Welcome to the home page for our company, Style Sheets Ink, the one-stop shopping center for all things to do with style sheets.
At Style Sheets Ink. we believe in the power of style sheets. We are jazzed and excited at the myriad of ways that style sheets can liven up a Web site. We provide many services to help your company come up to speed with using style sheets, including:
This page uses style sheets extensively. To see it in its full glory, you should view it in a Web browser that can use style sheets, such as Netscape Communicator.
We can build customized training courses for you, to show you how useful style sheets can be.
We also run regularly-scheduled training courses at
our offices that are
just jam packed with information about style sheets.
The training course is very hands-on. Each participant
has their own computer, and we accept no more than ten
students per class.
The training courses usually run for one full day,
or two half days.
We also offer seminars that last six hours, where we talk about the benefits of style sheets, and show lots of examples.
The seminars do not provide a hands-on experience like the training courses do, but they give lots of information to
vast amounts of people at once, and they require less of a financial investment from you than the training classes do.
We can also come to your office to present our seminar to audiences of 30 people or more.
Here is a list of available seminars:
Using Colors in Style Sheets: This seminar gives advice on mixing and matching colors in style sheets. Colors add life to a Web site, but you can take it too far.
Using Boxes For Headings: This seminar talks about block-level formatting, and gives advice on using boxes to make headings stand out.
Using Text Properties of Style Sheets: This seminar discusses all the different ways you can liven your text up by using the text properties of style sheets.
We can help you build new Web sites from scratch, that are just alive with styles.
If you already have a Web site, we can update it to use style sheets, so that
it looks modern and trendy compared to all those other Web sites out there
that don't use style sheets.
We offer consultation and advice on any aspect of using style sheets.
We help you grapple with difficult style sheet questions such as what colors should I use? How can style sheets help me? Why should I use them? What styles go together well? Can I use style sheets to decorate my house?
As well as giving general advice about style sheets, we also help you build Web sites that use style sheets.
See the section WEB SITES for more information on this service.
Just to make everything perfectly clear, Style Sheets Ink. is a fictional company, and the purpose of this page is to demonstrate the use of style sheets. This page was developed by Brighter Books for Netscape as part of the Dynamic HTML and Style Sheet documentation set for Communicator.

Once the dregs of the U.S. economy, mortgage banks are becoming more attractive as the home sector claws back from a depression and the Federal Reserve moves to buy mortgage-backed assets, an analyst said Monday.
This week, a few major banks will inaugurate the third quarter earnings season. Several of the institutions, such as banking giant JPMorgan Chase, are major players in the mortgage sector.
But the Fedis moving to flood mortgage markets with liquidity as part of its third round of massive bond buying known as quantitative easing, or QE3. That has one analyst lavishing praise on banks exposed to the once beaten down mortgage sector.
"Right now we love anything that's exposed to mortgage banking, mortgage banking is probably the most profitable that it's ever been, even back before the pre-crisis years," Paul Miller, a bank analyst at FBR Capital Markets, told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Monday.
As consumers use the low interest-rate environment to refinance their mortgages, Miller cited Wells Fargo, BB&T and PNC Bank as being the names he saw as among those "that are going to do very well … over the next couple of quarters."
He added: "We think this refi boom is not going to end until late 2013."
Mortgage rates are now hovering near historically low levels, a dynamic that could persist in the short term, Miller added. "I wouldn't be shocked to see mortgage rates down at 3 percent or below in the next quarter or two," he said, noting that home sales "are probably not going to be as strong as they are today, but still at historical levels."
Miller did warn, however, that the current refinancing boom didn't necessarily benefit everyone. Banks are reluctant to deal with consumers whose credit scores fall below a certain threshold, Miller said.
Lending standards, he said, are "very tight," which is creating a class of "serial refi-ers … people [refinancing] over and over again."

N.J. Gov. Chris Christie Squashes Spider
By editor
Originally published on Tue May 7, 2013 9:04 am
Good morning, I'm David Greene.
New Jersey's governor, Chris Christie, was hosting a group of school children in his office when a spider appeared. Christie did not grant it a pardon. Kids laughed and cheered as he gave it the smack-down. Christie joked it's one of the perks of being governor - you can kill critters on your desk without getting into any trouble. Well, not completely true. The animal rights group PETA issued a statement criticizing what they called a thoughtless act.

There's something nostalgic about California's license plates from the 1950s, '60s and '70s. Now, you may be able to have them again or for the first time.
The DMV this year started taking $50 pre-orders for what it's calling legacy license plates. That's the yellow one with black lettering issued from 1956 to 1962, the black with yellow lettering handed out from 1963 to 1969 and the blue with yellow lettering distributed from 1969 to 1986.
The DMV won't start making any of the old-fashioned plates until it's received 7,500 pre-orders for one of the plates by Jan. 1, 2015. So, for example, if the DMV gets 7,500 pre-orders for the yellow plate but less than that for the black or blue plates, it'll only start making the yellow plates. It'll produce the other two plates only once they individually reach 7,500 pre-orders.
If not enough pre-orders have been received by 2015 for the plate you want, then the DMV will refund your money.
But DMV officials are fairly confident they'll get enough orders. DMV spokeswoman Jessica Gonzalez said the DMV officially started taking applications Jan. 1 but a "soft launch" of the program before that resulted in 105 pre-orders.
The vintage plates are returning because Assemblyman Mike Gatto, D-Los Angeles, pushed AB1658 through the Legislature to create the program.
"California government doesn't do much for the thousands of car enthusiasts up and down the state," Gatto said in a statement in September after Gov. Jerry Brown signed his bill. "AB 1658 will enable the backyard auto restorer, the nostalgic or the owner of a brand-new retro-styled automobile to choose a license plate that best matches the look of their car while making a little money for the state too."
Besides recreating the plates, Gatto's bill requires that any money left over after the DMV covers its program costs be put into other DMV programs that have suffered budget cuts.
"This is an easy way for the state to make life a little more enjoyable for those of us who appreciate the classic era of automobile design," Gatto said.
The plates won't be exactly like the old ones because, for example, state law now requires that new plates be reflectorized. Yearly renewals will cost you $40 on top of the regular fees. You can personalize these plates, with two to seven characters.
As soon as a plate hits the 7,500-order mark, the state will start getting the legacy program going. But DMV officials say it'll take nine to 12 months before they actually start making plates.
If you order a personalized legacy plate and someone else orders the same personalization for the state's regular license plates, you'll lose out and your $50 will be refunded unless you check the application box that says you'll take a sequential number plate in case your personalized plate is taken.
You can find the pre-order form by CLICKING HERE. You have to print it out and mail it in with your check, money order or cashier's check. No online ordering and no credit cards.

Nice article. But the ending date for the blue plates is not exactly correct. DMV may have stopped using the blue plates for standard issue after 1986, but you could still get personalized plates on blue until at least 1991, when I got a set for my new Subaru.
Forget the license plates, Now we have to deal with these new $150 Star something smog checks that no one does around here! please explane this!??
"If not enough pre-orders have been received by 2015 for the plate you want, then the DMV will refund your money."
And loaning the DMV money possibly interest-free is a good idea because….
@mc rider….. Star certified Amiga are about $80.00 and there are local smog shops that are certified… Check out the BAR website for a listing.
*star certified program
this is so lame. Only classic cars were to have these plates. Now some stupid modern cars will have them and devalue the true old ones that are on all my classic cars. Welcome to america where everything is for sale, including you.
Next they will want to get the old classic cars off the roads with new smog laws. I know how about all cars are illigal to turn on, must save the planet.
This politican who said that congress does nothing for the car enthusiasts owner….well this is not something for them, this is for modern car owners who want to look retro and hip and its pathetic
Silly program for wannabees. Hilarious !!
BTW, I do STAR smog checks. Without the crazy price. With nothing extra for EVAP tests. Watch out for the price gougers that are sure to try to take advantage…
Does anybody know if the $40 renewal of the legacy plates also includes personalization? Seems that the $40 renewal fee applies to sequential plates too.
So, for the personalized ones… Does the $40 cover it, or is the usual $35 to renew a personalized plate tacked on top of the $40?

Number Two Pick Kidd-Gilchrist Signs With Charlotte Bobcats
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Charlotte Bobcats have signed their first round draft pick. The team announced Saturday that forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist of Kentucky signed a deal worth about $4 million for his first season, according to the union negotiated rookie pay scale.
Kidd-Gilchrist averaged nearly 12 points and more than seven rebounds in his only season with the Wildcats.
The Bobcats chose Kidd-Gilchrist with the second overall rick. Kidd-Gilchrist's Kentucky teammate Anthony Davis was chosen first overall by New Orleans.
Charlotte picked Vanderbilt forward Jeff Taylor in the second round with its only other pick in the draft. He has not signed.
The Bobcats head to Las Vegas later this month to play in the NBA Summer League.

De La Bella seals Sociedad win
Real Sociedad defender Alberto de la Bella's second-half goal ensured 10-man Sevilla's recent dire Primera Division form continued with a 2-1 defeat at the Anoeta.
De la Bella netted in the 69th minute as the hosts extended their unbeaten record to eight matches in all competitions, while Sevilla have now collected just one point from their last five league matches.
The visitors did get back on level terms as Gary Medel cancelled out Carlos Vela's early strike, but De la Bella ensured they went home empty-handed and their misery was further compounded when Andujar Coke picked up two yellow cards in the space of four second-half minutes.
The result moved Sociedad up to seventh although it was a welcome triumph for Philippe Montanier's men, who hadwon just two of their last seven before tonight.
They started to take charge in the early stages with Xabi Prieto firing wide while Diego Ifran was just beaten to Antoine Griezmann's cross by Coke.
And the hosts were rewarded for their early endeavour in the 18th minute when Vela gave them the lead when he fizzed a low strike past Sevilla goalkeeper Diego Lopez after collecting the ball from Griezmann.
The goal seemed to suck the confidence out of Sevilla, who nearly fell two behind after the interval when Prieto somehow fired over from Griezmann's cross.
That seemed to act as a wake-up call to Los Rojiblancos and they levelled in the 49th minute, with Medel expertly curling past Sociedad shot-stopper Claudio Bravo from the edge of the area.
Jose Antonio Reyes went close for the visitors with a fine strike but this time, Bravo was able to tip away.
It proved a vital save as Carlos Martinez burst up the other end and his right-wing cross was converted at the back post by fellow full-back De la Bella.
Things were about to get worse for Sevilla as Coke was dismissed for a second bookable offence in the 74th minute for a foul on Vela - having just been cautioned for a cynical challenge on De la Bella.
It was an unnecessary foul and one that looked to have cost Sevilla although Bravo did have to tip Alvaro Negredo's close-range header round the post in the closing stages as Sociedad held on for all three points.

Have you heard the myth that black cats are unsafe in October, in part because witches may try to adopt them for rituals? We sure have. But guess what? Top ASPCA experts agree that it's just not true.
Unfortunately, the truth is kinda scary, too: Year-round, black cats are the least likely to get adopted in shelters across the U.S. In fact, black animals in general take more time to find homes, says Gail Buchwald, Senior Vice President of the Adoption Center.
At the ASPCA, we LOVE black kitties. (Some of our friendliest cats, like Marissa, are black—yet Marissa has waited more than nine months to find a family. What's up with that?)
Aside from the most important reason to adopt black kitties—that they really need extra help finding homes—here are a few reasons to take home one or two:
- Their fur won't show on your little black dress.
- You can tell your kids you adopted a mini panther.
- Black cats go with everything.
- In most cultures, black cats are a sign of good luck.
- You already know black cats are awesome—you have one at home! If you've got a great black kitty, tell us about him or her in the comments. You just might persuade someone else to give these felines a little extra attention.
I have two black kitties, and they talk and chirp, and are very loving.
Wouldn't adopt anything but! They are the most wonderful, the sweetest and full of personality.
I have 2 black cats and my neighbor has 1. They are wonderful and special just like all pets. Their color doesn't matter except they are glossy and pretty. LOVE BLACK CATS!
We adopted our black cat, Lucky, from our local shelter two years ago. He was missing a leg, but that hasn't stopped him from being an active fun loving member of our family!! He loves to play with our dogs and is friendly and loves to cuddle!!
A friend found a tiny black kitten near her home, the minute I saw him I knew he needed my help. He was barely alive and barely a week old. I brought this little guy back to life. I was never a 'cat' person but somehow he changed my mind. His name is Angelo, he is 10 years old and he is our mini panther.... 17 lbs. Everyone that meets him instantly likes him, he has the biggest personality. He rules our house.... But it is because he is the sweetest boy! He loves to cuddle and has learned tricks like 'sit' and fetch. I've never believed the myths people say about black cats, they are absolutely beautiful creatures. They all deserve a good home.
I have 2 black cats, Aleister and Licorice-both the sweetest of all my animals!
We have a black cat that adopted us exactly one year ago. Being the owner of a Doxie and yellow lab, I was concerned when he started coming around. He kept hanging around and the dogs began to accept him. Today he is just as much a family member to us as the dogs are. I can't imagine him not being a member of the family now. He loves to be scratched and is such a loving cat. He sleeps and eats with the dogs, and greets people at the door as if he is the host. Don't let the color of the fur scare you, ours has brought nothing but good luck to us.
Coming from celtic Britain, Black Cats have always been seen as being very lucky; e.g. if you receive a charm braclet - for a gift - a black cat charm should be the first charm on the jewellery - I have found that if a black cat crosses my path - I'm usually in for a big, nice surprise and for me is a fortunate omen - all my life this has been the case...One of my most affectionate cats was a pure black male cat named sooty - he was a darling and folowwed me every where - like he was protecting me...They make good hunters if you need a hunter by the way;-) Enjoy the luck which will flow your way....
My niece had 2 sister kittens from a litter her cat had. She was planning to take them to a rescue group, but I became the rescuer. One is all black and one is tiger striped. My sister named the black one BatCat (I've chosen Onyx but that doesn't seem to be sticking...). BatCat and Primrose are so hysterically funny when they're playing and I never know what state my house will be in when I get home from work. They love to eat popcorn with me while I'm watching a movie, and like two little babies, they have to be near me when I'm sleeping or getting ready for work in the a.m. I'm so glad I took these two litle girls. They are so entertaining. Black cats rule!
Hi. I agree that black cats are sweet--I adopted one last September that was a stray to protect him, but not from witches! Witches, AKA Wiccans, DO NOT use animals in rituals or harm them in any way! The rule Wiccans live by is "And it harm none, do what ye will". They respect life would not sacrifice animals. I agree that there are people out there who are dangerous to cats, especially black cats around Halloween, but it is NOT Wiccans who are doing this!

Boston >Food & Dining > Columbus Cafe
535 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA | Directions 0211842.341837 -71.080497
Monday To Friday From 11:30 AM To 11:30 PM Saturday To Sunday From 09:00 AM To 11:30 PM
Neighborhoods: South End, Columbus
Good Food...Nice Place – The food here is decent. I don't think Ive had anything ive ever been disappointed by, and even a few things I really did like. The bar is O.K., the odd movies choices turn from interesting to mildly annoying, however. Burger is good...meatloaf is respectable...the fries need to be fried more...I've had a few that are still raw in the middle.
Watch out!!! – Only go to this restaurant/bar if you want to feel like an outcast from the crowd! I was enjoying drinks with my girlfriend when an employee (older, i'd guess manager or owner) started saying belligerent things to us while we were sitting in the corner on the right, by the window, minding our own business. He honestly made me feel like I was 12 years old (I'm 32). I'm not sure why an employee would attempt to lure customers away from the restaurant but that is apparently what they do at this bar. I will not go back because I was insulted and confused as to why the manager/owner would find it necessary to get hammered and cause people to leave.
Awesome spot--horrible management – I really enjoyed having a few drinks here last weekend. The bar is really small, the bartender was friendly, and the atmosphere was cool. The night was going great until the owner made my whole group feel uncomfortable. He was with a posse of his friends yelling at our group on our way out. It sounds like this might be some sort of trend. I won't go back until Columbus Cafe is under new management.
Terrible Experience--the Owner was flat-out mean – Where to begin. I live in the neighborhood and have wanted to adopt this as "my neighborhood bar." It is close, seemingly unpretentious, and the space has the potential to be something great. The food is so-so, but the bar is a great place to grab an appetizer and a good drink....if you aren't run off by the "in crowd" (aka dressed-in black pseudo intellects) that take over the place every day. While leaving the bar with two friends after what would have otherwise been characterized as a great night, the owner--yes, the OWNER, and a group of other pseudo-intellects said, "goodbye kids" (we are late 20s) in a surprisingly aggressive tone. We were a little off-put by this but didn't think much of it until my husband, who was waiting for us with our dog, said that the same group of people (owner included) had been flat out making fun of him and our dog for no apparent reason. I am really disheartened at how the owner of a neighborhood restaurant would treat his loyal patrons. I will not be back to Columbus Cafe and would encourage others not to go there as well. It's unfortunate, because the place has a lot of potential.
Awesome breakfast, Great late night drink – During my visit to Boston, my friend Tom took me in for a drink and the place has a great vibe... attentive and friendly bartenders and relaxed and interesting clientele. It's very small but more in a cozy way than an annoying way. On Sunday morning, before I left town, we had breakfast there and I had the best eggs florentine I've ever had.
Character, Charm and GREAT food – A great little (small, but in a good way) place in the south end with lots of regulars. Seats aren?t on top of each other and it never gets too loud. All of the food is uncomplicated and full of flavor - proving that the chef, whoever s/he is, knows what they're doing. The service is always full of smiles and recommendations, so if you don't know, ask! They'll give you honest opinions.
Great intimate date place – Coming from out of town, my fiance and I really liked this place - interesting and flavorful food, decent small wine list, and really adorable waitstaff. Mostly we loved the ambiance, very chill & down to earth. It's quiet, dark, and cozy enough to sit there for a couple of hours having animated conversation or just listening & people watching. The Rhode Island calamari was delicious; the fried plantains weren't quite what I expected (more like chip-patties) but also flavorful.
great food, service and atmosphere – I have eaten at this neighborhood South End restaurant many times, I?ve tried almost everything on its menu, and it has never disappointed me in its consistency in service and excellent meals. The waiters are always helpful, pleasant and agreeable. The atmosphere is romantic and the outdoor tables are a great alternative option. For the value in service, food, and satisfaction, your time and money will be well spent here!
Great neighborhood cafe – Although the ambiance inside is below mediocre, this is a great place to sit outside and enjoy their excellent food. One of the few places you can have really good mexican food in Boston - their enchiladas are excellent. We also had the Ceviche, which was very good. The service here is good as well.
Best Vibe / Atmosphere – I've spent 33 + years in the catering / restaurant field. I've waited tables at some of Boston's "finest". The city has a lot of fun places to go for a meal, or a drink. Many in the South End. In my experience, Columbus Cafe is unique. Others have mentioned the cozy, casual decor, the well prepared , and presented food. What struck me was how welcome and comfortable I felt there. I couldn't figure it out at first, and had to go back again and again. I learned the owners and most of the staff have all worked together before. That shared history holds a bond of trust that translates into confidence, even on those rare occasions when things don't go right,( every one, every place, has bad nights sometimes). I know how hard it can be to find and develop a good staff. This place is blessed with a bright and gifted team. This has attracted a faithful following of regulars, who are in and of themselves part of the attraction. The close proximity of seats / stools in the bar provides ample opportunity to strike up conversation. One of the delights of this diverse crowd, is the mix of generations, from college students to retirees. Don't go there if your looking for the game on t.v. But if your looking for good food and drink, and good company, Columbus Cafe is hard to beat. Let their staff bring their gifts to your table or seat at the bar. They'll nourish your body and spirit.

House vote on GOP immigration bill would allow more foreign-born grads to stay in US
Alex Wong/Getty Images
U.S. Rep. Judy Chu of El Monte is fighting a proposed bill that would create a visa program for high-value college graduates at the expense of an existing visa program.
There are precious few hours before Congress leaves town until after the election. They still have a funding resolution to pass to keep the government going, and they'll name a few post offices. But there's also an immigration bill likely to get a vote Thursday — one sponsored by Republicans.
The bill by Republican Congressman Lamar Smith of Texas would make it easier for graduate students from foreign countries to remain in the United States after getting a degree. There's a catch: their major must be from one of the so-called "STEM" areas — science, technology, engineering, or math.
Smith is chair of the House Judiciary Committee. His bill is designed to prevent the brain drain of foreign-born, U.S.-educated scientists and engineers who return to their home country because of the difficulty in obtaining work visas. Up to 55,000 visas would be designated for such candidates.

I doubt it would cause the floor to fracture, but who knows...I'd probably dig, clean it out at least 4-5" deep and then consider using some hydraulic cement to plug it. To hold, it would need to be slightly rough and it would be good if it was flared some, so it would be like a tapered plug, with the smaller part at the top. Hydraulic cement sets up VERY quickly, and expands slightly when curing, so it makes a good thing to create a plug with.
To help minimize the problem, make sure that the landscaping around the house slopes away from the foundation for at least 10' and that any gutters discharge away from the house and that water doesn't pool next to the foundation. If you don't have gutters, you may want to consider adding some.

Tips and Advice
Books and More
Music Education
For Parents
For Teachers
A Few Helpful Hints:
1. Keep the listening experience an active one; involve the students in a variety of ways that encourage and provide multiple hearings. Give them specific things to listen for or do. Solicit and incorporate their best, most appropriate, creative ideas; give the students some ownership of the listening experience, within specific parameters.
2. Do not talk over the music; resist this temptation. Allow students to focus fully on the listening. Whenever asking questions or pointing out something in the music, pause the recording.
3. Model "listening behavior" for students. Use non-verbal cues or instrument cues that are not used in the recording (perhaps a hand drum, triangle, or finger cymbals) when needed.
4. Use the best-quality audio playback equipment for the most excellent recordings available to you. When playing our free online Naxos audio files (or another recording of the same musical work) for the students, do not just play the recording from a computer without quality playback that is the equivalent to at least a large 'boombox' or small stereo with external speakers. These must be capable of hearing clearly a wide range of volume from very soft to very loud without distortion.*
5. Consider re-using listening materials with their respective recordings in a listening center or station in your classroom, with 2–6 individual headphones or ear buds connected to the same playback source. This will encourage children to be "independent listeners." For very young children, put a red coding dot on the "STOP" button and a green coding dot on the "PLAY" button in a listening center.
6. Encourage children to describe or evaluate music in musical terms, and to be respectful listeners.
7. Break large works into small portions by only listening to a section at a time or a movement at a time. When moving to music, break class into smaller groups for each to have a turn at moving while others watch during sections of a longer work. (Give the Watchers something to evaluate.) Rotate instrument players, movers, or watchers on subsequent hearings of the selection, or pause the recording to switch and take turns.
8. Remember this adage: "ADD TO the music that is already valued by a child."
*Our society is used to very high quality sound reproduction available commercially everywhere – so we must provide that in our music classroom! (If this is not currently available to you for budget reasons, consider asking your parent–teacher organization or school's student council to purchase this for your classroom. It is something every student in your school will benefit from. Some teachers purchase their own.)

By Sarah Turner and Nick Godt, MarketWatch
MUMBAI (MarketWatch) — Asian shares mostly lost ground on Friday, with investors taking a lead from the U.S. and sending technology stocks lower, although emerging monetary-policy support helped lift China.
South Korea's Kospi /quotes/zigman/1652118/realtime KR:SEU -1.06% led the region lower with a 1.3% loss as a poor earnings report from LG Chem weighed. In Tokyo, the Nikkei Stock Average /quotes/zigman/5986735/realtime JP:NIK +0.23% fell 0.3%.
In China, however, the Shanghai Composite Index /quotes/zigman/1858913/realtime CN:000001 +0.89% ended with a 1.2% gain, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475/realtime HK:HSI -1.37% rose 0.1%.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index /quotes/zigman/1653884/realtime AU:XJO +0.24% gained 0.1%.
"I think that Asian markets right now have already factored in some short-term unfavorable factors. Markets are stabilizing, and easing of monetary policy is already on the way," said Linus Yip, strategist at First Shanghai Securities in Hong Kong.
"India has already cut rates, and China is still going for easing policy. So Asian markets as a whole I think will enter into a rebound in the next couple of weeks," Yip said.
Still, any bounce will likely be limited for Asian equity markets, Yip believes, unless signs emerge of more U.S. central bank action.
"The market is waiting for more liquidity — whether there will be [...] QE3 in the U.S.," he said.
U.S. shares took a second straight day of losses Thursday, as jobless claims hovered around a four-month high and as Europe's debt woes cast a cloud over markets. Read U.S. Market Snapshot.

"We believe the jury is still very much out on what direction things will take in peripheral [European] countries in the coming months. With a number of event risks, volatility is likely to remain elevated for the time being," said strategists at Barclays Capital.

LG Chem Ltd. /quotes/zigman/274096/realtime KR:051910 -0.74% tumbled 9.2% in Seoul after unveiling a much weaker-than-expected 42% drop in first-quarter net profit compared to the year-ago period. Elsewhere in the sector, Honam PetroChemical Corp. fell 8.3%.

Moyes' first task will be to allay Rooney concerns
Two weeks ago, Wayne Rooney reached the end of his tether. After months of frustration, he reportedly approached the club and once again asked for a transfer away from Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson never forgave Rooney for their 2010 contract dispute and pushed him to the point of departure. But the Scot has gone first. Addressing Rooney's future will be the first task the new manger faces.
David Moyes, the confirmed successor to Sir Alex, also fell out with Rooney, during the then-18-year-old's transfer from Everton to United in 2004. Additionally, Moyes was sufficiently upset by some of the comments made in Rooney's autobiography to take the striker to court in 2007.
- Video: Moyes appointed Man United manager
- O'Farrell: Moyes - The manager and the myths
- Bennett: Moyes steps into sky-high expectations
- Stats: How suited to Man United is Moyes?
However, it is generally accepted that peace has been made between the pair in the intervening years. Rooney is said to be grateful for the mentoring Moyes provided in his early years, and Moyes is proud of what Rooney has achieved.
Ferguson is a less forgiving soul, and in truth, Rooney has been mismanaged by the outgoing legend. Over the course of this season, Rooney has been moved all around the pitch from wide right, to centre midfield and centre forward. It has seemed at times as if Fergie was simply doing this to teach him a lesson.
Fergie hated to lose. But in 2010, when Rooney publicly questioned the ambitions of the club, he effectively held the manager over a barrel. Ferguson relented on Rooney's financial demands and granted him the contract he desired. But he didn't forget it.
What is more, Rooney has been shunned for the biggest games of this campaign for quite flimsy reasons. When the striker was dropped for the return matches against Real Madrid and Chelsea, it made no sense -- it still doesn't make any sense. The fact that United lost both of those games is also telling.
In his resignation statement on Wednesday, Ferguson was keen to outline the strength of the squad he is leaving behind. Whilst that is undeniably true, it is also a squad a bit heavy at the edges. There is a wealth of talented youngsters and a strong contingent of seasoned veterans. It contains only one player in his peak years, though: Rooney.
He is the player most likely to be United's key figure for the next five years. Rooney would almost certainly not have survived another season of Ferguson, but fate has given him another chance.
If Moyes and Rooney are as cordial as is reported nowadays, then things could perk up instantly for the striker. Unhappy players do not play well and Rooney's performances have been very patchy of late. Ferguson had pushed him to the edge when he made that alleged transfer request a fortnight ago.
When motivated, the England striker is a powerful asset to any football club. And getting him motivated is a situation desirable to Manchester United. Because if United let Rooney rediscover his love of the game at PSG, or even Chelsea or Manchester City, they will be much poorer for it.
On the new manger's first day at the office, he would be well advised to do the following: Tell Wayne Rooney that he wants to build the team around him and ask him which position he wants to play. It might be the only way to ensure he stays.

Post-Game: Sweet Revenge
It's amazing what can happen when you make the first save and score the first goal.
Perhaps it wasn't that simple, but the tone for the 7-3 win in the Mellon Arena was set by the Leafs' quick start out of the gate. Briefly interrupted by Evgeni Malkin's lone good play of the night, the Leafs owned this game plain and simple, from start to finish. The Blue and White out-possessed, outworked and outsmarted a Pens team that seemed to underestimate a young group that was fresh off a 8-5 beating at the hands of the Boston Bruins.

Global Epidemic
- 28 percent of adults in China smoke.
- Smoking rates are much higher among men than women; an estimated 53 percent of men and 2 percent of women smoke.
- Among 14 year olds, 11 percent of boys and 3 percent of girls smoke.
Health Consequences
- In China, approximately 1.3 million smokers die each year from tobacco-related diseases, and approximately 100,000 people die each year from exposure to secondhand smoke.
- If current trends continue, China's death toll from tobacco will reach 3.5 million per year by 2030.
Tobacco Industry
China is the world's largest producer and consumer of tobacco. The Chinese tobacco market is dominated by the government monopoly China National Tobacco Corporation (CNTC). CNTC holds 97 percent of the Chinese market. CNTC sold more than 2.4 trillion cigarettes in 2011.
Illicit Trade
China is the largest source of illicit cigarettes in the world, producing an estimated 400 billion counterfeit cigarettes every year. Ninety-nine percent of the United States illicit cigarette market and up to 80 percent of the European Union's illicit cigarette market is supplied by China.
FCTC Status
China ratified the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on August 28, 2005 and the treaty went into effect on January 9, 2006.
Tobacco Control Policy Status
Smoke-free environments: China does not have a comprehensive national smoke-free law. Legislation bans smoking in specific places. The Tobacco Monopoly Law requires that smoking be prohibited or restricted in public places and public transportation in general, and the MOH Regulations prohibit smoking in the 28 indoor public places. Sub-national jurisdictions have the authority to implement local smoke free policies.
Advertising, promotion and sponsorship: A national law bans tobacco advertising on movie, television, radio, and in newspapers and magazines. Local jurisdictions have the authority to regulate outdoor tobacco advertising and some have banned it. Tobacco companies can advertise their products at point of sale, through sponsored events and branded schools, on billboards, online, and through extensive advertising of affiliated companies with the same names as tobacco brands.
Warning labels: Warning labels are text-only, use small 6 point type, feature the same background color as the rest of the pack, and do not spell out specific health harms. Tobacco companies are allowed to design their own labels as long as they meet the minimum requirements set by the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration. Effective April 2012, a China National Tobacco Corporation notice required companies to abolish the English warning, enlarge the font to 4mm, and require the color shading between the text and the warning background to be obviously different. The CNTC notice is a self-regulation and not a legal enactment.
Tobacco taxes and price: Tobacco taxes remain low and the most popular brands of cigarettes are cheap. Government increased tobacco taxes in May 2009 but ordered the tobacco industry to absorb the increases, so prices have not risen and the tax increase has not produced public health benefits.

Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
Children who are overweight are now suffering from diseases once seen only in adults, such as hypertension, liver disease and Type 2 diabetes. That's why Children's launched Strong4Life, a wellness movement designed to ignite societal change and reverse the epidemic of childhood obesity and its associated diseases in Georgia.

Your donations directly impact the lives of each family served by Children's and support many initiatives such as clinical excellence, research, teaching, wellness and charity care.
Radiologist technician was very friendly and made my daughter feel very comfortable. Her MRI was done without having to be medicated. Good customer service from all hospital employees.
It's hard to say any one person. Everyone there was so kind and friendly. Really helped set my son at ease and I am thankful for that!
The X-Ray technologist was awesome! She went above and beyond for my daughter! She made my daughter excited to be there and comfortable during the procedure.
Everyone was very nice and I felt safe around them.
The techs were very nice to my daughter. They made her feel very comfortable.
Everyone was great.
The staff at this facility is awesome! Everyone we have ever encountered has been courteous, professional and compassionate. We have been coming here for three years. The hours are actually convenient for a working parent!
Our ultrasound tech was wonderful! She did such a great job with a three year old. We just loved her - She was very calming and made my daughter feel right at ease during her ultrasound!
Staff was excellent! Very friendly & professional!
The radiology team is led by J. Damien Grattan-Smith, M.D., Medical Director at Children's at Scottish Rite, and Stephen F. Simoneaux, M.D., Medical Director at Children's at Egleston.
At Children's, our pediatric-trained radiologists work to ensure every child has the least amount of radiation with every scan, while making sure our images are clear and actionable. There are several different ways radiation can be used to help children medically. Radiation can be used for imaging or for therapy.
Diagnostic imaging techniques using radiation include X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and nuclear medicine studies.
To keep children safer, our team uses some of the lowest possible radiation doses in the country. The Radiology Department at Children's:
Uses special age and weight specific techniques to make sure the right dose of radiation is used with each exam
Follows Image Gently and ALARA (As Low As Reasonable Achievable) guidelines for reducing radiation exposure
Ensures Radiologists and Technologists are recertified in pediatric-specific guidelines once a year, and Technologists hold advanced certifications from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists in their specialty area (such as CT)
Conducts annual inspections of all equipment to ensure safe operation and the lowest possible exposure to radiation

I went to this place in 1976, and had a devestating experience. My date and I were the only two people in the restaurant. He ordered a white wine instead of red wine by mistake.
The waitress went bat crazy yelling loudly at me and verbally abusing me! I thought she was having a nervous breakdown.
I could not believe what was happening! They all acted like this was normal behavior. I am a native New Yorker and have NEVER experienced a restaurant like this. I have NEVER forgotten that experience.
DO NOT GO HERE. Its not worth it with all the other choices you have in the city. You might get scarred for life.
Good food but horrible service – I enjoyed the cozy ambiance and paste entrees with my date. However, that was all detracted from by the less than helpful and arrogant servers. Took way too long to get our meals and drinks and I honestly can't see myself coming back here.
Rude and disrespectful - full review to follow – After my recent experience with the manager and the "bouncers" which I will document in a later comment - I would advise any one to frequent any one of the other numerous bars in the area. These people are real scum and just know that your $$ are going to people who really do not care about their repeat customers in any way.
like the rooftop bar – I just recently ventured to Sutton Place for the first time since living in NYC for a few years. I really enjoyed myself. Its very low key and a great place to grab drinks with friends and chill. This may have been because it was a Wednesday night so I cannot speak for the atmosphere on the weekends. I recommend this place.
Great food! – Recently ate at Sutton Place and the food was outstanding! Hats off to the chef!! It's too bad I had to wait so long to be seated, but the food made up for it! I will be going back again!
Great food – I found your establishment too expensive but I must compliment the food. Great pasta!!
Congratulations to the Chef. You are a great asset to the restaurant and hopefully they appreciate you.
great food – We have been there several times and in the the past, the staff has been rude and disrespectful.
In the past 2 months, the food has gone from "eh, okay" to "AWESOME.". Was the chef changed? If so, COMPLIMENTS to the chef!! I think the management has changed also, as the place is more cozy and friendly. Great place for a date or even just to hang out with friends. Great place to meet new friends as well.
The atmosphere of the establishment is now one of the best in Manhattan and I HIGHLY recommend it....
A++++ good time – Went there for a birthday party on the roof and had a blast!!!! Great crowd polite staff. Wonderful NYC experience
the guy on the phone was a dick. i wanted to order my sister a drink for her birthday and he was way to lazy to even listen so he just hung up on me. then he wouldnt pick up the calls untill i tried again from a restricted number. he is a f*cking dick
We are so sorry that you had a bad experience with us and are additionally sorry that it has taken so long to respond. We encourage you to come by Sutton Place in the near future as we have made significant changes with our team!
Oh Stop it's not that bad.... – I never usually write reviews but was surfing this sight and was extremely surprised by the amount of negative reviews. I work in at another bar a block away from Sutton and have gone there after work quite a few times. The bouncers and staff have been nothing but a pleasure, especially Bobby (a bartender) who often works the roof top or middle floor. The drinks are never lacking a substantial amount of alcohol. However I refuse to give five stars because I don't particularly find the crowd appealing.

Tuesday To Wednesday From 05:00 PM To 10:00 PM Thursday To Saturday From 05:00 PM To 11:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Tenderloin, Northeast
Farm fresh super local food in the Tenderloin – Local foodies and out-of-towners staying at the Mark Twain sink into chocolate-colored tufted booths at this Union Square-area restaurant surrounded by vintage boat oars, a giant clock, and paintings of fishermen and farmers. The New American menu changes daily, but one thing's certain: All ingredients originate from within 100 miles of the kitchen. Made-to-order, pan-cooked chowder--filled with plump seafood and a hint of smoky bacon--is perfect for chilly SF nights, while stellar entrees include a grilled pork chop, whose crispy edges give way to a super-juicy, salt-brined center, and a lovely grilled salmon gets paired with a variety of flavors, including tender squash, diced pancetta and housemade potato gnocchi. All-organic cocktails provide a chic spin on classics, such as the addictive Taylor St. margarita, served martini-style (sans salted rim) with sweet agave nectar.
very disappointing – We recently spent 6 days in San Francisco, and overall had excellent dining experiences. Fish & Farm was the exception. It was recommended by the concierge at our hotel, and we did manage to get seated despite no reservations. Cocktails were OK, not great. The waiter was snooty (we are well dressed professionals who fit in with the image), and as soon as our order was taken disappeared altogether. No vegetarian options on the menu, and when I asked the waiter for choices he unenthusiastically suggested one thing. (Most restaurants will gladly offer up something for vegetarians if asked). I ended up having the salmon, which was average, not as good as what I'd make at home. The accompanying potatoes, however, were delicious. My husband had the steak, which was a special for the evening. After accidentally eating a gob of fat, he began the laborious process of trimming his meat. Ended up with a large (large!) pile at the side of his plate. A good quarter of his meat was fat. Eww. Our water glasses were refilled only once, at the very end of our meal. Unfortunately, the gratuity is included in the price of the meal, which means we ended up "tipping" 20% for this expensive and unpleasant evening.
A very disappointing experience – This was indeed a very disappointing dining experience for all six members of our party. Them menu was very limited. The portions served were inconsistent, and the quality of the food was mediocre to acceptable. While there was a Dining About Town set menu, none of the items that appeared there were availble on the regular menu. "Chicken and Dumplings" consisted of one very small chicken leg and gnocchi. The salmon served to another member of our party was so small that "there was no room to print 42 cents on THAT postage stamp". The short ribs were tasty, according to the member of our party who ordered them. "Fish and Chips" were served with an enormous mound of oily, soggy French Fries. The service, while timely and efficient, was rather cold. The dessert menu was disappointing as well, and when we inquired about ice cream (Which appeared on the Dine About Town menu), we were told that there was absolutley no possibility that we could order it. Six potential orders of simple vanilla ice cream, at $8.00 each, were lost at that pont. The total bill for six was $330, which while certainly not exorbitant, was certainly very expensive for the selection and quality of our meals. While I love the idea of a restaurant that seeks to use local products, sustainable and seasonal, it can most definitely be achieved in a more tasty, client-friendly way. It is a shame...we had heard such good things about this restaurant. We were with good friends, and were eagerly looking forward to a delightful dinner before the theater.
Best everything – I love this place, best food between Montreal and San Francisco!!! Recommended to all everyday of the week.
Like Arnold say's "I'll be back". – Well I drove all the ways from El Dorado Hills, California after hearing about this 5 star restaurant. The drive was well worth it. The food was out standing. The service was second to none! I hope they expand to the foothills next. This was one of the best sea food restaurants I have ever tried. Two thumbs up. I can not say enough good about this restaurant. Like the Arnold say's "I'll be back".
I love me some cocktails! – My bf and I were staying at the hotel mark twain which is where the restaurant is located. We had had prior dinner plans so we went for a few before we had a few more if you know what I mean. The young bartender (male) was so sweet, very engaging, great conversation. I loved the bar set up. Great inventive cocktails. Check this place out.
Can be loud. – Dinner on 1-26-07. Attentive service. Lamb was incredibly tender. oysters fresh. Great wine list and glassware. This place was full until closing time. I would go back anytime. Great vibe. And, if you can make these dishes at home, you should open your own restaurant.
you could cook it the same at home – Went here the other night and with high expectations - unfortunately it did not live up to standard. Food quality was average, taste was average - but nothing was exciting about it. I could make the dishes at home and they would taste the same. Very hard to recommend this place to anyone - I don't forsee it lasting too much longer in the SF dining scene.
Great quality foods, professional wait staff and relaxing atmosphere! – Being a native, and not a fan of "Foo-Foo-Trendy" food, I was more than pleasantly surprised with the dining experience I received when my family dined here one evening. We arrived around 6:00 and were greeted immediately by a young woman who welcomed us into the restaurant . She seated our pary at a rear corner booth, just a short distance from the kitchen, usually not he best seat in the house, but in this case it wasn't noticeable. It didn't take me long to settle into the mood, as a few moments later a young waitress approached and asked if we would care for a cocktail. Within a few minutes a smooth Belevdere over was quenching my thirst. It seems that within five-minutes of being seated, we had received beverages, of various type, outstanding French bread & creamed butter, as well a listing of that evenings spepcials. I selected the bone-in Rib Eye steak with mashed potatoes and sauteed vegetables. My wife opted for the Fish & Chips. I ordered a tray of appetizers, which were quickly delivered, by a knowledgable, no-nonsense, friendly(and really cute) waitress.
These were soon devoured and were quickly followed by another order. There were four equally delicious items on the platter, two fish & two meat. I also ordered a special "Pork belly" appertizer with beans which was also delicious. A wine recommedation was made which was perfect with our meal. When our entrees arrived, they looked fabulous, reminding me of a Gourment magazine cover. My steak, done medium rare as ordered, was one of the best steaks I've eaten in years. The potatoes and vegetables were perfect accompanyment. My wifes fish was also perfectly cooked and lightly battered. Some little homemade breadstick things drove us wild! We were brought more as soon as I commented on them. There is also a small bar which was packed when I left. We had a great meal, in a friendly enviornment with great staff at a very reasonable price. Small & comfortable, I can't wait to return!
Fantastic – With no reservations and a bit of a late start (around 8PM) we had read reviews for Fish and Farm and thought to give it a try. I was a little skeptical as it is attached (very peripherally) to a not so fancy hotel. Anyway we got lucky with street parking and walked up -it was packed. The host and hostess were very friendly and suggested to go to the bar where we could also order food. We walked through a bustling cozy restaurant and went to the bar area. Everyone of the employees was friendly and helpful,. Also- the food was GREAT! We will absolutely be back and most likely in the next two weeks. We had the fava beans (you can eat the whole thing) squid and fish and chips and asparagus. Really really great. Oh and the wine and rink list is good. I should be paid for this review- but It is sincere AND we are picky about good food and service. We were happily surprised and will absolutely go back.
