As part of a merger, Aetna U.S. Healthcare required employees to sign an agreement barring them from working for a competitor in the same state for two years or any competitor for six months after they left the company. Those who refused to sign, including account rep Anita Walia, were terminated.
Walia sued, alleging wrongful termination in violation of public policy and claiming that the agreement violated California law. A jury upheld the former employee's $1.2 million award.
The judges said a jury could reasonably conclude that Aetna's real motive for requiring the noncompete was not to protect trade secrets but to prevent "cherry-picking" by competitors. The judges called the pursuit of that goal "despicable." (Walia v. Aetna Inc., Cal. Ct. App., No. A091221, 2001)
This case puts yet another nail in the coffin of strict noncompete pacts.
Many companies require employees to sign narrowly drawn agreements, aiming to strike a balance between a company's confidentiality protections and an employee's freedom to work. But the whole practice continues to draw the ire of the courts.
You're in particular danger if your company operates in many states and uses a "cookie-cutter" agreement. The reason: Different states and courts put different restrictions on noncompetes. As this case shows, California is especially tough on noncompetes.
Advice: Ask yourself whether your noncompete protects a legitimate interest, extends over a reasonable period and covers a reasonable scope or geographic area.
Above all, if and when an employee refuses to sign, don't immediately fire or demote him. Always seek counsel before responding.

Wyoming Territory, 1870.
Elijah Carter is afflicted. Most of the townsfolk of South Pass City treat him as a simpleton because he's deaf, but that's not his only problem. Something in Elijah runs contrary to nature and to God. Something that Elijah desperately tries to keep hidden.
Harlan Crane, owner of the Empire saloon, knows Elijah for what he is - and for all the ungodly things he wants. But Crane isn't the only one. Grady Mullins desires Elijah too, but unlike Crane, he refuses to push the kid.
When violence shatters Elijah's world, he is caught between two very different men and two devastating urges: revenge, and despair. In a boomtown teetering on the edge of a bust, Elijah must face what it means to be a man in control of his own destiny, and choose a course that might end his life...or truly begin it for the very first time.

Gently Paced Tough and Gritty Western Romance
Surprising, Deep, Emotional
I enjoyed the depth to the characters, the development of the characters, setting and tone, the narration.
Yes, I have! It's a bit of something special when I listen to a story he narrates. This one stands up well with the four others I heard and loved.
Obviously the hero, Elijah, but I'm going to put a plug in for a more ambivalent character, the town saloon owner, Harlan Crane. He's harsh and hard on Elijah, he looks out for number one, and he doesn't really have the usual morals. But, there is something about him. There are glimpses of who he could have been and that comes out in his dealings with Elijah. Harlan reads people well and that includes Elijah. He doesn't treat him well, but he understands him like others cannot. He also doesn't think less of him for his deafness. Can't say he 'brightened' the scenes he was in, but he made me take notice.
This book was provided for me by Riptide Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

Victor Apfel, a troubled war vet, gets an odd, pre-recorded phone message, instructing him to go inside the house next door. He opens the door to find his neighbor shot through the head. But is it suicide - or murder? And is it possible that a computer is to blame?
©1984 Davis Publications; (P)2008 Audible, Inc.
"Dated, uninteresting"
A massive award winner that is too dated and uninteresting. Written in the early 1980s, the book has to explain what a cursor is. It worries about artificial intelligence and the possibility of a system that is basically what the internet turned out to be. I just never cared, especially about the 50-year-old hero who gets to have repeated sexual bouts with a 25-year-old, huge-breasted Vietnamese woman. Bechdel test: Fail. Grade: C+
If tempted anyway, the narration is excellent.
"If you wish to know more, PRESS ENTER."
Victor Apfel, a lonely middle-aged veteran of the Korean War, gets a recorded phone call asking him to come to his reclusive neighbor???s house to take care of what he finds there. The voice promises that he???ll be rewarded. Victor would like to ignore the message, but he gets another call every 10 minutes. When Victor arrives at Charles Kluge???s house, he finds Kluge dead and slumped over his computer keyboard, so he calls another neighbor ??? a computer operator named Hal (har, har) ??? and the cops. When the computer screen asks them to PRESS ENTER, they do, and this initiates Kluge???s strange interactive suicide note. Things get weirder when Victor finds a large deposit in his bank account and the cops find no record anywhere of Charles Kluge. Even the IRS didn???t know about him.
The police investigator doesn???t think it???s a suicide, so they hire a Vietnamese computer programmer named Lisa Foo to figure out what Kluge was up to. When she drives up in her silver Ferrari, she brings a little joy to Victor???s lonely existence. As the two of them get to know each other, both start to deal with troublesome issues such as Victor???s serious medical condition and the horrors of the wars they???ve lived through and the racism those experiences engendered. (The focus on the geo-politics of Southeast Asia during the middle 20th century is a refreshing change from the Western focus of most science fiction.)
Press Enter, which won the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards for Best Novella in 1985, works on so many levels ??? it???s a romance, murder mystery, psychological drama, and horror story. It???s exciting, moving, and scary. Though Press Enter is set in the early 1980s, it feels nostalgic rather than dated. Discussions comparing and contrasting the computer to the human brain feel current, as does Lisa???s understanding that her skill with computer programming gives her power over others ??? power that could corrupt her.
I read Audible Frontier???s version of Press Enter which is 3 hours long and is narrated by Peter Ganim, who does a nice job, as usual. Press Enter is going to stay with me, and not just because I have a son who???s about to leave for college to study computer programming (shudder). I was enthralled from the first sentence to the last.
"Its pronounced 'kluuj', not kluG"
Great story, and performance would be great, EXCEPT for the mispronunciation of a key name
The 'g' should be soft, not hard. The repeated mispronunciation of the key name/phrase detracts horribly from the story - it is an essential element!
The post amble description by Audible lists three people associated with the production of the story. Apparently, none of them had the professional wherewithal to check with the author, and had no background at all with science fiction or computer science, and so missed this key point. Very sad, it hurts the telling of this great story
"Good, but dated computer references"
It's an interesting mystery by itself, but without knowing it's from 1984 you might be wondering a bit about the strange computer slang and references to middle-aged Korean war veterans.
"press enter aaaaaand... DELETE"
Really this book is so terrible, so awful, I just couldn't believe that a story could be so bad. Uuugh.
I forgot to post a review when I read it. I was just so p'd that I wanted to have nothing to do with the damn thing. I wanted to forget it all together. and i had.
then today I just stumbled across it in my library and I knew I had to post something. I knew I was needed to help my fellow readers. I knew I needed to step up and save you from purchasing this POS!!!
unfortunately i don't remember any of the details to prove my case. But i just can't go back and listen to it any more. it is the worst story i have heard to date. if you want proof i got nothing, no specifics. all i can recommend is that you could look at my other reviews to see how my tastes run, and if we think alike then trust me...
Leave now and forget you saw the publishers review that made you think it sounds interesting. It is not. I am doing you a favor here… DON'T DO IT, DON'T BUY IT.

From your post it seems that you did an upgrade, if so I suggest try again with a clean install. At the very least you can try an repair install.

I've got a 2006 pt Cruiser with about 36000 miles. Manual 5 speed, 4 cyl. Its been whirring/whining some from the front end. The sound is independent of engine RPM and seems to get faster with increased spead. Checking out what could be the cause I noticed a fluid leak about a foot and a half under the car behind the driver side wheel. It looks like maybe the transaxle? Any idea if this is the case...if so is it probably a seal or indication of something more problematic?
There are several things it could be so the only thing you can do is get it up in the air and look. The thing is that many fair sized leaks will end up showing evidence in the location you described since whenever you drive anything leaking will tend to migrate backwards. So seeing evidence of a leak there doesn't mean that the leak is there.
Its often hard to tell when everything is dirty (which it probably is), but reddish would likely be transmission fluid. Brownish would likely be engine oil. Power steering fluid could be different colors, but your GM recommendation probably comes as something roughly clear. Some cars are supposed to get trans fluid in the steering so it could be red also. Your coolant is probably Dex-Cool which is orange - but the coolant/water mix will be so thin you won't likely see the color unless it is a puddle.
PT Cruiser is Chrysler, not GM
Absolutely right - my bad. The OP wrote "PT Cruiser" - I had an HHR in my head. I should stop doing this while I'm distracted by work (or vice versa).
Thanks for your help. I was thinking the humming from the front may have something to do with the leak....but logically you're right...it could be anything leaking. The liquid is dark so I'm assuming engine oil. So perhaps they're two different problems. The leak isn't as bad as I first thought. I put a pan under the leak last night and had much less than a teaspoon of fluid this morning. I guess a little liquid makes a big spot on a driveway. I'm getting it looked at on Monday.Thanks again.
Please realize that there's a good possibility that it leaks at a higher rate while the car is moving. In fact, it may not leak at all while sitting and what you collected could just be what was sitting around on the parts that it leaked on to.
I agree with Tardis. Most of the fluids in your car including tranny fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, and even fuel, are pressurized when your engine is running and not when it's parked and cool. A leak to any of these could easily be small enough to be only significant when the engine is on and leave a trace when the engine is first turned off as it depressurizes. Your brake fluid is only pressurized when you press the pedal.
Whatever the fluid is, it's imperative that you (1) check all your fluid levels, and (2) get this checked out. Some leaks, like minor oil leaks, are minor and you can live with them if you monitor your fluid level. Some leaks, like tranny fluid leaks and coolant leaks, can result in very expensive major repairs if left unaddressed. Some, like brake fluid leaks and fuel leaks, can kill you. You need to find out which yours is.
Get this checked out ASAP. Best case, you'll find out it's nothing important. It might even be condensation from your AC. Likely case, you'll find you need some repair work. Worst case, it'll save your life.
Thank you both very much for your advice. I've got it scheduled to be checked out tomorrow. I'm almost positive it's oil after closer inspection, and have been monitoring my level...also been checking my other fluid levels just in case.
Thanks again.
....no one is reading that its a five speed so it doesn't have transmission fluid, it has hydraulic fluid. Which is brake fluid that is also clear. If you think it is oil pull your dipstick and hold them side by side and that should tell you if it is. Good luck

Will Smith Will Destroy New York Again (But in a Nice Way, This Time) in 'City That Sailed'
Columbia Pictures
Can love be selfish? If it causes an entire city to detach from its underpinnings and sail across the ocean, it just might be. Deadline reports that Will Smith and director Shawn Levy are teaming up for the upcoming fantasy film, City That Sailed, which will tell the story of a New York father (Smith) whose love for his estranged daughter, living overseas, is so strong that it causes the island of Manhattan to break free from the rest of New York City and sail across the Atlantic towards her. Shawn Levy, who directed other bombastic family films like the Night of The Museum series should feel right at home with this seafaring island family flick. Writer Audrey Wells (The Game Plan, Under the Tuscan Sun) is on board as screenwriter.
While this film sounds like a funny and harmless family film about making and mending connections, one man's reunion movie is clearly everyone else's disaster film. What about the insane amount of damage to infrastructure and the loss of human life that would occur if Manhattan suddenly jettisoned across the Atlantic? But at least this one guy got to see his daughter again. It's not like he could have booked a flight or anything, or (if he's low on cash) sent a nice postcard. On thing's for sure: New Yorkers are gonna be pissed when they find out ther real reason Midtown is the newest addition to the European Union.

I'm the guy you'll love to disagree with, but will always listen to. I make the points nobody thinks of. In the end, everyone comes around.
Like the profile, can't wait to talk some shit on here...
dilfer was a joke. who is ya?
I don't even want to think about it! Check it out, if Shane wins, all of a sudden everyone is a contender at JR. Welterweight and Welterweight. All the guys I said aren't ready for a p4p title shot are instantly ready. Berto, Alexander, Khan, Bradley, Angulo, heck even Cintron and Maidana. I truly believe Shane is washed up, if he wins it would kill the minute possibility of a Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. Because Mayweather will say "I already beat Mosley". I don't think it will happen, I see Manny dominating Shane but it is a plausible thought. Shane is the slickest and fastest boxer Manny has faced in a long time.
Sorry about that. Next time I will give you credit.
Heck yeah Tony! I can't wait till Mayweather gets his block knocked off, but as a fan of the sport of boxing and a true devotee to the sweet science, that guy is amazing and it makes me sick. Love to hate him, but I have bought every one of his PPV's. As far as opinion, of course, I never claim to be a journalist. I'm a columnist, opinion is my shtick. Hopefully some will agree and hopefully it inspires folks like you Tony, to use your god given right and tell me where to shove it. Debate is good. Thanks for the post, look forward to future comments.
Shout out to the greatest Quarterback of all time. Brett Favre, I hope he's not done yet.

Aid to the Philippines from Fujairah Rotana Resort & Spa
As part of the relief efforts for the Philippines, the management and staff of Fujairah Rotana Resort & Spa – Al Aqah Beach donated several boxes of blankets, clothes and other items to the victims of Typhoon Ketsana in the Philippines.
Under the motto "Typhoon after Typhoon, the country has been battered into ruins; rains have started again, many are still missing, people are stranded without food and water" the Human Resources department of Fujairah Rotana Resort & Spa started the collection of non-monetary donations that were sent to the Philippines.
The relief efforts were highly praised by Mr. Mrad El Khoury, General Manager of Fujairah Rotana Resort & Spa saying: "The team of Fujairah Rotana Resort & Spa will always be active members in the society we are living in. This is only a humble contribution to express our compassion to those who were affected by this tragedy. Rotana has always played a major role in supporting charity initiatives around the region and we are trying our best to extend the same and maintain it here in Fujairah."

BOSTON With three of their last four games at the TD Garden, the Boston Celtics will give their fans plenty to cheer about as the regular season winds down.
But with playoff races wrapping up, the Celtics are no different than most veteran, playoff-bound teams who start to sit their best players to give them added rest.
It's great for the players. Fans who come to see their favorite stars? Not so much.
"Obviously you would love to take care of the fans," said C's coach Doc Rivers. "But taking care of the fans is winning in the playoffs. That's the way I look at it; at least, that's how it is with our fans."
Prior to Boston's win at Charlotte on Sunday, Rivers decided to give Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett the night off, so they both stayed behind in New York -- the C's played at New Jersey on Saturday -- awaiting the C's to return from Charlotte for Tuesday's road game against the New York Knicks.
It was clear after the introductions of the starting lineup against the Bobcats on Sunday that the pro-Celtics crowd was noticeably disappointed that Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen (he was still out with an ankle injury) were not playing. And Rivers totally understands.
"For our fans," Rivers said, "at the end of the day . . . I think it sucks honestly to buy a ticket and the Big Three in Charlotte don't show, especially when 75 percent of the crowd was for Boston. Having said that, they want us to win, we did that; And secondly, they want to see us do well in the playoffs."
For that to happen, keeping guys healthy is essential.
As you canvass the NBA landscape, it's littered with teams that are resting players.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant. The Miami Heat and Dwyane Wade. The San Antonio Spurs and their Big Three of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.
All have missed games this month with the goal of being as healthy as possible when the playoffs begin in less than two weeks.
Throughout the season, Boston has had its share of health-related issues.
So it should come as no surprise that in these final days of the regular season, the Celtics are still grappling with lineup shuffling to accommodate the number of missing bodies.
Ray Allen's sore right ankle has kept him out for 11 games this season, including the last five.
And with the playoffs set to start soon, there are a number of Boston players with questionable health issues right now. Allen (ankle) and Mickael Pietrus (knee) both sat out Tuesday's loss at New York. Both are questionable for tonight's game against Orlando.
In addition, Rajon Rondo (back) and Paul Pierce (toe, thigh) suffered injuries against the Knicks on Tuesday which has cast some doubt on whether they'll play against the Magic who are playing without their best player, Dwight Howard (back).
That's why Rivers continues to stress that as much as the C's want to go into the playoffs playing well, keeping players healthy is more important.
Boston now needs one win to clinch the Atlantic Division and with it, no worse than a fourth seed for the playoffs.
Players acknowledge it's important, but not if it comes at the cost of having tired legs going into the postseason.
"At this point, it's a fine line (between) getting some rest and clinching the Atlantic Division," Pierce said. "The key for us at the end of the day, we want to be healthy going into the playoffs.We feel like we can win anywhere on the road. They key for us is being healthy."

Hello everybody,
I would like to know if it's possible to calculate on this picture the surface of contact between 2 colors. In this case i'm interested in the surface of contact between the green (biomaterial) and the red (bone).
Thank you
Hi @bcarv28,
I don't think this is necessarily the best way to go, but it was fast for me to record a macro that does it (see below).
What I did:
Notes:There are some compression artifacts in the image you posted
Cleaner images should give a better result.
I also dilated 3 times for each images, I think it may be wise to go with less than that, but the result "looks prettier" with more dilations, and is suggestive of what this approach can and can't do well.
run("Split Channels");
selectWindow("surfContact.jpg (red)");
setMinAndMax(232, 255);
run("Apply LUT");
run("Make Binary");
selectWindow("surfContact.jpg (green)");
setMinAndMax(233, 255);
run("Apply LUT");
run("Make Binary");
selectWindow("surfContact.jpg (red)");
imageCalculator("Multiply create 32-bit", "surfContact.jpg (red)","surfContact.jpg (green)");
selectWindow("Result of surfContact.jpg (red)");
Question:@bcarv28, I assumed that by "surface of contact" you mean something like the surface area of the boundary between the biomaterial (G) and bone (R) objects If this is wrong please correct me.
To elaborate on the above:
Reiteration of my critique of the above approach* I'm not crazy about counting pixels as a measure of perimeter, but it's easy to do, and is likely to be closely related to "the right thing". If someone knows how to fit curves to boundaries, I'm all ears!
Ok, now i understood.
But how do i arrive to the black image ? Should I paste that code somewhere ?
Plugins > New > Macro or pressing [ will bring up a window where you can paste that code. Then there's "Run" button near the bottom left.
Plugins > New > Macro
Hi bogovicj,I agree with you with counting the number of pixels at the interface. It is a quick way to get a rough approximation of the boundary length, even if it may be difficult to relate it to a physical quantity.
Just from a "theoretical" point of view, I see two ways for trying to measure it in a better way:
We have implemented methods for perimeter estimation within MorphoLibJ. I think I can adapt it to the measurement of boundary length between two regions. I'll let you know if I find time.
I can only arrive to this step (first image). So i put the code, and 3 images was generated. At this images I will make them binary and then i dilate. But then i can't compute the areas. When i click on Analyze > Compute curvatures i got the grey image.
Sorry, can you guide me?
Oh, the issue is likely that the code I posted assumes that the image of interest is called 'surfContact.jpg'.
oh ok, now he generates only one image. So after binary and dilate i get like this. What's the step missing ?
You should not have to do any steps by hand. If the macro does not produce a results window as in my screenshot, then something went wrong... were there any error windows?
yes, only this one.
Ah! The above macro also assumes the input is an RGB image - perhaps that is not the case?
Try taking your image and getting two binary images containing your objects of interest, then runningthis modified macro:Make sure there are only two images open, otherwise this may not do the right thing!
list = getList("image.titles")
imageCalculator("Multiply create 32-bit", list[0], list[1]);
well, no error but still not your result.
What should i change to get your exactly result ?
That's looks like what I would expect from using the purple and green objects in your original image. I used the green and red ( isn't that what you want?)
yes I want the green and red surface of contact. So what have i done wrong ?
What images were open when you ran that new macro?
There should be only two images open when you run it:1. A mask corresponding to the red object2. A mask corresponding to the green object
If these two images are not present, or if there are more than two images open, the macro will not produce the right output.
I open the original colored picture 2 times and I make it binary, with no differences between images. Then i apply the code.
A mask for an object means that it should be 'white' where that object is present and 'black' elsewhere, ie, the two should look something like this:
I'm sorry Bogovicj, but can you tell me how do I create a binary mask for red and a binary mask for gree ?

[General] MEGA account suspended, new server
Hello everyone. I'm going to release a bit of vitriol even though this was bound to happen.
Just so you know that I got my MEGA account suspended due to takedown notices.
Also just so you know, the one responsible for this is removeyourcontent.com.
Apparently, its bots go around the web taking down links related to porn because it affects its owner, Eric Green. He's even targeted Gelbooru.
Due to this, I decided to buy a proper hosting service. For $7 a month and $26 a year for the domain, 10 gb of space is probably enough, unlimited bandwidth and other goodies that will hopefully avoid this issue in the future.
So yeah, I'm updating all the links to use the new hosting, and I'll probably be moving the blog to the new site too. So please tell me if you can't download from the new links.

Problems with calculating Gust equivalent mean wind speed
Hi everyone,
I've run turbFoam for a 2D problem and got the values of U for every time step. I've also calculated the normalised mean wind speed for every time step. Now I want to calculate the gust equivalent mean wind speed (GEM) for which I have to first find out the turbulence intensity, so I need to calculate the difference of the values of U in every time step against the normalised mean wind speed in the last time step, square the difference and sum them up and divided by the number of time steps. As I'm new to OpenFOAM and not familiar with C++, I just know I have to write a loop to sum up the things but I don't know what exactly I have to write:( Or is there any function like fieldAverage that can generate the standard deviation??:confused:
Can anyone help me?
Many thanks!

text: I have a rifle I inherited from my dad. It appears to be a Parker Hale in 6mm. Markings say MADE IN ENGLAND on the right side and on the left there is a crown under which is engraved BNP. The Barrel says 6mm. I wanted to restock it for my son to use as his deer rifle. Can any one fill me in? What do I have? Whose stocks might be compatible to fit it? It doesn't have the traditional Mouser safety, I though Parker Hale made good Mouser copies. I believe my Dad bought is from Herters, way back when. Thanks.

text: Hello everyone. In these forums one sees mostly threads about problems, but I'd like to know also about people who haven't had issues. Currently living abroad the US with no HTC support nearby, I'd like to know if you think purchasing the N1 is too risky to buy for me. I've read about the dust problems and the screen cracks, and it does worry me, but I'm inclined to think those who've had these experiences are a minority. I'd like to know how frequently are people sending their phones for repair, even after only 2 months. Does anyone's screen stand tall after several drops? Has any phone case/cover proven to be useful against drops and dust? I'll appreciate the comments; everyone's experience will be valuable. : ]

The Hire: Ambush Trailer (2001)
While escorting an elderly man to an undisclosed location, The Driver is confronted by a van full of armed men and is warned that the old man has stolen a large amount of diamonds. The old man claims to have swallowed the diamonds and that the men will likely cut him open to retrieve them. The Driver decides at the last minute to help him, participating in a car chase and shootout with the van. The Driver eventually evades his pursuers and watches their destruction. He then delivers the old man to a town nearby and asks the merchant if he did indeed swallowed the diamonds. The client merely chuckles and walks away. The Driver then leaves.

More than 100 Aston Martin sports cars took part on a parade on May 19, 2013 at the infamous Nordschleife road circuit in Germany as part of Aston Martin's celebration of a century of automotive existence. The 100-plus car parade, which occurred just before the 41st ADAC Zurich Nürburgring 24 Hours at the road circuit, was led by Aston Martin chief executive Dr. Ulrich Bez in an all-new CC100 Speedster Concept that was recently unveiled at the Nürburgring this weekend.
The parade also featured vehicles from Aston Martin's century-rich lineup. Taking part in this 22-km parade were: the DB5 featured in the recent James Bond movie "Skyfall"; a One-77 hypercar; the 1959 Nürburgring 1000 km victor DBR1, driven by original driver Sir Stirling Moss; and a modern Centenary Edition Vanquish carrying a number plate '100YRS'.
Also taking a good part in the centenary celebration parade is a good number of Aston Martin enthusiast owners coming from all over Europe. They brought along them their own Aston Martin vehicles like the DBS, the DB9, the Vantage and the Rapide.
A good bunch of partakers in the Nordschleife parade are a DB3, DB2/4 Drophead, DB7 Zagato and a V12 Vanquish S. Dr. Bez described the event as "a fabulous occasion." He remarked that seeing many of Aston Martin's "great cars" together on the Nordschleife was "truly memorable" for the spectators and drivers. He was also very pleased in seeing Sir Stirling Moss back at the infamous circuit piloting the DBR1.

- "Pah! You can't fool a wise old sea dog, like me!"
- ―Salty
A Tall Story is a magazine story.
Thomas and BoCo arrive at Brendam Docks to collect some goods from the Mainland. They are surprised to see a strange vessel moored at the dockside. Cranky watches too as the vessel slips away into deeper water. Everyone watches in amazement as the strange object then sinks. Just then, Salty arrives and tells everyone that they must not worry as the strange vessel is actually a submarine. The submarine is going to be used as a tourist attraction, taking visitors on underwater trips around the coast. BoCo is amazed; a boat that can travel underwater, now he has seen everything. Salty thinks the submarine is nothing and starts to tell the engines about the time a whale jumped over him. Salty tells his tales all day until Thomas, BoCo and Cranky are feeling rather fed up. That night, in the engine shed, Salty keeps BoCo and Thomas awake with more tales from the sea.
The next morning, Thomas and BoCo arrive in the yard with lots of visitors who they have brought to see an exciting event. Then, Salty appears looking very tired. Salty asks what everyone is doing in the dockyard. Thomas tells Salty that they have come to see a man jump into the sea and then spring back out again. Salty does not believe a word of it. Then, Salty sees Cranky use his hook to lift up a man on a platform. Then, everyone watches as the man jumps into the sea. The man touches the water and then springs back up onto the platform. Cranky says that the man is fixed to a long rope made of elastic. BoCo tells Salty that the man is doing a bungee jump for charity. Thomas then says that a submarine cannot go up and down as fast as the man did. For once, Salty is completely lost for words.

Senator Flanagan Pushes Measure To Protect Cell Phone Consumers
Senator John Flanagan (2nd Senate District) has introduced legislation that would greatly enhance the rights of cell phone consumers. Senator Flanagan sponsored the "Wireless Telephone Service Consumer Protection Act" to help provide safeguards for New York State residents who sign up with a cell phone provider.
The main component of the act is the introduction of a trial period for customer evaluation of cell phone service. This evaluation period, which is to last no less than 15 days, would allow a cell phone consumer to test their new service provider.
This evaluation period would provide sufficient time for testing a provider's coverage and reliability. By utilizing this period to assess their agreement, New York State consumers would be able to make a more informed and practical decision about their new service and ensure that providers provide the best service possible.
The legislation would also require cell phone companies to fully disclose their fees and to avoid any hidden fees. To further assist consumers, companies would also be required to supply better coverage maps and these maps would provide cell phone users with information about the availability of E-911.
This piece of legislation is strongly advocated for by the AARP, which feels that it would protect their members.
"Many older persons depend on their cell phones for safety and the lack of any real cell phone consumer protections in New York is a shock," said Lois Aronstein, AARP New York state director. "AARP commends Senator Flanagan for introducing legislation to put consumers in the driver's seat and give them the protections they expect and deserve."
Senator Flanagan also joined the AARP in working for the passage of two other pieces of legislation that would help AARP members. These two bills would greatly increase access to prescription drugs.
One of the bills, which Senator Flanagan sponsors in the Senate, would create the Prescription Drug Assistance Program. This program would provide access to prescription drugs at reduced costs for individuals and would negotiate agreements with suppliers based on bulk purchasing power in which the suppliers pay rebates for drugs purchased by participants of the program.
The second piece of legislation that Senator Flanagan has been working for would require pharmaceutical drug manufacturers and wholesalers to annually disclose all gifts over $75 given doctors and all prescribing health care practitioners. This would deliver transparency to the prescription drug market and provide some accountability from the drug companies.
"The Senate has been a leader in the fight to protect the rights of the seniors of our state and we should be working to provide as much protection to the elderly residents of our state as possible. These measures, which are important to the seniors who have contacted me, will empower all the residents of our community," stated Senator Flanagan.

Look what I found at the Grocery Store today in Ames
Sweet! Gotta get me some of those!
Those are different. Never seen that before.
That's actually pretty damn cool. I hate Bud Light but I'd drink a few of those.
Same. I could probably get through drinking a few of them.
They also make black and gold ones. Kathy at HY VEE Liquor said she was bringin in some for the ISU / IA game.
Olde Main likes ISU
I'll have to pick up a case of those! And of the black and gold ones. Obviously.
Good catch!
Yes, I like that too. :smile:
Bud is doing that for several schools - goood marketing move by them. Still not enough to get me to drink that crap though.
Now if they just change what is inside the can...
We're all over that for the first game! I don't usually drink BL, but tailgates are a different matter. Microbrews get a little too heavy (and expensive) for a long day of drinking.
Just went to get some of the "ISU" can and they have all been pulled said bud light dude I talked to. He said ISU wasnt getting paid so they demanded them gone. Seems odd no logo was on them.
Solution: pay ISU and I can get some of that.
I dont think some colored cans of BL is worth any extra.
That is the one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. They had no logo, they weren't being sold at an ISU event, I'm guessing there wasn't even a reference to ISU anywhere on the box.
Maybe ISU should pay off USC for completely ripping off their colors and uniform designs. I love ISU, but some of this school "branding" stuff is ridiculous.
They are actually doing this with many different colors. While I was working at one of the hy-vee stores I saw the whole lineup of colors they are coming out. They look pretty sweet.
I agree that IF it's true about ISU demanding the cans be pulled, that is stupid.
But did you really need to post the ISU/USC pictures? I think we're all aware of the similarity by now...

Higher AD Duties on Chinese and Vietnamese Goods Possible Under New Rule
The International Trade Administration has issued a final rule revising its method of valuing the price of inputs in antidumping duty proceedings involving non-market economy countries. It appears that this change will make it easier for the ITA to calculate higher AD duty rates on goods from NME countries such as China and Vietnam. This rule will be effective as of Sept. 3 and applicable for all AD proceedings or segments of proceedings (e.g., investigations and administrative reviews) initiated on or after that date.
Under the revised regulations, when a factor of production of merchandise from an NME country is produced in one or more market economy countries, purchased from one or more market economy suppliers and paid for in market economy currency, the ITA will normally use the price paid to the market economy supplier to value that factor if substantially all of the total volume of the factor is purchased from the market economy supplier(s). "Substantially all" now means 85% or more, up from 33% previously. When the 85% threshold is not met, the ITA will normally weight-average the actual price(s) paid for the market economy portion and the surrogate value for the NME portion using the respective quantities of the input sourced from market economy and NME suppliers.
The ITA is also adding a requirement that the market economy input at issue actually be produced in one or more market economy countries, not just sold through them, to address concerns that the pricing of an NME-produced input by a market economy supplier (or reseller) can be distorted by NME cost or supply factors.

Okay pants
November 1, 2012
I ordered these pants knowing they weren't my size because they were a great price. The first pair was too small around the waist (they aren't a true 36). So I ordered the 38 and they were fine. But the length was still too long so I figured I would just get them tailored, it still was going to be cheaper than buying a 60 dollar pair. However my wife accidentally dried them in the dryer and they "really, really" shrank. So I had to go back to the tailor and get them extended. (NOTE: DO NOT DRY!!)

June 19, 2012
Sorry Rocky Bottom, but these pants SUCK. The pockets are all short, meaning they barely hold your wallet in the back, and your i-Phone wants to slide out the top when worn in a front pocket. Worse, the pants are listed as 33 in length, and they're really only 31. Hey Noah, when's the flood coming? Maybe they will stretch after a cold wash...? These are headed to the local thrift store. $30 down the drain.
ProsThey are cotton, and they are black.
ConsIt's like they were designed by midgets who couldn't believe people really are big enough to require 'giant' sized length and pockets.

U.S. News & World Report unveils updated rankings for medical schools
Dive Brief:
Harvard University, Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, University of California-San Francisco, and the University of Pennsylvania earned the top spots in U.S. News & World Report's rankings of medical schools for research.
University of Washington, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, University of California-San Francisco, Oregon Health and Sciences University, and University of Michigan ranked highest in medical schools for primary care.
- Critics of the U.S. News & World Report rankings suggest they incentivize schools to make changes to boost their rank without improving value for students.
Dive Insight:
U.S. News & World Report based its rankings on surveys from 118 out of 170 medical colleges with accreditation from the Liaison Committee or Medical Education and the American Osteopathic Association. Factors considered include student selectivity, median MCAT score of students, research activity and acceptance rate.
The rankings hold considerable sway over prospective graduate students and medical schools will often promote their high ranks in ads, articles and campus banners, according to an August 2016 Health Affairs Blog post by Dr. Charles Rice and Dr, Arthur Kellermann of the Uniformed Services University (USU). However, for more than a decade, researchers and educators have questioned the methodology behind the rankings.
The White House under President Barack Obama threatened to undermine rankings such as those developed by U.S. News & World Report when it proposed a government rating system for colleges. While the plans did not materialize, the rating system could have had significant implications for federal funding received by medical schools.
Some medical schools refuse to play along with institutions like U.S. News & World Report. USU has declined to participate in rankings in recent years. At least 50 other schools have made a similar decision if the number of responses received by U.S. News & World Report are any indication. While it seems unlikely the federal government under the administration of President Donald Trump will pursue a rating system as the Obama administration had, it is something to look out for.

The Glorious AvocadoWednesday, April 22, 2015
My love for avocados is never ending.
There are a endless amount of ways that you can eat the little green bundles of joy.
Slice, chop, mash, So, lets talk avo...
Avocados are a amazing for your health. They high in healthy fats, that nuts also contain, which means they're good for you! The healthy fats lower bad cholesterol and they are great for your gut health. There is a whole range of benefits that avocados can do for you as they contain fibre, folate, potassium and vitamin E and K. Pretty much an allrounder fruit!
You can eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and as a snack. The options are unlimited. You can find a huge range of recipes on how to use avocados on Pinterest.
Here are some ideas:
- Smashed avo on toast or sourdough or any form of fancy bread of your choice then add a topping of chilli flakes, lemon, egg, feta, cheese, baby spinach, vegemite. The list is endless!
- Replace butter on your sandwiches with avocado. You won't even notice the difference and it's always better to eat good fats instead of bad.
- You can replace cream with mashed avocado. Stir through pasta and you have a easy-peesy delicious dish.
- Put avocados in smoothies to make them extra delicious and healthy. There are so much recipes online.
- Cut an avo in half, remove the pit, crack an egg into it and bake in the oven with cheese. Amazing!
- Make delicious salads with sliced avo
My favourite is smashed avo on sourdough with crumbed marinated feta, chilli flakes, lemon juice and spinach leaves. Yum!
When avocado is ripe, you don't have long until it goes off. So you can eat it straight away, or you can pour lemon juice on top and hope for the best... The best way to store an avocado is to cut in half, remove the pip and place onto a plate on wet paper towel (just like in the picture below except all facing down). The water will keep the avocado moist and having the avocado upside down keeps it air tight, making it last just a few more days!
It's alway hard to know when an avocado is ready. Here are some tips:
- The colour: Depending on the type of the avocado, if they are a dark green or black this is a sign that it is ready to eat
- The texture: If you give them a light squeeze you can feel that the insides are soft and sort of pulling say from the skin
- The brown twig: Sometimes they come with a little brown still still attached to the top of the avo. If the stick is loose and can be detached easily this is a good sign
I hope you enjoyed reading this post, just as much as I have enjoyed writing it. How do you eat your avocado? Do you have any tricks and tips on saving them?

The incidence of preventable metabolic diseases in children has increased markedly over the past 2 decades. Currently, there is little information to determine the underlying causes or whether therapeutic or dietary interventions might be successful at preventing or reducing metabolic health risks in children from obese pregnancy. These studies will use a nonhuman primate (NHP) model to investigate the impact of poor maternal metabolic health and diet on the development of metabolic systems in the developing fetus, as well as its postpartum growth, development, and susceptibility to diet induced obesity and diabetes. For these studies, breeding NHPs will be chronically maintained on a diet high in fats and calories (HFD). The NHP is a critical model as it shares developmental features similar to human fetuses, including placental function, brain, and pancreas development. This proposal will focus on the placenta, pancreas, liver and muscle as these form the core metabolic systems that are critical for normal regulation of body weight and glucose homeostasis. The hypothesis is that abnormalities beginning with placental dysfunction (i.e., blood flow, cytokine production and nutrient delivery) directly impact the development of all metabolic systems in the offspring that contribute to life-long risk for metabolic disease. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that supplementation with agents that reduce oxidative stress and inflammation will prevent or attenuate the structural, metabolic, and molecular disturbances observed during pregnancy while on a HFD, and will prevent the abnormal development of metabolic systems in primate offspring. These studies will determine if a complete dietary switch from the HFD to a low fat diet just prior to pregnancy can reduce or prevent complications in fetal development. It will also be determined if dietary supplements with either fish oil or resveratrol, to prevent inflammation, oxidative stress, will provide similar protection. These studies will identify the risks and complications in the developing fetus associated with poor maternal metabolic health and diet. Futhermore, these studies will test dietary supplements/interventions that can be quickly translated to the clinic that mav help prevent or reduce metabolic diseases in children.
Poor maternal health and nutrition are associated with an increased risk of metabolic diseases in children. However, the underlying complications and mechanisms that lead to the increase in obesity and diabetes in children is poorly understood. The NHP is a critical model to identify these mechanisms because ofthe simlarities in development, as well as structure and function of metabolic systems

Beginning on January 10, orders will be taken for the new Mercedes Benz C Class in Europe, where sedan and estate will hit showrooms in spring 2011.
The model has received an extensive facelift, with changes made to both front and rear end, and the addition of new assistance systems. There is now a high-resolution colour display screen in the instrument cluster, an elegant new dashboard with grained surface and prominent decorative trim emphasizing the premium character of the interior.
Read all about the new Mercedes Benz C Class
The C-Class is Mercedes-Benz' best-selling model range. Well above one million units of the current C-Class have been sold since the model was introduced in 2007. The most important sales market for the C-Class sedan is the U.S. (25 percent of total sales), followed by Germany and China. Mercedes-Benz has sold around 8.5 million vehicles in the C-Class segment since the first vehicle was introduced back in 1982 (known as the 190 series at the time).

What's the point of productivity?
If you succeed at maximum productivity, where will your own time and energy go?
If you succeed at maximum productivity, where will your own time and energy go?
Real work or real artistry doesn't happen by reading quotes on social media. It happens when you actually do the work (which requires social media to be turned off).
How do you grow your list? One person at a time.
Your mailing list can quickly become the most valuable tool in your arsenal, if you use it right.
Achievement is never the result of a single action, it's the build-up of all of our actions.
Working for yourself can amount to the most awesome and rewarding choice you'll ever make... but only if you do it right.
I had no blog, no social media accounts, no forms of promotion.
Paul Jarvis is a best-selling author and designer. He's worked with Silicon Valley startups, pro-sports athletes, Fortune 500 companies and the world's biggest entrepreneurs. He writes weekly for his popular newsletter and runs an online course on becoming a better freelancer. Motivation is to action as reading about exercise is to being in shape. Certainly, both can happen, but simply being motivated accomplishes nothing while seeming like it's accomplishing something.
It's all a balancing act. Perched on a tightrope, with high winds, and possibly some large, angry ravens pecking and cawing. I make a living on the internet by being myself and sharing the things I've learned. But I'm also scared to be myself and share the things I've learned. Some days, I don't care about being judged. I'll write 5,000 words about life with 48 cusses and sweatily hit "publish.
Working for yourself doesn't necessarily mean you always got to work alone. You can collaborate on client work with other freelancers (like writers + web designers or even designers + developers). You can partner up to launch companies or agencies. But today's topic is another type of partnership. It's one that I don't see people writing about enough: project partnerships.
Ask yourself this: are you someone that you'd want to pay attention to? It's a hard question to answer. Not because we've all got self-doubt and fears of inadequacy, but because we sometimes sacrifice ourselves for our goals. While making a living online, it's easy to get lured into other people's vision of doing business. You see something work for them, or something they're sharing that netted them great results and you want to try it too. Why wouldn't it work for me? we think.
We like to complicate things. Product launches, service offerings, websites, pizza... Why do we do this? Sometimes I think it stems from an idea that something needs to be complicated to hold more value. As in, an online course with 34 lessons and 197 bonuses must be more valuable than a course with just seven lessons. Or a book must be more useful if it's 655 pages long instead of just a paltry 243. Complications can lead to difficulties though.
Life is full of great days and supremely awful days. It's on those bad days that we need a little lift. A logical pick-me-up, if you will, that gets us out of a slump.
Emotional design shows empathy for the audience a website serve.
If both parties aren't perfectly clear about the deliverables, process, timeline, and shared responsibilities - in writing, before there's money on the table - you're basically jumping out a window and hoping it's not the 47th floor.
Growth happens when your audience shares what you do with their own audience
You can't control when sales of your product happen, all you can do is make it as great as it possibly can be so sales will be more likely to happen (when they do happen).
Whether you were asking for a testimonial from an industry A-lister, making an introduction to a potential client, or probing the mind of someone you admire, we've all cold-emailed people we didn't know to ask for something.
Effective content is writing that engages, entertains, and -- most of all-- achieves your business goals such as closing sales, getting mailing list signups, etc. It's content that people actually want to read.
Hiring a web designer or design company can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be.
An industry so full of out-of-the-box intelligence and status-quo rejections should be able to figure this out and fix it.
Everything can be a story -- you've just got to tell it.
What are landing pages? How do they work for your business? Why do you need to use them?
Marketing your self-published book involves a lot of focused work, typically as much work as it took to write the book in the first place.

Health-care practitioners in Nova Scotia who treat veterans say the paperwork to deal with Veterans Affairs Canada is onerous and the bureaucracy of the federal department leads to long delays.
Jennifer Wessel, a registered massage therapist in Dartmouth, said the paperwork requested by Veterans Affairs and its insurance provider — Blue Cross — is about double the amount she fills out for civilian clients.
"From a service provider's point of view, there's a lot of things to get started in on the paperwork and it's a bit discouraging when you see the volume there," she told CBC News.
"I have colleagues, for example, it's not that they don't treat Veterans Affairs clients, it's just that they would prefer to do those treatments for free rather than have to deal with the paperwork."
Veterans Affairs covers a percentage of the cost of massages for veterans, up to a maximum of 15 massages a year.
Wessel said she is sometimes forced to decide whether to turn away veterans or work for less than her regular rate.
"There's the expectation that I am somehow going to subsidize the government of Canada on the treatments that I give to veterans," she said. "To me, that's ridiculous."
Wessel said she's so frustrated she has raised the issue with NDP Veterans Affairs critic Peter Stoffer and plans to write to Veterans Affairs Minister Jean-Pierre Blackburn.
She said she has heard from clients who are equally aggravated with the amount of paperwork that they are choosing not to submit insurance claims at all.
"What's happening there is that they're just bypassing the system and paying out of pocket for services that are needed for them for rehabilitative care," Wessel said.

Ohio - A video of an Ohio boy with cerebral palsy who is joined by cheering classmates as he finishes a school race has gained a following online.
Eleven-year-old Matt Woodrum is seen in the 16 May video struggling midway through a 400m race at Colonial Hills Elementary School in the Columbus suburb of Worthington. His physical education teacher starts to run alongside him, and almost spontaneously, so do classmates who had just run their own race.
The video shows students encouraging a tired-looking Woodrum to keep going by clapping and chanting his name. They burst into applause when he triumphantly finishes.
The nearly five-minute video, posted on YouTube this week by the boy's uncle, has since received more than 680 000 views. Several online comments call Woodrum and his classmates an inspiration.
At last a story that shows there is still humanity in some of us humans.
Who are the idiots who are giving the thumbs down to this story? This is a real story of dignity, strength and compassion.
some people have all the goddamn luck.
yes , iknow i'm going to hell.
Link to the video maybe?
