About King Bio
King Bio offers the only pure water based homeopathics in the industry. Until now all homeopathics have been either based in alcohol, glycerin or sugar. For over 20 years they have clinically researched homeopathy. At the King Health Center one wing was specially designed for the clinical ecology patient. These were people so sensitive to their environment some actually had to wear a breathing machine strapped to their back. These special people could not take the conventional, no alcohol, sugar or glycerin based homeopathics. These hypersensitive people led us to develop King Bio's pure water based homeopathics.
King Bio Natural Medicine is a USA-based company dedicated to the production of safe, all natural medicines without side effects. KB is a registered pharmaceutical manufacturing company with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Each King Bio Natural Medicine formula is manufactured in strict accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and the FDA.

Homeopathic medicines were found to be the most profound and effective treatment system of all the natural therapies tested. Through this research, King Bio Natural Medicine was designed to effectively address the complex health problems of today. The appropriate King Bio Natural Medicine product can provide fast, gentle relief often within minutes (or even seconds) in certain cases.

Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) appears to be undervalued given expected future earnings, but it's not time to declare it the winner among electronics retailers just yet. First, we'll compare Best Buy's cash management with major competitors RadioShack (NYSE:RSH), HH Gregg (NYSE:HGG) and Conn's (Nasdaq:CONN) as well as Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN) and Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT). If its cash flow and balance sheet stack up against those of the competition, I'll gladly crown it cash management champion. (To read the original articles, please refer to Best Buy: Still The Best Electronics Retailer?)

Radio Shack Lives
It's hard to believe that Radio Shack is still around but it is and if its average cash return on invested capital is any indication, it will be around for many years to come. The Shack, as the company's branding itself in ads these days, actually had a higher return than Best Buy in each of the last three fiscal years. That's difficult to comprehend until you consider the two chains' sizes, or more precisely, the difference in their sizes. Radio Shack's total revenues in fiscal 2008 (December year-end) were $4.22 billion, less than a one-tenth of Best Buy's $45.02 billion in its latest fiscal year ended February 28, 2009. Best Buy's operating margin on those sales is 4.2% versus 7.6% for Radio Shack. While Best Buy's shares are currently trading at a reasonable 14.5 times earnings, Radio Shack's trade at a downright bargain of 13 times earnings. Most importantly, Radio Shack's net current asset value per share is $9.95, whereas Best Buy's is $0.8057 per share. Essentially, Radio Shack appears to be a safer company in terms of current per share liquidity requirements.
Biggest Disappointment
The hardest thing for long-time Best Buy to accept should be the way management has handled its cash in the past two fiscal years. Two events specifically call into question the timing of management's actions. First, it repurchased 9.8 million shares in fiscal 2008 at a price of around $47 per share for a total of $461 million. I have nothing against share repurchases, but when a company seriously overpays - the shares have since fallen by approximately 12% - I have to wonder how well served shareholders are by such a move, especially when you consider that the company could have purchased those same shares for significantly less by waiting a couple of years. Best Buy's stock was trading close to its all-time high for most of 2007 shortly before the repurchases took place. Surely dividend payments made more sense given its valuation.
Bottom Line
Not only am I unconvinced that Best Buy knows what it's doing from a cash flow point of view, but also that it stands a clear second to its once-cheesy rival in terms of investment potential. Radio Shack is the undervalued electronics retail stock in my opinion. Investors should take a closer look.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor

Fragile, In Other Words

Any plans to teach your comedy composition course at the University of Minnesota again?
Chris J.
No plans to teach again, Chris. I taught some courses and it was high times being around funny twenty-year-olds, but it's hard work, too hard for me, and it eats up a man's self-esteem. Teaching is a religious calling and you do your best and then you walk away feeling utterly inadequate and it's hard on an older person such as myself. And I'm becoming an eccentric recluse who sits in a dim room with three cats and knits scarves and listens to gypsy music and weeps and smokes cigarillos and sips absinthe. Fragile, in other words. But thanks for asking.

Mr. Keillor;
Perhaps changing your life up a bit would help tremendously. Have you considered knitting a sweater instead?
Toasting you with my own shot of Absinthe and working on some red socks for a friend,
Nan Koenig
p.s. Our son, Aslan Garrison Peter Koenig, was five Friday. He keeps telling people he's "Aslan Peter Koenig the only one." Sorry about that.
p.s.s. I am now half-way finished with my non-fiction degree from the University of Memphis. Thanks for the advice after the show in Tuepelo as to writing non-fiction first and fiction will take care of itself. Worthwhile and true advice that really really helped.
Too bad to hear. I'm currently enrolled at the U of M and I had a friend, Alex Brown, who took your class and spoke of you in high regard. I guess I will just have to do some self-directed learning and analyze radio broadcasts.
Are there any books on the subject that you would recommend? I am currently working on my masters in creative fiction in the University of Southern Mississippi's Center for Writers program. Any help or advice or urges to come and speak would be greatly appreciated.
Life is too short to smoke cheap cigars. A nice Punch Double Corona would go well with absinthe.

Q&A with Ann Wilson of Heart
Freshly-inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Famers play Riverbend Saturday
Heart introduced a fresh, rebellious sound in the early 1970s when a particular voice was truly needed. That timeless voice belonged to singer Ann Wilson. In a time when the female frontwoman was just gaining steam, Heart found their identity in theirs. To this day Wilson embodies the band's sound and message. She helped make it possible for generations of others to find their voice in Rock & Roll. The band's legacy was celebrated on a grand scale this year when Ann, her sister, guitarist Nancy Wilson, and the rest of the Heart family were inducted into the 2013 class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the likes of fellow legendary groups Rush and Public Enemy. CityBeat had the privilege of speaking with the legendary vocalist in advance of Heart's performance Saturday at Riverbend Music Center. Audiences can anticipate hearing classics like "Barracuda" and "Crazy on You," as well as fresh music off of the 2012 album Fanatic, which nicely continues the Heart legacy. Don't miss the finale with Jason Bonham (opening the show with his Led Zeppelin tribute) joining them on stage. CityBeat: What was the highlight of your Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction this year? Ann Wilson: The highlight of my (RRHOF) induction this year was standing beside Nancy at the podium. That was a feeling of great pride I will never forget. CB: What is the most number of days you have gone without playing music? AW: I have gone months sometimes without playing a guitar, but never a day goes by where I don't sing. CB: What does your ideal day look like these days? AW: Sleep in late, have a great pilates/yoga workout, hang out with my kids and their kids, cook dinner, meditate, sleep with my dog nearby. CB: If you could trade places with someone for a month who would it be and why? AW: I guess I couldn't do that. I don't envy anyone else that much! CB: You have seen music recording formats change from vinyl and 8-track to cassette, CD and MP3 through the years. Do you feel like music sounds better or worse with the use of technology? AW: Music definitely sounds worse to my ears because of digital technology. There is a hard, brittle sound to it. Analog music sounded warmer and deeper, though maybe not as " perfect." Auto-Tune makes me crazy because it removes all individuality from a person's voice. Everyone ends up sounding anonymous. The imperfections are where the soul is, I say leave them in. Leave in the humanity.CB: How did the latest tour come about with Jason Bonham? Any favorite tour stories from the current tour? AW: Many people saw the Kennedy Center Honors show on TV or YouTube and loved the tribute to Led Zeppelin. The management was listening and everyone agreed it would be a beautiful idea. We've only done two weeks so far, and it's been amazing. No train wrecks yet! CB: Do you journal or take photos over the years with special tour memories. How do you document your stories and memories? AW: We record every night and have photographers on sight. Occasionally I will blog, but I am usually pretty wound up after a show. Maybe this will be the year I take up a journal. A person can't count on their memory forever!! CB: Does it ever get tough being on the road with family? How have you handled it for so many years? AW: Yes, the road is rough. Traveling and performing together takes a lot out of you and sometimes things do get emotional. We are lucky to have each other for support. I don't know how I would have made it all these years without Nancy's love, strength and sense of humor! CB: Are you working on new music while on the road? AW: My head is full of new songs at the moment. CB: What can fans looks forward to when the tour hits Cincinnati? AW: The show in Cincinnati will open with Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience, Next will be the heart show, after which there will be a finale consisting of about 30 minutes of Zeppelin songs with Jason Bonham and (Bonham's guitarist) Tony Catania joining in.

We are two weeks into summer and there have been plenty of great musical events already. But, thanks in part to the growing number of venues hosting larger concerts in the area, there's still a lifetime of shows to come this hot season.

Exactly how much more praise can we lavish upon Richard Thompson before his head explodes? How many more times can we hail his fluidity and invention as a guitarist in both acoustic and electric settings, his elegant brilliance as a songwriter, his honey-with-a-double-bourbon-chaser voice and his almost supernatural consistency before he turns into a pile of ash like a not-at-all-teenaged vampire? Well, let's give it one more shot, because Thompson's latest album, 'Dream Attic,' is (take a deep breath, everyone) fantastic.

No one really knows what death feels like. If they did, they'd be dead. As a kid I remember looking out the back plate glass window into the backyard and telling my mother that the rays of sunshine poking through the clouds and hitting the valley below were people coming back from heaven after they died.

CSA Supports the First 'Wall Heart' Project in India
'Paint a wall, colour a life'
Mumbai, January 18, 2013: It took some paint, people and 'poha' to organize India's first Wall Heart Project - an initiative to add colours in the lives of the lesser privileged children. The initiative was organized in association with the CSA (Catalysts for Social Action), a social welfare organization dedicated to the cause of child welfare. This Project marks the beginning of the Wall Project.
Volunteers, across Mumbai painted the walls of an observation home, popularly known as Chillar Home, located in Bhiwandi (Thane dist). The project comprised a mix of writers, painters, businessmen, dentists, professional artists & social media professionals. A couple of members from the observation home also joined to support the cause.
From Calvin and Hobbes to an abstract mural, the 'heartists' showcased a plethora of beautiful pictures brightening the otherwise dull white walls of the boys' dorm. The children had a bright cheerful room with inspiring messages and a lesson to take home that "The world is not a bad dark place to live in; it can be a party after all".
Speaking on the occasion, The Secretary of "The Dilip Kalantri Boys and Girls observation Home" Bhiwandi, said, "The initiative has helped in changing the attitude of these boys. We usually only have a white coat of paint once or twice a year but the initiative has added art and colour to inspire their thinking. We hope for more such creative associations with CSA".
Payal Shah Karwa, a communications' professional who conceived The Wall Heart Project, says "The idea is to not just paint walls but beautify the lives of the youth and children. If a small action like this can inspire them to better some aspect of their life, we could help in changing a life forever. Creative therapy is the best way to divert young energy into something worthwhile".
Dadasaheb Sargar, Program Officer-Catalyst for Social Action, said, "As an organization, we are here to bridge the gap and help more children to shape up their lives. This was an amazing initiative and we would like to scale up to other locations as well. The event was possible due to the huge support and coordination by my friend, Payal".
A volunteer at the initiative, Ramya Pandyan, Blogger and Social Media Professional, shares her experience ''The Wall Heart Project was to paint the interiors of a children's home, an experience that would not normally have been possible to us. But being able to spend the day adding a little beauty to the sparse surroundings of facility for children was both humbling and enriching. It was also a lot of fun, splashing paint onto walls!'

No, this is not a tutorial on CSS or page design. Centring the Margins was the theme for this year's Baptist Assembly in Brighton. I've just got back and was wondering whether the assembly really ever touched this theme at all, and actually whether the title itself is the wrong way round.
I'm not sure the assembly, in its worship, content and conversation went anywhere near the margins. Musically, the worship was rather uniform – the band playing the usual contemporary songs in the usual kind of church worship band way. They were good, but… And Krystal were great, but… Where were the margins? Where was Taize, where was rap?. Where was silence? And yes where did all those old hymns go? Missing too were those things that had appeared in previous assemblies – drama, art, creative liturgy. It was all very uniform, trying to create a TV chatshow style event. A seperate stream ran this year called Prism which was intended to be the more 'alternative' style worship. This was more informal and creative, but even that seemed rather too near the centre and seemed to result in the main session being emptied of creativity and variety.
Maybe all this goes to form my general feeling that actually, as one guy in the PRISM session remarked, the title is the wrong way round.
We shouldn't be trying the bring the margins into the centre, the centre should be moving to the margins. Jesus spent his time in the margins, not in the centre. So after hearing people on stage trying to show us how to centre the margins, I went home feeling like we had been asking the wrong questions all weekend.
May be next time the theme will be obliterate the margins or marginalising the centre.
Oh, and in case you were wondering how to centre margins in CSS it goes something like this:
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 50em;
to obliterate the margins you would probably code:

That post really made me laugh. Cheers for telling as how to centre the margins in Brighton. LOL

The only studded tires I see are 700 x 35mm and the the fenders only go up to 700 x 35 also. Can I put these on my bike since the rims are 700 ? Not sure if the width makes a difference. Can you clear this up for me.

Villa Noise: Suits you Lambert, Bertrand joke and Benteke boost
7th May 2014
Journalist Percy quizzed Paul Lambert in the post-match press conference and enjoyed a few humorous digs from the boss.
First Percy asked Lambert if the decision to go away to a hotel the night before the game - and arrive on a coach - was one taken due to the importance of the Tigers clash, after previously seeing players arrive for home matches in their own cars.
Lambert told him the team had done it on several occasions before Percy interrupted, adding: "The team coach nearly ran me over by the way!"
Lambert quickly countered: "I know. I told the driver to do that!"
Before Percy could catch breath, he was enjoying more friendly banter with the gaffer.
Other reporters asked the boss if his decision to wear a suit was a superstitious one.
Lambert immediately told them it wasn't.
Out of nowhere, Percy said: "Lambert isn't suiterstitious then?"
There was a collective groan before Lambert added: "Oh dear. Come on man!"
The Villa News & Record has landed yet another award.
Programme dealers www.gpfootball.com have voted us the Best 2013-14 Programme Cover for our special edition issue against Everton in October.
The image was designed by renowned football artist Paine Profitt to commemorate 150 years of the FA, and depicted Villa and Everton players from the 19th century.
"The cover was stunning," said George Peters.
"It was the easiest category for us to select the winner - it was a programme cover with maximum impact and fantastic artwork."
The cover design award follows three awards from Independent View, the magazine of the Northern Programme Club - programme of the month for August, most improved programme of 2013-14 and best feature for the Villa Vault.
Matt Lowton was on hand this week to back Villa's participation in the Homeless FA scheme.
Homeless FA is a national homeless football charity supporting all initiatives that use football as a means of improving the lives of homeless people in England.
Villa are acting as one of 11 professional training centres offering five-day programmes of activity run between April and May.
Lowton attended the introductory day where participants received their Villa training kit and a tour of Villa Park.
After offering them a warm welcome, the full-back signed certificates of attendance, posed for photographs and took part in a short Q&A session.
The club has 34 participants on its programme, having had one of the highest demand levels of all the clubs involved.
Ryan Bertrand had the AVTV team scratching their heads this week.
Taking part in a funny Q&A about his team-mates, Bertrand was asked who the best dressed player was in the squad.
Bertrand quickly said: "I think it's the lad who plays No.23."
AVTV presenter Jack Woodward and cameraman Craig Martin looked at each other, attempting to recall the name of the player who wore that particular shirt.
Eventually after about a minute of waiting, ever-patient Bertrand told them it was him!
The season is almost over but there's a host of West Midlands derbies in store this summer - all on one action-packed day.
The Club Legends Cup, in support of Cure Leukaemia, will take place at the LG Arena on Saturday July 12, the day before the World Cup final.
Villa play in Group B, along with Coventry City, Wolves and the Rest of the World team, while Group A will comprise West Brom, Walsall, Blues and a Media/Showbiz team.
"I'm really looking forward to this tournament," said former Villa midfielder Lee Hendrie.
"To put on the claret and blue shirt and take on our rivals at an arena like the LG will be special."
The Villa squad will also include David James, Stefan Postma, Ian Taylor, Paul Merson, Julian Joachim, Dion Dublin, Darius Vassell, Darren Byfield, Alan Wright and Gordon Cowans.
To find out more, click here.
Ian Taylor was up and down like a yoyo during the Hull game - and not because he kept popping out a drink.
Legend Taylor was only too happy to keep standing up and clapping the crowd as they sang 'Taylor, Taylor, give us a wave' and 'There's only one Ian Taylor" throughout the 90 minutes against the Tigers.
Little did he realise that one of his acknowledgements would be captured on camera.
When he saw the picture on social media some hours later, he tweeted: "Lol. Sit down!"
Christian Benteke will be feeling much better soon - thanks to the get-well cards of kids in Northern Ireland.
Benteke is currently recovering from his knee operation but he will receive a pick-me-up in the coming weeks as he takes hold of hundreds of letters urging him to stay positive in his rehabilitation.
As we chronicled some months ago, staff at Ampertaine Primary School in County Londonderry wanted to use the power of football to help educate the kids in a range of subjects.
So headmaster Garry McIlwaine organised a draw in assembly one morning to pick a team to get behind.
Villa were selected at random - and it was very apt as the school uniform is claret and blue!
Now children will improve their literacy, maths, ICT, PE and study a subject called 'World Around Us' courtesy of Villa facts and figures.
Kids from the school are truly behind Villa now as they follow their heroes every weekend.
They were truly overwhelmed when staff from the club - including Hercules the Lion - flew over to congratulate them on choosing Villa - before showing them 'thank-you' messages from Paul Lambert and his players.
This week, the children took it upon themselves to write to our star striker in order to keep his spirits up.
They sent through a huge amount of letters, which have been forwarded on to Benteke as he focuses on getting fit for next season.
Player officer Lorna McClelland told us: "Christian will be delighted to receive the letters.
"When players have a serious injury, it can make them feel a little isolated from the club and their fans.
"We are in constant contact with him and are forwarding messages from fans.
"He's going to have a wonderful surprise. It will give him a huge boost."
There was a delegation of staff from the school at the Villa v Hull game at the weekend - their first claret and blue match.
It's fair to say they were overwhelmed by the welcome, the facilities, the pitch, the atmosphere - oh, and the score!
Four year-old Samuel Cash was thrilled to meet his idol Brad Guzan before our home match with Southampton.
And the youngster from Bingham in Nottinghamshire couldn't believe it when our American keeper presented him with a pair of his gloves.
Samuel's first game was the 2-1 win over West Ham last year and he now has a season ticket in the lower tier of the Doug Ellis Stand, along with his dad Jamie and his grandparents, who live in Streetly.
"He shouts Brad's name when the team are warming up," said Jamie. "Sometimes Brad hears him and waves to him."
His mum Cathy told us that Samuel couldn't make it to the Man City game earlier this season - but it didn't stop him showing his extreme excitement as he watched the massive match on TV.
As you can see below, he was somewhat delighted when Leandro Bacuna banged home his wonder free-kick.
Defender Hayley Crackle can really move on the football pitch - but seemingly not on the dance floor.
As part of the matchday programme for Villa Ladies home games, players are asked to dish the dirt on their team-mates in a range of categories, such as loudest, best trainer and most skilful.
Bethan Merrick was asked to contribute and her good friend Crackle was firmly on top in the 'worst dancer' category.
Merrick said: "Hayley has the most uncoordinated limbs of any girl I have ever met.
"Don't go near her on the dance floor!
"I remember that we went out as a group at Christmas and it was one of the most embarrassing things I have seen in my life."

text: hey guys this question is probably pretty stupid, but im wondering if most bianchi mtb singlespeeds have 135 spacing. Reason im asking is im buying some surly hubs to lace a wheel but i just want to be doubly sure that its not 130 instead. The bike in question is posted on craigslist and im going on a test ride tomorrow, but i want to order the hubs tonight. My intuition tells me that its 135, but i dont want to get chapped if its actually 130mm. Thanks in advance, ill post pictures once i get it all built up.

Silvestre Reyes (D, TX-16) defeated in primary.
It was a bit of a surprise, yesterday: long-term Texas Democratic incumbent Silvestre Reyes was taken down in a primary yesterday. Early reports are crediting the Campaign for Primary Responsibility (CPA), an ostensibly non-partisan anti-incumbent group, for the upset. Fortunately, Reyes is frankly a loss neither to our side (long-notorious PMA porker) nor the Left's (heavy-handed War on Some Drugs booster). And alas, but the | Read More »

Hey guys I'm just curious if anyone had a list or detailed list regarding requirements for hours and qualifications for different airlines. This question stems from an ad I saw for Emirates wanting pilots in North America! I can really see the demand world wide for pilots now more and more. If anyone can post one that'd be great. I'm training through a pilot sponsorship so my first job will be on what I'm told and probably with about 250 or 300 hrs. Anyone care to ad to this?!

Secrets of Success
Hide the Chocolate!
Thursday, March 28, 2013
I thought I could keep dark chocolate in the house and not have a problem with it, but yesterday I ate more than I usually portion out, and in general I'm really fighting cravings again.
I thought I stayed in my calorie range yesterday, but after I went to bed, I remembered some extras that I ate after lunch and forgot to put on the tracker. Well, that's kinda sad because it ended a streak of 72 days tracking and staying in calorie range. No----correction----no sadness here! I'm going to feel TREMENDOUS that I tracked and stayed in range for 72 days. First time I have EVER done that....but not the last time! I have a new streak going, by the way.... a streak of one day, counting today!
Yesterday I went over by 230 calories. Doesn't sound that bad on paper, but for myself I KNOW I have been feeling binge-y for a couple days. I'm pretty sure yesterday was a binge-ette. I have been pretty aware and have stopped myself on several different days..... but it's still the feeling of standing on a precipice. Once recently I had the "on a cliff" image in my head, so I visualized myself walking away from a rocky danger spot. I also used the approach, "What would I tell a friend if she told me she feels like she's standing on a precipice, about to go over the edge?" I would say, "Walk away! You have the power to choose! Walk away!"
So it's time to take action. I know sugar is a trigger, and I've gotten sloppy. So I'm writing this for reference and accountability. No sugar for two weeks. Not even dark chocolate. I need to see if that can take me back to peaceful relations with food.
It's not that noble; I am not fond of Easter candy, and since I don't eat wheat now, this 2-week focus doesn't make me miss much that would interest me. Our oldest son's birthday is this weekend, but his chosen celebratory offering is cheesecake. I don't mind missing cheesecake. No biggie.
Sunday is Resurrection Day with a brunch at church, so I have to mentally prepare for that buffet. It happens after a joyful, uplifting service of worship and celebration, so that helps me be in a good frame of mind. Strategy: I'm thinking about having my teen daughter fix my plate and bring it to the table, so I don't even go through the line myself. Right now I feel too vulnerable. She eats healthy and has studied nutrition this year with me, so she'll know what to bring me.
Getting back to the title from this long beat-around-the-bush....I packaged up the 72% cacao dark chocolate bars and the Trail Mix with dark morsels and the Rollo....!!!!....why are Rollo candies in my pantry?.....and put them where I won't see them. When my daughter gets home from work, I'll have her hide them so she and her sister can have them, but I won't have any temptation. My husband has no interest in chocolate. Can you imagine? I can't. Also we have another son, my flesh and bone, who just never cared for chocolate. How does that happen?

I find a big difference between 72% chocolate and 85% plus. I do only 85% plus these days, I like the ones with less fat (other wise it takes like lard is in there to me), and they all typically have less sugar. It keeps the other chocolate at bay, but sometimes I find I am eating more (100-200 calories worth vs 30-100 calories worth). I take it as a stress sign and take care of other things in my life. Rolos - nope, I would wolf them all down in a short time. So you might try the higher %. Note: I also add it to a cup of Fage & fruit/nuts, or even drizzled over fruit so it feels like I got a lot of chocolate vs 30 calories worth. But bottom line it keeps me away from the other chocolate.

Congrats on stopping your negative thinking about the "binge-ette". Love your visual of walking away from a precipice. (WHY didn't I read your blog earlier in the day??? But that's another story.)
I think having your daughter go through the line for you is a wonderful idea. She will be very proud to be able to help you. I know what you mean about potlucks though, and buffets...they are terribly hard for us food-a-holics.
Have fun this weekend!

This week, we continue back-to-basics month with an article about how to configure the Notes client as a POP3 email client.
Response to last week's article was interesting. While most of our experienced admin readers didn't find anything new, John Weiss writes, "Yeah, I've done this a thousand times or more. Maybe I can print this out and give it to my users and avoid doing it another thousand times!"
Hilton Day had a caution to pass on, based on the fact that I'd mentioned I'd also installed Designer and Administrator on my machine:
I'm not positive, but mentioning that installing the Designer & Administrator part of Notes has a significant impact on the money owed to IBM/Lotus. I'm guessing the powers that be might be somewhat panicked at the thought of all their users with full blown installs of Lotus Notes on each of their machines. In reality, I guess the chances of users actually having access to the Notes CD is rather slim but still; being aware of the ramifications might make computer life better for all concerned.
And Irwin Mayer asks, "If I don't want to use Outlook Express for email, can I use Notes as just an email client?"
Irwin, that's what this article's all about.
Setting up a POP client
Once you've done the basic client install, the next step will be to configure the client for POP email access. If you've never configured anything in your new install, launching the client will result in the screen shown in Figure A.FIGURE A
Let's configure the client. (click for larger image)
There's nothing to configure here, but if you click Next, you'll be brought to the User Information dialog, shown in Figure B.FIGURE B
If you're just using this as a POP3 client, don't specify a Domino server. (click for larger image)
Here's the simple trick for making Notes into a POP3 client. Do NOT check the "I want to connect to a Domino server" checkbox. If you leave this option unchecked, your Notes client will be a standalone application. Click Next to move to the next screen.
Because we're going for simple POP3 functionality, you don't need to set up instant message. Leave "Setup instant messaging" unchecked, as shown in Figure C, and click Next.FIGURE C
OMG! I don't need IM! I'm too old to use AOL! LOL! (click for larger image)
At this point, you'll be presented with the Additional Servers screen shown in Figure D.FIGURE D
Now's the time to check a box. (click for larger image)
This screen is where you'll tell Notes that you want to retrieve POP3 email. Just click "Internet mail servers," and then click Next.
Nothing's more exciting than setting up Internet mail. On the Set Up Internet Mail screen, select POP from the drop-down menu, select Incoming Internet mail from the second drop down menu, and enter your email server for incoming email (from your ISP to your machine), as shown in Figure E.

Diaphragm walls are commonly used in congested areas for retention systems and permanent foundation walls. They can be installed in close proximity to existing structures with minimal loss of support to existing foundations. In addition, construction dewatering is not required so there is no associated subsidence. Diaphragm walls have also been used as deep groundwater barriers through, and under, dams. In some applications, they are constructed from non-reinforced plastic concrete.

For complete coverage of the 2012 CeraVe Invitational, including intern-produced recaps, interviews, on-demand videos and photos, go to the Event Landing Page. A LIVE stream of finals will also be available at the Event Landing Page.
Feature by Swimming World intern Valerie Podbelski
PISCATAWAY, New Jersey, January 14. FORMED in 1993, Asphalt Green Unified Aquatics (AGUA) has become one of the premier swimming teams in the northeast. Two of the primary driving forces behind the club currently, head coach Rachel Stratton-Mills and husband Glenn Mills prepared for today's swim meet at the 2012 CeraVe Invitational with only one demand of their swimmers; dedication.
Stratton-Mills began her career at age 17 playing water polo. From that time on, she began swimming on her own and, what started as a hobby, transformed into a love of the sport. As a member of the swimming team at UCLA, Stratton-Mills began coaching at a young age.
"I think I started coaching as soon as I started swimming. I would come home in the summers and coach swimmers at the local pool," said Stratton-Mills.
Stratton-Mills' husband, Mills, began swimming at age five.
"I would follow my brothers to the pool and swim even though I was horrible," said Mills.
Through the years, his dedication and technique began developing and by age 18 he had become one of the best swimmers in the country. He qualified for the 1980 Moscow Games in the 200-meter breaststroke at the 1980 Olympic Trials, but wound up staying home due to the U.S. boycott. He later, along with all the other Americans who stayed home, earned the Congressional Gold Medal.
Mills believed that he could be a better teacher than a swimmer, and thus began his quest to create a business that would improve the technical content in order to help better athlete's abilities. He is the video producer and co-founder of GoSwim.tv and spends most of his time either underwater with a camera or supporting his wife.
"My main goal is to help support Rachel with her career. I vacuum our apartment, feed the dog, and do the dishes. I try to not have her worry about the little things that way she is able to concentrate on coaching," said Mills.
The couple shares a common philosophy and stresses the importance of commitment and dedication to each of their swimmers.
"When you find something you love, you give it everything you've got," said Stratton-Mills. Mills added, "An athlete's career is short lived. It grows between high school and college graduation and when a person doesn't commit, they will never find out how good they could have been. I believe an athlete has the rest of their life to do other things, such as partying, and should wait until then to begin experimenting. You don't want to wait too long to find your passion because you will eventually end up as a chubby man sitting on a couch."
In preparing for today's meet, Stratton-Mills made sure each of her swimmers knew what she expected from them.
"We are in the middle of our winter training and all our swimmers are in the very best shape they can be in. We only had one day home before this meet, (AGUA previously trained at altitude in Colorado Springs, Colo.) so I made sure my swimmers knew how fast I expected them to go and how hard I expected them to work."
A typical day for Stratton-Mills begins with practice at 5:30 in the morning. She works until noon, when Mills joins his wife to coach Masters after walking the two blocks from their Manhattan apartment over to the pool to help train the athletes.
"We live only two blocks away from the pool, so while Rachel was away at another meet, I stayed back and assisted the swimmers who were there."
"We are a unique couple because both of our lives encompass swimming," Stratton-Mills said. "You don't find too many husband-wife teams who love swimming as much as we do."
"I think what's great about our relationship and us both being swimmers and involved with the same profession is that we both support each other and understand each other's position. It makes it easier to know why Rachel is always traveling and why she gets frustrated. We have tremendous support for each other and I cannot be more proud of her work in New York," said Mills.
Recently, the couple has developed a new rule: "We, more specifically me, are not allowed to talk about swimming at night," said Stratton-Mills.
In an effort to create a more personal life outside of swimming the duo competed on an adult soccer team.
"We were absolutely terrible," joked Stratton-Mills, "it was really cold outside and we're not used to outdoor sports." Mills teasingly added, "Trying to find a life outside of swimming is still a work in progress."
The couple foresees a great future ahead and is preparing to have their swimmers compete in many upcoming events.
"We are focusing on having many of our swimmers on our youth teams to qualify for the Junior National team," Stratton-Mills said. The next stop for the couple and their team is Omaha, Neb., the site of the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials.

Presenting the interim and final Rail Budget of UPA-II ahead of the general elections, Railway Minister Mallikarjun Kharge announced 73 new long-distance trains and 19 new lines and no fare hike.
Bits and Bites
* 90.8% Operating ratio (Money spent against every Rs 100 earned) worse than last years 90.2%, 89.8% Projected for 2014-15
Premium Trains to ministers states
* 4 to Mallikarjun Kharges Karnataka

Kharge said by authorising creation of a Rail Tariff Authority which will come into force soon, the process of tariff setting will become transparent and take away the powers of the Railway Board and the minister to set tariffs behind closed doors.
* I do not want to compete with anybody for popularity or in populist measures. I am really interested in the growth of railways, that it should give facilities to passengers and survive for the people of the country. Mallikarjun Kharge (Railway Minister)
* (The budget is) misleading and a gimmick to make false promises by an outgoing government.
Mamata Banerjee (West Bengal Chief Minister)
* The interim railway budget is no more than an election gimmick and stunt. We can term this a farewell budget of the UPA-Congress government. Ananth Kumar (BJP general secretary)
* There is nothing in the railway budget for the people of Tamil Nadu to cheer about. But I take satisfaction in the fact that it is only an interim budget and the main railway budget to be presented in June, 2014, by a new government will reflect the aspirations of the people of Tamil Nadu. J Jayalalithaa (Tamil Nadu Chief Minister)
*By a single stroke, we cannot solve all problems that have been infecting the Indian railway system over decades. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury (Minister of State for Railways)

New Lines:
* Harmuti-Naharlagun (Arunachal Pradesh)
* Dudhnoi-Mehendipathar

If you've been jobless for more than two years, you've essentially been invisible to the federal government. Handy isn't it, for an administration that would prefer to project the image of an economy rebounding thanks to its stellar economic stimulus programs?
But the truth is, well, the truth. And that truth is that unemployment data has been skewed by a bunch of silly rules for who gets counted as being without a job and who doesn't. And there have been an awful lot of people who weren't being counted.As of Saturday, the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics will raise the upper limit on how long someone can be listed as jobless from two years to five years. The measure will presumably help the think-tankers and economists better measure the severity of the country's prolonged economic downturn. I can't call it a recession anymore because the official think-tankers and economists charged with determining such things have already proclaimed the recession over. I guess the 15 million or so unemployed just didn't get the memo.
The BLS change -- and by the way, the BLS makes changes at glacial speed -- should not be taken lightly, although it will actually change very little. The two-year limit has been in place for 33 years.
Right now, interviewers who are filling out the bureau's Current Population Survey can only check off a box that says "99 weeks or over" when speaking to the long-term unemployed. Under the new change, being jobless for "260 weeks and over" will be added to the form.
My take? It's one less way the government can play ostrich. The change won't affect how the unemployment rate is calculated. And it certainly won't extend jobless benefits to those who get them. But it does make the true number of unemployed harder to ignore. Nearly 10% of the country's 15.1 million unemployed have been looking for work for two or more years and many economists expect hiring to remain sluggish through 2011. As the number of "99-plusers" grows, it has to become a force to be reckoned with.

High-Frequency Welding Technology of Lsaw Steel Pipe
LSAW steel pipe is parallel to the longitudinal weld steel pipe. Production process is simple, high efficiency, low cost, rapid development, which usually divided into metricwelded steel pipe, welding thin-walled tube, transformer cooling tubing.
Straight seam high frequency welded steel pipe technology is relatively simple, rapid continuous production characteristics of a wide range of applications in civil construction, petrochemical, light industry and other sectors. It is used for the transportation of low-pressure fluid, or made into a variety of engineering components and light industrial products.
Straight seam high frequency welded steel pipe production process
Straight seam welded steel pipe is the high-frequency welding unit to the specifications of a long strip of strip rolled into the round tube and straight seam welded steel pipe. The shape of the steel tube can be circular, it can be square or shaped, it depends on the post-weld sizing rolling welded steel materials: low carbon steel and σs of ≤ 300N/mm2 σs of ≤ 500N/mm2 low-alloy steel or other steel products. straight seam steel pipe production of high-frequency welding process: high-frequency straight seam steel pipe welding is the use of AC skin effect and proximity effect, steel (steel) roll forming, the formation of a circular cross-section disconnect the tube in the tube near the induction coil near the center of rotation of one or a group of impedance (magnetic bar), the impedance of the formation of an electromagnetic induction loop with tube openings in the skin effect and proximity role of the effect of the tube openings edge to produce a powerful, centralized thermal effects, so that the weld edge of the rapidly heated to welding the desired temperature by the pressure roller after extrusion, the molten metal crystal indirect co cooling after the formation of a solid butt welds.
High frequency welding
The high frequency welding is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction and exchange charge in the conductor skin effect, proximity effect and eddy current heating effect, so that the weld steel edge of the local heating to the molten state by extrusion of the wheel, so that the butt welds to achieve crystal indirect together to achieve the purpose of the weld. High-frequency welding is an induction welding (or pressure contact welding), it is no need to weld filler, weld spatter, weld forming beautiful narrow heat-affected zone, welding welding good mechanical properties, etc. Therefore, in the production of steel pipes by wide range of applications.

Forget prime-time TV - our working environs can often provide more drama than an episode of Gray's Anatomy. It's fairly predictable. Whenever people get together in close quarters like we have at work, it naturally brings out some of the worst in human behavior – most notably, in workplace gossip.
A CEO friend of mine was approached recently by an employee who complained that a co-worker was trying to poison him. When he told me, I laughed at first, because that is just so hilarious, to think someone is so paranoid as to imagine a co-worker is trying to poison him. This sounds more like it came right out of a wacky comedy, like the "Nine to Five" movie with Dolly Parton and Lilly Tomlin. My friend then grimaced a bit, an unintended facial twist that said, "This is so ridiculous that I can hardly keep a straight face, but I feel so sorry for this poor sucker."
He went on to tell me in very somber and professional tones how this employee had been concerned for his life - especially during break-time, when he suspected that a Certain Someone had tampered with his bag lunch, which had been kept in the unsecured office fridge. I would have just told this employee to order out more often, and stop taking chances with the unmonitored corporate refrigerator. But my CEO friend is much more sympathetic and kind towards his employees. He proceeded to launch a full-scale covert investigation on behalf of the suspicious employee. Nothing turned up, of course, but it made this person feel much safer.
Research Shows That Office Gossip Can Get Really, Really Mean!
The New York Times recently highlighted some research that had been reported in the Journal of Contemporary Ethnography, shedding new light on this ancient social pastime. Yes, I couldn't believe it either, that gossip was actually the subject of scientific research. Or that there was such a thing as the Journal of Contemporary Ethnography. After studying teachers at an elementary school who were dissatisfied with their principal, the researchers concluded that gossip at work was "a form of reputational warfare." In the case of this school, the gossip not only affected the target, but in the end it brought everyone down. The aticle concluded that wokrplace gossip is not good for morale, or productivity, as you could imagine. Plus it can get really, really, mean. So what's a balanced, good-intentioned, spiritually-inclined office worker to do? Rather than recommending a "No Gossip" office zone (not realistic, they say), the authors suggest four handy tips to manage the flaming lips at work.
1. Use Pre-emptive Positive Evaluation.
This sounds complicated, but it's actually Contemporary Ethnographer-speak for sticking up for someone. The researchers found that if, upon an office rival's bitter attack on a co-worker, a quick, "Isn't she doing a great job?" tends to shut it down. Obviously, because it makes it less fun to gossip if someone else is just going to throw a bucket of cold water on it by lifting up the other person.
2. Play Dumb.
If a sly co-worker tries to get around direct gossip per-se by using the ever-popular device of bitter sarcasm, you can calm the waters by simply asking the culprit to explain themselves. For instance, if they make a nasty remark about another worker such as, "Oh, real great job." You can calmly ask exactly what they mean by that, in a pleasant and cheerful voice.
3. Change the subject.
This might be the oldest trick in the book, and one that is less likely to leave you as a social outcast, or branded as the "gossip police." When the conversation turns nasty, then turn the conversation! Always be prepared with a list of hot office topics that will pique the interest of the gossipers, to re-channel their nastiness into some productive conversation.
Evil Gossiper: "OMG, did you see what Tina is wearing today? I'm surprised she hasn't tried out for the lead role as the witch in 'Wicked,' with that horrid green get-up."
You: "Hey, speaking of green, how about that Going Green initiative that corporate is trying to introduce for creating a sustainable environment? Did you see the memo? My team has come up with some great ideas!"
4. Get back to Work.
When things are spinning out of control, the last resort is to remind everyone of the most basic thing about life at the office: "Don't we have some work to do here?" So, what about you? What did you think of Tina's outfit? And do you have any better suggestions for dealing with gossip at work?

text: India, already the world's third-largest economy in purchasing power parity terms, and the one emerging economy whose rise the world sees as stabilising rather than threatening, must be responsible in its diplomatic conduct, not risible. The Indian government should not get goaded by Opposition parties and agitated television anchors to escalate the war of words that erupted after Italy said that it would not send back two marines, accused of shooting Indian fishermen off the coast of Kerala, back to be tried in India. The Supreme Court, in its wisdom, has now restrained the Italian ambassador from travelling out of India, probably because the ambassador had given his assurance that the marines would return.

Reading Genesis 34 in the Old Testament we get a feeling for the setting of this fictional novel built around Dinah, daughter of Leah and Jacob; brother of Joseph.
Through the voice of Dinah, Anita Diamant carries us back to what the culture for women, in particular, might have been at that time.
It is a spell-binding account of life in the lands inland from the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea and south-west in Egypt. I certainly felt a kinship with the rites and rituals that kept women and their daughters to the tasks of homemaking for the boys and men in their tribes. Repetitive tasks of carding sheep's wool, coaxing it into fine even thread upon a spindle, weaving the cloth for the tribe, and for bartering by the men in the cities.
We are brought into the red tent of rituals that reveal more of the women than a resting place during their moon cycle. In the monthly rite lasting 3 days, beginning and ending for all women of the tribe at the same time, the darkest part of the moon cycle, women had a chance to exchange views and information they gathered while overhearing the men.
It was a time to plan for future holidays and seasonal events. And, we come to a greater understanding of the role of religion in the various lands, one of the cradles of civilization, at this time in early history
Without giving the plot away, we follow Dinah's life even before she is born, through her adventures, trials, fears and love in its many manifestations that compound through a life. At each stage we feel her feelings and champion her cause. It is a novel like that.
I highly recommend The Red Tent for all women, that we may empathize with the plight of women and culture at that time, but particularly for growing into a greater understanding of ourselves in the here and now.
Highly recommended!

The Collapse of American Criminal Justice

The rule of law has vanished in America#x19;s criminal justice system. Prosecutors now decide whom to punish and how severely. Almost no one accused of a crime will ever face a jury. Inconsistent policing, rampant plea bargaining, overcrowded courtrooms, and ever more draconian sentencing have produced a gigantic prison population, with black citizens the primary defendants and victims of crime. In this passionately argued book, the leading criminal law scholar of his generation looks to history for the roots of these problems-and for their solutions. The Collapse of American Criminal Justice takes us deep into the dramatic history of American crime-bar fights in nineteenth-century Chicago, New Orleans bordellos, Prohibition, and decades of murderous lynching. Digging into these crimes and the strategies that attempted to control them, Stuntz reveals the costs of abandoning local democratic control. The system has become more centralized, with state legislators and federal judges given increasing power. The liberal Warren Supreme Court#x19;s emphasis on procedures, not equity, joined hands with conservative insistence on severe punishment to create a system that is both harsh and ineffective. What would get us out of this Kafkaesque world? More trials with local juries; laws that accurately define what prosecutors seek to punish; and an equal protection guarantee like the one that died in the 1870s, to make prosecution and punishment less discriminatory. Above all, Stuntz eloquently argues, Americans need to remember again that criminal punishment is a necessary but terrible tool, to use effectively, and sparingly.

Half Time: Gateshead 2, Selby Town 1.
The second half saw a marked improvement for the homes side and four more goals were added to take The Tyensiders comfortably through to the next round.
Craig Baxter, making his final appearance before serving a three match suspension, scored his first for the season on 57 minutes. Captain Steve Bowey then made it 4-1 on 59 minutes for his first goal since returning in the summer.
Baxter and Armstrong were substituted on 64 minutes for Ian Robson and debutant Kris Gate who slotted in at right back.
Southern then scored his sixth goal in seven matches this season with his second of the match on 67 minutes, putting the game out of Selby Towns reach. Robson then made it 6-1 on 79 minutes to score his second goal in five days, both from the substitutes bench.
Full Time: Gateshead 6, Selby Town 1.

Rhoda Derry was very influential in the Illinois Mental Health Community at the beginning of the twentieth century. Her case brought about sweeping changes to the housing and treatment of patients in mental institutions and led to the closing of many Alms Houses throughout the state of Illinois.
Rhoda grew up in Adams County, Illinois. During her teenage years, she fell in love with a farm boy, Charles Phenix, who lived a short distance from her home. His mother, Nancy, did not want her son to marry Rhoda because of the Derry family's association with witchcraft. Rhoda's grandmother was rumored to be a witch and Rhoda's mother, Rachel, wanted nothing to do with "Old Moll", as the grandmother was known. Rachel convinced her husband to move the family away and this helped instill a deep fear of witches into Rhoda.

August 1, 1997
It's truly one-stop shopping for patients with cancer," says Tulane Cancer Center Director Roy Weiner of the center's new ambulatory clinic, which opened last month. "It's built for patient convenience on the one hand and also to maximize collegial and professional interaction on the part of the faculty on the other hand," he says. Physicians and staff moved into the new clinic early last month and physicians will see the first patients in early August.
The 20,000-square-foot facility is located on the ground floor of the Saratoga Street parking garage. The clinic contains 12 examining rooms, a chemotherapy treatment suite, surgical procedure and radiation therapy areas, a laboratory sub-station and the center's tumor registry. Also, the Patricia Trost-Friedler Cancer Counseling Center is also housed in the new facility.
"Previously, our clinics were scattered on different floors of the [Reily Pavilion] clinic," Weiner says. "Now, everything can be taken care of in one place. The patient can expect to find, no matter when they come to the clinic, that there will always be a medical oncologist, always a surgical oncologist and always a radiation oncologist in place, so that the patient doesn't have to go home and come back for another visit."
Currently, the 34 Cancer Center clinicians see between 500 and 600 new patients each year, and the center has a total of 5,000 outpatient clinic visits each year, according to Andre duPlessis, an administrative fellow at the Cancer Center. The new clinic was designed to accommodate a five-year growth projection of about 10,000 clinic visits per year by 2002.
In addition to oncology services already in place--which include specialists in surgery, gynecology, otolaryngology, neurology and urology--the new clinic will offer radiation oncology services for the first time at Tulane. Weiner says the new clinic will also enhance the center's academic activities.
"For medical students and house staff, this is the first time, no matter what specialty they rotate from, that they're going to be in a multidisciplinary environment," he says. "We also have a grant to have a social work student train in the facility. We intend to have nursing students at the graduate and undergraduate levels train here. It is an academic center that represents a teaching model that really reflects medicine to come, rather than medicine that was."
Mary Coniglio, facilitator of services at the Friedler Cancer Counseling Center, says the new clinic will expand her abilities to provide emotional support and education to cancer patients and their families. "We'll still have a group counseling room furnished like a living room to make it more homey," she says. "The expanded part will include a larger resource library and a conference room where we can hold educational seminars."
The resource library will house computers with Internet access, informational video and audio tapes and a library of medical journals and coping magazines. Formerly located in a corner of the hospital, the counseling center will now be more accessible to patients and their families, Coniglio adds.
"We can be much more efficient and much more individualized," she says. "Patients and families who need a lot of assistance will be able to be focused on. A family who is really highly developed in terms of their coping abilities may only need assistance occasionally, and we'll be easily accessible to them as well."
Weiner sees the clinic as integral to the research, education and treatment responsibilities of an academic medical center. "The fact that we were able to make the clinic a patient-friendly structure that also is designed to be efficient and pleasant for the physician makes me optimistic that our academic goals are going to be met here as well," he says. "Academics can flourish while retaining patient orientation. This is what differentiates us from a community facility."
