If your son or daughter has signed up to play football this fall, their safety is likely your main concern. You'll want helmets and protective body pads that fit well and provide a layer of safety against accidents. The same can be said for mouthguards to keep your child's teeth from being broken or knocked out. At Embree Dentistry in Ann Arbor, Michigan, your child's dental health is also our concern. Here are a few tips from Dr. Sandra Embree and Dr. Courtney Heys on how to make the best decision when choosing a mouthguard for your child:
Comfort is key
A lot of the young patients seen by your Ann Arbor dentists Dr. Embree and Dr. Heys complain that mouthguards are uncomfortable. This is certainly true for the cheaply-made guards. While they may be inexpensive, pre-made mouthguards are bulky and can restrict breathing and talking. Without a comfortable fit against the teeth, they are also not particularly effective.
"Boil-and-bite" mouth guards offer more protection; they are made from a special plastic that becomes pliable when heated, which allows it to be shaped around the teeth. However, custom-fitted mouthguards are the best defense your child has against mouth injuries. They're durable, comfortable and don't have a chemical taste or smell associated with them. They do tend to cost more, but as your Ann Arbor dentist will tell you, they're much less expensive than emergency dental work, which can set you back tens of thousands of dollars depending on the extent of the injury.
Don't forget other sports
Football isn't the only sport that brings with it a risk of dental injury. While mouthguards are only mandated for football, ice hockey, field hockey and lacrosse at American high schools, the American Dental Association strongly suggests wearing mouthguards for any activity that poses a risk of head injury. This includes gymnastics, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and wrestling.
For more information about choosing sports mouthguards for your child, talk to the dentists at Embree Dentistry in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Since boxers first began using them a century ago, athletic mouthguards are now standard safety equipment for most contact sports. Without them, dental injuries would skyrocket.
But a recent study in the peer-reviewed journal, General Dentistry, indicates there's another important reason to wear a mouthguard for contact sports or exercise: you may be able to significantly reduce your risk for a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), better known as a concussion. It's believed the mouthguard absorbs some of the force generated during contact, resulting in less pressure to the brain. That reduction is even more significant if your mouth-guard has been custom-made by a dentist.
That last finding is important, because not all mouthguards on the market are equal. There are three basic categories of mouthguards — stock, "boil and bite," and custom. Stock mouthguards come in limited sizes; they're relatively inexpensive, but they provide the least level of protection. "Boil and bite" can be customized after purchase to the wearer's bite, but they don't always provide complete coverage of back teeth. Custom mouthguards are designed and fashioned by a dentist; they're relatively expensive (running in the hundreds of dollars), but there's ample evidence they provide the highest level of protection from mouth injuries.
The General Dentistry study also corroborates custom mouthguards' effectiveness in preventing concussions. The study followed approximately 400 football players from six different high school teams. While all the players wore the same type of helmet, half of them wore custom-made mouthguards and the other half wore stock guards. 8.3% of the athletes wearing stock guards experienced a concussion injury; by contrast only 3.6% of those with custom guards sustained an injury — greater than half fewer occurrences.
The study also highlights the need not to rely solely on helmets or other protective headgear for concussion prevention. It's important to include mouthguards along with other athletic protective gear to lower injury risk as much as possible.
So when considering how you can provide the optimum injury protection for you or your child, be sure to include an athletic mouthguard, preferably one that's custom-made. We'll be happy to advise you further on what you need to know to prevent traumatic dental injuries, as well as concussions.

One question we are most often asked by parents of athletes or those who participate in physical sports is, "Do mouthguards really work?" And when we respond, "yes," a common follow-up question is, "Is there any scientific evidence to support this claim?" Based on this scenario, we feel it is important to provide you with some interesting and evidence-based facts on this topic.
The first reported use of mouthguards was in the sport of boxing. And because participants and bystanders in the 1920s quickly witnessed their effectiveness even back then, the trend's popularity grew to the point that boxing became the first professional sport to require them. However, other sports soon started following this lead — especially those high-contact sports. The American Dental Association (ADA) started mandating the use of mouthguards for football in 1962 and the US National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) currently requires mouthguards for football, ice hockey, lacrosse and field hockey. The ADA has since expanded their recommendations to now include 29 different sports and exercise activities. So now that you know more about the professional organizations pushing the use of mouthguards, let's get back to the second question, "What's the evidence?"
There have been numerous studies over the years regarding the properties of mouthguards, and more specifically their shock absorbing capabilities. Other studies have been based upon their protective abilities due to their stiffness, hardness and strength. This research has enabled us to vastly improve upon the effectiveness of mouthguards. For example, years ago latex rubber was a popular material used to create mouthguards. However, today we use products such as ethylene vinyl acetate or polyurethane because they are far superior in durability and flexibility. And impact studies have shown that the chances of fracturing teeth is dramatically reduced when wearing one of these mouthguards...especially when compared to individuals wearing no mouthguard at all. In fact, research has revealed that by not wearing a mouthguard during physical sports or exercise, individuals are 60 times more likely to experience an injury to the mouth and/or teeth.
To learn more about the importance of protective mouthguards, continue reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Athletic Mouthguards." Or you can contact us today to schedule an appointment to discuss your questions about mouthguards.
Just as you would expect, we highly recommend the use of protective mouthguards to anyone participating in contact sports or rigorous physical exercise. The primary reasons we feel this way are substantiated by evidence-based research and experience within our practice. If you don't think mouthguards are helpful, here are some facts you should know:
- Research conducted by the American Dental Association (ADA) found that individuals are 60 times more likely to damage their teeth when not wearing a mouthguard while engaged in contact sports or rigorous physical exercise. This shocking fact alone illustrates the importance of protective mouthguards.
- A study reported by the American Academy of General Dentistry (AAGD) found that mouthguards prevent more than 200,000 injuries to the mouth and/or teeth each year.
- Sports-related injuries often end-up in the emergency room; however, the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that more than 600,000 of these visits involve injury or damage to the teeth and mouth.
- In addition to the trauma of having a tooth (or teeth) knocked out, individuals who have suffered from this type of injury may end up spending $10,000 to $20,000 per tooth over a lifetime for teeth that are not properly preserved and replanted. This staggering statistic is from the National Youth Sports Foundation for Safety.
- While protective mouthguards were first used in the sport of boxing during the 1920s, the ADA now recommends their use in 29 (and growing) different high contact sports and activities. Some of these include acrobatics, baseball, basketball, bicycling, field hockey, football, handball, ice hockey, lacrosse, martial arts, skateboarding, skiing, soccer, softball, volleyball and wrestling.
- It used to be that only males were considered when it came to needing mouthguards. However, recent studies have revealed that the growing interest and participation of females in these same sports and activities makes it just as important for them to protect their teeth.
To learn more about the importance of mouthguards, continue reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Athletic Mouthguards." You can also contact us today to schedule an appointment or to discuss your questions about protecting your mouth and teeth. And if you have already suffered from a dental injury, let us evaluate the damage and work with you to restore the health and beauty of your teeth.
Protecting one's smile is important at any age. This is especially true for people who participate in contact sports or other activities where a trauma to the mouth can occur. While we all tend to believe that we are safe and that injuries "only happen to other people," we could not be further from the truth. Take, for example, Jillian Michaels, an accomplished author, business mogul, wellness expert, trainer and star of The Biggest Loser. She learned this invaluable lesson after breaking her two front teeth as a child and having them repaired with crowns. As Jillian stated in her interview with Dear Doctor magazine, "Now, I generally wear a mouthguard if I am doing anything where my teeth have any chance of being knocked out."
We feel obligated to educate our patients so that you can make informed decisions about your oral health. This is why we put together the following brief list of research findings.
Did you know?
- According to the American Dental Association, an athlete is 60 times more likely to suffer harm to the teeth when not wearing a mouthguard.
- The US Centers for Disease Control reports that sports-related dental injuries account for more than 600,000 visits to the emergency room each year.
- People who do not have a knocked-out tooth properly reserved or replanted may face a lifetime cost of $10,000 to $20,000 per tooth, according to the National Youth Sports Foundation for Safety.
- The Academy of General Dentistry estimates that mouthguards prevent more than 200,000 injuries each year.
If feel you and/or your children need a custom-fitted, professionally made mouthguard, contact us today to schedule an appointment. During your private consultation, we will conduct a thorough examination, listen to your concerns, and answer all of your questions as we discuss the best methods for protecting your investment — your own, or your children's, teeth.

Global Tax Alert (News from the EU Competency Group) | 26 November 2013
European Commission proposes amendments to Parent-Subsidiary Directive by introducing anti-hybrid clause and general anti-abuse provision
On 25 November 2013, the European Commission (the Commission) issued a proposal (the Proposal)1 for an amendment to the EU Parent-Subsidiary Directive (the Directive).2 The essential elements of the Proposal are (i) a "linking rule" that is supposed to deal with hybrid loan arrangements and (ii) a more detailed general anti-abuse rule (GAAR).
The proposed rule to deal with hybrid loans3 follows the 2012 Commission public consultation on double non-taxation that focused on hybrid mismatch arrangements. Such arrangements are also covered by the current OECD work on "Base Erosion and Profit Shifting" (BEPS) and similar initiatives of the EU Code of Conduct group. The OECD Action Plan on BEPS sets out two possible ways to deal with hybrid loans that would both link the tax treatment in one country to the tax treatment in another and can therefore be referred to as "linking rules." Accordingly, the payor country could deny the deduction if the yield was not taxed in the recipient country or the recipient country could refuse to grant an exemption if the payor was able to obtain a tax deduction. The Commission proposes the second option. According to the Proposal, the Member State where the recipient is resident should "refrain from taxing such profits to the extent that such profits are not deductible by the subsidiary of the parent company."
Contrary to statements made in the explanatory memorandum to the Proposal, the wording of the proposed amendment does, in fact, not specifically require the recipient's residence country to actually tax the payment. Therefore, it seems that the proposed amendment would only allow Member States to not apply the exemption foreseen in the Directive where they chose to do so. Granting an exemption even though the payment was deductible for the subsidiary might in itself not be contrary to the Proposal. This is in line with other provisions of the Directive, such as the minimum shareholding threshold that is required for the exemption, where some Member States decided to apply a more favorable approach by granting the exemption to shareholdings even below the minimum threshold foreseen in the Directive. The suggestion for the introduction of a more detailed and harmonized GAAR follows the announcement in the 2012 "Action Plan to strengthen the fight against tax fraud and tax evasion."4 The current Directive contains a very brief anti-abuse clause that allows Member States to apply their own domestic or treaty-based anti-abuse provisions. This was felt to potentially lead to unclarity and confusion. The Commission hopes that a harmonized GAAR would lead to more efficiency of anti-abuse measures taken at national level. Under the amended anti-abuse rule, the benefits of the Directive would not apply in the case of "an artificial arrangement or an artificial series of arrangements which has been put into place for the essential purpose of obtaining an improper tax advantage under this directive and which defeats the object, spirit and purpose of the tax provisions invoked."
According to the Proposal, "a transaction, scheme, action, operation, agreement, understanding, promise, or undertaking is an artificial arrangement or a part of an artificial series of arrangements where it does not reflect economic reality."
Such arrangements would be considered artificial where they involve one or more of the following situations:
"(a) the legal characterization of the individual steps which an arrangement consists of is inconsistent with the legal substance of the arrangement as a whole;
(b) the arrangement is carried out in a manner not ordinarily used in a reasonable business conduct;
(c) the arrangement includes elements having the effect of offsetting or cancelling each other;
(d) the transactions concluded are circular in nature;
(e) the arrangement results in a significant tax benefit which is not reflected in the business risks undertaken by the taxpayer or its cash flows."
This amendment appears to merely codify the principles that were developed by the Court of Justice of the EU over time. Since currently Member States are authorized to apply their domestic anti-abuse rules, the proposed GAAR would be an improvement as it would hopefully result in more uniform application of anti-abuse rules within the EU.
If adopted in its current form, Member States would have time until 31 December 2014 to amend their laws. However, as mentioned above both amendments do not limit Member States in their taxation rights. Member States must implement limitations to their domestic tax laws, but may go beyond the requirements of the Directive. Therefore, it seems that a Member State could choose to not implement the GAAR and/or the linking rule, without this being considered a violation of the Directive. Nevertheless, in the current political situation most Member States will likely implement the GAAR and/or the linking rule if not yet foreseen in their current legislation. Furthermore, the question arises whether the European Commission could force the Member States to implement the amendments based on the concept of EU loyalty. However, even then taxpayers should be able to rely on their more generous local legislation until the amendments are actually implemented.
1. COM (2013) 814 final.
2. Council Directive 90/435/EEC on the common system of taxation applicable in the case of parent companies and subsidiaries of different Member States.
3. Hybrid loans are financial instruments that are treated as debt in one country and as equity in the other country, possibly resulting in the payor of the interest obtaining a tax deduction and the income being considered a tax-exempt dividend in the hands of the recipient.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner has moved to play down the divisions in his team and claims his drivers have made up after a post-race party.
Even though photographers captured Mark Webber unable to smile as he sternly shook his team-mate Sebastian Vettel's hand at Silverstone, Horner said the team then decamped to his nearby house in Oxfordshire on Sunday evening for a night of singing. Mere hours after Niki Lauda described the atmosphere at Red Bull as "poisonous", Horner insisted that, with both the drivers on stage alongside himself and Adrian Newey, they sang a karaoke version of the 1970s classic American Pie.
But while Webber wanted a round of "decent chats" with Horner on Monday, the team principal said he will not sit down with the British Grand Prix winner until later this week. Allaying the suspicion of bias within the media, though, Horner insisted points leader Webber is not the No. 2 driver.
"There is no desire because of Sebastian nationality, age or looks to give preference to one car or the other," Horner told British newspapers. "It is about winning grands prix, challenging for and winning championships. There has never been any pressure from Red Bull to favour one driver over the other. I didn't have a conversation with Helmut [Marko, Red Bull's motorsport adviser and Vettel's mentor] or anyone from Red Bull regarding the decision to give Sebastian the wing. It was purely a technical decision, which I discussed with Adrian [Newey]. My one regret is that I didn't have time to discuss the issue with Mark personally prior to qualifying as I'm sure that would have given him a more balanced understanding."
"If there were a recurrence at the next race then the component would go to Mark's car on the same basis, of championship position. I can understand the degree of Mark's frustration. The change happened so close to qualifying and I didn't have the chance to explain the rationale as I would have wished.
"Mark is fully aware that the team has done everything possible to help him. His chassis, for example, is lighter than Sebastian's because he is that little bit heavier. There was a new floor that on this occasion went to his side of the garage."
He also rubbished reports that Webber's mechanics taunted Vettel's side of the garage by waving the old front wing at them as the team packed up the garage.
"It's ridiculous," he said. "Our mechanics are completely for each other, irrelevant of the car crew. I believe this is behind us. If there was any ill-feeling, it is resolved and we move on as a team which has won five races, more than anyone else, this season."
Meanwhile, McLaren driver Jenson Button is hoping the disharmony at Red Bull will play to his team's advantage.
"People take the mick out of how well Lewis and I get on but it works well with our team and it means the guys back in the factory are not worrying about us and how we are with each other," said Button. "They can focus on making our car quicker."
Lewis Hamilton seems to have taken Webber's side, commenting on the wing scenario: "If that was me? ... Jeez."

Re: July 23 Press article
In the article concerning the lady and her dog who were attacked by a pit bull amd mastiff, it was stated that it was "only the ninth such attack since Jan. 1, 2013."
Only the ninth attack? Should one conclude that the vicious dog-owners of Sheridan are doing a good job of keeping innocent pets and their owners out of harm's way by allowing only nine attacks this year?
Such a mindset angers me.
The owner of those two vicious dogs involved in the latest attack said she was "unaware" of her gate containing the animals being open — as if, "No big deal."
I for one am extremely tired of inconsiderate dog owners who feel it is their right to own a dog, any kind of dog, no matter what implications it may have for their longsuffering neighbors or how irresponsibly the animals are disciplined.
It should be considered a privilege, and the lady who owns the two vicious dogs is a prime example of someone who should lose that privilege.
Maybe — it is hoped that — she'll think twice about being so lackadaisical and owning such out-of-control animals if the good judge levies the highest penalty allowed by law upon her at her hearing Aug. 5.

PEORIA, Ill., Jan. 5 (UPI) -- U.S. Senate seats are for sale in Illinois, says a Peoria jeweler who is producing necklace charms in the shape of the Senate's chairs.
In a parody of the legal predicament faced by Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, accused of trying to "sell" the vacant Senate seat of U.S. President-elect Barack Obama in exchange for campaign cash and personal favors, Brad Pettet of Pettet Jewelry Designs says his ¾-inch "Senate seats" are buyable for between $35 and $175, Gatehouse News Service reported Monday.
"The whole point of this is to have a little bit of fun," Pettet told the news service. "People say they are embarrassed to be from Illinois. I'm not embarrassed. It's Chicago politics. You ought to be used to it by now."
Pettet said the necklace and bracelet charms sell in sterling silver for $35 each, in 14-karat gold for $175 each and in platinum, which he said will go at market prices.

The ICC Offers No Quick Fix to Palestine
|Perjantaina, 9. tammikuuta 2015 0 kommentti(a)
Katja Creutz
Vanhempi tutkija - Globaali turvallisuus -tutkimusohjelma
The recent move by the Palestinian Authority to step up its involvement in international institutions has culminated in its bid in early January 2015 to join the International Criminal Court (ICC). As the UN has approved the Palestinian request to join the Court, the Court will exercise jurisdiction over international crimes committed in the territory of Palestine as of April 2015. This means that irrespective of nationality, persons involved in war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide in the territory of Palestine can be tried before the Court.
From this follows that the Palestinians will likely try to get the Court to investigate alleged crimes committed by Israel. These include, for example, Israeli settlement practices, but also the July-August 2014 Gaza war due to a Palestinian declaration accepting retroactive jurisdiction of the ICC. Such proceedings would evidently bring publicity to the Palestinian cause. According to the Palestinian Authority, the era of impunity that has characterized Israeli actions will now come to an end.
But there are limits to what can be achieved through the ICC. Even if the Court would open investigations into alleged Israeli crimes, its work suffers from limited resources, slowness, and non-cooperation. ICC proceedings take years, in addition to which Israeli non-cooperation would likely complicate and prolong the proceedings. Any attempts to bring Israelis before the Court would be stopped by the Israeli government, which indeed has already proclaimed that it will never render its soldiers to the ICC. Palestine as a state party to the Rome Statute will also bring along new problems to be dealt with by the Court, such as whether Palestine is a state and how to define what territory actually comprises the contracting party.
Meanwhile the Palestinians will suffer from counteractions. Israel has already refused to pay the Palestinian Authority its tax revenues, and the United States has declared that there will be implications such as cut in financial aid due to the accession. The EU has reacted by condemning the Israeli withholding of taxes rather than by taking a stance on the Palestinian accession. Overall, it seems however that the Palestinian move to join the Court is generally taken to be counterproductive as it compromises a return to peace talks.
There is also another side to the ICC accession, which must not be forgotten. By joining the Court, the Palestinian Authority must harmonize its own legislation in line with the Rome Statute, and seek to prevent, investigate and punish possible war criminals of its own. Whether it will stand up to this task or not, remains to be seen. For certain, in the future both the international community and the ICC will be closely watching the Palestinians.

Kingsway Community CentreWednesday, February 20th, 2013
I read the following in an email from Joe Logan (Kingsway Residents Association Chairman) today, (taken from Cllr Fred Wood's Facebook page, I hope he doesn't mind):
The awaited Kingsway Community Centre moves a step closer following the green light to proceed given by Gloucester City Council.
A complication was the need to revise the Unilateral Undertaking following earlier changes to some of the schemes originally planned for Kingsway which were necessary to meet local wishes – for example a BMX track rather than a Bowling Green.
Everything is now in order and I am pleased that QUVL are now planning to re-tender the contact with the aim of building the Community Centre and other planned facilities without unnecessary delay.
I welcome this good news and look forward to seeing Kingsway getting its Community Centre and also the planned Sports Pavilion and BMX track.
It is not all over yet and I will press on for process during my regular discussions with QUVL and through the Kingsway Development Group.

Studying how the mind and brain work sounds like it ought to be about as futile as trying to grab handfuls of air. Yet psychology, neuroscience and related fields have made amazing progress. This special issue of Scientific American reviews just a sliver of the discoveries that investigators from around the globe have made about the workings of our inner lives. The breadth of subjects tracks the vastness of thought. Several of our authors grapple with supremely tough questions: How does the gray matter in our skulls give rise to self-awareness? How can we have free will if our brains are bound by predictable mechanisms? How does memory work? Other articles describe how new genetic and biochemical findings elucidate causes of mental illness but also pose ethical quandaries. They illuminate mysteries of sensory perception. They explore how understanding of mental function can help us deal with mundane issues, such as solving problems creatively or making our arguments more persuasive. And a few celebrate the strange, unexpected beauties of the human condition.More
This special edition of Scientific American provides an inside look at the brain through eight thought-provoking articles. The cover article examines the special "genius" that accompanies autism and other brain disorders. This issue's other topics include brain wiring versus freewill, compulsive television addictions, stress, anxiety, and the science behind the art of persuasion. Lucky for us, you don't need to be a brainiac to follow the narration. This performer uses relaxed pacing, and his tone is straightforward but engaged. Meanwhile, his enunciation tackles scientific vocabulary with ease.

Theres a user here AkariZero who's translated the stages up to Stage 6(Masaki Route). Full translation too.
I'd personally donate some money to him if he got them out faster. >_>
I'd wager it'll take a few months to do the whole thing, since he's doing it solo, which is fine if you have a backlog(like me).
I'm sleepy.

From a gameplay standpoint:
Have you played a SRT before? If yes, you'll be right at home.
If not... It'll take a while getting used to what is what, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. Plus, there's always the help topic and Akurasu Wiki for pretty much every translation you'll need.
From a story standpoint:
Well... You're out of luck. The Inspector Anime does happen before this, but it won't really help that much.

Thanks, guys!
I played OG1 (until my favorite character turned sides lol), OG Saga (which doesn't really count, from a gameplay standpoint) and SRWW (which is the only SRW I ever finished), and I'm also used to playing games in japanese, but when I checked here and didn't find any FAQ, I got worried. Can't really play this game without at least knowing the pilot skills, since they're absolutely useful.
And yes, this game looks so freaking awesome! I just NEED to play this!

No Japanese here!
If Atlus never localized OG1 and 2 on GBA, I might still not know of the series' existence today. When those came out here, I immediately fell in love with them. Then I was sad that OGs wasn't going to be localized here for PS2, and had to import it. Since I had played the hell out of the GBA games, I pretty much knew what was going on, and was familiar with the menu system. I looked up some guides that translated story synopsis and such for the extra bits they added to OGs.
Then OGG came out, and I had to get that. Since the story was completely new, I had to spend a little more time learning the names of the new characters and mechs. Had no clue what the heck was going on story wise. I actually still need to go back and see if I can find some translated story synopsis for OGG, as there wasn't really anything I noticed out at the time I was playing it. And now it's the same for this game. New mechs and pilots, new plot that I'm completely oblivious to. At least there's an awesome thread here by KaneBlueriver, I think, that is giving a translated summary of what's going on before and during each mission (THANK YOU sir!!!)
I don't know a lick of Japanese, and am continuing to play SRW (well, just the OG games so far). While playing the PS2 games, I started using a katakana chart to try and work out character and mech names, weapons, etc. myself before looking it up. As a result, I've actually gotten pretty decent at sounding out words written in katakana without having to look them up. But that has nothing to do with Japanese; I've learned to be able to read the Engrish words, and that's it. For this game, I've barely had to look at my katakana chart to be able to read the new character and mech names. Between the akurasu wiki and some great topics here, not knowing any of the Japanese is a non issue. The game's a ton of fun!
Ah, I just noticed KaneBlueriver posted here last. And he has the URL's to the translated story summaries I was talking about, no less. He's the man!

*raises hand* I've been learning bits of Japanese from SRW, other RPGs, and various other *coughs* um..."sources". I took Japanese 1 in high school, never had a chance to take Japanese 2, and none of the colleges I went to offered Japanese. So I'm entirely self-taught from 2000-ish onwards. I don't really believe I'll ever reach any level of literacy. It's easier for me to read/understand languages than it is for me to write or speak them. I stutter to the point where my Latin teacher in 8th grade almost sent me to the principal's office for being so nervous I couldn't answer a question.
Language is my one and only skill, but too bad I'm terrible with people and can't finish a sentence half the time.

I hooked up with someone, everything went well, and in the morning he left before I woke up. But he left a pair of prescription glasses behind. I want to return them, but he isn't answering my texts. Do I write it off as his loss? Do I hold on to the glasses in case he decides to come back for them?
He Said: About six months ago, a friend of mine hooked up with a woman who left her Prada (or knockoff) sunglasses at his place. He was hopeful that she left them as an excuse to get back together but after swapping messages with her, she asked him to leave them at the bar where they met and said she would get them later. The bartender he left them with said he knew who she was and added that she was normally at the bar with her boyfriend. Case closed.
It's possible your date hasn't responded because he or she gave you someone else's cell number, but regardless it's likely he doesn't want contact with you. If you want to be thoughtful, you could send one more text saying that you'll leave the specs with someone at the location where you two hooked up. Hanging on to the specs could be a kind of ransom—as in, If you ever want to see your glasses again, you must contact me. But I wouldn't do that.
She Said: There are only two realistic possibilities here: He gave you the wrong cell number, or he's gotten your texts and isn't coming back for his glasses. Who knows why? He could be married, engaged, running for office, immature, completely averse to the slightest awkwardness or conflict, or have an STD he fears you've discovered by now. In any case, he's no prize, and you sound like you know that already. Put the glasses somewhere out of sight—under your bathroom sink with other toiletries, in the back of your closet or some storage box. On the slight chance he's out of the country or hospitalized and later gets in touch, he can pick them up. If not, you won't see them until the next time you move, at which point you can toss them.

This is the second of our four step process towards deploying an iOS application to a device. In our first segment we walked through the full process of creating iOS developer certificates in Visual Studio. Our next step is registering any iOS devices we need onto our iOS developer profile. This registration plus our third step - creating an App ID - are prerequisites to the final step of building provisioning profiles. Once we have provisioning profiles we can actually test our our apps on real devices.
Grab your iOS devices and let's get started.
To register your iOS device with Apple you'll need to know its UDID (Unique Device Identifier). Unfortunately there is currently no way to get your device's UDID in Visual Studio, but you can easily get the UDID in iTunes.
Connect your iOS device to your machine, open iTunes, and click on your device.
From there, click on the "Serial Number" text to reveal the device's UDID.
Unfortunately you can not copy this number to the clipboard, therefore you'll have to reference it when registering your device on Apple's developer portal, which we'll cover next.
Now that we have the device's identifier, we have to register it with Apple. On Apple's iOS developer site, click on the "Certificates, Identifiers, & Profiles" link.
Next, click on "Devices" under iOS Apps.
At the top of the list of iOS devices, click the plus icon to add a new device.
At the following screen, give the device a name and provide the UDID we found in iTunes earlier.
Finally, click the register button to finish the device registration process.
That's it! We now have our devices setup and associated with our iOS developer account. We'll need these devices available when we setup provisioning profiles for testing our applications. We'll tackle that in the last of our four step series. In our next step, we'll look at the final requirement before creating provisioning profiles - registering an App Id.

This epic of the booming 1920 s uniquely captures the relentless culture of American business. A classic novel about conformity in small town America - celebrated for its comic tone, satire, and vivid dialogue.
Lewis's tale of middle-class frustration, stress and success in the 1920s is brought to life by the L.A. Theatre Works' 1987 full cast production featuring more than 30 actors, including Ed Asner (as Babbitt), Judge Reinhold, Ted Danson, Richard Dreyfuss, Helen Hunt and John Lithgow. With a deep and raspy voice and with great projection, Asner delivers a believable and amusing performance that securely anchors the entire production. Whether bullying his family or spouting politics with his friends at the club, Asner keeps the consistency of the self-aggrandizing character solid throughout. Jazz music segues well between scenes, though without any additional production sound beyond voices, it can at times feel out of place. While the full cast proves enjoyable in their individual parts, many take turns narrating the exposition throughout the production. At times, this is executed well, but sometimes it feels as if the director is just trying to give everyone more voice time.

Israeli air exercises go on despite Romania deaths
The Israeli Air Force will continue carrying out long-range exercises abroad, despite the helicopter crash last week in Romania in which six Israeli aircrew and one Romanian liaison officer were killed.
Exercise "Blue Skies" was scheduled to take place for two weeks over Romania, but was terminated last Monday when an IAF CH-53 Sea Stallion transport helicopter crashed in the Carpathian Mountains killing all seven on board.
Due to the inaccessibility of the crash site, it took Romanian troops and members of the IDF's elite Airborne Rescue Unit over 48 hours to remove the bodies, and a further 24 hours for the members of the Chaplaincy Corps to identify them. They were flown back to Israel for burial on Friday morning.
"These exercises over unfamiliar terrain, far from home are invaluable," said Deputy Air Force Commander, Brigadier General Nimrod Shefer, "and we will continue with them."
Over the past few years, the IAF has greatly expanded the number of foreign training deployments and joint exercises with other air forces. This year, in addition to the one in Romania, Israeli combat jets have trained in, among other countries, the United States, Italy and Greece.
In the past, the main foreign country where the IAF pilots trained was Turkey, which had a number of unique advantages; a large airspace relatively close to Israel and joint borders with Syria, Iraq and Iran, all potential targets. But over the past 18 months, following the Gaza operation, ties with Turkey have deteriorated and the number of joint exercises dramatically reduced.
"There are still a large number of countries in Europe, Nato members, which are interested in flying with us," assures a senior IAF officer. "They want to share our operational experience."
Despite the IAF's prestige, its commander, Major General Ido Nehushtan, said recently that he is aware that his pilots have not experienced a major operation against a well-equipped enemy since the attack on the Syrian anti-aircraft defence batteries in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley in 1982.
The deployments abroad enable the pilots of the jet fighters, and search and rescue helicopters, to practise long-range missions over unfamiliar terrain, and flying against other air forces using different tactics.
Though the pilots never speak about it in public, the implication is clear: these are the conditions they will have to contend with in any potential attack of Iran's nuclear installations.

It's difficult to stay on the cutting edge when you've spent 184 years as a retailer. So what's the management of Lord & Taylor to do to regain market position and lure a new set of customers? The department store chain is looking at expansion in key markets. But it's going to take a much more comprehensive strategy to stay in the game with the likes of Nordstrom (JWN) pulling ahead of the pack.
Lord & Taylor is scoping a location in New York's Westchester county, home of its number two performer. On the surface, this is a good move. Residents of the New York City suburbs are well-heeled and don't mind paying premium prices for the luxury of not having to schlep down to the chain's flagship on Fifth Avenue. Likewise, brand recognition is high here, as the Scarsdale branch has been catering to the doyennes of the outer 'burbs for half a century.
Farther afield, the Lord & Taylor cachet has failed to capture the imagination (and the credit cards) of shoppers. Its last foray back in 2000 pitted L&T against local luxury darling Neiman Marcus on the competitor's home turf of Dallas. L&T shuttered that outlet two years later. Currently the NRDC Private Equity-owned chain operates 45 smallish (think 150,000 square feet) stores mostly in the northeast and prides itself on personal shopping and haute customer service.
To really expand its reach and establish some name recognition, Lord & Taylor needs to embrace the potential for e-commerce. Right now, L&T's Web site is a static affair that looks more suited to a discount chain than a quality department store. Sure there's an L&T Twitter stream, a Facebook fan page, and a dedicated satellite site, "In the Know," that cops all the "editorial" trends that have made other retailers a go-to for fashionistas. But among the devotees, there's a contingent of, ahem, older ladies who are dedicated to classic style and don't know the first thing about mobile apps and RSS feeds.
Nordstrom, on the other hand, has always cultivated a more youthful, fashion forward consumer alongside its more mature, service-conscious clientele. And for the past two years, the Seattle-based retailer has been consistently delivering to both markets by serving up stylish apparel at reasonable prices while developing an innovative e-tail strategy. By merging the inventory in its stores with stock from its Web warehouse, and adding location-based functionality to its shopping site, Nordstrom's pulled in handsome sales gains while its competitors struggle.
Lord & Taylor would do well to explore a similar inventory integration strategy as it attempts to re-position itself as a relevant retailer. Saying it plans to target professional women between 35 and 55 years old (a group that's converting to social media in droves) is not enough. It has to prove it can be a contender amid a retail landscape that's filled to bursting with outlets peddling affordable chic -- especially if it chooses to stay the course on the classic cuts and timeless styles that appeal to its core consumer.
For every sensible pump and sheath dress on Lord & Taylor's racks (real or virtual) you can bet there's a similar option at Nordstrom's or Bloomingdales (M). And let's not forget that there's likely a revamped Talbot's (TLB) in the neighborhood, just waiting to lure women through the (formerly red) doors, too.

We have commissioned Smarter Web Company to remake 5 websites for our Group, so have been through the design phases of all five and were very happy with the design work from Andrew and his team - they were also very fast at making any requested changes to the design.
We have then had 4 our of 5 sites built - which again was very quick and done well. I have then used the content management system to edit the content of 3 of the websites so far. I have heard that CMS's can be quite complicated and clunky to use (and was told that a low-cost one would be especially clunky!) but this system is an absolute dream to use! So simple and quick to edit content, add images, add new pages and so on.
Smarter Web Company is excellent value for money and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- From all the attention doted upon Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson, you'd think the Chase for the Nextel Cup was a two-man race.
That would require us to forget about Carl Edwards, though -- something to which the young Roush Racing driver is not receptive. In fact, to ensure he no longer remained in the background of the title talk, Edwards went out and posted a 176.051-mph lap to win the pole position for Sunday's Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
If he can hold onto that position for just one circuit, he'll have five precious, and sometimes elusive, bonus points in the bag -- a huge help in his attempt to close the 87-point gap between him and points leader Stewart.
Edwards is clear about this much, though: Starting up front is great; finishing up front is the real goal.
"I really don't have any option other than just go out and try to lead the most laps and win the race," he said. "I can't control how well those other guys run. If we had a lead, it would be different. I think in Tony's position, he's probably gonna be very aware of where he can run and still win the championship. But anything other than winning this race on Sunday is honestly gonna be a disappointment.
"I mean, we have to go out and do this. If we can leave here on Sunday with a victory and a good performance on our part, we're gonna be happy no matter what."
Old reliable
Stewart and his No. 20 Chevy team know full well that their driver is capable of racing a clean race. That shifts the focus of ensuring a finish of ninth or better on the crew and, really, on the car.
That's why Stewart's team is going to old reliable: chassis No. 83. This particular car has raced 15 times and finished better than ninth in 10 of those tries. Even better, it's logged three victories -- including Stewart's Brickyard 400 win.
Last Call
Rusty Wallace, winner of 55 races and one Cup title, will race his last race on Sunday. And while he's looking forward to the pomp and circumstance the speedway has planned as a tribute for the racing legend, he says he's more focused on leaving a proper legacy behind. He wants to go out like Ted Williams or Michael Jordan (the first time).
"The bottom line is that we do have this one race left and we intend to make the best of it," Wallace said. "We want the fans to be able to look back years from now and say, 'Hey, ol' Rusty Wallace was right there battling for the win all the way to the end.'"
Wallace said he's positive he can make it happen. His test went well at Miami and his team has become more and more consistent at 1.5-mile tracks. And he dispenses with any notion that his emotions might get in the way.
"When we fire the engines, I'll guarantee you that it'll be business as usual," he said. "There's nothing I'd like better to win in my last race. We've been on top of our game this year. We made the Chase and have had a bunch of top-five and top-10 finishes. It would be really cool to go out a winner. That's something that everyone would always remember."
Practice run
Jeff Gordon and his new No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports team have had nine races to work toward next season, watching the Chase from the outside looking in while trying to build chemistry with a new crew chief and other personnel.
Gordon says the trial period has been educational. He cautions that nobody will know whether things are going to work out until Daytona Speedweeks in February, but all of the signs are positive thus far. After all, he's moved from 17th to 11th in the last four races.
"I always look at the positive of everything," Gordon said. "You know, with us not being in the Chase, it puts us in the mindset of working for next year. Helps you get prepared for next year. It doesn't really do anything for Daytona next year, it's just mainly for tracks and speedway and mile and a halfs and building the chemistry and the confidence of the team to give us something to build on in the offseason."
Busch backtracks
Kyle Busch acknowledged Saturday that he made
a mistake last week when he stormed out of a post-race interview
following his victory at Phoenix.
Busch had said that media reports regarding his older brother's
run-in with police were untrue. When asked exactly what was false,
the younger Busch said, "I'm not going there. That was a really,
really inappropriate question."
Busch returned about 20 minutes later and answered questions.
"I made a mistake and I realize that," Busch said Saturday. "Everything that was said was said during a high-emotion time. I
know I have the opportunity of a lifetime here, and I don't want to
screw it up any."
Reiser mourns
Robbie Reiser, crew chief for the No. 17 Ford
driven by Matt Kenseth, mourned the loss of his father.
John Reiser died Saturday after battling cancer for several
months. He was 67. The elder Reiser raced in Wisconsin from 1958-76
and won the state's late model, dirt track championship in 1972. He
also served as general manager for Roush Racing's Busch and
Craftsman Truck Series race shops through May, overseeing five
"John was a special and talented racer," Jack Roush said. "He
taught and touched all members of the Roush Racing organization."
Tracy hunting
Former Champ Car champion Paul Tracy worked the
garage area Saturday, talking to NASCAR owners about trying to
secure a ride for the future.
"I want to give this a try. I've made no secret about that,"
said Tracy, who lives in Florida. "My ideal situation would be to
run about 10 to 12 races next season, and I'm out here trying to
make it happen. The biggest thing for me is to get into a good car.
I can't waste my time with a bad ride."
Tracy tested with Richard Childress Racing earlier this year
with the possibility of racing for the team at Michigan in August.
"There's just too much going on," Tracy said, explaining why
it didn't work out. "There was just too much to work something out
for me."
Busy day
Mark Martin and Todd Bodine were busy drivers
Saturday. They drove in the Craftsman Truck Series season-ending
race in the morning, followed by Busch Series qualifying and Nextel
Cup qualifying.
They ended the day with the Busch race.
"We've got a bunch of iron men here, so I don't think it will
be a problem," Martin said. "I'm used to running 500 miles on
Sunday, and the truck and Busch races are shorter than that, so I
don't see it being an issue."

A New Doll for Christmas
Knox County — A New Doll for Christmas
A story by Sandra Sylvester
A long time ago, maybe longer than even I can remember, there was a little girl who loved dolls. She had a few dolls she played with all day long; playing mother; having tea parties with her tin tea set; lining them all up on her bed and having long conversations with them.
She played with her dolls so much that they were all beginning to look a little raggedy. She had a Raggedy Ann doll, but in her case, all her dolls were raggedy. That didn't mean she didn't love them any less. She adored them. She kissed each one good night when she arranged them around her pillow at bedtime. They were all her best friends, her babies.
One day just after Thanksgiving she went grocery shopping with her mother. Friday was grocery shopping day because it was the day her father got paid. After her mother put money away for each of the utility bills—electricity, heating oil, and phone, and Christmas Club money, which she put into their own separate envelope in her envelope file—she put the rest of the cash in her purse and took the little girl with her up to First National to get the week's groceries. Her father would join them later after he'd cleaned up from his job at the Cement Plant.
The Christmas Club was a special bank account a lot of mothers had in which they put away two or three dollars a week to save for Christmas presents in December. If they could manage to keep the saving habit up all year, they had quite a bit of money to spend on gifts when the time came. No one had credit cards in those days. The closest thing to it was the layaway plan in which people still paid cash before they could take the item home. Cash was king.
On this particular day the store was already festive with Christmas decorations. Special end-of-aisle displays held Christmas decorations; special Christmas-decorated dishes like candy dishes and Christmas mugs, Christmas candles and the like. But one particular display caught the little girl's eye right away. It was the prettiest doll she had ever seen.
The doll stood there smiling at her with its little delicate painted lips. Her two arms were extended as if reaching out for the little girl. She stood next to a small decorated artificial Christmas tree with little wrapped presents under it.
The doll was dressed in a dress of the most beautiful shade of light blue. It was decorated with lace and silver and white ribbons. On top of that she wore the brightest red velvet coat decorated with artificial white fur. She had on a white furry hat and draped over one arm was a muff that matched the coat which also had white fur for decoration. Her white boots were of the same fur as the coat and muff.
The little girl also saw that the doll had blond hair just like she did. She wondered what it would be like to own such a beautiful doll.
She squeezed her mother's hand and said, "Look, Mama, isn't she beautiful?"
Her mother said, "Yes, she is, isn't she."
Her mother then fingered the price tag and standing back quickly said, "Well let's go, Dear. We need to get some groceries for Daddy."
The little girl did as her mother said but she stole one last look at the beautiful doll as she walked down the first aisle hanging on to the grocery cart.
In the few weeks left before Christmas, the little girl stood in front of the doll every Friday and imagined what it would be like to play with her. She even named her. Rosalie. Almost like her own name, Rosie. The store clerks got to expect her every week and thought she was so cute when she talked to "her" doll, Rosalie.
Rosie dreaded the day after Christmas when she knew the doll would be gone, maybe into the home of some other little girl. She had looked at the price tag too. The cost was over $20 which was a lot of money for her family in 1952. Her father had been out of work for a few weeks before Thanksgiving because of a strike at the plant. The family was just now getting caught up and money for Christmas was going to be tight. Even at her young age, she knew that owning that doll was probably a big impossibility and that even Santa might not be able to bring it to her.
Rosie's mother noticed how much her little girl adored that doll, but she didn't think her small Christmas Club money this year would allow her to spend that much money on one gift for just Rosie. There were three other kids in the family after all and she didn't want anyone to be left out because of one gift.
The mother wished that the store wouldn't make the doll look so pretty sitting up there in a prominent place where every little girl going by would see it. This community was not a rich one and she imagined there was more than one little girl who would love to have that doll for Christmas and would be disappointed when they didn't get it.
Well, she thought, there's always the dime bank.
The dime bank was a glass jar in the shape of a bear she kept sitting on the shelf above her kitchen sink. It used to hold honey at one time. When she had dimes left over from shopping trips, she'd put them in the jar. Many times she had designated that money for a specific item she wanted to buy. Well, maybe this time it could be for the doll.
It was close to Christmas though and she didn't know if she had enough money in the dime jar to cover the cost of the doll. She decided to wait till the last minute to buy the doll so that the dimes would accumulate as much as possible.
Meanwhile, Rosie continued to talk to her new doll, Rosalie, every time she went to the grocery store with her mother. The store manager even knew about Rosie and her doll after a while. He smiled because he had a little girl about her age and he was thinking of getting her that doll for Christmas.
On the last weekend before Christmas the mother left Rosie at home with her big sister so she could try to make a deal with the manager about the doll. She only had half of the money needed and hoped to be able to give the store the rest in installments after Christmas.
When she went into the store she went to look at the doll one more time before deciding whether to get it or not. She looked in the spot where the display was and the doll was gone.
Oh, no, where is it, she thought. Rosie is going to be so disappointed. Well, I don't think she really expected to get that expensive doll for Christmas anyway. Maybe it's for the best.
Suddenly she felt someone at her shoulder and turned around to see the manager. She knew him as he went to the same church as her family did.
"Where's Rosie today," he said. "She always likes to look at 'her' doll every time you come in."
"Oh, I left her at home. I wanted to try to get that doll for her but I see it's gone. Did you sell all of them?"
"Actually we only had a few and we just sold the last one today. However, I do expect some more to come in the day before Christmas. Would you like me to save one for you?"
"Well…I don't know," she said. "I really don't have enough money to buy it. I was hoping to be able to put it on a layaway plan or something and pay you each week after Christmas so she'd have it for Christmas day…but I guess that's probably a little bit too much to ask…"
"You know what," he said. "I know things have been tough for you this year. It's been bad for everyone what with the strike and all. I don't see why we can't make some kind of a deal. That's depending on whether the new shipment gets here in time. Let's cross our fingers OK. And don't worry about the money, we'll figure out something. Check back with me the day before Christmas."
The mother left the store with her groceries hoping that maybe she could really make her little girl's dream come true. She didn't tell her husband about the doll. He would feel awful if he knew how much his little girl wanted that special doll. That doll represented hope for a better year for the family. If she could put that doll under the tree for Christmas, the light shining in her little girl's eyes would be the best Christmas present any family could have.
Those last few days before Christmas seemed to go by so slow for Rosie. School was closed for the Christmas holiday and the weather became bad. A nor'easter hit the coast and everyone was struggling to make last minute preparations for Christmas. After that storm came another storm, of icy sleet. Things went from bad to worse.
Rosie's mother was worried that the special shipment with the dolls in it might not make it up the two lane highway to town in those trucks which had to go up and down some very steep hills before they arrived.
On Christmas morning Rosie awoke to sun coming into her bedroom window. The ice on top of the snow outside shone like a blanket of twinkling Christmas lights. It was beautiful…and at last it was Christmas.
She snuck downstairs ahead of everyone else to see what Santa might have left under the tree for her. She expected to have only one or two gifts this year. She hadn't even asked for anything special because she knew her mother would be sad if she couldn't get it for her. She'd be happy with what she got she decided. Next year would be better she knew.
She looked under the tree and stared in awe at the big red ribbon draped over her doll, Rosalie. She was really here in her own home. She could reach out and touch her and hold her and rock her to sleep. It had to be the best Christmas she ever had. She didn't care if there was not another thing under the tree for her. Rosalie had gotten adopted by one very special girl.
"Merry Christmas, Rosalie," she said. "Merry Christmas and welcome home."
P.S. This story is a work of fiction no matter how much one little girl might think it's about her.

Routest::Tiny have improved a lot since the first release in 2011. Here I collected some tips and tricks that maybe are not that obvious from the documentation.
Below are the practical examples from the working Kritika code.
Routest::Tiny have improved a lot since the first release in 2011. Here I collected some tips and tricks that maybe are not that obvious from the documentation.
Below are the practical examples from the working Kritika code.
Let's implement the real world scenario: every time we push to GitHub we want to run perl critic on Kritika rules and tests with coverage on TravisCI. Then we want to merge these results together in one place to be able to say: yes, this is a good commit (or a pull request)! Connecting all three services is an easy 3-steps process (5mins approximately).
For the last year and a half I have been doing some code reviewing at work. And I noticed that most of the time the tasks are reopened because of very small things, like text formatting, variable naming and so on. This could've been prevented just by using Perl::Critic for example. Unfortunaly the code base is big, and that would take a lot of time. That's why I have written https://kritika.io which makes the analysis incrementally and is damn easy to integrate with GitHub and Travis CI (or anything else actually). The service is in beta right, but i have been using it secretly for the last 5 months anyway. It is useful for me, maybe it can be useful for you too.
I have collected the most useful web application design pattern that I use in web applications I code at work and also for my personal projects. They are presented in a way of a problem and a solution.
For http://pragmaticperl.com I needed a tool to post the new issue announcement to several social networks. It ended up supporting Facebook, Twitter, LiveJournal, VK, Email, IRC, Jabber/XMPP, Skype and more.
If you want to use mixins in Perl you don't have to install anything or play with symbol table yourself. It's right there, in the core.
Often you want to know how much time you spend on a random computer activity during your work/home day. There are lots of apps that allow you to record the time, unfortunately you have to manualy turn them on and off. It can be really frustraiting when you forget to do so. So I have written an app that does that automatically.
SQL::Composer is yet another SQL mapper. But unlike others it does something very useful. It allows you to not only build an SQL from a Perl structure, but when getting the data from database to map it back to the usable Perl structure.
So I have decided to look into the Go language a bit closer. Last time I ended doing just a simple tutorial. This time I decided to rewrite this blog engine (http://github.com/vti/Twist) in Go. The result can be found on GitHub (http://github.com/vti/twigo). There is no really a need to describe the language learning issues in this blog post, but I wanted to share a comfortable infrastructure that I researched while trying to learn Go.
While trying out mop I decided to implement contracts, or basically a simple type checking system.

Recovering A-Rod hits basepaths
Recovering A-Rod hits basepaths
While training at the Yankees' Spring Training home in Tampa, Fla., on Wednesday, the All-Star third baseman ran the bases for the first time since undergoing right hip surgery on March 9, according to The Associated Press.
Rodriguez ran 10 times between first and second base -- including twice with a trainer pulling on a strap around his waist -- and also increased his defensive drills, the AP said. Rodriguez charged slow rollers for the first time and extended his range while going after grounders.
The three-time American League Most Valuable Player was shut down after a short stint with the Dominican Republic in preparation for the World Baseball Classic this spring, and he took batting practice for the first time since the surgery last Thursday.
Alden Gonzalez is a reporter for MLB.com. This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs.

UCMR3 Water Testing
UCMR3 Water Testing Lab
Eurofins Eaton Analytical is highly qualified to help clients comply with Unregulated Contaminants Monitoruing Rule (UCMR) regulations. Eurofins Eaton Analytical provided the EPA with expert review on all of the prior UCMR regulations, beginning with UCMR1 in 2001. We also co-authored the official EPA method (314.0) for perchlorate analysis, and served on the AWWARF/EPA Chemical Contaminant List (CCL) research team that evaluated test methods for List 2 contaminants for UCMR1.
During UCMR1 and again in UCMR2, Eurofins Eaton Analytical served as a primary EPA contractor for monitoring UCMR compounds for small systems across the country. In these contracts, we analyzed over 3000 samples using a variety of methods, including 524.2, 525.2, 515.4, 314, 521, 526, 527, 528, 529, 532 and 535, with QC requirements that exceeded Federal regulations. Our experience with some of these methods dates back nearly ten years, when we performed the National Pesticide Survey for the EPA.
For UCMR2, Eurofins Eaton Analytical was the first lab in the country to submit an application package to EPA for laboratory approval. UCMR2 methods included 529 (explosives), 527 (PDBEs), 521 (nitrosamines), 525 (pesticides), and 535 (pesticide degradation products).
Our laboratory provided UCMR3 methods second lab validation to EPA, including determination of Lowest Concentration Minimum Reporting Limits data (LCMRL) for method 218.7 (hexavalent chromium), 539 (hormones), 524.3 SIM (low level volatiles) 200.8 (metals), and 300.1 (chlorate). Additionally we provided critical holding time data to EPA to support the extension of the holding time for hexavalent chromium, and acted as an official reviewer for method 218.7.
Eurofins Eaton Analytical has also evaluated the performance of method 539 under WaterRF project 4167. In April 2012, prior to publication of the final UCMR3, we received notice that we had passed the proficiency testing requirements for all compounds/methods included in UCMR3. The extensive experience that Eurofins Eaton Analytical has with the UCMR regulations and the analytical methods supports our ability to help proactively support our clients.
UCMR3 was promulgated on May 2, 2012. Eurofins Eaton Analytical has prepared a summary of the UCMR3 Rule requirements that is available upon request. Monitoring began in January, 2013, and requires the same stringent quality control and EPA approval of all participating labs, based on data packages and proficiency testing. Eurofins Eaton Analytical was the first commercial lab to be fully approved for all UCMR3 methods, based on having submitted all required demonstrations of capability and passing the first available proficiency test for all methods. We were the only commercial lab to be approved for all methods as of the date of promulgation.
Systems must participate in UCMR3 based on retail population, so even purchased water systems will need to test. In UCMR3 there will be tiered monitoring depending on system size. UCMR3 will require Assessment Monitoring (also known as List 1) for all of the following compounds in all systems serving >10,000 people.
• 6 Perfluorinated Compounds (EPA 537)
• A solvent, 1,4-dioxane (EPA 522)
• 7 VOCs (EPA 524.3 with Selected Ion Monitoring detection)
• 5 metals by ICPMS (V, Mo, Co, Cr and Sr)
• Chlorate (EPA 300.1)
• Hexavalent chromium (EPA 218.7)
Additionally, any systems serving >100,000 people, along with a subset of systems serving between 10,000 and 100,000 will need to also monitor for 7 hormones using EPA method 539. This is referred to as Screening Survey.
A special study is also planned for viruses by qPCR in sensitive groundwater settings for very small systems (<10,000). This will be paid for directly by EPA. This is referred to as Prescreen Testing.

New Delhi, July 8 (IANS) Women activists on Wednesday condemned St. Stephen's principal Valson Thampu's for "mishandling" the sexual harassment case, saying the fight for gender justice had nothing to do with the college's minority status.
The activists of Centre for Struggling Women (CSW) and other women organizations, in a statement, said his statements were "nothing but an attempt to mislead people into thinking that the growing criticism of his connivance with the accused in the case of sexual harassment involving a PhD scholar is an attack on the minority status of the college".
During a media interaction on Tuesday, Thampu had said that the controversy targeted the college since it was a top minority institution with an excellent track record.
Terming the "accusation" as "highly misplaced and misleading", the activists said: "We see this case as not just a problem of St. Stephen's College but as indicative of a larger disturbing situation across workplaces and educational institutions that creates condition for sexual harassment as well as the concealment of such harassment."
They added that the organizations pursuing the case were well aware of the issues at stake and could hardly be termed as anti-minority.
"We hence find it most unfortunate that certain well-meaning people have misunderstood the focus of the criticism tabled against principal Thampu in this matter, and hastily come to his rescue," they added.
They further said they were eager to see the judicial process unfold so that the "veracity of the complainant's account and the initiative of the protesters are vindicated".
"The establishment of the truth, we are sure that well-meaning people, who are being misled by principal Thampu, will see how they have been duped. We advise the principal of the college to desist from name calling, trivializing the matter, and to allow the judicial process to take its course," they said.
A research scholar at Delhi University had accused a chemistry professor at the college, Satish Kumar, of sexually harassing her during the course of her PhD work. She had also released a voice recording about her purported conversation with Thampu and Kumar and alleged that the principal was seeking to protect the professor while trying to dissuade her from filing a complaint.

Autumn Olive Wine
Those autumn olives we collected? Some got to be delicious jam. The rest, get crushed, fermented, and bottled. It's invasivore wine time.
My own vintage:
I made my first batches of wine while an undergraduate in Bellingham, WA. One even featured invasive blackberries. Several things intersected back in 2003 that made this a great idea: 1) A home-brew culture and store down the block, 2) A tree filled with apples and 3) a juicer I got for my birthday. I made a gallon of apple wine, about five bottles, the last of which was sipped with my soon-to-be in laws the night before the wedding in 2010. But this is an invasive species story…
Autumn Olive wine making 101
The entire process of making wine is ancient, and the details of which are well beyond what I myself have mastered. I won't presume to try to cover everything, many of you out there can probably do it better. What I do know comes from Jim and George's Home Winemaking: A Beginners Book. I'll just cover some basics steps, and let you experiment.
1) Sterilize everything. I use a 10% bleach solution, followed by lots of rinsing.
2) Get the juice, make it sweet. There many ways to do this, depending on what type of wine you are making, ranging from stomping with your feet, presses, juicers, concentrates etc.
I crushed 4.5lbs of autumn olives in a nylon bag inside a food grade plastic bucket, which acted as the primary fermenter in the next step. I added a 2.5 lbs of raw sugar dissolved in a gallon of boiling water (which was cooled before adding), and about 2 teaspoons of acid blend. I sulfated the juice overnight to kill off any bad yeast and bacteria, and added wine yeast the next morning.
3) Primary Fermentation- bubble bubble. I let the wine ferment covered in this bucket for 3 days, stirring each day.
4) Secondary Fermentation. Secondary fermentation takes the wine-juice-mash-must mixture into a large carboys to continue fermentation in an anoxic environment. Exposing wine to air turns it to vinegar, and to prevent this a gas trap is fixed to the carboy which lets CO2 out but keeps air from getting in (confused about fermentation? try this video). As the wine ferments, for several months, all the solids in the mix settle out, clarifying the wine. In the next step, we rack the wine to make, nice clear wine.
5) Racking, once, twice, thrice and beyond. Racking is the process of removing the yummy stuff, from the dregs. This usually takes several rounds.
5) Bottling. After 3-6 months, most of the sugar has been turned to alcohol. Alternatively, there was so much sugar that the alcohol content got very high high (~15-17%), that the yeast basically suffocated in their own delicious, delicious alcohol waste. In either case, fermentation is complete, the wine is clear, and it's time to bottle. I haven't gotten there yet. Stay tuned.
6) Imbibing. Pretty sure you got this covered.
