Notices and Events
ATTN Retirees who receive paper checks:
Checks will be mailed as scheduled on the last business day of the month. Due to the recent change in the State of New Mexico, Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) check printing policies, beginning April 2016, monthly pension checks mailed by the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board (NMERB) will look a little different. Retirees who receive paper checks in the mail will now receive standard-sized paper checks in white window envelopes. This is a change to the format of your paper check only, not a change in the payment process. Be sure to look for our white envelope beginning this month!
This change only affects retirees who receive paper checks. Those retirees who normally receive monthly benefit payments by ACH direct deposit at their bank are not affected.
Effective January 1, 2016, the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board (NMERB) contracted with a third-party administrator, Managed Medical Review Organization, Inc. (MMRO), to review disability applications and supporting medical documentation.
If you are contemplating applying for Disability Benefits, contacting NMERB will be your first step. Once NMERB ensures that you qualify to apply for Disability Benefits, an estimate of benefits will be mailed to you along with the necessary forms for you to complete and return to NMERB. A claims liaison from MMRO will then send you an application for the disability packet and will work with you directly from that point until a final determination on your case has been made.
NMERB Notice of Rule Change

I've been using postie for a while now for several projects. My main concern is poste not posting emails, but rather posts some and deletes some unless the "delete email after posting " is set to no. Even then this doesn't work when the email box get filled with many emails. Also if the option above is set to no, and it reads it, it won't recheck that email because it stands out as "being read". This makes more headaches trying to resend the email catching up to where poste got lazy.
I would fire postie and use another plugin but unfortunatly there are not many plugins out there that can format line breaks with br.
Am I doing something wrong here or are others having similar issues as me.

The hotel is situated at walking distance from the train station in the middle of the new town center.

Hello, I enabled hyper cache. After almost one day I noticed some problems when loading categories pages, or when using the search function.
The pages requested show up broken, not all the HTML is downloaded (or maybe not all the html was cached).
Only refreshing F5 those pages helps, and they load up once again with full html.
Once I disabled the plugin it started to work fine immediately.
P.s. other pages like posts, homepage work fine.
What's wrong?

A Guide to the Wireless Standards
The 802.11 Alphabet
The IEEE 802.11 standards are at the center of the wireless revolution. The wireless alphabet starts with 802.11a and extends to 802.11n. Linux Magazine helps you get your wireless spelling right.
Networking is in, and wires are out. But owners of WLAN-capable laptops are not the only ones who prefer to do without wires. Many households need to connect more than one computer to the Internet; and consumer electronics devices such as stereos or personal video recorders rely increasingly on LAN connectivity. Wireless connectivity is preferable of course, unless you really want to lay network cable across your living room carpet. This trend for wireless is reflected by skyrocketing sales in wireless network equipment. Business is booming for WLAN chip and device manufacturers. In Europe alone, wireless turnover is expected to hit the magical billion dollar mark by 2007. This trend is good for customers, too, as increasing quantities mean rapidly falling prices for WLAN equipment.

Contests enforce resource protection
Published: Monday, August 23, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 22, 2004 at 9:25 p.m.
Education is an important part of promoting soil and water conservation. We are looking forward to the Henderson County Soil and Water Conservation District's 2004-05 Poster, Essay and Speech Contests.
These contests are sponsored by the Henderson County Soil and Water Conservation District in an effort to bring conservation awareness to the youth of Henderson County. We are excited about this year's competition, so be on the lookout for information from teachers.
This year's theme is "The Living Soil." Each student is to create a poster, write an essay or prepare a speech related to this subject matter. The Poster Contest is held for fifth graders, the Essay Contest for sixth graders and the Speech Contest for eighth graders.
After competing against their home school, the students will then compete countywide. The county winners in each contest will then compete areawide against the far western counties of North Carolina. The regional winners compete in the statewide contest.
We will announce each winner as the information becomes available after judging.
Each student who wins the school essay or speech competition receives $10. First place in the Henderson County contests receives $50, second $25 and third $20. The first-place winner in the Poster Contest receives $50, second $20, and third $10. The first-place winner of the area contest will win a $100 savings bond and the second-place winner receives a $50 savings bond. The first-place winner of the statewide contest will win $200 and $100 will be awarded to the second-place winner.
We also provide educational information to non-school residents by participating in Farm City Day, publishing the annual report, providing soil survey information online, publishing a monthly article, conducting an annual tree seedling sale, making field visits and through the Web site at www.henderson.lib.nc.us/county/soil. Call the office for any information or assistance needed in soil and water conservation at 697-4949.
Cheryl C. Bell is the educational coordinator and administrative assistant for the Henderson County Soil and Water Conservation District.

Made this dessert awhile ago and am now getting around to rating it . Excellent, easy and delish. Sent this dessert to my MIL'S birthday, dish came back empty. I have given this recipe out many times. For quick fixen I have used an 9x13 inch baking dish, then just let them scoop it out.
I was really looking forward to making this cake because off all the good reviews and the wonderful photos, but I was really disappointed. We didn't really care for the cake at all. It had a weird jello-y taste to it (I know there was jello in there, but it just tasted really weird). Sorry about the low review. I won't be making it again.
I've made this mold several times since Thanksgiving of 2010, and it's outstanding. Great recipe!
Great recipe and easy to make! I did make homemade angel food cake and used Cool Whip (1 container). Great light refreshing summer dessert!
This went over very well at the church potluck. What was left at the end was scooped up by people making take home plates. Glad I got at least one piece! It was very easy to make and is refreshingly light. I do think I would like the flavor more with Cool Whip (just a personal preference) and will try it that way when I don't have to worry about it separating like other reviewers mentioned. I'm sure I will be making this again!
I love this recipe. I have made it many times for my HUGE family and always have to make it times three to make sure everyone gets enough. The Cool Whip version always seperates after 24 hours and tends to be watery after time. Not that there is often a time where we have leftovers. But I do try to make enough for those late movies after all the grandbabies are asleep. Anyway, the old fashioned homemade whipped cream may take an extra five minutes or so but is well worth the time for such a fantastic dessert!
very easy to make and yummy
Very yummy and easy to make. To cut calories and fat, I used fat free cool whip and no sugar jello, and it was still delicious. I also used fresh strawberries with about 1/4 cup sugar stirred in.
This was so refreshing. We just loved it. I used a 1 1/2 half pound container of frozen strawberries, that's what I had. It came out delicious. I used heavy cream but also put in about 1/2 cup of extra creamy cool whip (to adjust for the extra frozen 1/2 pound of frozen strawberries and juice. Whin I served it, it was ice cold and yummy. Thanks Dojemi for sharing such a super recipe. I am already planning on making this again soon.
Dojemi, Thank you many times over. This is an absolute "dream" dessert! There's no cooking, it makes a beautiful presentation, and the taste is phenomenal! Also, a great big "Thank You" to Chef Dee. I wanted to try Cool Whip in this recipe instead of whipping the cream myself. I didn't know how much Cool Whip to use in lieu of 1 Pint of Heavy Cream. Chef Dee went onto Kraft.com and found the answer for me. How nice is that! Anyway, to use Cool Whip in this recipe, use 4 cups. As far as I know, it did not alter the recipe, as it tasted incredible. I'm actually making another one tomorrow to bring to my father. I know he will love his surprise! A word to all the wonderful people here at "Zaar" -- Try this recipe, you will LOVE it!

4D MRI is an in vivo flow imaging modality which has the potential to significantly enhance diagnostics and therapy of cardiovascular diseases. However, current analysis methods demand too much time and expert knowledge in order to apply 4D MRI in the clinics or larger clinical studies. One missing piece are methods allowing to gain a quick overview of the flow data's main properties. We present a line predicate approach that sorts precalculated integral lines, which capture the complete flow dynamics, into bundles with similar properties. We introduce several streamline and pathline predicates that allow to structure the flow according to various features useful for blood flow analysis, such as, e.g., velocity distribution, vortices, and flow paths. The user can combine these predicates flexibly and by that create flow structures that help to gain overview and carve out special features of the current dataset. We show the usefulness of our approach by means of a detailed discussion of 4D MRI datasets of healthy and pathological aortas.

Missing Persons Report
A common theme runs through many of the new shows that TV networks are rolling out during the winter and spring "midseason": Someone is missing, under mysterious circumstances. It's a motif that has borne fruit in the past. ABC's "Lost," about a group of stranded airplane crash survivors had a devoted following, and audiences followed Fox Mulder's search for his missing sister on "The X-Files" for years. But this season, there's a risk of a glut: How many missing persons can audiences keep track of? (Adding to the potential confusion is NBC's "Are You There, Chelsea?" which is not, in fact, about a missing person.) Here's a look at who's currently M.I.A.
—Monika Anderson
'Alcatraz' (Fox)
Who's Missing: 256 inmates and 56 guards who disappeared from Alcatraz in 1963.
Who's Looking: Present-day San Francisco investigators—the missing criminals and guards ("63s") have started showing up in the present, un-aged.
'The River' (ABC)
Who's Missing: The host of a nature program who goes missing under mysterious circumstances in the Amazon.
Who's Looking: His wife, son, crew members and some of their families, as well as hired guide Captain Kurt Bryndilson. The producer of the nature show and some cameramen document the search.
'The Finder' (Fox)
Who's Missing: A different person or object, every week, on this offshoot of "Bones"—everything from an assistant in a magician's disappearing act to a UFO.
Who's Looking: An Iraq war veteran (Geoff Stults), who was always skilled at finding people and IEDs during the war, believes he developed heightened locating abilities after being hit by an IED himself.
'Missing' (ABC)
Premieres March 15
Who's Missing: An 18-year-old boy who disappears a few weeks into a summer architecture program in Rome.
Who's Looking: His mother Becca Winstone, a retired CIA agent played by Ashley Judd—her husband, also a CIA agent, was assassinated in Vienna leading to her retirement.

Charlie the Ranch Dog (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Meet Charlie.
He's a ranch dog. Breakfast is his life, especially when bacon is involved. Charlie has dangly ears, floppy skin, and big fat paws. And he loves living in the country. That's because he works like a dog...fixing fences, gardening, and helping his family out on the range.
Yep, it's all work, all the time for Charlie the ranch dog. In fact, he's probably working right now...
A ranch dog's work is never done!
Come along as Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman, introduces us to her beloved short-legged pioneer dog named Charlie.
About the Author
Ree Drummond is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier, and The Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays. Ree s beloved website, The Pioneer Woman, was founded in 2006 and showcases her cooking, photography, and anecdotes about country life. Her cooking show, The Pioneer Woman, premiered on Food Network in 2011. Ree loves Ethel Merman songs, Lucille Ball, and The Godfather. She lives on a working cattle ranch in Oklahoma with her husband and four children.
Praise For…
"The comic irony of the text will amuse readers, and Charlie's quirks will win many fans."
-School Library Journal
"Young readers will chuckle at the unabashed, obvious humor and will especially enjoy finding the hidden, unnamed chipmunk buddy on every page."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Adult readers will recognize in Charlie's voice the understated humor that has made Drummond's blog so successful; kids should find it irresistible."
-Publishers Weekly

The company says it will invest "in tools and equipment to support production of future electric vehicle components." So which is it? Are they creating or retaining the jobs? According this report in Crain's Detroit Business, 360 jobs will be created at the plant in Warren, Michigan as a result of the new UAW contract: The company would not say how many of the 418 jobs will be new positions. But a summary of GM's new four-year contract with the UAW said 360 jobs will be added at the plant for a new transmission that originally was to have been built in Mexico. The union said that the jobs were brought to the U.S. as part of the new contract. At this point, GM is not revealing the timing for the project. According to GM, 679 current employees at the plant in Warren make transmissions for the Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and the Chevrolet Malibu sedan. From a GM press release: "This investment in the future recognizes the excellent work force and operation of this plant," said GM Manufacturing Manager Gerald Johnson. "While we aren't sharing many details about this product, I can tell you that this investment demonstrates how GM, working with our UAW partners, continues to innovate and bring new electrification solutions to our customers." The 2.1 million square-foot plant, equivalent to the area of 15 city blocks, produced more than 338,000 transmissions in 2010. "We are very proud of the membership of UAW Local 909 whose hard work and dedication to building quality products is why this new electric drive unit module is being built in the United States," said Joe Ashton, UAW vice president representing the GM Department. "These good paying, middle class jobs are very important for the State of Michigan and the Metro Detroit area. It is the UAW's goal to increase employment at GM and show the world that we can compete with anyone." In Lansing, Michigan, little jubilation over UAW-General Motors deal By Pete Bigelow • Sep 29, 2011 Photo courtesy GM DELTA TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Auto workers at the Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant make some of General Motors' most popular vehicles. The GMC Acadia, Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave are all produced inside this 3.4-million square-foot facility on the outskirts of Lansing, which is Michigan's state capital. In August, when GM announced an 18 percent sales increase from 2010, GMC led the turnaround with a 40.3 percent increase. Chevrolet had gained 15.8 percent. So when contract negotiations began last month, the plant's 3,430 hourly workers expected they'd be sharing in the company's improved position. But when they saw the proposed deal between the United Auto Workers and GM, many members of UAW Local 602 here felt jilted instead. They rejected the deal — a rarity for a contract approved by two-thirds of GM workers nationwide. GM to offer center air bag on 3 models By The Associated Press • Sep 29, 2011 user alins / Flickr DETROIT (AP) - General Motors Co. said Thursday it will install a center air bag on three of its models next year to better protect drivers and front-seat passengers. The new bag inflates from the right side of the driver's seat and is designed to protect people when their vehicles are hit on the opposite side of where they are sitting. They serve as a cushion between a driver and front-seat passenger in a collision, GM said in a statement. The bags will come standard on all Buick Enclave crossover vehicles starting in the 2013 model year, and they'll be on the Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia crossovers that are equipped with power seats. The 2013 models will come out in the fall of 2012. Crossovers are like SUVs but are more efficient because they're built on car underpinnings rather than trucks. GM said in the statement that the center air bags, developed with parts supplier Takata Corp., are the first in the industry. It has plans to put them in more of its models, but the company would not say which ones. GM said it analyzed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's database of fatal auto accidents and found that crashes on the opposite side of where people sit accounted for 11 percent of deaths in non-rollover crashes from 2004 through 2009. The company said it checked crashes involving passengers wearing seat belts in vehicles from the 1999 model year or newer models. The center air bag also is expected to help protect passengers in rollover crashes, the company said. Shares of GM rose 11 cents to $20.52 in morning trading. They are down 38 percent from the November initial public offering price of $33 per share. At auto plants, a reversal of fortune By Kate Davidson • Sep 28, 2011 Kate Davidson / Changing Gears *Editors note - This story by Kate Davidson of Changing Gears was first broadcast last year (September 22, 2010). Now that GM and the UAW have agreed to a new contract that will allow GM to hire more "two-tier" workers (newly hired workers paid a lower wage than traditional workers), we thought we'd bring her story on "two-tier" workers back. As Micki Maynard of Changing Gears points out, only about 4 percent of GM's workforce is "two-tier" now - under the new contract, that number could go up to 25 percent. Listen Listening... / The American Dream is that each generation will do better than the last. But many families of auto workers no longer have that expectation. As Detroit car makers sped towards financial ruin, their union agreed to a dual wage structure, plus deep cuts in benefits. Now, new hires earn about half what traditional workers make. This reversal of fortune has altered their lives. UAW membership approves 4-year deal with GM By Mark Brush • Sep 28, 2011 user santoshkrishnan / Flickr Update - 3:07 p.m. More thoughts on the newly ratified UAW-GM contract from Micky Maynard with Changing Gears: General Motors gave some new details today on its just-ratified agreement with the United Auto Workers union. Among them: up to 25 percent of its workforce could be "two-tiers" — new hires at lower rates than veteran workers. Changing Gears reporter Kate Davidson profiled two-tier workers last year. Right now, they're only 4 percent of GM's workforce, but the auto company clearly has plans for more of them. There's a caveat, though. In order for GM to hire more workers, auto sales have to pick up, company executives said during a conference call with Wall Street analysts. And it isn't promising to hire the same number of workers as it sees sales go up: it will study its staffing needs and hire accordingly. The new contract runs through 2015 and caps the number of "two-tiers" at 25 percent at the end of the contract. It calls for the new hires to get a raise to nearly $20 an hour by 2015 (veteran workers are paid about $28 an hour now). Other GM highlights: The number of people working in its U.S. factories has dropped sharply. GM had 110,000 hourly production workers in 2005, according to its presentation. In 2008, the year before it filed for bankruptcy production, GM had 78,000 U.S. workers. Now, GM has just 49,000 hourly workers, or less than half what it had six years ago. For the first time in 58 years, GM does not expect its pension expense to rise under the new contract. One reason is that newly hired workers will not be covered by GM's traditional pension plan; they will receive a 401(k) retirement program instead. GM says it still has 700 workers laid off from their jobs. They have first dibs on jobs at GM plants, including the workers it plans to hire when it reopens its factory in Spring Hill, Tenn. Once those workers have been offered the chance to come back, then GM will hire new workers, including temporaries. Read more about the GM contract in The New York Times. 1:05 p.m. More from Pete Bigelow of Changing Gears: General Motors became the first domestic automaker to reach an official agreement on a new contract with members of the United Auto Workers union Wednesday afternoon. The UAW said in a written release that 65 percent of production workers and 63 percent of skilled trade workers voted in favor of the agreement, which had been tentatively agreed upon Sept 16. A four-year contract provides a wage increase for entry-level workers, and goes into effect immediately. The agreement would create 6,400 jobs in the United States, the release said. "When it seems like everyone in America is getting cuts in benefits and paying higher co-pays and deductibles, we were able to maintain and improve on our current benefits," said UAW vice president Joe Ashton. GM CEO Dan Akerson is expected to hold a conference call with Wall Street analysts at 2 p.m. 12:37 p.m. The deal is complete. UAW members officially ratified their contract with General Motors. From the Detroit Free Press: The UAW said today that its members have ratified a new four-year labor agreement with GM that gives workers a $5,000 signing bonus and is expected to preserve or add 6,400 U.S. jobs. It is the first contract for 48,500 GM hourly workers since the automaker's 2009 bankruptcy and restructuring. The union said the vote was 65% in favor of the agreement among production workers, and 63% in favor among skilled-trades workers. Moody's considers GM credit rating upgrade By The Associated Press • Sep 22, 2011 user paul (dex) / Flickr DETROIT (AP) - Moody's Investors Service is considering upgrading General Motors Co.'s credit ratings based on improvements in its finances and the expected ratification of a new contract with the United Auto Workers union. GM currently has a Ba2 corporate family rating and a Baa3 secured credit rating from Moody's. Both are several notches below investment grade. GM lost its investment-grade ratings in 2005, when it was losing billions of dollars. GM and the UAW reached a tentative agreement on a new contract last week. Workers are expected to finish voting on it by next Thursday. Moody's said that after an initial review, it expects the contract would let GM remain competitive in North America. The deal would pay workers a $5,000 ratification bonus and profit-sharing checks, but it helps GM lower costs by not giving annual raises to most workers and offering buyouts to clear out older, more expensive workers. "A critical issue in our review is whether the new contract will preserve's GM's new-found competitiveness and support its ability to contend with increasing volatility in the global economy," said Bruce Clark, a senior vice president at Moody's. Moody's review also will consider GM's long-term commitment to the discipline it has adopted since its 2009 government bailout and bankruptcy. Moody's said it will look at whether GM will continue to limit production and incentives, improve quality and limit acquisitions and shareholder returns in order to strengthen liquidity. GM's stock fell 72 cents, or 3.4 percent, to $20.56 during a broader-market selloff. The Standard & Poor's 500 was down 3 percent in late morning trading. Details of UAW's new contract with GM emerge By Mark Brush & Sarah Hulett • Sep 20, 2011 gmmedia.com Update 2:31 pm: This story was clarified at 2:00 pm to say that the $5,000 bonus was for ratification of the contract. Pay raises for entry-level workers, five-thousand dollar bonuses for ratification, and better profit sharing. Those are among the highlights of the four-year contract local UAW leaders will recommend to General Motors' 48,500 hourly workers. UAW President Bob King says the union bargained a "great framework" for all three Detroit automakers. "They're in different states of financial health, different states of debt. We're hoping that this country bounces back and the European situation gets resolved – they all could be impacted by that. And we think we've got an agreement that helps us get through those periods of time, because we didn't add many fixed costs to this agreement." The tentative contract promises to add or save 6,400 workers. Nine hundred of those are at Michigan plants. It also provides for a $5,000 dollar ratification bonus, and raises for entry-level workers. UAW President Bob King says those workers will also see generous health care provisions – including free emergency room and urgent care visits. "What worker being hired at any employer today starts out with the kind of health care plan that workers hiring into General Motors will have? What workers have unlimited doctor visits, $25 co-pay? Nobody." The contract also calls for $10,000 dollar bonuses for eligible employees who retire in the next two years. Skilled tradesmen who retire between November First and the end of March would qualify for additional $65,000 bonuses. Ratification is expected at the end of next week. Michigan Radio's Sarah Hulett is at the United Auto Worker's press conference in Detroit today. She's reporting on some details of the UAW's new contract with General Motors: Entry level wages will be bumped up to $19.28/hr over the life of the contract plus a $5,000 ratification bonus. Unlimited doctor appointments with $25 co-pay. $10,000 bonus for eligible employees who retire within the next two years. Additional $65,000 bonus for skilled trades who retire between November 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012. Jobs will be added in Michigan at facilities in Warren, Saginaw and Romulus. UAW President Bob King says the next target for negotiations has not yet been determined. From the Associated Press: Union leaders from General Motors factories around the country have endorsed a new four-year contract with the company. They are recommending that GM's 48,500 factory workers approve the deal in votes during the next week. The agreement reached Friday includes a $5,000 signing bonus and improved profit-sharing instead of hourly pay raises for most of the workers. About 2,400 entry-level workers will get raises. They now make $14 to $16 per hour, about half the pay of a longtime UAW worker. Profit-sharing will be a minimum of $3,500 next year. The union now will focus on negotiations with Chrysler, and Ford will be next. Since Chrysler isn't making as much money as GM, workers there probably won't see as good of a deal. GM, UAW to announce details of tentative contract on Tuesday By Tracy Samilton • Sep 19, 2011 General Motors Contract talks between the United Auto Workers and Chrysler and Ford continue this week, after GM became the first to settle on the terms of a tentative agreement with the union, late Friday. Officials with the union and the automaker will release details of the contract on Tuesday at an 11:00 a.m. press conference. The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press report that the GM contract probably includes a signing bonus for workers if they agree to the deal, and a pay increase for entry-level workers. Plus, GM is expected to agree to add more jobs in the U.S. GM to cut production of pickup trucks next month By Mark Brush • Aug 26, 2011 Tino Rossini / Flickr Disappointing economic data seems to be rolling in more frequently these days. The U.S. economy grew "a meager 1 percent" from April through July (a downgrade from an earlier 1.3 percent estimate), and unemployment numbers show no signs of improving (here's a cartoon of people looking for work in downtown Portland). Now, news of cuts in production at GM. From the Associated Press: General Motors is cutting its production of pickup trucks next month, a sign that truck sales aren't as robust as the company had hoped. A GM spokesman says the company cancelled five scheduled overtime shifts on Saturdays in September and October. He didn't know how many vehicles would be involved, but the Flint, Mich., plant where the pickups are made can produce 900 trucks per day. Full-size pickup truck sales were up 9 percent for the year through July in the U.S., compared with a year earlier, according to Autodata Corp. But that increase was smaller than the industry saw as a whole. Continuing weakness in the housing and construction sectors has dampened demand for trucks. Sales of the Chevrolet Silverado, GM's best-selling truck, were up 7 percent. A-123 may hire more in Livonia after getting big GM contract By Tracy Samilton • Aug 11, 2011 More jobs building batteries could be on the way at A-1-2-3's factory in Livonia. The company just won a big contract with General Motors. A-123 builds batteries for hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles. The company recently hired its thousandth employee at the Livonia plant, and the new contract will likely mean more jobs in the future, perhaps hundreds more jobs. But General Motors is not revealing anything about the kind of vehicles it will put the A-123 batteries in, or where those vehicles will be sold. GM is less complicated and less wasteful, investors told By Tracy Samilton • Aug 9, 2011 General Motors executives says the company is becoming less complicated, and less wasteful, than it was in the past. GM CEO Dan Akerson says that simplicity -- along with a "fortress" balance sheet, and a lower cost structure will help GM break even in bad times, and make money in good times. Akerson and other top executives gave investors an in-depth briefing of the company's post-bankruptcy progress and plans for the long-term future. GM has reduced its brands in the U.S to four, will focus on Chevrolet and Cadillac as its primary global brands, and will use regional brands such as Opel to help the company compete in specific markets like Germany. GM's drastically reduced debt load also frees the company to follow through with product plans. In the past, the company had to abandon car programs during recessions because of the pressing need to make debt payments. "We think, just on cancelled product programs, we've probably blown a billion dollars a year in the last few years, as a result of having to pull back from things we'd already started," said Chief Financial Officer Dan Ammann. GM regained its number one global sales position in the first six months of this year. But Akerson says being number one is not the goal. He says GM must make the customer the first priority. And GM will focus on profitability, not market share. GM's head of global marketing Joel Ewanick said GM will also set its sights on a new "stretch" challenge: being the first automaker to get one of its brands on the list of the top twenty-five most recognized global brands. That list includes a number of U.S. brands, including Apple and Coca-Cola. But no car company's brand has yet made it onto the list. GM may ask for (and get) pay-for-performance clause in UAW contract By Tracy Samilton • Aug 5, 2011 General Motors A top GM executive said Thursday that the automaker wants to peg United Auto workers' pay to their job performance. Workers who turn out quality vehicles would benefit financially. "We want to pay for the performance," GM North American President Mark Reuss told reporters at an industry conference. "All of those things that I get measured on, I want everybody else measured on, too." That would be a big change at GM, where the current UAW contract expires Sept. 14. GM makes 2.5 billion in profit in the second quarter By Tracy Samilton • Aug 4, 2011 James Marvin Phelps / Wikimedia Commons General Motors made $2.5 billion in the second quarter. That's slightly more than GM's cross-town rival, Ford Motor Company made in the same period. Ford made $2.4 billion. But both companies are forecasting a dip in profitability in the second half of this year. Most of GM's second quarter profit came from North America, as truck and Chevrolet brand car sales rebounded. North American President Mark Reuss says the strong performance came despite the slow economy and some unexpected events. "I didn't think the debt ceiling crisis was going to happen, " Reuss told reporters at an annual auto industry conference in Traverse City. "I didn't think the tsunami was going to happen, all those things you don't know what's going to happen. But if you've got a business and an operational model that can handle it and adapt quickly, then I think that's the key." General Motors may have beaten analysts' expectations, but the company is not yet meeting investors' expectations. This is GM's sixth quarterly profit in a row, a dramatic improvement compared to the years leading up to the bankruptcy. GM, Ford, Chrysler all increase sales in July By The Associated Press & Michigan Radio Newsroom • Aug 2, 2011 Spacing Magazine / Flickr Update: GM sales rose almost 8% in July, while Ford sales rose 8.9% and Chrysler sales increased 20.1%. From the Detroit Free Press: The Detroit Three saw U.S. sales increase in July and gained market share, as a troubling economy and weeks of worries about the U.S. debt ceiling continued to hamper a recovery in auto sales. Chrysler had its best July since 2007 to lead Detroit's automakers with a 20.1% surge, off a 33% gain in sales to individual customers. General Motors' U.S. sales rose 7.6% last month and Ford's grew 8.9%. Japanese automakers continued to lose share to their American rivals as they recovered from the March earthquake and tsunami in their country. GM forecast July industrywide sales of light cars and trucks were flat from the previous year and slightly better than June. Consumers stayed out of showrooms amid news of climbing unemployment and bitter debate over raising the U.S. debt ceiling to prevent the country from defaulting on its loans tonight. President Barack Obama signed legislation today to prevent that scenario after the Senate approved the bill. * Original post: From the Associated Press: General Motors says its U.S. sales rose nearly 8 percent last month, led by fuel-efficient vehicles such as theChevrolet Cruze car. Lawsuit says GM failed to fix thousands of Impalas By The Associated Press • Jul 5, 2011 user bull-doser / wikimedia commons DETROIT (AP) - A lawsuit claims General Motors Co. fixed a defective part on police versions of the Chevrolet Impala but didn't correct the same problem in hundreds of thousands of other Impalas. The class-action lawsuit, filed last week in Detroit, says 2007 and 2008 model-year Impalas have defective spindle rods, which connect the suspension to the rear wheels. The defect misaligns the wheels, which makes the tires wear out faster. According to the lawsuit, GM told dealers to replace the spindle rods and tires on affected police vehicles. It also authorized dealers to reimburse police who had purchased replacement tires. But the suit says GM didn't offer the same remedy to non-police owners. The company sold 423,000 Impalas from those model years. A GM spokesman was not immediately available to comment Tuesday. GM and Ford sales rise in June as gas prices sink By Vincent Duffy • Jul 1, 2011 wikimedia commons UPDATE: General Motors and Ford both saw U-S sales rise more than 10 percent in June as lower gas prices brought more customers into its showrooms. The fuel efficient Fiesta and Focus drove sales for Ford. The new Chevrolet Cruze compact led GM's sales gain. Cruze sales were more than double those of the old Chevrolet Cobalt. Don Johnson is the Vice President of U-S sales operations for General Motors. He says sales were led by smaller, more fuel-efficient models. Original story: General Motors says its U.S. sales rose 10 percent in June as lower gas prices brought more customers into its showrooms. The Detroit car company says it sold 215,000 cars and trucks last month. Don Johnson, the Vice President of U.S. sales operations for General Motors, says sales were led by smaller, more fuel-efficient models: "What drove our success this month, as well as the last couple of months, is our ability to meet the needs of the consumers as they go looking for more fuel efficient vehicles," said Johnson. The new Chevrolet Cruze compact led GM's sales gain. Cruze sales were more than double those of the old Chevrolet Cobalt. GM's small-car sales were helped by earthquake-related shortages of Japanese cars.

GM can't tell U.S. Treasury when to sell its stock, says top exec By Tracy Samilton • Jun 3, 2011 media.gm.com President Obama will visit a Chrysler plant in Ohio today, a day after the U.S. Treasury reached a deal to sell its remaining 6.6% stake in Chrysler to Fiat. Meanwhile, the Treasury still owns 26% of General Motors. But GM North American President Mark Reuss says it's up to the U.S. Treasury to decide when to get out of the car business completely. Reuss says the government's part-ownership of GM matters to American taxpayers and customers. It also matters to GM executives and workers. But it's not up to GM when the Treasury sells its stock. General Motors to add 2,500 jobs at Detroit-area factory By The Associated Press • May 25, 2011 user paul (dex) / Flickr LANSING, Mich. (AP) - General Motors Co. will add 2,500 jobs at a Detroit-area factory that now makes electric cars, investing $69 million so the plant can make two new Chevrolet sedans. The factory, which straddles the border between Detroit and the small enclave of Hamtramck, now makes the Chevrolet Volt and its European counterpart, the Opel Ampera. But GM announced on Wednesday that it will upgrade the factory so that it can run around the clock making the new Malibu midsize car and a revamped version of the aging Impala large sedan. About 1,200 of the jobs will be new hires, since GM still has to recall about 1,300 laid-off workers in the U.S. But in Michigan, which has among the highest unemployment rates in the nation, 1,200 new jobs is big news. GM announced on May 10 that it would create or keep about 4,000 jobs by investing $2 billion in 17 factories in eight states. The Detroit-Hamtramck announcement adds to previous expansion announcements in Bowling Green, Ky.; Toledo, Ohio; and Flint and Bay City, Mich. "Filling this plant with new work is very satisfying because GM is dedicated to helping rebuild this city," Mark Reuss, the company's North American president, said in a statement. GM said last week it would shut the plant down for four weeks starting in June, reconfiguring it to increase Volt and Ampera production from 16,000 cars per year to 60,000 next year in order to meet strong demand. The shutdown also will let GM add equipment to build the 2013 Malibu midsize sedan at the plant starting next year. The car also will be built in Kansas City, Kansas. In addition, GM said it will build a long-overdue new version of the Impala at the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM will stop producing two other big cars at the factory, the Cadillac DTS and Buick Lucerne, later this year. State incentives lead to GM's investment in Warren Tech Center By Mark Brush • May 18, 2011 State tax breaks worth $10 million are leading to an investment in GM's Warren Tech Center. Warren Mayor Jim Fouts indicated an announcement like this would be coming last month. From the Detroit News: General Motors Co. won $10 million in tax incentives from the state today to build a new information technology facility at its Warren Tech Center. The $130 million project — expected to create about 25 permanent jobs — will add on to the Cadillac Building on the campus and occupy about 30-acres of land located along Van Dyke Avenue. The new jobs will pay an average of $44 an hour, according to the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. The brownfield tax credits valued at $10 million were approved this morning by the Michigan Economic Growth Authority board. The state brownfield tax credits involved in this deal won't be around for long. In Governor Snyder tax overhaul plan, approved by state legislators, the tax credits will be replaced with a system that will grant redevelopment money up front. GM will (possibly) hire new workers as its invests in U.S. plants By Tracy Samilton • May 10, 2011 General Motors has announced it will invest a total of $2 billion in 17 of its U.S. plants.

I'd like to know how to create an infinite, impure sequence of unique values in Clojure.
(def generator ...) ; def, not defn
(take 4 generator) ; => (1 2 3 4)
(take 4 generator) ; => (5 6 7 8). note the generator's impurity.
I think that such a design could be more convenient than e.g. wrapping a single integer value into a reference type and increment it from its consumers, as:
- The proposed approach reduces the implementation details to a single point of change: the generator. Otherwise all the consumers would have to care about both the reference type (
atom), and the concrete function that provides the next value (
- Sequences can take advantage many clojure.core functions. 'Manually' building a list of ids out of an atom would be a bit bulky:
(take 4 (repeatedly #(swap! _ inc)))
I couldn't come up with a working implementation. Is it possible at all?

- Events
Olanna (Thandie Newton) and Kainene (Anika Noni Rose) are glamorous twins from a wealthy Nigerian family. Upon returning to a privileged city life in newly independent 1960s Nigeria after their expensive English education, the two women make very different choices. Olanna shocks her family by going to live with her lover, the "revolutionary professor" Odenigbo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and his devoted houseboy Ugwu (John Boyega) in the dusty university town of Nsukka; Kainene turns out to be a fiercely successful businesswoman when she takes over the family interests, and surprises even herself when she falls in love with Richard (Joseph Mawle), an English writer. Preoccupied by their romantic entanglements, and a betrayal between the sisters, the events of their life seem to loom larger than politics. However, they become caught up in the events of the Nigerian civil war, in which the lgbo people fought an impassioned struggle to establish Biafra as an independent republic, ending in chilling violence which shocked the entire world.

"This card turned out beautifully. The edge-cut option made it stand out, the simple yet distinctive lettering drew just the right amount of attention to the text without distracting from the picture, which we wanted to be the focal point of the card. I wished the back side had allowed for a somewhat bigger single photo with a brief caption (the year, maybe), but that wasn't one of the options and it wasn't a dealbreaker for me."
"I loved the way the picture took up the whole card with cheerful overprinting of text. In combination with the animated expressions on my grandsons' faces, the text gave the perfect enthusiastic greeting."
"I wanted the card that said Joy & Cheer, but could only make New Year Cheer come up. That was fine and we love the card."
"As usual with Tinyprints, the quality of this card is exceptional. I was extremely happy with it and the turn around time was unbelievable. I ordered on a Sunday and it was on my doorstep on Tuesday. I ordered the blue version with the traditional rectangle shape and the solid blue back with three captioned pics. It looks fantastic! Almost too good to be true for the price, but that's why I love this company and order from them regularly. Also, I can't say enough about the customer service at Tinyprints. From my experience, It is one of the best companies for putting the customer first and making sure you are satisfied. I have been a customers for years and anytime I have had a problem with a finished product, the issue is resolved and a replacement immediately sent. And...they don't send my call out of the country and keep me on the phone for hours haggling over it. They are courteous, professional and efficient."
"The combination of the black card with Tiny Prints' text, paper, and edge recommendations added to the elegance of this card. Kept it simple with 1 photo on the front, and 1 small photo on the back, as to not overshadow the beautiful card design. Extremely pleased with the quality, design, and customization."

The 22" x 27" Oval Grip Tight Tray from Update International is an excellent choice for a small, durable serving tray. Serving trays are an important tool in any restaurant or bar. This tray shines above standard serving trays in no small part because it features a non-slip coating to make sure that bar glasses, dishes or whatever else might be on the tray stays there and doesn't slip off onto the floor possibly breaking and costing you money. The tray is oval in shape, measures 22 inches wide by 27 inches long and is perfectly suited for the extra large jobs. This tray is available in two colors: Black (GT-2700BK) and Brown (GT-2700BR).

Light Reading commissioned EANTC with a validation of the Virtualized Service Router (VSR) and the Virtualized Mobile Gateway (VMG).
We broadly tested an operator's ability to use the controller's holistic view, driven by graphical user interface, as well as REST APIs, to set, modify and optimize network paths.
We tested the performance and scalability of the Ensemble Connector platform, a CPE virtual switch coupled with an Intel® Atom™-based virtualization (NFV) platform.
We presented the results live in Paris, March 8-11. Everybody who was not able to join us has now the chance to download the white paper from our homepage.
We carry out test sessions, complemented by consulting and training for our customers. Our service provides you with objective facts you can trust in when making your decisions.
Our expert advice will give you a significant advantage in enhancing the confidence of your customers and partners. We place great emphasis on ensuring our work is of the highest quality.

Napoleon was born in 1769 in Corsica, an island off the Southern coast of continental France (France map). Napoleon became French Emperor on December 2nd 1804 (picture).
By 1810, he had conquered most of continental Europe.
These impressive achievements were made possible by the new opportunities opened by the 1789 French revolution and by Napoleon's incredible military skills and charism.
Napoleon was ultimately defeated in 1815 by English General Wellington (picture) at Waterloo, Belgium.
On May 5th 1821, Napoleon died in Saint Helena, an island in the Atlantic Ocean. Victorious England had exiled him there, very far away from France.
Napoleon stayed so popular that Louis-Philippe (picture), the King of France, returned his ashes in 1840. His ashes mean his remains. Napoleon was not cremated. His ashes now rest under the dome of Les Invalides in Paris.
Les Invalides are open from 10am to 5pm, 6pm from April to September. Telephone 33 (0)8 10 11 33 99. More information on Les Invalides.
You can discover Les Invalides on a guided coach tour.
Paris metro: Varenne station on line 13.
Napoleon spent most of his life on battlefields or in Paris, the capital of France. His memory can best be felt today in Arc de Triomphe, Les Invalides and the castles of Fontainebleau, Compiegne, La Malmaison.
La Malmaison was bought by Josephine (picture), Napoleon's first wife, in 1799. It became the nest of their romance and a center of political life until their divorce in 1809. Visit La Malmaison on a coach tour from Paris.

A Bill to Kill Fine Wine in New York
Thanks to the state's great retailers, auction houses and restaurants New York is one of the world's great wine markets. Enjoy it while you can, New Yorkers. A pernicious new bill has been introduced in Albany which would effectively end the golden age of New York wine appreciation, sharply reduce competition, and decrease state tax revenues for the benefit of the state's largest wholesalers. This anti-competitive, revenue-reductive bill, No. A06884, is being introduced by the New York State Committee on Economic Development. You can view the particulars here.
For those who don't have the time to read the fine print, let me summarize. Basically, under the guise of protecting you from counterfeit wine, New York is about to turn over control of an already heavily regulated market to a few powerful wholesalers. Counterfeit wine is only a problem at the highest end of the fine and rare wine market, and the auction houses and the top domains are developing strategies to deal with the issue. A few wealthy collectors buy questionable '45 Mouton every year, but this hardly seems a reason to overhaul the entire market.
Econ 101 tells us what happens when competition is restricted; prices go up and consumer choice goes down. No longer will New York restaurants be able to source wines from auctions and private collectors to bring you a wide variety of the world's finest and rarest wine. Plus, your New York retailer will now be at the mercy of the wholesalers. Looking for a bottle of '89 Rayas, or even '09 Trimbach Clos St. Hune? You will be unlikely to find them in New York if this law passes. Savvy consumers like you and me will naturally take their business to states like California and Illinois. Of course, this will reduce sales tax revenues for the state. One can't help wondering why the legislature would want to do that. And our retail businesses and restaurants will suffer significant loss of revenue.
If you are a wine-loving New Yorker, you might want to contact your state legislator before this disastrous bill becomes law.

11 reviews | 3.3 out of 5
I was so excited about the features that this phone was supposed to come with. Unlocked, with all the bells and whistles, 79.99. Yes!!! Well, the 1st issue I noticed was: the battery life (I purchased it for my husband who is a trucker, so a decent amount of talk/standby time is a must-have) whether I was using the phone or not, standby time included was far from the advertised 9h, more like an hour an a half tops. Using the apps only made it worse. I literally had to shut it down to keep the battery from discharging so fast. I think the clock that came loaded on the home screen is what ran it down so fast, the device reported that it was using 94% battery availability.
2nd main issue I had was: Sound quality was muffled and unclear. What good is a cell phone u cant hear on??
Third issue: tried to call customer srv , and voicemail stayed full. serious???? Emailed BLU, the manufacturer, no answer.
One pro: downloads were easy and accessible, but programs just kept starting up and running without prompting! and most of them had no way to end/exit the program. what the?????
it was our 1st smartphone purchase, and I made sure I purchased from Wal-Mart because in the past it has proven to be a trusted seller, but Wally Mart needs to make sure what they advertise about a product is true to form, so customers don't have to go thru the frustration of returns and re-selection, and it disappointed me because I thought I could purchase worry free from them.
I hope this helps.
The phone presents itself nicely and works well on wireless, but it is terrible with anything but the strongest cell signals. It is unusable at my home, for example, but my spouse's Samsung Galaxy is able to connect to the same service. Generally speaking this phone works well outside but is stymied by walls -- unless the signal is very strong in the vicinity.
The description is completely wrong the phone has and does none of the things it is supposed to do. Seems very cheaply made and very slow. Can only have one or two apps on it before it is out of memory even with the card in it. Only has rear camera and it's only 5 megapixels. Takes horrible pictures. Does not have swype on it. The keyboard on the touch screen does not work very well and is very small. The touch screen seems to have dead spots. Bad phone and would not recommend to anyone. I factory reset it the same day and returned it.
I specifically wanted a GSM phone that offered 'hotspot' capability and all the phones I came across were in excess of $200. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this phone on walmart.com, but evevn more pleasantly surprised once I got the device and started using it. This phone has a lot of great features at an even greater price!
this is my third cell phone in all and i love this one the most. mainly because of the battery life, i can go days without charging it up. i hated stalking cords and outlets where ever i go. i went 2 days and it was still at 98% and that was with occasional daily use. im told the phone will run on stand by for like some 300 days! awesome! has all the standard features email, touch screen and so on, dual sim card slots. cons: there is no flash on the camera and the base ram is a little tight. i cant say I'm a cell phone guru so it may be files that are installable on my memory card but i've only found a few that were moveable.
Specification of cellphone is good but internal storage too small.
I thought it will have a camera flash and I thought it will have video chat but it don't work. So I don't know what should I do about keeping this phone.
I was never expecting a dual sim. I will like to return it please
this is awesome and i am glad

Sandrine and Natalie work at a strip club; Natalie performs an erotic act on stage while Sandrine serves drinks. After they are both fired, the two become roommates and Natalie begins training Sandrine in the art of the courtesan. Erotic lessons on how to 'pleasure' oneself and others, how to seduce and not be seduced, public nudity and sex, and the art of the fake orgasm are all part of their plan to take on the world of men.

Just a quick question,
How do you update the database, after you've already installed 2.5?
I installed 2.5 on a new testing sub-domain, copied the database over fine via phpMyAdmin... but the copy of WP that it is copied from is an older version. When I log into WP, it doesn't register the entries - I'm assuming because I need to upgrade the database. How...?
Thanks! :)
