(COOPERSTOWN, NY – Brewery Ommegang has previously won European Beer Star awards and this year Ommegang brought home a record four more. The European Beer Star competition, one of the most prestigious beer competitions in the world, is now in its ninth year. Each year brings together local, regional, national, and international breweries to compete for awards that honor the world's best brewing in the European style.
On October 12th, 2012, a panel of 100 beer experts tasted and judged 1,336 beers in 50 categories at the Doemens Academy in Munich, Germany. The awards given are for authentic, distinctive beers of impressive taste and quality that best fulfill the criteria of the particular style. The beers are evaluated on the basis of purely sensory criteria.
The awards are given on the Olympic grading scale of Gold, Silver and Bronze, and Ommegang met the criteria for at least one beer in each category. Gnomegang, made in collaboration with Brasserie Achouffe of Belgium, is a Belgian-style Triple Ale that received a Gold Award. A new Ommegang beer, XV Anniversary Ale is a Belgian-Style Dark Ale, and it won a Silver Award. Two Ommegang ales also won Bronze Awards: Abbey Ale, a Belgian-style Dubbel Ale, and Rare Vos, a Belgian-style Amber Ale.
The prizes will be awarded on November 14, 2012, in the Nuremberg Convention Center, in Nuremburg, Germany.
Brewery Ommegang opened in 1997 to craft-brew fine Belgian-style ales. The brewery creates six ales year-round as well as a range of seasonal and specialty ales. The beers have won national following by connoisseurs of fine beer and are distributed in over 40 states. The brewery is located on a 136-acre farmstead in Cooperstown, New York (656 County Highway 33) and offers free daily tours and tastings, as well as a well-stocked brewery store and café. Ommegang is open every day of the year except for Christmas Eve day, Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day, and New Year's Day. For more info, contact email@example.com, call 1-800-544-1809, or visit www.ommegang.com. Ommegang is a member of the Duvel family of fine beers.

Dir: Todd Phillips. US. 2013. 100mins
As much a thriller as a comedy, The Hangover Part III brings Todd Phillips' R-rated guys-night-out trilogy to an oddly subdued, sometimes downright dark conclusion. Loyal fans of the series, and of outrageous comedy in general, will probably still buy in, if only for a sense of closure. But even with a couple of new additions to its returning core cast Part III could be a tricky sell to casual moviegoers looking simply for good-time action and broad laughs.
Writer/director/producer Phillips supplies a handful of elaborate - though not wildly funny - comedy scenes.
A May 23 North American opening positions the sequel in the same Memorial Day holiday weekend slot that Part II occupied in summer 2011 - but this year the similarly-targeted Fast & Furious 6 will provide stiff competition for the youngish, predominantly male audience. Part III's international openings, which mostly come before the end of May, should be lucrative, though maybe not lucrative enough for the film to match the $586.8m worldwide gross of Part II, which gave the franchise its international breakthrough.
Even the early comedy scenes are on the dark side, with animal and human fatalities followed by a funeral and an 'intervention' that ends with cool Phil (Bradley Cooper), nerdy Stu (Ed Helms) and sensible Doug (Justin Bartha) escorting man-child Alan (Zack Galifianakis) to rehab.
Plans change when new character Marshall (John Goodman) kidnaps Doug and sends the rest of the Wolfpack on a mission to capture the first two films' notorious crazy man Mr Chow (Ken Jeong). After a brief excursion to Mexico, the boys and Mr Chow end up back in Las Vegas, setting of the original film.
Writer/director/producer Phillips supplies a handful of elaborate - though not wildly funny - comedy scenes. But he seems most interested in tying up franchise plot threads (characters from the original making brief re-appearances include Heather Graham's stripper and an older version of Baby Carlos) and expanding the roles of Mr Chow and Alan. The former turns a bit meaner in this outing and the latter gets a love interest (a cameo by Bridesmaids' Melissa McCarthy) and a happy ending.
Part III comes closest to the comic tone of its forerunners in a closing credits scene featuring a typically over-the-top sight gag.

Health Communications Inc. has announced the launch of TIPS for Concessions 3.0, an alcohol server training program specifically created for stadiums, arenas, theaters, and other concession venues.
From the press release:
ARLINGTON, Va., Jan. 9, 2013 — Health Communications, Inc. (HCI) today unveiled TIPS for Concessions 3.0, an alcohol server training and certification program tailored specifically for stadiums, arenas, theaters, concert halls, fairs, amusement parks, festivals, and other concession-type venues.
TIPS for Concessions, Version 3.0, introduces improved ways of addressing alcohol-related service concerns to concessions personnel. In addition to preventing the illegal sale of alcohol, concession employees learn how to handle individuals who have had too much and keep them from harming themselves, the property, and others. Taught by certified TIPS Trainers, TIPS for Concessions 3.0 challenges employees to evaluate and re-evaluate the way they manage their customers.
"Promoting responsible consumption in stadium or other concession environments comes with its own set of challenges and, therefore, requires a specifically designed program to address those unique challenges," remarked Adam Chafetz, President and CEO of HCI (the providers of the TIPS program). "A TIPS-trained venue decreases the likelihood of alcohol-related incidents and, in turn, provides a better fan experience."
The new version of TIPS for Concessions includes all new video scenes, improved graphics, and changes to print materials designed to enhance readability and access to specific program information. Employees and volunteers who attend the two-and-a-half-hour classroom session are able to spot underage drinkers and prevent sales to minors, recognize signs of intoxication, effectively intervene to prevent problem situations, and handle refusal situations with greater confidence.
In 30 years, HCI has certified over 3 million servers and sellers in the TIPS program. There are TIPS-certified people in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia and over 40 foreign countries. In addition to TIPS for Concessions, HCI offers programs specifically designed for restaurants, bars, hotels, convenience and grocery stores, casinos, senior citizens, and university environments. Several of HCI's programs are available in an eLearning format as well. To learn more about TIPS, visit www.gettips.com.


text: Emigrés from the British underground hip-hop scene, Wiseguys Touché and Regal made some of the most intense productions in the world of upfront big-beat techno. Releasing their material on Wall of Sound Records (also home to Propellerheads and Les Rythmes Digitales), the duo recorded a pair of albums as well as numerous EPs and singles. The duo met up while at college and connected via their mutual affinities for rap and DJing. Regal, already a member of a hip-hop collective known as Direct Current, invited Touché to join. The pair began recording on their own as well and after leaving Direct Current in 1992, released tracks on Blackmarket International including the Wiseguys' debut, 1994's Ladies Say Ow! EP. Wall of Sound released the duo's first album Executive Suite in 1996. After Regal left for other projects, Touché released the quasi-solo album The Antidote. The single "Ooh La La" became a huge breakbeat party anthem, sampled by movie soundtracks, cable channels and sports stadiums around the world. ~ John Bush

The Charles Wagley Papers Digital Collection documents anthropological field work in the cultures of Latin America, especially Guatemala and Brazil.
Charles Wagley was born November 9, 1913 at Clarksville, Texas. He received his doctorate from Columbia University in 1941. He served as Professor of Anthropology, Franz Boas Professor of Anthropology and director of the Institute of Latin American Studies at Columbia University. He was a staff member of the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, Brazilian Field Party and held several positions, including directorships, with various programs to the Brazilian-American Public Health Service. He worked with the Guggenheim Foundation, the Social Science Research Council and was the Graduate Research Professor Emeritus of Anthropology and Latin American Studies at the University of Florida. In 1982-1983 he was named the University of Florida's Teacher/Scholar of the Year.
Dr. Wagley spent months living and doing research with the Tapirape and in 1977 published Welcome of Tears; the Tapirape Indians of Central Brazil as a result of his research. Contained in the collection are translations of Herbert Baldus' articles on the Tapirape plus transcripts of the 1941 Seminar on Culture and Personality. This seminar took place at Columbia University and was directed by Abraham Kardiner and Ralph Linten. Dr. Wagley was fresh from studying the Tapirape Indians when he took part in these discussions. During World War II, the United States government and the Brazilian public health agency, SESP, implemented health education programs in the Amazon region. Dr. Wagley supervised the publication of pamphlets and production of slide programs on public health funded by these agencies. The novelist, Dalcidio Jurandir, who collaborated with Dr. Wagley on these programs, had served as secretary to the municipal government of a small riverine community called Gurupa. Jurandir suggested that the educational materials be tried there, and consequently, Dr. Wagley and his team visited Gurupa several times. This was Dr. Wagley's first contact with the region. After the war, when Dr. Wagley was Franz Boas Professor of Anthropology at Columbia, a Brazilian colleague, Eduardo Galvao who had conducted research among the Tentehara Indians of Brazil, became Dr. Wagley's first doctoral student. In 1948, they went to Gurupa for research, accompanied by their wives, Cecilia Toxo Wagley and Clara Galvao. The four spent the months from June to September in the town. Two major works resulted: Amazon Town by Charles Wagley and The Religion of an Amazon Community by Eduardo Galvao. These books were published in Portuguese as Uma Communidade Amazonica and Santos e Visagens.
This collection contains field notes, maps, drawings, correspondence, publications, and photographs of three research projects undertaken by Dr. Charles Wagley between 1937 and 1965. The Gurupa research project field notes are available in 16mm microfilm. Please see the case file for the guide created for these materials. The earliest research project documented in the collection took place in Guatemala in 1938. Very little is known about this project and the field notes are not sorted.
The bulk of the Tapirape research took place in 1939-1940 although Dr. Wagley also returned in 1953, 1957 and 1965. Field notes for the 1939-40, 1957 and 1965 visits are a part of the collection. Information from both the Tapirape and Gurupa field notebooks has been typed onto cards that are filed by subject and keyed back to the handwritten books. The cards in both project files are arranged alphabetically by english or portuguese language subject. Within the subject areas the cards are arranged by author (in the case of Gurupa only) and then by notebook number and page. The following is the key to the author designations on the Gurupa cards:
- Charles Wagley (CW)
- Cecilia Wagley (C)
- Clara Galvao (CL)
- Eduardo Galvao (G)

Texas almost opens the door to Obamacare Medicaid exchanges
Last week, the Texas House almost opened the door to expanded Medicaid coverage via the Affordable Care Act. Fortunately, conservatives stepped up to prevent this disaster from happening. The Texas Tribune has the story:
Hours after approving the measure, the Texas House backpedaled on an amendment to the 2013-14 budget that would have opened the door to negotiations on expanding Medicaid, a key provision of federal health care reform.
"A lot of us didn't really understand what was taking place," said state Rep. Phil King, R-Weatherford, who voted in favor of the amendment earlier in the day, then joined a united House Republican delegation in voting to reconsider the measure.
Rep. Geanie Morrison, R-Victoria, who also originally voted in favor of the amendment, proposed that the House reconsider the vote. The House voted 93-54 to reconsider. Rather than have the House vote on the amendment again and likely reject it, the amendment's author, Rep. Lon Burnam, D-Fort Worth, withdrew the measure.
The amendment said that if the state were to negotiate with the Obama administration to expand eligibility, it must reach a deal that reduces uncompensated care costs, promotes the use of private insurance plans and health savings accounts, and establishes wellness, cost-sharing and pay-for-performance initiatives. It also called for creating customized benefit plans for different Medicaid populations. The Legislative Budget Board would have been charged with determining whether such a deal addresses those reforms.
The amendment itself doesn't give Texas any authority regarding supporting or opposing the expansion. However, it had support from Progress Texas and the Democratic author of the amendment, both supporters of Obamacare:
It's a step in the right direction. In the political climate we're working in, this is as good as we can get them to do," said state Rep. Lon Burnam, D-Fort Worth, the author of the amendment. "Obviously there are some members that are not enthusiastic about Obamacare, but they don't represent a district like mine.
According to Erick Erickson, the issue isn't what many fiscal conservatives feared it was – weakness on the part of Texas Governor Rick Perry. Instead, it's mostly an attempt by some in the legislature to put their imprint on future negotiations:
Several reporters and others I talked with explained that while Governor Perry is "rock solid" on the issue, his staff has sent mixed signals on the issue and Joe Straus, the squishy Speaker of the Texas House, and others were taking advantage of it.
I talked to people close to the Governor this morning and they make clear that there is no shadow between the Governor and his staff on this issue. While others may have that impression, they are adamant it is not the case.
More particularly, I'm told that from the Governor to his staff, their position is that the alternative to [M]edicaid expansion pursuant to Obamacare is freedom.
The confusion here seemingly arises in many people in and out of the Texas legislature expecting there to be some alternative to the [M]edicaid expansion in Obamacare. The Governor's position is there will be no expansion under any alternative and he will hold the line.
At first glance, this does not appear to be all that threatening a bill. Governor Perry opposes expanding Medicaid, and so the legislature's opinion on expansion guidance is an academic discussion. However, according to Texas Representative and Tea Party Caucus Advisory Board member Katrina Pierson, the threat is quite real:
Texans from all backgrounds have joined together with Texas leadership, state and federal, to protect our state solvency by refusing to expand Medicaid. The expansion of such an unsustainable program has the potential to bankrupt our state. In dental coverage alone, Texas has uncovered over $400M in Medicaid fraud and abuse in just the last few years.
This amendment, though not expanding Medicaid immediately, would have opened the door to the negotiations of expansion mirroring the Medicaid expansion in Florida under Governor Rick Scotts "exceptions." We are witnessing Republicans working with President Obama to expand Obamacare regardless of the fact that it has been outright refused by the elected body of the state and the people who put them in office to fight against it.
In the short-term, activists can breathe easy. However, the state Senate's budget has similar language in it, so Tea Party Patriots will be working with Texas activists to make sure whatever final budget bill Governor Perry signs into law stands against Obamacare absolutely.

So you'd like to gain some weight. First thing to do before looking at your diet is to speak with your GP and have your thyroid tested to make sure that there is no underlying medical reason for being underweight.
Rule number one, being underweight does not give you carte blanche to devour the desert trolley, to gain weight healthily it is imperative that you make healthy choices.
The next point is to NEVER skip a meal, you must eat three meals a day and two to three healthy snacks as well.
The key is to increase your calorie intake while still being healthy, eat extra healthy calories. Some people naturally burn up more energy so you need to make sure you eat adequate carbohydrates and fat so that your body doesn't look to burn up the protein in your body for it's energy.
So, when you're planning your meals include a complex carbohydrate like brown rice as this will convert into glucose slowly and allow your body constant energy. Also include healthy protein as this is what will increase your lean muscle mass (you don't want to gain weight if it's going to make you wobble!). Then you need to add fat so that your body has a secondary fuel source.
Simply adding a couple of Herbalife shakes a day to your daily diet will give you the recommended extra 400-500 calories a day you are looking for to gain weight healthily and steadily over time.
Before Herbalife I was verging on a size 14 dress size and had given up trying to lose weight! My husband had told me I was fat so I should go to a gym - I did, for 2 years! However I only gained weight, mainly because I ate the wrong things when I came out! I lost 25lbs* and dropped to a size 8 dress size using Herbalife products. I have maintained this incredible result for 6 years now and feel amazing!

British Go Journal No. 7. Winter 1968. Page 4.
Kaku Takagawa, 9p
WE PRESENT HERE THE first of several extracts from a translation originally published in the American Go Journal, by their kind permission.
Go can be thought of as consisting of three stages: opening (fuseki), middle-game and end-game (yose). of these the opening strategy is the one on which the best players spend the most time and this stage that the amateur finds most difficult. This is quite understandable as the middle and end-game can be studied and definite conclusions reached, while in fuseki everyone has his own ideas. One often finds the word "may" inserted into sentences - "it may be good", or "this may be possible". In this complexity lies the difficulties of fuseki, but also its added interested.
To define fuseki a little more closely we must remember that Go is a fighting game and the middle-game battle is important. Quite often it is said that fuseki is laying out of territory. This is not quite true, it is more a building of camps - a getting ready for the battle of territory, in short.
Diagram 1
Looking at Diagram 1 we see a situation where black and white have each closed two corners, and are considering plays along the sides. The points below the stars (K3, R10, etc) or any adjacent points are considered large plays. In Diagram 1 it should be noted that a large extension for white would also be a large extension for black. It therefore becomes important to decide which to occupy first. If the theory of fuseki made it impossible to vary the order of playing these then Go would be very dull. The fact is that the possibilities are so complicated that one can find endless interest experimenting.
Diagram 2
Diagram 2 illustrates the continuation from the corner closing to large placements. If white's corners were identical there would be no priority between K3 and K17, but the large corner is weaker so black plays 9. 11 extends the sphere of influence from the lower corner in the most profitable direction. 9 and 11 together form a very desirable position. They both span five points from the base so that another stone placed midway at a later time would create two local two-point spaces. White places 12 at a short distance from his base instead of playing R11, as he being menaced by 9.
If white did play R11, black would follow with O3 gaining area and severely attacking the corner. White's counter-attack at N17 is no threat to black's corner, as black can secure his position with R13. The important thing to remember here is move 12 before 13.
Diagram 3
In Diagram 3 we see a different situation where 8 has preceded the closing of both lower corners. If 7 did not respond directly to 6 White would then occupy C17, and black would lose all the advantage of 1. 8 protects 6, for if it were neglected black would counter with H17.
Black could have played 9 in the other corner – this could make a great difference, but the merits and demerits cannot be decided at once. 10 precedes 12 as a means of defence of 2, and 11 and 13 form a model joseki. 13 is very important for black, since otherwise white would play R4. The meaning of this move is so great that it equals in importance a primary placement in the corner. 14 plays at F3.
Diagram 4
Diagram 4 shows the large extensions along the left and right sides. 15 extends five points from 1-7, and threatens to occupy C6. 16 strengthens this base, and threatens in turn to invade at C12 or C13 later. If 16 were played on the lower side, the position would be too heavy and considered a misplacement of power.
17 expects 18-21. A possibility for breaking in at K3 exists, but the fact that 21 threatens white's base should be especially noted.
The exchange 22-23 is even. The moves could have been reversed, but then black might play L17 to threaten white. It would also gain a large area. 23 is the last big extension; after this comes the middle-game.
Diagram 5
In Diagram 5 note that 10 plays on the second line. This does not contradict axiom 2, since it is a necessary auxiliary move to others on the third and fourth. 12 is played at an important central point.
Up to 17, each in turn played along the side or slightly closer to the centre. 18 occupied a large placement along the upper side. If white did not play here then of course black would have on his next move. Because of this possibility white allows 19 to attack the corner. This is one of the few examples where a large placement along the side precedes the closing of a corner.
After 30, black can occupy S17, after which white would play R8. But if black plays R9, white extends with S17. This is an even choice.
Diagram 6
Extensions can be made from two to five points from a given stone. In Diagram 6, black makes a five points extension at the top; white makes a two-point extension at the right, and a four-point one at the left. The two-point extension is the strongest of all. Although all these are on the third line, often a fourth-line extension turns out to have better effects.
Diagram 7
In Diagram 7, black makes a three-point extension on the right side. On the left, 13 is a high six-point extension. (The high or low extension us determined by the situation lower-right.) 1-11 press black along the side; in this situation white must take advantage of the big wall on the left by making a large extension to the right. If he desired only a two or three-point extension he could simply make this on the first move.
Diagram 8
The idea behind an extension can either be to prevent being pincered by the opponent, or to prevent the opponent's extension. In Diagram 8, we see 1 on the left pincers (or squeezes) the white stones - white played 7 in Diagram 6 to prevent this. On the right 1 pincers black's corner stone.

Intellectual Capital, Innovation and Performance: a Systematic Review of the Literature
This article provides a systematic review of the literature on the complex relationships between intellectual capital, innovation and performance. Although these concepts are clearly intertwined, there has been so far and to the best of our knowledge, no attempt to systematically review and integrate the literature examining the relationships between them. Two main streams of literature emerge: on the one hand, some literature focuses on the economic and financial effects of intellectual capital and its components on performance and on the other hand, a small set of survey-based studies aims to delineate these effects adopting a multidimensional approach to performance. Besides these two streams, there is a wealth of literature exploring the effect of isolated element of human, structural or relational capital on performance. Nevertheless, these studies rarely refer to these concepts directly and it is therefore contended that using the concept of intellectual capital may provide interesting insights to illuminate the complex relationships between firms' resources and activities to leverage its intangible assets, innovation and performance. In doing so, it provides an intellectual capital oriented framework to capture the distinctive features of innovation at firm level and hence contributes to the scarce stream of literature focusing on better identifying and delineating innovation effects on performance.

Author: Meg Cabot
But she can't exactly tell the truth, either--not when she's juggling two boyfriends, secretly hating the high school football team everyone else worships, and trying to have the best summer ever. At least Katie has it all under control (sort of). Her biggest secret, what really happened the night Tommy Sullivan is a freak was spray-painted on the junior high gymnasium wall, is safe. That is, until Tommy comes back to town. Katie is sure he's going to ruin all her plans, and she'll do anything to hang on to her perfect existence. Even if it means telling more lies. Even if, now that Tommy's around, she's actually--truthfully--having the time of her life.
Good - This book has been used, but it is still in a clean condition. There should be no brown spots, but do expect slight yellowing or some writings on the pages.

A core is a device used in casting and molding processes to produce internal cavities.
The core is normally destroyed to get it out of the piece. They are most commonly used in sand casting but are also used in injection molding.
The dehumidification system controls the moisture level in the air, drying water based coatings using a desiccant dry air tunnel to ensure a perfect controlled drying quality.
A huge advantage of desiccant dehumidification is that the product can be dried at near room temperature, which makes parts manipulation and preparation for their casting much better. This results in space savings, shortened cycle time resulting in greater flexibility in production.
The energy consumption is also much lower than other heating based techniques. Maintenance is simplified and is limited to replacement of all filters.
By controlling the foundry ambient conditions on high humidity days, the foundry does not need to manouver its pouring schedule to make castings impacted by the humidity, such as vacuum-tight castings. Munters dehumidification systems provide a consistent product, so operators can pour their parts irresepective of outdoor conditions.

Do not use this medicine if you are also taking any of the following medicines: boceprevir (Victrelis®), cobicistat-containing products (Stribild®), cyclosporine (Gengraf®, Neoral®, Sandimmune®), danazol (Danocrine®), gemfibrozil (Lopid®), nefazodone (Serzone®), telaprevir (Incivek®), certain antibiotics (such as clarithromycin, erythromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole, telithromycin, voriconazole, Nizoral®), or medicines to treat HIV/AIDS (such as atazanavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, tipranavir, Crixivan®, Kaletra®, Lexiva®, Norvir®, Prezista®, Reyataz®). Using these medicines together with sitagliptin and simvastatin combination may increase your risk of muscle injury and could result in kidney problems.
Chinese patients who are taking large amounts of niacin (greater than or equal to 1 gram or 1000 milligrams per day) together with this medicine may have an increased risk for muscle injury. Talk to your doctor if you are Chinese or have Chinese ancestry and take large amounts of niacin (Niacor®, Niaspan®). You may need a different dose of this medicine.
Call your doctor right away if you have unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially if you also have unusual tiredness or a fever. These could be symptoms of serious muscle problems, such as myopathy or immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM). Myopathy is more common when high doses of simvastatin (eg, 80 milligrams) are used, but some people get myopathy with lower doses.
Call your doctor right away if you have dark-colored urine, diarrhea, a fever, muscle cramps or spasms, muscle pain or stiffness, or unusual tiredness or weakness. These could be symptoms of a serious muscle problem called rhabdomyolysis, which can cause kidney problems.
Call your doctor right away if you have dark-colored urine, a general feeling of tiredness or weakness, a headache, light-colored stools, loss of appetite, stomach pain, upper right stomach pain, vomiting, weight loss, or yellow eyes or skin. These could be symptoms of liver damage.
Tell your doctor right away if you have sudden and severe stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, or lightheadedness. These may be symptoms of pancreatitis (swelling and inflammation of the pancreas).
This medicine may cause serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, angioedema, or certain skin conditions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome). These reactions can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Call your doctor right away if you have a rash, itching, blistering, peeling, or loosening of the skin, fever or chills, trouble breathing or swallowing, or any swelling of your hands, face, mouth, or throat while you are using this medicine.
This medicine may cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Low blood sugar can also occur if you delay or miss a meal or snack, exercise more than usual, drink alcohol, cannot eat because of nausea or vomiting, take certain medicines, or take sitagliptin with another type of diabetes medicine (eg, insulin, glimepiride, metformin, or pioglitazone). Symptoms of low blood sugar must be treated before they cause you to pass out (unconsciousness). People feel different symptoms with low blood sugar. It is important that you learn which symptoms you usually have so you can treat it quickly.
Symptoms of low blood sugar include anxiety, behavior changes similar to being drunk, blurred vision, cold sweats, confusion, cool, pale skin, difficulty with thinking, drowsiness, excessive hunger, a fast heartbeat, headaches that continue, nausea, nervousness, nightmares, restless sleep, shakiness, slurred speech, or unusual tiredness or weakness.
If symptoms of low blood sugar occur, check your blood sugar level. If you have low blood sugar, eat glucose tablets or gel, corn syrup, honey, or sugar cubes, or drink fruit juice, non-diet soft drinks, or sugar dissolved in water. Glucagon is a medicine that is used in emergency situations when severe symptoms, such as seizures (convulsions) or unconsciousness occur. Have a glucagon kit available, along with a syringe and needle, and know how to use it. The members of your family should also know how to use glucagon.
There may be a time when you need emergency help for a problem caused by your diabetes. You need to be prepared for these emergencies. It is a good idea to wear a medical identification (ID) bracelet or neck chain at all times. Also, carry an ID card in your wallet or purse that says you have diabetes with a list of all your medicines.
Make sure any doctor or dentist who treats you knows that you are using this medicine. You may need to stop using this medicine if you have major surgery, a major injury, or you develop other serious health problems.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.

So, the first significant item of news is that Enjay has rejoined the band, and has resumed his role as keyboard player and singer. Oh, wait. That's a different Enjay. Relevant analogy though, as Enjay has been solving problems related to Paranoiac with an enthusiasm and cleverness that has eluded me. Among the goodies that you can expect to see in the game, courtesy of the EnjayMeister are the following:
1. SUVs that can be blown up. Very cool shattering glass/flying shards effects, explosions, sparks, smoke, and sounds. [I just caution you not to try it with a crowbar.] This means, that we have another interactive model in the game, and one with game-play implications.
2. An Osprey transport helicopter that can be blown up. The same very cool effects as those for the SUV. This is more for cut-scenes, and will not be used for in-game destruction, alas.
3. Many other subtle improvements.
The beta-testing is coming to a close, and with the help of Eruanna, Gez, Kappes Buur, The Ultimate DooMer, and Graf Zahl we are putting the spit and polish into what you have come to expect from The Persecution Complex. And Ed the Bat has been introducing co-op play into the game.
Who Doesn't Like Blowing Things Up, Eh?

Take Advice From My Exorcist
That said...
So, Griffin is getting a new teacher. One week before school began, Griffin's Kindergarten teacher mentioned the possibility of getting a new teacher. Their numbers were high, about 18 in each class. By the first day it was 24 and 23. Word came yesterday that the school is definitely hiring a new teacher and all the half-day kids (which includes Griffin) is going to the new class.
Upon hearing that news, I decided to email the principal last night. I went into great details about the HOSPITAL VISITS and the BLEEDING OUT THE ASS and DUNCHA FUCK WITH MAH BAYBEE. But, you know, with better grammer and spelling.
Even though Griffin had a good yesterday (and I'll be damned if he doesn't LOVE school and scream when I mention home schooling), I'm concerned about all the different teachers he sees in a day. And I don't know why everything seems to be food-related there, but it's rather ridiculous. And not having a policy of letting every teacher he visits know about the allergies is even more ridiculous.
Word came today after school that a new teacher begins tomorrow. :: blink, blink:: Tomorrow. Additionally, the new teacher is going to be a long-term substitute until a full time replacement comes.
So this means that I have to teach at least two more teachers about all this shit. Oh my fuck.
The principal emailed me back today and it was very good I had alerted him to this issue. He wasn't aware of any Kindergarteners with allergies other than peanuts.
So... we now have a new plan of action. With the principal. Who swears all the insanity is gonna stop now.
Meanwhile, meet my new best friend:
22 comments:
I think I'd like to spend some time with your best friend too. And I hope that things get better now that the principal is involved. Your first kindergarten teacher sounds like a dim bulb... I hope you have better luck next time!

Good thing you let the principal in on all the craziness. That way no one can play dumb later, and um, you are saving all these emails, right? you know, just in case...

I'm not sure if it works the same in your state, but our schools get funded based on how many kids go there.
They do the official count on the first picture day here.
If you want any leverage at all with the principal (like threatening to change schools) make sure you have regular talks before that day. After that, if you leave, they'd be happy because they'd already have this years money and one less kid.

I think Griffin needs an emergency shirt to wear. Like an emergency bracelet, but in shirt style (large enough to accomodate all the rules). He should wear it every day for the first month of school.

good for you. glad you went to the top. if your principal is worth shit this should all be taken care of now. be active. be involved. drink lotsa rum.

Man...take a sweet drink of your new best friend for me too! Give her kisses and whisper sweet nothings into her ear...Take a bottle and bribe the new interim teacher. The boy is not going to know what to do when everything is stabilized...

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh the fun. Hey - I think your best friend knows my best friend Jose Cuervo!

As difficult as teachers can be, (I am a first grade teacher) we do want to please you and your child. Keep communicating your son's and your needs to the school and eventually you will be heard. Just remember that you may need to raise your voice or repeat your words once in a while.
Keep with it, your son is totally worth it! Have a couple of drinks for me!
- Wednesday, August 22, 2007
Definitely hoping it all improves now that the principal is involved. And you know, it is going to become old hat to you educating his teachers - you'll have to do it every year anyway, right? I sort of see it as a good thing that you are personally going to be the one telling them all, because then you personally know what has been said and that nothing has been missed. That being said, I know it isn't easy. Just it's a good thing Griffin has you :)

Been away for a wek, Man...so much to catch up on...you have been through S**** this week. I can so relate to the new teacher thing, my oldest has had a new 'not quite' qualified teacher all the way though his school except from his reception year, that a new one ever year, as a child with a hearing problem it has been painful, lots of visits into school...Hope he takes to her.

They did that to my son last year in first grade - let him get going for 3 months with one teacher and then moved him to a new room because they hired an additional teacher. It SUCKED!!! I'm hoping on every level that it will work out better for Griffin (and you!). And I wanted to comment about yesterday's post about the allergies and stupid teachers, but, well, I couldn't think of anything appropriate but "dumbasses". Hang in there!!!
- Thursday, August 23, 2007
I saw a tshirt once that said "Don't feed my anything. I have allergies."
Our day care makes sure to ask every single time if Cale has any allergies. And we live in such a small community. I would think there would be someone there who understood! I hope the new teacher understands. maybe a few of those allergy pictures you show us are necessary to get the point across! Poor Griffin.

And ditto what Lera said.

this is sounding better - hope it all gets resolved and griffin (and you) can have a good year. in the meantime, enjoy your new best friend.

Two guys with semiautomatic firearms were hellbent on breaking street for Call of Duty: Black Ops, sticking up a Baltimore-area GameStop and looting it of 100 copies of the game, due out Tuesday.
The Harford County, Md. sheriff's office said the heist happened Saturday evening, and the robbers waited until closing time to hold up the GameStop in the Festival at Bel Air shopping center in Bel Air, about 30 miles northeast of Baltimore.
Deputies said two customers stopped by the store mid-robbery and were forced at gunpoint into a storage area. Neither they nor employees were hurt. The robbers might also be behind an Oct. 21 holdup at GameStop's nearby Aberdeen, Md. location.
A sheriff's office spokesman asked locals to call them if they're offered a copy of the game before Tuesday's release date. A quick scour of Craigslist in that area turned up no such offers.
That brilliant 'shop was done simultaneously by readers Amoliski and Yashinu.

Rick Santorum: Transcript of ABC/Yahoo News Exclusive Interview
Nov. 8, 2011 -- JOHN BERMAN: Hi, there, I'm John Berman in Manchester, New Hampshire. And we are live for a series on ABCNews.com and Yahoo News. It's an original series called Newsmakers. And I'm here with the former senator from the State of Pennsylvania, Rick Santorum, running for president. Thank you for joining us, and we'll jump right into the questions, Senator.
RICK SANTORUM: Thank you.
JOHN BERMAN: Senator, when did you know you wanted to be president of the United States?
RICK SANTORUM: Hah-- well, know-- I-- I guess I would say-- it was a process. I-- when I was going through this process, people would ask me, "Are you running?" I would say, "No, I'm walking." 'Cause I felt like I was just sort of walking down the path, trying to discern whether this is really something I wanted to-- to do. And-- and just, you know, Karen, my wife and I, the kids, we prayed a lot about it, we thought a lot about it, and-- and really felt that, you know, this was a very critical time in our country's history and that-- as a good father, a good husband, and as someone who is very grateful for the opportunities America gave me, my-- the son of an Italian immigrant.
So I just-- to me, America's still very fresh. And-- and in the sense of my-- of our own experience here as a family. And so I-- I just felt like I had to step forward and-- and try to-- and try to get this country back on the right track. And then I thought I had somethin' to offer to the equation. And-- was not particularly happy with-- with the choices that-- that I was looking at with respect to the other candidates. They're good people, but I felt like I brought something different to the table that-- our country needed, at this time, so I-- I-- I stepped forward.
JOHN BERMAN: Any doubts that you were the right man at the right time?
RICK SANTORUM: No, I-- I really don't have any doubts. I mean, I wouldn't be doin' this. If I thought someone else could do-- the job that-- I believe I can do and-- and be successful in winning this race, which I think-- I'm in the best position to do, I-- I would be very happy to step aside. It's not a lifelong dream of mine. This is not something that I've aspired to. And this is somethin' I feel like I need to do in-- in order to serve our country. And-- and, you know, my family and-- and the future of our-- of our nation.
JOHN BERMAN: I-- I think some people will be surprised to hear you say you think you're in the best position to win this race, because that's not what the polls show today. Why are you in the best position?
RICK SANTORUM: Well, I think I've got the-- the best track record of anybody out there. I'm-- you know, I've been someone who is-- been a strong-- consistent conservative on all the issues. Someone who-- has been unwavering. I mean, I think America's looking for someone that they can trust. Someone who's authentic. Someone who will tell it straight. Lay-- lay it on the line, whether people agree with you or not. And you can say a lot of things about-- about me, but I-- I think I have a pretty strong re-- reputation. And a reputation of taking on Democrat incumbents and being successful. No one else in this race has ever defeated a Democratic incumbent on a nation-- on a big race. And I've done it. And I've won a swing state, which is also important.
JOHN BERMAN: So if all this is true, why aren't you doing better in the polls?
RICK SANTORUM: Well, it's early. I-- I don't-- I don't worry about polls. I-- I-- you know, we're runnin' a very different campaign. You-- I mean, look at our financial reports. I mean, we're-- we're way down at the bottom. We're runnin' a campaign that's grassroots. I wouldn't run a campaign like this if I didn't think that would be the most-- if-- if-- if I didn't think there was a path to success.
JOHN BERMAN: What proof do you have that the message is catching on, though?
RICK SANTORUM: Well, last night, I was in Rochester-- New Hampshire. And we had about 90 people there at-- at a town hall meeting. It was a 912 group that asked me to come and speak to them. And-- after that-- after the hour and a half time I had with them, I would say close to 90 percent of the people in that room signed up to help our campaign.
I'm finding that in a lot of the places. 90's high, but I'm finding well over half. Every time I got to a meeting. Every time I have-- opportunity to be in front of a group, we get a huge number of people signed up and willing to help. That tells me that the people who are paying attention, the people who are actually interested, the activists, those folks who make up a big chunk of the caucus goers in Iowa and primary voters in New Hampshire. Those folks when they now have analyzed the candidates look-- are-- are saying, "Santorum's my guy."
Most of the people in these polls, I-- I think there was a Pew poll out a couple weeks ago that half the people in this country couldn't even name one of the Republican candidates for president. So the idea that somehow or another people are set on-- on who they're gonna vote for, at least we're finding in the polls we're doing and I'm-- I'm talkin' about volunteers calling voters, 75 percent of the people haven't made up their mind yet.
JOHN BERMAN: Senator, changing the subject here, I want to put you on the spot. You are an alum of-- of Penn State, 1980. A big fan of-- of Penn State football. You know, you know the (UNINTEL) theme song-- or fight song. And a big fan of Joe Paterno. What do you make of what's going on at Penn State right now?
RICK SANTORUM: I'm devastated. I mean, I just can't tell you-- how-- how troubling this is. I mean, I know Joe Paterno. I-- Joe's a friend. I mean, Joe's been a supporter of mine. And I mean, he's-- gosh, I mean, you can't find a more decent guy. And-- you know, this is-- this is tragic. And the fact that-- that he-- at some way, at some level had, you know, some-- some touch of this scandal is-- is really disturbing.
And I-- look, I-- I pray and hope that-- that, you know, that he didn't do anything that he shouldn't have done. But it's-- it doesn't-- you know, this-- it certainly looks horrible for the university, horrible for the football program, and-- and obviously, people-- should-- were fired, should be fired. And-- JOHN BERMAN: Is he one of those people? I mean, as an active alum, is-- is he someone you'd like to see pushed out the door now?
RICK SANTORUM: Well, I mean, it's-- again, I don't know all the facts and circumstances. I haven't read the indictment. I have no idea what his side of the story is. I think it's-- for me to-- after someone who's served in such distinction for all those years, to sort of jump to a quick conclusion that he should go or he should stay, I don't think that's fair to him. But it's obviously a very, very serious-- allegation against-- against the university and the people in the football program. And-- and somethin' that needs to be taken care of.
JOHN BERMAN: Will you be comfortable cheering for Penn State football this weekend?
RICK SANTORUM: Yeah, I mean, the-- the players out there and-- and-- and the university, you know, writ large is-- you know, they're my alma mater. That mean-- you know, just because there are people there who did things wrong doesn't mean the whole institution is-- is bad. And-- and certainly these kids out there on the playing field had nothin' to do with this.
So of course I'm gonna-- I'm gonna root for-- for them and-- and wish them the best. And, you know, this is somethin' obviously will be a great challenge to them, to be able to stay focused and-- and-- when all this attention's paid on-- on your program. So I-- you know, I-- I wish them the very best.
JOHN BERMAN: Back to the campaign here. You are on the Faith, Family, and Freedom Tour right now. To a certain extent, you're making these subjects the centerpiece of your campaign, or a centerpiece, why?
RICK SANTORUM: Well, I-- I talk about it in the context of-- of our country, both from the standpoint of our culture, but also the economy in-- of our country, the size and scale of government. I think it's important that we recognize that, you know-- yes, the economy is the number one issue in our country. The economy is hurting. People are out of work-- you know, we're not growing. And the-- what is growing is the size of the government and the-- and the-- and the huge amount of debt.
But and-- and I have-- put forward very clear plans on how to turn that around, b-- both from spending cuts and what we can do with the tax code, what we can do in the regulatory environment, a whole host of things. But I also say that there's an underlying problem here and that is that you can't have limited government unless you have good, strong families. That you can't have a strong economy unless families are strong and pr-- and-- and doing well.
And that means marriage and the institution of the family have to be, you know, encouraged and supported. That means we have to have people rai-- raised up in our society, who are of good character and have virtues. And-- and if we don't, if we don't have any kind of-- if we have a culture and we have an educational establishment, we have a society that does not inculcate virtue, that does not teach truth and honesty and-- and integrity and hard work, we're not gonna have a strong economy for much longer. We're not gonna have a nation for much longer.
So-- I would argue that a lot of the things that we've seen happen in our country, you know, the Wall Street-- situation, what happened on-- in the financial markets. I mean, that's-- you have-- you have a lot of folks there who did a lot of things they shouldn't have been doing. And--
JOHN BERMAN: --faith. I mean, can-- can-- you know, can you have faith and good virtue-- sorry, can you have good virtue and honesty without faith, without being religious?
RICK SANTORUM: Of course. Of course. But it's harder. I mean, no society in the history of the world, that I'm aware of, has-- has been-- a country that has been virtuous as a ma-- en masse without faith as a component. I mean-- are there people who are-- who are not believers, who are virtuous and good people? Absolutely.
But as a society-- it doesn't exist as-- as-- as a rule. And that-- the main way that people li-- learn virtue and morality is through faith. And-- and so, that's-- that is a very important component-- for-- for our society. I-- John Adams said, "Our constitution," which-- allows for enormous-- I mean, grants and recognizes enormous freedom for-- for people. He said, "Our-- our constitution was made for a moral and religious people. It's wholly inadequate for the governance of any other."
Why he said that was that if people are not living virtuous lives, guess what happens? Governments gets bigger. I mean, they-- you know, you go into any neighborhood where people are not behaving well and you will see police presence. You'll see-- you know, government agencies trying to support and prop up-- you know, people and families and communities. You can't have limited government and not have people who are living good lives.
JOHN BERMAN: On the subject of virtue-- one of your competitors, Herman Cain, has come under fire this last week, week and a half now, on the subject of women who have claimed some degree of sexual harassment. Four different women now, at least reports of four different women, in-- including one who's now come out publicly, name, face, everything. Herman Cain will be talking today. What do you need to hear from Herman Cain?
RICK SANTORUM: I-- you know, I think that's-- that's a decision the public has to make. It's not a decision I'm making. I-- I know who I'm for, for president. And so I-- I-- I'm gonna go out and-- and communicate a message as to, you know, why I should be president of the United States. And every other presidential candidate has that burden, whether it's-- whether it's on the issues or whether it's your past record, whether it's your-- what-- what character, your family, whatever. All those things are-- are issues that I talk about and that I answer questions on all the time. And all the other candidates are gonna be held to account for-- for their positions and-- and what they've done in their life.
JOHN BERMAN: Troubled by them at all? I mean, Mitt Romney called the allegations, the recent ones, particularly disturbing.
RICK SANTORUM: Look, obviously, they're-- they're very troubling. But-- these are things that-- I mean-- they're allegations. Herman has his opportunity to sell-- tell his side of the story. And the American public can make a decision. I've already made my decision. I'm for Rick Santorum. And-- that's-- that's where I am.
JOHN BERMAN: We've had-- thousands of people writing into ABCNews.com and Yahoo News with questions for the candidates. I'm gonna let you choose your own adventure here. (LAUGH) They-- they've written in questions on many different subjects. Choose tax policy or partisanship.
RICK SANTORUM: Tax policy.
JOHN BERMAN: Tax policy. One voter wanted to know, they said, "With the majority of Americans in favor of additional taxes for the rich, why does the Republican Party defend-- or why is the p-- Republican Party so against this idea?"
RICK SANTORUM: Yeah, I think everybody wants to see-- you know, folks who are the upper brackets pay-- as well as, you know, the country, we-- we need more revenues in the federal government to o-- the fact that we're at 14 or 15 percent of G.D.P. in revenues, when the historic average is about 18 or 19. I think most people would say that, you know, we need some revenues to make up the difference.
But why are we at 14? We're-- we're pretty much at the same tax rates as we were when we were collecting 19 or 20 percent. But now we're collecting 14 or 15. Rates haven't changed, nothing's changed with respect to rates. What's changed the-- is the economy. And so the answer is not what-- what-- what we need to do with rates, what we need to do with revenue. How are we gonna get more revenue? And-- and one of the things that I've put forward is a plan that I believe will get the economy going, so we'll create more revenues.
If we can get back to the historical norms of 18-19 percent of-- of federal rev-- of-- of-- of taxes-- making up the economy. And we can take that 25 percent, which is now what we're spending with respect to the percentage of the economy in government and get that back down, those two things come together, we'll have-- we'll have a balanced budget. But you're not gonna get there by-- by raising rates and slowing the economy down even further. You're not gonna get-- the-- the benefit of-- of-- of tax raises in an economy that's sick by making the economy sicker.
JOHN BERMAN: So you're not anti-revenue.
RICK SANTORUM: I'm not anti-revenue, in fact, you know-- I-- I hope that we can get those revenues back to the historical norms, by getting the economy growing. I don't think anyone would suggest that-- that-- that, you know, we need to-- to-- cut taxes to the point-- well, actually, it's interesting. If you look at-- the-- historical normal since World War II, we had rates of 90 percent. And then we had rates as low as 28 percent. But the take during most of that time was about 18-19 percent.
So what happens is-- is that rates are not really the issue as much as it is how well the economy's doing. And, of course, this is the other thing. We had 90 percent rates but nobody paid them. And so you had all these exemptions, exclusions, shelters, all this kind of stuff. And that's why most Americans are saying, "Look, let's just be honest. Let's have lower rates, but everybody pays them. Instead of-- instead of having these artificially high rates and then giving all these deductions and exclusions-- for people to-- to play games with. And that's the plan that I've advocated.
JOHN BERMAN: Senator, this is-- as you know, is a different type of interview and a different type of format, going out on the-- on the internet, live right now. In our last two minutes-- with all the candidates, what we're trying to do is-- a bit of a lightning round. So-- so quick short answers to-- to some of the-- I would say most pressing questions that are out there.
RICK SANTORUM: Oh, short questions-- short answers to pressing questions, all right.
JOHN BERMAN: So let's jump right in.
RICK SANTORUM: All right.
JOHN BERMAN: What's the worst job you ever had?
RICK SANTORUM: I cleaned toilets and shined shoes.
JOHN BERMAN: I think Jon Huntsman said he cleaned toilets also.
RICK SANTORUM: Yeah, I cleaned toilets, yeah.
JOHN BERMAN: What is your-- your biggest guilty pleasure on television viewing?
RICK SANTORUM: Oh-- I-- I guess I would say-- "guilty pleasure." I watch the Food Network with my kids. We-- yeah, I-- I-- I generally don't admit that, but I love cooking. And so-- my kids are-- and I are really into sort of into watching-- you know-- what's it called? Chopped-- the--
JOHN BERMAN: Top Chef?
RICK SANTORUM: Topped. Top Chef, yeah, Chopped and-- I'm trying to think. There's a couple other ones, too. Iron Chef.
JOHN BERMAN: On the subject of food, your favorite junk food.
RICK SANTORUM: Wow, that's a hard one, because I'm pretty much a junk food addict.
JOHN BERMAN: All-- all of the above?
RICK SANTORUM: Yeah, I mean-- yeah, you'd have to pi-- most everyone would say milkshakes, ice cream, that-- that-- yeah, that's probably bad. Chocolate. As deep a chocolate as you can get.
JOHN BERMAN: Who would play you in the movie?
RICK SANTORUM: Oh my gosh. Who would play me in a movie? Let me see-- I don't know. I mean, I--
JOHN BERMAN: Andy Sandberg on Saturday Night Live?
RICK SANTORUM: Well, no, I don't-- I don't--
JOHN BERMAN: Anyone but him?
RICK SANTORUM: No-- that's fine. I don't-- I don't want much of Saturday Night Live. So I-- I apologize for that. But I understand he does play me on Saturday Night Live. I'm tryin' to think of someone I know that-- well, I'll tell you a guy that I know-- and I got to meet is Jim Caviezel. I'd like him to play me on-- he's much better looking than I am, but that-- that would be a good thing.
JOHN BERMAN: Happiest you've been other than-- happiest moment in your life other than wedding or birth of a child.
RICK SANTORUM: Happiest other than wedding or bir-- well, well-- wow, other than wedding and the birth of the child. Wow, those are sort of the happy moments. Let me see--
JOHN BERMAN: Joining us for this digital interview, (UNINTEL) live--
RICK SANTORUM: No.
JOHN BERMAN: No?
RICK SANTORUM: No, no.
JOHN BERMAN: That was a softball right there.
RICK SANTORUM: Close. Close. I don't know, I mean, most of them are fam-- are sort of family things. You know, just-- I don't know. I mean, some-- I don't know, it's hard for me to say. Maybe-- maybe winning the-- my-- I-- it was pretty fun, winning my-- the league championship, when I was the coach of my kid's (TAPE SKIPS) little league team was a pretty big deal for me. I mean, I had both of my kids on the team and I was the coach and-- we had a great season. And it was pretty exciting for the boys. So that was-- that was a lot of fun. That-- that's something recent, maybe not the happiest, but something recent.
JOHN BERMAN: Congratulations on that.
RICK SANTORUM: Thank you.
JOHN BERMAN: And thank you so much--
RICK SANTORUM: We lost our first two games and won 17 straight, I want you to know. So it was a pretty big year.
JOHN BERMAN: And-- you're hoping for some kind of metaphor perhaps (UNINTEL)?
RICK SANTORUM: No, I just thought I'd mention, you know, that-- you know, startin' out l-- slow and gettin'-- pickin' up steam is a good way to go.
JOHN BERMAN: All right, thank you, Senator, so much-- for joining us for this. And I should tell everyone out there-- if you missed any part of this interview, you can always come back and watch it again on ABC News or on Yahoo. I'm John Berman with Senator Rick Santorum. Thanks so much for joining us.

Story highlights
After delays, iTunes 11 is available
Apple's long-serving music tool had gotten bloated, unwieldy
Update aims to streamline experience
At long last, iTunes 11 is finally available for download.
Apple was originally supposed to release iTunes 11 – a total revamp of the longstanding music and apps manager – in October. The launch was then delayed because of "engineering difficulties."
Reports surfaced earlier this week that Apple would release iTunes 11 within its promised November timeframe.
SEE ALSO: iTunes 11: What's New
Since its debut in 2001, iTunes has morphed from a standard music player into something larger and more complex. It's no longer just a music player – it's also an App store, a music and movies store and a way to manage iPod, iPhone and iPad devices.
In other words, iTunes has become a bloated, slow, unwieldy mess.
Whether or not iTunes 11 can solve all these problems is unclear. We'll report back later with a full hands-on review.
In the meantime, Mac users can grab the update from Software Update and on Windows by having iTunes "Check for Updates."
The software is also available for download directly from Apple – though the download links may take a few minutes to propagate.
Do you still use iTunes? Let us know in the comments.

Very early this year - I called the local MS course administrator to ask when the course would be this year - (I am NEW NEW NEW ). After a couple of Q&As she said something along the lines of 'So Im wanting to video tape the classroom portion of this, if you agree to be one of the students for the video - Ill pay for your course'
Um. YA!
So, in April of this year I expect to be doing just that.
In the meantime, I have taken the sample knowledge

But it's not enough to be data-driven. Data, by itself, can't deliver insights. The most successful organisations use data to inform decisions, rather than dictate them. And the most savvy IT professionals know that creating seamless, personalised experiences is still the way to their customer's hearts.
Adobe partnered with Econsultancy to explore the most significant digital trends for EMEA markets that will impact marketing, creative, and technology professionals in 2018. The results speak for themselves.
39% of IT respondents cite keeping up with changing customer expectations and behaviour as one of their top priorities.
More than ever, security is the main preoccupation for IT executives. In fact, security of business and customer data is a top priority for the year ahead.
42% of respondents cite the threat of security breaches and cyber-risk threats as something that keeps them awake at night.
But again, as companies become more experience-driven, the key is to find creative ways to improve platforms and engagement tools while delivering experiences that offer something relevant, personalised, and new. The internet is already saturated with content about "digital transformation" — what new insight can your company bring to the table?
IT executives at larger companies are 2X as likely as peers at smaller organisations to cite utilising artificial intelligence/bots to drive campaigns and experience.
57% of IT leaders look externally for much of their information, citing industry peers or competitors as their source of staying connected.
While only 31% of respondents cited staying connected via digital marketing teams, direct reports, and lines-of-business leaders.
57% of top-performing companies cite ensuring technology is tested/evaluated by the team as one of the most significant roadmaps for the future.

President Trump announced a new trade deal with Canada and Mexico Monday that is intended to replace NAFTA, the 24-year-old trade agreement that regulates roughly $1.2 trillion worth of trade between the North American countries. Assuming it passes Congress, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, is expected to take effect starting in 2020.
Bloomberg's David Fickling says that the new agreement isn't all that different from the old one and includes elements that will be welcomed by the "globalists" who promote the expansion of world trade.
"The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, clinched just before a midnight deadline on Sunday, reads more like an amalgam of the existing Nafta along with certain provisions from the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership that Trump pulled the U.S. out of on his first full working day in office," Fickling writes.
Here are five key provisions in the agreement:
* Dairy: Canada eased pricing rules in one category of dairy products, opening the door for U.S. farmers to ship more powdered milk, protein concentrate and baby formula across the border.
* Autos: Starting in 2020, 75 percent of the components in cars coming from Mexico and Canada must be made in North America in order to qualify for zero tariffs, an increase from the current 62.5 percent. Additionally, 30 percent of the work on a vehicle must be done by workers earning at least $16 an hour. The agreement also contains "side letters" that allow Canada and Mexico to escape most auto tariffs in the future.
* Steel: The Trump administration has hit Canada with 25 percent steel tariffs, which the new agreement leaves in place, to be negotiated separately.
* Labor standards: Mexico is required to provide workers with better opportunities to organize and form unions.
* Prescription drugs: U.S. drugs will receive 10 years of protection from generic protection, up from the current eight years, in what is seen as a big win for Big Pharma.

She Wrote the Book of Love
Assouline's stunning new title will save Mother's Day.
She dealt with your mood swings in middle school, your acne in high school and your meal plan in college.
Celebrate the next chapter with a gift of Assouline's brand new Mother And Child. Big-deal photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank (whose credits include Vogue) has documented her own journey of motherhood by enlisting her A-list friends and other fashion icons, models and humanitarians to be photographed with their children and to speak poignantly about their role as Mom. You'll spot Carolina Herrera de Baez and her brood, pictured below, plus Aerin Lauder, Lauren Santo Domingo, Patti Hansen and—in a spread to make Texans proud—the late Barbara Bush, who was photographed before her death surrounded by her granddaughters Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush, Jenna's two daughters and Laura Bush at the family's home in Kennebunkport.
Finally, you and Mom are on the same beautiful page.
