In a scene straight out of, say, 2003, actress (?) Tara Reid was seen partying in Miami over the weekend, swilling around LIV and Mondrian and then here at the Hibiscus Island sprawl of credit card machine mogul George Wallner. All that was missing was Paris Hilton, who was, uh, previously committed. According to a fellow party goer, Reid, who looks pretty good for such a hardcore party girl, had just broken up with her boyfriend and was celebrating. "She almost completely lost her voice," said our very vocal source. Maybe it's at the lost and found along with her career?

Gary Null's Friendly Fiber Formula - 1 lb. (450 Grams)
Gary Null's Friendly Fiber Formula is a synergistic blend of multiple varieties of good fiber which are on important component of a healthy diet. Of all the fibers, Gary Null believes that there is no one that stands out. Instead, he has created a unique product with the emphasis on synergy, combining both soluble and non soluble fiber from fruits and grains. And Friendly Fiber Formula contains recolonizing bacteria from FOS to make this the Rolls Royce of fiber products.
Dietary fiber, found in the walls of plant cells, cannot be digested by enzymes in the human digestive tract but plays an essential role in human health. It is found in all plant-based foods, with most whole foods containing a combination of the two types of fiber -- soluble and insoluble. Psyllium husk, pectin, and the soft parts of fruits and dried beans and peas are examples of soluble fiber. Insoluble fiber can be found in the peel of fruit, such as apples and grapes. Both types of fiber help maintain the health of the intestinal tract and promote regular elimination of stool. Dietary fiber has been shown to play a role in the treatment of conditions such as gastrointestinal disease, constipation, hemorrhoids, high cholesterol, heart disease, and diabetes.
Friendly Fiber Formula is a high fiber, low calorie food that fills you up naturally. For Best Results, do not eat any food except Gary's Friendly Fiber at least 3 hours prior to bedtime.
Time magazine called him "The New Mr. Natural." My Generation magazine dubbed him one of the top health gurus in the United States. For over 35 years, Gary Null has been one of the foremost voices of the health movement.
Through his New York Times Bestselling books, documentaries, and daily radio show Gary has continued to be a strong voice for the consumer, standing up against big pharmaceutical corporations. Gary has also exposed the massive drugging of children in our schools, the medicinal abuse of seniors, and the unnecessary and overuse of X-Rays. In addition, he has conducted original investigative reports on the suppression of alternative therapies. He has also challenged the diseases produced by an unhealthy diet. In this regard he has publicly debated spokespersons for the meat, dairy, and sugar industries. Additionally, he has investigated industries such as pesticides, herbicides, artificial sweeteners, food irradiation, water fluoridation, mercury in dental fillings, unsafe ingredients in vaccines, the connection between autism and vaccines, Gulf War Syndrome, the pathologizing of African Americans by Psychiatry, Iatrogenesis (medically induced injury or death) medicines assault against women's bodies and health – including the dangers or synthetic hormone replacement therapy and overuse of mammography, the limitations and dangers of orthodox treatments for cancer, heart disease, mental issues, AIDS and arthritis, the adulteration of the American diet, the degradation of our environment, politics of our healthcare system including the FDA, the CDC and the AMA, Corporate control of real science, exploiting fears for profit – plus hundreds of other topics. In short Gary's entire adult life has been spent fighting for a better way for all of us to live. He has the longest running health radio program in American history. He broadcasts 15 hours live per week.
On weekdays he hosts The Gary Null Show, an on-air health forum where Gary and other leading experts discuss a wide range of matters from food production and alternative healing, including the politics of our healthcare system. Gary uses well-researched scientific information to support his points of view. Gary also does original investigative reporting series on a regular basis on such themes as Gulf War Syndrome: Killing Our Own, The Politics of AIDS, Poverty Inc., Autism: Made in the U.S.A. and over 100 original investigative reporting articles.
For more than 35 years Gary has had weekly programs on Pacifica radio stations KPFK, WPFW and WBAI. He also had his own very popular weekly program on WABC as well as ABC national radio. Additionally Gary has had more than 25 separate special programs presented on various Public Television Stations.
Gary Null lives in New York City.

1. DE (early rounds) We have 6 sacks. Clearly we need a premium pass rusher. There are some tall, athletic guys in the draft (e.g., Michael Johnson, Brian Orapko.) Let's get the right one. That is, someone who is going to come in and actually shine in his first year on the Chiefs defensive line. (Unlike Dorsey, McBride, Tyler, Johnston.) Mmmmm…… My crystal ball sees us starting McBride and Hali again next year and rotating this guy in on passing downs.
2. LB (early rounds) This is our weakest position on the team. We need two new starters to complement Derrick Johnson (a serviceable player who is never going to be "The Man".) One of the top LBs in the mock drafts – James Laurinaitis or Rey Maualuga – would be a great addition. Lucking out with a mid-round pick at LB as well would be even better!
3. QB (early-to-mid rounds) We need competition at QB. Competition for the starting position, at least nominal competition. Plus depth; Huard, Croyle, or both are out of here.
4. OT (early-to-mid rounds) We need a replacement on the right side of our offensive line. Either tackle or guard. They are both bad, but McIntosh costs more than Jones so a new right tackle sounds good.
5. OG (early-to-mid rounds) See above.
6. WR (mid-to-late rounds) Bradley is a serviceable 2nd or 3rd wide receiver. Finding a deep threat to complement Bowe and push Bradley/Franklin for serious playing time sounds fantastic. However, it is highly unlikely this late in the draft. Nevertheless, we can dream. Okay, let's be realistic: a 4th or 5th WR who makes a noticeable dent on special teams.
7. RB (mid-to-late rounds) The Larry Johnson Era is coming toward an end. Really, we need special teams help.
7. LB (mid-to-late rounds) Our weakest position. Our defense is worse than our offense. Our special teams are really really bad. A linebacker would help all of that.
Really, I'd like to see us trade down for a mid-1st round pick, and gain a 2nd and a 4th in the process.
Free agent signings
New starters
Yes: DE (replacing Hali)
Yes: LB (replacing Thomas, MLB)
Yes: LB (replacing Edwards, OLB)
Maybe: OT (replacing McIntosh)
Or: OG (replacing Jones)
5 of 22
Youth development (after this season)
6 in defensive backfield:
Flowers 2nd season
Carr 2nd season
Leggett 2nd season
Morgan 2nd season
Pollard 4th season
Page 4th season
5 on defensive line:
Dorsey 2nd season
Johnston 2nd season
Tyler 3rd season
McBride 3rd season
Hali 4th season
5 at offensive "skill" positions:
Charles 2nd season
Cottam 2nd season
Franklin 2nd season
Bowe 3rd season
Tyler 3rd season
5 at offensive blocking positions:
Albert 2nd season
Cox 2nd season
Richardson 2nd season
Taylor 3rd season
Niswanger 4th season
Plus 6 or 7 draft picks from the class of 2009 that will make the team.
That's at least 27 players in seasons 1 through 4. More than one-half of the team!
Shooting for .500 next year is a lofty target. Maybe five or six wins next year are realistic. In 2010, anything is possible. We have so many darn rookies (and 2nd, 3rd year players) this year, players who have a lot of potential (as well as some question-marks), that projecting beyond next year is pretty tricky. God bless parity in the NFL.

BARTON — The harness racing program at the Orleans County Fair will be dedicated this year to Stanwood "Doc" Churchill of Orleans, who died on June 11.
"He was an avid racer in his time and avidly supported the program, along with his family," said Pamela Tetreault of Lowell, who is doing promotional and other work for the fair this year. Her husband, Mike Tetreault, is president of the fair association.
Dr. Churchill, a veterinarian, bought his first standardbred in 1960. For the next 36 years, he bred, raised, and raced. He was also a stockholder and director of the fair.

Garrison Keillor's in love with poetry, and he wants you to be in love, too.
Keillor, owner of St. Paul's Common Good Books, is celebrating Valentine's Day by announcing "Love Letters," the second annual Common Good Books poetry contest. Everyone in the U.S. is invited to craft a paean to a favorite person, place or thing and mail the love letter to the bookstore before April 15.
"Proclaiming one's love is the great test of a poet, to put irony and satire aside and the great everlasting litany of complaint and to put your heart on the line," Keillor said in his announcement. "That is where you reveal yourself as a human being. It's not for the timid."
First prize will be $1,000, with $250 prizes for four runners-up. Finalists will be announced April 20 and winners will be announced during a free celebration of poetry at 1:30 p.m. April 27 in the Macalester College chapel, 1600 Grand Ave. in St. Paul, hosted by Keillor.
Contest judges will be Keillor, whose new collection is "O, What a Luxury: Verses Lyrical, Vulgar, Pathetic & Profound," joined by Minnesotans Tom Hennen, author of "Darkness Sticks to Everything: Collected and New Poems," and Patricia Hampl, award-winning memoirist whose poetry collections are "Woman Before an Aquarium" and "Resort and Other Poems."
David Enyeart, Common Good Books' assistant manager, said Keillor wants people to try writing poetry even if they've never done so. Aspiring poets can go to commongoodbooks.tumblr.com/advice until April 15 for tips on how to win at writing about love from some of our country's best poets, including Tony Hoagland, Jim Moore, Stephen Burt and Jeff Shotts, award-winning poetry editor at Minneapolis-based Graywolf Press.
Each entry must be a single poem that declares love for a specific person, being, object or place (something tangible); be unpublished anywhere; and the author must have full rights to the material. One entry is allowed per person, mailed to Common Good Books (38 S. Snelling Ave., St. Paul, 55105), postmarked no later than April 15 and accompanied by a signed release form available at commongoodbooks.tumblr.com/advice.
Enyeart said last year's contest drew 200 entries "and we hope we're swamped this year with love letters from all over the country."

vacation rental description
In Barnstead, NH, Located in Private Locke Lake Colony, in the midst of New Hampshire's Lakes Region, on cozy grounds and hidden among the trees you will find your peaceful and private retreat. Relax, unwind, and enjoy yourself in our brand new 3-bedroom home. Plan your day's activities over a hearty breakfast. The fully complemented kitchen has a refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, and even coffee. If on Sunday you want to leave the cooking to someone else, there are some great area breakfast places.
Which onsite activity should you choose? Swimming at one of the two pools (lifeguards on duty), horsing around at the playground, relaxing on one of the eight sandy beaches near the house, playing some tennis, golfing a few rounds, or maybe taking the canoe out for some fishing or site seeing. Whether you decide to try one or all of the activities, we provide the passes and the equipment that you will need. (Fishing requires a NH license)
If you venture outside of the colony, the list of things to do is almost endless; Skiing at Gunstock, NASCAR Races at NH Speedway, Shopping in Historic Wolfeboro, Cruises on Lake Winnipesaukee (Alton Bay), Hiking at Mount Major, apple picking at one of the nearby farms, and much more. Back at the house, listen to some music, enjoy the surroundings from the deck, or if you are hungry fire up the gas barbeque grill.
Are you tired yet? If not, then head on downstairs to the game room. Pool, foosball, darts, Play Station, and plenty of board games await you. If you can't get the kids, big or small, to come back up, there is futon that converts to both a full and twin bed. If you still have a little energy left, turn on the big screen, pop in one of the DVDs in our collection, grab some popcorn from the cupboards, and enjoy the show. Finally, if you are tired, enjoy a soothing Jacuzzi bath followed by some quality time relaxing by a warm fire.
When it is time to turn in, lie back on the fresh linens and listen to the soothing sounds of the stream behind the house. The master bedroom has a queen bed, warm comforter, lots of closet space, and a clock radio to make sure you get up in time for another fun filled day.

May 22, 2007
Albany - People who live in one Northwest Albany neighborhood say a nightclub has made their nights sleepless. Boxers opened about a year ago, and since then, neighbors of the club say the noise has gotten out of control. Dozens of complaints have been made, now they are taking those complaints straight to city commissioners.
Rick McDaniel has lived on Watergate in Northwest Albany for more than a decade. "It's been a nice quiet neighborhood for as long as I've been there," he said.
That is until about a year ago when Boxers moved into the neighborhood. "The boom boxes and the shaking of the windows and everything is out of hand," said McDaniel.
In less than a year, there have been more than 200 calls to the location, 31 for loud music. McDaniel says he's made some of the calls about the noise himself, but says it continues to be a problem. He said, "We're ready for some action to be taken."
Noise is just one of the problems folks in the Lake Park neighborhood are concerned about. They're also worried about fights, thefts, drugs, even an aggravated assault that took place there.
Boxers' attorney Jerry Brimberry says he believes someone is bent on shutting down the business. "I think there are one or two people determined to put her out of business for whatever reason," said Brimberry.
He says owner Darlene Slaymaker has hired off-duty police officers for weekend nights and has even staffed bathrooms to make sure there's no drug activity in the club. "I believe she's leaning over backward to do everything she can to comply with the law," said Brimberry.
But McDaniel says the law is all he's concerned with. He's not trying to shut down anyone. "I'm not so much concerned with them closing Boxers," he said. "I want them to enforce the ordinance that the city has in place." And Boxers can stay in place, too, so long as they keep things turned down.

Ok today's game was a DISASTER!!!!! Fitzy was horrible, missing throws that could have actually kept us in the game. On a few occasions we had WR's that were open for big gains, and Fitzy TOTALLY missed the passes. I know I've been a Fitzy supporter in the past, and I still like the guy, but I'm officially handing in my Fitzy supporter card. WE NEED TO DRAFT A NEW QB THIS YEAR!!!!!
I'm also pretty much done with Gailey/Wannsteadt. Yeah sure there is still time to turn this year around, but considering Chan's track record there's not an once of me that believes that's going to happen. I think Chan and Wanny need to go at the end of this season.
With that said, I still have faith in Buddy Nix. The guy has done a fantastic job of finding and upgrading the talent on this team, and I truly believe that the problem is the coaching. I just hope that Buddy see's that too. BUT I reserve the right to change that opinion if the Bills do not draft an true franchise QB in the 2013 draft. If Buddy can't see that Fitzy is not the answer, then he should be replaced along with the coaching staff.
As for what QB we should draft? I have no idea, I don't watch college football, and I have no idea who's coming out this year. I'll leave that information to JP, as he's the man when it comes to evaluating upcoming talent.
But is it too early to start talking about new coaches? I DON'T THINK SO!!!! I have 2 names for you that I think would make great head coaches in Buffalo.
The first? Mark Trestman
Currently the HC of the Montreal Allouettes in the CFL, the man is an offensive/QB guru that also knows how to bring in the right coordinators to do that work for him. He's won 2 championships and has appeared in 4 straight championship games as the HC of the Allouettes.
He was discussed back when we hired Gailey but apparently turned down the opportunity because he felt he wasn't ready to make the jump to becoming an HC in the NFL. But 3 seasons later? MUCH HAS CHANGED. his star QB is finally set to retire at the end of the season and the Allouettes are starting to look their age in the CFL.
If the bills are to draft early again in the up coming draft I would say that it would be the perfect opportunity for him to make the jump, draft his guy at QB and hopefully do to the Bills what Marv Levy did some 25 years ago when jumping over from the exact same position.
As for the second?.... brace yourselves... ROB RYAN!
I fully expect to get some heat from this, but I don't care. This guy is a defensive genius, who may actually be better than his brother. And while he still is a Ryan (and we all know what that means) he does seem to have a cooler head than his twin... although that just may be because of his position as a DC.
He's another guy who said that he's waiting for the right opportunity to make the jump to HC, and the Bills have plenty of the type of talent that he uses in Dallas right here in Buffalo. Plus, and let's be honest here, we'd all love to see what media trainwrecks would happen if the twins were to face each other twice per year as head coaches. I know that the Jets games would b e circled on my calenders!
I honestly do think that Rob may be a better, (slightly) more humble version of Rex and I for one would LOVE to see what he could do for us if he put his hands on the talent that we have on our D.
In the end though these are just the first two guys that came to my mind. And in reality, I just want to see POSITIVE change. Hey, do you guys think that we could coax The Chin out of retirement this time around?

Elizabeth Cady Stanton (November 12, 1815 – October 26, 1902) was an American social activist, abolitionist, and leading figure of the early women's rights movement along with Susan B. Anthony. Her Declaration of Sentiments, presented at the first women's rights convention held in 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York, is often credited with initiating the first organized women's rights and women's suffrage movements in the United States.[1]

The Murder of Radio Legend Steven B. Williams
Harvey Stephen Morrow
This had devastating consequences for anyone close who entered Morrow's orbit.
In the 1980s, he helped run a boiler room operation in Florida where bad stocks were sold to investors. The U.S. Attorney's Office eventually caught wind of this and charged the company officers with corruption. Everyone was caught except Morrow, who kept out of sight for years, until the statute of limitations expired and he was home free, Clark said.
A thinly veiled account of Morrow was depicted in the 1987 novel The Halloween Ball, Clark said. In the book, a materialistic drug dealer named Joel Harlowe lived a fast-paced life with tragic consequences.
Morrow surfaced in Colorado, where he married lawyer Deborah Read and had children. The couple had a huge house, matching Mercedes Benzes, nine motorcycles, and great clothes. Everyone was told that Morrow was an investment banker with an Englewood brokerage firm, but he was actually only a human resources officer, The Denver Post reported in 2006.
When Read filed for divorce, Morrow set fire to one of her dresses. He was convicted of misdemeanor arson in 1996, the Post reported. Morrow moved to Texas and remarried in 2000 to someone with a similar name — Debbie. He lived in a luxurious lakeside home, Read told the Post.
In 2003, he ended up in Los Angeles portraying himself as a retired Wall Street executive, said Clark. Debbie often worked out of state and the pair didn't always live together.
"People who didn't know him thought he was worth between $12 and $30 million," Clark said. "But for the people who do have money and meet him, within the first five minutes they know he is full of b.s."

Town Square
Modernist building gets approval, mixed reception

2 residential units, 4,800 sq feet of office space, but only 21 parking space, and they have the gall to "laud" the developer? This city is crazy. That building will need to park at least 40 cars a day, so a net negative of ~20 spots when parking is already a terrible problem. Randy Popp must be doing everyday math to think that 21 spots is a "solution."

Buildings with side windows stuck up against each other, go do a street view of this to see how ugly this is. If there was some setback it's not a bad building, it is just stuck in the middle of what look like houses and apartments ... leading the way to the San Francisco-ation of Palo Alto. Why doesn't our city council quit and go try to live in San Francisco where they seem to really want to be?

> The board, however, generally agreed that after three public hearings and repeated modifications, it's time to move the project ahead.
NO ... it's time to fire the Architectural Review Board - and the City Council.

We never though the day when a Chinese car brand would sue an automaker from another country over trademark-related business would come, but it seems that this is exactly the case with Qoros, which has filled a lawsuit against Kia.
The Chinese brand, which has recently announced its European market entry for next year, has sued Kia, aiming to prevent it from using the Quoris name that was planned for the European version of the K9.
A District Court in Hamburg, Germany, has recently granted a preliminary injunction to keep the South Korean carmaker from using the designation for its vehicle, as the authorities believe that customers could be confused if both names were used.
"We are pleased with the decision of the court as we succeeded in our first step towards protecting our brand name. We look forward to the first public debut of our vehicles at both the Geneva and the Shanghai auto show in 2013,†Qoros vice chairman Volker Steinwascher said.

Report message to a moderator
According to the UML specification (2.5 b1 pag. 377)
A transition may be one of these three kinds:
Implies that the Transition, if triggered, occurs without exiting or entering the source State (i.e., it does not cause a state change). This means that the entry or exit condition of the source State will not be invoked. An internal Transition can be taken even if the SateMachine is in one or more Regions nested within the associated State.
Implies that the Transition, if triggered, will not exit the composite (source) State, but it will exit and re-enter any state within the composite State that is in the current state configuration.
Implies that the Transition, if triggered, will exit the composite (source) State.
As far as I understand, the internal basically implies the execution of an Action within the source state when certain condition occurs. Am I right?
the external is the transition that actually corresponds to a change from the source state to the target state.
I can't really see the meaning of the local transition explanation. May someone please provide a simple example helping me to get it?
Hi Marc-Florian and Klaas,
I posted the same question here so that you can see the pictures of two state machines and tell me whether I have understood it or not.
thank you very much!

With Christmas just two days away, many consider this to be the busiest shopping weekend of the year.
Plenty of signs point to that being the case at the Eastfield Mall.
Management told CBS 3 that foot traffic is much higher than they had seen in recent years, and several stores barely had time to restock their shelves.
They said shoppers appear ready to spend money this holiday season.
"They are tired of all of the negativity with the financial situation," said Melinda Graulau, general manager of the Eastfield Mall.

NiMH Today
by joelado, Sun May 13, 2007 at 07:09:31 AM EDT
In 1980 Stanford Ovshinsky patented a battery that was supposed to revolutionize the world. A battery that he knew could take almost unlimited charges and discharges, a battery that held far more energy at half the weight of lead acid batteries, a battery whose thermal properties were balanced with metals that combine endothermic and exothermic reactions to prevent thermal runaway, which is an explosive reaction common to the first iterations of lithium-ion batteries. Twenty seven years later those batteries are just beginning to have the impact they promised a quarter of a century ago.
NIMH batteries have grown in their use since the mid 1900s in small designations such as AAA, C and D sized typically designed for use in the home. In the early years of camcorders and laptops NIMH were the battery of choice. Ten years ago when the first modern hybrids were being designed and EVs were being readied for California's markets NIMH batteries were looked upon as the way to an electrified transportation future. At that point advancements in large format NIMH batteries seemed to have stopped at Ovonics. The electric vehicles (EVs) of the Zero Emissions Mandate that finally used the Ovshinsky batteries did well with ranges typically of 130 to 180 miles.
The small cell NIMHs kept seeing improvements over the years. Today NIMH small cells have improved in energy density by 80% and are 30% lighter than the batteries of ten years ago. The improvements made to NIMH chemistry was never incorporated into the Zero Emission Mandate EVs. Panasonic began talking about the incorporating its improvements to NIMH EV batteries just after the ZEV mandate was removed, however, Ovonics, now doing business as Cobasys with its GM owned shares now owned by Chevron oil company, prevented Panasonic from making the new and improved large format NIMH batteries.
A NIMH battery made today with these improvements would be a completely different battery than that of the ones installed in electric cars a few years ago. At EDTA I saw the casings for a new NIMH battery. They were 1/4 the size of the old green iron sided ones used in the EV1. They had inlets for liquid thermal management guarantying even longer life and the cases were made of light grey plastic which replaced the heavy steel of the original batteries. These cases were clearly marked on the top Cobasys NIMH. These were just the casing being displayed by the casing manufacturer, but it was a clear indication that the story of NIMH had changed.
Are NIMH batteries as energy dense as lithium-ion batteries? No, but they are a proven commodity. They are known to last, and last, proving themselves in Southern California Edison's fleet of RAV4 EVs. Many going over 100,000 miles and few reaching 150,000 miles on the original battery pack. Since the greatest cost of an EV is in the battery, NIMHs that last the life of the vehicle would be looked upon as just the price of the vehicle, not a separate expense. Lithium-ion batteries are still new in EVs. We don't know what can happen with that technology in the long run. I want them to last as long as the vehicles like NIMH but we won't know that until they have been around in vehicles for a while. Waiting and seeing if lithium-ion batteries will last, will keep GM from making a battery electric vehicle or the hybrid Volt, forever, since they can always claim that they don't know whether the battery will last. NIMHs, we know lasts. The risk to the buyer is lower then with the unproven Lithium-ion battery.
Let us look at what would life be like if the improved versions of NIMH were incorporated into the modern EV. If the RAV4 EV were redesigned to handle these lighter, more energy dense NIMH batteries, one could easily see that the range would be much, much higher. The higher the range is the greater the utility of the electric vehicle. Ranges in the 200 mile area would be likely for RAV4 EVs. You would be hard pressed to find someone who, on a regular basis would need a greater range than that. Coupled with the batteries long life and you can see that the battery the car makers are looking for is already here and it is the NIMH battery.
The price of small format NIMH has come down significantly over the past ten years. The price of an AA NIMH battery where I live has leveled off at to about $2.50 a battery at retail. At that price I have had a hard time purchasing the batteries because they always seem to be sold out. I use HIMH batteries for every battery application in my house. To save money, I purchased a bulk pack of 20 NIMH batteries for 19.98 mail order. They are rated at 2500 mah each. This is a lot better than the batteries I bought about 6 years ago that cost me retail about $10.00 a piece and could hold only 1500 mah. I strongly believe that if NIMH large format batteries were allowed to stay in the marketplace like the AA batteries have, similar increases in energy with a similar decrease in price would have occurred.
If I were to swap out the lead acid batteries that are in my electric vehicle today with NIMH D cell batteries it would cost me around $3,500. Not that far off from what I paid for my Trojans golf cart batteries, which was around $2,000. These D cell batteries would take up half the space and would be far less than half the weight and last the life of my vehicle never needing replacement. A large format NIMH battery would end the supremacy of the lead acid battery in traction applications such as in golf carts, NEVs, floor scrubbers and more. They would simply be a better replacement battery being lighter and lasting much, much longer.
I have had a question in my head for some time now. Why doesn't Ovonics/Cobasys/Chevron make a NIMH battery and go after the indoor electric utility vehicle battery market? You know what I am talking about. At night in large malls and airports there are hundreds of large format battery powered vehicle used for scrubbing floors, transport people, maneuver shopping carts around, electric rolling platforms and cherry pickers, and the list goes on. Here the advantages of NIMH would clearly render the old lead acid batteries obsolete. It is a market that exists, is large, with managers always looking to reduce their long term costs.
For EV owners, who have grown accustomed to replacing batteries every few years, being able to find NIMH regularly available in large formats would be a welcome change. There even would be a place for NIMH batteries in the starter battery market. People always seem to need to replace their dead lead acid batteries. Why not give the consumer the chance to pay double for a battery that they know will last much, much longer. It always makes me wonder why Ovonics doesn't go after the lead acid battery market. Why not go after a market they know to exist? I know I would buy an NIMH battery to start my gasoline powered car. Wouldn't some of you?
PS. This June 2nd and 3rd the Power of DC demonstration of EVs has been greatly expanded. In the years past we only held an electric vehicle drag race. This year we are holding the drag race again at the Mason Dixon drag way on June the 3rd, and we have added a whole new day to do an automobile autocross. A typical autocross is a series of timed events. It is like auto racing only instead of racing side by side you race against the times of the other competitors. The areas of focus for our event are AutoCross, ScooterCross, Range Rally (8.5 miles), and Show-n-Shine. Go see the link http://www.powerofdc.com.
Because of the greatly expanded event we need money. Not big money. These events are mostly operated by volunteers, but little money. Money for trophies, money for the use of the venues, money to rent equipment needed to maintain human intestinal comfort, banners, literature and more. A small check of $10 to $20 dollars would be very useful and greatly appreciated. Make your check out to EVA/DC putting in the memo line "Power of DC" and send it to:

Couple shares public proposal at Publix
Date: December 2, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Lamarr Glenn always thought proposing over dinner or on a holiday was cliché. Glenn, athletic director at Wekiva High School, in Apopka, and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers fullback, told his girlfriend, Natasha Ford, Publix property representative who manages Avenue of the Flowers, to expect an unorthodox proposal.
"I always told her she'd better be ready," he said.
The couple had known each other since their days at Pine Trail Elementary School, in Ormond Beach. Two years ago, they became a couple. Two months ago, Glenn told Ford's secretary he was ready to pop the question. Her secretary said she would set it up in the perfect spot: Publix Super Market 218, also known as the Longboat Key Publix. The Avenue of the Flowers property was a new property for Ford, so she knew Ford wouldn't cancel a last-minute meeting there. Plus, Ford loves Longboat Key.
But, Ford was irked when Longboat Key Publix Manager Andy Lappin called and told her that District Manager Wendy Smith was calling a meeting two days before Thanksgiving at the Longboat Key store.
"Why would Wendy call a meeting?" Ford asked. "The district managers should have the week off."
Ford arrived at the Longboat Publix around 11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 24, and obliged when Lappin asked her to pose for a picture to give to Smith.
The night before, Lappin had decorated a bench with flowers from the Publix floral department. Ford sat down on the bench and smiled for the camera. She felt someone touch her arm. She didn't see Glenn walk up behind her from the customer-service desk. She screamed when she saw him. He got down on one knee. He took a ring out of his pocket. She cried while Publix staff and shoppers gathered around them, applauding. As the two of them whispered, someone yelled:
"Did you remember to say yes?"
Ford said "yes."
As Longboat Key Publix employees offered congratulations, Vicki Workman, aka "Miss Vicki," joked to Glenn that she was going to step in for Ford had she said no.
The couple celebrated with a Publix vanilla cake with the word "Congratulations" written in brown icing across the top.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – Additional charges have been filed against a man arrested in Texas for a murder in Louisville.
Gerry Lawson was arrested in Dallas on June 26 for the murder of Vernice Aniton. Aniton, 64, was found dead after a fire in her Cypress Street home in the Parkland neighborhood on March 3.
It was originally thought Aniton died from the fire, but an autopsy showed her death occurred before the fire started.
Lawson has now been charged with two counts of arson for intentionally setting fire Aniton's home and because the fire spread to a home next door. Because the neighboring house was occupied at the time, Lawson was charged with a count of wanton endangerment for each of the seven people in that building.
In addition, Lawson was charged with two counts of cruelty to animals because a dog and a cat in Aniton's home died in the fire.
Lawson was returned to Louisville late July 10. He is now being held at Louisville Metro Corrections. He will be arraigned on July 15.

All About Your Free Annual Credit Report
Most people today know that the US government has worked out a deal with the three main credit bureaus of America to every provide an annual credit report for each and every individual with a legitimate social security number.
Originally uploaded by Alec Peden
This is a fantastic thing for everyone. For 1, we can all view our credit reports as soon as a year to make certain everything on it is accurate and that there are no credit card and other loans there that we did not authorize. And if we do find something odd on these reports, we can take suitable actions.
I've personally claimed my three credit reports and am extremely please with the process. Well, technically only two came through simply because 1 of them did not permit me to get it online at the time and I just did not bother with it. The website was easy to use and delivered what uncle Sam promised.
There is 1 thing missing though. The FICO score. This is a numerical number calculated from the information on your credit reports and is just about the first thing possible creditors will appear at when deciding whether you qualify for a loan at a specific interest rate, or your credit worthiness level.
Typically, this is a separate item you can purchase though any of the three main credit bureaus as nicely through a variety of its resellers. Occasionally it comes bundled with other financial products.
So, when you are searching to check your credit history, be certain to get your three credit reports and your FICO score so you can know the whole picture!

If you can rate my credit report. I dont no why my score is low. please advise me where to go from this point. I sm aware that bad credit is not the way to go. Im looking to better my credit score.

NetBeans IDE 6.9 Stabilization Update
NetBeans IDE 6.9 is in the middle of its stabilization phase, so let's take a look at the progress made so far according to the NetBeans community, which plays an important role in the process. Since 2004 every NetBeans release is Beta tested by a group of 60 - 90 volunteers who enjoy playing with the newly developed features in their daily development and providing early feedback. We call it NetCAT. Version 6.9 is no different and here is an excerpt of the latest NetCAT 6.9 status report.
- NetCAT team so far reported >850 defects with stable income of >100 new bugs weekly. NetBeans developers were able to resolve majority of them and only about 40% remains open.
- Quality of Editor significantly influences overall perception of an IDE which logically reflects main focus of NetCAT participants. This team effort for example discovered many regressions introduced by new View Hierarchy code.
- Performance is the second most discussed topic. Whereas startup time benchmarks look good, we must concentrate on slow/unnecessary classpath scanning or slow debugging now. Recently several NetCAT participants reported OutOfMemoryErrors and helped us fix two memory leaks (see #183993).
- There is a wide range of feedback coming in. Some people decided to test brand new OSGi Interoperability, some used Annotation Processors support, others verify online tutorials.
- Beta Quality Criteria were successfully met and NetBeans IDE 6.9 codebase is approaching High Resistance milestone.
Complete NetCAT 6.9 Status Report #5 is publicly available in the web archive.
There are not only good testers in the NetBeans community, though. Some people prefer contributing code and for this kind of individuals there is a NetFIX program. NetFIX 6.9 team consists of 15 developers who simply query NetBeans Bugzilla for sympathetic bugs, fix them locally, and provide patches. Isn't that lovely? For more details read the latest NetFIX 6.9 Status Report.

Recently I tried NB again after many years on Eclipse.
One thing were NB is light years ahead of Eclipse is its Javascript support. We tried developing a jQuery app in Eclipse and it's JS editor is utter crap: exceptions everywhere, even on basic code completion.
The NB code editor worked flawlessly and even displayed properly Javascript comments from jQuery in the code completion popups. I walked away impressed and intent on using NB more in Javascript-oriented projects.
Good job, guys.

One thing that netbeans really lacks is good groovy and grails support. I'd rate its current support of these as poor.
Groovy code completion is bad to fair and it is slooooooooooooow. Its grails support is ok but nothing spectacular.
Take a look at what Aptana is doing in its RadRails v3 release. I don't see why Netbeans can't do the same for grails.
I hope that a soon to be released version of netbeans will address these inadequacies.

Hi, thank you for this great pruduct NB , now i'm working on new PHP Project and develop new framework for online sales, its fully OOP and use MVC structure. I planning change IDE from NB 6.8 to NB 6.9. I already know some issues for NB and interested how can i report for bugs and needful changes to NB team.
for me NB its most like crossplatform IDE for PHP and Qt4 Developer :)
The things which i very hope to see in future versions are
1 ) PHP Profiler (Xdebug support profiler option but it not availible for NB yet)
2 ) Git repositories support for projects
3) And may be but not so important - a todo and task planing like in Zend IDE
thank you again!
Great Job!

Hello Hanine, the update looks more stable than the previous version of the NetBeans. I think the update is a huge success .

I can't believe I didn't buy this sooner! Since moving to laptops 10 years ago or more, I was always stuck going upstairs to the room where the remains of my desktop computing including my old clunky inkjet printer lived when I wanted to print. We initially bought this for everyday printing because …Read More »

@FGCU_Baseball Hosts No. 13 Florida at Hammond Stadium Tuesday
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU baseball team (22-12, 7-2 Atlantic Sun) will host the second of two games at Hammond Stadium, the home of the Fort Myers Miracle and Spring Training home of the Minnesota Twins, on Tuesday, Apr. 15 when the No. 13 Florida Gators (21-12, 7-5 SEC) come to town.
This is the sixth-straight season that the Eagles have hosted at least one game in Hammond Stadium and the pair of games will bring the total number of FGCU games played there to ten. The Green and Blue played three games there during their inaugural season in 2003, returned in 2009 for a game with Florida and have played one game there every year since against either Miami (Fla.) or Florida.
The FGCU baseball team saw a seven-game win streak come to an end in extra innings in the first outing at Hammond Stadium this season when the Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes put up three runs in the top of the 10th after shutting down the Eagles in the bottom of the ninth with runners in scoring position, ultimately winning the game 5-2.
The Eagles have already split a two-game set with the Gators in Gainesville earlier this season. Since losing to Florida on Mar. 1 and falling to 6-7, the Green and Blue have won 16 of 21 games without dropping a series.
Moe's Southwest Grill, Four Points by Sheraton and the Naples/Fort Myers Greyhound Track will serve as the primary sponsors for both events.
Reserved tickets will be $10 and youth reserved for children 12 and under will only cost $7. General admission tickets are available for $7 for adults and $4 for children 12 and under. Tickets can be purchased by calling the FGCU Ticket Office at 239-590-7145 and will be available for pick-up if need be at Hammond Stadium on game day. Tickets will also be sold outside of the stadium by FGCU Ticket Office representatives.
All media and photographer credential requests for the game at Hammond Stadium should be directed to Matt Moretti III (firstname.lastname@example.com). Credentials will be available for pick up at the FGCU ticket tables at Hammond Stadium on the day of the game.
For the first time in program history, the FGCU baseball team will play host to the 2014 Atlantic Sun Baseball Championship set to take place May 21-25 at Swanson Stadium. The top eight teams in the standings at the end of the regular season will advance to the championship and compete in a double-elimination style tournament to determine the A-Sun's automatic qualifier to the NCAA Tournament. The Eagles are three-time A-Sun Regular Season Champions and finished second in the league last season.
Single-game tickets for FGCU Baseball are available at a cost of $6 for adults and $3 for children. Season tickets and tickets to the 2014 Atlantic Sun Championship are also available.
