It's fitting that today is No Email Day since we all had a bit of practice after Monday's Gmail outages and yesterday's brief Facebook blip. Several audible gasps were heard throughout Econsultancy's offices and it serves as a reminder that today's marketing and digital media culture is obsessed with being 'always on.'
I was happy to keep plugging away in the browser on my email pitching for Econsultancy's latest best practice guide because I have installed Gmail Offline, but how many people are aware of its Chrome extension? This got me thinking of the other tricks and tools I use when not connected to stay productive.

Google's new smartphone, the Nexus 4, is available to buy and the search giant is currently accepting pre-orders through Play, its version of iTunes.
However we've been hearing some negative feedback around Play and the way Google is handling the entire purchase cycle for the Nexus 4, so decided to investigate the user experience.
We used the same e-commerce best practice criteria that we used for previous posts, the full details of which can be seen below.

According to a recent talk at Outbrain NY, one of the most powerful voices of online news discovery, Gabe Rivera, believes algorithms will never be able to curate as effectively as humans.
This is why your content marketing initiatives should never underestimate human action.

The genie is now out of the bottle on a mass scale around something that most content marketers have known for several years running: to be noticed in today's online news world, you must stand on the back of giants: Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Twitter.
UPDATE: Note that Techcrunch, The Next Web, Silicon Alley Insider, GigaOm, AllthingsD and The Associated Press ALL posted based off the fraudulent press release, not just Techcrunch
In case you've missed the news, the search, public relations and online journalism industries are all in an uproar over a fake press release that was written and distributed over PRWeb in order to generate a stock boost for the offending company.
At the center of the scandal, ICOA Wireless, a U.S. provider of wired and wireless broadband internet networks, who yesterday distributed a release claiming that the company had been acquired by Google for $400m.

LinkedIn Today was launched over a year and a half ago as a way to use data from 175M+ professionals to surface relevant stories in specific verticals on the LinkedIn platform.
Currently, the content that makes it through the algorithm is selectively published by a small team of editors (or curators some might say) in New York City, and the resulting traffic – if your content is placed on the homepage – is considered a bit of a Holy Grail for content marketers.
Here are six tips to help you hit the feed!

Journalists and news creators, who by nature are at the top of the social news cycle, as well as content creators for brands that offer value to their communities should be aware of these six great tools.
As part of my role here at Econsultancy as Content Marketing Executive, I was immediately immersed in product demos and in-person meetings for new products in the burgeoning social web discovery space.

Feed. Where I grew up in rural Santa Clara California, this meant alfalfa we shovelled to our horses.
Now, the word has an entirely different meaning to a global world of young digital natives, and understanding/collecting data on how these types of feeds are accessed and interacted with is going to be big business.
Where do you learn about breaking events? Consult the Twitter feed. Need to get caught up on family and friend's whereabouts after a long- stint of no communication, that's a Facebook feed.
For shopping you have your Pinterest feed – or, more importantly your followers Pinterest feed in order to get the latest visual porn around the products and brands that matter to you most. For personal expression, you have your Instagram or Tumblr feed.

Being from San Francisco, I've always had a soft spot for the underdog small business or high street boutique, and coming from a social media background, I love to stay on top of new ways social can help this market segment.
In the past, we've looked into how Pinterest can be used for link building and blogger outreach, as well as some of the big players getting involved with the new niche social network.
But can Pinterest still even be considered niche?

Rain Suit Size Chart
Comment: Bought a pair of these Rain Suits before our big 4k trip, just in case. We ended up riding through 3 and a half days of down pour rain though Canada. We stayed completely dry the entire time. These suits are easy to get in and out of, very quick to dry out at the end of the day. And the price.... Incredible. It saved our trip. Best purchase I've made in a long time. Excellent quality.
Comment: Perfect for peace of mind when riding when there is a chance for showers or worse! Light weight. but durable. Thanks for fast delivery!
chapel hill nc
Comment: Very durable and comfortable one piece rainsuit specially for the low price that I paid. You could expect to pay double at retail stores. The suit folds up nicely in my saddle bag for the unexpected down pour.
Greenwood IN
Comment: I've got a longer torso. Coveralls, and one piece rainsuits, regardless of brand, ALWAYS bind my crotch, with the exception of this rainsuit! What luck to finally find a one piece rain suit that's comfortable!! I'm 5'11", 180 LBS, 42" chest, 34" waist, and the medium fits great while wearing a cool weather textile jacket that has armor. Nice suit for the money, only thing, the one I received was all black with a white "V" across the chest. No gray shoulders like the picture. I can live with that, this suit is a real value!!
Kentwood MI
Comment: I live in N.H. and this suit is made the way a rain suit should be,nice heavy material that does the job!!!! Great price and nice people!!!!
Comment: Purchased this one piece because of the excellent price and the fact that it comes in a 5xl size. I can finally put a rain suit on over my leathers with room to spare ! Extra long zipper makes entry and exit very easy. Have only used it in light downpour but seems it will hold up well when the skies open and it pours.
Comment: I was skeptical that such a cheaply priced rain suit would have any quality to it. But I needed one and didn't have a hundred bucks, so I rolled the dice. Much to my surprise it seems to be a very well built and rugged suit. I have used it a couple of times and have remained completely dry. The only negative I can possibly see with this suit is the insides of the legs could use something to make them heat resistant in the event you touch it to the exhaust.
Comment: Very nice suit. Order a size larger to fit over your clothes and you will be a happy rider even in the rain because you will not be getting wet. Would buy this product again from Jafrum. Ride safe.

Comment: I always use a 1 piece, and this suit has a great seal on the front velcro/zipper. Awesome value.
Comment: Fast shipping,great qulity.just ordered another item.ill be back.
manchester tn.
Comment: This suit is a good value for the money, watertight closures, sturdy, not too hard to get on and off. No venting of any kind, so you can be sweltering pretty quickly on a warm day, but with that in mind, it is an excellent buy.

Ambler, PA
Comment: I bought one on clearance for 18 bucks + shipping. The first time the zipper came off track but went back on easily. It's one peice so that's a HUGE BONUS! But I have a gut, 6'2" 340lbs, fits for my height - 4xl - very well. I usually take a 3xl, but they only had 4xl. Glad I got it. I can't easily get in it with a big biker jacket on; but it will go. I wonder if the zipper will give. The zipper has a velcro flap over and an inner flap fold that will block water from blowing in if the zipper fails. All in all, get a bigger one if you want to wear a coat in cool weather/rain under it. It's a great thing to have a ONE Piece too! Definately! Just got it and it takes up some serious space in one bag, but I can still get a gallon of milk in there likely, and some little stuff, if I roll it right. All in all it looks and wears great, except for those details. IF you don't have a gut, then it might fit with your regular size with a coat on. J

Comment: I've used it 3 times now and it works great. Keeps me dry. Great Price, I'll probably buy another for a spare.

Comment: Thank you Jafrum for this all in one suit. I ride a scooter daily 200+ days a year. This year we've had tons of rain and I've gone from a poncho, to a 2 piece suit. Neither got the job done of keeping me comfortable and rain free. This suit has done it. Additionally I love the large sized because I wear the suit over my work clothes and even my co workers are amazed at how dry I am on rainy day. I even bought 1 for my motorcycle riding husband. Don't wait or hesitate, buy this suit!
Washington, DC
Comment: Bought one of these rain suits and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the suit for the price I paid!! Make sure you follow the sizing chart because I was going to buy one size larger for my leather jacket but found I did not need the larger size. Would definitely recommend these suits, a true bargain.

Comment: Awesome Rain gear for the price .Fast on Delivery Thanks JaFrurm
Comment: My daughter and I wore these suits through some of the worst weather I've ever seen and we stayed dry, I was surprised because we traveled through it on and off for 8 hrs. I'm 6'4 and 240lbs, the 2x fit me and my HD Jacket. I Highly recommend them.
Big Mike

Comment: Very nice quality at a low price. I was impressed when received my rain gear. This keeps the rain off when you're on the freeway. I was reluctant on the size but there's plenty of room in a medium.
Comment: Works great, fits great. I'm 6'2" and thin, ordered a M and I'm glad I did. (normally order L because of height). The one piece is really easy to put on in a hurry, and it keeps the rain out, unlike a 2 piece when rain rolls down your back. Also it's really warm. Maybe too warm for Florida summer rains. But winter will be nice. Only thing I could suggest to the manufacturer is to move the pocket to the left leg, so when I have to reach for a towel to wipe my visor, I don't have to let off the gas. Thanks Jafrum!
Comment: Used this suit during a return from a long out-of-state trip. Suit is great and I would purchase it again.
Comment: Recently traveled in freezing weather and rain, have waterproof textile gear but typical riding gear does soak up quite a bit of water and may ultimately fail. In heavy rain and in freezing weather, adding this thin layer over riding suit made a huge difference. Fairly durable but can be torn if you are not careful. Tall boots recommended. I have shorter length and found it best to keep bottoms unzipped so they hung over the boot while riding. With tall waterproof boots and appropriate gloves, you can go anywhere.
Comment: Fast shipping, Great fit. Workes great. Keeps you very dry and breaths well.

Comment: Bought the one piece rain gear and my husband loves it. He said that it kept him warn and was very easy to zip up. I am very happy with the purchase.
Michele P

Comment: Tested on multiple occasions in this tropical country.. dry as much as possible, just the neck area where water drip in from the helmet.. torrential rains are no issues so far.. good buy.. easy to dry.. considerably compact for its size
Comment: I have waited to write a reveiw until I have used this in the rain. Well....yesterday it rained....Hard. I rode 20 miles through a hard rain and arrived home bone dry. This was not a all day ride, but the suit seems to be a good bargain. It packs back down to about the size of a football. Packs small and is pretty light.

Comment: Rode to Gettysburg bike week knowing it was going to rain. For the last 90 miles it rained every step of the way. I could not be happier with the way I stayed dry with this suit. Now I have to order boot covers.
Comment: This is a very good one piece rainsuit. It keeps you dry in a rainstorm. Always order a size or so bigger so you can fit it over your clothes. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to be able to ride in the rail. Packs into a space about the size of a football; I always keep in in a saddlebag-you can never predict the weather!.
Peter Burkey

Comment: Arrived quick. Fits right.
Comment: Bought this rain suit to travel to sturgis this year. Great Investment for the trip. Rode through rain going and coming home across five states and never got wet, .dry as a bone. My buddies were not so lucky with their two piece suits. Mine is still in great shape and ready to go again.
Comment: the rain suit is great. good price too. very happy with purchase
Comment: Quality far exceeds expectation. Buy on the small side. I am 5.10 and 155 and the small is a bit bulky. But overall a great suit. Used it the day after receiving it and several times since and have learned how to quickly roll it up for fast under-seat storage.

Comment: I got this suit in 2xl to fit over my current rain gear and jacket-Im 5:11 185. It works great as last layer of insurance and keeps the cold out. Easy to get in/out of. For the price point, excellent.

FOUNTAIN, COLO. -- The man found dead in Fountain Creek back in February died from a meth intoxication, according to the El Paso County Coroner.
The report, released by the coroner, said 27-year-old Nathaniel Vialpando died of methamphetamine intoxication.
It was Feb. 8, when police said someone who was walking their dogs spotted what they thought was a body submerged in water.
According to police, snow and ice had developed on the body.
Because of decomposition, it could not be determined if drowning or hypothermia played a role in Vialpando's death, the Coroner said.
The Fountain Police Department said it first got a call about Vialpando on Dec. 2.
According to the call, Vialpando was at a truck stop causing a scene. When police arrived, he was inside a white pickup. After yelling at police, he sped off, authorities said.
Vialpando turned down Bandley and went across a field before running the vehicle into a concrete barrier, police said. When police arrived to the pickup, he was gone.
After a several-hour long search, Vialpando was never found. Police said that was the last time his family had heard from him and there was never a missing person's report filed.

An e gift card or an electronic certificate gets delivered to the recipient online or via the Internet. There are several benefits of sending an e gift card, something which outscores the rather limited benefits of the regular cards.
The risks of the gift being stolen from the recipient's doorstep or from the mailbox are negated completely with e gift cards. The individual who wants to gift an e card would not have to take out his or her car, spend money for fuel, and travel to different gift stores in search of that perfect card. There is also zero danger of having the card delivered late even if shipped well in advance. The varieties and selections with e gift cards are enormous, especially when compared to the regular cards. The electronic cards can be ordered from the comforts of one's home, which brings down the need to commute.
E gift cards and gift codes like these or even these ValPaks are getting popular - are available for people with a variety of budgets. These can be bought for a few dollars, and some really expensive cards are also available. The chances of buying the same gift as someone else are also reduced considerably. Personal messages can be added, and deleted any number of times. This is not possible with a regular card, as it is difficult to erase anything that is written on a paper card. If one tries to erase the messages and replace them with the new ones, it might look scribbled and would spoil the overall look of the card.

The Steamship Liner S.S. Nieuw Amsterdam was a Dutch ocean liner built in Rotterdam for the Holland America Line.
This Nieuw Amsterdam, the second of three Holland America ships with that name, is considered by many to have been Holland America's finest ship.
To this day SS Nieuw Amsterdam is still regarded as one of the most beautiful ships to be built. With her stunning silhouette she was a well balanced ship. Her elegant lines were highlighted with her black hull, as well as her two perfectly proportioned funnels and two tall masts. At the time, she was also the largest Dutch ship to be built.
Originally she was to be named Prinsendam, however during construction, Holland America Line (HAL) decided to name their new flagship Nieuw Amsterdam, in honor the settlement of the Dutch in Nieuw Amsterdam, today's City of New York. Nieuw Amsterdam was also given the honor of being the Dutch "Ship of State." Unlike other ships of her time being built (especially British and American ships) her design did not include any military ingredient, despite the threateningpolitical situation of the day. SS Nieuw Amsterdam was launched by HRH Queen Wilhelmina on April 10, 1937 and was completed on March 21, 1938.

Stocks Post Best First Quarter Since 1998
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) --The major U.S. equity indices wrapped up their best first quarter since 1998 with a mixed finish on Friday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 both gained ground, helped by a positive read on consumer sentiment and the eurozone's move to bolster its rescue fund. The Nasdaq Composite , however, slipped as Apple(AAPL) dropped lost 1.7% and dropped back below $600 for the first time in a week after a labor advocacy group reported difficult worker conditions at Foxconn, a major supplier to the iPhone and iPad maker.
The S&P 500 , which has increased 12% year-to-date, has only seen double-digit first-quarter gains 11 times since 1928. The index was up 5 points, or 0.4%, to close at 1408 on Friday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was higher by 66 points, or 0.5%, to finish at 13,212. The blue-chip index rose more than 994 points in the first quarter, its biggest point gain ever, according to Dow Jones Indexes . After booking a 5% gain in 2011, the index is up 8.1% so far this year.
The Nasdaq, which notched its seventh consecutive week of gains, was down 4 points, or 0.1%, to close at 3092. The tech-heavy index surged 18.7% in the first quarter.
European stocks rose Friday after eurozone finance ministers agreed to strengthen the bloc's debt crisis firewall to about €700 billion ($931 billion). The leaders agreed on the lowest figure accepted by nations, including Germany, Finland and the Netherlands, raising questions as to whether the plan will be enough to ward off the crisis.
Rising debt yields in Italy and Spain are of particular concern as the effects of the cheap loans from the European Central Bank that started at the end of last year have begun to wear off.
According to the plan agreed upon on Friday, the cap on the bloc's firewall will be raised starting July 2012, which is when the European Stability Mechanism, or the permanent bailout facility for the region, will start operating. At that time also, the European Financial Stability Facility, or the region's temporary rescue fund will starting making loans.
London's FTSE finished up 0.46% and Germany's DAX gained 1.04%. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei Average closed down 0.3% on Friday and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index finished lower by 0.3%.
Also helping to lift stocks were positive signs on the consumer side of the domestic economy. The University of Michigan's survey of consumer sentiment reached its highest level in more than a year in March, coming in at a level of 76.2 from 75.3 in February. Economists expected the index to come in at 74.7.
In other U.S. economic news, the Commerce Department reported that spending among American consumers rose 0.8% in February, exceeding the estimated 0.6% rise and adding to the 0.4% increase from the prior month. The latest increase in spending was also the largest since July.

How good is the magic mouse's latency?
Every bluetooth mouse I have used in the past (both on OS X and Windows) had an annoyingly long latency. In other words, there's a small (but noticeable) delay between moving your mouse and seeing the cursor move, which gives the feeling that the cursor is struggling to keep up. I am wondering how good this mouse is in this respect.

Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar creates a culinary celebration of Japan with mouthwatering sushi and seafood, flavorful steak house fare, and dazzling displays of teppan-style grilling. At each hibachi grill-top table, a talented chef chops, dices, and serves succulent steaks, chicken, and shrimp with the showmanship of a professional wrestler and the delicate knife skills of a hummingbird surgeon. At the sushi bar, guests can savor the rich textures and carefully selected ingredients of treats such as a five-piece sashimi plate or a specialty rolls named for bonsais, sunsets, and cowboys.
Christopher's chefs draw upon an array of fresh seafood flown in daily from locations across the world, organic local produce, and USDA Prime cuts of beef. Epicureans carve heaping plates from corn-fed beef aged for 21 days, but may also choose Snake River Farms American Wagyu beef at the Salt Lake City restaurant or USDA Choice Certified angus beef in Draper. The Salt Lake City menu draws back curtains from mushrooms stuffed with crab and andouille ($12), which wrestle for fork affections before a main act of filet mignon medallions waltz with shrimp scampi ($32). On the Draper menu, chefs pave stomachscapes with beginning bites of spicy plum-glazed tempura chicken and asian cucumber salad ($8), and lure out potato-crusted Alaska halibut using pancetta-scallion butter, wild rice, and spinach ($28). Diners may scale the seasoned peaks of 8-ounce portabella bleu-cheese filet mignon ($41-$44) at either locale before going on to pen meat-inspired folk songs.
Carvers Steaks and Seafood flavors its eponymous catches and chops with sauces spiced with whiskey and peppercorn, or butters churned with garlic, Pernod, or Cajun spices. These and other seasonings top generously portioned Carvers Cuts of filet mignon, prime rib, and other meats, as well as halibut fillets and lobster tails caught off the coast of Maine. The dinner menu also includes vegetarian dishes, such as a pear and feta garden salad, as well as raspberry-vanilla bread pudding for dessert.
"A lot of our recipes come from family," explains owner Adam Wheaton. "Alicia's cheesecake is my wife's sister's, our italian stuffed mushrooms come from an aunt, my wife's mom…has probably put her hands or ideas into everything we serve." Working from these recipes and others, the chefs grill up steaks, broil lobster tails, and make tortilla chips, crab cakes, and barbecue sauces in-house. Additionally, they help to accommodate restricted diets by forging a number of dishes devoid of gluten and chicken thighs that show too much skin.
This commitment to family is a recurring theme for the steak house. When the Wheaton family's daughter, Madeline, was diagnosed with severe epilepsy at age 3, doctors said the condition would steadily worsen over time and would likely claim her life in her teens. To say she proved medical professionals wrong is an understatement—she has only demonstrated improvement since then and continues to exceed expectations. The Wheatons, of course, wholeheartedly rallied behind their daughter, naming the family's restaurant after her and partnering with local charities to help raise awareness of and fight against epilepsy.
Prime Steak House and Piano Bar carves up a menu highlighted by an array of succulent steaks made with Midwestern, custom-aged beef. Protein-hungry incisors can gnaw on Prime's signature 8-ounce fillet as the accompanying bluefin crabmeat and béarnaise sauce smother taste buds ($33), similar to a 45-minute voicemail from Mother. Like the fillet, the 16-ounce new york strip is seasoned with kosher salt and pepper, lightly caressed with butter, and served on a hot plate to sustain the flavor-sealing warmth produced by the restaurant's 1,800-degree broiler ($41). Strap on homemade scuba gear to explore sea-sourced dishes such as the tuna steak, an 8-ounce fillet seared rare and served with a ginger-mustard wasabi sauce ($33). Prime's signature molten-chocolate cake, crafted with imported Valrhona chocolate, makes an eye-catching entrance onto tables accompanied by an entourage of cool vanilla ice cream ($11).
With its vibrant, modern décor and dazzling handcrafted nouvelle-American cuisine made from local, seasonal, and organic ingredients whenever possible, Metropolitan has earned a multitude of accolades. From the lunch menu erupts the metro bison burger, a galloping herd of mushrooms, onions, swiss, and truffled pomme frites ($10), and the Mediterranean sampler, a tantalizing tray of hummus, baba ghanoush, olive tapenade, stewed tomatoes, and seasoned Bluetooth ($8–$12). Adventurous options pepper the dinner menu, including the Metropolitan mushroom appetizer, flanked by truffle potatoes and red-wine sauce ($6 taste, $12 full plate); the Utah trout, decorated with fiddlehead ferns, radishes, pear, and a pistachio puree ($25); and the veal chop, donning an ensemble of green apple, celery root, quinoa, and mustard jus ($35). Find repose in the martini lounge to tackle the tasty bar menu, which includes entrees such as chicken pot pie ($12); appetizers come two-for-one during the bar's "attitude adjustment hour" starting at 5:30 p.m.

Tender shoots of spring
by: Sarah Fritschner
Annual Asparagus Festival is a labor of love for entire community of May's Lick
Peggy Parker remembers how her family cooked asparagus. "When I was a kid," she recalls from her home in May's Lick, located in northeastern Kentucky, "we'd put a pan of water on the stove to boil, then we'd run out to the garden and pick it, and bring it inside and cook it." Asparagus topped with butter is how she learned to love it.
It was Parker's great-grandfather, asparagus farmer and banker Sanford Roff, who dubbed May's Lick the "asparagus bed of Mason County." Parker says the reference was used to advertise his bank, and she surmises he was boasting about the fertility of the May's Lick soil.
Parker grows about 3-1/2 acres of asparagus on the working farm her grandparents named Burrwal Farm, after the burr oaks and walnut trees on the property. During the six-week or so growing season, Parker sells fresh asparagus from the Asparagus Shed on the farm.
Some of the asparagus crop will be donated to the 16th annual May's Lick Asparagus Festival. This year's event, which quadruples the town's population for the day, is May 19, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., on Main Street. In addition to eating lots of asparagus dished up by civic groups who use this as their main fund-raiser, visitors can peruse an art fair, get growing advice, hear live music, and watch the asparagus parade.
On the eve of the festival, Friday, May 18, during the volunteer fire department fish fry, community leaders and officials will run the third annual Stiletto Stampede obstacle course—yes, in stilettos—to raise money and awareness for the Maysville Women's Crisis Center.
The festival raises funds to maintain and improve the town's Roff Park, a recreation site with swings, walking path, and shelter house.
More festival information is available at

GRILLED (or Roasted) ASPARAGUS
1 1⁄2 lbs medium asparagus (about 24), trimmed
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher or garlic salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
Prepare outdoor grill, using a grill pan or fish basket. Place the asparagus on a wide platter or pan and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to lightly coat the asparagus with the oil, then season lightly with pepper and kosher or garlic salt. Grill asparagus in pan or basket set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until tender, 3 to 5 minutes on each side, turning frequently to check. Remove from grill; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving. Serves 6.
1 lb ground beef
1⁄2 tsp garlic powder
1 medium onion, diced
2 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
1 C ripe pitted olives, sliced
8 oz sour cream (light works fine)
1 C cottage cheese
3⁄4 C chopped mild green chilies
8 oz grated Monterey jack cheese
7 oz crushed tortilla chips
Brown the ground beef in a wide skillet. Drain excess fat. Add garlic powder, onions, tomato sauce, and olives. Simmer for 10 minutes, until the onions are soft. Combine sour cream, cottage cheese, and green chilies. Put half the chips in the bottom of a 2 1⁄2 quart casserole (such as a 9x13-inch baking dish). Top with half the beef mixture, half the cottage cheese, and half the cheese. Repeat layers. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Serves 8.
Submitted by
of Campbellsville, a member of Taylor County RECC, who says this recipe is an Americanized version of chilaquiles. The Mexican dish uses day-old corn tortillas, whereas this recipe uses tortilla chips.

text: PublicationsInternational Activity Report 2010ChadIn 2010, the heaviest rains for 40 years destroyed crops, flooded wells and cut off entire villages in Chad. These floods followed a long drought in 2009, which had already resulted in a significant drop in farm production. Chadians faced a major food crisis and several outbreaks of disease, including cholera, meningitis, measles and malnutrition. One quarter of children under the age of five were suffering from acute malnutrition in the Sahel region of western Chad in 2010. In eastern Chad, conflict continued. Insecurity in eastern ChadThe political relationship between Chad and Sudan improved in 2010. Based on an agreement between the two countries regarding the provision of weapons and protection of insurgent groups, the UN peacekeeping mission MINURCAT left the country in December 2010. But sporadic clashes continued to be reported in eastern Chad and humanitarian staff were targets of kidnapping, robberies and violence. Many aid organisations were obliged to reduce their activities, or stop work altogether, making life even more difficult for people living in the region. In Dogdoré, 30 kilometres from the border with Sudan, residents live alongside a large number of displaced people. MSF teams carried out more than 12,100 consultations and treated 430 patients in hospital during the first seven months of 2010. They provided 2,460 antenatal consultations, assisted more than 200 births and vaccinated some 1,060 children against measles. More than 430 people were admitted to the nutritional rehabilitation programme. In July 2010, however, MSF was forced to close the programme. Repeated security incidents made it impossible to maintain a team in Dogdoré. Before leaving, MSF donated drugs and medical supplies to the hospital to help ensure the continuation of medical care after the team's departure. In Kerfi, in the southeast, MSF staff worked in a small health centre where both displaced people and members of the settled community came for treatment. In 2010, almost 26,700 consultations were carried out, and more than 1,500 patients were hospitalised. Staff held more than 3,000 antenatal consultations, assisted close to 100 births, and admitted more than 1,000 people to the nutrition programme. In February 2010, MSF staff began providing care to patients in the paediatric and maternity departments of Am Timan hospital. By the end of the year the team was also working in three health centres around Am Timan. They set up mobile clinics to make treatment for malnutrition more easily available to more people, and offered antenatal care. In total, close to 1,030 babies were delivered, more than 1,750 patients were hospitalised, and 2,970 children were admitted to the nutrition programme. In the city of Abéché, MSF assisted more than 3,400 deliveries and treated 144 women with obstetric fistula (injuries to the birth canal). Malaria in MoissalaIn Moissala, a district in southern Chad, malaria is endemic throughout the year, although the number of cases peaks during and after the rainy season, between July and November. If a person with malaria is not treated quickly, the disease can cause death, especially in children and pregnant women. In several health centres in the region, MSF staff trained community health workers to screen patients for malaria and offer early treatment for simple cases. People suffering complicated cases of malaria were referred to Moissala hospital, where MSF runs a 50-bed malaria treatment unit. More than 20,000 patients were treated for malaria over five months. More than 1,030 patients were hospitalised in the malaria treatment unit. MeaslesDuring the first months of 2010, there was an outbreak of measles in the capital city, N'Djamena. Staff cared for more than 1,000 patients, nearly 420 of whom had to be hospitalised. MSF also donated drugs and medical supplies to help health centres treat more than 2,770 patients. In March and April, MSF immunised more than 482,000 children. Emergency nutrition programmesWhile responding to the measles outbreak, MSF staff observed high rates of acute malnutrition among children. This led to the opening of a nutrition programme in N'Djamena in March. The existing nutrition programmes in Dogdoré, Kerfi and Am Timan were strengthened, and a further 11 emergency programmes were opened in N'Djamena, the western regions of Hadjer Lamis, Kanem, Lac, Mayo Kebbi Est and Chari Baguirmi, Batha and Guera in central Chad, and Salamat in the southeast. In total, MSF treated more than 27,650 children, of whom more than 21,740 were severely malnourished. CholeraIn September, there was an outbreak of cholera in N'Djamena. MSF teams set up treatment centres in three of the city's hospitals. "The fact that more people are getting sick with cholera now is probably related to the fact that the heavy rains and floods hit a population that was already weakened. There have been recent outbreaks of measles and high levels of malnutrition, so people's immune systems are low – a typical scenario for cholera outbreaks," said Alexis Bahati, medical team leader in Bokoro. Staff treated close to 1,300 patients and donated drugs in the Bongor and Madelia districts, south of the city, and responded to outbreaks in Bokoro, Pala and Fianga, where almost 700 patients were treated. By the end of the year, 6,300 cholera patients had been registered across the country. MeningitisIn March and April, MSF treated more than 1,280 patients for meningitis in the southern regions of Logoné Oriental and Tandjilé. Vaccination campaigns were carried out in Logoné Oriental, Mandoul and Tandjilé, and MSF and the Ministry of Health vaccinated some 765,000 people between the ages of 2 and 29. |

text: Breech presentation When babies are aligned in the uterus to come out buttocks first, as opposed to head first--the way most babies come out of the uterus--it is called a breech presentation. The head is the largest part of a full term baby's body. Therefore, delivery of the buttocks first may not adequately open up the birth canal enough for the head to pass through. The head may then get stuck in the birth canal, leaving the infant and mother in a precarious situation. Most babies with a breech presentation are delivered by cesarean section. On occasion the infant can be turned around so that he is lined up to come out head first.

University Assessment Committee
August 29, 2013
Due December 7, 2013 -
August 31, 2012
Due May 20, 2013 Self-Studies including Assessment Report in Weave
According to the 2012-2013 GVSU Faculty Handbook:
h. UAC Committee Membership
i. Faculty Membership: Faculty membership of the UAC consists of seven faculty members from CLAS, two from Seidman College of Business, one from each of the remaining colleges, one from the university libraries. Service unit membership of the UAC consists of two representatives from the Advising Resource/Advising Council, one from Student Services and one from Academic Services/Information Technology, appointed by the Provost with recommendation from vice presidents responsible for the preceding groups.
Academic and service unit representatives serve three-year staggered terms beginning at the end of the winter semester.
ii. Student Membership: One student representative selected by the Student Senate will serve for a term of one year.
iii. Adminstration Membership: The Director of the Pew Faculty Teaching and Learning Center ex officio, non-voting and the Provost or designee ex officio, non-voting.
UAC Committee Meetings
Generally, the UAC meets every other Monday, from 3-5pm as an entire committee. Alternate Mondays are typically used by subcommittees to meet and review documents. Fall meetings are held in Allendale. Winter term meetings take place on the Pew campus.
UAC Responsibilities
The 2011-2012 Faculty Handbook reads as follows: The UAC's primary responsibility is to oversee and support the process of assessing units (including assessing student learning outcomes). It does so by reviewing assessment plans, progress reports, and self-studies for all academic majors, academic units, and service units.
2012-2013 Committee Charge
- Continue to provide leadership and support to university constituents as they implement the six year self-study plans and three year learning outcome reports provided for in the University Assessment Philosophy and Policies endorsed by UAS on April 22, 2005.
- Continue to monitor the Faculty Handbook language on assessment and propose any necessary language revisions that will clearly separate assessment philosophy, policy and procedure from each other as well as making a recommendation as to whether any of the procedural language should be removed from the Faculty Handbook.
- Please implement a web-based system for assessment review which is capable of sending out reminders to relevant parties at 1-year, 6-month and 3-month time frames.
- Provide language for Faculty Handbook update on the committee membership due to the restructuring of the Pew FTLC as part of the Provost's Office as well as the need to more accurately describe service unit representation on the UAC.
- Continue to work with General Education and academic units to explore/develop meaningful ways to enhance assessment policies and procedures, as a service to the university.
For additional information about the University Assessment Committee policies and/or procedures, please contact Shari Bartz-Smith, UAC chair, firstname.lastname@example.com.
For policies and procedures associated with self study reports and assessment, please see "UAC Philosophy & Policies."

On January 15, 2013, the FASB issued an exposure draft to amend the accounting for repurchase agreements (aka "repos") in an effort to identify those transactions that should be accounted for as a secured borrowing and to improve the associated accounting and disclosure requirements.
This project began from a request that the FASB review the accounting for a particular type of repurchase agreement referred to as a repo-to-maturity1. As part of its research, the FASB staff engaged in discussions with financial statement users, preparers, and accounting firms to better understand these transactions and the associated accounting.
The proposed amendment would require that a transfer of an existing financial asset with an agreement that both entitles and obligates the transferor to repurchase or redeem the transferred asset from the transferee with all of the following characteristics be accounted for as a secured borrowing:
As a result, repo-to-maturity transactions, which may currently be accounted for as sales with an obligation to repurchase, are now likely to be accounted for as secured borrowings. Arrangements that do not meet the above criteria will be evaluated under the existing guidance for transfers of financial assets.
The FASB also proposes certain clarifications to the characteristics to qualify as "substantially the same."
Repurchase financing agreements
The proposed amendment eliminates the current model for repurchase financings that are defined as a transfer of a financial asset back to the party from whom it was purchased as collateral for a financing transaction. The current model requires a determination of whether repurchase agreements entered into as part of a repurchase financing should be accounted for separately or as a linked transaction. This amendment will require that the initial transfer and repurchase agreement be evaluated separately under the sale accounting criteria.
The proposal requires additional disclosures for repurchase agreements and similar transactions depending on if the transaction is treated as a sale or a secured borrowing. Refer to In brief 2012-42, FASB determines additional disclosure requirements for repurchase agreements, for more discussion of the new disclosures.
For transfers with forward repurchase agreements that settle at the maturity of the transferred financial asset (repos-to-maturity) and repurchase financings that involve such agreements, the proposed guidance would be applied by recording a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of the date of adoption. For all other transactions, entities would apply the proposed guidance prospectively to transactions entered into or modified after the effective date.
While this is a FASB-only project, it could result in greater consistency in the accounting for repurchase transactions under U.S. GAAP and IFRS, even though the underlying approach differs. IFRS requires a "risk and rewards" approach that generally results in treating repurchase agreements as secured borrowings.
This project is likely to affect some companies that engage in certain types of repurchase agreements, including repos-to-maturity. The proposed standard will also affect companies that engage in repurchase financing agreements and currently account for the components as a linked transaction. The proposed additional disclosures will impact all companies who engage in repurchase transactions
The FASB will establish the effective date when it issues the final amendments.
Comments on the FASB's exposure draft are due March 29, 2013.

1A repo-to-maturity is a repurchase agreement in which the specified repurchase date is the maturity date of the transferred financial asset.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — The three finalists for the Lakewood Ranch High School Principal position possibly met their toughest critics during a community forum June 30 at Lakewood Ranch High School.
The contenders — current Lakewood Ranch Assistant Principal Don Sauer, current Manatee High School Assistant Principal Linda Nesselhauf and Melanie Metz, an assistant principal in New York — introduced themselves to staff and parents before presenting their top priorities and strategies as administrators and fielding questions from them in separate forums.
Parents probed finalists about everything from improving the school's image and safety on campus to their opinions about fine arts programs.
"We need somebody who is going to enforce the rules fairly," said Kathy Stasiowski, whose son, Ryan, is going into the 10th grade at Lakewood. "We would prefer somebody who is very familiar with Lakewood Ranch High School — somebody who knows what's going on here."
Robin Draper, who attended the meeting although her two children have already graduated, emphasized that the new principal should make safety a top priority.
"I think the safety and security of the school and the curriculum are most important," she said.
Community and Lakewood staff members who attended the forum provided feedback and comments about each candidate to the school district. Officials will use the information gathered there in deciding on who will best serve Lakewood Ranch High School.
The finalists will now go on to interviews with Superintendent Tim McGonegal and Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Lynette Edwards.

(this is based off my answer to a comment on AfterEllen's Poll of Favorite Lesbian/Bi TV Character)
Why people like Paige McCullers?
Identification, I'd say. I believe that identification is the main factor that makes you like a character. It could be identification because you are similar to what the character is or because the character is what you wish you were.
Our tag is blowing up with lesbians telling us why Paige McCullers deserves a victory for Favorite Les/Bi Character in our Visibility Awards. Hit us up with your posts making the case for your favorite character and we'll reblog the best of the best. (Don't forget to tag it "AfterEllen" so we can find it!)
Paige, how are you feeling now that you've pulled ahead of Santana?
Don't try to look away from Pretty Little Liars' entry into the Hottest Hookup poll, or Emily Fields will caress your neck and make you listen. She was looking for something, OK? She was looking for someone. And she came here.
Warning; This post is rambly
When I first started watching Pretty Little Liars just over a year ago, the idea that I would be writing an essay on the importance of Paige McCullers would never have crossed my mind and yet that is exactly what I'm doing.
Minister tells us why she thinks Paige McCullers deserves the Visibility Award for Favorite Lesbian/Bi TV Character.
Hit us up on Twitter (@afterellen) with a link to your Tumblr post telling us why your favorite lesbian/bi character should win. We'll reblog our favorites!
Emily chose Paige. You'll definitely have some Paily moments.
I kind of like hearing her say things like "PLL" and "Pailey."
