The company announced yesterday its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, which ended on December 25, 2010. Revenue for the quarter was $95.6 million, up 47 percent from the same quarter a year ago and down five percent sequentially from the previous quarter. Revenue from portable audio products exceeded the company's expectations, helping to drive the growth as compared to a year ago.
Cirrus Logic also issued guidance for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year which ends March 26, 2011. The company expects revenues in the quarter to be in the range between $88 million and $94 million. In addition, it expects gross margins between 54 percent and 56 percent. This figure is right in line with its performance over the past year.
In looking at the fourth quarter and the next fiscal year, Cirrus Logic is optimistic. The company believes it will continue to grow revenue at a faster rate than the semiconductor industry as a whole. The CEO of Cirrus Logic, Jason Rhode, said, "With the production ramps continuing this next year in portable audio, new design wins in other audio markets, and ongoing design activity with our strategic energy initiatives, we are very excited about the opportunities ahead."

Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Hypoallergenic Selected Protein PD In Gel Canned Cat Food Customer Reviews
Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Hypoallergenic Selected Protein PD In Gel Canned Cat Food
Amazing Food!
My cat loves this food! Before he was put on it by a vet he would get a urinary tract infection every 2-3 months. Finally after years of dealing with this a a vet put him on this food. I've tried other foods that are less expensive for urinary tract infections, but nothing works like Royal Canin. Thanks for selling such an awesome product!
November 4, 2012
Excellent for cats with special needs.
Rocky loves this food and looks forward to eating it everyday. It has helped him with the intestinal problems he was having, but not anymore.

Poor Little Kitty
Feb of 2012 My daughter rescued a kitten. She and this little kitty bonded immediately...a couple of months later kitty (josie) was not eating and into the vet we go...the worst periodontal disease my vet had ever seen. He started with 10 teeth and finally worked up to NO TEETH...still bacteria...he put her on the Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Selected Protein PD and the sores stopped..no more antibiotics, no more pain compounds and no more teeth..they needed to come out anyway...they were all loose! Happy ending.
May 2, 2013
Excellent product!
My cat has been eating this food for years, and he hasn't tired of it yet! He gobbles it down at every meal.
It has been a life-saver for him, as he had developed a strange allergy that had him licking himslef until he bled! Once on this food, though, he stopped, and all of his symptoms have gone away.
October 17, 2013
Great Customer Service, Great Product
My elderly cat has multiple digestive issues and has been on Royal Canin Hypoallergenic canned food for years and it has proven to be the only food she consistently can digest. I highly recommend it, particularly for older female cats.
September 23, 2013
My cat stopped vomiting
I have tried hypoallergenic PV, PR and PD. My cat loves them all and has put on weight. No more vomiting.
September 9, 2013
Saved my cat's life!
I can't believe how fast I got this! One day! I thought I was going to lose my cat, she was so sick. She had lost so much weight, her fur was oily and she could barely stand up. Then my vet discovered that she wasn't digesting her food. My vet prescribed this food and within days, my baby was getting better. Now she is back to normal. I'm glad I found this site.
August 20, 2013
happy kitty!
Our local pet store stopped carrying my cat's prescription food. I was lucky to find it on Chewy. Got exactly what we wanted delivered to our door in 2 days - and it cost less than it had at the pet store - yay, Chewy!

The 64-year-old doctor, Dewey C. MacKay III, showed up Tuesday at Federal Correctional Institution in Terminal Island, Calif., a prison near the Los Angeles Harbor.
A jury convicted MacKay in September of illegally distributing painkillers. Authorities say he saw 80 to 120 patients a day and dispensed millions of pills over the years.
MacKay also was convicted in a drug overdose death. One of his patients, a 55-year-old rocket scientist, died three days after filling prescriptions from MacKay in 2006.
Prosecutors say MacKay was supposed to show up Monday but a sealed court order gave him an extra day to arrive at the prison.

SAD 44 approves Andover withdraw agreement
BETHEL — The SAD 44 board voted unanimously Monday night to accept a withdrawal agreement with the town of Andover.
Superintendent David Murphy said the district's negotiating team and the Andover Withdrawal Committee have worked many months to come to an agreement on property and other issues. Part of the agreement calls for Andover to pay its share of district debt, which is $148,000.
The signed agreement will now go to the Department of Education commissioner for review. The commissioner has 60 days to determine whether the educational plan is complete.
Once approved by the commissioner, a public hearing will be set.
Bill Stockmeyer of Drummond Woodsum law firm represented the district at the meeting. Several members of the Andover Withdrawal Committee were also in attendance.
The move to secede from the district came about two years ago when the board voted to close the small school to save money. The school educates 30-plus students in grades kindergarten to five.
Withdrawal Committee Chairwoman Susan Merrow said maintaining a school in Andover is crucial to retaining the town's vitality.
The town has paid funds over and above its district assessment for a couple of years to keep the school open.
Other towns in the district are Bethel, Greenwood, Newry and Woodstock.

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

Henderson Scores for Canada — new Star ebook celebrates Summit Series
Images, articles, columns — and letters to the editor — gives today's readers a glimpse into how much the series meant.
1 | Photo |
? | Comments |
Between August 31 and October 2, 1972, Toronto Star reporters, photographers and columnists covered this historic series that's now 40 years old. This ebook, Henderson Scores for Canada, includes a selection of their articles and photographs collected from the Toronto Star archives — some images have never been seen by the public — in order to give readers today a glimpse into Canadians' overwhelming confidence before the tournament began, the shock, dismay and anger that resulted when the team began to lose and the jubilation when the team ultimately triumphed. With an intro by current Star sports columnist Cathal Kelly.
Below is a sample of some of the material in the book, a selection of Letters to the Editor:
'Provoking fights shows we have a lot to learn'
To the editor of The Star:
What really bugged me about first Soviet-Canada hockey game was the unsportsmanlike conduct — perhaps typical in North America — of Team NHL. I mean, Team Canada.
Their attempts to provoke fights late in the game showed this observer that we Canadians have a lot more to learn besides hockey.
'More money might help'
To the editor of The Star:
We just aren't paying our hockey players enough money.
They deserve the best.
To the editor of The Star:
Like most other Canadians, I sat home with my mouth open and swallowed every puck the Russians put in our net. It was unbelievable! How could these Russians win?
We, the great Canadians who fathered the game and mothered it to the point where we were paying some players millions, were being whomped by the regimented and disciplined Russians — and they play better than us for next-to-nothing.
We have finally proved to ourselves that as far as our athletic culture is concerned, we have gone to the dogs.
'The revolting sweaters Team Canada wears'
To the editor of The Star:
Without a doubt the most appalling, revolting feature about Team Canada is their awful sweaters.
Their outfits resemble the medieval garb worn by harlequins and court jesters.
Like everything that has been done about Team Canada we simply went overboard. Air mail steaks and beer to Moscow, $250 watches to guys who don't need them, air-conditioned suites, etc., etc.
No wonder the Soviets have picked up so many Canadian fans.

I'm wondering about DVD commentary tracks that feature a female actress making a significant contribution. These are the only ones I could think of, and I have hundrds of DVDs. Garden State - Natalie Portman Good Girl - Aniston Crazy/Beautiful - Dunst I only ask they you exclude "chick flicks", actresses that did commentaries decades after the movie theatrical release and actresses preferable roughly the same age as Aniston or younger. SA
Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez on "Resident Evil" comes to mind. I'm sure there are plenty of others but I'm too lazy to check right now...
On the other hand... Cher's commentary on "Moonstruck" DVD - a gifted actress, but a not-so-gifted commentator. Sorry if I just poo'd on this thread.
The Cher commentary doesn't follow the OP's rules: she's too old, and it's been too long since the movie was made. He wants commentaries from women who are 40 or under and were recorded when the movie was fresh. He's not even asking about quality - just specific titles...
Thought of another one: Carrie-Anne Moss on the original "Matrix" DVD. Granted, it could be argued she doesn't make a "significant contribution" since she doesn't say much, but the others make it a sucky comm as well, so I think it counts!
More: Charlize Theron, "Monster" Sanaa Lathan, "Alien vs. Predator" Jodie Foster, "Contact" Helen Hunt, "As Good As It Gets" Elizabeth Hurley, "Bedazzled" Jessica Biel: "Blade Trinity" Kristanna Loken: "BloodRayne" Heather Graham, Julianne Moore, Melora Walters: "Boogie Nights" Jennifer Aniston: "The Break-Up" AnnaSophia Robb: "Bridge to Terabithia" Alyson Stoner, Morgan York, Liliana Mumy, Piper Perabo: "Cheaper By the Dozen" Anna Popplewell, Georgie Henley: "Narnia" Piper Perabo, Tyra Banks, Maria Bello, Bridget Moynahan, Izabella Miko: "Coyote Ugly" And that's all I'm gonna check - this could take hours!
I prefer females that make worthwhile contribution to a commentary. I read one review that said Dunst was kinda useless on one of the Spiderman DVDs. THIRTEEN - Evan Rachel Wood and Eva Mendes
It's a good point though, most commentaries I've listened to are mostly by males. However Toyah does a commentary on Derek Jarman's The Tempest, as do the two female leads in the Asian film A Tale of Two Sisters.
Raquel Welch - Myra Breckinridge. She's on the theatrical version, not the "director's cut" on which the commentary is devoted to the director. She has, let's say, different views about the result. Paget Brewster - The Specials. If screenwriter James Gunn wants some solace about his recent split with Jenna Fischer, she seemed quite in the mood for it in their joint commentary. Laurie Mitchell - Queen of Outer Space Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman - Yvette Vickers (the mistress, who dances with the husband during the whole movie) The Sweetest Thing - Christina Applegate, Cameron Diaz and Selma Blair
Mea Culpa. Although I thought the phrase "significant contribution" implied a certain degree of quality. Regardless, consider me stepped on. Cheers.
It's up for grabs what that term means. I took it to mean that the actress does more than chime in once or twice - she has to be there most/all of the chat. It doesn't necessarily connote quality - which is in the eye of the beholder anyway. There are plenty of commentaries I think suck that others love - like Rosemary Clooney for "White Christmas". I thought it was an absolute bore, but others found it to be charming...

We just got back home to Texas from a family visit to Milwaukee. This was our first time to Wisconsin and we loved it. While I was there I had to try Wisconsin cheese, spotted cow beer and of course their pretzel bread. We traveled there for our nephew's baptism and to spend some much needed time with Shaun's older sister and her family. She was definitely the hostess with the mostess on this trip. Every meal was absolutely AMAZING and I will do my best to replicate some of my favorites from the trip.
During our stay I was introduced to coconut oil and sprouted bread and of course I had to buy some when I got home. I am all for eating better and trying out new things. At the store I managed to pick up come fresh strawberries and raspberries and decided to make this berry lemonade popsicle. The weather may be acting strange but I'm gearing myself up for Summer.
I have been wanting to make popsicles for a while now and was so excited to try out the ZOKU original pop maker. The big decision was what kind of flavors I was going to use. Thank goodness I saw those fresh berries at the store because I was able to make my mind up on the flavor profile and lemonade just reminds me of a lemonade stand during the summer months.
Enjoy ~ Meagan
Berry Lemonade Popsicle
Yield: 6 popsicles
Total Time: 45 minutes
1/2 cup raspberries
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
3 cups Simply Lemonade
(Follow the Zoku Instructions about freezing the container.)
In a food processor add the first three ingredients with 1 1/2 cups of lemonade and reserve the rest.
Mix until everything is pureed.
Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow it to chill.
Remove and pour in 1/2 of the mixture into each popsicle compartment. Allow it to freeze and then add the remaining lemonade to the fill line on the mold. (Do not go past the fill line.)
Allow it to freeze (about 7 minutes) and then remove.
Disclosure: I received a Zoku Quick Pop Maker for review purposes and the giveaway. All opinions are my own.

INDIANAPOLIS-- A new environmentally friendly tire and cool morning temperatures had NASCAR drivers clocking speeds they weren't even sure were possible Tuesday.
On the first day of a closed tire test on Indianapolis' historic 2.5-mile oval, Mark Martin wrote on Twitter that he had hit 212 mph in the morning.
When Jeff Gordon saw the post, he asked his own team how fast he reached and said he was told 214.
Drivers attributed the speed to almost perfect conditions in the morning -- good grip and a cool track. In the heat of the afternoon, Gordon said the tire wear increased and the speeds slowed.
Clearly, though, those on the track were encouraged by the results.
Gordon and Trevor Bayne both said they would embrace a night race at Indy, too.

What is Driving the Data Explosion?
The Internet, comprehensive application software, and new computing and storage technologies have made it easier to create, collect, and store all types of data. Data can be managed and stored in structured relational databases; in semi-structured file systems, such as e-mail; and as unstructured fixed content, like documents and graphic files. Companies rely on this enterprise data to improve decision-making and to gain a competitive advantage; they must also retain data to comply with government-mandated retention requirements.
Data Growth Explodes Across Industries
Comprehensive CRM, ERP and mission-critical applications capture, create and process increasing volumes of data to keep businesses operating and profitable. Companies depend on the availability and fast access to this data 24x7x365. Today it would be difficult to find an organization in any industry – insurance, financial services, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, utilities, retail, and manufacturing, among others – that has not collected huge quantities of data for some or all of its business processes.
The federal government is another prime example. Thousands of tax returns enter into Internal Revenue Service systems each year, and each year the data grows as the population filing those returns increases.
In other areas of both federal and local governments, enormous amounts of data are collected daily in online databases to support thousands of users across government agencies.
Similarly, the financial sector, ruled by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is coping with a dramatic increase data associated with stocks, bonds, and mutual fund transactions. Various SEC rulings necessitate audit trails, record archiving, and maintain more stringent reporting regulations (to both the SEC and the customer), increasing the growth in data output and retention requirements.
Data Retention Requirements Intensify Demand for Storage
Compounding the data growth challenges are new laws requiring that different types of data across industries be saved for longer periods of time. Each type of data has unique data retention and compliance challenges, including costs for storage and easy access. Companies may need to protect corporate interests by retrieving historical financial transactions to satisfy audit inquiries and resolve claims. In other cases, corporate policy or government regulations dictate that data be accessible for years after it is collected and after the original computer systems have been retired. These new requirements include strict penalties for non-compliance, driving the demand for cost-effective data management and storage solutions.
Data Duplication Multiplies Data Growth Numbers
Data duplication also contributes to the data growth statistics. It is not uncommon for organizations to maintain several back-up copies of critical data or to implement mirrored databases that provide assurance against data loss. Disaster recovery plans often require data duplication in order to store critical data in an alternate location. Data duplication also exists in application development and testing environments, where there are often several clones of the original production database. It is important to consider that as data is duplicated, storage and maintenance costs increase proportionally. Unless companies can find more cost effective ways to manage the source copy of the data and the duplication, the multiplicity of costs will continue to be prohibitive.
Why is Database Growth a Problem?
Since most of today's business-critical applications depend on large relational databases, it is absolutely necessary to control continuous database growth; yet, relational data is the most complex type of data to manage. Unchecked database growth has an impact on both disaster recovery plans and daily business operations. From a recovery perspective, database growth results in increased costs and slower recovery time. Companies deploy various strategies for implementing disaster recovery plans to ensure that their business can recover from a disaster and resume operations in an acceptable time period.
Key factors affecting disaster recovery plans include the recovery time objective (RTO), functions needed to operate the business in emergency mode, available funds and government regulations. Some companies deploy a mirrored site available in near real-time, while others deploy a recovery plan at an alternate location. When a "hot site" is deployed, the secondary location is configured to support all business operations. Complete copies of the data exist at the primary and secondary locations, and these databases must be managed at both locations, doubling costs in some cases. With alternate sites, the RTO is critical, and any time wasted on non-essential tasks that prevent a business from resuming operations, could cost millions of dollars per hour in downtime. Why recover an entire database containing years of rarely accessed historical data that directly affects the RTO?
From a day-to-day perspective, as database size increases, the performance of mission-critical applications deteriorates. Larger databases take longer to load, unload, search, reorganize, index, and optimize. Response time slows. Access to decision-making information becomes more difficult. Service levels decline. Larger databases require more maintenance. The corporate data explosion has stretched back-up and reorganization windows to the point where database and application availability are seriously threatened. Without a way to safely remove older, rarely accessed data from production databases, this problem will only worsen over time.
Purchasing capacity upgrades to address performance problems may appear to be cost effective; however, over time, upgrades are needed more often to keep pace with database growth. The demand for high performance is more critical than ever, requiring more frequent and larger increases in capacity to satisfy demand. As a result, IT organizations often spend millions of dollars in hardware and software license fees per year just to expand server, storage, and CPU capacity. And most importantly, this short-term solution does not address the root of the problem.
Advantages of Database Archiving
Database archiving streamlines critical databases by removing rarely accessed data and saving it to an Archive File that can be stored on the most cost-effective medium. Retaining the referential integrity and providing easy access are key requirements when archiving data from a relational database. Companies must ensure that archived data retains its business context and can be quickly researched and easily restored when necessary. In the meantime, application performance, availability, and reliability are greatly improved, and planned increases in capacity can be deferred – with the potential to save millions of dollars.
By separating mission-critical data from non-critical data, many companies can safely reduce the size of overloaded databases by up to 50 percent or more during the initial archive. Significant improvements in application performance and availability are realized immediately. On-going database archiving (daily, weekly or monthly) helps manage database growth and keeps applications operating at peak performance. Response time is faster and access to current business data is easier. Service levels improve, and productivity is enhanced. Expensive upgrades and maintenance fees can be deferred or eliminated, with the potential to save millions of dollars. Most importantly, companies can satisfy data retention requirements and still retain easy access to the archived data when needed.
By keeping databases streamlined, database archiving can reduce the time and resources needed to rebuild the database when disaster strikes (see Figure 1 on page 71). IT organizations can maintain databases at a size that allows them to meet their disaster recovery service level agreements. In the event of a disaster, the key strategy is to get mission critical systems operational as quickly as possible. With overloaded databases, all the data (including years of rarely accessed data) must be restored just to get business critical data back online. Having to restore large volumes of historical data can slow the recovery process by hours or even days. Now with streamlined databases, a company can recover business-critical data first, to quickly resume operations. Archived data can be restored on an as-needed basis. This approach dramatically reduces the RTO at a time when every second counts. Streamlined databases reduce the total cost and resources required when companies deploy a "hot site" recovery plan.
According to the Meta Group, increasing data replication requirements coupled with escalating data growth, can negatively impact disaster recovery processes and recovery times. With routine database archiving, the primary database contains much less data because the archived data has been removed. A smaller, primary production database means a smaller production database at a "fail-over hot site." As a result, companies can reduce the total "fail-over hot site" requirements. In addition, many disaster recovery plans have service level agreements (SLAs) requiring that the recovery plan be completed within a specified timeframe. Database archiving will help IT organizations meet these requirements by reducing the time needed to complete the recovery of critical systems.
Database archiving keeps operational databases streamlined and enhances disaster recovery plans, enabling companies to recover operational data and rebuild alternate databases in much less time. After the critical systems are operational, a phased recovery plan can be used to restore archived data, as needed based on the business value of the data.

At tax return time, you must "net" your capital gains and losses for the year. Any net long-term gain is taxed at a maximum 15% rate. Any excess loss can offset up to $3,000 of ordinary income. Strategy: Sell securities at year-end with an eye on taxes.
Small Business Tax
Section 179 vehicles should be a key part of your small business tax deduction strategies. Can Section 179 property fit in with your business tax strategies?
Let Business Management Daily help you get each and every rental property depreciation credit and business tax deduction you're entitled to.
To determine the value of your business inventory at year-end, you can use either the first in, first out (FIFO) method or the last in, first out (LIFO) method. Strategy: Switch to the LIFO method if the costs of goods are rising or you've had a high-income year. The change can result in a larger deduction for the cost of goods sold and a lower taxable income for your company.
If H1N1 flu threatens to shut down businesses nationwide, employers are going to need contingency plans to make sure they keep running. Flexible work schedules, temporary shutdowns and telework can all help—but all have unexpected wage-and-hour implications. Here's guidance from the Department of Labor on how to handle these tricky issues.
You can deduct your expenses related to your vacation home's rental activity to offset the rental income. You may even be able to claim an overall tax loss for the year. But you can't claim a tax loss if your personal use exceeds the greater of 14 days or 10% of the days the home is rented out. Tax strategy: Take a winter break straddling this year and next year ...
If you receive gifts of Series EE Savings Bonds in a child's name, stash them away for a rainy day.

If you have a flexible spending account (FSA) at work to pay for health care and/or dependent care expenses, remeber that any amount left over at the end of the year is forfeited, under the "use-it-or-lose-it" rule. Strategy: Squeeze every dollar out of your FSA before the year ends. You might even move up some nonemergency medical visits from 2010 to 2009.
Maybe you've acquired separate companies or you split off a subsidiary from your initial operation. In either event, you own two or more business entities on the books. Potential problem: If some of the employees work for more than one of the companies, you could be paying more employment tax than required. Strategy: Assign a "common paymaster" for payroll matters.
What will happen to the estate and gift-tax laws in the next few months? At this point, it's anyone's guess. So focus on what you know now. Emphasize those estate-planning techniques that would seem to make sense no matter which way the wind blows. For instance, if you've started a lifetime gift-giving program, continue it.

There is a thing called sex trafficking. Children as little as three and four are forced to have sex. By the way, it happens in the United States too.
NP Rank:
At 9 most girls are out playing with friends or with their toys. This 9 year old has given birth to a healthy baby boy.
In north-east China, an unnamed Chinese girl gave birth by Caesarean section to a healthy baby boy. She was brought to a hospital in Changchun when she was eight and a half months pregnant and gave birth there, a Chinese newspaper reported.
According to reports, local police haven't determined who the father is, but are investigating -- in this province sex with a minor under the age of 14 comes with an automatic rape conviction and jail sentence. The Chinese girl's father was arrested for child abuse but released due to lack of evidence.
This new mother is among the world's youngest mothers, but not the youngest. The youngest reported mother in the world is Lina Medina of Peru, who was pregnant at five years, eight months old, and gave birth to a normal boy at age six, five months. According to a Time magazine article, Lina's boy grew up perfectly healthy.

In this new and revised edition the authors have concentrated on a synopsis of present theories of electrocardiography and a demonstration of application of vectorial interpretation to practical electrocardiography. A section on disturbances of rhythm is presented in the conventional way. Principles of electrophysiology and vector analysis are taken up first; the theories are critically reviewed; and the methods and instruments used for recording the electrocardiograms are described in special chapters. Then the concepts of the authors are developed. These are based on their own animal experiments and comparative studies of scalar electrocardiograms with actual vectorcardiograms. Interpretation of abnormalities of P, QRS, and T waves in terms of alterations of the electrical field are illustrated in numerous diagrams. Cardiac strain, intraventricular block, and myocardial infarction are discussed at length. The alterations of the electrical field, as revealed by changes in the contour and direction of vector loops, are correlated with

Damon Albarn talks about Dr Dee – An English Opera
As if his previous foray into opera, Monkey: Journey to the West, wasn't an impressive enough display of Damon Albarn's versatility, his latest project is a musical voyage through the life and work of one John Dee, the 16th century mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, occultist and consultant to Queen Elizabeth I.
We'd like to see Noel Gallagher have a go at that.
MSN caught up with Damon at last month's OneFest festival in Wiltshire where he performed the full work live.
Click in the video player below for our exclusive interview and more.
Dr Dee explained
The Dr Dee opera was inspired by comic book author Alan Moore and was originally planned as a collaboration between him, Damon and Gorillaz artist Jamie Hewlett.
When Moore withdrew from the project, Damon wrote a full-scale opera for a band combining Elizabethan English instruments such as the viola de gamba, shawm, dulcian, crumhorn, recorde and lute, with the African kora and the distinctive percussion of erstwhile Albarn collaborator Tony Allen.
The resulting work was first performed live from 1 to 9 July 2011 at the Palace Theatre, Manchester, and more recently at OneFest.
The production has won rave reviews, with The Daily Telegraph calling it "fresh, original and heartfelt", and the NME declaring it "visually sumptuous and musically haunting".
An 18-track soundtrack album entitled Dr Dee will be released by Parlophone on May 7 -you can order a copyhere.

text: Pictured on the follow-up to last year's surprisingly successful Eye to the Telescope, KT Tunstall strikes a defiant pose with a mirrored bass, a mannered cross between Suzi Quatro and Liz Phair. Thankfully on the disc, she continues her own '70s singer/songwriter-meets-modern-technology persona that ignited loads of international acclaim and repeated cross-country touring. As 2006 unfolded, she played increasingly larger venues with each passing month. She also continued expanding her craft, and Drastic is the pretty fantastic result. Again joined by producer Steve Osbourne (U2, B-52's), she wisely continues to build on her considerable strengths of insistent pop melodies built on a rootsy-folk foundation. The lushly produced collection of TV and movie soundtrack-friendly material is stocked with plenty of catchy hooks and maddeningly memorable moments, highlighted by the sly "I Don't Want You Now" and the moody "Paper Aeroplane." 4 stars.

Gangs revisited: what's a gang and what's race got to do with it?: politics and policy into practice |
Publisher: |
London: Runnymede Trust, 2011. 28p. |
Abstract: |
In England, the media has generated widespread anxiety about 'dangerous' black youth residing in Britain's major urban centres. Whilst it is true that weapon enabled violence in our cities also involves Asian and white youth, statistical and anecdotal evidence do point to the fact that young black males – including those of African, Caribbean and Mixed heritage – are disproportionately affected both as perpetrators and victims. This paper critically assesses the substantive ideas that have developed in recent times on serious youth gang-related violence in the UK, and examines how race and ethnicity – with reference to black male youth – has largely been down-played by policy makers and academics and hysterically overplayed by the media. It attempts to reframe debates around race/ethnicity and violent crime in ways that give more balanced insight to the drivers of contemporary urban youth violence in order that policy and practice interventions might better be able to meet the needs of those vulnerable at-risk young people. |

This Wendy's Employee Is REALLY Not Helping Protesting Fast Food Worker's Case for $15-Per-Hour Minimum Wage
December 5, 2013 at 6:29pm
They lost me when it was said she got food poisoning and had to go to the hospital. Bull. These people are going to milk this for all it's worth. In their minds they have hit the lottery. I see a huge lawsuit in the making.
As to the worthless slug of a worker, I hope they hit her with everything law she broke. As to the rest of the worthless slugs demanding $15 per hour, fire them all.

Doctors, Trial Lawyers Back 'Provider Shield' Law in GA
"These guidelines, including factors like healthcare quality measures and payment adjustments and value-based payment modifiers, don't have any direct ties to the medical profession in Georgia," Bohlke said in prepared remarks. "These are simply cost management tools for the federal government and other third-party payers."
The shield law is being touted as the first in the nation and is based on model legislation crafted by the American Medical Association's Advocacy Resource Center.
AMA board member Patrice A. Harris, MD, said the law "makes it clear that federal standards or guidelines designed to enhance access to high-quality healthcare cannot be used to invent new legal actions against physicians."
"The decisive action of Georgia lawmakers holds the line against medical liability abuse and helps avert more civil actions against physicians, which increase medical liability insurance premiums and reduce access to health care for Georgia's patients," Harris said in prepared remarks.
Under the shield, evidence related to government and private payer guidelines won't be admissible in court, can't be used as the standard of care, and can't be used as a presumption of negligence in any malpractice lawsuit.
Clark says trial lawyers were "glad to partner" with physicians in support the bill because the protections it extends against malpractice suits are limited and should not affect patient safety.

The Famagusta region
About Famagusta:
The Famagusta District, on the island's east coast, was once the main port of Cyprus and a popular resort. After the Turkish invasion the areas of Ayia Napa and Protaras were redeveloped to become one of the largest resort areas on the island with many hotels, shops, tavernas, discos and bars.
The town of Paralimni continues to grow in popularity and it gives easy access to some of the best beaches on the island. The resort of Protaras with Fig Tree Bay at its heart is always popular for holidays. The smaller resort of Penera is always a favourite for families and the upcoming star is the area of Kapparis, with its sandy beaches and own distinct area of tavernas and bars springing up, this promises to be a year round destination.
The villages slightly in land offer good value as they are only a ten minute drive from the coast. Frenaros and Dyrenia offer a more traditional way of life yet they are within very easy reach of the larger town of Paralimni. Move further south and you are in the better known resorts of Agia Napa, with its magnificent Nissi Beach and vibrant nightlife.
Away from the main tourist areas, many ex-pats live in the villages and towns only a short drive from the sandy coastline and far from going to sleep in the winter these areas offer a year round lifestyle.
About Paralimni:
The largest town in the eastern southern fringe of Cyprus, it has taken over as the administration centre for the Famagusta region. There is nothing you can't find here, modern shops and offices stand beside traditional coffee shops and old stores, you will find small roads that are towered over by old Venetian style houses, old women still wearing the traditional black garb and the men sitting outside the local coffee shops playing back gammon while the younger generation goes by in the latest fashions.
Beautifully constructed modern day churches overlook the old and crumbling architecture of the older worshiping grounds that house fading mosaics, a drink of coffee in a modern cafe whilst listening to the afternoon church service and the harmonious church bells as they ring out across the old square and warm smiles will greet you everywhere.
Paralimni has grown over the recent years and is now a location that offers year around living, modern shops radiate out from the village square, offering residents a wide choice for shopping, there is even a Marks & Spencers here!
About Agia Napa:
Much has been written about this resort and in the past it has suffered from a bad press, the truth is that this once small sleepy fishing village has grown into a great family resort area with lots of activities and entertainments for all the family, stunning new hotels and simply magnificent beaches is what makes visitors return year after year. Just a short drive away from the centre and you reach the peace and tranquillity that is Cape Greco, the eastern most point of Cyprus, where the whole area is protected and you feel you are in another world.
In the centre of Agia Napa older properties are being renovated and offered for sale at reasonably good prices that appeal to the buy to let investor. Newer developments within the resort are rare as most of the land has been used up. Going west out of Agia Napa will bring you to the area of Agia Thekla where extensive development has taken place along the coast. At this time this area is lacking in amenities of any sort and you would need to travel to the nearby villages to get even the most basic of provisions.
About Protaras:
Looked over by green rolling hills and the church of Profitis Elias that stands on a hill over 100meters high, the small town of Protaras has a magic all of it's own. Golden sand and sparkling blue waters make for some of the most beautiful beaches on the island.
You can find rugged cliffs standing high over small, sandy coves and local fish tavernas serving fresh fish while you take in the wonderful scenery. A short drive inland will lead you to the scenic "Valley of the Windmills" where what seems like hundreds of rotating fan blades help to pump the water that irrigates this fertile land. The roads in Protaras are of an excellent standard constructed with large pedestrian and cycle routes at the sides.The entire length of the main coastal road in Protaras which spans from Paralimni via Protaras and into Ayia Napa (about 15km) is lined with a large pedestrian route that is ideal for walkers and bikers.
For those of you that prefer being closer to nature, there is a wooden path that can be followed around the coast, across rocky coves and secluded beaches where you will find small churches perched high on the rocky landscape overlooking the sea..
About Kapparis:
Unspoilt, secluded sandy coves where you can have the beach to yourself all day long and local hospitality from the numerous tavernas are what you will find in Kapparis. A well kept secret that is just now starting to be discovered. And for those who want a busier time then the town of Paralimni is just a few minutes drive away and the resorts of Protaras and Agia Napa only 10 and 15 minutes drive away.
New bars and restaurants are being established on the main Kapparis road that leads to Famagusta providing visitors to the area all amenities without having to go to the neighbouring areas.
The Cypriot people are naturally very friendly, welcoming and helpful. They have a strong tradition for family life so children are made to feel welcome in most restaurants.
English is spoken by most Cypriots.

Yiddish is a 1000-year-old language of the Jews of Eastern Europe. Yiddish folk songs are deeply rooted in spiritual traditions, Cantorial and Chassidic singing; also they have been influenced by many other East European cultures. They speak about people's everyday life and express every colour of human emotion.
Niggunim form a part of Jewish worship that enables the singer to bring about a change in consciousness known as "Dveykes", or "union with God". They are the age old Jewish "songs without words" and sometimes include improvisation and a lot of ornamentation which participants explore in every song.
We often talk about our songs in terms of Yiddish, interpret texts, discuss meanings – we have a few Yiddish speakers and even a few Yiddishists in the group… We also enjoy the specifics of the musical language: modes, stylistic features, arrangements etc… and experiment with interpretation and style.
But most of all – we sing, sing, sing! Choir members also bring their own songs and arrangements as well as nice snacks, (including latkes and bliny) so we always have a great time!
