Yes, it's been almost a year since I last posted. A lot has happened since then. Leaving the unpleasant parts out, Zinfandel (the puppy pictured in the previous post) was followed by Rocky (Singh), a Spitz. Now, they've given me grand-paternal responsibilities – Zinnie delivered 7 pups a couple of days ago!

Once upon a time, deep in the ocean, there flourished a civilization. There was business, there was trade… in short, there was everything that can be expected of a civilization.
There existed a big corporation, run by sharks. And, there was a small organization, run by octopusses. The sharks employed lots of sharks to do their work. The octopusses had squids to do their bidding.
The Octopus organization had a few pet fish. One day, they entered into a contract with the Shark organization to hire the fish out – now, the fish were expected to entertain the sharks. The sharks had a lot of fun chasing the fish around and troubling them; the poor fish ran around in circles and cribbed to the ocotopuses and squids, to no avail.
One day, the sharks gobbled up the fish.
The octopusses and the squids couldn't care less.

There was something Stwabbit wanted the Missus to scold me for.
"Mamma, go ahead and scream at him. I'll beep out words, like they do on TV!"

Stwabbit badly wants a bey blade. For historical reasons, this demand has not been met.
Sunday evening, she attended a birthday party, where the children played with bey blades.
On the way back, she laments…
"The one thing that could change my life forever… is turning my life upside down!"
Update: Stwabbit got her bey blade on Saturday – within 10 minutes of unpacking, the tip was broken! A new tip has been created with M-Seal, so Stwabbit is not unhappy right now…

Bedtime conversation:
"Mamma, what does FU*K mean?", asks Stwabbit.
"Where did you learn that word?!!!" exclaims the Missus.
"In school", comes the reply.
"In school? You learned it in school?" asks the Missus, in utter disbelief.
"Yes. It was written on a bench in the computer lab. F-U-*-K!"
I can't complain. After all, I do send her to school to learn…

Recently, thousands of babies and children in China who drank milk tainted with melamine were sickened, and many developed painful kidney stones.
While these cases were due to the melamine a toxic chemical used to thin out milk doctors here say they are seeing a rise in the number of children suffering from kidney stones, once a condition mostly associated with middle age, according to the New York Times.
And what is one of the major causes? Salt.
Research has shown that dietary factors are the leading cause of kidney stones.
Kidney stones are the result of several substances crystallizing in urine, and the article explains that 40 to 60 percent of kidney stones form when oxalate, a by-product of certain foods, binds to calcium in the urine. The two biggest risk factors for this are not drinking enough water and eating too much salt. Both of these things increase the amount of calcium and oxalate in the urine.
Dr. Bruce L. Slaughenhoupt, co-director of pediatric urology and of the pediatric kidney stone clinic at the University of Wisconsin, is quoted in the article: "What weve really seen is an increase in the salt load in childrens diet." He referred to kids' dietary staples such as processed foods including sandwich meats, canned soups, and sports drinks.
Kids don't drink enough water and the rise in obesity is contributing to the problem as well. Some suggest that sucrose, found in sodas, and high-protein weight-loss diets can both increase the risk of stones, according to the article.
About half of children with kidney stones have a family history of the disease. Dr. Caleb P. Nelson, a urology instructor at Harvard Medical School, said in the article: If you have a family history, its important to recognize your kids are at risk at some point in their life. That means instilling lifelong habits of good hydration, balanced diet, and avoiding processed high-salt, high-fat foods.
Good advice, since we already know climate change will increase our risk for kidney stones.
Enter your city or zip code to get your local temperature and air quality and find local green food and recycling resources near you.

Help us figure out what chicken breeds we bought, please! Here are the models. . .
This is Chick 1.

As some of you might know I am an artist/practitioner/photographer. Which of these, I am never quite sure of. I guess it depends on how you define the terms. I also teach photography, and I find that often I don't seem to make enough time for my own practice, unless I work on a big project.
I decided it was time for some daily discipline.

I like sports and men who love sports. There's something about a rugged man's man. And a well dressed man is sexier than one who makes a lot of money. I'm pretty traditional. I can be romantic just like a guy can. My mother and father have been married for 33 years and their love grows everyday. They rely on the Lord and each other to battle anything. they have set a great example for me. I'm a really passionate person when it comes to the people i love. I have a very forgiving personality, it's very hard for me to hold a grudge or to get offended.
I share a relationship with the Lord, and I'd love to be involved with someone in that aspect. I really need someone who's going to challenge me. I'm a natural leader as it is. So a man who wants ansd knows how to lead us together is alright in my book. Oh and I don't mind if you have a child. I love them
I probably won't always get the jokes you tell but i'll make sure to tell you i'm proud of what your doing or how hard to attempt to work at something. I will ALWAYS be grateful for what you do for me.

Here's a look at what risk and insurance managers don't want going into 2011.
By CYRIL TUOHY, managing editor of Risk & Insurance®.
What risk managers don't want for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or whatever else they are planning to celebrate this holiday season.
-- Wanna-be market entrants. Any Johnny-come-lately can underprice his or her way into the market just to grab market share. That doesn't do risk managers any good when they need their carriers to pay the claim.
-- Broker double-talk. Either brokers accept contingent commissions, and accept them completely, or they decline them completely. Period. Accepting contingents where "legally permissible," or depending on the size of the account makes for a more complicated life for buyers.
-- Title bloat. The industry has raised this to an art form. Unfortunately, it only eats up space on letterhead and e-mail signatures. Titles are the remnant of a feudal past, and the industry's moved far beyond that ... or has it?
-- Alphabet soup. No one can understand insurance industry professional designations. Risks, meanwhile, keep getting more complex. Focus on the risks, and your career will take care of itself.
-- Mergers and acquisitions, said to be necessary because they make the marketplace more efficient, often do quite the opposite. Shareholders and senior management do well. In the end, though, life is more confusing for buyers.
-- Frothy stock markets. They encourage irresponsible behavior. The last thing we need is to egg on Wall Street to invent opaque products that no one needs, and that no one understands, Wall Street included. Market froth only encourages carriers to go out and sell insurance against the very products no one understands.
-- The astronomical cost of living in Bermuda. Even with fat expense accounts, housing allowances and discounted greens fees, the cost of living there is out of hand. Perhaps the new Premier Paula Cox can do something about it.
-- Endless disagreement over what enterprise risk management is and is not. If the industry could agree on ERM, every company would be able to manage its risks properly.
-- Third-party administrators acting as middlemen. TPAs need to manage claims or book of business on behalf of clients, not outsource the work to a subcontractor. That's like college students paying someone else to write their term papers.

GO THE FRIENDLY HOUR Tom Jacobson's lovely new play chronicles the rituals of a women's club in rural South Dakota from the late 1930s to 2007, and we watch the women with whom we grow increasingly familiar age and engage in theological disputes that are really at the heart of the matter. God's purpose, and the purpose of community, interweave and clash through the decades, as five fine actors portray many more roles. Leading the pack is Kate Mines' prickly creationist Effie, and Ann Noble's proud, forward-thinking Dorcas Briggle, who, had she lived somewhere else, would have joined the Unitarian Church. (Deana Barone, Mara Marine and Bettina Zacar round out the cast.) The play desperately needs pruning — its length is partly responsible for a monochromatic quality that dampens Mark Bringleson's otherwise animated and tender staging. If this were scaled down to six pointed scenes from its perpetually unrolling carpet of the club's rites and characters' domestic crises, the impact of the survivors' dotage in 2007 could be that much more gripping. Still, Jacobson has put aside the conspicuous cleverness of his past works, Bunbury and Ouroboros, for an impressionistic landscape that straddles the literary worlds of Anton Chekhov and Thornton Wilder. Desma Murphey's wood-frame set, against which a backdrop of clouds peers through, contains both elegance and allegory, and Lisa D. Burke's costumes contain similar affection and wit. Lankershim Arts Center, 5108 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood; Fri.-Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 2 p.m.; through Nov. 1. (866) 811-4111 or www.roadtheatre.org. A Road Theatre Company produciton.

GO GOING TO MEET THE MAN Almost 20 years since it premiered in L.A. at Theatre West and was discovered by Robert De Niro, Chazz Palminteri's Broadway hit, solo memoir A Bronx Tale has all the ingredients of an enduring saga — violence and sentimentality, fathers and sons, rites of passage and tests of loyalty. The setting is the Palminteri's apartment stoop at the corner of Belont and 187th Street in the Bronx, where, as a 9-year-old in 1960, Palminteri, sitting by himself on the front steps (lovely set by James Noone) witnessed a gang shooting. The gang, in this instance, was the Italian mob, but one has the sense from Palminteri's story that the general shapes of gang warfare and drive-by shootings are as universal as the tests of loyalty they induce. Palminteri describes being dragged to the local police station to identify the shooter — one self-appointed neighborhood protector named Sonny, whom the locals respected and feared. The scene has Palminteri playing himself, with his hand thrust into his father's sweaty palm, as the parent prays the kid will keep his mouth shut — which he does. "I did a good thing, huh dad?" the boy asks, to which the father replies, "You did a good thing for a bad man," hoping that the matter — and the dubious morality attached to it — will simply dissipate. But Sonny's gratitude slowly emerges, and young Chazz finds himself with a second father, engaged in an ethics clash with his first. The former is loved, the latter, feared; the former works like a horse and can barely pay his rent; the latter has grown stinking rich by scaring others into doing his works — he delegates and makes decisions; Sonny dismisses the Palminteri family's love of pro baseball — "When your dad can't make the rent, tell him to go to Mickey Mantle, and see what he says" — because in this world, "nobody cares." With that philosophy, Sonny encourages the boy to go to college and work his way up in the world. Meanwhile, through the child's Faustian friendship with the gangster, the boy finds himself at the center of attention and a superstar in gambling dens and gangster conventions, a kind of attention that intoxicates him. Jerry Zaks directs a tender production, supported by John Gromada's subtly nostalgic sound design, while Palminteri's skills at capturing and flipping to and fro among dozens of local denizens, including the leading players, provide much of the sharp edge to his story's sweet center. Wadsworth Theatre, on the Veterans Administration grounds, 11301 Wilshire Blvd., W.L.A.; Tues.-Fri., 8 p.m.; Sat., 2 & 8 p.m.; Sun., 3 & 7:30 p.m.; through Sept. 21.

GO THE HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES John Guare's 1971 farce looks gorgeous in the newly minted Mark Taper Forum — a venue now as fresh and plush as any in the city. The investment in the building, just now reopened after a year of remodeling, truly honors the work on the stage. This work, however, doesn't quite reciprocate. It does pack fire on many occasions, and that fire is fueled by the energetic interactions between John Pankow and Kate Burton as Artie Shaughnessy — a Queens zookeeper who's also an aspiring songwriter named Artie Shaughnessy — and his profoundly medicated wife, Bananas. With his thinning hair and mantra that he's too old to be a young talent, Pankow's lean and hyperactive Artie struts the stage and slides on to piano stools at the local Ed Dorado club and in his tawdry living room, with the grin of a used-car salesman and an unfettered desperation to be discovered. Oh, how he yearns to fly away to California, the way his old pal, movie director Billy Einhorm (Diedrich Bader) did. He shows a cavalier and abusive disregard for his wife — by flaunting his mistress, Bunny Flingus (Jane Kaczmarek), and making no secret of his plan to have Bananas institutionalized while he and Bunny realize their dreams together in California. Burton's Bananas is this production's centerpiece, mastering the skill of playing madness without showing madness. To the contrary, the world's vainglorious insanity swirls around her, which is Guare's point, while it's clear from her eyes that her task is to keep that lunacy, and the lunatics who run the world, at bay. Walking into this theater, I'd wondered what was the point of reopening the Taper with this college and regional theater hit of more than 30 years ago. Burton answers that question with her face and comportment — Bananas has come through shock treatments and must continue, with as much dignity as she can muster, to endure life's torments and insults to her obvious intelligence at the hands of the maniacs who govern her life. The farce is set in 1965, when the pope was visiting New York, yet Burton propels its significance forward to the election cycle of 2008. The fame that almost everyone but Bananas worships is almost beside the point — which is, vicious and rabid personal ambition while the world skids off its tracks. I shouldn't bring up Sarah Palin, but why not? Nicholas Martin's opulent production suspends a veneer of dark blue drapery over Artie's grimy Queens apartment (set by David Korins). This frames what's supposed to be an emotionally ribald play with a tempering ornateness, which may be partly responsible for muting the farce that should be literally explosive. Instead, the comedy feels at a remove, more amusing than hysterical, and more sad at play's close than horrific. I also couldn't grasp what the ragtime strains in Philip G. Allen's sound design had to do with any of this. The final reason for the unintended alienation may well be that Martin wasn't able to find the rhythms and textures among the supporting players. One can't really tell in a single glance. Mark Taper Forum, 135 N. Grand Ave., dwntwn., Sun., 6:30 p.m.; Tues.-Fri., 8 p.m.; Sat., 2:30 & 8 p.m.; through Oct. 19. (213) 628-2772.

A nibble here, a nosh there—Americans love to snack! But all those little tidbits can add up to more than a few unwanted pounds if we're not careful. Over the past half century, the number of calories the average American consumes during snack attacks has been growing steadily— along with our waistlines. According to research conducted by Richard Mattes, professor of foods and nutrition at Purdue University, Americans now get 25% of their daily calories from snacks. Since the 1970s, Dr. Mattes research shows that the average American's snack consumption has increased to about 580 calories per day, the equivalent of a full meal!

Adding vegetables to the grill is a delicious way to enjoy fresh produce and increase your veggie intake. As we learned in the previous post, vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, essential nutrients, disease-fighting antioxidants, and fiber. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that adults 60+ eat a minimum of 2 to 3 cups of vegetables per day. The grill offers a great summertime option for cooking vegetables.
Luscious ripe tomatoes, buttery lettuce, crunchy snap peas, curly-leafed kale, sugar-sweet carrots, and colorful peppers—row after row of wonderful, locally grown summer vegetables have begun lining the stalls of farmers' markets and local grocery displays. Succulent summer produce is just coming into season, offering a tempting array of nutritious veggies to punch up summer menus.
Packed with sweet, juicy flavor, fresh-picked berries are a refreshing and nutritious addition to summer meals. Berries are an excellent source of vitamin C, fiber, potassium, magnesium and other nutrients. Their dark, brightly-colored skins contain pytochemcials and flavonoids that may reduce cancer risk. Blueberries and cranberries help prevent bladder infections while blueberries and raspberries contain lutein, which promotes healthy vision. Now available at farmers' markets and grocery stores, fresh, ripe berries are a nutrient-rich choice for meals and snacks.
With so many kinds of vitamins and multiple ways to get them, it can be confusing as to what mature adults really need. A multivitamin may be a convenient way to make sure you are getting all your nutrients. But if you choose to add one to your diet, select one that provides no more than 100 percent of the Daily Values for at least most of the nutrients listed. Also, if you have recently been ill, had surgery or suffer from other health conditions, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian about taking vitamin or mineral supplements.

Robert Half to Acquire Andersen Risk Consulting Group
Arthur Andersen LLP has signed a letter of agreement with Robert Half International (RHI) arranging for the transfer to RHI of a "substantial majority" of the firm's partners and other employees of the firm's U.S. Business Risk Consulting Services group.
The Business Risk Consulting Services group offers services in areas of internal audit, technology risk consulting, and financial and commodity risk consulting. This group is separate from the firm's external audit and attestation services.
RHI will develop a new business unit to accommodate the transfer of Andersen employees.
"This transaction…will provide our people with career opportunities and our clients with continued quality service from respected professionals," said C.E. Andrews, managing partner of Andersen's audit practice.
Pending a finalization of the details of the plan, it is anticipated that the transfer of employees from Andersen to RHI will be completed by April 30, 2002.
RHI is a worldwide placement firm specializing in providing staffing in the fields of accounting, finance, and information technology professionals.

Voice of the Editor
Which isn't completely true. I mean, occasionally I drop by when I manage to sneak out of the nonstop frat party over at Going Concern, but I'm mostly a wallflower over there. I'm happy to say that I've been given express permission (or explicit orders, if you like) to wander over here to AccountingWEB more often.
Why is that, you might ask? My job is to replace the irreplaceable Gail Perry as Editor-in-Chief. What does that mean? I don't really know! I think it'll be fun getting a feel for things, throwing in my own thoughts here and there, and listening to the discussions you're having about the accounting profession.

Ashley Tisdale Shows Off Trendy Ripped Jeans at Charity Event
By Lillia Florian
Actress Ashley Tisdale went for a casual yet flirty look at Puma's Project Pink charity event in New York City. The event was held on Thursday, July 19, 2012, and was put together to raise awareness about breast cancer. Seen in photos on Daily Mail, Tisdale wore a sleeveless white T-shirt with the words "project pink" boldly displayed. She paired her charity shirt with a pair of snug-fit, acid-washed skinny jeans, which complemented her long, lovely legs. The jeans had a fashionable rip on one knee, which gave them a slight edge.
Tisdale wore suede, peep-toe, platform pumps for the occasion, and accessorized with a small ring, a large gold watch, and silver hoop earrings. She selected a fun, summery nail polish in the shade of bright coral, which has proved to be a popular trend this year. Her light blonde hair still had faint purple streaks, which were tucked under the rest of her hair.
She wore her hair styled in a middle part with glossy and subtle flowing waves, with a small amount of volume on the top. She went for a California-girl look with her makeup, opting for pearly light-pink lipstick and opalescent pink blush. Her eyebrows were finely trimmed and lightly colored in with a soft brown eyebrow pencil to add definition to her face. Ashley Tisdale wore a small amount of foundation and concealer for contouring, as well as a light, smoky, sienna eye shadow that brought out the lovely deep brown of her eyes.

I have never seen a coherent, rational argument as to why the network numbering on my internal network should be the same as the network numberingon the Internet. obviously you've never tried to write a distributed application in a NATted network. and presumably you never tried to do anything with UUCP mail (which had naming conflicts) or a large DECnet (which had address conflicts). the problems are immediately obvious to those of us who have had to deal with those disasters. in brief: one reason is so that apps can have the same view of the network regardless of whether they're hosted on your internal network, or on an external network, or on a combination of the two. it's MUCH simpler if apps don't have to worry about the fact that host A has address A1 from network X and address A2 from network Y. particularly since in a network with scoped addresses, hosts don't really have any way of knowing which network they're on. there are other reasons also: routing, coherent network management, DNS consistency. a network with scoped addressing is like a city where all of the streets have the same name. it becomes pretty difficult to navigate. People will still want to do NAT on IPv6. true. people do all kinds of evil things that break the net. our protocols will only work to the extent that people follow the specifications. when people start breaking things, the protocols and applications start failing. NAT is a good example. in ipv6, we can provide better ways of solving the problems that people think they're solving with NATs. if we fail to do that, or if people insist on using NATs anyway, we're screwed. but that's not a reason to give up without trying. either do something to help or get out of the way.

ABSTRACT: Application of coronary artery calcium (CAC) for stratifying coronary heart disease (CHD) risk may change the proportion of subjects eligible for risk reduction treatment and decrease cost-effectiveness of primary prevention. We therefore aimed to analyze the impact of CAC on CHD risk categorization. We measured CAC with electron beam computed tomography in 500 asymptomatic untreated hypercholesterolemic men and re-calibrated 10-year Framingham CHD risk by adding CAC score information (post CAC test risk) via an algorithm integrating relative risk and expected distribution of CAC in the population tested. Proportions of low (<10%), intermediate (10-20%) and high (>20%) risk categories, and of eligibility for lipid-lowering treatment, were compared between Framingham risk and post CAC test risk. In the overall population, post CAC test risk calculation changed risk categorization defined by Framingham assessment alone, with 10% more low risk and 10% less intermediate risk (p<0.01). Risk reclassifications were bidirectional since 30% of high and 30% of intermediate Framingham risk were downgraded to intermediate and low risk categories respectively, while 11% of low and 14% of intermediate Framingham risk were upgraded to intermediate and high-risk categories respectively. Post CAC test risk did not change the proportion of Framingham-based lipid-lowering treatment eligibility in the overall population but decreased it by 8% in intermediate Framingham risk subgroup (p<0.05). Addition of CAC to risk prediction resulted rather in downgrading than in upgrading risk and did not change treatment eligibility, except in intermediate risk subjects, less frequently eligible for treatment.International journal of cardiology 09/2011; 151(2):200-4. · 7.08 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We analyzed, in above-average risk asymptomatic individuals, the factors determining early thoracic aorta enlargement. Ascending aortic diameter (AAD) was measured with noncontrast multidetector computed tomography in 345 participants (mean age 56 years; 78% men) without cardiovascular disease. We analyzed the associations of AAD with risk factors and Framingham risk score (FRS), multidetector computed tomography-assessed coronary artery calcium (CAC), and ultrasound interrogation of plaque presence at five sites (right and left carotid arteries, right and left femoral arteries, and abdominal aorta), the number of diseased sites with presence of plaque being counted from 0 to 5. AAD was positively associated with age (P < 0.001), male sex (P < 0.01), body surface area (BSA; P < 0.001), hypertension (P < 0.001), systolic and diastolic blood pressures in individuals without antihypertensive medication (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and FRS (P < 0.001). AAD was positively associated with CAC score after adjusting for age, sex, and BSA (P < 0001) or for FRS and BSA (P < 0.001). AAD was higher in the presence of three, four, or five than in the presence of no, one, or two diseased sites with plaque, after adjusting for age, sex, and BSA (P < 0.05) or for FRS and BSA (P < 0.001). When participants were divided into subsets by AAD tertiles and by number of sites with plaque, FRS and CAC score were greatest in individuals with AAD top tertile and 3-5 sites with plaque and lowest in those with AAD bottom tertile and 0-2 sites with plaque (P < 0.001). These findings suggest that thoracic ascending aorta dilatation is related to hypertension and represents a part of a generalized atherosclerotic process of the entire vasculature.Journal of hypertension 10/2010; 28(10):2134-8. · 4.02 Impact Factor

Apple Fever
The new iPhone 5 went on sale in the U.S. Friday. From new products to new stores, see past incidences of Apple fever.
First in line at London's Covent Garden Apple store, Ryan Williams celebrated with store employees as he entered to buy his iPhone 5. Reuters
The combined cost of the components for the iPhone 5 is estimated at $197, or only $9 more than for the iPhone 4S, Arik Hesseldahl reports on digits. Photo: Getty Images.
Yet Apple was able to take advantage of lower costs on other components and kept its overall component expenses just slightly higher.
That was the conclusion of an analysis conducted by the research firm IHS on Friday.
The firm estimated the combined cost of the components for the iPhone 5, what is known as a bill of materials, at $197, or only $9 more than for the iPhone 4S. The iPhone 5, is Apple's first to work on high-speed fourth-generation cellular networks, using the Long-Term Evolution technological standard.
The consumer price of the iPhone 5 is the same as for the 4S, $199 for the base model with a new two-year contract. Without a contract, the model sells for $649. Carriers typically subsidize the full price of phones for their customers.
"Most other phones built for LTE had much bigger displays, and everything else inside them got oversized," said Wayne Lam, who worked on the IHS analysis. "That pushed the material costs higher." Apple's Retina Display on the iPhone 5 is the same width as the display on the 4S and about a half-inch longer.
Apple, which is based in Cupertino, Calif., declined to comment.

Other components have gotten less expensive in the past year. The costs for the iPhone's battery, memory chips and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips dropped a combined $20, according to IHS estimates.
Samsung Semiconductor Inc. appears to have lost ground with Apple. Samsung continues to manufacture the A6 processor, the iPhone 5's main computing engine, based on Apple's design. But Samsung's memory chips weren't seen in iPhone 5s that have been disassembled, as they were in previous iPhone models.
Mr. Lam said that could indicate a decision by Apple not to buy memory from Samsung, the world's biggest supplier of flash memory chips, amid continuing patent litigation between Apple and the chip maker's parent.

World OfTwitter And That'sfun-twitter
Twitter is a lot more than just Twitter.com. Through its powerful API, there are a whole host of Twitter clients like Twhirl and Twitterrific (also a mobile client) and add-ons that extend the usefulness of Twitter far beyond 140-character messages.
Many people prefer using these clients to Twitter.com, and they can be a handy way to monitor multiple accounts at once. Clients like Tweetdeck make it easy to stay on top of trends (and it?s a pretty good client for sending out tweets).
There are also several fantastic mobile clients for Twitter as well (I use TwitterFon on my iPhone). I even have an iPhone app dedicated to just monitoring keyword terms like beat blogging and beatblogging (not the same term).
For journalists, the ability to search Twitter is huge. Any journalist on Twitter should bookmarksearch.twitter.com. You can use this service to grab an RSS feed of terms you want to follow (earlier this week Etan Horowitz talked about the power of this).
Here are some of the key areas Webbmedia?s tip sheet goes over:
Basics ? If you?re new to twitter, this tip sheet explains some terms and symbols that may perplex you, like # hashtags and why people use @ all the time.
Utilities ? There are many Twitter utilities that extend the capabilities of Twitter, like the ability to post your tweets on a blog or to Facebook.
Clients ? Some people like using Twitter.com, while others swear by one of the many clients available for Twitter. It?s all personal choice. Many of the clients are free too. The only downside is that there is a limit to how often you can get updates on a client.
Trends and analysis ? You?ll be amazed at what kinds of trends you can spot with Twitter, from the most popular words and topics to the most posted URLs.
Search ? There is more than just the official search.twitter.com. Different search engines have different focuses and different strengths.
People relationship management ? One of the best tools when you get started on twitter is Twubble. It will help you find people to follow. The key to success on Twitter is building a good network.
Why would you want to get more Twitter followers? What purpose does it serve? And what steps should you take to increase your Twitter followers? These are questions often asked by normal users, brands and business owners who not only see Twitter as a means of social interaction but an effective marketing platform.
You?re interested in increasing your Twitter followers. You want more people reading your updates. It?s not difficult to build a prominent profile but I think it?s important to start with the right understanding. This is the first thing you need to know: It?s not really about how you tweet, what you say or who you talk to but who you are.
There have been several articles on the topic of growing your Twitter presence: many of them focus on teaching you how to use Twitter by providing value in order to increase your Twitter following. While good points were made, I want to offer my perspective on this topic.
Take a look at this list of Twitter users with the most followers and you?ll see that almost everyone on it is famous or well known for reasons other than Twitter. For example, you?ll notice that the top 10 users are mainly all people who own popular websites/businesses and brands or have established a reputation through their involvement in different activities.

My text messages lately have been delivered late (or not at all), or else they fail to download. Coincidentally, AT&T Message service does not seem to be available on the internet (via laptop). Is the Message service down? If so, when will AT&T address the issue and fix it?

Finally, I have been an AT&T customer since I got my first cell phone almost 10 years ago. In all that time, my customer service experience has been great and my cell phone issues minimal. However, I recently had an incredibly negative experience where I was treated like a not-so-smart person, instead of being treated like what I am - a well paying, loyal customer. How in the world did I blow through over 1 GB of data in one day when I was both attached to my personal Wi-Fi and not using the phone (with all appropriate data saving measures in place for each app)?! Instead of looking for internal errors or solutions, I was told to do exactly what I had already established to manage data usage. Thank you AT&T customer service for making it clear what others have been complaining about all these years.

Complaints of too much homework leads to change in District 102 language program
LA GRANGE PARK – An hour of foreign language homework per week was too much for District 102 fifth- and sixth-graders last year.
The district revamped its World Language Program for the 2012-13 school year by incorporating the Rosetta Stone language-learning program into its curriculum. The software is used by students at home to supplement in-school Spanish instruction and by students learning English.
Based on research that says students need two hours of language study per week to achieve proficiency, the district last year provided one hour of in-class Spanish instruction each week and assigned one hour of weekly homework, partly using Rosetta Stone. The program allows students to speak into a microphone and offers feedback on their pronunciation.

INDIANAPOLIS As former South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore made his way through a scrum of reporters Friday at Lucas Oil Stadium, the scars of a pair of lost seasons were visible on each of his knees.
The last time he was on a football field, Lattimore was writhing in pain after being sandwiched between two Tennessee defenders last fall. Television replays showed Lattimore's right knee gruesomely twisting in a way that tore three major ligaments, dislocated the knee and left his future very much in doubt.
Lattimore's sophomore season in 2011 also was cut short when he tore the ACL in his left knee.
Such a devastating sequence would have prompted many athletes to call it a career or, at least left them weary about taking another hit.
Not Lattimore.
When he plays again – it is not an "if" in his mind – Lattimore vowed he would not be afraid.
"No, not at all," he said. "I've been hit 2,000 times and that happened twice. So not even thinking about it."
Lattimore's injuries and comeback attempt have prompted an outpouring of support. Tennessee players joined South Carolina's team in huddling around Lattimore at Williams-Brice Stadium, and Georgia coach Mark Richt led his team in a prayer for Lattimore.
But it's more than people feeling sorry for Lattimore, who grew up near Spartanburg, S.C. His humility and good-natured personality have affected people across the globe.
He's received get-well cards from every corner of the country and from as far away as South America. An elementary school in Kentucky took a picture of its students forming a No. 21 – Lattimore's jersey number – and mailed it to him.
"The whole school full of students, that really touched me," Lattimore said. "They say that in the end, it's not about football, it's about the person you are. So that touched me."
But the NFL is a cold business. And at the scouting combine Friday, it was all about football and Lattimore's health.
Before meeting with the media, Lattimore spent four hours getting checked out by doctors for all 32 teams. Usually, six physicians examine prospects in physicals that last no more than two hours.
"I think it went very well because a lot of guys were surprised by how strong my quads were and how strong my hamstrings were and how tight my ligaments were," Lattimore said. "I think it went pretty good."
"They are investing a lot of money into you," Lattimore added. "So I understand the process and why they have to make sure everything is OK and everything is progressing."
Renowned sports orthopedic James Andrews has said Lattimore is ahead of the normal recovery time and believes he can play this season.
Former Panthers general manager Bill Polian walked to the stadium Friday morning with Andrews, who raved about Lattimore.
"He said he's as good a patient as he's ever had, as good a kid as he's ever met – bright, active, willing to do anything and everything to succeed," said Polian, now an ESPN analyst. "Those are all great things. But God made everybody differently. A.P. (Adrian Peterson) is unique."
Polian said comparisons between Lattimore and Peterson – or any player who has come back from knee surgeries – are unfair because people heal differently. After tearing his ACL in December 2011, Peterson returned last season to rush for 2,097 yards, 9 short of Eric Dickerson's single-season record.
Peterson also scored 12 touchdowns and averaged six yards per carry.
Lattimore has been rehabbing at Andrews' facility in Pensacola, Fla., alongside Giants cornerback Terrell Thomas, who is attempting to come back from three ACL tears.
"I have to think about my future, I have to think about long term," Lattimore said. "Rushing back may not be the best thing to do. If I'm ready, I'm ready."
NFL Network draft expert Mike Mayock said Lattimore likely fell from a late-first round pick to a third-rounder because he probably won't be productive until 2014.
"It really doesn't matter where I get drafted because I'm going to do what I do," Lattimore said. "I'm going to do what I've been doing my whole career and that's just being myself."
Despite his abbreviated college career, Lattimore owns South Carolina's all-time touchdowns record with 41 and finished sixth all-time in rushing with 2,677 yards.
Lattimore said when he was injured again, he couldn't help wondering what might have been – initially, at least.
"The day after it happened, of course, but I don't think about that anymore," he said. "It happened for a reason, and the reason was for me to come back and inspire a lot of people."

The Becoming is a free ongoing comic that updates every Mondays. It is written by J. Alan Shelton and illustrated by Douang Khamsitthisack.
Each "volume" of the comic is best thought of as a series/season of a television series in that, while adding to the overall mythology, each volume also has it's own unique story arc with a definitive beginning, middle and end.
The Becoming is the story of a young orphan named Oscar LeBeau who becomes the ward and apprentice of the woman who made him that way: Jeannine Delacroix, a Disciple of the Church of Bellac. The two find their fates entwined as they weather the political and religious climate of Bellac, ultimately defining the distinct roles they each will come to play in the world's ultimate salvation or it's destruction.
Start Reading the Comic here thebecomingcomic.com
7 / 22 / 2012 - I will soon be returning to the comic and would like to thank J. for his hard work in keeping the comic going while I was gone and a BIG Thank you to all you wonderful readers for your continued support.

In an attempt to get a look into targeting methods used by political campaigns this election season, investigative journalism non-profit ProPublica launched a new project yesterday seeking to collect campaign emails and draw conclusions from their variations. The project is called Message Machine and aims to eventually collect enough data to publish an interactive feature that ProPublica says "will show you exactly how the campaigns are using your personal information to deliver each message."
Message Machine comes on the heels of an earlier project with the same name. The earlier version looked at just one email from the Obama campaign and found six different variations in a sample of under 200 recipients. The variations, according to ProPublica, included "some interesting demographic targeting"
The current project is far more robust than the original and will look at all campaign emails, even those coming from Super PACs. "We've never actually done anything like this before," ProPublica's Jeff Larson said in an interview yesterday. "In terms of scope, I don't think we've ever done a project that impacts quite so many people." The hope is to find more interesting trends.
The concept of using large amounts of data to target voters is a fairly new one, but not something major campaigns have shied away from. The Obama campaign has a job posting on KDNuggets.com which does not beat around the bush. The ad tells prospective candidates that their team will examine terabytes of data to help "determine which voters to target for turnout and persuasion efforts, where to buy advertising and how to best approach digital media."
To Larson, it's important that the public be made aware of the methods campaigns are using to reach them. "That political campaigns are using the techniques of advertising to optimize their message is something that the public should certainly be aware of," said Larson.
You can follow the project's progress, or join it yourself, here.

Tajama Abraham Ngongba had a 62-85 record over five seasons with the Highlanders.
Thursday, March 14, 2013
After five years of the Tajama Abraham Ngongba women's basketball coaching administration, Radford University fired her Thursday afternoon.
She was in the fifth year of a five-year contract for $105,000 a year that the university opted not to renew, athletic director Robert Lineburg said.
"I would like to thank Coach Ngongba for her efforts in the past five seasons leading the Radford women's basketball program," Lineburg said. "At this time, however, I feel it is in the best interest of the program to seek new leadership."
Radford lost 54-51 to Longwood in the semifinals of last week's Big South Conference tournament to finish the season 16-14. That brought her career record to 62-85. The Highlanders were 9-9 in the conference for the second straight year. This year, that was good for sixth place and last season tied for fifth.
During Ngongba's tenure, Radford finished no higher in the conference than tied for second in 2010-11 with an 11-5 record, 14-16 overall. Ngongba was chosen Big South coach of the year that season. Overall, Radford was 43-41 in regular season conference games while she was coach.
This year's team included six seniors and two 1,000-point career scorers in De'Naria Erwin Spencer (1,346) and Wytheville's Ashley Buckhannon (1,141). Spencer ended a troubled career at Radford after being kicked off the team prior to the tournament for an undisclosed violation of team rules. She had already been suspended seven games earlier in the season for another undisclosed violation of team rules.
Lineburg was unspecific about particular causes for Ngongba's downfall other than to say it was "her general body of work."
Ngongba is the all-time scoring leader at George Washington University (2,134 points) and a former professional player in the WNBA and in Europe. Her coaching career included stints as an assistant at her alma mater GW as well as VCU and Richmond. Radford was her first head coaching job at the collegiate level. She's also coached the Senior National team for the U.S. Virgin Islands, of which she is a native.
Assistant coaches Felicia Hardy, Danielle Dawson, and Victoria Best will be paid to the end of their contract in July, Lineburg said.
A national search will ensue. The position will be advertised at once.
"We think this is a very good job that will get a lot of interest," Lineburg said.

NUTROGRUB is an amazing improvement of our successful BUG GRUB and GRUB GRUB products. It is very palatable to insects and has produced fantastic results in increased calcium level by gut loading mealworrms and crickets.
gut-loading calcium
Our Vet and Managing Director Peter Scott FRCVS has enjoyed working with falconers for over 30 years and Vetarks products have been widely used by them.
In general young growing birds need the extra calcium and vitamin D3 in Nutrobal, and for adults we generally recommend Arkvits/Avimix. As a diet day-old-chicks are not brilliant (!) they are often poor calcium sources.
Ark-Klens is simply great as a non-scented cleanser disinfectant for routine use in the mews, or Tamodine E as a terminal disinfectant if you have had problems.
Carrying a bottle of Tamodine Wound dressing is sensible when working birds. And those lunatics like the one on the left should also have a cohesive bandage available. These are ideal for 'trussing up' birds if they have been injured.

The Magpies have been heavily linked with the French international of late, and were believed to have been close to agreeing a deal for his signature just a few weeks ago.
However, with Loic Remy having finalised a season-long loan deal Newcastle's eagerness to force through a move has cooled.
Reports claim that the North East side are still in the hunt for the 28-year-old, but their chances of concluding a transfer have reduced significantly after Garde said that a contract extension is in place for Gomis.
"He has had a contract extension proposition in his hands for months," Garde told L'Equipe.
"I have no personal problem with Bafe. I am waiting for an outcome. We have to find a solution that could satisfy three parties.
"The most important thing is to have opened doors as the chairman did."
Gomis' future with the Ligue 1 giants has been unclear all summer, with the club having admitted that they could be forced to sell due to financial difficulties on numerous occasions.
But, their stance has altered recently, with chairman Jean-Michel Aulas declaring his desire to keep the attacker.
Newcastle fans, do you need Bafetimbi Gomis? Or will Loic Remy and Papiss Cisse supply the goals you need?
Join the debate below!
We unfortunately have two opposing forces at this club
Fans with expectation and an owner with apathy.
Ireallly fear for the club I have supported since the fifties.

This beautiful course, located in the countryside, features a flowing river coming into play on seven holes. The terrain is rolling, and the tree-lined, watered fairways are bordered by a standard cut of rough. There are only a few sand bunkers on the course. The signature hole is #7, a 450-yard, par 4, requiring an accurate tee shot up a slight dogleg right fairway, then a long approach shot to a green framed by large trees.

This Course was a very long one to walk but it was very nice. The water didn't pose too much of a problem on too many of the hole. |

It's amazing what a little Photoshop can do to a picture. I always thought this was a recent phenomenon, but I guess I never really put much thought into why pin-up girls always looked so damn fabulous. Seems to me like these images were Photoshopped before Photoshop even existed. Before airbrushing there was paint brushing! Either way these gorgeous ladies are working it! We absolutely love these photos here at BUST. Enjoy!
