Bath time is all about relaxing and the iDuck Wireless Speaker will make it just that much nicer. Plug your iPod into the egg and you can listen to the music on the waterproof, wireless duck. Not only will he keep the tunes going but he also has a color changing light feature. A rubber duck upgraded with music and light. Probably my favorite duck so far.

The use of container-grown tobacco transplants in Kentucky has increased dramatically since the mid-1980s. Interest in alternative transplant production methods stems from several areas:
The larger cell size (200) is generally easier to work with and will produce a slightly larger plant with larger stem diameter and a larger root system than the smaller cell sizes. Plants are easier to manage and can be held longer on the float if necessary because of weather conditions. Trays with higher cell density are normally used for direct seeding.
The number of usable plants per tray using the plug and transfer method should approach 100%. Assume 90% usable plants per tray in determining the number of trays required for each acre of tobacco. With the 200-cell tray:
.90 x 200 = 180 plants per tray
Plant population per acre: 7,200 (burley) or 4400 (dark)
Trays per acre needed: 7,200 ÷ 180 = 40 trays (burley)
4,400 ÷ 180 = 25 trays (dark) Dip trays in a 10% chlorine bleach solution and allow to dry completely before use. After use:
Plug and transfer soil mixtures are formulated with all macro- and micro-nutrients necessary for the 4-week growth period that the plants are on the float. A relatively small amount of fertilizer per cubic foot of mix is required, which makes it difficult to blend; therefore, uniform distribution throughout the blend is difficult to attain. Many growers are using non-fertilized mix and adding water soluble fertilizer to the water. Three and one half pounds of 20-10-20/1,000 gal of water when the plants are floated are required for 4 weeks' growth.
1. Measure the inside length and width of the bed
in feet.
Determine the average water depth, again in feet.
Multiply length x width ´ depth (in feet) to determine cubic feet.
Multiply cubic feet x 7.48 to determine volume in gallons.
For example, assume you have a water bed that is 15'9" long by 7' wide, with an average water depth of 4".
15'9" = 15.75' and 4" = 0.333".
Using the formula from above:
15.75' x 7' x 0.333' = 36.7 cu ft
36.7 cu ft x 7.48 gal/cu ft = 275 gal
2. Here is another way to approximate gallons per bed:
Multiply the number of trays per bed ´ the average depth of the water in inches
Multiply this number ´ 1.6.
The bed described in (1) is 6 trays wide by 7 trays long for a total of 42 trays.
42 (trays) ´ 4 (inches of water) ´ 1.6 = approximately 268 gal.
A mix containing the correct amount of moisture will hold its shape when squeezed into a ball for 2 to 3 seconds before beginning to fall apart. Do not add too much water and don't "beat" the trays on a table to settle the mix.
Fill each tray, drop it gently from a height of 4" to 6" on the edge of a 1" wide board two to three times, and bring mix to level with the top. Dibbling is not required for plug and transfer.
If a small greenhouse or other heated environment with good light is available, it is possible to produce bare-rooted seedlings for transfer. A nursery tray or cookie sheet is filled with potting mix and a small amount of seed is mixed with sand and evenly scattered on the surface of the tray.
Trial and error are the best way to determine plant density; use a .22 caliber long rifle casing for a measure. Normally 1 to 2 casings of seed per 11" x 20" tray will give best yield of usable plants. Cover the trays with brown paper and keep moist until the seeds germinate, generally in 5 to 7 days. Plants should be ready for transferring in 4 to 5 weeks.
The transfer rate for bare root seedlings will be about half that of plug plants: 600-800/hour compared to 1,400-1,600. Using a pegged board to make holes in the cells to accept the bare-rooted seedling will speed up the rate of transfer. This operation is not necessary with plug plants. Sprinkle 3 to 4 cups of vermiculite over the tops of plants after plugging, and mist with water to seal roots in the mix.
Remember: all measurements are inside dimension. Measure the tray you are using and add 1/4" to the length and width to allow the trays to float with changing water level. To prevent excessive algae growth, there should be no large areas of exposed water when trays are placed on the float.
Select a level area in full sunlight. Generally, 2" x 8" material is used for the beds. Uneven ground can be leveled with soil, sand, aglime, or sawdust. Be sure to rake the area and remove any objects that could puncture the plastic. Indoor-outdoor carpeting may be placed on the soil to protect the plastic from damage.
Don't "eyeball" during construction; use a level. Drive 2" x 2" stakes every 6 to 8 feet around the outer edges of the beds to keep the frame from bowing when filled with water.
Place water bed heaters beneath the plastic liner, one per 100 sq ft of surface area. Efficiency of the heaters can be modestly improved if they are placed on a section of foil-backed insulation board. Using water bed heaters set at 70 to 74oF will improve root growth and fertilizer efficiency but will not provide cold weather protection to the above-ground parts of the plant.
Line beds with plastic after leveling. Use a single layer of 6 mil or double layer of 4 mil black plastic.
Spread and smooth the liner and place water-filled plastic bags or balloons in the corners to hold the plastic in place while filling. Use new plastic every year. Do not secure the plastic to the edges of the frames until after the beds are filled.
Use a "clean" source of water from a municipal utility or deep well. Surface water from ponds or streams may contain black shank spores. If water is transported in a tank, be sure the tank is free of chemical contamination (such as triazine). Fill the beds a day or two before placing trays on the water to allow the water to warm as much as possible.
After trays are placed on the water the beds should be covered. PVC, metal conduit, wood framing, or wires can be used for supports to keep the cover off of the plants. A typical cover will protect the plants from wind and provide light frost protection, but will not protect plants from heavy frost or freeze.
Remember: water bed heaters keep the roots warm but do not protect leaves from frost or freeze. For additional protection during extremely cold weather:

Big Syphe: Inside the DJ Booth
DJ Big Syphe had been spinning at neighborhood parties for years before he had the opportunity to take his skills around the globe, serving as a supporting record spinner for international superstar Pitbull. The California native was a devotee of music — he dabbled in production as a teenager — and coupled that passion with his love for turntables, which eventually led him to one of the top radio stations in the country, Los Angeles' Power 106.
When he was just 19 years old, Syphe was already doing well as an enterprising industry head. He was on the station's street team but he was also allowed the opportunity to guest host and spin late night mixes from time to time. Although, Syphe knew bigger things were in store for him, he had no idea his breakthrough would come from meeting Pitbull's mother.
Syphe traveled to Las Vegas with Power 106 one weekend for a showcase event. The eager DJ was sequestered to a lonely table since he was underage. At some point in the evening, a young rapper by the name of Pitbull made his rounds at the showcase and his mother accompanied him. The woman spotted Syphe sitting all alone so she walked over, introduced herself, then called her son over.
"Ever since then, we just kept in touch and I tried to break his records," Syphe tells The BoomBox. "He knew I was an up and coming DJ, so we just kept in touch, talked on the regular and we just built a relationship, you know. And 10 years later, I'm his DJ and I'm also signed to him as a producer. It's kinda cool."
It's a pretty charmed life for a young DJ who had big dreams one day, and was able to watch them come to life the very next day. But even the most focused artists can't keep the unexpected from happening. When asked about his worst DJ experience, Syphe recalls an incident in Dallas during the Super Bowl.
"In the middle of my set I had an equipment failure. It just kinda gave up and we were just trying to figure out what was going on. In those five minutes, there's no DJ so we had to hang with the crowd and keep them entertained. It all worked out, but it was very embarrassing on my end because everybody was looking at me like, 'What's going on?' Five minutes is a long time, you know."
He laughs about it now, but at the time, Syphe says it was a major deal. Then there was the night he'd had too much to drink, which he says was one of his funniest moments. "I shouted the wrong city out on the mic. That was embarrassing," Syphe says with a laugh. "They kinda just stared at me but I played it off well. I go, 'See? This is what happens when the DJ gets drunk.'"
When mixing records is your job though, there has to be more to it than just partying. DJs party every night, however, the fulfillment comes from knowing they're touching others with their music. Syphe says he doesn't have a favorite city to spin in but he truly does enjoy seeing the crowd's reaction to music all over the world.
"When I deejayed in South Africa… The DJ before me was playing a lot of old school records from like maybe 10, 15 years ago. I saw the crowd and they were just loving it," Syphe says excitedly. "I do feel like sometimes when I go to different countries they appreciate the music still, you can feel that energy. And that's not to say that out here in the U.S. they don't. Sometimes when I go to other countries and see how they appreciate old classics… Sometimes I see people having more fun than in the major cities out here — New York, Miami, even in Los Angeles."
A decade after meeting Pitbull, Syphe is enjoying his progress — he's still doing what he loves, but on a different level nowadays. He's spinning clubs, but now he does it while traveling the world. He produces records and remixes and also co-hosts an afternoon show on Power 106, The Big Syphe & Eric D-Lux Show. Yet Syphe says he isn't even close to his career goals.
"I still don't feel like I accomplished some of my really big goals that I really want to do," he shares. "The whole reason I started deejaying, was because I wanted to do my own music as far as producing artists and being able to play those records. I still dream of doing that for people like Madonna."

Minister quizzed on sardine trains
Reporter: KEN BENNETT
Date online: 15 May 2014
COMMUTERS from Saddleworth's only railway station are being treated like "sardines in a can", MP Debbie Abrahams claimed when she questioned Transport minister Patrick McLoughlin in the Commons.
The Oldham East and Saddleworth MP pressed the minister on whether some of Northern Rail's diesel stock could be transferred to TransPennine Express to supplement a gap left by an earlier stock transfer from TPE to the Chilterns Railway.
Mr McLoughlin said: "A huge amount of new rolling stock is coming online in the next few years and I hope we will be able to relieve some of the initial problems the honourable lady has mentioned."
Following the exchange the MP said: "Telling commuters squashed together like sardines that new rolling stock is coming in the next few years is little consolation.
"The Government has just extended the Northern Rail franchise until 2016. It is disappointing it didn't use that opportunity more effectively and improve the quality and capacity of rolling stock for my constituents."
as usual this subject just gets a little airing but that's it.
Oldham only has two train stations in the borough now.
so why has greenfield not been included on the mainline express service between Leeds and Manchester?
it would only mean one extra stop of only two minutes which would bring massive relief to the commuters who use the trains from greenfield to Manchester and Huddersfield.
such a simple addition and yet certain experts cannot get their act together and get this implemented.
We have the worst network of battered overcrowded trash trains in the country. Manchester to Accrington via Bolton at rush hour is a torture, absolute joke. The further south your travel, especially watching Latics, you realise how poor it all is and I'm surprised Northern Rail have not been 'outed' years ago.

The classic collection of sixteen sermons preached and compiled by Dr. King
As Dr. King prepared for the Birmingham campaign in early 1963, he drafted the final sermons for Strength to Love, a volume of his best-known homilies. King had begun working on the sermons during a fortnight in jail in July 1962. Having been arrested for holding a prayer vigil outside Albany City Hall, King and Ralph Abernathy shared a jail cell for fifteen days that was, according to King, ''dirty, filthy, and ill-equipped'' and "the worse I have ever seen." While behind bars, he spent uninterrupted time preparing the drafts for classic sermons such as "Loving Your Enemies," "Love in Action," and "Shattered Dreams," and continued to work on the volume after his release.
A Gift of Love includes these classic sermons, along with two new preachings. Collectively they present King's fusion of Christian teachings and social consciousness, and promote his prescient vision of love as a social and political force for change.
About the Author
The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), Nobel Peace Prize laureate and architect of the nonviolent civil rights movement, was among the twentieth century's most influential figures. In 1954, Dr. King became pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, and in 1960, he joined his father as copastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. One of the greatest orators in U.S. history, King was the author of several books, including Stride Toward Freedom, The Trumpet of Conscience, Why We Can't Wait, and Where Do We Go from Here. Coretta Scott King (1927-2006), the wife of Martin Luther King, Jr., was an author and a human rights activist. She helped lead the civil rights movement after King's assassination, carrying the message of nonviolence and the dream of a beloved community to many countries and spearheading civil rights coalitions and foundations. The Reverend Dr. Raphael G. Warnock is senior pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, the spiritual home of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Praise For…
"If you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter. I won't have any money to leave behind. I won't have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. . . . Yes, Jesus, I want to be on your right or your left side, not for any selfish reason. I want to be on your right or your left side, not in terms of some political kingdom or ambition. But I just want to be there in love and in justice and in truth and in commitment to others, so that we can make of this old world a new world."
—From "The Drum Major Instinct"
"But be ye assured that we will wear you down by our capacity to suffer. One day we shall win freedom, but not only for ourselves. We shall so appeal to your heart and conscience that we shall win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory."
—From "Loving Your Enemies"

Simple Italian Meat Sauce
Recipe by IHeartBobert
I got this recipe from my hubbs cute little Sicilian grandmother. Her meat sauce is a favorite in my hubby's family, they looove this meat sauce its served at all family gatherings. It is so simple to make, and freezes really well. You may also make this recipe in the slow cooker.
Top Review by KimmieCat1
This is a good base sauce. I wish it had more flavoring (garlic and salt especially). My advice it to reduce the sauce to bring out more flavor, but it is definately worth playing around with to your personal taste.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 5 large whole garlic cloves

* Nikkei rises 1.8 pct, Topix gains 1.5 pct as yen slumps * Exporters, finanicals lead the gains * Sharp Corp falls on Hon Hai capital doubt By Dominic Lau TOKYO, Feb 25 (Reuters) - The Nikkei jumped 1.8 percent to a 53-month high on Monday as the yen slumped after sources said Japan is likely to nominate Asian Development Bank President Haruhiko Kuroda, an advocate of aggressive monetary easing, as its next central bank chief. Exporters led the charge after the yen hit a 33-month low of 94.77 yen to the dollar on Monday, while financials and real estate companies also advanced as they stood to benefit from reflationary policy. The Nikkei climbed 202.92 points to 11,588.86 after trading as much as 11,618.53 to its highest level since late September 2008. "We are essentially gapped up because of the Kuroda thing," a senior dealer at a foreign bank said. "A lot of people took money off the table last week. We saw some futures selling, cash selling, and now some of that money is coming back in." Sources told Reuters that the government was also likely to nominate an academic and a central banker to fill the two deputy governor posts that open up on March 19. Earlier, the Nikkei newspaper said Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will submit the nominations for Kuroda and the two deputy governors to parliament this week. Kikuo Iwata, an academic known as one of the most vocal advocates of bold monetary expansion, was likely to be nominated as a deputy BOJ governor, it said. The benchmark Nikkei has rallied nearly 34 percent since mid-November, driven by a weaker yen after Abe called for the BOJ to adopt more aggressive monetary policy in his election campaign. Major exporters on the rise included Toyota Motor Corp , Honda Motor Co, Canon Inc and auto parts maker Denso Corp, up between 1.7 and 2.1 percent. Lender Mizuho Financial Group rose 2.5 percent and was the most traded stock on the main board by turnover, while peers Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, up 2.3 percent, and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, up 2 percent, were the fourth and fifth-most traded, respectively. Real estate company Mitsui Fudosan climbed 3.5 percent. Boosted by the yen's sharp fall, Japanese companies' earnings outlook has improved sharply. Their one-month earnings momentum -- analysts' earnings upgrades minus downgrades as a total of estimates -- rose to 8 percent from 3.6 percent in January, data from Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S showed. The earnings momentum for U.S. companies remained in negative territory in February, while that for European firms deteriorated further. The broader Topix rose 1.5 percent to 977.72 on Monday morning. Sharp Corp was one of the seven losers on the Nikkei, down 0.5 percent after sources said the consumer electronics maker was unlikely to include a capital infusion from Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd in its turnaround plan as talks between the firms have hit a snag.

Is there any mechanism for dealing with the situation where one
user-written package depends on another?
If no mechanism, is there a convention?
More concretely: I have a package which uses mm_expand() from moremata.
Is there a way of making -net install mypackage- check for the presence
of moremata and install it if it is missing? If not, is there a standard
way to bring it to the user's attention?

Take Concurrent Courses It Helps
I think everyone should try to take college concurrent courses if it is offered at your high school. It really gets you prepared for the college courses you will be taking at UALR. It also puts you farther ahead. I took concurrent courses my sophomore, junior and senior year of high school. I can say it truly prepared me for the courses I'm taking now at UALR. I'm happy to say nothing has surprised me yet. I came to UALR with 24 hours which is a year ahead of a normal freshmen. Now imagine that, being a year ahead when you come to college. That could give you time to take up that extra major or minor without getting behind. You will have more time for extracuriclars and wont have to cram so much in your first year. If you stay on top of your grades and hours you could even graduate early. Now when your thinking what courses you should take your senior or even junior year think about this. Always remeber if you cant fit them in during the school year you have that summer before. So try it! It helps!

A series of new organosiloxane ferroelectric liquid crystalline (FLC) materials have been synthesized, and their mesomorphic and physical properties have been characterized. Four new disiloxanes and trisiloxanes, containing biphenyl 4-hydroxybenzoate and phenyl 4-hydroxybiphenylcarboxylate as mesogenic units and eleven methylene unit as spacers and (2
Organosiloxane low molar mass (LMM) liquid crystals have attracted considerable interest because their electro-optic properties are similar to those of classical LMM liquid crystals, demonstrating fast switching times in the nematic [
FLC molecules consist of a rigid core and end-tail groups with a chiral center located on one or both groups. The mesogenic moiety usually uses a benzene ring as rigid core, and the number of the benzene ring will influence the temperature range of the liquid crystal. For most FLC molecules, the end-tail groups are hydrocarbon chains. When increasing the hydrocarbon chain lengths of the molecules, the rotational viscosity, as well as the tilt angle of the SC* molecules, increase. Increasing the length of the non-polar moiety helps to dilute the transverse dipole moment in the material and thus decrease the value of
Recently, we have synthesized a series of organosiloxane FLC materials with a biphenyl mesogenic moiety [
This study intends to explore two influences: one is the influence of the liquid crystal compound with siloxane end-tail, and the other is the influence from different rigid core arrangements in the mesogenic unit that change the thermal properties of liquid crystalline and liquid crystal mesophase.
In order to clarify the influences, two series of liquid crystal compounds with different mesogenic moieties have been designed and synthesized (series UBPV and series UPBV).
In the UBPV series of compounds (UBPV, d-Si-UBPV, and t-Si-UBPV
The thermal and mesomorphic properties of compounds series UBPV and series UPBV were measured using differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) and polarized optical microscope(POM). The phase transition temperatures and enthalpy change of series UBPV compounds are listed in
Among the UBPV series compounds, t-Si-UBPV has the widest liquid crystalline temperature range (113.7 °C), and the liquid crystalline temperature range of compound d-Si-UBPV is slightly lower. The compound UBPV shows the smallest liquid crystalline temperature range of 46.2 °C. Consequently, the results can verify a fact that siloxane group is able to stabilize the liquid crystalline formation and the more regular smectic formation, such as the SA phase changing to the SB phase.
The phase transition temperatures and enthalpy change of compounds UPBVs are listed in
The formation of a SC* phase was further verified by spontaneous polarization (

1H-NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian (CA, USA) VXR-300 or Bruker (MA, USA) 300 MHz spectrometer. Thermal transitions and thermodynamic parameters were determined using a Seiko (Tokyo, Japan) SSC/5200 DSC equipped with a liquid nitrogen cooling accessory. Heating and cooling rates were 10 °C/min. Thermal transition reports were collected during the second heating and cooling scans. A Nikon (Tokyo, Japan) Microphot-FX POM equipped with a Mettler (OH, USA) FP 82 hot stage and a FP 80 central processor was used to observe the thermal transitions and analyze the anisotropic textures.

In 2007, the American College of Surgeons completed its Phase I Surgical Skills Curriculum for Residents. This curriculum is based on didactic and psychomotor skills training offered in skills lab settings. Guthrie's Clinical Skills Laboratory and Simulation Center offers a resource for residents and surgeons pursuing technical expertise in line with the ACS curriculum.
The lab provides an appropriate setting outside the operating room for residents and surgeons to gain proficiency with, or brush up on, a variety of techniques. For surgical residents, this represents a departure from traditional "see one, do one, teach one" methodology, instead offering hands-on training prior to a patient encounter. The skills lab hosts lectures, laboratory sessions and scheduled training.
- Five dedicated rooms: three training rooms equipped and staged appropriately to the skill being practiced; one lecture space; and an office.
- Equipment, such as the Stryker endoscopic video system, anesthesia machine, Valley Lab cautery machine, and other technologies decommissioned by the hospital
- Expired items like central line kits and sterile supplies are also utilized during training.
High Fidelity options:
- Endoscopy AccuTouch Colonoscopy Simulator, which includes both upper and lower gastrointestinal flexible endoscopy. The endoscopy simulator uses virtual reality.
- Bronchoscopy module
- Noelle Birthing Trainer, a customizable trainer mannequin capable of being programmed to present a variety of scenarios. Wireless newborn mannequin also available.
Low Fidelity options:
- TraumaMan, a simulator for surgical skills training, including cricothyroidotomy, chest tube insertion, pericardiocentesis, diagnostic peritoneal lavage, and IV cutdown.
- CentraLineMan, a venous simulator to train surgeons on subclavian, supraclavicular and internal jugular central line access. CentraLineMan also allows the user to practice real-time ultrasound guidance during central line catheter placement.
- Pig bowel and vessels are provided for surgeons to practice enteric or vascular anastomotic techniques on organic tissue.
- Box trainers are available to practice laparoscopic skills such as: tissue manipulation and dissection, application of Endo-Loops, and intra/extra-corporeal knot tying.
- Laparoscopic box trainers are utilized to practice the skills that comprise the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) program, developed by SAGES and jointly supported by the ACS, FLS is a comprehensive educational module designed to teach the physiology, fundamental knowledge and technical skills required in basic laparoscopy.
While low fidelity tools are not intended to closely approximate a living subject, their components are anatomically true. Repetitive use of low fidelity tools helps residents gain an understanding of procedure and appropriate situational response.
The Clinic Skills and Simulation Laboratory hosts residents and staff from various departments and specialties such as: surgery, cardiology, neurosurgery, respiratory, anesthesiology, ER and orthopaedics. Training topics have included: stapled bowel anastomosis, endoscopic vein harvest, skin suturing, laparoscopic surgery, catheter placement, central line insertion, joint injection/aspiration, Endo-Stitch laparoscopic suturing device training, chest tube insertion, interventional vascular techniques and vascular anastomosis. Basics like gowning, gloving, draping and sterility are also offered. In addition, the lab provides space for training on non-surgical equipment like the Vocera VOIP communication device.

And all she has wanted to do for two weeks now is just dye her Easter eggs!
Why can't I find an hour to just dye the eggs with her?!?!
Poor girl!
(these pics are from last Easter)
It seems that lately an hour any where is hard to find.
Things have been really hard. Emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, financially...you name it...it's been hard!
I'm not usually a big complainer on this blog or in life.
I really try to focus on the good, the positive, the happiness that does truly surround me in blessings everyday!
But sometimes, sometimes life's just hard!
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and defeated, I think that some days life just gets to us all. And it's sad that I feel like a huge whiner and bellyacher when in reality I'm just confessing that life's not perfect all the time and as a human being I just need to vent!!
Right now I just need a huge break...like this guy bellow(AKA:my husband...who is also overwhelmed and defeated). Ok it was Easter Sunday and he does deserve the break while I slaved away in the kitchen cooking Easter dinner.
Not only do I need a break, but I would LOVE some much needed alone time, date time, anytime with this guy so we could reconnect after a VERY LONG semester of school!
I do happen to be missing him immensely!
Luckily we did get invited to a Saturday Easter hunt with a family friend who we love so very much. Thank-you!
And Easter dinner wasn't even planned until Saturday night. First of all we had been too busy the week leading up to Easter to even plan anything. SO a last minute throw-together meal was put into action.
After dinner I watched this stranger throw a few balls...
With this handsome guy!
I took a few pictures of this beautiful girl...
While putting up my feet on a beautiful sunny afternoon for a few minutes before cleaning up dinner.
And of course we had these girls to entertain us on such a lovely day!

Roundup: Americans are spending more money this summer; EPA extend hearings on coal rules; more
Americans spend more in summer on necessities
People are opening their wallets more this summer — but that extra cash isn't going to margaritas and beach excursions. It's being eaten up by bills and basic things that people need to survive, such as food, electricity and health care, according to a recent Gallup survey.
Fifty-nine percent of people reported spending more on groceries this summer than they did last year, compared to only 10 percent who said they are saving on food. In other sobering figures, 58 percent of people are spending more on gas, 45 percent are paying more for utilities and 42 percent are forking over more for health care, according to the survey.
Overall, some 45 percent of people said they are spending more money this summer than they did a year ago, compared to 18 percent who are spending less. Of course, having to spend more on things they need means people have less cash this summer to spend on the things they want.
Close to 40 percent of people reported spending less on travel, and about the same share said they cut back on going to restaurants.
EPA extends hearings on power plant rules
The Environmental Protection Agency is extending its regional hearings on proposed carbon-emission rules for power plants into two-day affairs because of increased public interest.
The agency will collect comments July 31 and Aug. 1 at the William S. Moorhead Federal Building, Downtown, one of four regional hearings on the rules it proposed last month to cut greenhouse gases from existing power plants. The other hearings are July 29 and 30 in Denver, Atlanta and Washington. "Based on the number of people responding, we thought it was necessary to provide an extra day," said Terri White, an EPA spokeswoman in Philadelphia. The agency will run two concurrent sessions each day from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. to collect the maximum number of responses, White said.
Information on registering is available at www2.epa.gov/carbon-pollution-standards.
Alcoa coating named top innovation
Alcoa Inc. said R&D Magazine named a pre-treatment coating called Alcoa 951 as one of its 100 top technology innovations introduced in the past year.
The coating, developed by two scientists at the Alcoa Technical Center in Upper Burrell, makes aluminum stick to other materials. Alcoa has licensed the technology to enable the use more lightweight aluminum as automakers gear up to meet the federal government's 54.5 mpg target by 2025.
The magazine's R&D Awards recognize innovations introduced across industry, academia and government-sponsored research in 2013. The 52nd annual awards will be presented at an event in November in Las Vegas.
Alcoa's plant in Davenport, Iowa, has a line that applies Alcoa 951 to aluminum sheet before it is shipped to customers. The technology was co-invented by Alcoa scientists Sherri McCleary and Jim Marinelli, and has been licensed to German chemical supplier Chemetall GmbH for global distribution. Alcoa receives royalties from the license.
VW to build new SUV in Tennessee
Volkswagen plans to build a new seven-passenger SUV at its factory in Chattanooga, Tenn,, adding about 2,000 factory jobs as it tries to reverse American sales that have fallen for the past two years.
The German automaker announced on Monday that it will invest $600 million to expand the factory and set up a new research center that will employ about 200 engineers. The research facility will coordinate products for North America to quickly include customer feedback into planned and existing models, the company said. The announcement occurs after months of political wrangling over the role of organized labor at the factory, which employs about 1,500 workers and makes one model, the Passat midsize car. Production of the new SUV, based on the CrossBlue concept vehicle that debuted in Detroit last year, is scheduled to start at the end of 2016.
China indicts investigators
Chinese authorities have indicted British and American investigators hired by GlaxoSmithKline on charges of illegally obtaining and selling private information, state media reported on Monday, as the Briton blamed the pharmaceutical company for misleading and using him.
British investigator Peter Humphrey and his wife, Yingzeng Yu, a United States citizen, were charged in Shanghai's No. 1 Intermediate People's Court, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
It said this is the first time foreigners have faced such charges. Humphrey, 58, and Yu, 61, are part of an industry of investigators who help corporate clients screen potential partners and employees or watch for embezzlement and other employee misconduct.
AbbVie, Shire enter combination talks
Drugmakers AbbVie and Shire are in detailed talks about a possible combination. AbbVie again raised the deal price and gave Shire shareholders a bigger stake in the new company.
Shire says Chicago-based AbbVie is offering a cash-stock combination valued at $91.10 for each share of Shire, which is headquartered on the British island of Jersey.
The offer totals about $53.68 billion and represents an increase from AbbVie's previous proposal, which amounted to about $51 billion. Shire Plc shareholders would own about 25 percent of the combined new company, up from the 24 percent stake proposed in the most recent offer.
Poultry to dominate meat consumption
Poultry is expected to become the world's most consumed meat over the next 5 years, according to a report released by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development last week.
The world's appetite for chicken is growing faster than any other meat, while pork consumption is slowing, even in its most popular markets. "Currently, pork accounts for the greatest share in world total meat production, however, a comparatively slower growth rate through the next decade will result in it being surpassed by poultry by 2020," the report says. Poultry is the cheapest and most accessible meat in the world. Bovine and pig meat prices are expected to well outpace those of poultry.

Posted Wednesday, July 11, 2012
Crews are installing a mobile linear accelerator in a new radiation therapy facility at UTMB Health's Specialty Care Center at Victory Lakes in League City.
"Tomotherapy offers our patients cutting edge cancer care in their own backyard," said Dr. Todd Swanson, radiation oncologist at the Specialty Care Center. Dr. Swanson said the facility will be one of three offering Helical Tomotherapy in the Houston-Galveston area. It is scheduled to open in May.
Linear accelerators generate x-ray or electron beams used for radiation therapy. The center's TomoHD Mobile unit is contained inside a 55-foot trailer on wheels. Technology advances have allowed engineers to reduce the size of linear accelerators since they were introduced for medical use in the 1950s.
The TomoHD Mobile accelerator unit itself is one of fewer than 10 in operation in the world, said its manufacturer, Accuray Inc., of Sunnyvale, Calif.
"As opposed to traditional radiation therapy machines, which deliver a wide beam of radiation from only a few angles, this specialized system targets tumors with highly precise radiation delivered from 360 degrees around the patient – increasing the doctor's control in getting radiation where it needs to be while decreasing the chance of damage to surrounding healthy tissue and organs," Dr. Swanson said.
Specialized movers transported the unit from its assembly site in the Midwest and placed the unit in League City on March 24. The accelerator and associated equipment arrived in a convoy of three trucks from Madison, Wis. Crews and drivers anchored the accelerator on a concrete pad on the south side of the center.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard's plan to roll out smart meters will make little difference to electricity prices and she should concentrate on giving the regulator more power to take on state government power monopolies, according to Australia's biggest power users.
In an article published in Wednesday'sThe Australian Financial Review, Brian Green, chairman of the Energy Users Association of Australia, which represents companies such as BHP, Coles and Australian Paper, has accused Ms Gillard of "soft pedalling" and "half-measures".
Ms Gillard has urged premiers to back power sector reforms at a Council of Australian Governments meeting on Friday and promised a plan for rolling out smart-meter technology would cut power prices by $250 a year. Smart meters record usage by time, including peak periods.
But Mr Green said big commercial users of power, which account for three-quarters of power consumption, have used smart meters for years and this has made little difference to prices. "Smart meters are no silver bullet," Mr Green wrote.
"More than three-quarters of electrical consumption in Australia has been 'smartly' metered for several decades. Despite this there is very little or no time variation in retail prices for the vast bulk of this consumption. What difference is smart metering for the last 25 per cent possibly going to make in bringing prices down?"
Mr Green said that the real cause of rising power network prices was waste and gold-plating in state government-owned monopolies which paid huge dividends and other related payments to Queensland and NSW.
"Electricity price outcomes may have been disastrous for energy users, but state governments that own network businesses, and the managers and workers at these businesses, have done very well," Mr Green said.
Mr Green said that on Sunday Ms Gillard had "publicly recanted" the best solution of pushing for privatisation. He said the Australian Energy Markets Commission, which sets rules for network pricing and smart meters, should have been tougher on states in a package of rule changes, which are due to get political backing on Friday.
The new rules still allowed network companies to over-invest and claim excessive returns.
"There seems to be more interest in protecting the states' income streams, than pursuing the long-term interest of consumers," Mr Green said.
The rule changes will determine prices and revenues for network companies for the next five years starting from 2014 in NSW and 2015 in Victoria and Queensland.
AEMC chairman
He agreed the new network pricing rules would not make much difference if states failed to run their networks well. "Rule changes cannot substitute for good governance of the network sector," Mr Pierce said.
Meanwhile, AGL will mount a court challenge to the South Australian regulator's attempt to amend the regulated price of power in that state in response to lower generation costs.
AGL claims the regulator has wrongly utilised its power to review prices outside the usual four-year cycle due to "special circumstances".

SPORTS >>Cabot closes with big victory
By JASON KING
Leader sports writer
Cabot senior Colin Fuller made the very most of his final night wearing Panther red during Cabots 37-27 win over Russellville Thursday night at Panther Stadium. Fuller rushed for over 150 yards and two touchdowns, kicked a 37-yard field goal, intercepted two Russellville passes, along with his other duties of kicking off, punting, and returning kickoffs.
One of Fullers picks stopped a critical drive from the Cyclones.
Russellville drove into the Cabot red zone in the middle of the fourth quarter trailing 29-20, but a pass into the end zone from Cyc-lones QB Blake Humphery was read all the way by Fuller. After a couple of bobbles while falling to the ground, Fuller was finally able to secure the ball to give the Panthers the touchback, and more importantly end Russellvilles threat to score.
Each team found the end zone once more before the end of the contest, but good clock management from the Cabot offense late left little time for the Cyclones to mount a comeback.
Cabot coach Mike Malham says that despite not securing a playoff berth, his young but talented squad has impressed him this year.
There really wasnt a lot expected of them this year, and they won six ballgames, Malham said. We have seven guys out hurt right now that started at the first of the year. We started eight or nine sophomores tonight, and Ill tell you what, they got after it.
Malham also recognized Ful-lers tremendous efforts on the night.
He returns the kicks and the punts; he kicks, he punts, he plays fullback. He probably had over 100 yards tonight Im sure, and he had one or two interceptions, Malham said. Hes one of those seniors that were going to miss. Hes played both ways, and weve had to have him out there because we dont have too many athletes like that.
Russellvilles first possession to start the game stalled at the Cabot 40-yard line, but the Cyclones tried a fake punt on fourth down.
Josh Cloud took the snap, but was stuffed by junior defensive end Daniel Hillenburg. That gave Cabot the ball on downs, and the Panther offense went to work.
Cabot spent most of the night running the option. Quarterback Corey Wade took the ball 33 yards on a keep during the second play from scrimmage, moving the ball into Russellville territory.
A couple of short runs for Fuller moved the ball into the red zone, but it was a pass play that would seal the deal for the first Cabot score.
Wade found Raul Gault wide open in the left corner of the end zone for a 19-yard TD throw with 6:14 left in the first quarter.
Fuller added the extra point to put the Panthers up 7-0, but it wouldnt take long for the Cyclones to answer.
Russellville took the ball at their own 32, but one play was all that was needed for a score. Cloud broke free to the right side, breaking a tackle at the Cabot 40-yard line to run in for a 68-yard touchdown run. The extra point tied the score at 7-7.
Fuller really started to flex his muscle on the final Cabot drive in the first quarter. Alec Tripp started the drive off with a pair of rushes; the second went for 35 yards to move deep into Cyclone territory.
Fuller took over from there, with a run for 11 yards to put the ball inside the 20, then ran down the left sideline, diving to hit the pylon with the ball from 12 yards out for the score.
His extra-point attempt was tipped by Russ-ellville, leaving the score at 13-7.
Fuller added three more points for Cabot before the end of the half, with a perfect 37-yard field goal off the left hash mark with 2:21 left in the second quarter.
Russellville managed another score right before halftime on a 10-yard TD pass from Humphrey to Nathan Cathcart with only 11 seconds left before the half. The extra-point narrowed Cabots lead to 16-14 at halftime.
Both teams added a touchdown to their total in the third quarter.
Cabot scored on a one-yard run from Tripp after Fuller moved the ball inside the 5-yard line on a 22-yard run. Tripp punched it in for his first TD all season with 5:54 left in the third.
Russellvilles next score would come through the air as well. Humphrey hit Derek Owens from 14 yards out for the score with 2:45 left in the third quarter.
The extra-point left Cabot with a slim 23-20 lead heading into the final quarter.
Fuller would score one more time on a three-yard run with 9:47 remaining, but his extra-point attempt was blocked once again, putting the Panthers up 29-20.
He then pulled the first of his two interceptions down in the Cabot end zone in what turned out to be the game-saving-play for the Panthers.
Cabot had one more good offensive highlight left.
Tripp broke loose on a run up the middle and took the ball 39 yards for the final Panthers score of the night with 4:09 left in the game. Humphrey added one more score for the Cyclones with a 17-yard TD pass to Madison Beard moments later, but it was not enough.
Russellvilles last march was stopped with another pick from Fuller as the clock expired, ending the night on an appropriate note.
Fuller led the Panthers with 29 carries for 158 yards and two touchdowns, along with a 37-yard field goal and two interceptions.
Wade carried 10 times for 111 yards, and his only pass attempt was completed for a 19-yard touchdown. Tripp carried 12 times for 110 yards, two touchdowns and one fumble. For Russellville, Humphrey was 17 for 23 passing for 174 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. The win ends Cabots season with a final record of 6-4.

FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Sunday, May 5, 2002 http://www.hvcc.edu
Averill Park, N.Y., May 5, 2002 – Two more games,
two more victories for Hudson Valley Community College's women's softball squad.
The Lady Vikings, ranked No. 7 in the nation among
Division III junior colleges, extended their current winning streak to five
games by sweeping a doubleheader against Monroe Community College this
afternoon, 2-1 and 5-1.
With the wins, Hudson Valley finishes the regular season
with a 28-7 record. Hudson Valley is 27-2 in NJCAA Division III Region III
action, and the Lady Vikings captured the Mountain Valley Conference title with
an unblemished 16-0 record.
In the first game against Monroe (26-10 overall, 16-4
Region III), Christyn Hamel's (Averill Park H.S.) solo home run in the
bottom of the third, which put the Lady Vikings ahead, 2-1, proved to be the
winning run. And her right arm was the clincher; she dashed Monroe's hopes for a
come-from-behind win by throwing the final two-thirds of the seventh inning.
Monroe trailed, 2-1, and had a runner on first and second
base when Hamel relieved Kelly Scott (Schuylerville H.S.) on the mound.
There was one out and the Monroe batter had the advantage of a 3-0 count.
Regardless, Hamel overpowered Monroe, quickly getting two shallow fly outs to
end the game and earn a save. Her home run, which sailed over the fence in
left-centerfield at Averill Park's Classie Lassie Softball Field, 224 feet
beyond home plate, was Hudson Valley's first of the season. She also had a
Scott, meanwhile, tossed the first 6.1 innings, allowing
just one run. The changeup specialist scattered five hits and struck out four
batters. She also went 2-for-3 with a stolen base.
Hudson Valley's Kim Prior (Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk
H.S.) had an RBI single in the second inning, scoring Jill Fox (Bishop
Maginn H.S.), who had reached on a single.
Hamel started and went the distance in the second
contest, giving up just three hits and striking out three batters. Monroe's only
run was unearned.
Hudson Valley was down, 1-0, when the bottom of the
fifth inning began. By the end of the frame, thanks to five hits, the Lady
Vikings led, 4-1. They sent nine batters to the plate in the fifth. Hudson
Valley also tacked on one more run in the sixth to post the 5-1 victory.
Lindsey Bradt (Bishop Maginn H.S.) and
Kimberly Welcome (Cohoes H.S.) each had a pair of hits in game two. Bradt
had a triple, two RBI and she scored a run; Welcome had the game-winning RBI.
Catcher Sarah Truax (Shenendehowa H.S.) belted a two-run single.
Truax also was part of a stellar defensive play. In
the fourth inning, with Monroe threatening to score, Truax handled a laser from
centerfield Kiah Narotski (Hoosick Falls H.S.) and nailed a Monroe runner
at the plate. Leftfielder Kim Etman (Berlin H.S.) made a pretty
shoestring grab in the sixth, keeping Monroe's speedy leadoff batter off the
base paths.
Hudson Valley will participate in the NJCAA Division
III Region III tournament, which begins on Tuesday. The winner of the tourney
advances to the national championship tournament. The Lady Vikings have now won
25 of their last 27 games.

Personally, I think the top cover will stand out more fron the regular Presents covers in a book rack.
Personally, if I hadn't had the difference pointed out to me, I wouldn't have spotted it. I'd love to see a major overhaul of the Presents and Presents Extra covers along the lines of the Modern covers in the UK.
I agree with Ros. I probably wouldn't have easily noticed the difference if it hadn't been pointed out. I do like the new one better — the jewelry picture always confused me because I didn't understand the symbolism of it.
I would also love to see Presents and Presents Extra lines follow in the footsteps of M&B Modern and Riva by updating the overall look to something more contemporary and modern.
The look very similar. I also wouldn't have noticed a difference unless it was pointed out.
The difference is so minute, as another reviewer said I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't pointed out.
Hmmm….looks okay. To be honest I never did understand about the jewelery in the diamond.
What Do You Think of Harlequin Presents Extra's Mini-Makeover?
by Amy Wilkins, Harlequin Digital
Harlequin Presents Extra is getting a bit of an update in May. While a lot of the design remains the same, the diamond-shaped graphic with image of jewellery is being updated with a new "Extra" flash in the corner.
Here's an example of the old design:
And the new look:
So what do you think of tweaked design?

Chrysler expects its year-to-date sales of the Fiat 500 in North America will top 27,000 by the end of June, more than it sold in all of 2011, according to Tim Kuniskis, head of the Fiat brand in North America.
Last year, Chrysler sold 19,769 Fiat 500s in the U.S. and a total of 26,294 in North America -- far short of company projections of a total of 50,000 for the year.
Reasons for the shortfall included more time needed than expected to open Fiat dealerships and a delayed national marketing campaign.
This year, with the introduction of the Abarth performance version and eye-catching commercials, the 500 now is getting traction.
"We are very happy with how our sales are going so far this year," said Kuniskis. "The Abarth has been a huge success for us and helped us relaunch the brand."
The Abarth is so popular that dealers have already ordered all of the inventory Chrysler planned to produce this year. The Fiat 500 is made in Toluca, Mexico.
"The Abarth gave us an excuse to take our marketing in a whole other direction," Kuniskis said.
That direction has included Abarth ads featuring bad-boy Charlie Sheen (below), on the heels of a sexy Abarth Super Bowl ad called "Seduction" (above). Both featuring supermodel Catrinel Menghia.

ThimPress saidYes, I really want to see "last updated" date when I am shopping for WordPress plugins. Please give us this as a sorting option. It seems like a win, win, for both the buyers and the sellers as it gives sellers some motivation to update their plugins.
I think you may consider to add "Random" and "Last Updated" in the "Sort by" select box, it will give old and good items a chance to live.
It would be massively abused. Some authors will submit "updates" which will add – for example – only one new icon to the theme. They will do that just to get more exposure for their items. And reviewers can't verify which update is real update and which one is just a fake.
dedalx said
dtbaker saidTotaly agree. With grid view we all will lost sales (people will decide what to buy only by icons and this is not right, or only goes to first items because no one want to mouse hover to every item to see what inside).
Please no grid view default. Hovering over previews scrolling straight down the page is much easier is list view.
+1 for list view.
And hovering is hard on mobile devices. So let's don't fix what is not broken.
^ This would kill the Marketplaces.
Buyer should have access for updates for predetermined time period after the initial purchase. If there have to be changes, let's keep things simple.
So it looks like most of us agree that:
Paid updates > Paid support
Why not start these big changes on Marketplaces from monetizing updates? It's way less controversial.
Astoundify said
Updates is where the value is, if updates are free forever then this is a huge loss for authors selling via Envato Marketplaces. We have always had an option for customers to pay us for support and after 6 months their free support expires and they have the choice to pay for support and for us, buyers do not want to pay for support, we've seen this in our numbers. They just don't see the value in paying for support.
The true value for both buyer and authors is with charging for updates. Buyers will pay for the value that is given in updates as they want to continue to have working/compatible themes/plugins, and new features added. (Customer should not be grandfathered)
Charging for updates should become an opt-in option on the marketplaces and once enough authors switch to this more authors will see the value in providing updates, buyers will be happy and the overall quality on themes/plugins provided on ThemeForest.net should improve over time as files are getting updated more often than when updates were free for the life-time of the product.Envato, you should look at the business models of all the massive WordPress companies, you'll see the trend is that they provide updates and support for a yearly/6month fee.

infortis saidGreat point. I'll make sure we have a discussion about this.
I think there's a serious flaw in the "Category" filter.
TL;DR The new filter system kind of favors the items assigned to subcategories. Assigning an item to a subcategory is optional but themes not assigned to any subcategory can be easily overlooked by customers. Themes not assigned to any subcategory should be displayed under a filter named "General" (or something like that).
Thank you. Is there any timeframe in which this issue will be resolved? Because this can really hurt the sales. It is a major flaw in the search system.
- New faceted search system suggests that ALL items are split into subcategories. But it is not true, a lot of items is not assigned to any subcategory (in "Magento" category most of the best selling items).
- It is inconsistent with the main menu at the top of the page. In main menu when user views all subcategories from the drop-down, he can find all existing items this way. But in faceted search items not assigned to subcategories are displayed only when user clicks the main category (e.g. eCommerce/OpenCart) so a lot of items will be overlooked by users. And users will not even notice that they didn't see all available items.
- Items not assigned to subcategories get much less exposure than items assigned to subcategories.
damirkotoric said
Great point. I'll make sure we have a discussion about this.
Thank you very much.
I see two solutions here:
1. Items which are not assigned to any subcategory are automatically listed under generic filter "General". Like on this example:
2. Alternative solution is to add a new subcategory "General" so that authors can explicitly assign their items to that subcategory.
@pixedelic In your profile settings you can find "Google Analytics" tab.
I think there's a serious flaw in the "Category" filter.
Based on Magento example: http://themeforest.net/category/ecommerce/magento
Magento 379
Entertainment 1
Fashion 75
Health & Beauty 6
Miscellaneous 8
Shopping 97
Technology 18
Current design of the category filter suggests that all Magento themes are divided into ONLY 6 subcategories (Entertainment, Fashion, Health & Beauty etc.)
But of course it's NOT TRUE because most of the themes is not added to any subcategory. In fact most of best selling themes for Magento is added only to "Magento" category, but is not added to any subcategory.
I know that when I click on "Magento 379" filter I will see all Magento themes, but a customer who is first time on ThemeForest will not know that. It is very likely that the customer will start clicking on subcategories, one by one to find the best theme for his site. But it is very unlikely he will click the main category "Magento" again. He will think "I've already seen everything". And he will never get back to the main category "Magento" because design of the category filter suggests that ALL Magento themes are divided into 6 subcategories. So he will never see 174 themes which are not assigned to any subcategory.
Also, themes assigned to subcategory are listed twice: 1. when customer filters "Magento" category, 2. when customer filters the subcategory to which theme is assigned. So the filter system kind of favors the items assigned to subcategories.
Today assigning an item to a subcategory (when author submits an item) is optional, so I think that the "Category" filter should look like this:
Magento 379
GENERAL 174 <—here are all items not assigned to any subcategory
Entertainment 1
Fashion 75
Health & Beauty 6
Miscellaneous 8
Shopping 97
Technology 18
So all the themes which are not assigned to any subcategory should be also listed as a separate filter (it could be named "General" or "Multi-purpose", I'm not sure what's the best option). Otherwise many themes (and in "Magento" category this means: most of the best sellers) will be overlooked by customers because of the new filter system.
The new filter system kind of favors the items assigned to subcategories. Assigning an item to a subcategory is optional but themes not assigned to any subcategory can be easily overlooked by customers. Themes not assigned to any subcategory should be displayed under a filter named "General" (or something like that).

I'm not sure if this is related to these latest changes in support system but there seem to be some errors with the emails which buyers send to authors via contact form on author profile page. I reported the details via your support form on help.market.envato.com (I think details shouldn't be in public) but it usually takes days to get answer so if someone from your team want to check it faster the ticket ID is 75966
