"Families hold societies together, and intergenerational relationships extend this legacy over time. This year's International Day of Families is an occasion to celebrate connections among all members of the constellation that makes up a family. It is also an opportunity to reflect on how they are affected by social and economic trends – and what we can do to strengthen families in response."
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's message for 2013
2013: Advancing social integration and intergenerational solidarity

The International Day of Families is observed on the 15th of May every year. The Day was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1993 with resolution A/RES/47/237 and reflects the importance the international community attaches to families. The International Day provides an opportunity to promote awareness of issues relating to families and to increase knowledge of the social, economic and demographic processes affecting families.
In its resolution, the General Assembly also noted that the family-related provisions of the outcomes of the major United Nations conferences and summits of the 1990s and their follow-up processes continue to provide policy guidance on ways to strengthen family-centred components of policies and programmes as part of an integrated comprehensive approach to development.
The International Day of Families has inspired a series of awareness-raising events, including national family days. In many countries, that day provides an opportunity to highlight different areas of interest and importance to families. Activities include workshops and conferences, radio and television programmes, newspaper articles and cultural programmes highlighting relevant themes.

Pommes Dauphinoise (Potatoes au Gratin)
Author Notes: An oldie but a goodie, this hearkens back to my cooking school days, with some thanks also to Julia Child. - Merrill Stubbs
Serves 6
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 pound Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 cups grated Gruyere
- Salt and pepper
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the milk in a small heavy saucepan and peel and smash one of the garlic cloves. Add it to the pot and then heat the milk gently until it starts to bubble at the edges. Remove from the heat and let steep while you continue with the recipe.
- Peel the second garlic clove, cut it in half and rub the cut side around the inside of an oval gratin dish about 9 inches long and 2 inches deep. Rub 1 tablespoon of the butter over the inside of the baking dish.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/8-inch-thick slices (I use a mandoline to get them nice and even), laying the slices on a kitchen towel to drain. Layer about a third of the potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish, fanning them into concentric, overlapping circles. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and sprinkle a third of the cheese over them. Repeat with two more layers of potatoes, salt and pepper and cheese, making the top layer as neat and tidy as you can.
- Remove the garlic clove from the hot milk and pour the milk evenly over the potatoes. Dot the top of the potatoes with the remaining tablespoon of butter and bake the gratin for about 30 minutes, until it's browned and bubbly. Let the potatoes cool for 5 minutes before serving.

I like your recipe and have tried once, the taste is wonderful

Had this saved for a very long time and finally made it. Wow! It was delicious. I had some french lemon-pepper, so I used that instead of regular pepper and it was extra amazing.

Just made this today and my house smells wonderful now :) I used heavy cream instead of milk and added a bit of nutmeg to it while it simmered. Similar to a winter root veggie au gratin recipe I have but this one is such a classic.
5 months ago Kevin French
Made this last night and the family loved it. I used a 50/50 mixture of 2% Milk and Half and Half to try and prevent the curdling. I also baked it at 400 degrees. I still got a fair amount of curdling, but the taste was very good. Will make again.

These sound so good...can't wait to make them for Thanksgiving! Thank you for posting your recipe.
6 months ago procrastibaker
Made this tonight using a 9x12 baking dish, which was just enough room for three layers. Wound up using an extra 1/3c gruyere for the top layer (I am terrible at eyeballing proportions). Used 1c whole milk and 1c cream, which came up to just under the top layer of potatoes. It started to bubble and brown after about 20 minutes, so I turned the heat down to 350 so the potatoes could continue to cook and the milk could boil off a little more, and left it in for another 10 minutes. The milk curdled, but that's likely because I've been using the oven to bake all day and it probably wasn't all the way down to 425 yet. Next time I'll try starting it off at a lower temperature and increasing part of the way through cooking. But ye gods, how tasty.

Can I use other kinds of potatoes?

why did my dish curdle?? I used 1 c 2% milk & 1/2 c cream ...everything else same as recipe. Yummy, but didn't look so good!

It does happen sometimes...You can try starting it at a slightly lower temperature and then raise the heat. I think whole milk would be more stable.
6 months ago I_Fortuna
Heavy cream is the most stable but most milk products including yogurt will curdle and separate if allowed to come to a boil. I always add it last in soup just before or after serving. Can't do that in this recipe so I would use heavy cream and water instead of milk.
6 months ago chickaringo
After many attempts using milk & having it curdle, I found a recipe which uses all heavy cream & 250 to 275 oven temp. Low oven temp+heavy cream=success! Foolproof & delicious.
5 months ago Solitaire
Heavy cream can handle the high temps in this recipe. But, I'd love to know how many minutes you cook this at each of your listed temps? Thanks!

I added thinly sliced onions. Delicious!!

Sounds like a great idea. I'd do the same.

Made these tonight for a room full of foodies. They were simply amazing. I made them about two hours ahead of time and let them sit covered in foil on the stove. While the chicken I made was resting I popped them into the residual heat to warm. I was worried the potatoes would be slightly over cooked, but they were perfection.

Thank you, Merrill! I doubled recipe or Christmas dinner with beef tenderloin, Gorgonzola sauce, roasted asparagus, and an arugula salad with Puckett lemon dressing. Your Pommes Dauphinoise is my new Chistmas classic!

I've been making gratin dauphinois for years...I first found the recipe in my very weathered copy of The Cook's Catalog, which was published in 1975! It's Elizabeth David's recipe, and it include no cheese, but uses heavy cream instead of milk. It's basically the same recipe as this one, except substituting heavy cream for the milk and eliminating the cheese. It never fails to get oohs and aahs....

I'm glad for your comment as I am hungry for this dish but have no gruyere but do have cream!

La isla del tesoroby Robert Louis Stevenson
La isla del tesoro (1883), una vibrante historia sobre la búsqueda de un tesoro enterrado, presenta el bien bajo la forma de Jim, un niño que se ve envuelto en la aventura y que a su vez debe descubrir por sí mismo la cara del bien y del mal entre sus bondadosos amigos y los piratas Pew y Long John Silver.
Kidnappedby Robert Louis Stevenson
Classic coming-of-age story.
Kidnappedby Robert Louis Stevenson
When young David Balfour is orphaned, he discovers some surprising truths about his family. His meeting with his uncle Ebenezer turns out to have disastrous consequences leading to kidnap and imprisonment on board a ship bound for the Carolinas. The voyage is full of incident and, after violent conflict and a shipwreck, David finds himself in a daredevil chase across the Scottish Highlands in the company of the irrepressible warrior Alan Breck Stewart.
The Master of Ballantraeby Andrea Barrett Robert Louis Stevenson
Stevenson's brooding historical romance demonstrates his most abiding theme--the elemental struggle between good and evil--as it unfolds against a hauntingly beautiful Scottish landscape, amid the fierce loyalties and violent enmities that characterized Scottish history. When two brothers attempt to split their loyalties between the warring factions of the 1745 Jacobite rising, one family finds itself tragically divided. Stevenson's remarkably vivid characterizations create an acutely moving, psychologically complex work; as Andrea Barrett points out in her Introduction, "The brothers' characters, not the historical facts, shape the drama."This Modern Library Paperback Classic includes illustrations reproduced from the original edition.From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hydeby Robert Louis Stevenson
A London doctor discovers a drug which can split a person's personality and physical appearance into two distinct parts, good and evil.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Storiesby Robert Louis Stevenson
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series. Idealistic young scientist Henry Jekyll struggles to unlock the secrets of the soul. Testing chemicals in his lab, he drinks a mixture he hopes will isolate--and eliminate--human evil. Instead it unleashes the dark forces within him, transforming him into the hideous and murderous Mr. Hyde. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde dramatically brings to life a science-fiction case study of the nature of good and evil and the duality that can exist within one person. Today Stevenson's novella is recognized as an incisive study of Victorian morality and sexual repression, as well as a great thriller. These original pieces are written with British spellings but not always the traditional British punctuation. This collection also includes some of the author's grimmest short fiction: "Lodging for the Night," "The Suicide Club," "Thrawn Janet," (written in Scottish dialect) "The Body Snatcher," and "Markheim." Included are a timeline of the author's life, a brief history of his life, an in-depth analysis and recap of the title story, discussion questions, further readings, and more. Jenny Davidson is Assistant Professor of eighteenth-century literature and culture in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, The Body Snatcher, Olalla, A Chapter on Dreams (abridged), and Diagnosing Jekyll: The Scientific Context to Dr Jekyll's Experiment and Mr Hyde's Embodiment
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Illustrated Classics Edition)by Robert Louis Stevenson
Dr. Jekyll is a kind and respected man. His friends cannot understand his companionship with the wicked, mysterious Mr. Hyde, who seems to have come from nowhere and yet has a terrible hold on the doctor. Even as Hyde commits crimes that shock all of London, no one can guess how -- or why -- the two men are so close. Only at the very end of this gripping tale is the incredible truth revealed. Adapted by Mitsu Yamamoto.

MPI: High-Tech, High-Touch Meeting Professionals International's Professional Education Conference (PEC), held in late January in Vancouver is a perfect example of how in-person meetings can never be replaced by technology. A technology education track and a live Webcast of the opening and closing sessions were two high-tech highlights, but the experience of the record-breaking 2,185 attendees mingling, networking, learning, and being inspired could hardly be replicated online.
At the meeting, MPI announced new business alliances with several technology partners: PlanSoft Corp., Fusion Productions, broadcast.com, and Eastman Kodak Co.
PlanSoft Corp., creators of the PlanSoft Network, an online database of 5,000 hotels, convention bureaus, and related services worldwide, and Ajenis meeting planning software have a private labeling agreement with MPI, called TechEdge, in which visitors to MPI's Web site have immediate access to the PlanSoft database. Many of the hotels on the Plansoft Network offer panoramic photos of meeting rooms, guest rooms, and public spaces; and complete floor plans of each meeting room. A Request for Proposal service lets users send their meeting dates and specs to the hotels electronically.
Fusion Productions, the creator of MPI's Web site (www.mpi.org) is offering MPI members discounts on other Web-related services, including Web site development.
And Eastman Kodak Co. will provide MPI members with its digital imaging technologies, products, and services.
In Other News MPI also announced its Global Paragon Awards winners, recognizing innovation and creativity in meetings: in Category I, for meetings with expenditures of up to $1,000 per attendee (not including transportation), the National Association of Federal Credit Unions and L&M Production Design won for its 30th Annual Convention & Trade Show in 1997. In Category II, for meetings with expenditures of more than $1,000 per attendee, the winner was the 1997 Apollo Travel and Technology Conference. --Betsy Bair
Vienna, Austria, saw an astounding 77-percent increase in the number of international conferences held last year over 1997, with the United States becoming the top source of meeting business. Figures recently released by the Vienna Convention Bureau show that a total of 400 international meetings were held in Vienna in 1998, with the peak periods being April, August, September, and November, and the average stay 1.93 nights.
This year holds equal promise, as Vienna gears up for a citywide millennium celebration, transforming itself into "the world's largest ballroom" on Dec. 31. A New Year's Trail more than a mile long will be lined with stands serving champagne and snacks, and waltz melodies will fill tents along the stretch. Many of the city's top venues, such as the Hofburg Palace, are quickly selling out, and some of the top hotels in the city are requiring minimum stays of five nights.

They can be accessorized to duplicate the most well-equipped offices, with workstation, LCD television, cellular telephone, printer/fax, Internet access, and cable television. All the vans, which are priced from $36,900 to $69,900, come with privacy partitions and inter coms. The most popular model is the largest, a Ford extended van that seats five people around a built-in conference table.

An Interview With Darryl Hartley-Leonard Q: You made some pretty dire, but accurate, predictions in the early '90s. What's next?
A: In John Naisbitt's book, Global Paradox, chapter two, he said meetings and conventions illustrate the "high-tech, high-touch" paradox of the future. Technology will make some travel extraneous while building the need for in-person events. And I do have a prediction. I see business travel plumme ting during the next five to 10 years. And I see a complete lack of awareness of that in our industry.
We've entered a new cultural age. And we haven't had too many cultural changes in our history. No one really had any idea how videoconferencing and virtual reality would take off. But I think technology will mean meetings and conventions will rise, and become separate from the travel industry, per se. People need cultural and psychic interchange.

There Is No Evidence for the GOP Myth That Health Reform Hurts Jobs
The Republicans do not have any evidence demonstrating that health reform hurts job growth. To the contrary, as shown below, there has been month after month of private sector job growth since health reform was enacted. It is repealing health reform that would hurt job creation.
Under Democratic Policies, Including Health Reform, There Has Been Strong Private Sector Job Growth This Past Year
In 2010, there have been 12 straight months of private sector job growth. Under the Obama Administration, overall this past year, we have created a total of 1.3 million new private sector jobs. And, since enactment of health reform in March 2010, we have created a total of 1.1 million new private sector jobs.
In Sharp Contrast, Under the 8 Years of Republican Policies of President Bush, We Lost Private Sector Jobs
During the 8 years of the Bush Administration, under Republican economic policies, 673,000 private sector jobs were lost. In other words, there were 673,000 fewer private sector jobs when Bush left office than when he was inaugurated in 2001.
Health Reform Has Been Good for the Health Care Industry
Among the 1.1 million new private sector jobs created since March, many of these jobs have been in the health care industry. Indeed, overall, since March, an additional 207,000 jobs have been created in the health care sector.
Health Reform Is Already Helping Businesses Create New Jobs
There are already in effect two key provisions in health reform that are helping businesses meet their health coverage costs - thereby freeing up money to hire more workers. These two provisions, described below, are: tax credits to help small businesses provide health coverage and the new Early Retiree Reinsurance Program.
Health Reform Is Already Delivering Savings to Small Businesses with A New Tax Credit - Lowering Their Costs and Freeing Up Money to Expand Their Businesses
Health reform has established tax credits for small businesses, effective in January 2010, to help them offer employee health insurance coverage - if they choose to do so. Between now and 2013, reform offers tax credits of up to 35 percent of employer premium contributions (rising to 50 percent in 2014).
More and More Small Businesses Are Signing Up for Health Reform's Tax Credit
As the Los Angeles Times (12/27/10) reported:
Major insurers around the country are reporting that a growing number of small businesses are signing up to give their workers health benefits… An important selling point has been a tax credit that the nation's new health care law provides to companies with fewer than 25 employees and moderate-to-low pay scales to help offset the cost of providing benefits.
According to a survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation, the percentage of employers with between three and nine employees offering health coverage has risen from 46% in 2009 to 59% in 2010 - in part due to the reform's new tax credit.
Health Reform Is Also Already Delivering Savings to Thousands of Employers With Early Retirees - Lowering Their Costs and Freeing Up Money to Expand Their Businesses
Health reform also created the Early Retiree Reinsurance Program -- providing financial assistance for employer health plans offered to early retirees. This initiative is providing premium relief for employers and helping them afford to continue this critical coverage for early retirees and their families. Already, there are 4,748 employers across the country that are participating in the program - with many of them large employers with thousands of early retirees each.
Finally, A Study Finds That Health Reform Will Create Up to 4 Million Jobs Over the Next 10 Years - Repeal Would Prevent This Job Creation
A study by Harvard Economics Professor David Cutler and USC Health Policy Professor Neeraj Sood, published by the Center on American Progress, concludes that the health reform law will create as many as 4 million jobs over the next decade by lowering costs - including lowering costs for businesses - and making investments in the health care workforce. The reform law includes numerous cost-containment measures to slow the rate of growth of health care spending. Small businesses in particular are helped through Health Insurance Exchanges that allow them to pool resources to lower costs as well as tax credits to make it more affordable to offer their employees health coverage. These cost-reduction provisions free up money that otherwise would be spent on health care and allow companies to spend it hiring more workers. In addition, reform makes key investments in the health care workforce - supporting more young Americans to go into the health care workforce, particularly into primary care. Those benefits disappear, as well as the jobs created along with them, if the law is repealed.

Bro. George opened to Prov.31:10-31, "Hunting in the Wrong Pond". As we read Proverbs 31, we see the kind of woman God is spelling out to us. We need to find a woman of good virtue and one that has great value because of her love, loyalty, and great tenderness. For her work is never done. She is compassionate and unrewarded and never ducks out of responsibility. Her work is also commendable.
This woman is of great truth. The compliments she receives are quiet for she is strength. She raises her children up to know Christ! The confidence she displays are honor and strength. She is a woman of great testimony. Her children and husband praise her. She is a blessing from God. She reaps what she sows and it is good. Why? because she started all things with a relationship with Christ! You too can have that same relationship. Come to Him now and know the true love only God can give!

As trade show organizers work to keep up with the fast-paced, tech-driven world, this new feature holds the potential to redefine attendee engagement.
What do people want from hotel meeting space? Hotels themselves are as curious about that as anyone - and aren't shy about experimenting with everything from smaller breakout areas to on-demand popup space to plentiful natural light.
You may be concerned about the current state of Wi-Fi costs, but are you ready for what the future holds? Get a glimpse of the key connectivity trends that will impact your meeting over the next five years.
As meteorologists outlined the forecast for a very wintry weekend in the Northeast, members of the meetings community were watching the predictions to determine how to move forward with their events.
Show organizers of the Toy Industry Association's American International Toy Fair, being held at the Javits Center in New York, continued to gear up for the opening of the show on Sunday, February 10, making it clear that a blizzard would not stand in the way of the 110th anniversary of the event.
"There's no business like snow business," a statement on toyassociation.org read. "Snow won't stop our shows...full steam ahead TOTY and Toy Fair!"
Reaction on Toy Fair's Facebook page was mixed. While some exhibitors indicated that they had already arrived with comments promoting their booth numbers, other Toy Fair fans posted about flight cancellations. However, air travel began to return to normal in New York before the show officially opened. Despite nearly a foot of snow in the Big Apple, the region's three primary airports, John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark, reopened on Saturday, February 9.
Further north in Boston, the snow wrote a much different story.
Under direction from the Massachusetts Convention Center Authorities' Public Safety Department, the annual New England Grows! horticulture trade show cancelled all of the programming on its final day, Friday, February 8. In hindsight, it was the right call and more than likely helped many of the shows 13,000+ participants avoid extending their stays. Boston's Logan International Airport closed for nearly two full days as more than 20 inches of snow fell on the city.
Social Media Flexes Its Strength
Many trade show organizers and meeting planners rely on Facebook and Twitter for their promotional power. However, the latest round of weather to impact the Northeast and New England highlights that social media can become a very powerful source of communication during times of distress.
Before everyone begin embracing status updates, "real-time" updates existed on a clock governed by PR representatives writing lengthy press releases. Today, those press releases are still important, but social media and email provide a direct line of communication between show organizers and attendees. These tools, coupled with the ability to easily update website home pages, give the meeting industry the ability to ensure that everyone is in-the-know when big decisions are being made.
"We've all grown to expect rapid response times," Carolyn Clark, vice president, marketing and communications, PCMA, says. "When attendees are dealing with uncertainties, social media channels and instant website updates have filled the gap to address those questions without waiting."
That lack of waiting time can be a positive, but it can also add extra pressure for planners.
"Attendees have never been shy about voicing their concerns and social media gives them a platform to make those concerns very public," Clark says. "In high-trafficked times during your meeting or trade show, it's important to make sure that you have one dedicated member of your team monitoring your feeds. At PCMA's recent annual meeting, we didn't experience any weather challenges, but we still had a twenty-four-seven schedule to monitor our feeds for potential questions."

People with diabetes often develop foot problems because their skin becomes dry and cracked, which opens pathways for infection to enter the body. The hands and feet are most susceptible to infection because circulation is weakest at the extremities. Adding to these threats, nerve damage, known as diabetic neuropathy, can lead to a loss of feeling in the feet and the inability to notice a foot infection.
These diabetic foot ulcers require advanced wound care that sometimes includes hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). If a wound becomes chronic — that is, if it has not started to heal in two weeks or has not healed completely in four to six weeks — hyperbaric oxygen therapy can bring relief to the patient.
Without appropriate care, chronic wounds on the feet can lead to amputation. According to Nevada State Health Division statistics, more than 215, 000 Nevada adults have diabetes-related conditions that lead to chronic wounds. In 2009, more than 40 percent of lower extremity amputations in Nevada were performed on people with a primary diagnosis of diabetes.
Besides losing part of a limb, studies show that people with diabetes who have an amputation then have a 35 percent greater demand on the heart and lungs when they are mobile. Most do not live beyond five years after the amputation because of complications from diabetes.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is one of the most important elements of advanced wound care and has medical applications for a large variety of conditions. It increases the efficiency of the body's oxygen-dependent, wound-healing mechanism by saturating the blood plasma with oxygen. This allows the plasma to carry 15 to 20 times the normal amount of healing oxygen to the body's tissues. Oxygen-rich blood stimulates your body to release substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing.
During treatment the patient reclines on a bed enclosed in a clear Plexiglass chamber. He or she breathes pure oxygen at an air pressure of 1.5 to three times normal atmospheric pressure. An HBOT technician supervises the therapy. Treatments are administered for two hours at a time, and patients can nap or watch a movie during the treatment.
Patients receive five treatments per week for several weeks, with a total of 30 to 50 treatments. As the wound heals, the number of required treatments may decrease.
To be most effective, hyperbaric oxygen therapy should be administered under the supervision of a physician. In clinical studies, hyperbaric oxygen therapy administered under the supervision of a physician has shown an almost 90 percent success rate in healing chronic wounds that previously would not heal. Northern Nevada Medical Center's Wound Care Center provides this care, and patients should ask about physician supervision before seeking treatment at any wound care center.
To learn more about wound care and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, call the Wound Care Center at Northern Nevada Medical Center at 352-5353. The Wound Care Center is located at the Vista Medical Terrace at 2345 E. Prater Way.
Todd Inman, MD, is a family medicine physician at the Northern Nevada Medical Group and medical director for the Wound Care Center at Northern Nevada Medical Center. Dr. Inman earned his medical degree and completed his residency from the University of Nevada School of Medicine in Reno.

The Marder series of self-propelled anti-tank guns began development in late 1941 to increase the mobility of 7.5cm PaK 40 anti-tank guns by mounting them on atracked chassis. The need arose in the summer of 1941 with the appearance of new Soviet tanks like the T-34 and the heavy KV-1 and KV-2.The Marder I can be used in both mid and late war. In the mid war you can support a German force with Marder I tank-hunters from both Ostfront and Afrika with the Tank-hunter Platoons.In late war the last few Marders saw service with the 716.

Manitoba RCMP stuck with the cost of rescuing U.S. anglers
Posted by MrFirefighter on Mar 30, 2012 @ 8:09AM
LAKE OF THE WOODS, MB - Manitoba RCMP will be on the hook for much of the costs of rescuing 13 American anglers from an ice floe adrift in Lake of the Woods earlier this week.
Sgt. Line Karpish said the costs - including a bill still to be submitted by Lake of the Woods Search and Rescue -- will come out of the police division's budget.
Karpish said the RCMP do not have a cost-recovery policy for searches and rescues, adding the police force does not want the public to hesitate to call police when they are in trouble.

Horton on Russell Wilson: 'He is impressive'
At the beginning of the season, the undersized rookie from Wisconsin was overshadowed by fellow first-year signal callers Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. However entering Week 14, Wilson finds himself competing with them for the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.
"He is impressive," Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton said of Wilson.
The Cardinals beat Wilson in the season opener, but Horton knows that he has his work cut out for him if he wants to do it again.
"Obviously we played him in the first game, I saw all his preseason games, saw all his regular season games and (he is) tremendous," Horton said. "Real accurate with the ball, makes a ton of plays with his feet, has command of the offense and if you didn't know he was a rookie you wouldn't think he was."
Horton feels that Wilson's mobility is one of the key reasons the former Badger is so hard to stop.
"He just trusts it more and he just makes so many plays that a less mobile quarterback wouldn't be able to make," Horton said.
This time last season, the Seahawks were 5-7 and looking at the playoff picture from a far. However this season, they are 7-5 and appear to be front runners for a wildcard spot.
According to Horton, Wilson is the reason the Seahawks have gotten so much better.
"I think it is everything. Last year they had a mobile, athletic quarterback in (Tarvaris) Jackson, but they didn't go far," Horton said. "I would put all of it on him (Wilson)."

Jamie Oliver and the Slaughter of the Lamb
World reknown Television food chef Jamie Oliver has found himself in a bit of hot water after slaughtering a lamb on a recent show of his.
Advocates for Animals, said Oliver should be "thoroughly ashamed" because the lamb was fully concious when it was slaughtered. But People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have come down on Mr. Oliver's side…sorta. They said "In slaughterhouses, the stun gun often misses the mark and animals remain concious. Showing this scene can hit home the message of cruelty."
The press in Britain has been having a less restrained response, with editorials peppering the papers, mostly against The Naked Chef's choice, adding that the slaughter should not have been on the television at a time when children could watch it.
Personally, I think it's important for everyone, not just adults, to understand where their food comes from. Killing animals happens to be part of the process. The further away a person gets away from that fact, the less they understand food. Should a child watch it? That's up for the parents to decide.
As for the humane treatment of the lamb? Do they think that the slaughter of animals is in any way a wonder to behold? Regardless of the method of the slaughter, it's still a violent act, not one pleasant to behold.

Hi all,
What I need is to be able to retrieve information about the graphical capabilities of a system in OpenGL (C++). I can already retrieve the name of the video card through glGetString(GL_RENDERER), and I use Cg profiles to check for the availability of vertex and/or pixel shaders on the video card. But I would still like to retrieve some extra information. In particular , is there any way I can retrieve the clock speed of the video card installed in the system? Or does anyone have any other ideas which might be helpful/useful for my goal?
Thanks in advance!

Canada recognizes that climate change is a global challenge requiring a global solution. Canada supports an approach to climate change that achieves real environmental and economic benefits for all Canadians.Ā
As a Party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Canada views this process as the most effective and inclusive way to achieve measurable and verifiable progress on climate change. For example, through this process, Canada will continue to support the Durban Platform and the establishment of a fair and comprehensive global climate change regime by 2015 that will effectively address global climate change and serve Canadian interests.
In addition, Canada is committed to working with developing countries to help them achieve their greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals and adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change. Our international support is comprised of a wide range of programs and initiatives that addresses mitigation, clean energy technology, sustainable forestry, and adaptation to climate change by the world's most vulnerable countries. These initiatives include Canada`s fast-start financing contribution of $1.2 billion for the fiscal years 2010/11, 2011/12 and 2012/2013 as announced by Minister Kent on December 5, 2011 in Durban.
Canada's implementation of the UNFCCC is also complemented by our participation in key international partnerships, such as:

Recycling Batteries Responsibly
The European Directive on Batteries and Accumulators aims to minimise the impact of batteries on the environment and encourage the recovery of the materials they contain. In the UK, regulations on the recycling of batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) were Introduced in 2009. The Waste Batteries Regulations aim to significantly increase UK collection and recycling of used portable batteries from 3% in 2007 to 25% by 2012, rising to at least 45% in 2016.
The battery symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with general household waste. Instead, it is the consumer's responsibility to dispose of their waste batteries at a designated collection point so that they can be recycled. The separate collection and recycling of batteries at the time of dispo sal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that they are recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. A comprehensive list of battery recycling centres can be obtained from: www.recycle-more.co.uk
All Samsung products that are subject to the Batteries Directive are compliant with the UK battery and accumulator Requirements. In accordance with national law, SAMSUNG Electronics (UK) Ltd is a member of an approved batteries producer compliance scheme. This scheme collects, treats and disposes of batteries on Samsung's behalf.

Dear Fiesta Hotel Group clients and partners!
We are glad to announce that we've started an important project with ibiza.ru, Russia's number one website about Ibiza. On June 12th, we opened the Russian Tourism Center in Fiesta Hotel Don Toni in order to help Russian tourists feel more at home in Ibiza. Read more…
The new Center will provide all the information and services that tourists from Russia might require on the island. This initiative will also help promote the Russian market on Ibiza and boost the White Island's economy as well.
In addition to working with Russian tourists, the Center will service companies from Ibiza in their efforts to generate new businesses with Russian clients. The range of these services includes translation of restaurant menus or company websites, interpreters for events and anything they might need to reach new Russian clients. ibiza.ru is the perfect opportunity for companies in Ibiza to enter the Russian market thanks to the number one website and the only Russian language magazine about Ibiza.
The new Russian Cultural Center in Fiesta Hotel Don Toni will be inaugurated on July 20th. During the event we will feature a Russian movie that won first prize at the renowned Russian Film Festival, a harp concert and exhibition of paintings by a Russian artist from Ibiza. The list of invited guests includes the Russian Consul from Barcelona and members from the Ibiza Tourism Board.
We cordially invite you to visit the new Center. We will be more than happy to help with anything you might need. Opening hours are from 12:00 until 22:00 every day.

In order to choose a warehouse space for lease in the most practical sense, consider the following elements:
The Layout – will the layout of the warehouse space be conducive to how you manage inventory and the flow of everyday operations?
Square Feet – is the warehouse space large enough to accommodate employees, equipment and traffic? This is one of the top elements to consider before renting any type of commercial property including leases for restaurants, offices and retail for instance.
Truck Accessibility – one of the predominant operations of a warehouse is also managing the pickup and drop off spaces of fleets. A fleet manager may need to be called in to collaborate with the warehouse manager for determining whether truck access will be an issue in a potential space.
Storage – where will inventory be stored safely? Is it practical, climate controlled and spacious enough to suit all the business needs? This is one additional question to ask before making a final decision.
Climate Control – which was mentioned earlier is another important element to consider, because heat and cold has the potential to destroy certain products. To preserve the integrity and quality of the goods being handled, it's of utmost importance that the warehouse has several features for climate controls in different spaces. As an example, perishable foods will need to be handled based on the FDAs requirements. Electronics too, will need to be preserved against excess heat and cold.
State Mandates – warehouses are required to have running water, bathrooms and other mandates outlined by the state, in order to keep workers and customers safe. Explore these criteria with the Department of Revenue, and other authoritative websites to find out more details about how to pass the inspection once the space has been rented.
Safety – how safe is the property? Does it have sufficient exit doors in the event of a fire or flood? How about security features, like surveillance cameras or fire extinguishers for instance. It's important to plan ahead for the unexpected.
The Budget – before any planning of space is considered, it's important to manage the current corporate budget. Warehouse managers or business owners will need to outline the pricing boundaries, and then from there, call a commercial property manager to find locations that meet the criteria of pricing, as well as other factors discussed above.
Some of the above factors can also be considered if you're renting a restaurant property for instance. As stated earlier, connecting with a commercial real estate agent can save you time, money and headaches when choosing business locations to meet your needs. Consider choosing a commercial real estate agent that specializes in this particular niche of warehouse leasing. Negotiations can be made on the renter's behalf where pricing is concerned, as well as the length of the contract.
It's important that the agent understands logistics and what's entailed in the successful operation of a fleet and warehouse, regardless of the state it's located in. Start your search online for a warehouse space through real estate or directory-related listings.

Tiger Returns, Nike Capitalizes
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
In about three hours, the sports world, once again, turns itself over to the larger than life character of Eldrick "Tiger" Woods, and of course, Nike is right there, turning Tiger's offseason of discontent into a potential marketing blitz. This time, Earl Woods, Tiger's father, "returns" asking if his son has Woods has learned anything from his mistakes. While the latest Nike Golf offering is effort in poignancy, it would be wise to keep in mind they are doing so to separate you from your hard-earned dollars in exchange for a set of Nike golf clubs.
If Tiger's in contention for the Masters and the green jacket as the weekend draws closer, I would expect to see this commercial about umpteen bajillion times (a bajillion = a whole freaking lot).
Perhaps Nike deserves credit for sticking by their
golden goose man, but we shouldn't be surprised their marketing department is capitalizing on Tiger's mistakes. Granted, the commercial gives an appearance of disapproval and finger-wagging, but again, they want to sell you golf clubs, and whether or not Tiger's star has been fractured, his presence, especially now, makes for a compelling approach.
I suppose this method is better than having Tiger celebrate his mistakes by pitching golf clubs with a bevy of scantily-clad golf hotties running around in the background. I'm thinking something along the lines of Doria Baird's spread she did for Maxim from a few years ago.
You know? Something like this:
Then again, maybe I'm wrong. I think the Doria Baird method would've been filled with an illegal amount of "____ you, I'm Tiger Woods and you're not" awesomeness that would've knocked the judgmental world of sports fans on its collective asses.
The voicemail version of Tiger's commercial. Two words: ***king awesome.
All of this is proof that it's simply Tiger's world and we're only living in it, like it or not. It doesn't matter if his actions disagree with a particular moral setting. The fact that the public even cares this much — about a golfer, mind you — is all the evidence required.

Amgen Inc. said Tuesday that its second-quarter profit dipped 1 percent as more spending on research, production and other items offset rising sales of its medicines. Still, the world's biggest maker of biotech drugs exceeded Wall Street expectations.
The maker of osteoporosis drug Prolia and Enbrel, for rheumatoid arthritis and skin disorders, said second-quarter net income was $1.26 billion, or $1.65 per share, compared with $1.27 billion, or $1.61 per share, a year earlier.
Excluding one-time items, Amgen said adjusted net income was $1.44 billion, or $1.89 per share, well above the $1.74 analysts expected.
The Thousand Oaks-based company said revenue rose 5 percent to $4.68 billion. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected $4.49 billion.
Amgen stock fell $1.80, or 1.6 percent, to $109.40 in after-hours trading, giving back most of the $1.83 it gained during regular trading.
"We saw solid product trends during the second quarter and are carrying good momentum into the second half," CEO Robert A. Bradway said in a statement. "We continue to make excellent progress with our pipeline of innovative" experimental drugs.
Sales were led by Neulasta and Neupogen, for fighting infection in cancer patients, with their combined sales up 7 percent to $1.44 billion. Enbrel sales jumped 9 percent to $1.16 billion, but sales of anemia drug Aranesp slipped 2 percent to $524 million.
Combined sales of two newer drugs, Prolia and Xgeva, for preventing skeletal damage from solid tumors, jumped 46 percent, to $437 million. They contain the same active ingredient but at different doses.
Amgen raised its 2013 profit forecast to $7.30 to $7.45 per share, from the $7.05 to $7.35 per share it predicted in April. It also adjusted its revenue forecast, saying it now expects "the upper end" of its January forecast of $17.8 billion to $18.2 billion in full-year sales.
Amgen's board of directors last week declared a dividend of 47 cents per share for its fiscal third quarter.
The biotech giant will pay the dividend Sept. 6 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business Aug. 16.
The dividend is the same amount paid in the past two quarters. Amgen officials have said they plan to increase the dividend over time. It is the seventh dividend payout since Amgen announced its first in April 2011.
Bradway said Tuesday that the company stands committed to increasing its dividend.
Staff writer Stephanie Hoops contributed to this report.

A joint venture from the Sidran Traumatic Stress Institute and the Trauma, Research, Education and Training Institute (TREATI) in conjunction with the Mental Health Departments of the States of Maine and New York.
Research in the emerging field of traumatology demonstrates that many of our most difficult-to-treat, suicidal, and self-injuring patients have histories of childhood trauma. Understanding the psychological consequences of early trauma, as well as state-of-the art treatment practices, will result in mental health care that is more clinically effective and significantly cost-saving. Treaters without this education may become discouraged in their attempts to help this group of clients, and may suffer from burnout as a result. This leads to a vicious cycle of high staff turnover rates, increased costs, and more state clients in search of the help they need.
The Sidran Institute, a nonprofit organization devoted to educating professionals about traumatic stress conditions, is pleased to announce the publication of Risking Connection®: A Training Curriculum for Working with Survivors of Childhood Abuse, the only basic trauma training curriculum specially designed for staff in public mental health settings.
Our curriculum was developed by trauma specialists at the Trauma Research, Education, and Training Institute, Inc. (TREATI) of South Windsor, CT with the support of the Departments of Mental Health in the states of Maine and New York. This affordable curriculum is now available to all interested agencies and individuals. It was prepared with editorial and clinical input from helping professionals and trauma survivors with extensive experience in state mental health systems, clinical treatments of traumatic stress conditions, curriculum design, and the law.
Who will benefit from Risking Connection®?
Risking Connection® is useful for all mental health, public health, and substance abuse staff -- from inexperienced non-degreed front-line workers to highly trained personnel, mental health, and medical professionals. It is intended for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, intake workers, case managers, psych techs, and anyone else who interacts with traumatized individuals in mental health treatment.
The 20-hour curriculum is divided into five half-day modules, which are flexible and can be tailored to a particular audience. Although the content is sophisticated, the language is accessible and jargon-free, making the material user-friendly for staff at all levels and disciplines.
Interspersed in this living document are client/treater worksheets as well as assessment, self-reflection, group discussion, and clinical practice exercises. Clinical scenarios bring the material home in a real way. Emphasizing the critical concepts of empowerment and collaboration, Risking Connection® focuses on three major goals:
In addition, the curriculum cogently addresses the common questions, concerns, and skepticism about trauma treatment.
Risking Connection® in-depth
The Five Modules outlined in Risking Connection® feature:
Module One: Understanding Trauma is the First Step
Module Two: Using Connections to Develop Treatment Goals with Survivor Clients
Module Three: Keeping a Trauma Framework When Responding to Crises and Life-Threatening Behaviors
Module Four: Working with Dissociation and Staying Grounded: Self-Awareness as a Tool for Clients and Helpers
Module Five: Vicarious Traumatization and Integration: Putting It All Together
As you can see, Risking Connection® is a revolutionary new curriculum that can help you help your clients while protecting yourself and reducing the stress in your workplace.
What People Are Saying about Risking Connection®
"Risking Connection® is a wonderful curriculum for training practitioners at all skill levels for work with survivors of sexual and physical abuse trauma. The beauty of the curriculum lies both in its inherent flexibility, allowing it to be used in a range of settings and formats and in its profound sensitivity to the complex pain experienced by survivors of abuse. -Maxine Harris, Ph.D., author of Trauma Recovery and Empowerment: A Clinician's Guide for Working with Women in Groups
Pricing Information
Individual copies of Risking Connection® are affordable at just $75.00 (plus shipping). We are also offering a bulk discount for quantity purchase. If you are a large agency, we will be happy to discuss alternative pricing structures, such as limited licensing for system-wide use.
