DEER LAKE A Deer Lake man, arrested again this week on several breaches of the Highway Traffic Act, is not even allowed to sit in the driver's seat of any motorized vehicle.
Anthony Strickland, 35, was arrested after RCMP officers saw him driving in Deer Lake Thursday. He was known to police to be without a driver's licence and had a history of driving anyway. He already owes more than $8,000 in fines and was set to appear in court in April in relation to four outstanding driving offences.
Thursday he was charged with driving without a licence and breaching an undertaking. He appeared in provincial court in Corner Brook Friday, and Crown attorney Michael Fox agreed to release him on a recognizance. The conditions included a $5,000 surety, while he must remain in a Deer Lake residence between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. and is not allowed to operate any motor vehicle, or permitted in the driver's seat of any motor vehicle, regardless of whether it is running or not. Strickland must also attend court if he has any change of address.
Strickland must return to court April 16, the same date as was set for his previous charges. In December, he was arrested in Corner Brook following a traffic stop. He was charged with operating a motor vehicle without a valid driver's license, operating a motor vehicle without insurance, operating a motor vehicle with a defective windshield, and failing to notify of a transfer of vehicle ownership.
The vehicle he was driving in December was impounded by police.

Feel like visiting the Space Coast's most famous places? Google's Street View has unveiled some behind-the-scene panoramic views of NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
Space shuttle fans should enjoy seeing the storied orbiters in the final months of their decommissioning from the space center, says Google's Ryan Falor, who heads the mapping effort's special collections team.
The Street View images tour the center's Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) ("ginormous", Falor says) as well as shuttle launch pads and control rooms. About 6,000 photos were taken for the effort, part of a celebration of the 50th anniversary of NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
"We really try to bring people a lot closer to the launch pad," Falor says. His favorite was the zip-line basket meant for emergency crew escapes -- in emergencies they were intended to travel from the top of the space shuttle to an armored rescue vehicle on the ground. "Apparently it was a pretty rough ride," he adds.
"It's quite fitting we did this around the 50th anniversary," Falor concludes, noting the images show a time and facilities from the end of the space shuttle era, before Atlantis and Endeavor headed to the museum, and some facilities headed for the wrecking ball. "There's a tremendous amount of history there," he says.

Governor Approves Extension of Personal Watercraft Exemption
Governor Andrew Cuomo has signed into law legislation that extends an exemption for jet ski and personal watercraft renters from New York's boater safety course requirement.
The measure (S.5372) was sponsored by Senator Betty Little. The law, set to expire January 1, 2012, will be extended to January 2013. Little said the exemption limits operation to a specified area where the watercraft is rented.
"This is important for marinas and small businesses that rely on the rentals of personal watercraft to stay afloat financially," said Little. "It's a reasonable exemption in support of recreation and tourism and I am happy to see it continue."

STS-108: A Return to Space (December 5, 2001)
Meeting Buzz Aldrin
Rocket Winter
The Spaceships of 2001 (ISS and Mir)
Aftermath: A New York Journal
My AstroWeb
The crew of STS-108 on their way to
the spacecraft before lift-off. [NASA photo]
Tonight, for the second straight night, I ended up at the one place in New York City I had been most uneasy about visiting since the attack: the top of the Empire State Building. Visiting this most legendary landmark--strangely, once again New York's tallest building--right after Tom Ridge's latest terrorism warning felt a bit like, I'd imagine, going to North Carolina's Outer Banks during hurricane season, but I was on a mission that superceded all fear: to watch the Space Shuttle Endeavour rocketing into orbit, the first Shuttle flight since September 11. The Empire State Building--a short walk from my office--is the one nearby place that guarantees me a relatively unobtructed view of the sky in all directions, and I had previously witnessed one shuttle launch from there. They launch the missions to service the International Space Station (ISS) right up the U.S. East Coast, a little out to sea, so you can see the last minute and a half from when it clears its horizon to when its main engine burns out and it enters orbit.
Last night I watched the International Space Station pass over, looking like a steady, bright star slowly arcing out of the west, but the shuttle itself was not to be seen. When I got home, I discovered the flight had been scrubbed due to high winds, and rescheduled for today. The forecast was for it to quickly cloud up, but it stayed clear. I had gotten the time wrong, and had to run up to the Empire State Building, but there was no line for tickets so I got there with time to spare. To the south I could see the floodlit area around Ground Zero The groundsmoke that had been evident yesterday was not visible. I watched the lights of airplanes trace their arcs across the sky, a small part of me expecting to sight a low-flying jet heading straight towards us. (Particularly disconcerting were the planes they flew right up the Hudson River, though they were reasonably high up.)
A few stars and planets (Fomalhaut, Mars) were visible. At the appointed time, I looked to the southeast, and saw a light arcing up with the right trajectory and speed. I thought it was the Shuttle, but wasn't totally sure that it wasn't a plane until after a minute it abruptly disappeared as its main engine cut off. It was quite a moving sight, watching it emerge from the same wide-field naked-eye view as Ground Zero, hopefully a sign of better things to come. [I understand it's carrying the flag recovered from the WTC site, as well as smaller flags and memorobilia to be given to the families of victims of the attack.] I took one last walk around the observation deck, looking at the beauty of the Chrysler Building, then took the elevator down while I was still ahead of the game. Maybe now I'll be able to look at the Empire State Building from near my office, where it extends nearly a third of the way into the sky, without imagining what would happen if it were to get hit.
Due to new security procedures, little or no advance warning is being given for shuttle launches, so it is unlikely that I will be able to observe any more in this manner for the foreseeable future.

Where the Rubber Meets the Road: U.S. 101 Pavement Rehab Projects
Getting it Done on U.S. 101.
Some of the most scenic pavement in California will soon be smoother as well as stronger and longer-lasting with the implementation of three rehabilitation projects totaling $104 million on the Ventura Freeway (U.S. 101) between the cities of Calabasas and Ventura.
Although the projects are not being implemented in geographical order, together they comprise nearly 45 miles of contiguous pavement rehabilitation in both directions. Nearly 170,000 vehicles travel those miles daily.
The first project, from Westlake Boulevard in the city of Thousand Oaks to Pleasant Valley Road in the city of Camarillo, started construction in mid-March. Security Paving is the contractor on the $31 million job, which consists primarily of replacing cracked Portland concrete cement (PCC) slabs and repaving with rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC). It is estimated to finish by this summer. The Resident Engineer (RE) is Alfred Ira. Senior RE on all three projects is Joseph Tehrani.
The next project, beginning early this month, replaces damaged pavement and resurfaces freeway lanes, ramps, medians and shoulders from Las Virgenes Road in Calabasas to the Los Angeles/Ventura County Line. Griffith Company is the contractor on this 8-mile, $17 million project, expected to complete by early 2012. The RE is Prasad Bobba..
Lastly, Caltrans will begin in mid-May the section between Camarillo and Faria Beach, roughly 24 miles, for which Security Paving is also the contractor. This $56 million project will replace PCC pavement slabs with RAC and is expected to be completed by early 2012. Hector Arroyo is the RE.
"This freeway was built in the 1960s and some areas are definitely showing their age," said West Region Maintenance Area Superintendent Vic Korzan. "When the projects complete, motorists will notice a huge difference in ride quality and it also will be quieter – they're not going to hear the 'thwup, thwup, thwup' from the individual concrete slabs."
The projects also are expected to extend pavement life by at least 10 years. They are financed primarily by SHOPP (State Highway Operation and Protection Program) funds but the first project also has an $8 million assist from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), a federal program to create jobs and improve infrastructure.
"These projects were selected through the Caltrans Pavement Management System, which repairs pavement based on the areas with the fastest rate of deterioration," said District 7 Director Mike Miles. "We have to compete among other districts for these SHOPP funds."
It may be a dubious honor, but in this case the squeaky tire is getting a smoother ride.

Cure Your Coffee Stained Teeth
Your email has been successfully sent to the recipient.
Coffee may get you going in the morning, but it won't make your teeth whiter. Coffee stained teeth occur over time, and these stains can make you self-conscious. But you don't need to live with coffee stained teeth.
Coffee stained teeth occur when tannins in the coffee build up on tooth enamel. (1) Good oral hygiene can help reduce coffee stained teeth, but that isn't always enough. Tooth whitening toothpaste, such as Crest 3D White Advanced Vivid toothpaste, can remove up to 90% of stains on the tooth surface after 14 days. But sometimes you need something stronger to clean coffee stained teeth.
You have many options to improve the appearance of coffee stained teeth.
Keep a toothbrush and toothpaste at work for use after you have had your morning coffee. Not convenient? Even rinsing your mouth with water after drinking coffee can help maintain your whiter, brighter teeth.Sources:
It's HERE! Crest's most advanced whitening formula! 3D White Brilliance paste has an Illuminating Complex, leaving your smile dazzlingly white & brilliantly clean by unlocking trapped surface stains.
Has a triple-action formula that freshens breath by killing bad-breath germs, whitens teeth by removing surface stains, and protects from future stains.
Removes 14 years of stains.

I have had a face lift, but the doctor told me he does not treat them. I googled for the treatment of this problem but most of the doctors say that they do not have a procedure to get rid of them. I read somewhere on your blog that you treated this disfigurement with upper face lift and some other procedures. Can you Help me? I am desperately waiting for you answer.
I Have Malar Festoons on my Cheek Bones. How Can I Get Rid of Them and How?

{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
In my experience, malar festoons can be treated by injecting a filler such as Restylane above and below the festoon. While the festoon may not be completely eliminated, proper filler placement can lessen the appearance of the festoon. In cases of very deep festoons, the festoons can be surgically excised with a resultant scar that is not noticeable. In order to determine the proper treatment, if any, for you, I would like to at least see your photos.

A new era in property valuation
What exactly is underquoting? Underquoting occurs when an agent misleads a prospective buyer and seller about the likely selling price of a property. ...
I joined woodards after having spent more than two decades in the high end finance and banking sector. I bring with me a proven success in my previous career and am applying my skills and knowledge to real estate.
Remaining focused on successful client and business outcome through a well-honed ability to succeed in high stakes negotiations.
Advanced business acumen together with integrity and commitment, provide you with an edge in your property transactions.
John Ames - Hawthorn
You and Carolyn assisted me through the sale transaction, marketing the property and dealing with a number of pre auction offers with great care but with an eye to a favourable sale price.
Thelma Gladstone - Kew
The professionalism of you and Caroline was beyond reproach and you handled yourselves with great aplomb, were well presented and answered all my enquiries confidently.
Alberta Dowling - ToorakYour high level of professionalism and exceptional communication skills meant we always felt extremely confident in your capabilities and assured you would achieve the best possible outcome on our behalf. Thank you again for keeping us constantly up-to-date on all developments and ensuring we were aware of all available options in the planning process of the sales.
Roslyn Rule - Kew East
It was a big decision and personally distressing but you were patient with our questions and eased any insecurities we were feeling. You were always professional and reassuring. We sold our home relatively quickly and were very happy with the result
Steven Laskaridis, Camberwell
I would like to thank you for all your assistance and guidance throughout the whole sale of our house. Your regular communication and updates regarding inspections and potential bidders was of great assistance and made the auction process less stressful for us all. Your honesty to all questions we asked made everything easier than I anticipate and the excellent sale price obtained was a credit to you and all involved.
Lindsay Nosworthy - KensingtonOur sales process with Woodards and in particular with you was smooth and painless. You provided us with honest, up front advice on how to prepare our property for sale and provided recommended suppliers for painting, furniture hire and conveyancing all of which made a big difference to our result.
Gordon Matthews - Kew
The sale of our family home after 65 years was an emotionally wrenching time for the family, therefore, an important priority for us was to have the sale process managed by a real estate firm who would be sensitive to how significant the sale of the property was to use. The Woodards team did that. We always found them polite, attentive and professional and we were completely satisfied with all aspects of their service.
Jocelyn Sephton - CamberwellYou have been very attentive to our wishes with the sale of our unit, achieving the best possible outcome. After inspections, the unit was left for Alice in immaculate condition and, as asked, you always left a card to indicate that you had been to show a potential buyer the property.Phone calls to me were always efficient and prompt, so I always felt fully informed as to the progress of the sale. The paperwork was efficiently completed and you liaised with all parties with professional attention.
Karen Gamble - Hawthorn
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you on behalf of myself and my family for your hard work under some very difficult circumstances, in particular for all your advice, hard work and professionalism throughout the sale campaign. I wish you all the best for your future success in real estate, thank you most sincerely for everything you had to put up with, to achieve a successful outcome for all concerned. Thanks for a great result.
Steven & Karen - Toorak
We are absolutely delighted and achieving the settlement over the Christmas was a great result. We appreciated your integrity, clear and prompt advice as well as your professional and personable approach that allowed both vendor and buyer to reach agreement with so quickly.
Max Ripper - NorthcoteWe found the entire process was professionally handled, The advice we were given was always thoughtful and never forceful. We had excellent feedback at all stages of the sale. There were no shortcuts and we were never rushed. Jason you responded promptly to any queries we had.
Jenny & Nick Wright - CamberwellWe sold our house through Woodards Real Estate , Our agent Jason Hearne was very easy to deal with and did not pressure us, or rush us to sell our family home. Jason always kept us informed about prospective buyers that attended our open for inspections. Jason was always well presented and always professional in his dealings with us. We would strongly recommend Woodards and Jason to any prospective seller or buyer.
Mike Stanes - KewHaving had a bit of a break since settlement, I would like to thank you for your efforts right through the sales process. I had a strong feeling that you were always acting with consideration of and in my interests during the campaign and when this extended due to the property not selling at auction, that you kept plugging away in a very patient & professional manner. In the end your honest appraisal helped me with the necessary decision in light of the negative perceptions that potential purchasers felt about the large tree on my property.
Peter Cotton - CamberwellI would like to thank yourself and Woodards for the successful sale of the property in Camberwell. From our initial meeting the process was handled most professionally, a very prompt sale eventuated and the sale price far exceeded my expectations.
Louisa Chan - Hawthorn
Thank you for recommending Jason Hearn to manage the sale of my property. I decided to proceed only after meeting with Jason as I found him to be personable, informative & professional.
Jason was lovely to work with and I found his suggestions to improve the property extremely helpful. I received regular feedback throughout which put my mind at ease with the entire sale process.
Jason achieved an outstanding sales result and I am very grateful for all the hard work and effort he invested into selling my property.
Jerry - CamberwellI greatly appreciate your professionalism and friendly assistance in the recent successful sale of my house. Your guidance and honest advice made the whole process run smoothly & without stress. Originally I was concerned over opening our home for inspection by strangers, however with your guidance it was almost a pleasant experience. I am grateful for the efficient manner in which the sale was conducted.
Jack Woods and Carole Beaumont - Camberwell
We would like to thank you for the high quality service which you provided in all stages of the sale of our late mother's historic Camberwell property. You continued to provide excellent assistance and then did an amazing job in ensuring the property received top advertising space with a listing as house of the week in the Domain section of The Age, as well as a high profile in The Weekly Review magazine. Overall we would certainly be pleased to recommend you to other potential sellers.
Robert Villani - Camberwell
Selling my property through Jason and Woodards has been a smooth, positive experience that yielded a great result. If you want a professional service, a person you can trust, a smooth selling experience and a great result, I can't recommend Jason highly enough.
Jamie Stevens - CamberwellThe auction day arrived and the result obtained was a credit to both yourself as the agent and John as the auctioneer. I am sure that you both made the difference between what we were expecting and the excellent result which we obtained. In short, without the backing of Woodards and yourselves individually, we would not have enjoyed the final price we received for the property. Would we engage the services of Woodards again? Absolutely.
Beverley Grigg - Camberwell
As you know I was somewhat reticent about selling at auction but after talking it through with you and seeing John Piccolo in action, I realised that a Woodards auction was the best way to go. In retrospect this was the right decision as the result was excellent and exactly within the guide price given at our first meeting. Thank you for your advice and patience.
David and Andrea Whitney - East Brighton
We are happy that we chose Woodards and were impressed with the manner in which you were able to meet our tight time-line requirements. Within 48 hours of our acceptance of your services you had the property professionally photographed, ads prepared, and the sale campaign up and running. We were delighted with the fact that amongst your many contacts you were able to achieve a better than expected result, enabling us to sell without the need to go to auction.
K Taylor - CamberwellI am delighted with the dedication and drive Jason and Anthony put to selling my mothers property. All the way through the process they have shown enthusiasm for the task. Above all else they have been honest and ethical all the way. I would have no hesitation recommending Woodards in Camberwell
B. H. Jupp - Burwood
On behalf of my mother and my family, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you most sincerely for the professional manner in which you marketed and sold our property. Your recommendations regarding presentation and marketing strategy were excellent and we certainly did not have to endure a long drawn out open for inspection period prior to the auction. We were particularly satisfied with the outcome considering the current market and the terribly wintry conditions last weekend. In fact we must compliment your marketing strategy - I could not believe the number of people who attended.
O. Cowan - Camberwell
Selling a family property in Melbourne, when you live 4 hours drive away, could be daunting, but with your combined support and experience, there were no problems. It can be an emotional experience, but your tactful understanding along the way, smoothed the path for all concerned. Your advice on advertising, covered everything we needed, the photographer produced some excellent results without intruding. The result was very satisfying and I would certainly recommend Jason and Prue and their staff to any future sellers. My family and I wish to express our appreciation for the caring, experienced advice we received and in particular, the prompt and detailed progress received throughout.
Kenny Devasagayam - Mount Waverley
Thanks very much for all your efforts in selling my property. From our initial conversation to the end of the sale I felt comfortable that I was in excellent hands and that you had my best interests in mind. There was a genuine excitement from you in the opportunity the property presented, and importantly there was no attempt to oversell or increase my expectations in order to obtain my business.
At all times you provided factual market specific information on what the property could achieve and the advice on what was necessary improvements to the property, and (just as importantly) what changes wouldn't deliver an increased return was fantastic. I truly believe this advice facilitated the above market result we achieved.
I would absolutely use you again and would be more than happy to provide a reference to anyone that was considering using you as their agent based on; your high level of professionalism, sound understanding of the market, and quality of advice which achieved the fantastic result we did.
John & Cherie - KewThe reason why I selected Woodards in the first place was that I knew that they had a good, solid name & would provide professional service. When Lance, Cherie & I met you both this confirmed my thoughts & we all agreed to undertake Woodards for the sale of the property. The sale of a property is an extremely taxing undertaking & in my case this was further increased by my acting on behalf of Lance who was overseas! We were always unsure what the campaign & auction day result would bring, but we were both over the moon with fantastic result. The auctioneer, John Piccolo did a wonderful job on the day & we were delighted with his courteous manner & approach.
Kerrie & Peter Bourke - Surrey HIllsWe would like to thank you and the team at Woodards for assisting us to obtain a great sale price. In particular, we would not have achieved this result without your advice as to how to present and advertise the property. Further we note your help with preparing the property for sale went above and beyond our expectations - your identification of what needed to be done, organisation of tradesmen at very short notice and even picking up a broom when needed. We consider you and the team at Woodards are the best real estate agents with whom we have dealt.
Carmel Sanelli - AshwoodOn first meeting Jason & Justin, I found their manner professional and felt comfortable that they were able to address all questions asked of them with ease, explaining the processes involved, without making exaggerated promises. When it came to appointing Woodards, the final decision was actually based on feeling comfortable with Jason and Justin as they were both approachable and there was never any pressure from them. Having had bad experiences with other agents in the past, to begin with I was anxious about the whole process. Their estimates were not exaggerated and were in line with my own expectations on what was achievable at auction and in the end the final figure went beyond expectations. Surprisingly a very stress-free experience and I would highly recommend Woodards, and in particular Justin and Jason to prospective vendors.
E Rye - BalwynFrom the first time we spoke on the phone when first enquiring, to when my home settled, Jason was nothing but professional, polite, followed through and most importantly was friendly and made the whole 4 month period from renovating, to selling and finally settling the property so easy. I was over the moon and delighted with the final price and I would 100% use Jason, John and Woodards again and again to sell my property. To other sellers out there, I would highly recommend Woodards.
Peter & Annie Wynne - HawthornYou have set the bar very high in respect of how you treat your clientele. From moment one when you walked onto our property, I knew I had made the right call about seeking a group who knew their craft. The Woodard's optimism in the commercial and marketing campaign they have been running on radio had a simple message. Very clearly that was about embracing the client professionally and getting the job done. They kept us up to date with every inquiry, prospective buyer and feedback that was honest and to the point.
Donovan Croucamp - KewJason assisted us in selling our investment property at a price within the range we specified.
His professionalism and balanced advice was well received and gave us great confidence in the process. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Susan Barbati - Kew EastI want to make a special mention regarding the tireless efforts of both Jason and Damian on there continues efforts working with us during the campaign and after. But a special mention will have to go to Damian. I will have no hesitations contacting business with Woodard in future purchases or selling especially if Damian is still on board. Before we signed up with Woodards a lot of people were discouraging of Woodards but I put my faith in your company and I am glad I did.
Judith Neville - Box Hill NorthOur family has dealt with Woodards Camberwell for many years and when I rang re sale, Jason returned my call. He was very knowledgeable, helpful and professional. He had an excellent manner.

GEAPS International 2013-2014 President Slav Waplak, Viterra, Inc., Canadian Prairies Chapter, delivered the following speech February 26 at the President's Banquet at GEAPS Exchange 2013 in Louisville, Kentucky.
The International Member of Distinction award is GEAPS' highest leadership service recognition award, presented by the International board to honor members who have made extraordinary contribution to advancing GEAPS core purpose and values.
It is my privilege to present our International Member of Distinction award which is the highest award for distinguished leadership service at the International level.
We bestow this honor on a member who has made extraordinary contributions to advancing GEAPS' core purpose and values.
As the inscription on the award reads:
"For extraordinary leadership service, commitment and dedication to representing the best interests of GEAPS, GEAPS' members and the grain handling industry through the advancement and pursuit of GEAPS' core values of operations efficiency, environmental responsibility, innovation, professional development, quality management, safety, and security.
"Your legacy of leadership benefits us all and inspires others to contribute their best."
This year we recognize a member who has built his career and reputation on the pursuit of safety for our industry. GEAPS has been a direct beneficiary of that dedication though his volunteer leadership service.
During the course of his 33 years as a GEAPS member, our recipient has held many different leadership positions.
Even in his first year of membership with GEAPS in 1980, our recipient became immediately active in leadership service as a member of our Grain Industry Safety and Health Center Task Force and subsequently as a member of our Loss Prevention Committee.
Though the name of that committee changed a few times over the years, his commitment never wavered and he later served as chair of the Safety Health and Environmental Quality Committee for 10 years including leading its transition to a committee of the National Grain and Feed Association a committee on which he still serves.
Throughout his distinguished career, he has made significant contributions to excellence in grain handling operations safety.
His collaborative leadership style was instrumental in building the relationship between GEAPS and the National Grain and Feed Association.
He worked proactively for the mutual benefit of these groups while at the same time holding GEAPS International Board director and executive officer positions as well as serving as GEAPS' representative on the National Grain and Feed Association board of directors.
During his presidency, our recipient's main priority was to lead advancement of GEAPS' initiatives to expand and enhance forums for the exchange of ideas and information.
His goal was to ensure members had the knowledge needed to perform their jobs in a safe and efficient manner.
His time on the International board was one of tremendous advancement toward our pursuit of knowledge sharing.
In 2008 while the entire nation was in financial crisis, he held the position of International president and kept the organization focused on developing and expanding the GEAPS' distance education program to include online and on-demand formats.
His tireless efforts included the continued development of the grain operations management credentialing program and approval of an expanded partnership with Kansas State University to launch development of the "International Center for Grain Handling Industry Operations,".
Our worthy recipient was also a key leader in creating a more sustainable governance and operations management plan for GEAPS' membership development including expansion of member and chapter programs and services.
And on the professional side, our recipient has made significant contributions to excellence and safety in grain handling operations.
He is the Director of Health and Safety at CHS, Incorporated where for more than 30 years he has been involved in various aspects of grain and processing operations safety including safety inspections, compliance audits, manager and employee training, accident investigation, program development, policy development, and rules enforcement.
We are fortunate to have the expertise and experience of this individual working in our industry to keep our colleagues safe.
We are confident his work has protected many lives over the years.
It is clear that this member of distinction has always been engaged and willing to lead.
The amount of time and energy that he has expended on behalf of GEAPS is both remarkable and extremely admirable.
We are truly honored to have had such an influential industry professional give so much of himself to GEAPS.
So this year, we recognize an extremely deserving GEAPS member who has built his career and reputation on the pursuit of excellence in the grain industry.
It is my honor to present GEAPS' International Member of Distinction award to Mark Daniels, CHS, Inc., Minneapolis Chapter.

There are many kinds of executive leadership programs that offer a range of credentials including certificates and degrees.
There are a few ways you can decide what kind of leadership training program will help get you on the right track with your educational and career goals no matter what kind of lifestyle you have to accommodate.
Popular Training Course Providers in Rhode Island
One of the first places you might look for a leadership development program is a traditional campus university. The Community College of Rhode Island has the Institute for Leadership and Organizational Development that helps businesses provide their employees with certification preparation courses and customized training programs. If
you want to find leadership masters programs or other degree programs, you may need to turn to leadership courses online. There are many available such as Grand Canyon University, Saint Leo University and Ivy Bridge College of Tiffin University that offer business courses with Bachelor of Science, Master of Science and master of business administration degrees.
You can also check with other organizations and institutions such as Journey Leaders if you want to find seminars and workshops offering training in skills having to do with leadership and management.
Expected Costs & Duration of Programs
Many people decline the chance to seek executive leaders/management development training in Rhode Island because of the cost and the amount of time a degree program can take.However, there are a few options that are available for those who need some flexibility in their leadership programs.
Nearby States
- Executive leadership training in Connecticut
- Executive management development training in Delaware
- Executive leaders/managers education and training in New Jersey
- Executive leadership development programs in New York
- Executive leadership training in Maine
- Executive management development training in Maryland
- Executive leaders skills & training in Massachusetts
- Executive management development training in Pennsylvania
- Executive leadership/managers training in Vermont
One option is to find out if an employer is offering a workshop or seminar for employees. These programs will typically be free of charge and shows the employer that you are taking the initiative to improve your work skills.
If you are considering taking a new professional career path with a business degree, you should consider the online degree programs available. Not only do these programs cost a fraction of what a traditional campus program would cost, but they also tend to have a shorter duration period.
In fact, if your schedule allows, you can finish a program within two to three years.
Basic Entry Requirements
One of the largest benefits of finding a seminar or workshop sponsored by an employer is that there tend to be little to no prior requirements involved. This is because you already have the job but are quite possibly lacking a few of the skills needed to get yourself in a leadership position.
However, whether you want to enroll in a campus or an online program, you will need a few other prerequisites in order to get into a program. In either case, you will need either a high school diploma or GED.
With some programs, you may even need to have a minimum grade point average as well as a minimum score on one of the required standardized tests. Furthermore, there may also be application fees or other practical considerations for online degree programs such as how much time you are able to commit to your studies.
Although sometimes it can present a challenge, the ends to getting executive leadership training in Rhode Island can be worth it. You can get yourself on a more lucrative career track and enjoy more job satisfaction with an advanced position. However, it is very important that you find the program that works best for you both in terms of your career goals and in terms of the program that fits best with your lifestyle demands.

Can botox be used to slightly raise the cupids bow by pulling the upper lip a little to create a more pronounced cupid's bow. I was just wondering whether this would work or not.
Can Botox Be Used on Cupids Bow Area?
Doctor Answers 5
Botox for Cubid bow area
Fillers for Cupid's Bow
BOTOX® weakens muscles and therefore will not raise your upper lip. Because BOTOX will weaken your lip muscle, it can be used to reduce wrinkles that appear with motion (smoker's lines). Fillers such as BELOTERO BALANCE®, JUVÉDERM®, and Restylane® (hyaluronic acids) would be much better at achieving the result you desire.
Dermal filler to accentuate Cupid's bow
Injecting Botox into the Cupid's bow area will actually drop the upper lip slightly. The best way to enhance this area is to conservatively augment it with a hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvederm, Restylane or Belotero.

Botox cannot raise the cupid's bow
Neuromodulators such as Botox work by weakening muscles. The muscles that inset into the midsection of the upper lip are elevators and that means that Botox will weaken them and cause your lip to lower and possibly flatten a little. The solution would be skillfully injected HA filler to achieve your goals.
Can Botox shape cupids bow?
Botox works through preventing muscle motion. As a result it decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles associated with facial motion. Facial fillers, such as Juvederm, create volume and would be the most appropriate for your concerns.
Be healthy and be well,

Mayo Clinic-linked Cardio3 making push into China
Cardio3 BioSciences, a Belgium company working closely with Mayo Clinic, recently launched a joint venture in China, the third largest pharmaceutical market in the world.
Working with Hong Kong-based Medisun International Limited, it created Cardio3 BioSciences Asia Holdings Ltd. to make a serious push into China. As part of the deal, Medisun purchased $34 million in stock. It now owns 8 percent of the company's outstanding shares.
Cardio3 is publicly listed on the European stock markets NYSE Euronext Brussels and NYSE Euronext Paris, though it is not traded publicly in the U.S.
The company says that $34 million will finance the U.S. clinical trials for C-Cure, Cardio3's regenerative heart treatment. Cardio3 CEO Dr. Christian Homsy flew to Rochester in January for a press conference at Mayo Clinic to announce that U.S. trial. Mayo Clinic in Rochester is one of the trial sites. Homsy gave a tentative time line of commercialization in Europe possibly by 2017 and by 2018 in the U.S.
Medisun has also committed to buy an additional $34 million shares of Cardio3 stock from existing shareholders in the next eight month at a price per share equivalent to the 10 days average preceding the offer.
This new deal means Medisun's ownership of Cardio3 has quickly leapfrogged Mayo Clinic's investment. As of June 16, Mayo Clinic owned 5.05 percent of the available shares of Cardio3. Medisun had just 4.21 percent at that point. As of June 25, Mayo Clinic controlled 3.1 percent of the shares.
Mayo Clinic researchers Dr. Andre Terzic and Dr. Atta Behfar originally developed the proprietary process of regenerating heart tissue with stem cells drawn from a patient's own bone marrow. Since 2007, Cardio3 has licensed patents and related research from Mayo Clinic. Terzic and Behfar each have a financial interest in the company.
Homsy has previously stated that he hopes to eventually base a few employees in Rochester for office and laboratory work. Cardio3 previously attempted to open a U.S. headquarters here, but that fizzled when the one person based here left.
Many consider what Cardio3 is attempting as the "holy grail" of cardiac treatments. Terzic previously described repairing faulty hearts as a "major unmet need worldwide." He estimated about one-third of all deaths stem from heart disease.
To date, the promising company has raised $121 million in equity and capital.
A recent study also estimated that the global market for such treatments could grow to $18.2 billion by 2019. The U.S. market was valued at $6.1 billion in 2012, with potential to increase to $8.49 billion by 2019.
"With this presence in Greater China, we are very proud to become the first global player in the field of cardiac regenerative medicines, aiming to commercialize our leading edge cell therapy to patients all across the globe," stated Cardio Chairman Michel Lussier in the announcement of the venture.
Medisun Chairman Danny Wong says that his company is organizing medical conventions in August "to promote cell based medicines as well as Cardio3's technology" in both Beijing and Shanghai.
"We are passionate about this project and I am certain that our involvement with Cardio3 as a leader in this field, combined with our local knowledge of the regulatory, healthcare and market access capabilities and expertise, will bring success to all the parties involved," said Wong.
All the costs of Cardio3's moves in China will be funded by Medisun, with a minimum of $27 million committed during a three year period. Cardio 3 has 40 percent ownership in the joint venture, which will drop to 30 percent when clinical trials are up and running.
Success of the Phase III clinical trials that allow Cardio3 to market C-Cure in Asia would trigger royalties ranging between 20 and 30 percent of net sales depending on total revenue of the joint venture.

After an extended break—but continuing our pace of a team per month—we come again to the best players from each decade. This week we look at the best of the 1920s, a decade that saw an offensive explosion. We shall see if that leads to a great team.
As a quick reminder, to qualify for any non-pitching position, a player must have played at least 500 games there during his career—though not necessarily during the decade in question. For starting pitchers, we require at least 200 starts in a given decade. Until we hit the more modern usage patterns, relief pitchers will be selected at my discretion, with no game or inning requirements.
Those requirements aside, all that matters is greatness. So let's proceed:
Catcher: Wally Schang
Overhis career, Schang won four World Series (1913, 1918, 1923 and 1930) with three different teams (Athletics, Red Sox and Yankees). He was also part of three other pennant winning teams. On the other hand, Schang was part of the 1916 Phillies (losers of 117 games) and St. Louis Browns teams that lost more than 90 games in back-to-back seasons.
For his part, Schang was a pretty good player, able to contribute to World Series winners, but not so good as to make up for the failings of his less talented teammates on losing squads. Schang was six times a .300 or better hitter, and at the time of his retirement, he was one of just five catchers with over 100 stolen bases. He remains eighth all-time in catcher steals.
|Three members of the all-'20s team, honored in Yankee Stadium (Richard Barbieri)
First base: Lou Gehrig
There's not much to say about Gehrig that hasn't already, so instead I'll talk a bit about Joe Judge who was the second best first baseman of the 1920s. Just for the record, the distance between Gehrig and Judge is predictably large, nearly a win per year.
Like Gehrig, Judge was born in New York City and grew up on the Upper East Side. Also like Gehrig, Judge established himself as a regular at age 22, playing 103 games in 1916 for the Senators. His numbers somewhat held down by the hitting environment of Washington's Griffith Stadium—in 1917 Judge's 140 OPS+ translated to just a .783 OPS—Judge was still never a truly great player. Nonetheless, he was consistent, dropping below a 2.5 WAR just three times from 1917 through 1930, while never topping 3.9 WAR in those years.
Judge's finest moments came in the 1924 World Series, when he batted .385 with a .907 OPS, helping the Senators win their only World Series in Washington.
Second base: Rogers Hornsby
Hornsby's domination over the other second basemen of the '20s is notable. While Gehrig is almost a win per season higher over Joe Judge, Hornsby's competition includes Hall of Famers like Frankie Frisch, Eddie Collins and Tony Lazzeri. When it comes to this decade, Hornsby simply laps the field. By WAR, he was almost four wins per year better than any other second baseman in the decade. Even cutting that number in half gives Hornsby a ridiculous advantage over some truly excellent players for a decade.
Third base: Pie Traynor
This is a close thing. Willie Kamm, who spent the decade playing for the White Sox, was almost as great a player as Traynor by some measures, and did it despite not debuting until 1923. Nonetheless, those measures give Kamm a large amount of defense credit, which I am not fully confident about given the nature of the statistics.
"Pie" is not a given name, of course. Traynor earned the nickname as a child—it was originally "Pie Face"—because of his constant requests for pie from a local shopkeeper. A lifelong Pirate who settled in the city and stayed long after his career ended, Traynor led third basemen in the '20s in runs, hits, RBI, triples and batting average.
Shortstop: Joe Sewell
Like Rick Cerone and an unfortunate handful of others, Joe Sewell earned his starting job replacing a player—in this case, Ray Chapman—who died in the midst of his career. There's not really a nice way to put this, but it must be conceded that the Indians were lucky to have Sewell waiting. Just 21 when he made his debut, he was a major league caliber player and would end up with a Hall of Fame career.
Joe Sewell, by the way, is the best of the Sewell Clan, which had three others in the major leagues: brothers Luke and Tommy and cousin Rip. Rip Sewell, a two-time 20-game winner for the Pirates and three-time All-Star, was the second best, followed by Luke Sewell (an All-Star in 1937 but otherwise a relatively mediocre player) with Tommy Sewell—owner of just one major league at-batr—bringing up the rear.
Left field: Babe Ruth
You've probably heard of this fellow. Ruth actually qualifies as both the left and right fielder for this team, but he slots into left because the second place man in right—about whom more momentarily, of course—is superior to the second place man in right. Also because we can't have Ruth trying to man both outfield corners; even for the younger, thinner Ruth that's probably a bridge too far.
|Tris Speaker's 1911 baseball card (Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division)
1920 was Ruth's first full-season as a position player, and he predictably dominates the offensive leader boards for the decade. He hit 217 more home runs than second place Rogers Hornsby, which is the same as the gap from Horsnby to Bernie Freiberg, who hit the 38th most home runs in the decade. Ruth is also the decade leader in RBI, runs, walks and—by nearly 150 points—OPS.
Center field: Tris Speaker
Known as "The Grey Eagle," apparently for his hair color, Speaker was a dazzling center fielder and outstanding offensive player. Eight times the league leader in doubles (he is still first on that list with 792—no active player is within 200 of that number) Speaker was a lifetime .345 hitter, good for sixth all-time. Perhaps the greatest testament to Speaker's abilities is that while he was finished as a full-time player after the 1927 season, and did not play in the major leagues at all in 1929, his performance earlier in the decade was still good enough to earn him the spot on the team.
Right field: Harry Heilmann
Heilmann, as I mentioned above, slots into right field while Ruth mans left. Despite being nicknamed "Slug," owing to his slow foot speed, Heilmann was a terrific player. A four-time batting champion, he hit a collective .364 in the decade, while recording nearly 650 extra base hits. Over his career, he logged 542 doubles, at the time of his retirement the third-most all-time behind only Tigers teammate Ty Cobb and all-'20s teammate Speaker. His doubles total remains in the top 30 all-time, while his career .342 average is good for 12th.
Starting pitchers: Dazzy Vance, Pete Alexander, Red Faber, Eddie Rommel, Urban Shocker
Prior to the 1922 season, Dazzy Vance had not appeared in the major leagues since 1918, having put an ERA of nearly five across parts of several seasons. He spent the 1920 and 1921 seasons pitching for the likes of the Memphis Chickasaws and New Orleans Pelicans. In 1922, he returned to the majors for Brooklyn, a team in need of pitching after giving most of its starts the season before to players with a worse than average ERA. It was a revelation. It would not be until 1928 that a player other than Vance led the league in strikeouts, and from 1922 through 1930 he averaged 18 wins and led the league in ERA three times. In 1955, he was voted into the Hall of Fame, an unlikely ending for a man who had seemed—less than 35 years earlier—doomed to a career in the minors.
I covered Alexander—brilliant on the mound, furiously and emphatically alcoholic off it—last month, so we'll move on to Urban "Red" Faber. The career-long member of the White Sox was a terrific pitcher, twice the American League ERA leader during the decade and winner of nearly 150 games.
In 1921, Eddie Rommel—sometimes credited as the "father" of the modern knuckleball—led the league in losses with 23. The next season, he won 27 games to lead the league. In 1923, he lost 19 games to once again lead the league in losses. That's a pretty remarkable three-year stretch. Even with his rough loss seasons, Rommel was a strong pitcher through the decade, finishing with 154 wins and an ERA+ of 123.
Urban Shocker is not, as I claimed in an earlier column this year, the all-time home run leader whose names starts with "U." He was still a terrific pitcher, though. From 1920 through 1923 the St. Louis Browns won 324 games. Urban Shocker accounted for more than a quarter of those wins, work for which he was twice rewarded with MVP support. Overall in the decade, he won more than 155 games, doing so while walking just two men per nine innings.
Relief Pitcher: Firpo Marberry
Marberry is the first time we have had a player in this spot who was, in any meaningful sense of a term, a relief pitcher. By 1926, Marberry owned both the single-season and career saves record. He would hold the dual title until 1945 and the single-season reason until 1949. At the time his retirement in 1936, his 101 saves were 44 ahead of second place Jack Quinn, and Marberry was the only player to appear in 500 games while starting fewer than 200.
Of course, Marberry would not have had a chance to earn all those appearances were he not effective in relief. In Washington's World Series winning 1924, he recorded 15 saves while throwing nearly 200 innings (he also started 14 games) with a 132 ERA+ and allowed just one earned run in eight innings during the World Series while recording two saves.
Manager: Miller Huggins
Standing at either 5-foot-5 or 5-foot-6 and known as "Mighty Mite," Huggins represents the first all-decade manager who never played for the team he managed. Over the decade with the Yankees, Huggins won the 1923, 1927 and 1928 World Series, as well as the 1921, 1922 and 1926 American League pennants. Six times the Yankees won 90 or more games.
Including an earlier stint managing the St. Louis Cardinals, Huggins won just over 1,400 games. His total still puts him in the top-25 all-time, but it is likely he would be far higher had he not died at age 50 while still Yankee manager. He was honored by the team by having the first monument installed in Yankee Stadium.

More developerWorks bloggers
Visits (1087)
This month developerWorks will introduce several more bloggers. We're getting each of 'em set up now, and expect you'll see quite a few new bloggers in the coming days. Stay tuned to http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/ Our first addition: James Snell , focusing on Emerging Technologies. Meanwhile, I'll be heading back to the states after a multiweek visit to Taipei. A few observations related to my trip may trickle into this blog later. For now I'll just mention, in the "now playing" category, is "Hunters Who Lost Their Lands," a CD by a local band here by a group called the Betel Nuts Brothers. (See http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2003/12/05/2003078453 for more details.) Seems I appreciate this Aboriginal band more than some of the Taiwanese locals.
Migrate to open source when re-architecting?
Visits (1089)
Worth a read: InfoWorld editor-at-large Paul Krill reports on comments at a recent software summit in " Open source software merits debated: Officials from Microsoft, Red Hat, MySQL, others chime in. " Yes, IBM also gets quoted in the article. An excerpt: Panelists noted concerns enterprises have about platform switches. The proliferation of standards reduces the switching costs, however, according to the panel. Users will tend to migrate to open source when re-architecting their environment, rather than migrating current applications, said Urlocker. Users now expect compatibility in software, stressed Brian Behlendorf, CTO and Founder of CollabNet. âPeople see incompatibility as a bug to be fixed rather than as a proprietary advantage to be driven,â Behlendorf said.

Preview of interview with Lotus CTO: Workplace and open standards

Here's an excerpt from the yet-to-be-published developerWorks interview with Lotus CTO Doug Wilson, talking about Workplace Client Technologies. Notice how these comments reflect the open standards theme of this blog, as well as the importance of choice -- for IBM as well as for developers and other customers: ----------- developerWorks: IBM is very committed to the support of open standards and open source. How has this commitment improved our products? Doug Wilson, IBM Lotus CTO: Fundamental to our software strategy is a notion that true choice is provided for customers when we implement faithfully to standards, and when those standards are the subject of public negotiation. It's really important that these issues be debated in the open. ... The open source movement is certainly one of the best ways to move standards or de facto standards forward in the industry. We benefit by the collective skills of all of the people who participate in those open source efforts, and by the collective skills of all of the people in the industry who participate in the standards effort. These are complicated problems to define. A definition and implementation of standards that really provides interoperability is a difficult thing to do, and fundamentally can't be done as a one-sided effort. A company can introduce a thought for a new technology, but one company alone can't make it a standard and can't make it widely adopted. It has to be a partnership. And the communities that we...

Enabling open source blogspheres
Visits (1104)
When I'm not doing my day job (or blogging), I spend part of my, ahem, copious free time at the University of North Carolina here in Chapel Hill. As part of my pursuit of a master's degree, I've had occasion to do some research related to ibiblio.org , a Web site that offers a little bit of just about everything and refers to itself as "the public's library and digital archive." (Some of you may know of ibiblio from one of its former names, "SunSITE" or "MetaLab." See the Wired article " Where Sharing Isn't a Dirty Word " for more about ibiblio.) Anyhow, ibiblio not only offers collections of materials that contributors provide or create. The ambitious team there also is working on what sounds like a nifty project: Lyceum , a blogging initiative that involves "a stand-alone open-source application, written in PHP, utilizing the MySQL database as a backend." Of particular note: While "it's like blogger.com or livejournal.com in that it custom-generates weblogs," it promises flexibility in terms of deployment. "Lyceum is open source. You control the installation. You define the blogsphere. And with Lyceum's intelligent toolsets, conversation within the blogsphere is facilitated." The project is not complete, but sounds promising. I look forward to learning more about Lyceum -- as well as another ibiblio project, Osprey , a peer-to-peer enabled content distribution system. Now, however, I have to get back to my term papers...
Disappearing blog entries?

FYI, us developerWorks bloggers have been posting new entries, but the interface currently equates the top-level blog page for each blogger with the current month's blogs. This has an undesired side effect: When the first of the month arrives, the recent posts dated prior to the first of the month no longer appear on the top-level page. To see recent blog entries (including items posted as recently as yesterday), simply click on the April Monthly Archives link -- or (for my particular blog) just click here .

Customer choice mean open standards, cross-platform interoperability -- not vendor lock-in
Visits (1301)
A new LinuxWorld article includes interviews with five IBM Software Group executives, in which they discuss a range of strategic technologies, including on-demand computing , the IBM Software Development Platform , Eclipse , Java technology , Linux , grid computing , autonomic computing , and service-oriented architecture (SOA) . Collectively and individually, their comments reflect the priority IBM puts on technologies. Of particular note is this quote from Lotus GM Ambuj Goyal: "Customer choice has always been important to IBM. It is why we have created a standards based model for delivering products and services across the on demand operating environment. The flexibility a customer gets with IBM software allows them to decide their future IT investments. We adapt to customers needs; we do not expect them to adapt to our technology." IBM's ongoing commitment to customer choice -- and its corresponding vested interest in supporting open standards -- sets it apart in the industry. For IBM, this commitment is a no-brainer that's critical to the company's success, given the wide array of hardware platforms, operating systems, and environments IBM supports with its broad set of products. It is this focus -- on customer choice, customer wants and needs, and promoting open, cross-platform standards -- that prompted me to give up my independent journalist hat and join the IBM developerWorks team. Of course IBM, like any company, puts tremendous emphasis on the bottom line. ... [More]
Why developerWorks blogs?
Visits (1350)
This past week, during a developerWorks content summit, our content team enjoyed a rare few days in the same physical space. Aside from all the work sessions, we spent a brief moment patting ourselves on the back, both for our latest Jolt Product Excellence Award , and for some positive results in our latest site visitor survey report. The survey results were quite encouraging: Our visitors responded positively to the update we implemented last fall, designed to make the developerWorks site more cohesive and intuitive. (For some details, see " A new look and a new foundation for IBM developerWorks .") Across the board, our user satisfaction scores -- already among the best in all of IBM -- improved. The team was quite pleased to see our hard work pay off. (Kudos and thanks to all involved, and particularly the extra efforts of the design, usability, infrastructure, and production edit teams as well as the broader content team.) But we (like most of you, I'd imagine) can't afford to rest on our laurels. We're always striving to better understand our audience of developers and technical professionals so that we can deliver the stuff you seek -- what you want and what you need to be successful. We also realize that developers are a diverse group, with diverse priorities and interests. That's why developerWorks provides a diverse set of resources -- including robust sections of the site dedicated to top open standard technologies (Java, Linux, SOA & Web Services, ...),... [More]

Neil Gaiman - "Bloody Sunrise"
If the Magnetic Fields had been asked by Said the Gramophone to write a Hallowe'en song for us to post today, they would have written Neil Gaiman's "Bloody Sunrise". But Neil Gaiman would have already written it, and submitted it, pretending to be Magnetic Fields, but in that way that you have to start by looking up before you climb. In any case, it's here now, and it's for all of you who are just putting on a zombie movie and having a fire and handing out candy to lonely little happy kids in the evening. [off the new and wonderful Lifted Brow compilation (more below)]
I think it's always Hallowe'en in the Jumbling Towers mansion. It's such an endless supply of fantastic creeping and crawling and slinking and sliding music. With flashing-eye flourishes full of teeth and face paint. I wonder what the singer is going to be dressed as tonight. I would guess an animal, like a wolf or a pig, whose first conscious thought (before self-awareness) is performance art. Or some obscure real-life pirate who, if you knew the story, you'd look at him and say "yeah, that's exactly the right costume, and that's terrifying." [free incredible EP]
The Lifted Brow is a biannual magazine based in Melbourne. With their most recent issue comes a 2 CD set with some really great stuff on it, including the first CD kicked off by a gorgeous and haunting song by our own Jordan's band The Cay. Go see.Posted by Dan at October 31, 2008 5:33 PM

But if you're actually going to _use_ the fact that you have typed Exceptions, then you can do error handling specific to what went wrong, and it can be very useful. It becomes even more important with more complex programs. If I call a function, and it throws a FileException, then I know that the operation failed to operate on the file properly and can handle it appropriately, whereas if it threw a ParserException, then I know that it failed in parsing the file and can handle _that_ appropriately. It gets even better when you get more specific exceptions such as FileNotFoundException or FileOpenFailedException, because then you can handle stuff very specific to what exactly what went wrong. Exception can't give you any of that. All it tells you is that something went wrong, and the best that you can do is print a message like your example does. I'd hate to see us have a crippled exception hierarchy just because some people mishandle exceptions and simply print out messages on failure in all cases. Obviously sometimes that's what you have to do, but often you can handle them much better, and that's part of the reason that we have _Exception_ and not just Error. And a proper exception hierarchy can be very benificial to programmers who actually use it correctly. - Jonathan M Davis
