surprise to my husband. I wanted to do something special for our 31st wedding anniversary. My husband came close to dying last year and it reminded me how precious our time together really is. We were able to spend quality time together in a perfect little piece of heaven. Everything at the Buckhorn Inn was exceptional. I have booked a return visit for October.

Quiet Away from Downtown GatlinburgPosted Jul 22, 2014 on Hotels
Our stay was enjoyable. Not exactly what we expected but people working there were very friendly and accommodating. Room was clean and breakfast was great even though we missed one day as we overslept. Only complaint I would have is the water pressure is not that great as building is old, as expected. Very quiet surroundings . Wish we got to see more of grounds that are advertised but it rained the whole time we were there and we did not get to see anything around the property except the actual inn.

Wonderful ExperiencePosted May 20, 2014 on Hotels
I can't say enough good things about our stay at The Buckhorn Inn. Every member of staff was warm and welcoming, the service was exceptional. This is so much more that just a place to stay, like stepping back in time, a retreat from the bustle of Gatlinburg, a place to relax after a hike in the park. Breakfast provided a varied menu, something for everyone and all well presented. I do recommend having dinner there, the foods was excellent and reasonably priced, reservations are required. I can't imagine staying anywhere else should I be in that area again.

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZINGPosted Aug 26, 2009
My wife and I were long overdue for a short vacation when we found the Buckhorn Inn. What a treasure. It is without a doubt one of the most pleasant places we have ever stayed. The room was perfect and the food was beyond description. WOW!!! The entire staff could not do enough for us and was always anxious to accomodate any need we may have had. We started planning our next stay there before we left.

I understand there's video peep holes available now that provide a 2 - 3 inch LCD monitor showing what's on the other side. One that takes a motion detected snapshot would be great. If it exists, I'd love to have one that sends the signal wirelessly to my iPhone/iPad/computer. I'd appreciate recommendations for what's best.

Many people seem to find no satisfaction in life and thus walk around in discontent lacking fulfillment.
Paul stands in stark contrast to these when he gives his testimony in Philippians 4:11-19.
Paul writes from terrible conditions being in prison, yet he said he was content even in this situation.
He said, contentment is learned. The situations of life are a school house to learn contentment, but some never learn and thus their lives are unfulfilled, unsatisfied and
Paul gives four insights on how to learn contentment.
With storms impacting much of the Commonwealth, many Kentuckians are cleaning and restoring their homes and properties. The Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection has specific guidelines for proper disposal of debris in the aftermath of severe weather.
Storm-affected Kentuckians should be aware of health, safety, and compliance hazards associated with debris handling and disposal. These hazards include, but are not limited to, burning of debris, asbestos removal, and mold growth.
The Hart County Grand Jury handed down several indictments in Februrary:
Denise E. Horn, 56, of Lone Star Road, Upton, was charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and complicity; trafficking in a controlled substance (methamphetamine) and complicity; possession of precursors with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine and complicity; possession of drug paraphernalia and complicity; and possession of marijuana and complicity.
The tornado warning issued earlier Friday for LaRue County has expired.
Little damage was reported in the county, according to 911 Coordinator Chris Jackson. A large window in the old Polley building on Lincoln Boulevard was blown out by winds and the old Druthers building on Old E'town Road lost some shingles. A tree was downed across Old E'town Road but was removed quickly.
A severe thunderstorm warning remains in effect.
The National Weather Service and the Storm Prediction Center include LaRue and neighboring counties in a high-risk zone today.
A tornado warning has been issued until 5:15 p.m.
It is advised that residents take shelter.
Severe thunderstorms are expected and likely will deliver outbreaks of lightning, hail and high winds. A squall line associated with the storm front could spawn isolated tornadoes, according to the National Weather Service forecast for this area.
The threat is expected to extend into the early evening hours.
There are many problems in the world. They often involve people not being able to get along. The reasons are varied. The book, The War Between The Classes, is a great example that shows the main reasons of why the world can be cruel. Those reasons are racism, genderism and classism.
There are many injustices in the world. Because of differences in people, people are often treated differently. Racism, genderism and classism are three main reasons why people were treated differently. There are many examples of these reasons in the book The War Between the Classes. The author shows how the differences among the students in the book lead to racism, genderism and classism.
The recent tornadoes and high winds damage to the local community has caused much structural damage and destroyed many homes, garages, and utility buildings in the LaRue County area.
Property owners should avoid being hurt twice, once by wind damage and secondly by poor, unsafe reconstruction. The rebuilding and reconstruction of many of these structures will require a building permit and follow-up building inspections to assure that the building is again made safe to use and live in.
The Leadership LaRue County Class of 2006-07 will offer a $500 scholarship to graduating seniors from LaRue County public, private or home schools. Adults wishing to begin an educational program may apply.
Applicants must reside in LaRue County and enroll as a full-time student in either the Kentucky Community and Technical College system or a four-year college or university in Kentucky.
Consideration will be given to financial need and those applicants with community involvement in LaRue County.
With the impending severe weather predicted the LaRue County Courthouse is available for storm shelter through noon on Saturday, March 4, 2012.
Anyone needing shelter from the storms is encouraged to assemble inside the main courthouse at 209 West High Street, Hodgenville, KY. If you have questions or concerns, contact the judge executive's office at 270-358-4400.

Bearcats Comeback Falls Short Against Florida State
Nov. 13, 2013
Final Stats | Quotes | Notes
After falling behind by as many as 22 points with 13 minutes remaining in the game, the Bearcats mounted a furious comeback, closing the gap with a combination of jumpers, free throws and three-point buckets. Cincinnati got within three points at 61-58 following a triple from senior Dayeesha Hollins (Cincinnati, Ohio/Winton Woods), but the Seminoles held on to the lead with a 63-58 final score.
Senior Jeanise Randolph (Chicago, Ill./Thornton Fractional North) led the Bearcats with 15 points on seven-of-11 shooting from the field. It was the first time this season she has scored in double-digits and the 15th time in her career. She also collected 10 rebounds for her fifth career double-double.
Hollins added 12 points for her second consecutive double figure scoring effort. Sophomore Alexis Durley (Houston, Texas/Andy Dekaney) dished out a game-high and career-high seven assists for the Bearcats while four different UC players registered a block in the contest.
Collectively, Cincinnati (0-2) shot 36.5 percent from the floor after connecting on 51.7 percent in the second half. The Bearcats outrebounded the Seminoles 43-30, including 21 offensive rebounds that created 13 second chance points for UC. The Cincinnati bench also outscored that of its opponents 33-8.
After the Seminoles opened the game with a layup, the Bearcats rattled off nine unanswered points, including seven from Hollins. The senior began the scoring by draining an off-balance three as the shot clock expired, and also added two layups during the run.
The Cincinnati lead grew to nine points following a pull-up three-pointer by freshman Bianca Quisenberry (Springfield, Ohio/Tecumseh), but Florida State clawed its way back. The Seminoles used 15 first-half points from Morgan Jones and closed out the remaining five minutes and 14 second of the stanza with a 15-2 scoring run to hold a 28-21 halftime lead.
Florida State surged out of the halftime break with an 11-2 scoring run to gain a 39-23 lead. The Seminoles looked to cruise to an easy victory, but the Bearcats had other plans in mind.
A 17-6 UC run made it a 54-43 score with 7:05 remaining and an additional 9-0 run brought the Bearcats to within 57-52 with 2:34 to play. Randolph had two layups and senior Kayla Cook (South Webster, Ohio/South Webster) hit a trey from the top of the key during the FSU scoring drought.
The Bearcats cut the lead to three points at 61-58 with 10 seconds left following a three-point basket by Hollins but could not score the rest of the way.
Cincinnati will be back in action on Sun., Nov. 17 when it plays host to Kent State at 2 p.m. in Fifth Third Arena.

R.I.P.D. - 'A Look Inside' Featurette
Reported by Outsiders - 2013.07.08
Universal has released a three-minute featurette, titled "A Look Inside," for their upcoming supernatural buddy-cop action-flick "R.I.P.D." starring Ryan Reynolds as Nick Walker, a wisecracking police officer who dies during a routine bust, gets recruited by the Rest In Peace Department for his detective skills, and is assigned to protect Earth from bad souls who prefer to hide out amongst the living. Under the tutelage of his new senior partner, Dead sheriff Roy Pulsiifer (Jeff Bridges), Nick learns how to round up these co-called "Dead-os", and soon uncovers an evil ploy that will destroy the world.
Veteran sheriff Roy Pulsifer (Jeff Bridges) has spent his career with the legendary police force known as R.I.P.D. tracking monstrous spirits who are cleverly disguised as ordinary people. His mission? To arrest and bring to justice a special brand of criminals trying to escape final judgment by hiding among the unsuspecting on Earth. Once the wise-cracking Roy is assigned former rising-star detective Nick Walker (Ryan Reynolds) as his junior officer, the new partners have to turn grudging respect into top-notch teamwork. When they uncover a plot that could end life as we know it, two of R.I.P.D.s finest must miraculously restore the cosmic balance...or watch the tunnel to the afterlife begin sending angry souls the very wrong way.
R.I.P.D. stars Jeff Bridges, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker, Stephanie Szostak, Robert Knepper, James Hong, Marisa Miller, Mike OMalley, Devin Ratray

Hi guys. I'm working on science portal. This is my biggest project ever and would like to ask you for feedback.
Here is thumbnail http://files.freshidea.sk/science.png
Hello supolka,
- I believe that there is a very large blank space at the top of your template. Why not up the site a bit and apply some navigation, such as contact information or social networks?
- Try to review the typografia, the font used, try applying a "serif" and also change the sample text patterns using wildcards (preferably in English) for greater understanding of the users.
- Your navigation menu needs more content, try using only typografia it and also expand the space, a portal will always need a greater amount of menu items for navigation, it is also recommended that you make a plan of dropdown menus.
- Create a footer with links navigation or site map, contact information and copyright notices.
Good Luck!

My stupid friend asked me:
IMMEDIATELY I did two things:
2.) Replied, "I'm starting a business from scratch. By the end of this weekend I'll have a ghetto business launched and collecting data."
This Fat Sumo may not know what a "Diet" is, but I sure as hell know how to start businesses....and I can make a business in ONE weekend.
What's crazy is most people can't even make one business in a LIFETIME.
They're always "gonna" start something.
Lo and behold....they NEVER get anything going.
Why is that??
I'll tell you why:
Let's cut the damn excuses Young Sumo-ling.
I wanna show you how to find your idea, and start a ghetto test-trial of your business before you waste all your time on some crap idea.
This is a kourse that's close to our cholesterol-filled Sumo-hearts.
"But Summoooo.....HOW is it different? you annoyingly ask me....
There was an article on Tim Ferriss' blog called
When that epic article was written....it was almost a "joke" to show how to research Chihuahua dogs. But the research showed that market was viable. We're gonna prove we can make that data work by literally showing you how we built a business around Chihuahuas in one weekend.
I can already hear you starting to whine:
I hear you Young Sumo-ling. You're correct....sometimes just a 2-page post (no matter how good) is no replacement for seeing the whole process done ON A REAL LIFE EXAMPLE right in front of your eyes.
Hmmm....well it juusstt soooo happpeeennss this Fat Sumo has literally the EXACT answer to your problem.
This Video Action Kourse is stuffed into three sections:
SECTION 2.) How to test that idea and start building. We actually START by building and validating a CHIHUAHUA BUSINESS! From scratch. At the end the kourse, this Sumo eats all the Chihuahuas for lunch.
SECTION 3.) Killing the "Wantrepreneur Syndrome" so many people have. We do this through AppSumo-Exclusive interviews with lots of people who are "sooo successful now" ....but weren't always like that (and how you can change your mindset too).
Malcolm Gladwell has something he calls the 10,000-Hour Rule. It goes like this:
"Studies suggest the key to success in any field has nothing to do with talent....It's simply practice. 10,000 hours of it. 20 hours a week for 10 years."
What this means is that the MORE you do "stupid small side projects" .....the BETTER you get.
In this Kourse we interview (specifically for this Kourse) successful people who talk about how in the beginning they just did "stupid small businesses" when they first started.
So it comes down to this.....
You're staring this decision in the face (kinda like that "Blue pill vs. Red pill" scene in The Matrix).
You can take the path of "I'll always DREAM of making a business but I'll most likely never even start....."
You can watch how this big fat Sumo identifies businesses to start, validates the ideas and EXECUTES them violently.
Grab my fat Sumo-hand and follow along as we test ideas and build ghetto validation tests right in front of your eyes.
P.P.S. This can be seriously life-changing info. We have a 100% "Anytime Before You Die" money-back guarantee for anyone who is unsure of buying.
P.P.P.S. If you're NOT ready to start your own biz...then please don't buy.
This BluePrint staff helped me a lot to actually start testing ideas. I thought a lot before buying but now I wish I'd do it earlier!
There are 2 types of Wanterpreneurs: the I-never-have-an-idea and the I-have-too-many idea. For both type Appsumo BP is a MUST!
It helped me a lot like first I check if ANYONE is looking for my product. I don't like chihuahuas (or whatever it is) but I wanted to sell dogfood here in the far east. Took like an hour to figure out that it's a huge time-wasting idea.
I built an ecommerce site on another idea because there is space in the market. There is interest - but NOONE wanted to actually buy.
The first tests takes like... an HOUR!? and if something is interesting it takes another 1-2 days to validate EASILY.
I sleep much deeper since I know that ALL my ideas can be tested terribly easily - and one will work for sure!
Thanks Sumos, you helped a Real Yogi not just Fatass Sumos!

LOVE IT! I watched it today and came up with good ideas immediately that I'll test tomorrow locally, without spending a dime or preparing any website at all!
Guys for real, BUY IT! It will help you keep going anyway, if you're a wantrepreneur or just don't know how to start! GO BUY IT!

Great stuff! I really liked it as well! By the way - if you are an entrpreneur or a small business owner you can use adsurf.net to grow your business, as they offer very cheap advertisng, marketing, design or traffic generation deals that will help you without a doubt! Loved the videos!

Some awesome stuff here! When I saw Neville appear in a sumo suit I feared the worst but he and Noah Kagan delivered an impressive amount entrepeneurial and motivational value... This "Kourse" is a ruthless call to action for all those seeking to be in business. Nev and Noah destroyed all my excuses for being a "wantrepeneur"... I also really liked how practical this Kourse is, they actually show you how to test and build a business from your laptop in an insanely short time.
The only reason I'm not giving it the full five tacos is because this is a video only Kourse and I just happen to have an ebook fetish... (don't like taking notes, who does?)

Sorry Neville...
These are great ideas but the videos are basically a rehash of Noah Kagan's article on 4 hour work week. I was really expecting a more in-depth guide or a uh... "blueprint".
Everyone else...
The videos are informative (and entertaining) but if you're on a budget, save yourself a few bucks and just read the article below.

Thanks for saving me a few greenbacks, frogs, buckaroos! Now I have some extra simoleons to spend on other Sumo products this weekend!!
August 27, 2012
Well duh....you can read the article for a general outline.
Buy the product if you wanna see it implemented several times over in real time....and watch exactly what to do.
I can also tell you how to lose weight:
-Eat less calories than you expend.
-Workout more
.....but having just a "general outline" doesn't mean any action will happen after that.
You need to watch how someone actually has done it. What they were eating for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Problems they encountered along the way.....etc etc.
I stand 100% behind this course. It will teach you an entirely new way of starting a business....without doing the typical "wantrepreneur" route of spending a lot of time and money BEFORE knowing if anyone wants your damn product!

First 3 parts are great.
4th part is called next steps and one would think he'd find some kind of checklist or plan, but instead is just a few bonus videos and a non-working comments and questions form.

Seriously, I wasn't going to leave a review but some bad reviews are making me crazy. This is a better in-depth process of what Noah Kagen talked about on the 4-hour-blog and it is totally worth it. In fact, I have validated 2 ideas so far but even more important I HAVE CROSSED OUT MANY IDEAS THAT DIDN'T WORK SAVING ME TONS OF TIME AND MONEY.
That alone is amazing.
I've now started a process where I try and validate an idea once a month using this product as a guide. Thanks Nev great stuff.
P.S - If your offended by the language then why are you on appsumo?
8 of 10 people found this helpful. Did you? October 21, 2012
Well thanks for coming to the rescue :-)
Whenever I get bad feedback on something I make (that I truly believe is good), I often view the person as:
50% has a gripe.
50% is insane.
However some people are just totally insane....and I ignore that feedback because it means nothing to me.
As for YOU, glad you've crossed off ideas by validating. It's VERY good to know what you're working on has no legs before investing tons of time/money/emotion into it.
Good job :-)

Even in a Sumo suit.
But that's not the best reason to buy the course. Better is that he simplifies how to explore business ideas. Super dead simple. You don't need the clutter and bloat from more expensive courses, unless that's your thing. Start here.
He gets to the point and makes you laugh. If you are laughing, you aren't sleeping, which means you will remember what he says. Maybe you will even do what he says and save yourself a ton of money and time.
He updates the course too, looking after all his baby sumos.
I got a lot out of the course. Inspired to do more. Ready, set...

I endured what felt like eternity watching these guys goof around in the idiotic sumo suits, waiting for some bit of information worth the price of admission. It never came. Very amateurish and coarse. Refund requested.

I'm almost 60 years young, one of those "Go daddy dummies" that you talk about in your video :). I've wanted to have an Internet biz for years and tried other courses in the past, some very expensive ones. Always got "stuck" somewhere and whenever I tried to get help I'd get a canned email from one of their hired help. If I asked them to clarify their email, they'd send the exact same canned email I had already gotten 2 days before. Never did get past the "idea" stage.
For the price, the Business blueprint is way better than any course I've bought before, I actually understand it and amazingly enough I can relate to you kids! (Yeah, to me you are kids! :) ) Not crazy about the sumo suit but hey whatever floats your boat!
Keep up the good work!

Just bought the business blueprint a couple of days ago...it's off the hook good. I have been fucking around since 07 and this is the best product I have come across. Some of the stuff is noob stuff but the interviews and gorilla stuff are mint.
In 07 I heard about validating and setting up landing and sales pages even if you don't have a way to deliver the product as a way to test but never did anything... Been a total wantrapanure, but for the last 3 months I have started taking action and shit is coming together.

Sorry, but I found it a bit lacking in value. More sizzle than steak. the final video clip on analytic research was helpful but nothing too insightful. A bit disappointing.

Considering there's tons of stuff (apparently) on the same subject out there for free I had no intention to spend money to read more. But when I got that e-mail I got too curious to find out how'd they start a business about Chihuahuas (?!) in one weekend that I went on and buy it.
People talking about starting a business and stuff always try to look sooooo professional and serious (then bored me to death within one or two minutes); so first thing that amazed me was the guy was actually speaking with that ridiculous costume and with like a everyday language (which was actually quite funny).
Then it turns out that the things he and the other guys in the other videos say are also really really really...did I say really?....useful, practical, straight to the point and for the most part can work fine anywhere (also here in Italy where I am).

There is a lot of content here for a total newb like me, and the videos are very well done, with a little humor to keep it interesting. I would recommend this to anyone who sits around dreaming of starting a business and getting out of the corporate hell I find myself in.

I am a wantrepreneur 100%.... so this has been really helpful for me. Not only do the guys suggest how to get off the wantrepreneur track they show you step by step how they go about things which is something that you can esentially copy and replicat with some practice.
you have nothing to lose if you dont like it as much as i do they offer you your cash back.... my guess is you wont take them up on it though as this course is really cool

The Energy Report - Isaac has Oil Production Twisting in the Wind
Winds and rain and Isaac have taken a nasty turn right into the heart of Gulf Oil Production. States of emergency and evacuation orders are in place along the Gulf oil and refining areas. Prices started to soar shortly after Weather Analyst Dave Tolleris of WXRISK told me that Isaac may miss Florida completely and turn into a Category 2 Hurricane and head directly into refineries and production near Alabama and Louisiana. Dave said that we are rapidly approaching that point of landfall with Isaac the models have taken a surprising turn... Dave says that after six days 2x a day - with the European model showing a land fall between Pensacola and New Orleans then suddenly jumped east and now shows landfall in Apalachicola Florida. To say that I was surprised by this would be understatement but then when I considered the time frame (within 84 hours) ... it just might be that the 12z Aug 25 is a hiccup". Indeed the 12z EUROPEAN ensemble MEAN position does still show a land fall between Pensacola and Mobile Alabama. You can see his latest updates searching WXRISK.
With the storm heading to the big refineries gas prices will spike especially considering the news that of a massive explosion at Venezuela's largest refinery that killed at least 39 people. Venezuelan Government officials hope that the can be restarted in two days once the blaze has been extinguished and the area deemed "secure." Yet the truth is that the market is fearful that this refinery will be off line for some time.
That means that Hurricane Isaac could add more woes to the gasoline market driving prices to a 4 month high. With Tropical Storm and soon to be Hurricane Isaac is possibly headed right into some of our country's largest refineries. Not only do we have to worry about wind damage but as we have learned from previous storms that we may have to worry about flood damage as well. Reuters reports that after initially calling for Tropical Storm Isaac to pass well east of the U.S. offshore production zone, forecasters are now predicting a more westward track which could bring Isaac as a powerful Category 2 hurricane over the heart of the U.S. offshore oilpatch, which produces about 23 percent of U.S. oil output and 7 percent of its natural gas output. Isaac could be the biggest test to U.S. energy infrastructure since 2008, when Hurricanes Gustav and Ike disrupted offshore oil output for months as well as damaged onshore natural gas processing plants and pipelines. London-based BP Plc, the biggest U.S. Gulf producer, on Sunday evacuated all of its Gulf of Mexico rigs, after earlier shutting down its giant Thunder Horse platform, the world's largest, which can process 250,000 barrels of oil and 200 million cubic of natural gas per day (mmcfd), and three others. BP's evacuations and shutdowns initiated Sunday included Atlantis, the world's second-largest offshore platform, which can produce up to 200,000 bpd of oil and 189 mmcf per day of gas. Other offshore operators like Chevron Corp. and Royal Dutch/Shell have evacuated some workers, though they have not yet shut down any production.
The U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement says offshore oil and gas operators in the Gulf of Mexico are evacuating platforms and rigs in the path of Tropical Storm Isaac. The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) Hurricane Response Team is activated and monitoring the operators' activities. The team will continue to work with offshore operators and other state and federal agencies until operations return to normal and the storm is no longer a threat to Gulf of Mexico oil and gas activities. Based on data from offshore operator reports submitted , personnel have been evacuated from a total of 39 production platforms, equivalent to 6.54 percent of the 596 manned platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Production platforms are the structures located offshore from which oil and natural gas are produced. Unlike drilling rigs, which typically move from location to location, production facilities remain in the same location throughout a project's duration.
Personnel have been evacuated from eight rigs, equivalent to 10.5 percent of the 76 rigs currently operating in the Gulf. Rigs can include several types of self-contained offshore drilling facilities including jackup rigs, submersibles and semisubmersibles. As part of the evacuation process, personnel activate the applicable shut-in procedure, which can frequently be accomplished from a remote location. This involves closing the sub-surface safety valves located below the surface of the ocean floor to prevent the release of oil or gas. During previous hurricane seasons, the shut-in valves functioned 100 percent of the time, efficiently shutting in production from wells on the Outer Continental Shelf and protecting the marine and coastal environments. Shutting-in oil and gas production is a standard procedure conducted by industry for safety and environmental reasons.
From operator reports, it is estimated that approximately 24.19 percent of the current daily oil production in the Gulf of Mexico has been shut-in. It is also estimated that approximately 8.24 percent of the current daily natural gas production in the Gulf of Mexico has been shut-in. The production percentages are calculated using information submitted by offshore operators in daily reports. Shut-in production information included in these reports is based on the amount of oil and gas the operator expected to produce that day. The shut-in production figures therefore are estimates, which BSEE compares to historical production reports to ensure the estimates follow a logical pattern.
After the hurricane has passed, facilities will be inspected. Once all standard checks have been completed, production from undamaged facilities will be brought back on line immediately. Facilities sustaining damage may take longer to bring back on line. BSEE will continue to update the evacuation and shut-in statistics at 1:00 p.m. CDT each day as appropriate. Outage figures will rise in the days ahead, according to forecasters at Weather Insight, an arm of Thomson Reuters, who predict the storm will spur short-term shutdowns of 85 percent of U.S. offshore oil capacity and 68 percent of its natural gas output. Isaac has a 95 percent chance of entering the heart of the oil and gas producing region, Weather Insight said on Sunday.
Isaac could also impact the U.S. refinery row along the Gulf Coast, which stretches from Mississippi to south Texas and accounts from more than 40 percent of U.S. fuel output. Chevron's 330,000 barrel per day (bpd) Pascagoula, Mississippi, refinery is near the storm's expected landfall. The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP), which can offload about 1 million barrels per day of foreign crude for delivery to Gulf Coast refiners, remained in operation on Sunday, a spokeswoman said.
And if that wasn't enough to worry about as Isaac bears down on oil the Energy Information Administration arm of the Department of Energy gives oil bulls more ammunition. The EIA warns that surplus oil production stands at a "quite modest" 2.4 million compared to 2009 through 2011 levels of about 2.4 million barrels per day. This of course becomes more of an issue with Isaac getting ready to cause havoc and rising geopolitical risk with Iran and Syria. The Energy Information Administration puts global oil production at an average 88.7 million barrels a day in July and August. The report was mandated by Congress to assess the oil market in countries other than Iran.
Of Course than you have weaker than expected data in China and Germany and you have big bad Ben Bernanke going to Jackson Hole and he could impact oil as much as Isaac.

The Internet in present days offers so many options for free applications that allow you to create a professional looking site without any problems even if this is your first time doing that with A2hosting Coupon. And for those that are reluctant to take the time and create a website from scratch there are also many free websites templates that you can use. OK, but creating the website is not enough to get it on the Internet. You actually have to find a reliable web hosting company for your website if you Choose A small orange coupon.
Can I trust cheap web hosting?
When you start looking for a suitable web hosting service that you can use for your website you will come to realize that there are many companies and many various offers for website hosting. And prices can vary a lot as well and one starts wondering why. Sure, there are different types of hosting that naturally have different pricing but there are some offers that look quite similar and yet one is cheap while the other is expensive. So does that mean expensive hosting is reliable while cheap web hosting is poor quality? I can guarantee that is not true and probably there are even exceptions where cheaper hosting is more reliable than an expensive one. But that hardly happens and simply means the company offering expensive services doesn't know what they are doing. But how is it possible to offer cheaper prices for the same service and yet not compromise the quality. Well, better management along with economy of scale make that possible with A2 hosting coupon.
How do I know which cheap web hosting is reliable?
There are many ways to tell if a certain web hosting company will provide quality services even though they have cheap hosting offers or the lower prices are due to lowered service level. For example, if a company is offering a wide variety of services and especially reseller hosting asmallorange coupon, then you can rest assured it is a considerable company capable of providing quality services. If you take a look at ResellersPanel.com, you will see that they provide not just one but two reseller program and a wide range of services:
– Free reseller program – this is a unique opportunity provided by A small orange coupon where someone can become a reseller completely free and that will allow them to resell the entire scope of services provided by ResellersPanel. The reseller simply sets the retail prices and attracts people to buy from his store, ResellersPanel does the rest – they handle customer support and billing, charging the client the retail price set by the resellers. They deduct the wholesale price and the rest is paid to the reseller as a commission. Also the reseller is provided with a free reseller store template and is ready for use immediately after sign up. The services available for reselling under the free reseller program are: shared hosting, VPS hosting, semi-dedicated hosting, dedicated server hosting, domain name registration and SSL certificates a small orange promo code.
– a2hosting coupon program – this is a more conventional reseller program that can be found with other companies as well. The reseller simply pays for a monthly fee for a certain amount of resources that are later on divided among their customers. The reseller is responsible for customer billing and technical support as well. The a2 hosting coupon program also provides great bonuses to the reseller. There is a free domain name reseller account with eNom.com where the reseller can choose what domain names to resell as well as set up the pricing. There is also the free billing software called ClientExec that resellers can use for tracking orders and payments along with handling customer support. And last but not least ResellersPanel also provides free templates for the reseller store but unlike the templates of the free reseller program, here the reseller must finalize the set up by linking the template to the billing software and the merchant accounts. Resellers also have complete freedom in modifying the templates.
Hosting Services
Having a web site these days is mandatory in terms of broadcasting ideas, advertising a new business or simply staying up to date with the latest vogues. As emails have replaced paper letters a long time ago and users search for pretty much everything on the web, it is a clever idea to own an online portal where clients can get informed about you or your business – this is a means to get closer to them, to explain to them what you think or what you provide.
There is no surprise that so many individuals have started creating their very own professional-looking sites making use of free web applications that are simple enough to use even for inexperienced users. And due to all the free website layouts that are available on the Internet, quite many sites are being launched, which need a website hosting solution like the VPS one.
Web Hosting
As its name implies, web hosting is a solution, which involves hosting web content. There are various forms and types of hosting, depending on the goals and on the usage. Nonetheless, they all entail hosting files, which, once hosted, are made accessible throughout the World Wide Web. A host is actually a web server that is connected to the World Wide Web and has its own IP address, which enables users to get access to it via the World Wide Web. The server's configuration and its system resources are determined by the sort of web hosting service it will be used for.

Lovett's Last-Second Shot Lifts Cincinnati over UCF
Feb. 22, 2014
ORLANDO, Fla. - Alyesha Lovett's (Newark, N.J./Malcolm X Shabazz) coast-to-coast lay-up with less than one second remaining capped a come-from-behind, 50-49 win for the University of Cincinnati women's basketball team over University of Central Florida Saturday evening.
The Bearcats were able to erase a nine-point deficit over the final four minutes and 21 seconds of the contest, capped by Lovett's last-second heroics. Kayla Cook (Webster, Ohio/South Webster) started the effort with a trey at the 4:20 mark that cut the UCF lead to six.
Following a pair of UCF free throws, Cincinnati found themselves down five with 2:22 remaining before Cook connected again from three-point range to bring UC within one score for the first time since the 5:25 mark of the first half. More than a minute and a half would tick off the clock before the next score after a pair of defensive stops for UC and one for UCF.
With 37 seconds remaining and still trailing by two, the Bearcats had a pair of golden opportunities to take the lead but both shots rolled off the rim and UCF collected the rebound. However, Jasmine Whitfield (Crestwood, Ky./South Oldham) swiped the ball away before the Knights even made it across half court giving UC a third chance at tying the game.
This time the Bearcats would not be denied as Lovett laid it in and was fouled, heading to the line with a chance to give UC the lead. The junior calmly nailed the free throw putting UC up 48-47 with 22 seconds left.
Jeanise Randolph (Chicago, Ill/Thornton Fractional North) nearly recorded the steal on the ensuing UCF possession, but the Knights recovered and Sara Djassi hit a jumper with six seconds left. Lovett then raced the full length of the court, hitting the game winner with less than one second on the clock. UCF fumbled the inbounds pass and UC escaped with the one-point victory.
Four Bearcats reached double digits in scoring for the first time since the 10th game of the season against Akron on December 17. Lovett's five points over the final 22 seconds gave her 13 for the game. The junior is averaging 17.6 points over the last three games.
Jasmine Whitfield finished with 10 points and tied her career-high rebounding effort with seven. Kayla Cook added 10 points, seven of which came in the second half. All four of Cook's steals also came in the final 20 minutes. Randolph rounded out the double-digit scorers, also scoring 10 points and adding seven rebounds. The senior also recorded two assists, two steals and one block.
UCF was led in scoring by Zykira Lewis who added 22 points off the bench. The Knight's leading-rebounder in Brittni Montgomery also came off the bench with 11.
Cincinnati trailed by eight at halftime after suffering a scoring drought of 8:35 that allowed UCF to turn a five-point deficit into a two-point lead. UCF added five more to make it a 16-2 run for the Knights.
The Bearcats return home on Saturday, March 1 to host No. 3/3 Louisville on senior day. The game will be televised on ESPN3.

Russians Cut the Cheese, Except Swiss
Don't be surprised if Swiss emmentaler and gruyere cheeses at your favorite gourmet shop spike in price.
Seems there could be a run on Swiss cheeses thanks to Russian demand. The Russians have banned European fresh-food imports in retaliation for European Union and U.S. sanctions that target Russia's defense, finance and energy industries. The Swiss are immune. So French Camembert is getting stinkier and, The Wall Street Journal writes, some EU foodmakers are trying to sneak goods through Switzerland.
Many Swiss cheese sellers are small operations based in villages, and won't be able to meet Russian hopes of filling the huge gap left by Dutch edam, Italian mozzarella and other cheeses. More to the point: There is now an estimated $15 billion of Russian assets invested in Swiss banks, 75 percdent of Russian oil and 66 percent of Russian grain is traded through the city of Geneva, a global hub for commodities. Neither oil nor grain are subject to international sanctions, though financing of commodity trades could be affected. The $9 billion fines against BNP Paribas in June for violating U.S. sanctions against Iran, Sudan and Cuba was a warning to financial institutions that Washington will punish those who defy U.S. policy.
Meanwhile, skirmishes remain the order of the day in Eastern Ukraine. But Ukranian troops are advancing. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko meet next week for the first time in months to try to end their confrontation over the separatist rebellion in eastern Ukraine, Reuters reports.
The Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX) and the iShares MSCIRussia Capped ETF (ERUS) are each up roughly .75% today. For traders, the Direxion Daily Russia Bear 3X Shares (RUSS) fell 1.9% and the Direxion Daily Russia Bull 3X Shares (RUSL) rose 2%.

Bird Irruption Brings Species Further South
12/11/12 12:44PM By Jane Lindholm, Patti Daniels
| Download MP3
When birds can't find food in their normal seasonal habitat, they fly farther afield to search. This is known as an irruption. And while it's tough on the birds, it does make for more interesting birding for those trying to complete a life list.
This season, birders are seeing more redpolls, grosbeaks and crossbills in the region than they normally would at this time of year.
Bird Diva Bridget Butler talks about the reasons for this season's irruption and the best places to see these birds.

With a big splash, we recently launched a significant idea and theme for eBusiness & Channel Strategy professionals for 2011 and beyond called agile commerce. In the report "Welcome To The Era Of Agile Commerce," we highlight how customers no longer interact with companies from a "channel" perspective; instead, they interact through touchpoints. As a result, eBusiness & Channel Strategy professionals have to leave their channel-oriented ways behind them and enter the era of agile commerce -- optimizing their people, processes, and technology to serve today's empowered, ever-connected customers across touchpoints.
Since its launch, we've received some excellent feedback from clients and thought-leaders, validating agile commerce. We've also interviewed three executives in our ongoing series about how agile commerce is affecting their clients and how they are positioning themselves to support the transition to agile commerce. Please continue to visit our community and our blog to share with us your perspective on how agile commerce is affecting your business. Do you see the signs of this disruption in your business? Is your organization evolving to sell and service customers seamlessly across touchpoints? What organizational models and technology decisions are you making to optimize your commerce efforts across touchpoints?
Posted by Andrew Stockwell on March 8, 2011
The barometer of success for today's eBusiness and channel strategy professionals is changing rapidly. The emergence of new connected devices, global and empowered customers, and the management of "traditional" channels all present difficult challenges.
Our team works to help you address these questions every day. Specifically, within our growing council of eBusiness and channel strategy professionals, our advisors manage relationships with eBusiness executives at top-tier firms to help them address these and other challenges. And based on our growth, we're looking for help. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming an advisor on our team, please consider the following open positions for which we are hiring:
I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together!

Wonderful vets and staff!
This is an amazing veterinary practice! They have extremely knowledgeable doctors and staff. They really care for the well-being of all their patients and will do whatever it takes to make a sick animal into the healthy, happy pet their family knows and loves. Although they tend to be on the pricey side, the incredible facilities and technology (ex: digital radiographs) are the reasoning behind the high prices. They gave me a wonderful opportunity to be a veterinary technician while in undergrad and I can honestly say I would probably not be in veterinary school if it wasn't for them. It would be an honor to go back and work for Dr. Glenn and Dr. Yantorni once I become a veterinarian :-)
Stay away!!! They have really gone down hill!
I have been going to this vet for over ten years. Since they have changed locations from across the street I have notice a SEVERE decline across the board. They used to be over priced but worth it. Now they are just overpriced!!! We boarded our dog in their "lodge"... I thought it was funny YOU HAD TO PAY FOR A BATH before pick up. Now I know why... they let the dogs stay in their own and other dogs feces. Don't let the shiny new digs fool you... STAY AWAY!!! They gave my dog worms and then over charged me to treat. I was told i could order meds online to save a few... after waiting 10 days I get a call saying they don't do that. I would have to come back in and pay $5/ prescription. So now I have to bring my newborn baby and 3 year old back into the place that has a severe worm infestation to pick up a stupid prescription. This happened to a 10 year customer who has spent thousands with over the years. (By the way we have boarded at lots of places over the years and this is the first time our dog got worms.) Stay away please!
We had to drive a foster dog there since the rescue was in the Orlando area. The staff was really friendly and understanding. They called the rescue organization and had everything together 5 minutes after we arrived. We were very impressed.
