Already Pregnant?
Baby Shower Bonus
Are you having a baby shower or planning one for a friend? MOFAS wants to help celebrate your alcohol-free pregnancy with an assortment of FREE 049 – zero alcohol for nine months items to share at your shower. Request a Baby Shower Bonus.
Celebrate an Alcohol-Free Pregnancy
Congratulations! The Minnesota Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (MOFAS) encourages you to celebrate an alcohol-free pregnancy. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause a range of lifelong physical, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities known as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). FASD cannot be cured, but it can be prevented by not drinking alcohol – including red wine, white wine, wine coolers, beer or hard liquor during your pregnancy. If you are pregnant, just remember 049 – zero alcohol for nine months. Request a FREE MOFAS Baby Shower Bonus.
Love. Hope. Joy. Three words that are inspiring, uplifting and empowering. And often times, describes a mom-to-be's emotions about her pregnancy and dreams for her child. Our Public Awareness Campaign Love. Hope. Joy.
What if I Drank Before I Knew I was Pregnant?
Don't panic. The best thing you can do is to stop drinking alcohol as soon as you know you are pregnant. The sooner you stop drinking which includes wine, wine coolers, beer and hard liquor, the better it will be for both you and your baby.
Then make sure you are maximizing those things you have control over like getting regular prenatal care, taking good care of yourself by stopping smoking, eating healthy and getting plenty of rest. It is also a good idea to talk to your health care provider about any concerns you may have.
Not every woman who consumes alcohol during pregnancy will give birth to a child with an FASD. However, because science has not determined a safe level of alcohol that can be consumed during pregnancy, the possibility of an FASD is created anytime a woman consumes alcohol while pregnant. Find answers to common questions you may have.
Concerned about Your Drinking?
While avoiding alcohol use during pregnancy may seem like a simple action to some, it is not always that easy for everyone. This is especially true for a person struggling with an alcohol addiction. Some individuals need extra help to abstain from alcohol when they are pregnant. Learn more about support and treatment options.

Nowadays, creating a blog is pretty easy thanks to web tools that are becoming easier and easier to use. Creating a blog that attracts a couple hundred or thousand visitors every day, however, is a different thing.
You will need the right tools, but also a strategy. If you push a website live tomorrow with a couple of articles on it and believe you will get traffic coming in quickly...think again.
If you don't have a real content strategy behind it as well as a promotion plan, your website will die pretty fast. To avoid this, here are three things you can do.
Your domain name
First of all, you need to pick a good domain name. One that will represent your brand, your website and also, you!
From an SEO perspective, it's not fun to change your domain name after already publishing content on your website. Especially if this content is already well-indexed in Google. For this reason, I advise you to spend some time doing some keyword research and define your website strategy to make sure that you will still like your domain name in a couple of years. You should take in consideration the following:
- The keywords included in your domain name. Brainstorm keywords that will represent your blog. Take the most important ones and pair them to create one that sounds well. For example, if you have a website about tourism in Ireland, make sure to include at least one of these two words in your domain name. This will help your visitors understand what your website is all about in two seconds. Keep it simple, and avoid any numbers or hyphens in it. This will only increase the chances that someone might make a mistake when typing it into their browser.
- Your domain should be short and on point. The longer it is, the more difficult it will be for people to remember it. The goal is to have a brand that is easily memorable. Let's take an example: If you have a tourism website about Ireland called DiscoverIreland.com or TourismIreland.com, people who visit will be more likely to remember it over names like GreenIsland.com or Emerald-Isle.com.
Define your content strategy
Your content strategy will be the heart of your blog. This is what is going to make your blog successful or not.
Internet users are connected online every day for many reasons. Most of them are searching for information about a defined topic. Famous blogs like Mashable and Techrunch have a very strong content strategy. And the content they post is what made them become some of the most visited blogs in the tech industry. So, how can you do it too?
First of all, you need to define precisely why you created a blog or wanted to create a blog. Do you have a specific reason, a specific objective? If we keep our example of a blog about Ireland, the main reason could be to help others develop an interest in touring Ireland by showcasing why they would want to visit.
Second of all, you will need to design your keyword hierarchy depending on your personas targeted:
Your keywords should match your website hierarchy. The deeper you go into your website, the more you will be focused on long tail keywords.
For our Ireland blog, the site in general will be targeting the keyword "Ireland." Then, we will have three different sub categories: Visit Ireland, Live in Ireland and Work in Ireland. All will target the word "Ireland," but will be a bit more detailed. Finally, in each of these sub categories, you will find detailed articles which aim to target long tails keyword in each of these sections. In "Visit Ireland," you will find "Visit Ireland in 1 week" or "Visit Ireland in 1 weekend." The URL for each of these sections and pages should also be pretty clear and reflect the name accurately. This will help Google understand the website structure as well as the user.
When you define the keywords relevant to your website, you will also need to think from an SEO perspective. Google Keyword Tool will be one of your best friends in this case. Ideally, you want keywords that:
- Are very relevant to your website;
- Have a high volume of monthly searches in the language and country targeted;
- Have a low level of competition (big brands or big websites already indexed for that keyword); and
- Nobody is bidding on in Google AdWords.
Note that this is a very high level overview of how your content strategy should be. You should also take into consideration your different personas (which are going to influence your website structure), the format of your content (How-to articles, "(number) reasons to" articles, etc.), the tone of your voice and the story you want to tell your visitors.
Your promotion plan
Finally, as soon as you have your content strategy done, you can think about your promotion plan. This is when it's time to spread the word about your blog.
Depending on the habits of your different personas, you will need to select the digital channels you want to promote your blog on. Most blogs use a mix of social media, email marketing and, sometimes, paid advertising.
First, develop a community around your website. You can develop it via multiples ways: Include a forum on your website to encourage user-generated content, increase the engagement around your brand and develop some content for long tail keywords.
Social networks are also a great way to build a community. If it makes sense for your personas, create a Facebook page or a Twitter account and start posting relevant content. Engage with your fans, ask them questions and answer their interrogations. If someone is happy about something, he or she will be more likely spread the word and contribute to your community's growth.
You should also look into setting up a newsletter for your blog. Have a module with a field where visitors can give their email address to receive all the new articles for free directly in their inbox. This a great way to build up a database for your blog.
Also, owning data is key. If you plan to make money with your blog later on, doing sponsorships or partnerships is a best practice, and having a database with name and emails of a targeted audience basically means you will be able to integrate your partner offers into your newsletter. This is a very powerful tool, especially if your data is really targeted.
If you have a bit of budget, you can also try running paid ads via Google or even on Facebook. Running display campaigns will help increase your awareness. Facebook ads are also working pretty well in general, and are usually cheaper than Google Ads. This is a great way to use the power of ads without spending too much money.
I hope these tips will be useful for your blog and help you build up your traffic. Don't forget that good content travels. Always prioritize quality to quantity; great quality content will always be recognized and shared more than basic, vanilla content.

Regression is an important Machine Learning technique for creating prediction models. Forecasting/Prediction is an important data analysis technique in todays marketplace. You are given data from disparate domain and asked to find relationships in the data and thus predict future trends/patterns of data. There are various software available to automatically do the model creation and learning part for you. However in this tutorial we will focus on programming linear regression in R programming language.
We will go through the internal working of a Linear Regression process. We will focus on the details of the mathematical/statistical steps involved and also in parallel show how to program these mathematical/statistical constructs in R. After completing this tutorial you could program your own linear regression models and change the parameters to suit your needs.
Programming Linear Regression in R is a trivial task, it does not require any extra package. We will discuss each mathematical step of Linear Regression and simultaneously program it in R.
Data Modelling is an important aspect of any Machine Learning task. In data modelling we try to figure out what attributes the data will have, how it should be represented, how it should be processed etc. For our current discussion we will consider the most commonly used housing price prediction problem as our use-case. In housing price prediction we have data with two dimensions:
In regression analysis we have a dependent attribute whose value we are interested to compute. We also have a set independent attributes that are used to find value of dependent attribute. In our case Area is the dependent attribute and Price is independent attribute.From here onwards we will represent Area as X and Price as Y.
Hypothesis represents the relationship between X and Y. In other words we want to represent Y as a function of X
eq. (1)
As we are using linear regression, will be a linear function of the type:
eq. (2)
here we will treat to be always 1 and will represent the Area of house. So the final hypothesis will be :
eq. (3)
We took few random values for X and Y and plotted them as follows:
In Fig 1 x-axis represents area of house and y-axis represents corresponding price of house. Now to create a Linear Regression prediction model we need to fit a line that best represents given data. Something similar to green line in Fig 2.
We could have various lines that could pass through the given data. But in linear regression we try to find the line that optimally fits that data i.e. the line is at minimum possible distance from each data point.
The test data for X-dimension and Y-dimension is:
x=c(2,2,3,4,3,6,5,4,5,7,6,9) y=c(2,3,3,4,5,5,6,7,7,7,8,9)
Now that we have defined the hypothesis, we need to focus on evaluating the parameters of the hypothesis. In the given hypothesis in eq. (3) and are variables and and are constants whose values we need to compute. To compute the values of thetas we need to create a cost function as follows:
eq. (4)
substituting value of we get
eq. (5)
Where: m=number of training examples or length of vectors x and y above. Super-script is not the power instead it denotes the training example
Here in eq. (4) we are trying to find the difference between the predicted value of y (price of house) denoted as and actual value of y denoted as . For programming linear regression in R we need initial values of and . Lets following values as initial values of parameters thetas (you could any random value):
theta0=10 theta1=10
R code for computing cost function is as follows:
J=function(x,y,theta0,theta1){ m=length(x) sum=0 for(i in 1:m){ sum=sum+((theta0+theta1*x[i]-y[i])^2) } sum=sum/(2*m) return(sum) }
From eq. 5 we could see that cost function depends on which in turn depends on values of and . So a plot of with respect to \theta_1$ will look something like:
A similar graph could be used for In order minimize we need to minimize the term . As and will be supplied externally in the form of training examples, hence to minimize this term we need to find the values of and that minimize this term.
If we take an arbitrary point on Fig 3. and make a small change in then there will be a small change in the value of . Similarly reducing the value of by a small amount will create a small change in the value of . If these small changes are very small then slowly with each step we will proceed towards the minimum value of . Mathematically we could represent this as:
eq. (6)
eq. (7)
Generalizing we could write:
eq. (8)
where j=0,1 and is learning parameter.
Note: One point of consideration here is that, both and will be updated simultaneously i.e. in one iteration the updated value of one could not be used in calculating the other.
Now we just need to compute the values of and to compute the minimized :
eq. (9)
eq. (10)
The R code for updating theta is:
updateTheta=function(x,y,theta0,theta1){ sum0=0 sum1=0 m=length(x) for(i in 1:m){ sum0=sum0+(theta0+theta1*x[i]-y[i]) sum1=sum1+((theta0+theta1*x[i]-y[i])*x[i]) } sum0=sum0/m sum1=sum1/m theta0=theta0-(alpha*sum0) theta1=theta1-(alpha*sum1) return(c(theta0,theta1)) }
Now that we have discussed the technicalities of Linear Regression, mentioned below is the complete code. You could change the parameters and play with the code. Once you execute the code you could see a red colored line in action that shows the learning process. After the model completes the learning the line converts to green color.
x=c(2,2,3,4,3,6,5,4,5,7,6,9) y=c(2,3,3,4,5,5,6,7,7,7,8,9) plot(x,y) theta0=10 theta1=10 alpha=0.0001 initialJ=100000 learningIterations=200000 J=function(x,y,theta0,theta1){ m=length(x) sum=0 for(i in 1:m){ sum=sum+((theta0+theta1*x[i]-y[i])^2) } sum=sum/(2*m) return(sum) } updateTheta=function(x,y,theta0,theta1){ sum0=0 sum1=0 m=length(x) for(i in 1:m){ sum0=sum0+(theta0+theta1*x[i]-y[i]) sum1=sum1+((theta0+theta1*x[i]-y[i])*x[i]) } sum0=sum0/m sum1=sum1/m theta0=theta0-(alpha*sum0) theta1=theta1-(alpha*sum1) return(c(theta0,theta1)) } for(i in 1:learningIterations){ thetas=updateTheta(x,y,theta0,theta1) tempSoln=0 tempSoln=J(x,y,theta0,theta1) if(tempSoln<initialJ){ initialJ=tempSoln } if(tempSoln>initialJ){ break } theta0=thetas[1] theta1=thetas[2] #print(thetas) #print(initialJ) plot(x,y) lines(x,(theta0+theta1*x), col="red") } lines(x,(theta0+theta1*x), col="green")

Update the forum?
I think an administrator should upgrade the forum to a newer version soon because there are many exploits, sql injections etc for low versions of PunBB. Just look at milw0rm.com they release exploits for public and anyone coud just search "Powered by PunBB 1.2.14" on google and easly hack forums like this. I mean this forum version was released for like 3 years ago.

Re: Update the forum?
lol punBB 12.16 is another security patch
punBB wrote:
keeping true to our promise of providing security updates for the 1.2 branch even though our focus right now surely is on 1.3, it is my pleasure to announce the release of PunBB 1.2.17. This update addresses two rather serious security vulnerabilities as well as a couple of other minor fixes and annoyances. PunBB 1.2.17 is a recommended update for all 1.2 installs.
Important! One of the vulnerabilities that were dealt with in 1.2.17 have to do with something called the cookie seed. The changes in 1.2.17 should protect you from the vulnerability, but we still recommend that you make one minor change to your installation to further harden your forum from attacks. To make the change, open up config.php and look for something along the lines of:
$cookie_seed = '5b16024c';
The seemingly random characters within single quotes will differ in your install. Now, either replace the random characters entirely or add a few extra characters to the end and/or the beginning of the string. You can use any characters you like. Avoid the single quote character though. When you're done, save and upload the file to your forum installation. The change will require users to re-login, but apart from that, everything should be the same.
Thanks to all the people who reported bugs and security problems

Re: Update the forum?
yeah, you're right - i should keep on top of it. Don't worry excessively though - the forum and entire userbase etc is backed up automatically every night so as long as someone tells me pronto I can just restore the site to its previous state before the hack.
Will look into updating it now.

In a bizarre turn of events that scream out "only in Hollywood," Val Kilmer has replaced Will Arnett as the voice of KITT in the forthcoming Knight Rider re-boot.
Arrested Development star Arnett had already completed his voiceover work on the TV movie, and according to Variety, NBC was happy with his performance.
Arnett has been working for General Motors for the last decade however, as the voice of GMC Trucks. With a Ford Mustang cast as KITT in the film, and with Ford taking an active role in the marketing and branding of the film, GM felt there was a conflict of interest and Arnett pulled out.
NBC has therefore signed up Top Gun star Kilmer a mere two weeks before the film airs, and will doubtless play up the fact that they now have a genuine movie star voicing the super-car in the run up to the film's premiere.
The new Knight Rider airs on NBC on February 17, and follows the adventures of Mike Tracer, son of the original show's hero, Michael Knight.

Many people do not realize that the familiar copyright symbol © is not mandatory under Canadian copyright law. Why then do we see that popular copyright symbol in every published book and on all sorts of copyright-protected materials?
The Copyright Symbol ©
The copyright symbol is a reminder to the world at large that copyright exists in a work. You place the symbol on your work – it becomes obvious to people that that article, blog post or image is protected by copyright. If you ever end up suing a possible copyright infringer for using your work without your permission, the copyright symbol provides evidence that the alleged infringer should have known that copyright existed in your work.
Locating a Copyright Owner
Using a copyright symbol may also help people who want to use your work to locate you and ask you for permission to use your work. Including your name is part of marking your copyright-protected works with the copyright symbol.
Suing for Copyright Infringement in the United States
Using the copyright symbol is also important if you are suing someone for copyright infringement in the United States since the U.S. Copyright Act precludes an alleged infringer from submitting that he did not know that copyright existed in a work where a proper copyright notice had been placed on the work.
Should You Use the Copyright Symbol?
Bottom line: although not mandatory under Canadian copyright law, you should consider placing the symbol along with year of first publication of the work and the name of the copyright owner on all content. Put it in a visible spot that is sure to alert the user. One format for this copyright marking is:
© 2014 Lesley Ellen Harris
You can go further and add a hyperlink so people who want to use your work can easily contact you. You can also add any wording to indicate any free uses of your content – uses that you do not necessarily want to be emailed about by persons requesting permissions.
For further information on using the copyright symbol in Canada, see pages 36 – 38, Canadian Copyright Law, Fourth Edition.
The International Copyright Symbol post sets out information on the copyright symbol symbol in Canada and internationally.

When a white boy runs his big mouth, the little bitch gets smacked hard. He gets knocked out cold before he hits the pavement. It's actually quite entertaining to watch. Poetic justice really.
That preppy little bitch, Josh, was trying to act all big in front of his friends by calling the Latino dude a "faggot" for talking to his girl. The soldado then bravely dropped Josh like a bad meth habit with an uppercut. The Ese then proceeded to perform a peckerwoodknockout on all of Josh's friends single-handedly like a true Aztec warrior.

Endorsements: U.S. Sen Dick Durbin, AFL-CIO, National Education Association, former state Sen. George Shadid, Illinois Hospital Association
JOBS: On the day I announced my candidacy for Congress, I stated job creation would be my top priority in office. The more time politicians in Washington spend playing partisan games with issues that divide our nation, the farther America falls behind the rest of the world in economic competitiveness. If we want to maintain our position as a world economic leader, the time to act is now. That is why I plan to get to work immediately on pushing for the rapid implementation of bipartisan actions I believe will foster private-sector job creation:
1. I will push for the creation of an Infrastructure Bank financed through repatriated corporate profits currently held in overseas tax shelters. In the short-term, this bipartisan proposal will upgrade our decaying infrastructure and put people back to work. In the long-term, investing in infrastructure that creates efficient transportation routes such as Interstates 74, 80, 88 and 39 will lay the foundation for future growth and prosperity in the 17th district.
2. We have recently seen growth in manufacturing jobs, and we need to institute policies that forward this goal. I would support policies that provide incentives for companies that keep American jobs in America and penalize those that ship jobs overseas. We also have what I have branded a "Manufacturing Triangle" in our district, with Peoria, Rockford and the Quad-Cities. We have the workforce and infrastructure here that makes the 17th District an attractive place for manufacturers to do business. We can further improve this by investing in workforce development programs through local community colleges.
3. I will support common-sense measures, such as streamlining the application process for federal grants and business loans, that make it easier for entrepreneurs to start new businesses and create jobs. The current application process for these programs is daunting for would-be entrepreneurs who can't afford expert legal guidance. The federal government can and should create one simple application form that can be easily accessed and completed by individual start-ups as well as regional economic partnerships in order to obtain funding already set aside for such job-creating ventures in the federal budget.
BUDGET/SPENDING: I favor a balanced approach toward eliminating the budget deficit that requires Washington to get more efficient and smarter, while making sure we protect the middle class and working families from higher taxes. The budget deficit is a serious problem that didn't get created overnight and won't get solved overnight. But we can't trust the politicians who created the fiscal mess in Washington to solve it. That's one reason I support a 10 percent pay cut for Congress and no pay raises until they balance the budget.
We can also take a hard look at Congressional perks funded by taxpayers that can be eliminated. In addition to reigning in Congressional pay and perks, we should also implement the recommendations of a nonpartisan Government Accountability Office report issued last year that found widespread waste and inefficiency in federal programs. For example, the federal government has 47 job training programs, 44 of which overlap. Simply consolidating programs that overlap can save tens of billions of dollars while not impacting program quality. Significant cost savings can also be found in rooting out waste and fraud in government contracts and in important programs like Medicare.
I believe any revenue increases should come first from measures like closing corporate tax loopholes, ending the Bush tax cuts for millionaires and rolling back any tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. We should also stop corporate handouts like tax breaks for oil companies, which have reaped billions in quarterly profits.
I would be open to changes to the U.S. tax code. It needs to be simplified so average Americans can understand it. Also, right now we have a tax code where many of the wealthiest Americans are paying a lower rate than the middle class. If given the opportunity to restructure the tax code, I would fight to make sure this is not the case.
ENERGY: America's economic future will depend on our ability to win the energy race. We need to get America running on clean energy. It's time to begin building our energy future in the Midwest not the Middle East. It's time to reduce our dependence on foreign oil by developing the technology that makes cars and trucks more efficient. That's technology we should be able to develop and manufacture here in what I have branded the "Manufacturing Triangle" from Peoria to the Quad-Cities to Rockford. We can lead the race to a clean energy future rooted in wind and solar power and energy efficiency technology.
While we are investing in America's workers and our technological know-how, we need to address our current energy needs. I support the Keystone Pipeline, which will also create American jobs. I am open to increased offshore domestic drilling, as long as environmental concerns are addressed.
Also, America has the ability to lead on finding renewable, green sources of energy. We are already seeing this in communities that sit on the Great Lakes. I would support this kind of innovation so we can develop more usable sources of sustainable energy and decrease our dependence on foreign o

Taipei, March 31 (CNA) A lawmaker called for Taiwan to join theinternational nuclear energy watchdog International Atomic EnergyAgency (IAEA) amid Japan's ongoing Fukushima nuclear power plantcrisis.Taiwan should actively seek IAEA membership, or at leastincreased participation in the international body, because theFukushima crisis has highlighted the importance of nuclear safety,John Chiang, a ruling Kuomintang (KMT) legislator, said in a sessionof the Legislative Yuan's Foreign and National Defense Committee.Taiwan has not been a member of the Austria-based organizationsince its seat in the United Nations (U.N.) was taken by the People'sRepublic of China in 1971."Taiwan's relations with the IAEA should be more than just aninspection destination for the regulatory body, " Chiang said.As a non-member, Taiwan, which currently operates three nuclearpower plants, was not able to attend the IAEA General Assembly andhas also been kept out of its technical meetings, which has hurtTaiwan's ability to obtain information on atomic technology andnuclear safety cooperation, Chiang went on.The legislator urged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) toinclude the IAEA among its high priority targets for internationalparticipation, along with the International Civil AviationOrganization (ICAO) and the United Nations Framework Convention onClimate Change (UNFCCC).Due to the potentially catastrophic impact of a nuclear crisis,China, which is on the IAEA's 35-member board, is not likely tooppose Taiwan's participation in the organization, Chiang said.Taiwan has maintained regular contact with the IAEA, ForeignMinister Timothy C.T. Yang said, adding that there are staffers fromthe Atomic Energy Council posted in Taiwan's representative office inAustria as liaisons. Yang agreed to further review Chiang's proposal.Taiwan signed an IAEA-ROC-USA "trilateral" safeguards agreementin Vienna in 1964 to transfer the responsibility of safeguardingnuclear materials from the United States to IAEA, according to theIAEA.Taiwan has continued its role as a strong supporter of theNon-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) after its departure from U.N. and IAEAin 1971. In 1998, Taiwan further agreed to a Model Protocol foradditional safeguards.The IAEA had 151 member states as of November 2010. (By Chris Wang)enditem/ly

BRAC Bank
Microfinance (Social)
BRAC Bank in Bangladesh was founded in 2001. The bank focuses on small and medium-sized enterprises. Access to credit provision is often difficult or limited for this sector. To increase its capital, BRAC Bank has decided to issue a convertible subordinated bond in local currency. Triodos Fair Share Fund and Triodos Microfinance Fund, together with the Dutch development bank FMO and the Norwegian Norfund, are among the first foreign investors in the bond. Their investment will stimulate the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in Bangladesh.
KEY INDICATORS as of 31 December 2014:
- number of loan clients: 223,225
- percentage female clients: 18%
- percentage rural clients: 33%
- average loan amount: EUR 4,757
- number of savings clients: 652,031
Whoever you are, and wherever you live in the world, you are likely to want permanent access to financial services. Microfinance banks play a crucial role providing access to finance to an increasing number of people living on low-incomes. We finance microfinance institutions because they help to build inclusive financial sectors, where the majority of people have access to financial services, leading to a sustainable basis for balanced social and economic development.

According to the post, the Lightning Express and Magic Carpets will be in operation for opening day with first chair at 9 a.m. It anticipates opening all runs west side of the Lightning Express excluding L'anse Aux Meadows. The complete list of runs will be available Saturday morning.
The hills also said it will be monitoring today's forecast and pending high winds, and will update their Facebook page with any changes.

While I don't have a copy on my desk just yet, the 2016 Poet's Market should be launching any day now. It's the 29th annual edition, and my 7th go-round with the book. Order your copy today!
The 2016 Poet's Market is the latest and greatest edition. Here are a few reasons why:
- Updated poetry publishing opportunities. The main benefit of Poet's Market has always been the hundreds of poetry-specific listings for book & chapbook publishers, magazines & journals, contests & awards, grants, and more!
- Business of poetry articles. Every year, Poet's Market includes articles on the business of poetry. This year's articles include pieces on organization, habits of highly productive poets, and more!
- Promotion of poetry articles. As with business articles, Poet's Market also includes articles focused on helping poets gain more readers. This year's offerings include articles on how to take poetry to new audiences, poetry on stage, and more!
- Craft of poetry articles. And since the poem is always the most important part of getting poetry published, Poet's Market also includes craft articles. This year's articles include a schematic for sculpting language, pieces on polishing and freshening poetry, and more!
- Creating and Re-creating Your Poetry for Publication webinar. For this webinar, I've combined two of my more popular poetry sessions (for live events) into one session that runs just a tad over an hour to help poets through the publication process from creation to revision to submitting their work. This webinar alone is usually more than three times the price of the book.
- Subscription to the poetry-related listings on WritersMarket.com. Each book comes with an activation code that can be used to sign up for a one-year subscription to the poetry-related information on WritersMarket.com, a database of listings that is updated throughout the year.
The Poet's Market retails at $29.99, which is kind of a great deal for all this information packed into one place anyway. But the Writer's Digest online shop currently has the book at a discounted price of $20.99–or 30% off the retail price. That's like a deal on top of a deal, right?!?

Alpha Controls & Services provided the highest energy savings for public facility customers in Northern Illinois
ROCKFORD, Ill (PRWEB) September 04, 2014
The state of Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) officially recognized Alpha Controls & Services as a leader in implementing energy saving projects for public facilities in Northern Illinois. Alpha Controls is a Trade Ally partner in the Illinois Energy Now Program, an energy efficiency program that provides millions of dollars in rebates to public facilities that make energy efficiency improvements to their electric and natural gas systems. For the 2014 program year, Alpha ranked third in the state and provided the highest energy savings for public facility customers in Northern Illinois.
Based in Rockford with offices in Champaign and Springfield, Alpha Controls is a member of the InsideIQ Building Automation Alliance, an international alliance of leading independent building automation contractors who share industry best practices in energy management to enable customers to maximize the efficiency of their systems and facilities. DCEO Trade Allies like Alpha are contractors who are experts in providing customized energy efficient solutions to clients in the public sector. Based on their understanding of the rules, regulations, and application process of the DCEO programs they help clients to navigate the system and receive the maximum amount of incentives. During the 2014 program year, Alpha assisted customers to earn more than $700,000 in grants for energy efficiency projects encompassing over 2.5 million square feet of space.
According to Jason Vogelbaugh, Alpha Controls & Services director of energy solutions, the company has a five step process to enable customers to improve the energy efficiency of their facilities:
- Benchmarking: Alpha applies the Energy Star Portfolio Manger to establish the energy efficiency of the facility
- Preliminary Analysis: Alpha examines how the customer uses energy
- Comprehensive Analysis: Alpha uses detailed energy modeling to determine specific energy conservation measures (ECMs) to apply to the facility
- Execute Plan: Alpha applies the recommended ECMs to the facility
- Measure & Verify: Alpha compares actual energy use to the model and makes adjustments as necessary to ensure the energy efficiency achieved matches the initial plan
"Using this model, Alpha has improved the energy efficiency of a variety of public facilities and delivered significant savings in utility and operating costs," said Vogelbaugh. "Many of these projects have resulted in the facility achieving Energy Star designation, which means the building performs in the top 25 percent of similar buildings. For example, our customer McHenry County has received the Energy Star for one of its buildings and two other facilities are qualified to apply for the designation."
A program of the Environmental Protection Agency, Energy Star is a voluntary partnership between businesses, government and others united to protect the environment by adopting energy‐efficient practices. "Energy Star offers benchmarking data on thousands of buildings of all types and sizes, making it an excellent source of authoritative, relevant and current data to measure and compare energy use in a facility and establish efficiency goals," said Vogelbaugh.
"Alpha Controls & Services is a leading provider of successful energy efficiency projects in Illinois and representative of the value that customers receive working with a member of the InsideIQ Building Automation Alliance," said Paul Strohm, vice president of InsideIQ. "Customers benefit from Alpha's local expertise combined with knowledge of industry best practices that Alpha has gained as a member of InsideIQ, where sharing of information allows member firms access to a large pool of knowledge."
Alpha Controls & Services not only assists customers to achieve energy efficiency, the company has Energy Star rated facilities in Rockford and Springfield, Ill. and Alpha is both an Energy Star Partner and a member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), sponsors of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) sustainable buildings program.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (NBC) - Air traffic controllers were so concerned when Northwest flight 188 flew past 15 miles Minneapolis Wednesday night, they were ready to scramble fighter jets to intercept the plane.
There were 13 separate attempts by different air traffic controllers to try to establish communications with northwest 188.
So, were the pilots dozing off or distracted? Either way, for the 145 passengers on board, it was a wild ride.
Lynn Jacobs was on that plane from San Diego when it overshot Minneapolis and went all the way to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, before pilots realized they'd gone too far
"They announced that we would be landing in twenty minutes," said passenger Lynn Jacobs. "And then about twenty minutes later they said we would be landing in fifteen minutes and then it was a longer period of time after that."
It was more than an hour before pilots finally landed the plane. They told officials they had been in a heated discussion and lost track of the radio and flight path.
In the air, officials made them do turns to prove it was the right people still at the controls.
But now the real unraveling begins. The plane's black boxes are at the NTSB in Washington, DC, but they may not have all the information officials were hoping for. The plane's older model cockpit voice recorder only has 30 minutes of tape, which would be after pilots realized their mistake.
The NTSB will try to get more answers from those pilots when they interview them next week. The pilots have been suspended.

RICHMOND HILL, ON., Sept. 29, 2016 /CNW/ - The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) determined that a passenger's unsafe behaviour and intoxication led to him falling overboard from the vessel Northern Spirit I in Toronto, Ontario, and subsequently drowning. The investigation also found that the crew's emergency response efforts were not coordinated. The findings are in the investigation report (M15C0094) released today.
On 13 June 2015, the Northern Spirit I was on an evening cruise when security guards near the bow of the vessel observed that one of the passengers was behaving erratically and appeared to be intoxicated. When the passenger was seen leaning over the upper deck railing on the starboard side, two security guards rushed over to him and attempted to prevent him from falling, but he went overboard. A guard advised the master of the situation, search and rescue authorities were alerted, and the vessel was maneuvered to return on a reverse track in an attempt to locate the passenger. Numerous first-responder organizations joined the search effort as the evening progressed, but the search was unsuccessful. The passenger's body was recovered 18 days later.
The investigation found that the passenger was intoxicated, and that he had been drinking before boarding and while on board the vessel. Security guards and crew members had not detected this during pre-boarding screening or on board the vessel, and the passenger had not been denied alcoholic beverage service. The passenger's high blood alcohol concentration affected motor skills and increased the risk of hypothermia, which decreases the chance of survival in the water.
Because the signal to initiate the man-overboard procedure was not sounded, the crew's response to the emergency was not coordinated and did not align with the company emergency procedures. In addition, there were delays in launching the vessel's emergency boat owing to its position on the vessel's stern. The investigation also found that if emergency procedures in the safety management system or muster list lack key details and do not fully account for all contingencies, there is a risk that opportunities to recover a person who has fallen overboard may be missed.
Although the crew had performed some emergency drills, they had not performed any man-overboard drills, which may have prevented the crew from being able to easily recall the steps to take during a person-overboard situation. There is a risk of increased death or injuries during emergencies if crew members do not practise drills for emergency procedures.
See the investigation page for more information.

About the Miller School
At the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications you'll find experienced instructors dedicated to preparing students to compete in the exciting, ever-changing field of journalism and mass communications.
Located on the campus of Kansas State University, we provide students with a relaxed environment rich with resources, hands-on experience and opportunities for the future.
Mission statement
- Pursue knowledge through creative works, research and innovative teaching.
- Encourage professional competencies, critical thinking, ethical decision-making and social responsibility.
- Serve our constituents as defenders of free expression in a dynamic, multicultural society.
Our nationally accredited program is named for A.Q. Miller of Belleville, who was a pioneer Kansas journalist. His son, Carl Miller, was a significant benefactor to the school. Carl, a former K-State journalism major, was the founding editor of the Pacific Coast edition of The Wall Street Journal. His 1987 gift resulted in naming the school after his father.
Kansas State has a rich journalism heritage. Instruction in printing was offered in 1874 - the first such program in the United States - and a journalism curriculum was formally established in 1910 with the hiring of a Kansas City Star editor. The term mass communications was added to our name in 1971 to reflect our broader curriculum.
The A.Q. Miller School supports K-State's mission statement and does our best to honor its purpose.
"Since its founding in 1863, the University has evolved into a modern institution of higher education, committed to quality programs, and responsive to a rapidly changing world and the aspirations of an increasingly diverse society. Together with other major comprehensive universities, Kansas State shares responsibilities for developing human potential, expanding knowledge, enriching cultural expression, and extending its expertise to individuals, business, education, and government. These responsibilities are addressed through an array of undergraduate and graduate degree programs, research and creative activities, and outreach and public service programs. In addition, its land-grant mandate, based on federal and state legislation, establishes a focus to its instructional, research, and extension activities which is unique among the Regents' institutions."
ASJMC national accreditation
The nationally accredited program -- one of the oldest in the nation -- began in 1910 and now has more than 4,600 alumni worldwide. The A.Q. Miller School offers specific sequences in print and electronic journalism, public relations, and advertising.
Students can enroll in their major courses early in their university experience, giving them the opportunity to advance as skilled creators and consumers of information.
Looking to the future
A career in journalism or mass communications requires knowledge of the latest trends in the industry, and the Media Convergence Center in Dole Hall is just one tool we use in our curriculum to provide our students real-world training.
In 2013, the A.Q. Miller School outlined its mission and plans (PDF) for contributing to achieving the university's and the college's vision for K-State 2025.

The holidays are fast approaching, and that means it is time to find some great outfits for upcoming parties and family gatherings.
I think for this time of year, you should break out the red! A red coat looks very festive when coming in from the cold. I plan on breaking out the red nail polish and my red tinted lip balm.
Another look I love is skirts and dresses with tights and heels. It's a perfect look for holiday events and effortlessly chic.
Finally, this is the time of year to get glamorous. Have fun with your outfits! A sequin cardigan adds glam with just the right amount of sparkle!
