What It Is/ Who It's For The ES is Lexus' premium mid-size sedan; Lexus promises it to be livelier than its predecessor. Best Thing Is it the sufficiently powerful and economic hybrid engine option, or the extra 4.1-inches of rear legroom? Worst Thing The ES' new electric power steering is soft and busy -- unless you leave it in Sport mode. Snap Judgment The ES has always been Lexus' bread and butter offering; consider the newest one to be more Bonne Mamam Blackberry Preserves than Smuckers Strawberry Jam.
Traditionally speaking, the Lexus brand -- and its ES mid-size sedan -- has never quite captured the hearts of automotive consumers like its German rivals. Those brands -- Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi -- have a rich and passionate motoring heritage branded into its products. Until recently, the same could not be said for Lexus, which has had to overcome the perception that it is simply the luxury extension of Toyota. The conservative approach was very successful for Lexus on the sales charts, however, and despite building vehicles that mostly lacked passion, Lexus built reliable and practical luxury cars that appealed to consumers' minds and wallets.
All of that changed when Lexus relinquished the luxury sales lead to European rivals in 2011, the first time in a decade it had done so. Akio Toyoda, the enigmatic President and CEO of Toyota, who had assumed control of Toyota after inheriting a mess of recalls and natural disasters, vowed to return the luxury brand to its previous perch atop the charts. The 2013 Lexus ES 350 and ES 300h are the second of twelve "new or significantly refreshed" models to debut in the next two years, following the successful launch of the 2013 Lexus GS. The 2013 ES represents a noteworthy departure from the model it replaces, and rightfully so if it intends to keep abreast of the competition. While it carries forward the same V-6 engine and front-engine/front-wheel drive layout as the previous model, virtually everything else -- including the gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrain option -- is new.
Aspirational luxury shoppers have long looked at Lexus for Toyota reliability in an upscale package. With the new ES, Lexus hopes to prove that passion is part of the mix, and that it can build the best luxury car in the midsize segment without abandoning its roots. Confident in its approach, the luxury brand recently invited us to wine country south of Portland, Oregon, to see for ourselves. Heading into the drive, we focused on features that are most important to consumers today: fuel economy, interior amenities, and comfort and space. But was the total package a winner, and is it good enough to challenge the German stalwarts?
At first glance, the new ES is brawny compared to the previous model and it portends a lower, more muscular stance. Starting with the now famous "spindle grille," whether you love it or hate it, the face is masculine with sharp, wrap-around LED daytime running lamps fusing into the sculpted hood and fenders. It's a more youthful face, but well trimmed around the sides with larger wheels and less fender gap -- a detail not lost on younger buyers. Wheel-to-wheel, the new ES slightly resembles a cross between the old ES and the current IS with its familiar tall doorsills and speeding-bullet backseat window. But there's also a neat touch near where the rear fender bulge and rearmost window pillar meet. Lexus designers sculpted this bit for a seamless front-to-rear and wrap-around flow. If you're a butt man (or gal), you'll appreciate the dual-exhaust tips (or none at all for the ES 300h), streamlined deck lid and spoiler, and a pair of taillights that impress you more the longer you look.
Speaking of flow, the 2013 ES achieves a drag coefficient of just .27. And it looks like it, too. Lexus says it achieved this figure by incorporating fins on the doorframe covers near the outside mirror that create vortices to smooth the airflow. And there are underbody covers that do the same underneath the car. While all that sounds techy and reads like Latin to most folks, it means that the new ES is aerodynamically efficient, helping to improve stability and fuel economy while also reducing wind noise.
For 2013, Lexus plans to offer nine exterior colors. The ES 350 and ES 300h come standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, and the ES 350 has two optional wheel choices in 17- and 18-inch varieties.
That's the attention to detail with which Lexus speaks of the ES' interior, and lest you forget, equivalencies include comfortable, luxurious, and Wow!
At first glance, the horizontal dash and center stack look busy, but it's actually rather impressive -- and simple to use. Like the exterior, the dash flows in a logical manner, as placed from -- and for -- the driver's hands and eyes. In front of the driver's elbow rest is the Lexus "remote touch" mouse. It controls the 7-inch multi-instrument display, including a very good, eight-speaker audio system (and the exemplary Mark Levinson optional audio system), an optional GPS navigation, fuel consumption, and climate controls. Of course, we're looking forward to spending more time playing with Lexus' Enform 2.0 infotainment and Apps Suite. Below and right of the steering wheel is the drive mode select knob, switching the engine and steering response from Eco to Normal and Sport drive modes.
The multi-adjustable seats are made of the kind of soft leather that allows you to sink down inside, which is way more supportive than it sounds. As for space, consider that the front has 41.9-inches of legroom; this is a very good amount even if you can't visualize exactly what that means. But more impressively, the rear seats have 40.0-inches of legroom, a whopping 4.1-inches more than the outgoing ES, and nearly as much legroom as the front seats. Head, hip, and shoulder space is similarly generous, such that four adults can ride in the ES on a long trip with little complaint. While on the topic of space, the ES 300h has 12.1 cubic feet of cargo space, which is 3 cubic-feet less than the ES 350 due to the battery pack for the hybrid motor. Both are large enough for a trip to Costco, and can easily accommodate a golf bag.
Since this is a Lexus, it's worth mentioning the twelve airbags, three LATCH points with tethers, anti-lock brakes with brake assist and electronic brake distribution, traction and stability controls, blindspot mirrors with rear cross traffic alert, which looks brilliant for use in a parking lot, and pre-collision and dynamic radar cruise control. Basically, the 2013 Lexus ES is smarter and safer than you.
I'll save the long-winded answer for an upcoming full review. In the meantime, I'll just say that both engines are very good. The V-6 has been appropriately tamed, though not completely to the extent that I hoped, but it's good nonetheless. With a revised six-speed automatic transmission and clever tuning, it now rates up to 31 mpg on the highway, up from 27 mpg highway in the previous ES. That's impressive, considering that it still sprints to freeway speeds in about seven seconds. The 200-hp four-cylinder hybrid is a tad slower (8.1-seconds to 60 mph, according to Lexus), but at 40 mpg city/39 mpg highway, who cares? The continuously variable transmission was linear and smooth in all drive modes and in all manners of highway driving, and I think it will be a viable, livable option for everyday driving and commuting.
My only gripe with the new ES is its electronic power steering. The steering response changes according to drive mode, such that when in Eco or Normal drive mode, the steering is loose and easy -- but busy. In day-to-day commuting, this may not be an issue. In parking lots, specifically, this might be an asset. But even in non-spirited driving on country lanes and windy roads, it required extraneous attention. You almost don't notice this if you never drive in Sport mode, however, when the steering response is tighter and inspiring. But switching back to Eco or Normal, and it becomes noticeable and uneasy. Practically speaking, this simply means the driver has to make more steering corrections more often.
With that said, though, the ES is not a bad-handling car. In fact, it demonstrated admirable agility for a front-wheel drive sedan with a cushy suspension and all-season tires. Even the brakes felt firm under my feet, and I never felt curious or afraid that I would find its limitations. The ES 300h may be the most plush hybrid cruiser on the market, and never before has a heavy, front-wheel drive mid-size hybrid sedan felt so uncompromised.
Lexus is now autonomous from Toyota, and its designers and engineers are now free to build the kinds of cars that they want with minimal interventions and restrictions from company brass. The significance of this newfound freedom is monumental considering the ultraconservative atmosphere there over the last decade. This cannot be stressed more by the fact that the newest GS actually won a comparison test at our sister publication Motor Trend, and that this 2013 Lexus ES has the chutzpah to solidify the claim for change.
But the ES has not just changed, it has metamorphosed into something greater. It retains the easygoing and toned-down spirit of its lineage, yet it's more engaging than ever. That's not to say the 2013 Lexis ES is a sports sedan (it's not), or that it is aggressive (it's not), or that its modern interior and technology will alienate baby boomers (it won't). But the 2013 ES is more than the sum of its parts, and that adds up to more than enough in just about every category that matters. It's too early to tell if the ES will be a home run, but it sure looks like Lexus squared the ball up. That ball is rising, and only time will tell if it's caught at the warning track, or whether it soars into the stands.
(What, did you think I was going to end this with a chiseled bar of soap allusion?)

Love can last for a fleeting moment or allow you a lifetime of joy, and it doesn't discriminate between us it applies to a girl or a boy. Sex is a chemical reaction from the body but not from the mind, in society they call it making love but that kind of love makes you blind. Sex is only a part of love if you're in love at the start, for sex just relieves the body but love satisfies the heart. Some people go looking for love like some kind of Holy Grail, but love is a gift that comes to you if you search for it you will fail.

Norway Emigration and ImmigrationEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or coming into (immigrating) a country. Norwegian emigration records can be a useful source of genealogical information. They are usually found as passenger lists. There are also some records of passports issued. The information in these records includes the emigrants' names, ages, occupations, destinations, and places of origin or birthplaces.
These sources can be very valuable in helping you determine where in Norway your ancestor came from. They can also help in constructing family groups. If you do not find your ancestor, you may find emigration information about your ancestor's neighbors. People who lived near each other in Norway often settled together in the country they emigrated to.
This section discusses the following:
- How to find the ancestor's town of origin
- History of emigration from Norway
- Passenger lists
- Records of Norwegian immigrants in the United States
Fortunately, Norwegian emigration records are numerous. There are also some helpful records of Norwegian immigrants in the United States.
Contents |
How to Find the Ancestor's Town of Origin
Once you have traced your family to an immigrant ancestor, you must determine the city or town the ancestor was from. Norway has no nationwide index to birth, marriage, or death records. These records were kept locally.
Several sources may contain your ancestor's place of origin. You may be able to learn the town your ancestor came from by talking to older family members. Family members or a library may have documents that name the city or town, such as:
- Birth, marriage, and death certificates
- Obituaries
- Journals
- Photographs
- Letters
- Family Bibles
- Church certificates/records
- Naturalization applications and petitions
- Passenger lists
- Passports
- Family heirlooms
If your ancestor has a surname that does not end in sen or son, the name itself may be a clue to the place in Norway where the family came from. Check a Norwegian Gazetteer such as Norsk Stedsfortegnelse (FHL 948.1 E8ns, 1972; microfiche number 6054629) to determine if the surname appears as a place name and where it is located in the country. See the "Names, Personal" section for further information about Norwegian naming customs.
History of Emigration from Norway
Between 1836 and 1920 an estimated 900,000 people left Norway. Most of them went to the United States and Canada. This wave of emigration was caused by the increase in Norwegian population and a desire to own land. While people of many occupations left Norway, most of these emigrants were farmers. The first emigrant ship left Norway in 1825, but the real wave of emigration started in 1836. Most who left Norway before 1825 first went to other European countries and then traveled to their destination.
1836 to 1865. An estimated 200,000 emigrants left Norway during this period. The emigration movement took root all over the country. Groups of emigrants came from every county and most communities. Every spring, ships left from ports all over Norway. In this early period the emigrants sailed to their various destinations, supplying themselves with food and commodities for a trip that could last as long as three months. Ninety-five percent of these went to the United States.
1866 to 1920. In the mid 1860s, large numbers of people began leaving Norway on steamships. Most emigrants sailed to Hull, England; then traveled by train to Liverpool, England. From there they sailed to the United States and Canada. Steamships took only two to three weeks instead of three months, so emigration increased. During this time period 700,000 people left Norway. However, emigration declined in the mid-1870s because of a recession in the United States.
Passenger Lists
No passenger lists exist for any of the Norwegian ports before 1867. Prior to this time, emigrant groups generally bought or chartered a ship and left from almost any of Norway's many ports. For earlier emigration records, check the Family History Library Catalog:
These records may be on microfilm, on microfiche, or in book form. Some emigration sources are listed in periodicals, listed in the local histories (Bygdebøker), or found as passport records. Some Norwegians emigrated via Altona, Norway, and Hamburg, Germany.
After the mid-1860s, most Norwegian emigrants left through the ports of Kristiania (Oslo), Bergen, Trondheim, and Stavanger. The records of departures from these ports are called passenger lists. The information in these lists varies over time but usually includes the emigrants' names, ages, occupations, last places of residence, and destination. When a family group emigrated together, the list also contains the members' relationships to the head of the household. Passenger lists are available for most ports used by Norwegian emigrants. Most are indexed at least by the first letter of the surname.
The Family History Library has microfilm copies of the following original records. The film numbers are listed in the Family History Library Catalog under:
Kristiania (Oslo) Passenger lists | 1867 to 1902 |
Indexes | 1867 to 1902 |
White Star Line (unindexed) | 1883 to 1902 |
These records are alphabetized by the first letter of the surname only and then listed chronologically by date. They are handwritten and often difficult to read.
Passenger lists |
1874 to 1925 |
A typewritten version of the Bergen lists has been copied and indexed on microfiche. The passenger list from Bergen is also available on the Internet at:
A good index of Norwegians who emigrated from Bergen-Quebec was made from Quebec passenger lists:
- Fornavsregister til skipslistene Bergen-Quebec 1865-1873 (Given name Index to the Ship Lists Bergen-Quebec 1865-1873), Bergen, Norway: Statsarkivet, 1993. (FHL book 948.33 W3b). This index is also available on the Internet (see below).
Passenger lists |
1867 to 1926 |
These lists have been indexed alphabetically by first name and surname(s). The index is on microfilm and is typewritten.
The original passenger lists from Stavanger were destroyed. A list of emigrants from Rogaland County has been reconstructed from many other sources such as registers of people moving out of the parishes, newspaper articles, obituaries, and local histories. This emigrant list, known as the Rogaland emigration index, covers the earliest emigration period until the present day. It is alphabetized by the first letter only. For example, all the surnames beginning with "A" will be filed together in no particular order.
Other Ports
There are also passenger lists from Kristiansand (1873 to 1927,) Kristiansund (1882 to 1959), and Alesund (1852 to 1923).
Passport journals also exist for Kristiansund (1837 to 1909)Alesund (1852 to 1916), and Romsdal rural district (1846 to 1925).
There is also an alphabetical list by given name, then surname of the people who emigrated from Telemark County, Norway, between 1814 and 1900:
Emigrant kartotek Telemark frem til år 1900. (Emigrant Card Index for Telemark up to the year 1900). [S.1.:s.n., 1982]. (FHL fiche 6350054.)
An excellent index to most of the above passenger lists is found on the Internet in both Norwegian and English at:
(Click on "emigratner" and then search the list of your choice.)
This site includes indexes for the following:
- Passenger lists from Bergen to New York, 1871-1873
- Passenger lists from Bergen, 1875-1924
- Passports issued for travel to America from Bergen, 1842-1860
- Ship's lists from Bergen to New York, 1871-1873
- Emigrants from Bergen City by place of birth or residence
- Passenger lists from Kristiania (Oslo)
- Passenger lists from Kristiansand
- Emigration records from Stavanger
- Migrants from Gran parish, 1825-1900
- Migrants from Jevnaker parish, 1837-1901
- Migrants from Valdres, 1816-1867
Records of Norwegian Immigrants in the United States
Most early Norwegian immigrants to the United States settled in the Midwest, but many also settled in other parts of the United States and Canada.
Passenger lists. Most Norwegian immigrants to the United States arrived at the ports of New York and Quebec. The Family History Library has microfilm copies of the records of all the major North American ports. Some are indexed. See the United States Research Outline for further information about United States immigration records.
County histories. Histories from the counties where Norwegians settled sometimes provide the immigrants' towns of origin.
War records. Civil War service and pension records and World War I draft registration records sometimes give clues as to what a person's place of origin in Norway was.
Naturalization. Naturalization records from county, state, and district courts may give important clues as to where an immigrant was from and when he or she lived there.
Census records. The United States federal censuses for 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 list the year of immigration and indicate if a person had been naturalized.
Church records. Church records from Norwegian churches in America can be useful in your research. (See the "Archives and Libraries" section for an address to the Evangelical Lutheran churches in America.)
An important work on early emigration from Norway to the United States is:
- Ulvestad, Martin Nordmænderne i Amerika deres historie og rekord (Norwegians in America Their History and Record) Two Volumes. Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA: History Book Company's Forlag, 1907. (FHL book 973 F2u pt. 1 and 2; film 0896612, item 1).
This book describes many early Norwegian immigrants in every state in the Union, most with a place of origin.
Another useful book about early Norwegian immigration to America is:
- Naesetgm Gerhard B. Norwegian Immigrants to the United States, A Biographical Directory, 1825-1850. Two Volumes. Decorah, Iowa, USA: Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum, 1997. (FHL book 973 D3nn)

I am such a fan of Los Pollitos, but this time they really let me down. This was the first time I ever tried the vegetable fajita, because I wanted to be a bit more healthy. It was described as grilled vegetables with rice and beans. The refried beans (not black beans, like I was hoping) were floating in a pool of brown liquid, and the vegetables were mostly mushy mushrooms - with very few peppers, a staple of fajitas. Boooo!

I order the things quesadilla or burrito. Every time is delicious and spicy. I also get the chips and guacamole. The container is small and you get a container of chips on the the side. The 8.75 is a bit much should be a little cheaper so thats why the 4 stars for price but otherwise delicious food also a great place to go out to eat at.

We ordered the chicken enchiladas with green tomatillo sauce and the shrimp criollo. While the enchiladas had good flavor and the the chicken was fresh, the sauce was more of a cream sauce. The rice and black beans that came with it were delicious. The shrimp criollo was another issue entirely. For $14.50, the portion was TINY. 5 shrimp and a pile of rice. The salsa and olives that the shrimp are supposedly sautéed in were nonexistent. The food also took over an hour to arrive and I live 3 blocks away. While I would consider ordering from them again, I will definitely be trying some other Mexican options in the neighborhood first.

Bhakkar is the city principle of Bhakkar District. It is located at 31˚37'60N 71˚4'0E at an elevation of 159 metres and lies on the left bank of the Indus river. It has a population of almost 300,000 and was given status of district in 1981.
Bhakkar city is also the administrative centre of Bhakkar Tehsil one of the four tehsils of the District. Bhakkar Tehsil is subdivided into 17 union councils. Three of which from the city of Bhakkar.
Etymology and History
History of Bhakkar is very old there are many myths, mysteries and variety of elaborations about Bhakkar.Some say that the original name of Bhakkar was Sakhar and with the passage of time it became Bhakkar.
Some say that it was said to be named after the great Balouch Sardar, an adventurer, who was leading a body of colonists from Dera Ismail Khan, it was towards the close of the fifteenth century they say that the descendants were ousted later on by Ahmad Shah Abdali, a great invader.
During British rule Bhakkar Town was headquarters of Bhakkar Tehsil (now Bhakkar District) in Mianwali District, and was on the North-Western Railway line. The municipality was created in 1874. Its income and expenditure during the ten years ending 1902-3 averaged Rs. 7,700. The income in 1903-4 was Rs. 7,500, chiefly derived from octroi; and the expenditure was Rs. 8,600. The population according to the 1901 census of India was 5,312, at that time the town contained a dispensary and a municipal vernacular middle school.
The Imperial Gazetteer of India described the town as follows:
" |
It stands on the edge of the Thal or sandy plain overlooking the low-lying alluvial lands along; the river, a channel of which is navigable as far as Bhakkar during the floods. To the west of the town the land is low, well cultivated, and subject to inundation, while to the east the country is high and dry, treeless, and sandy. A rich extent of land irrigated from wells lies below the town, protected by embankments from inundations of the Indus, and produces two or three crops in the year. The neighbouring riverain is full of date groves and fruit gardens; and in it stands a famous mango-tree, the fruit of which used to be sent to Kabul in the old days of Afghan rule. |

The town has some historical places like the Dilkusha Bagh which is believed by some to be a Mughal garden built by Humayun, however Humayun never visited the area, on his retreat to Iran, he went to another Bakhar in Sindh to seek help from Mahmood Khan, which was however denied by historian Henry Raverty.
The old town was walled and had the Tavela, Imamanwala and King Gates, of the three the King Gate, which was built during the British period and was named after Mr. King the then Deputy Commissioner of the Mianwali District, survives - since the end of colonial rule it has been renamed as the Jinnah Gate
There are remains of a handera (tomb) near Sheikh Raoo bridge, which is believed to be the burial place of Bakhar Khan, the founder of the city. The present police station was originally a Baloch fortress. Some 30 years ago a branch of River Indus flowed past the town. West side of the town was green and pleasant.
This is a very scarce silver coin belonging to the reign of Nadir Shah 1148-1160 AH (1735-1747) of the Afsharid dynasty. It is an Indian type minted during his post-occupation of. It is listed by type as Album #2744.2 (Type D). It weighs 11.3 gr. (18 mm.) and minted in the city of Bhakkar in the state of Punjab in India, dated 1157AH.
BALOUCH, from the very foundation of BHAKKAR balouch are the key figure in its whole history, balouch came to BHAKKAR from two ways.
v HOOT BALOUCH, they came to Bhakkar from Dera Ismail Khan, they crossed the Indus River & invaded Bhakkar, about the close of the fifteenth century.
v RIND BLOUCH, they were sub divided into Mamdani and Jiskani Balouch, they came from KAICH MAKRAN & SIBI Balouchistan.
The very first tribe who invaded Bhakkar was Mamdani, later on Jiskani tribe came and became the ruler very soon, now all other tribes became their allies, the state of blouchs was now on its boom, it has now got spread to boundaries of Mianwali, Kot-Adu and Indus river.
Mankera fort was the headquarter and strong hold, Bhakkar was a small fort as compare to Mankera.
Blouch tribe enjoy their rule till the close of the eighteenth century until the fall of Abdul Ghani Kalhora in Sindh, this was the incident of 1790, now Kalhora backed by the Afghan Govt. was very much weak, Kalhora got capture Bhakkar very easily, the Blouch tribe scattered, some were ruined, some flee to Layyah some to Bahawal Pur some to Kala Maoza near Shaddan Lund, and some hide them in Jungles.
Latter on when Kalhora became the rebel to Afghan govt. he was attacked and replaced by Nawab Muzafar, who was also backed by Afghan govt.
At that time a very renouned Balouch leader Muhammad Khan gathered the scattered Blouches & invaded the Muzafar rule, now he became the ruler & got the epithet sir Buland Khan.
Sir Buland Khan ruled for about five to six years when the Sikh came there & the Sikh invaded got captured Bhakkar in 1821.
Blouch were basically invaded, hunters, who were very fond of camels, very few of them were farmers, they ruled the Bhakkar state for a long time, now too they are also a big tribe, enjoy the majority & strong hold of Bhakkar all the main politicians & rulers i.e. Nawani, Shahani are Blouch.
They are also play a key role for world Blouch warma.

Versioning and Quality Distortion in Software? Evidence from E-Commerce Panel Data
We present a framework for measuring software quality using pricing and demand data, and empirical estimates that quantify the extent of quality degradation associated with software ver- sioning. Using a 7-month, 108-product panel of software sales from Amazon.com, we document the extent to which quality varies across di¤erent software versions, estimating quality degradation that ranges from as little as 8% to as much as 56% below that of the corresponding ?agship ver- sion. Consistent with prescriptions from the theory of vertical di¤erentiation, we also ?nd that an increase in the total number of versions is associated with an increase in the di¤erence in quality between the highest and lowest quality versions, and a decrease in the quality di¤erence between "neighboring" versions. We compare our estimates with those derived from two sets of subjective measures of quality, based on CNET editorial ratings and Amazon.com user reviews, and discuss competing interpretations of the signi?cant di¤erences that emerge from this comparison. As the ?rst empirical study of software versioning that is based on both subjective and econometrically estimated measures of quality, this paper provides a framework for testing a wide variety of results in IS that are based on related models of vertical di¤erentiation, and its ?ndings have important implications for studies that treat web-based user ratings as cardinal data.Download Info

The Other Paper:
Rex Ryan has more than just Jets fans horning into his off-season activities these days.
Animal-rights group PETA is now criticizing the New York Jets coach for helping kick off the annual San Fermin Festival by joining thousands in the running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, on Sunday and Monday.
Everyone together. P-E-T-A Peta! Peta! Peta!
Michelle Cho, PETA'S associate director, sent Ryan a letter Thursday asking him to refrain from future bull runs and clued him in on the abuse the animals endure — including death by sword.
"I implore you … to pledge never again to participate in this cruel event," Cho wrote.
"An aspect of the cruel spectacle that you likely didn't witness is that prior to runs, bulls are held in corrals, where the scared and confused animals are jabbed with electric prods and sharp sticks in order to rile them," Cho wrote.
Ryan — who was ridiculed for having a Mark Sanchez tattoo while vacationing last winter — joined thousands of thrill-seekers running with the bulls in the annual celebration. Photos captured the red-scarfed coach frantically bulldozing through the crowd as one of the angry beasts jabs a participant. A video shows the slimmed down coach clumsily trying scale a fence while a bull rampages down a narrow street.
The Jets declined to comment.

Is this folliculitis? A couple months ago I had gotten a pretty nasty zit on an area of my body that I shaved. It was so bad it left a scar. At any rate a few weeks ago, that same spot flared up horribly. I had not shaved that area either. What makes me curious too is it happened literally right after I had gotten done chowing down a burger, fries, and and soda. Is this folliculitis? Is it stemming from some other internal problem. I've noticed this reaction on my scalp as well, as I develop cystic acne sometimes towards the back after I've eaten a lot of carbs. |

text: This Super Battle Droid action figure is as close as it gets when compared to the character in the Clone Wars TV Show. Hasbro didn't include any articulation in the knees or ankles, which is probably an advantage because the Battle Droid's knees are pretty thin, and this way it gives the figure more stability. The droid has some problems standing by itself as is already. The two missile launchers are removable, but it does look a bit better with them attached (and the missle's removed). Overall, this is a good figure and it is spot on when compared to the animated version. On a side note, Hasbro released this figure in two different versions in The Clone Wars Collection, one all clean, and one dirty. The one pictured here is the dirty version.

| Which sound card do you recommend? Hey all, I need another soundcard because my Creative Fatelity x-Pro Elite I think does not work anymore. I tried to solve the issue and asked people here to help, but nothing worked. I need a soundcard so that I can record what I listen to with programs such as Roxio, Sony SoundForge. Also, if you know any other programs that can record from the motheboard Soundcard, please let me know, and I don't mean record from my WebCam or Mic because I get lot of ambient noise from those. Know any programs that can record from MB Soundcard? And what Soundcard do you guys recommend, I need at least 7.1. All the reviews I read there is always someone having issues with it. I prefer Creative, Asus is good too. Thank You, Peyman |

| Just a month ago, I purchased an Asus Xonar D2X and I love it. I got fed up with poor driver quality from my SB Xfi and it's constant snap-crackle-pop while playing games or listening to music. The sound quality is excellent and I've had no SCP issues. I've had no issues with older games either. I highly recommend it. T |

| Because of many problem posts on the Dell Users Forum with the SoundBlaster Xfi's that Dell was using when my old sound card died I avoided the SoundBlasters and installed a HT Omega Striker 7.1 and it worked great, but it does not have hardware MIDI synths like SoundBlaster has, and I need those synths. So I moved the Striker 7.1 card to the "backup" PC and installed a new SoundBlaster Xfi Titanium Fatality Champion and it's working great in Win 7 64 bit. |

| fireberd: How'd you get your Dell to recognize the Titanium? I run Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. Downloaded all the new SB drivers for Windows 7 from the Creative site. The instruction is to run the Product ID tool first... so I did... but it won't run! It tells me I'm not running Windows 7 and it requires Windows 7. I'm running Windows 7! I'm ready to send the Titanium back to Buy.com.... Any advice? Thanks so much for posting. I've got a glimmer of hope here... |

| I don't know what's with the Creative drivers. For some it works, for some it doesn't. I guess it has to do with hardware too since some people get it working on Win 7 and others do not. I think I'll be switching over to either Asus Xonar Dx2 or Asus Xonar Essence since the reviews I am reading are saying they both work with Windows 7 Creative can kiss my A** Goodbye Peyman |

| I don't have the SB installed on a Dell. It's on my home built system, which uses an Intel motherboard. As I look back over the Dell posts it appears the biggest problems were with the OEM version PCI Xfi cards that they used. The newer models, which are PCIe, do not seem to be causing problems. |

General Clinic
How should I prepare for my visit with the doctor?
Bring a detailed list of any new symptoms or problems that are prompting the visit, including when they started.
Bring all medications, vitamins, or supplements (including herbal ones) that you are taking.
Jot down in advance any questions you want to ask or issues you need to have the doctor clarify.
Arrive on time.
Arrive early if your insurance requires a copayment, and check in at the appointment desk as soon as you arrive.
To prevent any distractions to you or the doctor, please turn off your cell phone when you are in the exam room or leave your phone at home or in the car.
Please refrain from bringing food or beverages into the exam room.
Advise your doctor of any changes to your health history, such as weight loss or gain, modifications to diet, new exercise program, altered sleep patterns, etc.
When you leave, ask your doctor when you should be seen again.
Schedule future appointments and tests before you leave.
If you need to cancel your appointment for any reason, be sure to call so you can be rescheduled.
Who can I talk to about a complaint?
Service excellence is the number one priority at Jefferson Medical Associates, and there are a number of avenues available for you to share your opinions in this regard. You can always ask to speak to the supervisor of any department, area, or site when you have an experience that you feel is less than excellent. We encourage you to take this step for immediate resolution of any problem or issue.
General Medical
What is the difference between an MD and a DO?
MD stands for Medical Doctor and DO stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. Both have four years of undergraduate and four years of basic medical education. Both must pass similar state licensing exams after completing a residency. Both practice in fully accredited and licensed medical centers and hospitals. A DO has additional training in the musculoskeletal system with a greater focus on the body's interconnected system of nerves, muscles, and bones, and the root or cause of a problem. A DO uses manipulative treatment such as soft tissue techniques and massage therapy to help improve circulation and mobility and therefore promote healing. Because DOs practice a "whole person" approach to medicine, most are general practitioners. However, a DO can enter into a specialty, such as cardiology or orthopedics, just as an MD can.
What is a Nurse Practitioner?
A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse who has completed specific advanced nursing education (generally a master's degree) and training in the diagnosis and management of common as well as a few complex medical conditions. Nurse Practitioners are generally licensed through nursing boards rather than medical boards as they provide advanced nursing services. All nurse practitioners are considered "mid-level" providers similar to physician assistants (PAs). Nurse Practitioners provide a broad range of health care services.
Nurse Practitioners treat both physical and mental conditions through comprehensive history taking, physical exams, physical therapy, ordering tests and therapies for patients, within their scope of practice. NPs can serve as a patient's primary health care provider, and see patients of all ages depending on their designated scope of practice.
In the United States, NPs are licensed by the state in which they practice, and have a national board certification (usually through the American Nurses Credentialing Center or American Academy of Nurse Practitioners). Nurse Practitioners can be trained and nationally board certified in areas of FNP (Family Nurse Practitioner), Pediatrics, including Pediatric Acute/Chronic Care, Pediatric Critical Care, Pediatric Oncology and general Pediatrics (PNP), Neonatology (NNP), Gerontology (GNP), Women's Health (WHNP), Psychiatry & Mental Health (PMHNP), Acute Care (ACNP), Adult Health (ANP), Oncology (ONP), Emergency Medicine (as FNP or ACNP), Occupational Health (as ANP), etc. These programs, offered by many universities with a School of Nursing, are graduate-level nursing programs; upon completion students may be awarded a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) or Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree.
In regard to level and scope of practice, each state certifies nurse practitioners thus their scope of practice can differ depending on the state. Nurse practitioners may practice independent of physician supervision.
What is a Clinical Assistant?
Clinical Assistants, or Medical assistants, can be certified or registered health care workers who perform the administrative and clinical tasks that keep the offices of licensed health practitioners running smoothly. They should not be confused with physician assistants.
Medical assistants must work under a physician's direct supervision when performing clinical duties delegated by the physician.
Some states allow medical assistants to perform more advanced procedures, such as giving injections or taking X-rays, after passing a test or taking a course.
Medical assistants perform many administrative duties, including answering telephones, greeting patients, updating and filing patients' medical records, filling out insurance forms, handling correspondence, scheduling appointments, arranging for hospital admission and laboratory services, and handling billing and book keeping. Duties vary according to state law and include taking medical histories and recording vital signs, explaining treatment procedures to patients, preparing patients for examination, and assisting during diagnostic examinations. Medical assistants collect and prepare laboratory specimens and dispose of contaminated supplies. They instruct patients about medications and special diets, prepare patients for X-rays and take electrocardiograms. Last but not least they serve as direct link and communicator between patient and other health care professionals whenever there is a need.

Mission Statement Our Mission is to assist and empower individuals, on their journey of sobriety by providing a safe and supportive environment that treats all people with respect and dignity. Our goal is to change lives one at a time through modeling, educating and supporting individuals on their road to recovery. Recovery Village Philosophy Alcoholism and drug addiction is a disease that is progressive that affects all areas of a person's life and often co-occurs with problems like depression, anxiety and trauma. It can affect anyone, particularly children. Recovery Village provides a special approach and is sensitive to the unique needs of individuals recovering from alcohol and drug dependency with their children. Recovery Village stresses the changes in thinking and behavior that come from acceptance of personal responsibility for one's own recovery. Areas worked on include learning more about alcoholism and addiction, identifying how drinking and using has affected all aspects of life, finding ways to repair some of the damage, discovering ways to remain clean and sober to stop the cycle of addiction, and minimize the future effects it will have on children.

Parque Nacional Fray Jorge Review
The thought of a patch of land that is rich with vegetation and animal life in the heart of El Norte Chico's dry, desolate landscape seems to defy logic. But Parque Nacional Fray Jorge, a UNESCO world biosphere reserve since 1977, has a small cloud forest similar to those found in Chile's damp southern regions. The forest, perched 600 meters (1,968 feet) above sea level, receives its life-giving nourishment from the camanchaca (fog) that constantly envelops it. Within this forest you'll come across ferns and trees found nowhere else in the region. A slightly slippery boardwalk leads you on a 20-minute tour. Budget time for the park as part of a longer day—the idea of "national park" in Chile is different from the concept in North America, and the "park" part of Fray Jorge is rather small. Although interesting, Fray Jorge will not take a lot of time to see, but there is a picnic table where you can lunch and watch the fog drift over the Pacific Ocean below.

SHELTON, Conn. (AP) A 76-foot Norway spruce is joining thousands of other Connecticut commuters as it heads to work in midtown Manhattan.
For the second time in six years, the city of Shelton is sending a Christmas tree to New York City's Rockefeller Center for the annual holiday display. Workers were cutting the tree down Thursday and sending it by tractor-trailer to New York City, 70 miles away.
It's expected to arrive in Manhattan overnight and go up Friday morning.
Mayor Mark Lauretti says furnishing Rockefeller Center with a tree is a big deal for Shelton, which calls itself ``the best affordable suburb in Connecticut.''
The tree-lighting ceremony is scheduled for Dec. 4. The tree will remain on display until Jan. 7.
Rockefeller Center has displayed Christmas trees since 1931.

Advantages: Too many to mention
Disadvantages: Some boring chapters
Well, what can I say, I first read this book when I was 15 and in the 7 years since then I have read it 3 times and it is not a small book ( 1000 pages ). I don't read many books but I partically like this one, it has everything, excitement, in the form of battles, quests and the amount of different characters. It has romance. It has twists and there a lot of those. It is basically the story of Frodo Baggins and a magical ring that makes him disappear. The baddy in the form of Sauron needs this ring in order to complete his set of rings so he can become all powerful and rule the land. The book tells the story of how Frodo has to destroy this ring ( because its the only way of making sure it never falls in to the wrong hands ) with help from his friends which include Gandalf ( from the Hobbit and a wizard) , varous elfs, hobbits and a human called strider and other names. Strider also plays a very big role in the book. I would recommend this book to anyone.

*OMG! Estelle rocked it a while back at the WEtv premiere of "Sanya's Glam & Gold," an original docu-series about the fast-paced life of Olympic gold medalist, Sanya Richards-Ross.
Richards-Ross and her husband, NFL star and two-time Super Bowl champion Aaron Ross, take on the world as athletes and as a family.
Estelle's latest single, "Love Jones" is now available for free download on her website.
The song is from "Love & Happiness: Vol. 1." She's been hitting fans with a delightful summer series of free EPs. Who doesn't love free?
In the meantime, Estelle's body hugging green leopard dress is to die for. The cut out back is perfect for summer, or any time you're feeling a little sexy.
And the great news is, it's versatile. Wear it to brunch, a night out with the girls, or like Estelle, red carpet baby. Get the dress at TopShop.com. It comes in blue too!
Dress it up with your finest pumps. We chose some can't let 'em go Cesare Paciotti ankle boots with a flowering ruffle. These hot leathers are great for any occasion and any season. Besides, leather is worth the investment. It nearly lasts forever! Get the shoes at Yoox.com.

If one gene regulates another, those two genes are likely to be involved in many of the same biological functions. Conversely, shared biological function may be suggestive of the existence and nature of a regulatory interaction. With this in mind, we develop a measure of functional similarity between genes based on annotations made to the Gene Ontology in which the magnitude of their functional relationship is also indicative of a regulatory relationship. In contrast to other measures that have previously been used to quantify the functional similarity between genes, our measure scales the strength of any shared functional annotation by the frequency of that function's appearance across the entire set of annotations. We apply our method to both Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene annotations and find that the strength of our scaled similarity measure is more predictive of known regulatory interactions than previously published measures of functional similarity. In addition, we observe that the strength of the scaled similarity measure is correlated with the structural importance of links in the known regulatory network. By contrast, other measures of functional similarity are not indicative of any structural importance in the regulatory network. We therefore conclude that adequately adjusting for the frequency of shared biological functions is important in the construction of a functional similarity measure aimed at elucidating the existence and nature of regulatory interactions. We also compare the performance of the scaled similarity with a high-throughput method for determining regulatory interactions from gene expression data and observe that the ontology-based approach identifies a different subset of regulatory interactions compared with the gene expression approach. We show that combining predictions from the scaled similarity with those from the reconstruction algorithm leads to a significant improvement in the accuracy of the reconstructed network.

Many companies use exit surveys and interviews as a tool to enhance organizational effectiveness. Robert Hoffman, the principal, chief executive officer of HR Advice.com (www.hradvice.com), which helps guide employees and employers on HR issues, says several factors influence the positive impact of exit information. These include:
Application of results - Possibly the most critical factor in the assessment of exit information is the use of the results. A mechanism to communicate and summarize the results to managers and key employees is recommended. The company should use the information to influence job content, policies, training programs, feedback mechanisms and operating structure consistent with the objective of continuous improvement.
See the sample document below to assist in the exit process. Please keep in mind a critical factor is the appropriateness of the document for your specific organization. Compatibility between the message you are sending to the employees and how the organization operates should be a consideration.

Comments about Creative Bath 24 oz. Etched Tumblers in Assorted Colors - Set of 6:
A list of things I like about these cups: they are attractive; they have a wide enough base that they don't tip easily; the lip doesn't have any sharp edges; they stack well for tighter packing; and they're dishwasher safe. I wish they were a bit bigger, maybe 28 or 32 oz, but that's hardly a gripe about them and more a gripe about not being able to find BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, good-looking cups that are large enough to hold a whole lot of water.

Palestine Independent School District trustees and other personnel toured the recently completed Career Technology Education building on the Palestine High School campus Monday during a board meeting.
Not only did board members tour the facility, but school personnel and students from every department were on hand to show how the new building is improving its career and technology programs, giving short presentations and slideshows in several classrooms.
The tour ended with a light meal prepared by the culinary arts students in their state-of-the-art kitchen and served in the Wildcat Cafe.
A tour of the CTE building for parents and community members is scheduled for January.
"It's amazing that the school board recognized the CTE program as important to the district and were willing to spend the district's money to make these renovations possible, making opportunities available to students," CTE Director Cody Tunstall said following the tour Monday. "We want students to be college-ready, if possible, but not every student will be going to college, so we want all of them to at least be career-ready.
"We have over 900 students at the high school and we hope all 900 of them will be ready to go to work after graduation. We are doing our best to prepare them."
The board members toured classrooms in the CTE building ranging from: health science; cosmetology; industrial technology; agriculture science; animal science; criminal justice; STEM (science technology, engineering and mathematics); architecture and construction; audio/video technology and communications; culinary arts and more.
General contractor representatives from Buford Thompson Company — Ben Germany and Terry Gober — were on hand to lead the tour of the completed building along with Marshall.
"I want to thank Terry and Ben for all of the work they have been doing. I've always wanted to do a 'design build' and I really appreciate them working with us on this project," PISD Superintendent Jason Marshall said. "I really appreciate the school board members for providing the facility. It's more than rejuvenating a building — it's given us the opportunity to offer more programs to the kids."
Agriculture science teacher Sam Stanley was among the instructors on hand for the tour, showing the school board members the cutting-edge computer-aided design (CAD) technology the students are using in their classroom.
"We are using the latest and greatest and we are learning right along with the kids," Stanley said. "Compared to what we used to have, this is heaven on earth, very nice."
Future Farmers of America Vice President Amanda Taylor said the new building has made an impression on her educational career. Four FFA officers were among the 20-plus students on hand for the tour.
"I'm a senior so it's nice to have all of this available to students and a good classroom to learn in," Taylor said.
In Marc Hughes' criminal justice classes, students expressed excitement at the new classes offered -- such as forensic science, introduction to criminal justice, court system and practices and correctional systems and practices -- that can transfer over to Texas public universities as dual credit.
"We have 160 students – a pretty high number in these classes," Hughes said.
Student Crystal Ferguson said the criminal justice classes she has taken under Hughes has led her to a desire to become a police officer working with a canine unit.
"He not only made the class fun, but he taught us how to learn on a college level," Ferguson said.
Student Willis Foley enjoys taking forensic science.
"I have an interest in chemistry and biology, so I've enjoyed the forensic science class. Not only did I learn to do investigations using common sense and logical thinking patterns, but I learned about different careers and I'm getting dual credit for them," Foley said.
In many areas, the new facilities allow for more opportunities, such as for students involved in the newly-formed Robotics Club. A couple of students gave demonstrations of their robotic projects during the tour.
"Our Robotics Club is looking to have a competition in Region 7 next year. We're looking forward to great things and getting students exposed to what is out there in the world," STEM coordinator Joseph Baker said.
In the audio/visual technology, yearbook and broadcast journalism department, instructor Cori Peters' students are using some of the most state-of-the-art equipment available.
"I have been told we have computers that are a little better than the ABC network in Chicago," Peters said. "And our students use Final Cut Pro software that professionals in the film industry in Hollywood are using."
Students especially enjoy using the news broadcasting studio and its "green screen" and eventually plan to air their school news broadcasts on cable channel 14 in the future, through a partnership with the local cable company, Peters said.
During the business portion of the school board meeting prior to the tour, the board:
• APPROVED minutes of the special meeting on Dec. 10, bills paid for November, budget amendments and donations.
• HEARD the financial report, monthly investment report and tax collection report.
• HEARD Marshall's report on the 83rd Legislative Session preparations.
• ANNOUNCED the board of trustees' annual continuing education credits.
