If for eighteen years that's exactly what we've been doing we've been helping individuals like yourself. We're focused on retirement make better investment decisions that includes not just.

Maximize humor there income whether be from pensions or Social Security you know folks each week -- try to.

Dealt all round Social Security. A lot of people are worried about this and I don't blame them this is a huge topic because it might be the only pension any of us ever received. But if the decision if you work two juniors a longer you've got to make these decisions and I saw encourage you whether the. This is why I think this shows so important. Because so much of when it comes to investing. Is these kind of boilerplate solutions the pie chart that we -- the and they Qaeda. -- a lot of people similar that's the only way you conserve billions of people -- is kind of given similar solutions. But I'm gonna tell you that when it comes to retirement planning a -- especially to Social Security. What are your single married divorced or widowed. Of the earned a lot of earned a little -- it matters. And it comes -- I'll play Olympic and about today is the trump family. Donald Trump will no -- -- not just for being a billionaire. But he is also the very public celebrity lifestyle his children on TB his children are all grown. His public his personal life has also broadcast all over. Radio and TV is now eight. That was you married to famously married to a lot of trump. He also was primary tool on any Marla Maples as well as his current wife Milan Villa. Who's I think you miss universe contestant. And they have a little boy. By the way all four of them we're gonna kind of walked to the trump family and recognize the knowledge Donald but Obama. Marla and maligning all have some decisions to make -- accounts of security at each for each of them the answers different. That's exactly what I'm trying to showcase today folks. If you know someone. Who maybe has been married. Or divorce or maybe you yourself are considering a remarriage how many -- you listen to the show this to the show for you was we uncover some of these topics. In the meantime -- a kid again I'm an -- go to our website because there's often opportunity for social security and now this.

It's not one answer this to a three tournaments. And I wanna make sure you know before you make your next decision. You have -- least reduce the choices down to two or three different options and make sure you're getting the most. And maximizing with the securities available for you folks I'm glad you're here I'm excited about the show. In the meantime give us a call five -- to 78593. 76. We come back this talk about Donald Trump. What about those experiences for him. Retiring soon I think you have a number of critical decisions to make -- affect the rest of your life. Pension choices health insurance Social Security income strategies. Get your answers and plan started today decent pitching Sullivan at Belle haven well dot com. And tune in every weekend for retire said go. Here on talk thirteen seventy. Lots of money. Welcome back to retire should go -- exchanged -- once again use Shane welcome back. Talk thirteen seventy and mrs. retires that go. I'm your faithful hosts chain -- and I am a certified financial planner. Professional here Austin, Texas we also have offices down Harland and and McAllen -- I think you all or continue. Listen to the show reach out to us as both come visit us a lot of people about for planned. Are asked for specific. I'm solutions for what they're trying to the challenges that there they find in their own lives but we're dedicated help retirees make better decisions and today is no different. We're very excited talking about social security and I'll tell you as I watch shows like modern family -- just. Life I am constantly. A lot because -- kind of point that my wife you know that's exactly the situation we have here. Donald Trump is a great case study when it comes through some of the different decisions we have to make when it comes to Social Security. -- -- kind of step back and make sure we understand we all Hobson. Similarities to each of the characters or talk about this case that he first of all we're all eligible if you -- juniors or longer I'm on half. You're eligible for Social Security of your forty quarters. People are eligible for Social Security since as aged 62. And and that amount of money that you're eligible to receive will continue to go up until age seventy. The case of the Big Three numbers of people think about it 6266. That's which considered for terminates. Or you can continue to do -- for the defer and wait let that pension go hire a seventy that does not -- -- go up after seventies and no one -- that moment. And frankly few people wait that long anyway. So let's focus on this Donald as soon as he's eligible for Social Security just like the rest of if he had the -- show takes Social Security apple retirement age. Let's make the math easy let's call a thousand bucks a month 121000 dollars a year or city ticket early. He takes barely get to 25%. Erica. No pun intended for Donald Trump fence so he got seven or did you dollars a month which is 9000 dollars -- what would you choose which do you think about it. 9000 dollars a year it's 626360. Fours 65 that's would you rather have a 36000. Dollar head start. Or wait. And make 3000 dollars more a year starting age 66. A lot of people think your point about it of course it doesn't matter. I would tell you that a lot of people most Americans are particularly. -- hand mentality. And I'm I think that's right or wrong but for -- not right for everybody but I understand and because if you do decide to wait for a 66 or Donald way to 56. He won't breakeven on that wager until he's into his late seventies early -- So by the time he's maybe even -- makes 3000 dollars more a year it would take them long time to catch up with his younger self. Who took early with a 36000 dollar headstart right. But that's not all -- not to consider. You know he has been married before -- -- know the love we have on -- we all know of honesty is -- only just his ex wife but a public figure and successful in our own right. And he also remarried he married a woman named Marla Maples of course that marriage supports -- did not work out. And if I found true love I guess with his latest current wife Bonnie. Who the beautiful Milan Villa whose age 43. And they have a young child. Believe it -- -- famous parent and that an eight years old. Now a lot of people would immediately think that -- his work eligible for Social Security because she is 43 years old floor early. But they have a child. Because Donald a lot of people think about when I had some have to pass away like if I died in my younger children get some kind of Social Security benefits. Death. You don't have to the how to get that benefit. You're entitled to a child benefit as long as you have children eighteen or younger and your health -- and you yourself for eligible for Social Security. So Donald had a choice I could take it a 62 or 65 but might decide to go and get started now yet the considerable help with my child. Because as if if you wait too long and his child out of the house or over that magic age of eighteen. Then he no longer it's eligible for a child benefit. Acquitted only Malawi has also eligible for benefits by the way to tell benefited equaled it's as -- an amount equal to half this. Protect equal to half of his benefit that he's eligible for thousand dollars a month. Keep that the boy would get 500 bucks tick the 6000 dollars a year but thought checks covenant. Oh but I am because -- is the mom and she's a stay at home takes care of the child she's also eligible for a check even at the age of 43. As long as. The thought that their son is in the health update sixteen. He gets a little complicated but I -- encourage you I know allotted not a lot of dads. Who have kids in their -- that you've had children out the age of 44. That's essentially. You're very likely you consider to in my eligible for -- child benefit or even apparent benefit that's the case a moron yeah. So you can see right there that's not just develop me should I particularly should articulate. It's not here and I'm a vacuum the fact is that you have a lot of other people realize. I know a lot of people who work who have been married who have remarried. Maybe that does not matter that child is a step child adopted. It's also true for grandparents a lot of crap parents unfortunately. And up to be proud of that. Outside of the some tragedies that do happen to people but if you're a grandparent that means your old tool for social security and you are raising your grandchild. Did you know the Euro also probably eligible for another check. For the grandchild while there are eighteen or younger -- are still in school. Some folks that display you know that there's a lot to Social Security. And the guys were encouraging go to our website retire sec ago. Now is this podcast on there but there's articles and videos things that help you start to learn more about your options. Most importantly all I can give you on the show is a lot of ideas a lot of information. If you want real advice and encourage you. -- -- take advantage of our Social Security analysis it's free. That is my favor priced free audience to do -- ask him will be up to walked a couple of simple questions. Typically age when your benefit looks like and then some of the other family dynamics. We put together some solution to what I like about the analysis. It doesn't say this is what you should absolutely do. But it says here's to a three ideas maybe didn't consider here is your best to three choices out of 81 possibility. And help you start to make better decisions. Now we -- to begin the show that. You know Donald not the only character in the show a lot of clients through the Obama -- have a lot of clients -- the Marla Maples. So when we come. As we go do we get ready for the second figures show -- it's just -- they get about people in your own life saving you know some has been the worst. And they give let's listen the second segment shows that we can help them out as we come back we'll talk about Texas thousands and the benefits they deserve. For tires that go. Retiring soon I think you have a number of critical decisions to make -- affect the rest of your life. -- choices health insurance Social Security income strategies. Get your answers and plan started today decent pitching -- -- at Belle haven well dot com. And tune in every weekend for retire said go here on talk thirteen seventy. Welcome back to retire said. Go -- exchange Sullivan. Once again -- shame. What about folks is changed -- and you -- he retired -- I wanna remind you we're here every Sunday at 1 PM. Trying to help investors prepare for what I think to be one of the most exciting stays alive. Which -- retirement get some of these financial questions out of the way so we can go focus on the things that matter most. But some consulate reminded. That life is short you know we work work work. And it's by it's file your turn to go play I wanna make sure you go get the most out of that ambush in the Muslim. In order to really enjoy retirement you need to have some confidence. And yeah I mean she did I make sure the your finances are put into place put in place in such away that you have a confidence that you have income pro life. So you can go focused on being in that other person that fund guy. Fun woman go become a rider who has been touted her family go do all of these these are real idea that I hear from my client that I want you. Of course if you're gonna go do these things is critical over the money. And today we're gonna focus on Social Security you know as well the most misunderstood. Oddly it's the most misunderstood things that benefits that we all will enjoy. But it's the only -- many of us will ever receive but as today and America's we have the more modern family more more strategies. Are developing. -- make sure that we're thinking about them is that they may apply to you and the first segment so we talked about Donald Trump not Donald Trump has been married a couple times quite a character. And he's eligible he's got a lot of those criticisms the mic for his own life. But a lot of -- unique situations -- he's married to someone a little younger and they have a small child and helps. But let's not forget some of his ex wife's. The ex wife's clubs and can be expels club bottom serviceman or woman. The reality is he married a woman name of mono a mono was a model the Czech Republic she is an American. And she they had a number of the report children who are all adults now. Obama as well the -- the Marla Maples that -- call. Now first thing you understand is -- the cult of spousal benefit. -- -- -- -- married all without a decision to make when it comes time for return Social Security. I can take those security errors early 6270. Based on my own work credit whatever whatever money I put into the system. However if any of you are married you have a second option you can also take an amount equal to half. Of your spouse's benefit so that filed with eligible. Let's just say for 500 dollars a month. But half of my spouses checked. Amount of 600 -- I'll take my spousal benefit. That's important to know. I cannot tell you as the professional practitioner and Austin at least once a year -- me a sweet family. And there are married how we everything's going great. And she is not collecting her check and -- thinks she because she stayed on the raise the -- that one ever put money in the system. You're still eligible. For spousal benefit it is a matter. That he gets his full check and you get an amount equal to half. And that traditional case however a lot of people think well what happens when you divorced. Well in my maples case she was not married for ten years so she's. So. I hope we've got a good settlement but there is no Social Security benefits for Euro. And by the way when -- to benefit this does not reduce Donald Trump's benefit are any spells that it. This is that checked and -- another check -- that those cute administration. However a bottle was married for ten years of -- it is eligible for what's called an -- spousal benefit. It's really the same benefit that doesn't matter if you are married or not. If you were married for ten years Social Security Administration still. Gives you an option you can take your own Social Security based on your own work credits. But he can take it -- equal to half of your ex spouses. A lot of people don't know that. A lot of people walk away from a lot of money -- Or maybe they're settling for less because they didn't have a lot of years in the workforce so their check is smaller than that what they could be receiving. Now this is something here's the thing insisting though. A lot -- with a choice actually -- on it does have some Social Security benefits on our own -- -- as though branding agency she's. Amid branding line yes her own money so she has a choice should I take early 62. Think it for retirement 66 argued even a bigger check which -- 33% higher. At age seventy. What she can do is use in the color restricted application. Now that the dip -- word restrict application which basically says look. I'm gonna let my benefits continue to increase while I take my spousal benefit now in other words your family can stop the benefit from. Donald -- Which is equal to half of his checks that he's giving a thousand dollars. I'll take my 500 box and let my own benefit continue to increase and maybe claim that I can jump. Back over on my own letter like that that confused increased to amount I think it's great. Now always who has just that easy with Tucker well lot of options here but of unfortunately. A lot of remarried now that it's a little comic hero or relax a -- married twice humanity and -- Ricardo. Well I didn't last very long so she was off the -- you get remarried. You're no longer eligible for spousal benefits -- from your ex -- that ends and now you're kind of on a different. Family tree so to speak so you need to make a decision. Because. I actually Obama did the Federer merry that a third time. And this time I guess you marry for love because she -- someone for twenty years her hurt her junior. He's in his forties she's in her sixties. Obviously. This gentleman's not eligible for Social Security says she is no longer eligible for Donald Trump's ha -- -- equal to half with Donald trumps of security. And her current husband is that thousands of security at all and won't be for another twenty years -- ourselves. So she is only really left with her own options what she -- takes a secure our own. I say that because it it matters and I'll tell you what matters because I know a lot of a lot of people. Who are retired and considering a second marriage. Obviously there's lots of things that just happen to people as and they I know a lot of retirees who living communities with a lot of other retirees. And the fact is three marriages apart life. However I do think it's important if you know someone who's -- first -- divorce make sure they hear she knows that they're they have the house some additional write. The other benefits they may not be considering. But equally at they have considered those ideas they do know that there are eligible for additional check from the security. Make sure before they go get remarried. You know what those checks stop. Now offered the Obama -- he's a billionaire I don't think it matters you know I don't think she's really make an -- decisions based around. A thousand dollars or five dollars a month Social Security. She's in a different tax bracket. But for many view that might be a critical part of your income solution and I'm. Bombing -- trying to get into a moral discussion whether or not what you should do of course whether remarriage and for religious purposes. But I do worry about when it comes to making you offered to put together an income for life strategy. Before you go before your CI -- again you might want to make sure you've done -- full analysis done. I by all means I think there's a lot of benefits of marriage but I do wanna make sure that you understand it could cost you. Some do it could cost fewer cuts that would remove some of your options. That's one and encourage you go to our website retire Psycho there's a free analysis available to each and every one -- you. And it not just telling their decisions that I absolutely wrong but maybe two or three ideas you haven't considered yet. I'm also gonna encourage you want you there a lot of people including -- plummeted before Nancy with -- I. Stormy Chris are you lineman Keith I want to thank them those are from the Lakewood area.

Update: Did you catch last night's wink, illustrated above? Share your thoughts in the comments!
We're working with our friends on NBC's new drama Revolution to incorporate green elements — or "winks" — in every upcoming episode.
So, what's a wink? In this context, a wink may be a verbal and/or visual cue that touches on an environmental theme. Every Monday morning, our scientist Jeff Opperman will share a blog post that offers a hint regarding that night's wink.
The first airs tonight, and here's your hint. On Tuesday, we'll post an image revealing the wink, so check back with us tomorrow to see if you're correct!
Water and Power — that was a book I read in graduate school, and its title highlighted how, particularly in arid regions, controlling water was the key to economic and political power.
But as we recover from the most recent major storm, I'm reminded there's a much more literal interpretation of that phrase.
The electrical grid is the biggest and most complex machine ever created, and water-supply systems are also engineering miracles that do their job so well, so consistently — but almost invisibly — that most people have no idea how they work, or even where their water comes from.
But like our own bodies' great systems — say the circulatory and respiratory — electricity and water systems can't function without each other.
Scientists and policy makers have a term for this interdependency: the energy-water nexus.
In simple terms: for a species that tends to cluster in concentrated towns and cities, if we want water, we need power. And if we want power, we need water. (It also means that if we conserve electricity, we conserve water and vice versa).
That's why a drought can cripple energy generation, as rivers get so low they can't provide sufficient water to cool power plants. And that's why a huge storm that knocks out the power delivers the incongruous reality of water shortages amidst a world where water seems to be everywhere, turning city streets to rivers and turning rivers into raging torrents.
That's because when the power goes out, our intricate, and often overlooked, water-supply system can grind to a halt. We need electricity to pump water from the ground, move it from place to place, clean it, distribute it, and then clean it again when it flows into sewage-treatment plants. In California, the water-supply system uses twenty per cent of the state's total electricity consumption.
Natural disasters remind us of how valuable these interconnected systems are. Houses go dark and the taps go dry or deliver water that may not be safe. The media is awash with tips on how to deal with a shortage of clean water. These include boiling water, with the flame evoking people's original method of applying power to secure clean water.
Thankfully, for those of us in the United States, we generally experience only brief interruptions in water and power supply. But what about a world where water and power are not available, day after day, year after year?
That's the post-blackout world of NBC's Revolution, in which the characters struggle to secure sufficient supplies of clean water in a world without power. Revolution provides a thought experiment for water, stripping away the technology to reveal first principles: water comes from nature. In the absence of a functioning supply system, the healthiest water will come from land that is healthy — lakes, streams and rivers fed by water that filters through forests and deep soils.
It's not just a thought experiment. It's the reality for over a billion people in the world today. This reality also concentrates us on first principles — people need reliable water and energy to achieve health and security.
While the number "billion" may be dispiriting, this is an exciting time for progress and innovation. In regions without electricity, solar panels can be used to run water pumps; simple filtration systems can remove contaminants. These innovations can provide people with clean water long before electric grids and water utilities finally reach them.
Further, protecting the source of water—healthy forests and rivers — is gaining broader acceptance as the foundation of sustainable water management. The concept has deep roots — the Adirondack Park was originally established to protect the Erie Canal's source of water — but is now spreading across the developing world. In Latin America, The Nature Conservancy is promoting water funds, a financial mechanism through which the beneficiaries of clean water invest in the people and projects that maintain healthy sources of water.
In our interconnected world, taking care of nature is the foundation for ensuring clean water for the future. And because a healthy source and cleaner water means less treatment and filtration, this also saves energy.
Water and power.

Scott eyes first major title at the British Open
By Stanley Kosinski
GolfWRX Contributor
Adam Scott will take a four-shot lead into the final round of the British Open at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, positioning himself to become the 16th different major winner in the last 16 major tournaments.
Scott, 11-under, shot a 68 in Round 3. Trailing him is Graeme McDowell, who shot a 67 on Saturday, and second-round leader Brandt Snedeker who struggled with a 73.
McDowell, with solid play tee to green, is again heading into the final round of a major in second place and will play in the final pairing with Scott. Snedeker will be paired with Tiger Woods, who shot 70 in the third round. Woods continued to play conservatively in Round 3, but exhibited some loose iron play. Woods was also less sharp with the putter on Saturday than he was earlier in the week.
Snedeker, who hadn't made a bogey in his first 40 holes of the tournament, proceeded to drop six shots on the day.
Ernie Els and Zach Johnson both sit six shots back of Scott heading into the final round at 5-under.
Winds are projected to be 25 to 30 mph for Sunday, which will bring Lytham's nightmarish rough and bottomless bunkers into play — expect ball striking to be at a premium. It could turn into a war of attrition as the players trailing Scott may have to play more aggressively in order to catch him.

Pingback: Scott eyes first major title at the British Open | Golf
I hope Adam can get the job done. He's been my favourite golfer for the last 10 years. All of Australia is pulling for him.
He changed his preparation for the majors this year and it seems to be working well. He has a top 10 at the US Masters, top 15 at US Open and now most certainly at the worst a top 5 at the British.
Good luck tomorrow Adam!

The Manaphin -- April Fool's Day, 2014
Officials in St.Pete/Clearwater, Florida reported the sighting of a "manaphin" — a manatee-dolphin hybrid (scientific name Trichechus Dolphinium), long thought to be extinct. The rare creature was spotted by a kayaker as it poked its head above the water.
The officials explained that manaphins had long been known in Central and South America where they were called the delfin de la suerte (lucky dolphin) on account of an old legend that a glimpse of the mammal was considered to bring good luck. Charles Darwin reportedly sketched a manaphin while visiting the Galapagos in 1835.
A sketch of a manaphin, possibly by Charles Darwin
An accompanying website, manaphin.com, offered more information, including video of the manaphin off the coast of the Pinellas Peninsula (although many people reported having trouble getting the video to load).
The RealityUnfortunately the manaphin only exists in the imagination of the Pinellas tourism agency. However, the manaphin was selected by the Daily Telegraph as one of the top April Fool's Day pranks of 2014 from the travel industry. And ABC News praised it as one of the best April Fool business hoaxes of 2014.
The "video" of the manaphin was a joke, since there was no such video. The screen simply showed a loading symbol that circled endlessly.

Did you know watching the Super Bowl can actually reduce energy usage in your household?
OK, so the correlation may not be as simple as that, but Matthew Ewald of the New York Times cites some fun research from consulting firm Opower that claims the Super Bowl is an energy-saving touchdown. In a study involving 145,000 households, the firm found energy usage decreased as much as 7.7 percent (depending on location) compared to other Sundays in winter.
You might ask how that's possible considering most football fans like to perch themselves in front of a big-screen television, ideally with a surround-sound system rumbling and all manner of kitchen appliances deployed.
But here's another fact about football fans: they generally like to gather with friends and family for the big game. (Inhabitat's Morgana Matus cleverly calls it, "TV-pooling.") Not to mention, when the Super Bowl is on the television, all of those other energy-consuming chores like running like washer and drier or using the dishwasher are made to wait.
Matus writes,
"Opower measured 91,355 households in the West and 54,574 in the East. The lower usage rates were at halftime, where the average drop was around five percent. The total decrease of US home electricity was greater than 3 times the amount of energy consumed by all of the TVs watching the Super Bowl."
So, if you're looking for an excuse to host or attend a Super Bowl party this year, think of it this way — it's good for the environment!

Railroad Commission of Texas v. Pullman Company
From Wikisource
|Railroad Commission of Texas v. Pullman Company by
|Railroad Commission v. Pullman Co., 312 U.S. 496 (1941), was a case in which the United States Supreme Court determined that it was appropriate for United States federal courts to abstain from hearing a case in order to allow state courts to decide substantial Constitutional issues that touch upon sensitive areas of state social policy. — Excerpted from Railroad Commission v. Pullman Co. on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
United States Supreme Court
RAILROAD COMMISSION OF TEXAS v. PULLMAN COMPANY
Argued: Feb. 4, 1941. --- Decided: March 3, 1941
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Western District of Texas.
Mr. Cecil A. Morgan, of Fort Worth, Tex., for appellants, Cunningham et al.

Women who have delivered children often speak in reverent tones when describing their labor and delivery nurse. Besides actually helping a woman through the birthing process, labor and delivery nurses are the calming force in the labor room, providing emotional support for the mother and the fetus through delivery process.
What They Do
Essentially, labor and delivery nurses are the primary caretakers until the baby is ready to be delivered by the doctor. They may be required to administer medications, induce labor, monitor fetal heart rates, work with doctors to design an infant delivery plan and perform other similar tasks.
Education and Qualifications
A labor and delivery nurse is required to have an associate degree or a bachelor's degree in nursing, a valid Registered Nurse (RN) license and the appropriate certifications for neonatal care as required by employers.
Demand and Compensation
Like all nursing positions, labor and delivery nurses are in great demand. The U.S. Department of Labor projects that more than a million new and replacement registered nurses, including labor and delivery nurses, will be needed by 2016.
Median annual wages of registered nurses were $62,450 in May 2008, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The middle 50 percent of labor and delivery nurses earned between $51,640 and $76,570. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $43,410, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $92,240.
Labor & Delivery Nurses

i think the second one?
i'm just guessing
dont be mad if i'm wrong....
What is the best way to say this sentence:
He was pressed on charges or he was pressed with charges
i think the second one?
i'm just guessing
i'm no teacher and my english sucks
dont be mad if i'm wrong....
He was pressed on charges. He was pressed with charges.
Neither. Actually.
You'll usually here "pressing charges" as in "I'm pressing charges." Even "I pressed charges." But, your sentences would be much better if you replace "pressed on/ pressed with" with:
-Imprisoned: "He was imprisoned because of charges."
-Incarcerated: "Because of the charges against him, he'll be incarcerated."
-In prison/jail (You'll probably hear this more often than the two above.)
-Behind bars (This is newspaper slang for being in jail. People might say it, but unless you think you have a good command of the slang, you might not want to.

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
Texas Business reports: An Austin tech firm has accounted for all employees in Japan in the wake of the March 11 9.0 earthquake that struck Japan as well as the ensuing tsunami.
National Instruments has accounted for all employees working in and traveling to Japan, and its offices in Japan were undamaged.
The NI offices in Nagoya and Osaka are fully functional, and the NI Tokyo office is largely operational, with some employees working remotely.
"We are all saddened by the destruction and loss of life as a result of the earthquake and the Pacific tsunami that struck Japan on March 11," said NI chief executive James Truchard. "I would like to thank all of our employees in Japan for their strength and resilience and their continued support to our customers in the face of this crisis."
NI and its employees are assisting in the recovery efforts. NI made a contribution of $100,000 USD to the American Red Cross: Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Fund.
National Instruments designs, prototypes and deploys systems for measurement, automation and embedded applications. It sells to more 30,000 different companies worldwide. Headquarterd in Austin, NI has more than 5,000 employees and direct operations in more than 40 countries.
The Texas News Scrawl is a handy reference to stories Texas Business recommends from other news sources. Some of the stories that Texas Business currently suggests include: Texas regulators not aware of potential CFTC manipulation probe, Irving spends incentive dollars to lure two corporate headquarters and almost 2,000 jobs; Hotels, restaurant operators prep for record Final Four; Star-Telegram presses roll one last time; Robert Rodriguez breathes new life into an old vampire favorite; ClubCorp buys Prestonwood Country Club in Dallas and Plano; Office Depot overcharged Dallas by up to $3.6 million, city auditor finds; Texas power market monitor resigns amid unresolved reform debate; and more.

Good post Alive Guy. How in the hell could you ever conduct a double blind test? What would you control? What would be the experimental? We aren't testing for effects in humans and that is what you would use a double blind for. Seriously, what was your idea with a double blind test? I would love to know how you would set that up.
Perhaps give one batch of PF protein a placebo and another batch...ummmm....another scoop of protein....and then see....ummm...if the experimental group of protein gets sick? Oh, but what if the controlled group of PF protein has a placebo effect, and the protein starts to get regular headaches? Oh geez, but the experimental group of protein is getting headaches and the runs. Oh dear, oh dear...time for the document study!
Thought I would lighten things up.

Witness a transit of Venus! This section guides observers to observe the 2012 Transit of Venus safely. Feature topics include:
- Where to Be (and When)
- Safe Viewing Techniques
- Travel and http://www.animationnation.com/levitra-cheap-canada Tours
- Planning Community Transit of Venus Events
Where to Be (and When)
Whether and when you can see the 2012 transit of Venus depends on your location. Key highlights include the four "contacts" near the beginning and end of the transit when Venus appears to touch the edge of the sun. Most of North America sees the beginning of the transit in the afternoon and evening (find a clear western horizon!) on June 5, whereas much of buy discount cialis online Eurasia sees the end of the transit in the morning (find a clear eastern horizon!) on June 6.Click to access and enlarge PDF version of map showing visibility of 2012 transit of Venus. Courtesy of Fred Espenak (NASA GSFC), who provides additional transit of Venus data from NASA.
To see an animation of how the buy soft generic viagra cheapest sun appears at Region X, near Iceland, see http://youtu.be/3b7a_zXMnnU.
Time is of the Essence
The diagram (click for enlarged PDF version) shows the path of Venus across the sun and the contact times from an earth-centered perspective. However, from different locations on earth, the exact contact times vary by minutes or seconds. That slight difference in times is the essence of it's cool overnight cialis a transit's value, for it allowed astronomers to calculate the size of the solar system. The entire event takes about 6 hours 40 minutes. The times in the diagram are in Universal Time, or essentially Greenwich Time.
For simplicity, visit http://www.transitofvenus.nl/details.html, or select a nearby city from one of the Links: Where to Be.
So, is the transit of Venus visible June 5 or June 6?
It depends on your time zone. Generally, for the Americas where it is visible (blue colors on map below) the 2012 transit occurs the http://www.airatlanta.ie/levitra-non-prescription evening of Tuesday, June 5, 2012. For Eurasia and www.animationnation.com Africa where it is visible (sage colors on map), the latter part of the transit is seen the morning of June 6, 2012. Map courtesy of Steven van Roode.
[Note: Some confusion may arise from published tables with a title stating the 2012 transit of Venus is on June 6. By default, these tables are titled by the mid-transit point in Universal Time. Because the middle of look there cialis online usa the transit occurs just after midnight on June 6 in Greenwich Time (even though it's not visible then in Greenwich), the title nonetheless affirms June 6. ]
Six Ways to See the Transit of Venus
1 As suggested in the safety guidelines above, the use of eclipse shades or of #14 shade welding glass will permit a large number of people who do not have specialized equipment to observe this event. However, as the planet approaches the limb of the sun, subtleties like the "black drop" effect will not be discernible. At one minute of arc in size, Venus is near the visual limit of most people's eyes. It's tiny compared to the sun, which is about 32 arcminutes in diameter.
Eclipse Shades or Solar Shades appear similar to sunglasses, but they have a special filter that permits safe viewing if the viagra buy now filter is in new condition. Eclipse/solar shades are available through Rainbow Symphony and other retailers listed at http://www.mreclipse.com/Totality/TotalityApC.html under "Solar Filters." Before looking at the sun, inspect the material to make sure the lenses are not scratched or compromised in any way. If so, discard the shades.
Do not be lulled into thinking that you can look safely at the sun while wearing sunglasses, for sunglasses do not protect your eyes sufficiently. So don't try it!

2 Pinhole projectors are a safe, indirect viewing technique for observing an image of the sun. While popular for viewing solar eclipses, pinhole projectors suffer from the viagra on women same shortcomings as unmagnified views when Venus approaches the edges of the sun. Small features like the 'black drop' effect will not be discernible.
Dr. Hugh Hunt demonstrates a successful pinhole projection (right) of the 2004 transit of Venus at http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~hemh/transit.htm. Additional instructions for pinhole projectors are at http://www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse/how.html; from the Exploratorium.
3 You may project a magnified view of the sun through a reflector telescope or binoculars onto a white surface, which conveniently allows a larger number of people to watch concurrently. See http://casa.colorado.edu/~dduncan/wp/?page_id=261 for video instructions for projecting the sun, by Dr. Doug Duncan.
The projection technique sometimes has its own limitations. Because magnified projections usually have an exposed focal point beyond the eyepiece, a bystander can inadvertently put her eye or body in the sight line of the sun. Hence, a projecting telescope must not be left unattended. (See Unattended Equipment Hazards, left column.) Large reflector telescopes can generate too much heat by concentrating a lot of the sun's energy on the secondary mirror and eyepiece, so the incoming light must be attenuated first. "Stop down" the aperture. Likewise, SCT or Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes can experience too much heat build-up as the light bounces internally.
Hubert van Hecke provides the design and instructions for making his sunspotter. Additional pages at his Ask Mr. Science web page indicate how to take sunspot data and analyze them.
The Exploratorium demonstrates how to view a planet in transit safely by projecting the image of the sun with binoculars. Important: Do not look at the sun through binoculars without solar filters on the large ends of both the barrels. Do not leave this rig unattended.
4 A method for allowing a large crowd to witness the transit of Venus concurrently is to project a magnified image through a closed-loop device.
A popular projection device used during the http://supportmichaelocc.ca/super-cialis 2004 transit of Venus was the now-improved Sun Funnel. Made from simple materials (a plastic funnel, a clamp, an eyepiece, and some projection fabric), the device fits in your telescope like an eyepiece with an appendage. A clear image of Venus transiting the sun appears on the screen. Because the entire light path is enclosed, observers are not at risk. A larger version of the screen uses a bucket to yield a larger image. Download simple instructions and supplies list written by AAS Press Officer Richard Tresch Fienberg.
Bruce Hegerberg's design for a Sun Gun is online at www.sunguntelescope.com.
Another viewing tool is Gene Zajac's modified version of a Sun Gun (see 1999 GLPA Proceedings). The device safely allows a crowd of http://www.tenasys.com/best-cialis spectators to view a large projection of the sun, the transiting planet, and sunspots.
TIP: To avoid excessive heat build-up on your eyepiece, do not aim the telescope continuously at the sun for an extended time. For large scopes, stop down or attenuate the incoming light, for the telescope's purpose is to magnify the image of the sun, not to gather a lot of sunlight.
The Sunspotter is commercially available from Science First. It provides a surface on which you can safely trace the sun's outline and sunspots onto a piece of paper.
TheVenuscope and www.aagon.de solar shades are commercially available from SODAP-SOBOMEX- Department Sky & Space.
A Solarscope is commercially available from [Light Tec Optical Instruments]
The transit of Venus is perhaps best when viewed directly when magnified, which demands an appropriate solar filter over the http://www.wowgraphicdesigns.com/free-cialis large end of the telescope. Often made of glass or Mylar, these "white light" filters block about 99.99% of the incoming sunlight, which allows the eyepiece then to magnify the image. A filtered, magnified view will show the sun (either blue or orange), the planet Venus, the "black drop" effect, and sunspots. See Solar Filters or http://skyandtelescope.com/observing/objects/sun/article_101_1.asp for a list of retailers.
Note #1: The sun's immense energy must be drastically reduced before it enters the telescope. Do not use small filters that fit over the eyepiece (as found in some older, cheaper telescopes), for the concentrated sunlight can shatter them.
Note #2: Remove unfiltered finder scopes so they are not inadvertently accessed. Do not rely on a lens cap--even if it is taped on--to keep the eyes of a prying person at bay. (See Unattended Equipment Hazards in left column.)
Special telescopes with built-in hydrogen-alpha filters show additional solar features, such as the sun's surface granulation and prominences extending outward into space. Though more expensive than traditional telescopes, they offer wonderful views of the magnified sun not seen by astronomers in previous centuries.

Viewing the Transit & Eye Safety
B. Ralph Chou, MSc, OD
Associate Professor, School of Optometry, University of Waterloo
[See also http://youtu.be/4RGr9FcBrSM for talk at 2012 Symposium at University of Toronto.]
Watching the http://www.supplychaincanada.com/100mg-cialis profile of Venus as it passes across the Sun during a transit is a wonderful demonstration of the way the solar system works. Over the course of several hours, Venus traces a path across the disk of the Sun, then leaves, in what can be thought of as an extreme example of an annular eclipse of the Sun.
Observing the Sun, however, can be dangerous if the proper precautions are not taken. The solar radiation that reaches the surface of Earth ranges from ultraviolet (UV) radiation at wavelengths longer than 290 nm, to radio waves in the metre range. The tissues in the eye transmit a substantial part of the radiation between 380–400 nm to the light-sensitive retina at the back of the eye. While environmental exposure to UV radiation is known to contribute to the accelerated aging of the outer layers of the eye and the development of cataracts, the primary concern over improper viewing of the Sun during the transit is the development of "solar retinopathy" or retinal burns.
Exposure of the retina to intense visible light causes damage to its light-sensitive rod and cone cells. The light triggers a series of complex chemical reactions within the cells which damages their ability to respond to a visual stimulus, and in extreme cases, can destroy them. The result is a loss of visual function, which may be either temporary or permanent depending on the severity of the damage. When a person looks repeatedly, or for a long time, at the Sun without proper eye protection, this photochemical retinal damage may be accompanied by a thermal injury—the high level of visible and near-infrared radiation causes heating that literally cooks the exposed tissue. This thermal injury or photocoagulation destroys the very good site where to get cialis rods and cones, creating a small blind area. The danger to vision is significant because photic retinal injuries occur without any feeling of pain (the retina has no pain receptors), and the visual effects do not become apparent for at least several hours after the damage is done (Pitts 1993). Viewing the Sun through binoculars, a telescope, or other optical devices without proper protective filters can result in immediate thermal retinal injury because of the high irradiance level in the magnified image.
Because the apparent diameter of Venus is only 1/30 that of the Sun, there is never a time during the transit when it is safe to look at it without proper eye protection. Failure to use proper observing methods may result in permanent eye damage and severe visual loss. This can have important adverse effects on career choices and robert-alonso-photos.com earning potential, because it has been shown that most individuals who sustain solar retinopathy eye injuries are children and young adults (Penner and McNair 1966, Chou and Krailo 1981, and Michaelides et al. 2001).
The same techniques for observing the Sun outside of eclipses are used to view and photograph the transit (Sherrod 1981, Pasachoff 2000, Pasachoff and Covington 1993, and Reynolds and Sweetsir 1995). The safest and www.way2age.com most inexpensive method is by projection. A pinhole or small opening is used to form an image of the Sun on a screen placed about a metre behind the opening. Binoculars or a small telescope mounted on a tripod can also be used to project a magnified image of the Sun onto a white card. All of these methods can be used to provide a safe view of the transit to a group of observers, but care must be taken to ensure that no one looks through the device. The main advantage of the projection methods is that nobody is looking directly at the Sun. The disadvantage of the pinhole method is that the screen must be placed at least a metre behind the opening to get a solar image with a silhouetted disk of Venus that is large enough to be easily seen.
The Sun can only be viewed directly when filters specially designed to protect the eyes are used. Most of these filters have a thin layer of chromium alloy or aluminum deposited on their surfaces that attenuates both visible and near-infrared radiation. A safe solar filter should transmit less than 0.003% (density ~4.5) of visible light and no more than 0.5% (density ~2.3) of the near-infrared radiation from 780–1400 nm. (In addition to the term transmittance [in percent], the energy transmission of a filter can also be described by the term density [unitless] where density, d, is the common logarithm of the reciprocal of transmittance, t, or d=log10[1/ t]. A density of '0' corresponds to a transmittance of 100%; a density of '1' corresponds to a transmittance of 10%; a density of '2' corresponds to a transmittance of 1%, etc.). Figure 1 shows transmittance curves for a selection of safe solar filters (Chou 1981, 1998). The "safe" zones of the plot are transmittance levels less than 0.0001 between 200 and 780 nm (above the eatingdisorderrecovery.com 1E-04 line in the graph) and transmittance levels less than 0.001between 780 and 1400 nm (above the 1E-03 line in the graph). The longer infrared between 1400 and 2500 nm does not get past the tears and front of the eyeball, so is not a problem.

What is the treatment for diverticulitis and diverticulosis?
Treatment for diverticulitis and diverticulosis include medications to treat abdominal pain due to muscle spasms, oral antibiotics for infection, and liquid or low fiber foods when having a acute attacks of diverticulitis.
Medical treatment of diverticulitis and diverticulosis
Most patients with diverticulosis have minimal or no symptoms, and do not require any specific treatment. A normal fiber diet is advisable to prevent constipation and perhaps prevent the formation of more diverticula.
Patients with mild symptoms of abdominal pain due to muscular spasm in the area of the diverticula may benefit from anti-spasmodic drugs such as:
- chlordiazepoxide (Librax),
- dicyclomine (Bentyl),
- atropine, scopolamine, phenobarbital (Donnatal), and
- hyoscyamine (Levsin).
When diverticulitis occurs, antibiotics usually are needed. Oral antibiotics are sufficient when symptoms are mild. Some examples of commonly prescribed antibiotics include:
- ciprofloxacin (Cipro),
- metronidazole (Flagyl),
- cephalexin (Keflex), and
- doxycycline (Vibramycin).
Learn more about: Cipro | Flagyl | Keflex | Vibramycin
Liquid or low fiber foods are advised during acute attacks of diverticulitis. This is done to reduce the amount of material that passes through the colon, which at least theoretically, may aggravate the diverticulitis. In severe diverticulitis with high fever and pain, patients are hospitalized and given intravenous antibiotics. Surgery is needed for patients with persistent bowel obstruction or abscess not responding to antibiotics.
Surgical treatment for diverticulitis
Diverticulitis that does not respond to medical treatment requires surgical intervention. Surgery usually involves drainage of any collections of pus and resection (surgical removal) of the segment of the colon containing the diverticula, usually the sigmoid colon. Surgical removal of the bleeding diverticulum also is necessary for those with persistent bleeding. In patients needing surgery to stop persistent bleeding, it is important to determine exactly where the bleeding is coming from in order to guide the surgeon.
Sometimes, diverticula can erode into the adjacent urinary bladder, causing severe recurrent urine infection and passage of gas during urination. This situation also requires surgery.
Sometimes, surgery may be suggested for patients with frequent, recurrent attacks of diverticulitis leading to multiple courses of antibiotics, hospitalizations, and days lost from work. During surgery, the goal is to remove all, or almost all, of the colon containing diverticula in order to prevent future episodes of diverticulitis. There are few long-term consequences of resection of the sigmoid colon for diverticulitis, and the surgery often can be done laparoscopically, which limits post-operative pain and time for recovery.

WELLS, Minn. (AP) - As work begins to demolish the Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis, hundreds of its blue stadium seats will be recycled by a small school district in southern Minnesota.
The United South Central School District is building a new K-12 school for its 630 students. With a tight budget, there wasn't enough money for any extras at its new football field. And that's where several local businesses and the reclaimed seats come into play.
KMSP-TV reports Wells Concrete is donating the material and labor to create a permanent, stadium-type seating structure at the new football field. When the district looked at seating options, $40 for a Metrodome seat seemed like a good deal. So the district scooped up 840.
School board member John Feist says it's "pretty neat" that the entire structure will be filled with Metrodome seats.

Ethnic cleansing, genocide - some of the words applied to the ongoing violence in the Central African Republic (CAR).
CAR is a poverty stricken country at the epicentre of continental instability, surrounded as it is by Sudan, South Sudan, the DR Congo, the Congo, Chad and Cameroon.
Hundreds of people have been killed and tens of thousands driven from their homes in what on the face of it is a political struggle that has assumed strongly religious overtones.
The international community and international media focus specifically on the religious dimension of the conflict in CAR. We look at the real sources of the conflict ... Bad governance, poverty and unequal access to power that led to frustration among some of the sons of this country.
Catherine Samba-Panza, the president of CAR
On the one side of the conflict is the predominantly Muslim Seleka group, which was part of a rebellion that ended in a peace deal a year ago. On the other side is the Christian anti-Balaka militia that seized back control of large parts of the country following the collapse of the peace agreement.
Christians comprise some 50 percent of the population, while Muslims make up only 15 percent.
In the middle of the warring parties is the country's new President Catherine Samba-Panza, the former mayor of the capital Bangui, who less than a month ago was asked to form a transitional power sharing government.
"There have never been problems of a religious nature in CAR," President Samba-Panza tells Al Jazeera.
"The international community and international media focus specifically on the religious dimension of the conflict in CAR. We look at the real sources of the conflict. They are not religious, they are different. Bad governance, poverty and unequal access to power that led to frustration among some of the sons of this country," she says.
Only the third woman president in Africa, she is regarded as a neutral by most parties in the conflict, and has the full backing of the United Nations, the African Union and France.
There are at present 4.600 African peacekeeping troops in place, along with 1,500 French soldiers - numbers that she insists are woefully insufficient to separate the warring sides.
"Clearly these troops aren't enough to bring back peace in Bangui; or the country," she says.
"We believe that the troops on the ground need to be reinforced. Not only with CAR national defence and security forces but also with the help of the UN through peace keeping operations."
This week, Catherine Samba-Panza paid her first state visit to the neighbouring Republic of Congo - and after a meeting with President Denis Sassou N'Guesso in Brazzaville sat down to talk to Al Jazeera about the conflict, and what is needed to end it.

McGuire Center Mentor Helps Kyrgyzstan Jewelers
Jewelers from Kyrgyzstan were in Tucson in
part to visit the internationally acclaimed
Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.
Image courtesy Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.
Mentors with the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship are accustomed to fielding inquiries from area entrepreneurs who are seeking resources to get their ventures off the ground. But in February, mentor-in-residence Jim Jindrick and a trio of students hosted a workshop for entrepreneurs from farther afield — Kyrgyzstan, to be exact.
As part of a partnership between the Community Connections Program of the U.S. Agency for International Development and International Training & Consulting Inc. (ITCI), a group of ten jewelry industry professionals from Kyrgyzstan came to the U.S. for a three-week cultural exchange.
The group visited Albuquerque and northern Arizona as well as Tucson, where they attended the annual gem and mineral show. The aim of the trip was to learn about new jewelry-making technologies, observe successful jewelry fairs, and network with American counterparts.
"There's a lot of interest from other countries about conducting business in the United States," says Jindrick, who hosted a workshop in January for a group of travel industry professionals from Kazakhstan, also through ITCI. "They're looking to establish partnerships with local companies and develop marketing and sales channels in the U.S."
"I contributed to the workshops by researching material on-the-fly as the conversation necessitated, while Jim led the discussion, focusing mainly on researching trade associations that operate in the jewelry industry on a national and international level," says Nathan Canright, (BSBA Business Economics and Entrepreneurship '10). "I was not at all familiar with the structure of the industry, so I was pressed to quickly familiarize myself with it in order to conduct effective research."
Canright helped in a similar capacity in Jindrick's earlier workshop. "While the focus of the Kyrgyzstan workshop was a bit different, I learned some interesting things about how to teach the entrepreneurial process, and how it can be applied to all different types of new-venture situations," he says. "Regardless of whether or not Jim knew about their industry, he was able to lead them through an effective discussion on formulating a business plan, market entry strategies, etc. The process is applicable in almost any entrepreneurial venture."
McGuire Center mentor-
in-residence Jim
Jindrick also hosted a
workshop in January
for a group of travel
industry professionals
from Kazakhstan.
"It's definitely interesting to see how the basic principles of entrepreneurship apply to a specific field," says Nathan Christensen, who came to the UA for the entrepreneurship program after earning his MFA in musical theater writing from New York University. "Because the visitors from Kyrgyzstan are jewelers, and because they have a certain business environment in their country, their needs and concerns are quite different from my own. But they still build on the same framework of solving customer needs and creating innovation." Christensen says his goal is to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the theater industry. "If these principles can help them, I know they can do the same for my projects."
"The Kyrgyzstani businesspeople are concerned about their biggest competitor in the jewelry industry, which is Turkey," says Hannasela Brakey (BSBA Marketing and Entrepreneurship '10). "Jim taught them to not fear the competition, but rather learn from what they do and do it better."
"There was a lot of concern expressed about the lack of intellectual property protection in Kyrgyzstan," Christensen adds. "I assumed that protecting IP was one of the roles of a government. It's hard to imagine working in an environment where any design you create could be duplicated by anyone else, and probably for less money because they didn't have the expense of designing it in the first place."
