Report author Arialdi Minino, a statistician at the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, Division of Vital Statistics, Mortality Statistics Branch, called infant mortality "an important barometer of overall health standards and health services delivery."
"So it went from [6.75] to 6.59 infant deaths per 1,000 live births," he said. "It's pretty significant. The decrease was more substantial for the black population, where it went down 4.2 percent."
Minino said the report was not designed to uncover the reasons for changes in overall mortality rates. He said the rise in deaths from chronic lower respiratory diseases should be taken with a grain of salt because the World Health Organization has changed its definition of the condition, which could account for some of the increase, he said.
Commenting on the report, Dr. William O'Neill, executive dean of clinical affairs at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, said that "the fact that stroke fell from the third-leading cause of death is great news. It really suggests that a lot of the public action campaigns led by the American Heart Association have borne fruit."
There also have been some dramatic advances in stroke therapy, he said, adding, "That may be translating into lower mortality rates."
Still, O'Neill thinks the drop in life expectancy could be the start of a trend. "It is alarming that this is the first time in the last 25 years that there has actually been a decline," he said.
The increase in life expectancy between 1960 and 2000 was remarkable and related to less smoking, better control of blood pressure and advances in heart disease management, O'Neill said.

Need a job please help
Hi Ladies, I don't know where to turn. I quit my job the beginning of 2014 to care for myself after I was in a car wreck and to help my disabled son; we are also victims of dometic abuse. State denied me unemployment, food stamps, and any assistance. I had doctor's who sent me back to work after my car accident and did not put me on disability. I have a small event planning business which I love, but is not supporting us at this time. I need help to find a job near Philadelphia soon or my son and I might lose our home. Any advice would be appreciated. I am a college grad. Have had a few interviews but no real offers. Open to part-time or full-time jobs in legitimate businesses. Thank you.
What kind of work are you looking for? Just from this post, you seem pretty bright. I have a business I run out of my home part-time (in addition to my CPA firm) that I could show you about. It enabled me to leave my old CPA firm the first of the year and go out on my own without worrying about losing the money from the "job". I hope you are able to find something soon!
Are you interested in working from home? I share on Facebook and make money there. It's not enough yet for me to quit my main job, but I am almost to the point of it matching what I make. Eventually I'll be surpassing it and able to quit and just work completely from home.
I share Plexus with people by posting Before and After pictures of the great results people are having. The most famous Plexus products are a weight loss combo (Plexus Slim and Accelerator) that people are also finding helps to regulate blood sugar, if needed. What I do is very low key and I don't "sell" persay, but just share a testimony or picture here and there and if people are interested in learning more they contact me. I also get paid on everyone on my team, which is about 80 people so far, and so my income grows every month! I've never had a month my income has not grown, and It's residual.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in hearing more about, you can email me at email@example.com.
I've been able to help lots of moms do the same thing I am doing, and helping them stay home with their kids. As a single mom, I understand the struggle moms who are doing it all on their own face.
You already have a business you love, nothing could be better than that! Is there any way to market it differently or join the local Chamber of Commerce? What is your degree in?

Hi Spirit Heart,
Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. Yes, I do feel that it is the best loving what I do, but I have quite a bit of debt that needs to be paid as well as the current bills. So a second job is definitely in order. I will consider the local chamber as well as some local business associations though, thanks for the suggestion. I have degrees in Music and Biology.
I feel like you can do something with your music degree right now. Can you teach music lessons on the side? You can market that to local mom's groups, ask schools if you can teach music to kids after school, go to the parks and rec department in your town to teach an intro to music class.

Samsung takes aim at enterprise with "Safe"
For a while, there were rumors swirling that Samsung could purchase RIM in an effort to leverage the BlackBerry technology in the enterprise market, but today at CES, Samsung explained a bit on why it never made that deal. Samsung has announced Samsung for Enterprise, which has been branded with the name "Safe".
Well before Samsung got to this part of its press conference today, Tim Baxter, president of Samsung Americas, said, "The Bring Your Own Device trend has come to a tipping point." This seemed to be a direct shot at BlackBerry, by saying that selling directly to enterprise is a dead trend, and that today, employees simply use the smartphone they already own for their business communication. During the actual announcement of Samsung Safe, this trend was referred to as the "consumerization of enterprise".
Apparently, Samsung Safe will be a framework to offer corporate e-mail, calendar, and contacts, on-device encryption of data, virtual private networks, and mobile device management. The announcement ended Samsung's CES press conference, and we expect to learn more about Safe over the next few days.

This is just a rebranding of the original "Samsung Approved for Enterprise (SAFE)," which was launched October 2011, then reiterated at last year's CES.

The vid starts off with Taio and Kylie involved in a bit of a nighttime car chase. They eventually wind up in a parking garage, where a backing band plays and a pack of lingerie-clad babes strut around.
The pop pair engage in some light dirty dancing before Kylie decides to hit the road again. Sorry, Taio—maybe try to aim even higher next time?

These lightweight ghosts are right at home in a haunted house, flying from a tree or standing on a porch or patio to greet trick-or-treaters.
If you want to hang your ghosts from a tree or porch, you can make half figures which are just the torso, head and legs. You'll leave the fabric long so it billows in the breeze.
If you want a full-size standalone ghost, you'll need to add the legs and skirt to the figure.
Wear protective gloves and cut a 24-inch length of chicken wire from a 1-inch (cell) roll of chicken wire.
Bend chicken wire over a head form or use human head-sized ball like a basketball. Bend the excess wire towards the back. Form a rough neck shape. Remove the head form and reshape as needed. Set wire head aside for later.
The torso will consist two pieces; an inner and outer to give the ghost figure extra support.
For the outer torso piece, cut a 40-inch piece of chicken wire out of the 1-inch cell. To create the torso cylinder, overlap ends and twist. The tube cylinder is 24 inches high. Pinch cells to form waist and shoulder points (below, left).
Create an inner torso cylinder out of the 2-inch cell chicken wire (below, right). Make the diameter smaller than the outer piece at its small point.
Fit the inner torso piece into the outer torso. Use scrap pieces of wire to hold the two pieces together.
All fields are required.

3 Regional Bank Stock Best Bets From KBW
U.S. Bancorp
Shares of U.S. Bancorp (USB) of Minneapolis closed at $31.59 Tuesday, returning 18% year-to-date, following a 2% return during 2011.
The shares trade for 2.9 times tangible book value and for 111 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $2.96. The high valuation to book reflects the company's very strong earnings relative to peers, with quarterly returns on average assets steadily increasing from 1.38% to 1.62%, during 2011.
The company on March 14 announced that it would increase its quarterly dividend to 19.5 cents from 12.5 cents, and that its board of directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 100 million common shares. Based on the new dividend payout, the shares have a dividend yield of 2.47%.KBW on Wednesday raised its price target for USB by two dollars to $37, while also raising its first-quarter EPS estimate by a penny to 65 cents. The firm also raised its 2012 EPS estimate by two cents to $2.77, while leaving its 2013 estimate unchanged, at $3.15. The 2012 estimates were increased "primarily to reflect stronger mortgage banking revenues," and KBW added that "the largest risk to our price target is the flattening of the yield curve and the pressure on net interest margins."

Amazed this hasn't got its own thread.
Anyway, for those who already have it,there is a free update available for The Room that adds an extra chapter to the game.
The Room
Pageof 1
Yeah I played the epilogue recently. Love this game. Makes great use of touch screen play.
Can't wait for the sequel.
Is it OK on a mobile screen or does it need a bigger "pad" one?

Pretty sure I played through this a while back - it was mentioned in the Android App and Game Review thread.
Is it a bit like Myst and Traitors Gate?
If you can read this you really need to fiddle with your forum settings.
Not played either of those.
But it's a puzzle game based in a single room - you are unlocking an artefact by rotating it and interacting with it. Once you unlock the first one, you then find a second, possibly in a different room... (it's a while since I played)
It's a single puzzle box that keeps changing from level to level. *Really* enjoyed the first part and my daughter's gutted that I don't have a tablet or phone anymore as she's been dying to play the follow-up for ages
Tom's review explains it well.

I really enjoyed this, shame it's so short. I look forward to getting round to playing the expansion.
mowgli wrote: I thought the 1 married the .2 and founded Islam?
The epilogue is about as difficult as the later puzzles in the original game. Loads of fun still.
I can't help they have missed a trick with the story. The game itself is incredibly atmospheric yet I found the story to be completely incoherent. Still it takes nothing away from the game. Great fun for the price.
@X201 I bought it (it was only 7SEK (<1GBP)) so silly to hesitate really.
Loving it. I'm not as brilliant as I thought, which in this case is a good thing as it will make it last.
For people liking this I can heartily recommend the old PC classics
Safe Cracker
Traitors Gate
They must be available for emulation. Myst in particular should be mandatory for people to play due to its historical importance. It even had a spoof game made.
If you can read this you really need to fiddle with your forum settings.
@Rhythm No tablet or phone? How can you not have a phone? (Nexus 4 is cheap as chips at the moment)
If you can read this you really need to fiddle with your forum settings.
@Tonka I have a phone, just not a touchscreen nonsense device. Sold my Galaxy Note in April to go back to Symbian. Prior to that I tried iOS (iPhone and iPad), Windows Phone and other Android phones but they were all tosh
Edited by Rhythm at 13:06:30 05-09-2013
I thought I was extreme with my measly 10month experience of "smart"phones. Would not want to go back though. Mostly because I suck at T9 and really enjoy G+.

This was tremendous on the iPad but once I'd finished it I left it on there for months hoping for some DLC to play more of it, but when none came I deleted it. And the following month there was news of DLC for those who'd finished.
Does that mean I need to replay the whole thing to get to the new bit? And is the new bit worth it?
I'll say again though, brilliant game.
Any Netflix library in the world for a couple of quid a month? Gimme!
I think you can play it without having finished the game. It popped up on the menu screen on Android.

Attorney General: Asks court to rule NH can regulate 'push polls' in federal elections
The Attorney General's Office's decision to appeal is significant because campaigns for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House are gearing up as 2014 nears.
The law requires those making the push poll calls to disclose to those being called that the call "is being made on behalf of, in support of, or in opposition to a particular candidate for public office, identify that candidate by name and provide a telephone number from where the push-polling is conducted."
Attorney General Joseph Foster continued the state's pursuit of the Bass case after succeeding Michael Delaney earlier this year.
Since it is not, the AG's office said, "the trial court was not free to set aside the statute."The Attorney General also took issue with the superior court's finding that push polling is a campaign expenditure, which are subject to federal regulation.

Lake Victoria Reports Progress At Kinyambwiga Gold Project Tanzania, East Africa
(LVCA:OTCBB) Lake Victoria Mining Company is pleased to provide an update on the progress of acquiring a Mining License for its open pit gold mining project near the town of Bunda in northern Tanzania. On Friday, August 2 nd the Company completed and filed with the Tanzanian government the required Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Report (ESIA). Acceptance of the ESIA report is necessary before the government can move towards awarding a mining license.
TANSHEQ, an experienced Tanzanian consulting firm specializing in environmental management, was awarded the contract to complete the Environmental Impact Assessment study for an open pit gold mine at Kunanga 1 (K-1), a location within the larger Kinyambwiga project area (Refer to Press Release 19th December 2012).
Field work by TANSHEQ commenced immediately, and by March 2013 a Baseline study and a preliminary Environmental Impact Assessment report was completed and submitted to the Tanzanian Government's National Environmental Management Council (NEMC). Based upon this report, NEMC conducted a field investigation in May 2013; during this investigation, both environmental and social aspects of the project were discussed with local and government stakeholders. Various issues were resolved which led to finalizing technical requirements contained in the draft report.
During this time, the Company met with the Ministry of Mines, Environment, Lands and Water and with local inhabitants who might be affected by the project. After many meetings with the government's District representatives, the village council and the inhabitants, the majority stakeholders voted in favor of the planned project.Additional Property The Company, through its 100 percent owned Tanzanian subsidiary, has applied and been granted an additional 15 Primary Mining Licenses (PML's), adjoining and covering the area immediately south and north of the current 24 PML boundary. These 15 additional PMLs include at least 2 new gold occurrences known as Kunanga 2 (K-2) and 3 (K-3). The area enclosed within the Company's PML's now totals 3.44 square kilometers, and will support conditions and terms within the ESIA report as well as requirements for a Mining License application.

Jameson Van Houten of the Stonegate Financial Group knows that it is never too late to start learning and implementing good financial planning habits. Though it is recommended that individuals start planning for the future as soon as possible, there are many things that people can do today that will lead to a brighter tomorrow.
1. Maximize your benefits.
If your employer offers a 401(k) savings plan, you're lucky! Consider taking full advantage of this by maximizing the amount of money that is placed into this account. Many employers will even match what you put into your savings, making it an even better resource for retirement funds.
2. Keep some cash reserves on hand and build them up.
Ideally, the financial planners at Stonegate Financial Group share that individuals should try to have three to six months of their normal income saved up in a rainy-day fund. This can really come in handy if unexpected expenses pop up, or if a person loses their job, etc. This money can be saved as cash, so that it is liquid and does not accrue any penalties.

Storms leave thousands without power in Northwest Indiana
By Michelle L. Quinn Post-Tribune correspondent July 1, 2014 12:04AM
Related Stories
The second round of storms that tore through Northwest Indiana produced 86 mile-an-hour winds and many power outages, officials said.
Northern Indiana Public Service Co. listed 42,734 outages as of 11:30 p.m. Monday night, with "the numbers continuing to rise," NIPSCO Spokesperson Nick Meyer said. The utility anticipated earlier in the day there was going to be issues and dispatched additional service crews and customer service representatives to help.
"We're right in the thick of it now," Meyer said Monday night. "All we can tell people right now is to continue reporting outages and to stay away from any downed tree limbs or power lines. People tend to think they're not live, but always assume they are."
The City of Hammond was hit the hardest, with 7,878 structures without power; followed by Gary with 6, 187 and Crown Point with 4,086. Lowell, Merrillville, Valparaiso and Whiting also experienced significant outages, according to the website
National Weather Service Chicago Forecast Office Meteorologist Mark Ratzer said he couldn't confirm there was an actual tornado touchdown. There were, however, 86 mile-an-hour winds and circular cloud movement in the area.
"We issued a tornado warning for parts of Jasper and Porter Counties at 10:56 p.m.," Ratzer said. "Generally, if there's significant damage, we'll send people out to investigate, and if things are patterned in a rotation versus a flat-line, we can pretty much tell what happened."
The Lake County Sheriff's Office had no tornado reports but many reports of water and power outages. And the town of Griffith reported no major flooding but several downed trees and many downed branches.
"Our engineers will do an assessment in the morning to evaluate how well the new porous alleys controlled the stormwater," Griffith Town Council President Rick Ryfa said.

WAS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF (I) SUBDIVISION D OF SECTION FIVE 9 HUNDRED FOUR OF THIS ARTICLE, (II) SUBDIVISION C OF SECTION FIVE HUNDRED 10 FOUR-A OF THIS ARTICLE, OR (III) SUBDIVISION C OF SECTION FIVE HUNDRED 11 FOUR-B OF THIS ARTICLE PRIOR TO HIS OR HER RETIREMENT, SUBSEQUENT TO THE 12 DATE AS OF WHICH HE OR SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ELIGIBLE FOR SERVICE RETIRE- 13 MENT. 14 S 2. This act shall take effect immediately. FISCAL NOTE.-- Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50: PROVISIONS OF PROPOSED LEGISLATION: This proposed legislation would amend Retirement and Social Security Law ("RSSL") Section 507-a to add a new Subdivision f to remove restrictions on the earnings from employment in the private sector for periods subsequent to the former member's earliest eligibility date for Service Retirement for uniformed personnel of the New York City Department of Correction ("Correction Personnel") who were members of the New York City Employees' Retirement System ("NYCRS") and who have retired and are receiving Ordinary Disability benefits ("Correction ODR Retirees"). The effective date of the proposed legislation would be the date of enactment. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD10901-03-4 A. 9393 2 IMPACT ON BENEFITS: NYCERS restricts the total Personal Service Income ("PSI") of a Correction ODR Retiree, in a calendar year, resulting from all public and private employment. If a Correction ODR Retiree's PSI from all public and private employ- ment exceeds the NYCERS PSI limitation, then such retiree's disability pension is suspended for 12 months. The NYCERS PSI limitation for 2013 was $28,800 and increases each year with the Consumer Price Index. If the proposed legislation is enacted, earnings of a Correction ODR Retiree earned subsequent to the date as of which the retiree would have been eligible for Service Retirement would no longer be limited in this manner by the NYCERS. It is the understanding of the Actuary that in lieu of such NYCERS limitations, the limitations on PSI or ODR Correction Retirees would fall back to the restrictions imposed by New York City Charter ("NYCC") Section 1117. NYCC Section 1117 limits the sum of the retirement allowance and the PSI for any ODR Retiree of the New York City Retirement Systems to $1,800 per year from most public employment within New York State (including New York City). However, NYCC Section 1117 places no limits on the amounts of PSI that may be earned from employment from other sources. FINANCIAL IMPACT - EMPLOYER COSTS: The ultimate cost of a pension plan is the benefits it pays. To the extent NYCERS earnings limitations would have applied in Calen- dar Years 2014 and later, certain Correction ODR Retirees would have had their pension temporarily suspended in years subsequent to the date as of which the retiree would have been eligible for Service Retirement where PSI exceeded those NYCERS earnings limitations. Enactment of legislation would eliminate the decrease in benefits to those Correction ODR Retirees where PSI exceeds the NYCERS earnings limitations. As the Actuary believes that few, if any, Correction ODR Retirees currently earn excess PSI that results in a suspension of their Ordinary Disability benefits, the increase in benefits would be de minimis. FINANCIAL IMPACT: EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS: The change in employer contributions would depend upon the amount and timing of pension payments that would no longer be suspended as a result of this legis- lation, but would ultimately be comparable to the change in employer costs and would be de minimis. OTHER COSTS: Not measured in this Fiscal Note are any possible increased administrative costs attributable to enactment of the proposed legislation. STATEMENT OF ACTUARIAL OPINION: I, Robert C. North, Jr., am the Chief Actuary for the New York City Retirement Systems. I am a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries and a Member of the American Academy of Actuaries. I meet the Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries to render the actuarial opinion contained herein. FISCAL NOTE IDENTIFICATION: This estimate is intended for use only during the 2014 Legislative Session. It is Fiscal Note 2014-17, dated April 21, 2014 prepared by the Chief Actuary for the New York City Employees' Retirement System.Go to top

Millard House, hired as chief operating officer of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools a year ago, announced Monday hes leaving the district to head the Charlotte office of New Leaders, a national nonprofit that recruits and trains urban principals.
House was named last week as one of three finalists for superintendent of Indianapolis Public Schools. Monday morning, that district announced it had hired Lewis Ferebee, chief of staff in Durham Public Schools.
House said he was a finalist for two superintendent jobs, one of which was private and he would not name. He said over the weekend he withdrew from both and accepted the post of executive director of New Leaders in Charlotte.
My family loves the city, House said. Im excited to be part of the community moving forward.
The New Leaders post came open when founding director Eric Guckian was tapped as Gov. Pat McCrorys senior education adviser.
House says the fact that he started job-hunting before his first year with CMS was up does not signal a problem with the district or with Superintendent Heath Morrison, who tapped House as one of his first top hires last summer.
There were no issues. I have the utmost respect for Heath, House said Monday. Hes been very supportive.
In his new job, House will work in partnership with CMS to find and support administrators for struggling high-poverty schools.
House will leave the CMS post in mid-July. Deputy Superintendent Ann Clark will take over the duties on an interim basis while the district launches a search.
The chief operating officer oversees all the non-academic functions of CMS, including construction, transportation and business. CMS is gearing up for a bond campaign this fall, the first in six years.

|Fusion-io Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2013 Results
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130612/SF30606LOGO)
"Fusion-io pioneered the all flash data center architecture that the industry is now embracing, and we are well positioned to capture a significant share of the opportunity from enterprise to hyperscale over the next few years," said
Fiscal 2013 GAAP Financial Results
Fiscal 2013 Non-GAAP Financial Results
Other Financial Highlights
Recent Business Highlights
Business Outlook
First quarter of fiscal year 2014:
Fiscal Year 2014 guidance:
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Fusion-io's management uses the non-GAAP financial measures in the accompanying schedules to gain an understanding of Fusion-io's comparative operating performance and future prospects, and utilizes these measures in its internal financial statements for purposes of its internal budgets and financial goals. Management also believes that the exclusion of the items described below provides an additional measure of the company's operating results and facilitates comparisons of Fusion-io's core operating performance against prior periods and business model objectives. Management believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools that management uses to analyze Fusion-io's results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP. Fusion-io endeavors to compensate for the limitation of the non-GAAP measures presented by also providing the most directly comparable GAAP measures and descriptions of the reconciling items and adjustments to derive the non-GAAP measures.
For all periods presented:
The accompanying tables provide more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures described above and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. With respect to our expectations under "Business Outlook" above, reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to the charges which are excluded from these non-GAAP measures. The effects of stock-based compensation expense specific to non-employee common stock options are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant impact on our GAAP financial results.

Answer #1Bret Bodas from RepairPal Test Shop, June 30, 2010, 09:34Master
Double check the oil level, if it's too high you'll have this problem. If the noise is coming from the turbo then you may have a failing turbocharger. You'll need to have this inspected to know for sure, so here are a few shops near you that can look at this for you: http://repairpal.com/directory?address=75070&car_brand_names=Volvo

Victorino hoping to rebound along with Red Sox
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Like the Boston Red Sox, Shane Victorino is looking to rebound.
The Flyin' Hawaiian was dealt from Philadelphia to the Los Angeles Dodgers last summer and wound up hitting .255 — 20 points below his career average — with 11 homers and 39 RBIs.
The 32-year-old outfielder became a free agent after the season and signed a $39 million, three-year contract with the Red Sox, coming off a last-place finish at 69-93 last year for their most losses since 1965.

Advocates gathered on the steps of City Hall Tuesday as part of the national "Equal Pay Day."
They cited statistics that show women make 77 percent as much as a man for the same job in the U.S.
That number is higher in the city, but City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito said it's still unacceptable.
She also said there's more the state can do to bridge the gap.
"We believe that we should be able to raise our own wage, considering the cost of living here in New York, considering the reality that the largest number of jobs that are growing and impacts women, in particular, are low-wage jobs," Mark-Viverito said. "The cost of living in New York, you cannot survive here on minimum wage."
The rally comes as a new study from the city comptroller's office finds similar discrepancies.
It does, however, have better news that women in the city under the age of 35 are earning 96 cents for every dollar young men earn.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama is also tackling the issue of pay inequality.
He spoke Tuesday about steps being taken while signing two executive orders.
One would direct the Labor Department to come up with new rules to require federal contractors to provide pay data that includes a breakdown by gender and race.
The other bans government contractors from retaliating against employees who discuss pay with their co-workers.
Obama said more needs to be done on the federal level to even the playing field.
"A woman's got to work about three more months in order to get what a man's got," Obama said. "But it's not a myth. It's math. You can look at the paychecks. You can look at the stubs."
The issue is expected to make its way to Capitol Hill this week, as the Senate is set to take up legislation that would make it easier for workers to sue companies for paying women less than men because of gender.

Picked up my Gen4 G27 today
Date on it is 9/4/12. I've ordered a FOBUS ankle holster as well. I do have some questions for G27 Gen4 owners.
The RSA # is 0-8-1. Is that the up-to-date number for them?
I changed the mag release to lefty for myself. When sliding the magazine in I have to really put some force into it to lock. Is it just that it's tight or did I not hold the mag release completely flush in its correct spot and the release is loose?
I was told that 165gr bullets are not good to shoot and I should stick to 180gr. Any truth to this?

Everett Community College cast this student, Nigel Lindsey, to lead in its upcoming advertisement playing in theaters in summer of 2013./ Christian Zerbel
The cast has been finalized and the choice has been made, sociology student Nigel Lindsey will represent EvCC in an upcoming commercial aimed to hit theaters sometime this summer.
It's Lindsey's third quarter at EvCC. He said he came to the college for the track program—now he is a resident of the dorms.
"When I always dreamed about going to college, I always wanted to leave my mark, so I feel like this is a great way," Linsey said.
He's thankful for the opportunity and he'll "definitely be going to a lot more movies, and a lot more movie dates," Lindsey said jokingly.
Lindsey describes his script as banter between an overly dramatic announcer, who emphasizes negative stereotypes about college, and Lindsey who sets him straight.
He found out about the commercial when his roommate encouraged him to try out, but he isn't the only EvCC student who will be featured in the commercial.
In fact there will be 20 student extras, according to Jenny Marin, marketing specialist at EvCC.
Marin said filming will be on-campus: inside a classroom, outside Whitehorse Hall and atop the patio on the second floor of Parks building—if weather permits.
Katherine Schiffner, director of public relations at EvCC, explains the thinking behind the commercial. "We're trying to appeal to all prospective students with the commercial, but we're especially targeting high school graduates with a 3.0 or higher … students who would likely be successful in college who aren't earning a college degree."
According to a 2010 Educational Research and Data Center (ERDC) study, 18 percent of high school grads with GPAs higher than 3.0 didn't enroll in education beyond high school.
Shooting went for two days Monday, May 20 and Tuesday, May 21.
EvCC did hire outside help through The Creative Group, a service that matches companies to a network of individuals with experience in the creative fields, to concept the ad and develop an overarching campaign. So far the college has spent under $1,000 total on the ad,which mostly went towards consulting costs through Creative Group.
But the shooting and editing will be done by the Media Services Department at EvCC. This is the second ad the department has taken-on; the first, which was compiled in February, was dropped due to concerns raised in focus groups within the college. The old ad had originally featured an animated Ken-like doll playing the lead, and some students who had given feedback on the ad said it was cheesy.
"This is one 30-second commercial. A lot of work is going into this commercial," said Schiffner, "but we hope to do more videos in the future to capture other aspects of the value of a higher education at Everett Community College, such as a campus tour and some video showing our college's incredible clubs."

The future of San Francisco's annual Fleet Week was thrown into doubt Tuesday when the Navy grounded the show's star attraction, the Blue Angels precision flying team, citing federal budget cuts.
Officials said they would try to salvage an event that draws as many as 1 million visitors to the northern waterfront each fall, many of them to watch the half-dozen F/A-18 fighter jets shriek overhead in tight formation.
But J. Michael Myatt, a retired Marine Corps major general who heads the Fleet Week organizing group, acknowledged that without the Blue Angels, it might not be possible to stage the Parade of Ships naval flotilla and an air show featuring lesser attractions.
"It is an economic issue, because it's very expensive," Myatt said. "Without the Blue Angels, it's difficult for us to raise the money to put that on.
"There likely will not be an air show without the Blue Angels," Myatt said, and the Parade of Ships could be in jeopardy as well because of the Pentagon's budget cuts.
Myatt said this year's Fleet Week, scheduled for Oct. 12 and 13, might still include other types of military demonstrations such as those showcasing humanitarian assistance and disaster preparedness.
'Not good news'
Those would be unlikely, however, to draw the kinds of crowds that flock to see the Blue Angels.
"Clearly, it's not good news, but it's something we have been talking about," said Christine Falvey, spokeswoman for Mayor Ed Lee. "The economic impact of Fleet Week is significant. We're going to find a way to make it work."
The Blue Angels perform all over the country for eight months of the year, but they don't come cheap - the Navy says the team's annual budget is $35 million. On Tuesday, the service said that was a luxury the Pentagon could no longer afford, because of the budget cuts known as sequestration.
The Navy canceled the Blue Angels' 30 remaining performances for 2013, and said there were no promises the jets would be back in the skies next year.
"Recognizing budget realities, current defense policy states that outreach events can only be supported with local assets at no cost to the government," the Navy said in a statement.
Sequestration is the term for $85 billion in cuts, divided between military spending and social programs, that Congress and the Obama administration agreed to in 2011 as part of the deal to raise the federal debt ceiling. The cuts were supposed to provide incentive for Republicans and Democrats to agree to a deficit-reduction package more palatable to both sides, but lawmakers couldn't come up with such a package and sequestration took effect in March.
Pilots in Pensacola
Blue Angels pilots will continue to "maintain flying proficiency" at the team's home base in Pensacola, Fla., said Navy spokesman Lt. Aaron Kakiel.
"The only people more disappointed than the fans about the cancellation are the Blue Angels themselves," Kakiel said.
The Blue Angels, consisting of Navy and Marine Corps personnel, perform not only to impress crowds with their high-flying, earsplitting aerial maneuvers, but also to encourage children to consider a career in the armed forces.
But the team's absence this year will surely come as a relief to many others who have long complained about the jets' noise and questioned whether it is safe for them to fly over the city during the show and two days of warm-up maneuvers. They have pointed to Blue Angels crashes such as one in 2007 that killed a pilot at an air show in South Carolina.
The Blue Angels last skipped Fleet Week in 2004, opting for a Hawaiian date instead. They were replaced that year by the Snowbirds, a slower, quieter Canadian outfit of nine CT-144 Tutors that described itself as "aerial ballet."
'Peace and quiet'
The absence of the roaring U.S. jet fighters this year will be welcomed by Donald Hermann, 86, who has a bird's-eye view of the Angels every fall from his North Point high-rise.
The no-show will be "a bit of a relief, just for the peace and quiet for a change," Hermann said. "I'll just celebrate."
His opinion wasn't shared by politicians who treasure the tourist dollars that Fleet Week brings in.
"While some residents won't miss the jet noise," said Board of Supervisors President David Chiu, "Fleet Week has been a major economic boost to our city, with 1 million spectators, and is an unfortunate casualty of Washington's budget crisis."
Supervisor Mark Farrell, whose district includes part of the northern waterfront, called the news "very disappointing" but said the city would have to move on. "The San Francisco Board of Supervisors tries to be very active, but I think going up against the Department of Defense would be a fruitless endeavor," he said.
Jim Lazarus, senior vice president at the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, said Fleet Week is "one of the biggest draws around the bay, and it would be a shame to lose the air show and lose the Parade of Ships."
But Lazarus added, "This may be the best year, if any, that we could kind of get by without a loss - because we have the America's Cup in the summer and fall."

Joe Lo Truglio, Andy Samberg
When the captain is away, the cops will play on this Sunday's episode of Fox's Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Jake (Andy Samberg) is left in charge of the precinct on Thanksgiving, but he quickly abuses his position of power when he allows the squad to act any way they please, much to the chagrin of Amy (Melissa Fumero). But when a lockdown keeps the crew trapped after-hours, Jake's control slips away as the office spirals into chaos.

If you like Syfy's Face Off (as I do), then you're already predisposed to enjoy the channel's new reality competition series Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge (Tuesday, 10/9c), which often feels like a shot-by-shot copy, complete with fetching female host (Farscape's Gigi Edgley), insane time pressures in producing elaborately fanciful Henson-esque creatures, and a three-member judging panel including the likable Brian Henson (Jim's son and chairman of the Henson Company with its fabled Creature Shop). What Creature Shop may lack in originality it makes up for in creative energy, with the contestants further challenged in mentoring sessions by being made to focus on having the full-body costumes be fully functional for the skilled Henson puppeteers within. The climactic "Screen Test" reveals are fun to watch, and the critiques (as in Face Off) are smartly constructive.

You know the face, you've seen him in a bunch of shows, and now Kyle Bornheimer is bringing his "oh yeah, that guy!" charm to Fox's Golden Globe winner Brooklyn Nine-Nine for a guest spot sure to wipe that smug look off of Peralta's face.
Slated for an early March appearance, Bornheimer — who was last seen in ABC's The Family Tools and plays a key role in A&E's upcoming Those Who Kill — will guest star in the season's 19th episode as Teddy, a cop from another precinct who used to date Santiago (Melissa Fumero). Needless to say, goofball Peralta (Andy Samberg) won't be too thrilled when the pair reconnects at a NYPD training exercise...especially when it becomes clear that the exes still have feelings for one another.
Cote de Pablo
Among last week's more encouraging TV signs: On the first Tuesday of the official fall season, it felt a bit like a return to the good (or at least simpler) old days when network TV was the dominant game in town, and crowded time periods could support more than one hit. In prime time's starting position of 8/7c, there appear to be three blockbusters duking it out:

Alisa Fleming ~ There is a new awareness film on the street; the only problem is the street is in Germany. The Non-GMO Film Project: GMO OMG made its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this month, and is currently fighting to get distribution in the United States.
To help this independent documentary get onto our screens, So Delicious Dairy Free is donating $1 to the cause for every new Facebook fan this month, up to 5,000!

– The Non-GMO Film Project
GMO OMG tells the side of the story that we don't see. GMO's are rampant on U.S. farms, but are also infiltrating other nations. Some accept the altered seeds with little knowledge, while others, like Haitian farmers who symbolically burned the "gift" from Monsanto of 475 tons of hybrid corn and vegetable seeds, refuse to wrestle with Mother Nature.
Did you know that So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage was the first non-dairy milk beverage to receive Non-GMO Project Verification?
Those who oppose GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) are running into the giant walls of corporatism. So Delicious is one of the "big guys" working to tear down those walls, brick by brick. Think of each consumer as a brick in one of those walls. By creating awareness via independent documentaries like The Non-GMO Film Project, the hope is that more and more of these bricks will break loose and the walls will eventually crumble as the demand shifts to non-GMO. So many people in our society don't even know what a GMO is – let's get educated …
