Of course, God willing, I still have many, many good years ahead (I'm still strong, healthy and relatively young), so I guess the lesson I took from my dad's words is this: Time is fleeting, so we should make the most of the time we have.
That's why, although I'm not too big on New Year's resolutions, I have resolved to look at each new day as a new opportunity; and at the close of each day, I want to know I have been active in some constructive effort to help improve my country, my community and myself.
Everyone probably knows by now that I am retiring from the Tennessee House to seek other opportunities. However, this column is not the proper forum to discuss that. Instead, I want to comment briefly on elections in general.
One way we can all become more effective is by being informed voters. In spite of efforts by some in Washington, D.C., to pattern the U.S. after a European model, this is still a nation of, by and for the people. We the people are the ones who voted our policymakers into office, so if we don't like our leadership, we have only ourselves to blame.
I am always surprised at the reasons some people have for voting a certain way. I have heard folks say they always vote for one party or the other because that's the way their parents and grandparents voted, and Mommy or Daddy would "roll over in their grave" if little Junior broke that tradition. I have even heard folks say they voted for a candidate because that candidate held a cookout and provided free barbecue and hot dogs. True, I appreciate anybody that can provide me with a tasty pulled pork sandwich, but that's not a reason to vote for them ... a reason to attend their rallies, maybe, but not a reason to vote for them.
We should become informed voters. We should familiarize ourselves with a candidate's background and philosophy, and measure their words against their actions. Most of that info is public record and we should take time to check it out for ourselves. It is a mistake to base our vote on what someone else thinks. If we don't care enough to research our leaders before electing them to office, we deserve what we get. I am thinking of Washington, D.C., as I say this, but it applies on a local and state level as well.
This year, 2014, will be an important election season as we will be voting for many local and national offices. Whatever your party affiliation, whatever your financial or social situation, whatever you read in the newspaper or see on cable news, we should bear in mind that these midterm elections will impact the direction we move as a nation, as a state and as a county. I have seen a widening divide among people all over the country. It is a political and idealogical divide fueled and encouraged by both parties for their own personal agendas. We do ourselves and future generations a disservice if we can't even take time to learn what it is we are voting for.
I feel like we're at a crossroads in this country, and many others share that view. As I said before, we should pay less attention to the talking heads and political pundits, and more attention to our own common sense. If it whines like a politician, wastes money like a politician and blames other people for its own mistakes like a politician, then it's probably a politician. Let's consider good ideas and weigh the words of those seeking office against their own past actions and accomplishments. And don't take anyone's word for that ... do the research, be objective and step outside your own comfort zone long enough to consider what's best for our community and our country.
It is not enough to simply welcome in a new year ... we should do everything we can to make it a good year. That's my resolution and I hope it will be yours as well.
So, Happy New Year to everyone ... it has been the honor and privilege of my life to serve you in the House of Representatives for the greatest state in the Union. May the Lord richly bless and prosper you throughout 2014, and all the years that follow.

I'm in the process of cleaning out unneeded programs, and in the control panel, I've come across the following Adobe programs. I have no idea why they were loaded and I don't use any of them as far as I can tell. They are: Adobe AIR; Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX; Adobe Flash Player Plug-In; Adobe Reader and under that Adobe Reader 9.5.3-CPSID_83708. I use Windows XP SP3, Can I remove these programs and not interrupt anything? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you want to view videos in your browser, you probably need Adobe Flash Player. If you download-view-print .pdf files, then a .pdf reader is a good thing to have, but it doesn't necessarily HAVE to be Adobe Reader...there are others. Many people claim Adobe Reader is a problem for them, but it's never caused me any trouble. You probably don't need Adobe Air unless you have a program which requires it...do you? |
Thx azinoh for your response. Yep, do view videos in Google, so will keep Flash Player. I too, never have had a problem with Adobe Reader. As for the Air program, I can't think of any program that I have that requires it. Of course, if I do have and it pops up later, I can always reload Adobe Air if need be. |

Clive Owen is trying to explain everything that is cool about Sin City, a $40 million marriage of crime saga and special effects starring Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, and the man who would be King Arthur. But when a woman tarted up in black leather is spitting bloody chunks of flesh on the floor, this can be difficult.
We are inside the Texas filmmaking HQ of movie maverick Robert Rodriguez (Once Upon a Time in Mexico), where on a soundstage that's wall-to-wall greenscreen, Alexander's Rosario Dawson is ravaging the neck of Gilmore Girls' Alexis Bledel. Both play hookers in Sin City, a movie teeming with shady characters. Mobsters, mercenaries, cannibals you know, the usual underbelly scum. In this scene, Bledel is explaining why she has betrayed their sisterhood of pistol-packing prostitutes, when suddenly Dawson lunges and chomps. . .on a strip of latex slathered in red corn syrup tucked behind Bledel's ear. She rips it away and spits. Lips dripping with cherry goo, Dawson smiles like she just won a pie-eating contest.
Through all of this, Owen, clad in a trench coat and red Converse, has been trying to make several important points in a low whisper.
''Robert is totally outside the Hollywood loop. Does everything his own way. I can't see any other way to do this movie ''
''You bit me!'' Bledel shrieks.
''Sin City is violent,'' Owen continues, ''but with tremendous wit. It's film noir, bent out of shape ''
''Arrrrggghh!'' Bledel wobbles and falls.
''Everyone has the same objective,'' Owen goes on, ''to bring Frank Miller's comics to life. Literally.''
Fake flesh splats on the floor.
Owen shakes his head. ''That's wrong. Just wrong.''
Behind a wall of monitors that resembles a workstation at NASA mission control, Rodriguez, wearing his trademark cowboy hat and strumming a guitar, reviews Dawson's chomp. One screen shows the shot in color; another shows the shot converted into stark black and white; yet another shows the shot as drawn in The Big Fat Kill, one of three graphic novels that make up theinterconnected, Pulp Fictionesque triptych of Sin City. Rodriguez's intention is to replicate the comics nearly panel for panel a gambit as bold as it is commercially risky. But in Sin City, people are always doing crazy things for love. For all its splatter, the film is really mushy a big, bloody valentine, from one fiercely independent artist to another. So determined is Rodriguez to get this right, he made the comic-book auteur his codirector. ''Looks good,'' says Miller with a nod.
''Good,'' says Dawson. ''Don't want to wimp out on Frank.''
''Sin City is a pretty f---ed-up place,'' Owen concludes, as he wades into the green for the next scene, picking up a prop as he goes. It's a decapitated head.
Bits of flesh and severed noggins, sadistic brutes and femmes fatales and we haven't even mentioned the Yellow Bastard, who is literally yellow and actually a rapist. Sin City might be a comic-book movie, but you won't find masked marvels patrolling these scuzzy streets. ''I told my mom I was dressed like an S&M superhero,'' says Dawson. ''She was like, 'What's your name?' I said 'Gail.' She said, 'No, your superhero name?' I said, 'No, Mom, I'm not actually a superhero. . .'''

[1288] Prognostic Impact of Immunophenotyping in Elderly Acute Myeloid Leukemia with Normal Karyotype.
Allan Jiang, Joseph Brandwein, Hong Chang. University Health Network, Toronto, Canada
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients 60 years and older have a particularly short survival, and thus are difficult to treat. Prognostic markers are required to better stratify these patients. Two recent studies have shown that parameters such as CD34 expression and complex karyotype correlated with the adverse outcome of elderly AML. However, little is known about prognostic factors in elderly normal karyotype (NK) AML, the largest AML cytogenetic risk group with a high degree of clinical heterogeneity. We therefore evaluated the prognostic relevance of immunophenotypic markers, in the context of genetic and clinical features, on a large cohort of elderly NK-AML patients.
Design: Of 518 elderly patients diagnosed with de novo AML between Jan 2005 and Mar 2010 at UHN, 203 were uniformly treated with cytosine arabinoside and daunorubicin as per institutional protocol. 103 of these patients were classified as NK-AML, and were entered into our study. FLT3 and NPM1 status were evaluated by multiplex RT-PCR, and immunophenotypes were determined by multi-parameter flow cytometry.
Results: CD7 was expressed in 23 of 97 (24%) patients; CD15 in 47 of 99 (47%); CD34 in 50 of 100 (50%), CD56 in 14 of 97 (14%); and HLA-DR in 71 of 98 (72%). 63 (61%) patients achieved complete remission (CR) following induction therapy; the median event-free survival (EFS) was 8.2 months, and the median overall survival (OS) was 15.4 months. CD56 positivity correlated with lower CR rate (29% vs. 67%, p=0.008). Patients expressing CD56 (median 1.1 vs. 8.8 months, p=0.021) and CD34 (median 6.1 vs. 10.5 months, p=0.008) had shorter EFS, as did patients lacking CD15 (median 7.1 vs. 9.4 months, p=0.050). In addition, leukocyte count >30x109/L (median 12.1 vs. 18.3 months, p=0.039), FLT3-ITD mutation (median 10.1 vs. 26.6 months, p=0.002), and CD34 expression (median 13.0 vs. 20.5 months, p=0.042) conferred a shorter OS. Other parameters such as age, FAB subtype, CD7, and HLA-DR, did not significantly impact outcome. Multivariate analysis adjusting for leukocyte count, CD15, CD34, and CD56 expression revealed that CD34 is an independent predictor of lower CR rate (HR=0.21, p=0.003), EFS (HR=2.17, p=0.003), and OS (HR=1.84, p=0.026). CD56 predicted an inferior CR rate (HR=0.06, p<0.001) and EFS (HR=3.00, p=0.002), while high leukocyte count predicted shorter OS (HR=1.95, p=0.012).
Conclusions: Our data indicate that CD34, CD56 and high leukocyte count are adverse prognostic factors in elderly NK-AML. Further studies are warranted to confirm the impact of these immunophenotypes, and may lead to a better therapeutic management of elderly AML.

Short Film of the Day: The Train Home
Features By Scott Beggs on June 24, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? Because the camera is a memorycatcher. It's not easy to tell how this film was put together because the images don't always follow in a distinguishable pattern – nor do they need to. This absolutely stunning short from Graham Burns seems to take found footage from a personal collection and edit it into a new narrative. The story focuses on a man returning from WWII only to find he's still affected by what he's seen and done. The structure is taken apart in hauntingly sweet segments that ultimately devolve into a projectionist's flicker as Burns toys with the mechanisms of filmmaking and watching, exposing a part of the exposure we don't usually get to see. All of it is backed by a thoughtful score by Radical Face that squeezes even more life out of every moment. What does it cost? Just 6 minutes of your time. Check out The Train Home for yourself:

Almost as important as what you wear on your big day is what you wear on your big night—and the Bruna Erhardt Vogue Brazil Brides editorial displays an array of classic yet seductive options.
Shot by Renam Christofoletti, Erhardt is shown in ironically virginal white lingerie pieces that are alluring and easy to sport under the dress. Styled by Raquel Lionel with creative direction by Daniela Paudice, "Bruna wows in feminine lace and floral details," says Fashion Gone Rogue.
Adding to the vintage-classic theme of the shoot, the photos were finished in sepia and black and white, giving them the appearance of being antiqued and old.
Bruna Erhardt's timeless beauty and eloquent posing make her the perfect candidate for a provocative shoot like this.

One of the aims of the tour is to let convention attendees see how seriously independent retailers take produce, Holzkopf said.
"We want to show it's not just the big guys who are supporting the produce industry."
Shop and Save's Archer store, which stocks about 600 fresh produce items on a daily basis, is located just ten minutes from the terminal market, and many market workers stop at the store on the way home, Holzkopf said.
The chain's produce team is what Holzkopf calls a "one-two punch" of himself and Patrick Morales, a buyer who walks the market every day.
Part of Shop and Save's success, Holzkopf says, has come from catering to local residents. In the case of the Archer store, that means a largely Polish customer base. The store makes sure its produce department features plenty of cabbage, beets and carrots to satisfy that clientele, Holzkopf said.
Locally grown is another big produce category for Shop and Save. Michigan peaches and Illinois and Wisconsin sweet corn are just a couple of the many big summer sellers at the store, Holzkopf said.
In addition to leading the retail tour, the company's first for a convention, Holzkopf looks forward to attending Midwest Produce.
"Last time was the first time we went to PMA, and we're at the point where we're trying to learn more and more about the industry in general," he said.

Carlos Sastre soars to a Tour de France victory with an amazing ride in the stage 20 time trial.
Words, photos and video from James Startt
July 26, 2008
Saint-Amand-Montrond, France:
Contrary to many past champions, Carlos Sastre took his time and enjoyed the moment. Arriving in the press room after cinching Tour de France victory with a superb final time trial, Sastre broke from security ranks to personally shake hands and chat for a moment with many of his favorite journalists.
And during a 30-odd minute press conference Sastre reflected on each question and reflected on each moment, before responding amply. At 33 years old, the quiet Spaniard with sad eyes and a warm smile knows he will not have many moments like this one.
"You know in Spain we take a lot of time to set up the foundation," he said. "We may lose time early on, but it pays off in the end."
This year's Tour started with many contenders and no confirmed favorites. None of the pre-race picks had ever worn the famed yellow jersey for even a day, not Australian Cadel Evans, not Luxembourg's Frank or Andy Schleck, not Russia's Denis Menchov and not Carlos Sastre.
And throughout the three weeks, none of the contenders was able to gain a clear upper hand. In the end victory was a result of solid team tactics and seizing the right opportunities.
Sastre's moment came on the foot of the Alpe d'Huez. Attacking while his rival Evans marked his teammate Frank Schleck, Sastre grabbed nearly a minute 30 second lead on his rivals and teammates.
But while the Schleck's started the race as co-leaders with Sastre, the CSC team insisted on playing the team card again and again. And it worked.
"Coming into the race I knew I was in the best shape of my life and that I had trained perfectly," Sastre said. "But to win the Tour is another thing. Fortunately I'm with the CSC team and we were able to really control the race in all the important moments. It was very hard and there were a lot of moments where it was uncertain, but after winning on the Alpe d'Huez I knew it was possible. But I really have to thank my entire team, because when my opportunity came, the team really gave 100% for me. "
Sastre may be a champion of circumstance, but few would say he was undeserving. He finished third in the 2006 Tour, and fourth in the 2007 Tour and was runner-up in the Tour of Spain in 2005 and 2006.
And while never appeared to be a dominating rider in this year's race, he knew how to seize the moment when it arrived. But then he had spent year's building the foundation. It was just a matter of time.

In a Dec. 21 letter to franchisees, Jimmy John Liautaud said 28 of 40 salmonella victims interviewed by public health officials reported eating at Jimmy John's. Of those, 25 reported eating sprouts, he said.
The Illinois Department of Public Health confirmed 43 cases of illness involving the same salmonella serotype. Many victims, the department said, reported eating sprouts at Jimmy John's restaurants in 10 Illinois counties: Adams, Champaign, Cook, DuPage, Kankakee, Macon, McHenry, McLean, Peoria and Will.
In his letter, Liautaud said the Champaign, Ill.-based chain is temporarily removing sprouts from Illinois menus while awaiting direction from the state. "No source has been found yet, this is a precautionary measure," according to the letter.
The company's main supplier of alfalfa sprouts tested negative for salmonella on Dec. 17, Liautaud said, and restaurants tested to date were also negative.
The state also asked Jimmy John's to test all food-handling employees at two restaurants in Champaign. Those tests were still ongoing Dec. 21.
In May, Caldwell Fresh Foods, Maywood, Calif., recalled alfalfa sprouts after more than two dozen people in 10 states had been sickened with the same strain of salmonella.
Other companies recalled sprouts in July, August and October after testing confirmed salmonella or listeria, but illnesses were not linked to those cases.

In (faint) praise of Comcast: the new iPhone/iPad app
Some tech-support blood, sweat and tears finally got the new Comcast mobile app working. One more step forward in the Xfinity TV concept.
I'm a fan of Comcast's Xfinity TV concept, which lets customers of the giant cable company watch their television shows and movies, as well as on-demand content, on computers and mobile phones.
Its latest development is an app for the iPad/iPhone, which promises to let you watch all your cable programming on your Apple device. Right now, it acts as a sophisticated, lightning fast remote control for your cable box.
A bevy of Comcast tech support people helped me to get it working. It took the better part of a week, and nearly five hours of actual hands-on time to solve a Comcast tech issue that seemed to rest on the way I signed into my Comcast account. I had the feeling I wasn't the first person who had experienced this same problem. (More on that later.)
Comcast is fighting back, as are other cable companies, against the phenomenon known as "cutting the cord." The idea is that the public is fed up with the high prices — and some say highhandedness — of cable services and are turning to alternate ways of getting the TV shows and movies they want to their living room TV set with subscription services such as Netflix, or a la carte, pay-as-you-go operations such as Apple iTunes and Amazon TV.
Along the way, Internet services such as Pandora internet radio and Facebook — features that cable never would have made available to its customers — are now available for watching on your TV. You can hook up a computer directly to your TV or purchase add-on boxes such as Apple TV, Roku, Google TV, and Boxee. Or you can buy new-generation Blu-ray players, game consoles and TVs with these services, or "apps," built in.
Whether cutting the cord has traction is difficult to pin down. But the cable companies are taking it very seriously.
At Comcast, the Xfinity TV service is a major tool in its arsenal to fend off these new forces, especially for those who want their media everywhere: on their computers, laptops and smartphones.
Virtually all Comcast TV shows and movies are now available for watching on your computer. That includes Comcast's own estimate of 150,000 items such as movies, programs from multiple broadcast networks, popular cable shows (e.g., "The Closer" or "Top Chef"), and, oh, those lovely premium channel shows ("Dexter," anyone?).
There are a few caveats: You need a Comcast digital cable TV account to qualify for these services. The service you contracted for is what you'll see; if you haven't signed up for HBO for your regular cable service, for example, you're not going to see it on your mobile devices.
A "My TV" feature lets you personalize your viewing options, set up recordings on your DVR from their computer, and keep track of your favorite TV shows and movies in a "Watchlist" feature. If you're a social media type, you can talk about what you're watching with your Facebook/Twitter friends.
The iPad and iPhone apps arrived about two weeks ago. While their current functionality limits them to acting as a cable box remote control, a Comcast spokesperson said people will be able to watch shows on these devices within weeks. An Android phone app should be available early next year.
With the Apple app, you can see a full listing of all your channels, change channels, and set up recordings, and control your DVR (digital video recorder) to play back your recorded shows. You can set up a "favorite channel" list, and tweak your settings to see, for example, only the HDTV channels.
Switching between channels and services with the app is incredibly fast: it controls your cable box through your home WiFi network while your remote still operates on the slow, old-school infra-red technology
Checking out on-demand programming on the iPad/iPhone is a welcome relief from using Comcast's awkward on-set search system. You can scan programming by a pure alphabetical list, by networks, genres, and more. Not all on-demand programs are available for browsing in the first edition of this app but there's plenty of content to choose from.

Wow, it's hard to believe that is was so difficult to get an app going that doesn't do too much for viewing purposes. I had my app for my DISH Remote Access up in less than 20mins. My name is Nicole and I work for DISH Network. With the new Sling Adapter I'm able to watch live TV on my Smartphone from anywhere I please rather than just in my home (like Comcast). Comcast isn't doing too well on keeping up on technology that the masses are demanding.

Hey this is Nate. As a DISH employee I can tell you that DISH also offers Google TV through the Logitech Revue. DISH has even enhanced integration on the Revue so that when you pull up your search it will search everything on the web and any recording on your DVR receiver and the guide search through your satellite under what your topic was. Comcast customers with the ipad cannot View live TV at this time out side of the home so they cannot provide you TV everywhere like DISH.

The inaugural World Baseball Classic came to an exciting close Monday night before 42,000-plus fans in San Diego, as Japan finally pulled away from a persistent Cuban team with four runs in the top of the ninth to seal a 10-6 victory — and claim the sport's first true world championship.
By most accounts the tournament was a success, especially among fans overseas — the main target of the effort, led by Major League Baseball as it seeks to extend its global reach. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig accomplished his mission of "an international tournament that would bring together the world's best teams," wrote New York Times columnist William C. Rhoden (subscription required), with games that were "a demonstration of outstanding competition and colorful crowds, with organized cheering and spontaneous dancing."
"Baseball: A hit heard around the world," declared one headline; "Japan reigns, but everyone's a winner," said another. So impressed was the Times Rhoden that he concluded the century-old name of our sacrosanct World Series should be discarded in deference to the WBC. "This has been a legitimate global series, and that's Selig's problem," he wrote. "The tournament was immediately so successful that Major League Baseball must re-examine its place in international baseball. Specifically, it must rename its fall classic."
American sportswriters have spilled much ink covering the Classic, from George Steinbrenner's grumpiness toward the event to the favored U.S. team's early demise to the impressive Cuban players playing for pride and love of the game. But amid all the pomp and sporting drama, few newspapers have given any meaningful consideration to the WBC's finances.
Bloomberg News was one of those few, reporting that the Classic "was designed to bolster baseball's sales outside of the United States and Canada, which account for just 5 percent of its $5 billion in annual revenue." Bloomberg added that the Classic's $50 million cost is being split between MLB and its players' union, with half of the event's profit to be given "to the baseball federations of participating countries, with the understanding that they will spend 50 percent on grassroots development." Last weekend, meanwhile, the New York Daily News reported that in terms of "the hard numbers of viewers, tickets sold and revenues," MLB officials "met or exceeded most of their modest expectations." While organizers drew a total of 737,112 fans when they "had hoped to sell about 800,000 tickets," "American television ratings were respectable, with demand exceeding what ESPN had planned," while overseas the WBC games earned some tremendous ratings.
Today the Wall Street Journal made its own important contribution, giving a detailed explanation of the divvying of the event's profits (expected to be $10 million to $15 million). Placing the event in the context of a larger shift among baseball's franchise owners "from a culture of division and selfishness to one of risk-taking and even collective sacrifice," the Journal produced the kind of solid, broader business reporting on the Classic that had been missing in recent coverage.
Yet those exceptions aside, the baseball press corps overall seems to have forgotten in this case that sport is business, especially when it concerns leagues vying to tap into promising new markets (as basketball's NBA has done very fruitfully over the past few decades). And many other journalists who did bother to consider the financial implications of the Classic gave Selig & Co. a glowing free pass.
"Major League Baseball's big experiment became an instant success — Monday's game drew 42,696 and the entire tournament attendance was 737,112 — and commissioner Bud Selig has raved about the ratings," reported the Associated Press, before moving on to other matters. For the Chicago Sun-Times, one remarkably incurious toss-off sentence was enough: "It's true the WBC was a big moneymaker for Major League Baseball, but MLB is a business, and it does have the right to generate revenue."
A similarly vague yet heavily positive assessment was produced by the New York Post in its story, "Baseball Bonanza."
"Flag-waving fans of global baseball teams set off a frenzy of merchandise sales that baseball bosses say they've never seen before," reported the Post, which said the "World Classic Baseball tournament" concluded "with unprecedented back orders for millions of dollars in merchandise." "We've got nothing to compare this to," said Howard Smith, the Classic's senior vice president of licensing and the one specific person the Post relied on for its unfailing, overwrought enthusiasm. "It's just blown away all expectations we've had."

May 23, 2013 4:23 PM by Olivia DeGennaro and Katherine Worsham, KSBY News
As we celebrate our 60th anniversary here at KSBY, we're continuing our countdown of the top 60 local stories of the past 60 years.
Number 55 is the ongoing Los Osos sewer project.
Construction began in 2005, but was cancelled when the Los Osos Community Services District went bankrupt.
New plans for a sewer started in 2007 and gained approval from the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors in March of 2011.
Construction is currently underway, with a price tag of nearly $190 million dollars, making it the most expensive sewer in the nation.
At 54, we covered the murder of 15-year old Nicholas Markowitz.
He was kidnapped on August 6th, 2000, then murdered three days later in Goleta.
While most of his killers were shortly sent to prison, the mind behind the murder, Jesse James Hollywood, fled and was not found until 2005.
KSBY followed his 2009 trial in Santa Barbara, and on February 5th, 2010, Hollywood was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The Markowitz murder inspired the movie "Alpha Dog", starring Justin Timberlake.
Seismic testing around Diablo Canyon was a hot-button issue in the last few years.
That's number 53 on our list.
In May of 2010, PG&E said before it's license was renewed, the nuclear power plant needed a full 3D seismic study to map off-shore fault lines that could pose a risk in the event of an earthquake.
That concern was heightened in March 2011 when a tsunami hit Japan, causing a nuclear meltdown.
PG&E planned to start its $64 million seismic testing in mid-2012 and that price tag would be tacked onto customers' bills.
In early 2012 however, local fishermen, environmentalists, and community members voiced their opposition to the testing, worried it may harm marine life.
This eventually led the California Coastal Commision to deny PG&E a permit and call off seismic testing in November 2012.
At number 52, a shooting rampage at a Pismo Beach Denny's on March 15th, 2006 is now remembered as one of the bloodiest public shooting sprees in SLO County history.
A homeless man named Lawrence Edward Woods walked into the restaurant around noon that day.
He shot and killed two Grover Beach men, then turned the gun on himself.
Two others were injured in that shooting.
At number 51, whale sightings at Avila Beach.
In January of 2012, some bird watchers had a rare encounter with an orca whale, making it the third recorded sighting of killer whales off of San Luis Obispo County.
And in August of last year, a group of humpback whales had a week-long stay in Avila.
They had both locals and visitors racing to take their pictures.

SAP Business One Functionality

Small Business Value
Current Articles | RSS Feed
With so many new features being introduced in SAP Business One 9.0, questions may arise as to how your businesses current server and computer systems will adapt to all of the new feature rollouts. The engineers, developers and small business experts at SAP have recognized such issues and in response have implemented a number of Client and DIAPI (The interface between Business One and other systems like websites, add-on software, web entry software for timekeeping, etc.) performance and infrastructure enhancements in SAP Business One 9.0 that work seamlessly with your businesses current systems so you can continue to get the most out of your ERP solution.
The introduction of Client and DIAPI performance and infrastructure enhancements brings us to the 5th and final part of Top 5 Best New Features in SAP Business One 9.0 as selected by the Vision33 TOTAL Care Team. Here, the Vision33 TOTAL Care team highlights enhancements such as: 64-bit compatibility, increased RAM support, increased application process speed and more. Be sure to watch the SAP Business One Version 9.0 New Features – Performance Enhancements webinar with Carl Lewis of the Vision33 TOTAL Care Team below to get an in-depth look at the upcoming enhancements.
One of the most notable performance enhancements that will be introduced in SAP Business One 9.0 is 64-bit compatibility for both the Client and DIAPI. Current versions of SAP Business One are 32-bit compatible, even if you operate a 64-bit system, meaning your Client and DIAPI hit a maximum RAM allowance of 3.25 gigabytes. Most users won't find a need for large amounts of RAM, unless they are running an ERP system that requires the management of vast amounts of data to be sent back and forth between various systems. RAM can send and receive data faster than a hard disk, therefore the more RAM that is available, the more information a program can store for quick access. With a 64-bit system, the maximum allowance of RAM is estimated at 16 Exabyte's – more than enough memory to run an ERP system seamlessly for your small to midsize business.
The old adage, "less is more," is true in many cases, but in the case of 32-bit versus 64-bit, more is most definitely better. With the 64-bit version of SAP Business One, applications run 2-times faster than applications running on a 32-bit system. This is possible because a 64-bit system send 2-times larger blocks of data to the processor for processing and calculation, allowing you to send and receive data at much greater speeds. Processes may take as long as 8 seconds to complete on a 32-bit system, but will only take a maximum of 4 seconds on a 64-bit system. Having a 4 second response time is instrumental in sending, receiving and processing more data in a shorter period of time, resulting in a greater turn-around of every day tasks.
With all of the new performance and infrastructure enhancements coming to Version 9.0, you will be equipped with a faster, smarter and safer ERP solution that will run seamlessly with your existing systems.
To re-cap, here are the Top 5 Best New Features in SAP Business One 9.0 as selected by the Vision33 TOTAL Care Team that you can look forward to in the upcoming release:

I've been reading this forum with great interest for quite a while and have learned a lot. And knowledge is power, so I'm about to make some powerful changes and take charge of my finances.
Don't know how much detail you need, but I hope to get some advice and a push in the right direction if possible. So, I am in year 21 of my 30 year FMHA mortgage with an interest rate of 9%. I could go back to 1 or 2 % if necessary, and since my husband became ill eight years ago I've held onto the FHMA just in case I needed to be subsidised again. But i haven't had too, and while he is still very ill, I think I may be ready to take the plunge and refi to a rate of 5% or less. I owe 75 k (including recapture), the home is worth (as is) almost 400k, even in this market. However, before he became ill we had started a complete renovation and had to stop before we were finished. The house needs another 100k to be done, with extreme likelyhood of recouping that (new septic, kitchen and roof) in a few years when I sell. The other factor is credit cards, when he became ill and had to retire we became credit card users--for out of town hotels near the hospital etc. My goal is to pay off the outrageous crdit cards(25k), the mortgage, (75k), and next year borrow another 100 to finish off the hosue. I'd do it all at once if I could, but his health prohibits living in a construction zone for at least a year. So, if I pay off my 9% mortgage, and my 17-27% credit cards, I'll have a significant monthly savings. My credit is good, I will keep a lower interest card for my monthly cell phone and car fuel bill. Otherwise we won't need to use them again, we're not in the habit of buying stuff, and make do with family furniture,etc. My income is decent, and even if my husband does not survive the next year I will still be able to make payments fairly easily. One concern is if I borrow only half of what I need now, will that hinder me next year when I want to borrow the rest? And would i be smarter to go back to being subsidised and not pay off my mortgage? If I do that, than who knows how much my recapture will be down the line? I suppose I could be subsidised for the next nine years, and then start paying down the subsidy, but I really don't know if that is a better plan. I do know for sure that paying off those credit cards will free up a lot of monthly cash--maybe I should make double mortgage payments and stay with FMHA? And yet another issue is every time i call FMHA I get a different answer, so i am pretty worried about it though being re-subsidised is a tempting idea. What to do?! Anyway, I know I'll have to factor in closing costs, and am a little worried about doubling my debt next year to finish off the house. Several realtors have told me I must do it if I have any hope of making back anything I've already out into it,luckily before he became ill we did all of the work ourselves and financed nothing. The other piece is that of course I would love to finish what we started thirteen years ago, and if I end up living here forever I will not regret finishing it. Also we have no other debt, thank goodness. Your advice, input, opinions are all welcome, this is a huge and scary step for me! Thanks very much. |

You need to work with a Lender. FMHA is a Farmer's Home Loan .. is that what you have? And I don't understand the part where you say you were "subsidized", or "recapture"... If your home is still incomplete, most lenders will not want to close on a new/refinance mortgage until the work has been finished. |
- Posted by fallingwaters (My Page) on Mon, Mar 29, 10 at 17:22
thank you for your response pam. i'll try to clarify for you. first, i am working with a lender. the lender wants to sell me a loan, which is why i am seeking other non-vested opinions. fmha is farmer's home and the loan is a subsidised loan if i need it to be.. so when i took out the loan in 1989 i got a 9% loan but only had to pay 2% of that each month, the rest was subsidised by them--which was the only way at the time i could get into homeownership. luckily i only needed the subsidy help for a few years before i was able to pay the full monthly note at 9%. recapture is basically paying back what the program 'lent' you while you were being subsidised. the house is fully functional, but what needs to happen is the kitchen, mudroom and septic need to be brought up to the remodeled standards of the rest of the house. basically we have the plan for the new kitchen addition fleshed out, but the work stopped when my husband became ill and he could no longer do the work. now we'll have to pay someone to do it, which will cost a lot more than doing it ourselves. |
If you have the option to refinance under 5% from 9%, you need to do that ASAP. That will almost cut your mortgage payment in half. Use the extra money to pay down your credit cards. Once that is done, you should have a fair amount of "extra" money in your budget. If your kitchen is "livable" I would suggest you don't borrow money for upgrades. Use the extra money you have been spending on mortgage and credit card payments and start saving. Build up an emergency fund so you don't fall back into credit card debt when life throws you the next curve ball. Once that is done, you can look at home equity lines to finish any outstanding construction - or better yet, continue to save money so that you can pay cash for your dream kitchen. |
- Posted by pamghatten (My Page) on Tue, Mar 30, 10 at 12:14
Thanks fallingwater, I understand now. I have seen other loan programs with recapture provisions, but not one with a subsidy like that. Nice program! I would agree with Bill ... rates are still very low and it woould save you a lot of money to get a lower rate. Shop around a little and see what a couple lenders could offer you. |
- Posted by ian_bc_north (My Page) on Tue, Mar 30, 10 at 16:25
From here (Canada) it looks like interest rates are on their way back up. I like the idea of locking in low rates all else being equal. From time to time I have used a HELOC to pay off my credit cards. The HELOC is 2.5% over prime if memory serves. If your credit is good you should at least shop around for lower rates on the credit card debt. Even the threat of taking your business elsewhere might get your credit card companies to drop their rates. I am quite well aware of the arguments against using secured debt, i.e. the HELOC, versus unsecured debt, i.e. the credit cards. My personal finances are good enough that I can't see ever defaulting on debt so the difference between secured and unsecured debt is irrelevant for me. |

Totem Talk: Elemental shaman in patch 4.3 {WoW}
Nov 26th 2011 9:34PM Now that totems have been uncoupled from buffs, eliminating Fire Elemental is the only other major problem I have with shamans. If I wanted to play a pet class I'ld be playing a pet class.
The Queue: Shyvana totally looks like Alexstrasza {WoW}
Nov 5th 2011 1:08PM Well, remember, Kil'jaeden is called the Dischiever so you have to figure he is fairly good at manipulating people. He could show up and explain to Kael'thas how the whole marching the Scourge through Silvermoon was all Ner'zhul and Arthas, and he had nothing to do with it. They could commiserate over crazy people they've allied with (Kael was tied to Illidan who spent most of his time mumbling to himself on his throne in the Black Temple). Then Kil'jaeden could have offered to give the Blood Elves some of this surplus arcane and fel energy he has lying around and that the Belfs are addicted to.
Short version: Hey, Kael, sorry 'bout the whole Scourging thing. Old guys I don't even work with any more did that. Too make up for it why don't you have some of this extra magic I got just taking up space. Once again, sorry for your loss and if you ever get tired of working with Illidan remember the Burning Legion is always hiring. --your pal, Kil'jaeden.
Breakfast Topic: What starting zone bores you? {WoW}
Oct 29th 2011 8:28AM I'm kind of in a minority, but I liked the Dwarf/Gnome starting zone before "Cataclysm" and I like it even better now. The human and undead zones, though, I find fairly boring.
The Queue: Everyone's sleeping ... {WoW}
Oct 23rd 2011 1:19PM A couple and it got a 'we'll look into that' type response every time. If I were to hazard a guess I'ld say probably not gonna happen, but not a definite no right now.
The Queue: Everyone's sleeping ... {WoW}
Oct 23rd 2011 12:00PM Q 1: Has anybody seen the pandaren shaman totems? Beer kegs (please, no), drums, bamboo sticks, carved dragon statues?
Q 2: How may variations on 'Adrian' do you think people can come up with to name their monk?
Totem Talk: Restoration's pre-BlizzCon special {WoW}
Oct 18th 2011 3:48PM On Totems,...
Been saying this for years now. Nice to see some others thinking along similar lines.
WoW Archivist: The Gates of Ahn'Qiraj {WoW}
Apr 19th 2011 1:19PM I was around back then at it was a lot of fun. The Shift Sands questline and the (seemingly) endless rep grinds weren't for me, but the supply gathering part of the war effort was worth the price of admission. I still remember gathering supplies to get commendations to get rep with trolls to get a raptor mount for my undead warrior. Even with the server meltdowns at the end, one of the best times to be a WoW player.

First Details On Lauren Conrad's V. Glam Wedding
If you're a Hills fanatic, you know what that means. Don't worry, though — BFF Lo Bosworth will definitely be there. Heidi and Spencer? Not so much. And, knowing how desperate the media (cough, cough) is for details, Conrad is going to be keeping a very close eye on when and how the information makes its way into the public record. The anonymous source says she's "even thinking of banning cell phones from the ceremony!"
LC is known to have very particular taste, and we don't blame her. So, she'll probably have lots of ideas about even the most minute details of the ceremony. Word is she'll enlist a friend, or an event planner, to help out with logistics, but she definitely "isn't going to give control over to anyone else."
Well, here's to playing the waiting game. We'll be standing by for any leaked details — phones or no phones. (Life & Style)

RE: need help with a spice called Tanduri (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: daisyduckworth on 12.26.2007 at 07:06 pm in Cooking Forum I agree it's probably a spice blend for making Tandoori dishes, and will contain cumin, chilli, and coriander at the very least. Possibly garlic, lemon, onion, turmeric (for the colour) and ginger added as well. The meat is supposed to come out a red colour, so often a red food dye is added.
Tandoori is traditionally made on a special charcoal stove called a Tandor, but the modern version is much easier. Here's a really simple recipe for which you could use your Tanduri. Use the tanduri instead of the cumin/coriander and curry powder. Minted Tandoori Lamb Combine yoghurt, cumin, coriander and curry powder, mix well. Toss pieces of lamb in yoghurt mixture, coat evenly. Place lamb on a rack which is standing inside a baking dish. Bake at 180°C for 45 minutes, turning lamb every 15 minutes. Sprinkle mint over lamb and serve immediately. Ditto for this recipe: Chicken Tandoori Combine, coriander, lime juice, cumin, garlic, ginger, salt, cayenne, turmeric. Stir to mix. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover with capsicum and onions. Cover, chill overnight (or longer). Grill (broil) until done, basting with marinade throughout cooking. I'd love to know what other spices were included in this wonderful gift! NOTES: <none>

OMG - Marilyn's Fish Cakes - Incredible ! (pic)
posted by: canarybird on 05.08.2006 at 06:56 pm in Cooking Forum We still can't believe how good they are - there is still one left in the fridge and I guess we'll have to halve it or toss a coin. I bought fresh salmon today and decided to make Marilyn's recipe for mixing raw salmon, rather than tinned or leftover, into delicious, moist cakes. They're out of this world ! Wolf kept saying "wunderbar" and I kept saying "Mmmmm". These are no ordinary salmon cakes and I can't say enough how much better they are than the ones I've always made. I'll post some small pics of my steps in making them and then the recipe.
I used small grains of almond to replace part of the breadcrumbs. Here is the final mixture with one pattie scooped out. The first pattie is formed before cooking. The Final Dish, served with steamed vegetables. Thanks Marilyn - I've now learned how to make the best salmon cakes ever......and have already passed on the recipe to my sister, brother and two daughters LOL.

In a small bowl, combine garlic, onion, Tabasco, egg, parsley, mayonnaise, salt and pepper; set aside. Remove skin and bones from salmon and cut into small cubes (about 1/2-inch); place in a medium bowl and gently stir in bread crumbs. Gently fold egg mixture into salmon and bread and refrigerate at least 2 hours before shaping into 4 patties. Carefully coat the outside of each patty with Panko crumbs. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot and add salmon cakes. Fry the cakes until brown, about 4 minutes on each side turning only once. Serve with lemon wedges or your favorite tarter sauce. *May substitute cracker crumbs or bread crumbs for the Panko.

Ngaio Marsh
Ngaio Marsh ranks with authors Dorothy Sayers, Margery Allingham, and Agatha Christie as the doyennes, or "Queens of Crime", of twentieth century traditional British mysteries. Marsh was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 1895 and died there in 1982. Her first name is a Maori word meaning "reflections on the water." Marsh attended St. Mary's College, Canterbury University, where she studied painting, and served in the New Zealand Red Cross Transport Unit during WWII. She had a lifelong love of the theater. She acted, wrote for television and plays, and directed and produced several Shakespeare plays in New Zealand. In England, in 1949, she founded the British Commonwealth Theatre. She lived long enough to see theater-starved New Zealand set up with a viable professional theater industry. The Ngaio Marsh Theatre at Canterbury University is named in her honor. The theater appears as a setting in several of her novels.
What she writes: Over a span of fifty years, Marsh wrote 32 mystery novels featuring Scotland Yard Superintendent Roderick Alleyn, a member of the nobility who joined the police force after returning from World War I. The Inspector Alleyn mysteries are praised for the puzzle-like nature of the plots, ingenious murder methods, and excellent dialogue. As a writer, Marsh delights in country house amenities, dotty English lords, vicars, village busybody spinsters, maps, bizarre murder weapons, and a large cast of characters. Most of the novels are set in England, but four are set in New Zealand. The Inspector Alleyn mysteries have been serialized for television by the British Broadcasting Corporation.

Big Data and Analytics: taking you on a journey. Interact with our new infographic which summarises many of the key headlines of 2014
This year has already been punctuated by a litany of high-profile frauds, ID thefts and data breaches. Here are the top 10 Fraud trends for 2014:
38 out of every 1000 customer records could flag up as fraudulent! how effective are your online fraud defences?
Join the webinar for first-hand analysis of the past 12 months and emerging fraud trends.
As digital living took hold in 2012, social media became a significant part of everyday life for millions across the UK. Indeed, social media makes up 12% of all internet visits and a remarkable 23% of the total time spent online in the UK. The challenge will be to monetise and measure social investments by understanding the value of the data, insights and conversions that these social channels create.
I was drawn to a recent article in The Independent's small business pages on corporate insolvencies entitled 'It will take years to solve the zombie problem – if it exists'.
Yesterday I was at DataIQ NOW! with a group of data professionals, who all share my passion for data and the potential it gives us to deliver even smarter marketing campaigns. Read about my key takeaways from the event.

Savings accounts have seen a steady uplift in attempted fraud rates within the past two years marking a trend that looks set to continue.
The latest labour market data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that the shine is finally coming off the UK labour market in line with our expectations.
2012 has been a year of growth for search, not just in terms of volume but also in its maturity and prominence within the marketing mix. By the end of 2012, UK internet users will have made a billion more visits to search engines than they did in 2011. It currently takes the UK a fortnight to make a billion searches; by next year that will be down to 12 days and by 2015 it will take just over nine days.

Green Coffee Bean Extract
En Español (Spanish Version)
Alternate Names / Related Terms:
Chlorogenic Acids;GCBE;CGA
Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
Weight Loss
Just as black tea is made by processing green tea leaves from their original state, ordinary coffee is made by roasting green coffee beans. This processing alters the chemical makeup of the plant product. In an analogy to the medicinal study of green tea, an extract made from green coffee beans is undergoing increasing investigation as a possible health-promoting supplement.
Like green tea, green coffee bean extracts (GCBE) contains strong antioxidants in the polyphenol family. The primary polyphenol antioxidants in green coffee bean extract are in a family known as chlorogenic acids (CGA). Meaningful, if still preliminary, evidence hints that CGA may help reduce blood pressure. Other proposed uses of GCBE are based primarily on its caffeine content, as well as observational studies of ordinary coffee consumption and the possible health benefits of antioxidants in general.
Animal studies have found evidence that chlorogenic acids from green coffee bean extract can reduce blood pressure.1 Based on this, researchers have conducted human trials.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 117 males with mild hypertension, GCBE was given for one month at 46 mg, 93 mg, or 185 mg daily.2After 28 days, the results showed a significant improvement in blood pressure as compared to placebo in the 93 mg and 185 mg groups. The results seen were dose-related, meaning that the greater the dose, the greater the improvement. The finding of dose-relatedness tends to increase the likelihood that a studied treatment is actually effective. Antihypertensive benefits were also seen in a much smaller study using purified chlorogenic acids.3
GCBE has also shown a bit of promise for aiding weight loss4, perhaps in part due to its chlorogenic acid content.5 The caffeine in GCBE might also provide a slight weight loss benefit.
GCBE products are sometimes said to help prevent diabetes; however, this claim derives only from weak evidence involving consumption of ordinary coffee,6 and cannot be relied upon at all.
Roasted (as opposed to green) coffee beans contain the substances kahweol and cafestol, which appear to increase levels of LDL ("bad" cholesterol).7 The fact that GCBE does not contain these substances is used as an argument in its favor. However, these substances remain in the coffee grounds and so they are also not present in standard beverage coffee, so this is probably not a significant point. (Unfiltered or boiled coffee, with the grounds left in, however, may present a risk.)

Herefordshire, Worcestershire Get New DAB Mux
London - Nov 20, 2013 - MuxCo has confirmed that a new DAB mux for Herefordshire and Worcestershire will be brought on-the-air on Dec. 6, 2013, according to RadioToday.
Test transmissions have begun recently from transmitters at Ridge Hill in Herefordshire and Malvern in Worcester. A third transmitter is expected to be added at Bromsgrove just off the M5/M42 interchange.
The Dec. 6 turn-up will be done at Worcester Warriors' rugby ground, the Sixways Stadium, by Harriet Baldwin, MP for West Worcestershire. Just more than half of homes (51.4 percent) in Hereford and Worcester currently have a DAB radio, and in the 3Q2013 RAJAR figures, 32.2 percent of radio listening in the area was via digital platforms.
