She kept glancing at her nametag: "Mrs. Ryanna Buckley." But she nailed it — charming, lovely, always squeezing his arm. By dessert, he was in love. "What about kids?" someone asked. "We want at least three," Buckley said. Ryanna ran crying from the room. Buckley looked everywhere. He found her in the men's room, blowing Marshall Doyle.

Minerva Networks in IPTV Integration Partnership with Sigma Designs
--Entone Secures IPTV Deployment with Clear Lake Telephone
IPTV middleware and applications provider, Minerva Networks, announced Wednesday that it has made various enhancements to its client software platform, which it says significantly reduce the effort required to deploy set-top boxes based on Sigma Designs' next-generation devices. According to the company, it has been working closely with Sigma Designs to integrate their respective environments so that no third-party software components are needed to built a high-performance set-top box based on the companies' technologies. It says that tight integration between Minerva client software and Sigma Designs devices enables hardware manufacturers to minimize development expenses and deliver cost-effective next-generation set-tops in a timely fashion. "We have extended our client software to include critical components that previously had to be supplied by set-top box vendors," Minerva CTO and COO, Jean-Georges Fritsch, said in a prepared statement. "Close integration between Minerva's client middleware and Sigma Designs' set-top box software stack results in higher performance and reliability."
Minerva says that Taiwanese manufacturer, Wistron NeWeb Corporation (WNC), will be first-to-market with a set-top box based on the newly integrated Minerva-Sigma Designs solution (Sigma Designs SMP8654 processor + Minerva iTVManager client software). The box is expected to be generally available in the first quarter of next year. "We are very pleased to be first-to-market with a cost-effective, next-generation IPTV set-top box based on Minerva's and Sigma Designs' technologies," Johnson Hsu, head of WNC's Digital Home business unit, said in a prepared statement. "The compelling price and performance benchmark we are setting will help drive the growth of the IPTV market."
In related news: IPTV home-connectivity solutions provider, Entone, says that Clear Lake Telephone (CL Tel) has selected its Hydra IP video gateway and Amulet IPTV receiver for its HD IPTV service launch. CL Tel operates broadband and fiber optic networks in Clear Lake and Ventura, Iowa, and is using the Entone products as part of a triple-play offering. "To be competitive in this dynamic market, not only is it vital to deliver a reliable and high-quality video service but lowering installation costs and customer churn are also important in making the business case for IPTV services," CL Tel president, Jan Lovell, said in a prepared statement. "We selected the Entone solution because of its field-proven track record and its ability to deliver advanced services without having to rewire our subscribers' homes. Entone's support has been outstanding. They have been an excellent partner in helping deploy this advanced IPTV service."
According to Entone, the Hydra IP video gateway and Amulet IPTV receiver integrate patent-pending media routing technologies that enable the delivery of live broadcast television and recorded video services throughout a subscriber's home without requiring new wiring or a set-top box at each television set. The company claims that its solutions have been deployed by over 80 operators.

Glassautomatic in Mt. Pleasant area extends lease
The Mt. Pleasant area's glass industry tradition got a shot in the arm on Thursday when Glassautomatic Inc. reached a 10-year lease extension agreement with the Westmoreland County Industrial Development Corp.
The lease is in the Mt. Pleasant Glass Center, the former Lenox glass plant along Route 31 in Mt. Pleasant Township. Total lease payments will be $715,000.
The glass etching and polishing company was founded by Rolf Poeting in 1981. After emigrating from Germany as the third generation of his family to sell glass manufacturing equipment, he started his own company, Rolf Glass, which later became Glassautomatic.
In 2003, the company moved from a smaller location in Latrobe to the present site.
"We pride ourselves on exceptional customer service and the ability as a domestic manufacturer to respond quickly and flexibility to each customer's unique needs," Poeting said.
The company started with 18 employees, now has 50 employees "and we're still looking to grow," Poeting said.
In addition to original designs — among them is a line of glassware etched with dragonflies, deer or peacocks — the company provides custom monogramming, glass cutting, and custom engraving and etching.
"They are a great little company and have been around for a long, long time. The owner has been through ups and downs in the industry and stuck it out, but it looks like the market is ready for some significant growth," said James L. Smith, CEO of the Economic Growth Connection of Westmoreland, a private, nonprofit economic development corporation.
"This company is really poised and in a position to benefit from it," Smith said.
Lenox closed its crystal stemware manufacturing operation at the plant in 2002.
Glassautomatic occupies space in the building along with Lenox Outlet, Pittsburgh Electric Engines, Crystal Concepts, O'Rourke Cut Glass and Catch-Up Logistics.
"It's traditional companies like this that can utilize the skills of workers known to the Westmoreland County region," said Commissioner Charles W. Anderson.

Our team is growing! We are very excited to welcome Alice Fowler to our digital marketing team as an Online Content Editor/Writer.
In our efforts to update and overhaul most of the travel websites in Fubra's portfolio, we were looking for an enthusiastic writer with a keen interest in travel, holiday budgeting, culture, and, of course, online media and technology.
Alice was a fantastic candidate: she graduated from Oxford Brookes University with BA (Hons) in Japanese Language and Contemporary Society with Politics, and spent a year in Japan as part of her degree. Here's how she introduces herself:
"I spent four years at University learning Japanese and even spent my third year living and studying at a University in Nagoya, Japan, making amazing friends and memories as well as improving my language skills. A career in the field, however, wasn't really for me, and I've spent the last few years focusing on my editing and proofreading skills whilst in an administrative / secretarial role at a small accountancy firm."
"Throughout my time in Japan I really enjoyed keeping a blog to document my experience, and I've done the same with other aspects of my life as well. Now I am thrilled to be using my love of writing and editing in this exciting role with Fubra!"
Alice will be involved in content strategy and execution for a range of Fubra's projects, including Airport Parking Shop, the network of Airport Guides (such as Heathrow Airport Guide) and other travel sites.

AMWA Credit Workshop Descriptions
Basics of Epidemiology [RR/EW/PH/SG] [4001]
Designed for experienced medical writers, this combination of lecture and group exercises is based on the principle that medical communicators have a key gatekeeper's role in ensuring the correct interpretation of scientific findings. Participants will be provided with the ABCs of data interpretation according to basic epidemiological concepts and research techniques. The focus will be on the critical appraisal of reported medical findings and the application of epidemiological tenets to improve the participant's writing. Measures of disease occurrence, research designs, and causality development will be discussed. The workshop leader will use examples from clinical medicine, public health, and pharmacoepidemiology.
Instructor: Bart Harvey, MD, MSc, PhD, MEd, FRCPC, FACPM, MWC
Approximate homework time: 3 hours
Serving Two Masters: Comparing and Contrasting US and EU Regulatory Processes [RR] [4024]
There is now an internationally agreed format for the presentation of an application dossier for a marketing authorization for a pharmaceutical product: The Common Technical Document (CTD). It is accepted by the three participating regulating authorities (USA, EU, and Japan) as well as by other "observer" parties (e.g. Canada). This does not mean, however that there is commonality in the processes required for submission and review, the content of dossiers, nor the way in which reviewers approach the assessment of the dossier. In particular, there are significant differences between the way data are summarized and the approach taken by European reviewers and that taken by their counterparts in the USA. While some of these differences may ultimately evolve to a state of commonality, others likely never will. Participants will be introduced to the legal origins and mandates, and will review some of the labyrinthine procedures associated with preparing, filing, and defending a licensing application. Cultural and practice differences and similarities between the EU and USA will be explored.
Instructor: Art Gertel
Approximate homework time: 2-3 hours
Essentials of Copyediting [CP/EW] [3003]
Copyediting—scrutinizing text for correctness, consistency, format and completeness, and clarity and accuracy—is required for all types of written material. This workshop, intended for beginning copyeditors, will focus on basic copyediting skills, not on specific language issues. Participants will learn the elements, principles, and processes involved in copyediting for scientific and medical publications. Specific exercises will enable participants to identify typical copy problems and compare various editorial choices.
Instructor: Loretta Bohn
Approximate homework time: 3 hours
Understanding Sample Size and Study Power [ADV] [729]
This workshop is intended for writers and editors who are familiar with basic biostatistics and research methods and who want to improve their understanding of and ability to communicate about sample size and study power. Various factors will be explored, particularly sample size and the influence of a study's "power"—the ability to detect a measured and statistically significant effect. The workshop leader will also examine the role that precision and confidence intervals play in interpreting and reporting a study's power. These concepts will be addressed from the vantage points of planning studies and of interpreting and assessing completed studies. The workshop leader will emphasize effectively communicating the related concepts to lay and professional audiences. It is recommended that participants have previously taken Statistics for Medical Writers and Editors and Basics of Epidemiology for Medical Communicators, and/or Interventional and Observational Research Design. Participants would also benefit from having taken Risks and Ratios.
Instructor: Bart Harvey, MD, MSc, PhD, MEd, FRCPC, FACPM, MWC
Approximate homework time: 3 hours
NOTE: To receive course credit, you must submit workshop homework to the instructor by April 15, 2016.
AMWA Open Session Descriptions
The Role of Medical Writing in Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (OS)
The field of pharmacoeconomics and outcomes research aims to evaluate the clinical, economic, and humanistic value of treatment strategies, to aid in health care decision making, and to inform the allocation of health care resources. Deirdre M. Mladsi and Shahnaz B. Khan, MPH, both senior outcomes researchers at RTI Health Solutions, will present an overview of pharmacoeconomics (ie, analysis of the costs and consequences of a treatment) and outcomes research (ie, analysis of the clinical, humanistic, and economic end results of a treatment). This session will describe the basic principles of pharmacoeconomic analysis, the ways in which clinical data factor in to pharmacoeconomics and outcomes research, and the significance of this research to patients, clinicians, and health care payers. The presenters will also discuss the role of medical writers in this diverse field.
Speakers: Deirdre M. Mladsi and Shahnaz B. Khan, MPH
Trends and Transformations in CME: Interpretations and Implications for Medical Writers and Editors (OS)
To remain a relevant and useful strategic asset for improving healthcare and patient outcomes, CME must continue to change. Thus, it is critical that professionals whose role involves developing, writing, and editing in the CME space develop and hone skills related to conducting gap analyses, writing educational grant requests, developing content for CME-certified activities, and publishing or presenting educational effectiveness research. They must also stay abreast of regulatory and industry trends that guide how CME activities are developed to support the lifelong learning of clinicians. This session will provide an overview of the main CME stakeholders; principles and regulations that guide the development of CME activities; and key competencies and skills necessary to develop exemplary CME activities.
Speaker: Monique Johnson, MD, CHCP
Evolution of Medical Communicators: From Puppets to Masters of Integrity (OS)
Medical communicators are often perceived as spin doctors who do not add value to the publication process. Using ghostwriting as a model, this interactive session will review existing and new publication guidelines to more clearly define the role of the medical writer, as well as survey data showing that awareness of guidelines is associated with ethical behavior. Although the prevalence of unethical behavior appears to be decreasing, it is stubbornly persistent. Modeled after a similar session at the San Antonio Annual Conference, this session will use a new case study to review a multistep model for making ethical decisions—which in turn can be used to transform our image from being puppets to becoming masters of integrity.
Speakers: Chantelle Rein-Smith, PhD, and Cindy W. Hamilton, PharmD, ELS
How to Launch a Freelance Career (OS)
Have you ever dreamed about being a freelance medical writer, but the thought of launching and maintaining a business seemed too daunting? This interactive panel discussion aims to remove the mystery around incorporating, reviewing contracts, accounting, paying taxes, pricing, invoicing, marketing, investing, and insurance needs and will discuss the experience and skills you'll need for your business to run smoothly and successfully. The panelists include both pharma and non-pharma writers who are either long-time or new freelances. Attendees should come prepared to ask about any aspect of launching and maintaining a freelance writing business. There's plenty of freelance work out there. If it's time for you to make the leap, this session is for you.

BEIJING (Reuters) - World record holder Alain Bernard opened the war of words for the Olympic swimming competition on Thursday, stating he was the favorite for the 100 meters freestyle and the French relay squad would "smash" the Americans.
Bernard lowered Pieter van den Hoogenband's world record to 47.50 seconds in March and four of his title rivals have since swum under 48 seconds, making the blue-ribbon event one of the most open on the Beijing program.
Not according to Bernard.
"The 100 meters favorite, it's me," he told journalists in Beijing. "If I didn't believe I was, I wouldn't be here at all.
"I've always said that 10 to 15 swimmers could be on the podium. But physically, I'm on top. I'm fitter than I was at the French championships, fitter than I was at the European championships."
A great fan of double Olympic champion van den Hoogenband, Bernard said the Dutchman, below par in recent months, was far from finished despite having the 13th fastest time this year, 0.87 seconds behind Bernard's world record.
Van den Hoogenband has withdrawn from the 200 freestyle to concentrate on defending his Olympic title.
"He will be there, believe me," Bernard said of the Dutch veteran. "He's going for his third title, and for someone like me, taking part in his first Olympics, it's impressive."
Bernard also said the French relay quartet, in a remark reminiscent of Gary Hall Jr's comments the Americans' would "smash the Australians like guitars" just before the Sydney Olympics, would be one of the teams to beat.
France with a team including Amaury Leveaux, Frederic Gilot and Frederick Bousquet clocked 3:12.54 in June, only 0.08 seconds from the world mark and Bernard was bullish ahead of Sunday's 4x100 freestyle relay heats.
"The Americans? We're going to smash them. That's what we came here for," Bernard said.
"I'll start my Games in the 4x100 meters freestyle relay final, confident that my pals will have qualified easily.
"If the relay goes according to plans, than we'll be on a roll."

LITHESTYLE 23 Aug 2012
One of my favorite things about working with and teaching so many women through Lithe is being exposed to a ton of great fashion and beauty secrets. At the front desk, I will notice someone's glowing skin, healthy hair or just plain great style, and ask...what are you using? Or where did you get that? And everyone is always eager to share.
Remember Jeanette's 25 Things where she divulged that she doesn't use shampoo? Here's the whole story!
Back in November last year my hair was in a really a bad state. After just one day of not washing it the roots would get greasy, the ends dry, and the whole thing would look flat and frizzy at the same time. Not a good combination. So I turned to my hair stylist (fellow Lither and owner of Juju Salon) Julie Ebner for help. "Ditch the shampoo" she said. I tried the "letting your hair clean itself" approach (basically not using anything, just a little bit of conditioner), but that didn't work so well for me. I know it's supposed to take a few weeks until your hair starts "cleaning" itself, but with sweating through four or five Lithe classes a week, I needed something to clean my hair with now!
I did some research for alternatives to shampoo, and decided to try the baking soda method: Mix one tablespoon baking soda with one cup of warm water in an old shampoo bottle, shake well, and apply that mixture to wet hair, making sure to really massage it in to the roots for a minute or so. One cup is enough for about two washes for my hair. I still use conditioner on the ends, although I may one day try replacing that with an apple cider vinegar rinse. I wash my hair no more than twice a week.
This has been my hair care regimen since November 2011. The result? Smoother hair, cleaner roots and softer ends! Not to mention fewer harmful chemicals being absorbed through my scalp, and more money in my pocket. Talk about a win-win situation!
Two things to note about washing your hair with baking soda:
1) It will not work in hard water. I live in center city Philadelphia where the tap water is fairly soft, so baking soda does a great job. I spent a week in Italy earlier in the year, and trying to wash my hair with baking soda in the hard Umbrian mountain water was a complete disaster; the result was dirty, greasy hair and a grumpy, very un-glamorous feeling Jeanette.
2) When mixing the baking soda and water, make sure you use warm, not cold water. For me, it just doesn't seem to clean the hair as well when it has been mixed in cold water.
*About three weeks ago, I noticed my hair was not getting clean, no matter how much I washed it. My hair looked and felt the way it had done in Italy. I was convinced that PWD had changed our water supply overnight, as I refused to believe that the baking soda method was failing. After a week of this I finally gave in and bought a very mild, natural cleansing shampoo (from Juju) and washed my hair with it once. Then I went back to the baking soda, which is now working fine again. I later figured out that I probably didn't use warm enough water when mixing the baking soda, but who knows, maybe something really did change in the water...

A group of United States distressed debt hedge funds has moved a step closer to taking control of Nine Entertainment Co after receiving a Goldman Sachs proposal to convert part of the media company's $3.8 billion of borrowings into equity.
It is understood Goldman was preparing to put the proposal to Nine Entertainment's lenders, including hedge funds Oaktree Capital and Apollo Global Management, on Sunday night. It is the first time owners of the business formerly known as PBL Media have acknowledged that its debt mountain means control will change hands.
Goldman manages mezzanine debt funds owed around $1 billion by Nine and recently formed an alliance with the media group's owners, private equity firm CVC Asia Pacific, which bought PBL from James Packer for $5.6 billion in debt and equity in 2006-08, before the global financial crisis struck.
Under the Goldman proposal, lenders owed $2.8 billion in senior debt, led by Oaktree and Apollo, would emerge with a 70 per cent stake in Nine Entertainment. The Goldman funds would give up their debt for the remaining 30 per cent, with a small portion going to CVC. This means the vast majority of CVC's $1.9 billion equity investment will be lost.
There is no certainty Nine Entertainment's lenders will endorse the proposal, which could form the basis for further negotiations.
"There may be more brinkmanship," said a source familiar with the situation, "but it does show for the first time that both sides will have something serious to talk about."
The hedge funds remain in a powerful negotiating position as they control the senior debt and rank before the Goldman funds and CVC. They will have the final say on the Goldman proposal if it is put to lenders as it is likely to be decided by scheme of arrangement that requires a 75 per cent yes vote.
Nine owns east coast free-to-air television stations, Ticketek, 50 per cent of the NineMSN digital business and ACP Magazines. The TV business has had a strong year in the ratings through programs such as The Voice, Howzat! The Kerry Packer Story and its coverage of the London Olympics.
In the past two weeks, Nine chief executive
For the likes of Oaktree, which has bought Nine Entertainment debt at discounted rates over the past 18 months, the payment at 100¢ in the dollar would represent a premium.
Under the Goldman proposal, Nine would retain $1.25 billion in debt through a new five- year facility. Interest rates would be twice as high, in keeping with the higher cost of debt since the GFC. Nine's leverage would drop from 10 times EBITDA to around 4.5 times, although some lenders may regard the new figure as still too high.
Lenders could use the scheme process to push for a greater share of equity or a smaller amount of debt. The proposal will allow different lenders to elect to take debt or equity.
Goldman is likely to argue that it has engaged constructively with other stakeholders and that the proposal ensures an orderly handover of the business. The proposal also means Nine Entertainment stakeholders will not have to contemplate the prospect of the business going into receivership.
The company is close to breaching a key loan agreement relating to its debt to earnings ratio at the end of the month. "The company can't afford for this to blow up," said a source close to the situation.
The Goldman proposal values the business at $2.6 billion or 10 times earnings before 2012-13 interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (excluding earnings from ACP, which are forecast to fall from $100 million in 2011-12 to $80 million this financial year).
This is a lower multiple than the 11.5 times EBITDA that CVC paid for Nine or private equity firm KKR paid for a stake in Seven Media Group in 2006, although these transactions were completed in more buoyant market conditions.
The publicly listed Ten Network Holding, which has struggled to produce decent ratings this year, currently trades at 9 times EBITDA.
It is believed the Nine board, including chairman Peter Bush and Mr Gyngell, were notified over the weekend.
The mezzanine funds controlled by Goldman have watched their exposure grow in the past year because they have elected not to take interest payments in cash. The funds have also made it clear to stakeholders that they were prepared to have their stake converted into equity.

Metal allergy
I recently had surgery where a monarch bladder sling was placed for my bladder. I was not aware that they used titanium screws placed to the pubic bone to hold this mesh in, however, I am allergic to metal and have never been able to wear belts, etc.. Is there anything I can do to stop the allergy without having to reverse the surgery?
Titanium is a relatively inert metal and seldom causes problems. Individuals have more trouble with nickel and cobalt. If the screws are pure titanium, it is unlikely that the metal allergy is causing your problems. However, to be sure, a few specialty centers (including ours) are equipped to test for a spectrum of metals to see if you are sensitized and therefore at risk for a metal allergy reaction.

Orzo can be substituted for Rosa Marina pasta
For Judy Caskey, of Scottdale in Westmoreland County, who asked for a dessert recipe that includes pasta, whipped cream, maraschino cherries, crushed pineapple and walnuts. From Susan Answine, of Greensburg, who writes, "This recipe fits the description, except for the nuts, which could easily be added, to your taste. I got this recipe from a Catholic priest, whose mother often made it." Rosa Marina pasta -- also called Rosamaria, Rosa Maria or Rosamarina -- is rice-shaped and similar in appearance and taste to orzo. Substitute orzo if you cannot find Rosa Marina.
Rosa Marina Salad
- Water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 box (1 pound) Rosa Marina pasta, orzo or acini de pepe
- 1 can (1 pound) crushed pineapple
- 1 can (20 ounces) chunk pineapple
- 1 jar (8 ounces) maraschino cherries
- 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 container (16 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
Heat a large quantity of water to a boil. Add the salt, then add the pasta and cook according to package directions.
Meanwhile, drain all of the fruit, reserving the juices in 1 bowl. Put the eggs, flour, sugar and the mixed juices in a heavy pan and cook over medium heat until thick. Set aside.
Drain the pasta when cooked, then let cool. Place the pasta into a bowl and add the fruit sauce. Chill for at least 8 hours or overnight. Refrigerate the fruit separately.
Before serving, snip the cherries and add them with the rest of the fruit to the pasta. Stir in the whipped topping.
Editor's note: Thanks to all readers who sent in this recipe.
Hash Brown Casserole
For Laura Booher, of Scottdale in Westmoreland County, who wanted a recipe for the hash brown casserole served at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store and Restaurant. From Jonna Miller, of Youngwood in Westmoreland County, who writes, "I've tried just about every variation (of this recipe) out there, and this one is the best. It's on the menu for every party and picnic."
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, cubed, plus more for greasing baking dish
- 1 package (2 pounds) frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
- 1/2 cup minced onion
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 16 ounces sour cream
- 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) cream of chicken soup, undiluted
- 2 cups (8 ounces) grated cheddar cheese
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13- by 9-inch baking pan.
In a bowl, mix the hash browns and onion. Season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, mix the sour cream and cream of chicken soup. Turn into the bowl with the potatoes and mix gently to coat. Turn into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the cheese and cubed butter. Bake for 45 minutes or until warmed through and the cheese begins to melt.
Does anyone have these recipes?
- A few years ago, I clipped a recipe about a no-cook tomato pasta sauce from the chef at Cafe Giovanni in Mt. Lebanon. The restaurant has changed owners. I'm hoping someone will send it in before the local tomato season starts.
--Leslie McAffee, Collier
- Can readers send in recipes about how to "doctor up" canned baked beans to make them special?

10 Ways to Protect Your Vote on Election Day
In writing about the "dead voter" non-phenomenon a few days ago, I mentioned that despite a few real examples, "dead voters" far more often either aren't dead, aren't voters, or are different people altogether from those flagged in state records.
I should have added that even finding real deceased voters doesn't always reveal unlawful activity.

Opinion: Cast Your Ballot Against Electronic Voting
http://www.aolnews.com/elections/article/opinion-cast-y... They're easily manipulated, constantly flip votes from one candidate to another, often fail even to turn on at all, and they are never ever verifiable as accurately reflecting the will of the voters who used them. Yet election officials continue to force their constituents to cast their precious votes on them nonetheless.
What are they? Direct recording electronic (DRE) voting systems -- usually touch-screen voting machines, though sometimes they have a wheel or push buttons. Either way, they all work -- or don't work -- the same way...
More Voting Headaches Ahead?
Election officials say they're ready for Tuesday, but wild cards could disrupt the voting process once again. http://www.nationaljournal.com/columns/rules-of-the-gam... ...when things are close or go wrong, noted Norden, the first thing people blame is machines.

Action Plan - Adobe PDF format
Asia-Pacific Partners account for 52 percent of the world's aluminium production. The aluminium industry is one of the fastest growing sectors, with rapid growth in developing countries.
The industry can make further improvements in environmental performance, while reducing costs, through best practice use of existing equipment (in particular perfluorocarbons (PFC) emissions management), increased uptake of best available and affordable technology (including improved instrumentation), the continued development and deployment of new technologies, and by increasing levels of recycling. Through the Partnership, countries can advance industries towards global PFC reduction objectives and address energy efficiency and other CO2 process emissions by promoting best practice performance, increasing technical support and identifying impediments to deployment of best available and affordable technology.

Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season (V-Speed Rated)
Initial Review: 3,000 miles on tires
January 28, 2014
Without compromise, I normally use snow tires in the winter and performance tires for summer. After getting whacked with the Great Recession I decided to save some money and I purchased these Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Seasons, at the same time thinking it would be a compromise for winter driving. To my surprise these tires work very well in the winter! If you're buying all-season tires you'll be pleased with these.

Certain beauty products leave us awestruck—and intensely curious. (Exhibit A: a magic wand that builds you a new set of eyebrows from scratch—say wha?) We couldn't resist indulging in some beauty geekery to learn how these game-changers do their thing.
Mèreadesso® All-In-One Moisturizer
Developing this multitasker (toner, serum, and hydrator) wasn't as simple as picking a single miracle ingredient. "I don't believe in the 'magic bullet' theory," says founder Linda Stephenson. The key was to combine the highest number of skin-improving actives (over 20 antioxidants alone) while protecting them from contamination, heat, and humidity. And with botanical ingredients, that can be a real challenge. Stephenson's solution: The double-walled bottle, which insulates from unfriendly temps, and the pump closure, which prevents contamination from any bacteria that your hands may be carrying. The product's aloe base also contributes a slew of built-in vitamins and minerals—as well as lignin, an agent that helps aloe (and all of the skin-savers suspended therein) penetrate skin more effectively.
Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow
Benefit's latest brow product shrinks the gap between the haves and have-nots with its ability to create natural-looking, voluminous brows on even the sparsest of arches. Polypropylene micro-fibers mimic real brow hairs by clinging to the ones you've already got. Because polypropylene is so elastic, the fibers move with your natural hair for the most authentic look possible. Meanwhile, the tinted gel is thick enough to add shape, and has conditioning and moisturizing agents to help those little hairs live longer and stronger.
theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac
Cheek tints can be tricky: Leave them on for just a second too long before blending, and you run the risk of unsightly red stripes streaking across your face like some form of war paint. Which is why Stainiac is such a standout. The two-in-one lip and cheek tint leaves ample time to blend and keeps skin hydrated long after it sets. The secret? The lightweight gel base contains sodium hyaluronate and green tea extract, which take a while to dry and let you move the color around for perfect placement.
DDF® Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer Moisturizing Serum
Pore-shrinking is one of the great white whales of skincare—and the beauty industry has had its fair share of Ahabs. "Minimizing pores can refer to many different factors: pore diameter, number of pores, or pore depth," explains a spokeperson from DDF's R&D department. DDF's brilliant serum spears its prey by tackling that last one: pore depth. The formula helps pores appear smaller in two ways: by exfoliating the top layer of skin, thereby making pores shallower, and by diffusing light, so that pores don't look as dark. The dual-phase technology was a challenge to package, however, because the developers didn't want the two phases to mix until they came out of the pump. After many months of tweaking, they were able to create two formulas that separate naturally inside the bottle—just like oil and water.

One Wacky Deal
Now I remember why I like the stock market so much -- because sometimes companies do really stupid things and you can make a lot of money from their inanities.
That's how I feel after listening to this weird, out-of-body Softbank-to-buy-Sprint (S) press conference this morning. The whole exercise reminded me of those old Godzilla vs. Mothra movies; this time, the Earth's cell phone markets are at stake!...296 more words left in this article.

Bob Smith Calls on Harry Reid to Bring Bill Seeking to Defund
Obama's Executive Amnesty Plan to the Senate Floor
Bedford (August 17, 2014) – Senator Bob Smith released the following statement today regarding efforts to halt President Obama's promise to implement amnesty via executive action:
I wholeheartedly support the efforts of Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) who is leading the fight to bring a House bill to the Senate floor that would defund DACA amnesty and as well as new attempts by the President to expand amnesty for immigrants who have come to our country illegally.
Such a bill, if passed the Senate, would stifle the President's ability to abandon the rule of law and reshape our country's immigration policy without the consent of the American people by way of their representatives in Congress.
I call on Majority Leader Harry Reid to bring this bill before the Senate and I urge my fellow Republican U.S. Senatorial candidates Scott Brown and Jim Rubens to join me in doing the same.

A CHURCH has pulled out buying the crumbling New Empire theatre in Southend - despite a £400,000 price drop.
The theatre was on the market for £1.15m, but owner Richard Shea has just slashed the price to £750,000.
Despite the drop the Southend Vineyard Church, which won planning permission to use the theatre as a place of worship at weekends, says it is still not interested.
The change of heart is down to the cost of renovating the dilapidated building, esimated as in excess of £2million, with church bosses saying it was in a much worse state than previously thought.
Sam Vincett, who runs the church with her husband Andy from its temporary base at Southend High School for Boys each Sunday, said: "We have pulled out because we believed it would be far too much work.
"We had someone look around it and discovered it was far worse than we thought. It has been broken into and flooded and people sleep rough in there.
"We had been given a cost to refurbish it as up to £2million, but that was before the further deterioration.
"We felt it was out of our range and that we could have built somewhere for what it might have cost us.
"We are still looking for new premises."
The church would have allowed the building to be used by community and theatre groups during the week.
Instead it has become a magnet for rough sleepers and vandals, a sad decline for the iconic theatre.
The theatre was run by Julie Robertson and a band of helpers as a community theatre for ten years until summer 2008 when a row over rent led to Mr Shea cancelling the lease. It has lain empty ever since.
Mrs Robertson said: "It is such a shame that it is going to rack and ruin.
"It has been empty for so long and the community has been without a wonderful facility for all that time.
"While we were there we maintained it and paid £25,000 a quarter rent.
"We even asked for an extension to find our rent one Christmas and Mr Shea refused even to meet us.
"Since then he has lost out on £100,000 and the building is crumbling. If he had let us stay for the four years remaining on our lease, he could have had all that rent and a going concern to put on the market now."
THE Empire Theatre opened in 1896 and was later run as a cinema – first the Rivoli and later the ABC.
After the twin-screen ABC cinema closed in 1997, businessman Richard Shea bought it and leased the building to the New Empire Theatre company through his company, Shea Properties.
In 2008, a rent row led to Mr Shea cancelling the lease, and the community theatre group moved out.
A year later, Shea Properties put forward proposals to use the theatre as a children's entertainment centre, but these were shelved and the property put on the market for £1.15million.
In June a cinema operator and a leisure group were said to be keen on taking over the building but a deal wasn't completed.
The Southend Vineyard Church first expressed an interest in taking over the theatre 18 months ago.
An application to use it as a place of worship was rubber-stamped by councillors in June. Now the group have pulled out.

|Squeeze dialog to minimum size
|Thomas Rock
|Sat, 15 Dec 2007 19:28:14 -0600
I have a QDialog object populated with QTextEdits, QLineEdits,
QListWidgets, QTreeWidgets and various buttons. When the dialog invokes,
it is not at it's minimum size. I am able to grab the edge of the
dialog with the mouse and shrink it to a minimum size.
How can I invoke the dialog so that it renders to its minimum size automatically, but is still resizeable?
I've tried various combinations of setMinimumSize() and setSizePolicy() with both fixed sizes and sizeHint() on both the dialog itself and its child widgets. All I've been able to achieve is a dialog the same size as before but not resizeable.
I'm using Qt 4.3.2 on Linux. Thanks, Tom -- To unsubscribe - send a mail to [email protected] with "unsubscribe" in the subject or the body. List archive and information: http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/

NEIGHBOURS of a former Burnley allotment have won their battle to save 30-year-old trees from the axe.
Chainsaw-wielding contractors for Lancashire County Council hopped down a number of "healthy" trees on the on the Queen's Road plot in January.
Residents branded the works "vandalism", and feared the remaining trees would be felled on the site which is up for sale for a potential housing development.
But pressure from neighbours and local councillors led Burnley Council to protect the trees on the county council-owned land.
The trees cannot now be harmed without permission from Burnley Council.
Tony Kalus, who lives on neighbouring Ebor Street: "This is great news. We've lived here for 30 years and in all that time we've had lovely views of the trees from our front windows.
"A few weeks ago, county council contractors turned up and started hacking mature trees to pieces. We were mortified. I rang Darren Reynolds, our local councillor, and asked him to help us." Lib Dem volunteer Martyn Hurt, who helped secure the victory, said: "Councils are not known for listening to residents, but I think Burnley Council has changed over the last five or six years. Now it listens and acts.
"It's not the first time it has put up a battle against other authorities on behalf of residents, but it is the first time it's been done over trees.
"With the law on their side, residents have won."
Coun Reynolds added: "The county council could learn a lot from Burnley Council. Since my political colleagues took over running Burnley Council, we've tried to change the way it works so it listens to people and responds. It hasn't been easy changing the habits of more than 40 years.
"The Preston-based County Council needs to change too. I think the best approach would be to abolish it and have home rule for Burnley."

In the summer of 2004, former WWE superstar Jeff Hardy inked a deal with TNA Wrestling, a move which caused some raised eyebrows in the world of professional wrestling. For one thing, TNA was not a widely known federation (at the time), and for another, Hardy had attributed his release as a way for him to pursue his passion of becoming a "rock-n-roll" star. Not surprisingly, his return, first in the ROH and then to TNA itself, was not met with the greatest enthusiasm from his former fans, who thought he had turned his back to them when he left the business of pro wrestling.
What was surprising, however, was the renewed dedication with which he returned to action. Despite having not been in a ring for more than an entire year, after a time, Hardy was able to shake off the rust and continue to give his old fans a reason to love him again. Even his toughest critics had to admit he was well on his way to making "a Judas Priest-style" comeback. The higher-ups at TNA gave him a major push as well, although the moves they made may not have been the most well thought out. Having him wrestle AJ Styles in a dream match-up for the X-division title, and then have not one, but two NWA Heavyweight title shots, and lose each one of them made Hardy look like a prima donna looking for a handout. If TNA intended to make him into the next big babyface, they had the exact opposite effect. Hardy steadily lost popularity with all but his most loyal fans, and thus was bumped down the card, engaging in an odd feud with the monster Abyss, which teased with the idea of another title shot but ultimately succeeded in landing Hardy on the receiving end of some vicious beatings.
So when Abyss was busy actually chasing the real prize, Jeff Hardy was stuck in what appeared to be a no win situation: on one hand, if in the unlikely event he was given another shot, it would only appear to come in the form of a handout; on the other hand, staying out of the title race would leave him stuck in the "abyss", sinking lower and lower on the card until he faded into obscurity. Enter the Raven.
What began as a simple request refusal on Impact escalated in a match many fans had been waiting for, but thought could never happen: Jeff Hardy taking on Raven in not only a Table match, but a Table Cage match at Lockdown. The match was fantastic, both competitors were able to put each other over in the fans eyes, and a rematch was scheduled for the next PPV, Hard Justice. It was to be Hardy versus Raven, this time in a match of Raven's own making. A House of Fun match, in which nobody was likely to walk out of it happy except the fans. So they waited, and waited, and finally May 15 rolled around, and to everyone's surprise, Jeff Hardy no-showed.
No one knew what had happened, although they knew that the match would have to continue, so they thrust Sean Waltman onto the card and offered no explanation, except to say that Hardy would be suspended until further notice. The King of the Mountain match, of which many thought was better than the first, took off with five competitors instead of six. The fans of the Enigmatic One were left shocked and disappointed, once again.
So now, it seems, Hardy's future as a main-eventer has been put in jeopardy, and he has no one to blame but himself.
It was thought that after Slammiversery Hardy would be brought back in a potential Hardy Boyz reunion, another fan fantasy, with the release of his brother Matt from WWE, and that maybe he could be forgiven and welcomed back. As of this writing, however, Matt Hardy has appeared on WWE's RAW, and is currently working shows in the ROH. So, TNA must decide what to do with the, in both the good and bad sense of the word, unpredictable superstar. Granted, he has proven himself to be wavering in his commitment to the wrestling business, but he has also proven that he can electrify the crowds like no other, whether it be with his unique style, his unique finisher the Swanton Bomb, or his unique desire to leap off of tall objects onto his opponent, and thus, deserves to be given that much credit.
So the questions that must be asked is simply this: " What will the ultimate consequences of Hardy's actions be"" "Will his return spark forgiveness, or ignite angry"", and finally " When will the next time be when the Enigma himself graces the squared circle with his presence""

Island Time Sailing Cruises
- 3605 Thomas Drive
- Panama City Beach, FL 32408
The "Island Time" is a beautiful sleek 50-foot long, 30-foot wide sailing catamaran located in Panama City Beach, Florida since 1999. She is Coast Guard certified to carry up to 78 passengers, equipped with two restrooms and a snack bar. The proud and dedicated crew and staff of the "Island Time" have been with the company for years and are always excited to show off our beautiful natural resources. We sincerely hope you join us so you can experience the amazing activities our local waters have to offer. See why we love our jobs!
The most action-packed tour is our "Snorkel & Splash Adventure Cruise", where you can embrace what the day brings! It is 3.5 hours of fun in the sun! It could be a wild dolphin encounter, watching dolphins and learning about their habits, or possibly swimming with dolphins in the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Then we'll take you to the beautiful St. Andrews Bay where we will find the day's best spot for more fun. You can snorkel for seashells and catch a glimpse of the underwater world, learn about local sea-life, or just relax with a water noodle and take in the sun. And we are excited to announce the newest additions to our cruise: an on-board water slide for everyone's enjoyment as well as an introduction to paddle boarding! We always hope the conditions will line up just right so we are able to do all of the above, but the itinerary is based on the weather and conditions for your safety and enjoyment. This cruise is just as laid-back and relaxing as it is fun, with upbeat music playing in the background and games and dancing on our way back to the dock. So let loose and let the experienced captain and crew show you some Island Time fun! Check with us for departure times or make a reservation online. Snorkel gear is included. You may bring your own picnic lunch (no coolers or drinks, just light food/snacks). We sell drinks and snacks at the snack bar as well. This cruise is $39+tax for adults, $29+tax for children 3 & under, and $34 for riders not planning to get in the water.
We also offer the "Sunset Sailing Cruise" to end the day in a perfect way! Enjoy a 2 hour relaxing and fun-filled sailing cruise, perfect for couples or families. First we cruise and sight see through the calm waters of Grand Lagoon, past the marinas, state park, and beautiful homes. We'll then see if the beautiful emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico are calm enough for a leisurely sail. There we keep our fingers crossed for those romantic red fire sunsets over the picturesque background of the beautiful waters. And while dolphins are usually plentiful, it is a special treat to see them jump out of the water while chasing fish or a baby dolphin briskly swimming by its mom. Even our locally based crew gets excited for those special occasions! If the Gulf is too rough we will sail the vast beautiful waters of the St. Andrews Bay to enjoy an amazing sunset and search for dolphins. The whole cruise is enjoyable with fun music playing throughout and the entertaining crew keeping the fun going after the sun goes down with dancing and games. The cost for adults is $25+tax, kids 4-12 are $20+tax, and children 3 & under are free (free kids are still included in the passenger count, so be sure to let us know how many).
Departure times vary, so be sure to call or check our website closer to time. You must reserve over the phone or book online. Reservations can be done over the phone until 2 hours before the trip, but book as early as possible in case we fill up. Online booking closes at least 24 hours prior to the trip, after which you must call for a reservation if we have availability. Trip times are subject to change due to weather and minimums. We accept Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. We are located at the Treasure Island Marina at 3605 Thomas Drive, Panama City Beach, Florida 32408. If you're traveling with a large group (20 or more) talk to the manager to get price quotes for group rates and private charters.
