While this dragnet will affect only a small number of the four million British citizens who fly to America each year, it is nevertheless an ominous intrusion into personal privacy. Security services will always want access to as much information about individuals as possible. That is the nature of the beast. It is up to politicians to rein them in. In this instance, the politicians have failed us. But it is no surprise that the Labour Government has endorsed these measures (which have been divulged only because of a Freedom of Information request). For Tony Blair has used the terrorist threat as the excuse for an unparalleled assault on individual freedom in this country, from ID cards to a national DNA database, from biometric recognition to the proliferation of CCTV cameras. Why should he care if our closest ally joins the fun?

|[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-1145) Too many ORBs (or possibly not enough)
|Mon, 17 Jul 2006 12:22:14 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1145?page=comments#action_12421600 ] Rick McGuire commented on GERONIMO-1145: ---------------------------------------- I'm sorry, I misread your ealier comment. I thought you were saying that the change didn't seem to be doing anything, not that the change was missing. Yes, I believe you are correct. I'm not sure how/when that part of the fix got deleted. > Too many ORBs (or possibly not enough) > -------------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-1145 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1145 > Project: Geronimo > Issue Type: Bug > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Components: OpenEJB > Affects Versions: 1.0-M5 > Environment: All > Reporter: Rick McGuire > Assigned To: David Jencks > Fix For: 1.0 > > Attachments: orb.patch > > > This is sort of complicated problem to describe, but there is a problem with the wrong ORB getting used with remote references passed in with a request. In the current architecture, when a CORBA bean is started, it calls Util.setORB() to register itself as the server ORB. Util.setORB() ignores all registration calls after the first. so the first CORBABean started in the server will determine the ORB instance returned by all context.lookup("java:comp/ORB") calls in the server. This value is set in StandardServant using: > // create ReadOnlyContext > Map componentContext = new HashMap(2); > componentContext.put("ORB", Util.getORB()); > componentContext.put("HandleDelegate", new CORBAHandleDelegate()); > try { > enc = new SimpleReadOnlyContext(componentContext); > } catch (NamingException e) { > throw new RuntimeException(e); > } > which uses the ORB object returned from Util.getORB(). This ORB value is used for a lot during request processing, particularly when accessing information from remote references passed to this EBJ. If there are multiple CORBA beans configured for the server, this can create connection problems when the beans are configured with different TSSConfigs. In the case we ran into, an ORB instance configured for non-secure transports was trying to (correctly) use an SSL connection to perform an operation. The connection failed in this case because the ORB did not have the correct transport-level security configuration needed to make the connection. > The appropriate solution would be for the StandardServant to set up the comp/ORB value to be the ORB associated with the owning POA instance (created in the TSSBean). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Sad. Even sadder 66% voted on something they obviously know nothing about, including Tim Burgess....
• a state law to limit ammunition clips on guns to 10 bullets (66% in support);

My wife & I just got this from a Seattle City Council member (Tim Burgess), and I wanted everyone in Washington state to be aware of it (maybe respond to Mr. Burgess, even if you're not a Seattle resident?).
Poll: Washington Ready for Olympia to Act on Gun Safety
Washington CeaseFire unveiled a poll of statewide voter attitudes toward gun safety laws this afternoon. The results are remarkable and show that Washington voters across the political spectrum want Olympia to pass common sense gun safety laws today.
Conducted the first week of January by Alison Peters Consulting, a firm that serves both Republican and Democratic clients, the poll of 600 registered voters revealed wide and strong support for a variety of gun safety measures, including:
a state law to require that everyone who buys a gun at a gun show undergo a background check (87% in support);
a state law to increase mandatory penalties for youth firearm possession, starting with house detention at the first offense (68% in support);
a state law to ban semi-automatic assault weapons (66% in support);
a state law to limit ammunition clips on guns to 10 bullets (66% in support);
and a state law requiring the signature of local police on every concealed weapons permit application (66% in support).
When broken down by region, Seattle residents were generally more supportive of these measures. Perhaps more surprising, though, is that each of these changes received majority support from those polled in Eastern Washington (the more conservative 4th and 5th Congressional Districts).
The fact is we are far more unified on this issue than the gun lobby would have us believe. This information should help legislators in Olympia overcome fears of any potential political backlash.
In December, the City Council amended the Citys lobbying agenda for this years state legislative session to include the following specific policy goals: a ban on all assault weapons; a ban on large capacity ammunition magazines; universal background checks, including at gun shows; trigger locks and safe storage requirements; and micro-stamping technology in all firearms sold, purchased or delivered in the state to improve the capability of police to trace fired bullets.
Washington law restrict cities from enacting their own gun safety regulations, so the City Council will continue to respectfully but persistently encourage our colleagues in the State Legislature to take action. My hope is that these survey numbers will spur other local officials across the state to do the same.

What type of poll, telephone, TV? The polls can be skewed by using selected telephone prefixes, the wording of the question, time of day, after a breaking news stories about the same or a related subject, political party, and on and on. Polls are also time sensitive, this week the gun issue because of the recent rash of shootings, next week it may not be a gun issue and might be taxes, and if the same poll were to be taken again would reflect different results.
Well I certainly hope that policy isn't made based on phone polls.
If politicians want feedback, they should go off of the calls, letters, and emails that are sent to them.
I think that opinions have more weight when they are unsolicited.

Thanks for the query. Your symptoms are typical of urticaria, if more than 6 weeks and still persisting it's chronic urticaria. It's not life threatening but very disturbing. The key factor in treatment is to find the reason for such symptomatology. If it's detectable, treatment is simple. The key is to suppress the triggers by use of anti-allergic medications for long term, like atleast 3 months and gradually taper and stop. Don't pop one after the attack, but take the anti-allergic medications daily at a fixed time. They are quite safe even for long term usage. Chronic urticaria treatment requires a lot of understanding. Test yourself for any possible vitamin deficiencies like Vitamin D and B12. Rule out any thyroid disease as well. Hope it helps.

US STOCKS-Wall St wobbles as health stocks, oil prices drop
* Oil prices fall for sixth day in a row
* Freeport, Caterpillar, DuPont drop
* McKesson, Celgene slump on weak profit forecasts
* Alcoa to kick off earnings season after close
* Indexes down: Dow 0.1 pct, S&P 0.36 pct, Nasdaq 0.63 pct (Updates to early afternoon)
By Abhiram Nandakumar
Jan 11 (Reuters) - Wall Street struggled for gains in volatile trading on Monday, weighed down by healthcare stocks and oil prices hitting fresh 12-year lows, ahead of the start of corporate earnings season.
The S&P energy sector down 2.23 percent, and materials sector, off 1.6 percent, faced the brunt of a near 6 percent slide in oil prices.
The health sector was down 1.38 percent, dragged down by Celgene and McKesson. The utilities sector's 0.65 percent gain led the four advancing S&P sectors. Continuación...

Noddy Holder will be wishing everybody a merry Christmas, Sir Cliff Richard will be warbling about mistletoe and wine, and Band Aid will inevitably ask whether "they" know it's Christmas time at all.
Now MPs Stephen Pound and Colin Breed are calling for a ban on Muzak until four weeks before the festive season.
They describe it as "a mechanism for emptying people's wallets" and are holding it responsible for corroding the religious festival's influence.
A spokesman for Selfridges defended the store's early decision to open its Christmas Hall with piped music, saying: "We wouldn't have it open if people didn't want to shop in it. We are a business after all."
Woolworth's, another culprit, said: "Our customers tell us they like it and so do our staff."

My wife was rear-ended while driving home from work. The vehicle was towed and in the repair shop for about a week while she used a rental. She was taken to the hospital via ambulance and received an MRI after the accident.
She was diagnosed with whiplash and prescribed pain medication and muscle relaxers. She also saw a chiropractor for her neck pain for about 2 months. She missed a day of work as a teacher and struggled to teach her kids while in pain. After her accident and throughout her therapy, she was in constant pain.
Her hospital bills totaled around $9,000.00 and her chiropractor bill was about $900.00. What amount should we consider when negotiating a settlement? Thank you.

Do not rely upon the information in our response, or anywhere else on this site, when deciding the proper course of a legal matter. Always get a personalized case review from a local attorney.
Dear John,
If your wife is represented by an attorney she should heed his or her advice and counsel. If not, there is a traditional manner of computing car injury settlements. Although simplified, many attorneys will take the entire amount of medical and chiropractic bills and multiply them by anywhere from 1 to 2x, 3x, 4x or higher.
The multiple depends on the type and severity of injuries. In your wife's case, her injuries would be considered "soft tissue." Soft tissue injuries are generally not considered serious by insurance company standards.
You wife might consider asking for 3 times the total of her medical and chiropractic bills, or approximately $27,000 dollars. It's unlikely she'll be offered close to that amount. It is though, a reasonable place to begin negotiations.
Generally for a whiplash injury, a multiple of 2x medicals would be considered reasonable. As a result, your wife probably doesn't want to settle for less than approximately $18,000. She should try and settle for any amount higher than that, and certainly not any less.
The above is general information. Laws change frequently, and across jurisdictions. You should get a personalized case evaluation from a licensed attorney. Find a local attorney to give you a free case review here , or call (888) 647-2490.
Best of luck,

Lovely White Flowers - Poem by Constantine P. Cavafy
He went inside the cafe where they used to sit together.
It was here, three months ago, that his friend told him:
'We're completely broke -so hard up, the two of us,
that we're stuck with the cheapest places.
I can't go around with you any more -it's no use hiding the fact.
I've got to tell you, somebody else is after me.'
The 'somebody else' had promised him two suits, some silk handkerchiefs.
He himself, to get his friend back,
went through hell rounding up twenty pounds.
His friend came back to him for the twenty pounds-
but along with that, for their old intimacy,
their old love, for the deep feeling between them.
The 'somebody else' was a liar, a real bum:
he'd ordered only one suit for his friend,
and that under pressure, after much begging.
But now he doesn't want the suits any longer,
he doesn't want the silk handkerchiefs at all,
or twenty pounds, or twenty piastres even.
Sunday they buried him, at ten in the morning.
Sunday they buried him, almost a week ago.
He laid flowers on his cheap coffin,
lovely white flowers, very much in keeping
with his beauty, his twenty-two years.
When he went to the cafe that evening
he happened to have some vital business there
to that same cafe where they used to go together,

What happens when the middle class loses ground?
Pundits whine. Politicians rant and rave. Bashing the rich becomes more popular. Resentment rises. Envy increases. And so do tax rates.
The rich cease being objects of admiration. They become "filthy." Roger Cohen, writing in the International Herald Tribune, bemoans the fact that while the "filthy" rich get even richer, "fabulous wealth creation has been unmatched by improved education. Teaching that will get you recognised in a global world is denied minority kids in failing schools."
We don't know what that means…maybe he means that people who teach minority students are dumbbells. And maybe they are. And maybe he thinks paying them more money will make them smarter.
Poor Mr Cohen. He has so much faith in the rich! He thinks they can do anything. Hedge fund managers expertly exploited this go-go credit bubble market; now they can do something about public education!
"Hedge fundocrats…should consider ways to pile money into ending this national failure." What faith he has…in people with money…and in money itself. Pile it on. Push it in. Stack it up. Is there any problem more money can't solve? Money has been pouring into "education" for the last four decades – while educational achievement levels fell. Still, Cohen thinks more money is the cure…not the problem.
Then, of course, he goes on to want to take money away from the people who have more of it. The rich get much of their money from capital gains, he complains, which are only taxes at a 15% rate, rather than the 35% top tax rate.
Expect more of this, dear reader. Brace yourselves.

Royal Gelee Skin Balm – For a healthy, youthful fresh-looking skin.
Unfortunately we are sold out at present, please contact Customer Support
Does your skin look dull and lifeless? Do you lack moisture and radiance?
Transform the skin on your entire body with a revolutionary skin cream that contains Royal Jelly – nature's ultimate nourishing substance.
The secret of Royal Gelee Skin Balm's "rejuvenating" power is its nourishing substances:
- Royal Gelee Skin Balm contains all the nutrient-rich substances of Royal Jelly that will give your skin a healthy, youthful and fresh look again
- B-vitamins: Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is responsible for your skin's regeneration. It improves circulation to the cells, stimulates the creation of new cells and rejuvenates tissue.
- Proteins and amino acids promote cell growth and restore the skin's natural elasticity
- Trace elements and minerals strengthen the cell walls and protect against damage caused by UV radiation
- Vitamins D, E and K stimulate circulation, are important for cell protection and provide your skin with a fresh, smooth look
As you age, your skin's cell renewal process becomes less efficient. Tissue repair and cell regeneration slow down, collagen production decreases and the amount of natural moisture in the skin reduces. Your skin becomes thinner and loses its flexibility.
The good news is that today, you have the opportunity to try out a premium skin cream from Switzerland that will nourish and revitalise your skin beyond your wildest expectations. This unique cream, called Royal Gelee Skin Balm, is formulated with Royal Jelly – one of nature's most nourishing substances that is proven to regenerate skin cells and increase collagen production, giving you a smoother, younger-looking, radiant skin.
What is Royal Jelly?
Royal jelly is a milky secretion produced by the humble worker honey bees. The word "royal" is appropriate, since only the larvae destined to become queen bees have the privilege to be nourished with this luxurious substance. It is power-packed with antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and proteins, which explains why the queen can reach the age of 5 to 6 years, where the worker bees only live for 4 to 6 weeks. If it can do this for a queen bee, imagine what it can do for your skin!
Royal Gelee Skin Balm; protection and strength for radiantly beautiful, healthy skin
With advancing age your skin becomes increasingly dry, causing it to lose elasticity. The visible effect is the appearance of wrinkles. What your skin needs is a cream that will put back the moisture and strengthen it with nutrients.
Royal Gelee Skin Balm contains all the beneficial factors of Royal Jelly. Factors that have been proven to increase the moisture content and collagen production in skin cells, while stimulating the regeneration and development of new cells.
This superb, luxurious cream provides your skin with valuable natural fats and moisture, which are quickly absorbed to protect your skin against drying out. The skin on your entire body will soon regain its elasticity and firmness and will look noticeably smoother and rejuvenated.
REMEMBER:Your skin renews itself in a 30-day cycle. So it is recommended that you use Royal Gelee Skin Balm consistently. After 30 days you will notice a significant difference. Your skin will be softer and smoother and you will have a new radiant, healthy glow.

New Delhi, Oct. 26 (ANI): BEIJING - The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) has said in its Report on National Competitiveness of China that the country will emerge as the world's most powerful nation by the year 2050.
The CASS said the United States would continue to be the most powerful nation at point of time.
According to Xinhua, it also said that Beijing would strive to be among the top five most competitive countries of the Group of 20 nations by 2020.
Ni Pengfei, director of the Research Center for City and Competitiveness under the CASS, was quoted as saying: "We need to foster new growth areas in a bid to prevent unsustainable development caused by the extensive economic growth pattern."
The country has remained among the top five powerful nations with regard to economic growth since 1992 and is expected to overtake the United States to become the world's largest economy by 2030, the report said.
According to data for the first half of this year, China has eclipsed Japan to become the world's second-biggest economy after three decades of blistering growth.
China ranked 17th in national competitiveness among 100 countries in 2008, a jump of 56 places from its previous listing in 1990, the report said. (ANI)

If you're familiar with Kanye West's song 'Famous', you'll know it was a lyric about Taylor Swift in it. And Taylor apparently isn't happy.
The lyric – 'I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. I made that bitch famous' – has close connotations with Kanye's infamous interruption of Taylor Swift's 2009 VMA win.
Now, T Swifty has previously stated that she never approved of the lyric and isn't happy about Kanye's line, calling it 'misogynistic'. But Kim Kardashian (Kanye's wife and trusty sidekick) has released a video that has shut that claim down, Vanity Fair reports.
Wait it's legit National Snake Day?!?!?They have holidays for everybody, I mean everything these days! ?????????????????????????????????????
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) July 17, 2016
Last month, Kimmy K told GQ that she had the footage in her possession, and on Sunday night she posted the recorded conversation on Snapchat.
The video shows Kanye rapping the line 'I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex,' to Swift, and saying: "I think this is a really cool thing to have."
After Swift admits she's 'this close to overexposure', she says: "I know, it's like a compliment, kind of. Yeah, I mean, what's dope about the line is it's very tongue in cheek either way. And I really appreciate you telling me about it, that's really nice."
Here's a snippet of how the rest of the conversation went, as E! News reports:
Taylor Swift: And then the flowers that you sent me, I like Instagrammed a picture of them and it's like the most Instagram likes I've ever gotten. It was like 2.7
Kanye West: Relationships are more important than punch lines, ya know?
Taylor Swift: I don't think anyone would listen to that and be like that's a real diss she must be crying.
Taylor Swift: And you know, if people ask me about it I think it would be great for me to be like, 'Look, he called me and told me the line before it came out. Jokes on you guys, We're fine.' You guys want to call this a feud; you want to call this throwing shade but right after the song comes out I'm going to be on a Grammys red carpet and they're going to ask me about it and I'll be like, 'He called me.' It's awesome that you're so outspoken about this and be like, 'Yeah, she does. It made her famous.' Its more provocative to say 'might still have sex…' It's doesn't matter to me. There's not like one [line] that hurts my feelings and one that doesn't.
Naturally, most fans completely lost it and reacted to the video on social media:
LMFAOOOO #KimExposedTaylorParty pic.twitter.com/rYhiMjKgJN
— Leonardo (@KingMiller_) July 18, 2016
Taylor: kanye didn't tell me anything about it
Kim: #KimExposedTaylorParty pic.twitter.com/D1DwbTxKQY
— soph (@sophiramirex) July 18, 2016
"What do you have to say to Kim's latest snapchats about you?"
Taylor: pic.twitter.com/5dIzsGYJyA
—  (@tenbands) July 18, 2016
And so did Taylor Swift:
But after West played the album for the first time in Madison Square Garden in February, a spokesperson for Swift said: "Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his "Famous" on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, 'I made that bitch famous.'"
According to Kim, the phone call was filmed because Kanye 'commissions videographers to film everything when he's recording an album, for posterity' (and probably a future documentary She added that Swift 'totally gave the okay,' and record producer Rick Rubin was there to prove it, but when Swift learned the call had been filmed, she sent an attorney's letter saying the footage had to be destroyed.
Kim Kardashian is officially the Cersei Lannister of social media.

Celebrity Big Brother lovebirds Jeremy McConnell and Stephanie Davis have been split up, as the Irish model has been evicted from the show.
McConnell received the fewest votes from the public, and was informed that he would be leaving the house via a call on a red telephone box in the garden.
Davis clung to McConnell's neck and repeatedly shouted "no" as he attempted to make his exit. Before heading up the stairs to leave the house, he gave Stephanie his necklace while she shouted that she loves him.
McConnell was quizzed heavily by host Emma Willis after his departure, particularly about his relationship with Stephanie Davis – who entered the house with a boyfriend, Sam Reece, on the outside.
"I just followed my heart, I just went with it," he admitted, taking his share of responsibility for his romance with the ex-Hollyoaks actress by saying: "It obviously takes two to tango".
Confronted with footage of the pair's time together, McConnell was initially speechless.
"That looks, yeah… It's obviously… Look, it is what it is, I can't really elaborate on that. That's what we felt for each other."

Australian landscape photographer Alex Bond hand prints his fibre based silver gelatin prints. Using a wooden field camera and sheet film, Alex Bond continues his traditional darkroom practice.
"I go for long walks in the bush or along the coast with my wooden field camera, taking a few sheets of film, a tripod and sometimes a tent and food. I like to take my time to absorb the environment, to rediscover and to reconnect.
My direct involvement with the materials and technique for making an expressive photographic print is of importance to me. I continue my darkroom practice, developing my colour and black and white films and hand printing all my black and white silver gelatin prints. Sharing these rare film and darkroom skills in small workshop groups has made me appreciate even more how important the principles of knowing your materials are in a world dominated by digital technology."
Since 1989 his colour work has been published under his imprint Stormlight Publishing. Providing freelance photography and stock images for magazines and books, Alex has also photographed and produced specialised publications for Stormlight Publishing. These have included award winning cards, calendars, posters and books. His style has been crafted over two decades of large format film photography and his passion for hiking and the outdoors.

International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM) is having an indifferent time this year. The stock is down around 2% in 2014, as the company has failed to impress the Street with its revenue numbers. Its first-quarter results were no different, with IBM reporting a year-over-year decline of 4% in revenue and 15% in earnings. IBM is feeling the pain of a transition in its business. As the IBM CEO pointed out after the last earnings report:
In the first quarter, we continued to take actions to transform part of the business and to shift aggressively to our strategic growth areas including cloud, big data analytics, social, mobile and security.
So, will IBM be able to turn around the business in the near future, and is it a good buy at its current valuation? Let's check.
Transition in progress
IBM is shifting its business model to focus on crucial growth areas, and transforming parts of its business. It recently announced an investment of $1.2 billion to expand its SoftLayer cloud hubs globally. IBM also introduced BlueMix, which is a new platform-as-a-service, in order to speed up deployment of its hybrid clouds.
Moreover, IBM acquired Aspera and Cloudant to extend its capabilities in Big Data and cloud. It's expanding its portfolio across OpenPOWER. Also, it has created an integrated business unit and announced an investment of $1 billion for bringing cognitive capabilities to the enterprise.
IBM is moving into growth areas, and is divesting businesses that no longer fit its strategic profile. In January, the software giant divested its customer care BPO business, and announced the sale of its industry standard server business to its partner, Lenovo. IBM also took a substantial charge to align its resources and skills to customers' demand profile. Many of these actions might impact its top and bottom lines in the short term, but are expected to reap long-term benefits.
This is the reason behind the decline in revenue and earnings, but the company expects to set this trend right going forward.
Beyond the short-term pain
IBM is seeing robust demand and impressive results in areas like mobile, cloud, and security, areas where it has started targeting its investments. It has expanded its cloud offerings, leading to an increase in the number of large outsourcing contracts signed last year, along with a strong performance in both consulting and systems integration. IBM is repositioning and promoting OpenPOWER, and has implemented actions across the power and storage segments to right-size the business according to the market's needs.
IBM, with its SoftLayer platform of Global Technology Services, provides a highly differentiated solution for clients looking to deploy solutions across public, private, or hybrid clouds, unified on one platform. It has seen good growth in enterprise transformation projects, and the introduction of BlueMix has proved to be quite popular among application developers.
IBM is seeing constant growth across cloud and business analytics, and has delivered excellent progress in projects for clients on systems of engagement and helping them connect new front-end capabilities to their back-end systems and processes.
Hence, it is no surprise that IDC ranked IBM the number one in Overall Business Consulting and Cloud Professional Services. Forrester rated IBM as the number one in Mobility Consulting Services, which is a good indication of its success in front-office transformations. The company is continuing to invest strategically, and had committed $100 million in March to expand its consulting services capability with 10 new IBM Interactive Labs to address client experience design and engagement.
IBM's enterprise clients are relying on its middleware solutions to transform their infrastructure, and handle their business-critical transactions delivered through a combination of on-premise and SaaS solutions.
In addition, the WebSphere brand of IBM delivered strong growth last quarter, increasing 12% year-over-year, followed by app server and mobile solutions. IBM is witnessing robust growth in MobileFirst, which is a comprehensive portfolio of mobile software and services that enables its clients to manage, integrate, and leverage mobile devices.
The software major has been building capabilities to address the mobile segment. The mobile business of IBM doubled from last year in the first quarter. In addition, its application server business also delivered robust growth for the fourth consecutive quarter. Gartner listed IBM as the market share leader in application infrastructure and middleware software for the 13th year in a row, and is believed to be nearly double the size of its closest competitor, with 30% market share.
Fundamentals and conclusion
Quite clearly, IBM is making solid progress to improve. Although the company is seeing a decline in its financials currently, it is trading at an enticing valuation. Moreover, given the positive moves made in the cloud, IBM can be a value play. Trading at a trailing P/E and a forward P/E of 12.42 and 9.18, respectively, the stock is cheap and there's earnings growth expected. Moreover, its trailing P/E is better than the industry's average of 20.27. So, IBM is indeed a value play, and investors should consider capitalizing on the stock's weakness to buy more shares.

We selected iNetTime because it is law firm specific and handles California Labor Law issues in addition to supporting make up time. It also works well in multiple offices with different time keeping styles (e.g. one office may calculate overtime daily and others may calculate overtime on a weekly basis). It is browser-based and it works with our payroll system.Mark Stanley, IT Director, Beveridge & Diamond, P.C
iNetTime offered the extreme flexibility we needed for our firm's complicated time off policies and multiple employee roles and schedules. No other software came close to understanding the unique needs of a law firm or being able to configure the rules needed to effectively manage the "what ifs" we experience on a daily basis with our professional support staff.Brenda Legg, Payroll Administrator, Burr Forman LLP

What The Hidden Camera Caught The Dogs Doing Is Stunning And Brilliant!
Never underestimate the skills of a smart dog. When you combine their intelligence with their patience, there is little they cannot do. This video shows a Siberian Husky who is determined to get the treat. The homeowners did not make it easy for him. There is no furniture to climb on and no way to jump to the clean and empty counter. Yet night after night the dog treats continued to disappear.
With much effort and some encouragement from his doggie buddy; he managed to open the drawer and enter. After a few tries he opened the upper drawer and discovered he could get climb into it from the inside and from there it was a small jump to the counter. And the treat was his. The pet owners were surprised that the dog had found a way even when they saw no way,
Dog lovers have long known about the special qualities of the Siberian Husky. This breed is active and fun loving. They are not an aggressive dog with human or other dogs. The Siberian Husky does not seem particularly possessive of even their human families.
Humans are often frustrated when trying to train the Siberian Husky. Training a Siberian Husky can be quite a challenge. These dogs are very much into their treats. Since most trainers use treats as a reward while training; the Siberian Husky is very wise and manages to find unique ways to get his own treats. This makes finding a reward to use the reward system difficult.
The Siberian Husky and their close relative the Alaskan Malamutes are trained to pull dog sleds in the frozen climate of Alaska. These dogs are efficient and thrive in the cold temperatures.
Owners of these breeds must provide much exercise. They require frequent walks and runs. These are not animals that adjust well to small living quarters. They need a lot of wide up spaces.
[fvplayer src="http://youtube.com/watch?v=InzKB2l4YBc"]
The Siberian Husky self-cleans and sheds annually in the Spring. They are a clean and easy to care for the breed and as we saw in the video very intelligent. When it comes to the work of a great dog for those who live in the Alaskan region; Siberian Husky is the dog of choice.

One of the many perplexing aspects of the scandals that have torn apart some of Britain's biggest banks is why so few of the chairmen, top executives and non-executive directors didn't see the problems coming. Or, if they did, why they were either unable or unwilling to stop them, or at least flash up some warning signals.
Did Fred "the Shred" Goodwin really run RBS so much like the Kremlin that no one on his board dared challenge his strategy? Was Bob Diamond so venerated as Superman for his bold efforts to build Britain's only serious investment bank to the point that the board – and senior executives – turned a blind eye to his faults?
Self-interest is clearly one of the answers. By going along with Goodwin and Diamond, their colleagues were party to the eye-watering incentives and bonuses that flowed from the aggressive strategies of their bosses.
It may seem a little late to be asking how HSBC and Lloyds allowed such disasters as the mis-selling of payment protection insurance, interest-rate swaps or Libor manipulation nearly four years on from the crash. Even most bankers, as well as the public, will shrug their shoulders and say, well; it's the greed, stupid. But it's not a good enough analysis.
Unless we dig a little deeper and discover precisely how some of the our most prestigious institutions were hijacked by such immensely powerful characters, similar scandals will continue. Edmund Burke's warning that those who don't know their history are destined to repeat it is all the more pertinent today. His words came to mind when watching Antony Jenkins, the Barclays chief executive, tell MPs last week that he had disagreed with Diamond, his former boss, over strategy and that they had had many "debates" over business practices. It sounded lame, and begged the question as to whether Jenkins had passed on his fears.
If he did, it would be interesting to find out to whom. As we now know, the Financial Services Authority and the Bank of England also had serious reservations about Diamond's appointment as chief executive because of the aggressive way in which Barclays Capital was being run.
So you have to ask whether the corporate structure at Barclays, and maybe many of the UK's top companies, are fit for purpose if senior directors and regulators, aren't getting their messages through to the board or investors. The same questions should be asked of RBS's top executives and non-executives (NEDs) – heavyweights such as Sir Tom McKillop, Peter Sutherland and Steve Robson, a former permanent secretary.
None of them have been held accountable; yet John Hourican, the head of RBS's investment bank, has been sacrificed over the Libor scandal even though he wasn't there at the time most of the manipulation was being carried out. Something looks horribly wrong.
It's time for more research into the governance of British boards, particularly the relationship between the executive and the part-time non-executives, how risk is evaluated and, in the jargon, how to avoid "groupthink". It may well be that our model is broken; more suited to the 19th century than the 21st, where the risks for big multinationals have become so complex that NEDs are no longer capable of being heard.
Risk is something John Hurrell, the chief executive of Airmic, understands. Mr Hurrell represents risk managers at about 500 of the UK's biggest companies. He commissioned research last year from the Cass Business School to investigate the causes of some of the world's most awful corporate catastrophes such as those at AIG, Northern Rock, Shell, BP's Deepwater Horizon and Railtrack. What he, and his members, wanted to know is if there were any common underlying causes.
Even Mr Hurrell was shocked at the report's findings, which showed there were seven causes highlighted in 17 of the 18 case studies, and 22 of the 23 companies involved. All these factors were directly related to the failure of company boards to access and act upon information that was already in their sphere of knowledge.
In most cases, the Roads to Ruin study concluded that if the information had got through to the top executives, those catastrophes could have been either avoided or mitigated. That's more than coincidence. He calls them risk "glass ceilings", and what the research showed most vividly was the inability of internal audit teams to report back on the risks which had originated from the highest levels of their organisation's hierarchy. It also revealed many other limitations on the competencies of most boards, and the inability of the NEDs, to monitor and, if necessary, control the executives.
Being a non-executive is already a hellish role at the best of times; part Mother Teresa, part policeman, part judge. It may be that the plural life of most NEDs, who often spend only a couple of days a month at any one company, is outdated.
Instead, perhaps, boards should be looking to recruit "independent" directors who have only two or three other outside interest. Coupled with more training, this might make them tougher and able to put the company interest, in its widest sense, above self-interest.
There are all sorts of other things that need looking at: who heads remuneration committees, whether there need to be better mechanisms for executives below board level to flag up concerns or easier whistleblowing.
What is sure is that how companies are governed needs some clever thinking and a fresh eye. It's a pity that Justin Welby has just become Archbishop of Canterbury, as he would be perfectly suited to head such a brain-storming. Maybe he knows someone who can help out.

It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Water Pump to fix your automobile. Volvo car, truck, or SUV owners have become used to a certain level of sporty handling when driving their S90 around town. While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Volvo vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to fix your automobile. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles these days.
Your Volvo S90 has a water-cooled motor, and if there were a heart in that motor it would be the water pump. It rotates in-sync with the crankshaft via a belt that connects pulleys on each part. Along with the thermostat, coolant hoses, and radiator core, your Volvo S90 water pump dependably promulgates the water and ethylene glycol mixture through the engine; keeping operating temperatures down below the boiling point. If it fails, then coolant will boil and your engine will be ruined.
When your Volvo needs a new replacement Water Pump, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Volvo S90 part for your needs. All the Volvo S90 Water Pump parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1998, 1997. Choose your year below to refine your search.

Doctor insights on:
Dialysis Diabetes Life Expectancy
What is the life expectancy after someone starts dialysis?
Comorbities: Dialysis keeps people with severe kidney disease from dying of kidney failure. People on dialysis will all die from diseases other than renal failure. Life expectancy is typically related to how healthy the person is other than their kidney disease. I have patients that have lived more than 25 years on dialysis. The key is limiting cardiovascular risk and following the teams instructions. ...Read more
Diabetes (Definition)
Diabetes is a disease of increased blood glucose levels. Glucose is a type of sugar that comes from the intake of food. Insulin is a type of hormone that removes the glucose from the blood and moves it into the cells to provide them with energy. There are two different types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is when the body does not make any insulin. Therefore, glucose stays inside the blood and does not move into the cells. Type 2 diabetes, which is commonly associated with obesity, is when the body is either resistant to the effects of insulin or when the body does not produce enough insulin. Increased levels of glucose in the body causes severe damage to the ...Read more

This compares to 2 year mortality of 12.3 % for in center hemodialysis. It should be emphasized that mortality after kidney transplant at 2 years is only 1.8%. Diabetes increases risk. ...Read more
Help please? How long is the life expectancy for a 40 year old type-1 diabetic doing in home dialysis?
Here are some...: On average, some 20-22% of dialyzed patients will die in a year, every year; so, it is not easy for them to live >5 years.

Life expectancy: There isnt any hard number to answer that question with. If diabetes is poorly controlled then the life expectancy is surely shortened.

The bottom line is that one should not worry about dying from type 1 diabetes. ...Read more
What would the life expectancy of peritoneal dialysis at 13% be?
Depends: Peritoneal dialysis allows patients with kidney disease to not suffer symptoms of kidney failure and to not die from their disease. The life expectancy really depends on how healthy the patient is and how compliant they are with the treatment recommendations. Most deaths of dialysis patients are cardiovascular. If the patient has a bad heart the likelihood of death increases. ...Read more

Picking Up My Heart in San Francisco/
I am VERY happy to announce that we are moving to our dream city just one month shy of my 30th birthday!
Ironically, we declined the chance to move to San Francisco less than a year ago. My husband's company had an opening to transfer. We visited. We pretended to be residents. We looked at multiple apartments and homes in and out of the city. During our weekend of research, I remember coming out of Starbucks only to have a pigeon fall and split open literally one foot away from my face.
I am not superstitious – but I cannot deny that kind of an omen.
At the time, we just bought our current home – living inside it for all of 2 weeks. Our savings were depleted. Our debt was high – furniture, extra fees, adjusted living costs, etc. The decision felt rushed. I knew it was a once in a lifetime opportunity so we mulled it over for a couple of days before deciding.
Then, we said goodbye.
I shed real tears and closed that potential chapter of my life.
Three months ago, my company had a transfer opening. I thought to myself, "Ok, we tried this before. Let it go. Your Dallas life is wonderful." Chris and I worked really hard to create our dream life here. We bought our dream home in our favorite spot in the city. We bought our dream car – after his was stolen a few months before we moved. We paid off a good chunk of our debt – after buying new furniture, fixed all my dental issues, and spent quite a bit for our puppy's knee surgery. We replenished our savings. Our life in Dallas is very comfortable. It's safe. It's calm. Most of the time, I wake up so happy that I have to work out to get all the energy out. It would be crazy to leave for a city where 70% of the residents are struggling to make ends meet.
But I couldn't shake it off.
I talked to Chris and applied. One full month goes by with no response. During this waiting game, we had no reason to be down in the dumps because our consolation prize is that we get to stay in our cushion life. In the meantime, Chris and I have started a pros and cons list. There are so many more pros to stay in Dallas, but if there is one thing I love about our partnership, it's that we have the same mindset, goal, and expectation out of life.
We don't want our life set in stone at the age of 30.
We peaked in Dallas. All our goals were realized. Now, we are to sit here and enjoy the fruits of our labor. Except, that's not our personalities at all. We always have a goal in the back of our minds. We always have things we want to accomplish, experiences we want to gain, and objectives we want to meet. We are not the type to settle down, raise kids, and continue the normal cycle of life.
Maybe moving will help us get this bohemian side out of our system and finally ready to have a baby. Maybe moving will increase that side and catapult us into the vagabond life. Maybe it will make us fall flat on our faces and run back home. Maybe we will flourish and do things outside of our scope of possibilities.

London, Feb 6: Sachin Tendulkar will return to Lord's cricket ground in July when he captains Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Rest of the World, to be led by Shane Warne in a one-day celebratory match marking the ground's 200th anniversary.
"Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne have been confirmed as captains in this year's MCC v Rest of the World match at Lord's," MCC announced on its website on Wednesday (February 5).
"Tendulkar and Warne, who are both Honorary Life Members of the Club, will lead the MCC and Rest of the World teams respectively in the Lord's Bicentenary 50-over celebratory match on Saturday 5 July," MCC added.
MCC's XI will also include former India captain and Tendulkar's ex-teammate Rahul Dravid. Club President Mike Gatting will manage the side. The Rest of the World XI will be under former South Africa skipper Shaun Pollock.
It will Tendulkar's second appearance at Lord's in such a fixture, having captained the Rest of the World side - scoring a century - in the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Match in 1998.
Tendulkar said: "It is an honour to be asked to captain MCC in such a prestigious fixture, and I am delighted to accept. Lord's is such a special place to play cricket and I am very much looking forward to help celebrate its bicentenary by taking part in this match.
"I was delighted to be presented with an MCC Honorary Life Membership in 2010, and it will be a privilege to play at the Home of Cricket once again."
Warne said: "I always enjoy playing at Lord's and as an Honorary Life Member of MCC I'm really excited about coming back. I'm sure the match will be a lot of fun and it will be a pleasure to be part of the bicentenary celebrations of the most famous cricket ground in the world."
