Fox's president of sales Jon Nesvig, the longest-serving chief sales executive at any broadcast or cable channel often referred to as "the dean of network sales executives," announced he will retire at the end of the year after a 40-year career in the media business, the last 21 spent at Fox. "For the last 5 years I've used every trick I could think of to get Jon to stay," said Tony Vinciquerra, Chairman and CEO, Fox Networks Group. "But when we discussed it recently and he said it was time, I had no arguments left. For over 20 years he's given us his very best, and now it's time to share him with his wife, Hanneke, the girls and his grandkids." Added Nesvig, "It's been an incredible run, but it's time to call it a day. I've been extremely fortunate to work in an exciting industry and to deal with many very talented people, both as co-workers and clients. Now I'm looking forward to enjoying my grandchildren and trying to improve my golf game." Nesvig joined Fox as SVP sales in 1989 when the network was only programming 2 nights a week. Before that, he spent 15 year as VP at NBC. This is the second veteran head of sales at the broadcast networks to exit over the past year. ABC's president of sales and marketing Mike Shaw exited at the end of last year after 20 years at Disney and 10 as ABC sales president.

The clock you hear ticking is on Mike Pilot… he's dead man walking at NBCU as soon as Comcast closes.
Really raises the question, along with the carriage battle, of if Fox/News Corp can bite the bullet and become a subscription oriented company as opposed to an advertising based company. They have some great cable assets but they are still not in the league of NBCU and Disney.

It's funny. As reports of the demise of the bookstore — and, indeed, the paper-and-ink book itself — increase, hipsters are embracing the book as an art form. Not as something to read, but something to carve — literally. Really, we've seen skulls carved from old books, art stamped on their pages, shelves built on their backs. A coffee bar made of books; a rug, for crying out loud. We love art, but we'll be honest: Book art makes us cringe. Is it really time to call it a day when it comes to the book? Have we forgotten what books are actually for?
There's one place (two, if CHB's plans for a Central Phoenix spot come to fruition) where the book still is alive and well — and flying off the shelves, thank you very much. It's not for lack of a lot of hard work on the part of the owners, staff, and community that loves Changing Hands, and it's not for nothing that this bookstore embodies all the best qualities of our favorite book shops across the country. Not only will you find an educated staff and a wide selection, this spot serves as a community gathering place for metropolitan Phoenix, with readings from nationally acclaimed, famous authors, as well as first-time locals. And, hey, before you decide to arrange those old books by color in a decorative (and never-to-be-disturbed) artistic display, or make them into shelves for your Kindle, iPad, and Nook, consider selling them back to Changing Hands and buying new ones. The paper-and-ink kind. A novel idea.
There are three factors that contribute to a good shot of espresso — beans, machine, and barista. If even one of the pieces of that trifecta is off, your shot of espresso can suffer. Luckily, the boys behind Scottsdale Quarter's Press Coffee Roasters have the process down. Created with their bold house-roasted Twitch Espresso Blend and pulled by their talented baristas off their top-of-the-line Synesso espresso machine, the end result is a perfectly balanced earthy shot of espresso with hints of sweet fruit, notes of chocolate, and a slightly smoky finish.A great way to start the day — or make sure it doesn't start too early.
Great coffee starts with high-quality beans, and the folks at Cartel score only the best from Brazil for their impressive Black Market Espresso. The four-bean blend is sourced from a single high-elevation farm in the Sul de Mina region of Brazil, where it goes through its natural pulping process on-site before it is shipped off the farm. Cartel then roasts these beans to perfection, creating a bold-flavored coffee with citrus and chocolate notes and a dash of sweetness.
We were sold on this quaint and cozy coffee shop the second that designer-turned-barista Pat Flanagan opened the doors of his freshly remodeled spot last spring. The warm interior and interesting artwork begs you to take a few minutes out of your day to stay and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee (beans courtesy of Lux). But Carmel's isn't just a coffee house — it serves a full menu of delicious breakfast and lunch treats. Fresh-baked quiches, scones, and muffins, flaky croissant sandwiches, and even crepes are available. When the weather permits, Carmel's has plenty of patio space to savor your coffee while watching traffic go by on Camelback.
All of the sudden, there's a lot of coffee competition on Roosevelt Row. But for us, there's no contest. Fresh house-roasted beans, an in-house bakery, an omelet bar, and a beautiful selection of rotating artwork are just a few reasons why Lola is our go-to downtown coffee shop. Artisan coffee roaster and latte art fanatic Daniel Wayne has created a laid-back atmosphere with a welcoming demeanor — and some of the best whipped cream in town. The espresso-infused whip gives Lola's coffee drinks a sweet and creamy kick. Try the dark chocolate and orange Café Borgia or the coffee shop's almost famous Matador.
Crepes and coffee go together like peanut butter and jelly, David Lee Roth and Van Halen, or vodka and Red Bull. Without one, the other is lonely and incomplete. Thankfully, Cupz N' Crepes is keeping the coffee-and-crepe team together at its Paris-inspired shop in Ahwatukee. Dig into a delicate crepe packed full of sweet Nutella and ripe bananas or the savory Veggie Delight, filled with spinach, tomatoes, and goat cheese. The coffee is always fresh and the bold espresso drinks are expertly crafted. A can't-miss breakfast or lunch stop on the south side of town.

Keith Urban

Queensland's Nashville star Keith Urban delivered upbeat country-rock anthems at the Palais.
Photo: Jesse Marlow
The Palais, St Kilda, February 26
The smell of perfume hung heavily in the air. It was Saturday night in St Kilda, but inside the Palais Theatre it was like being at a country B & S ball. Blokes were well outnumbered by the sheilas, from teenage girls to grandmothers, all dressed up and jittery with excitement, which broke, as the lights dimmed and the curtain rose, into Beatlemania-like screams.
There he was, Keith Urban, the kid from Caboolture, in a faded black T-shirt and jeans, seated astride a Marshall stack, singing These Are The Days. The girls seated next to us squealed and ran down to the front, waving to Urban as he climbed down to rock out with his band, singing: "These are the days we will remember / Take 'em by the hand, and live your life."
This is what Urban does best, and it has made him a million-selling Nashville star: upbeat, country-rock heartland anthems with a romantic, vaguely optimistic spirit. He is less adept at 1980s-style power ballads: although he resembles Jon Bon Jovi, Urban's tough-guy rock'n'roll numbers, complete with interminable guitar solo heroics, felt dated and plodding.
When Urban hits his raunchy stride, with hits such as You Look Good In My Shirt or Somebody Like You, he has the heartland wrapped round his little finger. It's all as American as apple pie, or Johnny Cougar, yet Urban made the effort to ocker-up his between-songs schtick for his fellow Australians. "Over in the States, I introduce this as my white-trash, trailer-park love song," he said of Homespun Love. "I guess here it's your yobbo, caravan-park love song, with several cartons of Victoria Bitter."
Maybe he didn't know that Victorians drink slabs, not cartons, or maybe he was just disoriented, because he remarked: "It feels like forever since we played in Sydney." If it was a gaffe, he made up for it, with many a "Melbourne" peppering his banter through the two-hour show, climaxing with his reprise of These Are The Days, in which he implored us: "It's 2005, Melbourne - live your life."
The crowd, especially the women, loved it. "The best concert I've ever been to in my life," declared Liz Fletcher, who had driven for two hours from Glenburn with three sisters. "And I've been to quite a few in my time."

A little over a week before the election, Texas Eagle Forum president Cathie Adams, delivered a presentation at a Grassroots America We The People "Call To Action"meeting where she spoke alongside then-candidate Ted Cruz.
Adams' presentation was largely based on Mark Levin's book "Ameritopia" as she set out to explain exactly how "Barack Hussein Obama," as she repeatedly referred to him, was using the so-called "green agenda" as cover to implement Marxism in America. As Adams saw it, talk of "sustainable development" or "social justice" are just code words for Marxism, leading to an odd claim that the conflicts that plague the continent of Africa would end when the people of Africa learn to "turn their hearts toward their creator."
Adams then wondered why people are unwilling to admit that there "is a Marxist in our White House" before declaring that when she saw "someone who thinks so narcissisticly as Barack Hussein Obama [glare] at Mitt Romney in that last debate," it made her "want to go up and just smack his face!"

October 2009 Abstract Supplement
The 2009 ACR/ARHP Annual Scientific Meeting

ADAMTS5 Is a Biomarker for Prediction of the Response to Infliximab in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

To identify a biomarker for prediction of the response to infliximab (INF) in rheumatoid arthritis patients, we focused on a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5 (ADAMTS5) that seems to play a key role in aggrecan degradation in cartilage.
Fourty-four randomly selected active RA patients were treated with INF. Peripheral blood samples were collected at baseline and ADAMTS5 mRNA was quantified using real-time PCR.
Baseline ADAMTS5 mRNA levels in the responder (1.461 ± 0.817) was significantly (p=0.0090) lower than that in the non-responder (2.246 ± 1.350) at 62 weeks' treatment with INF. The DAS28 at 62 weeks' treatment was significantly (p=0.0003) lower in the Low-ADAMTS5 group (2.47 ± 1.50) than in the High-ADAMTS5 group (4.46 ± 1.76). The percent reduction of the DAS28 (%DAS28 reduction) was significantly (p=0.0015) higher in the Low-ADAMTS5 group (52.8 ± 7.25) than in the High-ADAMTS5 group (22.5 ± 5.21). Interestingly, significant correlations were observed between the DAS28 and %DAS28 reduction at 62 weeks (p<0.001; r= 0.56 and -0.60, respectively) and the baseline ADAMTS5 mRNA level. Furthermore, DHAQ, an estimate of the improvement in the HAQ score, at 62 weeks' treatment was significantly (p=0.0305) higher in the Low-ADAMTS5 group (0.70 ± 0.68) than in the High-ADAMTS5 group (0.25 ± 0.35). The positive predictive value of a low baseline ADAMTS5 level for predicting good response and remission (DAS28<2.6 at 62 weeks) was 80.0% and 73.3%, respectively.
The baseline ADAMTS5 mRNA level is a candidate biomarker for prediction of the response to INF in RA patients.

Metal Detectors to Get That Rare Find
Jessica Deets
The first metal detector was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in the year 1881, just after the invention of telephone in 1876. Later, Fischer came out with a portable one in the year 1931. Today, metal detectors are used in many fields starting from treasure hunt to security purposes.
These are electronic devices and are used to locate signs of metal. It is used to search on the ground, people or goods. The materials can be on the ground may be a piece of iron, aluminum, etc or it can even indicate buried metal could be anything from discarded pieces of aluminum to buried resources. These detectors can penetrate various non-metallic substances like soil, wood, sand, etc.
Metal detectors have electronic boxes with a battery case on one end and a handle for the operative's arm on the other. It has a coil made of insulated wire wound around a telescoping shaft that is inside a plastic disk. The device is held parallel to the ground due to the angle at which the disk comes out of the shaft. The electronic box is held in the hand, the power is put on and the coil end is slowly swept over the ground. If the trace of metal is there on or buried in the ground, an electronic beep is heard when the device sweeps the ground.
The discovery of Electromagnetism was by Hans Christian Oersted in the year 1820. It is the science of combined effect of electric and magnetic field. As stated in wikipedia, Electromagnetism is the science of the electromagnetic field. That is, a field, surrounding all of space, which exerts a force on those particles that possess the property of electric charge, and is in turn affected by the presence and motion of such particles.
This principle of electromagnetism is on which the Metal detectors work. Since the metals are good conductor of electricity and magnetism, the electromagnetism affects on them. Magnetic field is generated in this device through the transmitter (high-powered coil), getting power from the battery attached. When this electromagnetic field penetrates the ground the metals tend to get charged with magnetism. When this happens the coil detects the electromagnetic behaviour and sends a signal to the electronic box. The speaker attached to the electronic box beeps and the operator hears it and comes to know of the presence of metal. The latest detectors comprises of microprocessors in the electronic box that can give you the type of metal present. It can measure the time between charging of metal and the receiving the beep that concludes the type of metal and this length of time is known as phase shift. There are adjustments in the device when searching for a particular kind of metal.
There are 3 types of metal detectors following 3 different technologies:
1. Beat Frequency Oscillator: Such detectors have a coil acting as an inductor inside an oscillator. With frequency change there is a change in inductance. There is a second oscillator that generates a close frequency. The beeps heard between them indicate the presence of metal.
2. Induction Balance Detector: This type has 2 coils that overlie each other. One sends waves and the other receives. The two are kept adjusted so that when there is absence of metal they do not indicate or beep.
3. Pulse Induction Detector: This type produces pulses by putting off an indicator. A coil sends the pulse and the detector searches for echos.
If you have a metal detector, I wish you luck in finding all kinds of treasures. You never know what "rare find" you'll come up with, and it's fun to look.

The slogan of ABC News was once, "More Americans get their news from ABC News than from any other source." Now, not a single ABC News show leads its time slot.
What happened? ABC News President David Westin spent the past 13 years running the network news division into the ground.
Westin announced Tuesday that he was resigning (the PC term for getting fired) at the end of the year. His internal resignation email was a lame effort to leave his legacy on the network.
"Over the last nine months, we've put in place new anchors on all of our programs. At the same time, we went through a very difficult transformation made necessary by changes in our business and its economics," the email said. "I am confident ABC News is better positioned for the future than it has been at any time since I came here in March of 1997."
Westin may be confident, but he's dead wrong. The news division has been decimated since he arrived during the ides of March.

Mount Pleasant, Titus County, Texas
East Texas is old country. The earliest American settlers in Texas made it their. They felled the great trees, plowed bottoms and hills, worked, loved, lived, and died in this ancient land.
Before them were the Indians - The Caddos - and before the Caddos other people, forever shrouded in the midst of time. For thousands of years man has called this green rolling country his home. The streams and lakes, the endless forest, the warm climate, the bountiful rains, it is a land that beckons. It has always been so.
In the heart of Northeast Texas is the town of Mount Pleasant, founded May 11, 1848. John Binion, Sr., Richard Moore, and L. Gilbert laid off a forty-eight block town site to serve as county seat for Titus County, which was created by a legislative act on May 11, 1846. Titus County was named for pioneer resident, Andrew Jackson Titus (1814-1855), the man who opened the county's first road to the river port in Jefferson.
Caddo Indian legend credits the name of the city to mounds in and near the original town site - mounds constructed by a prehistoric race. Red mineral springs had always attracted Indians to the area and nearby a great mound became famous among the Caddos. They called it in their language, "Pleasant Mound". Early American settlers took up the name, calling the general area Pleasant Mount, then finally Mount Pleasant.
The Caddo Indians were one of the first to appreciate the natural beauty and living conveniences of this area, for it was here that they made their home. Village sites and burial grounds of these Texas Indians have been located in numerous places in Titus County, on Ripley Creek, Harts Creek, Blundell Creek, Swannano Creek, and at Dellwood Park. Titus County was, perhaps, the last home of Indians in the Northeast Texas area. Caddo Indians were resident to this area as late as 1845.
Mount Pleasant grew steadily in the 1800's. In addition to farming, the economy centered around the large supply of hardwood trees. Land prices were quoted at two to ten dollars per acre. The town's population rose from 227 in 1850 to over 3,000 by 1900. By the twentieth century, truck farming had become commercially significant. In addition, an old pottery, founded during the Civil War, had moved to Mount Pleasant. In time it became one of the largest industries of its kind in the state. The opening of lignite coal mines also added to the economy.
Until after the Civil War, Titus County also included present-day Franklin and Morris Counties. High waters along the creeks and the Sulphur River often halted travel in the early years. Record time to haul cotton to Jefferson was 5 days by ox wagon.
In 1861, Titus County voted in favor of secession. During the Civil War the county furnished approximately 3,000 fighting men to the Confederate Army. Some of them fought and died on battlefields whose names still haunt the American past: Shiloh, Gettysburg, Chicamauga.
At home, tables drew heavily on game foods during the war years (deer, wild turkey, pigeon, bear). The county furnished the Confederate commissary with beef, butter, corn, rice, cotton, oats, sweet potatoes, flour, cornmeal, leather, lumber, pottery, tobacco, whiskey, and wool. Wartime manufacturing plants included 9 sawmills, 8 gristmills, 7 tanneries, and a steam powered distillery.
Mount Pleasant had a Confederate transportation depot employing blacksmiths, carpenters, harness makers, and wheelwrights. It procured equipment, horses and mules, and fashioned harnesses and wagons for the purpose of moving men, army supplies and government owned cotton.
In the aftermath of the Civil War, Mount Pleasant had to suffer the fate of the defeated. Reconstruction meant an army of occupation with local officials appointed by a radical Republican governor. The numerous Civil War grave markers in cemeteries all over the county and the statue of the Confederate soldier on the square, facing north in memory of those who did not return, attest to the fact that Mount Pleasant's young men eagerly participated.
Reconstruction ended by the late 1870's and once again the citizens of Titus County and Mount Pleasant gained control of their governments. Elections were held and duly elected officials took over and conditions improved.
More often, the returning veteran found farms which had been neglected for the four long years of the war. In about two years most farms were back to normal production with cotton "king" once again.
The town square in Mount Pleasant was usually heavy with wagon traffic as farmers came to town, tied their teams to the hitching rail on the square and spent the day taking care of their business. The merchants they did business with would let them have credit with a mortgage on the farmer's crop.
Mount Pleasant and Titus County were "pioneers" in good roads. In the latter part of the 19th century rural roads were frequently impassable so efforts were made for improvement. With the growing popularity of the automobile there had to be better roads. Men were called to do road work for a specified time just as they might be called to jury duty. By 1925 there were seventy miles of improved roads in the county, with over one million dollars spent in their improvement annually. Street and road improvement sped up as the Texas Highway Department appeared on the scene.
Education was never neglected, even in the early days. There were privately supported grade schools in Mount Pleasant the year of its founding, 1848. By 1959, the town also had a "male academy". The Masonic Lodge played an important role in establishing the first school in Mount Pleasant. The first graduation, which was a class of six girls, took place in 1906. Mount Pleasant schools have continued to be among the best in Northeast Texas.
With the railroad coming to the area, Mount Pleasant continued to progress even more. Mount Pleasant acquired its first railroad in 1878, the "Tyler Tap", a three foot gauge line. The Texas & St. Louis Railway Company acquired the Tyler Tap in 1879 and during the next few years connected with a through line from St. Louis to Waco, Texas. In 1887 a branch line was built from Mount Pleasant to Sherman, Texas. Some years later, the Paris and Mount Pleasant Railway Company gave the region still another rail outlet. All entered into helping Mount Pleasant become the "Hub of Northeast Texas." Mount Pleasant entered the 20th century still a rural community, but with hopes for a bright future.
Early in the 20th century an attempt was made to establish Dellwood as a health spa. From 1900-1910 Mount Pleasant also flourished as a pleasure resort and health spa thanks to the development of Dellwood Park and its mineral springs. A motor-driven trolley, on wooden rails, provided transportation from East 1st Street to the area which had a hotel and a swimming pool. The motor-powered trolley soon gave way to mule power. After a flurry of success, the Red Springs Development Company went broke; the hotel burned; and the Dellwood area became a wilderness again.
In 1917, when the United States entered World War I, the young men of Mount Pleasant answered the call to duty and many were sent to the battle fronts of Europe. Eighteen of them failed to return.
The 20th century found the square occupied by many enterprising merchants. They provided a great variety of merchandize that brought shopper from surrounding towns and counties. The square was an attractive setting with the courthouse as the center. The courthouse has undergone many changes through the years. It collapsed in 1867 and was replaced by another brick building which was destroyed by fire in 1894. It was rebuilt on the same foundation the following year, and then it was remodeled in 1940 and again in 1962.
During the depression in 1934, camps were established in various section to train and give employment to young men out of work. Civilian Conservation Camp number 2886 was established in Mount Pleasant on Edwards Avenue just opposite of the municipal water tower. The Works Progress Administration and the Public Works Administration also provided many jobs in the area.
December 7, 1941, shocked the people of Mount Pleasant but not for long as they quickly moved into wholehearted support of the war effort. The young men of the community enlisted and served in every branch of the service, many of them receiving medals for acts of bravery. It is recorded that sixty-seven men from this county lost their lives during the war.
During the past forty years, Mount Pleasant has continued to thrive and expand. Its schools and churches are outstanding; Dellwood Park has been developed into a great recreational area; many industries and businesses have helped to give our economy a tremendous boost. The Titus County Memorial Hospital and numerous doctors in almost every field of medicine have helped make mount Pleasant a medical center. The Civic center, provided by the citizens of Mount Pleasant and using no tax dollars, is a great addition to our community. The most recent accomplishment by the people of Mount Pleasant and the surrounding area was the establishment of Northeast Texas Community College, which was an immediate success.

The weather has been sunny rather than stormy lately, much to the delight of adorable kitten Nacho.
That's because storms stress this little feline out.
She was nominated for Pet of the Day by Glenn Nattrass from Beckenham.
While hating bad weather, eight-month-old Nacho likes ice-cream, catching flies and playing with bubbles.

Chris Meloni Joins the Shirtless Hunks of 'True Blood' (PHOTOS)
Thankfully, his character Alan Ball only made fans wait three episodes.
It's only fair that Meloni, 51, had to undress Sunday night since series regulars Alexander Skarsgard, Ryan Kwanten and Stephen Moyer spend the better part of each hour-long episode showing some skin.
You will see no complaints about that here.
Take a look at the shirtless hunks of True Blood in the photo gallery above. Plus, see more of a naked Skarsgard in the clip below.

An excellent well rounded tour. Seeing Moscow and St. Petersburg should be on everyone's list to see. But the home stay portion of this trip is really what made the experience a genuine and delicious part experience. Back warm to see Father Frost and enjoy every part of the beautiful winter and Russian landscape.

Review Northwestern University
I attended Northwestern because of the music program and the professor I would be working with. My professor was amazing, and so was the music program as a whole. I was able to pursue a double major with an outside field, and while it was difficult and busy, the administration helped me every quarter by allowing me to take extra classes to finish on time. The campus is beautiful, but there is always construction. It is not a huge party school, but there are parties and lots of other ways to have fun. I loved the proximity to Chicago and the public transit system. Overall, I liked the student body. There was a general hard work ethic, and though my majors weren't particularly competitive, I know there were some that were fairly cut-throat. The mental health services can be improved upon, but I felt that NU was a very accepting, diverse, and progressive school overall. Financial aid was great, and getting better!
Northwestern's defining feature is the unique spirit of camaraderie and collaboration that permeates every element of college life. Northwestern tries to incorporate a lot of group projects and get students active in their studies outside of just coursework and exams through its hundreds of student-run groups.
At Northwestern, you are actively encouraged to take a variety of classes outside your major, and you really get to explore different disciplines. Northwestern has a quarter system, which means that in a given school year you will take about 12-13 courses instead of the semester standard of 10.
Throughout my years here, I have made friends studying every discipline, and they have opened my eyes to a world of knowledge. I encourage anyone with a desire to learn a wealth of information and experience a collaborative learning environment to apply.

I am only a freshman at NU, but even though I have only been here for a few months, I can honestly say that I love this school and the plethora of opportunities it has to offer. Academics here are very rigorous and competitive, but fortunately you are always surrounded by like-minded individuals who share your interests and are determined to be successful. It is not hard to get involved on campus. On weekends, students like to go to a football or basketball game or just hang out at trendy restaurants and cafes in Evanston. There are numerous student groups, sports, and volunteer opportunities so that you may take full advantage of what NU has to offer. The faculty here is great; professors and advisors are very knowledgable and willing to help you out in any way. Keeping up with school, work, and your social life can be hard, I admit, but I am glad I chose Northwestern.

Pressure Cooker Spaghetti Squash
Did you know you can cook spaghetti squash in the pressure cooker? Pressure Cooker Spaghetti Squash cooks quickly, and it's softer and better tasting than cooked in a microwave.
Spaghetti squash is a great alternative to pasta. There are only 42 calories in 1 cup of cooked spaghetti squash, so it's a perfect start to making a hearty, healthy meal that's also low in calories.
I served the spaghetti squash Cincinnati Chili Mac style topped with a quick Black Bean Chili with Chicken Sausage.
Pressure Cooker Spaghetti Squash
- 3 lb. spaghetti squash
- 1 cup water
Cut off the stem end of the squash, cut the squash in half and remove the seeds with a spoon. Add water to the pressure cooker pot. Place the spaghetti squash on a steamer basket or rack in the pot. Cook 8 minutes on high pressure. Use a quick pressure release.
When squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrap the strands of "spaghetti" from the skin.
If you have trouble cutting your squash in half lengthwise, you can also cut it in half in the center, which is usually much easier.
More delicious ways to serve spaghetti squash:

Spaghetti Squash Coconut Custard Pie, Barbara Bakes

Spaghetti Squash with Swiss Chard, Dried Cranberries & Dijon Vinaigrette, Cookin' Canuck

The results of the ADVANCE 2012 Election Survey reveal the political leanings of healthcare workers, with special attention to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The two most important issues affecting a voting decision were the economy/employment and healthcare, according to data submitted online by 3,716 respondents during August. The majority of respondents, 41.15%, plan to vote for Mitt Romney in November, while 39.05% will cast a vote for Barack Obama.
With such close results, the 9.53% of respondents who remain undecided is significant.
The average respondent to the 2012 ADVANCE Election Survey is a white female between the ages of 51 and 60 living in the South. She has worked as a nurse for 30 or more years in a suburban nonprofit hospital. Though she identifies as a democrat, she will vote for Romney on Nov. 6.
Our average respondent is more likely to vote due to the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the ACA and does not believe there should be a federal mandate for health insurance. She expects employment uncertainty in the healthcare sector will stay the same in the upcoming presidential term.
Top Three Issues
When asked what top issues are influencing respondents' votes in the 2012 presidential election, the majority (58.61% or 2,178 respondents) selected the economy and employment as their most important election issue. Healthcare was selected by 22.77% (846 respondents), followed by women's health at 3.34% (124 respondents) and social security at 3.23% (120 respondents). The issues with the fewest responses were foreign policy, gun rights and immigration.
Reaction to ACA
When asked if the Supreme Court decision to uphold the ACA made respondents more likely to vote in November, 67.90% (2,523 respondents) said, "Yes." About one-third of respondents, 32.10% (1,193 respondents) said, "No." The vote was nearly split when asked if the ACA is positive for the U.S. healthcare system's future: 50.65% (1,882 respondents) said, "No," while 49.35% (1,834 respondents) said, "Yes." Another small margin win: The majority (56.24% or 2,090 respondents) believes there should not be a federal mandate for individuals to have health insurance; 43.76% (1,626 respondents) believe there should be federal regulation.
When asked, "Do you expect job uncertainty for healthcare professionals will increase, decrease, or stay the same after the 2012 presidential election?" nearly 46 percent of respondents believe the uncertainty of healthcare's future will stay the same (45.83% or 1,703 respondents) or increase (34.36% or 1,277 respondents). At 19.81% (736 respondents), the least popular response was "decrease."
Political Affiliation
When asked which political party respondents identified with, the majority selected the Democratic Party, at 29.31% (1,089 respondents). In a close second, 28.23% (1,049 respondents) are members of the Republican Party; 27.5% (1,022 respondents) identify as Independent.
Here are the totals for the remainder of political affiliations:
• I prefer not to answer: 9.66% (359)
• Other: 1.8% (67)
• Tea Party Patriot: 1.64% (61)
• Libertarian Party: 1.32% (49)
• Green Party: 0.38% (14)
• Constitution Party: 0.16% (6)
Write-ins for the "other" category include none/no party affiliation, "I vote for the party not the person," varies, and conservative.
When asked which candidate respondents plan to vote for, the majority selected Republican Party candidate and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney at 41.15% (1,529 respondents), despite identifying primarily as democrats. At just under 2 percentage points less, Barack Obama garnered 39.05% (1,451 respondents). In addition, 9.53% (354) of respondents were undecided, and 8.42% (313 respondents) preferred not to answer.
The largest group of respondents to the election survey was nurses with 20.75% (771), followed by nurse practitioners with 16.28%(605), and laboratory professionals with 12.33% (458). Of the 15 professional discipline options we provided, here are the percentage totals of respondents:
• health information: 7.35% (273)
• physical therapist: 6.40% (238)
• other: 6% (223)
• speech pathologist: 5.81% (216)
• occupational therapist: 5.44% (202)
• respiratory therapist: 5.19% (193)
• physician assistant: 4.17% (155)
• health executive/administrator: 3.98% (148)
• imaging and radiation oncology: 3.18% (118)
• sleep medicine: 1.59% (59)

Career Background & Employment Setting
When asked how many years respondents have worked as healthcare professionals, the majority indicated 33 years or more, at 41.01% (1,524). The second largest group of respondents indicated they have worked professionally between 26 and 30 years, at 13.91% (517). In third, 10.58% (393) have worked in healthcare for 16-20 years.
From the 3,716 responses, 46.53% (1,729) identified their primary employment setting as suburban. A metropolitan setting was the second highest, at 32.16% (1,195), while rural areas had the fewest responses, at 21.31% (792).
The majority of respondents, 17.14% (637) work in a nonprofit hospital. Thirteen percent of respondents (495) chose "other" as their employment setting, while 9.63% (358) selected private practice.

• retired: 3.98% (148)
• skilled nursing facility/sub acute care facility: 3.9% (145)
• long term care facility: 3.63% (135)
The majority of respondents to the survey live in the Southern U.S. (38.19% or 1,419). The second largest group selected the Northeast (24% or 892) and the Midwest (24.58% or 802), while 15.55% (578) live in the West. The smallest group of respondents lives in the Pacific (.67% or 25).
Age, Gender, Race
Of the pool of survey respondents, the majority (40.77% or 1,515) are between 51 and 60 years old. The second most common age group is 61 to 70, at 23.55% (875 respondents). Only one respondent is under 21.
The vast majority of respondents are female, comprising 79.66% (2,960). Alternatively, 20.35% (756) identified themselves as male.
In response to the question, "What is your race?" 81.97 percent (3,046 respondents) identified Caucasian. The second most populated response at 4.36% (162 respondents) is African American, and 2.29% (85 respondents) is Hispanic. The remainder of options, including Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, Native American or Alaska Native, and mixed race received fewer than 2% of responses. Finally, 6.84% of respondents preferred not to answer the question.

Polls have suggested New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) hasn't paid too much of a price for his office's bridge scandal, but a new one suggests he's lost ground in a potential 2016 presidential campaign.
A new NBC News/Marist College poll shows Christie trailing Hillary Clinton by 13 points in a prospective 2016 matchup.
Last month, Christie trailed by just three points.
The poll shows Christie continues to lead the field of potential GOP candidates in the primary. His lead in that regard is down slightly from six points to four.
As with any 2016 polling this far out, the results shouldn't be over-analyzed. But they do suggest Christie's appeal has taken a hit -- at least in the near term.


text: Birders, The Snowy Egret found by Don Chalfant today (and also by Roger Kuhlman yesterday; see below), was still present from 3:30pm today until I left, which was at 4:10pm. Note that the location given in the Detroit RBA by Karl O. this morning is incorrect; the location I mention below is correct. Note also that Karl O. cited a 1955 record for the county (August 16 & 19, 1955 by Laurie Binford et. al. in Ypsilanti), making the Chalfant/Kuhlman bird the fifth record for the county. Also note that the Snowy Egret and the 3 - 5 Common Egrets it's hanging with periodically fly to another pond to the northwest of Schneider Rd. pond. The other pond is not visible from the road, and is on private property (as is Schneider Rd. pond). If the bird is not there when you arrive, wait a bit. The bird will most likely return. There's a nice variety of common shorebirds present for you to schlep through while awaiting the piece de la resistance.

Pesek on Asia: China's Questionable Data
Good morning. Here's my take on some of the stories driving the debate in politics, finance and social issues across Asia today:
Are China's latest data too good to be true?
They may indeed be. Somehow, China's economy raced ahead in January at a time when the global economy walked in place, at best, and the central bank clamped down on credit. Also, figures in South Korea and Taiwan suggest Chinese demand for their goods is sliding. China's data are puzzling, to say the least. But are they complete fiction, with China officials returning to their old double-counting ways? As this Quartz analysis points out: "The good news: Last month's Chinese trade data is defying signs of a slowdown in the world's second largest economy. The bad news: the improvement might be completely fraudulent."
Vietnam, the next Silicon Valley?
OK, this mere suggestion sounds like a reach. A communist nation overwhelmingly dominated by state-run enterprises and an education system that impresses few development economists seems an unlikely site for an innovative big bang. This Atlantic piece penned by Elisabeth Rosen challenges the conventional wisdom, shining a favorable spotlight on the Communist Party's multimillion-dollar ambitions to create the world's next technology hub. Should South Korea and Taiwan being watching their backs? Not yet, but stranger things have happened in an increasingly dynamic Asia region.
DeNA's struggle could help Japan.
Starting new companies from the ground up doesn't tend to be part of the collective DNA of the Japanese people. The economy is still about corporate giants at the top, not scrappy entrepreneurs. Yet struggling gaming Web site DeNA is jumping into the world of venture capital, and the timing couldn't be better for Japan. An aversion to risk-taking is just one side of Japan's startup drought; the other is a lack of funding. If DeNA can help fill that void its troubles could be great news for Japan in the long run.
Asia's growth industry: military hardware.
Political satirist Bill Maher joked last year that Kim Jong Un had better watch his step: America's military-industrial complex is looking for its next war and North Korea could be it. Tensions between Japan and China and Japan and South Korea have U.S. defense companies flocking to this region now that business in Baghdad and Kabul is winding down -- a trend Singapore's airshow this week has thrown into stark relief. It should worry Asians that executives at Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon are racing this way with the intensity of heat-seeking missiles. Investors, too.
Is the U.S. betting on Modi ruling India?
The Washington-New Delhi communications lines are ablaze with denials and intrigue over U.S. Ambassador Nancy Powell meeting with Narendra Modi tomorrow. He heads the Bharatiya Janata Party's effort to unseat Sonia Gandhi's Congress party in elections due by May. Modi has been persona non grata with the U.S. since 2005, when Washington revoked his visa amid allegations he bore responsibility for anti-Muslim violence on his watch in the western state of Gujarat in 2002. The U.S. is scotching speculation the meeting is a big deal. But reaching out to Modi, and doing so now, is an intriguing step by the U.S. Perhaps the White House assumes it will soon be dealing with a Modi government in India.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
On 12/10/2011 i went to a store and brought a glass jar.. when at home i went to open it, and taped the bottom of and it burst into right hand.causing the glass to be inbeded in my palm of my hand..i than went to the er.. were they had to perform a emergency surgery to try to repair the nerves.. i still have the glass and i spoke to the store back in 2012.. but i had death in my family,, so i let it go.. now they had contacted my lawyer,,well my negotiator.. after a year later. saying the want settle this thing.. but lawyer talk always in lawyers terms..lol. so you always have to try to read between the lines..well mines do.. i hate that.. thats why i am on this site.. seeking help.. is that a good sign the call a year later? they called. or should i seek a new negotiator?
I do not know what a "negotiator" is in the context you are using it, and I have been practicing in NY for 33 years. You should have an attorney who is knowledgeable about, and skilled in, products liability cases. You do not indicate if you have healed well or not, but if you have permanent damage negotiation will probably not be sufficient.Ask a similar question
He is a lawyer.. but he said my case was not strong enough.. but than i started talking to them speaking.. and a year later they ended up contacted him.. but he said all he will do is neg. for me
So does that mean that might want to do something?
In other words, are you are saying that if he can settle it without commencing an action, he will, and if not, he will not start a lawsuit? You still do not indicate the extent of your injuries. If you want to contact me directly you can do so by email or phone.
i dont have any feeling in some of my fingers,, and yes he will not push forward if he get settle
You need to know the strength of your case then before it goes any further with negotiations, if you have a permanent injury.
Yes i do and 172 stitches i had through out my hand, and i cant even make a fist,, things slip out of my hand
You definitely should not be using an attorney who is not going to pursue the case if negotiations fail. That is not a good way to get adequate compensation.
The best way to ensure that everything is being handled correctly, that you get the maximum possible result, and that you don't miss out on anything you are entitled to, is to consult with and hire an attorney whose practice focuses on personal injury law.Ask a similar question
It isn't clear from your question whether you have hired a personal injury attorney. If you have a non-attorney handling your negotiations, you need to immediately consult with an attorney in New York that has experience in product liability cases. These cases require special knowledge and experts. Initial consultations are usually free. If you already are represented by an attorney you need to address your concerns directly with them. I practice in Indiana and am therefore unfamiliar with any statue of limitations for your type of case in New York.
Merry Fountain is licensed to practice law in Indiana. She can be contacted at 888-242-HURT. This is not legal advice and it does not create an attorney/client relationship. It is legal education intended to provide general information about the matter within the question. If the question does not include important timeframes and facts the answer could change. Merry Fountain strongly advises the questioner to confer with an attorney in your state.Ask a similar question
If you have an attorney schedule an immediate face to face meeting & have the attorney explain everything in non-lawyer language. If you do not have an attorney immediately contact a qualified local personal injury attorney ASAP
This is not intended to be legal advise or as legal representation. I am a California personal injury attorney . Be aware that every state has its own statute of limitations; and statutes & case laws that govern the handling of these matters.Ask a similar question
Discuss the case with a personal injury with product liability experience.
If this answer is helpful, then please mark the helpful button. If this is the best answer, then please indicate it. Thanks. For further information you should see an attorney and discuss the matter completely. If you are in the New York City area, then you can reach me during normal business hours at 718 329 9500 or www.mynewyorkcitylawyer.com.Ask a similar question
If your attorney is someone who routinely handles personal injury and products cases, and you are comfortable with him, then you should consider letting him handle. If personal injury isn't his specialty, you may be better served by hiring a personal injury attorney who is not afraid to try cases. You will have a better chance of maximizing your recovery and/or chances of winning at trial, if necessary.Ask a similar question
Is a negotiator a euphemism for someone practicing law without a license? Anyway, get a real attorney who does PI work. It won't cost you anything, so why mess around? The reason the company may not be settling is that our description is the way NEVER to open a jar, as it may cause an unseen fissure in the glass and then you apply your Herculean strength to it and POP goes the weasel. Unfortunately, you have severe injuries, so you should pursue the matter. But you should not recite details of the accident mechanics on this website. Claims adjusters may be lingering!
If you found this "helpful" or "best answer," please click it with my appreciation. My response is for educational purposes and does not constitute legal advice nor creates an attorney client relationship which requires all the details and a personal conference.Ask a similar question
If you do not have confidence in your attorney, seek a new attorney ASAP before its too late. Do not settle and be unhappy. Find an attorney who you are comfortable with and change lawyers now. Many personal injury attorneys, such as myself, offer free consultations in NYC. Good luck.
The above is general information only and is not legal advice. The information provided does not form an attorney-client relationship, and should not be relied upon to take or refrain from taking any action. I am not your attorney until we sign a retainer agreement.Ask a similar question
Get a top-rated Avvo lawyer so you don't sabotage your claim with this negotiator nonsense.Ask a similar question
get a real lawyer that specializes in personal injury. These cases may require expert evaluation especially if jar was defective and product liability claim is brought. Must be aggressive here and not wait for lawyer you dislike. Get experienced lawyer you like asap.Ask a similar question

Consumer groups are worried that new rules designed to protect people who are buying insurance will not stop them being the victims of the hard-sell of payment protection insurance.
Payment protection (PPI) is an optional type of insurance which is supposed to protect credit card and loan customers who cannot repay their debts because of ill-health or unemployment.
But critics argue the cover is expensive, and say PPI's many exclusions mean it is not suitable for everyone. Self-employed people in particular cannot generally claim on this type of policy.
But despite this complexity, many lenders sell PPI aggressively, and there are concerns that people end up with insurance they do not need or cannot use.
There are voluntary guidelines in place which cover the sale of PPI. But the General Insurance Standards Council does not have the power to enforce them.
Next month GISC disappears, to be replaced by the Financial Services Authority, which will start to regulate all sales of insurance.
But the consumer group Which? has warned that consumers will still have to be on their guard about PPI.
Strict conditions
Under the GISC code, potential customers must be told certain basic information about the policy at the outset.
Angela Darling, head of policy at GISC says this should include "what the main elements of the policy are, what the benefits are and most importantly what any significant exclusions or conditions are.
Mike Naylor, senior researcher at Which? said that unfortunately many banks and credit card companies simply ignore it:
"We have found in the past that companies do not sell these policies properly.
"Payment protection insurance is a very complicated form of insurance. It is not suitable for everyone; it gives limited cover and it is expensive."
OFT investigation
The influential Treasury Select Committee of MPs shares his unease.
A year ago it asked the Office of Fair Trading to investigate the sale of payment protection, and it has continued to discuss the problem with the lenders who appear before it.
However, insurance regulation will change the way PPI is sold.
Before the cover can take effect, customers will have to sign a form saying they have read and understood the terms and conditions.
But Mike Naylor is not convinced that the new rules will go far enough:
"The companies will be able to rely on the fact that someone has signed a piece of paper to say that it is a suitable policy.
"The onus should really lie with the company to ensure that it is the right product."
He said consumers should still be on their guard against the hard-sell.
Unwanted policy
Money Box listener Anna was sold a policy she had explicitly said she did not want. Last month she was called at home by her credit card provider MBNA.
"She wanted to talk to me about a payment protection policy and I said 'I am not interested' [she] just continued telling me about this policy, at which point I said 'I am really not interested thank you very much, goodbye', and I put the phone down."
Anna was therefore shocked to receive a letter a few days later thanking her for getting in touch with MBNA and confirming that her new cover was in place.
She managed to cancel the policy before she was charged for it, but she is angry that the insurance was taken out in the first place.
MBNA told Money Box Anna's case was "an exception". It has apologised for the error and is investigating what happened.
The bank added that normally if a customer does want payment protection, they will be asked relevant questions to find out if it is suitable and told how much it costs.
But Money Box has highlighted concerns about the way MBNA sells these policies in the past.
Back in May, the programme featured Andrew from Greenford. He felt he had been misled into taking out PPI because it was implied that the policy was free.
On that occasion MBNA told Money Box it was satisfied that the call had been conducted in an appropriate manner.
BBC Radio 4's Money Box was broadcast on Saturday, 4 December, 2004 at 1204 GMT.
The programme was repeated on Sunday, 5 December, November, at 2102 GMT.

Since the items are still quite expensive, my picks from this sale are Theory's most classic items in their popular "Tailor" fabric. They make new items in this fabric season after season, so it's the perfect choice for an investment suit. The suit is currently available in 4 colors:
1. Gabe B. Blazer in sz 00
2. Max C trouser pants in sz 00 (view here on AN post-alterations)
3. Betty Sheath Dress in sz 0 (view here on DiaryofaShopper and here again styled differently - #15)
And just for fun, a slim work pant that I loved here on Stylepint: Theory Ibbey Pant in sz 00.
Pros: Great fabrics that I can wear over and over again without steaming/ironing, tiny blazers, and impeccable tailoring. I've had coworkers who are completely disinterested in fashion compliment me on my basic black Theory pieces. Jackets in sz 00 and sheath dresses in sz 0 usually fit me perfectly.
Cons: Length (the brand is not made for petites, so a pants hem is a must and sleeve shortening a costly maybe), price, and frequent lack of lining. I have several items from Theory that really need a lining (itchy tweeds, wool, etc) but don't have one.
Consensus: Despite all the "cons," Theory is my favorite suiting brand out of all the ones I reviewed. In person, the quality and cut are noticeably better than BR or AT, and most definitely Express. Also, even though I have to hem off what looks like a foot of fabric, the fit still comes out looking normal. To avoid alterations, look for items that look "shrunken" or cropped on the models.
I wanted to show how the pants fit pre-leg slimming alterations. The Mark B cut I am wearing is similar to the Max C, except with wider legs:
Other Theory shoppers out there - what are some of your fave pieces? Any qualms or dislikes about the fit/quality? I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.

Let me start off by saying the losses we keep having this season are definitely not because of a lack of ability.
The talent every player in this team possesses is enormous, so obviously the question everyone is asking is: ''Why are we not winning?"
We had such a positive week leading up to the Highlanders game, but of course still a tough week, with a full day of travel to New Zealand because of the time changes.
The boys were great at training though, and the captain's run was so positive and executed with such professionalism.
At half-time last Friday against the Highlanders, I pulled the boys in and had a word. I was angry, not at any particular player or particular thing we were doing wrong, but because I knew we were so much better than the 40 minutes we had just played.
I asked them: ''Do any of you think we can't beat these blokes tonight?" As expected, everyone said no. There was a collective agreement that we were not going to lose this game.
So there's nothing worse than losing a game you should have - and definitely could have - won.
With the long turnaround, we arrived in Auckland on the Saturday with the weekend off to rest and recover.
The first tour for the group can be challenging, with players missing home, missing loved ones, as well as getting cabin fever cooped up with the same 25 blokes for so long.
Thankfully, the weather in Auckland has been amazing, better than home in fact, and this has really helped us stay positive.
Something as seemingly unimportant as a nice day can have such a great effect on your mindset. Also, with training still being intense, it has made it easy to get up and get out of the hotel to improve on last week's performance.
You can't just focus on the negatives of your last game and dwell on the past. A lot of good football came out of that game.
The boys have really brought that attitude into training this week and it's been enjoyable and upbeat.
The best thing I've seen from the team this week is everyone being harder on each other. You can really see them trying to improve themselves and each other.
Believing has been a real focus for us all season and we need that now more than ever.
The Chiefs have weaknesses like any other team, and although they love to score tries - and a lot of tries - they also tend to find themselves behind their own goal post a lot in games.
A perfect example of this was their game on the weekend; they drew 43-43 with the Cheetahs. Not to mention our last encounter, which had us going down by six points in an 11-try game (33-39).
So for my Rebels now, we know where we stand in the competition. We know we are good enough to win, we've done it before.
This week is our last opportunity to tick the box and achieve the club's first win in New Zealand.
But more importantly, it's also a chance to believe in ourselves and beat the reigning Super Rugby champions.

PDF File Neovascular Glaucoma Surgical Management. Abstract: Neovascular glaucoma is a vision- and eye-threatening dis- ease that carries a poor prognosis. Understanding the cause of neovas- cular glaucoma with early diagnosis and treatment is important for a positive outcome. There are numerous surgical treatment options avail- able, but to have the best outcome, deciding which surgical technique to use is important. Some patients are better candidates than others for the various surgical techniques. An early- or late-stage clinical presentation, as well as the other ocular conditions associated with neovascular glau- coma, will dictate the appropriate surgical plan. This article provides a step-by-step approach to surgically managing neovascular glaucoma and explains new surgical techniques to help with the best chance of a pos- itive patient outcome

Computer Vision Systems for Security
by Rich Handley
August 2002
As Advanced Imaging readers well know, the term "computer vision" refers to the automated extraction of information regarding objects or scenes in one or more images. This differs from image processing, which is aimed at modifying an image for later human viewing or interpretation.
Computer vision from a security standpoint involves the identification and authentification of a person or persons through imaging. This involves a number of biometrics techniques, including face detection and recognition, acoustic-visual speaker verification, and multi-modal biometrics person verification.
Iris recognition provides the highest level of authentication available, according to Panasonic's Tim Meyerhoff, who believes such technology will play a significant role in the future of access control and large venue screening. The products detailed below are just some of the advances that will help achieve such a goal...
First up is French specialist distributor BFI Optilas, marketers of the DI-5000, a motorized pan-and-tilt surveillance thermal imager from Digital Imaging Infrared in Europe. The DI-5000 is a complete day/night, all-weather surveillance system incorporating an un-coded microbolometer high-res infrared imaging detector with a 100 mm electric focus lens and a color CD camera with 20X zoom lens. This system can detect a person in full darkness or smoke at a distance up to 1 km on 360°, as well as precisely locate a target within its field-of-view thanks to an integrated eye-safe laser rangefinder. Coupled to a computer, DI-5000 images can be transmitted to a centralized location, where they are visualized in real-time on a virtual 3D model of the area under surveillance. Applications include perimeter surveillance, border control, fire-fighting, search-and-rescue, and night-time law enforcement operations.
