RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- The first woman to lead U.S. troops in combat says she's thrilled the Pentagon has changed a policy that banned other women from the battlefield.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta lifted the ban Thursday on women serving in direct combat roles, more than 23 years after then-U.S. Army Capt. Linda Bray led 45 military police officers in a firefight during the invasion of Panama.
Bray says her male superiors couldn't believe what she had done and questioned why she had left the safety of a command post to join her soldiers in battle. Lauded by the White House, her actions sparked a heated debate in Congress over whether women belonged in combat.
Now that the ban is lifted, Bray says she hopes women sent to war will forge stronger partnerships with their male colleagues.

Less than a month after Mercy for Animals released an undercover video alleging animal abuse at a Minnesota hog farm, the group has released more abuse footage from an Oklahoma farm.
According to NBC News, the video was shot at West Coast Farms in Okfuskee County, Okla., by Mercy for Animals from mid-September to mid-October.
"Pete," the undercover activist responsible for the footage, told NBC News that he reported abuse to owner Lonnie Herring three times but the alleged abuse continued. "Pete" also argues that of the workers he questioned, all suggested that the "owner had not spoken to them recently about animal handling."
Herring denies that "Pete" reported the alleged abuse to him and refutes the claim that his workers weren't properly trained in animal care. Herring does agree the video showed "mistreatment" of animals and took immediate action, including terminating the employees seen in the video.
Tyson Foods responded quickly to the video and terminated its contract with the farm.
The National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) released a statement on the video, stating that "farmers do not defend and will not accept abuse of animals."
"The Mercy For Animals undercover video shows workers abusing animals, actions that violate the high standards of the U.S. pork industry. NPPC and America's hog farmers do not condone and, in fact, strongly condemn practices that are not in accord with U.S. pork industry best practices," the group said. "NPPC calls on Oklahoma authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and to bring criminal charges against workers who abused animals."
"We're extremely disappointed by the mistreatment shown in the video and will not tolerate this kind of animal mishandling," said Gary Mickelson, a spokesman for Tyson Foods. "We are immediately terminating our contract with this farmer and will take possession of the animals remaining on the farm."
Livestock-handling expert Temple Grandin reviewed the undercover video, and said it was evidence the farm's employees were "poorly trained."
No charges have been filed as of Thursday. Maxey Reilly, assistant district attorney for Okfuskee County, says that while she has seen the information provided by Mercy for Animals – and been asked by the group's legal counsel about filing animal cruelty charges - she wants to learn more about industry standards.

for one such program.)
There are a bunch of obvious utilities it would be useful to have on the EZ Reader and the Pocket Pro. For example, a program that lets you select a file on the device or SD card and delete or rename it, or a program that lets you convert from one format to another. (While I'm wishing how about a port of the Calibre conversion tools!!)
I don't really know how realistic this is, or even in what language this stuff is written in. Do the v3 and v5 have a version of Python, for example?
Does anyone have any useful knowledge on how to do all this that they are willing to share?
don't expect a interpreter language like perl or python to run since I doubt the interpreter is present. I suspect you need a compiled Linux binary (source language unimportant). The trick is the Cool Reader is used to support FB2 files and the interface has a way to kick off other programs. Notice that all programs ported to the Hanlin use FB2 extension to provide a way to launch them. The hardware is pretty well known for the V3 but not so much for the V5 although people are learning. After all there is even an alternate OS version of Linux already developed for the Hanlin.

Wonderful blue Matisse 1950's set called Peter Pan. This was a popular design - came in other colors too, red, yellow. I found these at different times but I knew they went together. I have 2 pair of the earrings I just realized. Also can tell someone wore the necklace a lot - the copper links aren't as bright as the bracelet and earrings.
For scale: the bracelet is 1.25" at widest, the necklace 1" and is 16" long and the clip earrings are 1"x.75".
Beautiful craft work and feels good on...

Thanks for your help. I read Chapter 5 Modules from PLT MzScheme Language Manual and Chapter 55 unit.ss from PLT MzLib: LIbraries Manual I am still not able to do interactive development, where changes in one DrScheme window are picked up by a running MrEd window. After reading about modules, I tried this: ; new window Language "Pretty Big (includes MrEd and Adv Student)" ; in module-lib.scm (module module-lib mzscheme (define (foo) "bar") (provide foo)) ; clicked run ; new window ; in module-test.scm (module module-test mzscheme (require "module-lib.scm") (define (test-foo) (display "Hello ") (display (foo))(newline) (sleep 1) (test-foo)) (provide test-foo)) (require module-test) (test-foo) ; click run ; The interaction window starts printing "Hello bar" over and over ; go back to module-lib window and change (define (foo) "bar") ;into (define (foo) "foo") ; click run switch back to module-test.scm window and look at interaction window... it is still printing "Hello bar" I expected it to change to "Hello foo" Is this possible with DrScheme or MzScheme?

Samsung ATIV S Neo ReviewSamsung ATIV S Neo
Samsung has included a run-of-the-mill 8 megapixel camera on the ATIV S Neo. It performed acceptably, but was not a standout. Outdoor images were the best; the ATIV S Neo had good color reproduction and photos looked natural viewed at web-friendly sizes. Blown up to full resolution details were not as crisp as we'd like, and there was definite noise. Indoors produced the same good color reproduction, but noise was significantly increased even without artificial lighting. Even in strong outdoor lighting the ATIV S Neo had some troubled with shadows causing darker than expected images or focus issues, as seen in the pink wall sample.
The Windows Phone camera interface is nice and clean, and one of the nice features of Windows Phone is that you can wake the phone directly to the camera by holding the shutter key. Still, even with that shortcut it took about 6 seconds to snap a photo from sleep. For comparison, we were able to wake our Nexus 4, slide over a screen, open our camera app (which is within a folder) and snap a picture in about the same amount of time. Taking a second picture with the ATIV S Neo took another 2 seconds, as the camera had to refocus even though we were shooting the same object and nothing had moved. Though the software is well designed, it has little in the way of extra features and is much slower than it should be. The MangaCamera app is preloaded, which adds frame and stylization options to your shots.
Samsung ATIV S Neo Sample Images
Samsung ATIV S Neo Sample Images
The ATIV S Neo records video at 1080p and allows you to snap pictures while recording. Video quality was quite acceptable for a smartphone, but videos turned out darker and shakier than we'd like. It did transition well between dark and light areas, and for the most part motion was captured smoothly. The mic was also a bit sensitive, as you can hear the wind noise prominently in our demo video even though it was not a windy day.
The ATIV S Neo does not have any standout multimedia features like the BoomSound speakers found on HTC's 8XT, but the 720p screen made the ATIV S Neo much more amenable to watching video. It did not have any issues playing our test files, although like other Windows Phone devices it was unable to display all of our album art. The Samsung Link app is the front end for DLNA connection to stream media to other connected devices.

WP + GS3 = Samsung ATIV S
Nice formula Samsung!
In near future there would be:
WP + GNote2 = Samsung ATIV "put any letter here"

Seriously guys, how about reviewing a smartphone based on how well it performs instead of your own ridiculous bias against an operating system ???
PA rated this phone a 6.5, which leaves me bewildered if you consider that it's the same score awarded to the galaxy pocket neo - a feature phone with a 3" qvga (320x240; 133 ppi ; 256K colour) , 832mhz single core processor , 2mp rear camera (no ffc), no lte etc..

Specs are not the only thing that go into a review. Another huge factory is the price.
The pocket Neo is $130 unlocked on Amazon.
The Galaxy Ativ S Neo will be somewhere between $400-$500 most likely.
Completely different classes of phones in range and price.
8. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3822; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
Yeah, dude. Shatter is right. You can't compare "entry-level" phones to flagships & mid-rangers. If they were all lumped together in the same category, all "entry-level" phones would deserve ratings in the 1-3 range.
4. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
6.5 is too harsh... 7.5 seems about right. Samsung uses the same design language and it's a con? Every OEM does it now.

Yup they all do and only Samsung and Apple get hate for it.

more win os phone by samsung means, Nokia gonna release better phones
I think this phone deserve 7/10
14. lsutigers (Posts: 821; Member since: 08 Mar 2009)
Agreed, it does have the largest screen on any Windows Phone to date and it has the highest resolution available on WP today, 720p.
As far as processor goes, you don't need more than a dual core to run WP smoothly, similar to iOS and unlike Android.
12. quentin (Posts: 1; Member since: 29 Aug 2013)
I have to disagree with parts of this review. I own this phone and have had none of the lag/performance issues that the reviewer did, nor was my call quality poor at all. I asked people I called, and they all unanimously said that my call quality was great, better than my older phone for sure.
Sure, it may not have the out there and flashy design that other Windows Phones have, but that's not Samsung's modus operandi. They don't make flashy phones. They, as the reviewer mentioned, make phones with more of a standard, business-like look to them. I feel like too many points were docked on this phone for the physical aesthetics alone.
Spec-wise, it's extremely close to any of the Lumia 92X devices, and performs just as well.
I don't know why they recommend the HTC over this for Sprint customers - the screen on the HTC compared to this is lower res, and has half of the amount of internal storage.
This device has a removable battery and a micro SD slot, both major wins for any Windows Phones. No Nokia Lumia has those features.
From my week+ using the phone, I'd honestly give it an 8... nothing that will blow your socks off, but certainly not bad in any respect. It's the best Windows Phone device you can get on Sprint. This 6.5 is certainly too low.
15. apocalypsebc (Posts: 148; Member since: 07 Dec 2010)
I totally agree! I give the Samsung Ativ S Neo an 8. This is a big upgrade from the HTC Arrive. I don't really care about the beats audio but I do like the HD LCD Display on the 4.8" screen and 16 Gigs of internal memory. I laughed at the part about the lag on the phone because I haven't had any problems or lag on my phone. That's not to say that there isn't any lag on any phone. They all will eventually lag or have a glitch here and there but Windows Phone is known for their smooth as butter OS. The call quality has been great on both ends as well. Overall, this phone is well appreciated on Sprint. Sprint has always been late when it comes to Windows Phone. I don't really see any Android, Apple, or Windows Phone users using Scout. Nokia's "HERE DRIVE" GPS Navigations is Superior to Scout. You can even download the maps to navigate without cellular data. The 6.5 score is a little bit low for this device. In my opinion, it deserves an 8. I believe the coverage in phonearena's area was terrible and the device was defected or a dev device.

I've owned almost all the top shelf Windows Phones. Focus, Focus S, Nokia 920, HTC 8X. I currently have been using this ATIV NEO S since launch date on Sprint, and it is NO worse than any other WP8 device out there!! NO performance issues, NO call quality issues!! I rate this device at least an 8.

Got this phone 2 weeks ago. I had WP 7.X and was hooked. I am average user and needed a balance of camera, storage, size, battery, speed, aesthetics. WP 8.1 is doing just fine for APP availability. You could spend all day comparing this APP that APP. How many do you really need?
Outlook & skydrive are seemless. Live tiles work great.
We have Iphone and Android in the house with the kids but they really picked their phones because the girls had Iphones and the guys had Android. Not saying that they are wrong, but they wouldn't even look at the WP. Too bad. its a great option in this really nice phone. 8/10.
21. NeverAgain23 (Posts: 1; Member since: 11 Feb 2014)
BUYER BEWARE!!! This phone looks nice but there are a few flaws that make this phone just a piece of crap.
1. The voicemail message indication system is anything but a message indication and I sometimes find that I have voicemail messages days old that I never even knew were left.
2. Unlike all previous phones I've had, voicemail messages are automatically deleted after about 10 days after retrieving whether you like it or not.
3. Initially in the first three months of having the phone, it charged beautifully in about 3 hours (top to bottom fully charged i.e. 0-100%). Now after just just 3 months my phone takes more time to charge than an elephant in labor after and purchasing a new battery for no reason other than that being the advice of the service provider I have the same probelm charging my phone.
What used to take 3 hours now takes days to fully or even 50% charge, I put my phone to charge from a 35% battery life on Sunday, February 9th, 2014 @ 11:15AM and it is now Tuesday, February 11th, 2014 9:18PM and the phone is still not charged fully, in fact, it is now only at 91%. Now mind you I left the phone at home all thesse days and used my son's phone through this ordeal. What CRAP is this?
4. Forget about the MS office applications I have yet to get them to actually work properly and this feature was my reason for buying this phone.
If you want to be stress out waiting for your phone to charge, BUY THIS PHONE
If immediate voicemail messages from your boss, clients, spouse, children, parents, and colleagues especially in emergency situations are unimportant to you, BUY THIS PHONE
If you have no need to open documents from work, your children's school etc. BUY THIS PHONE.

Way off on this review! The poor call quality & bit of lag had to be attributed to Sprint! I snagged the Neo from Ebay in mint condition just under 140.00 & am running it on At&t's Cricket Wireless network just fine. Plus the update to the 8.1 preview I just did to it. (which was surprisingly easy) makes it so much better. WP 8.1 really is great! Anyway this is a great device. HTC I have read at least with the 8X doesn't use the flash to help focus shots on the camera either. Which can result in more blur. This Samsung with the right tweaks in the settings too takes better photos then said here. Laggier Androids have gotten better scorres then this. That's one thing I don't like about PA is your scores really are not accurate sometimes..

Kim Kardashian in White Dresses
Will Kim Kardashian Only Wear White Until Her Wedding?
Kim Kardashian may have only gotten engaged last week, but she has wasted no time dressing the part of the bride. Just two days ago, she sat down with Jay Leno at The Tonight Show in a curve-hugging white lace dress — but traditional it was not. The sheer fabric put her sexy black underwear on display. This is just one of the three times in the past week — yes, it's only been a week! — that the star has donned white, which leaves us to wonder if she's already giving thought to what the dress on her big day will look like.
See her other sexy white looks — and vote on your favorite! — here.
Kim channeled sexy lace lingerie in a crop-top look by Dolce & Gabbana at her 33rd birthday bash in Las Vegas. She completed the look with a colorful clutch and a shimmering pair of gold sandals.
At a gala in Beverly Hills, which marked her first appearance since the engagement, Kim opted for a body-conscious white dress, which showed just a sliver of skin.

Power prices up 22% under National
29 January 2013
Power prices up 22% under National
Data tabled in parliament today shows that power prices have risen 22% since National came to power; increasing 3% last year alone despite demand falling by 2%, said the Green Party today.
January Consumer Price Index information proves that power prices are rising at twice the rate of inflation, even as demand falls.
"Families doing it tough will find it galling that the Government and the Electricity Authority are telling them they are not paying enough for power," said Green Party energy spokesperson Gareth Hughes.
"The Green Party New Zealand Power policy would cut power bills by $300 a year, but National and the Electricity Authority want to keep a system that sees power prices rise.
"Simon Bridges thinks the electricity market is working, but constant price rises show is it not and is actually hurting families and businesses.
"Simon Bridges has his head in the sand and is defending a failed electricity market that is stretching family budgets.
"42,600 families were disconnected for failure to pay their power bills in the year to September 2013, four times the level of non-payment disconnections in 2008.
"The rapid raise in electricity disconnections under National is further evidence power prices are too high and increasing dangerously.
"The Green Party will be campaigning on cheaper power prices this election. It looks like the Government will be campaigning on their track record of larger power bills for Kiwi families."
• Electricity Authority: Disconnections for non payment. January 2006 – September 2013

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
are you available to chat?
Good morning, yes I am able to chat
Morning, eh? It is 7:15pm here in Wisconsin. :)
anyway you are describing a subconjunctival hemorrhage.
In the vast majority of cases, sub conjunctival hemorrhage is nothing to worry about. It is usually not a sign of any serious condition but rather is just a small broken blood vessel in the conjunctiva that looks much worse than it really is.No treatment is necessary. Think of a subconjunctival hemorrhage as a bruise. The reason it looks so red (some people say it looks like a piece of raw meat) is that the skin on your eye is very thin so the underlying blood shows through easily. On your arm, for instance, a bruise looks blue/purple because the overlying skin is thick, blocking the red color of the blood.Like a bruise elsewhere a subconjunctival hemorrhage will slowly go away over the course of a couple of weeks. It may spread around the globe some and change colors as it clears. This is nothing to be concerned about.
It is the middle of winter here.......guess that makes it summer on your end of the planet.
Ahhhhh so sorry, I didn't realise you are so far - for some reason I thought I talk to doctors here in Australia - funny. Yes you right, here is nice and sunny and there is nice and cold . Thank you for your answer, I was little bit worry - because it hapenned 2 days ago and it didn't go away and to see a doctor /i was scared that he will take my eye out - hehe/
Na. You're gonna be just fine. Nothing to worry about.
Hopefully someday I can get to your country. I'd love to see the Southern Cross with my own eyes. Anyway, it is always a pleasure to help my friends from Down Under. :o)
And, now, the obligatory word from our sponsors: :o)
I hope that this information was helpful for you. Please, allow me get credit for my time and effort in assisting you and press the ACCEPT button for this assist. I will be glad to answer additional questions until you are satisfied. Thank you very much.Positive Feedback and/or Bonus is welcomed and appreciated.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi and welcome back!
Here is extract from IRS publication 504 that addresses your situation - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p504.pdf
Joint estimated tax payments. If you and your spouse made joint estimated tax payments for 2010 but file separate returns, either of you can claim all of your payments, or you can divide them in any way on which you both agree. If you cannot agree, the estimated tax you can claim equals the total estimated tax paid times the tax shown on your separate return for 2010, divided by the total of the tax shown on your 2010 return and your spouse's 2010 return.
If you claim any of the payments on your tax return, enter your spouse's or former spouse's social security number in the space provided on the front of Form 1040 or Form 1040A. If you were divorced and remarried in 2010, enter your present spouse's social security number in that space and enter your former spouse's social security number, followed by "DIV" to the left of Form 1040, line 62, or Form 1040A, line 39.
So - first of all - there should be an agreement or a court order how estimated taxes should be divided. If there is no agreement - follow the procedure above - you may not simply use 1/2 of the estimated tax.
thanks very much

Our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
This site is a part of the "Know-Prophet" campaign.
In this site, you will find MANY MANY links about prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). You can say that this site is like a HUGE POT for information about this Great Prophet (peace be upon him and all other prophets).
You will find links that offer you information about ISLAM in general, if you are interested to know about Islam too. Some links offer free stuff, like the links below.
In the Full Light of History!
Much has been written about the Prophet Muhammad (saas), from indepth biographies by Muslim scholars and non-Muslim researchers to sayings upon sayings of others. Muhammad ibnu Abdillah was born in Mecca in the year 569 CE. He earned his living as a trader and was known by his people as al-amin (the trustworthy one). When Muhammad (saas) reached the age of 40, the angel Gabriel came to him with revelations that established his prophethood. Muhammad (saas) was first ordered to instruct his immediate family on Islam, including his beloved wife Khadija, but eventually it was revealed to him that he should begin delivering the message to all of mankind. In the next 20 years of his life, he communicated the message of Allah to his people, and set an example for how each human being should lead her or his life. This is especially valuable since Muhammad (saas) is the last Prophet of Allah. In the year 632, the year of his death, the Prophet delivered his famous last sermon.

Union stalking
Helping to put the "thug" in union thuggery, Pennsylvania and at least three other states grant Big Labor certain "exemptions" to stalking and trespassing laws, trampling what should be clearly defined citizen protections against harassment, according to a new report by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Since when are state laws conditional upon who violates them? Apparently, since labor uses its political muscle to mitigate these laws in Illinois, California, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
As detailed in "Sabotage, Stalking & Stealth Exemptions: Special State Laws for Labor Unions," all states have penalties against stalking. But in the Keystone State, for example, the law "shall not apply to conduct by a party to a labor dispute," the chamber reports.
Consider the "campaign" by the Philadelphia construction unions against Post Brothers Apartments in that city. Allegedly, the pregnant wife of one of the company's owners "is routinely followed taking their toddler to preschool by picketers," according to Post Brothers.
And trespassing in California? That's OK, too. The chamber reports that police refused to remove union members who allegedly harassed customers outside a Ralphs grocery store, even though the reported confrontations occurred on a store-owned sidewalk.
Such legal leeway for unions to apply harassment and even intimidation is inexcusable and must be purged from state laws.

Denard Robinson, the former Michigan running back and Michigan's All-Time Interception-Thrower, was recently asked to rank Michigan's rivals:
Of course we've got to say Ohio's the biggest one. (Then) Notre Dame and (No. 3) Michigan State, our little brothers.
It's little surprise Denard Robinson holds a grudge against Ohio State, being that he's 1-3 all time vs. the Buckeyes and his single win came against an OSU team that finished with seven losses. It's not like he could rank Ohio State anywhere else.
What is surprising is he ranks Michigan State below Notre Dame, a ranking I'm sure most Michigan fans would disagree with. But Denard did go 1-3 against Michigan State with five interceptions to his two touchdowns, so perhaps this is just his way of attempting to even the score posthumously.

And Tiny Small needed one too - this is actually hers. There is a pocket for small pencils, another for stickers and a third for a notebook. I shifted the central pocket up because I like it better that way, though it did introduce an element of wonkiness that's not entirely pleasing. Mind you, it matches the dodgy topstitching. I promise that in real life it is fairly straight but the pencils pulled it out of shape, That's my story, anyway.
Tall Small's is identical inside but has the cover guarded by some wise old owls. I do love the owls and the birds very much indeed.
The original called for a memo pad but I have a soft spot for mini moleskines and very slightly modified the pattern so I could fit one in. They're perfect for drawing pictures on yourself with your big sister when you miss her

NEW YORK (Jul. 15)
The head of Spain's Jewish community disclosed here that final details are being concluded on an historic agreement, a "concordat" between the government of Spain and the Jewish community, defining and protecting the civil and religious status of the Jewish community in Spain.
Samuel Toledano, secretary-general of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain, the representative body of Spanish Jewry, made this disclosure at a meeting Friday with leaders of 30 national Jewish organizations. The meeting was called by the WJCongress-American Section and was chaired by Frieda Lewis, president of Hadassah.
Toledano said that the Spanish Jewish community, numbering some 12,000 persons, is striving to preserve Jewish life with "dignity and pride" in a country where Jewish life has been absent for five centuries.
He reported that, with the help of the WJCongress legal office in Geneva, agreement with the Spanish government on the concordat will finally give legal sanction and protection to Jewish communal concerns. Among the important provisions agreed upon are that:
Jewish communal property like that of the Catholic Church will be tax exempt; the Federation will formally be given official status as the Jewish representative to the government on a par with other faiths; students will be given the right not to take exams on Jewish holidays nor will Jewish soldiers be obligated to serve on such days (services would be "made up" on Sundays and Christian holidays); the Jewish community will have access to state television and a regular weekly Jewish program is to be initiated; and protection of Jewish cultural patrimony is to be guaranteed.
Toledano told the Jewish leaders that the Spanish government had appointed him a member of the commission organizing the 500th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of America in 1492. When he pointed out to the government that the year had significance "for another event" (the expulsion of Spanish Jewry) it was decided that this anniversary also would be marked by an appropriate commemoration.
In addition, the Spanish government, jointly with the WJCongress, is undertaking to organize observances in connection with the 850th anniversary of the birth of Maimonides, the medieval Jewish scholar and physician, at his birthplace in Cordoba, Toledano said.
Toledano reported that there was a general groundswell of support within the country for the establishment of diplomatic relations between Spain and Israel. "If a referendum were to be held today," he said, "it is likely that more than eighty percent of the population would be in favor."
Although formal diplomatic relations between the two countries are not maintained, there is in fact an "Israeli Ambassador" in Madrid who, while technically accredited to the world tourist organization headquartered in the city, is received by the Spanish government and treated on a de facto basis with full diplomatic protocol. Moreover, Toledano noted, that, in other spheres, particularly trade, culture, and technology, there are increasingly strong relations between the two countries.
He praised the efforts of WJCongress president Edgar Bronfman in his involvement in the delicate negotiations to bring about Spanish diplomatic recognition of Israel and briefed the Jewish leadership on the stage of the negotiations. He singled out the unrelenting pressure of Arab countries as the single most important obstacle to be overcome on this issue.

Paris, France – Stanislas Wawrinka, hotfoot from his Australian Open triumph, turns his mind to affairs of national importance this weekend as he leads Switzerland into battle against last season's beaten finalists Serbia in the Davis Cup World Group first round.
In last Sunday's final in Melbourne, the new world number three captured his first Grand Slam title with a four-set upset of Rafael Nadal.
Wawrinka told the Melbourne crowd he was looking forward to the tie against the weakened Serbs - as long as he survived his victory party.
"Davis Cup, it's really important for me. I'm really proud. It's a big honour to play for my country....
"I don't know how I'm going to get there exactly, if I'm still going to be alive after tonight, but I'm going to go there... There's a big chance I get drunk tonight...."
Nadal, the world number one, is one of a clutch of stars missing from this weekend's opening salvoes of the venerable 114-year-old competition.
While Nadal and world number five David Ferrer skip Spain's tie with Germany in Frankfurt, Serbia must face Wawrinka's Switzerland without Novak Djokovic.
The Swiss in contrast are looking strong as along with the in-form Wawrinka they boast Roger Federer, who confirmed his presence on Wednesday.
Argentina meanwhile face Italy without their top player, Juan Martin Del Potro, knocked out in the second round at Melbourne.
Djokovic had already signalled his intention not to play at Novi Sad before his quarter-final loss to Wawrinka last week.
With Janko Tipsarevic (injured) and Viktor Troicki (suspended) also out Serb captain Bogdan Obradovic is fielding untested youngsters Dusan Lajovic, Filip Krajinovic and Ilija Bozoljac with veteran Nenad Zimonjic set to play in the doubles.
In Ostrava, world number seven Thomas Berdych, a semi-final victim of Wawrinka's last week, leads the Czechs into battle against the Dutch, returning to the Davis Cup fast lane for the first time since 2009.
Czech captain Jaroslav Navratil is upbeat over his team's prospects
"We hope to continue our recent run of results," said Navratil, whose team beat Spain in the 2012 final and then defeated Serbia to retain their crown in Belgrade late last year.
"Berdych is in great form. He is serving brilliantly and is very strong from the baseline."
Australia make their return to the World Group after a seven-year absence, against France on the indoor clay courts of La Roche sur Yon.
The Aussies last won the title in 2003 - in 2001 they fell at the final hurdle to France in Nice.
Veteran Lleyton Hewitt is thrilled Pat Rafter's team, winners of the trophy 28 times, are back in the Davis Cup mix.
"It's fantastic," said the 32-year-old who made his competition debut in 1999, just three years after teammate Thanasi Kokkinakis was born.
"For me it's about leading by example on court more than anything, using my experience I've been able to have playing so many years and so many big ties for Australia."
France will start favourites with two of their team top 10
players in Richard Gasquet and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
On the red outdoor clay at San Diego's Petco Park, Great Britain's world number six Andy Murray leads his team into battle against the United States in a rerun of the first ever Davis Cup tie at Boston's Longwood Cricket club in 1900.
Great Britain captain Leon Smith said last week: "We're relishing the opportunity to compete in the world group once again, and I'm delighted that Andy is able to play in the tie."
American number two Sam Querrey is taking heart from his victory over Murray at the ATP final in Los Angeles in 2010.
"At least I've beaten him one time, so that gives me a little belief that I can do it again," he commented.
In other ties, Belgium face Kazakhstan in Astana, and Canada take on Japan - seeking a first ever World Group win - in Tokyo, with Kei Nishikori forecasting "a tough match even if we play at home". – Sapa-AFP

sensitivity or redness
Sort by:
overviewback to top
Frustrating flare-ups and redness signal inflammation and a damaged barrier layer. New scientific research has unearthed a new trigger behind sensitized skin, as well as powerful ingredients for recovery and relief.
Millions of people perceive their skin as sensitive. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that 50% of the United States population experience some form of sensitive skin. Globally, it is of increasing concern, especially among women. In Europe, the United States and Japan, the prevalence of sensitive skin is about 50% in women and 30% in men, with younger adults reporting more sensitivity than older adults.
A true sensitive skin condition is caused by a genetic predisposition. Someone who is truly sensitive is born with this condition and tends to be prone to blushing, asthma and allergies. This skin is considered more delicate with less melanin or pigment, a thin epidermis and blood vessels close to the skin surface, hence the obvious appearance of redness. Sensitive skin is often the result of a defect in the skin's protective outer layer – known as the epidermal lipid barrier layer – allowing irritants, microbes and allergens to penetrate the skin and cause adverse reactions. A disturbed epidermal lipid barrier is an important component in several inflammatory skin diseases such as rosacea, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema.
Rather than a result of genetics, sensitized skin is a reflection of your environment, lifestyle and physiology. Pollution, stress, hormonal fluctuations, smoking, alcohol, poor diet, medical procedures and even over-processed or over-exfoliated skin can all lead to sensitization. Cosmetic ingredients including alcohol, lanolin, fragrance and D&C colorants can also lead to sensitized skin. While those with fair skin (usually of Northern European ancestry) traditionally experience sensitive skin, sensitized skin can be triggered in any person regardless of racial background or skin color. Approximately 36% of the population in China has declared themselves to have sensitive skin, a condition that may in fact be attributed to the high level of pollution in both rural and urban parts of this region.
The common link behind irritation, flushing and stinging is inflammation. Paired with the loss of skin's protective barrier, skin health is compromised and becomes highly reactive.

Immunogenic Inflammation
Triggered by the immune system, skin inflammation is caused by a foreign substance such as pollen or artificial fragrances.
Neurogenic Inflammation
Triggered by the nervous system, sensitized or inflamed skin may be the result of the environment, chemicals or physical and emotional stress. (Figure 1.)
Both immunogenic and neurogenic inflammation can yield the same redness, itching and swelling that result when the body is injured or irritated. In the end, it is the combination of genetic susceptibility, immune disruption, nerve activity and epidermal barrier function that contributes to skin sensitivity and inflammation.
Loss of Protective Barrier
Excess exfoliation, exposure to soap and water, even psychological stress can compromise the skin's protective barrier, lowering tolerance against potential stressors resulting in sensitization and irritation. (Figure 2.)

"Interval International's Information Technology Dept is very mature."
- Work/Life Balance
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
I worked at Interval International full-time (More than 10 years)
As a developer at interval you have exposure to most of the new java technology stack and frameworks from Java Spring Framework to working on Grails... Its a full enterprise stack w backend legacy connectivity w also a new backend ORM solution w middle tier web services as well as a frontend MVC with all the tech buzzwords in java you can think of. Its a great place to work whereas you may get remote capabilities, many vacation days off, resort benefits and more... It may be a place where you get complacent and comfortable eventually... So try to keep on top of your game and you will do fine.
Sometimes management forgets to promote, reward, show value, motivate, help grow and recognize those loyal to the business... They dont mean to, but it happens as they have many things to attend to due to the company being a publicly traded company.
Advice to Management
Remember to cherish what you have and make a growth plan for those that embrace the company. As you once were at the beginning, help those achieve success to the top.
- Excellent Vacation Paid Time Off Benefits
- Free Resort Stays Benefits
- 401k % Match
- Remote Work Exceptions
- Great Colleagues
- Embrace New Technology
- Make sure to negotiate before you work there, raises are very slow.
- You must pay for parking
- Management is not working fast enough to give increases to underpaid resources
- Consultants are given too much power and opportunities (more than perm employees)
Advice to Management
- Need to show better appreciation of employees (you seem to show appreciation only when the employees are on the way out the door. If you appreciate the resource, why not answer expressed concerns before they leave instead of waiting till they leave).
- Training needed more often
- Should offer stock options to all employees. Why not encourage employees to buy shares and have them feel vested?
- Allow technology professionals to be Remote more often. (save on overhead)
Havent been in a while but the benefits are good if you dont mind working for minimum wage. Your given a great pep talk whn your hired.
They have you work awful hours and torment the same people over and over again. Then the commission is never obtainable (I made first payout once, only like $200) and you make all this money for this company and no commission check. Your like a hamster in a wheel. All lies and stories of it's gonna get better and they just hire more people. Horrible experience glad I'm out of there
Advice to Management
Pay more and make commission goals real!!!!

Sauna and the nice big and clean rooms
Sauna and the nice big and clean rooms
Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice, clean and comfortable rooms.
Spacious and layout well planned for evening meals, bar
surprisingly nice hotel and staff very very expensive food however what can you expect from a luxury hotel like this! ;-)
nice breakfast, nice restaurant and bar The rooms are large, but a bit disappointing, with poor decoration and paintwork.
Perfect stay. Very smart and comfortable hotel. Large room very clean. professionnal staff. Would suggest a complimentary tray inside the room with tea/coffee facility.
nice atmosphere, didn't see spa, but is inclusive and just newly opened, nice rooms bathroom could need a little renew - 20 Min ride from Main Station plus bus ride of 10 Min makes it a little less good reachable - in the morning quite noisy because of cleaning staff and door ringing, clapping doors (couldn't sleep in until 9 or 10...)
located in a very guiet and green are, transportation is really easy, rich breakfast, not so luxurois but comfortable and clean, everything one needs in a hotel room, outstanding choice in particular for the week-ends and public holidays
the location of the hotel and the food
The hotel is quiet & the staff are polite & helpful none of the information was available in English
Soundproofing between rooms - not nice hearing others go to the toilet
Accessability No food after 10 pm.
the price and the breakfast no free internet on the room
Location, location, location... I had to stay in Harburg and unfortunately there aren't a lot of choices in the direct area. The interior is outdated and using a shower curtain instead of a glas door is not acceptable. It wraps around your body when showernig. The TV is probably 20 years old and picture quality is terrible. The prrice of 5 Euros for a bottle of water is just ridiculous and makes you wonder why they think they get around with such a rip-off.
I enjoyed staying Panorama Hotel. Good services and location, with excellent availability to train and bus transport network. Nothing I really disliked.
Excellent well maintained hotel in the centre of Harburg. Staff excellent and most helpful. Small reasonably stocked minibar in-room with drinks all reasonably priced. No tea/Coffee facilities in-room
its location and very good breakfast the hotel is perfect for weekends and business trips.It is near to underground station and gives availability to reach any points in Hamburg.
Helpful staff The €14 for breakfast was offered on a take or leave basis. Not a good idea for anyone who just wants a juice, roll and cup of coffee. So I declined. There is no alternative cafe in the vicinity
It was inexpensive and in the middle of Harburg. The breakfast buffet is included, even though the food quality was mediocre at best. The interior, specifically the TV is outdated. It was a probably 20 year old tube which has a terrible picture quality. The paint on the bathroom doors fell off and they still use shower curtains which have a tendency to wrap around your body when warm water flow starts...
location, security, value lacked a fitness center and did not have coffee available in room or lobby other than breakfast room
A peaceful location with great views from rooms and restaurant. My room was clean and comfortable with a good bathroom The hotel is very large and the layout is not clearly recognizable. Therefore, getting to your room can be a bit of an adventure. Too many steps with no lift facilities make it difficult if you have much luggage. The large terraces were not accessible from the rooms on my floor and looked poorly maintained with weeds growing between tiles. The garden areas around the hotel look somewhat neglected.
Large hotel in the wooded, hilly countryside of Hamburg. Great views from the full restaurant during sunset (and to be even better as the owner plans to top some trees blocking the view of Hamburg). Ample free parking. Good place to hold receptions, conferences, etc. Location is great if you want to be in the woods, but not so great for city excursions. The hotel is not near a train station, but the nearest station has free parking. Although the staff were patient with the difficulties, English is not widely spoken. Pool was not open.
It filled my need of a one night stay outside Hamburg. Not really a complaint, but the address given for the hotel took my satnav up a woodland road which is 100 metres before the hotel's entrance
The view and the buffet breakfast. A slightly surreal experience. Know the hotel from when it was smaller - now it's a giant maze catering for conferences. Lighting needs to be better on some stairs. Outside areas need attention - somewhat dilapidated. Staff could be more, how shall I put it, 'proactive'?
We used your accommodation in the evening and explored Hamburg by day No complaints

24m. Despite the name, not very technical but bold in its central section. Climb straight up the slab (harder for the short and unprotected where it matters) until you join the traverse of Pedestal Route. Finish as for Pedestal Route, or more in keeping, out right as for the Neb Finish to Hollybush Crack.
Combined with the 'top pitch'/finish of Hollybush Crack, one of the best pitches of its standard in the country. Wonderful. Maybe HS 4b
Well protected throughout if you've got a good selection of friends. I'd say S 4a with modern gear. And agree with Gordon, the right hand 'Hollybush Crack' finish is far better and more in keeping with the rest of the route. Unprotected though, VS 4b.
A superb solo, one of the best routes on grit.
I reckon it's only 4b for the short. HS 4a is bang on.
Agree with Gordon - you can't get more fun than this without it being illegal !
Had a full rack of friends and couldn't find anything from about 4m to about 10m!! Dunno where you found it Simon! Awesome route though - definitely worth three stars imho!
Agree the Neb Finsih is the best bit, although also considerably harder than the rest of the route and felt very bold. The slab is quite bold but on positive holds so feels ok.
Beware! BrianT and JCT had sex at the top of this!
You can get pro on the bottom bit by clipping two opposed nuts together in the pockets. Maybe 4b for the short

Book of John Lennon Letters Will Contain Hilarious Angry Rants...
Via The Vulture (NY Mag):
This week, with the blessing of Yoko Ono, Little, Brown and Company will publish The John Lennon Letters, a collection of John Lennon's notes to friends, journalists, and the occasional groupie. The correspondence — often handwritten, sometimes featuring doodles — spans Lennon's life and paints him as an enthusiastic, occasionally cranky pen pal. Here are a few of his angriest letters, all written in 1971, a year after the breakup of the Beatles.

New York (Sep. 10)
Thousand of Soviet Jews visited the booth of the Association of Jewish Book Publishers (AJBP) at the week-long third International Moscow Book Fair, Sol Scharfstein, president-elect of the AJBP and president of KTAV Pub-
lishing, said at a press conference here today. Dr. Israel Kugler, president of the Workmen's Circle, told the press conference that there was a "hunger and need" for Jewish books, records and educational materials in Russian, Hebrew and Yiddish. Both Scharfstein and Kugler were delegates to the book fair, which closed Tuesday, where they staffed the AJBP exhibit at which more than 800 titles of Jewish interest were on display.
"We were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response of the Soviet Jews, many of whom traveled ten to twelve hours and stood on line for several hours just to attend the fair and to touch their Jewish heritage," Kugler said. The playing of Hebrew and Yiddish melodies at the booth during the six days of the fair evoked a nostalgia among older Jews and sparked a keen interest among the younger generation.
"For the first time," Scharfstein said, "we have demonstrated to the Soviet publishing authorities the seriousness of our mission and the possibilities for opening up a two-way commercial dialogue. Soviet publishing officials will be visiting the United States in the next few months and have expressed a desire to meet with us."
While the delegation was enthusiastic over the public response to the exhibit and the cooperation of the book fair officials, they were nonetheless disappointed at the practice of censorship. "It is ironic that two books censored this year had been approved for display in the past," Scharfstein said. The two works banned for exhibit by Soviet censors were the American Jewish Yearbook published by the American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Publication Society of America, and the children's book, "My People: Abba Eban's History of the Jews," published by Behrman House.
Kugler said the Workmen's Circle-produced plastic records of Hebrew and Yiddish songs were not allowed by the Soviet authorities to be distributed at the book fair, despite the fact that similar records were approved at the previous fair in 1979. "All in all, it was an experience we shall never forget," said Scharfstein and Kugler, "and we look forward to exhibiting at the 1983 Moscow book fair."

Excellent staff. The day I arrived they had a party with food so we could meet the local guides. I don't think they were employed but were there to improve their English and meet new people. This is an excellent idea! I hope more hostels use this idea! The hostel was getting a little old needing some maintenance. The showers I used on the top floor had a hard time staying hot. Apart from that, this hostel is excellent and ideally placed for anyone visiting the city.

Close to the station (15minute walk) but far from the main downtown (20-25minute walk) Hiroshima. Situated next to the main east-west tramlines so easy access that way. The staff had a local knowledge and had visited most of the nearby eateries and bars within 10mins of the hostel. For major tourist spots they even had little route cards to tell you what transport to get and where! The hostel was very busy whilst I was there and could meet and talk with many of the guests in the common area.

Protest at Chase Bank: JP Morgan/Chase Greases the Wheels for British Petroleum
Members of organizations including A New Way Forward demonstrated in front of a Chase Bank branch in Palo Alto, California on June 26. JP Morgan Chase got $25 billion in government bailout money and they grease the wheels for British Petroleum (BP).
Chase is the chief depository bank for BP, which means that Chase essentially handles all the stock services and payouts for BP. Chase holds 27.74% of total ordinary issued shared capital.

Inside Adam Levine's Private Life
From a girlfriendless summer at performing-arts camp to dating models as a rock star, 'The Voice' co-coach fills in the gaps
Adam Levine, the handsome Maroon 5 lead singer and co-coach of NBC's surprise hit The Voice, may describe himself as a "mama's boy," but he hasn't always acted in ways a mother would appreciate. The heavily tattooed Levine once deemed his early days on the road his "manwhore" period, and in 2006 he allegedly broke up with a newly divorced Jessica Simpson via text message. Now on tour supporting the band's third album, Hands All Over—featuring the inescapable disco-pop single "Moves Like Jagger"—Levine is on his best behavior, and with good reason: The woman waiting for him at home is Victoria's Secret model Anne Vyalitsyna, his leggy Russian girlfriend of two years who's graced Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Edition for seven years running. As Levine, 32, prepares for the second season of The Voice, he opens up about his penchant for dating models ("such a cliché," he admits) and his real-life Slavic Meet the Parents moment. Nyet!
ELLE: As a kid, you spent summers at musical theater camp. Regarding girls, for a straight man like yourself, I imagine this was like shooting fish in a barrel.
ADAM LEVINE: The term theater camp is frowned upon.
ELLE: My apologies. Why?
AL: We called it performing-arts camp. The sad part was that the really cute girls hung out with the theater kids. They wouldn't come near the musicians. They were scared of us.
ELLE: I had my first kiss at camp. You too?
AL: Yeah. Her name was Katie. I was 11. She asked me to take a walk after dinner. We walked 10 feet west of the cafeteria, which felt like forever. She went in for the kiss. I was freaked out and amazed. Then it got weird, once I got comfortable and started experimenting.
ELLE: Experimenting how?
AL: In ways we won't discuss.
ELLE: One of your first gigs was for a kid's birthday party. Is it true you became a rock star because those girls were throwing themselves at you?
AL: That isn't why we started playing music. That might be why we continued playing. Music was a way of rebelling against the whole rah-rah high school thing.
ELLE: Could you fall in love with a woman who didn't like your music?
AL: Probably not. It's like saying, "Could you fall in love with someone who didn't like you?" I'm not trying to date a fan. But appreciating what I do is important.
ELLE: There's a lot of sexual chemistry between you and Christina Aguilera on The Voice. Has anything untoward ever happened between you two?
AL: No. No. We're all good. There's never been anything other than friendship.
ELLE: In the past, you've been linked to Cameron Diaz and Natalie Portman. Is it easier to date a model than an actress?
AL: I couldn't tell you. It seems like such a cliché—the singer dating a model. I don't date my girlfriend because she's a model. I date her because I love her.
MORE: The hippest, hottest, and weirdest rock star-model couples
ELLE: But there must be some pressure in dating a Victoria's Secret model.
AL: Initially you think, A Victoria's Secret model! Holy shit! Then that goes away and you're left with the person. All the bullshit, all the professional stuff—whatever the allure of this whole world, it starts to go away pretty quickly.
ELLE: Your girlfriend is Russian. Has there been a language barrier?
AL: No. A little bit with her parents, though. The tattoos were a concern—her mom didn't love them. They're culturally accepted here, but it's different in Russia.
ELLE: You once said you were married to your band. Do you still feel that way?
AL: Yeah, I do.
ELLE: Will that keep you from actually getting married?
AL: There are many things that keep me from getting married. But there will be a time when marriage makes sense to me.
ELLE: When you're not traveling so often?
AL: I have a very all-over-the-place lifestyle. The people I know who are married—90 percent of them have houses and live in the same place and sleep in the same bed every night.
ELLE: I thought you were going to say that 90 percent of them cheat.
AL: That's not true, believe it or not. The most important thing about marriage is understanding that it might not be the right time, regardless of what your friends are doing. Peer pressure is a motherfucker. Peer pressure plays a huge role in people's desire to get married.
ELLE: You don't want to be left behind.
AL: Exactly.
ELLE: Who is the sexiest woman in music history?
AL: Me and my buddies always talk about the first time we saw the video for [Warrant's] "Cherry Pie," when we were 11.
ELLE: Yes, Bobbie Brown—that's her name.
AL: That was like a crash course. It was like, "Hey, kids, this is sex. Here you go."
ELLE: So what are the "moves like Jagger," anyway?
AL: I don't know. The best thing about Mick Jagger is how uncalculating he is. He does what he wants to do and it feels right. He's not a dancer—neither am I. You can be referring to some natural way of being comfortable in your skin.
ELLE: Have you always been comfortable in your own skin?
AL: No. Not to say that I'm totally comfortable with it now. I mean, I'm comfortable enough.
ELLE: Dude, come on. You're shirtless all the time. Like in that video for "Never Gonna Leave This Bed," which you shot on Hollywood Boulevard on a bed with your actual girlfriend.
AL: It's not me wanting to show off. The content of a lot of our songs is sexual—naturally the visual would be representative of that. And I like that twisted life-imitating-art thing.

Victoria's Planning Minister
Mr Guy proposes to simplify and deregulate planning zones to drive competition and investment in the flagging retail sector.
But the plan has already divided two of the biggest players in the sector, the shopping centres owners and the bulky goods operators, which occupy mostly outer suburban homemaker centres.
Under the proposed zoning changes, supermarkets and smaller retail outlets will be allowed to hang their shingles in the large suburban homemaker centres, increasing foot traffic and retail activity.
Previously that type of retailing was restricted to the large shopping precincts, based in suburban activity centres, which are controlled by some of the largest listed and unlisted players in Australia, including
The proposed reforms would also allow supermarkets and shops to move into one of the categories of land now zoned industrial.
Bulky goods operators – retailers of whitegoods, furniture and home entertainment – have embraced the proposed reforms with enthusiasm.
Executive director of the Bulky Goods Retailers Association
"The implementation of these zoning reforms would introduce to the bulky goods precincts in Victoria a more dynamic and more interesting mix," she said.
Ms Kelly acknowledged the increased competition could potentially push up rents and land costs in some areas.
But that would be offset by expected increases in turnover among bulky goods operators, who would benefit from increased foot traffic in their centres.
"Would it be a cost worth paying? Yes," Ms Kelly said.
Mr Guy is expected to hand down his response to an expert report into the reforms within weeks.
He has already made significant changes to residential zoning and is confident the next raft of reforms will be the envy of other states.
"What we need to do in this state is create greater competition, to make sure we are freeing up our planning and our business structures in a time when the economy needs a level of regulatory reform," Mr Guy told The Australian Financial Review.
But in its submission on the proposals, the Shopping Centre Council of Australia warned the reforms may have the opposite effect, with leading property trusts directing future investment to other states.
Council members already have plans to spend $4.5 billion on shopping centre developments in Victoria, said SCCA deputy executive
"Investment certainty is definitely a headline issue," he said.
Federation Centres chief
"We have the ability to invest judiciously in properties across the country. We will invest most where we are confident of the planning outcomes and the preservation of the value of our investments," he said.
Property economist Justin Ganly said concerns over the impact of the reforms were over-stated. "The changes could result in something in the order of 20 new supermarkets in Victoria over the next decade," he said.

Mr Cosby, 29, from Woodland Way, was pronounced dead by ambulance crews after the police were called to Ridgeway Close at 5.35am on Saturday for a report of a concern for welfare.
Flowers, cards and tributes have appeared at the scene, with one note reading: "I love you and I will miss you always. I'm so sorry you've left us."
Another says: "We will miss you so much. You had so much life still to live. You will always be in our thoughts."
Police say the death is unexplained and are investigating the circumstances, but it is not currently being treated as suspicious.
An inquest into Mr Cosby's death was opened and adjourned by the Buckinghamshire Coroner this afternoon, during which his details were confirmed.
The inquest is scheduled to resume on October 16.
