Tell us a little about yourself. I am President of Successful Stepfamilies and specialize in family ministry to stepfamilies.
What was your motivation behind this project? After working in family ministry for many years, I noticed that stepfamilies were neglected by most marriage and family education programs. We started a local ministry that soon became in high demand around the country. That ministry has now given birth to multiple books, a DVD curriculum, conferences nationwide, and the largest Web page in the world for Christian stepfamilies. We simply want to prevent redivorce and help the church to become relevant to stepfamilies.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? Practical guidance, understanding, and hope. Also, I pray ministry leaders will learn how they can better minister and equip stepfamilies.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? It has changed my life. This is the first practical resource our ministry created and is now the backbone of our message. It is crucial that couples and churches understand how stepfamilies are different.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? Too many to mention. God has used so many to encourage, challenge, and teach me. I'm thankful for all of them!
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: Visit us: SuccessfulStepfamilies.com and share The Smart Stepmom or The Smart Stepfamily with your pastor or ministry leader. The church must become more educated about stepfamilies if we are going to lower the redivorce rate.

FMCG in the Middle East: Interview: GULFOOD 2014: Mondelez's Middle East snacks ambitions
Mondelez EEMEA vice president and area director Vishal Tikku
They may be growing quickly but the Middle East's snacks and confectionery sectors present a challenge for companies looking to grow their share of sales. Vishal Tikku, vice president and area director for Mondelez International in the region, spoke to Hannah Abdulla at the Gulfood 2014 exhibition in Dubai about the company's ambitions for the region.
It is a corporate entity not yet two years old but Mondelez International's presence in the Middle East goes back a century.
"In Dubai there is a museum on Fahidi Street, which largely highlights the way people used to live," Vishal Tikku, the director of the global snacks group's operations in the Middle East, tells just-food. "In one of the exhibits, there is a can of Kraft cheese dated 1916, demonstrating we have been here a very long time. People have grown up with our products."
It is, however, fair to say Mondelez has intensified its focus on the region in the last decade. In 2000, Mondelez, then Kraft Foods Inc, set up its active office in Dubai, which manages its operations in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The office houses 145 staff.
"We cover operations all the way from Russia to South Africa and Morocco to Pakistan out of here," says Tikku, who heads Mondelez's operations across that region, not just the Middle East. He has been with the company and based in Dubai for the last nine years. "Geographically, Dubai is well positioned - especially if you are managing the region, it is extremely well connected."
But the city's geographical connections only attract greater competion. PepsiCo, Mars Inc and Nestle are just some of the multinationals with regional offices in Dubai, highlighting the global competitors Mondelez has to contend with locally.
"The Middle East is a big export market, and it's a growing market. Growth markets in the world are not so many so it has attention from most of our key competitors," Tikku says.
Mondelez, created after the split of the then Kraft Foods Inc in two, is looking to build its business in the region's snacks and confectionery industries, sectors where Tikku says its rivals have a head start on the Cadbury and Oreo maker.
"Competition anywhere is fairly tough. The chocolate category has a lot of international brands, the same as anywhere in the world. Our efforts in the market are fairly recent - they've been here a longer length of time and have created brand shares," Tikku admits.
"Biscuits is a very fragmented market. There's no number one player - there are different number one players in different countries and the sector has more local players."
Tikku was happy with Mondelez's performance in the Middle East in 2013. "We did well," Tikku says. "We made fundamental changes in our route-to-market to get better at being a snacks company, being more available and better increasing our presence at point of sale. We spent a fair amount of money on effort to develop that capability, which we need to develop further going forward. Overall we have great expectations of the coming year," he says.
Mondelez believes its local snacks businesses will grow faster than its other two interests - powdered drinks and cheese. However, Tikku insists there is no room for complacency.
"We aren't the number one chocolate company here - we would like to be and that's where a lot of our effort is going. Similarly for biscuits, we aren't number one - we want to be, and so our growth expectation for the snacks business is greater than our other two businesses, Tang, which is part of the powdered beverage market, and our cheeses."
When asked when he believes Mondelez will be number one in the categories, Tikku responds "not soon enough". However, because of the fragmentation of the local biscuit market, he believes it will be that category where Mondelez could take the top spot faster. In chocolate, "every single global player is here, which makes it tougher, and you have to have really differentiated products to win", Tikku says.
Nevertheless, that does not mean Tikku is not confident about the firm's strategy. He says Mondelez prides itself on understanding local consumers.
"Eventually you have to understand your consumer needs and if you can supply that and fulfil that need better than your competitor you'll win. That's the core of any FMCG company and we do the same. We put a lot of effort into consumer understanding, R&D and developing products, looking at successful products around the world and integrating their successes elsewhere."
Being a multinational in a region with strong growth prospects has its benefits, Tikku believes. He calls it being able to use "the power of big and the power of small."
"We like to use our scale, our great R&D capabilities and the fantastic brands which have all been developed and are loved by people around the world. There is little reason for people here not to like them, so we need to try them and have the advantage of being able to do that. Then we need our feet on the ground, need the agility to take that to market and create that impact."
Mondelez will hope to tap into local consumer demand that, according to FMCG manufacturers present in the region, can be less sensitive to price than elsewhere in the world.
Tikku concurs. "It's an affuent part of the world. You have a good offering, consumers are willing to pay you the money for it. That doesn't happen everywhere."
In addition to Mondelez's presence in Dubai, it has plants in Dammam in Bahrain and in Pakistan in the region. In total around 1,200 staff cover the Middle East region.
But with Mondelez restructuring its supply chains and cutting overheads in a response to slower-than-expected sales, what will be the impact on its operatiosn in the Middle East?
"In the developing worlds, China, Brazil and India didn't do as well as we thought they would, which then makes it difficult for a global company relying on developing market growth to grow," Tikku says. "If you aren't growing at the pace you are expected to, there is greater pressure on your profitability."
However, he adds: "More than overheads, I think it's more about having a culture of cost consciousness. As a multinational, we are committed to build - we are working on that quite hard. It will impact on small things and will impact on big things."
For 2014, Tikku says the aim for Mondelez in the Middle East is to continue "driving growth ahead of our category, boosting profitability through efficiency as well as managing our commodities".
He says: "If you have your act together you can grow. The trick is to get your act together."

Region offering: sowing seeds of ministry
ABC-MI is currently conducting its first ever Region offering, sowing seeds of ministry. This offering will support the many ongoing ministries of ABC-MI as well as support new initiatives. One of the effective ongoing ministries has been in the area of church health. To assist churches in the movement toward greater health, ABC-MI offers a number of church health enrichment/assessment resources and workshops to help church leaders determine a plan for the movement toward greater health that best matches their need. A growing number of ABC-MI churches have engaged in an enrichment/assessment process, many with positive and significant results.
One such church is Renaissance Baptist Church in Detroit. The Rev. Edwin Holmes shares the difference that such resources have made in the life of his congregation:
Last year a church health assessment workshop was done at Renaissance Baptist Church. About 50 of our ministry leaders participated and they found the workshop to be very helpful. For example, in small groups we were able to identify some of our strengths and weaknesses in areas such as leadership, relationships, communication, conflict management, mission, and vision, to name a few. In many of the categories I marveled to see that the leadership saw things one way, while I saw them in a completely different way! What I found most helpful about the workshop was that the workshop leader started us out in the Word of God in the book of Acts. We could then measure our "health" against the healthy attributes of the first century church.
For the leaders of the congregation, one of the most helpful aspects of the workshop was coming together in conversation around sensitive issues. We had a list of about ten challenges to start working on, but through dialogue together we discovered that we needed to take them one at a time. One of the first topics we addressed was, "Do you know the mission or vision statement of the church?" This set the tone for eventually address ing other important issues in our church life. After the workshop, many of the leaders told me how important this was and how much they had learned about themselves and our church.
As a result of the workshop, we discovered that the key to a healthy church is not to wait until conflict arises, but to teach the congregation how to respond to conflict in a favorable manner. I am glad to say that we will soon be doing a workshop on conflict resolution, a continuation of what we learned in our health assessment.
I highly recommend this workshop. Having this resource through ABC-MI has truly made a difference in the life of our church!

Renaissance Baptist Church, Detroit
MDA Annual MeetingOn Sunday afternoon, May 4, Chairman Rev. Ronald Burks called to order the annual meeting of the Metropolitan Detroit Association of Churches. Delegates from an association that comprises 47 congregations gathered under the theme "Make A Difference." Reports were received, with special presentations by Friendship House, Camp Lael, and the Children in Poverty Initiative. The Association also welcomed a new church, St. Luke Tabernacle Community Church of Detroit. The meeting was hosted by the First Baptist Church of Wyandotte. The church's praise band provided music, and Dr. Kevin Turman, Region president and pastor of Second Baptist Church of Detroit, brought the message. Delegates to the gathering brought canned goods that were offered as a gift to the food pantries of First, Wyandotte, and the Bethel Baptist Church of Southgate. Following the meeting a dinner was held in the fellowship hall.
"Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have." -- Hebrews 13:16a
Over time we come to realize that all of our gifts come from God, and that sharing actually enriches us. In blessing others with our gifts, goodness and love flow from our hearts. The blessing returns to us, changing us and building that desire to respond even more generously to God's call to do good and to share what we have.
One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) offers an opportunity for each of us to share with people in need around the world – giving them much more than a handout. When we share our resources, we help to ensure that children suffering from disease not only receive treatment, but enjoy the benefits of a community made safer with proper sanitation and clean sources of water. We partner with a family living in hunger, offering them not just food, but the tools and training to build a sustainable source of income for ourselves – improving their world and ours.
Many American Baptists understand the OGHS offering to be the "disaster relief offering." That's true, but OGHS provides for much more. Funding for development projects and refugee ministries to national, international and ecumenical partners totaling over $1,000,000 is made possible each year because of your generosity. Commitments to our partners for the funding of these projects and ministries are made in faith that your undesignated gifts to the offering will provide the resources necessary to support them. A sampling of some of the projects is listed below:
† Across the United States – Resettlement of Refugees
† Burundi – Construction of a Health Center
† Salvador – Food Security for 100 Families
† Dormitory and Training Center for Freed Slaves
† Trenton, NJ – Legal Services for Immigrants
† Palestine – Support for the People of the Gaza Strip
† Thailand – Integrated Tribal Development Program
When we share our resources through OGHS, we make a difference in the lives of others. We reach around the world, giving shape to the heart of Christ. When we understand how the blessing of sharing changes lives, our own lives are never the same again. If you have any questions, please contact Debbie Hart at the Region Office by calling 800.632.2953 ext. 221 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Anniversary Celebration for the Rev. William Wyne
On Sunday, April 27, Second Missionary Baptist Church of Battle Creek celebrated the ninth anniversary of their pastor, the Rev. William Wyne and first lady, Josie Wyne. As the twenty-first pastor of Second Missionary Baptist, Rev. Wyne has had a positive impact on the church itself as well as the community of Battle Creek.
Under his leadership, both the church and the community have grown in many ways. Some of his many notable accomplishments are:
† Rev. Wyne was actively involved in creating the annual community wide MLK celebration in Battle Creek and later implemented the Annual Pulpit Exchange among black and white ministers as part of the MLK celebration.
† He was instrumental in expanding the Mission Ministry Thanksgiving and Christmas Basket giving by partnering with Ann J. Kellogg and Coburn Elementary Schools.
† He established Second's New Vision and Outreach Ministries (SNVOM), the mission of which is to enhance and nurture the economic, spiritual, cultural, and social development of the greater Battle Creek Area.
† Through SNVOM, Rev. Wyne was instrumental in beginning a GED program and an after-school Reading Incentive Program (RIP) both in collaboration with the Battle Creek Public Schools. He implemented A Second Chance Transitional House, collaborating with The Haven of Rest's Life Recovery Program. He also established the Annual Historical Black College & University Choir Concerts, resulting in the hosting of choirs from Howard, Spellman, Morehouse and many other great historical black colleges and universities.
† Under his leadership, three ministers have been licensed and ordained. This includes SMBC's first woman minister.
† Rev. Wyne led the congregation in the construction of the Annex Building, new addition which includes among other things, a computer room, a youth room, classrooms and an elevator making both the Annex and the original church building fully handicapped accessible.
† He has served as Vice Moderator of the Chain Lake District Missionary Baptist Association, and is currently Moderator. He has also served as President of the United Community Ministerial Alliance.
Six years ago, Rev. Wyne led his church to become part of the American Baptist Churches of Michigan. He has become very active in the Region and currently serves as a Peer Leader of one of the Region's Ministry Leadership Groups. He shares his story and the ways in which he and his congregation have benefitted from the relationship with ABC-MI in the booklet "sowing seeds of ministry," available online (www.abc-mi.org) or by calling the Region office. (800.632.2953). His story is also featured below in this issue of E-Link Online.
Sowing Seeds of Ministry -- The Rev. William Wyne
Since becoming part of ABC-MI, I have been tremendously blessed and even surprised. My initial experience with a Baptist faith outside of my own culture was with a Southern Baptist church in Columbus, Mississippi where I was pastoring Missionary Union Baptist Church. The pastor and I had become close friends. I extended an invitation for him to preach to my congregation and he did. However, when he attempted to reciprocate, I was not allowed to preach at his church – and this was in the mid-80's! So when I encountered Kalamazoo First Baptist, I did so with reservations and a history that was not positive. It was not long before the First Baptist Church of Kalamazoo demonstrated the spirit of God's church and helped me put in the past my negative experience with a "First Baptist Church."
As part of the ABC-MI fellowship, I have benefited from relationships and opportunities that have affirmed my faith and enhanced my own ministerial walk. Most recently our church ordained our first woman minister with the approval and blessing of the Commission on Ordination.
While serving as an MLG Peer Leader, I have found myself more often being the recipient of blessings from the group, rather than the leader giving blessings to the group. I have ultimately found a genuine spirit of fellowship and collegial respect from my peers in ABC. My walk in this denomination especially in the West area has truly been God-ordained.
I have been enriched far more that I could ever enrich those whom I have been blessed to know and I am thankful for this fruitful fellowship.
-- Rev. William J. Wyne, Pastor, Second Missionary Baptist Church Battle Creek

A joint position statement with the College of Family Physicians of Canada
A joint position statement with the College of Family Physicians of Canada
Hemorrhagic disease of the newborn (HDNB) was first identified over 100 years ago by Townsend [1]; it presents as unexpected bleeding, often with gastrointestinal hemorrhage and ecchymosis, and, in many cases, intracranial hemorrhage. In 1961, the Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended that vitamin K1 (hereafter referred to as vitamin K, the only form of vitamin K1 used in neonates) 0.5 to 1.0 mg be administered intramuscularly to all newborns shortly after birth to prevent this problem [2]. In 1988, the Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) indicated that 2.0 mg of vitamin K administered orally within 6 h of birth was an acceptable alternative [3]. This was before the suggestion that the risk of childhood cancer increases after intramuscular vitamin K shortly after birth [4][5], a suggestion which has subsequently been shown invalid [6]. Although other countries joined Canada in recommending the alternative oral administration of vitamin K, the AAP has continued to advocate sole use of the intramuscular route, noting that an approved oral form is not available [6]. The CPS believes that, on the basis of available information, their recommendations should be modified.
The current status of administration of vitamin K to newborns has recently been reviewed [7]. Clinical decisions must be made on the best available evidence, despite controversy and a lack of definitive answers to many clinical questions. Potential harm to the baby must also be considered.
Although no significant complications after 420,000 intramuscular injections of vitamin K to newborns were reported [8], the psychological effects of intramuscular injections on newborn infants and their parents are unknown. It has been reported that pain experienced during the neonatal period may have long term effects [9][10]. However, the benefits of routine vitamin K administration have been clearly shown, and it is important that this be given in the most effective manner [11]. The 1988 CPS recommendations aimed to obtain the benefit of vitamin K for newborns without incurring pain [3]. These recommendations supported the oral route of administration of vitamin K with a formulation designed for parenteral use, a regimen reported to be effective, practical and economical [12].
To prevent early HDNB (which occurs during the first 24 h of life), the CPS also recommended administration of vitamin K to expectant mothers who take drugs that impair vitamin K metabolism [3]. Classic HDNB (occurring in the first week of life) is rarely seen when vitamin K is given to newborn infants [11]. Late HDNB (at three to eight weeks of age), which occurs almost exclusively among infants who are breastfed, has emerged as a more serious concern in Germany [13], Britain [14], Sweden [15][16] and Australia [17][18]. In these countries the incidence of this problem increased at the same time as the implementation of the use of oral rather than intramuscular administration of vitamin K occurred. Although intramuscular administration of vitamin K appears to be superior to oral administration [4][13]-[15], repeated oral doses of vitamin K have also been suggested [15][19]. In the absence of adequate amounts of vitamin K, an induced protein (PIVKA-II) may be measured in the blood; this protein disappears by five days after oral administration of 1.0 mg of vitamin K at birth [20]. At five days of age, there appears to be no difference whether vitamin K was administered orally or intramuscularly [21]. However, at age four to six weeks, biochemical signs of vitamin K deficiency are observed in up to 19% of infants given 2.0 mg of vitamin K orally at birth; by comparison, only 5.5% of those given 1.0 mg intramuscularly have biochemical signs of vitamin K deficiency [22]. A mixed-micelle form of vitamin K may be better absorbed. However, a study showed that, even with this formulation, there is a greater incidence of vitamin K deficiency when vitamin K is given orally than when it is administered intramuscularly [23]. The problem common to all of these studies is the poor clinical correlation of these biochemical indicators to abnormal bleeding in infants.
An epidemiological study from Germany by von Kries [8] showed a failure rate (occurrence of late HDNB) after intramuscular administration of 0.25 per 100,000 infants, compared with a rate of 1.4 per 100,000 infants after oral administration. In other countries in which oral administration is the primary form of vitamin K deficiency prophylaxis, the incidence of late HDNB varied – 1.5 (Britain), 6.0 (Sweden) and 6.4 (Switzerland) per 100,000 infants [8][18]. Some of these infants could have had underlying disorders that affected vitamin K metabolism [24]. The specific incidence of late HDNB in Canada after oral or intramuscular administration of vitamin K is unknown, although addition of HDNB to reports to the Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program may provide further information. (In the first six months of 1997, there were two confirmed reports of HDNB – one in a baby who received no vitamin K following birth and one who received oral vitamin K.)
A meta-analysis of cohort studies comparing babies who receive a single oral dose of vitamin K with those who receive a single intramuscular dose of vitamin K after birth indicates a relative risk of HDNB of 13.82 (Table 1) [14][25][26]. Even excluding babies with liver disease, which usually cannot be determined at birth, the relative risk is 8.15 (95% CI 1.32 to 28.63). Although there are reports of successful experience using oral vitamin K prophylaxis in neonates [27], analysis of the reported scientific data supports the use of intramuscular rather than oral vitamin K after birth.

Reasons for increased benefit with intramuscular administration of vitamin K following birth are not clear (possibly storage with slow release). Because risks of late HDNB are greatest in breastfed babies, it has been suggested that there may be benefit to giving lactating mothers vitamin K [28][29]. Although one study from Denmark reported that a program of weekly oral vitamin K for babies until three months of age reduced the incidence of late HDNB compared with a single oral dose [30], a repeated oral dose regimen may not be practical because of poor patient compliance [31]. An epidemiological study, which included the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Australia, confirmed that three oral doses of 1 mg vitamin K are less effective than intramuscular vitamin K prophylaxis in neonates, although a daily oral dose of 25 mcg after an initial dose of 1 mg vitamin K may be as effective [32].
It is important to note that intramuscular administration of vitamin K does not provide complete protection from HDNB, especially in breastfed infants whose oral intake of vitamin K is low. Physicians should also consider the possibility of vitamin K deficiency at an early stage in the evaluation of any bleeding that occurs during the first six months of life. Appropriate therapy with vitamin K should be instituted when required. (It is reasonable to consider administering further doses of vitamin K to infants at a high risk of HDNB: those who fail to thrive, have liver disease or have long term diarrhea.)
The large number of newborn infants required to conduct a prospective study comparing the efficacy of intramuscular and oral administration of vitamin K (with or without repeated doses) make it unlikely that such a study will be carried out. Furthermore, given the higher risk of late HDNB after a single oral dose of vitamin K after birth compared with vitamin K administered intramuscularly and the 50% chance that infants with late HDNB may have serious intracranial hemorrhage [22], administration of vitamin K by the intramuscular route seems most prudent. Repeated oral doses should be reserved for infants whose parents refuse intramuscular administration of vitamin K following birth.
Vitamin K1 should be given as a single intramuscular dose of 0.5 mg (birthweight 1500 g or less) or 1.0 mg (birthweight greater than 1500 g) to all newborns within the first 6 h after birth following initial stabilization of the baby and an appropriate opportunity for maternal (family)-baby interaction.
For newborn infants whose parents refuse an intramuscular injection, the physician should recommend an oral dose of 2.0 mg vitamin K1 at the time of the first feeding. (A minority of committee members believe that physicians should have the option to recommend oral administration of vitamin K for newborns under their care.) Use of the parenteral form of vitamin K for oral administration is all that is currently available. This should be repeated at two to four weeks and six to eight weeks of age. Parents should be advised of the importance of the baby receiving follow-up doses and be cautioned that their infants remain at an increased risk of late HDNB (including the potential for intracranial hemorrhage) using this regimen.

TORONTO — Toronto NDP MP Olivia Chow says she's been diagnosed with a condition that could temporarily prevent her from making certain facial expressions.
Jack Layton's widow says she saw her doctor over the holidays after waking up with some discomfort on the left side of her face.
Chow says she was told she has Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which occurs when the shingles virus affects the facial nerve near the ear.
As a result, Chow says she is having trouble smiling, laughing and putting in her contact lens on that side.
But she stresses the condition in no way affects her work as a member of Parliament, adding people will "just have to imagine that I am smiling."
Shingles is caused by the chickenpox virus, which remains dormant in the body and can become active again. In addition to a painful rash, it can lead to long-term nerve pain.
In the case of Ramsay Hunt syndrome, it can also cause permanent facial muscle weakness and deafness.
"I am learning to be patient as it will take time for my left facial nerves to fully recover. It could take weeks, months or longer," Chow said in a statement.
"Overcoming challenges and adversity is something I have always done. This is no different. While I may have some difficulty smiling for a while, I will continue to work hard and have fun."

Has anyone else had issues when switching between marketplaces recently? I get password has changed since last visit on all the marketplaced but graphic river.
Hey Fandom,
I just switched through all the marketplaces with no problems.
yup always had this issue since the redesign… It doesn't happen all the time though – it's just weird.
I had this issue since the redesign also…
Seems like it happens only when I used FF browser, but everything is alright now since I upgraded to the new Firefox. I really don't know what it was. weird indeed.
my issue was not with Firefox – was with safari on mac so I don't think it's a browser issue – not sure.
had this problem on Chrome, Win 7
just deleted all my cookies and cache , re-logged in and it works just fine now
Thanks for the heads up. I was on IE7 having the issue. I noticed the same issue with firefox 3.5.1 they must be sharing the cookies. I'll delete and try.
I use FF and have no problems. I'm sure it is a cookie issue so if it bothers you I would do what ZoomIt said: delete all your cookies from your various browsers and retry
I think this is especially the case if you have the same cookies from before the redesign (I could be making this up though lol)
I had the problem with Chrome after the redesign but yeah, I just did what Devan said and cleared my cookies and all works well now.

A judge on Wednesday ordered the former parent company of Aspen's oldest magazine to pay a local journalist more than $2,500 for her work on the publication's summer edition.
Lyssa Myska Allen of Aspen won her small-claims case after representatives from Ridge Publications failed to show up in court.
She said Aspen Magazine hired her for two weeks after the previous editor and other staff members abruptly quit this past spring. After the summer issue came out in June, the magazine canceled publication of its next two issues.
Earlier this year, the magazine vacated its downtown Aspen office space, and on Monday, Modern Luxury Media announced that it had acquired Aspen Magazine.
Myska Allen said she had worked for the magazine before on an interim basis, editing the 2011 fall issue. But for that stint, she requested and received half of her payment up front, "which probably helped," she said.
"It's just a bummer of a scenario all around," Myska Allen said. "I liked working there and didn't want it to come to this."
Her lawsuit was the fourth by a former staffer or contract worker in the past five years.
Myska Allen told Judge Erin Fernandez-Ely of Pitkin County small-claims court that she tried to serve a court summons for her lawsuit on both a Ridge representative and Janet O'Grady, Aspen Magazine's president and editor in chief.
But O'Grady "was ducking it," Myska Allen said in court.
O'Grady did not return a message seeking comment, and Ridge officials, who apparently told Myska Allen that they would not be showing up for court, could not be located.
"I think it's a great verdict," Myska Allen said after the proceeding. "But collecting on it is a whole other battle. I'm not super-excited about it."
Fernandez-Ely's default judgment awarded the entire $2,500 Myska Allen was seeking, and ruled that 8 percent interest on it would accrue annually starting from June 12, when the invoice was sent in.
In other court news on Wednesday, a Leadville man who managed to battle a municipal trespassing citation over three court dates spanning three months was found guilty.
Nikos Warrence, 41, was given a six-month deferred sentence. He received the ticket in June after police said he refused to leave the Aspen Homeless Shelter following an argument with an employee.
During the trial, Warrence repeatedly tried, without much luck, to bring up evidence and statements regarding two out-of-county judges he says are orchestrating malfeasance against him.
At court dates in August, September and on Wednesday, Warrence questioned shelter employees, police officers and a county communications dispatcher about what happened on June 10.
One officer testified that when he arrived at the center, after staff called police, Warrence was railing against billionaires on Red Mountain and that he made no motion to leave when told he'd be arrested if he didn't do so.
Municipal Judge Brooke Peterson ordered Warrence to stay away from the homeless shelter and stay out of trouble for six months to avoid violating the deferred sentence.

Adjusting to climate change will be costly for the state of Vermont, but scientists say the cost of inaction will be greater and even dangerous.
Researchers from the University of Vermont released a report Tuesday detailing the impacts of climate change on Vermont. The report aims to translate the scientific certainty of climate change into a grim forecast that is expected to worsen over the next century.
The researchers say Vermont must stop heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions from entering the atmosphere by advancing renewable energy development and using less energy. The state must also prepare for existing climate-related threats by redesigning its vulnerable infrastructure and economy.
The report, Vermont Climate Assessment, models the Obama administration's neatly package National Climate Assessment released in May. The findings include:
• Vermont's temperatures are projected to rise up to 3.6° F by 2050 and 5.4° F of by 2100. The chances of record-breaking high temperature extremes will continue to increase.
• Precipitation will continue to increase over the next century, especially in mountainous regions. First, it will come as snow, but winter precipitation will then shift to rainfall.
• Pest infestations will continue to disrupt the state's agrarian economy. New viral diseases carried by ticks and mosquitoes will threaten public health.
• Energy demand will increase 0.7 percent annually through 2030. To make matters worse, major storm events will continue to damage energy infrastructure such as poles and wires.
The report carries a sobering long-term forecast for the state, but the next few decades may actually be good for the state's tourism and agrarian economy. The report projects more snowfall for skiing, longer fall foliage seasons and longer growing seasons suited for growing warm-weather crops such as grapes and peaches.
However, the report finds that climate change will quickly turn costly and dangerous — heavy downpours, ice storms and flooding will grow stronger and continue to damage the state's infrastructure.
But this is nothing new. In the past four years, the state has filed nine requests for disaster declarations with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the vast majority of which were related to flooding. Heavy rains, downpours and flooding also carry nutrients that are polluting the state's waters. And last winter's ice storm left thousands without power.
Policy solution: cut greenhouse gas emissions
The report says one way to clear up these gloomy predictions is to reduce heat-trapping carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere. This means using less energy – through efficiency and behavioral changes – and moving off fossil fuels and onto renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.
"Beyond the next few decades, the amount of climate change will still largely be determined by choices society makes about emissions," the report says. "While Vermont does not have a remotely significant effect on global greenhouse emissions, it is in a position to demonstrate the effectiveness of various systemic changes in reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions."
Echoing a national chorus led by Obama administration, Gov. Peter Shumlin is taking an "all-of-the-above" approach to climate change. That means building out the state's renewable energy infrastructure as fast as possible – including industrial-scale wind and solar – and accepting natural gas as a bridge off of fossil fuels, he said.
"If this planet is going to be livable for our kids and grand-kids, we can't move fast enough to harness all-of-the-above," Shumlin said at an unrelated news conference Tuesday.
Vermont this year was ranked first in the nation for the number of solar energy jobs per capita. And Vermont, though it is the second-smallest state in the U.S., leads the country with the lowest carbon emissions from electricity generation.
Vermont officials hope to meet 90 percent of the state's energy demand with renewables by 2050. Right now, only 16 percent of the state's energy consumption comes from renewable sources. To meet the target, more electricity must be generated in Vermont, state officials say.
"There is a sea change going on," Shumlin said. "We've moved from big generation out there that we never see and we never hear to power that's going to be generated in our backyards or in our homes."
The largest, and perhaps most controversial, example of the state taking responsibility for its power demands is Green Mountain Power's 21-turbine Lowell Mountain wind farm in the Northeast Kingdom.
The project cleared 135 acres of mountaintop forests (through GMP paid to conserve 2,800 acres elsewhere) and was the stage for dozens of protesters who attempted to block construction.
"Any way you generate electricity, there is going to be impacts," GMP spokesperson Dotty Schnure said during a tour of the wind farm Wednesday.
Nonetheless, state regulators approved the $165 million project, and it now generates enough power to electrify 24,000 homes, GMP says.
"In balance, [the Public Service Board's] decision was that this project would be in the public good," Schnure said.
The company is also leading a charge to make Rutland the "solar capital" of the region. The rapid development of ground-mounted solar panels atop the area's agrarian landscape led lawmakers to consider legislation this year to give towns the ability to stop these projects.
Behavioral solution: use less
In addition to the state's progress on expanding renewable energy, residents must change their behavior to use less energy, the reports says. That means driving less, monitoring their energy consumption, purchasing energy-efficiency appliances and making lifestyle changes.
"Understanding mechanisms that can increase energy efficiency and conservation behaviors are central to this challenge. Policy decisions that leverage an understanding of behavior change could profoundly support this mitigation effort," the report states.
David Blittersdorf, president of AllEarth Renewables Inc., the state's largest renewable energy developer, agrees that Vermont must build out "massive amounts of solar and wind" to replace fossil fuels.
But this is not enough, he said. People need to drive less and conserve. And one way to make sure this happens is to put a price on carbon emissions, he said.
"At the end of the day, we need to tax carbon at a very high level – at $100 a ton or more – to actually get people to change," he said. "People don't change without hitting their pocketbook."
The Vermont Climate Assessment was written by scientists and graduate students at the University of Vermont. The researchers collaborated with state experts, meteorologists, state businesses, farmers and nonprofit organizations.

IDG research shows iPad's business dominance
A new study by IDG shows that not only are iPads becoming a powerful tool for business, but that Apple's tablets are increasingly replacing notebook computers in the office. The study, titled "iPad for Business Survey" is a detailed and colorful look at trends surrounding the iPad worldwide.
The 16-page PDF (click here to download) includes some facts about iPad adoption in business that are fascinating. As you might expect, a high percentage of professionals said that they "always" use the iPad for web browsing, reading, and news consumption. A surprising number -- about 16 percent -- say that the iPad has completely replaced their office laptop, with a whopping 54 percent saying that the tablet has partly re

The Knicks haven't had three players on the All-Star team in the same season since 1994, when Charles Oakley, Patrick Ewing and John Starks were named to the squad.
If the Knicks want to get three on the team this year, they will need the Eastern Conference coaches to vote in two Knicks to join Carmelo Anthony in Houston on Feb. 17.
The two strongest candidates are Tyson Chandler and J.R. Smith.
Below, we break down the situation surrounding each player and offer a prediction on the coaches' vote. The reserves will be announced on Thursday.
The situation: Somehow, the Knicks center has never been to an All-Star game. He has put up All-Star numbers this year, leading the NBA in field goal percentage (67 percent) and putting up 12.4 points, 11 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game.
Interestingly, Chandler is fourth among Eastern Conference centers in player efficiency rating, a metric created by John Hollinger to measure a player's per-minute production. Brook Lopez, Andre Drummond and Anderson Varejo are in front of him. Lopez is the only candidate for voters, though. (Drummond doesn't start, and Varejo is hurt.)
The prediction: Chandler gets the nod, based on what he's done this season and because the 11-year veteran and two-time Olympian has never been an All-Star.
The situation: You can make an argument that Smith is the most valuable Knick not named Carmelo Anthony, given the team's reliance on Smith with Anthony out. (Chandler and Jason Kidd would also be in the conversation.)
Smith has scored when the Knicks needed it -- a five-game stretch of 20-plus points in January comes to mind -- and has rebounded, shared the ball and been fantastic on defense.
But is it enough to get voted into the All-Star game? (Smith is not on the official ballot, but coaches can still vote him in.)
Smith may be hurt because he's not a starter, and because he has had some poor shooting nights.
The prediction: I think Smith deserves to be an All-Star, but I don't see the coaches voting him in.
He has a strong PER (16.17, sixth among Eastern Conference shooting guards). But the coaches may lean toward Kyrie Irving and Jrue Holliday. Each ballot from the East coaches must have two guards, three front-court players and two wild cards. Maybe Smith gets in as a wild card, but there are others (Paul George, Brook Lopez, Josh Smith) with strong candidacies.
Question: Do you think Chandler and Smith deserve to be voted in as All-Star reserves?

Washington, D.C. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Justice Department announced late Monday that The Pep Boys -- Manny, Moe & Jack -- will pay $5 million in civil penalties and take corrective measures to settle claims that it violated the Clean Air Act by importing and selling motorcycles, recreational vehicles and generators manufactured in China that do not comply with environmental requirements.
Baja, which supplied the non-compliant vehicles to Pep Boys, is also settling with the United States.
"Under this settlement Pep Boys and Baja will not only pay a civil penalty, but will offset the excess emissions from the vehicles and engines already sold and take steps that go beyond what the law requires to ensure that their future imports and sales meet Clean Air Act standards," said Ignacia S. Moreno, Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division.
This is the largest vehicle and engine importation case brought by the United States to date under the Clean Air Act.
The complaint alleges that Pep Boys and Baja imported and sold at least 241,000 illegal vehicles and engines from 2004 through 2009.

Published on Sep 20, 2011 Editor's Pick Butchery gets a burlesque theme in a series of posters created by six students from Miami Ad School during a 10 week stint at Rosetta in New York. The work was created a pro bono effort to help upstate NY locavore butcher Fleisher's open its second location, in Brooklyn's Park Slope, and draw attention to its delivery service. The students, from Venezuela, Brazil, India and the US, worked with and competed against volunteer teams from Rosetta's own creative group in what the agency calls a 'greenhouse' session, to develop the marketing strategy, campaign ideas and online, social, mobile, environmental, poster and event/stunt executions to support the official September opening of the store. The poster campaign uses pun and double entendre to show that Fleisher's is committed to 'revealing all' - ie. being transparent with its customers about the origins of its meat. One poster ad, showing a chicken in lingerie, carries the headline 'Sultry Poultry' and declares, 'We love our breasts all natural.'

Vringo (VRNG), together with its subsidiaries, develops, acquires, licenses, protects and monetizes intellectual property worldwide. This stock closed up 1.9% to $3.62 in Wednesday's trading session.
Wednesday's Range: $3.45-$3.64
52-Week Range: $2.61-$5.45
Wednesday's Volume: 1.56 million
Three-Month Average Volume: 2.09 million
From a technical perspective, VRNG jumped modestly higher here right above its 200-day moving average of $3.36 and its 50-day moving average of $3.51 with decent upside volume. This spike higher on Wednesday is starting to push shares of VRNG within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if VRNG manages to take out Wednesday's intraday high of $3.65 and then once it clears some near-term overhead resistance at $3.69 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in VRNG as long as it's trending above its 200-day at $3.36 or above $3.20 and then once it sustains a move or close above $3.65 to $3.69 with volume that hits near or above 2.09 million shares. If that breakout materializes soon, then VRNG will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $4.27 to $4.49. Any high-volume move above those levels will then give VRNG a chance to tag its 52-week high at $5.45.

An extra point in overtime by Woodstock Freshman, Nikolai Davis is the difference in a Wasps 20-19 win over Mill River in the Division 3 State Title game at Rutland High School. The Championship is the third straight for top seeded Woodstock and the Wasps state best winning streak is extended to 31 games.
In overtime, both teams get a chance to score from the 10 yard line. Mill River got the ball first and scored on a Dan Blanchard 15 yard run. The extra point was blocked and the Minutemen only lead 19-13.
Woodstock got the ball back. After a few plays, they had a fourth and goal situation from the one yard line. Oliver Kaija took it in for the score, setting up Davis' game winning kick.
Mill River had a 13-0 lead at halftime. Blanchard scored the first touchdown of the game in the first quarter on a 87 yard run. The second Minutemen touchdown came in the second quarter on a Lincoln Pritchard 53 yard touchdown pass to Mark Goyette.
Woodstock got on the board in the third quarter on a Kaija three yard touchdown run, capping off a 12-play drive. The tying score came with four minutes left in the fourth quarter on a Sam Cole one yard run and Davis extra point.

Beautiful Desktop Tetris Stackable Light Set
Tetris is one of those classic video games that's probably the most well known in the world. Even though many years have passed since Tetris was the king of games, memories of playing this game still occupies a place in some of our hearts.
This is one set of lights for the desktop that is designed to look just like Tetris blocks. These blocks, when assembled together in any combination will light up in their unique hues, which will provide warm ambient lighting to a workspace. Not only does it serve as a companion, the light can be assembled to form different patterns according to your mood.
The Tetris-style lamp lights up one-by-one as you add the pieces to the base stack at the bottom. When detached from the bottom base stack, the Tetris light pieces lose their lighting.
An interesting gaming-themed lamp for the desktop which also helps in chasing away boredom by allowing one to change it's form as and when they please.
The Tetris stackable light set measures 7x4x1 inches in size and retails for $59.96 from Amazon.

|Immediately remove Adderall and Adderall XR from the market for safety reasons
|FDA Comment Number :
|Submitter :
|Mr. Dave Lowe
|Date & Time:
|12/09/2005 10:12:11
|Organization :
|Mr. Dave Lowe
|Category :
|Individual Consumer
|Issue Areas/Comments
| There is another petition on Adderall and reference that was originally submitted to he Division of Dockets Management on October 12th, 2005 (2005P-0420) also about Adderall XR. This is posted in light of more safety and efficicy issues of all Adderall products and may explain another petition.
That petitioner in the above petition notes Adderall is d- and l- amphetamine at a 3:1 ratio, and the extended release Adderall XR is a 50:50 ratio of mixed amphetamine salts in protocol 381.107. This would not be an extended release Adderall. The back of an Adderall XR drug ad confirms that data. FDA DDMAC has a complaint on Adderall XR as a marketed product and should have a copy which would show this.
The industry cannot just switch ratios, we have to be told as this is a new drug. In short, FDA cannot approve Adderall at 3:1 and allow this to continue. Adderall has no XR, XR has no Adderall and may explain the referenced petition seeking bioequivalency.
That is not extended release Adderall as the amphetamine salts are of a different ratio. 50% of the active ingredient is going up or down and can harm people. There is a Public Health Adivsory on Sudden Unexplained Death with Adderall products.
In short, you can't approve an Adderall IR approved at a 3:1 ratio, and then have an Adderall XR ratio change to 50:50.
Please remove all generic and brand Adderall Products from the market for safety and efficacy reasons.
I am neutral on my own petition as a potential conflict, however support above.

Hastings Vacation Packages
Hastings is approximately 120 miles (193 kilometers) from Detroit, a a well-known city in the United States of America.
While it may be tempting to just kick back and relax when vacationing in Hastings, remember, the surrounding region's diverse natural sights, cities and towns lie just beyond your doorstep. Two places in the vicinity of Hastings are Richland, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the northeast, and Augusta, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the north.
Approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers) to the southwest of Hastings is Kalamazoo, an important regional city where you'll find Gilmore Car Museum, Kalamazoo Valley Museum and Kalamazoo Institute of Arts. Should you have the time, consider checking out Western Michigan University, Waldo Stadium and Milham Park Golf Club before you head back to Hastings.
If the weather isn't that great, plan a trip to Southwest Michigan's art galleries.
Pack your own gear or rent it locally, and make the most of the region's water sports. Boating is a good activity to try. Another one is canoeing.
If you intend on arriving and departing by plane, take into account that the most convenient major airport is Gerald R. Ford International Airport, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the northwest of Hastings.

Michael A. Fletcher of the Washington Post has a little snippet of a story so full of hyperbole about how wonderful and "crystallizing" so-called "Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan has been for the country that unintentional comedy is the result -- that or it raises a collective groan for its slobbering sycophancy. He so outlandishly exaggerates the impact of the "antiwar hero" and her protégé in "Camp Casey" that it just boggles the mind. Seems like Fletcher is far from a disinterested "journalist" but has succumbed to outright hero worship here.
I say "little snippet" of a story because it is one of those entries containing several short snippets of political news, the Sheehan story being one of them. But, befitting Fletcher's obviously smitten condition with "grieving mother" Sheehan, it is the largest entry in the article.
Let us start with the overawed first paragraph.
It was just two years ago that Cindy Sheehan pierced the national consciousness with her roadside vigil near President Bush's Texas ranch in protest of the Iraq war.
"Pierced the national consciousness?" How is that for over the top, eh? About all Sheehan has "pierced" is her own reputation as she went on to associate with every dictator, anti-American and subversive leftist organization out there.
Fletcher doesn't get any less absurd as he continues.
Several thousand demonstrators came to Crawford to join Sheehan in 2005, capturing the international media spotlight and seemingly crystallizing the antiwar movement. Before long, Sheehan was transformed from a grieving mother moved to protest by the loss of her son in Iraq into a globe-trotting antiwar hero. Eventually banned from the roadside, she bought five acres of land to serve as a base for future protests, dubbing it Camp Casey after her son.
"Crystallized," and "hero?" Fletcher is inventing a whole new level to the small number of protesters that Sheehan ever had at her self-servingly named "Camp Casey." Except for early in its history, the place has never garnered more than a few hundred at a time. Far from a Mecca of the protest movement as Fletcher tries to make it out. It has quickly been forgotten and is now easily ignored.
Fletcher goes on to highlight a Canadian who has become the new camp follower who has replaced the too busy Sheehan at "Camp Casey." A fellow oddly named Carl Rising-Moore, an aging hippie turned camp seat warmer has replaced the famous "peace mom" and is doing his bang-up, darndest to make the often ignored spot of grass relevant.
Fletcher regales us about how Rising-Moore has "studied" Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. and hopes to "preach the power of non-violence."
Tell that to the suicide bombers of radical Islam, Mr. Rising-Moore? (I think I am missing something with this hyphenated name deal. I thought only women hyphenated their names? Someone please tell me what self-respecting man would do this... or is this a British or French thing?)
In any case, the unnoticed efforts of Rising-Moore aside, Fletcher ends his piece with a bit of political analysis that seems months out of date.
Despite the quiet existence, Rising-Moore feels that Camp Casey has been a success. And who's to argue: When Bush returns to Washington, the biggest issue he is likely to confront is congressional pressure to withdraw from Iraq, as public sentiment has swung decidedly against the war.
Far from finding any "pressure to withdraw from Iraq," Bush is likely to return to the issue being pushed to the back burner by the Democrat Party who is still trying to figure out what to do about their many failures to pass any censures of Bush-Cheney, their failures to pass any non-binding resolutions to get out of Iraq early, and the success that the surge has so far seen. At this time, the Bush doctrine is holding its own and the Democrat cut-and-run policy is seeing hard times.
I certainly hope that Fletcsher isn't paid real money for his political acumen at the Washington Post?
One thing is certain; the anti-war "movement" can count on Michael A. Fletcher to shill for them any time.

EMI's ink is still drying on Apple's cloud music licensing agreement, nearly a month after Warner Music jotted on the dotted line. That's two out of the big four and the remaining big dogs (Sony and Universal) should be whipping out their pens in the next few weeks. Apple will be coming in third place behind Google and Amazon in the cloud music game, but its ace-in-the-hole licensing agreements should allow users' iTunes databases to be scanned instantly, with Apple providing the streamed tunes. Less hassle, more listening. No word on pricing or any other details as of yet, but all eyes will be on the WWDC stage come the 6th of June as Apple encourages us all to stick our heads (and ears) in to the clouds.
Apple bags EMI deal for cloud-based iTunes
With only weeks until Apple's developer conference, the final parts of Apple's cloud music jigsaw are falling into place
