Analysts at Credit Suisse have lowered their earnings estimates
and price target on shares of Sonoco Products (
), while maintaining its Neutral rating.
"Sonoco management acknowledged a sluggish and generally
uncooperative macro environment and anticipates 2% US GDP growth
next year (in-line with Credit Suisse economists)," said Credit
Suisse in its report. "SON shares tend to perform best when the
company's industrial businesses are meaningfully accelerating and
driving strong operating leverage; we expect this should largely
remain absent in 2013."
The firm lowered its 2013/2014 EPS estimates on SON to
$2.29/$2.43 from $2.43/$2.58. The price target was lowered to $32
from $33 a share.
SON is down 0.27% to $29.68 in afternoon trading within a
52-week range of $28.61 - $34.83.

The Main door being the most majestic & huge should always open inwards & the location of main door in a house or a plot is one of the most significant aspects that would bring in stability in the home or office constructed.
Ideally the main door should be in the auspicious grids of North-east , East , South ,West North corner of the plot ( known through division of the plot into grids) , which should never be in the extended or cut portion of the plot. Main door should never be in the middle of the plot, as it can ruin the family being in the bhramasthan of commercial & residential complexes. Though religious places can have main doors at centre.
All the remaining doors & windows of the house or office should be proportionate to the main door. There should be no door exactly opposite the main door. Always keep the door joints well lubricated. Always the back door of the building should be smaller than the entrance door. The office or house should have even number of doors & windows. There should be no obstruction in front of the main door.
So by taking care of such small things we can really invite good luck to our construction right way through our main door.

I Began to Think of Myself as Unworthy of "Santosha." ~ Caitlin Marcoux
Sh**t Happens.
I made a pact with myself: I would believe myself worthy of being enough.
There have been many times in my life when I have felt grounded and strong, confident and full. I've had "important" jobs and respectable earnings. I've had fulfilling friendships and passionate romances. I've had critical acclaim, glowing reviews, approved applications and positive survey feedback.
There have even been times in my life when I've had all of these things simultaneously and have felt a deep sense of fulfillment from both within and beyond; I've liked where I was, who I was and what I was doing.
I was enough.
But my late 20s were a tumultuous time. After an eight-year stint in Brooklyn, I left my life in New York City after 9/11 and moved to Chicago. While I was there, my best friend from back home died suddenly and inexplicably. We were 25.
When I was 27, my boyfriend of two years and husband of one month was diagnosed with a rare cancer and died eight weeks later. I was grief-stricken and bereft. Self-doubt crept into my heart and my "I'm-going-to-take-on-the-world" self-confidence dried up.
A few months after my husband's death, I found myself snorting cocaine off the back of a toilet in a dive bar in Chicago.
Severe self-loathing took hold.
I made some half-hearted attempts to get back onto my yoga mat, but I lost. I found myself spending more time drinking and in toxic relationships than practicing yoga with my friends.
Three years later, I fled Chicago. I returned to my hometown and rushed into a second marriage, still full of grief over the last one. My self-esteem plummeted when, just shy of two years, that marriage ended divorce.
For a myriad of reasons, I began to think myself simply unworthy of true happiness, love or santosha (contentment).
Then, in late 2010 I found myself unexpectedly falling in love again and the hole in my heart that I had been trying to plug since my first husband's death felt temporarily full. Of course, it wasn't long after the flush of fresh love began to calm that I started to doubt my worth again.
Inevitably, the high wore off and the emptiness and doubt returned.
I started to worry that my new partner didn't think I was smart enough, successful enough or spiritually evolved enough. I began to judge myself through the harshest of lenses: I didn't meditate enough. I hadn't traveled enough. I wasn't a global activist. Blah, blah, blah…
I stopped talking at dinner parties, and began resenting people for their own exciting stories, careers, adventures and vacations. I began to believe I didn't have enough to offer my partner, my students, my son or my friends.
I doubt that this is a unique experience.
Change the details and substitute names and locations and any number of people I've met in recent years could plug themselves into this story. We're human. We make mistakes. Shit happens and then we're faced with choices. Sometimes we make good choices, sometimes we don't. If we're lucky, there are teachers nearby who can guide us, friends who can help us or family members who can support us.
This summer, when the doubt started to choke me up again, I had my yoga practice to guide me. So I made a pact with myself: I would believe myself worthy of being enough.
My yoga practice bore witness to this promise and there was an almost immediate shift. I realized that the same diligence I was applying to asana could be dedicated to the practice of worthiness.
We can all do this practice.
So often we put our faith in external things: belief systems, iconography, cultural identity, religion and science. Why not put our focus on ourselves and start cultivating faith in our own worthiness?
Let's start believing that we are enough.
When we do, the world opens its arms to us, and love and compassion envelop us. When we love ourselves, faults and all, we are more lovable to others and we can bravely love others right back.
We are more than our failed relationships, our divorces and losses. We are more than our up-in-the-middle-of-the-night worries. We are not our traumas, we are survivors. We are full of stories that don't end badly; and even with the ones that do, we can choose not to run from them, but to learn from them.
We are capable, loving, imperfectly perfect, compassionate beings. When I started believe this (and it's still not every day) I began to see that I am—and you are—more rich in beautiful experiences than tragic ones. Let's start identifying ourselves more with the former than with the latter.
When you doubt it, say it out loud. Write it down. Stare at it. And believe it.
You are enough.
You are enough.
You are enough.

The emotions in this article are ones we can all relate too. Well done.
beautifully written caitlin! I really needed to read this today!! namaste
Reading this today struck me in such a beautiful way. After spending days and nights feeling completely stressed and unworthy, the way I usually feel during the holidays when I realize I'm not able to give in the way I'd like to, connect with my family of origin who are emotionally unavailable to receive, or just simply laugh with reckless abandon but feel so little real joy that I'm unable to even fake it, I realize that my core belief of "not being enough" needs some looking in to. I'm not the only one out there that has struggled and I'm not the only one who feels the way I do. As Caitlin has so eloquently reminded me, I AM worthy of love and I'm enough to be able to love fully and completely. Thank you for the reminder!!
Absolutely beautiful Caitlin! We are enough, no matter what stage or state of life. Thank you! Namaste yogini.
Just beautiful.
[…] Published today on elephantjournal.com […]
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I recently filled out an application to a second yoga school and I want you to know how much of an impact you've been to me, this is a part of what I said….
"Out of the many, many teachers all over the country I have been to, what drew me to Caitlin's classes was the passion and belief I saw within her, I am big on body language and eye contact and watching her teach, made me believe in her practice. She has a soft balance of confidence and knowledge that evenly flows into a blissful practice. Not only did I dramatically strengthen physically, but mentally, her words of practicing non-judgment and letting go of whatever may be holding you back imprinted in my mind. What she also has is this fire…she has energy that you can feel she can't wait to flow into her practice and to give to her students."
I thank you greatly for that and look forward to returning to Nantucket for another season to practice, grow, and learn more, because no matter how many certifications I am getting this winter one person can achieve, the world of yoga offers a limitless ability to explore so many angles.

Thank you so much for sharing Caitlin! I know that I must believe in my own basic goodness and worth in order to engage fully with the world and with others, and to work through obstacles with grace. I also know that doing so will be an ongoing practice for the rest of my days…it can be daunting and lonely, but your commitment truly inspires!!
What a candid and poignant article. The transformation of the human spirit is truly one of the most beautiful things. In a society where we are taught to consume and live by fear, this is a beautiful reminder- we are enough.
We are certainly our own biggest obstacles in life on our path to self discovery and happiness. I continue to be proud of you as a mother, a teacher, a yogi and as a friend. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Love this– here is possibly no greater gift to self than to let go of measuring, and to become the tender witness of both the wicked and the wonderful.
Namaste Caitlin!
Thank you Caitlin! This is so honest and beautiful and I can identify with these feelings, especially recently. I really needed this and am so grateful for your sharing this with us all! Let us move into the 'new world' with more awareness and compassion for ourselves and others. We are worthy, we are enough, we are love.
What a well-writte, stunningly transparent, achingly relatable post. Thank you, Caitlin…
Thank you for sharing! But I have to say – You forgot one very important thing in this short description of the richness of your life! Don't forget the inner strength you found in choosing to do things your way and giving birth to Griffin at home! (-:

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the ability of the IND One Step Strep A test to accurately test a throat swab specimen from a symptomatic patient for the presence or absence of Group A Streptococcus (Strep A) when compared to culture.
Strep Throat
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort

Group A Streptococcus is a principal cause of respiratory infections such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, and scarlet fever. Since pharyngitis can lead to rheumatic fever or acute glomerulonephritis, it is important to differentiate streptococcal pharyngitis from viral disease during early stages of infection. The Strep A Rapid Test is a simple and rapid test which can detect Group A Streptococcal antigen directly from throat swabs allowing physicians to make a rapid diagnosis and to administer therapy immediately. The IND Diagnostic Inc. Strep A Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunoassay utilizing colloidal gold reagents labeled with Strep A antibody. The test detects either viable or nonviable organisms directly from throat swabs within 10 minutes.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|3 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
Male and female subjects, 3 years of age or older, exhibiting symptoms consistent with Strep A infection.

2 Slice Die Cast Smart Toaster by Breville
The Breville Die-Cast 2-Slice Toaster offers a relaxing toasting experience with a single-touch motorized automatic lowering for handling delicate breads. Simply slip your toast into the bread carriage and choose from four preset settings from Lift and Look, A Bit More, Bagel, and Defrost. With Breville's Lift and Look technology in the 2-slice toaster, you can peek at the toast even during the middle of the toasting cycle with no resetting or canceling. If you see that your toast is already perfectly brown, press the cancel button and enjoy immediately. Does it need more time? Lower the bread carriage and this smart toaster will finish the cycle you first started. What happens if your toast still isn't done? Breville has thought of a solution for that, too! The A Bit More™ function will take your almost-done toast and add the finishing touches with the aid of a smart chip. An illuminated toasting progress LED indicator allows you to see when your toast is almost done, so there is no more going back and forth from across the room to peer into the toaster.

Celebrated television personality, iconic New Yorker and "LIVE!" co-host, Kelly Ripa, unveiled her new wax figure at Madame Tussauds New York on April 5th. After giving the "LIVE!" studio audience a sneak peek during the morning's show, Ripa and her wax double traveled to Times Square to launch the attraction's newest exhibit, The Spirit of New York.
Ripa's wax figure is seated in a raised stool created to replicate the seat she occupies each morning on the set of "LIVE!," and is the first new figure to be inducted into MTNY's new Spirit of New York exhibit. The Spirit of New York is the ultimate interactive tribute to New York City and the people and places that have become synonymous with the city over the years.
"We are thrilled to add Kelly Ripa's wax figure to our attraction, and especially excited to include her in the Spirit of New York, an addition that is meant to showcase the people and places that will forever be associated with New York in the public conscience," said Bret Pidgeon, General Manager of Madame Tussauds New York. "Kelly is certainly an iconic New Yorker, and I couldn't imagine a better way to kick-off the grand opening of our new exhibit."
Ripa was an enthusiastic participant in the creation of her wax figure, spending more than three hours with a team of Madame Tussauds studio artists who flew from London to the "LIVE! with Regis and Kelly" studio to take hundreds of precise measurements and photos of her this fall. The star worked closely with the Tussauds team to recreate her look, even graciously donating the red, Diane von Furstenberg dress and Christian Louboutin shoes her figure dons. Ripa's wax figure is also wearing a Laura Mannix necklace that was recreated with the help of the designer
Ripa's wax figure will join the likes of Woody Allen, Marilyn Monroe, Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, Matt Lauer, Al Roker, the famous Radio City Rockettes, Donald Trump and former New York City Mayor, Rudolph Giuliani in The Spirit of New York exhibit.

Managing Licenses with Altiris 7.1 SP2
Question 1: I would like to know how much license management can be done through Altiris 7.1 SP2 on various platforms (Windows, Linux, HP-UX and Solaris)?
Here is my understanding, please correct me if I am wrong:
You can manage licenses either through CMS or AMS but the methodologies are different:
- CMS and AMS use the Inventory Solution to gather software information.
- CMS uses the Symantec Management Console enhanced views to perform operations like Manage Software, Add License Purchase and Add Software Product.
- With AMS you get more options than CMS. Like create Software Product item, resource, purchase, renewal information, and track them
Question 2: AMS says that "you can create and manage the software products that are not installed in your environment." In what scenario can this be useful
Question 3a:Can AMS or CMS auto-detect all the softwares installed in Windows, Linux, HP-UX and Solaris?
Question 3b:Can I manage every information and track software licenses for every software in Windows, Linux, HP-UX and Solaris? Can I do that with both CMS and AMS?
Question 4: What part does application metering play in terms of license management? Does application metering work the same in Windows, Linux, HP-UX and Solaris?
I hope my questions are clear to understand. Please notify otherwise.
Thank you.
Comments 1 Comment • Jump to latest comment
Licence Management is performed via AMS, as that allows you to create actual license objects that can be associated with software objects.
Inventory Solution will tell you what software is installed on each machine.
Application Metering will tell you what software has been used on each machine (Windows only).
Our "Installed vs Used" report will allow you to perform license harvetsing (removing unused software from machines, in order to deploy it to users that will actually use it).
Connect Etiquette: "Mark as Solution" those posts which resolve your problem, and give a thumbs up to useful comments, articles and downloads.

On our recent travels to Sri Lanka we found out the locals traditionally don't use metal cooking pans, but instead use terracotta alternatives. These begin life as bright red, and you can tell a well seasoned pot as it will be almost black. We decided to buy one, and a coconut spoon, and carefully bring it back on the plane.
When we arrived home I have scoured the internet in search of comprehensive references of this humble cooking pot, but have found surprisingly little. Therefore this technique for sealing a brand new chatti, which our guide told us of, may be a true internet exclusive! Although no doubt, you'll tell me differently!
Add the grated meat of one coconut to the pot and slowly heat the pan, turning the contents occasionally, until the coconut is fully brown. Then empty the pot and allow it to fully cool. You then have to fill the pot with cold water and slowly heat the liquid until its boiling - this will likely require the lid. At this point add a liberal dusting of cooking salt and slowly simmer the liquid for several hours. In total i boiled our pot for approximately 8 hours, during which the impurities inherent in the terracotta pot were drawn out and were evident on the exterior of the pot. Its now ready to use. Exclusive over!!
I find the terracotta chatti a delight to cook in, and find it much more sympathetic to temperature variations than a metal alternative which is easy to over heat.

TRENTON, N.J. -- The U.S. Small Business Administration has approved over $42.3 million in disaster assistance loans for 653 New Jersey residents and businesses affected by Hurricane Sandy.

Those affected by the disaster are encouraged to apply now and may apply for disaster loans electronically from SBA's website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/.
Applicants do not have to wait for insurance to be settled before applying. No one is obligated to take a loan if it is offered, but if you don't accept a loan, you may not be eligible for FEMA's Other Needs Assistance. However, it is important for businesses and residents to maximize their recovery resources and take time to submit their SBA disaster applications before the December 31 deadline.

Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs): to help small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture, and most private, non-profit organizations of all sizes meet their ordinary financial obligations that cannot be met as a direct result of the disaster.
Interest rates are as low as 1.688 percent for homeowners and renters, 3 percent for non-profit organizations and 4 percent for businesses with terms up to 30 years.
The filing deadline to return applications for physical damage is December 31, 2012. The deadline to return economic injury applications is July 31, 2013.
SBA customer service representatives are available at all Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) throughout the state and at the ten Business Recovery Centers (BRCs) in Atlantic City, Hackensack, Cape May, Newark, Jersey City, Piscataway, Lincroft, Manahawkin, Paterson and Plainfield.

Being a successful Poker player will mean that you have a basic understanding of the card ranking system in the game. The poker hand always consists of five cards in each hand. You want to always strive to reach the highest hand possible to provide you with more of a chance to win the hand. The ultimate hand that you want to strive to achieve is the Straight Flush. This is five consecutive cards of the same suit. If you have an Ace in the hand then you will have an Ace high Straight Flush. This means that if one of your opponents also has a straight and their high card is only a Jack then you will win the hand, due to the highest card in the flush. A Royal Flush is a sequence of cards of the same suit such as Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten. They must be in sequence to create a royal Flush.
The next highest card ranking is the Four of a Kind. If you have four eights and an Ace, then you will have four of a kind with an Ace high. These are also sometimes called quads. The Full house consists of five cards, three of the same rank and two of another rank. This is also called a Boat. If you take some time to learn the ranking system you will only understand more of the games play. The Straight is five cards of consecutive ranks. These cards are not of the same suit. You can have a high or Low straight. This is based upon the numbers of the face cards that are in your hand. If you have a Low Ace Straight this is also called a wheel.
If you have three of the same face cards, then you will have a three of a kind. They are called trips or triplet. If you have two pair of cards of different suits then you will have a Two of a kind. This would consist of the following, 3-3-4-4-8. You will have two pair with eight high. If another play also has two pair, then the winner will be determined by the highest face card value. Sometimes you will have nothing. That means exactly that, you do not have any cards that can be counted as anything productive in the game of poker.
General rules that apply are high hand type beats low hand types. It is possible for the hand be ruled as a tie. In that case the jackpot will be split equally between both declared winners. Before you join a game be sure that you understand what variation of poker game will be played and what the stakes are set for. If you have a group of individuals that you play with the standards have probably been already established from previous games. If you join a game it will be assumed you are accepting the set terms of play.

compression test came back not good, what now?
The shop called and said the compression on the drivers side were in the 250-260 range (one as low as 200) and the passenger side were in the 350 area. the truck has 175k, he said that nothing else seem to be too out of the ordinary besides the low compression which would be while it has white/blue smoke at start up, cold idles a little rough, and i feel like it takes a lot of throttle for the truck to get out of its own way while driving. Im going to talk to him more about it tomorrow when i go to pick the truck up. my dad seems to think we can get a re-ring kit and tear it, hone, and reassemble with the motor still in the truck? he has heard of people doing this and i feel like it would be a nightmare or is that just me?
Might be able to if u can get the oil pan off! but you'll still have to pull the heads too, big job, probleys easier to pull out of the truck!
Did they try to isolate if it was rings or valves? Just telling you the compression is down will have you chasing ghosts if you get it wrong.
Can't pull the oil pan with the motor in the truck. I'd just pull it and clean everything up while you have it out. Could they do a leak-down test to narrow it down a bit? Cheers!
No they didnt go as far as doing a leak down test. I think their idea was to do a compression test to find out if it was compression or injectors causing the cold hard start/rough idle/no power. I have been working on the truck for a couple months doing things here and there.
I got it from my dad and it was his super cheap project that he had got from an auction and the only reason i started working on it was because my girlfriend totaled her escape and i let her take over payments of the 03 f150 with a 6 in lift and 35's i had just picked up 2 months before the escape got totaled.
And so far its been a cluster trying to get it running right and proved to be way more expensive to work on than i had really anticipated. I have a feeling this is one of those projects that is going to nickel and dime me to death but its more like 5's and 10's. I could part the truck out for more then what it it would be worth after i dump 4k into the motor, another grand into a windshield and clutch setup it needs badly as the dual mass flywheel is wore out and a ticking time bomb. with buying it, motor, trans, clutch, body work, Id have two or three fold the blue book and price i could sell it for which is 2-3k above blue book in my area.
trans-depending on what you need you can just run it with a few bad syncros, or rebuild it yourself for 250ish$ for a syncro kit.
clutch- Kens pulling parts is really cheap, he has a solid flywheel kit, the entire thing for 510 shipped. thats with a 500hp clutch.
motor- I would look on the classifieds for one that is known good. You could run a compression test on it, if it tests good then check to see if the coolent has any SCAs in it...or just go for it....if its lower mileage i wouldnt worry about that. I see engines up my way on craigslist for 600$ sometimes.
or you can look into rebuilding it. If its just a valve job then that's not that big of a deal.
body work- ask for bondo and rattle cans for christmas
dude, thats terrible news to find out. Sorry hope you figure something out that doesn't involve parting the truck.
I think for now im going to leave it together. my daily driver is now my weekend wheeler nissian pathfinder and if anything happens to that i can still get back and forth to work in the powerstroke. and in the mean time i am going to finish assembling the built motor and get it in my 66 F-250 highboy and tidy up a couple loose ends in that so that can be my extra rig while i pull the motor in the powerstroke and have a buddy in a diesel program check out the block and see if the cylinders are in good enough shape to hone or if it needs to be bored out, and if it needs to be bored im going to start looking for a used motor or find a donor truck thats been wrecked or with a bad auto or something of the sort. are the SD 7.3 blocks the same as whats in my truck? as in find a good used SD motor and swap top ends out? im going to guess life isnt that simple is it?
top endstuff like turbo, plenums, hpop (upgrade from 15degree) are different though.

Grangemouth: Crunch today as Ineos considers split workforce vote
October 22, 2013 | Natasha Alperowicz
The confrontation between Ineos, owner of the Grangemouth, UK, refinery and petrochemical site and the Unite union comes to a head today after about half the complex's 1,370 workers apparently rejected Ineos's survival plan. The proposal includes abandoning the final salary pension plan, reduced shift payments, and other cost reductions. The plan was put directly to the workforce, bypassing the union, for acceptance or rejection by the evening of 21 October, but Unite asked its members to reply directly to the union. Unite said after the deadline...

Translators can be arranged.
All bankruptcy cases are handled by two attorneys and a legal assistant. Each case is carefully reviewed by all involved before filing.
When the opportunity exists to use these practices in bankruptcy, this is preferable to expensive litigation that could take time our clients may not have. The best alternative that is available to our client is what is selected.
We work very closely with the Volunteer Lawyers Program to provide pro bono services. Additionally, each attorney volunteers with the Street Law program during the summers, to offer legal services to those unable to afford attorney services. Elizabeth Wallace participates in the bankruptcy screening process for the Volunteer Lawyers Program.
We believe that the services of attorneys should be readily available to those who need them, when they need them most, and that cost should not be a prohibitive factor in securing counsel. We provide excellent services, while maintaining low-cost alternatives for our clients.
Our website contains very detailed information about the different types of bankruptcy available to our clients, how the laws may apply to them, and what the process entails. Additionally, the other areas of law that our attorneys practice are outlined on our website, including information packets and how to gather the required documents to prepare for meeting with the attorneys. We do maintain a Facebook page with recent articles about bankruptcy, in order to allow clients to keep up with changing trends in law and court procedure.
The firm was established by Dennis Wallace over thirty years ago, and was taken over by Anastasia Karson in 2007. Elizabeth Wallace joined the practice after being admitted to the bar in May of 2007.
All bankruptcy cases are handled by two attorneys and a legal assistant. Each case is carefully reviewed by all involved before filing.

Any past disbarments and suspensions (with possible exceptions for minor violations or nonpayment of dues, in our discretion) will be indicated accordingly in the badge. Member attorneys are required to notify Nolo immediately if they become the subject of any disciplinary action by any state licensing agency.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A bill will once again go before Florida House and Senate committees to install cameras on school buses and ticket illegal passers.
At the end of 2011, First Coast News launched an investigation into drivers recklessly driving near school buses, putting local children in danger. On just 3 stops, we caught 6 drivers speeding by stopped buses, and 12 ignoring the yellow warning lights - going faster to get by the bus before it stops, rather than slowing down as they're supposed to.
"We've had incidents where they almost got hit by a car," said school bus driver Ms. Brooke. "And, you know, then you have to worry about getting hit from behind... Sometimes it takes other vehicle's drivers to blow their horns to try to get the traffic to stop."
It's a problem state legislators are hoping to fix, once again introducing a bill to install cameras on buses to capture the license plate of stop arm violators and ticket the owner of the vehicle.
"Nowhere you're going to is so important that it should put a child's life at risk," Florida Senator Oscar Braynon (D-Miami Gardens), who is sponsoring the bill, has said.
If the bill passes, it'll be up to school districts to get the cameras. It's a move Georgia districts are already trying out. In Camden County, starting March 16th, if drivers pass a stopped bus, they can expect a ticket in the mail. As far as funding is concerned, vendors would install the cameras, and the money from tickets would pay for the installation.
The 2013 legislative session starts next week. Braynon is once again sponsoring the bill. It's Senate Bill 950. Florida State Representative Ed Hooper from Clearwater is the House sponsor of House Bill 669.
Local representative Daniel Davis is the chairman of the House committee that will be hearing the House bill first. So if you support or oppose the bill's passing, you can find their contact information below.

Behavioral and Brain Functions 2013, 9:11 doi:10.1186/1744-9081-9-11Published: 12 March 2013
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has consistently been implicated in the pathology of both drug and behavioral addictions. However, no study to date has examined OFC thickness in internet addiction. In the current study, we investigated the existence of differences in cortical thickness of the OFC in adolescents with internet addiction. On the basis of recently proposed theoretical models of addiction, we predicted a reduction of thickness in the OFC of internet addicted individuals.
Participants were 15 male adolescents diagnosed as having internet addiction and 15 male healthy comparison subjects. Brain magnetic resonance images were acquired on a 3T MRI and group differences in cortical thickness were analyzed using FreeSurfer. Our results confirmed that male adolescents with internet addiction have significantly decreased cortical thickness in the right lateral OFC (p<0.05).
This finding supports the view that the OFC alterations in adolescents with internet addiction reflect a shared neurobiological marker of addiction-related disorders in general.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on May 5, 2012.
A free-to-play location-based mobile game created by Richard Garfield, inventor of Magic: The Gathering.
About this project
Don't delay, this is a great project and there are some pretty incredible rewards (see below).
Map Monsters is a free-to-play location-based adventure game designed by the venerable Richard Garfield, creator of Magic: The Gathering, Schizoid, King of Tokyo, and many other fantastic video and analog games.
EARTH-SHAKING REWARD UPDATE (May 2nd)
More Game Credit -- At the $5 contribution level, you now get $10 in virtual game credit. At the $15 contribution level, you get $25 in virtual goods game credit. All other aspects of those reward levels remain the same.
If we reach our fundraising goal of $40,000:
MtG Artist Cards and a Cool Monsternauts Patch -- Every $15-tier donor and higher will receive a set of 8 full-color art cards with illustrations by Magic: the Gathering artist Mark Poole, inspired by Map Monsters; and an embroidered patch with the Monsternaut eyebat logo, suitable for wearing on jackets and backpacks.
Nerdcore Rising -- All backers will get 3 new MP3 music tracks by MC Frontalot and Baddd Spellah, remixing the Map Monsters soundtrack nerdcore style; and we will add those tracks to the game.
Signed MtG Artist Sketchbook -- Backers at the $250 level and above will each get a signed copy of Magic: the Gathering artist Randy Gallegos' 64-page sketchbook, Dreaming in Black and White.
Backers-Only Game Design Workshop -- All backers at the $100 level and above will receive admission to an exclusive 4-hour workshop on game design in Seattle, led by Richard Garfield along with other well-known game designers. We've already heard from Wolfgang Baur (Kobold Quarterly and Open Design), and Mike Selinker (Lone Shark Games) that they'd be on board with this. Wolfgang and Mike will bring a limited number of free-while-supplies-last copies of their book The Kobold Guide to Board Game Design (to which Richard contributed) to the event, with additional copies available for purchase onsite if you arrived too late to get a free copy.
Expanded Game Night -- All backers at the $500 and above level will be invited to attend the game night in Seattle with Richard Garfield -- a reward previously only available at the $2,500 level and above. (Backers are still responsible for their own travel.)
Dinner with Richard Garfield -- Backers at the $2,500 and $4,000 levels will not only get to attend game night, they'll have dinner with Richard at a nice Seattle restaurant.
Custom Fantasy Map -- Each backer at the $4,000 tier will receive an 11"x17" hand-drawn fantasy poster map of their real-life neighborhood, by Lands of Ice and Fire (the setting for Game of Thrones) cartographer Jonathan Roberts in PDF format.
It is 1962. NASA scientists have just discovered the wonders of Tang. In a small office at NASA's Ames Research Center, a young Professor Stephen Six makes a far more startling discovery - a hidden dimension sitting on top of our own. What he finds is disturbing. In this other space, monster-like creatures are running amok. What's worse, these monsters are occasionally popping into our world, taking objects, and hoarding them in their own strange space.
Back then, it seemed relatively harmless--a sock stolen from a dryer, some spare change missing from a closet. Professor Six decided to hide his findings for fear of causing mass hysteria. For years he quietly studied the other dimension, searching for a way to cross over.
Now the monsters have grown bolder, and the thefts of animals and landmarks are too big to hide. Only you, as a member of Professor Six's monsternauts team, can cross to the other dimension and return what was stolen!
You have the map. You have your net. Do you have what it takes to find the monsters?
In Map Monsters, you play a member of an elite monster containment unit tasked with catching the unsavory beasts and recapturing our world's lost heirlooms. Using your Field Guide to Monsters as a reference, track your progress and unlock the mysteries of Map Monsters.
The ability to incorporate your physical location in a game has only recently been possible with convergence of GPS and mobile computing on smartphones and tablets. This new location-based mechanic opens up a whole new area of game design, which we intend to explore in Map Monsters.
- Location done right. Unlike other attempts at location-based games, our approach is to make location a secondary, not primary, mechanic. In Map Monsters, it's not necessary to travel physically, although players that do will advance in the game more quickly.
- Earth as a game board. We take raw map data from the four corners of the globe and roll a fictional world that mirrors our own.
- Virtual travel. You're not limited to what you can find in your physical location; walk your character through a virtual world teaming with new things to discover.
- Explore. You never know what you'll find in the game by checking in to new physical locations, or walking your character throughout the world.
- Scarcity. You'll find an abundance of some items in your area, but you'll have to travel further afield or trade with others from far away places to succeed.
- Build. Like to build stuff? Build mileposts, roads, goldmines, farms and more.
- Social. Trade with your friends, use their roads, collaborate to fight monsters.
- Available platforms. Available on iPhone and iPad initially; we plan to work on porting the game to Android subsequently.
BodSix, creators of Map Monsters is led by the creative efforts of the ever talented Richard Garfield, creator of Magic: The Gathering and supported by a crackerjack team of game developers and artists with experiences at Amazon, Apple, Pixar, and Wizards of the Coast.
Can we make a game for $40K? No way. Fortunately, we've already invested over 12-months and several thousands of hours into this project and have completed the game engine, art assets, and core game mechanics. The remaining money gets us to the finish line.
We've bootstrapped our way to this point and we need your help to continue our efforts and launch. Kickstarter helps us complete our vision and share the fruits of our labor with you.
All funds will be devoted to completing development of the project. The first $40K in contributions will allow us to complete our social game elements, add additional content to make the world we're creating truly epic in scale and variety, and add great secondary mechanics and polish (hidden treasure chests anyone?). Additional contributions will be used to add even more content and add to the richness of Map Monsters.
Contributions beyond $100K will be put toward porting the game to Android devices and begin to add localized content and language support to international audiences.
In return for your generosity, we promise is a fun-filled world to explore with exciting game play, oh yeah and some cool rewards...
Here's a more in-depth interview with Richard Garfield talking about Location Based Games and Map Monsters.
It seems clever to use exploration as the main mode of the game, and gathering new allies can be cool. But is this merely a game for completionists?
No! It's designed so that you can collect sub-sets rather easily. More importantly, you build up a network that you can easily compare with your friends, and at the same time your network is valuable to both your completist and non-completist friends.
The monsters all have different feels and gameplay associated with capturing them. Some make your session shorter, some burn out your equipment, some are tricky to find, etc. The player will have to develop different tactics to deal with each optimally.
The description claims that gameplay options based on geography is a secondary issue, and that the game is playable without the travel aspect. Which is good, but if it is secondary, why put it in at all?
Map Monsters allows the player a blend of traveling or not traveling. A major idea of the game is that travel helps a lot, and it gives really cool benefits, but it's not something that needs to be undertaken on a regular basis. If you never leave your home at all, the game would probably not be your best choice for fun. If you travel and check in at different places occasionally, but mostly play from one location, the game works extremely well. If you purposefully travel and check in a ton, you'll do a little better at the game than most.
It's made to mirror an average person's life: you're not going to travel around a lot, and never just for the game. If you travel some, the game will give you nice rewards.
Most proxy battle players are generally JRPG players or stat crunchers. Can a player out-math the game, or will several hours of grinding overcome most issues?
We'd be lying if we said you can't grind to overcome issues--that's always in there as a back-up route. But intelligence, friends, and luck play important roles in your advancement.
The 'story' of Map Monsters is more an ever-richening setting. We intend to add constantly to the world both in terms of the monsters and the collectibles. The collections of objects are going to get more interesting--quirky and puzzly perhaps. The cool thing is that the game state will be a mixture of what you do in the game, and what you do in real life. You'll be able to look back over time and see all the places you've been and all the places your friends have been. That will factor into gameplay in a fun way.
The idea of exploration to contain escaped monsters sounds like a fun idea. But once they are contained, the game would either end abruptly, or continue forever with no end in sight. Which usually translates to: why bother playing?
There will be geography- and time-based sub-goals, such as gathering individual item sets, that can be completed. There is also a plan for 'mega-invasions' where you will have specific bosses to take down and get special badges for doing so. Your friends will be very helpful for those events, which are all special and time-based.
The key game element which makes this cool is that different regions spawn different monsters. For example, in Seattle there might be a lot of slime monsters, and Fire monsters might be rare. In Phoenix this might be reversed. That means if you find a fire monster spawning ground in Seattle it is a valuable discovery and you want to share that location with your friends. The most important items you buy are things which extend your range, for example, roads and airlines. Traps are also interesting - if I rarely make it out to my parents house, for example, I can set a trap up there and collect when I do visit - or have a friend down there collect for me.
The combat is simple - each monster has behaviors that make it a different challenge to catch, for example, slime monsters leave a trail you want to avoid. But this isn't a game about combat, so the combat isn't complex or time consuming. There will be exceptions - there will be boss monsters that are tougher, and mega monsters that require friends to help take down.

Playing against the Knicks requires the 7th-seeded Celtics to continually pick their poison. Boston is endowed with neither great size nor quickness, so they know that if they play each matchup straight up, they are bound to lose.
Their style is physical to begin with -- every screen involving Kevin Garnett is a wrestling match -- but in this series, they seem to have accepted that making the Knicks earn their points from the free throw line is the most palatable option.
In Game 4, the Celtics were able to eek out a win and keep the series alive despite the lingering concern of foul trouble for four of their top guys.
Brandon Bass, who will be credited with making life difficult on Anthony, fouled out with four and a half minutes left. Paul Pierce and Jeff Green played 98 minutes between them (more on that in a minute) and had five fouls apiece. Garnett had four, but his were perhaps the most nagging because he picked up his third with 6:45 left in the second quarter and his fourth just two minutes into the third.
Because of the tireless work of Tyson Chandler on the glass and Carmelo Anthony slashing to the hoop, Doc Rivers had to constantly gameplan to preserve his players. The Knicks would earn 28 free throws on the afternoon, 20 of which were by Anthony.
In a game that the Celtics led by 20 and eventually went to overtime, the constant clock stoppages and easy opportunities contributed to the Knicks comeback.
We'll see what happens in Game 5, but judging by the first four, you'd have to think that Boston has accepted the consequences of using the stronger, but slower, Bass on Melo. The strategy worked on Sunday -- Anthony had to take 35 shots for his 36 points and the Celts were able to squeak out a win.
Don't expect too much to change tomorrow. Boston dodged a bullet with their main guys logging minutes and they didn't get burned from the line. But the Knicks will keep attacking, so the pressure will be on to do it again.
