The indictment brought down against former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, on Wednesday paints a portrait of a couple with expensive tastes.
A Rolex watch, an Oscar de La Renta dress and thousands of dollars for food and fees at an exclusive golf club are among the gifts the McDonnells are accused of accepting and not disclosing.
If convicted of the 14 felony counts brought against them, the McDonnells would face a maximum of 30 years in prison.
Authorities also said they would have to return some of those gifts. Below is the property that is subject to forfeiture:
The sum of not less than $140,805.46;
Black Rebecca Minkoff shoes;

Issues with Lotus and Marussia's entries into this year's Championship have been resolved.
Earlier this month when the FIA released the entry list for the 2014 F1 World Championship, both teams were marked "subject to confirmation."
However, both Lotus and Marussia were quick to deny that there was any pressing issue that would keep them out of the Championship.
That has now proven to be true.
The FIA confirmed that both teams places on the grid are secure.
Speaking about his team's entry, Marussia team boss John Booth told Autosport: "Yes, it is confirmed.
"We're a small team and we have to manage our cashflow, that's the best way of putting it.
"Sometimes you have to prioritise but we knew it had to be paid and it was paid when we needed it to be."

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) – New Mexico's chile acreage inched upward slightly last year, but the crop's long-term future still faces plenty of challenges.
That's according to experts at the state's annual chile conference held last week in Las Cruces.
In all, about 9,600 acres were harvested in 2012 – a modest 100 acres more than the previous year, according to federal numbers presented.
It's the second year in a row the crop acreage increased, after hitting a nearly 40-year low point in 2010.
"We're sort of stabilizing," said Dino Cervantes, 2013 president of the New Mexico Chile Association.
And while that may be seen by some as a positive, the problems that caused the New Mexico pepper industry's decline are still there, experts said. Among them are higher labor costs than in competitor countries, a crop that's vulnerable to plant-killing diseases and an irrigation water shortage locally. Dońa Ana and Luna counties are the top two chile-producing counties in the state.
Lou Biad of Las Cruces, who owns a chile-processing company, said chile farmers in China, Mexico and Peru pay their workers a fraction of U.S. labor costs. The difference is $8 to $10 paid per hour domestically to $2 per day paid in other parts of the globe.
"The biggest problem we have is competition from other countries, where they can produce a product at a much lower cost," said Biad, while attending the conference. "The whole world is after this market."
Plus, Biad said farmers and processors in other nations have far fewer regulations to contend with.
"I have stacks of rules and regulations that the Chinese dealers don't have to deal with," said Biad, whose company owns three plants.
Some 210 people attended the two-day event at Hotel Encanto de Las Cruces, including representatives from chile-processing plants and salsa companies, chile growers and chile scientists, organizers said.
A number of vendors were present, too. David and Sharon Crawford, distributors from just north of Artesia, N.M., were advertising a crop fertilizer, called Organic Gem, made from liquified fish. They claimed it would boost growth of chile and a spectrum of crops.
"It's organic; it's not going to hurt anyone or anything," Sharon Crawford said.
Researchers from the New Mexico Chile Institute, based at New Mexico State University, announced the completion of a draft map of the chile genome – a major step toward making genetic improvements in the chile crop.
There are potential genetic modifications to chile that could combat prominent chile diseases, said NMSU Associate Professor Stephen Hanson. For instance, a gene to deter a type of pathogen, known as phytophera, has been found in potatoes, he said.
"We're trying to see if we can move this gene into chile," he said.
The research that will be needed is expensive and could take a while, Hanson said.
"Lots of this is work in progress that will bear fruit in future years, hopefully," he said.
The chile institute has reached the $500,000 mark in raising money to pay for an endowed chair – essentially a permanently funded researcher who'll be dedicated to chile, said NMSU Professor Paul Bosland, co-chairman of the conference. The group is aiming for $1 million. Sales of chile products by the institute – which has a new social media presence – go toward the endowment, he said.

Tips and Tricks
What you need to know to set up your network.
802.11b provides up to 11Mbps of bandwidth; 802.11g and 802.11a each
provide up to 54Mbps. However, that's all shared bandwidth, meaning all
clients within range of an access point (AP) share its capacity. Think
of each access point as a single-lane highway: Everybody shares the same
pipe when getting from one end of town to the other. If there's an area—such
as a conference room—where more users need better bandwidth, APs can be
stacked, effectively adding "lanes" to the highway. Each AP provides a
full bandwidth connection—either 11 or 54Mbps—to a wired network. However,
there's a limit to stacking: The b and g
specifications provide only three channels, so there can't be more than
three APs in the same transmission area. While the a spec provides less
overall range, it allows for eight channels, increasing the number of
54Mbps lanes that can be provided in any given area.
By the way, the 11 and 54Mbps rates are the data rate for the connection,
not the actual throughput. Throughput in a b
network ranges from .9Mbps to 5.8Mbps, depending on range, while throughput
in a g network goes from about .9Mbps to 24.7Mbps;
throughput in an a network is about the same.
All three wireless protocols provide fallback speeds whenever transmission
quality is poor. 802.11b networks can fall back to 1 or 2Mbps; networks
using a and g have
a wide range of fallback speeds. You may also know that the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™
designation requires all 802.11g equipment to be backward compatible with
802.11b signals. However, did you know that your 802.11b/g AP provides
a special fallback speed known as mixed g? This
mode activates automatically whenever an 802.11b client is within range
of a b/g AP, and the mode forces all g
clients to operate at a slower maximum throughput of about 15Mbps. That's
better than the b-only speeds, but only about
half of what g can really do. What's worse,
this mixed mode will prevail throughout the entire interconnected network.
For example, suppose you've placed your APs so their transmission areas
overlap—a perfectly normal practice. A single b
client within range of a b/g AP will result
in all APs running on the same channel to go into mixed g
The solution? Either get rid of every b client
on your network—unlikely, as it's built into so many devices like laptops
and PDAs—or deploy a secondary, high-speed g
network on a separate channel. That's more complex and more expensive,
but if you're bound and determined to have the fastest wireless transmission
rates possible, it's the only choice.
We've all seen 802.11g offerings claiming speeds in excess of 100Mbps. Sound too good to be true? Well, it is and it isn't. Those speeds are certainly possible, but not by strictly following the IEEE 802.11g specifications. Manufacturers offering faster data rates are going a bit outside the spec. That means the speed advantage will only be had if all the equipment involved—wireless network cards and APs alike—are using the same technique (generally meaning they must come from the same manufacturer).
While going outside the official 802.11g specification can provide faster speeds, it can also jeopardize the compatibility that the specification was designed for. Most outside-the-spec products still carry the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED designation, so they should work fine with other manufacturers' equipment, but you won't necessarily be able to run at the maximum advertised speed.

CLINTON — A Camanche man will serve as much as 10 years in prison for conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine.
Everett J. Clark, 35, 2802 U.S. 67, Camanche, pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiracy to manufacture meth and asked to be sentenced that same day. Judge Gary McKenrick sentenced him to no more than 10 years in the Iowa Department of corrections and fined him $1,000. The fine was suspended.
Clark admitted in court that between Nov. 16, 2012 and July 2, 2013, he entered into an agreement with at least one other person to manufacture meth. According to court documents, his arrest stemmed from a July 2 search of Scott Richardson's home at 2802 U.S. 67, Camanche, where Clark also resided.
The affidavit continues that during the search, Camanche police found containers with materials for the manufacture of meth inside the house. Remnants of meth materials also were discovered outside, in a burn pile.
Needles discovered inside the residence tested positive for meth.
While Clark does have two previous convictions, Assistant County Attorney Amanda Meyers did not seek any habitual offender enhancement, pointing out that his other convictions were not drug related. Defense Attorney Nathan Tucker asked McKenrick to waive the one-third mandatory minimum for the sentence. The request was granted.
A charge of possession of precursors was dismissed.

I am a senior at the University of Iowa majoring in Communication Studies. I currently serve as the Diversity Chair in the UI Student Government and Co-Chair for Student Disability Org. I am also involved with the Disability Action & Planning Committee (DPAC).
I was diagnosed with epilepsy in the summer of 2000 when I was in 7th grade. I began having both grand-mal and peti-mal seizures routinely through high school. I was having trouble in school especially with mathematics because my seizures effected both my short and long term memory. I struggled to find medications to control my seizures with limited side effects. Finally, my senior summer of high school I was successful in controlling my seizures but I still struggle with memory problems on a daily basis.
My memory problems have truly affected the way I have approached my academic life in college. I have had to take advantage of the multiple opportunities to work with professors and teaching assistants. I have also just had to dedicate myself to my studies more than other students to make my academic goals into reality.
Student Disability Services (SDS) has always been there to answer questions I might have on testing and on the proper procedure to follow when talking to professors about class notes. SDS has also allowed for my early registration which has enabled me to schedule my classes later in the morning. This has truly been a blessing.Lack of sleep is the 1# cause of break-through seizures and with late night studying.
Student Disability Org is fairly new in which I serve as the Co-Chair. It has been a great opportunity for me to meet people on campus and improve disability awareness and diversity on campus. I was the first student representing students with disabilities on the UI Student Government last year. It allowed me to meet different students who were actively looking to improve campus life for students with disabilities. We were able to establish our student organization and give students with disabilities a true voice on campus. I look forward to our growth this year.
My advice to all students entering the University of Iowa is to live a balanced life and get involved in the Iowa City community you have now become a part of. Students need to understand the workload that college presents to them and establish an organized plan that fits their individual personality and lifestyle. Students should embrace who they are and the disabilities that they might have. I want students to know that they are not alone, and there are other students going through the same problems they are facing. My disability has made me the person that I am today and for that I am extremely grateful.
Favorite place to eat = Quintons. Great Food. Better Music.
Favorite Activity on campus = My favorite activity on campus might be a very popular one of many students on campus. There is nothing I love more than Melrose on a crisp fall morning. I haven't missed an Iowa home football game since I was about 12. My family is full of crazy Hawkeye fans and I followed in the same tradition.

Since the beginning of December, 25 firearms have been reported stolen from three homes in Wapello County, but only three have been recovered.
On Jan. 2, the Wapello County Sheriff's Office received a report of a burglary at a residence on 140th Avenue north of Ottumwa.
The following morning, Wapello County helped the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office chase a vehicle eluding officers west of Fairfield.
Wapello County sheriff's deputies deployed stop sticks, and the vehicle was stopped north of Agency. The driver, Carter Shepard, 25, of Ottumwa, was charged with felon in possession of a firearm, a Class D felony, and eluding law enforcement, an aggravated misdemeanor, by Jefferson County.
Charges are also expected against Shepard by Wapello County regarding stolen property found following the chase.
Shepard's passenger in the vehicle, Alexandria Bibby, 20, of Ottumwa, was also charged with unlawful possession of prescription drugs and third-degree theft following the chase.
Besides the Jan. 2 burglary of two firearms, Wapello County Chief Deputy Sheriff Don Phillips said 16 firearms were stolen from a residence east of the airport on Dec. 23 — one of which was the shotgun found in Shepard's vehicle on Jan. 3 — and seven firearms were stolen from a residence south of Ottumwa on Dec. 9.
"We haven't found anything that indicates that any of them are related," Phillips said of all three burglaries. "We're not saying they're not, and we're not saying they are, we just haven't found anything."
He said the department is following up on leads.
Phillips said the two other firearms recovered by law enforcement were found at separate locations, though he could not comment further due to the ongoing investigation.
"We have burglaries that sometimes go in spurts like this, but our concern is the amount of firearms that have been taken in the three burglaries," he said. "We've only recovered a couple of the firearms. So our concern is with all these firearms out there, we need to get them back."
The stolen firearms range from handguns to shotguns and rifles.
He said anyone with information as to the location of any of the firearms is asked to call the Wapello County Sheriff's Office at 641-684-4350 and ask to speak with a deputy.
Following the chase of Shepard and Bibby on Jan. 3 and items recovered from his vehicle, deputies obtained a search warrant for a Libertyville residence, where they found several stolen items from burglaries in Wapello and Jefferson Counties.
Brothers Michael Bibby Jr., 27, and Joseph Bibby, 26, who both lived in the Libertyville home, as well as Amber LaDouceur, 24, of Ottumwa, were each charged with second-degree theft, a Class D felony.
But on Wednesday, Shepard, Michael Bibby Jr. and Joseph Bibby were all charged with ongoing criminal conduct, a Class B felony, after items recovered in the search of the Libertyville home matched those stolen in a burglary at the Farmers Co-Op in Libertyville, as well as the burglary of a John Deere Gator and tools on Dec. 28, said Jefferson County Chief Deputy Sheriff Bart Richmond.
The burglary at the co-op was reported on Jan. 7 but had occurred sometime between Dec. 23 and Jan. 2, Richmond said.
"Tools and drive belts for machinery were stolen from trucks at the co-op," he said. "Most of it's been recovered. We found out later that the property belonged to the co-op after we recovered the tools."
Shepard, Michael Bibby Jr. and Joseph Bibby are each being held in Jefferson County Jail on $35,000 cash-only bond. Shepard's trial is scheduled for March 5. Both Michael Bibby Jr. and Joseph Bibby's trials are scheduled for May 7.
LaDouceur has since bonded out of Jefferson County Jail, and Alexandria Bibby has since bonded out of Wapello County Jail. LaDouceur's trial is also scheduled for May 7, and Alexandria Bibby's case has been bound over to district court.

They arrived though and my granddaughter got in my car and we headed to see her dad....(he lives in another city about 50 miles or so away)....My granddaughter was all smiles and bubbly again....you can just *feel and see her energy*....she has been so very happy with finally being reunited with her daddy....yes....I said all along that they had a *bond that would NEVER be broken, no matter what*....and I was right. This *family bond* has been handed down from several generations now and I am sure it will continue as long as there are children involved.
So we had fun....she arrived and wanted to look the place over, see her room and then go outside to see just where his land was. He has several acres, all wooded though. His house is small but big enough for him and his daughter to enjoy....they are together and that is what matters. A little girl so happy to spend time with her dad and his family. This is how family is suppose to be.
We had 10 hours together and still....it was short....but we will continue and then in May she will be able to have every other week-end with her dad....which will make things even better.
I was really tired when I finally got home....but it was FUN.
I did sleep good last night but still woke up tired again. Not a good thing but I think we, FMers, just learn to accept the things we can not change. It is a way of life for most of those of us who experience chronic fatigue.
OK....I have to ask....did anyone else's computer change? A couple of days ago I woke up and turned on my computer and saw that things were not the same. My favorite list is gone and this morning the computer is now *correcting any spelling errors that I am making on this post*..so now we have this function automatically? Could it be? Or is this *something* just on my computer? I have no idea.
I also noticed that someone used my daughter's name and sent me a message. She thinks her computer has been *hacked*..I have no idea. I did not open it up as I could tell it was not her normal email address. I will show it to her today so she can see for herself.
Computers are good....sometimes....they are good *tools* for most people and then there are people out in cyberspace who want to *take advantage of a good thing* as well...all kinds of weird and strange people in this world of ours. Some good and some bad....so many who are crooked and corrupt...and they are everywhere.
Welcome to the new members who have joined our FM support group. I am sure that soon each of you will find something that will help you cope better. Just know that it is a process which does take time and effort....there are no quick fixes....that I am aware of....BUT if someone happens to come across something that is....please share whatever you have found with the rest of us....as I think we are all here to find whatever might help us, FMers, cope better.
Vitamin D..we will all soon be able to get out in the warm sunshine and allow our bodies to soak up the natural Vitamin D..I have read though that this is NOT enough for most people though. I know several years ago my doctor tried to tell me that a person needed to be out in sun for 15 minutes on 3/4 of body.
That's it.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
So....I just wanted to REPLY here and tell everyone.
Don't know WHO, WHY OR HOW this happened....since I have NOT been able to do this in a VERY LONG TIME....but perhaps it has something to do with whatever has *changed* in the way the *cyber world is working now*....really....I HAVE NO IDEA.
Have a good Sunday. Enjoy the sunshine if you can.
I hope to relax and catch up on resting.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
So my browser didn't let that through I guess..
I am not big on the spell correct because at times...you see some silly things.
Oh Mimi I have to share that this new** position and work load (despite the crazy amout of hours) I am in a NO to low pain state....I have stopped my pain meds and just stay with the muscle relaxant and Savella.....I am workiing hard but it is my BRAIN....I don't want to lose any headway though so I am going to start walking in the morning before i go in the door...
I have always pushed my muscles to keep moving and felt it was mandatory on my part...and whe they were dysfunctional the neurologist will reset them. Well I don't think I even need shots right now.
"Yes, I know...this tricky dragon may be sleeping, it doesn't mean he is gone**: He can fool the best of us.
But I am going to present my position as a permanenet position to the attendings in a couple odf weeks. I have a staff of 6 RN's now with me to monitor and cases to oversee and staffing to organize so I see an opening for a real positiona s apposed to me doing it all and patients too.....Then I think I will never be happy away from the patients:(. I am such a people person.
I will work on this a bit more. Just to share why I am not around......I did 56 hours of overtime above my 70 hour paycheck! Yes, crazy....needed to do it....was able to do it....and DID IT!!
Re-reading Dr P's guidance for working helped me to set up the computer and chair just right to keep my "arms home" and I am so turned on* by the new division we are building that I am in HEAVY DISTRACTION as well.
So good news.
As far as the Grandaughter, Man no one here is as happy for you as I am. I also know the best is yet to come....such joy for you.
OK, I have only today to make sense of our clothes and food and all the things women do!!
Enjoy spring and all it brings!......NancyB
In the beginning when I first was sick....I tried to ignore the fact that something was wrong. I continued to push myself as I use to do and I just kept getting worse. Even now when I cross my line I know it as it is very *LOUD AND CLEAR* that my body does not like it at all....So have you tried any new vitamins and supplements or done anything different?
Anyway....I so hope you continue to feel little to no pain....which is good for the mind and the body as well as the spirit. I keep reading that FM is normally for people up to a certain age....50 something I think I have read....so I guess I was hoping that as I age the wrath of the dragon will leave me alone....(wishful thinking perhaps).
I do know that my stress level is still high....with my daughter's saga....I thought once the saga with my son had calmed down that surely to goodness things would get better....never, in a million years, would I have *guessed* that something worse was about to take place. But it did and we have to deal with yet another *issue*....I keep wondering just what we all will learn from this....as I am sure that is *something* that we need to know.
Throughout all of this I have definitely learned some things....a lot about *Constitutional Rights*....IF people do NOT stand up for what is right....they are only as good as the paper that they are on....nothing more, which is sad.
OK....here is hoping that you will get some rest and catch up on whatever you have to do. Remember to pace, pace and pace even more.
Have a good Sunday. Try to enjoy some sunshine, if you can.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
It's eye candy beautiful here and wonderfully warm and sunny. TGFT! I swear I was thinking it would always be cold, dreary and rainy over me. But NO, it's getting better by the day. Yesterday was great, went up to Nashville's Farmer's Market to get some plants and flowers that I couldn't find at Lowes. Loved being out in the sun and the warm 70 something, just like it is today. If I'm sleeping don't wake me up.
DH is out in the back yard putting in the plants, has his tomatoes in their contianers, not squirrl proff yet tho.
I have my flowers back out and their loving the sunshine, you can see how they've 'popped up ' with just two days with sunny skies and warm temps. I think I am feeling better as well. Doesn't take us FMers long to feel better once we have sunshine and warm temps. So please God make it spring for real this time.
MiMi, so glad your ten hours went so well. I am so happy for you and your family. Hope you get to sleep later tonight.
Cory, Congrats on the completion of the readings.
Nancy, WOW you sound busy.. busy. I went to Walgreen's last night to check out their probotics and couldn't remember which one you had said was so good. HELP. I thought about stopping @ Whole Foods tomorrow after I go see my rheumy ( mi bi yearly exam and my yearly hip x ray.) I was told to get probotics that have many strains to it.
cece, I thought of you today as DH had to spray the back porch for carpenter bees and wasps. I have a respect for bees, but not the carpenter bees.. they'll burrow into your wood beems and nest there making the house a mess of holes. UGH I do so hate them, but I love the black and yellow bumble bees in SD. We didn't have them in LA. I always wondered way.
Not a lot to say here, heading outside to help DH with clearing the flower beds and re mulching um. Then it's off to Latin Mass @ 4.. am hoping to get as much sunshine today as I possible can.
Ok, will end the post here, wishing each of you a great day.
Gentle hugs, Linda R
But for everyday I use Natures Bounty as my main company. They are trusted , true and I have dealt with them since the 70's.....
I can say i am doing nothing...that is why I am low pain. I am using my brain muscle more then the body. No repetative B/P's that is a huge trigger I think back up to the neck..and I type with elbows in, in the correct height stool.....
I am just switching back and forth in my mind what i want to do...to ask for this to be permanent or to be in cardiology mmore as the NEED is greater for serious results (I know one attending iS NOT HAPPY that i am missing....
(They feel safe when I am around) I take any crap and am big on safety...but I am loving the learning in GU. It is alot to learn though. I'll keep ya posted on my future .
Hugs to all, nancy B
back from church and breakfast..
so glad your sat went well Mimi..and that Nancy's job is going well too..and that Linda's spring has finally arrived..
Yes, yesterday, just as I was heading over to mom and dad's..I noticed a bee in the house..this is not a good sign around my house..and I went up and looked up..and yes..the bees were hovering around my chimney....We have had bees try to nest here for several years and it costs us quite a lot to get rid of them...I think last year we got rid of the ones in the Chimney..and the bee guy said they were "killer bees"...so when the next group tried to settle in the wall in the back yard, we called a bee guy and he said they were reg. bees..but you can't be too careful these days...
Anyway, I couldn't get up near the top of the chimney, but I got some bee-killing spray and tried spraying it up the flue of the chimney from the family room..hoping at least that the smell would convince them this wasn't the place to stay..and I am hoping this has worked..I haven't seen them back....keep your fingers crossed..
hope you all have a nice Sunday...cece
9" of fresh very heavy wet snow. My back is a disaster but I had to move enough snow to have a place to park and clear the walks, less than normal. My customers in the neighborhood needed less removed as well. We knew it would melt soon anyhow. I let the snow blower do the work and took my time.
As for computer stuff, I have auto correct in all of my forums now. I think it was part of a Oracle Java update. I'm not sure. My computer is normal otherwise.
It is good to see all the posts here today. I hope everyone has low pain and sleeps well tonight. Take care everyone.
I hope your back soon gets better....I know just how bad back pain can be.
So the Oracle Java Update....did this happen everywhere or do you know....I was a bit upset since all of my favorites were lost in cyberspace (?) I have no idea.
Take care and I hope you have a good Monday.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
This is a good thing though....still don't know where my *favorite list* disappeared to though.
Hope everyone will get some good rest tonight. I think I will take a bit of a muscle relaxer again. It seems to really help me to sleep better. I need it as well.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
guess it is no longer Sunday, it's early Mon. morning, technically it's 2 am Mon. morning.4 more hours to go at work.
not much going on, slept on and off all day Sat. & Sun. had wanted to goto the Hoosier Horse Fair, but didn't have anyone who could go.
oh bother,
hate going places by myself. Now I know why people have children, then grandchildren.
so have a goo night sleep everyone.

Watching Your New Best Friends Having the Time of Their Lives
It's hard to believe, but there was a time just before I got my instrument rating when I wondered whether there would be enough challenges and opportunities in general aviation to keep it interesting. Yeah, I was pretty naïve to think that.
The time since then has been pretty interesting, to say the least, and you've seen some of that in my entries on this blog.
I'm having a great time re-living some of those experiences as I edit footage from Acro Camp, a movie that I and some friends in the general aviation community shot in May. We brought in four pilots from around the country. Two men and two women. Each had between 300 hours and 12,000 hours total time. But none had a tailwheel rating and none had ever flown any aerobatics (sometimes called "acro") beyond an upset-recovery or unusual-attitudes course.
We took over Oakland Flight Academy (a Part 61 flight school at Oakland County International Airport (KPTK)) for five days, lined up an American Champion Citabria, an American Champion Super Decathlon, and a Pitts S-2B (from Berz Flight Training at Ray Community Airport (57D)) on the ramp, and everyone flew their first aerobatics. And, most importantly, we flew HD cameras and audio recorders on all of the airplanes so we could capture everyone's reactions. The picture that leads this post is a frame grab from a flight by student Jim Rodriguez (a 300-hour commercial pilot and now a CFI) and instructor Don Weaver. If you look closely, Jim and Don are giving a thumbs-up (albeit in circumstances under which "up" is ambiguous at best).
I'm still editing the footage from 41 sorties and hours and from hours of the interactions on the ground. And it's really giving me some insights that are larger than mere aerobatic training. This was the first time that each of these pilots flew upside down (at least intentionally). Some were completely gung-ho. Others approached it with some trepidation. Some picked up things right away. Some took a little while. Some did better with certain maneuvers than others. Everyone confronted challenges, fears, and misconceptions and walked away with a much better understanding of flight dynamics, energy management, and – most importantly – themselves.
Of the many thoughts that occur to me as I sit at the editing console, two really jump out at me. First, acro is unbelievably exciting and fun. It's worth pursuing flight training in and of itself. Even if all you do is go out on the weekends and fly upside down every now and then, acro is more than enough reward for the effort that goes into the training that leads to doing it competently and safely.
And, second, acro presents the same kinds of challenges that any other flight training does. The cast members in the movie were all accomplished pilots in one way or another when they arrived. But each had moments where he or she felt like a brand new flight student on his or her first discovery flight. And by that I mean moments of excitement, frustration, nervousness, triumph – the whole range of responses.
General aviation has more than enough challenges and opportunities to keep you excited and learning for a lifetime. New students can take comfort knowing that even seasoned pilots experience the same emotions when they face something new (especially acro). And seasoned pilots can look forward to opportunities to challenge themselves. And, no matter what you're doing when you train, the rewards are always more than worth the effort.
The instrument rating has allowed me to fly along with my wheels in the clouds. Acro has allowed me to calmly and precisely do things that I thought only Superman or Harry Potter could do. And watching some of my new best friends fly acro for the first time has made me even more excited about flying. I can't wait to show everyone the finished film.
Better yet, go find a flight school that has one or more aerobatic airplanes and qualified instructors and go find out for yourself!

The Tribune-Star
---- —
A long, expensive and ironic election process is nearing an end.
Democracy's most healthy exercise, voting, is the nation's best example of the freedoms Americans enjoy and cherish.
It also contains some irony in 2012. In Indiana, Hoosiers are required to show a state-issued photo ID to cast a ballot at the polls Tuesday. If they are not already a licensed driver, they can get a photo ID at a Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch. At the BMV, they'll need a birth certificate, military ID or passport to get that photo ID. Proponents of the photo-ID voting law contend that it protects the integrity of the process.
Hoosiers and millions of other Americans have been inundated with more than 1 million television ads by the presidential campaigns and "super PACS" supporting either President Obama or Republican Mitt Romney this year. Thanks to the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court "Citizens United" decision and other federal court actions that unbridled the campaign finance system, corporations, labor unions, and other special-interest organizations are pouring unlimited contributions to create and fund those super political-action-committees, adding more than half-a-billion dollars to the already eye-popping $800 million spent by both the Obama and Romney campaigns, according to The Associated Press.
Total campaign spending by outside groups exceeds $1 billion, according to the nonprofit Sunshine Foundation, cited by The AP. Nearly $900 million of that $1 billion goes toward attacking the rival candidate.
Unlike Hoosiers trying to exercise their vote, many donors behind the super PACs get to remain largely anonymous under the wide-open finance laws. Federal disclosure rules are often circumvented. As The AP reported, nonprofit "social welfare" groups funnel millions of dollars through the super PACs for "issue ads," but those nonprofits are governed by tax laws and they do not have to reveal their donors' names.
So, exactly which group poses the greatest threat to the integrity of the electoral process — an elderly woman who hasn't held a driver's license for 20 years, or a shadowy political-action group funded by a yet-undisclosed handful of billionaires?
The lax campaign financing laws essentially give a few wealthy individuals, powerful corporations and labor groups free reign to slap a nondescript name on their blizzard of super PAC television ads, in hopes of convincing voters to back the candidate that will favor the big donors' objectives. Of course, before those voters cast a ballot for the super PAC candidates, they'll need to pull out their driver's license.
Once the dust settles on the election, the 113th Congress needs to address the nation's campaign finance regulations. Full accountability should not be expected only of average American voters.

Suspect in Missing Family Case Pleads Not Guilty
November 21st, 2013 | WMFE- The man accused of killing his missing wife entered a plea of not guilty today in a Volusia County courtroom. Authorities say Luis Toledo admitted to killing Yessenia Suarez during an argument, but the search continues for her body...and the bodies of her two young children.
Toledo remained silent in court this morning as his attorney Matt Phillips spoke to the judge, entering a plea of not guilty on behalf of his client.
Toledo is charged with second-degree murder in the death of his wife, but authorities say he has blamed someone else for the deaths of her children, 8-year-old Michael and 9-year-old Thalia.
The three went missing October 22nd, after witnesses say Toledo showed up at Suarez's Lake Mary workplace and slapped her in the face during a fight.
Toledo's not guilty plea comes a day after Suarez's family announced they'd file a wrongful death suit against him.
During today's arraignment, Toledo stared intently at the family members of his missing wife who were sitting in the gallery.
The judge set a trial date of February 10th.

Reader, we have bylines for a reason. I, Horowitz, Jason Horowitz, was that boy. And Moore was my Bond. What follows, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the franchise, is a defense of why Moore's Bond — slightly geriatric, addicted to eyebrow raising, caddish to a fault — was, despite all evidence to the contrary, the greatest 007.
Let's start with his strangest movie, 1973's "Live and Let Die," a James Bond blaxploitation flick starring Yaphet Kotto ("Names is for tombstones, baby"), but more memorably, a recurring redneck sheriff character and the baritone-voiced actor most famous for calling 7-Up the marvelous uncola. History's other Bonds, which at the time really meant Sean Connery, would have seemed out of place in this 1970s hallucination. Moore fit right in. He put the moves on Jane Seymour by raising his eyebrows as high as his co-stars' afros.
By then, Moore was already 45 years old and on the third of his four marriages. He had served in the Royal Army Service Corps. He had appeared in movies with names like "Trottie True" and "One Wild Oat." He had worked as a male model for knitwear ("The Big Knit" they called him) and played James Garner's Brit cousin in "Maverick." He had become famous in 1962, as the spy Simon Templar in "The Saint," reruns of which aired on Channel 11 during those acres of home-sick airtime between kung fu movies and "The Godfather." He had been a playboy detective opposite Tony Curtis in a show that apparently did better in Germany, where they dubbed the dialogue with a different script. He had already tasted, in other words, a healthy portion of life.
As a result, anyone watching could sense that Moore's Bond cared more about the gadgets and the girls than the mission. Roger Moore seemed to know that trying to control the mission was futile. You just had to go with it and smile. Look what happened to poor, serious-looking George Lazenby when he made Diana Rigg Mrs. Bond: She got shot by Blofeld, and Lazenby got banished to the bordello known as cable's "Emmanuelle" series.

Apple posts higher revenue than Microsoft
Apple earned more revenue this quarter than their ancient frenemy, Microsoft. Roughly $20 billion to $16 billion, or $4 billion more. Not too long ago they passed Microsoft in market cap as well, another impressive sounding, if not terribly meaningful measure. Microsoft still leads in revenue due to their software-centric business being much higher margin than Apple's hardware-heavy mix. But that too could and just might change as well.
Apple, thanks to the Apple II, got off to an impressive lead in the early days of command line personal computing. But things changed. Apple squandered the Mac's first mover advantage and Microsoft and Windows ended up ruling the graphical user interface world. Now things are changing again. And that's where it gets interesting.
60% of Apple's profits come from products they've only released in the last three years, notably iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Almost everything Apple has planned and launched recently has been an incredible success, either profitable in their own right (like hardware) or deliberately run at just above break-even to support those profitable products (like iTunes and the App Store). And they're still experimenting with new revenue models like iAds in the mobile advertising space.
By contrast, almost all of Microsoft's profits came from products that have been around a generation, famously Windows and Office. Very little Microsoft has done recently has been a financial success for the company. Even the popular Xbox platform, billion dollar warranty extensions aside, has been a drop in the bucket compared to Windows and Office. Zune HD, a delightfully integrated media player was ultimately ignored and while Windows Phone 7 may bring licensing and Bing-driven advertising revenue, it remains to be seen if it can grab the mindshare Zune never could.
Apple still makes money from Macs but the world is rapidly going mobile and computing is rapidly going mainstream, and with iOS and devices like the iPad, Apple is already a dominant player and has a good shot at remaining a dominant player in the next great phase of computing.
Microsoft doesn't really make money yet from mobile or internet services (they actually lose an almost incomprehensible amount overall). While they have some time left to turn that around -- and to their credit they're turning faster and better than most people imagined -- right now they're racing to keep up with Apple (and Google) in mobile.
There are 28 comments. Add yours.
"apple earned more revenue" but "microsoft still leads in revenue"?
As someone like many others, in these past 3 years I have shifted all the money I previously spent on Microsoft-related products (computers, PDA's, etc) to all Apple products. The only Microsoft product I have bought recently was the just released Office 2011 for Mac for my wife's job.
Microsoft, much like K-Mart, Sears, GM, Chrysler, Dell, and many others are typical American companies who got too fat and happy all while competitors blew past them. I really don't think Apple should fear Microsoft at present. It seems Google is more of the threat to Apple now. 10 years from now things could be much different too. Nobody saw Apple and Google being this big 10 years ago.
Nice lost reference.
@Christinschu it's called a profit margin dumbass. Didn't even quote it correctly, Microsoft leads in profit. Profit margins and revenue are different. Maybe you didn't go to high school, not your fault.
Don't stick the fork in ole MS yet. They might figure it out yet.
Microsoft won't figure it out, except in a few limited. They are good at supporting products they've made for many years. The XBOX is the exception that has hope of big profits if they don't have to do more recalls
So...when comparing Apple to Nokia, it's profit that matters, but when comparing them to MS, it's revenue? Just want to make sure...
why waste so much time comparing Apple with Microsoft ? I dont see Apple making Office software and i dont see Microsoft making hardware..
its like my dad got me a better chocolate then your its a full 3 inches long.
@ Jimbo ... well said
The main thing that I get from this is that MS is making money on old products with a possibly limited life expectancy while Apple is making money on fresh new products! Who knows, maybe the pc may become a dinasuor in 5 years and pocket computing could be the replacement in out of office situations. Very possible IMO.
Another totally biased post from Rene Jobs.
Microsoft crushed Apple in terms of PROFIT.
Jimbo said it best.
I hope Rene at least gets a percentage of the revenue for his major a$$ ki$$ing ;) :twisted:
John, just keep an eye on the sales of new products such as Kinect next week ;)
"mindshare...." love it. To me it signifies a major shift that we've seen in the disparate ways these companies operate in the past few years. MS: behemoth, slow-moving, measured, sometimes stale; Apple: nimble/flexible, innovative (apologies), market-savvy, visionary--and a great marketing plan.
@Jimi: Don't be rude, Christinschu isn't stupid at all (or at least not his comment). The article was wrong at first and was corrected after he pointed it out.
You are right. A post like this is ridiculous.
I own products from MS and Apple and I am happy with both of them. MS is learning pretty fast to make better consumer oriented products. Just look at the Xbox 360! This is only a 2nd generation product and it sold more than Sony did with the PS3. Just look at these figures and what was happening on the market with Xbox and PS2! MS did made the right move. And I think they are doing the right thing with Kinnect. It is way more interesting than Sonys Move. More of a risk, for sure.
WP7 will be the same. They made a lot of mistakes with WM 6.5. This crappy OS made be buy an iPhone, iPad and whatever. But WP7 looks really good and since it is not a copy of iOS it may be a risk, but it also shows a lot of promise.
But lately there is a little too much fabboyism here on the site. I read all of your articles and listen to every podcast, but it seems to me that only Georgia has the right balance between being a fan and being objective. And yes: I know this is tipb.com...
Of course this is a fanboy/fangirl site. The main purpose for this site's existence is to drive sales in their online store. Anyway, I've been buying Apple since 2003 -- I was a late adopter -- and I'm a little bit sad to see Apple take off into the statosphere because it COULD be just a matter of time before they suffer from stagnation.
"Apple squandered the Mac's first mover advantage," as did Sony in portable music players, and Palm in smartphones, and Microsoft in pad computers. Apple has waded into these dysfunctional markets, shown the world how to do it right, and made billions doing it.
Any Windows apologists care to dispute that?
@ Art VanDeLick: "Another totally biased post from Rene Jobs."
Well, what do you expect? This is "The iPhone Blog." If you want to lick some pro-Windows blogger ballz, head on over to Windows Supersite. Make us all proud and run along now.
@ Art VanDeLick: "John, just keep an eye on the sales of new products such as Kinect next week"
LOL. Just L. O. L.
Maybe Kinect can help recoup just a teensy weensy little fraction of the billions of U.S. dollars Microsoft has lost on Xbox and Xbox 360. Sure, the Xbox gaming division made a profit of $382 million last quarter. But Xbox, all by itself, lost Microsoft $4 billion over its lifetime from 2001 to 2006. And the Xbox 360's world-renowned Red Ring of Death (Google that and "General Hardware Failure," Art, for full details) has cost Microsoft billions more ever since.
For an even deeper insight into how little Xbox gaming has helped Microsoft, look at Online Services. That division lost $560 million last quarter. Completely wiping out the tiny $382 million profit that the Xbox gaming division earned.
Nintendo doesn't think Microsoft is a threat any more. They consider Apple their #1 threat. Maybe Nintendo already knows much more about Kinect than you do.
Thanks parabel!
Jimi don't be so quick to judge others, I was pointing out an error in the story which has now been corrected.
@Jimi Didnt i go to school too?, ass hole
I'm a fan of both Apple & Microsoft . I come here to read articles that are informative and give useful information without licking Jobs nuts every two minutes.
I suggest you keep your lips attached to Renes left cheek and don't worry about what I say, since your obviously blinded by the moon ;) :twisted:
Nintendo sees apple as number one threat when it comes to HANDHELD gaming. And since MS doesn't really have a competitive product to match DS or PSP , that's the reason Nintendo doesn't see them as a big threat. Kinect is not portable ;)
Itd be nice if you has some valid arguments and a bit of knowledge , instead of just posting to be cool :roll:
And this is how strong the 1Q of 2011 Fiscal year started for MS/360
My own preference is MS but I own an iphone4 (iph3, iph3G and iPot previously) only because of jailbreaking if that wasn't around I wouldn't have one.
Also I prefer Windows7 to OSX but I grew up with Windows, but using OSX in college I still don't like it I miss the little things windows do like a button to maximise a window, but all to there own I love my iPhone and love my PC.
oh and I love my 360 I'm a gamer at heart.
Did SockRolid just admit to licking Rene's balls?
He sure did & He's proud of it :lol:

New iPad to hit China on Friday, July 20
Apple announced today that the new iPad will launch in China this month -- more precisely on Friday, July 20, 2012. While manufactured in China, it's taken Apple four months longer to get their third generation tablet into the Chinese market.
Apple products are popular enough the gray market trade quickly fills any gaps in Apple's release or distribution schedule. Despite the hurdles, China remains one of Apple's largest, and still fastest growing markets. Increasingly, Apple is recording substantial portions of their revenue beyond U.S. borders.
Full press release below.
New iPad Arrives in China on Friday, July 20
CUPERTINO, California―July 10, 2012―Apple® today announced the new iPad®, the third generation of its category defining mobile device, will arrive in China on Friday, July 20. The new iPad features a stunning new Retina™ display, Apple's new A5X chip with quad-core graphics and a 5 megapixel iSight® camera with advanced optics for capturing amazing photos and 1080p HD video. The new iPad still delivers the same all-day 10 hour battery life* while remaining amazingly thin and light.
The new iPad Wi-Fi models will be available in black or white for a suggested retail price of $499 (US) for the 16GB model, $599 (US) for the 32GB model and $699 (US) for the 64GB model. The iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular models will be available for a suggested retail price of $629 (US) for the 16GB model, $729 (US) for the 32GB model and $829 (US) for the 64GB model. In China the new iPad will be available through the Apple Online Store (www.apple.com), select Apple Authorized Resellers and by reservation from Apple retail stores. Reservation requests will be accepted daily from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. beginning Thursday, July 19 for pick up the following day. Additionally, iPad 2 is available at a more affordable price starting at just $399 (US).
*Battery life depends on device settings, usage and other factors. Actual results vary.

Tangentially related, because it directly impacts Apple's China aspirations, if not broader, is Shanghai Zhizhen's suit <a href="http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/Apple-Sued-for-Siri-Patent-... Siri violates their 2005 patent for "a type of instant messaging chat robot system" they use in their devices. A skimming suggests the patent is one of those-overbroad-and-should-not-have-been-granted-types, but it was in fact granted, and certainly does not seem any more absurd than Apple's slide-to-unlock or data-tapping patents. Should the Chinese court uphold this claim, and Apple be unable to pay Zhizhen off, Apple could be staring down the same sort of gun barrel they point at Samsung and HTC.
Zhizhen offered mediation back in May, and only sued when Apple did not respond, so it seems far more likely they are looking for a licensing deal than to shut Apple down completely, but this sort of impossible-to-avoid patent war is exactly the type of game Apple has, if not started, at least been an early, eager adopter.
Sorry for formatting - did not see limited HTML tags were taken away. Any chance of bringing them back?

This program presents a trademark mix of news, interviews, commentaries, reviews, and offbeat features. It rings with the disparate voices of its commentators, from veteran analyst Daniel Schorr and storyteller Kevin Kling to poet Andrei Codrescu. It hums with the distinctive music that threads between reports -- music collected in the online program All Songs Considered. And by the time All Things Considered marked its 30th anniversary on the air, the program had earned many of journalism's highest honors, including the Peabody, DuPont and Overseas Press Club awards.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Mike Neal's knee injury - and future - uncertain
Green Bay – Packers outside linebacker Mike Neal suffered a knee injury in the playoff loss to San Francisco on Sunday but said he would have fought to come back and play this week if Green Bay was still alive.
"I damn sure was going to try," said Neal Monday morning as the Packers cleaned out their lockers and prepared for their final meetings with coaches. "I played 16 games with a lot of stuff going on. I don't care what nobody said, limping or not I was going to try to go out there and play."
Neal said he wasn't exactly sure what was wrong with the knee; he was getting an MRI later today. He said there was no swelling.
"Just a little stiff and a little sore, but no swelling," said Neal. He also said he was not concerned it was an ACL injury. "Not at all. They said everything was intact from that standpoint. We just have to get the MRI and see what that says.
"I've dealt with a lot of injuries in my career, that one just sucked. A cut block, ain't nothin' you can do about it. Honestly, in my heart I was at peace because I played 16 games. People didn't think I could do that. I proved a lot of stuff to myself. Really in my heart I was at peace. I just hoped we could pull it out, because if we did I was going to try to play again next week."
Neal is a free agent in March but he also has other things on his mind. He is also expecting his first child – a daughter - in March.
This was a tough year of transition and learning on the job. But Neal felt that given all the changes, he has a good year, making a lot of tackles and at times still pressuing the quarterback. He said he would have liked to have had more sacks.
Neal said he hopes to return to Green Bay because he enjoyed his first four years here and living in the Midwest. He defended defensive coordinator Dom Capers. He even said he would drop even more weight if he was asked to stay at linebacker, or would gain it back if he was asked to play back at the line.
But he just wasn't sure about his future.
"I don't have no control over that," said Neal.

If the price is right and there is some form of incentive element, because of his chronic injury situation, it'd be nice to get back Neal. He had a lot of great moments this year, and still has upside.
Cut your losses pack. Another guy that never was except for the hype.
The coaches have been very comlimentary about Neal's efforts this year to make the transition to OLB and I would like to see him come back for the future. He's a strong guy and I think there is a role for him on this team. I doubt the management will let him slip away.
I like Neal as a player. His situation could be influenced by what they do at defensive coordinator, especially if they fire Capers.Hide replies
I thought the kid played OK but his locker room remark I got more important thinks in my life. Ok Mike
Seems like OLB is his natural position. So looking from the point of view of a rookie, he didn't do half bad.
Oh and if you think Capers is getting fired... I doubt it. Not after yesterday's game.Hide replies
I agree. Capers isn't going anywhere. The defensive effort yesterday was good enough to win that game, especially considering all of our players who were already down or went down during the game. Capers deserves another season with all our guys back from the DL to see what we have when playig with a "full deck".
why does he deserve another full season? becasue of one decent effort?
That wasn't the only good effort our "D" put in this season.
who claims yesterday's game was a good effort? it was noticeably better than more recent outings but good? Come on. We lost at home. Kaep had a terrible passing effort and they still won.
He deserves one for the same reason we are going to give YOU one more, BigRAY.
Why are these guys being drafted and then playing out of position or being switched.Stupid drafting or what.That we didn't draft a safety before that running back Franklin another useless pick.
That is the TT and MM arrogance that there system is so good that they can just plug and play players as they choose. After the last super bowl win, TT and MM drank the kool-aid of how good they are and this is what we've got.
Capers was given another shot after last year's SF debacle and he followed it up with an even worse season. Ranked 22 last year; 25 this year. It's an even lower ranking if you go by points allowed.
Crosby was given another chance and he achieved. Capers' defense got worse. Only cronyism will keep him employed.
MM is starting to look like Lovie Smith, fielding one-dimensional teams. Smith and the Bears' GM had years of weak offenses the way we're wasting Rodgers prime with weak defenses.
I think all the injuries figured prominently into the end results for this "D". I don't dispute your statistics, but I don't think Capers had the benefit of several players who were counted on for big roles this year.
Thank you Ship. People are clueless.
Mike Neal is nothing. He was way over drafted in the first place. Thompson drafts him in the second round and nobody else had him going before the 6th and several had him undraftable. He is playing as he is supposed to. Not very well.Hide replies
I don't know what you were reading, but Neal was a 2nd or 3rd rounder at every site I visited and book I read. You may not like him ad a player but you just pulled that stuff out of your ...
Johncolson is correct and it is or was all over the place. Neal WAS a 2nd round talent but because of injuries and other things he was down on most boards. The Packers did the same thing with the DB that they just cut, the guy wasn't even on most draft boards and we use a 4th rounder for him. The draft is tricky, but TT seems to thinks he rules the game.
Mike Neal was rated as a 2nd round player and was supposed to have a big upside.. losing 30 lbs of muscle and playing a new position this year showed me he had the drive to play in the NFL. He also performed well as a first year player at that position.
Neal is not a very good player. Then again not entirely his fault since the coaching staff had him playing out of position.Hide replies
The coaches and announcers hav opposite opinions from yours regarding Neal's play this year. Also, Neal did not object to giving the transition to OLB his best try. Why do you think you know more than the coaches and Neal himself?
Neal is also not a very bad player. He had a decent year and saved the Packers bacon. But with Datone Jones and Malumba and maybe palmer plus Perry coming back, he's probably gone.
Jones sure didn't show much this year and I am not impressed with Perry so far. Malumba was not a "core" player until all the injuries, so I think he has a lot to prove before putting him head of Neal on the depth chart. Palmer???? Not proven either. My bet is that Neal returns as the starter or #2 backup at OLB. We'll have to see......
Digger, do you see the Packers converting Jones to OLB?
Not sure why they would re-sign any of the current defensive players on the Packers roster. It's one of the worst in the NFL, they should be able to do better than that.
So Digger "decent" is now the standard for success in GB? Apparently cuz MM and DC are still here.
It would be nice to see Neal back at linebacker to have some continuity at the position. LeBeau stressed how important experience is in this system and Mike has shown he has the physical tools to play it. We have had too much turnover at the position and need to pick and stick with Neal , CM, Hawk and Malumba. Brad Jones can still be a valuable back up. Unless Capers decides to retire, he will be back.
I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did. He's not athletic, fast or quick enough to play OLB.Hide replies
With 52 and 53 hurt most of the year, Neal was somewhat of a savior. Not fair to say he can't play OLB. He just did.
Neal is worth re-signing, but at the right price. Yes, he is a bust for a 2nd rd pick, but he provides depth as an OLB and in the 3-4, that's what you need (especially since the Packers get ravaged with injuries every year).
The Packers will look at his total body of work. We all know 2010 and 2011 were disasters for Neal with injuries and his suspension. In 11 games in 2012, he did register 4.5 sacks and in 16 games, 47 tackles and 5 sacks. It sounds like he wants to stay, it just depends on how much money he wants.

I like to keep up on the biosimilar news and here's one I missed a couple days ago. Coherus and Baxter International have inked a $246 M deal for Coherus to develop an Enbrel biosimilar for Baxter to market. The front loaded deal -- by now normal -- calls for $30 M upfront payment with milestones that could total up to $210 M (God willing and the creek don't rise). Baxter will receive rights to market the drug in Europe, Canada and Brazil along with other emerging markets. Coherus has a previous deal to help Daiichi Sanyo to develop Enbrel for other Asian markets (exclusive of Japan). See Fierce Biotech.

Customer Reviews for French Doors Fabric Red / Pink Cordless
"Easy For Even Me"
By LoveMyBlinds from Park City, Utah
I am not a handy person, but even I was able to put this up in a few minutes. Well constructed and the exact color I had hoped for. Could not be happy and will be ordering more for other windows in my home.View this product
By customer from OK
It's just what I wanted. Fabric edges I am hoping won't fray - it seems that could be an issue. Good price and fast service, minus our local fedex driver delivering it to the wrong address and stating it had been delivered correctly.View this product

Mineral Wells Index
— Teddie Frances Ashby, 92, of Mineral Wells passed away on August 10, 2013.
She was born in Newport, Texas on February 24, 1921; the daughter of Jesse and Eula (Ezell) Haning.
Teddie attended Adams Business College here in Mineral Wells and, with her training, she helped her husband in his plumbing business.
She was a true example of someone being selfless. She gave care to her disabled child around the clock for many years and never spoke a negative word; she only had words of encouragement. Up until she passed, she was giving things away to people who were less fortunate than her. And at her age, she could still play the piano, music was her hobby if you could say she had one. She was more focused on helping others than herself.
Survivors include: sons Jim and wife, Linda Ashby, of Mineral Wells, and Walter and wife, Gail Ashby, of McKinney; daughter Mary and husband, Wayne Livingston, of Wills Point; eight grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; brother, James Haning, of Borger; and numerous family and friends.
Visitation is 10-11 a.m. Friday before the service; Aug. 16, at the funeral home. Service will follow in the chapel, burial will be at Woodland Park Cemetery.
