Citing your sources
Footnotes are not just busy work. It's very important that you give credit where credit is due by indicating where you found specific pieces of information. If you don't cite your sources, or if you copy or paraphrase text without attribution, you are implying that you are the creator of that information, and obviously that's not the case most of the time. Plagiarism is one of the most serious breaches of academic ethics, and it can ruin your career.
What you can cite
It's fine to cite these kinds of literature in your assignments, papers, and lab reports:
You should generally NOT cite things like this:
Citation Style
When it comes to formatting your references in your papers and reports, you should use the accepted "style" for that discipline. Styles vary quite a bit, but in chemistry you will typically use the ACS Style Guide as your rule book. The Guide is available as an e-book, as well as on reserve in the Chemistry Library. Links to various examples based on it can be found under the "Style Guides" tab on our Chemistry Guide.

Movie actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay's Chris Martin are going to separate as husband and wife - but in characteristic Goop style, Gwyneth posted the announcement on her lifestyle blog, followed by an essay by Drs. Saedghi and Sami on "Conscious Uncoupling."
Paltrow's message, titled "Conscious Uncoupling" reads:
It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate. We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been. We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time. We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.
Gwyneth & Chris
For those unfamiliar with Goop, Paltrow's site has been mocked and derided regularly through the years for its pompous lecturing. Weekly emails with advice on how to be just like her - with tips on everything from detoxing to bowel movements to getting rid of your "New Year's butt."
The NY Post in 2009 cited these gems from her site:
On exercise: "[My trainer] sent me this [DVD] for the New Year's butt. It's really hard. But do it like she says to do it, and I swear that in 10 days you will see your butt change shape."
On elimination: "If your bowel movements get sluggish, you can accelerate things by drinking half a cup of castor oil or using a mild herbal laxative."
On detoxing: "I like to do fasts and detoxes a couple of times during the year, the most hard-core one being the Master Cleanse I did last spring . . . As I do not wish to subsist on lemon water in the middle of winter, I asked my doctor, a detox diet specialist, for the guidelines he uses to achieve a good detox that is not as hallucinogenic (in a bad way) as the Master Cleanse. He actually thinks that the Master Cleanse can be dangerous because the liver is not supported by the nutrients it needs."
The essay that follows Chris Martin's and Gwyneth Paltrow's announcement says that marriage hasn't evolved with modern man's longer life spans and divorce doesn't mean your relationship wasn't successful.
If we can recognize that our partners in our intimate relationships are our teachers, helping us evolve our internal, spiritual support structure, we can avoid the drama of divorce and experience what we call a conscious uncoupling. A conscious uncoupling is the ability to understand that every irritation and argument was a signal to look inside ourselves and identify a negative internal object that needed healing.
"Underneath that psychobabble is the message that goes along with all Goop productions: Even Gwyneth's separation is better than yours," Slate summarizes. "The announcement of the split is accompanied by a gorgeous photograph of the supremely actualized couple lounging in the grass. After the news broke, a friend of mine texted, 'Honestly it made me want to get divorced! And I am not even married.'"

Dinner Kitchen Towel - $49.00
Linen is a sustainable plant fiber that is very absorbent and fast drying. The medium-weight yarn and loose structure of this hand-woven towel enhance these qualities and make the towel a pleasure to handle. The more often you use it, the softer it will become and the quicker it will dry hands and dishes.
This Kitchen Towel style has unique selvages, machine-stitched hems for easy care, and a small cotton loop for hanging.
Recommended Care:
Machine wash, warm. Line dry. Iron, warm. Wash dark colors separately.
100% linen
approx. 16" x 30"
Made on Annette Aylward's wooden floor loom in her studio in Northern California.
About the Manufacturer
Annette Aylward designs and makes small-scale, hand-woven linen goods for the home with quality and sustainability in mind. She describes her work as carrying both calm and simplicity. Inspired by linen cloth produced by her great-grandparents' family in Germany, Annette started weaving a few years ago and was immediately fascinated by the process. She also realized how perfect hand-woven linen cloth is for everyday use. Linen is a sustainable and naturally anti-microbial fiber that absorbs moisture very quickly, dries fast, becomes even thirstier with each use, and washes well. The slightly heavier yarn and loose weave texture of a hand-woven product enhance these features and make it a real pleasure to handle the cloth. All of her hand-woven products have been created in a slow process on a floor loom. They may show minor imperfections and irregularities which are manifests of the manual weaving process.

Publication Day: The Coldest Night by Robert OlmsteadApril 3, 2012 • 18 Comments • category: Algonquin Books Blog
Robert Olmstead is the author of the national bestseller Coal Black Horse and Far Bright Star, which won the Western Writers of America Spur Award. An amazing writer whose work has been compared to Cormac McCarthy and Crane's Red Badge of Courage, his latest work The Coldest Night has already started getting rave reviews from media and booksellers.
To celebrate the publication day of this new book, we'll be giving away 3 copies. Leave a comment below to enter!
About the Book:
Award-winning novelist Robert Olmstead mounts a fast-moving tale of a love story—as destructive as it is irresistible—that sets a boy's course toward an epic and life-changing battle. Henry Childs is just seventeen when he falls into a love affair so intense it nearly consumes him. But when young Mercy's disapproving father threatens Henry's life, Henry runs as far as he can–to the other side of the world.
It is 1950, and the Korean War hangs in the balance. Descended from a long line of soldiers, Henry enlists in the marines and arrives in Korea on the eve of the brutal seventeen-day battle of the Chosin Reservoir–the turning point of the war–completely unprepared for the forbidding Korean landscape and the unimaginable circumstances of a war well beyond the scope of anything his ancestors ever faced. But the challenges he meets upon his return home, scarred and haunted, are greater by far.
Robert Olmstead's riveting new novel is not only a passionate story of love and war, it is a timeless and contemporary story of soldiers coming home to a country with little regard for, and even less knowledge of, what they've confronted. Through Henry, Olmstead charts the unspoken truth about combat: that for many men, the experience of war is the most enlivening, electric, and extraordinary experience of their lives.
Praise for The Coldest Night:
"Thought-provoking [and] unabashedly romantic" —O, The Oprah Magazine
"[An] elegiac, gritty coming-of-age novel." ––Publishers Weekly, starred review
"It's extremes that rivet us in Olmstead's searing seventh novel: the heaven of first love; the hell of the battlefield . . . Olmstead's extraordinary language gives us new eyes. An exceptionally fine study of love, war and the double-edged role of memory, which can both sustain and destroy. Prize-winning material."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Olmstead (Coal Black Horse) has a spare, direct style that is most effective in the brilliant, engrossing combat descriptions and ironic marine banter."–Library Journal
"Olmstead employs different authorial voices to shape the story. At times the tone is mythic, at times surreal . . . The Coldest Night is powerful, and often beautiful, storytelling." —Booklist

This book has been on my radar since I read about it in February. I've seen comparisons of Mr. Olmstead's style to Hemmingway and Cormac McCarthy so I definitely believe "gritty" will be part of the novel's tone. I'm looking forward to being immersed in the coming of age of Henry Childs.

I have just read this excerpt and am already hooked! I love the raw and yet rich descriptions of the mountains, forests and life in this community. I could smell the earth and flowers and feel the cold of the air on my skin whilst I read.
I do love to read accounts of lives in worlds so far away from my own. If I don't win this book I'll look out for it anyway. Good luck with this one Robert!

Is this cntest over? Or can I still hope to win?
My father is a Korean War veteran. He told me once something similar to what I read elsewhere about this book. He was in combat in Korea He talked about how awful it was to come home and walk among people who did not share his experience, didn't know a thing about it, and didn't care.

In an article on The Blaze, we see this:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has refused a group of doctors' request to block implementation of the nation's new health care law. Chief Justice John Roberts turned away without comment Monday an emergency stay request from the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons [snip]...[/snip] They asked the chief justice Friday to temporarily block the law, saying Congress had passed it incorrectly by starting it in the Senate instead of the House.

The man turns a penalty into a tax so that it's not "unConstitutional" and then ignores a totally valid reason to throw Obamacare out. We can't even trust the highest ranking "conservative" jurist to follow his oath to the Constitution.

Scott & White hospitals in Temple continue to treat five patients following a deadly explosion at a fertilizer plant in West.
Three patients are at the main hospital in Temple, with two listed in critical condition and one in fair condition, according to a news release. McLane Children's Hospital is treating two pediatric trauma patients — one in critical condition and the other in serious condition.
Blood donations are needed as hospitals work to treat the injured, a Carter BloodCare news release stated.
The blood center is sending supplies to hospitals treating patients from the explosion. Blood "will be in great demand over the next two weeks" as officials work to replenish supplies used after Wednesday's explosion, the news release stated.
Scott & White's Blood Donation Center in Temple, The Robertson Blood Center at Fort Hood and Walmart in Killeen and Harker Heights are hosting blood drives throughout the weekend.
Melissa Purl, Seton Medical Center Harker Heights spokeswoman, said the hospital is not treating any patients from the explosion, but is dedicated to helping in any way it can.
"Blood donations will be an ongoing thing," Purl said, adding officials hope to have a donation drive early next week as blood continues to be needed.
In an effort to provide supplies and relief, Metroplex Hospital launched a "Friends of West" needs drive. Employees, physicians and residents are encouraged to drop off donations of soap, lotion, wash-wipes, shampoo, personal care products, towels, diapers, blankets and water at the hospital's emergency department until Monday. Metroplex staff will meet Monday with Red Cross representatives in Waco.
The hospital needs volunteers to track and collect items throughout the weekend. To volunteer, call (254) 519-8200.

FS#484 - module slamr does not exist bug STILL EXISTS (not cured)
Hi, sorry to have to report, I just tried to install (with a proven DVD download of E17 compiz) on a 2nd computer, Intel MB DG45FC. First problem was it would not recognize display resolution, I am using Mitsubishi Diamond Digital, wide screen (16 x 9) and factory default setting called for is 1280 x 768 at 60HZ—which is in listed choices upon installation, nor any other resolution including auto? This is a 64bit machine, I have the DVD installed OK, no problem, on a Gigabyte 32bit MB.
I kept trying, over and over and somehow was able to "force" installation after being given a choice to use a pre-existing resolution(?) Install completed, fine tune came up and stopped at: "module slamr does not exist in /proc/modules. Also, internet connect was not able to be made, no matter what I tried so I can make no correction through apt-get, Synaptic or .deb. I also got a notice that e17 economorph failed to install because of some file in libdecorate(?) was trying to overwrite an already existing file. Not being technically capable, I haven't a clue.
But please, do not fool yourself into thinking the slamr "bub" has been corrected and gone away, it is still there.
This task does not depend on any other tasks.
Wednesday, 20 January 2010, 02:50 GMT
slamr is fixed
Can you check which other problems you still having in a updated version of elive development ? (included compiz)

The Watford punk band, who gained critical acclaim with their debut Orchestra Of Wolves, say they will be sticking to their guns despite the fact they have more resources at their disposal this time around.
"The pressure is on us now to make an album which makes us feel as proud as we were of the last one," bassist Stu Gili-Ross told Newsbeat.
"The production sounds on the last album were all intentional, that's how we wanted it to sound. We were a bit limited by the resources and we had to make it sound as gritty as we wanted but I think it came across.
"You definitely won't be hearing a very polished and clean record from Gallows on the next album."
Touring heavily
The band are currently in the middle of writing their second album and are hoping to head into the studio at the end of June early July.
The five-piece also admitted that they can't wait to work on the new material after touring so heavily for their debut which was initially released in September 2006 and then re-released last summer.
"We toured our first record for 18 months all around the world," explains Gili-Ross. "There's only so long you can give the passion to those same songs for that amount of time so we're looking forward to just playing the whole new album live.
Despite their tour frustrations, Gili-Ross said the band have been having a lot of fun coming up with working titles for the second record.
"When we do working titles for songs we tend to give them funny names so we recognise them," he joked.
"We've got one song we had initially called Swedophile because it is influenced by a lot of Swedish bands. We've changed it to Love Leeches now."
Gallows recently appeared at Radio 1's Big Weekend and they are due to headline the Radio 1 Lock Up stage at this year's Reading and Leeds festivals on August 22-24.
What are these?

By Evan Paskach | Minnesota State News
ST. PAUL — Organizations spent more than $59 million in lobbying expenses last year according to information released by the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board today.
Topping the list was Xcel Energy at $2.36 million, followed by the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce at just over $2 million. The two were the only groups that broke the $2 million mark.
Rounding out the rest of the top five was the Minnesota Business Partnership ($980,000), the Minneapolis Radiation Oncology Physicians ($820,000) and the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities ($820,000).
Several tribal and gambling related groups were among groups that spent more than $300,000. Canterbury Park also spent $460,000 on lobbying efforts.
Education Minnesota, the state's public school teachers union, fell out of the top five in 2011, spending $500,000 in 2011 compared to $900,000 in 2010.
Several other unions were among the top spenders in 2011, including MN AFL-CIO ($820,000) and MAPE, the Minnesota Association of Professional Employees ($300,000).
The Alliance for a Better Minnesota, a liberal advocacy group with direct ties to the Dayton Administration and Dayton family, increased spending in 2011 to $670,000, a huge jump from the $16,664 it spent in 2010 on lobbying efforts. In 2009, the only year in which ABM reported lobbying activities, the group spent $45,888. ABM's expansion of lobbying presence is especially noteworthy given recent scrutiny of their extraordinary access to the governor's office.
The deadline for groups to report expenditures was Thursday, March 15.

Anna Graceman Delivers Her 'True Colors' On 'America's Got Talent'
Anna Graceman took the 'America's Got Talent' stage on Tuesday in pursuit of the finals, but will she find her place among the Top 4? The young hopeful delivered a big-voiced rendition of Cyndi Lauper's 'True Colors' while standing on a grassy knoll at the center of the stage without her usual piano crutch.
The 11-year-old favorite gave it her all, but still pulled some light criticism from the judges. Piers told her that she "missed quite a few notes and it was flat," but on the biggest notes, she was absolute perfection. He made the "obvious comparison" to Jackie from last season, though he did say, "I don't think she had a voice that was as big as yours."
Sharon wasn't too pleased by Anna's grassy perch, and told her that she would have liked to see her work the stage a bit more. Howie, ever the optimist, told Anna, "you're brilliant, you're already a star."
When the preteen got a chance to explain herself, she told the judges that she didn't use a piano because she "wanted to connect with my audience," and said she felt it got in the way sometimes — quite a mature realization for someone her age.
As for us, we loved Anna's take on Cyndi and believe she'll go far … Even if it's not in this competition.
Watch Anna Graceman Perform 'True Colors' on 'America's Got Talent'

Summary:Killer deal! I was looking for new boots to go along with my new shape skis (X-Screams Series) and I found them. Instead of paying a fortune for Langs, I stumbled upon these while I was out in Tahoe. I noticed the ski patrollers were skiing on Dalbello and I never heard of them. When the guy said it was the best boot he ever owned, I had to try them. He wasn't kidding. I love the comfort and feel, plus I was able to get them for more than half the price of a pair of new Lang's.

Summary:I owned for the longest time, the Salomon SX-91 Equipe and loved the ease of the rear entry. With the advent of the shape ski however, the Salomon boots were rendered obsolete. I have virtually a flat foot, and needed support and comfort in my feet and ankles. When I was looking for a new boot, I happen to be skiing up in Heavenly. I noticed the ski patrol guys were all wearing Dalbello boots, and several of the guys were wearing the TRX-8 Customs. Even though I never heard of Dalbello, I kept an open mind and was willing to try something different based on their recommendations for comfort and quality.
I'm glad I listened. When I got back to Southern California, I noticed that Chick's was selling them at more than 45% off. Well, the rest is history. I use to think that the Salomon brand was the best fit for me. These TRX-8's are very comfortable, as well as a perfect boot for an advanced/expert skier. I highly recommend these boots!

Summary:Although these boots appeared to fit and flex well in the ski shop, they became uncomfortable and stiff in actual ski conditions. With shaped skiis, I was unable to get down and forward on the ski due to the lack of boot flexibility. Also, the oweners manual was deplorable - It was a manual designed for several pairs of boots and in 5 different languages - OK that's tolerable, but the real problem is that the boot I purchsed wan't even covered in the manual! Also, there is no way to determine the settings for inclination and stiffness, so it is extemely difficult to adjust both boots to the same setting. The manufacturer really needs to do their homework on this one.

Currently EVAL is implemented by sharing IR1-producing code with the compiler, then interpreting the IR1. When I nuke the IR1 interpreter, then EVAL will look more like (DEFUN EVAL (FORM) (FUNCALL (COMPILE NIL `(LAMBDA () ,FORM)))) although it won't be quite this simple, since it needs to call MACROEXPAND and check for EVAL-WHEN, and since it's probably worth handling some simple cases specially without calling the compiler. As far as I can see, the only real problem caused by nuking the IR1 interpreter is that this EVAL will be slower than the current one, since COMPILE does not only IR1 conversion but also translation into (native or byte) code. Since I've never run across a good reason to run EVAL in a bottleneck of your code, I don't think this will be important. COMPILE and COMPILE-FILE ordinarily generate native code, not byte code. Call DISASSEMBLE on a function and see. (Also see that the native code contains a lot of extra loads and stores, alas.) Byte code is generated if you declare (OPTIMIZE (SPEED 0)). -- William Harold Newman <william.newman@...> software consultant PGP key fingerprint 85 CE 1C BA 79 8D 51 8C B9 25 FB EE E0 C3 E5 7C

I am disappointed that the United States Supreme Court has decided not to review this important case. Rhode Island and 47 other states entered into the Interstate Agreement on Detainers in good faith. That Agreement authorizes Governors to refuse a prisoner transfer request when it would violate the custodial state's public policy. I invoked the Agreement to block the transfer of Mr. Pleau to federal custody because it appeared that the sole purpose of that transfer was to subject Mr. Pleau to the death penalty -- a penalty that Rhode Island has long rejected. The federal government was obligated to respect Rhode Island's right, as a co-equal party to the Agreement, to refuse to transfer this prisoner. That it did not and that the federal courts did not enforce the express terms of the Agreement is cause for concern both for the future of the Agreement and for our federalism.
I want to thank the National Governors Association, which represents the Governors of all 50 states, the Council of State Governments, the National Conference of State Legislatures, the Cato Institute, the Independence Institute, the ACLU, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the National Legal Aid & Defender Association, various offices of the Federal Defender, the Rhode Island Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Puerto Rico Bar Association, the National Association of Extradition Officials, and the Attorneys General of Ohio, New Mexico, Alaska, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, and Kansas -- widely disparate groups all of whom filed amicus briefs with the Court in support of Rhode Island's position in this case. I also wish to thank Patricia A. Millett and the law firm of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld for the exceptional work they did on this case -- all of it without charge to the taxpayers of the State of Rhode Island.
As I have repeatedly said, my involvement in this case was not about Mr. Pleau personally, but rather about critical states' rights issues.

After all, who would want to be a Democrat as we go into 2013?
Don't be fooled by that tough-guy act.
Yes, yes, we know that the Democrats own the future with the educated, the young, the black, and the Hispanic. And Republicans have just got to learn to speak Hispanic. Even Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan seem to agree.
But my suspicion is that the old song had it right. The new Democratic majority has gone about as far as it can go. You can tell that in the subtext of Democratic policy this holiday season, which seems to be: entitlements today, entitlements tomorrow, entitlements forever.
There is something vaguely familiar about that catchphrase.
Here is how I explain it.
Back in 1989, the Democrats panicked. They had just lost three presidential elections in a row, first to an amiable dunce and finally to a New England blue-blood. How bad can it get?
The new strategy, we can now see, was fiendishly clever. Democrats would feint towards the middle, as in New Democrats, while playing race politics with blacks and Hispanics. And they would use their cultural power to put the mark of Cain on the religious right and social conservatism. Remember how they demonized Pat Buchanan's speech at the 1992 National Republican Convention?
On winning the 1992 election by splitting the Republicans with Ross Perot and demonizing the Bush economy with "worst economy in the last 50 years," the Democrats gave it all back in 1994 with the first Republican Congress elected in 40 years.
The Dems kept the ship afloat in 1996 with the help of Dick Morris and welfare reform, but they failed to extinguish the Republican Congress. In 2000 they almost kept the presidency with an October Surprise on W's DUI.
Fortunately, the razor-thin loss in 2000 gave the Dems an opportunity. They decided not to concede the election but instead keep their partisans at white heat for the next eight years, railing against anything that would stick on the wall. It all finally came together in the 2006 and 2008 elections, with big Democratic majorities in Congress and America's first black president.
This is where things start to go wrong.

Electronic Switches
Publication Date4/13/04
Read full article onlineFull Article
The fundamental building block of modern electronic circuits is the switching element, typically a transistor, which can be used to perform computational operations when assembled into digital circuits. The number of devices on such circuits, or chips, has increased at a staggering rate, even exceeding the expectations of Moore's law, which predicts a doubling in areal density of devices about every 2 years. Devices are now routinely manufactured with submicron precision using the top-down approaches of photolithography, masking, and etching to produce complex circuits in silicon. A contemporary microprocessor produced by such methodology can have in excess of 40 million transistors, and this figure is likely to grow at least in accordance with Moore's law in the next 5 to 10 years. However, can this phenomenon continue beyond then? Beyond that horizon, the further downsizing of silicon devices throws up some seemingly insurmountable problems. The cost of manufacturing devices approaching nanoscale dimensions using top-down methodologies may well be prohibitive, but physical as well as financial constraints may prevail. Semiconductor junctions and oxide barriers may not have satisfactory performance when minimized to nanometer dimensions. For instance, ultrathin oxide barriers leak charge, or semiconductor junctions may not exhibit sufficiently developed band structure. In addition, thermal dissipation is already a problem for state-of-the-art chips and these problems will become more difficult to solve as the areal density of silicon-based devices is increased.
Given these problems on the horizon of the silicon industries road map for future miniaturization, many believe that there should be a paradigm shift in the architecture of devices. Such an approach would be the use of bottom-up methodology, in which molecular wires, nanoparticles, nanotubes, and other molecular structures are organized into functional units, using the methods of synthetic chemistry and self-assembly. Richard P. Feynman, in his classic talk, "There Is Plenty of Room at the Bottom," envisaged the development of nanotechnologies, and these bottom-up methodologies may help us in understanding how this "room at the bottom" may be exploited. Needless to say, the wiring, addressing, and organization of large-scale arrays of nanodevices will provide immense challenges. As a result, nanotechnology is more likely to first appear in hybrid technologies that integrate elements of nanometer devices with conventional micrometer technologies. Indeed, magnetic nanoparticles are already working their way into magnetic storage technologies.

Hi all,
When we make our trip down from CT to Holden Beach, NC, I always want to look for some good bbq places. Our trip will probably take us all the way around to either Gettysburg or antietam first (I'm a civil war history buff), then we'll take i-95 down to i-40 in nc. Anyone got any suggestions for some good BBQ pit stops along the way?
We'll also be heading through SC on our way over to TN to spend some time at home. So if anyone knows of some good places near Columbia SC (only big city I know of that we go through) please lemme know!

Lit Flicks Summer Movie Series
Lit Flicks
See how great books can turn into film classics!
Prior to each film, enjoy some popcorn and kick back for a short conversation by film and literary experts. This will be facilitated by Tod Goldberg, director of UCR Palm Desert's low-residency MFA program.
After each film, there will be a brief discussion to talk about the adaptation, what worked, what didn't and what the director left out. We also encourage everyone to read the books that inspired these great films.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) considered what was the latest research at the time when crafting their policy statement, "Climatic Heat Stress and Exercising Children and Adolescents." One of the most important take-away messages in the report is that, "contrary to previous thinking, youth do not have less effective thermoregulatory ability, insufficient cardiovascular capacity, or lower physical exertion tolerance compared with adults during exercise in the heat when adequate hydration is maintained."
This should bring relief to concerned parents of young athletes, but it is by no means a license to push children and teens to exercise hard or long in high heat. The policy statement points out that heat-related illness in kids is the result of a number of known risk factors, including:
If your child has a chronic health condition or is taking medication, check with your family doctor or pediatrician about how this might affect his or her ability to exercise in the heat.
If you have young athletes in your house, take steps to ensure they stay safe when exercising in the heat. According to the AAP, you should:

This is regarding the long lines at the local Department of Motor Vehicles office. California and other states long have had a computerized call-in appointment system, which staff and customers both adore. There is still a walk-up window for those who don't wish to make an appointment.
Why can't Georgia have this system? Yes, it would cost money. You might have to pay another dollar a year for your car registration fee. Wouldn't it be worth it? But folks, they won't do it unless we the people nag them into doing it.

An RCMP spokesman says the health centre in Old Perlican is now "deemed safe" due to a heavy police presence, and the search is now on for an individual suspected of making an unspecified threat late this morning.
The health centre is open for emergencies only, and an early dismissal is also planned for nearby Baccalieu Collegiate, which was placed in secure mode this afternoon.
Police officers rushed to the community in large numbers after receiving word that a person had issued a threat, and the health centre was placed on lock-down.
Police are not confirming the nature of the threat, or if an altercation took place at the health centre. Police are also stressing that no threat was made towards the school, and do not believe there is a threat to the general public.
The place-of-residence of the suspect is not known, but an officer said the suspect is not an employee at the health centre.
The Compass will have more information as it becomes available.

Paris (AFP) Nov 07, 2012
At least 600 French nationals who went to New York for the city's marathon are seeking compensation from travel agents who they say should have known Hurricane Sandy would lead to the race's cancellation, their lawyer said Wednesday.
They want to be repaid the roughly 3,000 euros ($3,800) they spent on a package that included flights and hotel room, and damages of 2,000 euros per runner and 1,000 euros for accompanying friends or relatives, said Dimitri Pincent.
He said a formal demand for compensation had been sent to the two main travel agents involved, Thomas Cook and France Marathon. He added that he expected more disappointed runners to join the group making the claim.
"Before leaving, everybody was asking whether it was technically and morally acceptable to run in New York," but the information provided by the firms was "extremely limited and tendentious", said Pincent.
Some runners phoned their travel agents before departure to ask if they should travel to New York and "they were told 'you have to go, otherwise we will not reimburse you'", said the lawyer.
There was no immediate reaction from the two travel firms.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg cancelled the annual race -- which draws around 45,000 runners -- two days before it was slated to be held last Sunday.
He had earlier sought to allow it to go ahead, but a chorus of opposition grew in the days after Sandy hit the area, with local politicians, media and even runners calling for the event to be cancelled or postponed.
Sandy slammed 15 eastern US states and prompted a huge tidal surge that killed at least 109 people in the United States and Canada and caused tens of billions of dollars worth of damage.
The coastal regions of New York and New Jersey were hit hardest when Sandy crashed ashore on October 29.

This post is published on behalf of Susan Casserly Griffin at Brainjuicer. You may contact her at email@example.com.
As part of our ongoing work helping companies accelerate the innovation process through insightful market research, Brain Juicer (www.brainjuicer.com ) regularly facilitates round table discussions with our clients, with thought leaders and general practitioners to just talk about issues that keep us up at night.
Last year we began a series of roundtables across the US and the UK between practitioners in market research, branding and new product development addressing the whole concept of the challenges to innovation and innovators themselves. We videotape these discussions, because even more than your average conference presentation, this is the unvarnished heartfelt sentiments of folks in the trenches.
The roundtable attendees may work or have worked at some of the best companies in the world, but they have seen the "inside of the sausage factory" and they know the thrill of victory and, well, the agonies of the failed product launch.
We like to share these windows into our roundtables, not because they reveal earthshattering solutions but rather that there are common truths that affect all practitioners in the broad discipline called "innovation". And we would love to provoke more discussion, and perhaps some controversy, if that emerges!
It goes without saying that the process of innovation is not easy, and it is geometrically more difficult for large companies with huge investments in processes and brands and firmly held assumptions about consumer insights. Radical departures are inherently risky. Innovations too often seem to be happy accidents, and the process of invention is at its core a messy business, that seems to defy systemization. Big companies have a low threshold for "mess" and an even more ingrained aversion to the "f" word: failure.
So in the roundtables we have been delighted at the candor of innovation practitioners who aren't airing the laundry as much as they are revealing the hidden frustrations that are organizational, individual and to a certain extent come with the territory of building sustainability, reliable, repeatable processes for innovation in large companies.
We would love to include others in this process of sharing experiences and hopefully making the discipline more successful (or at least less painful). And we would be interested to see how this roundtable concept could be extended to a broader group.
We welcome thoughts about the video clips as well as more food for thought.

Residents in some Illinois counties sent a message to lawmakers this week: Give citizens the right to carry concealed weapons.
Measures supporting concealed carry were on the ballot Tuesday in at least 10 mostly rural counties — Adams, Bond, Henry, McDonough, Mercer, Randolph, Rock Island, Schuyler, Stephenson and Warren — and passed overwhelmingly in every one.
The votes were non-binding because local law cannot override state law. But advocates say they hope to build pressure on lawmakers to support concealed carry.
Illinois is the only state where carrying a concealed weapon is entirely illegal.

Speaking of Muslims and the Internet…
Islamists using US video games in youth appeal – Yahoo! News
Tech-savvy militants from al Qaeda and other groups have modified video war games so that U.S. troops play the role of bad guys in running gunfights against heavily armed Islamic radical heroes, Defense Department official and contractors told Congress.
"Battlefield 2" ordinarily shows U.S. troops engaging forces from China or a united Middle East coalition. But in a modified video trailer posted on Islamic Web sites and shown to lawmakers, the game depicts a man in Arab headdress carrying an automatic weapon into combat with U.S. invaders.
In another article, a Pentagon consultant observed, "You can see where the games are set to psychologically condition you to go kill coalition forces."
Gee, sounds a lot like how most of Hollywood's Middle East themed movies (e.g., "True Lies", "Blackhawk Down") video games treat Muslims.
Here's a video clip of the modified games.

Why Contractors Must Give Searchers the Right Type of Content
For most local internet marketing professionals, the purpose of SEO is usually to make sure that users are finding your website. Typically, marketers are satisfied if people make it to any page of their website. However, to really improve the quality of your online interactions with your customers, you need to take SEO one step further. As users get better at searching, your contractor business needs to be ready to give them the content that they want.
Make the Search Easier for Consumers
By considering searchers' intent, you can deliver the type of content that they're actually searching for, which will result in more leads for your contractor business. It's important to keep in mind that before people become your customers, they'll shop around for contractors first. They're in information-gathering mode, which precedes buying mode.
Help Your Customers Gather Information
Here's how the principle can be applied to your contractor business. We'll use roofers as an example. When users type in "roofers," that's a signal that they're just gathering information about roofers in their geographical area. That's when they should be directed to more information about your contractor business. Whether it's in form of a video, a blog post, or an online tutorial, the user should be able to find the content he needs to make an informed decision. Take this opportunity to point out how your business differs from your competition, but don't try to book orders.
If users are driven to buy before they've collected enough information about your business, they might be turned away.
Be There When They're Ready to Buy
When the user searches for "make an appointment with a roofer," they're ready to hire your business. In fact, it may be a roofing emergency that needs to be handled right away. These users should be directed to your website's Contact Us page or online appointment form. Your company phone number should also be prominent on the page. Also, make sure that your company's pricing and service descriptions are clearly listed on this page.
Keep Customers on Your Website
If you provide customers with the right type of content, they're less likely to leave your website to restart their search. In fact, Google measures the amount of time that users come to your website and leave right away, it's called the bounce rate. If your bounce rate is high, people are not finding the right type of information and you're missing out on an opportunity to connect with a potential customer. So, make sure your website is hooked up to Google Analytics and that you're checking it frequently. If you want us to take a look at your website to see what's working and what's not, we'll do it for free. All you need to do is visit us here and schedule your free consultation and we'll do the rest.
