I always find it amusing when my students are surprised to discover that I know the name of the singer or group of their current favorite songs. Older people aren't supposed to even know that modern music exists.
Of course, they're not always all that far off the mark about what my generation does or does not know. Sure, most people know who Lady Gag Gag is (hard to miss her in her jewel studded underwear at baseball games), but it's probably safe to say that most people over 50 wouldn't recognize names like Avenged Sevenfold, Maroon 5, Drake, Linkin Park, Radiohead, Lil Wayne, Pitbull, Coldplay, Black Eyed Peas, or Foster the People.
Actually, there's a lot of good music out there, but you don't generally hear it on the radio. As teenagers plug themselves into their iPods and bob their heads to solid walls of sound (all bow to "Benny and the Jets!)", many of their songs are not mainstream. Despite what Billboard or MTV award ceremonies would lead you to believe, some groups out there do know how to make music.

When it was announced that Jamie Foxx would play Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, we all immediately knew that he would look ridiculous. But we didn't count on this. This is a version of ridiculous that didn't even enter our framed realms of possibility.
Set photos have revealed a first look at Foxx that point to the Ultimate Spider-Man version of Electro for inspiration. Or Mr. Freeze's nutsack. Both are accurate estimations. Not pictured in these photos are Electro's awesome costume that Foxx has mentioned in past interviews. Instead, we see Foxx dressed in a hoodie and overcoat stumbling through the streets of Manhattan — a look often referred to as "the Cuba Gooding, Jr." (The Superficial)

Novel Determinants and Measures of Smokeless Tobacco Use: Study 1
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The extent of toxicity varies considerably across different brands of smokeless tobacco (ST) products and data suggest that greater toxicity may result in greater health risks. However, little is known about the actual extent of exposure to toxicants from current smokeless tobacco products and factors that might moderate the extent of this exposure. The goals of this project are to address the following questions:
- What are the characteristics of the range of smokeless tobacco products in current use and how do these products impact user behavior;
- What are novel and the best measures of smokeless tobacco use, behavior and exposure; and
- What are some of the determinants of smokeless tobacco use.

Detailed Description:
Study 1 is a multi-site descriptive study assessing tobacco toxicants in various smokeless tobacco products and tobacco toxicant exposure found in 600 subjects in three sites: University of MN Twin Cities, Oregon Research Institute in Eugene OR, and at West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV (200 subjects per site). The study will examine the relationship between brands of U.S. smokeless tobacco products that contain different levels of tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs), other carcinogens and nicotine, and biomarkers of exposure and effects on health (e.g., cardiovascular risk factors). Additionally, the study will examine factors that influence the extent of toxicant exposure and effect besides the levels of toxicants in the product. Subjects will attend an orientation where they will sign a consent form and then return for one clinic visit where they will provide blood (UMN only), urine samples, buccal samples and expectorated chews to be examined for nicotine levels, toxicant exposure and potential for tobacco-related health risks. A subsample of subjects (10 per brand of smokeless tobacco) will be asked for a tin of their unused product for testing (they will be reimbursed for the cost of their tin) and will be asked for three samples of expectorated chews that will be collected, frozen and shipped to the CDC where they will be analyzed for tobacco constituents. Subjects will complete several questionnaires on their tobacco use history, alcohol, diet, physical and mental health. Subjects will also keep a daily diary of their tobacco and alcohol use.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:

VIDEO: Trevor Noah on Ben Carson's Genius Plans to Deal With Mass Shootings

Rep. Curt Weldon is emblematic of the cancer eating away at Washington.
America's invasion of Iraq has made predictable impressions on Iran and North Korea: Only military power, underscored by the actual possession of nuclear weapons, can guarantee survival against a superpower bent on regime change.
More disturbing than the GOP's attempts to shift blame in the Foley scandal is the emerging narrative of dereliction and coverup.
When Condoleezza Rice claimed that Bush & Co. did just as much in the run-up to 9/11 as Clinton & Co. did in the preceding eight years, it had to rank as one of the most baldfaced lies ever uttered by a Bush administration official.
"Clearly, Bush cannot comprehend the damage he is doing to American dignity, credibility and prestige…. His public negotiations with the dissident senators over torture techniques have created one of the worst spectacles in modern political history."
Check out this can't-miss two-part interview between Bill Maher and Joe Scarborough. Maher ends the first segment with a uppercut knockout punch straight to Bush's jaw; in the second part, Bill says "the jury's in" on the "idiot" question.
Bush's 9/11 memorial address sought to justify the war in Iraq by stoking fear, while at the same time hypocritically urging national unity.
The revelation that Richard Armitage first disclosed Valerie Wilson's identity as a covert CIA operative doesn't change the fact that it was Karl Rove and Scooter Libby who used that information in an attempt to punish Ms. Wilson for her husband's criticism of the Bush administration.
From scoop.co.nz
The first person to tell reporters that Valerie Plame worked for the CIA was not, apparently, someone in Dick Cheney's circle out to smear Plame as a way of getting back at her husband, who had criticized the administration. Rather, it was then-Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, who didn't have an ax to grind, who didn't know Plame was an undercover operative, and who was apparently just passing on gossip, according to a new book.
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough asks whether Bill O'Reilly has a point when he argues that Jon Stewart isn't really running a "fake news" show. (Great clips included)
Democrats must transcend all their intraparty squabbles over the war in Iraq and focus on the obligation of politicians to be honest with the public.
Stephen Colbert wonders if Bush is refusing to endorse Ned Lamont?s Republican opponent in the Conn. Senate race because the president is so toxic these days. But Colbert also has another theory…
The U.S. soldier who exposed the atrocities at the notorious Iraq prison camp is speaking out for the first time about his experiences. His claims are unexpected: "Nobody in command knew about the abuse, because nobody in command cared enough to find out."
Crooks and Liars
Joe Scarborough, of all people, began his program on Tuesday by asking: ?Is Bush an ?idiot?? ? To provide context for his question, the MSNBC host let loose with a must-see highlight reel of the president?s assault on language and logic.
From ABC News
The hard-charging senator from Wisconsin swatted down Sen. Joe Lieberman's claim that pulling out of Iraq would only embolden future would-be plane-bombing terrorists: ?Joe is showing with that regrettable statement that he doesn?t get it. He doesn?t get it."
If more than half of the public supports withdrawal from Iraq, and nearly two-thirds disapproves of the president and his policy, isn't that the "mainstream" position?
Sen. Joe Lieberman seized upon news of the foiled British plane bombers to say that a victory for his Democratic rival, Ned Lamont, in November would constitute a victory for the terrorists.
You know, when John at AMERICAblog asked who was going to be the first one to exploit this situation for political gain, he thought it would at least be a Republican….
From Crooks and Liars
The Nation on Lamont's "Digital Constituency"
With only five days to go before their Aug. 8 Democratic primary, the political novice has opened up a commanding lead on the three-term senator from Connecticut. (Even with the 3% margin of error, Lamont is dusting his opponent.) h/t: Huff Po
From the AP: The CIA officer whose identity was leaked to reporters sued Vice President Dick Cheney, his former top aide and presidential advisor Karl Rove on Thursday, accusing them and other White House officials of conspiring to destroy her career.
From manifoldreality.org
Well, we knew this was coming, but now it's official: Sen. Joe Lieberman has created a new political party that he will use to appear on the November ballot if he loses the Democratic primary in August.
As such a move would amount to sticking his thumb in the eye of Conn. voters, the name of his new political party is deliciously ironic: Connecticut for Lieberman.
Maybe he should have picked something more representative of his backing: Lieberman for Lieberman.
Cute moment in Thursday's debate in Connecticut's Dem. Senate primary race: Sen. Lieberman tried to interrupt challenger Ned Lamont and Lamont silenced him by saying "...this isn't Fox News, sir."
From spazeboy.net
Conn. businessman Ned Lamont, who in the polls is closing in fast on Joe Lieberman, forced the three-term senator in a debate Thursday night to defend his strong support for President Bush over the Iraq war, in addition to charging that Lieberman has made his bed in Congress with lobbyists and special interest groups.
A few elbows were thrown.
AP / J. Scott Applewhite
The president told federal investigators that he ordered Vice President Cheney to personally lead an effort to counter the allegations made by former Ambassador Joe Wilson that the White House had misrepresented intelligence to make the case to go to war with Iraq, according to people familiar with Bush's statement, as quoted by Murray Waas of the National Journal.
Bush's supporters will say anything to build support for the massively ill-conceived and unpopular Iraq war —anything, that is, except speaking honestly, because the truth cannot accommodate their crude partisan rhetoric.
From Newsweek
Newsweek says that pro-war Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) "stands a good chance of losing his August primary thanks to heavy blogger backing of his opponent, Ned Lamont."
As the Fourth of July approaches, show your support for our hard-won freedoms: Urge your senator not to make a mockery of them by voting for the flag burning ban.
"With the predictable regularity of a locust plague, Ann Coulter and her enablers at the once-reputable firm of Random House have issued yet another volume of fascistic entertainment. Now the hard-drinking, trash-talking, fortysomething bachelorette bills herself as a Christian moralist, in holy battle against the liberal heathens."
Department of Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff may have again revealed his incompetence by slashing New York's anti-terror funding, but the problems plaguing that agency reach far deeper than one man.
Democratic strategist Joe Trippi writes that the rise of the Netroots-based organization Unite08 may be the harbinger of the end of the traditional two-party system in American politics.
"Of all possible explanations for the mainstream media's preoccupation with the Clinton marriage, the most innocuous is nostalgia for a better time, when we were able to worry less about war, corruption, catastrophe and incompetence, and more about sex."
A key Democratic Party opinion-maker says this about Ned Lamont, who is challenging Joe Lieberman for a Conn. Senate seat: "He's intelligent. He's accomplished. There are no personal warts. He teaches in the Bridgeport public schools. How many people of his pedigree and background go do that?"
Earlier: See Lamont's Truthdig interview.
"Like many prophets, Gore has often been derided as an annoyance, an extremist and possibly a madman. Every great American mind of our time felt compelled to take a shot at him."
The N.Y. Times columnist writes that the Connecticut senator is in trouble, as evidenced by neophyte challenger Ned Lamont's strong showing at the state Democratic Party's nomination convention. Lieberman's problem: He consistently parrots GOP talking points and has fallen out of touch with Connecticut voters.
Ned Lamont's bid to capture Joe Lieberman's Connecticut Senate seat took a quantum leap this week when Lamont captured enough convention votes to force a primary against Lieberman. Jane at FDL has a great roundup of what the establishment is saying about Ned.
Ned Lamont, the neophyte antiwar Democrat who is challenging Sen. Joe Lieberman for his seat in Conn., easily garnered enough votes to force a primary with Lieberman—who is Bush's favorite Democrat.
This is a big deal. Lieberman is in trouble. If you want to learn more about Lamont, check out the Truthdig interview.
"Bush has proved so incompetent as president that he lacks credibility. Sending thousands of troops southward now in an effort to appear tough only underscores his failure."
From talkingpointsmemo.com
Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has disclosed handwritten notes by the vice president that ask whether former Ambassador Joe Wilson was sent to Niger on a "junket" by his wife. The notes appear on a copy of Wilson's N.Y. Times Op-Ed piece that kicked off the controversy. (via Huff Po)
Remember Valerie Plame Wilson? Well, she was apparently working on Iran when she was outed as a CIA agent by Robert Novak, and the outing allegedly damaged America's ability to track Iran's nuclear ambitions.
From nedlamont.com
The wealthy cable entrepreneur and darling of the progressive blogosphere discusses his antiwar primary challenge against Connecticut's pro-war Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman. "The state party brass, they don't like primaries. Competition is a little unsettling to them."

Crofton Weed
NOXIOUS WEED: Class 4
Ageratina adenophora
family: ASTERACEAE (daisy family)
- An erect, bushy, leafy, many-stemmed herbaceous perennial to 2m, from Central America. Forms dense stands, prefers moist, nutrient-rich soil, is common in disturbed areas. Also known as Eupatorium adenophorum, and Mexican Devil. Poisonous to horses.
- Leaves are opposite, soft, thin, shaped like a triangle or rhombus, with a toothed edge and conspicuous veins. They are dark green on the upper surface, lighter underneath, and may be slightly hairy; 4-12cm long, 3-9cm wide. Layers at leaf nodes.
- Flowers profusely in spring and summer, producing dense clusters of white sticky hairy flowers, 5-8mm in diameter, at the ends of the branchlets.
- Seed production is enormous - 10,000 to 100,000 per year when mature. The seeds are very small, light, brown to black, with a 4mm 'parachute' of white hairs, mid to late spring. Germination rates are high.
- Has a tap root, and a shallow but extensive fibrous root system.
- All parts of the plant have a strong aromatic smell when bruised, which may cause allergic reactions.
Seed is dispersed by wind and water over long distances, and is also moved by vehicles and machinery, and in clothing, soil and stockfeed. Also spread by garden dumping.
Impact on Bushland
A highly invasive plant, tolerant of a wide range of conditions, common on roadsides and bushland edges, along watercourses, creeks, and in wetlands. Capable of infesting intact bushland and displacing native plants; an increasing problem.
Throughout the Blue Mountains, including the Mounts, but more common from Bullaburra to Lapstone.
Alternative Planting
Native Plants
Correas (eg Correa reflexa)
Daisy Bushes (Olearia elliptica, Olearia myrsinoides)
Waxflower (Phylotheca myoporiodes, formerly Eriostemon)
Exotic alternatives
Mock Orange (Philodelphus species)
May Bush (Spiraea x vanhouttei)
Hand remove, taking all roots; bag flower and seed heads; do not leave stems on ground. Will reshoot if damaged. Large infestations can be sprayed in spring and summer. Get advice from Council or DIPNR if growing along watercourses - you may need a permit. Survives 'cool' burns, otherwise destroyed by fire. Be prepared for follow up treatment.
Crofton Weed is a Class 4 Noxious Weed.
Class 4 noxious weeds are plants that pose a threat to primary production, the environment or human health, are widely distributed in an area to which the order applies and are likely to spread in the area or to another area.
Control objective
Minimise the negative impact of those plants on the economy, community or environment of NSW.
Control action
The growth and spread of the plant must be controlled according to the measures specified in a management plan published by the local control authority, and the plant may not be sold, propagated or knowingly distributed.
— NSW Noxious Weeds Act of 1993
Leaves of Crofton Weed are soft and thin, and shaped like a triangle or a rhombus.

Ginger Coakley sensed God calling her into ministry, but she wasn't sure where to serve.
"I never really felt called to stand in front of people and preach on a weekly basis," said Coakley, 30, who grew up in a Free Methodist family in Oklahoma City.
Between her junior and senior years at Greenville (Ill.) College, the psychology major traveled with VISA Ministries to Manila, Philippines, where she came to a realization: "Everyone who sits in a pew has a ministry. Everybody who claims to be a part of the kingdom of God has a responsibility to love people and to spread the gospel."
Her calling was unmistakable.
"I just heard the Lord say, 'I've called you for ministry, and it's time to go get equipped.'"
She worked with at-risk young people for several years and then enrolled in Asbury Theological Seminary, from which she received a Master of Divinity in 2009.
Coakley is now a Gateway Conference ministerial candidate, but she still doesn't see herself becoming a church's senior pastor. Along with a new partner in life — high school teacher Lee Coakley, whom she married in June — she has a new role as Illinois representative of the anti-slavery organization Not For Sale.
"I finally can see what my ministry is: advocating for the captive and letting people know that as people of the kingdom we have a message to bring of freedom and a fight to see slavery abolished in our lifetime," she said. "I love the Free Methodist Church. Its heritage is rich, and we need to hearken back to our roots."
Just as early Free Methodists were known for their strong opposition to slavery, Coakley wants today's FM congregations to be on the forefront of the modern abolitionist movement, not only by rescuing captives but also by educating communities about the existence of slavery. Anti-trafficking efforts range from combating local prostitution to encouraging grocery stores to stock slave-free products.
"You've got to change the culture and the mindset," she said. "A big part of the problem is the supply and demand of human trafficking. It's got to be a mindset where we're talking to the traffickers and the johns who pursue the sex slaves."
Coakley has an ally in Women's Ministries International (WMI), a Free Methodist Church – USA ministry that is exploring additional ways to work with her.
"It is my hope that Ginger will fill a position on the WMI Executive General Board as a liaison to women, speaking in various venues, raising awareness of the exploitation of women, seeking ways to create new futures for those who desperately need a helping hand," WMI President LaWanda Bullock said. "WMI desires to assist in raising funding for Ginger in order for her to do this work full time."
Online donations from a credit card or bank account can be made to Coakley through the "Make a Donation" area of fmwmi.com. Please choose the "Ginger Coakley Support" category.

COLUMBUS -- After the Washington Capitals made four trades on deadline day, Bruce Boudreau had 25 players at his disposal and depth to combat any situation.
A rash of injuries has tested that depth, but the Capitals are close to having a full complement of healthy bodies in time to fine-tune the lineup for the postseason.
"Two weeks ago everyone was talking about all the depth we had and now we've got all these guys who are injured and might still be a couple games away," center David Steckel said. "It is important for us to start the playoffs with a clean slate health-wise and hopefully everyone can get back and rehabbed in a timely fashion."
Brooks Laich had missed the previous four games after taking a puck off his face in practice, but he returned Thursday against Ottawa. Boudreau said forwards Scott Walker (knee) and Boyd Gordon (back) and defenseman John Carlson (upper body) could be ready to play either Monday against Boston or Tuesday at Pittsburgh.
Brendan Morrison (lower body) isn't likely to be back until one of the team's final two games of the season. As it stands now, the Capitals have only one extra player and defensemen John Erskine and Tyler Sloan have been rotating in that spot.
"I'd like them all back to know if and when we play them that they are all healthy," Boudreau said. "We have a back-to-back next week and I'd like to not have to play all of our guys in both of those games. I think when your body is tired is when you are most susceptible to injury."
In previous weeks before the injuries Boudreau was using the cushion Washington has forged in the standings and the extra players to help rest some of his veterans. Alex Ovechkin, Alexander Semin, Nicklas Backstrom, Mike Green and Mike Knuble are the only guys on the team who have not missed a game, either because of injury or as a healthy scratch, since the Olympic break.
"That's an ideal world but injuries happen," Laich said. "I don't know if [Boudreau] is really set on his playoff lineup. I think we're still working on some combinations, but it would be nice to have a consistent lineup going in just so everybody knows their role and what to expect going in."
"I wanted to get back for sure before the playoffs because I didn't want to get thrown in then. It is tough to say to a player who has been off for a length of time, 'Don't be rusty.' Because in the playoffs we can't afford to give someone time to shake rust off -- if you turn the puck over, maybe it goes in the net and maybe that's the difference."

Letter: Media miss the point
Keith Flaugh, Marco Island
Southwest Florida Citizens Alliance
Media miss the point
Re: Editorial about Marco Island City Council and the Second Amendment.
The media and most of our politicians falsely label this "gun rights" to inflame you, regardless of which side of the dialogue you are on!
Every human claims to have rights! Where do your unalienable rights come from? If you say government, then what government gives you they can and will take away? History proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt.
So where do your rights come from? Simply they are God-given or, if you prefer, they come from nature. You are born with them!
Some 240 years ago our forbearers in the United States formed a more perfect union with one purpose only — "To protect our unalienable rights." They delegated to the federal government, the power and authority for 18 enumerated responsibilities only and all others are retained to the states and the people. They created our U.S. Bill of Rights over the uproar of the anti-federalists because they did not even trust the national government they were creating.
All this talk of compromise on gun rights is the product of ignorance. The only legal recourse Congress and the president have is to first repeal the Second Amendment by passing a repeal by a two-thirds vote and then requiring the states to ratify it by a three-fourths vote.
As a "sheeple,'' you may chose through your ignorance to give away your unalienable right to an oppressive government, but you have zero — I repeat, zero — right to take my God-given right to defend myself and my family against an oppressive government or a criminal.

Labs and Tours
Labs and Tours
We have an exciting list of wetlabs and tours planned!
Please check back often as we update out list. All labs are dependent on availability of specimens
Fish Necropsy Techniques - Dr. Paul Bowser
The lab will provide students with an overview of the procedures utilized to conduct a fish necropsy. Students will have the opportunity to practice the techniques of collection of samples needed to evaluate fish for the presence of viral, bacterial and parasitic organisms.
Clinical hematology in reptiles and birds - Dr. James Morrisey
The goal of this lab is to familiarize the student with the basics of hematology in reptiles and birds. We will spend time discussing the role of each type of white blood cell and then practice identifying these cells. The student will learn to perform an estimated white blood cell count and differential for several avian and reptilian species.
Cetacean anatomy - Dr. Joy Reidenberg
Reptile and amphibian necropsy - Dr. Robert Ossiboff
This laboratory will emphasize key features of reptilian anatomy through postmortem examinations on a variety of reptile specimens. A standardized, comprehensive necropsy technique will be presented, including recommendations for tissue collection and sample selection for microbiological and toxicological diagnostic testing. Species differences and clinical correlates to disease processes will also be discussed. If specimens are available, amphibian necropsy techniques and sample collection will also be discussed.
Comparative anatomy of rodents and basic surgical skills - Drs. Elizabeth Moore and Balu Reddyjarugu
Didactic: General anatomy of rodents, special features of individual species with an emphasis on utility as research models Wet lab: gross anatomy/dissection of mouse, rat, hamster; castration and flank ovariectomy, surgical skills practice (suture placement and knot tying)
Techniques and procedures for routine raptor care and management - Dr. John Parks
Students interested in working with wildlife, zoo species and privately housed birds will likely at some point have contact with raptors. The purpose of this lab will be to introduce students to the housing, handling and restraint of various raptor species, as well as some of the routine procedures important in the care of these species. The lab will be run with the birds housed at the Cornell Raptor Program mews.
Ferrets: Clinical techniques and surgical approaches to the abdomen - Dr. Brendan Noonan
This lab will go over the basics of clinical techniques prior to allowing students to practice the following: physical restraint, venipuncture, SQ injections, IM injections, IV catheter placement, IO catheter placement, and intubation. Individual dissection of supplied ferrets will give students exposure to approaching the ferret abdomen for surgery. Surgery of the adrenal glands, pancreas and basic GI procedures will be reviewed.
Exotics handling and restraint - Jesse Navatta
Wildlife necropsy - Dr. Julia Fernandez
This laboratory will demonstrate comprehensive techniques for performing avian and mammalian necropsies and obtaining appropriate diagnostic samples. Emphasis will be placed on anatomy, necropsy technique, the use of adequate personal protective equipment and collection of samples for toxicology, virology, parasitology and bacteriology with specific examples of diseases present in the Northeast US.
Cases in exotic animal radiology - Meg Thompson
Techniques in darting - Dr. Noha Abou-Madi
Administration of drugs to non-domestic animals may require the use of remote drug delivery systems a.k.a. darting. This workshop will be divided into a short discussion followed by hands-on practical experience with darting equipment. The discussion will review how to evaluate a situation to optimize the chances for a successful delivery under routine and emergency conditions. Safety measures and equipment function will be reviewed. Proper dart preparation, care and cleaning will also be demonstrated. In a second part, participants will be invited to practice darting techniques on fixed targets, using various systems.

IntroductionThose more eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed the addition of a status bar to both the Home Page of this site, as well as the Community Page - bearing the legend 'Affino Automated Customer Ladder - updating in real-time'. You see a sequence of User avatars overlapped by badge icons; if you watch long enough you might witness a real-time update of user activity. In essence, you can assign a points value and follow-on activity for pretty much every type of user activity and interaction on your Affino website. The purpose of the status bar is both to inform and gauge current activity levels, as well as motivate other users into activity such that they themselves might gain those badges. We currently have 42 badges you can attain on Comrz.com - most for good deeds, but we do reserve some for repremands for careless or reckless Social behaviour.Gaming Methodology - awards and rewards in the scheme of thingsFor those who are familiar with geo-location activity badge reward sites Foursquare and Gowalla, we bring you the same basic idea, which is as old as wars! Probably the earliest rewards / awards systems were tribal badges (tattoos and painted symbols) awarded for valor and deeds in battle. These evolved into the familiar medals and stripes we see on soldiers today. If you played well for a public school team, you would be awarded your 'Team Colours' for sporting endeavours - these would decorate your blazer and single you out as a person of accomplishments and sporting prowess. The Boy Scout Movement / Scouts similarly has numerous badges which can be gained for good deeds and specific task completion. This is the essential fundamental incentives mechanic of the Affino Automated Customer Ladder.Humankind's fundamental need to be acknowledged and rewardedRead any book on motivational psyhcology, and you will see that it holds to the same tenets of recognition and reward. All humans have an innate need to be acknowledged by their peers and gain visible rewards for their positive actions. This is the fundamental psychology and driver behind the Affino Automated Customer Ladder.The Principal of the Customer LadderSuspect > Prospect > Customer > Regular > AdvocateThe Customer Ladder is a marketing terminology / device for the process of advancing a cusomer from potential to actual, onto repeat purchase and long term brand-loyalty and brand advocacy. It is every company's secret mission to transition customers along the Customer Ladder to the highest echelongs of Evangelism and Advocacy. The Customer Ladder is often no more than an academic and analytical term, but at Comrz, we have turned it into a dynamic methodology and an actual live, automated customer engagement system.The Affino Automated Customer LadderWe would really have liked to call it the 'Customer Escalator' as this is more indicative of the automation in what it does; however, no one would have any frame of reference for our new terminology, and so we are compelled to use existing terms, and apply them to what we do.The Social Commerce System - Affino, is a complete customer engagement platform which combines all essential community, interactive and transactional capabilities in one seamless single system. Everything happens in and through Affino, and thus we can track and monitor everything that goes on. ONLY Affino has the capabilities to tie together so many different types of technologies and activities, for only Affino has this magnitude of integrated and inter-related functionality and feature set. As we see in the Affino Automated Customer Ladder components below, there are currently 30 different Conversion Event Trigger Types, each of which can be assigned to dozens of different activities and limits and thresholds. As customer earn and accrue badges, they also earn and accrue points accumulatively, as well as individual rewards for different stages of achievement. Current rewards can include further points, assignment to new Security Group/s and additional privileges such as enhanced access rights, coupons and incremental discounts. We have even further and more far reaching plans as you can read below.Affino Automated Customer Ladder ComponentsFirstly, to be eligible for this functionality, you must have bought into the complete Marketplace suite, and have upgraded to Affino Version 6. If you are, and have done, then the following components are what you are eligible for:
What we're currently working onWe're of course adding some recent customer feature requests, as well as adding the main analytics elements to the pop-up Analytics Dashboard. We have some further additions to do to the main Customer Ladder Analytics, including a Funnel Analysis Chart. Keep subscribed to our Blogs for further updates.What is Yet to ComeEven though the Affino Automated Customer Ladder is already fully formed and fully functional as you can see on this very website, we still have lots more plans for it:

Rave Reviews for California Closets Atlanta
Best Organizer in Town!
"I never thought I could become an organized person, but California Closets showed me the way! We had our master bedroom closet completely redone, and you cannot imagine the incredible difference it's made in our lives! Then we added shelving in the kitchen. WOW!
Kathy is absolutely incredible to work with. I've never met anyone so dedicated to making sure every detail of our project was just perfect. She was so concerned with making sure we got exactly what we wanted. She's a true professional, and as sweet as they come. And Mickey and Brian are super nice guys and also true professionals who do fantastic, top-notch work!
California Closets really provides a superior product! I would not scrimp for a lesser product after experiencing their quality product first-hand. I HIGHLY recommend them!"
Great Value and Service
"I worked with Meredith, who was professional, efficient and respectful of my time. I was surprised at the reasonable cost, since I thought Calfornia Closets were on the pricey end. But she didn't try to sell me any more than we needed (refreshing!). The work was done beautifully and on time. Overall, it was a great experience. Don't let the big name daunt you!" ~ Julia
Turn-Key Excellence
"The only thing we did was to pick up the phone to make an appointment. California Closets did all the rest. An experienced and very pleasant designer came to our home and showed us how the closets would look using 3-dimensional state of the art technology.
In-house installers fitted the closets in one day, leaving both rooms they were working in just as they were before the installation - clean. What more could we ask for? The price fit our budget!"
California Closets Is the Best!
"I just moved into my house and the closets were atrocious! Lots of wire and wasted space. I contacted three closet companies and had them all come out to my house to examine the master closet as well as my bathroom and kitchen closets.
One company refused to be flexible with their appointments. One company refused to work with my kitchen closets saying that "they don't do those types of closets".
California Closets came out to my house in the evening and looked at everything. Their bid was competitive and the overall design was very good. I am very happy with their craftsmanship as well as their service. If I needed more done, I'd be thrilled to work with California Closets and Kathy again."
Better Than I Expected
"I am a very organized person and believe there should be a place for everything. That's exactly what California Closets gave us. Our master closet is absolutely perfect.
There was a lot of space to work with but the consultations I had with two other companies prior to calling CC didn't utilize the space very well. Eric came out and assessed the potential and gave us not just room for what we already have, but also room to grow.
From the intial phone call to schedule an appointment, to the actual installation, it was quick, smooth and took just over two weeks.
It would have been installed much sooner but I requested french doors that had to be fabricated especially for our closet, and they came out beautifully. The installers even made sure that the belt rack was placed at the perfect height by using my husbands belt for a reference.
Such attention to detail is exactly what makes CC special. I will definitely be using CC again for the garage, the bonus room and to re-do few reach-ins closets that have those terrible wire systems."
Superb Organization
"We recently had our master closet designed and installed by California Closets. Our rep, Merridith, was fabulous. She came up with ideas I would have never thought of, using every inch posible. Our closet has never been so organized.
We shopped around, but by far California Closets offers the best product and service. It takes a special talent to be able to look at your closet and design one to fit all your needs (some you did not know you had)! No one else held a candle to the design ideas. She worked within our budget to meet our closet dream.
The installation was flawless, and the installer obviously knew his job well. He was very friendly as well. There was absolutely no mess left behind.
Don't waste your time with others - go to the best first. We will definetely use them for future needs!"
Awesome Closet!
"Our new closet was installed yesterday. WOW! WE LOVE IT! We worked with Lynn. She was very friendly and great to work with. The whole process from start to finish was EXCELLENT! We will definitely use California Closets and Lynn again when we are ready to do the other closets in our house. We couldn't be happier!" ~ Bob & Jeff
Thank You California Closets!
"Thanks Lynn and team! I am so happy with my new closet! It has given me so much more space and allowed me to have better function of the space. I was so impressed with the design and installation. You have changed my world and I will recommend you to everyone that I know. Thanks again for such a great job!"

Three men allegedly connected to a group of organized burglars were arrested Sunday after they ransacked an AT&T kiosk inside the Glendale Galleria, police said.
Police stopped Tairez Smith, 22, Willard Hill, 25, and a 16-year-old boy, whose name wasn't released because he is a minor, in a red Buick at Columbus Avenue and Hawthorne Street after they allegedly stole 24 cellphones and five iPhone cases from the mall kiosk, according to Glendale police.
They allegedly ransacked the first-floor AT&T kiosk and left the mall with the loot when a security guard spotted them as they got into the Buick, according to police reports.
Officers caught up with the men a short time later.
Along with the iPhone cases and cell phones, police reported finding a thumb drive, a memory card package, two iPhone chargers, a crowbar and bolt cutters inside the Buick.
The arrests were the latest in a weeks-long spate of burglaries that authorities have tied to a gang-backed crime ring.
The trio reportedly told police detectives that Glendale was a target-rich environment that was easily accessible by freeway, Lorenz said.
They claimed that "Glendale has got a lot of stuff for us," Lorenz added.
The group of thieves, who authorities say hail from South Los Angeles gangs, has been burglarizing homes in affluent neighborhoods in Glendale and the San Fernando Valley.
The thieves typically steal small items of high and quick resale value, police said. Most of the residential burglaries occur during the day when homeowners are at work.
Glendale police have arrested seven burglars in connection with the criminal group.

Health Insurance Quotes
Health insurers cover necessary anthrax testing
Americans concerned about bioterrorism now have one less thing to worry about. Many health insurers say if your doctor orders anthrax tests for you, your insurance will pay for them.
|Many health insurers say if your doctor orders anthrax tests for you, they'll pay for them.
Aetna U.S. Healthcare, CIGNA, Kaiser Permanente, and Oxford have all said they will cover anthrax testing and treatment when "medically appropriate." Additionally, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) says Medicare covers anthrax testing "when reasonable and necessary and ordered by a physician."
"When people are so scared, we need to make sure they have access to physicians, treatment, and testing when they are part of an affected population," says Mohit Ghose, spokesman for the American Association of Health Plans (AAHP).
AAHP communicates by e-mail with the medical directors of its member health plans to disseminate the latest information released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and HHS, according to Ghose. Ghose says the updates underscore just how quickly health care professionals must adapt to constantly evolving scenarios, including who should be tested and when.
Doctors on the front line
While federal authorities have urged more than 10,000 Americans — mostly postal workers in Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Washington, D.C. — to take anti-anthrax antibiotics, attempts to dissuade the public from stockpiling the medications have met with mixed results. Following reports of anthrax cases, some family physicians came under intense pressure from patients to prescribe the drug. That prompted some state medical societies, such as the California Medical Association, to draft letters to encourage their member physicians to "just say no" to inappropriate patient requests for anthrax-fighting drugs.
Additionally, several major California health insurers, including PacifiCare Health Systems, now require a doctor's explanation and pre-approval by the health plan before they'll pay for more than a 14-day supply of Cipro, according to PacifiCare spokesman Ben Singer.
|"[Doctors] are the people on the ground… They are providing the actual care."
Ghose says doctors are on the frontline in the battle against bioterrorism. "They are the people on the ground," he says. "We can only monitor what happens. They are providing the actual care."
Although doctors must decide whether anthrax testing is appropriate on a case-by-case basis, health plan officials point out doctors are not working in a vacuum without guidelines. The CDC has specific recommendations about how physicians should treat patients both with and without symptoms and with or without known exposure to anthrax. Those guidelines have been summarized on the New Jersey Health Department's web site.
For people suspected of contracting anthrax, laboratory testing is essential to diagnosis, according to the CDC. These tests, which most health insurers say they will pay for if ordered by your doctor, might include:
- Cultures of blood and spinal fluid (should be done before antibiotic treatment has been initiated).
- Cultures of tissue or fluids from affected areas.
- Microscopic examination of tissue.
- PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test that amplifies trace amounts of DNA to document the presence of anthrax bacteria.
According to the CDC, one of the most common tests conducted during an anthrax exposure investigation is a nasal swab culture. This test is used to detect anthrax spores in your nose. Nasal swabs don't determine if you have anthrax, but they might show if you have been exposed. The nasal swab cannot rule out exposure to anthrax. In other words, a negative nasal swab test does not mean exposure has not occurred. For this reason, nasal swab cultures must be used in conjunction with one or more of the tests listed above. Nasal swab tests are used mainly to help investigators assess the possible level of exposure, not for medical treatment of the affected individual.

Black Knight of Keno
@Black Knight of Keno
Darth Tepe of today
Join Date
: Oct 2003
: Turku, Finland
: 3,908
As the knock sounded throught the door, Tepe opened his eyes like he was coming back from a dream he did not want to wake up from. Standing up as his loved one entered, he looked at her with a smile.
"The Sith have offeed a bounty on me. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I am a certain target. Taking she isn't going throught normal procedure, I'll take a wild guess she got an offer she couldn't refuse. I will meet her. Take the children and go to Naboo. The lake country should be beautiful at this time of the year. I can't let yoube threathened by the Sith Dominion's assassins. Your guards will keep you safe" he said as he walked to Charna and placed a hand on both sides of her head. With a soft kiss, he bid her adieu for now.
It was later that night when the Works were gleaming a red, misty light when Aislin was permited entrance into the embassy. Normal soldiers escorted her to the top level where she encountered the firstof Tepe's guards. They might've not seemed like much as holograms or as data, but in person they were very intimidating in their own way. They had traditional, rather silly uniforms and the weapons looked old, but the sheer size and the mysterious aura around them and the covering cloaks made them something else completely than scrawny guys playing bodyguards.
The guards escorted her further inside from the elevator and into a dark room where the only light was that coming from the skylines. The guards left the room after showing her a seat where she could wait. Several miniutes later, a door opened and the lights lit up in the room. The man she saw was a rather old-ish man. Not one who would be thought as over a 150 year old ruler of a whole nation. The man's clothing was simplistic even if the Dominion heraldry was splashed around his cape on silver prints.
"I was told you wished to see a member of the royal family?" the man asked as he took a step forth from the door. The cape was wrapped around his body, letting no glance at what he was wearing or armed with while a dark hood covered the view to his face. She must've been quite astounded at the entire security setting, as she was not asked to give her weapons to anyone or to even leave them in the ship.
"You are quite strong with the force, aren't you? You think you can kill a former Sith Lord. I know who you are and why you came here" he said before drawing back the cape that had covered his face in shadows. It was indeed Lord Tepe himself facing her mere meters away. His nearly entirely white eyes looked at her curiously, like waiting for her to do something
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance,
the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe,
are challenged by this point of pale light.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark.
In our obscurity in all this vastness there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

When you debug ASP.NET programs in Visual Studio .NET after you install the Microsoft Security Toolkit, you receive the following error message:
Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web server. The project is not configured to be debugged.
For ASP.NET projects, verify that you have a valid project file called 'Web.config' for the URL specified and 'debug' is set to 'true' in that file.
For ATL Server projects, verify that the 'DEBUG' verb is associated with your ISAPI extension.
Would you like to disable future attempts to debug ASP.NET pages for this project?
The Microsoft Security Toolkit locks down the server so that it only permits certain verbs to be passed through to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). The verb "debug" is not added to the list of approved verbs.
To resolve this problem, locate the Urlscan.ini file in the WinNT\System32\Inetsrv\Urlscan folder. Under the [AllowVerbs] section of Urlscan.ini, add "debug" verbs to the list of approved verbs. Note that adding verbs to the [AllowVerbs] section of Urlscan.ini may lead to possible security compromises, you must also run "iisreset" to clear the cache.
If you do not want to allow the "debug" verb, you can manually attach to the Aspnet_wp.exe (or W3wp.exe, for applications that run on Internet Information Services [IIS] 6.0 ) process to debug in Visual Studio .NET.

Firefox is a widely-used browser – not just by users but web developers. Simply put, Firefox and its addons can make developing for the web easier and simpler. And with the release of Firefox 4, it got even easier. This article features 20 essential Firefox 4 addons for web developers.
Before diving into the Firefox 4 addons, though, here's a quick glimpse into some of the noteworthy new Firefox 4 features that benefit web developers:
• Improved HTML5: Gecko now uses the HTML5 parser, which fixes bugs, improves interoperability, and improves performance.
• Better CSS support: Firefox 4 features support for new CSS transitions, computed values, selector grouping, background image subrectangle, and touch properties.
• New CSS stuff: Firefox 4 adds new CSS properties, pseudo-classes, pseudo-selectors, and functions.
• More graphics and video support: for WebGL, WebM video, SMIL animation for SVG, and more.
• Better DOM support: for JavaScript typed arrays, touch and multi-touch events, and more.
• Improved security: new security features added like Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security, and more.
• Built-in developer tool: Firefox 4 features the Web Console tool which is a debugging aid for web and extension developers.
However, what makes Firefox great is the development community around it, and appropriately there are tons of addons that make your web development simpler and easier.
Please note that four of the extensions below are still marked as 'experimental', but have been tested and do work perfectly well with Firefox 4, they are: HTML5toggle, HTML5 Validator, Mobile Toolkit and Mobilify.

20 Essential Firefox 4 Addons for Web Developers
FireFTP is a free, secure, cross-platform FTP/SFTP client for Mozilla Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP/SFTP servers. Along with transferring your files quickly and efficiently, FireFTP also includes more advanced features such as: directory comparison, syncing directories while navigating, SFTP, SSL encryption, search/filtering, integrity checks, remote editing, drag & drop, file hashing, and more.
Download FireFTP here
HTML5toggle (Experimental)
HTML5toggle provides a button which makes it easy to turn on or off the HTML5 support in Firefox 4. Given that HTML5 support is still evolving, some websites do not work as expected when HTML5 support in Firefox 4 is enabled.
Download HTML5toggle here
HTML5 Validator (Experimental)
HTML5 Validator adds a 'HTML 5 Validator' context menu item to a page's context menu.
Download HTML5 Validator here
IE Tab 2
IE Tab 2 lets you use IE to display web pages in a tab within FireFox. Adopted from the original IE Tab, this version has new features including IE 7, 8 or 9 compatibility modes. You can also import settings from your old IE Tab.
Download IE Tab 2 here
Total Validator
Total Validator lets you perform multiple validations and take screen shots in one go. Total Validator is an all new HTML5 and XHTML5 validation. It provides true HTML validation for HTML 2.0 through to XHTML 1.1 using the official DTDs, plus added attribute and other tests. So you no longer have to put up with the limitations of the W3C validator (no type checking) and tools like HTML Tidy which interpret the standards incorrectly as they don't use the official DTDs.
Download Total Validator here
Web Developer
Web Developer adds various web developer tools to Firefox.Download Web Developer here
EditCSS is a stylesheet modifier in the Sidebar.
Download EditCSS here
Console² replaces the JavaScript Console with what could be the next generation Error Console. Console² let's you display errors filtered by type (Errors, Warnings, Messages), language (JavaScript, CSS, XML) and context (Chrome, Content). Furthermore it provides a simple search box (as seen in the History and Bookmarks sidebars), hiding of duplicates, sidebar optimizations, a customizable toolbar and some more accessibility improvements. From v0.5 includes the Console Filter extension previously available separately from the Console² website.
Download Console² here
CSS Reloader
CSS Reloader allows you to reload all the CSS of any site without you have to reload the page itself. The goal for this browser extension is to enable developers to become more productive. You can use the keyboard shortcut F9, or the context-menu's option "Reload CSS" to reload the CSS files or at page.
Download CSS Reloader here
View Source Chart
View Source Chart lets you inspect the DOM—and learn HTML—at lightning speed. Eyesight is the most efficient way for the human brain to process information. By placing visual boundaries where they already exist invisibly, View Source Chart enables you to take in DOM structure and hierarchy as fast as your brain possibly can.
Download View Source Chart here
Screenshot Pimp
Screenshot Pimp has a silly name but a useful function: it lets you capture, grab, save, download, or copy anything you see in your web browser—and beyond—with only one click. Screenshot Pimp not only creates an image of whatever is inside you're web browser, but it has the ability to also capture the rest of the website that you have not scrolled down to yet. So whether the part of the website you don't see has more text, or an image, or even flash content that is just too big to fit on the page without shrinking or scrolling, Screenshot Pimp allows the user to grab it in multiple formats, and save it to your hard drive.
Download Screenshot Pimp here
Mobile Toolkit (Experimental)
MobileToolkit helps you to validate the code of any page, check it on several mobile emulators and find documentation to improve your mobile compatibility. It offers not only one click code validation but also mobile render emulation for various mobile devices and browsers.
Download Mobile Toolkit here
Mobilify (Experimental)
Mobilify slims down the content of pages and applies a phone frame to better simulate the Firefox Mobile UI for iterative local development. It does this by placing an icon in your Addon Bar that lets you switch a page into "mobile" mode- narrowing theto 320px, darkening the surrounding content, and placing your content in a mobile phone 'frame'. Simply click the 'widescreen' icon to enable mobile mode, and click again to disable.
Download Mobilify here
Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.

Download FirePath for Firebug here
Firepicker for Firebug
Firepicker integrates with Firebug and adds a small color picker dialog when editing a CSS rule in Firebug. Firepicker scans for values that can be parsed as CSS colors (#abc, rgb(1,2,3), blue, red etc.) and displays them in a drop-down list right below the firebug's CSS editor box. Clicking on the color value in the drop-down brings up a color picker dialog.
Download Firepicker for Firebug here

Download iMacros here

Woodcraft worked hard to build a rearset fitting for the beautiful Ducati 848 or 1098.

Any piece of this kit is available separately.

NJ Foodbanks Struggle After Storms [AUDIO]
Its been a double-whammy for foodbanks throughout the state — first Hurricane Irene, followed by the October snowstorm.
As we head into the holiday season, pantries are struggling to keep their shelves stocked.
2011 has been a rough year, said Anthony Guido with the Community FoodBank of New Jersey. "After Irene hit, we provided thousands of warm meals for hurricane victims and then most recently the Halloween storm with all the power outages has really impacted are emergency supplies."
Linda Keenan withe FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties agrees, "we are seeing an increase in need from the storms because people are losing their food when their electricity goes out."
She says donations overall are slowing at an alarming rate. "Our food donations are down about 35 percent compared to last year, yet at the same time we are seeing an increase in the number of people needing emergency food."
Keenan says just for Thanksgiving alone, they have seen an increase in need. "Last year we needed 10,000 turkeys, and this year we need 11,000, because there are more families signing up at the pantries."
Guido says more people are going hungry than ever before, "The past year we distributed over 40 million pounds of food, helped to feed more than 900,000 people in 18 of the state's 21 counties, so there's a big crunch on our services for sure."
"Last year alone we provided emergency food to over 127,000 people in Monmouth and Ocean counties alone, which is an 85 percent increase from the number we were serving five years ago" said Keenan.
Both Guido and Keenan said its a critical time for donations. "We are heading into our busiest season where the most people are in need, so anyone who can help, the general public, corporations, supermarket chains, is desperately needed at this point."

The 2014 NFL Draft is just ten days away, and Boise State could have as many as four players selected. Meanwhile, off-season workouts are in full swing for the Broncos already in the league- and the ones looking for another job.
Daryn Colledge is in that latter group. The 6'4'' 300-lb. guard started all four years at Boise State and was selected 47th overall in the 2006 draft. He played five seasons in Green Bay before inking a five-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals. Last month, Colledge was unceremoniously released.
Now the 32 year-old is biding his time as he waits to see if he has a future in the NFL.
"I'm just waiting, you know? I'm doing the free agency thing... Doing the older guy free agency thing," Colledge explains. "I would expect to hear something after the draft, and if nothing happens after the draft, then I'll take that next step in life and worry about that when it comes."
Colledge typically trains at Fischer Sports in Phoenix, but in early April, Daryn spent a week in Boise and visited coach Harsin's alumni practice. He said hanging out with the younger guys got him hungry again.
"I'm going to leave the fish stories short for now," he laughs. "But every guy out here thinks he's the best player to walk through those doors. There's not a single guy out here that doesn't think he could be doing better than the kids out there right now."
Colledge isn't the only former Bronco trying to get back into the League. Undrafted linebacker Tommy Smith caught on with the Cleveland Browns last preseason, but was released in late August. Smith has kept himself in shape since then, in hopes of getting another crack at being a pro this year.
"It was a good experience. It was different, but it was good," said Smith of his time in Cleveland. "A lot of competition, kind of like Boise. You go to work every day, but it's just different being in a lot more meetings. You're there from like 7 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock at night. It's all business."
Smith said he hasn't worked out for any teams yet this off-season, but he's optimistic about finding his way into an NFL camp this summer.
