In an address to 500 members of the capital area business community today at the Baton Rouge Business Report's Leadership Power Breakfast, Governor Bobby Jindal continued to lay out his vision for facing the state's long-term budget challenges and ensuring Louisiana's economy continues to outperform the South and nation.
Recounting numerous statistics that show the strength of Louisiana's economy in the past two years, Governor Jindal said the results are not an accident, instead they are the result of his administration's concerted and unwavering effort to grow the state's economy by keeping taxes low, reducing government spending and providing businesses with the tools they need to succeed in a global economy.
Governor Jindal said, "I have said that we will not raise taxes and we will not do anything to threaten the continued economic growth of our Louisiana businesses. We know our approach to protect our economy is not politically expedient. This is a long-term approach for the health of Louisiana's future.
"Some may argue that it is easier to pass the bill onto the Louisiana taxpayers and refuse to make the hard decisions of how to make government live within its means. It would be much easier to just keep government spending the same and turn a blind eye to the economic realities we are facing. But, we will not do that. Our people deserve better. They deserve leaders that will put the needs of the taxpayers above the needs of government."
Governor Jindal cited steps his administration is taking in the areas of health care and higher education to do more with less and still keep moving Louisiana forward.
Emphasizing federal reductions to the state's healthcare funding that make up the largest part of the state's budget challenges, the Governor highlighted an agreement he announced yesterday between LSU and Our Lady of the Lake Hospital (OLOL) that will save the state money and transform the way healthcare is delivered in Louisiana.
The Governor said if the faulty federal FMAP formula is not quickly corrected in Washington, D.C., it will cost the state $500 million a year in Medicaid funding, which will impact services for the poorest in our state, and often those who need care the most. He also said that federal changes to disproportionate share hospital (DSH) funding will cost the state around $200 million in federal health care funds, which will directly impact LSU hospitals, rural hospitals and mental health care services.
Governor Jindal said the state will make a $14 million to expand OLOL as part of a public-private partnership that will save the state $400 million by building onto existing facilities to better-serve Medicaid patients in Baton Rouge while improving the educational experience of LSU's graduate medical school students.
The Governor called the agreement the first major step in addressing Louisiana's healthcare challenges and he said it will shape the vision of what a modern, transformative system of care will look like in the state.
Governor Jindal noted that the state is working to transition the Louisiana Medicaid program from the current fee-for service delivery system to two integrated care models. One, he said, is an option for an enhanced fee-for-service Coordinated Care Network, and the other permits a Coordinated Care Network to choose to function as a prepaid integrated health network.
Governor Jindal said, "Our vision is designed around key principles like consumer choice, community leadership, aligned incentives for improved outcomes, and changing consumer behavior.
"The most important attribute is that our Medicaid enrollees can expect greater coordination of care between their primary physician and specialists required to manage chronic conditions and improve overall health."
On higher education, the Governor emphasized that the state's challenges are not solely about funding. He noted that in working with the Postsecondary Education Review Commission (PERC), the state has taken important first steps already in addressing the real challenges in Louisiana's higher education system -- achieving performance and results.
Governor Jindal said, "Too often, the debate on higher education loses sight of our number one concern -- what is best for students. When we focus on students, we all agree that Louisiana's second lowest graduation rate in the nation -- at only 38 percent -- must change. We can do better, and our students deserve to get the education they need to compete in today's 21st century workforce."
Governor Jindal said higher education officials should have more autonomy over their schools and students, but two goals must be met first. First, graduation rates must be improved, and second, the system must ensure that students are getting the specialization they need to succeed in the workforce.
Governor Jindal said, "As these two goals are met, we want higher education officials to have more autonomy over their schools. This means as they show improvement in strengthening student achievement and improve graduation rates, they are able to take more direct control over their fees, tuition and program decisions. We must all work together to focus higher education on achieving results for our students. I know we all agree that the higher education discussion isn't about boards and structure and administration. at the end of the day, it must be about students."

I'm shy when it comes to approaching them so, what can I do to get enough confidence in myself to be able to do it regularly? I'm honestly intimidated by some girls. Especially the pretty ones since i'm not good looking so i usually don't approach them at all. I tend to look for the average looking girls instead.
Most Helpful Girl
You don't have to be intimidated by women. Talk to them like you would talk to males. There is not that much of a difference, trust me on that. Go out of your comfort zone and initiate a conversation. That's all there is to it.00|00|0

Beautiful Flowers Made Out Of Orange's Peels
Flowers Made Out Of Orange's Peels
Orange's peels are versatile, as it seems! Remember the dried Toddler Fun Making Ornaments With Dried Citrus Fruits article? Here is another idea on how to use the peel. Make amazing flowers out of them. And the kids can easily help at any stage. Just the peeling will be have to be done by a grown up. And maybe when you need to stabilize something with a toothpick, you should do that, too, if your kids are not old enough. All the other stuff – making the oranges, arranging them, dust them with some confectioner sugar, and eating the oranges, of course (lots of vitamins and Vitamin C!) – all can be done by the kids! So, here is how to do it and some ideas to display them.
How to make orange peel roses
It is really easy. Peel the oranges carefully and then just roll them up. Ready are the roses! When they are fresh, they are great decor for salads or other dishes, and if you let them dry, they can be used for decorating your home. By adding some essential oils or cinnamon sticks, they will make the room smell wonderful.
Decoration ideas
They can become pieces of art
Roses of other citrus fruit peels
You can use other citrus fruits as well. Then you will have a nice variety in flower sizes and colors!
Other flowers out of citrus fruit peels
And lastly, by cutting the peel on the one side (zick-zack or curves) and then rolling them up, you will get some beautiful flowers, even other than roses!
DIY balance beam for toddlers using carpets
This one was discovered by my kids. Here in Greece, most of us have winter carpets and – not that necessary – summer carpets. So, the time came for us to roll out our winter carpets, as annoying as it is to try to get some play dough out of it. We rolled the first one out, but, something – I don't remember what – happened and we let the second one rolled up on the floor. The minute the kids saw it, the fun began! Up and down, back and forth, crawling, running or balancing, they couldn't get enough of it!!! It is kind of safe, since it has almost no height and we have it on the other carpet, so even if they should fall – which has not happened yet – it won't be a hard fall.
It is so funny! You go out and buy all this stuff for them, only to find out that an everyday item could be so much more entertaining. And it is good for gross motor skill and balance skill development, too!!!
So, we let the carpet a few days rolled up, luckily the weather is warm enough until now. And also, the carpets are so old, we don't mind if they get fed up some more… after all, it's highly unlikely that they will survive the next few years.
If you have somewhere an old carpet, bring it into the room, tie the ends with some tape so it doesn't roll open, and let your kids enjoy it!

Meatballs on a Stick
So, that is a photo of meatballs I made following my meatball recipe. As I have said in another post, my kids like their food on a stick, so that is exactly what I did! Now that my little girl is a little older, I cooked them in the oven.
I am a little reluctant to upload my own photos, since I am really not in any way a good photographer, nor am I a – even remotely close to – professional cook. I have no idea how to place dishes, how to arrange the food, how to use light, etc. Really, no clue whatsoever!
But, despite that, I will from time to time post some photos of the things I cook or make with my kids, asking you not do judge them too harshly 🙂

We made pompoms!!!
As promised, I took my kids today outside and on the way to the grocery I made a quick stop at a store with yarns. We made plans to have some fun play with pompoms!
I bought a few nice ones – actually some were chosen by my three-year old son (you know how they choose, right? Son: "That one mom, I want that one!" Me: "Oh that's nice! But isn't this one with the many colours super-great?" – Well, it worked half the times and we fortunately avoided that awful brownish one he wanted at first!).
So, back at home, we began with the pompom making!!! That was fun!!! First, I tried a few methods and determined that I liked the one with only using the hands better. Next, I asked my boy for his helping hand. Literally! I used his sweet little hand for the first step. He was delighted! I don't think he stands often that still for that "long". Meanwhile, my 18-month old girl decorated the whole house laughing and running around with the neon-yellow yarn! She was having a blast!!! As soon as my son's job was done, he moved on helping her decorating! You can imagine what my house looked like!
Next I made the knot (it has to be as tight as possible). And then the cut with the scissors (you'll need a good scissor for best results). And then… well then… well, at least my kids loved them, lol!!!
It took a few moments for me to realize that trimming the yarn was of out-most importance!!! Also, I maybe should choose some thinner yarn next time. Oh, and next time I'll choose some funny yarns, too. You know, those fluffy, or flattened ones. And I saved the yarn that was trimmed. I really don't know why!!! Maybe I'll find some way of using them, stuffing something with it, perhaps.
Anyway, it was fun and we will surely make lot's of them – after all, we have the yarn!!!

Amazing pine cone roses to make with your toddler
Now, tell me. Isn't that a beautiful idea? And easy (I love easy!!!).
What do you have to do? Well, first, grab a lovely bag (some have a special "treasure bag") and then take a nice walk with your kids, gathering some well-shaped pine cones and suitable wooden twigs. While gathering, try to get writ of all the seeds that could be in the pine cones. Back at home, the next fun step can begin! Painting!
Take all the possible measures to avoid getting paint all over your place (hint: you'll never get 100% protection!). And then just paint the pine cones together with your kids in bright colours and the twigs dark green (or whatever your kids want, why should they be restricted?). Toddlers can help just as well, just use some appropriate colour material. The result might not be that nice as in the picture, but, really, who cares about the results? It is all about the fun!!! Next step is to make the leafs, two for each rose are enough. Just get some paper and paint. Then cut out the leafs. Ready! The last step is to put it all together. The suggestion is to use a hot glue gun and glue for doing that.
For more information and step-by-step images and instructions, visit http://www.creativegreenliving.com/2013/07/craft-camp-day-3-pine-cone-roses-from.html

10 Healthy Breakfast Ideas

Sock snowmen
I had to share this, they are sooooooo adorable!!! I will definitely try to make some of them together with my kids (well, at least with the older one). When I do – and if they are somewhat presentable 🙂 – I'll post the pictures. The link for the really easy instructions is http://www.darkroomanddearly.com/2011/12/10th-day-of-christmas-sock-snowmen.html
Fun Toddler and Kids Food – Rolling A Toast
So simple and yet mouthwatering! Just get (or make!) some whole-grain toast bread without crusts – or cut them off. Then flatten the slices with a rolling pin. And now get creative! Use whatever ingredients you like. Tomato, cucumber, cream cheese, ham, the variations are countless! You can combine fruits as well. Once you have arranged them on the toast, all you – or your kids – need to do, is to roll them up. If you want you can cut them in a way that they get a "sushi" look, or you can grill them. Tasty!!!
For a sweeter rolled toast you can try the French toast variation, proposed by http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com. Don't they look awesome?
Snowmen inside your home
I just love this idea. So easy, the kids will have fun and it will be such a beautiful decoration! If only we had a white refrigerator! But for those who have one, check it out!
Tips for your toddler's finger food and a meatball recipe
Somewhere after the age of 9-10 months, babies start demanding to eat food with their hands. And by all means, let them do exactly that! It will create a mess, agreed, but it is a very important development stage for your baby to do exactly that. It needs to explore the food, get to know it, examine it in every aspect, not just to fill its belly. So, in order for your baby to get to love food for what it is, you need to keep in mind a few things: continue reading
A little different "Souvlaki"
My kids love to eat food on a stick, like "Souvlaki" or kebab. So, here is an idea, colourful, fun and nutritious, if you choose the right ingredients. Use whole-wheat or multi-grain bread, even better if it's home-made, turkey fillet, high quality cheese (e.g. Greek Graviera Cheese) and vegetables, like tomato, cucumber, carrots, baby spinach leafs or some other green leaf vegetable. Then use some fun cookie cutters and …continue reading…
Marshmallow happy pops
Marshmallows are a favourite candy. Pops are fun. Colourful sprinkles are just making you happy. And chocolate… well, chocolate isjust the best thing!!! So, what will you get, if you combine all of those wonderful things? Marshmallow happy pops!!!
Fun with leafs for your toddler
If you go for a walk, let your kids gather some beautiful leafs. Back at home they can have funmaking an autumn collage or an autumn leaf crown!
Toddler felt christmas tree
This is a great and fun activity for your toddler. Just get some green felt and cut out a large Christmas tree. Then, using different colours, cut out some decorations and make candles, gifts, ornaments and, of course, a star for the top! Put some self adhesive velcro on the back of each decoration item and your toddler is ready to enjoy it! Again and again and again!!! This works also with plain paper, but you will need glue to get the items to stick, excpet if you think of another solution, e.g.velcro on both, items and tree.
Autumn cork painting for toddlers
That seems like something we'll be trying soon!

In a couple of months I will be taking my first certification test (CompTIA A+ Essentials). I was wondering which certifications are the most important?
11 Replies
Nov 15, 2011 at 2:08 UTC
What are you interested in doing? Project management, Windows Sys Admin, Network Admin, Linux Admin, Security, Helpdesk? I'd give a different answer for pretty much any goal.
Nov 15, 2011 at 2:14 UTC
I agree with Justin. It all depends on where you want to go in your career.
Nov 15, 2011 at 2:15 UTC
Windows System Admin, Helpdesk and Security
Nov 15, 2011 at 2:19 UTC
A+ is a good start as many entry level jobs are looking for it. After that I would look at the Microsoft Desktop certs on Win7 (which are also part of the MCITP on Server which replaced the MSCE). After that I would move towards the MCITP on Server 2008 R2 and consider doing your elective exams on security topics.
I like Comptia for getting past HR for job interviews, but if you are working in MS shops the vendor specific certs hold more value and are more challenging to obtain.
Nov 15, 2011 at 2:28 UTC
Don't forget networking. If you are going to be working in security you will need good fundamentals in networking. Look into at least a comptia net+, but you will be better off with a CCNA.
Nov 15, 2011 at 2:28 UTC
This interests me as well, but i think a better question is what certifications are the most valuble for entering the industry. Say, the top three an average IT department would be looking for.
I'm starting school next week for a 14 month stint to get a fistful of certs, just so I can be more valuable now and in the future to any employer.
Some serious time and investment goes towards certifications, so a prospective IT person would like to know this sort of thing. As Justin said, it varies, but in all of my searching, that's about the only answer i have ever seen. So, Spiceheads, If you were to hire someone on entry level, what three certs would you want them to have?
Nov 15, 2011 at 2:32 UTC
From experience, having more certs got me more interviews. It got me past the artificial screeners in many cases. In one job I was competing with a friend of mine, he was more qualified, I had more certs. I got an interview and he didn't.
Now I sit on the other side of the table. When I am hiring for entry level certs don't matter much. However if a candidate has certs I will ask them technical questions based on what the certs cover. If they bomb the questions I will actually see the cert as a negative as they have the credential and can't show the knowledge. When I am interviewing I am looking at attitude and how a person learns. In an entry level position the tech skills can be taught easily, the social skills and attitudes can't be.
Nov 15, 2011 at 7:40 UTC
Remember, certs might get you through an initial round, but applied knowledge is what employers actually want. If you're going to get certs, make sure you set up a home lab to work with those products in a hands-on manner. That's not as good as working on them in a live environment, but the next best thing.
If Windows support is what you want, the MCITP is the path to go.
Networking is another thing to study, along with Security and Virtualization. CompTIA has nice vendor-neutral certs for the first two (more basic level stuff).
When it comes to virtualization, it's harder to be vendor-neutral.
Microsoft MCTS:
VMware VCP:
Nov 16, 2011 at 9:01 UTC
CCNA for networking, MCITP:Server for Windows sys admin, REHL or LPI for *nix admin. CEH or OCSP for security.
Nov 17, 2011 at 2:47 UTC
In a couple of months I will be taking my first certification test (CompTIA A+ Essentials). I was wondering which certifications are the most important?
Thanks for the question, I think this helped me decide on what path to take.
Nov 18, 2011 at 9:27 UTC
Thanks everyone for all the advice and help.

Alright so I've been using gumpaste for ahh well about a week now My wife and I are making our sons 1 year old birthday cake and it's jungle theme. My wife made the monkey on the left and I made the one on the right. She wasn't home today to aid me through the process so it's not nearly as clean as hers, anywho. Enjoy!
I think they are great! I'm experimenting with gumpaste now..
I think that they look great as well, and I am right there with ya...I am just starting to mess with gumpaste and I think that I really like it for flowers but I am not so sure that I have the talent to create figurines and animals and stuff like that!
They are both very cute! Nice job!
Very cute, nice work... What a fun project for the two of you. For some reason the monkey on the right (your monkey?) looks just a bit like a hippotamus, just the head shape... maybe it is just my computer....

A shocking difference can be seen between the Front pages and the News pages on Reddit.com and Voat.co
Those sites are the top news voting sites in the world. Reddit is financed by Hillary Clinton's Silicon Valley backers and it is clear that Reddit has been scrubbed clean of all Wikileaks and any negative news stories about Clinton. A side-by-side comparison of the two sites, at any given time, tells the story!

After being separated from Adhuna Akhtar, rumours were doing rounds that Farhan Akhtar is in a relationship with his Rock On 2 co-star Shraddha Kapoor. After a while, rumours started pointing at Aditi Rao Hydari's relationship with Farhan.
Not ending with Shraddha and Aditi, rumours were also doing the rounds that Farhan Akhtar has been in a relationship with Kalki Koechlin. Not taking all these anymore, Farhan Akhtar finally speaks out and rubbishes the rumours.
Farhan Akhtar was quoted as saying,
"Well, I really don't know why the rumours spread like fire and why the rumours have started. I guess people enjoy what they watch on screen and feel the chemistry that is happening on screen... maybe they confuse it with what is happening in real life."
Also Read: 20 Inspiring Quotes From Shahrukh Khan That Will Make Your Day!
So in his comments, Farhan has clearly dismissed the rumours about link-ups with Shraddha, Aditi & Kalki and says that what's shown on-screen is far different and unreal off-screen.
Also Read: Bikini Shopping! Neha Dhupia Hunts For The Best Bikini In Fiji
We totally agree with Farhan Akhtar's point about this one. Linking an actor to every actress he works with, is totally wrong. However, both Farhan & Adhuna have not really come out in the open and revealed why their marriage failed. This leaves a lot of room to rumourmongering and unwanted gossips.
Whatever the reason be, we really hope both Farhan Akhtar and Adhuna Akhtar reveal the truth behind their split and clear off all doubts & speculations regarding the matter.

The FAA wonders why pilots occasionally land on taxiways, and in new Engineering Brief No. 72 recommended "mitigation measures" to prevent such landings. Airports should identify potential problem areas such as "visual contrast of the taxiway compared to the runway; natural lighting conditions at the airfield; and the existence of parallel runways." However, the brief explained, "Not all incidents of landing on taxiways can be prevented by measures under the control of the airport. Indeed, some recent incidents defy all logic as to why they occur and are unlikely to be affected by any marking, lighting or airport layout initiatives."

Lil Kaari
Love Always
If I gave you the key to my heart would you treasure it?
If I told you it was a book would you read it?
If I told you, in my heart you would always be second would you accept it?
Would you love me through all and treasure me no matter what?
Never let me down, love me always?
Even If you had to read 64 books and believe what they say?
Love and accept me through whatever comes our way?
Just love me always and unconditionally?
And promise to never break my heart?

I don't really sell cakes - I just do them for my family and friends. I've only sold one cake before and I WAY undercharged. Recently I was contacted by a "friend of a friend" about doing a graduation cake. My Mother was at my house the other day and I mentioned my pricing dilema and her advice was to use grocery store prices and charge $5- 10 Less. (This is from the same woman who thought I should charge $50 for my Harry Potter cake). I tried to explain how grocery stores can charge next to nothing because their costs are so low and I THINK she understood. My mother is extremely cheap she probally thinks the grocery store prices are too high!
LOL See now that's funny....my mom is the opposite. I think it comes from her doing a lifetime of hand crafts (knitting, quilting, sewing, etc) and those type of labor-intensive crafts being undervalued when it comes to people wanting to pay for them.
Unless they are in the food industry business, I ignore family member's opinions on anything business. Odds are good they just. don't. get it.
read my signature line for my mom's advice...
My MIL is the same way. She will always ask what I charge for a specific cake, then get all bug eyed and go :Ohhhh:. I amazes me as she has seen how long things take that she is still aghast at the price.
My mom helps me bake when I have a large order and she is frequently here when I'm decorating. Before that, she thought my prices were high, but she understood why people would pay that. Now that she has seen what goes into baking and decorating the cookies, she thinks I should raise my prices, but she would never pay that for a cookie! LOL! I'm the same way. I could never afford to pay $3+ per cookie for a large party, but I'm glad there are those that can!

Urban Stoller Blanket
2 Recommendations
DelightJenny's recommendation
My godson live in NYC and when you live in NYC as a child your whole life becomes about how comfortable you are in your stroller. Walking being the only form of transportation that my friend and her family take this stroller blanket was a must have for them. I bought it for my godsons first birthday and they have been using it ever since. Equipped with zippered length and width extensions, this amazing stroller blanket grows with your child from infancy to preschool. Versatile and durable, it adapts to any stroller or car seat and converts into a large blanket.
srousseau's recommendation
these work so well

A common technique for saving dynamic power is to insert clock gates. Clock gates are elements that control the arrival of clock signals to sequential elements. If a condition can be found in which the sequential element does not need to load data, then power can be saved by blocking the clock signal. This can be performed via XOR self-gating, an effective technique for reducing dynamic power consumption.

Written by Simply Zesty on 11 April 2013
What if the world wide web is not really what it says it is? If the arrival of internet communication has allowed us to connect with anyone or anything, anywhere in the world, why do we ultimately find ourselves engaging with news, information and people that are hyperlocal, and have a connection to us either geographically or socially?
Written by Simply Zesty on 19 February 2013
Every single day, it feels like something will come along and be the next big social network that takes over, and today we cover another pretender to that post. The site is called Nextdoor and rather than focus on one huge social network, it aims to connect people within their neighborhoods to each other.
Written by Simply Zesty on 5 February 2013
When you think about the main social networks, most people are in agreement that there are four main players... LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. While most brands and businesses spend a fortune on advertising and creative campaigns on social media, there is one huge opportunity staring everybody in the face that is waiting to be exploited.
Written by Simply Zesty on 13 March 2012

Quote/saying Help Requested -Mothers/garden/children/flowers
Decorating By TracyLH Updated 18 Apr 2009 , 3:16pm by kellymarie
I am so sorry that subject title was so vague, but I am having a hard time finding a quote to tie into a theme I am doing for Mother's Day and if anyone can help, that would be very much appreciated.
I am designing cookies for Mother's Day and wish to incorporate a garden theme/flowers and have an additional cookie with a quote/saying about mothers being 'gardeners' for their children/flowers. Kind of along the lines of "Mothers give their children wings so they can fly", but with a garden or flower theme. Does this make sense?
I have scoured the aisles at Hallmark, done all sorts of on-lline searches, but am coming up short and anything I come up with sounds hokey. If anyone know of something they have on bookmark, a frame or anything, I would sincerely appreciate the help! Thanks if you know of anything!!!
A mother's love to her children, is like a garden, she plants the seeds, waters, and gives her garden the love, security, and nuture that her seeds will grow into beautiful robust flowers.
I know that this is not a perfect saying and maybe a little long, but hopefully it will give you some ideas to play off of. I hope this helps.
This definitely helps! Thanks!
I made a picture for My mama from my daughter, this is what i used (In Italian and English)
"A garden of Love grows in a Grandmother's heart"
"Un giardino di Amore cresce in un cuore della Nonna"
You might be able to bend that to fit!

As to what exactly the thinking behind this new device is, we're quite unsure. If anything, this move seems particularly odd, considering BlackBerry has already outed the budget-unfriendly Q5 in some parts of the globe, a device that also retains much of the hallmark design and more importantly – is based on the newer BB10. If anything, we would've expected something along the lines of a decidedly low-end, BB10-based device and not yet another QWERTY handset running on the largely obsolete BB7.
Regardless, for the more curious of you, head for the gallery and take a peak.

Today, FLIR, the Major League Soccer Portland Timbers, and Portland Fire & Rescue are working together for a good cause. Before today's Timbers' match at Portland's Providence Park against the New York Red Bulls, FLIR employees and Portland Fire Department firefighters are collecting donations for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF). FLIR is a proud supporter of the NFFF and their programs, which honor fallen firefighters, assist their survivors and aid in the prevention of line-of-duty deaths and injuries.
With all the incredible "superpowers" infrared technology offers, just like with any technology, it has its limitations and needs support. That's why our friends over at the Infrared Training Center (ITC) created this short video, outlining the top five accessories to compliment your thermal camera inspection. Consider the below five items the Robin to your Batman, every great superhero needs a sidekick and these are the five you should never conduct an inspection without.
Today, autonomous or driverless vehicles are in the news every day. Their potential to disrupt the way we travel and transport goods promises to be world-altering, and the use of sensors, including FLIR's own thermal imaging sensors, will be critical in helping innovate this promising industry.
Today we introduced a new series of fixed thermal security cameras, the FLIR FB Series O. Designed for short to mid-range perimeter protection, the FLIR FB-Series O offers plug-and-play integration with FLIR United VMS and certified by other major third-party video management solutions, making it a versatile solution for new or existing security systems.
FLIR Outdoor and Tactical Systems introduces the FLIR ThermoSight Pro Series weapon sights, a new level of performance, compact power and superior value to the sporting, law enforcement and tactical markets.
Today, we commemorate World Ranger Day and acknowledge the critical work wildlife rangers do to protect the world's natural treasures. To better understand the role they play each and every day, we interviewed Ole Lancas, Park Ranger at Maasai Mara National Reserve in Africa, who describes his experience with FLIR Scout handheld thermal cameras and how thermal technology is instrumental in the fight against illegal poaching of elephants and rhinos.

The Cotswolds are a range of hills in southwestern and west-central England, an area 25 miles across and 90 miles long. The area has been designated as the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The highest point in the Cotswolds range is Cleeve Hill at 1,083 ft, 2.5 miles to the north of Cheltenham.
The Cotswolds lie mainly within the counties of Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, but extend into parts of Wiltshire, Somerset, Worcestershire, and Warwickshire. The hills give their name to the Cotswold local government district in Gloucestershire, which administers a large part of the area.
In June 1981 Len and Rita Fairclough enjoyed a holiday in the region and the place was visited again for a post-Christmas break by Ken Barlow and Alma Sedgewick in December 1991 when they stayed at an unnamed hotel. The visit was cut short though when Alma confessed to sleeping with Mike Baldwin, causing Ken to check out of the hotel and return home. Rita visited the area again in June 1992 for her honeymoon after her marriage to Ted Sullivan and in December 2000 Natalie Barnes sold the Rovers and moved to the Cotswolds to live with her cousin Helen where she gave birth to her daughter Laura.

EA Games Announces Need For Speed: The Run
I've never been a fan of the Burnout series but have heard many gamers say it was good. I have, however, been a huge fan of the Need for Speed series. While the NFS series has fluctuated in quality from game to game, it is still a series I would always give time to evaluate. I wasn't much of a fan of the Need For Speed: Underground series. My two personal favorite games of the series were Hot Pursuit 2 (the PS2 original and the 2010 remake) and Most Wanted. Those two games brought the best cars, the best action, the best cop chases, and the coolest maps out of the entire series.
NFS has just announced that they will be releasing a new game, coming November 15th, called NFS: The Run. EA says this will take gamers on the "race of their lives" which makes me think it will be more like Most Wanted and less like NFS: Carbon.
The Run will incorporate the Autolog feature which will allow friend-tracking and matchmaking for online multi-player fun. Expect this title to ship on every major video game platform, and who knows they may even throw a pre-order discount like they did last year with the Hot Pursuit 2 remake. Definitely take a peak at the teaser trailer below to see more!

Washington Looks to Boost Tobacco Tax
Initiative aims to keep cigarettes out of kids' reach, small businesses might be endangered by increase.
Washington already has the nation's second-highest state excise tax on tobacco at 74.9 percent of the wholesale price. Only Alaska charges more, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported. And if voters pass statewide Initiative 773 next week, Washington's tobacco tax would jump even further.
Washington's current surcharge on cigarettes would increase from 82.5 cents per pack to $1.425. Additionally, the initiative would increase the surcharge on other tobacco products, including cigars, to 129.4 percent, more than double the wholesale price.
The new tax would boost cigarette prices to more than $5 per pack. Though another jump in cost may convince smokers to quit, as proponents hope, others doubt that any businesses are in danger of losing their entire customer base. Still, doctors, health organizations and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention agree that raising tobacco prices will lead to a steady decrease in use.
Those backing the initiative -- the American Cancer Society and the American Lung and Heart associations, among others -- hope the higher price will take a pack of smokes out of the reach of young people. The legislation also designates portions of the extra revenue to fund the state's Basic Health Plan for low-income families and anti-tobacco campaigns.
Opponents say Initiative 773 misses on two points. First, that earmarking extra revenue for new programs is fiscally irresponsible, and second, that raising prices will not stop people from using. Additionally, they say raising taxes unfairly punishes smokers and could force small businesses, particularly mom-and-pop convenience stores, out of business.
"What you're doing is choosing to tax a minority in the state to benefit everybody in the state," said T.K. Bentler, a lobbyist for the Washington Association of Neighborhood Stores.
Besides critics of the initiative, such as Philip Morris -- the tobacco giant has contributed nearly $76,000 to the I-773 opposition, the report said -- plans to shift tax revenues to certain programs are not sitting well with at least two former legislative budget writers and the non-partisan Washington Research Council.
The council contends that the state likely will collect extra revenue from the higher tax for the first several years, making it possible to reserve the money for new health programs. But later on, if sales drop so much that the extra money would stop coming in, the Legislature will be trapped into continuing the new programs, said Kriss Sjoblom, economist and vice president of research for the council.
Bentler, who is also a lobbyist for RJ Reynolds Tobacco Co., is on the Board of Trustees of the Washington Research Council. The organization, however, has a consistent record of analyzing budgetary issues and coming out against initiatives to set public policy, and against reserving funds for specific programs. He maintains that cigarette makers will still move their products -- that if people do not buy from Washington stores, they will buy in other states, from Native American smoke shops or over the Internet.

Rare plant species conservation
Tehmeena Chaudhry, Lucas Colantoni and Paul Kim
-One of the 3 conventions derived from the Rio Summit in 1992
Welcome to our tackk board! Here we will be posting about our BIOL4095 presentation on rare plant conservation efforts. -Tehmeena
Did you know?
-Over 8000 plant species worldwide are threatened with extinction
-Researchers recently estimated that between 22 and 47% of the world's flora is in decline
-In the U.S. 744 plant species are federally listed as threatened or endangered
Many factors can contribute to loss of plant species (see Figure 5 from Schemske et al. 1994)
1) Anthropogenic habitat destruction
2) Competition from invasive species
3) Overharvesting
4) Pollution
*These threats can act synergistically*
Objectives of "Evaluating the approaches to the conservation of rare and endangered plants" a paper by Schemske et al. cited over 900 times!!!
1)Determine usefulness of research on rare plant conservation in conservation efforts
2)Review the importance of biological, political and economic constraints to recovery efforts
3)Review 98 species designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services
4)Outline the crucial steps that should be considered in the recovery of endangered plants
Results of Schemske et al. paper
1) Rare and endangered plants have a small number of populations, restricted geographic ranges, narrow habitat requirements, and face a diversity of threats to their persistence
2) For most species, demographic information is far more useful in assessing status and in developing recovery efforts than genetic information
3) Agencies and private organizations involved in plant conservation would gain from sharing biological data on rare plants and details of the successes and failures of recovery measures --> Communication is KEY
The Development of recovery efforts requires a top-down approach, 3 main questions need to be answered
1) What is the biological status of the species; is the population size increasing, decreasing or stable?
2) What are the life history strategies that have the greatest effect on population growth and species persistence?
3) What are the biological causes of variation in those life history strategies that have a major demographic impact?
Schemske et al. (1994)
Political, economic and biological factors must be incorporated into management strategies
New theoretical and empirical tools are needed (i.e. GoBotany)
GoBotany is an interactive site that allows users to identify over 3,000 New England plants by using a Full Identification Key, including technical multiple-access and dichotomous keys to families, genera, and species! This is a great way to spread awareness and identify rare or endangered plant species!
Here's a link to the site, check it out! gobotany.newenglandwild.org
-193 of 195 countries are a party member of the CBD (Only USA, Andorra and Somalia have not signed the treaty)
-remarkable global political consensus
3 main goals of CBD:
-Conservation of biodiversity
-Sustainable use of the components of biodiversity
-Sharing the benefits of biodiversity in a fair and equitable way
"Our vision is of a positive sustainable future where human activities support the diversity of plant life (including the endurance of plant genetic diversity, survival of plant species and communities and their associated habitats and ecological associations), and where in turn the diversity of plants support and improve our livelihoods and well-being"
Functional Groups of rare plants differ in levels of imperilment (Farnsworth and Ogurcak, 2008)
Which plants do we save?
There are only a finite number of resources (money, effort) available to us to help conserve rare plants. Therefore, priorities have to be set by determining which plants require immediate attention. This paper describes certain traits and habitats of plants that correlate with higher population or range loss.
Farnsworth and Ogurcak (2008) quantitatively examined the effects of different life history traits of 71 rare plants. They identified trends associated with certain traits and habitats by looking at loss of populations and estimated range area lost (Farnsworth and Ogurcak, 2008).
Traits examined:
Pollination syndrome, symbiosis, clonality, dispersal, wetland status, calciphile, disturbance dependence, and range
4 of the 8 traits examined (pollination syndrome, dispersal, wetland status, range) showed significant differences in population loss and/or area range loss (Figure 1 and Figure 2)
This study by Farnsworth and Ogurcak (2008) comparatively analyzed a large sample of rare plant species and provided statistical analysis on the different levels of plant imperilment. This analysis is an especially useful tool when considering how to allocate conservation attention globally, as the finite resources available for the growing need of biodiversity conservation is currently a major problem.

The term "strongest animal" can be misleading, but most often it refers to how much an animal can lift relative to its own weight. Let's see the world's strongest animals in terms of different standards :
Until recently (2007), it was thought that the Rhinoceros beetle was the world's strongest animal by this standard, capable of lifting 850 times its own weight. This is comparable to a 68 kg human lifting a 67 ton . Some of the largest Rhinoceros beetles weigh 120 grams, making them capable of carrying about 100 kg (220 lb). This means that a strong Rhinoceros beetle would be capable of carrying a heavy man.
But in 2007, Michael Heethoff and Lars Koerner measured the strength of a tropical mite, Archegozetes longisetosus, finding it has a pull force equal to 1150 times its own weight, five times more than expected for an organism of its size (1 mm, 100 µg). There are probably many other mites who might compete for the title of strongest animal. To put this strength in human terms, this would be like a 68 kg human lifting an 86 ton , or an elephant with a tower of 1150 elephants on its back.
The strongest animal on land in terms of absolute strength is likely the African Bush Elephant, whose weight can range up to 13 tons, and whose carrying capacity is at least 5 tons. Despite this, African Bush Elephants are afraid of some tiny insects, like honey bees. When scared or upset, an African Bush Elephant can run at 40 km/h (25 mph), which gives you an idea of its strength.
The strongest animal in general is the Blue Whale, weighing above 209 tons, with a length of 30 m (100 ft). It can travel up to 50 km/h (30 mph) in short bursts. The kinetic energy of a whale at such a speed probably outclasses any other animal by an order of magnitude.
Historically, some of the largest dinosaurs (like Brachiosaurus or Supersaurus) were stronger than any living animal.

I know you can't make anyone like you or love you but what I want to make sure is I don't slip up making any common mistakes most men make in the early stages of getting to know someone and dating. Girls and guys if you know any can you give me tips on what not to do (what turns her off) and things I can do that she will like and appreciate? Thanks.
