MAC Viva Glam Lipstick Reviews
Wonderful CauseThey have a nice little range of colors for more everyday looks with a few special ones that come out that are bold but it's the cause that makes these awesome and you won't feel bad about spending that $14 on another red lipstick ^_^ — 5 years, 6 months agoBitterSweet1016 | 9 reviews

Viva Glam III recently purchased the Viva Glam II shade from MAC. The texture is nice, smooth, and creamy. Stays on a while and feels nice on the lips. Doesn't transfer too much and has no smell, which is nice. — 5 years, 7 months agoRamblingMaam | 82 reviews

PerfectionI went to MAC determined to walk away with a red lipstick that would actually look good on me. I have very fair, freckled skin and red hair. Every red I've ever tried has looked ugly and orange-y. The first lipstick the salesperson suggested was VGI, and it looked great on me. It's a true red and it really lights up my blue eyes. I like the texture, but I need to exfoliate and moisturize my lips a...read morend apply lip liner before I use this product, otherwise it feathers, dries out my lips, and quickly fades. I think it's worth it for the color payoff, but make sure you have a mirror on you at all times when you wear this product!My go-to evening red lipstick is a mac viva glam (I don't have it with me right now to look @ the exact color name). I love how bright it is, how long it lasts once applied (it dries quickly and therefore does not come off easily on glasses when drinking and such). However, my lips are usually needing chapstick or lip balm daily, so I MUST put a layer of lip balm on before I use the viva glam b/c otherwise the matte viva glam lipstick just settles into dryness and looks hellish. However, this problem w/matte lipsticks is common across the board, not just with MAC products. Plus the viva glam is for a good cause (Aids).I have the Viva Glam Gaga II lipstick and lipglass that is my go to combo for a perfect nude lip. The lipstick is so highly pigmented and creamy and the lipglass is as well. Can be worn together (as I do) or seperately for a beautiful look WHILE supporting a great cause. I'm absolutely in love with Viva Glam V lipstick and Viva Glam V lipglass. They make a great combo for everyday and plus it's worth purchasing. I will soon purchase another Viva Glam V lipstick and Viva Glam VI and Viva Glam VI SE lipsticks next month to support the AIDS charity. — 6 years, 2 months agonikita_tadri | 5 reviews

VIVA GLAM VThe only lipstick I own from this collection is the viva glam v. I have pigmented lips so I have to nude my lips out first with concealer (or whatever you'd like) then apply the lipstick. Looks amazing! — 6 years, 5 months agoSpicyLatina | 17 reviews
viva glam II have the first viva glam, and it is the most perfect vintage-y red color. Completely appropriate for the daytime. Unfortunately, I hate the formula. The lasting power is great, but the matte finish dries out my lips and makes them look flakey. I still use it, but I have to put a lot of effort into keeping my lips in good condition. — 6 years, 6 months agorachel_bo | 20 reviews
Great Color!I love Viva Glam I's color! It is such a rich, red color that complements my skin. However, I find that MAC's matte lipsticks tend to dry out the lip, so a good lip balm is a must. — 6 years, 6 months agominervaspsyche | 15 reviews
Great lipstick, amazing cause!The Viva Glam lipsticks have all the benefits and quality of regular MAC lipsticks, and every cent of the purchase price goes to fund AIDS research. It doesn't get better than that! — 6 years, 8 months agoidahogirl | 98 reviews
Everything you need and MOREI am in love with my Cyndi Lauper Viva Glam lipstick from MAC. The color looks great on me and my friends, too! I saw a friend of mine wearing it in a picture she had online and I asked her what it was because I HAD to have it! I've been deployed to Iraq, so I wasn't able to go to a MAC store to purchase it but as soon as I went on R&R, saw a MAC store in Hawaii, I literally ran into the store to buy it! What I love the most is that its a shade I can wear while I am in uniform! Truly perfect! — 6 years, 9 months agoamiawake | 28 reviews

djdemon added a post in a topic Candy Painting QuestionOk thank you. I will try this again one day.
djdemon added a topic in Model Building Questions and AnswersCandy Painting QuestionI have Testors Gloss Metallic Silver Enamel & Testors Closs Custom Red Enamel. Sprayed the basecoat just fine no issues. Then I let the base coat dry for about 2 hours. I start spraying the Custom Red color and the silver is acting like it does not want to take it. There is red on the top coat but there is a bunch of spots where the paint did not go. So I sprayed a very heavy coat and it appears fine for a few minutes. I get done spraying all of the parts I want red and not most of the bigger parts have bubbled up and is just plain nasty looking. Im assuming they are compatible because they are the same brand and both enamel. Ive been orking on models for about 15 years and I have never seen this. Any body know what causes this or what I did wrong?

BWW TV Exclusive: Tony Honors Charlotte Wilcox - A Tony Awards Special Feature by Jerry Mitchell
Every year the TONY AWARDS Committee chooses special people to recognize and honor from the community, who have contributed in a significant way to life, craft and achievements, bettering The Great White Way that is Broadway. This year, they are Joe Benincasa of The Actors Fund, General Manager Charlotte Wilcox and Photographer Joan Marcus. These honors will be presented at the Tony Honors Cocktail Party, a private reception, on Monday, June 2nd at the Paramount Hotel's Diamond Horseshoe, attended by industry insiders and the press.
BroadwayWorld.com thought it would be interesting to go a little more 'in-depth' about the recipients, to help you better understand their being chosen and to look more closely into their lives, worlds and work. In addition, we wanted them to be interviewed by someone with whom they shared some sort of history. Next up in the special series is General Manager Charlotte Wilcox. We reached out to Jerry Mitchell, who has worked with Wilcox on many of his Broadway projects over the course of their careers.
Charlotte has been a leader in the industry for over 40 years. As a General Manager and as the founder of The Charlotte Wilcox Company, she has given her guidance and leadership to over 100 shows. Her credits, too many to list in their entirety, include serving as General Manager for productions of: Fiddler on the Roof, My Fair Lady, Cyrano, all three Broadway productions of Grease, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Full Monty, Taboo, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels The Drowsy Chaperone, Come Fly Away, West Side Story, Catch Me If You Can and this season Beautiful - The Carole King Musical. Charlotte also serves on the Board of Governors, the Executive Committee and was a founding member of the Labor Committee for The Broadway League.
Mitchell received the Tony Award in recognition of his choreography for the 2013 Tony Award-winning Best Musical, Kinky Boots, for which his direction was also recognized with a Tony nomination. In the 33 preceding years, Jerry has been involved with over 50 Broadway, Off-Broadway, West End and touring productions. His Broadway debut as a choreographer, You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, was followed by The Full Monty (Tony nomination), The Rocky Horror Show, Hairspray (Tony nomination), Gypsy, Never Gonna Dance (Tony nomination), Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Tony nomination), La Cage Aux Folles (Tony Award), Imaginary Friends, Legally Blonde (Tony nomination), which he also directed, and Catch Me If You Can.
The Tony Honors for Excellence in the Theatre were established in 1990 and are awarded annually to institutions, individuals and/or organizations that have demonstrated extraordinary achievement in theatre, but are not eligible in any of the established Tony Award categories.

Debian are probably the best example. The key commitment they make is
that you can upgrade, from an up to date "stable" release, to the next
via the distupgrade. Ubuntu claim that, but I've seen comment in the
forum that there's issues, at least with Kubuntu, which may be
expected given it's secondary status to GNOME.
What problems do you see in the rolling update approach? With online
update and OBS we seem to have progressed considerably in that
From a testing standpoint I would guess that it's hard to know whateach "tester" has on his or her system with the rolling update
approach. How does one misbehaving app affect another... for example
if xorg is old will that break compiz? In an Ivory Tower development
style as openSUSE is, you can control what xorg is used... so if it
breaks compiz, you know where to look to fix things... in a rolling
update, can you guarantee that everyone will be on the same level? Is
that important? I don't know. Never worked with it.
From an end user point of view, I like the rolling update concept. Inever have to reinstall... that's a good thing to me.

Aggregation Biases in Estimates of the Value per Statistical Life: Evidence from Longitudinal Matched Worker-Firm Data in Taiwan
This study uses a unique longitudinally-linked employer–employee dataset to estimate the magnitude of bias in estimating the value per statistical life (VSL) that arises from the conventional use of industry-average occupational risk. This unique dataset, covering workers in Taiwan over the period 1998–2002, allows us to distinguish among potential sources of bias including omitted variables and to control for the potential endogeneity of firm-specific job risk with respect to unobserved worker and firm characteristics. We find that VSL estimates based on risk data aggregated by three-digit manufacturing SIC codes are biased downward by an order of magnitude compared with estimates using firm-specific risk that control for endogeneity.

Sports is one field where the best is never the best, a truth that the team behind the MY ASICS app has taken to heart as they developed the next version of their mobile app for runners. MY ASICS 2.0 for Android and iOS comes with improved training plan features that represents the team's better than best efforts.
The MY ASICS mobile app is developed by ASICS, a Japanese company based in Kobe, Japan that specializes in athletic equipment and training. The app particularly focuses on running and marathon training, taking information gathered from research done by the company's Institute of Sport Sciences to give the best training recommendations for runners. The app basically lets users view their running routes and schedules as well as keep track of performance.
The new version of the app will now let MY ASICS users plan their runs directly in the app without having to do it on a web browser instead. The app also gained some new smarts, automatically adapting running plans and future runs based on the runner's performance as well as taking into account the right amount of rest needed for proper recovery.
The MY ASICS app is available for free on Google Play Store with support for 13 different languages including English, Japanese, Italian, German, and more. The MY ASICS service itself is available in a limited number of countries, but runners outside those countries are still free to sign up to gain access in their preferred language.

Battlelines have been drawn at the City of Cockburn over the controversial naming process for its new $109 million aquatic and recreation facility - part of which will become the new training home of the Fremantle Dockers.
Council member Kevin Allen's bloc of four councillors attempted to defer the naming of the new venue on Thursday as "Requa Cockburn" were defeated by Mayor Logan Howlett's casting vote.
Mr Allen had been attempting to get the council to put the naming on hold and to revisit the whole process.
"The naming has been conducted by city officers without the involvement of the council until the short list was presented to us back in December as a fait accompli," Mr Allen said.
However, it was agreed the 100,000-strong Cockburn community would be invited to comment on a short list of four names for the Cockburn Central West facility over the next four weeks.
Residents will be invited to choose one of four shortlisted names for the facility: AVIVA Cockburn, Requa Cockburn, Stadium Central and Cockburn ARC.
The invitation will be promoted through the city website, Facebook, "Cockburn Chatter" and local newspapers.
What do you think of the four options? Comment below
Mr Allen was only somewhat mollified that the community would, at least, have a belated opportunity to comment, but believed they were ill-served by the choice of names.
"I believe the names are inept, absolute rubbish and the branding agency should hang its head in shame," Mr Allen said.
It is understood the naming process was led by The Brand agency, one of Perth's leading branding firms with links to Fremantle's executive.
"I don't understand the hurry to get the branding under way. The facility isn't due to be completed for about another 18 months," Mr Allen said.
He believed the community should have been involved in the naming decision from the word "go".
"This is the biggest and most expensive project that's been undertaken and it's just wrong that the community was not invited to participate as early as possible," Mr Allen said.
The four names were shortlisted from an original 200, following an extensive internal process that also involved three focus groups of 10 residents from across the Cockburn community.
"That's 30 people out of 100,000... how reliable is an outcome from that sample," Mr Allen said.
The city will run the community campaign with the survey results to be presented to council for adoption.
Once a name is chosen, an external agency will begin the branding of the facility's fit out, signage and marketing material.
Cockburn Mayor Logan Howlett said the naming would be a key milestone.
"This facility will become a recognised brand associated with world-class recreation and aquatic amenities," Mr Howlett said.
"It is vital that we involve our community in this important process."
The new venue, in partnership with the Dockers and Curtin University, will include an arena with several indoor and outdoor pools, a water playground, six basketball courts and state of the art gym facilities.
It is expected to be completed in mid-2017.

|John ANDREWS, , Unknown>Unknown m.Mary. The only lead I
have on where John came from is from his daughters obituary dated 1877,
it stated that her parents, John and Mary Andrews were from Richmond
County, Augusta, Ga. I did find them there between the years 1795 to
1809. John had a Tayloring and Habit shop in which he advertised in the
old Augusta Chronicle. He seperated from Mary in 1808 and moved his
business to Milledgeville, (Baldwin Co.) in 1809. I then lose contact
with him and his wife Mary after that time. Their daughter Eliza
married my gggrandfather Nathaniel A. Jameson in 1819 in Twiggs Co. GA.
By 1822 they moved to Wilcox co., Al. Eliza Andrews. Jameson was living
with her daughter and son-n-law in Escambia Co., Fl when she died in
1877. If you could give me a possible line of connection to his parents
it sure would be appreciated.

Updated from 9:55 a.m. to include analyst commentary and closing share prices.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Carl Icahn's efforts as an activist investor in Forest Laboratories (FRX) may have laid the foundation for the company's $25 billion takeover by Actavis (ACT), a specialty pharmaceuticals powerhouse with a growing share of the generic drug market. However, the merger also has to do with corporate shape shifting that changed Actavis's name and put its headquarters in Dublin, Ireland.
In fact, the most important story for investors in Tuesday's deal, one of the biggest pharmaceutical mergers since Pfizer (PFE) bought Wyeth in 2009, may be about Actavis's move from Parsippany, N.J. to Dublin and not corporate activism. After finding its way into Ireland, Actavis is poised to prove that tax efficiency may be one of the biggest factors driving M&A in 2014.
Actavis, by way of its predecessor entity Watson Pharmaceuticals, was founded in 1985 by an immigrant Purdue University Ph.D., Allen Chao, and a colleague, David S. Hsia, with a few million dollars raised by friends and family in the Taiwanese community living in California.
In 2012, Watson Pharmaceuticals acquired Actavis, a Swiss competitor in the generic drugs market. While Watson was the acquirer, the company nevertheless changed its name to Actavis. Watson also changed its ticker on the New York Stock Exchange from 'WPI' to 'ACT' in 2013 and hence Actavis, a U.S.-European conglomerate, was born.
In September 2013, Actavis then bought Dublin-based Warner Chilcott for $8.5 billion, in an all-stock transaction that allowed the company to move its headquarters in Dublin. TheStreet profiled Actavis's corporate shape shifting in that deal.
While Watson's legacy businesses lost their name and their home through the company's acquisitiveness in 2012 and 2013, they nevertheless entered 2014 representing about 50% of "New Actavis's" overall pro-forma revenue. Actavis's tax rate fell to about 17% following the acquisition of Warner Chilcott, according to calculations from analysts at Credit Suisse.
Now, Dublin-based Actavis is buying New York-based Forest Labs. There's a lot for investors to celebrate.
A Victory Lap for Carl Icahn
Carl Icahn, a billionaire activist investor who took a stake in Forest Labs in 2009 and called for the company to change its management and strategy, commended Tuesday's deal on a Web site he created to extoll the virtues of corporate activism.
Icahn ran two proxy contests at Forest Labs, arguing that the company hadn't prepared for the expiration of its drug patents and needed to either be acquired or much larger to succeed. His third proxy contest was avoided when Forest Labs allowed Icahn to elect two new directors to the company's board. In a Tuesday Web post, Icahn also said he was instrumental in bringing Bret Saunders on as Forest Labs' CEO in 2013.
Icahn first disclosed an investment in Forest Labs in November 2009 when the company's shares were trading at about $28.97 a share. Tuesday's takeover by Actavis in a cash and stock deal will give Forest Labs a cash and equity value of $89.48. Actavis's Tuesday stock surge indicates that the deal's ultimate value may be far higher.
Tuesday's deal is certainly a coup for Carl Icahn. Investors following Icahn into Forest Labs shares outperformed the S&P 500 and saw almost $17 billion in rising market value, he said.
A Taxing Strategy
Still, the merits of the deal may be more about corporate synergy and particularly the tax synergies that can be realized when an Irish company with U.S. roots buys a U.S.-based competitor.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts said on Tuesday that Actavis's acquisition of Forest signaled "a new kind of Big Pharma company." The analysts pointed in a research note to clients the combined company's diversity of business mix between branded, generic and biosimilar drugs, its geography, and a more targeted R&D strategy.
"Therefore, this combination, which will also benefit from meaningful cost and tax synergies, is conceptually appealing to us," the analysts wrote.
Leerink Swann analysts said that the majority of synergies will come from SG&A. The analysts also said Actavis is likely to further scale its cost structure beyond the guided cost synergies presented by management.
Actavis said on Tuesday that the merger is expected to yield a double-digit boost to non-GAAP earnings in 2015 and 2016, and will allow the merged entity to generate $4 billion in annual free cash flow by 2015, enabling it to rapidly de-lever from acquisition-related debts.
The tie-up also has the potential to realize approximately $1 billion in operating and tax synergies before any manufacturing synergies or revenue synergies, Actavis said.
"With this strategic combination, we create an innovative new model in specialty pharmaceuticals leadership, with size and scale, a balanced offering of strong brands and generics, a focus on strategic, lower-risk drug development, and - most important - the ability to drive sustainable organic growth," Paul Bisaro, Chairman and CEO of Actavis, said in a statement.
"In five short years, my management team has transformed Watson, and now Actavis, from a U.S. generics company to a leader on the global specialty pharmaceutical stage. Brent and his team, in a short period, have made dramatic progress in rejuvenating Forest into a leader in North American brands," he added.

Reviews for Country Pineapple Casserole
Average Rating
"This replaced my old pineapple stuffing recipe, family loved it."
"So simple to make, yet it's flavor is sooo awesome! We have this every holiday and it is absolutely delicious. Not too sweet and goes splendidly with baked ham, roast turkey, Roast beef, etc. You could stuff a turkey with this or make it as shown as a separate casserole. This recipe took everyone in our family by surprise. If you enjoy stuffing-type dishes, you should love this one."
"I was looking for something different to take to a family reunion and come across this recipe; tried it out first and it was a hit with my in-laws; only had a little left over from the reunion. Only modification I made was cutting the sugar in half, 2 cups seemed way too much, using 1 cup was sweet enough. Delicious, easy to make and will definitely make it again!"
"I've been making this dish for years. Good with ham, pork roast and also burgers. Big family here and all like it. Always have to make two dishes to have enough."
"I make this all the time when my family's holiday has ham on the menu. There's NEVER any leftovers!!! It's delicious and supereasy!!"

BOSTON ( MainStreet) -- The Super Bowl is the biggest advertising event of the year, so even though the Boston/New York sports rivalry will be renewed, most viewers will instead be riveted by the latest commercials from Coca-Cola ( KO) and Anheuser-Busch InBev ( BUD). This year, 30-second spots during Super Bowl XLVI are commanding prices upward of $3.5 million, the highest total ever. Advertisers are shelling out the big bucks in hope of luring viewers in a contest of commerce that will rival the game between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots.
Over the previous 10 years, the Super Bowl has generated $1.7 billion of network advertising sales from more than 125 marketers, according to advertising data firm Kantar Media. The top five Super Bowl advertisers are, in order, Anheuser-Busch InBev, PepsiCo ( PEP), General Motors ( GM), Walt Disney ( DIS) and Coca-Cola, accounting for $636 million of that total. Advertisers are more than willing to feed the viewer hunger for funny, irreverent commercials. In the decade of Super Bowls that preceded this Sunday's matchup, the number of commercials has spiked 29% from 74 ads taking up little more than 36 minutes in 2002 to 96 ads running 46 minutes last year, according to Kantar. Kantar says the average price of a 30-second spot this year, at an estimated $3.5 million, is up 59% from 2002, when a commercial slot during the big game carried a price tag of $2.2 million. Typically, first-time advertisers account for 20% of the Super Bowl ad lineup, although only three such companies have announced participation in the Super Bowl this year. For Super Bowl XLVI, several key advertisers such as Coke and Budweiser return once again. Some companies, including GoDaddy.com and E*Trade Financial ( ETFC) have already promised to tread over familiar ground, while newcomers such as Century 21 and Dannon hope to entice viewers with new national ad campaigns. Here are some previews of commercials set to run this Super Bowl Sunday. We'll update the list periodically as more marketers unveil their big spots for the big game:

Fatality Analysis Reporting System
The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) is a census of motor vehicle traffic crashes that result in a fatality to a vehicle occupant or nonmotorist within 30 days of the crash. FARS contains data on all fatal crashes within the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Data are collected on several aspects of the crash, including the event, the vehicle(s) and driver(s), and each person involved. These data can be used to answer many questions on the safety of vehicles, drivers, traffic situations, and roadways, at the state and national levels.
Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (DOT/NHTSA)
Data Years Available:
Mode of Collection:
Data are abstracted from official state records and sent to DOT.
Selected Content:
Data collected include the time and location of the crash, numbers of people and vehicles involved, vehicle type(s), impact points, driver's license status of all drivers, demographics of all persons involved, their role in crash (driver, passenger, etc), injury severity, and seatbelt restraint use. Driver and nonoccupant blood alcohol content measures are also collected.
Population Covered:
The U.S. population.
To be included in FARS, a crash must involve a motor vehicle travelling on a traffic way customarily open to the public, and result in the death of a person (either an occupant of a vehicle or a non-motorist) within 30 days of the crash. Data are abstracted from official state records and coded on standard FARS forms by state employees who have received FARS training. Data sources include: police accident reports, state vehicle registration files, state driver license files, state highway department data, vital statistics data, death certificates, Coroner/Medical Examiner reports, hospital medical records, and emergency medical service reports. FARS forms are transmitted to DOT for quality assurance and analysis. An online database (FARS Query System) is available for public use.

10 Most Disappointing Albums of 2012
Published Dec 19, 2012
10 Most Disappointing Albums of 2012:
10. Emeralds
Just to Feel Anything
(Editions Mego)
Whether or not its a good album will be a point of contention argued passionately by synth nerds across the globe, but there's no denying that it was a major disappointment for at least half of the A/V club members out there. That's because, after the career-making synth epic of 2010's Does It Look Like I'm Here?, the group decided to add drums, crank up the cheese and move into some dubiously corny '90s sounds. There are some undoubtedly quality moments on this album, and no one's arguing whether it's a well-crafted record. But it's a well-crafted album that flirts dangerously close to feathered-mullet prog territory, an understandable bummer for some.
9. Ben Folds Five
The Sound of the Life of the Mind
For those of us who once rocked ironic ringer T's and horn-rimmed glasses, the announcement of a new album from Ben Folds Five — their first in 13 years, no less — was a cautiously optimistic prospect. After all, aside from some fruitful Weird Al hangouts and some solid turns on Rockin' the Suburbs, Folds' post-Five material was some of the most forgettable on the Starbucks CD rack. And, sure, The Sound of the Life of the Mind did deliver the signature plinking piano keys, fuzz bass and often humourous lyrics, but it also felt as if the Ben Folds Five were simply doing their best Ben Folds Five impression. In other words, they didn't offer anything that you couldn't already find in a half-assed afternoon on Rdio.
8. Kreayshawn
Somethin 'Bout Kreay
Skeptics rightly saw this flop coming from a mile away, but that doesn't mean we couldn't be at least a little disappointed. After all, Chief Keef's Finally Rich proved that you can take one viral hit and spin it into a listenable, if limited, major-label debut. With Bay Area mainstay Kreayshawn, however, nothing panned out the way it should have. In 2011, she dropped the accidental mega-hit "Gucci Gucci" via YouTube and quickly signed on with Columbia for what would become Somethin 'Bout Kreay. Roping in the likes of 2 Chainz and Diplo, the album could've been huge, but came out a flop thanks to its lack of direction or even passion. It's a weird thing to admit, but perhaps more major-label tinkering would've helped. After all, X Factor UK lab creation Cher Lloyd released a much more fun brat-rap album in the boardroom-designed Sticks + Stones.
7. Green Day
iUno!, iDos! and iTre!
These three albums aren't disappointing because we had high hopes for them. They're more disappointing in the way that your mom's not mad, just disappointed, when you forget her birthday or kill her plants while she's on vacation. From the story surrounding them that includes Billie Joe Armstrong's pre-rehab anti-Bieber rant (oh, that's right, Billie, you were on The Voice, while he was on The X Factor.... totally different things) to some embarrassingly corny political lyrics to the fact that there's three fucking albums, there was simply too much bad to go with what little good the band may have produced. It's fitting that Billie also made a cameo in Judd Apatow's This Is 40, because these albums double as physical documentation of some punk dads going through their midlife crises.
6. Best Coast
The Only Place
(Mexican Summer)
Depending on who you ask, Bethany Cosentino's school-yard rhyme schemes and borrowed lo-fi aesthetic can come off as immensely manufactured. Crazy for You, 2010's diary-entry set to rudimentary music, felt like a mistaken winner. Then, she signed up with Jon Brion, an endlessly quirky Wes Anderson of sound who could have theoretically added some depth to the whole thing. Instead, it was even more dull. Without the scratchy lo-fi, we're just left with SUV-ready versions of the same bland beach songs.

Phoenix, AZ, United States, 2010/07/19 - Cooper University Hospital of New Jersey selects Integrated Health Management Services, LLC, to maximize Medicare reimbursements for complex or aged accounts - IHMSLLC.com.
Following a nationwide search, Cooper University Hospital chose Integrated Health Management Services, LLC, (IHMS) to assist with the billing and follow up of Medicare accounts 60 days or older.
Cooper University Hospitals expertise in the neurology, cardiology and orthopedic fields made it a provider of choice for aging patients throughout the Cherry Hill/Camden and Philadelphia area. As the volume of these Medicare-eligible patients began steadily increasing, the hospitals billing and recovery department was dealing more and more with one of the most complex payers in the industry. The sheer number of Medicare claims, coupled with a maze of complicated regulations surrounding the program, often made it difficult for the facility to collect all of the funds to which it was entitled.
In 2009, hospital administrators decided the key to increasing overall cash flow was to partner with an organization possessing specific expertise in Medicare and access to Highmark Medicare Services, also known as a Medicare Administrative Contractor or MAC. After narrowing down the list to three candidates, IHMS, a Phoenix-based health care receivables firm, met the criteria that hospital management was looking for.
Cooper University Hospitals decision to partner with an outside billing and recovery organization was not an unusual one. Tough economic times and the need to expand in order to serve a growing, often aging, patient base has led many hospital administrators to seek more innovative methods of ensuring a steady revenue stream. With the help of IHMS, the hospital will be more financially equipped to continue its efforts to support the community, such as the recent expansion of a new $220 million patient care facility in Camden, New Jersey.
By utilizing the expertise of IHMS for aged and possibly complex Medicare reimbursement scenarios, my team will be able to focus on more effective billing practices and increasing revenue capture. Meanwhile, the dollars recovered by IHMS will help to further facilitate our mission and our commitment to the community, said Charles Reitano, Director of Patient Financial Services for Cooper University Hospital. We are confident that we can shorten our days outstanding on our Medicare accounts by partnering with IHMS.
For IHMS, the challenge ahead is to support the hospitals mission to provide outstanding health services and medical care, while managing the ever increasing volume and complexity of third party claims. One way of meeting this challenge involves assigning case managers who already possess firsthand Medicare experience at the county or state level.
Bob Lamaster of IHMS affirms the importance of building a team with direct working knowledge of the Medicare side of the billing and recovery equation. Because our people know the system from the inside out, they can easily identify and resolve barriers to payment such as filing, coding and electronic billing issues. They can also ensure that Medicare payers follow the contracts they have in place with providers to cut down the rate of denials, Lamaster said.
These and other cash recovery strategies will prove invaluable to hospitals striving to maintain and even improve their quality of care in the middle of a recession. As hospital administrators seek more creative and effective ways to collect from Medicare and other third party payers, companies such as IHMS will help keep revenue streams open and flowing.
About Cooper University Hospital
Cooper University Hospital is the flagship of The Cooper Health System. It is the premier university hospital serving South Jersey and the Delaware Valley. Currently the core clinical campus for the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in Camden, Cooper recently announced plans to expand its role as a leader in medical education and research with the creation of the Cooper Medical School of Rowan University. This four-year allopathic medical school in partnership with Rowan University will seat its first class in 2012. Cooper is renowned for Signature Programs in cardiology, cancer, critical care, trauma, orthopedics and neurology. Cooper is in the midst of a $600 million expansion of its Camden Health Sciences Campus - including a new $220 million patient Pavilion which opened in 2008. Cooper continues its regional expansion with the opening of new and expanded facilities throughout Camden, Burlington and Gloucester Counties.

44 special vrs. 45 acp
Out of both a service size and CCW, which caliber has less perceived recoil?
If loaded with the same weight bullet at the same pressure, the .45 would likely have a slight edge in velocity, but it would probably be negligible. Personally, I would be surprised if you could tell the difference in recoil.
Just did some quick research and discovered that the max pressure for the .44 special is 15,500 psi. This gives a distinct advantage to the .45ACP in performance, but will probably result in increased recoil as well. How much of an increase is hard to say.
Something to keep in mind is that the preceding opinion was based on shooting 230 grain bullets in the .45. One way to reduce recoil is to use a lighter bullet. Probably the biggest advantage of the .45 over the .44 special is the variety of bullets and loadings readily available from manufacturers. If you are a hand loader, this may not be of concern to you.
Preceived recoil in this comparison will be more a factor of the gun used with each cartridge.
The 45acp is used in a semi auto and the 44 special in a revolver. Preceived recoil is also a function of
the fit of the gun to the user's hand.
What is say is not incorrect but it is incomplete. There are revolvers that shoot the .45ACP. the Smith & Wesson 625 is such an example. I'm pretty sure Taurus also has one or two models chambered in .45ACP. Fr the top of my head, I'm not aware of any Rugers, other than the Blackhawk and Vaquero convertibles, that use the .45 ACP but these are not typically thought of as service revolvers.
It is true that perceived recoil will be different from revolver to auto and even from one revolver model to another. It's pretty hard to do an apples to apples comparison unless using two identical guns that differ only in the cartridge they shoot. Even then, there could be a weight difference that could affect felt recoil. This weight difference would be pretty minimal when comparing .44 and .45 though. Not sure you could feel the difference
The Charter Arms Bulldog SS 2.5" 44spl 5 shot weighs 21oz. The typical light weight officers model 3" bbl weighs about 25oz. Both loaded with 200 grn will be very close in velocity but the 45acp will weigh about 6oz more loaded. Felt recoil will increase as rounds are fired and the weight diminishes.
Keep in mind while the revolver has a shorter barrel the cartridge is in the cylinder. The 3" 45acp barrel contains the cartridge and in effect has only a 2" barrel. There is some gas lost at the cylinder gap which probably equals them out.
My Glock 36 weighs 27 oz loaded and 20.11oz empty. It also has a longer barrel so it will out perform both of the above firearms. Recoil gets noticeably heavier on the last couple of rounds.

Senator Carlucci Passes Critical Legislation To Tackle Heroin Epidemic
As Vice Chair of the Senate's Task Force on Heroin and Opioid Abuse, Senator David Carlucci (D-Rockland/Westchester) authored the successful passage of two pieces of legislation that focus on prevention and treatment options for those who have fallen prey to the recent heroin epidemic.
At hearings across the State friends and family members of victims shared similar experiences of loved ones being denied outpatient treatment for their addiction.
This piece of legislation that passed in the State Senate targets that critical window of time where if supports and services were provided to an addict, it could have saved their life. First by creating the Assisted Outpatient Treatment for Substance Abuse Program, we will allow a process in which a victim or family member can petition a court to obtain an order for assisted outpatient treatment services. These critical life saving services include case management services, substance use disorder services, detoxification treatment plan, medication supported recovery, individual or group therapy, day or partial day programming activities, tests for the presence of alcohol or illegal drugs, supervision of living arrangements and any other services prescribed to treat the person's substance use disorder to assist the person in living and functioning in the community.
The commissioner of the Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services, in consultation with the Commissioner of the Department of Health and the Commissioner of the Office of Mental Health will work together to create the Assisted Outpatient Treatment for Substance Abuse Program while also creating an advisory council to provide recommendations and guidance for prevention programs.
The second piece of legislation that passed the State Senate will establish a program to provide wraparound services to individuals who have successfully completed a treatment program. These services include educational resources, peer to peer support group, social services and family services and counseling employment support and counseling, transportation assistance, medical services, legal services, financial services and childcare services.
Senator Carlucci said, "By passing these critical pieces of legislation we made sure to address the fact that there exists a frightening heroin epidemic that is plaguing our communities and putting our children at risk. This multi-prong approach will save lives by focusing on recovery and prevention while closing a loophole in our current system that let victims fall through the cracks."

What You Will Learn
• Reduce geographic risk by moving to lower-risk data center locations
• Improve business resiliency through data center facility resiliency
• Increase data center capacity for future business growth
• Improve business agility through increased server, storage, and network virtualization
• Enable clients located anywhere in the world to access core business applications any time under any circumstances
• Roll out multiple active data centers with the capability to localize client traffic
Business Benefits
• Increased application performance as seen by end users, be they employees, partners, or customers
• Easily deployed and established a predictable disaster recovery policy, flexible enough to support additions, moves, and changes for any networked application
• Scaled application global availability without massive increases in WAN bandwidth
• Implemented flexible global network policies that provides localization of client traffic without sacrificing the disaster recovery process
Figure 1. Cisco ACE GSS Deployments
• Cisco used the Cisco ACE GSS unique proximity technology that uses Cisco IOS® Software routers to localize client traffic and provides data center persistence required for web-based applications.
• Cisco used the Cisco ACE GSS universal disaster recovery capability to meet Cisco recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) requirements.
• Cost savings resulting from localization of client traffic: Using the Cisco ACE GSS proximity technology, which redirects client traffic to the closest device supporting the requested application, Cisco IT has seen a reduction of intercontinental WAN traffic and reduced need for a costly upgrade to the existing WAN circuits.
• Faster response time: Global networked applications that use the Cisco ACE GSS proximity technology see significantly improved application response times and shortened file transfer times. Also, Cisco ACE GSS supports proximity with persistence, so those clients that have been localized always return to the same global application.
• Increased productivity for IT personnel: Norman Fong, network architect for Cisco says, "On the GSS we leverage the role-based access to allow the user community to configure their own proximity and disaster recovery policies. The implementation is so simple and transparent to the user community they believe they have a dedicated GSS solution... This approach allows for greater levels of productivity, because the user community does not have to wait when they want to make changes in the application's global availability or policy."
• Improved application security and stability: With Cisco ACE GSS, applications experience fewer, and shorter, client-affecting outages caused by hardware failure or system maintenance activities. Applications security is enhanced because Cisco ACE GSS can mitigate the effects of a Domain Name System (DNS)-based distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. This distinctive self-protection capability can be deployed to shield any DNS infrastructure such as Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) services and Microsoft-based client devices along with Microsoft Active Directory.

How good?
There is a very small window (so to speak) on the human body that will give a one shot kill.
A short T, eyes down the nose to the upper lip, that's if the target is facing you, the target alters as the body rotates. Then you have a vertical target at two inches wide (spinal column ) and this can be easy or hard to hit depending on how much penetration is needed to reach the target, is it facing you, angled to you or are you shooting from the rear ( the nasty back shot).
These are extreamly small targets to hit at the best of times and they get smaller as the pressure goes up.
Military experience is just what it sounds like, but that does not equate to combat experience. Shooting under pressure and hitting the target is what counts.

Fopp was forced to close on July 31st after credit problems, which were exacerbated by the acquisition of doomed retail chain Music Zone chain in February. HMV this week obtained Fopp stores in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Nottingham, Cambridge and London – as well as the retailer's brand and website – from receiver Ernst and Young for an undisclosed amount of money.
And despite games proving one of HMV's most successful products in its last full-year financials in May, the company has told MCV that interactive entertainment will not feature in Fopp stores anytime soon.
"We're anxious not to change the Fopp identity and customer experience, so we'll be keeping the product mix pretty much the same as before," said spokesperson Gennaro Castaldo.
"Games have not been a part of this, and we certainly have no immediate plans to introduce them."
The retailer hasn't ruled out the possibility of bringing in games to Fopp stores completely, however.
Castaldo added: "There appears to be little demand for games from Fopp customers at present. If it becomes apparent that demand starts to build we will consider the introduction of games and related products."

Every Lottery team has to ask themselves the same question at some point before the draft: what would it take for us to get Blake Griffin? With his connections to the Oklahoma community, the Thunder obviously have some extra incentive to try to answer to that question. So how far are they willing to go to get him into an OKC uni?
There will be no shortage of competition, however, particularly from Oklahoma City, which has the third pick in the draft. The Thunder is expected to make a play for Griffin, using the third pick and one of their young core players (Jeff Green or Russell Westbrook) as bait for the top overall pick, which would allow them to keep Griffin in his hometown.
That would be a huge move in terms of local interest and, by extension, ticket sales.
So instead of running with a core of Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Green, and perhaps Arizona's Jordan Hill at PF, the Thunder are willing to part with one of their three core guys to get BG. If I'm OKC's GM, I'd offer up Jeff Green and the No. 3 pick – but I'm not sure that I'd be so quick to give up Westbrook. It's not that Green isn't a really solid player – he is. It's that Westbrook could be really special if he continues to develop.
There have been some rumblings around the internet today about the Clippers not being totally sold on taking Griffin first. However, none of that includes a single quote from anyone in the Clippers organization. As we wrote in Smack, they've had their eyes on Griffin for too long now.
What do you think of this deal?

Newcastle confirm Polygon takeover bid
Newcastle today confirmed they have received a potential takeover approach from US hedge fund Polygon.
The club issued a statement to the Stock Exchange this afternoon confirming that St James' Park Group Limited, a consortium backed by Polygon Global Opportunities Master Fund, are among the parties currently in talks with shareholders.
Chairman Freddy Shepherd informed the company's members of the development during yesterday's annual general meeting, and today's announcement formalises that in line with Stock Exchange rules following fresh speculation.
The statement read: 'The board of Newcastle notes the press comment following yesterday's AGM and confirms that St James' Park Group Limited (a consortium backed by Polygon Global Opportunities Master Fund) is one of the parties that has made an approach to the board of Newcastle regarding a possible offer for Newcastle.
'The board wishes to reiterate that it has not accepted any proposals for the company from any party nor is any due diligence being conducted on the company.
'Therefore, there can be no certainty that an offer will be made, nor as to the terms on which any offer would be made. A further statement will be made as appropriate.'
Polygon have held a long-term interest in Newcastle, and a report last week stated they had made and had approved a £227million offer for the club in conjunction with the United Bank of Switzerland.
Shepherd was swift to deny that, and repeated the denial at yesterday's meeting.
A bullish chairman also again challenged potential investors - the club revealed talks with the Jersey-based investment group Belgravia back in August - to 'put up or shut up' after months of rumours.
Former chairman Sir John Hall, his son Douglas and Shepherd are the three major shareholders, between them controlling stakes amounting to around 70%.
However, while the Halls appear to be keen to sell out, the man who took over at the helm nine years ago has given the prospective buyers less encouragement.
Shepherd has previously admitted he could happily walk away if the club finally ended its 37-year search for a major trophy - this season's Intertoto Cup will not fulfil that requirement - and insists he would welcome a 'Geordie Abramovich' with open arms.
But a man who has ploughed millions into the club he supported as a boy retains great affection for it and for his hands-on, day-to-day involvement, which could prove difficult to relinquish.
The Belgravia Group maintain that their interest remains, despite playing down talk of an imminent bid last month, and confirmation of Polygon's approach will do little to calm speculation.
Fans are also growing weary of the repeated claims, and Frank Gilmour, of the Independent Newcastle United Supporters' Association, called for a decisive move one way or the other.
Gilmour said: 'It has been going on that long, you wonder if there is any truth in it.
'If they are going to make a bid, make it now or just leave it alone. All the speculation just affects the club.
'A lot of supporters would be happy to see the Halls disappear, but all the uncertainty is bound to affect the manager and the playing staff.
'The supporters will just go on exactly as they have done for years and years, just wanting somebody decent to come in a make the club successful.'

Even if it was an orchestrated move by the franchisees (whether in response to signals they were getting from the Indian government or not), they were entirely within their rights to act as they did.
By Suresh Menon
Pakistan have cancelled a parliamentary committee trip to India. Prominent sportsmen have suggested that they pull out of the hockey World Cup in India next month. If the government also decides to take steps to stop terrorist activities aimed at India, then perhaps the IPL auction would have achieved something. We can live without parliamentary committees and hockey teams; we can't live with terrorists.
I make no apologies for being facetious. It was Pakistan, after all, who politicized the IPL issue, somehow concluding that national pride was pricked – and that is a facetious reaction. It is like saying that by not choosing someone from Pakistan for their staff, Indian companies are insulting that country. The analogy is not accidental. The IPL is not about sport or national honour or political point-scoring. It is business pure and simple, and when businessmen make decisions, they do not use the same yardsticks that sentimental folk do.
The question they ask is not "How will this improve relations between countries ?", but "What is the bottom line ?".
There were, after all only 13 slots to be filled and a cap of 750,000 dollars per team. If you were a businessman, and looked at some of the Pakistani names, perhaps you might have been tempted by Shahid Afridi and Sohail Tanvir. Maybe Imran Nazir and Umar Gul. Or the young Umar Akmal. But Tanvir apart (he was the leading wicket-taker) players from across the border were a disappointment the last time around.
True, Pakistan won the T20 World Cup in between, but Tanvir has been nursing injuries that have kept him out of both the Victoria team in Australia's T20 and the Pakistan one-day squad in Australia. Afridi's ten matches in the IPL saw him score a grand total of 81 runs (he claimed nine wickets, besides), and that was hardly sound return on an investment of $675,000 paid out by the Deccan Chargers.
It is understandable if, denied such riches, the players scream 'politics' and 'conspiracy'. The comments by the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board Ijaz Butt came like a breath of fresh air when he said, "It really does not bother us; what difference does it make if our players don't play in the IPL?" Perhaps he was misquoted, for a day later he said, "We are highly disappointed. I have spoken to our sports minister to speak to his counterpart in India about this."
Even if it was an orchestrated move by the franchisees (whether in response to signals they were getting from the Indian government or not), they were entirely within their rights to act as they did.
There is uncertainty over the future – anything could happen in the two months before the tournament, the visas could be revoked and that would mean good money down the drain. Or there might be incidents like the one which saw Mohammed Asif being caught the last time in India for drug abuse. Business houses pick players as much for their skills as for how well their public image meshes with the company's image.
It is not often that one agrees with the Board of Control for Cricket in India, but when its Secretary says that the franchisees are entitled to their selections, it is hard to disagree.
There is a school of thought which holds that it was incumbent upon the team owners to help political relations with the 'soft diplomacy' approach that cricket affords. If so, it should have been made clear to them. But that would have been an insult too – to be chosen for political reasons!
One of the clichés of the India-Pakistan situation concerns the excellent 'people-to-people' relationship unlike the politician-to-politician one which is responsible for all the ills. Less than six months after the Pakistanis played in the IPL last, terrorists attacked India. So much for people-to-people relations. Terrorists don't care. Politicians don't care. Why should businessmen be forced to care?
