U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill is asking for answers from the Secretary of the Army following a new study into secret experiments conducted by the U.S. Army Chemical Corps in St. Louis and other communities in the 1950's and 1960's.
A sociology professor at St. Louis Community College, Lisa Martino-Taylor, this week presented research related to Cold War-era aerosol testing that the Army conducted with fluorescent particles of zinc cadmium sulfide, in order to track dispersal patterns, which were studied for the U.S. Biological Warfare Program.
"Given the nature of these experiments, it's not surprising that Missouri citizens still have questions and concerns about what exactly occurred and if there may have been any negative health effects," McCaskill said. "The National Research Council recommended that additional studies should be conducted and it's my goal to find out whether or not they were."
The project came to Congress' attention in 1994, and a study by the National Research Council on the health risks associated with exposure to the ZnCdS tests was published in 1997. Although the study did not find evidence that the Army experiments were harmful, it recommended that the Army conduct additional follow-up research. McCaskill today wrote to Army Secretary John McHugh requesting more information about whether this follow-up research was conducted and what the results revealed.
"I share and understand the renewed anxiety of members of the St. Louis communities that were exposed to the spraying of ZnCds as part of Army tests during the Cold War," McCaskill's letter reads.
The full text of McCaskill's letter appears below:
Dear Secretary McHugh:
Recent news reports in Missouri about an academic paper on potentially hazardous U.S. Army Chemical Corps tests in St. Louis and other communities in the 1950s and 1960s as part of the U.S. Biological Warfare Program have raised great concerns in the St. Louis community. The test reportedly involved the spraying of fluorescent particles of zinc cadmium sulfide (ZnCdS) in a densely populated community in St. Louis. In 1997, at the direction of Congress, the National Research Council issued a report on the health effects of human exposures to ZnCdS as a result of the Army's dispersion tests. The report found that exposure to the levels of zinc cadmium, an element of the ZnCdS compound, reported to have been sprayed during the Army's Cold War testing would not generally cause non-cancer health effects nor lung cancer. However, the Committee made the following recommendations:
The Army should conduct studies to determine whether inhaled ZnCdS breaks down into toxic cadmium compounds, which can be absorbed into the blood to produce toxicity in the lungs and other organs; this would strengthen the database needed for assessing the risk from the substance, and would eliminate the reliance on estimates of exposure to cadmium or cadmium compounds.
When the results of the research become available, they should be reviewed by experts outside the Army to determine whether the subcommittee's 1997conclusions are still valid or should be modified.
I share and understand the renewed anxiety of members of the St. Louis communities that were exposed to the spraying of ZnCdS as part of Army tests during the Cold War. The impacted communities were not informed of the tests at the time and are reasonably anxious about the long term health impacts the tests may have had on those exposed to the airborne chemicals. It is also unclear whether all documentation about how the program was carried out has been released.
I ask that your office provide me with information about the extent to which the Army implemented the recommendations of the National Research Council study. I also ask you to review whether any and all pertinent information related to the Army's Cold War-era chemical testing in St. Louis has been made public. Transparency regarding this episode is critical to providing the impacted communities final resolution. I look forward to your prompt reply.

The Trinity Tollway, Design District Up for Sale, a Dog Killer, and Jesus Christ Superstar.

Trinity Tollway Loses Another Supporter. This time it's Larry Good.
Design District Up for Sale. Well a portion of it. Lionstone Group scooped up some 30 acres in 2007. Now, they're putting their remaining properties on the market, the majority of which fall on Oak Lawn Avenue and Hi Line Drive.
Woman Arrested for Allegedly Shooting Dog. I mean, really? A bus of school children came across the bloodied dog and her 10 pups on the side of the road. What a disaster.
Jesus Christ Superstar Canceled. You mean to tell me that Johnny Rotten couldn't sell tickets? Please.

Channel 4's documentary Bi-Curious Me was a flimsy, titillating look at modern sexual mores, based on the premise that, in the narrator's words, "Never has it been so on trend to have your first lesbian experience." Needless to say, exploring this trite statement involved endless footage of pretty young women in bras and bikinis.
No amount of shimmying burlesque dancers, however, could liven up what was essentially dull television. The programme followed three women who were exploring same-sex relationships, with most of the focus on a beautiful young woman torn between a boyfriend, a girlfriend, and a life of untrammelled sexual adventure. Did she love the boyfriend? Did he love her? Would she go home with the girl in the bar? Would I stay awake long enough to find out?
Moving documentaries can be woven from the complex fibres of modern relationships – as anything from BBC Two's Wonderland series testifies – but this was not one of them. The only real stab of sympathy I felt was for a man called Andrew. Not only did his wife leave him after 22 years of marriage, but he also received a damp, gravel-filled sock to the jaw in the form of her announcement on national TV that she preferred sleeping with women to men.

The economic court of Kiev returned the land underneath the square of Heavenly hundreds in the city. About this on his page on the social network Facebook wrote the head of the Kyiv city state administration Volodymyr Bondarenko.
"Just the Economic court of Kyiv satisfied the claim of the Metropolitan Prosecutor's office in interests of the city and returned to the communal property of the square of Heavenly hundred. Cancelled the decision of city Council to lease and sell land, as well as all agreements of purchase and sale", – he wrote.
Earlier economic Court excluded the resale of the land under the square hundreds of Heaven.
Square hundreds of Heaven St. Michael's own efforts to equip local people and volunteers. Lasted for a few years the fight against the building site. In late January, the founder of the project "City-garden" Eugene Kuleba registered the petition with the request to return the square of Heavenly hundreds in the city. Then in just 48 hours the email address was collected 10 thousand signatures necessary for its consideration in the Cabinet. After that Vitali Klitschko has instructed the Director of the Department of building and housing of the KCSA, Alexander Spasibo to hold preliminary negotiations with a representative of the owner of the land on Mykhailivska street. In February, the owner of the land said that he does not refuse intentions to build in the square office center.
In summer, the square of Heavenly hundred in Kiev, received the jury prize of the international urban competition The European Prize for Urban Public Space "Special mention 2016".

I was really curious about all these cleaning companies that I see all the time on the Internet. Prior to Housekeepers London, I have always cleaned my home myself with my husband's help. Got to tell you, we were fouls! After I've already used this company I would encourage everyone else to forget about mops, brooms, cleaning chemicals, etc. Just get the phone and make yourself a favour - book a cleaner from this guys. They are easy to schedule, offer lots of cleaning services and customer care is at high level.

In an intense hour of arguments, a majority of Supreme Court justices appeared to agree yesterday that one-time accounting giant Arthur...
WASHINGTON — In an intense hour of arguments, a majority of Supreme Court justices appeared to agree yesterday that one-time accounting giant Arthur Andersen was wrongly convicted of violating a federal witness-tampering law after employees destroyed tens of thousands of documents.
Through their questions, at least five of the justices appeared to support arguments by a lawyer for Chicago-based Andersen that the company was wrongly convicted for inducing employees to destroy documents in 2001 in the weeks before it got a government subpoena for records in the accounting scandal at Enron, the failed energy-trading titan.
Justice Antonin Scalia called the government's interpretation of the federal law at issue "weird" and, in an incredulous voice, asked a Justice Department lawyer: "You want criminal liability to turn on that? You want someone to go to jail?"
The government's decision to charge Andersen with witness tampering, and the firm's subsequent conviction, helped lead to the downfall of the company, once one of the leading and most respected accounting firms in the world. More than 28,000 workers lost their jobs, although many found work at other accounting firms, and today the firm has but 200 employees handling lawsuits after the firm's virtual demise.

Justice Anthony Kennedy said that to uphold Andersen's conviction could have far-ranging effects on "every major corporation or small business in this country," because most have policies similar to those of Andersen on document destruction and retention.
Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, David Souter and Stephen Breyer also suggested that they saw serious problems with Andersen's conviction, though each offered different reasons.
Under tough and pointed questioning, Justice Department lawyer Michael Dreeben insisted that Andersen in October 2001 illegally told employees to begin shredding the documents to hide possible wrongdoing, "not because it was preoccupied with neatness." It knew government investigators would need the materials for upcoming investigations, he said.
"No other company in the country would do this," Dreeben said of the document destruction. "This is an extraordinary case."
But Maureen Mahoney, Andersen's lawyer, argued yesterday that Andersen had done nothing wrong and that the government's interpretation of the law could make common corporate conduct a crime.
Most companies have policies similar to Andersen's on destroying and retaining documents, she argued. Those companies also could be found guilty for failing to retain documents if they were subjected to a government investigation in the future, she noted in court papers.
Andersen was convicted in June 2002 of witness tampering after a jury found that lawyers for the company "corruptly" persuaded employees to destroy documents that could be relevant to a looming investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
But Mahoney argued that had the jury been properly instructed on the law, it never would have convicted Andersen.
She argued that the lawyers did nothing wrong and did not "corruptly" persuade employees to destroy documents when they reminded them of the firm's long-standing document retention policy. The policy called for employees to retain final memos and documents and destroy drafts and notes.
To "corruptly" persuade, Mahoney argued, the company would have had to induce employees to violate the law or to offer bribes. The company did not do that, she said. It is not illegal obstruction of justice for an employee to destroy documents before an official proceeding is under way, she said.
In Andersen's case, no official proceeding had begun when employees were shredding documents, only an informal SEC staff investigation. When the firm received a subpoena from the SEC for records related to its audits of Enron, it stopped destroying documents, Mahoney said.
The case against Andersen began in 2001, when Enron's problems and accounting irregularities started becoming public. The giant energy-trading company was Andersen's largest client and relied on the firm for auditing, accounting and consulting advice. In October that year, Enron got a letter from the SEC informing it that the agency had begun an informal investigation.
That month, lawyers for Andersen began reminding employees of the firm's document retention policy. Employees then shredded the massive amounts of documents.

Congress imposed President's Rule more than 100 times: Kiren Rijiju
New Delhi: Amidst the ongoing row over President's Rule in Arunachal Pradesh, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has alleged that Congress was responsible for imposition of central rule more than 100 times in various states on "flimsy grounds".

"President Rule is imposed only in a special case. Congress Party had imposed PR more than 100 times on flimsy grounds, including Arunachal Pradesh in the past," he said in a Facebook post after Central rule was imposed in the border state. Rijiju said Congress must apologise to the people of Arunachal Pradesh for failing to remain as united, corruption free and accountable to the people.
He added, "The more Congress tries to blame others by hiding their gross failure the more they will be exposed as they are the only party who ruled Arunachal for more then 40 years.
Ex-CM files fresh plea in apex court
Former Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Nabam Tuki yesterday filed a fresh petition in the Supreme Court challenging the promulgation of President's rule. The plea is likely to be taken up for hearing on Monday.

After spending the last several years living, performing and thriving in the greater Los Angeles, CA area, punk-influenced French-American rock band SINNER SINNERS – founded by husband and wife duo Sam and Steve Thill – have incontrovertibly found their groove. After marching their way onto the national scene in 2014 with the release of their raucous, aggressive Nic Jodoin-produced (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club) second full-length, XI, SINNER SINNERS return in 2017 with Optimism Disorder – an auditory Molotov cocktail exploding with the intensity of early '80s hardcore fused with an incendiary '70s goth punk ethos.
Further exploring the remote reaches of their experimental skillset, Optimism Disorder is set lyrically in front of a sunny backdrop of societal hypocrisy. The 11-track album grabs you by the neck with the swinging new track, "California".
We were lucky enough to be able to interview Steve with Sinner, Sinners. Please check out the interview below. And check out their music. Head over to their website at www.sinnersinners.com to find all their news, merch, and links to their social media sites. Let's show them some love.
1. Where did the name Sinner Sinners come from?
When we started out we had a song called Sinner Sinners, it's kind of a tribute to Damned Damned Damned which is one of our favorite records. It also worked with our initials Sam and Steve. And more obviously since we don't believe in any divinities and a lot of our songs are about this, it most likely makes us sinners to religious people.
2. I read that you both met in junior high. Were you both already into music at that point?
We were 15 years old and we were already going to lots of shows and spending a lot of time at the local record store, butI was just starting to learn guitar, it came a lot later.
3. What was it that made you decide music is the path that you wanted to follow in life?
The city we were living in when we started out was somewhat of a big hub for music, we were going to a lot of shows and somehow all of our friends and everyone we knew were in bands . In a small town of the french country side there's really not much to do but play music, so it came naturally and it kept us out of trouble.
4. If you weren't in the music business, what career path would you have followed?
Honestly that's not something we ever thought about, we never really had a plan B, if we didn't have a band we'd probably be working in a venue or something related to music anyway.
5. When it come to writing music, it is a continuous process, or do you set aside time to write new material?
It's a pretty long and lonely process. I write all the songs, so I usually start by a guitar or bass riff, demo stuff at home and tweak it for months. It takes me a while to write all the parts because I try as much as possible to harmonize everything, both guitars, the bass, the keys and the vocal melody…coming back to the same song sometime 50 times, some of these songs took me years to complete and I dumped well over 40 songs ideas in the process.
6. How would you describe the new album "Optimism Disorder" to people?
It's a mix of all the kinds of music we are into, it's influenced by 60s garage rock, early glam, psychedelia, soul, hardcore, early punk rock…It was written and recorded during a very hard time in our lives, writing and recording worked as an escape and kind of a therapy for us and even though it sounds very dark, it was made with a lot of love.
To put it in situation, let's say you're having a party, it's the end of the night, you want everyone to leave but you don't own Pornography by the Cure, put on Optimism Disorder, problem solved. Also, we guarantee it will ruin your day in just 30mn.
7. I saw you are heading to Europe to tour in a couple weeks. Do you have any plans for a tour in the U.S.?
Absolutely we are trying everything we can to tour the U.S. We really want to be able to stop in every state, we're crossing all the fingers we have and hope we can make it happen this year.
8. How do you go about choosing the musicians that you play with? Do you use the same ones each time?
Usually it's because we're friends or friends of friends. We try as much as we can to bring in people from different musical background together, if we're gonna play some punk rock, we want to be sure that no one in the band comes from a punk rock background, if that makes sense.
The format of the band can be confusing because Sinner Sinners is actually two separate entities.
First there is the recordings, it starts with us two as a duo. We record all the guitars, bass, vocals, keys by ourselves and then we bring in friends to feature on the record, different drummers, guitarists, etc…
The other is the live band, which is what matters the most to us. There, we do try to have a constant line up but we did have different band members over the years mostly because we've relocated to Los Angeles and because being in a band is very time consuming and costly. Since we all have day jobs, sometimes the band schedule doesn't work for everyone. Luckily, due to this band format there's always been an understanding that if someone wants out, the band will keep going and even though it's always sad to see someone go It's always been pretty drama free, all of our past band members have all invested a lot of time in this band and it means a lot to us, and the most important is that we're still all good friends.
9. Please tell us where we can pick up the new album, and can it be pre-ordered?
It will be available on all the digital stores you can think of, itunes, google play, amazon… and available on limited edition colored vinyl via Last Hurrah records here:

REVIEW SNAPSHOT®by PowerReviews

Comments about Canon FAXPHONE L190 Laser Fax Machine:
In service for 4 years and not a single problem. It has been totally neglected and performing solidly in our small business environment. I am happy to see that it is still in production. Great product.
Comments about Canon FAXPHONE L190 Laser Fax Machine:
Get used to faxing printed side up, not down like 99% of other fax machines. The machine will only redial twice before spitting out a "fax failed" paper. This is even if you specify the maximum redials of 5. Every copy takes twice as long because the machine does a double side routine even if you are only copying one page. If you stop a fax midway for any reason the machine feels compelled to spit out a paper telling you "fax error" I waste more paper with this thing than it saves. Dual sided printing is one nice feature. On the whole I would not recommend this.
Best Uses
Comments about Canon FAXPHONE L190 Laser Fax Machine:
I've been using this Faxphone L190 for over a year and it is very reliable. It prints quickly as my main pc printer, is a backup for our larger copy machine when it is in use, and delivers good quality prints - including double sided printing. A little slow if you are faxing, but a lot faster than some similarly priced fax machines out there - adjusting the settings to your needs can help speed up a lot of the functions. Good toner yield as well. Great for the price and the needs of our office. I do wish there was a feature built in to interface the fax to my pc so I can preview possible junk faxes without having to print them and waste paper... but for the price and functionality, it's not so big of a deal.
Comments about Canon FAXPHONE L190 Laser Fax Machine:
Machine is noisy when faxing seems to go through a lot of "mechanics" before it takes in the paper. Not user friendly, to many steps to just get a report that the fax went through. The proof of sending faxes report is hard to read, prints out on 2 separate lines you need a ruler to follow the lines.
Help others make the right choice.

Good Grief by Lolly Winston
Warner Books, 2004
This book reaffirmed why Lolly Winston is one of my favorite authors. I read her second book first (Happiness Sold Separately, my review is here). And read this one, her debut, second. In both books her writing style takes center stage, and her storytelling gets fumbled up at the end. But it's not done so poorly as to take away from your joy of the overall reading experience. Both books are kind of inconclusive at the end, meaning, they don't feel like endings. The story just... ceases, mid-thought.
As I said, however, Winston's writing style is what shines. The wording, the comparisons, the deep reflection, the unique view of the main character... it all tugs you along until suddenly you realize you're nearing the final page. I could read her fiction forever.
But the book has no plot to speak of. The story is all about Sophie's changes and progress through the trials of being a young, childless widow. She goes through the normal phases, starting with denial. Then eats her way through depression, loses her job, relocates, joins the Big Brothers & Sisters program and gets a motherly attachment to her assigned "Little Sister", goes from a stumbling waitress to nearly head chef at a restaurant then risks everything to start her own bakery, etc, etc, etc. And at some point she finds love, loses it, finds it again, but still isn't quite sure how she feels about the new guy at the end.
So the reader simply follows Sophie on this wayward journey, hoping she's somehow better off when it's all said and done. I'm not sure she is, though. But that didn't really bother me because that's how life is, so it seemed realistic in its portrayal.
The strong points of this novel are most certainly in the details. I gave it 5 out of 5 stars. And it's no wonder it was a NYT bestseller and a #1 BookSense pick in March/April 2004 (the copy I read includes a reading group guide). I would definitely read this again.

I recently read another very positive review of this book. I'd steered away from it because the subject matter didn't seem like my cup of tea, but if the writing is this good then maybe I'll rethink.

Mets owner Fred Wilpon, the man who lavished a four-year contract worth $60 million on Curtis Granderson, cozied up to the struggling slugger behind the batting cage before Wednesday night's game against the Cardinals. Talk about bringing out the heavy artillery: The Mets will try almost anything to get Granderson going at the plate.
But manager Terry Collins cautioned that he doesn't want to do anything too radical. Granderson finally broke his career-worst 0-for-22 slump with one hit in last night's game.
"What we've tried to do is get as much tape and film as we can and try to compare what's going on now to the past so we have an idea maybe when he's coming out of it," Collins said. "I think you can use the video, but I don't want to start changing somebody. You start tinkering a little bit, and you can really mess him up. I try to make sure we don't get too carried away with the mechanical side. They made a couple tweaks to get him back closer to where he was with the Yankees' stance, but he's going to have to battle through it."
Keeping tabs on Black
Collins was asked if he's paying attention to reliever Vic Black with Triple-A Las Vegas. "We're keeping tabs on him," the manager said. "I look at those stats every day. He hasn't given up a run yet. As of last night, he'd pitched 11 innings, no runs but 10 walks, seven strikeouts." Well, Collins got the "no runs" part right, but he was a little off on the other stats. In 71/3 innings, Black has recorded eight strikeouts and seven walks through Tuesday's games.
Extra bases
According to Elias Sports Bureau, Cardinals starter Michael Wacha is the fourth pitcher since 1900 to strike out 10 or more batters in 4.0 or fewer innings. The first was Smokey Joe Wood for Boston in 1909, but Seattle's Felix Hernandez did it last year, and Cleveland's Danny Salazar did it earlier this season.
. . . Collins rested Eric Young against Cards' Michael Wacha even though Young had reached base safely in 17 straight games. Kirk Nieuwenhuis started and played centerfield. "I wanted to get 'Neiuy' into a game, and I want to get Bobby [Abreu] into a game this week," Collins said.
. . . A scoring change took away a hit from Daniel Murphy in an April 19 game against the Braves, calling it an error.

This past weekend our staff had the pleasure of attending the James Beard Foundation's annual Food Conference. One session that had a particularly high impact on us was Bolthouse Farms' President Jeff Dunn's conversation with author Raj Patel about marketing healthy foods.
For those who don't know, Jeff Dunn famously left a position as President of Coca-Cola to pursue his passion for promoting healthy foods. After taking the reins at Bolthouse Farms, Mr. Dunn sent shock waves through the food industry by branding baby carrots as junk food in order to appeal to young consumers.
During the talk, Mr. Dunn spoke passionately about leveling the playing field to give healthy foods a chance to compete for consumers' attention, through creative branding techniques. At PlantBased Solutions, we are highly motivated by Mr. Dunn's example and aim to show consumers how delicious, affordable, and exciting, plant-based foods can be through similarly innovative branding and marketing techniques.

If you've been running Windows 8, you've probably upgraded to Windows 8.1. This, strangely, required that you go to the Microsoft App Store to download and install the free upgrade. Newer notebooks, like my new one ( My New Windows 8.1 Notebook Computer ) come with Windows 8.1 already installed.
Microsoft still supports Windows 8, if you haven't upgraded to Windows 8.1, at least for now. They have not required that Windows 8 users upgrade to Windows 8.1.
However, if you've upgraded to Windows 8.1, there is now an urgent deadline. Just like the cutoff of support for Windows XP, Microsoft has done virtually the same thing for Windows 8.1.
If you are running Win8.1, you have to download and install the huge update called "Windows 8.1 Update."
It's not optional. In order to get the new security fixes and bug fixes for Windows 8.1, as of the May 2014 "Patch Day" (the second Tuesday of the month), you have to be running Windows 8.1 Update.
It is available by running the usual Microsoft Updates program. If you have Microsoft Updates set to automqatic, it should show up automatically.
If you manually run Windows Update, you may have to run it a number of times to get all the pre-requisite updates — this isn't a Service Pack, which normally includes a roll-up of patches to date.
Windows 8.1 Update may take a long time to download, depending on your connection. If you're running a 64-bit version of Windows 8.1 (most computers are!), this update is almost 900MB. It's much smaller if you're running the 32-bit version of Widows 8.1.
So, why should you do the Window's 8.1 Update?
Number 1 — Security. If you don't, you've blocked from all new patches and updates.
Number 2 — Enhancements. If you're using a mouse instead of a touchscreen, Windows 8.1 Update is made to be more mouse-friendly than Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. That's true in both the Desktop mode (which I prefer) and the Tiled mode (which you can't avoid).
Number 3 — Updates. If you don't get Windows 8.1 Update, your Windows 8.1 system won't get future security fixes, enhancements, and bug fixes.
The most significant change, for those without a touchscreen, is that Windows 8.1 Update will boot directly into the Desktop, not the Tiled Interface. Much better. You can set Windows to boot directly to the Desktop, rather than the default Tiled interface.
Tech Tip
Once called the Metro interface, then the Modern interface, Microsoft's current term is the "Start screen". I like "Tiled interface," as it's more definitive.
One new feature that will get a lot of use is a mouse-enabled display of the Charms bar on the right-hand side of the screen. Hover the mouse in the top right-hand corner, and you'll see a temporary, transparent display of the Charms Bar on top of the corresponding section of the Desktop. The Charms bar has the items — Search, Share, Start, Devices and Settings.
The update added a Power button and a Search button to the Tiled interface.
The Power button will save some steps, unless you're in Desktop mode. For that, the easy fix is to create a Shutdown icon and a Restart icon. Instructions for Windows 7 are in my article Creating Shutdown and Reboot Icons in Windows 7 — and the Windows 8/8.1 process is the same.
The Search button, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have much value. After all, if you're on the Start/Tiled interface, just start typing. That automatically starts the smart-Search function.
The Task bar is now displayed in the Tiled interface, if you hover at the bottom of the screen. If you use a mouse to start an app, some apps will display a minimize button and a close button on their top line. For others, you have to move to the top of the screen and hover or click.
If you're in Desktop mode, the left-most item in the Task bar is not the classic Start menu. It's a windows-looking button that takes you to the newly named Start screen (formerly the Metro interface and then called the Modern interface). Although we have to be able to get there, I'd really prefer a classic Windows Start Menu.
I know I can get any of a number of add-on Start menus, like Stardock's Start8, but I'm trying to work with Windows 8.1 as it was intended to be used — at least for a while. Start8 looks to be my choice for an add-on Start menu. I first used their products back in my old Apple //gs days.
The other significant user-interface change is the return of the right-click option menu. That now works on the tiles on the Start screen's (Tile interface's) tiles.
But, whether you want the new enhancements or not, remember that the Windows 8.1 Update is a mandatory update if you're using Windows 8.1.
Until you do it, you won't be able to get any new updates.

This game is pretty awesome. I like the fact that the art is joyful and pleasing to ma eyes unlike some art. The music has a perfect tune to fit the game i overall had a wonderful time playing this game. But i have one question, does the nyan cat even serve a purpose? lol
Thank you! Nyan cat is just floating to and fro minding his own business and throwing a few things here and there!

Pretty cool game would have been better with music but i like the atmosphere of the game and the idea aswell
Hey TheSimplePancake.

27 Jun Becker Animal Hospital visited by Job Adventures Students
Your local San Antonio veterinarians and staff at Becker Animal Hospital were recently visited by a group of recent graduates from Job Adventures, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to helping youth and young adults with disabilities find meaningful and gainful employment.
On the tour students were shown that working at an emergency vet and pet boarding facility is much different from that of other working environments, because the inventory was live and needed to be cared for like they were part of their own family.
Students on the tour were shown the differences between working at an emergency vet and boarding facility in comparison to other working environments. The most notable distinction was that the 'inventory' was live and needed to be cared for like a member of the worker's own family.
According to Ronee Ross, director of the Pet Resort and tour guide for the students, the group was very enthusiastic about the idea of working with a variety of pets, and "the visit seemed really special to them."
As they explored the facility the Job Adventures students interacted with the various staff members, including the Kennel Technicians, who showed how important it is to keep pets in a clean and therefore safe environment at all times so that they remain healthy.
Ross stated that the students were "quite impressed that the dogs could all play together" in the doggy daycare center. She then explained to them that: "the reason doggy daycare works is due to the fact that all the dogs are spayed or neutered, and are especially accepted because they are social with other pets and people, are not possessive of their toys, and that they felt no need to be protective of their space." The students were amazed and thought the idea of so many dogs playing together was a great—but wild—concept.
The entire BAH team was very happy to give a glimpse of what goes on in the facility on a daily basis, and positively contribute to the students' experience. Lots of introductions were made, questions answered, and hugs exchanged but one thing is for certain: everyone had a great time.

O2 is taking legal action against two south Wales based companies for falsely representing themselves as O2 in attempts to sell insurance.
Eazyconnect and Shieldmp3 are being pursued by O2 on grounds of 'passing off'. This comes almost a year after the network prosecuted Landmark and Communications Direct – also from south Wales – for 'slamming'.
Slamming is where companies claim to be a company and try and sell customers contracts.
The allegations against Eazyconnect and Shieldmp3 apparently surfaced when O2 customers called the operator after repeated calls.
Calls were apparently being made from sales people from numbers linked to Eazyconnect and 'Coversafe', a trading name sometimes used by Eazyconnect, or from numbers linked to Shieldmp3.
O2 said it had legal undertakings from Jeff Rees, a former director of Eazyconnect Limited; and Richard Thorpe, a director of Shieldmp3.
The announcement from O2 comes on the same day as Ofcom issued new proposals on mis-selling.

BUENOS AIRES, June 6 (Reuters) - Argentine President Cristina Fernandez has a comfortable lead in opinion polls less than five months before the presidential election in October and looks ready to announce her candidacy in late June.
Under a new law that sets primary elections for August, politicians have until June 25 to register as candidates.
The field of opposition contenders is taking shape as the deadline nears. Several high-profile challengers, including Buenos Aires Mayor Mauricio Macri and Vice President Julio Cobos, quit the race in recent weeks as others fine-tune their electoral alliances. [ID:nN065085]
Fernandez is expected to keep voters and allies guessing until the last minute over whether she will seek a second term. [ID:nN30241693] [ID:nN31293918]
Here are profiles of the main potential presidential candidates:
Fernandez's approval ratings are running at about 50 percent, their highest since she was elected in 2007 to succeed her husband Nestor Kirchner as president. Kirchner's death late last year boosted her popularity, which was already recovering due to robust economic growth and the opposition's disarray.
Numerous polls suggest she could win enough support in the Oct. 23 election to avert a run-off vote, giving her a clear mandate to deepen the interventionist economic policies started by Kirchner in 2003.
Fernandez vows to intensify current social and economic policies but analysts say she could be forced to take steps to tame double-digit inflation if she is re-elected. She will likely delay any controversial reforms, such as slashing utility subsidies, until after the election.
Her choice of a running mate could provide crucial clues on the direction of a second term, especially as union boss Hugo Moyano pushes for her to include more labor figures on electoral lists. Leftist allies would likely resist any moves to increase Moyano's influence. [ID:nN22178023]
Alfonsin rose to prominence after the death two years ago of his famous father, former President Raul Alfonsin, who led Argentina between 1983 and 1989.
He is the strongest opposition contender but trails far behind Fernandez in the polls and has the Radical party's poor governing record against him. The last Radical president to finish his term was Marcelo Torcuato de Alvear in 1928 and Alfonsin's father handed over power early as spiraling prices wreaked havoc in 1989.
Alfonsin's choice of a running mate, economist and former central bank president Javier Gonzalez Fraga, could boost his economic credentials. Gonzalez Fraga shares the economic ideas of Kirchner's former Economy Minister Roberto Lavagna -- the architect of Argentina's 2005 debt restructuring.
Alfonsin tried to persuade respected Socialist governor Hermes Binner to be his running mate. But the Socialists and other small leftist parties were unhappy with Alfonsin's pact with center-right congressman Francisco De Narvaez in the key electoral district of Buenos Aires. Binner might now launch his own presidential bid, backed by the leftist parties.
Duhalde, who governed briefly as Argentina emerged from an acute economic crisis in 2001-02, was once a backer of Kirchner but they fell out and he is now a prominent figure in the dissident ranks of the ruling Peronist party.
Duhalde remains an influential figure in Peronism because of his links with powerful mayors in the working-class suburbs of Buenos Aires. Some recent polls have put him in second place ahead of Alfonsin but his support is in single digits in other surveys and he has a high rejection rating. Some analysts say he could benefit from Macri's decision to quit the race.
Duhalde is the best known dissident Peronist challenger but support from right-leaning Peronists could be split between him and Alberto Rodriguez Saa, a provincial governor. Duhalde has picked another dissident Peronist governor, Mario Das Neves, as his running mate.
Anti-corruption crusader Carrio came in second in the 2007 presidential election behind Fernandez but she has lost ground since then, hurt by a series of fights with allies and public impatience with her apocalyptic warnings of impending doom.
A lawyer from the poor northern province of Chaco, Carrio is a sharp-tongued critic of the government and has recently taken aim at union leader Moyano. One of her most prominent collaborators is former central bank chief Alfonso Prat Gay.
A pact with her estranged Radical allies or the Socialists would make sense from an ideological perspective but past disputes make deal-making unlikely. According to consultants Management & Fit, Carrio has the second-highest rejection rating among leading politicians after Duhalde.
A maverick governor and member of the dissident Peronist wing, Rodriguez Saa has dominated politics for years in his home province of San Luis with his brother Adolfo, who served as president for a week during Argentina's 2001-02 crisis.
Polls show him as an outsider but he could attract conservative Peronist votes, especially if Duhalde ends up forging an alliance with other groups.
Rodriguez Saa, an art lover and green crusader, advocates a tough line on crime and says he would work to bring down inflation, restore credibility to the statistics agency and limit state intervention in the economy, especially farming.
Binner, governor of Santa Fe province, has not said whether he will run for president but speculation has grown that he may launch his own campaign after talks broke down with Alfonsin.
An announcement could follow a June 11 party meeting.
Binner, a doctor, is the first Socialist to head a provincial government and he is well respected in the key agro-industrial province, home to the Rosario grains port.
If Binner runs, he would be supported by smaller leftist parties including the GEN, which is focused on Buenos Aires province, and the Proyecto Sur party of congressman Fernando "Pino" Solanas. He could steal votes from Alfonsin and Carrio, further denting their ability to pose a threat to Fernandez.
Without Binner, the Socialists would struggle to field a strong presidential candidate. (Editing by John O'Callaghan)

Although Apple has claimed victory over Samsung in one its longest patent legal battles, it is not getting everything it wants. US District Court Judge Lucy Koh has just denied Apple's motion seeking for a permanent injunction against 23 infringing Samsung devices.
One chapter of the legal saga between Samsung and Apple finally came to a close when the jury awarded Apple the final fraction of the damages that the Korean manufacturer will be required to pay for infringing on Apple's patents. That, however, wasn't enough for Apple who sought to have 20 of the infringing smartphones banned from sales in the US. This was despite the fact that none of these were being officially sold in the market anymore.
While it might seem strange, Apple's motion is strategic. A permanent injunction can be used as a legal precedent that Apple can then brandish on future devices as well and not just the 20 it was targeting outright. The court saw through the tactics and denied the motion. According to Judge Koh, a patent holder cannot use a patent as competitive leverage beyond the value of the patent itself. Apple just can't seek a permanent injunction for things that cant be covered by payment for damages.
That loss might not have much impact on Apple in the long run, especially since Samsung and Apple will be back in court again at the end of the month over another batch of patents. However, Apple might be a bit worried that the court stated that public interest favored Samsung, leading to the denial of the motion for a permanent injunction.

Well, I am a descendant of Alexander buried in Mt. Salem Cemetery in Deer Ridge, MO.I don't believe Deer Ridge really exists and you can find it via Monticello, MO.Wow, I don't know where to begin here.My father's grandparents were Diffendaffer's that lived there.Can you provide specific names and I will pulse my father for more information?I don't believe an Diffendaffers stayed in the area.But, I do believe you're correct in that it definitely is German, and it would not surprise me if they came from the same area as the Maurer/Mason families.Another surprise for me too.My last name was changed from Maurer to Mason in the 1700's.I lived and worked in Kansas for 25 years prior to following my job here to MO, and when I look at the names that migrated, there are many Mennonites.I knew quite a few while back there.Everyone seemed to have left that part of Europe at the end of the 30 year war and were looking for religious freedom.It's all so interesting. Have you been back to see where Alexander settled?

Chapter 9: Health Care Market. Why is the health care debate so contentious?. 1. For many, access to health care can be a life or death decision. In any event, it is critical to the well being of people. Emotions run high.

1. For many, access to health care can be a life or death decision. In any event, it is critical to the well being of people. Emotions run high.
2. There is uncertainty with regard to an individual's health. A small accident or illness can have catastrophic financial consequences.
3. The US spends approximately _________________. This has increased over time from roughly __________ Whereas spending on other "critical" categories such as housing, clothing, and food have decreased as a percentage of GDP. See graph on next page.
Emily is considering two options: Option 1: no insurance and Option 2: full insurance. Assume that Emily has a 90% chance of staying healthy and a 10% chance of getting sick.
When healthy, Emily earns an income of $50,000 and has no health care expenses. If she gets sick health expenditures cost $30,000 leaving her with $20,000 income.
Determine the actuarially fair insurance premium:
Calculate the expected value of her payoff in each scenario.
Given the ability to set premiums it seems that private markets for insurance should work without the need for government intervention. However, there is also a problem of asymmetric information in the market for health care. Emily may know her probability of getting sick based on family history, her personal medical history, stress, environmental factors, etc. However, the insurance company will not have access to similar information.
For low risk clients (1 in 10 chance of getting sick) their expected loss in income is:
For high risk clients (1 in 5 chance of getting sick) their expected loss in income is
If the firm continued to charge the $3,000 premium to all clients then they would certainly lose money.
Firm loses $15,000.
If the firm knew which clients were at high risk and which were low risk they could theoretically charge different prices. But they don't have this information.
Suppose the firm knowing its expected payout is $45,000 and wants to spread the risk by making the average premium $4,500 for each of the ten people in an effort to cover costs. Would the firm survive?

Editing's Do's and Don'ts part 1
Whew! So you made it through to that last chapter of your book and all that blood, sweat, and tears later you're now ready to submit it to a publisher. But what should it look like? What is the publisher looking for? What does the publisher NOT want to see?
1) Edit, edit, edit.
*Make shore awl typos arr gone. Don't just rely on Word's spell check feature, however. Go over each line with a fine tooth comb.
*Ensure your grammar is impeccable.
*Don't use too many contractions, ellipses…Italics, or exclamation points !!!!(most of these will get removed by your editor anyway).
*Read each sentence out loud – does it make sense?
-This is particularly important for dialogue. Do people really talk like what you've written for your character's dialogue? If you overheard someone saying that same line would it sound odd? Stuffy? Unnatural?
*Avoid "head hopping". Use scene breaks to shift point of view. While this is not necessary in all cases, for a newbie author it is often very hard to switch POV naturally without taking the reader out of the action.
*Make sure tense – most likely simple past or present – matches throughout each sentence and throughout the book. For instance, "She quickened her steps on the sidewalk as she looks over her shoulder" mixes tenses. This is a bad, bad thing. For shame!

Thank you so much for your post. I find it extremely helpful. I do have one question for you though.
What about comma's? I've had several people look at my story, one puts the commas in saying that's where they go, another take's em out and I'm confused!

Regarding commas - there are really no hard and fast rules. When my editor looked at my mss. she returned it filled with added commas, and I thought I was really good about adding them! Best thing I can say is when in doubt, go ahead and put it in. Seems like you can never get enough commas, the quirky little things! Either way, it won't make or break you but it's really hard to read text with a noticeable absence of commas.

energy, pot bills likely to move forwardThis week, the Legislature goes home for the traditional Town Meeting break. Voters and the representatives and senators they elected get a chance to speak face-to-face about pending legislation.
Two bills predicted to survive Crossover include:Senate Bill 51, mandating 90% total renewable energy by 2050 – but it will likely only survive in revised form. It will reportedly be stripped of language that would give the State enforcement power to mandate progress towards the goal. Senate Energy Chair Chris Bray said last week he will redraft the S.51 and bring it to his committee for a vote.
House Bill 170, legalization of possessing an ounce of marijuana, two mature plants, and five immature plants. At present this bill is an 8-3 "yes" in House Judiciary and a vote by March 17 is a near-certainty. At least one member of House Judiciary and some other observers worry a House-approved bill could be amended in a more Progressive Senate to resemble the commercialization bill passed in the Senate and killed in the House last year. If that happens, an override-proof veto by Gov. Phil Scott is believed to be likely.
Vermonters shouldn't expect increased intervention from a Trump Department of Justice – at least not yet. Tom Anderson, newly appointed head of the Vermont Department of Public Safety, has just returned from meetings at DOJ in Washington, DC. He said Friday he saw no indication the DOJ led by AG Jeff Sessions will depart from the 2013 Cole memo, which directs the federal law enforcement to intervene only in legalizing states that lack robust regulation.
H.394, the carbon tax study, seems less likely to survive Crossover in its current committee of jurisdiction, Natural Resources, Fish & Wildlife. However, carbon tax supporter and Energy & Technology Vice Chair Curt McCormack wants the bill referred to his committee. Co-sponsor Jim (wrong name in last week's newsletter – sorry, Jim!) Masland said last week he supports the study but not the $100,000 authorized to study it, which won't be spent "if I have anything to do with it."
Some Vermonters wonder why some legislators seem so insistent on supporting a carbon tax. Consider this 1/24/2017 quote from the blog of former NASA climatologist and climate change expert James Hansen: "The undergirding of the ultimate climate solution will be a rising carbon fee….that's the most effective way to stop foolish fossil-fuel expansion."
Animal cruelty legislation
S.12, the "Bunny Bill," to lengthen prison terms for convictions of aggravated animal cruelty, has passed the Vermont Senate. Bunny was a Barre quarterhorse slain Oct. 5 by a man with a bow and arrow. The killer has since been convicted to a six month sentence.
Thursday, dozens of Humane Society supporters visited the Statehouse to support several bills, including:
- H.325, to prohibit bestiality, a/k/a sexual contact between a human and an animal. McCormack and Clem Bissonnette (Winooski) are co-sponsors. According to Humane Society representatives, Vermont is one of only eight U.S. states still permitting bestiality. Since New Hampshire's ban last year, the closest legal state is West Virginia. Pro-bestiality websites purportedly direct practitioners from the Northeast to Vermont, H.325 supporters said. The law proposes jail terms for convictions.
- H.220 would ban trafficking of rhinoceros horn or ivory.
- H. 60 would require a study of coyote hunting in Vermont. At present coyote hunting is virtually unregulated.
Also, the Vermont Public Service Board will hold a public hearing about the proposed Vermont Yankee – NorthStar sale March 14 at 7 pm at Vernon Elementary School. The sale as proposed would add about 1,000 jobs to the area economy almost immediately and would remove in about 13 years all low-level radioactive waste from the site of the shuttered nuclear power plant. Comments about the VY/NorthStar sale, docket 8880, may be entered by the general public at the ePSB comment link.
A 65 MW, 400-acre solar farm is planned across the Connecticut River from Vermont Yankee. Ranger Solar is proposing the largest solar project in New England in the town across the Connecticut River from Vermont Yankee. The project would mean construction jobs and $500,000 in taxes for Hinsdale, which is located directly across the river from Vernon, home of Vermont Yankee.

Complaint Review: IDEAL MOVING and STORAGE

300 East 78th Street
New York, Select State/Province

IDEAL MOVING and STORAGE Mr. Jakob .Mr. Phil Ms. Jackie Cole Mr.Ariel Mr. Joe DECEPTIVE , MISLEADING, ABRASIVE, UNHELPFUL, UNPROFESSIONAL, SCARY SCAM ARTISTS New York New York, NYC
It started with a friendly, soothing phone call. Promises were made, credit card numbers were exchanged and things seemed ok.The representative, Phil, promised an exact delivery date, and a window of four hours for the actual drop off. He then asked for a $ 200,- dollar deposit. He talked about his 30 yr moving history, and the A+ rating of the company.
The next morning we called to confirm the pickup and were told their computer had made an error, the pickup was scheduled for next month!!!! (name of the person: JACOB)
That got fixed, and after some begging and pleading three movers showed up the next morning (an hour late) at our storage facility. They came with a rental truck, not with a truck bearing their logo, which seemed strange.
At the storage bins, they told us we had more stuff than they had anticipated ( even though all had been itemized before and was under 2000 lbs) and proceded to charge us several hundred dollars over the agreed and previously supposedly "binding" amount.
But it gets better!
After everything was packed half hazardly, and we carefully voiced our concerns, we were presented with several legal size papers to sign,- military style, and upon our request to read what we were going to sign treated as if we were completely off the wall.
The individual watching this at the storage facility could hardly believe her eyes and was as disturbed as we were.
However, as we needed things moved, we read and signed the bill of lading and agreed that the goods be delivered on a particular day at a particular time. At this point, three people, Phil, Jacob and Joe had assured us that our move was indeed going to take place and wld be delivered on the agreed date at the agreed time.
Two days later we called to re-confirm.
The person on the phone, supposedly another person by the name "Jacob" was extremely unpleasant, told us that; "No one ever promises a date" not to mention "A time" and that he was too busy dealing with things to look into it. A person named Jackie was going to call us.
When Jackie called, she made no attempt to resolve the issue but started pointing fingers and denying responsibility.
Since this is an out of state move, we are now unsure whether our belongings will get to our address at the originally promised time. We have reserved elevator space, booked flight tickets and are also starting a semester...
We are completely in limbo, out thousands of dollars and have no idea what is going to happen. The employes of "Ideal Movers" will not reveal the name of the actual company owner, and all the numbers listed on their Website (even the ones out of stste!) are answred by the same person! Guess who? JACOB.:((
We'd greatly appreciate any help we can get!
Someone has to stop these guys from abusing people and ripping everone off.
Thank you.

This just in from Tumblr: Is it really not clear to feminists how the 'obesity epidemic' is about reasserting the right to police women's bodies? Except now, we're doing it for your health! When people talk wistfully about how 'nobody cooks at home anymore' who do you think that 'nobody' used to be? When people talk about how kids don't get the same free reign of the neighborhoods they used to have, who is the unspoken monitor of all that free time?

It may be hard to choose gifts for your teen(s) during the holidays, especially as their style and personality changes from day to day. "Oh, how did you know…," followed by a mumble and a transformed smile to a frown, is a common reaction to an unwanted gift. Mummies, though you may not understand why your teen cannot just be grateful for everything in life… a breath, a moment, or even a simple smile, try to guide them to the true value and essence of life and holiday spirit– but maybe just once more, purchase a gift, as it may have been your overall intention to keep everyone happy this holiday season.
Mummies Gift List (A Guide Targeting Teenage Girls):
1. Purchase bracelets, while supporting a cause!
2. Purchase a pair of UGG boots for the holiday season!
3. Lip gloss, nail polish, and perfume… Click here!
4. Any travels coming up…or perhaps planning what next year's backpack will look like?
5. Perhaps a subscription to Seventeen Magazine…
Who said no one likes a handmade stocking stuffer, created with love? These types of gifts are my most favorite type of gifts, as they are everlasting. If you are considering making a handmade gift, here are a few websites to get your creative juices flowing:
Mummies, there is nothing like shared experiences to help you bond with your teen. Perhaps…a facial, or a mani – pedi at your favorite spa or salon, could be just the thing to seal your holiday bond!
Holiday Cheer, Mummies!
