As a result of the economic crisis, there is a broad consensus in favor of large-scale public investment in infrastructure in the U.S., both as part of a temporary stimulus program and to promote long-term modernization of America's transportation, energy, telecom and water utility grids. But this momentary consensus masks the continuing disagreement on whether the U.S. government can legitimately promote American industries, and, if so, which industries. This is a problem for infrastructure policy, because different national infrastructures correspond to different national economic strategies. read more »
What Way for the Stimulus? Post-Industrial America vs. Neo-Industrial America
The Mobility Paradox: Investing in Human Capital Fuels Migration
China has an interesting urban development strategy. The government bypasses those areas that it considers backward and plagued by poverty and entrenched political corruption. Instead, the investment goes into those areas it presumes to be new boomtowns.
Now imagine if that Darwinian approach was used here in the United States. A report ("City Beautiful") authored by two economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia advocates pushing federal infrastructure dollars – which could soon be flowing in the hundreds of billions – not towards our tired, hard-pressed urban areas but those that have experienced the greatest extent of gentrification. read more »
Moving to Flyover Country
As the international financial crisis and the US economy have worsened, there have been various reports about more people "staying put," not moving from one part of the country to another. There is some truth in this, but the latest US Bureau of the Census estimates indicate the people are still moving, and in big numbers. read more »
Oregon's Fringes: A New Rural Alternative
Once the bastion of a thriving rural middle class, Oregon's rural communities are now barely scraping by. The state's timber industry employed 81,400 residents at its peak in 1978. At the time, the industry made up 49% of all manufacturing jobs in the state according to the Oregon Employment Department.
Since then, the recessions of the early eighties and nineties, increased land-use restriction, decreased timber supply, global competition and automation of the timber industry have devastated rural communities that relied on once-plentiful timber jobs. read more »
Postindustrial Strength Brain Drain Policy
In the discussions of the stimulus and infrastructure problem, little attention has yet been paid to addressing brain drain. Yet for many regions – particularly in the old industrial heartland – no issue could be more critical.
Perhaps the most important investment in regional human capital occurs at local schools. Enterprise looks to the secondary and post-secondary institutions within the area for labor. In this regard, it makes sense to fund better learning with local and state taxes as long as that talent remains within that geography. read more »
How To Save The Industrial Heartland
You would think an economic development official in Michigan these days would be contemplating either early retirement or seppuku. Yet the feisty Ron Kitchens, who runs Southwest Michigan First out of Kalamazoo, sounds almost giddy with the future prospects for his region.
How can that be? Where most of America sees a dysfunctional state tied down by a dismal industry, Kitchens points to the growth of jobs in his region in a host of fields, from business services to engineering and medical manufacturing. Indeed, as most Michigan communities have lost jobs this decade, the Kalamazoo region, with roughly 300,000 residents, has posted modest but consistent gains. read more »

Bailing out on the Dreamland…And Returning Home
My father, who was from eastern Kentucky, headed with millions of other Appalachian people for the "promised land" after the great depression. The promised land in that day consisted of cities such as Dayton, Detroit, Gary, and Cincinnati, out of which rose great factories that employed thousands on giant "campuses." They thrived through the vigor of this transplanted workforce – uneducated like my father but full of gumption, tenacity and work ethic. read more »
Make Sure All That Infrastructure Spending Is Well Supported
It's the new buzzword: infrastructure.
President-elect Barack Obama has promised billions in infrastructure spending as part of a public works program bigger than any since the interstate highway system was built in the 1950s. Though it was greeted with hosannas, his proposal is only tapping into a clamor for such spending that's been rising ever since Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005 and a major bridge collapsed in Minneapolis last year. With the economy now officially in recession, the rage for new brick and mortar is reaching a fever pitch.
But before we commit hundreds of billions to new construction projects, we should focus on just what kind of infrastructure investment we should – and shouldn't – be making. read more »
How About a Rural Stimulus?
In Pennsylvania, public and private funds mainly are directed into areas where people live and where people vote. As a result urban Pennsylvania has significant advantages over rural communities in securing public funds and private investment. read more »

Auto Bailout: Help Mississippi, Not Michigan
We should be getting used to the depressing spectacle of once-great corporations begging for assistance from Washington. Yet perhaps nothing is more painful than to see General Motors and other big U.S.-based car companies – once exemplars of both American economic supremacy and middle-class aspirations – fall to such an appalling state.
Yet if GM represents all that is bad about the American economy, particularly manufacturing, it does not represent the breadth of our industrial landscape. Indeed, even as the dull-witted leviathan sinks, many nimble companies have shown remarkable resiliency. read more »

In Shame-Less Lives, Grace-Full Congregations, author Karen McClintock invites readers to become shame-less, so they can assist others in a congregational system to find a life of joy and grace. McClintock explores shame as a theological and psychological emotion, defining it as "a feeling of unworthiness in the sight of God or significant others." While guilt says, "I made a mistake," shame says,"I am a mistake," she explains. With skilled storytelling and gentle humor, McClintock takes readers on a journey in which we learn to recognize the many forms shame takes and explore and heal the shame of our own upbringing, particularly the shame-laden messages within our own religious teachings and practices. She illustrates the ways shame-laden leaders interact with congregations and ways congregational shame influences clergy and laity within the system. She shows us how to recognize shame in the behavior of other leaders and clergy around us, to reduce shame-reinforcing theology, and to provide alternative messages of hope and healing. She also guides us in liberating others from their shame, be they friends, colleagues, or people in a congregation where we worship and serve. McClintock advises readers that eradicating shame may take a few weeks, months, years, or a lifetime. This book is not written so that we can be free of all shame. It is written so we can become shame-less by acknowledging old patterns and consciously changing them, because shame-less leaders create shame-less congregations.

Washington, April 7 (ANI): Archaeologists have uncovered new clues about a prehistoric society that formed the foundation of urban life in the Middle East prior to invention of the wheel.
The mound of Tell Zeidan in the Euphrates River Valley near Raqqa, Syria, which had not been built upon or excavated for 6,000 years, is revealing a society rich in trade, copper metallurgy and pottery production.
Artifacts recently found there are providing more support for the view that Tell Zeidan was among the first societies in the Middle East to develop social classes according to power and wealth.
Tell Zeidan dates from between 6000 and 4000 B.C., and immediately preceded the world's first urban civilizations in the ancient Middle East.
It is one of the largest sites of the Ubaid culture in northern Mesopotamia.
Thus far, the team of archaeologists from the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute, along with a team of Syrian colleagues, have unearthed evidence of this society's trade in obsidian and production and development of copper processing, as well as the existence of a social elite that used stone seals to mark ownership of goods and culturally significant items.
"The project addresses questions not only of how such societies emerged but how they were sustained and flourished," said John Yellen, program director for archaeology in the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences directorate. NSF supports the University of Chicago's research.
Covering about 31 acres, Tell Zeidan was situated where the Balikh River joins the Euphrates River in modern-day Syria. The location was at the crossroads of major, ancient trade routes in Mesopotamia that followed the course of the Euphrates River valley. The Ubaid period lasted from about 5300 to 4000 B.C.
Gil Stein, director of the Oriental Institute and a leader of the expedition," said: "This enigmatic period saw the first development of widespread irrigation, agriculture, centralized temples, powerful political leaders and the first emergence of social inequality as communities became divided into wealthy elites and poorer commoners."

Great place! A little bit out of the old town, but easily reachable by bus (also alright to walk, maybe around 15-20 minutes), and the view totally make it up for it. Staff is very helpful and the facilities are very truthful to the description. Very good value for money in Dubrovnik, would definitely stay there again.

The apartments are located at the top of the residential area and offer a breathtaking view of the coastline and bays. Its a short walk down the hill to old town which is perfect for sightseeing. The common kitchen and loungeroom is perfect for a night in. Also, the hosts were incredibly friendly.

06 Sep "Damn love to Malle" with Maximilian Diehle
On Tuesday, 09.13.2016, 20:15 am, in SAT.1 you see our Max in a very funny role in the romantic comedy "Damn love to Malle". Other models are: Stephan Luca, Valerie Niehaus, Uwe Ochsenknecht…
Directed by Ulli Baumann
"Damn love to Malle" (Sat 1) is entitled despite a remarkable romantic comedy about a teacher who succumbs to the charms of crooner Gregory as part of a school trip to Majorca. Valerie Niehaus and Stephan Luca are a friendly couple who also acoustically adds highlights are different vocal duets. One way or another student figure is a bit clichéd, but that has method: Gregor keeps the young people for "cultural Zombies", which are fixed on her high school and urgently should time off with enthusiasm. They do then, including some crashes. The Comedy experienced Ulli Baumann preserves the film skillfully from the same fate.

You'd be hard pressed to find a Star Wars fan who doesn't think the lightsaber is the coolest weapon in all of science fiction. The Empire Saber Guild is all about combining lightsaber performance with costuming. The group is recognized by Lucasfilm and, like the 501st and Rebel Legions, they're not-for-profit. They perform around the world at conventions, sporting events, and even official Star Wars events. Yes, it's awesome.
One of the especially cool parts is that they welcome new members to come in and train with a lightsaber in their New York location. They ask for a donation for the two hour session. I need to put this on my list for the next time I visit the city.
See more photos and a video of the group in action after the break.
Thanks for the heads-up, Rubin! Send your tips to firstname.lastname@example.com.

|[PATCH] Good Fix for Encoding Issue :)
|Sun, 25 Mar 2001 21:59:16 GMT
ALL RIGHT!!! I GOT IT!!! It turns out this has nothing to do with the default encoding on the system. I finally figured out that it was ISO-8859-1 for me anyway, not UTF-8, which pretty much closed off that area of research. I traced the encoding back far enough until I noticed that Xerces was being left in charge of it. The default we are looking for isnt the system default, but the Xerces OutputFormat default. This is where the solution lies: Index: src/org/apache/cocoon/formatter/AbstractFormatter.java =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvspublic/xml-cocoon/src/org/apache/cocoon/formatter/AbstractFormatter .java,v retrieving revision 1.5 diff -u -r1.5 AbstractFormatter.java --- src/org/apache/cocoon/formatter/AbstractFormatter.java 2001/03/07 22:32:16 1.5 +++ src/org/apache/cocoon/formatter/AbstractFormatter.java 2001/03/25 21:57:15 @@ -88,6 +88,8 @@ encoding = (String) conf.get("encoding"); if (encoding != null) { format.setEncoding(encoding); + } else { + encoding = format.getEncoding(); } doctypePublic = (String) conf.get("doctype-public"); Even if you dont set the encoding on an OutputFormat, it can come with something already set inside of it. This causes a disparity between the encoding String member and the getEncoding() property of the format OutputFormat member. Of course, this comes after backing out the FO2PDFFormatter.java changes. BTW, why do we even have the encoding variable there? Wouldnt it make more sense to just have AbstractFormatter.getEncoding() return format.getEncoding() ? Are we using it really often in other areas of the code? It seems bad that there are two different ways to get access to the same value if they can go out of sync like this.

JACKSON — Bomgar announced it can now enable IT support professionals to remotely troubleshoot and resolve issues below the operating system level by using Intel technology.
Bomgar users can now access devices powered by Intel Core vPro processors to power up or down and reboot PCs, read and update the BIOS, reimage the drive, and more, all from a remote location. As a result, IT service desks can further reduce onsite visits and decrease end-user downtime, simultaneously increasing technician productivity and customer satisfaction.
Bomgar has worked very closely with Intel to develop a seamless integration between the widely-adopted Intel vPro Technology and the Bomgar enterprise remote support solution.

There are several doors leading into the video game industry, and the careers there differ by skill and specialty. Video games are made by the dedication and hard work of a number of people, with influenc by the journalists who critically analyze them. Some positions, such as internships, are more easily attained than others, and a college education may be required, but the most important quality to have is a passion for games.
Apply for an internship at a video game company or publication. Many companies take on college interns through unpaid internships. These positions must provide students with an educational environment, as dictated by the Fair Labor Standards Act. Interns should not perform menial tasks, but should do things that teach them the business and give them an environment to network and gain valuable contacts in the industry.
If you have a love for video games, an eye for detail and the ability to think critically, then you can be a video game tester. Testing is an entry-level position. When searching online for these jobs, don't use the search term "video game tester." Instead, search on "quality assurance tester." The former is an overly used phrase that ends with murky results at best. Game testers spend time with a single game for the duration of production, looking for game-breaking bugs and other problems that need to be patched before the game "goes gold," or into development.
Programming is a highly technical position that requires fluency in a number of computer programming languages. The most common is the C++ programming language. Most programming hopefuls take computer science degrees in college. When applying for a job, it's good to have programming experience as well, so working on small projects with developers is a good idea.
Video Game Journalist
Becoming a video game journalist doesn't have a clear-cut path. Many start as bloggers, working their way to more respected publications by freelancing, with or without a degree in English or journalism. Others get the degree first, start blogging, then go on to a position as a staff writer for a games publication. The only sure way to become a games journalist, however, is good writing. If you can write well and have a passion for video games, then you can become a games journalist with the right amount of effort and perseverance.

The retailer also said it expects a busy few months ahead as stay-at-home Brits head to Halfords to pick up their roof boxes, trailers, tents and cycle carriers and head into the countryside for their credit-crunch holidays this year.
Halfords today said profits for its financial year just ended are set to come in at between £92 million and £92.5 million, ahead of last year's £90.2 million.
Halfords profits have grown fat over the last few years as millions jumped on the in-car satellite navigation fad and installed the little screens and automated voice boxes into their motors.
However, with the credit crunch, the business has stalled.
"Satnav is after all a discretionary purchase," chief executive David Wild conceded. "We, as a business, have also had to deal with serious price deflation of around 25% on satnavs. While that is good for the customer it has been hard for us to manage.
"The market in satnavs is not dead and penetration [the number of cars that have it installed] is still only around one in four. But it has been tough."
The decline in satnav has been responsible for a 3.3% fall in like-for-like sales over the last year, though recent trading — down 3.8% over the last quarter — shows a recovery from the 7.8% slump in the Christmas quarter. Recovering group sales, said Wild, is down to the growing popularity in cycling.
Halfords is reckoned to sell one in three bicycles sold in the UK and sold a million bikes last year for the second year running. It said it has been helped by a 50% rise in the number of cycling commuters taking advantage of the government's Cycle2Work employee benefits scheme.
Halfords is now selling more higher margin premium-priced bikes retailing at in excess of £250, helped by its tie-up with cycling legend Chris Boardman.
Boardman designs the bikes and they are manufactured in Taiwan and Thailand. Olympian Nicole Cooke won her cycling gold medal on a Boardman-Halford design, said Wild. The secret to Halfords rising profits, however, has been cost-cutting. This has seen 100 people let go in recent months and will — despite the cycling boom — see the retailer pare back its BikeHut bicycle-only outlets.
Wild said BikeHut outlets will be converted to include the group's car accessories and motor maintenance products.That traditionally car maintenance core business of Halfords has also continued to boom, he said, as British consumers retain and maintain old cars rather than buy new ones. New car sales are currently falling at a rate of 30% a year.
The group also reported a bright start to its new financial year.
"We saw significant sales over the Easter weekend of roof boxes, trailers and tents, the last of which is a relatively new business line for us," said Wild.
"We have some great offers and we are hoping to take advantage of people staying in the UK for holidays this year."Reuse content

The former England captain is in Australia for Ian Healy's testimonial match and was bowled out by Shane Warne today in the Australian spinner's first game back since fracturing his finger.
Gooch said Australia were still the benchmarks, boasting a world-record winning streak of 13 Tests.
The veteran of 118 Tests said England had made good progress with their 1-0 series victory in Pakistan this month, but he warned: "I think it's early days for England yet and it would be foolhardy for anyone to talk about England challenging the dominance of the Australians at the moment. But they must go out there believing they can win and be aggressive."
Australia play five Tests in England in July and August after a three-Test tour of India.
West Indian Vasbert Drakes will be Warwickshire's overseas player next season in succession to long-serving South African Allan Donald, after agreeing a one-year contract. The 31-year-old all-rounder has previously played with Sussex and Nottinghamshire.

Believe it or not, top businessmen are increasingly reluctant to take on the job of chief executive officer because they want a proper work/life balance.
You would think most executives in large corporations would dismiss the concept of work/life balance as a load of tosh - but far from it.
These refuseniks apparently also want to spend more time with their families or pursuing hobbies, according to a survey from a study published today by the public relations firm Burston-Marsteller and thinktank the Economist Intelligence Unit.
According to Who Wants to Be a CEO, disillusionment is greatest in the US, that bastion of capitalism, where 64% would decline the offer of the top job.
Europe comes in second with 60% and Asia third with 51%. Latin Americans are the least negative - only 27% do not want to be CEO. The overall figure is 54%.
Other reasons cited for turning down the top job are the tyranny of quarterly earnings, persistent stress and intense public scrutiny.
The study cites the example of Jeff Immelt, the boss of highly profitable US conglomerate General Electric, who works 100-hour weeks and spends 60% of his time on the road.
Executives are less likely to cite the actual pressures of running a business - regulatory oversight, cost-cutting, talent-spotting, stakeholder demands and media scrutiny - as a reason to pass up the CEO's job.
Although generous compensation, perks and prestige dominate headlines worldwide, they are among the least compelling reasons given by global businessmen for wanting to be CEO.
The top three reasons are the opportunity for complex problem-solving (56%), the ability to have a personal impact on the business (43%) and the satisfaction of having ideas implemented (36%).
"CEOs today are increasingly challenged by time zones, global markets, unpredictable crises and an expanding portfolio of stakeholders demanding attention," said Dr Leslie Gaines-Ross, Burson-Marsteller's chief knowledge and research officer worldwide.
"Not until companies train the next generation of leaders to better balance work/life pressures will executives clamour for the top job."

Sketch-based 3D shape retrieval has become an important research topic in content-based 3D object retrieval. The aim of this track is to measure and compare the performance of sketch-based 3D shape retrieval methods based on a large scale hand-drawn sketch query dataset which has 7200 sketches and a generic 3D model target dataset containing 1258 3D models. The sketches and models are divided into 80 distinct classes. In this track, 5 runs have been submitted by 3 groups and their retrieval accuracies were evaluated using 7 commonly used retrieval perfor- mance metrics. We hope that this benchmark, its corresponding evaluation code, and the comparative evaluation results will contribute to the progress of this research direction for the 3D model retrieval community.

Let me ask you this, between a .380 and nothing, which makes the better SD round? If you decided to rob someone, and they pulled an LCP, would you laugh it off and say, "Your choice of Self-Defense weapon is inadequate!" and continue your original course of action?
I don't care to walk around with an arsenal on my person. I'm just not that paranoid. If you do, good on you! That works for you.

Just a hypothetical question but, what if we just didn't pay attention to the FBI and their specifications? Would it influence forum discussions? Would it really influence our choices? Should it influence our choices?
Charter Member of the DC .41 LC Society "Get heeled! No really"
No possible rapidity of fire can atone for habitual carelessness of aim with the first shot.
Theodore Roosevelt, The Wilderness Hunter, 1893
Just because their standards and measurement procedures are published so anyone can test ammunition using their standards against any other ammunition instead of relying on anecdotes, cherry-picked statistics, and personal opinions? (DocGKR on several Internet forums and Dave DiFabio (at the now-sadly-defunct Ammolab) come immediately to mind as people who have performed extensive comparitive testing on all manner of ammunition using the FBI's protocols.)
Well with all the links and books mentioned amazon and google will be busy tonight.
In regards to the OP. Think of a handgun/firearm as the ultimate pain compliance device but always remember what hurts you may not hurt me in the same way. You have two options in regards to this. First cause the other person so much pain that he no longer wants to play with you anymore find his pain thrshhold and surpass it. Secondly mechanically break him where he can't play anymore. Envision a car motor. If you drain the oil out the car will keep going until the engine overheats and seizes up but cut the driveshaft it will not go anywhere.
Now you have to be careful with this theory in that when you mechanically break them, shots to the pelvic girdle, femur and so on they still may be able to shoot but they are severely limited on mobility.
You cannot rely on any, generally speaking, handgun round to drop someone out of the fight unless you hit a component of the CNS/brain or spinal cord. Blood loss will not cause an immediate cease in hostile activities even if the heart/aorta are completely destroyed. The human body can take a great deal of punishment and in many cases the brain will keep the body going on the remaining blood supply/oxygen it has stored.
Ask any hunter who has just heart shot a deer and spends the next 30 minutes tracking him. The heart is destroyed, no blood flowing yet the animal travelled a great distance before collapsing the human body is the same way.
In cases where severe pain is inflicted your body has a tremendous dump of natural chemicals to compensate for the blood loss. The brain although it composes about 2% of the total body weight takes up to 25% of the blood supply. Since the brain is in charge it can and will shut down blood supplies to internal organs and extremities to save itself and keep the body going.
This is for a person who is reacting naturally to a pain response and does not include those who are chemically or mentally altered. This category of aggressors can withstand tremendous amounts of abuse and keep on coming.
In regards to caliber there is no magic bullet that will end a gunfight quick enough unless you hit what has already been mentioned. To many folks today put to much faith in media hype, internet legend and statistics. It was not long ago that a study/survey was posted on here stating that all you need most of the time was a low round count .22 backed up by a shotgun to survive a home invasion and folks ran with it. Does that mean that we should all carry a simple .22 because of what the stats said? Not quite.
I carry a .380 on occasion and do not feel undergunned in the least. I have trained enough and know my skill level and more importantly the limitations of the weapon and ammunition I am carrying to be comfortable with it. Do I normally carry something bigger? Of course, but whatever I have on my person at that time, in that moment of need is what I will use whether it is a .22 or a big bore magnum.
The shot placement argument makes me laugh. Find someone that remains super calm in a life and death situation & then we can talk about how amazing shot placement is.
This statement really intrigues me. I can start by naming Jeff Cooper, Jim Cirillo and and others who have been in a host of lethal force encounters and came out on top because they put the bullet where it needed to go. Bullets by the way that many consider obsolete by today's super duper SD standards. Namely the 158 gr RNL .38 special and the 230 gr .45 cal ball.
Training, skill and mindset are what will get you through the event. You will have a multitude of emotions, physical and phycological events that will occur in the moment of need, it is how you have trained to react to these events that will keep you alive.
In closing, to the OP, carry what you feel comfortable with. Practice and train with it. There will always be some new super duper magnum blaster that will be the latest craze. Will it be better than what you have? Who knows. If you are involved in a lethal force encounter shoot them to the ground reload and be prepared to shoot some more he may not have gotten the memo or read the latest stats to know he is supposed to go down from 2.7 hits from your new self defense load.
It has and always will be the guy pulling the trigger not the equipment he is using that will prevail.
Just an opinion.
"A first rate man with a third rate gun is far better than the other way around". The gun is a tool, you are the craftsman that makes it work. There are those who say "if I had to do it, I could" yet they never go out and train to do it. Don't let stupid be your mindset. Harryball 2013
The 500S&W is much more effective OWB for penetration. I get penetrating stares from everybody around.
No disrespect to any caliber, but practice with and carry it always. It's not what it can do, as much as what you can do.
"It's 90% half mental." - Yogi

("Do not give in to evil but proceed ever more boldly against it.")
-Virgil, Aeneid, vi, 95
Are there a rash of cases of people failing to properly self-defend because their .380 were inadequate?
^^^^YES and No^^^^^^^^^^^
What you both should realize is that, yes, many years ago people would take game animals, even dangerous game with smaller caliber weapons.
When a different round comes along, it isn't so much people forget the older round, and look at it as ineffective, its that the larger, quite possibly more potent new round will make up for, a longer shot perhaps, or the game animal moving at the last moment, thereby creating a tougher job for the bullet to bring the animal down in a capable manner.
I have made great shots on deer with a 30-30, and some have gone quite a bit farther than I had anticipated. Not out of site mind you, but still went farther than I thought they would.
I have shot coyotes, with 30-30 HP, and SP and either went 20-30 yds. but had such trauma they were goners.
The one that was shot with the HP had a hole going out that you could at least put your fist through, if not more.
I doubt you would get that from the most potent of rounds out of a handgun cartridge , but I'm sure Glockman10mm will correct me if I'm wrong.
You also must consider the fact that if .22lr, .25, or even .32 or .380 were effectual at bringing the BG down, then don't you think LEO's around the globe would use them?
The larger calibers, will aid in punching through layers of clothing, help make up for a difficult shot angle, the BG also on the move, as well as you, shooting under stress, not to mention as has been brought up before, a formidable attacker or 3.
Yes, even if you've went through the motions 1000 times at some training seminar.

I've personally seen 8"+ sized holes on deer from rifle rounds, never seen that with a pistol round.
I see a lot of people in this thread and many others here and around the internet that like to hop on the newest band wagon.
carry what is comfortable to you and that you shoot best, Take care
380s suck. Worthless. About as effective as a rock. Maybe. Maybe not. Unreal to think folks carry them.
Like me. Everyday. Love my 238.
You guys are funny.

For a guy who's not actually buried there, the late Johnny Ramone or his ghost sure spends a lot of time haunting Hollywood Forever Cemetery. A fearsomely lifelike black statue of the Ramones guitarist, who died from prostate cancer in 2004, stands glowering in a bed of bright yellow and orange flowers beside a lovely pond, not too far from the grave of Dee Dee Ramone, the one member of the group whose body is interred in the cemetery. Every summer, Johnny's widow, Linda Ramone, presents the Johnny Ramone Tribute, with film screenings and appearances by the guitarist's celebrity pals to benefit the USC Westside Prostate Cancer Center. At this year's sixth edition, a new, anamorphic print of the Ramones' campy flick Rock 'n' Roll High School (executive-produced by Roger Corman) will be shown, as well as James Whale's 1935 classic The Bride of Frankenstein, which was reportedly Johnny's "No. 1 film favorite." We're pretty sure that's what the promoters said about last year's main attraction, Night of the Living Dead, but it's a good thing that cult-film fanatic Johnny had so many "favorite" movies, if only so that this unexpectedly wonderful series can continue to be a summertime tradition. With special guests P.J. Soles, Dey Young and Metallica's Kirk Hammett.

QUEEN stars BRIAN MAY and ROGER TAYLOR credit MOTT THE HOOPLE with inspiring them to embrace their flamboyance and become fully-fledged rock stars in the 1970s.The Bohemian Rhapsody hitmakers were Mott the Hoople's opening act on tour of America in 1974, and the Queen rockers admit it was on the road with the band where they cultivated their theatrical stage persona. May explains, "That was when we learned how to be rock stars. Just as you thought the day was over, one of Mott would burst into your room, loaded with bottles and whatever else, and off you'd go again. It was very, very full-on and very, very exciting." And drummer Taylor is convinced it was Mott the Hoople's liberal fans who encouraged Queen to develop their glam rock act. He recalls, "Mott were perfect for us. They had an open-minded, very rock 'n' roll, insane audience. They were liberated, colourful - not the normal rock crowd... The shows got bigger, but it was rough. Fred (Mercury, frontman) wouldn't get out of the van some nights. He and Brian had black and white fingernails and literally wore dresses, but the tough audiences in Liverpool and Glasgow and Newcastle loved us."source: http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/mott-the-hoople-taught-queen-how-to-rock_1203110

UPDATE 1-BP, Eni announce new gas discovery off Egyptian coast
(Updates throughout)
LONDON, June 9 (Reuters) - Energy majors BP and Eni on Thursday announced a significant natural gas discovery off the Egyptian coast.
The discovery is in the Baltim southwest exploration prospect in the East Nile Delta.
It is 10 km north of the Nooros gas field which was discovered in July last year and has a production rate of 65,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, the companies said.
Italy's Eni, through its subsidiary IEOC, holds a 50 percent stake in the licence of Baltim South and BP holds the other 50 percent.
The new discovery "further confirms the significant potential of the so called Great Nooros Area, which is now estimated to hold 70-80 billion cubic metres of gas in place," Eni said in a statement.
BP said that appraisal activities will be required to understand its full resource potential.
"Our plan is to utilise existing infrastructure which will accelerate the development of the discovery, and expedite early production start-up," said Hesham Mekawi, regional president of BP North Africa.
Once an energy exporter, Egypt has turned into a net importer because of declining oil and gas production and increasing consumption. Continuación...

TORONTO, July 12 (Reuters) - Canadian stocks hit a two-week low on Thursday, led by energy and mining shares, as investors worried about slower growth from top consumer China ahead of key GDP data and after the U.S. Federal Reserve signaled it would hold off on further stimulus. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed down 119.17 points, or 1 percent, at 11,425.47. It rebounded slightly after hitting 11,366.74, its lowest level since June 28.

Amazon is on a recruiting drive. The e-tail giant is looking for 1,000 more permanent staff for its UK distribution centres.
It already employs 6,000 people at its UK warehouses and customer service centres. These extra staff will join Amazon's 'fulfilment' centres in Doncaster, Dunfermline, Gourock, Hemel Hempstead, Milton Keynes, Peterborough, Rugeley and Swansea Bay in the next few months.
Last week, it announced plans to open its first retail store in New York.
"Over the past two years, we have added well in excess of 2,000 new employees to our workforce and we are delighted to be able to add a further 1,000 to that number over the coming months," John Tagawa, director of UK operations at Amazon, told the Guardian. "As we see greater demand, we are able to rapidly grow our talented team across the UK."
The Amazon store in New York is likely to act as a test bed. If it's successful, we could see Amazon outlets hit the UK high street. Which would be ironic, seeing as it's played such a big part in decimating it in recent years.
The store will open across the street from the Empire State Building. It could also act as a pick-up point for online orders, if you need something urgently. Which would surely come in handy around Christmas time.
Amazon recently launched its Fire Phone in the UK, though it's only offered through O2 at present. It has received mixed reviews, and the price was recently slashed in the US following news that it had sold only 35,000 units.

BLK Super Speciality Hospital - Respiratory, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine, New Delhi, India
SESSION TITLE: ICU Infections Posters
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Poster
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: To determine the incidence and causative pathogens of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) and compliance to its prevention strategies in a tertiary care intensive care unit (ICU).
METHODS: VAP was defined as per the definitions of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System (CDC-NNIS) and prospective cohort surveillance for VAP was done. The data on microbial isolates, antimicrobial resistance along with compliance of measures to prevent VAP were also collected and analyzed.
RESULTS: The data was collected from January 2010 to March 2012. A total of 3201 patients were hospitalized in the ICU, for an aggregate of 12,873 patient days. Seventy five patients developed VAP infections. The ventilator days were 4921 and this amounts to overall VAP rate of 15.24 infections per 1000 ventilator days. The incidence of early onset VAP (E-VAP) and late onset VAP (L-VAP) was 25.2% & 74.8% respectively. The most common pathogens identified were Acinetobacter baumanii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebseilla spp. Most of these were multidrug resistant. There was low compliance to hand hygiene, head of bed elevation, daily sedation interruption and oral care.
CONCLUSIONS: There was increase incidence of VAP amongst other nosocomial infection in the ICU. Most of these VAP were late in onset (L-VAP) and were caused by multidrug resistant pathogens. It was felt that there was a need to improve compliance to VAP prevention measures as part of the routine management of patients with mechanical ventilation.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: VAP is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and is the commonest nosocomial infection in ICU. Regular surveillance of such infection is important as it result in decrease in infection rates and improved quality of health care.

text: Hello I have a Nokia Lumia 630. I have had it for about 7 months. I have a SD card, and about half of my storage has been used. Now, when I turn the phone on and unlock it comes up with a black screen saying its loading. I can click on the bottom right search, it comes up with the search but then it is still loading. I have to hold down the button to turn it off. How do I fix this? It is urgent Thank you https://windowsforum.com/threads/please-help.210188/ Hello I can still access settings and the search bar. Soft reset does nothing. What should I do? Hard reset? Thank you If a soft reset doesn't do it for you then that's likely your remaining option, be sure to backup things first, hopefully you've been doing that right along. I've had to do a couple on my 521 and my 810 but, that's primarily attributable to the fact that I use them both to play with Windows 10 preview builds. It's a pain in the butt, but sometimes your only last course of action.

75 things to do in Accra and Ghana • Beaches, day trips and national parks
With tips on everything from Accra's best restaurants and shops to museums and sightseeing – read our ultimate guide to things to do in Accra
Elephant-spotting at Mole National Park
Mole National Park, which covers an area of 4,480 square kilometres, is Ghana's largest wildlife refuge. It is home to a stunning terrain of grassland savannah veined with streams and rivers. Elephants are the unofficial symbol of the park, which also contains lions, leopards, buffalo and 3,000 bird species.
See more on exploring Ghana's wilderness and wildlife reserves
Spectacular Elmina
Elmina must be one of the most colourful places in the world. Most of the town comes out twice a day, to wish its fishermen a safe trip and greet them again as they return. Brightly painted boats, everyone wearing football shirts, the flip-flopping catch being sold on the dockside: it's an overwhelming site...
See the Elmina spectacle in pictures
Kicks on Kokrobite Beach
This small beach town has become a destination for sun seekers and pleasure seekers. The long-established Big Milly's has become somewhat of a backpackers classic – a laid back hostel with an open bar. But the beach is the main attraction – the finest near Accra.
See more on Kokrobite • See more on Big Milly's Backyard
Canopy views of Kakum National Park
Kakum National Park is a hugely popular day trip from Accra. Leave the visitors' centre and you start walking on a series of vertiginous walkways suspended high in the canopy. It offers a fabulous view of the park, and a bit of an adrenalin rush to boot.
See more on Kakum National Park
Surf's up at Bojo Beach
Thatched umbrellas stud the shoreline, looking out over the area's characteristically crashing waves. Rustic to say the least, Bojo is a delightfully simplistic set up of sand, water and seating. Bojo is well-maintained, clean, and the urban hubbub seems eons away.

Escape to Aqua Safari Resort
We were rather taken aback by Aqua Safari. It faces out to the estuary of the River Volta, a mile or so upstream from the ocean. From an open-sided restaurant and bar you can see Ghana's island-dwelling folk crab-fishing and clam-diving in the water. The forward-thinking owners offer guided tours to the islands for boat-building and basket-weaving workshops – there's also a lot of water to play around in on a jet-ski or one of the pontoons.

Kick back by the river at Royal Senchi
The Royal Senchi Resort is a bold undertaking; a largely thatched 84-room complex with facilities for large conferences just west of the town of Akosombo. Its location by the river gives it a wild tropical feel, while being within a 90-minute drive from Accra.

Explore Ghana's past at Cape Coast
Cape Coast might be the former capital city, but when held up against Accra, it's the very picture of serenity. The centre is an appealing place in which to watch and wander - particularly down by the crescent-shaped harbour - it also has a sharply sobering history. You'll most likely be aware that Cape Coast Castle was where some of the worst atrocities of the slave trade era were committed.

Chill for cheap at Big Milly's Backyard
hose unwinding in Kokrobite can enjoy fresh and tasty meals at Big Milly's onsite restaurant. The menu includes fresh seafood such as lobster and barracuda, as well as a wide selection of vegetarian options.
Live it up at White Sands Beach Resort & Spa
Those willing to splash some cash for the millionaire treatment can stay at this deluxe private members' club near Fetteh. Slide into the infinity pool, sample the top-notch cuisine and enjoy some of the best service in Ghana.

Make Fresh Pasta in 30 Minutes or Less
Photo: Ginger Hultin, MS, RDN, CSO, LDN
Product Reviewed
Ronco Pasta Maker
Making pasta can sound intimidating; generally reserved for fancy Italian restaurants and dinner party overachievers. But with the Ronco Pasta Maker, it couldn't be simpler. Having never used a pasta maker before, I appreciated the easy setup (I got the machine going, made my pasta and cooked it — all in 30 minutes) and cleanup (the entire thing is dishwasher-safe).
The user's manual included simple recipes and tips for both wheat-based and gluten-free pastas. Following the instructions, I poured whole-wheat flour into the main bowl of the machine, added the liquids (water, egg, olive oil and crushed garlic) separately and turned the machine on to mix the dough. After three minutes of kneading, I flipped the switch and the blades reversed to push the dough through one of five pasta attachments: rigatoni, spaghetti, linguini, lasagna and fettuccini. The Ronco Pasta Maker also comes with sausage-making accessories.
When the dough was used up and the noodles were finished, I quickly boiled them in hot water for three minutes and tossed them with a simple sauce. My taste-testers were very pleased, enjoying the thick, chewy texture of the fresh noodles!
The only negatives of the Ronco Pasta Maker are that it is fairly noisy when running and some dough was wasted because it couldn't get through the noodle attachment. But mostly, I liked how easy it is to assemble, use and clean, and how fast you can get fresh pasta on the table!
