Press reviews
Chile is a good source of tasty, affordable reds and here's a juicy, fruity, delicious example. Bursting with sweet blackberry and plum fruit, this is big on taste but easy on the wallet

Here at Conway Relocation we thought it only fitting since it's President's Day this month, to feature a town where Presidents have been born - namely Quincy, Massachusetts (pronounced kwinzi). Quincy is a diverse community in Norfolk County, and is known as the "City of Presidents," as it is the birthplace of John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams. With an estimated population of 91,073 in 2009 it is considered Massachusetts' eighth largest city.
Click Here to Browse Quincy condos and Quincy Homes Available for Sale Now!
Quincy is named for Colonel John Quincy, maternal grandfather of Abigail Adams, who was married to John Adams (the second President of the United States) and after whom John Quincy Adams (the sixth President of the United States) was also named.
The city is made up of 13 unique neighborhoods, from the waterfront of Marina Bay, which has some beautiful condos, to the Merrymount neighborhood which is considered the site of Quincy's original settlement. Each neighborhood shares its own characteristics and stories.
Quincy houses two public high schools, five public middle schools, 12 public elementary schools, several private institutions, The Eastern Nazarene College and Quincy College. Visit http://profiles.doe.mass.edu for more school information.
Commuting to Boston is a snap from Quincy as there are several options from which to choose. You can travel by car via Route 93, otherwise known as the Expressway, take the subway service that's available in any of the five stops in Quincy, use the commuter rail service to South Station, or the commuter boat which crosses Boston Harbor to Long Wharf and Logan Airport. Depending upon your ride, 20-30 minutes should get you to downtown Boston.
As for the real estate market, Quincy had 504 real estate transactions in 2010 consisting of single family, multi-family, and condos. There were 235 single family homes sold averaging out at a sales price of $328,021, with 82 days on market. Multifamily homes were significantly less with 61 selling in the past year with an average sales price of $414,645, with 99 days on market. A total of 204 condos sold in 2010 with the average selling price being $270,912 with days on market totaling 118. In all three categories the selling price was 4% less than the list price across the board.

Stocks, euro slide, hit by Spain bailout worry
- Tweet
- Share this
NEW YORK (Reuters) - World equity markets sold off and the euro set new two-year lows against the U.S. dollar on Monday after reports that more indebted regions in Spain need financial aid fueled fears that the country may need a bailout.
Investors fled to safe-haven government debt and the dollar as Spain's plight, concerns about economic growth and renewed market talk of a possible Greek exit from the euro zone drove investment decisions.
The euro slid as low as $1.2067, its weakest since June 2010, but later pared losses to trade slightly higher at $1.2131. Against the yen, the euro slid near a 12-year low at 94.22 but later trimmed losses.
Crude futures fell more than 3 percent, and yields on U.S., German and British government debt hit record lows. In a sign of investor angst, yields on Spanish government debt hit euro-era highs.
Bond yields, as well as U.S. stocks and oil prices, eased from their session lows. The broad Standard & Poor's 500 index closed down less than 1 percent after tumbling nearly 2 percent.
Five- and 10-year German government bond yields set new lows and U.S. Treasury-note yields hit their lowest since the early 1800s. Ten-year U.S. Treasuries yields fell as low as 1.3977 percent, last trading up 6/32 in price to yield 1.4381 percent.
Spanish media reported that up to six regions may seek aid from the central government after Valencia asked for funds on Friday. That request sent Spanish bonds to a euro-era high of more than 7.5 percent, above the 7 percent level many investors view as sustainable.
How Spain's 17 indebted autonomous regions, locked out of international debt markets, refinance 36 billion euros in debt this year has been a major source of concern for investors ever since they missed deficit targets last year.
"Given the market reaction on the back of the news that more and more regions are looking to tap into the liquidity fund ... it will be very difficult for Spain to circumvent further support for itself," said Norbert Aul, a rate strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
Spanish Economy Minister Luis de Guindos has insisted Spain does not need a full sovereign bailout, such as those approved for Greece, Ireland and Portugal.
The International Monetary Fund dismissed a weekend news report that it may refuse to continue supporting Greece as it prepares for talks with the new Greek government on its international bailout.
Worry over Greece resurfaced with international lenders scheduled to gather in Athens on Tuesday to discuss the terms of further rescue payments after its prime minister said the country was mired in a "Great Depression.
"All it does is it brings up that whole crisis again - all that tells you, it really didn't go away," said Ken Polcari, managing director at ICAP Equities in New York.
Weak results from McDonald's Corp (MCD.N) helped push stocks lower on Wall Street. Shares of materials companies were among the day's weakest, hurt by declines in commodities prices.
McDonald's was the latest earnings casualty among large multinationals after it posted lower-than-expected profit, citing slower global growth and a stronger dollar. McDonald's slid 2.9 percent to $88.94 and was the biggest drag on the Dow.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI closed down 101.11 points, or 0.79 percent, at 12,721.46. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX fell 12.14 points, or 0.89 percent, at 1,350.52. The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC slid 35.15 points, or 1.20 percent, at 2,890.15.
Stocks in Europe ended more than 2 percent lower. The FTSE Eurofirst 300 index .FTEU3 of top European shares fell 2.4 percent to close at 1024.27 points, while the euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index .STOXX50E dropped 2.6 percent to 2,179.31 points, breaking below a key support level.
MSCI's emerging markets index .MSCIEF was down 2.7 percent and its all-country world equity index .MIWD00000PUS fell 1.6 percent, trimming losses of more than 2 percent.
Spain's main share index, the Ibex .IBEX, closed down 1.1 percent, having dropped more than 4 percent earlier in the session.
Brent crude, the world benchmark, briefly slipped below $103 a barrel. Brent settled $3.57 lower at $103.26 a barrel.
U.S. crude for September delivery settled $3.69 a barrel lower at $88.14.
The Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index .CRB of 19 commodities was down 5.69 points, or 1.87 percent, at 298.88.
Spot gold prices fell $6.69 to $1,576 an ounce. U.S. COMEX August gold futures settled $5.40 lower at $1,577.40 an ounce.
(Editing by Kenneth Barry)
You'd think that after two years of pushing this crap that ONE editor would start wondering out loud if this hype is really necessary.
This morning Spain has banned short-selling in its markets for a term of months – all this does is confirm to investors how serious the situation is and how quickly they should take their money elsewhere. Massive capital flight – that's what Spain will now suffer. This will only exacerbate and accelerate the crisis and spread the fear and panic to Italy and beyond.

The key to this system is the cast nodular iron knuckles. The Ranger has an odd tulip-style driveshaft used for the front differential. We have found that these driveshafts wear rapidly after the vehicle is lifted and cause vibration over time. Expect the OE front driveshaft to last no more than 20,000 miles after the vehicle is lifted. Therefore, Superlift offers a heavyduty replacement front driveshaft that incorporates a standard CV joint at the transfer case for improved durability and longevity.

Friday, July 22, 2011
© Copyright 2014
Albany Herald
HOOVER, Ala. -- All things considered, Mark Richt has overseen an extremely successful decade at Georgia.
But big-time college football has a short memory. And Richt's 14-12 record over the past two seasons -- including a 6-7 mark last year -- has put him squarely on the hot seat in Athens.
Even so, the 51-year-old Richt says there's no uncertainty or discontent as the Bulldogs prepare for the season. Georgia is expected to compete for the SEC Eastern Division title now that sophomore quarterback Aaron Murray has a year of experience and seven defensive starters return.
Richt, who in his 11th season in the league wasn't fazed by the hundreds of media on Thursday at SEC Media Days, calmly dealt with questions about his future.
"There's not one sense of gloom and doom," Richt said. "There's only excitement, only guys that are so thankful that we've got a new season and a clean slate and the ability to play some great opponents. Expectations are just as high as they've ever been."
The Bulldogs will get a few big tests early in the season, playing Boise State in their opener and South Carolina in the SEC opener. Richt said his program's recent decline was a big reason for scheduling such a tough opening game.
"There's a risk in playing a team that can whip your tail because they might just whip your tail," Richt said. "But in order for us to get back to where we want to be, which is highly ranked and highly thought of, we need to play this game."
Part of the reason the Bulldogs feel good about their chances is Murray's quick rise into the SEC's elite. As a true freshman, the 6-foot-1, 209-pounder ranked third in the conference with 3,049 yards passing. He threw 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
"He's really a coach's dream in how he approaches the game," Richt said. "He understands preparation. He understands team. His motivation is for Georgia to win."
The Bulldogs added an influx of talent during the offseason, sometimes dubbed as a "Dream Team" of talented in-state recruits. The most celebrated is running back Isaiah Crowell, who could have an immediate impact like South Carolina's Marcus Lattimore did last season.
"(The freshmen) are talented," Murray said. "There are some tremendous athletes in that class and some tremendous big guys. They're ready to go. They work hard."
That's helped offset some of the disappointment from a sometimes rocky offseason -- especially for the backfield. The team's leading rusher, Washaun Ealey, left the program in May after two suspensions for disciplinary reasons. Then senior Caleb King was declared academically ineligible for the upcoming season.
Richt confirmed that junior running back Carlton Thomas will be suspended for the Boise State game, placing even a greater load on Crowell and Richard Samuel, who is moving back to tailback from linebacker.
Thomas had 272 yards rushing and two touchdowns last season.
"Some guys have chosen to move on and a couple guys got a little bit of help," Richt said. "The guys that are still here are really excited about the future."
Senior center Ben Jones, who will be asked to anchor a largely inexperienced offensive line, said the team takes questions about Richt's job security personally.
"That would just crush us if something happened to Coach Richt because of us," Jones said. "... He's like everything to us. That's a reason a lot of us came to Georgia."
If Richt is concerned about his future, he didn't show it. Instead, he was more focused on returning Georgia to the conference elite. The Bulldogs haven't won an SEC championship since 2005.
"Greater things are coming," Richt said. "The best is yet to come."

Hi all. Just bought an 08 Focus Style 1.6. Anyone know how long the information display screen should stay illuminated for after locking the car? Mine seems to vary between 10 and 50 minutes, sometimes going out then coming back on again. Any clues as to what I can do to adjust this? Many thanks.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: environmental pollution and bioremediation
Trends in Biotechnology, Volume 20, Issue 6, 1 June 2002, Pages 243-248
Sudip K Samanta, Om V Singh and Rakesh K Jain
AbstractPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widely distributed and relocated in the environment as a result of the incomplete combustion of organic matter. Many PAHs and their epoxides are highly toxic, mutagenic and/or carcinogenic to microorganisms as well as to higher systems including humans. Although various physicochemical methods have been used to remove these compounds from our environment, they have many limitations. Xenobiotic-degrading microorganisms have tremendous potential for bioremediation but new modifications are required to make such microorganisms effective and efficient in removing these compounds, which were once thought to be recalcitrant. Metabolic engineering might help to improve the efficiency of degradation of toxic compounds by microorganisms. However, efficiency of naturally occurring microorganisms for field bioremediation could be significantly improved by optimizing certain factors such as bioavailability, adsorption and mass transfer. Chemotaxis could also have an important role in enhancing biodegradation of pollutants. Here, we discuss the problems of PAH pollution and PAH degradation, and relevant bioremediation efforts.

Biofilms: implications in bioremediation
Trends in Microbiology, Volume 14, Issue 9, 1 September 2006, Pages 389-397
Rajbir Singh, Debarati Paul and Rakesh K. Jain
AbstractBiofilms are assemblages of single or multiple populations that are attached to abiotic or biotic surfaces through extracellular polymeric substances. Gene expression in biofilm cells differs from planktonic stage expression and these differentially expressed genes regulate biofilm formation and development. Biofilm systems are especially suitable for the treatment of recalcitrant compounds because of their high microbial biomass and ability to immobilize compounds. Bioremediation is also facilitated by enhanced gene transfer among biofilm organisms and by the increased bioavailability of pollutants for degradation as a result of bacterial chemotaxis. Strategies for improving bioremediation efficiency include genetic engineering to improve strains and chemotactic ability, the use of mixed population biofilms and optimization of physico–chemical conditions. Here, we review the formation and regulation of biofilms, the importance of gene transfer and discuss applications of biofilm-mediated bioremediation processes.

Accessing microbial diversity for bioremediation and environmental restoration
Trends in Biotechnology, Volume 23, Issue 3, 1 March 2005, Pages 135-142
Debarati Paul, Gunjan Pandey, Janmejay Pandey and Rakesh K. Jain
AbstractBiological methods for decontamination promise an improved substitute for ineffective and costly physico-chemical remediation methods, although so far only a fraction of the total microbial diversity (i.e. the culturable fraction with metabolic potential) has been harnessed for this purpose. Exploring and exploiting the 'overlooked' genetic resource might ameliorate concerns associated with the degradation of recalcitrant and xenobiotic pollutants that are not degraded or only poorly degraded by known culturable bacteria. Recent advances in the molecular genetics of biodegradation and in knowledge-based methods of rational protein modification provide insight into the development of 'designer biocatalysts' for environmental restoration. The application of such genetically engineered microorganisms (GEMs) in the environment has been limited, however, owing to the risks associated with uncontrolled growth and proliferation of the introduced biocatalyst and horizontal gene transfer. Programming rapid death of the biocatalyst soon after the depletion of the pollutant could minimize the risks in developing these technologies for successful bioremediation.

Bioremediation, an environmental remediation technology for the bioeconomy

Bioremediation differs from other industrial biotechnologies in that, although bioremediation contractors must profit from the activity, the primary driver is regulatory compliance rather than manufacturing profit. It is an attractive technology in the context of a bioeconomy but currently has limitations at the field scale. Ecogenomics techniques may address some of these limitations, but a further challenge would be acceptance of these techniques by regulators.

EPA jumping on the mobile apps bandwagon
Tuesday - 4/27/2010, 12:55pm EDT
The first mobile app could be released by early summer that would let citizens check the ultraviolet index outside to see if they need to put on sunscreen. Travers says other apps around chemical spills and emissions inventory about your community.
While those are external priorities for EPA, Travers says the agency also is improving the E-Rulemaking platform to be more user friendly, and is giving employees the opportunity to use Web 2.0 technologies.
Travers has seen a lot of change over the years at EPA. She is one of the few charter employees at EPA, starting work there in 1970. She has been acting CIO for most of the last year before having to move back to deputy CIO because of rules for how long a career employee can act in a political position.

He'Brew I just don't get them sometimes...2013 release contract brewed at Saratoga Springs, NY same as Mendocino, and some other contract breweries. This is a dubbel doppel hybrid of a dubbel and a doppelbock with fig and date concentrates added. Pours a deep ruby hue with light tan head fine even speckled lacing follows as the head dwindles. Aroma has a grainy character I get from most of the beers contracted at this brewery, however there's a generic fruitiness which has a bit of earthiness to it probably the fig and date concentrate. Sweet flavor as it warms more date/figs come out in the flavor, super sweet raisins, with bready/caramelized malts. Mouthfeel is a bit uneven a bit much carbonation and cloying sugars in between sips. Overall, this is just such a sweet beer it's hard to find balance.

Pours a hazy dark crimson-orange with a foamy beige head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, caramel, toffee, and fruit aromas. Taste is much the same with malt, molasses, and fruit flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of toasty bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer with some nice caramel and toffee aromas that make the smell slightly better than the taste in my opinion.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
22oz bottle, 2013 edition, a strangely hard offering to come by around here, for some reason (taps his nose, i.e. the rep around these parts maybe not doing their job properly).
This beer pours a clear, very dark ruddy brown colour, with two fingers of puffy, caked beige head, which leaves some nice spooky pock-marked sea-cliff lace around the glass as it gently settles.
It smells of dark, somewhat musty citrus and melon fruit, bready caramel malt, sedate yeast, a hint of oily nuttiness, soft clove and black pepper spice, some darker fig and date fruit notes, and the slightest whiff of sidling alcohol. The taste is semi-sweet caramel malt, a wet sourdough breadiness, muddled clove/coriander spice, faltering Belgian yeast, watered down figs and dates, the suggestion of walking through a cooperage in rubber boots, and earthy, mildly perfumed hops.
The carbonation is pretty innocuous for the most part, the body an airy, yet sturdy medium weight, and quite genially smooth, with a mere suggestion of pithy, fruity creaminess. It finishes on the sweet side, the dates and figs coming round to bear, while the grainy caramel malt sits and quietly fumes.
A decent enough rendition of a Middle Eastern-tinged Belgian staple - this whole Jewish schtick taking itself to its logical conclusion within the Rejewvenator line, i.e. 'let's just add the two previous guest ingredients together for the next one!' Sigh. Anyway, this dubbel's attributes shine through well, I suppose, and the Holy Land approved fruitiness doesn't overdo or interfere all that much, so I have to say, in return, L'Chaim, and good job overall, your mama must indeed be proud. Now freaking send us some 17, #ifuknowwhutimean.

Poured from a bottle in the holiday pack into the 17th anniversary glass. May be a little biased because this is the beer that got me started with He'Brew
A- typical dark copper and clear
S- dark fruits...I guess figs and dates. Sweet smelling and malty. No alcohol smell
T- much like the smell would suggest, a sweeter and malty beer with fig and date notes throughout. There is a touch of alcohol at the end, but not overpowering.
M- a little thin but well carbonated
O-Like I said, this is the beer that got me started on He'Brew so I'm a bit partial, but I really enjoy this beer. Maybe not in multiples, but as something unique I think this is a very well done beer!

Brachylobus Dulac (1867)[1] |
Melilotus, known as Melilot or Sweet-clover, is a genus in the family Fabaceae. Members are known as common grassland plants and as weeds of cultivated ground. Originally from Europe and Asia, it is now found worldwide.
This legume is commonly named for its sweet smell, which is due to its high content of the perfume agent coumarin. This chemical is responsible for the sweet smell of hay and is bitter to the taste, probably produced by the plant to discourage ingestion by animals.[2] Coumarin, in turn, is converted by fungi (including Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Mucor[3]) into a poisonous anticoagulant, called dicoumarol, that may be found in moldly or spoiled sweet-clover. This compound was the historical cause of so-called sweet-clover disease, recognized in cattle since the 1920s.[4]
Melilotus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including case-bearers of the genus Coleophora that including C. frischella and C. trifolii.
Melilotus is often used as a green manure and turned into the soil to increase its nitrogen and organic matter content. It is especially valuable in heavy soils because of its deep rooting. However, it may fail if the soil is too acidic. It should be turned into the soil when 8 to 10 inches tall. Unscarified seed is best sown in spring when the ground is not too dry; scarified seed is better sown in late fall or even in the snow, so it will germinate before competing weeds the following spring.[5]
Blue Melilot (Trigonella caerulea) is not a member of the genus, despite the name.
The genus Melilotus currently has nineteen recognized species:[6]
- Melilotus albus Medik.
- Melilotus altissimus Thuill.
- Melilotus dentatus (Waldst. & Kit.) Pers.
- Melilotus elegans Salzm. ex Ser.
- Melilotus hirsutus Lipsky
- Melilotus indicus (L.) All.
- Melilotus infestus Guss.
- Melilotus italicus (L.) Lam.
- Melilotus macrocarpus Coss. & Durieu
- Melilotus officinalis (L.) Lam.
- Melilotus polonicus (L.) Desr.
- Melilotus segetalis (Brot.) Ser.
- Melilotus siculus (Turra) B. D. Jacks.
- Melilotus speciosus Durieu
- Melilotus spicatus (Sm.) Breistr.
- Melilotus suaveolens Ledeb.

Looks Bulky: Star Destroyer Umbrella Concept
It's not the dumbest thing I've ever seen. As a matter of fact, if there's any truth to this aerodynamic umbrella, it might actually be a feasible concept (you'll just have to carry it backwards). Sure the communication tower is gonna get torn off at the first sign of a windstorm, but who needs deflector shield generator domes anyways? That was a trick question, you gotta have those deflector shield generator domes or you're a sitting duck. And not Donald or Daffy either, I'm talking a really hideous one. You know that story about the ugly duckling that turns into a swan? Like 4X as fug. Plus -- PLUS -- you're not turning into a swan, just a REALLY ugly adult duck.

Integrating safety requires attention to cyber security issues as well
Safety instrumented systems (SIS) demand integrator skills significantly more advanced than those required for the usual PLC project. A system integrator must be able to deliver a system proven to meet client requirements for the safety integrity level (SIL) of each safety instrumented function (SIF).
Safety instrumented systems (SIS) demand integrator skills significantly more advanced than those required for the usual PLC project. A system integrator must be able to deliver a system proven to meet client requirements for the safety integrity level (SIL) of each safety instrumented function (SIF). The integrator must also demonstrate the competency and qualifications to do SIS work.
The expertise required can extend far beyond just knowing how to program a SIS. For example, most safety systems need to have their communications functions integrated into the DCS communications infrastructure safely and securely. To do this, a system integrator must have the competency to configure and deploy the communications capabilities of the SIS and DCS.
Many integrators have some experience in this area because past projects have required them to set up communications to other intelligent systems at both the PLC level and the HMI level. Open standards like OPC Classic make it possible for integrators to work with a standard protocol that gives them greater flexibility. However, implementing via standards always involves certain risks.
Today's projects also require system integrators to harden the communications integration by providing highly secure and robust systems. Cyber security is increasingly critical for maintaining control and safety integrity and for ensuring both communications security and integrity. Without it an integrator could deliver a system that could potentially experience a loss of view, or, worse, a loss of real-time data between the SIS and the DCS they are integrating. Meeting this challenge requires systems integrators to leverage the cyber security features of SIS and DCS, develop new tools, and develop new skill sets.
Leveraging cyber security features
In some cases, the systems integrator must work with the systems that are in place; in others, they might be involved in the selection of such systems. Systems must have communications and security solutions that are flexible enough to collaborate with a variety of third-party DCSs and easy enough to deploy so that the integrator can deliver the safety functions the client needs. It is also important that SIS functions are partitioned appropriately from the DCS functions so that a loss of communications or integrity will not prevent the safety system from performing its designed function, which is to keep the processes that require protection in a safe state.
Some SIS systems also self-police communications access. In one case, Invensys Operations Management (www.iom.invensys.com) collaborated with Byres Security (www.tofinosecurity.com), a cyber security firm, to add an OPC firewall to its Tricon Communications Modules (TCM). The firewall enabled a layer of defense-in-depth that lets systems integrators enjoy the flexibility and integration benefit of OPC Classic without worrying about security systems that have in the past been associated with DCOM-based systems.
"Past plant shutdowns, for example, haven't been caused by hackers. Instead they were the result of badly configured software causing traffic storms that impacted critical controllers and other systems," said Eric Byres, security expert and technical officer at Byres Security. "A reliable OPC firewall means that in addition to blocking hackers and viruses from accessing the safety system, integrators can deliver dynamic port management and built-in traffic-rate controls to prevent many basic network problems from spreading throughout a plant."
The right tools
Sometimes meeting a client's needs requires developing tools to augment vendor-supplied functionality. For example, Trinity Systems, a U.K.-based system integration firm experienced in safety systems integration, developed a remote viewer that takes advantage of the communications security features of the Triconex TCM and Triconex Firewall. The viewer allows the end user to have a simple and reasonably priced window into the SIS from the business or primary control networks, while the Triconex Tofino Firewall and the Triconex Communication Module's on-board User Access Security Model ensures that it is a read-only window that can never impact the safety functionality. This combination of OPC-based accessibility with true defense-in-depth security lets Trinity provide cost-effective and secure access that would not have been possible even a year ago.
"Processors and manufacturers are continuously threatened by new and increasingly dangerous cyber attacks, which requires greater vigilance and security," said Joe Scalia, portfolio architect, Invensys Operations Management. "An OPC firewall mitigates those risks by managing the traffic to and from the communications module, providing further assurance that a cyber incursion will not compromise integrated communications between the safety and critical control systems and supervisory HMI or distributed control systems."
The right skills
Implementing the HMI portions of a safety system competently is also critical to securing communications between the SIS and the DCS. Communications integrity, including cybersecurity, must be ensured so that safety-based actions such as reads from the HMI to the safety system can be executed securely and without interruption.
Systems integrators today must be adept at securing transmission of controller real-time data and standard operating environment information as well as at adjusting control strategy parameters online, with full sensitivity to other system-based activities such as bypass management, SIL monitoring, safety alarm annunciation, and remote system diagnostics. In all of these, guaranteed viability of the communications capabilities ensures no loss of view or loss of data for the user.
More manufacturers seek to reduce costs by integrating safety and control systems. Opportunities abound for systems integrators who can meet these needs. Those who understand the cyber security features of control and safety systems, who develop tools to improve this integration, and who develop the right visualization and interoperability management competencies, will deliver their clients reliable and secure safety systems for the least cost.

A vacation rental car can be fun, but make sure you know what you're getting into.
Holiday travel is always hectic, especially when you fly to your destination and rent a car. By the time you wait in line, get to the rental counter and deal with all the up-sells – for a bigger model, GPS, gas plan and added "protection" options – you just want to get in that car and get going.
But first you need to inspect the vehicle. Anyone who's rented before knows the drill. You walk around the car and fill out the little form to show where you found dings, dents or other damage.
Herb Weisbaum
Don't drive too far on tires that look like this.
Here's a tip based on personal experience: Check the tires. I was on vacation in Hawaii last week and the rental car I drove off in had four bad tires. The treads were all chewed up. I could actually grab sections of the tread and pull them away from the rest of the tire.
This car should never have been on the road. I should never have taken off without checking the tires. You just assume they're OK.
The only reason I looked at them – at the hotel – was because the car made a funny sound that didn't seem like normal road noise. (I called the company and they brought out another vehicle.)
You should also take the time to check inside the car. Look for damage to the seats or serious carpet stains. If you don't note that on the form before you head off, the rental company could try to ding you for it when you return the car.
In Hawaii, Budget has you sign a form that says you can be charged a cleaning fee (from $75 to $175) if the interior is considered dirty. This includes everything from stains caused by food, beverages or suntan lotion to melted candy and pet hair.
That same cleaning fee can also apply if the car's interior has "excessive/heavy sand on carpet" which is defined as "any sand not contained to the rubber floor mats."
To protect myself, I now use the camera on my cell phone to document damage. I still mark the paperwork, but I also take pictures or video of anything that really stands out. Because a digital camera has a time and date stamp, it's easy to prove when the photos were taken.

How to Use the Online Examination Scheduling Service
Effective November 13, 2012 the California Department of Insurance (CDI) now requires California resident applicants to first pass the qualifying license examination prior to submitting their license application.
This change affects California residents applying for any license in which an examination is required (i.e., life, accident and health, property, casualty, personal lines, limited lines automobile, and life limited to funeral and burial expenses). CDI's online application service Fast Licensing Application Service is Here (FLASH) now requires applicants to enter a unique 12-digit identification number which is located on the upper left corner of the passed examination letter. FLASH only allows the application to be submitted if the applicant enters the correct identification number and has passed the examination, not just scheduled the examination. Consequently, for an application to be accepted, the applicant's identification number entered must be identical to the identification number that is stated on the passed examination letter.
The identification number consists of the applicant's last four digits of his or her social security number (e.g., 7777), followed by the two-digit birth month (e.g., 01), followed by the two-digit birth day (e.g., 02), and finally, the four-digit birth year (e.g., 1963). In this example, the 12-digit identification number would be 777701021963. The online application service will only allow the application to be submitted if the identification number is correct and you passed your license examination.
First Schedule Your License Examination
PSI Services, LLC, a California-based company providing state-based regulatory licensure services, handles the scheduling of examinations for individuals licensed by the California Department of Insurance's (CDI) Producer Licensing Bureau. Instructions for scheduling examinations are posted on PSI's Examination Scheduling Service. Individuals may schedule their examinations with PSI either online or by telephone.
On the day of the examination, you should arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled examination.This extra time is for sign-in and identification verification. If you arrive late, you will not be admitted to the examination site and you will forfeit your examination registration fee.Although in the past CDI had allowed you to sign a time waiver the time waiver is no longer allowed.
Beware!! Cheating is a crime . . .
Willfully cheating or subverting a license examination is punishable by a fine not to exceed $10,000 or imprisonment not to exceed one year per Section 1681.5(b) of the California Insurance Code.
FLASH Online Application
New Applicants
After passing the license examination, completing the Fast Licensing Application Licensing Service is Here (FLASH) online application service. The applicant will receive an e-mail from the CDI confirming receipt of the application. If you are not required to pass a qualifying license examination, California non-resident and other license applicants are to press the "NEXT" button to complete and submit the Fast Licensing Application Service is Here (FLASH) application.
Your Social Security Number and last name are mandatory fields. Your Social Security Number is necessary to access your file within the California Department of Insurance's database. The database is a secure site and all information transferred is encrypted. For further information regarding our privacy policies and personal information, please read our Privacy Policy.

Mail-In Application
If you are a California resident applicant and you are required to pass a qualifying license examination, you must first pass the license examination.

The completed application must be sent to the following address:

Rescheduling Examination Date
1) Rescheduling for a new date, time and location - You may cancel and reschedule an examination appointment without forfeiting your fee if the schedule examination is canceled at least 48 hours before the scheduled examination date. Previously, there was a 24 hour cancellation allowance. However, the cancellation time allowance is now 48 hours. For example, for a Monday appointment scheduled for 8 a.m., the cancellation needs to be submitted on the previous Saturday before 4 p.m. Examinations that need to be scheduled must use PSI's scheduling service, or you may call PSI at (800) 733-9267 to speak with a Customer Service Representative. Please note that you may also use PSI's automated system, using a touch-tone phone, 24 hours a day in order to cancel and reschedule your appointment.
Note: A voice mail message or email is not an acceptable form of cancellation. Please use the Internet, PSI's automated telephone system (IVR), or call PSI and speak to a Customer Service Representative.
2) Rescheduling due to failing to appear at the examination site - Aan applicant who fails to appear at the examination site on the scheduled examination date must use PSI's Examination Scheduling Service to reschedule an examination at CDI's examination sites or PSI's test centers. Under these circumstances, a rescheduling examination fee will be charged.
Failed Examination
An applicant who fails the examination on the scheduled examination date must use the PSI's Examination Scheduling Service to reschedule an examination at CDI's examination sites or PSI's test centers. Under these circumstances, a rescheduling examination fee will be charged.

Spring in the watershed
The Town of Waynesville's annual spring pilgrimage to the Waynesville Watershed will be Saturday, April 24. This one will be set up similar to last fall's event with an early morning birding option. Those who want to look for early Neotropical migrants and lingering winter visitors should meet at the treatment plant at 7 a.m. For directions and details regarding the trip, please go to www.egovlink.com/waynesville/action.asp?actionid=9348.
Spring migrants are arriving across Western North Carolina. Blue-headed vireos have been in my yard for a couple of weeks now. On a quick trip up around Harmon's Den last week, Bob Olthoff and I heard black-throated green warbler and Louisiana waterthrush, as well as blue-headed vireo. Brown creepers have also been singing in my yard. I hope we at least get to hear a couple on the 24th – it's a really cool, musical little ditty.
Other reports from across the mountains of Western North Carolina include northern parulas, black-and-white-warblers, black-throated blue warblers and returning broad-winged hawks. By the 24th of April, we should be able to add scarlet tanager and rose-breasted grosbeak to the list. And one never knows what the reservoir itself might produce. While it's nowhere near as productive as Lake Junaluska with regards to migrants, waterfowl do find it occasionally and there is generally a belted kingfisher present. We were treated one spring to a brief flyover by an immature bald eagle.
By 9 a.m. birders will be back at the treatment plant and have the option of joining in the day hike or heading for coffee and beignets (I guess that would be doughnuts in this part of the world, what a shame.) Day hikers will split into two groups. I will lead the ambling, looking, listening and sniffing group. We will keep our eyes and ears open for birds, wildlife and spring ephemerals.
The wildflowers should be poppin.' I have bloodroot, toothwort, trout lily and various violets blooming in the woods around my house now. Other spring wildflowers we could encounter include trailing arbutus, Dutchman's breeches, squirrel corn, trillium, bellwort, anemone and showy orchis.
Dr. Pete Bates of Western North Carolina University, who has headed a team of scientists and natural resource managers to create a management plan for the Waynesville watershed, will lead the robo-walkers. Pete, who is much more learned and accomplished than I, actually has the ability to walk and talk at the same time. This is a great hike for those who want to stretch their legs as well as their understanding of the ecology of the watershed.
The worst thing that could happen is that you get the opportunity to enjoy a spring morning outdoors, in the middle of this outstanding natural resource that Waynesville town fathers had the foresight to preserve, protect and enhance in perpetuity.

The depth and complexity that mark the spectacular 2009 growing season are fully on display in this wine, with head-turning aromatics of black currant, raspberry, cherry, plum and violet leaping out of the glass before revealing subtler notes of cola, cinnamon, clove, espresso, cocoa and anise. On the palate, the tannins are large, yet velvety, supporting voluptuous layers of blackberry pie, boysenberry, Bing cherry, bramble, cassis, rum raisin and baking spices. Oak-inspired notes of caramelized brown sugar and molasses add additional nuance, while leading to a plush, lingering finish.
Though rainfall was little more than two-thirds of normal for the third year in a row, the timing of the precipitation was on the vines' side, as late spring rains delayed irrigation needs. June, July and August were cool, but September was quite warm, which helped the fruit reach complete maturity. A large storm hit in mid-October, but all of our grapes were harvested before the rains. Overall, an ideal growing season on Pritchard Hill.

Workplace Suicides Surge 28 Percent
August 20, 2009 11:40 am | by Sam Hananel, Associated Press WriterWASHINGTON (AP) — Workplace suicides surged 28 percent last year, the Labor Department said Thursday, as experts said anxious workers watched colleagues depart in a rash of layoffs and faced survivor's guilt. At the same time, the agency's Bureau of Labor Statistics said the total number of workers who died on the job from any cause fell by 10 percent.
Cash For Clunkers To End Monday
August 20, 2009 11:32 am | by Stephen Manning, AP Business WriterWASHINGTON (AP) — It's revived business at car dealerships, taken gas-guzzlers off the road and given a badly needed boost to struggling auto factories. By many measures, the government's Cash for Clunkers program has been a success. Yet as it winds down, there is another lasting image: the hasty planning and troubled execution that nearly derailed the program early on and, lately, has led some frustrated dealers to drop out amid long waits for the government money.

August 19, 2009 9:39 am | by Dan Strumpf, AP Auto WriterNEW YORK (AP) — Hundreds of auto dealers in the New York area have withdrawn from the government's Cash for Clunkers program, citing delays in getting reimbursed by the government, a dealership group said Wednesday. The Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association, which represents dealerships in the New York metro area, said about half its 425 members have left the program because they cannot afford to offer more rebates.
Deere Down 27 Percent
August 19, 2009 5:11 am | by Daniel Lovering, AP Manufacturing WriterDeere & Co. posted a 27 percent decline in third-quarter profit Wednesday as the slumping global economy continued to depress sales of its tractors, bulldozers and other products. But the results easily beat Wall Street expectations. The world's largest maker of farm equipment said it expected the biggest single-year sales drop in at least 50 years in 2009, but reiterated an annual profit forecast of $1.

'Flowers For Clunkers'? No Joke For IL Florist
August 19, 2009 4:02 am | by Michael Tarm, Associated Press WriterCHICAGO, Ill. (AP) — The government is giving cash for clunkers. It isn't sending flowers.
