Make Your Home Safer With The VersaGate Safety Gate
The VersaGate's design is one of the most versatile on the market, allowing you to place the gate in various configurations around fireplaces, in front of doorways or to block off the kitchen to keep your children and pets out of harm's way. The gate is constructed of strong and reliable steel with a powder-coated finish. There is a 40-inch door section, 24-inch opening, rubberized feet and two 20-inch extensions. Extend your gate by using the 20" or 40" steel extensions, sold separately. The VersaGate is not a freestanding gate, it must be wall-mounted using hardware. However, combine the gate to create a freestanding, fully enclosed pen.

I'm spending several days at my parents house while my husband is at a big long conference. I'm not doing much cooking while I'm here (what a nice break!), but yesterday my extended family got together for a cook-out, and I just HAD to share with you what we ate. It was so delicious and healthy and real!

The use of references is considered a part of the interview process, and they should never be listed on a resume. You would always provide references to a potential employer, if requested. It is not even necessary to include this section on the resume if room does not permit. If space is available, it is acceptable to include one of the following statements:
- REFERENCES: Furnished upon request.
- REFERENCES: Available upon request.
Individuals used as references must be protected from unnecessary contacts. By including names on your resume, you leave your references unprotected. Overuse and abuse of your references will lead to less-than-supportive comments. Protect your references by giving out their names only when you are being considered seriously as a candidate for a given position. | http://www.plymouth.edu/services/career/category/resume-faq/ | 2013-05-18T10:22:56 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
If you live in Monroe County, your chances of living in poverty are almost 1 in 7.
That's a staggeringly sobering statistic made worse by the Great Recession.
The U.S. Census Bureau defined poverty in 2011 as a household income of about $22,891 for a family of four, depending on how many are under 18. The threshold for a single person is $11,702. The poverty thresholds for seniors 65 years and older are slightly lower.
The news for children in Monroe is even worse, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
One in 5.5 children under 18 live in poverty.
"We're seeing more people in desperate situations, being forced into making the decision of paying the fuel bill versus food or medications," said Michael Tukeva, executive director of the Pocono Alliance.
The alliance partners with other nonprofits and the business community to address the area's unmet needs, including poverty.
Nearly 25,000 of Monroe County's 166,425 residents live below poverty levels, according to recently released Census Bureau figures.
More than 1,500 Monroe residents living in poverty are 65 or older, census figures show.
"Fifty-one percent of the people in our food lines each month are senior citizens," said Maj. James Gingrich of the Salvation Army in East Stroudsburg.
The numbers highlight the devastating effects of an economy that saw increased unemployment, underemployment and reduced wages for those lucky enough to have jobs.
"Unemployment is a significant part of the poverty problem," Tukeva said. "People want to work."
The East Stroudsburg micropolitan statistical area, which includes Monroe County, ranked in the middle among other similarly sized areas in the state on poverty rates, according to the Keystone Research Center and Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center.
In 2007, less than one 1 in 10 Monroe County residents lived in poverty. Four years later, it jumped to 1 in 6.7.
That's more than the state's poverty rate of a little over 1 in 7.3. The U.S. rate is 1 in 6.3.
While the county's population grew by just 4 percent between 2007 and 2011, poverty grew by 78 percent.
For those under 18 years old, it jumped by 76 percent.
Those between 18 and 64 saw their ranks grow by 78 percent.
But Monroe County's seniors were the worst affected: Poverty among those 65 or older grew by 82 percent.
"Food prices in our area are up as much as 47 percent on many items," Gingrich of the Salvation Army in East Stroudsburg said. "Heating fuel is up 64 percent, gas is up 103 percent and Social Security is up almost zero since 2008."
While the need grows, funding keeps shrinking.
The Salvation Army suffered state budget cuts of $14,000 for shelters and almost $10,000 for its heating fuel program.
The county took hits in other areas as well.
It lost about $46,000 from the state food purchase program, meaning the county had to decrease funding to local food pantries, according to Monroe County Grants Manager Karen Ezzo.
"We also get calls every day from people with eviction notices about to become homeless, and increased numbers of clients within the food pantries themselves."
Making matters worse, when the rising costs of food and fuel hit others, it means it's harder for them to be charitable, Gingrich said.
"We have been inundated with requests in a variety of areas," Gingrich said.
There's a waiting list for families trying to get into the family shelter, and they can wait for as long as a couple of months before a vacancy becomes available.
Affordable housing remains one of the county's top needs, according to Ezzo.
"Nationally the average homeless person is a child age 9," Tukeva said. "In Monroe County, people are less likely to be labeled as homeless because they are staying with a friend living on a couch. But they are basically a day away from being out of a home."
A lack of affordable housing along with a lack of employment opportunities, particularly for people with no skills, create barriers for those living in the shelters from moving out.
"Minimum wage will not sustain your family if you are a parent," Gingrich said.
Tukeva is trying to break the image of those living in poverty.
"People in poverty want to better themselves and need access to resources and relationships," Tukeva said. "They are not looking for handouts, they are looking for skills, for the mental models that we take for granted, as far as how to approach their finances and self-esteem." | http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20121014/NEWS/210140336/0/rss01 | 2013-05-18T10:23:52 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Podiatrist sentenced to probation for drug charge (North Carolina)
A Grifton podiatrist was sentenced to probation and a fine for a drug charge.
Dr. Paul Joseph Civatte, 52, was given a sentence of 12 months of probation and a fine for a reduced charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. The case dated back to Dr. Civatte's 2007 arrest for possession of cocaine and maintaining a automobile for the use of controlled substances(CDS).
Dr. Civatee, who is a podiatrist at Greenville Foot and Ankle Center, was arrested for allegedly possessing two grams of cocaine while attempting to purchase drugs from undercover officers.
The cocaine possession charge was reduced to possession of drug paraphernalia. The other charge was dismissed.
Joseph Civatte, DPM was sentenced to a term of supervised probation and was fined $1,000. He was ordered to pay court costs in the amount of $541.50.

Chocolate Marshmallow Cups
Today I found the very first cookbook that I ever owned! Talk about a day of reminiscing!! I remember the day back in 1983 when I was at the book fair in elementary school buying this!!! I used to LOVE making this recipe with my mom! It just happens that I found the cookbook the SAME WEEK that I found my new favorite vegan treat- Vegan Marshmallows! I saw this as a sign to make these and share the recipe. I'm on chocolate overload at the moment as I ate more of these delicious cups than I should have!
Play the Show
I decided to make large and small sizes and they both came out great! The larger ones I ended up putting in the freezer. They are both delicious and I highly recommend making this recipe! TRUST ME- you will be glad that you did!!
Chocolate Marshmallow Cups
1 package of vegan marshmallows (I used the sweet and sara brand!)
1 (10 ounce) package chocolate chips (I used the Tropical Source brand)
1 Cup natural crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup earth balance
Procedure:
In a muffin pan place paper liners. Cut each marshmallow into six small pieces and place 3-4 pieces in each liner.
In a medium nonstick saucepan over low heat place chocolate chips, peanut butter and earth balance. Stir until everything is melted and well combined. Remove saucepan from heat and spoon chocolate mixture over marshmallows, about 2 tablespoons per liner.
Place tin in refrigerator until chocolate hardens. You can also freeze these.
ENJOY!

winter of the century
There is ice
Oozing in around the light switches
Frosting up the screws
That hold the plate
More ice
Encroaches on the threshold
Crawling in with crystal fingers
Stretching deep inside the house
The wind howls inexorably
Life in hell …

Lonely Emotions
Written By: Praveen | Category: Life | (3) Comments | 1,163 views
as the night goes by,
i sit here, infront of the computer,
sleepless, disturbed and staring into a blackhole;
mumbling and thinking something,
wondering why, wondering how,
is life meant to be so confusing?
wishing for something,
that will shine a light at the darkness,
i stumble through this world;
(lost) somewhere in the middle,
thoughts echoing through a silent night,
wandering aimlessly, trying to find a meaning;
emotions that nobody can see,
emotions that nobody can feel,
emotions shipwrecked within;
as my heart screams for mercy,
my mind struggles to find a solution,
alone and wishing for something,
is it possible to wipe the slate clean and start afresh?
GD Star RatingLonely Emotions,

A Romantic ?
A helpless romantic.
A heart that pounds so frantic.
A world that lays static.
A space for memories, in the attic.
For a helpless romantic.
For love , no longer frantic ?
For the heart lays static.
For dust covers all, in the attic.
Until love, once again, finds the helpless romantic.

San Diego leaders received actionable economic analysis recommendation on how to move forward in an ever-changing economy at the 2011 Fermanian Business & Economic Institute's (FBEI) annual economic outlook forum, "Sustaining the Expansion." Dr. Lynn Reaser, FBEI's chief economist, presented her economic forecast for the national, state, and regional economy.
In addition, George Chamberlin, executive editor of the San Diego Daily Transcript, chaired a panel discussion of industry leaders, including Cyrus Mirsaidi, CEO of Molecular Response; Mary Lewis, CFO of the City of San Diego; and Tom Wetherald, director of business development & strategic planning for General Dynamics NASSCO.

The Cherryville (N.C.) Police Department named a veteran sergeant as its acting interim chief, after five officers were charged or suspended for their roles in a stolen property theft ring.
Sergeant Det. Cam Jenks, a veteran of the department for more than a decade, takes over until further notice, reports the Lincoln Times-News.
Police Chief Woodrow Burgess and Capt. Mike Allred were suspended from the department last week after a federal indictment charged three Cherryville officers, one Gaston County Sheriff's reserve officer, and two Cherryville residents with protecting stolen property being transported through the area.
Frankie Dellinger, a reserve officer with the Cherryville PD and Wesley Clayton Golden, a reserve deputy sheriff with the Gaston County SO have been charged with conspiracy to transport and/or receive stolen property, transportation of stolen property, conspiracy to extort under color of official right, money laundering conspiracy, money laundering and aiding and abetting, and possession of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence. Dellinger also faces a charge of extortion under color of official right.
Also charged are Cherryville patrol officers Casey Justin Crawford and David Paul Mauney III. They face charges of conspiracy to transport and/or receive stolen property and conspiracy to extort under color of official right. Crawford is also charged with "program fraud bribery."
Beginning in May, Crawford, Mauney, and Hendricks conspired with undercover law enforcement agents to provide "protection" for truckloads of stolen merchandise, including televisions, generators, and chain saws worth over $300,000, according to the FBI.

Romney Campaign Claims He Retired Retroactively (But Kept All of the Profits)
Don’t blame Romney for how he made his money. See, all of this fuss about his inaccurate filings (a federal felony, by the way) – that applies to the little people. If you’re W. Mitt Romney, it’s just a misunderstanding because you didn’t get around to doing it in a timely manner. It took you three years to remember to retire, and in that time, you were going to board meetings and signing documents for Bain, and as the 100% shareholder, you were making all of the profit.
Watch Ed Gillespie, a senior campaign advisor for the Romney campaign, move the shell of responsibility for W. Mitt Romney on Meet the Press here:
Transcript from Think Progress:.
W. Mitt Romney’s new argument for why he’s not responsible for the outsourcing of Bain while documents say he was the President, Shareholder, CEO and Chairman of the Board is that later, after he made all of that cash from outsourcing, he retroactively retired. Neat trick! But don’t you try this at home. This is only for the very, very privileged.
Since the Romney camp declared King like that he retired “retroactively”, he is supposed to be exonerated from a) how he made the money b) filing inaccurately and perhaps fraudulently and c) he gets to say one thing to the state disclosure people and another to the federal disclosure people at the same time and not be accountable. Oh, and of course, he gets to tell you whatever he wants and you have to believe. Just trust. You wouldn’t understand. He’s a businessman (aka, divine, untouchable God).
Also, he can claim he was in Massachusetts to conduct business for Bain and therefor, which keeps track of this stuff because of rampant financial disclosure fraud which led to people at the top lying to investors and cheating them out of the information they needed to make a smart investment.
Those rules that Romney is scoffing at? Those are the rules put into place to make someone accountable for corporate actions. If you’ve ever invested in the stock market, you remember when corporations were lying about their finanicials in order to mislead investors into thinking they were a good risk when they were not. Well, these rules about disclosures (the ones Romney and Bain filed that claimed he was the man in charge) are meant, in part, to at least put a bump in the road for the average investor — the middle class family saving for their retirement who likes to invest in American companies and their own future.
Romney’s message to them is screw you, you don’t need to know. While Bain wasn’t publicly traded during this time period, the issue is one of accountability and the rules are there for that purpose. You don’t get to go back and have a three year do-over thirteen years later.
But, when you’re king….
Those rules don’t apply to you.
The Romney campaign is no longer denying Romney was at Bain during the time period in question (1999-2002). Now they are saying that he retroactively retired.
Forgive my crudity, but that’s like retroactively pulling out.
Romney himself said he was sole shareholder, etc in 2003 for 2002. Now he wants to pretend he was never there, but the seeds of his late withdrawal are hard to miss. He’s like an irresponsible boy who got a girl pregnant and first claimed he wasn’t there, didn’t know her, but now, after DNA tests, says he withdrew so it shouldn’t count.
That’s not how real life works. Or rather, that’s not how it works for the little people.

So the annual report issued by Bain in December 2002 showing Romney as one of two managing members is what, a mistake? This is no small matter – it means he was “authorized to execute, acknowledge, deliver and record any recordable instrument purporting to affect an interest in real property, whether to be recorded with a Registry of Deeds or with a District Office of the Land Court.”
He was one of only TWO. Did the other one not consult him on anything? How many lies are they going to try and sell us?

“Retroactive retirement” — title of Chapter 5 in Willard’s forthcoming literary contrivance, “My Own Revisionist History, the Mitt Romney Story”.

So, if Mittens was “retired” from 1999-2002, doesn’t that negate his ability to run for MA governor, since he used the Bain time as “proof” of residency?
Sounds like fraud to me – election fraud. MA – get investigating & get back all the money Mittens “earned” under false pretenses.

Great catch! If this “retroactive retirement” is correct, he wasn’t eligible to run for governor of MA in 2002.

Sarah,
Your mention of “pulling out”, “seeds of his late withdrawal”, etc…
reminds me of a slightly preverted thought that has popped into my head a few times over the past couple months…
That is…
Has willard ever done any “engineering” regarding having offspring ?! 5 boys and no girls?

If you were taking money from the actions of the company, and were listed as the CEO, you were involved. Saying you wernt is simply just another lie Mittens

If Mitt retired (even retroactively), and only there nominally to draw a full salary, then who was running Bain? Was the company put on auto-pilot for three years? Is that why no one is responsible for whatever business decisions made in those three years? Is that the reason that the company drifted toward China with all those jobs?

The ultimate spin. He’s learned this from birth, from his Church. His leaders do the exact same thing with their history, or when the members start to worry what they are doing with their money. “There there, little one,you want to see the books? Just have faith, Sister Jones. We would n.e.v.e.r use the money for ill gotten gains! Have faith, the Lord needs your 10%. In fact it is your only way to salvation, your 10%!…oh did Joseph Smith have sex with 14 yr. old girls, or other men’s wives?…um, well, uh, we don’t really know. We’ll worry about that in the next life, where we will have all the answers…now run along and write that check please!”

How do you retire retroactively yet keep getting a salary?
TS
Jul. 15th, 2012 at 11:34 pm
They can’t possibly be serious, can they?! How stupid do they think we are? Retired retroactively? What does that even mean? It completely defies logic! Is he implying that he was effectively retired – i.e. not participating in the day-to-day operation of Bain Capital – but just didn’t get around to making it official for three years? If so, then why did he continue to draw a salary and why did the company continue to tell the SEC that he was still in charge in every meaningful way?
The answer to all this is pretty simple: Mitt wants to have it both ways, and his entire life experience tells him that he absolutely can. Hopefully the voters won’t let him get away with it.

Here’s how Mitt can show that he means what he says: any business decisions made during that period of time he was actually retired (retroactively) should be made null and void. Any jobs that were moved out of the country due to those decisions should be moved back. Any money made by Mitt during this retirement period should be returned to Bain, along with interest this money has earned. Then, and only then, will I believe Mitt might be telling the truth.

Hey everyone. I was hoping I could get some help and recommendations.
I want to get new polk speakers for my 1998 Ford Ranger XLT regular cab pickup. Question: 5.25 round or 6x8 oval? Which speakers for front doors and which for rears. And what are my options for a sub?
Anybody have any experience with these Rangers?

I’ve been working on these new hangtags for my cupcake soaps for a few months, and I’m so happy with them! They’re professionally printed by 4over4, so I no longer have to print them at home, cut them out individually, handwrite the names on them… yeah, it’s saving me a good amount of time ;)
Here’s a closeup of my Plumeria cupcake soap tag:
They’re printed on 100% postconsumer waste paper with eco-friendly/vegetable-based inks, and I only use one tag per soap now, so they’re much more sustainable. What do you think?
I’ve been wanting to attend an Altitude Summit ever since I discovered them a few years ago. It’s a blogging conference with classes on graphic design fundamentals, social media strategy, organization tips {yes, please!}, brand-building and much more. Unfortunately, I could never make it to Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and even New York is tough in the middle of the week. But this year, they launched their online version, Alt for Everyone, so of course I signed up! Classes start tomorrow and I’m looking forward to soaking up the collective knowledge of some of my favorite bloggers and getting pumped with creative inspiration!
What are you doing to inspire your creativity?
Suzi & I saw Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby over the weekend and it made me want to throw a 1920′s party all over again.
Okay, mine was nowhere near as glitzy or glamorous as a Gatsby party, but I did have the perfect dress!
Oh, and I wouldn’t have minded Leo as a leading man, either…
I love Lana Del Ray, too. Her ”Young & Beautiful” — which serves as Jay & Daisy’s theme song — gave me goosebumps. Did you see the new Gatsby? What did you think? It’s not my favorite Luhrmann film, but I loved it nonetheless. I think I’ll convince Stan to see it with me this weekend. ♥
Don’t forget to check out these Gatsby-inspired outfits!

Remember when metal was fun? And no, I’m not talking about the easy AquaNet-and-mullet punchline that is 1980s glam rock, which VH1 would have you believe is the be-all-end-all of metal roots. I’m thinking more of the goofy boogeyman shtick of Alice Cooper, the blue-collar kabuki of Kiss, and the tongue-in-cheek Satanism of Ozzy Osbourne that defined the early days of the headbangers ball. I’m talking about the pleasure metal bands used to take in being vile and disgusting because they were smart enough to know it was all a sick joke that only parents and media fuddy duddies would take seriously. Back then fans could laugh with the bands while also getting their socks rocked off.
Metal has lost much of its original spirit in the last 10 years. What was once a trashy and subversive genre is now a self-pitying bore. In the nu-metal brigade, bands take no pleasure in being vile and disgusting (it’s a joyless job) and they are stupid enough to take themselves seriously. The utilization of Halloween make-up and smoke machines is now a serious artistic statement. Tiresome divorce-and-ex-girlfriend diatribes have replaced hilarious sex-and-slasher lyrics. Now metal is about how miserable you feel and how much the world sucks and there’s no beat and you can’t dance to it. Boo!
Into this dire breach steps Rob Zombie, the only guy I can think of in the current metal scene fit to pick up the torch from Alice, Gene and Oz. Who else is going to do it? Jonathan Davis? Those pishers from Slipknot? She-yeah, right, and monkeys might fly out of my butt.
(The writer would like to immediately apologize to PopMatters and its readers for his use of a circa 1992 Wayne’s World reference in his Rob Zombie review. As pathetic as it might sound, he couldn’t think of anything better to write in its place. He promises to do better next time should PopMatters let him write again).
I’m not the biggest Rob Zombie fan in the world, but I was pretty psyched about catching his secret Ozzfest off-date apperance at Ryan’s Ballroom in little ol’ Combined Locks, WI. Here is a guy who definitely remembers when metal was fun, and he knows how to make the most out of his stage space, filling every corner with robots, dancing women, skulls, dead people, monsters and even a musician or two.
This being a club show, Zombie had a smaller stage than usual and therefore fewer stage props to flaunt. While the club appearance must have been great for fans, who probably have never seen the ex-White Zombie frontman anywhere other than from the lawn seats of some massive outdoor amphitheater, I wanted to see some cool blood-and-guts type stuff. A cinematic rocker like Zombie demands the kind of wide-screen treatment only an arena or stadium can provide.
Zombie might have preferred something a little bigger, too, judging from the sweat pouring down from his nappy locks as soon as he hit the stage. It gets damn hot in a ballroom packed with 1,100 rabid fans, and Zombie was never far from a fresh bottle of water during his 90-minute show. “We’ve done five of these club shows and they’ve all been fucking hot and miserable. But tonight, it’s really fucking hot and miserable,” he said early on. Being all boogada boogada boogada really takes it out of you.
Not that Zombie didn’t deliver the goods. Stripped of most of his onstage artifice (the only remains of which were two giant pictures of Frankenstein and the Wolf Man that I mistakenly ID’d as Moe from the Three Stooges), Zombie was still charismatic enough to keep the horrorless show swift and, yes, fun-filled. While Zombie has never written a tune as memorable as “Eighteen” or “Strutter”, his best songs are surprisingly catchy and even poppy. “Living Dead Girl” is like Britney Spears given an industrialized “Addam’s Family” makeover, while “Dragula” has a shout-along chorus straight out of Gary Glitter’s songbook. Harder rocking tunes like “Meet the Creeper” and the White Zombie chestnut “Thunder Kiss ‘65” deliver the predictable-yet-still-potent heavy metal thunder that involuntarily gets your neck and head moving back and forth. But don’t take my word that it was a good show. Take it from the unnamed gentleman standing next to me who wrung a shot glass-worth of sweat out of his white undershirt before the first encore. Now that’s what I call metal that’s good to the last drop (Note to self: Don’t wear sandals to a Rob Zombie show). | http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/zombie-rob-020809/ | 2013-05-18T11:02:13 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

After smoke was found pouring into one of its Boeing 787 "Dreamliner" planes yesterday, forcing an emergency landing, Japan's All Nippon Airways grounded its entire fleet of 787s. Japan's Transport Ministry referred to this as a "major incident." Today, the Federal Aviation Administration has decided to ground all 787s in the US--that'd be six of them, all operated by United. The FAA had already begun a full-scale investigation into the safety of the much-maligned 787, which has had more than its share of issues since introduction, but this is a huge move. The problem seems to be with the plane's lithium ion batteries. We'll let you know more as soon as we know. [via The Verge]
Since when was "smoke pouring into the cabin"? All the reports I read stated a warning light came on and the pilots smelled what appeared to be burning. Still a bad situation, but let's not kill this plane before it has a chance. Anyone familiar with aviation and the history of new aircraft realizes that there are always bugs to work out. Engineering an aircraft of this advancement is not like building a bird house.
@det1mrh; So what are "all the reports I read"? I'm curious, because I've got this thing in my head about this particular aircraft. As you say, this isn't just a typical advanced part design, or a typical aircraft evolution. I've been digging into this aircraft since before the general public had any idea just how many untested leaps forward this aircraft was making. And I've watched the finger pointing at each discovered flaw.
The recent engine flaw, of the failed midshaft technology is a good example. The Boeing engineers say it's not their fault. Nor would it be their fault if one of these planes full of people falls out of the sky with a problem the engineers knew about beforehand.
Me? I'm just a nobody. Machinist in metal and wood, tool and die, that kind of stuff. But I know that if I saw any flaw in any part or procedure in one of the shops I've made car parts at; and didn't IMMEDIATELY pull out all required safety procedures and stop the flawed work, then it was MY job in danger. Even if the flaw wasn't found with my work.
Doesn't appear to be that way in this EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT though. Apparently, the Boeing engineers put an engine in, bolt er up, and it's just good to go. Midshaft failure and all. And yes, I know what it actually takes to find something like a crystallizing jet engine midshaft. And yes, I know that IT IS IN FACT PART OF BOEING'S RESPONSIBILITY to catch ANYTHING that made it through GE's quality assurance.
Boeing employees need to remember something very clearly every single day for many years to come. ANYTHING that has one of these planes falling out of the sky full of people WILL BE ON BOEING. Not on GE. Even if it's an engine flaw. GE will be putting out other jet engines over all the years it takes Boeing to crawl their way out of bankruptcy over the Dreamliner. If there are problems with any part on those planes, Boeing needs to be pointing fingers NOW, not after one fall out of the sky. Supposedly, they have that capability. We ain't seen it in action yet.
First consumer products start seeing lower production quality and now aircraft? Its one thing for a computer to fail because of low production quality its an entirely different level for an airplane to fail because of low production quality, especially from one of the biggest aircraft companies who also makes the worlds most used mid-sized jet.
As of last night, Boeing shares had dropped 2.60 per; with the sell-off continuing in off hours trading.
While the shareholders may not like it if they can't deliver as many planes per month, they'll like it less than they do today if they can't deliver quality planes, every time, every month.
If the engineers or the line workers know things that aren't being addressed comprehensively, now is the time, not later.
Quasi44:
The problem is, instead of making everything in house, they are contracting out to many different areas. When things are assembled, they are not done in the proper order either. Part A will need put in. Part B next but, part B isn't in. So, they put in Part C. Part B comes in, then they have to take apart part C to put in part B. This has been not only the problem, but the delays in delivery as well.
On top of that, there is the looming possibility of a strike in the Seattle Boeing plant. That has everyone on edge as well. It has been looming for a few months now.
Furthermore, det1mrh is correct in saying that ANY new aircraft is going to have problems that are going to need ironed out. This is going to take years to find all the problems that are going to show up. Some of those problems are going to require thousands of airframe hours to find. Lets not jump in to burn down Boeing now. | http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2013-01/faa-grounds-all-boeing-787-dreamliners-following-yet-another-failure | 2013-05-18T10:13:14 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

The rental yard is busy. The utility trailer you want is inexpensive, and the yard help assists you in hooking up the trailer hitch and safety chains. Now to drive home and load the trailer with the entirety of a teenager's life, then ship her off to college several states away.
But not until you hook up the lights on the trailer. The trailer dealership won't let you leave until the lights work. And the trailer plug on the back of your truck doesn't remotely match the one on the trailer. The friendly trailer-hitch counterman points to the display of electrical connectors and suggests that if you can't get them working on your own, he can have a mechanic do it for you, first thing Monday morning.
Desperate Times, Desperate Measures
Trailer wiring may be easy. Many vehicles, particularly pickups and SUVs, come prewired for trailers. If there's a preinstalled hitch, the connector might already be in place behind a convenient spring-loaded cap. Or, if you've bought a new vehicle, you may find the harness needed to install the connector inside the glovebox. Simply unplug the connector to the rear lights on your truck, plug in the trailer harness between the male and female ends, and you're ready.
But wiring a trailer may not be easy. If you're towing just for the day and don't ever plan to tow again, you can pick up some adapters that replace the taillight bulbs in your vehicle and have pigtailed wires hanging from them. How you route the wires out of the light sockets and down to the hitch can be problematic. And what if you have a trailer with simple 1-lamp lights and a car with multiple taillights, like most European cars? At the very least, odds are the trailer and vehicle use different connectors, as the trailering industry uses at least four different styles.
Red To Green To White
Let's start with the basics. Most trailers have three circuits--for running lights, and left and right brake lights. The brake lights will flash for the turn-signal function--it's up to the flasher relay in the car to know when the brake lights are on and to flash the appropriate filament. So technically, you need only three wires to the trailer plus a ground wire.
Always run a ground wire from the frame of the vehicle (not from the hitch or bumper) to the trailer. The metal-to-metal contact in the hitch is not reliable enough for a consistent connection.
This means you'll need a connector with at least four contacts. Not surprisingly, the standard flat-style connector for trailers uses four pins, with one unshrouded male pin on the vehicle end for the ground. Other common styles of connectors use five, six or seven pins, and these are the styles you'll see installed by the manufacturers on new vehicles. Why more than four? Larger trailers sometimes use a separate circuit for running lights on the sides and front of the trailer. Some trailers use electrically actuated brakes. It's not uncommon for enclosed trailers to have interior lights or accessories powered by the vehicle battery, so that means another circuit. Do not freak. As long as you concern yourself with only one circuit at a time, this job will not require you to read those schematic diagrams that have tiny little wires labeled with type too small for even a lawyer to read.
Over-The-Counter
Got a 7-pin connector on the truck and an inline 4-pin connector on the trailer? We found an adapter at the auto parts store that makes this plug-and-play. Other permutations of connectors may be adaptable with off-the-shelf parts.
Splice It
Worst case--you have a car or truck with no provision for trailer lights, and a trailer with a harness that ends with chopped-off wires. You'll need nothing more complicated than a 12-volt test light or volt-meter, and some splicing capability. Start by turning on the vehicle's running lamps. Now probe the vehicle wiring to find out which wire leading to the taillights is hot. Splice into this wire and bring it to the vehicle side of the trailer connector. Which pin? The connector should come with a list specifying which pin handles which circuit. Follow it--but don't for a minute trust that someone else who wired your vehicle before you followed anything except his own whim. Tag each wire with its function as you identify it. Now you can turn off the running lamps and activate the left turn signal. Identify which circuit is the blinker, and repeat for the right turn signal. Wire all to the connector.
Separate But Not Equal
A few vehicles use separate lamps for the brake and the turn-signal functions of the rear lights. That's fine--until you realize the trailer uses a single 2-filament bulb for all three functions. Adding another taillamp housing to the trailer is one option, but a simpler solution exists. Your trailer-rental place, and most auto parts stores, sell simple electronic adapters that will combine the brake-lamp and turn-signal functions. It installs in the harness just before the trailer connector.
Other Circuits
Some larger trailers have a separate circuit for clearance or marker lights, which are separate from the running lights in the taillamp assemblies. You may need to add another circuit to handle them. If you try to wire them in parallel with the customary pair of running lamps, you may overload the vehicle's headlamp switch--so you'll need to add a relay to handle the extra current.
There also may be a 12-volt circuit for running lights inside the trailer or for charging the trailer battery in the case of a travel trailer. This circuit probably will be hot whenever the engine is running, but it may be controlled by a switch on the dash. Be sure the wires are of a gauge large enough to handle the load (a fully discharged deep-cycle trailer storage battery may draw 20 or more amps when you start the engine). The use of a battery isolator is strongly recommended. This will prevent discharging the vehicle battery from the trailer, and prevent surges of current from overcooking the wiring or blowing a fuse.
Whoa, Nellie
This leads to the concept of electric trailer brakes. These are actuated by a controller in the vehicle that increases the voltage to the brakes proportional to the vehicle's deceleration. This requires a wire from the controller to the trailer brake. (This is why some connectors have as many as seven pins, to make provisions for the multiple circuits.) Use 12-ga. wire for this circuit. If you have electric trailer brakes, there must be an auxiliary battery and a breakaway switch in the circuit to slow the trailer if it comes loose from the hitch.
Keeping It All Together
How to make the connections? We've seen plenty of trailers lumbering down the road with blinking or dim lights. Odds are, if you looked at the wiring on one of these rigs, you'd see wires twisted together and insulated with electrical tape. Almost as bad are the automotive-style crimp connectors, which can't handle the vibration and moisture. Any crimp connector exposed to the elements will have a short life span. Don't even think of using household-style wire nuts--they'll unscrew themselves within a few hundred miles. We use the screw-in Posi-Lock connectors illustrated here for quick jobs. Our own trailer has every connection made with solder and PVC shrink tube.
As you button up, smear a film of dielectric grease on the hitch connectors to prevent moisture from corroding the pins.

So with apologies to the blood pressure of those at BMW who designed the all-new 2012 650i convertible, I declare this to be one flexible drop-top.
I mean this as a compliment.
This BMW is flexible, figuratively, because its character is widely amenable to the driver's whims or mood, be they manic or mild. This malleable personality means the four-seat 650i convertible can go toe-to-toe with a variety of competitors, namely the Jaguar XK convertible but also riffs on the $100,000 topless theme like the Mercedes-Benz SL550 and, at times, the Porsche 911 Cabriolet.
What's more, this ability to parry with such formidable company is aided by a lack of the flexibility, in the literal sense, that convertible engineers loathe.
Removing a car's roof or making it retractable deletes a fundamental element of the car's stiffness. Structural rigidity is essential to maintaining a vehicle's control, especially on one that's as inclined to hit high speeds as this 650i.
Yet the slide-rule sultans at BMW managed to make a convertible that the company says is almost 50% stiffer than the previous 6-series convertible. Usually, automakers' claims about stiffness are as dubious as those on certain late-night TV ads. This car lived up to the sell.
Paying the bill for this rigidity is an increase in the car's weight. This new 650i convertible tips the scales at a hefty 4,531 pounds, a 250-pound increase over its predecessor. This gain manifests itself most clearly around tight corners, where oversteer becomes noticeable and the car's rear end is eager to shake itself loose from the grips of traction.
Reining in this tendency is a system that's at the core of the 650i's broad applicability. Called Dynamic Driving Control, and seen on numerous other BMWs, this standard system provides drivers with four levels of electronic aid. Toggling up from Comfort to Normal, Sport and finally Sport Plus progressively dials the traction control, steering, suspension, throttle and engine into their more aggressive modes.
Also tunable is the eight-speed automatic transmission's shifting characteristics. In addition to manual shifting and paddle shifters, the tranny has a Normal and Sport mode. (A six-speed manual, a divine rarity on cars of this caliber, will be available later this year.)
This lengthy menu of characteristics means the 650i convertible is as suited to the passive driver looking for a comfortable and demure grand touring car as to the aggressive driver looking to raise some pulses and cause some mayhem.
Yet pilots falling into the latter category should take note that not all is flawless with the 650i's strenuous nature. As you dial up the Dynamic Driving Control, the steering becomes more weighted, yes, but it also loses a lot of the road feedback that an assertive driver appreciates. As with BMW's Z4 35is I tested last year, there seem to be too many layers of over-engineering between the driver's hands and the road.
The Sport Plus setting also makes the 650i's suspension a threat to your dental work. When combined with the 20-inch rims and tires my tester had as a $1,300 option, potholes and the like were jarring experiences.
Powering the 650i through, at or around such obstacles is an all-new, twin-turbocharged V-8. This 4.4-liter unit is good for 400 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. BMW says the car will get from zero to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds and I have no trouble considering this number conservative. This car can scoot. And a wide torque band, courtesy of die turbos, allows for said scooting at a wide range of speeds.
This robust power plant and newfound rigidity are ensconced in a completely redesigned shell that is much more palatable than the previous car.
That 6-series had a front end that looked like a Klingon after a Botox mishap. It had style, yes, but in the way Homer Simpson has masculinity — in a less-than-appealing fashion.
This new version makes half the effort, and with the exception of the nebulous front, extracts twice the result. The rear end is the car's best angle, with a horizontally oriented design highlighted by wide and narrow LED taillamps. The rear-view camera pops out from behind the BMW logo in the center of the trunk lid.
The 2012 car is several inches longer and wider, and overall it has a more elongated, sleeker profile. The handsome proportions add some much-needed sophistication to the 650i's presence.
The multilayer convertible top looks good up or down, and the driver can operate it at speeds of up to 25 mph. A nifty feature carried over from the previous 650i is the glass rear window that can be operated independently of the roof's position. What isn't nifty is the frustrating dearth of visibility when the top is up.
The stylish interior of this BMW balances the company's historically sporty disposition with an appreciable degree of refinement. Drivers now feel like they're getting their money's worth from a car with a base price of $91,375. A navigation system with a massive 10.2-inch screen, 20-way power front seats, an adaptive cruise-control, nappa-leather seats and a rear-view camera are all standard.
My tester, with a sticker of $103,525, added options such as a lane-departure warning system, blind-spot monitoring, side-view cameras for pulling out of driveways, a stitched leather instrument panel and heated seats (they should be cooled too on a $100,000-plus convertible).
Rear seat room is tight for adults but manageable on shorter trips. Trunk space is compromised as well, but not egregiously; there is certainly enough room for a weekend's worth of luggage.
Fans of the 6-series coupe have only a few more months to wait before the mechanically identical, fixed-roof version hits dealerships. And the online rumor mill is abuzz about a possible four-door 6-series going on sale for the 2013 model year. I'd bet yes on that one.
BMW has worked itself into an enviable paradox with the 2012 650i convertible. It's figuratively flexible in its appeal to a variety of drivers. Yet in the literal sense, this car is an engineer's stiff-arm to the demon that has so plagued other rag-tops.
No apoplexy required.

One owner of Steelers makes bid for Browns
Share with others:
The Cleveland Browns have spent much of their recent history likely feeling as if they have been owned by the Steelers, who have won 22 of the past 24 meetings.
Now, they might be bought by a member of the Steelers ownership group who is a self-described ardent Steelers fan.
Jimmy Haslam III, the son of a truck-stop magnate whose family is worth $3 billion, is considering purchasing the Browns from owner Randy Lerner -- a move that likely would force Haslam to divest his interest in the Steelers.
Haslam is one of 10 minority owners who purchased stock from members of the Rooney family when the team reorganized its ownership structure in 2009. His percentage in the team is believed to be between 5 and 8 percent. At the time of his purchase, Haslam said, "I am 1,000 percent a Steelers fan!"
Haslam comes from a powerful Tennessee family that includes his father, James II, who founded Pilot Flying J, the biggest operator of travel centers in North America and the 11th-largest private company in the U.S.
Jimmy, the oldest son, has run the business for years as CEO and president. It brought in $17.8 billion in revenues in '11.
His brother, Bill, is the former mayor of Knoxville who is now governor of Tennessee.
Lerner issued a statement Friday that was posted on the team's website, confirming Haslam's interest:
[l]eague approval, care has been taken so that this process will not be disruptive to the organization, in particular the football team, as it prepares for the upcoming season. We will share further details or make an announcement if it becomes necessary."
Haslam could not be reached for comment.

Effortlessly Beautiful
Posted by Lois Eliason on August 09, 2011 0 Comments
Not knowing a thing about Christopher Isherwood’s 1964 novel A Single Man or Tom Ford’s adaption of it, I expected only to be possibly bowled over by the unveiling of possible unknown and phenomenal haute couture from the 1960s. As it turns out, the movie was incredibly subtle and paced slowly—resembling stop-action photography, so we viewers could appreciate each moment of George Falconer’s day as it is unveiled to us.
What did bowl me over, however, was Julianne Moore’s character, Charlotte (Charley), who is the characteristically Baroque, glamorous, nearly gaudy element that I expected from Tom Ford. Of course, I absolutely loved it.
Charley’s home was remarkable. I loved that upon entering it, you necessarily walk through a small foyer lined with lush, gorgeous citrus trees—-a demand to spend time in an idyllic Garden of Eden before you enter her den of iniquities. This is not to say that I didn’t love the aesthetic of Charley’s den: minimal and chic, but comfortable, too. I loved the giant twin leaded-glass mirrors against the walls; one which was visibly so old, that it did not reflect properly. I loved Charley’s pink pillows that matched her pink cigarettes…every detail about her lifestyle was so outrageously beautiful. It was not perfect, but it was beautiful.
And, like her home, Charley is not perfect, but she is outrageously beautiful and seductive. Her lush and unbalanced character plays a nice contrast to George’s restraint and repression. She dines with George wearing a simple and columnar dress offset by gold baubles: dramatic earrings, a cocktail ring, and a thick cuff bracelet. Her hair is teased into a casual up do. Her dark-lined eyes don’t appear overdone. However, we know (as the movie tells us), that her appearance is the result of a good amount of time spent at her boudoir earlier that evening.
The entire movie, both in its elements of restraint and unrestraint, brilliantly embodies the Italian term “sprezzatura”, which according to Baldassare Castiglione (who coined the term in The Book of the Courtier, c. 1528), is a way of projecting oneself and his/her qualities in a manner that seems effortless and without premeditation.
Though Ford does give us a glimpse through Charley’s character, of how tedious of a device sprezzatura is, the movie itself has so fully embraced the essence of the term, that we are unaware, as we should be, of how elegantly every detail, every mundane moment, is crafted.
Some years back, a fresh-faced friend of mine needed to pick up some cosmetic essentials while shopping around with her fiancé. She reported his alarm at the $300.00 or so bill she rung up rather quickly at the Chanel counter. She turned to him and said “Look at my face. Do you like my face? This is what it takes to make me look this way.” And, she did look fantastic—all the time. Art, Fashion, Life…it all takes some effort to be so effortlessly beautiful.

I have been to The Netherlands and I found it as a cool country. I mean Dutch people are very healthy, helpful and lively. I found two characteristic things in the Netherlands. The use of “weed” (in other terms its called marijuana) to certain amount is “kind of legal”. Apart from the “weed” legalization stuff, I found they have world class cycling infrastructure. I always wondered how dutch people developed their world class cycling infrastructure? How did they motivated people to mass use the cycles?
These questions are not common questions…even many Dutch people would not know the answer. Let us take a short look into this video and why not find it out yourself. If you like just hit “share” button. There is no harm in sharing Good Stuff…

Thanks! When I began writing this story, the first thing i wrote was that 'he has red eyes' conversation. I'm glad my favorite part to write of this story was the best.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
Someone asked me if they could adopt it so they could continue it, and i said yes. Once she gets it going, i'll send you a link to it :)Thanks so much for the review! It makes me a little sad that I gave my story away to someone who could do it justice since i only wanted for this to be a one shot, but I think i'm doing the right thing. I hope.
Thanks! I'm glad you thought it was cute and creepy. It's such a wonderful pair!
Thanks for the review, Snapegirl! I'm glad you liked it. I have been considering continuing the story, but i'm still uncertain. Perhaps if plot bunnies visit me tonight, then maybe. I have never, ever, EVER thought about writing a story where Harry is a little boy, except for this snippet :) but... it may happen. I'll let you know if i do. Thanks!
Thanks. I intended for this story to be short. Honestly, I just really hate child fics like soo much, but I had this little idea so i just went along with it.
I didnt even think about it! *Sighs. Oh well, I have a rough draft for a Halloween story i want to post sometime around that holiday. It gives me a few months to write it, even though i've been in the planning stages for it for almost a year now.

User Quota Monitor is built to look at how much space each user is taking up on a volume and comparing that against their quota. If they are over the quota, actions get fired. The Directed-Email Action is especially useful in this case since it can send clean up reminders to the end users.
The User Quota Monitor inspects data sets collected by the File System Analyzer. This will make sense when you notice that you specify where you want the quotas to be checked by selecting an existing File System Analyzer data set. By doing this, the User Quota Monitor becomes dependent on the File System Analyzer, and is automatically run when at the end of the analysis (note that this monitor does not have the means to select its scan period--it runs after each run of the selected File System Analyzer).
Configuration of this monitor works best by letting the File System Analyzer complete one scan first. That way the User and Curr Size columns will be filled in automatically.
There are three ways to set the quota for each user:
1. Set the default quota which will be used for any user that doesn't have a quota already specified
2. Manually enter quota values in the Quota column for any individual user (specify units of K, MB or GB)
3. Use the Bulk Quota Update mechanism which makes it easy to set many users to quotas in a flexible way.
If you want the users to receive email quota reminders, be sure to add the Monitor Directed-Email action. The User Quota Monitor will need to determine an email address for each user to notify. You can either enter an email address for each user in the Fixed Email column or create an Email Address Pattern for combining the username with some text to come up with an SMTP email address. You can also edit the message that is sent to the user which can include simple replacement variables indicating quota sizes, directories, etc. | http://www.poweradmin.com/help/StM_3_4/Monitor_User_Quota.aspx | 2013-05-18T10:32:05 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

European bike brand reports record high market share
November 10, 2009
Filed under Features
Ducati introduced its 2010 lineup of motorcycles at Italy’s prestigious industry event in hopes of improving on a record-setting market share year.
Ducati President Gabriele Del Torchio told press at the Italian event EICMA that Ducati had recorded a high of 7.2 percent of market share on a worldwide level in 2009.
To improve on those gains, the manufacturer unveiled its previously announced Multistrada 1200 as well as changes to its Hypermotard and to its Monster family.
For 2010, the Hypermotard will now a become a family of bikes as there will be three versions. Ducati said it has improved the power and reduced the weight on the 1100 EVO and the 1100 EVO SP.
Additionally, the Monster family for the first time will feature ABS-equipped versions of the 696 and 1100 (basic and S).
Of course, the biggest 2010 introduction figures to be the Multistrada 1200, which features four different riding modes, traction control and electronic suspension.
Pricing for the Multistrada 1200 will be $14,995 in the United States, with three option packages available: ABS, “S” Touring and “S” Sport. | http://www.powersportsbusiness.com/features/2009/11/10/european-bike-brand-reports-record-high-market-share/ | 2013-05-18T10:32:17 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

The Viral Lowdown: Lack of Leadership Leaves Latinos In Lethal Lurch
So it was the year of the Latino, right? If you're a bilingual pop star, you grabbed Grammys and platinum record sales. But even though the rate of new HIV infections among Latinos is four times that of whites, Ricky Martin's ass-shaking got mucho más ink than the fact that Latino groups are reported AWOL on AIDS.
"It's been hard to put a Latino face on AIDS," said Dennis deLeon, head of New York City's Latino Commission on AIDS. "There's a feeling that 'somebody else' is taking care of it."
Blacks made up more than half of all infections last year; Latinos, one fifth. But lacking a Magic Johnson-sized PWA -- or such leaders as Rev. Jesse Jackson -- many advocates wonder how bad it has to get before it gets better. "The emphasis has been on the African-American experience, which is huge and terrible," deLeon said. "Many of the same barriers that stalled black AIDS action are at work here but there are others unique to us, too."
One is the language divide; another, differing risk factors. According to deLeon, Mexican-American men who have sex with men are more likely to be at risk, while among Puerto Ricans, IV-drug users are. "There's no one way to address so many different heritages, and risk factors," he said.
Rich in clashing cultures, Latinos have never been politically cohesive, and there's no single equivalent to the NAACP. "Latinos need to step up," said Angel Nuñez of Florida's Farmwork Coordinating Council, which does prevention among rural Latinos. "I go out to the fields in my jeans and sneakers, and people listen to me." And advocates from, say, the National Minority AIDS Council should spend more time outside the Beltway, added Nuñez.
Black awareness' recipe may have to be translated into Latino: a 1998 study found that 90 percent of Latinos saw AIDS as a major threat. Even Carlos Santana might have something to say. Is anyone asking? | http://www.poz.com/articles/208_1448.shtml | 2013-05-18T10:41:01 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism in Medical PatientsOverviewVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) affects approximately 2 million people in the United States each year, with about 200,000 dying from pulmonary embolism (PE).1 VTE is a significant problem in hospitalized patients and PE is the most preventable cause of in-hospital mortality. Among hospitalized patients, VTE often is associated with surgery; however, 50% to 70% of symptomatic VTE and 70% to 80% of fatal PE occur in medical patients.2-4 It is estimated that annually about 8 million medical patients admitted to US acute care hospitals are at risk for VTE.5 Several evidence-based guidelines for prophylactic anticoagulation for hospitalized patients are available, but underutilized. One international study revealed that guideline-recommended prophylactic anticoagulation was used in only 40% of hospitalized medical patients at risk for VTE.6 In the US portion of this study, 48% of at-risk hospitalized medical patients received appropriate VTE prophylaxis.5 According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, provision of appropriate thromboprophylaxis is the number one strategy for improving patient safety in hospitals.7 To optimize patient outcomes, healthcare practitioners must understand risk assessment to identify candidates for thromboprophylaxis and implement evidence-based prophylactic anticoagulation.8

Where are the jobs? This was the reverberating chant from Republicans during the campaign, but now that they can set the agenda the answer is no where. Conservative Republicans upset that the Fed is injecting cash into the economy are putting forward a bill to change the existing mandate of the Fed. Since 1977 the Federal Reserve has been required to keep down unemployment and simultaneously control price inflation. The Republicans like high unemployment and the collapsing economy doesn’t have any inflation.
During Alan Greenspan’s reign as Fed Chairman he put the two mandates into a blender and came up with the “mandate to control wage inflation“. His mission as the representative the billionaire class was to eliminate the middle class in favor of creating more working poor. He was very successful, as George Bush noted when ambushed by a middle-aged women who stated that she had three jobs he responded, “Three jobs? Well idn’t that just the American way…”. And you thought George didn’t pay attention in briefing sessions.
In reality there isn’t much the Fed can do to create jobs with the economy in shambles but they could make things a lot worse, especially now that the Republicans can stop the government from doing anything meaningful and they want to make sure the Fed isn’t tempted to do anything constructive either.
It’s hard to say what effect this latest printing of money is intended to do. They are only buying longer term Treasury bonds with stated goal of lowering interest rates but interest rates already range from cheap to free now. Perhaps one could glean something from who they are buying them from? The best source for Treasury bonds is from the Treasury Department auction, they sell a lot of them every week.
The Fed is instead buying them on the open market with the intention of paying more than the current price to “lower“ interest. The interest rate is the inverse of the price since the interest was included in the original price of the bond. To pay “lower interest” the Fed has in effect give a gift to who ever sells them their bonds.
We don’t know yet who is selling their bonds. Someone cynical might assume the big Wall Street banks are the beneficiaries. How about rich people? The Bush family has much of its fortune in Treasury bonds. Then there’s China with 900 billion (they have been quietly selling for sometime) Japan has a similar amount as do the Arab sovereign wealth funds.
It’s possible the Fed is simply doing its job to protect the money supply by heading off a massive dumping of US debt that would put us a Greek like condition of soaring interest rates. You can bet what they’re not trying to do is create jobs. They are trying to keep the investor class from finding out they are holding a lot of worthless paper.
With US having been turned into a third world country that produces nothing and sells its resources to maintain the lavish lifestyle of the 1% at the top, the “full faith and credit” of the United States of America isn’t worth what it used to be. “In God we Trust” on the money is now a poignant reminder that should read, “your reward will be in heaven” because they won’t cash your check here.

God's own check cashing store
1 comments:
"By the people, for the people..." Didn't know when I was told that years ago that "people" were businesses and that the "people" that it is "for" is that one percent.
We are screwed! Check in on us in...how many years did it take the Chinese to go from great to not so great to great again? Can we beat that? We spent a pretty small time at the top of the heap in a historical sense so I don't think we will beat the Chinese run from rich to poor to rich. | http://www.prairie2.com/2010/11/gods-own-check-cashing-store.html | 2013-05-18T10:20:54 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

On his DJ-Kicks release, which drops in November, South London's Gold Panda has included a brand-new track amongst a slew of tunes from the likes of Zomby, Bok Bok, and Matthewdavid. The tune in question, "An Iceberg Hurled Northward Through Clouds," gets off to a twinkling beginning before finding its pulse. And even though it hits a steady, nearly danceable BPM, "An Iceberg..." never turns into a balls-out club jam. Instead, it's a melodic, meticulously crafted instrumental tune punctuated by both shimmering bells and crowd-friendly hand claps.
You can stream the track below. The compilation drops Nov. 8. | http://www.prefixmag.com/media/gold-panda/an-iceberg-hurled-northwards-through-clouds/56776/ | 2013-05-18T10:22:32 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Thursday was the deadline for major league teams to offer contracts to those players eligible for arbitration. If an offer is made, a player is bound to that team, although he can get a better contract through arbitration.
It is no surprise that Jacoby Ellsbury and Jonathan Papelbon are still with the Red Sox.
Also expected was reliever Hideki Okajima not receiving a contract. His production has decreased. Okajima had a 4.50 ERA with Boston last year.
But Boston also did not offer arbitration to Taylor Buchholz and Andrew Miller, two pitchers the Red Sox recently picked up (Buchholz off waivers from Toronto, and Miller from the Marlins in a trade for Dustin Richardson).
For now, Okajima, Buchholz and Miller are all free agents.
Two possibilities on Buchholz and/or Miller: Either Boston has decided neither pitcher is a fit, or the Red Sox are gambling that they can sign the pitcher(s) for less money than they would have had to fork out in the arbitration | http://www.pressherald.com/blogs/thomas/111253744.html | 2013-05-18T10:31:54 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

PORTLAND - Nervous? A little. Worried? No.
Mary Leasure, left, and Kate Liziewski, a co-captain, are seniors who didn’t play that much on McAuley’s talent-laden team this season, But when the time came to cut down the nets after the state final, their teammates insisted in a classy move that they do the honors. And they did it in style.
John Ewing/Staff Photographer
Olivia Smith, a sophomore who scored a game-high 15 points for McAuley in its 54-41 victory against Cony in the Class A final, finds room in the lane to loft a short jumper.

RECENT ‘A’ GIRLS CHAMPS
2012: McAuley
2011: McAuley
2010: Scarborough
2009: Deering
2008: Deering
McAuley High had watched Cony whittle its nine-point lead down to two. The Rams had all the momentum. And then ...
The Lions reacted like a defending champion, scoring nine consecutive points to regroup on their way to a second consecutive Class A girls' basketball state championship.
"It got crazy a bit when they cut it to two," said Bill Goodman, the first-year coach of the Lions. "But we just put the ball in our leaders' hands and they did a good job."
The leaders were seniors Alexa Coulombe and Sadie DiPierro, and sophomore Allie Clement -- the three returning starters from last year's championship team. With them directing the way, McAuley earned a 54-41 victory over Cony at the Cumberland County Civic Center. The win completed a 22-0 season for McAuley, which won its fourth state title overall. Cony, playing in its 12th state championship game, finished 21-1.
"I never imagined this," said Goodman, who replaced Amy Vachon after she won a title in her only year at McAuley. "I've been on the losing end a couple of times and I know what that feels like. To be part of this is amazing. I give my players all the credit. They deserve it. They handled the pressure pretty well."
Goodman could have been talking about the pressure to repeat, or the pressure that Cony was putting on the Lions. Either way, it was appropriate.
Cony, which needed to hit its outside shots to compete against the much taller Lions, came out cold, hitting just 1 of 14 on 3-pointers in the first half, which ended with McAuley up 25-17.
Then the Rams, whose interior defense against the taller Lions was phenomenal, pulled within 26-24 when Melanie Guzman (14 points) hit two foul shots with 5:13 left in the third.
Cony had two chances to tie the game, but a miss inside and a steal by Clement kept the Lions ahead. Clement then found Olivia Smith (game-high 15 points) inside to help regain the momentum for McAuley.
The run would reach 9-0 -- two Smith foul shots, a 3 by Clement and a Smith 10-footer -- and McAuley had a 35-24 lead. Cony got no closer than seven.
"They're a great team; they're not undefeated for no reason," said Karen Magnusson, Cony's coach. "We got to make a great run and then they came back with their run. That's what you're going to find when you play a great team: They're going to make run after run after run.
"My girls played very hard and put everything out there on the court. We didn't come out on top but they should be very proud of their year."
The Lions said it was simply a matter of calming down. Cony's pressure defense rattled McAuley early in the third quarter. Once the Lions settled down, they got into their offensive rhythm again.
"We wanted to get it to Alexa," said Goodman. "Then get it into Allie's hands and Sadie's. They're the champions from last year. We figured we'd put the ball in their hands and they'd lead the way."
They did. While Coulombe had only seven points, she directed the Lions on the court. Clement finished with 11 points. DiPierro had two -- a steal and layup off an inbounds play at the start of the fourth quarter that set the tone for the rest of the game.
"We needed to keep our head and keep playing our game," said Coulombe, who had nine rebounds and five assists. "We just needed to keep our cool."
McAuley would slowly push the lead in the fourth quarter, with Molly Mack (four points, 10 rebounds), Clement, Coulombe and freshman Victoria Lux (10 points) leading the way. The lead peaked at 17.
"It wasn't our best game," said Clement, "but it didn't really matter. We had all the heart and battled back and knew that winning was the most important thing, no matter how it happened.": | http://www.pressherald.com/sports/highschoolsports/bball2012/a-western-sweep_2012-03-04.html | 2013-05-18T10:22:30 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

LONG BEACH - A Cambodian-American man from Long Beach was one of 206 immigration fugitives caught in Los Angeles County as part of a nationwide sweep that concluded with more than 3,100 arrests, federal officials have announced.
Veasna Uy, 34, was one of three Long Beach residents who were arrested. The other two weren't immediately identified.
In a press release announcing the apprehension of Uy, federal officials incorrectly said he was convicted of manslaughter in 2000, but Los Angeles Superior Court records show Uy was actually convicted of attempted manslaughter.
He was also convicted of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
Additionally, Uy was convicted in 1999 of carrying a concealed weapon, and in 1998 of burglary and receiving stolen property.
"He has a long criminal record," said Virginia Kice, Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman.
ICE is looking to deport Uy to Cambodia. However, according to Mary Blatz, an advocate for the Cambodian community who has assisted Uy in his deportation hearings in the past, the Poly High graduate was born in France.
She says, according to Uy's family, he has never set foot in Cambodia.
ICE spokesperson Virginia Kice said the information she had was that Uy was a citizen of Cambodia.
After his conviction, Uy served more than eight years of an 11-year sentence.
Blatz said Uy was picked up after attending a welding class through
"To me, he's rehabilitated. He's not the same person he was," said Blatz, who has helped represent members of the Cambodian community facing deportation.
Blatz said she visited Uy in detention.
"He said he's living a good life, no matter what happens," Blatz said. "I believe him. He's a nice guy. He's intelligent and thoughtful."
Federal agents announced the national sweep, nicknamed "Cross Check," on Monday.
"The results of this targeted enforcement operation underscore ICE's ongoing commitment and focus on the arrest and removal of convicted criminal aliens and those that game our nation's immigration system," Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton said in a statement.
The six-day operation, which ended Thursday, involved more than 1,900 federal, state and local officers.
Of the those arrested in the Los Angeles area, 106 had prior convictions for serious or violent crimes. More than 70 have already been removed from the country.
Those arrested included a twice-deported 43-year-old Mexican national with drug convictions living in Bell and a 42-year-old Salvadoran living in North Hollywood, who was convicted in 1994 of arson. He was being held by ICE without bond pending a hearing before an immigration judge.

SEAL BEACH - Stroll down Main Street's always busy shopping area, wander down the pier amid the beach crowd in wide-brimmed straw hats and flip-flops, stop in at the Bay City Center off Pacific Coast Highway and see the men and women come and go, and in most ways Seal Beach is as it has always been.
In other ways, it will never be the same.
Today residents will meet at Eisenhower Park for the first of several anniversary commemorations and vigils to remember a senseless act of violence that shook the town that likes to call itself "Mayberry by the Sea" to its underpinnings.
It was on Oct. 12, 2011, one year ago Friday, that a gunman burst into the popular Salon Meritage and killed eight people, including
Those killed were 48-year-old Michelle Fournier, a salon employee and the alleged gunman's ex-wife who had been in a child custody fight;.
Scott Dekraai has been arrested and charged with eight murders and one attempted murder. The lengthy legal process is ongoing, and the Orange County District Attorney's
In addition to taking eight lives, shattering eight families and devastating countless friends of the slain, the shooting also severely tested this oceanside hamlet and left it with memories and scars that are still healing.
Grieving process
As the anniversary date approaches, emotions have naturally returned to the surface, particularly for those most closely affected.
Criswell Signature Salon, a next-door neighbor to Salon Meritage, 500 Pacific Coast Highway, is close to the epicenter of the tragedy. It is where five former employees of Meritage have set up work stations while they await the planned reopening of the salon.
"This week there's a lot of heaviness," owner Kimberly Criswell said.
At the same time, she added, "There's been a lot of bonding and support.
"Healing is a process, and for some it may be lifelong."
At St. Anne's Parish, where several victims were congregants, Monsignor Michael Heher says he still talks about the shootings from time to time in his homilies.
About the continuing grieving, he said, "A lot depends on how close you were to those who died."
Heher said he had a recent conversation with a brother of one of the victims who said in his family some members were ready to move on, while others still had work to do.
The Rev. Josh Reeves, senior pastor at the Center for Spiritual Living, which is just across the street from Salon Meritage, says grieving and recovery are unique to each person.
"You have to accept yourself where you are (in the grieving process,)" he said.
As one moves away from the salon and the day of the shooting, the emotions are more attenuated.
"People have gone back to their lives, but they hold a consciousness of healing and care," Reeves said.
"They still look each other in the eyes, but they hold that look for a second longer."
While many have moved on in the year since the shooting, it still remains, at least in some form, in the collective consciousness of the community.
City Councilman Gordon Shanks said that in most ways the city is moving on and putting the memories behind it, although this week is different.
"This is not one of those things you want to be constantly reminded of. I think most people will go to the memorial, but this is not something you want the city to be remembered for," Shanks said.
Heher said one can never fully put such a tragedy completely in the past, but one must "step forward into the life you're given."
City Councilman David Sloan said many in the community have dealt with their grief by trying to properly remember the slain.
"One thing that has kept people occupied is working on a (permanent) memorial," Sloan said, noting that details remain to be worked out on what it will look like and were it will be installed.
Around the salon
A year after the tragedy, there are still visible signs of the shooting in the Bay City Center shopping complex.
The area remains active. The building where Salon Meritage is located is also home to a handful of other salons and health beauty shops, including one for pets, plus several eateries and assorted small businesses.
It is an area where well-heeled and well-coifed women gather. The businesses cater to their vanity and dish the latest gossip, to be sure, but just as important they provide personal relationships and a sense of community and support.
So in that sense, regardless of the proximity of other beauty shops, the loss of Salon Meritage leaves a hole both physically and psychically.
Chain-link fencing surrounds the salon, which sits in a corner unit. Now just a husk of its former self, the salon is being remodeled and, according to a worker who didn't give his name, it should be completed within a month to five weeks.
Inside the salon, boxed furniture is stacked against walls. Just inside the front door is a circular piece of tile in-laid into the wood flooring with the decorative "M" that was the salon's logo, a reminder of what was and what will be.
Sandi Fannin, the widow of victim Randy Fannin, has said she plans to reopen the salon with Irma Acosta, another hairstylist and friend who is buying the business, although the exact date still remains undetermined.
For many, the reopening will be an important milestone both for the community and the former employees who will return to the salon.
"It gives (the employees) something to look forward to. I think it's courageous and takes fortitude and support," Criswell said. "I think those who lost their lives are looking on and saying, `Yes, yes, don't let (the gunman) have the final word.' I'm glad they're doing it. Irma (Acosta) said she couldn't see it go dark. In the community I hear a lot of backing and support for having life back in there."
Criswell said that several of the former employees have taken clients and guests over to the construction site to provide sneak peaks at the progress.
"It's going to be absolutely beautiful," Criswell said.
"Some people, to move on, they need to know that the person who did the killing didn't win," Heher said.
Don Shoemaker, the pastor emeritus at Grace Community Church and a retired Seal Beach Police Department chaplain who counseled many community members after the shooting, said the return of the salon is a sign of resiliency.
"We've been victimized once, and we do not want to be victimized again. It shows a sense of resilience of determination," Shoemaker said. "It doesn't sugarcoat what happened, it shows that we will move forward and continue to support one another because that is what we've always done."
Sloan said every time he drives past the Salon he thinks of the tragedy but that seeing the business up and running again will help many, like him, feel some sense of closure.
Coming back stronger
For many there will always be a coda to the city's name: Seal Beach, where something unimaginable happened. But members of the community and civic and faith leaders insist they won't let the tragedy define their city.
"We (as a community) can't do anything to minimize the suffering and the awfulness of what happened," Shoemaker said. "But if you are trying to look for a silver lining, the tragedy shows how the community pulled together and how we can be supportive of one another. How the sense of grief and loss is shared by everyone."
"I think we're a closer community," Heher said, adding that for many, it underscores how fragile and precious life is.
"The city came together like a small town does," said the Rev. Tia Wildermuth of United Methodist Church of Seal Beach. "It was a horrible tragedy, but it is not reflective of us."
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, the outpouring of support and grief was a revelation to many. Days after the shooting, hundreds of residents showed up for a hastily arranged vigil, spurred mostly by youth.
One of the speakers that night was Jake Tellkamp, a 19-year-old college student from Seal Beach.
"This tragedy doesn't define us," Jake Tellkamp said, as he struggled to hold back the tears. "This moment here defines us."
"You saw `Mayberry by the Sea' last night," City Councilwoman Ellery Deaton said after the vigil.
Criswell said that in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, her shop was as much a place for emotional triage as hair-cutting.
"People were wandering around not sure what to do," she said. "So we'd invite them in just of have a drink and talk."
Almost organically, Criswell said people brought by bottled water and food and reached out unbidden to one another.
"There was a lot of support, a lot of tears," she said. "There were many levels of that."
"Wounds can become scars we wear with pride," Reeves said. "Just because of the way the community came together in such a positive way."

Schubert wrote almost as much music for piano duet as he did for piano solo. He wrote his first piano duet when he was thirteen and spent much of his final year (while dying of syphilis) writing a series of four-hand masterpieces. It is perhaps surprising therefore that they are not more frequently performed than they are. Earlier this year Paul Lewis and Steven Osborne did their bit to try and redress that with a series of concerts around the UK, and luckily for us they took their programme into the recording studio as well – the result of which has just been released by Hyperion.
The programme features two of his most famous duets from his final year (1828) - the Allegro in A minor (Lebensstürme), D947 and the F minor Fantasie, D940 - along with two sets of variations, a rondo and a fugue. They are brilliant works full of drama, charm and subtlety, but are in many ways much more difficult to perform than the solo works. Apart from the obvious physically awkward bits of clashing elbows and jostling fingers there are other issues when playing piano duets which are all too easy for non-pianists (like me) to forget. For example as Steven Osborne pointed out in his blog earlier this year:
”Only one person can pedal at a time, so someone has to cede control of this crucial tool to their partner who inevitably has different pedalling instincts. Even if they didn't, the instinct is initially to pedal in accordance with one's own part which can ruin the sound of the other part. On the other hand, pedalling in a way which supports a melody you're not yourself playing can be surprisingly tricky.
Then there is the problem of timing. Piano notes have a very percussive start, which means that it is exceptionally hard for two players to make chords sound together - any discrepancy of more than one or two hundredths of a second is audible. This can be a serious headache for music which needs rhythmic flexibility.”
Their achievement on this disc is really quite remarkable as, apart from successfully conquering the issues mentioned above, they do so with a degree of uniformity in approach and musicianship that makes it very hard to tell them apart. They have the complete measure of Schubert’s writing - at times dramatic, at times reflective, and at others full of real charm and allure. And in the Fantasie in particular they achieve a really special stillness which is both striking and captivating. Textures never sound cluttered and you can always hear the most important melodic line (or lines) clearly.
These are two brilliant musicians at their absolute best and is without doubt one of my favourite discs this year.

Hamish Milne makes a welcome return to the Romantic Piano Concerto series with two recherché delights from the nineteenth century.
Józef, ‘the other Wieniawski’ is the brother of the more famous violinist, Henryk. His highly attractive Piano Concerto in G minor is in the mould of those by Chopin and Liszt, with the piano very much in the foreground. Goetz’s music, although full of melodic gift and mastery of form, was rarely performed after the end of his short life. His piano concerto proved to be the most successful of his orchestral works played during his lifetime..

A whole host of world premieres amongst this month's Dutton Epoch release. Of particular note are the second volume of John Foulds Orchestral Works, and two discs of Rutland Boughton who died fifty years ago in 1960, but to be honest they are all worth exploring.
Another superb batch of re-issues from the popular Australian Eloquence series. Included this month is a great Percy Grainger album featuring amongst others Peter Pears and Benjamin Britten, Sir Charles Mackerras's 1982 Pineapple Poll, Stravinsky's Soldiers Tale narrated by Sir John Gielgud, Walton's Façade narrated by Dame Edith Sitwell and Sir Peter Pears, and Ashkenazy conducting Mahler's 3rd Symphony.

This fascinating disc includes several first recordings in a broad survey of John Cage’s unpredictable muse, from the simple pleasures of a short score written in the 1950s for a synchronised swimming display, from which the album takes its title, to the more arcane delights of his musical compendium based on star-charts, Atlas Eclipticalis.
Though the music inevitably ranges from the most regular and predetermined score to an aesthetic of chance and serendipity, dependent on the will of the performer, Cage’s voice, whimsical and questioning, is everywhere present, asking what music is and how and why we listen to it. Much is owed in a Cage performance to the musicians, their skill and their sympathy; no different in that general sense from a Schubert performance, perhaps, but an extra degree of imaginative sympathy is required of musicians who must themselves make many important decisions about the very stuff of what they will perform, such as on Two: what instruments to use? Which notes, and how fast?
Roberto Fabbriciani is a seasoned musical collaborator of Cage’s, who worked with him and other outstanding figures of the post-war avant-garde for over three decades, performing, promoting and in many cases helping to refine their music. So he has prepared his own version of music from Atlas Eclipticalis, and he is joined here by a young percussionist who takes on the formidable demands of one of Cage’s most elaborate scores, 27’10.554’’ for percussion and tape.As the disc unfolds at its own unhurried pace we may hear a quietly determined and utterly original composer in works for a quixotic combination of instruments.
It is the latest in what is becoming a notable series of Cage recordings on Brilliant Classics, which is making a serious contribution to the composer’s growing discography, otherwise largely to be found on obscure and premium-priced labels.

A speed awareness education and enforcement campaign was launched Thursday to encourage motorists to drive safely as the weather worsens.
On average in North Central B.C. there are 24 crashes resulting in injuries or death in October and that number more than doubles in December, according to the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia.
In the North Central region, icy roads are the main factor in crashes where the driver was traveling too fast for the conditions, said Fiona Temple, ICBCs director of road safety.
Driving is a complex task that requires your full attention, but especially in winter weather.
"When snow and ice hits, it can seriously reduce your visibility and make stopping on road surfaces more difficult.
"We want you and your family to stay safe on our roads so in poor weather, please slow down, increase your following distance and allow extra travel time.
The campaign includes some light-hearted help for those who are running late, a common excuse for driving at speeds unsafe for conditions. Go to icbc.com/drivesmart and you'll find a web-based "excuse generator," the idea being that there is always an excuse for being late but never an excuse for speeding.
Here are tips from ICBC for safe fall and winter driving:
Get prepared. Check the weather before you head out for the day. If youre planning a trip to an area youre not familiar with, check the road conditions for your entire route so you can prepare for the weather you may encounter.
Slow down. Posted speed limits are for ideal conditions only. It takes more time and distance to come to a complete stop on snowy roads. Slow down and increase your following distance to at least four seconds.
Prepare your vehicle. Make sure that your tires are rated for the conditions youre driving in, the tread isnt badly worn and theyre inflated at the correct pressure - pressure drops in cold weather and over inflated tires can reduce gripping. Make sure your wipers are in good condition so that you can see more of the road.
Leave the car at home. When heavy snow arrives, consider alternatives for getting to work so you get there safely - whether its taking transit, carpooling with a friend whos a confident winter driver, working from home or adjusting your hours of work. | http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/article/20121101/PRINCEGEORGE0101/311019963/-1/princegeorge/icbc-urging-careful-driving-as-winter-sets-in | 2013-05-18T11:03:12 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

DAT North American Freight Index Reports Record December Volume in Spot Market
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The December DAT North American Freight Index saw the highest volume for the month since the Index began in 1996. Compared to December 2011, freight volume was up 5.0 percent in the spot market. However, compared to unusually robust November spot market freight levels declined 18.4 percent, following a typical seasonal pattern. In eight of the past ten years, volume dropped between November and December, for a ten-year average decline of 13 percent.

The seasonal trend equally affected all three of the major equipment types on a month-over-month basis. Compared to December 2011, van freight volume increased 13.1 percent, refrigerated ("reefer") freight levels were flat and flatbed freight availability dropped 7.3 percent.
The monthly DAT North American Freight Index reflects spot market freight availability on TransCore's network of load boards in the United States and Canada.
Following the same seasonal pattern, rates declined for the three equipment types in December: van, reefer and flatbed rates declined 4.3 percent, 3.8 percent and 7.8 percent, respectively, compared with November. On a year-over-year basis, van rates rose 0.8 percent, while reefer rates dipped 2.0 percent and flatbed rates dropped 7.3 percent.
Rates are derived from national averages,. | http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/dat-north-american-freight-index-reports-record-december-volume-in-spot-market-187144171.html | 2013-05-18T11:06:59 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

We reported to you a couple of days ago the Microsoft official UK price for its Kinect was £129.99, and then we asked if it was a price you our readers was willing to pay at launch or wait until the price might come down? We can report that speculation of this happening are already beginning.
Computerandvideogames.com is reporting that Rod Cousens CEO of Codemasters thinks a price drop could happen early next year. He speculates that Microsoft will sell a lot of units during Q4 despite the launch price of the device.
He went on to say “The price point will doubtless have been researched and influenced by the timing of release and the anticipated achievable volume from the Xbox 360 devotees who will want to be first in line for the latest offering.”
He continued by saying “Microsoft will be confident about selling all it can make this year. Thereafter, it will be interesting to see if there is rapid downward price migration early on in 2011.”
With the possibility of Microsoft dropping the bundled game he added “By bundling with a game [Kinect Adventures], it implies a standalone price target of sub-£100 – which is where Kinect will need to be if it is to attract mass and establish itself as a platform.”

Electric vehicles are becoming more and more common amongst new cars manufactured these days. With the Geneva Motor Show having recently debuted a few more new ones. There is still plenty of space in the market for electric sports cars however with only a few so far actually making the production line.
One of these cars is the Tesla Roadster. We previously brought you news about the Tesla Roadster back in July last year but now it seems finally the vehicle has a worthy competitor the Artega SE which was one of the cars which debuted at the events in Geneva just recently.
According to an article by Omar Rana at egmCarTech the SE (sport electric) manufacturer Artega say they plan on producing 500 models a year starting in 2012. Artega are previously responsible for the Artega GT which while it wasn’t an electric sports car was still able to 0-60 in less than 5 seconds.
This Artega SE will also be capable of such speeds and will be able to comfortably travel up to 124 miles off one 90 minute charge. It reaches speeds of 155mph and has a 37kW lithium polymer battery accompanied by a 375hp engine produced with twin electric motors in the rear.
More details about this car can be found at the link above where you will find if you’re thinking of getting one of these it will cost you around $200,000 or €150,000 to be exact. What do you think of the Artega SE? Will you be getting one? Let us know in the comments below.

As technology evolves and as the price of digital gadgets lower down, the analog versions of capture tools, such as the old-school notebook, are slowly fading from the productivity scene. The fast-paced paradigm shift in technology makes it hard for old-schoolers to adapt to modern technologies. But there are those modernists who are slowly embracing the old ways.

Establishing The Habit Of Staying Productive
The best way to establish a habit of being productive is stay being productive. Consistency is truly a virtue when it comes to forming a course of action you want to take. The habit of being productive involves massive amounts of effort and consistency to always stay on top of one’s game. The lose ends and other insignificant details that various tasks usually involve should be adequately managed. Letting these lose out of one’s control will only dishearten whatever momentum one has already established. | http://www.productivitybits.com/tag/growth-2 | 2013-05-18T10:12:49 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

- Lens Color for Safety Glasses
- Hazard Assessment and Protection Required
- Safety Glasses Definitions
Compliance for Safety Glasses: ANSI 287.1-2003
ANSI Z87.1-2003 (Z87+)
Choose safety glasses that comply with ANSI standards.
ANSI Z87.1-2003, a replacement to Z87.1-1989 (R-1998), is truly performance driven. The most noticeable difference deals with eye protector impact levels. Two levels of impact resistance, “Basic” and “High” are now defined for safety glasses. Marking requirements have changed to reflect these levels of impact performance. Devices that meet the “High” impact criteria must be marked “Z87+”. Frames should meet the “High” impact level. If the eye protector only meets the “Basic” impact criteria, a warning label must be attached to the protector. Currently, ANSI Z87.1-1989 is incorporated by reference into the OSHA regulations, and, as such, carries the force of the law.
Lens Coatings for Safety Glasses
- Anti-Fog Coatings provide.
- Anti-UV Coatings absorb more than 99.9% of harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Lens Color for Safety Glasses
Understand the functionality of task-specific lenses and determine what type of safety glasses are best for your application and environment. A good rule of thumb is to choose a lens based on color opposites. For example, blue is opposite of yellow and red is opposite of green. So, red lenses absorb green light and yellow lenses absorb blue/ultraviolet light and vice versa.
Clear Safety Glasses
For general indoor applications where impact protection is required.
Gray/Smoke Safety Glasses
For outdoor applications where light and glare can cause eye strain and fatigue. Provides good color recognition.
Mirror Safety Glasses
A clear lens with a slight mirror coating serves the same purpose as gray lens, yet allows more visible light through the lens for indoor/outdoor use. Reduces glare from artificial light.
Gold, Blue & Silver Mirror Safety Glasses
Use outdoor where sunlight and glare cause eye strain and fatigue. “Mirror” coating reflects light, reducing the amount of light that passes through the lens.
Dark Green Safety Glasses
General-purpose protection from glare and UV radiation.
Brown/Espresso Safety Glasses
For outdoor applications where sunlight and glare cause eye strain and fatigue. Good for color traffic signal recognition requirements.
Vermilion/Red Safety Glasses
Enhances contrast while reducing all color equally for optimum color recognition. Ideal for indoor inspection.
Amber Safety Glasses
Blocks the blue portion of the visible light spectrum, creating maximum contrast enhancement, particularly in low light.
Filter Shades Safety Glasses
Protect against ultraviolet and infrared radiation generated when working with molten metal, and in welding, cutting, soldering and brazing operations.
Shades 1.5–3
Torch soldering.
Shades 3–4
Torch brazing.
Shades 3–6
Cutting.
Shades 4–8
Gas welding.
Shades 10–14
Electric arc welding.
Hazard Assessment & Protection Required
Safety Glasses Definitions
- Face Shield—A supplementary protective device worn to shield the wearer’s face from certain hazards. Face shields are secondary protectors only and must be worn with safety glasses or goggles, as stated in ANSI Z87.1.
- Goggle—A protective device that fits the face, surrounding the eyes in order to shield them from impact, splash and vapor hazards. Available non-vented or with direct or indirect vents.
- Impact Resistance—The ability of safety eyewear to withstand impact when tested according to ANSI requirements.
- Infrared Radiation—Electromagnetic energy with wavelengths from 780 to 2000 nanometers (nm).
- LASER—An acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation.
- Lens Impact Resistance—A lens capable of withstanding the appropriate impact tests of ANSI Z87.1.
- Luminous Transmittance—The fraction of light (380–780nm) passing through a medium.
- Nanometer (nm)—One billionth of a meter, 10-9 meter.
- Optical Radiation—The part of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths between 200 and 2000nm.
- Sideshield—A part of safety glasses, commonly attached to spectacles, that provides protection to the side of the eye.
- Ultraviolet Radiation—Electromagnetic energy with wavelengths from 200–380nm, per ANSI Z87.1.
- Welding Helmet—A protective device intended to shield the eyes and face from optical radiation and impact. Welding helmets are secondary protectors and shall be used only in conjunction with primary protectors. | http://www.professionalequipment.com/content/selecting-safety-glasses.asp | 2013-05-18T10:31:20 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

I would like to add some observations.
What has started in 2008 is just the beginning and we still only scratching the tip of the iceberg, we are not in a crisis but in a system failure.
The present socio-economic system, based on constant growth, expansion, and constant self calculation on the expense of others, has become self destructive since it is unsustainable in a closed, finite system, and we have passed the tipping point in 2008.
Whatever happened since is just a series of desperate cosmetic adjustments, simply deepening the problem instead of solving it, like pumping a terminally ill patient full of morphine.
What is happening now in Europe will appear in the US and other parts of the world very soon due to the inevitable natural laws governing our global, integral system.
Since the US is the epitome of our excessive, overproduction, over consumption lifestyle that is collapsing, they will feel it possibly more than any other country.
On the other hand the foundations, and resources of the US are good, thus there is good base to start recovery from, but only if they understand what went wrong and how we need to adapt to our global, interdependent conditions in order to recover.
And it will be difficult because the new attitude humans need in relation to each other is totally opposite to how Americans viewed themselves and world for decades.
Even in this article the writer is already analyzing how the US can use the global troubles ahead for their own purposes and benefit without any thought of others. This is impossible in our interconnected system.
From now on each and every one of us need to take the whole system into consideration before individual or even national self calculations.
The motivation to do so against our present thinking would come from the full understanding of our 21st century global, integral network, and how we fit into this network.
Thus we need to take into consideration the countless of objective scientific data already surrounding us regarding this.
Otherwise we do not stand a chance. | http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/america-s-g-zero-moment | 2013-05-18T11:02:38 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Brave Story for the PSP Gone in a few Days…
Looks like there are long-term side-effects to digital PSP games; expiring licencing rights. Companies like Atlus and XSEED depend on licencing games, so it’s sad to see this element biting them in the long run. XSEED are the first company to formally announce such a problem with one of their titles: Brave Story: New Traveler, an underrated yet awesome JRPG. In a few days, it will be pulled off the PlayStation Store, never to be seen in English again. If you have it for UMD, then lucky you. I remember buying mine during my stay in Montreal (accompanied by Jarrod in EB Games), but obviously it’s currently hard to find. So to better prepare yourself for the inevitable, especially if you’re upgrading to Sony’s upcoming NGP/Vita successor, go and download this gem for 9.99$ only. You won’t regret it as PlayStation Magazine ranked it in the top 10 best PSP RPGs of all time.

This has been one of my biggest fears with digital downloads. Think of it like what happened when Sony tried to launch the PS1 classics and all the problems they had. Some of the music wasn’t licensed, some games were cofinanced, etc. Add all of this together and after around five years the games are no longer legally available. This sucks because it means no games are truly safe and future proof.
I just bought the game I won’t have the chance to play it again anytime soon, but the fact is that if I want to down the road on the NGP now I will have it forever. Thanks for the head’s up Ahmed. Be sure to keep us all posted on news like this.
@Jarrod Nichol: It’s just a shame that this news post is buried under all the E3 hype. None of the mainstream media sites even bothered to report this. It’s also bad luck on XSEED’s font that the Store has been down for a month. They didn’t even get to promote the game for long. I downloaded it as well even though I own the UMD just to support the guys. 10$ is a steal either way.
Yeah man I know. Sorry for the story, but E3 is obviously all the rage right now. I downloaded this the minute I saw your post and am very pleased I did so. A lot of great PSP games are only $10 now so more people should check them out. If nothing else, at least when the NGP comes out, but by that time classics like Brave Story will already be long gone :( | http://www.projectcoe.com/2011/06/04/brave-story-for-the-psp-gone-in-a-few-days/ | 2013-05-18T10:30:28 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Vintage Nationals Race Report – Chris Cristo
Event: Vintage Nationals
Location: Bethel, CT
Classes Entered: 2wd Buggy, Stadium Truck
This past weekend I attended the Vintage Nationals held at the Bethel RC Race Arena in Bethel CT. For the past 4 years the Vintage Nationals, or Vonats as most people refer to it as, has been held indoors in nearby Waterbury. For this year race promoter Erich Reichert decided to bring the race outdoors to change things up a bit.
The Bethel Race Arena track crew did a great job designing a vintage friendly track that was fun to drive yet easy on the old vehicles and their limited suspension. The track was made up of a hard base with some loose soil on top that increased as the races went on. The surface held up well and the track crew quickly fixed any problem areas between rounds. Traction varied from med to low depending how much loose soil was on top.
After 4 rounds of qualifying I was TQ in both 2wd buggy and stadium truck. For the stadium truck main I was able to get away early while the others behind me battled it out. At the end of the 7 minute race I had lead every lap to take the win. In 2wd, a first turn pile up left me starting last. I slowly fought my way back up and had the leader in my sights, but ran out of time and finished 2nd.
Aside from practice, I was to use the same set of tires on both my truck and buggy all weekend. On truck I used M3 Holeshots front & rear with open cell foam and buggy I used M3 Holeshot front tires, M4 Tazers rear and the Pro-Line 1:10 Off-Road Wing. | http://www.prolineracing.com/blog/vintage-nationals-race-report-chris-cristo/ | 2013-05-18T11:02:24 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Sandwich ELISA from direct? - (May/18/2011 )
Experience: somewhat familiar with ELISAs
Question: Can I create a sandwich ELISA from a direct ELISA method?
Background: I am trying to detect/quantify a unique transgenic protein that i'm extracting from plant tissue. The problem is the only method for immuno-detection is a direct ELISA (for pure bacterial produced) which requires I bind the protein (antigen) to the plate and then add a MAb specific for the antigen, followed by a secondary antibody for the MAb.
Problem: I cannot get a signal when the plant-soluble protein is bound as a whole to the plate. I would like to develop a sandwich ELISA from the materials I have if possible so that I can add a 'dirty sample' and get good detection. Is this possible???
Thanks thanks thanks
you will need a second antibody to your antigen. it should be from a species not recognized by your secondary antibody and should be against a different epitope than your antibody. coat the plate with this antibody. | http://www.protocol-online.org/biology-forums-2/posts/21156.html | 2013-05-18T10:45:19 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
