Good Evening, I accidentally smelled detergent last night while I was at the groceries. I was wondering what it was but I totally forgot about my nose. I am two weeks and five days post op and I am a little frightened that there might be a consequence if there is any. My question is: Is there any consequence smelling the detergent? Can I ruin the results or can I get an infection? My head is hurting right now, but I am not sure if I'm over thinking this and this might be causing my headache.
Smelled Detergent After Rhinoplasty Surgery?
Doctor Answers 5
Smelled detergent 2-3 weeks after rhinoplasty
The smelling of detergent 2-3 weeks after your rhinoplasty should not affect your nose and is most likely not the cause of your headaches. If the headaches do not improve, you should mention this to your surgeon and seek medical attention.
Smelling Detergent
Dear uluvme: It is very unlikely that you damaged your result by smelling detergent. Inhalation of certain chemical adulterants can damage your septum but this is usually after multiple exposures. Hope this helps!
Post rhinoplasty question
It would be highly unlikely that anything that you smelled what effect the results of your rhinoplasty. Your nose may just be supersensitive to smell following your surgery

Keep All "American Oil and Gas" Here in America

The Auto Channel
AUTO CENTRAL - June 30, 2014: With the Arab OPEC nations exploding, or in danger of exploding, The Auto Channel is calling for a temporary suspension of export licenses for all petroleum and natural gas products.
In spite of the record domestic production of oil and natural gas in the U.S. these past two years, the price of fuel has continued to rise for American motorists and the industries that rely on natural gas for power.
Just imagine what will happen to the price of gasoline here in the USA when the world price for oil and gas truly reflects the Chinese demand and a growing uncertainty for continuing production in the Middle Eastern OPEC nations and the upward pressure on prices of the available oil.
The "drill baby drill" scenario can get our support only when there is a guarantee that every drop of American Oil stays here in America.
As we all know there are no American Oil Companies when our domestically produced oil is sold across the seas to the highest bidder, making the "owners" of the land under which lies our abundant resource just another potential bidder for the monopoly that is oil. Even some of the oil industry's top paid supporters agree that all oil is controlled by foreign regimes (many that are enemies of the United States).
How can protecting the economy of our nation not be the prime focus of our bought and paid for Washington based oil sycophants.
Enough is Enough!
U.S. crude exports in April rise to highest level in 15 years
The United States exported 268,000 barrels per day (b/d) of crude oil in April (the latest data available from the U.S. Census Bureau), the highest level of exports in 15 years. Exports have increased sharply since the start of 2013 and have exceeded 200,000 b/d in five of the past six months. The increase in crude exports is largely the result of rising U.S. crude production, which was 8.2 million b/d in March.
To export crude oil from the United States, a company must obtain a license from the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Under export licensing requirements, the following kinds of transactions will generally be approved:
- Exports from Alaska's Cook Inlet
- Exports to Canada for consumption or use therein
- Exports in connection with the refining or exchange of strategic petroleum reserve oil
- Exports that are consistent with international energy supply agreements
- Exports of foreign-origin crude
- Exports of California heavy crude up to an average of 25,000 b/d
- Temporary exports or exchanges
Licenses for other exports of U.S.-origin crude are considered on a case-by-case basis. For such other exports, the regulations describe the characteristics of transactions that will generally be approved as in the national interest.
Note: 2014 regional data are through March. PADD denotes Petroleum Administration for Defense District.
Almost all of the crude oil exported from the United States has been delivered to Canada, and most of the recent increase in crude oil exports has been from the U.S. Gulf Coast (PADD 3). Gulf Coast crude exports averaged 134,000 b/d in the first quarter of 2014, a 283% increase over 2013's record high of 35,000 b/d. In the first quarter of 2014, nearly 75% of Gulf Coast exports have left the region from the Houston-Galveston district, in Texas. The remaining barrels were loaded in Port Arthur, Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana.
Exports from the East Coast (PADD 1) averaged 30,000 b/d in the first quarter of 2014, down slightly from 2013 levels, but up from 9,000 b/d in 2012. First-quarter exports from PADD 1 were evenly distributed between the Port of New York and Portland, Maine, which is the starting point of a pipeline that delivers crude to refineries in the Montreal area. Exports of crude from the Midwest (PADD 2) have long been a source of crude for refineries in Sarnia, Ontario.

Around 1:30 p-m, Thursday, a Reno County Sheriff Deputy was patrolling in the area of Yoder Rd. and Pleasant Valley Rd. The deputy came across a 2002 Chrysler mini van that had been traveling south bound on Yoder Rd. The vehicle left the roadway going into the ditch on the right side of the roadway and continued traveling southbound. It then struck a culvert before striking a barb wire fence before coming to rest.
The driver was 76-year-old Jacqueline Spencer of Haven. She was transported to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center by Haven EMS. A short time after arriving at the emergency room, she passed away.
Her passenger and husband, 77-year-old Marshal Spencer was transported to Via-Cristi St Francis Regional Medical Center in Wichita also with critical injuries. His current condition is unknown.
Neither of the two were wearing seat belts.
The accident is still under investigation.

Suits, Channel Seven, 11pm
A SNAPPY, dramatic and occasionally amusing legal series, what Suits lacks in ambition it makes up for in sheer watchability. The premise is simple - New York lawyer Harvey Specter hires the raw, callow genius, Mike Ross, even though he faked his way into a Harvard degree, and the two swiftly become an unbeatable team until Mike's deceptions catch up with him. After last week's excellent season two premiere in which Harvey's boss, Jessica, revealed that she knew Mike's secret, there is much manoeuvring tonight. A power struggle is looming at the firm, with former partner Daniel Hardman returning to the fray. As usual this episode positively hums along. Good, frothy fun.
7.30, ABC1, 7.30pm
CREDIT where it's due. This publication has been critical of the awkward transition 7.30 made from the Kerry O'Brien era. Put simply, the show lost its way. Audience numbers eroded steadily and what was once compulsory viewing for current affairs junkies became merely optional. The rapport between the two new hosts, Leigh Sales and Chris Uhlmann, was ungainly. Further, the temporary departure of Sales (maternity leave in late 2011) exposed further hosting deficiencies in Uhlmann. The arrival, then, of esteemed executive producer Sally Neighbour in February was well timed. Her appointment has coincided with the show's marked improvement. Yet it's the return of Sales that has perhaps made the most impact. Any nagging doubts about her potency as an interviewer vanished last week with her extraordinary interview with Tony Abbott. Like the best of O'Brien's work, the interview (available now on iView) became an instant pop-culture moment. The Opposition Leader has arguably been given something of a dream run in the broadcast media of late. Rarely called to account for outlandish statements or even an emphatic insistence that the introduction of a carbon tax would mean the end of the world as we know it, Sales finally pounced. As so many have failed to do in the past 12 months, she firmly held him to account. Her opening question: ''You were pretty loose with the truth today, weren't you?'' It was difficult not to be heartened - whatever your political persuasion - that Sales has finally emerged as a skilful, potent and dogmatic interviewer. Hopefully, this is a precursor to next year's federal election campaign. One thing is certain: we're watching 7.30 again.
Media Watch, ABC1, 9.20pm
DESPITE regularly serving up some of the most smartly written, well-researched and strongly reported 15 minutes of television each week, this bastion of accountability for Australian hacks still sometimes flies under the pop-culture radar. Sitting neatly in the ABC's at times earnest Public Affairs Monday line-up, the erudite Jonathan Holmes and his always entertaining Media Watch have enjoyed another excellent year. We have, as ever, relished Holmes' humorous and engaging chastising of Alan Jones and Today Tonight as well as rigorous investigations into more uncomfortable targets such as network stablemate 7.30 and News Ltd's scheme to save money on power bills. The highlight, though? His recent item on the frivolous-but-incessant coverage apportioned to the benign movements of Miranda Kerr by Australian TV news. In comedic terms, the Kerr video highlights package was up there with anything served up by Jon Stewart's The Daily Show this year.

WSJ: 103,000 vs. 1.1 Million – A tale of September Jobs Reports, 28 years Apart
Posted on October 9, 2011
Filed Under Economics, Jobs | Comments Off on WSJ: 103,000 vs. 1.1 Million – A tale of September Jobs Reports, 28 years Apart
Wall Street Journal Opinion Page
Yesterday's September jobs report was a welcome surprise, a signal that another recession may be averted. With 103,000 new jobs in the month and an upward revision of 99,000 for July and August, the jobs picture looks less bleak than it did a month ago. More Americans also started looking for work and the labor force expanded by 423,000, according to the Labor Department's household survey.

Steve Moore on the jobs report. Plus, studies show more Americans receiving government benefits and paying no federal income tax.
However, the unemployment rate held steady at 9.1%, some 6.2 million Americans have been unemployed for more than six months, and the economy is producing far fewer jobs than you'd expect in a typical recovery from recession. Over the past six months the U.S. economy has created an average of 72,000 jobs a month, roughly half the pace needed to chip away at the jobless rate. The hardest hit have been minority workers, with the jobless rate for blacks still 16%, Hispanics 11.3%, and teens 24.6%.
As it happens, the biggest one-month jobs gain in American history was at exactly this juncture of the Reagan Presidency, after another deep recession. In September 1983, coming out of the 1981-82 downturn, American employers added 1.1 million workers to their payrolls, the acceleration point for a seven-year expansion that created some 17 million new jobs.
The difference between then and now isn't the magnitude of the recessions but the policies the U.S. pursued to restore growth. In the Reagan expansion, spending and tax rates were cut, regulations were eased, and government was in retreat. Today, we've had a spending and regulatory boom, the threat of higher tax rates, and a general antibusiness political climate. Policies have consequences.

PORTLAND, Maine – Maine motorcyclists are encouraged to think pink and reserve a new Maine breast cancer specialty license plate in honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month and before they put their bikes away for the season.
It's crunch time for this exciting effort to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research and support through the creation of a Maine Breast Cancer specialty license plate for motorcycles – the first ever motorcycle specialty plate in Maine.Five hundred registrations for the new plates are needed by the time the Maine State Legislature reconvenes in January 2014.
The driving force behind the plates, breast cancer survivor and advocate Meredith Strang Burgess, said in order for the specialty plates to become a reality next year, 500 reservations and funds need to be in hand within the next few months.
"To gain approval from the State to produce the new plates, there is a formal legislative process that we must go through which includes needing to obtain reservations from 500 individuals along with a payment of $25, which will guarantee them a plate when they become available," she said.
On-line registrations for the Maine Breast Cancer specialty license plate for motorcycles can be made on-line atwww.mainecancer.org/
Strang Burgess who was also the creator of the Maine Breast Cancer specialty plate for automobiles that since 2008 has over 20,000 plates on the road and raised over $550,000 for breast cancer research and support, said when the motor cycle specialty plate becomes a reality, all the proceeds from the effort will stay 100 % in Maine, and will be split equally between three organizations:
- Maine Cancer Foundation's Women's Cancer Fund (www.mainecancer.org);
- Maine Breast Cancer Coalition's Support Service Fund (www.mainebreastcancer.org);an
- Maine Breast and Cervical Health Program's mammogram fund(www.maine.gov/dhhs/
A specialty plate costs $25 in addition to the regular motorcycle registration fee. Renewal of the plates will cost $15 annually with the cost added to the regular registration fee
Strang Burgess said on-line registrations for the Maine Breast Cancer specialty license plate for motorcycles can be made on-line atwww.mainecancer.org/

Music festival ready to make another splash
Saturday, Apr 05, 2014 06:00 am
April 7 to 17
Red Willow Community Church, Salvation Army Church and Community Centre, Sturgeon Valley Baptist Church, St. Albert United Church, St. Albert Evangelical Church and Arden Theatre
Admission: Free
Every year the St. Albert Rotary Music Festival makes a big splash. Where else do an estimated 2,000 young performers feature the very best of what they do?
Now in its 37th year, the festival might consider expanding its name to St. Albert Rotary Music and Performing Arts Festival.
The 10-day festival has always focused on music in its countless incarnations � strings, jazz, musical theatre, bands, choirs and light opera or vocals.
In a first of many, organizers are introducing a hip-hop master class at the Arden Theatre on Thursday, April 17.
�We�re trying to keep the festival current and attractive to young people in the community. Members of the board thought this form of dance would help to get a lot of boys involved, and hip hop is a contemporary type of dance that is relevant to both boys and girls,� says Maryan Threndyle, festival coordinator.
Current board chair Alan Murdock helped usher traditional dance genres into the festival in 2002. However, once Art of Dance closed its doors last year, the number of dance entries at the festival plummeted significantly, and organizers shifted to a more creative, contemporary approach, noted Threndyle.
Leading the hip-hop master class is Los Angeles based Kenya Clay. Born and raised in California, she has immersed herself in the West Coast hip-hop culture as both a dancer and choreographer.
Her dance credits include stints with Nelly Furtado, Black Eyed Peas, Willow Smith and a world tour with Mary J. Blige. She�s performed on Glee, at the MTV Movie Awards and the Super Bowl, and her career is just getting started.
�She�s been involved with so many big names, but she�s also interested in teaching and sharing her enthusiasm with young people,� Threndyle stated.
The festival kicks off in unison at six local venues. Red Willow Community Church hosts piano while the Salvation Army Church and Community Centre makes way for piano and vocals.
St. Albert Evangelical Church anchors strings and classical guitar even as St. Albert United Church arranges for choral singing. Sturgeon Valley Baptist Church presents musical theatre and the Arden Theatre is hosting all forms of dance.
�This is really what our festival is about � young people finding a voice and working together towards the performing arts.�
One of these young voices is Jacob Kryger, 15. The �cole Secondaire Sainte Marguerite d�Youville student is a multi-instrumentalist who makes a point of performing every year at the festival.
�It gives me a chance to play and get adjudicated on how I can do better. I can apply it (judge�s comments) to what I�m doing and it should make my playing better,� Kryger said.
A student of ESSMY�s rock and pop program, he also plays piano, percussion and guitar. When Kryger auditioned with Edmonton Youth Orchestra two years ago, he was automatically placed in the Senior Orchestra percussion section playing timpani.
As the festival rolls around, the young musician has rehearsed a snare drum solo, a piano pop piece and a contemporary jazz piece made famous by the great Oscar Peterson.
Last year Kryger won his first scholarship sponsored by SPT Drilling and it�s had a lasting effect.
�It�s showed me that all the work I put into it paid off.�
Everyone who participates receives a certificate of recognition. As well, organizers present $12,000 in scholarships and awards.
The top awards are the $1,000 Lyle Moore Scholarship, the $500 Rose Bowl Scholarship, the $500 Marsha Stanton Award and the $400 Elsie and Bill Filipchuk Bursary for Musical Theatre.
The awards ceremony is celebrated with Encore!, a live music event where some of the festival�s top talent display their skill and ingenuity. Colin MacLean returns as master of ceremonies.
Encore! will be held Tuesday, April 22 at the Arden Theatre. Tickets are $15 and are available at the Arden box office at 780-459-1542 or online at ticketmaster.ca
Kryger added, �I would recommend the festival to anyone. I always find it to be a benefit because of the adjudication and you get to perform. It�s an overall good experience for anyone.�

In this way, the artist shows possibilities, and at the same time makes
proposals that depend on the viewer's notions and expectations in order to
become "legible" in the first place. Thus, everything
could be done differently, if one only knew how. To this extent, the
typical fashion phenomena of "ambient music" and "ambient space" are,
in Rehberger's work, only apparently conditions of an "ambient art"
that shows how easily one can, with commitments to only one option,
move away from the centre ground of a clear statement or never come
close to that centre to begin with. On show in Karlsruhe will also be the
complete series Fragments of their Pleasant Spaces, in which Tobias
Rehberger has been following precisely this approach since 1996.
Each work in the series consists in an ensemble of items of furniture and of objects.

VA orders facility directors to regularly review scheduling
The directors at Pittsburgh and other Department of Veterans Affairs medical facilities will have to personally review their scheduling procedures at least once every 30 days, according to a directive handed down on Wednesday by Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson.
Gibson, who took over the agency after Eric Shinseki's resignation May 30, is trying to steer the embattled VA through a nationwide scandal over secret wait lists for veterans seeking care and charges that the bureaucracy shields its leaders rather than holds them accountable.
"Our top priority is getting veterans off of wait lists and into clinics," Gibson said in a statement.
The announcement says directors will have to talk in person with schedulers to ensure they're following VA policy. The announcement doesn't mention talking to veterans in person about scheduling performance.
VA public affairs spokeswoman Ramona Joyce issued an email response that didn't directly answer a Tribune-Review inquiry about the announcement's omission of talking with veterans. Gibson "has been clear about his view that veterans, veteran service organizations and all stakeholders play an important role in making the department better," she said.
Dr. David Macpherson, interim VA Pittsburgh director, will meet with veterans in addition to schedulers to talk about wait times, VA Pittsburgh spokesman Mark Ray said.
VA leaders met with vendors on Wednesday as they prepare to take bids on a new scheduling system. Last week, the House and Senate passed bills to make it easier for veterans to get VA-paid care in private hospitals if they can't get an appointment quickly, or if they live more than 40 miles from a VA hospital.
The House bill would cost about $44 billion over five years, compared to $35 billion over 10 years for the Senate bill, according to preliminary estimates by the Congressional Budget Office.
The Government Accountability Office noted that it's "not possible" to know how long veterans wait for private-sector care because the VA doesn't track wait times outside of its system.
More than 630 veterans waited longer than a year on a secret list at the VA Pittsburgh, the agency acknowledged. On Friday, Gibson suspended with pay VA Pittsburgh director Terry Gerigk Wolf.
VA leaders said they suspended her not because of the wait list, but because of a Legionnaires' disease outbreak at the VA Pittsburgh during which at least six veterans died and 16 others were sickened between February 2011 to November 2012.
An internal VA investigation found schedulers across the country manipulated wait times to make it appear as though hospitals met the agency's two-week wait time goal for appointments.
"Veterans must trust their health care system and these reviews are an important step toward restoring integrity in all our scheduling activities," Gibson said.

"I try to do the best I can to get my teammates involved, so they try to get my involved," Howard said. "If I have it going on the inside, they continue to pound the ball inside."
Howard went 12 for 21 from the field and had nine offensive rebounds, almost as many as Toronto had as a team (14). He outrebounded the Raptors' starting five (19-18) and dunked almost at will, scoring off what seemed like an endless stream of lobs from the Magic guards.
"There wasn't a whole lot of balance tonight, the ball just kept going to Dwight," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. "But, I mean, if they're going to give you layups at the basket, you're not really going to look for anything else."
Ryan Anderson added 21 points for Orlando, which avenged a four-point home loss to the Raptors in November. J.J. Redick scored 12 points and Brandon Bass finished with 10.
DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors with 16 points. Andrea Bargnani scored all 11 of his points in the first half as Toronto picked up its sixth consecutive loss. Howard earned his 31st double-double of the season and has scored at least 30 points in three of Orlando's last five games.
"Sometimes it looks like he's playing against high school kids out there," Anderson said. "Actually, all the time it looks like he's playing against high school kids." Gilbert Arenas said it another way: "Some of those young fellas over there looked like they were scared of him."
The Raptors were within four in the third quarter, but the Magic dominated the rest of the game. They led 73-57 after three and outscored the Raptors 39-15 in the fourth.
Toronto beat the Magic 110-106 in Orlando in November, with Bargnani using an assortment of inside and outside shots to confound the Magic front court. Bargnani had 27 points in that one, but wasn't nearly as effective in the rematch.
The Raptors opted not to double team Howard for most of the game and paid the price for it. He had 17 points in the third quarter, allowing him to rest during the final period. His one blemish was a 7-for-13 night at the free-throw line.
"He's good, we're not," Raptors coach Jay Triano said. "We're not a good rebounding team. It's a conscious effort to get it and we don't have a lot of guys that have a nose to go get the ball."
Bargnani also was blunt about his team's recent woes.
"We're playing bad," he said. "After every game it seems like we played worse. We have to find a way to stop this and play better."
NOTES: The Magic tied a season low, allowing only 72 points. They held Memphis to the same total back on Nov. 15. ... Toronto's Joey Dorsey left in the third quarter with a sore right knee. ... Orlando PG Jason Williams played after missing the previous five games for personal reasons.
ORLANDO – At times in Friday's one-sided, almost unfair third quarter, Orlando Magic star center Dwight Howard looked like the playground bully holding a little kid away by the head as he flailed away and hit absolutely nothing.
Time and time again, the bigger, stronger Howard would go up into the air and do as he pleased against the smaller, weaker Toronto Raptors. Anytime the Orlando Magic needed to pull away from Toronto, their big man would simply flex his considerable muscles and dominate the basketball game.
Howard finished with 31 points and 19 rebounds – of which 17 points and seven rebounds came in the third quarter – as the Magic rode the massive shoulders of their big man and breezed to a 112-72 rout of the Raptors.
``Coach (Stan Van Gundy) told us to go out and follow the word that I always say, which is `Dominate,''' said Howard, who made 12 of 21 shots, hit seven free throws and grabbed nine offensive boards.
How utterly dominant was Howard? Howard had as many points (31) and rebounds (19) as Toronto's starting five had points (31) or rebounds (17). And that was without even playing in the fourth quarter as the Magic romped.
``Some of the young fellas over there for Toronto looked like they were scared of him,'' Magic point guard Gilbert Arenas said with a chuckle.
``Some of the time – well, pretty much all of the time – it looks like he's out there playing against high school kids,'' Magic forward Ryan Anderson remarked. ``He's just so much bigger, so much more athletic and so much more talented than a lot of the guys in this league. That was impressive, very impressive.''
Anderson tied a career-high with 21 points, but 17 of those came in the fourth period after Howard had already broken the will of the Raptors (13-30). J.J. Redick chipped in 12 points, while power forward Brandon Bass scored 10 points and frustrated Toronto star center Andrea Bargnani, who missed 11 of his 14 shots and scored only 11 points.
The Magic won at home for the eighth straight time. The Magic are 17-5 at the new Amway Center this season. The Magic are winning by an average of 16.5 points a game at home. And the 40-point win wasn't even the biggest home victory of the season. They beat Minnesota by 42 points at Amway Center back in November. The largest home win ever was by 46 points in 1995 against Philadelphia.
``It feels good to have one like this after having a lot of close games in a row,'' said Van Gundy, whose Magic needed a last-minute four-point play and overtime to beat Philadelphia on Wednesday. ``Now, we have to go back on the road and do better than we did the last couple of games on the road.''
The Magic headed deep into the heart of Texas after the game for a Saturday night showdown against the Houston Rockets. The Magic beat the Rockets 110-95 back on Jan. 7 in Orlando.
Here's a look back at what went right, what went wrong and some final observations from the Magic's eighth straight home victory at Amway Center:

Asymmetric Price Distribution and Bid-Ask Quotes in the stock options Market
We present a model of the bid and ask quotes in the equity option market when option payoffs are asymmetrically distributed due to the limited liability of the option. We then provide empirical evidence for the actively-traded Chicago Board of Options Exchange stock options, which is consistent with the implications of our model. First, the bid and ask quotes are asymmetrical around the option value, with the value being closer to the bid quote than to the ask. Second, the degree of the asymmetry increases as the moneyness of the option decreases. Finally, the ask quote of an options changes more than its bid quote. An important implication of the paper is that the bid-ask midpoint is not an unbiased estimator of the option value, especially for an out-of-the money option. Furthermore, one should be cautious in inferring the trade direction from comparing the trade price with the most recent bid-ask option.

Is the December quarter an aberration or is Godrej Consumer Products Ltd seeing a structural shift in profitability? Investors were prepared for some impact on margins, on the back of an increase in advertising and promotion (A&P) spends. However, a declining trend in input cost inflation gave them comfort that it could spend more without adversely hit margins.
Against this backdrop, a 3.2 percentage point drop in Godrej's operating profit margin in the December quarter, versus the year ago period, is a rather unpleasant surprise. Godrej's advertising and promotion spends rose by a high of 61%—they had increased by 40% year-on-year in the September quarter.
Of course, the hike in advertising has helped the company maintain robust revenue growth–it reported a 25.7% growth in sales to Rs.1,695.6 crore, while organic growth (excluding the impact of acquisitions) was 19%. This growth in sales was accompanied by only a 19.2% increase in the cost of goods sold, giving it ample headroom to grow margins. But not only did A&P spends increase significantly, employee costs and other expenses too rose much ahead of sales growth.
The net impact was that its operating profit rose by only 5.8%, and a higher effective tax rate meant that its net profit (after minority interests) rose by only 3.1%. That is far from exciting, and especially low, given the rate at which the company is growing revenues.
The pertinent question is whether this is only temporary. A&P spends have increased to support new launches across categories and geographies. This is also visible in a sharp increase in inventory during the quarter, compared to year ago and sequential figures. Thus, the benefits of higher A&P spends may be spread over a longer period. And if sales growth steps up in subsequent quarters, A&P as a percentage of sales can moderate from current levels. Also, if the impact of declining raw material prices, such as that of palm oil intermediates, is reflected fully in subsequent quarters, gross margins may improve further, widening the headroom available to meet costs.
On the business side, in its domestic business, its household insecticides business is doing well, with sales growing by 28%, and growth in hair colours recovering to 17% from 10% in the September quarter.
In soaps, which contributes to a third of standalone sales, value growth is healthy at 20% but volume growth is only 2% against 6% in the September quarter. But margins have improved, according to the company. This was visible in Hindustan Unilever Ltd's performance too, and it appears that sustained price hikes are affecting demand in price-sensitive categories, especially when cheaper input costs may be giving rise to competition from the unorganised segment.
Its international business remains in good health, though there is a dip in margins, which the company attributes mainly to a base effect in its Africa business, though margins in other regions too declined (but by a smaller extent) over the year ago period. Apart from the soaps business, its business appears to be in good health.
Having said that, the December quarter results have made investors nervous as is visible from the decline in its share price, immediately following the results.

We make dozens of unannounced changes in every release, and I'm constantly worried that one of them is going to start a flame war. Google, apparently bitten by this problem, is now offering a "scheduled Release track" for Google Apps which will delay the release of features until they have been tested in the "Rapid release track." Is this a trend for SaaS? Is this something we need to do at Assembla?
In the 90's, Netscape changed the software release process forever by offering a "beta" version of their browser that had the latest features, and less testing. This would get picked up by early adopters (most Netscape users) who would exercise it.
Before that time, software releases were a big deal, they took a long time, and they were pitched as stable. That's important because big companies, who provided most of the money for software, have other, more important things to do than file bug reports. They want stable. They often refuse to upgrade. They may go so far as to keep horrible software like IE6 alive for a decade past its natural lifespan in order to avoid the work of making changes. But actual users are different. They apparently have more free time, and they want software that has ... more of the stuff they want.
If you want leading edge software, even in this age of the customer always being right, you have to do some work for the developers. As long as they are trying out new recipes, you have to be ready to taste the result, whether it smells good or not.
With hosted products, developers did away with the stable release idea and just started pushing out changes to their lab rats valued customers, and watched to see what the reaction was.
Once big companies get the upper hand again, they aren't going to accept random changes in their apps. Google is selling Apps for Domains to bigger companies, so they are going back and resurrecting the concept of a stable version with a published roadmap.
When you think about how many changes go into an iteratively developed product, almost any Web product, it's amazing how infrequently a change goes wrong. We have made thousands of changes in Assembla. I can only remember a few changes that were complete bombs. For example, when we added the google docs attachments, we changed the sequence for attaching a file, and the resulting clickfest was so annoying that we had to roll it back. Statistically, though, developers seem to have a good feeling for what is an acceptable change.
What Google is doing is potentially quite complicated to implement. SaaS apps are easy to upgrade because everybody gets the same code. Ideally, the user would get a choice of the "rapid" and "stable" apps running on the same database, which is a difficult trick to arrange. Google has compromised, by asking you to test the "rapid" features on different domain from the "stable".
If you look at their calendar, you will see that it doesn't give you much warning. As I see the calendar on March 15, they only have one feature predicted for the future - a new "Document list interface" for March 22. They obviously have a lot more in the pipeline that they won't put a date to. So, they are still basically dropping bombs on the unsuspecting.
So, the technology for providing a stable track is not perfect, but the big customers will demand it. At the same time, they want a product with rapidly improving quality. I'm curious to see how this plays out.
We have been cranking up the development velocity here at Assembla. Our own project is a great laboratory for testing ways to accelerate software development. The result is that next week's release, originally an innocuous bug-fix release to help us recover from the last month of big releases, has become a fat pack of new improvements. I'm ridiculously overconfident that people will like these changes (and statistics back me up). However, there might be a way to get some advice in advance of release. We could post screenshots on the blog and ask for comments, but we seem to get more comments when we post on Facebook. It's easier to comment there. So, look out for some new feature images over there, and let us know what you think.

Poland Syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Poland Syndrome is not the name you expected.
General Discussion
Poland Syndrome is a rare condition that is evident at birth (congenital). Associated features may be extremely variable from case to case. However, it is classically characterized by absence (aplasia) of chest wall muscles on one side of the body (unilateral) and abnormally short, webbed fingers (symbrachydactyly) of the hand on the same side (ipsilateral).
In those with the condition, there is typically unilateral absence of the pectoralis minor and the sternal or breastbone portion of the pectoralis major. The pectoralis minor is a thin, triangular muscle of the upper chest wall; the pectoralis major is a large, fanlike muscle that covers most of the upper, front part of the chest.
Affected individuals may have variable associated features, such as underdevelopment or absence of one nipple (including the darkened area around the nipple [areola]) and/or patchy absence of hair under the arm (axilla). In females, there may be underdevelopment or absence (aplasia) of one breast and underlying (subcutaneous) tissues. In some cases, associated skeletal abnormalities may also be present, such as underdevelopment or absence of upper ribs; elevation of the shoulder blade (Sprengel deformity); and/or shortening of the arm, with underdevelopment of the forearm bones (i.e., ulna and radius).
Poland Syndrome affects males more commonly than females and most frequently involves the right side of the body. The exact cause of the condition is unknown.

The government wants the subject removed so more time can be spent on things like religion and nationalism. But teachers say the move is a step backward.

Pia Toscano: Casey deserved to be saved by 'American Idol' judges
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 04/08/2011
Pia Toscano
American Idol
journey came to an end when she was shockingly eliminated during Thursday night's live tenth-season results show which determined the competition's Top 8 finalists.
Pia became the fifth finalist sent home from
American Idol
's tenth season after she received the fewest home viewer votes following Wednesday night's performance show. While this season's Idol finals rounds included the return of "The Judges' Save," which allowed the judges to prevent the elimination of one round's lowest vote-getter, the judges already unanimously opted to use the ability on finalist
Casey Abrams
two weeks ago -- rendering them powerless to stop Pia's ouster.
During a conference call with reporters on Friday, Reality TV World asked Pia about how she'd had "a feeling" she would be a member of the week's bottom three vote-getters and whether Idol
Jennifer Lopez
Steven Tyler
Randy Jackson
-- who all panned her elimination after it was revealed Thursday night -- had expressed any newfound regret about their prior decision to use their save so early in the competition when they consoled her after the results show ended.
Reality TV World: You mentioned how all the judges came up to you afterward and said they felt your elimination was a mistake, but I guess the ironic thing there is that they would have had the chance to save you if they hadn't made the season's other shocking decision to use "The Judges' Save" only a couple weeks into the finals. So did any of them express any regrets to you about the fact they had already used the save?
Pia Toscano
No. I mean, they said, 'We wished we could have helped you out.' But it was my time, and [
Casey Abrams
] deserved that save because he wasn't ready to go and it wasn't his time to go.
He's such an incredible musician, an incredible singer and beautiful person. So, it is what it is and I'm happy to have made it as far as I did.
Reality TV World: You've said you felt that you had a feeling you were going to be in the bottom three and that you had "kind of expected it." Could you elaborate on that a little more?
Pia Toscano
Yeah, I just go a lot on feeling and what's in my gut and I just felt strange the night before. I can't really explain it. It happens a lot to me. I have like premonitions sometimes, (laughs) and usually when I feel something, it happens.
I don't know why I had that feeling, because I had a good time at my performance. I don't have any regrets, so I don't know why I felt that way, but it kind of prepared me, however, at that moment. I just was so emotional when it happened.
Reality TV World: So was it before you performed or after you performed?
Pia Toscano
Well, throughout that whole [results show] performance. When I saw the goodbyes...
Reality TV World: I'm sorry, I meant the premonitions. I thought you said [they] happened on Wednesday before the live results show.
Pia Toscano
Right. The night before. That was after my performance. I said, 'You know, there's something -- I feel something weird.' So that was after my performance on Wednesday.
Also in the call, Pia told reporters whether she felt her attempt at a new uptempo style of song played any role in her elimination, how she reacted to fans' claims that they will stop watching
American Idol
as a direct result of her ouster, what type of album she would love to eventually release, and why she believed she may not have received as many votes as she would have hoped or others expected.
Why don't you think the home-viewer voters showed up for you?
Pia Toscano
I got asked that question a lot today, and I really don't know. There's no exact formula. You really don't know. It's funny because the night before, I had like a weird feeling in my stomach. I felt good about my performance. I tried something different.
I had a blast doing it, and I said to my parents, 'I kind of feel like I'm going to be in the bottom three tomorrow.' And they said, 'No, no. Be confident. You're going to be fine. You're going to be fine.' And then when it happened, it's kind of like I don't know, I kind of like predicted it. It was weird.
Looking back, is there anything you might have done differently in these past few weeks?
Pia Toscano
Absolutely not. I feel like if you make a mistake, it's just helping you grow. You learn from those mistakes. I wouldn't have changed a thing. I really agree with everything that the judges said to me. All that constructive criticism. I've tried to work on my weaknesses and I will continue to do so.
The judges told you to do something different from your usual ballads and you chose to do an uptempo rock song this past week, so do you think their advice is overemphasized when you only get one song a week to sing?
Pia Toscano
You know, it's nobody's fault and the judges were absolutely right. I needed to change it up, and I was looking forward -- I was really excited about this performance -- and I have no regrets going into it.
It was definitely -- It wasn't even that much out of my comfort zone -- because back at home, I was doing a lot of uptempo songs more so than the ballads. So, it wasn't out of my comfort zone so much. I had so much fun. I know I have to just get more comfortable onstage. I am a little shy sometimes and I do get a little bit of stage fright.
You have celebrities from Tom Hanks to Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi devastated over your elimination. How has it been for you getting all this support from all different types of fans?
Pia Toscano
It's amazing. It just helps me in this situation, like last night -- it's not that I was shocked or anything like that -- I was upset to be leaving the contestants.
I was upset that next week I wasn't going to be able to perform again. I was just trying to stay positive and know that everything happens for a reason. But to have all the support of a lot of celebrities right now and my fans, it's amazing and it's the best feeling in the world.
What sort of music or album would you like to eventually put out and are there any certain people you'd like to work with?
Pia Toscano
Moving forward, I would definitely go in the Pop genre with an R&B influence. I definitely want to have those big power ballads as well. I enjoyed so much working with Rodney Jerkins. I worked with Harvey Mason Junior, Ron Fair and I would love to work with Ryan Tedder and CJ.
What was going through your mind when
Ryan Seacrest
said you were eliminated. You looked right at the judges and did you wish in the moment "The Judges' Save" was still around for you?
Pia Toscano
(Laughs) No, I mean I was just really just trying to stay composed I was really emotional. It's sad. It's scary being up there, like you lose years off your life.
I felt like I was -- It was terrifying -- I feel like everything happens for a reason and I looked at the judges because I don't really know. Your mind just goes blank. I was in such a blur at that moment and I was just emotional. So, it was a hard night for me.
Many people think you had the best voice in the competition but a common criticism is that you didn't project an exciting personality onstage. How does that make you feel when you hear that?
Pia Toscano
Well, what a lot of people don't know about me is that I've been performing for a long time, but I do get kind of shy and I get a little bit of stage fright before I go onstage, which is something I feel like everybody can relate to.
It's really intimidating to go out every week, so it's something I have to work on as a performer, but I'm going to do so, and I'm going to make sure for the tour I really own that stage.
Do you think the fact that there were so many good singers in the competition affected the amount of votes you received?
Pia Toscano
It could have been. I really don't know. I know that I gave my all the other night and I don't have any regrets. I had a good time performing.
What was it like for you when you were eliminated and you saw
Jennifer Lopez
with tears streaming down her face?
Pia Toscano
I mean, that was tough for me because Jennifer has helped me so much and she's someone that I admire. To see her so upset with the outcome of last night, it just blew my mind. I couldn't believe it. It's not that I was in shock, I just couldn't believe that my journey had ended on the show. It was nice to have their support. It was really nice.
You had the judges saying it was a mistake you were ousted, but [
Stefano Langone
] was onstage when all that happened. So what do you think was going through his mind and did you say anything to him afterwards?
Pia Toscano
Stefano is a very good friend of mine. He's an incredible person and I feel like, I mean, the whole time I was sitting down with him in the bottom three, he was just saying, 'You're not going anywhere' to me. He kept saying, 'I'm the one that's going.' I'm saying to him, 'No, you're not going.'
He was just so supportive of me and I feel like he was so upset last night with the outcome of the situation, and he deserves to be in the Top 8 right now. He's an incredible talent and everything happens the way it's supposed to happen.
What is your response to people saying that fans may have forgotten to vote for you because the judges were being so nice to everyone? There were no discriminative comments to anyone, putting everyone on an equal playing field.
Pia Toscano
I mean, you really don't know. You can't really say why I got voted off. It could have been because maybe people assumed I was safe, maybe they didn't. Maybe because there was lack of a connection. You don't know for sure why things happened, but it did and it was my time to go on the show. I'm excited to see what my future holds. I really am.
There's a question of whether a woman win
again. We haven't had a female winner since
Jordin Sparks
and we've had only two women in the finale the last four seasons. Do you think because of the nature of the voting public that it's a harder hill for female contestants on the show and do you think a woman can win again?
Pia Toscano
Definitely. It's anybody's game right now. I feel like every single one of the contestants are extremely strong. They all have their own unique qualities about them that make them special. So, I definitely really don't know.
I could never say for sure if a girl's going to win or if a guy's going to win, but I know each and every one of the contestants that are in it right now deserve to be there.
Some of the contestants on the show got special moments like
James Durbin
's Hulk Hogan experience. But you and the other female contestants haven't gotten any moments like that to help bond you to the audience. Do you think that hurt you on the show as well?
Pia Toscano
I don't really know. It's so hard to say. I really don't think so. I feel like we all have our moments on the show, and you know, it's really, really a hard call.
Last week,
Naima Adedapo
Thia Megia
both thought the voting public was mainly comprised of teenage girls who vote for boys. Do you think that's true? Do you think that's why the girls have not fared well so far?
Pia Toscano
You know, I'm sure. I guess there are a lot of young girls that watch the show and vote, but I really don't know. I don't have an answer for that question.
Since you were the presumptive frontrunner, do you wish you had more of an underdog reputation to get more people to make sure they voted for you?
Pia Toscano
I kind of feel like I flew under the radar a lot throughout the beginning of the show. You didn't really see me much during Hollywood week and my first audition wasn't shown and I was okay with that, because I knew my time was going to come. So, I feel like not that I was an underdog, but I feel like I flew under the radar.
Do you wish you had been more of an underdog?
Pia Toscano
No, I don't really wish anything different. I feel like I am happy with everything that happened the way that it did. You know?
Steven Tyler
has said he thinks maybe one of the reasons you were voted off was because voters were jealous of you. What do you think about that?
Pia Toscano
Well that's very kind of him to say. He's an amazing person and to have him in your corner is really amazing. Especially in the situation that I'm in now, to have this support from the three judges, it's a great feeling. But you know, I really don't know. I can't really say.
A lot of people are asking me, 'Why do you think this happened?' And I really don't know, but I just know that it was my time to go and it happened for a reason and I feel like I'm going to have a bright future. So, I'm not upset. I'm positive right now.
Who do you think is going to win and who would you like to win?
Pia Toscano
I truly love every single one of the contestants. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I have a special bond with every single one of them, and it's so hard. You can't pick one because you truly just don't know, and I'm just rooting for all of them.
It looked like the medics walked you off the stage during the live results show. What happened?
Pia Toscano
Yeah. I was a little -- I wasn't feeling so good -- It was a tough moment for me. I was having -- while I was singing, it was very, very hard for me to get through that song -- I was just trying to take deep breaths and it just wasn't working out so well.
I was just getting very light-headed and I get a little nervous a lot, a lot of the time before I go out onstage. So, to be in the position that I was in last night, it was a bit much. It was a little overwhelming for me, and so I did have the medic walk me offstage and I had a little bit of a moment. But, they helped me out a lot and I'm fine now.
Can you see yourself doing movies or is there anything else you would like to do?
Pia Toscano
I definitely want to cover all grounds. I definitely want to do movies. I want to do commercials -- all that stuff -- musicals and everything.
Do you think you'll be able to watch the show from now on and be okay with it?
Pia Toscano
No, I'll be fine. I mean, I try to stay very positive about things and I love everybody. It's definitely a fun show to watch. When I'm backstage and I'm watching everybody perform, I'm like, 'This is a great show! This is awesome! I can't believe I'm a part of it.' So, I'm definitely going to be rooting for everyone when I'm at home.
What type of album would you like to record?
Pia Toscano
I definitely want to do Pop with an R&B influence -- definitely those big power ballads and those fun dance tracks as well.
What is your reaction and what would your message be to the viewers who have pledged they will no longer watch
American Idol
because you had been eliminated?
Pia Toscano
I mean, I thank everybody for the support. It is what it is and this show has opened so many doors for me. So, I can't really say anything negative about what happened last night, because I'm still a lot further than I was. So, I'm just looking at everything in a positive light.
But would you encourage people to continue watching the show?
Pia Toscano
Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. The show is great. It happens. Everybody's going to get voted off. There's only one winner. So, you just have to be positive about the situation and move forward. So, I definitely think people should continue to watch.

Ed Balls, shadow chancellor, has criticised Mervyn King, Bank of England governor, saying he should step out of the political arena and stop tying his credibility to the coalition's "extreme" deficit-reduction plans. In an interview with the Financial Times, Mr Balls drew comparisons between Mr King's stance and the backing lent by the Bank of England to the Treasury's fiscal hawks during the Great Depression.
"The last thing you ever want is for the Bank of England to be drawn into the political arena," said Mr Balls, one of the architects of Labour's plan in the 1990s to give the Bank its independence. "Central bank governors have to be very careful about tying themselves too closely to fiscal strategies, especially when they are extreme and are making their job on monetary policy more complicated."

Product Review
If you want a trainer with an easy to use electronic console with LED display and features a built-in cooling fan and water bottle holder to help make for a comfortable workout, the Sole's E55 Elliptical Trainer is a superb choice.
The Sole E55 provides a seamless natural motion with a silent drive system. The combined heavy flywheel and high gear ratio cannot be found on other models which means that you not only get a smooth feel, you can also amp up the resistance for a more intense workout if you choose.
A total body workout is provided by the dual action upper body exercise. One of the benefits of working out on an elliptical is that your whole body is worked, not just your legs.
You can keep track of you heart rate with the stationary handle bars that have built-in pulse sensors. A chest strap is also included if you want a hands free monitoring and interactive heart rate programs. Combine this with the heart rate control programs and you're all set for intense but highly effective heart rate zone training.
The oversized foot pedals give a more comfortable workout as well. They were designed by leading physical therapists and sports enthusiasts with Sole engineers. A 2 degree inward slope to the foot pedals reduce ankle and knee stress to lessen the risk of injury. For a more stable feel and reduced side to side foot pedal motion, there are 4 rear wheels which ride on heavy duty rails that can only be found on more expensive models.
Some of its other features are a stride length of 20", an Eddy Current Braking resistance type that provides 20 levels (upgraded from 16 in previous models) of resistance and 10 different workout programs. Of these 10 different workouts, you'll find 6 that are of the standard variety meaning preprogrammed, 2 that are user defined and 2 more that are HRC or heart rate controlled. It also features a 1 window console with a blue backlit 8X20 profile matrix that displays your progress.
Weighing in at 196 lbs, 27 of those pounds is contributed by the flywheel. This little monster can support users of weights of up to 350 lbs, It is powered at a standard 110 and is offered with lifetime warranty on the frame, 5 years on the parts and 2 years for labor which is defined as in home service. . This is the same warranty you'll find on the Sole E95 and the Sole E35.
And like every Sole product out there, there are cooling fans to ... keep you cool.
