This book develops the concept of the corporatist catch-all party to explain how the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has responded to changing demands from women over the past forty years. Otto Kirchheimer's classic study argues that when catch-all parties reach out to new constituencies, they are forced to decrease the involvement of membership to facilitate doctrinal flexibility. In a corporatist catch-all party, however, societal interests are represented within the party organization and policy making is the result of internal party negotiation. Through an investigation of CDU policy making in the issue areas of abortion policy, work-family policy, and participation policy, this book demonstrates that sometimes the CDU mobilizes rather than disempowers membership. An important lesson of this study is that a political party need not sacrifice internal democracy and ignore its members in order to succeed at the polls.Read more
- Explains Chancellor Angela Merkel's rise to power
- Studies the policies toward women of the Christian Democratic Union, Germany's most important political party
- Investigates conservative women, a group that is rarely studied
Reviews & endorsements
"Sarah Wiliarty provides a fascinating look inside one of the largest and most important political parties in Europe. In closely analyzing a 'traditional' party's response to gender issues, in developing a new and compelling perspective on party organization, and in linking the empirical literature on political parties to normative democratic theory, this book deserves a wide audience."
– David Art, Tufts UniversitySee more reviews
"This is one of the most important works yet written on one of the most important political parties in modern Europe. Sarah Wiliarty's insightful analysis of the CDU's internal dynamics is a major contribution to our understanding of a key player in German democracy. It also offers a fresh perspective on how organizational structures shape intra-party policy making."
– Clay Clemens, The College of William & Mary
"Was Angela Merkel's rise to become the first woman chancellor in German history an accident of party politics or a miracle of gender representation? Wiliarty shows how both party politics and women's mobilization transformed the CDU, a religious, conservative party, away from its patriarchal ideas about women and family (called 'traditional') and led not only to Merkel's breakthrough role but to her party's leadership in providing paid family leave for women and men. But even more fundamentally, Wiliarty shows that careful attention to gender politics can explain a great deal about how parties themselves function. The corporatist catch-all party that Wiliarty describes as the CDU model may be increasingly the style for all political parties in the age of identity politics and multiple interest groups vying for influence."
– Myra Marx Ferree, University of Wisconsin
"This is an excellent piece of research, utilizing high-quality, historical, and comparative methodology to answer the timely question of how conservative political parties respond to women's demands. The quality and scope of the analysis will allow the book to reach a broad international audience at undergraduate, graduate, and scholarly levels."
– Kathrin Zippel, Northeastern University
"Wiliarty's book is carefully crafted, exceedingly well written, rich in detail, and timely...This book will appeal to scholars of comparative politics broadly and especially those concerned with party politics, gender politics, and European politics. It would be well received by students in upper-division undergraduate and graduate courses on these topics."
– Miki Caul Kittilson, Comparative Political Studies
"Sarah Wiliarty's book ... makes strong empirical and theoretical contributions to the study of German politics, comparative politics more broadly, and gender and politics."
– Louise K. Davidson-Schmich, German Politics and Society

ZZ Top Drummer Frank Beard Finally Grows One
It's one of the ultimate rock 'n' roll ironies: the only guy in ZZ Top without a beard is named Frank Beard. At least, it was, until now. According to a new article in the Austin Chronicle, Beard has finally grown one.
After years of rockin' a bitchin' mustache, the legendary drummer is finally following in the footsteps of Dusty Hill and Billy Gibbons. Admittedly, Beard has a long way to go if he wants to catch up with his famously bearded band mates. In fact, ZZ Top's manager Pablo Gamboa doesn't think Beard's beard even deserves to be called one. Instead, the band and crew are referring to his newly grown facial hair as "the ZZ Goatee".
Both Hill and Gibbons have been growing their beards since the late 70's. On multiple occasions, they have turned down lucrative offers to shave. Along with their signature southern blues rock sound, their beards have become one of the most iconic calling cards of the band, which was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.

Bookmakers are largely siding with Paul Nicholls' The Knoxs in Saturday's Stan James Supporting Greatwood Gold Cup at Newbury but I suggest that's more to do with connections rather than the 10-year-old's form. Yes, he has won three times over fences and twice over 2m4f. But he's also fallen three times in seven starts, including over the C&D on his only appearance this season. If he was trained by anyone else, he'd be twice the current best odds (5/1 with Paddy Power, Stan James and William Hill). If you have to have Nicholls on your side, have a small wager on stablemate Pacha Du Polder. He has proved equally wayward but did win a Grade 2 at Ayr last April and could be a spring horse. The 14/1 with Skybet and William Hill does at least afford an opportunity for an each-way bet.
David Pipe's Garynella has also been popular with punters (5/1 with several layers) but, again, one has to have reservations. Maybe he's been showing up well at home because his record on the track doesn't suggest he's up to winning at this level. He managed just one success in six races over fences in the French Provinces and was beaten a long way on his UK debut at Cheltenham in December. There may well be more to come but you are gambling on potential rather than proof at those odds.
Venetia Williams' stable is in a rich vein of form and her mare Pepite Rose is an 8/1 chance here with bet365, Skybet and Stan James. She won a Listed race at the course last March but her two runs this season suggest she's not really progressed, though she can be forgiven her latest run on heavy going at Ascot. Tony Star is 10/1 with bet365, BetVictor and William Hill but lacks experience and doesn't appear particularly well handicapped and Micheal Flips (a general 12/1) has disappointed this season, but Midnight Sail (9/1 with Paddy Power and Skybet) is a consistent sort and arrives off the back of a victory at Kempton. Wincanton scorer Saved By John could also have each-way claims at bet365 and the sponsors' 14/1 but it's more difficult to make a case for Aintree-bound Ballabriggs, Mahogany Blaze and Bahrain Storm. Mr Gardner is another who may not be the force of old. That leaves BIG FELLA THANKS, who is the selection.
I'll be jumping on the top weight at William Hill's stand-out 9/1 after he came right back to his best when beating Consigliere by more than four lengths over a similar trip at Wincanton with the remainder, including Mr Gardner, strung out like last week's washing. The runner-up won easily at Ayr next time so the form stands up and Big Fella Thanks won this race in 2010 when trained by Paul Nicholls. It looks like Tom George has the old boy firing on all cylinders again and he's the value again despite a 9lb leap in the weights.

It's Pet Poison Awareness Month and a cat's delicate pads can be prone to many hazards. We're back with Vet 101 Q & A with our vet Dr. Rich Goldstein to answer questions about your kitty with his signature warmth, wit and wisdom. Have a question? Sent it to email@example.com
I'm ready for spring cleaning but worried about my cats stepping into something they shouldn't. Any tips? Is it hype or are those natural type cleaning products really safer for cat's paws?
It's time for March Madness! To some, that may bring cheers for college basketball (Go Big Red!). To some, it brings thoughts of shorts and flip flops on the horizon (yeah warm weather!). And to some, it brings the excitement of … Spring cleaning! (OK, maybe "excitement" is too enthusiastic a term for Spring cleaning, unless you are Monica from "Friends"). For those who will be partaking in the annual "scrubbing of the grime" and "tossing to the curb", it seems appropriate that March has also been designated by the ASPCA as Pet Poison Awareness Month.
Many household items, ranging from floor cleaners and disinfectants to plants and foods, can be toxic to our pets. It's important to be aware of them, and what to do if there's exposure. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
- Always read the labels on cleaning products to see what it says about exposure to pets. Most will recommend keeping pets away (i.e. in the other room) until the product has completely dried. Any cleaning product, even pet-safe products, can potentially cause skin irritation (if walked upon), or stomach upset (if ingested), or respiratory symptoms (if inhaled). Best to keep Fluffy out of the room, and ventilate the room until the products are fully dry and aired out.
- If your kitty does come in contact with a cleaning solution, immediately wash the paws in warm water with a mild dish soap (like Dawn or Joy or Palmolive), rinse off the soapy water completely, and dry the feet thoroughly.
- Store household products in cat-proofed cabinets when not in use.
- Put together a Poison Safety Kit to keep in your house (right next to the First Aid Kit that you have!). Among the items it should include are:
- Fresh bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide, with a bulb syringe (to induce vomiting – but only on the advice of poison control or your veterinarian)
- Grease-cutting dishwashing liquid (like Dawn, or Joy, or Palmolive) (to wash feet and fur)
- A can of soft cat food
- A soft towel
- A bottle of saline eye flush and artificial tears (to protect the eye after flushing)
- Rubber gloves
- Tweezers
- The number for your veterinarian, local emergency clinic, and Poison Control
- The ASPCA has one of the finest Animal Poison Control Centers in the country, available 24-7. Visit their website at more advice at ASPCA
- or call 888-426-4435. There is a $65 consultation fee for this service. You can also download a list of toxic household items for free list of poisons/hazards
The ASPCA has a cool interactive calendar this month on Facebook with a daily feature of what poisons might be lurking in your home.
A clean house is a happy house. But, more importantly, a safe kitty is a happy kitty. Let's be careful out there!
Editor's Note: If you are eco-conscious there are many natural products on the market that are safer for the environment but keep in mind natural can still be irritating for delicate paws. There are seven pads on each cat's front paws and five pads and each hind paw. My tip for cleaning non-wood floors is using a steam cleaner. It's a powerful clean which uses no cleaning product except water.

Here's the link to the case I got.
10-07-2011 08:04 PM - edited 10-10-2011 09:14 AM
Hey everyone, I got my Moko case I mentioned earlier in the the thread from Amazon.
I just wanted to give a little mini review since it's a brand new product on Amazon and for this tablet. First and foremost, I think this is a great case/folio for the money. It's about half the cost of the Lenovo Folio case and has a couple of great features that I think make it a better choice than Lenovos.
The reviews that I have seen about the Lenovo Folio have suggested that they are unsure about longevity and quality the "inner case" that is glued to the folio. This case has all of its seams sewn very tightly and has a good feeling of qaulity and sturdiness.
The review I saw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naFnPV3ALdc
also showed me that the folio case does not have a way of holding the case shut.
Going back to my new case, I thought I would show the differences between it and the Lenovo case.
1.) Rather than being held in by a hard plastic (inner case) this folio is held in along the spine of the case using velcro. This case was definitely meant to have the TPT kept in it long-term. Depending on your needs, it might not be an ideal solution as the Lenovo Folio was designed more for situations that one might want to take the TPT out easily and more frequently.
2.) Something not mentioned in the Amazon description is that this case has a magnetic strip that keeps the front cover secured. I think this is a great feature that keeps the front secured.
All in all I think this is a great case that offers a better value (for me) than the Lenovo case. Any other questions let me know!
EDIT: one more thing that I am not sure can been seen in the product description or photos, is that the SD Card/SIM Card door is covered by a strap with this case. Probably another dealbreaker for those needing frequent access to the SD Card/SIM. For me, it being a WiFi tab and having the largest SD Card I can get in, it doesn't effect me. I still think this is a great bargain of a case.
I haven't gone through the entire thread but I bought SFBag.
It was $60 but well worth it IMHO and fits perfectly.
10-19-2011 03:08 PM - edited 10-19-2011 03:27 PM
Ok, finally received the folio I ordered, despite the late arrival, the seller was fantastic. FedEx lost the original package, it's in Georgia somewhere, after conferring with the seller and agreeing to wait a while longer, with a refund of the shipping fee, the package was still a no show. I spoke with Jim on Saturday, and he said he would send it to me 2 day on Monday, and he did, at no further cost to me.
On to the folio. It is well put to other, the stitching is even and well done, the cut outs are all well placed; one for each camera, one for the pen, as well as the attachment point for the tether, the three plugs at the bottom are accessible, as well the headphone jack at the bottom, and the two ports on the left ( pen) side, and the volume buttons are open as well. My only complaint is that the SD is inaccessible. The back folds easily to stand the unit up, and the front cover closes with a magnet.
Design 9/10
Construction 10/10 (appears so, keep in mind it's just out of the box, no real world use yet)
Durability unk/10
Price 10/10 ($19.99USD) Customer Service 11/10
Is like the one I picked up. It is a Tucano satchel, but I don't know the exact exact model anymore. I think the tag said good for 11" items. Fits the TPT with the Folia case like a glove. It can also fit the charger and WD passport without much trouble, but is a lil tight for my comfort. I'm attempting to downsize the charger.

Hundreds of volunteers needed to get balloon festival off the ground
Posted March 14, 2016
Updated March 15, 2016
Fuquay-Varina, N.C. — When hot air balloons, live music and food and craft vendors crowd Fuquay-Varina's Fleming Loop Recreational Park on Memorial Day weekend, plenty of work will be required to make sure the second annual WRAL Freedom Balloonfest lifts off without a hitch.
Organizers launched a drive Monday to attract the hundreds of volunteers the event will need. Fidelity Bank, a festival sponsor, hosted a walk-in registration.
"It takes about 300 volunteers a day to help with a festival like this," said Mary Willis, Fidelity president and CEO. "We have rallied our employees in the bank for support, and we also want the community's support."
Sign up to volunteer for WRAL Freedom Balloon Fest, May 27-30
The small army of helpers will work from early morning to late evening to direct traffic, answer questions and keep the park clean for visitors.
The 2016 edition of the WRAL Freedom Balloonfest promises to be better – with easier traffic flow and parking shuttles and trams – and bigger. Organizers have added 19 hours of planned live music over the course of the three-day event and about 40 food vendors. There will also be rides and shopping.
Edna Morales, who owns a restaurant in downtown Fuquay-Varina, is expecting visitors to drift in from the park and learn what her little town is about.
"I'm very excited. The staff is excited. We plan to have a special menu just for that time," she said.
"It certainly puts Fuquay-Varina on the map with a major festival," said Mayor John Byrne. "It will be one of the best things that ever happened, as far as economic development is concerned, to our community."
Brian Hoyle, the lead festival organizer, said he expects 80,000 people will attend over the three days of the holiday weekend.
The move from eastern Wake County to Fuquay-Varina also puts the festival closer Fort Bragg, which is a bonus since it is designed to honor military families.
"The festival is really about remembering those who paid the ultimate price in service above self to our country," Hoyle said. "It's not just about the man or woman who wears the uniform but the family who supports them."

A DETERMINED young woman whose father died while she was studying was overwhelmed as she received top grades in her A-levels.
Alishah Assrafally, 19, opened her results at St Thomas More High School, Westcliff, to discover she had achieved an A* in psychology and As in finance, maths and chemistry.
Alishah's father was diagnosed with cancer while she was studying for her GCSEs at Cecil Jones College, where she said she received a lot of extra support, enabling her to leave with an A*, six As and three Bs.
Her father's condition continued to deteriorate, however, and he died while she was at Southend High School for Girls.
After the stress and upset of losing her father, she left Southend High with a C in maths, a D in biology and Es in chemistry and psychology, to start again at St Thomas More.
Picking up her results yesterday, a tearful Alishah said she had gained better qualifications than she had hoped for.
"A miracle has happened," she said. "This year I've gone up in everything but maths and did an extended project qualification in the harmful and medicinal effects of cannabis, which I got an A for.
"Everything's gone back to how it should be – I wanted to go into medicine before but, after this, I need to think about life and what I'm going to do."
Alishah said the school was very supportive and helped her achieve her goals.
"I put in the work," she said. "I went back to basic GCSE stuff and that helped a lot, as well as the help I got my lovely teachers.
"They did so much work to help me – they marked 30 essays for me, even though we were only given five to do for homework, and never complained."
St Thomas More headteacher Gemma Ackred added: "Alishah has done incredibly well and she should be so proud of what she's achieved – we certainly are."

Husky Basketball 2011: Top 5 Individual PerformancesApril 23, 2011
Husky Basketball 2011: Top 5 Individual Performances
The Washington Huskies 2010-11 run through the tournament ended too soon in a loss to North Carolina on a less than neutral court. Isaiah Thomas' recent decision to turn pro has created more unknowns for the upcoming season. Before looking to far ahead to next season, let's take a look at five individual performances that put a smile on Lorenzo Romar's face.
No. 5: Battle in the Desert
Not often were players able to match the performance of potential first round pick Derrick Williams. In the Huskies second game against Arizona, Matthew Bryan-Amaning did just that.
After a disappointing first half performance, Bryan-Amaning carried the Huskies using an array of low-post moves and nifty passing from Isaiah Thomas. In a game high 39 minutes of play, MBA stuffed the stat sheet. He finished with 24 points, eight rebounds, four assists and a game-high seven blocks. If not for questionable late game heroics by his counter-part Williams, Bryan-Amaning would have the Pac-10 Player of the Week.
No. 4: Wilcox Catches Fire
After suffering a loss at home to Washington State in the previous game, the Huskies were down one to UCLA at half. Looking lackluster and searching for answer, redshirt freshman C.J. Wilcox provided the necessary spark for the Huskies.
After being held scoreless in the first half, Wilcox took the first pass from Isaiah Thomas and drained a three-pointer. Wilcox scorched the nets from then on, finishing with 24 points including four of seven shooting on three-pointers. This shooting exhibition proved to be the start of a great finish to the year for C.J. Wilcox.
No. 3: Seattle Showdown
After an impressive game in the Bay (see next slide), Isaiah Thomas continued to have his way in the showdown between Washington and Arizona in Seattle. Many billed this to be the Pac-10 game of the season up until this point in the season, and the Huskies did their part.
Arizona on the other hand had no answer for Thomas. Leading the Dawgs to victory and first place, Thomas tied for a game-high 22 points and 10 assists. Arizona coach Sean Miller said after the game, "I have a hard time believing there are five better point guards in the country than Isaiah Thomas."
No. 2: Dishes and Treys in the Bay
After a head-scratching loss to Stanford, the Huskies headed up north to finish their tour of the bay against Cal. Isaiah Thomas singlehandedly ensured that the Huskies wouldn't go home empty handed.
Cal had no answer for Thomas in the lane. Trip after trip down the court, Thomas was allowed operate in the painted area and he took full advantage. To go along with a season-high 27 points, Thomas handed out 13 assists. This game was one of many that would solidify Thomas's spot as the top point guard in the Pac-10.
No. 1: Coldblooded
Not only was Isaiah Thomas's performance in the Pac-10 Tournament final the greatest this season, it will go down as one of the greatest in Husky Basketball history.
After a late-season swoon, Thomas led regained his shooting touch and swagger when the Huskies needed it most. Playing 123 of 125 minutes in the tournament partly due to a lack of options at point guard, Thomas made the last minute the most memorable. With the score tied at 75, Thomas used a wicked crossover to free up space and put up the game winning shot that found its way through the net with no time remaining. To go along with his coldblooded moment, Thomas finished with 28 points, five rebounds and seven assists.

TORRES, Marco A. A.; SATO, Kasue; JULIANO, Yara and QUEIROZ, Suzana S.. Treatment with prophylactic doses of ferrous sulphate in the fight against iron deficiency in children attended in basis health units. Rev. Saúde Pública [online]. 1994, vol.28, n.6, pp.410-415. ISSN 1518-8787. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0034-89101994000600004.
The efficacy of medical prophylaxis in the fight against iron deficiency anemia in 620 children aged from four to thirty-six months, attended in two health units of the municipality of S. Paulo, Brazil, was tested. First, the children's blood was tested for hemoglobin level and eletrophoresis. Then they received daily doses of iron sulphate in the form of drops, corresponding to 12 mg/ day of elementary iron, over a 30-day period. Afterwaeds, they were asked to return for re-evaluation. Twenty-five percent of children under 6 months presented hemoglobin levels under 11.0 g/dl. The highest occurrences of anemia were detected among children aged 9 to 11 months (49.5%) and in the age bracket between 12 and 23 months (50.4%). After the established period, only 37.4% of the children with anemia and 52.4% of children who did not present anaemia returned for further evaluation. Of the 299 evaluated, ony 157 (52.5%) had taken the medication correctly. Frequency of hemoglobin inferior to 9.5 g/dl dropped from 17.1% at the beginning to 8.1% at the end of the intervention. On the other hand, the percentage of children with hemoglobin above 12.0 g/ dl increased from 13.4% to 33.4%. Those chidren who took their iron supplements correctly registered a siginificantly higher drop in the number of cases of anemia than that observed in those who had not taken the supplement correctly. The great majority (80.3%) did not present any side effects of medication. It was concluded that medical prophylaxis, instead of proving to be efficient in the recovery of hemoglobin levels, presents serious hazards from the operation point of view including a low level of participation in the project on the part of mothers, resulting from the daily obligation to administer a medication to their chidren over a long period of time which can consequence generate saturation and forgetfulness.

I never used to like cats. At all. They just seemed kind of mean and snotty. Haha! But when I first moved to CO I lived with my aunt for a couple months and their cat Amber was freakishly dog-like. She was so sweet and affectionate and became obsessed with me right away. When I went up to my room to go to bed I would practically have to run because she knew thats where I was headed and realllly didn't want to get locked out. There were many nights where I'd find myself racing her up the stairs to try to close the door before she got there. lol Sounds mean but she was such a bed hog! And almost every morning I'd wake up nose-to-nose with her staring at me, purring. Borderline creepy but mostly adorable.ReplyDelete
So now I'm quite fond of cats. At least most cats. : ) Do you read The Dainty Squid? She seriously captures the most hilarious pictures of her kittys.
@amanda. Aww - I love that Marrah sleeps with me. Even though I totally understand - sometimes I wake up in very uncomfortable positions since I'm trying not to squish her. :)ReplyDelete
When I think about my happy place, it's lying in bed with my cat Chulmu curled under my chin with his paws resting on my arm. Winter nights are always better with a cuddly cat!ReplyDelete
She's beautiful.ReplyDelete
I have two, love them to bits and pieces. I absolutely wish I could show you a photo of my Alf, he's so similar looking to your cat. Though he tends to have a grumpier expression in general.
He can be a bit of a pain though, he regularly brings in leaves as "presents" and can open doors by jumping up at the handle, we haven't had a lie in in the last year or so. He's also exceptionally naughty, yesterday he broken a lantern I had by pushing it on the floor, all because he wanted to lie down. Wouldn't change him for the world though, he's so clever and needs to know how everything works, he sleeps in bed with us as well. He also likes to take leaps from high surfaces onto your shoulders - never a dull moment!
My little one is all black, and so pretty. She's much more timid though, but once she decides she likes you then you'll never have any peace. She has a purr like a little train, and licks your hands for attention.
I don't think I could ever be without cats, I have had them all my life!
@rebeccaisanddoes, I love how much of a pain your cat is but you still love him so much! It's like having a sibling that annoys you but is your best friend.ReplyDelete
aww ya she really is beautiful! I thought that one shot had part blurry on purpose, all such great shots of her! and I agree, I stop studying some weekends to swoon over Lila licking her paw & rubbing her face... too sweet. I've always loved cats since I've had them all my life but my hubs used to hate them... so funny when you how he acts now.ReplyDelete

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- General Electric ( GE) reported a first-quarter profit increase of 16%, coming in line with analysts' expectations. The company's results were driven by strong sales of oil and gas drilling equipment, as well as the $18.1 billion sale of its stake in NBCUniversal in February. That sale boosted profit by 4 cents a share, according to GE. Since then, the company has annouced a $3.3 billion acquisition of Lufkin Industries ( LUFK) and accelerated share buybacks. GE reported earnings of $3.53 billion, or 34 cents per share, compared with $3.03 billion, or 29 cents a share, in the same quarter a year ago. Excluding items, the company said it earned 35 cents per share, meeting estimates. Revenue beat expectations. The company reported revenue of $35 billion, compared to estimates of $34.51 billion. The company also reported that its order backlog rose to $216 billion from $210 billion in the prior quarter.
Blackstone Group ( BX) is pulling out of its pursuit of Dell ( DELL). In a letter to Dell's board, Blackstone attributed its withdrawal to Dell's slumping PC sales. Blackstone noted the 14% drop in PC shipments in the first quarter, its largest drop in the company's history, as well as Dell's weakening finances and the lower operating income forecast Dell has issued since Blackstone made its bid for the company. Dell revised its operating income projections for the current year to $3 billion from $3.7 billion. The move comes less than a month after Blackstone announced a plan to top a buyout offer from CEO Michael Dell and a group of investors led by Silver Lake Partners for $24.4 billion, or $13.65 a share. Blackstone is pulling out of its plans without formally submitting a superior offer to the bid by Michael Dell and Silver Lake.
GlaxoSmithKline ( GSK) is being accused of paying off its rivals to delay launches of their versions of Glaxo's antidepressant drug Seroxat. Britain's Office of Fair Trading alleges that Glaxo infringed upon competition laws through deals with several competitors over a cheaper version of Seroxat. The competition watchdog alleges that Glaxo made agreements with three generic drugmakers, Alpharma, Generics and Norton Healthcare, that paid the companies to delay launching the drug. The OFT says the moves is an abuse of Glaxo's dominant market position.

Thanks to those of you who have taken the time to stop by and briefly or not so briefly peruse the new blog.
In the coming weeks, I will start to provide more discussion of the Mets and philosophy and movies (particularly Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) as promised. I hope to continue to rotate topics and more and more to find insights worth your time before posting. Each general topic will be in the title so that you have an idea whether the subject matter interests you when you scan the article titles. Please also remember to read the comments from fellow readers as I hope to be able to stimulate discussion as much as anything.
So with all those ambitious goals stated—-the bad news: for the next week and a half I may be blogging more slowly as I will be without a computer. Yesterday morning I learned that I need to send my motherboard back to the Dell mothership and so I may be without a computer for a mother of a long time.
So, if the posts come slower, do not lose heart, and do not give up on me as I will have not given up on you, reader of burgeoning loyalty. I recommend "subscribing" to the blog at the top so you are alerted when new topics are posted.

think it would look better if you add randomize function for the timer so that it would look like a horse race..^^<
i added this code in your work..
Function Random(Lowerbound As Long, Upperbound As Long)
Random = Int(Rnd * Upperbound) + Lowerbound
End Function
Private Sub Form_Load()
MsgBox "Developed By Ced", vbInformation, "Progress Bar"

I love this hair oil. I have thick, curly, fine hair that is quite dry, so I do need to use conditioner as well as the oil. However, I don't need use any other products on my hair. I don't have to worry about silicone buildup anymore, and unlike coconut oil this combo doesn't break me out. It has a comforting, herbal scent that I like (and I am sensitive to most odors).

This was $25 but so worth it. I love hair oils and am always out to try a new one. This had a good blend of oils my hair loves and is a spray. I spray some on my palms and apply to my wet hair. It doesn't feel greasy and it had a herbal smell. I think it does a great job of smoothing down my strands and controlling frizz which is a constant struggle for me. It adds shine and my hair looks and feels soft and healthy. I wish I could have tried this sooner. Kiehls is great for giving out samples, so I would recommend going that route if interested.

Holy smokes!! This is the best treatment product I have ever used on my hair. I have fine, thin hair, but a lot of it. It is collarbone length and color treated. I live in an area that is humid almost all year round. If it rains, my hair droops. If it is hot, my hair droops and frizzes. I can curl or blow dry my hair and it looks great...then I go outside and my hair looks like crap almost instantly. The only time my hair looks great is when I get it cut and my stylist makes it look magazine perfect and it looks like that all day. No matter what I do, I cannot replicate that look. Enter Kiehl's Deeply Restorative Smoothing Hair Oil Concentrate. My hair looks salon perfect no matter what I do or what Mother Nature has decided the weather is going to be like on any given day. My hair is smooth, silky and incredibly soft to the touch. I cannot tell you the amount of money I have spent searching and trying and sampling all kinds of hair products to make my hair look nice. This one product makes my hair look amazing. I don't even have to use hair spray to hold a curl in my hair. This product is a bit pricy, but with these results, it is worth every penny!

My HG hair product. Seriously, this is the best thing I have ever bought for my hair, ever. Sorry this review isn't descriptive as others. Just got nothing more to say other than when I have a good hair day, it's because I used this.

Being an experienced hair oil user, i can say this is a successful blend of oils.
I love using oils instead of silicone serums because they're more beneficial for both hair and scalp. Silicones glue themselves on the strand, building up and kind of suffocating the hair. They're very difficult to remove and require SLS or ALS shampoos. Oils on the other hand, provide a more flexible barrier from humidity (therefore don't work as well as cones in fighting the frizz) and some can also enter the hair shaft and plumping the strand from inside.
There are dry oils and wet oils. If the product feels non-existent on your skin, it's called a dry oil. No-cone hair oils that have a dry feeling usually have caprylic triglyceride (a derivative of coconut oil) in their ingredients, like this one from Kiehl's. Although it has caprylic triglyceride in it, it doesn't feel completely dry due to the abundance of other wet oils. Oils too dry can make hair and skin feel dry and greasy at the same time. Wet oils can make hair limp and weigh it down. This product is the best of both worlds IMO, neither dry nor wet.
Another problem regarding hair oils is the smell. After a few days of application, hair starts to smell a little off, like rancid. Other commercial blends with perfume usually don't last longer than 10 minutes (like The body shop's beautifying oils). This one, however, has a nice scent that surprisingly have a top note and base note like a perfume. Top note is very slight, i thought my hair would smell like nothing in a matter of minutes.
I bunned my hair and went to bed, when i took down my bun in the morning, lo and behold, my hair was emitting a completely different scent. Almost like i perfumed my hair after wash. I'm not saying it's the best scent i've ever sniffed in my life, but it was perfume nonetheless. I really missed my hair smelling like some perfume so i liked it very much.
So, how did i apply it to my hair? After i towel dried hair, i sprayed two times on my tangle teezer comb and started detangling my ends (i have hip-length hair). After i was done with ends, i sprayed one more time and went on with the length and finally from scalp down. Then i dried my hair with a blow dryer, on lowest setting. Once my hair was %100 dry, i sprayed twice on my hand and run my fingers through my hair, starting with the ends. In total i used 5 sprays, but i could use more because my hair's super coarse and drinks up oils pretty fast.
In the morning my hair did not look piecey and oily, but it looked nice and neat despite the fact that i did not apply any other conditioner.
EDIT later that day: Scent died down. Hair's so soft and manageable, no oily residue is left on the strands. Applied two more sprays to my hair with tangle teezer. So far so good!
EDIT 2: I'm using this daily now, it's been 2 days. Although it's not a "miracle" like other reviews say, it's a very good hair oil. If you cannot afford this, good old coconut oil will do the same job. If you do have extra $$$ to spend on your hair, this is a better option though, because it's lighter in texture and makes hair smell so much nicer than regular vegetable oils, with longer lasting effects than other dry oils out there.

Lovely - smooths dry frizzy hair, gives great shine. Do not use conditioner though!! Even my course, dry, thick, curly hair couldn't take conditioner and this - use one, trust me. A few sprays is plenty, I then brush it through. Price is worth it - lasts forever. Lovely fine mist, ensuring it reaches every strand. Fab product.

Here's one hair product that I will certainly repurchase! I was standing at the Kiehls counter waiting to buy the musk oil and saw this product's tester. So, bored, I decided to pick it up and examine, and maybe give it a try. I read on the label that it has NO silicones, which intrigued me and all good natural oils. Having extremely dry, damaged from coloring, old frizzy hair, I figured a few spritzes of this while at the store wouldn't make my mop look worse, so I used about 4 sprays and ran through my mid-back-length hair at Nordstrom. I was astounded. Not only did it smooth the frizz, it made my long-dull hair shiny and smooth! And NO SILICONES! It was $25 dollars so I grabbed it, and have been using it religiously since. It has NEVER caused my hair to frizz up (like silicone products always do), it does not build up, and it really conditions and smoothes my hair like silk! I have read that using silicones on hair to smooth it eventually does the opposite of what one wants, i.e. once the silicones dry on the hair shaft, they shrink, causing MORE frizz. Well, this Kiehls oil is totally different, it really soothes the hair shaft, and smoothes it out like nobody's business. I will buy this again and again until the end of time! Thank you, Kiehls!

I bought a bottle of this oil because I had a voucher and my beloved herbal shampoo was out. Looking back, I'm glad I did. This oil comes in a sturdy, orange bottle (yes, it's the bottle that's orange not the oil itself) with the trademark white label. Now, the first thing about my hair routine I had to let go, was using a conditioner after shampooing. The instructions on the oil bottle say to shampoo first and THEN apply the oil on damp hair. Hence, I left the conditioner aside and I think this is the only way to make it work without getting greasy hair. My hair is about shoulder blade length and rather thick so I apply the recommended 6 sprays before combing it through with my tangle teezer. The oil really does feel light weight and almost dry. It's difficult to describe. Only when my hair dries and I touch it, I can feel that I actually applied oil. It doesn't feel greasy, just well nourished, lush and very, very soft. Once completely dry, my hair looks incredibly shiny and has wonderful definition & volume. No frizz, no fly-aways. I also love to touch it because it feels really great but that could just be my fetish speaking. What I also noticed is less hair loss. I used to wash out quite an amount of hair each time and that's not the case anymore although I can't say why. It's not like I apply the oil on my scalp. The scent is exactly the same as Kiehl's Argan Oil Conditioner: very organic but not unpleasant and it lasts about a day or two. Now for a warning or two: I think it's absolutely possible to overdo & end up with really greasy hair. But that can happen with any hair oil and even though this is the lightest hair oil I ever had, it's STILL oil. So be careful and keep to the instructions. I also think that this is too heavy a treatment for those with fine hair.
One bottle comes at the hefty price of 30 € in Europe (which is quite the scandal, considering the 25 $ price tag in the U.S.) and contains 4.0 fl oz / 118ml. I haven't even used up a noticable amount yet so a little goes a really long way which is why I can justify spending that much money on hair oil. The ingredients are also rather luxurious, I might add: Argan oil, Safflower Oil, Sesame Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil & Jojoba Oil. And it comes without silicones & parabens, yay! A rather accidental, unplanned purchase that turned out to be a blessing! I'm so very glad I got it and I will most definitely repurchase. Highly recommended!
Update 2013-05-24: This has become my holy grail regarding hair care. I'm not even halfway through my bottle, although I use it after washing my hair *every* time and, having said that, my hair has never been so beautiful! It's in perfect condition, healthy, shiny, smooth, sleek, flawless. I hope Kiehl's keeps this forever. I gave away all conditioners I still had stashed, btw. I'm only using shampoo & this oil. There's nothing better.

I was very skeptical about using this without using a conditioner first. My hair is very course and unruly and so I use conditioner pretty much religiously. I did use the 6 sprays on freshly shampoo'd hair and I was shocked at how it tamed my hair. It was easier to blow it straight and it looked really healthy and smooth when I finished. I bought this product on a whim and am very very glad I did!

My hair has NEVER looked anything like this, sooo shiny like pantine provine commercial shinny. MY HOLY GRAIL OF HAIR PRODUCTS. I know it's ridiculous but this product is my religion and I will preach it.
UPDATE - The product rubbed onto my skin and made me break out! Now weekly I use apricot kernel oil in my hair overnight with the same effect and no acne :)

Album Rating: 4.5Man those deep Serj growls are sorely missed on their later albums, seriously
Digging: Soundtrack (Television) - BoJack Horseman
Yeah. There's not a System album I don't like (at least to some extent), but there's nothing that comes close to this, really. And Serj is in his absolute prime here. Even though, it seems like at times he doesn't have complete control of his voice, it's just so raw and fucking passionate.
Album Rating: 4.5Agreed, I like all their albums too, but Hypnotize has some absolute shit on it with the gems
I like Steal this Album! as much as this though, to be honest
Steal this Album! is my second favorite. I guess it does come pretty close to this, actually. And Hypnotize has some bullshit on it, but it also has some stuff that is better than most of Mezmerize.
Album Rating: 4.5Steal this Album! is probably their most consistent effort if you ask me
The title track of Hypnotize, Holy Mountains, Soldier Side are some of their best
Otherwise, any song of Mezmerise >>>>
(except Old School Hollywood, holy hell that's bad)
Hahaha. I like Old School Hollywood. It's so damn heavy for no reason. I always feel like I'm losing my mind when I'm listening to it. I know that it's shit, but I still like it.
Album Rating: 4.5Fair enough I just hate that melody, those robot vocals, everything... ugh
Let's talk about Question! what a tune that is.
Question! is one of those song styles I really wish SOAD would have done more with.
Album Rating: 4.5Among the best choruses I've ever heard, probably
Man Mezmerise/Hypnotize could've easily lived up to the previous three albums if they'd just made it one album with a tracklist like this:
Soldier Side (Intro)
Holy Mountains
Vicinity of Obscenity
She's Like Heroin
Violent Pornography
Lonely Day
Soldier Side
Lost in Hollywood
Not necessarily in that order but you know
Album Rating: 4.5If these guys could commit to a tour, maybe then we could start thinking about a new album. Those
festivals they did back in 2012 don't really hint at any staying power to me. Supposedly they are
back from the hiatus, but they only played one show in the states for 2013, so what the fuck? It's
all up to Serj. He has the final say on the band's future.
Album Rating: 4.5I've heard Serj's solo albums and Scars on Broadway were pretty meh (haven't checked for myself though) so who knows what a new album would be like anyway?
Fuck Scars on Broadway. That band is shit. Serj's solo stuff is hit or miss.
Album Rating: 4.5Pretty much what I thought
anyway DOOOO WEEEE DOOO WEEE KNOOOOOW
I think Soil is my favorite System song.
idk I kinda got sick of this band once I turned 16
they were cool when I saw them live because I knew the songs and whatever but honestly I would be ok if they never released any new material
Album Rating: 4.5Aw look at Lloyd all grown up
Agreed that I would be ok with them not releasing anything new because honestly I would expect it to be bad
But I dunno if I can ever get sick of WE WILL FIGHT THE HEATHENS WE WILL FIGHT THE HEATHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENS
you have to admit they're a pretty juvenile band
Album Rating: 4.5Yeah I'm not denying that but that's why I love them
Songs like BYOB and Chop Suey! will always make me feel 12 and I love that
Also they have a great ability to go from juvenile songs to serious, emotional songs within the space of one album (Vicinity of Obscenity/She's Like Heroin compared to Lonely Day/Soldier Side is a good example) and I love that too

Khewra Salt Mines In Pakistan
The world's second largest mine, said that salt was discovered by Alexander's horse
326 BC Alexander the Great, Africa and Europe to make its way across the lyymshur Greek king Pakistan occupies an empire from Asia. Now stop for a rest in a military area known as khewra, Alexander's horse was licking stones on the ground. Seeing that all the horses and take a note of, kyaur was a cop that rocks found yourself a very salty. Khewra was discovered salt deposits.
After some 2,330 years, khyurh salt mines are the second largest in the world – kynydasaftu, inc. Behind my gudrac, salt Ontario – 325,000 tons of salt annually and zndgypr is out of an estimated 220 million tons. It's barely even a dental 6,687 billion tonnes of whether the massive salt store. Officially, the 'tribe did not record the salt mining Janjua Raja 1200s, but is probably adding salt and since then yhanskndr Minister.
110 square km, 11 separate stories), large-scale mine more than 40 km of tunnels some 730 meters, which is almost half a mile mountain is on the act of worship salt deposits in the area of 228 meters or 748 feet deep ( covering. I found a great place to just fifty percent salt is falling, he added. And serves as the second half lyyhmayt column holding the ear. Such a large area, has a large workforce and ease of building with trasaur salt bricks, some interesting look inside the salt mine construction kyja.

Mr. BARR. I appreciate the opportunity to participate in this Special Order this evening. This is a very important topic, and I applaud Mr. Collins and Mr. Yoho for forming the Freshman Working Group on Regulatory Reform. Regulatory reform is desperately needed in this country to get our economy back on track.
We have seen persistent high unemployment in our country for the last 5 years. We got another bad jobs report just last week: 7.6 percent is the unemployment rate. But even more alarming than our persistent high unemployment rate is the fact that we have underemployment in this country. Only 58 percent of the American people who are eligible for employment who are of working-age population are actually employed. Only 58 percent.
Yes, we have a high unemployment rate. Yes, it has been persistently over 7.5 percent for the last 5 years. But even more troubling is the fact that only 58 percent of working-age people in this country are employed. That is 5 percent below the average employment rate for working-age people prior to the recession, and that number has been static for the last 5 years. So the question we have to ask ourselves is why is this happening; why are the American people not getting back to work.
Well, one of the primary impediments to economic recovery, to job growth, and job creation is the avalanche of new rules, regulations, and red tape coming out of Washington, all of which impose huge costs on businesses and create a destructive environment of uncertainty in the private sector. And it affects virtually every sector of our economy. It affects the health care sector with ObamaCare and the reams of regulations coming out of HHS. It affects the financial services industry with Dodd-Frank and all of the rulemakings. You know, Dodd-Frank authorizes over 400 new rules and regulations. A little more than half of those have been issued. According to certain estimates, compliance with those regulations equals about 24 million hours annually in man-hours to comply with the Dodd-Frank rules and regulations. To put that in perspective, 20 million man-hours was what was required to build the Panama Canal. This is literally an avalanche of rules and regulations crushing our financial institutions and impeding access to credit for entrepreneurs and small businesses. It's affecting the energy sector where environmental regulations are destroying jobs.
In my home State, the coal industry has been devastated by the EPA's assault on the coal industry through over-regulation of the energy sector. In most countries that conduct mining activities, about 2 years is the average length of time for a regulator to review an application for mining. In the United States today, it takes 7 years for EPA regulators just to review and approve a surface mining permit.
So this backlog and this overregulation of mining activities is resulting in massive layoffs. Mining in central Appalachia is at its lowest production level since 1965. We've lost 4,000 coal mining jobs in just the last couple of years in eastern Kentucky as a result of the EPA's overzealous overregulation of the coal industry.
Yes, it's driving utility rates higher. Yes, it is certainly bad in terms of low-cost electricity for our manufacturers and small businesses and our seniors on fixed income, but it's also costing jobs. And it's having a negative impact on all of those people whose paychecks take care of their families.
We talked about the impact on health care. I had an administrator of a local small hospital in central Kentucky tell me that it used to be that they took care of patients. Today they take care of paper.
A small banker, community banker in eastern Kentucky told me that it used to be, in the community banking business, that they would provide loans and make a business decision based on the creditworthiness of the borrower, whether it was a farmer or a small business owner or an entrepreneur. Today, this banker says that the government makes that decision for them because of the avalanche of new rules and regulations.
There's another important dimension to this in addition to impeding economic recovery, and that's our Constitution. For the last 80 years, the growth of the administrative state has been a huge detractor from the original meaning of our Constitution. It has been offensive to the separation of powers doctrine. And one need only look to article I, section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, which simply reads:
All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
Mr. Speaker, the word ``all'' should be recognized as granting the Congress exclusive legislative power. And yet, for the last 80 years, as the administrative state has grown in Washington, the Congress has delegated its lawmaking powers to unaccountable, unelected bureaucrats in the executive branch. And so what we need to do in Congress is we need to rehabilitate what's known as the nondelegation doctrine, the idea that Congress shouldn't delegate away its lawmaking powers to another branch of the government.
In the last several years, we've seen a dramatic growth in the regulatory burden on the private economy. The pages in the Code of Federal Regulations hit an all-time high of 174,000 pages in 2012. That's an increase of more than 21 percent during the last decade.
In 2012, the cost of Federal rules exceeded $1.8 trillion, roughly equal to the gross domestic product of Canada, which is about $1.81 trillion, and India, $1.82 trillion.
The regulatory burden cost each U.S. household approximately $14,768, meaning that red tape is now the second largest item in the typical family budget after housing.
And in 2012, 4,062 Federal regulations were at various stages of implementation. The government completed work on 1,172, an increase of 16 percent over the 1,010 that the Feds imposed in 2011, which was a 40 percent increase over the 722 in 2010.
And another measure of the regulatory burden, the pages in the Federal Register. By that measure, the Obama administration did not break the all-time record of 81,405 pages it set in 2010. But the 78,961 pages it churned out in 2012 mean that the President has posted three of the four greatest paperwork years on record.
Mr. Speaker, this avalanche of red tape is strangling American economic recovery. It is an offense to the Constitution of the United States, and it lacks all common sense. For the sake of the U.S. Constitution, for the sake of economic recovery, for the sake of common sense, and for the sake of the American people who are suffering in one of the worst economic downturns since the Great Depression, we need to rein in burdensome regulations.

I'm trying to work out how to copy my local website to another computer without upgrading to the Premium service.
You have articles like Creating a Website Archive Manually or How to Move a Local Website which would seem to me (as a completely unexperienced novice) to be ways to do this but the instructions fall short in how to put the local website on another computer.
The only reason I am looking to copy/move my local website to another computer is that serverpress is no longer working on my computer and I have an unresolved support question on that issue here. And solving this problem would really be my preferred option.
I would really like some support from ServerPress, even though I am only using a basic service and not a paying premium customer.

Keeping an eye on fruit flies, Penn scientists shed light on sleep
A lot of the work scientists have done to study sleep has focused on the daily, or circadian, rhythms that synchronize our bodies with the sun to keep us on schedule. Equally important, but far less well known, is how brains initiate sleep. New work published by neuroscientists at the University of Pennsylvania in the journal eLife is shedding light on the need for sleep.
Fruit flies, surprisingly enough, sleep a lot like humans. There's an afternoon nap, then a nice, long eight-hour stretch at night -- but not for a recently discovered mutant in Amita Sehgal's lab.
Flies with a mutant form of the "redeye" gene get about half as much sleep as normal flies, said Sehgal, a professor of neuroscience and Howard Hughes Medical Institute researcher.
"Typically what happens is that they fall asleep but then keep waking up," said Sehgal. "But because they still have the need to sleep, they keep going back to sleep, so the number of episodes actually increases."
That tortured experience may sound familiar to insomniacs. When Sehgal mapped which gene was affected, she was surprised. The gene makes part of a receptor in the brain that responds to nicotine — a protein that typically works to keep animals awake.
"So we're excited, for one thing, because this looks like a unique acetylcholine receptor that actually promotes sleep," she said.
Flies with more redeye aren't able to sleep more, meaning redeye isn't directly controlling the need for sleep. But this is the closest Sehgal has been to identifying those molecules. She found that as flies get sleepier, the amount of redeye protein naturally increases.
Since redeye is conserved in humans, Sehgal said it's likely that similar mechanisms are at play in people, but that will have to be tested.

Call us nerdy, but we've been having a major PBS lovefest lately: First Downton, and now an awesome girl power documentary. "Makers: Women Who Make America," premiering tonight at 8 p.m. ET, tells the story of the U.S. women's rights movement through interviews with everyone from Hillary Clinton to Judy Blume to Gloria Steinem to Oprah. Plus, this tribute to kickass women is narrated by none other than Meryl freakin' Streep.
"Makers" is more than just a refresher on your freshman year Women's Studies seminar–it shares the inspiring experiences of the incredibly strong women who continue to fight for equality. This doc is packed with more Girl Power than a Spice Girls concert.
Tune in to give props to the fierce women who led the feminist movement, then get fired up to tear down the barriers women continue to face today. Call your besties, pop open a bottle of vino, whip up some snacks, and you've got the perfect ladies' night in. Watch the teaser below now!

Hybrid fiber optic cable carries data and power
"Invented by Sandia's Titus Appel and Steve Sanderson, PoF is currently limited to a fairly low capacity, so don't expect it to be delivering power to your house any time soon. It could, however, supply power to small electrical devices such as sensors, for which it would also be providing data transfer. In the cable's present incarnation, optical power goes through a single glass fiber. A laser diode at one end of that fiber emits light, while a miniaturized photovoltaic cell at the other end converts it into electricity. Power is only delivered on demand, in order to save energy."

text: What do you think is the best way to cover AJ Green. Have JJo on him with help over the top, which means Jackson/Allen will not get much help. Have Jackson/Allen on Green with help over the top and JJo on their number 2. Or play sides of the field and just move the safety back and forth to help each corner on him I know this sounds bad, but I think we need to let Jackson/Allen cover Green (I refuse to call him AJ, as this is 80s name) and have JJo cover their number 2 one on one....This hopefully shuts down their number 2 making them force it to Green. If JJo is on him then its most likely their number 2 will be open as Jackson and Allen are not that good
