Next week, French lawmakers are expected to pass a bill under which sexual harassment will be considered a criminal offense, carrying a punishment of two years in jail and a find of 30,000 euros (about $37,000). The French National Assembly approved the law last Wednesday by a unanimous vote.
The old law, which was modified in 2002, restricted sexual harassment to "obtaining favors of a sexual nature" and was punishable by one year in jail and a fine of about $18,500. But after a deputy mayor, who was convicted of sexually harassing three employees, claimed that the law was too vague, France's Constitutional Court threw it out in May. Afterwards, a number of sexual harassment cases were dismissed. The result was a "dangerous void," says Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, France's minister for women's rights, in the Guardian.
The new law indeed offers a more precise definition of sexual harassment as the New York Times explains:
"imposing on someone, in a repeated way, words or actions that have a sexual connotation" and either "affecting the person's dignity because of their degrading or humiliating nature" or putting him or her in an "intimidating, hostile or offensive situation."
In addition, the law will take into account all types of sexual harassment, in the workplace and elsewhere, be they jokes, innuendoes, gestures or "leaving a pornographic magazine on someone's desk," says the Guardian:
A victim will no longer have to prove that a harasser was trying to secure a sexual encounter. When there are clear demands for sex, such as someone demanding sex at a job interview or for a housing contract – examples of which have dominated recent French media coverage of the issue – a single incident can be enough to go to trial.
More serious offenses, including sexually harassing someone under 15 years old or individuals with physical disabilities can result in punishments of up to three years in jail and a $53,000 fine.
While some 1,000 sexual harassment cases are filed a year in France, few are brought to court — only about 80 led to sentences from 2005 to 2010.
Feminists Says the New Law Is Still Too Vague
The bill itself received support from both the left and the right and is being seen as "significant step toward women's rights in a country where sexism and gender inequalities often provide a fertile ground for sexual harassment," says the New York Times.
But feminist organizations assert that the laws needs to go farther. Marilyn Baldeck, of the feminist group the European Association Against Violence Toward Women at Work, said that she felt the new law is still too vague in its definition of "sexual connotation" and that it was pushed through too quickly. Asma Guenifi, president of Neither Prostitutes nor Doormats, has also expressed fears that the new law will not be "clear enough, protective enough or global enough."

Wow. That's kind of sad.
@Angie H: and if we are all mad as you put it, so what? The thing is, bullies don't always go away. Ask Anita Hill. Men and women can still flirt and laugh without it being seen was asking for sexual favours. As for PC, well, many people don't remember what it was like without it - a guy I know said to me not so long ago - 'before PC I could have called you spastic (I have CP) and got away with it', MY answer - 'I sympathise - before PC I could have punched you in the face for being so damn rude!'
Try evolving your own country first, maryam.
The rules against sexual harassment in the US are just a paper tiger anyway. It's virtually impossible to ever go up against someone no matter how much of a sexist bully he is.
can expect much from france, they still live in dark ages, not to mention they eat horse meat...come on france evolve!!
too vague
too vague
Still to vague: this is sad and sexist.

USO Video
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.–It's a safe place where they can laugh.
When most people hear about USO Caregivers Conferences, they don't
instantly think about a ballroom where smiles and laughter abound. And while Friday's event just north of Fort Carson touched on several heavy topics, it also focused on how caregivers
need to take time for themselves while caring for their wounded warriors.
In the video below, Justin Larsen – an Afghanistan War
veteran, Elizabeth Dole Foundation Fellow and a caregiver to his wife, Joy – talks
about the value of the conference.

PERRY COUNTY - Faced with a sagging economy and financial uncertainties, Perry Countians remained generous in reaching out to their communities through the United Way of Perry County. Donations totaling $105,000 were made last fall, allowing United Way to fund 19 local programs to the tune of $66,000. Health and human-service organizations will receive another $3,000, bringing the community investment to $69,000.
HAWESVILLE, Ky. - Two angels on his shoulders and those in the form of emergency medical technicians, police officers, firefighters and more are who Chad Preston and his family credit with saving his life.
On April 20, Preston and his brother, Steve, were involved in a four-vehicle accident at the intersection of Indiana 66 and Washington streets in Tell City. Two people died in the collision.
TELL CITY - The Tell City-Perry County Public Library will advertise its budget in August, three weeks earlier than normal.
At last month's library board meeting, Director Larry Oathout told board members the advertising deadline for 2010 budgets may be moved up, and if it was they should look for a budget. The 2010 budget is $996,509, up 1.5 percent from last year, he told members.
TELL CITY — Mayor Barbara Ewing's interview by Micah Schweizer and Jessica Naudziunas of radio station WNIN will air this week on WNIN 88.3 FM.
The interview was part of a five-part weeklong Tri-State Health Series.
Ewing and Rebecca Fenn, Perry County's greenway coordinator, met the radio interviewers at the Windy Creek Trail June 13 to discuss the wellness initiatives taking place in the area.
ROME - The Sunday in the Park band with Rita Phillips, Mike and Kasha Phillips, Ray Harpenau, Ted and Jean Harpenau, Ray Thomas and Jerry Swift, will perform at 1:30 p.m. Sunday on the lawn of the Rome Courthouse.
Concessions will be available, as will sandwiches and drinks.
TELL CITY - Catholic Charities and the Tell City-Perry County Public Library are joining hands to help local residents file for unemployment benefits via computer. Volunteers will be in the library's conference room from 9 a.m. to noon Mondays. Volunteers will have laptops to walk people through the online forms.
TELL CITY - The Tell City Regional Arts Association will host its annual art show during Schweizer Fest, Aug. 7-8, on the second floor art gallery at City Hall.
The association will also host summer art workshops again this year. Dates are July 14, 16, 21, 23, 28 and 30. Times are 9:30 to 11 a.m. The workshops are open to students going into first through ninth grades. This year's theme is recycled art made from manmade or natural materials. Art will be exhibited during Schweizer Fest. Sign-up sheets are at City Hall and the Tell City-Perry County Public Library.
Indiana just avoided a state government shutdown after longer than usual budget negotiations prompted by the state's now taking in less tax revenue than in recent years.
And our federal government is running up record budget deficits to try to get the economy going again.
But one idea recently suggested by Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Doug Shulman could help federal and state governments collect more tax revenues regardless of the state of the economy.
I'm not going to weigh in on today's front-page story on the apparent proposal to combine the duties of administrative assistants to county commissioners and the office of planning and zoning.
Commissioners will take up that issue this evening, but one of the topics raised during Wednesday evening's meeting of the plan commission is worth my two cents: that of how positions with the county are advertised and filled.
It's hard to focus on positives with so many negative events going on in our world. Many people are frightened about our future, but I would like to extend a special invitation to all Perry County residents to come to the 4-H fair (July 12-19) to grasp a glimpse into an optimistic future.
Perry County 4-H has many kids who are changing the world in a positive way and the 4-H fair is a time for the public to see what 4-H'ers are doing. It is an exciting time for youth to show off what they've learned in the past year, but they work on their 4-H projects year round.

The Rise of Price Management
The previous note, The Case for Price Management, dealt with explaining the inadequacy of glorified price and discount list capabilities coming from traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) and accounting back-office systems.
Given the prospective upsurge of pricing solutions demand, and the fact that an increased focus on change management often leads to better results, many professional services firms have begun to focus on price management. For example, Deloitte Consulting, anticipating a pertinent need, relatively recently launched the Pricing Center of Excellence, which is based on several years of experience delivering price and profit management projects. To that end, the practice has developed a detailed price management implementation methodology; created tools to streamline implementations; and included many vertical industry teams from across the company (from such sectors as the automotive, retail/consumer products, financial services, process manufacturing, and high-tech/electronics industries).
Depending on the pricing problem the company is trying to solve, there might be different pricing processes and software categories, such as:
For example, according to AMR Research, the price execution category is designed to control (or altogether curb) maverick selling practices, and to obtain insight and feedback from the field. This is the process used to capture pricing, most often in tables and spreadsheets, and then distribute that information as predetermined pricing to salespeople, for deal structuring support. In other words, price execution is the process through which prices are delivered and communicated to salespeople and buyers, whereas price enforcement involves the adequacy of the processes and tools (such as workflow management) supporting deal negotiation and contract compliance. Another related term on the execution side is price visibility: once users set a better price and understand how it performs, they want to put this into action and enforce it in the downstream components of the value chain. This execution and enforcement aspect of pricing has been particularly embraced by chemical producers.
Price optimization is the process through which the best prices are determined, based on multiple demand-side variables and market factors. Some of these factors are quantifiable (such as the inventory situation) and some are not (such as competitor moves or seasonality), which makes building pricing models a difficult process. Optimization looks at the profit-critical variables of the business, and advises management on how these variables can be changed to achieve greater total profitability.
In every business, many variables control or impact profitability. Some variables are obvious (such as selling prices), while others are not so obvious (for example, queue time in a production facility). Since these variables are interrelated, the best solution considers the variables within a holistic view of the business, so that over-adjusting some variables does not negatively impact others. As in the airline industry, the best price solutions monitor the situation in real time, to get the information necessary for making quick decisions. These applications are typically a set of equations and parameters, and are used to decide what is (or is not) an acceptable price, given the customer and the circumstances.
This comes in handy typically when the product is being rushed to the market (such as in the high-tech industry, with its ever shorter product life spans; or in retail, where seasonality changes pricing). If customers are very price-sensitive, then an optimization strategy may be quite effective, and will support improved forecasting and price setting. In the retail and high-tech industries in particular, this can enable user enterprises to pursue a proactive demand management strategy, by linking demand and pricing more closely. However, consumer price tracking is fairly easy, compared to the severe challenge of compiling data across production lines, or of tracking multiple channels and a diverse customer base.
Thus, vendor approaches vary both in the types of information they consider, and in how they use that information. There are vendors who concentrate on high fixed-cost and asset-intensive industries (the chemical, paper, and metals industries, for example), and who focus on asset utilization and constraint variables such as product changeovers and maintenance breaks. There are also vendors who focus on enabling retail to do more with merchandizing variables such as product mix, discounting and promotions, seasonal issues, and so on. Specifically, a retailer might need to understand the impact of markdowns; or a consumer packaged goods (CPG) company typically might need to understand the impact of promotion and new product introduction on demand, in order to optimize profits.
Finally, pricing management provides logic to help with pricing negotiations, in the cases where prices are negotiated rather than set. This provides an opportunity to drive margins based on real-time information from the field rather than on guesses.
But to further cloud the realm of pricing, a complete business-to-business (B2B) pricing system poses large-scale strategic, tactical, and execution level questions that should eventually be answere. Strategic, or industry price level questions, should help managers understand how supply, demand, costs, regulations, and other high-level factors interact to affect overall prices. Companies that excel at this level avoid unnecessary downward pressure on prices, and often emerge as industry price leaders and market share leaders.
The tactical, or product/market strategy level questions, entail determining the right price for the right customer of a product or service, relative to the competition. With the knowledge of how customers perceive all market offerings, and of which product and service attributes drive purchase decisions, companies can set visible list prices that accurately reflect the competitive strengths and weaknesses of their offering.
The execution, or transaction level questions, described in part one of this series, aim at deciding the exact price of each transaction, starting with the list price, and ending by determining which price waterfall factors are applicable. For most businesses, determining how to process these questions through billing and payment systems, and how to perform order management tasks related to that, is the most detailed, time-consuming, systems-intensive task involved in gaining a price advantage.
This is Part Two of the series The Case for Price Management.
Price Management Now a Priority
Price management has landed at the top of the agenda in executives' drive to improve profit margins. More and more companies are pursuing profitable growth strategies, and pricing is one of the last untapped levers for bringing these strategies to life. Having emerged from several years of low growth (and even decline), and facing intense pressure from both competitors and customers, many companies have realized that profitable growth requires a different approach to pricing.
First, as seen earlier in this series, one has to move beyond a mere list price to the price waterfall (a detailed picture of every element of pricing and terms of sale), in order to determine the ultimate profitability of every product, customer, and transaction. Only then can enterprises set prices and policies that meet their profit objectives. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, the sales force should be equipped with the information and flexibility necessary for negotiating savvy, tailored, personalized proposals that meet the needs and targets of both parties.
In addition to price execution and enforcement capabilities (in the short term), and pricing optimization capabilities (in the long term), all based on customer segmentation, chemical companies have a complex set of price management requirements, such as the ability to manage pricing decisions for both commodity and specialty products and services. Often the customer who pays the highest price per product unit is not necessarily the most profitable for the chemical supplier (for instance, they might not pay for specific services, or might be receiving generous rebates). Specialist producers might want some algorithmic help in creating price strategies that support the commoditization of their specialty products. Both commodity and specialist chemical producers need decision support and negotiation abilities for contracts and spot deals, in light of the challenges and opportunities presented by raw material price volatility. Thus, asset optimization often has to be based on profitability, rather than on traditional plant utilization only.
As hinted earlier, pricing and profit optimization in retail are analytic applications which analyze demand patterns and optimize pricing for each stock-keeping unit (SKU) by selling location, in order to optimize revenue and gross margins. The goal is to adjust prices downward in areas where consumers are price sensitive, in order to increase volume, while raising or maintaining prices where consumers are not price-sensitive, in order to maximize margin. Yet, deciding which SKU in which store location is in which category is not a small exercise, and it is certainly not very intuitive. In the past, such decisions were made by experienced retail buyers, who would scrutinize volumes sales data and rely on their "sixth sense." Furthermore, with a typical large retailer managing thousands of SKUs over several dozens of stores, an expert buyer can only deal with a fraction of the pricing decisions that need to be made in order to maximize revenue. The imperative to respond more efficiently to constantly evolving customer requirements is driving retailers away from clairvoyant human buyers, or investment in expensive in-house development, towards standardized software. Flexible and integrated demand intelligence will thus be a key element of a broad retail offering which supports an efficient response to customer demand.
User Recommendations
In general, almost every company could benefit from pricing solutions and improved pricing practices, and should approach the management of selling prices and price increase with the same rigor they use to curb upstream supply chain and manufacturing costs. As mentioned earlier, price management on its own might improve revenue (by a few percent) and gross margin (by umpteen percentage points), but truly amazing benefits generally come only when price management is integrated with appropriate cost information and demand management.
Companies that can shape demand through price changes should focus on a combination of price optimization and price enforcement, whereas other companies might want to start first with price enforcement. Thus, avant-garde companies are turning their focus toward price management, and their direct competitors are feeling the pressure to embark on their own pricing management deployments. To show whether such a solution is needed, the litmus test would be to ascertain how long it takes to process a special pricing request (to determine how convoluted a pricing approval workflow is), to see how long it takes for salespeople to inquire about, look up, and communicate prices.
As price management is an emerging and highly fragmented space, selecting vendors based on their viability is not currently possible, since the space will experience consolidation. Thus, projects which appeal by virtue of proven payback and proof of concept are advised, with on-demand deployment where possible. Since price execution functionality (price list management, discount management, price configuration, etc.) is delivered through ERP functions and data, it is essential that the selected price management product be easily integrated with tools such as master data management (MDM), so as to achieve immaculate order-to-cash execution processes.
In reality, not all businesses are ready to benefit from profit/pricing optimization, but all these optimization products and services are driven by information coming from the users' existing systems, or by information that can be generated economically. Pricing/profit optimization is not magic; it starts with concrete information, and if users do not have the right information, they will not get the right results. Typically, a few years of data history is needed to "prime" the system (meaning lots of data capturing, quality testing, and interaction with the vendor). But some companies will still suffer from the data they do not have, which brings us back to the need to balance pricing with demand management and consumer research (to determine, for example, whether the consumers already feel cheated and resentful about the last price hike).
This concludes the series The Case for Price Management.

Twenty-four touchdowns were scored in the NFL's conference semifinals last weekend. Nine of the 24 were scored by players we erroneously call tight ends. Same number as wide receivers.
Welcome to the newest trend in football: Tight ends as weapons, difference-makers
49er tight end Vernon Davis scored the first and last touchdown in a 36-32 victory over the Saints, about as good of a football game as you'll ever behold. New Orleans' Jimmy Graham had two touchdown catches himself. Both tight ends had more than 100 yards receiving.
And neither was the tight end star of the weekend. The Patriots' Rob Gronkowski, who plays just like his name sounds, big and mean, had 10 catches, 145 yards and three touchdowns in a 45-10 rout of Denver.
Welcome to the newest gridiron trend. Tight ends as weapons. Tight ends as difference-makers. Tight ends as more than just a safety valve.
"I think it's a tough thing for defenses to handle," said NFL tight end Billy Bajema, who played at OSU and Westmoore High School. "A lot of teams, if they've got a tight end they feel like can be a good weapon, they're using 'em."
Bajema is not one of the new-breed tight ends. Bajema is a 259-pound blocking specialist; he has 38 career catches in seven seasons with the 49ers (2005-08) and Rams (2009-11).
But more and more, his tight end brothers are being called on to catch, not block.
"That's the way the game has evolved, especially in the NFL," said OSU offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who spent 2007-10 as the receivers coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. "More of an athletic, receiving tight end. Then try to hold his own on blocking the edge."
The game has changed on the defensive side, too. Those players on the edge, rush ends and outside linebackers, are not 300-pound monsters. They are athletic guys themselves.
"Sometimes," said Monken, "the mismatch is not as much as you think."
* * *
The mismatch comes when the ball is in the air. Gronkowski is the poster boy for the new-fad tight end: 6-foot-6, 265 pounds, 4.65 speed in the 40-yard dash. Hands that seem bigger than a football helmet.
Gronkowski had 90 catches in the regular season, for 1,327 yards and 17 touchdowns.
But Gronkowski is not a pioneer. The NFL long has had tight ends who were primo weapons. Mike Ditka and John Mackey in the '60s, Charlie Sanders and Dave Casper in the '70s, Kellen Winslow and Ozzie Newsome in the '80s, Shannon Sharpe and Keith Jackson in the '90s, Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates in the 2000s.
"You can go way back with tight ends," said former OSU head coach Pat Jones, who coached tight ends with the Miami Dolphins from 1996-2003. "Keith (Jackson) was as much as a weapon as these guys." For reference, remember Jackson's vaunted end-arounds playing for Barry Switzer's Sooners.
But the difference is, the Patriots have two tight end weapons. Aaron Hernandez, at 6-1, 245, not quite the behemoth as Gronkowski, has 79 catches for 910 yards and seven touchdowns. In the playoff win over Denver, the Patriots even used Hernandez in the backfield; he led New England with 61 yards rushing on five carries.
"What they're doing that's so unique," Jones said, "they've got so many things going with Gronkowski, Hernandez, two wideouts and one back. You really get some interesting stuff there."
The Patriots will play one of the tight ends tight with the other in the slot or split out. Or both split out. Or both in the slot. Or any combination thereof, with one going in motion.
"People don't know how to match up with 'em," Jones said. "Do you put a big safety on one of 'em? Then you split the guy out, and he can outrun you. Or do you put a smaller corner on him, and they line him up in a tight look, and they outmuscle you."

There are many medications for hepatitis B including entecavir, lamivudine, adefovir, telbivudine, and pegylated interferon.
These medications are good at suppressing virus.
You will need to talk to your doctor about whether you necessarily need treatment - not everyone does.

Aaron Gordon COUNTDOWN!!--- 11 weeks away
He has to show up in June. And has to do other stuff, beforehand.
Washington at the bottom of the PAC12.
kentucky stinking it up. And next year, they are going to be horrible again.
(they go off HYPE rankings. Not player evaluations....WWW is not helping.)
Heard, AG1 was asking for some Gator meat!
He hungry?
A little taste...
Aaron Gordon CountDown - Week #11:
The latest in the UW TRICK_Life:
UW said yesterday, the team can start the PAC12 at 0-4 and still be a factor for the championship.
UW may even go 0-5 ,starting with UConn.
With statements like that, it make everyone look bad. We call it the Trick_Life.
UW may promises about being a very good team...All Hype.
Turn outs, it was just double talk.
Hype Talk leads to the Trick_Life.
Also, UW doesnt even play any Pac-12 opponent until AFTER the UConn game... so even if UConn is magically part of the Pac-12 now, they would at worse be 0-1 .
Seriously Moraga, WHY IS THIS IDIOT ALLOWED TO STILL POST HERE?
If you have had your fill of TheRise, put him on ignore. Many enjoy him.
The Aaron Gordon decision is about done.
When moms talks, it almost over.
Its kind of become the premier program in the West, said Aarons mother, Shelly Davis Gordon.
Sean Miller is an up-and-coming coach. What you see is what you get with him, and Aaron likes that.
One has to keep it REAL.
If you about the hype, then, you on that Trick_Life.
@The_Rise_ .... Washington continues its UGLY BALL.
Washington won but, everyone in Seattle is upset.
"There werent many positives for the Huskies. They improved to 8-4, but a win against a team with a 326 RPI rated team."
(the last place team in RPI rankings. Great scheduling....smh)
"UW forwards Desmond Simmons, Shawn Kemp Jr. and Jernard Jarreau struggled from close range. They combined to make 1 of 12 shots. "
NO BIGS at UDub...Missed 2 foot jumpers. Really!
"And Andrew Andrews still has been unable to find the shooting stroke. He was 1 for 6".
More guards are needed at UW.
UW shot 31% from the field......UGLY
Note- quotes from PercyAllen
Aaron Gordon has less than 10 weeks before his decision timeline elapses.
But, he does not need all this time.
Looks like he will be going down south.
Joining his other friends with the Run&Gun.
With the addition of AG1, that is looking like the No1 recruiting class.
Yes, Romar was talked to and received a written warning by Scott.
Things are going crazy in UDub.
Everyone should expect a decision sooner...
I was shocked that AG1 has lost 3 games.
Great bounce back from that Portlan lose. (3-14FT)
No need in waiting. Time to get ready for June and Showing Up.
This thing is over......Come on, no one is a fool.
washington looked horrible.
Heck, both teams looked horrible. Uconn is a joke as well.
kensucky is losing to all Top50 teams.
They haven't beaten anybody.
They wont make the tournament.
Is Rise a brain? A spleen?
Aaron Gordon has been in a few over time games.
He knows that OT means ,get your ISH tight or you will get blown out.
This is what happened to Buffs.
The best team won.
Buffs only plays with 4 players. (over 35min/game...)
Tab tried MickeyMouse offense. Completely changing everything: went from Run&Gun to SLOW DOWN. Buffs did not want to get blown out like kansas.
Scared Ball win's No Game!
If and when Gordon decides to go to Arizona ... will this poster go away???

Mercury man Jeremy Piven's got a hot date...with an arbitrator.
The powers that be behind the Broadway production of Speed-the-Plow announced today that an arbitration hearing will take place June 8 and 9 to decide whether the Entourage star violated his contract when he abruptly quit the play over concerns of mercury poisoning from eating too much fish.
Piven, 43, has insisted he was only acting under doctors' orders when he departed to detox in December at the height of the holiday season.
But that excuse didn't fly with producers and playwright David Mamet, who quipped that Piven was pursuing "a career as a thermometer."
The Plow brain trust later filed a grievance with the union to penalize the Emmy winner, resulting in the matter being brought before arbitrator George Nicolau.
The producers said today they have requested "a wide range of relevant information" from Piven's camp, including "medical records and documentation of Mr. Piven's activities both during and after the run of the show."
The producers say that due to its sensitive nature, all such info will be subject to a strict confidentiality agreement.

(ArmyTimes.com) - Kellie Trombitas fought through surgery and two rounds of chemotherapy for 10 long, difficult months before she was declared cancer-free Dec. 21.
But one thought always lingers in her mind.
"I hope it never comes back," said Trombitas, the wife of Maj. Gen. Simeon Trombitas, commanding general of Army South at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. "That's always on our minds. Thinking about doing all of this again is sometimes too much."
Trombitas volunteered to join a worldwide clinical trial - being conducted by her doctor among others - for a breast cancer vaccine that could erase her fears for good. On Jan. 19, she became the first patient in the study, which is still looking for other volunteers.
Developed by Col. (Dr.) George Peoples, chief of surgical oncology at the San Antonio Military Medical Center, NeuVax is a vaccine that targets breast cancer patients who have been treated and are in remission. Its goal is to reduce or eliminate the risk of the cancer recurring.
Peoples, who also is the director of and principal investigator for the hospital's Cancer Vaccine Development Program, has worked on this vaccine, which carries the generic name E75, since the early 1990s.
The trial is the final step before Food and Drug Administration approval. It is being conducted by Galena Biopharma, a Portland, Ore.-based biopharmaceutical company, because of its size, scope and cost.
At least 700 participants will be needed for the three-year trial, to be conducted at 70 to 80 locations across the country and around the world, Peoples said. He already has conducted two trials on the drug, with promising results, he said.
Typically, if cancer were to recur, it would happen within two to five years, Peoples said.
During the most recent trial, which had 200 participants, about 20 percent of patients in the control group had a recurrence of cancer, which is consistent with historical norms and data, Peoples said. Among those who received the vaccine, the recurrence rate was cut in half, he said.
Peoples said he hopes this latest trial will produce even better results than his previous trial.
"We learned how to more properly dose the vaccine and the need for long-term boosting," he said. "Among the women who were optimally dosed and boosted [in the last trial], we only had a single woman recur."
Participants in the Galena-run trial will receive a shot once a month for the first six months and then a booster shot every six months for the rest of the three-year trial, Peoples said. It will take the company about 18 months to enroll all 700 patients.
"They're looking for the number of recurrences," Peoples said. "The highest risk of recurrence is in the first two to three years. The end point [Galena] and the FDA decided on was the recurrence rate at the end of three years. Hopefully, we'll see a much lower recurrence rate among the vaccine patients compared to the control group."
Peoples also is looking to conduct a trial that combines Herceptin, a drug approved for use in fighting breast cancer, with NeuVax.
If NeuVax succeeds, Peoples sees potential for it to be used in treating other types of cancer; the protein it targets, HER2/neu, is present in many types of cancer, including lung, prostate, colon and ovarian cancers, he said.
The field of cancer vaccines has been "one of those areas of promise for many, many years with a lot of failures and disappointments along the way," Peoples said. The first cancer vaccine was approved by the FDA in 2010 for prostate cancer, and another drug was approved in 2011 for melanoma, he said.
"There's been a huge amount of interest building in this area because we have now our first two FDA-approved products, and we'd be the next in line, if you will, to have a product that could be approved by the FDA as a vaccine," he said. It's gratifying, Peoples said, to see his years of research make it this far and show such promise.
"If we prove the concept in this group of women, then that would spur on the research to find even better vaccines that are more affable to the wider range of breast cancer patients," he said. "And if we show this works in breast cancer, we could, in fact, test in other cancers. It holds a lot of promise. If this trial works out, not only would it work for breast cancer, but it could open the doorway for these other cancers, as well."
Trombitas, who doesn't know if she received the vaccine or is in the control group, said she is excited about the possibilities stemming from this vaccine.
"I think it is wonderful how things are changing, and there are all kinds of treatment for cancer," she said. "That's how you move forward. You want to do everything you can to prevent it from coming back. I'm very excited about it, regardless of the outcome. I can't wait to see what happens with this in the future."

This photo is taken at the "Veerse Meer", a lake near the coast of Holland. The children are catching krukels, I don't know the English word for it. They are little snail like creatures. I used soft pastels for the background.
Very nice, lots of action.
I love the composition, and the subtle colors you chose to render it in.

Possessing a versatile inside-out game, Stonewall Jackson rising senior Sydney Jordan compelled college coaches to covet her skills on the basketball floor. The 6-foot Jordan is fully capable of running the offense from the point guard position, and she rebounds the ball at a high rate (9.9 per game for the Raiders last season).
That versatility led to offers from Princeton, Harvard, Richmond, William and Mary, Charlotte, James Madison and Winthrop.On Sunday, she chose Princeton as the school to further her basketball career upon her graduation.
"It seemed like the perfect for me with the academics and basketball," Jordan said. "It's one of the best schools in the Ivy League."
Jordan visited all of the aforementioned schools, but the vibe she got from Princeton's New Jersey campus wasn't akin to any of her other stops. During her April trip to Princeton, she had dinner with the coaching staff and spent a majority of the time with her future teammates off campus.
"As soon as i got there, I felt at home," Jordan said. "The coaching staff was welcoming, and they seemed to really care about student-athletes. I liked the feel of the campus."
For her final AAU summer Jordan played with the 17U Fairfax Stars team in the ultra competitive Nike Girls' Elite Youth Basketball League. The Fairfax Stars went 8-2 in the EYBL regular season, before falling in pool play at the Nike Nationals in North Augusta, S.C.
When she wasn't with the Fairfax Stars, Jordan knocked down 300 jump shots a day to prepare for a larger role for the Virginia 6A finalist Raiders. Stonewall Jackson will be without two-time All-Met Nicole Floyd (23.6 points per game), who is now at Wake Forest.
Jordan said she is expected to be featured more on the wing this season, and in the post. Rising junior Genesis Parker is likely to handle more duties as the floor general for a team that is seeking its fourth Siegel Center appearance in five years.
With her commitment behind her, Jordan's sole focus will be on the Raiders push for the state title that has eluded the perennial Prince William power.
"It's a huge relief not having to worry about my commitment," Jordan said. "I can really focus on improving my game and my final high school season."

Taribo West has launched a scathing attack on Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo over his outburst against coach Stephen Keshi on Tuesday.
Yobo, who was excluded from the March 23 World Cup qualifying game against the Harambee Stars of Kenya in Calabar, told Lagos sports radio Brila FM that he was disappointed that Keshi did not consider it necessary to inform him about his decision to drop him from the game that ended 1-1.
"I'm disappointed nobody called me before the team list was announced. It's disrespectful. I feel disrespected," Yobo said.
But former Inter Milan and AC Milan strongman Taribo berated the Fenerbahce defender for his outburst, saying it was "immature and uncalled for".
"Football is a generational thing and Yobo should know this," the Atlanta '96 Olympic gold medallist told our correspondent on the telephone during the week.
"He has served the nation very well and he deserves commendation for this. But he should be grateful to Keshi for giving him the opportunity to win the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa and getting more international caps.
"Keshi was severely criticised for naming him for the tournament, but he stuck with Yobo.
"In spite of the fact that Godfrey Oboabona and Kenneth Omeruo were playing very well during the competition, Keshi still played him.
"I think Keshi did this to honour him and he should appreciate his effort."
The former Partizan Belgrade star rejected Yobo's claim that one of Keshi's assistants is intimidated by his achievements with the national team. Keshi's assistants consist of Nigeria '80 Africa Cup of Nations winner Sylvanus Okpala, Tunisia '94 AFCON winner Daniel Amokachi and ex-Eagles goalkeeper Ike Shorunmu.
Taribo said, "Nobody is jealous of Yobo's achievements. The assistant coaches have also won medals for the country.
"Yobo should cooperate with the coaches to achieve more for the country."
Keshi, who expressed his disappointment in Yobo's outburst, insisted that none of his assistants was envious of the former Everton defender's achievements.
"The coaches on the bench have also won the Africa Cup of Nations and there's no point for him thinking that way," the Tunisia '94 winner said.
Yobo is the most capped Nigeria player after playing 94 times for the country.

Whatever is sinfully calculated to arouse sexual pleasure in a person. The nature of the object that arouse the pleasure is immaterial. What is essential is the wrong intent of someone who presents, produces, or depicts something that experience shows will arouse sexual pleasure. The intention is wrong because its purpose is to unnecessarily provoke sexual pleasure outside the privileges of marriage. And the object of the intention is the person, of whatever age, whose sexual desires are inevitably excited by the obscene stimulus. (Etym. Latin obscaentias, offensiveness, filthiness.)

State Champs
Sharpsburg, NYAA teams win titles
Coweta's boys of summer are certainly racking up the hardware on the baseball diamond.
It was quite the weekend for All-Star lineups representing the Newnan Youth Athletic Association and the Sharpsburg Youth Baseball league.
Sharpsburg teams claimed a pair of AABC State Championships by the 8-under Braves and the 10-under Angels in action at Sandtown Park in Atlanta. The Braves went undefeated in their tournament to cap off a 20-0 record while the Angels went 5-1 last weekend.
The Angels, led by manager Mike Furbush and coach Kevin Lewis, picked up two wins against the undefeated Gresham Park Angels on the final day while also beating teams from Butts, Welcome All and Sharpsburg. The 10-under Angels capped off its championship with a convincing 11-1 win over Gresham Park after defeating the team 8-4 in Sunday's first meeting.
The Braves, coached by Bryan Alewine and assistants Steve McDonald and Aron McClennan, won four consecutive games to win the tournament. The team started and ended its run to the trophy with victories over the host Sandhill White Sox, including a 9-3 effort in the championship game.
The Braves outscored their opponents 43-16 over four consecutive victories after earning a bye into the second round.
The NYAA also claimed a championship of its own in last weekend's USSSA All-Star Tournaments after its 8-under All-Stars went 4-1 at Coley Park in Hampton en route to its title.
The NYAA's 8-under All-Stars, coached by Chris Waddell and assistants Previn Blalock, Chris Lynn, David Monk and Scott Thigpen, defeated Tyrone 8-5 in Sunday's championship game in thrilling fashion when Garrett McGee broke a tie with a three-run walkoff homer to left-center field.
Led by great defense and timely hits, Newnan's stars outscored its opponents by an average margin of 12-6 between USSSA substate and state tournaments.
Tyrone, which defeated the Hopewell Dirt Dogs 16-7 in its first game Sunday to move into the championship bracket, forced a deciding game against Newnan with a 10-1 win.
In the final contest between teams, Newnan grabbed an early lead on hits by Ben Hollenbeck and JD Monk, only to see it vanish in the final inning with a two-run go-ahead homer.
But the NYAA stars rallied for five unanswered runs capped off by Grant Thigpen's blast to left-center that initially tied the game.
After another key hit by Nathan Alford, a sacrifice by Jayce Blalock was able to move the winning run into scoring position at second base. Tyrone then elected to intentionally walk Bryan Ellis to set the stage for McGee's at-bat.
Newnan also relied heavily throughout the entire tournament on the defense provided by shortstop Jacob Waddell and third baseman Cam Barnes, who continually made big outs in the infield to keep Newnan in some very close games.
Catcher ZJ McCrary also had a defensive impact for Newnan, blocking the plate and making three outs at home to save runs from scoring in the tournament.
Three NYAA All-Star teams were in action last weekend, including its 6-under All-Stars at the Temple Avenue Recreation Complex.
The 6-under stars finished as state runners-up while dropping its only two losses to Pike County.
Newnan kept its championship hopes alive in the double-elimination tournament with a 15-7 victory over Locust Grove Mayhem to reach the finals. The team won six straight games between the substate and state tournaments prior to its first loss to Pike County.

Enable SA Account in SQL Server
I found this link useful as I forgot to configure the "sa" Account when installing the SQL Server. He has elegantly explained with screen shots on how to enable the "sa" account in SQL Server.
Enjoy reading…
eg. http://www.yourapp.com/GOODCUSTOMERNAME
Usually in MVC you have to define your route table, but to have a dynamic route table based on your customer names is not that easy. That is where the custom route handler comes in to play.
We pass all the calls through our CustomRouteHandler.
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
var b = new {controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional, area = ""};
routes.Add("Default", new Route("{controller}/{action}/{id}", new RouteValueDictionary(b),
new CustomRouteHandler()));
Note: MyService is one of my business layer service to resolve the URLs. And I will send the resolved value to "Home/Index" with a parameter name called "name". Cool! I have only one value to resolve.
public class CustomRouteHandler : MvcRouteHandler
protected override IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext)
string customerName= string.Empty;
var controller = requestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString().Replace("-", "_");
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(controller))
controller = "Home";
// The initial call sometimes does not carry the controller name
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(controller))
customerName = controller;
var s = MyService.ResolveUrl(customerName);
if (s == null) // CANNOT RESOLVE, LEAVE THE CONTROLLER NAME ALONE
customerName= string.Empty;
controller = "Home";
requestContext.RouteData.Values["name"] = customerName; //My Index method in HomeController is accepting a parameter called "name", that is the resolved customer name.
requestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"] = controller; //Update the Controller Name
var action = requestContext.RouteData.Values["action"].ToString().Replace("-", "_");
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(action))
action = "Index"; //The initial call sometimes does not carry the action name
//Since I don't have much to resolve in action name, I just pass the value. But if you have multiple resolution to the action (methods to refer), I think you can figure out how to change this code.
requestContext.RouteData.Values["action"] = action;
//At this moment you should have a correct/resolved values to the route data values, otherwise you will get a error page.
return base.GetHttpHandler(requestContext);
That is all, everything will be handled by the custom route handler. If you want more logics to resolve, just put them inside the handler.
Just keep in mind the actual controller classes must have a way to get the resolved values from the URL. Just like I have used the "name" parameter.
With this approach the URL entered in the browser would look more customer specific, and will not change, but the back end custom route handler resolve the URL for our app.
Pretty neat. eh!
I recently started working on a project which I decided to use nHibernate and springframework for .Net with MVC. Though I had experience working with the springframework with ASP.NET, applying MVC had its issues.
Few things that you should keep in mind is that MVC projects works only under Integrated Pipeline mode. But the basic configuration for Springframework supports both modes Classic mode or Integreated. This conflict occurred as when I tried to deploy the project.
In order to solve that matter I had to assign the preCondition attribute in handlers. Such as,
<system.webServer> <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/> <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"> <add name="Spring" type="Spring.Context.Support.WebSupportModule, Spring.Web" /> <add name="OpenSessionInView" type="Spring.Data.NHibernate.Support.OpenSessionInViewModule, Spring.Data.NHibernate32" /> <add name="SpringModule" type="Spring.Context.Support.WebSupportModule, Spring.Web"/> </modules> <handlers> <remove name="PageHandlerFactory"/> <remove name="ContextMonitor"/> <remove name="WebServiceHandlerFactory"/>
<add name="PageHandlerFactory" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="*.aspx" type="Spring.Web.Support.PageHandlerFactory, Spring.Web" /> <add name="ContextMonitor" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="ContextMonitor.ashx" type="Spring.Web.Support.ContextMonitor, Spring.Web" /> <add name="WebServiceHandlerFactory" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="*.asmx" type="Spring.Web.Services.WebServiceHandlerFactory, Spring.Web" /> </handlers> </system.webServer>
After adding the above code in the web.config, web site started working fine. I forgot to mention about how to configure pipeline in IIS.
Then I got this error,
No Hibernate Session bound to thread, and configuration does not allow creation of non-transactional one here
This is a very common error, but the main reason would be that, springframework can't detect the hibernate session.
I am telling this because I have a solution that have MVC Web Site and a windows application that uses the same data access library. All the configuration worked perfectly with the MVC after setting up as I have mentioned in the above of this post. But when it comes to the windows application it was throwing this error. Then I managed to get rid of it by specifying the "Transaction" attribute on the particular method that was called in the windows application.
I assume the reason behind this is windows applications are bound to maintain a dedicated session for the user, there's no multiple session handling.
With the below configuration in your data access config file, transaction is enabled.
NOTE: WORDPRESS DOES NOT ALLOW ENTERING "Object" elements in anyway, so I have change that to "hobject". when you use make sure to rename it back.
<hobject id="transactionManager" type="Spring.Data.NHibernate.HibernateTransactionManager, Spring.Data.NHibernate32"> <property name="DbProvider" ref="DbProvider"/> <property name="SessionFactory" ref="NHibernateSessionFactory"/> </hobject>
I assume you have the DbProvider and NHibernateSessionFactory objects defined. If not do as follows, Following is the DbProvider object, if you look at the database connection details they are passed as parameters using ${db.user} as an example. This way you get to change the db config details even after deployment, otherwise you will have to do a release, as the config data is in the compiled data-access-config.xml file. How this is done I have explain in this post.
<db:provider id="DbProvider" provider="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" connectionString="server=${db.datasource}; User Id=${db.user};database=${db.database};password=${db.password};Persist Security Info=True"/>
<hobject id="NHibernateSessionFactory" type="Spring.Data.NHibernate.LocalSessionFactoryObject, Spring.Data.NHibernate32"> <property name="DbProvider" ref="DbProvider"/> <property name="MappingAssemblies"> <list> <value>MyApp.DataAccess</value> </list> </property> <property name="HibernateProperties"> <dictionary> <entry key="hibernate.connection.provider" value="NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider"/> <entry key="dialect" value="NHibernate.Dialect.MySQLDialect"/> <entry key="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="NHibernate.Driver.MySqlDataDriver"/> <entry key="hibernate.current_session_context_class" value="Spring.Data.NHibernate.SpringSessionContext, Spring.Data.NHibernate32"/> <entry key="use_proxy_validator" value="false"/> <entry key="format.sql" value="true" /> <entry key="show_sql" value="true" /> </dictionary> </property> <property name="ExposeTransactionAwareSessionFactory" value="true" /> </hobject>
To support transaction in service layer add the following configuration in the service layer config.
Then add the [Transaction] attribute on the methods declaration where you want to enable transaction in the service layer. And make sure that you use CurrentSession.Flush() method at the end of those methods to commit all changes to the database.
Happy coding!!!
(I am tired now 2 posts at a stretch ;-))
I am going to explain a feature that will definitely come in handy in configuration files. Its about the NameValueSectionHandler.
Add the following section to the <configsections> in your web.config file.

Now you get your own section with the name of databaseSettings.
<databaseSettings> <add key="db.datasource" value="myservername" /> <add key="db.user" value="root" /> <add key="db.password" value="******" /> <add key="db.database" value="Databasename" /> </databaseSettings>
What happen here is making these key value pairs accessible in another config file. Same thing as AppSettings section except that AppSettings are been used in the application code itself, and this databaseSettings section I am going to use in another config file.
I am using springframework, so in my DataAccess layer I have a database-config.xml file, and that is the place where database configuration sections are available. If I had just placed the config values in the xml itself then it would be compiled at the time of deployment, and will not let me update later, unless I do a new release/compiled code.
With the help of above approach, I am able to do as follows,
<db:provider id="DbProvider" provider="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"
connectionString="server=${db.datasource};User Id=${db.user}; database=${db.database}; password=${db.password}; Persist Security Info=True"/>
Now I have nothing to worry, the db configuration section is in the xml file and values are in the web.config file.
Syntax in accessing the variable is ${ PARAMNAME }
Happy coding!!!
I had a grid view with the DataSourceId property is set to a SqlDataSource control. Also it have a RowDataBound event bounded to have custom data formatting. Then I noticed that the RowDataBound is getting fired twice, as if it binding data twice.
The reason for that behavior I figured out after some hours of debugging. The reason was I have some code that set the column headers which assign language specific header titles on Page_Load() event. When you alter the column specific properties after data binding through a Data Source control, it always tries to get the data set again from the source. But this happen only when there is a change in the newly assigned data.
Because I had some pages doing the same thing, but they were not having this issue. Then I realized that if the newly assigned data differs from what exists in the GridView, only then it tries to call for another data fetch.
This won't happen if you had created the data set separately, and assign it into the DataSource property.
Hope I have saved someones time.
As you are aware of the mouse click events, it actually triggers multiple events in the process of a one single click.
Some explanation can be taken from here.
If you find a situation where you have to use the CLICK event and DOUBLE CLICK event on the same control. Then you will see onclick event get fired twice and then afterward double click event is fired. Most of the time people demand such functionality on data grids or tables for Row Level (aka.
 tags) event handling/behaviors.
Jquery site also explain that it is inadvisable to bind both handlers but world demands much more than limitations.
But if you wanted to fire only the double click event but not the click events when a double click is occurred, well… that's not doable. But there are ways that you can tackle with it. That is using timing events in javascript.
Declare a global variable to assign the reference of the setTimeout() function. So that you can clear it later. I name the variable as "alreadyclickedTimeout"
$("#ctrlid").click(function(){ if (alreadyclickedTimeout) clearTimeout(alreadyclickedTimeout); alreadyclickedTimeout = setTimeout(function(){ clearTimeout(alreadyclickedTimeout); //write what you want to do on click event }, 300); //300ms is sufficient to delay the next click event before dblclick event is identified, but this is system/user dependent value }).dblclick(function(){ //Now first and foremost what you have to do is to stop the click event before it get fired clearTimeout(alreadyclickedTimeout); //Write what you want to do on dblclick event });
Above is a pretty simple code to handle the issue, but remember that it might fail if the user have assign a larger value to the double click event interval. More information on how to change that value can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-click
Because 900 mili-seconds value is the maximum in windows OS (it might vary in other OSes), if user's actual speed is 400ms for the dbl click and system setting is 900ms, by the time of second click is occurred, the first click event's function will be executed already. Afterward the dblclick event will get fired.
I have written a complete solution to handle this situation. The sample code is shared here.
I have considered 900ms as the click event trigger time. If you want to consider a more worst case scenario in some other OS, you can change 900 to a slightly bigger value.
Note: Don't increase more than 1000ms, you don't want your users to feel a doubtfulness in your system whether it works or not.
Also I think 900ms won't be a problem, because you are planning to use single click and double click on the same control, of course the behaviors on that control is going to be complex and users are aware of it and I expect them to be bit more advanced users.
Note: Don't give these type of features in public sites, it confuses the users, rather better to use a row level button or anchor element. But for corporate applications, such requirements are fine.
Happy coding!
I had message which is generated from the system and it consist of including a URL with an anchor tag in a Jquery model popup. I usually keep my strings/messages in resource files. In this case it had a place holder to be replaced with the URL.
As an example,
"Please CLICK HERE to Log in.

If you have not signed up CLICK HERE."
It was rendering above text as it is in the popup without rendering the HTML tags as hyperlinks,
When I checked the message that was assigned to the popup, its as follows,
"Please CLICK HERE to Log in.

If you have not signed up CLICK HERE."
This is not what I expected to render in the popup. So I created a div tag dynamically (with jQuery its very simple $("
")) and assigned the above message as a HTML. Then I took the text rendered in the div, and assigned that to the popup. There you go, nicely rendered with anchor tags.
Sample code:
s – is the altered message with actual URLs
Note that, in this way you can deal with any html tags. If the tags are rendered as text, get the text and assigned it back as HTML.
If you are getting the following error or something similar on finding difficulties in resolving the Common.Logging.dll, please use the NuGet to do so. http://nuget.org/packages/Common.Logging/
Could not load file or assembly 'Common.Logging, Version=18.104.22.168, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=af08829b84f0328e' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
How easy it can be to just enter "PM> Install-Package Common.Logging" this in the console and enter… magic happens (kidding, it's not magic).
NuGet packages are self resolving many problems when they get installed. So try using them here onward for installation of plugins if its available, it's not that difficult to use.
Have nice day!
You should try this out, a very short and simple code for a watermark plugin. You need 2 files, first the jQuery library, secondly jquery.tinywatermark-3.1.0.js, when you add references you should follow the same order. You can get the plugin files from the below link, it also consists of some demo controls as well.
Code sample,
$("#mytextbox").watermark('watermark', 'Please type something')
It works in all browsers, but unfortunately I came across a situation in chrome few days ago. Following is the error message I got when I focus on the input control."Uncaught Error: NOT_FOUND_ERR: DOM Exception 8"
Error came from the replaceWith() method, it seems the DOM representation for the internal variable cannot be found, so replacing of elements cannot happen. But the same code is working fine in Firefox. It confused me a lot. But after some struggle, came up with a fix. You have to change the code in the plugin a bit. Replace the code inside the focus event with the following.
try { $c.replaceWith(i); } catch (r) { $("#" + $c.attr('id')).replaceWith(i); } setTimeout(function () { i.focus(); }, 1);
NOTE: This plugin is usually working fine, I guess this is a special scenario. So avoid updating your js file if you don't get any errors.
Have fun!!!

Temporary help trends
April 14, 2005
After the 2001 recession, employment growth in the temporary help services industry began its generally upward trend, and, more recently, added 205,000 jobs in 2004.
In this latest phase of the business cycle, this industry was the major contributor to total nonfarm employment growth. Since hitting an employment low in April 2003 (following a peak in April 2000), the temporary help services industry recovered about two-thirds of the jobs lost by December 2004.
Temporary help services supplies labor to all types of industries, which often hire temporary workers to keep pace with increased demand before hiring permanent workers. This practice ensures that increased demand is long lasting before permanent hires are made.
These employment data come from the BLS Current Employment Statistics program and are seasonally adjusted. To find out more, see "Payroll employment grows in 2004," by Emily Lloyd and Charlotte Mueller, Monthly Labor Review, March 2005.

Los Alamos Middle School has chosen to participate in Read to Feed' a reading incentive program designed by Heifer International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending world hunger and poverty while caring for the Earth.
Read to Feed allows children to help find solutions to global problems like hunger and poverty.
LAMS students will record each of the books they read on the back of a sheet, through Dec. 14. Students will ask for pledges for each book they read.
A "buck a book," from their family and friends is recommended, but any amount will be accepted, no matter how small. Cash or checks will be accepted.
Checks should be made out to LAMS with "Read to Feed" on the memo line. School district policy prohibits canvassing: going door-to-door, to collect pledges.
The Read to Feed Committee (a group of seventh graders organizing the fundraiser) will decide what kinds of animals to buy through Heifer International.
Heifer then decides where the need is greatest and provides families and communities with the animals they've purchased through the money raised.

- Product Review (submitted on February 25, 2013):
- Love this bag! I only wish it had a strap because I use it when I go to the movies and on date nights with my hubby and I like to hang it on the armrest rather than the seat next to me(where anyone could swipe it!) or on the floor in the "cine-"yuck"!) also if it had magnetic snaps like ones I have seen before on similar clutches. That would be great. But it's almost perfect as is!

Cost and vanity (or the stigma) of wearing hearing aids are the two most common reasons why people of all ages don't wear hearing aids. After all, don't we all think that someone looks "old" or "feeble" if they need a hearing aid?
When I was a kid, if you wore glasses they called you "four eyes" AND you had better be able to run fast to get away from the mean kids who taunted you. Fast forward to 2012 where eye glasses are now a fashion statement. People wear frames with no prescription just to look cool! Interesting how trends change.
We are launching the Audiotoniq ® Hearing Aids very soon, it is really quite exciting! We definitely have solved the cost issue but we need your help to make hearing aids cool.
I am asking all to fire up their creative juices! Please send us any suggestions on how to make hearing aids cool. The top 10 suggestions will be awarded $50 each for their entry.
Please submit your entry via email to me, email@example.com by June 1, 2012. We will publish the to 10 ideas and the author. Be sure to include your email address and telephone number (if we need to contact you for some reason) with your submission.
Thanks so much for your help, we appreciate it.

City Inspectors Check Scales at New York's Airports
New York, NY —
Several airlines are charging extra for handling your luggage, and city inspectors want to make sure the scales being used are accurate. WNYC's Marc Garber has more.
REPORTER: All 810 scales at LaGuardia and JFK were checked by the city Department of Consumer Affairs. Eighty-seven percent of the scales passed inspection during the first sweep. The remaining 102 were ordered to be re-calibrated within five business days.
New York City Department of Consumer Affairs Commissioner Johnathan Mintz says a follow up inspection last month to ensure compliance found American Airlines at JFK still had problems.
MINTZ: American Airlines had 28 scales which were off balance. When we went back to check again after having issued stop use orders, we found that they were continuing to use, we caught them using 10 of them.
The airline was fined $150 and could face additional fines when it appears at a December hearing for the violation.
American Airlines says it spends tens of thousands of dollars each year checking its scales for accuracy and that inaccurate scales usually err in the customer's favor. For WNYC, I'm Marc Garber.

Law School Applications / Withdrawing Apps: When to do it?« on: January 20, 2007, 11:20:07 AM »
Cornell Deferred me and Fordham accepted me. They were my first and second choices.
Should Cornell come through I will go there, otherwise I will be very happy attending Fordham.
I have a number of other acceptances in the low T1 and all over the T2, I think it is only fair to withdraw these apps and turn down the scholarship offers so that someone else may get off a waitlist or deferral status.
However, some people have told me that I should hold out a little longer, because "you never know what can happen". Once a school has made an admissions offer they can not change it, right?
So, for the rest of you in the same situation, when are you withdrawing your apps?
Studying for the LSAT / Re: College Freshman Wanting to study for LSATs« on: January 20, 2007, 10:58:20 AM »
I honestly wish I had begun to familiarize myself with the test earlier.
I think it is a good idea... however... studying every other day for the next three years does seem a bit excessive. I would say once a week at most until it gets closer to test time.
Although, taking it earlier is also an appealing idea as someone else mentioned.
Good Luck to you and make sure you dont neglect the other things in life... you dont want your life to revolve around one test for three entire years.
Denials / Re: Rejections for Fall 2007« on: January 20, 2007, 09:57:48 AM »
Penn: no shock... wanted to go to the school, long before I ever took the LSAT... so I humored myself to the cost of almost 100 dollars...looking back I could have spent then money MUCH better, oh well... they were very nice in their rejection letter.
BC: Didnt expect to get Dinged so early in the cycle... I did not think my numbers were an auto reject... maybe they were or maybe it was something else about me they did not like.
All my numbers are below and more info is in my LSN link.
I still have some other good schools to choose from so no complaining here... Good Luck to everyone else.

Law School Applications / Visiting a School after Deferral.« on: January 18, 2007, 05:55:57 PM »
I was deferred at Cornell
They are my top choice, even though they are a bit of a long shot.
However, the deferral, as opposed to a straight out rejection gives me a little bit of hope.
I have been thinking I may go up and visit... my question is, what do I say once I am there?
I want them to know I took the long trek to visit them, which I hope will show them how dedicated to their school I am.
Also, has anyone had luck showing up and getting a meeting with an adcom...I am hoping my super personality will shine through in person.. ok not really... but I hope it would help me in some way to speak with someone.

Fordham was the only school I got an email acceptance from and it came sometime between 10 and 11 am EST, cant be sure of the exact time now.
All the other schools I have been accepted (and dinged and deferred ) from have been to sent via snail mail.
Good Luck
Law School Applications / Re: So, what schools are you hoping to hear from today?« on: January 16, 2007, 08:41:32 PM »
I will trade all my acceptances and cash considerations for a Cornell Acceptance!
I know... but it doesnt look like many people who were deferred in previous years actually got acceptances and its not like I am in the top of the class of those who have been deferred. I knew it was a long shot when I applied... but hey a girl can have dreams and Fordham is a pretty good back up plan.
