New Secretary-Treasurer of the K.N.E.A. who was elected by a 30 vote majority over his opponent, Mrs. Anita Wilson Robinson, at the annual teachers' meet here in Louisville this week. CAN BLUEBEARD BEAT THE CHAIR? REVIEW OF CASE MAKES FOR DOUBT CONDEMNED MAN [Photo] William Reed He allegedly killed twice. PROSECUTOR [Photo] Charles W. Anderson Wants Reed buried six feet. Asst. Commonwealth Attorney Charles W. Anderson openly expressed doubt that William T. Reed, former merchant policeman condemned to death for the slaying of one of his two alleged victims can beat his execution sentence. Reed, through his attorney, has filed several writs asking that the trial be set aside. In a review of the case this week, the prosecutor declared that nothing has happened to change his belief that Reed is guilty and that he had a fair trial. "The bones of Louise Young, the woman he murdered, were found buried two feet under the earth in a coal shed. For this crime, Reed should be put six feet under the ground where the sun will never shine on his face again. "At his trial in December, 1948, the question of admitting his statement or 'confession' into evidence was discussed in the Judge's chambers, out of hearing of the jury. The arresting officers testified that no force was used. Reed, who had a constitutional right not to testify before the jury at his trial--which he did not do--could nevertheless have told the Judge in his chambers about any violation of the law on the part of the police in obtaining the 'confession'. But Reed kept quiet. He did not deny the statements made in the confession; and he did not say it had been forced from him. "An uncle of the slain woman testified that it was the custom of his niece to visit his home in the country during the holidays. She failed to come to his home during the 1943 Christmas season. An inquiry at the home, 124 S. 11th St., showed she was not there. He inquired of Reed as to her whereabouts and was told that she had gone to Detroit without taking any of her belongings. "About July 21, 1948, a plumber, at the direction of the owner, went to the premises to make some repairs in a water pipe, and found it necessary to take up some pipe which led through a coal shed. In reaching this pipe he discovered bones and a skull. An expert from Washington, D. C., experienced in such matters, testified that the bones and skull were those of a human being, and by particular markings of the teeth the skull was identified as that of Louise Young. "Following the discovery the police department and the coroner were notified and on the same day Reed was taken into custody and questioned; he told them that Louise had left him and gone to Detroit and he was released. "On investigation by officers it developed that she was not in Detroit, and the officers later took Reed into custody, where he made a statement which was signed by Reed on July 24, 1948. "The Court of Appeals after careful consideration of the whole case, found no error in the trial or the proceedings before the trial that would prejudice the case against Reed. That Court, after its ruling, denied a rehearing of the appeal. "Then Reed sought the aid of the Federal District Court in Louisville. He asked for a Writ of Habeas Corpus which was first denied then granted. "This did not mean that Reed was being granted a new trial. The Federal Court, reviewing the entire record of the case, could not find any ground on which Reed's contention, made over a year after trial, could stand. "Reed now has a right to appeal the ruling of the Federal District Court. Such appeal would be made to the Federal Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. If he loses in that effort, he may then seek to have his case reviewed by the United State Supreme Court in Washington, D. C. That Court may exercise its discretion to grant an application for review of the case or to deny it. "As the case stands today, Reed is still under sentence of death, but no date is now set for his execution. The execution has been stayed--or postponed--until he exhausts all the legal steps open to him. When he has reached the end of the legal road, if he does not win a new trial, then the Governor of Kentucky will have to set a new date for the execution." K.N.E.A. IN DITHER; REFUSE TO COMMEND GOVERNOR FOR ACTION R. L. [Dowers?] of Shelbyville, Ky., [quietly?] [succeeded?] Whitney M. Young as President of the Kentucky Negro Educational Association in its annual meeting here this week. But the quiet election was an aftermath to bitter controversy as to whether the organization should go on record commending Gov. Earl Clements for obtaining increased appropriations for Negro state schools. [Photo] C. L. TIMBERLAKE On Textbook Commission Yet the group voiced approval of the action of State Superintendent [illegible] Hodgkin in appointing C. K. Timberlake, president of West Kentucky Vocational School at Paducah, to the State Textbook Commission. But H. E.

He charged that increased appropriation for Negro schools would result in keeping Negroes out of the University of Kentucky. There was not to commend, he argued.

Lee, Real Estate broker at 522 West Walnut, and former advertising salesman for The Louisville Defender filed suit against his former employers in Jefferson Circuit Court this week. the petition said the paper company owed him money for commissions on advertising amounting to $212.89. Lee stated in the petition that he actually sold 114,641 lines of advertising last year. Of this amount 96,900 lines were scheduled to determine his base pay. The suit said 17,741 lines were sold over the schedule and considered for commission. He figured that the gross sum from which commissions were due came to $1,419.28. When contacted for a statement, plaintiff Lee refused to comment in detail but said the petition "Clearly states the facts and nothing else need be said at this time . . . except the company owes me the money."

The House of Hearts is an annual celebrity curling bonspiel to raise money for the St. Luke's Foundation in Duluth, MN.
How much has been raised?
Congratulations to everyone who was a part of the 2014 House of Hearts. Together, we presented over $34000 to our charity, raising our 13-year total to $384,000!!! Your donations go directly to the advancement of regional healthcare, not towards foundation expenses or overhead.
What are we raising money for?
In January of 2014, The St. Luke's Foundation asked the HOH committee to consider assisting with the expansion of their infusion therapy department. The expansion is creating 4 new 'bedrooms' for those getting infusion therapy such as chemo or recurring transfusions. Each room is $25,000, and if we raise that much, it will be known as the HOUSE OF HEARTS room – and can be decorated by HOH (pictures of Olympians, curling memorabilia etc. ) The HOH committee is thrilled to take on this challenge!

Wilson's disease is an inherited disorder in which there is too much copper in the body's tissues. The excess copper damages the liver and nervous system.
Hepatolenticular degeneration
Wilson's disease is a rare inherited disorder. If both parents carry an abnormal gene for Wilson's disease, there is a 25% chance in each pregnancy that the child will have the disorder.
Wilson's disease causes the body to take in and keep too much copper. The copper deposits in the liver, brain, kidneys, and the eyes. The deposits of copper cause tissue damage, death of the tissues, and scarring, which causes the affected organs to stop working correctly.
This condition is most common in eastern Europeans, Sicilians, and southern Italians, but may occur in any group. Wilson's disease typically appears in people under 40 years old. In children, the symptoms begin to show by age 4.
A slit-lamp eye examination may show:
A physical examination may show signs of:
Lab tests may include:
If there are liver problems, lab tests may find:
Other tests may include:
The gene that causes Wilson's disease has been found. It is called ATP7B. DNA testing is available for this gene. Talk to your health care provider or a genetic counselor if you would like to have gene testing performed.
The goal of treatment is to reduce the amount of copper in the tissues. This is done by a procedure called chelation -- certain medications can bind to copper and help remove it through the kidneys or gut. Treatment must be lifelong.
The following medications may be used:
Vitamin E supplements may also be used.
Sometimes, medications that chelate copper (especially penicillamine) can affect the function of the brain and nervous system (neurological function). Other medications under investigation may bind copper without affecting neurological function.
A low-copper diet may also be recommended. Foods to avoid include:
You may want to drink distilled water because most tap water flows through copper pipes. Avoid using copper cooking utensils.
Symptoms may be treated with exercise or physical therapy. People who are confused or unable to care for themselves may need special protective measures.
A liver transplant may be considered in cases where the liver is severely damaged by the disease.
Wilson's disease support groups can be found at www.wilsonsdisease.org and www.geneticalliance.org .
Lifelong treatment is needed to control Wilson's disease. The disorder may cause fatal effects, especially loss of liver function and toxic effects of copper on the nervous system. In cases where the disorder is not fatal, symptoms may be disabling.
Liver failure and damage to the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord) are the most common and dangerous effects of the disorder. If not caught and treated early, Wilson's disease is fatal.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of Wilson's disease. Call a genetic counselor if you have a history of Wilson's disease in your family and you are planning to have children.
Genetic counseling is recommended for people with a family history of Wilson's disease.

Decomposing a Thesis
Group Member:
Jennifer Riggi, Sumin Nam, Herng Fuu Richard Yeh
Title of the Thesis:
Share Station by Tao Lin¬
Summary of Project:
Workstation that encourages interaction between Asian American parents and their children. It is supposed to improve language barriers and help strengthen family bonds.
A lot of solutions were created from assumptions. There is not enough evidence on the board to convince us that the product serves its function.
He tries to tackle too many problems at once instead of stating one problem and one solution. He mentions female suicide, gaps between children and parents, randomly placed recycling information, and the actual furniture has major physical construction issues.
We found that the desk was abnormally huge and probably most Asian American families could not comfortably fit it in their residence. Also it only seats two people when most families have more than one parent and sibling. We were not convinced that this piece of furniture and its specific function as a workstation had any relevance to the mission statement.
Also none of the stated issues that the non for profit stood for directly related to the mission statement.
We were also weary that the product needed to be for Asian American families exclusively. The problem statement could apply to most families regardless of their culture.
We felt that the form of the furniture was interesting and unique.
We also decided that it could probably dictate people to communicate but we weren't convinced that the families would want to use it very often.
If it is flat pack and if the pieces can be easily replaced we thought that was a strong area, but we weren't sure because there was no supporting evidence of this even happening.
Our Final Design:
In keeping with the "lazy susan" idea that this piece invokes, we wanted to design something that was just as functional as it was engaging for the entire family. Instead of a "workstation" for the office, we designed a "lazy susan" which has the days of the week labeled on each slot where the children can place their homework, notes, and books. This helps the family engage in every activity during the week. They can also write on a removable washable canvas top that acts like a daily calendar so that they can feel a sense of accomplishment when they finish tasks together.

Introducing Danielle from Linwood, NJ. Just an absolute knockout to end the week. Dark hair dark skin great smile killer body. What a way to close out the week.
I need some more smokeshow nominations. I havent asked for any in a LONG time so I hope everyone realizes they have to do their part too. Email me firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet me @KFCBarstool with names of girls you'd like to see on the site.

Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl is a toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose resulting in a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds readers at every turn. When his wife disappears on their anniversary, Nick starts having cringe-worthy daydreams and becomes oddly evasive, eschewing his golden boy past in this bestselling novel. Reserve it.

Driving the Tesla Model S Quickly, And Briefly
- |
- 6:40 pm |
- Permalink
FREMONT, CA – It's been nearly four years since Tesla announced plans to expand its electric line-up from a singular sports car to a four-door, five-seat sedan. In the interim, the upstart automaker has grown its dealer network, secured more funding, revealed a crossover concept, and purchased and converted the former NUMMI plant in Fremont, CA to begin production of the Model S.
And that's where we're at today, joined by a smattering of press, investors, and a handful of EV early adopters who've plunked down deposits and are finally taking delivery of one of the first 10 full-size, fully electric, U.S.-built sedans.
The road from inception to production is a long one, and we've covered the Model S extensively since its announcement. But today, we finally get to drive it. Albeit for a very specific "7 to 9 minutes."
In typical Tesla fashion, this is a highly choreographed affair. Between owners arriving, investor briefings, the assembled masses of journalists and photographers, and us, everything has been planned down to the minute – if not the second.
Which is why this is not a comprehensive test of the Model S.
We can tell you that it accelerates, stops and turns. It's got more than enough shove to power you up an on-ramp, an interior that's capable of carrying you and a few companions for an EPA-estimated 265 miles on a six-hour charge, and an infotainment screen that takes up more dashboard real-estate than a three-story row home.
What we can't tell you is what the Model S is like to commute in or what it's like to cane through the twisting roads of Mount Hamilton. And more importantly, we're unable to put Tesla's range claims to the test.
But if our brief seat time is any indication, Tesla hasn't just delivered a functional, all-electric sedan – it's made a luxury EV that can outpace and outclass the stalwarts of the premium sports sedan segment, while changing the perceptions of electric mobility.
It's also a complete hoot to drive.
If you need a refresher on the Model S' stats and features, brace yourself for the numerical barrage.
Three battery capacities are available: a 40 kWh pack, a 60 kWh battery, or a range-topping 85 kWh of juice. Tesla is citing range figures of 160 miles for the low end, 40 kWh module and 230 miles for the 60 kWh pack. The EPA just put out its own stats on the maxed-out 85 kWh battery, and rates it at 265 miles on a single charge and a combined rating of 89 MPGe. Until the EPA does its thing with the other models, it's safe to assume the lesser packs will be rated around 10 percent less than what Tesla is citing.
The price discrepancy between each battery capacity is easy to calculate – start with $49,900 (after the $7,500 federal tax credit) and add $10k for each upgraded pack, with the 85 kWh model topping out at $69,900.
No matter the battery spec, you're getting a Model S with 362 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, and fitted with the 17-inch, Nvidia-powered touchscreen infotainment system, 19-inch wheels and seating for five, or up to seven if you fit the optional and entirely daft hatch-mounted, rear-facing seats.
The Model S Performance adds a "high performance drive inverter" boosting output to 416 hp from 5,000 to 8,600 RPM and 443 pound-feet of torque from 0 to 5,100 revs, which combined with the upgraded tire and wheel package is good for a 0-60 MPH run of 4.4 seconds. Along with the 85 kWh battery pack, the Performance model also comes standard with Nappa leather interior, alcantara and carbon fiber accents, a sport-tuned traction control system that allows a minute amount of slip and an active air suspension that goes from spongy to sporty depending on the conditions. All that for $84,900.
What we're driving today is the Signature Performance model, one of 1,000 limited edition variants that have been set aside for the earliest of Tesla's early adopters. While the $87,900 base Signature edition packs the same high-range battery pack and air suspension, along with red exterior paint, coke dealer chic white interior, and a claimed 0-60 run of 5.6 seconds, the performance model comes with the same kit but commands a cool $97,900 for its exclusivity.
Acting like a proper consumer electronics company, Tesla will only be offering the topped-out 85 kWh pack at launch, with the 60 kWh pack coming this fall and the 40 kWh version arriving in the winter.
Tesla's pre-planned, six-mile route covered short blasts of urban and highway driving, along with a few fast, sweeping bends that put the drivetrain, suspension and steering in its best light.
We make a hard left out of the former NUMMI plant and mat the throttle down a straight leading to a long, slightly on-camber left hand turn. Acceleration in this Performance model is beyond brisk and the complete lack of any engine or transmission noise feels odd as we're whisked in near silence to over 90 MPH.
A quick lift off the accelerator and the regenerative braking comes on at full force, slowing the Model S down to near 70 MPH before we lightly dab the brake entering the bend.
No need. The regen handles most of the deceleration and we get back on the throttle to power through at a few ticks over 60 MPH.

Mentor Graphics Accelerates "Smart" User Interface Innovation with Nucleus Software Platform for Atmel Microcontrollers
WILSONVILLE, Ore., April 15, 2008 – Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced a software platform based on the Nucleus® Operating System (OS) that is integrated, validated and optimized for Atmel® AT91SAM9 ARM926EJ-S™-based microcontrollers. Unlocking the full performance of Atmel silicon, the platform provides developers with an out-of-the-box foundation upon which to more rapidly and cost-efficiently create, integrate and deliver innovative "smart" user interface applications.
"Mentor Graphics' Nucleus-based platform takes significant time and risk out of software development for Atmel customers," said Neil Henderson, general manager, Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems Division. "Now developers can start with a validated working system from day one, allowing them to fully focus on their value-add--building innovative applications with highly-functional, media-rich user interfaces, or modifying existing ones without changing the code."
The Atmel AT91SAM9 ARM9-based microcontrollers target smart control panel solutions across a broad range of applications. These include white goods, medical, printing, security systems, Internet tablets, electronic books, ATM machines, game pads and remote controls. The Nucleus-based platform offers a complete and robust development environment enabling application developers to deliver a quality user experience with less time and effort. Supported on Atmel's SAM9261, SAM9261S, SAM9263 and SAM9RL64 MCUs, demos running on the respective evaluation kits are available for download from Mentor's web site.
"Atmel is addressing the growing market need for smart control panels in control applications featuring graphical representations, access to electronic user guides and touch screens or capacitive sensing, technologies pioneered in portable media players and smart phones. With Mentor Graphics, we deliver a fully integrated off-the-shelf hardware/software platform to application developers," noted Jacko Wilbrink, ARM product marketing director for Atmel. "The Nucleus OS platform with its small footprint and rich multimedia capabilities leverages the high-bandwidth architecture and the robust set of peripherals on our AT91SAM9 ARM9-based microcontroller family, offering a very competitive cost/performance combination."
Nucleus Software Platform Cuts Development Time
Traditionally, implementing interfaces with audio and video content and advanced visual effects such as animation and one-click re-theming required weeks of development effort. With the Nucleus platform's full-featured real-time operating system and advanced UI engine, such user interfaces can be built, tested and modified rapidly with drag-and-drop tools and deployed without any modification to the underlying software stack.
To enable application software development by in-house teams or independent software vendors, the Nucleus platform is complemented by end-to-end tools including a C++ compiler, debugger, profiler, drag and drop UI designer and host simulation environment, as well as a JTAG probe.

5 TLF.Mainland | 15/05/2010 | See all Mainland's reviews (2)A rollercoaster of an album, a matured Foals, Yannis' voice is sounding smoother than ever! Alot more mellow than their last album but equally as good, seems like alot more emotion went into this album and it shows...spanish sahara being the backbone of the album! Beautiful layers, couldn't recommend it enough and if you aint seen them live i suggest you do they just stepped their game up a notch!!!
5 A Surprisingly Mellow Second Album.ElectricBloom | 22/03/2011 | See all ElectricBloom's reviews (9)Pros: This second album starts off awesome and carries on throughout. There is an amazingly chilled vibe to this release.Cons: A minor difference to their original sound from the first album, but still very enjoyable.If you are a Foals fan then this is a no brainer. If you are looking for a chilled indie sound then this is also money well spent,Please "find this review helpful" below !!
5 SECOND ALBUM SUCCESSRoamingPanther | 17/01/2011 | See all RoamingPanther's reviews (1)A lot of bands these days release very good debut albums but then struggle to follow up with a decent second album. The Foals first album was a fresh sound and fast became one of my all time favourite albums. I hoped the second would not be a disappointment and for a change a band delivered with a decent follow up album.It is more main stream than the first album but with singles like Spanish Sahara and This Orient, the album had a strong opening. On listening to the album a couple of times the tracks follow on one from another and none fail to impress.If your open minded to music then I would definitely download this straight away, worth every penny.RECOMMENED TRACKS TO DOWNLOAD - Spanish Sahara, After Glow and Miami
5 Confident. Surprising. All round excellence.MK1989 | 07/08/2010 | See all MK1989's reviews (24)If Foal's debut Antidotes could be accused of being 'emotively lacking', that claim is most irrelevant for their followup, which if anything is overflowing with the substance. It can be defined as a matured sequel if you will, but simply toning down Yannis' bark and pace alone can't be solely definitive of that term. The fact is Total Life Forever is the near perfect example of the definition of confident exploration of artisans stuck within a self-dug hole. And while most will be unable to escape from it, Foals have taken their former 'dance-floor orientated/mathematically formulated' label and torn it right off.What their followup to Antidotes show is Foals' musicial abilities prioritising above to the usual image driven Indie tosh and confidently rise above it, and resulting in being actual credible songwriters, which they seem so desperate in proving but ultimately falling short before.From the opening track, Foals have interwoven different surprises and turns that sound deceivingly fresh to the ear, while retaining the singalong approach that can entertain both to the inattentive dancers, and also to their avid listening fanbase. It's not the instantly impactful album that the previous title could muster, but in the long term outlook this is without argument the much superior.Increasing frequency of playbacks of the album will reward the listener to a more satisfying experience, and it could be a deliberate, if not clever motive by Foals. They want to prove they're not a temporary fad like so many of their forgotten contemporaries already are, and by the evidence of their latest effort, by god they could have just have done it.
5 Must Buy!!!RAWhooker | 09/08/2010 | See all RAWhooker's reviews (2)i had never heard of the Foals until i heard Spanish Sahara on the Radio on the way home, Shazam came to my recue and told be about them, instanly came on play and ordered the album which i recieved today and now listening to the last track as im writing this and must say its the best album i have heard this year every song is a masterpeice!!! 100% reccomend if you like the sound of spanish sahara! any now going to hit the repeat button! get it!!!!!!

Los Angeles Exotic Car Rental for a Unique Driving Experience
An exotic car is classed as as any automobile thats engineering advancement in engine overall performance is substantially greater than current autos. Good examples of these types of cars are those cars designed by Bugatti, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini and Ferrari. All these autos not only operate far better than more normal priced autos, additionally they cost a hefty sum of money — amounts that typically only the higher end of society can pay. Where your typical car might cost between 20,000 to 32,000 dollars, an exotic car usually costs from 140,000 to 840,000 dollars. Discerning this disparity in people who can pay for these kinds of autos and those who can not, exotic vehicle rental services offer to rent these kinds of autos at more affordable rates to whomever is able to pay.
Just like with all auto leasing services, you will need to have a valid drivers license and you have to satisfy a minimum age prerequisite. Exotic car rental providers are typically located in large urban centers internationally. For example, in the United States you can find an exotic car rental business in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and other big places. In Europe you can find one in Rome, Madrid, Geneva and various other major urban centers. The reason for this is on account that there's a much higher interest for these autos in these much larger urban centers.
A great number of exotic car rental services will require people to hold limited liability insurance of between 2500 and 7500 dollars. Many exotic car rentals are willing to supply you with this additional insurance coverage if you are not presently protected up to their particular set figure. This kind of increased figure compares to normal car rentals which customarily just call for 800 to 1400 dollars. The rental fee itself for a typical exotic car for a single day could run into the low thousands, which may be 100 times more expensive than the typical car rental. For instance Los Angeles exotic car rentals will enable you to find a Ferrari for a one day rental that may cost around 1200 to 2800 dollars depending on the make.
One important similarity between exotic car rental firms and the regular auto rental company is that weekly rates are appreciably less costly than daily costs. Starting at 5800 dollars or thereabouts, plenty of exotic car rental dealers will provide you with an exotic car for a full week, which can help you save quite a few dollars. Additionally there are other limitations you would rarely be prepared to experience in other more basic car rental documents. For instance one can find very sharp fees for beyond the daily mileage limit, car towing isn't permitted, you are not allowed to take the auto off-road, and you most certainly aren't allowed to drink alcohol or smoke in the car. Given the cost of purchasing and maintaining these sorts of autos, enforcing such rules is sensible.
Electronic Hookah a Safer Way to Smoke
A hookah can be classified as a system that consists of a water pipe developed for smoking tobacco. It originated in India hundreds of years back and after that migrated to the Middle East.

The smoking community is now able to make use of this dependable and cost-effective optional smoking system and become free from the side effects that are associated with tobacco choices.

Businesses Turn to Body Advertising and Other Exotic Techniques
Mark Harlen isn't a member of the Millennial Generation, nevertheless he does put in lots of time around them. As a vice president of consumer and customer insights at Campbell Soup, he leads a team of researchers who invest several hours with the young clients, in exchange for cash or another benefit. We dine with each other. We cook dinner with each other. We nightclub hop along with them, he said.
The main reason? Mercurial and possessing no devotion, Millennials carry the capacity to deliver major packaged-food suppliers fits. That's why retailers are utilizing creative approaches to evaluate this population of 17-to-30-year-olds, which at fifty million strong are predicted to invest $65 billion on packaged merchandise in the next 10 years, according to recent research.
Campbell has structured its studying on a number of metropolitan market places, which include Los Angeles, London and New York, which it refers to as hipster markets. They are food-based spots where scores of Millennials assemble, pointed out the advertising and marketing vice president. By way of its engagement, Campbell has learned that Millennials handle life similar to hunters and gatherers, where they move through daily life testing.
Thus, food experts have to provide them with experiences which provide an array of foods for these folks to try out. For Campbell, this has resulted in a number of new enticing tastes and soups that will act like carry out meals, like microwave soups in pouches produced as Campbell's Go that include tastes which include creamy red pepper with smoked gouda. Regular marketing basically don't seem to hold lots of sway with the young adult people. Corporations have to be imaginative. That may quite often take senior experts beyond their usual routine of traditional marketing models. For example, body advertising — illustrating a business slogan or logo or name on the breasts or butt of a woman, taking photos it, and then employing that picture in promotional advertisements, has started to become more common. Breast advertising is something which unquestionably would not have happened even a dozen years ago.
At PepsiCo's Frito-Lay, professionals have researched Millennials by issuing them special glasses designed with a camera, which gets rid of the distraction of an extra person in the room. members of Generation Y customers can become reserved when you're with them, said Frito-Lay's vice president of development, so the glasses facilitate the business to see members of Generation Y behavior without physically being in the room.
So what has been discovered? Millennials are looking for anything at all out of the ordinary. This observation explains several of the snack company's newest products, including Dorito's Jacked, a larger chip that comes in tastes that include enchilada supreme.

WASHINGTON – The federal government reported a rare surplus for January and is on track to run its smallest annual budget deficit since President Obama took office.
The Treasury Department said Tuesday that the government took in a surplus of $2.9 billion in January. That's the first monthly surplus since April, a month that benefited from income tax payments.
January's budget figure benefited from an estimated $9 billion in extra revenue from higher Social Security taxes. That helped lower the deficit through the first four months of the budget year to $290.4 billion – nearly $60 billion lower than the same period a year ago.
The federal fiscal year began Oct. 1.
For the entire year, the Congressional Budget Office, or CBO, is forecasting that the deficit will total $845 billion. If correct, that would be first time government hasn't run an annual deficit in excess of $1 trillion since 2008, the last year of George W. Bush's presidency.
The deficit is the amount the government must borrow when its expenses exceed its revenues. Each month's deficit is volatile and can be affected by calendar quirks that shift government spending or revenue from one month to another.
The annual deficit is projected to be smaller this year because the government is collecting more revenue, mainly because of faster job growth and higher taxes.
At the same time, the government is spending less on some programs. That's in part because of spending cuts that were enacted under a 2011 agreement to raise the federal borrowing limit. Also, the improved economy has reduced demand for unemployment benefits and some other government programs.
Last year, the U.S. economy grew at a modest 2.2 percent and generated an average of about 180,000 jobs a month. Stronger job growth is forecast for this year – an average of more than 200,000 a month, some economists say. More jobs mean more income, which generates more tax revenue for the government.
Another factor in what's expected to be a smaller deficit for the year is higher taxes for some Americans. When Congress and the White House reached a deal in January to avert the "fiscal cliff," they allowed taxes to rise on individuals earning at least $400,000 a year and couples earning $450,000. And the agreement allowed a cut of 2 percentage points in the Social Security tax to expire, thereby raising taxes on nearly everyone who earns a paycheck. This year's higher Social Security tax is projected to raise about $10 billion more a month in revenue.
The additional revenue is likely to slow the deficit's growth for the rest of the budget year, which will end Sept. 30. The deficit will also likely shrink in April, when the government collects much of its income tax revenue. Last year, the government reported a surplus of $59 billion for April. A stronger economy could make this year's April surplus even larger.
The CBO is projecting even smaller annual deficits of $616 billion in 2014 and $459 billion in 2015. But as more baby boomers retire and claim benefits from Medicare and Social Security, deficits would likely rise again. The implementation of the 2010 health care law would also widen deficits. The CBO forecasts that deficits could near $1 trillion again by 2023.
Republicans and the president agree on the need for a plan to contain the deficits, but they are at odds over the details. Republicans want to trim growth in Social Security and Medicare spending but oppose any further tax increases.
Obama has said he is willing to consider cuts in the growth of entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security, but he argues that a balanced approach will require further tax increases on the highest earners.
The government has run annual deficits for more than a decade. Obama's presidency, which began in the aftermath of the financial meltdown, has coincided with four straight $1 trillion-plus deficits.
The gaps reached a record $1.41 trillion in fiscal 2009, which began nearly four months before Obama took office. That deficit was due largely to the worst recession since the Great Depression. The budget gaps in 2010 and 2011 were slightly lower than the 2009 deficit.
Bush ran annual deficits through most of his two terms in office after he won approval for broad tax cuts and launched wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The last time the government ran an annual surplus was in 2001.

Great Service and Product

Attention to Detail
Classic Elegance Rectangle Invitations MagnetStreet's attention to detail noticed an error on my wedding invitations I ordered. They called me right away and fixed the issue before printing-- saved me hundreds of dollars. Not their job but they took the time to go the extra mile and I will only do business with them going forward. THANK YOU!
Classic Elegance Rectangle Invitations The invitations we perfect! Everyone has complemented us on them!
Elegant Invitation
Classic Elegance Rectangle Invitations The invitations we ordered are extremely elegant and appropriate for our casual but classic church wedding. I was thrilled with the detail and the ability to customize the entire invitation! My complaints would be the quality of the envelope - they are extremely thin where I was looking for a heavier envelope. Also, the font color on the invitation was not exactly how I believe I ordered it. It alternated between dark brown (my choice) and black (the default color). I believe I changed all the font myself to dark brown when creating the invitation - however, this could have been my error. Luckily the dark brown I chose and black are very similar so it isn't noticeable unless really looking.
Beautiful design and quality
Classic Elegance Wedding Table Numbers I received my table numbers cards and they are more lovely in person that I expected. I was very happy with the transaction and would definitely recommend Magnet Street to my friends.
