Lincoln-Way East color guard member to perform at U.S. Army All-American Bowl

Lincoln-Way East student and color guard member Michelle Lindeman adjusts her jacket with Staff Sgt. Gavin Wortman prior to the announcement that she will be a member of the 2013 U.S. Army All-American Marching Band during a ceremony at the school in Frankfort, IL on Monday October 15, 2012. She will join an elite group of musicians who will perform during halftime of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. | Matt Marton~Sun-Times Media

Those who know Michelle Lindeman readily describe Lincoln-Way East High School senior as a hard worker, a go-getter and a leader.
So when members of the Midwest selection tour for the U.S. Army All American Marching Band arrived at the Frankfort high school on a recent afternoon, it should have been no surprise they wanted Lindeman.
After all, they had been seeking students who demonstrated "exceptional musicianship, character and leadership."
"She's a very good example," Lincoln-Way East band director Bert Johnson said. "She's the first one here and the last one to leave."
The captain of the Lincoln-Way East color guard will join an elite group of musicians who will perform during halftime of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl game Jan. 5 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
She is one of 125 high school band students selected along with the nation's top 90 high school football players to take part in the game, and the fifth Lincoln-Way District 210 student to be so honored.
"I really wanted to be able to represent my school," Lindeman said. "This is such a huge honor. I'm so excited for the opportunity."
Right now she is savoring the moment and not thinking about the intense week of practice she will have with fellow All-American band members before their January performance.
A member — and captain — of the high school's 18-member color guard since her freshman year, Lindeman had to submit a performance video and a biography for consideration.
"I love color guard. It's the perfect blend of dance, art and athleticism," she said.
According to her parents, she's quite the accomplished musician, too.
Her mother, Laura Lindeman said her daughter also plays piano, flute and clarinet, but being on the color guard has been her "saving grace," she said, and enabled her to have a "huge amount of friends."
"I was thrilled for her," she said of this honor. "It's very competitive."
"She works hard at what she does. She practices constantly. I'm so proud of her," said her father, Dean Lindeman. "She took to music like a fish to water."
Several color guard members showed their support by attending the brief ceremony in the Griffin's Lair at Lincoln-Way East.
Lindeman is "very mature," "very organized," and definitely "the leader of the group," they said.
Mallory Izbicki, a representative of the Midwest selection tour, said "not just anyone" can earn a spot in the All-American band, which includes 100 musicians and 25 members of the color guard.
They seek students who are mentally and emotionally strong, who are dedicated and determined, Izbicki said.
"This marching band is a national celebration of high school marching music," she said.
"It's a great experience that she'll always remember," Johnson said.

Can one actually buy and own a DISH DVR or reciever? When I was with the other satellite provider one could only lease most pieces of equipment, even if one purchased it from Best Buy or EBay.
Yes that's another great thing about DISH you can own your equipment and when you do there's no commitment(contract).
For the best price I recommend this site:
When you own your equipment I recommend adding the DISH Protection Service Plan to your account.If your equipment goes bad they replace it for $15.

text: The last several pairs of hiking shoes I have bought have all broken down within 4-6 months. These are holding together extremely well. I like to have one pair of shoes for everything. I purchased the model previous to these about a year ago (which are virtually identical to the updated model) , and they still look like new. I wear them all day, everyday. I've worn them in deep snow, backpacking, mountain biking, traveling, running, at work, and in class. When it snows, I just wear thicker socks, and my feet stay plenty dry. I wouldn't try scaling a mountain with them in the winter, but for shoveling the sidewalk they work just fine. I would have given them 5 stars, but the GORE-TEX doesn't breathe as well as it could. However, the new model uses GORE-TEX XCR instead, which should resolve this issue anyway.

It's easy to drown in the different forms of digital marketing out there if you're running a consulting business. Because time is precious, particularly if you work as a consult, juggling every aspect of your business, you need to focus on doing what's imperative – not just helpful.
To help keep things simple but effective, here are the content marketing platforms I think you need to include in 2013 as part of your strategic online marketing plan.
1. Blog.
Do not ignore the power of a blog. They help get you found in Google and other search engines, generate leads and give prospects an insight to your core skills. What's more, a blog is full of personality. If you write in a tone of voice that reflects just who you are instead of "corporate speak" you'll show customers a personal side of who you are. This is important because we do business with people, not businesses.
Get a blog right and it will bring new customers to your door. If you're thinking of starting a business blog or have let yours go on hiatus too long, check out this post on what makes a great business blog.

Chia Goodness is a new concept cereal. From the website, the ingredients are completely raw -- just stir in water, hot or cold, and wait a few minutes for it to thicken, giving it the comfort quality of oatmeal.
Chia is very rich in omega-3 fatty acids, even more so than flax seeds. And it has another advantage over flax: chia is so rich in antioxidants that the seeds don't deteriorate and can be stored for long periods without becoming rancid. And, unlike flax, they do not have to be ground to make their nutrients available to the body. Chia seeds also provide fiber (25 grams give you 6.9 grams of fiber) as well as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, molybdenum, niacin, and zinc [Source: Dr. Weil].
The ingredients in Chia Goodness Cranberry Ginger Cereal are chia, buckwheat, shelled hemp seeds, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, currants, organic cane sugar, Celtic sea salt & ginger. When they say this cereal will thicken, they are not kidding! The first time I tried this, I added some Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Almond Milk and it got thick like oatmeal immediately! I didn't think this would make a very filling breakfast, so the next time I tried this I added it one serving to Fiber One Cereal with Honey Clusters and wow did it make this cereal pop!
What stands out the most are the cranberries, which gave the cereal a little sweet & sour bite, and the chia seeds which are a plenty. They don't have a unique flavor, but they add a lot of texture. My favorite way to really enjoy this was by adding it to yogurt and oatmeal.
Each 30 gram (2 tablespoon) serving of Chia Goodness Cranberry Ginger Cereal provides 130 calories from 7 grams of total fat (11% of the daily value), which includes 1 gram of saturated fat (5% of the DV), 120 mg of sodium (5% of the DV), 4 grams of protein and 16 grams of carbohydrates which includes 4 grams of fiber and 3 grams of sugars. There is also 4% - 25% of many vitamins and minerals - none of which is added.
This is definitely not for when you're watching your calorie intake. Ans since I'm not right now, I thoroughly enjoyed completing my morning oatmeal with Chia Goodness Cranberry Ginger Cereal. Chia Goodness is available at natural grocery stores like Mrs. Greens (although I have to say this place is more expensive than Whole Foods). Or you can buy it online at $7.50 for 12 ounces. Quite expensive, but when you're ready to Eat Clean or incorporate more natural foods in your diet, then this is a great place to start.

"We used WPD for our wedding invitations and received lots of compliments. So it was an easy decision to use them for all our other paper needs. The menu looked very elegant in the Pearl Shimmer addition and the font went perfect with our romantic theme. Unfortunately, I made an error on the back of the menu and WPD graciously and quickly offered to reprint the correct version at no additional cost. They even rushed the order. I love working with WPD!"
"We were very happy with the menus. We selected the purple flowers and the shimmer paper. Good quality, and we received many compliments at the reception regarding the menus."
"Not only did the color and text come out exactly how we wanted, but having the option to decorate the back was most helpful! We uploaded a photo of us and wrote our donation message in lieu of favors on the bottom! 2 birds, one stone! And they cropped our photo beautifully!! This is a great option!!"
"This menu card looked stunning when it arrived. Wedding Paper Divas's customer service was excellent and answered all my questions. I worked with the designer to change the format for three courses instead of the four you see, and changed it to add images related to my wedding theme. The end result was amazing and I cannot wait to see these displayed on each plate at my wedding."
"I originally chose a different design for my wedding programs, table cards, etc., but that design didn't have green menu cards so I ordered this style instead. The staff at Wedding Paper Divas was kind enough to adjust the coloring of the letters to make this design look closer to the rest of my order. The result? A beautiful, cohesive look that impressed my guests. I highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas!"

New York (CNNMoney) — U.S. stocks drifted lower Thursday, ending a blockbuster month on a soft note, as reports on the job market added to concerns about the economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 0.3%, while the S&P 500 lost 0.2%. The Nasdaq ended little changed.
Despite the weakness, stocks have started the year with a bang.
The Dow gained 5.9% in January, making it the best performance for that month since 1994, when blue-chips rose 6%. The S&P 500 gained 5% for the month, while the Nasdaq added 4%.
Both the Dow and S&P 500 are hovering just below all-time highs, near levels not seen since 2007.
Investors have been increasingly willing to take risks, with money flowing into equity funds over the past few weeks, said Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank. But he warned that the bulls may be overlooking some troubling economic signs, and that stocks could be headed for a pullback.
"We need to be careful here in concluding that investors are not going to sober up if we continue to get weak numbers," said McCain. "Investors are feeling good and ignoring the implications of some of the more disturbing news."
Early Thursday, the government reported a jump in initial jobless claims following two weeks of declines. And separately, outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas said the number of planned job cuts surged 24% to 40,430 in January.
Those figures are worrisome ahead of the all-important monthly jobs report due Friday. Analysts are expecting that employers added 180,000 jobs in January, and that the unemployment rate ticked down to 7.7% from 7.8% in December.
Meanwhile, personal income in December rose 2.6%, while spending inched up 0.2%, according to the Commerce Department. But the jump in incomes was driven mainly by Americans trying to avoid paying higher taxes in the new year, and is not expected to continue.
"This morning's data adds to our view that the economy is not accelerating," said Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities. "Instead, it is stuck on a shallow growth trajectory."
Thursday's reports come a day after the government reported a surprise drop in economic activity during the fourth quarter, although the GDP data contained some hints of underlying improvement.
Investors were also rattled Wednesday by the latest statement from the Federal Reserve, which said economic growth had paused.
In corporate news Thursday, shares of Anheuser-Busch InBev fell 6% after the U.S. Justice Department moved to block the beverage giant's merger with Groupo Modelo, the leading brewer in Mexico. Groupo Modelo shares, which trade over the counter in the United States, were down 6%. Elsewhere in the alcohol sector, shares of Constellation Brands, which distributes Modelo-brewed beers in the U.S. market, sank nearly 19%.
Shares of UPS declined after the shipping giant's fourth-quarter earnings came in below of forecasts. The company's guidance for 2013 was also weaker than expected.
Shares of Dow Chemical also declined on an earnings miss.
Facebook shares dropped after the firm said late Wednesday that its fourth-quarter mobile user growth had slowed slightly versus the third quarter. Facebook's fourth-quarter earnings and sales beat Wall Street estimates.
Of the 200 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings so far, 136 have beat analysts' estimates, according to S&P Capital IQ. Overall, earnings are expected to be up 5.1% for the quarter.
PulteGroup reported a four-fold increase in quarterly earnings and said new orders jumped 27%. Despite the strong results, shares of Pulte fell 4%, weighing down shares of other homebuilders. Hovnanian and Lennar were also under pressure.
Meanwhile, shares of TRI Pointe Homes surged 13% after the company made its debut as a public company.
European markets ended lower corporate earnings weighed on sentiment. Results from oil major Shell and drinks group Diageo missed expectations, while Deutsche Bank posted a $3.5 billion quarterly loss on legal and restructuring charges. Telecoms equipment maker Ericsson bucked the trend, posting strong gains after beating expectations.
Asian markets ended mixed, with the Hang Seng slipping 0.4%.
Gold prices dropped nearly 1%, while oil was down 0.8% in the commodities market. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell to 1.9% from 2% on Wednesday. The U.S. dollar fell versus the euro and the British pound, but gained against the Japanese yen.

And I love the fact most of them "fluffed it up" when they dropped their shorts - wanted to make sure it looked good for whoever was checking them out!
Guys! I think it's pretty stupid to start another thread about the same topic and upload all the pictures again, it's just plain stupid...
My suggestion is to go to this thread http://www.justusboys.com/forum/showthread.php?t=315803 and keep it alive instead of starting a new one.
One of the mods should now close this thread. Enjoy Sunday evening guys...

The Section of Developmental Biology in the Department of Pediatrics provides insight into the underlying causes of human birth defects and diseases through basic scientific research.
Lee Niswander, PhD, moved from memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in new York City to head the new Section in 2004. Along with Dr. Niswander, the Section includes the research group of Bruce Appel, PhD, who moved from Vanderbilt University in 2008 and is the recipient of the newly endowed Dianne G. Wallach Chair in Pediatric Stem Cell Biology; Julie Siegenthaler, PhD, Emily Bates, PhD; and Santos Franco, PhD.
The current emphasis is on understanding the normal developmental processes that regulate the formation of the central and peripheral nervous systems, the limb and lung. Moreover, these researchers are creating mouse and zebrafish models of genetic defects to determine why these developmental processes go awry in children born with birth defects (such as spina bifida) or who later develop neuromuscular defects.
Children's Hospital Colorado Research Institute and the Gates Frontier Fund have helped to launch and establish the Section of Developmental Biology.

well as the US position on them, 2 articles
Syria's Oil Sector feels the Pain
(DP-News - forwardsyria )
DAMASCUS- Syria's oil industry, a critical mainstay of the economy and a
vital source of government income, is now being targeted by sanctions from
both the United States and the European Union. It takes will, might, and
plenty of patience, to outlive the crisis, experts say.
Washington and Brussels hope that squeezing Syria's small but lucrative
oil sector will have a serious impact on government financing and, as a
result, help them meet their openly expressed aim of toppling President
Bashar al-Assad.
Industry experts, analysts and political commentators are, however,
divided on how effective these sanctions can be, and what impact they will
end up having on Syria's ability to remain financially afloat in the face
of an unprecedented domestic crisis and international pressures.
Canada Sanctions won't affect Syria
Gulfsands Petroleum & Syria
UN Security Council divided over Syria
Import Ban would Intensify Syria Unrest
"The sanctions against oil will be a big blow to the country, they will
hit the Syrian economy hard," said Hussein Amach, a Damascus-based
economist who previously worked at the International Monetary Fund in
"Oil is more important now than is typically the case. Because tax
receipts are down, oil now finances 30 to 40 per cent of government
spending. Anything that affects that will have a serious impact on the
Amach, a founder of al Jazeera University and a member of a pro-reform
Democratic National Initiative platform, said the Syrian government would
be running a "serious deficit" and, with oil incomes cut, would be eating
into dwindling hard currency reserves in order to meet the day-to-day
costs of running a country.
"The sanctions will push Syria closer to major economic problems," he
said. "In the short term, the government will be able to meet its costs
but over the medium to long term, it will be very hard on the economy, we
will see pressure building to devalue the Syrian pound."
Mazen Ganamah, a shareholder in Ganamah Oil Group which provides
well-related, equipment and engineering services to Syria's oil sector,
disagreed, saying the impact of expanded sanctions would be limited.
"The European embargo on the Syrian oil experts will have no direct
affects on the working oil companies in the country or the signed
contracts for exploration and production," he said.
However, he said there would be a psychological effect created by the term
`embargo' being applied to Syria's oil industry, with its negative
implications and stigma.
"The word of `embargo' has affects on the Syrian oil sector's reputation,"
he said. "Trade deals including the oil deals depend on reliability and
reputation. Although the EU only sanctioned importing of the Syrian crude
oil it is hard to anticipate the consequences `embargo' will have on
bringing new companies to the Syrian oil sector."
Another Syrian working in the oil business said the delayed implementation
of sanctions would help Syria react and come up with alternative buyers.
Although passed in September, the EU oil import ban will not come into
effect until mid-November, as requested by the Italian government. Italy
has a number of contracts with Syrian oil firms and did not want those
deals to be hit, according to news reports from Brussels.
"The sanctions will implement at the mid of November and this period of
time will help the Syrian government to find the alternatives," the
businessman said, on condition of anonymity.
"The Syrian Oil Ministry has already put in place a plan to deal with
these sanctions. The US sanctions are very hard but have not had a big
affect because Syria has been under American sanctions since the 1980's.
However he did warn that bolstered US oil sanctions would likely have some
effects, with smaller intermediary firms pulling out of the Syrian market.
Some American companies were working in the country by way of intermediary
agent companies in Europe and Asia, these companies will stop completely
any future project in Syria," he said.
At the time of writing, there are no European sanctions on investment in
the exploration and production inside Syria, although the EU is actively
considering taking those steps, according to news reports.
Europe's Royal Dutch Shell and France's Total are both big players on the
production side. Yet, if these both companies are obliged to stop work in
Syria, it will not stop the oil production process in the country.
"The state-owned Syrian Oil Company relies one hundred percent Syrian
investment and experience, produces 200.000 barrels per day - more than
half of the country's total output," said the oil businessman.
Syria's total oil output is 384,000 barrels per day (bpd), according to
official statistics.
That leaves 184,000 bpd being produced by local Syrian companies in
cooperation with Shell, Total, Chinese, Indian and forms of other
"There will be some effect but it will be light in nature," the
businessman said.
According to oil experts, Syria uses two third of its oil production for
local needs and exports 120.000 to 150.000 bpd of "Souedie" crude oil. The
vast majority of exported crude - 95 per cent - has been going to Europe
where is refined to be refined by companies in Germany (31%), Italy (31%),
France (11%), the Netherlands (9%) and other EU states.
Those trades will, as of November, have to stop. But without United
Nations sanctions , Syria can sell its crude oil to any of the world's
numbers oil thirsty countries, particularly those in Asia - India and
China - with which Damascus enjoys strong political relations. However
those sales will be a reduced price compared to the banned EU trade.
"Syria has a choice to sell its crude oil to any China, India or Russia
but with lower prices, perhaps 10 to 15 % of the real price in the
international market," said a Syrian economist affiliated to the domestic
political opposition.
"In addition, Syria will have to buy refined oil products to cover the
local increasing needs with higher prices. These deals will push the
government to lose more money, sell with low price, buy with higher price
for the state- subsidized oil products," he said, also on condition of
Some economists have analysts have also cast doubt on the ease and
practicality of finding other buyers for Syrian oil, certainly in the
short term.
"Most of our exports went to Europe and I don't think it will be easy to
find another market," said one Syrian economist who asked not to be named.
"Oil is 20 per cent of so of Syria's GDP and more than 40 per cent of the
government's budget. It will be a hard punishment for the regime, and they
are expecting more sanctions."
He said the implementation of oil sanctions meant this current economic
embargo would be much harder to overcome than that put in place in 2005
following the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq al
"Syria faced sanctions in 2005 and got out of that easily," said the
economist. "The main problem is that Syria believes it is now in the same
situation as it was back then, so it thinks it will, in the end, get out
of it. But this situation is different. These sanctions will be so hard;
the entire economy will in the end be affected by this. It's difficult."
The possibility of an oil embargo hitting the national economy hard - and
impacting ordinary Syrians, rather than leadership figures, has led some
opposition members to criticise the measure.
Louay Hussein, a Syrian opposition leader said the sanctions came in
response to calls from exiled opposition figures, rather than from
dissidents inside the country.
"The sanctions will hurt, and they will hurt the ordinary people. It's a
mistake to have the oil sanctions," he said. "The money will not stop
going to the security services, the regime will still find the money it
needs for that, even if it means stopping spending on education and
hospitals. The security services will be the last to stop getting money."
Mr. Hussein said the oil sanctions, in conjunction with other measures
would, eventually take their toll on the country.
"It will eventually lead Syria closer to economic collapse," he said.
Sanctions Pose Growing Threat to Syria's Assad

BEIRUT, Lebanon - The Syrian economy is buckling under the pressure of
sanctions by the West and a continuing popular uprising, posing a growing
challenge to President Bashar al-Assad's government as the pain is felt
deeply by nearly every layer of Syrian society.

With Syria's currency weakening, its recession expanding, its tourism
industry wrecked and international sanctions affecting most essential
sectors, the International Monetary Fund now expects Syria's economy to
shrink this year, by at least 2 percent.
Through nearly seven months of protests and a brutal crackdown that has
killed more than 2,900 people, Mr. Assad and his political supporters have
demonstrated a cohesiveness that has surprised even his critics.
Differences that may exist have stayed inside a ruling clique that draws
on Mr. Assad's own clan and sect, and the security services have yet to
But analysts in the region and officials in Turkey and the United States
say the faltering economy presents a double blow to a government that had
once relied on its economic successes as a crucial source of legitimacy.
As many Syrians, poor and rich, feel the effects of the revolt in their
daily lives, a sense of desperation is echoed in the streets, even in
Damascus and Aleppo, the country's two largest cities and economic
Analysts also point out that Syria could use sanctions to rally its people
against a common threat.
While neither has risen up like other Syrian cities, complaints are
growing, and American and Turkish officials say they believe that the
merchant elite in both cities will eventually turn against Mr. Assad.
"I can no longer afford to buy anything for my family," said Ibrahim Nimr,
an economic analyst based in Damascus, the capital. "I am not making any
more money. I am facing difficulties, and I don't know what to do."
A businessman in Damascus, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for
fear of reprisal, said: "People are not buying anything they don't need
these days. Just barely the necessities."
American and Turkish officials say that a collapse is not imminent and
that the government can probably survive through the end of the year. But
they now believe it is possible that the toll of the sanctions and
protests could bring down Mr. Assad in 6 to 18 months.
"We're all waiting for the thing that will crack them," an Obama
administration official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "And
it will be the economy that will wake everybody up, both those who support
him, and Assad and his circle."
Revenues from oil and gas exports, which account for up to a third of
state revenues and are the single biggest source of foreign currency, will
dry up at the beginning of November, when a European Union ban on imports
will fully come into force.
The unrest has paralyzed the tourism industry, which brings in $7.7
billion a year. Several hotels in Damascus said they did not have any
bookings for now or anytime in the future, and some hotel owners said that
they closed down in the summer because they could no longer afford to pay
salaries and bills.
An owner of a small candy shop in Souk al-Hamidiyeh, an old market in the
heart of Damascus, said that he had not seen a single tourist since March,
when the uprising against Mr. Assad began.
"And it doesn't look like we will see tourists anytime soon," the owner
Dik al-Jin, one of the oldest restaurants and the most popular site for
weddings and parties in Homs, a city in central Syria where the uprising
has the semblance of a civil war, also shut down because of a lack of
customers, soon after the demonstrations broke out.
But uncertainties persist over the international strategy to put pressure
on the Syrian economy. American and European officials have debated
whether the sanctions will end up hurting average Syrians more than the
leadership. Some analysts have contended that the government may try to
paint itself as a victim and court support by casting the sanctions as a
contest of "us against them."
Indeed, in the 1990s in Iraq, which was hit by comprehensive sanctions,
popular anger was often directed at the United Nations and the West, not
the government of Saddam Hussein.
For now, and in spite of the fraying economy, the government seems buoyed
by a sense of confidence over having blunted some of the mass protests
this summer in cities like Hama and Deir al-Zour. Syrian officials also
have faced sanctions before, only to weather them and seek to rehabilitate
themselves once conditions in the region shift. Syrian officials also
received a lift when China and Russia vetoed a resolution in the United
Nations Security Council that condemned the violent oppression of
antigovernment demonstrators last week.
"I do agree that they're more confident now than before," the American
official said.
In recent months, Syrian officials in the Ministry of Economy and Trade
and the Ministry of Finance have dismissed in published remarks the
effects of sanctions on the economy and foreign currency reserves. In
September, Mohammad al-Jleilati, the finance minister, said that the
country had $18 billion in foreign currency reserves, enough to secure
imports for two years. Though most experts disputed the figure, they added
that given the lack of transparency, it was hard to determine the amount.
But the economic impact appears greater than in past crises, and officials
in Turkey, once a crucial trading partner with Syria, are preparing to
impose their own sanctions. The Syrian government's own figures underline
a waning sense of faith in the economy.
Recent statistics published by the Syrian Investment Agency, a state-run
firm that oversees investment in Syria's infrastructure, transportation
and agriculture sectors, pointed to a decrease in consumer and investor
confidence. The agency reported that 131 licenses for private investment
projects were issued in the first half of the year, a decrease of 40
percent compared with the first six months of last year.
Assets in Syria's five largest banks dropped by nearly 17 percent in the
first half of 2011, while deposits in Lebanese banks operating in Syria
were down by 20 percent from 2010, according to a report released by
Lebanon's Byblos Bank.
So far, Syrian officials, who appear to be bewildered by the uprising and
how to cope with it, have announced a series of measures that most experts
say are likely to deepen the crisis. Among these steps was a decision last
month to ban imports of many consumer goods to protect Syria's foreign
currency reserves. The step created such a domestic and regional uproar
over price increases that the government revoked it a week later.
Another decision was approving a budget of $26.53 billion, a 58 percent
increase over last year's budget and the highest in Syria's history.
"Where are they going to bring that money from?" asked Nabil Sukkar, a
former World Bank official who now runs an independent research institute
based in Damascus. "That is a big question mark. We now have less
revenues. No one outside is going to help us. We have reserves, but they
are being drawn down."
There were unconfirmed reports from inside Syria that employees in some
public institutions were asked to contribute the equivalent of $10 every
month to a special fund that goes to the government.
For years, Mr. Assad portrayed himself as a modernizer, and a newfound
consumerism in Damascus and Aleppo seemed to mark a break with the
drearier years associated with his father's three decades of rule. In
April, only a month after the uprising started, the International Monetary
Fund forecast growth rates of 3 percent for 2011 and 5.1 percent for 2012.
"We were on our way to move toward a strong economy," said an economic
expert based in Damascus, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear
of reprisal. "We started seeing an increase in foreign and local
investments. The momentum was on until we were hit by crisis.
Unfortunately, I am very pessimistic."

New regulations for data protection and patient information as mandated by the healthcare industry continue to present challenges for healthcare facilities when it comes to security. Failure to ensure that the medical equipment housing confidential patient records and drugs is adequately protected can result in costly fines and penalties.
In response, healthcare facilities are seeking "intelligent" equipment that will help them meet security and compliance objectives. Equipment manufacturers can help healthcare facilities create a layered security web by offering products that incorporate intelligent locking mechanisms that also can be integrated with their existing building security systems.

Colorblock Strapless Maxi Dress
Style # 218846
Make a statement in pop-bright colorblocking and summer's fave silhouette with this bebe maxi dress. Features a soft, comfy fabric and thick elastic band at neckline to keep it in place.
- 94% rayon, 8% spandex
- Center back to hem: 50" (127 cm)
- Imported
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Colorblock Strapless Maxi Dress
This dress was not made for ladies 5'4" and under but I don't care! Lol. I'm 5'4" and had about an inch of the dress hanging on the ground, but it is just sooo beautiful! The colors are vibrant, and the fit is amazing! I tried the S (140lbs 34.27.42) and it fits like a glove, it hugged all my curves in the right way. The fabric is thin, stretchy and flowy... even though it's a bit long, I have nothing bad to say about this dress. Super cute! Ladies my height and shorter, get it and just wear wedges... that's my plan! You'll love it!
June 18, 2013
Not what I expected....
The colors were beautiful, but the material is cheap looking. It was a bit heavy and not light weight for hot days. I returned it through bebe.com and was very disappointed that bebe.com does not provide its customers with a shipping label. My nearest bebe is 3 hours away, therefore bebe.com needs to provide more convenient options for their (loyal) customers. If you're 5'4, this dress with drag like a wedding dress too! Step up your quality Bebe!
June 17, 2013
Love it
I love this dress. Like their other maxi dresses it is a little long but perfect fit soft n beautiful colors!!! Perfect summer colors. Perfect summer dress
June 17, 2013
I bought this in size Small as soon as it appeared online. I was sooo excited at the color combination with the trendy green, blue and white. It reminds me of the halter dress Bebe sold in that same combo a couple of years back. It fits a little snug in the bust, which surprised me a bit, but not enough to make it uncomfortable or my breasts to pop out. It is very form fitting, so you have to be careful of undergarments showing. Unfortunately, I had to return this dress. I really hated it, but the reason was because this dress is long, and there's a lot of material on the sides. I would have to pay quite a bit to not only get it hemmed, but tapered on the sides. So I hope the powers that be at Bebe read this...PLEASE offer this dress in a Petite length; I will buy it as soon as it comes on sale!!!!

I complained again about the slowness of my HR20-700 and here's the solutions they gave me:
So, 1 basically says not to use the DRV as DVR; 2 and 3 say that they know they put some functions in the receivers that makes them run slow so I should disable them. Why aren't they disabled by default or removed altogether?
Again on suggestion 1, I had to replace my receiver few weeks ago and with now shows in the playlist and no SL it was quite fast. As soon as I have added 2 SL it slowed down to a crawl. So it might be true that SL cause the slowness just the solution given is idiotic.
It wont help,
I have had those features disabled for a long time prior to their "oversize for the box" (receiver) implementation(*S).
They shouldve told you to go read the guide but dont use it or any menu key functions. ??
just say " watch youtube and, listen to Pandora" on your *TV box.
"we Also offer Tv apps... but you cant use them nor do they appear".

Wireless Mics
May 7, 2013 4:05 PM, By Mark Johnson
By now, probably the majority of audio professionals are fully aware of the reallocation of available wireless frequencies in the UHF television spectrum by the FCC, and the ensuing relative upheaval to the wireless manufacturing community. To briefly recap: As of June 2010, frequencies in the UHF spectrum from 698MHz to 806MHz, otherwise known as the "700MHz band," were ordered by the FCC to be made available for exclusive use by public safety agencies such as police, fire, and other emergency responders. Any other systems that operated in that band should have been removed from service and replaced with systems that would operate outside of that band. To further complicate the issue, the increased bandwidth required by the DTV stations just coming online exacerbated the situation by adding to the already crowded airwaves. The good news is the engineering and product development teams at many of the manufacturers have come up with nice options where wireless technology is concerned. Some incorporate digital technologies, and many new wireless offerings operate in the 2.4GHz range, 2.4GHz ISM band (or higher), far outside of the TV band. We'll be looking at a variety of systems and implementations of wireless technology for production and presentation applications.
Featuring 24-bit/48kHz operation in the 2.4GHz ISM band, AKG's DMS70 provides true, uncompressed audio transmission. Bidirectional communication between the transmitter and receiver allows for power off from the receiver for all connected transmitters, battery-status monitoring, and out-of-range warning. Available in 2- or 4-channel versions, the systems feature dynamic frequency selection and AES 128-bit encryption for secure operation. The DSR70 receiver features five XLR balanced outputs, one per channel, and one summed output for mixdown of the four channels. Approximate battery life for two AA Alkaline batteries is six hours, and seven hours for NiMH batteries. Operating range is 98.5ft. line of sight. Transmitter options include the DPT70 pocket transmitter and the DHT70 D5 and Perception handheld transmitters.
The Audio-Technica System 10 provides digital 24-bit/48kHz wireless operation in the 2.4GHz range. It is available in multiple system configurations, with handheld vocal microphone transmitters and UniPak bodypack transmitters for use with lavalier, headworn, and instrument microphones, as well as electric guitars. Up to eight channels can be used simultaneously. System 10 provides three levels of diversity: frequency diversity sends the signal on two dynamically allocated frequencies; time diversity sends the signal in multiple time slots; and space diversity uses two antennas on each transmitter and receiver. Automatic frequency selection finds clear frequencies each time the transmitter/receiver system is powered up. The System 10 ATW-R1100 receiver features balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4in. output jacks with level control. The transmitters use two AA alkaline batteries with a typical battery life of seven hours.
The RAD360 from Audix is a UHF system operating between 614MHz and 662MHz, with 193 selectable frequencies (per system group or 24MHz spaced 125kHz apart) and dual-tuner, true diversity receivers. Transmitter battery life for either the T360 handheld or B360 bodypack transmitters is approximately 12 hours for two AA batteries. The handheld transmitter accepts capsules from the OM series dynamic microphones. The transmitter and receiver are synthesizer-controlled via Phase Locked Loop (PLL). Optionally, the AB-1 antenna booster can be used for increased range and improved signal to noise and the Antenna Distribution System allows up to four systems to be run off a pair of antennas. Rackmount kits for mounting one or two systems are available.
The Azden IR-CS or WS Infrared Classroom Systems are available as two complete systems (including speakers), or separate components are available for customization. The systems include an IRR-30P-powered dual-channel receiver, four ACS-6.5 in-ceiling or AWS-4.5 wall-mounted speakers, IRN-10 chest-worn microphone/transmitter, IRH-15c handheld transmitter, and IRD-60 ceiling-mounted sensor. The receiver provides two stereo aux inputs and up to three additional sensors may be added for larger installations. The handheld transmitter provides six hours of use with two AA batteries while the chest-worn transmitter provides up to eight hours.

Has anyone put any thought into what the distribution for the force packs would be?
Figure if they stick with the 60 cards per force pack, as they have been doing with the other LCG.. my guess would be that there would be the following array of pods.
Rebel Pod 1
Duplicate of Rebel Pod 1
Rebel Pod 2
Duplicate of Rebel Pod 2
Rebel Pod 3 (This pod would be limited to 1 per deck)
Then a similiar spred for the Empire cards.. What do you all think?

Nvidia and Samsung have accused each other of infringing patents used in mobile devices, with Nvidia first filing suit against Samsung and chipmaker Qualcomm in September.
Nvidia last month accused Samsung and Qualcomm of ripping off its graphics patents in devices such as the Galaxy Note Edge, Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5 smartphones.
In a new suit with the US International Trade Commission, Samsung asks the agency to bar from the US dozens of Nvidia devices, graphics cards and processors.
Creative Kingdoms had sued the company, saying the Wii U Remote used the same technology as its "magic wands," thus violating its patents.
The Korean electronics giant countersues Nvidia, and drags Nvidia customer Velocity Micro into the fight.
The U.S. International Trade Commission says its ruling, which could result in a ban of some Samsung devices in the U.S., will come next week.
The chipmaker is accusing Samsung and Qualcomm of infringing its patents related to the company's core graphics technology.
A new program will soon require companies to prove they have well-established U.S. production, licensing, and research before being able to bring a patent case before the commission.
InterDigital receives a blow from the US International Trade Commission with a ruling that says Nokia and ZTE did not infringe on patents.
The International Trade Commission has tossed out Motorola's patent case against Apple, saying its proximity sensor patent is invalid.
