New York -- When Macy's reported a 4.2% May same-store sales gain on Wednesday, ahead of the rest of the pack, analysts wondered whether that would set the tone for the rest of the department store players. It did — and it didn't.
Macy's outpaced the 4% gain predicted by Wall Street, citing online strength as a major reason for the strong performance, but Kohl's saw a wider than expected drop in same-store sales. The department store retailer posted a 4.2% decrease in May, worse than analysts' predicted 1.2% drop. According to CEO Kevin Mansell, the May results will likely set the tone for the upcoming quarter.
"May sales were lower than our expectations and, as a result, we now expect second quarter comparable store sales to be modestly negative," he said. "We made some progress in building our inventory levels, but continue to expect lower units to hinder our sales until the Back-to-School season."
Among other department store results:
Nordstrom reported a 5.3% increase in May same-store sales, beating the forecasted 4.7% rise;
Saks also beat Wall Street estimates, recording a 4% May increase despite the 2.5% projected rise;
Bon-Ton same-store sales rose 1.5% in May.
Neither J.C. Penney nor Sears Holdings report monthly sales.

Stay warm and train hard
Mild, rainy winters are a real dampener to your training schedule. Even with a jacket, your legs get chilled from the rain and wheel-spray off of the road. With your legs in a pair of Giordana G Shield Leg Warmers, your rides won't stop because of a little foul weather.
The leg warmers are made from the SuperRoubaix AZ fabric -- a soft and stretchable material with an inner loft that's both warm and breathable. For a perfect, comfortable fit, Giordana used contoured panels with minimal seams throughout the warmers. The Aqua-Zero treatment on the fabric gives it water-repellant properties, and adding to the these features, a silicone heat application on the seams fills the stitching and forms a water tight seal. No moisture seeping through means that you can enjoy your 50 mile ride home in the misty weather. And should that ride occur in low-light conditions, the warmers come with reflective accents to increase your visibility. An elastic gripper on the top hem keeps the leg warmers in place so you aren't having to play with them throughout your ride.
The Giordana G Shield Leg Warmers are available in the color Black and in sizes X-Small/Small, Medium/Large, and X-Large/XX-Large.

SquareHue: Simple and Fabulous.
That is how SquareHue has described themselves as, and after trying their first monthly nail polish subscription, I completely agree. Here's how this monthly subscription works. You sign up with a credit card for a monthly SquareHue Membership that is $21, and includes shipping to a US address. I emailed SquareHue and they let me know that they do not currently ship to anywhere outside the continental US, because nail polish has to ship ground. Sorry to those readers who won't be able to take advantage of this monthly service—hopefully, something will be worked out in the near future!
Purchase a subscription
Each month subscribers receive three preselected full size, .50 oz. bottles. Kind of silly I have to write this, but given that I have read about a nail polish subscription service that "rents" bottles…I will write to assure you that these are new nail polish bottles, and you don't return them to be passed on to someone else. Use as little or as much nail polish as you want; they're yours, for keeps!
Description of SquareHue Nail Polish:
The .50 oz bottles are square, and they are a 3-Free Brand. SquareHue does not contain DBP, Toluene, and Formaldehyde. There is also no Camphor in the nail polish. It is cruelty free, and made in the USA.
Why you would want a SquareHue subscription:
I've "said" it before, and I'll repeat it here, I am very, very unfashionable. SquareHue writes that they will keep you "fashionably up to date" with the each monthly shipment. Yes, everyone receives the same three colors, but they are chosen to serve a variety of needs: day, evening, casual, or fancy! Subscribers are assured of a "no-hassle commitment." You may cancel at any time; another option is being able to pause your account if for whatever reason, you want to skip a shipment.
SquareHue Photos
Nicely packaged so everything arrived safely:
The three nail polish bottles in the Santa Luxe Collection:
Bottom of the bottles. As you can see, the name of the polish, and the date that the Collection is released is on the label. (click if you wish to enlarge)
The brush is on the small size, which I found to be very comfortable and super easy to control.
SquareHue Nail Polish
I'm not a nail blogger, but I had no problems with the nail polish. The formula is incredibly smooth and dries relatively quickly. I certainly could have done my manicure in one coat and had very lovely coverage, but I used two coats, and it was perfect! The color on my nails looks like the color in the bottle. There was no streaking with the SquareHue polish!
As I had to change my polish after a day to get everything swatched so you would read this in a timely manner, I can only give you a report on how well the polish fared after 24 hours. As silly as that may seem, I've had some polishes that chipped after a day, and they were not "cheapies." Each of the three polish colors had no chips after 24 hours.
All nails have a top coat on them.
SquareHue Holly Berry
This is a red, jewel toned shimmer color.
SquareHue Champagne Toast
Gorgeous shimmery champagne golden color.
SquareHue Sugar Plum
The following photos were all taken outside at different times of the day; beautiful purple shimmer!
Final Thoughts on SquareHue:
There are many monthly subscription boxes that sometimes include a nail polish, but this is rather unique in that there is no skincare, no beauty samples–only nail polish! The response to the SquareHue subscription has been so great, that a second shipment of January's box (called the Artic Collection) had to be added!
As there is the option to skip, or cancel completely, I would highly recommend you sign up for a monthly subscription. I love that SquareHue is committed to giving back. A portion of the monthly subscription price is donated to a cause. The current focus is on human trafficking.
SquareHue has very kindly given me a promotional code for my readers. This promo code will expire Monday, December 24, and it is case case sensitive: DECBLOGGER07. If you lock in at the introductory price of $14.99 now, you are guaranteed to stay at that price point for as long as you are subscribed to SquareHue!
Disclosure: I was provided with the polishes. All links are for your convenience only. The promotional code is for you, my very kind readers, and I do not benefit from you using it!

Robin's Healthy Take: Fast, Fiery and Under $5by Robin Miller in Uncategorized, February 17, 2011
Robin cooked up these healthy, budget-friendly recipes this morning on the Today Show!
When I was deciding what recipes to cook for my Today Show appearance, the producer suggested something "fast and fiery." Since fast dishes are my mantra (Quick Fix Meals, anyone?) and making spicy dishes is simple, I challenged myself by making each dish for $5 or less. Not $5 per person, but five smackers each for a fabulous, four-serving main dish, side dish and dessert.
Even better, the ingredient lists are super-short and each dish comes together in a flash. Here's how you make this meal for dinner tonight.
Spicy Fettuccine Alfredo
Serves 4
1 pound fettuccine
2 cups low-fat or fat-free milk
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons extra-spicy seasoning blend
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cook the fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, whisk together the milk, egg yolk and seasoning blend in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Stir in drained fettuccine and Parmesan cheese. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Season to taste with salt and freshly-ground pepper.
Garlic Parmesan Broiled Tomatoes
Serves 4
4 beefsteak or other vine-ripened tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
8 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Preheat broiler. Halve tomatoes crosswise (through the equator) and place flesh-side up on a baking sheet. Brush tops with olive oil and season with salt and freshly-ground pepper. Combine Parmesan cheese and garlic powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the mixture on each tomato half. Broil for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the tomatoes soften. Sprinkle with chopped parsley just before serving.
Coconut Macaroons
Makes 24 cookies
2/3 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 egg white
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 14-ounce bag shredded sweetened coconut (about 3 1/2 cups)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, egg white, vanilla and salt. Fold in the coconut until well-incorporated. Drop by tablespoonful onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

THE new emergency station - that has been described as the first of its kind nationally to combine a police and fire station - has opened in Bromsgrove.
Construction work on the emergency hub, replacing Bromsgrove Police Station in The Crescent, and the Windsor Street-based Fire Station, began in October 2012.
Bromsgrove firefighters moved in on Thursday, (April 3), while the police moved in on Sunday, (April 7).
The multi-million pound station in School Drive is the first being delivered under the Worcestershire Capital Asset Pathfinder initiative, which police say will lead to better local services and increased value for money through a shared facility between public services.
The project has been funded by the police, with the fire service committed to a 25 year tenancy agreement.
The new site replaces two police and fire stations that required extensive refurbishment and proved expensive to run, and were set to incur increasing maintenance costs in the future.
It is estimated that in joining forces 20 per cent has been saved on building costs, while several features have been added to the building to cut annual running costs by 25 per cent.
These include solar panels to contribute to heating and electricity, lighting sensors, a heating control system and a sprinkler system, harvesting rain water, which provides filtered water to the building.
Superintendent Kevin Purcell, North Worcestershire Commander, said: "There have been many occasions in recent months including floods and serious fires, where I have had the privilege of working closely with fire and rescue colleagues.
"They are undoubtedly a top performing service and this new venture cements our already close working relationship."
Group Commander Mick Cadman from Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service said: "We are delighted to be moving our firefighters into this new station.
"We're extremely pleased that we will be implementing a new innovative crewing system for our staff at this station.
"We have a very close working relationship with West Mercia Police and look forward to jointly continuing to provide the best possible service to our communities."
Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Barrie Sheldon added: "Ensuring value for money for residents in Bromsgrove while maintaining high quality, accessible services is very important.
"Sharing this building with the fire service is a great example of how the force is embracing new ways of working smarter with its partners."
It was announced the official opening of the joint Bromsgrove Police and Fire Station is to take place later this year.

Madonnas adoption of a black child from the African nation of Malawi, has recently been declared the same as adopting a monkey for the zoo. It seems that Brian Kilmeade, from Fox network, thinks that black children are tantamount to animals that need to be saved from savagery through kind white intentions. While there are issues in terms of Madonnas adoption of David, it is not a reflection on the child himself, rather it is a reflection of the Kipling like standard that has become the norm in discourse surrounding African bodies. When he "Took Up The White Man's Burden," he did so from a paternalistic racist position. Black children are not monkeys! Nor does white largess validate their humanity. Once again blacks are created as 'other' and made fodder for ridicule to uphold white hegemony. Shame on you sir, I would suggest it is you who needs to be saved from yourself.

Topic: Mother's Day is coming up!
I just wanted to start a topic about Mother's Day. There are so many good moms out there in the world that I think it is so important to have a day to recognize them. I know this is an emotional topic, especially for those caretakers here who have lost their Mother's to CCA. I hope that this will be a day of good memories for you to relive all of those great times. Becoming a parent myself (a 2.5 year old and a 6 month old) has helped me very much to appreciate the sacrifices that parents make. Both of my parents are great people. They continue to help my wife and I out with our crazy situation on an almost daily basis. I love you, Mom. And I love you too, Dad.
Moving on to my wife - wow what an amazing woman. She is such a dedicated mother I am overjoyed that our kids have her in their lives. Sometimes I wish she could spend less time with the kids and more with me, but that is just because the age of our kids requires so much attention which she freely gives. She doesn't get much, if any, time to herself and is one of the most selfless people I know. I want to do something very special for her and for my Mom this Mother's Day but I'm striking out so far. Perhaps a hand written note for each of them is the way to go. Since this is quite possibly the last Mother's Day that I will be here for, I want to make sure that both of them know how much I appreciate them. If anyone has some ideas, please post them!
Thank God for Mothers and wives. Even when our time with them is cut short, the precious time that we do have with them is beyond measure. I am also praying for all of you caretakers here who have lost your Mothers. It isn't my intention to cause anyone grief, rather it is to relive all of those good times and to honor our mothers and wives.

Search through millions of records to find out more.
April 24, 1896 — Bonn, Germany
In 1919 Robert and his brother Karl founded the Nerother Bund youth group in the Cologne region. Like other German youth groups, it aimed to bring youth closer to nature through camping and hiking. Homosexual relationships sometimes developed from the intense adolescent male camaraderie, and the Nerother Bund accepted these friendships, as did a number of German youth groups at the time.
1933-39: Soon after the Nazis took power in 1933, they dissolved all independent youth groups and urged the members to join the Hitler Youth movement. Robert refused and secretly continued his connection with the Nerother Bund. In 1936 he was convicted under the Nazi-revised criminal code's paragraph 175 which outlawed homosexuality. Robert was imprisoned with 13 other members of the Nerother Bund.
1940-41: Robert was one of more than 50,000 men sentenced under paragraph 175 during the Nazi regime. By 1941 he had been transferred to the Dachau concentration camp. Like many "175ers" in the camps, Robert was required to wear an identifying pink triangle. The "175ers" were commonly segregated in separate barracks, subjected to particularly harsh treatment, and often ostracized by other prisoner groups.
Forty-four-year-old Robert died at Dachau in 1941. Details of his death are unknown.

STRIKER Andy Williams was happy to take a giant step towards a return to full fitness over the weekend during Town's two pre-season wins.
Williams suffered a knee ligament injury while on loan at Yeovil last season, which kept him out for nine months, but returned to the field as he enjoyed 45 minute shifts in Town's victories over Yate and Swindon Supermarine.
The striker looked sharp in both games but still has work to do to get back to his best, although he is just pleased to be back involved again.
"I've only had a couple of 45 minutes but for me personally it was important that I got through the two games, for mental reasons as much as physical," he said.
"It's just as tough mentally as it is physically. The first two weeks, when you're fresh off the operating table and you're sat in the front room not able to even get your food and drink, are awful.
"But after that, there were loads of little goals to hit and the fitness coach and the physio here worked with me every day and I couldn't fault what they did with me to help me get back ahead of schedule.
"After being out for such a long time, it does feel weird getting back on the pitch again.
"I like to think I've integrated back in nicely, although I'd like to do a bit more finishing practice. Apart from that, I'm quite happy with how things have gone."
Williams also lifted the lid on what his long road back to fitness involved.
"I did it on a Thursday and travelled up to Leeds on the Friday ready to play but it swelled up horrifically," he said.
"I had an operation and it was nine months from there. I couldn't straighten my knee for the first three months and any fitness I was doing was upper body.
"After two months, I could get in the pool and then from three I spent all my time strengthening it – for the last three months, I've been doing nothing but that.
"Everyone had time off from May onwards and I only had two weeks but I wasn't too bothered about that because from the end of May I could start kicking a ball again."

THE LEADER of Wycombe District Council believes now is the time to push forward with the multi-million pound plans to help avoid flooding in Marlow and the surrounding area.
Cllr Richard Scott, who was in Marlow to meet government minister Brandon Laws yesterday morning, said the recent flooding is proof that something needs to be done quickly to avoid future disasters.
A £6.3million flood alleviation scheme from the Environment Agency was approved by WDC in 2010, but funding for the ambitious project has proved more difficult.
But Cllr Scott, who praised the work of firefighters in Marlow, insists the scheme only needs £1.25million extra to go ahead and now hopes the government can stump up the remaining cash.
He said: "It's the worst I've seen it in 40 years. We've got around 50 properties affected across the district and the firefighters are doing a remarkable job, they're fantastic.
"In the short term we're doing everything we can we're getting extra sandbags in but in the longer term we want to get this scheme that's been proposed in place.
"There's planning permission for it and it's all agreed but mow we just need to get funding for it. It needs an extra £1.25million to get the funding in place and I'll leave that thought with the minister.
"We're not the only place in the country with problem, but this scheme has been proposed for six years. This has reinvigorated that plan. It should be done, and this is an example of what can happen if you don't do it."
WDC is currently sourcing extra sandbags, which Cllr Scott said will be given to the residents most in need.
The council intends to part fund the scheme, and Cllr Scott is currently in discussion with Bucks County Council, who would also contribute.
BCC leader Martin Tett also met with Mr Lewis along with cabinet members at County Hall in Aylesbury.
They discussed how authorities can work to improve relationships, particularly with the Environment Agency.
Cabinet members also lobbied the minister over the need for major government investment in restoring Britain's roads after three exceptionally severe winters.
Cllr Tett said: "'It was great to see Brandon in Buckinghamshire. He's an impressive Minister, clearly with a good grasp of the key issues, and willing to engage with the County Council in improving life for our residents."
The Marlow plans include constructing flood walls, bunds, and groundwater pumping wells at Pound Lane, Lower Pound Lane, Gossmore Lane and Firview Close.
Brandon Lewis, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Communities and Local Government, was in Marlow yesterday to assess the flood damage and meet fire crews.
The Conservative MP, whose ministerial duties include the fire service, said he will talk to representatives at the Department for Rural Affairs and Agriculture about funding for the project.
He told the BFP: "As a team we'll have to have a look at it. I will feed that through to the Environment Agency and DEFRA.
"It's not my department, but I will speak to them. I know the county are quite keen to see that delivered upon, but I haven't seen the scheme in detail yet to see how it fits in.
"At the moment, the key thing is to try and make sure the team have got the space and what they need to protect the properties here. "
Last year, The Environment Agency confirmed the project was on hold as Marlow was deemed a "low priority" compared to other stretches of the Thames and therefore did not qualify for specific government funding.

Medal of Honor
May 1943 — Alconbury, England
The copilot, John Morgan, had two alternatives: pull the plug on a wounded friend or fight him for control of the stricken B-17
At mid-1940, with war raging in Europe and the United States sure to become involved, it looked as though John Morgan was never going to be an Army flyer. The 6-foot-2-inch, 210-pound Texan had been classified 4-F by his draft board as a result of an earlier accident in which he had broken his neck. But the Royal Canadian Air Force, more interested in willing warriors than in medical history, welcomed Morgan into its pilot-training program. A year later, he was in England, wearing the RCAF uniform but flying bombers for the Royal Air Force.
In May 1943, Morgan transferred to the US Army Air Forces as a flight officer and was assigned to the 92d Bomb Group's 326th Squadron, based at Alconbury. Sixty days later, on July 18, Morgan sat in the right seat of a B-17 as copilot for 1st Lt. Robert Campbell, a huge, muscular Mississippian, as they climbed out over the North Sea, and headed for Hanover and one of the most remarkable bomber sorties of the war.
Before the bomber stream reached the Dutch coast, it came under heavy attack by Luftwaffe fighters. The intercom of Morgan's plane was shot out, the tail, waist, and ball-turret guns ceased firing, a cannon shell shattered the windshield on the copilot's side, and a machine-gun bullet struck pilot Campbell in the head, splitting open his skull. Campbell, semiconscious and in a crazed condition, fell forward, locking his arms around the control column.
Morgan knew that if the B-17 dropped out of formation it would be easy prey to German fighters. Flying with his right hand, he dragged Campbell off the controls, holding him back in the pilot's seat with his left arm. The wounded pilot continued to fight instinctively for the controls as Morgan maneuvered back into formation. He now had two alternatives: pull Campbell's oxygen mask off, which, at 26,000 feet, would have been fatal to the wounded man, or fight the crazed pilot for control of the B-17 as long as his strength lasted, hoping that another crew member might come up to the cockpit and help. He chose the latter alternative.
Once again enemy fighters came in. As they pulled up over the riddled B-17, the top turret gunner fell to the floor, one arm shot off at the shoulder. Morgan's navigator, Keith Koske, unable to apply a tourniquet, got the gunner into a chute and pushed him out the lower hatch, believing correctly that the minus 50-degree F. cold would stop the bleeding. The gunner survived, was cared for by German surgeons, and was repatriated in late 1944.
The navigator, bombardier, and engineer were aware from the B-17's erratic flight that something was wrong in the cockpit, but all were too busy fighting off attackers to leave their stations. For two hours, John Morgan held formation, all the time fighting to keep the irrational Campbell off the controls. Finally, after bombs-away, navigator Koske came up to the cockpit and, shocked by the grisly scene, helped Morgan get Campbell out of the pilot's seat.
As the formation let down over the North Sea, the gunners Morgan had believed to be dead appeared on the flight deck. Their oxygen system had been knocked out in the first fighter attack and they had been unconscious until the bombers descended to lower altitude. Campbell died minutes after Morgan landed the battered bomber at an RAF base near the English coast.
On Dec. 17, 1943, Lt. Gen. Ira Eaker, Commander of the Eighth Air Force, presented 1st Lt. John C. Morgan the Medal of Honor in recognition of his heroic acts over Germany that July day. General Eaker directed Morgan to fly no more combat. But Morgan decided that if the war was not over for the Allies, it wasn't over for him. He volunteered for several more missions, including the first Berlin raid of March 6, 1944. On that day, Morgan's war against Nazi Germany came to an end. His B-17 was shot down and he remained an unwilling guest of the Luftwaffe until V-E Day.
Morgan must surely be the only draft-classified 4-F to serve with the air forces of three nations, fly 26 combat missions (he says it really was only 25 and a half) with the RAF and the AAF, earn this country's highest decoration for valor, and spend 14 months as a POW. No American who survived World War II paid his dues more fully than that tough, tenacious Texan.

- About Plattsburgh
A major in mathematics is a valuable achievement that opens many doors.
For some, that means teaching. For others, a surprisingly broad range of math-related careers. Either way, our program prepares you to compete at the highest levels.
Some of our students go on to graduate school in mathematics, while others do graduate work in related fields. Others find employment right after completing their bachelor's degree.
Mathematics majors are valued in the workplace for their skills in analytic thinking. You might also consider combining the mathematics major or minor with a major or minor in another discipline, such as computer science, economics, or chemistry, to name just a few possibilities.
Such combinations put you in a particularly strong position for career options when you graduate.
All of our math courses are taught by our faculty - not by graduate assistants.
These courses include advanced seminars and independent studies for students in the mathematics major programs, as well as the fundamentals.
For students that find they benefit from additional help, the Claude J. Clarke Learning Center provides free tutoring for lower level mathematics courses. Students looking to challenge themselves sometimes volunteer as tutors, while others explore our Honors Program.
Before you can take any mathematics course higher than MAT101, you must satisfy the competency requirements.
SUNY Plattsburgh is a place where our faculty get to know our students.
Our students also enjoy working together in the math commons – a place to gather and discuss assignments or just hang out.
The Math Club organizes interesting speakers, and each year a group of students travels to the Hudson River Undergraduate Mathematics Conference.
Check out our department newsletter for more about student activities, and for news from our alumni.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/9/2012 (1803 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
PRINCE RUPERT, B.C. -- As dusk descends, an explosion of violence shatters the tranquillity of the world's largest remaining tract of unspoiled ancient temperate rainforest. The chase is on.
A frantic deer bolts from the woods metres from where our zodiac floats on the calm estuary waters. On its heels races a sea wolf in a blur of black fur and fangs. Nostrils flaring, tongues flapping, predator and prey swim straight toward us, then veer off across the inlet.
Unable to overtake its swifter dinner on the hoof, the exhausted wolf abandons the chase and retreats to the rocky shore. There, it paces back and forth, eyeing us in frustration as hungry members of its pack howl for updates from deep within B.C.'s Great Bear Rainforest.
Named for the bears that inhabit its thickly forested islands and inlets -- including grizzlies, American black bears and Spirit bears (a black bear born with a recessive gene that produces cream-coloured fur) -- this vast, mostly uninhabited archipelago twice the size of the Serengeti stretches from the northern tip of Vancouver Island to the Alaska border. It is also home to countless species of birds, marine life and other mammals, including coastal wolves that can hunt salmon from streams like bears and swim like sea otters.
"The Great Bear Rainforest is so remote that it's one of the few remaining inhabitable parts of the world that is completely black at night on satellite images," says Kevin Smith, owner and captain of the Maple Leaf, B.C.'s oldest operational tall ship. I'm aboard his 92-foot, two-masted, mahogany-lined schooner for a unique week-long midsummer nautical natural history tour.
It wasn't until the 1990s that environmentalists coined the name Great Bear Rainforest and began drawing public attention to the devastating logging practices that companies were inflicting on what they then called the Mid-Coast Timber Supply Area. In 2006, an agreement between the B.C. government and a coalition of conservationists, loggers, hunters, and First Nations established a 400-kilometre-long protected coastal area.
Today, only a handful of tourist-toting ships like the Maple Leaf operate along the coast of this magnificently rugged, rain-swept wilderness, where snowcapped peaks loom over precipitous, forested fjords that plunge into deep and dark channel waters.
During our voyage from Bella Bella to Prince Rupert, some days are blustery, and others gloriously sunny. But we are thankfully spared much of the pelting rain and gale-force winds that give this tempestuous stretch of the North Pacific such a stormy reputation.
Each day brings fresh adventures. We take frequent shore excursions, marching through boggy estuaries under the tutelage of the ship's naturalist, Briony Penn, searching for indigenous plants with names like queen's cup and dwarf dogwood, paintbrush and devil's club. There are soaks in hidden natural hot springs, forays in search of ancient petroglyphs, fishing off the Maple Leaf's stern, and sailing when weather permits. Most popular are evenings on deck spent feasting on freshly caught giant Dungeness crabs and jumbo prawns, washed down with fine B.C. and international wines.
One brisk morning we stretch our sea legs following fresh wolf tracks along a deserted island's sandy white beach and hike through old growth forest, where we're careful to leave minimal traces of our passing. Another afternoon, we bless the ship at a thundering waterfall.
This involves Captain Smith steering the Maple Leaf's bowsprit right to the spray-soaked edge of one of the countless waterfalls lining the route. Just close enough, it turns out, for first mate Greg Shea to fill an outstretched tumbler with arguably the purest H2O on Earth.
Along the route we encounter few other traces of humanity until we pay a visit to Klemtu, an isolated Kitasoo and XaisXais First Nations village of 400 that's only accessible by boat or plane.
Adorned with the clan emblems of the eagle, wolf, killer whale and raven, Klemtu's mammoth red cedar "Bighouse" hosts important cultural events -- the naming of children, traditional potlatches and ceremonies to honour the deceased -- that help to preserve native culture along this coastline.
Botany and cultural excursions aside, the most magnetic lure for most of the Maple Leaf's eight passengers is catching glimpses of whales, wolves, dolphins and, of course, bears. Since the elusive Spirit bear -- estimated to number between 100 and 400 -- rarely emerges from deep within the forests of Princess Royal and Gribble Islands until fall salmon spawning season, we pin our hopes on grizzly sightings, although Smith encourages us to lay our species checklists aside and simply "put ourselves in the path of the magic."
Turns out, the magic is all around us as we explore some of the same secluded bays, marshy inlets and swift flowing channels that Captain George Vancouver and other early European explorers once charted, and that First Nations people have called home for thousands of years.
Magic in the exuberance of white-sided river dolphins and Dall's porpoises as they race alongside our ship, darting in and out of the water like aquatic bullet trains. In the friendly flicks of humpback tails, the slapstick routines of sea otters, and the precision-guided dive-bombing runs of eagles and sandhill cranes. And most powerfully, during our first close encounter with grizzlies in a waterfall-draped cove called Khutze Inlet.
Engine cut, our zodiac silently glides toward the inlet's shore, where we spot a 400-pound grizzly and her fluffy cub grazing on shoreline sedges and giant-leafed skunk cabbage. Everyone tenses with excitement, but not fear, because we're in good hands. With a decade of experience as a B.C. park ranger, Smith knows grizzlies and what safety precautions to take. We'll get respectfully close, but immediately retreat at the first hint of disturbance. Both bears seem blissfully undisturbed by our presence, and let us drift closer. That's for two reasons, explains skipper Smith.
"With us nearby she knows that the male grizzlies will keep their distance because they are especially uncomfortable around humans," Smith says, pointing out males may try to kill young cubs that are not their genetic offspring. "Mama bear is also relaxed because she knows that we're not here to shoot her," he adds.
Bear shootings have dropped dramatically since 2005, when the team of conservationists and scientists at Raincoast Conservation Foundation purchased the commercial hunting licence for a vast area here three times the size of Yellowstone National Park, effectively blocking access to trophy hunters. This innovative approach has helped protect bears and other trophy hunting targets such as coastal wolves -- already threatened by loss of habitat and a declining salmon supply -- from the crosshairs of high-powered rifles.
As our ursine neighbours munch their way toward the water's edge, they take turns rearing up on hind legs to sniff for danger and locate each other in the tall sedge. Then, as suddenly as the deer and wolf had plunged into the water, so do the bears. Startled by something (a nearby male?), they paddle past us like furry torpedoes, noses just clearing the water. Seconds later, they clamber onto the safety of the far shore.
Then vanish into the dark woods.
No lingering like the frustrated sea wolf for this pair. Although the cub can't resist glancing back at these colourful and curious creatures that have respectfully and peacefully entered the lair of the great bears.

X-rays on Arroyo's hand come back negative
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo was laughing and smiling after his start on Sunday afternoon, knowing things could have been much worse. Arroyo was drilled on the right hand on a comebacker by David Murphy in the sixth inning vs. the Rangers.
X-rays taken at the Rangers team facility were negative for any broken bones.
"I thought this knuckle had exploded," said Arroyo, pointing to the outside of his right hand. "But none of it is broke.
"Luckily my hand was kind of relaxed and my fingers weren't up. It just hit so hard. I thought for sure this knuckle was shattered."
It was the second-straight day that a Reds pitcher was injured on a shot back to the mound by a Rangers hitter. On Saturday, Mat Latos was struck in the left ankle by a Geovany Soto one-hopper. Like Arroyo, X-rays were negative.
When Arroyo was hit and in visible pain, Reds manager Dusty Baker took his hat off in disgust and nearly threw it.
"I could hear it. The first thing you have are bad visions and stuff," Baker said. "You just hate that this happened late in spring, or ever."
Reliever Jose Arredondo replaced Arroyo out of the bullpen.
Arroyo pitched 5 1/3 innings with three earned runs and nine hits with no walks and no strikeouts. He allowed one home run. He has a 3.71 ERA through five starts this spring.
"He hit it right on the screws," Arroyo said of Murphy. "My hand was just dangling down and it just squared me up and then ricocheted off of my left forearm and left a mark over there. I knew the game was over for me for the day. If it was the regular season, maybe it'd be a different story. I needed to come get some treatment."
Arroyo, who has pitched 542 games in the Majors and Minors without ever going on the disabled list in his career, expected to make his final spring start on Friday vs. the D-backs.
"I'll pitch," Arroyo said. "I have some work to do. It's going to be a few more hours in the training room, contrasting it and taking a few more drugs."

Homemade liqueurs are the ultimate gifts that keep giving. They continue to mellow and improve over time, and always trigger fond memories of the gifter when the recipient takes a little post-prandial tipple.
I've been making whatevercellos for years now. Limoncello is the most famous, of course, made from large, pungent lemons from Italy's southern region, but almost any citrus will do. I prefer stronger fruit, and grapefruit is my favorite. (Pompelmo is Italian for grapefruit, hence my fauxtalian name for the liqueur.) Bergamots and citron also work very well; meyer lemons I find to be too mild in flavor. I prefer to grate the rind as opposed to just zest as I like a slightly bitter edge. I also dial down the sweetness of the syrup just a bit.
This liqueur starts out with a high-octane infusion which is then diluted with a simple syrup. By starting with a 151-proof liquor like Everclear and then diluting it by half, it comes down to about 75 proof, which is much more drinkable. Moreover, it will stay liquid in the freezer.
There's just enough time to get this liqueur infused and mixed; when you give it, put an embargo date on it for 30 days out from when you do the blend. And invite yourself over in a month.
750 ml Everclear
4 grapefruit
4 c. sugar
5 c. water
Yield: About 1500 ml
Grate peel of grapefruit. Add to large jar and pour Everclear over. Seal and steep at least 10 days (20 is better), agitating every other day.
Strain infusion through a coffee filter. Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan, and stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved and the syrup is clear. Allow to cool. Add 750 ml of it to the infusion. Mix and bottle.
Let stand in a cool, dark place to meld for 30 days.
Serve well chilled.

Minor in Studio Art
Minor requirements
A minor in studio art consists of five studio courses, at least one of which must be at the 300 level. This means that the student must take two foundation-level courses (ARTS 116 or ARTS 111 or ARTS 112) and three additional courses, one of which is a 300-level course. Students contemplating a studio minor should take careful note of the prerequisites for 200- and 300-level courses. Art history majors may minor in studio art by taking four additional studio courses above and beyond the two required for the major (for a total of six).
For any questions regarding the studio art minor, please contact the studio coordinator, Claudia R. Fieo.

About the Book
After years of being at the top of my must-see list, I finally made it to Tibet in October of 2003. I immediately felt at home - falling in love with the people, places, and lifestyle. That first visit lasted 10-1/2 months!
In 2005 & 2006 I was employed as a tour leader with an Australian travel company, and once again found myself in Tibet - sharing with others what this magical place has to offer. I enjoyed taking them to out-of-the-way places, introducing them to local friends, and letting them experience first-hand what life is like in the 'Land of Snows'.
It's impossible to truly capture any country simply through photographs, but it's my hope that, after thumbing through these pages, you'll have a better appreciation for Tibet - her land, people, and customs.
I also hope that this book inspires you to see Tibet for yourself.

Well first of all,
thanks to keeping kde3.5 until pre-release.
I would like if you keep it, but there are rumors that the final release will be with kde4.
But I am not here to talk about themes or styles.
I am here to give you my personal thanks because ppa.pearsoncomputing.com is down...
This is NOT a howto upgrade a ubuntu-server to Backtrack4. As the Team tell us, that is stupit because the kernel is designed for all tools.
Again I will not recommend a ubuntu-server to Backtrack4, but if you really like KDE3.5 and you are using a Ubuntu-Server, you can install kde3.5 and using your mom language... ;)
Thanks again!

text: Share This Greetings, all! It is an honor and privilege to join you as editor of Wheaton magazine, following in the footsteps of my esteemed predecessor, Georgia Douglass (read "Tributes to Georgia"). I am eager to carry on the tradition of excellence she has established over the years through sharing the stories of students, faculty, and alumni with the Wheaton family worldwide. Though I am new to the role of Wheaton magazine editor, Wheaton College is certainly not new to me. After graduating from Wheaton in 2011 with a degree in communication (media studies) and a minor in biblical and theological studies, I spent a summer counseling high school students at HoneyRock before completing a master of science in journalism degree at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism in August 2012. I was hired as an editor at Christianity Today the day I received my diploma, and spent 18 months as online editor of Today's Christian Woman, where I helped develop weekly online and iPad versions of the magazine. In addition to my work at CT, I was also hired as Wheaton's journalism certificate program assistant in September 2012 to teach and assist students in finding media jobs and internships around the world. A highlight of my time on staff has been leading Wheaton's Honduras Project as the faculty adviser in spring 2013. This experience opened my eyes in new ways to the global and experiential learning opportunities the College offers. I am thrilled to see how God has aligned all these experiences into my new role as editor. In addition to producing the beautiful print product that is Wheaton magazine, I'm also eager to begin publishing our content online—feel free to share your favorite article (or two) with a friend! I am grateful to Georgia for the legacy I have inherited and have been entrusted to continue. I look forward to steering Wheaton into the future, but I can't do it without you! Please send your stories, letters, and comments via email to firstname.lastname@example.com, and consider starting a conversation on social media using the hashtag #wheatonmag.

|Serious Games for Simulation, Education and the Enterprise
|Date: January 12, 2013
|Serious Games for Simulation, Education and the Enterprise. Caltech/MIT Enterprise Forum. 'Game,' the phoneme, has spread its wings far beyond familiar "teenage" video games: it now embraces a variety of new and important applications. Evolving from pre-computer roots (e.g., "war games" for critical military exercises), today key computer simulations and training (variously dubbed "games") increasingly permeate the government world. Likewise, a wide variety of tasks, from corporate training to childhood education, have been variously recast in a "game" context with dimensions and purposes quite beyond simple "fun and entertainment." Today's program looks at the entrepreneurial / innovation context of the what-why-how of "serious games" in important social and commercial endeavors, exploring various facets such as applications, platforms, areas for growth, investment landscape, and how it all meshes with the undeniable lure of playing games.

I have two options for webhosting HostGator and Arvixe.I want to install a Joomla website and both of them provide different script installers.Which one should I go with Fantastico or Softaculous ?
First, take a look at the other recent thread on HostGator.
Second, relying on installers is a very bad thing to do as they make large programs easy to install but they are not designed to update the programs. Why is that important? Because suites like Joomla and WordPress update frequently to patch security issues as they are discovered. Installers aren't (as) concerned about that as you MUST be (to avoid being hacked).
Third, I have a client who demanded a Joomla installation. As you know, Joomla requires a significant amount of processing which makes it a terrible program to use on a shared server. To satisfy my client, I found WebHostingBuzz's "specialist hosting" which offers a Joomla-tailored (among others) account. My client is happy which makes me happy - particularly as there has yet to be a problem after a couple of years. WMB has servers in the US and Europe so be sure to link to the location serving your target audience.
Back to your question: I'd not depend on installers but Fantastico is what is typically provided with cPanel so they'd get my vote just on that basis.
This seems to be a common misconception. Just because you install using Softaculous does not mean you have to use the Softaculous updater. In the case of WordPress, or any other system that has an inbuilt updater, you'd be crazy not to use that rather than Softaculous's.
Secondly, many of these web applications don't have auto-update systems at all - Joomla itself didn't until very recently. If Softaculous etc provide something that's 100 times better than running old unpatched applications.
Neither of these are reasons not to use fantastico or softaculous; just don't use their update systems unless there's not one provided by your application.
Joomla, properly set up, is not particularly resource hungry. If you have been using hosting that has problems with it, you've been using poor quality hosting. Perhaps strong words, but this has been borne out by years of hosting Joomla sites with no problems. No doubt there are resource intensive components/modules, but that's not directly Joomla's problem. It should be no more resource heavy than WordPress.
Back to the original question - Softaculous appears cheaper, has more scripts, and is more regularly updated. Fantastico appears to have been largely deserted by it's owner, so I'd say its day is gone. Softaculous is also getting a lot of recommendations. You left out Installatrong, which is about half the price of Fantastico (Softaculous is about 1/4 the price). Installatron is also good, but has less scripts. I think on balance I'd use Softaculous.
Fantastico is fine, you setup in seconds Both are very similiar but I use Fantastico
I've been using Softaculous for a while now and it's been great with regular updates. Pricing isn't bad either on it.
You can't go wrong with either. Both will install it for your just fine. Another option would be to install it yourself if you don't want to deal with the fees associated with these installers. Installation instructions are fairly easy. You just need the database information and some admin configurations then once you use the installer PHP file - you are all set.
Softaculous is the way to go. If you use php5 + softaculous you will greatly reduce your susceptibility to hacks. Keep it upgraded and your security will be more solid.
Softaculous having much more auto installer scripts as compare to the Fantastico therefore you can prefer Softaculous
For example Magento script is missing on Softaculous
I think you meant it's missing from Fantastico; it's certainly present in Softaculous in all my hosting packages.
I'd look at the quality of the hosting first before looking at what offers better installers to be honest. I tried to install MyBB with Softaculous and I hated the options it gave me. A lot better to install it manually. But Softaculous do have a good range of apps to install.
Fantastico is usually always up to date in terms of having the latest script versions too though. Rarely have I seen an exploited script still on Fantastico or Softaculous actually.
Yes, you are correct the Magento script is missing in the Fantastico and available in the Softaculous
I think Softaculous is better autoinstaller at the moment. Fantastico was OK, but Softaculous is contantly updated with new scripts and worths more.
OK - I think we've covered this issue and the OP hasn't bothered to return. Thanks to all who contributed.

A former train driver from St Albans had the chance to revisit the tracks for his 90th birthday when his friend arranged for him to travel along his old route.
Alan Ashberry marked the landmark occasion by travelling along the Euston track in the driver's cab.
Along with his friend David Coasby, Mr Ashberry met Virgin driver depot manager Nick Chadwick at Watford Junction and they travelled to London Euston on the 11.16 service.
He said: "It was marvellous.
"It was very different. It was so quiet and very different to all the levers and things we had to manipulate in the steam engines. It was a complete contrast."
Mr Ashberry first joined the railway in 1936 at the age of 14 as a cleaner at Watford shed.
He gradually moved up the ranks to became a fireman and he was eventually made a driver.
During his time as a driver he worked on the Watford to St Albans Abbey line as well as the service to Euston.
He said: "I used to do the route in the the old steam trains.
"We went at a maximum of 85 miles an hour but on the journey last week the driver said we were doing 125 miles an hour."
Ill-health meant Mr Ashberry had to leave the railways in the mid 1950s and he took up engineering at Marconi Instruments in Long Acre, St Albans.
However his passion for trains continued and he took to building models.
Fellow train enthusiast David Coasby decided that he wanted to give his friend a birthday present to remember.
He contacted Virgin to see if the pair would be able to ride in the cab travelling along his old route.
Mr Coasby said: "We were extremely impressed with the comfort of the ride, even when the train went into its tilting mode.
"The cab looked like something out of Star Trek with it's many instruments, communication devices, CCTV and other safety features.
"The Virgin staff were interested to hear of Alan exploits all those years ago and many stories of life on the railways, both then and now, were exchanged."

Con-way Inc. Honored with Social Innovation Award from Justmeans and Financial Times
Tesla Motors, Cisco Networking Academy, Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Women initiative and eBay's Green Team were among the organizations and initiatives taking home awards March 24 from the Justmeans.com/Financial Times 2010 Social Innovation Awards dinner in Manhattan.
A nonprofit organization, the San Francisco-based TechSoup Global, received the event's Citizen's Choice Award. TechSoup Global -- which convenes weekly nonprofit strategy meetings in Second Life -- has provided technology assistance to more than 100,000 nonprofits and libraries in North America and globally. Its more than 30 corporate partners include Cisco and Microsoft. TechSoup Global was voted the most worthy of the citizen's choice award by a majority of some 12,000 citizens voting online during the past two months.
Martin Smith, founder and CEO of Justmeans, said: "We wanted to showcase companies that are helping us innovate out of the challenges that face us today. Award-winners are not those companies and organization trying to mitigate their social and environmental impact," Smith said, "but are those that are creating the processes, systems, programs, and initiatives that we hope will be replicated across their industries and across business over the coming years."
Over one hundred companies participated in the awards program and all categories, except the Citizens' Choice award, were judged by a panel of experts.
Award Winners Included:
Most Innovative Nonprofit: LIFE/LanX Local Investment Project, a social venture to establish a local stock exchange for U.S. companies too small for national listing. The goal: to make more equity finance available to local communities across America and help them build out of the current recession.
Most Innovative Small For-Profit: Vestergaard Frandsen, a Danish company that, for 40 years, made uniforms for hotel workers and retailers. Now it makes textile-based, life-saving products, including ZeroFly, a durable plastic sheeting for sheltering refugees that also kills disease-spreading insects, and LifeStraw, a water filtration tool the size of paper-towel cylinder that helps thousands who are deprived of clean drinking water, helping them to turn polluted water into drinkable supplies.
Most Innovative Large For-Profit: Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Women initiative, a five-year investment by the Wall Street firm to provide 10,000 under-served women around the world with business and management education.
Best New Green Product: Tesla Motors, a Silicon Valley-based company that engineers and manufactures electric cars. The Tesla Roadster, the company's first vehicle, can get 200 miles on a single charge, can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds, and is roughly twice as energy-efficient as the Toyota Prius. The company produced its 1,000th Roaster in January of this year.
Best Social Investment Strategy: Sparkseed, an incubator for social innovation startups conceived by young risk-takers and college students, encouraging them to apply business principles to address the world's toughest problems. The program works with young social entrepreneurs for six months, giving them coaching and seed resources to help them succeed.
Most Influential Supply Chain Management Strategy: Dispensary of Hope, a nonprofit social venture that crowd-sources medication to uninsured populations. The program is a partnership with three leading pharmaceutical companies, including Merck; the dispensary, founded in 2003, has so far filled more than 200,000 prescriptions for patients who otherwise couldn't afford them.
Best Base of Pyramid Strategy: Thomson-Reuters, for its "market lite"
short-messaging news and information service that tells BOP farmers in India the latest market and weather information, helping them to offset risk and plant/sell their crops more successfully.
Best Employee Engagement Strategy: eBay, for its Green Team, a grassroots effort started by a small group of eBay employees to make eBay a green place to work. The Green Team has since has grown into a group of more than 2,000 eBay employees, all supporting environmental causes in local communities and promoting sustainable business practices within the company. A year ago, eBay invited its community of buyers and sellers to join the Green Team; after just six weeks, the team had more than 100,000 members.
Best Stakeholder Engagement: Cisco Networking Academy. Since 1997, the networking academy has grown from a small-scale program designed to help schools get the most out of Cisco's networking equipment to Cisco's largest CSR program, with courses taught at more than 9,000 academies in 165 countries. More than 800,000 students develop ICT skills through the program each year.
Best Internal Sustainability: Con-way, a $4.3 billion freight transportation and logistics services company based in San Mateo, Calif., for its aggressive internal sustainability program to cut waste, reduce fuel consumption, recycle equipment and supplies, and procure goods and services from companies that have clearly stated sustainability goals and values.
Most Strategic Philanthropy Program: Gap Inc. and Brighter Planet (a tie); Gap for its P.A.C.E. program, and Brighter Planet for its crowd-powered micro-grant program, called the Brighter Planet Project Fund, to help communities create low-carbon initiatives.
Said Justmeans' Smith: "Some of these companies are in the early stages of their work and innovation often fails, so will all of these companies actually revolutionize business? No, but at the same time, we wanted to reward both companies with proven success and those with very good ideas, which the judges felt had a lot of potential to drive change."

THURSDAY, Oct 3, 2013 (Kaiser Health News) — Have you heard of the young invincibles? That's the name given to young people who think nothing bad can happen to them -- healthy people whose enrollment in Obamacare insurance is key to offsetting the costs of older, less healthy buyers.
Brad Stevens is a 54-year-old, not-so-young invincible— recently reformed.
He has been uninsured for most of his adult life. "Ever since about 24 when I finished college. Basically, I've always tried to take care of myself and be healthy and exercise and eat right and take vitamins and that type of thing," he says.
During the three decades Stevens has spent without health coverage, there have been numerous attempts to curb the growing ranks of the uninsured in the U.S. by revamping the nation's insurance market, including the Affordable Care Act. Stevens is not alone in his uninsured status. Twenty percent of California's population is uninsured, some 5 million people who could gain coverage under the health law.
The Kaiser Family Foundation surveyed 2,000 of California's uninsured on the eve of the opening of health care exchanges that were created by the ACA. Stevens participated in the survey, which aims to follow the same group of individuals over the next two years. (Kaiser Health News is an editorially independent program of the Kaiser Family Foundation.)
Stevens wasn't interested in the debate over how best to provide health care to the uninsured. He didn't view it as an issue for him. "I'm the epitome of health, and so I didn't have much concern. My health care was working out every day, eating right and taking care of myself," he said.
But that began to change. One day while cycling on the country roads in Lakeport, Calif., where he lives, Stevens took a spill and separated his shoulder. By then, he had worked in a number of jobs, usually working with his hands. He'd been a building contractor, manager of a fruit warehouse, and a massage therapist. In pain for six months and with only $2,000 to his name, Stevens got medical help from the county. Now he bikes in a gym where he sees his clients.
That wasn't the end of his troubles. One day, he says, "Boom! I ended up with cancer, thyroid cancer."
Because of the health care law, Stevens will qualify for Medicaid, the federal program for low income families and individual. Before the health law, being covered by Medicaid was available only to children, pregnant women and the disabled. Now all low income people in states that are expanding Medicaid will qualify. Stevens earns less than $15,000 a year in his struggling massage business.
Stevens says he is relieved that he won't have to worry about being denied coverage for pre-existing conditions, another change made by the health care law. Besides his battle with thyroid cancer, which is being controlled with medications, and a separated shoulder, his mother and aunt have multiple sclerosis. He's avoided getting tested for the disease out of fear that the results would make it impossible to qualify for insurance.
Stevens says he worries about people like his massage patients. "People are hurting, and they need help, and I don't think Congress has a clue. Fifty-five-year-old people are falling apart. They can't swing a hammer till they're 70 or 80, like some congressman who sits at a desk and jaws."
Once he occasionally went to the county fairgrounds when a volunteer group offered free medical check ups. Now he is anxious to sign up for Medicaid, although he hopes he won't have any additional medical issues. "I hope I don't need to use it," he says. "I'm thinking I'm going to get a peace of mind from it."

Black & Decker has introduced a new range of steam cleaning units, encompassing four new models, hitting pricepoints from $79.99 to $139.99. According to the company, the new units address consumer points of dissatisfaction with some existing steam cleaners.
"We've identified four areas with steam cleaning products that were in need of improvement and innovation: steam mops that are difficult to fill; units with awkward controls; insufficient cleaning power; and units that are unable to access difficult areas like tight corners," said Austin Wilcox , product manager at Black & Decker. "The new Black & Decker Steam Cleaning Units allow users to clean multiple floor surface types like tile, vinyl, stone, marble and even sealed hard wood. Consumers are able to get a deep down clean using only water."
Features available on Black & Decker's new steam cleaning units that address these areas include a removable water tank that allows users to fill directly into the water reservoir and a digital handle command, which provides adjustable steam setting controls right in the handle. Two of the new models include SmartSelect technology where consumers can choose a steam setting to address individual floor types. Smart Select provides three different steam settings that correspond to different floor types to produce the right amount of steam to clean the selected floor material. The wood setting is the lowest and keeps the unit safe for sealed hardwood floors.
Select models include the steam burst feature, which produces up to 50% more steam in a 10-second burst. The steam burst option is useful for removing tough grime and stains in heavily soiled areas. An additional feature on select models, the Lift & Reach detail head, is designed to provide access to tight spaces and corners. To use the Lift and Reach option, consumers simply step on the release bar located on the steam mop unit to remove the Lift and Reach detail head from the larger pad. All of the new steam mop units have an automatic upright shut off which helps protects floors from damage during pauses in cleaning, a 15-second heat up time and a ready-to go illumination tank that changes from red to blue to let users know when the steam mop reaches the correct temperature.

GROSSE POINTE PARK, Mich. - Grosse Pointe Park police are warning residents to be on alert after a woman was followed home from a local store and attacked in her own backyard.
It happened around 10:30am Sunday morning on the 1100 block of Wayburn Street as the 84-year-old woman was walking home.
Grosse Pointe Park police told Local 4 that the attacker followed her into her backyard after she bought a newspaper at her local store. He put his hand over her mouth and went through her pockets then ran away when he didn't find anything.
"It's very rare for us to have something like this, especially on a Sunday morning," said Grosse Pointe Park Police Chief David Hiller. "Our cars were there within a minute, in the area surrounding, and we were just unable to locate anything."
Now residents are being warned to be on high alert and take note of anything suspicious.
"I've lived here for 30 years and I'm stunned," said Ann Murphy who lives in the neighborhood. "Things are really different now. You have to be careful."
