Metro-North takes aim at sleep disorders among workers
Bronx derailment spurs new initiative
Metro-North is working with engineers and other unionized safety-critical personnel on a possible program to screen for sleep apnea and other disorders that could affect their qualifications to work, railroad officials said.
Metro-North spokeswoman Marjorie Anders said whether the railroad will ultimately adopt a screening program isn't certain, but if so, it would cover a wide range of operating personnel, including conductors, track workers, rail dispatchers and construction laborers.
"Metro-North is working with its unions on how to better address sleep apnea issues, but the railroad has not decided whether to go ahead with a testing program, much less what it would do or be," Anders said.
Two weeks ago, the National Transportation Safety Board revealed that William Rockefeller, the engineer operating the locomotive in a December derailment, had been diagnosed with sleep apnea after the crash. The derailment killed four people and injured dozens more.
The derailment is one of five accidents on the Metro-North rail system being investigated since May when an M8 train derailed in Bridgeport and struck another, injuring 76 people. The other three investigations involve the death of two track workers and the derailment of a CSX freight train carrying trash in the Bronx, N.Y.
The NTSB two weeks ago also found that Rockefeller had chlorpheniramine and salicylate in his urine, reflecting the use of antihistamine medication that can impair the ability to drive or operate heavy machinery.
Under Metro-North's operating rules, employees are prohibited from going on duty or remaining on duty while under the influence of prescription or over-the-counter medications that have potential side effects that impair alertness, coordination or reaction time.
Employees who need to use medication that could potentially affect their alertness are obligated under the rules to be given a review and approval from the railroad's medical officers.
Mike Doyle, general chairman for Association of Commuter Rail Employees Local Division 9, which represents the railroad's 350 engineers, said the union is cooperating with the railroad on getting a program started.
"Recognizing that an undiagnosed sleep disorder likely was a major factor in the tragic accident on Dec. 1, 2013, our organization is working with Metro-North to establish a program to help identify engineers who may suffer from the same medical condition," Doyle said in a statement.

BABSON PARK, Mass. – Behind the strength of a first-half goal from senior Molly Duffy (New Providence, N.J.) and freshman Morgan Gulliver's (Stamford, Conn.) tally early in the second half, second-seeded MIT turned back No. 3 Wellesley College, 2-1, on Saturday afternoon in a NEWMAC field hockey tournament semifinal at MacDowell Field. With the win, the nationally-ranked No. 20 Engineers (16-2) will be taking on No. 4 seed Springfield College in the championship game slated for 12:30 p.m. on Sunday. The showdown will be a rematch of the 2009 title game which MIT won, 4-2.
In a battle featuring the conference's two top defensive teams, scoring opportunities were at a premium throughout the first half. Wellesley's best chance in the opening stanza came just under eight minutes into the game as sophomore Meghan Peterson (Glastonbury, Conn.) hit a hard blast from the top of the arc off junior Kaitlyn Kirkaldy's (Middlebury, Vt.) penalty corner insert, but was denied by Engineers' sophomore goalkeeper Jenna Klein (Parma, Ohio). Sophomore Nathalie Gruet (Acton, Mass) got to the rebound but was again denied by Klein, keeping the game scoreless.
Just under two minutes later Duffy broke free inside the 25-yard line but Wellesley junior goalkeeper Brit Mscisz (Topsfield, Mass.) came charging off her line to block the shot attempt. Six minutes later, Mscisz blocked senior Molly McShane's (Lake Bluff, Ill.) shot off a centering pass at the 15:09 mark to keep MIT off the board.
The Engineers broke through late in the first half as Duffy knocked home her team-leading 17th goal of the season. Following a penalty corner, MIT maintained possession and after a scramble to gain control of the ball in front of the net, senior Kimberly Barker (Camden, N.Y.) got a stick on the loose ball, directing it to Duffy for the finish and a 1-0 lead with 7:04 left half.
Wellesley had an opportunity to draw even just over eight minutes into the second stanza as sophomore Lallie Lukens (Dakar, Senegal) hit a shot from just inside 10 yards that was deflected by Klein, and poked out of harm's way by MIT junior Michelle Teplensky (Somers, N.Y.) to remain ahead. Minutes later the Engineers capitalized on their best opportunity of the half, as Gulliver scored her seventh goal of the season to push their advantage to 2-0.
The play started with freshman Isabella DiDio (Jenkintown, Pa.) taking a penalty corner from the right side of the field. Following the insert, junior Maddy Wharton (Swarthmore, Pa.) swung a pass from the top of the arc to McShane on the left flank, who sent a strike to the front of the net where Gulliver redirected the ball past Msiscz in the 47th minute.
Klein would make the lead stand up for the Engineers, denying Kirkaldy from close range at 55:47, and senior Allison Robbins (Bennington, Vt.) exactly five minutes later on her blast from just inside the top of the arc off a penalty corner.
Wellesley ended the shutout with 30 seconds left in regulation, as senior Emily Lewis (Weston, Conn.) collected a loose ball in front of the cage and beat Klein for a team-high 15th goal of the season to cut the MIT lead to 2-1, but it would be its final scoring opportunity of the day.
Klein and Mscisz both made five saves on the afternoon while both squads were awarded eight penalty corners. MIT finished the day with a 15-11 advantage in shots.

Kings Have Long Arms .a.k.a. Adrian Flanaga, born on a park bench in Salford,during a heatwave in the seventies whilst his mother was watching the five a side football team, of irish/hungarian descent. Was expelled from school on his final day for trying to steal the school piano after doing a lone version of The Smiths Asleep at the end of year talent competition..After turning down a place at art college because the tutor "had mud in his hair" he got a job at a local taxi firm, saved some money, packed in his job, bought a cheap guitar, then travelled around europe only returning when the money ran out. He returned home to Salford and formed his first band Gay Village Security Firm which consisted of Adrian on vocals, bontempi organ and guitar, a cello player and a tea chest/nose flute player. After a series of shambolic live performances in the manchester area Adrian was soon expelled from the Manchester live scene for not possessing a beard. He sought sanctuary on the other side of the pennines, the city of Sheffield.
He chose Sheffield because like Salford it began with an S plus a hirsute face was not mandatory .Immediatly he fell in with the wrong crowd at an Absinthe bar in the town centre, this is where he met eccentric beat duo I.Monster.
Using all is Salfordian guile he managed to blag some free studio time off da Monster,locked himself in their studio with four bottles of wine, 900 mg of viagra, 5 vintage synths and a beatbox. Hours later he emerged from their studio, very drunk, with a vinyl cutting erection and with what would be his debut release on i.monsters label "TWINS OF EVIL"

was henneko the last anime they got?!?!!? nooooooooooooooooooo i really wanted them to get Hataraku Maou-sama! ah well, they still got the majority of anime i was planning on watching anyways
Hataraku Maou-sama! will def be an awesome anime

I think you meant to post this in the spring topic.
Hataraku Maou-sama! was announced as a Funimation simulcast 8 days ago. Perhaps you missed it because they list it under the English title The Devil is a Part-Timer!.
CR may get more anime later, but the lack of boxes means there is nothing currently in the pipeline. Before last season the "drop dead" period was around 6-7 weeks, but Little Busters! blew that away by raising the bar to 12 weeks (at least for two cour series).
Yes, that's my real age
It will be interesting to see if the pattern breaks that happened in the Spring extend to the Summer so that Crunchyroll has a shot at streaming C3-bu and Rozen Maiden (both TBS shows) and if Crunchyroll and Funimation both get Sailor Moon in addition to Daisuki. (Kodansha is likely on the Production Committee of Sailor Moon so we could see a repeat of what happened with Attack on Titan).
At the very least, Crunchyroll should have a good crop under continuing simulcasts into Summer that includes Attack on Titan .
lol thanks, i did. i was just waking up when i saw the spring boxes gone when henneko was announced and clicked on here thinking it said spring anime lol. just checked it out on funi and it looks like they run everything off hulu so since im already subbed to hulu then i gots nothing to worry about now
Hataraku Maou-sama! will def be an awesome anime
BLOOD LAD?!?! Yes . . . . Finally . . . . Been expectin that shizz for a year now. Heheh. >:D
coffee coffee cofeee
so far the the ones I'm most looking forward to are blood lad and the world only god knows
Wondering if Genshiken 2 is for Summer 2013 or for the Fall, Thoughts?
Haven't seen a date, just the green light announcement so far. The original green light was in January (March issue of Afternoon) so July is still possible. I read Afternoon magazine and the announcement has no details but says keep your eye on Afternoon magazine for details... so far in the April and May issues, no further details I'm afraid!

"Trench Talk": A Compelling Look at the Words of WWI
Any news event brings new terms and phrases to life while reinvigorating old ones. Look how the recent Presidential election spread malarkey, binders full of women, and bayonets across headlines and tweets. Forevermore, those words will jog the memory of anyone who was paying attention to the 2012 election.
The bigger the event, the bigger the linguistic impact. Case in point, World War I had an enormous influence on language, though that hasn't always been the perception. In the preface to their engaging book, Trench Talk: Words of the First World War, Peter Doyle and Julian Walker write, "One of the enduring myths of the first world war is that the experience of the trenches was not talked about." This book is a powerful debunking of that myth and a treasure for word-lovers. It's one of the most enjoyable word books I've read in a while.
Trench Talk strikes a difficult balance — always tricky in word books — between an overall narrative and treatment of individual words. In various chapters, introductory passages set the table for a buffet of terms, many of which are handsomely illustrated. The reproduction of posters, letters, and other documents from WWI are helpful in demonstrating how terms were used and giving the flavor of the times. This is a beautiful book that creates an effortless, pleasing reading experience that's in total contrast to the actual conflict it discusses, which, though it seems incomprehensible, killed 14 million people.
If, as the American Dialect Society picks a word of the year, a linguistic society were to pick a word of the war, it would have to be trench, a word that rose to huge prominence during this period. Trench fever and trench foot were suffered by soldiers, who used trench knives and trench clubs as weapons. These days, in the trenches is such a common term for any kind of hands-on experience — I've used it to describe working at a summer camp and grading student papers — that it's startling to be reminded of the realities of trench warfare. However, a joking definition published in a trench magazine shows that even in the most harrowing of circumstances, humor had a place: "TRENCH – So called from the trenchant remarks from those inhabiting them."
Despite the seemingly narrow focus of the subject matter, there's something for every type of word-lover in Trench Talk. Unexpectedly, this book enriched my knowledge of three of my favorite types of words: nonsense synonyms, TV words, and indefinite words. I had never heard of the term eye-wash, which the OED defines as "Something that is intended to obscure or conceal actual facts or motives; humbug, blarney; nonsense." That term dates from the 1880's but gained currency during WWI. I never knew old man — a term used on Battlestar Galactica — was a real-word military term, but I learned that it refers to senior officers in real life as well as Commander Adama in space. I had never heard of hooza-ma-kloo: a wonderful Canadian word for a doohickey. Doyle and Walker write, "There was a wide range of words to describe something whose name you had forgotten, particularly in a war characterized by the development of military technology," giving me a new appreciation for words like thingumyjig and hickeymadoodle.
Euphemisms abounded during WWI. I write the Evasive Maneuvers column on euphemisms, and I could probably squeeze a whole column out of Trench Talk. We may long for the bygone days when everyone spoke plainly and without obfuscation, but the huge amount of WWI euphemisms show that people — especially people discussing the death and destruction of war — have long needed soft, pillow-like words to cushion against the harshness of reality. Euphs included the accessory (cyanide gas), souveniring (looting), and chats — which weren't friendly talks, but pesky lice. There's a whole chapter on officialese, a language which "communicated nothing by way of information, but assured the reader that events were proceeding, being observed, and to some extent managed." In other words, officialese was a lot of eye-wash.
One of the most interesting aspects of this book is how recent lexical developments are echoed by words and terms that are almost 100 years old. For example, German sausage was redubbed Dunmow sausage, setting a precedent for liberty cabbage and freedom fries. DORA — the Defense of the Realm Act — gave the British government powers reminiscent of the Patriot Act. Just as high school seniors suffer from senioritis, soldiers suffered from trenchitis, which combined frustration, stress, and longing for home. The term Mespot — used disparagingly for the campaign in the area that would become Iraq — is a harbinger of Jon Stewart's Mess-O-Potamia coinage. Times change, but the English language keeps pulling similar rabbits out of its hat.
I think any word-lover would enjoy this book. If you're a history buff too, it's a must-have. It expertly balances context and trivia, history and lexicon, gravitas and humor. Doyle and Walker make a powerful case that perhaps "the destructivity of the war had to be balanced by creativity in language." That's hardly a balance, but it is fascinating.

DAYTON, Ohio (Nov. 8, 2007) -- The ETSU men's basketball team will open its 2007-08 season Saturday at Atlantic 10 foe Dayton, with tip scheduled for 2 p.m. in the University of Dayton Arena.
The Buccaneers, who are coming off a 2006-07 season in which they won 24 games and the Atlantic Sun Conference regular season title, face a daunting early season schedule which begins with this meeting against the Flyers, but also includes road matchups with Oklahoma State, Syracuse, Georgia, Marshall and Chattanooga.
Fans unable to attend the game in Dayton can listen live to the MSHA Buccaneer Sports Network broadcast at ETSUBucs.com, and Dayton will offer live video streaming of the game at their website. The link to Dayton's stream is located above.
For more on the Bucs as they enter the 2007-08 season, read the season preview below:
A seven-time NCAA Tournament participant, the ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2007-08 season fresh off an Atlantic Sun Conference regular season championship and the program's second trip to the National Invitation Tournament. With a 24-10 overall record and a 16-2 conference mark a year ago, the Bucs have built a great deal of excitement and momentum heading into the upcoming campaign.
The Bucs, who will be looking to make their third trip to the NCAA Tournament in the last six seasons, will be led by junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), who comes off a season in which he averaged 18.1 points and 3.7 assists per game on way to being named the A-Sun Player of the Year. While Pigram is the team's most heralded star, he is joined by a group of talented returning players including A-Sun All-Freshman team selection guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.), sophomore guard Dequan Twilley (Shelbyville), senior post Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) and senior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna). In addition, fifth-year senior Travis Strong (Memphis), the only remaining link to the Bucs' last NCAA Tournament trip in 2004, returns from a knee injury that cost him the 2006-07 season, while redshirt freshman Micah Williams (Manchester) hopes a year of working out and developing his talents pays off.
One newcomer that will be looked upon to provide significant playing time includes JuCo Division II Player of the Year Kevin Tiggs (
While the Bucs have the type of returning players and newcomers to build some preseason enthusiasm, a brutal pre-conference schedule will test the Bucs early and often. For instance, along with home games against 2007 NCAA Tournament participant Eastern Kentucky (Nov. 17) and 2007 NIT participant Appalachian State (Dec. 30), the Bucs will play a three-game road swing beginning at Big 12 member Oklahoma State (Dec. 8), then facing Big East foe Syracuse (Dec. 15), and meeting SEC opponent Georgia (Dec. 21) in the first round of the Rainbow Classic in Hawaii.
Along with Pigram, 2007 A-Sun Coach of the Year Murry Bartow will enter his fifth season at the helm of the Buccaneer ship with the core of his backcourt still intact. Smith returns after a season in which he finished second on the team with an average of 11 points and 3.7 rebounds a game at the wing, with Twilley back after averaging a team-best 4.0 assists per game in 27 minutes of action a contest as a freshman. Along with that trio, the Bucs can also play Swader and Tiggs at either the small forward or wing position, while Davis, Williams, Hubbard and Strong also give the team a great deal of depth on the perimeter.
With a transition oriented offense and stingy defensive style of play a year ago, the Bucs won 24 games and a conference title, so it is likely the team will take on a similar look again this year. In 2006-07, ETSU led the A-Sun in steals (9.9 spg), while also ranking second in assists per game, giving a clear indication of how important those two aspects of perimeter play are to the Bucs' success.
With the departure of senior's Brad Nuckles and Eryk Thomas, the Bucs have lost their two most dependable inside defenders and shot blockers from a year ago. That leaves Reed, along with sophomore Blake Mishler (
Again, the Bucs face a daunting schedule this year, which includes home games against former Ohio Valley Conference rival
In addition, the team will participate in the ESPN Bracketbuster Saturday, facing an opponent yet to be determined in the nationally televised annual event scheduled for late February. The Bucs' game with Georgia will be played in the first round of the Rainbow Classic, which will see the Bucs play three games in total during their stay in Honolulu, Hawaii. All those games and a 16 game conference slate will prepare the Bucs for another run at the NCAA Tournament in the Atlantic Sun Conference Championships March 5-8 in

Jonathan Groff | Actor
He closed out last year as the voice of the rugged mountain man romantic lead in Disney's animated feature "Frozen." But things are about to get less PG for Jonathan Groff.
The 28-year-old actor is switching out the unadulterated fun for adult-only fun when he stars in the HBO series "Looking." The half-hour dramedy, from Michael Lannan and Andrew Haigh ("Weekend"), centers on three gay friends navigating adulthood in progressive San...

RALEIGH � After months of grumbling by Republican legislators, a lease deal between former Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue and the city of Raleigh over 325 acres where a mental hospital once stood has been shelved until next year.
Gov. Pat McCrory's office on Tuesday provided The Associated Press a copy of an agreement the city and the governor's administration signed earlier this month which puts the existing 75-year lease for the closed Dorothea Dix campus on hold until next June. The city won't make lease payments or go ahead with development on what local officials envision as an oasis near downtown. Both sides plan to assess the land's environmental condition and market value.
Former Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue signed the $68 million lease with Raleigh officials last year just before leaving office. Republican senators earlier this year demanded the deal be scrapped. The deal was challenged by Republicans who lead both the state House and Senate.
The Senate voted to dissolve the city's lease immediately, saying it didn't represent the property's fair-market value and failed to protect health services as the property was originally intended. House leaders and McCrory wanted to wait until April for time to work out another deal. City officials threatened to sue if the lease was voided.
"We're going to let the governor and his people and the city negotiate," said Sen. Louis Pate, R-Wayne, who introduced legislation to scrap the lease. "I don't think anyone wouldn't like to see a park built. The stumbling block is how do we get there and how can the state protect its investment?"
McCrory is pleased that the agreement will give the state and Raleigh officials more time to negotiate an agreement that is acceptable for both parties involved, spokesman Ryan Tronovitch said.
The lease calls for Raleigh to pay $500,000 a year, plus 1.5 percent annual increases, in a deal worth $68 million over 75 years.
The site is named for Dix, an early mental health advocate who was instrumental in launching institutions in the 19th century, including the now-shuttered hospital on the property named for her. It stood there for 150 years.

If you wrote the story of Edward Snowden as a novel, no one would buy it, literally or figuratively. It requires the suspension of too much disbelief.
Who could possibly believe that a 29-year-old guy with little formal schooling could land a plum job at the National Security Agency and get top-level security clearance — and pull down a $200,000-a-year salary? How could he climb so quickly to a position where he could access the most closely held government secrets?
But wait. Imagine the same young man decides to leak vast amounts of classified information to the press because he disagrees with what he perceives as inappropriate intelligence gathering on the part of the administration. Then he flees to Hong Kong. Then he disappears. Then the story comes out that he met his press contacts in a Hong Kong hotel, and they knew it was he because he carried a prearranged prop — a Rubik's Cube.
We all know by now that the story is real and that Snowden, an NSA employee, did indeed leak thousands of secret government documents to Ewen MacAskill, a Guardian newspaper reporter, Glenn Greenwald, a civil-liberties writer, and Laura Poitras, a filmmaker. In an interview, Snowden said that while working at the NSA he saw "disturbing" things on a "frequent basis" and decided that what he saw was evidence of government snooping into private lives.
It is common knowledge that in the years since 9/11, the American government has been collecting information on individuals and groups in an effort to avoid further terrorist attacks at home. I've always assumed that meant looking at phone records, Internet communications and real-time gatherings of suspicious individuals. I know the operative word is "suspicious," and the dicey issue is who gets to decide who should be followed or recorded or interviewed.

Item Description
Territorial Census, 1855, District 13
Author: Jolly, H. B.
Date: January-February, 1855
This census was taken in order to determine eligible voters for elections to be held as proclaimed by Governor Andrew Reeder on November 10, 1854. The categories for information in the census were name, occupation, age, male, female, emigrated from, native of United States, naturalized citizen, declarant (intention to become a citizen), Negro, slave, and voter. Only white males over 21 were eligible to vote. The districts used for the census were the same as the election districts. A statistical summary of the census follows the enumeration pages. For District 13 the place of election was the house of G. M. Dyer, at the town of Ozawkie. The boundaries of each district were described in Governor Reeder's proclamation and it is difficult to determine what counties were in each district. The description of the Thirteenth District follows: "Commencing in the Kansas River, three miles above the mouth of Stranger Creek; thence in a northwardly direction by a line three miles west of said creek, and corresponding to the courses thereof until it shall strike the southern line of the last Kickapoo reservation; thence along the southern and western line of said reservation, and the western line of the late Sac and Fox reservation to the north line of the Territory; thence west along said line to the line of the Twelfth District; thence by the same and down Soldier's Creek to the mouth thereof, and down the Kansas River to the place of beginning." Districts 13 and 15 are included in one volume and are scanned as one as it is difficult to determine which entries are in what district.

Dance On Film: Martha Graham On Film
- Library Hall
A film by Nathan Kroll.
The Dance on Film series is presented by Bud Werner Memorial Library, Perry-Mansfield and Steamboat Dance Theatre. The free screening includes an introduction by dance history professor and Perry-Mansfield Executive Director Joan Lazarus.
About Martha Graham on Film
As a dancer and choreographer, Martha Graham was a revolutionary, exchanging the flowing movements of traditional ballet for an approach far more jagged and Cubist. Though her legacy remains controversial, it is undeniable that Graham's impassioned forms helped give birth to the rise of modern dance. This collection of films offers a rare glimpse into Graham's world, both as choreographer and performer.
One of the great artistic forces of the twentieth century, Martha Graham influenced dance worldwide. This film presents a sampling of her stunning craft, all collaborations with television arts-programming pioneer Nathan Kroll. A Dancer's World (1957), narrated by Graham herself, is a glimpse into her class work and methodology. Appalachian Spring (1958) and Night Journey (1961) are two complete Graham ballets, the first a celebration of the American pioneer spirit, scored by Aaron Copland, the second a powerfully physical rendering of the Oedipus myth. These are signature Graham works and tributes to the art of the human body.
Read an essay about the film and the iconic Martha Graham pieces here.
Run time: 93 min.

In 1985, he was appointed Librarian of the Supreme Court of the United States, where he also served as a statutory officer of the court until 1988. He served as the director of the Judge Kathryn J. DuFour Law Library of the Columbus School of Law from 1988-2013.

Ashdowne necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 44 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
We are a legitimate site that helps people find a way to make a few hundred dollars extra per month. We don't promise millions. That's always a scam. But taking surveys at home and getting paid by market research companies is legit and we want to convey that in our site. We want to convey authenticity, trustworthiness and a very real sense of honesty about this opportunity. Also that we do not charge our customers. It's a free service. We are paid entirely by the market research companies.
Our market is mostly stay at home moms, retired people and students. Or anyone for whom an extra $400 or so a month would be a big deal.
This is an easy project. All we want is a simple redesign of our primary landing page. And here's something different: conversion is NOT our primary need. We need a site that looks professional and pleasing to the eye and satisfies Google Adword's landing page guidelines related to relevancy, uniqueness and transparency. We can take care of those things, you just have to make the site look professionally done.
The current landing page design is at: http://www.surveymoneymachines.com. We need all those basic elements on the page: Logo, headline, simple navigation, content, registration box, mini-faq's (now in the orange box), testimonials, and the information about what makes us unique.
Feel free to change the picture for Hailey to a different person.
I recommend that you add pictures to the testimonials (you can use stock images and if you give us the link to the image, we can go buy those pictures)
We have focused on the color green in the past, but you are invited to submit multiple color schemes.
We know that there is too much white space on the current version. Feel free to eliminate that. We're amateurs. :)
We loosely referenced the design of Apple.com for our navigation and title bars on the page elements. You're welcome to stick with this type of style or use your own idea.
The objective is to get people to read the headline. Then the subhead, then the first sentence. Then the 2nd sentence, and so on. The idea is to engage the visitor as quickly as possible, make them believe that we are a legitimate site, and get them to register. Feel free to change our site radically to something we haven't thought of. The reason there is so much text on the page is because Adwords wants good content on landing pages. We can reduce that somewhat if needed. Feel free to experiment.
Use whatever design elements you think makes this page look more professional and trustworthy. Make us look like we spent a lot of money making a great website. :)
As a reference, please see another site of ours: http://www.surveyprofits.com -- this site is very high in conversions, but it does not satisfy Adword's tastes. Too flashy. Great conversions, but not enough content. We have to balance between a design intended for conversion (a registration), and a site that Adwords thinks has high quality content.
The new design needs to look professional and believable.
This is not necessary, but if you want to look at Adword's guidelines, please refer to

[quote="joel"]Congrats! I would bump your calories up another 100 to at least 1900. One of the great myths about weight loss is the idea that if you eat 200 more calories than your daily allowance you gain weight. The truth is that our metabolism is somewhat elastic. It tends to burn the extra calories off through heating you up. We all know this is true of young people. The trick when you are a bit older is to let the extra 100 calories come from things that make your body work, and to make the extra 100-200 calories a separate meal. Try some roughage (RAW, thick fibrous veggies) with a bit of dense protein. The dose is fine on the L-carnitine. Higher doses are better. You need at least 2 grams to get it to work. I take about 4 grams per day. The extra coq10 is fine as well. Both of these things work to improve fat metabolism.[/quote]

I'm on day 4 of sticking to my eating plan. Now I need to get back on an exercise routine and supplements. I hope others are having success in their weight loss goals!

Post subject: back on the wagon
Well, after 10 days of total chaos and no exercise, I realized that all the time I thought nothing was happening because the scale wasn't moving, actually many things WERE happening. I felt better!!! Had to go out of town and had some crazy days with family and work trials, which led to ignoring my plan. Add the holiday weekend and pecan pie in and I'm more than ready to get back on track!! I've also missed the interaction and advice of this column.
Back to getting 100 lbs off!!

Post subject: more weight loss stuff
That level of cardio is not something you or anyone else can do forever. It's simply to get the weight off.
If we take a long term view of weight loss, the one constant for most people is gaining the weight back over a 2 year period. There are a number of reasons why this is so. Dean and I have a book coming out to explain all of the hormonal reactions involved, but the basic idea is simply HOW you get the weight off will determine if you can keep it off.
Going this route - eating a bit more and exercising more to get the weight off prevents a compensation down the line from the hormones that control food intake. Let's look at a pyramid of things you can do that will have an impact
- Cutting out processed carbs like liquid sugars (including juices) makes a nice difference over the long haul
- eating mostly whole foods will have a huge impact. I say "mostly whole" because nobody can eat whole foods all the time. But make no mistake, the heart of the problem is simply processed food. If we were all stuck on an island and could only eat whole foods in the form of nuts, fruits, roots, and lean meats from grass fed animals or seafood, no one would have a weight problem. It's only when we get into manufactured foods that we introduce a weight problem and a craving problem. These foods induce cravings.
- Using exercise to get your weight off will give you a big advantage over cutting calories.
That's the basic formula. Couple of minor things are take some minerals at bedtime and you may try some milk thistle to give the liver a bit of a lift.

I'm sticking with this and I still haven't gotten to that 1 hr of cardio a day. The only positive is that it wouldn't be forever because 1 - 1 1/2 hr a day simply isn't realistic for me if it's forever. If this will switch the hormones and still allow me to eat like a human at that 1900'ish daily calorie, this is what I have to do.
I'm going to push for that extra 30 - 45 min this week and hope to see the scales move. I feel like I'm on the edge of success and need to close my eyes and just jump!!
Your input is a big part of keeping me motivated. The science and chemistry of this fat I've battled my whole life is sinking in. I just wish it was a little easier!
Thanks! And on to a new day!

Post subject: Weight loss
Don't fret too much. A 5lb swing in either direction is normal on any given day simply based on water weight alone.
There are 2 ways to do this. One is through strict dieting. Unfortunately, drastic dieting produces drastic changes in the hormones that control long term eating behavior so this is not optimal.
The second way is to establish a pattern of eating you can live with and let exercise get the weight off. This is preferable.
The thing you have to remember is that you need minimum of an hour day, ideally, an hour and 1/2 per day to really be effective. I wish there were some way to sugar coat this but there isn't.
Remember - hormones are everything! Fat cells act as storage compartments for the hormones cortisol, leptin and adiponektin. When you have too much bodyfat, what happens is your fat cells actively secrete excess amounts of these hormones into your bloodstream, the net effect being large amounts of excess bodyfat hormonally create a hormonal environment that wires the body to gain weight and make fat loss harder.
The way to combat a hormonal disadvantage is to give yourself as many hormonal advantages as possible. Exercise is a huge hormonal advantage. The benefits are far too many to list, but that hour to hour and 1/2 per day, gives you a hormonal advantage, where cutting calories only puts you at a hormonal disadvantage. The other way you give yourself a hormonal advantage is by eating more fats like extra virgin olive oil, EPA oil, avocado, artichoke and eating or cutting out entirely processed starchy/bready/liquid carbohydrates. Another way to give yourself hormonal advantage is through meal patterning. I can't get into that here but VEEP will automate all that for you.
Let me finish by saying that what you want is to make a 1 TIME INVESTMENT. You don't want to keep doing this. So it's going to ask more of you initially, but giving more up front negates the hormone rebound 1 year later.

I'm trying very hard to keep this field tilted, but I'm hoping all of these changes take some time??? I have not blown my diet, kept up the supplements, but only was able to walk 35 min over the weekend. And I'm up 3 lbs from the 4 lb loss.
I've only been following your plan for about 4 days, so tell me that I'm being too impatient, PLEASE. I can't believe that I'm not losing weight after such horrible over-eating the past 2 years and now keeping my diet on track.
I'm cursed! If I'm going to gain 3 lbs I could at least have eaten cheesecake! LOL *Monday morning blues*

Post subject: food and hormones
What we have been doing with you is using foods to alter your hormone profile. All of this stuff is built into the VEEP system, which is what is going to make the thing so darn cool.
In your case
- the olive oil speeds up brown fat burning
- the whey isolate improves serotonin and insulin function
- the green beans increase digestive energy expenditure
- the extra calories increase your bodies heat production and calorie burn
All of these things combined help to tilt the playing field in your favor.

I'm really pleased and have been using raw green beans for snacking. I'll bump up the supplements and expect great things over the weekend when I can definitely get the full hour of cardio in too.
It's such a relief not to worry about the strict/low calorie count!
And the whey isolate is a real surprise. I always thought that stuff was for body builders, but this is 140 cals, 4 g carb and 28 g protein. What a no-brainer for upping my protein without the carbs!!
I'll be really confident if everything is still working on Monday - thank you so much for your advice!!

Ok.. coincidence or olive oil?
I lost 4 lbs. Yesterday I took 500mg L-Carnitine, 200 mg (bought this instead of 50 mg by mistake) coQ10 and 1/4 t olive oil before doing 30 min on treadmill at +10 incline. I sweat but didn't feel overheated. Then I took another 500 mg L-Carnitine + 8 oz shake of Whey Isolate 28. I also took 2400 mg Omega 3-6-9 (fish, flax, borage) during the day. I kept calories at about 1800. Then did a 45 min yoga class.
Should I worry about the 200 mg coQ10 instead of the 50 you recommended? I'm still a little hesitant about 2g L-Carnitine (I took 1g total) is there any harm in that dosage? I'm excited about making progress!!! Thanks!!

I forgot to mention this, the VEEP mentioned supplementing my diet with Whey Isolate.
What do you think of that? I did purchase some and after reading the nutritional label am thinking that this may help balance the protein/carb ration of my diet while still getting adequate calories. Should I use this?

I have so much to thank Bill Gates for: introducing me to the baffling joys of consumer computing with Windows 95; teaching me the meaning of fear and dread with Windows 98; leading me to the sunlit uplands of Windows XP; getting me out of Microsoft altogether with the arrival of Vista. I hardly know where to start. And if I hadn't flown into a high-minded anti-Microsoft, down-with-Bill-Gates fury at the start of this year, would I ever have stumbled upon ZenWalk? I doubt it.

RE[2]: Audacious
by wirespot on Thu 14th Jun 2007 12:52 UTC in reply to "RE: Audacious"
That depends on what you want. Some people just want a little something that plays music, and something like Audacious is just right for them. Some people want a music library, and so Amarok is the thing.
It has a lot to do with personal taste. People develop a very personal relation with their music, and it shows in their choice of a player.

Mississippi 2012by Lee Cline '66 • September 24, 2012 Share:
Our Wabash Day, Fall 2012, was a pleasant morning at the Laurel/Jones County
Animal Rescue League, a no kill facility that we have helped for four years. Those
present were myself, Tamarco White ' 06, Trey Chinn '07, Tariq Kanan '12 and
Cynthia Parsley, a friend of mine who is active in Rescue League activities. We did
the normal clean up of the outer grounds and after this was complete, turned to a
clearing project" that we have conducted for two years now, clearing another section
brush growth and small trees at the back end of the main fenced yard. This allows more
room for potential adopters of shelter animals to walk and get to know their new family
We then adjourned to the Cline Home for some subs, chips, and salad with
beverages and fellowship before returning home. A Spring Wabash Day will also
be held to continue our progress in the clearing activities.

The threat of weekend thunderstorms could bring much-needed moisture to a huge wildfire in the Southern California mountains near Palm Springs.
Unfortunately it could also bring wind, lightning and other volatile conditions that could make a tough firefight even worse.
Combined with hot air on the ground, the unstable air could create a strong updraft that draws smoke high into the atmosphere, fire spokesman Capt. Mike Lindbery said.
If the smoke column rises too high, moisture at the top could freeze and the weight of the ice could cause the column to collapse, creating a powerful downdraft in all directions.
"We're very concerned because this is the condition in the past that has definitely caused big firestorms and the death of citizens and firefighters," Lindbery said.
Storm cells approached the area Friday afternoon but dissipated before reaching the fire zone. But the threat would remain on Saturday and through the weekend, and fire officials hoped it would be mild cloud cover and high humidity that could help in the firefight.
The blaze in the San Jacinto Mountains had expanded to roughly 42 square miles and was 15 percent contained, US Forest Service spokeswoman Kate Kramer said.
Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, filling in for a vacationing Gov. Jerry Brown, declared a state of emergency for the area Friday night, freeing up more state funding and other resources to help with the protracted firefight that has already cost nearly $11 million.
Mandatory evacuations remained in place for a fourth day for about 6,000 people, and officials had advised another 700 to evacuate.
Some communities on the eastern edge of the fire were reopened to residents, but about 5,600 homes remained under potential threat.
The fire was less than two miles from Idyllwild on its western flank. It was a similar distance from Palm Springs below on the desert floor, where an enormous plume of smoke could be seen, but the blaze was showing little threat of moving toward the much larger city.
Popular campgrounds, hiking trails and a 30-mile section of the Pacific Crest Trail, which runs from the Mexican border to Canada, remained closed.
Nearly 3,500 firefighters, aided by nearly 30 aircraft, battled the fire, which stretched in elevation from 4,000 feet to 9,000 feet along the mountains, putting crews in temperatures from a comfortable 75 degrees to a scorching 110.
Authorities said the fire was human-caused, but they wouldn't say whether it was accidental or intentional. There have been no reports of injuries.
The fire, which began Monday, has burned six homes and mobile homes, one cabin, and more than a dozen other buildings.
Idyllwild resident Steve Hamlet had been watching a growing smoke cloud since Monday and evacuated his home with his 12-year-old grandson as flames crept closer.
On Friday, he worried whether he had packed the right things — and worried about his wife, who had stayed behind.
"Do I take pictures? Do I take bills? Do I take legal documents? Or do I just take my grandson and I?" Hamlet said at a local evacuation shelter.
He and his grandson tried to check on his wife Thursday but were turned away at a road block after driving 25 miles up the mountain, he said.
"She knows enough when it's time to leave," he said.

Readers who live in the United States are probably familiar with a long-running series of Capital One Services commercials in which a horde of barbarians gleefully prepare to pillage an unsuspecting consumer's finances. But then, the consumer pulls out a Capital One card. The barbarians are defeated and the consumer goes on with life, blissfully unaware of his or her close call with the apocalypse. Lately, that commercial makes me think of the SQLCLR.
Years before the release of SQL Server 2005, the general consensus among SQL Server experts and pundits alike was that the SQLCLR had the potential to rain doom and destruction of epic proportions upon the unsuspecting heads of the world's DBAs and their carefully maintained relational databases. Presumably, the sanctity of the world's SQL Server databases had long been protected by these DBAs in shining armor who successfully kept the hordes of barbarian developers from overrunning their relational database strongholds. Needless to say, any self-respecting DBA knows that a barbarian developer must never be allowed to run amok within the core relational engine. Anarchy would surely result. Sure, a few moderately enlightened developers might be able to figure out how to write stored procedures, but the saintly DBA would always have the ability to fix code that didn't meet the company's high performance standards.
Egads! Might the SQLCLR provide those devious barbarian developers an effective way to ford our relational moats, destroying the peace and tranquility of our relational villages and subjecting our kinfolk to a life of servitude under the draconian rule of illiterates unable to chant the key tenets of relational theory?
Fast forward. It's almost a year since the release of SQL Server 2005. Harmony still exists. In fact, I don't see many customers using the SQLCLR at all. Perhaps those barbarian developers are more cunning than the noble DBA gave them credit for? Perhaps they're biding their time, hoping that the DBA will grow complacent and say, "Sure, we can turn on the SQLCLR."
Okay, arguably, the danger is real. The SQLCLR does have the potential to be used poorly. But I'm still a bit surprised by the low number of customers who seem to be dabbling with it. We had a SQL Server Magazine editor's conference call the other day, and I raised the topic to make sure I wasn't all wet in wondering about this apparent slow adoption. Most of my colleagues confirmed my observation, and most of us thought that the fact that the SQLCLR doesn't seem be getting much use might be a good thing. But in some circumstances, the SQLCLR would be a wonderful tool. (No, I'm not going to tell you what it's good for this week. Writing a weekly editorial is pretty hard, and I need to save something interesting to write about in upcoming weeks.)
I'm glad the SQLCLR isn't being used poorly, but I wonder why it's not being used for good. Perhaps you, our faithful readers, know the answer. Please share your stories about why you are or aren't using the SQLCLR and your opinions about why it doesn't seem to be getting more use in the SQL community. And yes, your responses will give me interesting fodder for yet another weekly editorial, so I'm coming out way ahead in my writing schedule this week!

BIRMINGHAM, UK, 9 November 2012—The OCLC EMEA Regional Council Executive Committee have announced the programme for its fourth Regional Meeting which will take place on the 26 and 27 February 2013 in Strasbourg, France, with the theme "Dynamic Data: a world of possibilities." Topics will include linked data, augmented reality and text-mining. Harvard University Fellows Erez Lieberman Aiden and Jean-Baptiste Michel will present their acclaimed research, conducted on the text of millions of digitised books, which uncovered fascinating new insights about our culture, in a keynote presentation.
Anja Smit, University Librarian, Utrecht University and Chair of OCLC EMEA Regional Council said "The importance of our annual Regional Meeting is that it provides a chance for OCLC members and others across the EMEA Region to come together. This is a wonderful opportunity: let's not forget that the Europe, Middle East and Africa Region, one of three Regions in the OCLC global cooperative, includes around 2,000 Member institutions and 7,000 organisations using OCLC services."
The Meeting promises to be even bigger than previous years, with seven parallel member sessions to choose from, as well as a rich and varied programme of speakers. "We have been overwhelmed by the interest from libraries to present their own experiences to other member libraries," said Fiona Leslie, OCLC EMEA Marketing Manager. "We are particularly pleased that libraries implementing the new WorldShare management services have stepped forward as we know that there will be great interest in their observations."
For libraries finding out about the programme for the first time, it is not too late to get involved. OCLC are offering poster sessions this year, so that representatives of libraries can talk about their own innovations with data. Submissions are open and can be made here.
There is also an enrichment programme accompanying the Meeting, with visits to the region's finest libraries. Prior to the Meeting, libraries can receive a guided tour of the European Parliament and on day two, there will be a visit to Mediathèque André Malraux. And for those of wishing to extend their stay, there will be a wonderful opportunity to visit the Bibliothèque Municipale in Colmar where a guided tour in English will be given of its 15th and 16th century unique collections.
The Meeting is open to all libraries and cultural institutions. More information on the programme and registration can be found at: www.oclc.org/content/go/en/emearc-mtg-2013.
