Chicago Cubs general manager Jim Hendry was busy Tuesday and Wednesday interviewing Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg in Scottsdale, Ariz. for the managerial job.
"I had a good day and a half with Ryno," Hendry said. "Dinner on Tuesday night, then we met for three or four hours yesterday.
"It was good. The process is continuing the way I said it would."
Sandberg is the second known person to have interviewed with the Cubs at this point. Hendry interviewed former Cleveland Indians manager Eric Wedge in August.
The Cubs GM previously had informal discussions and dinner with Sandberg in Albuquerque, N.M. as Sandberg's Triple-A Iowa Cubs were ending their season.
A Fox Sports reporter tweeted on Wednesday that the Toronto Blue Jays have Sandberg on their list for prospective manager interviews. A league source said no team has asked the Cubs for permission to talk to Sandberg.
Hendry's process for hiring a manager will continue through at least mid-October, when he takes his final choice or choices to chairman of the board Tom Ricketts for approval. Among Hendry's confidants in hiring a new manager are special assistant Greg Maddux, assistant GM Randy Bush and scouts Ken Kravec and Gary Hughes.
Hendry responded to new Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers saying he would like to add Maddux to his staff.
"Greg's intent is to stay with the Cubs and do what he's doing now," Hendry said. "And I'm sure we'll have some more expansive duties for him. I've had numerous conversations with him since Lou [Piniella] left, including the managerial process."
Hendry also will talk to former Seattle Mariners manager Bob Melvin; Cubs broadcaster Bob Brenly; former Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu and Cubs interim manager Mike Quade, who has impressed Hendry and his staff with the way he's handled the team since taking over from the retired Lou Piniella.

Wash. bloodmobile offers beer to blood donors
Published: Monday, January 11, 2010 at 4:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 11, 2010 at 4:23 p.m.
TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A Washington state blood center is offering donors a deal: Give a pint of blood, get a pint of beer.
Cascade Regional Blood Services in Tacoma says its "Give blood, get beer" promotion has worked so well that it's being expanded.
The News Tribune of Tacoma reported Monday that donors who are at least 21 years old are given a coupon for a free pint of beer.
Participating pubs and restaurants must wait at least four hours after the blood drive ends before donors can collect their free pint.
Cascade's director of donor resources Dan Schmitt says it's a fun way to get more donors, and it's good for the participating businesses as well.

Is that the right way to word it? I'm looking for both personal experience and any proven successful in a majority of cases, ways to quit smoking. I know I could google it, but I don't prefer blindly searching the internet, and I think it's a good topic....
Honestly I'm a weak person. I really, truly want to quit, but part of me doesn't, or is afraid to, idk. I've tried wearing patches, but if I don't take them off by early afternoon I have really gory nightmares. If I do take them off, I smoke enough to make up for the morning. I'm not sure I could hack cold turkey. Just about every night, I tell myself I am not going to smoke in the morning, but it never happens. And the thought of quitting makes me light up in itself.
The irony is that I am terrified of dying young, but I realize that I am directly contributing to the possibility. I can sit and look at diseased lungs all day, and it doesn't phase me. When I've had a baby and left the hospital, I can see why non-smokers say it stinks. I really don't want my kids to smoke, but I know it will probably be a given. I've been smoking for about 10 years, and I became a chain smoker after a series of traumatic events in '07. We want to have one more baby in the future, and I want to be quit before then.
What worked for you?

Are You Bipolar?
is there a cure?While there's no single cure for manic depression, the condition can be curbed with very effective treatments. As it's a recurring illness, long-term treatment with medication and counseling are the norm, with a doctor closely monitoring changes in mood and adjusting dosages accordingly.
For mania, mood-stabilizing drugs such as lithium are prescribed. They may be combined with anticonvulsive drugs.
For depression, antidepressants are not recommended, since they can trigger the onset of mania. Antipsychotic medications and sleeping pills are often better suited for bipolar depression.
Of course, all pharmaceutical treatments come with side effects. These may take the form of weight gain, nausea, tremor, reduced sex drive or performance, anxiety, hair loss, movement problems, or dry mouth. It is crucial to keep your doctor abreast of any and all side effects.
As for counseling, several psycho-social therapies exist that help the patient change negative thought patterns, recognize signs of relapse, and improve relationships. There are also family therapies to teach those around the patient how to deal with episodes.
what can you do?While taking medication as prescribed by a doctor is the best way to prevent episodes, a few simple changes in your daily routine can cut the chances of a manic or depressive relapse.
Get enough sleep every night on a regular schedule. Eat a balanced, healthy diet. Exercise daily. Control your stress at home and at work. Keep a steady daily routine without being dogmatic about it. Avoid drugs and alcohol.
Most importantly, learn the warning signs of an episode and seek treatment as soon as one occurs.
how can you help?
Psychiatrists are the only people who can treat the disorder, but support from friends and family can decrease the length of an episode and encourage self-recovery. It's most important, above all, to be patient. Here are some things you can do to help someone you know.
For a depressed person:
For a manic person:
it's not a fun conditionA bipolar person may seem like a lot of fun during a manic episode, but he's exposing himself to further mental and physical damage in the process.
If you're bipolar or know someone who is, it's your responsibility to seek treatment, or at least bring it up to them. This condition is easily-treated, so there's no reason to deprive yourself or a loved one of a normal life.

Closing Sabby's is heartbreakingOctober 30,2012Because of certain circumstances, and with deep regret, we had to close Sabbys door. It was one of the hardest decisions weve ever had to make, and our hearts are broken over this.
Sabbys has been an institution in Rutland for so many years, and we are proud and honored to say that we owned it, if only for a short while. We genuinely wanted to carry on the tradition that Sabbys has always been known for, but because of certain situations, it wasnt meant to be for us, and we are sick over this.
We want to thank our staff for all their hard work. They werent our employees; they were and always will be our family, and I hope they will always realize just how much they all mean to us. Especially Larry!
And thank you to each and every customer who came through our door. We appreciate it more than you know, especially to those who came to be such good friends to us.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you all so much.

Re: Finally got Conditiona
[ Edited ]
l Approval!? *UPDATE 01/08*
01-09-2013 10:33 AM - edited 01-09-2013 12:46 PM
Spoke with the loan processor again this morning and asked about the LEO for the NSF fee. He said he sent it back to UW and it should be back out by end of next week. He didn't forsee any problems with the LEO, said it's more of a formality that they have to ask, but UW does need to review it. If no other conditions are asked for from UW, then we'll received "verified credit approval" on the file.
He said the "verified credit approval" is the last step in the process for now, which is as final of an approval you can get until it's actually time to close. The next time we would be in touch is 30-45 days from closing when they need updated bank statements, credit report and W2s (or taxes/P&L in our case).

2016 Olympics- Kiteboarding ousts Windsurfer for 2016
by Sail-World on 5 May 2012
Day 1 of the inaugural Kiteboard Class. 2011 Phuket King's Cup Regatta. Photo by Kiteboard Tour Asia. Guy Nowell
In a completely unexpected move, the ISAF Council has voted to have Kiteboarding as an Olympic Event for the 2016 Olympics in Brazil.
The vote to make the switch was by 19 votes to 17 votes for the Windsurfer, meaning that one less vote for the Kites would have carried the day for the Windsurfer
Kiteboarding was the third Olympic event to undergo Evaluation Trials at Santander, Spain in March. However unlike the other two - being the Womens Olympic Skiff and the Mixed Multihull - which were givens as Events in the 2016 Olympic equation, the Evaluation Trial for the Kiteboards was to determine its suitability for the 2016 Olympics.
That answer was required due to the fact that Kiteboarding has had a very tense relationship with the ISAF.
The ISAF Council was expected to take Kiteboarding into the 2013 World Cup circuit as a full event and assimilate it into the sport.
The Evaluation Team produced a report that spoke in glowing terms of Kiteboarding and what it could bring to the ISAF's competitions, however the same was said of windsurfing when it was first included in the ISAF and Olympic Sailing families.
Then as now with Kiteboarding, the bulk of the windsurfers sold were for recreational use only, and there were no club fleets of windsurfers.
Subsequently fleets did build as the Windsurfers shifted into the ISAF regatta circuit. It has also taken some time to build a full junior circuit and class progression into windsurfing.
The very nature of Kiteboarding means that it is not possible for young sailors of 12 years and upwards to Kiteboard, and it remains to be seen as to what class progressions are established.
While speaking highly favourably of Kiteboarding, the report did not take the same expansive view of windsurfing, ignoring the television and media coverage generated by circuits like the PWA . Instead focussing on the Olympic event only
The recommendation of the Evaluation Team was that Kiteboarding be taken one step further and for the sport to be sailed at ISAF World Cup events. But the Council has bounced that one level higher and gone for full Olympic inclusion.
The events to be contested at the 2016 Olympic Games are confirmed as:
Men's Kiteboarding
Women's Kiteboarding
Men's One Person Dinghy - Laser
Women's One Person Dinghy - Laser Radial
Men's One Person Dinghy (heavy) - Finn
Men's Two Person Dinghy - 470
Women's Two Person Dinghy - 470
Men's Skiff - 49er
Women's skiff - 49er FX
Mixed Two Person Multihull - Nacra 17

Parts of the brick walkway of Liberty Island that were damaged in Superstorm Sandy were shown during a tour, in New York, Friday, Nov. 30, 2012. Tourists in New York will miss out for a while on one of the hallmarks of a visit to New York, seeing the Statue of Liberty up close. Though the statue itself survived Superstorm Sandy intact, damage to buildings and Liberty Island's power and heating systems means the island will remain closed for now, and authorities don't have an estimate on when it will reopen.

I have prepared a program with Visual Basic 2010 and I am using a SQL Server 2008 database. (service based database) it works properly. But sometimes (when I don't use computer for a period like 2 hours) I try to start my program on VB (F5), it waits, and then gives this error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occured while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or is not accesible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server name is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified.)
I have googled it, but nothing helps. I'm afraid this error will be a problem when the user uses the program. How might I solve this?

Goldman's Jim O'Neill on China's Slowdown
Jim O'Neill, Goldman Sachs Asset Management's chairman and former chief economist for the investment bank, was in Hong Kong Thursday and gave a briefing to reporters. The sharp-tongued and nomenclature-obsessed Mr. O'Neill is well-known for coming up with the acronym BRICs, a grouping of fast-growing and large emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India and China. Now he's trying to do away with the term "emerging markets." Mr. O'Neill is a long-time proponent of the idea that the future of the global economy lies outside the developed world. Here are edited excerpts from his presentation and Q&A.
China is slowing…a happy landing and possible a big rally…
"The Chinese economy is probably slowing down more than people realize and therefore it's not surprising given the importance of China that commodity prices are under pressure. To me it's a surprise they rose so much earlier this year. China will slow down to around 8% GDP, and consensus is above 9%…
I call it a happy landing, and if I'm right, sometime during the second half of this year, Chinese inflation will not be a problem. It will come down below 4% and the PBOC [People's Bank of China] will stop tightening monetary policy and we can all live happily ever after…
If the PBOC stops tightening later this year, you could have a big rally in China."
Three risks to China's 'happy landing.'
"I certainly don't think some of these conventional fears Western people have, I don't think they're true…I certainly don't think it's a property bubble.

Gaborik Nets 30th Goal as Rangers Top Hurricanes
Rangers 3, Hurricanes 2
Rangers star forward Marian Gaborik scored his 30th goal of the season and tacked on an assist as New York topped the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night, 3-2.
Gaborik, Artem Anisimov and Brandon Prust all scored for the Rangers, while backup goalie Martin Biron stopped 21 of the 23 shots he faced to earn the win. Derek Stepan added a pair of assists.
It's the seventh time in Gaborik's career that he's hit the 30-goal mark, the last time coming in his first year with the Rangers, when he scored 42 in the 2009-10 season.
The victory against Carolina stretched the Eastern Conference-leading Rangers' most recent winning streak to three games. New York has amassed 88 points in 62 games, well ahead of the defending Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins, who are the next closest team in the standings.

Bail out children instead of banks
Published: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at 6:50 p.m.
I appreciate the Jan. 23 article by Todd Ruger highlighting how cuts in funds to the YMCA will affect troubled children. It was of particular interest to hear about the girl who graduated from one of the programs going on to lead a Blackhawk squadron.
It seems as a society we're saying we don't have enough money to help orphaned children but we can bail out our banks,allowing people like a former Merrill Lynch CEO to pay billions in bonuses.
I hope some in Congress or some wealthy benefactors help reverse these types of decisions. Otherwise, I think we're done as a country.

Hirosaki University (Master's)
Dear prospective students, I am a dedicated and hard working professional Japanese tutor to English speakers, math and English tutor to Japanese. I am also patient to adjust my tutoring to each student's level.
I am a native Japanese speaker. I also speak, read, and write English fluently. My TOEIC score is 795, which I scored in 2007. My English level has improved a lot since then. I live in Gaithersburg, MD, and I work in DC on weekdays. I moved here from Japan about seven years ago.
I have taught Japanese to native English speakers from the first grade students to 60's adults since I moved to the States. I had also taught five subjects to elementary/middle school students for more than 10 years: Japanese, English, math, science, and history when I lived in Japan. I had also taught two subjects to high school students: math and English. In addition, I can teach Japanese culture. I like tutoring at a personal level and adjusting myself to the students' desires and levels. I would love to share achievement with students. I also earned a bachelor of economics at Hirosaki University in Japan and studied English in Australia.
Regarding my tutoring rate, of course negotiable! I am looking forward to hearing for your inquiry.
Thank you!
Sachiho Y. Dear prospective students, I am a dedicated and hard working professional Japanese tutor to English speakers, math and English tutor to Japanese. I am also patient to adjust my
Sachiho assisted me in prepping for an expanded kanji repertoire and though I will definitely need some serious practice, I feel that her patience and good humor were a great basis for learning.
Sachiho is a wonderful tutor! I needed a few lessons to brush up on my Japanese before traveling there. She helped me pick out books for my level and was able to quickly get my comprehension and speaking skills on track. She was always on time and responded quickly via text/email. I highly recommend her!
Sachiho is a patient and professional utter. She listens to my questions very carefully and responses them accurately. I really appreciate her tutoring method. Thank you so much.
Sachiho is not just a tutor, she is a teacher. She understands our son's shyness and thinks about how to engage him. She is focused on what he needs and is moving him to a higher level of Japanese understanding in order to increase his confidence. He looks forward to his lessons each week.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I am a native Japanese speaker. I was a professional tutor when I lived in Japan. I taught 5 subjects to elementary, middle school students: Japanese, English, math, science, and history. I also taught 2 subjects to high school students: English and math.

Illinois Sells $700 Million After Moody's Shifts State Higher
Illinois, the second lowest-rated state after California, sold $700 million today in the largest Build America Bond offering in a month, a day after its credit standing was recalibrated higher by Moody's Investors Service.
The fifth most-populous U.S. state obtained an all-in interest cost of 6.31 percent across serial maturities from 2011 through 2035, said John Sinsheimer, Illinois director of capital markets. That compares with an average yield of 6.15 percent yesterday on the Wells Fargo Build America Bond Index.
"There was a lot of sponsorship on the name, it did very well," said Tom Boylen, a managing director and municipal bond trader in Chicago for BMO Capital Markets. Yields were high because "that's Illinois, which is at the bottom end of the credit scale," Boylen said.
Moody's raised Illinois's rating two steps to Aa3, its fourth-highest, from A2 as part of its municipal debt recalibration program yesterday. Both Moody's and Fitch Ratings are shifting their state and local grading scale to make them more comparable with corporate debt.
The cost was 4.14 percent with the federal 35 percent Build America Bond subsidy, Sinsheimer said. That compares with a yield of 3.24 percent on top-rated, 10-year tax-exempts, according to Municipal Market Advisors.
Illinois has sold a total of $2 billion in Build Americas so far this year, including a $300 million sale earlier this month. Ten-year Build America Bonds in the state's $300 million offering yielded 5.65 percent when issued April 6. The security traded at a yield of 5.4 percent today, according to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.
Recalibrating Rankings
Fitch recalibrated its ranking of Illinois to A+, its fifth-highest, on April 5. The move came after it cut the assessment one level to A- last month. Standard & Poor's lowered its grading of Illinois debt in December to A+. The three rating companies have a negative outlook or watch on the credit, portending possible downgrades. The state is trying to close a $9.3 billion budget deficit before the start of the next fiscal year in July, according to Fitch.
Ten-year, top-rated, tax-exempt debt is yielding 86.1 percent of comparable government notes, the highest since Feb. 1, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Illinois's is the biggest Build America offering since California sold $2.5 billion on March 25 and is the largest municipal issue this week. Proceeds from the sale will help fund grants for school districts as well as capital projects.
International Buyers
Illinois marketed the $700 million sale to institutional investors, including international buyers, yesterday, said Tom Lanctot, a principal at William Blair & Co. in Chicago, which is leading the underwriting.
"It is, from a borrower's standpoint, a good time," said Richard Ciccarone, chief research officer of Oak Brook, Illinois-based McDonnell Investment Management, which oversees $7 billion of municipal debt. "There's some recovery in the wind."
Illinois employers added 3,000 jobs in March, the third-straight monthly increase, the Labor Department said last week. The state has "strong" economic resources and now needs to figure out how to tap them, Ciccarone said.

I have a Dell studio 1555 laptop with Core2 Duo CPU & ATI Radeon 4500 series GPU. I run Windows 7.
Recently, when I boot my lappie, I foud it missing its display and I took it to a laptop service center. The technician told me that it was due to laptop heating and is a common fault. Then he made a hot air blow to GPU chips, and after cooling, the display came back. Then I told him to set fan speed to 100% to prevent over heating in future. Since there was no option for fan speed in BIOS, he made it manually.
Is this a good practice to set notebook fan speed to 100%? Will this setting prevent my notebook from overheating in future? Will I encounter with the same trouble again?

Trafton Printing Co. won top honors Saturday at the annual Amarillo Advertising Federation ADDY Awards celebration. The company was honored with the Best of Show Award for its work on Amarillo Little Theatre's Cocktail Collection.
The winning entry is a compact disc case filled with cards printed with show information and backed by recipes for specialty drinks. Working on the project were Allen Shankles, ALT director, consultant; Janet Brost, art director/designer/illustrator; Shannon Richardson, photographer; and Tony Freeman, account executive.
The federation also honored four companies with special judges' awards for their work. Merrick Pet Care earned the award for brand development. McCormick Co. earned the special judges' award for outstanding design on the Ferme Chic, The Chair Collection project.
American Quarter Horse Museum took the award for photography with its body of work in the ADDY Awards show. Johansson and Associates won the award for television production for work on behalf of Golden Plains Church of Christ.
Twenty-one of 26 entrants won an award, said chairman Eric Miller.
"We're one of the smallest clubs who brings in judges," he said.
John Aguillard of San Antonio, Susan Saurage-Altenloh of Houston and Stacey McCullough of Kansas City, Mo., judged the contest.
"I was told by the judges they were very surprised by the quality for a small market," Miller said. "They were impressed by the depth of talent and they saw only good things from this show, and they want to come back."
The federation honored Wonderland Amusement Park with its community service award.
Amarillo Advertising Federation president Blake Goldston chose Marsha Hughes, an account executive with Channel 10, for outstanding member.
"It was an unusually difficult challenge for me to pick a single outstanding member this year," Goldston said.
Hughes co-chairs the membership committee, serves on the ADDY committee and has helped with other committees, he said.
"She's just really a team player," Goldston said.
Paul Matney of Amarillo College won the Silver Medal. A committee of past Silver Medal recipients chooses the winner.

Q From E Corvin; Gabriella McLeish in London: What is the origin of the word git that I read in a British book?
A Could that have been one of the Harry Potter books? It certainly appears in at least one of them. From before 1300 a get was what had been begotten, a child or offspring. But by about 1500 it had started to be used in Scotland and northern England in the sense of misbegotten, a bastard; from there it became a general term of abuse for a fool or idiot. By about 1700 get seems to have lapsed into slang or dialect, only to reappear in the wider language in the 1940s with a different spelling and lacking the associations with illegitimacy. James Joyce uses the older spelling (and meaning) in Ulysses in 1922: "The bloody thicklugged sons of whores' gets!" These days, it's a widely known and used term of abuse in Britain for somebody regarded as totally worthless or useless, most commonly appearing in cries of frustration such as "that stupid git, now look what he's done!".

LOS ANGELES (AP) - David Grant, who was Howard Hughes' co-pilot on the only flight of the huge flying wooden boat dubbed the "Spruce Goose," died Sept. 20. He was 84.
Grant, a hydraulic engineer, was among the original employees of Hughes Aircraft Co. in 1946. He created the hydraulic system for the "Spruce Goose," a 200-ton flying wooden boat with a 319-foot wingspan, which Hughes designed during World War II to carry soldiers.

Etowah Lions give awards
Published: Thursday, August 6, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 5, 2009 at 4:50 p.m.
The Etowah Lions award scholarships at West Henderson High and citizenship awards at Rugby and Etowah Elementary. This years recipients were very grateful young people.
The Etowah Lions are unique in Western North Carolina with their fund raising mechanism. They own a garbage service that has been in operation for more than 50 years. This year, they decided the community that they serve both as Lions and with the garbage service should know where some of the Lions share of the money made from collecting garbage goes. On both of the garbage trucks are the names of the scholarship recipients and also the Citizenship Award that is sponsored by the Etowah Lions. It is their way of showing that they truly serve their community in many ways that are not all that obvious, unless you are the person that receives the help.
The Etowah Lions want to say thank you to the community that continues to support their work so they in turn can continue to support the community.
Congratulations to all of the recipients from Etowah Elementary, Gage Lapka and Taylor Mathews; Rugby Middle School, Jefferson Futch and Joselin Ortiz, and West Henderson High, Scott Harrison Bennett and Gwendolyn D. Kelly.

As in other parts of the world,1,2 we, in Israel, have been impressed by an apparent increase in the incidence of leukemia in recent years.
The immigrant population of Israel, which came in well-defined waves from many different countries mainly after 1948, provides material for the study of the incidence of leukemia in different ethnic groups. Furthermore, the differences in medical sophistication of their countries of origin and the mass-treatment programs linked to specific groups of immigrants make it possible to investigate some of the etiologic factors involved in this disease.
This communication presents observations based on a study of leukemia mortality in Israel during the years 1950-1958 and of 150 consecutive leukemia patients seen at a large central hospital.
Information was obtained from the following 2 sources:
All the certificates of the 718 registered leukemic deaths reported to the Central Bureau of Statistics* during the years

All Rise...
When you think soft rock, think Judge Patrick Naugle.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Michael McDonald: Model. Citizen. (published November 4th, 2010), Michael McDonald: This Christmas (Blu-ray) (published October 6th, 2010), and Michael McDonald: Live in Concert (published January 26th, 2005) are also available.
The Charge
The sweet sounds of a soulful crooner.
The Case
"The Doobie Brothers."
Just the name along conjures up all kinds of images of mellow, relaxing moments for your ears. Many of the Doobie Brothers' songs are instantly recognizable and for good reason—a lot of them had singer Michael McDonald front and center on lead vocals. Instantly recognizable, McDonald's soft rock windpipes could put a baby to sleep in thirty seconds flat. To be clear, this isn't a complaint; the world needs soothing vocals and McDonald's voice is one of the best in the business. With Michael McDonald: A Tribute to Motown / Live, the white haired crooner gives fans exactly what they want: his big hits sung just the way they remember them.
McDonald's career in music has spanned decades, featured in groups like Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers until the early 1980s when he went solo. In his early career, McDonald's songs were everywhere, from movies (including the Billy Crystal/Gregory Hines comedy Running Scared) to duets with some of the industries top female artists to Top 40 smash hits.
As the decades rolled by, the hits stalled but McDonald continued to tour and record (dabbling in films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin and South Park). One of McDonald's recent forays was recording Motown standards, which brings us to Michael McDonald: A Tribute to Motown. Filmed as part of WTTW Chicago's Soundstage series, this 2003 concert featured McDonald's version of some of Motown's best loves songs including:
• "I Second That Emotion"
McDonald's take of each of these classics is vastly different and yet often very familiar; although the songs have been rearranged slightly to bring them up to date, each musical number retains the essence of their original recordings. McDonald's smooth vocals make a lot of these songs soar. I loved hearing his take on Smokey Robinson's bittersweet "Tracks of My Tears" and the late Marvin Gaye's eco-friendly "What's Going On." It's as if McDonald's voice was uniquely created just for these kinds of songs. Although he tends to falter a bit one some of the numbers—I wasn't a big fan of "Nowhere to Run" and "I Second that Emotion"—overall this a very enjoyable concert experience and a nice way to revisit songs that always feel like old friends.
On Michael McDonald: Live viewers are treated to his back catalog as well as solo work. McDonald is backed by some talented session musicians including Bernie Chiaravalle on guitar, Yvette Preyer on drums, Pat Coil on keyboards, Lanice Morrison on the bass, Yvonne Gage, Francine Smith, and Vince Denham on saxaphone and flute, and Simbryt Whittington's background vocals. McDonald even gets help from a string section for a few numbers. The songs included on this concert are:
• "It Keeps You Runnin'
I personally enjoyed this concert slightly more than A Tribute to Motown. While I liked McDonald's take on a lot of the old Motown tunes, I really enjoyed hearing some of McDonald's hits—songs that I didn't even realize I knew, until I heard them on this Blu-ray. "I Keep Forgettin'" is a funky number I recall hearing years ago. Such Doobie Brothers classics as "What a Fool Believes," "Takin' it to the Street," and "Black Water" are a lot of fun. Even some of the songs I didn't recognize ("It Keeps Your Runnin'" and "Minute by Minute") were treats to hear. McDonald's stage persona is never flashy and doesn't divert your attention from the music on hand, something I respect in a musical artist. Fans of McDonald will certainly enjoy this double concert experience. There's a lot of music to listen to here and McDonald's voice hasn't aged a bit since he started in the business.
Both of these concerts are presented in 1.78:1/1080i high definition widescreen, though neither look overly impressive on the Blu-ray format. Up-converted to 1080i, both feature well defined colors and solid black levels. There's nothing impressive in either of these images, but there's also little to complain about. Your soundtracks options are either DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 Surround or LPCM 2.0 Stereo, both aggressive and exciting for fans of the singer. All of the speakers are fully engaged at all times during the concert and the music is crystal clear. No alternate language tracks or subtitles are included.
There are no bonus features.
The Verdict
Michael McDonald: A Tribute to Motown / Live is worth your hard earned money, if you can successfully sing along to any Doobie Brothers songs and keep a straight face.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Michael McDonald: A Tribute to Motown / Live (Blu-ray) a fair trial? yes / no

My client uses a process that uses XMLSS to create XML documents that can be opened in Microsoft Excel. In fact, simply renaming the files to .XLS, will ensure that the documents open in Excel by default. These documents are emailed to our clients. The documents open successfully in for Excel for PC and MAC, as well as OpenOffice (both platforms). It's a pretty nice solution.
The problem is, some of our clients have started attempting to open these documents (for viewing) on their iPhones and iPads (iOS devices), and it doesn't work. We know that iOS devices can open actual Office files, but since our documents are really just XML (and not true Excel files), the viewer on iOS doesn't want to view them. At least that's my guess.
We have played with sending these files with both XML and XLS extensions.
I'm aware of the option of using different techniques for building these documents such that they become true XLS files... but obviously, we're not eager to rewrite the entire application when most of our functionality remains just fine.
Any tips, ideas, suggestions?

With an Italian sensibility designed for the American lifestyle, the stunning sectional boasts deep chocolate bonded leather from top to bottom. But the distinctive appeal comes by way of the ratchet headrests, allowing for customizable comfort. The low-profile design is in keeping with the hottest modern looks, and wide track arms add a sense of heft and geometric interplay. Luggage accent stitching shows attention to design intricacy.

A Modified Noise Shaper Structure for Digital PWM DACs
Accurate, monotonic digital-to-analog converters (DACs) can be made employing digital pulse-width modulation (DPWM), but excessive internal clock speeds require the use of noise shaping to reduce the signal word length. Some pulse-width modulation types introduce amplitude-to-phase conversion, which when used with a noise shaper, can lead to partial signal cancellation. This problem is examined, and modified noise shapers which eliminate this cancellation are proposed. Software simulation is used to compare the performance of the new noise shapers with traditional structures. Results show that the modified noise shaper will eliminate this problem in DPWM DACs which employ noise shaping.

Take control of your health care expenses and save money at the same time. A Health Savings Account (HSA) is designed for people with High Deductible Health Plans.
An HSA is similar to an IRA or 401(k) for medical expenses. If you change jobs or move to another city or state, your HSA can move with you. Find out more today.
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is designed for people with High Deductible Health Plans. It's a complement to traditional health insurance, enabling you to pay for current health expenses and save for future medical expenses on a tax-free basis*. Unlike a flex plan with its "use it or lose it" rule, your HSA money rolls over from one year to the next. Best of all, you own and control the money in your HSA. All decisions on how to spend and/or invest the money in your account are made by you.
Because unused balances in your account roll over from year to year, your account balance may grow. As your contributions and gains increase, you can make tax-free withdrawals* for qualified health care expenses at any time. This is particularly important later in life when your health care costs may be greater. Best of all, even if you never use the money for medical expenses, it stays in your account and can be withdrawn for any purpose after age 65. At that time, you'll pay only income tax on the monies you withdraw for non-health related expenditures.
A $6 monthly maintenance fee is waived when you maintain a $500 minimum balance.
*Qualified HSA contributions are tax deductible, and qualified distributions are tax free. Refer to IRS Publication 502 for a list of tax-free (qualified) medical distributions.
