Oilfield services company to close
Schlumberger leaving its GJ lot
Oilfield service company Schlumberger is closing its local office, two employees confirmed as they were leaving the lot Friday.
The employees, who declined to give their names, said the closure could take as long as six months and that local employees will be transferred to other Schlumberger offices.
The employees said they and co-workers they had talked to were choosing to remain upbeat because closures and transfers are part of the business. Work had been slow at the 783 22 Road office, and they had noticed other local companies in the industry were shutting their doors or scaling back work.
The employees were sad to leave Grand Junction but were looking forward to the next venture, they said.
Schlumberger has been scaling back local completion activity since 2009. And even as oil and gas companies make adjustments in global strategies that have impacts locally, there are still more than 10,000 active producing wells in Garfield County alone. The region counts one of the largest gas plants in the Rockies region, and sizable pipeline capacity still exists in the area.
Speaking broadly about the local oil and gas industry, David Ludlam, the executive director of the Western Slope chapter of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association, projected a positive outlook in light of the Schlumberger news to gradually shut local operations.
"Grand Junction, from our perspective — despite short-term challenges and despite service companies leaving the valley — is going to continue to be the oil and gas service hub for the Piceance Basin now and in the future," Ludlam said. "When you look at what Encana and WPX are doing relative to the Mancos shale, we have more gas here now that we couldn't even fathom five years ago. That gas is just waiting for a market."
"We think that the short-term challenges like this — with completion companies going elsewhere — are going to be vastly offset by the long-term potential that our basin has," Ludlam said.
Schlumberger, he noted, is not a member of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association.
The last time Schlumberger made major adjustments to their local operations was in 2012, when the company transferred dozens of its Grand Junction employees to productive wells in North Dakota. Close to 70 workers were transferred then, leaving about 60 employees in the local office at that time, it was reported.
Ludlam said he thought that when the price of natural gas again rises to previous profitable levels, service companies would be back in the local fold.
"As service companies come and go, we are going to continue to fight to make sure that this is an environment where businesses can produce energy cost-effectively," Ludlam said.

Tennessee Titans Sign Michael Griffin to Long-Term DealJune 19, 2012
The Tennessee Titans announced the signing of safety Michael Griffin to a long-term contract today, according to the Associated Press (via the Washington Post).
General Manager Ruston Webster said in a statement (h/t Nate Davis of USA Today):
The goal is to keep a core of talented young players together and let them grow and Griff fits in that group. He showed a great deal of professionalism in how he dealt with this situation and he is invested in making this team better.
Griffin was the Titans' first-round pick in the 2007 NFL draft out of the University of Texas. He signed a franchise tender with the team back in March.
As stated by Webster, Griffin is a big part of the Titans' young core of players. He is a leader on the defensive side of the ball. This move will have a positive affect on all interested parties.
This is just another example of a player going about his business the right way and being rewarded for it.
Congratulations to Michael for his new contract! I know fans in Nashville are excited that the Titans have locked him up the way he locks down on opposing receivers.
*UPDATE: NFL sources and CBS Sports are reporting the contract at five years, $35 million with $15 million guaranteed.

The odometer still rolled so apparently they only put 1/2 mile on it. On top of that the viper gps system they installed is completely non functional so i'll be having it removed anyway. It sounded great having iphone monitoring of the car but it's either complete garbage or the installer screwed up. Made police report and calling corporate for the joyride part.

Worth County Jailer behind bars
Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:46:51 GMT —
A Sylvester City Council Member and Jailer are seeing a different side of the judicial system Tuesday, after they were arrested for stealing an inmate's personal information.
Authorities with Worth County are saying Sylvester City Councilmen Larry Johnson, and Worth County jailer, Martisha Williams, were arrested Monday afternoon. Williams was charged on three counts of financial transaction card fraud, one count of identity fraud, and two counts of forgery, second degree. Councilmen Johnson was also charged with three counts of financial transaction card fraud.
Williams and Johnson had been using a former inmate's identity to open credit card accounts, and even file taxes in her name. When the inmate was released, she went to file her own taxes, only to be informed that taxes were already filed. The unnamed inmate then reported the incident to authorities, leading to a year long investigation which ended Monday.
Williams posted a $3,000 bond Monday night, and Johnson posted a $15,000 bond Tuesday morning.

Golden Triangle Mall recently added the first three restaurants of its new food court lineup.
Italia Express, Smoothies Paradise and Tobu Oriental Eatery are three of the six food court options the mall will offer when renovations are complete in September, mall manager Matt Ludemann said.
Italia Express will offer brick oven pizza, sandwiches and Italian dishes. Tobu Oriental Eatery will offer food from a hibachi grill, sushi and Asian bowls. Smoothies Paradise will offer smoothies, ice cream and drinks.
"The ultimate synergy will happen when you have multiple options," Ludemann said.
And that's the mall's goal. In addition to the three that already are on board, the mall would like to have a salad restaurant and a sandwich shop, Ludemann said.
Demolition has begun on the west side of the 765,000-square-foot mall, adjacent to Sears, where the food court will be located. Part of that work will include remodeling the west entrance, he said.
There will be new roofing on the entrance, and the mall is having the parking lots redone.
"The food court won't open until September," Ludemann said, adding that it will be done in time for Christmas shopping.
As part of the renovation process, the Loop 288 entrance to the mall parking lot will be closed from Feb. 25 to March 25. The mall is adding a third lane for outbound traffic to improve flow so vehicles don't get backed up near Starbucks, he said.
The parking lots are being redone by Denton-based Jagoe-Public Co., which put in the original parking lot, Ludemann said.
Today, the mall will be adding a baby grand piano to its center court. The player piano is open to anyone who wants to come in and perform, he said.
"We're moving forward," he said. "Everything is going smooth."

We love Earth Day because it inspires us to make green resolutions that we can keep year-round. To celebrate, we're taking a look at our daily routines and making small changes that we can stick to. Here are five ways you can go eco, without sacrificing your style:
1. Shop smarter
You're going to buy beauty products anyway, so why not put a portion of that budget towards environmentally responsible brands? Start by reading product labels carefully. We've detailed eight of the most common eco-friendly seals and what they mean so you aren't flying blind.
2. It's in the bag(gu)
Not so fun fact? Americans use an estimated 102 billion plastic shopping bags each year—or more than 500 per consumer. Rather than adding to this astronomical sum, snag one of BAGGU's handy, reusable totes. They fold up to fit in your pocket, come in snazzy colors and will last for years.
3. One girl's trash is another gal's DIY project
Rather than tossing empty Birchboxes into the recyle bin, use it to stash keepsakes or display your ring collection. Get crafty with these fun and surprisingly easy DIY projects. (You'll be happy to know that Birchboxes are 100 percent recyclable and made with sustainably sourced materials.)
4. Don't (plastic) bottle it all up
Like a bridge over troubled water, KOR's sleek, reusable Aura Water Bottle will rescue you from thirst and—just as important— that mountain of plastic bottles growing on your desk.
5. Walk the walk
Now that the polar vortex has finally dissipated, walk or bike to work. Aside from saving money on gas and reducing your carbon footprint, it's a great and easy way to squeeze in a daily sweat sesh. If your commute is a little too far to test this out, arrange a carpool with your coworkers.

LAS VEGAS — Down two points with time running out, San Jose State's Adrian Oliver was set up to be the hero again.
In the first game of the tournament, Oliver hit a contested jumper with just seconds left on the clock to beat Hawaii. Against Utah State, Oliver's was not so fortunate and his 3-pointer attempt caught the iron and rolled out. The miss allowed Utah State to survive with a 58-54 win and advance to the WAC Championship game for the third straight year and fifth time in six years of being in the WAC.
"I had flashbacks of two nights ago, when I did make it," Oliver said. "I was happy to be in that position again. When I got the ball on the rebound I was smiling because I had a feeling that something special was going to happen.
The ball just went out. You make some, you miss some; tonight I just missed it."
Oliver, the nation's third leading scorer, was held to just 16 points on 6-for-19 shooting, due in large part to the defense of the unsung hero of this year's Aggie team, Tyler Newbold.
"We have two premier defenders," Morrill said. "Tyler Newbold is a first-team All-WAC defensive player and he had (Oliver) for a large part of the game. Pooh Williams was first-team All-WAC last year. Those guys did a solid job on him."
The win was a relief for the thousands of Utah State fans who made the trip down from Logan, but there were no smiles on the court from the Utah State players.
"We are happy we got out with a win, but let's not beat around the bush — we are here to win the whole thing," Tai Wesley said. "That's why we're here.
We are happy about this, but we are here to win the whole thing and put ourselves in a position to make some noise in the NCAA tournament. San Jose (State) is a good team, but we are here for one thing."
Morrill thinks the team will play better tomorrow after perhaps feeling a little bit of the pressure of being the top dog against San Jose State.
"There is obviously a lot of pressure on us to win this game," Morrill said.
"It was a sigh of relief to get it done. I think we will relax and play a lot better tomorrow hopefully. Credit San Jose (State) because they were a big reason we struggled offensively."
The Aggies will play the winner of the Boise State-New Mexico State winner in the WAC title game tonight, with a ticket to the NCAA tournament on the line.
"We've been to the championship game lots of times and it's nice to be back," Morrill said. "It's a credit to our players that we are back in the championship game. … We just need to get some rest, coaches need to get in the film room and away we go."
National pundits have Utah State safely in the tournament, but should the Aggies lose today, they could find themselves sweating out life on the bubble again. If it were up to San Jose State coach George Nessman, Utah State would be in the tournament win or lose tomorrow.
"I don't care what all the bracketoligists say," Nessman said. "If they aren't in the tournament now, then the whole thing is rigged and it's all a big mess."

An informed source on the Hill spells out exactly what it will take to get DADT repealed in these final weeks of the Democratically-controlled Congress. They argue that Reid saying he will bring up the defense bill with DADT included is a good first step, but it's not enough:
This is a good, real step. But I have no evidence that any muscle will be behind it. I will need to see Reid pushing, mobilizing, leading. He will need to keep votes like Ben Nelson and get votes like Webb and Pryor and Manchin. I have no confidence that any Republican Senator will join us — without Secretary Gates calling them. We lost Burris and perhaps don't have Manchin, Nelson, Pryor, and Webb. So we need at least five or six Rs to be safe. Impossible to do without Gates — all hinges on Gates and Obama personally lobbying — or without Reid leading Dems on the Floor in a public shaming.
For those who, in the past, thought that it was enough for the President, or a member of Congress, to simply state publicly that they desired a certain policy outcome, this is what a President, or Senate Majority Leader, does when they ACTUALLY want to win something. They don't just put out a statement. They actually work it, hard, behind the scenes (in addition to publicly), with lots of personal lobbying.

The talented Pantaloons Theatre Company are touring the country this summer with their own inimitable take on the History of Britain – and this hilarious show is coming to Woburn Abbey on Friday, July 4.
With mud, blood and stiff upper lips, The Pantaloons' History of Britain presents our country's past as you've never seen it before.
Join a breathless race through the centuries in this delightfully inventive open-air show that tells the story of Britain in under two hours.
Harold II and William the Conqueror don't see eye to eye. Henry VIII decides five marriages just isn't enough and Queen Victoria is most certainly not amused!
This historically hysterical show is packed with songs, sketches and silliness and is suitable for all ages.
The Pantaloons began life ten years ago as an open-air theatre company, busking plays for donations in parks and on the streets, where they developed an interactive and playful performance style.
In true Pantaloons tradition the show will include plenty of original live music, puppetry, audience participation and improvisation.
Mark Hayward, a founding member, said: "We characterise our work as post-modern folk theatre. We take well-loved tales – in this case stories from history – and give them a contemporary twist, making them accessible for new audiences and showing seasoned fans something that they perhaps had not seen in them before."
As an outdoor show, the audience is welcome to take a picnic. Call 01525 290 333 or visit www.thepantaloons.co.uk

Kyocera Solar Inc., a leading supplier of reliable solar modules and renewable energy solutions, announced today that its photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are powering the new 90-kilowatt canopy that charges electric vehicles (EVs) at the world-famous San Diego Zoo. The Solar-to-EV project , in partnership with Smart City San Diego, is run by San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and is a part of the Zoo's commitment to environmental sustainability. All Kyocera solar panels used in this project were manufactured in the U.S.A. at the company's San Diego facility. The Solar-to-EV project is among the first of its kind. Its Kyocera solar panels harness the sun's energy to charge EVs in the Zoo's parking lot and provide renewable energy to the electrical grid, while its high-tech battery system stores solar power for future use. Ten solar canopies, designed and installed by Vista-based Independent Energy Solutions (IES), produce 90 kilowatts (kW) of peak generating capacity – enough to power 59 homes – as well as five EV charging stations, including one in a nearby ADA-accessible parking space. Using new lithium-polymer battery technology, its 100-kW energy storage system is charged by the solar canopies to offset demand on the electrical grid and recharge EVs after sunset. When the battery is full, excess energy generated from sunlight is put into the grid to improve reliability and benefit the surrounding community. The solar canopies also provide shade to approximately 50 cars in the Zoo's southeast parking area. "Kyocera is celebrating 41 years in San Diego, and 37 years as a leader in solar energy solutions," said Steve Hill, president of Kyocera Solar, Inc. "We're proud to work with other San Diego companies that are equally committed to making sustainable energy a reality, especially at one of the most well-known landmarks in the country."

Passionate leadership
What is passion?
Passion is essentially what drives people to achieve outstanding results. It may take any form and does not necessarily have to be tied up to one's work life; it may for example be a natural commitment to helping people or to promote new ideas. Passion is the feeling and the action of putting something extra into a cause and not giving up on it. Passion may exist for almost anything – the key is articulating what that thing is.
Can you give examples of passionate leaders?
One example is Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group. His passion is for accomplishing new things, challenging systems and stretching current realities through having fun. There is a natural desire within him that tells him to continuously challenge, improve and question things. As a result, he has redefined the boundaries of numerous branches and business areas to include ever more creative solutions and ideas.
Another example is Steven Jobs, co-founder of Apple. He is particularly passionate about technology, design and innovation. I think it is especially interesting to see how it comes very natural to him to be enthusiastic about the products and the company and how people around him get inspired by his authentic and truly deep-felt commitment.
What characterises the passionate leader?
S/He is almost like a child in terms of his/her enthusiasm. He is enthusiastic, authentic and a true believer in his abilities to move the world - and most of all, he is extremely self-confident in his area of passion.
His main challenge is therefore often to gain a higher degree of self-awareness and self-reflection, so that he can balance inner drives with external factors and create a win-win situation for himself and the people, who work around him and for him.
His passion can sometimes create only short-term success. This is evident in entrepreneurs as they face the challenge of letting go of passions and allowing other people in their organisation to take responsibility for growth in the business. In many cases, entrepreneurs begin to lose interest in the business of growth, as this may not be their passion. It is essential that entrepreneurs address the issue of transferring the passion into long-term ambitions; ambitions that can be made available also for other people within the organisation.
I n this connection, t he good thing about passion is that it is contagious. Leaders who emanate passion are much more likely to be a source of inspiration for other organisational members. An important question in this connection is: how do leaders best communicate and express their passion to others? I find it is clearly through the actions and the behaviour of the leader that people become inspired. It is not what they say as much as what they do that leads others to follow their example.
For this reason, passionate leaders become also especially important in situations of organisational crisis or change, as they can help lead the way and advocate for a different future.
You are a leader yourself. What do you do to be passionate?
I would like to think of myself as a passionate leader, yes. My passions lie especially within sports and the various initiatives in BMC Global Services, where we aim to pass on the torch of creative leadership to others. My passion is to see people and organisations fulfil, and grow, potential. I am also passionate about embracing the person as a whole and utilising their uniqueness to deliver outstanding outcomes.
Can anybody become a passionate leader or is it something you are born with?
We all have passions inside us, and therefore we also all have got the potential to unlock our passions. We can find our passion by looking inwards and reflecting on what drives our actions and goals. What is it that you are truly passionate or enthusiastic about? What gets you excited and emotional? You then turn your passion outwards and explore the potential for matching it with your surroundings. How can you realise your commitment and make it central to your life? You try to create links with your passions and the broader objectives of your working environment.
Can you describe some of the techniques you use for training leaders to be passionate?
There are a number of different techniques that can be used to help people unlock their passions:
First of all, I ask them to engage in self-reflection to come closer to what they dream about. It involves training in holistic thinking rather than means-end thinking, where you are focused on only one step at a time. Once you start to think holistically, you consider how whole developments are going to strategically improve things over longer terms. Every passion is subjective, so training will involve going to the bottom of people's spirituality and culture to reveal their personal values and beliefs.
Second of all, I show them the minds of athletes and winning teams to illustrate how we, as human beings, create successes and a mindset, which is outcome-based. Here, it becomes interesting to take a neuroscience perspective on what gets us excited or depressed and what causes us pain or pleasure and how we can work on balancing out these feelings. In leadership and organisational terms unlocking passion is only relevant if we can deliver outstanding outcomes. Otherwise, it is purely an emotion.
Thirdly, it is necessary to look into interpersonal relationships and how people interact with each other to get an understanding of the passionate leaders' relation to his environment, and how he can engage with his audience to maximise the effectiveness of this passion.
And fourthly, we take a look at some of the forms of communication and presentation techniques that the passionate leader has at his disposal, when the purpose is to arouse also other people's interest on the subject. Especially storytelling techniques prove useful as channels for the personal story of passion.
As you can imagine, the Master in leadership is very much a self-development program. By unlocking people's passions, we essentially empower them to take control over their lives and destinies. Many will find that they need to take a different course in life to be true to their newly found passions. They will most likely return to their job with a new view and a richer perspective on their function in the company. Thus, increasing their value to the organisation at whatever level.
How does passion help increase organisational performance?
The obsession with optimising financial turnover is a trap which hinders many organisations from focusing on their real asset: people. Think about how many people go to work everyday without being true to their passion, and thus restricting their value add to the business. If you can turn these people into passionate organisational members, I believe the total outcome will be much bigger than the organisation could ever imagine.
The Master in leadership will contain experiential learning methods such as combat sports, cooking, acting and Yoga. What is the point of this?
The point is to activate people in a process of thinking and doing. The underlying philosophy of the programme is this: a good coach will provide the student with the tools to develop themselves and thus be able to take control of their own destiny, in their chosen fields.
How do you predict the field and the interest for Passionate Leadership will develop in the future?
I believe we will see more and more examples of leaders, who work strategically and purposely with the five elements of leadership intelligence that underpins Passionate Leadership thinking:
- Spiritual intelligence, which refers to unlocking personal beliefs and values.
- Emotional intelligence, which is how you cope with and respond emotionally to various phenomena and situations at a personal level.
- Social intelligence, which is how you deal with other people and behave in a social setting with other people.
- Physical intelligence, which refers to your energy levels which are essential to deliver change.

Use Google Drive to Keep Your Online Class Schedule Up-to-Date
Early last year I wrote about using Scholarpress Courseware + WordPress to manage class websites. While I'm still a big fan of WordPress Multisite for my class websites, I have in recent semesters moved away from using Courseware. For one, Courseware hasn't been updated in awhile, and doesn't seem to work as smoothly with recent versions of WordPress. More practically, however, I found myself getting frustrated when making changes to a class schedule in Courseware.
In a perfect semester, the schedule for a course laid out in the weeks and months before would see instructor and students through to its end. As we all know, however, accidents and other detours nearly always require us to move material around, re-adjust due dates, and otherwise change the plan for a semester. Because of how Courseware segmented each day into a separate box, I found the process for making these sorts of changes more laborious than necessary.
This semester, then, I've turned to Google Drive, adapting Jason Mittell's process for using Google Docs to publish his CV to the web to instead publish a live, easily-updatable course schedule to my course websites (you can see an example on my "Deep Maps" class site). Just as Jason describes, I use Google Drive's settings to publish the course schedule document as a website, and then I use the provided embed code on the WordPress "Schedule" page. Voila! Whenever I update the doc—which I can do with quick, easy cutting and pasting—the schedule on the course website updates immediately. As an added bonus, the Google Drive document is easily printed for students who prefer keeping a hard copy.
Have you adjusted the way you keep your class schedules updated on course websites? Do you use Google Docs or WordPress for this purpose? Tell us about it in the comments.

(Updates from 12:17 p.m. ET with closing information.)NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Barnes & Noble ( BKS ) shares plunged 15.72% to $14.05 following the Tuesday release of disappointing second quarter results. The book retailer reported losses of 86 cents per share, better than the 89 cents per share predicted by analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. Revenues were $1.33 billion, an 8.5% decrease year-over-year that was just ahead of estimates of $1.32 billion. Although they beat those consensus estimates, the company's other results were discouraging, with retail sales down 9.9% from the same quarter last year and Nook sales down 20.2%. Following the results, Barnes & Noble founder and chairman Leonard Riggio disclosed that he was dropping his bid to buy the company's retail stores. First announced in February, that move was intended to bolster the Nook unit and help with an eventual sale or spinoff. "While I reserve the right to pursue an offer in the future, I believe it is in the company's best interests to focus on the business at hand," Riggio said in the SEC filing. "Right now our priority should be to serve the more than 10 million customers who own Nook devices, to concentrate on building our Retail business, and to accelerate the sale of Nook products in our stores, and in the marketplace." Despite these developments, Michael P. Huseby, the president of Barnes & Noble and CEO of Nook Media expressed confidence in the Nook's future, saying in a statement, "At least one new Nook device will be released for the coming holiday season and further products are in development."
Best Buy ( BBY ) shares spiked 10.25% to $33.88 after releasing strong second quarter results. The struggling online retailer beat expectations, reporting non-GAAP earnings of 32 cents a share on $9.3 billion in sales. Analysts were expecting 12 cents a share on sales of $9.13 billion. Growth was strongest in the mobile and appliances departments and weakest in gaming and digital imaging. In addition, the company has continued to cut costs, eliminating $65 million in annual costs during this quarter and reducing costs by $390 million through its Renew Blue revival blueprint. "While we are clear that there's much more work ahead, we have made measurable progress since we unveiled Renew Blue last year, including near-flat comparable store sales, substantial cost take outs, and better than expected earnings in the past three consecutive quarters," President and CEO Hubert Joly said in the earnings call. He enumerated six additional goals: accelerating online growth, accelerating multichannel customer experience, increasing revenue and gross profit per square foot, reducing the cost of goods sold for supply chain efficiencies, improving its US real estate portfolio, and further reducing selling, general, and administrative expenses.

The waiting is the hardest part
Have you ever noticed how often the authors of Scripture exhorted their readers toward patience?
Here are a few examples:
Love is patient… (1 Corinthians 13:4 ESV)
I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love… (Ephesians 4:1-2 ESV)
Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. (Colossians 3:12-13 ESV)
And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. (1 Thessalonians 5:14 ESV)
When we think of patience, we often think of waiting out trials or sufferings. And, there are passages of Scripture that encourage us toward that type of patience and perseverance.
However, the passages above have something in common: they all relate to being patient with one another.
Which do you think is easier: 1) being patient for God to work in the middle of difficult circumstances, or 2) being patient for God to work in the lives of the people around you?

You need to repent. NOW! 🙂
I think #1 is easier because we perceive that manipulating other people is easier than manipulating God. Dealing with other people is immediate. We can see their reactions on the spot. We can always "force" other people into our way of thinking, but we can't do that with God. You can't hold a gun to God's head.
Where did you hear that Tom Petty song?
I like Tertullian's definition: "Hope is patience with a lamp lit".
Patience and hope are inseparable.
Definitely #2. I find that I can trust God's timing when my own circumstances a lot easier than I can when it's other people he is working in. That's when I want him to hurry up.

Influenza virus activity in the world
15 March 2013
Source: Laboratory confirmed data from the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS).
Based on FluNet reporting (as of 12 March 2013, 10:45 UTC), during weeks 8 to 9 (17 February 2013 to 2 March 2013), National Influenza Centres (NICs) and other national influenza laboratories from 101 countries, areas or territories reported data.
The WHO GISRS laboratories tested more than 79 430 specimens. 20 386 were positive for influenza viruses, of which 12 859 (63.1%) were typed as influenza A and 7 527 (36.9%) as influenza B.
Of the sub-typed influenza A viruses, 5 355 (62.1%) were influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and 3 264 (37.9%) were influenza A(H3N2).
Of the characterized B viruses, 432 (89.8%) belonged to the B-Yamagata lineage and 49 (10.2%) to the B-Victoria lineage.
During weeks 8 and 9, influenza activity declined in the northern hemisphere and remained low in the southern hemisphere. Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses remained the predominant virus circulating globally, followed by A(H3N2) and influenza B viruses.
In the European region, influenza activity continued to decline.
While influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and B viruses co-circulated in many parts of Europe, A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses were predominant in eastern and south western Europe.
Five A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses with reduced susceptibility to oseltamivir were detected in the Netherlands, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
Of the five, three cases reported history of oseltamivir treatment.
One influenza B virus with reduced susceptibility to oseltamivir was detected from a case in the United Kingdom with no exposure to antiviral treatment.
In North America, influenza activity decreased in general with B viruses becoming predominant.
In Asia, in southern China influenza activity associated with A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses continued to increase, while it decreased in the northern parts. A(H3N2) activity was reported from a number of other countries in the region at varying levels.
Sporadic detections of influenza viruses continued to be reported from the African region. Influenza B was the predominant virus detected, followed by A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H3N2) viruses.
Influenza activity remained low in Central and South America with A(H3N2) and influenza B viruses detected at low levels.

A red panda (think raccoon) recently gave birth to two little cubs at a Chinese zoo. But while the crowd watched, it became clear to zoo staff that mama wasn't all that interested in being a mom. They managed to find a Chihuahua--a new mom herself--who was willing to nurse them [3]. (Follow the link to see a photo of the surrogate dog.) Strangely, the Chihuahua has now rejected her own baby and the staff are hand feeding the pup. This situation practically begs the question: Why can't we leave nature alone? I mean, isn't it a little weird that we are intervening in what should be a natural process for two species, and yet, our "help" has caused both moms to reject their own babies?

Bentleyville teen helps restore Union Cemetery
Published: Saturday, June 12, 2010, 6:27 AM
By Angela Gartner, Sun News
Shaker Heights founder Ralph Russell is one of the few buried at Union Cemetery.
BENTLEYVILLE Resident Mitchell Black, 17, helped restore the historic Union Cemetery, where former resident Ralph Russell, one of the founders of Shaker Heights, is buried. Bentleyville held a ceremony and presentation of the site's history Sunday to celebrate the restoration and cleaning efforts.
For the past year, Black led the way to restore the historic site for an Eagle Scout project. The Boy Scout needed a leadership project to achieve eagle rank. Black proposed a restoration plan of Union Cemetery in Bentleyville. In July 2009, with approval of council, he began making improvements to the site.
According to a Park, Facilities and Beautification committee report, Black planned to clear the weeds, plant grass, fill in ditches and add stone as needed at the cemetery. In addition, he planned to install a stone bench and create a sign with historical information.
The Union Cemetery was created in 1859 by Russell and his family on one-third acre of land off Liberty Road. Russell and his significance is not commonly known. A farmer and veteran of the War of 1812, Russell was a pioneer who, after his father died in 1821, discovered the Shakers and went to Lebanon, Ohio, to learn more about the religion. When arriving home to what was Warrensville Township, he spoke to some of his relatives and neighbors about the Shakers and their way of life.
"His family members and neighbors then converted to Shakerism with Russell persuasions. They donated 1,393 acres of land and established a new Shaker community, North Union Village, which is now known as Shaker Heights," said Cathie Winans, former executive director of the Shaker Historical Society.
Russell and his family later left Union Village and settled on a farm on Liberty Road in what is now Bentleyville. "He was also at one time the trustee of Chagrin Falls and Solon Township," Winans said.
Russell and other family members set up a family graveyard on the property. The Russells formed The Union Cemetery Association, which eventually welcomed neighbors to buy burial plots for family members.
"21 Russells are buried in the Union Cemetery, along with some neighbors," Winans said.
Those buried in the cemetery are Ralph Russell, his wife Laura, their 6-year-old daughter and his son Ralph Elsworth Russell, who was the first one buried in the cemetery at age 32. Neighbors Orlin Kennedy and his wife along with the 1½ year old son of Henry Martin were also buried at the site. According to Shaker Historical Society records, the child's death was from an accidental taking of fly poison, prepared in liquid form and left standing within reach.
However, not all the graves are marked, because there is no cemetery map available to know where people were buried, according to Winans.
Mitchell Black worked with the Cleveland Clinic to create this sign detailing the history and significance of Union Cemetery.
The markers at the site needed to be replaced. New grave markers from Sheffield Monuments were donated by the Shaker Historical Society, according to village park reports.
Black, who has been working on the cemetery project with the help of Cleveland Clinic, created a sign that has a map of the known graves and history of the site. Bentleyville and other organizations also donated resources to the project. "The community's generosity and others who gave resources, helped this project be a success," Black said.
Black completed his work on the site and he said he learned about himself, communication skills, and the Russell family during the project.
"To finally finish feels really good, it is fulfilling to see your work come together," Black said. "My favorite part of the whole project, was to get know the Russells and their perspective of Bentleyville, because what they saw is so different from what we see today."

Crowns, Bridges, Dentures, Implants
Best adhesive for 2 (3) unit bridge.
Dr. I have a 3 unit bridge, but the attachment to the front canine anchor tooth is by a "key" groove in the top/side of the gold cap that matches a key (on middle false tooth) that fits down into this groove.
The other, rear anchor tooth is a "dressed" square stub of a root canaled molar. When this system was fitted it was very loose. In fact it fell out easily. I was concerned because with other anchored bridges I have had the fit of the crown over the anchor teeth was extremely tight, requiring effort to remove during the fitting process.
This keyed system has proved to be a problem, coming loose at the rear glued anchor tooth a number of times within weeks. Finally, I had a different Dentist in the same office re-glue it. This lasted over a year. This is my only chewing surface, so a year is acceptable. However, this time I would like to be sure the best adhesive for my bridge is being used. The cap and false tooth material is gold. The anchor tooth is full width, but very low; not a great amount to glue to.
I would greatly appreciate your opinion as to what brand and type adhesive would be best for my situation.
Thanks very much for your help.
It sounds like the problem is not the adhesive, but the lack of tooth structure left on which to glue your bridge. There is overwhelming evidence that the lack of retention due to a short tooth cannot be overcome reliably with any known cement. I recommend further investigation into ways to either improve the anchor tooth or revisit the bridge design entirely.

Johannesburg - President Jacob Zuma accepted that Public Protector Thuli Madonsela's findings on Nkandla were binding on him, the president's lawyer on Tuesday told the Constitutional Court.
Zuma therefore conceded that he needed to reimburse the taxpayer for a portion of the upgrades to his private homestead, Jeremy Gauntlett told the court after lawyers for the Economic Freedom Fighters and Democratic Alliance had argued that he had flagrantly breached the law in evading payment.
Read: #Nkandla case: 'Zuma looted the State'
"We say we accept that the president is required to carry out remedial action. The Public Protector's report has to be complied with," he told the court.
Gauntlett added that Zuma placed no reliance whatsoever on Police Minister Nathi Nhleko's controversial parallel report on Nkandla that found that he did not owe the state a cent for luxuries added to his house, notably a swimming pool and cattle kraal.
That report was driven through Parliament by the ANC majority. Gauntlett said it was irrelevant and Zuma now had to comply with Madonsela, he said.
Read: #Nkandla case: 'Zuma erred in law'
Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng asked what part of the EFF and DA's arguments the president did not agree with then, given these concessions. Gauntlett replied that there was a recurring "flirtation" in arguments by the two opposition parties as well as the submissions by Madonsela's lawyer, that in fact the benefits that accrued to the president went well beyond the five items Madonsela flagged as non-security items.
Read: #Nkandla case: 'One family benefited from R240m'
This list of five, which included the swimming pool and kraal, were the only items for which Madonsela had sought to hold the president liable in her report "Secure in Comfort", Guantlett said.

I love running, I truly do. I don't think there is a better feeling than lacing up your shoes and heading outside to listen to the birds sing as the stress slowly leaves my tense body with each step.
Active people are happy people
"Once you are a runner, it's always there in the back of your head." – Bill Rodgers
I love running, I truly do. I don't think there is a better feeling than lacing up your shoes and heading outside to listen to the birds sing as the stress slowly leaves my tense body with each step.
But let's face it, some day's are a little tougher than others to get your butt off the couch and out the door. Sure I know how much better I will feel a few miles into my run, but even that sometimes is not enough. Last week, while in Kingston I really struggled. It was tough, each morning I tried to leave the house as my parents, my girls, my brother and his family all stared at with me disbelief that I was even contemplating going for a run, after all I was told, it's Christmas, it's time for the family. So, I'd take off my toque and gloves sit down at the table and have a piece of coffee cake and convince myself I'd head out later.
And, the sad part is for those first couple days it never happened. Did I feel guilty about not running? Darn right I did. As I drove around Kingston it seemed like every runner was out running and they were actually smiling. Yep, it bugged me that I blew off a run, but figured it was just one day, then two days. You get the picture. And it's funny because I couldn't stop thinking about when I'd finally get out for a run, it started to consume my thoughts.
And, that's what I love about marathon great Bill Rodgers quote at the top of this column. Anyone who exercises on a daily basis will truly understand this quote. When you walk, run or go to the gym, it becomes a very big part of your life. In fact when you are forced to miss a day or delay it, you can't stop thinking about it and feeling really guilty about it. And, I believe that's a good thing.
Since I've started writing this column, I have met so many wonderful, happy people. And, the interesting thing is they all have one big thing in common — they are active on a regular basis. From the seniors who skate twice a week, to Nicole Daignault, who teaches yoga to girls with Down syndrome, they all incredibly active. And, guess what? They are all very happy people.
Exercising makes you feel good about yourself, it allows you to hold your head up high with confidence, it puts an extra bounce in your step and most importantly, it allows you to grin ear to ear because you know you are doing something wonderful for your body. Most importantly you are also adding years to your life.
And, that my friends is the whole point of the 30 for 30 challenge which kicks off on Jan. 1. By the end of January you should be set in a routine so that when you miss a day, you should feel like something is missing, like your day isn't complete. So get your coworkers, your friends and your family on board for this life changing challenge.

Mozilla Puts Mobile Firefox on the Front Burner
Firefox had a cold start , but is ambitious now
Mozilla is expanding development of Firefox for Android with new efforts to improve its performance, lower its power consumption, adapt it for tablets--and keep the browser maker relevant in the hottest area of computing.
Mozilla Puts Mobile Firefox on the Front Burner
Firefox is the second-most widely used browser on computers, but things are different in the mobile arena. There, Firefox is at a serious disadvantage compared to mobile browsers such as Apple's Safari and Google's unbranded Android browser that are built into the operating systems.
Mozilla, by comparison, must convince people or phone makers to install Firefox, and even then restrictions keep it off several mobile operating systems. But Mozilla clearly has recognized that mobile computing is rapidly expanding beyond the niche of technophiles and wealthy folks who want a high-status phone. Firefox won't have an easy time carving a place for itself on new mobile devices, but Mozilla is doing its darndest to build a browser that will attract users.

Douglas WVEB Short Scale Violin Bass Black at RondoMusic.com This bass recently caught my eye, primarily because it's much cheaper than the Squier Vintage Modified Precision in my local music shop, and as a beginner, money's a premium for me. Also, the violin "look" has always appealed to me. Is this a good bass for the money? It seems pretty good compared to the Squier Precision, but hey, I'm not an expert. I know from an old thread that I should get replacement strings. What kind should I get? Preferably ones that aren't too rare or expensive, as again, money's a slight issue. Finally, I've read about "setup" for a bass. What will I need to do upon getting it to get it into a good condition for practice?

"Go hard." Those two words came back to bite ACT Brumbies No.8 Fotu Auelua in this year's Super Rugby semi-final as NSW Waratahs giant lock Will Skelton did exactly that when he came off the bench to set up a crucial try for the Tahs.
Canberra Vikings captain Auelua joked he would not make the same mistake again when he faces Skelton and his National Rugby Championship team, the Sydney Stars, at Leichhardt Oval on Saturday.
The pair's mothers are cousins, making Auelua and Skelton second cousins.
As they both came off the bench and ran onto ANZ Stadium earlier this year, Auelua said those fateful two words, in Samoan.
Soon Skelton embarked on a powerful run, breaking two or three tackles before off-loading for Bernard Foley, who scored the match-sealing try.
It was no coincidence Auelua was sent out at the same time as Skelton. The Brumbies hopied his 115 kilograms could help stop the 203-centimetre, 140kg man mountain.
Auelua said Skelton was more than just a ball carrier. He had good sleight of hand as well.
"[Skelton is] a game breaker," Akuelua said. "It's not going to be easy, but you're always up for the challenge.
"Big [208cm and 130kg lock] Rory Arnold is on the bench, so it'll be interesting to see those two go at each other.
"[Skelton is] a big lad, you just look at him and he makes you feel like a midget."
The Vikings have named five new faces for the game against the winless Stars.
Arnold, prop Joel Penders, scrumhalf Joe Powell, outside back Drew Southwell and Australian Sevens winger Lausi'i Taliauli are all in the 23. Wallabies Christian Leali'ifano and Joe Tomane were unavailable.
Openside flanker Sean Doyle comes into the starting side in place of Jarrad Butler.
Doyle has joined the Brumbies on a two-year deal and said he was excited at the chance to test himself against the likes of Skelton.
He hopes to press his case for making his Super Rugby debut next year.
"I haven't got tangled up with [Skelton] yet so we'll see," Doyle said. "He's a fantastic player and he's done great things this year.
"He'll be a threat just as any of the rest of their team are.
"It's the only way to gauge where you're at is to go full-on into it, that's what I'll be aiming to do in the game 'cos there's no better way to see where you're at.
"It's not going to be as quick as next year, but it won't be far off and it will be a good stepping stone towards it."
Vikings team: 1 J.P. Smith, 2 Lala Lam, 3 Allan Ala'alatoa, 4 Tim Cree, 5 Jordan Smiler, 6 Jarrad Butler, 7 Sean Doyle, 8 Fotu Auelua, 9 Michael Dowsett, 10 Isaac Thompson, 11 Robbie Coleman, 12 Rod Iona, 13 Nigel Ah Wong, 14 Jerome Niumata, 15 Jesse Mogg. Subs: 16 Mitch Wade, 17 Joel Penders, 18 Les Makin, 19 Tom Staniforth, 20 Rory Arnold, 21 Joe Powell, 22 Drew Southwell, 23 Lausi'i Taliauli.

Yes, and I actually posted about this when it happened on Datalounge and everyone made fun of me.
A candle in my living room lit itself one morning.
I have tea lights in plain holders scattered around the house. But I have one in a very pretty red glass holder with gold designs on it that I just love. I think it's from India. I a bunch of tea lights burning one Saturday night. I blew them all out before I went to bed. The next morning I came downstairs, everything was fine. Nothing was amiss. Some time later I went back upstairs to take a shower. When I passed through the living room I noticed that the tea light in the red holder was burning. I called out to my partner to ask if he had lit it but he was just as perplexed as I was.
Now, how is that possible? Even if I had forgot to blow that one out it would have burnt itself out in a couple of hours. And it wasn't burning when I came down in the morning.
Since then every time I blow out a tea light I observe that the flame goes out fully and quickly. There's no little spark. They definitely go out. So what excuse is there that this one tea light lit itself or flamed up again?
My partner thinks it was one of his dead parents saying hello. Probably his mother, considering that she chose the prettiest candle holder.

OP, I just thought of something last night.
When I was high school age, don't remember what age, before dinner at home I was going to throwing a can or something into the recycling bin in the garage. The door to the garage was at the front of the house. The recycle bin was right outside the door so I could just open and toss. My parents were in the kitchen.
Well, I opened the door, and the garage was dark, but I heard something shuffling, as if I had just stopped someone in mid step. And I saw an outline of a person. I heard movement, but it was too dark. I slammed the door and stood there terrified. Then, the doorknob started to shake as if someone was touching it. I slammed hard on the door with my open palm about 10 times and ran away. The weirdest part is that my parents didn't even notice the banging. I don't remember what happened next, this was in the late 96 or 97. I don't know if I told my dad. Or if anybody went to check. I didn't even hear whomever or what it was leave through the outside garage door. It just...disappeared.
The house was only 10 years old, we built it. It was built in a development next to a park in a field, so there's no cemeteries. And even though I believe in ghosts, there had never been a paranormal experience in that house and to this day still nothing of the sort. I have no idea what happened. Maybe it was an attempted home invasion, I have no idea. I'd rather it be a ghost than a burglar.

At my grandmother's house (originally built in the late 1800s), every single time I went up the back stairs to the upstairs bathroom, it always felt like someone was right behind me. This happened from the time I was small even into my early 20s. When I got older, my brother and my three cousins all said they felt the same way. My mom said whenever she was alone in the house growing up, she felt like someone was watching her.
My sister-in-law then experienced it, and she is a skeptic who doesn't believe in anything paranormal. She said she was sure someone was behind her and thinking it was my brother, she turned to talk to him and no one was there. It scared the hell out of her. Something was in that house. Too many people had the same experience. What it was, I don't know. No one ever saw an apparition of any kind.
My grandmother died when I was in my mid-20s. I went back to the house one last time before it was sold. Whatever it was wasn't there anymore. I said this to my mom and she agreed, she never felt that presence again after my grandmother died.

OK I'll bite. A few times in our old house, my husband and I felt the presence of someone else. Once I was in bed doing a crossword puzzle while he was having a bath. A while later he came out and asked me, "what did you want?" Puzzled, I asked what he was talking about, as I hadn't left the bed while he was in the bath. He said he'd heard a heavy pounding on the bathroom door and told me to come in. It was odd. This was the same house where we both often "saw" someone passing by. I never felt threatened, though I felt like we were sharing our living space with someone. It was such a dump, I was delighted to move. But THAT's a story for another day.

I was in a really depressed state a few years ago, and was contemplating suicide. One morning I went to an isolated spot in the park nearby, a spot I'd normally go to just to think. Well, there was another guy there that morning. He started making conversation, and revealed that he too was there contemplating suicide. He was in a much worse psychological state than I was. We sat there and chatted for a good two hours about our lives and about our issues. We talked each other out of taking our lives. We still keep in touch.
I'm not sure I believe in god, but I can't believe that our meeting was totally random. Something, whether a god or some type of energy, some kind of force, was at play that morning. I can't explain it, but I refuse to believe that was a coincidence.

I still grieved but there was some reconciliation to the loss as well. I will say I've never had anything happen like it since.

'For The Record' Jams With Great Day
'For The Record' joined us on Great Day Friday morning to help us get ready for the weekend.
Here is the group's biography, which is posted on their Facebook page:
What is now known as For The Record started back in '05, at the end of Asa and Sean's eighth grade year. There was no name, no music, not even any practices, but there was an idea.
Then, in spring of '07, there were several practices, a bit of something approaching music, and a god-awful name that shall remain unmentioned.
Fast-forward two and a half more years, and we see what soon became For The Record. A genre change to Reggae/Ska took place, then focusing more on Ska-Punk as the winter set in. After burning through several drummers and a guitarist or two, the lineup took final shape with Ryan Clifford on drums with the addition of a horn section to be determined given previous experiences, trials, and tribulations with personnel.
So after a short hiatus/break-up/reunion we're back with a vengeance and a horn section. With Niko East on trombone, Jacob Porter on trumpet, and Samuel Rye on sax, we're in the midst of booking shows after the recording and subsequent release of our EP "Two Weeks Notice". So if you're reading this and want to book us, don't hesitate to get in touch. You can email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

What Kind of Bruising Appears After Injecting Radiesse Injections?
It is impossible to predict exactly what type of bruising, if any, will appear as a result of any injectable treatment. Even a previous treatment is not a predictor; you could have very little bruising the first time and more the second, or the other way around. Any injectable can be associated with bruising and swelling.
The most important consideration in this regard is avoidance of obvious blood vessels (which presumably everyone already does) and, in the event that bleeding is noted, immediately pausing the process to apply pressure until it has stopped, followed by cool compresses or ice for 15-20 minutes. That is the routine we typically use in my office.
In terms of which filler to use where - you'll find a wide range of recommendations. I typically suggest a neuromodulator (like Botox) at or above the eyebrows and fillers below that level. I prefer Radiesse for deeper areas (such as the malar - cheek - eminences and the nasolabial folds) and an HA for more superficial regions, such as the marionette lines and finer lines. In that regard there are preferences for Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane, with varying advantages to each.
I hope that this helps and good luck,

For Marrionette lines, around the mouth I have used Radiesse but do prfer Perlane as it flows and smoothens out better, in that area, in my opinion. Any needle based therapy can create bruising but in my mind Perlane causes far less bruising than Perlane.

Bruising from Radiesse injections
Bruising is a function of using a needle to inject fillers under the skin and is not due to the product being injected. The degree of bruising from filler injections may also be affected by injection techniques such as fan like injections, higher injection volumes, and more rapid injection times. Many dietary supplements, medications, vitamins, and herbs are associated with excess bruising from filler injections such as Radiesse. Those to avoid for at least 10 days prior to injection include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or naproxen (Aleve), aspirin, vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil), licorice, garlic, ginger, ginkgo, and other herbal supplements.

Bruising post-injection
There are many factors that come in to play when it comes to bruising with injectables. Use of blood thinners, area of injection, and amount of injection are just a few. Most bruising is short lived and will last as long as it takes your body to metabolize the bruise. I always set the expectation of possible bruising, especially with Radiesse. The long term benefits outweigh the short term bruising with the injectables. Best of luck!
What Kind of Bruising Appears After Injecting Radiesse Injections?
Anything injected around the lips can cause bruising. Most injectors will choose an HA filler over Radiesse for anything around the lips.

What Kind of Bruising Appears After Injecting Radiesse Injections
Bruising is possible with any filler, but does often happen with Radiesse because it's injected deeper. While Radiesse is a good option for around the mouth area, it is really only advised in very deep lines. If you have smaller lines around the mouth, you don't want Radiesse there as it can appear whitish on the skin's surface. Softer hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvderm, Restylane, and Expression are often used around the mouth because the material is better for that area.
I firmly disagree that silicone is ever a good option. I remove it time and again from people that have it in their faces and look deformed. Remember that you will continue to age, so putting something "permanent" in there will make it so that part doesn't change, and it can lead to you looking disfigured later on. It's also illegal to inject silicone in some states - like in Nevada.
Consult a good injector - or several - for consultations about what's best for your specific areas of concern.
Bruising After Filler Injections
Bruising is possible with any filler (injections) treatment. However, just because you head bad bruising with the last treatment doesn't mean it will happen again. There are some things we can do in and out of the office to minimize bruising, but sometimes it can't be avoided. I think Radiesse is a great temporary filler for the areas you mentioned. If you want something more permanent, silicone is a great filler as well.
