'Star Wars: Episode 7′: What Mark Hamill Has to Say About the New Trilogy
We were all pretty flabbergasted to hear that a 'Star Wars: Episode 7' was in the works and that Disney would be behind the next big-screen chapter in the 'Star Wars' franchise. But there were a couple people who weren't — the original Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher.
In an interview with EW, Hamill revealed that the former 'Star Wars' director George Lucas called the two in for a lunch last August, at which point he unveiled his plans to continue the franchise.
I thought he was going to talk about either his retirement or the Star Wars TV series that Iâve heard about â which I donât think we were going to be involved in anyway, because that takes place between the prequels and the ones we were in and, if Luke were in them, heâd be anywhere from a toddler to a teenager so theyâd get an age-appropriate actor â or the 3-D releases. So when he said, âWe decided weâre going to do Episodes VII, VIII, and IX,â I was just gobsmacked. âWhat? Are you nuts?!â [Laughs] I can see both sides of it. Because in a way, there was a beginning, a middle, and an end and we all lived happily ever after and thatâs the way it should be â and itâs great that people have fond memories, if they do have fond memories. But on the other hand, thereâs this ravenous desire on the part of the true believers to have more and more and more material. Itâs one of those things: people either just donât care for it or are passionate about it.
So he knew all this time and didn't tell us?! Well, at least he was in the dark about the sale to Disney: "Oh my gosh, what a shock that was! I had no idea that George was going to sell to Disney until I read it online like everybody else."
But the real question on our minds is, Did Lucas reveal any details about 'Star Wars: Episode 7′ or where the trilogy might go? "Well, no, he was just talking about writers and the fact that he wouldnât be directing. I guess he wanted us to know before everybody else knew."

Hey guys, been a while since i posted but i decided to get active seeing how this community is slowly dying :'(
Sucks how we've lost psipog, upc, some great psions ... kinda leaves a hole in your life. That's how i feel anyway. I wish I could go back to when psipog was active and contribute more, learn more ... it was an incredibly valuable resource that I never really utilized. So many people with a common goal!
I don't know about you guys but I never had anyone to speak to in real life, or even over msn about psionics. It's always been through forums, which as we've seen, come and go. Some people migrate to other forums but we lose a lot of people in the process. I'm glad there's still a solid amount of people interested in psionics here.
So what i'm proposing is to get in touch with someone, just to help me progress and i suppose 'accept' psionics as real. And of course i'm more than happy to help you with any questions you might have, any theories you wanna discuss. My field (psionic pun, haha) is telekinesis, but i've done some energy work. Haven't tried tp, clairvoyance or anything else really. Got my mind fixated on TK!
I'm having trouble progressing cause it gets hard going it alone, hiding the foil when my parents walk in, not finding time for it .. i'm sure most of you have been there.
If anyone wants to talk over msn/skype/other chat program, send a pm my way.
And if anyone lives in Australia NSW, let me know so we can meet up. It would be amazing to see another psion, i think it would really be a huge help to see someone else sharing in my (our) interest. I read about Apollo who had a 'pk school' of sorts, i can imagine how quickly his students would progress. Not just under the tutelage of such a successful psion, but in addition to that they'd see him and others around them performing telekinesis live. That would be phenomenal in terms of progressing in practice, i think. If only we had something like that over here .. sometimes i feel like i'm the only psion in Australia! Of course I'd imagine there's thousands of people around the world who feel the same.
So, if you're interested, send me a pm!

Every once and awhile discoveries are made that change the game. A large part of my college experience has been learning about these "game changing" discoveries and how the world is now view differently. Sometimes game changers are best demonstrated graphically. Below are four game changing graphs. I understand there are many more than four, but his game changers all relate to the field of business and finance. Drop me a comment about which graphs you would include.
Supply and Demand
Supply and demand is based on perhaps the most fundamental concept in economics– the scarcity of goods. Its existence is essential for a free market economy. The idea is simple. There is always equilibrium between supply (red line) and quantity demanded (blue line). Scarcer goods demand higher prices than goods that are abundant. When prices are set above or below equilibrium, there will always be a surplus or storage. It's important to remember that supply and demand is relative and thus consistently updated. This concept is easy enough to understand. The price for a gallon of milk does not change after each customer buys a unit. Even though supply has decreased (red line shifts leftward) price will remain the same. Supply and demand is relevant to the whole market.
Product Life Cycle
The product life cycle has more to do with marketing than economics, but is important none-the-less. The product life cycle explains how a new product progresses through a sequence of stages. Companies need to recognize where their products are in this cycle so that they can alter their marketing strategies. A lot of companies are strategic about how, when and where they release their product so that they charge a price premium for longer. So companies are known to delay the release of a product in international markets to extend a product's life.
Capital Structure
Two famous Nobel Prize winners, Modigliani and Miller are credited with much of the progress made in the field of capital structure. Modigliani and Miller were interested in finding the optimal balance of debt to equity. Modigliani and Miller publish 2 articles ('58 & '63) together and sometime after ('73) Miller published by himself. Each paper assumed different things and came to different conclusions. They attempted to measure the effect of leverage on value of firm. The graph shows the results of much research. It illustrates that up to a point the tax advantages of debt add value, but after a point the costs associated with bankruptcy reduce the value of a firm. Modigliani and Miller were very influential on corporate decision-making. In the time after they published the rate at which corporations were levered increased significantly.
Efficient Portfolio
The efficient portfolio comes from the modern portfolio theory introduced by Harry Markowitz. The graph illustrates all possible combinations of assets in a portfolio. This is known as the "feasible set." The upper curve of the feasible set is known as the "efficient frontier." The efficient frontier represents portfolios with the highest return for a given level of risk or the lowest amount of risk for a desire level of return. Risk is measured by standard deviation of historical return. All rational investors will hold portfolio on the efficient frontier because investors are risk adverse. Now, it is possible to hold risk-free assets in a portfolio. The 'tangent portfolio" represents the possibilities if risk-free asset where included.

Everyone has a voting story. At my work on Wednesday morning, we all shared ours, and then again last night, at a school function, I heard even more. People who waited for hours to vote first thing making sure a Northern Virginia commute wouldn't prevent them from voting, flat tires and people who breezed right through in the middle of the day.
One gentleman told me the story of voting at the Jersey shore, where a hotel became a last-minute voting location and to ensure voter privacy, the staff hastily arranged for an oversized cardboard box to serve as a voting booth looking like the beginnings of a kid's Halloween costume.
Voting is our right and our duty and more than 80 percent of Fairfax County's registered voters and 72 percent of Prince William County's voters either voted absentee or showed up in person on Election Day to make their choice known.
I have been an elections officer in Prince William County since the Democratic primary of 2008. I wanted to share a few things about your neighbors who are there to help you exercise your right.
Election Officers Are People Like You
Any registered Virginia voter who isn't an elected official or who doesn't work for an elected official can serve as an election officer. In our precinct, we had a team of 10 officers composed of longtime veterans and a few brand-new officers. We had a mix of professional backgrounds (several government employees who previously served in the military, a real estate agent, a sales person, a non-profit professional, a retired contractor, a college student and a lifeguard) and a range of ages from student to more seasoned individuals.
The Hours Are Long
...and the pay is, well, if you have to ask...Officers in PWC make $125 for the day, in Fairfax $100 (with slightly higher rates for the chief and assistant chief officers). Not bad as long as you don't do the math. The workday starts at 5 a.m. and goes until the polls are closed, the paperwork is completed and the site is cleaned up. Our precinct is led by a veteran and a Boy Scout leader so we are quite efficient and were out the door before 9 p.m., less than two hours after the polls closed. You have to commit to work the entire day and you can't step out for lunch, to walk the dog or any other reason. Once you are there, you are committed to stay the entire shift.
Each officer has to attend at least one training session as well and PWC adds a small amount to the daily rate for attending that session. Some election officers volunteer to assist with in-person absentee locations prior to Election Day and don't expect a thing in return.
There Is a Lot of Paperwork
At closing time, we didn't have any waiting voters. We had a large staff, many of us with several elections-worth of experience, yet we still had work to do for almost two hours. Why so long? Paperwork. We have detailed instructions on how to close down all the machines to collect the voting data and to ensure its integrity.
The votes from the machine are consolidated and those numbers are transferred into the Statement of Results along with ballots cast on paper by outside voters and others, and provisional votes are logged. Any communications with the county office are logged, any "incidents," all supporting documentation and summaries from the poll-book check-ins are added. It is only after we complete the Statement of Results that we can call in to report. This is why it may take so long to have 100 percent precincts reported on election night.
We Train Hard for Election Day
Whether learning the basics of the particular hardware, software or paperwork or about the laws and regulations that change from time to time, we are trained. Training sessions take up to three hours for officers prior to each election and in the lead up to a presidential election there may be more than one session. This year's changes in voter identification had Prince William County's Electoral Board offering "summinars" on the new requirements. Both Fairfax and Prince William are also adding videos on their websites to offer more information. We take an oath to follow the law and to ensure a fair election.
Anything Can Happen
Remember our earthquake in 2011? That happened to be on the same day as a primary election. The snowstorm in February 2008 wreaked havoc on the closing hours of the Democratic primary and there are always unexpected situations like power problems, malfunctioning equipment and confusion after changes in poll locations.
We are given emergency plans to ensure that no matter what occurs, your votes already cast are preserved and after a few adjustments, that the election will go on. Elections have taken place in parking lots and by flashlight. Our only incident this time around was a small medical situation where our trained lifeguard was great at helping with before, during and after emergency personnel arrived.
The Food Is Pretty Good!
No, no, the counties aren't paying for catering. The spread is provided by our fellow officers, each bringing potluck goodies. Several of us also can call on the assistance of friends and family to refill the stores if rations run low. Unfortunately, that can lead to a bit of over-eating on slow turnout elections and the food being untouched when we have a busy presidential election to handle. We coordinate in the week before to make sure we don't all bring the same thing or that no one forgets to bring the crucial caffeine.
We Love Our Voters
There are always a few sour apples who come in, and registration issues can make voters stressed, but for the vast majority of voters, we are happy to be there to assist in any way to getting you to be able to cast your vote. There are provisions for blind voters, to allow for assistance from a friend or family member (or even from one of the officers) or to allow for you to vote curbside. If you show up at the wrong precinct, we work to make sure you find the right one. If you can't stand for long periods, we are happy to find you a chair and if you want to have a chance to study the ballot that will be on the machine, it is posted prominently.
Sometimes there are problems such as the long lines in some Prince William precincts. We know it is frustrating and that you might take it out on us. We take problems seriously and please remember you are our neighbors. The last thing we want to see is someone in distress either from standing in long lines or being a toddler and doing a very boring thing when you are hungry or missing naptime. Ask us for help and we will see what we can do.
A Message to Voters from your Election Officers
It is always important before every election to confirm your voter registration, your personal information, your polling place and your ballot before the end of registration for that election. The people tasked with managing your registration can make mistakes. Lines are redrawn to rebalance the precinct size and every 10 years, the congressional districts are realigned. Check online at the Virginia State Board of Elections site. If you move, you need to change your registration. Many voters came to the polls expecting that changing their address at the DMV would change it on the voter rolls. It doesn't. Check with instructions at Fairfax's and Prince William's offices.
We do not ever want to turn someone away. Make sure your right is preserved.

Jean, thank you for your service to our country and your fellow citizens.
State law allows election officers to work less than a whole day, except the chief and assistant chief and that should be changed.
State law also allows new or replacement election officers to come in at the last hour before closing and work to close the polls and finish the SOR. That gives the closing team a fresh set of eyes and a bit of an energy boost. This provision isn't used often enough.
Curbside voting is a right for all voters over 65 and those who are disabled. It's not promoted enough and some Chiefs resist it because they think voters use it to cut the line.
Service as an election officer should be compensated like jury duty.

Voter ID is OVERDUE! If your only form of ID is a cell phone bill from April, you SHOULD NOT VOTE. PERIOD!
John Farrell
8:06 am on Friday, November 9, 2012
Sorry, Steve, Congress, on a bipartisan vote, said a utility bill was a valid form of ID, so long as the address on the cellphone bill matches the address in the pollbook.

Excellent report! Your story gives a clear picture of the experience of the officer of election. I hope it will inspire more Patch readers to serve our voters.

Posts Tagged 'diversified portfolio'
The old adage that many of us have in recent years is "Do not put all your eggs in one basket!" simply means that diversification in investment. What exactly are the reasons why you have a diversified portfolio of investments?
Diversification means spreading your money into different asset classes like equities, real estate, bonds and money markets. It also includes investments in international markets. But why is it so important and it always does apply even in these days when the most active classes to attend a lost cause? Some reasons to diversify …
• The lack of action of all assets in the same manner and at the same time. Normally, if the actions of a good return on bonds are not. There are times where it does not work, but in general, when interest rates are low, stocks are becoming increasingly popular. And we can see that gold has increased investment in the current climate of confidence.
• Not all sectors to meet the same market conditions. In this case, consider two hypothetical companies. It is an investment umbrella winter rains and the sun to sell another sunscreen sold and are subject to a reversal of the summer. During the winter sun umbrellas are sold well in the summer sun protection is very popular. Sales vary for everyone, but if the two together the same average performance and reduce risk.
• Investments in different geographical regions, ie they are not subject to the same natural disasters affect businesses differently. Take for example the recent earthquake in Christchurch. Many companies have had problems after the region, either because of property damage and effects of damage to surrounding properties. In addition, there is a boom for construction companies in the months and years ahead, because the city is rebuilt. There is also a decrease in sales of properties and values, but those found with real estate investments in demand for properties intact as people looking to rent houses are damaged and repaired.
• Investing all the money in financial firms has been a bitter lesson for many New Zealanders, who once was seen as a safe investment with a known performance. This has been a lack of understanding of risks and, unfortunately, many do not travel all the funds of a corporation. Diversification within an asset class is also important to reduce the risk.
• Although the world population crisis far from investing in shares and cash. U. S. Treasury bills are actually showing in the crisis in the portfolio have reduced their losses when markets are declining. Who would have thought that some U.S. companies should be more important before the crisis, such as Citigroup would have saved.
While diversification does not eliminate the risk, the risk is reduced. Having a diversified portfolio of investments will remain valid long-term strategy.

Laptop Battery Articles & Tips For Apple®
Upgrade my Laptop Battery from NiMH to Li-Ion
NiCD, NiMH and Li-Ion laptop batteries are all fundamentally different from one another and cannot be substituted unless the laptop has been pre-configured from the manufacturer to accept more than one type of battery chemistry. Please refer to your manual to find out which rechargeable battery types the laptop device supports or use our Battery Finder above to find all the compatible laptop batteries for your Apple® device. It will automatically list all of the battery chemistries supported by your specific device. If your device does allow you to upgrade the battery from NiMH to Li-Ion, you will typically get longer run times.
For example, if your laptop uses a NI-MH battery that is 9.6 Volts, 4000mAh and the new li-ion laptop battery is 14.4 Volt, 3600mAh, then you will obtain longer run time with the li-ion battery.
Li-Ion: 14.4 Volts x 3.6 Amperes = 51.84 Watt Hours
Ni-MH: 9.6 Volts x 4 Amperes = 38.4 Watt Hours
The Li-Ion is stronger and has longer run time.

calculating laptop battery run time
How can I maximize the performance of my Laptop Battery for my Apple® Laptop?
There are several steps you can take to help you get maximum performance from your laptop battery:
Prevent Memory Effect - Keep the laptop battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries which do not suffer from memory effect.
Keep the laptop battery clean - It''s a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the device. Check for any corrosion on the contacts.
Exercise the Battery - Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a laptop battery has not been used for a long period of time, fully charge and discharge the battery before using.
Battery Storage - If you don''t plan on using the laptop battery for a month or more, fully charge the battery and then store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to recharge the batteries before use.
What is the run time of a laptop battery?
Laptop batteries have three main ratings on them: Volts (V), Ampere-hour (Ah), and watt-hours (Wh or Whr). Because size and weight of laptop batteries is limited when compared to larger batteries such as car batteries, most companies show their ratings mainly as Milliampere-hour (mAh). One thousand Milliampere-hour equals 1 Ampere-hour. The more Milliampere-hour a battery is rated, the longer the laptop will run between recharges. Batteries are also rated by Watt-hours, which is simply found by multiplying the Volts and the Ampere-hours together. For example:
14.4 Volts, 4000mAh (Note: 4000mAh is equal to 4.0 Amperes).
14.4 x 4.0 = 57.60 Watt-Hours
Watt-Hours signifies the energy needed to power one watt for one hour. Thus this laptop battery can power 57.60 watts for one hour. If your laptop runs at 20.50 watts, as an example, this laptop battery could power your laptop for 2.8 hours (2 hours and 48 minutes).
Understanding your battery needs for your Apple® Laptop

I've been thinking and I wanted to find out but what is your opinion when it comes down to the manga and anime of a series? I prefer mostly the manga but I always like to see the scenes from the manga come to like(still mostly read the manga though). So over all I prefer manga, what is your prefernce?

A piece for Swatch was the perfect opportunity for the ever-provocative Kenny Scharf, whose boundary-pushing work and sense of humour were a natural fit with the spirit of the brand. In Monster Time (GR121), Scharf makes an amusingly fierce animal out of the watch format, with bright lizard green lines trailing through the strap like tracks in the sand left by a snake. The dial, which barely contains the red-eyed visage of a toothy monster, is grasped by red plastic, and the hands rotate irreverently around the beast's grumpy face. The equally entertaining Fiz N' Zip (GN164) offers childlike whimsy with a wicked edge—grinning blue and yellow creatures.

West Point officials say one resident's complaints about the use of special-purpose, local-option sales tax money to renovate city recreation facilities are "flat out incorrect."
Mike O'Brien has called for an independent investigation of the city's use of SPLOST money to renovate its gym and ball fields on U.S. 29, which now is in use by Point University's athletic programs.
"I just want to know what's going on," O'Brien said. "I have asked for an independent investigation. If nothing's happened, have the investigation and shut me up."
The city is expecting about $6 million in the next round of SPLOST, which was approved by voters in November 2011. West Point City Council decided earlier this year to bond $4 million of that money and start renovations at its recreation facilities right away before the tax revenues start coming in.
The infusion of SPLOST money coincides with the city's redevelopment plan, in the works for the last three years, to revitalize the U.S. 29-Ga. 18 corridor in the city, which is composed primarily of low-income neighborhoods. New recreation facilities are the first priority of that redevelopment plan, which also includes initiatives to bring in new business and affordable housing.
The SPLOST money and recreation facility upgrades also coincide with the move of Point University – formerly Atlanta Christian College – to West Point. Classes began in August.
O'Brien says that when the redevelopment plan was hatched – with public input – one complaint of city residents surveyed was that recreation facilities were "over scheduled" and not available for regular use. Now that Point University is in the city, there's no chance at all for regular use of the facilities by residents, he said.
He also contends that the city knew Point was coming when the SPLOST was negotiated and the recreation facility project was created with Point in mind. O'Brien believes the city shouldn't be using SPLOST dollars for what is amounting to the development of a private university.
"That is flat out incorrect," Mayor Drew Ferguson IV said, of a connection between SPLOST and Point.
"Under no circumstances did that happen," he said.
Ferguson and City Manager Ed Moon also say there's nothing illegal about using the SPLOST funds to work on a project that benefits Point University.
"We used SPLOST money for streetscapes," Moon said, referring to the refurbished downtown sidewalks. "Who does that benefit? The downtown business owners."
Moon calls the agreement between the city and Point for use of the recreation facilities no different than other recreation sites in the area that are rented out by private parties for private functions. The agreement with the city and Point is on a larger scale and part of West Point's overall economic development.
"The recreation facilities are used by both the city and Point and because of the SPLOST money we have better facilities and better use of the facilities," he said. "Most cities would do whatever they could do to attract Point University to their city. We were fortunate. If we sit on our hands and do nothing, we will get nothing. The city hasn't done anything wrong."
Moon said he can sympathize with residents who may want to use the park for unscheduled activities.
"I live downtown and we don't have a yard," he said. "I used to use the football field a great deal to walk the dog or play Frisbee. But when the city gets redeveloped, the usage changes. We have to think about moving those activities to other areas."
O'Brien brought his concerns to the Troup County Parks and Recreation Board earlier this week. The county group is responsible for the daily operation of the park in West Point that's under question.
The group told O'Brien that there wasn't much they could do about his concerns, which were between the city and Point University. However, they said if he was patient, he would see how the parks will be renovated for the benefit of the college and city residents.
"As long as it's done in a proper manner, it could be a win-win for the residents and the college," said Tod Tentler, Troup County manager and former parks and recreation director. "Let them finish the construction and then there will be an opportunity to schedule things each week."
Phase One of renovations at the park included renovated soccer, football, baseball and softball fields and the gym in the former high school building.
Moon said the city nearly is done with the first phase of renovations and will start phase two next year. There will be more opportunity for public input on what needs to be done before phase two is started.
Ferguson said residents have had and always will have first priority with the city's recreation facilities and praised the renovations. Point is paying rent to the city to use the facilities.
"We will have more usage and more access with more revenue than we have ever had," he said.

4. | birth control | ||
Screaming or crying children that kill any desire for sex for those that hear their earpiercing shrieks. Do you hear that screaming baby? That's the sound of birth control.
1. | birth control | ||
A medication that prevents unwanted pregnancy AND also regulates menstral cycles. A lot of girls go on birth control JUST to regulate their cycles. I'm still a virgin and my gyno put me on it because I have heavy periods.. Well it really helped in that area, and it also made my boobs grow another cup size!!
2. | Birth Control | ||
A method used to prevent unwanted pregnancy.
Something that most inner city women in impoverished urban areas are alergic to. Shaquanda just got her goverment check and had a choice of either getting some birth control, or buying a new pair of shoes.
Shaquanda now has two kids with no dad in sight. So guess where her money went? |
3. | birth control | ||
something that your mom forgot to use before you were born. *while giving birth*
Your mom: Damn, I should have used birth control.... Your dad: Damn straight! |
5. | Birth Control | ||
What humans are reluctant to do since sex is a fun activity.
6. | birth control | ||
A way to save a lot of money over the next 18 years. "Dude, I'm glad that skank was on birth control! I can't afford to be her baby daddy."
1)An EXTREMELY RELIABLE technology that mysteriously becomes
less reliable for a woman-the wealthier a man is. 2)An EXTREMELY RELIABLE technology that has been available-in at least nine different forms to women-for now about 50 YEARS.(There's only two for men:Condom.Vasectomy.)This means nine different forms BEFORE you even touch abortion or sterilization...But "unplanned"/unwanted kids still get here. 3)An EXTREMELY RELIABLE technology-available more to women than men.Yet newsmedia continues to blame men for irresponsible breeding.Interesting.I've never met a man who decided when a baby would be born. SPORTS ANCHOR:"On the day of the draft-the now rich,young QUARTERBACK
found himself served with PATERNITY SUIT papers." CHICK TO DUDE:"It's okay.I'm on the BIRTH CONTROL pill.My doctor says I can't get pregnant anyway.I just want to FEEL you." SAME CHICK TO GIRLFRIEND 90 DAYS LATER:"I don't know how it happened.I was'nt planning on this...but I don't believe in abortion.Sooo..." |

We tested 15 kitchen knives (non-serrated) ranging in size from 18cm to 21cm and priced from $10 to $290.
Our testing reveals which knives have the best:
On this page, you'll find:
A decent kitchen knife is a must in your kitchen. Choosing one comes down to personal preference – with different sizes, weights and handle types, it's best to try them out first. While cooks' knives get most jobs done, others are designed for specific jobs, like paring, carving and filleting. If you want these, it may be worth investing in a set.
For our test, one set of the knives was assessed by our home economist for cutting performance and a second set was sent to an external laboratory where they were tested for initial sharpness and then blunted with 50 strokes of an aluminum rod before sharpness was re-assessed. Because it's a matter of personal preference, we haven't included an ease of use score in this test. A good place to start is our What to Buy list: these knives are the best for cutting performance and have high initial sharpness.
Technical performance A second set of the knives was sent to an external specialist laboratory to assess the knives for:

SAN JOSE -- Two electricians badly burned in a weekend industrial accident remained in critical condition Wednesday while investigations continued into the circumstances surrounding the explosion of an electrical panel in north San Jose.
San Jose Fire Capt. Rob Brown said the cause of the fire at an industrial building at 71 Daggett Drive remained under investigation. Authorities have not identified the injured electricians, but Brown said one suffered burns over 65 percent of his body and the other over about 30 percent of his body and that both remained in critical condition at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center's burn unit.
The men were working on an electrical panel when it flashed or exploded about 9 a.m., severely burning them. There were no other injuries or damage to the rest of the property.
Greg Siggins, spokesman for the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, said the state agency is continuing an investigation of the two men's employer, JAE Electric of Santa Clara, which could take six months to complete.
Siggins cautioned that such investigations are standard in industrial accidents.
"The investigation will run its course, and if it finds violations of labor law, they will be cited," Siggins said.
JAE Electric did not respond to a phone call Wednesday afternoon seeking comment.
It remained unclear who controlled the property where the two men were working.

You're just a click away from your solar permit, the Go SOLAR Online Permitting System is Now Live!
Broward County is seeking judges for this year's High School Public Speaking Competition
We are seeking representatives from the solar industry (solar contractors, renewable energy attorneys, solar training institutions) to serve as judges for the third annual High School Public Speaking Competition. Students have been appointed to the State of Florida Energy Office to research and develop solar energy in the state of Florida. As part of their speech they will discuss a strategic plan, providing action steps and factual evidence, to promote solar energy generation and enhance solar market conditions in our state. More…
The Go SOLAR Fest proved to be popular. Over 1,225 local, state and federal government officials, licensed solar and electrical contractors, renewable energy companies, financial institutions, solar installers, potential customers, legal experts, homeowner associations, residents and local businesses, 54 exhibitors and 37 speakers attended the two-day event. South Florida residents along with small business owners were treated to a jam packed two-day agenda which highlighted solar for South Florida.
Go SOLAR Fest Event Highlights!
______________________________________________Making Solar Energy Easy!
About Go SOLAR Broward Rooftop Solar Challenge
Go SOLAR Broward Rooftop Solar Challenge is a U.S. Department of Energy grant-funded program that makes it easier for Broward County residents and businesses to convert to solar energy, by reducing the cost and wait time associated with the installation process for photovoltaic (PV) rooftop solar systems.
Solar energy has long-term economic and environmental benefits, but the traditional application and permitting process for PV systems, which varies across Broward's 31 municipalities, can be a barrier to those interested in retrofitting their home or business for increased energy efficiency.
Go SOLAR Broward Rooftop Solar Challenge removes that barrier by offering home and business owners and/or their contractors, who reside in participating cities, a streamlined, online application system with standardized fees, and uniform interconnection to utility systems.
According to the DOE a residential rooftop solar PV system is less than approximately 10kW and a small commercial system is less than approximately 300kW.
Broward County is one of only 22 governments in the nation to receive funding for the SunShot program. Several state and local organizations are also participating in the program, including Florida Power & Light, Broward County School Board, Broward League of Cities, Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals, State Office of Energy, and Florida Solar Energy Center.______________________________________________
Solar PV Installers, Manufacturers and Educational Institutions are Encouraged to Partner with Go SOLAR
Broward County's Go SOLAR Team is seeking an Advantage Marketing agreement in two areas with solar PV installers, educational institutions, mounting manufacturers and the solar industry.
Solar PV Educational Displays: Co-Sponsorship Opportunity
Broward County is offering the opportunity of co-sponsorship on educational displays for the Government Center West lobby. The sponsor will provide and maintain a basic educational display for a three-month period about the benefits of solar energy. The display could include a solar panel or a cut-away of a panel for the public to see and touch (protected to avoid injury), a rack system, an inverter and any additional components that a resident or business would need to install a solar PV system. Also, the display should include educational signs and literature that the public can take away. Electricity will be provided. Available floor space would be a maximum of 4 feet by 10 feet.
Solar PV System Installation to Power Go SOLAR Kiosk at Government Center West
The sponsor will install a permanent solar system outside the east entrance of the Governmental Center West to power a Go SOLAR permitting Kiosk. Solar unit should include a solar panel for the public to view, along with a descriptive display of the solar system and the name and logo of company.
Co-sponsorship Benefits
The company's educational display will be available to all visitors to the Government Center West lobby. The company can provide educational information about their specific products and services. The company will be showcased as a sponsor on the Go SOLAR website, kiosk and e-newsletter.
Release of the Advantage Marketing Agreement announcement is posted on the Broward County Purchasing website
Solar PV Manufacturers Encouraged to Partner with Go SOLAR
Broward County's Go SOLAR Team is seeking an Advantage Marketing agreement with solar PV mounting manufacturers and the solar industry.
Through this agreement, a company will provide an electronic set or sets of solar photovoltaic (solar PV) rooftop mounting system design plans as outlined in the agreement and in exchange, Broward County will include the company's plans and required equipment list (as submitted under the agreement) as an option on the Go Solar online permitting system, which could eventually be used beyond just Broward County; will maintain the mounting plans on the permitting system for the life of the system; and will provide services to increase customer traffic to the online permitting system, as stipulated in the Department of Energy (DOE) Rooftop Solar Challenge agreement between DOE and Broward County.
Release of the announcement will be posted on the Broward Purchasing web site.

Type 2 Diabetes
What Happens
When you have type 2 diabetes, your body still makes insulin. But as time goes on, your pancreas may make less and less insulin, which will make it harder to keep your blood sugar in your Reference target range. If your blood sugar gets too high and stays too high for too long, your risk for other health problems increases. Over time, high blood sugar can Reference damage many parts of your body Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window.
High blood sugar levels may cause temporary blurred vision. Blurry vision, Reference floaters Opens New Window, or Reference flashes of light Opens New Window may be a sign of diabetic retinopathy, which can cause severe vision loss.
To learn more, see the topic Reference Diabetic Retinopathy.
Feet and skin
You may have less feeling in your feet, which means that you can injure your feet and not know it. Blisters, ingrown toenails, small cuts, or other problems that may seem minor can quickly become more serious. If you develop serious infections or bone and joint deformities, you may need surgery (even Reference amputation) to treat those problems. Reference Common infections can quickly become more serious when you have diabetes.
Heart and blood vessels
High blood sugar damages the lining of blood vessels. This can lead to stroke, heart attack, or peripheral arterial disease. Reference Erection problems Opens New Window can be an early warning sign of blood vessel disease and may mean a higher risk of heart disease.
High blood sugar levels can damage nerves throughout your body. This damage is called diabetic neuropathy. There are three kinds of diabetic neuropathy:
- Reference Diabetic peripheral neuropathy. This is damage to the nerves that sense pain, touch, hot, and cold. This type of nerve damage can lead to a deformity called Reference Charcot foot Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window. It can also lead to other problems that may require amputation.
- Reference Autonomic neuropathy. This is damage to nerves that control things like your heartbeat, blood pressure, sweating, digestion, urination, and sexual function.
- Reference Focal neuropathy. Most of the time, this affects just one nerve, usually in the wrist, thigh, or foot. It may also affect the nerves of your back and chest and those that control your eye muscles.
To learn more, see the topic Reference Diabetic Neuropathy.
The kidneys have many tiny blood vessels that filter waste from your blood. High blood sugar can destroy these blood vessels. You won't have any symptoms of kidney damage until the problem is severe. Then you may notice swelling in your feet or legs or all over your body.
To learn more, see the topic Reference Diabetic Nephropathy.
High blood sugar can damage the small blood vessels and nerves in the ear, causing hearing loss.
Gum disease can make it harder to keep blood sugar in a target range. And high blood sugar can cause gum disease, loss of teeth, and healing problems in the mouth.
Mental health
Type 2 diabetes can raise your risk of depression. It may be caused by the stress of dealing with diabetes or by the effects that diabetes has on your body.
Being depressed can make it hard to eat healthy foods and to find the motivation to exercise. All of these things lead to higher blood sugar. By getting help for depression, you'll feel better and may find it easier to stay motivated.

Pearl and crystal alternating stretch bracelet. Style ZSH-079
Love My Bracelet
This bracelet was beautiful, the fit was just right and it goes great with my wedding dress.
November 28, 2012
Great if you don't plan to wear it long
This bracelet looks cheap close up, but for $20 I didn't really expect much else. I wore it for my outdoor wedding though and it was super sparkly and beautiful in the sunlight. I actually got a lot of compliments on it! I will warn you though, I wore mine for almost 12 hours, and IT DID TURN MY WRIST GREEN! If you don't plan to wear it that long you're probably fine, but if you do that's something to think about. For the money I absolutely loved it and would recommend it, but it is a little cheap.
August 27, 2012
Adds the perfect touch without being overdone. My maid of honor didn't think I should wear a bracelet but after going back and seeing this bracelet 3 times, I had to have it!
November 30, 2011
$20 Pearl/Rhinestone Bracelet
This bracelet was a beautiful addition, but midway through pictures (prior to the ceremony), I already noticed that a pearl was missing. I just did my best to make sure it was hidden for pictures. The fit was fine for me, but I have small wrists.

Legal guardian
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page.

Marriage and similar status |
Dissolution of marriage |

Child legal |
Conflict of laws |

A legal guardian is a person who has the legal authority (and the corresponding duty) to care for the personal and property interests of another person, called a ward. Usually, a person has the status of guardian because the ward is incapable of caring for his or her own interests due to infancy, incapacity, or disability. Most countries and states have laws that provide that the parents of a minor child are the legal guardians of that child, and that the parents can designate who shall become the child's legal guardian in the event of death.
Courts generally have the power to appoint a guardian for an individual in need of special protection. A guardian with responsibility for both the personal well-being and the financial interests of the ward is a general guardian. A person may also be appointed as a special guardian, having limited powers over the interests of the ward. A special guardian may, for example, be given the legal right to determine the disposition of the ward's property without being given any authority over the ward's person. A guardian appointed to represent the interests of a person with respect to a single action in litigation is a guardian ad litem.
Some jurisdictions allow a parent of a child to exercise the authority of a legal guardian without a formal court appointment. In such circumstances the parent acting in that capacity is called the natural guardian of that parent's child.

Guardian ad litem [edit]
United States [edit]
Guardians ad litem (GALs) are often appointed in under-age-children cases, to represent the interests of the minor children. Guardians ad litem may be called, in some states, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA).[1] They are the voice of the child and may represent the child in court (usually with the help of an attorney). GALs assist where a child is removed from a hostile environment, usually by the (state) Department of Social Services, solely for the protection of the minor child.
Any person, with training and approval, may be appointed as a guardian ad litem. Qualifications vary by state, ranging from volunteers to social workers to attorneys to others with the appropriate qualifications. The GAL's only job is to represent the minor children's best interest and advise the court. The GAL speaks to the court for the child. In many states the GAL must go through training and course work to qualify for this responsibility.
Guardians ad litem are also appointed in cases where there has been an allegation of child abuse, child neglect, PINS, juvenile delinquency, or dependency. In these situations, the guardian ad litem is charged to represent the best interests of the minor child which can differ from the position of the state or government agency as well as the interest of the parent or guardian. These guardians ad litem vary by jurisdiction and can be volunteer advocates or attorneys. For example, in North Carolina, trained GAL volunteers are paired with attorney advocates to advocate for the best interest of abused and neglected children. The program defines a child's best interest as a safe, permanent homes for children.[2]
Legal guardians may be appointed in guardianship cases for adults (see also conservatorship). For example, parents may start a guardianship action to become the guardians of a developmentally disabled child when the child reaches the age of majority. Or, children may need to file a guardianship action for a parent when the parent has failed to prepare a power of attorney and now has dementia.
Guardians ad litem can be appointed by the court to represent the interests of mentally ill or disabled persons. The Code of Virginia requires that the court appoint a "discreet and competent attorney-at-law" or "some other discreet and proper person" to serve as guardian ad litem to protect the interests of a person under a disability.[3]
England and Wales [edit]
Guardians ad litem are employed by Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (CAFCASS), a non-departmental public body, to represent the interests of children in cases where the child's wishes differ from those of either parent, known as a Section 9.5 case. The posts are filled by senior social workers with experience in family law proceedings.
Estates and financial decision making [edit]
Guardians ad litem are sometimes appointed in probate matters to represent the interests of unknown or unlocated heirs to an estate.
A guardian is a fiduciary and is held to a very high standard of care in exercising his or her powers. If the ward owns substantial property the guardian may be required to give a surety bond to protect the ward in the event that dishonesty or incompetence on his or her part causes financial loss to the ward.
Depending on the jurisdiction, a legal guardian may be called a "conservator", "custodian", or curator. Many jurisdictions and the Uniform Probate Code distinguish between a "guardian" or "guardian of the person" who is an individual with authority over and fiduciary responsibilities for the physical person of the ward, and a "conservator" or "guardian of the property" of a ward who has authority over and fiduciary responsibilities for significant property (often an inheritance or personal injury settlement) belonging to the ward. Some jurisdictions provide for public guardianship programs serving incapacitated adults or children.
Situation in other countries [edit]
Germany [edit]
The German guardianship law has been completely changed in 1990. Guardianship was renamed into care-taking (Betreuung). When a person of full age who, as a result of mental disease or physical, mental or psychological handicap is incapable of managing his own affairs, a guardian can be appointed (article 1896 Civil Law). An adult guardian is responsible for personal and estate matters, as well as medical treatment. However, the ward has full capacity with all human rights like marrying, voting or making a will. Every guardian has to report annually to the guardianship court (Betreuungsgericht).
