My sympathy, Healer, for your great loss. Please take care..............Tex this is really quite lovely, but I feel a disturbance there, for some reason. Maybe because everything is so 'close'.

Lori Wheelright offers counseling in Perham area
"It started when I was 5," says Lori Wheelright. "I was helping my friends on the first day of kindergarten and two of them were crying."
From that early moment on, Wheelright knew she wanted to dedicate her life to helping those around her. Once in college, she majored in Psychology, going on to earn her masters degree in Counseling from Minnesota State University Moorhead.
After working as an in-home counselor in Becker County for eight years, Wheelright saw an opportunity to start an independent counseling service, Solutions Counseling, LLC in the Perham area.
The surrounding lakes, good schools, and friendly community attracted Wheelright, her husband Kevin, and their three children to move to the rural Perham area.
As a licensed professional counselor in both the state of Minnesota and North Dakota, Wheelright offers clinical therapy services for individuals, couples, and families. She specializes in situations involving relationships, abuse issues, mood disorders, depression, stress, anxiety, anger management, divorce and/or separation reconciliation, and divorce resolution.
"I think that I'm one of the only [independent clinical therapists] here," Wheelright said of her relocation to the Perham area. "I've had people come all the way from Hawley and Wadena to see me."
Wheelright first started working in Perham a year ago, meeting with people of all ages. She is involved with groups and counseling at Someplace Safe in Perham, a non-profit outreach dedicated to serving victims of domestic violence.
A member of the American Counseling Association, Wheelright's personal mission statement is to "help to meet the mental health needs of individuals and families in a safe and confidential manner."
One of Wheelright's specialties is counseling couples. She explains her approach to helping a couple overcome an issue: "I try to figure out what the issue is, what the solution is, and then I help people to develop solutions to the problem as quickly as possible."
To schedule an appointment, contact Lori Wheelright, MS, LPC toll free at 877-653-8030. A sliding fee scale is available, as are evening appointments. Parenting and couples groups will be offered as the need for them arises.
"Helping people is very rewarding for me," Wheelright says. "I enjoy my job every day."

Frazier prepared to fill multiple needs
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Todd Frazier knows he has to make himself valuable to cement a spot on the Reds' 25-man roster, and to that end he was out there during workouts on Tuesday taking grounders at first base and third base and flies in left field. Last year, he was called up from Triple-A Louisville on July 22 and played in 41 games, 27 at third base in place of the injured Scott Rolen. Rolen is now back from left shoulder surgery, and as a seven-time All-Star will play a lot of third base, if healthy. Former National League MVP Joey Votto is the incumbent at first base. Frazier wants to stay in the big leagues and will do what he has to. You have to pull for a New Jersey kid who uses Frank Sinatra as his walk-up-to-the-plate music at Great American Ball Park. "It's kind of funny to talk about because I don't have one position," Frazier said. "It's like a poem. I just keep going and going." But seriously now, what has Reds manager Dusty Baker told him? "To be ready for anything," said Frazier, who hit .232 with six homers and 15 RBIs after his Major League debut. "To be ready for those corner spots, no matter which one it happens to be. I'm coming in ready and need to have a good start to the spring. You have to be realistic with what you try to do during the spring. You can't go in here thinking, 'There are other people at my spot. I'm not going to make the team.' If you do what you've got to do they'll find a spot for you."
Zavada seeks new life at Reds camp
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Clay Zavada, the relief pitcher with the handlebar mustache, is hoping this time will be the charm.He's already had two setbacks in Major League Baseball: The first was when his father died, derailing the start of his career. The second was Tommy John surgery on his left elbow two years ago when he was just settling down in the D-backs organization. Now he's starting over with the Reds, on a Minor League contract with an invitation to big league camp. "It's good to be on somebody's radar," he said on Tuesday. Zavada is certainly on Dusty Baker's radar. The veteran manager said he sat Zavada down for a long conversation on Monday, just to get a handle on his life and perspective. He found that Zavada is a farm boy from Illinois with an infectious and upbeat personality. "He went through some tough times," Baker said. "I had a good, long talk with him about stuff he went through family-wise, loss of his dad and hurting his arm. He's back throwing the ball good." Zavada called 2011 "a wash," pitching for Arizona's Double-A Mobile club. He tossed 60 1/3 innings, but the D-backs didn't want him back. They didn't even ask. His big league experience is 49 games, all with the D-backs during the 2009 season. He was 3-3 with a 3.35 ERA in 51 innings. In '10, he was demoted to Triple-A, where he hurt his elbow. Now all he's hoping for is another chance. He liked what he heard from Baker. "We talked about personal things," Zavada said. "My life. His life. Things like that. He's a good guy. I grew up as a Cubs fan, so I watched him as a manager there for years. I always liked his fire in the dugout. I was always curious to see how he'd be as a manager. He's everything I thought he was going to be." Baker said it's too early in the spring for Zavada's possible role to be defined, perhaps as a left-handed specialist. "These are questions right now that I don't have answers to," Baker said. "I don't even remember him pitching, although I know he has big league experience. These are things that we're here to see. We have to figure out where to place him."
Madson content with role as closer
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- He's with a new team, in a new city, working out this spring in Arizona rather than Florida. But Ryan Madson is right where he wants to be. He's the closer for the Reds, replacing the departed Francisco Cordero.It's the first time in his eight-year career -- all with the Phillies -- that Madson has gone into the season knowing he's the man at the back of the bullpen. For that reason, he signed a one-year contract as a free agent with a mutual option for 2013 that guarantees him $11 million. "It's a good thing to know," Madson said on Tuesday after practice. "I'm just trying to get back in the groove and continue where I left off last year. I'm just trying to get ready. Not too much to get excited about right now. I just can't wait for the season to start." Madson had long been Philly's setup guy behind closer Brad Lidge, also gone from Philadelphia having signed as a free agent with the Nationals. In 2008, Lidge made good on 48 saves in 48 opportunities through the regular and postseason as the Phillies won the World Series. But right shoulder injuries to Lidge forced the Phillies to shake up their bullpen. They opened this past season with Jose Contreras as the closer, and when he was injured, the job fell to Madson, who worked through a bruised right hand and a stint on the disabled list to save 32 games in 34 chances. He finished the season with 17 consecutive scoreless appearances. This past offseason, the Phillies negotiated to re-sign Madson, but opted instead for Jonathan Papelbon, formerly of the Red Sox. The Reds then opted for Madson over Cordero, now with the Blue Jays. "We just have to start winning," said Madson, who now owns 52 saves in his career. "The real fun will come after that."

Picture: Julio Iglesias - Julio Iglesias performing live in concert at the Royal Albert Hall - Tuesday 13th May 2014
Spanish singer Julio Iglesias cancelled a concert in Russia on Wednesday night (25Jun08), after reportedly experiencing heart problems onstage.
The 64-year-old star was performing in Yekaterinburg, when he addressed the audience after completing just two songs.
He said, "I don't feel good, I don't look good and I'm having some problems with my voice. This is the first time I have to stop my own concert. I will try to perform for you tomorrow. I love you very much."
According to Russian website Ural Business Consulting, fans in the first few rows have reported noticing Iglesias seemed ill when he first took the stage at 7pm.
Tickets to the show cost concert-goers between $80 (GBP40) and $600 (GBP300).
Concert coordinators have suggested fans return their tickets, though many have vowed to hold on to their stubs until Iglesias makes his promised return to the stage.
He is rumoured to be scheduling his reprisal as early as Friday (27Jun08).
Iglesias welcomed his fifth child with wife Miranda Rijnsburger just two weeks prior to the European leg of his 2007 tour on 5 May (08).

Collectively, they represent, in their lives and their songs, a great swath of American girls who came of age in the late 1960s. Their stories trace the arc of the now-mythic generation known as "the 60s" - the female version - but in a bracingly specific and deeply recalled way, far from cliché.
The history of the women of that generation had never been written - until now - and it is told through the resonant lives and emblematic songs of Mitchell, Simon, and King.
Filled with the voices of dozens of these women's intimates, this alternating biography reads like a novel - except it's all true, and the heroines are famous and beloved. Sheila Weller captures the character of each woman and gives a balanced portrayal, enriched by a wealth of new information.
Girls Like Us is an epic treatment of midcentury women who dared to break tradition and become what none had been before them: confessors in song, rock superstars, and adventurers of heart and soul.

"An exhilarating look at three of the most creative talents of their era....Wonderfully detailed." (The Boston Globe)
"Good, but..."
I've just finished listening - and came away with generally a good feeling about this book, even if - TMI - the exhaustive research could have been edited a bit. BUT - it was the narrator (Ms Ericksen) who annoyed me -with her numerous mispronunciations of names (oh well, if that sort of thing annoys you... then READ the book, I suppose). I loved the details about the early, formative years of these three women and the people who came into and out of their lives, shaping their creative talents from a very early age.
"But, do they have innies or outies?"
Yes, this book contains every detail of the lives of these three women except that one... Unlike several other reviewers, I like lots of detail and often choose books for their length. (I wish I had counted every occurrence of the phrase "in an interview before his death in xxxx..." That sure made me feel mortal, since I'm only a decade younger than the subjects.)
I chose the book because I liked Carole King and Joni Mitchell both pretty well, although I wasn't that familiar with the work of Carly Simon. In the end, I liked them all a lot LESS as people, but had greater respect for their work. It almost became laughable that there was so much swapping and hopping going on, but in an era of great sexual freedom, it's not difficult to believe. And, hey, who knew James Taylor got around so much, and that Crosby, Still and Nash were so interchangeable in the boudoir?
The narrator has a pleasant enough voice, but I agree that the mispronunciations were irritating! Why don't producers of audio books do a better job of preparing readers so they don't do this?! Mispronouncing words is bad enough, but mispronouncing names is egregious! And her recitation of lyrics was awful - especially when it was a drawn out word, like in "Anticipation". Wouldn't it have been lovely if the reader had SUNG the few lyrics in the book?
"social history lite (and middle class)"
I had waited eagerly to listen to this and was VERY disappointed. It seemed as though sections from three distinct documents had gotten mixed in together: an earnest masters thesis on the reciprocal effects of 60s-70s pop music and social change, a pop analysis of the lyrics of the three artisits, and pages of back issues of People magazine. I'd give the social history pages four stars and the chatty People-esque
sections none, especially the "sez a intimate friend/ elementary school classmate" parts.
Perhaps the text version did a better job of showing what was primary versus secondary and tertiary reserach, but as a listen, the gossip was mostly indistinguishable from new research conducted for the book. I think if you like any of these artists enough to know this much detail about their love affairs, then you would have already gleamed the info from Rolling Stone yourself by now.
The narrator was good, but as noted, prone to mispronunciations, and why oh why did the producer decide that she would deliver the lyrics in a stilted through gritted teeth pace rather than just READ them to us.
I think the similarly themed "Laurel Canyon" did a better overall job. By the end, I started disliking all three woman as people, but gained new respect for King and Mitchel as artists. As Kris Kristofferson suppposedly said to Simon while having an affair: "Buck up. Toughen up!" and lose the self-absorption, ladies.
"Can't do it"
I'm sorry, I love these 3 ladies, but I just cannot finish this book. The detail after detail after detail is beyond boring. It's kinda like attending a wedding where you only peripherally know the bride, and the aunt sitting next to you is giving you a blow-by-blow biography of each and every one of her 84 grandchildren. Maybe an abridged version would be better?
"Very disappointed"
I was looking forward to the "back story" of a period I lived through and artists I admire. The narrator was so annoying - couldn't even pronouce correctly some of the names and word she was saying. On top of which her lame attempts to emphasize the lyrics to the songs was so bad that I couldn't even finish listening. A real shame.
"Interesting picture of an era"
Great research to tell the stories of these three women--and of the great changes that they were part of as their generation came of age. A wonderful book for the information about their lives, music, and milieu, less great for the actual writing, which was often unclear and clunky.
The narration, while lively and listenable, contained lots of egregious pronunciation errors that distracted from the text. The attempt to rhythmically but tunelessly speak song lyrics was also painful. I'd prefer to hear either a "straight" reading--i.e., as if the verses were poetry--or a reasonable singer replicating the tune a little bit.
"Boring as can be"
Nothing to do with the narrator, this book is one of the most boring, unorganized, tangential, dull books on this very interesting subject. I could not get through reading the book, so I downloaded it.
SKIP IT. There are many other books more interesting and better written than this book.
"Not sure about the accuracy. Very bad narration."
I'm not sure about the accuracy of Weller's information. Just prior to this book, I read Carly Simon's memoir, "Boys In The Trees." Ms. Weller's account of many events is very different from Ms. Simon's. I suppose that's to be expected. In any event, she does way too much psychoanalyzing of the three women and their songs, as if she is an expert psychoanalyst and an expert music critic as well. She comes to conclusions without enough information, nor does it seem she actually met any of these women. It was interesting see the trajectory of their careers juxtaposed against each other, and to see how their paths crossed.
Susan Ericksen should stick to reading JD Robb's "In Death" series. She does an incredible job with those books. In this book, however, she seriously mispronounced names of very famous people and her inflections were melodramatic and annoying.
"Took me back"
Very high. It was fun to learn more about singers I have listened to for most of my life
no. The only thing about her reading that was challenging was when she quoted lines from a song. If I were reading it instead of listening, I would have heard the song in my head. Other than that I liked her performance.
I have been listening to Carly Simon constantly since I listened to this book. I loved Carly and Carole King though I didn't know Joni's work as well.
"The story behind the soundtrack of our lives"
This book takes you behind the scene and into the real life stories of Joni, Carole & Carly.Their lives take us on their journey to make the music, which has become the soundtracks of our lives. The book reveals their stories of life, love and fame. It is also a historical look back on the times we grew up in. How the songs got written and more important, who the songs were about. I loved and learned a lot from this book.I have recommended to many girls like me.
Not sure. It's very unique
The book is well read. She took on each character. It was very enjoyable to listen to her read.
No, I savored it, and I was sad when I finished it.
A must read for any musical loving Boomer.

Whistleblowers Gregory Hicks, a foreign service officer and former deputy chief of mission in Libya; and Eric Nordstrom, a diplomatic security officer and former State Department regional security officer in Libya; appeared before a hearing of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Wednesday to discuss the Benghazi attacks on a U.S. consulate last September.
Hicks became the top-ranking diplomat in Libya after the death of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, and told the House committee Wednesday how he learned of the events on September 11, 2012. TheBlaze reports:
When it began, he received a call from Stevens in Benghazi telling him, "Greg, we're under attack."
Stevens subsequently went missing, and Hicks described how he tried to get help to evacuate his colleagues. Hicks estimated there were as many as 60 attackers in the compound at one time.
Hicks spoke with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton around 2 a.m. local time to give her an update. At 3 a.m., he received a call from the Libyan prime minister informing him that Stevens was dead.
"I think it's the saddest phone call I've ever received in my life," he said.
During the hearing South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy read aloud a previously unreleased email sent by a State Department official identifying a terrorist group as the perpetrators of the Benghazi attack.
"Some of these emails, even though they are not been classified, have not been released," Gowdy explained. "Including the one I am about to read from."
"I spoke to the Libyan ambassador and emphasized the importance of Libyan leaders continuing to make strong statements," the email read. "When he said his government expected that former Ghadafi regime elements carried out the attacks, I told him that the group that conducted the attacks, Ansar al-Sharia, is affiliated with Islamic terrorists."
On TheBlaze TV Wednesday Andrew Wilkow was joined by North Carolina Rep. Patrick McHenry and Lt. General Jerry Boykin to discuss their reaction to the hearings on "Wilkow!," and Oklahoma Republican and House Oversight Committee member James Lankford joined the "Real News" panel to examine the whistleblowers' testimony.
Reactions to the hearing on 'Wilkow!:'
And 'Real News:'
Later on during 'Real News' DCI's Stephen Yates joined the program to discuss what legacy the Benghazi attack will have for the administration both in the way Obama will be viewed in times of crisis, and what anti-American and extremist sentiments have been allowed to develop in the region thanks to decisions made by this White House. Have we learned how to improve the security of our diplomats abroad moving forward?

See more ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous game, read this first if you don't know what's going on: Greetings, people of the world, I bring good news! For too long this planet has suffered with consumerism, pollution, global warming, bad hollywood scripts, energy crisis, and growing population leading to shortage of food and space. It's time somebody did something, and since we at OctopuppyCorp believe in proactive responsible action, we've decided to step up. We have taken control of the computer systems of all the world's armed forces, and will now proceed to obliterate the United States of America with a massive nuclear stike. Now don't worry, people of the USA, there is no cause for alarm. In order to assist with your orderly evacuation, we will only destroy one state at a time. I think it best that I don't tell you which states in advance so as not to cause panic locally. The world's nuclear missiles are now controlled by our distributed computer system which I, the CEO of OctopuppyCorp, will command remotely from my secret island base. Don't think that just because you can also transmit commands to the system, this will help you in any way. The system accepts 51 commands, 50 of which are the name of the US state to obliterate. The other command is "ABORT" which shuts down the system completely. Frankly I can't remember why I put that in there, well anyway, it's no use to you because each command has its own unique password. I understand the US govenment is offering a huge reward to whoever can guess the password for "ABORT", but since all passwords are 8 character alphanumeric strings, you have no hope! Also don't bother trying to find the passwords written down anywhere. I know 51 passwords is too much to remember, but writing them down wouldn't suit my hectic lifestyle and paranoid megalomaniac personality. I devised a cunning hashing algorithm, so that each password is derived from the command it authorizes. It's simple enough that I can do it in my head in just a few seconds, without memorizing any big lookup tables. I've probably said too much, since every time I destroy a state you will be able to intercept the command (name of state) and accompanying password. Still, my hashing algorithm is so clever you will never figure it out! The winner of the game will be: ME!!! hahaha But in the unlikely event that somebody guesses the password to "ABORT" it will be the first person to do so. Anyone can join in at any time, but each player can only make one guess for every state that I destroy. You may make suggestions as to which state I should obliterate next, if you think it will help your futile attempts to thwart me. Or if you just don't like the place much. We at OctopuppyCorp pride ourselves on listening to our client base and taking suggestions on board. Thank you for your time. Now, what have I forgotten? Oh yes, the laugh... heh heh, heh heh hahaha, ahaha, MWUHAHAHAHAAA!!!

Sometimes I will get an itch that has to be addresses. My favorite thing is to remove the wafer and I will often scratch the area almost until it bleads just because it feels so good to have it off. It's a different itch than when I need to change because of leakage...that is more of an irritated itch. Is there a possability you are having a reaction to the wafer material? Maybe you may try a different prep wipe or spray.
Good Luck
I was also having the same issues and I am also a newbie. I was having a leak every other day. I went to see my ostomy nurse and my stoma had shrunk to 7/8'' and also the bottom is more flat that the top so they recommended a Hollister convex wafer that pushes my stoma out. It was leaking at about 8 o'clock...they said it was pointing that way. Since mmy new wafer and pre-cutt mini bags I have had no issues. Also I have always used the circular eakin seal and I swear by them. I form it around my stoma and its extra security. Even when I was leaking it was the only thing saving me from constant leaks.
I was also having skin issues where the leak was and stool on my skin when removing appliance. They said this was first sign something was wrong. I can send you some of my eakin seals.....I have plenty from hospital and first month supply. I only use half of my circle and stretch it out....if you do not have any skin barrier poweder or wipes I have extra of these too....I can send them out ASAP.....let me know.
Hello Holly - It seems as tho everyone on here has been giving you lots of recommendations... I use the Eakin Seal and a convex wafer. 7 days wear time, pretty consistently
Hey Lizzie - I just wanted to thank you .... You see, your surgery was April 13th, right? And here you are posting suggestions for a newbie too. That's what this forum is all about - paying it forward!!!! So, seriously, thanks again.
I haven't been able to check the forum out as much as I would like and it so good to see all of the conversation going on here!! This forum is just awesome.

From the first moment, i felt so much love and positivity in this family.

No tuve ningùn problema, es gente maja. Aunque tuve problemas con mi teléfono otra vecina de habitaciòn tuvo la amabilidad de ponerme en contacto con Juliàn y todo tuvo su arreglo. Gracias. Està muy bien situado a pocos pasos del metro y estaba limpio.
Muy cutre casa muy vieja, nos fuimos sin utilizar el apartamento, por la sensación tan desagradable que nos dió. nos creó un gran porblema ya que tuvimos que regresar a nuestra ciudad, más de 300 Km, sin dormir. Un desastre
Julián ha estado muy amable, atento, muy cordial y simpático!!
No fue lo que esperabamos.
No recomendable.
Muy amable y atento. Hace tu estancia una buena experiencia
el apartamento se ajusta al titulo, es pequeño pero excelentemente bien situado y muy bien equipado, con un precio razonable para una ubicación tan céntrica y sus anfitriones muy atentos en todo momento
For the price you get good value. The location is close to several subway stations. I was surprised by the en suite bathroom, which was nice with a toilet and shower.
The kitchen was tiny, with only 2 gas burners and a couple of pots and pans. I missed the (electric) kettle. My room was at the street side, which was a bit noisy. With the gas heater the room was quickly warm.
If you're not planning to cook, I would recommend this place for the price.

This is a race for those of you who want more from running than just a T-shirt. Which is good, because there are no T-shirts at this race. Your entry fee gets you a spot on the starting line, which is a grass airstrip (yes, planes still land here) and a time at the finish, which is an old New Hampshire highway now a grassy boulevard lined by ancient stone walls. Nothing to take home with you that you could put into your bag. If you want a T-shirt, you have to win one: They are awarded only to the top ten finishers.
This is a race for those of you who appreciate a good story, love history and enjoy trivia. Ted Williams, Boston Red Sox hero and cryogenically preserved hitting legend, once owned and lived on this farm. There is a pet cemetery here. You run by it twice during the race. Along with a smattering of family pets, a goat, two horses and two llamas are buried there.
The current owners, Peter and Gail Beckett, are rich with life experience. The reason there can be a race here at all is that Mr. Beckett mowed out a couple of 3K "loops" for his wife to walk and cross country ski on. Who does that? Peter was a military man who jumped out of planes, he was a business man, an athlete. He raised a family. He builds boats in his barn and races in them. He has run 25 marathons (seven Bostons and five New Yorks).
"We bought this farm the moment we set foot on it," he explained. "You have to have a feeling about a house, it has to touch you. If you are going to be sleeping with it, you need to have a relationship with it." (It would be impossible to live here and not fall in love.) The Becketts are in their seventies. This is their retirement.
New England College cross country coach Chris Huff is largely responsible for this particular meet happening on this farm. He was looking for some alternate workout sites for his cross country team. The town of Henniker (the only Henniker on earth, so says the sign) is a rural college town with a lovely river, covered bridges, a ski area, and New England College. The roads are hilly and largely without sidewalks. He was given directions to another farm, but took a wrong turn. A wrong turn can be a death knell in this sport. It turns out this wrong turn was a gift.
"I was looking for a field that had fairly level footing," says Huff. "I wanted a variety of distances. I thought if I could find a suitable field and a helpful owner I could set something up. Then I met the Becketts." Imagine his surprise when the farm he wandered onto had a 3K loop and more than 8K of mowed and rolled trails bordering those beautiful fields. "Because I roll the airstrip, it really wasn't a problem to roll the running paths," stated Beckett. The final product is a moderately hilly, grassy course that makes a figure eight around the farm. It is spectacular.
New Hampshire is beautiful in the late summer, the farm is a historical landmark worth seeing, the Becketts are the kind of people you hope to be lucky enough to meet even once in your lifetime and Chris Huff is the kind of man you hope will someday coach your children. As next summer winds down and you look for an activity for Labor Day weekend, book a room in Henniker and come run this race. While you won't have any trinkets to add to your collection, you will come away from the experience changed for the better by an experience we couldn't really explain.

My '71 started making a new noise the other day. Upon further investigation I see that one of my rear shocks is loose. The nuts and bolts are in place but I can move it side to side. Shouldn't there be a rubbery bit that holds it more securely to the bolt? (Any danger if I keep driving it this way for a few more days, I don't think the shock will fall off?) So if I should just replace the shocks, I should replace the gosh dang blasted cv boots. Ugh! They were all replaced like three years ago, the new ones all fell apart within a year (just bought whatever ones they had at Austin VeeDub). Then two years ago replaced them with Danish made ones they sell at Wolfsburg West and now they are falling apart! And if I put new shocks on they will just be covered with goopy grease in no time. It is easy to buy those already put together cheapy cv axles/joints/boot things and just put them on but people tell me they are junk - use the old cv joints if they are in good enough shape. But heck at the rate of replacing them every couple of years, maybe I should just go ahead and buy a case of them! What grease should I be filling these joints with? Maybe I use the rubber boot eating grease? So what shocks should I get? Should I buy those complete CV axles thingies? Or are they junk? What kind of grease should I use in the CVs? Can I do any care to the outside of the CV boots to help keep them from falling apart so often? Like caress them with Lubridem or Armor All?

I've got bit of a problem here:
In the above code, when strcmp() returns zero and the inner while loop breaks before the Efs reachs it's eof, all seems to work fine. But when the inner loop iterate until the eof is found, in the next iteration of the outer loop, tellg() returns (-1) and the inner whiles efo check returns non-zero. Could anyone please point out how to fix this?Code:....... while(!sfs.eof()) { Efs.open("Elib.txt", ios::in); ....... Efs.seekg(0); cout<<Efs.tellg()<<endl; while(!Efs.eof()) { char* Ewrds = new char[20]; Efs.getline(Ewrds, 20, '\n'); if(!strcmp(wrdsrc, Ewrds)) { found=true; break; } } Efs.close(); if(found) { cout<< "Found"; }else { cout<< "Not Found"; } } ......

Kaiser Health News, January 30, 2014
A study of autoworker claims found that hospitals with the highest prices tended to have the strongest reputations and tight holds on their local markets yet showed little evidence of providing better quality care. The actual prices insurers pay hospitals are closely guarded secrets in health care. That has made it hard for health researchers to study one of the most important issues: whether patients get better treatments from more expensive hospitals. Hospital list prices, which Medicare published last year, provide no indication about how much hospitals actually are compensated by private insurers.

Hypothetical species
This article is incomplete.(August 2012)
Several extinct species have been postulated, but owing to a lack of evidence they can only be regarded as hypothetical extinct species. They have caused confusion, as they may have been a separate species, a subspecies, or an introduced species.[1]
Populations of several parrot species were described mainly in the unscientific writings of early travelers to the Caribbean and Mascarene Islands, and subsequently scientifically described by several naturalists mainly in the twentieth century, with no more evidence than the earlier observations and without specimens, to have their names associated with the extinct species that they were postulating.[1]

Now that I have been here for some time, getting to know the ladies and understanding not only their work lives, but also their personal lives, by going to visit their homes and having casual conversation over tea and biscuits, I have truly experienced how much development has come from Fair Trade. Since I never saw what life was like before, I obviously can't paint a picture for you reader, but what I can say is that I've felt the emotion behind the stories these women so graciously were willing to share with me. I've felt their defeat but was lifted once more by their tales of independence and success. I've bit back tears when they are speaking of life before they had the opportunity of work. I've beamed with them as they proudly display their success and their hope for the future.
The success here isn't like the success back home. When we think of success, we think of having a good office job with a nice house, nice car, latest fashion, and happy family. When the women here think of success, they think of having their kids, especially their girls, finishing school. They think of being able to purchase the kind of food they like and the clothes they think are pretty. They think of eating a balanced meal and a healthy lifestyle. They think of having confidence in knowing they have control over their lives. These women know they are successful when more people start working because they are jealous of the working women's lives improving. Their meaning of success is so much more than money – it's a way of life that wouldn't be possible if not for the work that developed in their community.

SaltWorks Launches Two All-Natural Bath Salt Lines Featuring Therapeutic Salt from the Dead Sea
Bokek Fresh Scents and Mineral Essence are the first scented bath salt offerings from SaltWorks, a company that has supplied sea salts to the bath salt industry since 2002
Dec 16, 2009, 15:42 ET from SaltWorks Inc.
SEATTLE, Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- For ages, people from around the world have visited Israel's Dead Sea for its therapeutic properties. Its soothing waters have a reputation that dates back over 2000 years, and legend even cites its involvement with miracles. Now, with the introduction of two bath salt lines from SaltWorks (http://www.seasalt.com), bathers can enjoy the legendary benefits of Dead Sea salt in their own homes.
SaltWorks' new bath salt lines contain all-natural Dead Sea salt and essential oils -- but no artificial colors or additives of any kind. The two luxurious lines are:
- Bokek Fresh Scents(TM), which are economically packaged in re-sealable pouches and available in simple single scents: Citrus, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Spearmint, Tropical and White Gardenia. Bokek salt, the base salt for both lines, contains 10 times more minerals than ordinary sea salt. They are exceptionally dry and absorb essential oils with ease, enabling the oils to disperse into the bath as the salt dissolves.
- Mineral Essence(TM), which features sophisticated scent blends in unbreakable designer jars. Bathers may indulge in Grapefruit Eucalyptus, Lavender Vanilla, Neroli Bergamot, Spearmint Rosemary, Tangerine Sage or White Tea Ginger.
"SaltWorks has made private-label bath salts for some of the best-known cosmetic companies in the world, but Bokek Fresh Scents and Mineral Essence are the first scented bath salts that we have sold under our own brand," said SaltWorks CEO Mark Zoske. "We have access to the finest salts in the world and were able to choose from over a hundred different sea salts to create our new lines. We settled on Dead Sea salt because of its very high mineral content. We believe these are the best bath salts ever made."
Sea salt is increasingly becoming the choice of discriminating consumers for both the table and the bath. In the bath, sea salt can stimulate circulation, ease muscle cramps, help relieve stiff joints, alleviate arthritis or back pain and soothe aches. It also helps cleanse and detoxify the largest organ in the body -- the skin.
Bokek Fresh Scents and Mineral Essence will soon be available in select stores worldwide.
About SaltWorks Inc.
SaltWorks is America's sea salt company, founded in 2002 and offering the largest selection and finest brands in the world, including Artisan Salt Company, Fusion, Le Tresor and Pure Ocean. No other company offers as many types, packaging configurations, or grain sizes. The company stocks four million pounds of sea salt in more than 100 different varieties in its Woodinville, WA warehouse, and most orders are ready to ship within 24 hours. All of SaltWorks' natural sea salts are Kosher certified and guaranteed for purity and quality. SaltWorks prides itself on its approach to the sea salt business, focusing on traditional harvesting methods, sustainability, natural processes and quality. SaltWorks strives to ensure that all logistics, regulatory compliance, and documentation are handled as smoothly and easily as possible for customers.

Saudis will miss Crown Prince Sultan whose death leaves a void
Crown Prince Sultan was 'the humanitarian Prince', known internationally for his philanthropic activities.Who will step into such generous shoes as successor to the throne?
Saudis described Crown Prince Sultan as a source of strength and a statesman and described his death as a big loss for the Kingdom. Talking to Arab News, they said it has created a big void.
Well-known political analyst and columnist Hussein Shobokshi said he was saddened by the death of Prince Sultan. "Saudis were aware that his health was failing. He was looking frail in his last years ... so the death has not come as a shock but it has saddened us," he said. "He was a statesman."
According to Shobokshi, the Saudis are now looking in anticipation at the next step. "This is the first time that a crown prince has departed before a king. This is a unique situation. Also, we have a structure (of succession). In times past the king was the sole authority to name his crown prince. Now there is a body called the Allegiance Council which will recommend the new crown prince."
Khalid A. Al-Abdulkarim, CEO of the Alkhobar-based Al-Abdulkarim Holding, described his death as a big loss for Saudi Arabia and especially for people of the Eastern Province.
"He was always at hand whenever we needed him. He had close contact with this area for a long time. He knew our parents and always paid special attention to the needs of the local population."
According to Al-Abdulkarim, Prince Sultan nurtured this region with his frequent contacts and visits. "His passing away is sad news."
Khaled Almaeena, editor at large at Arab News, said Crown Prince Sultan's death has left a deep void in the heart of many people. "He was a kind and generous man, and cared deeply for the underprivileged," he said.
"His presence was always a source of strength for the Kingdom."
Educationist Abdul Aziz M. Al-Jezairy said Crown Prince Sultan was among the architects of modern Saudi Arabia.
"He played a significant role is making Saudi Arabia a strong nation. Together with his brothers he helped this nation achieve glory and confidence in the last four decades," said Al-Jezairy. "He was a pillar of strength."
Suleiman Fahd Al-Shammari, a commercial pilot, said Crown Prince Sultan would be remembered for his unparalleled contribution in fortifying the country's borders.
"As defense minister he saw to it that the Kingdom dealt with external challenges with an iron hand. He played a key role during many battles and helped Saudi Arabia emerge victorious," said Al-Shammari. "He was a master strategist."

Revelers just never know who they'll run into on Halloween in West Hollywood, where a stretch of Santa Monica Boulevard is turned into the world's largest late-October festival.
Some half a million Halloween partiers converged on the city Wednesday night. And everyone got in on the action – including West Hollywood City Councilman John Duran, who recounted the festival's origins.
"We had a bunch of drunk drag queens on Santa Monica Boulevard that kept spilling out into the highway, almost getting hit by MTA buses and so we decided about 20 years ago, let's just shut the street down," said Duran, who was dressed as a Roman gladiator.
Costumes were, as always, creative and in an election year, many people dressed up as debate-inspired memes, including "binders full of women."
And even though West Hollywood is known for its left-leaning politics, revelers from both sides of the aisle came out for the celebration.
From scary sightings to celebrity sightings, singer Rhianna was crowned the queen of the West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval.
Nearly the entire city shuts down for the annual event, which makes the celebration a boon for bars like Fiesta Cantina. Halloween in WeHo is easily the biggest night for most restaurants in the city.
"We've been working on Halloween forever," said manager Marcos Gomez. "I mean, most people who live and work in West Hollywood learn to mentally prepare, at least sometime around the end of summer."

Good Points
This is a good gun for the money. I am normally a Remington man, but when I bought my Mossberg 835, only Browning and Mossberg were making guns with 3.5 inch chambers. The Mossberg was half the price of the Browning. I hunt salt marsh for waterfowl and didn't want to be constantly worried about my gun, so I went with the Mossberg.
Bad Points
The action isn't as smooth as a more expensive gun, but you shouldn't expect it to be. Kept well lubed, it is entirely adequate.
General Comments
My gun has given me a lot of reliable service and was not expensive. Because it was so inexpensive, my day isn't ruined if the gun takes a dunk in the salt marsh. I hose it off, blow it out, drench it with WD-40, put it back together and I am ready to take it out the next time.
With the variety of shotguns availible today in the 3.5 inch chamber, I am not sure I would pick the Mossberg again. But I can't say I have been disappointed with the performance it has given me. This is a good gun for the money.

Bestselling author and journalist Andrew Blum will deliver the keynote address at HostingCon Global 2016 New Orleans, Penton has announced. Blum's book Tubes, A Journey to the Center of the Internet, was widely praised by prominent publications including the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and Scientific American when it was released in 2012, even before it became the handbook for many journalists attempting to understand the revelations of the Edward Snowden NSA leaks.
"Andrew helps to untangle the spider web of how the Internet connects," said Robert DeVita, Chief Sales Officer for fifteenfortyseven Critical Systems Realty and HostingCon Advisory Board member. "His content is a must see for anyone in the hosting, cloud and data center space."
Blum will give the address just before the Open Networking Reception in Exhibition Hall at the close of the first full day on Monday, July 25. In it he will discuss the Internet's infrastructure and cloud computing in terms of its geography and physical architecture.
"Hosting and cloud providers have become the linchpin of the Internet as we use it everyday," said Andrew Blum. "I'm eager to address this group about the history, context and stakes of the Internet's 'tubes,' which are so crucial to the services the attendees and exhibitors provide."
The New York Times praised Blum for his "knack for bundling packets of data into memorable observations" in "Tubes." His experience includes contributing to tech and science publications like Wired, Gizmodo and Popular Science, as well as Business Week and other business publications, and delivering addresses to TED Global and the London School of Economics.
This background gives Blum a unique perspective with which to tie the specific business concerns of players in the hosting and cloud service ecosystem, and the many educational topics of HostingCon Global, all together into a big picture view of the ecosystem.
More details and further announcements are available at the HostingCon Global website. Early Bird registration saves $100, and a few speaking opportunities and exhibitor booths remain, so act now to be a part of the industry's leading conference and trade show.

Springmaid promotion moves on
July 29, 2002,
Springs Industries has launched a major brand-building effort for one of the oldest names in its brand stable; Springmaid.
The ad campaign, according to Springs, includes a series designed to highlight the ease in which Springmaid products enhance the beauty, comfort and elegance of the home.
The Springmaid Dream Machine is a 48-foot traveling decorating center, which is fully furnished and interactive. Inside the trailer is a full-size and fully furnished bedroom and bath featuring the full breadth of Springmaid's product offerings including bed ensembles, bath accessories, such as shower curtains and bath rugs, and various window treatments. Also traveling as part of the menagerie are design consultants offering advice and decorating resource materials. Consumers can also access an interactive kiosk and sort through multiple decorating styles.
Springmaid's Kate bedding collection, a bed-in-a-bag set of sheets and pillowcases, comforter, shams and bedskirt with a motif of red and yellow lilac flowers on a yellow lattice background, completes the bedroom, while the Palm Breeze collection decorates the bath.
As the result of a new hydraulic and portable flooring system, the sides of the trailer open up to create a portable showroom, complete with white picket fence and patio, which consumers can walk through and visit.
Also inside is a digital photo booth called "Picture Yourself in Springmaid," which will allow visitors to have their picture taken and to select their favorite Springmaid bedding style. They can subsequently log on to Springmaid's website, springmaid.com, and view a digitally altered image of themselves inside a room decorated in that style.
The Dream Machine hit the road last week, and is traveling through eight states and spending a day at approximately 85 Wal-Mart stores, beginning with Philadelphia, over the course of six months. Various cities and towns in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia will all be visited by the Dream Machine as well. As a result of large built-in windows on both sides of the trailer, consumers can look inside at the various products as the Dream Machine travels. Onlookers who see the truck may also log on to the website and register to win a Springmaid bedding ensemble.
"We want consumers to look to Wal-Mart as a source for all their home decorating needs," said Lois Mikita, senior vp and gmm for Wal-Mart. "Together, our new accent on fashion and coordinated assortments and the Springmaid Dream Machine add more exciting at-store resources for people looking for design tips."

Genetic Algorithm for Multiprocessor Task Scheduling
MultiProcessor Task Scheduling (MPTS) is an important and computationally difficult problem. Multiprocessors have emerged as a powerful computing means for running real-time applications especially due to limitation of uni-processor system for not having sufficient enough capability to execute all the tasks. This paper describes multiprocessor task scheduling in the form of permutation flow shop scheduling, which has an objective function for minimizing the make span. Here, the authors will conclude how the performance of genetic algorithms (value of the make span of the schedule) varies with the variation of Genetic Algorithm (GA) control parameters (population size, crossover probability and mutation probability).

(CBS News) For our fourth round of Super Bowl ads to get you psyched before Sunday (previous posts can be seen by clicking here, here and here) we're going to up the ante and your enjoyment level with three commercials this time. Last week we saw a teaser from Taco Bell in the form of a grandpa going wild. Now we have the full ad above for you above, and it's not just one senior citizen acting wild and crazy anymore. He brought some friends along this time. Take a look.
And if you're a parent, you've probably experienced or are dreading the day when you have to tell your children about the "birds and the bees". But I've got some good news: if you need to explain where babies come from, this next item from Kia Motors will serve as a valuable resource. Because they come from space. Obviously. Wait, are you saying you don't know about "space babies"...?
And last, but not least (though, I'm not actually ranking), we hit on another fear every parent has: bullies! Ooh, just writing the word gets my blood boiling. I can't stand bullies! Well, this last item from Hyundai gives us a chance to vicariously turn the tables on these despicable tyrants (with a little help from Mom, of course). Get psyched for Super Bowl Sunday, everyone!

Well, it goes without saying that split ends make your hair look awful.
Various factors like excessive use of hair-styling products, harsh hair care products, overexposure to harmful sun rays, pollution, etc, can cause the ends of your hair to split and become brittle.
In short, things that damage your hair in general are also responsible for causing split ends.
And once they appear, then there is no sure-fire fix to get rid of them, other than the most obvious one, which is cutting the ends.
Also Read: Prevent Dry Split Ends With 7 Magical Remedies
But, luckily, there are a few easy ways to prevent split ends from occurring, in the first place.
So, today at Boldsky, we've compiled a list of some of the most useful tips that will help you prevent split ends.
Just a few changes in your hair care regime, lifestyle and eating habit can not only prevent the ends of your hair from splitting, but also improve the overall appearance of your tresses.
Though these tips might strike as generic, following these simple tricks will do your hair more good than you can possibly fathom.
Also Read: Home Remedies For Split Ends And Dry Hair
So read on to know more about these tips and follow them to prevent split ends and flaunt that gorgeous hair.
Tip 1
One of the most useful tips is to go in for a trim at the end of every 6th or 8th week. This is one of the easiest ways of managing split ends. Specially, cutting the ends is highly crucial for the overall maintenance of your tresses to prevent split ends.
Tip 2
The second tip that could greatly solve the problem of split ends is combing your hair before shower and using a wide-tooth comb to do that. Or if you prefer using a brush, then go for a bristled one. It will easily detangle your tresses without causing any damage to them.
Tip 3
This tip will not only prevent split ends, but it will also improve the overall appearance and health of your hair. For this you need to ditch the strong hair care products that are infused with harmful chemicals.
Tip 4
The way we shampoo and condition our hair can play a huge role in the overall appearance and health of the tresses. As per the experts, shampooing the top half and conditioning the bottom half can not only prevent split ends, but also mend other damages.
Tip 5
Excessive usage of hair-styling products like curling iron, straightener, blow dryer, etc, is one of the leading causes of split ends. So, avoid these products to prevent split ends.
Tip 6
Eating right and drinking plenty of water could also help you combat the problem of split ends. Include essential nutrients in your diet that not only keep your body healthy, but also strengthen your tresses from the root. A well-balanced diet can reduce the damage that could otherwise cause split ends.

The perfect intersection of bright fruit and savory earthiness...
The perfect intersection of bright fruit and savory earthiness, Sangiovese is the backbone variety in Tuscany. While it is best known as the chief component of Chianti, it reaches the height of its power and intensity in the complex, long-lived Brunello di Montalcino. Elsewhere throughout Italy, it can make inexpensive wines for daily consumption ranging from inoffensive to deliciously easy. On the French island of Corsica, under the name Nielluccio, it produces excellent bright and refreshing red and rosé wines with a personality of their own. Sangiovese has also enjoyed moderate popularity in California and Washington State over the last few decades.
In the Glass
Sangiovese is a medium-bodied red with savory flavors of tart cherry, plum, tomato, fresh tobacco, anise, thyme, oregano, and dried earth. High-quality, well-aged examples will take on notes of smoke, clay pot, leather, gamey meat, potpourri, and dried fruits. Corsican Nielluccio is distinguished by a subtle perfume of dried flowers.
Perfect Pairings
Sangiovese is the ultimate pizza and pasta red—its high acidity, moderate alcohol, and grainy tannins create an affinity with tomato-based dishes, spicy meats, and anything off the barbecue.
Sommelier Secret
Although it is the star variety of Tuscany, cult-classic "Super-Tuscan" wines may contain no Sangiovese at all! Since the 1970s, local winemakers have been producing big, bold wines (with price tags to match) that are typically monovarietal or a blend of one or more of several international varieties—usually Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, or Syrah—with or without Sangiovese.

The Korg M50 88 Key Synthesizer Keyboard captures all the sonic firepower of the M3, distilled into a performance instrument that is second to none.
Incredible sounds; fat and juicy combis, splits and layers; a plethora of ace effects; dynamic Drum Tracks; enhanced poly-arpeggiators; classic sequencing tools, a solid, confident keybed; up-to-date SD storage; companion editing software and our famous TouchView interactive display, it all adds up to an invigorating and sexy keyboard instrument that could only come from Korg.
Tipping the scales at a mere 46 pounds, the seriously portable 88 key version of the M50 sports Korg's top-of-the-line RH3 Graded Hammer Action, and provides a satisfying performance experience for the piano purist!
A Natural Performer
Made to be played, the M50 is inviting and comfortable. The TouchView screen is intuitive and interactive, allowing the uniquely angled front panel to remain refined and uncluttered. The buttons themselves are rock solid, backlit and rounded for visibility ease-of-use under any playing conditions. In addition to Korg's four-way joystick and multi-function knobs, the M50 offers four Chord Triggers that provide a flexible and fun way to play chords and trigger arp patterns. A ten key numeric keypad allows on-demand instant access to sounds, combis and other parameter/values.
Perfectly Shaped Sounds
M50 is packed with over 600 individual sound programs, each one created by Korg's renowned international voicing team. With a robust 256 MB of sample data, recorded in exacting studio conditions, the acoustic instruments are delivered with authenticity and realism, providing rich, natural articulation; synth sounds can be bombastic and aggressive, lush and enveloping, or pure and delicate. But first and foremost, the M50 remains a keyboard cornerstone for any musician. The remarkable piano offers three layers of stereo switching and an additional resonance layer for faithful and natural reproduction of the piano's entire dynamic range.
In addition to the grand pianos, a myriad of other piano and keyboard mainstays are included, from a mono piano for pumping it out live on stage, to the ever in-demand vintage Korg SG-1 Sampling Grand. The electric pianos are responsive, dynamic and expressive, with all the tine and hammer-slap you can muster. The clavs feature all the classic settings with wide dynamic response, and there are even string and flute sounds taken from the tape-driven keyboards of days gone by. Korg's REMS pickup/amp/cabinet modeling technology provides that finishing touch. All the classics are there at your finger-tips; with spot-on programs that are a blast to play!
Need to quickly tweak a sound to your liking? No problem, Tone Adjust allows simple access to the most important parameters and characteristics of a sound without having to dive deeply into programming. Available in Program, Combi and Sequencer modes, you can get done what you need to with a minimum of fuss and effort.
Mix and Match
In addition to the individual programs, a combination (or combi) allows up to 16 sound programs to be stacked, split, layered and zoned across the keyboard; or set to individual MIDI channels. Nearly 400 of these combis come preloaded offering up tasty blends and splits for live performance. All of the preloaded sounds are completely editable, and there is plenty of room on-board (640 Programs, 512 Combinations) for all the sounds that you edit, modify, or create on your own.
Effect-ive Energy
The generous effect section of the M50 brings your sounds to life. Five insert effects and two master effects can be assigned and routed at will, with a total effect to add that final polish. From spacious and luxurious reverbs to space-warping modulation types, the effects can not only embellish a sound after the fact, they can be part of the sound programming itself, adding unique and defining sonic elements.
Let There Be Drums!
Korg has squeezed in over 1,600 drum and percussion samples that can be laid out into full drumkit programs. Ready and waiting are 32 drumkits, with room for 48 more of your own. But there's more! In addition to drumkits, the drum track feature hosts some 670 drum grooves that you can jam along to, or use to kick-start and inspire your own song ideas. In fact, each program has a matching drum track pre-assigned to get you started. BAM!
Rapid Results Sequencing
Korg wrote the book on workstations, and the M50 delivers every chapter! The on-board sequencer is the core of your music production studio. Over 200,000 notes can be recorded on 16 MIDI tracks and up to 128 songs. Enhanced 480 ppq resolution captures your performance with pinpoint accuracy, whether you play in realtime or step notes in one at a time. A plethora of advanced, yet easy-to-use editing features are available to help you sculpt your song into its final form.
Computer Integration
Your new M50 includes both stand-alone and plug-in sound editing software for more detailed graphic editing on your computer, and connects directly via USB. The plug-in version allows you to edit the M50's sounds from inside any DAW (VST, Audio Units, and RTAS formats), allowing your edits and changes to be part of the song file, and without having to switch applications to tweak a sound. The M50 also uses convenient SD cards for economical and reliable data storage.
The M50 just may be the keyboard you've been waiting for.

Tel Aviv - Interpol To Crack Down On Cyber Crime Says Israel Deals With More Than 1,000 Web Attacks A Minute
Tel Aviv - Interpol said Tuesday it is making the war against cyber crime a main priority this year as online fraud crosses borders and increases in scope.
Khoo Boon Hui, president of the global police network, told a conference of 49 European member states that cyber crime is becoming more transnational. He pointed to a study published in March by the London Metropolitan University that found 80 percent of online crime is connected to cross-border organized gangs.
"Organized crime is now able to recruit members from countries without diplomatic ties to commit crimes overseas operating from temporary safe bases in third countries equipped with the latest technology," he said.
Hui said Malaysian police last month arrested more than 200 cyber criminals from China and Taiwan who operated online scams through two syndicates under the instructions of a common Taiwanese boss.
By using temporary safe bases around the far East, the online scammers netted billions of dollars via soccer and gambling websites along with credit card and bank fraud schemes, he said. He said hackers even penetrated the Interpol website this year.
Hui said cyber crime costs Europe about 750 billion euros, or more than $977 billion, a year. Israel alone deals with more than 1,000 Web attacks a minute, he said.
To help train police worldwide in online law enforcement, Hui said Interpol will open a cyber crime and digital security complex in Singapore in 2014.
This week's conference also addressed other issues including international terrorism, the drug trade, and human trafficking.

Awareness of your own body cues and how to best communicate with your dog keep you thinking on your feet. Some people run their hands in their pockets to be more aware of their shoulders. Other people run "silently," that is, without uttering a word, so as to pay more attention to their body. Often, they are amazed at how well their dog performs by reading just their body language. Patricia McConnell's invaluable book, The Other End of the Leash, gives more insight into how we can better communicate with our dogs, both at home and on the agility field.
Donna Rock of Lacombe, Louisiana, was born without arms, and competes at the highest levels of agility with her Dobermans Annie and Quincy, using her shoulders and verbal commands to guide them. The sport appealed to her because anybody can do it. "I'm handicapped and yet I can still compete," says Rock. "Young, old, fat, thin, abled, disabled—it doesn't matter. It's all about being the best you can be and doing it in a way that works for you and your dog."
Wheelchair competitors also find success at agility classes or trials. Judy Guillot of Arizona was a stabbing victim at age 11, and in recent years, lost the use of her legs. When she saw agility on television, it didn't even occur to her to question whether or not she could participate. "I would not be the person I am today if [the accident] had not happened," says Guillot. "I have learned to adapt. That's how I get that can-do attitude." Now 58 years old, she and husband Dave play agility with five of their six toy fox terriers, stay active with their training club, and enjoy practicing and competing whenever they can.
Training Leads to Insights
While competition is the ultimate goal for many agility newcomers, some participants try the sport for different reasons. Beth Borchardt of Florida hoped agility would bring her fearful mixed-breed, Cheyenne, out of her shell. What she didn't expect was how it would help her own shyness. "I had never shown an animal in anything and I was scared to death at my first show," says Borchardt. "Chey did so well that she helped me get over my nerves. I was very introverted and shy and going to trials has gotten me over a lot of that. I'll talk to strangers at shows and that has carried over to other aspects of my life." Borchardt now participates with a white Shepherd, and has a puppy in training.
Spending extra time training your dog will teach you a lot about her personality as well as strengthen the bond between you. What motivates her most: toys, praise, food or a combination? If it's toys, does she prefer tennis balls, squeaky stuffed animals or fleece tugs? If it's food, does she favor dehydrated liver pieces or bits of string cheese? Is she so eager to please that an enthusiastic "Good dog!" will do? Getting to know your dog, which includes observing her physical structure and how she moves, is essential.
Lynn Sykes of North Carolina and her 14-year-old daughter, Bonnie, both do agility, which has strengthened their mother–daughter bond as well as their relationships with their respective dogs.
"Bonnie's Sheltie is a rescue and very high strung," says Sykes. "She's come a long way … Agility has given my daughter a lot of confidence and taught her to finally trust her dog and to be happy with the effort of the dog. I'm proud she's stuck it out with a difficult first dog that many people had written off. Agility has helped them both. We do other dog [activities] as well, and I'm hoping that dog sports keep her from the drugs and other horrors that waylay kids."
The physical activity certainly promotes a healthier lifestyle. Dr. Heidi Loganbill, a neurologist in private practice in Oregon, was working extremely long hours when she and her husband decided to get a Standard Poodle puppy, Pogo. "I couldn't make myself leave work for myself but I could for my dog," says Loganbill. "We started doing agility and I couldn't stand to have lots of people watch me run my dog when I was fat. I was 5' 2" and weighed 215 pounds." Over the next several years, she lost more than 80 pounds. She and her husband now have two more Standard Poodles, Winnie and 6-monthold Gabriel, who her keep fit.
