Still, investors remain excited about IPOs of social media companies. Facebook, Twitter and social gaming company Zynga Inc. are considered IPO candidates, representing a new generation of tech companies with worldwide reach. Professional networking site LinkedIn made its public debut two weeks ago, with its opening-day closing price giving it a market value of about $9 billion, or 37 times its 2010 revenue.
LinkedIn's successful IPO, frothy or not, might bode well for Groupon.
The current market "is very supportive around any of these social networking deals," said Bill Buhr, an IPO strategist at Morningstar. "People feel (these companies) are the new business models coming from tech, and investors want exposure to them."

Introducing my fave cafe in Korea. (so far). It's called Aa cafe and I've been visiting every year. I go there to drink their americano and listen to my music, reflect and write in my moleskin. I can't tell you how much I enjoy doing this. It's so great to write down my thoughts BY HAND!
I love the interior of this cafe in all it's industrial glory. Just like the website describes, all the pieces in the space tells a story. The pieces were also collected by the owner from all over the world…including the tiles.
I think angelina jolie is super hot
Yea she may be a home wrecker but she's got an aura that no one can duplicate.
She makes a t-shirt look friggin hot!!!!
droool….check out these beautiful cuff links that my ronimal received for standing at my friend danny's wedding. It's a bacarrat ruby crystal cuff link and it's so classy and hawt!
last night i went to my 3rd concert! seeing brooke fraser perform live was awesome and i lost myself in her silky voice. It was totally worth standing for several hours for her. Check out my brooke fraser tshirt isn't it awesome? i contemplated waiting to get her sign it but was too shy :P
The night actually started off with my best friends bday dinner at Real Jerk for some awesome jamaican food. Her husband came and brought gifts for all the girls because he said that was the best gift he could give sarah *tear* how sweet is that? The men that came to the bday dinner were a little stressed because it's a little hard to top. I mean who brings gifts for the guests? This is what he brought for us girls.
i love this shot. not only cause it's a cool crop but because of the old man's knobbly hands. Hands tell so much about a person and personally i love taking note of someone's hands when i shake them…."are these workers hands?" "are these hands with nimble fingers that type away on a keyboard?" "are these hands that are not afraid to get dirty?". I know they're random thoughts but interesting nonetheless. Personally my hands are extremely calloused from rock climbing and have to be extra careful not to ruin peoples silk shirts hahahha.
anyhoo, this is the end of my random post.
you could be a bum but a well fitted suit will make any man look like a million bucks. I never knew shooting weddings would improve my fashion sense but now i can see the difference between a well fitted vs. a badly fitted suit. Recently i picked up the Style Manual by GQ. I looooove men in suits so i drooled over every page. It was really interesting for me to read the difference in collar styles and also about the different elements that make a suit a suit! If you're a man and you wanna learn more about suits then pick an issue this month!
a little peek at some of the questions i get…not to say that ALL my meetings are like this but reveals that a lot of people don't understand what it takes to run a wedding photography business.
hilarious! Please…take it easy on us photographers. A wedding is a big day! one of the most important day of your life! however there are people around you trying to make that day special for you so it wouldn't hurt to be nice ….
it's funny that i just blogged about our escapade shootin with the ipad and i see this on…check it out it's sooo cooool!!!!! so siiiiiick.

With the merger of Meikles Africa, Kingdom Financial Holdings (KFHL), Tanganda
Tea Company (TTC) and Cotton Printers (CP) having been satisfactorily concluded,
the year-end of the Group has changed to 31 December and the published results
reflect the status of the Kingdom Meikles Africa (KMAL) Group at 31 December
2007, being the effective date of the merger. The Group income statement
therefore presents the results for the former Meikles Africa Group while the
balance sheet reflects the position of the merged Group taking into account
shares issued to the shareholders of KFHL, TTC and CP. However for information
purposes an indicative segmental income statement has been presented which
reflects results for 2007 as if the merger had been in place for the twelve
The KMAL Group has significant foreign operations and realises export proceeds
from local operations accounting for the required disclosure which fairly
presents value to all stakeholders. Accordingly funds from operations of
entities that generate foreign currency are translated at a fair investment
rate. This policy is consistent with that applied in the previous year.
The nine month period under review has seen an economy where official inflation,
interest rates and foreign exchange rates have not maintained relative
consistency and therefore reflects anomalies when measuring performance. In
addition, since July 2007, when new pricing mechanisms were introduced, all
businesses have operated under extremely difficult conditions. Supply of stock,
pricing and terms of trade have put pressure on margins and cash generation to
replace stock, when available. Dialogue continues with authorities to promote
pricing mechanisms which will result in sustainability for stakeholders.
Performance of the former Meikles Africa Group has therefore been supported by
foreign operations and the quality of foreign assets, reflecting the strength of
the Group's ability to withstand the volatility of the local environment. Other
sectors of Kingdom Meikles Africa bring to the Group contributions to the
balance sheet that reflect strength from Kingdom Financial Holdings, a solid
infrastructural base from Tanganda Tea Company and facilities at Cotton Printers
which, when utilised to better capacity, will provide increased foreign currency
inflows. Plans are progressing to enhance synergies, energise operations and
create opportunities which leverage off the strength of the Group. Main
features of the operations incorporated in the income statement for the period
to 31 December 2007 are as follows. (Reference to comparatives is for the nine
month period to 31 December 2006.)
In inflation adjusted terms turnover increased by 1729% to $107 trillion and
operating profit increased to $23 trillion.
• All units achieved occupancy growth which was an overall increase of 28%
for the period;
• Leading Hotels of the World recently visited Meikles and Victoria Falls
Hotel and both achieved pleasing results;
• Stock procurement has been managed under difficult conditions;
• Upgrade of the Victoria Falls in public areas and facilities is nearing
• The refashioning of the Cape Grace will commence shortly and will spread
over two financial periods;
• A major maintenance programme at Meikles has commenced in anticipation of
an upturn in business;
• Overheads have been controlled although there have been instances where
utility costs have increased faster than revenue;
In inflation adjusted terms turnover increased by 41% to $169 trillion and there
was an operating loss of $11 trillion.
• Retail increase in turnover has been less than inflation because of volume
decrease and pricing;
• Procurement of stock to appropriate levels has been extremely difficult
because of pricing and availability;
• Margins have not kept pace with inflation thereby inhibiting cash flow
• Some success was achieved in the securing of BACOSSI funding;
• Recapitalisation is planned provided the protection of stock values can be
• Three new TM projects are at an advanced stage of completion;
• Department Stores credit sales through Meikles Financial Services ceased in
• Plans are advancing for a greater ratio of quality food, confectionery and
produce in the department stores;
• A regional presence using franchise options is being pursued;
• Toll manufacturing and assembly are to be investigated with a view to ensuring
better supply and enhanced differentiation;
Exchange gains reflect the uplift in foreign funds in Zimbabwe dollar terms with
the inflation adjusted financial statements showing the position after taking
into account movement in the CPI index.
The merger
The merger transaction saw the issue of seventy eight million shares to the
shareholders of Kingdom Financial Holdings (excluding Meikles Africa), Tanganda
Tea Company and Cotton Printers. The price was $8,5 million a share, being the
Meikles Africa share price at 31 December 2007. The issue value was compared to
the net assets of the acquired companies resulting in goodwill of $614 trillion
in historic terms.
The merged Group is taking advantage of synergies and resources across the
entities in areas of treasury, foreign currency utilisation, toll manufacturing
and property letting. Strategies are being formalised that leverage off the
strength of the Group balance sheet. These will focus on capital preservation
and financial growth in the case of Kingdom Financial Holdings; refurbishing and
upgrade of the hotels division; increasing tea production through mechanisation
and expansion of agricultural activities; recapitalising the retail division and
revising procurement plans; refurbishing textile machinery to increase
throughput especially for yarn exports. Where product and capacity exist, the
Group will focus on export earnings growth. External investments will continue
to develop where opportunities arise but in the meantime the Group is launching
capital raising programmes which will provide inflows for local working capital
and provide funds for regional expansion. We have realised our investment in
Mvelaphanda favourably. Kingdom Meikles Africa has entered into an option
agreement, which might include an exchange of assets, to invest in Mentor
Africa, a new Pan regional, sub Saharan investment company, subject to all
regulatory approvals. Mentor Africa is headed by Mr. Stephen Levenberg and Mr.
Brett Till former Chief Executive Officer and Financial Director, respectively,
of Mvelaphanda. The post Mvelaphanda investment potentials will see the Group
expanding into the sub Saharan region in areas which might include natural
resources, telecommunications and hospitality. These plans are expected to
materialise within the current financial year.
Social responsibility
The Group continues to be mindful of the plight of the aged and other vulnerable
groups. Shortages and non-availability of basic commodities and services have
compounded the hardships endured by those who have least. In an effort to
assist in the welfare of our country's senior citizens the Group contributes to
homes and institutions across Zimbabwe.
Dividend announcement
The Board has resolved to pass a final dividend for the period ended 31 December
2007 but will consider declaring an interim dividend for the 2008 financial year
in the near future.

Mercedes Updates the C300 4Matic- PGI Auto
The Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic is a popular entry-level sporty sedan that has been creating loyal Mercedes buyers for years. The outgoing C300 4Matic is powered by a 3.0 liter 6 cylinder engine that produces 228 horsepower. For the 2013 model year, Mercedes gave this sporty sedan an engine upgrade that will give drivers a more pleasurable experience with better acceleration, speed and fuel efficiency.
The higher caliber engine gracing the presence of the area under the hood of the 2013 C300 4Matic is a 3.5 liter direct injected V6. This engine is a similar but gentler version of the ones found in the C350 and E350; the 4Matic version will produce 248 horsepower and 251 lb ft of torque. According to Car and Driver Magazine, the sedan will feature both an Eco mode and start/stop feature to increase efficiency. The EPA's mpg ratings for the updated 2013 version should rise as well; automotive experts are expecting at least 20 mpg combined.

How common is the not bookmarking or not remembering....

I can chime in on the 'not remembering' side of the issue
It happens quite frequently. It is more likely to happen later in the book. It also is about guaranteed to happen in those cases where bookmarking no longer works.
At Bookeen's suggestion, I reformatted my memory card to FAT32 and upgraded my software. Still no joy.
This compounds my frustration with the ability to search through the book. I often re-read books and I want to skip boring parts. Paging through the book creates two problems 1) It's slow; and 2) Each page turn burns the battery. I can find that I've 'read' an old book in a couple of hours, but that I've spent as much battery as if I read the entire thing.
There really needs to be some type of search feature. You tell it a page range and it goes to the middle of the range. Then you tell it to go forward or backward and it goes to the middle of the remaining range, etcetera.
Finally, another related problem to the original problem is that it frequently 'loses' my sd card. It's 'easy' to fix. You click the card to remove it, then you reinsert the card. Even if the system is still on it will scan the card and load the books. However, since I have over 400 books it take quite some time to scan in the list.
Finally, that leads me to another suggestion I've left with the folks at Cybook. Everytime the unit is turned on it first loads in the operating system and then it loads the entire library list -- which takes a while (thirty seconds? a minute?). If I'm in the middle of a book, I'm not sure why it needs to take time to load the library. Why doesn't it just open the current book?

Multiple Choice Monday - T Plus 6 Months
As of couple of days ago, I discovered that I really, really, really like writing multiple choice questions. I should have been a teacher. Multiple choice is where it's at... all those options to one measly problem.
To embrace this new-found passion, I will dedicate Mondays (from now until I get tired of it) to a predicament, quandary or impasse. And more importantly, the many heinous options for solving the predicament, quandary or impasse.
April 30, 2009 was T Plus 6 Months for the Consumer Cleanse. I have made it 6 whole months. (In case you're new around here, I'll recap. This Consumer Cleanse began when I realized I'm consuming unnecessary crap and vowed to excise the self-fulfilled consuming for the duration of one year. This means no clothes, gear, gadgets, electronics, magazines, books, home furnishings, etc. Running shoes, makeup and music for myself were listed as buy able. I could still purchase gifts and necessities for family members and friends.)
I know what you're thinking... you're thinking, that plus should be a minus, as in T minus 6 months. In this situation, however, that minus hasta be a plus because I have more money in the bank now. (Might only be a dollar more, but it's more nonetheless.)
Through it all, I've learned a bunch about myself. You want in on my knowledge?
I'm an emotionally impulsive spender. I buy useless crap to distract myself from the immediate emotion. Hungry? Buy something you don't need. Depressed? Buy something you don't want. Anxious? Buy something that needs dusting. Giddy? Buy something ugly. Forlorn? Buy something to watch. Bored? Buy something cute to run in. Overwhelmed? Buy something to read. Excited? Buy something to wear to the prom. Angry? Buy a weapon.
I buy stuff because it's cheap. Oh look, a sweater on sale. Buy it. Add it to the 30 you already don't wear. Look. Pretty jewelry. It's cheap. Don't have anything to wear it with, but who cares! It's cheap!
Shopping is a big fat waste of time. Don't get me wrong. I love to waste time. I'm wasting time right now. The other day, I spent a good two hours aligning that goofy show Lost to the Twelve Sons of Jacob (Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin ) - complete with character comparisons and scripture references. Typed myself up a real nice report. That was entertaining. Shopping is not. Shopping involves money, parking, rudeness, people who don't smile and whiny kids (even when you don't take your own). The topper? Aside from calculating that 30% off, shopping lacks intellectual stimulation.
With six months under the belt, I must admit a couple of cheats and display the greatest temptation. Cheats: I bought Spouse the 4th season of Lost - as a gift - because I couldn't wait for Netflix. (Renting it from Blockbuster would cost more than buying it, by the way). I bought headphones when mine broke. I bought a pair of skanky shorts in Florida so that I could eat in a restaurant. (We were 2 hours away from the hotel and all I had was a wet swimsuit. The shorts have since been donated.) I bought a book (essential to my mental well-being) because the library didn't carry it.
The greatest temptation? This sweatshirt:
Darth and I are tight. We have similar personalities.
Now for the multiple choice: With six months of somewhat-consumer-free living, what should I do now?
A) Keep on going. It ain't so bad.
B) Quit. It's spring now. Like Spouse says, "They always have such cute things in the Spring."
C) Sneak out, blow a few and don't tell anyone.
D) Exclude Emoticon Photography from the consumer cleanse. Buy the Canon 5d Mark II and a 50mm 1.2 elle you ess emme. Can you say full frame (CMOS sensor) and wide open (aperture)? Say it. Full frame and wide open.
E) The blog needs a facelift. Buy a customized header from Megan at Knuckle Headers.

I'm way proud of you on your cleanse. And congrats on getting into the St. George again. It sounds like it was worth all 25 hours. And I liked the tribute to female runners. Hopefully I will be a runner again soon, and maybe this time, I'll actually run a race of substantial mileage before I become with-child again. ;)

I think I like the new multiple choice thing! And I say D sounds like a pretty good option. Besides, it's justifiable--it gives you an opportunity to make more money not to spend!

I vote A. Stick with it! I so admire that you've been able to contemplate, let alone do, this thing. Even though I'd enjoy doing a header for you.

Where is F, All of the Above? 'cuz that's what I would do.

Hmmmm. I choose A.
Why? I haven't bought any clothes in the entire weight loss journey. My goal, to see just how creative I can be. I am close to 50 pounds and 4 sizes. Every time I put on my altered clothing it makes me giggle. AND! It keeps me from defining all the changes in myself through superficial things. The change started from inside.
And, if I know you, you will not want to justify b-d.

I say D! I don't have a real reason. I just want you to have it.

Definitely D with one caveat--you should take pictures of all of the things you wanted to buy but didn't. Thus proving how much good the consumer cleanse is doing.

Attending school in England Gandhi set out to decrease his expenses by half. Once attained he realized that plain living saved him time and began a careful examination of how and where he spent his time. He of course goes overboard but there are lessons to be learned.

On Thursday's CBS This Morning, Charlie Rose went out of his way to spotlight how guest Jeb Bush once complimented President Obama, and played up his disagreements with fellow Republicans. Rose touted how supposedly only Bush had the "courage" to differ with "every Republican candidate in the primary" in being open to eliminating tax deductions to increase revenue.
The anchor also highlighted how Obama claimed that he emulated the father of the former Florida governor: "The President of the United States says that his foreign policy, in sense, in part, is modeled after the foreign policy of your father, President Bush 41."
About two minutes into the first part of the interview, which began at the bottom of the 7 am Eastern hour, Rose noted how Bush stated during an April 2012 interview that "the best thing he [Obama] has done was to hire Arne Duncan as secretary of education and to challenge some of the core political constituencies in his party, to focus more children and less on the adults inside our education system. I think they've done a pretty good job in that regard."
The former governor confirmed his take, but also pointed out that "we have a different approach, as it relates to school choice, and I think we need to accelerate more provocative reforms....I don't have to play the game of being a hundred thousand percent against President Obama. I got a long list of things that I think he's done wrong, and with civility and respect, I will point those out if I'm asked."
Rose continued with his point about the current president supposedly claiming George H.W. Bush as a model in the area of foreign policy. The guest replied, "I don't think he's been as good at it, if it's modeled after it...I would argue that, in some ways, by reality kind of seeping into his life as the commander-in-chief, that a lot of it's modeled after...Forty-three (George W. Bush)."
Later in the segment, the CBS anchor and the former governor had an extended exchange about the differences between him and Mitt Romney and the other would-be Republican presidential candidates on the issues of the budget and the taxes. Rose hinted that Bush was the one reasonable one in the group:
ROSE: You know that we're facing a fiscal cliff for a combination of reasons, having to do with the Bush tax cuts; having to do with raising the debt ceiling; having to do with some other issues coming late December and early January. You, in testimony before Congress, said that you were okay, as you well know, with $10 of spending cuts for $1 of tax revenue.
BUSH: Yeah.
ROSE: But that's a different position than every Republican candidate in the primary.
BUSH: I know, I know-
ROSE: So Jeb Bush stood over here....Mitt Romney and everybody else over here.
BUSH: Look, I can appreciate why they are reluctant to say that, because commitments on spending are, you know, hard to implement; commitments on raising taxes immediately happen. It just seems like, historically, you could have deep distrust that that's the case. So, I can understand the caution in that regard. But if you're asked a hypothetical question, which I was-
ROSE: And which they were.
BUSH: They were.
ROSE: And only you had the -- some may say courage -- to say, I wouldn't go there.
BUSH: It was living proof I'm not running for anything, I think, more than anything else-
ROSE: So, if they hadn't been running, they might have said something different.
BUSH: I hope so, because we have unsustainable deficits.
ROSE: But I haven't heard Governor [Mitt] Romney say, I take that position back; that I'd prepared to raise taxes....If, in fact, I have $10 in spending cuts-
BUSH: And, by the way -- see, this is where it gets dangerous, because I didn't say raising taxes.
ROSE: You said revenue-
BUSH: There's a way to -- you know, eliminating deductions. There's things you could do-
ROSE: But they're not even prepared to go there because Grover Norquist -- who you refused to sign -- says that's not a logical way to go. He says that reducing deductions is raising taxes.
BUSH: Here's what I know to be true: next year, or the year after, there's going to have to be a grand bargain. We are on an unsustainable course. It is not possible to continue to do what we are going -- what we're doing today. It's just not possible. And I think most people that have looked at our structural deficit problems would admit that.
The veteran journalist threw in two more slanted questions near the end of the segment:
ROSE: Is this party more only interested in, sort of, less taxes, less regulation, and -- rather than policies that promote growth and a bigger tent-
BUSH: Well, I think less taxes and less regulation-
ROSE: Would promote growth-
BUSH: Promote growth. And an immigration policy that's true to our heritage would do the same.
ROSE: But are you worried about the direction of your party?
BUSH: I worry that it's short-sighted because tonally - and in terms of the tone of the debate - it sends the signal, we want your support, but you really can't join our team. I mean, that's the short-term implications of this. And demographically, Latino voters, Hispanic voters are going to be important this election, but going forward even more so. So, politically, I think it's short-sighted. I think there needs to be a lot more intense efforts to recognize the demographics of the country are changing, and our messaging -- not our views, not our principles -- but how we message our views needs to change as well.
During an earlier interview of Robert Gates on the May 16, 2012 edition of CBS This Morning, Rose desperately tried to find confirmation from the former defense secretary on whether President Obama is a good commander-in-chief: "You can answer this question as well as anyone I know....do you give President Obama high marks in the national security arena?"

* Chile November IMACEC indicator rises 5.5 percent
* November IMACEC up 1.3 pct from October
SANTIAGO, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Chile's fast-paced economic growth continued to beat expectations in November on an uptick in the services, mining and retail sectors, according to central bank data on Monday.
Year over year, the IMACEC indicator of economic activity in the world's top copper producer rose 5.5 percent in November, despite one fewer working day versus the same month in 2011.
Economic activity came above market expectations for 5.0 percent growth and above a 3.7 percent expansion in November 2011 from the previous year.
It rose a seasonally adjusted 1.3 percent in November from October compared with a downwardly revised 0.8 percent decline in October.
After data last month showed that Chile's economic activity grew at its fastest annual pace this year in October, Finance Minister Felipe Larrain predicted the economy would likely grow around 5.5 percent in 2012.
Chile's small, copper-dependent economy has mostly fared better than expected despite slowing demand from top trade partner China and fallout from the euro zone's crisis due to robust internal demand, a tight labor market and strong investments.
The central bank calculates its month-on-month IMACEC data in seasonally adjusted terms. A monthly gauge, the IMACEC measures more than 90 percent of the components comprising Chile's gross domestic product, which is published quarterly.

WASHINGTON – A prosecutor has cleared an FBI agent of any criminal wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of a Chechen man as he was being questioned about a Boston Marathon bombing suspect, two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the investigation said.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity Friday because they weren't authorized to speak publicly about the case, said State Attorney Jeff Ashton will not bring charges against the agent who shot Ibragim Todashev, a 27-year-old mixed martial arts fighter.
The circumstances surrounding Todashev's death have remained mysterious: Officials initially said the man had lunged at an agent with a knife while FBI agents and Massachusetts state troopers were questioning him about his friendship with suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Later, they said it was no longer clear what happened.

"In the 32 to 33 minutes between Schnellinger's goal and the end of . . . extra time, Italians discovered the nation," wrote the sociologist Nando dalla Chiesa. "Where was the conflict between fathers and sons, friends and friends, colleagues and colleagues, the middle class and workers? It would certainly be back . . . But later." That night millions of Italians, many of them waving tricolours, danced in the streets. The journalist Arrigo Benedetti observed: "At last it seemed that Italians felt authorised not to be sorry for, or even not to be ashamed of being born in this country." Nowhere outside Italy does sport have such political salience. As Simon Martin recounts in this admirably thorough history, Italian leaders from Mussolini to Berlusconi have tried to use it to unite a fractured country. And yet the author also shows how Italian sport is the story of Italy's fractures. John Foot's doorstopper Calcio: a History of Italian Football (2006) was a fine pioneering study, but Italian sport has mostly been neglected by academics. It has also by and large been neglected by the Italian left, always quick to dismiss sport as the new opium of the proletariat. To quote the Milanese socialist weekly La Battaglia Socialista in 1921: "'Healthy in mind, healthy in body' - everybody agrees. But 'sport' in the healthy body too often creates the brain of an imbecile." The Italian right - usually more astute about nationalism and popular pleasures - gave sport more respect. Mussolini, the "first sportsman", was often photographed skiing, fencing, swimming, preferably topless. Martin describes the "thin, formally dressed" Austrian chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss arriving in 1933 for a summit at the beach at Ostia, where Il Duce greeted him "dressed only in a pair of swimming trunks". The Italian dictator realised that sport could be a short cut to national virility, especially for a people then self-conscious about their lack of both height and military triumphs. Often he conflated sportsmen with fascism's "new man". "Men that get a belly are certainly not the Fascist 'model'," he cautioned, though people who live in glass houses etc . . . Mussolini saw sport as a route to worldwide glory and certainly a more reliable route than invading Abyssinia. He got lucky with his football team: in the 1930s Italy won two World Cups and one Olympic gold medal. With the help of sport, he tried to create Italy - not only when it played against other countries but every Sunday at home. In 1929, the Fascists set up a national football league, the Serie A, which still survives, despite unceasing scandal. True, the league encourages conflict between cities: the Milanese against the Romans or the Turinese. Arguments about Juventus's past match-fixing have prompted scuffles in parliament. But the league also gave Italians a shared conversation, in the official national language, promoted throughout the land by the growing sports press. The Gazzetta dello Sport cheered Mussolini on. After his lynching it was offered for sale to the Socialist Party but, typically, the left said no. "The Church was wiser," Martin writes, "and the archbishopric of Milan snapped up the paper and its mass readership in 1945." Only in Italy. Gazzetta is still thriving. As Foot wrote, in 1993, when Berlusconi decided to enter politics, his advisers concluded "that the only language that unites Italians was that to do with football". They had few other shared myths. Britons can fall back on the Second World War; Italians spent much of it fighting one another. And so Berlusconi named his party Forza Italia after a football chant, announced his entry into politics by saying he was "taking the field" and promised to "make Italy like Milan", the football club that his money had turned into the European champion. Soccer helped make him Italy's most enduring ruler since Mussolini. His only piece of bad luck was that in 2006, during his brief stint out of power, Italy won the World Cup. "National sporting achievements . . . have provided Italy with some of its most solid moments of unity," Martin concludes. Yet his book is also a litany of Italian divisions. Even the national team has sometimes provoked sulking from the northern separatist Lega Nord party. At times it has preferred to play home matches outside the north. Before Italy's showdown with Slovakia at the last World Cup, the Lega's leader, Umberto Bossi, carped: "The national team? You'll see, they will get through the group because they will buy the match." As the daily newspaper Il Messaggero noted, Bossi's comment perfectly captured his view of Italy "in football as in life". In the event, he was wrong - Italy lost. In this nation that isn't quite a nation, sport is seldom just sport. Martin's prose is sometimes stodgy, but he has written an important social history from an unexpected angle. It rightly suggests that the histories of other countries could be told through sport.

1.2 Million People in U.S. are HIV Infected – 14 Percent of Them Don't Know It
In observance of National HIV Testing Day, this Saturday, June 27, the Baltimore County Department of Health will offer free HIV testing at seven sites. Make HIV testing a part of your primary care routine by joining us at one of the sites on Saturday, June 27 between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and bring a loved one with you.
Did you know that more than 1.2 million people in our country have HIV/AIDS? Fourteen percent of these men and women don't even know they are infected. HIV does not discriminate and contrary to popular belief, HIV and sexually-transmitted-infection tests are not routinely included in an annual physical or gynecological exam. As a result, it's critical to take control of your health, get tested and know your status.
Easy and Painless Testing
Taking an HIV test is easy and painless! Rapid HIV testing will be provided at the testing sites. This means samples can be collected by a mouth swab or a prick of the finger and the results are available in about 20 minutes. Knowing your HIV status empowers you to manage your health, while protecting yourself and others.
Not available on June 27? No problem. You can schedule a time and date that works for you. Contact the Baltimore County Department of Health at 410-887-2437. For more information on HIV visit http://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/go/gettested.

As the lazy days of summer come to an end, many parents with school-age children are beginning their "back to school" preparations. If you're among them, be sure to include your child's pediatric check-up and/or annual immunizations on your list.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have a list of recommended vaccinations (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/index.html) your child should receive— as well as when they should receive them. New this year in the State of Maryland is a law requiring specific vaccinations for children who are entering kindergarten and seventh grade for the 2014-2015 school year. The law requires that students entering kindergarten this fall must have two varicella vaccinations. Meanwhile, students who are entering seventh grade must have one Tdap (Tetanus-diphtheria-attenuated pertussis) and one meningococcal (MCV4) vaccination.
Immunization is a key part of protecting your child's health. Millions of lives have been saved and untold cases of diseases have been prevented because of people getting vaccines to help them develop immunity to serious infections. Diseases that used to affect many people, such as polio, measles, pertussis (whooping cough), and meningitis, now are rare thanks to vaccines. It's important to note that the germs that cause these illnesses continue to exist, so continued immunization is critical to the health of your child.
Additionally, immunization isn't just good for your child's health; it's also good for those around him or her. When you immunize your child, you help protect the health of others including those who are too young to be vaccinated, those who are unable to be vaccinated due to medical reasons, and those for whom a vaccine may not be effective.
As you enjoy your final days of summer and begin your back-to-school shopping, please include your child's health among your plans. Here's wishing you and yours a happy, healthy and safe school year!
The Baltimore County Health Department will be offering free, recommended vaccinations for eligible children ages five through 18. Find a date and location: http://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/Agencies/health/healthservices/children/immunizations.html

A stern reminder about an upcoming U.S. Soccer-related event, whether you plan to check it out live and in person, on the "telly" or that wacky world wide web.
MNT vs. Wales – Mon., May 26 – 7 p.m. PT – ESPN2
MNT vs. New Zealand – Sun., June 8 – 1 p.m. ET – ESPN2
Coming off the anti-climactic "Revancha en la Cancha" in which an all-MLS U.S. squad tamed an increasingly frustrated Mexico 0-0 in Houston, it's time for Bruce to call in some of the boys overseas and get primed for the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup in mid-June in France. The U.S. MNT has a pair of friendlies over the next three weeks to get some European-based players mixed in and get the team back in form.The first prep match comes as part of the ol' three-day Memorial Day weekend and features a first ever match-up against Wales. But when the U.S. takes the field at Spartan Stadium on Monday night (live on ESPN2 at 7 p.m. PT and tape delay on Telemundo at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT), they might as well be called San Jose United, as 11 of the 17 players on the final roster hail from either the San Jose Earthquakes (5) or D.C. United (6). That's NOT including a pair of players making the trip from overseas – 2002 World Cup midfielder Eddie Lewis (of Preston North End) and goalkeeper Joe Cannon (of RC Lens in France) – who made their name with the Bay Area club. And before you start going off on Bruce for calling in Brian Ching or Ramiro Corrales, realize that the other eight MLS teams have games scheduled for either this Saturday or Sunday.
Although the beloved "Giggsy," perhaps the only Welshman that the average soccer fan knows by name, will not be making the trip, Wales enters the match with a 10-game unbeaten streak and a surprising lead in their Euro2004 Qualifying competition, having posted an eye-opening 4-0-0 record in a Group Nine that includes a 2-1 win over Italy.Two weeks later, the U.S. Men will be off to quaint Richmond, Va., just an hour down the road from our nation's capital, to face New Zealand on Sunday, June 8 (live on ESPN2 at 1 p.m. ET). Expect Bruce to call in a similar mix of European-based players and MLS studs as this match represents their last chance to get it together before they hop on a plane to go mess with the French (the fans, not the National Team. Unless we do extremely well.) With all of the European leagues having completed their 2002-03 season by this point, this match could see the return of Ajax ace John O'Brien to the U.S. midfield, where he is sorely needed.
As always, both matches can be followed online at ussoccer.com's MatchTracker, presented by Philips Electronics. There's really no excuse to miss either game, so we'll see you there.

This is one of the very very few games I've gotten a chance to watch.. using TVU to watch a little difficult as the feed is freezing a lot.. I.e I missed the final nY posession and such..
Still Murphy to me has looked good, I think he will be better defenseively then most people think...
Quins.. seems to be so so defensively not bad..
JO must not be 100% he is not moving on the offensive end as normal..
Tin's every time I've seen him penetrate this game he has looked to pass first.. but teams have been colapsing not giving him any passing lanes... but it really does hurt this team when he misses shots...
Ike... will not see a lot of minutes based on what I saw. He was a step slow all night and really had the case of butter fingers..
Greene... if he can hit that 15ft he can be a very effective sub on this team.
the ref's... WOW.. they are really not in any kind of control out there at all it is a mystery .. that change call with JO/Lee giving it to the knicks was mind boggling... plus you never know what is going to be called or not called... i.e. I though Murph had a clean block on the Nate dunk try... that and Quins got some real bad calls in the second qtrs as well... I guess I'm glad I missed the final seconds sounds like they missed another obvious call there also..

WASHINGTON (Dec. 20)
Prime Minister Edward Heath of Britain, called on United Nations mediator Gunnar V. Jarring today to take the initiative toward a Middle East settlement Instead of waiting for the parties to come to him. Appearing on the CBS television program "Meet The Press," Heath said that Jarring should be "not only a letter box" for the disputants but "can put forward options to each side." Heath said it was "obviously true" that the Jarring mission has not been successful to date. His remarks surprised some observers here who noted that he was suggesting that Jarring play a larger role than the one presumably envisaged in his peace-making mandate which derives from the Security Council's Resolution 242 of Nov. 22, 1967. Paragraph 3 of the resolution requested the United Nations Secretary General to designate a special representative to "establish and maintain contacts with the states concerned in order to promote agreement and assist efforts to achieve a peaceful and accepted settlement in accordance with the provisions and principles of this resolution."
While the words "to promote agreement and assist efforts" are open to broader interpretations, Jarring has held that his role is that of mediator and could be altered only by Security Council action. Heath did not propose such action in his CBS interview. Heath said, in reply to questions on Secretary of State William P, Rogers' controversial territorial proposals of last year, that he has been unable to find out what Israel means by "secure borders." Israel has objected strenuously to the Rogers plan which would have it withdraw to its 1967 boundaries with only minor adjustments. Heath said he has thrown out various suggestions to Israeli leaders since then but has had no reply. He noted that proposals for a U.S.-Soviet peace-keeping force in the Mideast would be acceptable if it was "satisfactory" to both parties–Arabs and Israelis–but he declined to say whether or not Britain was prepared to supply troops for such a force.

A lower motor neuron lesion is a lesion which affects nerve fibers traveling from the anterior horn of the spinal cord to the relevant muscle(s) -- the lower motor neuron.
One major characteristic used to identify a lower motor neuron lesion is flaccid paralysis - paralysis accompanied by muscle loss. This is in contrast to a upper motor neuron lesion, which often presents with spastic paralysis - paralysis accompanied by severe hypertonia.
Symptoms Edit
- Muscle paresis or paralysis
- fibrillations
- fasciculations
- hypotonia or atonia
- Areflexia or hyporeflexia
The extensor Babinski reflex is usually absent. Muscle paresis/paralysis, hypotonia/atonia, and hyporeflexia/areflexia are usually seen immediately following an insult. Muscle wasting, fasciculations and fibrillations are typically signs of end-stage muscle denervation and are seen over a longer time period. Another feature is the segmentation of symptoms - only muscles innervated by the damaged nerves will be symptomatic.
Most common causes of lower motor neuron injuries are trauma to peripheral nerves that sever the axons and poliomyelitis - a virus that selectively attacks ventral horn cells. disuse atrophy of the muscle occurs i.e,shrinkage of muscle fibre finally replaced by fibrous tissu(fibrous musle)
Differential DiagnosisEdit
- Myasthenia gravis - synaptic transmission at motor end-plate is impaired
- Muscular dystrophy - contraction of muscle is impaired due to a cellular defect

Pictures: Cazine McCarthy, revenge porn victim: 'How my ex humiliated me.'Posted by Jack Goode / January 28th, 2015 / No responses
UK woman Cazine McCarthy of Haverfordwest, Wales has bravely come to the fore to explain how she came to be a victim of revenge porn after her boyfriend, Nathan Lloyd, 22 took umbrage with her after she put a close to their relationship.
Taking intimate images and video she had once she shared with her former boyfriend, Nathan posted the lot on instagram after breaking into his ex's account and changing passwords, in essence locking her out.
Since the incident which would eventually land Lloyd in some serious hot water, the 22 year old single mother of one has spoken out in the hopes of warning other women about the dangers of sending explicit photographs in what she described as a 'moment of madness.'
Told Cazine McCarthy via the UK's dailymail: 'I sent a video and image of myself to Nathan because he was working away and kept asking.
'I was unsure at first but he reassured me. He said I could trust him and that he would never show anyone else.
'Looking back it was stupid and I'd never do it again.
'Women have to protect themselves. Not knowing where my picture has been shared is so frightening.'
Incredulously images and video of McCarthy were only removed from Instagram after the woman's friends reported it hundreds of times.
Added Cazine: 'I've lost total control.
'Looking back I wouldn't have sent him the photo or the video but I can't change what happened.
'What I can do is discourage other young women from making the same mistake.
'Even if you think you love and trust someone you don't know how they will react when you break up.'
During their relationship her ex had taken note of her passwords for her social networking sites so he could check up on her. He also followed her into town on a couple of occasions.
Miss McCarthy then decided to end her relationship with him because he was 'aggressive and controlling.'
Lloyd then used this knowledge to post the intimate picture on her Instagram account and change the password so she could not remove it. She begged him to take the messages down but he refused, responding with abusive messages.
Reiterated the single mom: 'His possessive behavior gave me the creeps. But breaking up with him only made it worse.
'He turned nasty and uploaded the private images I'd sent him as revenge.
'When I protested he showed up at my house and kicked down my door.
'That's when I called the police.'
Lloyd admitted breaking the UK's Telecommunications Act by posting the image and criminal damage and was given a restraining order.
He was also ordered to attend a 'building better relationships' course to learn about aggression and relationships – avoiding a prison sentence.
McCarthy said the picture and video made her clearly identifiable and she feared her followers on Instagram thought she wanted them to see her baring all.
She said: 'I would never have thought that that brief moment of madness back then would have caused me so much grief and heartache.'
'I know people locally are talking about me and everyone knows what happened.
'I keep thinking that people might have screengrabbed the video and shared it with friends.
'You can see my face in the picture but not in the video.
'Everyone knew it was me though because of the tattoo on my right side and it's obvious that I was recording in my house.
'I couldn't even deny it.
'What's worse is that my followers would have thought I wanted them to see me naked.
'It was mortifying.'
In December the CPS launched new guidelines on tackling domestic abuse which will include using technology to inflict misery on former partners. Under the new guidance issued prosecutors will be encouraged to consider how revenge porn can be treated as a form of .

Timeline for the Assassins alternate history.
- 1210: Hassan the Great becomes the ruler of the Assassins, ruling from a castle at Alamut.
- 1210-1224: Hassan expands the Assassins, and begin to take control over neighboring provinces of the Abbasid Caliphate. Fortresses are reinforced and a peasant army is created. Hundreds of peasant foot soldiers march the countryside and take large swaths of territory.
- 1225: The Abbisad Caliphate, weary of the Assassins power, sendings its army to destroy its fortresses at Alamut. The Assassins defeat the Caliphate in several battles, and take control of more land area.
- 1226: Az-Zahir, the leader of the caliphate, is murdered by the Assassins. His son, Al-Mustansir, becomes the leader of the caliphate.
- 1227: Al-Mustansir is murdered by the Assassins as well. As-Salih Ayyub, a military captain from Egypt, becomes the leader of the Caliphate. He is secretly supported by the Assassins. Ayyub subsequently ends the war against Assassins and withdraws troops from Iran. With the soldiers gone the order expands, and by 1230 controls territories from the Persian Gulf to the eastern Meditteranean Sea.
- 1232: Hassan sends soldiers to aid the fight against Al-Andalus by the Christians. The Assassins secure an alliance with Ferdinand III of Castille, giving them their first European ally.

Advisor Name Title Burnett, Michael F. Committee Chair Johnson, Earl Committee Member Machtmes, Krisana Committee Member Verma, Satish Committee Member Wiley-Patton, Sonja Dean's Representative Keywords

Date of Defense 2011-04-15 Availability unrestricted AbstractSmall businesses are the backbone of the American economy, and entrepreneurship is of critical importance to women because it provides a means to becoming self-sufficient, in charge of one's own career path, and as a way to rise about the "glass ceiling" of the corporate world. Women who perceive themselves as having the necessary skills and knowledge to start their own companies have a higher likelihood of starting a business than those who do not. Therefore, it is important to understand the training needs and perceptions regarding the efficacy of entrepreneurship training programs specifically targeted to women.
The primary purpose of this study was to determine the influence of selected demographic characteristics and business related variables on perceptions of entrepreneurship training effectiveness among women and to compare the perceptions of training effectiveness by whether or not the participants were business owners.
This study was conducted through an analysis of archival data collected from participants in the Women in Business workshops offered by an entrepreneurship institute in a College of Business at a large research institution located in the southeastern portion of the United States. Findings revealed there were very positive perceptions regarding the effectiveness of the program on the part of most participants, both business owners and non-business owners. However, analysis of qualitative data collected in the study identified issues and important factors not found in the quantitative data. Some of those factors included importance of familial support and the role of a female mentor.
Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that having a female mentor is important to all Women in Business attendees as is support from family members. The researcher recommended that mentoring, both in terms of finding a female mentor and becoming a mentor for other women preparing to become entrepreneurs, become a central component of the Women in Business training program.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Hi and welcome to Just Answer. I am a licensed veterinarian and will do my best to help you.
Are her stools normal?
Yes she went to the bathroom fine
Has she had any history of swallowing objects like toys, rocks, or other non-digestable objects?
well once she ate a fox tail (similar to a pine cone) that caused an abcess because it inbedded in her mouth
she is part pug and they are like little goats
Do you offer her bones to che on?
That should be chew
Yes soup bones usually
she does go to daycare three days aweek but she was not there today
Dogs that do alot of stretching, assume the bow wow position (head down, pelvis elevated) and that seem anxious frequently are dealing with a foreign body that they have swallowed. Bones are among those as they can become lodged. In general I'm not fan of feeding bones as they not only can get stuck, but they also commonly break teeth.
As far as I know she has not had a bone in a week
With foreign body ingestion the keeys to watch are for vomiting, loss of appetite, and straining to pass stools. I' m amazed at what they are able to pass, but do occasionally need to help them with a blockage through surgery.
Since she is eating and not vomiting, I would just be watchful for now. If this is persisting into tomorrow I would consult your vet and perhaps get an x-ray.
ok so do I need to take her to urgent care? She is stretching agin
ok she is wagging her tail when she stretches
I don't see any need for urgent care based on your description, but at the same time I would seek help if this persists into tomorrow. Also be aware of the risk of vomiting or diarrhea so consider that when you choose where she sleeps tonight.
could I give her a litte fish oil to help her pass
Fish oil is a digestable oil and will not have any benefit. Mineral oil, administered in food will lubricate things but will create a mess when it passes as she won;'t be able to control it. I would not choose this at this point.
Ok I will wait
You could give half a pepcid or pepto bismol to see if it will quiet her stomach.
Ok I will try that. She does sometimes eat the cats hair balls (gross I know) maybe its that
Great. Best wishes.
Thank you for the help

The Wilson reading system is designed for students who have decoding and spelling problems. It is a research-based program which has 12 steps. Its main goal is to teach students language and word structure through a carefully planned program. The program was developed at a student center in Massachusetts in 1980's. The Wilson Reading System is now commonly used in different regions throughout the country.
The system was at first designed for older individuals with dyslexia but nowadays it is used for many different problems and individuals. Students who failed other reading programs or those who still have problems with decoding and spelling is the new target of the WRS system. The program is also useful for students who can't read or write English but are able to speak and understand. It is extensively used with older individuals and middle school students. One of the unique characteristics of the Wilson Reading System is that it was designed for students past grade 3.
The students who are enrolled in the program experience a planned, integrated procedure and learn methodically. The teaching plan is based on nonstop evaluation of the students' needs. WRS instruction is multisensory, organized and cumulative. The WRS uses an exceptional sound tapping system at the beginning of the program in order to help students learn to distinguish the speech sounds in a word. The students of the WRS are not overwhelmed with the burden of learning the rules of the language but rather focused on the application of the rules. Comprehension and fluency are two important components of the program.
WRS addresses the areas of Edit
- phonemic segmentation
- alphabetic principle – sound/symbol relationships
- decoding
- encoding (spelling)
- advanced word analysis
- vocabulary development
- sight word instruction
- fluency
- Comprehension with visualization and metacognition.
Program Components Edit
The system is also useful for one-to-one tutoring or in small groups. There are two different vocabulary levels: The first one is the "Level A" which is appropriate for elementary, English-as-a-Second-Language and older students with inadequate vocabularies; and the second one is the "Level B" is appropriate for students who are beyond elementary grades with more complex vocabularies.
The program incorporates five elements for teaching at-risk populations:
- direct teaching of alphabetic code
- direct instruction in language analysis
- coordination of reading and spelling instruction
- intensive instruction
- teaching for mastery
- Banks, S.R., Guyer, B.P. and Guyer, K.E. 1993. Spelling Improvement by College Students Who are Dyslexic, Annals of Dyslexia. 43: 186-93. A study at Marshall University determined Wilson spelling most effective program with college students with a learning disability.
- Savage, J. August, 2000. Sound It Out: A Book About Phonics and How to Teach It: McGraw-Hill. A book about the teaching of decoding will include information about the Wilson Reading System as a structured language program.
- Wong, B. (ed.) 1998. Learning About Learning Disabilities. Orlando, FL: Academic Press. A chapter by Dr. Louisa Moats highlights the Wilson Reading System as one of 3 exemplary programs for students with language learning disabilities.
