Hydrochlorothiazide Lisinopril (Zestoretic)
What is Hydrochlorothiazide Lisinopril?
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention.
Lisinopril is in a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme. Lisinopril lowers blood pressure and also relieves symptoms of fluid retention.
Hydrochlorothiazide and lisinopril is a combination medicine used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).
Hydrochlorothiazide and lisinopril may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Hydrochlorothiazide Lisinopril FAQ
I am taking lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide. I occasionally have a coughing spell. Is this the dry cough side effect? And if so, should I continue to take it? My blood pressure is well-controlled.A: Lisinopril is in a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme. Lisinopril is used for high blood pressure and in post heart attacks. Side effects that could occur include dizziness, stomach upset, nausea, and cough. Unfortunately, ACE inhibitors are well known to cause an annoying cough for patients taking the medication. It is usually described as a dry cough that develops after taking lisinopril for awhile. There is nothing that can be done to avoid the cough unless another ACE inhibitor is tried. Some physicians choose to stop the ACE inhibitor altogether and start their patient on a different class of blood pressure medication. A drug should not be stopped without consulting a physician. Make sure the physician is aware of the side effect and he/she can determine an appropriate drug regimen.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), breast cancer is the second leading cancer type among American women, exceeded only by skin cancer.Breast cancer is the number one cause of cancer death in Hispanic women. It is the second most common cause of cancer death in white, African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native women.
Since October marks National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Guilford County Department of Public Health would like to encourage all females to participate in activities and behaviors that promote breast health and reduce the risk of breast cancer. "Our future health is based on what we do today," states Merle Green, Health Director. "Even small steps can yield big benefits."
There is no sure way to prevent breast cancer but making healthy life style changes will help lower your risk.
• Control your weight and exercise. Make healthy choices in the foods you eat and the kinds of drinks you have each day. Stay active.
• Know your family history of breast cancer. If you have a mother, sister, or daughter with breast cancer, ask your doctor what is your risk of getting breast cancer and how you can lower your risk. There is also new information on family history. If your father has or had prostate cancer, this too can increase your risk for breast cancer.
• Find out the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy. Some women use hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to treat the symptoms of menopause. Ask your doctor about the risks and benefits of HRT and find out if hormone replacement therapy is right for you.
• Breastfeed your children.
• Limit the amount of alcohol you drink.
• Get screened for breast cancer regularly. By getting the necessary exams, you can increase your chances of finding out early on, if you have breast cancer.
• Do not smoke; if you do smoke, quit.
The Department of Public Health's Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP) provides free screening and follow-up examinations for breast and cervical cancer to eligible women who are age 50 and over. On-site services include blood pressure screening, cholesterol screening, clinical breast exam and Pap smear. The program also refers eligible BCCCP patients to another facility for mammograms. To be eligible for the BCCCP program, women must be Guilford County residents age 50 or older, not enrolled in Medicare part B or Medicaid, and meet income guidelines for the program.
BCCCP clinics are held every Tuesday and Thursday in Greensboro at the 1100 E. Wendover Avenue location and every Wednesday in High Point at 501 E. Green Drive. Please call 641-3233 for an appointment or more information.
In addition, any woman regardless of age who comes for clinical services (Family Planning or Maternity) at the Department of Public Health will receive a breast cancer screening as a part of her new or annual exam. In the event a mammogram is needed, the Department of Health's staff can make a referral for her to an appropriate provider.

HOUSE TOUR: @OscarPRGirl's Outrageously Colorful Hamptons Getaway
For a young executive at Oscar de la Renta, Miles Redd creates a bright and breezy weekend retreat that exemplifies carefree glamour
By Kate Betts
Living Room
In the "selfies" Bearman posts on all her social-media platforms, she often strikes the pose of a seasoned fashion model, wearing the latest de la Renta ball gown or a midriff-bearing mermaid-style skirt with a halter top—her style signature. So it's no surprise that a giant 1960s Gruau poster featuring a glamorous couple in an Italian ad hangs in the living room. You would swear it was Bearman and her husband, Jonathan, an investment banker.
The living room sofa is by Dune, and the Louis XV–style armchair was found at Christie's; the sconces are from Visual Comfort, the stool is from Treillage, and the walls are painted in Benjamin Moore Impervo in Very Green.

Obama's Legacy Will Be Defined by Deficit Reduction, Says Car Czar
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Steven Rattner thinks long-term deficit reduction and budget reform will be the Obama administration's biggest issue to tackle in his second term.
Speaking to TheStreet after a panel discussion for The Deal Economy 2013 conference held at The New York Stock Exchange, Rattner said he believes the president understands that a long-term solution to the country's deficit and other major budgetary matters, such as tax reform, will "define" his legacy as United States president.
Rattner's comments were about broad budget reforms that would come about during the next four years, not specifically about the ongoing negotiations of the so-called fiscal cliff.
During the panel discussion, Rattner was more pessimistic about what Congress and the president will be able to achieve concerning the fiscal cliff -- when tax relief measures and deep spending cuts will automatically go into effect at the beginning of 2013 -- as he said he wasn't "real optimistic" that a "major deal" would happen.Rattner may be best known as Obama's appointed "car czar," who the administration tapped to lead the team that eventually devised the bailout plan for the America's automotive giants, specifically General Motors (GM) and Chrysler. "I think Steve is right; the longer lasting problem is that ... the long-run trajectory is for spending that increasingly outpaces the revenues, and therefore we need to do something about that," said Benjamin Friedman, an economist at Harvard University who has written extensively about fiscal policy.

The channels have a maximum diameter of 1.26 nanometer and an entrance diameter of only 0.71 nanometer; the DXP molecules have the same width as the channel entrances and a length of 2.2 nanometers. Therefore, the entrapped molecules are all aligned along the zeolite channel axis, forming perfectly one-dimensional molecular wires. The zoom-in shows a DXP molecule confined in a zeolite channel.

Beckett: Still Stirring
"Mortal tedium," announces Malone dismissively, after constructing this description. Yet surely mortal tedium is more the experience he has effectively evoked than the reader's reaction on reading it. Albeit with the small rhetorical flourishes that remind us of Malone's self-conscious, creative efforts, the passage is as convincing and moving as anything in conventional fiction.
What is new in Beckett, however, is the way these powerful moments of realism are never allowed to extend right across a novel or play, creating, as in a traditional work, a fully imagined and consistent world that the reader is invited to consider reality. Rather they appear in brief fragments, the vagaries of an idle mind, their intensities contrasted with the inertia of the moribund narrator who produces them; or they emerge as unreliable, fleeting memories to which no date or place can be attached—"afterimages," S.E. Gontarski and Anthony Uhlmann call them in their introduction to Beckett After Beckett, a book largely concerned with the many different relationships between Beckett's narrators and the images they half remember, half invent.
The consequence of Beckett's strategy is that we are never allowed to relax into the determined forward movement of the traditional story or the encyclopedically complete worlds of Joyce and Proust. Rather, something is given, then immediately taken away, as the mind tracks back and forth between engagement and disengagement, or in Malone's case memories of life and the more urgent reality of dying.
Remembering Beckett includes a few pages of notes that Patrick Bowles made of his conversations with Beckett while undertaking the translation of Molloy. Written immediately after the war, this was Beckett's third full-length novel, the first written in French, and the first of what would become the trilogy (Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unnamable), in which, as the work proceeds, we have the impression that each narrating voice—the bedridden Molloy, the detective Moran, the dying Malone—turns out to be actually no more than an invention or earlier manifestation of the next, until finally we arrive at the "unnamable," the voice behind and beyond all the others, unsure of anything except the interminable chattering of language in the mind.
In his notes Bowles recounts a conversation in which Beckett insisted that in order to represent the meaninglessness of the world it was necessary to allow chaos into the text and break down form, to declare the maker of the work as "blindly immersed" in "chance" rather than standing outside it. At the same time, all mere details of history or social setting must be stripped out of the work, so as to arrive at the ultimate reality of consciousness and being. We understand that it was partly in response to these convictions that Beckett decided to work in French, renouncing the greater control and facility he had in English, together with the powerful associations a mother tongue inevitably brings with it.
However, in the same conversation it is clear that author and translator take very great pains over the exact choice of the words in the English version of Molloy. Similarly, Richard Seaver, who translated the short story "La Fin," recalls Beckett's meticulous work on the English text. Reflecting on the sentence "They dressed me and gave me some money," Beckett suggested, "What would you think if we used the word 'clothed' instead of 'dressed'? 'They clothed me and gave me money.' Do you like the ring of that better?" "Yes," replies Seaver, "'clothed' was the better word."
So although facility must be shunned, form broken down, the creator shown to be subject to chance, etc., actually nothing was left to chance when it came to the ring of a word. "It was as far apart from machine translation as one could imagine," writes Bowles.
Beckett was aware of course of the contradiction in his position, that it is inconsistent if not masochistic to talk, as he does to Anne Atik, of writing being a "sin against speechlessness," and then to go on writing, perverse to apply such meticulous control in texts that seek to demonstrate the impossibility of control. Given this state of affairs, honesty (and sanity) demanded that he bring the contradiction to his readers' attention, use its colliding energies—the yearning for expression and the conviction of its futility—to give his work pathos, and, in the end, realism, since it was this contradiction that lay at the core not only of Beckett's experience, but of a whole strand of Western thought that declares the world without sense, but then finds that to go on living one is obliged to behave as if the opposite were the case. Looking for a voice for this modern state of mind, Beckett produced a style in which, with all its developments over his long career, lyricism and parody, affirmation and denial, are always fused together in such a way that each intensifies the other. Here are three examples.
Watt was written during the war but not published until 1953. The eponymous hero of the book has spent many pages trying and failing to explain the world—at once elaborately structured and utterly incomprehensible—in which he finds himself at the house of Mr. Knott. Leaving, as he had arrived, in obedience to mechanisms beyond his ken, Watt is mocked and has water poured on him from a bucket at the railway station, where, after his departure, the abusive station workers look out across the countryside:
The sun was now well above the visible horizon. Mr. Gorman, Mr. Case and Mr. Nolan turned their faces towards it, as men will, in the early morning, without heeding. The road lay still, at this hour, leaden, deserted, between its hedges, and its ditches. From one of these latter a goat emerged, dragging its pale and chain. The goat hesitated, in the middle of the road, then turned away. The clatter came fainter and fainter, down the still air, and came still faintly when the pale had disappeared, beyond the rise. The trembling sea could not but be admired. The leaves quivered, or gave the impression of doing so, and the grasses also, beneath the drops, or beads, of gaily expiring dew. The long summer's day had made an excellent start. If it continued in the same manner, its close would be worth coming to see.
Irrelevant to the progress of the book's plot, the passage is a complex mix of lyricism, caprice, tease, and satire, though as so often with Beckett it's not immediately clear what the object of that satire might be. At the center of the piece there is the goat, free, but not enjoying the fruits of freedom because still attached to the post he drags around, disappearing, but like so much in Beckett, never quite gone. There are the men, distinguished only by their undistinguished names, unconscious of being locked into the mechanisms of the universe where the day is described as a magnificent frame—dawn and dusk—but without reference to any content in between. And there is the language, a constant mingling of beauty and fatuity, including as it does the pretty play with "latter," and "clatter," "still air," and "still faintly," then the pomposity of "could not but be admired," followed by the disturbing absurdity of "gaily expiring dew." The genius of the passage is that the more the tone of address seems wayward, random, uncommitted, the closer it gets to the goat cut free from wherever he was chained but still dragging himself melancholically about, not unlike the book's hero, Watt, who, now freed from his duties at Mr. Knott's house, asks for a train ticket to "the end of the line" and when asked which end replied, "the nearest end."
"No symbols where none intended," Beckett wrote at the end of Watt. The object of his satire, it would seem, is our futile desire to attribute meaning to his prose.
Some years later, in Malone Dies, Beckett had now settled on the technique of dramatizing the act of narration and indeed speech in general as a stratagem for killing time, filling silence. Here, Malone has been trying to tell himself the tale of a young boy, Sapo, who, ill adapted to the world of his anxious middle-class parents, wanders alone about the countryside. Malone is finding it hard to keep up his interest in Sapo:
The market. The inadequacy of the exchanges between rural and urban areas had not escaped the excellent youth. He had mustered, on this subject, the following considerations, some perhaps close to, others no doubt far from, the truth.
In his country the problem—no, I can't do it.
The peasants. His visits to. I can't. Assembled in the farmyard they watched him depart, on stumbling, wavering feet, as though they scarcely felt the ground. Often he stopped, stood tottering a moment, then suddenly was off again, in a new direction. So he went, limp, drifting, as though tossed by the earth. And when, after a halt, he started off again, it was like a big thistledown plucked by the wind from the place where it had settled. There is a choice of images.
Only when Malone drops all the social considerations and finds a parallel between Sapo's uncertain style of perambulation and his own narrative hesitations is he able to go on. At once the tone shifts from comedy to lyricism, as we sense Malone's engagement grow. Ironically this can only happen when he ceases to believe in the story he was telling himself and turns back, however indirectly, on his own fragility and unease.
A hierarchy of reality thus begins to emerge in Beckett's work. Center stage is the purgatorial presence of the moribund narrator, the decrepit Krapp of the play Krapp's Last Tape being perhaps the most famous example. Any ultimate reality lies in the future with death and silence. Meantime, all vigor and purpose lost, the mind wanders oneirically over a past drained of substance or sense, except in those moments when it can be understood as foreshadowing the narrator's present state. Intriguingly, the original French of this passage from Malone does not include the final distancing remark, "There is a choice of images." It is as if, when he came to translate the piece, Beckett was uncomfortable with its poignancy and decided to add his characteristic gesture of denial.
Having renounced the extended and coherent plot, and reduced his characters to larvae, one of the problems Beckett faced after the trilogy was a difficulty sustaining the length of text we are used to in a novel. So the later works get shorter and shorter, and the form toward which they aspire is now the rhythm of breathing, something that was as close as one could get, on the page, to a representation of being.
In Company (1980), which is just twenty-three pages in the new edition, a consciousness in the dark speaks of another voice that it hears intermittently declaring a few spare facts which may or may not be memories. Any notion of identity, time, or place is gone; we have only voices speaking in darkness; nor is it clear whether these voices belong to the same person or to separate people. Yet even in this state of extreme deprivation, lyricism occasionally flowers, attended as always by bathos and comedy:
You are an old man plodding along a narrow country road. You have been out since break of day and now it is evening. Sole sound in the silence your footfalls. Rather sole sounds for they vary from one to the next. You listen to each one and add it in your mind to the growing sum of those that went before. You halt with bowed head on the verge of the ditch and convert into yards. On the basis now of two steps per yard. So many since dawn to add to yesterday's. To yesteryear's. To yesteryears'. Days other than today and so akin. The giant tot in miles. In leagues. How often round the earth already. Halted too at your elbow during these computations your father's shade. In his old tramping rags. Finally on side by side from nought anew.
Once again we have dawn and evening and nothing in between but footfalls, ditches. Deathly and grid-like, ditches are as omnipresent in Beckett as in Dante's Inferno. Irony and pathos are delivered simultaneously in the pun "sole sounds" or in the suggestion of "aching" behind "akin" ("Days other than today and so akin"), or again in the comic possibilities of "the giant tot." There is the typically Beckettian satire of the futile pursuit of descriptive precision ("Rather sole sounds for they vary from one to the next") and in the vain search for some kind of control in computation, the count of the footsteps being soon baffled by the sheer enormity of "yesteryear's…yesteryears'," whose lyricism, in turn, calls up the deceased father's shade, not in his winding sheet, but his "tramping rags." The rhetorical flourish of "Finally on…from nought anew," a refrain repeated throughout Company, is one of those wry gestures to an elegance, at once archaic and compressed, which give to the speaker the illusion of a stoic dignity, while at the same time reminding us of his counting obsessions. If language falsifies, we nevertheless indulge in its consolations and comic possibilities.
For those of us who were long ago enchanted by this prose and believe it second to none, there will always be a certain sadness in the reflection that Beckett achieved fame through the theater and will be remembered by a wider public only for his plays. Yet there are obvious reasons why Beckett's peculiar aesthetic was more immediately effective on stage. Some of the most intriguing pages of Beckett Remembering, Remembering Beckett come from actors who recall the author traveling to theaters all over Europe to follow productions of Waiting for Godot, Endgame, Krapp's Last Tape, and Happy Days, telling them not to play their parts realistically, never to inquire about the characters' lives outside of a text, and, in general, to deliver their lines so far as possible in a flat monotone. "Too much color" was his frequent, head-shaking objection during rehearsals. Once again he was uneasy with the potential for sentimentality in what he had written.
Yet the actors often felt he was quite wrong and that the plays worked better with a lively, realistic delivery, a position to which Beckett himself eventually began to come around. The fact is that the flesh-and-blood presence of the actors on stage creates for the spectators a sense of reality and identification which the absurd plots and dialogues then undermine, so that the tension behind all of Beckett's work between affirmation and denial is dramatized for us in the contrast between the believable actor and the inexplicable, disorienting world he is in. At the same time, the conventions of the theater, which trap us respectfully together in an intimate space for a pre-established time, make it far more likely that the skeptical will follow a Beckett work from start to finish and have time to be enchanted by the rhythms of his writing. If few get through The Unnamable or How It Is, almost everybody can watch Godot to the final curtain.
But most importantly of all, the theater allows both silence and physical movement to come to the fore in a way they cannot on the page. A blank space between paragraphs simply does not deliver the anxiety of a hiatus in a stage dialogue. Only in the theater, as the audience waits in collective apprehension for the conversational ball—between Didi and Gogo, Hamm and Clov—to start rolling again, could Beckett's sense that any deep truth must be located in something, or nothing, beyond speech come across with great immediacy. Likewise the actors' interminable and pointless movement back and forth across the stage is a more immediate statement than the words of a page-bound narrator telling us of his aimless daily wanderings. When we watch the plays, the impotence of language to explain the characters' experience is powerfully evident. Conversation serves above all to pass the time.
Exploding, with his multiple internal voices, the old fiction of individual identity, Beckett created one of the most identifiable literary voices of the twentieth century. Shunning inquiries into his life, he lived to see it given a well-defined shape in the public mind, raised to the status of myth almost: the mother obsession, the attachment to Joyce, the service in the French Resistance, the years of determined toil on the trilogy, the sudden celebrity after Godot, the Nobel Prize, and, finally, the years when everyone who was anyone wanted to be able to say they had spent an evening in a Parisian café drinking with "Sam"—the Sammists, as one old friend ironically dubbed these late arrivals.
Beckett rarely denied himself to them. For the truth that emerges from the biographies, and again now from Beckett Remembering and Atik's very lively How It Was, is that although everybody liked to see him as a solitary and even saintly man, "a withdrawn being who pursues an endless and implacable labour," as Emil Cioran put it, Beckett in fact loved company, particularly drinking company, and far from living alone spent most of his adult life with his partner and finally wife, Suzanne Deschevaux-Dumesnil. Her voice is conspicuous for its absence in Beckett Remembering, indeed she is hardly mentioned at all, as if there were some collective denial on the part of Beckett worshipers that their unworldly hero might have had a conjugal life at all. But in a breach of the general discretion, charming because unique, we hear this from the theater designer Jocelyn Herbert:
I think a lot of [Sam's relationship] with Suzanne…was gratitude and loyalty and I think that he felt remorse for the fact that he had so many friends whom he got drunk with. She didn't drink. And he had after all endless other women. And when people say to me he was a saint I say: "Oh no, he wasn't a saint at all. And thank God he wasn't."
How interesting that God is invoked even here where sanctity is denied. Beckett would have appreciated one more demonstration of meaningless linguistic inertia. Still, it is cheering to think that during all those trips to direct his own plays, urging the actors to avoid all color, Beckett was in fact—in another of the contradictions that make his work so real—actually seeking to add a little color to his own life. Certainly, Jocelyn Herbert seems very sure of what she is talking about; and those three words of hers, "after all endless," have a decidedly Beckettian ring to them.

it could be the clutch, the clutch cable or the trans. Did this happen all of a sudden? If so, it is most likely not the trans. VWs will strip out the self-adjusting clutch cable when the pressure plate gets hard to release, which causes very hard gear selection or none at all. The A/C noise could be several things. When was the last time you had your system serviced?

Home Prices Rise 12.4% in July, Gains Likely to Moderate: CoreLogic
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Home prices continued to log double-digit gains in July, though prices are expected to moderate in the second half of the year.
According to the July CoreLogic Home Price Index, prices rose 12.4% in July on a year-over-year basis and 1.8% month-over-month.
Excluding the impact of distressed sales, home prices rose 11.4% in July year over year and 1.7% from June. Distressed sales include foreclosures and short sales which typically sell at a discount to market price. The share of distressed sales has been falling, so including them in the index tends to exaggerate the pace of appreciation.
The CoreLogic Pending HPI, which indicates future prices, suggested that prices might rise a further 12.3% year over year in August. Month over month, though, price gains would moderate to about 0.4%. Excluding distressed sales, home prices are expected to climb 12.2% year over year and 1.2% month over month in August."Home prices continued to surge in July," said Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic. "Looking ahead to the second half of the year, price growth is expected to slow as seasonal demand wanes and higher mortgage rates have a marginal impact on home purchase demand." Excluding distressed sales, the five states with the highest home price appreciation were: Nevada (+24.2%), California (+20.2%), Arizona )+14.9%), Utah (+13.5%) and Florida (+13.5%). Nationally, home prices are now within 18% from their April 2006 peak. -- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York. >Contact by Email. Follow @shavenk

Today's post comes courtesy of Denis of PPI Reclaim Company
Every business would like to spread its wings into newer areas and many make a bee-line for emerging markets like that of India. The nation is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and recovers from every economic crisis quicker than most nations. It is fueled by a massive internal demand and has been ranked as second most popular for FDI investments according to World Investment Prospects Survey (2010-2012, UNCTAD). If you plan to start a business in India, here are five factors you need to keep in mind. [Editor's note: Check out our article on writing a business plan here and our country profile article on India here]
The Demographics of the Nation
As far as the power of purchase goes, India ranks among the top three largest in Asia. The average age of the Indian is around 25 years and it gives any business targeted at this age group an upper hand. It is this age group that drives the economics of the country and determines what will work here and what will not. Evaluate your business and determine how best it can be introduced into the Indian market. Your marketing campaign will have to be based on factual data on the demographics and their projected demand for what you have to offer.
Look for the Right Infrastructure
An important factor to setting up business in India is ensuring that you have the right kind of physical and economic infrastructure that you need for your business. You need to understand the working culture in the country as well as the time-tested means of getting the job done. Transparency should not be a problem if you are dealing with private sector which accounts for a large part of the economy. Manpower, both at the managerial as well as lower down in the hierarchy can match those, if not exceed international counterparts.
Banking Relations
For any business with a foreign nation you will need the services of a bank in the country. The financial system in India is a well regulated one and you can obtain a wide range of services from insurance to asset management and more. You could even enter the local capital markets to generate liquid assets for your business.
Creating an Identity
You can operate a foreign business as a wholly owned subsidiary company, a joint venture with an Indian company or a limited liability partnership. Each of these have their own distinct features based on the kind of products or services you offer. If you would like to operate as a foreign company you could set up a liason office which is commonly done. You could also open a project office that is functional for specific projects or you could consider a branch office which allows you to operate in a variety of ways. One however will have to check with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on certain exceptions.
Tax Rules in India
You need to understand the nuances of India's corporation taxation laws. You can be taxed under several sectors and you will need to be clear on what these are. Should you declare dividends, you will be liable for Dividend Distribution Tax or DDT. There is also the Minimum Alternate Tax or MAT for those who have limited liabilities but still come under the purview of corporate taxation. There are several indirect taxes to consider as well.
Setting up a business in India has several aspects to it. Getting them right ensures that you have a business that is on a strong foundation.

Bio and Links
I was hatched in 1943. I was granted several degrees through 1985 and was involved in the music business from 1978 through 1985 and often provided Baldwin and Steinway concert grand pianos as well as Allen Organs for international artists performing in the Detroit, Michigan concert stages, but, due to family health issues, our whole family moved to Arizona in 1985 where I entered the mortuary field as a Funeral Director which was something that I always wanted to do since I was a teenager. I was also organist at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson for five years. I have been active in the American Theatre Organ Society and the American Guild of Organists. I retired from the funeral business to the Seattle, Washington area in 2007 and stayed there for six months, but the personal climate was not for me. I moved to Auburndale, Florida for a year, but I decided to return to Tucson, Arizona. Family history and helping others to find relatives are both very special to me. My sister, Lorraine Gene Caplin (now deceased with a memorial site on Find A Grave) was our original family historian. My younger brother, Larry L. Caplin, is alive and well and living in Bellevue, Washington and is also into Find A Grave (he got me started "Graving") which is time consuming, but although there are difficult times dealing with picture "input", it is well worth the time spent. I am always looking for information about James Capling (with the added "g") who died in Traverse City, Michigan in 1914.

Indiana's universities working to boost performance, funding
The Associated Press March 30, 2013 10:40PM
Updated: May 1, 2013 4:12PM
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana's seven public universities are taking steps to boost their graduation rates and increase the number of degrees in key areas like science and technology as part of a state push to tie aid for higher education to performance.
The Indiana Commission for Higher Education has developed a performance-based funding formula in an effort to increase the number of college graduates in the state.
The funding formula began in 2003 with incentives for universities that do research, the Indianapolis Business Journal reported. It expanded in 2007 with rewards for gains in degrees, on-time graduation rates and successful transfer students.
It now rewards schools for growth in number of overall degrees, on-time graduation rates, student retention, number of degrees in science, technology, engineering and math and those granted to students receiving federal PELL grants. Remediation rates and a productivity metric defined by each school also factor into the calculations.
Though public universities continue to receive funding based on enrollment, performance-based funding is growing in importance. The state budget lawmakers are writing this year calls for raising the performance-based calculation from 5 percent of each school's state funding to 6 percent in 2014 and 7 percent in 2015.
"You are seeing strategies within colleges and universities to respond to these metrics because these metrics are responding to student needs," said Teresa Lubbers, a former state senator who now leads the Commission of Higher Education.
Ball State University has a lot riding on performance funding. The school would see no increase in funding over the next two year under the budget state lawmakers are crafting. Only Indiana State University in Terre Haute, which would see a 1.1-percent loss in funding, has fared worse under the performance-based funding formula.
Ball State President Jo Ann Gora told the House Ways and Means Committee in January that the school has been at a disadvantage because it has worked to raise admission standards and the quality of programs while keeping enrollment around 16,000. That strategy, along with Ball State's focus on non-STEM degrees, has hurt its funding, she said.
"Because our strategy has been to get better, not bigger, this is not a strategy that has been rewarded by the funding formula — although we think this is a good strategy for Hoosiers," Gora said. "The formula is a one-size-fits-all. And yet the institutions were asked to differentiate."
She said Ball State hopes to add degrees in computer software engineering and other STEM areas because they command more state money under the funding formula.
Lubbers noted that Ball State already has 27 degree programs that count as STEM degrees.
Ivy Tech Community College also plans changes so it can help more students transfer to four-year institutions and boost the number of technology students earning a credential before leaving.
Ivy Tech President Tom Snyder said he hopes a plan to restructure into four divisions helps identify which programs can grow.
Lubbers said the commission has worked to adjust the funding formula to account for the different missions of each public university. Research-based incentives apply to IU, Purdue and Ball State, but not the others.
Purdue Provost Tim Sands said performance funding affects less than 1 percent of the budget on Purdue's West Lafayette campus. But he said it's still important to keep state priorities in mind.
"The money is not big enough to drive behavior by itself at West Lafayette," Sands said. "What it really does is encourage us to have the discussion (with state leaders), to align our values where we can."

23 March 1920
Barnes, London, England
|7 July 1988
(aged 68)
London, England
|Comedy actor
|Years active
|Valerie Seymour (1958–1969)
James Keith O'Neill "Jimmy" Edwards, DFC (23 March 1920 – 7 July 1988) was an English comedic script writer and comedy actor on both radio and television, best known as Pa Glum in Take It From Here and as the headmaster "Professor" James Edwards in Whack-O!
Edwards was born in Barnes, London, the son of a professor of mathematics. He was educated at St Paul's Cathedral School, at King's College School in Wimbledon, London, and later at St John's College, Cambridge.
He served in the Royal Air Force during World War II, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross. His Dakota was shot down at Arnhem in 1944, resulting in his sustaining facial injuries requiring plastic surgery—he disguised the traces with the huge handlebar moustache that later became his trademark. He was a member of the Guinea Pig Club.[1]
Radio and television[edit]
Edwards was a feature of London theatre in the immediate post-war years, debuting at London's Windmill Theatre in 1946 and on BBC radio the same year. He later did a season with Tony Hancock, having previously performed in the Cambridge Footlights review. He gained wider exposure as a radio performer in Take It From Here, co-starring Dick Bentley, which first paired his writer Frank Muir with Bentley's personal script writer Denis Norden. Also on radio he appeared in Jim The Great and My Wildest Dream.
Graduating to television, he appeared in Whack-O, also written by Muir and Norden, and the radio panel game Does the Team Think?, a series which Edwards also created. In 1960 a film version of Whack-O called Bottoms Up was made, written by Muir and Norden. On TV he also appeared in The Seven Faces of Jim, Six More Faces of Jim, and More Faces of Jim, in guest slots in Make Room for Daddy and Sykes, in Bold As Brass, I Object, John Jorrocks Esq, The Auction Game, Jokers Wild, Sir Yellow, Doctor in the House, Charley's Aunt and Oh! Sir James! (which he also wrote).
He was the subject of This Is Your Life in 1958 when he was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at the BBC's Piccadilly 1 Studio.
Edwards also starred in The Fossett Saga in 1969 as James Fossett, an ambitious Victorian writer of penny dreadfuls, with Sam Kydd playing Herbert Quince, his unpaid manservant, and June Whitfield playing music-hall singer Millie Goswick. This was shown on Fridays at 8:30 pm on LWT; David Freeman was the creator.
Stage and film[edit]
In December 1958, Jimmy Edwards played the King in Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella at the London Coliseum with Kenneth Williams, Tommy Steele, Yana and Betty Marsden. In April 1966, Edwards performed at the last night of Melbourne's Tivoli Theatre. His final words closed a long tradition of Australian music hall. "I don't relish the distinction of being the man who closed the Tiv. Music hall's dead in Britain. Now this one's dead, there's nowhere to go. I'll either become a character comedian or a pauper."[2]
Edwards frequently worked with fellow comedian Eric Sykes, acting in the short films written by Sykes: The Plank (1967), which also starred Tommy Cooper; alongside Arthur Lowe and Ronnie Barker in the remake of The Plank during 1979; and in Rhubarb (1969), which again featured Sykes. The films were unusual in that although they were not silent, there was no dialogue other than various grunts and sound effects. He also appeared in the surreal film The Bed Sitting Room (1969) as Nigel, a man who lives in a left luggage compartment after being mistaken for a suitcase.
Edwards and Sykes also toured UK theatres with their theatrical farce Big Bad Mouse which, while keeping more or less to a script, gave them rein to ad lib, involve the audience, and generally break the "fourth wall". Sykes was replaced by Roy Castle in later runs of the show both in its three-year residency at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London's West End and also extensive tours of the Middle East and Australia. Edwards also starred in the stage revival of Maid of the Mountains.
Private life[edit]
Jimmy Edwards published his autobiography, Six of the Best, in 1984, as a follow-up to Take it From Me. Among his interests were brass bands, being a vice-president of the City of Oxford Silver Band,[3] and was an accomplished player of both the tuba and euphonium. Edwards was one of the principal founders, and a lifelong member, of the Handlebar Club, in which all the members had such moustaches. He was also a keen amateur polo player and played at Ham Polo Club.
Edwards was a lifelong Conservative and in the 1964 general election stood as a candidate in Paddington North, without success. He was a devotee of fox hunting at Ringmer, near Lewes. He also served as Rector of Aberdeen University for three years during the 1950s, a university that has a history of appointing celebrities and actors as their honorary rector.
He was married to Valerie Seymour for eleven years. During the 1970s, however, he was publicly outed as a lifelong homosexual, much to his annoyance. After the ending of his marriage, there were press reports of his engagement to Joan Turner, the actress, singer and comedienne, but these came to nothing and were suspected to be a publicity stunt by both of them.[4] His home was in Fletching, East Sussex,[5] and he died in London in 1988 at the age of 68 from pneumonia.
A Brighton & Hove bus is named after him.[6]

This part-time Level 5 diploma course is for people working in colleges and training centres who already have a generic teaching qualification, and who want to improve their skills and knowledge in order to obtain a license to teach numeracy with Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status.
During the course you will learn how to develop numeracy skills using active learning strategies, informed by the latest research. A central theme is the understanding that effective numeracy learning is based around learners' real-world lifestyles and needs.
This part-time course is suitable for existing teachers in further education who now want to become fully qualified in teaching adult numeracy.
If you are not currently working as a teacher, a more suitable course for you may be PGCE Post Compulsory Education and Training (PCET)
According to the 2011 Ofsted report on our teacher training provision, key strengths include 'the training on the specialist diplomas in literacy and numeracy, which prepares trainees to assess learners' needs and plan to meet those needs exceptionally well'. The Ofsted report also notes that outcomes on the diploma in numeracy 'have improved each year and are high'.
Our course is registered with the Institute for Learning, which is the professional body for teachers, tutors, trainers and student teachers in the further education and skills sector.

This fall, retailers, suppliers and appliance manufacturers are making it easy for Canadians to take action around the home to help meet the One-Tonne Challenge and reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that lead to climate change.
As part of Canada's climate change plan, the One-Tonne Challenge asks each Canadian to reduce their individual GHG emissions by 1 tonne, or about 20 percent. Each person in Canada produces an average of about 5 tonnes of GHG emissions annually. Half of the emissions come from using energy in the home for heating, cooling, water heating, appliances, and lighting.
The energy-efficiency promotions involve a variety of partners across Canada. Conglom and Costco, for example, will hold a 3-day event in 65 Costco stores across Canada in October and November, offering savings on Luminus ENERGY STAR-qualified compact-fluorescent light bulbs, low-flow shower heads and programmable thermostats.
Manufacturers like Honeywell and Waterpik, are offering additional rebates at the events. Home Depot, is partnering with the Clean Air Foundation's EnergySmarts Program to focus on energy-efficient home products.
"Addressing climate change starts with many small actions by millions of Canadians making changes in their daily purchases and habits to lower their energy consumption," said the Honourable R. John Efford, Minister of Natural Resources Canada. "Now, thanks to special promotions, our partners are helping Canadians have even more success in meeting the One-Tonne Challenge and helping our country's energy efficiency efforts."

Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., in 2009 FILE PHOTO. (AP Photo/Harry Hamburg)
Updated: November 21, 2013 6:33AM
WASHINGTON—With the miserable latest episode of government dysfunction behind us, it's time to look ahead.
In the coming weeks, watch for frustrated members of the House GOP to map strategy to gain more control and not let their tea party-allied colleagues highjack their conservative agenda again.
A small group of House Republicans who are part of the tea party movement managed to pressure House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), and together they successfully triggered a 16-day partial federal government shutdown and took the nation to the brink of default.
One of the lessons House Republicans learned is the need to speak up and not to let the vocal minority within their own ranks, cranked up by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), suck up all the air in the room.
Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.) is a governing realist — lawmakers will have to create coalitions to navigate through a GOP House, a Democratic Senate and a Democratic White House.
Schock, on CNN on Thursday, called House GOP members who want to govern the "Sane Caucus."
"I think you are going to see more of us become much more vocal and not be taken for granted when it comes to always counting on our votes," Schock said.
Congress and the White House these past days merely hit the pause button by approving stopgap legislation. The federal government is funded only through Jan. 15, and the debt limit is raised until Feb. 7.
When it gets close to the next shutdown deadline, President Barack Obama may have difficulty playing the ransom card again.
Obama had issued an ultimatum and stuck to it: that he would not negotiate on budget and related fiscal issues until government opened and the debt ceiling raised.
Now those negotiations are going on, with mighty battles ahead as the GOP wants to cut spending and Democrats are looking for more revenue.
The most important factor now is whether the Obama team can fix the glitches and allow people to enroll more easily in Affordable Care Act health-insurance online marketplaces. If the system remains botched, Republicans of all factions will be enormously emboldened.
When it comes to coalition building, William Galston and Elaine Kamarck of the nonpartisan Brookings Institution have an interesting idea.
"What if it took 60 percent of each body to elect the Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of the Senate?
"Unless one party commands a supermajority, the very first vote would then test the ability of aspiring leaders to construct the bipartisan coalitions that are so integral to effective governance," they wrote.
I appreciate an elected official who takes a stand.
But if you want to be in Congress, your job is to figure out how to keep government open — not shut it down.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

We're seasoned entrepreneurs who have launched apps to hundreds of thousands of users and we've already launched Marco Polo for both iOS and Android in private beta. Here is our angellist profile: https://angel.co/marco-polo-1
Marco Polo is the easiest way to send location privately to friends - like Foursquare but you choose who you want to send to, and it's much easier and more fun that dropping a pin. Some have said we're the "Snapchat for location." We've had very strong early engagement and we're poised come out of private beta soon.
Quite simply, we're looking for 1-2 brilliant interns who are passionate about building beautiful products and love to hack around the clock. The internship initially is unpaid but this is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an app that's poised to grow to millions of users and make huge contributions right off the bat. For extraordinary performance there can be further discussion about joining the team in a much more substantial role but we're looking first and foremost for someone who is really hungry and passionate about the opportunity and is ready to prove him or herself.

February 13th, 2011 By RingTalk
San Francisco, CA- With Manny Pacquiao being the "king of boxing," other Filipino fighters with world championship skills are getting attention and at the same time taking the boxing world by storm. The newest Pinoy fighter that has people talking is lightweight (135 lbs) Mercito Gesta. Born in Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines, the unbeaten lightweight (135 lbs.) is being promoted by Hall of Fame promoter Don Chargin, an architect of world champions for over 60 years, and at 82, Chargin thinks Mercito has "the goods."
On Friday night, Gesta puts his unblemished record of 20-0 (10 KOs) on the line at San Francisco's famed Fisherman's Wharf, the Longshoreman's Hall arena, in a ten round main event against Mexican mauler Genaro Trazancos (22-13, 13 KOs). The fight will be carried live on Telefutura TV, the Spanish TV network starting at 10 PM ET this Friday, February 18, 2011.
The semi-main event star is world ranked Eloy Perez of nearby Salinas, CA. Untouched at 19-0 (5 KOs) this maybe the hottest ticket seller on the bill, having sold over $20 K worth of seats! Promoter Chargin has him in against the capable Roger Gonzalez (27-3, 18 KOs)
Chargin has "stacked" the undercard with San Franciscan's undefeated wedlterweight (147) Karim Mayfield (13-0-1, 8 KOs) in an eight rounder. Also making his debut is The City's Joey Gamina, himself a former amateur star that can punch!
Monica Sears of Golden Boy Promotions can arrange interviews with any of the participants at 213-489-5631 or email@example.com
"Ring Talk News Service"
Filipino boxing fans wants Mercito Gesta face off against Brando Rios.
great article sir, thanks for featuring upcoming pinoy boxers as well as other latino fighter mr. pedro….keep it firing sir
If he would train like Pacman, he has the potential and skills to be a great world champion. He has shown a lot of improvement when you compare his last fight with his previous fights…although not enough yet to really be a great champion. What he needs is a better trainer and a good conditioning coach.
hoy!!! merceto kala mo magaling kana… kala mo lang yon… pinanood ko yung mga fight mo pero kulang ka sa foot work at head movement hirap kang sumuntok pag binabanatan ka… kung si jmm ang maka tapat sayo panis ka
na….paka bagal mong kumilos speed..speed…speed yon ang kulang mo para may maihaharap ka kay brandon rios
Manny Pacquio doesn't look like Justin Beiber but more of a clone of LITO CAMO!
What!!?? No Pacquiao trash talk?
Yo Pedro. I know this is off the subjexpct but can u throw a piece to El terrible. He is fighting miadana. And as always has balls the size of watermelons. He isn't asking maidana to come in at 137 or some BS!!!!! And I think he can win this fight if he plays his cards right. Just a fan asking for a well deserved piece.
Maidana is going to knock Morales out…This is a name fight, not a fight fan's fight! Boxing uses so many retreads…Morales has no chance
Maidan is gonna get schooled by a great and a pro!!!!!!!!! Erik was born in a gym hommie. Maidana doesn't know a left hook from a fishing hook. He just throws wild shit and some azzwipes sit there waiting to get hit or have no chins. If Ortiz who doesn't have eriks skill set can be whipping his azz so can el terrible. And like I said at least he isn't have maidan a come down to 133 for a jw welter title fight. He is fighting the man at his best weight. And I don't think Erik would have taken this fight to loose. I think he sees he can exploit this guy. He did it to pacman!!!!!
el terrible is one of my all time favorites but he beat pac a looong time ago…dont count out a real fighter like maidana who has one thing u cant teach in a gym and thats his willingness to do whatever it takes to win a fight…maidana is a beast!
Morales will be knocked out or quit on his stool..
Hey rob rios, please enlighten me, i thought its EM vs JMM, not EM vs Maidana, what happened?
Correct my memory if I'm wrong, but Morales took flush shots, even when he was younger and had faster reflexes. A stiff posture, more Arguello-like, than Barrera, who had a fluid style. Morales is skilled, tough, and gutty, but I don't relish seeing a guy like Maidana teeing off on his head at this stage of his career.
I'm not so high on maidana. I think he is very beatable, and so does el terrible or he wouldn't have signed the fight. Eriks only loses are to super fighters besides diaz, whom I think pacman sapped. But like I said win, lose, or draw I'd like to see the man get props. He's up at 140 fighting the guy everybody is scared of. Khangot lucky with this guy. What do u think happens if Erik wins better than khan??? Everybody is gonna go apeshit.
Morales won't win … so no need to think about it…like Antonio mentioned above, Maidana will Tee off on Morales's head. No chance this will even go 7 rounds. Morales is fighting to make money…I'm sure he or his trainers know they don't have a chance.
Morales doesn't need money(prince Albert) tee off? Please he throws 100 punches and lands 1 and thinks he's gonna win all his fights like that???? Well let's see I'll be very interested
I think Morales (one of my all time fav.), has a death wish, Maidana may be beateable, but the only way Erik beats him is if this fight took place ten years ago!

Being that a Tesla "store" rep introduced me that the Model S uses inverter coolant (brilliant!) as the heat source for the vehicle instead of electric heat, is there any experience with the heating system in the Model S? I live in a cold climate and there will be plenty of times where the car will cold soak outside un-plugged. How long does it take to feel the heating system to heat up the cabin? Does it ever really reach desired temperatures (unlike the Volt)? And does this car have a feature where if plugged in it will use outside power to get the cabin to desired temperature?
Two, I wish this forum had a search functionality so I can see if my questions have been previously answered.
Now I would like to introduce myself as new and possible prospect buyer to the Tesla brand. Live in NY and frequently travel to VT during the winter. I love everything Tesla stands for and really really hope the company succeeds.
Thank you
100Wh/mile at 55mph is 5.5kW. Kind of high power draw, but not impossible high.
Roadster manual says that you should plug in the car above 20C temperatures, charging or not charging, so Roadster at least does some temperature management without charging. If Model S doesn't do same I'm very surprised. It might be that it just let the battery temperature to drop very low, but not at damaging temperatures (Li-ion batteries like cold, it prolongs their life, but cold batteries performance is weak).
