August 6, 2011 Mobile SMS Featured at DMA2011 [DMA11]
SMS marketing is the latest strategy in the integrated marketing toolkit. As the number of cellphones, smartphones and hand-held devices skyrocket, its importance to marketers will also increase dramatically. The benefits of text message marketing include unparalleled reach, high read and redemption rates, speed, control and cost-effectiveness. Direct marketing professionals will be heading to Boston this October to attend DMA2011 so they can get the information they need to capitalize on this rapidly expanding marketing medium and how to integrate it seamlessly into their marketing mix.
Advertising by SMS (short message service) has become a legitimate marketing channel, up 128% in the last two years alone. Advertisers and marketers can now reach millions of consumers of all demographics through their phones. The campaigns that perform the best, however, are those with a targeted call to action. SMS marketing offers a variety of ways to communicate with a target market beyond simple messaging. As the technology continues to improve, marketers can now reach consumers through text messaging, mobile browsers, apps and SMS. The messages can be combined with activities such as a poll or game to engage consumers and draw them in. Once consumers are engaged, they can be directed to a mobile website, provided with a coupon, or given a click-to-call telephone number.
Mobile marketing ROI may still be tough to measure, but metrics are constantly emerging. Beyond simply measuring responses to a survey or coupons that are redeemed, marketers are working to determine how to put a dollar figure to these responses. They're trying to assess the value of somebody instantly reading a message, and working to convert club memberships and loyalty rewards into data so that managers have actionable information on which to base decisions.
Because Mobile SMS has such significant potential in integrated marketing, DMA2011 will put plenty of emphasis on it to help attendees find the answers they need. A panelist discussion at Sunday's Master Class will cover "Fast Forward: Mobile's Next Big Push." Topics covered at Ask the Expert Roundtables include "Mobile Search Advertising & the Importance of Data in Understanding Customer Intent" and "Mobile Marketing: What's Working, What's Not & What's Coming?" During the concurrent sessions, the Mobile track will feature presentations on mobile, mobile devices, and location-based services that provide marketers with unsurpassed opportunities to reach out directly to where their audience is at any given time. A Mobile Marketing Certification Workshop covers the fundamentals of mobile marketing and incorporates hands-on exercises and real-world case studies to help attendees apply their acquired knowledge immediately. And the Mobile Marketing Hot Spot Pavilion on the exhibit floor will feature displays, exhibits, 1:1 consultations, multimedia presentations and opportunities to exchange ideas throughout the day with leaders in the mobile marketing eco-system.
Over 10,000 attendees will discover the latest in integrated marketing and mobile SMS at this year's DMA2011 Conference & Exhibition, October 1-6 in Boston - the global event for real-time marketers. Don't miss the opportunity to find out how to use this dynamic marketing opportunity to your greatest advantage.

ZeroHedge today catches the Bank for International Settlements admitting and then trying to cover up its services to member central banks in surreptitiously manipulating the gold market, work the BIS was positively advertising a few years ago in a promotional brochure for prospective central bank members that GATA brought to your attention in February:
ZeroHedge's report notes the lately much-shortened biography offered for BIS foreign exchange and gold trader Mikael Charoze, who until a few days ago boasted of running the BIS' foreign exchange and gold "interventions." Missing from Charoze's biography now is the latter word. Does that mean that the BIS doesn't do gold market interventions anymore? Whatever it means, you can be sure that mainstream financial news organizations and know-it-all market analysts won't be asking even as they ridicule complaints of surreptitious gold market intervention as mere "conspiracy theory" -- even when the "conspiracy" is admitted over and over again in official documents:
The ZeroHedge commentary is headlined "BIS FX/Gold 'Intervention' Profiles -- Before And After" and it's posted here:

WATCH: How To Do The Perfect Ponytail, The Dad Way
If we've learned anything from commercials, it's that dads can be pretty clueless. They never know how to fold clothes, they bumble their way around changing a baby's diaper, and are generally confused about that contraption called a "dishwasher". So we aren't surprised that ponytails, the very simplest of hairstyles, could have the average father a little stumped. But don't worry dad: Redditors to the rescue!

King George wasn´t the only one with a tyrannical government.Americans need to be vigilant with the current government.The first and second amendments are under attack right now, Obamacare is UNconstitutional, no matter what John Roberts has to say.We have a dysfunctional government.
The British are not coming but obama and his minions are!
So is John Lewis in favor of the police, in riot gear, forcibly disarming black gang members with their illegal guns? Is is this just against white people with legally owned guns?
The threat is from within. The Constitution was written to protect us from both foreign and domestic threats.
Old Fool!
Nowadays, the guns aren´t for the Brits. They´re for protection from folks like you Johnny.
"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."Lewis (once again) makes a great case for term limits.
YOU have hit the BULLSEYE Award #4...you are right on spot. And any government official that tries to dismantal the constitution in any way or form falls right into the catagory of the Brits back then in my book. Against ALL enemies foriegn AND DOMESTIC!
The colonies needed the guns to rid themselves of a tyrannical government who was imposing laws and taxes without the consent of the governed.There´s a lesson there somewhere!
We don´t need you either Lewis, but your adoring constituents continue to burden us with your presence in Washington....!!!
Tell that to the heroes of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, you short sighted statist thug!
Lewis is proof you don´t have to be smart to get elected into Congress. He is nothing more than a Sharpton/Jackson race hustler and he makes a fool of himself every time he opens his mouth. This being NO exception.
The worry is not about the British but the voters who continue to elect this clown
From now on I think I´ll respond to each and every single asinine opinion, comment, proposal, rant, and general utterance from the lunatic left with a short expletive instead of an intelligent and thoughtful dialog.After all, that´s all it´s worth and they aren´t interested in hearing anything intelligent or engage in a real discussion in the first place.
Okay, you first. Get rid of your guns, Rep. Lewis, and disarm the Capitol Police. Once you see how that goes, you can make a judgment.
The looters who put this clown in office are the same type that put Obama, Cynthia McKinney, Shirley Jackson Lee, Corynne Brown and others like them into office.The republic is not doing well. Zimbabwe, move over.
And besides, it is not a matter of NEED, it is a matter of want...it is our right to decide what we want as free individuals.
What we don´t need, Rep. Lewis, are all these irresponsible people littering the landscape with broken, fatherless families... of all races. And we don´t need more ghoulish, fat-cat, opportunistic gun-grabbers like yourself.
Amazing that he says this now, where is he on all the gang killings in the cities?
From Atlanta:Eric Erikson pointed out in his radio program tonight that the "Slavery" Amemdments, 14th etc, had companion laws passed to specifically allow Black ex-slaves to own guns to protect their homes.John had a memory lapse.
What we no longer need John ,is parasitic growths as you on the body politic.Retire old fool.
John Lewis from GA - and I now have a gun to protect myself from all your ´kind´ that are robbing and thieving and killing in my county. The county turned minority, and with that, came all the crime and scum.What used to be the top 2 highschools in the entire state, now don´t even rate. All because of minority infestation.Sorry, but I grow more weary and tired of John Lewis´s kind spewing stuff all the time.Get over it! Comments like these from Lewis make me despise them more.
The thugs are coming dumbass.
Lewis meets the two requirements for office that his constituents look for.1. He is a democrat2. He´s blackThats it ........Intelligence is not required. Which defines at least half the democrat party
Actually, ´´Freedom Isn´t ´Free,´´ Rep. Lewis, but must always be protected & defended! -Remember your oath of office?! This is a country of laws based upon Constitutional principles for securing & maintaining Life and Liberty. The Founders in their Wisdom secured the Bill of Rights for each INDIVIDUAL American. Self defense is basic for each individual´s freedom. ...Look it up!Since the Civil War ended in 1865, why does Lewis´s dem party, currently led by 0bama, use rhetoric more suited to at least 150 years ago than in the here-and-now twenty-first century?!! ...What´s up with THAT, Rep. Lewis? The dems & 0bama preach, ´´FORWARD,´´ but they seem stuck in history from ages past. Sometimes 0bama gets up to the ´30s and all that union rhetoric, but that is about as recent as he ever gets. mmm mmm mmm
When bad things happen the liberal response is always to tax, ban, or regulate. Their hope is that people will be too heartbroken to notice they´re more poor, less free, and increasingly burdened with a behemoth government that still can´t keep bad things from happening.
No, the Brits learned their lesson, but the SEIU, New Black Panthers, Occupier scum and other leftist groups advocating and inciting violence against us may be a different matter entirely. We see it and hear it every day.There. I said it.
Ironically, the first gun control laws were aimed at blacks...
John Lewis, this is not your right to take away our freedom. How dare you?
This is the liar who claimed protesters called him names when they did not. Besides being an outright liar, he is an oath breaker who should be impeached for not defending the constitution. Too bad lying and taking an oath aren´t what they used to be, but that is how progressives want it.
Lewis is on Obama´s side. I´m not.
The Brits aren´t coming but that type of tyranny is. We fought against Britain for far less than what is being pushed down our throats today. God help us.
Worse than the British -- the Progressives are coming with their Union SS thugs and graduates of the Joseph Goebbels school of "truth" -- Matthews, Krugman, Friedman, Carney, Reid, Pelosi, et al.
Apparently John Lewis is coming and I don´t want him.
What we don´t need are ignorant, indoctrinated Representatives in Congress. I tell you what John, why don´t you just wait and let Tim Scott give you a lesson in history and the 2nd amendment? You´ll find this country´s history began long before the civil rights era.
Rep. Lewis (D-Guam), be a leader. Encourage the black community to be the first to turn in their guns.
Two questions for Rep. Lewis:1) After you repeal the 2nd Amendment, which one are you going after next?2) How can you reconcile your desire to throw out the Constitution with your sworn oath of office to defend that Constitution?
Compared to Obama, Lewis George III was a prince. At least he didn´t want to destroy the country like this low-class, lying motherpuncher...
The fascist and socialist tyrants are already here - and in the WH and Senate leadership. That is why we need all these guns.
Lewis is a fraud.
John has been riding on MLK´s coattails for a long time.Why aren´t all of the race baiters in Chicago protesting black on black crime ?
He´s not riding on anyone´s coattails. He´s a genuine civil rights hero in his own right - an American hero. Not that I´ve ever voted for him, but he´s my congressman and he´s come up with a catchy line here.It would be wonderful to find a non-leftist to replace him, but in this district - fat chance!
The British aren´t coming but if Barry and his demonrats have their way, the muslims sure are. The only thing deterring them is the same thing which deterred the Japanese --a gun behind every blade of grass.
MOLON LABE Lewie baby MOLON LABE
Mr. Lewis, Americans need guns to protect themselves from the roving gangs of black youth, for starters. What percentage of crimes are committed by black men? Clean up the sorry mess in your own back yard.
As that scared-witless woman and her two kids found out in suburban Atlanta last weekend - ´´The Obama Voters are Coming!"While former military, I don´t have a functional weapon in the house but am now shopping for a Mossberger 500 short-barrel (the home-defense package).

You have a painting and decorating job and you need a recommended decorator or painter to do it.
Rated People is here to help:
Get the recommended painter / decorator you need with Rated People. Simply let us know about your project in the form above and we'll do the rest.
Painting and decorating is a great way of giving a room a lift. You don't have to splash out a lot to create a more luxurious, dramatic or even an understated but classic look.
Painters and decorators are there not only to apply the paint or wallpaper but to advise on what you should go for to achieve the look you want. If you're stuck, they'll also be able to offer design advice and show you past work for inspiration.
Different painting effects:
Plastic bagging or cellophane painting
This effect is achieved by using the paint of your choice thinned out with a transparent glaze. After applying the base coat and leaving it to dry, get a friend to apply the glazed paint ahead of you whilst you go over the glaze with a plastic bag gradually dabbing the glaze to reveal the base coat underneath. To create an even effect, make sure you keep the plastic bag nicely crumpled.
Similar to cellophane painting, this technique uses a flat brush or rag and is achieved by applying gentle pressure to the glaze top-coat and using circular motion to create a cloudy effect.
Sponging on and sponging off are two great techniques for creating wall texture. Sponging off can create a basic reproduction of granite or marble. Sponging on is more effective when you use several colours and layer up the effect.
If you're not ready to post your job yet, don't worry, we've got lots more information on the site to help you make the right choices and know what to do when you're ready to find a painter or decorator.
Decorating your home can be a lengthy and time consuming process. While some people prefer to do it themselves, it's often worth hiring a painter and decorator to carry out the work for you. This is especially true if you lead a busy life or don't feel confident that you can do a good job of home decorating yourself.
A professional painter and decorator can not only get the job done quickly to minimise the amount of upheaval in your daily life, but they can also ensure that it is done properly. Whether you want a single room repainted or wallpapered or are planning on extensive redecoration throughout the whole house, a skilled decorator can work to your specifications and get the job done. As well as actually carrying out the work, they can also give you advice and help with choosing colours and decorating styles.
As with many other trades, the price given for home decorating and painter jobs can vary greatly, as can the experience of the decorator. Before settling on one, be sure to get a selection of painting quotes and feedback from previous clients so that you're choosing the best painter and decorator for your specific needs.
A good painter and decorator will have an in-depth knowledge of his trade, and will know many techniques that can make your home look unique. A vibrant mottled finish for example can be created using a number of different colours, and the 'sponging' technique. Wood graining effects can also be created, giving a natural and airy feel to a room.
Some painters can also paint artistic murals on walls, which can look great in a child's bedroom and add a little extra fun to the d?cor.
If you're looking for local painters and painting quotes for your home decorating project, simply submit your job today!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the place, the lady in charge of everything was very helpful and friendly and fluent in English (eg we got a reservation for the Uffizi and good advice of what to do in the city). It is located very close to the central trainstation and a good place to start exploring the city! We would recommend the place to all our friends and we would also come back :O!

Yo! M back with another Boys Vs. Girl battle!
Last year, Girls won this awesome game and now lets see if boys can beat girls this time!
Girls - 1 | 0 - Boys
Well, In this game there is gonna be a great battle between Boys and Girls.
Here, what boys gotta do is to add 1 number to 500 (and make it 501) and keep adding 1's.. if they reached 1000, they'll win !!
Girls would have to stop the boys from reaching 1000 by subtracting 1 number from the number, numbers are being added to and keep subtracting till the no. reaches 0. For example :
(Boys) Evan = 501
Deryck = 502
Matt = 503
(then a girl interrupted and subtracted 1 no.)
Avril = 502
(another girl posted) Alanis = 501
and so on...
BOYS ! DON'T LET GIRLS SUBTRACT the no. AND MAKE IT 0 !!
GIRLS ! DON'T LET BOYS ADD NO.s AND MAKE no. 1000 !!
Girls! Lets show boys that HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

As a new parents, my wife and I are constantly looking for products to make our son's transition of growing up a little easier on us :) and at 6 months old this cup has offered the solution that 10 other cups couldn't. Our breastfeed baby, wouldn't take pumped milk or water from a bottle so we have recently tried differt cups. This cup in particular offers a flexible straw that isn't difficult to drink from, and has yet to spill or leak any fluid when tipped or moved like a rattle. The weight and shape of the product offer a baby friendly item to hold as he continues to develop his fine motor skills. Easy maintenance, simply twist and remove cap and staw for complete access to clean hard to reach spots. I would get this cup in a heart beat and recommend it to my closest friends.

I don't know the person designed the cup sipped liquids in this cup. It is not rocket science to design a sippy cup. I normally save receipts, but i trashed it thinking what can go wrong1. It spills2. very slow suction. you get very little liquid. my son gets bored drinking from it3. Third and mainly, you have to throw almost half the bottle of liquid as you can't pull from the straw. (Did the desiner or testers checked it?). I hate to waste stuff

Cute Cup
By Lovemy2babies
from Bossier City
Bought this for my son. He loves anything monster's! I thought this would be a perfect addition to the monster's plate and bowl we already have.
worst for leaks
By mom
from east brookfield, ma
These cups are horrible. The liquid leaked out the sides every time my kid went to take a drink. If he shook it liquid went everywhere. The second u put the covers on the liquid shot up an out the straw.
a straw my daughter won't pull out!
By Pandamom
from Honolulu, HI
About Me Parent, Thrifty
My daughter loves to pull straws out of cups then pour the water out. Normally she likes a cup that looks like ours, but the design on this one is enough to distract her. The only things I don't like about it is 1) it doesn't fit in any of out cup holders (car, stroller, high chair) and 2) can't see how you'd be able to remove straw for a thorough cleaning
Great product. Anti-spill works great.
By Raul G
from Chico, CA
It's a very good product. Soft and colorful. Got it for my baby, but still he needs to learn to sip from a straw. Great product to teach him how to.
Cute but it leaks
By nyefam5
from KS
We bought this cup because we had forgot to bring one with us and my kids love Monsters Inc. However, it didn't end up working for us because we needed one that didn't leak. I still use this at home but will never use in the car again. The drink leaks out through the horns on the lid. The Mike cup we got doesn't but the Sully cup does. Otherwise it is a good cup.
Monsters inc cup
By Sulley
from Dover Delaware
I bought this cup for my son and he loved it because it was monsters inc. The cup itself is cute but the problem is no matter how tight I put the kid on it leaked all over my floor.

Then my mom wanted to check it and during the process she pressed something and made the power supply exploade some more, which lead into having smoke in my entire room. I immediately shut down the electricity in my room, then removed all the cables which were connected to my PC and widely open the windows.
Today I searched all over the places to get a new source and luckily I got one which is far more better than what I have although that one resisted for about 5 years, which is good.
I should have submitted by now something but as my PC died on me I couldn't work on any of my current drawings, because my HDD can't be connected to my mom's PC.
The smell of the oil inside the power supply that brunt (surprisingly didn't expect it to have some oil in it) still smells and it smells like a brand of snacks that stopped being produced in my country a few years ago. Makes me hungry everytime I enter the room.
This is it for now! Take care!

Loyola MAROON LOYOLA UNIVERSITY / NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA / VOLUME LVI, NUMBER 3 / SEPTEMBER 22, 1978 Refugees spark ESL program By Barbara Solomon and Paul Dusseault The recent influx of Indo-Chinese refugees to the southern portions of Louisiana has marked a gap in the New Orleans public school system. Instructors trained in teaching Indo-Chinese students are in great demand. Presently Loyola offers the only certification in Louisiana of English as a Second Language (ESL). The program is offered to senior education students who wish to work with students whose first language is not English. The ESL specialist would not replace the English teacher. He would instead provide supplemental academic assistance to students who have specific problems arising from trouble with a new language and culture. ESL training makes the teacher familiar with the culture and linguistic features of the student. Comparative study of the language, phonology, and cultural characteristics are stressed in training. Paulette Swartzfager, who is Loyola's ESL instructor, explained a typical problem with instructing Vietnamese. "Many Indo-Chinese refugees have studied English in Vietnam," she points out. "The difficulty is to teach them to be sensitive to what features don't correspond to the language of English and what cultural characteristics may be alike or different." The ESL program at Loyola consists of a series of seven courses totaling 24 credit hours. These courses entail an overview of the Indo-Chinese culture, special methods of teaching, a look at special tools and materials the teacher may use, and laboratory-environment teaching with ESL students. Teachers who successfully complete the requirements for certification are proficient in teaching specific categories of students rather than a specific academic subject. Demand for such specialists is great in the New Orleans area, where 7,500 Indo- Chinese refugees now live. The New Orleans public school system is presently dealing with the large number of Indo- Chinese students by assigning teacher aides to their regular faculty. These aides were teachers in Vietnam and most are refugees themselves. The problem is these teacher aides are not certified. Many were certified in Vietnam, but have no documentation of that fact. "When you have to leave in three hours, you don't write away for transcripts," said Mary Fitzgerald, chairman of Loyola's education department. An artist's view of Europe : A song in praise of Brahms This summer, the Loyola Chorale, under the direction of Dr. Larry Wyatt, toured Europe and gave performances in several cities. What did they see? What did they leam? Where did they go? The Rev. C. J. McNaspy, S.J., University professor at Loyola, accompanied the group. He relates some of their experiences in his article in today's Maroon. Chorale member and accomplished photographer Keith G. Thienemann brought along his camera to capture some of the feeling and beauty of the continent. For the full story, see page 6. While in Vienna, the group visited Austria Central Cemetery where a number of great composers are buried. At the foot of the monument to Brahms, Dr. Wyatt led his vocalists in song, much to the delight of music-loving tourists. SGA: no hike By Siegfried Zelt The Student Government Association voted unanimously on Tuesday to declare its opposition to the $5 increase in add/drop fees imposed by the registrar's office. According to SGA President John Young, the chairmen of each of the departments of the College of Arts and Sciences have given him support concerning the matter. Young, who will meet next Wednesday with the University's budget committee, said in a letter to the editor which appeared in the Maroon last Sept. 15 that the increase was not justified. He repeated the charges at the last SGA meeting. "Mr. Duplass (the Registrar) has not shown any statistical evidence to back up his view," Young said. "There was no student input into the decision (to raise the fees)," he added.

Brenda Theurer, owner and operator of Brenda's Florist said she will throw away ten percent of the 3,000 roses she ordered this Valentine's Day.
Theurer says she won't send out roses that are not 100 percent quality. Theurer hired eight extra employees to keep up with the high demand. They've been working past midnight every day this week to prepare for the holiday.
On Thursday, Theurer opened the flower shop two hours early. They sent out nearly 600 orders.
They also made several pre-made arrangements at the beginning of the week.
"You have to count your blessings and hope you've sold everything that you've made because there's a very labor intense job," Theurer said.
Valentine's Day is the busiest day of the year for Theurer, but she enjoys it. She is busy all day and the day goes by fast, she said.

Well new undercover study finds child predators are using social networks like FaceBook to be friend unsuspecting children.
And cyber bullying has led to tragedy for family after family in recent -- so how do you keep your kids safe.
James Dyer is the author of the book talking back to FaceBook thank you for joining us great to be here and in addition to those safety concerns and privacy concerns there -- just that the social concerns as well you you say that this digital media explosion is just a a huge cultural phenomenon that changes everything are we paying enough attention.
I don't think we are and that's why -- -- talking back to FaceBook you know.
Lots of kids today -- reveal before they self reflect.
So that can be a part of cyber bullying or sexting but this is a reality every parent out there needs to understand and do something about.
It's just the cyber bullying which is so vicious and were were focusing on not a lot.
But there's just doesn't this hurtful things you mention a girl in your book who killed herself because she saw pictures of a party that she wasn't invited to.
Very hurtful just looking at other people living their lives -- feeling that you elect is and is good.
That's right and you know with FaceBook and other social media platforms you know kids constantly compare themselves to other people in a recent study showed that over 50% of people feel.
There's something not as good about them at the other people actually and girls so I have two teenage daughters.
Girls today Photoshop they're images on FaceBook they're constantly curator in their pictures to present the right -- and they're sort of a presentation anxiety that goes with that.
Yeah and it's also about what you say you have to -- the witty comments on Twitter I don't know a lot of pressure.
And meanwhile -- -- -- in their bedrooms -- in the -- was talking face to face anymore that's great.
And you don't think about it I'm sitting here talking -- paddy has so I can see you smile I know your mom you know what it's like a doctor -- get kind of like cut my kids.
But when you can just do something meet with a click of a mouse or on your phone it's a lot -- -- it's less personal.
You don't know what the emotion is involved so this is a fundamental change in the way that human beings relate to each other particularly young people so we need to.
Educate ourselves and talk back and your book which -- -- has a lot of fantastic tips we don't have time for all of them but you know what what are some of the most important advice you'd give to parents who are trying to monitor kids usage well I think two things first of all you need to do your homework okay so if -- -- on FaceBook you need to go on FaceBook there page.
Need to understand how it works and -- -- clear limits.
The second thing is.
You and I both know this -- parents you need to be a role model I mean if you're always glued to your Blackberry.
Or you're not paying attention your kids because you're too too busy on your own FaceBook page your computer that you're not setting that example in our town for example.
You cannot have a device at the dinner table or any meal time so I think parents have to be wrong models and there are some very basic common sense tips that all of us as moms and dads can use and we can talk back to FaceBook.
And take care market and and it's all in the book and also web -- talking back to FaceBook just dire thank you so much for joining us.

No. 16 Fresno State 41, Nevada 23: Derek Carr threw for 487 yards and became the school's all-time passing-yardage leader as the host Bulldogs held off the Wolf Pack to remain one of seven undefeated teams in the country.Carr completed 39-of-56 passes and three touchdowns as Fresno State won its 14th straight game and improved to 8-0 for the first time since 1989. The Bulldogs, 5-0 in the Mountain West, got a career-high 253 yards receiving on 17 receptions and two touchdowns from Josh Harper to keep their BCS hopes alive.Cody Fajardo, who had thrown for over 350 yards in three of his last four games, rebounded from a rough start to pace the Wolf Pack (3-6, 2-4) by completing 14-of-24 passes for 206 yards. Fajardo also rushed for 72 yards for Nevada which led 7-0 but watched Fresno State score the game's next 24 points and dropped its fourth straight game for the first time since 2001.Carr, who set his 17th passing record at the school and raised his career total to 10,821 yards to break the record of brother David Carr, had 293 yards passing by halftime - including a 5-yard scoring pass to Davante Adams and a 17-yarder to Harper. Josh Quezada rushed for 115 yards and Marteze Waller added 45 yards on the ground and a touchdown for the Bulldogs.The Wolf Pack closed the gap to eight points on two occasions in the second half, getting touchdown passes of 13 yards to Brandon Wimberly and 32 yards to Hasaan Henderson but Fresno State responded both times. Carr hit Harper in stride on a 32-yard scoring pass and freshman Colin McGuire hit a crucial 40-yard field goal with 5:32 left to extend the lead to 34-23.GAME NOTEBOOK: It was the second sellout of the season for Fresno State which previously hadn't sold out a game since 2008. ...Fajardo was picked off in the second quarter, ending his MWC record streak of 198 passes without an interception. ...Nevada scored on the first drive of the game as Kendall Brock burst right up the seam for a 43-yard touchdown.

Confidence Intervals
For national averages, the confidence interval is 95% +/-1.5 (i.e., 95% of the time, national results for this survey will fall within 1.5 points to either side of the results published here). Confidence intervals for each of the nine regions are as follows:
A sluggish housing market continues to push down remodeling return on investment. Since its peak in 2005 at 86.7%, the overall average cost-value ratio has dropped 29 points to 57.7% (see "Cost vs. Value 9-Year Trend,").
High remodeling construction costs are only partly responsible. Project costs continue to drop, although more slowly: costs decreased 6.9% in 2009, 2.3% in 2010, and just 1.9% this year. Decreasing cost usually results in a higher cost-value ratio, except when resale value decreases even faster. And that is the case once again this year, when continued volatility in housing prices has pushed average project resale values down 6.0%. Though the rate of change here is also slowing, the decrease in resale value is more than enough to counter the positive effect of lower costs.
Some markets are performing better than others. The average cost-value ratio for cities in the Pacific region is 71.3%, due largely to higher resale values (see "Regional Comparison,"). The West South Central and the South Atlantic regions are also well-above average. High costs and low resale values keep remodeling return on investment below average in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions, while the West North Central cities rank lowest at 49.5%.
Even in markets where remodeling activity is showing signs of recovery, homeowners have given remodelers smaller budgets to work with. Elsewhere, existing home sales and cash-out mortgage refinances, traditional stimulants to remodeling activity, have not yet rebounded, and homeowner uncertainty about job security, home equity, and the overall economy have stifled remodeling investment.

Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report 2011-12
That said, there is evidence that the future for remodeling is bright. Hanley Wood's recent "Housing 360" research on consumer attitudes toward housing shows that 42% of homeowners believe it is a good time to remodel. (Hanley Wood publishes REMODELING magazine.) That number increases to 56% when household income is $100,000-plus, and it is 54% when home value is more than $500,000.
The research also suggests that tight credit is not a major impediment — 80% of respondents say they pay for remodeling with cash savings. And it confirms that 60% of homeowners 50 and older intend to stay in their homes through retirement, which will create demand for aging-in-place remodeling.
The Housing 360 research also shows that maintenance, repair, and replacement projects take precedence with homeowners. Cost vs. Value data confirm this once again this year, as replacement projects continue to perform better in resale value than other types of remodeling projects (see "Replacement vs. Remodeling,"). Seven of the 10 top-ranked projects are siding-, window-, or door-replacement projects and their cost-value ratio is an above-average 71.6%.
The high value of replacements is partly due to their relatively low cost — with the exception of the roofing projects, all replacement projects are priced at less than $19,000. In addition, most replacement projects immediately improve curb appeal, and the use of durable, low-maintenance replacement materials appeals to home buyers who increasingly are looking to reduce both the operational and maintenance costs of their homes.
The Attic Bedroom project is in the top 10 for the third year in a row, despite being the most expensive project in that group, averaging $50,148 nationally. One possible reason for the high value placed on this project, which is ranked third overall (72.5%), is that it is the least expensive way to add a bathroom and bedroom, and it does so within the home's existing footprint.
It is also worth noting that Minor Kitchen Remodel is fourth overall (72.1%), two places better than last year. At an average cost nationally of just under $20,000, this project is the interior version of a replacement and includes new cabinet door and drawer fronts and hardware, as well as new countertops and appliances.
Not surprisingly, since 2004, when Minor Kitchen Remodel was added to the project list, it has been the best-performing K&B project in every year but one.

CORPUS CHRISTI - The discussion on how to set rates on the proposed street user fee will be tabled, or put off, for further discussion in three weeks.
Too many questions were raised during public comment from business representatives unsure of how much they would pay, a possible appeals process and the way the city classifies their businesses. Council members weren't too clear on the details either.
Other business owners seemed to know very little of the proposal that's been discussed for the past year.
Earlier today, City Council approved the first reading of a separate ordinance to establish a street maintenance fee (user fee) to be included on utility bills. The ordinance would not go into effect until a second reading at a future council meeting. Only Priscilla Leal of District 3 voted against the ordinance.
The majority of the discussion this afternoon concerned the methods the city would use to assess the fee. Homeowners would see a $7 per month fee on their utility bills if the current rate structure is approved. The proposal calls for low income households to be exempt.
However, there are varying proposed rates for businesses based on classification by the city.
The fee would charge businesses per water meter based on square footage and the amount of traffic generated by their business. The data on the amount of traffic, or trip factor, comes from information provided by the State of Texas.
Included in the proposal is a cap on the fee for businesses. The exact figures are still being debated.
All of the monies collected under the fee would become part of a 'Street Fund' that can only be used to repair city streets.
Government buildings, hospitals, schools and the Regional Transportation Authority would be exempt from the fee as they are already maintained wholly, or in part, by taxpayer funding.
Many business leaders shared their discomfort with the council calling the proposed ordinance a fee rather than a tax.
The council will take up the matter again in three weeks.

haha no…lately my schedule has been off. I've been getting to bed late and sleeping in which is no good for lucidity. I'll restart my schedule tomorrow night by going to bed at about 11. I prefer to wake up with about 5 1\2 hours of sleep so I'm still tired but awake enough to mope around for a bit. So I'd say about 4:00-5:00 I -hopefully- will awake and move around doing misc things and then return to bed about 10-15 min after waking thus giving me a higher chance of lucidity. So yea…that gives you the info. Lately though I have been having troubles lucid dreaming as it just hasn't been on the "Importance List" in my life. I will try to scrape it off the back burner and really strap it on to get this rolling. I'll post my next lucid dream. I doubt I'll be able to tonight as my sleep schedule is all buggered up from staying up till 4 this morning. Hope to see you in the Sea of Wonder!
P.S. I hope you don't try to sex me up!

BOZEMAN - About 50 parents attended a meeting Wednesday night at Morning Star Elementary School to learn more about the school district's plan to redraw attendance boundaries in anticipation of the new elementary school slated to open next fall.
The district hopes to move about 100 children out of Morning Star. Some of the kids could attend Irving, Hyalite or Longfellow.
The meeting was at times emotional as parents voiced their concerns over moving their children to schools that are further away. Many are also concerned about losing their neighborhood school.
Many parents we talked to say they felt school officials were listening to their concerns and realize there will be changes.
"We have a lot of apprehension about it, but at the same time, I think we live in a great community and all of our schools are awesome and we just have to pull ourselves together and rally," said Jamie Hurd.
Emily Dickenson is another school that will see some major changes to attendance boundaries. Almost every school will be affected in some way with the exception of Hawthorne and Whittier.
The district will be holding several more meetings to gather input from parents and hope to have a recommendation to the school board by the end of the month with the final boundaries redrawn by spring break.
The new boundaries go into effect in the fall of 2014.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

WEC's Bi-Monthly Commentary on Energy Issues, 1 May 2009
Lithuanian Energy Conference
WEC's Lithuanian Member Committee, in cooperation with the Lithuanian Ministry of Energy, hosted a one-day Energy Conference at the Reval Hotel in Vilnius on April 17, with over 600 participants present. These included representatives of all energy sectors in Lithuania (electricity, heating, oil, gas, nuclear and renewable energy resources) as well as guests from the Office of the President, the Parliament, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of the Environment and other government bodies.
The theme of the conference was "Economic and Security Tasks", and speakers included Energy Minister Arvydas Sekmokas; Jonas Šimenas, Chairman of the Environment Committee of the Lithuanian Parliament; Rymantas Juozaitis, Chair of WEC Lithuania and representatives of the Lithuanian energy industry. Emily Melton, WEC Director of Member Services, Finance and Administration, gave a presentation on WEC, an overview of the Montreal Congress and a summary of the conclusions of the 2009 WEC Statement, including the importance for the energy sector of focusing on the longer term despite the current financial crisis and the need to maintain investment in energy for the future.
Some of the main points made in the various presentations were that, like many other countries, Lithuania is facing a number of critical energy-related issues, particularly in light of the global economic crisis. One of the issues is the disparity between the end-user price and the price of primary energy and the frequency of price adjustments by the regulator. Another is Lithuania's long-standing dependence on Russian gas; continuing to depend on Russia is an "easy" option, but the energy industry and the government see the importance of developing new energy options within Lithuania. Lithuania's accession to the EU was conditional on the closure of the Ignalina nuclear power plant, and this is nearing completion. Government officials are confident this will not create problems of energy supply for Lithuania. Emphasis was placed on the necessity to create a generation company to be both a stakeholder and technical and to participate in the construction of a new nuclear power plant in Lithuania.
Lithuania is also debating the model for the role and structure of the energy regulator and is taking steps to strengthen the regulator's competence and ensure equal regulation principles for all power sectors.
Following the presentations, a roundtable discussion took place in which the speakers and members of the audience took part. Conclusions from this discussion were that:
There is a strong need for Lithuania to foster and strengthen both the goal of renovation of houses to increase energy efficiency and the development of renewable energy sources, especially with respect to the use of biomass, in order to reduce the country's dependence on imported fossil fuels.
It is urgent to develop interconnection projects with Poland and Sweden and to construct a new nuclear power plant in Lithuania. Also high on the agenda is synchronous connection of the Baltic countries' power systems with the power systems of Western Europe. also generate new investment into energy.
It is important for Lithuania to work with and within the EU on energy issues and to keep an ongoing dialogue with other member states and the European Commission.
The day concluded with the presentation of awards to energy leaders from throughout Lithuania.
Congratulations to WEC Lithuania Chair Rymantas Juozaitis and Secretary Gintaras Adzgauskas on a successful and very well attended event.
Assessment of Energy Policy and Practices Study Group Meeting
The study group for Assessment of Energy Policy and Practices met in London on April 16-17, under the leadership of the Chair, Hajime Murata (Japan). Ten members were in attendance or represented. Also attending were members of the Steering Group, WEC Secretary General Christoph Frei, WEC Director of Regional Programmes Yoshiaki Imaizumi and two members of an advisory team of economic advisors nominated by WEC members.
A full set of questionnaires designed to obtain feedback from members was circulated in late February and early March, with responses requested by April 7. To date, 28 complete responses have been received, but some are still arriving, and at least another five are promised by today. We are grateful for the special efforts members have taken on short notice to first provide feedback on the Assessment methodology and draft questionnaire and then to complete and return their views on energy policies and practices in their countries. This provides for a robust analysis of practices and accelerates the process of achieving the goals of the WEC 3 As by giving insights into what makes for effective policies.
At the meeting, responses were examined in detail, and insights were accumulated. Many critiques and suggestions were received from members about the use of specific indicators and their assembly into building blocks and then into the main supports. These are being incorporated into the analysis which, when completed, will be sent to members for their review. A key decision is that for the time being, all indicators, building blocks and supports will have equal weighting, and as the assessment evolves and lessons are learned, an obvious weighting may emerge. For a description of the methodology and process, please refer to:
The structure of the report was also discussed and a preliminary outline determined. Despite the tight time schedule, the plan is to ensure that members have at least four weeks to respond. Feedback will be used to refine the conclusions.
An economist advisory group has also been established and is working. This group is composed of representatives from within the WEC member community, and its purpose is to provide expert analysis of the results so that they can be translated into effective high-level policy guidance.
The assessment results will then be incorporated into a report which will be ready for the Executive Assembly in Reykjavik in September and for COP15 in Copenhagen in December.
We are grateful for several new nominations from the members for the study group. The group is presently composed of Hajime Murata (Japan), Director; Maya Czarzasty (Poland); Brasil Geraldo (Brazil); Iulian Iancu (Romania); Annette Hester (Canada); Tatiana Mitrova (Russia); Daniel Romero (Colombia); Fareed Al-Asaly (Saudi Arabia); Miroslav Vrba (Czech Republic); Maria Sunér Fleming (Sweden); Jean-Eudes Moncomble (France); David S. Hong (Taiwan China); Bundit Fungtammasan (Thailand); Djoko Prasetijo (Indonesia); Takashi Tanaka (Japan); and Abubakar Malah Umar (Nigeria). Any additional interest in the study group is welcome.
Polish MC Publishes WEC 85th Anniversary Tribute
WEC's Polish Member Committee, under the leadership of Chair Zbigniew Bicki and the Polish MC Board, has recently published a report entitled "85 Years of the World Energy Council at the Background of the Global and Polish Energy Sector Development".
The report was authored written by long-time WEC Poland Secretary Jan Solinski, who will step down as Secretary of the Committee this year after 26 years of service.
WEC Poland was one of the founding members of WEC in 1924, and the report summarises not only the active role it has played in WEC for the past 85 years, but also provides a review of the global and Polish energy sectors and their development since the 1920s. It is presented in both Polish and English.
The Polish Member Committee has generously sent enough copies to WEC London to allow all WEC Member Committees to have copies, and we will be sending each Committee a copy in the near future. Additional copies are available upon request from the London office.
Congratulations to the Polish Member Committee on this significant achievement.
Thanks to all members who responded with comments about the usefulness of EnergyFax, as requested in the April 15 issue. The responses and comments were very useful in determining the future of EnergyFax. Based on your feedback, I have decided to keep the basic concept of this publication as an "internally focused newsletter" aimed at our members, but I want to enhance its usefulness to you and add value. Keep an eye out for the new version, which will be issued every two weeks beginning on May

Diarrhoea and vomiting outbreak forces ward closures
2:31pm Wednesday 24th October 2012 in County News
Visitors are being asked not to go to Withybush Hospital following an outbreak of diarrhoea and vomiting - some cases of norovirus have been confirmed.
Visiting is restricted across the whole hospital and ward seven, the acute coronary unit (previously ward eight) and CCU are closed.
Relatives are asked to call the wards first before attempting to visit as access is being restricted to avoid further cases.
Anyone suffering diarrhoea and vomiting or flu is asked not to visit any hospital or care facility.
If you have diarrhoea and vomiting symptoms most people will make a full recovery within a couple of days.
There is no specific treatment and apart from the risk of dehydration, the illness is not generally dangerous and there are usually no long-lasting effects.
It is important to have plenty to drink and, if you feel the need, paracetamol for any fever or aches and pains.
To reduce the risk of passing it onto others, wash your hands regularly and stay at home until you are clear of symptoms for 48 hours.
Colds and flu affect 15 million people each year in the UK but unlike a cold, the symptoms of flu come on very quickly and include a fever and aching joints and muscles.
Flu can be a serious condition for some people, so it's important to get a flu jab, available free of charge, if you are over 65, pregnant or have an underlying health condition (particularly chronic heart or respiratory disease), or weakened immune system. Do not wait until a flu outbreak occurs – contact your GP or practice nurse now to arrange your flu jab.
For the first time, the flu vaccine will be also available from 137 pharmacies in Wales, with selected pharmacists given special training to administer the injections.
To get your jab, contact your GP to make an appointment or check NHS Direct for a local pharmacy that can give you the vaccine.
If you would like advice about your illness or are concerned about flu symptoms, then in the first instance call NHS Direct on 0845 46 47 or phone your GP who will assess your symptoms and provide appropriate advice. Do not attend your GP Practice without speaking to them or NHS Direct first.

Great for toddlers - preschoolers !!
By Grandmama's are the best
from N.C.
Grandmama's toy box. Looking to provide age appropriate toys for my grandchildren that are fun, educational, spurs the imagination, has longevity in terms of both play time and for years of grandchildren to come. My grandson (22 months) is having a grand time with these blocks...he can manipulate them himself...build towers and other wacky shapes then take them apart...he is trying to identifying letters so this is a two in one for him.
Terrific toy for toddlers!

About Me First Time Parent
My is 2 1/2 years old and he LOVES these legos. They are the perfect size for his hands and the abc's help me to teach him while he's playing. This is the first toy that can actually keep his attention for over an hour. He loves to build and the legos help him turn his imagination into reality as he builds his spaceships and towers. Phenomenal buy!
Very good product!
By Denise, the proud aunt

Lean and grow with your ABC blocks
By Hulio
from Undisclosed
My daughter got this set when she was 8 months old. She's two now and she can already read basic words. This was the best toy she could possibly get. She learned all the letters thought fun and it was very smooth and natural for her to move on to full words. I had great fun watching her play with them and to see how she is developing not only manually but also learn new things. The colours and quality of the blocks are great as always with LEGO!

Christmas present for 2 1/2 year old daughter. She loves it. Duplo is a great size. She is outgrowing the quattro but is not ready for the small legos. She loves the colors, stacks them in ABC order, meows when she sees the cat. Great present.

Loved it
By mamahub
from WAUCHULA
My two year got this set for Christmas, and he loves it! He already had some duplo blocks and he and his two OLDER brothers spent hours building and naming the letters together. Just because Duplo is aimed at younger kids, doesn't mean older ones won't want in on the action. My kids incorporated the letter bricks to the walls of a huge house, and made them look like pictures on the wall. this set was a big hit with my family and seems well worth the money because it included several special "roof" pieces, a car piece, and a chair. Fantastic for my little guys (ages 2, 6, 9) to play together.

He loved it!!
By My Three Sons
from Jamaica NY
My son is two and doesn't play with a lot of toys. He loves these Legos. Some of the letters have pictures which help him identify the letter. He builds different objects each time he really enjoys them.

Why is this fraud different from all other frauds?
Years from now, lawyers, journalists and historians are likely to still be debating the causes and consequences of Madoff's massive deception. Untangling the mess will not only be crucial in the bid to provide restitution to some victims, it will also become a case study of how not to repeat the same mistakes.
