Biotechnology is a set of powerful tools that employ living organisms (or parts of organisms) to make or modify products, improve plants or animals, or develop microorganisms for specific uses. Biotechnology is a research oriented science, a combination of Biology and Technology. It covers a wide variety of subjects like Genetics, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Immunology, Virology, Chemistry and Engineering. It also has tight links and relationships with many other subjects like Health and Medicine, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Cropping system and Crop Management, Ecology, Cell Biology, Soil Science and Soil Conservation, Bio-statistics, Plant Physiology, Seed Technology and the like. Biotechnology is the use of living things, especially cells and bacteria in industrial process. With demand for biotechnologists growing prospects in this industry are increasing.

Where to look for a programme in India?
Since biotechnology draws upon diverse basic sciences, world over, it is offered as a specialist interdisciplinary programme. But for academics, students and knowledge providers in India it has shown promise, and attraction as a separate discipline and hence some of the age old programmes like botany, zoology, marine biology etc. have conveniently come under the umbrella of biotechnology as plant biotechnology, animal biotechnology marine biotechnology. This approach has generated a number of &lsquome too&rsquo programmes and sub standard manpower. So it is imperative that a student identifies the right institution and the right programme.
Government Colleges
Although Jadavpur University, Kolkata was the first university in India to start a full-time course in biotechnology by initiating a degree programme in food technology way back in 1964-65, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi was the first institution in the country to draw up a proper curriculum for a degree course in biotechnology. The best departments in biotechnology are at the IITs. Though IITs, do not boast of a strong life science division, their strength in engineering comes to their rescue. Thanks to the seed funding provided by Department of Biotechnology, some of the finest institutions in public sector came into being at University of Hyderabad, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Banaras Hindu University and Pondicherry University amongst others.

Private Institutions
There are few private institutions as well, who have world class facilities and have attempted to compete with the public sector institutions. An additional advantage in these institutions is that they attempt to equip their students with hands-on-training, soft skills training, business management courses and IP awareness.

5 year integrated M.Sc/ M.Tech courses
Today a number of colleges offer Bachelors programmes in biotechnology. Since the course demands diverse skill sets, a strong disciplinary training in various basic sciences, would, in my opinion, add more value in the long run than a B.Sc (Biotech) programme. Unless of course, one opts for a five year integrated MSc/ MTech programme offered by institutions like IITs.
M.Sc (Biotechnology)
This is a very popular course where any graduate in biology or related sciences is eligible to apply. There are two major entrance exams for the course. The All India Biotechnology Entrance test conducted by JNU for admission to about 500 odd seats in the 32 university departments is the first major one. IITs admit students through a Joint Admissions Test for IITs. Most good private sector universities have their own independent examinations. While public sector schools are subsidized, and have very low fees, the private sector ones charge substantially higher fees.
Phd (Biotechnology)
If it is a career in research, that you&rsquore are seeking, then a PhD in biotechnology is a must. Most of the institutions mentioned above also offer you the option to pursue research studies. A valid GATE score (for engineering graduates) or a high score in the UGC-JRF or a CSIR or ICMR fellowship would ease your entry and also provide you with stable fellowships. Most of the institutes offer part time teaching/ research assistance to candidates unable to obtain a fellowship. Many students try and obtain their PhD from foreign universities as well. Some of the institutions in India like the IISc also offer an integrated 5 year PhD programme after a BSc.
MBA (Biotechnology)
This is a recent entrant in to the pantheon of famed MBA degrees. It normally requires a candidate to have a bachelor&rsquos degree in biological or related sciences. The degree might enable one to move into business functions in a biotech company with greater ease, since one has developed a certain understanding of the sector even before one has joined it. Institutions like NMIMS, Pune University offer such degrees.
How to select a college
Every now and then the public and the corporate leaders indicate that our biotech graduates are not industry ready and curriculum should be modified. But the harsh truth is that neither does the biotech industry have a clear understanding of the manpower they need nor are the skills required for employability understood by academicians.
Here are some tips to select the right universities.
Reputation: This is the first thing a recruiter would look for. An IIT degree is considered the best and deservedly so since IIT&rsquos take great care in the way, they launch a course and select students. For example, IIT, Delhi took nearly five years to design and develop a curriculum before initiating a degree in biochemical engineering and biotechnology courses.
Faculty: Qualified faculty is a must for any programme, if it has to offer you value. Look for the ratio of PhD to non PhDs. Higher the PhD numbers, better would be the research environment on the campus. Look for the credentials and achievement of the faculty. Better faculty means better learning experience.
Infrastructural FACILITIES: A good lab is a sine qua non for a research based programme like Biotechnology. Some of the private universities might score high on their infrastructure. Go behind the imposing structure, and look around actual equipment, level of supplies, ease with which a lab lets a student perform an experiment all that counts. Hands on experience will be the most important asset you would bank on.
Teaching STYLE: This is a very important but most difficult factor in assessing an institute. Some universities like MKU, JNU and TNAU have established a healthy participatory learning process. Ask students who are already pursuing a programme to ascertain, if the learning goes beyond books. Hands on training and live projects are a must.
Industry Interface: Find out if the faculty is encouraged to take-up consultancy, funded projects, sabbaticals in firms and overseas training. Higher the level of interaction with the industry better would be your chances of finding employment.
How to prepare for the entrance?
In India entrance exams are held for admissions to all top colleges and universities. The main topics for the entrance exams at the under-graduate level include the basic topics of physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology. Clearing the entrance exams require in depth knowledge of concepts and the ability to think logically. The best way to prepare is to solve previous years question papers. Coaching centers might help, but again be wary of parting with your money, when an institute promises you a 15 day crash course to success.
Do you fit the bill?
This is the function of what domains you want to enter, within the sector.
Domain KNOWLEDGE: This is a no brainier. But there are an astounding number of students who think their communication skills and inter personal skills would see them through. Not in a science based industry like biotech.
Research SKILLS: If it is a hard core research function, the primary requirement is an analytical mind and loads of patience. The ability to persevere with a problem for long periods of time without tiring is a must for any researcher. So is the ability to quickly assess the level of difficulty in a problem. Research by its very nature is risky, and the ability to minimize that risk would go a long way in boosting your career.
Drafting SKILLS: Since biotechnology is a heavily IP based industry, ability to work on built up research finding, without impinging on previous protected research is a skill in great demand. The skill to communicate precsely is also equally important.
Soft SKILLS: Increasingly research in organised large scale endeavors are places where multidisciplinary teams from multiple geographies work and collaborate real time. So ability to work as a team is a very crucial attribute for a successful biotechnologist.

Career Opportunities in the sector
In India, two main sources of employment are medical biotechnology and agricultural biotechnology. Medical biotechnology, is an emerging sector in India, and accounts for nearly 70% of the total revenue of the biotech sectors. The companies that populate this sector could be divided into three broad categories. One is that of small startup companies that have indigenously developed biotech products, e.g., Shantha Biotech and Bharat Biotech. Then there are large pharmaceutical firms which have began responding to the biotech wave and have incorporated biotechnology in their strategy like Dr. Reddy&rsquos Laboratory (DRL), Ranbaxy Laboratories and Wockhardt Ltd. The third group has start-ups, which are all set to emerge as contract research organisations (CROs), who mainly work for transnational corporations. It is this segment which is considered to be at the forefront of growth and employment generation, but so far has been only in the realm of possibility. Then there are firms like Biocon India which may not fit well in this kind of classification as they have an established presence in industrial biotechnology and a growing presence in the pharmaceutical sector, and are now more identified with pharmaceuticals rather than industrial applications.
Yet another potential area of research is agricultural biotechnology. This sector is populated on one hand by subsidiaries of TNCs and on the other hand by highly specialized technology companies that undertake services for specified research, like contract research organisations. This is a relatively new concept in the agriculture R&D in India. Some of the companies like Avesthagen qualify in this group. Having succeeded in BT cotton, there are attempts to go for BT products in food crops. The manpower required for this activity is derived mostly from plant breeding and botany.

The industry is keen to get trained hands from Molecular breeding. Though biotechnology has developed as a discipline in several academic (public, private and affiliated) institutions, need based specialization is yet to blossom in India. The developed world on the other hand has initiated focused centres of activity and specially trained manpower is supplied for the niche industry. Yet another domain which would recruit in the long run would be the biofertiliser and biopestisides industry. While attempts are on to develop better formulations and cost effective commercially viable biopesticides including microbial pesticides, parasitoids and bacteria, this sector is yet to see active recruitment.
At the present moment great emphasis is being given on developing bio-fuels as an alternate source of fuel. Research is also in progress for the development of genetically modified bamboos that is an alternate source of fibre and also an excellent carbon absorber. Industrial microbiology is also a major area of research for development of new products that are of immense importance for the pharmaceutical industry. Existing industries like sugar and distilleries in India have enjoyed the contribution from tissue culture and bio-inputs. Process modifications and metabolic engineering of yeasts will add to the requirement for biotechnologists. Several focused programmes are required to adds to the skills of the employed manpower.
International Secnario in Biotechnology
Some of the best universities in the world to pursue a degree in biotechnology include Harvard University, University of Tokyo, University of London, University of California, Penn State University, John Hopkins University, Stanford University, Yale University, University of Washington, Duke University, National University of Singapore and University of Western Australia.
Keep in mind
A masters degree in biotechnology empowers a student to carry out research in any given area of biotechnology, be it plant biotechnology or animal biotechnology. While pursuing a masters degree in biotechnology one has to grasp the basics of process control and process calculations on the chemical engineering front. Fluid mechanics is one of the main aspects of mechanical engineering that a biotechnologist has to be thorough with. A successful biotechnologist must also know the basics of computer aided designing and process simulation. Clinical biotechnology is another major area of study for a biotechnologist. The core subjects of a biotechnologist are microbiology and its application in the industry. Molecular biology, biochemistry and statistical biology are also of immense importance to a biotechnologist. So there is no alternative to in depth study and the sector is fast evolving. One should be constantly on the look out for new knowledge domains that are impacting the sector and the ability to assimilate and respond to those changes is very crucial. A healthy knowledge of ethical issues is also important This is a knowledge intensive field and a thirst for knowledge is a sine qua non for survival here. My best wishes.

Conditions remain very dry conditions in many areas of Kansas this year. Both the topsoil and subsoil are very dry. Where this is the case, wheat development has typically been poor. Will this make some wheat fields more susceptible to winter die-off or weaker than usual?
Factors to consider
The following are some of the factors to consider when evaluating the outlook for winter survival of wheat:
* How well has the wheat cold hardened?
When temperatures through fall and early winter gradually get colder, that helps wheat plants develop good winterhardiness. When temperatures remain unusually warm late into the fall (which can lead to excessive vegetative growth) then suddenly drop into the low teens, plants are less likely to have had time to cold harden properly and will be more susceptible to winterkill. This fall, temperatures have fallen off gradually. As a result, the wheat should be adequately cold hardened in most cases.
* How well developed is the root system?
Good top growth of wheat doesn't necessarily indicate good root development. Poor root development is a concern where conditions have been dry. Where wheat plants have a good crown root system and two or more tillers, they will tolerate the cold better. If plants are poorly developed going into winter, with very few secondary roots and no tillers, they will be more susceptible to winterkill or desiccation, especially when soils remain dry. Poor development of secondary roots may not be readily apparent unless the plants are pulled up and examined. If plants are poorly developed, it may be due to dry soils, poor seed-to-soil contact, very low pH, insect damage, or other causes.
* How cold is the soil at the crown level?
This depends on snow cover and moisture levels in the soil. Winterkill is possible if soil temperatures at the crown level (about one inch deep) fall into the single digits. If there is at least an inch of snow on the ground, the wheat will be protected and soil temperatures will usually remain above the critical level. Also, if the soil has good moisture, it's possible that soil temperatures at the crown level may not reach the critical level even in the absence of snow cover. But if the soil is dry and there is no snow cover, there may be the potential for winterkill, especially on exposed slopes or terrace tops, depending on the condition of the plants.
* Is the crown well protected by soil?
If wheat is planted at the correct depth, about 1.5 to 2 inches deep, and in good contact with the soil, the crown should be well protected by the soil from the effects of cold temperatures. If the wheat seed was planted too shallowly, then the crown will have developed too close to the soil surface and will be more susceptible to winterkill. Also, if the seed was planted into loose soil or into heavy surface residue, the crown could be more exposed and could be susceptible to cold temperatures and desiccation.
* Is there any insect or disease damage to the plants?
Plants may die during the winter not from winterkill, but from the direct effects of a fall infestation of Hessian fly. Many people are familiar with the lodging that Hessian fly can cause to wheat in the spring, but fewer recognize the damage that can be caused by fall infestations of Hessian fly. Wheat infested in the fall often remains green until the winter when the infested tillers gradually die. Depending on the stage of wheat when the larvae begin their feeding, individual tillers or whole plants can die. If the infestation occurs before multiple tillers are well established then whole plants can die. If the plants have multiple tillers before the plants are infested then often only individual tillers that are infested by the fly larvae will die.
The key to being able to confirm that the Hessian fly is the cause of the dead tillers is to carefully inspect the dead plants or tillers for Hessian fly larvae or pupae. This can be done by carefully removing the plant from the soil and pulling back the leaf material to expose the base of the plant. By late winter all of the larvae should have pupated and thus the pupae should be easily detected as elongated brown structures pressed against the base of the plant. The pupae are fairly resilient and will remain at the base of the plant well into the spring.
Damage from winter grain mites, brown wheat mites, fall armyworm, aphids, and crown and root rot diseases can also weaken wheat plants and make them somewhat more susceptible to injury from cold weather stress or desiccation.
Symptoms of winter survival problems
If plants are killed outright by cold temperatures, they won't green up next spring. If they are only damaged, it might take them a while to die. They will green up and then slowly go "backwards" and eventually die. There are enough nutrients in the crown to allow the plants to green up, but the winter injury causes vascular damage so that nutrients that are left cannot move, or root rot diseases move in and kill the plants. Slow death is probably the most common result of winter injury on wheat.
Direct cold injury is not the only source of winter injury. Under dry conditions, wheat plants may suffer from desiccation. This can kill or weaken plants, and is actually a more common problem than direct cold injury.

We've got coverage from QuakeCon, GamesCom, San Francisco, Atlantis. You name it, we got it…
Germany has become the center of the gaming world this week — as press and gamers alike flock to GamesCom in Cologne. Above is a picture of our booth — inspired by Brink's Container City. Find more pictures at Kotaku, as well as this Splash Damage-endorsed Flickr page.
Press folks have been checking out WET at GamesCom, as well as in New York, San Francisco, and last week at QuakeCon. Read hands-on impressions at Kotaku, Team Xbox and Gamespot. Here's a look at the Gamespot preview:
"Wet seems to be at its best during the combat sections, which are quick, stylish, and a whole lot of fun to play. The platforming sequences, by contrast, tend to slow the action down a great deal, and we're hoping there's more gun-firing and swordplay than ledge-leaping and chasm-jumping in the final version of the game."
Elsewhere, Game Trailers has a new interview for WET with Pete taken last week at QuakeCon. Hit the jump below to catch it and the latest Fallout 3 news…
Moving on, I highly recommend venturing to Digital Foundry (part of Eurogamer), where they've got a high-res time-lapse video of popular spots in the Capital Wasteland. Really cool. Meanwhile, Go Gaming Giant has a new column about the many reasons you should play Fallout 3 on your PC. Here's an excerpt…
"The modding community has really been quite incredible for Fallout 3 and literally every day, new add-ons and changes are being made for the game allowing you to always have a fresh experience. There is something for everyone and these mods allow you to play the game exactly as you want, you can literally change anything and create anything."
What time is it? It's time for Todd Time! Kotaku's Stephen Totilo has a pair of blog posts with him — discussing iPhone development and how Fallout 3 DLC has come to an end. Here's a snippet from the latter:
"The game's executive producer, Todd Howard of Bethesda Softworks, told me last week in Dallas at QuakeCon that he's happy with the roll-out. 'We knew we wanted to do three initially and we'll see where that goes,' he said. 'I kind of had in my mind that the upper limit was five. Part of that was what I think people are willing to continue to pay for a game. And a lot of that is our own internal bandwidth.'"
The good news is, there's still plenty of DLC coverage out there. GameShark has a guide to getting all of the achievements for Mothership Zeta, while new reviews can be found at Crispy Gamer and Worth Playing.
That's all for today!
Update: Kotaku has a small piece discussing some of the pieces…err staff that have contributed to Brink.

Update to Android 4.4.1 on Nexus 10 eliminates translucent bars
0. phoneArena posted on 04 Nov 2013, 00:59
Apparently,Google has had enough of a problem getting Android 4.4 to run on the Nexus 10 tablet, that it will make changes in Android 4.4.1 to eliminate the translucent status on the slate; the translucent bars, basically for navigation and notifications, allow wallpaper to use every pixel on the screen. But making the bars translucent puts more demand on the slate's hardware which is where the Nexus 10 is having troubles...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. mr.techdude (Posts: 571; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
I herd that the nexus 10 battery is not that impresive cause of that high res display.
10. xfire99 (Posts: 940; Member since: 14 Mar 2012)
Nexus 10 1gen can last whole day on 1 charge, depends on usages and spec says 9H video. Reviews various between 7.5-10H and draw own conclusion.
Nexus 10 2Gen rumours to have 9500mah, possiblity Tegra 4 (ASUS TF701 has it) and how power efficiency its gonna be. Its just w8 and see after it released.
Im satisfied with 10H hard usages and just released god damn tab. I want one now! :p
19. ghaniosman (Posts: 78; Member since: 06 Jun 2013)
Although it's processor's architecture is based on ARM- A15 process but still its a dual-core, that might be one of the reasons..
2. D.Aceveda (Posts: 396; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
That tablet should of had a tegra 3
3. tech2 (Posts: 3487; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
Yeah that's right. Why not bring a 40nm chip which is not only older and less powerful than Exynos 5250 but also consumes huge battery to a tablet which is already giving an output of 7 hours of Wifi as against its rival iPad 4 which gives 10 hours of Wifi !
5. D.Aceveda (Posts: 396; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
It had superior GPU. Which the N10 needed for its resolution. The tegra 3 being 40nm doesn't mean much since the N10 had a huge battery. Stop being mad
7. Felix_Gatto (Posts: 933; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
Ha haa..... you're wrong buddy, tegra 3 is too weak for 1600p screen. Have you ever seen a tegra 3 tablet with 1600p screen? Mali-t604 are powerful enough to push 1600p screen because according to benchmark, it's slightly faster than adreno 320 which is more powerful than tegra 3.
22. medicci37 (Posts: 1335; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
Are you serious? Tegra 3 would be to weak for 1600p display. You obviously don't know what your talking about
26. D.Aceveda (Posts: 396; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
Are you high?
20. tech2 (Posts: 3487; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
1. I am the one being mad XD...yeah right !
2. If you care to mention Google as a 'source' (ROFL) then atleast care to use.
BTW, here is a link:
3. Exynos not only beats Tegra 3 in CPU performance but also in GPU department.
@1:22 Nexus 7 (2012) with Tegra 3 outputs 10FPS in gaming benchmark while Nexus 10 at 35FPS and that is not even accounting the amount of pixels Nexus 10 pushing !
P.S. - No need to act so abnoxious when you're making statements without any knowledge or research !
35. D.Aceveda (Posts: 396; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
32. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
That isn't true at all. The GPU in the Tegra 3 couldn't even stand up to the A5 chip in the iPad 2/mini. The Mali-T604 in the Exynos 5250 however beats the A5X chip by a fair margin, essentially making it have over triple the performance of the Tegra 3's GPU.
Based on Egypt HD (Offscreen 1080p), the Nexus 10 has nearly quadruple the score of the Tegra 3, 3.65x to be more accurate. Even with onscreen, where the Nexus 10 has over 4 times the pixels to push, it still has double the performance.
TL;DR - No. Mali-T604 = about 4x Tegra 3.
36. D.Aceveda (Posts: 396; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
Tegra 3 > Everything you named
4. imMature (Posts: 87; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
Why? Or did you meant Tegra 4?
6. D.Aceveda (Posts: 396; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
Tegra 3. Tegra 4 wasn't available at the time the N10 was launched
9. imMature (Posts: 87; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
well, care to explain why it needed tegra 3? Could it be the other theory by the XDA member that said that it couldn't handle overlays?
Anyway, I don't think that Tegra 3 can handle that 'cause even on the previous Nexus 7, games doesn't really perform smoothly. Well, that could also due to the cheap memory thing or what not.. What makes you think so anyway..
12. Felix_Gatto (Posts: 933; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
I agree with you
Mali t-604>Adreno 320>tegra 3
23. JojoGo101 (Posts: 211; Member since: 17 Dec 2012)
He obviously is just a fan of NVidia.I am too, but not for mobile. The Tegra 3 sucked.
25. D.Aceveda (Posts: 396; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
lol. Not at all

Awwwwww what?
Try again
29. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
ROFL The Exynos Dual was the only GPU that could run that resolution at the time. Yes, I didn't mean the best solution, which it was, but the ONLY solution. The current Qualcomm S4 PRO clocked out at 1920 x 1200 max resolution and I wouldn't be surprised if the Tegra 3 had the same resolution restriction but even if it didn't, it would have ran it more s**t than it did the Nexus 7 2012 and that only had a 1280 X 800 screen to push.
The Exynos Dual A15 was the ONLY solution powerful enough at the time. Unless they went with a 1920 X 1200 resolution but they still would have been better off using the Exynos either way.

As a former Nexus 10 owner myself, I think what it comes down to is that the resolution on the Nexus 10 was really just a few months ahead of its time, I think the overall experience would of been much better off with an Exynos 5410 Octa which comes with the PowerVR GPU & DDR3 RAM. I'm aware that this Exynos variant didn't pop up until a few months after the fact, along with the fact this combination wouldn't make this device hiccup free, however I'm convinced this would of prevented a lot of the issues I personally ran into for months including random resets/freezes/stutter due to insufficient memory & the 2 cores/GPU being stretched to it's limits.
Not that Samsung would of opted for any other chipset than it's own for a Wi-Fi only device, but a Tegra 3 was probably barely enough to power the N10 on lol, so considering the only other available option at that time, the S4 Pro, may of worked out OK with a GPU/CPU tweak/over clock to accommodate the Full HD+ display.Unfortunately I no longer have my Nexus 10, so I won't be able to see if some of the hardware shortcomings may possibly be redeemed by the optimizations in 4.4.
Whenever this Nexus 10 refresh is announced, it's great to know that CPU/GPU & other internals have fully caught up to today's flagship tablet displays. Based on the improvements with this years Nexus 7 refresh, I'm sure we can expect the similar important upgrades with the N10.

Exactly, good to see feedback from someone who owned it, the Nexus 10 as you put it lacks the horsepower to push all those pixels, which is understandable given the tablet's release, heck even Apple had trouble with the iPad 3 being underpowered for its resolution and launched the iPad 4 later the same year. Looking forward to see what will Google do with the Nexus 10, S800 should be enough for it to tick along smoothly.

You should have waited. After a few updates it became the smoothest device I ever owned. That includes just about everything and is too numerous to list but these are the smoothest devices I have owned HTC 8x, iphone 4s, iphone 5, iphone 5s(although the fly in animation stutters a bit), ipad 2, ipad 3.
But yeah the Nexus 10 performance is still the benchmark for me right now. Never tried the ipad 4 or Air yet and the Nexus 10 performs much smoother than the Xperia Tablet Z imo.
My Nexus 7 2013 still stutters a bit when scrolling through the widget pages in the app drawer while my Nexus 10 never does.

A DRUG gang is responsible for the dismemberment killings of 16 people just west of Mexico City over the past 10 days, prosecutors say.
The latest six cut-up bodies were found early on Wednesday in the city of Toluca. They were wrapped in plastic bags like the other victims found since January 14. All were allegedly lookouts or informants for rival gangs.
Toluca, just west of Mexico City, is the capital of Mexico State, and had been largely been spared Mexico's drug violence.
The public safety secretary of Mexico State, Salvador Neme, said 11 people were detained for the killings, including a teenager.
Neme said the gang of killers was led by an army deserter who said he worked for the La Familia drug cartel.
The cartel once dominated neighbouring Michoacan state, but is now fighting other gangs for control of the area.
All of the victims had supposedly been killed at a cemetery outside of Toluca and dumped in groups or singly, in vehicles or on roadways.
The killings come at a sensitive time. President Enrique Pena Nieto, the former governor of Mexico State, has pledged to recalibrate the fight against drug cartels in a bid to reduce drug violence.

Although you could ask in the Processor community (http://communities.intel.com/community/tech/processors) for more information, I believe you'll find that the Atom would *not* be best utilized for a server system. Looking at http://www.intel.com/technology/atom/ , you've got features like "extended battery life", which shouldn't be a server concern at all. I think it'd be the wrong tool for the job...

Ok, it's over. You have your Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge from the Bankruptcy Court. What now? Do these seven things to tie up your loose ends and begin your fresh start the right way!
1 Keep
Keep your Discharge Order. Keep your lawyer's contact information. Keep a folder or shoebox with all your documents from the bankruptcy. After a bankruptcy some sketchy bad debt buyers will try and collect on a debt that was eliminated in your bankruptcy. Be ready to send them a copy of your Discharge Order and a stern letter stating that this debt was bankrupted. If they don't stop, call your bankruptcy lawyer and let her chew on them.
2 Calendar
Buy a big giant calendar that you can write on. Write your mortgage and car loan due dates on it and pay 7 days before the due date. Because computers keep track of our payments now, they like payments to come in on the same day every month and never late. This is good for your credit rating.
3 Insurance
Check insurance policies on the mortgage or car loan that you kept after the bankruptcy. Review them for correct information and update if needed. Make sure you are not still paying insurance if you gave back a house or car.
4 Banking
Review any automatic bill payments that were stopped because of the bankruptcy. If you kept your house or car after the bankruptcy you will need to contact the lenders to start those again. Set up an automatic savings plan.
5 Un-bankrupt-able
Ok, it's not a word but it does have a meaning. Five kinds of debts cannot be discharged: 1) child support or alimony, 2) student loans, 3) recent taxes, 4) money damages for things you did while you were drunk, 5) fraud or theft. I'm going to assume you have 1, 2 or 3. Contact your student loan lender to take advantage of long-term payout options. First, make sure your child support is paid; they can lock you up for that. Contact the IRS and make arrangements to pay, before things get out of control.
6 Liens
If you kept a car or house that has a lien on it, call the lienholder and make arrangements to pay. They can't make you pay them, but the lien survives bankruptcy, so they CAN come get it.
7 Be watchful
Check your credit reports from all three agencies regularly to see if bankrupted debts pop up. Dispute them promptly. If you get a lawsuit for a bankrupted debt, file an Answer with the Plaintiff and the Court and include a copy of your bankruptcy discharge. If you don't, they will get a judgment against you and that could make a dead debt live again!


text: Editorial: Meth menace January 28, 2014 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia's meth curse nearly doubled last year. Police found 533 of the illegal dope-cooking labs statewide, up from 288 the previous year. Kanawha County led the sorry tally with 159 labs."It's an epidemic, a cancer and a scourge on the state," Kanawha Commission President Kent Carper told Statehouse reporter Eric Eyre.Crystal meth addiction ruins young West Virginians and their families, fills jails with abusers and poisons motel rooms and rented apartments where the toxic narcotic is brewed. Cleaning up a tainted lab site can cost a landlord as much as $17,000 -- and many of them seek repayment from the state Crime Victims Fund.Since the number of labs skyrocketed in 2013, it's obvious that West Virginia's computer system that tracks pharmacy sales of cold remedies isn't solving the crisis.As long as criminal drug-makers can send "smurf" stooges to pharmacies to buy over-the-counter pseudoephedrine packets like Sudafed and Claritin-D, then convert the pills into a habit-forming narcotic, the illicit racket will thrive.The only real cure for this mess is to require prescriptions for pseudoephedrine purchases. Two states that utilize this safeguard enjoyed huge reductions in meth labs. But pharmaceutical flacks (like state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, a former drug lobbyist), argue that it would be inconvenient to force multitudes of sinus sufferers to make doctor visits. That argument was deflated by Statehouse reporter Eric Eyre, who found that only 2 percent of West Virginians buy as many as three packages of the decongestants per year. Also, Charleston physician-pharmacist Bradley Henry said most doctors simply phone in prescriptions for such simple medications, without requiring patients to make office visits.Also, Dr. Henry says Sudafed-type pills have little effect, reducing symptoms by a mere 6 percent.New tamper-resistant cold pills are coming on the market. They're worthless to criminals who want pills to convert into illegal dope. A reform bill currently before the Legislature would require prescriptions for most pseudoephedrine -- but allow tamper-resistant brands to remain available over-the-counter.One of the brands, Nexafed, published newspaper ads saying its usage will "help deter meth production in your community." Fruth pharmacies switched to tamper-resistant pills "to help cut back the availability of meth-making medications to criminals."The state Board of Pharmacy supports the prescription solution for the meth nightmare.Officers of the Kanawha County Metro Drug Unit likewise support it. "We can't keep up with the meth lab crisis," Detective Clark Green said. "If all it takes to help us with this problem is to put pseudoephedrine behind the counter, we need to do it."Go for it, we say. If more states adopt the prescription strategy against meth labs, we predict that all Big Pharma corporations will begin producing sniffle cures that can't be used by drug lords.

I will be throwing a surprise healthy note in amongst a few recipes and
hope you will enjoy this simple post.
I used several sources, including "Prevention" magazine (April, 2014 and
December, 2013) and "Natural Awakenings" (May, 2014 edition of our local
free "magazine."
First of all, seasonal allergies are the worst! I hear several of my friends and
coworkers who have these problems and wished to share a few suggestions,
using natural and healthy choices.
A moderate intensity workout, a 'jog,' can actually help your symptoms!
Who would have thought, since you will need to be outdoors to jog around?
Thailand did this study, exercise may decrease the body's release of irritating
histamines and other biological mediators. So, this means you can't use the
allergies as an 'excuse' until you have seen if this helps your symptoms!
Another way to naturally 'cure' your allergies is a traditional Chinese way
of handling many ailments: Acupuncture has been known to decrease
patients' dependence on medications, even with allergies. I always like
the way the Chinese say, "Acupuncture brings the body into balance."
Checking out your intake of fruits can actually help you. Your diet can be
making your allergies worse. 1/3 of patients with seasonal allergies, have
immune systems that react to the proteins in foods, in a similar fashion as
the grass, dust and other things that set you off. People with ragweed
allergies typically have reactions to watermelons, cantaloupe and honey
dew melons. People who have found to be allergic to 'birch tree pollen'
(pretty specific, huh?!) have been found to react to kiwifruit, apples, pears,
peaches, plums, coriander, fennel, parsley, celery, cherries, carrots, hazel-
nuts and almonds. My mother is allergic to grass and some weeds, but liked
gardening so much she would try so hard to just use the next method of
handling her allergies.
Pollen clings to clothes, our shoes, skin surfaces, hair, even eyelashes.
When you have hiked or worked in the yard, your common sense may
tell you to go 'rinse off,' but you may dilly dally, sit and have a drink of
pop, water or iced tea. By sitting down, you have created a pollen transfer
to your furniture. This is so fascinating and an easy way to picture this!
So, this is described in the April, '14 "Prevention," like this:
"Taking a shower at night, in addition to in the morning washes the stuff
away and helps you avoid allergen torture while you sleep. Gross but
true: Pollen also clings to the mucus in your nasal passages, so you should
rinse your nose."
The "Neti Pot" is known for helping people stave off colds and also, to clear
mucus passages, with a saline solution. This is another 'new' cure, that I
thought some of you had not tried with allergies.
I liked another passage's descriptive powers, in the same magazine:
"One route to relief is to treat pollen like a nighttime bandit. Keep your
windows and doors shut tight."
You may already know about the 'magical' powers of 'butterbur' as a potent
herb, which contains compounds that block the chemicals released when
you are getting an allergic reaction. A Swiss trial was conducted, using the
amount of 8 mg. tablets of butterbur extract 4 times a day did relieve
the allergic symptoms, just as well as the antihistamine cetrizine. You
can find this in "Zyrtec" and other products similar in its content.
Other natural plant-based treatments include stinging nettle, quercetin
that is found in a number of foods, like grapes, tea, onions and tomatoes,
along with spirulina. This is a nutty tasting nutrient rich, type of algae.
You can take this as a supplement or throw it into a smoothie, as it
can be purchased in powder form, one scoop will do the 'cure!'
Probiotics have become a popular topic, but even while fighting
allergies, guarding your gut, can really help your system manage
better. Scientists and researchers feel that by regulating your immune
system, through the use of probiotics, found in some food products,
like Activia yogurt and you can also purchase in a supplement form.
They have been found to counteract the inflammation in your body,
that causes allergic symptoms.
I hope some of these natural ways to handle your seasonal allergies
will help you or your family members.
I found out that you can use oil from your pantry as a 'cure' for
vaginal dryness. Plant-based oils are safe and non-irritating to
use as lubricants, if needed in a 'pinch.' This is from Dr. Mary Jane
Minkin. For longer term relief, use a gel or cream moisturizer. An
alternative is coconut oil, but check on a small surface, just in case
of allergies.
Now, for some simple 'cures' for stomach stress!
If your stomach is in 'knots:'
Try valerian root extract.
If you are feeling 'bloated:'
Drink hot water with lime.
(I have tried this, since I read it, and it works!)
If you have an upset stomach and/or
Chew a handful of fennel seeds.
(But not if you have 'birch tree' allergies. See above!
I cannot eat foods with fennel seeds, I have found, but
as far as I know am not allergic to any trees! Smile!)
If you feel nauseated:
Try ginger slices.
(I like to drink ginger ale or ginger tea.)
If you ate too much:
Sip fresh lemon balm tea.
(I like to include a slice of lemon, often with just
hot water, if I feel like I am 'too full' and need to
get my tummy feeling better, or the lime slice.)
Here are just a few simple recipes I culled for this post:
Strawberry Peanut Butter Toast
Top 2 slices of multigrain or whole wheat toast with 2 T.
(tablespoons) of peanut butter. I have recently been liking
the Natural Peanut Butter, with simply peanuts and a little
bit of salt in the recipe. The recipe suggests you try an Organic
Peanut Butter.
Layer with sliced strawberries and for a 'twist' add chia seeds
(1 tsp. teaspoonful)
The "Healthy Elvis" Sandwich
This serves 2 people.
4 slices of multigrain or whole wheat bread
3 T. (tablespoons) of almond butter
4 tsp. (teaspoonsful) of crumbled crisp bacon
(about 2 slices were used, the brand given, "Applegate.")
1 T. (tablespoon) of honey
1/2 tsp. (teaspoon) cinnamon
1 lg. banana
1. Arrange bread in even layer on a clean work surface.
2. Stir together almond butter, bacon, honey and cinnamon
in a small bowl.
3. Spread this concoction on bread, dividing it evenly on the
4 slices.
4. Slice banana and put on top of two of the slices of bread.
5. Put sandwiches together, the ones with bananas make the
bottom of each sandwich, (don't want to tip them over!)
6. Put the two sandwiches on a heated grill, I used a little olive oil
or you could splurge with a touch of butter on this! Grilling this
will make amazing sandwiches. Scrumptious!
(If you must know the calorie count is 418 calories for just one
of the sandwiches.)
And, I really missed the idea of marshmallow fluff, which my Dad
always included in his pretend "Elvis" sammies.

Defendant owned the domain names "seattlelaptops.com" and "seattlelaptoprepair.com," among other "Seattle laptop" domain names. Defendant began using the two disputed domain names to redirect users to defendant's primary website at "A1bestcomputer.com." Plaintiff sued for cybersquatting under the ACPA and moved for summary judgment. The court held that plaintiff did not meet its burden for summary judgment because it fell short of demonstrating bad faith on the part of defendant. In particular, defendant stopped using the domain names "less than a month" after first using them and offered to transfer the domain names to plaintiff for free. The court also held that defendant had a strong argument that the Seattle laptop mark was neither distinctive nor famous because both "Seattle" and "laptop" were "such obvious terms to use in promoting a Seattle business that deals in laptops."

Safety concerns prompt authorities to crack down on roadside 'canning' fundraisers
College students do it.
Firefighters do it.
In fact, despite a state law prohibiting pedestrians from standing on roadways to solicit contributions from passing motorists, thousands do it every year.
Some municipalities look the other way when it comes to their fire departments' annual "fill-the-boot" campaigns or college students' can collections for children with cancer.
Recently, however, municipal officials across the nation who are concerned about safety and liability have gotten tough on roadside collections — often called "canning" or coin drops. They've passed ordinances banning them, started to enforce state laws that prohibit them or restricted collectors to parking lots or quiet streets.
From Wichita to Washington, officials are wrestling with the fund drives, which peak in the fall when the weather is mild and students are back in school.
Locally, Bethel Park, Cranberry, Ross and Whitehall enforce laws that ban canning.
Safety first priority
In areas without police departments, such as Hempfield, state police say they actively enforce the state's law banning roadside solicitations.
"Our main concern is somebody getting hurt," said state police spokesman Trooper Steve Limani of the Greensburg barracks. "Once they step onto Route 30, they can be cited for creating traffic hazards and other offenses."
Violators may be fined $25, but that cost can climb to more than $100 with the added costs attached to the ticket, Limani said.
Bethel Park police Chief John Mackey takes a no-nonsense approach to the solicitations, which are banned on the heavily traveled, stop-and-go roads of his South Hills community.
"We can't have people walking in and out of traffic," he said.
The roadside campaigns have landed some fundraisers in trouble.
Last week, a fire department boot campaign in the upstate New York town of Fort Ann made headlines because state police cited three firefighters for collecting funds along a local road. The biannual campaigns make up about 10 percent of the small department's budget, a spokesman said. The firefighters will appear before a judge next month.
In Pennsylvania, police in Newtown, Bucks County, shut down a collection by students representing the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon known as THON.
It's an issue that's front and center with organizers of THON, a yearlong fundraising and awareness campaign to fight pediatric cancer that involves about 15,000 students across the state and has raised more than $100 million since 1977.
"We spent the summer contacting more than 300 towns/municipalities to learn what they permit and do not permit in terms of fundraising," THON spokeswoman Dana Giacobello said.
Last year, THON raised nearly $13 million. More than $10 million of that came from can collections, online donations and giving via text messaging, according to the group's official Summary of Fundraising activities.
"Canning is an important part of that. It gives all the volunteers an opportunity to participate in fundraising," Giacobello said.
Firefighters in Fairfax County, Va., last month set a record in their fill-the-boot campaign for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, raising more than $600,000.
Funds raised through such drives help provide comprehensive health care services to families served by the MDA and help fund research for treatments and cures.
"Firefighters are an integral part of MDA's mission to end muscle-wasting diseases," said MDA President and CEO Steven M. Derks. "They're incredible allies to have in this fight to find lifesaving treatments and cures."
Irwin firefighters hold two boot drives each year to raise money for the fire department.
"It helps the fire department," said Robert Cervi, 84, a firefighter/EMT with 65 years of service. "We're not doing too bad for a small department; we're holding our own. But it helps."
'Not worth the effort'
Some local fill-the-boot drives have waned in recent years.
"It's not worth the effort," said Terry Chambon, chief of the Highland Hose Volunteer Fire Company in Tarentum.
Many towns have tried to work with charities by allowing canning at storefronts but not at intersections, Giacobello said. And police will try to offer warnings when possible, Limani said.
Some towns, such as Greensburg, still allow coin drops.
Penn State students collected donations there on Saturday for the THON campaign.
"We've had no problems or complaints from motorists," police Chief Wally Lyons said. "The students have been quite cooperative."
The city handles requests for canning on a case-by-case basis, he said.
"There's a big difference between canning and panhandling," Lyons said.
In Butler, firefighters stress safety during their annual fill-the-boot drive.
It's done during the city's Christmas parade when Main Street is closed and firefighters in reflective vests move along the street, said fire Chief George Ban Jr. Other firefighters collect funds in front of the fire station, where traffic cones are set up.
"I've been here 23 years, and that's the way we've always done it," said Ban, who has seen volunteers from other campaigns mixing with moving traffic. "I'm amazed somebody didn't get hit."

The Typewriter Collector
By Suzanne BuzekRichard Polt romanticizes the writing process. Being professor and chair of the Department of Philosophy, Polt?s fetish for writing is conducive to his field of study. However, it should be noted that when he spends hours staring at a computer screen without progress, when the distractions of the web or e-mail smother his creativity, or when he suffers blank Word document syndrome, he simply turns the computer off and returns to a method of writing that he has used since age 12: the classic, old-fashioned typewriter.
?My interest in typewriters goes back to the ?70s when my dad bought me a 1930s typewriter at a garage sale,? Polt says. ?This is the typewriter that got me hooked?I just thought it was so beautiful?and I used it into graduate school until I got my first computer in 1989.?
The Remington Noiseless Model 7 sits proudly in his office, among dozens?scores, actually?of other typewriters. Polt got serious about the machines 15 years ago when he found out about 19th-century typewriters from Paul Lippman?s American Typewriters: A Collector?s Encyclopedia. His oldest machine, from 1889, is a Hammond?s Number One.
?I love all of the typewriters for some reason because there?s a story behind each one of them,? says Polt.
With a collection now nearing 200, Polt has sentimental feelings for each of his typewriters, whether he buys them from the Internet because of their rarity or from the thrift store because of their ordinariness. He sees in each machine a hope of someday writing on them, even if they require a lot of work and maintenance.
?I was pretty timid about fixing them up at first, but I?ve gradually gotten bolder in seeing what I can fix,? he says. ?There aren?t any written rules for an unusual typewriter, so you just have to take it apart and try to understand it. A lot of things can be fixed with a screwdriver if you just pay attention. That?s one of the nice things, that you can actually understand how typewriters work.?
Of the typewriters that cover the many shelves in his office, there are quite a few worth noting. One is gold-plated Royal similar to that on which Ian Flemming, author of the James Bond books, typed. And there are other rarities with special meanings, as well.
?I was contacted by a Holocaust survivor living in the area who wanted to give me his typewriter, and it?s a Hebrew typewriter,? Polt says. ?That was a meaningful gift. This man had used it to write the newsletter for a synagogue after coming to America.
?I have one that was made in Germany but sold in Czechoslovakia, and it was labeled to look as though it was made in the United States,? Polt continues. ?It?s in English and standard portable. I think the Czechs, justifiably, were friendlier towards Americans than they were to the Germans in the ?30s. This was owned by a Czech man who had emigrated to American and brought this with him.?
Polt is also lending a German typewriter, called the Ideal, to a movie company filming a scene in German Army barracks during World War I in the movie ?Suckerpunch.? The movie company, like many of Polt?s growing circle of typewriter friends, found and contacted him through his web site.
?There are hundreds of typewriter collectors around the world, but nobody else serious in Cincinnati,? he says. ?So just about everything we talk about is over the Internet and every so often we get to meet each other in person.
?Another way we all keep in touch is through the magazine, ETCetera,? Polt continues. ?People send in material from all around the world, and I do the layout and some editorial work. There?s more news than you might think. It seems that there?s always some new kind of typewriter to be discovered that nobody?s ever heard of.?
Ultimately, it all comes back to the writing and the magic of its process. Not only does Polt enjoy taking a break from the computer when it comes to work, but his hobby has helped his students in their writing.
?I?ve given some typewriters to students if they are having trouble writing or concentrating on the computer,? says Polt. ?There?s something about the fact that you can?t always delete and rearrange on a typewriter, and writing on the typewriter makes it not so easy as opposed to writing on the computer, and a lot of people like that.?

Slide Show: Murdered Champ Remembered
NEW YORK (CBS) Boxing champion Arturo Gatti was known as a tough-as-nails fighter, who would not back down from a challenge. He rose to win the WBC junior welterweight title in 2004 and fought three stunning smash-mouth battles against Micky Ward, a series of fights that some have called the best of the 2000s. Ward would later become a good friend.
His take-no-prisoners style made him a hometown favorite in Italy - his native land, Montreal - the city where he grew up, and Jersey City, N.J. - the town he spent most of his adult life.
But Gatti's world came crashing down July 11. He was murdered while he slept at a posh Brazilian resort. He was there with his wife, Amanda Rodrigues, whom he had once met while she was dancing at a Brazilian strip club. They have a 1-year-old child.
Brazilian police now say Rodrigues killed her husband. They say she was unable to explain a more than 10-hour span in which she did not notice her dead husband in the hotel room they shared. Rodrigues is now in custody.
Crimesider takes a look back at the slain champion's life.

Chapter 1: Lost at SeaEdit
The game starts out with a long cutscene onboard a Cruiseliner, where we find young Aidan Sanders, and his pet monkey Hobo. Before long, the ship sinks, landing Aiden on a small island rich in coconuts with a few sticks and vines. Aiden also has a suitcase he washed up with. Eventually he uses some sticks and vines to turn the suitcase into a raft and floats to a larger island. The raft sinks, leaving Aiden hanging by his fingertips on a cliff-face, but luckily the game's female protaganist, Lucy Raine, is there to help pull him up to safety. Lucy has a dog named Max, and the pets actually have some function within the game, helping set traps and harvest various resources. Lucy has built a Camp nearby, in a sheltered alcove by the south beach. The two survive their first night, and quickly decide to build a signal fire on the Beach. Completing the Signal Fire triggers a major change that I shall refer to as Chapter 2, as follows.
Chaper 2: Hopeless? (working title)Edit
After the signal fire is built, a cutscene will trigger, featuring a massive storm, a cruize ship in the distance, and a very sad story from Lucy. During the rain, Aidan and Lucy are hiding at their camp trying to get out of the rain, and they hear the horn on a large ship. They rush out and light the fire, but it's too dark for the ship to see the smoke, so it sails right past. Lucy breaks down, crying "I'm sorry... so sorry", until Aiden finds an Oil Drum, takes it back to camp, and builds a Bath/shower thing out of it. She calms down after soaking for a while, and tells Aiden that she had run away from home, snuck on to the cruize ship that they were on, and then got shipwrecked there. They decide that there's nothing to do about it now, and keep on keeping on. Shortly there after, they find Gord, (or rather, he finds them) and they work together for a short while. He fixes them a meal, out of poisenous mushrooms, and Gord tells them that he has medicine at his camp. He also says that he knocked down the log in the forest, allow access to a new region of the island. ((I'll finish this in the next few days, assuming no one else beats me to it, have to go. :/ -Cap't Z.))

Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker was all smiles with her 4 1/2-year-old twin daughters Tabitha (green sweater) and Loretta in New York City on Tuesday (April 22). The fashionable trio got a serious case of the giggles as they headed to preschool.
Last week, the group were joined by the nanny as they headed to class in the Big Apple.
In true Carrie Bradshaw form, SJP has teamed up with Manolo Blahnik to launch a shoe collection sold at Nordstrom.
The actress, 49, recently talked to CNN about taking on the new role as designer.
"I am in a position to choose to be busy," she said. "There are millions of women in this country who have to work two or three jobs, who don't have the support system, who don't have the financial means to choose the kind of care they want for their children."
She added: "When I ride on the subway, every day I can see in someone's eyes that they're off to their second or third job in the day, and that they haven't seen their kids, and they're leaving their children someplace that they'd rather not. And so it seems ridiculous for me to wax on about how busy I am or how hard it is to balance these things in my life."
SJP and her husband, fellow actor Matthew Broderick, are also parents to 11-year-old son James Wilkie.View Slideshow »»

Oregon Student Turns to Facebook to Deal with a Bully [VIDEO]
My faith in the next generation strengthens everyday. I was impressed with how 11-year-old Caine Smith has decided to deal with bullying. I feel the same way about Halsey Parkerson of Salem, Oregon.
While it's dismaying to see how Facebook has been used in recent years to advance the repulsive cause that IS bullying, Halsey decided to use the social network to his ADVANTAGE in dealing with a kid who'd been giving him trouble.
The bully was repeatedly telling Halsey that he had no friends. When he told his aunt about the situation, she went to one of her Facebook group pages and posted an invitation to anyone who'd be willing to show up at Halsey's high school for a lunchtime meeting.
They showed up in droves as Halsey confronted the kid who'd been giving him a hard time. And, what do you know? He apologized.
Bullying may be a new epidemic–or, at least, the WAY kids are bullied–but the solution has always been the same:
Stand up to them and they will back down. And THAT is the epidemic that needs to continue to spread.

In 2013, the Chilean Citrus Committee will focus on motivating retailers to build big, eye-catching Chilean citrus displays, said Karen Brux, North American managing director of the Chilean Fresh Fruit Association, Sonoma, Calif.
"We're hoping to increase the flow of information to retailers through ongoing product and promotion updates, giving them the information they need to make the best decisions on product promotion," Brux said.
Summer sales vitality
While on one hand the committee understands the popularity of domestic summer fruit, research has shown that consumers want to eat citrus on a year-round basis, she said.
With that in mind, the committee is developing retail collateral and promotions that will enable retailers to keep building on the citrus sales momentum gained during the winter months.
"Chilean citrus can add some new energy to produce departments that tend to be dominated by stone fruit during the summer," Brux said.
Clementines will be a major focus of that campaign.
"We believe there are great opportunities to promote Chilean clementines and mandarins as the perfect summer snack," Brux said.
"With the active summer months approaching, families are looking for healthy, on-the-go snacks to take to the park, baseball game or pool. Chile's easy-peelers make snacking refreshing, healthy and convenient."
Snacks, school lunches
The committee is encouraging retailers to line up clementine ads and promotions for early summer. Clementines can still be promoted later in the summer when navels are added to the mix.
And as summer winds down, the committee will push retailers to promote easy-peelers as an easy, nutritious, delicious back-to-school option.
"Kids love the 'easy-peel' message, so retailers should appeal to them at the point of sale," Brux said.

Britney Spears loves Kevin Federline
a href="/">
Britney Spears reportedly wants to renew her wedding vows after giving birth to her second child in October to show that she is happily married to Kevin Federline despite rumors saying she's been looking for a divorce lawyer. Additionally, she's also given Kevin Federline a black American Express card with no credit limit as a romantic gesture ?to prove how much she trusts him.?
I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen this, but clearly Kevin Federline is using his superior intellect to manipulate Britney into doing all sorts of bizarre things like giving him a credit card worth an unlimited amount of money. She might as well just pack up and move into a Motel 6, because I'm pretty sure they're going to confiscate her mansion when Kevin comes home one day and tells her he bought a brand new island off eBay.

What matters the most is the relevancy of the keywords you choose rather than the density. This is actually basic marketing: you have to understand what and how your potential customers are searching to be easy to be found. The easiest way to do it is to ask yourself that question: «What product/service/informations do I sell/offer?». The answers has to be really accurate to be relevant.
Then you put yourself in your prospective customer's shoes: what is he the most likely to type in? We recommend you to chose 2-3 sentences for your keywords instead of one-word ones, it will send you much higher quality traffic. Also, be careful to chose neither too specific nor too vague terms. And eventually, if you hesitate between two words variant or word order and can't afford both, pick the one that seems the most popular among users.
You can look at those used by your direct competitors in their Titles and Meta Descriptions to find some inspiration. Using tools, such as Google Adwords or Google Trend, is also a good thing for it provides you keywords and reflects what the user seeks and so the Search Volume. The Search Volume is indeed essential. As a matter of fact the more people look for a word the more you get to reach a large audience.
On the other hand, if too many websites are competing for the same keywords, you might rank lower than expected. This is why you should be aware of the Long Tail keywords. These are 4+ keywords phrases with low competition. They are responsible for 70% of the traffic over the Internet and bring few but engaged users to your website. It's up to you now to find the balance between too competitive and not relevant enough
And finally, being well ranked is not permanent: it has to be updated. You must keep expanding your keyword's list! Next time we'll tell you everything about how to position your keywords to be as well ranked as possible.

A man allegedly punched, kicked and stomped on his girlfriend after going through her phone and discovering numbers he didn't recognize.
A woman picked up her boyfriend, Jakorrium Kendrale Johnson, and the couple drove to her residence at 8:30 a.m. Thursday. Once inside, the woman said Johnson, 20, started going through her phone.
When Johnson asked the woman about phone numbers he didn't recognize, the woman said she didn't want to argue and went into the bathroom, according to an arrest affidavit.
The woman said Johnson barged in after her, closed his fists and began punching her in the head and ribs.
After a couple of punches, the woman said she fell onto the ground in a fetal position, trying to protect herself. But Johnson began kicking her and stomping her with both of his feet, the affidavit stated. Johnson finally stopped beating her and the couple went to the store.
When they returned to her residence, the woman ran inside her home and locked Johnson out. During that time, she called police and told them she was fearful for her life because Johnson had been abusing her for a while, the affidavit stated.
When officers spoke with the woman, she was visibly distraught and crying. The officer saw a fresh abrasion that was bleeding on top of the woman's forehead near her hairline as well as a bruised left eye, the affidavit stated.
Justice of the Peace Bill Cooke arraigned Johnson on a charge of assault with bodily injury, setting his bail at $5,000.
In separate incidences, Cooke also arraigned:
- Jack Lee Clearihue, 25, on a charge of assault, setting his bail at $50,000.
- Jose Valenzuela, 19, on a charge of possession of methamphetamine, less than 1 gram, setting his bail at $20,000.
- Justina Marie Spada, 24, on a charge of possession of methamphetamine, less than 1 gram, setting her bail at $20,000.

PIRATES boss Neil Middleditch insists it would be a mistake to read too much into tonight's season-opening clash with Lakeside.
Coastal Aluminium Poole entertain the Hammers in a challenge match with the full one-to-seven in action for the first time.
With the campaign very much in its infancy, Middleditch believes that no trends for the forthcoming year will be set just yet.
He told the Daily Echo: "I think it's too early to say that this meeting is going to set a benchmark, but it will be nice to see the boys race as a team for the first time this season.
"It's very early days. The speedway season is a marathon not a sprint, so it's just a case of getting their racing heads back on and seeing how things go.
"Lakeside have Peter Karlsson as well as Davey Watt, who knows his way round Poole, and with Lewis Bridger and Mikkel Bech Jensen on board they are a strong team now.
"It's going to be a good test for us, that's for sure."
Meanwhile, Pirates asset Chris Holder will ride in the Elite Shield first leg at Swindon tomorrow in place of fellow Aussie Darcy Ward.
Number one Ward is expected to return for the Elite League opener against Eastbourne on Wednesday, April 9.
Promoter Matt Ford said: "Chris feels he needs the track time to be ready for the New Zealand Grand Prix, so as it's early in the season we can get him on the track without it causing a problem."
Poole Pirates: Ward, Grajczonek, Pawlicki, Milik, Janowski, Newman, Smart.
Lakeside Hammers: Karlsson, Lawson, Bridger, Jensen, Watt, Ellis, Morley.

Cramahe is a township facing Lake Ontario in Northumberland County. The first store in the area opened 1819 in Colborne. Cramahe was incorporated as a township in 1850. Colborne became incorporated in its own right in 1858. The two re-amalgamated when the township was reorganized as a municipality in 2001.
The Archives of Ontario supply a map of the county dated between 1945 and 1951 which shows the old townships of Northumberland and their placement geographically.
Research Tips
The primary source for basic documents (vital statistics, land records, wills) for people who lived in the Province of Ontario is the Archives of Ontario, 134 Ian Macdonald Blvd, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M7A 2C5.
Early Records
Civil registration did not begin in the province until 1869. Before then there may be church records of baptisms and burials. For the most part these are still held by the denomination who recorded them. Copies of marriage records made pre-1869 had to be sent by individual clergymen to the registrar of the county in which the marriage took place. These marriage records are available through Ontario Archives, on micorfilm through LDS libraries, and on paid and unpaid websites, but because they were copied at the registrars' offices, they cannot be considered a primary source.
Vital Records after 1869
Birth, marriage and death registrations are not open to the public until a specific number of years after the event occurred. Births to 1915 are now available [October 2014]; dates for marriages and deaths are later. Birth and death registration was not universally carried out in the early years after its adoption. Deaths were more apt to be reported than births for several years. The more rural the area, the less likely it would be that these happenings were reported to the authorities.
Land Records and Wills
Information on how to access land records and wills is best sought on the Archives of Ontario website. An ancestor's land holding might be found on Canadian County Atlas Digital Project if he was in occupancy circa 1878.
Association for the Preservation of Ontario Land Registry Office Documents (APOLROD). A list of Land Registry Offices for all Counties of Ontario.
The original censuses are in the hands of Library and Archives Canada, known to Canadians as "LAC". Copies of original microfilms are online at the LAC website for all censuses up to 1911. Each census database is preceded with an explanation of the geographical area covered, the amount of material retained (some census division material has been lost), the questions on the census form, and whether there is a name index. Census divisions were redrawn as the population increased and more land was inhabited. The 1921 census is only available through Ancestry.ca, but it is free-to-view.
