It was a festive welcome home.
Mothers, fathers, spouses and loved ones gathered in a parking lot near Birch Street late Sunday afternoon waiting to greet the Marines of India company with the 3rd Battalion 9th Marine Regiment.
A multitude of homemade signs and banners welcomed about 117 Marines who had just served a seven-month deployment in Afghanistan.
Mrs. Chris West was with her other children to welcome and give a warm hug to her son 1st Lt. Daniel West as he arrived by bus.
�It was like we were on hold, but now we can finally exhale,� she said after greeting her son. �I�m really proud of all these Marines.�
Finally being home was a huge relief, Daniel West said.
�It felt like a long deployment, so I�m really happy to be back. My mom sent letters and packages, but there is nothing like actually being here with your loved ones,� said West. �The first thing I�m going to do is have dinner with my family, then maybe open a few drinks.�
Primary duties in Afghanistan were conducting security operations as well as facilitating the transfer of responsibilities from coalition forces to Afghanistan�s national security forces, military officials said. The group left in October of last year and covered a large expanse of the Helmand province during the deployment, said Lt. Oliver David, a spokesperson for the regiment.
Their arrival is part of a �larger piecemeal movement� that will soon see all of the regiment returned, said David.
"They were part of the transitional mission that�s been in Afghanistan for a while now,� David said. �The Marines were there in a draw down effort to bring back troops to the United States and to keep faith with the Afghan people while insuring that the forces become self sustainable.�
Base officials did confirm one casualty within the returning company, but did not supply any additional information.

Chefs Fight for Your Heart campaign is looking for heroes
The 2014 Chefs Fight for Your Heart committee is looking for hometown heroes for the Nov. 8 fundraiser at the Harrington Raceway and Casino.
"Heroes have a lot of heart," said Ludovic Bezy, a professional chef, "and our committee has decided that honoring heroes from across the state is a wonderful theme for this year's event." For the past three years, he and his wife Anita have organized the annual fundraiser that benefits the American Heart Association.
There are multiple definitions of a hero. One is "someone who in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness displays courage and the will for self-sacrifice for some greater good."
Organizations and the public are encouraged to nominate heroes. Categories that readily come to mind include firefighters, police, military, EMTs, and others who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.
"Everyone knows someone who qualifies for recognition," said Bezy. People can nominate their hero at www.chefsfight.com or mail in a 100-word entry to: Chefs Fight Committee, 1214 Voshells Mill Road, Dover, DE 19901.
The selectees will be honored at the dinner, which will include chefs who will provide heart-healthy food for the audience to sample and vote on. The event will include costumed superheroes, giveaways, a Chinese auction, a live auction, a mini-health fair, and a superhero dance-off.
The event is supported by Delaware Heart and Vascular, Harrington Raceway and Casino, the Delaware State News, local businesses, and individuals. Gold, silver and bronze sponsorships are also available, as are other special categories for this fun and fundraising night.
For more information, call 302-423-4387 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Creepy Craigslist Listing For "Young, Gay, Asian Waiter"
Posted By Ethel Navales On August 23, 2013 @ 7:51 pm In News | Comments Disabled
Most of the racist things that I come across online (and trust me, I've seen my fair share of them), typically create emotions of anger. While I can't say this craigslist listing is completely void of anger, I would use other words to describe this: weird, creepy, and uncomfortable are just a few examples.
Hailing from Portland, John is currently seeking "2 young, gay, Asian waiters" to help with "an over-the-top gay, costume party" which is themed "The Secrets of the Orient-The Year of the Snake".
Although he claims that this party will be "awesome", we don't quite see how having Asians as his party props will do so. The mere fact that he specifies that these individuals must be young gives us the jitters. And a costume party? We can already smell the troubling racial stereotypes that are headed in our direction.
There are many ways to celebrate cultures that are not your own. There are many ways to celebrates the gay community. But having young, gay, Asians act as waiters and serve you for your "over-the-top gay, costume party" is not one of them.
Check out the listing here [1].

A: Talk to your doctor or see a sleep specialist, who can conduct a comprehensive assessment and specializes in a variety of sleep disorders. Doctors can prescribe medication to help you sleep, but these carry risks and possible side effects. Studies on herbal sleep aids like Valerian and Melatonin have produced mixed results and also come with potential side effects and drug interactions. Before starting any sleep aid, always talk to your doctor.
A: If sleeping with your face in a pillow is a nightly routine, then you can develop permanent lines, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. And you don't have to plunge head first to get these lines; even years spent sleeping on your side can cause wrinkles on your chin and cheeks. The best wrinkle-free way to sleep is on your back.
How sleep saves skin
The concept of "beauty sleep" isn't an oldwives' tale. Experts say sleep does affect your skin and has a variety of benefits.
Using an antioxidant-rich night cream boosts this repair process. "If the night's work is done more efficiently, the skin is better able to protect itself the next day," Lise Jorgensen, vice president of global product development for Estèe Lauder, tells Notebook. Help your skin reach its protective potential with BABOR Advanced Biogen Night Cream. Loaded with antioxidants and moisturizers, it hydrates, encourages cell renewal and delivers a glowing complexion.
Tips for a good night's sleep
Many factors are crucial for getting enough sleep. Below, some advice to get you started, according to the National Sleep Foundation:
The morning after
Even with a conscious effort to get plenty of sleep, sometimes it just won't happen. Maybe you stay up too late, wake up in the middle of the night or toss and turn. Whatever the reason, your face will reveal all that exhaustion. For when your skin is looking less than luminous and rejuvenated, here are several products to replenish and revitalize tired-looking skin.

so i plan on building my first wheelset. i found the specs on the spocalc excel sheet on sheldonbrown.com - i do get the general idea but would like to make sure i am reading everything correctly. does it make sense that i would need three different lengths of spokes for the wheelset? i am pretty sure i can purchase the spokes in the quantities that i need, but a lot of places sell them in packs of 100
inputting the data that i think correct, i obtain:
289mm for the front wheel *
288 and 286mm " " rear wheel *
rims are ambrosio focus FCS 28. i see them in spocalc.xls (sheldonbrown.com) ERD is 590.0mm with 0mm offset. cool.
hubs are contemporary campagnolo chorus. i suppose these are the "Campagnolo Record OS" and "Campagnolo Record, Chorus, Daytona OS" on that spocalc.xls. i am looking at the correct line, yes?
* chosing as spokes "DT Competition 2.0/1.8" and a 3x lacing pattern (32 spokes) with "DT Messing 2.0 / 12mm" nipples on the dtswiss.com calculator.
quite obviously the lacing pattern will change the spoke lengths. but does the type of spoke change the spoke length? spocalc.xls doesn't ask for what type of spoke or nipple.
thanks! if you could confirm that i'm looking at the correct measurements for the hubs or prevent me from purchasing the wrong spokes...

The Lowdown on the High Line
by nycgo.com staff, 06/03/2014 [Updated 02/12/2016]
Milk Gallery. Photo: Will Steacy
West 14th Street Entrance, Meatpacking District
On hot summer days, cool off in the shade of the 14th Street Passage, a 4,000-square-foot stretch. It's near here that Tuesday evening stargazing sessions take place. Down below, take in exotic eats, fashionable boutiques and striking art.
Culture: Milk Gallery
This large Chelsea studio and event space (a former location of the MTV Video Music Awards after-party) also hosts an art gallery specializing in the works of photographers who document celebrity, fashion and pop culture. Expect all kinds of exhibitions—from photos of Andy Warhol's Factory to shows by up-and-comers from Parsons.
Dining: Spice Market
Jean-Georges Vongerichten's sprawling Asian restaurant, which first opened its doors in 2004, focuses on the street food the owner enjoyed during his travels in the Far East. The menu offers everything from charred chili-rubbed beef skewers with Thai basil dipping sauce to caramelized banana with spiced milk chocolate sauce. It's delicious.
Shopping: Diane von Furstenberg
Diane von Furstenberg is one of a number of boldface design names to have set up shop in the Meatpacking District. This flagship, a glass-fronted storefront with curving interior, is a fitting showcase for her iconic wrap dress, which she debuted in the 1970s and now revives every year in updated colors and prints. There's much more inside: bags, shoes, skirts and seasonal items (swimwear for summer, coats for winter), to name just a few.

Better-Than-Fried Okra
I used to think fried okra was so gross when I was little and kids in my school cafeteria would eat it dunked in ketchup. That's because it was fried in grease!
This version is coated in cornmeal and baked – it's got the best texture!
Okra comes in pods…
…Which you'll want to cut into bite-sized pieces.
They have a gooey, slimy inside, so don't worry you got a bad one. It's great for thickening dishes!
Dip those in a mixture of egg and a splash of milk
And then roll them into some cornmeal (blue or yellow) mixed with salt and any seasonings you like.
Spread onto a baking sheet
And bake at 375* for about 30 minutes, until they start to crisp and brown.

Who has fried okra at school when you're a KID?! Is that a southern thing? I'm from Maine… I probably would've hated it too at the time, but that's a different option! I like it!
- 3 May 7, 2009 at 9:29 pm
Fried okra is definitely a Southern thing And it's delicious! I can't wait to try this recipe.
- 4 May 8, 2009 at 1:04 am
yeah, fried okra is definitely a southern thing. they served it in my school cafeteria too when i lived in NC. i will never forget the traumatic experience that was biting into a piece of fried okra when i thought i was going to be getting a nice tasty mouthful of tater tot. i about near died.
and then our classroom aide ate the rest of my okra for me off of my plate. (i'd imagine that isn't allowed anymore…)
and then i didn't touch the stuff for another 20 years until i started reading kath's blog and she made it look so nice and tasty! now i love it! (not fried – but cooked up with canned tomatoes and sardines and then served over whole wheat pasta.) my, how times have changed!
- 6 May 8, 2009 at 9:27 am
I am from southern CA and always thought it was a thickening agent in soups. I will try this. As a native southwesterner anything baked in a bue cornmeal coating is tempting. Yum.
- 7 May 10, 2009 at 9:21 pm
I had this for dinner tonight and it was yummy! For some extra seasoning I added a little Old Bay to the cornmeal and it turned out well.
- 8 September 21, 2009 at 11:31 am
Oh these look delish!!! I've been looking for a good okra recipe! I will be doing a step-by-step of this on my blog Kath! Thanks!
- 9 July 14, 2010 at 6:40 pm
looking forward to trying it like this, i'm from sc and yes, fried is da bomb! so thanks for a way healthier option
- 10 September 2, 2010 at 9:59 am
i don't eat fried foods anymore :(and i miss fried okra. i'm going to try your recipe, looks delicious!
- 11 September 6, 2010 at 8:04 am
Am about to try your baked recipe for Labor Day gang. Sound great. Thank you.
- 12 November 1, 2010 at 4:42 pm
how can you make a vegan version? thanks!
- 13 July 15, 2011 at 7:20 pm
This didnt work for me with regular cornmeal. My husband fussed cause he hated I wasted good fresh okra ( our FAV) without frying in virgin oil….remember folks…good southern cooking can still be enjoyed with extra virgin olive oil…just call it sauté ing. I love, love, love fried okra so will try this one more time with the blue cornmeal…then if it is still dry, I am going back to my Granny Leach's fried okra recipe from Tennessee….with extra virgin oil of course…
- 14 October 17, 2011 at 8:38 pm
Ok I am going to try it out!! all I have are cornflake crumbs today- but they are yummy on potatoes too- so I have a feeling it wil be good! Thanks!
- 15 July 7, 2014 at 7:59 pm
These were cooked tonight using fresh grown okra from my garden. I am sorry to say that they were awful! No taste and too dry. I was disappointed to use precious limited okra in this horrible recipe. We threw the whole batch out. Sometimes fried gives some recipes their flavor.
- 17 July 14, 2014 at 4:05 pm
Woooow! These look yummy! What a nice healthier version of the usual fried okra. Thanks for sharing the love.
- 18 August 19, 2014 at 10:13 am
Made these for my 88 yo dad as he was craving okra and had been talking about his Texas childhood. So when I found some fresh okra at the Farmers Market I bought it and then came home and googled for recipes. This sounded so much healthier than frying it in oil. I seasoned my cornmeal with Johnny's Seasoning Salt, smoked paprika, and a bit of cayenne. I also sprayed my pan with EVOO. Dad's antique kitchen oven might not have got up to temp because I thought they needed about 45 minutes to crisp up. He LOVED them and between us we ate the whole pan full. Anyway they were more like thick okra chips! Hopefully I can get more okra (rare here) and make more. He did tell me how his Grandma made it in Texas…frying it in bacon grease or hog fat! I am sure his doctors would not approve if I made it like that, but for my Texas Daddy, this was a good, healthier, option, and he was very, very pleased. Thanks for the recipe!! I would not have even thought of trying this if I had not googled!
- 19 September 18, 2014 at 11:25 am
mmmmmm okra!!
- 20 August 9, 2015 at 9:46 pm
I was pleasantly surprised!
I cut the ends of each pod, but left them whole.
Salted and peppered immediately after taking from oven.
My new favorite way to prepare veggies! Plan to try with squash, green beans, and tomatoes.

Obama delays Planned Parenthood appearance
President Obama, who was scheduled to give the keynote address at Planned Parenthood's annual gala Thursday night in Washington, D.C., will now speak before a gathering of the nation's largest abortion provider on Friday morning.
White House press secretary Jay Carney announced the change in plans during today's regular White House press briefing. Carney said the president changed his schedule in order to spend more time in Waco, Texas, where he'll attend a memorial service at Baylor University for family members of the victims of last week's fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas.
According to some pro-life advocates, by delaying his speech from Thursday night's gala to a Friday morning session, the president might be trying to distance himself from Planned Parenthood amid the public outcry over the brutality on display during the ongoing trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell.
"President Obama swapping a Planned Parenthood fundraising gala Thursday night for an address on Friday shows that while he is certainly willing to avoid a photo of him at an abortion party while the nation mourns, he still refuses to distance himself from the nation's No. 1 abortion provider and an industry that preys on women and defenseless children as exposed through the Gosnell trial and other atrocities," pro-life activist Lila Rose posted on her Facebook page this evening.
Tonight the president and first lady will be in Dallas for a Democratic National Committee fundraiser. Tomorrow they will attend the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Center before heading to Waco for the West victims' memorial service.

Target Targets Your Cellphone
Your iPhone can now save you $1 on cheese.
Giant discount retailer Target announced on Wednesday that it was rolling out a program to beam coupons directly to customers' smartphones. The mobile coupons work just like their old-fashioned paper cousins: the checkout clerk scans them right from a barcode on your cellphone screen.
You get the coupons by signing up to receive SMS from Target, either at http://m.target.com or by texting COUPONS to 827438 (TARGET). After doing so, you'll get text messages about once per month with a link to a mobile Web page that contains multiple special offers for super-techie shoppers. It would work on any cellphone that includes a Web browser.
Target is hardly the first brand to experiment with mobile coupons – there are apps aplenty that proffer deals at local stores, and J.C. Penney has tested a similar effort in some of its stores. But Target may be just about the largest retailer to roll out this sort of effort in all of its stores. The retailer claims its advanced point-of-sale technology makes it the first national retailer with the ability to scan mobile barcodes in all of its stores. (The checkout clerk has to use the hand-held reader for it to work.) Target also has an iPhone app that lets people access gift cards, manage gift registries, browse weekly ads, and check product pricing and availability at local stores.
It remains to be seen how convenient shoppers will find coupons on their cellphones, as opposed to snipped out of Sunday circulars. And just how much overlap is there between the average coupon-clipping Target shopper and the owner of an iPhone?
Target spokeswoman Leah Guimond said the company doesn't have data on the penetration of smartphones among the retailer's shoppers. "We know our guests are relying more and more on mobile devices, so we're providing convenient, on-the-go mobile solutions to help them make the most of their Target shopping experience," she said.
Target's coupon effort is notable, too, for some of the elements it is missing. The offers aren't customized for you, and they don't appear when you are in – or even better, getting close to – a Target. Those are all features that the technology already built into most smartphones could accomplish. Target's Ms. Guimond said the company is exploring more personalization.
Still, Target's move is part of a wider trend: Retailers are hoping mobile technology can offer new ways to encourage shoppers to go into physical stores, rather than just buying everything online. Mobile coupons are just the tip of the iceberg. Last week's sold-out Shop.org Innovation and Marketing Conference featured a host of brands and startups talking about ways to use mobile phones in stores to lure shoppers to deals — and even to replace the employees who often aren't as knowledgeable about products as are their product listings and reviews on Amazon.com.
Wishful thinking, or the wave of the future?

In line with recent wave of racist incidnets, Safed student's car is vandalized. 'We're being persecuted,' student union representative Mahmoud Abu Salah says

Abu Salah reiterated, however, that the students will continue to study regardless of the disturbing trend. "I get phone calls every day from female students who are afraid to go outside after dark," he said. "I know that the police, the college and the municipality are doing everything to prevent the persistence of these events."
Police have charged a few Jews for some of the acts, and claim they continue to search. "Our investigation has a direction which may lead to arrests," a police official said. "We treat each event of physical or verbal abuse gravely."

Taking Care of Business Starts With Taking Care of Employees
Clearly, the recession has been a long, hard road for most employers, and the challenge of leading workers to the promised land of more favorable economic times is great.
But employers can significantly influence, if not control, how motivated and satisfied their employees are. Results of a recent national comparative study conducted by Quantum Workplace of U.S. companies during the latest recession found that 66 percent of the firms saw decreases in employee engagement. To explore the issue further, the company conducted an analysis of 210 companies in which they compared those companies with higher engagement scores with those companies whose scores had dropped off, identifying five key differentiators that reveal how some employers are improving during these challenging times while others are losing ground.
For example, the study noted, "While some companies may be cutting back on perks, others are continuing to find ways to reward those employees that are performing, taking care of customers and keep them coming back." A key category for doing this was through employee perks and benefits "that demonstrate a strong commitment to employee well-being." While some employers are scaling back such employee benefits, others are committed to helping maintain a positive working environment for those who work for them.
What kind of benefits and perks? These can be simple things such as a policy that allows for flexibility of working hours, enabling employees to better manage their lives in ways that balance the demands at home as well as work. Or being able to readily get help and answers to questions about health coverage, investments and retirement planning. Or even something as basic as a good cup of coffee.
Effective work environment incentives are impobecause they offer a simple way to remind employees that the company cares about them and their well-being at work. It's true that twice a month employees receive a paycheck for the work they do, but the feeling they have while they are doing that work occurs minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day—and that's where a lot of opportunity exists to let them know you care.
The link between valuing employees and employee engagement, satisfaction and loyalty is clearer than ever before. When employee appreciation becomes a fundamental part of the company's culture, it also becomes a critical competitive differentiator for the company as well. In the current competitive environment, simple forms of employee appreciation can thus take on a whole new level of significance and relevance to the organization and its mission and success.
A recent report titled Linking Organizational Characteristics to Employee Attitudes and Behavior by the Forum for People, Performance and Management at Northwestern University sums up the benefit of showing employees they are valued: "Employee satisfaction is a key antecedent to employee engagement. Organizations with engaged employees have customers who use their products more, and increased customer usage leads to higher levels of customer satisfaction. It is an organization's employees who influence the behavior and attitudes of customers, and it is customers who drive an organization's profitability through the purchase and use of its products."
It's true: If you want to take care of your business, start with taking care of your employees.

Recently I attended the iPinyou Global RTB Conference in Beijing, where many ad tech companies gathered to discuss industry challenges. While various publishers, agencies, and ad exchanges shared their optimism of RTB in China, there still exist many challenges in the country. I'd like to reflect and summarize the challenge of RTB/DSP in China in this column.
1. "One-stop shops" create lack of transparency in third-party data and DSP inventory
The first unique and ironic challenge lies in the lack of transparency within the DMP (demand management platform) data and DSP (demand side platform) inventory. It's ironic because DSP and ad exchange inventory is supposed to be more transparent due to different companies controlling only bits of the display ad tech landscape. But in China, many DSPs are a "one-stop shop" with their own DMP, SSP, as well as ad serving. Consider the following Lumascape in China:

There are only a few companies operating in the DMP space, and worst of all is that most DSPs use their own cookie data instead of the DMPs. Hence in China, we run into a situation of DMP data silos with DSP companies that gather data from their own ad network (AdChina), third-party ad serving (AdSame), or existing software (Tencent QQ).
Another transparency problem lies in the DSP inventory as many DSPs in China evolved out of traditional ad networks. For example, if you refer to the above Lumascape, you'll see that companies like AdChina, HDT, and Yoyi all have both ad network and DSP services. Hence, their DSP connects both to the ad exchanges as well as their own ad network inventory. So you'll never really know whether the inventory you've bought is from the exchange or ad network.
2. Big publishers release leftover inventory to ad exchanges, while building their own private exchanges
While many ad exchanges in China all claim that they have premium inventory from big publishers, the truth is that the majority of the inventory released are unsold leftovers. The premium inventory is sold directly to advertisers, or released into a self-controlled private exchange. Private exchanges such as Sina and Tencent contain only inventory from their own portals, and Tencent even built its own DSP on top of its exchange. Now this phenomenon causes issues for both advertisers and publishers.
From an advertiser's perspective, buying inventory from a private exchange is hardly justified. First, due to more "premium" inventory promised by the publishers, the pricing on private exchanges will be far higher than public exchanges. Second, with RTB (real-time bidding) many advertisers may have to pay even higher for access. In turn this model proves to be less cost effective and assuring than buying direct or through an ad network.
From a publisher's perspective, releasing inventory is a chicken and egg problem. The whole point of an exchange and RTB is to raise inventory value through bidding and buying audience behavior, instead of merely labeling an inventory "premium." Therefore, by releasing only leftover inventory into the public exchanges, not many advertisers will bid on it, so these resources will still remain low value. And if publishers don't see the value of public exchanges, then they will continue to wall themselves up in private exchanges and direct sells. In the end, this publisher behavior results in lower profit potentials from exchanges in general.
3. Marketers' lack of understanding DSP technology limits growth
This challenge is unique to China where many marketers still buy media based on "feel good" metrics like publisher reputation and gut feel affinity. The core issue here is the brand teams cannot go to a set publisher to see their own ad. The whole concept of audience buy causes apprehension to the brand teams because they have no clue where their ads are being shown. From my experience, demand generation and B2B marketers are more receptive to DSP/RTB than their branding counterparts. Because demand generation campaigns usually have a more well-defined goal such as sales lead or registration. Hence, DSP could become another media channel to measure this by. But from a branding perspective, campaigns sometimes do not have a clear action for consumers to take. Hence, without the back-end metrics such as conversion, it's hard to justify the "black box" buying method of DSPs.

Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
The Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry focuses on three critical areas of child and adolescent mental health:
We seek to understand both the biological and psychological causes of the many behavioral and emotional disorders of childhood and adolescence. We recognize the anguish of parents who know something is wrong with their child's development but do not know why. In recent years, there have been important scientific advances in genetics, brain imaging, pharmacology, neuropsychological testing and psychotherapy. Using this knowledge, we hope to unlock the mystery of brain development and how it goes astray. We will use this knowledge to develop better treatments for our patients in the future.
Clinical Care
While we eagerly await new knowledge from our research, we will not lose focus on the child who needs treatment today.
Albert Einstein once said, "If, in the end, you cannot explain what you are doing to others, then your doing has not been worthwhile." Our faculty commit themselves to sharing their knowledge with each new generation of health professionals being educated in our community. We educate our trainees to provide the best care they can for their patients and seek nurture their talents as future educators and researchers.

Many people get spray tans to avoid the health hazards of sunbathing, but a new study shows the faux tan may not be a safer alternative.
Dermatologist Dr. Leyda Bowes explained that a new study shows the compounds found in spray tans can cause mutations in cells and promote the development of cancers when inhaled.
Dr. Bowes said the compound dihydroxy-acetone could affect the lungs and other organs. The study involved live cells and organisms but not actual humans.
Dr. Bowes said individuals who get spray tans should wear protective undergarments, masks and goggles.

WASHINGTON (AP) - David Hilfiker knows what's coming. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's so early that he's had time to tell his family what he wants to happen once forgetfulness turns incapacitating.
"When it's time to put me in an institution, don't have me at home and destroy your own life," said the retired physician, who is still well enough that he blogs about the insidious progress of the disease. "Watching the Lights Go Out," it's titled.
Nearly half of all seniors who need some form of long-term care - from help at home to full-time care in a facility - have dementia, the World Alzheimer Report said Thursday. It's a staggering problem as the global population ages, placing enormous strain on families who provide the bulk of that care at least early on, and on national economies alike.
Indeed, cognitive impairment is the strongest predictor of who will move into a care facility within the next two years, 7.5 times more likely than people with cancer, heart disease or other chronic ailments of older adults, the report found.
"It's astonishing," said Marc Wortmann, executive director of Alzheimer's Disease International, which commissioned the report and focused on the problems of caregiving. "What many countries try to do is keep people away from care homes because they say that's cheaper. Yes it's cheaper for the government or the health system, but it's not always the best solution."
And dropping birth rates mean there are fewer children in families to take care of aging parents, too, said Michael Hodin of the Global Coalition on Aging.
"Very shortly there will be more of us over 60 than under 15," he noted.
Today, more than 35 million people worldwide, including 5 million in the U.S., are estimated to have Alzheimer's. Barring a medical breakthrough, those numbers are expected to more than double by 2050.
This week, the U.S. National Institutes of Health announced $45 million in new Alzheimer's research, with most of the money focused on finding ways to prevent or at least delay the devastating disease. The Obama administration had hoped to invest $100 million in new Alzheimer's research this year, a move blocked by the budget cuts known as the sequester. Overall, the nation has been investing about $400 million a year in Alzheimer's research.
But the disease's financial toll is $200 billion a year in the U.S. alone, a tab expected to pass $1 trillion by 2050 in medical and nursing home expenditures - not counting unpaid family caregiving.
Thursday, families affected by Alzheimer's and aging advocates said it's time for a global push to end the brain disease, just like the world's governments and researchers came together to turn the AIDS virus from a death sentence into a chronic disease.
"We need a war on Alzheimer's," said Sandy Halperin, 63, of Tallahassee, Fla., who was diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's three years ago.

I love stories. I love telling them, and I love hearing them. In fact, one might argue that my all-too-lengthy stint of online dating lasted as long as it did because I relished so much hearing new, personal stories from strangers.
In January, I had the honor of telling a story at Dixie De La Tour's event, Bawdy Storytelling. While I admit I may not have shown my parents the link to this particular story, I am proud that I got to take the Bawdy Stage.
Recently, Bawdy turned six, and I was there to help celebrate what I think is one of the most exciting and compelling storytelling events in the Bay Area. Tim Ereneta, a fellow storytelling and blogger, was also there, and he wrote an excellent article all about Bawdy. Yay, Tim! And yay, Bawdy! The show is happening again tomorrow (Wednesday) night. I will be there. Will you?
Maybe you could bring an online date. I guarantee that you will have a good time, and you are likely to walk away with a new story or two of your own.
If you are on the fence, you should read what Tim had to say about his experience:

Regardless of the failure everything seems to be working as intended.

When I attempted to manually import zimbraSSLPrivateKey I was given the following error:
[zimbra@mail ~]$ zmprov -l ms mail.domain.net zimbraSSLPrivateKey "`cat /tmp/mail.domain.net.09072010.key`"
ERROR: account.INVALID_ATTR_VALUE (zimbraSSLPrivateKey value length(3246) larger then max allowed: 2048)
Since my private key is 4096 bits, it simply will not fit. I think the field size limitation is what was causing the error with zmcertmgr.
How can I increase the size of zimbraSSLPrivateKey to fit my 4096 bit key? Everything seems to be working just fine, so does zimbraSSLPrivateKey even really matter?

Some dog rescue groups are urging their supporters to call their senators at the Ohio Statehouse to urge them to make changes to the puppy mill bill under consideration. Mary O'Connor Shaver with Ban Ohio Dog Auctions says she's been fielding calls from various rescue groups in recent days over an amendment that has been put in the bill by a senate committee. That amendment would make dog rescues comply with the proposed requirements in this bill. But in an interview with Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles, O'Connor Shaver explains the bill would not apply to smaller, for profit breeders.
O'Connor Shaver: "Clearly if you are a not-for-profit and you operate on an all-network foster network of homes -- and these are all volunteer driven -- you now have the additional regulation not only of recruiting and maintaining a volunteer foster network of homes, but they also have to be open to allowing personal information to be registered with the state and to ensure compliance with registration provisions that they would be subject to inspections. That is not going to be expected of a backyard breeder. So you literally could have somebody who is producing eight or less litters a year, selling 59 dogs or less a year, who will not be subject to any regulation. And they could be operating as a smaller-scale puppy miller, but yet the animal rescue, who is a 501c3, is now going to be tasked with additional regulation on top of an all-volunteer network and it's very difficult to really be able to maintain and grow an organization that is volunteer-driven when you now have this additional burden of regulation."
Ingles: "So do you think this could backfire and actually hurt the rescue organizations by people who foster dogs, saying 'Hey, we don't want to go through all of this?' "
O'Connor Shaver: "Absolutely. You are now being tasked -- volunteers that run these 501c3 organizations, many of them, the majority of them, do not have paid staff members. So they are doing this as a passion -- many of them work full time jobs. Now you are asking them to regulate, in addition to the regulation they adhere to under IRS guidelines if they are a 501c3, that it will clearly impact their ability to recruit and maintain a solid base of volunteers for their foster home network."
O'Connor Shaver says her group supported the puppy mill legislation when it passed the Ohio house. She said rescues were not allowed given the opportunity to be part of the process of the changes made in the Senate. She says those Senate changes weaken protections for dogs in puppy mills while making it more difficult for rescues to operate.

Potomac Highlands Restoration – Grant Program
American Rivers – EPA Potomac Highlands Implementation Grant Program
The Potomac Highlands region hosts some of most diverse and globally important resources on Earth, supporting more than 116 different fish species. But rivers and streams in the Highlands suffer from a long history of logging, mining, and dam construction. Between 2011 and 2015, American Rivers and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provided $1.67 million in funding through the Potomac Highlands Implementation Grant Program (PHIGP) to assist communities in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia in addressing these problems.
Funds awarded through the PHIGP focused on projects that foster local, innovative solutions to improve the natural resources and socio-economic conditions in the Potomac Highlands. These grants ranged from $150,000-$300,000. Learn more about projects benefiting from this program here.

How to win hearts and minds while building your brand online via #NXNEi
Day one of the NXNE Interactive conference kicked-off today in Toronto. While there were many sessions to choose from, it appears that the discussions that I attended fell into two categories: how to tell honest and authentic stories that connect with your audience, and helpful tips and tricks for building a brand online.
Honest and authentic storytelling wins hearts and minds
I started off my day at Kevin Airgid's presentation "Dog-N-Pony Show." Airgid spoke about how to win more business by using techniques that he learned while building his own client roster – with brands like ESPN, CBC and MuchMusic. The common themes throughout his presentation were:
- Honesty and authenticity is key to winning new business and keeping your clients. This means finding ways to save your client money where possible and being yourself when interacting with customers.
- Adding value and having a positive attitude will make you will stand out from your competition and help keep your customers happy.
- Be a part of the team. This means transitioning from being a worker bee that acts on behalf of the client, to someone who is in the trenches with the customer at all times.
Similar lessons can be applied to connecting with an online audience. The next panel discussion that I attended was called "Winning Hearts and Minds: The Human Element of Transmedia." Three successful Canadian digital content producers: Jill Gollick, Jason Leaver and Jason Gilmore spoke about their experiences in creating content for the web.
Gollick, the producer of the popular tween web show Ruby Skye PI, highlighted the benefits of being "much more connected to your audience online." The main character in her show, Ruby, often speaks to the camera directly – in a similar fashion to the famous YouTube show LonelyGirl15. Gollick said that many Ruby fans have shared their own personal stories and emotions about the character on the show's online forums.
In addition, Jason Leaver, creator of the new hit web series Out With Dad, spoke about how the audience actually participated in some of the character and plot development during the first season of the show. Leaver pointed out that in this case, the audience was connecting directly with the storyteller, rather than the character.
Building brand awareness and loyalty online
In the afternoon, I was lucky enough to get in to see Hip Digital's RSVP-only panel discussion entitled "Brand Loyalty 3.0" with presenters: Adrian Capobianco, President at Quizative; Francine Sternthal, Director of Product Management at Aeroplan; Chris Hardy, Strategic Partnerships at Sony Music; Jonathan Carroll, Music and Events Manager at Gowalla; and Lisa Charters, SVP of Digital at Random House.
The panellists spoke about how the music and publishing industry landscapes are rapidly changing in a digital world. For instance, Lisa Charters from Random House said that the "US book market will be 50% digital by 2015." As a result, the book publishing business is moving away from being B2B-focused (dealing directly with retailers) to becoming a B2C business. As a result, publishers are quickly changing their marketing strategies.
Music and book marketers are providing their content to loyalty rewards programs via music downloads and other offline goods redeemed in exchange for points. They are also working with brands to provide intagible loyalty rewards such as exclusive concert and story experiences, and in the form of virtual goods. Panel moderater, Brad Josling from Hip Digital proposed that perhaps Lady Gaga, who recently released some of the songs from her latest album on Farmville, is the new "Seth Godin of the Brand Loyalty 3.0" world.
The final session that I attended on day one of NXNE Interactive was with Ryan Holmes, CEO of Vancouver startup HootSuite. After dealing with a few technical glitches, as Holmes was speaking live via web stream from Vancouver, we were off to the races. He spoke about HootSuite has managed to grow their social media monitoring platform business to reach 2 Million users in just 2.5 years on a bootstrapped budget. Today, US President Obama and media mogul Martha Stewart are just some of the major celebrities using HootSuite.
According to Holmes, some of the keys to HootSuite's brand building success have been:
- Constant listening and responding to user feedback
- Providing support through Twitter and through helpful articles published daily
- Building and facilitating community through "HootUp kits" and translation projects
- Staying nimble and providing valuable security features
- Utilizing guerrilla marketing tactics like the HootSuite owl mascot and strategic event marketing
- Adding value through thought leadership – like this SlideShare presentation
Overall, day one of NXNE Interactive was pretty successful. I just wish I could have seen more of the presentations that were happening simultaneously. If you attended one of the other discussions at NXNE Interactive today, let us know what you thought.

My first question is if this is most likely a fit issue or a fitness issue.....
When I ride I definately feel too much weight on my hands, this leads to wrist pain. Not ulnar nerve but wrist pain from the weight.
It does seem to be improving as the season progresses, but I am not sure if it is just my wrists getting stronger/used to it...
I do tend to be a pretty high cadence rider avg around 90 and I don't usually push big gears much (my knees thank me for it).
I have been re-fit at 2 bike shops in the past year to see if it was a simple adjustment but was always told all was correct.....I am 6'2", 200lbs, 34inch inseam, on a specialized allez sport 62(might be 61 I cant recall and it does not seem to say anywhere obvious)
If anyone has thoughts I would appriciate the help, I am about to go out and start test riding new bikes....out of frustration.

Testing tips to spot app monkey business
Everyone knows that mobile devices can fall victim to plenty of monkey business, but there are generic "monkey testing" tips that you can use to be sure your mobile apps are in good order.
An article at Business 2 Community notes that "there are no hard and fast rules to define use cases for monkey testing. A lot of these test cases would overlap with performance testing or load testing or any other testing for that matter."
While the type of app and device affects the kind of testing, there are certain generic testing scenarios that users might want to try with their apps, the article notes. They include:
- Check the app response, when changing the device orientation continuously in different angles
- Check whether the app is detained, when dragging the screen to the top or bottom end continuously
- Check the app response, when tapping on the list item while scrolling the list
- Check whether the app screen is loading continuously without any data and network failure message, when there is network problem after the data call
- Check whether the app crashes, when scrolling the list up and down rigorously
The article offers more tips for monkeying around with your mobile apps.

Lyons, 53, grew up in Gary, Ind., in the Dorie Miller housing project, the fourth of five sons of a hardworking, divorced mother.
When I asked him about his success, Lyons started with his mother. All 5 foot, 2 inches of her was filled with determination that her sons would make it in the world, he said.

All of them did well, but Lyons is the only one who finished college. The difference is in the help he got along the way, and it is why the mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs has deep meaning for him.
"I have a passion for seeing people reach their full potential," he said.
There are 14 clubs in King County, and last year they served 16,000 children.
One of the tasks on his agenda is to let people know that the organization is not just about kids using a gym.
The clubs have three aims:
• Helping kids succeed academically through tutoring and after-school homework clubs.
• Fostering good character and leadership.
• And guiding children toward healthful lifestyles, including a little gym time.
Lyons was a member of the Boys Club (before the name change) in Gary.
The club was a safe place for him to be as a teenager.
Lyons learned about service there, and that there were adults outside his family who cared about him. That meant he had more people he didn't want to disappoint. The club was one part of the matrix of support that began with his mother.
His academic success started with a preschool program. Lyons said attending that program made a large part of the difference between him and his brothers. Lyons arrived at kindergarten more ready to succeed.
In high school he switched to a vocational-technical school like his brothers had, but a counselor saw his grades, all A's, and steered him back to comprehensive high school.
Then, through Upward Bound, he began taking courses at Purdue University, where he went on to earn a bachelor of science degree. He got his MBA at Pepperdine.
Lyons has worked to give back to young people at each of the life stages in which he was given help.
At first, though, he saw it as "eating my broccoli" — that thing you do because you're supposed to.
Lyons started at McDonnell Douglas before it became part of Boeing, moving from operations, to marketing, to human resources.
The company asked him to participate in a program to keep kids in school in Los Angeles. (His wife taught in L.A. public schools.)
He agreed to eat his broccoli and discovered he liked the taste.
Lyons left Boeing and worked at INROADS in Los Angeles for six years. That program develops talented, underserved youth and places them in business and industry. "I was in love," he said. He was picked to start a branch in Orange County, then came to Seattle to run the branch here.
Lyons went back to the business world to lead Washington Mutual's diversity and inclusion efforts but returned to nonprofit work when the company downsized.
He served as executive director of Rainier Scholars from 2005 to 2009.
In 2009, Lyons became director of partnerships at the Talaris Institute, which helps parents maximize their children's social and emotional development from birth to age 5.
He'll be introduced to the public as the face of the Boys & Girls Clubs, at an annual breakfast April 4. That will include urging people to open their wallets, something he said he actually enjoys.
For him it's about approaching people and "connecting their heart to the mission."
Ultimately, that mission will "create leaders who are going to do that for the next generation."
He is a prime example of that.

Greetings All,
I have taken on the task of assisting American Diabetes Association in raising funds .The ADA Research Funding program is designed to complement the National Institutes of Health (NIH) diabetes research program by supporting new investigators and new research ideas. With support from ADA, investigators are often able to prove that their ideas are solid enough to get more substantial funding from the United States federal government
Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles.
There are 20.8 million children and adults in the United States, or 7% of the population, who have diabetes. While an estimated 14.6 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 6.2 million people (or nearly one-third) are unaware that they have the disease.
Please visit my site http://tour.diabetes.org/site/TR?pg=...365&px=3127915
No matter how small or large, your generous gift will help improve the lives of more than 20 million Americans who suffer from diabetes, in the hope that future generations can live in a world without this disease. Together, we can all make a difference!
Now you can make a difference in the lives millions of Americans suffering from diabetes.

Movie review: 'The Purge' relies on Halloween funhouse frights
It's America in 2022, and "the New Founding Fathers" are in charge. They've instituted a system of social engineering that's virtually eradicated unemployment and violent crime, and, yet, recognizing the darker side of human nature, they've set aside one night each year in which the populace is allowed a bloody, cathartic venting of anarchy and murderous rage.
That's the unlikely – nay, utterly preposterous – premise of "The Purge," writer-director James DeMonaco's hazily satirical, sci-fi home invasion thriller whose one big idea is buried beneath a clumsy onslaught of genre clichés and tired old fright-movie tactics.
Following the well-trod path of several better movies, from Sam Peckinpah's classic "Straw Dogs" to John Carpenter's "Assault On Precinct 13" (which DeMonaco remade in 2005 with Ethan Hawke starring), this film starts with a pretty good idea – that even in well-ordered, security-obsessed suburbia, we're never as safe as we hope to be.
But when the lights go out and the bloody-minded crazies emerge from the night, DeMonaco's tale quickly stumbles and loses its way.
Purge night is the one government-sanction night of the year when people are allowed, actually urged, to indulge their vilest impulses. With certain restrictions limiting weapons of mass destruction and protecting higher ups in the government, people are encouraged to take to the streets to plunder, burn, maraud, rape and kill as they please – with no fear of repercussion.
Of course, this being America, the one-percenters such as James Sandin (Hawke) and his family – wife Mary (Lena Headey), older daughter Zoey (Adelaide Kane) and younger son Charlie (Max Burkholder) – are free to lock themselves in their McMansions, arm their high-tech security systems and wait out the mayhem.
Convenient for the nouveau riche Sandins because dad made his money selling state-of-the-art computerized security systems to skittish homeowners.
But as the crazies take to the streets, things go quickly awry at the Sandin house when Zoey's wayward boyfriend violates the security system and sensitive Charlie spots a homeless man running for his life from some rampaging preppies and opens the barred doors to let the poor man in.
Next thing they know, the Sandins are besieged by murderous gang of rich kids (wielding deadly implements and wearing fright makes, no less) who demand that John turn over the homeless man or they'll take out the bloodlust on his family. That's when Hawke butches up and morphs into action-movie mode.
What follows is a murky and rather pro forma series of eerie-creepy fright moments – nervous tiptoes down dark corridors, sudden starts, lurking shadows, things that go bump in the night. None of which particularly matters because the story rests on such a nutty premise and violates its own internal logic so many times that pretty soon you feel as though you're just wandering through one of those kitschy Halloween funhouses from one shock to another.
Any allegory or satire that DeMonaco aspired to – concerning the fragility of social order or the illusion of techno-safety – is finally purged in "The Purge's" doggedly predictable pursuit of manufactured, claustrophobic terror.
- Dennis King
"The Purge"
2 stars
Starring: Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Adelaide Kane, Max Burkholder

i don't get it either...
I seriously doubt anyone knows what we're doing.
kg could put names in a hat and pick them out and video it
then we could find out our valentines and i dont know the rest! woo
or someone random could just pick them out of a hat then PM the people they are valentined with
it's pretty damed wacky
kelsh should do it because she was the one to come up with the idea in the first place
yeah true she should do it
so who's involved, everyone, whoever kelsh chooses, or whoever volunteers?
the pressure's on you Kelsh
why hat when you could just use http://www.random.org, give everyone a number, randomize it using that script and then put 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, etc together
sure. and everyone involved would be cool because some older members could end up with someone like bryan or pokemon proffessor mike
and that would be funny
Im up for it. Do I have to come out of my closet for this one?
I guess so
Where have you been lately, DSX? The boards seem so quiet without you
Actually it would be quiet even if I was around. :P
I just try to do my part tis all.
No, the board's not quite the same without your burns and sarcastic comments. I miss them.
It just hasnt come up. The fire has been put out as of late.
This wont happen. to much work.
im sure theres at least one person willing to get off their ass and start doing this thing
It would be great if it did manage to happen. Its suspenseful to say the least.
i'll do it if no one else will
you'll probably end up having to :-/
Ok, it's settled then. Eve does all the work.
I could do it
I'd need a list of people who're up for this though
CL will do it

Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' and Quentin Tarantino directed 'Django Unchained' have topped the list of most pirated movies of 2013.
With over eight million downloads the first Hobbit leads our list of most-shared movies on BitTorrent networks in 2013, according to TorrentFreak, which compiled the list.
'Django Unchained' and 'Fast And Furious 6' closely follow by coming in at second and third place respectively.
Fourth and fifth place is occupied by Daniel-Day Lewis's 'Iron Man 3' and 'Silver Linings Playbook'.
Other movies which made it to the list are 'Star Trek Into Darkness', 'Gangster Sqad', 'Now You See Me', Hangover 3' and Brad Pitt starrer 'World War Z'.
The top ten list has few surprising snubs with top grosser 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' is and 'Man of Steel' failing to make the cut.

Breaking Up With Facebook Ain't So Hard To Do According To Eat24by Ron Callari
Ever consider leaving Facebook? Heck, the Millennials are bailing in droves. But when push comes to shove and it's time to put the pedal to the metal, how many of us would actually pull the trigger? Well, there is one brave band of renegades who have not only set the bar fairly high as to how to cut those ties - but also how to read the riot act to the founding fathers while walking out of the door.
Technically It's A 'Cold War' For Google & Facebook In Era Of Disruptionby Ron Callari
It's hard to say, looking twenty to thirty years into the future, just how different the digital landscape will look. Semantic Technology, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Web 3.0 are presently only toddling along in their infant stage. What they will look like in the next few decades is only guesswork on our part.
Taking Stock In Facebook May Virtually Have Nothing To Do With Facebookby Ron Callari
Facebook's unprecedented recent $19 billion acquisition of WhatsApp helped bolster the social networks' stock price 158% over the past year. In my recent blog post, "WhatsApp With Facebook's Stock?…" FB moved from $25 in February, 2013 to $70 one year later on February 26, 2014. However in acquiring the virtual reality software startup Oculus Rift this week for $2 billion, not all analysts agree that the stock market is pleased with. . .
Teleportation In, Twitter Out In Turkey - Where Is Olivia Pope When You Need Her?by Ron Callari
For a Prime Minister who's embraced technology more so than other national leaders of sovereign states, one's hard pressed to sympathize with a man who chose to ban Twitter to cover up a political scandal. The disruption and "going dark" incident sparked public fury and outrage. . .
Hands-Up For Facial Recognition With Facebook, TV Shows & FBIby Ron Callari
If you're a TV junkie like myself who gravitates towards fast-paced high-stakes thrillers in this new Golden Age of television, you most likely have also been schooled on the new lexicon of terms used to solve cases. Ever since the award-winning FX series Damages first premiered in 2007 with intricate plot twists, red herrings, foreshadowing and nonlinear narratives. . .
Cyber Berkut & The Ukrainian Cyber Warby Ron Callari
As the Ukrainian Spring has escalated and boiled over with the Crimea vote for succession from the Ukraine, it's now clear these altercations are not only land-based. A group calling themselves the 'Cyber Berkut' have also gone digital to attack their opponents in cyberspace.

Silicon Valley's Journey From Reality To Scripted TVby Ron Callari

Is Bitcoin's Founder 'Satoshi Nakamoto' Keyser Söze? [UPDATED]by Ron Callari
've been fascinated with the idea of a Satoshi Nakamoto ever since I began researching the Deep Web where Bitcoin's alleged illegal transactions have run rampant. In my post, "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Bitcoins But Were Too Broke To Ask," I compared his anonymity to the villainous fictional character Keyser Söze from the hit movie, "The Ususal Suspects."
Hitler & Putin Mashup Of 'Putler' Becomes Ominous Social Media Monikerby Ron Callari
While today's emphasis on all-things-celebrity seems at times all-consuming, the mashups of certain couples' names have entered our lexicon, dating all the way back to the ill-fated relationship of "Bennifer" [Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez]. Others like "Brangelina" [Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie] have stood the test of time, while the dubbing of the would-be coupling of "Kimye" [Kim Kardashian & Kanye West] portends a short-lived hook-up. On a much more somber note, combining the names of Hitler and Putin - to 'Putler'. . .
Samsung and LG Will Help People Be Healthier With New Smartphones and Fitness Technologyby Samantha Pankey
Samsung and LG pair fitness technology with their new smartphones. In recent years, we have see the rise in fitness technology, like heart rate monitors and fitbands. Now smartphone companies are getting involved. The Samsung Galaxy S5 and LG G Flex will soon release their own fitness gadgets. By marketing fitness technology with smartphones, more people are being exposed to technology that facillitates an active lifestyle.
WhatsApp With Facebook's Stock? A Case Of If You Can't Beat'em, Buy'emby Ron Callari

Eterni.Me - Online Communication With Loved Ones From Beyond The Graveby Beth Graddon-Hodgson
It might be morbid and upsetting, but the death industry has always been killing the competition (pun intended) because of the simple fact that everyone on the planet will die. There is no other industry that caters to a basic need of the entire world population. Admittedly, some of the businesses in the industry, and the services that they offer, won't appeal to everyone; but they do demonstrate that creativity in business isn't dead. The latest business in the industry is futuristic, and takes memorializing to a whole new level.
Linkify Harnesses Semantic Technology For On-The-Go Small Businesses & Smartphonesby Ron Callari
Time is of the essence when running a small business -- particularly when each staff member [whether he or she is the founder or its sales agent] is often required to wear many hats, juggle multiple disciplines and multi-task on an ongoing-basis. Add travel and out-of-the-office business engagements to the mix...

what is currently the best email "address handling approach" if a group of e.g. 10 persons (w/o admin right) should be able to edit/add/delete a common base of email-addresses and address groups?
Maybe it's of importance to know, that evey user should be able to copy email to the mbox of all other users.

There were protesters outside on the property of the Music Center, the security was inadequate and they weren't evicted from the property. He only spoke for may 1/2 hour and the secret service was constantly on the job. Someone yelled from the balcony at him and the secuirty people went into action. It was too frightening to stayfor the questions, so we and many others left. Not your fauly. Who was to know.
As President of Mexico from 2000 to 2006, Vicente Fox is credited with playing a vital role in Mexico's democratization, and with strengthening the country's economy. During his tenure he succeeded in controlling inflation and interest rates, and in achieving the lowest unemployment rate in all of Latin America.
