T Cell-engaging BiTE Antibodies Creates Novel Drug Candidates with
Superior Anti-tumor Activity. Annual Meeting of AACR, San Diego, 2008,
Abstract No. 2402.
About BiTE Antibodies
BiTE(R) antibodies are designed to direct the body's cytotoxic, or cell- destroying, T cells against tumor cells, and represent a new therapeutic approach to cancer therapy. BiTE antibodies have been shown to induce an immunological synapse between a T cell and a tumor cell in the same manner as observed during physiological T cell attacks. These cytolytic synapses enable the delivery of cytotoxic proteins from T cells into tumor cells, ultimately inducing a self-destruction process in the tumor cell referred to as apoptosis, or programmed cell death. In the presence of BiTE antibodies, T cells have been demonstrated to serially eliminate tumor cells, which explains the activity of BiTE antibodies at very low concentrations and at very low ratios of T cells to target cells. Through the process of killing cancer cells, T cells proliferate, which leads to an increased number of T cells at the site of attack.
Several antibodies in Micromet's product pipeline are BiTE antibodies
and have been generated based on Micromet's proprietary BiTE antibody
platform. The most advanced BiTE antibody is MT103 (MEDI-538), targeting
CD19, and has provided proof-of-concept in an ongoing phase 1 clinical
study in patients with advanced non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. MT110, which is

90 days. Banana-shaped fruit with smooth yellow skin and sweet, spicy salmon flesh. 16-24 inches long, 5-8 lbs. It was listed in 1885 by J. H. Gregory's Catalogue, which said, "When ripe it reminds one of a large, overgrown banana... It smells like one, having a remarkably powerful and delicious fragrance." This is one of my all- time favorites, being very sweet and great for specialty markets.

What are the pros? very productive,smells great
What are the cons? none
The only negative is that you have to wait more than other melon spieces. However, it's high resistant to any bug, it doesn't need reach ground or much water and every plant gave me about 7 to 10 fruits 2.5 kg to 4.5 kg each. i'll surelly will plant it again next year.

What are the pros? Fun to grow
What are the cons? Slow to ripen
This was our first year (2014) growing these. There is not a lot information about when to harvest these so I spent a lot of time second guessing myself about when to pick them. They start out dark green then turn pale green. They were a very pale green for a very long time then one day in a matter of 10 hours the first one turned from a pale green to a very bright yellow and became much softer. It was very juicy and tasted like a sweet cantaloupe. There was a very thick amount of green flesh and then a smaller amount of orange flesh. I have decided to wait an extra day or two to pick the next one because I think more of the melon will be edible if I wait. These were no harder to grow than any other melon we grew. They produced more fruit than I expected considering how large they are.

What are the pros? delicious, frangrant and uniqu
What are the cons? Odd specimen with green flesh
I have grown these for several years now, and they are a hit--with us and when I take them to local farmers markets. I have grown, cut and sampled probably well over a hundred of them, and was very very surprised to cut one that had a sweet green flesh just last night. It was ripe. It just had green flesh. Has anybody else experienced this? I really want to know, since I sell them and want to give my customers as much information as possible.

What are the pros? Easy to grow, tasty
What are the cons? None
I love this melon. It's easy to grow, and I get many large melons. The taste is similar to cantaloupe. They are fairly pest-resistant. Earwigs like to burrow into the skin, but that's not a serious issue, as I haven't had any problems with them damaging the interior of the melons.

Old but good
Ease Of Use
This is extremely easy to use as multi-effects pedals go. All the knobs correspond to different banks of effects categories. You can immediately adjust an effect type without scrolling through menus. From there, you can adjust the individual parameters of the effects with the press of a category button (there are several and they are labeled) and then simple +/- buttons to alter the effect. It's very similar in layout to the Vox Tonelabs.
The standard patches are lousy, but you can tweak things very quickly to find a suitable sound that you like. I found that I used it as an EQ pedal with cab sims for external preamps and as a purely effects pedal with delays/modulations. It was easy to use for me.
As I said before, it's easy to tweak around and get a decent sound. It does make an attempt with the amp models to be realistic, but I never really considered it even close to par with the real deal. This was a budget friendly multi with lots of features to begin with, not top of the line ever.
The amp sims/distortions sound shrill, thin and nasally to me. I could not EQ that out and I never liked using them.
Despite it's less than stellar amp models, I found the cab sims worked great for direct recording and provided a lot of very usable sounds when running external preamp/distortion signals into them. I tended to favor the various 4x12 models because they felt more full and big sounding. Despite my 4x12 preference, I noticed that each cab model was distinct in its voicing and that the smaller cabs were useful for finding tones that would sit well in the mix too.
The delays and modulation effects were more than passable for an average home user. They aren't great, but are good enough. I liked the phaser models for adding a good texture and motion to the tone. They can get as subtle or over the top as you like. The delays were long enough to do crazy echoes and none really sounded sterile to me the way digital delays sometimes can. The chorus and reverb were also good but I ended up using the reverb on my amps more often and I bought a cheap Boss CH-1 used to supplement as well.
The looper feature was really good for personal practice. It's not as fancy as some you see now in the Boss GT series, but it got the job done. I think the max length is 20 seconds, but I never found myself limited. I also used the Aux in to play CD's and jam along for practice purposes. That worked fine.
For the expression pedal, I was never impressed with the wah models and didn't use the univibe much. I owned some stand alone wahs already, so it wasn't a reason I bought the pedal and I wasn't terribly disappointed that the wahs weren't so great. There is a talk-box like effect that was fun for fooling around with Frampton stuff, but it's not an every day use thing for me either. I mostly just used the pedal as a volume pedal and it worked very well.
The built in tuner is accurate. I've compared it with my Turbo Tuner, and while the TT is a little quicker to pick up the note, the AX1500g does a good enough job for everything except intonation.
I've had this for over 4 years now, purchased used originally and it's still going strong. The switches still work, they are plastic, but I've gigged with it and never had a problem. Some of the chicken head knobs are starting to get a little sticky. I don't make too many adjustments these days because I've mostly got all the patches set to how I want them, so they tend to "set" in the position I have them for long periods of time. The casing itself is metal and sturdy and the expression pedal still feels tight and solid underfoot.
Customer Support
Liked about it
1. It was cheap and offers a decent direct recording situation. The cab sims really are pretty good to my ears.
2. Looper feature is really nice for practicing and it's not hard to use at all.
3. LCD screen was easily visible.
Didn't like
1. Distortions/Amp models were sub par.
2. Some limitations on what effects you can use together, no flange/chorus, no reverb and delay, etc.
3. Only had an input and a stereo output. Today's multi's feature things like USB connectivity, midi, effects loops, etc. I know it isn't a fair comparison to a product from a few years ago, but I wish that it had some of those features. My overall rating reflects what is available today, not that I haven't gotten a lot of good out of it.
Overall satisfaction:

Gay couples in Michigan are calling it a day of "sheer joy," as they line up for marriage licenses for the first time.
Glenna DeJong and Marsha Caspar this morning became the first same-sex couple to marry in the state, following yesterday's decision by a federal judge overturning the state's decade-old ban on gay marriage.
Michigan's attorney general is planning an appeal and has asked a federal appeal court to stay the ruling until it's heard. Attorney General Bill Schuette notes that the U.S. Supreme Court suspended a similar decision in January that struck down Utah's gay-marriage ban.
Couples have been lining up at courthouses in four Michigan counties today out of concern that a stay could be granted at any time. DeJong says Michigan should not "waste taxpayer dollars and cause more turmoil" by pursuing a stay.

Here we are, on day eight of the NBA free agency process and we've yet to learn anything more about LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony or any other elite free agents (sorry, Kyle Lowry). It's maddeningly frustrating and it's one of the major problems we have in our system today. I've got five ideas that would make this whole process more exciting and ultimately, more fair for everyone.
As it stands, we have a soft cap in the NBA. Teams can go over that cap to sign their own players and can also use exceptions to go over it. Without going through all of the details, we'll just agree that the system is stringent and it forces teams to use a lot of creativity in building the team they want.
We've also got the free agency waiting period, before any deals can be made official. For those that like suspense, you might enjoy this period of rumor-mongers filling our Twitter timelines with the latest news that doesn't actually qualify as news. "Reports say Chris Bosh is considering his max offer from the Houston Rockets." OH REALLY?
Let's get into the list of ways to improve the process, starting with what I believe is the biggest problem: restricted free agency.

"I told them, pain doesn't have a color. Hurt does not have a color."
– Sandra Holpe
Thursday, Oct. 2, was a day of epiphany for at least one Holly Springs resident.
Sandra Holpe put out a fire to save a stranger's house and the two came to know each other like Good Samaritans.
After spending two days at Alliance Hospital in Holly Springs recovering from smoke inhalation, Holpe was back home recovering and doing most of the daily activities she is used to doing. Last week she talked about what happened on a day of yard sale hopping.
"It seemed like fate had it this way," she began.
"We had gone earlier in the day to a yard sale and didn't have room in the car for everything we wanted to buy, so I decided to go back home and get my niece's van."
With the van, Holpe could put the seats down and get the whole load picked up at once, she said. They left a pile of things they wanted to buy stacked in Regenia Williams' yard and drove back to Holly Springs for the van.
It was when they were going back to pick up their selections that "everything that could happen seemed to happen," Holpe said.
They kept seeing more yard sales along Highway 178 back to Victoria and stopped at each sale to look, she said. But at the first stop, it seemed no one was there to quote them a price, so they left without buying anything and continued west.
At the last sale before going on to Williams' house, Holpe said her little sister, who had her grandchild in the van, had trouble with the baby. The baby noticed a stuffed toy horse, but it belonged to the yard sale lady's grandchild.
"My sister's grandbaby cried for the horse and we kept looking for something to satisfy the baby," Holpe said. "Finally, at Boots and Spurs, we found an ugly doll that satisfied her. Now we are on our way from Boots and Spurs and hungry. We discussed stopping at the Texaco Station to eat, but didn't."
Holpe said they didn't eat because it was getting later than they expected and she feared the yard sale in Victoria may have sold everything they had asked them to hold.
"We were concerned they may have sold our stuff, even though they had told us they would hold it," she said. "We were worried they would sell it because we were so late."
When they arrived for the second time at Regenia Williams' yard sale, before they got out of the van, Williams and her grandchild came out the front door to greet them. Following Williams out of the house was a gigantic dog, Holpe said.
"We were getting out of the van and saw the dog, and Regenia was telling us he wouldn't bite a fly," said Holpe. "All of us were jittery because the dog was so big."
Williams insisted on helping Holpe and her family, but Sandra Holpe noticed she was wearing a hospital band on her wrist.
"We tried to get her not to help," Holpe said. "She went back inside and after a while came out of the house crying out, 'The house is on fire! The house is on fire,' and fell to her knees!
"I looked up at the roof and smoke was just billowing."
Williams had the phone in one hand and was screaming and hollering, Holpe said.
Sandra Holpe said she has never been the heroic type.
"Usually, if something is happening I let the professionals handle it," she said.
But when she went down on her knees everything changed.
"When she fell to her knees, something just kicked in," Holpe said. "I knew that pain. I had been through that pain before. I didn't think. I just started working on the fire."
While visiting with Holpe in the hospital, Williams said Holpe told her about her house burning down when she was young. The family lost everything.
"I remember saying to myself so many times - 'I ain't got nothing, I ain't got nobody,' " Holpe said. "I could not and would not let it happen to her. If I had lost my life, I would have just lost my life. I did not think. If I had just lost my life, I know she would have known I had done my best."
Holpe does not usually know by name the people at the yard sales. She just buys.
"At a yard sale, I am trying to hustle to get them down on their price," she said.
And she did not know Williams yet.
Holpe said the next moments were desperate as her family tried to enter the house to put the fire out.
"They took off running to the house," said Williams, adding that the medical band on her wrist was put on when she went in for blood work for an upcoming surgery.
Holpe and her family had tried to enter the house but were initially pushed back by the smoke.
"I took the sledge hammer and started breaking out windows to let the smoke out," Williams said.
Holpe's relatives, Marilyn Brown and Theresa Jackson, worked furiously to get the water hose ready while Williams cracked out four windows and, now inside the house, Holpe pulled the hose inside began spraying water.
"They said I was holding it like you hold a gun," Holpe said.
"When I went in this time, I told her, 'I am not going to let that house burn up. You may have some damage, but you are not going to have no home,' " Holpe said.
"I went straight in the kitchen and just started spraying the ceiling and the counter and the stove. Lastly, I held the hose on the breaker box to get it to blow. When it blew, the fire was smoldering."
Holpe was helped out of the house and lay prone in the yard, exhausted and choking for breath. She tried to cough but couldn't.
Her hair was singed over her face and a wig she was wearing was singed on the top, too.
At this time, Holpe said she was very confused. Chief Kenny Holbrook and the Holly Springs Fire Department had arrived to assist Victoria Fire Department.
"I thought I was dead when I saw Chief Holbrook's white hair," Holpe said. "He was soft spoken. He said, 'You put the fire out. You know you saved these people's home, don't you?' "
Holpe remembers nothing else until she awoke at Alliance Hospital.
"When I was at the hospital, someone (a visitor to another room) walked in and asked me why did I do that for somebody white?" Holpe said. "I asked, were they white? I didn't even notice.
"I told them, pain doesn't have a color. Pain is like something that is odorless.
"Hurt does not have a color. To lose everything does not have a color. I know because I've been there."
Williams visited with Holpe and her family the first night at the hospital.
"My family was there and she hugged on my family and said, 'This is my angel. This is my guardian angel.' She told my sister, 'I love her (Sandra Holpe). I love her to death.' I told her, I love you, too."
Holpe has been back to the house where she put out the fire several times since being released from the hospital and they talk almost daily on the phone.
"I told Regenia, if I'm her guardian angel, I've got to see what she's up to. She says she is never going to cook anymore. I said, cook, but just be careful. I just call her the love of my life.
"I told her, I never felt that way before. I've always been on the receiving end. It is so good to be able to do something for somebody. She deserves all the goodness. The Lord put her through her test. She passed with flying colors."
Williams said she was in the kitchen frying chicken when Holpe and her family drove up.
"By the time I went out and said, 'let me go flip my chicken,' it had caught fire," she said.
"It had caught fire and a grease fire is quick," she said.
The walls in the living room and kitchen have to be replaced and the contents, she said.
The Williamses have lived in this home for five years.
"I am thankful she was there when it happened," Williams said. "I could not have saved my house. I am nobody to her. Out of the goodness of her heart she did what she did. It's a blessing in disguise. I could have lost my whole house."
Williams said other friends and neighbors stepped in to help clean up.
"We were able to stay in the house that night. I had people - friends and family - to help me clean and we were able to stay," she said. "My neighbor Carol Walker came over and said, 'Give my some clothes. I'll start washing.' "
Williams said she has felt that most people do not care about their neighbors.
"But there are some good people here," she said. "They do exist. It will be a while but we will get the house fixed up."
Chief Holbrook said by the time his trucks arrived there was light smoke showing from the house but the fire was knocked down and smoldering.
The skillet was still crackling and the kitchen cabinets and vent-a-hood had been well involved, he said.
Although fire workers do not recommend anyone try to put a fire out themselves, he said Holpe had done a good job.
But she had inhaled hot air and gases which caused respiratory problems, he said.
"We began treating her with oxygen and MedStat transported her to the hospital," he said.
Although Holpe did a good job, sometimes it is not a safe thing to do, he said.
Firefighters recommend everyone get out of the house immediately, he said, and close all doors and windows to starve the fire from oxygen.
He said 911 should be called after everyone is out of the house safely and accounted for if the fire cannot safely be extinguished.
Holbrook said if no one is left in the house and there is no life at risk, it is best to wait for the fire department to get there.
Everything in a house but a life can be replaced, he said.
"Do not risk your health for property," he said. "We carry personal protective equipment that allows us to attack a fire safely.
"If a person's life is involved, that's when we put our people at risk, but they are trained personnel. We teach, get out, stay out, and close all doors behind you."
October 5-11 was Fire Awareness Week nationwide.

Best Brokers For Day Traders
We believe that a successful day trader needs three brokerage accounts. First account should be with very low per-share plan to make small size trades of up to 1,000 shares. Second account should have low flat-rate plan for making larger trades (1,000 shares or more) that would be too expensive with the per-share plan. The third account will provide the best trading, research and charting tools which are usually found in more expensive brokerage firms.
Below we list our 2014
best brokerages for day-trading
: TradeStation for low per-share trades, OptionsHouse for cheap flat-rate trades, and TD Ameritrade for fantastic set of trading and research tools. It takes 10-15 minutes to open day-trading account at OptionsHouse ($1,000 minimum opening deposit) or TD Ameritrade ($0 minimum opening deposit), and about 10 days at TradeStation ($5,000 minimum opening deposit). If you want to daytrade, all firms require at least $25,000 account balance.

TradeStation offers one of the lowest commissions among discount online brokers: it charges just $0.01 per share for the first 500 shares, $0.006 per share thereafter, with $1 minimum per trade. With that rate all stock trades of up to 100 shares will cost you just $1!
Unfortunately, there is a serious disadvantage with this broker: $99.95 fee will be charged to use their trading platform if customer did not trade at least 5,000 shares in previous month. With this fee it does not make sense to open account at the firm unless you can meet this requirement.
In 2013 TradeStation was rated
Best for Frequent Traders
by Barron's magazine. We rated the firm
Best for Futures Traders
in 2014. Right now for a limited time the company offers 90 days of free trading promotion, which gives you an opportunity to try them commission-free for 3 months (promotion link below).

TD Ameritrade is rated one of the top brokers for active traders by major investment magazines for the last few years.

"I wanted a photo card that would include enough space for me to write a personal message that would go to our closest friends and family. I found that possibility after fielding a call to the staff at Tiny Prints. The folded 'Favorite Memory' Photo Card was perfect. My intended story was told beginning with a full cover photo, two photos and my 87 word message inside, ending with one photo on the back…A perfect fit! Comments coming back to me convey the joy that I felt as I went through the layout process. Many, many thanks for helping me give this 'gift' to the people I love."
"Great card. Lots of room for pictures. Looks professional. I got it in the signature matte which is very nice. On the inside I added two pictures of my kids side by side with some print under each one. This was an added bonus of this card. Overall if you are looking for a nice New Year Card I would definitely give this one a look."
"These cards turned out great. I gave the print quality 4 stars because the photo could have come out a bit sharper, but for a printing on paper, it was good. Nice thick card stock, and the color scheme we chose matched our photo color well. I picked this style because I loved that we could use 3 different photos, and the message inside was exactly what I wanted. Some glitches this year with delivery times for Christmas (our order was delayed several days), but they made it just in time for Christmas, so it worked out in the end."
"We were really pleased with how this card turned out. We liked the simplicity and the lack of graphics on the front worked well for our photo. We also liked the opportunity to put our own greeting on the inside. The quality of the paper and the printing make the card seem very high end. Overall we got exactly what we were looking for!"
"It was very difficult for me to choose a card that expressed a warm holiday, non-religious greeting, but also fit the pictures I wanted to display and the text I wanted to add which included a new home address. The representatives at Tiny Prints and designers were incredibly helpful and spent a lot of time with me on the phone giving me suggestions and helping me to design the perfect card. I couldn't the more pleased with the result. In addition, I received a thank you note teliing me that it was a pleasure to help me and they hoped I was pleased with my card! Customer Service at its tops-rarely seen theses days- thank you all at Tiny Prints!"

With tribals in Orissa being forced to "return to Hinduism" is this an indication that we cannot choose our religion but have to follow the one we are born into??

What the tribals are being forced to do so in Orissa is very sad indeed. The people forcing them to do so are acting like bullies. Freedom to choose any religion is a person's fundamental right.Answered by Mitali Choudhury, 12 Oct '08 06:05 pm
Yes, thats the torture with religion. It feeds on peace and violence is its character. I say free urself from these religion stuff live like a real man. express urself, see the life thru ur eyes and enjoyAnswered by kasak, 12 Oct '08 06:04 pm

Wisdom doesnot prevailAnswered by Narayana Raja, 13 Oct '08 06:21 pm
If the religion is chosen without any compulsion of fear or favour, it is good, but it is observed that in many cases some of the unscrupoulous institutions take advantage of the poverty and poor conditions of some of the tribals and convert them. They do not help those who do not convert. This is not humane. If you are from kerala you might have read an Indian Express survey about Attapadi which said that the people were getting converted only for money and material and nothing else. THIS SHOULD BE AVOIDED AND PREVENTED. The government should get the accounts of all these so called religious institutions who a receive hundreds of crores of rupees in the name of religion and spend it specifically for converting the gullibleAnswered by rajnikant raiyarela, 12 Oct '08 08:19 pm

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
Southcoast Fish Company, Inc. 21-May-02
Food and Drug Administration
555 Winderley Pl., Ste. 200
Maitland, FL 32751
May 21, 2002
Randy W. LaPenta, President
Southcoast Fish Company, Inc.
999 South Dixie Hwy, West
Pompano Beach, Florida 33060
Dear Mr. LaPenta:
We inspected your firm at the above address on February 13 and 14, 2002, and found that you have serious deviations from the Seafood HACCP regulations (21 CFR Part 123). These deviations cause your fresh Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo (all three are Scombrotoxin-forming fish) to be adulterated in violation of Section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U. S.C. Section 342(a)(4). You can find this Act and these regulations through links in FDA?s home page at www.fda.gov.
The deviations are as follows:
1. You must have a written HACCP plan to control any food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6 (b). Your firm does not have a HACCP plan for fresh Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo to control the reasonably-likely-to-occur food safety hazard of Scombrotoxin formation.
2. You must implement an affirmative step, which ensures that the fish and fishery products you import are processed in accordance with the seafood HACCP regulations to comply with 21 CFR 123.12(a)(2)(ii). However, your firm did not perform an affirmative step for Mahi Mahi imported from your foreign processors in Costa Rica and Ecuador.
Your firm failed to have a copy of any foreign supplier?s HACCP plans and a written guarantee for seafood products that you import from Costa Rica and Ecuador.
This letter may not list all the deviations at your facility. You are responsible for ensuring that your processing plant operates in compliance with the Act, the Seafood HACCP regulations and the Good Manufacturing Practice regulations (21 CFR Part 110). You also have a responsibility to use procedures to prevent further violations of the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and all applicable regulations.
We may take further action if you do not promptly correct these violations. For instance, we may take further action to seize your aforementioned products and/or enjoin your firm from operating.
Please respond in writing within three (3) weeks from your receipt of this letter. Your response should outline the specific things you are doing to correct these deviations. You may wish to include in your response documentation such as amended HACCP plans, monitoring records, revised forms, or other useful information that would assist us in evaluating your corrections. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond, we expect that you will explain the reason for your delay and state when you will correct any remaining deviations.
Please send your reply to the Food and Drug Administration, Attention: Diane Englund, Compliance Officer, 555 Winderley Place, Suite 200, Maitland, Florida, 32751. If you have any questions regarding any issue in this letter, please contact Ms. Englund at (407) 475-4741.

South African Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel said labor unions, which have organized a series of strikes this year, must commit to increasing productivity as they demand higher wages.
South African President Jacob Zuma promoted Nhlanhla Nene to finance minister, while changing his mines and energy ministers in a new cabinet a day after being sworn into office for a second term.
South Africa is considering building an integrated metal-processing factory that would require an investment of 15 billion rand ($2.05 billion) and have the potential to create 7,000 jobs, Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel said.
Eighteen South Africa construction companies, including the six biggest, have admitted to price- fixing and collusion, Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel said.
Jerome Kerviel, the former Societe Generale SA trader facing prison for a record banking loss, was taken charge of yesterday by French police after prosecutors said his failure to turn himself in would have made him a fugitive.
South African Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel presents details on his New Growth Path, which aims to create 5 million jobs over the next decade, to lawmakers at 9 a.m. in Cape Town.
South Africa's new growth plan provides a fair balance between what the state and businesses can do to create jobs and boost economic growth, Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel said.
South African investment in "green energy" such as hydropower, solar energy and biofuels may create 300,000 jobs in 10 years, Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel said.
South African antitrust conditions imposed on Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s acquisition of a controlling stake in local retailer Massmart Holdings Ltd. are insufficient and need to be tightened, government ministers said.
"The 1.5 billion rand in penalties is not the end of the story with the construction industry."

67. Miles Away (2008)
What's new, Buenos Aires? This video is made up of concert and road footage of Madonna's Sticky and Sweet tour performance in Buenos Aires.
When a pop or rock musician spends enough time touring, it starts to get to them and eventually becomes one of two song types. It's either the rugged road warrior, like Metallica's Wherever I May Roam ("and the road becomes my bride") or Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive, in which the tour-weary narrator pretends he's a cowboy get through the tedium of endless travel. Or there's the "this distance is tearing us apart!" song, like Shihad's Home Again, which also mentions the tyranny of being "miles away" from the one you love.
This is the dilemma Madonna faces. There she is, being a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple, and yet her sweetie is back in England making shithouse gangster films without her.
Even though, on first appearance, the video seems to be a bog standard concert-based experience, there is a hit of the tension. Madonna's performance looks a little stiff, a little rote (even though the soundtrack in this instance is the edited-in album version). And we catch glimpses of her in the daily bustle of a touring musician - from car to plane to arena. Never stopping.
There's a clip of the full live performance too, which has the same stiffness to it in places, but there are also moments where Madonna seems to be genuinely loving the experience of performing in front of the giant arena full of her descamisados. Could it be that Madonna loves touring too much, and the song is not so much about the stress of distance on a relationship, but is lamenting that he doesn't understand her preference to be away?

Samsung starts off their 2013 line of Smart LED TVs with their F6300 series. The Samsung UN75F6300 is one of many that will usher the way for a new era of Smart TVs. Samsung makes navigating their 2013 model Smart TVs easy and seamless with a completely revamped Smart Hub interface. The Samsung 75" LED TV helps you discover new content with S-Recommendation. Samsung Smart LED TVs make it easier to access and share your content with multiple connected devices through Smart View and AllShare. With a dual-core processor, Full HD 1080p resolution, and Clear Motion Rate 240 the UN75F6300 is more than a television, it's a supercharged media hub. The F6300 series is also available in 40", 46", 50", 55", 60" and 65" screen sizes.
Smart TV 2.0Discover more of the TV you love with the Samsung 75" Smart LED TV. Use gestures to navigate within the 5 content panels within the Smart Hub to get S-Recommendation content recommendations. Samsung Smart TVs allow you to easily discover shows, social posts, and movies with more watching and less surfing.
Smart HubOrganization is the key when building an easy to use and simplistic interface. The Smart Hub of the Samsung UN75F6300 now includes 5 panels organized by: On TV, Movies and TV Shows, Social, Apps, and an additional panel for your Videos, Photos, and Music.
S-RecommendationDiscover what you want to watch and new content without the channel surfing, but by receiving recommendation based on your preferences. The 75" Smart LED TV will use your preferences to find customized selections of content for you to watch. Simply visit the S-Recommendation hub for new things to watch.
Full Web BrowserYou can browse the web right from your 75" Smart LED TV. Now you can discover even more content and information possibilities from your Smart TV. Every website will render beautifully on your Smart TV from social sites like Facebook and Twitter to news, weather and more.
Dual-Core ProcessorWith twice as many processors as a conventional HDTV, you can do two times as much work at once. Samsung's Dual Core processor enables multi-tasking on your UN75F6300, so there's never any down time. Downloading an application and browsing the web at the same time is made possible without slowing the connection down.
Smart Interaction 2.0Samsung's Smart Interaction is back and better than ever thanks to a dual-core processor, new gesture commands, and S-Recommendation. Use hand gestures to control your TV in new and unexpected ways. The 75" LED TV offers new and easy ways to interact with your Smart TV and discover new content.

Clear Motion Rate 240Clear Motion Rate is Samsung's answer to an industry littered with inflated performance numbers. The current industry standard for panel refresh rates doesn't take how well an LED can handle fast motion. CMR calculates 3 factors: panel refresh rate, image processor speed, and backlight technology. CMR is a scale based on their lowest CMR rating of 60; the UN75F6300 has a Clear Motion Rate of 240, meaning this Samsung 60" LED TV handles motion 4 times better than a TV with a CMR of 60 and is the ultimate level of motion clarity. The higher the Clear Motion Rate, the better performance the TV will give you when watching fast action sports, movies, or video games.
Wide Color Enhancer PlusWide Color Enhancer Plus ensures that you are seeing the most natural colors on screen. Every color in the RGB spectrum is bold and vibrant, yet natural looking on your 1080p LED TV.

ConnectShare™ MovieConnectShare™ Movie lets you play all types of media files directly from a USB drive or device connected to your television. Home movie viewing has never been easier.
Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC)Control all of your Samsung HDMI connected components conveniently with one remote.
Dolby® Digital Plus / PulseDolby® Digital Plus / Pulse optimizes the TV sound quality when listening and viewing content on the internet and other content played back from wireless or wired PCs, tablets devices, or mobile phones. Now all of the content played on your TV will sound better than their originating source.
DTS 2.0 + Digital OutDTS 2.0 takes a multi-channel DTS audio stream and mixes the signal down for 2-channel audio playback via stereo speakers. You can also send an unprocessed signal to a receiver for further decoding via HDMI or S/PDIF for surround sound.
DTS Premium Sound™ 5.1DTS Premium Sound™ 5.1 enables seamless delivery of content across the internet to web connected devices and provides an immersive surround experience using your UN75F6300's speakers.

Great tv with features great price point overall nice tv.
In a mid level TV , Smart,1080p
At this price point great deal from Samsung
Samsung has been the number one manufacturer for top of the line products for quite a few years now. However, their mid to entry level products do not tend to hold the same value. If you are looking to get another TV to match your existing top of the line Samsung product and this is in an area that is not as important, then this is your TV. If you are looking to make this your main TV then I would strongly suggest going into a store and comparing other manufactures products in the same price point to this. You might be surprised by which one your eyes might fall in love with.
Good picture quality and beautiful design place the Samsung UNF6300 in the Value Category of LED TVs, but be prepared to pay a little more for the picture quality.
100% satisfaction.

Moral Dilemma -Product
What would you do?
12:12 am on Feb 26, 2011
(gmt 0)
Part of what we sell online are shoes. One style of shoes has the steel cup on the OUTSIDE of the toe, its a fashion thing. Recently we learned from a customer that people like to weld things to the steel toes. Things like bolts, spikes and other metal parts. Then apparently these people like to kick other people. Pretty disgusting I think.
Now theres no law against this product and we have already invested quite a bit in them. The company will not take them back, they are not defective.
I know its not our responsibility, but knowing this new information I am not comfortable selling them anymore. I've taken all the pairs to storage infact.
What you guys think?

Donate them to an organization that works with homeless people, they will get them distributed to people who really need them. You will get a "gifts in kind" donation receipt for their value so you can write off part of your loss. You'll feel good that you put them to good use and it will probably lift that cloud from your consciousness.
The homeless people receiving them probably would not have the notion to use them as you've indicated.

I used the belt you sold me to beat my kids, my dog, AND brett tabke every time my Google rankings drop. You should stop selling belts too.
That's not a moral dilemma. It's linkbait. You can't fix stupid, so quit trying. These people would be just using something else to kick people with if you weren't around - it's not like you're making guns. Instead start posting the best things people have welded to the shoes. It could be the next lolcats website.

It is a good and right thing that you're giving thought to moral issues, and I salute you for that.
However, I strongly suspect that the situation you describe is more urban legend than fact.
For one thing, welding is a highly skilled operation requiring specialized equipment, and it would likely cost more than the shoes were worth to get something like that done. I'm having trouble visualizing how it could even be done without damaging the shoe.
For another thing, anyone who was inclined to weld things to his footwear could do it to ordinary steel-toed work boots by cutting away some of the leather on the toe.
Golf cleats, spiked racing shoes or cowboy boots with spurs could all be used in evil ways similar to what you're worried about. However, that's not why they're made or what they're intended for, so moral responsibility for harmful actions would rest with the perpetrator, not the maker of the items or the merchant who sold them.
If you were selling something that was actually designed and created for the primary purpose of causing bodily harm, with no other redeeming uses, you'd have much more cause for moral concern.
In the case of steel-toed boots, it occurs to me that having the metal protection on the outside rather than the inside could be quite practical, because it would be easier to keep your feet warm on a really cold day.
If this particular footwear style makes you feel too icky, that's your call. But I don't think you'd be crossing any moral lines if you sold them off to at least recover the cost of the goods.

One customer told you that "people" like to do this? Like what... Him and his two friends? I live in L.A. and if it's crazy, people do it here. I've never heard of this. Never seen it. Can't find anything on the net about it anywhere. And my guess is, that if this became a trend and people were getting hurt, the lawmakers would waste no time making it illegal.
At the very least, I'd sell all you have left.

Sell them then don't restock if you wish. While I wouldn't put it past people to do such horrible things, I would venture that it is a small number. Else, we'd hear about it in the news.

I like Seven Cubed's idea. I was selling an item, seeds for a poisonous plant that people wanted to grow because lots of people just like to grow poisonous plants for fun and others like to use them in witchcraft, not to do any physical harm. It turned out that very rarely people were buying the seeds and then using them to try to poison other people, themselves, or animals. First I limited the packs per purchase, but I still got the occasional email that made me suspect that a customer was intending to do something evil with my seeds. So even though I was the only company selling these seeds, I ranked number one for these seeds, they sold well and helped people find my site, I quit selling them because I didn't feel good about it anymore. I know people could go to the grocery store and by rat poison if they wanted to do similar harm, so it wasn't like my seeds were causing this behavior, but I felt like my entire endeavor was being schmutzed up by the bad karma of what a very few people wanted to do with these seeds.
We are in business for ourselves not because we just want a job but because we want something more--our own business where we are the boss. That means we get to make decisions that for others might be irrational because they are based on something other than the bottom line. As far as I am concerned, being able to act on one's own ethics or ideas or a hunch or whatever is part of the beauty of a small business.
If it makes you feel better to get rid of those shoes, get rid of them by giving them to a charity.

I'm with SevenCubed on this.
I'd guess that anyone who might be inclined to weld things to the tips of their shoes so the could hurt someone would probably know someone like minded who had the equipment to do so.
Sounds bizarre though.

Well, that's true enough. You gotta feel good about what you sell. I just wouldn't worry about it that much. Heck, a sizable portion of the population would rank my career as lower than waste disposal technician. But I'm quite happy with the fact that I'm an expert in my field and for the folks that are interested, I'm able to help them. I'm sure it's the same for folks in adult. Some folks would say it's degrading, others would say it's helping people. If you're of the attitude you're degrading, then time to move on. Or change your attitude.

Thanks so much for you guys posts.
I have a clearer idea now.
Its almost like the video game debate; Are video games too violent or do crazy people do crazy things no matter what.
We decided to sell the rest of the stock and not reorder. But with one condition, if anyone mentions welding stuff on the toes, no sale.
Thanks again.

If I owned a gun shop and someone bought a gun from me and shot someone with it, I wouldn't feel morally obligated to close my shop.
It's a style. Just because
people used it in a manner in which they shouldn't have doesn't mean everyone else should be denied the product. I say don't change anything you're doing.

Come to think of it, you have an opportunity for an amazing ad campaign here... ask customers to buy your shoes, weld random crap to the toe, then send in a picture and have a photo contest for the dumbest crap ever welded to a shoe. I bet you would get a ton of traffic from it.

IMHO that would be misdirected energy on both the personal and business levels.

Because it would be treating the shoes as art objects instead of weapons. And that would change the orientation of the people who were putting stuff on their steel toes. You don't usually use a sculpture to wonk someone in the head.

It doesn't encourage it, it turns it around. Explain to the visitors what's been happening (and it probably only happened once), and how dumb it is that people would weld stuff to shoes. Flip it around and attract an audience who will buy them for another reason: to weld dumb crap on the front, making fun of it.
There are people out there who love stuff like this. After the initial Obama Mania wore off and he started slipping in the polls, companies selling that Obama coin you saw on TV had tons of them and no one was buying. But in the end, the real sales figures came from people who
like Obama. Someone started a site where they encouraged people to buy the obama coin, destroy it, and upload the video to a site. The site didn't stay online very long, but it created a huge surge of sales for all of the companies selling Obama coins in the meantime. I know at least one company selling that coin sold more coins to the tea party types than they did to the Obama fans.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
VAC: Splitting the System Audio
What I want to be able to do is split the system audio so that my Game audio and Skype audio are on 2 different streams, I also want it so that any remaining application audio is put into another stream.
I currently have a setup where my Audio is split into 2 streams, via VACs. The first is Skype audio, and the second is the rest of my system audio. I use this for my video recording, so that I can remove background (white) noise from the skype caller's audio.
I have 3 VACs:
1: Skype Audio
2: System Audio
3: Joint Audio
I currently have Skype outputting to (1) and my default speakers set to (2). I then send (1) and (2) to (3) via Audio Repeaters, which I then send the content of (3) to my headset. I sometimes have 2 headsets in use, so I load another Audio Repeater and send (3) to the second headset as well. The issues I'm facing is that I receive a lot of crackling and popping noises coming through BOTH headsets. It only seems to happen when both (1) and (2) are linked to (3). When, for example, only (1) is, there is usually no popping or crackling, the same for when only (2) is connected.
I want to extend this further and have 3 streams, 1 for Game, 1 for Skype and the third for ANYTHING else... I don't want to use Virtual Audio Cable as when I use it, it likes to crackle and slow all the audio down... Unless you know a fix for this I need another way of doing it... I also want to be able to route the Audio through 2 USB headsets for Dual Commentaries... And finally, I do NOT have access to Stereo Mix, the way my Headset works, is that it disables it from use.
Thanks for any help and just ask if you need more information...

Tons of BSODs and lock ups
Hello all. I've been reading this forum for a little while now, figured I might as well register. I arrived from Neowin, when some guy on here claimed to have the leaked RC... Hahaha.
I installed the Windows 7 RC x64 when it came out. (Clean Install).
I've had nothing but problems so far...
1. iTunes, at no specific time, causes my computer to completely lock up. Song stutters, mouse is unmovable, etc. I have to turn off from the tower.
2. Can't use sleep mode. I think it hibernates instead. Sometimes when I try to recover from "sleep", windows won't load back up. It will just stay on the welcome screen.
3. Random BSOD for no apparent reason. Yesterday, I had a picture open using the built in picture viewer. I had gone away from the computer for a few minutes, and when I returned, my computer was frozen on a BSOD. I had to do a system restore in order for it to load properly.
4. Plugging in external hard drives, cameras, etc. sometimes causes my computer to lock up in the same way iTunes causes it to lock up. A shutdown from the tower is needed to power down.
I don't have internet on it yet since I am at a campus that requires IP registration before access is granted, so I've been using my old XP computer until I get these problems fixed.
I'm using the latest BIOS drivers as far as I know, latest ATI 4870 drivers for Windows 7, and latest Realtek HD audio drivers. I haven't installed many programs yet, so I don't think there's anything conflicting. Problems have been around since I first installed the RC.
5. Don't know if this is a problem, but at Idle, running hardly any processes / startup programs, I'm using 890-1.25gb of ram. Sometimes it randomly decides to only use 690, though. I don't understand... Even safe mode uses 880 or so. Is that normal, these days? I've been using this old computer for years (768mb ram) and just recently (as in 2 weeks) built my own.
Thanks for the help so far.

Hi Melee54,
I seem to be having problems that are very similar to the ones you describe here. Just wondering: did you ever find a solution to these problems?
|My System Specs

I did, but it was very situational. Turns out my IDE DVD drive was the cause of the problem. But the constant freezes and power failures caused my HDD to die, so after I replaced the hard drive and got rid of my IDE DVD burner, everything was fine.

Dr. Susan Clayton Nomination
Friday - 5/21/2010, 3:23pm EDT
Editor's Note: Winners of the Causey Awards were nominated by their peers for their outstanding achievements and important contributions to the Human Capital Management field in 2009. Nominators were asked to answer various questions about the nominee including, how did this person go above and beyond in 2009 and what is the impact of this person's work? Their answers have been posted below. To see the complete list of Causey Award winners click here.
IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman has challenged his organization to ensure it has the right leadership in place over the next five years, to effectively serve America's taxpayers the next 15 years and beyond.
Susan has chief responsibility for coordinating the Leadership Succession Review (LSR) process for the Internal Revenue Service. This is the foundation of IRS Succession Planning and involves all front line, department and senior managers. It provides up-to-date information on those who aspire to their next level of leadership (e.g., front line manager to senior manager; senior manager to executive), and their state of readiness for that level.
In addition, Susan plays a key role in the new Accelerated Leadership Program (ALP), which identifies high-potential emerging leaders, preparing them for executive positions by mid-career.
Susan is the consummate customer service professional, addressing the diverse interests of the 12 business units that participate in the LSR process. She used her influence skills to help propose and get agreement on a set of succession planning policies that ensure the right people participate in LSR and that the data we collect is accurate and useful.
Susan also was instrumental in helping the IRS design the pilot Accelerated Leadership Program (ALP) for the Criminal Investigation Division. This includes the method for identifying participants and the process for their development.
IMPACT: Over 9,500 individuals are now in the IRS LSR database, providing a very clear picture of bench strength at all leadership levels. We also have an understanding of where our leaders are doing well in the leadership competencies and where they are falling short. This helps both individuals and business units address developmental gaps more effectively, helping people to more quickly attain a "ready now" state for their next leader level. Finally, ALP has been launched and the program in Criminal Investigation was designed to be portable to other business units. Two of the largest business units in IRS are prepared to initiate ALP in FY 2010, based on the Criminal Investigation Division model.
Susan demonstrates day to day the value of her years of experience in the HR and Organization Development fields. She understands work systems -- and more importantly -- the impact of work systems on people. LSR and ALP are tremendous culture change issues for IRS, and Susan is helping to ensure people understand how the change benefits them, the IRS and the taxpayers we serve. This results in a "commitment" from people to make the changes work, not simply "complying" with the change. Susan is a key player in helping IRS achieve its goal of becoming a "best place to work in government." She is very deserving of recognition through The Causey Award.

It speaks volumes that so many would take his buffoonery and lies as evidence of the lack of the authenticity in his used surname. As if it was impossible for any prominent family; as if a Kennedy, a Vanderbilt, a Carnegie, or a Rockefeller could be without its assorted cousins to whom a connection to the main family is accurate, yet boorishly abused. We have this popular concept that turns humans with certain names, positions, titles, or occupations into more-than-humans and we think they either must be incapable of doing wrong, or have never been what they claim to be in the first place.
Also, it seems to me, there is a small bit of hypocrisy here. We all creatively edit, it's human nature. We always put forward our best version of the truth, especially when we wish to make a good impression for a job or a club or when meeting someone very important. There are a great deal of mistakes I have made, and less than savory events in my past, as well as individuals in my family I am not proud of. You will not hear me discuss these in mixed company, and rarely inside of the family.
I will say this; I claim the Pooles of Maryland prominently, because they claim me, placing me in the massive genealogical tome that is put out every few years, down to even whether I happen to be in Japan or not at the time of publication. I'm a daughter's daughter's daughter's daughter's son, long removed from the direct Poole line, and I am honored they think highly enough of me to claim me publicly. When in situations where family is a topic of conversation, I see no wrong in being proud of my heritage. However, once in an evening is probably enough... Even when true, stressing one's background over and over (unless directly related to the topic of hand, and even then it is a matter not of what you do but how you do it) is very much the textbook definition of crass.

There was another fake Rockefeller running around Boston a couple of years ago, who went by 'Malcolm Rockefeller' for awhile and then changed his name (at least the one he went by) to 'Eric Rowe-Price' when the heat got too hot for him. The 'Rowe' was added to his actual surname of 'Price' to associate him with the founders of the Baltimore financial services firm, and he then claimed a Rockefeller as a mother. His story first broke in the Globe, and then the Down East Dilitante sleuthed out the rest of the fascinating (and ultimately sad) story on his own most fascinating blog, which I highly recommended reading.

The third book in Spencer's wonderful Tinker series manages to be both energetic and episodic without being hectic. Spencer crams in all the backstory readers might need relatively gracefully, however, this is definitely a series that should be read in order. Tinker's a fantastic character and in this volume, the secondary characters really begin to shine as well.
The dimensional gate that connected Pittsburgh to the rest of Earth has been destroyed, leaving the city stranded deep in the virgin forests of Elfhome. Meanwhile, the elves are fighting a war against the oni that can only end in total annihilation for the losing side. Despite having grown up as a human girl, Tinker is now an elfin princess and has charge of the varied population of the region. When elfin children start to disappear, she must take quick action, because they have been kidnapped by the enemy oni who, when out of uses for their captives, eat them. As Tinker works to get to the bottom of the disappearances, she discovers secrets and betrayal and will need to rely on her wits in order to survive and to save those she loves.
