Trick or Treat Stations
Food Allergy Info:
Guests with food allergies can get a special teal bag that will designate them as having an allergy (teal is the color that represents food allergy awareness). These bags can be picked up at Market Street, City Hall, Heritage House, Town Square Theater, or any of the trick or treat locations. At the trick or treat stations, these guests will get a teal token, which can be redeemed for allergy-friendly treats and non-food items at Heritage House and Town Square Theater. These are also the places to stop with any questions about the process.
City Hall will not be passing out allergy-friendly candy this year as they have done in the past.

City willing to trump Chelsea in the bidding for Villa
Agüero, Tévez, Dzeko and Balotelli don't appear to be enough to satisfy the demands of Mancini, who is said to be keen on 'El Guaje' after his team's latest defeat.
Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea aren't David Villa's only suitors in the winter transfer market. Manchester City appear to be ready to enter the bidding with a show of strength, according to reports in the English press. The 'Daily Star' published that the blue half of Manchester are as interested in the Barcelona striker as their London rivals Chelsea, an interesting revelation indeed, taking into account the strikers already at City.
Agüero, Tévez, Dzeko and Balotelli don't appear to be enough for Roberto Mancini, who is closer to the brink every day. After his latest stumble in the Premier, away to Sunderland, the Italian coach had harsh words for his players and in particular his front line. "We need to change something, something needs to be done", said the 48 year old from Iesi. The press consider that this "something" could well include the purchase of Villa.
The 'Daily Mail', another English newspaper, also revealed today that Barcelona have announced the amount required to sign Villa, nothing less than 19.5 million euros, which is considerably more than the 14 million Chelsea are believed to be considering.

Edensoy Original, Organic
Edensoy was the first soymilk I ever tasted and it remains my favorite for plain soymilk. (I have tried robably 30 different brands since then.) Edensoy is organic, does not have loads of added sugar, and is high in anti-oxidant flavanoids and soy protein. Totally delicious and recommended was to go w/cereal, esepecially Kahi Puffs. If you don't like super-sweet drinks but do like a good creaminess and nutty flavor, definitely get some Edensoy Organic Plain.
Quinoa is an ancient grain with light texture, like cous cous, great flavor, and it cooks in just 20 minutes. I like using this as a substitute for bulgar wheat in tabbouleh salad.Tags: fitness, diet, health foods, protein, healthy, fit, diet foods, grain, quinoaAdded 10 Years Ago from Edenfoods

Summary Edit
As the Green clansmen view the slate, Sukuna Gojo and Saruhiko Fushimi bicker about their roles, only to be hit over the head by Yukari Mishakuji telling them to stop bickering between one another. Sukuna runs off to talk with Nagare, Fushimi comments about how strange the group is having two clansmen, two kings, and a parrot. Yukari questions Fushimi, seeing how this will be how the new world will most likely seem now. After Reisi is fired from the position of Captain by the Prime Minister Seri Awashima is soon dismissed by the minister to show that Scepter 4 is only on stand by from now on. Shiro comes to a conclusion to stop the slates by completely destroying it with a Damocles down. Anna Kushina visits Shiro and eventually returns to HOMRA with the news.
Reisi Munakata enter the bar and begins to talk about the past, comparing himself to Mikoto Suoh before his Damocles down. Anna says that he is nothing like Mikoto, reverting to a flashback of the two fighting on the roofs and streets. Reisi after a light shock, leaves subtly. Shiro sets down three silver objects, stating that these will be their new insignias. Kuro is handed the job of deciding the name, White Rice Party from the rice that they normally eat, later playing a quote from Ichigen Miwa.
Both at the same time, Yashiro and Anna get extreme headaches as the Green clan releases the power of the slates full blast, a huge light emits from the secret base and into the sky. Reisi heads towards it, looking back as he thinks he hears Mikoto Suoh.

Pages and page numbers are just a solution to a problem (essentially how to you manage a very long scroll). Likewise, things like footnotes, endnotes, citation numbers, etc. are a solution to the problem of how to include "non-linear" information that can generally be ignored in the "narrative" of the text. Now we have better technology, so the solutions will change.
That said, it will take time for people to move away from the page number concept. I think technical and scientific will move away far faster, and from what DixieGal has said, they already are. In the more conventional area, people feel more comfortable with the idea of a page number (23 pages to go till the end of the chapter, etc.), so that will remain.
As to finding passages, etc., that should be much easier with the idea of bookmarks, etc.
(Incidentally, page number references are only useful if you have the exact right edition of the book. I remember some chaos at school when a new cheaper edition of a set text was introduced, resulting in two sets of page numbers....)

This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
I used to have a lot of time to knit, and I often made blankets and other elaborated hand-knits for every baby that popped up in my family and circle of friends. But as time went by, my knitting time became very limited, and also, it seems that more and more babies are on their way! So I had to come up with something that I could knit in one weekend.
I have already gifted a bunch of these and mothers seem to love them! So I went ahead and wrote down the pattern. I hope you enjoy it!
This pattern is in honor of my first nephew, who is going to be born and join us in June: Felipe…
Thank you Mary (Buffoo) for the wonderful mods for the "flat" version!

The United States said Tuesday that Russia is ignoring "the facts" in Syria when it accuses the rebels of carrying out the August 21 chemical weapons attack near Damascus.
The exchange of words takes place just as US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov came to an agreement [2] to rid Syria of chemical weapons by mid 2014.
Earlier this week, a report released by the UN categorically said that chemical weapons were used in Syria on August 21 [3]. The report did not specifically blame the Syria government. However, the size of the munitions and the direction from which they were fired seemed to suggest that the Assad regime was responsible for the attack. The UN Chief Ban Ki-moon has said that the report made for a "chilling reading [4]."
"He's swimming against the tide of international public opinion, but more importantly, the facts," State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said of Lavrov according to an article in Naharnet [5].
The U.N. report, "confirms unequivocally that chemical weapons, including the nerve agent sarin, were used in Syria. We all know that. But based on our preliminary view of information contained in the report, several crucial details confirmed the Assad regime's guilt in carrying out this attack," Psaki said.

AHi all,
I am a licensed custom caker. I have decided I need to upgrade my pans as many of them are from when I first started baking and are either the celebrate-it pans or Wilton pans from michaels. I have bought some fat daddio pans and quite like them but keep hearing all about magic line pans. Can you offer some opinions? Which are better? Also, I am a 2" pan kinda girl:) looking forward to hearing your opinions!
AHi, I never tried Fat Daddios pans but I have Magic Line pans. I am extremely in love with them. Cakes bake evenly even without the strip, they are sturdy. I also love the square pans with sharp and crisp edges. I would not change them for anything. However, before upgrading to Magic line, I did some research and heard about the same thing about Fat Daddios. My opinion is that you need to try both of them to know your own baking preference.
I love my Fat Daddio tins; have an 8in square and about 5 round tins in various sizes (I think they're 3 in deep). I find they bake my mud cakes evenly, are easy to clean and they're so durable. The square tin doesn't have super sharp corners but you can achieve sharp edges once the cake is ganached and covered in fondant. Best of luck.
I'm a magic line gal...but I think Fat Daddio is a good brand too. As long as the square & rectangle pans have razor sharp corners, I would then shop for the best price.

Hey folks. I thought I would give an outline of what I want to do and get for my YouTube channel in the not-too-distant future.
I'll update this post as things get bought/set up.
- Better Lighting
Status: DONE! Better lighting provided via a couple of LED lamps. Thanks to Mint Plays!
- Better Webcam Video Quality
Status: Ongoing. I have a Logitech C920 Webcam at the moment. Since I've recently started doing gameplay videos in 60fps, this would allow me to have my face cam footage at the same framerate. Also the quality would be ever so slightly better.
- Green Screen for News Bit
Status: Not Yet. I figure I can probably get a good enough effect with just a green screen since I have decent lighting. As soon as I can get the money, this is a top priority.
- System Upgrade
Status: Partial. I recently acquired 32GB of DDR3 RAM thanks to Mint Plays!. I still plan on upgrading my system to a DDR4/AMD "Zen" set up early 2017. At least now I have enough RAM to render videos and not have to close Chrome or risk losing work.
I'm definitely still looking forward to those new AMD chips. Having 8 high performance cores is going to be very nice for rendering and the silly way in which I record videos using two separate copies of OBS. (If you'd like me to do a video demonstrating that, let me know.)
- Ask DavidGX Videos
Status: Too Soon? I'd like to do a regular, or perhaps semi-regular, "Ask DavidGX" where people submit questions and I answer them. I've put out a call for questions to my Ask.fm page but haven't gotten much response. Anonymous questions are enabled so if I get enough (maybe 10 answerable questions) I'll do a video answering them. This might just be a thing I have to wait to do until I have a larger audience.
- Live Streams
Status: Not Yet. I'd like to do more live streams. But, again, this may be something I'm forced to wait on until I have a larger audience. I've messed around with streaming a little bit on my Twitch Channel and it's gone fairly well. I'm still not sure if I should primarily stream on YouTube or Twitch. I'm thinking Twitch since it's best not to have all your eggs in one basket. But this is something that will be decided once I have a bigger audience.

Scouting Report: Assistant Coach John Hackworth Breaks Down South Korea
The U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team is only one day away from facing the Korea Republic in its first game of the 2003 FIFA Under-17 World Championship on August 14. The match will take place at 5:30 p.m. local time / 10:30 a.m. ET and will be broadcast same-day delay on Galavision at 1 p.m. ET. Fans can also follow the match live at 10:30 a.m. ET on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker, presented by Philips Electronics. Prior to the match, U.S. assistant coach John Hackworth took a moment to break down South Korea in this scouting report.
Playing South Korea in our opening match of the World Championship is going to be an extremely difficult task. Similar to the U.S., Korea has risen in terms of world football the last couple of years, which was evident last year when their men's national squad advanced all the way to the semifinals of the World Cup. The biggest reason both the U.S. and Korea have been able to emerge onto soccer's world stage is their dedication to developing youth players, and Thursday's match will pit the next generation for both countries against each other in a classic match-up.
As a team, South Korea is very tactically organized and disciplined. It is difficult to outwork the Koreans as they will put a team under immediate and intense pressure from the opening whistle. While they are well known for their tremendous work rate, I also feel Korea is much more technical than the soccer world gives them credit for.
In general, they usually play a 4-4-2. However, when the Koreans are on the attack, they get numbers forward and look to be in a 2-4-4 alignment. They push the outside backs and midfielders forward in an effort to stretch the defense high and wide. The mobility of the Koreans is definitely something that we will have to deal with in order to be successful.
While they may bring numbers into the attack, they don't get caught to often in counter-attacks as they are diligent about getting the ball back immediately if they lose it. On defense they like to put immediate pressure on the ball and aren't shy about being physical if it's deemed necessary.
The biggest thing we will have to make sure our players do a good job of is not getting caught ball watching. The Koreans are an unselfish team that creates good rhythm in possession and then quickly changes the point of attack. They look to play the ball up, back, then up the field to a streaking player. Because of this you can't get caught ball watching or they will be able to find the open man and penetrate.
We saw this first hand when we played South Korea at the Busan International U-17 Youth Tournament in Busan, South Korea in late May. During the match, they broke us down with some good ball movement and our guys got caught ball watching. Even though they never scored on those chances, they were able to get good looks. We ended up losing that game 3-0, giving up all the goals in the second half. While the first goal was off a penalty kick, the next two were due to poor clearances from our backline. Against Korea you can't give them any additional opportunities because they will take advantage every time.
At kickoff nears, we feel that we have prepared well. We have played several warm-up matches against teams that have similar styles of play to the Koreans and worked hard on correcting our mistakes from our previous meeting. The boys are focused and ready to play. Hopefully, this time we will be able to get a different result and put ourselves in a good position to advance out of our group.

By JAKE CHASTAIN
| This week on Fist-Ta-Cuff Radio our boys invited Alliance MMA coach, Bellator commentator, and former King of the Cage heavyweight/ mixed martial artist Manny Rodriguez onto the show. During his segment on the show Rodriguez touched on several topics ranging from Bellator's upcoming summer shows, his coaching role at Alliance MMA, and his job as a Bellator commentator. Here are some of the highlights from that interview this past Sunday on BJPenn.com's Fist-Ta-Cuff Radio:
First, Manny talked about being home and his role in helping coach the guys at Alliance MMA in Chula Vista, California:
"It's great. The guys, like you said, I mean, some of the best up and coming stars, some champions, a little bit of everything, you know? Some great up-and-comers that are fighting on the regional circuit, and it's just a family. So when I'm on the road I miss going down there, and uh, yeah man, it's just fun to be back and be able to be there. I'm there a couple days a week when I'm home and, I mean, Eric is great. He's a great head coach and he's been a good friend for a long time. Back when he was doing the Total Combat stuff we had our group of guys down here, they had their group of guys down there and that's kind of how the friendship started and uh, it's been great, you know? I obviously got to get beat up by "The Punisher" Jason Lambert for a number of years and I developed, uh, you know, kind of his style against the fence and that's what I'm able to help guys work on; their wrestling and their wrestling defense there and it's nice. It's really good. An uh, it just keeps me in the game."
He then spoke about why he still loves to coach and commentate for Bellator FC:
"That's actually a really funny story but the reason why I still coach is actually because of Shawn Tompkins. He and I became good friends and I actually started training, like stand-up coaching, with him like years and years ago. I was just getting burnt-out. I got tired of some guys that I thought were super talented that just didn't have the focus. You know, you got guys like Dominick Cruz and you have to yell at him to get out of the gym and then you have other guys that you feel are just as athletic and just as capable but you can't get them in the gym to save your life. And then Shawn was like, 'hey , you know what, you just spent so much time, you know, so much energy in your life trying to develop these skill, you know, it would be a shame not to pass them on. So that's why I do it. It's a way for me to feel, just help the evolution of the sport. Like, I've learned so much, like Eric, Eric has learned so much, we've spent so much time working on skills it would be a shame to let them die."
Rodriguez was then asked if his job in commentating helps him with his with coaching:
"You hit it on the head but it's backwards. Because when I was coaching, and I've been coaching forever and training, I was watching so much video that it was really easy to make the transition to commentating because you're watching video and you're trying to give insight as to what is going on and how you can change what is going on, you know, in a coaching aspect, and uh, it just made it really easy."
"Every coach in the sport is just watching a ton of vide. I mean, in any type of combat sport that's all you do, so it just makes it really easy. I just watch live fights and I have my little monitor cage side."
Rodriguez was then asked if he watched old seasons of the Bellator tourney to get ready to commentate for the upcoming seasons:
"Yeah. Basically I'm watching fights 24/7, basically. I get texts from different people that I know in the sport and they give me names and I scout up-and-comers and then I go back and watch guys that I know are going to be in this tournament and go back and watch their old fights just to see what they do, see maybe what they can change because you always hear interviews with guys that are like, 'oh, I've been working on this,' and, you know, you want to see how that fits into their game."
Because Rodriguez is so involved in MMA he was then asked if he ever get tired or burnt out on being around fighting:
"Sometimes I get tired of, like, fight day. You know? Because fight day is long. When you're not fighting it's the longest day every, you know? Especially if you have, you know, a friend fighting or a kid you're coaching because you guys have to focus for so long on fifteen minutes that the fifteen minutes is part of the twenty-four hour day and it's just, uh, it's nerve racking, so that gets kind of old. But, of the sport? No. No, man. I love martial arts. Like I said, man, I've been doing jiu-jitsu, this is a jiu-jitsu weekend, you know, so I've been watching the World's, um, but I've been doing so many martial arts for so long that I just never get tired of it. There's always something new that I see someone doing that I wonder if I can fit that into what I'm doing or what I'm teaching, or if it works good for one of the guys, you know? Because everyone fights differently, everyone has a different body type. You know, I was a midget heavyweight so I had to get inside on people. I uh, yeah, I had to keep my head moving, you know what I mean? I didn't have a great jab which is one of those things you have to modify; techniques and strategies for different body types and personalities. So I think that's what keeps it interesting for me. Keeps it fresh."
And because he is a coach and former fighter/training partner to many of the fighters in Bellator's roster he was asked if it was hard to stay unbiased when commentating a friend or training partner's fight:
"I mean, when I first started in commentary it was the hardest thing in the world. It really was because, like, I think that was one of the early conversations I even had with Bjorn [Rebney], you know. It was, you know, a lot of these guys are personal friends of mine and, uh, you can't be biased because that's not fair for anybody. It's not fair for my guys, it's not fair for their opponents. But I've kind of learned over the years and I'm actually, if anything, I'm kind of biased the other way. Like, I talk about the other guys more just because I know, you know? But it's really hard emotionally. Half the time I just want to hit the cough-button and just coach. It's really hard not to do that."

What News Corp COO Chase Carey recently called the "world's worst kept secret" — Fox's still-unannounced plans to turn its Speed channel into a national general sports network called Fox Sports 1 — just became a little less mysterious. In response to a question on CNBC about reports that he'll host a show on the new service, Regis Philbin said "all I can tell you is this: There'll be a major announcement coming out next Tuesday." Well, what do you know? The Fox Sports Media Group has an upfront presentation scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. Anyone want to put odds on what Fox will announce? Sports Business Daily reported that Philbin was negotiating to lead a panel, much like Barbara Walters' The View, that will focus on sports.
Regis Philbin Promises "Major Announcement" With Fox Sports Next Week
15 Comments
And the nation yawned.
Jimmy, this was your deal. I miss you.
Oh yeah..I want My sports info in a talk format hosted by Regis and maybe Joe Theismann as Meredith, Amhad Rashaad (as Star Jones) Manti Teo as (Lisa Ling) and Bruce Yananch as (Joy Behar)
Going after the 50+ I see.
Espn #1
You people crack me up, posting as if you think YOU are never going to get old!
This is a business — don't take these things personally.
That idea worked just as much as ESPN on ABC has been since 2006.
What's he going to host? OLD MAN CHESS IN THE PARK
Nice to see Regis back in the swing of things – I'm sure he turned down many other offers [probably good and bad] to try to find something that he was really excited about. He loves sports.
This show and network are not going to take on ESPN, and I'm sure that's not their intent. Nevertheless, this show is a good start in the right direction. For the casual fan, Regis' genuine love of the game will be welcome to viewers and a nice diversion from the day-to-day grind. If I was starting my own network, one of the first people I'd call is Regis. Well liked, well respected – all round good guy.
He was hatched from an egg in Area 51 then escaped
So what's gonna to the NASCAR channel speed was good when they had the wrc and gp
Hundreds of truly talented men and women covering sports across the country and the best Fox can do is haul out this ancient, talentless clown, who has no connection to sports ? No wonder Fox's news numbers are headed south. New York just doesn't get that there's a whole country out there, west of the Hudson River, that got sick of Regis a long time ago. Kelly's numbers are way up since he left. This is exhibit A in why the average person just doesn't like tv the way they used to.
Fox has a whole new league that is developing in college sports. 7 Catholic schools ditched the Big East Conference to form a new basketball league, all under Fox's hand. They're pitching the new league, which just added 2 new schools, the right's to "Big East" and the use of Madison Square Garden for their tournament today.
OOOhhh 7 Catholic schools…no one cares about these little east coast schools with no names. Must be a big draw in Vermont!
Comedy and sports work very well together. Regis is funnier than most hosts and I'll check it out.

Playing for keeps: Hull City seek to sign Ryan from MarinersDominic Bossi
Published: November 15 2012 - 4:16PM
Central Coast Mariners goalkeeper Mat Ryan could be on his way to the United Kingdom after Hull City submitted a bid to sign the youngster in the January transfer window.
The Mariners have confirmed that they have been tabled an offer from the English Championship team which includes an attractive transfer fee and a reported three-year deal for the 20-year-old goalkeeper.
A number of European clubs have expressed their interest in signing the highly rated goalkeeper but, as of yet, only Hull has made an offer. Ryan trialled with English Premier League clubs Tottenham Hotspur and West Bromwich Albion during the A-League break and was forced to cancel a short trial with Wigan due to a shoulder injury.
Ryan is in the last year of his contract with the Mariners and is eligible to leave on a free transfer at the end of the season. Unless he signs a new deal with Central Coast, the January transfer window is the last opportunity for the Mariners to cash in on their keeper.
Hull City are in the hunt for promotion to the English Premier League and currently sit in fourth place on the Championship table.

The health trust and the banking executives said there was little chance accounts were at risk.
An inquiry is under way to establish how the computer which contained the personal information was taken.
Angela Huxham, from the trust, said they have hired a company to ensure bank accounts were not defrauded.
Workers have been told to contact their banks, change PIN numbers and passwords and keep an eye on bank statements.
The trust said no patient information was stored on the computer which was password protected.

Chris Robinson Brotherhood Have Sophmore Effort Ready To Roll
You can't accuse Chris Robinson of running in place. Just over a month after the release of 'Big Moon Ritual,' the debut album from the Chris Robinson Brotherhood, he and his own merry pranksters have announced their follow up is waiting in the wings. 'The Magic Door' will be released on Sept. 11 on the Silver Arrow label.
The songs come from the same sessions that produced 'Big Moon Ritual,' and were also produced by Thom Monahan, known for his work with such modern day folkies as Vetiver and Devendra Banhart. "Thom had encouraged us to remain true to the arrangements we had been playing all year on the road." said Robinson, "We inevitably had some longer pieces and felt that the performances were strong enough that we didn't want to edit them for any extraneous reasons."
Chris says he realized "within the first two days" of recording, that there was enough material for two albums. Certainly nothing new for Robinson, as his other band, the Black Crowes, also have a history of recording more than will fit on the plate.
'The Magic Door' will contain seven songs, including a cover of Hank Ballard's 'Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go,' a song the band has featured regularly in their live shows. As they travel that road that bends and turns with improvisation and free from playing, Robinson and Neal Casal employ some heady guitar interplay at times. "I look at music as a conversation," he said, "and Neal's a very eloquent speaker on guitar and I'm just trying to keep the conversation interesting."

A PROCESSION of blind and partially-sighted people took place through Bournemouth town centre.
Bournemouth Lions Club and Guide Dogs joined forces to mark the importance of World Sight Day and were joined by the Mayor of Bournemouth, Cllr Phil Stanley-Watts.
Around 30 people came together to walk down Old Christchurch Road into the Square, with some who were blind or partially-sighted and aided by guide dogs and walking sticks, whilst others were blindfolded for the experience.
Barbara Jeremiah from Bournemouth Lions, said: "We are raising awareness of blindness because of Helen Keller, a Canadian woman who did a lot for educating people about being blind, and she encouraged the Lions to become 'knights of the blind'.
"She said that not only should we help people that are blind, but we should inform people about it, to prevent others from becoming blind, if we can.
"Not many people know that the Lions funded the first training school for guide dogs, and we also introduced the white stick."
The Lions Club of Bournemouth also had a stand in the Square, where they were handing out leaflets and offering diabetes tests, which for some can be the cause of their loss of sight.
Lauren Williams, community fundraiser for Guide Dogs, said: "As part of Guide Dog Week, which is running from October 6 to October 13, we came up with the idea of Walk My Way, where people can experience being in the shoes of a blind person.
She added: "From birth, the puppies have been reared, to go through special training to become a guide dog. Throughout the life of a guide dog, it will cost around £50,000 from birth through to their retirement, and we don't receive any government funding, so it is all purely through donations.
"There's a lot of misunderstanding around being blind, such as people thinking that once you become blind, your life is over, which isn't the case because you still go to work, have a social life and do all the normal things like getting around."

Valero Hopes Gas Shortages Will Stop
Spot gasoline shortages in Colorado expected to end with production boosts.
HOUSTON -- Valero Energy Corp., petroleum refiner and marketer headquartered here, is crossing its fingers that spot gasoline shortages in its market will end when supply is boosted by the startup of a closed Texas refinery that is going back into production, Reuters reported.
In late March, a number of Diamond Shamrock stations supplied by Valero in the Denver and Colorado Springs area of Colorado ran out of gasoline because of the closed refinery, according to local newspaper reports. Signs at the stations read ''Sorry, Out of Fuel,'' according to a report in the Colorado Springs Gazette. Out of the 30 Diamond Shamrock stations in the area, seven were out of fuel, three had all pumps available and the remainder were out of some fuel grades, the newspaper stated.
"There is no reason to panic, there is plenty of fuel," Eric Escudero, spokesman for AAA Colorado, said at the time, adding that the shortages were confined to the Diamond Shamrock brand.
Valero's 170,000 barrel-per-day refinery in Sunray, Texas, closed as a result of a Feb. 16 fire. The company expects to restore some production to the refinery in the first half of April, Reuters reported.
"In the meantime, we have been working very hard to purchase supply from other terminals to meet our needs," Valero spokesman Bill Day said in a statement. "We are currently supplying our network as quickly as possible, and are hopeful that this issue will be completely resolved soon.''
"We apologize for any inconvenience anyone may have experienced from these outages," Day added.
The refinery also supplies gasoline to Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.

Cal Smith Dead at 81
Country singer Cal Smith has passed away. He was 81 years old.
The Oklahoma native, best known for his 1974 hit, 'Country Bumpkin,' died Thursday (Oct. 10) in Branson, Mo.
Smith had several other hits to his credit, including his version of Bill Anderson's song 'The Lord Knows I'm Drinking,' 'It's Time to Pay the Fiddler' and 'I've Found Someone of My Own.'
'Country Bumpkin' was the CMA Single of the Year and Song of the Year, and the ACM Single of the Year.
Born Calvin Grant Shofner in Gans, Okla., the former truck driver worked as a disc jockey before he began his illustrious music career by performing in Ernest Tubb's Texas Troubadours in 1961. He recorded 16 albums in his career. His last album, 'Stories of Life,' was released in 1986.
According to Nashville's Tennessean newspaper, he spent his later years with his wife, Darlene. But even in retirement he helped bring about a career revival for Loretta Lynn, whose 2004 album 'Van Lear Rose' was produced by White Stripes front man Jack White. The album featured 'Portland, Oregon,' a duet between White and Lynn that was inspired by a long-ago night when Lynn and Smith had a drink together at a Portland Holiday Inn.
Smith is survived by his Darlene, five children and 15 great-grandchildren.
The Boot extends our condolences to his family.

A Successful Data Center Migration Depends on its Migration Plan.
Data Center Migration Plan
A company's Data Center environment is at the heart of its enterprise. It is the hub of the network which enables the transfer of personal, financial and business data to carry out a variety of functions, some directly tied to revenue generating efforts. So, when faced with challenges or limitations existing in a business' in-house IT environment or outsourced environment, maintained and/or managed by a Data Center provider, migrating to a new facility is a common practice.
Data Center Migration is a process that holds multiple meanings. It can apply both to a Data Center service provider itself and to its tenants. For a Data Center company, migration involves the relocation to either a local, regional or national center. Whether the provider owns and operates its facility or simply rents space within a larger environment, Data Center migration involves relocating the business' entire IT infrastructure to a new facility. Data Center Migration, as it applies to OnRamp's business, involves moving newly acquired customers to one of our state-of-the-art Data Center facilities.
Although Data Center migration can present a number of challenges for a business whose entire operation relies on the performance and uptime of its IT systems, there are numerous reasons that businesses choose to move their IT environment. A business' decision to migrate to a new Data Center can stem from a desire to reduce costs, to add greater efficiency to its IT systems, to meet certain regulatory requirements pertaining to private information or to employ new technologies to enhance performance and capabilities.
No matter the catalyst for migration, it is imperative that organizations take the right steps from the beginning. A carefully planned Data Center migration can ensure a seamless transition of your company's sensitive data or physical equipment, and does not have to interrupt day-to-day business operations.
The Process
Successful Data Center migration starts with an assessment of the current Data Center environment, business needs and objectives. Audit your current IT infrastructure to reveal gaps in documentation or processes that need to be addressed. This often includes evaluating backup and recovery plans, emergency mode operation plans, and an understanding of how the technology infrastructure supports various business operations. Consider both the existing and future IT architecture, data capacities and a full inventory of the needs of your growing business.
Next, locate, identify and document each individual asset and its relationship to the entire environment. This will help ensure service delivery needs are met and minimize the risk of lost data, equipment and ultimately time.
Once these steps are complete, migration to your new Data Center facility can begin.
Migrating to an OnRamp Data Center
Whether you are migrating physical IT equipment or transitioning a production environment to a new managed hosting facility, a proper data migration can be focused, quick, and pain-free for business operations. OnRamp's highly trained engineers provide Full7Layer Support throughout the migration process and are available to help every step of the way.
For instances where data is being transferred from one hosted environment to OnRamp, our team can create a cloud-based replica of your existing environment to avoid disruptions to your business and enable a seamless transition. When a physical transfer of servers is required, our team has experience all the way from the installation of servers and equipment to the configuration of that equipment and can serve as your remote hands throughout the process.
The Benefits of Data Center Migration
In the end, a successfully executed Data Center migration can result in several benefits for the company or organization:
- Enable a business to bolster its security
- Improve the management of data, users and processes
- Enhance data backup and recovery initiatives
- Prompt the evaluation and realignment of compliance initiatives
Because of OnRamp's depth and breadth of Data Center Services, customers are more likely to migrate their IT environment to our Data Center facilities to deploy hybrid computing solutions built on Cloud-Delivered computing capacity, Managed Hosting and Colocation services.

Partial source: Wrestling Observer
- Despite all the negative attention he has been receiving lately, Hulk Hogan has been receiving a lot of non-wrestling offers due to him hosting the new season of American Gladiators on NBC.
- As previously posted, Vince McMahon's decision to put Jonathan Coachman on the SmackDown announcing team came as a surprise to many within the company. WWE kept the news very quiet leading up until the SmackDown tapings last weekend. Most of SmackDown's top stars wanted Tazz to replace JBL as Tazz and Michael Cole had pretty good chemistry before Tazz went over to ECW in 2006. Coachman got mixed reactions on his first SmackDown broadcast and WWE officials understand that it is a work in progress.
- WWE's "Triumph and Tragedy of World Class Championship Wrestling" DVD debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top 10 Recreational Sports listings for the week ending on 1/5. The John Cena DVD came in at #2 while the HBK DVD followed at #3. Rey Mysterio's DVD dropped down to #7 with the WrestleMania 23 DVD coming in at #8.

Ryan W.wrote a review of Burton Grail Snowboard Boot - Men's on January 9, 2011
Great Boots
First day on them and they are great! I'm just an average Joe that works a 9 to 5 and rides almost once a week in the winter. These Grails are soooo comfy; they actually got more comfortable as the day grew longer. I was really whinny about my feet hurting before this. By the end of today with these new 2011 Grails, I couldn't even tell I had boots on. Good heel hold too, skinny ankles man. Cushing in the soles are great, I hit some really ruff, choppy, in the trees today and they handled perfectly. I was able to balance through all of it with no shock to feet or ankles. Landed all of 9 out of 10 jumps today and the cushioning in these boots are for real. They look great and even feel better. I was riding 32 prions before these, like the other fellow replied they do crap on 32. Also, I was wearing a 10 in 32 and bought these grails in a 10, they fit perfectly if not better. The boots seem very light in weight. Oh yeah, DogFunk is great. Excellent customer service, they are very knowledgeable and have quick service. DogFunk is where I bought my 2011 Grails. Also, I just bought a pair of bindings online like 1 hour ago and I bought them from DogFunk.com.

The market for executive/VIP helicopters is growing, according to Eurocopter representatives here at EBACE, but the biggest challenge to sales is still cultural.
"We must first educate the market that the executive helicopter does not replace the business jet, but rather complements it," said Dominique Orbec, Eurocopter vice president of marketing. "If a traveler gains two hours by flying on a business jet from Paris to New York, but loses that two hours at both ends getting to and from the airport because of traffic on the ground, what's the point? With a helicopter, that time can be saved."
Another obstacle is the perception that helicopters are not as safe as business jets. "The problem is, most helicopter accident statistics don't separate corporate from utility operations. You don't see business jets logging timber or landing on platforms in the North Sea," Orbec told EBACE Convention News. Though he did not have the statistics on hand here in Geneva, he claimed, "The reality is that corporate helicopters have an accident rate that's as good as corporate jets."
While the lack of downtown heliports and civic opposition toward building more hampers helicopter sales in the U.S., Orbec said he does not consider this a huge problem in Europe. "Most major cities here have at least one heliport," he said. Noise is a concern, however, and he said reducing the noise footprint of Eurocopter's helicopters is a major initiative.
Obstacles notwithstanding, Patrice Royer, Eurocopter director of market development for the commercial business and private segment, said he's seeing a lot of newcomers to the company's customer base. "Our sales of corporate helicopters in Europe have increased some 5 to 10 percent over the last five years," he said. "In 2005 we had bookings for 83 private helicopters and last year we had bookings for 111." The company's most popular models are the AS 350B3 single-engine and EC 135 twin.
Increased wealth among some individuals in Spain, Russia and some other countries in Eastern Europe has spurred interest in helicopters. "Some wealthy individuals buy a yacht first, then a business jet and then come looking for a helicopter," Royer said.
Experienced business jet owners now expect to find the same cabin accoutrements in helicopters that they've become accustomed to in their jets. "They want connections for their laptops and iPods, LCD screens for their DVDs and so on," he said, adding that Eurocopter is working on installation of these for its helicopters.

I remember my friend Bruce bringing Searching for the Young Soul Rebels home from England, months before it found a release in North America. It was a pretty powerful record at the time, and my favourite of theirs. I should see if there's a CD out there...and there is, for about $10. Hmmm....

"...We wouldn't get bombed even after a show because we'd be thinking of the next night." - Geoff 'JB' Blythe.
"No, we stay in guest houses. There's too many temptations around in those big hotels late at night. Bars open to all hours. You'd never get to sleep. We have to go out on stage and know it's us playing, not alcohol and drugs." - Kevin (not sure if it's Rowland or Archer) but probably Rowland.
Quotes from NME circa 1980, when 'Searching for the Young Soul Rebels' was released.
When asked how he felt about the others particating in a little 'herbal infusion' after the gigs, later Rowland answered the interviewer:
"Left out, I suppose. I was afraid to take drugs. I'd messed about with them and just about avoided hard drugs in the 70's and seen a lot of friends get fucked up and learned about my own addictive tendancies. I learned that I couldn't have a drink before I went on stage and I was also afraid of destroying this group thing we'd got."
Mojo Interview, when 'Searching for the Young Soul Rebels' was re-released on CD.
Funny you make a comparison to the Rat Pack, there is a dreat line in 'There, there, my dear' where Rowland snipes "...I don't believe you really like Frank Sinatra."
This band couldn't be further from the typical pop music band. I'm not sure that the running wasn't an early tactic to distance themselves from the rest of the new wave crop at the time. Their music, what they wore, how they behaved did all that too.
There is a clip of them running together, I've seen it in the last 10 years but sadly I couldn't see it on You Tube.
When I read these interviews (to dig up photo's for this week's mini-series) I am struck how honest Rowland seems.

A motorist allegedly found with a loaded handgun lying on the passenger seat of his vehicle during a traffic stop on Southgate Parkway by Cambridge police late Tuesday night remained incarcerated in the Guernsey County jail on a felony investigation hold.
Officers also cited Richard L. Uran III, 29, Cambridge, for no license plate light, no operator's license and driving while under FRA/non-compliance suspension following the traffic stop at approximately 11:20 p.m.
The gun was reportedly loaded with a full magazine and a round in the chamber.
According to reports, officers conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Uran after it was observed traveling on Southgate Parkway without a license plate light.
As the officer approached the vehicle, Uran was observed looking in his mirrors in a suspicious manner. The officer opted to approach the vehicle from the passenger's side and observed the loaded handgun lying on the seat next to Uran.
The officer held Uran at gunpoint until additional officers arrived on scene and Uran was taken into custody without further incident.
Uran advised officers he did not possess a concealed carry license.
Officers checked the gun's serial number to see if it had been reported as stolen, but it had not been reported as stolen.
The gun was seized as evidence.
The case will be forwarded to the police department's detective bureau for consideration of additional charges.
The incident remained under investigation by Cambridge police.

The mayhem surrounding the Nike Air Foamposite One 'Galaxy' came to a boiling point last night, as various House of Hoops locations across the nation experienced immeasurable discord and dystopia that required intervention by police authorities. In reaction to the events and keeping the security and safety of the community in mind, Foot Locker released official information regarding the cancellation of the Nike All-Star releases at a number of their House of Hoops locations. The Galaxy Foamposites have generated an immense of amount of popularity that perhaps Nike and the retail locations did not anticipate, and sellers looking to cash in on the craze have begun to list their pick-ups on eBay – with one auction (most likely a guff listing) garnering an inordinate amount of attention that will likely see a final bid of over $100,000 (those Blackout XIs seem like a bargain now, don't they?).
Up until last night, the release of the Pigeon SB Dunk was considered the most notorious sneaker release of this generation, but just to give you an idea of how it pales in comparison – there were many 'Pigeon SB Dunk' situations going on within one location, and what saddens the entire ordeal is that the shoe in question never even made it outside the store! Continue reading for the official press release by House of Hoops for all the cancelled spots (so you don't head out there with high hopes) and let us know if the Air Foamposite One 'Galaxy' is the most notorious sneaker release of all-time.
Update 2/24, 10:45am EST: Due to safety concerns, the Foot Locker House of Hoops stores in South Park Mall and Crabtree Valley Mall are canceling the All-Star releases this weekend (product list below). Our priority is the safety of the community. Thank you for your understanding. The following Foot Locker House of Hoops stores have also canceled the All-Star releases: Florida Mall, Pembroke Mall, University Mall in Tampa, Southlake Mall and PG Plaza.

I have absolutely no idea why so many thumbs down. Is cinemagram that bad of an app?!

Notebooks in Your Car
Do you keep a notebook in your car? If so, where do you keep it? If you buy a Volkswagen CC, you can have a special place for it in the small driver's-side glove compartment, as shown in their brochure:
The notebook looks like the Markings notebooks you can find at Staples and Target. For a kind of upscale car, you'd think they might have picked a fancier brand! Though it could also be a Guildhall, which might be more likely if they shoot their promotional photos in Europe where the car is built. Either way, I suppose it has the look they were going for with the stitched edge and brown leather-look cover that coordinates well with the dash upholstery. Can anyone identify the pen?

looks like a retro51..
I keep post-it notes in my car, usually so I have something to put on the audiobooks I return to the library after discovering one of the discs is too scratched to play properly. But I always have a notebook in my purse and the backpack I take to work and my gym bag, so I am never without something to write on. 🙂
I listen to The Pen Addict podcast and Myke loves them. Its definitely a Retro 51!

Analyst: Thanks to the Apple iPad mini, Apple's stock target remains over $1,000
0. phoneArena posted on 28 Dec 2012, 20:02
Brian White, an analyst with Topeka Capital, has reiterated his buy signal on Apple's stock and is maintaining his price target of $1,111 a share which would require Apple to more than double from current levels to reach; White points to heavy demand for the Apple iPad mini in China and Hong Kong which has led to shortages of the 7.9 inch tablet in the region...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
4. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Is he drunk or something? $1,111? What's the real difference between him and a fortune teller?
15. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
"What's the real difference between him and a fortune teller?"
That he has hoodwinked a bunch of people to subscribe to his drivel and pay him waaaay more than his opinions are worth.
24. mambocream (Posts: 29; Member since: 10 Jun 2011)
He probably convinced his wife to invest their life savings in Apple when it was $700 and he is hoping that saying that $1,111 crap will get people to buy it and bring the stock back up. It is a little cold to be sleeping in the dog house.
5. amiaq (Posts: 509; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
The only way for apple is downward spiral
6. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
Analyst are a bunch of iturds. No one can't reach over 1,100$ in stock. And Apple stock are already down at 509.59
16. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
I think you are limiting your assessment of analysts - they are mostly wrong in their predictions. Apple may get to $1,000 in 20 years, when the market average is also at $1,000. What is missing is accountability - no one forces these mouthpieces to shut up when they are wrong, they are just voicing their opinion....
27. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
If they make it 20 years... Look at Kodak and Palm.
28. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Quite true. And it is not as if they don't have a culture of arrogance. Unchecked arrogance inevitably becomes the route to downfall.
17. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
To paraphrase Judge Koh (this time to Brian White) - Are you smoking crack?

Buying Apple stock is just not a good idea. Leaders in the technology sector change so fast I wouldn't be surprised if HTC or Motorola make a huge comeback. I still remember when Samsung had their crappy Droid Charge and I was never a fan of their original Galaxy S series. Today Samsung can't be stopped. And I was always a Windows Mobile and Palm guy back in the day. Today Palm is dead and Microsoft has less than 5% market share.
The only thing saving Apple right now is their ecosystem of Apps and the fannbois that continue to buy their flashy goods. Take both away and Apple is nothing. Tim Cook is nothing but a placeholder in this field. He is living in Steve Jobs shadow and does not have what it takes to bring us the next big thing. Super thin desktop computers that are not meant to be portable,multiple iPad variations, iPhone "S" models and this rumored Apple TV will not do it. These analyst are smoking crack. Even if Apple stock hit $1000 a share what exactly does that mean to the huge number of people still buying Android phones over iPhones?
21. jsdechavez (Posts: 758; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
Lower, banker! Lower!
22. decnova (Posts: 2; Member since: 06 Dec 2012)
It said apple will release ipad mini2.
It said it's the same 7.9-inch space? So we can use the same case for ipad mini2? e.g the iPad MINI Protective Leather Rotary Case With Belt Buckle is case I love for my ipad mini on theideasforgift.

Analysts have said AAPL would be $1000 by the end of the year. Two more days and it's not going to happen. $1,111 isn't going to happen either, regardless of how many stock owning tech writers pump up Apple in their articles. Let's face it, the only new devices Apple has rumored to be released on the horizon are watches and televisions. People won't buy an overpriced TV like they do with tablets, and OS watches are novelties, niche at best.
AAPL might get back to $700, seriously doubt it will ever hit $1000.
30. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
I doubt there will be an iTV until Apple can negotiate content deals with the content providers. I would have expected leaks from at least a few content providers if any deal was imminent. But so far, nothing.
An iWatch can leverage iTunes, but I just don't see how you sell volumes in the 10s of millions. Is everyone going to trade in what they are currently using for a watch for an iWatch? I don't think so.
37. Aeires (unregistered)
I can see them trying to couple iTV with iTunes, but not everyone likes iTunes so that'll be yet another iDevice that only the die hards will purchase. Not going to make their stock hit $1k by any stretch.
33. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Thanks to investors for not buying into this anytime soon ... some analyst has said it will go down below $300 :)

It's not just the Labor Party capable of strange days indeed – US department store Neiman Marcus has been done over by the Federal Trade Commission for selling real fur as faux.
There might be something profound about the way the world has turned when a top flight retailer is passing off the real thing as fake. Next authorities will raid Hong Kong's Ladies' Market to drag away a stall holder guilty of stocking genuine Louis Vuitton handbags.
And it's not just Neiman Marcus being a little strange. The Herald Tribune reported two other retailers were selling genuine fakes, so to speak. Perhaps the most pleasing sentence in the story is: "The FTC also charged that The Neiman Marcus Group Inc. claimed that a rabbit fur product had mink fur, and failed to disclose where the fur came from for three fur products."
I'm no furrier, but I'd guess the fur came from rabbits.
However, the world turning upside down is not confined to rabbits dressed as mink and non-faux faux fur. Earlier this month, The Sydney Morning Herald reported university deans more or less claiming they don't run dud faculties with low standards. As Mandy Rice Davies might suggest, they would say that, wouldn't they?
The key sentence this time was: "According to government figures, only 20 per cent of those starting undergraduate teacher training courses each year had ATARs of less than 60."
Note that it's not "20 per cent managed an ATAR of 60" – it's 20 per cent scored 59 and lower. Well that's a relief – only one in five teacher training freshers was apparently incapable of doing much more than putting their name on the top of their HSC papers. How, therefore, could anyone doubt the high standards demanded by our august tertiary institutions, heavily subsidised as they are by taxpayers?
But then it gets serious. While the Australian government was auditioning on Thursday for a minor job with Ashton's Circus (they were turned down), real news was breaking to our north: Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister reportedly announced his government would seize control of the $1.4 billion sustainable development fund set up by BHP in 2002 as a gift to the Papuan New Guinea people with a structure designed to try to pre-vent it being seized by the politicians of a country rated by Transparency International as one of the world's most corrupt – ranked 150th out of 176.
This is the latest act in a saga of both tragedy and generosity. The Papua New Guinea Sustainable Development Program represents by far the biggest act of corporate philanthropy in Australian history. It was the compromise worked out by Paul Anderson when he was running BHP between the need to end the downriver pollution caused by Ok Tedi and the PNG government's determination to keep the mine operating.
When Anderson personally reviewed the studies commissioned by his predecessors of the Ok Tedi mine's impact, he found it morally impossible to continue to operate the mine. The initial plan was to effectively fill the hole in, a scheme that would allow mining to continue for a little longer without polluting the river, giving PNG time to adjust.
But with Ok Tedi being the government's biggest source of revenue, Port Moresby would have none of it. The mine would continue to operate as long as it was profitable. Anderson nonetheless believed BHP could not ethically keep mining, so its majority stake was gifted to the people of PNG through the PNGSDP structure, a Singapore-based corporation with PNG government representation on its board, but not dominance.
New PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill last year began his push to take control of PNGSDP. Steadily rising tensions broke surface when PNGSDP chairman Professor Ross Garnaut was banned from entering PNG after he very gently stated the obvious about the country, that it was "tempting for political figures to think of better ways of using it right now rather than putting it into long-term development".
Thursday's development - O'Neill announcing that Ok Tedi's lease would not be renewed upon its expiry next year, that the PNG government would own and operate the mine and that "we will restructure the PNGSDP with our own people managing it, not by strange people who live beyond and do not know our needs" – would be a sorry conclusion to a magnificent effort to ameliorate an environ-mental disaster.
There was hope that O'Neill becoming Prime Minister would help lift PNG and much of the new government's rhetoric has been encouraging about removing some of the infrastructure bottlenecks holding this complex country back. Certainly a good government could indeed put the PNGSDP funds to good usage, but good government to the benefit of all the people have not been the rule in PNG. Despite fabulous natural resources, delivery of services in many areas has gone backwards.
Giving O'Neill the benefit of the doubt, the tragedy here might not be what his administration might do with the money, but whatever crew takes over from him. It's a tough job standing between a politician and a bag of money the world over, including Australia.
When the PNGSDP was set up, it was envisaged that it would ultimately be controlled by the PNG government. The timing and attempted safeguards could not be ensured a decade ago. The structure has at least preserved a large proportion of Ok Tedi's wealth for the people. In the end, it is indeed theirs to deal with.
To have the structure end in rancour and high dudgeon though, bodes ill. Australia's nearest neighbour and major destination of Australian aid funds has a great many problems as well as potential.
And where's the Australian government been as this unfolded? Somewhat busy working up a circus act. Standby for some sort of reassurance from Canberra about maintaining faux fur standards and that the future of education here is in good hands.

text: Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the company's supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for the use of a Perjeta ® (pertuzumab) regimen before surgery (neoadjuvant treatment) in people with HER2-positive early stage breast cancer. The FDA has granted a Priority Review of the application and will make a decision on approval by October 31, 2013. "The impact of treatment in breast cancer is greatest in the early stage, before the cancer has spread to other parts of the body," said Hal Barron, M.D., chief medical officer and head, Global Product Development. "We look forward to working with the FDA to bring this potential option to people with HER2-positive early stage breast cancer as soon as possible." Neoadjuvant therapy is a treatment option given after diagnosis but before surgery for early stage breast cancer (cancer that has not spread beyond the breast or lymph nodes). Neoadjuvant treatment aims to reduce a tumor's size so it may be easier to surgically remove, or to allow for breast-conserving surgery. There are currently no FDA-approved neoadjuvant treatments for cancer. A common measure of neoadjuvant treatment effect in breast cancer is pathological complete response (pCR), which means there is no tumor tissue detectable at the time of surgery. Perjeta is already approved in the United States and Europe for people with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, an advanced form of the disease. Perjeta is a personalized medicine that targets the HER2 receptor, a protein found in high quantities on the outside of cancer cells in HER2-positive cancers. The combination of Perjeta, Herceptin ® and docetaxel chemotherapy is thought to provide a more comprehensive blockade of HER signaling pathways. A Priority Review designation is granted to medicines that the FDA believes have the potential to provide significant improvements in the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of a disease.

Networking Program
What is the MSAA Networking Program?
The MSAA Networking Program is an online community of individuals with multiple sclerosis and their care partners who are interested in finding peer support and corresponding through email exchange. Participants are asked to identify themselves as an MS client or care partner, provide name and email address, include a brief summary of interests or reasons for correspondence, and grant MSAA permission to share this information with others in the program through a private directory.
Once entered into the Networking Program, participants will be able to search for other members by general geographic areas and individual interests. Members can update their own contact and personal information whenever needed.
