The group enthusiastically decided that each monthly meeting in 2013 will be centered on a fun, creative theme and/or color.
Garden City, NY (PRWEB) December 25, 2012
Members and guests of the NAPW Kenosha Racine, WI Local Chapter gathered on December 13th for a professional networking meeting at the Bull and Bear Eatery and Tavern. The group of professional women discussed various themes for future Chapter meetings including a New Year's celebration in January; 'Bringing Sexy Back,' with a Night of Lingerie in February; and much more including fundraises to benefit local organizations.
NAPW Kenosha Racine Local Chapter President Audrey Phillips welcomed members and guests to the December event, which was the Chapter's first official meeting. She spoke about the Chapter's future plans and began a discussion about the focus of Chapter meetings in the coming year.
"The group enthusiastically decided that each monthly meeting in 2013 will be centered on a fun, creative theme and/or color," said the Chapter President. "Some of the themes will be incorporated into fundraisers that will make a positive impact on our community."
Meeting themes are as follows:
January: Happy New Year!" The start of the New Year will be celebrated at this meeting. Each NAPW Kenosha Racine Chapter member and guest will be given a hat and party favor.
February: Valentine's Day. Chapter members and guest will be 'Bringing Sexy Back' as they prepare for Valentine's Day with A Night of Lingerie when the featured guest will be a representative from Ladonna Marie's Quality Intimate Apparel. Each attendee will receive a rose and be entered into a drawing for a Ladonna Marie item valued at $25.
March: St. Patty Shamrock Mixer. The Chapter will celebrate St. Patrick's Day by wearing green. Each attendee will be given a shamrock party favor.
April: Living Health. The meeting's focus will be on healthy lifestyles. The featured guest will be a member of Medical Wellness and Weightloss, Inc. of Racine, WI.
May: Labor Day Theme. Colors worn at this meeting will be all white
June: Welcome Summer. Tropical Island Theme.
July: Fourth of July Theme.
August: End of Summer/Back to School. This Chapter meeting will focus on obtaining school supplies for needy children in the community.
September: Labor Day.

November: Give Thanks. This meeting will focus on the Thanksgiving holiday.
December: Toy Drive. In the spirit of the holidays, the Chapter will host a toy drive for needy children in the community.
Chapter President Audrey next spoke about NAPW, and then expressed the need for Chapter Board Members. DeVon Scott volunteered to be Chapter Secretary and Vice President of Social Media and Carolyn Black volunteered to be Chapter Vice President of Event Planning. A vote was then taken and both women were assigned those roles
"NAPW Kenosha Racine Chapter members and guests then had a discussion about their goals and expectations as NAPW members," said Audrey. "It was both heartwarming and encouraging to listen to everyone's dreams and witness the support of the other members and guests!"
DeVon Scott dreams of completing paralegal studies and hopes to one day become an attorney and open her own law firm. Carolyn Black spoke about her dream of expanding her personal cleaning services to businesses throughout Kenosha and Racine, and the surrounding areas.
Audrey Phillips told the others that she dreams of implementing her copy-written software in every school district operating in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands.
Each member was asked to invite someone to the next Meet and Greet meeting (Happy New Year Mixer), which will also be held at the Bull and Bear Eatery and Tavern on January 17th at 6:30pm.
The Kenosha Racine Local Chapter sends many thanks to Manager Nick and the staff of the Bull and Bear Eatery and Tavern for their hospitality and for taking a group photo of attendees.

Unexplained Infertility
It is not always possible to determine an exact cause, but it is now clear that many cases of female infertility today are simply age-related and explained by nothing more than a reduction in the number and quality of eggs available in the ovaries. It's for this reason - what is known as reduced 'ovarian reserve' - that fertility rates begin to decline after the age of 35 (in both spontaneous and assisted conception).
Today, as more and more women defer their first pregnancy until careers and finances are more settled, we are seeing ever more cases of infertility whose cause is related to the availability of fewer good quality eggs and embryos. And this too is one of the big challenges of fertility treatment today.
Please try our fertility questionnaire to see whether you should seek help.

Dear Friend,
Nothing demonstrates the spectrum of my work and involvement back home in the Third District like the inspirational events and visits during my final week before returning to Congress.
Early in the week we visited the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center at the UC Davis Medical Center. It is one of 41 across the country designated by the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Ralph deVere White, director of the center, is leading an expert and experienced collaborative team of doctors, nurses, and support staff to, as he puts it, "beat cancer."
The broad range of clinical specialties and multiple research tracks mean business when it comes to achieving that goal and you sense it as you tour the facility and understand the passion the staff has for its patients.
Later on in the week my staff and I saw another expression of passion during a visit to Folsom Dam where 24-7 efforts keep the Sacramento Region safe from disastrous flooding episodes and secure from natural or terroristic events so that its mission can be accomplished.
The behind-the-scenes critical work at Folsom Dam is under the radar of most of the millions of people who benefit from the coordinated and constant vigilance and procedural upgrades that we have adopted in the years following 9-11. Though we think of Folsom Dam as one concrete structure, it is actually a network of several dams and dikes that protect us.
From the unpopular but necessary closing of Folsom Dam Road, to the construction of Folsom Lake Crossing and now the Joint Federal Project spillway improvements, we are moving the dam network from a highly vulnerable state to one that is rapidly becoming a model for the rest of the country.
Working with the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and security teams from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, Folsom Dam today is on a guide path of improvement -- but there is still plenty to be done.
When I returned to Congress in 2005, motivated to help our 9-11 recovery and re-examination of security practices, my staff got right to work with our federal partners on these dam upgrades. Though at completion in a few years the improvements will double our flood protection to a 200-year level, that is still less protection than New Orleans had prior to the 2005 Hurricane Katrina event.
We will continue our due diligence and vigilance and seize every opportunity to make improvements. You have my track record and promise that will happen.
Sunday at the California Capital Airshow I got to see Freedom in the form of flight during the 7th Annual demonstration of America's singular and unique contribution to aviation ingenuity. If any aircraft flies anywhere in the world it is because Americans flew first and still fly best.
The Airshow, which had record attendance this year, demonstrates our ability as a nation to set the pace in aviation and engineering. It reminds us that -- not only did we build it -- we can do it again.
Leaving the District to return to Congress I am inspired to represent you and remove any barriers in the way of your work in medical cancer research, flood control and aviation and aerospace. We cannot wait for others, America must lead the way.

Russia Content with Level of Iran Ties
Russia expressed on Friday its satisfaction with the status quo of its relations with Tehran, according to the Kuwaiti official news agency (KUNA), citing a statement by the foreign ministry.
The statement was issued following a meeting the same day by Russia's First Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Avdeyev and Iranian special envoy for Caspian affairs Ali Ahani.
It said that the two parties had agreed to continue joint efforts to preserve the region's security.
Russia has previously declared a summit for leaders of the five countries overlooking the Caspian Sea would be a turning point in efforts to reach a peace settlement.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered to mediate in the dispute between Iran and Azerbaijan over ownership of part of the oil-rich Caspian, said previous reports.
AFP has said that Moscow had been concerned over an incident late July in which an Iranian warship threatened an Azeri oil-research vessel in the oil-rich Caspian Sea.
Russia urged Iran and Azerbaijan to act in a good-neighborly spirit, show wisdom and restraint and immediately start talks to find a solution, Interfax said, adding that Russia had offered to mediate.
The Azeri geological survey vessel Geophysic-3 was approached on July 23 by an Iranian warship in Caspian waters about 150 kilometers (90 miles) south of Azerbaijan's capital, Baku.
Azeri President Heydar Aliyev, meanwhile, was quoted by Reuters as saying that he would not allow a row with Iran over ownership of part of the oil-rich Caspian Sea to undermine relations between the neighbors.
Aliyev told reporters that Azerbaijan would maintain "peaceful relations with our southern neighbor," and that he would go ahead with a planned visit to Iran this month – Albawaba.com

I DISAGREE wholeheartedly with Mrs Thacker's letter in regards to disabled parking.
In fact I do not think there should be any vehicles in the High Street at all.
There are plenty of other car parks with more than enough disabled/blue badge holder parking.
While walking up the High Street, have you ever seen a person trying to park in the spaces that are currently there and, possibly due to their age or disability, not seen the pedestrians and nearly run them over? I have.
You stand there and cringe as they attempt a simple three-point turn in less than 100 moves and still fail and it is oh so annoying when you see someone park up in a disabled bay and, as they get out, you realise their only disability is the inabilty to stop eating cakes!
Make it all a no-vehicle zone, as at the moment there are probably more disabled parking spaces than there are shops.

The Decemberists emerged in the early 00s, and earned much acclaim for their distinctive brand of sophisticated, folk-tinged indie pop. Formed in Portland, Oregon, USA, by singer-songwriter Colin Meloy (5 October 1974, Helena, Montana, USA), the bands original line-up also featured Jenny Conlee (accordion/piano), Nate Query (bass), Ezra Holbrook (drums/vocals), and Chris Funk (b. Valparaiso, Indiana, USA; theremin/pedal steel guitar). Meloy spent some time in a country band Tarkio, and took a degree in Creative Writing, and both projects show through on the rootsy atmospheres and literate, narrative, image-rich lyrics of the Decemberists 2002 debut, Castaways And Cutouts. The albums highly melodic songs simultaneously recalled sea shanties, 60s UK folk, 70s soft rock, and the contemporary alt-folk of acts such as Neutral Milk Hotel
In 2003 the Decemberists signed to heralded indie label Kill Rock Stars, which re-released the...

With this, Nimbus gets the global media rights for all international and domestic cricket owned or controlled by the BCCI to be played in India for a period of four years from March 1, 2006 to March 31, 2010.
BCCI opened the sealed documents on February 17 in Mumbai and and Nimbus emerged as the winner with the highest bid amount $612 million.

Smallville: Post Arrival AU (Clark made it to Jor El in Time)
Resident Evil: Post First movie AU (Much greater time skip between One and Apocalypse and a much different version of a character)
Clark stood outside his farm contemplating well himself. It's the end of the summer and it's been a very unique one at that. At the beginning of the summer Smallville was invaded by Kryptonians. Clark dealt with them and he headed back to Jor El edging out his warning of returning by sundown by mere seconds. They took some time but came to an agreement He would go to Jor El once a week to learn the knowledge he has but Clark would get better acquainted with the people of earth and not just Smallville. Jor El kept his part and Clark… well Clark's been kind of lax on his. Ends up the two people weren't the only thing that followed him here. The brain interactive construct had as well. And although it took Clark and Jor El all summer to find it they were able to place a kryptonian virus on the ship. There was one thing Clark regrets Lana went back to Paris. He thought she loved him but no all of the sudden it was just nerves because he left her alone to make Jor El's deadline. The machine brainwashed him, kept his dad in a coma all summer, and vaporized a teenage girl. It's not exactly something you give the finger to.
Clark looked up with a smile seeing a tiny little car head his way. He knows who this is. Lana might be gone but Chloe has been pulling double duty to keep him occupied. She's looking for that one big scoop that will get her into the Daily Planet.
Chloe got out of the car and hugged him. "So do you want to do me a big favor?"
"That depends am I going to get shot again?" Clark asked sarcastically.
Chloe rolled her eyes and smacked him in the stomach they stopped a nuke and all it cost was a hole in Clark's shirt. She considers it a win. "Oh toughen up man of steel you have ten more blue shirts."
Clark laughed Jor El wants to him to be more adventurous and working with Chloe will definitely teach him that. "What do you want?"
Chloe looked him in the eyes holding a folder. "To go to a place neither of us wants to."
Clark looked over the folder well... he certainly wasn't expecting this. "Belle Reeve…why?"
Chloe flipped the page and started to explain as Clark looked at a picture of a dark haired boy and blond haired girl. "Meet Lisa and Matt Addison they were both sent to get something as part of an activists movement and whatever it was… it was something worth dying for since they both disappeared roughly around the same time six months ago."
Clark read everything. "OK... so how does this come back to Belle Reeve?"
Chloe pointed down and Clark saw nothing so she clarified. "Our little asylum has a new partner I want to investigate and find out about it because its where Lisa worked when she disappeared."
"Or just let me investigate let's not give Ian or other people there another chance to kill you." Clark insisted although he thinks Chloe is playing this one close to the chest.
"You have enemies there too you know." Chloe pointed out.
Chloe shrugged and stopped Clark's forthcoming lecture. "Yeah, yeah I'm not invulnerable. Sorry Clark I didn't realize super whining was one of your abilities."
Clark didn't say a word and marched forward before disappearing out of sight in a blur. Clark runs up to Belle Reeve and takes a look at the administrator's sign. He sees the new logo and doesn't see that big of a deal it's a red and white swirl as he runs his fingers along it and sees at the bottom the Umbrella Corporation. Clark takes a brochure and once again he just sees a pharmacy ad not much more.
Chloe laid back on Clark's bed on the farm hard at work on her lap top going through her emails as a dialogue box comes up from survivor CR. Chloe quickly hits the accept box and reads the message.
'Any luck in Smallville?' SurvivorCR
'Waiting for a source but I don't think we're going to find anything. Are you sure this is important.' SV101601
'Uncertain hard to get anything done when your boss is on the take' SurvivorCR
Chloe smiled and typed back 'Yeah try working for Lionel Luthor.' SV101601
'You're still planning to come out?' SurvivorCR
Chloe thought on it and typed back. 'Yes I'm just trying to get a friend to come with me.' SV101601
'See you in Raccoon' SurvivorCR
Chloe saw all her papers flying and rolled her eyes. "Clark!"
"Sorry" Clark offered weakly. "I took a look at Belle Reeve's new sponsor."
"And" Chloe asked.
Clark looked at her. "You're right they are hiding something. No pharmaceutical company has that much interest in a mental ward and can be that clean at the same time. But I couldn't find anything there except for brochures and cosmetic ads. So where do we start looking?"
Chloe looked at him. "Well the easiest place is where Umbrella's strongest and that would be Raccoon city they own it lock stock and barrel. I'm heading out first thing tomorrow. COme with me you know Jor el wants you to see the world."
Clark nodded that seemed like a good place to start. "Alright we'll go tomorrow. I'll research tonight see what else I can find on this Umbrella corporation before we leave."
Chloe smiled hopefully Clark will have better luck then she did.
Clark looked at the computer carefully going through the details and Umbrella is as clean as Luthorcorp and they all know that's a lie. He leans back and rubs his eyes hearing foot steps he looks up and sees Lois Lane. "Lois welcome back, did you find Lucy?"
Lois nodded and hugged him. "She's with the General and I came back to check on Chloe and your mom out of the blue just offers me my old room back. So what's this I hear about you and Chloe going on an adventure?"
Clark looked at her. "We're going to Raccoon City. Where the most exciting that happened there was a mansion burned to the ground six months ago. Are you coming with us?"
Lois shakes her head. "I just got done my own exciting adventure you two have fun though."
Clark nodded. "Well enjoy my room. Try not to make it a white snake shrine."
Lois playfully punched him on the arm. "Clark Kent actually trying to make his mark on the world. Well I guess miracles can happen."
Clark looked at her playing upset. "Well I've done the impossible before."
Lois chuckled and looked him in the eyes. "Seriously though Smallville can you do me a favor when you get there?"
Clark shrugged not seeing any particular reason to say no. "Sure what can I do for you?"
Lois looked at him and smiled. "OK, I want you to meet and go out on a date with a girl in Raccoon city?"
"How do you know I'm not already dating a girl?" Clark asked.
Lois held up a phone. "Because I've been out of town Smallville. Not out of contact. All summer when you haven't been helping Chloe you've been brooding on the farm moping about your great lost love."
Clark counted to ten one thing he hasn't missed all summer is Lois' bluntness. "You mean the girl that said she loved me and left a week later."
Lois collected herself this was always Clark's problem. "Well that sucks but you've got to move on. I think even a bad date would do you some good at this point Smallville. I think you destroyed your brain. You spent so much time idolizing Lana that… Clark Jr. never got the message other girls are OK."
Clark looked at her with utter confusion maybe he got rusty in speaking to Lois for the past three months. "Even for you that didn't make any sense."
Lois glared at him. "Let me put this in terms you'd understand, Smallville. Think of Lana as an ice cream flavor. Damsel in distress Vanilla perhaps,"
"I like vanilla." Clark replied as he dodged a swing by Lois.
Lois just pointed at him actually kind of glad she missed, hitting Clark is like hitting a rock sometimes. "Exactly. You've spent so much time ingesting it that no other flavor will do for you. You're sticking with what's safe trying to hang on to something that was never there. Try to jump into one of the other thirty one flavors Smallville like wild cherry you might surprise yourself."
Clark got to his feet. "Well I'll take it into consideration… but it is nice to see you back in town Lois."
Lois smiled. "Aw shucks thank you Smallville now go have some fun for a change."
Clark watched Lois go down the steps and the thoughts of his day go through his head well Jor El wanted him to see the world and help people. So he'll be happy that Clark is taking the first steps with Chloe going to Raccoon city.
Clark rested in the car with Chloe as they drove into Raccoon city Clark is pretty sure he'd have a stiff neck if he felt pain. "You know I could have just carried the car Chloe."
Chloe shrugged. "I know but I had to keep up things for appearance sakes."
Chloe pulled up to the motel and greeted the clerk kindly as the twowalked in. "Hello ah reservations for Sullivan and Kent."
Clark looked at her he doesn't understand the point he can very easily sleep on the couch and she knows it. Maybe she's trying to prove she's over that crush on him. "We have separate rooms getting the feeling you're not telling me everything Chloe."
Chloe looked at him as she was given the keys. Clark took 213 and Chloe took 211 Chloe walked into Clark's room and stared at him. "OK hand up and swear this doesn't leave the room."
Clark nodded and put his hand up. "I swear whatever you say doesn't leave the room."
Clark sat down on the chair and listened as Chloe started to explain. "OK I grew up in Metropolis. My best friend there was Lisa Addison."
"The girl who disappeared?" Clark asked for clarification.
Chloe nodded. "She disappeared while she was checking out something on Umbrella something big and I think it got her killed for it."
Clark looked at her. "Chloe how do you know that?"
"Because we kept in touch this whole time. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd think I was being too personal." Chloe replied. "But Lisa was the first friend I ever made and not to try to dampen your ego but Matt was my first kiss thanks to spin the bottle. I'm not expecting a headline but my friends deserve justice they deserve to be heard. I just don't want my mess falling down on you."
Clark didn't say a word and just got to his feet. "Look you just drove from Smallville to Raccoon City why don't you take a rest for a couple hours."
Chloe looked at him she's been around Clark enough to know Clark code. From those looks on his face he's telling her to stay out of it. That usually means he's about do something stupid but crack this thing wide open and he doesn't want her help. "OK let's just get moved in first."
Clark had the two rooms fully unpacked in three minutes once all the boxes were in a new personal best for him. Clark looked to the city all he had to do was look up and see that red and white Logo. Chloe wasn't kidding when she said Umbrella practically owns this city. Clark walked into the electronics store and went over to portable hard drives he has a feeling he's going to need one. He looks around and sees a five terabyte hard drive so hopefully that will be enough.
He goes to pay for it and sees the umbrella logo on the back of the box they do own this city don't they.
The blond cashier flashes him a smile. "Anything else I can help you with handsome."
Clark awkwardly shakes his head no cute girl but... "Umm no I'm fine thank you." Clark just groaned as he left he has to learn how find one girl he can tell his secret to.
Clark explored the city some more until he came into an internet café. He has to find out about Umbrella before spying on them and the easiest is to explore their website a bit.
Chloe woke up and knocked next door seeing that Clark still wasn't home. She wonders just what it is he's up to. She goes to her lap top and sees about Umbrella and just finds more bland history also she sees a pop up from survivorCR.
SurvivorCR: Are you in Raccoon City yet?
SV101601: Just got unpacked and slept off the road trip
SurvivorCR: What do you hope to accomplish here?
SV101601: They're home base is here people usually keep their skeletons in their closet. I checked Umbrella out they've been working on something big over the past couple years. Any idea what?"
SurvivorCR: Umbrella has had their mitts on everything I have couple of ideas I'd rather run through in person.
Chloe sat there thinking about it. It feels like a setup for a lifetime kidnapping move but she already knows him... hopefully... She'll tell Clark to keep an ear out for her. "Fine but tonight at 9 Excella hotel room 211."
Clark walked into the main Umbrella facility and looked around this place could give Luthorcorp a run for its money. Security guard up front but with the exception of the people up front everything is so sterile. He looked over to a pretty girl on the other side of the room with short brunette hair in a black top and jeans a Beretta hidden on her thigh.
The woman looked over and saw a cute guy in patriotic red an blue cute but not why she's here. "Can I help you or are you just going to stare at my legs all day?"
Clark rebooted awake busted. "You have nice… legs."
"Fuck off"
Clark calmly walked to the guard she just made this a lot easier. "Yeah that woman in black over there she has a gun you might want to do something about that."
The guard walked over and Clark took the opportunity to look through the guard monitors seeing the security for the building and located the boss' desk.
The girl turned around and saw the guard coming to her. "Something I can help you with?"
"Spread your legs and put your hands on the wall."
The girl looked at him. "Excuse me"
"Just do it." The guard ordered.
The girls saw the kid that was staring at her doing things he's not supposed to at the terminal it quickly sinks in she's being used as a decoy and pushes the guard back as the kid sneaks through the back door. "And why would I do that."
"We have reason to believe you have a concealed firearm."
The girl looked at him. "OK I'm going for my ID please don't shoot me."
The guard nodded as the girl went through her pockets as Clark disappeared through the back door. Once he was out of sight she gave him her wallet as the guard opened it and instantly felt like an idiot but this was the easiest job he ever had. "Sorry officer Valentine I didn't realize you were a cop."
Jill calmly walked towards the door. She'll grab the kid on the way out. "Hey its fine I'm glad to see you take your job seriously."
Clark moved in a blur and quickly stopped at the top floor before entering the office of a Timothy Cain he looked around and saw the room with a couple chairs and a desk… what kind of head honcho doesn't have a security camera in his room? He's chalking this one up to either arrogance or back room deals he doesn't want to risk the world finding out about. He turns on the computer and sees it just in sleep mode as it comes online. Clark goes through files on the desk to find they're all locked and sees he caught a break here as Cain was transferred in as the new operating director last week after something called Red Queen malfunctioned and killed his predecessor six months ago. He sees a note telling him the new password to the computer and happily puts it in seeing the computer open up as he starts transferring all the files to his hard drive. Clark hears a noise and quickly turned off the monitor and looked up at the old ceiling with wooden boards he hopes this works as he hops to the ceiling and splitting his legs on two boards. Well he can't fly yet but he has hovering down.
Cain came into the room and looked around for something amiss. Clark looked down at the man he was nearly as tall as him with a short blond haircut looking into his eyes Clark can see at the very least he is ex military. Cain looked up and saw nothing. He heard his phone go off and answered it.
"Hello… no… I will not be attending… Reopening the hive… on Thursday morning first thing." Cain walked out of the room shouting into the phone and closed the door leaving a very relieved Clark behind the door. Clark turned on the monitor and saw the backup was completed at four Terabytes of info. Well… Chloe is going to have her hands full for a while. He shuts down the computer and quickly heads for the exit.
Jill waited patiently in her car. She can't believe how badly her life has turned so fast. Six months ago she was one of the best. The second youngest member of the RPD STARS squadron at 23. Then the incident at the mansion happened. Apparently something leaked out from under the mansion and infected the dogs nearby they in turn infected nearby people. STARS sent the BRAVO team to investigate and when they didn't return they sent her team the ALPHA team. The mansion was a bloodbath a grand total of five people made it out alive. She, Chris, Barry, BRAVO's youngest Rebecca and chickenshit Brad because mainly the coward took off at first sight of danger.
Their boss Wesker whom was loyal to Umbrella led ALPHA team while a man named Enrico led BRAVO through the assault of the mansion until Wesker shot him. Little did they know this was nothing but a field test by Umbrella to test out their newest bio weapons on the field with the help of Wesker and Chief Irons. Wesker stood to make a fortune with the data if he had made it out alive. Out of twelve of them only five made it out alive and after going through zombies, dogs, and an early prototype of something called the NEMESIS project and only making it out because of a rocket launcher. They didn't get a heroes welcome instead they got a mud slinging campaign that exiled them all from office thanks to Irons and Umbrella that got them all suspended and any credibility they had destroyed.
Jill watched the young man from earlier that used her as a decoy come out and she calmly hopped out of her car and quickly started to follow him into an alley wondering what he has to gain from this. When she gets to the end of the alley she sees that he's already gone. How did someone shake her so fast so completely?
Chloe heard a knock on her door and quickly grabbed her tazer gun when dealing with a stranger range is better especially considering how early he is. She opens the door on a chain and quickly sees Clark as she closes it to unlock it completely. "Sorry about that just needed to see something."
Clark nodded he's suddenly really not liking what Chloe is up to but she's right victims deserve to be heard. "I went to the Umbrella Facility. Couldn't stay for long though."
Chloe glared at him she would have liked that to be a one man one woman trip. Has Clark never heard of a unisex assault? "Did you find anything useful in your short time there?"
Clark shakes his head in denial. "It wasn't a long stay." He pulled out the hard drive. "All I had time to do was copy all the information Umbrella had onto this hard drive."
Chloe practically ran up and took the hard drive off of him and hugged him. "I love my kryptonian friend."
Clark simply smiled hearing the words from Chloe. He had had to admit part of it stung though. He and Chloe got along great all summer and even when he told her she just quietly accepted and if anything it gave her more respect for him. Well it's probably better this way. Anytime they went for more Chloe just ended up disappointed and hurt cutting him off for a time. But Chloe's his best friend and no power in the 28 galaxies is going to change that.
Chloe hopped over to her computer and plugged in the hard drive and glared at the big dumb alien. "Master password? Clark it's going to take weeks to hack into this."
Clark sat in the chair with a smile. "VERONICA"
Chloe looked at Clark and typed it in no one is stupid enough to use the founders name as a pass… it actually worked. She can't believe Clark flat out stole an entire hard drive though to be fair the way she described Lisa and Matt made it sound like they were her version of well… Pete and herself and when she went missing Clark had no problem snooping around a three star general's desk. She might not feel like she used to but she'll always be grateful for having a friend like Clark Kent. "Clark this is still going to take some time. Why don't you go see what the nightlife is like around here? Maybe you can even find someone that doesn't like Umbrella."
Clark looked at her. "You're expecting someone aren't you?"
"Yes now go away, I'll call if I get in trouble." Chloe replied as she pushed him for the door.
Clark shrugged he can take that to the fortress but he doubts Jor El would help. Besides he has a feeling Chloe can handle it and she should since it's her friend Umbrella messed with besides maybe he can have some fun exploring Raccoon city. What's the worst that can happen in a few days? "See ya later"
"Goodbye Clark"
Chloe sat looking at the files Clark got there's a whole lot more to Umbrella then the pharmaceutical side they let out. Apparently they studied the blood work of the meteor infected during their freshman year of high school and when Belle Reeve faced a heavy lawsuit from Lex for what Lionel had done to his son with electro shock therapy they footed the bill which was why the Umbrella Logo was now outside of it. Chloe heard a knock on the door and got to her feet. She opened the door and saw a man in his early to mid 20s with dark brown hair in a white wife beater and green jeans.
Chloe looked at him with a simple smile knowing who he is despite how long its been. He was Matt's best friend before he was shipped off to the air force.
The man looked at Chloe with wondering eyes seeing her in a light blue work suit and miniskirt. Lisa's friend can really pull it off though he has a hard time seeing this as the once nine year old reporter. Chloe Sullivan had really filled out over the years. "It's been too long Chlo I wouldn't know where to start."
Chloe just hugged him it's been ages. "It's good to see you again officer Redfield."
"I got fired for sticking my nose where it wasn't wanted. It's just Chris now."
Chloe smiled opening the door as Chris walked in hopefully he's found leads that she and Clark missed.

The better view of "Fort Hill" is had to the north of it, about a quarter of a mile, on the road leading from Bergen to Le Roy. From this point of observation it needs little aid of the imagination to conceive that it was erected as a fortification by a large and powerful army, looking for a permanent and almost inaccessible bulwark of defense.

Messi in a league of his own as Barça overcome Granada
Granada took the lead but Barcelona were rescued by a brace from the Argentina star, who scored for the fourteenth game running to reach 301 goals for the the Camp Nou outfit.
It doesn't matter if Granada play out of their skins. It doesn't matter if Barcelona, with a league lead that leaves plenty of room for slip-ups and with minds already wandering to upcoming fixtures, play in a state of semi-stupor. However well Granada played, however badly Barça played, the outcome of the game lay solely in the hands of the Argentine. So, we come to the conclusion that this isn't a boring league. It's Messi's league. If Barcelona beat Granada 2-1 it was down to Messi (and to Victor Valdés, because goalkeeper is the only position Leo cannot cover, and because Valdés is a great keeper).
Yet beyond the victory that - if it is indeed possible - further strengthens Barcelona's firm grip on La Liga as they march serenely towards the title, there are elements that the Catalan outfit will look back on with concern if they entertain real aspirations of higher goals. Yes, Saturday night was just another box to be ticked as they glide to the title, but the fact remains that Barça have now conceded in nine consecutive games. Messi is forced to find an excess of goals up front to cover up the gaps at the back. So far, it has worked in La Liga. But in the Copa del Rey and the Champions League this remains to be seen.
The narrative of Barça's victory is reminiscent of the Real Madrid of the 'galácticos'. That sounds bad, but it comes with the excuse that the visitors' line-up included neither Andrés Iniesta nor Xavi, who together constitute the heartbeat of the 'azulgrana' side's play. But it is inescapable that the game came down to the saves of Valdés and the finishing of Messi, much as Madrid used to base their triumphs on the feats of Iker Casillas and Ronaldo. A one-off, perhaps, but it happened. What came between the keeper and the striker was worrying.
Without Iniesta or Xavi, the game was a crazy one. From the start, Messi took it upon himself to do Iniesta's job. He did so excellently, but came up against one problem: there was nobody to do Messi's job, that of finisher-in-chief. Only David Villa is capable, and he wasn't there. So, it was down to Alexis Sánchez to get the goals, and the results were tragic: the Chilean, the Sisyphus of goal-scoring, dragged the ball to the goal is if it were a rock, only to see it fall back down the hill before he could finish. It was truly desperate.
With Barcelona in such permissive mood, Granada saw their chance to create danger by penetrating down the flank of an ailing Adriano and switching the play to the flank of an absent Dani Alves. That's how Odion Ighalo's goal arrived as the first half ended with defeat on the horizon for Barça. Deserved defeat. But, in the midst of the chaos, Messi appeared to score two, atypical goals: one from a rebound and another direct from a free-kick. Three points more for Barcelona as they smell glory. In La Liga, at least.

PhotoChicagoPhotographer Male Chicago, Illinois, US
Mayhem # 785747
About MeI started photography about 7 years ago. I always was fascinated with taking pictures and photography. Finally, on April 20, 2005 I got my professional camera. Since then I have gained some more equipment but photography has nothing to do with the equipment - its about the photographer's capability and creativity. If you are having fun getting your picture taken, then in the picture it looks like you are having fun! You need to feel the REAL emotion to express it correctly in a photograph. Some people really don't like to get their picture taken but I try to make it an incredible experience! Photographers do not need any kind of training, but I took that extra step of getting trained so that I can give you a better product! I give my best each and every time I take a picture. I try to make the photo sessions relaxed and fun.

Mike If I understand your description correctly, you have all your nodes connected into a FC hub. This hub is then connected to one port of the Brocade FC switch. So all the nodes are on a single public Arbitrated Loop. I assume that all the FC-connected storage is on another port on the Brocade? I can see one potential problem with this setup. If the fencing is done by disabling the port on the Brocade the entire loop will be disconnected from the switch. So instead of fencing one node the entire loop (containing all nodes) will be fenced. (Cut off from the storage) Only way I can see this work is to configure the fencing work with the wwnn/wwpn of the nodes instead of the port on the Brocade. Instead of having a fencing operation block all traffic on a given Brocade port you need to have the Brocade block traffic to a given wwnn/wwpn (the wwnn/wwpn of the FC-HBA of the node to be fenced) I have not played with such a setup for a number of years, so I can't really tell you how this should be done. And of course, if you have the storage connected to the same FC-hub, this won't work at all. In that case the traffic between the storage and the nodes would not be controlled by the Brocade at all... This should at least point out a potential problem :-) Erling On 9/14/06, isplist logicore net <isplist logicore net> wrote:

Walkthrough Edit
After getting the quest, go to Mt. Musphel Entrance and kill 10 Ruby Keratons. Return to Lorando for your reward.
Dialogue Edit
Initial Dialogue Edit
- Lorando
- "Come to train as a hunter, tadpole? An old Asmodian proverb tells us that progress is not a matter of skill, but of dedication.
- True hunters must learn to purge themselves of fear to become dedicated to a cause. As Daeva we have lost much of our fear of death, but some of that fear still remains from our Human heritage.
- Courage is but one notch in the hunter's belt. Now we will discuss judgment, which can lead us to realize our full potential even in the face of danger."
- "What should I do?"
- "A hunter does not fear, tadpole. Know that if you bear that mantle, all traces of fear from your Human heritage have been purged.
- We risk our lives to defeat foul beasts, and through that we can learn to use our best judgment in dangerous situations.
- Slay Ruby Keratons, and you will be one step closer to becoming a true hunter."
Accept Edit
- "Excellent, tadpole. Confidence is one facet of courage.
- Now, hunt 10 Ruby Keratons,. If it is too easy, think of ways to make it more challenging. Don't use a weapon, close your eyes or take on several of the beasts at the same time."
- "I will return."
Decline Edit
- "This will not make you strong, tadpole. If you think yourself a true hunter, you are a fool.
- Once you have given up on such foolishness, return, and I will think about continuing your training."
- "I'll keep that in mind."
Reward Dialogue Edit
- Lorando
- "How went the hunt, tadpole? Did you slay the Ruby Keratons? Have you faced your fears?
- Animals have intense survival instincts, perhaps even greater than those of Humans. Though animals feel fear just like Humans, when their survival is at risk their courage is palpable.
- To fight a cornered beast is to fight a creature without fear."
- "I have purged my fear."
- "Hah! Your fear is still there, tadpole. But with practice, you will move closer to becoming a true hunter.
- Take this, and use it. Your skills continue to improve."
Summary Edit
Lorando said repeated practice is the only way to overcome fear.
You trained by killing Ruby Keratons at the Mt. Musphel Entrance. When you returned, Lorando gave you a reward and said that your skills are improving.

L-Alanine Powder
While Alanine is considered a nonessential acid, meaning that it is produced naturally in the body, L-Alanine supplementation can be very important. This is a pure product that comes in powdered form.
L-Alanine is an amino acid, making it popular to supplement among athletes.
Serving Size & Timing
This supplement should be taken in servings of 2,000mg about 30 minutes prior to a workout.
Nutritional Information
Supplement FactsServing size: 2000 milligrams
Serving per container: *
|Amount Per Serving
|% Daily Value**
|L-Alanine 2000mg
** Based on 2,000 calorie diet
Sugar, soy, dairy, yeast, gluten, corn and additives.
As a dietary supplement, typical usage is 2 grams (1/2 tsp) daily. Individual preferences vary.
|US Standard Measuring Spoons
|Spoon Size(level)
|1/4 teaspoon
|1/2 teaspoon
|1 teaspoon
This supplement contains no fillers of any kind.
As long as suggested serving sizes are adhered to, risk of side effects is low. However, anyone that has been diagnosed with diabetes, hypertension, prostatitis or any other blood-sensitive condition should stay away from this supplement unless specifically directed by a medical professional. If your levels of tyrosine and phenylalanine are low when taking this supplement in high amounts, this may lead to what is known as chronic fatigue syndrome and may make you more susceptible to the Epstein-Barr virus.
Though Alanine alone does not have any side effects, taking an imbalanced amount of any amino acid along with it could cause the chemistry of the liver to upset, making it harder for the body to get rid of toxins. Anyone that has a weak liver or kidneys should talk with a professional before taking this supplement.
This supplement has a sweet flavor and is soluble in water. It can be mixed with water, juice, or a protein shake. It should be stored in an area free from light, heat, and moisture.
Alanine is usually derived from diets that have a standard amount of protein in them. However, if for any reason you happen to have a very low protein diet, it would be best to take an Alanine supplement. Alanine can be found naturally in many different dietary locations including meat, beans, seafood, yeast, brown rice bran, dairy, nuts, corn, gelatin and other whole grains.

Bought this for the ability to convert glucose to energy. It did what it was suppose to do I just think I took it at the wrong time. Energy level was not as intense as I thought but it was sustainable. Mostly taken in the morning, pre-workout and in a smoothie after workout, maybe I overloaded. Still working out the dosages.*

In the various roles he has undertaken through the years, Val J. Halamandaris has been a singular driving force behind the policy and program initiatives resulting in the recognition of home health care as a viable alternative to institutionalization. His dedication to consumer advocacy, which enhances the quality of life and dignity of those receiving home health care, merits VNA HealthCare Group's highest recognition and deepest respect.
- VNA HealthCare Group
I have the highest respect for them, especially for the nurses, aides and therapists, who devote their lives to caring for people with disabilities, the infirm and dying Americans. There are few more noble professions.
- President Barack Obama
Home health care agencies do such a wonderful job in this country helping people to be able to remain at home and allowing them to receive services
- U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Chair, Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee
Home care is a combination of compassion and efficiency. It is less expensive than institutional care...but at the same time it is a more caring, human, intimate experience, and therefore it has a greater human element...it's a big mistake not to try to maximize it and find ways to give people the home care option over either nursing homes, hospitals or other institutions
- Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-GA)
Medicaid covers long-term care, but only for low-income families. And Medicare only pays for care that is connected to a hospital discharge....our health care system must cover these vital services...[and] we should promote home-based care, which most people prefer, instead of the institutional care that we emphasize now.
- Former U.S. Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-CD)
We need incentives to...keep people in home health care settings...It's dramatically less expensive than long term care.
- U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Home care is clearly the wave of the future. It's clearly where patients want to be cared for. I come from an ethnic family and when a member of our family is severely ill, we would never consider taking them to get institutional care. That's true of many families for both cultural and financial reasons. If patients have a choice of where they want to be cared for, where it's done the right way, they choose home.
- Donna Shalala, former Secretary of Health and Human Services
A couple of years ago, I spent a little bit of time with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and its president, Val J. Halamandaris, and I was just blown away. What impressed me so much was that they talked about what they do as opposed to just the strategies of how to deal with Washington or Sacramento or Albany or whatever the case may be. Val is a fanatic about care, and it comes through in every way known to mankind. It comes through in the speakers he invites to their events; it comes through in all the stuff he shares.
- Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence
Val's home care organization brings thousands of caregivers together into a dynamic organization that provides them with valuable resources and tools to be even better in their important work. He helps them build self-esteem, which leads to self-motivation.
- Mike Vance, former Dean of Disney and author of Think Out of the Box
Val is one of the greatest advocates for seniors in America. He goes beyond the call of duty every time.
- Arthur S. Flemming, former Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
Val has brought the problems, the challenges, and the opportunities out in the open for everyone to look at. He is a visionary pointing the direction for us.
- Margaret (Peg) Cushman, Professor of Nursing and former President of the Visiting Nurses Association
Although Val has chosen to stay in the background, he deserves much of the credit for what was accomplished both at the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, where he was closely associated with me and at the House Select Committee on Aging, where he was Congressman Claude Pepper's senior counsel and closest advisor. He put together more hearings on the subject of aging, wrote more reports, drafted more bills, and had more influence on the direction of events than anyone before him or since.
- Frank E. Moss, former U.S. Senator
Val's most important contribution is pulling together all elements of home health care and being able to organize and energize the people involved in the industry.
Anyone working on health care issues in Congress knows the name Val J. Halamandaris.
- Kathleen Gardner Cravedi, former Staff Director of the House Select Committee on Aging
Without your untiring support and active participation, the voices of people advocating meaningful and compassionate health care reform may not have been heard by national leaders.
- Michael Sullivan, Former Executive Director, Indiana Association for Home Care
All of us have been members of many organizations and NAHC is simply the best there is. NAHC aspires to excellence in every respect; its staff has been repeatedly honored as the best in Washington; the organization lives by the highest values and has demonstrated a passionate interest in the well-being of patients and providers.
- Elaine Stephens, Director of Home Care of Steward Home Care/Steward Health Systems and former NAHC C
Home care increasingly is one of the basic building blocks in the developing system of long-term care. On both economic and recuperative bases, home health care will continue to grow as an essential service for individuals, for families and for the community as a whole.
- Former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
NCOA is excited to be part of this great event and honored to have such influential award winners in the field of aging.
- National Council of Aging
Health care at home…is something we need more of, not less of. Let us make a commitment to preventive and long-term care. Let us encourage home care as an alternative to nursing homes and give folks a little help to have their parents there.
- Former President Bill Clinton
The following article originally appeared in Modern Healthcare, and was also recently reprinted in Hospice Notes. As it is relevant to both the home care and hospice community, the article - with links to the GAO report – is reprinted below in its entirety:
Obamacare is allowing many Americans to retire early and claim Social Security benefits at age 62 without shouldering exorbitant healthcare costs until they can get Medicare, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (PDF).
About a million early claimers did not have Medicaid or employer-sponsored health insurance before the coverage provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act kicked in this year. Of those, 14 percent may be newly eligible for Medicaid in the 25 states (and the District of Columbia) that expanded the program under the law. Another 58 percent could be eligible for tax credits toward purchasing coverage through the new insurance exchanges.
But the agency found that 10 percent of these early claimers lived in states that did not expand Medicaid and had incomes that were below the federal poverty level—too low to qualify for exchange subsidies.
Elsewhere, Medicaid promises access to insurance with no premiums and no or nominal cost-sharing, the report notes. Across the 26 states expansion states, the percentage of these early claimers eligible for Medicaid expansion ranges from 17 percent in Delaware and Massachusetts to 60 percent in the District of Columbia.
Experts encourage workers to stay employed until the formal U.S. retirement age of 66 to avoid a reduction in monthly Social Security benefits. But the ability to get healthcare will be crucial for workers who have no choice, according to the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.
"The people helped by this are people who have been forced out a job at age 62 or 63,"said Webster Phillips, a senior legislative representative for the advocacy organization. "Once these people have lost their jobs, it's very difficult for them to find another one."
Many of them, though, may forgo Medicaid because of the stigma the program holds, particularly among older Americans, said Linda Riddell, health policy analyst at Health Economy, a consulting firm that specializes in health data analysis and employee health costs.
And experts generally agree that the new low-cost coverage options are unlikely to result in a flood of people checking out of the workforce early. In February, the Congressional Budget Office observed that the law could have a positive impact on the dynamic known as job lock, in which people stay in jobs only because they need the health benefits.
"Expanded Medicaid eligibility under the ACA will, on balance, reduce incentives to work," the CBO said in the report (PDF). "(However,) that effect has a relatively modest influence on total labor supply."
Hospitals already see upside in states that expanded Medicaid. Hospitals in states that chose to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act saw significantly more Medicaid patients and a related reduction in self-pay and charity-care cases, according to a new national study released by the Colorado Hospital Association. For those states that did not expand, the amount of self-pay and charity-care cases remained steady.
The study used data from 465 hospitals in 30 states from the first quarter of 2014. Data was gathered from Jan. 1 to March 31. The researches estimate a 29 percent increase in Medicaid patient volume and parallel 25 percent and 30 percent drops in self-pay and charity care respectively in expansion states.
"These findings not only affirm that more people are finding healthcare coverage who didn't have it before, but also that it is having a positive impact by reducing the levels of uncompensated care at hospitals, which could further efforts to reduce healthcare costs," Steven Summer, the association's president and CEO, said in a statement.
Faith leaders admonish states resisting Medicaid expansion. The 24 states that have yet to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act are causing a "moral crisis" by leaving millions of low-income Americans uninsured, faith leaders say, according to the Associated Baptist Press.
"History has not been kind to governors who stand in front of schoolhouse doors because the children are not the right kind of children, and history will not be kind to governors who stand in front of hospital doors and clinics because people who are trying to get in are deemed politically dispensable," Rev. Raphael Warnock, senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, said during a conference call with reporters on May 29.
Also participating in the call was Catholic Health Association President and CEO Sister Carol Keehan, a persistent ally of the law. "This is not a simple political agenda like more roads or less roads," Keehan said. "This is people's lives at stake."
