WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama declared Thursday "the buck stops with me" for the nation's security, taking responsibility for failures that led to the near-disastrous Christmas attack on a Detroit-bound airliner and vowing the problems would be corrected.
He said the lapses were widespread but suggested no officials would be fired.
Obama didn't tell intelligence officials to dramatically change what they're doing. Instead, he told them to do it better and faster.
Clearly aware of the potential political fallout, Obama struck a tough tone toward the antiterror fight, taking the rare step — for him — of calling it a "war."
In one concrete change, the administration is adding more air marshals to flights. Hundreds of law enforcement officers from Homeland Security Department agencies are being trained and deployed to the federal Air Marshal Service, said a government official familiar with the strategy.
In the president's bleak assessment and a White House report about what went wrong, the country got an alarming picture of a post-Sept. 11 debacle: an intelligence community that failed to understand what it had.
U.S. intelligence officials had enough information to identify the suspect as an al-Qaida terrorist operative and keep him off a plane but still could not identify and disrupt the plot, and security measures didn't catch him.
Obama announced about a dozen changes designed to fix that, including new terror watch list guidelines, wider and quicker distribution of intelligence reports, stronger analysis of those reports, international partnerships and an interagency effort to develop next-generation airport screening technologies.
A report Obama had ordered from top officials on the security failures was released immediately after he spoke, as was Obama's three-page directive.
The unclassified summary stated that U.S. intelligence officials had received unspecified "discrete pieces of intelligence" to identify Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 23-year-old Nigerian, as an al-Qaida operative and keep him off the flight from Amsterdam. Officials received fragments of information as early as October.
Earlier Thursday, the administration said Abdulmutallab was flagged for extra screening after he was already on the plane and headed for Detroit. The Department of Homeland Security said his potential ties to extremists came up in a routine check of passengers en route to the United States — and not because of any suddenly gathered intelligence during the flight.
Although intelligence officials knew an al-Qaida operative in Yemen posed a threat to U.S. security, they did not increase their focus on that threat and did not pull together fragments of data needed to foil the scheme.
Still, the report concludes, "The watch listing system is not broken" and a reorganization of the counterterrorism system is not necessary. The report, instead, calls for strengthening the process used to add suspected terrorists to watch lists.

I'm 27.My first lower molar is a baby tooth, no permanent tooth. Orthodontist says i can remove the baby tooth and push the other two molars forward with braces for 1 1/2 years, allowing the wisdom tooth to come out(there's no space now for it to come out now)or remove the wisdom and baby tooth and put an implant.He says there's 'not much root' left under the baby tooth so he doesn't give it too long but I've heard of people keeping their baby teeth for long....what do I do?
Missing Permanent Tooth-braces or Implants, or Both?
Doctor Answers 5
Baby Tooth loss with no adult tooth.
Welcome to the BTRC (Baby tooth retention club.. or Biter Club for short). I have patients in my practice at all ages who still have their lower baby molars with no permanent tooth below. It's amazing at how these teeth can hang in there for many years with very little root support but they do hang in there. On occasion someones body will just decide its time to kick that tooth out and I have seen some of these teeth break down or come out very quickly but in most cases they seem to stay where they are and function quite well.
If the tooth does decide to come out then an implant is a great option. The bone is generally in good shape under these teeth so keeping the tooth in there as long as possible is not a bad thing... In my experience.
no one can predict what will happen with your baby tooth, or how long you will be a proud member of the BTR Club but if you do lose that tooth you have some great options in the form of implants.
Missing Permanent Tooth
Keep it simple. If the baby tooth is functional, not loose, and not heavily restored, keep it for now. If it ever needs to go, then have an implant.
Teeth should stay where they are supposed to be
Removing a baby molar and moving permanent molars into that spot (which normally would be a premolar) is not a good idea. The mouth ideally has teeth in their normal positions, otherwise other pathology can arise. Narrowing of arches can lead to an imbalanced bite, constricted airway and sleep apnea, TMJ issues among others.
If your teeth are crooked, ortho is a fine option. Leave the baby tooth in place and when needed remove and place an implant. Retained baby teeth come out on average around age 35, but I have some people in their 50's with baby teeth.
I would leave it for now.

Wait for now
Without knowing all specifics, the ortho option seems to be a bit of a long shot. I would lean toward the wait until an implant is needed option. First, make sure you have your general dentist evaluate the baby tooth and look at taking possible impressions of your mouth so they can plan ahead for the implant.
Ortho or implant?
At age 27 to expect a wisdom tooth to come correctly and then move it forward to close space is a long shot in my opinion I suggest without review of records to remove the wisdome tooth and baby tooth and place the implant good luck

Ok so I'm 17, male, had a rhinoplasty done around 7 months ago the profiles from left and right look good but my front view looks very weird, my nose dosent look like it has definition from the front. When I take a front photo my nose looks huge and one side of my nose is more swollen then the other, I'm starting to get worried I'm seeing changes.. But i feel it's looking strange at this point help please!
My Nose Looks Strange Front View 7 Months Rhinoplasty?
Doctor Answers 4
Nose unusual after 7 months
Without pre and post-op photos it is difficult to assess your nose. But I will say that at 7 months it is quite common to still have swelling. Best to discuss with your surgeon if you have concerns.
7 mths post op
I have been fortunate enough to have a very busy practice for 25 years specializing in facial plastic surgery. I do not perform revision work on other surgeons noses until they are at least one year post op. Having said that there are, at times, things that I do before that period of time to help my patients heal as well as possible; things such as steroid injections and taping the supratip to help resolve supratip edema. Should you not feel comfortable with your surgeon seek the opinion of a rhinoplasty specialist with over 15 to 20 years experience. Perhaps these treatments will help or perhaps you simply need more time. Whatever you do, do not let someone perform any revision work until you get to at least one year. Good luck!
"Strange" Nose 7 Months after Rhinoplasty
It is impossible to know what your nose looks like 7 months after rhinoplasty without pictures. Having said that, your nose will continue to change as healing progresses over the next 6 months. I need to see pictures to give you a more detailed response.

Needs more time
Hello. At seven months you are far from your final result. It is common for patients to be worried about the outcome of rhinoplasty surgery early on but many of these concerns can be attributed to swelling. Over the next year you will see many improvements in the appearance of your nose.

|Strength of Schedule Report
November 2, 2012
Prospect Push
Notes from the Arizona Fall League
The Arizona Fall League has developed into an off-season combine for clubs to evaluate some of the top talents in the minor leagues, including their own. This year's schedule is just beyond the mid-point of the schedule with the circuit's all-star event—the Rising Stars Game—slated for Saturday.
The class of participants in the 21st year of the AFL is deep in talent, and scouts are raving about the results of the eye test, despite what the statistics may suggest. Here are a handful of the most talked about performers in the desert this fall.
Slade Heathcotte, OF -- New York Yankees | .295/.415/.455, 12 BB, 9 SO
"This is a kid that has overcome a lot, on and off the field," opined one general manager. "That goes a long way when projecting a young player. He can run down fly balls (in center field) and is a really, really good athlete, maybe the best one here."
Rymer Liriano, OF -- San Diego Padres | .300/.364/.460, 3 BB, 11 SO
"He's strong and understands there are a lot of hits the other way," said an American League special assistant. Another scout called Liriano the "one guy I've seen here that could explode into elite status next season. With that power swing he's going to run into a lot of extra-base hits to center and right field. The sky is the limit."
Brian Goodwin, OF -- Washington Nationals | .268/.359/.571, 8 BB, 17 SO
"He's got a chance to do a little of everything," said one National League scout. "He's still developing but there's a lot to like in his game. He has all five tools and can do damage with each of them."
Goodwin struggled in Double-A Harrisburg, but torched the Sally League with power, patience and speed and has put both bat and glove on display in Arizona.
Seth Blair, RHP -- St. Louis Cardinals | 16 IP, 10 H, 1 ER, 18 SO, 9 BB
The right-hander made just seven appearances (six of them starts) in 2012 due to a tumor found in his right middle finger, but he's had problems with his control since signing with the Cardinals and that has continued in Arizona. If he can develop the changeup there's a No. 4 starter on his way to Busch Stadium, but a late-inning bullpen role is likely in Blair's future, and he's done little in the fall league to suggest he's on a different path.
Nick Franklin, 2B/SS -- Seattle Mariners | .341/.438/.585, 7 BB, 8 SO
"He's just a baseball player," noted one American League scouting supervisor, "and he's still getting better." Franklin is a determined, confident player that impresses by maximizing his production despite some limitations physically.
"I'd like to see what he could do as a pure left-handed stick," the supervisor added of the switch-hitting Franklin. "He drifts and expands the zone as a righty, but he's very good from the other side. I think he's ready for a shot (in the majors) this spring."
Hanser Alberto, SS -- Texas Rangers | .390/.422/.488, 2BB, 3 SO
The Dominican native is a pure shortstop, with 60-grade speed and arm strength, good instincts in the field and on the bases, and an advanced approach at the plate that has earned him high praise. As he matures physically there may be more than middle-infield power in his bat. He shows good range laterally and has terrific hands, but still needs to clean up the work on routine plays and stay within himself.
"There's a sizable ceiling there," noted a National League club's special assistant to the general manager. "He's a bit raw in some areas, but very polished in others."

Is trading away players really the only profitable thing to do when a club has a surplus of young talent like the Rangers have in their middle infielders? I know that may be an obvious yes I'm just curious if there's another strategy that can be used effectively.
Nov 02, 2012 08:31 AM
In my opinion it is but it's such a slippery slope. Do you trade one of the middle infielders (including Andrus)? Do you trade two or three of them? There's no right or wrong answer to make at this time as long as the deal makes sense. Teams have to be careful to deal from a surplus while limiting all their eggs from being in one proverbial basket. I remember a podcast where Kevin and Jason talked about the loaded (at the time) Royals farm system. They listed off all these 5 star prospects and then joked, I'm paraphrasing some memory so cut me some slack, "And they'll be lucky to get one major league regular from this list..." Looking back I'm sure the Royals could've made a deal or two that would like absolutely brilliant now but it's impossible to determine that two years ago.
Nov 02, 2012 09:41 AM
Why not put Hardy at 3B? Probably because he was playing gold glove defense at a premium position during a playoff run...
Nov 02, 2012 09:50 AM
Understood, and that makes perfect sense in 2012. I think they should put Machado back at SS and Hardy at 3B next year though.
Nov 02, 2012 11:23 AM
Even if Hardy is a better defender at short?
Nov 02, 2012 14:45 PM
If it's me, I'd still put Machado there IF the Orioles still believe he's the shortstop of the future. It'll be interesting to see what happens. If I had to guess the O's will leave Machado at third while Hardy is still with the org.
Nov 03, 2012 20:40 PM
Matt Commins
I don't think the Rangers would have called up Profar if they didn't think he was ready to play in the Show right now. Why not trade a surplus to turn a weakness into a positive? If Arizona offered a package of Justin Upton for Andrus, the Rangers would have to seriously consider it.
Nov 03, 2012 22:37 PM
Hey Jason, how did Grant Green look, overall? Has he found a home at 2B, and what did scouts think of the bat? Thanks.
Nov 02, 2012 11:03 AM
Matt Commins
I'm also curious about Grant Green.
Nov 03, 2012 22:31 PM
Nov 02, 2012 12:32 PM
yeesh, scary. I saw him a lot here in Texas at AA, and I knew he wasn't a SS or a CF. I was just hoping for enough offense to make up for the defense. I was thinking something like Michael Young type of profile, especially with his ability to hit the ball hard to right field.
Nov 02, 2012 18:28 PM
If J.J. Hardy and Manny Machado are each on the O's roster in 2013 -- which is likely -- the better SS glove should play SS.

Electric vehicles (e-vehicles, or EVs) are set to play a key role in the future of urban mobility, reducing pollution, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels and saving drivers money.
Although e-vehicles make up only a tiny fraction of the European car fleet at present, sales are expected to grow exponentially over the coming years, thanks, in no small measure, to advances in e-vehicle technology being made by EU-funded researchers. Fully electric vehicle technologies that optimise safety, energy consumption and kinetic energy recovery are also major contributors to on-going improvements in the performance of hybrid vehicles.
Across the European Union transport accounts for more than 70% of total oil consumption, the vast majority of which is imported from abroad. With more than one million additional cars going onto Europe's roads every 50 days, fuel consumption, congestion and pollution will only continue to increase if the internal combustion engine remains the main source of automotive power. Hence, the EU, national governments and private companies are spending billions on supporting the development of e-vehicles.
'Rather than offering forms of mobility based on ever-increasing energy prices, the industry is now faced with satisfying a rational demand for mobility: clean, safe and low-energy-consumption vehicles, requiring less energy to be produced, and using recyclable and eventually self-disposable materials,' says Dr Pietro Perlo, the CEO of Interactive Fully Electrical Vehicles (IFEVS), an Italian SME dedicated to e-vehicle development.
Dr Perlo helped oversee the development of ground-breaking e-vehicle technology in the 'Integrated enabling technologies for efficient electrical personal mobility' (P-MOB) project, supported by almost EUR 2.8 million in funding from the European Commission. Involving researchers from six companies (Siemens from Germany; Mazel from Spain; IFEVS, Polimodel and Fiat from Italy; and Magnomatics from the United Kingdom), as well as the University of Sheffield in the UK, the project resulted in the development of a novel prototype electric car with a range of up to 20 kilometres (km) powered by solar power alone.
Coordinated by Centro Ricerche Fiat in Turin, Italy, the team behind P-MOB sought to break the link between increasing transport capacity and rising road deaths, congestion and pollution by developing an e-vehicle prototype that is not only clean, but extremely safe and compact. To do so, the researchers took a novel approach to advanced systems integration focusing, among other things, on solar cells, e-motor and magnetic torque control, power-energy management, distributed accumulators and technologies to enable e-vehicles to put power back into the grid when not in use.
Presentation link: http://eeepro.shef.ac.uk/p-mob/documents/jbw_presentation_07_2012.pdf
'The design has met the highest safety ranking, a low footprint and extremely low energy consumption, making the vehicle ideal for most people's needs in cities as well as suburban roads,' Dr Perlo notes.
The prototype is a small compact vehicle – weighting less than 600 kilogrammes (kg) before the installation of the battery pack, and with a top speed of over 100 km/h – which meets new regulations on 'micro' electric vehicles. It is also able to meet the classical regulations for vehicle categories such as M1 (a car with eight passenger seats or fewer).
Aerodynamic, safe and solar-powered
A parallel project called 'Building blocks concepts for efficient and safe multiuse urban electrical vehicles' (WIDE-MOB), also involving the P-MOB partners, helped address the design and development of the basic building blocks of electric vehicles. The WIDE-MOB team worked on optimised aerodynamics to radically reduce the drag at any speed and lightweight and low-cost bodies designed for high safety in the event of a frontal or lateral crash, as well as a variety of technologies for distributed propulsion.
'Our vehicle is the first with a two-motor powertrain with one motor per axle. We have two doors on one side only ensuring a high degree of safety, better ergonomics and reduced complexity with extremely low aerodynamic drag: around 30 % lower than other vehicles of the same dimensions,' Dr Perlo explains. 'All the technologies were developed during the course of the project by the partners. Only the battery cells were produced outside Europe, though the design came from within the project.'
The project's integrated ICT-based control systems allow for the operation of two motors and two differentials – so the vehicle's front and rear axles are independent, providing effective four-wheel drive – as well as variation of the torque ratio, depending on driving conditions, which provides a variety of important benefits. It increases vehicle control on small radius curves, improves adherence on wet and icy roads, provides the impression of faster acceleration without drawing more power and allows for fail-safe operation: if one motor fails the other will always allow you to return home. Most significantly, this in turn ensures that a single motor failure will not cause loss of control of the vehicle, particularly at high speeds.
In addition, the use of two motors combined with ICT-based smart energy management enables higher efficiency, because the two motors can individually be operated at peak performance in all driving conditions, while maximising energy recovery during braking through distributed braking on two axles combined with virtual 'anti-lock braking system' (ABS) control.
Meanwhile, smart photovoltaic panels with smart diodes and self-adapting electronics minimise loss of energy generation due to shadows or a single malfunctioning cell. Like most electric vehicles, the P-MOB prototype can be charged directly from the electricity grid. The addition of flexible high-efficiency mono-crystalline silicon solar-cell technology, however, means that it can also be powered by the sun alone and can even sell back power to the electricity grid once its batteries are full.
In trials at Fiat's testing track in Turin, the vehicle was able to travel 20 km powered solely by its solar cells – more than enough for the average European daily commuter, especially in sunnier southern Europe.
'The vehicle's performance met our expectations for the design: it showed very high stability on small radius curves and had an average energy consumption of around 80 Watt-hours per kilometre,' Dr Perlo says. 'We presented it to the public at events in Turin, Athens and Brussels and received very positive feedback.'
The prototype was designed using the first variable design platform for micro electric vehicles, also created within the P-MOB and WIDE-MOB projects, and now set to continue its evolution within the EU-MOBY R&D platform, supported by the European Commission.
'The idea of having a vehicle that with minor additions could meet both the homologation of micro electric vehicles and the classical M1 world is new and is enabling novel business approaches. All these concepts have been patented,' Dr Perlo notes.
However, he points out that batteries are at the heart of electrical vehicles and Europe's lack of a strong battery industry remains a challenge to home-grown technology. 'No doubt a new level of pan-European industrial organisation is needed to specifically address the manufacture of batteries because this will put the overall road transport industry in trouble in the next few years,' he says.
Nonetheless, electric vehicle sales in Europe are expected to increase apace, rising from 45,000 this year to 400,000 in 2015, representing around 3.5 % of new passenger car registrations. As technology improves, prices will also drop, with a small to mid-sized electric passenger car with a range of 250 km on a single charge predicted to cost EUR 15,000 within four years, down from EUR 20,000 at present.
Another incentive to switch to electric is likely to come from EU plans to progressively reduce overall passenger car fleet CO2 emissions over the coming years.
'This will likely induce a deep change in the personal mobility offer: the conventional passenger car price will increase due to the technology to achieve the CO2 emission threshold while electric vehicles will fall in cost thanks to the optimisation of the manufacturing process and increasing sales,' Dr Perlo predicts. 'There will be a new equilibrium in the market and there will be room for new vehicle concepts such as the one developed in P-MOB.'
P-MOB received research funding under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).

Golden Oldies: Book Review: Managing Leadershipby Miki Saxon
It's amazing to me, but looking back over more than a decade of writing I find posts that still impress, with information that is as useful now as when it was written.
Golden Oldies is a collection of what I consider some of the best posts during that time.
I'm not a fan of the leadership industry; I think it has corrupted the whole notion of leadership. Anybody/everybody can be leaders at a given moment. Life changes and Jim Stroup, who wrote Managing Leadership, one of the best blogs on that subject stopped writing a couple of years ago. But all his wonderful posts are at the link and he also wrote an excellent book on the subject.
Read other Golden Oldies here.
During a conversation about positional leadership Richard Barrett said, "Reminds me of a Seinfeld joke. He pointed to professional sports teams and asked about team loyalty. The players change, the coaches change, and sometimes even the stadium changes. So, the people are really loyal to the logos on the team uniforms, just a pile of laundry. Maybe positional leadership is just laundry leadership?"
I like that—laundry leadership. Great term.
So what's available instead of laundry leadership, especially these days when so much of the laundry is dirty?
Why not organizational leadership? Leadership that percolates from every nook and cranny of the enterprise driving innovation and productivity far beyond the norm.
Following this to its natural conclusion makes leadership a corporate asset and one that needs to be managed for it to have the highest possible impact.
Jim Stroup, whose blog I love, is a major proponent of this idea and defines and explains it in his book Managing Leadership: Toward a New and Usable Understanding of What Leadership Really Is And How To Manage It.
Of all the leadership books, Managing Leadership is the first book I've seen that breaks with the accepted idea of the larger-than-life leader whose visions people embrace and follow almost blindly.
Stroup says today's corporations are far too complex for one person to know everything; that, given a chance, leadership will come naturally and unstoppably from all parts and levels of the organization making it a characteristic of the organization, rather than one person's crown.
Sadly, fear makes the idea that leadership comes from all people at all levels and should be managed to make the most of it anathema to many senior managers; they consider leadership a perk of seniority and prefer squashing it when the source doesn't occupy the 'correct' position.
I highly recommend Jim's book. Even if the management above you doesn't embrace this paradigm, you can within your own group. Encourage your people to take the initiative, guide them as needed, then get out of the way and watch them fly.

According to a leaked internal calendar, Sprint is poised to launch the Motorola Xoom and the Nexus S 4G in early May. If you take a look at the above image, Sprint is slated to begin training for both the Xoom and Nexus S 4G on April 25. Based on Sprint's past, product launches usually follow the initial training date by two weeks, thus the expectation that these two Android devices will launch sometime in the second week of May. Rumors have been circulating for quite some time now that Sprint will launch its own flavor of the Android Honeycomb running tablet — the Xoom. And, we all know that the Nexus S 4G should be launching any time now, since it's already been announced and pre-orders through Best Buy have been underway. With both these facts in mind, the current rumor seems pretty legitimate, but of course, we'll have to wait for official confirmation by Sprint to know if it pans out or not.

I've hunted and taken 1 bear and 1 elk. I ate both animals I took. The bear was about 10 miles from the nearest road but only about 1 mile from my friend's cabin. We used 4-wheelers to get the carcass out of the woods after we field dressed it, skinned and quartered it. The elk... I admit was a high fence canned hunt. I won the hunt in a raffle that I'd actually entered for the guns they were raffling off but got the hunt instead. That was in a 500+ acre fenced in area that they released one female elk into. I found the animal at the far southern corner of the compound after tracking it for half the day (the danged things don't walk in a straight line and I'm not that good of a tracker!) I shot her dead where she stood and placed a radio call to the people who owned the place. I hiked out while they came and got her with 4-wheelers and I took her home in the back of my truck afterwards - in pieces.
I'd like to hunt elk in the wild but at this point its outside of my budget and frankly not a necessity so I won't be hunting wild elk any time soon. I have no desire to pay into and wait on the lottery here for bear tags so I won't be hunting bear anymore either unless they eliminate the lottery but that won't happen any time soon. If I get the chance to hunt large game I'll take it but I will also NOT just hunt for a trophy. I'll eat the wild game I take too.
Oh and I never came close to seeing a 500lb bear when I bear hunted. The largest I saw topped 300 maybe... and the one I shot was closer to 200. I got about 100lbs of meat off it after it was gutted, skinned and boned. I bet in order to get 500lbs of meat off a bear that thing'd have to weigh more like 650 - 700lbs - that's HUGE for black bear around here. Personally while I'll eat bear I'm not so much a fan of that as I am of elk meat. Having eaten it I can say I like it more than deer and definitely more than bear.
I've heard of other hunters taking the trophy but giving the meat to local charities so it doesn't get wasted.
This is who we are, what we do.

Unilever embraces WOM, but will need more than social media to trigger it
By Steve Thomson, Managing Director, Keller Fay- UK The UK's Marketing magazine this week posted an intriguing article outlining how Unilever was "shifting focus from social media to word of mouth". In fact, as the piece acknowledges, it's not that Unilever is turning its back on social media as such, but that the global fmcg power is demanding more from it. Unilever's Debbie Weinstein is quoted as saying "We are now looking to develop broader social CRM programmes and trigger advocacy through word of mouth." – with outcomes such as 'Likes' being insufficient. Unilever is right to demand more from social media. We've noted recent strong evidence that engagement levels in social media are very low for most brands, and that the primary driver of social media conversations is social
Your Facebook Fans are "1 Percenters"
Ed Keller With this week's Facebook IPO filing, a lot of big numbers are being bandied about: An estimated $5 billion initial offer, and perhaps between $75 and $100 billion for the total market valuation. Facebook also represents big numbers to brand marketers: An audience of nearly 1 billion consumers, and the growing legions of brand fans – often tens of millions –marketers have accumulated on Facebook. Social media pundits often liken them to an army of brand advocates, ready to engage on a moment's notice. The only problem with this scenario is that it turns out most fans are quite unenthusiastic about playing this role. After the initial click to "like" the brand, they rarely interact again with the brand on Facebook. That's the headline finding from a new
Why Brands Must Care about Both Offline and Online Word of Mouth
By Ed Keller I have written previously about a groundbreaking academic study that highlighted how fundamentally different online conversation is from offline word of mouth. The headline finding from that research, released in late 2010 at a conference convened by the Wharton School and the Marketing Science Institute (MSI), was clear: "Online data does not reflect well the offline behavior. Word of mouth is not channel neutral. One cannot automatically generalize the results from online to offline." This is particularly relevant in light of the fact that social media – despite its rapid rise to prominence – still accounts for less than 10% of all word of mouth. The authors of that research have now released a new working paper that sheds further light on the question of offline versus
Content-sharing not an end in itself
By Steve Thomson, Managing Director, Keller Fay- UK UK department store John Lewis hit an apparent bulls-eye over the Christmas season, achieving the kind of viral success with its seasonal TV ad that all marketing directors crave, with four million hits on YouTube. Most brands today are desperately figuring out how to create content which is also shared widely and quickly. Is this a realistic strategy, or is it the marketing equivalent of hoping for a lottery win or X-Factor success, rather than setting your sights on a more attainable career plan? Looking at the latest stats on what is being shared suggests the 'lottery win' analogy is the reality for many brands and categories – something obviously desirable, but you'd best not plan your life or brand strategy assuming
Email Marketers Claim "Email is the New Social Media": Fact or Fiction?
By Ed Keller As the trade press continues to focus on the year that was in 2011 and forecasts for the year to come in 2012, social media remains a hot topic of conversation. Two reports have come out recently making the case that email remains a big and effective part of the social story. In his keynote address to MediaPost's Email Insider Summit, Tynt CEO Derek Ball noted that despite the growth of Facebook, sharing via email has gone up over 20% in the past 18 months. "We call email the original social network because it really is social," he says. About a week later came a report in Marketing Profs that two-thirds of business leaders (68%) say they plan to integrate social media with their email marketing efforts
Are you Maximing Your Word of Mouth at Retail? Lessons from Apple
By Ed Keller In Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson talks about the seven industries that Steve Jobs revolutionized: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, digital publishing, and retailing. As we approach Thanksgiving and "Black Friday," the most important day in retail, let's consider how the Apple Stores changed business retail, which is the topic of Chapter 29 in the Jobs biography. It's easy to forget how dismissive experts were when Apple decided to enter the retail business in 2001. "Maybe it's time for Steve Jobs to stop thinking quite so differently," wrote Business Week. Of course, the Apple Stores went on to achieve record breaking success, despite such doubts, because they had a mission that was about more than providing a place for transactions with customers. Jobs envisioned the

Traditional Media Is Social's "Rock in the Pond"
By Ed Keller Imagine you have an important marketing investment decision to make, and you have what you think is clear and compelling evidence. Then, you subsequently learn that in fact you are overestimating the impact of your investment by as much as 40%. You'd be pretty upset. This is what may be happening today as marketers seek to understand and quantify the impact of their social media investments, according to a new analysis by MarketShare. It is one of several thought provoking points put forth by Pat LaPointe, EVP at MarketShare, in a recent piece in the Journal of Advertising Research (JAR) about the relationship between "traditional" and "social" media. Business investment in social media is on the rise, a statistic most recently reinforced by a survey released recently

Social Media is "Word of Mouth on Steroids": Or is It?
by Ed Keller At a conference earlier this year, an executive from Facebook declared that social networking sites like Facebook deliver "word of mouth at scale." He went on to say, "This is what marketers have always tried to bottle up. The social web is finally allowing us to do that. This is word of mouth on steroids." The notion that social media is word of mouth on steroids is a comment I frequently hear others make, as well. Last week, I came across an article documenting "The 100 Most Engaging Brands on Facebook" for the month of September. At first blush, the numbers appear to be impressive, indeed. Topping the list was Facebook itself with 53 million fans, followed by Coca-Cola (34m), Disney (28m), Starbucks (25m), and Red Bull

Showing Emotion is the New Black
by Ed Keller At a recent event in Seattle sponsored by the Word of Mouth Marketing Association, Heather Oldani of McDonalds told the audience, "For brands, showing emotion is the new black." It resonated with the audience, and was one of the most tweeted takeaways from the event. Oldani's comment was a continuation of thoughts she had shared in September when she was the keynoter at the PR News Platinum Awards luncheon. At that event she explained further: "Listening, having a conversation, and building long-term relationships are all key traits that we as humans possess and employ at various times. However, it hasn't been until recently that the idea of connecting these 'human elements' to brands has been made. Ella Luna from IDEO declared at a recent design forum here

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Roenick Looking for a Cup
by Alanah McGinley on 10/15/07 at 08:43 PM ET
Comments (0)
From Jim Morris at the CP,
Roenick is on course to become the 40th NHL player, and just the third born in the U.S., to score 500 goals.
"That would be great," said Roenick, who signed as a free agent with the Sharks this summer after a couple of frustrating seasons in Phoenix and Los Angeles. "That would be a true treat but that's not my goal right now. That will be something I can look back at when I'm done and really feel good about myself. No. 1 would be the Stanley Cup."
Roenick, a 37-year-old native of Boston, headed into the game against Vancouver with 497 career goals. The two goals he scored this year both came in a 3-1 win over the Canucks on Oct. 5.
*I'm guessing he gets his 500th against Vancouver—it seems like everyone scores their milestone goals against the Canucks.
So it's either a hat trick tonight, or Sharks fans better not expect him to score his 500th till December 13th…

|Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Obesity and Neurocognitive Function
|Brief Summary
- Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and MC4R genetic mutations are two conditions that can cause problems with appetite regulation. People with PWS often have behavior and thinking problems. People with MC4R mutations may have problems with attention. These problems may be related to Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a protein that is important for brain development. Researchers want to study people with PWS and MC4R mutations to see how BDNF is involved in these conditions. Specifically, body weight and brain function will be studied, and compared with healthy volunteers.
- To study how BDNF affects body weight and brain function in people with PWS and MC4R mutations.
|Detailed Description
|Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein that is important in nervous system development and function. BDNF also appears to function downstream of the leptin-melanocortin signaling pathway to control appetite. In both animals and humans, diminished BDNF function is associated with hyperphagia, obesity, and neurocognitive deficits. We propose to study BDNF in two hyperphagic disorders: Prader-Willi syndrome and MC4R function-altering mutations. We hypothesize that patients with PWS may have increased BDNF during infancy, followed by a decline in BDNF that precedes the onset of hyperphagia and persists after the onset of obesity. We hypothesize that patients with MC4R mutations will have decreased BDNF, the severity of which will be associated with the degree of MC4R functional loss caused by the specific mutation(s) in each individual. To test these hypotheses, we wish to conduct cross-sectional studies to evaluate serum BDNF concentrations, metabolism, body composition, and neurocognition in: subjects with PWS, subjects with MC4R mutations and control subjects matched for age, sex, race, and BMI. If alterations in BDNF are found to be associated with PWS and/or MC4R mutations, these investigations could lead to future studies of BDNF receptor agonists as mechanism-specific pharmacologic therapy for hyperphagia and obesity in PWS and MC4R mutations, or BDNF receptor antagonists for failure-to-thrive in neonatal PWS.

Kellogg's Original Rice Krispies Treats

Everyone in my family loves these! I could eat them until I am physically ill, lol. The packaging is perfect for on the go snacks and they are good sized as well. THe only complain that I would have is that the last time I bought them, they seem to have a weird plastic chemical aftertaste to them. Maybe the packaging changed? Not sure. So I would rather make them from scratch. And I don't give them to my son, that aftertaste kind of freaked me out a little. Possibly a nasty preservative or something.
These are one of our favorite snacks in my household. My Father and I down a box of these in a matter of a few days for how good they are. I know a lot of people say that you can just make the, but trust me these are way better than homemade Rice Krispies Treats. They are super soft, sweet, and have the right amount of crunch. These also melt in your mouth which is awesome. They are a bit sticky of course so just be aware. Super yummy treat!
We love these treats in our family! Not only are they tasty but they serve as great party favors as well. I used them as a decorative favor where we dipped half of the Rice Krispie treat in white chocolate and then sprinkles on top of that. I put a succor stick in in afterwards so it was like a Rice Krispie lolly pop. Perfect and so much easier than making my own and trying to cut them perfectly. Big fan of these!
My husband and I recently ate an entire box of this in one day because we just felt like it. We definitely try and eat healthy but when it comes to snacking.. we can snack all day.. especially him with his chips! But these are delicious and anyone who hasn't tried this yet.. please go out and try them they are great! I still want to make some homemade ones with the hubby!
always a sweet treat that I don't have to talk myself into eating. I get picky about when I will eat sweets so some things I won't open , these are always a good bet. They are always good for the price compared to other items they are going to be the lowest - I always stick with the original ones - generics and the other varieties they make never compare to the original.
My seven year old absolutely loves Rice Krispy treats. I keep threatening to try to make some from scratch, but so far he gets the store bought. They seem a bit expensive, but Publix and Bi-Lo have had sales on the recently, which is great. They are a good treat for him. A good snack size and thickness. They also come individually wrapped, and have always been fresh.
Kellogg's The Original Rice Krispies treat are the best go-to snack when you need a lift me up. They are light and fluffy with a hint of sweetness. I'm not a big fan of marshmallow, but I love this treat. My little cousin and I always fight over the last Rice Krispies. The variety pack is just an added treat that makes each and very bite even more special.
These are my all time favorite treats to eat to give out on Halloween. Always the perfect blend of soft creamy marshmallow mixed into the Rice Krispies , personally could eat all by myself but fortunately I love to share. This treat brings me back to great Halloween memories as a child this is the best time of the year to eat them and the cute packaging
I don't think I've met anyone who dislikes Rice Krispies Treats. I love making them at home, but sometimes I get lazy and I pick up a few of the Kellogs Rice Krispies Treats packs for the kids and I. The're soft, chewy, and have just the right amount of marshmallow in them. These are great for snacks during anytime of the day and for any family member.
Perfect size for putting in the car and taking on camping trips or to the drive-in movies. Doesn't have enough dairy to affect me, so I see it as a good dairy free treat that is also gluten-free for everyone else. Never very expensive, and easy to find on sale during back to school. Perfect for lunch boxes and a small sweet snack while on the go.
What do you drink when you eat Rice Krispy Treats?
Do they taste good
Do you prefer original or the chocolate flavored treats?

Hotel Blue to Raise Funds to Help Medical Univ of SC Build Medical Center
Members of the VacationMyrtleBeach.com resort family, Mr. and Mrs. John Wendell and Wendy Smith, recently lost their three year old daughter Jessica following a lifelong struggle with Alpers Disease, a rare degenerative mitochondrial disease. Unfortunately the Smith family learned early on that knowledge about Alpers Disease is sparse because of both the rarity of the disease and the difficulty of the diagnosis of the disease. Following Jessica's courageous fight, John Wendell and Wendy dedicated themselves to help give more exposure to Alpers Disease and all other mitochondrial diseases to help improve the diagnosis and prognosis of these terrible diseases. John Wendell, Wendy and their son Tanner frequently traveled back and forth to Charleston, SC and The Medical University of South Carolina with Jessica for her treatments and their experience with the doctors and other staff was exceptional through this hard time. During that time the Smith Family had to go from end to end of Medical University of South Carolina to meet with the proper doctors and medical staff. The Smith family's goal is to help create the Livi Center which will put all of the doctors, staff and other resources in one central location so that treatment of these mitochondrial diseases can be improved and made easier and more efficient for the children and their families. The entire VacationMyrtleBeach.com resort family has rallied to support the Smith's and will devote the entire summer to help them reach their goal. "All of us in the VacationMyrtleBeach.com resort group were deeply saddened at the loss of Jessica and we all want to support John Wendell and Wendy in any way that we can. When the opportunity arose for us to assist them in their mission to help create the Livi Center, we knew that we had to step up to help make that happen," said Matt Klugman of VacationMyrtleBeach.com During the months of June, July and August, the VacationMyrtleBeach.com resort group will be accepting guest donations to help create the Livi Center at MUSC, and at the end of the summer we will pool all of the donations and make a matching contribution to the center. We are all honored that we can help this mission in our own way.

Nan Goldin | Scopophilia
Scopophilia, which consists of over 400 photographs culled from Goldin's career, pairs her own autobiographical images with new photographs of paintings and sculpture from the Louvre's collection. Organized around themes of love and desire, Scopophilia, which means "the love of looking," reflects on Goldin's intensely personal photographs, as well as the unique permission given to the artist to photograph freely throughout the Louvre Museum. Of this project, Goldin explains, "Desire awoken by images is the project's true starting point. It is about the idea of taking a picture of a sculpture or a painting in an attempt to bring it to life." Nan Goldin's work has been the subject of two major touring museum retrospectives, one organized in 1996 by the Whitney Museum of American Art, and another, in 2001, by the Centre Georges Pompidou. Goldin was admitted to the French Legion of Honor in 2006 and received the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in 2007. Last year Nan Goldin: Berlin Work, Photographs 1984-2009 was seen at the Berlinische Gallery in Berlin. Scopophilia, will be the artist's eighth exhibition at Matthew Marks Gallery since 1992.

There's just a ton of music from every genre imaginable taking place this weekend in Tampa Bay, starting with two of the most anticipated rock shows of 2014: Arctic Monkeys, above, at Jannus Live on Saturday, and Queens of the Stone Age at the Mahaffey Theater on Tuesday.
Other concerts this week around town include Barry Manilow, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Steep Canyon Rangers, Yonder Mountain String Band, Jake Shimabukuro, UZ, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, the Airborne Toxic Event, Johnny Mathis, Pure Prairie League, Sevendust, Bring Me the Horizon, Nipsey Hussle, St. Paul and the Broken Bones and more. Here to walk you through it all is Ray Roa (who, we'd like to point out, is organizing a little concert of his own this weekend)...
Barry Manilow
FRIDAY 7:30 p.m. Tampa Bay Times Forum, 401 Channelside Drive, Tampa. $9.99-$159.99. (813) 301-2500.
The man who writes the songs that the whole world sings gave you a perfect excuse to indulge your inner schmaltziness at this one — tickets to this show start at just $9.99, and no, that's not a misprint. Manilow had five albums on the charts simultaneously in 1978, testament to his talent and those wide-collar times. His up-and-down status as an icon mirrors the past 50 years of American culture; he's been considered both a melodic genius (selling more than 80 million albums based on hooks that make you want to sob) and an out-of-touch punchline (berated in teen touchstone flick The Breakfast Club as the epitome of clueless, risk-averse adulthood). But if you've spent a lifetime honing your karaoke chops on Mandy, Copacabana and Looks Like We Made it, it's gotta be worth shelling out $10 to see him in 2014, right? — tbt* staff
Queens of the Stone Age
With Chelsea Wolfe
TUESDAY 7:30 p.m. Mahaffey Theater, 400 First St. S, St. Petersburg. $44.50-$66.50. (727) 892-5767.
Don't let Queens of the Stone Age's six albums of pummelling sludge-rock fool you. Hulking singer Josh Homme may have one of modern metal's most formidable frontmen, but he's also one of its best personalities, with comedic cameos on everything from podcasts (The Nerdist, WTF with Mark Maron) to TV shows (Tosh.0, Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations). He's a born collaborator, which explains the group's performance closing out last weekend's Grammys alongside Dave Grohl, Nine Inch Nails and Lindsay Buckingham — and it helps explain the Elton John cameo on QOTSA's latest, ...Like Clockwork, an operatic album that blended QOTSA's trademark menace with delicate piano interludes; sweeping, Bowie-like theatricality; and proggish, Gothic undertones. This is the band's first local show since 2005, when they opened for Nine Inch Nails at the then-St. Pete Times Forum, and Homme's legion of acolytes will surely turn out in force at this most un-metal of venues. — Jay Cridlin
Arctic Monkeys
With The Orwells
SATURDAY 8 p.m. Jannus Live, 16 Second St. N, St. Petersburg. Sold Out. (727) 565-0550.
Having outgrown The Ritz Ybor, pompadour-sporting frontman Alex Turner and Artic Monkeys arrive at Jannus Live with plenty more to celebrate. It's the venue's first sold-out show of 2014, and the band's latest single, Do I Wanna Know?, recently claimed the no. 1 spot on Billboard's radio-based Alternative Songs survey, which means that America has finally caught up with the rest of the world when it comes to the adoration of dingy, sexy, leather-clad Brit-pop. The Orwells — whose recent Late Show performance had David Letterman in awe — open this show that you'd do anything to have a ticket to.
Jake Shimabukuro
FRIDAY 7:30 p.m. Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St., Clearwater. $40-$50. (727) 791-7400.
The trip from Hawaii to Tampa Bay is a bear, but don't tell that to Jake Shimabukuro. The 37-year-old ukulele messiah (who doesn't look two days over 21) played his first Bay area shows at Tampa's Skipper's Smokehouse less than 10 years ago, and Shimabukuro's Friday appearance at The Cap marks his third visit to Pinellas County in the last 12 months. It might be the tropical weather that reels him in, but what probably keeps him coming back is the way local audiences receive (in pin-drop silence) and react to (thunderous applause and the tossing of leis) his jaw-dropping, Hendrix-esque domination of a minuscule, two-octave, four-stringed instrument.
Yonder Mountain String Band
With Travelin' McCourys
FRIDAY 8 p.m. Jannus Live, 16 Second St. N, St. Petersburg. $20-$25. (727) 565-0550.
Jannus Live's big week kicks off with this show from Colorado-based, don't-you-dare-call-it-bluegrass outfit Yonder Mountain String Band. While they do employ a whole heck of a lot of banjo, mandolin and dobro, the Yonderers would rather you focus on their ability to fuse the sensibilities of old Americana with the jam-band tendency to improvise for minutes on end. The band will have a different look this time around, since regular mandolin player Jeff Austin is skipping the January leg of the tour to be with his newborn daughter, but roots music fans will be pleased to know that Ronnie McCoury and fiddler Jason Carter — from tourmates the Travelin' McCourys — will round out the lineup.
With Nerd Rage, Mr. Saturn, Winta
FRIDAY 9:30 p.m. Amphitheatre, 1609 E Seventh Ave., Ybor City. $15-$20. (813) 873-8368.
Things have moved fast for UZ since Jeffree's, a sub-label of taste-making EDM imprint Mad Decent, released Trap S--- in June 2012. The mysteriously masked producer played to a packed G.Bar six months later, and on Friday he returns to Ybor for a show at a much bigger venue in front of an equally rabid crowd hungry for "trap," a style of dance music that typically eschews the womps and warbles of aggro-dubstep in favor of a more refined strain that pays tribute to Dirty South drug rap with its almost sub-sonic bass, high snares and simple, catchy synths.
Carolina Chocolate Drops
SATURDAY 7:30 p.m. Straz Center for the Performing Arts, 1010 N W.C. MacInnes Place, Tampa. $24.50. (813) 229-7827.
In a 2011 interview, Carolina Chocolate Drops singer Rhiannon Giddens told NPR that the audience for the kind of über-throwback (think 19th century) black folk music her band creates was existent, but "just very small." A bit has changed since then. The group has a new look thanks to the addition of two new members, and producer Buddy Miller helped the Drops modernize their sound on a new LP, Leaving Eden. But the live show — complete with fiddles, kazoos and jugs — is like watching a museum exhibit come to life. There are a lot more people there to see it these days, too.
Steep Canyon Rangers
With Mitch Lind and the Lagerheads
SATURDAY 8 p.m. Skipper's Smokehouse, 910 Skipper Road, Tampa. $15-$18. (813) 971-0666.
Their fabled friendship with comedian (and Grammy-winning bluegrass picker) Steve Martin began on a 2009 broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion, but Steep Canyon Rangers' history goes much further than that. They self-released their debut, Old Dreams and New Dreams, 13 years ago, and have since used their fusion of old and new bluegrass to stitch together seven LPs of their own. All are rife with award-winning plucking (Nobody Knows won the Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album last year) buoyed by the Rangers' real gift: Stellar, sturdy, surefire songwriting. Martin won't be at this gig, but real bluegrass fans will have to find a better reason not to show at this one.
Big Head Todd and the Monsters
With Martin Sexton
THURSDAY 7 p.m. State Theatre, 687 Central Ave., St. Petersburg. $20-$25. (727) 895-3045.
Big Head Todd and the Monsters' last local gig was probably unbeknownst to you, unless you were a GOP VIP with access to private parties at the Ritz Ybor during the 2012 Republican National Convention. But at this State Theatre show, the band will celebrate the Feb. 4 release of new LP Black Beehive, which attempts to recreate the magic of the mid '90s, when the Monsters' popularity hit all-time highs thanks to laid back, alt-rock gems like Bittersweet, Boom Boom and It's Alright. Quirky singer-songwriter Martin Sexton (who shouts out to the Sarasota seas on his most famous track, Diner) opens.
St. Paul and the Broken Bones
With Nervous Turkey, The Sh-Booms, Joey Da Glasses
THURSDAY 8 p.m. Crowbar, 1812 N 17th St., Ybor City. $8-$10. (813) 241-8600.
Paul Janeway studied to be a preacher until he said goodbye to the cloth after his 18th birthday. He went on to become a banker, but his true calling was to lead of what may be the next great southern soul band, St. Paul and the Broken Bones. Dressed impeccably and filled with the spirit of James Brown, Sam Cooke and Al Green, Janeway belts out explosive, gut-wrenching R&B that marries all the tradition of Muscle Shoals, Ala., and Memphis' Stax Records with the kind of fire and fervor normally reserved for tent revivals. Their debut LP, Half The City, was produced by Alabama Shakes' Ben Tanner, and oozes with warm horns held in with tight rhythms from the Bones, a backing band that could give the Dap-Kings a run for their money.
Suburban Apologist 3-Year Anniversary Party
With Wolf-Face, X Priest X, Alexander & The Grapes, Sunshine State, Deaf Poets
SATURDAY 9 p.m. New World Brewery, 1313 E Eighth Ave., Ybor City. Free. (813) 248-4969 or suburbanapologist.net.
When he's not writing concert listings for tbt*, Ray Roa runs the blog Suburban Apologist, which for the past three years has covered the ins and outs of the Tampa music scene. This weekend, Suburban Apologist will celebrate its third anniversary by welcoming in some of the Bay area's finest — including hirsute songsmith Alexander Charos and his Grapes and lupine-costumed punks Wolf-Face — as well as up-and-coming Florida acts like Sunshine State (a grunge-punk outfit featuring former members of Against Me! and Whiskey and Co.) and indie-electro-popsters X Priest X. — Jay Cridlin

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Road Runner was one incredibly lucky cat. In one instance, he was tossed out of a vehicle and then seconds after that happened was hit by a gravel trtuck and was stuck in the wheel well. What is the most amazing part of it all, he was hardly injured - some minor bruising but no broken bones or lacerations. It's a miracle he survived. He has come leaps and bounds with his trust towards people, at first he was very nervous but has now learned to love and trust. He will play with his cat nip toys and chase around the other cats, he has a lot of energy to burn and at the end of the day will cuddle down next to you for a nap. He will do well in most homes but it may take a few weeks for him to get comfortable. We ask he be adopted into a home where someone is not away often and preferably with another cat or cats.
RoadRunner, a Strathmore Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Strathmore, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Strathmore.

'In Good Hands' was the title of an article included In the latest 'Travel Zimbabwe' publication released in Durban over the 2012 Indaba Trade Show, which featured some of Zimbabwe's top professional guides as those who have helped earn Zimbabwe's reputation for its "World-class guiding'.
Our very own Owner and CEO, as well as professional guide, Beks Ndlovu was featured as one of the well-known and respected professional guides guiding in Zimbabwe today.
In his interview with 'Travel Zimbabwe', Beks explains, 'It was a combination of my love for the great outdoors and the opportunities to work directly with people that led me into guiding.' He goes on to mention that his favourite part of his training was acquiring the ability to recognise people's interests, 'it now enables me to feed each visitor's particular thirst for knowledge about the natural world we live in.'
Zimbabwe's procedures for obtaining a Professional Guides License are known to be one of the most difficult, extensive and well respected throughout Africa. Those looking to do their Professional Guides License have to undergo the following to become a fully accredited Professional Guide:
– A Learner's theory examination where their knowledge of the environment, the ecology, vegetation, geography, birds and wildlife, first aid, firearms and ballistics, as well as environmental and tourism laws are tested.
– A minimum two year apprenticeship then follows under the tutorship of a holder of a Full License from National Parks. Under the tutorship, learner guides will gain extensive experience of working in the bush and guiding clients through their shadowing of other professional guides. This includes fulfilling a certain number of hours conducting walking safaris, game drives and hunting safaris.
– Once the two year apprenticeship is complete, the Learner Guide then has to go through an extensive week-long practical examination to ensure his guiding, his knowledge and his firearm skills will ensure the safety of any guests whom he will guide in the future.
African Bush Camps is proud to have some of the finest of Zimbabwe's Professional Guides working within the company. To read more on this article (p12) or review the publication visit http://www.ta-emags.com/V1/Zimbabwe/TZim2/

Timothy W. Burger, 41, formerly of North Platte, was sentenced Tuesday in to five years in federal prison for receiving and distributing child pornography.
Computers at Burger's home contained more than 40 videos of child pornography, the majority of which depicted prepubescent females violated by adult men, police said. Burger admitted downloading videos with a file-sharing program, Gilg said.
U.S. District Judge Joseph F. Bataillon issued the sentence.
Gilg said Burger will serve a full five years. There is no parole for federal inmates. After release, Burger will begin a 10-year probation and also be required to register as a sex offender.
The Nebraska Attorney Generals Offices Rural Cyber Crimes Task Force and the North Platte Police Department investigated the case.
The Rural Cyber Crimes Task Force investigates receipt and distribution of child pornography.
Charges were filed as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat child sexual exploitation. The project was launched in May 2006 by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims, Gilg said in a prepared statement.

An American drone strike in southern Yemen killed at least two people suspected of being Al Qaeda militants on Saturday.
The targeted killing was the ninth such drone strike in two weeks, Yemeni officials told the Associated Press. Some 38 suspected militants have been killed in those strikes.
The men were traveling in a car in Askariya, in Lahj Province, with two companions. Those men were wounded in the strike, one critically. The drone also fired at a second car, but missed its mark, and the suspected militants escaped in their vehicle.
"The militants were taking a weapons shipment by vehicle to a different location when that strike took place," a local security official told CNN.
Residents told CNN that the drone had been clearly visible on Saturday afternoon, flying in low altitude between Yafe'e and Radman.
"We strongly condemn the drones," Fadl Abdullah, head of the Yemeni Organization for Human Rights, told the AP on Friday, before the latest strike. "There are strong chances that civilians get killed in the middle of the strike, either because they are present at the site of the attack or simply because of wrong information provided by the informants."
The US recently evacuated diplomatic staff members from Sanaa, Yemen's capital, due to concerns that a terrorist attack on Americans there was imminent. The US embassy in Yemen remains closed.

Researchers Cite Lack of Research into ADHD Drug Safety
A new analysis suggests that little research has been done to prove the long-term safety of medications for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), despite rising prescription rates.
Study Finds Lack of Research into ADHD Drug Safety
"We have too few long-term studies on the effects of these medications. There's a big, big gap in our understanding of what the effect of these medicines might be. It's worrisome." – Dr. Sanford Newmark as published by Reuters Health
According to Reuters, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that roughly 6.4 million children between the ages of four and 17 in the U.S. have been diagnosed with ADHD as of 2011 – about half of those diagnosed were prescribed drugs to treat the disorder.
However, despite these high prescription rates, healthcare professionals have noted that there has been surprisingly little research into the long-term effects of ADHD drugs.
In fact, researchers from the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milan, Italy found only six studies had examined ADHD medications for a period longer than 12 weeks. Further, the researchers determined that all six studies were funded by pharmaceutical companies.
The authors of the study noted that while the studies addressed most common side effects, including decreased appetite, insomnia, headaches and stomach pain, the studies appeared to miss adverse events that occur less frequently. These include suicidal thinking and long-lasting erections.
FDA Issues Warnings over Unreported Side-Effects
Reuters reports that both of the latter side effects, suicidal thinking and long-lasting erections, have been previously addressed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
In 2005, the FDA ordered a black-box warning label for atomoxetine (Strattera) after a short-term studies revealed an increase risk of suicidal thinking in children and adolescents.
More recently, the FDA issued a warning this past December stating that ADHD stimulants such as Ritalin and Concerta could cause prolonged and painful erections. In few cases, the erections lasted so long they required surgery.
Other adverse events reported to the FDA include:
- Aggression

Malaysian side face uncertain future over unpaid rent
KUALA LUMPUR, May 22 (Reuters) - Cash-strapped Malaysian Super League strugglers Sarawak face an uncertain future after they were almost banned from using their own stadium because of unpaid rent.
Sarawak, bottom of the 13-team league, owe millions of ringgit in back rent to the board of the Sarawak Stadium in Kuching, according to The Star newspaper.
Players were only allowed to train at the stadium on Monday after paying the 100-ringgit ($30) daily fee.
The team were hit by another blow when they lost chief coach Pengiran Bala, a health department official who was recalled by the regional city council.
Sarawak have only seven points from 18 Super League matches and are favourites to be relegated at the end of the season.
Only one team will drop down this year while two teams from the Premier League will be promoted, boosting next season's Super League to 14 teams.
