Teeth Whitening
Bleaching is one of the most commonly sought elective dental procedures to brighten a smile. It is a simple, fast and effective treatment to change darker shades into lighter ones. This process is most non-invasive.
Our teeth yellow as we age. Coffee, tea, soy sauce, cigarettes etc. will hasten this process. Many of you parents noticed that when the adult teeth appear in your children, they seem more yellow than the remaining primary (milk) teeth. Human teeth are inherently yellow from the start and only get worse with time. The whitening process will not lighten the tooth colored fillings or porcelain or acrylic crowns.
Extrinsic Stain: Oral habits such as tobacco chewing, smoking, colored beverages, poor oral hygiene and betel nut chewing cause this type of stain.
Intrinsic Stain: May be caused due to hypo-calcification during tooth formation, which leads to discoloration ranging from discreet light yellow spots to dark brown areas. Certain drugs like tetracycline or minocycline when administered at the time of formation of the dentition can cause intrinsic stains.
Extrinsic strains are better managed by bleaching as compared to the intrinsic stains.
· Possible side effects include increased sensitivity to cold during the treatment, tongue and lip soreness and possible sore throat irritation. These side effects most always resolve in one to three days after completion or interruption of treatment.

This post comes to us from Brett Tolley, NAMA's community organizer.
I'll admit it -- I'm a huge Dave Matthews fan. Long ago I happened upon a discarded Dave CD in the woods by my high school. I dusted the dirt off and rocked out in my 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit (which I bought by digging steamer clams). It was love at first "Song that Jane Likes".
So when Farm Aid invited NAMA to join this year's event (for the 7th year in a row) you can imagine my excitement. Dave Matthews is a Farm Aid board member and performs each year. But looking back, it wasn't Dave or the other rock legends that stood out. It was the family farmers whose words, stories, and messages hit me harder than anything I ever blasted from my old beat-up VW.
So when Farm Aid invited NAMA to join this year's event (for the 7th year in a row) you can imagine my excitement. Dave Matthews is a Farm Aid board member and performs each year. But looking back, it wasn't Dave or the other rock legends that stood out. It was the family farmers whose words, stories, and messages hit me harder than anything I ever blasted from my old beat-up VW.
Farm Aid -- the US's longest running "concert for a cause" is not just an event, it's a non-profit organization advancing the good food movement, supporting family farmers, and reshaping the system to reflect values such as justice, diversity, democracy, and sustainability. At NAMA we share these values and were honored to take part in our necessary work to build bridges between family farmers and fishers.
|Fish and farm advocates stand together at 30th Anniversary of Farm Aid in Chicago.
An overarching theme of this year's Farm Aid was intergenerational knowledge and the "passing of the baton" between the movement's seasoned veterans and its new emerging leaders. As a young leader myself I was ready to sponge up everything I could. These are my top takeaways.
Takeaway 1: Don't Be Afraid to Ask for Help
David Senter, a farmer and leader of the American Agriculture Movement, told stories about the country's first "tractor-cades" -- convoys of farmers on their tractors bringing their complaints to policy makers. In 1977 David led a tractorcade to the Texas capital and upon arriving he confronted a police officer. The officer asked, "What are you doing?" And with a smile David responded, "We're here to protest... now if someone could just show us how to go about doing that, we'd appreciate it."
Similar to family fishermen, family farmers weren't always familiar with protest tactics and methods for movement building. Like a fish out of water, this can feel uncomfortable and lead to doubt or resistance. One farmer I met told me ...
These same words could have been spoken along any docks of any given fish pier up and down any coast.
David inspired a movement of tractorcades across the country that eventually converged on Washington DC where thousands of farmers banded together to take on the injustices of the agriculture system. In the fish world we may not be there yet, but we're making headway.
|Tractorcades across the country helped spark a movement in support
of family farmer livelihoods and against industrial food monopolies
A farmer said to me, "We have a generational crisis on our hands. You won't believe this, but the average age of a farmer is around 60 years old." I said yes I believe you, because that's the same average age as the fishermen.
In both farming and fishing communities young people are being told there is no hope. Which is why Farm Aid designed workshops to address this challenge and ensure the younger people entering the movement are well equipped and supported.
|A new generation of fisher & healthy ocean advocates testify
with community-based fishermen at recent New England Council meetings
Takeaway 3: Keep Hope Alive
Mark Ritchie, former Minnesota Secretary of State and farmer advocate, said that if we are to succeed, we must keep hope alive. And to keep hope alive, we must continue building relationships and strengthening our networks. This reminded me of words from a fishing mentor that, "for relationship building, there is no substitute for face to face time and real human interaction. Today's computer technology is great, but don't forget that real connections are made it person."
Direct in-person connections are what helped spark the United Farmer and Rancher Congress in 1986 where 2,000 farmers traveled to St. Louis, Missouri. The gathering of rural caucuses across the country put forward policy solutions that stemmed the tide of the farming crisis and established the Farm Aid network -- still going strong for 30 years. Maybe its time for a 2nd United Farmer, Rancher, and FISHER Congress?! Count me on board.
Overall, I left Farm Aid inspired and energized. And in the words of Dave Matthews...

FourFourTwo's Best 100 Football Players in the World 2014: 20-11
The experts have been consulted, the contenders have been discussed, and the arguments have been had (several times over). Now it's here - FourFourTwo's eighth annual countdown of the world's 100 best football players.
Below are numbers 20-11, including the world's best defender, a 26-year-old veteran and the man who dictates Madrid's rhythm.
Words: Matt Allen, Joe Brewin, Gregg Davies, Huw Davies, Jonathan Fadugba, Nick Harper, Louis Massarella, James Maw, Nick Moore and Gary Parkinson.
20. Yaya Toure
Did you know? Toure is the joint-top scoring midfield player in the top five European leagues in 2014 so far, with 14 goals.
In May 2012, with Man City needing a win at Newcastle, Roberto Mancini substituted Samir Nasri for Nigel de Jong. Brows furrowed but the switch allowed Toure to stride forward, dominate Newcastle and score the goals that won that first title as surely as did Sergio Aguero's subsequent and somewhat more Hollywood effort. Two seasons later, with Aguero frequently injured, it was Toure who again stepped up, scoring 20 league goals to drag the Sky Blues back to title triumph. At his best Toure is as unstoppable as a muscular 15-year-old ringer in a primary school game, swatting past floundering opponents before unleashing shots of technical beauty. City's big question is not where to play him but how to even consider replacing a man who turns 32 at season's end. GP
INTERVIEW Toure: Dominate the middle of the park

System Modification
Budget $250-750 USD
System modification and enhancement
This project builds on an existing program. The existing system is currently operational and utilizes a mySql database. The new design, including data entry screens, database table layout, and system modification is completed and will be provided.
The existing program does the following: Displays a transparent background overlay video (webm video format) and a time delayed call-to-action overlay button over a client's existing web page by executing a short JS script that has been placed in the header of the client's webpage.
The object of this project is (1) to separate the overlay call-to-action button system and create a simple member system that is Id and password protected (2) to add the capability of displaying an overlay aweber/getresponse form instead of the call-to-action button (3) to create a good looking GUI member site (all the design and layout of the member data entry screens, field interaction with the database, and database table layouts will be provided) (4) the current system coding needs to be reviewed and possibly re-written to better accommodate the member screens (4) within the existing coding structure the Bootstrap CSS design framework has been used and needs to be eliminated and replaced (5) currently the overlays do not display properly using the Samsung browser and certain WordPress themes. The system needs to be corrected to more universally display the overlays properly. (6) The system needs to be very responsive to mobile users.
If you are interested and have the capabilities to accomplish the above task please give an initial estimate of your fixed fee. If selected as one of the finalists I will provide the complete detailed program design and you will be able to adjust your bid if you feel it is necessary. Note: the above is really a complete system design with screen and database layouts provided. If you do adjust your bid there will need to be a good reason. All code is to be provided and I will provide full access to a cpanel account for delivery of the system. I will retain all copyright, process, and design layout rights and confidentiality on your part is expected. Upon acceptance I will escrow the agreed upon fee to be released upon project completion and passing of final testing. I need the whole project completed… partial work does me no good. I am providing complete functional design specs and layouts… I need you to do the coding.

Aamir said he will spend his birthday with family members. "I will spend time with my family during the day and in the evening, my brother and two sisters will meet at my mother's place."
Revealing that he quit smoking this year on January 1, the actor said his birthday resolution is to try new things.
And when asked on how did he achieve this look, he said, "I was burning 4500 calories a day in USA through biking, trekking, swimming and a lot of other activities. I ate less and worked out more. The maths was that I ate 1500 calories and burned about 4500. The deficit was more so weight was decreasing fast, but it was unhealthy as the deficit should not be more than 25 percent."

In recognition of National Correctional Officers and Employees Week, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department would like to thank the dedicated and hardworking professionals who make up our custody staff.
We recognize that these individuals have a demanding and dangerous job, and we are grateful for the vital public safety service they provide to our community.
On Monday, the Sheriff's Department welcomed four new custody deputies to the team. Sheriff Bill Brown swore in the custody deputies at a hiring ceremony at the Sheriff's Department headquarters in Santa Barbara attended by family, friends and Sheriff's Department employees.
"We are pleased to welcome these new custody deputies within our ranks," Chief Deputy Laz Salinas said. "Our entire staff is looking forward to adding talented and motivated individuals to our family. The job is difficult and challenging requiring dedicated employees willing to sacrifice their time, energy and at times their personal safety in order to ensure our communities are safe. Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office custody deputies and our support staff, provide for a safe and secure facility, intended to reduce recidivism by providing programing and services in a positive and meaningful environment."
The tradition of celebrating National Correctional Officers and Employees Week during the first week of May began in 1984 under a proclamation signed by former President Ronald Reagan. The observation started out as National Correctional Officers Week and was modified by Congress in 1996 to National Correctional Officers and Employees Week to include all correctional professionals.

CRB Tech Reviews Suggested 8 Best Way to learn .net.
.NET designers are in popular requirement and will remain. Unfortunately, it can be a daunting system to understand — especially if you are a candidate new to growth or have never used .Net or C++. However, once over the most popular problem, you'll find it to be a fulfilling and pleasant system to make for to be come a .net developer and if you want you can also be a part of the .net training.
1. Taking a webpage from secret techniques for understand PHP, neglect the haters. Almost all ASP.NET's experts are children who know nothing about the system other than it was produced by Microsoft; they have not invested 5 minutes with it to come up with any type of advised viewpoint. While there are certainly legitimate criticisms of the system, they are generally produced by designers who not only know C# and the .NET Structure, but PHP, Ruby, C++, Java, and other systems.
2. ASP.NET is often wrongly believed of as a growth language; it is actually a system designed on .NET's Common Terminology Playback (CLR), the element of the .NET Structure accountable for performing .NET programs. Because of this, a .NET designer can use whatever .NET-enabled language they want to make their ASP.NET program. This indicates you can make a program in C#, Visual Core .NET, Python, PHP, Perl, and many other 'languages'.
3. There is a good number of ASP.NET guides in the world, but there are bad guides, good guides, and ideal guides. Starting ASP.NET 4 in C# and VB in the beginning when strolling you through downloading and installing a free edition of Visual Studio known as Web Developer Show. You'll then begin your ASP.NET trip, studying format, controls, styles, and additional functions of the system. Just as Visual C# 2010 Phase by Phase gives you firm base in C#, Spaanjaars' Starting ASP.NET 4 in C# and VB gives you a firm base in ASP.NET fundamental principles.
4. Reading is one thing; doing is another. While you certainly followed along with the illustrations in the past detailed guides, doing something on your own is one of the most effective ways to understand. So for this task, make something. Developing your own writing a blog engine, boards, or to-do record will put what you've discovered into exercise.
5. The WebForms technological innovation you have been using up to this point is just one of the growth styles you can use to make ASP.NET programs. A second growth design is ASP.NET MVC. It's still ASP.NET but uses a different growth design known as Model-View-Controller (MVC), and it is clearly different than WebForms.
6. Parts of this guide will be analyzed from the ASP.NET from The begining screencasts, but it does protect other subjects such as Test Driven Development (TDD), protection, and increasing MVC, as well as jump further into subjects protected in the ASP.NET from The begining video clips.
7. Just as composing something for Task 3 assisted strengthen knowing of ASP.NET WebForms, you need to create something using the MVC Structure. When you understand a new terminology or design, you like to reword an current venture using your newly found information. So for this assignment, reword the app you had written for Task 3, but use the MVC Structure instead of WebForms. This reword should conform to the same specifications as Task 3, and it has the same additional credit score.
8. Computer technological innovation is a fast-paced market, and ASP.NET is no exemption. Since its launch in 2002, ASP.NET has gone through five significant editions (and one factor release), with a new edition arriving this year, and ASP.NET MVC has seen three editions since its 2009 launch. Factors shift rather easily, and maintaining up with the changes and developments of new editions are a requirement.

How Narendra Modi took over Gujarat BJP, pushed out rivals
The BJP's Gujarat unit is loyal first to an individual and not the party or its ideology. The Gujarat BJP is today one man who has pushed out all potential competitors, writes Aakar Patel.india Updated: Oct 11, 2012 14:55 IST
Kashiram Rana died a few weeks ago, on August 31.
In 1989, the first election I could vote in at age 19, Kashiram became Member of Parliament from my city, Surat.
He won again in 1991, and kept on winning. 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2004: Six terms in all. He sat in the Lok Sabha through the prime ministerships of VP Singh, Chandrasekhar, Narasimha Rao, Deve Gowda, I K Gujral, Atal Behari Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh: Seven prime ministers. He served as a union minister and was undefeated when his term ended in 2009. I was 39 that year and had never known another MP for Surat in the 20 years that I had been a voter.
When he died, chief minster Narendra Modi tweeted: "Sad to know of demise of Shri Kashiram Rana. Coming from a simple family, he rose to great height & spent his life in service of the people".
If Modi really believed these nice things he said, he had a surprising way of showing it. Rana was denied the ticket to contest from Surat in 2009. A newcomer, Darshana Jhardosh was given it instead. This cannot be because the seat was under threat. Surat is a safe BJP seat, and Kashiram was unconquered. The reason he was elbowed out is that Modi was threatened by the men who built the BJP in Gujarat. Gradually, as he enters his twelfth year as chief minister, Modi has pushed out the men he thought of as his rivals - the men who turned Gujarat from a solid Congress state to a solid BJP state.
Today they have no place in the new BJP. Former chief minister Keshubhai Patel, who was in the cabinet of the government that took power after the Emergency, is forced to rebel against his party. Why? Not because he has a problem with the BJP or its policies. But because Modi will not share power. Former chief minister Suresh Mehta is also out for the same reason. Gordhan Zadafiya, who was Modi's deputy as home minister during those awful days of 2002, is also campaigning against his party, though the anger is all about Modi.
After he was told he would not get the BJP ticket, Kashiram stayed at home, moaning to those who would listen about the injustice done to him. He had never been in any party other than the BJP. Reluctantly, he joined Keshubhai in the geriatrics' rebellion. He was pushed out at a point when, purely by seniority, he would have been in the running for a very serious post in the Centre -- home minister, perhaps -- if the Congress lost the next elections.
Across the state -- Mehta in Kutchh, Patel in Saurashtra, Kashiram in South Gujarat -- the old guard has been dismantled.
The Gujarat BJP is today one man. A most charismatic man, yes, and a brilliant organiser, yes. One of the best speakers in India, yes. But only a man. After him, the BJP, which is tumescent with the idea of him conquering Delhi, will be left with a state unit whose entire cadre is loyal first to an individual, to whom they owe their position, not the party or its ideology.
Aakar Patel is a writer and a columnist. The views expressed are personal.

Security: CVE-2015-1782
By default libtool replaces -export-symbols <file> with -retain-symbols-file
<file> on ELF systems, but this doesn't really do what -export-symbols is
meant to do. On GNU ELF systems it converts <file> to a simple version
script first and then uses -version-script instead of -retain-symbols-file.

Bump PORTREVISION on all ports where the build log contains -export-symbols.
audio/calf: This port builds a module that now exports only one function,
but it also builds a number of executables that link to this module and
expect to see other functions. Because it's already a bit dodgy to link to
a module (libtool warns about this) let the module continue to export only
one function and instead build an ordinary library from the same source that
the executables can link to. Fix a number of other issues in the same

Argh. So, the update notifier was wrong, and 0.2 is not a new release
(of course), but I was fooled because there's a separate project called
libssh which *did* just have a new release. 1.0 is the real update.
Pointed out by: J. Johnston
Include appropriate openssl headers.
Update to 0.2.
Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script.
Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.
To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.
To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.
Changes to Mk/*:
- Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk
Update to 0.18.
Update to 0.17.
- Set --mandir and --infodir in CONFIGURE_ARGS if the configure script
supports them. This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
subdirectory detection.

As our lives get more hectic and hyper-connected, people are becoming more acutely aware of the negative impact technology can have on our health. I've talked before about how the internet is rewiring our brains, and of course, there's the sitting epidemic that goes hand-in-hand with technology use. Our dependence on technology also makes it more likely that we aren't getting time outdoors or high-quality sleep.
However, technology also has the potential to facilitate improvements in health – if we use it correctly. Last year, I wrote an article about the trend towards using technology to provide personalized health care and give patients more control over their own health. I recently listened to an interesting NPR program on a similar topic, and apparently these types of medical apps are gaining popularity. I wanted to share some of them with you all and hear your thoughts about this trend, so here are some of the apps I found intriguing.
Can everyday #technology be used to improve your health? There's an app for that!
Cardiovascular Health
One app that would likely be useful to many patients is the Withings Blood Pressure Monitor, which requires a blood pressure cuff that you can plug into your iPhone. It has mostly good reviews on Amazon, and the fact that the app automatically tracks your readings makes it much more convenient to measure blood pressure regularly. If you're in the process of lowering your blood pressure naturally, I think this device could be extremely useful for tracking your progress.
Another good one is the Masimo Pulse Oximeter, which is a plugin for the iPhone that you can just stick on your finger, and it will track your oxygen levels, perfusion index, and pulse. Then, it just transmits the data to the app on your phone. One of the most useful applications of this device is probably in detecting and monitoring sleep apnea, and you can see from the Amazon reviews that many people have used it for this purpose. Sleep apnea is much more common than many people would assume, and it can really damage your health if you don't manage it properly, so by recording irregularities in oxygen levels throughout the night, this app and phone plugin could prevent a lot of health issues.
Next, there's the AliveCor Heart Monitor, which is an FDA-approved device that your physician can actually prescribe you. (Imagine going to the doctor and being prescribed an app rather than a drug!) It's a single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) device that is embedded in an iPhone case, and all you have to do is hold it with two hands so it can pick up your heartbeat. Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist who is one of the leading practitioners bringing these new apps into everyday use, actually used this app to diagnose a woman with atrial fibrillation on an airplane. For anyone with a chronic heart condition, this could be a valuable tool for at-home monitoring.
Blood Glucose Monitors
In this interview with NBC, Dr. Eric Topol also demonstrated a phone app that gives a continuous readout of blood glucose levels via a non-invasive sensor attached to his skin. I've mentioned previously how important it can be to track your blood sugar if you suspect any metabolic issues, and an app like this could be incredibly useful for both diabetics and others who are concerned about their blood sugar. Instead of having to test your blood sugar by sticking your finger multiple times over a period of hours, you could just let the app do its thing, and then check on the data later to see a detailed graph of how your blood glucose responded to a meal you ate. (Of course, an app like this also has the potential to make you crazy if you're checking your blood sugar every 30 seconds!)
Unfortunately this tracking device isn't commercially available yet, but there are some other apps that look like they could be useful for diabetics. Glooko Logbook can sync to your meter and keep track of your blood glucose readings. Glucose Buddy is available on Android as well as iPhone, and it will keep track of glucose, A1C, carb consumption, and more, and will also send you push notifications to make sure you test your blood sugar regularly.
Other Physical Exam Apps
The iExaminer allows you to use your iPhone to take a picture of the optic disk at the back of the eye, although it requires a decent-sized piece of additional hardware. However, it appears to still be quite portable, as evidenced by this doctor who tried it out on top of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Then there's the CellScope Otoscope, which allows you to take pictures of the inner ear and diagnose ear infections remotely. The iPhone attachment required for this device is relatively discreet, too – just a special case with a small protruding head. Like the iExaminer, this is probably not particularly useful for individual patients, but could be a useful tool for doctors.
The SpiroSmart app can measure lung function simply by using the built-in iPhone mic – no additional hardware necessary. While this seems bound to be far less accurate than a clinical spirometer where patients breathe into a tube, the developer states that the average error is 5.1%, so this could still be a useful tool for at-home monitoring of lung conditions such as asthma.
Finally, there's the SkinVision app, which allows you to take a picture of suspicious moles or other skin lesions and have the app determine if you need to visit your doctor or if you shouldn't be concerned. This app also doesn't require any extra hardware and they give you a free trial, so for anyone concerned about skin cancer or curious about a mole they have, this is certainly a low-risk investment.
BioZen is an Android app that was developed by the Department of Defense for service members, and it allows people to practice biofeedback without the large medical sensors you would find in a clinic. It does require purchase of multiple sensors that then send data readouts to your smartphone, but this is still a significantly more portable way to practice biofeedback.
So there you have it – some of the new-fangled medical apps that you might start to see in homes and doctor's offices in the coming years. Of course, none of these should take the place of a doctor visit, and most of the same concerns I expressed in my last article on this topic still apply, but I also think these developments have the potential to really improve clinicians' ability to help patients, as well as patients' ability to help themselves.
I'm interested to hear what you all think of this trend. Could you see yourself using apps like these? What are some medical apps you'd like to see developed? Share your thoughts in the comments, and thanks for reading!

Obama's Call to Service: Will the Nation Respond?
He highlighted the Day of Service on Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, and true to the spirit of Obama's rise to power, he encouraged people to sign up for volunteer opportunities on USAService.org, the new website that has been created for the initiative.
A few days after Powell's press conference, I received an email from Michelle Obama. In a video, she talked about the importance of the day of service and urged people to sign up on the website. Then, Obama himself cut some ads for TV, promoting the service initiative and urging people to – you
guessed it – sign up on the website.
So I visited the website. Just like his campaign site, USAService.org is a fully interactive vehicle for engaging users in organizing and joining volunteer activities. Examples of MLK Day projects included rebuilding a high school garden in Oakland, packing food boxes for needy families in Phoenix, and
collecting sleeping bags and blankets for the homeless in Texas, according to USA Today.
Over 8,500 MLK Day activities were ultimately registered on the site and tens of thousands of volunteers contributed their time that day. I have no doubt that Obama inspired and enabled these people to participate on the 19th. But will the surge in volunteerism extend beyond that one day?
We are already living in a time of heightened commitment to service. Indeed, Americans are now volunteering at higher levels than ever before. The latest report from the Corporation for National & Community Service estimates that in 2007, 60.8 million Americans or 26 percent of the adult population gave 8.1 billion hours of volunteer service. That is a million more volunteers than in 2002.
But while Obama's call comes at a time of great interest in volunteering, there is a major countervailing force – the recession. Research by the non-profit group Independent Sector shows that economic concerns lead to decreases in volunteer rates. This should bode ill for Obama's initiative, but the President will appreciate another finding – people who were asked to volunteer were much more likely to volunteer than those who weren't. The ask is a powerful force. Thus Colin Powell, the emails, the TV ads, the website…
Overall, the National Day of Service was a big success — a fitting tribute to King and to Obama's historic victory. But where do we go from here? With tremendous domestic and international challenges, Obama won't have much spare time. However, Michelle Obama has indicated that service will be a major issue for her. Like Barack, Michelle has a history of service, including her role in creating a leadership program for youth.
Here are some suggestions for Michelle and the other initiative leaders:
Support key pieces of legislation. The stimulus bill drafted by the House Democrats includes $200 million to expand AmeriCorps by 16,000 members and $50 million for Youth Build USA to involve low-income youth in building affordable housing. In addition, Obama's campaign platform included a $4,000 tax credit for college students who complete 100 hours of public service a year.
Partner with philanthropies. Philanthropies can play a major role in expanding service. With their ability to take risks and move funds quickly, they can work with government to support a range of innovative initiatives to promote national service and help organizations recruit volunteers. Additionally, the major figures in the philanthropic world can support Obama's messages about the importance of service.
Support outreach by the non-profit world. Non-profits should play a big role in reaching out to members of the community, demonstrating their value and persuading people to volunteer. Local organizations have the great benefit of being on the ground and having strong personal connections to the people in the community. The government should look for ways to support these local outreach
During the campaign, Obama often spoke about his experience as a community organizer. On July 2, he told supporters in Colorado that "…through service, I discovered how my own improbable story fit into the larger story of America." In discussing his initiative, he said, "I won't just ask for your vote as a candidate — I will ask for your service and your active citizenship when I am President of the United States. This won't be a call issued in one speech or one program — this will be a central cause of my
presidency. We will ask Americans to serve. We will create new opportunities for Americans to serve. And we will direct that service to our most pressing national challenges."
Will the nation respond to this call? Beyond the national day of service, will Americans be willing to volunteer? We'll have to wait and see. But in the meantime, we should be encouraged by President Obama's commitment to service and its power to help renew the country. Keep it up, Mr. President.

A Russian Jew of Bloomsbury: The Life and Times of Samuel KotelianskyBy: Galya Diment (author)Hardback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionSamuel Koteliansky (1880-1955) fled the pogroms of Russia in 1911 and established himself as a friend of many of Britain's literati and intellectuals, who were fascinated by his homeland's more civilized side: the Ballets Russes, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Chekhov. Kot, as he was known, soon became an indispensable guide to Russian culture for England's leading writers, artists, and intellectuals, who in turn helped introduce British audiences to Russian works. A Russian Jew of Bloomsbury looks at the remarkable life and influence that an outsider had on the tightly knit circle of Britain's cultural elite. Among Koteliansky's friends were Katherine Mansfield, Leonard and Virginia Woolf - for whose Hogarth Press he translated many Russian classics - Mark Gertler, Lady Ottoline Morrell, H.G. Wells, and Dilys Powell. But it was his close and turbulent friendship with D.H. Lawrence, with whom he had copious correspondence, that proved to be Koteliansky's lasting legacy. In a lively and vibrant narrative, Galya Diment shows how, despite Kot's determination, he could never shake off the dark aspects of his past or overcome the streak of anti-Semitism that ran through British society and could be found in many of his famous literary friends. A stirring account of the early twentieth century, Jewish emigre life, and English and Russian letters, A Russian Jew of Bloomsbury casts new light - and shadows - on the giants of English modernism.
About AuthorGalya Diment is chair and professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Washington, Seattle.

text: I am trying to see if this can be done. Now I came from windows mobile and loving the htc hero. My question are these... 1) With windows on the HTC TOUCH PRO if I was talking to someone or listening to a voice mail and someone left a number I could while I was talking, take out the stylus and it would open a note pad app that I could then write on it and it would attach it. Is there an app or something on the hero that can do the same type of function?

If you're an accountant, you may not get to be famous, but you certainly could become rich. Or perhaps earn more. Financial services professionals at the top of the career ladder are seeing salaries rise in specialist areas such as risk and compliance, as companies become concerned about sourcing and retaining critical skills in the face of increased regulatory requirements, according to research by recruitment consultancy Robert Half.
In an article by Pat Sweet on accountancyLive (here), the 2014 Robert Half Financial Services Salary Guide shows that 94% of executives say that the management of regulatory reform is a challenge for their businesses – 14% more than last year. Getting on for two thirds (61%) expect the financial workload resulting from regulatory change to increase, resulting in additional recruitment for permanent and interim regulatory professionals.
A quarter (24%) of financial services executives say the finance function is taking the lead on managing regulatory change, with the result that salaries in this specialty are rising in the face of shortages. The highest salary increase recorded in the survey is for head of operational risk at 8.9%, while one in four (23%) executives plan to hire interim staff to manage compliance initiatives.
A separate survey, the REED 2014 Salary and Market Insight report confirms that the market for both part-qualified and senior finance professionals is now 'back at pre-recession levels – both in terms of job opportunities and remuneration. REED's research confirms that many organisations now have to counter-offer top-performing staff to prevent a loss of talent, as well as devising more creative packages, including flexible working, to attract new staff. Its research shows that 43% of managers view losing staff with key skills as a problem.
According to REED, more than half (53%) of managers within finance report skills gaps in their organisation, compared to an average of 37% across all sectors, and 70% of these also see these skills gaps as having a negative impact on their bottom line, up from 66% the previous year.
However, the REED survey also shows that job satisfaction among finance staff is very high, with 84% of part-qualified professionals and 74% of fully qualified professionals feeling 'satisfied' or 'very satisfied' in their current role, compared with an average of 70% for the UK workforce as a whole.
Phil Sheridan, managing director, Robert Half UK, concluded: 'Financial services businesses are realising that demand for the most highly skilled talent is outweighing supply, particularly within niche specialisms. Firms looking to attract the market's most sought-after professionals know that financial remuneration is only one factor affecting candidates' decisions. As employees aim to balance work and life commitments, offering a comprehensive benefits package – often flexible and tailored to each employee's preferences – is helping companies position themselves as great places to work.'
Strangely, in the US I see that confidence among accountants is not as strong as we might have thought. In an article titled Accountants Confidence Wobbles Slightly Going into 2014, in accountingTODAY, Daniel Hood says that the accounting profession's expectations for economic growth wobbled slightly (at least in the US) but remained positive for the fourth month in a row, according to the January edition of accountingTODAY's monthly Accountants Confidence Index.
Meanwhile, it seems that lawyers are having a good time. The number of partners at UK law firms rose significantly this year as the rate of 'firing and retiring' fell, according to a survey by an accountancy firm, reported on in the Law Society Gazette this week, here. Figures show an overall net increase of 2,795 partnership posts this year, reversing the net loss of 153 partner roles seen in 2011/12, a report by Wilkins Kennedy says. A key factor behind the rise in partner numbers was that 44% fewer partnership posts terminated than in the previous year.
In 2012-13, 3,077 partnership posts were closed, down from 5,487 the year before that. In total 38,740 partners were practising at UK law firms in 2012. Wilkins Kennedy suggests the findings show that the worst of the downturn may be over for many firms, although problems may still remain with smaller law firms. Interestingly, associates (a rung or two down from equity partners) in law firms are starting to question whether partnership is really the be-all and end-all for their careers with some seeing a salary and bonus arrangement based on their own personal performance as being better than the much more volatile earnings of a equity partner.

Events on the pervious evening led to the presumed death of one Gerard, an incidental secondary target to my missions' core goal. The body should be found at the bottom of the excavation on 3rd street.
Additionally, I encountered an unusual individual, a Shadar-Kai by the name of Stone. (This I suspect to be an alias) He claimed to be impressed by my skills, which suggests he may have been observing me for some time with out my knowledge, and offered me a substantial sum of money to complete what he claimed to be a simple task. (Although I suspected he simply wanted a pawn, which I feel has been sufficiently confirmed at this point)
The task was 'simply' to go with a group of 'adventurers' into a recently uncovered tomb not far out into the ocean. My initial inclination was to refuse, as my skills do not lend themselves well to desert life, but when he mentioned that one of the Blowers would be joining us, I figured the opportunity to witness a tragic accident might be worth the risk.
Shortly thereafter, I was introduced to the other suckers in this fool's errand; Lady Shay, of the Blowers; Naivara, an eladrin emissary, and Vasher, the Shadar-ki who assisted with the elimination of our captured informant. We departed within the hour.
Strangely, there was a local hermit waiting for us by the aforementioned tower; a strange fellow by the name Kraus. I believe he sells rare beetles in the market. It's a little unclear exactly why he joined us; I think maybe he just wanted to get us out of 'his' territory faster. We were also forewarned about some undead in the tower, apparently Stone's previous set of fools.
Eventually, we entered the tower, to discover an extensive old library of tomes (I was unable to aquire one for further examination), and unusual religious murals on the floor, which we believed to depict several of the Smith's ascended mortals. Further investigation yielded an encounter with several undead, and a pair of over-endowed beetles. The ensuing battle did not go well, as it seems that this was the first time most of my fellow bait had seem combat; although the fellow Kraus performed with alacrity. I did, however, manage to pull them through without too much trauma.
The skeletons it seems were guarding a door to a vault/tomb, and much to our surprise, the door was capable of speech. Oddly, it seemed an amiable sort, I suppose, for a door, and we were able to convince it to allow us to pass, although we were warned not to despoil the room.
And it appears that the room was possibly the tomb of one of the very beings that ascended to godhood. And apparently his corpse was in possession of an item that Lady Shay appeared eager to possess (and which must be the item Mr. Stone tasked us to find), whereas the others thought it should be left alone.
Now, seeing a disagreement about to develop, I stepped aside, and watched for an opportunity. However, events played out more beautifully than I could have hoped; Lady Shay got her hands on said item, and proceeded to try to disable the others in the group, myself included. (A sleep spell, I think it may have been) What she didn't anticipate, it seems, was Mr. Kraus' temper. He promptly struck her down with the unusual blade he carries.
However, our actions did not go without consequence, and like in the traditional stories, we were forced to flee the tomb, post haste. Both the body of Lady Shay, and the item were secured. Although Mr. Vasher appears to have formed an unusually swift bond with the item. He will require watching for unusual behaviors.

A secure portal allowing our customers and vendors 24/7 access to their operational and financial information.
MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, a leader in global container shipping, set a new record for the number of boxes loaded and unloaded at any Australian port.
The record exchange of 4,000 containers took place at Patrick Terminal in Port Botany, on the MSC Ningbo, a 7,849 TEU vessel currently operating on MSC's Australia Express service, which directly links Australia with Europe on a weekly basis.
MSC has been progressively selecting larger vessels for the Australia Express service, in response to customer demands to transport larger volumes of cargo such as:
Cereals – Grain – Cotton – Rubber – Timber – Paper – Metals – Machinery – Tiles – Furniture – Textiles – Scrap – Wine.
We also transport chilled and frozen cargo in our reefer containers, including:
Foodstuff – Drinks – Fish – Pastry – Meat Products.
The new record is a triumph for both MSC and the terminal operator Patrick, according to MSC Australia's Managing Director Kevin Clarke:
"These large container exchanges reflect the outstanding support MSC receives from all our clients on the Australia Express service. We continue to upgrade the size of the vessels operating on this service in order to meet growing demand, whilst at the same time offering our clients direct access to key international markets both to and from Australia."
The record is all the more pleasing as it was achieved on the back of a stellar performance for schedule reliability.
MSC's Australia Express service received top marks in the most recent SeaIntel Global Liner Performance Report, and was identified as best in market for schedule reliability.
MSC offers seven weekly container services directly linking Australia with North America, Europe, the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Indian Subcontinent, South East Asia, North Asia, New Zealand, New Caledonia and beyond.
Patrick Terminal worked efficiently in order to achieve this record-breaking result.

OK, parents, it's time to clear something up. See, I have just one kid, and so my experiences with real honest to goodness sibling rivalry are but a dim memory from my own childhood. But I hear it's the worst. Worse even than the infernal toddler whine, and I KNOW whining.
So parents, what's the deal? Every time I turn around, your little darlings are walking by me sporting a t-shirt with some trash talk about their brother or sister written across their chest. Literally ... written across the chest. And we all point and laugh and have a jolly good time. Until Junior smacks Sally across the ear, and you start yelling "Be nice to your sister," and look to the rest of us for sympathy. You sooooo get where I'm going with this, don't you? These sibling rivalry t-shirts can be funny ... but you might want to think about who we're laughing at. Just take a gander:
Sister for Sale -- Cheap (CafePress; $20) -- Maybe if it didn't have the word "cheap" at the end, this whole thing would feel less tawdry. But might I remind you that's YOUR DAUGHTER that's being referred to?
This Is My Dumb Big Brother Shirt; I'd Rather Have a Puppy (CafePress; $20) -- Well, tell us how he really feels. Nothing says "I haven't bothered to pay any attention to my older child since I gave birth" quite like this shirt.
Things Haven't Been the Same Since That House Fell on My Sister (NewEgg; $10.72) -- Sly Wizard of Oz reference aside, it's funny how parents tell their kids NOT to beat on their sister ... then dress them in clothing that speaks to horrible acts of violence.
She May Suck, But I Still Support My Sister's Soccer Career (Zazzle; $26.95) -- How sweet! Passive-aggressive natures sprout early in your family! Perhaps a better slogan would be, "I could be home devising ways to put tarantulas in my sister's bed without getting caught, but instead I'm freezing my @ss off on the sidelines at her stupid soccer games while my parents ignore me and let me use words like @ss and suck even though I'm only 6?" No? OK then.
I'm the Good One; My Brother's the Brat (T-Shirt Hub; $14.95) -- Just a reminder, Mom and Dad, you have now marked your kids for life as "the good one" and "the brat." You might as well start setting money aside for therapy now. Place a few photos of your child IN this shirt in the coin jar; the evidence will save him some time in those early probative sessions.
I'll admit there are some that can be funny. And the "I'm the big brother" or "I'm the little sister" shirts just make me grin. But 99 percent make me cringe.
How about you? Do you buy these sibling rivalry t-shirts? Have you seen any that are really well done?

After its successful run on TV2 Danmark where the series averaged 1.5 million viewers earlier this year, the Danish TV series Badehotellet (Seaside Resort) produced by SF Film Production for TV2 has clocked 780,000 average Swedish viewers on TV4 for a share of 25 %.
The six part TV series immediately scored with Swedish viewers when it first aired on TV4's 20.00 slot on March 27, reaching nearly one million viewers and a share of 23.3% (29.6% in the core female 25-59 age group).
" Badehotellet worked great for our audience, even though it fell from first to last episode, it kept both viewers and critics engaged. It has a unique feel, with the beautiful ocean and the lovely little family hotel, not to mention a great cast. I think the series will inspire lots of Swedes to go for a seaside vacation in Denmark! ", said Åsa Sjöberg, TV4 Director of Programmes.
In Norway Badehotellet premiered on May 5 on TV2 at 21.40. The series reached a satisfying share of 27% for an average viewing of 388,000.
In comparison, the other successful Danish TV drama Arvingerne (The Legacy) produced by DR fared much better in Norway than Badehotellet with 639,000 average viewers on NRK1 (734,00 average viewing across all NRK platforms) when it aired between February and April 2014. But in neighbouring Sweden the Danish family saga didn't draw the same crowd as Badehotellet (700,000 average viewings against 780,000 respectively) when it aired on SVT1's Monday 21.00 slot from April 7-June 9.
The television audience in Sweden achieved by both Danish TV dramas supported by Nordisk Film & TV Fond is highly satisfactory for non-crime original scripted programmes.

Marius Bassianus (マリウス・バシアヌス)Prime Minister Marius Bassianus is a member of one of three Guild houses purged by Delphine Eraclea who was taken under the protection of the Anatoray royal family. After the death of his daughter Euris, Marius took care of Princess Sophia as if she were his own daughter. He and the Emperor killed each other during the Disith attack on the Anatoray capital after a dispute on Sophia's status as heir to the throne.
He is entrusted with the Mysterion held by his family but surrenders it to Alex Row before his death so that it can be kept safe. His generosity is shown in the desire to grant land to Disith's people after its collapse and when he allows his Guild ship as training ground for the allied assault on Guild forces.

Did tabloid rag Us Weekly fall for a Jessica Simpson press stunt intended to divert attention away from her troubled country album? Apparently so.
Sources tell OK! that the cover of tomorrow's Us Weekly claims to have an exclusive story about the Employee of the Month actress and her Dallas Cowboys quarterback beau Tony Romo, stating, "I Think They're Getting Married." Which would be a nice story. If it were true.
When OK! contacted Jessica's rep to ask if we should buy the couple a wedding gift, she refused to deny the story or make any attempt to play down the rumor. So could it be true?
Not so fast.
"I think it's a press stunt," a source who knows Jessica well reveals to OK! . "She always leaks information about her faux love life when she's desperate to get her face on magazine covers!"

To label hunters as Neanderthals and lesser developed is misleading. Some of our ancestors grew tired of eating grubs, roots and berries. They used their brains to develop tools and move up the food chain instead of being prey. I enjoy fresh veggies, but like meat as part of my diet. As a hunter, I'm just going organic to get a leaner source of protein.

Deaf Child's Sign For His Name Violates Gun Policy, Says School District
It's a case that exemplifies doing the wrong thing in the name of doing the right thing. Hunter Spanjer is 3 1/2 years old and lives in Grand Island, Nebraska. As KOLN reports, Hunter is deaf and uses a special sign for his name. But the public school district where he attends preschool wants him to change it because the sign (says the school district) violates its weapons policy.
Indeed, the school district is saying that, when Hunter uses the signs, he is violating Grand Island's "Weapons in Schools" Board Policy 8470 which forbids "any instrument…that looks like a weapon."
Hunter signs his name by "crossing his index finger and middle finger and then wagging his hands, which the school says is not appropriate." School spokesman Jack Sheard tell the New York Daily News that they are teaching Hunter to spell out his name letter by letter rather than using the sign. "We want to do what is best for every student in our district, and we care more about that than everything else," Sheard says, underscoring that the district is "working with the parents to find the best solution we can."
But certainly it must be confusing for Hunter to be told that he has been, in essence, signing ("saying" as it were) his name wrong?
As Grand Island resident Dana Schieger said, "It's his name. It's not like he's going to bring a gun to school when he's three years old." Another resident, Fredda Bartenbach, said "I find it very difficult to believe that the sign language that shows his name resembles a gun in any way would even enter a child's mind."
Brian Spanjer, Hunter's father, expresses the exasperation of many in saying that "It's a symbol. It's an actual sign, a registered sign, through S.E.E." or Signing Exact English, a sign language system. Hunter's grandmother, Janet Logue, says simply that "Anybody that I have talked to thinks this is absolutely ridiculous. This is not threatening in any way."
Hunter's parents say that, by next week, lawyers from the National Association of the Deaf are "likely to weigh in for Hunter's right to sign his own name."
The Grand Island school district seems to be having difficulty seeing the forest for the trees and rushing to judgement. Perhaps they are thinking ahead to when Hunter is older and worrying that other children, seeing him sign his name with the gestures his family taught, might mistake these for a weapon?
Regardless, also at issue is whether the Grand Island school district made its decision about how Hunter should sign his name, unilaterally on its own or in consultation with his parents. Based on the family's comments, it seems that the latter was not the case — and if that is so, the school district, by focusing on a perceived violation of one policy, could, under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), be in violation of impinging on Hunter's rights.

Event description
Not interested in going to the Strip to see a live comedy show? Then come to this theater haven in the downtown Arts district. Indoor free parking. A wonderful upscale, artistic movie theater. And a wicked hilarious show with comedians you've seen on TV and in the movies that are touring around the country and simply stopping by downtown Vegas to check out where all the headliner comedians perform when they're not on the Strip.
