press release
All the forecasts agree: the number of vehicles manufactured worldwide will continue to increase, and traffic density with it. Nonetheless, a raft of measures introduced over the past few years have succeeded in significantly reducing the number of road deaths in the established markets. Bosch has played a major role in this development, with the electronically controlled antilock braking system in 1978, with electronic airbag control in 1980, and with the electronic stability program in 1995. All of these are traffic-safety milestones, and each made its market debut as a Bosch product.
The driving force behind any further developments is vision zero, the goal of completely eradicating road accidents. Injuries should be a thing of the past, and ideally there should be no accidents at all. Along with ever more widespread use of ABS and ESP, increasingly powerful assistance systems from Bosch are facilitating these efforts to bring about injury-free, and ultimately accident-free driving and increasing comfort and fuel-efficiency at the same time. Examples include ACC adaptive cruise control, predictive emergency braking systems, and lane-keeping assistants. Very soon, these systems will completely take over individual driving tasks. Bosch is developing these functions and supplying the necessary technology in the form of products such as the new iBooster brake booster, a stereo-video sensor, and a Linux-based multimedia unit.
In the years ahead, a major factor influencing the spread of safety-enhancing functions in Europe will be Euro NCAP's new rating scheme. Starting in 2014, it will only award five stars if at least one assistance function is on board. And from 2016, comprehensive predictive pedestrian protection will be mandatory if this rating is to be awarded. More precisely, it will only be awarded if at least every second vehicle sold actually has this safety technology on board. Just having it available as an extra is not enough. The U.S. and Japan have now also begun to discuss integrating similar criteria into their NCAP regulations. Bosch has all the stipulated systems in its portfolio: both predictive emergency braking and functions that help drivers stay in their lane or warn them when they are exceeding the speed limit.
But Bosch's portfolio of assistance functions goes much further. For example, our ultrasound-based parking assistant can already independently guide cars into a parking space. All drivers have to do is accelerate and brake. Soon, even this will be assumed by the system, and two years from now drivers will be able to control the entire maneuver standing outside the car, using their smartphone. The way forward is also clear for lane-keeping assistance. We are developing a construction zone assistant, for example, that makes slight adjustments to steering based on information provided by the stereo-video camera, allowing it to pilot the car precisely between the central barrier on the one side and trucks on the other. 2014 will already see the series start of the Bosch traffic jam assistant. This can take control in freeway traffic jams slowing or bringing the vehicle to a stop, accelerating, and automatically steering within the vehicle's lane. It works at speeds up to 50 kilometers per hour, which means that it covers typical stop and go traffic situations. Looking further ahead, these functions will come to include ever higher speeds and more complex driving situations. Eventually, we will have a highway pilot that allows completely automated driving.
Systems supplier with expertise in all areas
Like scarcely any other automotive supplier in the world, Bosch is driving the realization of these assistance functions forward. Comprehensive expertise in powertrains, braking systems, and steering is complemented by a complete portfolio of sensors. In our ZF Lenksysteme GmbH joint venture, we develop electrical steering systems that are available for all classes of passenger car and can be flexibly adjusted to the vehicle requirements of different manufacturers. More than 35 million of these electric steering systems are currently in use in all types of vehicles around the world.
And we are also further improving our braking technology. This year, for example, will see the launch of a true innovation in the form of the iBooster, an electromechanical brake booster that works without a vacuum. It is electronically controlled and designed for any vehicles that coast a lot or drive purely electrically either for a limited distance or all the time and whose motors thus no longer create any vacuum. But driver assistance also benefits from this new technology. The iBooster boosts the driver's braking pressure by means of an electric motor. As a result, pressure can be built up nearly three times faster than in pneumatic solutions. Thanks to its electronic control, it can also be controlled far more precisely. This is a great advantage for emergency braking functions, as well as for gentle automatic braking in stop and go traffic, where pressure has so far been built up using the ESP pump. If automakers' models offer a choice of different driving modes, individual pedal characteristics can be defined for each. Moreover, and especially importantly for comfort functions, the iBooster works almost noiselessly and practically without any vibration. It rounds out our modular range for braking systems, with which we can offer the right solution for any vehicle from compact cars to premium-class plug-in hybrids. Since the system continues to have direct mechanical control over the brakes, in conjunction with Bosch ESP it offers the system redundancy necessary for automated vehicles.
Bosch also has a comprehensive range of braking control systems for motorcycles. The basic systems can be supplemented by a traction control that provides dynamism and safety on loose surfaces such as gravel. At the end of 2013, a motorcycle stability control will go into series production. Designed for high-performance bikes, its ABS control also takes account of riders leaning into bends. In terms of numbers, the greatest potential for improving motorcycle safety exists in emerging markets such as India. To this end we have developed a cost-effective ABS which controls the front wheel exclusively, and which will also be available from this year.
Bosch has wide-ranging sensors expertise
But let's return to the car, and specifically to sensors. Ever since 2000, Bosch has been producing high-performance radar sensors that measure distance to the vehicles ahead as well as their relative speed. In early 2013, we manufactured our one-millionth radar sensor, which uses the 77-gigahertz frequency band. But while it took 13 years to reach the first million, the two-millionth sensor will roll off the production lines in just over a year. We are currently starting production of a cost-effective mid-range radar sensor. It also uses the 77-gigahertz frequency band, which has been permanently allocated to automotive applications worldwide. Compared with the more common 24-gigahertz versions, the 77-gigahertz sensor offers improved vehicle distance measurement, can distinguish between objects much better, and is extremely compact. The sensor also provides the basis for ACC adaptive cruise control at speeds of up to 150 kilometers per hour, as well as for emergency braking systems. When mounted in the rear of a vehicle, it monitors the blind spot and warns the driver of approaching traffic when backing out of a parking spot.
A further important product for improving road safety is our stereo-video sensor, which we will be adding to our multi-purpose camera in 2014. Thanks to its combination of two optical elements, it will offer fast and accurate 3D measurement of objects from over 50 meters away. As the first supplier, we are achieving improved pedestrian protection on the basis of this sensor alone. It also makes other new functions possible, for example the construction zone assistant I mentioned earlier. All the safety functions demanded by Euro NCAP can be achieved economically using this sensor. With a 12 centimeter baseline distance, that is the distance between the optical axes of the lenses, the Bosch stereo camera is the most compact system of its kind currently available in the field of automotive solutions. As a result, it is particularly simple for automakers to integrate into their vehicles in a visually appealing way.
We are also further improving the already widely-used ultrasound sensors for parking assistance. In comparison with its predecessor, our current fifth generation reads more accurately, is more compact, and can more easily be integrated into other control units, such as the body computer. Then there are our wide-angle video cameras that show drivers every detail of the area to the rear of the car. Finally, we are working on multi-camera systems that present drivers with a distortion-free, high-quality bird's-eye view of their car and its direct surroundings a great help when maneuvering. In a next step, the video systems will not only show the pictures they record but also interpret them. Powerful software will analyze the video sequences and detect obstacles and moving objects in the vicinity of the car. The system can then warn the driver in a timely manner and engage the brake if necessary.
A different kind of sensor: the electronic horizon
The navigation system rounds out the list of sensors. This system does not sense its immediate environment, but instead analyzes its digital map data and the vehicle's expected route to create the electronic horizon a detailed, far-sighted preview of the road ahead, which in the coming years will be expanded with data on bends, gradients, and lanes. Existing functions can be further improved with this information:
- The navigation can recommend particularly energy-efficient routes, and in the case of electric vehicles, can calculate the remaining range with considerably improved precision. This can reduce fuel consumption by roughly 10 percent in vehicles with internal-combustion engines, depending on the road network.
- Speed-limiting elements, such as city limits, bends, and speed limit restrictions are also included in the route guidance. By identifying a change in gradient several hundred meters ahead, the system can advise drivers to take their foot off the accelerator at exactly the right moment to reduce their speed as much as possible without braking. This by itself can lead to a reduction in fuel consumption of around 7 percent. When the vehicle also coasts down gradients with its engine stopped, the savings can reach 15 percent.
- In addition to assisting drivers by providing them with important information, this data also benefits automatic assistance functions. In 2012, Mercedes-Benz started series production of a predictive cruise control in heavy long-distance trucks. In accordance with the road gradient, the function automatically regulates speed within a tolerance range in order to reduce fuel consumption. Bosch supplies the electronic horizon complete with its control unit.
Connectivity cars going online
The more comprehensive driver assistance becomes, the more important predictive information will be. The driver assistance systems of the future will need reliable, up-to-the minute data. We are currently setting up the necessary infrastructure to collect this data. This infrastructure collects information gathered by smartphones and vehicle sensors, analyzes it on an central server, and uses it to supplement navigation maps. One example is our MyDriveAssist iPhone app. As a vehicle drives along, all the traffic signs that are recognized by the smartphone's camera are displayed to the driver and also uploaded anonymously to a central server in the cloud. When the verified information is transmitted back to the car and shared with its electronic horizon, a number of functions can be further improved. By crowd sourcing traffic data, we fulfill one of the technological requirements for the highly-automated driving functions of the future. Eventually, cars will be able to communicate with each other directly. Participation in a joint project with major German automakers, automotive suppliers, research institutes, and public institutions in the Frankfurt area has allowed Bosch to gather extensive experience in this area, which will be used in further development.
From partly automated to fully automated driving
More than 90 percent of all accidents are caused by drivers. The logical consequence of this is that drivers should be supported as comprehensively as possible, and should ultimately be relieved of certain tasks. This will also make driving more comfortable.
For example, in the future, cars equipped with 360-degree surround sensors will be able to find and drive themselves into parking places in specially-designed lots or parking garages. We call this valet parking. Starting with the traffic jam assistant, the level of support for freeway driving will gradually increase. Over the next decade, it will progress from the ever more wide-ranging support of the stop-and-go function to a highway pilot that drives the car from on-ramp to off-ramp completely on its own. Fully automatic driving is coming step by step.
To make automated driving truly ready for series production, however, other fundamental technical milestones must be reached:
- The vehicle must be capable of recognizing everything in its environment. To enable this 360-degree coverage, we will use a powerful fusion of sensor data to link the information from various types of sensors.
- Software security: the function algorithms must be robust enough to safely cope with complex, unfamiliar driving situations.
- Hardware security: the control units, data transmission, and actuators such as brakes and steering must offer the greatest possible availability and security.
- The navigation data must be reliable and up-to-the-minute. The position of the vehicle in relation to objects in its environment including objects indicated on maps as well as ones picked up by sensors must be calculated to within a few decimeters. To do this, GPS positioning for rough location and environment sensors for precise location must work together.
- Due to the stringent safety requirements, usual methods of ensuring safety such as driving tests are no longer sufficient. New methods of insuring functional safety must be found, in order to minimize the probability of errors.
A key aspect of the success of assistance systems is their user interface. Functions that take over increasingly wide-ranging driving tasks must be intuitive to use and understand. Bosch is thus intensively looking at and testing various approaches. For example, we will make use of head-up displays. Using new visualization processes that are based on augmented reality, we will incorporate information such as driving recommendations or distance warnings into the actual traffic situation in a realistic manner. This process is very well suited to accurately projecting information into the driver's field of view at the right time, and in the right place, allowing drivers to react to whatever is happening on the road faster and more safely. Our multimodal concepts are another approach to user-friendliness. These unify gestures and touchscreen interfaces with voice control.
We recently teamed up with GM to bring our most innovative driver information system to date into series production. It can be found in Cadillacs under the name CUE Cadillac user experience. It is characterized by a smartphone-like user interface, and to a large extent can be controlled by natural speech. It is the first Linux-based solution worldwide. The decision was made to use this operating system back in 2008, with the understanding that automotive infotainment requires the same pace of innovation as the internet. As part of our work in the Genivi Alliance for in-vehicle infotainment, we will work on expanding this open source platform with a view to creating an industry standard.
Bosch expands its portfolio in the area of connectivity
Our Automotive Aftermarket division is also expanding its service portfolio in light of increasing automotive internet connectivity. Data is provided by the vehicle's diagnostics interface, and is read by corresponding connectivity hardware. Based on this, for instance, the fun2drive smartphone app translates error codes within seconds, and displays information on performance and torque. Of interest to fleet operators is another service currently in the pipeline, which transmits driving and service information as well as error codes for the fleet vehicles, thus enabling the operator to better plan servicing and repair. An electronic logbook and theft alert based on GPS data are examples of further applications. Finally, Drivelog is an online platform for drivers which allows them to manage their vehicle data, access comprehensive information on their specific model, and find contact info for a nearby garage. This service has been online for German users since 2012.
In addition, our car multimedia experts are simplifying the integration of smartphones in vehicles with solutions such as mySPIN. This software allows iPhone and Android apps to be operated safely and in the usual fashion via the vehicle's display.
Data security will be maintained
As you see, we are networking vehicles and supporting a large number of terminals and vehicle-relevant apps. However, in doing so we must ensure that the high standard of security in the automotive electronics is maintained. Using dual architectures, we will create a strict separation between functions that are relevant for driving, such as driver assistance, and ones that are not, such as infotainment. In the future, a hardware security module will also safeguard the communication in each control unit, and escrypt, which has been a Bosch subsidiary since 2012, is developing software for this.
Ladies and gentlemen,
More than 5000 Bosch engineers are working on ever-more powerful safety and assistance systems. These are designed to help drivers reach their destinations as safely and with as little stress as possible. Please take advantage of the opportunity to experience these systems for yourself and learn more about them from our specialists doing the test drives this afternoon.
Thank you.

I loved this, and loved the smell of the olives while the chicken cooked. DS said the lemon was too overpowering, but I didn't find it so. (He ate two chicken breasts though, so it couldn't have been bad. LOL) My chicken breasts were huge, two of them weighed 2 1/2 lbs, so I adjusted the recipe accordingly...Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag game. Thanks for sharing!
Gotta love that Greek Seasoning. It adds so much flavor to anything you sprinkle it on. We loved this chicken and we can't wait to have it again. I baked potatoes with oil, lemon, Greek Seasoning, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper in the oven and a Greek salad on the side. Great meal!
Simple to make and has lots of flavor. Goes great with Greek potatoes and green salad. Made for ZWT6

Encrypted Backup Solution "Home Paranoia Edition"
How to safeguard your personal data with TrueCrypt and SpiderOak.
There are so many cases of personal identifiable information (PII) or any type of data exposed on the Internet today. The details provided in this article may assist in safeguarding your tax information, social security number or password file. The setup this article describes will help keep your personal data at home safe and secure in this "cyber-security"-connected world. This includes virtual/physical security compromises—the only truly secure system is one that is unplugged and locked in a vault. This solution is not all-encompassing and does have limitations, but it is sound enough for safeguarding personal data.
The first step is addressing the physical aspect of security. This is a critical step, because some notable compromises are a direct result of someone having physical access to a system. You always should prepare yourself for the possibility that your beloved electronic devices could be in hands of someone other than you at any given moment. This situation could occur on a train, or in a coffee shop, automobile or home, and you must assume your data is lost when it is outside your control.
This article describes utilizing whole disk encryption to reduce some of the risks provided by a great open-source Linux operation system (Ubuntu 12.10). Whole disk encryption is a key factor, especially when considering all of the recent events concerning stolen government laptops that contained millions of social security numbers.
Figure 1. Setup screen for encrypting your home directory in Ubuntu during initial operating system installation.
The next key step in safeguarding your personal information is by adding another security layer by encrypting home directories during the initial installation (Figure 1). You may be the only one using this system; however, if others are able to access your system while it's running, this may slow them down from trying to access information contained in a home directory.
You will need to run the command:
sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils cryptsetup
using an advanced packaging tool-capable distribution. This will install the encrypting utilities needed to encrypt your home directory.
The next step is to log in or create another user account with root privileges to run the following command on the user's home directory (Figure 2):
sudo ecryptfs-migrate-home -u your-user-name
Then, you need to log in to the encrypted home directory account before rebooting the machine (as stated in the important note screen), providing a roll-back opportunity in the event of any unexpected complications during the encryption process.
encryptfs-unwrap-passphrase to record your randomly generated mount
passphrase. Keep this passphrase safe, because you may need it to
recover your encrypted files. Also, ensure that you reboot your system and
remove the un-encrypted backup folder (Figure 3).
Figure 2. If encrypting your home folder was missed during initial
installation, use
encryptft-utils to encrypt your home
Figure 3. This is important feedback information "record passphrase as

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Oct 01st, 2004
Running Time: 98
Company: Kick Ass Pictures
Cast: Nikki Nite, Tony Tedeschi, Capri (I), Sasha Sans, Benjamin Bratt, Lee Stone, Yazmene Milan, Steven St. Croix, Lily Thai
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
The cover photo of Milan will have 'em panting.
The funniest exchange here comes not in the vid proper, but in the DVD's outtakes: Tony Tedeschi says to tasty taco tosser Capri, "Looks like you have a fetish for white cock, huh?" to which she replies, "And you don't?"
Anyway, outside of that little goof, this Chica Boom installment lacks the line's usual comic zip; the most amusing things get is when featured cover hottie Yazmene Milan tells Steven St. Croix that as reconciliation for making the racist assumption she's a maid, he can eat her ass – since her black boyfriend won't do it.
On the other hand, this great roundup of luscious Latin trim is sure to get the blood of any brown skin-inclined viewer pumping hard. (Though we do have to question the claimed Latin heritage of Lily Thai. Just sayin'.)

Japan Futures, Australian Shares Gain as France Auctions Debt
Japanese stock futures and Australian equities gained as France auctioned debt at a lower borrowing cost even after Standard & Poor's stripped the country of its top credit rating.
American depositary receipts of Canon Inc., a Japanese camera maker that depends on Europe for almost a third of its sales, rose 2 percent from the closing share price in Tokyo. Those of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc., Japan's No. 2 publicly traded bank, gained 1.3 percent after it won a bid to buy Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc's aircraft-leasing division. BHP Billiton Ltd., Australia's biggest oil producer, gained 1.5 percent in Sydney after prices for crude rose.
Futures on Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average expiring in March were bid in the pre-market at 8,420 in Osaka, Japan, at 8:05 a.m. local time, up from 8,380 yesterday. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index rose 0.8 percent today. New Zealand's NZX 50 Index added 0.1 percent in Wellington.
"The European Central Bank's purchase of European debt has added to stability and supported the French auctions," said Fumiyuki Nakanishi, a strategist at Tokyo-based SMBC Friend Securities Co. "Investors had already expected the European downgrade in a way."
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index climbed 0.8 percent to 251.12 yesterday, snapping three days of losses, as French borrowing costs fell at an auction of 51-week treasury bills in the first sale since the nation's credit downgrade. France sold 1.895 billion euros ($2.4 billion) of one-year notes at a yield of 0.406 percent, down from 0.454 percent on Jan. 9. The Treasury sold a total of 8.59 billion euros in bills, including three and six-month paper.
Leaders Meet
Euro-area leaders will this week try to rescue efforts to deliver new fiscal rules and cut Greece's debt burden as they urge investors to ignore the S&P downgrades.
Greek officials will reconvene with creditors on Jan. 18 after discussions stalled last week, raising the threat of default. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy will also meet as the ECB warns governments against "watering down" a revamp of budget laws.
Standard & Poor's 500 Index futures slid 0.1 percent today. U.S. stock markets were closed yesterday for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday.
Oil yesterday climbed from the lowest price in almost four weeks as Iran said that a disruption to crude supplies through the Strait of Hormuz would cause a shock to markets that "no country" could manage. Crude for February delivery rose as much as 1.1 percent to $99.80 a barrel in New York. The contract fell to $98.70 on Jan. 13, the lowest settlement price since Dec. 21.
The London Metal Exchange Index of prices for six metals including copper and aluminum yesterday gained 0.7 percent to the highest level since October 31.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index advanced 1.6 percent this year through Jan. 13, compared with a 2.5 percent gain by the S&P 500 and a 2.7 percent increase by the Stoxx Europe 600 Index. Stocks in the Asian benchmark are valued at 12.2 times estimated earnings on average, compared with 12.3 times for the S&P 500 and 10.1 times for the Stoxx 600.

An officer wounded in a shootout with an 18-year-old prison parolee barred from possessing a firearm has been released from the hospital.
Rick Meyer, a Jackson County sheriff's deputy, planned to return to the scene of the incident Friday to talk with investigators about his role.
Meyer was shot twice — once in each shoulder — while investigating a report of suspicious people on State Road 39 just south of Tampico. That report was received at 7:06 p.m. Thursday, and the caller told dispatch there were what appeared to be suspicious juveniles walking along the highway with a trash bag and a gasoline can.

DETROIT (June 13, 2014) General Motors is recalling nearly 512,000 Chevrolet Camaro muscle cars from the 2010 to 2014 model years because a driver's knee can bump the key and knock the switch out of the "run" position, causing an engine stall.
That knocks out power steering and brakes and could cause drivers to lose control.
GM says it knows of three crashes and four minor injuries from the problem.
GM says the Camaro switches met its specifications, unlike the switches at the center of a recall of 2.6 million small cars.
That problem has caused more than 50 crashes and at least 13 deaths.
The Camaro key is concealed in the Fob like a switchblade. GM will replace it with a straight design.

My WP and API key worked well together until last night, and after that hour an error message is showing up every time I try to enter certain WP pages/services.
Error: "Website on http://si........nu says:
Google Maps API key which is used on this website was registered for another website. You can generate a new key for this website on: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/."
But I registered the key in question for this WP, and I haven't changed anything.
The only thing I remember doing few hours before this new error message, was updating the server's Windows XP with SP3. That update went very well, and I can't understand that this API messages can have anything to do with that.
But where has my API key gone? When I now try to reenter my key I get the same error message.
I don't want to get a new API key - without knowing what really has happened to my old one.
I can't find a place where I can check my key and see what is registered to it - and perhaps edit?

As animal advocates, we try to inspire others to show compassion for all animals. We may also serve animals well if we reflect on our own decisions since there is always more we can do. I hope these questions cause you to think critically about your advocacy and motivate you to continue to explore ways you can most effectively impact change.
1. How much money do I donate to support non-profit animal rescue and advocacy organizations every year and does it reflect the sense of urgency I feel to save animals' lives? (If you donate $100 per year and you earn $40,000 per year, you are donating one quarter of one percent of your annual salary.)
2. When I advocate on social media, am I looking for attention or am I taking steps to make a real difference in the lives of animals?
3. Does the way I spend my time in my personal life reflect how much I care about animals?
4. Am I recognizing the work of others and do I help other advocates and non-profit animal rescue organizations achieve their goals?
5. Do I represent the cause of animal advocacy with dignity in the way I conduct myself and treat others?
6. Do I advocate to make myself feel better or to help animals?
7. How do I evaluate whether or not my advocacy is effective?
8. Am I committed to learning by attending workshops and conferences, reading books, watching videos, and asking for feedback?
9. Do I have a full understanding of the decisions I still make that harm animals and am I taking steps to reduce my negative impact?
10. Do I take initiative to accomplish victories for animals by leading the way or do I mainly surround myself with like-minded people and hope someone else will make the changes we need?
For the horse forced to pull people in a carriage in extreme temperatures, the dog tethered in a backyard, the whale swimming in circles of boredom in a tank, the circus elephant being jabbed with a bullhook and transported across the country in a truck, the rabbit enduring ghastly experiments in a lab, the pig wondering why she has been caged, the fox about to be skinned for her fur, the polar bear trapped in the zoo, and the turkey about to be scalded alive, everything we do matters. We owe it to them to consider these questions. We are their only hope.

Amoxicillin - false positive for cocaine---
Do take your doctor´s prescription when they give you the test results.-
Before they did the test did you tell them you were on this medication?
If you have a script you should not have a problem, or ask them to get in touch with the doctor who prescribed this med.-
All the best.-

Maso is correct. I thought I would add an excerpt from an article I recently read. It also said many testing facilities have less quality control standards than many restaurants.
"Laboratory slip-ups are to blame for many of the mistaken test results. But even perfect labs running perfect tests will also find many false positives."
False positives are caused by:
1) Nasal decongestants such as Dristan, Neosynephren, Vicks Nasal Spray, and Sudafed, which cause false positives for amphetamines.
2) Poppy seeds like those on a dinner roll, which cause false positives for opiates. Even the highest-quality test currently available, the GCMS test, still confuses poppy seeds with heroin.
3) Pain relievers such as Advil, Nuprin, Midol, Trendar, or any medicine containing Ibuprofin cause false positives for marijuana.
4) Antibiotics such as amoxicillin or ampicillin cause false positives for cocaine.
The above list is only a beginning. Most substances which people have in their blood have never been tested to see if they cause false positives. Indeed, even some natural body enzymes cause false positives. According to research validated by the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment, melanin, the natural pigment which makes skin dark, can cause false positives for marijuana.

I've been wondering what NASCAR could do to ring your chimes, NASCAR Nation, here in another winter of your discontent.
I've come up with my top 10 things.
There has been a positive stir over reports that NASCAR will limit drivers to collecting points in one series, stopping Cup drivers from running for Nationwide championships on the side.
But the other anticipated announcement of the next week or so, of more changes to the Chase, probably will just draw more grumbling from multitudes who deem "Chase" a five-letter word no matter what.
I'm talking about changes that would knock your socks off, jump-start your enthusiasm and pretty much eliminate all the reasons you give me for your general malaise.
Here we go with changes you could sink your teeth into -- some silly, some serious, some absurd. I throw 'em out there; you decide.
10. Eliminate the Chase and go back to the full-season points system.
Of all the change-by-undoing you have howled for, this tops the list.
But I'm not sure how many of you remember just how dull autumn could be, for example, when Jeff Gordon blew away Mark Martin by 364 points in 1998, or Bobby Labonte cruised away from Dale Earnhardt's last championship try by 265 in 2000.
People always talk about Matt Kenseth's droning on to the title with only one race win in 2003 as critical mass for the change.
You think that was a runaway? Listen: Earnhardt, in winning his seventh championship, beat Martin by 444 points. It looks nice in the history books but wasn't very electrifying in the making.
In those days, NASCAR was thrilled if the Cup battle went all the way to the season finale, rather than locking up early.
But let's change it back, just to get it out of your system. A year or two of it, and you'll be demanding the return of the Chase.
9. Dump the COT (Car of Tomorrow, Car of Today, Car of Tedium, whatever you want to call it) and go back to letting manufacturers and their teams build the bodies they want, within limits.
Lest we forget, pre-COT racing, with manufacturer designs, had become one-by-one, runaway racing. If it wasn't Chevrolet teams complaining that Ford had an aero advantage, it was Ford teams complaining that Chevy had an aero advantage.
Basically, the teams were racing an American version of European sports car prototypes.
Brand identification? The cars looked so little like the street models that manufacturers actually welcomed the brand identification they could get with all the stickers on the COT.
What is evolving now is best. First, you shouted down the wings and got your spoilers back. For 2011, manufacturers get more freedom with noses. The splitter is still there, but it's well concealed to look like an "old" car.
So the car is getting more and more aesthetic, while retaining the strict safety specifications that inspired the COT in the first place.
8. Drop the Lucky Dog system and go back to racing back to caution.
Yeah, that free pass back into the lead lap is way too soft on those who fall laps down, right? All you have to do is be the highest-running driver one lap down, and you're handed a get-out-of-jail card, erasing the mistakes you made to lose the lap in the first place.
So let's get barbaric again. Let's leave drivers with only one way to make up laps: charging all-out back to the caution flag, regardless of what wrecks might lie along the way. Back to, say, a Dale Jarrett sitting sideways on the front straightaway at New Hampshire with others, hurtling at top speed back to the caution flag, narrowly missing him. (That was precisely the situation in 2003 that led NASCAR, far behind all other racing series, to ban racing back to caution.)
7. Award a 100-point margin, rather than the current 15, for winning over second place.
On this one, I'm serious.
This way, you finally get around to recognizing the point of this exercise, winning races, that the fans buy tickets and watch television to see.
Plus, there would be opportunities to reel in runaway points leaders by taking bigger bites out of their margins.
Currently, 161-point swings are possible in any given race -- considering 185 for winning, five bonus points for leading a lap and five for leading the most laps, for a total of 195, as opposed to 34 for finishing last.
My way, a 246-point swing in one race would be possible.
Volatile, huh? Talk about "on any given Sunday."
6. Cut Cup fields from the current 43 to 34 cars, and eliminate guaranteed starting spots for the top 35 in points.
Goodbye, start and park.
Everybody has to go or go home.
Every week.
Suspense returns to qualifying in full force. Who knows what drama might develop -- such as when Richard Petty started missing fields in 1989, or, to borrow from open-wheel racing, when the mighty Penske team failed to make the Indianapolis 500 field entirely in 1995.
Imagine a runaway points leader failing to qualify, and therefore getting zero points for an entire race weekend.
And 34 cars are more than enough to have a good race. You just get rid of the ones that get in the way if they don't start and park.
5. Award 20 points for winning the pole, and 10 for outside front row.
If you're going to make qualifying matter again, make it matter more than ever.
There has been much discussion of awarding points for the pole, for years, but the suggestions have been limited to small numbers, usually five points.
But if you've got everybody putting forth such effort, and taking such risks of missing the field, reward those efforts heartily.
4. Cut the maximum possible green-white-checkered finishes from three back to one.
Judging from the feedback I get, you all have been fed too much ice cream with this GWC business, and you're getting sick of it.
It all came about because fans were throwing things onto the tracks and borderline rioting while races finished under caution -- especially when that last caution kept Dale Earnhardt Jr. from getting one last shot.
But because cautions breed cautions -- restarts, especially double file, induce more reckless driving -- the three-shot green-white-checkered has become a series of melees where winners win crapshoots, not entire races.
3. Vacate some of the cookie-cutter tracks and bring back some golden oldies.
This is virtually impossible, considering the financial straitjacket NASCAR has gotten itself into with the new venues. But it bears discussing, because the cookie cutters -- the 1.5-mile tri-ovals built with seating more in mind than good racing -- rank right up there with the Chase and the COT on NASCAR Nation's most-hated list.
You howl especially loud about the newer ones such as Chicagoland and Kansas, but there are five more on the tour.
What you're asking for, ultimately, is abandonment of some of them. Usually, in the same breath, you ask for a return to tracks such as Rockingham and North Wilkesboro.
You cite Rockingham as an exciting track. Either you weren't there, or you have a distorted grasp of history.
We used to call every Cup race that was run at the isolated 1-mile track "The 24 Hours of Rockingham." That's how long the races seemed if you were there.
Your hindsight envisions magnificent racing. I recall Cale Yarborough leading by two laps before the halfway point.
As for Wilkesboro, it was rough and tumble, all right -- on the track, and off. As for those colorful local crowds you've read about, well, I'll go back to the old Southern proverb that "There's two kinds of whiskey: dancin' whiskey and fightin' whiskey."
Moonshine or bonded, a whole lot of fightin' whiskey was consumed at Wilkesboro. I'll pass, if you don't mind, on being challenged to fight just for asking to be let into a line of gridlocked traffic -- or, once free of the jams, on pickup trucks trying to run you off the road if you dared try to pass them.
But by all means, let's bring back Wilkesboro and the Rock. Y'all come. Get it out of your system. It won't take long.
2. Announce that Brian France is retiring as chairman of NASCAR.
I don't mean really do it, I mean just announce it, to get the public off the poor guy's back. Deservedly or not, the very name is the focus of your discontent.
Never mind that much of his change has been predicated on the rising tides of business and common decency.
I've always said NASCAR has every bit as much right to a playoff system as any other pro sport. When you think about it, none of them are necessary, just contrived for money and television.
As for the COT, the American public at large no longer has the stomach for drivers getting killed or injured. And, homely as the car may be, it knocks bigger holes in the air and provides better racing, and it's more durable for slam-bangin'.
You still wouldn't be satisfied with, say, NASCAR president Mike Helton running the show. So maybe hold a fan election and nominate some people who would cause an uproar.
Say, Darrell Waltrip versus Dale Earnhardt Jr. for commissioner of NASCAR. Either of those would get your heart started, not to mention splitting NASCAR Nation right down the middle and polarizing it, to assure that NASCAR fans could do what they do best and love best -- argue -- forever more.
1. Just call off the 2011 season.
Very few would notice, if you really mean what so many of you say in all those e-mails and comments in the ESPN Conversation: that you've given up on NASCAR and no longer pay attention to it.
Besides, to get all the radical changes listed above accomplished, you'd need a year to get reorganized.
But here's the thing: You write in often, and vehemently, and provide details of races you're supposed to be ignoring. You sure are worked up, in droves, over a sport you've ceased to follow.

Cloned Stem Cells Surprisingly Healthy
A new study finds that stem cells from cloned mouse embryos are indistinguishable from those taken from fertilized embryos. In fact, these cloned stem cells go on to make seemingly healthy mice. This is in stark contrast to cloned animals, which are wracked with genetic problems.

Thanks for telling us about this, AmericanGirlHope.
Well, everyone knows that a few hours before Toontown closed, an error showed up on many people's screens. It said:
"Could not connect to
Try again?"
Many people thought that Disney had shut down Toontown early so they wouldn't have to disconnect/delete all the Toons online- so did I. However, this post www.toontowncentral.com/forums… tells us different:
"I called and talked to the people at Toontown at about 8:30am (Pacific) and I truly believe that they didn't do it intentionally. The woman I spoke to sounded very distraught, she said 'I know about the problem, we can't log in, either.' Her voice was shaking and she was sniffling. It sounded like she was crying. She told me that they had come to work and found they couldn't log in and the players couldn't either. She said 'We absolutely did NOT turn the servers off early.'. And because I heard the tone in her voice - I believe her. They wanted to and were trying to bring it back up for us, but weren't able to." (Originally posted by Jellyroll_Ruffletoon)
What do you think happened? Was it hackers, Disney just faking their sorrow, or simply a fatal error in the severs? O_o
Nevertheless, it's out of our hands now. Even if we did know, it wouldn't bring Toontown back, sadly. :-/
I think that, maybe, some hackers might have got into the game. We all know that Lefty, Atomicman and those kind of people were large hackers of the game, maybe they thought they'd say some 'last goodbyes'. I hope that wasn't the case, some of the videos of theirs I've watched weren't that bad.
I think the timer glitched and shut down early.
An easy mistake like that could happen when something
even the workers probably loved getting shut down
could let them lose focus on coding this correctly.
It feels a bit fishy for that error to appear when timed. Even if they hadn't been updated or taken down in a month. The type of error it was according to one of your past journals makes it seem a little bit more fishy too.
Wow. This is really interesting and strange. I wonder where this will lead...
Hopefully, getting Toontown back? I dunno....
I think a mob of hackers went in and implanted a really big virus. Because from what this sounds like, that was genuine concern/sorrow.
uh... i-is it just me or do you guys also think there might be a GIANT VIRUS in the TT servers?!!?!?
It's not just you o.o
yeah... good news though. I found the latest server!!!!www.toontownrewritten.com/abou… is opening NEXT WEEK!!
Interesting, I don't know when the error started but I was able to log in as early as 6:10 so it happened some time after that.
Wow... I never thought anything like that but just wow....

Configuring MIME Types
Updated: August 22, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1
IIS serves only the static files with extensions that are registered in the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) types list. IIS is preconfigured to recognize a default set of global MIME types, which are recognized by all configured Web sites. MIME types can also be defined at the Web site and directory levels, independent of one another or the types defined globally. IIS also allows you to change, remove, or configure additional MIME types. For any static content file extensions used by the Web sites and applications hosted by IIS that are not defined in the MIME types list, you must create a corresponding MIME type entry.
Configure the MIME types after upgrade by completing the following steps:
Remove the entry .* application/octet-stream, which enables all MIME types. Removing this entry allows you to restrict the static content served by IIS.
For information about how to remove a MIME type from the list, see Configure MIME Types.
For each static file type that is used by your applications, ensure that an entry exists in the MIME types list.
When your application uses the standard MIME types included in IIS, no new MIME type entry is required. For information about how to add a MIME type, see Configure MIME Types.
Use a Web browser on a client computer to verify that the Web sites and applications run on the server.

I have VisualSVN Server running on Windows 7 64-bit. The repository is located in C:\Repositories. When I try to access it over HTTPS, I get the following error:
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem, error code 500 # 720005.
I've tried giving the admin user full rights to the repository directory, but that doesn't work. The only way I can get access over HTTPS is if I give everyone full rights, which is obviously unsafe.
How can I grant access to the repository only to specific users?
I have also tried freeing the respective directories with full access to the user "Netzwerkdienst" (= network service) which doesn't work too. Just freeing the directories for the user "Jeder" (=Everyone) works.

I need help! How do I seal a leak from my overhead tank filled with water with out throwing away or draining the tank? My tank is made from steel.
There is underwater epoxy adhesive available for emergency boat repair. You can use the reinforced PVC material used for inflatable boats as a patch material. The catch is the patch must be applied to the inside of the tank so water pressure holds it in place. Applying to the outside will not work because water will push through an outlet path before the adhesive cures.
How long can you hold your breath? If this is for human drinking water, you should disinfect the water after someone has been swimming in it, on top of sanitizing the person before entry.
Several approaches can be used. Which you choose depends on the specific situation.

(WASHINGTON) -- Thanks to the Supreme Court, Playboy at Night will soon be available during the day. Unlike obscene material, indecent material is constitutionally protected. The government cannot force sexually oriented programming like the Playboy Channel into late-night hours only because its signal occasionally becomes visible or audible, the Supreme Court ruled Monday.
In 5-to-4 ruling Monday, the high court said cable operators will no longer have to restrict the Playboy Channel, Spice and other adult-themed fare to late-night hours.
"If television broadcasts can expose children to the real risk of harmful exposure to indecent materials, even in their own home and without parental consent, there is a problem the government can address," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the court. "It must do so, however, in a way consistent with First Amendment principles."
The high court agreed with Playboy and its nudie-loving cable compadres that a 1996 federal law was unconstitutional. The law required cable companies to block such salacious programs from nonsubcribers during the daytime, but Playboy and company argued that, since many cable systems lacked the technology to guarantee the audio and video feeds would be completely scrambled, they simply opted to restrict these networks to airing only between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
"It put carriage of our network in jeopardy in a number of places," said Tony Lynn, president of the Playboy Entertainment Group. And that is a violation of the First Amendment right to free expression.
"The history of the law of free expression is one of vindication in cases involving speech that many citizens may find shabby, offensive or even ugly," Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion. He added, "The citizen is entitled to seek out or reject certain ideas or influences without government interference or control."
The U.S. Justice Department felt the law should stay because it prevented children from watching television programs unsuitable for them.
That argument found a sympathetic ear with the nay-saying judges. "Our prior cases recognize that where the protection of children is at issue, the First Amendment poses a barrier that properly is high, but not insurmountable," Justice Stephen G. Breyer wrote in the dissenting opinion.
The anti-smut law was enacted as part of the 1996 Communications Decency Act following complaints that while sex-oriented channels are scrambled for nonsubscribers, the picture and sound sometimes get through.
Playboy Entertainment Group challenged the law as a violation of First Amendment free-speech protection. The law restricts such programming even to households without children, Playboy's lawyers argued.
Both sides agreed that such a shield was a good goal to have, but couldn't agree on how much constitutional "flexibility" that the court should give the government in its effort to protect children.
Lynn said he expects his channels' distribution to grow because of the ruling. "Now that we've got the shackles off, we're going to have an ability to do business with our consumers when they want to see us," he said.
Federal officials attempted to remind cable customers that they can ask cable companies to block channels fully.
"In reviewing today's Supreme Court decision, parents should remember that current law specifically provides that cable customers can contact their local cable companies and request that channels they find objectionable be blocked from their homes at no cost," FCC chairman Bill Kennard said. "Parental choice is precisely the core of the FCC's V-chip program, which is giving parents the ability to block television programming that is not fit for their kids to watch. We continue to urge parents to equip themselves with a V-chip."
Kennard's point was seconded by Hefner.
"We have always supported the right of individuals to control what information comes into their homes," she said. "Whether through the V-chip, lock boxes or blocking cable operators on request."

Lastly, there's a "game" you can buy through Steam - called GTGD (Gamer to Game Developer) - some Aussie walks through creating a first person shooter with teams and multiple weapons. There's a S1 and S2 and after about 12 or so of the videos (out of 20+ in S1) I had enough to start programming my own game. He's writing it all in c# and explains the code decently.

Your choice is vote against and have immediate bankruptcy, or vote for with massive dilution and quite possibly bankruptcy later.
Groans,Good job framing the decision argument before us.Consider the institutional buying that we know is happening. Considering also what docmcmu has contributed here about management wanting to abscond with the proxy given a yes vote to block a hostile takeover. Based upon that, I'm going to vote against. Thanks docmcmu.I'm all about a change of guard because I feel the investment interest is there and it's only a matter of time before fresh ownership and targeted investment capital could turn this concept around.

A take over offer is just pure speculation,(if not wishful thinking). One has to weigh the course of financing opportunities for the company. More shares, or additional private funding. I have seen it in the past where companies have pulled this stunt to give themselve full control over a company, and then dillute it into the ground. I question the excessive over runs on the last building and who possibly gained from that, and now a proposal to build again. So far from my point of view, management has been less than financialy responsibly. JMO
