Dr. Scholl's Footmapping kiosks help people find the right insole for their arch type and foot pressure points. These do-it-yourself kiosks can be found at major retailers and used at no cost. Up to 14 different insoles are provided at the kiosk to buy based on the recommendation.
Find a Dr. Scholl's FootMapping Kiosk

Dr. Scholl's FootMapping Machine

Dr. Andrew J. Schneider, a podiatrist with Tanglewood Foot Specialists describes the technology: "The Dr. Scholl's kiosk provides a static, weight bearing footprint and recommends a packaged insole based on size and general foot structure. A similar device is the Aetrex iStep, which is found in many podiatrist's offices and at pedorthist stores. It also does a custom mapping of the foot and recommends a Lynco product." Some running shoe stores also use this sort of device to do a foot analysis.

The FootMapping scanner takes a static look at the footprint. Dr. Schneider commented, "The mechanics of the foot are not taken into account." He considers the AMFIT system, which creates a custom insole from a static, weightbearing model of the foot to be a step up from the FootMapping scanner and the Aetrex iStep.

Getting a Footmapping

I visited the kiosk at my local Wal-Mart store. I took off my shoes and stepped onto the platform. It took only moments to map the pressure points on my feet. Then it asks you to stand on one foot, in turn, while it maps each foot individually. At the end, it gave me a recommendation for an insole for a person with low arches and high foot pressure. That sounded correct for me.

I could then have bought one of their insoles for $49.96. An insole might provide better cushioning and arch support than the insoles that come with athletic shoes, which generally do not have arch support or extra cushioning.

Insole Recommendations

The Dr. Scholl's insoles are labeled as "Custom Fit Orthotics." While they vary as to cushioning location and arch height in 14 different combinations, they are not the individualized custom orthotics that are built by a prescription from a podiatrist.

Dr. Schneider says, "These insoles are certainly better and more supportive than their general off-the-shelf insoles, but not nearly as supportive as a custom device. It is not as reliable as a custom orthotic made from a mold of the foot by a podiatrist."

Dr. Lisa Kleymeyer of the Aesthetic Family & Podiatry in Sarasota, Florida says, "I always recommend over-the-counter products to my patients before having them invest in a custom functional orthotic device. I generally advise spending $20 to $40 a pair. I also encourage them to go to stores that offer assistance from trained staff to choose which type is right for them."

Bottom Line on Dr. Scholl's FootMapping

An over-the-counter insole can provide arch support and cushioning beyond what is built into an athletic shoe. Athletic shoes, in general, do not have any arch support, and their removable insoles do not have any extra cushioning. A footmapping kiosk may help point you towards the right kind of insole.

You may want to search for a local athletic shoe store or Walking Co. store that will do foot analysis for free, and compare that with the results from the Dr. Scholl's kiosk. They may offer custom-molded insoles they can create on the spot that will meet your personal needs although they will probably be twice the price as the Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit Orthotics.

Possible Tax on ammo

Possible Tax on ammo
Not sure how raising the price of ammo, by instituting a national tax, will make anyone "safer".
If by "safer" you're using the logic of "if you raise the price of ammo enough so no one can afford it, thus rendering guns useless", your mistaken.
I feel raising the price will have the opposite affect. People will still buy ammo, they just won't buy as much. Buying less ammo will result in less training, which will lead to more problems down the road. That's like telling your kids that you can't afford to teach them to drive because gas is too expensive but it's ok because when the time comes, they'll just automatically know how to drive safely.
One of the most dangerous things is an inexperienced person with a firearm. If the government really cared about public safety, they would make ammo as affordable as possible and encourage gun owners to not only be educated and safe, but also to practice, and become familiar with their firearms, as much as possible.
Look at all the first time buyers spurred on by the hype. How many of them do you think actually bought more than a box of ammo? Of those that did, how many do you think actually learned how to use what they bought? Look at all the people that buy something for home defense and never learn how to use it. What do they think will happen if they ever need to use it?
I'm not saying I know the answer but I do know that making ammo more expensive will not make people any "safer".
Any thoughts? Curious to hear views from both sides.

New - (October 26th, 2011) - At least nine people have died and several others are missing after
torrential rains caused flash flooding in central and northern Italy.
About 50 centimeters of rain fell in just a few hours overnight Tuesday,
causing rivers to flood and bridges to collapse, while landslides and mudslides made many roads impassable. The hardest-hit areas were the Tuscany and Liguria regions.
The flooding has disrupted electricity, water, gas and telephone services, while trains were stopped in areas with landslides.
Police have rescued dozens of people, but the rain is hampering rescue operations. Authorities have warned residents not to go out.
The bad weather was expected to spread to the rest of Italy Wednesday.

"Better Together -- The Great Community Book Read," is a program is built around the shared experiences of people reading and talking about the same book. On March 12, 2009, WTIP brought four community leaders into the studio to discuss their community book read experience.
Hosts Jay Andersen and Barbara Jean Meyers discuss the issues with Mayor Sue Hakes, County Commissioner Jim Johnson, City Councilor Kay Costello, and Jessa Wallendal from the Birch Grove Foundation. It was a special Second Thursday Community Conversation based around the community book read of "Better Together, Restoring the American Community" by Robert Putman and Lewis Feldstein.

" Genre: Pop / Artist: Delphic / Audio CD released 2010-01-11 at Chimeric / Polydor "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Sometime around 2010, flicking through music channels, MTV2 (now MTVROCKS) played the music video for Delphic's second single 'Doubt'. The video was just plain weird - a few models with odd origami shaped body protrusions and finishing like something from the eighties, with all sorts of fancy colourful lighting and dodgey effects. Delphic would also go onto release 'Halcyon' with an equally strange video of numerous robed women posing about on a mountainside as hail rains down, along with a re-release of 'Counterpoint'. Perhaps prematurely or unfairly billed as a most promising newcomer in 2010, Delphic go all out with a multi-genre, classy debut.
The introduction of Delphic is as you'd expect - strangely etherial sounding with ghostly vocals, a ringing guitar and numerous clicks and synth effects combining into an explosive first track called 'Clarion Call'. The music constantly builds up with resolute vocals, cut off by a visceral guitar solo - the impression so far is short and sweet. Then comes the most well known track 'Doubt' with a vowel muddled vocal intro and stop-start drum loops. "All thats left for you is doubt" lead singer and bassist James cook tells us, backed up by his fellow bandmates, the chorus rings out in your ears as one of the most catchiest songs on the album, which also features another heavenly harmonious guitar solo from Matt Cocksedge. The song goes past like a twitchy blur after a lot of super fast, fuzzy special effects and echoed guitar samples, that blend in like spatters of rain against the harsh computerised percussion. Things get bassy and techno in 3rd track 'This Momentary' as it all gets a bit repetitive saying "Lets do something real" followed by a few ooh's and ahh's, then a remixed version of the lyrics. Drums go all out like Tarzan and build some momentum but it all just fades out and feels a bit empty.
'Red Lights' is downright funky from the get go showing off bouncy bass and fluttering guitar, until the words 'red lights' gets muttered and copied and pasted about ten times in a row. At this point, the vocals all sound like one trick ponies, long winded speeches that are echoed by a low pitched backing vocal. Such a relief 'Acolyte' is, being a pure 8 and a half minute long club/mix instrumental. You feel like getting the glow sticks out a minute in as Delphic push the song forward. Subtle, soft little melodies get interrupted by strong bass tracks and angelic choir like vocals. Theres a lot of techno computer-ish noises firing around in parts of the song, along with a handful of phaser like effects and even a crazy piano/synth hash up, sliding across all the keys. Its insane but a justified title track. 'Halcyon' effectively recruits you as a second vocalist just to say something along the lines of "ahhhuhhhhAHHHHUHHHAHH". It continues the theme with loads of synth loops and funny voice masks but also another classy, sharp solo which acts as a cue for the song to wander a bit, bringing in more symbol and more emphasis on the singing - "Give me something I can believe in" followed by uurrghhs and ahuhs.. the lyrics aren't exactly up to scratch but the feel of the songs makes the most impact.
My favourite track is up next in 'Submission' - Cook's best vocal and lyrical performance of the album, showing good range in a desperate "I can't keep giving into mistakes I've made, I can't keep living life left behind.. I don't recognize myself". Undoubtably followed by a gritty gain galore guitar solo. Not exactly hard rock but the heaviest, emotion fueled song found on the album. Delphic go hyper afterwards as 'Counterpoint' has some ludicrous synth and drums charging through the song like a kid on a sugar high. "Just tell me nothings wrong, nothings wrong, nothings wrong.. today" is an all too repetitive and memorable chorus. Lazer sounds and dolphin like noises pop up now and again, but its all so freakishly blissful, especially after a calm interlude and brilliantly timed high pitch guitar work. The vocals really get pushed to the limit here. 'Ephemera' doesn't really offer much - a 2 minute long haunting, atmospherical haze that sounds more like something Sigur Ros would pull off. The lads from Manchester save their best efforts for last with chill-out show-stopper 'Remain'. All the singing is pristinely focused and mellow against the score of a ghostly piano number. "Give it all just to get it, you're missing pieces everywhere. Waiting for something better, but nothing ever seems to change/a hiding shadow they'll remain" the chorus gets build up even more each chorus, and ends up being bettered by 4 notes on a guitar - somehow original and simply genius - I'd recommend listening to this to get a feel for the album.
Delphic are a nice change to the often ordinary sounds heard far too often on the radio, if a little weird in places. Still, robotic dance mix indie techno might just catch on..
Delphic are an alternative dance band from Manchester, where usually indie music has the biggest influence amongst new bands following the legendary acts that have come out of that part of the UK over the past 20 years.
Delphic have had moderate success which has been slowly building due to songs being used in adverts as well as impressive live performances on Jools Holland and on tour. This is my review of the their debut album 'Acolyte': -
Clarion Call - The song starts with a guitar, which does feature more heavily than you would normally give a dance band credit for. It gives scope to the idea that they use musical instruments to compliment their sound rather than just be restricted. Decent opener 8/10
Doubt - An immediate standout due to its awesome keyboards, synths, vocals which culminate into an almost catchy pop song though still maintains its alternative roots. 10/10
This Momentary - Starting with an infectious bass line followed by a double vocal take that builds up with guitars into another great song. The vocals are often fed back like samples but all contribute to making it a unique but easy to access track 9/10
Red Lights - Another guitar and bass led song but alongside simple but effective drum beats and superb vocals. This song is probably my favourite on the album as it probably epitomises what makes the album/band so good. At over 6 mins long it may struggle to make a single release but worth purchasing the album for 10/10
Acolyte - title track and instrumental, this track is another lengthy song at 8:51 and is the most raw 'dance' track on the whole album. Again shows the diversity of the album and talent of the band 8/10
Halycon - Another single and probably best known track due to the success of the phone advert with it on the soundtrack. Once again it is catchy enough to capture a commercial audience without losing its commitment to the bands sound. Another standout 10/10
Submission - Sounds like something out of the 80s but not quite as cheesy as new romantic bands but with some definite influences from that decade of music. Another demonstration that dance music can be accessible 9/10
Counterpoint - The dance sound is more clear on this track but again possess the main traits of the lead singles off the album and for that reason is 9/10
Ephemera - Another instrumental and sounds like early Sigur Ros, a little weird compared to the rest of the album but another example of the versatility in their music 7/10
Remain - Great closing track that builds up and uses the dance element once again to good effect. A bit slower than some of the other songs on the album but probably the best tempo to close a great album 9/10
As you can tell by the high marks given to individual tracks I really rate this album but it goes beyond that - the album flows really well as a whole, which is something in itself when you consider that the album format is considered a bit dated now.
Judging by the variation of the music on the album, Delpic could well carve out a decent career in the modern day music climate. It is clear that they can have an impact on the charts (the album has peaked at number 8) as well as have enough of an alternative sound to appease the music bods who dont appreciate bands who release 'chart' music.
I downloaded this for around £5 from play.com, a couple of pounds cheaper than buying the hard copy (sign of the times) but shopping around I am sure you can probably pick it up around that price in HMV, or certainly on amazon. If I had paid double that I would still feel that the album is value for money. I must have listened to it 10 times over the first day I got it and still dont tire of it.
Check out the lead singles 'Halycon' and 'Doubt' individually if you aren't sure if you will like Delpic. The videos are both worth watching if you want to the see the visuals attached to the band, both are available on youtube, and fairly regular appearance on MTV Rocks, NME TV and the like.
Overall, I would recommend this album, the first great album of 2010

Decent inexpensive powder drop

I've got the Lee auto-disk and a Hornady LNL measure. They both work just fine with every powder I've used that wasn't "stick" powder. With stick powder, the Lee works better.
Two tricks to get the auto-disk to drop consistently:
1. The first drop you make after filling the hopper should go right back into the hopper because it's usually heavier than anything you'll get going forward. Do the same thing if you re-start your loading process after taking a break. If the measure sits a long time the charge in the disk will compress slightly.
2. If you use a disk, or disk combination that you haven't used before, run half a pound of powder through it before you load with it. That seems to solve any static electricity problems that could lead to inconsistent drops.

It's posts like this that make me sick. Has the Ellis hate seriously reached the point to where we're debating between him and Reddick? Do you honestly believe the Bucks are a better team if you just eliminate Monta from our roster? Has it really come to that? Wow.
Reddick would be someone who could replace Dunleavy as our bench shooter, but I don't want him as a starting SG.
I agree. It makes sense to compare Dunleavy and Redick. But Ellis and Redick?

Nextant Aerospace is announcing today at ABACE 2014 that it has selected Avic International Aero-Development as its exclusive sales representative for the Greater China region (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau). This follows Nextant's appointment of Nextant Pacific as its dealer in the Asia-Pacific region (not including Greater China).
Nextant Aerospace of Cleveland, Ohio, specializes in the remanufacturing of business aircraft. Its first product is the Nextant 400XTi twin-engine jet, a Beechjet 400A/XP with new Williams International FJ44-3AP engines and Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics as well as other aerodynamic and reliability improvements. The company is currently developing the G90XT, a modified King Air 90 twin turboprop with new GE H75 engines and Garmin G1000 avionics.
Nextant Aerospace expects to receive CAAC certification for the 400XTi this year. "We put in an application with the CAAC last year," said Nextant president Sean McGeough, "and we're working with a consultant to fast-track that."
While the Beechjet 400A/XT is certified in China, the 400XTi changes will likely be certified under a supplemental type certification program, he said, as they are in the U.S. and other countries. The upgrade boosts performance and delivers a range of 2,003 nm (four passengers with 100-nm NBAA IFR reserves) and a high-speed cruise of 460 knots.
Avic International Aero-Development (Booth P713) will own the first 400XTi in China and has signed for the first delivery position. While Chinese business jet buyers have tended to favor larger aircraft, McGeough, who has lengthy experience working in China, sees a ready market for the 400XTi.
"Avic International Aero-Development's focus on aviation, its extensive customer network and its market and policy insights give Nextant direct lines of communication with all of our target markets: corporations, entrepreneurs and charter operators," McGeough said. "In a climate of increased focus on efficiency and productivity, the Nextant value proposition is especially compelling. Coupled with relaxing regulatory constraints and expanding aviation infrastructure we see strong near- and mid-term potential for the region." This includes special-mission variants of the 400XTi such as air ambulance, airport calibration, surveillance, search and rescue, high density and cargo.
McGeough sees a strong market for the G90XT in China as well. "GE has a great footprint in China and the King Air is well-respected in China," he explained. "We've had tremendous interest in the last several months from flight schools and entrepreneurs in China."
"We are very pleased to partner with Nextant Aerospace for the Greater China region," said Fu Yuming, vice president of Avic International Aero-Development. "Senior business leaders in China are looking for cost-effective solutions for travel within China that isn't reliant on commercial airline schedules. The 400XTi has the ability to fly direct anywhere in China and provide needed private space to conduct business during the flight. It is a high-quality product at a reasonable cost, and that kind of value will be in high demand in the coming years."

China a Scapegoat for U.S. Stocks?
From MarketBeat:
So did China really ignite the stock selloff in U.S.? Or was the world's second largest economy merely the scapegoat for a long overdue pullback?
We'll take the latter.
Stocks fell on Wednesday, although the selloff wasn't nearly as bad as initially feared. Worries over China's growth prospects were widely cited as the catalyst for the declines.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished down 69 points, or 0.5%, at 13170.19. At one point the blue-chip index was down as much as 116 points. But it inched back throughout much of the day. The damage was less significant for the S&P 500, which fell 0.3% to 1406. The tech-heavy Nasdaq trickled down 0.1% to 3074.
"Early weakness gave way to strength most of the rest of the day, like so many other sessions in the past few months," said Jason Goepfert of Sundial Capital Research.
So what about China: Should we be worried? An executive at Australian mining giant BHP Biliton warned that China's demand for iron ore will flatten as the country's economy slows. That caution flag sent ripple effects through global markets. Dennis Gartman, an investor and newsletter writer, even went so far as to describe China as the market's "most serious concern."
If that's truly the case, stock investors really don't have anything too troubling on their plates these days.
Sure, China previously slashed its 2012 GDP growth target to 7.5%, an eight-year low. And higher gas prices in the region will undoubtedly weigh on Chinese consumers.
But China's growth concerns have been well documented. We don't mean to pooh-pooh these worries, but with Europe recently moving out of the spotlight, investors have been craving for a reason to briefly take some chips off the table.
China initially proved to be the perfect catalyst. However concerns were fleeting and stocks finished well off session lows.
The Dow and S&P 500 have only suffered two declines in the last 10 trading days. Phil Roth, chief technical market analyst at Miller Tabak & Co., says he must see evidence of "increasing selling pressure on pullbacks" before predicting the market is poised for a sustained downturn.
That evidence has not presented itself yet.
Trading volume fell yesterday compared to Monday's activity when stocks rose. And volume figures – although still down from a year ago — have shown small signs of picking up when the market has risen as opposed to when it has dropped. This suggests momentum is still in the bulls favor.
"Picking a top is still a loser's game," Mr. Roth says.

It's properly named. There really is a honey-like taste to the tea. Unfortunately a bitter/astringent taste followed it. The sweet/bitter mix was a bit too much for me. It wasn't horrible, but I didn't particularly want to finish drinking it, either.
Oversteeping and not sweetening could have been part of the problem. The only other mates I've had a lot of are Chocolate Rocket and Chai Amazonia, and I've let both steep for a looong time and don't sweeten either. Neither suffers for it. Maybe Honey Bee does.
I have enough in my sample to make a couple more cups. I'll try it again, steeping for the recommended time and maybe adding a sweetener.

Why brown bread is better?
Your friend always opts for brown bread at the sandwich counter. Broken, husked brown rice is your colleague's choice for lunch. Wondering what this brown-eating fettish is about and if you too must switch? We get your queries answered by experts.health and fitness Updated: Jan 17, 2013 10:47 IST
Your friend always opts for brown bread at the sandwich counter. Broken, husked brown rice is your colleague's choice for lunch. Wondering what this brown-eating fettish is about and if you too must switch? We get your queries answered by experts.
Brown vs white rice
When it comes to food, the thumb rule is to opt for naturally brown or dark coloured food as they are rich in nutrients, antioxidants and phytochemicals that help the body to deal with cell damaging free radicals. Although brown rice or hulled rice, and white rice have similar amounts of calories and carbohydrates, the main differences lie in processing and nutritional content. When only the husk is removed, brown rice is produced. To produce white rice, the next layers underneath the husk — the bran layer and the germ — are removed, leaving only the starchy endosperm. Several vitamins, fibre and dietary minerals as well as nutritious bran oil are lost in this removal and the subsequent polishing process, says clinical nutritionist Deepti Khatuja of Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurgaon.
Brown vs white bread
With white bread again, the difference is that the flour is more processed than that in whole wheat bread, and in this processing, the germ and bran of the wheat grain are removed, and only the white, starchy endosperm is left, which is the least nutritious.White breads also often contain added sugars, including high fructose corn syrup. Consuming excessive amount of all this may lead to weight problems resulting into various degenerative diseases including diabetes and cardiovascular problems, says Dr Khatuja.
Whole wheat flour, on the other hand, has the germ and bran intact and therefore contains more nutrients. The brand in whole wheat flour bread provides fibre, protein, vitamin E and B, magnesium, manganese, iron, phosphorous, potassium and zinc. Whole wheat also contains a phytonutrient called plant lignans that has been found to have a protective effect against breast cancer and heart disease.
Want to Bake brown bread at home? Here's how
800gm atta (whole wheat flour), 200gm maida, 30gm yeast, 25gm gluten, 30gm sugar, 20gm salt, 100gm oat flour, 500gm water, dry oregano to sprinkle on the top
Sift the atta and maida together in a big mixing bowl. Add the oat flour, yeast, gluten, sugar, salt and mix well. Now, add water to make a dough out of it. Prepare the dough well and to check its elasticity pull out a small ball and roll it out. The dough should be smooth enough. Now divide the dough in four parts and transfer it in four separate baking dishes and let it rise for at least 30 minutes. Keep checking after every 15 minutes. Once the dough rises, bake it in the oven at 190-200 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle dry oregano over the freshly prepared bread.
What to keep in mind when buying brown bread
Check label to see that the first ingredient listed is either whole wheat (atta) or whole meal flour. Do not buy if only wheat flour or refined wheat flour is mentioned and whole wheat flour is mentioned as the fourth or fifth ingredient. If the label reads 'enriched', the flour is same as that for white bread.
The presence of caramel as an ingredient on the label often indicates bread colouring to darken white bread to brown.
On the label, check for less than 401mg sodium, 1gm saturated fat and 4gm fibre per 2 slice serving.

AHRI Opposes DOE Notice
AHRI's comments stressed that residential condensing units and outdoor units are and have always been products covered by EPCA that must, as part of a system, comply with federal minimum energy efficiency standards for residential central air conditioners and heat pumps. AHRI believes that the imposition of separate efficiency requirements on condensing units and outdoor units would constitute unwarranted and unlawful double regulation of central air conditioners and heat pumps, and would increase the regulatory burden on manufacturers contrary to President Obama's Jan. 18, 2011, executive order to reduce regulatory burden. AHRI urged DOE to withdraw its proposed determination to treat condensing units and outdoor units as new or separate EPCA-covered products.

- About This Guide
- Index
- Glossary
Have you ever participated in a long-distance phone call that involved a satellite connection? The conversation might be interrupted with brief, but perceptible, gaps at odd intervals. Those gaps are the time, called the latency, between the arrival of packets being transmitted over the network. Some network traffic, such as voice and video, cannot tolerate long latency times. Quality of service (QoS) is a feature that lets you give priority to critical traffic, prevent bandwidth hogging, and manage network bottlenecks to prevent packet drops.
Note For the ASASM, we suggest performing QoS on the switch instead of the ASASM. Switches have more capability in this area.
This chapter describes how to apply QoS policies and includes the following sections:
•Licensing Requirements for QoS
You should consider that in an ever-changing network environment, QoS is not a one-time deployment, but an ongoing, essential part of network design.
This section describes the QoS features supported by the ASASM and includes the following topics:
•DSCP and DiffServ Preservation
The ASASM supports the following QoS features:
•Policing—To prevent individual flows from hogging the network bandwidth, you can limit the maximum bandwidth used per flow. See the "Information About Policing" section for more information.
A token bucket is used to manage a device that regulates the data in a flow. For example, the regulator might be a traffic policer or a traffic shaper. A token bucket itself has no discard or priority policy. Rather, a token bucket discards tokens and leaves to the flow the problem of managing its transmission queue if the flow overdrives the regulator.
A token bucket is a formal definition of a rate of transfer. It has three components: a burst size, an average rate, and a time interval. Although the average rate is generally represented as bits per second, any two values may be derived from the third by the relation shown as follows:
average rate = burst size / time interval
Here are some definitions of these terms:
•Average rate—Also called the committed information rate (CIR), it specifies how much data can be sent or forwarded per unit time on average.
•Burst size—Also called the Committed Burst (Bc) size, it specifies in bits or bytes per burst how much traffic can be sent within a given unit of time to not create scheduling concerns. (For traffic shaping, it specifies bits per burst; for policing, it specifies bytes per burst.)
•Time interval—Also called the measurement interval, it specifies the time quantum in seconds per burst.
In the token bucket metaphor, tokens are put into the bucket at a certain rate. The bucket itself has a specified capacity. If the bucket fills to capacity, newly arriving tokens are discarded. Each token is permission for the source to send a certain number of bits into the network. To send a packet, the regulator must remove from the bucket a number of tokens equal in representation to the packet size.
If not enough tokens are in the bucket to send a packet, the packet either waits until the bucket has enough tokens (in the case of traffic shaping) or the packet is discarded or marked down (in the case of policing). If the bucket is already full of tokens, incoming tokens overflow and are not available to future packets. Thus, at any time, the largest burst a source can send into the network is roughly proportional to the size of the bucket.
Policing is a way of ensuring that no traffic exceeds the maximum rate (in bits/second) that you configure, thus ensuring that no one traffic flow or class can take over the entire resource. When traffic exceeds the maximum rate, the ASASM drops the excess traffic. Policing also sets the largest single burst of traffic allowed.
•DSCP markings are preserved on all traffic passing through the ASASM.
•The ASASM does not locally mark/remark any classified traffic, but it honors the Expedited Forwarding (EF) DSCP bits of every packet to determine if it requires "priority" handling and will direct those packets to the LLQ.
•DiffServ marking is preserved on packets when they traverse the service provider backbone so that QoS can be applied in transit (QoS tunnel pre-classification).
The following table shows the licensing requirements for this feature:
All models
Base License.
This section includes the guidelines and limitations for this feature.
Context Mode Guidelines
Supported in single context mode only. Does not support multiple context mode.
Firewall Mode Guidelines
Supported in routed firewall mode only. Does not support transparent firewall mode.
IPv6 Guidelines
Does not support IPv6.
Model Guidelines
•(ASASM) Only policing is supported.
Additional Guidelines and Limitations
•QoS is applied unidirectionally; only traffic that enters (or exits) the interface to which you apply the policy map is affected. See the "Feature Directionality" section for more information.
•For policing, to-the-box traffic is not supported.
This section includes the following topics:
•Configuring a Service Rule for Policing
To create a policy map, perform the following steps.
•You cannot use the class-default class map for priority traffic.
•For policing, to-the-box traffic is not supported.
•For policing traffic, you can choose to police all other traffic, or you can limit the traffic to certain types.
Step 1
class-map policing_map_name
hostname(config)# class-map policing_traffic
For policing traffic, creates a class map to identify the traffic for which you want to perform policing.
Step 2
match parameter
hostname(config-cmap)# match access-list policing
Specifies the traffic in the class map. See the "Identifying Traffic (Layer 3/4 Class Maps)" section for more information.
Step 3
policy-map name
hostname(config)# policy-map QoS_policy
Adds or edits a policy map.
Step 4
class policing_map_name
hostname(config-pmap)# class policing_class
Identifies the class map you created for policed traffic in Step 1.
Step 5
police {output | input} conform-rate [conform-burst] [conform-action [drop | transmit]] [exceed-action [drop | transmit]]
hostname(config-pmap-c)# police output 56000 10500
Configures policing for the class. See the followingoptions:
•conform-burst argument—Specifies the maximum number of instantaneous bytes allowed in a sustained burst before throttling to the conforming rate value, between 1000 and 512000000 bytes.
•conform-action—Sets the action to take when the rate is less than the conform_burst value.
•conform-rate—Sets the rate limit for this traffic flow; between 8000 and 2000000000 bits per second.]
•drop—Drops the packet.
•exceed-action—Sets the action to take when the rate is between the conform-rate value and the conform-burst value.
•input—Enables policing of traffic flowing in the input direction.
•output—Enables policing of traffic flowing in the output direction.
•transmit—Transmits the packet.
Step 6
service-policy policymap_name {global | interface interface_name}
hostname(config)# service-policy QoS_policy interface inside
Activates the policy map on one or more interfaces. global applies the policy map to all interfaces, and interface applies the policy to one interface. Only one global policy is allowed. You can override the global policy on an interface by applying a service policy to that interface. You can only apply one policy map to each interface.
Example 45-1 Policing Example
In this example, the maximum rate for traffic of the tcp_traffic class is 56,000 bits/second and a maximum burst size of 10,500 bytes per second. For the TG1-BestEffort class, the maximum rate is 200,000 bits/second, with a maximum burst of 37,500 bytes/second.
hostname(config)# access-list tcp_traffic permit tcp any any
hostname(config)# class-map tcp_traffic
hostname(config-cmap)# match access-list tcp_traffic
hostname(config-cmap)# class-map TG1-BestEffort
hostname(config-cmap)# match tunnel-group tunnel-grp1
hostname(config-cmap)# match flow ip destination-address
hostname(config)# policy-map qos
hostname(config-pmap)# class tcp_traffic
hostname(config-pmap-c)# police output 56000 10500
hostname(config-pmap-c)# class TG1-best-effort
hostname(config-pmap-c)# police output 200000 37500
hostname(config-pmap-c)# class class-default
hostname(config-pmap-c)# police output 1000000 37500
hostname(config-pmap-c)# service-policy qos global
This section includes the following topics:
•Viewing QoS Police Statistics
To view the QoS statistics for traffic policing, use the show service-policy command with the police keyword:
hostname# show service-policy police
The following is sample output for the show service-policy police command:

Now that fall camp is weeks away instead of months, the USC football players are starting to get a wee bit restless.
The workouts are still crisp and the players are still focused, but there's definitely a buzz whenever the players take the field.
After watching the Trojans' latest workouts, I have to admit that I got a little excited too.
Here's a look at a few things that have me counting down the days until fall camp begins (by the way, it's 29).
The return of the back
Watching Allen Bradford this spring, you can see the motivation ooze every time he gets the ball. The junior running back has epitomized hunger since the first day of summer workouts, when he delivered a profanity-laced speech to his teammates to inspire them during a difficult conditioning drill. Trojan fans have wondered when Bradford would get a serious chance. Something tells me he'll be tough to ignore if he stays healthy.
Firing up the AC
I don't know that Aaron Corp will end the season as the starter or even end fall camp as the No.1 guy, but I know he deserves to be the top guy heading into practices. Corp made a play in the last workout where he bought time with his feet, bounced to the outside and lobbed a ball to Ronald Johnson. He made the play look effortless. He's also evolved as a leader, talking and joking on the field. The best part — it doesn't seem forced one bit.
Faster AND better?
USC linebackers coach Ken Norton Jr. said he thinks Michael Morgan, Chris Galippo and Malcolm Smith are a faster group than Kaluka Maiava, Rey Maualuga and Brian Cushing. He's probably right, but does that make the group better? Chances are, no. But it does mean the group has a chance to be very good in coverage and very good at swarming to the quarterback and the ball. I still have questions about how they'll be against the run, but there's no doubt Norton Jr. will have his guys playing at a high level sooner than later.
The Say Hey Safety
At some point in time during last season, Taylor Mays went from being a great safety to an absolutely dominant one. He delivered some of the biggest hits of the season, separating receivers from the ball with the force of a truck. Mays has always been in the shadows somewhat though, with huge personalities like Maualuga playing in front of him. Now the spotlight is shining even more brightly on Mays, and I want to see how he'll handle it. Knowing Mays, I doubt he'll shy away from it.

NC lawmakers vote to repeal death row law
Posted November 28, 2011
Updated November 29, 2011
RALEIGH, N.C. — The Republican-controlled state Senate voted Monday night to repeal a landmark 2009 state law that allows death row inmates to appeal their sentences by using statistical evidence to try and prove the taint of racial bias.
Since the House had earlier passed the legislation, the Senate vote sends the measure to the desk of Gov. Beverly Perdue, who signed the Racial Justice Act into law two years ago. A Perdue spokesman said she'll review the bill before making a decision on it.
Under the current law, a death row inmate who successfully appeals the sentence would not be freed, but would spend life in prison without parole.
Relatives of murder victims, clergy members, lawmakers and even a wrongly convicted man appeared Monday before a legislative committee considering the measure to repeal.
"Race continues to play a factor in our system," said Darryl Hunt, who spent almost 20 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
Hunt, who is black, said he was spared a death sentence by one juror's vote, and he noted his jury included 11 white members and one black.
Families of murder victims divided over law
"All we're asking for is justice and fairness in the system, where you won't be sentenced to death based upon the color of your skin," he said.
Prosecutors and victims maintain, however, that the law is ambiguous and is being misused. All but three of the 157 inmates on death row have filed appeals under the law.
"We are fearful that these death row inmates will be potentially released," Johnston County District Attorney Susan Doyle said, noting the General Assembly cannot mandate that sentences are commuted to life without parole.
Some victim relatives said they support the law and don't want it abandoned.
"If there is a problem with race in our justice system, I don't understand why we don't want to figure that out," said Ton Fewel, whose daughter was murdered.
House Majority Leader Paul Stam said using general racial statistics to decide individual cases is just wrong.
"Justice is personal; it's not collective," said Stam, R-Wake. "We don't punish people because they're members of a group. We don't exonerate people because they're members of a group."
Before going home Tuesday, lawmakers decided not to consider changes to the state gasoline tax. Without changing it, the tax will rise on Jan. 1 by 4 cents, to nearly 39 cents a gallon.
Republican House leaders want to stop that increase for six months, saying the increase would hurt businesses and families already struggling in this recession.
A six-month cap would cost the state $95 million, and the Department of Transportation has already budgeted that money to build and repair roads and bridges. Contractors also say a cap would cut thousands of jobs in road construction.

An excellent and sustained route; one of the best sport pitches at this grade that I've done in Boulder Canyon.
There's a tricky move just getting started at the first bolt.
I removed some loose rock on the ledge between the second and third bolts. There still is a small loose block in the corner on this ledge, but it would require a prybar to remove.
Above, sustained interesting stemming and chimneying led to the top of the V-slot, where there is a committing layback exit left at the fifth bolt. This bolt is around the corner out of sight until you start into the layback; look for it and make the clip before pulling the move.
The final steep headwall also has some hard moves. I got gray and yellow Aliens in horizontal cracks between the sixth and seventh bolts. The moves straight up past the last bolt looked very hard, so I went left to a hand crack and battled past a little bush before angling back right to the anchor.

|A good route in a bad place. Too bad it's not further from the road. Still, it was a diversion while we waited to see if the rain would stay or go, before heading up to Avalon.

Playboy: Best of Playboy's Strip Search (1997)
Yes take me on a tour of the best strip clubs around.
Playboy Home Video once again does it by showing the best seductive footage around. This time it's not playmates or famous women, but a tour of the hottest strip clubs in North America. Any man must confess that they like going to a strip club and most have been at least once in their lifetime. This Playboy video shows the most exquisite women on stage as they tease all over. Erotic entertainers are featured from cities like Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Tampa, Florida. The real treat along with the show footage is that the cameras go backstage to meet each sexy stunner personally.
Deadly Desire (1991)
The hot and sexy Kathryn Harrold is my next county neighbor!
I just remember about ten years ago watching this movie on the USA cable network and saw it listed on the IMDB. The best I remember this movie features some hot and steamy scenes of the beautiful Kathryn Harrold, and to make things better I just learned that Kathryn grew up in a rural Virginia county just north and east of me she's part of southwest Virginia! I live in Buchanan county and Kathryn is a Tazewell county native! It's so nice to know that a beautiful actress grew up not far from the place you live! This is old and never hardly gets reruns but I'm glad I saw it and I always remember the region and birthplace of the beautiful Kathryn!
Are You Lonesome Tonight (1992)
Jane Seymour stars in this sexy suspense thriller.
Are You Lonesome Tonight? isn't the best movie, but not a bad movie either. A few sexy scenes are provided even with Jane Seymour the story is as rich and erotic as ever. Seymour stars as a rich wife married to a business man who has secrets like his little thing with a phone sex girl. After the husband is missing only later to turn up dead by playing with the wrong kind of fire, a private eye (Parker Stevenson) helps Seymour solve the problem and bring justice on the situation. In the end the Seymour and Stevenson characters end up lovers, good TV movie watch it sometime all of you Jane Seymour fans.
Playboy: 21 Playmates Centerfold Collection (1996)
21 is the magic number for viewing fun!
This Playboy video the 21 Playmates Centerfold Collection is a must for any collector's library. You name it over the years Playboy has captured some of the best playmates ever on film. The most known playmate featured on this video is the sexy Shannon Tweed believe me just featuring Shannon herself is enough to make a video a collector item. Morgan Fox is also real nice plus the remaining 19 are all a golden collection of playmates, this video is a nice addition to any library.
Playboy: Babes of Baywatch (1998)
Life is a beach with Playboy's Babes Of Baywatch.
We all came to love the beautiful ladies over the years on television, well it got better thanks to Playboy Home Video by making the Babes Of Baywatch. Playboy had already had most of these Baywatch beauties to grace the pages of the magazine and it was a smart thing to take video footage of each and put it together to form an all-star line-up. Just to mention a few featured are the beautiful Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, Donna D' Errico, Erika Eleniak, and Traci Bingham. Much of this footage is beach footage but far different from the type of footage on Baywatch!
HBO Boxing (2000)
Doesn't match the excitement and realism of an actual HBO boxing telecast.
This video game is in no way like the feel and excitement of an HBO broadcast. Sure you have all the HBO signatures like KO Nation, Boxing After Dark, World Championship Boxing, and TVKO Pay-Per-View with actual Las Vegas and Atlantic City venues. The best part of the game is the blow-by-blow commentary from the award winning broadcast team of Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant and Harold Lederman. Now the bad news the control and punch style of the boxers on this game is just to slow, for some reason or another learning to masters the control and movement of the boxers is just so hard. Second problem own fighter mode is hard and dull I just don't like the divisions and features of creating your own fighter, and picking the mangers is tough it's hard to be placed in good fights early on. Sure this game has the big name HBO fighters in Roy Jones Jr. and George Foreman, but the action is the big thing that doesn't deliver the sound and commentary is great I still suggest watching a telecast for the best HBO boxing experience.
Young Guns (1988)
Now this is a western I can watch! A classic.
Being a younger generation movie watcher a western did not belong in my movie diet, that's more on the menu of my grandfather but with the modern cast like Sheen and Estevez and with the action Young Guns is my style of movie. From the first time of seeing Young Guns at the movies in 1988 to the present day each time I watch it I enjoy it. Now considered a classic with many TV viewings this is a movie you learn by heart, many of the scenes with Billy the kid (Estevez) are so well respected and remembered. The performances from Sheen and Lou Diamond Phillips are great it worked so good with the Emilio character. A great western classic to watch over and over to see how the west was won with gun-slinging.
Mike Tyson Boxing (2000)
This is no punch-out!! but still any video game with the toughest and best boxer on the planet is just fine to play.
Remember the years of the great video game Tyson's Punch-Out!!, well now try Mike Tyson Boxing. The big difference this time is that you don't have to worry about trying to beat the great Tyson, instead fight as Tyson and take on fighters all over the globe. The graphics of this game are great Tyson is looking just like his actual self all of the other boxers are neat looking despite not being real. This isn't the best video game in the world, but a game with the tough Mike Tyson attracts interest.
Headline News (1982)
The best and most accurate updated news by the minute in TV news history.
You name it you have it news that is anytime day or night every hour updated by the minute, with watching "Headline News" a person has the world right at the fingertips. Despite no longer having the talented and beautiful Lynne Russell around this 24 hour news cable service channel is still the best around as other young and talented female anchors are now driving the way of news success. Day or night turn to "Headline News" for the best and most updated information of all sorts believe me you'll be glad you did.
SportsCenter (1979)
Scores, highlights, interviews, facts, trivia, and plays of the day you guessed right it's "SportsCenter" on ESPN.
This sports news show has now been going for over two decades, and shows no signs of slowing down "SportsCenter" seems to be staying for good. You name it when you want to know anything about sports of any type tune to this day or night. I know ESPN reruns enough of these shows over and over during the mornings and during the day, but hey this is the networks bread and butter, so a viewer has a chance to catch something if they miss it right off. The reporters and anchors are some of the best and most knowledgeable in the business that is well evidenced in Chris Berman, Charlie Steiner, and Brian Kenny. Some of the female anchors are colorful and talented you can notice that so well in Robin Roberts and Linda Cohn. So if your a sports buff making "SportsCenter" apart of your week is a must.

With all the mowing, and watering, and annual re-sodding of the dogpark, wouldn't it make sense to put down artificial turf? Hell, the dogs would be happy with the stuff that was deemed worn-out and replaced on the Sycamore Park playing fields.
Or would it make sense to have another DP elsewhere, to spread the use around? There are about 10,000 dogs in Danville alone, meaning that there are that many people who might make use of these facilities.
The Hap is a terrific facility -- time to rethink its overuse in a way that doesn't close it more often? Can I get a paws-up?

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) are the liver enzymes most likely elevated with Hepatitis B and C.
Serum Bilirubin,Alkaline phosphatase has also seen elevated in Hepatitis.
As both hepatitis B and C cause liver damage resulting in abnormality in liver functions.
I hope this helps.
Please rate me highly (Star 5 Great Service), if you are satisfied with our conversation.
If you have any further query then feel free to ask.
Bonus and positive feedback are highly appreciated.
Good Luck.
Thank you.
Hello,Thanks for the follow-up.
As your ALT is slightly raised and if your other liver function test were normal then such elevation is not a significant and could be related to fatty liver.
Chances of Hepatitis B or C are very less in your case as usually ALT and AST raise more than 1000(normal range 46).
Ferritin levels can be associated with fatty liver and it's advised to undergo repeat ultrasound to screen the current condition of your liver.
Even repeat liver function test should be done to evaluate the current liver function.
So i suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

Strategic Issues in Derivative Litigation Representation
Lane Powell Shareholder Doug Greene authored a March 3 Law360 article titled "Strategic Issues in Derivative Litigation Representation." In the article, Greene discussed the potential wave of shareholder derivative litigation, which is a shareholder's assertion of a claim belonging to the corporation, typically brought against directors and officers, alleging corporate harm for a board's failure to prevent corporate problems. He also discussed some issues that are unique to derivative litigation, including the key issue of representation: "Which lawyers can and should represent the company and the individual defendants in derivative litigation?"
Because a derivative litigation claim belongs to the corporation, it puts the corporation in an odd spot. A shareholder, as one of the corporation's "owners" (usually a really, really small owner — but an owner nevertheless), is trying to force the company to bring a claim against the people who run the company.
The law says, however, that those people, the directors, get to decide whether the company should sue someone — including themselves — unless a shareholder can show that they couldn't make a disinterested and independent decision. Thus, to bring a derivative action, a shareholder must allege that it would have been futile to demand that the board take action, and defendants will typically challenge the lawsuit with a motion to dismiss for failure to make a demand ("demand motion") on the basis that the demand-futility allegations aren't sufficiently probative or particularized.

The London Borough of Westminster
City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.

SEATTLE — Jeff "The Dude" Dowd lumbered off the light rail train, sunglasses on, gray curly mop of hair nodding and his hands waving emphatically as he rattled on about politics, energy, transportation and the environment.
He was surrounded Tuesday night by admirers who greeted him on the train with "Hey, it's the Dude," and he didn't even skip a beat when a stranger offered him and his quickly growing entourage a ride to a nearby bowling alley in Tukwila, Wash., between Seattle and Tacoma. Hitching a ride to a gig was nothing out of the ordinary for the man known around the world as the inspiration behind film idol Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski.
For seven years, Dowd has left his digs in Santa Monica, Calif. to make a handful of appearances at celebrations honoring the cult film "The Big Lebowski." Filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen based the role, played by Jeff Bridges, on Dowd, who once worked at the Seattle International Film Festival and met the Coens.
Dressed the slacker part in his Hawaiian shirt, torn cargo pants and Lebowski Fest T-shirt, Los Angeles circa 2007, Dowd shook hands, posed for photos, bowled a couple of games and guzzled the requisite or two White Russian — the signature drink favored by Bridges throughout the 1998 film.
Dowd, a onetime University of Washington student, eats up the attention. He said it gives him a chance to not only entertain Lebowski Achievers, the name given to fans of the film, but to gab with people about his favorite subjects — economics, the military, Boeing, energy and, of course, mass transit. Dowd said the event in Tukwila offered him a chance to try out the region's new mass-transit system, something he has supported in Seattle since the 1970s.
"Its allowed me on some levels to have access and do things I would have never done," Dowd said. "The thing that's interesting about 'Lebowski' folks, compared to William Shatner and the Trekkies, is that they are social people."
Anthony Warner of Seattle said he spotted Dowd across the train just before the Tukwila stop and had to say hello.
Warner, 33, his girlfriend and their friend also took the train to the "Lebowski Fest" event at the Acme Bowl and, like Dowd, the three had no idea how far the light rail station was from the bowling alley.
Fortunately for the group, Robert McKee of Renton, Wash., and his 6-year-old daughter came upon them at the Tukwila station and offered them a ride. McKee has never seen "The Big Lebowski" but after 10 minutes in the car, the recently laid-off electrician said he planned to watch the film because Dowd was such "an interesting fellow."
Inside the bowling alley, Dowd was greeted by dozens of people dressed in bathrobes, true Dude style, or as their favorite "Lebowski" characters — marmots, a Folger's coffee can, Walter Sobchak and Bunny Lebowski's missing toe.
Chester Boldyn, 56, stepped aside and let Dowd bowl the first ball of a frame for him — Dowd knocked over the first nine pins for Boldyn, who then picked up the spare.
"The Dude is the best. This is like a Grateful Dead concert and I used to roadie for The Dead," Boldyn laughed.
Warner, who quickly changed into his Jesus Quintana costume at the bowling alley, said it was his second local Lebowski fest event this week.
"It's an honor to hang out with the Dude. He's a living urban legend," Warner said. "He's got a message behind what he does. I respect that."

Stephen Colbert's Word On Archie And Veronica's Engagement
From casual fans to longtime collectors, everyone seems to have an opinion on Archie Andrew's proposal to Veronica Lodge in this week's "Archie Comics" #600. Given the controversy, it's no surprise that television's most opinionated newsman Stephen Colbert had a lot to say about the comic book icons on last night's "The Colbert Report."
"It's the biggest news from the comics world since Dilbert lost his favorite mug and gunned down everyone in human resources," said Colbert, who noted they had to photographic proof of the event.
Colbert pointed out that some things don't need changing – especially in the timeless town of Riverdale. Of course, he also seemed to favor some less than progressive gender roles and stereotypes in his signature Colbert style.
Check out Colbert's comedic thoughts after the jump…
