Physicians Formula Powder Palette Multi-Colored Face Powder Reviews
Great productI have the green powder palette because I have some redness issues. While it doesn't completely cover the redness it does make it less noticeable. It also helped reduced shine and it gave my face a matte finish. It didn't leave green streaks either, which I thought would be a problem. — 7 years, 8 months agoGeekyChic | 226 reviews

Multi-colored powder palette - 2718 "healthy glow bronzer" was streaky and "2717 natural glow pressed powder" was too glittery, "3869 light bronzer" was JUST RIGHTAs someone of Asian descent in her mid-30s with truly classic combination, acne-prone and somewhat sensitive skin, I'm always looking for powders and bronzers that don't call attention to the oiliness of my T-zone, that don't leave me looking dry and powdery, that don't settle into fine lines, don't cake around my acne scars/peeling skin, and don't irritate my skin or clog my pores, but instead le...read moreave a soft natural-looking glow. After having a good experience with another bronzer and face brightening powder from the PF line, I thought I'd give these a try. The 1st two did not do the job. While the 2718 bronzer has a slight shimmer to it (that I didn't notice when I bought it), it's not too bad and very, very subtle (I don't like seeing sparkles on my face as I work in a professional office environment, and this doesn't leave obvious sparkles). I used a kabuki to buff it on and found that it left streaks on my face. Maybe it had to do with the time of day (I applied it late in the afternoon). In any case, it was streaky on my cheeks even after trying to buff it with my kabuki. It was also a bit too dark for my NC35/NW30 skin - such that it did not look natural. I'll give it another try one morning and see if there's any difference after applying it directly after I put on face powder, and will report back. But this is most likely going back to the store. I give it 3/10 stars. Now, the "natural glow 2717 pressed powder" was the worst ever - when you buy it in the store, you don't really notice the glitter. But once I used the airbrush kabuki from PF (hard to find in retail stores now but available on online) to buff it on, I saw how big the glitter specks were and they left sparkles on my face. Then I looked at the pan and saw the big glitter specks had revealed themselves upon buffing the pan. This powder made my face look shiny and oily, not dewy with a soft glow. I had to buff on another face powder to combat the shine. Color-wise, it was fine for my NC35/NW30 skin and was not too light in color on my face. But this is going back to the store! I give it 1/10 stars (I'd give it 0 stars if I could!). Now the matte powders in this multi-colored line are GREAT - I used the "3869 light bronzer" with the bamboo kabuki from PF - it looked natural, wasn't streaky, had a nice matte finish that left my face looking just right - not too matte, not too shiny, just a soft finish to my face. I am so happy I found this! I am going to be using this instead of my NARS Laguna/Orgasm blush/bronzer duo! — 5 years, 11 months agoluxelife | 11 reviews

Great product but doesn't travel!I have used this product for over a year and been happy with the look and coverage. I bought a second compact for my travel beauty kit. In less than 3 months, the "palette" of pressed powder completely disintegrated, rendering it useless. I wrote the company for suggestions of an alternate product but heard nothing. I'm disappointed but will look elsewhere for my next minteral powder product. — 7 years, 5 months agomjspear | 1 reviews

It's not free at all. We all chipped in a $7 check and not to mention the 4-5 figures we all had to buy to get it. The jag-offs in the mail department should be able to get the damn product to collectors in decent condition. I don't think it's too much for collectors to ask for that after shelling out the money for it. If it's going to arrive in bad condition then I would just rather buy it in the stores. That way I don't have to wait 3 months for it to arrive in a beat up mailer box either.

It took a stop at a track at which Jimmie Johnson has enjoyed a great deal of success in his career to earn his first victory of the 2014 season.
Is Matt Kenseth up next?
Johnson's victory last week in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway gave him a record seven victories at the track.
Kenseth, who led the NASCAR Sprint Cup series with seven wins last season, is winless this season. But today he too can end a drought at a track where he has found much success, Dover (Del.) International Speedway.
"It is one of those tracks that is not only challenging to race other cars and figure out how to pass them, but it always challenges you every single lap, even when you are by yourself," Kenseth said.
"It is one of those tracks you can't let your guard down."
Dover was the site of Kenseth's first Cup start in 1998 when he finished sixth as a last-minute substitute driver for Bill Elliott, whose father, George, died that week.
In fact, Kenseth was so last-minute he had no fire suit matching Elliott's McDonald's-sponsored car.
Kenseth borrowed a suit from one of Elliott's crewmen, and his finish was the best for a driver in his debut in NASCAR's top series since 1980, when Rusty Wallace finished second in his first race at Atlanta.
And Dover has been kind to Kenseth ever since.
He has two victories at the track and 19 top-10 finishes in 30 starts, more than any other track. In his previous 12 races at the 1-mile concrete oval, Kenseth has finished seventh or better nine times.
Kenseth was in the running to win the 600 but ended up finishing a season-best third.
"I feel like we're gaining on it," he said. "I thought all things being equal and nobody having trouble (at Charlotte) that we had at least a fifth-place car — so we're gaining on it.
"Typically, (Charlotte) has been one of our best places, and I was hoping we were going to be able to sneak up on a win there. We are just a little bit off and just need to get it a little better somehow."
Perhaps the next step for Kenseth's No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing team will come in today's FedEx 400.
"I know that Dover is a track that Matt is quite fond of, and it's one of my most favorite tracks on the circuit other than Darlington," said Kenseth's crew chief, Jason Ratcliff. "I just like Dover because it's unique and it reminds me of a Bristol on steroids. Things that apply at the 11/2-mile tracks kind of apply at Dover, but then you also have to throw some short-track characteristics into your car as well. It's fast, it's fun and it's different."

Final rule.
CFR Part: "12 CFR Parts 702, 741 and 791"
RIN Number: "RIN 3133-AE07"
Citation: "78 FR 4032"
"Rules and Regulations"
SUMMARY: The NCUA Board (Board) is issuing a final rule to amend Interpretive Ruling and Policy Statement (IRPS) 87-2, as amended by IRPS 03-2, and two NCUA regulations that apply asset thresholds to grant relief from risk-based net worth and interest rate risk requirements. The amended IRPS increases the asset threshold that identifies credit unions to which NCUA will give more robust consideration of regulatory relief in future rulemakings. The amended regulations similarly include increased asset thresholds, granting immediate and prospective relief from existing regulatory burden to a larger group of small credit unions.

I. Background
What changes does this final rule make?
The Regulatory Flexibility Act, Public Law 96-354, as amended (RFA), generally requires federal agencies to determine and specially consider the impact of proposed and final rules on small entities. Since 2003, NCUA has defined "small entity" in this context as a credit union with less than

FOOTNOTE 11 12 U.S.C. 1782(a)(6); 1790d. END FOOTNOTE
II. Summary of Public Comments
The public comment period for the proposed rule and IRPS ended on
Almost all commenters expressly supported the Board's efforts to relieve regulatory burden, with just over half advocating for changes to the proposed asset threshold, the criteria NCUA uses to define small entity, and/or the proposed three-year review period. In addition to resource concerns, multiple commenters drew comparisons between FICUs and non-credit union institutions with which they compete to advocate for a higher RFA threshold. The general comments on the proposal are described in detail below.
What were the general comments supporting the proposed rule or advocating for a higher asset threshold?
Commenters generally fell into groups that supported or advocated three different asset thresholds or ranges, including (a)
A second group of six commenters advocated for a threshold between
A third group, comprised of 16 commenters, suggested NCUA reference the
FOOTNOTE 13 One commenter that advised referencing the SBA's threshold suggested
What were the general comments on the three-year review period and criteria for defining small entities?
Eleven commenters thought NCUA's RFA threshold should be reviewed or automatically adjusted every 18 months, or at least more frequently than every three years, asserting that the SBA reviewed its threshold on such a schedule. The other supportive commenters (over two-thirds of all commenters) either expressed support for the three-year review period or did not mention the review period in their comments supporting the proposal. A few commenters suggested using one or more additional or alternative criteria to define small entity, including number of branches, number of employees, relative risk, and gross revenues.
What were the comments opposing or not expressly supporting the proposed rule?
One commenter stated that the RFA is bad policy for financial institutions and that smaller institutions have more risk and should be subject to equally or more stringent standards and oversight. This commenter thought the proposed rule would create a tiered regulatory system and impede consolidation and efficiency that benefits members. One commenter noted the challenge and expense of regulatory compliance but did not expressly support or oppose any aspect of the proposed rule. Finally, one commenter advocated for three groups of small credit unions: A micro small group (less than
What other comments did NCUA receive?
A few commenters made suggestions that no other commenters proposed or made suggestions on matters the Board did not address in the proposed rule. One commenter, who otherwise supported reference to the SBA's threshold, suggested NCUA use an alternative threshold of

FOOTNOTE 16 The Board will consider regulatory burden in the emergency liquidity rule in a manner consistent with the principles expressed here and seeks to avoid blending parallel, ongoing rulemakings. Further, the Board believes a discussion of unaffected thresholds would make this rulemaking confusing and more cumbersome without contributing to its clarity. This final rule and IRPS will affect only the thresholds it expressly addresses. END FOOTNOTE
FOOTNOTE 17 The term "complex" appears in the FCU Act in connection with risk-based net worth requirements. See 12 U.S.C. 1790d(d). Only
Multiple commenters stated that NCUA's complexity index from the proposed rule's preamble was not a reliable indicator of risk and would unnecessarily reduce the scope of regulatory relief and become a disincentive to diversify products and services. /18/ A couple commenters also requested more rigorous RFA analysis for NCUA regulations. /19/
FOOTNOTE 18 The complexity index is only one reference point that helped the Board develop a proposed threshold. While the index is a good indicator of a FICU's relative risk, it does not necessarily measure whether a particular risk presented by an exemption from a specific rule is acceptable. END FOOTNOTE
FOOTNOTE 19 The Board welcomes general comments in this respect and also particular comments on ensuring an effective RFA analysis in future regulations. END FOOTNOTE
The Board has carefully considered all the public comments it received in response to the proposed rule and IRPS. Recognizing the concerns and suggestions the above commenters raised, the Board has made a substantial adjustment in the final rule. The final rule and the Board's response to the public comments are discussed below.
III. Final Rule
What changes does this final rule make?
a. The RFA Asset Threshold
This final rule and IRPS 13-1 amends IRPS 87-2 and partially supersedes IRPS 03-2 by changing the definition of "small entity" to include credit unions with less than
As shown in the table below, FICUs with less than
FOOTNOTE 20 The table also shows percentages for various other asset thresholds, based on the most recent Call Report, for comparison to the 1998 percentages. The percentages for FICUs with less than
Threshold % Units % System % System net % NCUSIF # Units ( $M) assets worth < $10 60.4 5.5 6.9 561.2 6,637 (1998) < $10 34.9 1.0 1.3 80.4 2,402 < $25 54.2 3.1 4.0 264.3 3,731 < $30 58.0 3.8 4.8 325.5 3,997 < $35 61.2 4.5 5.6 384.2 4,213 < $40 63.5 5.1 6.2 434.7 4,374 < $45 65.8 5.8 7.0 490.9 4,532 < $50 67.8 6.4 7.7 569.6 4,672 < $175 86.0 18.1 19.7 1534.5 5,925 < $500 94.2 34.5 36.3 2931.4 6,485
Commenters advocating that the Board set the threshold higher than
FOOTNOTE 21 See 12 U.S.C. 601(4) (permitting agencies to establish one or more definitions that "are appropriate to the activities of the agency"). END FOOTNOTE
In the context of the SBA's broad mandate covering a host of industries, a
With respect to commenters advocating alternative criteria for the RFA definition, the Board continues to believe that an asset threshold is the best and most transparent measurement for NCUA's RFA definition. Using an asset threshold is consistent with size standards that appear elsewhere in the FCU Act and NCUA regulations. Further, regardless of a FICU's business model, the Board believes the total assets measurement remains the principal comparative tool that the industry uses to determine a FICU's relative size.
b. The Review Period
The final rule sets an initial review period of two years, but it retains the three-year period from the proposed rule for subsequent reviews. The majority of commenters either expressly supported the proposed review period or did not advocate for an alternative period. As stated in the proposal, a three-year review period provides a reasonable time within which to discern new trends in percentage, loss, and risk data. In addition, a three-year period is consistent with the longstanding review period NCUA uses for all its regulations. It provides sufficient time to avoid the uncertainty of a continuous cycle of rulemakings and policy adjustments that a shorter period could create.
Finally, a three-year period will provide more frequent review than that required of the SBA, which several commenters referenced. Under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (Jobs Act), the SBA must review at least one-third of its size standards in 18-month intervals, starting from date the Jobs Act was enacted, with no longer than five-year review periods thereafter. /23/ Reviewing one-third of size standards at 18-month intervals would bring each standard up for SBA review every 4.5 years. The Board will initially review the size standards in this rule, however, within two years of its effective date. After that, the Board will review the standards every three years. The Board believes a shorter initial review period is appropriate given the time passed since the threshold was last reviewed and updated.
c. The Interest Rate Risk and Risk-Based Net Worth Rules
This final rule adopts a
In addition, the final rule exempts FICUs of
In general, incremental risk elevation will accompany the exclusion of more FICUs from regulations aimed principally at reducing risk. The Board believes the incremental risk presented by raising the regulatory thresholds to
The proposed rule's preamble acknowledged that FICU loss history since 1998 shows that even FICUs with somewhat more than

IV. Regulatory Procedures
A. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The RFA requires NCUA to prepare an analysis to describe any significant economic impact a final rule may have on a substantial number of small entities (defined in this final rule and IRPS as credit unions with under
With respect to additional FICUs covered by the RFA for future regulations, the final rule and IRPS provides prospective relief in the form of special and more robust consideration of their ability to handle compliance burden. This prospective relief is not quantifiable. Accordingly, NCUA has determined and certifies that the final rule and IRPS will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. No regulatory flexibility analysis is required.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 (PRA), applies to rulemakings in which an agency creates a new paperwork burden on regulated entities or modifies an existing burden. For purposes of the PRA, a paperwork burden may take the form of either a reporting or a recordkeeping requirement, both referred to as information collections. This final rule's changes to 12 CFR 702.103 and 741.3(b)(5) will cause an immediate and prospective reduction in paperwork burden related to PCA requirements and interest rate risk policies for FICUs between
C. Executive Order 13132
Executive Order 13132 encourages independent regulatory agencies to consider the impact of their actions on state and local interests. NCUA, an independent regulatory agency as defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(5), voluntarily complies with the Executive Order to adhere to fundamental federalism principles. This final rule and IRPS does not have a substantial direct effect on the states, on the relationship between the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. NCUA has determined that this final rule does not constitute a policy that has federalism implications for purposes of the Executive Order.
D. Assessment of Federal Regulations and Policies on Families
NCUA has determined that this final rule and IRPS will not affect family well-being within the meaning of Section 654 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act of 1999, Public Law 105-277.
E. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act
The Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, Public Law 104-121, provides generally for congressional review of agency rules. A reporting requirement is triggered in instances where NCUA issues a final rule as defined in the Administrative Procedure Act. /25/ NCUA believes this final rule is not a major rule for purposes of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act, but a determination from the

Dolly Parton Slot Machines to Debut in Las Vegas
Global icon Dolly Parton has teamed with IGT (International Game Technology) to incorporate her chart-topping hits in both video slot and five-reel spinning reel games for casinos. "Dolly Parton Video Slots," along with "Two Doors Down" and "Nine to Five Spinning Reels" feature interactive jukebox-style song selections, big bonus action and front-row concert experiences all with Dolly cheering the player along.
"As you know, I love doing lots of different things and this is the most different thing that I've done so far," says the superstar entertainer. "I'm very excited to be working with IGT with my very own video slot machines and five reel spinning reel games. Wanna play? Well, come on!"
The new gaming machines will make their debut at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) 2012 in Las Vegas from Oct. 2-4.
"IGT's unrivaled game experiences and localized content has made our games the most sought after on casino floors today," says Eric Tom, IGT executive vice president of Global Sales. "At G2E, our new portfolio will drive unmatched performance for our casino customers. From the excitement of Dolly Parton Slots and the classic action of our new spinning reel and video slot titles to revolutionary game play of our skill-based titles and 3D Multi Layer Display (MLD) technology, we will premiere the fan favorites of the future."
The slot machines are just the latest venture this year to incorporate Dolly as a key feature. In addition to her gold-certified live CD/DVD, and her upcoming book, "Dream More: Celebrate the Dreamer in You," the award-winning documentary "Hollywood to Dollywood," featuring 17 of Dolly's songs, recently made its theatrical debut New York and Los Angeles. While she continues to work on the Broadway musical based on her storybook life, one project, the Nashville water park Dolly announced earlier this year, appears to be on hold for now.

NEW YORK — Dish Network's agreement to buy Blockbuster's assets out of bankruptcy could keep the movie-rental chain and its blue-and-gold logo from disappearing.
But whether the No. 3 pay TV company can use Blockbuster's brand, stores and streaming-video capabilities to create services more relevant to the age of Netflix and Hulu remains to be seen.
Dish, headed by billionaire Charles Ergen, won a two-day bankruptcy auction for Blockbuster that stretched into the early hours of Wednesday morning with a bid valued at $228 million in cash.
When Blockbuster filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September, it was down to 3,000 stores, less than a third of the peak of 9,100 in 2004. There are about 2,400 currently open, with plans to close about 700 more by mid April.
Dish has so far been mum about specific plans for Blockbuster, but in its announcement, the company highlighted the 1,700 stores that will remain and "multiple methods of delivery."
Dish spokeswoman Francie Bauer said the company would not comment further since the deal must receive bankruptcy court approval.
A hearing for that approval is set for today. Dish expects the deal to close in the second quarter.
Satellite TV providers have been losing new subscribers as cheaper alternatives like Hulu and Netflix become more popular.
Ergen has in past calls with analysts praised Netflix, which offers unlimited streaming video at a monthly price along with a DVD-by-mail service.
Acquiring Blockbuster will make Dish a more viable competitor in streaming video online. It's doing so at a price easily affordable for Dish, which had nearly $3 billion in cash as of Dec. 31.
Dish beat out billionaire investor Carl Icahn and a group of debt holders for the Dallas movie-rental chain.
Some thought Dish would keep at least some stores open.
"In order to get the most from the investment, Dish Network needs to keep the Blockbuster brand top of mind with consumers, and that means in kiosks in drug stores and physical store locations," Wall Street Strategies analyst Brian Sozzi said.
But others thought a total liquidation might be a possibility.
"Dish has zero retail capability at present, and therefore lacks the scale or synergies to benefit from the operation of Blockbuster retail stores," Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said.
Either way, Dish is gambling the deal can help reinvent the company as consumers' TV and movie-watching habits evolve.
The company, with 14.1 million subscribers, is facing a maturing pay-TV industry as more TV and movie watchers go online or subscribe to services like Hulu and Netflix.
In 2010, new Dish subscribers fell 2 percent, hurt by aggressive discounts by competitors as satellite TV players duke it out for subscribers.
Dish offers video-on-demand and pay-per-view to its satellite TV customers, but its Web service at dishonline.com is only in testing and is limited compared with Blockbuster's.

Can you id this car for me ?
Hi all
was wondering if someone would be able to id this car out of an old photo for me ? a distant family member has said its a 1910 rolls royce ghost...but the bonnets look different ( im no car expert!) i know the photo is 1910-15, from the rough ages of them at the time.
ok i don tknow what im doing wrong on the photo aspect :/
but its on http://www.flickr.com/photos/65204255@N03/8526879891/in/photostream
Doesn't look like a Rolls Royce to me - the front is quite different and the whole car looks too small.
Looks like a Renault to me. If only that chap at the front would move out of the way a bit, we could see if it had a 'coal scuttle' bonnet! I think the radiator is behind the bonnet and up against the windscreen like most Renault cars of this era.
I disagree with Zagato about the Renault theory, that looks like a regular curved panel rather than a radiator below the windscreen, and anyway a Renault of the era would have a flat top on the bonnet.
It's got me digging though, still poring over various books, but nothing found yet.

They do really seem to have taken over now don't they?
The Spammers that is.
So, the system we have here is not working, right?
When it gets to where there are more spams and junk mail than genuine posts it would seem the website/forum/webmaster/moderators or whoever has failed.
Sorry, but it seems now that the regulars are staying away by the busload while the annoying crap increases.
(I doubt there is anyone left interested enough to comment though!)
This is a
very useful article, which will be very useful to me as well because i have no
knowledge about the article. Now i am very useful to you because you have
posted me a such kind of handy article. Thanks a lot mate.

Los Alamos, NM
Medicine in Civil War Was Crude
By Diana Heil
Journal Staff Writer
Oh, to remember the days of "laudable pus." Pus forming on the body
after an operation was a sign of health - or so Civil War surgeons
mistakenly thought - rather than a bacterial infection that could kill
the soldier.
Had Civil War medicine understood the nature of germs, disposable
dressings and rags could have saved thousands of lives, speculates Dr.
Robert E. Mallin.
"The surprising part was how bad things can be without the germ
theory," he said, referring to his research into Civil War medicine,
as a small group gathered at the Pecos National Historical Park
visitors center Saturday.
Of the estimated 650,000 soldiers who died, most were struck down by
disease and infection, Mallin said. Only one-third died as a result of
combat wounds.
Pecos National Historical Park is hosting Mallin's talks and other
activities this weekend in recognition of the 140th anniversary of the
Civil War Battle at Glorieta Pass.
A retired plastic surgeon with no family connections to the war,
Mallin's fascination for historical medicine deepened on his 50th
birthday when he unwrapped a cherry wood box of Civil War surgical
instruments. Today, the kit, which a veteran passed down through an
Albuquerque family, is valued at $10,000.
Mallin is a 62-year-old New York native who lives in Eldorado. If he
can get his hands on ground-penetrating X-ray technology, he would
like to search the Pecos area for a cache of amputated arms and legs.
Some 43 amputations occurred in this region alone, where a couple of
thousand soldiers fought on both sides. The March 26-28, 1862, battle
left more than 300 dead. The Confederate force of Texans retreated to
the south after Union soldiers destroyed their supply train.
The odds of surviving an amputation were far greater if the limb was
removed the day an injury was sustained. Sometimes doctors waited as
long as 10 days for pus to bubble around the wound, then sliced
through it to the bone. From this delayed method, two-thirds of
amputees died, Mallin said.
Amputations required four people: one to hold down the soldier and
another to anesthetize the soldier with ether or chloroform. Still
another was needed to peel back the skin and muscle and expose the
bone. Then there was the surgeon, who whacked off the limb.
"It wasn't bite the bullet or take a shot of whiskey," Mallin said.
Mallin brandished a variety of amputation knives. One was
nickel-plated and dated to 1864. Another looked like a hack saw with
an ebony wooden handle. Smaller knives were designed for fingers and
"In the Civil War, 70 percent of the operations were amputations,"
Mallin said.
In those days, all physicians were called surgeons. They studied two
years of medicine at the most, then obtained practical experience in
the field when drafted. It stands to reason that many a surgeon was
court-martialed for malpractice, he said.
"Then there were some flat-out quacks. The West was good at that,"
Mallin added.
Few of the U.S. Army surgeons who died in the Civil War were shot.
Instead, malaria and the soldiers' infectious diseases caused their
A veteran himself, Mallin spent 1966-1967 as a squadron surgeon during
the Vietnam War. He was drafted fresh from his medical internship. In
the field, he patched wounds and shipped soldiers to a board-certified
surgeon. Mallin was shot in the leg and returned to the United States
with a Purple Heart.
19th century medicine
During the Civil War, "bleed, purge and puke" was the procedure of
choice, he said.
Mallin held up a bleeding knife with three blades for different-size
"That's a real bleeding knife," he said. "You'd puff up a vein and
give it a slice."
A racing heart and fever meant a soldier had too much blood, or so
physicians believed. The doctor would open a vein and let out 16
ounces or so of blood.
For stitches, Northern doctors used silk, whereas Southern doctors
used cotton or horse hair.
When soldiers swung sabers, they chopped from the enemy's head down.
Skull, shoulder and collarbone injuries often resulted.
Surgeons pulled the scalp apart with a retractor, cut around the
fracture with a tomahawk-shaped tool called a Hays saw, drilled
through the bone with a corkscrew called a trephine and then elevated
the bone to relieve the pressure.
The procedure was considered a success if blood - and no brains -
rushed out, Mallin said.
Bullets often pulled bacteria into a soldier's body. Mind you, troops
changed their wool uniforms every two to four weeks and took a full
bath only once a month.
But the war did produce some medical progress, Mallin said.
"By mid-Civil War, they decided to treat diseases and not symptoms,"
he said. "The germ theory was ebbing in."
Vast numbers of soldiers came home addicted to pain-killers such as
opium, heroine, cocaine and alcohol. Yet somehow they managed to
rebuild this country, noted Mallin.

Wellsville Daily Reporter Names New General Manager
Gatehouse Media Senior Group Publisher Jim Murphy has named Wellsville native Michael McKinley as the new general manager of the Wellsville Daily Reporter. McKinley takes over for Oak Duke, who is retiring at the end of this month.
"Mike is a familiar face to many of our readers," said Murphy. "He shined in a previous role here as our circulation manager. He is community-focused in the same way Oak has been. The Daily Reporter is in good hands to continue and build on Oak's legacy."
After several business ventures, McKinley returned to Wellsville and was named circulation director at The Daily Reporter.
Now, Duke is handing the reins of The Daily Reporter over to McKinley.
"We worked hard and played hard and yet put out an amazingly high-quality product every day for our customers, despite all the changes," said Duke of his career. "I am sure that this tradition of hard work and fun, that started long before me here, will continue under Mike's guidance."

Emergency services were busy attending multiple crashes in Clinton, Owaka, Balclutha, Dunedin and Waikouaiti.
''Wet roads and then a late frost meant the roads looked wet but were actually frosty, so a lot of people got caught out,'' Senior Sergeant Dave Scott, of Dunedin, said.
''We were saying to people to leave a bit later for work and be aware that the roads might look just wet but there is black ice everywhere.''
Emergency services attended eight crashes between 8am-9.30am, including a 4WD roll-over on SHI, near Waihola.
Luckily the crashes resulted in only minor injuries, he said.
''It just looks like unfavourable conditions, road crews have been out there throughout the night, but they can't be everywhere at once.''
Police urged motorists to watch their speed and following distances.
There is ice on many roads in the South this morning, including: SH8 - the Lindis Pass; SH6 - Athol-Lumsden; SH97 - Mossburn-Five Rivers.
Roading authorities yesterday warned motorists black ice would be the main concern this morning, after snow made a fleeting appearance in much of the region.
Residents throughout Otago reported snow and sleet showers during the day, along with icy temperatures, but little snow remained by nightfall.
Central Otago District Council roading manager Julie Muir said the wet weather and freezing temperatures were likely to result in widespread black ice overnight and today, so motorists should take extra care.
''It's what we expect in Central Otago this time of year and the grit trucks will be out overnight. We're not panicked about the snowfall, which is fairly light, but drivers should watch out for black ice,'' Ms Muir said.
Snow fell in Queenstown for about an hour yesterday morning before turning to occasional showers. Sergeant Tracy Haggart, of Queenstown, said there had been three weather-related crashes since Tuesday, two resulting in minor injuries.
The Queenstown Lakes District Council reported all roads in its network were open. However, chains had to be carried on the Crown Range road and with snow forecast down to 300m overnight, two trucks were to patrol the road throughout the night.
Glenorchy Hotel manager Tim Brownie said it snowed in the village for about three hours yesterday from late morning.
The weather prompted many tourists to visit Glenorchy instead of going skiing.
''There's lots of Australians in town,'' he said.
Geoffrey Thomson, of Mount Earnslaw Station, said the property had ''got off pretty lightly'' from the cold snap, with only a dusting of snow down to about 2500m on the tops.
However, he had recorded more than 50mm since the weekend.
Snow closed the Lindis Pass road about 5pm yesterday. During the day, snow fell in the mountains around Wanaka but with mainly clear skies over the town.
Although temperatures ranged between 7degC in Oamaru and 3degC at Twizel, with an even lower wind chill factor from a chilly southwest wind, coastal and inland areas of North Otago were without snow yesterday afternoon.
High-country areas of Oamaru and Twizel had no snow at that stage, while Tekapo had patches of a light dusting on surrounding hills.
Ohau Snow Fields and Round Hill ski areas were receiving snow.
Long-time Naseby resident Stuart Hore said the town had a coating of about 2.5cm of snow yesterday - ''barely an inch, so we've got off fairly lightly but we're not complaining''. However, the temperature outdoors was ''struggling'' to stay above zero, he said.
''That must be good news for the [Naseby ice] luge. If they make some snow on the track now, it'll stick around.''
Snow and sleet showers fell throughout Central Otago and the Clutha district in the early afternoon, but apart from a light dusting in the Maniototo, there was no snow lying in the rest of those areas by early evening.

The International Olympic Committee's (IOC) executive board has recommended that wrestling, a sport that has, of late, given India a toehold on the winner's podium, be axed from the 2020 Games. A final decision is yet to be taken, but a Reuters report suggests that the sport will eventually go.
The impending exit of wrestling, one of the oldest Olympic sports, shouldn't be seen as a ploy to do India out of medals it would have won in 2020. India's recent successes on the mat have encouraged hundreds of young people to take up the sport, but it is the US that is the most successful in wrestling, in terms of Olympic medals.
Instead, the exit of wrestling from the Olympics should be seen as an act of fate, although India would do well to lobby the powers-that-be to change their mind. Then, that can't happen when the country's Olympic body isn't even recognized by IOC.

What makes a mare a difficult breeder? (Proceedings)
Horse breeding is the procedure by which an adequate number of sperm are deposited into the uterus of a "healthy" mare at the right time. Although semen deposition is performed in all breeds by natural cover (NC), it is often, and with increasing frequency done artificially. Although the main difference between natural breeding and artificial insemination (AI) is the delivery method of semen into the uterus, many factors determine the success or failure of the breeding. Natural breeding, if performed properly, should not be considered a cheap alternative to artificial insemination. Many horse breeders are of the opinion that if the mare does not become pregnant by AI, turning her out with a stallion to be pasture bred or natural mating will maximize the chances of establishing a pregnancy. In my opinion, a mare that fails to become pregnant by AI with good semen quality and does so by natural cover without human intervention, is an example of poor or inadequate breeding management by the personnel performing the AI. Our ability to differentiate between physiologic and pathologic conditions and to establish appropriate therapies is a hallmark of those of us that practice reproductive medicine, and should be the basis for proper reproductive management.
Breeding management includes: 1) Diagnostic procedures to determine the soundness for breeding of both male and female, 2) Necessary therapies pre and post breeding, and 3) Determination of the optimal time for insemination. This paper will discuss managerial procedures as well as address some common problems that veterinarians encounter when breeding mares by artificial insemination.
Stallion diagnostic proceduresBefore deciding what stallion to breed a particular mare, it is important to determine whether the semen will be fresh, cooled or frozen. If cooled semen is chosen, collection and shipping schedules, as well as sperm longevity and stallion fertility need to be determined. If the mare is to be bred with frozen semen, semen quality after thawing as well as historical fertility of the frozen semen should be established. If possible, one should work with experienced laboratories that have a good reputation for freezing stallion sperm. If no information about the semen can be obtained, one may assume that the semen will be of mediocre to poor quality. Unfortunately, mare owners spend weeks, months or even years settling on a stallion that "best suits" their mare with little or no regard for semen quality. Because of this habit, veterinarians must educate owners on the pitfalls of using cooled or frozen semen, explain the added costs of these techniques and clearly present realistic pregnancy rates per attempt.
Due to the processing of semen, some of the heterogeneity of the raw ejaculate is lost, and this relatively physiologically homogeneous sample, coupled with the reduction in sperm numbers requires that the semen be deposited in the uterus close to the time of ovulation. Fertility of cooled and frozen semen from stallions ranges greatly,1,2 although the quality of frozen semen has been improving steadily over the last few years. The veterinarian serving the mare owner rarely has control of the quality of the shipped cooled or frozen semen so the breeding management prior to and after insemination is the most important tool that a veterinarian has to establish a pregnancy in a given mare.
Mare diagnostic procedures
Age and reproductive history are probably the most important pieces of information that a veterinarian needs when examining a mare. Many mare owners unrealistically expect that that their mare should become pregnant at the first cycle regardless of her age or reproductive history. These expectations are extremely common when the mare has had a long and successful performance career, is 10 years or older and is still a maiden. Clinical findings common to the older maiden mare include accumulation of uterine fluid during estrus, wide spread endometrial glandular dilation, anovulatory hemorrhagic follicles and cervical incompetence resulting in a failure to relax either due to fibrotic changes or adhesions.
Mares in their mid-teen years start to have a reduction in their fertility potential and therefore must be considered potential candidates for repeat breeding.
So how should we define a problem breeder? I consider that a mare is a problem breeder when she has been bred in two consecutive cycles with good quality semen and at the appropriate time. Signs that a mare is a candidate for potential problems could include one or all of the following: 1) Irregular inter-ovulatory intervals (too long or too short), 2) Presence of free fluid in the uterus before and/or after insemination, 3) Increased uterine edema after insemination, or 4) Presence or persistence of marked endometrial edema post-ovulation.

Gambling: Financial fun or costly excess?
During January, millions of people will be attempting to curtail their vices by keeping to new year resolutions.
Stopping smoking or reducing excess drinking will be on the wish list for many, but you are unlikely to hear friends and family announce they have decided to quit a gambling habit.
According to the Office of National Statistics, the amount people are gambling is rising and it is feared that for some, the habit is getting out of control.

PARIS (Jul. 4)
Israeli Finance Minister Simcha Ehrlich, said in an interview published here today that he was "rather pleased" that Israel and the American Jewish lobby had failed to black the sale of U.S. combat jets to Saudi Arabia and Egypt because that would have led to a bitter confrontation with Washington.
Ehrlich, who is a leader of the Liberal Party wing of Likud, told the private news bulletin, La Lettre de Danielle Huneballe: "I am not in tears over the sale. In retrospect I am rather pleased that both we and the American Jewish lobby failed to block it. It is preferable to a confrontation with the Carter Administration which would have caused hard feelings and bitterness and hurt us in the long run. "But Ehrlich did not think that President Carter's National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski was a friend of Israel."Thank heaven we have better ones, "he said in response to a question.
Ehrlich, in the same interview, also said that Israel "will not return to Geneva. We don't want to see the Soviets involved once again (in the peace process), "he said and "neither Egypt nor the U.S. wants to see them involved again."He was referring, apparently, to Carter's remark last Friday that if Israel and Egypt failed to resume their peace talks and if American mediation efforts failed, the Mideast problem would revert to the United Nations and the Geneva conference.
Ehrlich said a separate peace with Egypt "is not only desirable but also possible" and that Israel was ready to sign one. He conceded that President Anwar Sadat may not want to sign a separate peace "but he certainly has the means to do so."

Comments about Lynskey Performance 2015 Lynskey Helix Road Frame and Fork:
I bought this frame/fork (I'm 5'10" and ML fits perfectly with a 100cm stem) from Nashbar and built it up with Dura Ace drivetrain and wheelset, Elite handlebars, thompson stem/seatpost, and a cane creek headset. The only headache was getting the Dura Ace crankset on - I had to buy a very specific bottom bracket that wasn't very easy to find. Other than that, the bike is outstanding.I had it up to 45 mph a couple of weeks ago on a century ride in the Appalachians and felt incredibly confident in the machine - no buzz at all. It corners like it's on rails and has that "fast" feel while sprinting and climbing, particularly when out of the saddle. It strikes an excellent balance between comfort and stiffness, and I have a feeling this is going to be my bike of choice out of an ever-expanding stable for decades to come.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Sweet ride
By RoMa
from Santa Clarita, CA
Great bike. Bought mine direct from Don Irwin at Lynskey. The ride is a little more forgiving versus the Moots Vamoots. On my bike, the welds were flawless. I've put 3,000 miles on the bike. The one minor flaw would be having to re-pack the bottom bracket at 2.300 miles. I had a 2014 for a short time. The 2015 is better due to the top tube design.My 25MM Continental Gran Prix II clinchers do clear. However, it is a little tight. The chain stay bridge also makes things a little tight. However, all is great.You can't beat the deal! This bike will last a lifetime.

Well I am one week in to marathon training using the Hanson's Marathon Method.
Only 17 more weeks to go! This week, I ran 34 miles!
No "long run", instead I ran 8 miles at noon on Saturday, on the first day of summer in Atlanta. You might be surprised to hear it was PLEASANT. Apparently, it was 79, relatively low humidity at about 65%.
Let me back up to earlier in the week: Wednesday night, realized I didn't have 2 weeks before starting to train for the marathon. I had 12 hours!! I had just run 5.5 miles at 9:20 average pace in the 85 degree weather, with a lot of humidity.
Thursday, I get back out there, begrudgingly, because I knew that the plan said to take Wednesday off. I had also run Monday (4 mi, 8:53 pace) and Tuesday (5 mi, 9:15 pace), too.... I do my 6 miles... and it was painfully slow. But, I remembered, I NEED to go slow, I think I pushed too hard on Monday and again on Tuesday/ Wednesday I didn't ease back enough for the weather and therefore I was hurting. I ran 6 miles in AN HOUR. That felt incredibly slow to me.
Friday... whooopdee doo... I ran again. 6 miles. Again, slow! 10:30 pace... All these runs were after work. Long days at work.
So Friday night, I ended up crashing on the couch before 9pm. I slept excellently! I woke up saturday and cleaned because I was trying to also make coffee and my breakfast before getting myself out the door, and thinking I"d be a zombie once I finished my run, I wanted to get it done first.
The run...was awesome. It was warm, I was sweaty and I got some sun (I wore sunscreen, of course!) but I actually managed 9:20 pace for 8 miles. At the end of the week.
The best part of it all? I realize that the reason I'm better, that I"m happier, that I'm pushing myself better... is because of the way I talk to myself.
I caught myself saying "ease back on the pace, babe"... I mean, the internal coaching voice I sometimes use on myself. That's not weird, right? It is also the same voice that says "ok, you can only hit snooze ONE more time" or the "ehh, your hair looks ok, you don't need to wash it today" haha. For serious. I realized the key to my recent success... my internal voice is no longer saying "hurry up fat@ss!" or "come one b*tch!" or "you're a lazy m-f-er! go run!" Telling yourself to do things in loving tones, is actually way more effective. It is almost embarassing to admit that I'd treat myself that poorly, in my own head. I thought it would be motivational, but in fact it is very de-motivating.
I mean it makes sense! They say you should talk to yourself like you would a friend. I do that, now. I respect my body, I no longer starve myself on minimal calories while running 40 miles a week... I no longer hate my body. I wish I would've realized this sooner... But better late than never.
I love myself (in a non-narcisstic way), and while it has been awhile since I've been abusive to myself... I still have the tendency to want to slip back in to that. One of the best things I've learned that is easier said than done? You have to love yourself before anyone else can. So true. I love who I am. I am imperfect, but I love my imprefections. On to week 2!
And here is a very beautiful, albeit short trail that I like to go with my boyfriends dog. Isn't Atlanta beautiful!?

Just thinking out loud here.
If Greg Robinson is brought back as SU's head football coach, there has been a lot of speculation that the money still owed him and his assistants (said to be about $3 million) is a major reason why.
I certainly don't have a marketing degree and don't pretend to be an expert on the subject, but if money is as tight as it is proclaimed to be, then perhaps SU needs to cut back on doing things like putting ads on taxicabs in New York City, billboards in Times Square, and things of that nature.

As our good friends at Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician tell us after a recent trip to the N-Y-C, that marketing campaign may not be working so well.
Speaking of NYC, those taxi cab banners really seem to have paid off. I think I saw at least three Syracuse shirts in two days in Manhattan. That's like more than one a day!
I get that you have to try to be different in today's sports marketplace and since the product on the field isn't exactly filling seats at the Carrier Dome and putting eyeballs on the TV, Daryl Gross has to do what he can to sell the program.
That said, even with all the new and fancy ways there are to advertise these days, there is no greater marketing tool than good old fashioned wins. Perhaps we should be focusing on that.
Or as Dennis Miller used to say, "that's just my opinion, I could be wrong."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
They were born outside, but were rescued when they were a few weeks old. Because they are so attached to each other their rescue mom wanted to keep them together. Unfortunately no one wanted two girls that kitten season, and like all cats do they grew up and now each year they watch the new kittens get adopted but they are sitll in foster care.
If you can find it in your heart to give these girls a home, they would make a wonderful addition to your family.
Pls call Maria 732.261.8944 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Ashley, a Barnegat Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Barnegat, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Barnegat.

HOMELESSNESS is getting worse but hope could lie in the power of love, social media and good food, a meeting heard tonight.
The event, organised by the Winchester Churches Nightshelter, heard the recession continues to drive up numbers of people without a permanent roof over their heads.
But it also heard Peter Cockersell, director of health and recovery at St Mungo's homeless charity in London, say that a lack of love was a major barrier for the homeless. "Everyone needs to be the sparkle in someone else's eye," he said.
He said he thought there was a shift in thinking in the search for answers.
Mr Cockersell, also a Winchester resident, said psychotherapy, to deal with the "compound trauma" that most homeless people have experienced, was showing signs of success.
"But people are a bit afraid of using the word 'love'. There is increasing recognition that people who become chronically homeless are coming from a different background to someone who has had a economic life event. There is more we can do to help people recover," he said.
The internet could also be a way of helping to end the sense of isolation for many homeless people.
Dr Caral Stevenson said research was indicating social networking helped homeless drug users keep in touch with friends and that the internet in general was helping them deal with substance misuse issues.
The meeting also heard that research by Ali McKay, the Nightshelter's food coordinator, showed the importance of nutritious food in maintaining people's health.
Food could help engender a sense of community, help with skills building such as cooking and budgeting.
Held to mark Homelessness Week, almost 100 people attended at the Winchester Discovery Centre.
Michele Price, Nightshelter manager, said a new advocacy service was successful, with volunteers accompanying shelter guests on visits to GPs or the Job Centre.
The recent cold weather had seen campbeds erected in the normally 17-bed shelter to allow more people to stay.
Meanwhile the nightshelter now has a twitter account: @winshelter.

PC Prices On The Rise? Thank Apple For That
After seven straight quarters of falling prices, the average price of PCs went up slightly in the third quarter, as consumers shelled out more for higher-end computers with features not already found on their smartphones and tablets.
According to Gartner, the average selling price (ASP) of PCs sold went up in the third quarter by 1.4 percent for desktop PCs, and 2.1 percent for mobile PCs, a category that includes netbooks but not tablets. Similarly, figures from NPD (first reported in the Wall Street Journal) found the ASP of PCs this year had gone up six percent to $615.
According to Park Associates, the ASP of computers in the fourth quarter was $716 for desktops, $728 for laptops and $334 for netbooks.
It would be inaccurate to conclude that PC prices are increasing, however; instead, the figures suggest that users are spending more money on their PC purchases.
Which begs the question: why?
Naturally, a recovering economy has a lot to do with this. Thanks to bargain-basement deals of 2008-2009, most households now own at least two PCs, analysts say. Combine this with smartphone penetration and consumers are demanding much more from their PCs.
"Last year it was about having a cheap PC. The most growth [in product launches] came from the $299-500 price range," said Joel Santo Domingo, PCMag's lead analyst for desktops. "People just wanted a cheap third or fourth PC."
"Then as smartphones became more popular, people would end up with 250 photos to upload and discovered that their $300 notebook just wouldn't cut it," Santo Domingo added. "For a few hundred dollars more, people realized they could buy models with much more storage and better processors. These demands on the PC will only go up as more people start shooting videos."
"We really have to keep an eye on the mid- to high-price range of computers," Mika Kitagawa, a PC analyst for Gartner, echoed. "Consumers are no longer willing to go with the lowest price models for their family PCs. They want primary PCs with content creation, video editing, bigger hard-drives, faster processors, etc. Our working assumption is that consumers will keep their family PCs, but each already has a connective device, be it a media tablet or a smartphone that can perform many tasks."
For instance, expanding your wallet can upgrade you from a tolerable Dell Inspiron 537s, to a better-performing HP Pavilion p6537c-b or the Velocity Micro Vector Campus Edition, which comes with a quad-core processor and built-in 3D graphics card.
Another (expected) factor: Apple. This year, Apple generated record PC revenues, pulling up the overall ASP this year.
"Any increase in volume that Apple experiences leads to growth in overall industry pricing," Baker said. "But Apple doesn't drive prices of Windows-based computers."
The Apple iPad all but made netbooks obselete, Baker added. "This year people realized that the Apple iPad does as much or more than many netbooks, plus the iPad is faster, more portable, and looks sexier when in use," he said.
Perhaps hoping to take a bite out of Apple's success, 2010 has seen some unusually high-end launches by traditionally low-end manufacturers.
Hewlett-Packard expanded its high-end Envy lineup with notebooks starting from $999. The aluminum-clad HP Envy 14 and 3D-enabled Envy 17 feature a slot-loading optical drive, back-lit keyboard, glass screen and super fast components -and four-figure pricetags that make the Apple Macbook Pro seem accessible.
Asus, better known for its wallet-friendly netbooks than premium technology, unveiled the Bang & Olufsen co-developed Asus NX90JQ-A1 in November. At the same time it launched one of the cheapest tablets on the market: the $230 Eee Note EA-800, and announced some cheap, upcoming Windows and Android tablets in the pipeline.
"Now that mini-notebook sales have dropped, Asus is trying to position itself as a premium product like Sony, instead of as a low-priced leader," said Kitagawa.
Manufacturers have more to gain by enriching their products. Generally, Kitagawa said, profit margins are higher for higher-end models than for low-end ones. According to NPD's Baker, PC margins have not wavered much from 40 percent.
During the worst of the downturn, computer makers would slash prices to generate volume. But now that the economic environment is improving, and the market is "saturated" with computers, Baker doesn't think manufacturers can rely on a price war.
"There isn't all that much room left to reduce costs," Baker said. "The impact of the price change on the volume opportunities becomes less and less."

PESHAWAR, Nov 15: The doctors of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Thursday set a two-week deadline for implementation of service structure and acceptance of their demands and warned that if government did not fulfil their demands they will go on strike across the province.
Provincial Doctors Association president Dr Abdul Qadar while speaking at a press conference at Peshawar Press Club on Thursday said that the government was not sincere in meeting their demands given and using delaying tactics.
He said that a service structure had been drafted but it was yet to be implemented and that was why unrest among the doctors community was increasing with each passing day.
Flanked by PDA chairman Dr Shahsawar and others, he said that the draft had been pending in the finance and establishment departments for the last two years but the relevant officials of health department were least bothered to solve the matter.
He said that in case the service structure was not implemented, it would affect at least 1,000 doctors.
Under the proposed new service structure, he said, around 42 doctors of BSP-19 would be upgraded to BSP-20, while about 363 to 500 doctors would get promotion from grade 18 to 19 otherwise they would retire in the same grade.
Dr Shahsawar said that the government should take practical steps for implementation of the service structure instead of raising hollow slogans. He said doctors were playing important role in the prevailing situation in the province.
"We want a proper service structure and incentives to deliver better health services in the province," he demanded and said that in this uncertain situation doctors had the only option to go on strike.
Besides, he also condemned the kidnapping of Dr Aziz, saying that government had completely failed to provide security to doctors' community. He said they had raised the issue several times with the authorities concerned but to no avail.

U can't train a fighter to beat mayweather, it takes a certain type of fighter, the type of fighter who gave floyd the most problems were technical pressure fight who bang to the body and work behind a jab and have respectable power, jlc, miguel cotto, oscar although he was wasn't a infighter he tried and wasn't succescful because that's not his style of fighting, but as we speak their no fighter and hasn't been since floyd made his run that is an elite inside fighter besides cotto who we all know been on the decline since his beating from margarito, if I had to pick a type of fighter to beat him it would be along the lines of julio cesar chavez and roberto duran, just my opinion

Legendary bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) — whose home in Los Angeles was broken into and burglarized last month — has posted the following message on his official web site:"Firstly I want to thank all of you who have sent messages to me this last week. We are all okay and we really appreciate all your kind thoughts. "We spent Christmas eve with Chad [Smith, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer], Nancy [Chad's wife] and Cole [Chad and Nancy's son] in Malibu and we just laughed our asses off. We were driving around in a golf cart looking for Santa. "I hope you all have a fabulous 2007. "Once again, I want to thank my higher power for giving me one more day on this earth. I count my blessings, I surround myself with loving people and I get completely lost in my music. "As you probably know, I am writing all the time. It is my music that sustains me. My sobriety and the gift of music that God has given to me are the greatest gifts. "I will be playing in many countries in 2007. They will be posted soon. "I will see you on my journey. "Please remember to love one another. "Peace, brothers and sisters." Glenn Hughes' latest solo album, "Music for the Divine", will receive its long-awaited U.S. release on January 30, 2007 via Demolition Records. The CD, which is available now in Europe on Frontiers Records, was recorded in Chad Smith's house in Los Angeles and again features Smith on drums and longtime Glenn Hughes collaborator JJ Marsh on guitar. Also featured are RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS guitarist John Frusciante and Mark Killian, who has provided the string arrangements and keyboards. Glenn recently announced his new touring band as Jeff Kollman on guitar, Mark Mondesir on drums and Anders Olinder on keyboards.

Updated from 10:45 a.m. to include comments from Whole Foods CEO in the tenth paragraph.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- If you thought mobile payments were going away, think again. They're about to get bigger.
San Francisco-based mobile payments company Square has signed a deal with Whole Foods Markets (WFM) to bring Square Register and Square Stand to select Whole Foods stores around the country. Users also can use their smartphones to pay with Square Wallet, making shopping for goods that much easier, faster and convenient.
Whole Foods has approximately 350 stores around the country, and a press release issued Tuesday didn't say how many stores would be part of the initial deal. It did mention that several Whole Foods locations will act as "lab stores," allowing for more testing to improve the customer experience, and respond and react to the changing needs of shoppers' habits.
Venues inside Whole Foods, such as sandwich counters, juice and coffee bars, pizzerias, and beer and wine bars, will allow customers to skip the usual checkout lines for those goods, and thus reduce wait time for customers, as well as potentially increase sales for Whole Foods.
Shares of Whole Foods were higher in Tuesday trading, gaining 0.95% to $55.48 ahead of first-quarter earnings.
"Together with Square, we'll deliver options to expedite checkouts, and we look forward to developing new concepts to further simplify and improve grocery shopping," said Walter Robb, co-CEO of Whole Foods, in the press release. "Square's forward-thinking vision and technology makes them an ideal partner to create a convenient, responsive experience for our customers."

The end-to-end evaluation of distributed systems' quality-of-service (QoS) properties such as performance, reliability, and security has historically occurred late in the software life cycle. As a result, many design flaws that affect QoS aren't found and fixed in a timely and cost-effective manner. Model-driven engineering—particularly, domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) coupled with system execution modeling tools—can enable agile development of distributed systems and facilitate continuous system integration testing to improve quality assurance of QoS properties throughout the software life cycle. For example, the authors have realized such agile techniques in an open-source DSML-based system execution modeling tool called CUTS (Component Workload Emulator [Coworker] Utilization Test Suite). They've used CUTS as a case study to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate how DSML-based system execution modeling tools can support lightweight and adaptable software development and QoS assurance processes.
