Calcutta, Oct. 7: Linc Pen & Plastics, a Calcutta-based writing instrument company, is competing with the Chinese for rack space in Wal-Mart the leading US retail chain.
Linc sells some 30 million pens to Wal-Mart every year at Re 1 each, which the latter sells for 5 cents. Lincs managing director Deepak Jalan said: Even at this price, we manage a 20-25 per cent gross margin.
Pens sold through the Wal-Mart chain are produced in Calcutta. Lincs production unit in the city employs some 1,000 people directly, and 500 more indirectly.
The company that earned Rs 61.94 in total revenues and Rs 7.84 crore from exports is expecting a 30 per cent growth in sales and exports. Linc is in talks to export pens to a number of other retail chains in the US.
In the US, Indian pens are now considered better and as economical as the Chinese. Linc and a couple of other Indian companies are giving the Chinese a run for their money, Jalan added.
Under a special marketing arrangement, Linc sells pens for Mitsubishi Pencil Company of Japan under the Uniball brand in India.
We will soon start manufacturing these pens in India, and going forward hope to supply them to Mitsubishi for being sold in other countries, Jalan said.
Commenting on financial performance in the current financial year, he said: We are sure of registering a 30 per cent growth in sales this year. In the first five months of the year, our sales grew 40 per cent. In terms of profit, our bottomline should increase 50 per cent.

Live-Aid "My Generation" performance (partially lost live performance; 1985)
|MTV footage of the music festival.
|Partially Lost
Live-Aid was a music festival who's goal was to raise relief money to help the 1984 famine in Ethiopia, with the help of many famous musicians, including David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, and Paul McCartney.
It was also laden with technical issues, including a power failure in the middle of The Who's performance of My Generation, causing the video feed and the main audio feed to be lost, though many US radio stations broadcasted a lower quality mirror feed after the cut.
The backup still took a few seconds to set up and, due to how radio works, took several seconds for the radio signal to cross the Atlantic, so a small portion of the audio and a large portion of the video remains lost to this day.

2010 Census:
Cooperation with Enumerators Is Critical to a Successful Headcount
GAO-10-665T: Published: Apr 30, 2010. Publicly Released: Apr 30, 2010.
PODCAST: Update on the Latest Phase of the 2010 Census
Audio interview by GAO staff with Robert Goldenkoff, Director, Strategic Issues

On May 1, 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau (Bureau) will launch its massive follow-up effort with the roughly 48 million households that did not mail back their census forms (130 million forms were delivered). As part of this nonresponse follow-up effort, over 600,000 enumerators will fan out across the country, personally contacting nonresponding housing units as many as six times in an effort to ensure everyone is counted. As requested, GAO's testimony in Los Angeles (L.A.) focuses on the importance of census participation, paying particular attention to (1) the Bureau's preparedness for nonresponse follow-up in terms of workload and staffing levels, (2) why it will be critical for Angelenos and others across the country to cooperate with enumerators during nonresponse follow-up, and (3) key steps the Bureau needs to take moving forward to ensure nonresponse follow-up is timely and accurate. The testimony is based on previously issued and ongoing GAO work.
Nationally, based on workload and staffing levels, the Bureau appears to be well positioned to implement nonresponse follow-up. On both counts, the Bureau's performance is meeting its expected goals. With respect to the mail-back response rate, the Bureau expected a level of between 59 percent and 65 percent. The actual mail-back response rate when the Bureau determined the universe of houses to visit for nonresponse follow-up on April 19, was 63.2 percent, well within its estimates. The mail-back response rate for L.A. City was 61.4 percent, and L.A. County was 64.7 percent. In terms of staffing, the Bureau met its goals both nationally as well as for L.A. Still, the Bureau could encounter pockets of challenges at the local level where mail-back response rates are less than expected. Further, the reliability of a computer system needed to administer nonresponse follow-up is an open question. Participation in the census has decade-long implications for individuals, communities, and states. For example, census data are used to apportion House seats, redraw the boundaries of congressional and local election districts, and help ensure compliance with civil rights and other laws protecting our citizens. A complete count also helps ensure that L.A. and other areas obtain their fair share of federal assistance. Indeed, a number of formula grants allocate money based at least in part on census and related population data. GAO's recent analysis found that the 10 largest federal assistance programs obligated an estimated $478 billion in fiscal year 2009 based, to some extent, on census and related population data. The grants included Medicaid, Highway Planning and Construction, Head Start, and the Children's Health Insurance Program. Local governments as well as businesses use census data for planning and investment decisions, and to better tailor the services they provide. Nationally, following up on nonresponding households is a daunting task, and L.A. presents its own challenges and opportunities. For example, data from a planning database the Bureau developed placed L.A. County first on a list of the top 50 U.S. counties with the highest number of people living in hard-to-count areas, based on data from the 2000 Census. Factors contributing to the area's hard-to-count challenges include poverty, unemployment, and language barriers. Moving forward, among other activities, it will be important for the Bureau to track various production, quality, and other indicators as planned to help ensure nonresponse follow-up stays on track. In summary, participation in the census is a quick, easy, and confidential civic act that has a lasting impact on states, cities, neighborhoods, and even individuals. But the benefits that can accrue from a complete and accurate population tally can only occur if Angelenos cooperate with enumerators when they knock on nonrespondents' doors in the weeks ahead.

|Chronological and political information
Member of Infinity Order
Malefic is one of The Three Emperors of the Infinity Order in the fanon Avatar: Bridge to Infinity.
Before Bridge to Infinity
Early Life (81AG - 89AG)
Malefic was born to an Air Nomad survivor in late 81AG and was gifted with the ability to Airbend. His childhood was cut short when Fire Nation soldiers tracked down his parents and killed them while he managed to narrowly escape.
After wandering around the wasteland of the Earth Kingdom for several weeks he was found by Josik who took him to a secret base in Patola Mountains, it was there where he effectively joined the Infinity order after passing a series of tests to discover his dedication to their goals.
Serving the Order (90AG - 98AG)
After joining the order Malefic was trained intensely for several years under Josik who believed him to be a suitable heir to the throne of Kailus, one of the three leaders of the order while the others were Josik and Luccaino. He was trained in the use of the Infinity sword, a blade that channel a user's elemental attacks and increase their power immensely.
Malefic later served in Josik's personal unit as Kailus' health continued to worsen. It was here he gained revenge for his parent's murder by defeating and killing Fire Lord Azulon in an intense Agni Kai. He later escaped the palace with help from an unknown woman who proceeded to cover up Azulon's death as if he died from natural causes. When Malefic asked Josik about the woman's identity he simply responded by referring to her as an ally.
Ascension to Emperor and the Discovery of Aang (98AG Onwards)
In Late 98AG Kailus succumbed to his illness and Malefic was crowned as one of the three Emperors of the Infinity Order. It was here he learned the true goals of the Order and proceeded to aid them as best he could. He quickly became the central figure of military affairs while Luccaino managed Intelligence and Josik saw to the more secretive matters. He also gained quite of reputation for being ruthless and unforgiving. He also contradicted his fellow Emperors much to the annoyance of Josik.
After Avatar Aang was freed the Order chose to stay out of the conflict but instead use the energy created from the battles to fuel their own mysterious needs. However, this was short lived as Aang swiftly ended the conflict and declared peace.
Now with no way to harvest the energy secretly Malefic has chosen to lead his armies against Aang in an attempt to re-ignite the conflict using deep sown hatreds. Malefic himself chose to lead the army into their first battle, an Attack on the Fire Nation capital.
Bridge to Infinity
Attack on the Fire Nation
Malefic, after a heated argument with Luccaino, lead an attack on the Fire Nation Palace with only twenty men. He reached the palace and engaged Fire Lord Zuko and Mai in battle with the loss of only two soldiers. After some heated banter between the three, Malefic called upon the power of his eyepiece that gifted them with a mysterious but powerful ability as a massive but unknown seal appeared in the sky.
In his battle against Zuko, Malefic easily surpassed the Fire Lord and made him seem like a weakling. Malefic then, after the seal vanished, fled the capital with his remaining soldiers and captive Mai.
Luccaino fights Aang
He is later seen sitting with Josik after Luccaino's apparent killing of Aang. He warns Josik that the Avatar could possibly be still alive and seems distressed that Luccaino's battle 'increased the energy'. After discussing with Josik about a scout being sent by an unknown force he shivers in fear when he knows it's name, Xercxes.
Mai fights Zuko
Malefic reacts to Zuko's apparent death with joy and is shocked by Xercxes' sudden appearance. After Xercxes criticizes Malefic's and the other Emperor's performance, Malefic takes offense and warns Xercxes that he rules here. Xercxes responds by nearly killing Malefic and this results with him going quiet.
Malefic's personality can be described in two words: arrogant and aggressive. He has an intense hate for everything Fire Nation and would like nothing more than to see it destroyed. He is allied with his two fellow Emperors, Josik and Luccaino, however he openly disagrees and contradicts them in public. He also is a ruthless fighter who despite being raised in the ways of Air Nomad combat, with fight to the death.
Malefic's personality is wild and unpredictable however it can be said he is over-confident at times and often sees himself stronger than he actually is, this can lead to him charging into fights recklessly and 'Biting off more than he can chew'. He also mocks his opponents before killing them by criticizing their skill, this is seen during his encounter with Zuko and Mai.
Malefic is an expert Airbender and can even carve buildings in two with razor sharp jets of Air, combined with his Infinity Sword his Airbending is unmatched and is possible superior to that of an Avatar using the Avatar State.
Infinity Sword
Malefic, like most Infinity Order members, uses the sword to increase his Airbending's power ten-fold. He is also an expert in using the sword in close-combat as no swordman seems to be able to match him. The sword itself is made of the legendary metal Orichalcum and can cleave any other weapon in two effortlessly. Embedded in its core is circular liquid crystal which reads the user's element and alters the blade chemically to conduct that element better.
- Malefic means to display an evil or negative influence.
- His title as one of the three Emperors is a reference to the Three Emperors of the Great Powers in the early 20th Century (Britain, France and Germany)

Nature's beauty and frailness inspired the designers to create here in Xcaret a Path of Consciousness, a trail that both reflects the beauty of the natural reserve around it and seeks to remind the visitor how important the balance of nature is for the survival of the planet. Wandering through the path, there are thoughts and reflections from writers, and poets, philosophers, and activists from around the world - morsels for musings on being and nature, written in Spanish and in English. Although I cannot transport you to the coast of Mexico but this morning, we will share with you those thoughts and reflections.

At the start of my last semester of school, I was taken back when I read the syllabus for one of my classes. It read something like: "laptops may not be brought to class because they distract both the student and the teacher." For most of my college career I had gotten used to bringing my laptop to class to take notes because I could type much faster than I could write, and sorting and organizing notes was much easier. Here I was in my last semester and the teacher wasn't going to allow a laptop. I was annoyed, but life went on without my laptop and I had to get used to writing my notes once again.
That was the first and only time where I've been in a situation where laptops were not allowed, but that might be changing. Now it appears that managers of companies are thinking like my professor did and asking their employees not to bring computers to meetings. Will this request eventually become a new trend? A recent blog entry by Christopher Null over at Yahoo Tech talks about this very issue. Nulls says that managers are tired of workers bringing their laptops to meetings to do anything but work.
He says:
Laptops are vital business tools and banning them makes little sense on the surface. That is, after all, why laptops were invented in the first place: So people could take their computer off their desk and into another environment, like a meeting and be doubly productive.
Then he went on to say:
Laptops may be more a symptom of meetings that were already useless rather than the cause. How many times have I wished I could catch up on my email instead of having to sit in a crowded conference room and listen to a stuffed shirt drone on about another grand, corporate design that will never come to pass?
More than I can count. Now give me back my Minesweeper.
I've always been one that has the mind-set of work smarter, not harder, and that's what a laptop has allowed me to do. While some employees and students may use a laptop for leisure (at times, there's nothing wrong with using a laptop to pass time), others don't and use it to work smarter. This got me thinking about other technology devices that could be added to a "ban" list like Smartphones, iPhones, or cell phones in general. When it comes down to it, are all of these devices more distractive than they are beneficial?
I don't know about you, but I'm really hoping that a "no laptops allowed" rule doesn't become the new trend…

Covenant Groups
What are covenant groups?
Covenant Groups are groups of 8-12 people who meet regularly for spiritual reflection and sharing. Each Covenant Group has a trained facilitator and the content for each meeting is based on a theological theme (see box at right). Members of each group make a commitment to share deeply and build connections quickly, to explore one's faith through reflection and deliberate listening, to practice radical hospitality, and to participate in a group spiritual practice. Group members create a covenant (a sacred promise) with one another to abide by their own rules for group interaction.
Participants in a Covenant Group meet for five months. At the end of the five-months, the group either ends or agrees to randomly divide and to start two new groups. In either case, the final meeting allows members to practice "endings," and to hold themselves accountable to saying a "good goodbye" to one another. Forming new groups at the end of each five-month cycle allows Covenant Groups to truly live out the idea of "Radical Hospitality," as they continually make room for the newcomer.
All Covenant Groups follow a standard format and agenda that is used across groups. If you are interested in joining a group or have already joined one, please familiarize yourself with the following:

According to the second annual Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Survey, awareness of Small Business Saturday among U.S. consumers shot up to 44% compared to 34% during the same period a year ago. In addition, 77% of those aware of the day say that they plan to "Shop Small" this year. That translates to tens of millions of -consumers across America who say they plan to patronize a small business on November 30 th, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The forecasted increase in shopping activity should come as welcome news to retailers facing the shortest holiday shopping since 2002. "Small Business Saturday has really resonated with consumers who are eager to show support for their neighborhoods," said Susan Sobbott, president at American Express OPEN. "Shoppers have made their intentions clear, and we expect Small Business Saturday to be an incredible boon for independent businesses across the country."

Who is a Peace Hero?
It is easy to start a war, but always difficult to end it. War causes casualties and damages the life of all creatures on earth. PMV believes that anyone in the past or present who stands up and speaks out for social justice is a peace hero. A Peace Hero breaks the silence and shares her or his knowledge with others for the good of society.PMV looks for four characteristics in a Peace Hero. They should:
- Recognise the interconnectedness of all people;
- Promote justice in the face of discrimination;
- Reject vengeance;
- Foster reconciliation and friendship.
We want to inspire students and the public by showing them the good work that Peace Heroes have done. Our Peace Heroes come from across the globe. They all have worked for peace in their professions, ranging from musicians to activists to politicians.
What is our mission?
Peace Museum Vienna attempts to conduct peace education through the lives of its Peace Heroes. These heroes include historic as well as contemporary figures, who spent their lives either promoting peace through their profession, such as the sociologist Johan Galtung, or practiced nonviolence as their main strategy for a peaceful life, such as Mahatma Gandhi.
The PMV research team nominates Peace Hero candidates to the PMV board for approval. We have established a list of 150 Peace Heroes since June 2014, but we intend to increase the number of peace heroes to 365 by June 2016. We aim to bring peace heroes onto a global stage, with a network of at least 20 cities and over 5000 peace heroes by 2020. Since PMV is based in the city of Vienna, the capital of Austria, Bertha von Suttner is very important to us. She was the inspiration for the Nobel Peace Prize, and became the first woman to win it in 1905. Therefore, she is our first peace hero. Visit berthavonsuttner.com to learn more.
What is our vision?
We plan to extend our peace education efforts to schools in Vienna. We intend to expand our exhibition initiative, Windows for Peace, to a minimum of 20 cities and include 5000 Peace Heroes worldwide by 2020.
Bertha von Suttner
An Austrian, she is the first woman in history to receive the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1905. She was a peace activist who published one of the most impactful writings, "Lay Down your Arms", warning of the danger of weapons build-up before World War I. Her personal contact with Alfred Nobel was to influence him to include a peace prize in the Nobel prizes to be awarded.
Alfred Hermann Fried
An Austrian, he was a close affiliate of Bertha von Suttner, and winner of Nobel Prize for Peace in 1911. Together with Bertha von Suttner, he founded the "German Peace Society". Fried was a prominent member of the Esperanto-movement. In 1903 he published the book of the International Language of Esperanto.
Franz Jägerstätter
This simple peasant from a small village near Salzburg refused to serve in Hitler's army, preferring to follow his Christian conscience. He was beheaded in Berlin, leaving a wife and three young daughters. He was sentenced to death and executed. In June 2007, Pope Benedict XVI issued an apostolic exhortation, and declared Franz Jägerstätter a martyr.
Richard Nikolaus von Coudenhove-Kalergi
Albert Einstein
Arguably the most important scientist in history, Einstein needs no introduction. What is less well-known is his passion for peace. He longed for a world without nationalism that would lead to dispute and war, and he supported anti-war movements in all ways he could. One of his quotes, "Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding", is an example of his view on war. He chaired the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists, with the mission to warn the public of the dangers of the development of nuclear weapons.
Pope Benedict XVI
"Peace concerns the human person as a whole, and it involves complete commitment. It is peace with God through a life lived according to his will. It is interior peace with oneself and exterior peace with our neighbours and all creation". Pope Benedict militated for peace between different confessions and sought to improve relations with them throughout his Pontificate.
Pope John Paul II
Pope John Paul II wanted to put the church at the heart of a new religious union between Jews, Muslims, and Christians. He was a major opponent of the apartheid in South Africa. He was an active figure towards the culmination of the fall of the Iron Curtain, and he was influential in the toppling of several dictatorships around the world as well. In the Pope's youth in Poland he saved the lives of many Jewish people by helping them escape from the Nazis. The pope called for peace directly as he was actively outspoken against both the Persian Gulf War and the Iraq war.
He was the first Pope to speak out against the mafia in southern Italy, and the first global figure to call the mass murder in Rwanda "genocide, and although previous popes had accepted the practice of the death penalty, pope John Paul II was outspoken against it, saying that: "A sign of hope is the increasing recognition that the dignity of human life must never be taken away, even in the case of someone who has done great evil. Modern society has the means of protecting itself, without definitively denying criminals the chance to reform. I renew the appeal I made most recently at Christmas for a consensus to end the death penalty, which is both cruel and unnecessary." (From Death Penalty Information Center).
Pope Francis
The current leader of the Catholic Church is lauded for his commitment to peace for his commitment to bring together all people with different backgrounds, beliefs, and faiths. He has been outspoken against economic inequality and poverty and has said that extreme poverty and unjust economic systems are violations of human rights. The Pope has been hailed as man of the year by numerous publications such as "Time Magazine" in 2014 for his efforts regarding discourse on recent controversial issues and his efforts for World Peace.
Immanuel Kant
A German philosopher. In is writing, Perpetual Peace, he listed several conditions he thought were necessary to end war and create lasting peace. His ideas were thought to have become the democratic peace theory, and are still referenced by modern philosophers.
Peace is a central concept in Buddhism. Buddhism strives to attain the state of peace in mind, and also in harmonious and peaceful living. The theory of causality in Buddhism teaches the world that whether to have war or peace is our choice as human beings. It encourages people to understand what causes peace, so to know where to direct effort.
Jesus of Nazareth
Jesus Christ is a peace hero goes without explanation. His very ethos is constituted in peace and love of mankind. Jesus emphasizes forgiveness – that one ought to "turn the other cheek", which is essential to all elements of peace as conflict resolution and avoidance. "Blessed are the peacemakers for they should be called sons of God".
Linus Pauling
An American Chemist, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and the Nobel Peace Prize, and was the only person to be awarded two unshared Nobel Prizes. He became a peace activist with the profound changes to his life by the aftermath of World War II. He co-founded the International League of Humanists, and was the president of the scientific advisory board, World Union for Protection of Life.
Joseph Rotblat
A Polish-born British physicist, he studied nuclear reactions, and was strongly against the use of it as a devastating weapon. His work was a major contribution to the Partial Test Ban Treaty, aimed to slow the arms race and to stop the excessive release of nuclear fallout into the atmosphere. He won the Albert Einstein Peace Prize in 1992, and the Nobel Peace Prize in conjunction with the Pugwash Conferences in 1995.
Andrei Sakharov
A Soviet nuclear physicist, he was against nuclear proliferation, and a major contributor to the Partial Test Ban Treaty. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975, and the Nobel committee referred to him as the "spokesman for the conscience of mankind." The Sakharov Prize, which is awarded annually by the European Parliament to individuals showing courage in defending human rights and freedom of expression, is named after him.
Kofi Annan
"Suffering anywhere concerns people everywhere. Global solidarity is both necessary and possible. It is necessary because without a measure of solidarity no society can be truly stable, and no one's prosperity truly secure." – Kofi Annan Kofi Annan is a peace hero because… of his accomplishment as the 7th Secretary-General of the United Nations, working onthe HIV / AIDS pandemic and proposing to create a Global AIDS and health fund, and with the UN jointly winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001. Kofi also leads the Alliance for Green Revolution in Africa (an agricultural initiative) and the Global Humanitarian Forum in Geneva. Kofi Annan was born in Ghana, Africa in 1938. He published the book, Interventions: A Life in War and Peace, which is a memoir of his forty years of service at the UN.
Asha Haji Elmi
Aung San Suu Kyi
One of the twentieth century's iconic political prisoners, Aung San Suu Kyi is the current State Counsellor of Myanmar (Burma), and an internationally recognised diplomat. Her career in Burmese politics has been characterised by her nonviolent struggle for democracy, and her endurance under harsh personal circumstances.Suu Kyi was born in 1945 into a political family. Her father, Aung San, was credited with leading Burma's army in negotiations with the British. He was assassinated in 1947, the year that Burma gained independence. Suu Kyi's mother, Khin Kyi, later became the Burmese ambassador to India.

Born in 1968 - Italy
Born in 1968 in Brescia, Italy.
Based in Brescia, he spent part of his childhood in his father's workshop, himself a sculptor. Here he experimented the use of artistic techniques and materials by developing highly original applications.
Naturally influenced by his father, he is also art by great masters such as Boccioni, Balla, the Futurist movement painters, Henry Moore, sculptor of the early twentieth century, or Piero Manzoni. Stefano Bombardieri from a figurative approach to advance in the conceptual. To achieve further work, he approaches the world of Piero Manzoni.
He participated in numerous collective and personal exhibitions in Italy and Europe. He is interested in all forms of art from the world of design to applied art.
Topics created based on a philosophical approach, the artist speaks of pain, present in Western culture, time and perception. Although his work is based more on an inner search of the concept of aesthetics, his works are still related to the hyperrealist movement, his work is described: motley, both minimal, conceptual, featuring the using a great mix of tools and artistic mediums, such as video-installation that is recurrent in his current work.
His sculptures are entirely credible, in other words they have an absolutely realistic presence made carefully rendered details, plastic perfection of mimesis in a balanced stylistic complacency. And yet it is "their" truth itself, their lifelike appearance that make them surreal or disturbing.
Rhinos, sumo wrestlers this artist, as well as many other possible topics, are of almost the appearance of fossils frozen in a synthetic fixity artificial. A parallel life so perfect and incorruptible what causes stupor. But basically it's just art, the magic of art that makes possible the alchemy and the works of Stefano Bombardieri take us by the hand, with apparent lightness, pleasantly excited, to concepts such as the relationship between reality and fiction, life and its duplicate if present today but atavistic ubiquitous in the collective imagination, and basic material for reflection on art and knew its language.

Information About Hearing Loss
Learning about what causes hearing loss is the first step in both prevention and treatment. Mass Audiology offers hearing screenings to help you stay on the right path with your hearing ability. Our experienced hearing care professionals will sit with you to figure out the cause of your hearing loss and to also develop the best treatment plan for your specific hearing loss.
Hearing loss can lead to people often feeling alone, frustrated, and excluded in most social settings. It is our job to prevent you from ever feeling this way through our hearing loss treatment options. Below are a few hearing loss statistics to help keep you informed.
Untreated Hearing Loss Linked to Depression, Anxiety, Social Isolation in Seniors WASHINGTON, D.C.
Untreated hearing loss has serious emotional and social consequences for older persons, according to a study released today by The National Council on the Aging (NCOA). 5/99
"This study debunks the myth that hearing loss in older persons is a harmless condition," said James Firman, Ed.D., president and CEO of The National Council on the Aging. The survey of 2,300 hearing impaired adults age 50 and older found that those with untreated hearing loss were more likely to report depression, anxiety, and paranoia and were less likely to participate in organized social activities, compared to those who wear hearing instruments. The study was conducted by Seniors Research Group, an alliance between NCOA and Market Strategies Inc.
The survey found that significantly more of the seniors with untreated hearing loss (those who do not wear hearing devices) reported feelings of sadness or depression that lasted two or more weeks during the previous year. Among respondents with more severe hearing loss, 22 percent of hearing-aid users reported these sad feelings, compared to 30 percent of non-users. Non-users were also more likely to agree with the statement that "people get angry with me usually for no reason" (14 percent of users vs. 23 percent of non-users). Among those with more severe hearing loss, the difference was even greater — 14 percent for users vs. 36 percent for non-users.
Also, people who don't use hearing instruments were considerably less likely to participate in social activities (20 percent less among those with milder loss, and 24 percent less likely among those with more severe loss).
Firman said the survey was "groundbreaking" not only in the large size of the sample but also in the inclusion 2,090 close family members or friends of the hearing-impaired respondents who were asked a parallel set of questions.
Benefits of Treatment
Hearing aid users reported benefits in many areas of their lives, ranging from their relationships at home and sense of independence to their social life and their sex life. The families of hearing aid users noticed the improvements, but were even more likely than the users to report the improvements in every dimension the survey measured.
You might have hearing loss if you . . .
- Require frequent repetition.
- Have difficulty following conversations involving more than 2 people.
- Think that other people sound muffled or like they're mumbling.
- Have difficulty hearing in noisy situations, like conferences, restaurants, malls, or crowded meeting rooms.
- Have trouble hearing children and women.
- Have your TV or radio turned up to a high volume.
- Answer or respond inappropriately in conversations.
- Have ringing in your ears.
- Read lips or more intently watch people's faces when they speak with you
- Feel stressed out from straining to hear what others are saying.
- Feel annoyed at other people because you can't hear or understand them.
- Feel embarrassed to meet new people or from misunderstanding what others are saying.
- Feel nervous about trying to hear and understand.
- Withdraw from social situations that you once enjoyed because of difficulty hearing.
- Have a family history of hearing loss.
- Take medications that can harm the hearing system (ototoxic drugs).
- Have diabetes, heart, circulation or thyroid problems.
- Have been exposed to very loud sounds over a long period or single exposure to explosive noise.

People with hearing loss delay a decision to get hearing help because they are unaware of the fact that receiving early treatment for hearing loss has the potential to literally transform their lives. Research by the National Council on the Aging on more than 2,000 people with hearing loss as well as their significant others demonstrated that hearing instruments clearly are associated with impressive improvements in the social, emotional, psychological, and physical well-being of people with hearing loss in all hearing loss categories from mild to severe. Specifically, hearing device usage is positively related to the following quality of life issues.
Hearing loss treatment was shown to improve:
- Earning power
- Communication in relationships
- Intimacy and warmth in family relationships
- Ease in communication
- Emotional stability
- Sense of control over life events
- Perception of mental functioning
- Physical health
- Group social participation
And just as importantly hearing loss treatment was shown to reduce:
- Discrimination toward the person with the hearing loss
- Hearing loss compensation behaviors (i.e. pretending you hear)
- Anger and frustration in relationships
- Depression and depressive symptoms
- Feelings of paranoia
- Anxiety
- Social phobias
- Physical health
- Self-criticism
If you are one of those people with a mild, moderate or severe hearing loss, who is sitting on the fence, consider all the benefits of hearing instruments described above. Hearing instruments hold such great potential to positively change so many lives.

Artist's Statement: Much of my love of the visual arts came about as a result of being legally blind for the first 13-years of life. Once I was able to see God's world clearly, I was imbued with a sense of awe I have never gotten over.

The Rat Genome Database (RGD) (http://rgd.mcw.edu) aims to meet the needs of its community by providing genetic and genomic infrastructure while also annotating the strengths of rat research: biochemistry, nutrition, pharmacology and physiology. Here, we report on RGD's development towards creating a phenome database. Recent developments can be categorized into three groups. (i) Improved data collection and integration to match increased volume and biological scope of research. (ii) Knowledge representation augmented by the implementation of a new ontology and annotation system. (iii) The addition of quantitative trait loci data, from rat, mouse and human to our advanced comparative genomics tools, as well as the creation of new, and enhancement of existing, tools to enable users to efficiently browse and survey research data. The emphasis is on helping researchers find genes responsible for disease through the use of rat models. These improvements, combined with the genomic sequence of the rat, have led to a successful year at RGD with over two million page accesses that represent an over 4-fold increase in a year. Future plans call for increased annotation of biological information on the rat elucidated through its use as a model for human pathobiology. The continued development of toolsets will facilitate integration of these data into the context of rat genomic sequence, as well as allow comparisons of biological and genomic data with the human genomic sequence and of an increasing number of organisms.
The Rat Genome Database (RGD) (http://rgd.mcw.edu) was originally created to provide the research community with a comprehensive and integrated collection of data from ongoing rat (Rattus norvegicus) genomic research, with particular emphasis on genetic markers and maps. Over time, it expanded to include radiation hybrid maps, strain information and comparative mapping tools. The initial mission was simple: to provide the genomics 'infrastructure' and create a starting point to develop a rat genomics community. Unlike other model organisms, the rat did not have a community interested in it, per se, but rather multiple, diverse communities interested in the biology of the rat as it related to human disease. The rat is arguably one of the dominant model organisms with more scientific manuscripts than any other model organism.
The rat entered the genomics scene in 1991 with the simultaneous publication of two genome scans looking for genes responsible for hypertension (1,2) and thus the rat genome project started. Over the next 8 years, significant genomic resources were built, RATMAP (http://www.ratmap.org) was launched in Sweden and the impetus for a RGD grew. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded a US-based rat genome database to house information from the tens of millions of research dollars invested and the RGD was released in 2000 (3). Since then, there has been a dramatic change in rat genomics—the informatic infrastructure for its genome now rivals that of the mouse and surpasses many model systems. RGD and its collaborators [RATMAP, NCBI (4), MGI (5), UCSC (6), EBI (7), RGSC (8), Baylor University (8), SWISS-PROT (9), BIND (10) and the PGA (http://pga.mcw.edu)] have built a powerful database that is meeting the genomic information needs of the research community and is evolving into a comprehensive platform for integrating the biology of the rat into the database. Here, we summarize our progress, data integration and concepts for evolving RGD into a phenome database as well as highlight some of the new tools.
Collins et al. (11) used the metaphor of a house to illustrate how the data from the Human Genome Project will serve as a foundation upon which a series of floors will be built to enable the application of genomics research to challenges in biology, health and society using informatics, technology and education as structural posts. With its strong and long history of research in the biochemical, neurological, nutritional, pharmacological and physiological components of biology and pathobiology, the rat, arguably the best 'functionally' characterized mammalian model system (12), will play a substantial role in enabling the Human Genome Project to fulfill its promise for the development of new therapies and cures for complex human diseases. The rat system brings a rich research portfolio to the blue print of the human genome via comparative genomics. Consequently, RGD will be dedicated to providing the research community with well-annotated data and the necessary tools for the integration, mining and comparative analyses required to understand the mechanisms of human disease, and to meet the needs of the expanding rat research community. Last year, accesses to RGD jumped 4-fold, most probably due to the release of the genomic sequence and the new data and tools that were made available.
The RGD has grown considerably in terms of number of data objects, annotations using ontologies and tools for data integration. We initiated efforts to increase biological content in the database and to attach it to the genome, while maintaining our core strengths as a comprehensive database of rat genomic data and genomic tools. The RGD also progressed towards becoming a phenome-oriented database. For the sake of clarity, we define phenome to mean the comprehensive phenotypic characterization of a single species (13). However, we propose that this definition be expanded to include a comparative component. The concept of a human phenome database as described by Freimer and Sabatti (14) meets the goals outlined by Collins et al. (11) for building a platform to elucidate the mechanisms of complex diseases by layering genetic variation, pathway and phenotype data onto the genome, thus providing links among molecules, cells, tissues and whole organisms. Since experimentation is limited in humans, function and mechanisms elucidated from model organisms will be necessary in order to make full use of the human genome project. The rat's dominant role in physiology and drug development makes it a critical component of the human phenome efforts.
The data in RGD comes from a variety of sources ranging from curation of the literature and electronic curation to data submitted by members of the research community. As of September 2004, there were 6200 genes (26% of the predicted 24000 genes), 2539 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) (708 rat, 1677 mouse and 152 human). For example, we have all 708 rat QTLs, 97% of mouse QTLs and 15% of human QTLs, 10033 simple sequence length polymorphisms (SSLPs), 714 strains, 593880 expressed sequence tags (ESTs), 7528 homologs and 11203 references in the database.
The availability of the genomic sequence has changed the users' needs with respect to RGD's data and tools. For example, the use of the radiation hybrid (RH) RHMAP server has declined from 15% of the tool accesses in 2001 to <1% in 2004. The ability to perform BLAST and BLAT (together accounting for 6% of all tool use) on genomic sequences, reduces the need to use RH mapping. Similarly, the use of the genetic maps decreased from 21% of the tool page accesses in 2003 to 5% in 2004. In contrast, we have seen a doubling (from 12 to 24%) in the requests for information about genes from 2003 to 2004. We anticipate that the need for gene annotation will only continue to increase for known and predicted genes. Indeed, 13% of the data accessed at RGD are ontology-related annotations and 1% for homolog data. In total, 38% of the data being accessed by the community relate to genomic sequence. We do, however, realize that genetic and RH maps (15) remain an essential underpinning of RGD and for rat research in general. Thus, RGD will continue to maintain these tools, but will prioritize implementation of tools focused on new data types.
In 2004, RGD released a series of new tools to facilitate the use and visualization of the enormous volume of genomic sequence and related biological data, including a rat genome browser built upon GBrowse (16). RGD's Gbrowse provides the following basic tracks: RGD markers, genes and QTLs, which have been integrated with UCSC (6) and Ensembl browser projects (17) via reciprocal links. It also provides biological data tracks based on Gene Ontology (GO) (18), Mammalian Phenotype (MP) Ontology, Disease Ontology (DO) and Pathway Ontology (PO) annotations. A second tool, the Gene Annotation tool (GAtool), enables researchers to obtain data from multiple sources, using a system that links gene IDs from KEGG (19), Swiss-Prot (9), Entrez Gene (20) and sequence identifiers from NCBI, Affymetrix (http://www.affymetrix.com) and The Institute for Genome Research (21). The tool can be queried through a web form and it returns and relates gene data with physiological and disease information through tabulation. The data points in the table are hyperlinked and allow the user to further retrieve data from the original sources. We anticipate that these tools will draw increased utilization as the users become familiar with them.
We made several modifications to our comparative genomics suite of tools, which remains a particular strength of RGD. Since its initial release in 2001, VCmap has remained a major tool, accounting for 14% of tool use. It is based on radiation hybrid maps of rat, human and mouse. The use of radiation hybrid maps, and the visualization of the results as genetic maps make it extremely easy to use. The ability to center the results on human, mouse or rat, depending upon the user's preference has drawn users from other research communities to RGD. VCMap also includes human cytogenic markers, allowing it to provide integration with a wider range of traits mapped in rat, mouse and human (22). The addition of QTLs to this tool is likely to increase its utility. It is now possible to explore QTLs between rat, mouse and human, based upon a genomic region in any one of the three species providing a comparative view of phenotypes and diseases. VCMap will continue to be a major tool for RGD for the next several years, because of its flexibility and ability to complement Genome Browsers with which it shares a lot of data. Therefore, we will turn it into a sequence-based tool over the next several years, while maintaining a 'genetic map' look.
While the power of rat is in its physiological/biological characterization, attaching these types of data to the rat genome remains a challenge for several reasons. First, physiological studies are context dependent, e.g. is blood pressure measured by tail-cuff at age X the same as blood pressure measured by telemetry at age Z? What if the QTLs for these two traits overlap? Two, the data sets are not always easy to integrate, e.g. EKG or EEG data. Three, different strains and substrains show different phenotypes, and many investigators use outbred animals adding another degree of variation in the published data that requires human arbitration. Nonetheless, it is essential that RGD deploy a variety of strategies to accelerate the ability to capture these types of biological information.
RGD has become the 'keeper' of the strain lists for the rat community and currently houses 714 strains (485 inbred, 8 outbred, 193 congenic, 14 consomic and 14 transgenic). Strain information accounted for 9% of page accesses in 2004 and its annotation offers an immediate opportunity to add biological information to the database. Consequently, we have expanded our efforts to develop visualization and search tools to view the data. For example, we released a new tool, the ACP Haplotyper. This program 'builds' haplotypes from SSLPs for 48 strains characterized with nearly 5000 SSLP markers (23). As the number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are genotyped in the different rat strains increase, we anticipate adding these data to the haplotypes. Also, our colleagues in the Program for Genomic Applications (PGA) at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) have developed a series of tools for analyzing strain characteristics (http://pga.mcw.edu/pga-bin/strain_profile.cgi). RGD is evolving these into tools for the rat community. As the number of strains, and congenic, consomic, transgenic, knock-out, ENU mutant and cloned rats all increase, it is anticipated that this component of RGD will expand.
Another relatively easy means to assign biology to the genome is via QTLs. RGD has now curated all 708 rat QTLs. With a large number of genome scans from mouse and human research, it is useful to add these data into RGD. Therefore, we have loaded 1677 mouse QTLs from MGI and we have begun to load human QTLs. We will prioritize human QTL integration based on their relationships to phenotypes studied and mapped in rat, then based on location. For example, some regions of the rat genome have a high density of QTLs; we can survey regions of conserved synteny in humans to see if there are QTLs in this region for curation. Eventually, we will load all human QTLs and will maintain the curation in RGD as the genes are identified and the mechanisms of disease elucidated.
The use of ontologies provides the framework for classifying, representing and navigating across gene, phenotype and disease information, answering the community's need to link genomic data to physiology and disease (18,24). Ontologies are a powerful means of facilitating the search for information across numerous data sets. RGD implemented the GO (18), for gene data, followed by Mammalian Phenotype (MP) ontology and DO to facilitate functional annotations. The MP was initially developed at Mouse Genome Informatics (5) and is now being developed in a collaborative effort between RGD and MGI. For the DO, we adopted the 'C' branch of the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) (25) hierarchy used by the National Library of Medicine (NLM). There are 65817 gene annotations to GO in RGD: 22093 for rat, 16527 for human and 27197 for mouse. For the MP, there are 2010 annotations for 388 rat genes, 836 QTLs, 384 homologs and 402 strains, while the DO has 2114 annotations (636 rat genes, 756 QTLs, 542 homologs and 180 strains). A fourth ontology for annotating pathway data has been developed at RGD in order to integrate data from existing pathway databases such as the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (19), REACTOME (26), GenMapDB (27) and the Biomolecular Interaction Database (9), as well as pathway data found in the literature. Currently, there are 373 annotations to the PO. In 2004, a new Advanced Search was released in RGD featuring Boolean methods that allow users to combine query concepts and delimiters for the types of biological data to be returned, e.g. genes, QTLs and strains. Unlike most search engines, RGD searches both ontology annotations and synonyms, and free text notes. The inclusion of ontology annotation and synonym searching provides power beyond simple pattern matching. This new tool has met with success as it now accounts for 64% of tool use, up from 38% in 2003. The large increase in the use of this tool, and the decrease in the use of other tools, suggest that the ontologies are facilitating searches and providing the users with the information they need. Direct access to RGD's ontology system is available through a browser that provides entry to all the graphs and their annotations via a search form (http://rgd.mcw.edu/ontology/ont_search.cgi). Figure Figure1a1a shows an example of an ontology report page. The ontology report provides links to detailed information (object reports) about the objects annotated with the term. The object reports, in turn, provide lists of terms to which each object is linked (Figure (Figure1b).1b). Through these reciprocal links, researchers can traverse related terms within and between ontologies and sets of objects, including genes, QTLs and strains. 'Ontology tracks' have also been implemented as browser tracks (Figure (Figure2),2), some with an associated drop down menu that enable users to obtain more information on the object or the term. The tracks are intended to provide researchers with the ability to inspect the genome for biological phenomena, expressed through ontology annotations, related to specific sequence features like genes and QTLs. They can show points and regions of consequence on the genome such as exons and SNPs and relate them spatially to biological phenomena.
Over the last 4 years, RGD has been the communication hub for the rat community. This role remains steady and accounts for 13% of all tool use at RGD [7% for Rat Community Forum, (RCF) 1% for Newsletter and 5% for help]. Users find announcements of meetings, courses and changes to RGD. RGD has also become a major conduit for communication between the disparate rat users via the RCF. We also continue to try and expand ways for the community to participate in building the data repository through web forms for researchers to register and submit gene, QTL and strain data. RGD works with the Mouse Genome Informatics (5) and Human Genome Organization (28) to achieve uniformity and standardization in gene nomenclature and to enable the rat, human, mouse and other biomedical research communities to relate discoveries within each other's domains. Moreover, RGD has numerous links with other databases and browsers, which represent many of our collaborators. Figure Figure33 illustrates a few of these relationships and denotes RGD's role in ensuring that rat data are accurate and available for these groups. Finally, RGD seeks to establish important reciprocal links to other major sites to facilitate navigation between the various groups that house, generate and analyze data and information referenced or useful to RGD users.
The RGD mission to provide researchers with current genetic and genomic data, as well as the tools necessary to relate these data and information to the physiology and biology of complex phenotypes and diseases, is on task. We expanded our efforts to meet the evolving needs of the research community. As demonstrated here, we increased the biological content of RGD, explored new ways to manage and query data and made curation more efficient. Our genomics and genetic data sets continue to expand, as do the tools that enable the users to capitalize on the data.
RGD remains sensitive to the community's needs and prioritizes data curation, tool and ontology development and collaborative activities accordingly. For example, currently, there is an expressed need to develop a system for managing the genomic sequence for the rat community. While the draft rat genome sequence is 6.8X and its assembly is very good, there are no plans to finish it. Consequently, there will be a need to update the genomic sequence assembly as further research reveals inaccuracies. Given RGD's role in the rat community, it seems natural for it to fill this critical need. We are working with the genome sequence group at Baylor University to develop a system for providing continued annotation updates of the sequence.
RGD plans to annotate all genes in the rat over the next couple of years, and to convert the VCMap tool into a sequence-based tool. We anticipate RGD will serve as a 'clearing house' for changes to the genomic sequence as the community continues to use the data. We anticipate that results from most molecular genetics approaches will be actively tied to the genomic sequence. It will serve as a Rosetta stone between the human sequence and those of other model organisms. The curation teams at RGD have also identified new target information for incorporation, including mutant genes, alleles and full-length cDNA data, along with details on mutant, knock-out, congenic and transgenic strains.
Knowledge representation through ontology annotations will be made more sophisticated through data mining of the orthogonal relationships between the different ontologies. The resulting information should shed light on the relationships between the knowledge bases that they anchor and on the information within them. These developments will provide a more sophisticated infrastructure for the ontology system. Given that RGD's ontologies cover molecular, phenotypic and disease data, this is another avenue for bridging the distance between genomics and biomedicine.
Finally, we are continuously working towards making interactions with the RGD easier and more productive. Tools that provide visual cues to help navigate the data are under development. An infrastructure that allows the outputs of tools and reports to be input directly to other tools is also planned. A prototype system that sends queries to the Gene Annotation tool from the ontology system is being implemented. Furthermore, recognizing the diversity of communities of rat researchers, portal and portlet technologies, which allow users to customize the presentation of web data according to their needs, are also earmarked for implementation.

- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 97.6% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$1.93 million to -$3.80 million.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry and the overall market, AMERICAN RLTY CAP PPTY INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- AMERICAN RLTY CAP PPTY INC has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past year. However, the consensus estimate suggests that this trend should reverse in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, AMERICAN RLTY CAP PPTY INC reported poor results of -$0.73 versus -$0.24 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings (-$0.30 versus -$0.73).
- Looking at where the stock is today compared to one year ago, we find that it is higher, and it has outperformed the rise in the S&P 500 over the same period, despite the company's weak earnings results. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, we do not believe this stock offers ample reward opportunity to compensate for the risks, despite the fact that it rose over the past year.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 291.58% to $2.65 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, AMERICAN RLTY CAP PPTY INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 31.01%.

Doggity Update
Darla took to our family, and keeps us all on schedule, like a good herding dog should. She is not in the least ashamed of the Sponge Bob tag my daughter gave her......In fact, she considers it a badge of her retirement from serious pursuits. Darla is very much my wife's dog. She requires a female to let her go out to pee. Prissy little bitch, she is......
Darla recently got a new sister, Ilsa. Ilsa is a solid black German Shepherd. Ilsa is still about as big as Darla, but she plans to get a lot taller. She has pretty much claimed ol' Xavier as her owner, and she likes her two nicknames, B.B., and E.B.D.
She is still trying to decipher the daily routines of her new household, and she howls when Xavier is out of her sight. She follows him where ever he goes, and is learning how to walk on a leash. Good dog Ilsa!

I recently had mine cut into a graduated bob, chin length at the front and a little shorter at the back (not enough for clippers, just about jaw length). I know most men prefer longer hair, but is this hair cut still feminine? Would you find a woman with this haircut attractive?
Most Helpful Guy
With so many guys out there sporting longer hair than many girls in their attempt to get into touch with their feminine sides, for me, the shorter the hair on the girl the less feminine the look. I prefer straight hair on girls and it should cover her entire back down to her waist at all times.10|10|0
Long hair looks amazing when it's in good condition, but Idon't think I've ever seen someone with hair down to their waist where the condition is good - it always looks straggly! A woman who has hair nice enough to do this is very lucky...

BRANDON LEE - chef de cuisine
With two working parents, Chef de Cuisine Brandon Lee was the prototypical latchkey kid with a massive appetite, and would prep his own meals, from instant ramen to quesadillas. It was through flipping channels that he became obsessed with TV host Alton Brown, who melded the creative process, science and unique techniques in cooking everyday dishes.
Working at various kitchens around Honolulu, Brandon attended one of the first The Pig & the Lady pop-ups at Hank's Haute Dogs, where he met his future mentor, Chef Andrew Le. Inspired by Andrew's whimsical take on food, Brandon kept in touch with Andrew and a few months after that first pop-up dinner experience, he joined the P&L team, prepping for the farmers markets and in late 2013, helped open the first brick-and-mortar located in Honolulu's Chinatown.
After working at The Pig & the Lady for almost 5 years now, Brandon is humbled and honored to head over to lead the team at Chef Andrew's second location, Piggy Smalls. Brandon looks forward to present and maintain a delicious, inventive menu and a fun dining experience that captures the eclectic nature of The Pig & the Lady, yet also bringing innovation and uniqueness that is representative of Piggy Smalls.
JUSTIN CHUN - front of the house manager
Justin Chun was a physical therapist assistant before working at The Pig and The Lady. He learned a lot working at the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific but the one important lesson he learned was to see the patient as a person and the person comes first. This one lesson is why he's the general manager of Piggy Smalls.
Born and raised in Mililani, Justin is a foodie at heart. He and his friends would try to get a seat at our popular pop-up dinners back in the day but never could. So when he heard that we were going to be a brick and mortar restaurant, Justin applied and got hired as a server assistant. He soon got promoted as a server for our dinner service and our management team saw his potential to be the general manager at Piggy Smalls.
Justin has a passion for food and understands the importance of putting the customer first.
Regino "Gino" Ojano III - pastry chef
Originally from Hilo, Hawaii, Gino's first career after graduating from Chaminade University landed him at Bright Light Marketing for about ten years as an Advertising and Marketing specialist to many of Hawaii's top companies and non-profit organizations. When the public relations firm closed its doors in 2012, Gino took the opportunity to follow his dream of going to culinary school at the Culinary Institute of the Pacific Kapiolani.
Quickly he jumped into the industry working at the Honolulu Coffee Company and during the first year opening of Vintage Cave Honolulu. Through schooling and volunteering, he found his passion for pastry arts and joined The Pig and the Lady dessert bar opening under former pastry chef Rachel Murai.
Since joining in 2014, he grew from a Pastry Cook to Pastry Sous Chef and now is the Pastry Chef for both The Pig and The Lady in Honolulu Chinatown and Piggy Smalls in Kaka'ako. Gino says, "The best part of making desserts is seeing others enjoy them. It makes me happy." Come in and say hello to Gino!
