The government had issued a warning letter in 2013 about a St. Jude plant in California.
The U.S. government expressed satisfaction with changes at a St. Jude Medical Inc. factory it cited earlier for testing and record-keeping problems, the company said Wednesday, resolving an issue that threatened approval of the company's products.
The Food and Drug Administration in January 2013 sent a warning letter about processes at St. Jude's plant in Sylmar, Calif., where it makes its Durata-labeled defibrillator leads. A lead is a wire that connects a defibrillator to a heart.
FDA inspectors in September 2012 raised several concerns about the plant, including the number of tests that were performed on the leads. The company a month later told investors that it expected to receive the warning letter. It subsequently publicized steps it was taking to address the FDA's concerns, including bolstering training for workers.
When it issued the warning, the FDA raised no safety concerns about the Durata lead or other St. Jude products.
In announcing the FDA's clearance of the matter, St. Jude said little about the changes it made at the Sylmar site over the last 18 months. The Little Canada-based company continued operating the Sylmar factory throughout the FDA's inspection and review process.
"We are encouraged by the resolution of the FDA's warning letter and will continue to work to ensure the highest standards are met across all our manufacturing facilities," Dan Starks, chief executive of St. Jude, said in a statement.
FDA warnings can prevent a company from getting products approved by the regulator until deficiencies are corrected.
Early this year, however, it appeared the matter had little effect as the FDA approved several new heart-related products St. Jude developed, including a new defibrillator lead and a new line of pacemakers.
A company spokeswoman said the firm couldn't comment on the effect the FDA's inspection and oversight of the Sylmar plant had on the broader business.
St. Jude shares closed up 0.4 percent to $70 Wednesday.
When the warning letter was issued, St. Jude told investors it was "giving the highest priority to fully remediating these concerns." The company stressed throughout the process that the FDA's concerns were on factory processes and did not identify issues related to the performance of the leads or other heart products.

Re: Draft based on...?
I would say Safety, ILB, and RB are the top areas of need right now and should be addressed in the first three rounds. Safety or ILB in the first as there is much better defensive talent there than there will be at RB.
My RB feelings might just be because of the fumbles today, but at the same time I feel the RB-by-committee approach just doesn't work well and having one back to give 17+ carries to a game and allowing them to get in a rhythm is a much better approach. Dwyer gets gassed too easily and Redman and Mendy have both proven they can't handle it.
Otherwise our recent struggles haven't really changed anything in my mind. We need a safety to replace Troy (who clearly is nearing the end of his career), maybe even a second one to replace Clark although he isn't as immediate a concern. Spence COULD be the answer at ILB but at the same time we don't really have a window to see if he is before the next draft, and there is a lot of good ILB value at the end of the first and into the second.
Obviously a backup QB is needed but at the earliest round 4.
Otherwise I think we are pretty much set personnel-wise at Oline, WR, DL, CB, and OLB (Yes, I still think Worilds can replace Harrison). Some depth picks in later rounds could be useful but no reason to take any of those positions early.

SHOREHAM — In the burgeoning homegrown Vermont wine market Shoreham Winery is the newest player.
But the business, which acquired its commercial winery license last year and debuted at this fall's Tour de Farms bike event, has been percolating for seven years now, ever since owner Greg Borah planted his first vines.
"You plant the grapes and then you realize, 'In three years' time, I'm going to have a harvest. I'd better know what to do with it,'" Borah said.
BRANDON — The polished but ancient wood floors creaked with familiarity last Saturday as old friends and customers stopped by the Briggs Carriage Bookstore in downtown Brandon one last time.
Erin Keyes, 18, considers Briggs an integral part of her life. Having grown up in Brandon, some of Keyes's earliest memories are set in the bookstore.
"Just seeing something I've grown up with end, it's like part of my childhood going away," she said, as she sat in the bench nook of the children's section with her mom, Laura King.

MIDDLEBURY — The Better Middlebury Partnership (BMP) is circulating a marketing survey to get a sense from local shoppers and merchants about how the town could improve its retail, parking, restaurant and housing amenities.
The 17-question survey is based on a similar questionnaire that the University of Vermont administered in the town of Newport a few years ago. Respondents are asked to weigh in on a series of topics, including:
MIDDLEBURY — For 20 years, Otter Creek Brewing founder Lawrence Miller had joined a chorus of Addison County entrepreneurial voices pushing for government policy changes to promote business interests in Vermont.
MIDDLEBURY — Clothing maker Geiger of Austria earlier this month cut five positions at its Middlebury facility at 38 Pond Lane, bringing its total workforce — which once numbered 70 — down to three.
"We had to downsize," said Wolfgang Miska, executive vice president of Geiger. "With such a seasonal business, it was not feasible to continue with the staff we had here."
ADDISON COUNTY — Over the past few years, Addison County retailers have been battered by a nationwide recession, stiff competition from the Internet, stressed household budgets and, this year, the crippling effects of Tropical Storm Irene.
But many local shop owners are cautiously optimistic about the holiday shopping season that they say kicked off with a bang this past weekend.
Editor's note: This is the latest in a series of articles focusing on the changing role of information technology in various sectors. The series looks beyond the push for universal broadband, asking how Internet access and the advances of technology are changing life in Addison County.
MIDDLEBURY — It wasn't long ago that a small business owner didn't have to worry about Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, OpenTable, FourSquare, TripAdvisor, or even maintaining a website.
MIDDLEBURY — New England Quality Service LLC (NEQS) is seeking zoning permission to acquire a large metal shredding device for use at its Wyre Wheel location at 4079 Route 7 south.
The shredder, according to company officials, will allow NEQS to recycle metal debris — including cars and washing machines — more quickly and efficiently.
Neighbors, meanwhile, told the Middlebury Development Review Board (DRB) on Monday that they want to make sure the new equipment doesn't bring more noise and traffic to the area.
MIDDLEBURY — Vermont Hard Cider Co. has filed plans to build a new, 87,005-square-foot bottling plant on a 27.6-acre parcel on the north side of Middlebury's Exchange Street, between the Bridge School and Maple Landmark Woodcraft.
The nation's pre-eminent manufacturer of hard cider, Vermont Hard Cider (VHC) has been looking to expand out of its current 60,000 square feet of rented space at 153 Pond Lane, where it produces and markets its increasingly popular brand of Woodchuck hard ciders throughout the country.

A HUGE DILUTION of current share capital is the best way for Punch Taverns to restructure and avoid a debt default in the future, according to its executive chairman.
The pubs business, which has spent many months trying to restructure its debt, has put forward a plan that will wipe hundreds of millions of pounds off what it owes.
Further reading
It plans to reduce its £2.26bn debt by £600m, at an EBITDA leverage ratio of 7.7x, but will leave bondholders with 85% of the company. Punch requires three-quarters of shareholders and debtholders to agree the deal, stating it had support from 65% of the lenders and 54% of shareholders.
Punch, which once ran 10,000 pubs, is looking to reduce its portfolio of 4,000 by a further 1,000.
Stephen Billingham, executive chairman of Punch Taverns plc, said the deal would provide "stability" for the business.
"The benefits of approving the restructuring are clear and of benefit to all stakeholders. It is of critical importance that shareholders and noteholders vote in favour of the resolutions in order to implement the restructuring and avoid the adverse consequences for the group of the restructuring not proceeding," said Billingham in a statement to the London Stock Exchange.

If budgeting is to have any value at all, it needs a radical overhaul. In today's dynamic marketplace, budgeting can no longer serve as a company's only management system; it must integrate with and support dedicated strategy management systems, process improvement systems, and the like. In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.

The year 1997 appears to be an innovative year for Humpuss Group (HG) which is drawing the attention of many to its business performance. PT Timor Putra Nasional (TPN), whose existence is controversial, won the commitment of US$ 690 million syndicated loan for funding the development of an automobile plant in Cikampek, West Java, designed to produce 120,000 units a year.Many still remember that not long ago Hasan M. Soedjono, president of PT Sempati Air, was replaced for the company's poor financial condition, thus delaying plan to float its shares, and at the end of August it was reported that Santun Nainggolan who had not been a year that the helm of the airline company was to be replaced. The replacement, according to Tommy Soeharto, was at his own request who felt he failed to improve the company's performance.
Lately, Humpuss made many surprising moves. In petrochemical sector Humpuss developed the largest methanol plant in Indonesia with 600,000 tons a year at a cost of Rp 1 trillion, and a condensate processing plant which will produce 70,000 barrels of naptha a day as feedstock for his aromatic plant.
Viewed from its development, the group has made service, transportation (shipping, aviation, land transportation), petrochemicals, and recently, automotive industry as its core business. Other sectors in which the group has put its stakes are infrastructure (toll road, port, geothermal power generation), timber, advertising, plantation, finance, trade (retail), pharmaceutical, construction, engineering, mining, manufacturing, and lately property.
Profile and Activities
Humpuss Group started with the establishment of PT HAVEN (Humpuss Aviation Electronics Nusantara) in 1984, which engaged in transportation/distribution services and natural resources. The company which had an initial capital of Rp 200 million was the embryo of PT Humpuss Founders of the group were Hutomo Mandala Putra (Tommy Soeharto) who owned 60% of the shares and Sigit Harjojudanto who owned 40% of the shares. Both are the sons of President Soeharto.
The group prospered Its capital, assets, and sales grew from year to year. In 1990, its assets and sales were respectively to Rp 740 million and Rp 700 million. Five years later these had soared to Rp 2.6 trillion and Rp 1.8 trillion. By having 66 companies under its control, it is estimated that in its 13th year, the Humpuss Group has assets totaling Rp 3 trillion and sales totaling Rp 2.3 trillion, and has managed to positioned itself in the 20 largest business groups in Indonesia.
HG's growth which caused it to become one of the notable conglomerates in Indonesia was linked to the business sectors into which it ventured. In the beginning, it entered transportation and human resources sectors which were regarded as "smart" ventures. Given Indonesia's geographical condition, transportation and distribution were profitable businesses. Meanwhile, oil and gas are strategic natural resources which made them reliable export commodities. In the beginning of 1990's, HG became intensively involved in natural resources like oil, gas, and petrochemicals.
In 1995, HG has made firm footing in transportation and natural resources sectors and has set up subsidiaries like PT Humpuss Sea Transport which was licensed by the government as sole distributor to transport and distribute methanol, terepthalic acid, benzene and asphalt, and PT Mahasarana Buana (Mabua) to trade, store, and distribute explosives.
Besides being sole distributor for methanol, HG got: project license through PT Kaltim Methanol Industri (KMI) to build methanol plant in early 1985. This project which is located in Bontang, East Kalimantan, is a joint venture project with Nissho Iwai of Japan, in which 70% of the shares is owned by KMI and 30% by Nissho Iwai. With Rp 1 trillion investment, the project which is constructed on an 8-hectare land with 600,000 metric ton capacity a year is the largest methanol producer in Indonesia. KMI commercial operation is scheduled to take place in the forthcoming October 1997.
Regarding natural resources business, in March 1996, Humpuss Group has started natural gas exploration in Natuna through PT Humpuss Trading which teamed up with AKER, a giant offshore engineering and construction firm from Norway. Last year HG has entered oil refinery business by constructing petroleum fuel refinery in Blora, Central Java. Through PT Humpuss Pengolahan Minyak, HG will produce gasoline ton 95 to a capacity of 119,212 tons, kerosene 35,680 tons, diesel fuel 127,985 tons, residue 115,854 tons and gas 26,288 tons a year. Construction of the plant on 120,000 sq.m. land is estimated to cost Rp 164 billion investment.
Furthermore, in petrochemicals, HG through PT Humpuss Aromatik has processed 70,000 barrels of condensate a day which produced heavy naftha which will become feedstock of aromatic plant to produce 370,000 tons of paraxylene and 160,000 tons of benzene a year. With Rp 1.8 trillion assets, the petrochemical sector is currently the biggest income contributor - about 60% - to HG.
Property a New Business
In early 1997, Tommy started to set up his new business in property sector. After his success in building a world class hotel and resort in Bali through PT Bali Pecatu Indah, he built 8-storey and 17-storey office buildings which housed the group itself. Through another subsidiary, PT Sekar Artha Sentosa, Tommy developing a housing estate in Bojong Gede, Bogor, with an investment of Rp 159 billion since last February.
In property sector, Tommy building a resort in a tourist area in Tanjung Panda, Belitung, South Sumatera. On a 270-hectare land he is developing a resort, a star-rated hotel, recreation facility, and a golf course. The Sheraton hotel group and businessmen Robby Sumampouw (Batara Indra Group) and Peter F. Sondakh (Rajawali Group) teamed up with Tommy in the Rp 350 billion project.
In Medan, North Sumatera, HG through PT Orionis Mandala Perdana has developed an integrated resort on a 250-hectare land. The project which includes housing estate (2,000 units), 18-hole golf course, 5-star hotel, shopping center, hospital and school, teamed up with a world class hotel chain (Meridien Hotels) for the management of its resort and hotel.
Property business seems to be: more attractive to the Humpuss Group. This is evident from its plan to develop a Marina megaproject in Sidoarjo, East Java. Based on site license and basic approval, the megaproject worth Rp 6.2 trillion will occupy 2,000 hectare land. In another development, HG will develop Sentra Primer Baru Timur (SPBT.) integrated project on Jalan Raya Penggilingan, Pulo Gebang, East Jakarta. In this project, HG will replace three investors PT Bumi Pandan Wangi, PT Agung Sedayu and PT Bumiayer Asri. With the presence of HG it is expected that the SPBT project will be realized and be completed by 2005. It will be developed on a 96-hectare land, on which will be centers of government activities, trade and services, recreation, and education.
Further, Tommy, who in 1995 was 13th biggest individual tax payer above Sudwikatmono, planned to build the most luxurious entertainment center in Southeast Asia on land presently occupied by Jakarta Metropolitan Police Headquarters. On the 6.S-hectare land in the center of Jakarta, ia will build hotel, apartment, sport venues, and various entertainment center.
Apparently Tommy also wants to go into food industry. Soon he and his partner Ricardo Gelael will set up an instant noodle industry through PT Goro Batara Sakti after they succeeded in setting up GORO wholesale business.
Tommy's dream of taking Humpuss into electronic business since he set up the company will soon be realized. Humpuss, together with an American electronic manufacturer, Seagate, has begun building a computer plant in Medan, North Sumatera, since March 1997. This export-oriented project costs US$ 100 million investment.
In transportation and infrastructure, HG has grown significantly through PT Humpuss Terminal Peti Kemas (HTPK) which had explored cooperation with the state railway company Perumka to develop special container rail service connecting UTPK III (Koja Container Terminal) at Tanjung Priok and the dryports of Merak and Gedebage, Bandung. This cooperation is a continuation of Operating Cooperation between HTPK and PT Pelabuhan Indonesia II which was disrupted due to land clearance problem.
In infrastructure, Tommy and Ms foreign partner Asia Power Ltd (APL) of Hong Kong through Mandala Nusantara Limited, which is 85% owned by APL and 15% by Tommy through PT Bumi Mandala Perkasa, has signed EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) contract with Sumitomo Corporation and Fuji Electric Co., both of Japan, to develop Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP). Under this contract which will last until 2001 the geothermal power plant will be built in stages until it has 400 MW capacity. This project which is located in Wayang Windu, Pengalengan, West Java, will have an overall EPC contract of US$ 650 million.
Another new HG project is construction of three apartment buildings in Gambir, Central Java. These will be located on Jalan Batu, right behind Humpuss new buildings on Jalan Medan Merdeka Timur which are used as Humpuss' head office and the offices of its subsidiary companies. Construction of the apartment is scheduled to start at the end of 1997 after all licenses are received.

HearLoss - Hearing Loss DemonstratorHearLoss is an interactive Windows PC program for demonstrating to normally hearing people the effects of hearing loss. With HearLoss you can replay speech, music and noise under a variety of loudness, filtering and masking conditions typical of hearing impairments. Best of all you can interactively change the settings and demonstrate their consequences. DescriptionThe HearLoss program plays back pre-recorded audio samples of some speech, some music and some typical background noise, either singly or in combination. As it replays, three sliders control a simulation of the effects of three common consequences of hearing loss: loss in amplitude sensitivity, reduction in frequency range, and loss in spectral detail. Changes in the amplitude sensitivity slider changes the loudness of the sound, changes to the frequency range slider changes the upper frequency limit of the sound, while changes to the spectral detail slider changes the amount of fine structure present in the spectrum. Download & InstallationThe program is only available for Windows PCs by anonymous FTP from ftp://ftp.phon.ucl.ac.uk/pub/sfs/hearloss/hearloss111.exe Program only [0.5Mb]: ftp://ftp.phon.ucl.ac.uk/pub/sfs/hearloss/hearloss.exe Full installation including sound samples - German translation [5Mb]: ftp://ftp.phon.ucl.ac.uk/pub/sfs/hearloss/hearloss120german.exe Program only - German translation [0.5Mb]: ftp://ftp.phon.ucl.ac.uk/pub/sfs/hearloss/hearloss-german.exe To download the full installation, right click on the link above and choose "Save Target As". Save the file to your desktop or to a folder on your computer. Then run the file to install the program and to add an entry to your Start Programs menu. Once installed you can delete the downloaded file. The full installation comes with three short audio samples in these files:
You can replace these with audio samples of your own. To make the audio files compatible with HearLoss, ensure that the files are saved with the format: "PCM 44.1kHz 16-bit Mono". The Windows Sound Recorder application can convert WAV files between formats. To download the program alone, right click on the second link above and choose "Save Target As". Save the file to a new folder on your computer. You will then need to provide your own sound files as described above and put them in the same folder as the program. Suggestions for UseThis is one way you might use the program to demonstrate the effects of hearing loss to normally-hearing people:
Technical detailsThe three audio files are loaded into memory and scaled so that they can not overload the output when added together. When replay starts, the combined audio is processed in the frequency domain to remove frequency components above some limit set by the frequency range slider, and to smear energy across frequency according to the setting of the frequency selectivity slider. The spectral smearing is based on the technique described by Baer & Moore (1993). Amplitude sensitivity is changed partly through the Windows audio mixer volume control and partly by scaling the signal. The graphic equaliser display is based on a number of auditory filter sized channels, each 1 bark wide. The graphic equaliser has a simple damping mechanism to reduce fine temporal fluctuations. Approximate parameter settings for the sliders areas follows:
The bark scale is a measure of auditory filter width. When the frequency selectivity control is set to one bark then sound components that fall within one bark of one another interfere and so cannot be easily distinguished as separate elements of the sound. By definition, normal hearing has a frequency selectivity of one bark, so the program does not need to do any additional frequency smearing for the normal setting. This program may not run correctly on PCs with a low processor speed which are unable to perform the frequency analysis and synthesis in real time. A processor speed of 1GHz or greater is recommended. References

Hello all. I just kegged my first beer into a 2.5 gallon keg. I decided to use priming sugar this time as an experiment. What I did was since I had a 5 gallon batch and wanted to put half of that in my 2.5 gallon keg I used priming sugar for the whole 5 gallons and bottled the other half. I did put 3.5 ounces of priming sugar for the whole 5 gallons. Is this too much for the keg portion? If so is there anything I can do to correct it when I have to?
You should be fine with the 3.5 oz for the whole 5 gallons. Some things I have read seem to want you to put less for kegging but I have used the same amount as when I bottle with perfect carbonation. Hopefully someone could chime in with why you would use less for a keg but the same 5 gallon volume. Maybe something to do with head space?
Watching with interest also since I will be kegging my first brew (5+ gal Irish Red Ale) to two 2.5Gal corny kegs. Since I only have room for one keg in the fridge (RV Keezer) I was planning to use priming sugar in the keg sitting out at room temp. Robert
I can't explain why but everytime I try and carb in the keg with the same amount as I use for bottling, I always overcarb the keg. I even got beer backing into my air lines on the last keg. This was due to the pressure in the keg being higher than my planned serving pressure. So I plan on either using less corn sugar or completely vent before hooking up a keg. I'll most likely do both.
Use about 50-60% of the amount you use in a bottle when you naturally carb in a keg. The reason is what one of the earlier posts was alluding to - a keg filled almost to the top with beer has MUCH less headspace than the aggrigate of the headspace of 55 bottles. Good luck!
Primary #1 - Midnight Ryeder (Midnight Wheat and Rye) Primary #2 - Mango Habenero Berliner Weisse Primary #3 - EMPTY! Secondary #1 - Downtown Flanders Brown (brewed August 2012) Keg #1 - Oktoberfest Keg #2 - Chamomile Honey Wheat Keg #3 - Pumpkin Ale Bottled - NONE!
Forgive me for being a newbie kegger with a stupid question. I know what venting means but my question is should I expunge all the way or just some? And also what PSI would I use to just pour from there?

A Fuzzy Classifier Based on Product and Sum Aggregation Reasoning Rule
Free registration required
Executive Summary
This paper proposes the algorithm ProSum to perform the supervised classification of the data. In the proposed algorithm data is fuzzified by using type membership function to give the feature belongingness of each pattern to each class. By using Product Aggregation Reasoning Rule (PARR) and Sum Aggregation Reasoning Rule (SARR), the belongingness of each pattern to each class is determined. Finally by using defuzzification operation each pattern is assigned with the predicted class label. In this paper, proposed algorithm is applied to four dataset: IRIS, WINE, BUPA and PIMA. Accuracy of the results is measured by using the performance measures MisClassification (MC), Percentage of overall class Accuracy (PA) and Kappa Index of Agreement (KIA).

Robinson deal done - Celtics Blog - Boston.com what are peoples thoughts, I personally like it, hate to give up house but I think Nate will be a huge impact player
As long as there is not future 1st round picks involved, I am on board. I guess we will be watching the big 3 until they are ready for a nursing home. The Celtics in 5 years will not be a pretty site.
Seems like a high reward/low risk trade. House was not performing well, though I hate to lose him on a character level. I'm not big on Robinson as an all-around player. He's just too damn small to play defense, and he's not a pure PG. But he can score, and will add a different dimension to the offense of the second unit. I don't see how the deal could really hurt the team, at worst, it's a wash, with the possibility of a mild upgrade of the second unit. Unfortunately, this team's problems are with its first unit - and an aging Big 3. Until Doc & the Big 3 hand this team over to Rondo & Perk - who are now the two best all-around players on this team - then the team will struggle. Or it may be a matter of those two guys stepping up. Rondo pretty much has, but he needs the ball in his hands all through the 4th quarter. Rondo is an elite player in this league, a game-changer on both sides of the floor. He's a jumpshot away from being a top 10 player, but he's still good enough to take 3 aging stars and carry the team to a championship. The whole team just has to be on board for that shift.
The trade was viewed as really good over at the Celticsblog. I had read an article where they were comparing House's defense to that of a matador, and Robinson is an all around good scorer, although obviously not as good from beyond the arc. I was thinking of all the Allan trade rumors. The team in which would have received Allen would have had the benefit of that expiring contract. Doesn't that mean the Celtics now have that benefit, as long as they don't re-sign him?
That says it all ... it's what they need. Especially if you can get some games where the 2nd unit wins it for you with the bigs sitting.
I'm not a big fan of this move. Robertson is a malcontent, while House was a bonafide charactor guy, who played his role perfectly on this team. His energy and leadership will be missed, as will his ability to stretch the floor with his exceptional shooting. Robertson is a good pick up and all, but I think people are going to see that talent, in a reserve role, doesn't always mean a better fit. House is a big loss IMO. Well, as big a loss as losing a reserve role player can be. I'd prefer they send Scal, and use Williams as a big off the bench.
I'd like to add, why not a Kevin Martin deal? The Kings got virtually nothing for Martin. Trade Ray ASAP if it means Kevin Martin wearing green.
I really like house as well and hated losing him BUT.....Our second unit is give the ball to Daniels and let him create or have Big Baby try and do something and trip over his own feet....Sheed can play the post or shoot the 3's.....House really was a 1 trick pony where as Robinson will be able to create on the second unit and give them more flexibility.....Plus he adds a ton of athleticism which is something this team lacks and it showed against the hawks every game this season.....Getting more athletic isn't a bad thing....i really like this trade all the way around from the house for robinson standpoint but I didn't want to give up Giddens and or Walker because I think they will be solid players one day...
I'm oversimplifying but it seems to me they gave up an older character role player for a younger point scorer with questionable character. There's the potential that this could be a VERY good trade for the Celts. Robinson is playing for a new contract. He's going to have to make an attitude adjustment and make the most of his minutes if he wants to cash in. That's not a bad situation for the Celts to be in, and they need the depth at Guard. How this works out for the Celts is largely up to Robinson - but I'd go along with Ainge in taking the gamble that Robinson will understand it's in his best interest to be a team player in this fresh start. Robinson is 25 and if he earns the playing time in the long-term can be a 20 point a game scorer, though whether he remains here on a new contract is still largely up to him and his attitude.
I don't disagree. I would have preferred moving Scal's contract, and keeping House is all. One for one, Robertson is the better player, but House's ability to play his role so perfectly, sucks to lose. Either way we're talking about a bench player. Important, but meaningless if the Celtics aren't completely healthy come playoff time.
I have a cap question. By not signing Allan next year, would the Celtics be in the running (with tweaking a few contracts/trades/cuts) for a big time free agent, like Chris Bosh? I would love to see him wearing green next year and think the Celtics could contend again with that addition.
Just saw on the news, we trade for this Robinson kid and he's not even playing yet??? Has the Flu??? House is knocking down 3 pointers already in NY...
I'd like to add, why not a Kevin Martin deal? The Kings got virtually nothing for Martin. Trade Ray ASAP if it means Kevin Martin wearing green.

Widespread oyster deaths found on La. reefs
Published: Friday, July 16, 2010 at 7:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 16, 2010 at 7:43 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS — Surveys of coastal oyster grounds have discovered extensive deaths of the shellfish, further threatening an industry already in free-fall because of BP's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The deaths are blamed on the opening of release valves on the Mississippi River in an attempt to use fresh water to flush oil out to sea. Giant diversion structures at Caernarvon and Davis Pond have been running full-tilt since May 8 on the orders of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
More than 34,550 cubic feet of water per second is flowing into coastal Louisiana, enough to fill the Superdome once an hour.
"What I saw does not look good," Patrick Banks, oyster manager for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, said in an e-mail. He said he found no evidence of oil on the reefs east of the Mississippi River, but he said they "looked to be fallow reef."
Banks dove onto reefs at Black Bay, Bay Crab and Telegraph Island, where the state is building public oyster grounds for farmers to collect baby oysters and transfer them to their private leases. Once there, they are raised to market size.
Public reefs account for up to half of Louisiana's oyster harvest, an industry that employs about 6,000 people and is valued at $330 million.
On Thursday, Banks said oyster deaths also were found west of the Mississippi, though the surveys there are not yet complete.
Reports also are coming in about damage to private oyster grounds.
John Tesvich, chairman of the Louisiana Oyster Task Force, a state committee overseeing the industry, said the reports of oyster deaths on private leases are worrisome.
Oysters use salt water to make their shells and need it to keep their vital membranes working properly. They can tolerate small doses of fresh water for perhaps a couple of weeks, but they will die if they suck in too much.
"The public reefs on the east side of the Mississippi — American Bay, Black bay, Breton Sound — that is where most of our seed comes from, and they might be closed for a long time," Tesvich said.
Earl Melancon, an oyster expert at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, said he has already written off this year for oyster production.
"If you lose an oyster reef, it takes three years minimum to get it back into production," he said. "And it could take five years."
Oyster reefs lie a few feet under the water and span the Louisiana coast. Often, farmers help build oyster grounds by dropping concrete and other hard surfaces into the water so oyster larvae can attach to them.
Most likely, the oysters that will do the best will be those close to the Gulf of Mexico, where there's more salt water.
But those shellfish could be vulnerable to the oil, which has been washing into coastal waters since the end of April.
The Louisiana oyster spawns by releasing larvae that swim through the water and find places to sit on and grow. The oyster goes through various stages — from growing a leg to losing it, changing sexes and growing a shell by extracting calcium carbonate from the water — to the point where it is big enough to sell on the market, between two and four years old.
From now until next spring, Melancon said the big question will be whether there will be a new brood of oyster larvae planting itself on Louisiana's reefs.
The industry already was reeling from several bad years marred by hurricanes, heavy rains and over-harvesting — a situation made worse by the oil spill and the freshwater diversions, Tesvich said.
Plus, a more limited supply could drive up oyster prices. But Banks said the industry has rebounded before.
"The good news is that we have been this low before," Banks said. "Mother nature is amazing and oysters can come back."

This month's Lifestyles column includes one-yard sewing projects, a fascinating history of our most useful plants and a look into the local food movement.
Though the "overnight success" story tends to make headlines, debut novels are more often the result of years of hard work and dedication. This month, we're highlighting four debuts that deserve some time in the spotlight.
Lawyer Carrie La Seur makes her debut as a novelist this month with The Home Place, a searing novel about the power of family bonds that is also a compelling whodunit. Set against the stark backdrop of rural Montana, a place that big-city lawyer Alma Terrebonne thought she'd escaped forever, the novel follows Alma's search for the reasons behind her estranged sister's untimely death. We asked La Seur a few questions about writing, Montana and the draw of family.
Judith Frank's second novel is a powerful tale of a family working its way through unthinkable tragedy. It opens as Matt Greene and his partner, Daniel Rosen, are flying to Tel Aviv—Daniel's twin brother and his wife have just been killed by a suicide bomber. Ilana and Joel left behind two small children, 6-year-old Gall and baby Noam. A devastated Daniel knows that his brother and sister-in-law wanted Matt and Daniel to raise the children if anything ever happened to them.
Three new mysteries toy with family ties, love and loyalty. How far would you go to protect a family secret? What do you stand to lose if it's revealed? Those themes lead to deliciously twisted complications.
Katherine Hall Page's award-winning Faith Fairchild mysteries have delighted readers since 1991, when she released her debut, The Body in the Belfry, and introduced the world to her charming caterer and sleuth. Small Plates, Page's first collection of short stories, is filled with wit and intricately spun mysteries, along with decadent descriptions of all things culinary. While Faith makes plenty of appearances in stories such as "The Body in the Dunes," new characters shine just as brightly in "The Would-Be Widower" and "Hiding Places." Cozy mystery lovers are sure to find a tale to sate their appetite here.
Consider one of these novels—now out in paperback—for your book club's next read.
Born in America to Afghani parents, author Nadia Hashimi grew up hearing her parents' stories of the thriving Afghanistan they left in the 1970s. But when she finally visited decades later, she found a struggling country that bore little resemblance to their memories—especially in the way women were treated. Because of the increasing restrictions on female freedom, the custom of bacha posh, the practice of dressing a daughter as a son, has become common. Hashimi's first novel, The Pearl That Broke Its Shell, traces that modern tradition back to its possible origin, a time when women dressed as men to guard the king's harem. Here, the author explains how these two cultural flashpoints inspired her debut.
On March 8, 2011, shortly before his life took an unexpected turn, Mississippi novelist Greg Iles was stopped at an intersection, lost in creative thought as he debated what to do with his new thriller about unsolved civil rights murders—a subject that was too big for one book, or maybe even two. Most writers would consider that a great problem to have. But for Iles, being forced to choose between art and commerce always sends him into a desultory funk. In such moments, he readily admits, he should not be driving.
Peter Robinson's absorbing new novel, Children of the Revolution, is our April Top Pick in Mystery! In a 7 questions interview, Robinson shares his thoughts on keeping his beloved character fresh, the Inspector Banks television series and more.

NATO, US must shore up Libya
Page 3 of 3
Another argument against helping Libya is that the country is rich and ought to pay its own way. This is true in general. Libya should eventually be expected to finance its own reconstruction.
But allowing the financial costs to thwart efforts to stabilize the country now would be penny-wise and pound-foolish. The current Libyan government is too disorganized and distracted to compensate NATO for the cost of such a mission right now. If security in Libya deteriorates further, the price will be very high for all parties.
A conference in Paris Feb. 12 aimed to reorient the light-footprint approach the US and its allies adopted after the war. France re-asserted its intention to support the deployment of European experts to help Libya get its security situation under control. But when that assistance will arrive remains uncertain, and while it is welcome, it is unlikely to be enough.
The light footprint approach makes sense and could still work. But what exists now, especially in the wake of the Benghazi attacks, looks more like a no-footprint approach.
It's time that the US takes the lead in orchestrating a modest reengagement in securing Libya's future.
Christopher Chivvis is a senior political scientist at the nonprofit, nonpartisan RAND Corporation and author of "Toppling Qaddafi," a forthcoming book on NATO's intervention in Libya.

Great customer service. Items always delivered before estimated delivery date each time I've ordered. Best competitive prices online. Great quality and range of products and brands. Will use feelunique.com again and again!!
Always a favourite must-have product, plus a towelling turban this time!
It is the best pre shampoo treatment I have ever used. Simply brilliant. I highly recommend this product to everyone regardless of your hair type. Its suitable for all hair types and I Iove the fact that it was created for Audrey Hepburn 40 years ago. Anniversary limited edition makes a perfect gift for all Elastizer novices.
Wow what great product - I love it and was blow away by the fabulous 40th Anniversary Limited Edition - and at such a great price too.
Have used this product before - very impressed and VERY well priced
Absolutely brilliant effect on my tired and damaged hair
Very good and easy
Brilliant product. Perfect as a gift
This was a present but I use it too. One product I couldn't be without.
Discovered this product in a store and when replacement required thought I'd see if I could purchase cheaper at feel unique; they didn't let me down as was able to purchase larger size on promotion (with gift) for less than I'd paid for the original.
The product was as described
would be good if packages could be a bit more eco-friendly and delivery slightly quicker, but overall good service, great website.
Good stuff, helps make your hair feel as it should!
Excellent product, never without it!
I love this product, never tire of using it.

The West Las Vegas school district is disenrolling nine children from its pre-kindergarten program. Superintendent Ruben Cordova said he regretted having to make such a decision.
As with many programs these days, pre-kindergarten has faced its share of state budget cuts. That's the result of a tough economy, where nearly 10 percent of the workforce remains unemployed.
Next year, the state government will have to make some more tough decisions on spending cuts and tax increases. In Las Vegas, where the state government reigns, we'll have to brace ourselves.
A third-place finish in this past Saturday's Jaguar Invitational — behind only Littleton (Colo.) and Rio Rancho — is further evidence that this Robertson girls' cross country team is for real.
Kaitlin Hutchinson continued a stellar senior campaign with a third-place individual finish. The Lady Cardinals' leader completed the 5-kilometer course at the Santa Fe Municipal Recreation Complex in 20 minutes, 45 seconds.
Back-to-back blowout victories were on the menu as the Robertson boys' soccer team got some long-awaited home cooking this past week.
On Monday afternoon, the Cardinals enjoyed a scoring smorgasbord in a 10-0 win over Peñasco.
Keen Martinez and Henry Robertson each scored a three-goal hat trick, and Brandon Trujillo added two goals and two assists for Robertson.
The Cardinals and head coach Clarence Montoya hope to win out their remaining games and clinch another district championship.
The state police last week arrested a man on a charge of DWI on Legion Drive, an area where the agency has been increasingly targeting drunken drivers.
Juan Torres, 29, of Wagon Mound was charged with aggravated DWI, having no insurance and driving without a license plate light. It was his fifth DWI offense, police said.
The Las Vegas police officers union has filed a complaint that the city hasn't been negotiating in good faith.
Since May 2009, the city and the union, the Las Vegas Police Officers Association, has been in talks about a new contract.
The last contract expired June 30, 2009, but remains in force until the sides reach a successor agreement.
Let's see now, in recent months, members of the Las Vegas Fiesta Council have:
• Made mistakes with last summer's event that cost money and support, but instead of working to fix the problems, they circled the wagons and blamed their mistakes on detractors.
• Made themselves inaccessible to the public and failed to produce a single financial report since wrapping up the last fiesta.
• Turned petty in their attacks on a 22-year-old former fiesta queen.
An overwhelming majority of Las Vegans would like to see more movies filmed in Las Vegas, a city survey says.
The Las Vegas Film Commission was appointed by the mayor and the City Council, and shortly after, a survey was done by the commission and prepared by Highlands University's marketing department.
The Las Vegas City Council will consider a resolution to set up a city committee for the annual Fiestas de Las Vegas.
Under the resolution, the city would invite current and past Fiestas volunteers to take part on the new committee. The city noted in the resolution that the Fiestas take place on city property.
The resolution is the recommendation of City Manager Timothy Dodge. The council will take up the matter at its regular meeting tonight.
As it stands, the independent Fiesta Council runs the annual event, which takes place around the Fourth of July.
Highlands football started this season with three embarrassing losses and a squeaker against another winless team. This is a wake-up call, our annual reminder of what a drag the football program has become.
With the usually staunch Portales Rams having a down year, the West Las Vegas football team was hoping to pick up a rare "W" at Blackwater Draw on Friday night.
Instead, they rode away mulling another difficult defeat.
The host Rams won 44-6, aided by a slew of penalties that hampered the Dons' efforts most of the evening. West showed fight on both sides of the ball, but more often than not its progress on offense was negated by procedural penalties.

Your child may need to learn specific study strategies for organizing, remembering, prioritizing, and shifting approaches flexibly. These processes are the underpinnings of strategic learning and are essential for accurate and efficient studying. He may also need strategies for identifying global themes while ignoring irrelevant details and shifting from the details to the main ideas.11, 12 Self-checking strategies such as editing, planning, monitoring, and revising are critical, as many children do not use these automatically.13, 14 The study and test-taking strategies cited below are derived from the intervention research and clinical work we have done at the Research Institute for Learning and Development (Research ILD) over the past few years, which have demonstrated the efficacy of strategy instruction for all students, particularly for students with learning or attention problems.15, 16
In order for your child to remember information, the information needs to be filed away in his brain in an organized way. The information will then be much more easily accessible when it is time to retrieve and use the information in the classroom or on a test. Tests are often used by teachers to evaluate how much students understand and retain after days, weeks, or even months of class work, reading, discussions, homework, and projects. It is important that your child develop organized systems for keeping track of information, or he may become overwhelmed or confused about the many details. You can help your child accomplish this by:
Your child will probably remember information better when it is meaningful, familiar, or even silly! The following memory strategies may help your child with those details and facts that just won't stick.

Trudging that road. | As Bill Sees It *~*~*~*~*^AsBill SeesIt^*~*~*~*~* Random Quote - The Forgotten Mountain When I was a child, I acquired some of the traits that had a lot to do with my insatiable craving for alcohol. I was brought up in a little town in Vermont, under the shadow of Mount Aeolus. An early recollection is that of looking up at this vast and mysterious mountain, wondering what it meant and whether I could ever climb that high. But I was presently distracted by my aunt who, as a fourth-birthday present, made me a plate of fudge. For the next thirty-five years I pursued the fudge of life and quite forgot about the mountain. <<< >>> When self-indulgence is less than ruinous, we have a milder word for it.

Cockroaches are insects which range in size from 10-23mm in length. They have long whip-like antennae and two pairs of wings. The two species most commonly found species are:
- The Oriental Cockroach
- The German Cockroach
They can be distinguished by their size and colour; the Oriental cockroach being larger and darker brown in colour. The Oriental cockroach, unlike the German variety, is unable to climb smooth vertical surfaces.
Cockroaches can be found in premises where food is stored or handled. They are nocturnal insects and will spend most of the day hiding in cracks and around drains and service ducting. Infestations may be introduced into premises in laundry and food deliveries.
Cockroaches carry food poisoning germs on their bodies and are responsible for the spread of dysentery and gastro-enteritis. They will feed on almost anything, including faecal matter and food for human consumption. Contamination will occur when the insect comes into contact with food or work surfaces or through faecal contamination of foodstuffs.
Life Cycle
The female cockroach produces up to eight purse-like egg cases at monthly intervals. The egg cases are thick walled and are 6-12mm in length and may contain up to 30 eggs. The nymphs of the German cockroach emerge from their eggs in 2-4 weeks and those of the Oriental cockroach in 6-12 weeks. The nymphs are similar in appearance to the adult, but smaller. As the nymph develops and grows, it moults. This usually occurs 5-10 times during its development which may take up to two years to complete until the insect reaches maturity. The life cycle is complete in a further four months for Oriental cockroaches and nine months for the German cockroach.
Whilst you can treat cockroaches yourself using cockroach killing insecticide, you are likely to be more successful by using a professional contractor. If you do treat them yourself, you must follow the instructions on the product label. If you do not wish to carry out treatment yourself, John O'Connor (GM) Ltd deliver our pest control service and they will advise you of the treatment required and the charge
You will need professional help in treating a cockroach infestation if you run a commercial food premises. You can assist by ensuring that your premises are clean and that there are no food sources and hiding places for cockroaches. Pest Control companies will treat your premises with an insecticidal spray around the boundary of the rooms, at the junction between walls and floor, behind equipment and in vents and ducting. The treated area should be left undisturbed for as long as possible. It will be necessary for them to re-treat your premises to kill any new nymphs as they emerge from their eggs.
