Aegion Corporation (Nasdaq Global Select Market: AEGN) hosts its inaugural investor day event today in New York City with a comprehensive review of our technologies and services to execute a sustainable growth strategy centered on improving margins, earnings growth and improving return on invested capital.
J. Joseph Burgess, President and CEO, will detail Aegion's growth strategy, the foundation of which utilizes our strong core competencies in wastewater pipe rehabilitation to form a diversified platform of technologies across energy and mining pipeline protection as well as commercial structures and water and wastewater pipeline rehabilitation. These platforms form a new foundation for the path forward to achieve our stated objective of 15 percent return on invested capital.
"2012 marks the beginning of Aegion as a diversified, growth and return-oriented company focused on the key areas of strong demand in markets within the energy, mining, and commercial infrastructure protection and rehabilitation industries," Burgess said.
Our operating executives will detail to investors the advantages these technologies bring to the sizeable, global, and addressable markets for pipeline protection and rehabilitation in energy and mining applications and commercial rehabilitation of structures through a patented fiber-reinforced polymer technology, Fibrwrap ®.The investor day event will outline three key strategic imperatives to achieve our growth objectives in 2012 and beyond:
- Demonstrate consistency through strong execution in the North American Water and Wastewater business and international markets to maximize the conversion of earnings to cash.
- Expand the comprehensive suite of technologies in the Energy and Mining platform to targeted markets outside North America with sustainable capital expenditures and observable risk factors.
- Increase investment in the Commercial and Structural platform to accelerate the conversion from traditional rehabilitation methods to Fibrwrap ® and to open new markets through geographic expansion. Robust investment in innovation extends the patent life of existing technologies with the potential for new markets through new products.

Descriptions not showing up for network drives
I have a number of network drives mapped on my Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) systems. The drives show up and work fine, but are missing the descriptive names in "My Computer". This is happening on all of my Windows 7 systems.

The network shares are on a number of servers, all of which are running SAMBA 3.5.6. The description is set in the SAMA configuration in the usual manner:

Angry Birds Rio out now on iPhone, iPad, Mac
The movie tie-in game for Angry Birds, called Angry Birds Rio, is now available on the iOS App Store for 99 cents on iPhone and $2.99 on the iPad; it's $4.99 on the Mac App Store. The game features 60 new levels of the popular bird-throwing game and stars two characters from the upcoming movie Rio. It features full Game Center integration with all new achievements and boasts "a spectacular boss fight" of some kind. In short, if you like Angry Birds, you'll enjoy this one as well.
The game unfortunately does contain those ads that had some feathers ruffled in the original version, but the ratings on iTunes haven't suffered very much. And the description on the iOS store does promise updates "throughout 2011," so there's more content to come.
In case you don't want to spend the buck just yet, there are also free versions for both platforms that have six levels to check out. But it's Angry Birds -- while it looks from the screenshot like you're busting birds out of cages rather than attacking pigs, the catapult physics gameplay is still the main focus.

How to Fix U.S. Patents
Re:Correction (471 comments)
Those ideas would stay secret for who knows how long without the patent system. Are you sure you, as an academic, really want that?
You've never read a patent, have you? In most (almost all?) cases, they are worded in an obscure and roundabout way so that they no longer describe anything usable directly.
Patents are worded vaguely to try to include as many different things as possible (so as to be able to attack the competition) and to prevent anyone from being able to build anything out of them once they do run out.
Patents no longer disclose anything. Doing away with them would cause zero loss of knowledge.
For that matter, look at &@#^# copyrights. The point of copyright is to grant a limited monopoly on certain activities in exchange for insuring the work enters the public domain later. Nowadays, copyright keeps being extended over and over so that
Businesses will twist and abuse ANY system that grants limited monopolies into weapons to crush competition, regardless of the original goal. Remember, they can hire packs of lawyers.
Only workable solution? Do away with laws that grant monopolies entierly, however limited.

Navidea Biopharmaceuticals Announces Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $2.9 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. During the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011, the Company incurred increased marketing and business development costs related to commercial launch preparations for Lymphoseek and to ongoing activities in support of advancing the Company's precision diagnostics pipeline. These costs, as well as increased SG&A headcount and other support costs incurred during the third quarter of 2012, were offset by a decrease from the third quarter of 2011 of approximately $817,000 in non-recurring charges related to the separation of the Company's former President and CEO.
SG&A expenses were $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2011. The factors leading to the net increase in SG&A expenses between the two year-to-date periods were the same as described above for the three-month periods except that the offset due to the non-recurring charges related to the separation of the Company's former President and CEO totaled approximately $2.7 million for the first nine months of 2011.
As of September 30, 2012, Navidea had cash totaling approximately $11.2 million.
Brent Larson, Navidea Senior Vice President and CFO, said, "Navidea continues to maintain a strong financial position to support our pipeline development activities in advance of revenue from our first radiopharmaceutical product, Lymphoseek. We retain flexibility in timing of our expenditures and in our access to multiple available funding sources, including borrowing under the line of credit we have in place from our primary investor, Platinum-Montaur Life Sciences, LLC. We plan to work closely with Montaur to determine the optimal timing for accessing the credit facility to maintain financial strength, support the ongoing advances in our pipeline programs and fund commercial preparations for Lymphoseek. We remain focused on the prudent management of our finances as we drive toward Lymphoseek launch and revenue generation."

Parents of boy with rare disease pin hopes on unapproved drug: FDA took medication off fast track approval in November without explanation
Wednesday, February 26, 2014
NEWFIELDS — Just as many of his classmates do, 11-year-old Lucas Currier likes playing sports.
An accelerated New Drug Application was granted for etiplersen last year, putting the drug on a fast track for approval. That expedited approval process was halted by the FDA last November without explanation.
"There's no treatment or cure for DMD and with this drug it's right there," Linda said, "but it's just out of our reach and we're looking for help to push it forward."
The Currier family, along with many others affected by the disease, is fighting for approval of etiplersen.
"We at the FDA recognize how devastating Duchenne muscular dystrophy is to patients and their families, as evidenced by the hundreds of letters submitted to the agency," said Sandy Walsh of the FDA in a statement to Foster's on Monday.
"The FDA is committed to the needs of patients with serious and rare diseases and the agency will work closely with companies to ensure that safe and effective therapies used to treat these diseases are approved as quickly as possible. We will use every tool available to us to speed access to promising new therapies," she wrote.
"These children and their families need options for treatment now. I have joined my colleagues to petition the FDA for an expedited approval process for treatments for rare diseases, and in particular for Duchenne muscular dystrophy," said Shea-Porter in a statement to Foster's Tuesday. "Time is of the essence for these families, and I urge the FDA to act quickly."
The Curriers hope that by sharing their story, others will get involved, reaching out to local and state officials, as well as the FDA.
Every day the drug is not approved, children fighting DMD face more consequences as the disease slowly takes over the body, even affecting organs such as he heart. Degeneration can be halted with etiplersen's approval from the FDA.
Linda said her son has seen the most decline over the last year, and a more rapid decline is expected in the coming years.
"Last year we could walk down the driveway to get the mail," she said. "This year we can't."
"She helps with whatever I need," he said.
"This is their cause now and they don't even live with it," she said.

It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that child-care programs should achieve recommended benchmarks for meeting children's nutrition needs in a safe, sanitary, and supportive environment that promotes optimal growth and development. Use of child care has become increasingly common and is now the norm for the majority of families in the United States. Therefore, it is essential that registered dietitians; dietetic technicians, registered; and other food and nutrition practitioners work in partnership with child-care providers and families of children in child care to meet children's nutrition needs and provide them with models of healthful eating and active lifestyles. This Position Paper provides guidance for food and nutrition practitioners, health professionals, and child-care providers regarding recommendations for nutritional quality of foods and beverages served; menus, meal patterns, and portion sizes; food preparation and service; physical and social environment; nutrition training; nutrition consultation; physical activity and active play; and working with families. This Position Paper targets children aged 2 to 5 years attending child-care programs and highlights opportunities for food and nutrition practitioners to promote healthful eating in child care through both intervention and policy-based initiatives.

China Biologic Updates The Hong Kong Litigation In Respect Of The Shares Held By Ms. Siu Ling Chan
BEIJING, June 3, 2013 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Biologic Products, Inc. (Nasdaq: CBPO, "China Biologic" or the "Company"), a leading fully integrated plasma-based biopharmaceutical company in China, today announced that the Company received a notice (the "Notice") this morning from a Hong Kong solicitors firm representing the plaintiffs (the "Plaintiffs") in the pending litigation of title dispute (the "Litigation") involving certain shares of the common stock of China Biologic Products, Inc. (the "Company") held by Ms. Siu Ling Chan ("Ms. Chan"), one of the individual shareholders of the Company.
According to the Notice, the Plaintiffs obtained an injunction order (the "Injunction Order") from the High Court of Hong Kong (the "Court") on last Friday, May 31, 2013. The Injunction Order prohibits Ms. Chan from disposing of, charging, encumbering, pledging, transferring, diminishing the value of or otherwise dealing with the 5,362,624 shares of the Company's common stock or any part thereof held in the name of Ms. Chan. According to the Hong Kong solicitors firm representing the Plaintiffs, the Injunction Order will remain in force until further decision by the Court and the Court has set June 7, 2013 as the return date for further hearing. The Hong Kong solicitors firm also indicated that on last Friday, the date of the Injunction Order, a copy of the Injunction Order has been served on the lawyer representing the defendants to the Litigation and Shanghai RAAS Blood Products Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai RAAS"), a public company listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Shanghai RAAS has recently publicly announced its decision to purchase approximately half of the shares of the Company's common stock held by Ms. Chan (the "Shanghai RAAS Transaction").
Although the Company is not a party to the Litigation and has no comment on either the Litigation or the Injunction Order at this stage, given the Injunction Order's direct implications on the Shanghai RAAS Transaction, the Company hereby voluntarily discloses this factual development of the Litigation in the spirit of corporate governance transparency. For the Company's position on the Shanghai RAAS Transaction, please see the series of public announcements made by the Company last week.

By Joan C. Rogers
California lawyers who use social media to boast about career milestones must comply with rules governing lawyer advertising if the postings indicate the lawyer's availability for professional employment, according to a recent opinion from the California bar's ethics committee (California State Bar Standing Comm. on Professional Responsibility and Conduct, Formal Op. 2012-186).
The opinion concludes that the advertising rules do not come into play if a lawyer's social media post merely announces a victory or recent publication without suggesting that the lawyer is in the market for new clients. But when a message expresses the lawyer's willingness to be hired, the advertising rules apply even though complying with them may be awkward, the committee made clear.
The formal opinion was released about six months after the committee circulated a draft opinion of its conclusions. See 28 Law. Man. Prof. Conduct 382.
The opinion examines how California's rules on lawyer advertising apply to a lawyer's posts on her "personal profile page" on a social media website.
The lawyer regularly posts comments about her personal life and professional practice. Only individuals whom she has approved to view her posts--or "friended," in Facebook parlance--may view this content. But there are about 500 of these "friends," who are a mix of personal and professional acquaintances, including some people the lawyer does not even know.
The committee focused primarily on California Rule of Professional Conduct 1-400, "Advertising and Solicitation." The rule imposes certain requirements for lawyer advertisements and other "communications" by lawyers, and it is accompanied by a list of "Standards" describing categories of communications that presumptively violate the rule.
Although Rule 1-400 does not expressly mention electronic communications, the committee said it had little doubt that the rule extends to lawyers' Facebook or Twitter postings when they meet the definition of a communication covered by the rule.
The rule defines a "communication" as "any message or offer made by or on behalf of a member concerning the availability for professional employment of a member or a law firm directed to any former, present, or prospective client…."
In light of this definition, the committee concluded that an attorney's posts about her practice on a social media website must comply with Rule 1-400 if their content concerns her availability for professional employment.
The committee also noted that a lawyer's social media posts will be subject to Article 9.5 of the State Bar Act, which addresses legal advertising, when the postings qualify as a "communication" under Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §6157(c).
While saying that Section 6157 clearly applies to computer based-communications, the committee found it less clear whether a posting on Facebook or Twitter is "directed generally to members of the public and not to a specific person" so as to come within the statutory definition of a "communication." The opinion does not take a position on that issue because Rule 1-400 and Section 6157 impose essentially the same requirements, the committee explained.
Evaluating the particular posts at issue, the committee found that Rule 1-400 does not apply to this boast: "Case finally over. Unanimous verdict! Celebrating tonight." This statement is not a communication under the rule because it is not a message or offer about the lawyer's availability for employment, the panel found.
"Attorney status postings that simply announce recent victories without an accompanying offer about the availability for professional employment generally will not qualify as a communication," the opinion states.
The committee also concluded that Rule 1-400 does not apply to this post: "Just published an article on wage and hour breaks. Let me know if you would like a copy." This statement merely relays information about an article the lawyer has published along with an offer to provide copies, it explained.
On the other hand, the committee advised that Rule 1-400 applies to these three postings because they concern the lawyer's availability for employment:
• "Another great victory in court today! My client is delighted. Who wants to be next?" The phrase "Who wants to be next?" suggests that the lawyer is available to be hired, according to the committee.
• "Won a million dollar verdict. Tell your friends to check out my website." This message asks readers to tell others to look at her website so that they may consider hiring her, the panel found.
• "Won another personal injury case. Call me for a free consultation." This post indicates that the lawyer is available to be hired, because an offer of a free consultation is a step toward securing potential employment, the committee explained.
Having concluded that Rule 1-400 applies to several of the lawyer's social media posts, the committee offered guidance on complying with the rule.
The opinion points out that under Standard 5, communications covered by Rule 1-400 must bear the word "Advertisement," "Newsletter," or words to that effect, in 12-point type. Lawyers have to comply with this requirement even if it is burdensome and undercuts the conversational, impromptu nature of a social media status posting, the panel said.
"The restrictions imposed by the professional responsibility rules and standards governing attorney advertising are not relaxed merely because such compliance might be more difficult or awkward in a social media setting," the opinion states.
The opinion also notes that for any communication covered by Rule 1-400, the lawyer must retain a copy for two years. If the social media website does not archive postings automatically, the lawyer will need to preserve the postings by a method such as printing or saving a screenshot, the committee advised.
The committee identified particular problems with the post "Another great victory in court today! My client is delighted. Who wants to be next?" This post, it said, violates the prohibition against client testimonials in Rule 1-400(E) unless it includes a disclaimer, and also presumptively violates Rule 1-400 because it makes a guarantee by predicting that the next client will be victorious too.

This is not to say that the committee believes pain management services should be the sole responsibility of any one public health entity or of public health personnel. Instead, the committee acknowledges the understanding promulgated in The Future of the Public's Health in the 21st Century that a contemporary public health system calls for "the contributions of other sectors of society that have enormous power to influence health" (IOM, 2002a, p. 2). With respect to improving pain management, those sectors include
The variety of entities potentially involved in a broad-based effort to improve pain prevention and management across U.S. society offers promising opportunities for the kinds of public–private partnerships envisioned in the charge to this committee (see Chapter 1).
Recently released goals and objectives for Healthy People 2020—"the health agenda for the nation," issued by HHS—appear to anticipate a larger public health role in pain management. Under the Medical Product Safety topic is a new objective—"Increase the safe and effective treatment of pain"—although this objective does not explicitly frame a comprehensive or strategic approach to pain, and three of its four subparts remain under development (Box 2-1).

CLI to add new storage server in BE 2012
I can add new storage server in BE 2012 from UI doing following:
Click on backup and restore tab on main menu
Select add under Servers sub menu.
How to do the same from CLI? I didn't find any CLI in admin guide
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
refer the following to get help with BEMCLI
Hi santhoshikonam,
To mimic the GUI's "Add Server" functionality, the closest you can come today is the following:
1. Push install using "setup.exe" from your Backup Exec 2012 install media. If you run "setup.exe /?", it will show you all the command-line switches. /S makes the install run in silent mode, and you can push to remote servers.
2. BEMCLI has an "Establish-BETrust" cmdlet that can be used to make remote servers appear in the Get-BEAgentServer list (and in the GUI). This only works with servers running the Backup Exec Agent and is best used with Windows remote servers.

The biggest debate on Planet Orange this season hasn't been about the relative merits of the various back up point guard options available to the Phoenix Suns. The discussion this year, once the lockout ended, has been all about keeping Steve Nash versus trading him and the larger issue of how to rebuild this team to it's past glory.
Outside of U.S. Airways Center everyone has an opinion. National pundits and analysts. Local radio jocks. Even those damn "bloggers" with their "blogs" and internets.
It's the primary topic of conversation for every Suns fans -- blow it up and rebuild through the draft or stay the course and trust the front office to make wise decisions with trades, free agent signings and the draft. Needless to say, "trusting the front office" is not something that's going to come easily given the history of Robert Sarver's decisions from selling draft picks to overpaying the wrong guys in the summer of 2010.
Inside of U.S. Airways Center, there's been only silence from the normally visible Robert Sarver and his new media adverse team of Lon Babby and Lance Blanks. Until now.
Sarver and Babby decided to share their plans with respected columnist Paola Boivin of the Arizona Republic. Here's the meat of it:
Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver says plan in place to quickly get the team back on competitive level
Blowing up the team is not the direction the Suns want to go. They look at a franchise such as Chicago. The Bulls won six NBA titles -- 1991-93 and 1996-98 -- then posted losing records and missed the playoffs six consecutive seasons. The team didn't return to the conference finals for 13 years.
"Bottom line: There is no tried-and-true formula," Babby said.
Personally, I tend to agree with Babby and Sarver. I've not been a fan of blowing up the Suns, trading Steve Nash, and generally rolling the dice that comes with a rebuild through the draft strategy.
Many of you, however, are passionate advocates for that plan and are rooting for losses so I have a challenge for you to do the research yourself and present a counter to the Suns assertion that "research shows that (blow it up) process can take from eight to 10 years."
We know that it took Sonics/Thunder two seasons between the time they traded their remaining stars (Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis) in the summer of 2007 until they were back in the playoffs in 2009-10 with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden.
I would argue that nearly everything went right for that team, including Durant "falling" to the second pick and that the more normal course is the Sacramento Kings. They started to re-tool in 2005 when they traded Chris Webber but held off a full "blow it up" until 2008 when they dumped Ron Artest.
Sacramento had made the playoffs for eight-straight seasons before re-tooling for two seasons (06-08) when they were about a .400 win team and then for the last three years they've been horrible with no more than 25 wins in any one season. They are on the upswing now, but it's hard to argue they are very close to being a contender although they could be a playoff team again in a year or two...maybe.
Then again, the Kings stadium and ownership situation has been unique and that perhaps played a roll as well.
The bottom line, as I've said many times before, I'm no fan of "blowing it up" and don't believe that you can win by trying to lose.
I do, however, think that the Suns' assertion that it's an eight to 10 year process is a bit off but I would love to see someone do the leg work of going back through every team over the last 15 years and showing us the data. Any volunteers? Maybe it's a group project with a couple of people work on it at once? Let me know.
You can't blame the Phoenix Suns for the lack of creativity when deciding how to lose games. At first it was the lack of scoring. Then it was the dreaded second quarter. Then it was the lack of defense. Then it was the lack of rebounding. Tonight was an oldy but goody. The dreaded 4th quarter collapse, and the Suns execution of it was nearly flawless.
The Suns started the game hot, using a 14-0 run en route to a 31 point quarter off of 59% shooting. Steve Nash dished 5 assists in 8 minutes of play while Grant Hill scored 9 and Michael Redd came off the bench to score 5 in his first three minutes of action. The Hawks shot 39% off of 9-23 shooting.
In the second, the Suns left the right side wide open for the likes of Willie Green and Joe Johnson, who combined for 3 3-pointers and Josh Smith kicked in 6 to reduce the lead to 2. But Nash and Frye responded with 3's of their own, and the Suns held the lead 57-46 at the half.
Josh Smith and the Pachulia guy teamed for 19 points in the third quarter, as the Suns began to run out of gas, shooting 6-17, losing the quarter to the Hawks, 26-21.
AND THEN THERE was the 4th quarter. I'll save you all the time and energy of reading the blow by blow. here's a short summary:
Suns: 2 technicals (one on Nash?), didn't score a point in 4+ minutes, 5 turnovers.
Hawks: 12-0 run, lots of Josh Smith, defended, rebounded, played like they wanted to win the game.
I'm truly embarrassed by this performance. Especially at home. I don't care about 3 games in 3 nights. These are world class athletes getting paid great money. No excuse there. Age? No. Nash went for 22 and 16, Hill went for 18 and 6 and played insane defense on Joe Johnson nearly all night.
There's my rant. And after listening to Alvin Gentry, I feel, I don't know, irrational? Here he is, speaking calmly:
"I thought we played really good basketball for a stretch then struggled...We couldn't seem to get anything against their zone...Too many turnovers, that really hurt us. I thought we did good a job limiting the offensive rebounds. I think we played really well for stretches, but it's a 48 minute game...We tried to take their best player Joe Johnson out of the game, and we did a really good job of taking him out of the game. But they had other guys that stepped up."
He sounds tired and he looked tired. I am tired too.
Next up, 2 versus the Lakers.

Stress is one of the aspects that people have to deal with each day. However, a lot of people are not sure about what the physical effects of stress is on their body. Once people know about this, they will start to avoid the different amounts of stress as much as possible. Without this information people will end up having the stressful situations and just chalk the stress up to some other item that is going on in their life and continue to life with the physical effects of stress and anxiety, even when it is something that can be harming their health.
Physical Effects Of Stress On The Body
Learning about the stress physical effects what are the physical effects of stree is something that people need to know about. When they are able to know about these they will know if they are being stressed out or if it is a problem that they are able to deal with because of it being a medical condition.
– Headaches are a common problem that people under stress experience and they often chalk this up to allergies or some other cause. However, headaches is one of the main side effects when people are experiencing stress.
– Muscle tension is another common issue that people experience when they under stress. This tension often involves people holding tension in their muscles for a long period of time and not even realize it until they start to have pain. However, people will quickly realize that the pain is coming from the stress that they are dealing with.
– In some cases the stress can be so bad that they are going to have chest pain. The chest pain will be coming from a variety of stresses that people are experiencing, but also the pain will be something they are going to have to deal with.
– Sleep problems is another issue that people will have to deal with as one of the physical effects of stress. When people start to have sleep problems they are going to realize it is coming from the stress when they are waking up and end up thinking about the item that is stressing them out.
– Depending on what people have on stress they may even find their stomach is going to get very sick. The stomach illness is coming from the different types of stress that people are experiencing and how they are not able to cope with the stress and digest all of their food properly.
What Are The Physical And Psychological Effects Of Stress
Psychologically people will notice that the stress they are experiencing is going to affect them in quite a few different ways. However, most of the time people will shrug this off to a lot of different things and this can easily lead to them not getting to seek out the help they want to have for the stress they are experiencing. This means they will still have to cope with the stress by hiding the problems that are present in their life.
– Anxiety is one of the main factors that is going to reveal that people are suffering from stress. Typically people will be anxious because of certain situations that are going on, but also because of the stress that people are experiencing in life. So people need to make sure they take this into account when they are thinking about the stress in their life.
– Lack of focus or motivation to get projects done is something else that people need to realize as one of the psychological effects of stress. When people do not have any type of focus they are going to continue to have the stress in place, but also not finish the project they are working on.
– Irritability is something else that is a sign of psychological stress in people. When people are stressed out, they tend to be focused on the projects at hand, if they can focus, and will end up getting irritated when people interrupt them while they are working on the project they are trying to finish.
– Depression is something else that people will find as stress increases on their body. When people start to slip into depression they are going to find that they are not going to want to do anything and this is because of the situations that they are involved in is starting to cause them some problems that is making them not feel like themselves.
– Sometimes people will find that angry outburst is another problem that people will have at times. Typically people never think about this as the physical effects of stress, but one of the main issues that people will experience is they are going to get angry at times. This anger often is going to lead to them having outburst like they never thought about before. So people are going to want to watch for these outburst since they are going to be a sign of stress.
– Overeating is another issue that people will find when they are stressed out. People often tend to look for a vice when they are trying to get rid of stress in their life. The vice that a lot of people tend to turn to is eating quite a bit of food. When people turn to this they are going to put on a lot of weight or even worse start to affect their health because of the foods they are eating.
Having to cope with the physical effects of stress is a lot harder than what people think. This is when people should know more about the signs of this stress to help them in dealing with the problems they have had. Without this information, people could have problems in getting to enjoy their life because they are constantly stressed out about one situation or another that is having a negative impact on them.

Amanda Seyfried: 'Big Love' For 'Mamma Mia!'
Extremely earnest Big Love actress Amanda Seyfried sat down with Chuck the Movie Guy on YouTube to talk about her role as "Sophie" in the film adaption of Mamma Mia! coming out Friday, July 18.
Seyfriend, who stars alongside Meryl Streep, loves this movie. A lot. She and Chuck stop just short of licking the movie poster together out of devotion.
"Singing is a way of releasing an emotion that you sometimes can't portray when you're acting," Seyfried says.
Mamma Mia! is the story of a mother and daughter on a beautiful island in Greece. The girl is trying to discover which of three men is her father.
And it's set to the music of ABBA.
Seyfriend actually bows her head when mentioning Meryl Streep's name, confirming that thte Sophie's Choice award winner is, indeed, a deity among actors.

Tuesday, November 15, 2011
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
MILWAUKEE -- Ed Wade is focused on conducting the offseason baseball operations of the Houston Astros, even if his future with the team is uncertain.
With the proposed sale of the team from Drayton McLane to Jim Crane expected to be approved Thursday by major league owners, Wade is not fretting. He's working.
"We're business as usual," he said. "The proposed change or whatever which way you would say it, it's been there," he said Tuesday as general managers opened meetings at a downtown Milwaukee hotel.
"We've run through the draft, we've run through the trading deadline. We've run through the labor period and now we're at the general managers meeting and it still hasn't been finalized," Wade said.
Wade was the GM in Philadelphia before taking the job Houston and knows that the game's shifts are numerous. In fact, the Astros will likely end up in the AL after the sale is approved.
"I've been around," Wade said. "It's probably more difficult for people who are new to the organization. I think realistically if you've been in this game for a long time you recognize that uncertainty is a fairly standard circumstance."
Another GM is seeing some clarity following a tumultuous period -- Ned Colletti of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and Major League Baseball have agreed to a court-supervised sale of the once glamorous and now bankrupt franchise.
While the sides hope for a quick deal, giving McCourt the money to pay his divorce settlement by April, MLB sales sometimes drag on for six months to 1 years. Once bidders are identified, the court is likely to conduct an auction.
"We have some resolution, but we don't have complete resolution," Colletti said, adding that there is some relief that the episode is on its way -- apparently -- to being resolved.
"It takes you out of a situation that you don't know which way is going to go -- not that we know how this is going to go, either. But it's at least one step," he said.
Colletti said the Dodgers were still working on details for Matt Kemp's eight-year, $160 million contract and that it could be completed before Thanksgiving.
Scott Boras, the agent for Prince Fielder, met with Brewers GM Doug Melvin on Tuesday. Fielder and Albert Pujols are the marquee free agents this offseason.
"We'll see how the markets play out. Our goal is to try to keep Albert Pujols," said Cardinals GM John Mozeliak, who's already hired Mike Matheny as manager to replace Tony La Russa, who resigned after winning the World Series.
Mozeliak said it's impossible to remove emotions from a negotiation to retain Pujols, the Cardinals' star for the last decade.
"From a strategic standpoint, I don't think we need to divorce ourselves from that or to simply ignore that. The facts are, he's an iconic player. He's been the face of this organization for a long time," Mozeliak said.
"To deny that or to fail to recognize that, I don't think you're looking through the proper set of lenses."
New Red Sox GM Ben Cherington said he and new Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein talked again Tuesday about compensation for Epstein's departure from Boston with a year left on his contract.
Cherington said one of the problems in reaching a solution is that both he and Epstein are conducting a managerial search -- they've interviewed several of the same candidates, including Dale Sveum, who is supposed to meet with both teams for a second time in Milwaukee -- and they've been busy with transitions to new jobs.
"And there is no secret there is a bit of a disagreement on what the level of compensation should be," Cherington said. "Theo and I talked today. The more we talk, the more progress we make. I'm still optimistic and hoping that we can find a resolution."
Joe Torre, MLB's executive vice president for baseball operations, gave a briefing of the first day of meetings.
"A couple of clubs brought up situations, we talked about some replay possibilities, ground rule possibilities, stuff like that," he said.
"We talked about some international issues, amateur workouts and tryouts and things like that."
Torre said expanding replay -- currently it determines whether home runs clear the fence and are foul or fair -- would take some work.
"I think the commissioner hinted at a possible fair-or-foul change. Again, once you make that statement, you start thinking about things that go along with it. If you call a ball foul and the replay shows it's fair, then where do you put the runners?" Torre said.
"It's not that easy to just say 'let's replay this' or 'let's replay that' when certain things come up."

Texas Teacher beats up kid--Thoughts?
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 05-21-2010 - 5:30pm
Not sure if you all have seen that story, and if you have, I haven't seen any posts or threads on it. Before I give my feelings on the topic, I'd love to know what you think.
Basically, the child was a very violent extreme special ed student who had been in a world of trouble and frankly had beaten up other kids and attacked other adults and when he came after that teacher, she snapped and beat his arse.
Now I know there are going to be a ton of folks who think ,
|Fri, 05-21-2010 - 9:55pm
At some point I think teachers who are not receiving support from their admin on serious safety issues need to call the police. Truly, call 911 and have them come to the building and to the classroom b/c that is the ONLY way some of these kids will get the attention they truly need and admin will see that teachers are serious when they say they have concerns.
I also think this needs to be investigated closely. There could be more to this situation then a teacher beating a student. When i work in our h.s. spec ed room I am struck by how much most of those student outweigh me - usually by at least 100 lbs each. Guess I'd need more information. I do think ultimately the teacher should have called 911 before beating up a student.
|Fri, 05-21-2010 - 11:09pm
I think I read or heard that she was a former teacher of the year or outstanding educator of some type.
|Sat, 05-22-2010 - 10:25am
Okay, now that a couple of thoughts have been spoken, I'll give mine. The way the story goes, this child was extremely

I almost hate to say it, but I'm not sure we will ever again be in a place where the teacher is respected and supported, the needs of the children are clearly addressed and the parents are both supported in their efforts to get help and

Judy, damn special ed. Some of these kids are in a regular ed classroom. I've had too many talking about what they are going to do to me and I'm on a new job and already had one push past me. I told her in no uncertain term don't put your hands or body on me any more. If I can't touch you, don't touch me.
Our society has become so violent of course our children are like this, but what tickles me is how teachers are just expected to take it. On every other job I know if someone even mentions that they are going to harm you, they can be brought up on charges and yet in a school environment your life can be threatened, harmed and damn near taken away because "the poor kids are hurting" Yep they sure are but they better keep their funky hands off me cause I wont be hurt by anyone, child or adult. (Unless there is a weapon involved and in that case you better just take me out cause if you dont, you'll wish you had)
