It seems as if every important community event in Port Washington features Barbara Faticone, often as the "in-charge," and always an active participant. In fact, she told us that her friends sometimes tease her because her picture appears so often in the Port News. Her answer is typically, "Well, come on out and get involved and you'll get your picture in the paper, too." The Town of North Hempstead (TONH) has acknowledged the accomplishments of this amazing woman by naming her to the 2008 May W. Newburger Women's Roll of Honor. The award will be presented on Thursday, March 27 at the Women's Roll of Honor breakfast at the Clinton D. Martin Park.
We asked this bundle of energy (one friend described her as "the Energizer bunny") how she does so much. She shrugged modestly, and said, "I don't know." After talking with her at length, however, it became clear what the secret is: she deeply loves Port Washington and thoroughly enjoys what she does. Barbara Faticone (nee DeFeo) was born and brought up here in Port, as was her husband Tom. "I love this town," she said. She shared happy memories of growing up on North Maryland Avenue. "It was a great block. There were so many nationalities, so much diversity. Nobody had much money, but we had a wonderful time." She said that, even now, she feels a thrill when she comes back from out of town and sees that "spectacular sunset over the harbor."
Barbara and Tom are both Schreiber graduates, he from the first graduating class and she one year behind. Last year they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. They are constant companions; wherever you see Barbara, Tom usually is not far away. She said, "Tommy helps me a lot. Without him, I couldn't do what I do." Tom, when asked to comment about his wife, simply and movingly said, "I've known her almost all my life. I love her, and I'm glad to be married to her." The Faticones have lived in their charming home on Manhasset Isle, which is decorated throughout with Barbara's signature touches of pink, for almost 50 years. They have three children, Wendy, Keith and Thomas, and three grandchildren. Wendy lives in Port and is also involved in community activities. Her first cousin, Pat Lamberti, owns and runs Bayles nursery with his sons.
Not surprisingly, one of Barbara's favorite and longstanding involvements is Pride in Port. She joined the committee in 1989, shortly after its founding, and has been the general chair for about 10 years. She told us that the initiative began with the purpose of generating more "spirit" in the schools and in the community. It grew until today it includes a homecoming game, a parade, a homecoming dance and a Pride in Port Dance, field day for the children and their families, a pep rally, and other events. In recent years, she said, the school district has been much more active and the events have become more popular. As well, they have more student participation, and there are now two students on the committee. Barbara noted that when the group first started, the stands at the game were empty. "Now," she said, "there is standing room only. The spirit is back!" She remarked, "When I see all the children and their parents in the parade, and the strollers, and everybody cheering and smiling, it makes me happy. It makes all the work worthwhile." In 1997, the Faticones were grand marshals of the Pride in Port parade.
Another charity to which Barbara devotes a great deal of her time is Cancer Care of Long Island, of which she is a 35-year life member and an executive vice president. The organization provides support services to persons living with cancer and their families, including education, referral, counseling, and some financial assistance. The big fundraising event here in Port is the Red Stocking Review, coming up on April 10 through 13. Barbara not only has chaired the Review for the past 22 years, but she and Tom perform as well. She said, "I have performed in every show since 1971."
To list a few of her other accomplishments, Barbara is president of the Doe Club of the North Shore Elks Lodge, past president of the Port Washington Columbiettes, member of the Concerned Citizens of Manorhaven and the Sons of Italy, member of the Harborfest Committee, board member of the Port Washington senior citizens' center, co-chair of the Nativity committee, and an active parishioner at Our Lady of Fatima. In 2002, then county legislator (now state senator) Craig Johnson honored Barbara as the Trailblazer from the eleventh legislative district. In presenting the award, he said, "I hope that she inspires others to try to make a difference because her tireless efforts have certainly set a standard not only for women, but for everyone." The Rotary Club honored Barbara and Tom in 1997 for outstanding community service; the Masons bestowed on her the DeWitt Clinton award for outstanding community service in 1999, and Barbara was named Mother of the Year by the New York State Elks in 1989. Oh, and she worked for over 20 years for Publisher's Clearing House (in her spare time).
When asked what message she had for our readers, Barbara was quick to answer. "Get involved. We need more people to step up to the plate, especially the younger ones. We need new ideas." She suggested that Pride in Port is a wonderful way for parents to get involved.
If we listed all the good things that we have heard over the years from her friends and colleagues, it could fill a good part of this edition of the paper. One of her fellow Pride in Port committee members summed it up: "I think she's some kind of saint." Thanks, Barbara, for everything you do for our community.

I'm becoming all those things he didn't want me to be. Is it conscious volition, subliminal inclinations or merely a coincidence? Am I immaturely resisting this amorphous control he has over me, or simply becoming myself again?
So many questions I cannot answer.
So many things i wanted to write about... But too tired now, I must sleep. I'm just going to make a list for now, because writing about it at this moment would not do it justice.
The sun was shining and I had decided to take a break from my laptop.
I went out and played with Lacy my dog and it was so warm out so I took out a book and did some reading.
And guess what me and my little brother barely fought at all, and the one time was only because (yes I admit it) I was being an idiot, I tricked Lacy into knocking him over, but I apologized, and it was okay and by the end of the day we were friends again (usually he holds a grudge longer).
For some reason I find weekends oddly depressing now. Maybe it's just all the time I have with no excuse to hide in my little nerd-cave being unsociable. Homework is the usual excuse, but I can't ever pretend I have a whole weekend's worth of it.

Thought Field Therapy as a Tool for Delivering Relief Services to Survivors of Violent Conflict in Uganda

- How to Read a Study Record
Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a simple technique that involves tapping on points of the body corresponding to the meridians used in acupuncture. By using specific sequences, TFT can be used to treat a variety of psychological problems. Patients can be taught to treat themselves, and lay people can be trained to treat others in their community, as has been shown for narrative exposure therapy.
Thought Field Therapy has been used to treat whole communities who have suffered psychological trauma following natural disasters and violent conflicts. In these circumstances, TFT can be used as a stand-alone therapy, or as an adjunct to other psychological therapies, by removing the pain of re-living the traumatic events.
Studies in Rwanda have shown that individuals within a community can be treated with brief TFT sessions. Both short-term and longer-term improvements in scores of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) measurement scales have been demonstrated.
The Kasese District has suffered from factional conflicts and the consequences of the ongoing struggles in neighbouring countries for many years. Although the government has controlled the situation and secured the borders, many are still haunted by the psychological consequences.
The purpose of the study is to validate the model of addressing widespread psychological trauma following conflict by training community leaders to help others in their community using TFT.
Thirty-six community leaders will be given a two-day training in algorithm level trauma-relief TFT. They will then treat 128 volunteers for their traumas, using TFT, who will be assessed before and after treatment by the post-traumatic stress disorder check-list questionnaire for civilians (PCL-C). As a control, a further 128 volunteers will join a wait-list group, who will be assessed at the same time, but treated later.
PCL-C scores before and after treatment will be compared with the wait-list group scores before and after waiting, but before their treatment.

King Charles - Time Of Eternity Video
Please wait while the video player loads..
"Time Of Eternity" Video Review
As a London schoolboy King Charles learned the cello, sang in the choir with his classically trained treble, and eventually fell in love with country music. "Music was a good way to take the edge off the cliché of the young poet", jokes Charles.
"Time Of Eternity" is a sinister yet romantic picture of skewed psychedelia. Within the frantic, Pixies meets Syd Barrett explosion of chaos, lies a melodic heart, a pop song fighting its way out of the sonic maze.

BOSTON - The boos rained down on Boston College head coach Frank Spaziani at the end of regulation, from frustration over both a dismal season and his decision to hold for overtime.
A few minutes later, the Eagles were walking off the field losers again _ and maybe Spaziani's final home game as Boston College's coach.
Logan Thomas threw for two touchdowns _ the second a 7-yarder to Randall Dunn in OT _ and ran for another score to help Virginia Tech keep its bowl hopes alive with a 30-23 comeback win over Boston College on Saturday.
After the Hokies marched 62 yards in 10 plays, with Cody Journell's third field goal of the game _ a 41-yarder _ tying it at 23-all with 65 seconds left, BC took over on its 17 and ran a draw play for only 2 yards. Then the Eagles coach decided to hold the ball for OT.
"There are a lot of factors that are involved in it," he said. "We ran the draw hoping we were going to get a good play on first down and we were going to up-tempo it. They could have made us punt, we could have thrown an incompletion, wound up punting, they kick a field goal, win the game and the game's over."
But it all ended a few minutes later. The Eagles are assured of having their win total decline for the fourth straight year.
"I think you definitely want to (move the ball) there, but since we didn't have a great (kickoff) return before that it was tough," BC quarterback Chase Rettig said. "A lot of times the decision on whether or not you go there depends on the quality of the kickoff return."
The Eagles (2-9, 1-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) look to avoid matching their worst record since 1989 next week at North Carolina State.
"Great win for us," Hokies coach Frank Beamer said. "We're going to enjoy this one for three or four hours and then we are going to get ready for Virginia."
The Hokies (5-6, 3-4) need to beat Virginia at home next Saturday to become bowl-eligible for the 20th straight season.
The victory snapped Virginia Tech's seven-game losing streak away from Lane Stadium. It was their longest since nine straight in Beamer's first two seasons _ 1987-88.
Thomas completed 16 of 33 passes for 247 yards and added a 1-yard touchdown run.
Rolandan Finch rushed 26 times for 133 yards and Nate Freese booted three field goals for BC.
Rettig was 13 of 30 for 129 yards and one touchdown for the Eagles.
Boston College won the toss before overtime and elected to play defense first. Virginia Tech scored on its initial possession.
The Hokies then held BC, tackling David Dudeck 5 yards short after he caught a swing pass from Rettig on a fourth-and-11 play.
With Virginia Tech holding a 20-16 edge, BC grabbed the lead when Dudeck, a freshman, took a handoff, hesitated at the line and burst through an open hole for his first career a TD run _ a 12-yarder with 4:11 to play.
Virginia Tech, which trailed by 10 at the half, took a 17-13 lead on Thomas' 37-yard TD pass to Marcus Davis late in the third quarter. The play came on a third-and-17 after BC elected to accept a holding call and move the Hokies out of field goal range. The Eagles had stopped Thomas on a scramble up the middle on the prior play near the 22.
On the ensuing drive, Freese's third field goal of the game _ a 42-yarder _ cut it to 17-16, but Journell's 42-yard field goal with 6:15 to play restored the Hokies' four-point lead.
Trailing 13-3, the Hokies' Demitri Knowles returned the second-half kickoff 75 yards to the Eagles' 20. Seven plays later, Thomas lunged the ball across the goal line on fourth-and-goal from the 1 after being stopped initially at the line. The play was reviewed and upheld.
BC grabbed a 10-3 lead early into the second quarter when Rettig connected on a well-executed, play-action pass for a 2-yard TD to Alex Amidon, who was wide open in the right corner of the end zone. Finch ran for 38 yards and Rettig hit tight end Chris Pantale for 23 on the 86-yard drive.
Beamer made what ended up being a costly decision late in the half, helping give BC enough time to march down for a 35-yard field goal by Freese with 4 seconds left in the half.

By Elias Khnaser
CTO, Sigma Solutions
In part one, I offered a high-level overview of a suggested end-user computing strategy. Let's break down the topics, starting with the desktop strategy.
Desktop Strategy
While we may be in the post-PC era, it doesn't mean that physical desktops and laptops are going to disappear. We need to continue to fine-tune and deploy desktop management tools like Microsoft SCCM and others. On the other hand, ignoring desktop virtualization and VDI is also not acceptable anymore and continuing the rhetoric and debate about CAPEX vs. OPEX costs and the exaggerated costs of VDI is just a bunch of "malarkey" (sorry, I had to find a use for this word).
A well-planned and designed desktop virtualization infrastructure can be very cost-effective and cheaper than a physical implementation. It is also about time to position the benefits of desktop virtualization from a business perspective, BC/DR, flexibility and more. We must look beyond how much is it going to cost and consider what we gain. Anyone can lie with numbers and you can make them look the way you want, so let's agree to just get past the TCO of desktop virtualization — it has a place and it is an integral part of the strategy.
Mobile Device Management, Mobile Application Management and Mobile Information Management — they're all new terms, all colorful terms. And so, with the mobile device explosion we need to evolve our mindset from one that has traditionally always been about controlling the device to one that governs the device. Better yet, we should govern enterprise resources on these devices. MDM will aid in enforcing device passwords, remote selective wipe of the enterprise resources on the device, encryption, reporting, etc.
MAM is about mobile applications, sandboxing and encapsulating mobile applications so that we can apply policies against them. Without sandbox or application wrapping, it will be very difficult for enterprises to control what applications can and cannot do. This is especially apparent with native e-mail clients. Without sandboxing the e-mail client, mobile applications that get installed on the device could gain access to corporate contacts and information that otherwise would not be allowed. Native e-mail clients are also so embedded into the mobile OS that it is difficult to sandbox them. That's why organizations such as Citrix, VMware and others now provide their own version of a sandboxed e-mail as a complimentary alternative.
MAM can also serve as a consolidated application store for the enterprise where Windows, SaaS, mobile and other applications can be consumed. This is, again, a technology where there might be overlap between MDM vendors and enterprises such as Citrix and VMware. As you are making your technology selection, choose a MAM solution that could integrate best with your desktop strategy and technology partner selection.
Mobile Information Management, also known as Mobile Data Management, provides essentially a Dropbox-like functionality for the enterprise. The idea here is to enforce policy-driven security that would allow or deny file syncing to certain devices in certain locations. More granularly, it would allow or disallow certain file types on certain devices, etc.
Social Enterprise / Collaboration
Do you really enjoy sending one-word e-mails, e-mails that say "Thank you" or "Yes"? Do you enjoy searching through thousands of e-mails to locate the conversation you were having, or to find a file attachment? If you are like me, you probably despise e-mail — I truly hate e-mail and in my consulting world, when working on a customer's statement of work, we start versioning the SOW and send it back and forth. There has got to be an easier way. What if we had a Facebook-like enterprise where we can collaborate with colleagues? Better yet, what if this social enterprise can be linked to our MIM solution so that we can drag files and collaborate on them while they are in a centralized, secure location?
Of course social platforms still need to mature somewhat for the enterprise and you have to be able to answer questions such as:
- What level of use of social networking will you allow?
- Are any social networking services more enterprise-friendly than others?
- How are they used for work purposes? (crucial question)
- How do you see social enterprise changing communication and collaboration behavior at your company?
I will take one step further and say that I believe social enterprise platforms such as SocialCast and Podio and others have the potential to become the next desktop and I have blogged about them here several times.
Every customer tells me they have a wireless infrastructure and while I recognize that a wireless infrastructure is part of the DNA of every enterprise, for the most part, what many dismiss or disregard is that these wireless infrastructures were not built to handle the number of devices that are or will be connecting connecting to the infrastructure. More important, however, are the types of services delivered over these wireless infrastructures that are significantly different.
Remember, in an end-user computing strategy, you have to take into account remoting protocols like PCoIP, HDX, RDP and others. You also have to take into account the new and updated technologies that could make other services better. So, please don't ignore the wireless infrastructure.
We are also looking for a secure and scalable infrastructure with pervasive coverage to detect and mitigate sources of interference. A wireless infrastructure capable of location tracking will tie very nicely with your MDM tools to enable or disable certain functionality depending on your geographic location.
There is no way you are thinking about an end-user computing strategy and BYOD in particular without taking into account security generally and network access control in particular. You should be investigating and planning to control wired and wireless access and dynamic differentiated access policies, enforcing context-based security, and providing self-service access and guest lifecycle management via agent or agentless approaches.
Now it's your turn. Do you agree that an end-user computing strategy is needed? And if so, how we can refine and fine-tune the strategy I laid out here? Comment away!

|Jus est suum cuique
tribuere, the Latin maxim that inspired one of her
law professors, who later became a judge, also guides the
Honourable Alice Desjardins LL.M. 67. The words
mean "justice is to give each what is owed to
him," she explains. "It is the work of a
lifetime to reach this goal."
A member of the HLSA Executive Committee, Desjardins traveled to Rome from Canada, where she is the first and still the only woman to serve as a justice of the Federal Court of Canada, Appeal Division, the countrys second highest court. (She is also a justice on the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada.)
"The Federal Court is a traveling court," Desjardins says. "The Court sits and transacts business at any place in Canada to suit the convenience of the parties." The Court is also bilingual, as is Desjardins; the judges are required under Canadas Official Languages Act to understand both French and English proceedings without the assistance of an interpreter.
A high-profile case that tested Desjardins Latin
motto is Conway v. The Queen, for which she
rendered the majority judgment. Male prisoners
After the trial judge ruled that female guards could only interact with male prisoners in their cells without their consent in emergencies, the case was sent to the Federal Court of Appeal. In rejecting the lower courts decision, Desjardins opinion addressed whether the prisoners "interest in being left alone by government has to give way to the governments interest in intruding on the individuals privacy in order to advance its goals."
With many more men than women in the prison system, female guards would lose employment opportunities if allowed to work only in womens prisons. And although the male prisoners would indeed lose some privacy if female guards were used, Desjardins gave more weight to evidence indicating that the employment of women improved the quality of prison life and inmate rehabilitation.
Desjardins received her bachelors degree and law degree at the University of Montreal. After entering the Quebec Bar in 1958, she spent two years at the London School of Economics and Political Science at the University of London, where she researched Indian and Australian comparative constitutional law.
In 1961 she became the first woman to teach fulltime in a Canadian law school, at the University of Montreal, where she taught constitutional law. Historically, women were the mainstay of Canadian education at the primary level, particularly in rural Canada; Desjardins faculty appointment was a leap forward.
She took a leave from the University of Montreal to enter Harvards LL.M. program in 1966, on a Ford Foundation scholarship. "To be at Harvard was a tremendous experience, a place," she says, "where one is constantly driven to extend the limits of ones skills."
After her graduation, Desjardins interned in the legal division of the UN Secretariat in New York City. She then resumed teaching until 1969, when she entered federal public service as legal counsel in the Privy Council Office. In 1973 she left that post to serve as senior policy officer in the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs. In 1974 she was appointed Queens Counsel and became the director for Advisory and Administrative Law in Canadas Department of Justice, and in 1981 she received her first judicial appointment, to the Quebec Superior Court, where she served till 1987.
What brought Desjardins to Rome above all was the
likelihood of meeting more international alumni, at the
While in Rome, Desjardins took every opportunity to visit works of art and architecture. A fascination with French cathedrals often inspires her own travels. In France she will pass an entire day in a cathedral, she says, peering through binoculars "to make sure I remember the finest lines." In icebergs, her other favorite object of study, which she has tracked down in Greenland, Antarctica, and the Canadian Arctic, Desjardins finds the same architectural perfection, "and perhaps greater beauty. These mastodons move slowly, in terrifying peace."
Desjardins travels this month to Cambridge to take part in Celebration 45. She is excited by "the new energy released as more women attain positions of great responsibility. I look forward to discovering the different perspectives that are developing as a result."

A twist is a way to share your own spin on our recipies!
|3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
|4 large eggs, beaten
|3 cups milk
|2 tablespoons salted butter
|1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
|2 ripe but firm bananas, peeled and diced
|1 tablespoon vanilla extract
|2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
|1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
|8 cups cubed firm white bread
|1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
|Vanilla gelato
|1 disk Ibarra Mexican chocolate, broken into pieces
|Fresh strawberries
|2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Using half of the shortening, grease the bottom, corners, and halfway up the sides of the slow cooker insert. Line the insert with an 18-inch piece of aluminum foil, smoothing it carefully into the corners and against the sides. Grease the foil with the remaining shortening.
In a 2-quart saucepan over low heat, heat the milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until the milk is steaming, but do not allow it to boil. Turn off the heat and stir in the Ibarra chocolate and 11/2 cups of the chocolate chips. Stir with a whisk until the chocolate has melted. Let cool to lukewarm, then whisk in the beaten eggs.
While the milk cools, melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the bananas and brown sugar and sauté for several minutes, until the bananas are glazed.
Place the bread in a large mixing bowl. Add the chocolate mixture, the sautéed bananas, and the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Stir well.
Pour the bread pudding into the cooker, cover, and cook on low 4 to 41/2 hours, or until puffed and firm. For the last 30 minutes, open the lid a small crack to let excess steam escape. Uncover and let cool in the insert for 30 minutes. Serve from the cooker, or unmold onto a plate: Run a rubber spatula around the edges to loosen. Grasp the ends of the foil and lift out of the insert. Turn upside down, peel off the foil, and turn right side up onto a serving plate. Serve warm or cold, with a scoop of gelato on top and the strawberries alongside.
If you have access to a Mexican panadería, you can make this dessert with churros instead of bread. Reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup and eliminate the cinnamon.

I was driving in the East Village early yesterday morning and the remnants of NYC pride looked a bit as though a very large unicorn puked up glitter and rainbows.
In honor of these festivities I'm sharing Jessi and Lizzy's rainbow themed lesbian wedding photos because even though I have a bit of an aversion to color schemes that aren't monochromatic (I am such a bore in that way) I do feel my heart swell with pride when I see all these colors. Who can't fall in love with a rainbow kabob?
From Double K Photography: Jessi & Lizzy were married in New York City on July 24th 2011. We were able to be present as photographers to capture their intimate wedding reception in April in Lafayette, Indiana! They clearly love each other, and their family & friends adore them too! It was a great way to spend an evening!

When I went to China for vacation, I found it extremely difficult to find a decent cup of coffee in "The Middle Kingdom." It made sense, since China was–and continues to be–a tea-dominated society.
I have nothing against tea, but sometimes only a cup of coffee will do.
In Korea, you will not find a lack of coffee shops. You'll find cafes on every corner, on the streets, and even in the smallest nooks. And if you are in need of more of an instantaneous caffeine fix there are numerous coffee machines dispensing sweet milky instant coffee.
Korea is a coffee society, but how did that happen? Prior to the turn of the 20th century, Korea was basically a tea-based culture.
According to Professor Jia Choi of Ewha University, the popularity of coffee comes from a mix of different influences. One of the main influences was from Emperor Sunjong of Korea. Emperor Sunjong was the last king of Korea and he would often have western style dinner parties at the palace. They would have western style plate and silverware settings and food such as steak and potatoes or roast beef. They even sat in western-style chairs and were served on western-style tables. I know that you might think this might sound like a moot point, but before Emperor Sunjong every meal was served on the floor and tables piled with food were brought before the king. So back in the 1920s, a western style dinner was quite revolutionary.
And after dinner, the Emperor and his father, Emperor Gojong would drink coffee. They were passionate for the drink and other members of nobility would join them as well. And since the king represented the idea of nobility and style, the common people started to drink coffee as well.
The Japanese found about the king's affection for this drink and there was even a plot to kill the king by poisoning his coffee. Luckily, the plot was uncovered and the King wasn't killed.
That might explain why coffee is synonymous with being a luxury drink in Korea, but Professor Choi has another theory: it matches the Korean taste. She believes that Koreans really like bitter and strong tastes like chili and kimchi. I agree with her because I have found many great coffee shops selling dark, robust coffees these days. I see many Koreans preferring black to coffee with cream and sugar.
One of my favorite places to get a cup is at Coffee 1 cup in Bucheon-dong. This shop is a tribute to coffee shops of old, which were called dabangs. Dabangs were known as places where new couples could meet and talk in secret. This dabang's interior is a tribute to old: raw concrete walls scrawled with notes and covered in posters; there is also a chandelier made out of rainbow colored plastic straws hanging from the ceiling.
And the coffee?
The best that I've had in the city. They roast their own beans and, here, you'll find Brazilian, Guatemalan, Columbian and Tanzanian coffee on the menu. They make a hand drip coffee that is as black as obsidian and warms you like a cashmere sweater. It's alarmingly good.
One note. Here, it takes about 8 minutes to make your coffee because the barista fresh grinds your beans and then slowly drips in order to coax all of the flavor out of each bean.
I definitely recommend you go to Coffee 1 Cup (커피한잔).
Directions: Go out Anguk Station Exit 3(Subway Line 3) and make the left at corner across from the large Hyundai building. Go down about 3 blocks and you'll see it on your left.

Use our beautifully designed and high converting light box popups toŌĆ"
ŌĆ£PopUp Domination is a plugin that I installed to my website that had a drastic effect on my conversions. My opt ins increased significantly overnight. We all know that one of the most important aspects of internet marketing is building a list. PopUp domination takes that concept and builds on it to make it a much faster process.
I installed PopUp Domination on my website, and my conversions increased by 568%. If you are an internet marketer in ANY way, I HIGHLY recommend PopUp Domination, because itŌĆÖs probably the product that will make the biggest difference in your conversions.ŌĆØ
Leslie Samuel
PopUp Domination comes as both WordPress and as a Standalone version, meaning you can install it on a variety of platforms.
This takes about five minutes, and you can change everything from the color and header, to the image and call-to-action.
ŌĆ£I really love that I can easily preview what I have created through Popup Domination Plugin. The ease of getting to see what I have done makes me know if it is already good to go or if I should still make changes.
Without a doubt, you should give Popup Domination Plugin a chance to work on your website so you can realize how easy it is to create beautiful pop-ups that really deliver consistent results.ŌĆØ
Jen Morgan
PopUp Domination comes with nine different high-converting PopUp themes. Each design has been tested to maximize conversion rates.
Our popups are available in 14 different colors so that you can always find one to match your theme, which will stop it from appearing spammy.
You can customise your popupŌĆÖs header text while still keeping the professionally designed template, for the best conversions possible.
Some of the popup themes allow you to add a paragraph of text, which can be used to better encourage people to sign up to your offer.
Detail the benefits of your offer in easy-to-read bullet points, so that you can quickly, and easily convince your visitors to give you their email address.
Using images is a great way to increase the perceived value of your offer, which is why we also offer themes with space for a small image.
Add your call to action text in the form header so that your visitors are being told exactly what to do. This will improve your conversion rate.
A/B test your popups with different button text, such as ŌĆśDownload NowŌĆÖ, ŌĆśGet Instant AccessŌĆÖ and ŌĆśNext StepŌĆÖ, to see which converts the best.
Make sure people know where you stand when it comes to information sharing with a custom security note that will make them happy to sign up.
ŌĆ£I hate popups ŌĆō just like every other internet user. But this is different. It really works. In fact, it works really, really well.
This is the type of tool that will literally make the difference between success and failure in your online business. Or if you are already doing well, it will increase your profits exponentially.
In my two week test period, I saw the following results: Overall signups increased by 494% using the PopUp Domination tool compared to the previous two week period.
PopUp Domination doesnŌĆÖt have a ŌĆ£spammyŌĆØ feel. It looks very professional and it works really well.ŌĆØ

If you have content that you only want subscribers to see, you can create a popup that canŌĆÖt be exited until the visitor has subscribed to your list.
The popup can appear immediately, or if you donŌĆÖt want it to be so intrusive, you can have the popup to appear as your visitor goes to leave the page.

ŌĆ£If you have a website that collects details of potential customers, then PopUp Domination is for you. It will dramatically increase your opt-in rates.
PopUp Domination is a brilliant product that is completely different to what you ever thought about popups.

Police in suburban Detroit are seeking information about a 55-year-old man last seen riding his bike away from his home.
Troy police say Monday that investigators were trying to determine if evidence of a possible assault at the home is related to Patrick Mikes' disappearance.
Capt. Robert Redmond says one person is being held, but no one has been charged in the case.
Mikes was seen Friday afternoon leaving home on his black Cannondale Super 6 road bike. The bike has red handlebars.
His two sons, ages 21 and 16, reported Mikes missing Sunday morning. That's when officers noticed evidence of an assault at the house north of Detroit.
Mikes rides about 50 miles on weekends.

Doctors concerned about Facebook use and depression in teens
Doctors are concerned that Facebook can lead to depression among some teens, Associated Press Medical Writer Lindsey Tanner is reporting today.
This provides one more caution for parents about their children's use of social networking sites. Below is a portion of Tanner's report.
CHICAGO (AP) — Add "Facebook depression" to potential harms linked with social media, an influential doctors' group warns, referring to a condition it says may affect troubled teens who obsess over the online site.
Researchers disagree on whether it's simply an extension of depression some kids feel in other circumstances, or a distinct condition linked with using the online site.
But there are unique aspects of Facebook that can make it a particularly tough social landscape to navigate for kids already dealing with poor self-esteem, said Dr. Gwenn O'Keeffe, a Boston-area pediatrician and lead author of new American Academy of Pediatrics social media guidelines.
With in-your-face friends' tallies, status updates and photos of happy-looking people having great times, Facebook pages can make some kids feel even worse if they think they don't measure up.
It can be more painful than sitting alone in a crowded school cafeteria or other real-life encounters that can make kids feel down, O'Keeffe said, because Facebook provides a skewed view of what's really going on. Online, there's no way to see facial expressions or read body language that provide context.
The guidelines urge pediatricians to encourage parents to talk with their kids about online use and to be aware of Facebook depression, cyberbullying, sexting and other online risks. They were published online Monday in Pediatrics.

Turk - We Are Witnessing Extraordinary Events In Gold & Silver
With hedge fund shorts in gold and silver continuing to battle the physical market in London, today James Turk told King World News that the hedge funds will be overrun as the physical market takes down the massively overexposed paper shorts. Turk also spoke about the wild trading which has centered around the London fix.

Turk: "We are seeing some extraordinary events in the gold market, Eric. One of these was yesterday's London PM fix, which people are still talking about. Gold was trading quietly around $1385 just before the fix. Then, as the fix commenced, gold rose within roughly 15 minutes to $1414.
It was a real rocket-shot and caught the shorts by surprise. But the shorts regrouped, in order to regain control, and gold then dropped lower in the next 30 minutes. After the fix ended, gold had fallen to below $1370. We have to consider the significance of this extraordinary event....

"The London PM fix, which takes place every business day at 3 PM London time, is one of the most important daily events in gold. It occurs when both the London and North American markets are open, so it has deep liquidity.
The London fix is widely misunderstood because of its name, but if you view it in a nautical sense, to 'fix' on a distant point, the term makes sense. What the fix aims to do is discover the price at which buyers and sellers of physical 'London Good Delivery' bars are in balance. The dealers keep offering bars for sale or bidding on bars for purchase until there is a balance between them in order to clear the market, which is why yesterday's fix was so significant, Eric.
Normally the institutions and other big players in the market can get 400-ounce gold bars delivered to them within 2 days after payment, typically called T+2. These two days enable the seller of gold to make sure he has received good funds because he is converting hard money - physical gold - into soft money, namely, the national currency the seller accepts in payment. The currency is usually dollars, but sometimes pounds are used. Soft currencies may be repudiated because banks can reverse wire transfers, which explains the caution the seller requires before releasing the bars.
In the days leading up to the fix, some of the larger orders to buy bars have been moving out to as long as T+5, which is extraordinary. These orders, typically 3-to-5 tons in size, are normally handled with no problem. So to see this lengthy delay in delivery - which is very rare - shows how tight the physical market for gold really is.
Different markets reflect the tightness in physical metal in different ways. For example, India and Shanghai reflect the tightness with huge premiums. Futures contracts reflect the tightness by moving into backwardation, but the true extent of the current backwardation between May and June is being distorted by manipulating interest rates.
But in London, the tightness cannot be distorted or hidden. We can see the tightness by the shorts delaying delivery, which is happening right now. So it is clear that the buyer or buyers who pushed the gold price up during the London PM fix yesterday were obviously desperate to get their hands on physical metal and were prepared to pay whatever price it took to obtain it.
The huge premiums over spot in Asia and the long delivery times in London clearly show that this takedown in gold over the past few weeks was all about what was taking place in the paper market. The same is true for silver, which looks like it had a selling climax on Monday, given the huge upside reversal in its price that day along with gold. Gold's reversal wasn't as spectacular as silver, but nevertheless it was a solid performance.
There is an old saying that market prices can appear irrational longer than one can stay solvent. It is one reason I do not recommend trading markets or using leverage, but instead focus on accumulating undervalued assets that are paid for in full. For the past few weeks, and even now, the precious metals are being given away at bargain basement prices because traders of paper metal have forced the gold price lower by their relentless selling of gold's various derivative instruments.
The hedge funds in particular have been piling on and now have a record short position. Maybe they foolishly believe that gold's 5,000-year history as money ends here. The only thing about to end is the hedge fund short positions as the gold and silver prices look ready to blast off from current levels. KWN readers should expect a major upside move that will panic these hedge funds out of their short positions. In other words, the physical market is about to take down the paper traders who are massively overexposed on the short side."

Perhaps it is too late to avoid a "long" losing streak seeing as the Magic's current nine-game skid is the longest for the franchise since 2004, but this team wants to avoid falling further behind.
We can go through the stats again, but it probably is not really necessary. Except for one or two games in this streak, Orlando has been in every game and has been unable to finish. The Magic, in other words, could just as easily have won six or seven of the last nine as they could have lost these past nine games.
Perhaps that is too optimistic of an outlook.
Perhaps it is too optimistic to send the reminder out that, despite the nine-game skid, the Magic are five games back of the Celtics for the eighth and final Playoff spot in the East. The Celtics are sitting at .500 at 17-17 and so the record needed to get into the Playoffs will probably be a few games under .500. The Magic, sitting at 12-22 have some work to do to get there.
But first comes winning that one game. Because you cannot win two before you win one.
And you can sense that this team is hungry to break through and end this losing streak. A win, any win, would likely do it and get this team confident and back on the right track. That will not be done without an improvement on defense without Glen Davis in there. Unfortunately, nine games is enough time to see this team is not good defensively without him.
So perhaps this will serve as motivation.
If the Magic lost tonight, losing their 10th straight game, they will record just the fifth 10-game losing streak in team history. They will also become the fourth team in franchise history to have one 10-game losing streak (the 2003-04 team had two, the record-setting 19-game skid and a 13-game skid in April of that year with Tracy McGrady out).
I think everyone can admit that this is a club that does not deserve to be in that company with the way they have played. But you are what your record says you are.
Right now, the Magic's record says they are not a very good team despite the effor and work they have shown on the floor these past few weeks.
Tipoff in Denver is at 9 p.m.

2009 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Carla Wollens, Robert L. Chatburn, Jorge Guzman; Respiratory Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OHWe previously reported results of a set of ventilator weaning criteria as baseline data for determining readiness for weaning (wean screen WS), successful spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) or readiness for extubation (extubation screen ES); Respir Care 2008;53(11):1576. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of reducing the number of WS and SBT criteria. METHODS: The ventilator management protocol, as previously reported, had 4 phases of ventilatory support: (1) initial stabilization on full support; (2) daily assessment until WS met; (3) weaning by daily 60 minute SBT alternated with full support; (4) extubation. Wean and SBT criteria are shown in the Table. The strikethrough text indicates the criteria that were deleted in a subsequent group of patients. Extubation screen criteria were not changed. The subsequent group included all patients requiring mechanical ventilation between 12/27/08 and 4/14/09. Patients transferred out of the MICU before extubation were excluded. Outcome data were compared with t-test and Chi Square test; P < 0.05 considered significant. RESULTS: Data from 37 patients were evaluated. The duration of ventilation showed an insignificant drop from the baseline period 4.7 vs 6.4 days; P = 0.248. However, the percentages of patients who failed the first WS dropped significantly from 70% to 50% (P = 0.006). There was no difference in the percentage of patients who failed the first SBT (P = 0.161) or in the percentage of patients needing reintubation within 24 hours (2% vs 8%; P = 0.105). CONCLUSION: A reduced criteria set for WS was associated with a drop in the number of first time WS failures without an increase in SBT failure or reintubation rate. We speculate that the reduced failure of WS would show a reduction in the duration of ventilation if the sample size was larger. We also speculate that labor time was reduced using the reduced criteria set. Sponsored Research - None

The pilot reported that he had made his last agricultural spray run. The airplane was about 200 feet above ground level when one of the engine's cylinders cracked resulting in oil covering the windshield. The pilot flew to a satellite airstrip about 5 miles away. The pilot reported that the airstrip was short and his visibility was reduced due to the oil-covered windshield. The airplane overran the runway and nosed over when it collided with a ditch. A postaccident inspection of the airplane revealed that the number two cylinder of the engine had a crack located near the front spark plug and stretching to the rear spark plug. The Federal Aviation Administration had previously issued an Airworthiness Directive (AD) addressing the accident engine model. The AD required initial and repetitive visual and florescent penetration inspections of cylinders for cracking. This document was prompted by reports of cylinder head cracking which can result in the loss of engine power. The airplane's logbooks indicated that 18 hours of time in service had elapsed since the last visual inspection of the cylinder per the AD requirements.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
