DUBLIN, Ohio, Aug. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardinal Health today reported earnings for its fiscal 2014 fourth quarter and year-end.
Fourth-quarter fiscal year 2014 revenue was $22.9 billion, down 10 percent from the prior fiscal year. Fourth-quarter revenue was up 12 percent excluding the impact of the Walgreens contract expiration. Non-GAAP operating earnings for the fourth quarter were $461 million. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations were $0.83, an increase of 5 percent. On a GAAP basis, operating earnings and diluted EPS from continuing operations for the fourth quarter were $387 million and $0.68, respectively, compared with a loss of $442 million and $1.72, respectively, in the prior-year quarter. GAAP results in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 reflected a goodwill impairment charge associated with the company's nuclear division.
Fiscal year 2014 revenue was $91.1 billion. Non-GAAP operating earnings increased 4 percent to $2.1 billion, and non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations increased 3 percent to $3.84. On a GAAP basis, operating earnings and diluted EPS from continuing operations for fiscal year 2014 were $1.9 billion and $3.37, respectively, an increase of 89 percent and 247 percent, respectively, from the prior fiscal year.
"I am extremely proud of the progress we made in a year of transition for both Cardinal Health and the health care system. The organization more than met the challenge, reporting strong performance in non-GAAP operating earnings, EPS, operating cash flow and cash returned to shareholders," said George Barrett, chairman and chief executive officer of Cardinal Health.
"We made significant progress on our strategic priorities: launching the largest generic purchasing entity in the U.S. through our joint venture with CVS Caremark, expanding our position and capabilities in specialty, substantially increasing our line of consumable medical products, taking significant steps to enhance our program on physician preference items in both cardiovascular and orthopedics, enlarging our footprint in the home, and showing continued strong growth in China."
In fiscal year 2014, the company generated $2.5 billion in operating cash flow and returned $1.1 billion to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.
Barrett continued, "We enter fiscal year 2015 well-positioned to address the needs of a rapidly changing health care system. Our fiscal year 2015 outlook for non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations is $4.10 to $4.30."

Pharmaceutical Segment
Fourth-quarter revenue for the Pharmaceutical segment decreased 12 percent to $20.1 billion, and segment profit decreased 5 percent to $377 million. The decrease in both segment revenue and profit was due to the continuing impact of the expiration of the Walgreens contract.
Excluding the impact of Walgreens, fourth-quarter revenue for the Pharmaceutical segment grew 13 percent, driven by organic sales growth, growth in the company's Specialty Solutions division, and China. The impact of the Walgreens contract expiration on segment profit was partially offset by strong performance under generic programs.
For the full year, revenue for the Pharmaceutical segment decreased 12 percent to $80.1 billion, and segment profit increased 1 percent to $1.7 billion.

Fourth-quarter revenue for the Medical segment increased 4 percent to $2.8 billion, driven by growth in existing customers, including solid growth in strategic hospital network accounts, and acquisitions. Segment profit decreased 8 percent to $96 million, primarily due to a year-over-year increase in enterprise incentive compensation and market pressures in Canada.

Fosamprenavir is an antiviral medicine that prevents human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cells from multiplying in your body.
Fosamprenavir is used to treat HIV, which causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Fosamprenavir is for use in adults and children who are at least 4 weeks old. This medicine is not a cure for HIV or AIDS.
Fosamprenavir may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Some medicines can cause unwanted or dangerous effects when used with fosamprenavir. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all medicines you use now, and any medicine you start or stop using.
You should not use fosamprenavir if you are allergic to it.
There are certain medicines that can cause life-threatening drug interactions with fosamprenavir, and should not be used at the same time. Your doctor may need to change your treatment plan if you use any of the following drugs:
To make sure fosamprenavir is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
It is not known whether fosamprenavir will harm an unborn baby. However, HIV can be passed to your baby if you are not properly treated during pregnancy. Take all of your HIV medicines as directed to control your infection. Tell your doctor if you become pregnant.
Your name may need to be listed on an antiviral pregnancy registry when you start using this medicine.
Fosamprenavir can make birth control pills less effective. Taking fosamprenavir together with ritonavir and also using birth control pills can increase your risk of abnormal liver function tests. Ask your doctor about using non hormonal birth control (condom, diaphragm with spermicide) to prevent pregnancy.
Women with HIV or AIDS should not breast-feed a baby. Even if your baby is born without HIV, the virus may be passed to the baby in your breast milk.
Fosamprenavir should not be given to an infant younger than 4 weeks (28 days) old.
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop taking fosamprenavir and call your doctor at once if you have:
Fosamprenavir may increase your risk of certain infections or autoimmune disorders by changing the way your immune system works. Symptoms may occur weeks or months after you start treatment with fosamprenavir. Tell your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of fosamprenavir may include:
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Taking this medication will not prevent you from passing HIV to other people. Do not have unprotected sex or share razors or toothbrushes. Talk with your doctor about safe ways to prevent HIV transmission during sex. Sharing drug or medicine needles is never safe, even for a healthy person.
Many drugs can interact with fosamprenavir, and some drugs should not be used together. Not all possible interactions are listed here. Tell your doctor about all your current medicines and any you start or stop using, especially:
This list is not complete and many other drugs can interact with fosamprenavir. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Give a list of all your medicines to any healthcare provider who treats you.
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Fosamprenavir tablets can be taken with or without food.
Fosamprenavir liquid should be taken with food in children and without food in adults.
Shake the oral suspension (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. Measure liquid medicine with the dosing syringe provided, or with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
If a child is using this medicine, tell your doctor if the child has any changes in weight. Fosamprenavir doses are based on weight in children, and any changes may affect your child's dose.
While using fosamprenavir, you may need frequent blood tests at your doctor's office.
Use fosamprenavir regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
HIV/AIDS is usually treated with a combination of drugs. Use all medications as directed by your doctor. Read the medication guide or patient instructions provided with each medication. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without your doctor's advice. Every person with HIV or AIDS should remain under the care of a doctor.
Store fosamprenavir tablets at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
You may store fosamprenavir liquid in the refrigerator but do not allow it to freeze.
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello, this vehicle is unlike old hydraulic systems, the bleeding procedure is much different, (see below). And generaly these require no bleeding, I have done many and generaly if it does not bleed correctly the CLUTCH MASTER could be defective.
It's a good practice to replace the CLUTCH MASTER anyway, I usualy recommend it.
Generaly you plug the quick disconnect line into slave and it just works... Try this procedure and it will require two people...
Slim to none, hehe...
Man I wish I were there #%#@&^, did the idiots give you the wrong clutch?
Man there really is not much else it could be the (slave cylinder just bolts on with like two 10 milimeters, and if the transmission bolted back up fine there is not much else that could go wrong.
It may have been bad master to begin with, but bench bleed the master, I have seen alot of those masters fail or leak.
i will replace the master .hope this take care of my problem. thanks
Hello, I am John, a Ford dealer technician.
I hope I can help solve your problem quickly and accurately.
I'm sorry I don't usually jump into another experts question here but I have to greatly disagree with him. These clutch systems are known to be a real pain to get all the air out of the system. I have my own way of doing this and will explain.
1. Get an assistant to operate the pedal.
2. Fill the reservoir to the top with brake fluid.
3. Without the pedal pressed down open the bleeder screw, now slowly push the pedal all the way to the bottom then hold. Tighten the screw.
4. Repeat step 3 five times. Check the fluid level every third time.
5. Pump pedal 10 times then hold. Open the bleeder screw.
6. Repeat step 5 three times.
7. Check operation, you may need to repeat this whole operation 3-4 times if air is trapped in the master or the lines.
If you have any more questions please feel free to ask, it's what I'm here for!
If this answer has been helpful please accept so I can recieve payment. Feedback is very
important to me so please leave accurate feedback for others to see my job performance.
Thank you,

Agent - No offers for Subotic
Defender Neven Subotic is yet to attract any formal bids from Premier League clubs, according to his agent.
Last Updated: 12/04/11 4:25pm
Highly-rated Borussia Dortmund defender Neven Subotic is yet to attract any formal offers from Premier League clubs, according to his agent.
The young Serbia international, who is contracted at the Bundesliga outfit until 2014, has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, as well as Spanish giants Barcelona.
But while agent Stephen Kelly says Subotic is aware of the interest, he insists the 22-year-old has not been the subject of any concrete bids.
Kelly told Calciomercato.it: "Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester United? He's a good defender and it is normal to talk a lot about him, but I can assure you that I have not had contact with any team.
"He has a contract until 2014 and it would still take a very important offer to convince Borussia to sell."
Subotic, a regular performer for the Serbia national side, arrived at Borussia from Bundesliga rivals Mainz in 2008 and has notched up 27 league appearances this season.

Women in the US still earn significantly less than men, even when they work the same number of hours, according to a study released on Thursday by the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University.
The study also found that the gap in pay cheques persisted across all levels of educational attainment.
Unlike much previous research on this topic, this analysis focused on full-time workers in the same occupations with the same levels of education. (Many studies do not account for the fact that more women work part-time, and that more women tend to work in lower-paying fields.)
Another noteworthy finding is that women with bachelor's degrees earn about as much as men who have some college education but no degrees. To earn as much as men with bachelor's degrees, women must obtain a doctoral degree. In other words, a woman needs on average one more degree than a man to make the same amount of money.
The Equal Pay Act, signed into law by former president John F. Kennedy in 1963, makes it illegal to pay women less on the basis of their gender, yet according to the latest census statistics, women in the US earned only 77 cents for each dollar men were paid in 2008. That number falls to 68 per cent for black women and 58 per cent for Latin American women.
I spoke to Tony Carnevale, director of the CEW, and Jamie Merisotis, president and chief executive of the Lumina Foundation, which aims to increase students' access to college, about this research. (Lumina helped sponsor the study.)
While both agree the fact that women earn far less than men for the same work is inherently unfair, they see signs of hope in the findings.
"It is the best explanation for the significantly higher participation rate of women in education than men," says Merisotis, referring to data that show that women outnumber men in worldwide university enrolment and graduation rates. "Education is a core mobility strategy for women."
While "the historic bias still exists", he says, women's earnings by education level are steadily increasing at all levels. Men's earnings are stagnant at the secondary education level, and while they are rising at the post-secondary level and beyond, they are not increasing as fast as women's.
The solution to fixing the pay gap, says Carnevale, is more education. "For women at the very top of the pyramid, it's a different [story.] The truth is that once women get graduate degrees, the size of the gap diminishes," he says.
"But I would also advise women – as I advised my own daughter – to be careful which major [the focus of a bachelor's degree] they pick and which occupation they're headed for.
"Women tend to head toward lower-paying majors and jobs, such as counselling, teaching, the arts and nursing – basically, the helping professions with the exception of medical doctors," he says.
"But we are seeing women today represent 40 per cent of math majors and half of statistics majors. They are also gaining ground in life sciences. This is a good thing."

Police said the man had come forward on New Year's Eve to confess to burying the babies in the cellar of his home in the town of Altenburg in the mid-1990s.
The bodies of two infants were found in rubbish bags sealed in concrete on Sunday. Autopsies are under way.
The discovery will add to concerns sparked by a series of cases involving children allegedly killed or neglected.
The bodies of nine infants were found in buckets and flowerpots in a garden in another part of eastern Germany in August last year.
An unnamed woman, believed to be the mother of the children, is facing manslaughter charges, according to AP news agency.
The names of the married couple being questioned in Altenburg have not been released. They are believed to be in their 40s.

About the side-effects of having a halo effect is making the company seem to be well-balanced-another way of saying the company cares. Fine, but the side effects of modern meds scare the heck out of me. I'm even more suspicious now. I used to trust my doctors, but that's changed, especially with primary care providers. They aren't saying if the side effects are temporary or permanent. I know that I've asked if the med has been in production since 1998 or before. I tell them I don't want a new med-they're poison. PS. I like this format to introduce different articles..

Johnson, Twins topped by Rockies in series opener
Lefty delivers rocky four-inning outing to end Minnesota's win streak
DENVER -- Before Kris Johnson made his Coors Field debut Friday night, manager Ron Gardenhire gave an optimistic forecast about the Twins' starter, albeit one tinged with a note of caution that came to pass.
Johnson, who was taking the turn of the injured Ricky Nolasco, had started one other game for the Twins on May 1.
"This ballpark should bode well for him," Gardenhire said. "He throws the ball down in the zone. The last time he was up here, everything was knee-high. You've got to do that here. You elevate the baseball here and it does fly. He's got a good mix. He's got all the pitches."
Johnson (0-1) was hit hard in three innings and gone after the fourth as the Rockies beat the Twins, 6-2, ending Minnesota's three-game winning streak, its longest since it won a season-high four straight June 19-22.
Johnson gave up two runs on his first six pitches and two homers in the first three innings as the Rockies pounced on him in each frame. It was the second time the Twins brought him up for a spot start this season. He threw 106 pitches in 4 1/3 innings on May 1 against the Dodgers .
Asked if he was hopeful of making another start for the Twins, Johnson said, "I'm very hopeful. I want to get out here again and just show what I can do and go long in the game and give this team a chance to get a win. It's kind of disappointing when you come out for two starts and they need you and you can't make five innings."
Johnson only threw 57 pitches, but after yielding eight hits and four runs in four innings, he was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the fifth with the Rockies leading 5-1.
"They got him early and put some points up real quick," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He hung in there, but ultimately you got to get him out of there and try to start making some moves and and try to get back in the game."
Charlie Blackmon led off the first with a single, and Drew Stubbs followed with his 10th homer and fourth in six games on a 1-1 four-seam fastball that Johnson said he didn't get far enough inside. Nolan Arenado opened the second with a triple, and Wilin Rosario followed with a run-scoring single.
Carlos Gonzalez, who was activated from the disabled list before the game and played for the first time since June 3 after having a benign tumor removed from his left index finger, led off the third with a single. Troy Tulowitzki followed with his 21st home run and his third in two games, an opposite-field shot to right on a 2-0 sinker that Johnson said flattened out when he got underneath the ball.
Tulowitzki also made a crucial defensive play that ended the seventh with the bases loaded.
Gonzalez who played left field before his hand injury, has shifted to right field because his arm is stronger than that of Corey Dickerson, who was the primary left fielder in Gonzalez's absence. It didn't take long for Gonzalez to display his arm as he cut down Brian Dozier as he tried to go from first to third on Kendrys Morales' single in the third with the Rockies leading 3-1.
"I was trying to make the guy run," Gonzalez said. "I didn't charge the ball quick enough just to give him an opportunity to change his mentality. When the ball is hit hard, guys from first base are just going to slow down and stay on second base. But whenever they see somebody letting the ball get to him, they're going to try to take advantage. It was a close play but I was able to make an accurate throw."
Rockies starter Jorge De La Rosa (10-6) gave up a run in the second on a leadoff double by Trevor Plouffe and another with two outs by Eduardo Escobar. After Escobar's double, the Twins did not get another runner to second base against De La Rosa, who had to deal with a right hamstring cramp he got while running out a sacrifice in the second but worked six ininngs and left after throwing 102 pitches.
Rex Brothers retired the first batter he faced in the seventh before allowing singles to Escobar and Sam Fuld. When Josh Willingham, a right-handed hitter, came up to pinch-hit for Samuel Deduno, Rockies manager Walt Weiss countered with right-hander Adam Ottavino.
He struck out Willingham but walked Dozier on eight pitches to load the bases after getting ahead of him 0-2. Kurt Suzuki hit a grounder that shortstop Tulowitzki, who led fan voting for the National League All-Star team, snared in the hole, and his long jump throw was in time to get Suzuki.
"He made that play look way too easy," Gardenhire said. "It wasn't that easy."

Islamabad, Sept. 13 (ANI): The International Monetary Fund has said Pakistan's economy is at a high risk of deteriorating into crisis.
The IMF said that growth was too slow to significantly improve people's living standards in the country.
According to the Daily Times, the organization has approved a 6.7 billion dollars loan package to help Pakistan revive its ailing economy and prevent a balance of payments crisis.
The IMF said that executive directors noted that Pakistan's economic vulnerabilities and crisis risks are high, with unsustainable fiscal and balance of payments positions, the report said.
It added that a lack of reliable electricity supply and a difficult security situation in large parts of the country have contributed to the deterioration.
The Pakistani rupee declined about five percent against the dollar during the 2012-2013 fiscal year.
According to the report, the IMF warned Pakistan that its economic growth could be worse than expected next year due to strict austerity measures built into a 6.7 billion dollars rescue loan. (ANI)

Addressing the Cork Problem in Champagne
One idea has been to insulate the wine from the cork with a small piece of silicone. As you can see in the photo below, the silicone sits inside a little hollow carved out in the bottom of the cork, and when the cork is compressed there is no contact between the cork and the wine. Nicolas Chiquet of Champagne Gaston Chiquet has been using this system exclusively since 2001, and has been very pleased with the results.
As with the argument for screwcaps presented by Michel Laroche of Domaine Laroche in Chablis, Chiquet cites not only overt cork taint as being a problem with classic cork but also the variations between one bottle and the next, which can range from the subtle to the alarmingly pronounced. Chiquet produces about 200,000 bottles a year, which is more than most growers, and he estimates that with classic corks, the deviation (either overtly corky bottles or bottles where the character was obviously changed by cork) was above seven percent. Since converting to the silicone system, he finds the deviation to be less than one percent, and notes that the bottles of each wine are far more consistent in character.
Chiquet continues to do regular taste trials comparing classic cork, silicone-protected cork and metal capsule. Curiously, he says that the silicone system seems to develop mature flavors slightly faster within the first two years compared to classic cork, but then after two years it stabilizes and the two become much closer together in character. How this system affects long-term aging remains to be seen, but after seven years Chiquet is so far quite satisfied.
A newer innovation has been the Mytik Diamant cork, a conglomerate combining particles of treated cork with synthetic materials. According to Sibel, the manufacturing company, molecules of TCA are completely eliminated from the cork through the use of compressed and heated carbon dioxide, in a process employing the same technology used to decaffeinate coffee or to extract bitterness from hops. They don't say what the cork is mixed with (the material is referred to simply as "micro-spheres"), but the minimum amount of cork used is 70 percent. Ophélie Lamiable of Champagne Lamiable has switched completely to Mytik corks since last year and notes a pronounced improvement so far in both the level of cork taint (essentially reduced to nil) and in the regularity of one bottle to the next. Some other producers who have embraced the Mytik cork are Billecart-Salmon, Moët & Chandon, Jean Milan and René Geoffroy.
One interesting characteristic is that Mytik corks are slightly more elastic than regular corks—in the photo above you can see that this cork from a bottle of Lamiable 2003 Les Meslaines, disgorged sometime last spring, hasn't nearly the mushroom shape that a classic cork of the same age would have. This might explain why some people report that the Mytik is slightly more difficult to remove from the bottle than a traditional cork, although I haven't found it to be particularly troublesome.
Some hidebound purists, especially here in Europe, have complained about the aesthetic properties of the Mytik. I suppose they prefer corky wine. It seems to have been accepted so far in export markets, though, without much comment. While I'm as much of a traditionalist as anybody, cork taint drives me crazy, and I also hate the idea of years of a vigneron's time and labor being ruined or adversely altered, however slightly, by a little piece of tree bark. I am a huge fan of alternative closures in still wine, and I'm happy to see the champagne industry addressing the problem of cork taint.
Several years ago, Domaine Chandon Australia (Green Point in export markets) released their Vintage Brut under a metal crown cap, followed later by their sister company Domaine Chandon in California, who released their prestige cuvée Étoile in crown cap. I think this is a bold and laudable idea, and I would gladly buy champagne in crown cap if the authorities would let me. Alas, it's still illegal here.

Hi Peter,
I've only had one wine with the silicon layer between wine and cork and it was a 2002 Spätlese from the Mosel, from a reputable producer, rather than Champagne.
It was spectacularly oxidized and though one shouldn't judge from one bottle, it was hard not to think that the whole batch looked like that (especially since said producer has returned to normal corks since).
Current studies for still wines all seem to like the hypercritical CO2 process, like in the Mithic cork you describe.
Keep at that blog!

Odd, I've purchased some Chiquets here and there but haven't seen the silicon, do they do this with their NVs?
I'd be skeptical about the long term aging prospects of anything other than some type of cork - then again, I'm no scientist! :)

Hello Jeremy,
That's interesting about that Spätlese. I don't see how this silicone is any different from screwcaps, as it's the same sort of material. Naturally there have been oxidation problems with screwcap as well, but there have also been notable successes. With this cork/silicone system, one wonders what the point is of retaining the cork part for still wines (the point in Champagne is that you still need the cork to stopper the bottle).
I'm optimistic about the Mytik corks. It'll be interesting to see how the wines develop with time.

Hello Peter,
Yes, Chiquet uses it for their entire range of wines. I know they've been using it since 2001, but I don't know when they converted the entire production to it, so it's possible that the wines you purchased were still on classic cork. But all the Chiquets that I can remember drinking for at least the past five years or so have used this silicone system.
I'm no scientist either (which ought to be painfully obvious), but if you look at data from Australian trials of screwcaps (which have been going on for decades), it's quite promising. Tasting the wines is even more convincing. I'm not sure we've found the perfect alternative to cork yet, but I do believe that pursuing one is worthwhile.
- 06 March, 2008 19:10
I probably taste in the range of 400+ bottles/year of sparkling wine and my unscientific, non statistically significant impression is that when it comes to percentage of corky bottles, the corks with a little silicone plug in contact with the wine are neither better nor worse than regular corks.
In general, I'm extremely in favor of alternative closures and extremely anti normal bark corks. I would (and in the case of Etoile, I do) buy beer caps on sparkling wine without hesitation, regardless of the wine's price. I don't think I've ever seen a sparkling wine under a Stelvin cap and, since Stelvins are a touch more fragile than regular still wine corks, therefore significantly more fragile than normal champagne corks including cap and cage, I'm skeptical that Stelvin is the right solution for bubbly.
- 12 March, 2008 07:03
- Peter Liem said...
Sorry, I guess at this point I was speaking of still wines in screwcap, and didn't make that very clear. It's not currently possible to bottle sparkling wine iin Stelvin, as far as I know.

Today, we break from routine. No updates on Obamacare or flood insurance or indemnity for self-driving cars.
Today, we tackle a heretofore unaddressed insurance risk: the devastating impact of a Godzilla attack.
Is San Fran covered for Godzilla?
Inspired by the earthshaking (not to mention eardrum-shattering) approach of the summer blockbuster movie season, the alert forces at PropertyCasualty360 enlisted insurance educators Chris Amrhein and Bill Wilson to assess the coverage we'd need to withstand an assault by a 335-foot prehistoric lizard.
The underwriting challenge begins, as ever, with data. In Godzilla's case, the lizard laid waste to Tokyo in the 1954 original, made his way across the Pacific and through the Panama Canal to remodel New York City in the 1998 remake and (spoiler alert) makes a hearty arugula-and-Golden-Gate-Bridge tossed salad of San Francisco in this summer's return.
Turns out, the iconic bridge had been insured for up to $45 million until 2005, when local officials decided to essentially self-insure by setting aside reserves rather than pony up $1.3 million a year in premiums. While those reserves currently amount to between $12 million and $14 million, the cost to replace the Golden Gate Bridge is estimated at $1.55 billion.
What about your home?
How would a typical home insurance policy stack up if, say, your Victorian row house got stomped and smashed by the big guy? The good news, says Amrhein, is that fire and explosion would likely be covered, as would collapse -- "since it would be due to the weight of ... animals."
The bad news: Earth movement "caused by or resulting from human or animal force" would typically be excluded, as would power failure, one of Godzilla's signature moves.
"So when he rips down all those power lines, there will be hell to pay," Amrhein adds.
Turning to the indelicate matter of "release of waste products," should a Godzilla dropping render a Sausalito, California, ranch home uninhabitable, the damage would likely fall under the "specific cause of loss" category. It covers falling objects.
And if your car gets squashed?
What about your ride? After all, this lizard likes to stomp a Lexus or two. Amrhein says your comprehensive auto insurance coverage would kick in for a Godzilla flattening, classified under "contact with bird or animal." Ditto should Godzilla's fiery breath blister your paint job.
But the experts were stymied by whether a Godzilla attack would trigger coverage under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, or TRIA.
"It would depend upon Godzilla's motivation: Was he put up to this by terrorists ... or is he simply a drunken sailor let loose on the town?" Amrhein wonders. "Was he fine until that fuel truck he mistook for a living fellow monstrous love interest blew sky-high, which his tiny brain interpreted as a rejection of his amorous advances?"
Wilson sees it as more of a species issue.
"There is case law that says a nonhuman animal is incapable of forming intent, so exclusions such as vandalism and theft don't apply to animals," he says.
Enjoy the movie!
Here's a look at eight weird insurance policies.

The years between the International Epilepsy Congresses are the years of the Regional Congresses. Unfortunately, two of them in 2006 could not take place as scheduled because of terrorist attacks close by (in Bali and Sharm-el-Sheikh). As an outstanding example of good neighbors, the Malaysian Chapter offered to co-organize the Asian/Oceanian Congress in Kuala Lumpur jointly with the Indonesian Chapter, whereas the 1st Eastern Mediterranean Regional Congress took place in the magnificent surroundings of Luxor on the Nile. The Asian/Oceanian meeting was very well attended, while the Luxor Congress attracted an audience beyond expectation.
The European Congress in Helsinki could again be noted for a high attendance and an excellent program. The Latin American Congress took place in Guatemala. Its highlight was a very well-attended and well-prepared Chapter Convention which demonstrated the serious commitment to cooperation of many in the present leadership of the region. This was the first of a series of indicators of progress in the region. The situation of the Caribbean subregion was discussed with input from North American and European representatives.
Last but by no means least, the traditional Annual Meeting of the American Epilepsy Society was designated as the North American Regional Epilepsy Congress. The meeting took place in 2006 in San Diego as a joint meeting of the AES and the Canadian and Jamaican Chapters. A new agreement will provide the North American region with funds from the AES mandatory Epilepsia subscriptions in the same way as other regions contribute the surplus of their regional congresses. As a result, the North American Commission started an initiative with the Latin American Commission for a joint educational program that includes visiting professorships, training fellowships and bilateral cooperation between chapters from both regions. These commissions have also started to work on a joint development plan for the Caribbean with the establishment of a Haitian Chapter as the first aim.
The first Latin American Summer School on Epilepsy, held at a retreat in Brazil, brought together about 50 students from all parts of Latin America and some from Portuguese-speaking Africa. This 1½ week residential course attempted to bridge the gap between clinical work and basic research. The course was outstanding and, in the view of many participants, marked the onset of a new era for epileptology in Latin America. In summary, the Latin American region can be congratulated for taking a big leap forward, supported by good neighbors and with encouragement from the ILAE Executive Committee.
Hopefully, we can soon also be reporting on progress from Africa, still our least developed region. Educational activities have been and are being brought to this region by the AES, the French and Portuguese Chapters and by EUREPA. Several new chapters in sub-Saharan Africa are being established or have already applied for membership.
Most of our commissions have now become fully operative and I refer to their individual reports. Of the new commissions, Epilepsy Care can now work, in most regions, with a regional steering committee of the Global Campaign where the IBE and WHO are represented. Education is working closely with the Executive Committee and the European Epilepsy Academy (EUREPA) to establish durable structures for education and further develop high quality teaching programs, particularly modular distance education and residential courses.
After long and sometimes difficult considerations, the role of EUREPA in our educational agenda is now described in a formal agreement between ILAE and EUREPA. In addition, the Executive Committee has developed rules for financial support given to educational purposes, and similar rules for the support of research will follow.
Our election system is under discussion to ensure fair participation of all regions in our global agenda, and it is expected that respective constitutional amendments will be proposed to the General Assembly in 2009.
At mid-term, a routine change in our Information Office took place. Dr Simon Shorvon is leaving after 10 very successful years in the position, and we have a lot to thank him for. He continues as one of the co-editors of Epilepsia. Dr Edward Bertram of Charlottesville, Virginia, USA was appointed as the new Information Officer, and we welcome him with our best wishes for the challenges he is facing.

However it looked as if they would be on their way to defeat after three tries in 15 second-half minutes from Michele Rizzo, Benjamin de Jager and Tobias helped put Treviso 26-23 ahead.
Morgan had other ideas to keep the Ospreys unbeaten in second in Heineken Cup Pool 5 and Johnson is keeping his fingers crossed rivals Saracens and Biarritz underestimate the Italians too.
"Maybe we're not giving enough credit to Treviso," said Johnson. "Their form has been pretty good, and it's not all that long since they put 50 points on the Newport Gwent Dragons.
"I'm hopeful that other sides will under-rate their quality. They can still have major say in the fate of this group.
"I was very disappointed with our display, and I was very disappointed with our skill set. It wasn't perfection but our destiny is still in our own hands, and that's not a bad thing."

"He has lost three sons and a great part of his Fortune in the service of his country." [Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia 1752-1755, 1756-1758].
b. Note from Guy R.. Smith [Historian for the Col. John Smith Society]: The three sons John lost in the war were Lt. John Smith, Joseph Smith, and most likely a Patrick Smith. The State historical Library in Wisconsin has Preston Papers which summarized from 1754 to end of war the people killed Feb 1756 Chalkely Vol 2-March 1756 Robert Looney was killed (he was a neighbor of the Smith family),.. Patrick Smith was killed. He was probably born in the colonies because he was not listed in the importation papers.

Kaddo Bourani (Afghani Baked Pumpkin With Yogurt Sauce)
Recipe by SherryKaraoke
This recipe came from the San Francisco Chronicle in October, 2004. It was described as the Afghan version of sweet and sour, with the sweetened pumpkin and the tart yogurt. Yummy!
Top Review by patticakes 3
thanks for the hint on baking pumpkin a bit before trying to cut off skin. i cooked it about 35 minutes and it was easy to cut off the skin and cut it into wedges for this recipe. so glad i could use one of my halloween pumpkins. i only used 2 cups of sugar as 3 cups sounded excessive. i had a good size pumpkin so ended up doubling the recipe. the sugared pumpkin really does bake for a long time and get translucent and darker orange. we are happy to have leftovers and to be able to share with our neighbors, too.
See Discussion:3 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 (3 lb) sugar pumpkin
- 1⁄4 cup corn oil, plus
- 2 tablespoons corn oil or 2 tablespoons other neutral oil
- 3 cups sugar
- 2 cups plain yogurt (do not use nonfat)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, to taste
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Cut the pumpkins in half through the stem end, and cut out the long stringy fibers.
- Cut each pumpkin half into 3- to 4-inch pieces.
- There should be about 8 pieces from each pumpkin.
- Using a vegetable peeler, pare the rind from the pumpkins, digging the peeler down a little to remove more than just the superficial layer of rind.
- Place the pumpkin pieces hollow sides up in a baking pan large enough to hold them in a single layer.
- Coat both sides of the pieces, using all of the oil.
- Pour all the sugar evenly over the pieces.
- Cover the pan.
- Bake the pumpkins until the color turns darker orange and becomes nearly translucent, and the texture is extremely tender, about 3 hours and 15 minutes.
- Baste the pieces once with the pan juices after 2 1/2 hours of baking.
- The Yogurt Sauce: Stir together the yogurt, garlic, mint and salt.
- Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
- Just before serving, taste and add more salt if necessary.
- Yields 2 cups sauce.
- For each serving: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce onto a plate.
- Using the back of the spoon, spread the sauce a little.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove 2 pieces of the pumpkin from the pan and center them on the sauce.
- Add more sauce to taste.

I've downloaded the recent update and still have wifi issues. My phone will randomly disconnect from my home wifi and then will not reconnect for an hour or more. It identifies the connection and endlessly states is "connecting." However, if I select the connection the phone claims my internet connection speed is minus 1 Mbps (-1Mbps!) which is ridiculous. None of my other wireless devices have this issue, including my wife's Galaxy S3. She's home almost every day and never has the wifi cut out on her. I've tried turning off the wifi and turning it back on, power cycling the phone and resetting the connection. None of it works. To make matters worse, I don't get 4G at my house and the DNA is slower on 3G than my old Droid X2. If Verizon insists on limited data plans it needs to ensure the phones they sell have reliable wifi or it will lose customers. T-Moble's prepaid unlimited 4G service is looking increasingly enticing...

Verizon, has the update gone to all DNA users? i been waiting for mine for the last week and nothing. can you help? thanks.
4. Re: DNA wifi connection errorbunkerdnoi Feb 27, 2013 9:37 PM (in response to Petgeek)
I have two Droid DNA and I have the exact same issue as Petgeek above. Since the Feb update both DNAs randomly disconnect from home wifi and can't seem to reconnect using all the same above methods (stopping/restarting wifi, rebooting phone, etc...) Other wifi devices in the house work fine, including two HTC thunderbolts on wifi. Phone claims internet connection speed is -1Mbps. Then suddenly after a while, wifi comes back. Extremely painful issue. Any other reports of this wifi issue by DNA Verizon customers after the update???
5. Re: DNA wifi connection errornytq Mar 3, 2013 8:43 AM (in response to Verizon Wireless Customer Support)
I recently got the dna ota update, which in all honesty I did not need. Phone was flawless before update. Now glitches are poping up. My home wifi disconnects randomly. Software update and status don't work or are delayed for minutes. These are just a few things I've notices. who knows what else is not working properly now.
6. Re: DNA wifi connection errorbuick8dt Mar 12, 2013 2:19 PM (in response to Verizon Wireless Customer Support)
I am also having the same wifi connection errors at my home. My Incredible 2 never disconnected randomly, but this DNA has done it since I got the phone just two weeks ago. The software update says it is up-to-date. It is very frustrating, as it is incurring data usage whenever it drops while streaming music or Netflix.
7. Re: DNA wifi connection errorVerizon Wireless Customer Support Mar 27, 2013 5:43 AM (in response to buick8dt)
Hello buick8dt. I'm really to hear about the problems you've experienced with your WiFi connection. I connect to WiFi all the time, so I understand the importance of it working seamlessly. Not to mention the value it adds to your data plan.
In regards to your concerns, are you having problems keeping other devices connected to your WiFi network? How often are you losing your connection during 30 minutes of viewing a movie on Netflix. Did you see any improvements after the last update that was designed to improve connectivity?

I haven't had a chance to check this message board in a while. I'm still having this issue. My wife has a new DNA and it is having the same issues. Home WiFi disconnects randomly over and over, usually while we are checking facebook or playing Wordfeud. Hopefully enough people will report the same issue to acknowledge it is a problem.

Is your kid a reluctant learner?
Find out how to get your kid excited about being back at school. more
Research suggests that increasing the amount of time children spend outdoors could reduce the risk of them becoming myopic (that is, near-sighted) in the future. A UK study has found that children who spent more time outdoors at age eight to nine years were only about half as likely to become short-sighted by the age of 15.
Melbourne optometrist Tim Fricke* says that for a long time it was thought that kids who read a lot would end up with myopia. "But it's now thought that maybe these kids who love reading just spend less time outside and so aren't getting the benefits."
Ask anyone which foods are good for eyes and most will answer 'carrots' – and while they are a great food for eyes because of their vitamin A content, a diet high in foods rich in vitamins, omega 3s and antioxidants has been found to help preserve eyesight throughout the years.
Some great foods for kids to munch today to help preserve their eyesight of tomorrow include leafy greens like spinach and kale, fruit and vegetables high in vitamin C like strawberries and grapefruit, seeds and nuts for their high vitamin E content, turkey and oysters for zinc and lots of oily fish like tuna and salmon, plus eggs, for omega 3 fatty acids. Research has linked all of these with lower risks of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
Many of us really start wearing sunglasses in our teens and 20s – but scientists believe children's eyes are much more susceptible to UV damage than adults'. Wearing sunglasses as a tot can help protect against the most common eye conditions that develop later in life, such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
When choosing shades for the kids, ensure they have standard UV 400 lenses or 100 percent UV protection.
There doesn't need to be a problem to get a standard eye check. Ideally, all children should have a comprehensive eye check before starting school as some problems, such as strabismus (turned eye) and amblyopia (lazy eye), are much more successfully treated when children are young. Plus, says Tim, if there are vision issues, it can impact on learning and behaviour significantly.
Make sure the space in which they're using the screens is comfortably lit, they aren't holding the device too close and they take regular breaks (Tim suggests at least five minutes an hour).

text: Culture 27 January 2011 The Urethra Postcard Art of Gilbert and George A collection of postcards disturbs as much as it amuses, says Alice O'Keeffe. Sign up for our weekly email * Gilbert and George have proclaimed 2011 "the year of the urethra". To celebrate, they have brought forth an outpouring of 564 new "postcard pictures", of which 155 are displayed at White Cube in Mason's Yard, London. The relevance of the urethra to these images is not immediately obvious. Each consists of several - usually 12 - mass-produced postcards, arranged in a rectangle with one more in the middle. We learn that this shape echoes a symbol used to represent the urethra by C W Leadbeater (1854-1934), once a leading light of the theosophical movement. Leadbeater apparently believed that masturbation brought one closer to God and was dogged throughout his life by allegations that he sexually abused the boys under his spiritual tutelage. A typically provocative choice of inspiration for the pair, then, in this age of paedo-fear. At their best, The Urethra Postcard Pictures celebrate the glorious strangeness of human sexuality. The artists, magpie-like, collected these cards during their habitual walks around London. They are arranged into three categories: tourist picture postcards, all of which feature the Union Jack; flyers advertising gay clubs and sexual health advice; and telephone-box cards offering a smorgasbord of erotic services. The telephone-box works are by far the best. Relics of the pre-internet age, these cards are suffused with nostalgia and a strange kind of innocence. "I'll drag you round my posh flat by your nuts, you filthy vetch," screams one in livid green capitals, combining sadomasochism with a hint of Hyacinth Bucket. Another, in neat, black Times Roman on a cream card, politely offers: "Toilet training: medical exams, enema and rubber treatment, golden showers, brown showers, PVC and rubber pants, bizarre clinical scenarios." By comparison, the images composed from picture postcards are run-of-the-mill. You will find the same images of London buses and Tower Bridge on display outside every newsagent in central London - so why go to see them in a gallery? Gilbert and George have made a habit of confronting the art world with taboos. It was giant turds in Naked Shit Pictures (1994); here, they foreground the Union Jack and other trappings of seriously uncool conservative nationalism. With the telephone cards, they bring an underappreciated expression of marginal culture into a mainstream setting, their creed of "art for all" at its most effective. This approach is undoubtedly entertaining but it also has severe shortcomings. The artists' preoccupation with the outward expressions of difference and diversity - the bizarre tastes in sex, the array of religious, nationalistic and sexual signs and symbols - blinds them to the feelings and experiences common to us all. For all the exotic services on offer here, there is no hint of real sex, in all its emotional messiness and ambiguity. We are invited to marvel at the fetishes, rather than relate to the people who have them. Looking at the anonymous, faceless telephone cards is a little like going to a zoo:"Ooh, look! This one likes spanking - and there's a ladyboy!" It is as if Gilbert and George, shielded by their sharp suits and campy shtick, are observing the world around them from a great distance. At its worst, this lack of engagement with life can lapse into glaringly bad taste. One image in the exhibition was so wrong that it was still troubling me the day after my visit. Entitled Toddlers and Tarts, it juxtaposed a number of bare-breasted women (the tarts, presumably) with photographs of a baby boy wearing only a nappy and bow tie. Had the baby boy appeared on his own, he would have looked funny and playful. As he was, surrounded by highly sexualised images of women, it was impossible not to see in his jaunty pose an echo of the stripper or the porn star. Almost all of the other pictures featured one repeated postcard, but here Gilbert and George had chosen to combine three. In doing so, they imposed a new and disturbing meaning on the picture of the baby. Despite enjoying much of the perversity on offer, I found myself concluding that some taboos are worth respecting.

In covering banking for Bankrate, I spend a lot of time thinking about what people don't like from their bank -- excessive fees, poor service, security problems -- but less time on what they do.
An interesting survey out this week commissioned by Ally Bank explored just that question. In honor of Valentine's Day, pollsters asked a random sample of Americans what they loved most in a bank. Here are the results:
- 24 percent loved tight security.
- 22 percent loved 24/7 live customer service.
- 20 percent loved a large network of branches.
- 17 percent loved competitive interest rates.
- 9 percent loved a bank's interest being compounded daily.
- 8 percent couldn't think of anything they loved in a bank.
One thing I would have expected to see on this survey was low fees. I'm not sure whether that just wasn't an option or whether people just don't care about it, but I know it's pretty important to me. If I start getting dinged for excessive fees, I either take it up with my bank and get satisfaction, or I move on. Maybe this will become more important to people as more banks drop free checking accounts, but I'm surprised it flew under the radar on this one.
I was also pretty surprised that security ranked first on the list. Maybe I'm just the trusting sort, but as a consumer, I've never given that much thought to a bank's security. That's not because it's not important to me, but I guess I've just always assumed that most banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. would have pretty good security.
But maybe it's just a function of my demographic; in the Ally survey, only 17 percent of those aged 18 to 34 put security as their number one priority in a bank. On the other hand, a whopping 31 percent of those aged 45 to 54 ranked security first. Some other interesting demographic tidbits:
- Age: Americans 45 and older appreciate security most, while those in the 35 to 44-year-old age bracket identified most with 24/7 live customer service.
- Income: 26 percent of respondents making more than $100,000 per year love competitive interest rates most, while 24/7 live customer service tops the list for those making $35,000 or less per year.
- Household size: Those with three or more people in their house said they loved the 24/7 customer service banking feature best (27 percent), compared to those with two or one (16 and 22 percent, respectively).
So what do you look for in a (banking) partner? Is security the top priority for you, or is it something else?

Hi Lion,
May be you can try adding 'auto-filter' to your data and try copying pasting.
Thank you Meg
But in this case I do'nt think that I can solve this matter, especially that I have thousands of hidden rows !
if only I have a choise to select the only apparent rows.!
thank you again ..
Can you post up an example?
hi Meg
thank you .
Try this.
VB:Sub MyCopyPaste() Dim rngCopy As Range With Worksheets("Copy from") Set rngCopy = .Range("A1:F" & .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible) End With rngCopy.Copy With Worksheets("paste to") .Activate .Range("A1").Activate .Paste Link:=True End With End Sub
To do this manually, select the range to copy (including hidden rows) and push F5 then click Special and check Visible cells only - Ok. Now copy/paste

Net Neutrality: Carrier Controls Could Limit Remote Work and Cloud Computing
The topic of Net neutrality also has unintended consequence for IT managers. The concept of Net neutrality is that all Internet traffic should be treated the same and not prioritized (in terms of service or price) by the carriers. The carriers have justified non-neutral traffic management, such as metering and blocking, as necessary because of a few people who continually access large video files or play bandwidth-intensive games. The carriers argue this traffic fills their networks and gets in the way of everyone else's access to the Internet. They also cite the rise of peer-to-peer sharing of music and video files, which the entertainment industry says is a form of theft.
But in a Net neutrality case involving Comcast, the Federal Trade Commission recently ruled that Comcast can't entirely block peer-to-per file sharing traffic, at least not without prior notification to its customers. The FTC's concerns were based on how such controls might limit the overall Internet access marketplace and lead to possibly monopolist practices by carriers as their policies favored certain types of usage or providers.
Businesses had more immediate concerns about Comcast's actions since it affected their home-based workers. "Comcast, in trying to block BitTorrent, inadvertently was also blocking some Lotus Notes traffic," says the EFF's O'Brien. And at least one Canadian ISP has had a peer traffic block that also affected business-related traffic.
The ruling has major implications for distributed corporate workforces and on the projected greater reliance on cloud computing and Web-based services and applications in the coming years. As more businesses make use of Internet-based services and store more of their data in the cloud, the assumption is that this data is universally accessible no matter where a user is located and no matter what provider is used to get online. That may not be an assumption businesses can count on.
The FTC ruling was not conclusive, and Comcast has appealed, so the door is still open to carriers controlling traffic that passes through them to the Internet. And other countries -- such as China and Saudi Arabia -- already block and regulate Internet traffic, so global companies may face this issue even if the United States ends up supporting Net neutrality.
And Comcast continues to find ways to regulate Internet access. After the FTC ruled against controlling peer-to-peer traffic specifically, Comcast decided to place a blanket cap of 250GB of data usage per month per residential account.
The FTC action was not the only place where federal policymakers have shown concern over carriers' actions or possible actions to regulate Internet traffic. Last month, FCC commissioner Robert McDowell asked AT&T Wireless to provide the information on its peer-to-peer policy during a recent hearing tied to broadband issues. Although AT&T doesn't block peer-to-peer traffic today across its wireless network, there is concern that it and other major carriers may do so in the future.
In the meantime, businesses can see what their carriers are doing to Internet traffic to find out if it hinders business and employee access to the Internet. The EFF has developed a test tool called Switzerland that shows what ports a provider is blocking. And it recommends that IT use its purchasing power to make the carriers come clean on what they are controlling, O'Brien recommends: "Anyone who signs up a new provider should consider adding a clause to their contracts about service level agreements that should hold the provider to any transparency about what network management and blocks that they are doing."

Question for you Helena folks...fire restrictions in the area? Heading in from Billings where we are surrounded by restrictions and I was hoping to bring a small charcoal grill. Not allowed in this part of the world. Can't wait for the CC!

Get ready for a little twist on holes 9 and 10! . Had to leave before mass started, but there's already a good number of the congregation up there. Course is looking fantastic. Budget some berry picking time in! Strawberries, hucks, more. We'll see if we get a break from the wind....it was calm last evening. Of course evenings usually are. See everyone on Saturday morning! Can't wait!
i got word last night that we might be having live music saturday night from 10pm till we pass out, some bands were supposed to be playing up rimini but my buddy talked em in to bringin the show up to priest pass, the bands that might show up are the "hard Arnold Plamers" and a jam band that i havnt heard the name of yet, but i heard they are pretty good!!
that was the greatest post tournament party and band( in disc golf history last night, absolutely 100% WTF unbelievable stuff. I've seen more than my fair share of bands in life and that was perhaps the single best why on earth is a band this red hot and talented playing at 2 AM to sunrise on Priest Pass. I can't say enough thanks to those that organized this tournament. The tournament is still a favorite and such a great tournament course. That late night party was absolutely mind blowing. Seeing the Skyfoot open with a Zappa cover and nail it blew my mind.

Taking the reins as director of Hurley Funeral Home is both seven years and a lifetime in the making for Hope Iglehart. The mortuary, an Athens staple for more than 50 years, first was owned and operated by Iglehart's grandfather, John Hurley Jr., who was himself a mainstay in the Athens community. As she steps into his shoes, Iglehart's greatest hope is to uphold his legacy.
"My grandfather was respected at every level. I would hope to be half the business person that he was. I always wanted to be like him when I grew up," Iglehart said.
After graduating from college in 1999, she set out to do just that, immediately enrolling in mortuary school in preparation for taking a leadership role at the funeral home. In 2001, she moved to Athens for good and reintroduced herself to the family business, with her grandmother showing her the ropes.
And just like her grandfather before her, Iglehart has become a community fixture in her own right. She played an integral role in the two-year process that resulted in the Athens-Clarke Commission designating the neighborhood around the funeral home's Athens Avenue address a historically black district, making it the first neighborhood of its kind in Athens.
Iglehart's passion for Athens has prompted many to encourage her to run for local or statewide government. While she definitely is mulling over the possibility, she understands the responsibility she has to fully learn the ropes before jumping right in.
"Politics is something that I'm interested in. I just feel that you really have to know what's going on in your community first before you can go out there and help statewide," Iglehart said.

Projects are at the heart of our approach to learning. We believe you should learn by doing, and when you're a Udacity student, projects are what you do. They're how you learn, and they're how we assess your learning. Ultimately, they're also how you'll demonstrate what you've learned. From the moment you enroll, to the moment your portfolio earns you the job offer, it's all about projects.
Udacity projects can be hard work, and the stakes are often high. Expert project reviewers are standing by at any hour of the day, ready to deliver detailed assessments of your efforts. Between you and your Nanodegree credential, there is a path marked with projects that must be mastered before you can advance. You've got your work cut out for you. Sound fun?
It is! And to prove it to you, we're going to look at five different projects from five different Nanodegree programs that are really, really fun!
