This could be interesting. Reports suggest that Gwyneth Paltrow and Vanity Fair are at odds, and she is telling everyone she knows not to talk to the magazine.
The New York Times reported on Sunday, that Platrow, who is not making many friends lately, with her odd behavior, has a feud with the iconic fashion magazine.
What is exactly her problem with one of the most popular celebrity magazines in the world?
According to reports, the 40-year-old actress has a problem with some of Vanity Fair's recent reporting on incidents such as Brad Pitt's difficulties in making his latest movie World War Z and Tom Cruise's issues with the Church of Scientology.
The actress accuses the magazine of threatening to put her on their cover. So why is that a bad thing? Isn't the celebrity world all about being seen?
The New York Times obtained an email in which Gwyneth Paltrow allegedly asks her pals not to talk to Vanity Fair:
"Vanity Fair is threatening to put me on the cover of their magazine. If you are asked for quotes or comments, please decline. Also, I recommend you all never do this magazine again."
The quote was reported by someone who saw the email, according to The Times, and was allegedly sent to Paltrow's friends in May.
For many years, Vanity Fair has been the magazine that people read when they wanted to look at the glossy pictures of their favorite celebrity wearing their fanciest outfits.
Now, it is coming under attack for doing it's job, according to the magazine's editor Graydon Carter,
"We wouldn't be doing our job if there wasn't a little bit of tension between Vanity Fair and its subjects. In any given week, I can expect to hear from a disgruntled subject in Hollywood, Washington, or on Wall Street. That's the nature of the beast."
This is, almost certainly, not the end of the story about the feud between Gwyneth Paltrow and Vanity Fair. Stay tuned.

Derrick Rose has yet to participate in five-on-five scrimmages during Chicago Bulls practices, according to Tom Thibodeau.
"We haven't in practice, we haven't done anything full-court,'' Thibodeau said. "We're more half-court right now. We have an early group that comes in and we get some work done there, so we feel like we have enough to get the things done that we want to get done, so he's doing fine.''
By all accounts, Rose has looked sharp in workouts.
Rose remains on track to return to the Bulls after the All-Star break.

Warsaw (Jul. 12)
Reports from Lodz and Wroclaw reaching here today say that at least 20 Jews have been killed in recent days as they were attempting to escape from Poland into Germany.
The Jews were dragged from trains and cars between Lodz and Wroclaw by armed anti-government bandits and shot, the reports said. The victims were part of the mass emigration of Jews which has been proceeding steadily in the last few months and which was heightened by the pogrom at Kielce last week, where 41 Jews were killed.
Today several members of the Polish National Council called on August Cardinal Hlond, who yesterday issued a statement in which he said that the anti-Semitic outbreaks in Poland were "to a great degree due to Jews who occupy the leading positions in Poland's government and endeavor to introduce a governmental structure that a majority of the people do not desire.
"In the fatal battle of weapons on the fighting political front in Poland it is to be regretted that some Jews lose their lives but a disproportionately larger number of Poles lose their lives," the Cardinal added.

Workers from three negotiating units voted down the proposed deal by margins of 71 per cent, 88 per cent and 98 per cent.
They were following the advice of their union's executive committees, all of which recommended that members refuse the offer.
The sides in the dispute haven't been able to agree on conditions related to subcontracted labour.

President asks Cypriots to bale out the banks
The President of Cyprus has urged his constituents to help bale out the banks by supporting a tax of up to ten percent on money held in savings accounts.
Source: Lateline | Duration: 3min 21sec
Topics: government-and-politics, human-interest, law-crime-and-justice, cyprus
EMMA ALBERICI, PRESENTER: Stocks have fallen on markets around Europe as Cyprus debates whether to accept an unusual bailout package. The Cypriot Parliament is due to vote overnight on a deal that would see the country receive $13 billion from the EU and the IMF. But it comes with a catch. Cypriot investors could have to pay up to 10 per cent of their savings, which would be confiscated by the Government. Europe correspondent Mary Gearin reports.
MARY GEARIN, REPORTER: It's a public holiday in Cyprus, which means the banks are closed, and it's probably just as well. There's already been a run on ATMs, with people forming large queues to withdraw as much as they can. Many cash machines around Cyprus are empty and bank customers are anxious.
VOX POP: On Tuesday I plan to go to the bank and withdraw all the money I have in there and have nothing left in there. You know, I can't trust 'em anymore. It's theft. They're stealing from me.
MARY GEARIN: That sentiment has prompted authorities to declare Tuesday a Bank Holiday as well.
Cypriots are angry over the terms of the bailout deal which will see Cyprus receive $13 billion from the EU and the IMF in exchange for a one-off tax on people's savings. People with less than $125,000 in savings will have to pay a levy of 6.75 per cent. Those with more will have to pay 9.9 per cent. The Cypriot President says the move is necessary for a country in a state of emergency.
NICOS ANASTASIADES, CYPRIOT PRESIDENT (voiceover translation): This solution is certainly not the one we would've wanted, but it is the least painful under the circumstances because above all, it leaves the operation of this country in our hands.
MARY GEARIN: The President says he's still trying to renegotiate the deal, hoping to reduce the levy on those with smaller savings. He's also offering people some form of compensation.
NICOS ANASTASIADES (voiceover translation): The state recognises its obligations and will offer to those who will keep their deposits for two years the worth of their loss in bonds tied to future state income from natural gas.
MARY GEARIN: But that's done little to quell the public outcry against the package.
VOX POP II: Tomorrow and after tomorrow there will be a lot of demonstrations in this country and they don't have the right to take the money from the pocket of the people.
VOX POP III: Some people have worked for 20 years, for 30 years and they have saved their money for their kids for the future. They just come and take it like that. Who gives them the right?
VOX POP IV: If we don't accept the tax, that everyone will lose their jobs and there will be a collapse.
MARY GEARIN: There's also concern about the deal in Russia, which has billions of dollars invested in the tax haven. Russian President Vladimir Putin has described the planned levy as unfair, unprofessional and dangerous.
NIKOLAI PETROV, ECONOMIC ANALYST (voiceover translation): The EU's conditions are raising taxes on bank deposits and it's understandable that this will more or less painfully hit Russian depositors, many of whom had a pretty big and serious lobbying resource in the Russian Government.
MARY GEARIN: While the IMF insists the tax on savings is a one-off, there are fears it could spook investors in other highly indebted eurozone countries such as Greece and Spain. The Cypriot Parliament is scheduled to vote on the bailout plan overnight.

The Container Store credits its "employees-first" culture as integral to its success, believing that if you make employees your highest priority, they in turn will take better care of customers. It's a business model that extends to all facets of the chain's operations — including the decision to deploy a voice-directed warehouse picking system.
"As a company, the first thing we consider in anything we do is: How is this going to help our employees?" said Christy Parra, logistics systems director, The Container Store, Coppell, Texas. "It's very important that any new technology we install be something that is going to make life better for our employees, in addition to the company, our stores and customers."
After reviewing voice-directed warehouse applications, the chain decided to deploy Jennifer VoicePlus, from Lucas Systems, Pittsburgh. The tool, in essence, creates a conversation with warehouse workers that frees their hands and eyes to focus on the job at hand.
"Our distribution center employees had a big part in selecting our voice system," Parra said. "We had to make sure it was right for them."
Parra said employees preferred Jennifer's human voice and voice-enabled help functions.
"We also liked the ability to tailor what the user hears, not just for ease of use and efficiency, but also to keep things fun and interesting," she said.
The application integrates with The Container Store's warehouse management system and supports order picking in the 1.1 million-sq.-ft. center for direct-to-consumer fulfillment and store replenishment. It includes the flexibility to use speech recognition and bar code scanning interchangeably using a standard multi-modal mobile computer.
Also, Jennifer gives distribution center supervisors increased visibility into real-time operational information and the tools they need to effectively manage their work.
Parra emphasized that for The Container Store, voice picking is about more than efficiency.
"For us, it's not just about being faster," she said. "It's about safety and making things better for our employees."
Parra said that the new system makes picking easier and also more consistent compared with the RF-bar scanning system that The Container Store used previously.
"With Jennifer, you just have to follow directions," she said, "as opposed to reinventing the wheel on an RF device. Also, the RF bar code-scanning device is big and a little clunky to hold. Voice picking frees up both hands, which is a big plus."
Prior to deployment, the retailer conducted training sessions for every employee who would touch the system.
The training was less about the actual operation of Jennifer — the system is easy to use — and more about getting employees comfortable with the new technology.
"Change can make people feel nervous," Parra said. "We wanted to make sure everyone felt comfortable the day we went live, so we did a lot of training and let people practice on the system."
The retailer also assured employees that they were not going to be "automated out of a job" by the new technology.
"We try to be as transparent as possible and make sure everyone knows the end goal," Parra said. "So we held a meeting for everyone in the distribution center and made it clear at the outset that [the voice-picking system] wasn't about cutting anyone. Instead, it was about helping employees be safer and do their jobs better and allowing us, as a company, to stay ahead of our growth, keep pace with technology and be continuously evolving."
The actual deployment went very smoothly and only took two to three days.
Since going live with voice picking last fall, The Container Store has seen steady increases in picking productivity, and a sharp reduction in employee training time.
"Our employees think it's much faster, and it is," Parra added. "We can pick 10 to 12 times faster than before. Employees also like that they don't have to ask someone what to do next. We deploy the work and Jennifer takes them through the day in a very fluid manner."

Bidwill cites Cards' 'course,' names candidates
TEMPE, Ariz. — The list — best categorized, for the moment, as "early" rather than "short" — includes a well-known victim of Monday's "Black Monday" purge.
That marquee candidate is Andy Reid, recently relieved from his head-coaching duties with the Philadelphia Eagles and a name offered during a press conference presided over by Arizona Cardinals president Michael Bidwill.
During an official gathering to explain the firings of Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves, Bidwill limited his offering of potential replacement names to four.
Those included Reid, Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton and Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy as candidates to replace Whisenhunt. Steve Keim, the current Cardinals director of player personnel, is expected to be interviewed to replace Graves.
And according to Bidwill, there is no chronological protocol for the two hirings.
"I don't want to pass up an opportunity for a good fit just to follow an order," he said, meaning that if the best head-coaching candidate comes along and accepts the job first, the subsequent GM hire will have to live with it.
Although Reid, who steered the Eagles to five NFC championship games and one Super Bowl, is the biggest name to officially surface, Horton will get the first interview, Bidwill said.
According to national reports, Horton is a candidate to be interviewed for several NFL head-coaching jobs. Although he's popular with Arizona's cast of talented defensive players, Bidwill said he's not limiting his hiring options by favoring candidates oriented toward defense or offense.
As for the coach the Cardinals' eventual hire will be replacing, Bidwill — taking a straightforward approach — said firing Whisenhunt was an exercise in simple scoreboard math.
"It came down to wins and losses," said the president of a team that's posted a record of 18-30 over the past three seasons. "It's a decision I made over the last several weeks and that I finalized last night."
Whisenhunt and the Cardinals lost to the 49ers in San Francisco on Sunday night, dropping to 5-11 in a season they began 4-0.
Bidwill also said Whisenhunt was not given the option of being stripped of some personnel-related clout in order to keep his job.
In discussing his firing of the only coach to lead the Cardinals to a Super Bowl appearance, Bidwill mentioned the "dramatic improvements" made by other NFC West teams and the relative waste of a talented, aggressive defense presided over by Horton.
"The last two (years), our defense has performed at a very high level," Bidwill said, "while our offense seemed to struggle."
Ranking last in the league — anchored by the NFL's lowest quarterback rating — turns that seeming into believing.
"I just didn't feel like, where things stood, the course we were on was the way we should be going," Bidwill said.
Whisenhunt, whose tactical calling card was offense when he was hired by the Cardinals after a run as offensive coordinator with the Steelers, was unable to land a quarterback to approach the level of productivity bestowed upon the organization by Kurt Warner, who retired one season removed from pitching Arizona to the Super Bowl.
Since Warner's departure, the Cardinals have been bouncing through a revolving door of quarterbacks with little experience and/or skill working behind less-than-stellar offensive lines.
But during Monday's press conference, Bidwill pointed out that this positional problem goes beyond talent identification.
"It's not just finding, but developing, quarterbacks," he said.
Whisenhunt and Graves thought the remedy would be Kevin Kolb, who was dealt to the Cardinals — by Reid and the Eagles — before last season. Kolb's time here has been muted by injury; after sustaining a rib injury in Week 6, he never returned, and the offensively challenged Cards managed just one more victory the rest of the way.
"That's a question that needs to be answered," Bidwill said of Kolb, who would cost about $10 million next season if allow to remain under his current contract, "but I'm not ready to give up on Kevin Kolb yet."
Before launching his bottom-line explanation for firing Whisenhunt and Graves, Bidwill stressed the difficulty in parting company with two men whose impact on the franchise was considerable.
"They helped us get to the point where we really stabilized the franchise," he said.
Whisenhunt, 50, leaves with a record of 45-51 and $5.5 million left on his contract, which had one year remaining. Graves, a 16-year employee of the franchise, had been the general manager since 2007.
But in a results-driven league, such decisions are part of doing business.
"It's a lot more fun to be winning football games and having excitement around here and a winning organization," Bidwill said. "I want to get back to that."

Demanding full-time jobs, often coupled with hectic family responsibilities, prevent many IT professionals from pursuing the continuing education and professional development programs they need to remain relevant in the mercurial IT industry and competitive job market. But IT professionals who don't make time to take classes, study on their own, earn certifications, or pursue advanced degrees risk becoming obsolete.
"If you want to advance in your career and do well professionally, education is second to none," says John Hally, a senior network/security engineer with EBSCO Publishing, a provider of research databases and ebooks for libraries, medical and government institutions. Hally, 42, has been taking classes on information security for 12 years. He's currently pursuing a Master's degree in security engineering from the SANS Technology Institute, a for-profit educational institution offering advanced degrees is security management and engineering.
"It's an investment in yourself," adds Hally, who's worked for EBSCO for 19 years. "I'd rather invest in myself than drop that money into a mutual fund -- especially with the way the economy has been the last six years."

Galax's newly-renovated and resurfaced football stadium is on time, on budget and ready to go for tomorrow's scrimmage with Mount Airy. While the school obviously doesn't plan any cow-patty bingo fundrasiers, a good chunk of the cost could have been offset simply by putting a toll booth on Long Street.

Maxsession table functionality explained
Technote (FAQ)
What is the maxsession table used for in Maximo Base Services?
The MAXSESSION table is used to track connected servers and users.
The column ISSYSTEM will have a 1 if it is an instance of a server (JVM) that is connected and will have a 0 if it is a user that is connected.
The system instances are used in caching and assigning instance variables from the system application.
The users are cleared when they log out or their session times out.
There are 3 main queries (1 insert and 2 updates) that often happen during login and log out as follows:
1. This insert is run each time a JVM session is created.
Once at application server startup for the application server's session, once each time a user logs in.
Insert into maxsession (userid,clienthost,issystem,active,servertimestamp,maxsessionuid,clientaddr,adminlogout,logindatetime,displayname,serverhost,servername) values(:1,:2,:3,:4,:5,:6,:7,:8,:9,:10,:11,:12)
2. This is run once every 60 seconds by each application server running Maximo.
It updates the servertimestamp value to the current timestamp.
This value is used to indicate when a server has crashed/failed (servertimestamp is more than 60 seconds ago) and is used by the ConfigDB to determine if all the servers are shutdown (all servertimestamps must be more than 60 seconds ago).
update maxsession set servertimestamp = :1 where serverhost = :2 and servername = :3 and issystem = :4
3. This is run when a session has become inactive.
update maxsession set lastactivity=:1 where maxsessionuid=:2 and rowstamp=:3

III Corps and Fort Hood's Equal Employment Opportunity Office employees held an Assistive Technology Fair at the III Corps Headquarters on Oct. 19.
The fair, held during National Disability Awareness Month, was designed to showcase the different technologies and resources available for individuals with disabilities in the workforce.
"This event was held to educate the public, and people with disabilities, about what is available, including services and technology," said Harry Wilson, management assistant to the assistant Chief of Staff, Resource Management and Cost Analysis Division at III Corps Headquarters. "This is a nice program to have, so people can become aware of what's out there."
Wilson, a disabled employee himself, said there were a couple of products in particular he was looking forward to seeing.
"The Echo, it takes notes for you," Wilson said. "It transfers them to a script for you, and also to your computer. They also have some special keyboards that are nice for helping with the work environment."
The fair also brought awareness to mental disabilities as well, said Kevin Brown, occupational therapy assistant, Warrior Transition Brigade.
"We're here today to display the stuff we offer the wounded warriors coming back from combat," Brown said. "We have some technology to help them in their recovery from injuries such as post-traumatic stress disorder and stress-related anxiety."
One of the technological devices offered to the wounded soldiers is an iPod Touch. Apple's device offers many services to service members, Brown said.
"We give these to the soldiers to help them with memory, remembering their appointments, setting agendas and keeping track of finances," Brown said. "We also have apps they can download to help them with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and traumatic brain injury."
The iPods are offered through the Computer/Electronic Accommodations Program, which is just one of the tools used to better the lives of disabled workers. By informing soldiers of the programs available, Brown is happy to give wounded warriors opportunities he never had.
"I'm still a soldier, I just don't wear the uniform anymore," said Brown, an Army veteran. "It feels good to be able to help out the guys."

Faith communities across the nation are relying on marches, books and multistate radio ad campaigns to launch bigger and bolder efforts to push for comprehensive immigration legislation this year.
"Our nation can no longer wait," reads an e-postcard for members of Congress posted on the Justice for Immigrants website — the Catholic campaign for immigration overhaul.
Religious groups have been involved in the immigration debate for years, but they've become more united and creative in the effort.
Last summer, the Evangelical Immigration Table launched a $400,000 multistate ad campaign "encouraging prayer and action on common-sense reform" in key congressional districts.
Catholic dioceses across the country sponsored Mass for Immigration Reform services.
A group of nuns rode a bus cross-country holding events on a "journey for justice."
"Far more conservative groups are getting on board, which in terms evangelical activism, it's pretty important," said Ruth Melkonian-Hoover, political science department chair at Gordon College who has written about evangelicals and the immigration issue.
The support from the faith groups could be crucial to the immigration debate, she said. It could give lawmakers on the fence the support they need.
In Arizona, the issue has been important to religious leaders for a long time, said Bishop Gerald Kicanas of the Tucson Diocese, and efforts will continue until something is done.
"Arizona's religious, civic and business leaders and its people need to make their voices heard," Kicanas said. Local events are being planned for November.
Tucson was home to the Sanctuary Movement of the 1980s and still has active faith-based groups that provide humanitarian aid to migrants in the desert.
"The faith community has been an essential support and a vital part of every immigrant group in history, and that hasn't changed at all," said John Fife, a retired Presbyterian pastor here and human-rights activist.
What's unique this time, he said, is that the leadership of virtually every faith community has united in supporting comprehensive immigration legislation that includes a path to legal status to the more than 11 million estimated to be in the country illegally.
Fife co-founded the Sanctuary Movement, in which volunteers aided Guatemalan and Salvadoran refugees fleeing their war-torn countries. The movement spread to more than 500 churches nationwide.
Even though the wars are over, continuing socioeconomic problems, natural disasters and violence continue to push Central Americans north.
Border Patrol apprehensions of non-Mexicans are rising, especially in the Southwest, and more than 90 percent come from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
"If people don't have a permanent place to live nor hope, they will look to the other side," said Armando Guerra, Episcopal bishop of Guatemala.
Guerra visited Arizona this week to learn about border conditions and to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Episcopal Church of St. Michael and All Angels. The church also celebrated 20 years of the Guatemala Project, an informal partnership with Mayan people in rural Guatemala that supports health workers and delivers medical supplies.
During his trip, Guerra walked parts of a migrant trail near Arivaca with Fife, spotting old backpacks and clothes left behind by the migrants.
"I felt an extreme sadness," Guerra said. "You could feel the tears of the men, women and children."
He wants to go back to Guatemala and better communicate the conditions of the border to those thinking of coming, he said.
But once people make up their minds, he said, it's very hard to convince them otherwise.
Part of the solution is immigration legislation that allows people to come and work temporarily and provides a path for those who want to stay permanently, he said.
But there's also a great need to address the root causes of migration by providing more jobs and education opportunities in their home countries so they don't have to leave in the first place, which is one of the principles promoted by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
As they go forward, the biggest challenge for religious groups pushing for immigration overhaul is overcoming the political rhetoric that defines migrants as criminals, illegals and as a threat, Fife said.
"But when bishop (Guerra) comes and describes the people from his church that are migrating as the poor, as families trying to reunite, as people who are poor and desperate and in many cases hungry trying to care for their children, that's a very different description and makes a great deal of difference."
And seeing it as a moral issue is at the core of many of the campaigns.

Foy suspended from team; Eskridge, Raymon, Robinson out with injuries
Syracuse offensive guard Ivan Foy was suspended from the team due to an academic issue. He will not participate in spring football.
Free safety Durell Eskridge, linebacker Luke Arciniega, guard Nick Robinson and defensive ends John Raymon and Kennedy Kodua are sidelined to start spring ball due to injury while kicker Ross Krautman and quarterback Mitch Kimble will be limited due to injury.
Eskridge will be held out of contact because of finger and hip injuries, while Raymon is still recovering from the season-ending knee injury he suffered in the Orange's loss to Georgia Tech on Oct. 19. SU head coach Scott Shafer said Tuesday that Raymon has kept his body weight down in the recovery process.
Wide receiver Adrian Flemming and cornerback Julian Whigham, both of whom suffered season-ending injuries last season, will be full participants in spring practice. Defensive end Donnie Simmons and wide receiver Keenan Hale will participate fully as well.

A rollover is a type of vehicle accident, where a vehicle turns over on its side or roof. Such accidents have a tendency to badly injure the occupants of the vehicle, car, bus or truck involved and those around the vehicle. While many auto accidents occur because of human error, many also can be caused or worsened by defective products or inadequate safety mechanisms. Among these problems are vehicles that are prone to rollovers, especially increasingly popular sport utility vehicles, or SUVs. A number of vehicles have also been found to have roofs that cannot withstand rollover accidents, with drivers and passengers injured and killed. People who are injured in rollover accidents may be compensated for their injury, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Bridgewater is a city in Jackson Township, Adair County, Iowa, United States. The population was 178 at the 2000 census. Bridgewater was founded in 1885.

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Dehydration: Drinking Enough Fluids (Babies and Young Children)
When your child is not feeling
well, he or she may not want anything to drink. This may happen if your child
has a fever or diarrhea or is vomiting. It is important that your child drink
enough fluids to avoid dehydration.
Not drinking enough fluid can
cause constipation. When the weather gets hot or when your child is getting
more exercise, he or she needs more to drink.
Use the following
table to determine how many
8 fl oz (240 mL) bottles or
cups of fluid your healthy baby or child needs each day.
6 months
4.0 to 4.5
950 to 1,000
9 months
4.5 to 5.5
1,000 to 1,250
1 year
5.0 to 5.5
1,200 to 1,350
2 years
5.5 to 6.5
1,350 to 1,500
4 years
6.5 to 7.5
1,500 to 1,800
Keep track of how much your child drinks and urinates when
he or she is ill. Remember that children may need to drink more
when they have a fever or diarrhea or are vomiting.

Two former players at the Coleman Vision Tennis Championships face the Williams sisters in the semifinals of the 2017 Australian Open
2016 Coleman Vision Tennis Championships: Singles
2016 Coleman Vision Tennis Championships: Doubles
and Dr. Stephen Coleman
The Pro-Circuit motto, "Catch a Rising Star", truly applies to the Coleman Vision Tennis Championships ("CVTC"). 2016 will be the 19th year that World Class tennis will be played in Albuquerque—again at Tanoan Country Club with a view of the Sandia Mountains.
The 2013 Coleman Vision Tennis Singles Champion, Shelby Rogers, had her best finish in a major during the 2016 French Open. Her Quarterfinal Singles' loss was to the eventual champion, Garbine Muguruza. Going into the tournament, Rogers was ranked 108. Her ranking currently stands at 60.
Taylor Townsend, a Doubles Finalist with Melanie Odin in 2013, played two Main Draw Singles' rounds. Other CVTC alumnae in Doubles and Mixed on the clay at Roland Garos included Naomi Broady, Asia Muhammad, Irina Falconi, Sloane Stephens, and Madison Brengle.
CoCo Vandeweghe, the 2013 Coleman Vision Doubles Winner with Eleni Daniilidou, had a great run in Paris—advancing to the Second Round of Singles and to the Quarterfinals of the Mixed Doubles with partner Bob Bryan. Vandeweghe also has done well on the grass courts of Wimbledon where this year she lost in the fourth round.
Other Coleman players with a good showing at Wimbledon include Sloane Stephens, who had a run into the third round of Singles and Naomi Broady, who also made it to the third round in mixed doubles. Vandeweghe played mixed doubles also, losing in the second round. Over ten former CVTC players were in the first round. CVTC Tournament Director Sue Jollensten said the Wimbledon draw almost looked like a CVTC draw with so many Coleman players in the first round. Many of these players will be representing their home countries at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro where the matches begin August 6th.
Fans can look forward to another great tournament this year. Don't miss a thing! Qualifying Singles matches begin at Tanoan on Sunday, September 18th, with the Singles and Doubles Finals to be played Sunday, September 25th. Tickets can be purchased using the printable ticket forms found on this site. On-line purchasing and details of the event will be available soon on this website.

My husband has type 2 diabetes, which is now being controlled by medicine. I find that he is sometimes particularly irritable or even mean, which is very out of character for him. Is this common with type 2 diabetes, or with high or low readings?
— Sally, Florida
It is great that you are seeking a better understanding of your husband's illness. Diabetes is a disease that not only affects individuals but also those close to them. As a result, those who have good family support in the care of their diabetes do much better in managing their illness.
There are a few reasons for behavioral changes like those you see in your husband among people with diabetes. One is the effect of abnormally low glucose levels in the bloodstream. The other reason is depression, which can be triggered by the diagnosis of diabetes, the burden of daily management, and fear of complications.
Low glucose levels can cause symptoms including impaired judgment, anxiety, moodiness, belligerence, fatigue, apathy, confusion, dizziness, blurred vision, and a lack of coordination. I would advise your husband to check his sugar levels at the times when he is irritable. If his mood is indeed due to low glucose levels, the symptoms will improve if he raises his blood sugar, for example, by drinking orange juice or taking glucose tablets. It is also important to consult with his doctor to adjust his medicines or dietary intake.
On the other hand, your husband's irritability can be a manifestation of depression. Many people with depression are undiagnosed and thus do not receive the necessary counseling and treatment. Also, depression symptoms vary from person to person, which can make it difficult to diagnose. Signs such as lack of sleep, overeating or lack of appetite, poor concentration, and other symptoms help in the diagnosis of depression.
In any case, depressed individuals have difficulty with the demands of daily diabetes care. This turns into a cycle of poor glucose control leading to depression, and depression causing further glucose abnormality.
There are other reasons that can cause behavioral changes like those you describe. Your husband's doctor might shed better light on these possibilities.

Helicopter manufacturers are now selling more of their products to business and private customers in Europe than in any other market segment. Company executives appear to be waking up to the benefits of using rotorcraft, while the increasing number of wealthy individuals employing them in emerging countries is adding demand.The reasons the helicopter is being adopted for business use are not new. As Vittorio Morassi, chairman of the European Helicopter Association and CEO of Italy-based operator Air Corporate, observed, "Helicopters give flexibility, comfort, security and privacy."As an example, he cited the circumstance wherein two industrial groups planning a takeover or merger fly senior management directly to a factory to prevent prying eyes from observing unusual automobile traffic at what may be a sensitive time in negotiations. He also mentioned that, in some areas, helicopters are the only mode of transportation offering suitable speed. This is particularly true in developing countries where road networks often are inferior, he noted, but it also is becoming true in developed countries. "The increasing frequency and size of traffic jams in northern Italy is making helicopters an attractive alternative," Morassi told EBACE Convention News.Another likely reason for the market growth is that medium-sized companies are following a trend initiated by larger firms that already own or use helicopters. He also indicated that companies are flying rotorcraft in a wider range of applications."They now use a helicopter to move specialists and technicians–not only top management–from one facility to another," Morassi said. This is one role in which helicopters complement business jets, and more and more owners now have both types of aircraft in their fleets.So what are customers looking for in business and private helicopters? "Speed comes first for a private customer," said Scott Fitzgerald, Bell Helicopter's executive director for Europe, Middle East and Africa. In his view, the next biggest factor is flexibility in the cabin layout. "A corporate helicopter is no longer used to fly execs only; it can have a utility role as well," Fitzgerald said.Patrice Royer, Eurocopter's director for market development for business aviation, private and commercial segments, does not quite agree. "Customers first set their sights on a cabin environment where they can ensure continuity with their office and business jet interior," he said. Typically, they want to use their laptop, listen to music from their own MP3 player and have phone conversations. In modern rotorcraft, the reduced noise and vibration levels help."Speed is no longer a priority," Royer argued, countering Fitzgerald's statement. The idea is to effectively use the flying time, which averages 20 minutes but can be as long as two hours.The taste for lavish interiors with thick carpets is on the decline. Customers prefer barer, albeit styled, cabins, Royer said. For example, in Eurocopter's Stylence cabins, interior designers left the metal structures of the energy-absorbing seats exposed to enhance the sporty look. Eurocopter marketing people, who have partnered with luxury goods brand Hermès to offer a luxury version of the EC 135 light twin, are now considering extending the partnership to other models.External aesthetics are taken into account, Royer said, acknowledging criticism that Eurocopter has received about its most recent models. "We have listened. Look at our EC 175–it is beautiful," he said.Morassi sees additional criteria that helicopter buyers look for, such as visibility from the cabin and "open space." For instance, private and business EC 135 customers typically opt for no more than four of the six passenger seats that they could have in their cabins. The average passenger load carried is, in fact, close to 1.7.Nevertheless, helicopter buyers do not completely disregard cost. "Buyers ask questions about fuel costs, for example," Morassi noted.According to Royer, Europe accounts for approximately 30 percent of the global business and private helicopter market. Sales figures are skyrocketing, he said, more than doubling from 30 in the region in 2005 to 66 last year.Within this market, the emergence of countries like Russia, Poland and Romania is quite noticeable. In those countries, "companies either had no helicopter or flew old Russian types, which they are replacing," Royer said. Meanwhile, in Western Europe, Ireland and Spain are reaping the fruits of a booming real estate industry.In addition to corporations, growing numbers of high-net-worth individuals order helicopters. Some of them see helicopters as links between their jets and yachts. Others use them for both business and leisure. For example, they might visit a new seaside resort that they are developing and then fly on to their favorite casino. Some of these individuals are pilots who fly the helicopters themselves, while others hire professional crews. "Some newcomers do not have very consistent criteria of choice, so we guide them," Royer said.How does the European market differ from the U.S.? Quantity-wise, the U.S. market still is much bigger. "Seventy percent of these business and private activities take place in the U.S.," Morassi pointed out. There is a qualitative difference, too. Because of more stringent operating rules, single-engine helicopters are far less popular in Europe. "The Bell 429 twin is our response to twin-engine EASA regulation for corporate, EMS and law enforcement operations," Fitzgerald explained, adding that many Europeans are looking for alternatives to replace their five- to seven-year-old models.The continuing turbulence on the world's stock markets is now impacting the helicopter, but not necessarily in terms of declining sales. "The credit crunch has an influence," Fitzgerald said. For instance, some customers who had planned to use a helicopter in a particular region are now asking for it to be delivered to a part of the world where the economy is not slowing. "The industry has gone global, so a company may want to move an asset to where growth is–Asia rather than North America, for instance," he explained.Another influence on the market has been the ongoing imbalance in currency exchange rates. The weak dollar has spurred sales in non-dollar countries, where customers are experiencing strong buying power for aircraft priced in the U.S. currency. "We have done a study and it shows that the price for a Bell 407 has not changed in euros between 2000 and 2008, despite hikes in the dollar price," Fitzgerald said.

Nelson, Navy, Nation: The story of the Royal Navy and the British people, 1688–1815 Free
From bustling dockyards to ferocious sea battles, the gallery brings to life the tumultuous 18th century, exploring how the Royal Navy shaped everyday lives as it became a central part of society and turned sea-faring heroes into national celebrities.
Journeying from the Glorious Revolution of 1688 to the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, Nelson, Navy, Nation brings together over 250 star objects from the Museum's collections, from the sailor's shoes worn to impress on shore leave and love tokens sent to sweethearts, to a fiendish seven-barrelled volley gun and an amputation knife and bullet forceps. Discover what made men join up, how they lived and what kept them in line; and how the Navy loomed large in all areas of the popular imagination, from caricatures to keepsakes and collectables.

BOUTTE - The film industry is flourishing in Louisiana and that means new, interesting and high-paying jobs are opening for St. Charles parishioners and others in "Hollywood South."
"Some jobs pay $20 to $45 an hour," says Malcolm Petal, CEO of New Orleans-based Lift Productions. Lift plans to open the Film Factory, a production company for the editing of movies and related tasks.
He told the Herald-Guide that you dont have to be an actor or actress to be part of the film industry and cash in on the boom.
"Any job from carpenters, make up artists and caterers will be available," says Petal, noting that his companys new Film Factory will provide important services for the industry in southeastern Louisiana.
"The Film Factory will house a comprehensive training facility and also serve as Louisiana's first full distribution site," he says.
"Louisiana has an aggressive lead because we were one of the first states that offered film tax incentives and now we are building an infrastructure with the Film Factory," Petal says.
The Film Factory will open officially in the fall of 2008.
Production companies have flocked here because of the state's generous tax incentive law, which went into effect in 2002.
Hurricane Katrina delayed some productions being shot in and around New Orleans.
"Although the film industry slowed down after Hurricane Katrina, it has picked up since January," according to Alex Schott, executive director of the Governor's Office of Film and Television.
Schott says most of the production being done in state is in New Orleans and Shreveport.
Companies are now looking for places to do post production work in the state, which mainly involves editing and the addition of soundtracks.
"We need to focus on post production facilities in order to separate us from other states," says Schott.
"We are ahead of other states by a good three or four years," Schott adds.
Motion picture production executives say Louisiana ranks among the top with their tax incentive package. Many executives believe we are in direct competition with North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
Currently, movies "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, and "Homeland Security," starring Antonio Banderas and Meg Ryan, are being filmed in the state as well as "Rouge," a television drama.

Sometimes you simply need a scarf to complete your look. By special request, this scarf has been designed to coordinate with the Gracie hat pattern. The pattern begins with a lace edge. Stitches are then picked up for the main body of the scarf featuring a wide cable framed with gooseberry bobbles, worked back and forth to half the desired length. A duplicate half is then knit and the two halves are seamed at the center back. Rhoda, thank you for the inspiration!

Is anyone else having any issues with Campaign Monitor today? We have not been able to receive emails to our Selesti email addresses since yesterday afternoon. And as of approx 1pm (GMT) today we are now not receiving any of the test emails to Hotmail or Gmail either.
Can somebody help? We had approx. 10 email campaigns that needed to go out today, but cannot send out without the tests being approved.
Account Manager
Yes I am having the same problem, a client of ours has just emailed me saying that the test campaigns he sent out earlier today he has not received. Normally he receives them fine. I have also done my own test delivery and like him have not received any emails.
Seems to me that Campaign Monitor email system is not working or there is a huge backlog somewhere?
Can anyone at Campaign Monitor shed any light on this problem for us.
Us three.
Got a test through to hotmail a couple of hours ago but now nothing since.
I am having the same problem - emailed for advice via Help section, but no reply as yet. Maybe that email is not working either?
Cheers for the link Rade - the problems appears bigger than just hotmail/webmail tho' as at this point I am simply trying to send a test email to client who have had no probs with spam before and are not on webmail...
Yes, I'm having the same troubles.
Still ongoing then - some getting through, some not...
Me too. I sent out a small campaign this afternoon. 3 hours later, confirmation not arrived, 20% bounces, half of them about 45 minutes ago – an address of among them as well as several contributors. The other e-mail address of mine in the list hasn't received and hasn't bounced either.
Hey guys,
We are still experiencing issues with the block and will make sure to update the blog post as soon as more information develops.
It is likely to be affecting others since the block is at Spamhaus. Any providers using them will likely see mail get blocked/bounced as well.
As always, if you've had a campaign with a lower than average delivery rate email in to support and we can arrange to have those subscribers credited for.
Thanks, and sorry about all this!
Same here.... I'm not getting any successful test campaigns out at this point. Media Temple is my main test account and I'm not receiving emails at all. Same with gmail and hotmail accounts. Any idea on a time fix guys?
Is there any news on this please?
I have a campaign that should have gone out yesterday but I am unable to test.
Please can you update us urgently? When will I be able to send my campaign?
Thank you.
Hi Becky and Dan,
Our currently active IPs are no longer listed on Spamhaus. That being said, some providers using Spamhaus may not have updated their lists yet.
At this point, it would be safe to send your campaign, and just keep an eye on the bounces. If you do see an unusual number of bounces, email us and we'll give you email credits to resend to the bounced addresses.
From Australia to Zimbabwe, and everywhere in between, companies count on Campaign Monitor for email campaigns that drive real business results.Get started for free

Investors in BankUnited Inc. ( BKU) saw new options become available this week, for the November 22nd expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 242 days until expiration the newly available contracts represent a potential opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the BKU options chain for the new November 22nd contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.The put contract at the $30.00 strike price has a current bid of 5 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $30.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $29.95 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of BKU, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $33.85/share today. Because the $30.00 strike represents an approximate 11% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 77%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 0.17% return on the cash commitment, or 0.25% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.

Congressman Huffman tours Highway 101 at Last Chance Grade
DEL NORTE COUNTY- Congressman Jared Huffman was in Del Norte County taking a tour of Last Chance Grade. It's a two-lane section of Highway 101 South of Crescent City. The road may appear stable, but everyday it's moving closer towards the ocean. The Project Manager for Last Chance Grade, Talitha Hodgson said, "It's been an issue since the road was built, the instability out there." The unstable road conditions are something Community Co-Chair for the Last Chance Grade Committee, Kurt Stremberg, knows all too well. Stremberg added, "In 1972 my parents traveled over that road over the highway and the highway slide into the ocean basically and they went over the cliff and died."
Caltrans wants to make sure that accidents like that don't happen again. Since 1980 the state has invested over $30 million dollars in repairs, and their work is not over yet. Stremberg added, "Someone is going to probably experience the same thing, there is no real time maintenance on that road to tell you when something has gone wrong."
According to a Caltrans geologist since March 2012 to September 2013, the northern part of the highway has moved 11 inches towards the ocean. This problem is what prompted Congressman Huffman to make the trip to Del Norte County. Huffman added, "I think I understand a little better the challenge of trying to maintain a roadway on a hill side that is moving, and that everyone agrees you can't prevent from moving."
The movement of the slide is triggered by rainfall, making the road difficult to stabilize. However, another problem for Caltrans is that Last Chance Grade runs right through the redwoods. Project Manager Hodgson added, "Previous plans we have come with have had impacts to old growth redwoods. We don't want to do that."
Right now the problem is clear, but the solution is uncertain. Hodgson added, "Were going to be working with the different agencies and trying to come up with a good plan that everybody has a chance to have input on."
To determine what's next for Last Chance Grade, Caltrans will continue with its feasibility study.

" Valais, Switzerland. "
Verbier is a very nice ski resort, it's quite a large village so there is a decent selection of bars, restaurants and shops which is certainly nice if you want to take a break from skiing one day. Although I warn you make sure your doing your currency conversions right as it's really not cheap, ok we all know Switzerland is not cheap to start with but comparing prices with sports shops in Geneva and in Verbier I found quite a difference. One other thing that bothered me were the first lifts from the village up the mountain. There were 2 sets of lifts next to one another but each one didn't fit many people so I could see there being queues in peak season. A nice thing about the lifts is that there is another lift right to the bottom of the mountain so if your staying outside the village you can park at the bottom and take a lift up to the village, strongly reommended for anyone without 4 wheel drive. Final point on the lifts passes are expensive. Once up the mountain there are numerous pistes and lifts and I like the fact there were enough pistes with covered lifts to keep me occupied as I really dislike the open air lifts. I also found that the resort staff were very nice and helped you get your ski's off of the cable cars. The restaurants on the pistes are not the greatest quality but you do get good size portions which is what counts when you skiing. As for the skiing, I really enjoyed it, there were some great slopes, with some steep fun parts and then some nice calm parts where the slopes went through the trees where you could take it easy, relax and enjoy your surroundings it was realy like being in a fairy tale. The resort also has a lot of snow making machines although they weren't really needed when I was there as a great deal of snow fell and with the snow came Fog which didn't make for good visability as it also created ice inside my goggles and everyones elses who I was with. The whole area has
fantastic scenery, I would recommend going to Verbier providing your not travelling on a budget.
